Daniel Grothe's 'Piledrivers in the Crypt'

This week on Piledrivers in the Crypt — ancient European Wildmen. The Wilder Mann. The Basajaun. A Soviet scientific expedition into the Almas that your history teacher never mentioned because your history teacher was useless.
Also a wild boar showed up and derailed everything because that's the world we live in now.
You're welcome.

"The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it."

PITC is back. No explanation. No apology. Daniel just walked back into the Crypt like he never left — and the Wormhole has been backed up for two months. Somebody's gonna have a bad time. New episode. Now.

“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”

It’s Christmas… but the joy isn’t landing. In this special holiday episode of Piledrivers in the Crypt... demonic Elf on the Shelf incidents, a drunk chain-smoking Santa with a naked Grey alien “helper”... Then we get serious. From Reagan and E.T. to Close Encounters and Taken, Spielberg’s long UFO history becomes the springboard into something darker: what if disclosure never happens because the invasion already did—through AI, distraction, and the slow dumbing-down of the human race?

🎄🩸 Merry Christmas… I guess. 🩸🎄

So yeah — the Christmas Special with the Mikes didn’t happen. Shocking, I know.But fear not, my festive little ghouls… predictions were made, holiday feelings were felt (against my will), and the halls are officially decked with bones and existential dread.

Listen on all the apps, on my website, and — and I swear on my Art Bell shrine — artbell.us actually works.No irony. No punchline. Reality is weird.

🐶 And seriously, before you go back to arguing with your family about nothing:If you can help Mikey, please donate to his fundraiser. Every bi...

A show that was probably a mistake… I mean, absolutely a mistake. The Mikes are here—yeah, that’s right, for ONE week only. And through some cosmic lapse in judgment I decided to open the wormhole for Larry the Dog.
And look, I know… that was a mistake. I admit it. My bad. I’ll say sorry on behalf of both timelines. But listen anyway! It’s painful, it’s emotional, it’s ridiculous—so basically perfect.
Do me a favor and crawl over to DanielGrothe.us, or whatever app you use while pretending podcasts make you smarter.

Daniel has somehow survived:Thanksgiving (barely)Black Friday (he still has bruises from that old lady with the shopping cart)Survivor Series (don’t even ask)Cyber Monday (his bank account is now a haunted house)Stranger Things (long story…)…and his first Perchtenlauf, where he learned that Austrian demons run faster than American ones.And naturally, he’s back in the Crypt—sarcastic, traumatized, and ready to talk about things that should’ve stayed buried.

🎧 Listen to the new episode now.
It’ll warm your cold little heart… or rip it out. Depends on your mood.

Daniel survives another Thanksgiving by weaponizing spite, reading your possessed-poultry emails, and dragging us all back to Chernobyl where Mothman apparently moonlights as a safety inspector. The Mikes on Mics finally crawl out of whatever cornfield abduction they were enjoying, grace us with their presence for exactly one episode like the prodigal fanboys they are, and spend twenty minutes simping harder for John Cena than a 14-year-old at a 1998 Backstreet Boys concert.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope the Black Bird pairs great with cranberry sauce...
