I don't 9 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:53.000 know what it was. For over fifteen years, we've talked with scientists, 10 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:59.640 researchers, investigators, and witnesses trying to gain insight and truth around the existence 11 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:08.400 of this mysterious entity.

You know, it's been a while, and Vance 19 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.079 and I had an hour long production meeting before the show, so we're already, 20 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.000 yeah, a little geared up. Uh for tonight, Vancy. We 21 00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:15.360 did order what was a case of fifteen w D forty's for Baker's chair. 22 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.000 I think, yeah, travel size. I got my own lube. Yeah, 23 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.719 well we could tell you where to put that. We got Henry May 24 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:30.840 joining us in the bottom square there. It's like Hollywood Squares but hex tagonal. 25 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.080 He's how are you doing, Henry? How are you Tony buddy? 26 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.639 It's oh, yeah, right, we did. It's hurricane weather. It's 27 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.759 hurricane Baker. Watch your sign language. We don't know what you're saying the 28 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.280 folks. And that you don't know what you're saying the folks, it could 29 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.159 be bad. Anyhow, guys, we've been busy lately, and uh, 30 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.120 of course this show about Monsterfest two. What a hell of an event. 31 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.439 I mean, I'm still exhausted from that trip. A lot happened. There 32 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.960 was a lot that I mean, between the travel and the fund that Bacon 33 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.639 I had, we only got to do one fifteen minute live stream. We 34 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.840 got to do the live panel, which is now available as of today for 35 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.800 our Patreon listeners, and in a month we'll put that out there for everyone 36 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.039 else. Give our patreons an exclusivity to that for just a little bit, 37 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.319 because they paid for you know, some of them as little as two dollars 38 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.680 a month and some of them much more. But we want to give them 39 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:42.879 the opportunity to enjoy that before it goes out to the masses. But that 40 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.159 was a bitch to put together. Let me tell you. It came to 41 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.360 me in three segments. It came to me unedited, It came to me 42 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.840 in a untypical file format that I had to convert, and I promised patreons 43 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.000 it was going to be on one day and I just Scott it done today. 44 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.599 So a week and a half later, I finally got it uploaded. 45 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.639 It's uploaded in three parts, raw and one part and a final edited. 46 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:14.759 You know what they say, better late than ever. No, No, 47 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.240 of course, we got to say hi to our good buddy Scott, who 48 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.560 is our latest Patreon Scott. We thank you for your support. And my 49 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.480 god, we've seen Scott at so many conferences this year. He's become one 50 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.560 of the crew. We love Scott and we thank him for his support, 51 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.000 and we thank him for just, you know, really being a good friend 52 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.759 to us here at Sasquatch Experience and being a friend on the road. And 53 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:44.120 of course our friend Mike, an tactical Mike who did a great presentation workshop 54 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.639 at Monsterfest two. And of course just another guy that's a hell of a 55 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:54.519 lot of fun to be around and a good conference traveling partner as well. 56 00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.079 Go ahead, one hell of a bar conversationalist, how about it, you 57 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.279 know. And you know, that's the thing about these conferences, guys, 58 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:08.199 so much happens at the bar. It's not an alcohol induced rob that's not 59 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:13.879 what we're saying. But there's an awful lot to the conversation, and we 60 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.439 have some really good, really good conversation, and you know, there's people 61 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.639 that go to the hotel. There was a guy that we were talking to 62 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:26.839 with, Jeremiah from Bigfoot Society, we were talking with I think maybe Scott 63 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.439 was in the conversation, but Mike was part of the conversation and then I 64 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.519 managed Larry Baxter and I managed to walk our way over and have a conversation 65 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.959 with this guy that he just came up because he needed something to do, 66 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.319 and he sat down at the table and just start asking his questions like why 67 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.519 do you guys do this? Like what got you involved? I mean there 68 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.000 are some people that are into this, but why do you guys do this? 69 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:54.319 Put so much into it? And that kind of set the temperature for 70 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.600 the weekend. I think, don't you bake because what I found interesting and 71 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.040 I'll give you a moment to talk about this. This is the first conference 72 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.639 we had in a long time where we didn't have people wanting to come up 73 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.160 and share their story with us. They came up to talk about us. 74 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.639 Yeah, they were aware that we existed, which was weird because like, 75 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.120 no, I mean, like right, I know that we're not like like 76 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.600 what's the words, I'm looking for reality TV stars and that, But I 77 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.360 mean like a lot of the people that go to the conference, like I 78 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.879 ran into Lyle Blackburn, I ran into Ken Gerhart and they were like, 79 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:31.519 oh, hey, how's it go on, Baker, And I'm like, 80 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.639 you know who I am? You know, like I know, I know 81 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.600 you guys because we like wave and shit. But like they knew who I 82 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.600 was and they were like, I haven't seen you in a while. It's 83 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.920 been since blah blah blah conference, you know. And then you know, 84 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.399 we have conversations about little things like you know, how's it going. I 85 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.560 know, you know, how's your book going? Things like that and stuff 86 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.000 like that. But like a lot of the one thing I like about the 87 00:06:55.079 --> 00:07:02.839 conferences are is that everybody is approaching if you're doing it correctly, you know, 88 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.199 you know what I mean. The difference between barging in while somebody's talking 89 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:12.360 and you just sit down and there three there are three stools over and they 90 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.120 wave and they know who you are. They they don't mind you joined into 91 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:20.639 the conversation, you know. But like we had, I had some really 92 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.079 good conversations the day before of it. After it, we stayed two extra 93 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.120 days because we just need that wind down day, you know. And it 94 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.839 was always we'd get down to the lobby and run into somebody and thirty minutes 95 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:39.439 would go by and you wouldn't notice, you know, right, And you 96 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.839 know, I think this year more than ever, we needed the the wind 97 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.680 down day. There was a lot going on, a tremendous vendors venue, 98 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:53.720 lots of new vendors, new folks. We got to meet our friends from 99 00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:01.079 Miles Mysteries and Menus. They were great. Hope you guys follow us all 100 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.800 on social media because we did post some fun pictures. Baker's got a ton 101 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.720 of pictures and videos that he took from the event. But these folks they 102 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.199 go around and they go check out paranormal destinations and they try to find a 103 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.879 local food place to also talk about and discuss. And I said, well, 104 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.519 you know, funny, we kind of do the same thing for our 105 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.480 patreons. Matt and I have big rubbin that when we go out and do 106 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.319 our research or we go out on these travels, we also talk about a 107 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.279 place that we go and we eat, and we like these off to beat 108 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.240 places. They're not chain restaurants, these mom and pop, you know, 109 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.600 good places you can go. And so we introduced them as to George's, 110 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:48.480 Georgie's Lounge and downtown Canton, Ohio where you can really get one of the 111 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.279 best burgers on a you know. And when you guys shared that with me, 112 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.919 because unfortunately I was unable to participate and Sean, you said to me, 113 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.720 we're going to go get this pub burger. I'm like, I'm going 114 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.399 to spend the next three hours in my home to make the best pub burger 115 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.799 I can possibly make. And then when you guys are eating your pub burgers, 116 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.639 I was eating mine. Probably not nearly as good as what you guys 117 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.039 had, but it was pretty delicious, I'll give you that. Well, 118 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:28.240 it's and George's lunch is weird because outside it's like art everywhere, but inside 119 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.720 it's like that whole in the wall place that you almost feel you're going to 120 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.639 get bad bar foodw It looks like a vfw R. It's like we're close 121 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:43.320 to the stage. We needed a large we needed a larger booth slash table, 122 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.840 not for food, but for us, for you know, right, 123 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.480 you know. And it was one of those situations that it's a great place 124 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.879 to go in, but if you if you walked in and didn't know the 125 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.080 quality of the food, you'd be like, we're going to get the water 126 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.480 and then we'll leave it. Okay, you know, all right? Yeah, 127 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.519 Georgia, Hey Matt, there is our friend. Welcome buddy, Matt. 128 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:15.639 We're talking about George's lounge right now, because that's the most important thing 129 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:24.200 about Sad Squatch is George's lounge. Your Yeah, you know, I mean, 130 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.759 I do my research so, uh you know, I'll go through trip 131 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:35.840 Advisor, I go through Facebook, I'll Google reviews everything, and it's like 132 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.679 on the outside, it's a little hole in the wall. And uh, 133 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:43.399 you know, remember the first time we went there, we had the chain 134 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:54.600 smoking waitress. You know, the chips is what's out about the chips? 135 00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:01.399 Yes? So uh so anyways, I figured this is a place to check 136 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.080 out, and I'm glad we did. Right. We were talking about our 137 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.879 friends from Miles, menus and mysteries that were right across the hall from us 138 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.919 there in the vendor room. And great people Lexi and I can't think of 139 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.840 her is her husband or partner's name? Ben, I don't. I hope 140 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:30.919 I got his name right, I remember Lexi anyhow, uh and just great 141 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.720 people, so many people we met. Matt. You were interviewed briefly for 142 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:41.879 another podcast while we were there. I was, I was, I have 143 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.200 the name of the podcast in my book. I don't have it with me. 144 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.480 It's like it was a fantastic group of people, and I told about 145 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.240 my experience in the el Yan National Forest, which is funny because they pull 146 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.440 us both both in and they want to hear our experiences in this The first 147 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.120 time, I just set back and let Matt do everything and I'm like, 148 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.879 check us out. That's watch experience. I got to do nothing. It 149 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.799 was wonderful. Then a really cool display too, like they had a little 150 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.000 diner set up with an alien and he got a little weird near the end 151 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.080 with the alien. I think he needed an adult. But that was, 152 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.759 you know, the other thing. And but a lot of these just I'll 153 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.240 tell you what if you if you go to a lot of these events, 154 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.799 it's the it's the atmosphere and the people selling stuff, and it's not always 155 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.240 buying things. Just look at some of the art that comes out of there. 156 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.279 Like every year I buy a postcard from and I send it to my 157 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.960 family from the hotel, and it's always neat to see it come back to 158 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.080 me. And the guy that does it, he's always got He's got like 159 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:58.679 a little Ranger Ranger uniform dust designs yea, and he makes such cool things 160 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:05.840 and like an animation more style than a realistic style. I have. I'd 161 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.799 probably say I have like ten twelve postcards at this point, I'm slowly adding 162 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:16.600 stickers to my fridge. Yeah, I mean so, I mean, you 163 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.440 know, the traveling part of it's, you know, Baker sending himself chochkeys 164 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:26.519 and no booze. You can't ship that. But you know, just the 165 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.039 overall event, getting to meet and hang out with Alex and Eli in person, 166 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.480 of course, is always a great experience. We got to meet Tyler 167 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.440 Hall, the new member of the Small Town Monsters team this weekend or that 168 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.799 weekend, of course, got to hang out with Seth and Courtney, and 169 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.440 I got to spend a lot of time in the morning as I usually do. 170 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.799 It's kind of almost a traditional Monster Fest catch up with Mark Madskin and 171 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.159 I where we get to sit stand there and you know, shoot the shit 172 00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:00.480 for about an hour and a half two hours and we have had a great 173 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.519 conversation. And we got to get Mark back on the program. He was 174 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.360 just up in Prince Edward Island. Uh. You know, he and his 175 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.000 wife Sue have been traveling around. You know, we're both getting to be 176 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.399 in that empty nester stage in life, so we had a lot to talk 177 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.799 about and catch up on. But they don't make I think, a more 178 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:31.879 well rounded, uh philosophical presenter, right right, Yeah, I would agree, 179 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:39.960 consider even their son, uh and yeah, yeah, Andy and Mark 180 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.919 both those guys. I don't know. I can't say enough about them, 181 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:50.240 but if you really want to have a perspective about the whole subject, just 182 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:56.799 listen to some of the stuff that they talk about. And it's it'll bring 183 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:03.240 a new perspective and a new light on the whole subject matter of sasquatchery that 184 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:11.000 I greatly appreciate. And wow, there's there's three great people right there that 185 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.240 you could you know, listen to. And you know, like I said, 186 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:24.240 Mark will give his analogy and I think his analogy is very heartfelt and 187 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.600 it's something that you need to take into heart yourself in order to understand a 188 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:35.440 little bit more about the whole subject matter. Yeah, and integral to small 189 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:41.240 town Monsters, you know, they've been there from the beginning, Mark and 190 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:46.799 Mark and Andy's it feels it would feel not right in my opinion, to 191 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:52.200 be there without them, like at least they definitely need to be there same, 192 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.759 you know, the whole small Town Monster's crew. I've come to know 193 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.679 them, you know, understanding they're coming up on ten years and Mark and 194 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:06.120 I had a great conversation about that. But in the overall, you know 195 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:11.399 length of time, I've been there with them when they started Minerva, you 196 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.320 know, and helping to sell you know, just because you guys know me. 197 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.639 I love my friends and I will do whatever I can for them, 198 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.360 hawking their merchandise at their table and need to run to the bathroom or you 199 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.679 know, you put forker Baker at your merch table. Shit sells. We 200 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:27.679 can't sell our own stuff, but we can sell everybody else's. I don't 201 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:33.879 know everybody because we love it. It's it's a personal thing, you know. 202 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.480 We support our friends and of course, hey, look you joined into 203 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:45.840 the chat tonight. JR. Core are number one super fan. JR Is 204 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.000 only one that's going to have that official title. We all vote on weekend. 205 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:55.720 Uh yeah, we appreciate her. She was a great, uh motivational 206 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.240 force for us over the weekend. And again, like I said, I 207 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.879 don't know what happened. I kind of felt like we were all hit by 208 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.240 an energy vampire because we were going and going and going, and then it 209 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.599 was exhaustion, like it was a baker, Matt. Was it not a 210 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:14.960 day's work. It was work, Yeah, it was I mean, uh 211 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.599 and then with me, I had that drive home after. I mean, 212 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:29.680 you know, I didn't even want to all right. We had so many 213 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:34.920 good memories from Saturday, and I think that was the whole thing was you 214 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:44.079 know, it was positive and you know between Friday and Saturday. So uh, 215 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.240 you know, like I said that that does take uh, you know, 216 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:57.400 the good with does take your in. He's not my uncle's not paid 217 00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:06.880 for that opinion, by the way. Yeah, sure, okay, and 218 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.240 the weekend was too short. But Matt, the great takeaway for me from 219 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:18.480 this event as I had you, Mike and Larry Baxter. So we have 220 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.960 this new group called Forker and the Squatch Cops. It sounds like a great 221 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:27.799 movie, but we literally had the three you know, active law enforcement gentlemen 222 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.200 there, and you know, it really had a great time for me. 223 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.160 It's a pleasure to be around to three of them when they're together, because 224 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.440 one, I love seeing them empathize and work with each other through things. 225 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.759 But me, I get to absorb it all. I get to take it 226 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:47.960 in. And my journey has been about learning how to do things better and 227 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:53.160 be more forensic and evidential collecting and I learned so much from Mike and Matt 228 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:57.119 and Larry it's just unreal. So I'm thankful to be able to be a 229 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:03.839 tag along on that group of three really professional gentlemen. Yeah, and I'm 230 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.680 grateful that, you know, you keep your mouth shut about all the nefarious 231 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:17.960 things I've done so that they don't come after me. Martin Groves was there 232 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.440 too, but we didn't get to interact with Martin besides a brief hello, 233 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:25.039 Matt and I really didn't get to see Martin Grobs. Nice gentleman, very 234 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.519 very kind man. Uh. And again, Jeremiah, we got to hang 235 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.920 out with Jeremiah from Bigfoot Society. Go check him out. He's always I 236 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:37.559 was just about to say, because, like I said, I came in 237 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:42.039 a little late. But yeah, Jeremiah, man, you know that guy 238 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:49.240 was everywhere, and like I said, just such a great person to talk 239 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:56.680 to. You know, just he amasses all this you know, all these 240 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:02.240 reports, all this infiration gets it out as podcast. But you know, 241 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.039 like I said, just an awesome, awesome guy. And uh, we 242 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:11.519 appreciate him hanging out with us, right, got the go ahead, Bakeer, 243 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.359 Larry Beans Baxter. I learned a lot of random stuff about Alaska. 244 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:22.000 No, you know, Baker has a paunch off for asking like random questions, 245 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.200 and uh that's what makes him, you know, a great integral part 246 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.200 of the team. And sometimes he just you know, we'll say what's on 247 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.640 his mind and you know, ask a thought there and it leads to some 248 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:38.400 great conversation. Yes, yes, another one. Amy Boo and the Project 249 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:47.200 Zoo Book people, we got to hang out with Monica and uh, Monica, 250 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:52.839 Mona and Amy great ladies. Love hanging out with them. Uh you 251 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:59.799 know Amy again. I I don't think we ever talk enough about the contributions 252 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.039 that women make in this research. And she's out there doing some phenomenal work, 253 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:11.799 boots on the ground, great educational presentation to these you know establishments, 254 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:17.920 putting together Project Zoo Book, really giving it a real scientific accreditation, you 255 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.119 know, and just a sweet lady. And of course you know she she 256 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.559 lost a couple of teeth because of some you know, things she had experienced 257 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:30.240 with her battle with medical issues. She was in great spirits about it, 258 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:36.480 like she made me laugh my ass off. She lost her tooth and she 259 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.039 was telling you, she's like you should see the other guy, you know 260 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:41.559 like that. Yeah, but you know what, Amy's going to be back 261 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.799 on the show again, so oh absolutely we'll catch up with her. Well. 262 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.119 I think if anything, Matt, I don't want to speak for you, 263 00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.960 but I'll throw it to you, like it really reaffirms Matt and I's 264 00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:00.279 commitment to doing the field work and being present and being boots on the ground 265 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.279 and people. I think that was one of the big takeaways that Matt and 266 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.240 I left folks with. And maybe it's because Matt put together this great little 267 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.119 poster behind me which was on my wall. Now it fell on the floor. 268 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:18.720 Mat, I gotta fix that. But I am but is that we 269 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.799 do boots on the ground research. You know, we're just not commentators. 270 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.920 We get out there and do the investigating in the research. And folks left 271 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:32.079 again Matt with that understanding. Yeah. And the one thing I tried to 272 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.240 you know, really kind of emphasize when we talk to people was like, 273 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.359 we have such a nice, you know, blend of you know, people 274 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:47.119 that contribute, you know, in you know, not just with this podcast, 275 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:52.279 but with collectively also you know, we do have you know, again, 276 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.880 the two of us do white to go out in the field. You 277 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:02.240 know, James is a skeptic. You know, Henry is that encyclopedia Vance 278 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:07.839 has that Midwestern you know, uh look at things. So and that's the 279 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.680 one thing you know that we tried to put out as well when we were 280 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:18.079 having new people come to the table, because we had people that never heard 281 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.799 our podcast before. And I said, listen, I said, we have 282 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.680 this. You know, it's collectively a group and we all contribute in in 283 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:33.200 in our different ways. And you know, like I said, my I 284 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.440 still have a video that I want to that I want to get, you 285 00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:41.160 know, put out for the Patreon. But I am technologically not very savvy, 286 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.119 so uh you know, so I'm still kind of like you know, 287 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.119 hanging. I got to get that, get that out. But then you 288 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.640 know, like you were the brains with the with the technology. Uh, 289 00:23:52.279 --> 00:24:00.279 like I said, James offers just the most you know, I I guess, 290 00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:07.720 the most interesting viewpoint. Yeah, you know, and like I said, 291 00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:15.039 you know, we all contribute in ol boy, we all contribute in 292 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:22.759 certain ways. So you know, I particularly like nature, so and I 293 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.480 try to keep up on you know, the science and of things, particularly 294 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:33.039 when it comes to like, you know, the Appalachian woodlands. So I 295 00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.319 do try to be that you know person that I can look at the tracks 296 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.799 and you know, and say, okay, this is this is what we 297 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.279 have. You know, uh, this is going to be you know, 298 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.680 a raccoon, this is going to be a bear tract that's in lady, 299 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.319 you know, looking at the different pathways for tracking and such, trying to 300 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.400 look at food sources. That's where you know, I kind of fall into. 301 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.480 But like I said, with Sean, Sean had is that you know, 302 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.319 he's out in the field, but he also has that aptitude for the 303 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:08.000 technology as well. So, like I said, we blend very very well 304 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:15.440 and and we gotta get vans out here. You know, I'll be out 305 00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.119 there. Oh I'll be out there. Brother, don't believe me. I'll 306 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:23.359 be out there. Isn't it probably Isn't that that out of a dry for 307 00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:29.640 you? So no, it's not. And to be completely honest with you, 308 00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:33.400 Matt, when I was seeing pictures that Sean was sending back from the 309 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.480 Monsterfest, I went through an entire box of tissues, wiping the tears from 310 00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:42.599 my eyes, going I want to be there with you, guys. I 311 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:47.880 want to be there. It'll happen, you know, it will definitely happen. 312 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.519 I hope some of our friends that has spent time with Baker understood that 313 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:59.319 little subtle Baker moment that just happened. That was a work of art right 314 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:03.759 there, subtle And if you didn't, folks, you got to watch the 315 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:08.759 live stream over again, and just around that twenty sixth, twenty seven mark, 316 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:15.799 that little subtle Baker moment that just makes life worth living. But again, 317 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:18.279 you know, first and foremost, I think we have to thank Courtney 318 00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.160 from small Town Monsters for really working her ass off and putting this event together. 319 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.400 The volunteers who helped make it happen. It was a lot of work, 320 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:32.400 and Courtney really, I think was ready to have exhaustion. We bitched 321 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:37.559 about being tired. I can only imagine how you know, tired she had 322 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.640 to have been through all this, you know, our just so much work 323 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:48.359 went into this amazing event. And every time I leave, I'm sad, 324 00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:53.240 like leaving behind Canton on Monday mornings. Yeah, that's how it is, 325 00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:59.319 because you don't get to have that, you know, that coming together, 326 00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:03.839 the conferences all around all year, and I mean you know, in fact, 327 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.319 more and more of them we're popping up, is you know, all 328 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.400 over I'm sorry, if you pay twenty dollars to go listen to the same 329 00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.720 Force speakers. It's not a conference as a cult, all right, So, 330 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:18.960 but there are actual conferences that go around and happen and happen, and 331 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:25.000 when you go to these events, the thing I appreciate the most is that 332 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.000 kind of like OBC, but at least in Canton, there's more to do. 333 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.319 You're in the hotel, the guests are at the hotel, the speakers 334 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.680 are at the hotel, there's mingling, there's socializing, and then you can 335 00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.480 go transcend that and go into town and have a nice meal. You really 336 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.920 get to build friendships and relationships. And you know, I feel that's one 337 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.480 of the things we took away Matt with you know, both Mike and de 338 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:56.559 Larry was being able to really grow, you know, much stronger brotherhood and 339 00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.920 then it really is a family. And of course, you know, you 340 00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.319 know, I, you know, Seth and Crue, they have a special 341 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.480 place in my heart. I love these guys. I've got to watch them 342 00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:10.880 grow and yeah, how about it, right, It's it's been a great 343 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:14.759 growth story and you know they're coming up on ten years. We have to 344 00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:23.200 really analyze this and think that they're really responsible for the continuation and interest into 345 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:29.400 the cryptozoological and paranormal. Sure, and I think it all started with Whitehall, 346 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:36.000 No Minervava, I'm sorry, Yeah, I started with Minervam and my 347 00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:41.640 favorite movies. Yeah, well those were those are my favorite to bake. 348 00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:47.839 We're just laughing at Mike and Scott on Sundays. Nobody's there on Sundays. 349 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.680 Bake and I are there on Sunday. We're worth the price of admission to 350 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:59.440 hang out on Sunday. Yeah. But I've watched this group grow and change 351 00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:07.640 and more and singularly may be responsible for this continuance of interest in the paranormal 352 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.440 and cryptozoological that we enjoy. This is an Ebb and flow business, right. 353 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:15.519 This is thirty years of this research for me and interest, right, 354 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.400 thirty years and I've watched it high and I've watched it low, and I've 355 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:26.759 watched it ebb and flow. And this has been the longest continual run of 356 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:33.599 interest. It's no, no, no, terrible. And you think about 357 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:38.599 that when we got into this, or when we were kids, we had 358 00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:41.920 a couple episodes of Unsolved Mysteries, we had a couple episodes of in Search 359 00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:47.960 of We had, you know, a documentary or two in the two thousands, 360 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:53.039 but we had nothing consistent until you know, Monster Quest came along. 361 00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.880 Then Finding Bigfoot, and that was great for you know, you know, 362 00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:02.640 the one offs and the Bigfoot. But Small Town Monsters has said it all 363 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.559 and they've kept it going now for ten years. It's twenty fourteen. I 364 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:10.279 really think they've helped keep the interest and there's been a lot of trying to 365 00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:15.079 I feel replicated on a higher end TV scale level that abysmally fails because they 366 00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.480 lack vision and they lack heart, all right, and those are things that 367 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.839 you get from our friends at Small Town Monsters. Vision and heart and guys, 368 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.960 I'm eligible. If you need to hire me for any kind of sales 369 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:32.559 pitch, I'll do it. Yes he is, Yes he is shamelessly self 370 00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:38.240 promotion. But we got to do our live broadcast which will be available. 371 00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:41.839 It is available to patreads as of today. What a great show. I 372 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:48.400 thought it was something different that we did. We talked, we went through 373 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:53.119 the narrative of the cow Man of Capola's Beach, taking some time to break 374 00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:02.000 where we got to sit and talk about different and evidence trends and different behavioral 375 00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:04.400 trends, and I think the audience was really into that. And we actually 376 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:11.279 have to think Brian Seech too for really being kind of our substitute Henry May 377 00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:15.720 in the back of the room. We could refer he did like another man 378 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.000 with amazing recall. We were able to probe at at Brian when we had 379 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.160 a question and he was able to throw back to us. So it's really 380 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.680 made that special, right, you know what though. The other thing too 381 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:34.200 was having Larry on on our panel because of the fact that there was experiences 382 00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:41.440 that he was able to describe to us from Area A that were similar to 383 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:48.759 what was going on or or what did or didn't happen at uh, you 384 00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:55.000 know, with the with that particular incident. So having that perspective was that 385 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.480 was awesome, all right, And I got to talk to Mark a little 386 00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:01.720 bit about that in the morning. It was also there at that at that 387 00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:07.119 area, so it was also great to get a little bit more context on 388 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:12.759 that place. And if you take the time to listen, you know, 389 00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:19.400 Booker makes a really good point on how to let's get the story yourself and 390 00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.519 some of the key players. So if you want to do the research yourself, 391 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.799 you have the pieces, you know, So not just go by one 392 00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.240 thing. I've always said, don't always go by what the popular opinion is. 393 00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:35.039 Make sure you, you know, dive into what you want to learn 394 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:37.880 about, you know, because if you're the only one in the cult that 395 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:44.039 knows that doesn't know Latin, you're probably the guy getting knife. All right, 396 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:45.079 Well, and on that note, we're going to take a break for 397 00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:50.000 our news segment and we come back, we'll dive into this a little bit 398 00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:55.440 more. Yeah, so how about that carpe dim We'll be right back. 399 00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:09.160 Seize the carpet. Redneck type like he was at my bird feeder, I 400 00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:15.039 said, get Bigfoot. He shows up about twice a week, messed with 401 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:19.119 my feeters because I put peanut butter out with that bird seed. He's out 402 00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.759 there licking on him. He likes smooth, not chunky. It hurts his 403 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:28.200 gums. They've never found one bigfoot, but they know what kind of peanut 404 00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:35.119 butter Bigfoot likes. M peanut butter. I'm actually in the mood for peanut 405 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:38.000 butter. Now. It does go good with the redneck rivi era. You 406 00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:42.640 know, you just smear a little bit around the rim and the glass, 407 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:47.359 kind of like salt to a margarita, and I shall name it the Bunghole 408 00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.319 Whiskey. It'll be a new drink. I know it's a family show. 409 00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:58.680 I get it anyway. Happy Monday Night to everybody. I'm glad everyone is 410 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.279 so far that I know of, has all their digits after this pass forth 411 00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:07.480 of July fireworks, big bang. But we're here to talk about Bigfoot on 412 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:14.039 the Bigfoot bullorn right here on the Sasquatch experience. And there was earlier this 413 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:20.400 year in April, a flurry of activity that gripped Richmond County, North Carolina, 414 00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:28.280 as reports emerge of a dramatic nighttime operation involving low flying aircraft tracking a 415 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:36.280 suspected Bigfoot sighting in the remote forest regions. Eyewitnesses report seeing a convoy of 416 00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:40.480 military style aircraft swooping low over the tree tops in the dead of night. 417 00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:47.880 Both thermal imaging and searchlights have allegedly been used to scour the rugged terrain for 418 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:55.320 signs of the elusive creature. Speculation runs rampant as residents exchange theories about the 419 00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:01.960 purpose of the operation and the possible connection to recent Bigfoot sightings in the area. 420 00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:07.119 I couldn't believe my eyes, exclaimed one resident who witnessed the spectacle from 421 00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:12.679 his backyard. It was like something out of a movie. These aircraft are 422 00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:16.719 flying so low it felt like they were practically brushing the tops of the trees. 423 00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:24.119 Now there is speculation that recent control burns in the sand Hills game Lands 424 00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:30.800 have been conducted to help flush Bigfoot from the deep woods. Local authorities remained 425 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:37.559 tight lipped about the nature of the operation, fueling rumors and speculation across the 426 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:43.719 community. However, sources close to the investigation hint at a coordinated effort by 427 00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:52.239 multiple agencies to investigate the reported Bigfoot sightings and gather evidence to confirm the existence 428 00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:58.440 of the legendary creature. Night skies still remain ablaze with the glow of searchlights 429 00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:02.440 and the hum of air craft engines echoing through the forest. The hunt for 430 00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:07.960 Bigfoot in Richmond County, North Carolina has taken on an intensity and urgency, 431 00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:15.239 and has certainly captured the imagination of the entire region. When we come back, 432 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:22.880 we'll try to remember a time in September when grass was green and green 433 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:30.760 was yellow.

He's also got another pro wrestling podcast called Somewhere in the 460 00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.880 Ring. Ryan and I had a great chance to talk and catch up like 461 00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:59.960 we've known each other for years, but this is the first time we got 462 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.599 to be together in the same place at the same time, and he asked 463 00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:08.639 me to be a part of the speaker lineup for his conference at the beginning 464 00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:13.599 of September, which is virtual, and I think I'm going to take them 465 00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:15.280 up on that offer. What will I talk about? I have no clue. 466 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:21.079 I'll figure it out as we get closer. Airy armpits right, you 467 00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:24.880 know, Well that's it.

I should really look into these things before I 473 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:55.760 just start saying them out loud. But you know, I just want to 474 00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.960 say something about the Central PA and then I have another another one about UH 475 00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:08.960 about the Benner Springs UH camp out, but the Central PA Bigfoot UH Expo 476 00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:16.679 that is literally like two miles away from Cannoble's Grove.

The train's the best because 487 00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:14.079 they take you out past the campground. They put the little corn feeders up 488 00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.960 there for the deer and the squirrels. But anyways, I digress. Uh 489 00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:27.440 going back to uh Eric Aleman.

I believe that they're calling it the Bedford cast now, 492 00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:42.960 is that they finally named him. I think I think they're naming it, 493 00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:45.400 and I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I thought it was the 494 00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:52.480 Bedford cast. But uh, he was out there with that and we got 495 00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:57.599 to spend some time with him, and uh that was fantastic. I mean, 496 00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:01.840 he is uh you know, he is just such a great mentor h 497 00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:07.639 for a lot of us, not just in Pennsylvania but throughout the country. 498 00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:14.760 And and if you get a chance to, if you have some time in 499 00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:17.320 September to come out to that camping adventure, I think that would be a 500 00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:22.719 great event to go out too. I'll be out there at least one of 501 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:29.400 those days for the Bigfoot Camping Adventure. I will be at the Central PA 502 00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.159 Bigfoot Festival. I'll I think, matter are you going to those as well? 503 00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:37.039 I jumping out right, yeah, I'm definitely going to the Bigfoot the 504 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:45.639 Central PA Benner Springs. Unfortunately, I have something right now that's scheduled, 505 00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:52.000 but I'm trying to kind of yeah, yeah, make it work, is 506 00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.840 what he's trying to do. It's a Saturday. I should be well. 507 00:43:55.840 --> 00:44:00.840 I think it's a good time. I was at the last one that they 508 00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:04.880 had. It was me and the late, but Kwakowski went out and represented 509 00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:07.920 Arcane Radio, the show we were running at the time, and had a 510 00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:14.920 wonderful time with everybody again there Again, these events become so much more than 511 00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:19.239 just a place to share and sell things. It's a place to gather and 512 00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:24.559 be together and learn from one another and grow yourself as a researcher and your 513 00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:32.599 network. When you were talking about the conferences too, you know, saying, 514 00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:37.480 you see the same four, you know, maybe six speakers at you 515 00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:45.760 know, all these different conferences Monsterfest. What they didn't have was you know, 516 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:49.079 people going up there, you know, you know, each person going 517 00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:52.840 up there and doing their speech or their speel. What you had instead at 518 00:44:52.920 --> 00:45:00.679 Monsterfest was you had someone like Mike Ann or you had somebody to Amy do 519 00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:08.519 yes doing workshops, and that in itself, if there was conferences out there, 520 00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.519 yeah, oh my god. Yeah. And and then you know, 521 00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:20.280 being able to sit in the in the in the crowd and ask questions of 522 00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:23.800 Mike or ask questions of Amy and have them show you how to how to 523 00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:29.960 Amy did the casting of footprints, you know, being able to see that 524 00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:35.800 and now you're taking something away from that conference or you know from that from 525 00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:39.079 that event that you can use in the field, you know, as opposed 526 00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:45.519 to somebody just you know, talking about their experiences and being on TV. 527 00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:47.719 You know. So I mean, you know, like I said, the 528 00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:55.119 Mic and Amy, you know, programs were fantastic. And then and then 529 00:45:55.199 --> 00:46:00.920 on the other hand, you had the podcast room where where we did ours, 530 00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:06.280 and there was a lot of podcasts that I'm not aware of. I'm 531 00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:08.079 not that much of a podcast person other than us, you know, and 532 00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:14.239 it really opened my eyes and I added a few more now to the collections. 533 00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:21.079 So kudos to the STM crew for that. Yeah, they really died 534 00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:22.679 everybody's strengths, and I think that's a good thing. You pointed out, 535 00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:28.039 it wasn't just listening to lectures, it was being part of an experience and 536 00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:30.559 really playing to the strengths of the people that were invited to be a part 537 00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:35.039 of it. We weren't speaking on anything. We were doing a live podcasts. 538 00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:38.719 You know, you had people doing what they were good at, entertaining 539 00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:43.480 people in unique ways, and that itself was worth the price of admission. 540 00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:50.400 And you know, again, great kudos to the organizers for that piece. 541 00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:52.800 Baker, you're going to say something, go ahead. We had a nice 542 00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:58.960 interview with Seth himself during the weekend, and we had a lot of nice 543 00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:02.639 conversations with a lot of the speakers and even the vendors. And I'll tell 544 00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:07.920 you what a lot of times these vendors go to so many other places we 545 00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:10.840 can and the nice thing is kind of nice that like once a month or 546 00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:14.599 once over a couple of months, we'll get to compare notes. You know, 547 00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:16.199 how was this festival? What'd you get there? Who was there? 548 00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:20.599 Things like that. So, I mean a lot of times when these festivals 549 00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:23.000 you get going on a regular basis, you get to know people and you 550 00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:32.360 pick up so much more information, you know, agreed, agreed. Will 551 00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:35.320 there be a next one? I don't know. People have asked. I 552 00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:37.039 think all of us that were in attendance are sure, hope there is. 553 00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:43.760 We really want there to be another one. It was just a spectacular event 554 00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:51.400 and words just escape me for the you know, the entire eclipsing, the 555 00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:53.719 eclipse of the entire experience, it was just so hard to you know, 556 00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:58.400 I just left with sadness that it was over. Really, it was its 557 00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:06.440 disappointing considering over, you know, the Monsterfest one came back to Monster Fest 558 00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:13.800 two. Why because of popular demand, and I think you know number three 559 00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:20.880 will probably come back by here. It is popular demand. Well it it 560 00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:22.559 can also kill people. So like it's a lot to put together, you 561 00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:25.599 really bust your ass. No, I get it put together, and there'll 562 00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:30.239 be enough people that'll say, man, I really enjoyed that. I learned 563 00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:37.079 a lot, and it's I think it'll probably come back by popular demand. 564 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:40.079 Here. Well, here's to hope. And you know, one of the 565 00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:45.239 other things we didn't talk about, as you know, mister Breedlove was there 566 00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:52.400 Seth's dad, Ronnie, mister bu talking about their family history, which you 567 00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:57.679 can go if you go to the Smoking Mountain Bigfoot conference here. And the 568 00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:01.760 next I guess is it next this weekend or next weekend? I think it's 569 00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:05.639 the end of the end of July. Is it the end of July. 570 00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:12.159 It's one of these weekends anyhow they're promoting they're gonna be the debut of On 571 00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:16.760 the Trail Bigfoot the Ancients, which is kind of a labor of love for 572 00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:22.920 Seth. It's his longest movie he's done so far and really gets personal because 573 00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:25.320 it's also as much about his family story as it is about the subject and 574 00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:30.119 how it intertwines. And they had mister b there, you know, handing 575 00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:37.039 out pamphlets talking about it, and you know, I can't wait to see 576 00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:39.159 the documentary myself. I can't wait to see it put together here. You 577 00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:44.679 know, mister Bee's just a great guy. You just being around him puts 578 00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:49.880 a smile on your face, always a positive person, wants to shake your 579 00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:52.440 hand, you know, offering a word or two, a kindness, and 580 00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:58.480 it was just great to see him there working that table with his grandsons, 581 00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:02.679 his family, and that element Ga diorama they had put together. You know, 582 00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:06.480 I'm excited to see the fruits of the labor for that. I want 583 00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:09.559 to see the Ancients. I'm waited for bated breath. Hopefully I get a 584 00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:17.440 wink a preview copy so I can get it out there. There's just so 585 00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:22.159 much to talk about. Our friends, the far Georgio's were there. Am 586 00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:24.119 I missing anybody else? We really didn't get that to We talked, Oh 587 00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:31.000 you have the hell did I not? For the first time. You know, 588 00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:37.280 Paul Bartholomele. I've known Paul from you know, online for twenty years 589 00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:42.199 or more, and this was the first time we got together to shake hands 590 00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:46.199 and to have a conversation, to take a photo. You know you don't 591 00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:50.679 take for granted folks. You know this is this is gonna sound a little 592 00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:53.000 morbid in the moment, but you know, the folks that have been around 593 00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:57.480 in this field for some time aren't going to be around forever. And if 594 00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:00.000 you've built a relationship with somebody, make it to an event, Introduce yourself, 595 00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:04.599 talk, get to build that relationship and make it better because the only 596 00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:07.679 things you regret are the opportunities you don't take. And make sure you do. 597 00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:10.360 I found Paul to be just a gentleman, a sweetheart of a man, 598 00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:16.320 very you know, cordial. I just I enjoyed my conversations with him. 599 00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:21.719 There's just so many folks that I know we're going to leave somebody out 600 00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:24.440 and it's not intentional. Got to talk with Ken Gerhard and you know, 601 00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:27.400 I said to Ken, how long does it take you to write a book? 602 00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:30.199 He goes, if I'm really on about six months? I was like, 603 00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:32.000 why they're working on one for ten years, so maybe you can, 604 00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:37.519 you know, send some info my way. Oh and Jason Hewlett from the 605 00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:44.119 Oga Pogo book, you know, the Cursed Waters. I got to meet 606 00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:46.800 him and talk to him. Another sweetheart of a gentleman. And I'm looking 607 00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:52.679 forward to building these relationships and talking with him more. Get out there, 608 00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:57.840 folks, start absorbing this material. You're not going to regret. How about 609 00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:02.360 Keating, Well, you know the big football dog himself was right next door. 610 00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.519 Don was an attraction and he was a busy man. M h you 611 00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:19.880 know Don is one of a kind. How about it, mister breed love 612 00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:22.559 was just the best. Scott. We agree. You can't gotta love mister 613 00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:29.039 b Oh. You know what one thing that we forgot about, and it 614 00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:37.639 was James James thing. So you mentioned ken Gerhart and who but Lyle Blackbird 615 00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:49.239 room in the same room. Hat. So James, please tell us of 616 00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:53.039 that. I don't know if honor is the best word. But I had 617 00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:58.920 my little I had my hat and it was it was my special needs ken 618 00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:06.800 gearhard hat. It was not it was not. It was not a quality 619 00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:10.800 of hats they have. I'm sure that their hats. Mine was. I 620 00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:15.519 got it from the Dollar General. Mine was. You know, it's a 621 00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:22.639 floppy hat, a floppy bucket hat. But it keeps it keeps my head 622 00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:27.519 from burning, you know, And may take with me. We were inside 623 00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:35.119 all weekend though there was no sun inside. It doesn't matter. Incandescent bulbs 624 00:53:35.159 --> 00:53:39.400 can glow that day. Don't do that, you're going to shine and blind 625 00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:45.760 a light. Well, speaking of a beacon light, it's about that time 626 00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:51.880 to call it for the night. Just yeah, we're winding down. I 627 00:53:51.960 --> 00:53:58.199 wanted to give I wanted to give some opportunity for final thoughts from Baker and 628 00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:00.239 Matt, like I've given mind, just complet sadness that it's over. I 629 00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:04.719 love the event. I can't give enough kudos to it. I can't talk 630 00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:08.320 about it enough, but I uh, I'm just left with still an overwhelming 631 00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:15.800 feeling of sadness. I think everything went smoothly, there were no hiccups. 632 00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:22.960 I unfortunately missed the movie. I know that the movie is coming out soon. 633 00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:32.800 It's more of a water creature og Pogo and I really enjoyed the you 634 00:54:32.920 --> 00:54:37.320 know, South Courtney did their job, but so did everybody else from small 635 00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:39.360 town of Monsters right, and they were very happy about it. I mean, 636 00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:44.360 there wasn't anybody you know, stepping over anybody else. It was very 637 00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:47.400 smooth. We didn't have any issues like we had the year before with with 638 00:54:47.639 --> 00:54:52.320 people who you know, who didn't understand the concept. All to speak, 639 00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:55.719 all the people who spoke were good, and they were nice and ones that 640 00:54:55.840 --> 00:55:01.599 everybody was for none ale afterwards, like you could just come over and have 641 00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:06.519 a conversation with any of them and they would talk to you. That was 642 00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:08.559 part of the reason I loved Sunday the best, was because Sunday was they 643 00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:13.039 were all waiting on their little bus to get back to the airport and they 644 00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:15.840 were just chatting back and forth about variety of topics and did you see this 645 00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:20.039 video? Did you see this video? You know, and a lot of 646 00:55:20.079 --> 00:55:24.000 times like it's little things, you don't you don't. I remember those things 647 00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:30.519 more than I remember the things directly from what the conversations were during the actual 648 00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:38.000 conference, right, the presentations and whatnot. Mm hmm man. Any takeaways 649 00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:44.840 from you, well, I mean probably, I mean, like I said, 650 00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:47.639 you know, uh, with me and Mike and Larry there, Uh, 651 00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:53.000 that was that was fantastic, you know, And I was going through 652 00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:58.079 some rough times recently and you know, so that that was definitely a big 653 00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:04.360 pick me up. But the one thing that I kind of took away from 654 00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:07.599 it is, you know, I love owls from the hotel. No I'm 655 00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:15.159 kidding now, but uh, you know, just my you know, my 656 00:56:15.320 --> 00:56:17.519 need to get back out in the field, you know, like you know, 657 00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:22.119 especially from talking to uh, you know, several other researchers and you 658 00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:28.159 know ideas, uh you know, but really you know the best thing to 659 00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:31.719 do is get those boots on the ground and and get out there in those 660 00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:37.519 woods. So it really uh like when I left there on you know, 661 00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:40.960 on Saturday night, like you know, if I wasn't as tired as I 662 00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:45.199 was, I would have been out Sunday, you know, like out in 663 00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:49.639 the out in our area, you know, just around. But yeah, 664 00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:52.760 it's so you know, when you go to places like that, you get 665 00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:58.039 that end, you know, yeah, your your energy gets out from you 666 00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:01.840 know talk and then and you know getting set up and everything. But it 667 00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:08.159 really revitalizes that energy to go out and do the research and be out in 668 00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:13.840 the woods. And and again a bad day in the woods is better than 669 00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:16.159 a good day at work. So yeah, I agree, how about that. 670 00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:22.000 Yeah, and your your display was really nice and I listened to you 671 00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:24.760 talk to some of the people ask questions, and you were really engaged and 672 00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:29.079 informed on Hey this is what happened here, and this is what we think 673 00:57:29.639 --> 00:57:32.679 and like no matter what they said, you had you had a coherent answer, 674 00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:37.559 but you also had like a well I see where you're coming from, 675 00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:39.159 but what do you think about this? And like the people are listening, 676 00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:50.079 you know, you know, I think having having more like an interactive display 677 00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:54.239 like that, I think is is a plus. And uh and I think 678 00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:58.719 over the next you know, a couple of months, especially as we're getting 679 00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:02.039 in the fall, I think, you know, there's going to be hopefully 680 00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:06.000 more that we can add, you know, with you know, with us 681 00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.920 going out there so right, I mean, I guess we have to also 682 00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:15.360 give one shout out to Heather, Zach Jason, you know, the crew 683 00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:22.239 at Small Town Monsters, alex Eli for putting on just a great show of 684 00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:25.480 force, a great conference, folks.
