At At thanks so much for joining us for tonight's episode of Dogging the Counters
Radio. Really appreciate you being here. If after listening to tonight's show,
you get the impression, if the thought enters your mind, you know what,
Tonight's guests just might be two of the nicest people I think I've ever
heard. Well, you wouldn't be the first. I got that feeling as
well. There's salt of the earth people and like I said, about as
nice as you're gonna find. Well, without any further ado, let's bring
them on here tonight. Tonight's guests are Reven and Brenda Rhodes. Ruven and
Brenda, thanks so much for coming on. Thank you, Ben, thanks
for having us me. We appreciate it. Well, it's great having you.
Thank you for your time. Reuven and Brenda one in a time,
please give us a brief bio in yourselves. Well, speaking for both of
us, we're the most happily married people in the world. Brenda and I
are in our fifty five. She's fifty three, although she doesn't look it.
We fell in love at the office although we work for the same company,
but sixteen hundred miles apart, and about a year ago the lower year
ago, got married and have just never been happier. We both work for
a national walk into company and I'm in sales and Brenda sets those appointments and
we enjoy what we do there, but more than anything, we enjoy getting
out, enjoying nature and uh we I told Brenda early on, I said,
I told her that I had big foot experiences when I was a teenager.
Uh. And I said, hey, that's you know, that's important
to me. I'd like to kind of like to see one again. And
She's like, yeah, let's go do it. So that's that's our hobby
now, not just Bigfoot, but obviously dog man and all sorts of cryptis
and so that's, uh, that's what we do. We live right here
in in western Tennessee, close to a town called Jackson, and we just
moved down a little bit, bought us a house and life is good.
Man. Just couldn't be happier. Uh And once again, thanks for letting
us be on here tonight, Brenda. Uh. I you know, I
really had this fascination with UFOs when I was young and he was growing up.
I grew up in Michigan and moved back to Arizona when I was twenty
five and loved Arizona. Thought I was gonna go out there and find some
aliens and never saw any. But I fell in love with this wonderful man
over the phone because he had such a wonderful voice, and his heart is
even better than his voice. When he told me his stories, It's like,
well, that sounds me. Let's go do it, you know,
exactly like you said that. We have so much fun just out there enjoying
the wilderness and enjoying it. Excuse me, my dear cat Is came all
the way from Arizona to me. He had to be in our laugh.
We have fun going out there and taking pictures of nature, and actually like
to take pictures of the butterflies and flowers and waterfalls, and it just happened
to get other things in those pictures as well. It's one thing to say,
you know what, I'm going to head out into the bushes and beat
them to death looking for sasquatch and dog men. It's totally different, though,
to do it and have so much success such as what you two have.
You don't just talk the talk, you walk the walk. You're the
real deal. You definitely do get results. How did it go the first
time out? Though? The first time out honestly was our best time ever
we had. I feel like that day was almost divinely ordained. It was
so good. We don't want to give that location because the big printer on
the cover of our book and it's anyhow, but I will I'll simply share
that. Brenda and I, you know, we had the conversation. It
was two weeks before we were going to get married. She had moved out
here from Arizona, and uh, we decided we planned our first trip,
uh to say that we were carrying a knife to a gun to a gunfight
as the understatement of the decade, because we had nothing but ourself and I
had a Samsung Galaxy S eight active and Brenda's phone was worse than mine.
Now this is in twenty twenty three, this is last year there was actually
still a functional Samsung Galaxy S eight, and we decided we were going to
head out at that point and just to see it. And we had a
conversation that day. We said, we said, hey, we'll probably you
know, we'll probably take us five or ten years and we'll probably get some
kind of a you know, a blurry picture or something maybe and you know,
maybe just have some fun and enjoy the scener and enjoy the waterfalls,
enjoy you know, nature like we always do. We'll like to hike anyhow,
and instead we went out and it was it was a very it's just
a very unique day. There was no noise. Now, now I'll get
into some myths Vic and I don't mind sharing them before we get done tonight.
And there are a lot of myths about dog Man. We got some
good pictures and that just the other day, and there was all the noises
of nature were going. It doesn't always get completely quiet, guarantee. I'm
sorry, you know, I don't want to say anyone. But this day
it was no matter where we went. We traveled probably to different places ten
miles apart, and there was not a noise. There was nothing. We
had a great time off here of the county. We were in Dred County,
Kentucky and anyhow, to make a long story short, toward the end
of the day, and here's the way it normally is with our when we
get the best photos, the best sideing is it's not normally something that we
totally calculate out and you can't figure these things out with your head. But
what it is is it's just you just fill in your gut. You need
to go somewhere. You just think, hey, that's the place or whatever.
So we went to a certain place toward the end of the day right
there in Tred County, Kentucky. We're just walking across an area that there
are other people there, you know, So we we were new to this.
I mean, I've seen two side squats growing up. We were looking
for sidequatch. We weren't looking for dog man and but weed something. We
just smelled a horn and smell smelled like death. And quite honestly, I'd
smelled it quite a few times since I was a child. Just wasn't for
sure or thought, hey, there can't be that any of these things.
But we smelled it and Brenda started snapping photos. We'll give a shout out
to a guy named Scott Carpenter because we've seen Scott's stuff and you know,
I've read a book of his and things like that. Scott's very influential.
But we started snapping some photos. Brenda started first, so kudos. That's
that's why I married her, because I nesue with Dona enhance my life in
every way. But when we got back to the car, we were probably
just one hundred yards from our car. Guys, most of our great dog
Man photos, everything we take comes from one hundred two hundred yards of the
car. I mean, we don't go super deep in the woods. We
do everything different than most people that go out and look for these things.
But anyhow, we got back to the car, looked through the pictures,
didn't find anything, and after that we we we just said, hey,
that's that's a wrap here. We didn't know how to look through the pictures
at that point, so it was all brand new to us. And of
course the picture quality with the essay to acting was pretty bad. So you
fast forward about one week and I was on a plane flight. And anybody
that thinks any of this is AI CGI or computer animated, I was on
a plane flight. I'm the most technically challenged person in the world for my
age. I do not catch on to technology at all. And I was
on a plane flight to get some additional training for the company I worked with
because I could not catch on to a simple iPad application that most of the
company caught on through Zoom meetings. So I had to go for an additional
week of training and so or reprogramming, what are you going to call it?
And so I couldn't use my phone. I just had airplane mode,
and so I thought, well, I'm going to look back through those pictures.
I looked back through those pictures, and probably the second picture I looked
at, I didn't even know how to do it. I barely knew how
to take a screenshot. But I saw something and I thought those faces looking
at me, and took those screenshots and then zoomed in some more and I'm
like, just a chill came over me because I'm like, oh my goodness,
I'm looking face to face with big Foot. And there were two of
them in the picture of juvenile out front, and there was an adult looking
over his shoulder. And when I, of course, when I landed in
run over Virginia, I called Brandon and I said, You're not gonna believe
this. Last week when we were out, you know, we actually got
pictures of big Foot. Well, to make a long story short, she
started sending me her pictures. We started digging through all those photos, and
I found out that she, if that day did not mess up my worldview
and wrecked my brain enough. She has pictures of a bipedal standing dog man
from that day. And have we had our new phones. We used Samsung
Galaxy S twenty three ultras. Now have we had our new phones, it
had probably been some of the very best dog man pictures ever. Are still
real good, but the pixelization is bad. But she had to just freaked
us out. We're looking at all this stuff and Vic, it's all close
to each other. We're standing thirty forty feet apart. And you've got dog
man, you've got bigfoot. I know that also message up some people's concepts
of these creatures. But you asked about our first day. Our first day
ever was the best day ever when it comes to this stuff. But it
was a whole lot to comprehend and it took us quite a while to process.
Wow, you want to talk about a productive first doubting? You know,
most people they have all it's hard to improve from there, so it
is. Yeah, I'd say, if that doesn't spoil you nothing, Well,
yeah, a lot of people they go and go and go, and
ten trips twenty trips in they don't have that kind of luck. So you
definitely have a n act for this, you definitely do. Well, why
don't she tell us about your dog me and encounters? Now? When you
do, please be as detailed and descriptive as possible. Sure, absolutely,
and most importantly, we just have a great time doing this very seldom.
Well, the first thing I'll tell you about any dogment encounter we do,
any stats watch encounter, whatever. We don't go out at night. We're
afraid of the dark because we know what's out there in the daytime. But
I'll say the first very memorable one we had, and it was we got
a really good picture. I didn't send you that picture, but in the
springtime, and we just got one last week. In the springtime, it's
the easiest time to photograph dog man because you'll get a mother and she'll usually
be looking over the shoulder of a puff picking out from behind a tree.
And we've got three just like that, three or four. And we got
like I said, we got one last week. But our first encounter with
dog man, we didn't you know, we didn't know what it was until
we started peaking. But we had a massive snort that And actually we're getting
some of these pictures. We'll get both big food and dog man in in
the same general area, but massive snort and I really think the snort came
from the dog man, but we didn't see anything. Brenda jumps in the
air like an Olympic athlete and just about does a cart wheel. She's done
that a couple of times with some of these snorts, but she says she
almost lost control of her faculties and it was scary. It was loud.
Yeah, I've never heard anything as loud as that before in my life,
and it just kind of freaked me out a little bit. Yeah, it's
very deep. You can tell the loans are massive, and this thing snorted
at us and we just tried to pretend we weren't afraid. There wasn't the
sight. It sounded like it came from. Ironically enough, we thought for
three or four months we got photos from the right side of this little trail
room and they came back from the left side. But it was a very
We've seen a few like this. A very cute little puff out front,
almost for lack of better term, almost comical looking, just a very cute
little puff out front, and the female dog man is standing looking over his
shoulder or oh, I'm sorry, from behind a tree, just peeking out
at him. So and then we got a second one OF's heard, but
the puff has kind of gone and so that's kind of a pattern. But
that was our first one. We did not see that one as far as
big but but we got it in the photo when we come up. We
got the photos right now. We're gonna we're actually get a lot of those
printed off, and we've shown quite a few of these on our TEDtalk channel
as well. We love to show dog Man two. But our first actual
encounter before we saw one was we were kind of in that same area,
pretty close to that same place. We're at the end of a long gravel
road. We love rivers. We love like smaller rivers. We get sung
around bigger rivers like the Tennis end of the Mississippi, but we we love
these smaller rivers kind of you know, good for kayaking size rivers. And
so we're there at the end of a gravel road and it's actually an oxbow
lake where the river was there but then it was cut off and it's a
lake shaped a lot like a horseshoe, a lot of big cypress trees out
in it, and we get out of the car. And as I'm walking
around, because I always opened the door for Brenda, she's she's never she
doesn't expect it. It's just what I do, and you know, it's
just we take care of each other. But I opened the door for her.
And as I opened the door and we get out, I look over
my right shoulder and no more than fifty yards away there was a what it
looked like was just a giant wolf. It literally, I told her,
I said, from day one, this thing was the size of a small
pony, four maybe even taller than four feet on the shoulders. I mean,
it was huge. I saw the complete silhouette of it. It was
behind just a little bit of shrubbery, but you could tell it was very
dark in color, maybe black, and it just had that really big,
wide head and it was just standing there still looking at me, and I
said, I just saidmit, give back, car, give back in the
car, get me, and I'm just I've got my arm around her and
I was just kind of just ushering her straight into the car as quickly as
I can. She didn't know what was going on, but she didn't ask
questions. She just gott in the car and I shut the door, and
then when I shut the door, I turned around and started trying to get
some pictures. At first, I made sure it hadn't moved toward me,
because that was the case I, you know, definitely was not going to
try to take I didn't want the last photos reported on my camera to see
the sides, you know, six inch long teeth flasting it. So I
made sure I didn't see it at all, and I just started taking pictures
of the area. But we still I was shaking, I was just trembling,
and yeah, we decided, hey, it's time to move on from
that spot. Sometimes a little bit too close for comfort. The second time
we were walking down and by the way, guys, some people talk about
bigfoot hotspots or dog man hotspots. It doesn't matter to us. We find
them at the same place. There's no different in the way. We tell
it all about it in the book The Bigfoot Finders, but we find the
very same way. We don't go out like, hey, I'm gonna go
photograph dog man today, I'm gonna go photograph pick. But some places may
have a few more dog mans, but we find them the same way.
We always live for water, certain kind of areas we look for with a
lot of land around them. We don't. I like places that are very
very few people go, but people go. They like that. They like
the areas where you can kind of get close, they can get They're very
interesting people. Everyone we see just about us peeking out looking straight at us.
That they always see you before you do them. But anyhow, we're
walking down this gravel road. It's shut off because of the time of the
year. I think they opened it up March. Yeah, they opened it
up in March, but it's it's before March. And so we're walking down
this road and I look over to the left and I said, there's a
dog man's heading over there. I think that's a dog man. And we
just stopped and looked at it. It was. We were probably maybe a
half mile down this little I mean by a gravel road. It's really wouldn't
been good for a car to write on it, but it's a car.
Truck could and uh, but it was shut off and uh, I said,
I think that's a dog matter. We watch it for a while.
Uh and and I said, what do you think we should do? And
Brenda said, well, it's not hurt us. Let's just keep on going.
It wasn't a real big one. It was by heavil. It was
peaking out from behind a tree. And so we got some pictures of that
one. But once you see them, it's hard to get a good picture.
Once you see them, they know you see them, and so we
got some We got some photos of that one as well. Yeah, and
so did you have some bad is that the one that has a stick?
That was that was? So that was the same place, the same place
as we heard with dog Man too. It seems to be a little more
prevalent. We'll hear a big stick break of some kind. I know you
hear them with sisquatch as well. But uh so we're at the same place,
that same little road, but we're like a mile long down and we
come in from the other side and we hear a massive stick brek it is
this is a big stick break. It kind of kind of shove me up.
It's too big to be an animal, you know, it's just too
big to be anything just naturally occurring. And so we have what we always
do. We just started taking pictures. And one of those photos that we
sent you that that tonight Brenda Gott And it's a bipedal dog man standing up.
It's black, and it also had a juvenile and there was a time
of the year. I'm telling you this time of the year. If you
look close, if you ever get a one standing up, a good picture
of one, you're going to have a juvenile somewhere around most of the time,
and most of the time it's going to be a female. But this
one is holding its paula, and it is a paula. It's not a
claw, but it's an LONGI edged paul that it's holding up, and so
it's just literally standing there. Uh yeah, it's like saying, Hi,
we didn't see that one, but we heard it. We heard something happened.
Brenda smelled it too. She really smells these things well. A lot
of times that the dog man, she'll say, has worth more urine.
Definitely, they have a more of a urine, dirty gym suck smell.
That bigfoot. Bigfoot just smells dirty and like dead animals. And I don't
really smell the urine when we see the bigfoot, but dog man, Yeah,
it's mainly what really gets me is that urine smell. And this one
was really smelled that urine and he's taking pictures on one side of the road,
and I've taken pictures on the other side of the road, and of
course I get the best picture. She's got lovetal dog Man extra. But
uh, as far as taking pictures, I am a little bit jealous.
It's the only thing, you know, we got. We got a good
relationships. She's going to have to quit. I mean, our first trip
out, she messed it up. Like taking pictures of dog Man. I
didn't know they were for real, and see starts taking pictures of them.
And but uh, one more, I'll tell you about as far as a
visible sighting, when that happened this year, probably about five weeks ago.
And I read this when you made If anyone's seen the little video on tiptop,
it's called I did it dog Man or bear squatch because the hawk is
more of a human look and either that or it's behind a log maybe,
but the foot looks more human. But it's definitely a dog type face on
this creature. But many of the times that I'll just stop. I travel
a whole lot in sales. So I traveled from one end of the state
to the other. I was in Mississippi, I think yesterday or the day
before Arkansas the day before that, I'm in a part of Tennessee that touches
a lot of states, but a lot of times, if I have extra
fifteen minutes or so to blow before I get to a customer's house, I'll
pull over just on the side of a major highway, but kind of a
pull off area where there's water and where maybe there's a little logging trail or
something, and I just get some great, great photos that way. But
I have so many, whether it's size watch or dog man, visual sighting,
so many that I have to find by myself. I'll be talking to
Brenda on the phone and I'll say, hey, I think I see something
I'm looking you know, I told her when I'm looking at a bitch food,
I'm literally looking at a big foot while we're talking, and pull off
a couple of pictures. But this time I couldn't tell it was dog man.
I could tell it was a crypted, I could tell it was super
dark. I could tell there were two of them, and there were maybe
one hundred yards away or so. And of course you've got that picture tonight
too. I was across the fence right inside my car, so it wasn't
a scary encounter. But you know, and let me say this big a
year or two ago, when I heard somebody telling stories like this, if
I were sitting on the other side of this camera, if I were just
listening, I would think this, this is just a bunch of blow me.
I mean, that's what I would think, because it was always a
turn off to me to hear people that have multiple sightings and multiple Cryptis and
dog Man skin Walker and all this stuff. I can't even blows It blows
our mind as well, it truly does. There's nothing in it to us
that there's nothing in it for us. I mean, it'd have been more
profitable for us if we just got some good, big photos and moved on.
We weren't even looking for all this stuff. Yeah, that's what I
wanted. We we get so much, you know, get we get ninety
seven percent on social media that just love us, love the photos, see
the things that we put out, and then three percent of people that are
just you know, very venomous with their assault. And there's nothing in this
for us. We have no reason to make anything up. We're not.
We're making a little money off the boot, but not nearly as much as
we've invested in it in our website, and so there's nothing there, there's
nothing in it for us to make this kind of stuff up. But if
you're on the other side of this camera screen today, if you're on the
other side and you're watching this, I understand that it is. You know,
it's hard to wrap your brain around somebody saying, hey, we see
all this stuff. All I can do is report what we see them,
what we photograph, and we do have the pictures to prove it, and
we can go take more tomorrow. And so that's just the that's the fact.
But that's just so that's really I guess that's pretty much all of our
visual dog Man encounters that we've had. We've got a lot of good pictures
that we didn't you know, that we didn't see them or hear them,
or smell them or anything. But that's pretty much the visuals we've had right
there. Is that we want the world to know that these creatures are out
there, and some of them can be very mean and hurtful. I've heard
of several terrifying men stories. But the world deserves to know the truth,
and that's what we want to do. We want to make sure that we
share what we see and the people can decide for themselves and be safe enjoy
nature anyways. But you just have to be a little bit more safer because
these things are out there, absolutely knowing out there they're real. And one
reason we say the world deserves to know the truth is the friend that was
with me during my second bigfoot encounter when I was seventeen. He's sixteen or
something. I think I already turned seventeen. He took his own life within
two years of that night, and that he had severe PTSD from that night.
I don't know if that was the reason I felt we fell out of
touch. He moved away. He was much older than me, he was
almost thirty years old at the time of the encounter. But you know,
if we were told the truth, there's people in positions of power. No,
it makes me nervous to share this type of information, It really does.
I don't want somebody, you know, knocking on my door. But
we truly believe the world deserves to know the truth. And all we do
is report what we see and what we photograph. So yeah, but that's
pretty much our encounters there are what we've seen them We've got a lot more
pictures, but that's and we learn a lot from those pictures as well.
There's a lot that you can learn when you dig through those photos. You're
not kidding when you say you could hit tomorrow and get more pictures, because
you know, if your track record, I definitely believe you. Well,
it looks like the people in the live chat looks like no one wants to
see any pictures, So I guess we can close the show out. No,
I'm just kidding. If I talk like that, the dog Me and
the acci each you'll live. Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
Let's get into those pictures now, if you don't mind, what I'm gonna
do is, I'm going to post five pictures that you've sent me that are
not going to get my channel taken down and are not going to have black
suits showing up at our front door and all kinds of other problems. But
I'm gonna post these one by one, and as I do, please tell
us the story behind each one. Oh good bear sponge. Yeah, So
that one there is the most recent of the five that we sent you,
and we've got we photographed well over sixty last year, almost identical in number
to Bigfoot. As far as what we photographed. We see more Bigfoot than
we do dog Man because they hide better. But we photographed them almost an
identical number. And that one there, that's one that I was talking to
Brenda on the phone and I said, I see those, I see them.
I literally was driving to a customer's house, pulled over a little spot
I'd been to a couple times before, and I think I've been there,
but had little a little pond beside it in a little place of gravel to
full over. And we're chatting, and I always walk down and we're talking,
and she's like, oh, you're not gonna get another picture while I'm
talking to you, are it? And I'm like, maybe I'm looking at
one. I'm looking at something right now. And so I sit there,
and of course I snapped off a couple of photos. And once you start
taking pictures of them, they'll usually just move right away, shift or begin
to blend into their background pretty good. But those two guys, you'll see
one standing up and you see another one turn almost completely sideways like this,
leave it over to the side. We get these things at some weird angels.
We get new foot and dog man at the very same place. You
know, we did a picture a few weeks back that had a white faced
bigfoot with a dog man looking over its shoulder. But yeah, that's that's
uh, that's one that we got right off the side of the main road
in a place that people pull over and take breaks and you know whatever.
People people frequent where we got that picture. They pull over, have lunch,
take photos of each other, and huh they knew through the background.
That's exactly right. That's most people have taken pictures of kryptons if they've been
in the woods much and just don't know it. Oh, I don't doubt
that at all. Let's put up the second photo. Now, Oh,
that's mine. That's mine with his paw saying hi. That we discussed a
few minutes ago. He is or she had not? She forgive me.
They're all on to me. That uh, that is one of the best
pictures that we have because it's just so unusual. It's so uh so rare
to see the bipedal with the paw up and as you see, there's no
claws. It looks like a dog paw. Yeah. The back rail behind
that one is just a really loud stick break when we were coming through and
we come back through and Brenda's smelling them. I got a large mail on
the other side of the road, but it wasn't that clear, along with
some distorted, weird sort of encrypted with it. It wasn't just a dog
man. But of course we're talking about this picture. Brenda got that one.
Now if you went out forty feet to the right of that one in
the original which we didn't send. But we got on a lot of these.
We have the originals. Some of them were misplaced them. It's hard
to keep up with all this stuff, especially until I got Brenda got me
organized. But there was a dog man puff. This was a either in
March, April or May Loto. The the best dog man pictures for us
always come most of the time, ninety percent of time they're gonna come in
those three months, just like I believe with Sisque as well. But many
times it's going to be that that mother dog man and she's looking she's watching
those pups plural or singer. We've got a couple with just one, and
we've got some multiples. But anyhow, this one did have a pub down
there. We were on a gravel road. Cars could not travel it at
that time. We snapped the photos and get home and we're like, holy
moly, what are we looking at? And so anyhow hard to wrap your
brain around this stuff, but yes, that was that's probably a mother dog
man. Brenda got that picture, which she just told you, and uh,
we're proud of that one. That's that's really good photos. So it's
bad enough seeing a dog man, but one is weaving at you. Yeah,
that rams it up to a whole new level. Holy can. We
didn't see it in person, but yeah, I kind of appreciate because we
were we were good ways back. I mean it was cars couldn't get back
through there. Nobody goes where you know, well a lot of people don't
go. We were probably a mile back in the away from our car at
that point. We did some of our best pictures right beside the car,
but we were probably a mile back there. So you know, it's kind
of what's weird is when you get back to the car or you get back
home, you look through them and you remember how far you were back when
you took the photo. I mean, you know, like I've heard you
say many times, if they wanted to get you. They just would so
oh definitely, yeah, easily. They held class us so badly in the
woods, it's not even funny. That's why people talk about taking guns into
the woods to quote unquote protect themselves from these guys in Sasquatch. It's a
joke. If they want to get you, it doesn't matter what size gun
you have, They're gonna get you. And we don't. You know,
just maybe it's something I shouldn't say out loud, But we don't pack.
We're you know, and I believe in the Second Amendment. Don't get me
wrong. I just when I'm out there, I feel it. We probably,
I mean, these days, they're beyond there's something beyond just a regular
intelligence to them. I'm not saying they're smarter than us, but they're very
perceptive. And that being the case, I feel like it would hurt our
odds of getting the photos would get so we don't pack. I don't think
it would hurt them anyways, Yeah it would. You'd probably be better off
turning the gun on yourself and committed. So is that if what was attacking
you're not We're not saying I probably shouldn't said that word. Vic. I'm
sorry, but if one we're attacking, you just just yeah, the gun's
not going to help you. I don't think so, not at all.
Yeah, people really underestimate how much power it's going to take to really have
any effect on these guys. I mean, I know some pretty impressive weaponry
that's been used on them and no real effect. So I mean you can
carry a ten milimeter on your hip and think, Okay, that's a powerful
handgun. Well it is, but yeah, against these guys, it's not
going to get the job done. So you're just appeasing yourself basically, but
having it on your hip, you're not protecting yourself. Now that that's exactly
right, You're you're not And once again, you know we're I don't want
to say this wrong, but but we're certainly not against the Second Amendment.
We actually carry have you know, have have weapons ourselves, but we just
don't care when we're out there, just because I think they would know.
I think cryptids know if you're what your intense are. And any I just
said it helps us enjoy the journey, and uh, you know, we're
uh not trying to get super spiritual, but we're Christians and we just believe
God's going to protect us. That's all I can say. Well, like
I said, you're definitely solid to the earth people, you definitely aren't.
These cryptids somehow seems like they can see into your heart, and it seems
like they just might tre people who are pure of heart like you, differently
in a live cases and people who aren't. I wonder if there is anything
to that. Seems like there just might be. I don't know. Well,
let's get to the next photo now, Photo three. What can you
tell us about this one? Yeah, I know exactly. Yeah, we
found that that particular area the other day and took a photo zoomed all through.
If there's nothing that that could have been, that guy looks like a
chow at least in my opinion, just looks like a big old chow standing
by Pedeley there, sticking your head out from behind that tree. It's once
again we don't have favored areas because we find them almost there before we go.
It's not that hard. Just you know, if you're around the water
and you've got and we love to find urban cryptids too, you can get
them pretty urban. There's there's an element to them that just doesn't lign up
with what we call science. But this guy, there was a long line
the whole picture, and there was along like drainage ditch or kind of a
creek, but it's real muddy back creek, and on up in front of
him, maybe one hundred feet on up in front of him, there was
a big footstick and it set out too. So that's just the kind of
stuff we photographed. But yeah, that guy looks like a coow. We
were I think in our car, or I think we were in our car,
or maybe just just stepped out of our car, but we were not.
We weren't far from our car. Most of them come pretty close to
our car. We do HiPE back sometime, but that guy was pretty much
roadside and didn't know it was there until we got home and just thought it
was a great pick. So it looks really hairy to me. Lots of
air up and he's got beautiful markings, beautiful color on that one. Good
job catching them on film again, Another good job. Oh you're welcome.
Let's pull up the fourth one now, Yeah that one, Uh, that's
a weird place. We've just photographed some weird stuff there. Kind of kind
of felt weird weird when we were there. That one doesn't appear to have
a lot of hair on it. Assume it's a dog man, but you
can see it sticking out to the right hand side of that tree. You
can see an arm real well. And there were other cryptids in the area
that weren't dog men, and so just just a very typical photo. We
do get a lot of them where we lived, just leaning out from behind
cypress trees. Uh that are that are you know, right there on the
back of the water and so uh, just very common. That was across
a across about maybe before we zoomed in, that was across one hundred yard
or so wide, uh little lake there that ox Found Lake again or ox
Fold Lake, and so uh yeah, and I think we got some more
weird stuff right in that area. Uh. And it was kind of a
kind of a weird day. Uh. But yeah, just I know some
of these man we've taken so many some of them, I didn't really categorize
them the way I should. So I remember pretty much where that one was.
He was a little bit different part of the state. He was in
Tennessee. But I don't even know if we get we get so many pictures.
There's a lot of places we've got good bigfoot and dogment pictures and we've
just never been back just because we do find them just about it before we
go. But yeah, that guy, there was something about seven or eight
trees on down to the right. There was something else looking out at us
as well, and so I remember this area. This was. We're standing
on the bake Ixvielle Lake is right there, and then there's a whole bunch
of trees and stuff on the other shore and we're just it's gorgeous. I
mean, I've never seen anything like this in Michigan or Arizona, where I'm
from, and it's just lovely to see these trees growing up and they've got
such wide trunks and they it just looks like they're ready to walk out of
the water because they just the way they look, especially when the water it's
really low, and I think this was one of those pictures that it was
really low. And Brenda's right. Tennessee, guys, if you've never been
here, it's a cool It's really three stakes in one the west end of
the state, there's a lot of places that look like the Louisiana Swamp just
like she was talking about the big cypress trees. The middle part of the
state, it's just different. There's a lot of rock there, but there's
some crudy rivers and creeks you get into waterfalls. And then of course East
Tennessee. Everybody knows the Smoky Mountains and so and how gorgeous they are.
And so Tennessee is a really long state and it's beautiful, and we've gotten
pretty much. We've never been all the way to East Tennessee, but we've
got them just about from one end of the state to the other. Not
yet, we'll be there sometimes we'll be there six hour drive, yeah,
to the other side of the state. So Kevin quake got that far yet,
I was more than watching the waterfall when we went to Middle Tennessee.
Absolutely, but yeah, that one was across maybe one hundred yard wide lake.
Well, like I said, did grab you definitely have a knack for
this. Oh you're welcome. Let's pull up that fifth photo. Now there
you go. Okay, that would I know exactly where that one happened.
Just a weird deal. So we we parked our car at the end of
a little once again just that one was on a Wildlife Management Area. Uh,
there's big lakes there, there's super shallow lakes, and uh, Brenda
and I saw all these huge burden nests out in the middle of the lake,
up in these dead cypress trees, and we thought that were eagles.
Well they weren't. They were almost eagles. And what were the osprays was
gosh, I don't even remember now old spraying. Anyhow, there were these
big birds almost as speak as eagles. So we're all captivated by them on
one side. And actually there's another guy. So many times we photographed these
things. There's kids playing, you know, there's parents, people walk by,
there's another guy photographing out by himself, and he walks past, just
has no idea that this thing's maybe forty fifty yards over on you know,
on the side, just peeking out the grass and shrubbery at us. And
so we didn't know it either, as I think. Maybe I do remember
taking several sometimes I'll just remember it's not like I see him, but I
remember taking three or four pictures of an area because just there's something there that
catches my Brenda does the same thing. And that was one of those areas
that we took a couple of several pictures of But anyhow, when we got
home, you can you can imagine how surprised we were to find out.
You know, here were once again, maybe a half a mile from the
car, and this guy's just staring at us. We're kind of on top
of a raised area looking down. Another little hint we give people is look
for those raised areas that are higher because you get you do get some good
pictures from the higher areas. But yeah, got back to the probably all
the way back home before we found him. In fact, out this guy
was staring at us. Ironically enough, around the bend we got a really
good picture of a sasquatch as well. So once again, I know this
is a dog match show, but we find the two at the same place.
There's no difference in the way we find them. We're photographing them.
Well, I'll see it again. You guys definitely do have a knack for
doing that. You do. Thank you, You're welcome. Let's get to
the first question for you. It's from Pamela be And Pamela has a general
question that I'm going to handle. She wants to know how tall are they
on two legs? Well, pam they can be eleven twelve feet tall.
I've heard some incredible eyewitnesses report that, So in my opinion, that's about
as tall as they can get. The next question is from Jonathan Dodd,
and John wants to know what camera are y'all using. Yeah, now we
did. We're working with someone. We may make it a regular camera,
but now all we use is there Samsung Galaxy S twenty three Ultras. It
has one hundred x zoom. As I mentioned, we started off with Samsung
Galaxy S eight Actives and Brenda's was worse than mine. I don't know what
kind it was that her pixelization was worse than mind. We got the S
twenty three Ultras just because of their camera capability. I think that S twenty
four is maybe just a little bit better, but one of the best phone
cameras that there is. And the reason we do that is twofold number one.
We love to be very discreet, and so even if there's a better
camera out there with a better zoom, our thought process is it's it's going
to be very obvious that you're pointing that at one of these creatures. And
every time we film one ninety five percent of time they're looking directly at us.
In ninety five percent time, we don't know they're there, and so
they already see us. So if we go swinging something that looks like a
cannon around, then it's going to get their attention. But we just lift
up our phones, take a quick picture. So it is Samsung Galaxy S
twenty three Ultras. And if if Samsung wants to use us for a commercial
or an ad, we're made, well, they can talk to our agent.
But that's what we use me. And another thing, I mean,
I don't want to go out hiking even a mile or two away from the
car, but it's loaded down with this equipment. So our cell phones are
so late. We just take them with that great cameras. We travel a
lot, sounds like you do, And that's great reasoning behind not taking a
hand cannon out there, an actual slr out there, because you don't want
to do anything that's going to make them get twisted. Yeah. I mean
we've had a few where we saw them, we witnessed them, we watched
them for a while, we zoomed in on them, and we got the
pictures. And a really good zooming camera would have been fantastic. But for
the most part, by the time you've had that camera to be either blended
or gone or shifted behind something. And so it's just the most industry took
to us. It's as much about indiscretion as it is about what gives you
the best picture. I was also just thinking, laughing to myself, I
can't even imagine that trame and manipulate a camera with all the new gadgets that
you have that you can attach to it. That's just too much technology.
We're not tad people, but we did good. That's why I use a
Samsung and not an iPhone. And please iPhone people. I've had people don't
get mad at us, but know we use Samsung's. Well, there's definitely
a method to your madness and sounds me like you've got this all ironed out.
Definitely. It looks like wandering bull three six nine wants to know.
Are you more likely to catch a cryptid from your peripheral rather than looking for
it? Our motto is just enjoy the journey we have. We I probably
search more them more than Brenda does, and she probably enjoys the surroundings and
nature and just everything that's going on more than me. But Honestly, I
find that probably the less you look for him and just enjoy yourself. We
first of all, we don't suggest anybody go out and do what we do.
We can't suggest that because you know, there has to be a disclaimer
of waver because it could be dangerous obviously. But having said that, what
was the question. We just really know how to enjoy the view. We
don't try to go all big foot hunting or done man, honey, and
we just go out and you most of the time we don't even know that
we have them in the picture until we get back. And he spends hours
and days going through these pictures and zooming in and he's so much better at
finding than in the picture, and I just take the picture. But to
answer the question, I do remember the question, bit h To answer the
question, probably most of them are called out of the peripheral and my eyesight's
not that great, But most of them very seldom do we see. We
saw one big foot last year that just chumped out at us. That dog
man, the one the size of a small pony, It just jumped out
at us. Very seldom, though most of the time, he's exactly right,
you're going to catch just some movement we look for where it's black and
shining. A lot of times it will be black, not always, but
uh, there's there's kind of a shine to them, especially if the sun's
hitting them, and and just look look for that movement. And and of
course once you've done it, for lack of a better try, it's not
just your eyesight. You learn how to feel when they're around, and we
kind of know when they're around, and of course we try to optimize those
times and take a lot of photos. Whether it's by natural or kind of
a gut instinct sort of thing, you just you know both ways, there
are a lot of different elements that go into an other division. But yeah,
sometimes a lot of times you're more likely to see when out of your
peripheral than to stare ahead on eyeball to eyeball with it. That's the kind
of encounter we don't want. So yeah, definitely, hopefully it will never
happen. Hopefully, I hope after catching some many on film, do you
still feel a rush when you get home start looking at the photos and bem,
there's one. Yeah, there's a place in our book Vic the Bigfoot
Finders, and we say we just you know, we give all these noble
reasons. We do it for that. We find crypts and we photograph them,
and we say, you know, and it is very personal to me
because I did have a friend greatly impacted by it. It'll it will rock
your world view to find out the truth. But but you know, and
so we say we do it for safety, and we do. I believe
potentially there have been people taken by these creatures at times, and you know,
the world doesn't deserve to know the truth. But there's a place in
our book where we say truth is. We're just going to be honest.
We're the ultimate adrenaline junkies. And it's quite a rush to get back home
and say, hey, I was, you know, fifty seventy five feet
from this scrypted standing there looking at me, and you've got the you know,
you've got the proof right there in your hands. So yeah, we
enjoyed that. Man, it is a rush. Besides, too a calendar
and when he was younger, we will have been doing this for a little
over a year now, yeah, and so it's still brand new to us,
and it is just it's incredible. I mean, I enjoy seeing the
waterfalls, but when we come home and we see a cryptied with the waterfall,
It's like, Wow, you can't wrap your brain Red's It will rock
your worldview. When you see what's really out there looking at it'll blow your
mind. So, yeah, there is a rush when we see him.
Dad, Oh, I'm sure there is. Yeah, you're still kind of
fresh into this. But I don't see there coming a day. I don't
think there's going to be a day coming years down the road, even when
this is gonna be happening when you're sitting on the couch and discover a new
one that you didn't see while you're out there, and you're not going to
still feel that rush. I think you always will, absolutely, And sometimes
it's in an old picture too, Sometimes like the one that we just posted
about eight or nine days ago on TikTok, when we call a white face
a black face, speak foot. He's in the book, but we're looking
at that picture and we're like, that's a dog man looking over his shoulder.
We didn't see the dog man at first. You know, you get
so blown away by the main character. Sometimes those supporting characters are will really
blow your mind when you see what's really out there and what's really looking at
you? So so, yes, it is exciting, It really is.
Oh, it definitely is. This next question is from Manuel Zavala, and
Manuel wants to know what attracts these dog men to appear in front of you
both consistently in general, probably birth that we believe another there. We you
know, we have a confidence that everywhere we go that cricktids are there.
It's it's more than just a knowing. It's it's most of the time.
I feel like if I feel like, if we would be like most folks
and look at maps and go, we don't even care if there's ever been
an encounter there. It doesn't matter to us. Most of those pictures that
you saw, I don't think. I don't think one, not one photo
we showed tonight was from a from a place that other people would consider a
Crykett hotspot. People have never seen anything there. Dog men's never been seen
there the first place wherever photographing was. But we we don't. We just
know that they're going to be there, because they are. We know that,
just like he just said, which is a great point, and we
say it in our boot, because you find Bigfoot and you find dog man
exactly the same way. If you want to know how to find dog Man,
you find all CRYPTI. It's the same way. You have to understand
a few principles. One of them is you're the baked. They're interested in
you. When you get out in the woods, they're gonna check you out.
You Just what most people don't understand is they wait till they see something
to start taking the picture. When you send something smells something here, something
or whatever, that's when you snap off that photo. That's when they're there,
and then you find them when you get home. I don't really like
well, I mean, it's it's a rush to say them when you're out
in the woods, but it's scary if you're back in the woods. Of
ways, it's a whole lot better to not know until you get home.
You know what you don't see Kane hurt you, I guess. But anyhow,
hopefully that answers that question. Yeah. I think the big thing is
you have to believe and then they'll be there. Yes, like they do
tend to be there. We've got so many more photos through. We just
shot you a few quick ones, but we've got we've got a lot,
and so it just it never ceases to amaze us and blow our mind when
we get new stuff. We were taking a video the other day. It
was just a TikTok video called how to Think like a bigfoot Finder, and
then another one about my first encounter, and people started coming, hey,
there's stuff in that photo. We zune in and there's a female dog man
standing behind with a puff in front of it in the photo and we didn't
even see it. Other people were telling said, there's stuff out there.
That's how we found it. So, I mean, we've been super busy.
We haven't had time to dig through photos like we want to. We
just moved and my dad's not doing that great physically, so we're traveling a
lot. But yeah, even other people were seeing them in there, not
just us, and this was a moving video. So anyhow, Yeah,
you have to believe they're there, I'd say so. Yeah, if other
people are seeing them and you're not, this says a lot right there.
It does. It looks like do something. Diff has a question that you've
already answered. He wants to know I'm in Arizona, where is she from
in Arizona? Also, they're in Tennessee. I used to live in Arizona.
I was born and raised in Michigan and moved to Arizona when I was
twenty six, I believe, and lived in Arizona until one year and a
half ago when I moved to TENNESSEEA be with this wonderful man. Oh yeah,
I was in Chandler, Arizona. Phoenix, Arizona. Arizona's a beautiful
place, a match made in heaven. Yes, right, yes, that's
right. I've got a question for you from Bigfoot Reports and Data. The
question is RD and Brenda. When are you guys coming to see me?
We love you, Dad, We love you. Check out Bigfoot Reports and
Data. He's a great guy. He's on the other end of the state.
And yeah, Jack Harley stuff out too. He does the same thing
we do. He's a superstar. And we talk a lot, Hardy.
We're working on it road. We just got in our house, and yeah,
we got a couple of things to put behind us, and then hopefully
maybe around that Smoky Mountain Bigfoot conference. Maybe around that time, we'll be
at that end of the state anyhow, and we'll see what we can do.
Man. But yeah, thank you Harton. All right. The next
question is from Vanessa, and Vanessa wants to know where can we find you
on TikTok okay. Oh, it's just the Bigfoot Finders. You just look
up the Bigfoot Finders. We am anymore. We started off kind of concentrated,
and of course our website is the best way to find everything we have.
It's www dot the Bigfoot Finders www dot foot finders dot com. But
it has everywhere the tied talk. We do some stuff on YouTube as well,
but we don't. We really haven't concentrated on that much. We're new
to this tech thing. We're just we're just learning. We're technically challenged,
as we tell people. Uh but yeah, and uh, I do encourage
folks if you get on there, don't just look at one video, go
back and watch quite a few of them. You'll kind of get a flavor
and you'll see that that what we're showing is is really true. So that
I definitely do believe. We've got another question for you from Bigfoot Reports and
Data, and that question is when is the best time to capture them on
film? R D M. Brenda. What are you coming to see?
I guess it's already I've already asked me that one. I'm getting ahead of
myself here, that that is a great question. We we have a place
in our boot that we say, uh that that cryptis maybet up at five
o'clock, four o'clock in the morning, but we don't. We don't get
up at three or four o'clock in the morning. We don't go out in
the woods at night. It doesn't matter to us. Whatever time we're out,
maybe not quite as much activity and the heat really hot middle heat of
the sun, but we get them all the time. So we usually don't
get started to about nine o'clock in the morning. Usually we leap by about
four or five on the days we don't. We haven't spent but three days
in the woods this year because of the move looking for houses and helping my
father and mother, and so we're getting so many pictures for the little bit
of time we spend. But trust me, we do not get up with
the roosters. We don't go out in the woods at night. And uh
yeah, just whenever you're out there is the best time. Just so you're
at the right place with the right person. We do always recommend going pairs
and be safe, but just so you're in the right place and you know,
it doesn't matter what time, we get them all times in the day,
and feeling that if I remember correctly, the best time of the year
was right now. Margin may are the best months to find the cryptis leader
when it's warm, very rarely, and then you know, when it gets
closer to fall winter not as much. But I think right now is the
best. Right now, it's particularly for dog men because you do have the
mothers with the puffs this time of year, and you know we have that's
something we have consistently gotten as good pictures. We don't always show the puff
out front or whatever. Sometimes it's not as clear, but we can tell
it. But any hell, the mothers absolutely guarantee, and sisquatch I believe
it's the same way I believe the Independence Day film that one has a baby
on its shoulder. But as far as as far as dog man, those
mothers are more vulnerable and more likely to be seen or photographed in the spring
with the puffs are small. And I do believe just from our photographs.
And that's why we say that that photography is the highest form of research,
because there are people to do all kinds of things, but we learned so
much by digging through these photos. But one thing that we've learned is what
I just mentioned. You're more likely to get that good photo in the springtime.
The mothers are more vulnerable because they're always maybe three or four trees back,
peeking out, looking at their puffs and keeping an eye on them,
making sure they don't get hurt. And I never went across a dog man
puff because mama's there are somewhere. So yeah, thank goodness for that.
The next question is one I'm going to answer. It's from blood Vipa,
and when I see questions like this, I just laugh. The question is
why are there no absolutely clear, non blurry photos. Well, blood Vipa,
there are. There are quite a few crystal clear photos of these guys.
You haven't seen them, So just because you have haven't seen them,
does that mean they don't exist? Not at all, Not at all.
I've seen some very very clear photos of dog men posted on YouTube, on
Facebook, I've seen them posted other places online. But for some reason,
they don't stay up very long. They get taken down pretty quickly. I
wonder why that is. It's almost like there's some kind of a an agency
or agencies out there. Trying to make sure that the really clear photos aren't
shared with the general public. Maybe that's what's behind it. That is what's
behind it. That's why you can't just log onto Google and pull up a
crystal clear photo of a dog man, one that says, okay, yeah,
there he is, like you're looking at somebody in the grocery store.
That's why you aren't going to see those. Like I said, I've been
doing this a long time. I have seen people post them over the years.
But yeah, number one, the photos don't stay up one and in
quite a few cases, the people who posted them, they didn't stick around
long. I'm not going to say that's the way it's always been, but
on too many occasions I've noticed people posting photos that were too good to post
like that for the general public, and they mysteriously just disappear, or they
die of a strange strain of cancer, or you name it. I mean,
more times I could shake a stick at. Unfortunately, well I can't
say more times I could shake a stick at. But way too many times
when people have posted evidence like that that was too good to have any business
posting like that, well, things happened that I wouldn't be surprised if they
were foul play, So hope that answers your question. The next question is
from Elaine. Isabelle wants to know. I see a lot of black and
white ones. Do you see these type as well? We see a pretty
decent amount. We thought about sending one. Yeah, we thought about sending
one. I think that looks like a collige. You do see multiple colors.
Usually that'll be white down through here, but yeah, yeah, most
of them, the majority of them are black. We have one from that
same area that we showed. I think two of those photos were from pretty
close together. And we've got another one with a big, bulky black one
peeking out from some shrubber and he's got there's a golden female with some white
under her chin that's down belower. But yeah, we do see multiple colors,
sure do. I mean just like just just like dogs. I mean,
that's just the truth. That's white dogs more, probably more, you're
more likely to see a black one, get anything, though, Yeah,
that definitely does seem to be the most common color. The next one is
from Deed Truth. Indeed Truth wants to know have you ever had a bad
encounter if you throw all cryptids in there. The second encounter, I had
left my friend with PTSD, But that was more. That was more to
do with the truth being concealed on a high level than it was with just
the encounter. It was your brain trying to process that these things exist.
That one was just very curious and the biggest thing we've had thrown at it.
We've had a few rocks thrown at us, but primarily acorns by juvenile
in Hunstville, Alabama. We've had them snort at us. We've had them
sometimes. I'll give you an example. We were at a place. Well,
we're not sharing that picture, so I'll tell you we're well, no,
I'm You've got me nervous. What you're talking about the tonight big about.
But we walked, we walked. We take a photograph. It's down
along we're headed toward a cot uh, toward a cornfield. We take a
photograph and it's a long trail with high grass and kind of some woods on
both sides of it. It kind of goes down and you can see it.
You have about one hundred yard shot. Well, we get to going
down it and I told Brenda, I said, something doesn't feel right.
Uh, and uh uh, And so we get down in this cornfield.
The corn's already been cut, and we get down in the cornfield and she
said, uh, I think she wanted to go some further, and I
said, we just we just got to turn around and go. What we
found was on our way down, we photographed one spider crawling right in the
middle of the trail. We've we've shown it on our tip top before,
but we photographed right in the middle of the trail and by the time we
got obviously it moved out of the way because it wasn't there when we got
there. We picked up two more cryptis to our right in the photos that
we didn't know were there. So literally we walked down right over top.
Our foot touched the ground where this thing was laying on its belly. We
walked past where it was as it's right there in the right there in the
shrubber beside us. We didn't know it. We get photos of it there
though, and all the way back and we walked through it and we just
knew that we needed to get out of there. So I think the real
key is when you know it's time to leave leaf. Yeah, we haven't
had any horrible experiences. We haven't been attack or you know, the worst
thing was the grunting and the snorting, the rock throwing. But you know,
Bill, we're not bothering them any and they're not gonna, hopefully keep
our fingers crossed. They will leave us alone and just let us enjoy them
from the distance. We're much more afraid of a knock on our door that
we don't want than we are of the dog man doing something to us,
understandably so, and yet we're going to talk about that. I don't mean
to make you anxious about that. We'll have a talk, but yeah,
oh sure, yeah, definitely. I wish it wasn't the case. But
yeah, there are more than one. There's been more than one, I
guess you could say researcher when you're talking about both dog men and the sasquatch
side over the years, who has posted info or posted evidence that I asked
them. I told them, I'm going to highly recommend that you don't post
that, because if you do, you're probably going to bring bad attention upon
yourself. Well, they posted it anyway, and unfortunately, and more than
one case, more than one of those people aren't here anymore. Aren't with
us, so it's real. It's real. So that's why you don't see
people posting, like I said, the really good evidence. But like I
said, I don't want to make you nervous or anxious. We'll have a
good talk talk about this and I'll bring more clarity to this. So I
just don't want to leave you guessing and wondering exactly what I'm talking about and
where the lines are. Well, we hope to just keep our pictures just
right under the quality it gets people interested in us from the wrong place,
and you know, just good enough for the public to lie, just not
quite enough, good enough to get the wrong attention. So good ideas,
kidding, but good idea. The next question is from Richard Remus, and
Richard wants to know I was raised in Michigan. I now live in Bristol,
Tennessee. Do you both think maybe y'all have a different vibration frequency,
maybe more in tune. We're both we're both definitely just country, but we
were. Brenda was raised on a little in a very small lake community up
in Michigan, right on the lake, and I was raised fishing and hunting,
and uh, spend it a bunch of time on my grandfather's one hundred
acre farm and anyhow, So I don't know. We say we're soul mates.
So I don't know as far as the vibration, but there's there's definitely
something going on that these preachers life or that they're comfortable with. That's all
I know. I'd say there must be with all the lucky bad. The
next one is from d Truth. Hey d. His question is if you
ever came upon an injured dogg in or bigfoot, do you think you'd try
to help it? Yes, yeah, probably so as long as it acted
like it wanted help. You know, we we don't feel that these things
should be harmed or captured for the purpose of science at all. In the
self defense situation, just like with the human being, where you know,
whatever you have to do to defend your own life, that's one thing.
But at the same time, there are a lot of stories out there of
particularly Sasquashed helping people. I don't know, that's a that's a that's very
much a hypothetical and it have to happen to you, but probably it is
the We probably try to do what we could. It's what I think.
So that's what I know is the big time animal lover. So the answer
is yes, as nice as you are. Yeah, I can't see it
going in the other way. I'm sure you would try to help it.
Yeah, I don't doubt that at all. Audaciaus Amber wants to know is
it true dog me In and Bigfoot work together. I'llly answer to that one
for you, Audacious Amber or Amber. In most cases, it seems like
these guys normally will mix like oil and water. But there have been cases
where people have seen them together working together. So I think most of the
time not, but sometimes yes. The next question is from where was that
question? Okay from Chris Chris to say, wants to know do the birds
and bugs go quiet when a cryptid is present? Thanks fantastic, Thank you
Chris for the question. God bless you man. So so if someone does
want to go to our TikTok two of the videos that we found that we
we we ran last week. We were live on site just doing a doing
a quick video. We've did a promo for this show bitch Yay. But
we were out there and there were the birds were so loud that they were
it was getting on our nerves. The birds were so loud, and that's
the that's one. And then somebody sends in and they said, was that
a tree knocket? Two minutes and fifty seconds in it was. And then
we and somebody else says, I saw one, and so we start standing
through them and we actually found that's where we found the mom and pub.
We also found a side squash. I'm telling you right now, and you're
exactly your own to something. Sometimes it does I think that's when they're in
hunt mode. This is going to really upset some people. But a lot
of the times when we take a lot of the best photos, the sounds
of nature are just going on just like normal. So don't not photograph because
it's not quiet. Don't let that play. If it gets if it goes
totally quiet, do photograph. Dude. You may get some good pictures,
but don't refrain from photographing. And these creatures are looking for them just because
animals are making a noise. That is a myth. I can absolutely guarantee
you that's one of the things we've learned from photographing. When we get almost
as many of them, whether it's quiet or whether it's not. But great
question. Oh yeah, the episode he was talking about when we were out
a couple of weeks ago, we could because of the move, we did
not know where our little heell Mike was at, so we had the phone
on triline and videotape in him and yeah, the birds were so loud that
it was almost hard to hear him talking. And he's got a very loud
voice that can carry for miles. But yeah, we've had some that,
you know, as it has gone quiet. Our first uh oh, well,
the first day we were out it was and we saw some very well,
well, it got some very good pictures that day, but you know,
most of the time, Yeah, our answer would be if it goes
stone cold silent, there's a good chance their crypt is around. But if
it's not, why it doesn't mean there aren't. That is at myth.
They can be around and the sounds of nature can be going out just like
normal. Guarantee it no matter what anybody finished, not trying up to anyone,
But that's back see it all the time. You too, sure of
putting a lot of good info out tonight. I'm impressed you really are.
You're welcome. It looks like the truth is another question for you. He
wants to know you guys seem healthy. Do you think people with an illness
or a handicap or sieve you know, one of our you know, just
like we say on the cover of our book. And if something we say
a lot, this kind of thing will rock your world. Be The real
problem is as much mentally trying to comprehend what you've seen and experiencing. And
if someone in poor health, say a poor hard or bad heart or whatever.
If somebody sees one of these things and hasn't been told they're out there,
then they're you know, the they wind up having to run a long
distance or or just even we call it in the South, I use a
lot of slang, but we call it wrap your brain around. It's hard
to wrap your brain around these things, especially when you know, and someone
in poor health could potentially have a heart attack or uh you know, obviously
it's gonna it's gonna it's gonna freak anybody out. I don't know, but
but yeah, we do. We do try to stay up. When Brenda
and I got married a little over a year ago, I waited two fifty
three and I waited one eighty nine. Now, so uh, it's not
we haven't been hiking that much. I've been dieting, but part of it
is where we could enjoy the hiking more because I was at bread first.
Well you lost a lot of weight, yes, I did. It was
Brenda's cooking. Well, well, just kids, we laugh. I know
he really doesn't cook so so. But I've been intentionally dieting big but part
of it is to just be able to enjoy more time out in the woods.
So well, that's always good motivation right there. Well, it's almost
time for us to get out of here, but before we do, would
you like to plug your book one last time? Yeah? Absolutely, uh
Boots the big Foot Finders. The best place to find us or anything about
us is that website www dot the Bigfootfinders dot com. We're not just all
about bigfoot on TikTok. We share everything and I absolutely positively guarantee you that
you find all cryptids the same way you find bigfooted don't be in the same
way. Once you learn how to find these cryptids, the book tells exactly
how we do it. We don't recommend anybody to do it, but you
can find out all about us on our website www dot the Bigfootfinders dot com.
Please check us out on TikTok and share. We are trying to grow
and get the word out and there will be another book telling at the end
of the year that will be more focused towards dog Man. Absolutely, we're
doing a multi cryptid book that kind of beat dives into some more controversial things.
So oh wow, that sounds juicy. When that book drops, please
do let me know. I'd love to have you come back on to talk
about it too, absolutely, and help promote it too, of course.
