Excellent? Awesome? That's good to hear. What makes today so excellent?
Nothing's ruined it yet? Or is there something actually good? Actually things
have already tried to ruin it. But I'm powering through with positivity. I
got a solution to finish in my movies. It looks like excellent, very
good, very good. Anything you can talk about or any timelines available?
Well, I'm gonna go, and Flippy is gonna help me edit the two
I got one of just almost I's got an insert voiceover and a couple other
things and a few corrections. Balancing, and then another one. I got
to do a bunch of voiceover and adn't be rule, and then we're gonna
finish up crappy Little Dreams. It's been in the making fifteen years. Nice.
Nice, So you're gonna be in the neighborhood for a while. Yeah,
I better get all the use I can out of your trailer in the
outbuilding. Then I'm serious about that. I'm gonna use it. I got
to change out the lights in the in the shop, and I don't have
a ladder tall enough, so I'm just gonna move your trailer around and use
that as a standing platform to change out the lights. Sure, sure,
of course, I'll do my best to not go through the roof. You
know, if it does, it only leaks a little bit worse's pretureful.
I love that reaction. That was great. I could do some live podcasts
together, like the last one that water dumped on me and my computer.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Good times man, that was fun,
except for the water in your computer part. Yeah, I couldn't believe
that I was at the brand new maclik throw and like I've gallons water one
over being the computer and it didn't even bother it. Yeah. Well,
Macintosh is a pretty good computer from an understand. I don't have one myself,
but I don't know the people who have them love them. I got
a funny story for you too, real fast before we begin. So Melissa,
my lovely and talented wife, was out of town recently. She flew
back to Pittsburgh to visit her family, and she's from the Pittsburgh area.
And on the way home, she had like a two or three hour layover,
maybe even four hour layover in the Las Vegas airport. You know.
So she's like roaming around checking things out and you know that sort of thing
and wasting time. Basically, you have layover, it's what you do.
You waste time. And then all of a sudden, she started hearing banging
and popping, and so she looked around the corner to see where all the
commotion was. It was thunder down under the like the mail strippers or whatever
that dance around and do their thing. You know, be careful out there
thunder down under. Um, you don't want to cause panic when you're just
trying to spread drop. That's hilarious. Yeah, oh, there she is.
That's what that's what happened? Right, Melissa, your thunder I'm telling
your thunder down understory. Were you scared? Terrified? You were terrified?
So there you go. They stripped down like the gene strings like that whole
thing. So wait, so Bobo here, can you hear this? Here
there? Talk to Melissa for a minute. Melissa, Hey, what's going
on? Bob's were they look in full banana hammocks or are they like still
popless? Oh? No, they were. They had jeans and a button
down shirts. And I couldn't get a good close look because I was probably
about seventy five women away from the dancing. You measured distance, now,
but I measured Yeah, that's all there was where I was like, what's
all the commotion? And I was so tired and just not I'm never excited
to be in the Vegas airport. So but it was pretty funny. Yeah,
I got a little show. But anyway, I'm just getting over a
little flu cold thing. So I'll let you talk to Cliff. Okay,
well, thanks for the report. Yeah, hey, you guys have a
good time. Thanks for let's a good talking to you. The next time
Wedustry talked to you, we're gonna say so how many women away were you
from that big foot you saw right? About two women away? About two
hundred women away. Anyway, that was the last story I wanted to share.
But we have a show to do instead of just hanging out. This
is a Q and A. This is the April Q and A for Bigfoot
and Beyond where we take your questions and answer them. And we we have
a lot of voicemails this week because if if you have a question you would
like to ask us, you can write it to us. You can write
an email if you choose to, but you can also call us and leave
a voicemail for us and ask the question and maybe you'll get to hear your
voice on the air and we'll answer your question. If you do want to
do that, you can go to BIGFOOTO Beyond podcast dot com and just follow
the links there and you can submit your question or your voicemail, and of
course after this we'll be recording a member's version where all the questions come from
members. We have a thriving member community out there, it's called Beyond Bigfoot
and Beyond, and if you want to become a member, go to the
website Bigfoot Beyond Podcast dot com and just follow the links. It's good stuff.
You can an extra forty five minutes or so of content every single week.
And of course, you know, if you don't know what I'm talking
about with with these things called websites and all that, you are welcome to
just click the link in the show notes and will to bring you right there.
Matt Prude has set that up for your convenience. All right, so
let's jump into the first question. Then, what do we have? Hey,
Cliff and Bobo. This is Eric here in Kansas City, Hi,
And this is my son who's six years old and who does not want to
tell you his name, but he wants to ask you a question. What
is the difference between a sasquatch and a hairy man like the hairy man up
in Alaska. He thinks it's just because of the larger size purportedly of Harry
Man, but he wants to know what your opinion is. Anyhow, we
love you, guys. We listened to big Foot and Beyond every week.
We actually end up singing your theme song on the way to school, and
we also watch a good number of Finding Bigfoot reruns. Anyway, thanks so
much, you guys are awesome and keep it squatchy, all right, Eric,
thank you very much for that question. Eric, and the nameless one.
Yeah, I mean they're basically the same. It's just the matics.
It's those regional names. The harry Man call'm harry Man down here too,
as a matter of fact, I mean tribes down here, fotam is harry
mannock. That's one of the common that's probably the most common translation. When
you take the Native Naga, cherry Man's parably the most common. And there
might be a little bit bigger. So you know, the brisbee embarrass and
blackberriers get bigger, and elk and mousson all that. The further north you
go. The Bergman's rule or law where the further north you go, the
temperature they have they get bigger, so they have left Peperastarry to get cold,
desolinitely different. So that same though, yeah, exactly the same thing.
Sasquatch, of course, is an English version of the co Salish term
that is pronounced approximately sasket approximately like that. But I don't I don't pronounce
it well. I've got a heavy accent when I try to say it,
and I in fact, when I was on the Sahla's Reserve in British Columbia.
UM welcome there as a guest. By this to Hales's people when we
were filming with Finding big Foot, they were saying, no, Cliff,
that this is how you say it. And then they would say the word
and I would say saskt and they go, no, no, it's not
quite like that. It's like this, and they we'd go back and forth
and they'd smiled at my lack of ability of saying that word. Say,
of course JW. Burns, the teacher, the white guy teacher that was
on the reserve back in the nineteen twenties. Bastardized it into English, which
is how the word sasquatch was born. And of course Harry Man is very
often it's the way that that whatever. Oh by the way, it's a
Co Salish word, and up in Alaska probably not Co Salish people, right.
Maybe maybe the language groups are related. I don't really know, but
they would call it something that would probably translate over to Harry Man. I
think is probably the thing, But I don't think there's any difference. It's
just like what Bobo said, Man, just local names, you know.
That'd be my guest just like in North America we referred to Bobo as Bobo,
but in Indonesia they referred to him as the Undertaker, which is true.
By the way, they all thought he was the undertaker. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, not like the local guy that deals with corpses.
I think they want to be fair. I'm not hundred percent sure about
that. No, they thought I was the wrestler. He's like six ten
or something. I'm like six three. Yeah, we didn't look nothing alike.
I don't know. Yes, to them, we all looked alike big
gringos. Yeah, you're six foot ten. When you're wearing your personality,
you tower over everybody else. All right, Well, there you go,
Eric and the Nameless One. I hope that answers your question. Let's go
to the next question. Hey, Cliff, Bobo, and Pruett. My
name's Mike. I'm twenty years old. I'm originally from Northern New Jersey.
I love you guys. It was a huge fan of the TV show.
It's kind of the reason why I got into this whole subject in the first
place. You guys are kind of my heroes in a sense. I love
the podcast as well, love the membership benefits It really means a lot to
me to be able to listen to you guys chop it up twice a week.
I really look forward to it. My question was kind of surrounding Siberia.
Obviously, you guys were never able to make it out there for the
show. I don't know if either of you have been there at any point,
but I kind of just wanted to know your thoughts on could Siberia hold,
you know, a larger population of these whatever these things are, than
say British Columbia, or in Alaska or you know, Washington, Oregon,
northern California wherever. I just wanted to kind of gauge your thoughts on could
Siberia have the most of these relic hominids hamanoids anywhere on Earth? Because it's
a large area, lots of habitat, very little human activity going on.
So yeah, I just kind of wanted to gage your thoughts on that.
Love you guys, Thank you, We love you too. You know,
we should look it up real quick, but i'd imagin who with Siberias with
size of British Columbia, California a loutick combined, it is huge. Yeah.
Yeah, well, and I know that they have something like I just
did a quick email search because I've got I've been I've gone back and forth
with a lot of people about this, and here's a very very quick thing
says. I'm a published author through the University of Washington Press. I work
with the Ulchi people, Ulchi Ulchi people of southeastern Siberia. I have some
very interesting information about bigfoot in the area. If you're interested in contact me.
So anyway, Yeah, there is stuff going on in there. They're
absolutely is stuff going on in there. And it's such a big area.
And if they crossed over the land bridge at some point in North America,
which seems to be the most plausible explanation for the presence here, they're certainly
in Siberia. Just said nobody very very well. No, I can't say
nobody, but very very few people are out there looking. It's kind of
like, you know, going to Nepal or something. The people they're just
taking for granted that the yeties are around, and they're busy surviving. They're
busy grown potatoes and you know, making sure that there are staying alive and
doing you know, they've got more practical things on their mind than showing people
on another continent that something is real when they know it's real already, doesn't
seem like a real good use of their time. Siberia's nine times as big
as a Laska. Yeah, it's ridiculous. They're certainly up there. They're
certainly up there. But the problem with all with going to look for him.
So he got to go to Russia, you know, and that's not
easy and nor is it safe for that. For that matter, one of
our producers had film there, and he told us that if we ever had
the chance, if the show had ever planned something in Russian, we are
gonna go to Russia to film. He would absolutely not go there under any
circumstances, based on his previous experiences in Russia and mostly is a corruption and
that sort of stuff. And he told us a story about like, you
know, obviously, if you're going to another country, especially Russia, all
your eyes are dotted, all your teaser crossed, like you have all your
permits, you have everything in order. You don't mess around, you don't
you don't do anything outside the lines, man, because they're probably watching.
You don't do anything out of the ordinary. So, of course, and
that's what they did. So in the morning. They left the hotel one
morning, and of course the concierge saw them leaving and probably made a phone
call, because shortly afterwards out in the square police ruled them. Police came
up and said, we need to see your permits, which wasn't a problem
because of course they had all their permits. They're in Russia, you know.
They handed the permits over and the cops kind of rifle through the paperwork
and they said, okay, well and they kind of like look around.
They see a tripod standing there. We need we need to see your permit
for that tripod and they point to the tripod and then they go, well,
what do you mean that tribe? Where's their permit for that tripod?
And so we don't need to for that trade? Are you telling me I
don't know my laws? And well no, no, but so where's a
permit? So we don't we won't have a permit for that try and the
long and short of it, if I remember correctly the number, it was
like a ten thousand dollars fine paid directly to the police officer instead of the
state. So that's the kind of thing that you're dealing with when you're going
to Russia the film stuff. So no matter how many big foots are in
Siberia, no thank you is my thought. I did contact the guy.
I can't remember the thinam he won Survivor. I think it's I think it
was the survivor too. Then he went into the Arctic, and this guy
had lived with I think it was three years, one of those indemendous tribes
in northern Siberia, and he was on Joe Rogan experience. People would I'm
sure all people heard that. But I contacted him and he said he'd never
heard anything from them, mentioned anything about Harryman or five people, creatures or
any guys are reindeer herders, which I found it. I found s priving.
I find that surprising too. Maybe this isn't asked the right question.
Maybe these people were hiding him from him, or maybe it's true. You
know, who knows, I've never asked. I think that might be a
lot of it right there. You don't ask, you know, why would
they tell you? All Right? Well, I hope that helps Mike.
I hope that it helps your curiosity there. And of course we love northern
New Jersey, really squatch area, and it's a beautiful area that blew my
mind. I had no idea in New Jersey was like that, So it
was a privilege to camp there. You know, I hear all these miracle

All right, let's go to the next question. Hey Cliff bo, It's
me and Mike. Hey, you guys doing today? Have you guys are
all doing well. Hey Matt, My question for you guys today is it's
been foggy here in eastern Pennsylvania where I live. And I know Bigfoot half
fantastic eyesight in just distance and singing the dark and just everything. It's the
great eyes in general. But do you think they are as hindered in fog
as we are? So maybe you could use it as opportunity of going out
Walt's foggy and then one having to get a little bit closer than it normally
would just to see what's going on. I always wondered about that, and
I'm hoping curious to get your guy response. Also, me and my girlfriend
are going out today in the woods with my therm and sound recorder, so
hopefully we got some action tonight. Keep you guys posted, keep a squatchy.
I love that you answered him, Bobo, when he asked how we're
doing, you said good. I really like the I know you guys swept
up in the moment. He's like, yeah, Mike's my bro, and
he is he is. He's our BFF oor bigfoot friend. Thank you Mike
for that question. What do you think, Bobo? I've got some thoughts,
But what do you think first, Okay, so does fog hinder sasquatches
anyway? Well, certainly it hinders their eyesight. You know, they're not
seeing well even if a red wouldn't go through that, you know, so
predator vision doesn't work there. Not that they have that, but you know
what I mean. But so, I think in some ways it might hinder
them. But in other words, I think that they use it. I
think that they know that we can't see that well in it, and they
might use it to their advantage. But there's one way that I think that
the fog would help them quite a bit is because I don't think I don't
think that they are watching us as much as other bigfooters seem to think they
watch us. I don't think that they are watching us with their eyes.
I do think that they are observing us, though. I think that they
observe us by hearing, by listening for us, and keeping track of where
we're going and moving and what we're doing by listening to us. And I
think they can tell a lot about what we're doing by listening. And I'm
basing this on not only interactions that I've had with what I think are sasquatches.
But in August, when some folks from the NABC saw one at one
of our research spots, they made sure to duck out of sight and sit
down and not move and make noise, and it caused the three animals that
were following them. This is before they knew what was following them, by
the way, they didn't know what quite what it was. They would sit
down for a while, and then these other animals whatever they were up on
the ridges. It would be quiet for a while. Then they start moving,
and they moved in such a way that the three guys that were out
there kind of said, you know, it seemed like they were looking for
us. And when we stood up and started moving again and make noise,
then they kind of went back into their more relaxed following mode. But for
a while they seemed a little concerned that they lost track of us. And
you know, that's an interpretation, but you know, it might be a
valid one. And also I've noticed over the years a sasquatches really really like
to hang out, or at least they seem too, in my opinion,
They really like to hang out in places that are very very quiet, very
quiet. You know, the blueberry bog is extraordinarily quiet at night. You
could hear things moving around the other side of the bog, which is probably
like a quarter mile away. You know, the place where I saw one
in North Carolina, that's one of the things I remember about that is a
big, shallow bowl where it was very, very quiet. So I think
that they are tuned into us by listening for us. And of course sound
travels better in fog, you know, with the moisture in the air and
the density of the air, the sound travels quite a bit better in fog
sometimes, So I think that that's something that we could speculate on with some
level of safety as far as speculation goes. Those are my thoughts. What
about you, bubs, Well, I know that they use it, and
who knows, I'm about to use it all over the place that I know
on the coast, they definitely use it because the thickest fog nights, they'll
find big foot tracks going down digging clams or picking muscles or something off the
rocks when they cross the beaches. It's always when it's really foggy. Yeah,
yeah, it seems like they. I think they would use that to
their advantage. I think they use the sound of rivers to their advantage.
I think they use the sound of us walking. They think about it.
How many stories have you heard where you're walking and the thing walks, but
when you stop, it stops. They're very tuned in. They use audio
camouflages, especially use visual camouflage. They definitely a push more. If you
got a rushing river, they'll come right up near your camp for sure.
Yeah, so I think very likely fog is a good cover for them.
Well, there you go, Mike. That's our thoughts on fog for you,
and we hope that you get something in the woods. Of course,
if you get anything of interest, we're more than happy to either look or
listened to it. He can send it to the email. So yeah,
good luck out there, all right. Next question, then my two favorite
squatchers. It's Trent from Virginia again. And first off, yeah, that
theme song is just nasty. I think it's a ride pattern and the accents.
It's got this like jazzy drag to it. It's just tasty. The
recent Lepidopterus guest was so cool. It was really comforting listen to someone talk
about something more grounded in science and not having to take things with a grain
of salt or just be like, I gotta fact check that I could just
simply devour it. It was awesome. He actually discovered a couple of new
species. Wow, Cliff. He asked if he named it, and I
thought, holy moly, the beast with many names is yet to be named
by science. So I'm gonna take a crack at it and wait for it.
It's a real zinger. Homo misanthropists from miss miss entropy. I'm sure
you'll have a few tucked away if you're willing to share, but I wanted
to plant that seed. Cheers Fellows' is Trent love you guys. Everybody seems
to really love the theme song. That's other than that. Homo anthropists.
That's funny. That's funny because you know, anthrow you know means it means
man. Of course, Miss misanthrope is someone who doesn't really like human society.
I guess I'm kind of a misanthrope in some sort of way. But
that's definitely a funny thing. I would take an issue with the genus.
I don't think it's homo. I think it's more Australopithecus or paranthropists. Boach
course is the predecessor to Homo, because the next one in line, as
far as we know at this point in the game, with our fossil record
being incomplete as it is, is Homo habilists. So they were the last
of these things before Homo showed up. But yeah, maybe they are.
Maybe they are Homo some sort, in which case I love the idea of
Homo misanthropists. That's hilarious. I love it. Now all you need to
do is, I guess, kill one and bring it in and maybe you
can name it. Get over that little bump and we can he can get
on top of that. And of course krantz Um speculated that these things are
gigantos, and I think he named his name that he put out there was
Gigantopithecus cannon densis. I think if remember, right, Blocke, you're right,
Well, Blackie is the species that we already do know, But if
it was here, it'd probably be a different species, and you know,
evolved another couple hundred thousand years or more, so it might be a different
one. But so crants throughout Canadensis basically the North American, which is you
know, Canada, more or less translated to something like that so North American
Gigantipithecus. Right, I guess we can't name it till we know what it
is more. Yeah, pretty much, that's exactly right. We can't name
it because we don't know what these things are yet, and depending on what
these things are, it could go all sorts of different ways, you know,
all right? How about the next question? Hello Cliff, Hello Bobo.
My name is Matthew from eastern Oklahoma, not that far from Area X.
I have a question relative to birds. I love all things sasquatch.
Clearly, I have read and studied and listened to you guys enough. I
am convinced sasquatch exist, and I love hearing all I can about them.
But I am really a bird. Birds are what takes me outdoors a lot,
out into what I think would be sasquatch habitat. My question that is,
relative to sasquatch and birds in your vast experience. Do you have any
experiences or data or stories you've heard relative to sasquatch and birds, perhaps predator
prey dynamics, mimicry symbioses at some level. I would just be curious because
I love birds. Also, do either of you love birds as you are
out and about. Do you consider yourself birdwatchers bird followers? And if so,
do you have a favorite bird? Again, you guys do great work.
Really appreciate you, and I love listening to your podcast. I'm sitting
down now to listen to your two hundredth episode with Doctor Meldrum. Thanks a
lot, guys, talk to you later. By bye. Well, if
you're listen to the podcast, you know I'm a bird lover. We had
Sergio parakeet, right, Sergio, Poor Sergio. Do we have time to
play the Sergio Lament? Yeah? Let let's take a listen to the sad
Sergio Lament his his funeral song real fast. That is how much we love
birds. By the way, so so you had to break into the house
to save parakeets. Yeah, and so when you found the parakeet, what
condition was it in? It look pretty bummed out? Can you hear that
bird? Surgial the para. He's sitting here quiet all day, and she's
like, whenever I get on the computer, he starts squawking, talking and
chirping. I think he's cuter. I'd kill him. We miss you,
Danner, Sergio, shut up? Hey. In Memoriam of the greatest bird
in all of podcasting, Sergio, that's a tear jerker, man, I
was getting a little watery. Yeah, I bet man, But far birds
um. I heard from natives, older natives that they up in Washington,
especially in Midwest, that the young squatch of climb trees and thick birdsman for
at night when they're roosting, and they also raided the eggs. Um.
There's examples of them, like, there's the stories. I was it John
Green's book, the classic sketch of the one holding a stick that I was
using to catch ducks and bees and upon like and we're gonna need them to
just pulling them down like like a shark coming up and just taking them under
water. Yeah, I think that drawing if I remember that drawing from the
Bender Noogle book. I think it was in there for sure. It might
have been in John Green's book too, though I don't remember. Yeah,
there's there's there's there's a lot of pretty thing on turkeys and treathing and get
them on the ground during the daytime. I've heard a few stories of that,
like throwing rocks and sticks at them. It makes sense that, do
you. I mean they're omtivors, they can climb, they got hands.
It makes sense they utilized exploit that resource, you'd think. So, you
know, it's something that I take note of in the field with birds is
when birds are making a bunch of noise in an area, sometimes it means
in animals moving through the area. I kind of picked up on that from
from a hunter friend of mine. That's one of the things that sometimes he
uses to locate where deer might be moving through because the birds will make a
racket sometimes when animals are doing that. I do think the sasquatches might be
imitating birds. I don't know this, but I have I was getting Knox
one night at a place up in Gifford Pinchow National Forests many years ago.
It's getting Knox from two different directions, and and then and then they heard
a really weird owl noise that was kind of close to the ground, kind
of one of these long who o who like that kind of stuff. But
it was low to the ground and you know, might have been an owl.
I don't know, but that but the Knox kind of stopped before that
thing was there, before that owl quote unquote air quote owl was there.
But I've often wondered like maybe that was something imitating an owl, or maybe
it's just an owl, you know, who knows, who knows. So
there's also that Well, I've heard them definitely do owl sounds. The last
time I heard it was for sure. It was about three years ago in
the Salmon River. I told it on the podcast actually, but it was
it was just real owls hooting. And then this like they say, the
eight hundred pound dollar one, and every time that one did it, dogs
down in the River valley went ranging barking, barking, barking, like really
grew us really heroically, and they never barked when they heard the normal owl
of sounds. I think my favorite bird now is the California condo, and
I saw it. I've seen it once now. But by which fact,
the Urrock tribe is retroducing them to northern California and they're gonna go up in
the southern Oregon. They'll sprought up, you know, up and down the
post line. But so seeing those things with the ten foot wingspan is awesome.
Oh yeah, that'd be fantastic. Yeah, I think my favorite bird
is a Charlie Parker. Ah yeah. But in all seriousness though, I'm
I don't really trust birds, you know. I mean, if we're small,
we'd be food, you know. So I especially don't trust goals for
some reason. But um, the birds I do like. I'm a big
fan of owls. It turns out I really enjoy owls of all sorts,
the little guys, the big guys. I like the sounds. I like
that. I like pretty much everything about those things. So I'm a big
fan of that flavor of raptor I like. I like, Uh, you
ask if we're birders, but I always say when I get a little bit
to start birdie, I'm like, well, I'm hold down, and I
keep saying I actually get into birding because that's a good way to go squatch
and you know, killing two birds with one stone. But if you like
birds, you don't want to kill two birds that's one stone. See.
But oh, now they tell me there's somebody dead birds laying around my property.
Now I know. But the birds are cool, man. I appreciate
them. Yeah, I appreciate them them, yeah, until they get inside
house. Um. We have a couple of bird identification bird books lying around
on our coffee table upstairs in our living room because we have some nice windows
that look out into the woods. And I've actually had the notice that the
new, the new flush of birds is in. The seasons are changing the
spring right now, so we have a whole new host of birds poking around
the yard. Now we've seen some of our friends, Oh what are those
things? They're not they're not woodpecker has been the same family there. Of
course, I'm trying to say it and I draw a blank. Doesn't matter.
Well, we've seen a whole bunch of new bird species popping in here
because spring is right around the corner. So pretty excited about that. We've
got some binoculars out there by the window. We have the bird I D
books. So yeah, yeah, we do a little bit of birding.
It's not really my focus, but I definitely do a little bit of that.
It's such about it. I hope that I hope that answers your question
there, Matthew, Um, keep a squatchie out there with the birds and
let us know what we can do for you. And then that let's go
to the next question. Hey, clipfand Bobo, I'll left to you guys
a question on one of your last few and days and forgot to leave you
my name, how rude to me, but it's blue from its squash and
choose. It's just outside the Boston area. But my question is this time,
so I recently drove all the way from the Boston area to Florida and
driving through Virginia, West Virginia and the Carolinas, and then even when you
get to Florida, off the highway, there's just so much woods just for
miles and miles. And my question is how frequently are those areas explore?
Because I feel like a lot of sightings are off of highways and I feel
like it's such a hard area to access to go camping or you know,
hunting or anything. So do you guys think that Bigfoot's often these animals live
in those wooded areas because I feel like it's they're just so secluded and hard
to get to. Anyways, love the show as always and look forward to
hearing your answer. They're they're right under our nose, man, and you
know when there's miles and miles of woods on both sides of the highway,
sure they're moving through there. I don't think highways scare them at all.
I think that they know how to navigate around it. And I think they
know how to stay out of sight and know how to feel safe, which
as is I think the whole point they're not. I mean, sure they're
trying to avoid this, but I think the main thrust is they're trying to
feel safe. And if nobody knows you're there, that's probably the safe as
they can be. They're certainly there, they are absolutely certainly there. There's
lots and lots of road crossings and most sidings I think are campers, but
the second highest road crossings or road roadside sidings, and that's probably because that's
where the people are. You know, you have to have a siding,
you have to have a person there and a sasquatch, So where's a person
most likely to be on the road, on the trail, that sort of
stuff, which is why they mostly happened there. But if a sasquatch happens
to cross a road, it was coming from somewhere going somewhere else, and
these big tracks of unoccupied land would be just prime places for them to hang
out and they would have no concerns because most people aren't getting out of their
cars and looking over the side of the rail or anything like that. They're
just driving by. Yeah, that's my thought, and so sure, yeah,
of course sasquatches would be in there. That would be an obvious place
for them to hang out because people just don't go there. They just don't
go there. Think about any if you live in the woods or you live
near the woods your drive today, think of the number of square miles you
passed by that no one is bothering being in right now. You know.
Sure it might be quote unquote explored. Yeah, it might be mapped.
People might have been there before, but were people there today? The woods?
The woods are mostly empty, kind of like the ocean. When I
was a big fisher person, dude, guy an angler, they would always
say ninety percent of the fish live in ten percent of the ocean, and
I think that's true of forests too. The forests are largely empty and the
animals move around in it to where they're wherever the resources are at the time.
Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bow. We'll be
right back after these messages. Say we got our last spot smail question here,
Hey Cliff, Hey Bobo, this is Dylan coming from Arizona for Bobos.
How'd you lose all your weight. There's a clear difference from the beginning
of finding a big Foot to the end of finding big Foot. Thanks for
your time and good luck with your life. I'm glad you asked that question
to him because you can see me a lot of responses when I get my
Facebook page to get asked out at least ten times a week. YEP.
I lost over one hundred pounds, like about one hundred and ten hundred and
fifteen about And it was hell. It was super hard. I used to
have to cut weight for wrestling and stuff like that, and I used to
race our canoes, so I did it before. Like I've taught like a
lot of weight in the past. Like I got down like one seventy eight
for a tournament when I was playing playing football, like two thirty. It's
like I have to cut weight, but it was always temper or you know,
then you just forge up to your weight in you know, you seasons
over, you just eat like a pink aganza. There's definitely a whole mindset
change, and it sucked. I mean, no no doubt about. Do
you have to have a set like that mindset you're going to warlike like that's
how I did it like and I cut out pizza, chips, cookies,
so and uh, one of the biggest ones were like soda chips, cookies
and beer and pizza. That was part of the It still sucks. It's
it's hard. I mean I indulge here and there, but it sucks.
And I also did Uh, I dipped on the elliptical machines a lot.
But yeah, you can, you can do it. Yeah. You know,
it was a surprise to me, um because at the end of one
run, you know, it was kind of the big bobs and then when
we came back, you cut your hair, you lost all that weight.
It was it was a it was a big surprise for me as well.
Um, and I do get asked that probably every week in the museum,
you know, and my canned responses that you know, you can't live like
you're twenty five when you're fifty five. Although Bobo gave it a good college
try forty five. Well, I suppose are you forty five? Albubs Uh
No, your birthday's coming. That was close well, nonetheless none less.
That's kind of my canned response for when people ask that's where all the age
and the answer rumors all came from Yeah, and you're in your persistent death
rumors. I heard you were dead again, by the way, just this
past week. But it doesn't seem like it to me. We've gone quite
a few times. But I get it. I mean sometimes, look,
they're right exactly. Yeah, it's some sort of a you're some sort of
undead. The rumors make sense. Yeah, they do make sense, And
it's nice to know that people care about you. Yeah, but yeah,
I think that you're you're it's a life change. It's a life change.
You started eating well, and you also have the advantage of living right there
on the beach because beach walking is not easy. And yeah, Monkey was
alive at the time, so those walks and stuff with Monkey made her appy,
like, kept you slim and active. Yeah, just a lot of
things kind of came together, and um, the fact that you you've kept
it all off, it's just amazing. Bob's proud of you. It's a
great step towards longevity and general health and well being. You feel you feel
better now, No, I don't feel that much better. No, it
was like I feel greater, Like I don't feel great at off. I
feel a little better. My knees are way better. That's for sure.
My back issues are better. That's the two things that I notice the most.
Well, hopefully it is better, you know. It's just like,
imagine how you'd be feeling now if you didn't lose all that weight though.
Yeah, none of us, we're not spring chickens anymore, Bobs. No,
all right, Well, I think we have a little bit of time.
Should we do one or two written questions here, Bobs before we sign
off? Yeah, I thought we were done. Let's do it. So
I think that was just the last audio one. But here's one. Here's
a written one from a Samuel K. And he says, pick a big
footing power. One ability to produce pre mixed cast plaster from your fingers,
two thermal vision as good as your daytime eyesight. Or three be a human
audio recorder and record exactly as heard and transferred through a brain chip to a
device. Okay, so Samuel is asking to hear about a superpower. If
we could have a superpower basically creating plaster out of our fingertips at will,
thermal vision, or being a human audio recorder of some sort, what do
you think, Well, if the thermal recorder, that'd obviously be that,
but that doesn't record. But the auto recorder audio is the easiest thing for
us to get. That's that we can do better than we came with our
own senses. I mean, if you spent twenty thirty grand on the audio
clipping, like you know, with parabolic disians playing all in the right,
you know you've got a three to sixty sound with parabolics. And then I
have some you know, really good recorders out you know, an indirectional you
know, so many differance like every half mile mile and that's a really hot
spot that they vocalize a lot and pen point triangulate and have sounds with him
and eats. Even here, it would be a ton of work. I
went through a little much of data. I mean, you have to have
a team or in a really good AI program, but uh I figured doubt.
I think you'd get locals minds. So you're going with number three would
be a human audio recorder and record exactly as heard and transferred through a brain
chip to a device. We don't use good enough elipment to do that,
and so we'll never hear what we hear almost ever. But you know,
we have to also think if we are bestowed one of these big footing powers.
They could be used outside of big footing as well. I'd go with
thermal for sure. Yeah. I think i'd have to go with thermal vision
as well, because i'd like as good as my daytime I sight. Um,
yeah, i'd probably have to do that. Although there's something you know,
I'm kind of drawn towards that, the ability to produce pre mix casting
plaster from my fingers. Think about of the sculpts that I could make.
You know, i'd be a master of bird baths for example. Yeah,
yeah, kind of a shout back, a shout back to Matt you from
Oklahoma there, Um, like our birder who asked a question a little while
ago. Imagine the bird baths I'd be able to create if I can just
make pre mixed plaster from my fingertips. But it might be one of those
key Midas situations where you know, I turned Melissa into like this in case
plaster thing or whatever, so I'll buy a copy, I suppose. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, I don't want to turn I don't want to turn
Melissa to gold, you know, or plaster or something there it is you
don't want to turn into the plaster she is, isn't she just the best?
Man? I love her so much. Yeah, I've used thermal in
the daytime, and your eyesight is so much better than thermal than the daytime.
It's not even funny. Yeah, I know a guy who uses the
thermsturing the day to see, you know, because the animals jump out to
you a little bit more like they stand out against the background even during the
day it's cool, not in summer wherever there's plays of hot rocks or glowing
hotter than the power or whatever. Yeah, yeah, it could be problematic.
Yeah, so I don't know. I'm going to go with number two.
Thermal vision as good as my daytime eyesight all close. Second is that
plaster thing, just because that's weird and I like it. I'm going two
three one, Yeah, because I'd almost never get a chance. I mean,
how often do you find foot and get the cast footprints? Not very
often? You know, I've been doing it more than most lately because we've
gotten what four or five different casts from this small area that we're working.
But that's over two and a half years. You know, a superpower could
be used more often than that. I think, well, I think you
need to use it. Probably recreations. Yeah, that save me a lot
of money, wouldn't it. Yeah, in time money. I mean that
hydrocal that I buy has gone up a lot. I was gonna say,
it's gotta be two it. Yeah, it's like fifty bucks a bag.
With the supply shortage thing, man is, it's going nuts right now.
I buy them in fifty pound bags. So like two hundred pounds of plaster
for two hundred bucks or something like that, I give or take a little.
That's a lot of money, man, it is. And how much
does each cast? About two pounds? Three pounds? Now it's more more
like I think it's more like five. Well, it depends on the size,
you know. I don't remember. I don't remember what it is,
but I think when we ship them out we put a six pound thing on
there. But I could be wrong about that. Isn't the Goliath flipprint like
eight or nine or something? The big Goliath one? Oh, that one's
really Yeah, that one's really heavy and big. And of course you can
also mix the plaster denser or less dense as you would want, you know,
So I don't know. Yeah, plaster has gotten really really expensive,
so I would save a lot of them. Yeah, okay, I guess
that settles it all, right, Samuel. After some consideration, I'm gonna
have to go with a pre mix plaster from my fingertips at will. Though
it has to be at will, it can't be on accident. The thing
is, I take all these questions so seriously. I want to make sure
I give a thorough answer and get it really really give it some thought.
Right. We got one more written question before we move on to Beyond big
Foot and beyond for the members of Pahreon group. But what's the slough when
we got here? Oh, Chris Gilly. Sometimes when I'm out driving I
see their vehicles with Southquak peaklis. Is there a hand sign that I can
flash to their driver to let them know that we are part of the same
tribe. That's a good one. There should be. If there isn't,
I don't think there is, but there definitely should be. Everything's taken hmmm,
But what you want to make one up? Right now? Let's takes
some thought. Obviously, listen to this podcast is a genius, So we
got a lot of geniuses out there. One of the geniuses let us know
would be easy to recognize hands on. It isn't going to be mistaken for
a known one already. Yeah, So go ahead and video your tape,
videotape, you're on your phone, you know, film yourselves doing some sort
of hand sign for the other big footers out there. And this is this
is important to me because I drive a Jeep and jeep people always wave to
each other. I didn't know that for a while. It kind of confused
and scared me for the first couple of months I had to geep. But
now that I've driven it for a while, I realize what's going on.
Jeep people, people who drive wranglers always signal to one another as an acknowledgement
of oh, you're cool too, and that's what we're trying to do here.
So if you have an idea for a hand signal to show the world
that you're a bigfoot and to recognize one another, film yourself doing it and
email it to the show and maybe we'll do something cool with it. Well
I think probably we'll do something cool with it. Oh heck, we're gonna
do something cool with it. Bigfoot to be on podcast at Gmail. There
it is people, there's our April q na If you would like to ask
