00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:27.719
True the footprints, namely their remarkable
consistency, their biomechanical appropriateness, spanning the

2
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.159
entire globe, involving hundreds of different
cultures, explaining the same phenomenon by different

3
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.280
names. At some point you have
to go, even as the night if

4
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.200

20
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.439
How are you doing? I'm hanging

21
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.159
Yeah man, yeah man. So
thank you again so much for joining joining

22
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.599
me today. Dana's not here.
Dana's Dana's working, guys. She I

23
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.359
do a lot of these these media
one solo um, but she she wants

24
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.040
to get in and she gets jealous
when we do these. But uh,

25
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.319
Brian, you've been so busy.
I mean, you're like, you're just

26
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.840
super duper. You're it's it's I
just I don't know how you keep up

27
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.360
with it. It is definitely a
full time job, man, But it

28
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.719
is the best thing I've ever done. I love it, you know,

29
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.120
you know, and I've talked about
that so many times, about how how

30
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.120
much I enjoy what I get to
do every day. So if you do

31
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:30.159
what you love, it's not work. So you know what we're gonna do

32
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.919
today, Brian we're gonna we're gonna
chat about everything that you're doing. Uh

33
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.439
So the audience some some already know
who you are, so may not know

34
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.520
who you are. So we may
have some new members out there and they

35
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.360
may learn something new about you that
they didn't know before. So briefly,

36
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.919
I guess before let's before you get
into the podcast thing and and your channel

37
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.919
on your network. Um, you
know a little bit about you. You

38
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:53.840
know, how'd you get into this? What you know, what'd you do

39
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.400
prior to this? Can you share
that with the audience. Sure, it

40
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.240
seems weird talking about it because I
feel like everybody already knows. But I'll

41
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.680
pretend like I'm talking to that one
person who's never heard this. Before I

42
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.800
started out, you know, I
was in law enforcement for sixteen years.

43
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.919
I have a cop background, so
you know, I didn't really get into

44
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.319
the cryptid thing until after I got
out of law enforcement. You know,

45
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:22.439
I went into law enforcement, and
we got out of that in twenty sixteen.

46
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.479
So I really I was always interested
in the subject of CRYPTI. It's

47
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.120
big Foot in particular. You know, I had some experiences back in the

48
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:36.319
in my childhood that I think maybe
attributable to Sasquatch or Bigfoot. But I

49
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.520
really didn't talk about it when I
was a cop because that's not something you

50
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.919
go to work every day and talk
about, right, you know, I

51
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.240
was prosecuting. I did DUY for
a couple of years. You know,

52
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:50.080
I arrested like the most drunk drivers
in the history of the state of Georgia

53
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.280
for one year. It was like
three hundred and something drunks that I took

54
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.960
off the streets to Georgia. So
you know, when you're doing those those

55
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.879
lawyers dig into your background, right, I mean, that's kind of what

56
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.599
they do. They want to find
some dirt on you to discredit you in

57
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.479
court, and when you're testifying that
many times, with that many DUI cases,

58
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.520
I didn't want to be the guy
known around the precinct as the one

59
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.639
who talked about ghosts and big foot
and UFOs, right, right, So

60
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.879
I kind of suppressed that, honestly, and didn't really talk about it much

61
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.480
until after I got out of the
law enforcement gig in twenty sixteen. And

62
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.759
you know, really in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one is when I really

63
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.360
started buckling down and doing some research
and really taking a look at when we

64
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:36.759
bought forty acres of property here in
rural North Carolina and started having some weird

65
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:42.360
encounters and weird things going on here. So that's sort of when it really

66
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.079
started for me, and I started
going into talking to people and trying to

67
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.480
document some encounters and things like that
in the southeast. And that's that's kind

68
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:54.680
of where the when the show started. Super cool so that the name of

69
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.839
the let's start with the name of
the Highlet's start you have because you've got

70
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.800
more than just one podcast, but
I'll let you share that with you.

71
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.000
But how do you pick the name? I mean, obviously it's a subject,

72
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.639
but you know, did you go
through other other ideas or you know,

73
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.439
absolutely, I mean that's one of
the things I think any podcaster goes

74
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.480
through. What am I going to
call my show? And I've talked about

75
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:16.680
this a couple of times of the
show. Because of the name of the

76
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.279
podcast, you know, the first
thing I did was think, I want

77
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.399
this to be a journey for people. I'm going on a journey. I'm

78
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:30.160
going on this journey for myself to
find these answers. And what's a synonym

79
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.800
for journey? Right? I don't
want to call it sasquats Journey. I

80
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.279
want to call it something else,
a little bit cooler. So what's a

81
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:39.759
journey? Well, I looked at
the word odyssey, right, and I'm

82
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.480
sure you probably went through this.
I know I've done it with Doug when

83
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.959
we were trying to come up with
a name for Weird Encounters on the already

84
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.040
on that work. We spent hours, literally hours going back and forth in

85
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.720
text messages and phone calls with me
and him and Alex and Blaine, just

86
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.759
trying to come up with a name
for that show. So I kind of

87
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.519
did the same thing on and I
started taking a look at googling. You

88
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.199
know what's out there? Is there
something in the zeitgeist already? Is the

89
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:11.360
name used? And I did all
that stuff and the only thing I found

90
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.480
that was called Sasquatch Odyssey was this
movie I think it's called Sasquatch Odyssey The

91
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.480
Hunt for Bigfoot or something like that
back in the nineties. And it's a

92
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:23.079
great documentary, by the way,
exactly I've watched. I just had Henry

93
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.360
Franzoni, who's the drum If you
guys have watched that, he's the drummer

94
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.759
in there. He's out in the
middle of the woods playing the drums.

95
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.439
Henry and I just had an episode. Are we recorded for an episode that's

96
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:36.439
coming up here in the next couple
of weeks. So Sasquatch Odyssey and I

97
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.279
thought, okay, well, you
know, it's a defunct website that's not

98
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.800
being used. I love the name. It resonated with me. I felt

99
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:47.639
very comfortable with it, so I
was like, Okay, we're just gonna

100
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.439
go with that. And then when
the other shows were born, you know,

101
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:56.360
Paranormal Odyssey was born, true Crime
Odyssey was born, because everything really

102
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.920
is a journey, right, no
matter where you were talking about Bigfoot,

103
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.839
whether you're talking about paranormal, where
you're talking about true crime, whatever the

104
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.360
case might be. So it's kind
of become the brand. It's those are

105
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:13.639
like the flagship shows for what eventually
became the Paranormal World Productions Studio Slash Network,

106
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.560
So super cool and for for the
audience, you know. So it's

107
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.920
a little easier for me to pick
a name when we did it. When

108
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:25.079
we know we've got our our one
podcast on on the Untold Radio network.

109
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.879
You know, it's and I just
named it after the book because it's you

110
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.439
know, our podcast is kind of
similar to the same scene ideas. So

111
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.759
but when we came out with this
one, we didn't want it. I

112
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.160
didn't want to name it just the
Bigfoot Influencers and confuse everyone. So Brian,

113
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.160
you know, very gracious for that. He and I kicked around a

114
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.040
bunch of ideas and Dana and we
came out with Out of the Woods with

115
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.120
with the Bigfoot Influencers. So uh
yeah, thanks again to you, Brian

116
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:54.560
for taking me on that odyssey,
that journey with my name of this absolutely

117
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:59.800
and you know, the the nine
hundred pound Guerrilla no pun intended this sort

118
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.800
of out of that was. There
was also a podcast called Bigfoot Odyssey,

119
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.040
right Carry Arnold show, and it
was months and months into the show actually

120
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.399
growing, and when it sort of
got some traction, people started, you

121
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.720
know, posting Facebook groups and stuff
and they were like, where are you

122
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.160
associated with Carrie's show? And I'm
like, I don't know what that is,

123
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.519
so I it was a YouTube channel. Obviously it still exists, you

124
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.959
know, Carry unfortunately passed away,
but the show continues. So there's the

125
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.720
Bigfoot Odyssey in the pair the Sasquatch
Odyssey. They are mutually exclusive. They're

126
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.840
about the same thing, you know, and that's something that I met carry

127
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:37.600
a couple of times. We hung
out at the Smoking a Mountain Bigfoot conference

128
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.120
last year, and we just never
talked about it. We never even joked

129
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.559
about it. You know. It's
just one of those things that we had

130
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.039
that mutual respect for each other and
he stayed in his lane, I stayed

131
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.759
in my lane. You know.
It was primarily That show is still primarily

132
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.679
a YouTube channel, and my show
is we have a YouTube channel as well,

133
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.799
but it's more of an audio based
podcast on the podcast apps. So

134
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:01.240
you know, people have asked me
that, you know, if you ever

135
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.320
did you guys ever talk about that? No, we did. We always

136
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.759
talked about other things, you know, it was always Bigfoot. He was

137
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.440
a huge personality and just a super
cool guy to hang out with, so

138
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.320
it just never came up, you
know, right right, So, how

139
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.919
you know, if I'm if I'm
listening to your show, you know,

140
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.240
what can I expect. We'll just
start with we'll just focus on Sasquatch Odyssey

141
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.440
and then we can we can touch
later on the other ones. But what

142
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.080
can I expect as a listener?
The main thing the show was born out

143
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.600
of encounters That's what it's really all
about. I wanted to give people a

144
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.320
space to come on and share their
encounters with me. I sort of had

145
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.360
a conversation with Todd Prescott recently from
the Sasquatch Archives, and Todd and I

146
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.519
we're talking about it, and you
know, I never really thought of myself

147
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.679
as an archivist, but anybody who
does podcast you really are. You're sort

148
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.440
of an archivist, and whatever genre
that you choose to do your show on,

149
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.320
you're documenting things that are going to
be there in perpetuity. When we

150
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.879
do these episodes and we put them
out there on these podcast apps, unless

151
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.440
we take them down, They're going
to be there a hundred years from now,

152
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.960
you know, potentially a thousand years
from there, who knows. So

153
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.200
that's what it's really all about,
is the encounters from the people who experience

154
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.399
them. The show is people coming
on who have had encounters with what they

155
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.240
believe to be Sasquatch Bigfoot and then
telling their stories in their own words.

156
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.279
We all learn as podcasters. You
know, I probably talked a little bit

157
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.679
more in the beginning of the show
than I should have. I asked too

158
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.440
many questions because I was excited and
I was learning the ropes and figuring out

159
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.320
how to do it. But literally, I tell that every guest that comes

160
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.240
in the show, the show is
about you. It's about your experience,

161
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.120
is about your encounter. I'm gonna
stop talking. I'm gonna let you talk

162
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.679
and tell your story. So if
you're into encounter stories, that's what it's

163
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.200
really all about. I try to
turn my microphone off and just let the

164
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.519
person who experience that tell it in
their own words. And course we have

165
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:05.159
just like you. You know,
your book is about the influencers in Bigfoot,

166
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.080
you know, unlike some shows,
their shows out there who don't necessarily

167
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.320
enjoy talking to researchers or like to
talk to researchers. I think that's important.

168
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.360
I think that it's important to have
a mixture. So in addition to

169
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.159
just Joe Schmo down the road or
jan from across the street who had an

170
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.120
encounter when she was ten, in
addition to that, I try to also

171
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.080
get people on the show who are
doing the boots on the ground research that

172
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.679
are going out in the woods and
trying to document the species or whatever their

173
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.080
motivation is, so you'll find a
little bit of a mixture. It's regular

174
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.360
people like you and I who have
had an experience. And it's also you

175
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:48.000
know, Cliff Brackman, or you
know whomever, doctor Jeff Meldrum, Ron

176
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.200
moorehead whoever that you may or may
not recognize, who is out there in

177
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.440
the woods doing the boots on the
ground research. So it's encounter stories and

178
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.600
in addition to that, the maybe
people who are somebody in the big Foot

179
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.720
community doing the research. And then
I read a lot of stories I enjoy

180
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.879
doing. I like historical stories.
I like people who have shared their stories

181
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.679
on blogs, because a lot of
people won't come on and talk about their

182
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.720
stories on a podcast like yours are
mine, and they'll just write their stories

183
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.279
out and those end up being archived
in certain places. And I have some

184
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.799
great friends who have graciously allowed me
access to a ton of stories, so

185
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.120
I'll pull from those on occasion and
do maybe one story, you know,

186
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.639
one episode a week where it's just
encounter stories that I read. And I've

187
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.559
also read a couple of books,
audiobooks and things like that on the show

188
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.440
too, So it's all over the
place, man. But the majority of

189
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.759
the show has been based around and
continues to be all about encounter stories and

190
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.639
as you know, I love this. I mean, I've told you this,

191
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.519
but for the audiest I love the
show. So it's it's one of

192
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.919
it's you know, right at the
top every week, you know, when

193
00:12:54.080 --> 00:13:00.200
when episodes come out. So when
you get Brian, when you get have

194
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.600
witnesses, which is I'm sure it's
a lot of work. We've had a

195
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.159
few witnesses, a few and it's
a lot of work. And that's just

196
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.480
me scratching the surface. So how
do you how do you get your witnesses

197
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.200
to you know, where do you
find them? How can they reach out

198
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.519
to you? You know, how
do you vet them? You know what?

199
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.600
You know, what's that process like? Well, in the beginning,

200
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.480
it was a lot tougher than it
is today. I mean, when nobody

201
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.480
was listening to the show, nobody
knew who I was. Nobody knew who

202
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:30.480
sasquatch and then or anything about Sasquatch
Outsee, it was tough to get people

203
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:35.399
to trust you, number one,
because it's a lot of there's a lot

204
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:37.799
of trust that's involved in this kind
of stuff. Right for people to sit

205
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.320
down and sometimes I have been the
only person that they have ever told their

206
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.080
story to, and that's a lot
of responsibility if you really think about it,

207
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.440
there's a lot of traumatic experiences that
happen. I think there's a lot

208
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.279
of PTSD that's involved. There's a
there's a ton of things that go into

209
00:13:54.320 --> 00:14:00.960
these kind of experiences that people have. And to earn their trus it's what

210
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.759
I consider it to be. I
earn everybody's trust that comes on my show

211
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.039
that trusts me to be the curator
of their story. Now they might have

212
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.559
been on ten of the podcast,
I don't know. I don't really care.

213
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.960
At that point, when I'm in
front of somebody and I'm documenting their

214
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.080
encounter, they're the only person that
exists in my world. I completely one

215
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.759
dedicate myself to them and their story
because that's really what it's all about,

216
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.159
and that's what I try to do
with each and every person. So it's

217
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.960
changed over the last couple of years, but a lot of people came from

218
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.919
Facebook groups. You know, there
are Facebook groups out there where people share

219
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.320
their encounter stories and I would literally
go in every single one of them I

220
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.519
could get into that would allow me
to post about the show and say,

221
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.879
hey, if you have a story
and you want to tell your story,

222
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.720
come tell it. On my show. Now, with the popularity of the

223
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.799
show, it's grown exponentially. Thank
goodness, I'm blessed to have the audience

224
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.360
that I have. Now, it's
hard to keep up with the amount of

225
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.320
people that reach out and say,
I want to share my story. So

226
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.519
then you get into the vetting thing, right. I was just we were

227
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.279
talking about Jeremiah from the Bigfoot Society
before we went on. That's one of

228
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.240
the things Jeremiah reached out to me. He texted me a couple of days

229
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.559
ago and ask about vetting because he
had had some issues with vetting people on

230
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.519
his show. We have really simple
questions. I think Danny, our executive

231
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.919
producer, came up with like eight
questions that we ask people. It's nothing

232
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.039
crazy, it's nothing out there,
but it's eight general questions about their encounter

233
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.559
with their other witnesses. And then
it kind of goes from there. And

234
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:37.279
we sort of designed those eight simple
questions to really sort of weed out some

235
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.279
of the more out there kind of
stuff. You know, they're sort of

236
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.600
designed to raise red flags if they're
already and if there are any red flags,

237
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.279
then we follow up with those and
we go a little deeper. And

238
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.559
I've talked about vetting a couple of
times. Vetting is a very interesting word

239
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.879
when you're talking about cryptic and well, any encounter. Really, if you're

240
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:04.360
talking about an anecdote experience, it's
very difficult to vet at all. And

241
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.039
I've argued with people about this.
You know, people come on the show

242
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.879
and they tell some really outrageous stories. I've had tons of them. Some

243
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.879
of them made it on the air, some of them have it. But

244
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:22.320
when you're talking about an anecdotal experiences, as an interviewer and as the audience

245
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.600
who hears the story, our only
job in that, in my opinion,

246
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.480
is to put it out there for
me as the host of the show and

247
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.480
the person who's doing the interview.
I simply put it out there for people

248
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.960
to digest. I say it all
the time. Take what you want,

249
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.679
and leave the rest. That's all. That's all I can offer for the

250
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.639
audience and for the audience member.
You just got to listen to the story

251
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.039
and decide whether you believe it or
not. Maybe you believe pieces of it,

252
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.759
maybe you don't believe any of it. Was it entertaining? I mean,

253
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:53.919
if you listen to a forty five
minute story that you don't believe at

254
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.200
all. Were you entertained by it? You know, that's really what it

255
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.559
comes down to. So the vetting
of that is really really difficult. But

256
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.079
we do ask those questions up front. We try to weed those things out.

257
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.839
If there's just some red flag of
maybe mental illness or you know,

258
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:14.319
maybe they're making up the story,
obviously we don't follow through with the interview,

259
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.920
and we don't air it. If
we do. I've set through our

260
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.039
long interviews that never made it on
the show. You know, I give

261
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.480
that person my time, I allow
them to tell their story, and if

262
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.759
I don't believe you, I'm not
putting it on the show because that's not

263
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.119
being intellectually honest for me. If
I believe that you've made up your story

264
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.880
and I can convince myself that you
may not be being honest, I'm certainly

265
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.000
not going to put it out there
for the audience. But ninety eight percent

266
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.480
of the people that I interview you
hear it on the air, So the

267
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:47.400
vetting process is different. It's definitely
difficult when you do this kind of show.

268
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.640
You know, if you're vetting an
expert, or you're having somebody on

269
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:56.680
that has written a book or they
they've put forward some huge piece of evidence

270
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.440
or something like that. Certainly you
can vet those people. It's a little

271
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.039
bit more difficult when you're just having
an anecdotal story relate on the show.

272
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.319
Yeah, So it was a long
way answer to a short question. All

273
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.200
right, Well, it's something struck
me when you said, and I wanted

274
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:12.599
to bring this up. I wasn't
planning on asking you, but you said,

275
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:22.640
believe, and if you believe them, and sometimes whether that person actually

276
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:29.240
saw a real creature or had an
experience, they may or may not have,

277
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.440
but it's what they believe they saw, right. Can you share a

278
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.200
little bit about your experience with that
or how your thoughts are on that.

279
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.759
That is a very good point,
and I'm glad you brought that up,

280
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:44.559
because I shouldn't have used the word
believe, because I say it all the

281
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.440
time. My sort of one of
my taglines on the show is I don't

282
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.480
have anybody on the show that I
don't believe believe that they had the experience

283
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.880
that they share. And that's a
very good point because I think a lot

284
00:18:55.880 --> 00:19:00.759
of times it happens that maybe they
have some sort of an ex experience and

285
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.960
they believe that what they're relaying is
true. Now, could it be different

286
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:08.759
from what they really experienced? Sure? Could it be added to absolutely,

287
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:15.000
And some people could just be wholeheartedly, just whole cloth making up the entire

288
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:22.079
thing. I think for me,
besides the belief thing, it's more about

289
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.319
mental stability. So that's where I
try to go. If I believe that

290
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.680
somebody may be having some mental health
issues or there may be some mental health

291
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:36.799
issues on board. That's where I've
drawn the line in the past about not

292
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.079
airing a show, and I've talked
about it a couple of times recently.

293
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:41.440
I don't think you and I've talked
about it. But I interviewed a guy

294
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.160
about a month and a half ago
who was sharing a story with me,

295
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:51.880
and it was fairly mundane, as
mundane as it can be to be talking

296
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.680
about an eight or nine foot you
know, Harry hamadid that's rumming around in

297
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.680
North America that's not supposed to exist. It started out there and then it

298
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:06.319
just sort of morphed into this weird
experience that he said he had where he

299
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:11.279
had sex with a female sasquatch.
Now, everybody I've said that too,

300
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.440
has the same reaction, and you
know, I haven't aired that show because

301
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.000
frankly, I don't know what to
do with it, because I don't know

302
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.920
how people are going to respond to
that. Now, did he have that

303
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.720
experience? I have no idea.
Does he believe that he had that experience?

304
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.039
I looked the guy in the eyes, and I do believe that he

305
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.640
believes that he had that experience.
Whether he experienced it between his ears and

306
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:42.359
only in his mind, or he
physically believes that he physically had that experience,

307
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:49.759
I don't know. But I'm very
careful about the show because I do

308
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:56.039
approach this very seriously. I take
the subject very seriously, and I want

309
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.039
to do that for every single guest
that comes on the show. So and

310
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:06.319
I'm up in the air about airing
that show because it fits the category of

311
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.119
it's out there, it's high strangeness, and most would say it's very woo

312
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:18.680
sort of experience that he relayed.
But does it meet the standard of do

313
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.359
I believe that this guy believes that
he had that experience? I do?

314
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:29.880
So where do you go with that? I don't know. Just just put

315
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.079
it up for the patrons to to
say, yeah, that's a good idea.

316
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:34.839
I might I might do well to
see what just with a with a

317
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.039
you know, a warning or something
huge, a huge caveat yeah, a

318
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:42.359
huge, huge caveat here, and
say, hey, you know it's just

319
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:45.400
a little out there, but it's
a it's a tough road to home,

320
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:51.200
man, because I want to be
intellectually honest, and I want to do

321
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:56.880
an entertaining show that people enjoy listening
to, and I want to highlight encounters.

322
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.640
But I've said it before. You
know, that's story versus a hunter

323
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:06.039
who comes on and says, yeah, I was standing in a tree stand

324
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:11.960
and this thing came up and snatched
a deer from ten feet away and ran

325
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:15.000
off into the woods. Well,
most people who are into this subject,

326
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.160
me included. Frankly, I'll just
be honest. I'm more apt to say

327
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:25.920
that is a reasonable story versus somebody
who says, you know, I saw

328
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:30.119
this thing walk off off of a
spaceship, or it came and she came

329
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.680
into my tent and we had intercourse. You know, where do you draw

330
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.799
the line? Because I'm reading Matt
Pruitt's book right now, The Phenomena,

331
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.200
and I'm about three chapters in.
I've been a slow reader over the last

332
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.559
week or so. I haven't had
a whole lot of free time to read,

333
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:49.319
but you know, it boils down
in that book too, and it's

334
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:55.000
basically the same thing across the board
with this phenomenon. We can all agree

335
00:22:55.000 --> 00:23:00.359
that the phenomenon exists. It's just
a matter of figuring out if it's a

336
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:04.759
real, live, living creature that
exists in this world or does it only

337
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:10.400
exist in people's minds. That's really
the only question we're talking about anybody who's

338
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:15.519
into this subject. I personally believe
eighty percent of the time it's probably a

339
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:21.240
real, live creature that people are
experiencing. But then there's that other twenty

340
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:25.359
percent that just keeps me scratching my
head and I have to say, I

341
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:30.000
don't I don't know. But I
said all that to say, vetting is

342
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.160
tough. It's really difficult to do
when you're talking anecdotal stuff. And I

343
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:37.680
still get occasionally somebody will come on
and say something that somebody doesn't agree with,

344
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.680
and I'll have a listener reach out
and say, how do you not

345
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.039
vet these people? How can you? You know? It is what it

346
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.400
is. We do the best job
we can, but at the end of

347
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:49.839
the day, as a listener,
you just have to take what you want

348
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:53.680
and leave the rest and believe what
you want to believe. Definitely, for

349
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:59.799
sure. So have you had a
I'm sure you have, But can you

350
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:07.720
share a witness that you interviewed that's
really moved you or shook you or it

351
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.720
just you know, just stuck with
you for a long time. Yeah,

352
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:17.960
there was. There's been several obviously
three hundred plus episodes into the show,

353
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.640
but I think one that stuck out
that was very recent was a hunter that

354
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.000
was out in the woods with his
dad. I think they were from Washington,

355
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.359
and I don't remember where they were
hunting. I may have that wrong.

356
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.400
He may have had the experience in
Washington that were somewhere else. I

357
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:37.640
don't know. They were out elk
hunting and it was a really long interview.

358
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.039
I think he talked for like an
hour and twenty minutes. I literally

359
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.440
I had people sending me emails and
saying, that's the longest you've ever went

360
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:45.200
without saying a word on your show. I let him talk for like an

361
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.160
hour and fifteen minutes, And of
course people gave me crap because I let

362
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:53.200
him talk too long and it should
have speeded up whatever, But he it

363
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.559
was basically in a nutshell. He
and his dad were out hunting elk and

364
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:03.920
he has this tree knock situation where
this thing is tree knocking for this went

365
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.880
on for about thirty minutes and it
culminated into him walking into a certain area

366
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:12.880
and this huge sasquatch steps out from
behind a tree and basically confronts him.

367
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.039
Now, this guy's got a long
gun. He's got a pretty big I

368
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.039
don't know if it was a three
o eight or what he was caring to

369
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.400
take down an elk, but it
was a pretty big gun. And he

370
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:23.559
said he felt like he might as
well had a toothpick in his hand at

371
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:30.559
that because this thing was huge.
And he took off running and left the

372
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:37.759
area. But it, besides him
just being a really compelling witness and just

373
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.119
his story in general being very interesting
to me, the thing that stuck out

374
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.880
to me I think the most about
his story was I'd never heard anybody because

375
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.039
this is the thing he said to
me. And I'm sure you've heard,

376
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:51.279
you've heard tree knocks. People have
talked about having experiences with tree knocks.

377
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:55.640
I've heard something recently here on the
property that I would consider like four power

378
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.599
knocks. So you hear that.
It's a pretty common thing in the big

379
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:03.359
Foot community, in the Bigfoot experienced
world. But the one thing I'd never

380
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.200
heard him say. I'd never heard
anybody say this until he said it.

381
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.839
He said he felt like this thing
was drawing him in. And I was

382
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.160
like really, and he's like yeah, because this one on for thirty minutes.

383
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.480
And he said this thing would tree
knock and he would stop and listen

384
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:25.000
to it, and he would keep
walking and he would stop again when it

385
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.519
would tree knock, and it would
every time he would stop, it would

386
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:33.599
do another series of knocks. And
he said, I really felt like it

387
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.160
was drawing me in to do something
nefarious. To me, that's just the

388
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.319
feeling he had. Obviously it's subjective. He has no way to prove that,

389
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:44.279
but it is his experience. And
I'd never heard anybody say that to

390
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.119
me. But he said, you
know, it kept drawing me in closer

391
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:49.799
and closer and closer until boom,
this thing stepped out from behind a tree.

392
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.880
He's ten fifteen yards away from it. So that was really compelling to

393
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:59.079
me because I guess because I've never
really heard that, But when you have

394
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:02.000
those kind of experiences and your gut
tells you something. And this guy,

395
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:03.960
he wasn't military, he wasn't law
enforcement, but he had had a lot

396
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.279
of training and martial arts and weaponry
and things like that, so he had

397
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.720
been around weapons and he had been
trained, you know, with people in

398
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.279
those kind of situations. And I
trusted his gut, and he really felt

399
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:19.079
like this thing was drawing him in, and I don't know, it just

400
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:25.000
really stuck out to me as a
really compelling story. I remember listening to

401
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:30.480
that episode and him saying that he
should have known better that, you know,

402
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.799
just from animal instincts, you know, hindsight. After it happened,

403
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.160
he said something to that nature said, yeah, I should have known that's

404
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.240
what was happening, but I didn't, you know. Yeah, he really

405
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.519
felt bad about it. And the
other thing that if folks have listened to

406
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.559
that episode, he was really torn
up because his dad was hunting in a

407
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:51.400
different area with him, and he
went back to camp that night and he

408
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.920
didn't tell his dad what he had
experienced, and that really shook him up,

409
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:59.359
and he didn't tell him until after
that trip was over, and he

410
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.640
really up guilty for a long time, to the point where he said he

411
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.880
tried to bury himself in the bottom
of a liquor bottle. This guy was

412
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.400
he fell off the wagon big time
because of that experience, and I sort

413
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:15.039
of related to that. I can
understand where that would really eat at you

414
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.839
because he was worried about his dad's
safety. But he was so shaken by

415
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.799
what he saw and the stigma around
it. You know, how do you

416
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.400
pull your dad aside at the campfire
after a day of elk hunting and say,

417
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:30.279
Dad, I want you to be
careful tomorrow because I encountered a nine

418
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:34.200
foot giant ape in the woods today
while I was hunting. Like, how

419
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:38.960
do you say that to somebody?
Didn't he say that he didn't like the

420
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:42.960
following days he didn't actually really go
out and hunt. He said he faked.

421
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:45.960
He faked like he was going out
and didn't go out. Yeah,

422
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:49.279
his dad would go out and hunt
in his area, and he would drive

423
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.799
to the area where he was saying
he was going to hunt, and he

424
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.759
would set in the truck because he
was afraid to go back in the woods.

425
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.440
That's just that's just compelling. How
could shake someone up that way?

426
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.599
I mean, yeah, it's crazy, man, Yeah, yeah, it

427
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.880
is. That's super cool. So
um, Brian, as we start winding

428
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.680
down, you know best way for
the you know, we'll talk about a

429
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.960
little bit about your network and then
then after that you can share how you

430
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:21.799
know folks can keep up with you. Sure well, the network is the

431
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:26.720
three big shows are the our flagship
shows, Sasquatch Odyssey, Paranormal Odyssey,

432
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:32.559
and the True Crime Odyssey. Those
are all anywhere you get your podcasts.

433
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:34.759
Anywhere you're listening to Tim and I
right now, you can get those.

434
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:40.119
Just search those names and they'll pop
up in your feed and you can hopefully

435
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:42.839
follow the shows and take a listen. I don't host the Paranormal Odyssey anymore.

436
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:48.039
It was sort of born out of
all the really strange things that people

437
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:52.519
are experiencing while they're out in the
woods outside of Sasquatch. So I started

438
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:57.200
that show to document more of the
paranormal stuff. Dog man UFOs, alien

439
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:00.880
abductions, all the paranormal stuf of
ghost stories, those kind of things.

440
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:04.079
So Wayne host that show now it
is still up. I think he's one

441
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.960
hundred and twenty summite episodes of that
show in so there's plenty of stuff for

442
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.200
you to listen to. True Crime
Odyssey. Obviously, I was a cop

443
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.720
for sixteen years, so I do
the true crime show and we've added a

444
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.640
couple of other shows to the network. We have The Basement Hangout with Chad

445
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:23.319

to get the link together, But
as soon as they get that done,
