They did being running across the good bye man.

He's gonna watch tomorrow because you know, we do have

60
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:58,360
that tendency to put people to sleep. Yeah, but from.

00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,360
you again on the air and make it formal and official.

67
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:28,199
As Matt Arner sparting the Amish look this week, it's

68
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:30,079
for a good cause, folks, it's for a good cause.

69
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: Oh look, hey, that hat will fit over your headphones. Matt,

70
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,680
don't try it. There it is. See there we go. Yeah,

71
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,920
there's the Amish look.

72
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: He's uh, Matt butter Maker. Yes, Matt Buttermaker.

73
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:46,959
Speaker 1: Yes.

74
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,319
Speaker 2: Not to be confused with the other Matt. That makes

75
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:52,480
something a lot of bullshit sometimes.

76
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Anyhow, Wow, language that flies's you know, it's been a

77
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:00,720
rough couple of weeks for us, guys.

78
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: You know, we have to be remiss if we didn't

79
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,439
talk about the passing of Steven Stroyferd guest on our program. Yep,

80
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:11,720
back on the six. I can't believe it's been you know,

81
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,240
fourteen fifty sixteen days already. It's you know, quite a

82
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,079
shock to some of us age of sixty. If you

83
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,480
weren't familiar with Steven Stroifrit was the purveyor of Bigfoot

84
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,720
books before it unfortunately burnt to the ground. He was

85
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,560
the admin of the Coalition for Critical Thinking and Bigfoot

86
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,560
Research on Facebook and a member of the Bluff Creek Project,

87
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,839
big contributor to the field of sasquatchery, passed away age

88
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:38,319
sixty guys, And you know, we were just I was

89
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:41,680
just starting to know Steve and have conversations with him,

90
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,800
and he was planning on doing a part two with us,

91
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,959
and we were gonna, you know, be on with more

92
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:50,920
Patterson Gimlin discussion and other things. And so you know,

93
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,160
as we always say, and many others have say, you know,

94
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,199
tomorrow's aren't guarantees, so seize the moments when you can, folks.

95
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,360
Sad news, and this has just been a hell of

96
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:06,600
a year for this as losing those Yes, we have

97
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:10,040
lost quite a few this year, and I helped twenty

98
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:11,879
twenty six put some brakes on that.

99
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: Well.

100
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, you know we lost Fred Salucas well a

101
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,360
few weeks ago, and it's just doctor Meldrum. The list

102
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:24,040
goes on. And of course it's hard to not mention, folks,

103
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:29,240
because you know, I went back and forth rather I

104
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,040
was going to bring this up or not, because you know,

105
00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:35,120
I was personally attacked on our on my personal page

106
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:42,160
by doctor John Barnchuck, and uh, when I posted our tribute,

107
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,160
I don't even want to say a tribute to Steven Streifferd.

108
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,839
I just posted our interview with him so folks could

109
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,560
kind of get a semblance of the idea of the

110
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:51,040
kind of person he was, because I really felt it

111
00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:53,360
was a good interview. And then all of a sudden

112
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:55,720
it became a you know, we're part of the problem

113
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:59,240
out there that promoting people over the research. And I

114
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,360
took great, great umbrage with that. And you know, it

115
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:05,399
takes a lot for me to get riled up. Not

116
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,839
younger Fork or I had a fought you, you know,

117
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:11,199
real quick, but this one, I kind of it just

118
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:16,839
set me off. And it's hard because guys, while we

119
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,720
promote the subject and want to talk about bigfoot research

120
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,680
and that's really where we should be focused, that people

121
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,399
are just as important. And you've heard me say it,

122
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,639
I'm just a footnote in this story, you know, a

123
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,040
paragraph on a page somewhere that's going to be written

124
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,160
in this monumental story of the discovery of Sasquatch. And

125
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,759
you know, those of us that have had a high

126
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,000
stakes in that, are have really had a part in that,

127
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:42,879
are very worthy of being mentioned and very worthy of

128
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:48,199
being discussed, and without us, without the people searching, no

129
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,600
one else is doing it, and there's no story. There's

130
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:54,399
no story. So yeah, maybe we are a little guilty

131
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:57,759
of that. And but that's you know, I don't hold

132
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,240
that guilt, and I don't think that we promote it

133
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,319
more than we promote the research. And I think that's

134
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,279
where the difference is. And you know the problem I

135
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,560
have is when you've got an asshole like that guy,

136
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,319
is that you know, when he failed on his own

137
00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:15,639
mission and his book grasping sascock or whatever he calls it.

138
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: Oh, but I can't think, uh.

139
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,439
Speaker 2: You know, you know, he you know, didn't took it,

140
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:25,720
didn't take a moment to promote that. In the thread

141
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:28,639
when we were arguing, Diddy, you know, mentioned oh, my book,

142
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,839
And you know, when you failed just as much as

143
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:32,720
everybody else is I think for some reason, when you

144
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:36,399
have a PhD or something, it hurts more when you lose. Yeah,

145
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,919
and when you can't prove anything that his scientific way,

146
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,879
which by the way, is no different than anybody others

147
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:43,759
scientific way. He just put in a book and was

148
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:45,519
proud of it. And you know, we should all be

149
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:49,720
proud of books. But was it a New York Times bestseller?

150
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,080
I don't know, but uh, you know, to attack us

151
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,480
because we do focus on the contributors and we think

152
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,759
it's support. It was just stupid and it was probably

153
00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:01,919
the guess mistake he'd make, because when you make an

154
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,720
enemy of me, I don't go away lightly. In fact,

155
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,799
most of the time I win in ways that are

156
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:09,200
just you know, well, we don't need to get into that.

157
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, considering the fact we've made what almost

158
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,559
three quarters of a million dollars, right, isn't that? Yeah? Right? Money? Sure?

159
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,799
Speaker 2: Making money off this field. I would love to any folks,

160
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,440
any of you want to see our balance sheets, I'd

161
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,279
be glad to show you how much.

162
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,159
Speaker 1: They all have a minus sign in front of the

163
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,159
dollar amount.

164
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: We don't make enough through advertising to even pay for

165
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,600
our studio. I pay for that myself, And so you know,

166
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,159
let's not talk like we're making thousands of dollars on

167
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,080
a podcast talking about Bigfoot. First of all, it's a

168
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,720
niche subject, right, Like we knew going into this it

169
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:52,759
wasn't going to be a profit maker.

170
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:55,399
Speaker 1: This has already been for fun and it's been a

171
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,080
passion thing right, and for fun. It's not about the money, right.

172
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: And an outlet for us to talk about you know,

173
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,600
what we do in our journey and people listen, or

174
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,519
we wouldn't be doing it. We probably would do it

175
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,799
if nobody was listening anyhow, because it's fun to get

176
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,000
together and talk. But you know, why do people like

177
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,600
that guy who fail in their own quests wipe out

178
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,360
on their way out? You know, it's always the same mo.

179
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:20,039
I'm better than you, I'm scientific than you, My work

180
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:22,159
is critical. You're all clowns, yet we all end up

181
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,080
at the same space.

182
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, James, I really think the problem isn't as much

183
00:10:29,639 --> 00:10:33,639
the research or the researchers. I think it's staying relevant

184
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,639
when you feel you have to be. Like, there's a

185
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,120
few of us that I love as a person, and

186
00:10:40,159 --> 00:10:43,039
I'm not going to mention their name, but like it

187
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:47,120
seems like whenever someone's not thinking them directly or they

188
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,679
get it at a certain level, they either find a

189
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,799
way to sabotaze themselves or go completely off the rails

190
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,639
so that someone will pay attention to them.

191
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,159
Speaker 3: I mean, away us the older class. Big footers to

192
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:03,679
me remind me of influencers.

193
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 5: If they're not getting the clicks, then we have to

194
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,159
make a noise.

195
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,399
Speaker 3: But like I like, there.

196
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:14,879
Speaker 5: Are certain people in this community that I wouldn't.

197
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: Pay to see them talk.

198
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:19,159
Speaker 5: Not because I don't believe in them, not because whatever,

199
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:21,440
but I know that if I show up at the

200
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,759
bar at ten thirty, they're gonna give me that whole

201
00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:28,120
conversation and twenty more I wanted, and I didn't pay.

202
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:30,440
I didn't pay seventy five bucks to see him. But

203
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,399
then the opposite was like Meldrum, who I loved, and

204
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,720
anybody ever said anything bad about Meldrum, don't do it

205
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,120
near me, Okay. But the thing is is like he

206
00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:42,799
was a guy that I ran into randomly, but when

207
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,840
he talked.

208
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: If I could get a ticket, I just sat through it.

209
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: Whether I forty times he was he was an honestly

210
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:52,919
good man. And that's what upsessed me a lot of

211
00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:56,080
time about this field is is there's some honestly good

212
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,120
people that believe what they believe and they're doing what

213
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:02,759
they can and they get shit on because of the

214
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:06,000
subject matter. Like like BEFO, I'll tell you I'm the.

215
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: Same with Coleman. I'm the same with Coleman. I know

216
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,279
what Coleman is. Don't get me wrong, He's.

217
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,799
Speaker 5: Not a He's he Bigfoot is a business. He believes

218
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,080
what he believes, and he reads what he reads and

219
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,559
he knows what he's talking about. But at the end

220
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,720
of the day, when they all go, well he's a

221
00:12:23,799 --> 00:12:26,600
huckster and blah blah blah, no, no, no, he made a

222
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:30,399
deal with you because it's a business first, a passion sector.

223
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: Right, you know, you know with uh, doctor Meldrum, I

224
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:42,519
don't believe that he got into this community to be

225
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:47,519
in the community. Evidence was brought to him, and he

226
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:50,480
had taken a lot of interest in the evidence that

227
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,240
was brought to him and research it, and that's what

228
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:57,559
really set him off on this path. I don't believe

229
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,759
that doctor Meldrum, you know, said you know what, I

230
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,200
want to get into the bigfoot research field. The evidence

231
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,559
was brought to him. And as far as Lauren Coleman

232
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,080
is concerned, I have to give Lauren Coleman the kudos

233
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,519
to the fact he's the one that brought me into

234
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,559
this field. Because the first book I purchased from him

235
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,440
was Cryptozoology A through Z and I bought that book

236
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,320
and I started reading it and I'm like, Wow, this

237
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,960
is really interesting stuff. And that's what brought me into

238
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,399
the field. So there's kind of a different correlation between

239
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:37,960
those two gentlemen. But I have to agree with you, James.

240
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,759
You know, these guys were not really set up to, oh,

241
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:48,799
we're gonna just be the dominant celebrities and everybody's just

242
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,919
gonna drop to a knee and bow down before us. No,

243
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,440
that really never was their intent at all. No.

244
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:58,639
Speaker 2: And you know, and so when I bring this back

245
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,120
to us and you know, the accusations that we just

246
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:05,200
you know, is this a cash play? You know, I

247
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,480
think it's important we start, you know, we remind people

248
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:11,120
why we're into this, you know. And and I'll allow

249
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:13,759
you guys the opportunity. But for me, we got a

250
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:21,080
train coming now, it's the Holiday train, uh Express. It's

251
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,399
not a show without a train. Yeah, anyhow, and you know,

252
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,759
for me, and I think, you know, we'll transition to

253
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,240
investigation bigfoot here in a little bit, Matt that I

254
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,759
think we cap it off pretty nicely. And for me,

255
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,120
it's that there's people seeing something they can't explain, and

256
00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:41,960
they're everyday people like you and me who had no

257
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:45,960
interest in the subject. Whatsoever. We're going through their normal,

258
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:48,799
everyday lives and seeing something they can't explain or see

259
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,039
something that's not supposed to exist, and it changed their life.

260
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,399
So they got on the internet and found some people

261
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,120
that they want to talk to about it. And that's

262
00:14:57,159 --> 00:14:59,240
why I stay in this to talk to those people,

263
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:02,080
to let them know that, hey, yep, there's a good

264
00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:05,759
chance you're not crazy. You know that you're seeing something

265
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,000
other people are seeing and reporting, And that's why I

266
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,639
stay in it. Listen, I have a real job, I

267
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,279
have family, I have friends. A lot of my friends

268
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,480
are associated with this field, but I have a lot

269
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:19,080
of friends that aren't associated with this field. But I'll

270
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,639
tell you what. There came a point in time where

271
00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:24,840
people stop laughing about me looking for bigfoot, and we're

272
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,879
really interested as the why or why do you do it?

273
00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:29,720
Why have you spent a good part of your life?

274
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:32,919
And I'll tell you you know, and for me, there's

275
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,559
a science behind it. There really is. And for those

276
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,720
that say we're unscientific or whatnot, I have an ample

277
00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:41,000
sized posterior. You could puck her up and.

278
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:46,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, true, you know. I have a work associate that

279
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,120
had no idea of anything of the Sasquatch and and

280
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,559
he's headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and he came down

281
00:15:54,639 --> 00:16:00,960
to us, to the facility. Anyway, the whole conversation came

282
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,080
up with this podcast that we're doing, and he's like, what.

283
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,919
I spent an hour and a half with him, and

284
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,159
at the end of the hour and a half, he

285
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,039
was like, I had no idea this was going on.

286
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:20,720
This is absolutely fascinating to me. And now when I

287
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,799
just saw him a couple of weeks ago, well not

288
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:24,679
even a couple of weeks ago, about a week ago,

289
00:16:25,039 --> 00:16:27,480
he came down, you know, to do his business again,

290
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,440
and I just so happened to be wearing my God

291
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:34,399
Knocker shirt and he's like, got any new stuff on

292
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,080
the Sasquatch. I'm like, yeah, I always do. Always reach

293
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,159
out to me. I will give you information that will

294
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,360
you know, open up your mind to the possibility of

295
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,799
all of this. He's like, I find this so fascinating

296
00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:53,679
just having that one person just kind of step over

297
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:59,039
the line and say, Wow, this is insane. This this

298
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:03,320
could actual be a thing. And my day is made.

299
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,680
I mean, I just get in my vehicle and I

300
00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:08,319
drive away with a big old grin on my face

301
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,160
because hey, somebody else has now taken interest in this,

302
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:15,319
just by all the evidence I presented to him.

303
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,759
Speaker 2: You know, does anybody else chuckle when they call it

304
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,319
the Sasquatch.

305
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: One?

306
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, there's only one.

307
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 3: It's not a nessy.

308
00:17:31,319 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: That's true.

309
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,559
Speaker 2: You know, Scott our good friend posts. I don't think

310
00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:38,880
that anyone who truly are trying to legitimately research improve

311
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,519
sasquatch exists is in it for the money. And you

312
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:43,240
know that's true.

313
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: Yes, you're not going to be a good Scott. Yeah,

314
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:48,200
it's a good point.

315
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: Plus on the high end. But like when you think

316
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,480
about that and players in the.

317
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: Game, they're not on the high end.

318
00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:58,839
Speaker 2: Believe no, Cliff Cliff doesn't engagements to fund the museum.

319
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,400
Yeah yeah, and that's and you think about that, but

320
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,960
that's pouring it back into a passion. Yes, dollar we

321
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:08,319
make that we're not donating. They're given away by the

322
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:10,079
way the people goes into the show.

323
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: Yep. I have to quickly give a shout out to

324
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,440
Ken Gerhardt. Unexpectedly he had sent me after he did

325
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:25,359
our show, unexpectedly sent me his Mothman book that he

326
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:27,720
and you know he signed it for me and I

327
00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:31,440
was like, wow, that was a wonderful surprise. I really

328
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,680
appreciated that. So thanks to Ken if he happens to

329
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,559
be watching, and I did send him a thank you

330
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,680
through a text. But you know, that goes into part

331
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,440
of my collection of everybody else that has sent me

332
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,960
books that were autographed to me from you know, Ryan

333
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:51,000
Sprague and Lyon Strickler and Shannon and it just the

334
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:53,599
list goes on. But yeah, I wanted to throw that

335
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,599
out there. That was very nice aken to do that.

336
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,519
Speaker 2: But again, you talk about people who accused of profiting

337
00:18:58,559 --> 00:19:01,720
and making money off this. You know, this is how

338
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,400
folks pay for their research. None of us are funded

339
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,000
by National Geographic or independently uber wealthy where we could

340
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,440
continue to do this without a real job, like I can't.

341
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:16,839
Speaker 1: I want a job. No, I can't either, right, And.

342
00:19:16,839 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: I think you know, again, we go into these and

343
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,240
we have to spend time on it to talk aboutnefolks

344
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,839
that go up to the big Foot, everything to do

345
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,359
with big fun Can you come and listen to these podcasts?

346
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,240
And I don't want people to be contaminated with the

347
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,480
fact that, oh, you know, they make money off this.

348
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:33,839
We don't make money.

349
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,039
Speaker 1: Nope, no, no, we spend a lot of money.

350
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,519
Speaker 2: We've donated a lot of money.

351
00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: Yes, we do. And speaking of donating money, go to

352
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,960
sasquatch Experience dot com go to what page there sean

353
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,440
to do Squatch out Hunger before Christmas?

354
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we have actually it ends tonight. Yeah, at

355
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,319
midnight we pull it down and we still have some

356
00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:01,480
more to send in and that's in one of our

357
00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:04,119
other funds to send over. So by the time we're done,

358
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,599
we'll have like I think it's six hundred and thirty

359
00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:07,920
six dollars that we've made.

360
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Squatch out Hunger. That's wonderful, you know, which was

361
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,200
sure that buys a lot of groceries.

362
00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 2: Well, listen, you know, we we had an ambitious goal

363
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,799
this year, but we also didn't predict a government shutdown,

364
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:23,599
and we didn't predict you know, right, you know, lots

365
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,000
of things that affected families. So I'm happy with that number.

366
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:31,599
Speaker 1: But even if with our listeners, even even if you

367
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,519
go outside of the boundaries of you know, the squatch

368
00:20:36,559 --> 00:20:39,000
on Hunger and you want to donate to a food

369
00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:43,039
pantry on our behalf, just do it. We don't have

370
00:20:43,079 --> 00:20:45,519
to have our name attached to it, not at all.

371
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:48,599
Just do it, even if it's a box of cheese

372
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,440
it crackers, just do it.

373
00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 2: We'll send the cheese its to Baker and I. But

374
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:54,279
you know, everything else you can do.

375
00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:58,759
Speaker 1: I'm going through my box here. We love Jesus. Yeah,

376
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:01,599
we all love takes. It's favorite.

377
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: What were you going to say, buddy, No, I was.

378
00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:08,079
Speaker 4: I was just going to add to even individually. I

379
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,839
don't want to say too much. I was asked to

380
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,359
do a big festival in the summertime. I'm not going

381
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,880
to give too much information yet until every all the inkstride.

382
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,839
Speaker 1: But uh.

383
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,559
Speaker 4: They asked about how we're to stay. They were going

384
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,079
to put me up in a hotel. They asked about

385
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,839
speaking fee. They asked about what else they can they

386
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,319
can give, and I said, listen, I said, I have

387
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:38,599
a camper. You know, it's about an hour and fifteen

388
00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:44,000
minutes away. I'm good the speaking that I as you know,

389
00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:46,960
I'm a detective with the with the or a police department,

390
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,759
so I deal with a lot of crimes against children.

391
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,160
So there is an outfit called the Child's Advocacy Center,

392
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,000
and they're usually in just about every county or some

393
00:21:58,039 --> 00:22:01,720
of the bigger counties. So the county that's adjacent to

394
00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:04,759
where this festival is, my speaking fee is getting donated.

395
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:12,599
We did the the Eric Altman's Pennsylvania a Bigfoot camping Adventure.

396
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,440
Uh I you know, he said, hey, I have money

397
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,559
here for you for for travel. I said, I'm giving

398
00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:23,519
that directly to the Fayette County Friends of Animals, So

399
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,039
I'm not doing it for the money at all. Just

400
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,359
last the last show, we were talking about I have

401
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,799
a thousand dollars a gm uh thermal.

402
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: You know how I got that.

403
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:38,039
Speaker 4: I got that from working overtime shifts all right, you know,

404
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,599
from from putting myself out there, you know, doing patrol

405
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,279
shifts that you know, uh from seven seven at night

406
00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:49,039
to seven in the morning to pay for the equipment

407
00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:50,519
that I use. And I had to work a lot

408
00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:53,319
of shifts for that. So but I I know that

409
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,720
I'm going to put that to good use.

410
00:22:55,839 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: Matt. Does that not mean more to you than somebody

411
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,079
giving you the money to purchase that?

412
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:02,599
Speaker 3: Oh?

413
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, that's the point. When you work for it,

414
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,279
it means so much more to you, and it brings

415
00:23:09,319 --> 00:23:11,400
more pride into the fact of what it is that

416
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,480
you're doing. So yeah, kudos to you, brother.

417
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 4: And again as a whole, this is what we do.

418
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:21,920
You know, like I said, if it is about money,

419
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
it's about money that we're that we're raising to to

420
00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:28,680
give back, you know, scoatch out hunger, going to the

421
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:33,279
Child Advocacy Center, h going to animal groups. And I know,

422
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,640
like Sean, yeah, I mean you you know, have done

423
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,440
so much for the safe house and and uh you

424
00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:45,720
do have to at some point introduce your new partner.

425
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: In trans Yes, my baby.

426
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: Yes, But but then again, like I said, we're we're

427
00:23:53,759 --> 00:23:57,519
doing it for things like that, and you know we're

428
00:23:58,759 --> 00:24:02,880
again we're we're about going out there. I know with me,

429
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,039
my my particular fondness is being out there boots on

430
00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:10,480
the ground, you know, out and and that in itself.

431
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:13,640
You don't have to pay me to to to go

432
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,759
sit in the in the middle of the state forest

433
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:16,839
out in Potter County.

434
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: I do that. Yeah. Right, It's just like and.

435
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say this, it's just like with Henry, you know,

436
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:27,319
you can't. You know, Henry has such a passion for

437
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,839
the history and for the uh for the bush start

438
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,400
coming out. You don't have to pay him for that

439
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,799
because he loves Sean. You love everything that that we've

440
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:40,240
been doing. You know, Faker, you're the you know, uh,

441
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,519
the one that keeps us kind of grounded in advance.

442
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,519
You know, you bring that voice out and uh everything,

443
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,759
a lot of knowledge on other uh cryptos outside. So

444
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,680
you know, collectively, we all we all bring some but

445
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,839
we don't need to get paid if you know, we'd

446
00:24:58,839 --> 00:24:59,880
be doing this on our own.

447
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:04,079
Speaker 1: Well, thanks Matt, and we appreciate that very much. That's

448
00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:05,400
a great sentiment. Thank you.

449
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,559
Speaker 2: I never get tired of hearing about how great we are,

450
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:11,160
so keep going on. I'm kenning. Yeah, the research life

451
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,839
isn't glamorous. So what are the things that one might

452
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,440
do to bring up to the next generation. Yeah, that's

453
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,559
a that's a great question, Scott. And you've asked some

454
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:21,720
good questions there. We'll get through them. I think to

455
00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:25,240
the next generation, it's I think learning how to be

456
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,039
better stewards of what we do. First of all, pick

457
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,680
up a damn book and read know the history of

458
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,279
the subject and the people that have helped build the

459
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,319
history of the subject, Because you don't have to ask

460
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,079
questions when you know the answers already find new questions

461
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:47,319
and find yourself a mentor, somebody who's trustworthy and semi

462
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,960
intelligent to help you understand how to navigate the field

463
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:55,640
and spend time in the field. Learn more than just

464
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,759
about bigfoot, learn more about nature. I think that's the

465
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:03,440
big one. If you can help navigate the wilderness and

466
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:07,359
navigate the animal life, you do yourself a much better

467
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,519
service than just bigfoot.

468
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,799
Speaker 1: And always be prepared. Yeah.

469
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,319
Speaker 4: And the other thing too is be happy with what

470
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,079
you find out there, even if it's not Bigfoot related.

471
00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:25,400
And I'm gonna circle all the way back to Stephen

472
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,839
Streyfer and he's with the Bluff Creek Project and what

473
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,079
did they do. They didn't find bigfoot, but they found

474
00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:36,559
a new species of martin And which is which is?

475
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:37,720
You know?

476
00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: Yeah?

477
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:40,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a little things like that.

478
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:45,400
If you're reaching out to someone, to someone that's that's

479
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,319
younger or wants to get involved with it, take those uh,

480
00:26:50,319 --> 00:26:52,559
take those wins when you find that, you know, And

481
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,160
like I said, the Bluff Project, they are they're just

482
00:26:57,279 --> 00:26:59,920
fantastic people. And you never know what you're gonna find

483
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,519
at you know, along your journey.

484
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 5: I oddly enough found turkeys. I was done my game

485
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:13,960
cams and never Okay, my property, I'm as I can

486
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,640
get most of the pictures dumped down. I've been converting

487
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,440
them because I have a lot of the same picture

488
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,720
because the wind for the camera, which.

489
00:27:20,519 --> 00:27:22,079
Speaker 3: I learned a lot about cameras too.

490
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 5: But either way, I'll dump some of them onto my

491
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,279
page so you guys can look at them.

492
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 3: But I found we had foxes turkeys.

493
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I gotcha? Hey, am I reading this correctly? Is Alex?

494
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 4: Uh?

495
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: Alex? You're the best brother?

496
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 4: We love Alex?

497
00:27:43,799 --> 00:27:47,799
Speaker 1: Do for Alex? What do I have?

498
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:57,799
Speaker 4: I have the I have the am shot for him.

499
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:03,559
Speaker 1: However, your beard just doesn't compare to his. Now he's

500
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,000
got the beard he does Beardie.

501
00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:11,839
Speaker 2: This camera keeps zooming in and out on me. It's

502
00:28:11,839 --> 00:28:12,880
bothering the hell out of me.

503
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,319
Speaker 1: I have the thing. Oh I don't see that, But

504
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,039
that's okay.

505
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,519
Speaker 2: We got another question from Scott. How do you inspire

506
00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:22,039
others to become interested in the subject and puts boots

507
00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:25,319
on the ground and do the scientific research so it's

508
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,720
becoming That's that's the catch twenty two. Because there's a

509
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,200
lot of people allured with the myths of big footing

510
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:40,480
and the other cryptids where they become much more enamored

511
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:43,759
with the fantasy and everything's a bigfoot and everything's a

512
00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:47,559
dog man, and everything's circled in a photograph. We really

513
00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:49,920
have a lot of contenders to go up against in

514
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,240
that in that field, and what I feel needs to

515
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,200
be the difference is what I said, we need to

516
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,839
get folks educated and then get them on I know,

517
00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:04,079
right smiling because Alex wants to go back to that market.

518
00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Yes, that makes me smile. Absolutely.

519
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: You get people educated and excited about being in the

520
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,359
woods is the first thing. That's that's the key, and

521
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,359
then everything else kind of locks into place.

522
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: Yep.

523
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,559
Speaker 2: Once you get bitten by that bigfoot bug, it's hard

524
00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:24,359
to get rid of it.

525
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: Yes.

526
00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:29,319
Speaker 4: And another thing too, and again this is for for

527
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,039
the next generation, is sometimes you have to stop looking

528
00:29:34,079 --> 00:29:37,400
and but just be out there. Get invault with the

529
00:29:37,599 --> 00:29:42,000
with the trail maintenance group. If for big footing, uh,

530
00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:46,279
if you're looking for a racetown ray uh you know,

531
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:54,680
or another yeah, another like lake or ocean going en cryptid, Yeah,

532
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,039
champ get in fault with like a like a beside

533
00:29:58,079 --> 00:30:00,519
clean up or do something like that that you're out

534
00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:03,079
in the water because a lot of it's when you're

535
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:06,640
out there looking you know, yeah, you know, but it's

536
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,160
when you're not you know, and yeah, kind of mining

537
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,960
your own business and you know, cleaning up a trail

538
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:16,079
or cleaning up trash on the side of the b shot.

539
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,359
Speaker 1: You might be that's the unexpected events that happened, right.

540
00:30:20,559 --> 00:30:22,839
Speaker 2: I think that's a good segue into our new segments

541
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,799
when we come back. We can finish up the show

542
00:30:24,839 --> 00:30:29,039
with talking about the wrap up of investigation Bigfoot Map.

543
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: So folks stick around.

544
00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: We'll be right back right after this a little bull

545
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,880
horn from Vance and Nesbitt new Steed.

Speaker 3: A Symbo.

547
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,359
Speaker 1: Christmas dinner is actually a little easier now than my

554
00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:19,279
will not sing anymore. So there you go. Happy holiday

555
00:31:19,319 --> 00:31:22,200
seasons to all of our listeners. I hope you are

556
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,640
having a very festive time of year. And you know,

557
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:30,359
we look forward to sharing everything that we have in

558
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,079
our bag of tricks, but we don't do tricks here,

559
00:31:34,279 --> 00:31:38,440
and if we do, it's by sheer accident. So anyway,

560
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,559
since this is the season of joy, let's share a

561
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,279
story that we'll put a silver lining to a notable

562
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:54,720
Christmas bigfoot report from twenty twenty four on Christmas Eve, Unfortunately,

563
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:59,960
two Oregon men who tragically died from exposure in one

564
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:06,119
Washington's Gifford Pinaut National Forest after going missing on Christmas

565
00:32:06,119 --> 00:32:11,680
Eve hunt for sasquatch. The search involved more than sixty

566
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,519
search and rescue folks along with canine dogs well that's

567
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:21,640
what a canine is, drones, and even the Coastguard. However,

568
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,880
their bodies were found dead from hypothermia. Beyond this tragic event,

569
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:32,960
Christmas often appears in bigfoot reports, either due to sightings

570
00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:37,759
around the holiday season. There was a report around Christmas

571
00:32:37,799 --> 00:32:40,920
of two thousand and nine in Illinois, according to the

572
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:46,240
BFRO that logged a memory told report of a sasquatch

573
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,599
standing in headlights near Saint Jacob on Christmas Eve, part

574
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,519
of many Illinois reports, including other two thousand and nine

575
00:32:55,559 --> 00:33:02,240
incidences like a daylight sighting near Hammel, showing consistent local

576
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:09,759
interest in potential Bigfoot encounters. Now, as we continue, there

577
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,960
was a report from Peak News magazine out of British Columbia,

578
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:21,079
or simply referring to the town of Christmas, Florida, where

579
00:33:21,079 --> 00:33:26,240
a sighting occurred in twenty twelve. So to follow up

580
00:33:26,279 --> 00:33:31,880
with the two young men that were found dead of hypothermia,

581
00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:35,680
I guess our gift to you is always keep in mind,

582
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,599
be prepared. Always bring more than what you may need

583
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:48,759
because you may need it. Fuzzy underwear, warm clothes, thermal socks,

584
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,200
bring things to start a fire weed. Always make sure

585
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,400
you have some sort of communication with you, whether it's

586
00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:01,119
two way radio or cellular or satellite device. But always

587
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,680
be prepared. And I know most all of our researchers

588
00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:10,400
already know this, but an enthusiast that may listen to

589
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,840
the show and say, ooh, I want to go out

590
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,079
and look for big Foot. Well, if it's bad weather,

591
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,199
and it could be not a winter season, it could

592
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,880
just be heavy rains and you can get hypothermia just

593
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:28,519
from being over soaked. So be careful out there. And

594
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:31,920
that's all we want for you. We want everybody to

595
00:34:32,039 --> 00:34:35,039
go have an adventure and come back and share your

596
00:34:35,079 --> 00:34:41,280
reports in living form. When we come back, we're going

597
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,760
to open up a box of up and coming things

598
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:50,199
for twenty twenty six to look forward to.

that that we saw on the field, no, and then

659
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,719
and Aaron's out there, you know, he was like shrike

660
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,480
out of the car and that elk team right in

661
00:39:41,519 --> 00:39:43,719
front of the car. We got some great pictures and

662
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,679
he got that video. And the one thing that we

663
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,559
uh that we discussed when we were talking about is here,

664
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,000
and that was a bull elk, you know, probably a

665
00:39:53,039 --> 00:39:57,400
younger bullock, but still over one thousand pounds. And how

666
00:39:58,159 --> 00:40:01,119
uh once he got into the once he got into

667
00:40:01,159 --> 00:40:04,880
the field, how was able to blend in and a

668
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,360
thousand pound animal and we had problems keeping track of

669
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:14,400
where it was right, it moved quick and it moved

670
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,480
through that uh silently brush. Yeah, And it was really

671
00:40:20,159 --> 00:40:23,920
just uh that there would have been good to get

672
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,599
out to the public that you know, again, here's a

673
00:40:26,639 --> 00:40:29,920
live shot, you know, well a film shot of this

674
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,960
thousand pound animal you know, going through and you lose it,

675
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:38,679
you know, so for just how how things or animals

676
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,400
or people or others can hide.

677
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: You know, I I have to uh, I'm sorry, I

678
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,679
didn't mean to interrupt, but I did send Seth breedlove

679
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:55,039
a text day before yesterday that at some point I

680
00:40:55,079 --> 00:40:57,639
would love to have And this goes back to what

681
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,599
Scotch has posted. Uh, let's have a fail video of

682
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:07,800
a just make a collection of all the fail because

683
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,559
you got to bring a little bit of fun into

684
00:41:09,559 --> 00:41:13,000
all of this too, and to see the reality behind

685
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,159
all of this. Yeah.

686
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of the best ones weren't filmed, like Matt

687
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:19,239
almost taking a header.

688
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:25,199
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I'm gonna tell you my uh my arch nemesis.

689
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,719
Uh that entire time through the filming up of the

690
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:34,199
episode were the stairs between almost almost taking a flip

691
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,199
over last day when I was freeing my stuff down

692
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,880
in one of the you know, uh one hundred year

693
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:46,159
old oaks, happened to uh uh say time to yeah,

694
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,280
it was time to to break free.

695
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: Let's be fair.

696
00:41:51,639 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't help it any You know what I

697
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,360
see in the video for has become not quite a lightweight. So,

698
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,599
I mean we were putting a lot of pressure on

699
00:41:59,639 --> 00:42:01,679
those as mad as we were going up and down

700
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:02,360
that weekend.

701
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:08,079
Speaker 4: So speaking of that as well, is one thing that

702
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,679
I must say. You know, between Courtney and Heather Holy Colt,

703
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,280
are they awesome cooks?

704
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: Oh?

705
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know that was you know, we

706
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,920
came up there and I'm thinking, okay, well, I know,

707
00:42:21,119 --> 00:42:23,599
you know places we could go in Man, that first

708
00:42:23,639 --> 00:42:25,079
time I get in that chicken pop boy. You know

709
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:29,360
that for for a dutchment like myself, Man, that in

710
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:35,159
itself is absolute heaven. So but they did they they

711
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:41,920
treated us so well and I absolutely left working with them.

712
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 2: Oh, we had such a great time, didn't we met?

713
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,719
I mean, and spending time with Aaron, who I got

714
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,440
to know who I didn't really know outside just a

715
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,639
couple of conversations, you know, and being able to introduce

716
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,440
him to our area and talk about why this area

717
00:42:55,519 --> 00:43:01,840
is important to us and you know, sharing my and

718
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,480
and bringing him to meet folks that are important to us,

719
00:43:06,159 --> 00:43:08,360
and that that part was great, and there were more

720
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,320
people we could introduce them to. But we didn't have

721
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,599
a lot of time, like we stumbled a lot, crammed

722
00:43:14,639 --> 00:43:17,360
a lot into a few days. And of course Baker

723
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,280
didn't make a cameo in that at all, which I

724
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:20,880
know a lot of people were upset about.

725
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 3: So we're sorry that I wasn't on the email chain.

726
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: We miscommunicated with Baker and but we had a great time.

727
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,559
I would do it again, definitely, and I would do

728
00:43:33,639 --> 00:43:36,599
some things differently. I would probably like to have a

729
00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:39,199
little bit more field time. But again, what we talked

730
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,360
about is you know when stuff are happening when you're

731
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,599
not paying attention. That whole stuff around the campfire that

732
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,000
night was not planned stuff. We were just going to

733
00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:50,679
sit there and shoot the shit and get some b

734
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,960
roll and it ended up turning into a legitimate investigation.

735
00:43:54,039 --> 00:43:57,360
And I people you know, probably won't believe it, but

736
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:02,079
that's that's the fucking truth. Like, yeah, that's what happened.

737
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,840
If we were gonna do something more, we would have

738
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,679
kept Matt there. I mean, let's be honest. You know,

739
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,760
Gwen happened to be there with us that day. It

740
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,639
was a long drive for her to go home, so

741
00:44:13,679 --> 00:44:17,280
she stayed with us at the cabin and we just

742
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,800
sat around just wanting to have a good time and

743
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:24,199
kind of talk. But it turned into more and that

744
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,639
was really cool. You know, everybody's asked me, what do

745
00:44:27,679 --> 00:44:29,760
you think that was in the true I don't know.

746
00:44:30,519 --> 00:44:32,480
It would be easy to say a raccoon, It would

747
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,360
be easy to say something, but when you look at

748
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,760
the mechanics of how it moved in the moment. It

749
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,440
didn't match up to those things. And if you watch it,

750
00:44:40,519 --> 00:44:42,119
I was really bothered by.

751
00:44:43,199 --> 00:44:45,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could tell that you were bothered by it

752
00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:48,320
because of the fact that you're, like, I keep seeing

753
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,119
this thing bobbing in and out behind the tree. That's

754
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,960
it's not that it's uncommon for animals to do, no,

755
00:44:57,119 --> 00:44:59,519
but it's rare. It's very rare.

756
00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:02,559
Speaker 2: You'd have been able to identify it quicker if it

757
00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:07,239
was something, But even the sizing isn't right. When you

758
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,159
see it in the trees, that looks small, but when

759
00:45:09,159 --> 00:45:13,679
you see it in person, did not. Like That's that's

760
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:19,320
the difference that I keep trying to expel to people,

761
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:25,199
like Aaron would not have got that excited over a raccoon.

762
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:26,159
Speaker 1: Right.

763
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:32,679
Speaker 2: Also, he did one thing that nobody else ever does.

764
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:38,199
His camera quit working, so he grabbed another camera. Everything

765
00:45:38,199 --> 00:45:42,039
we've talked about forever and preached, he did it. We

766
00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:45,119
only got that shot because he whipped his camera out,

767
00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:48,840
his phone out and got it. Like that's the other

768
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,159
magnificent part of all that. So a lot of that

769
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,119
credit goes to Aaron because he you know, I had

770
00:45:55,199 --> 00:45:59,000
thought I saw something move like an arm in that

771
00:45:59,159 --> 00:46:03,039
area and we've been hearing like calls back and forth

772
00:46:03,079 --> 00:46:06,519
throughout the night, so we were really starting to pay attention.

773
00:46:07,519 --> 00:46:11,760
And again, I don't know what that was, and it

774
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,960
bothered me because it adds more mystery to that and

775
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,800
people can tell us all day long, this is what

776
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,800
it was, and if it is great And I think

777
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,440
I said later on in the one episode that the

778
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,880
thing I was proud about the most is after the

779
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,800
high War off, we all went into debunking mode.

780
00:46:27,079 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: Yep, right right, and that's what we needed to do.

781
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,079
Speaker 2: And I think that was telling and then being able

782
00:46:34,079 --> 00:46:36,920
to get out to the area where it is. When

783
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,400
I was able to get out to my area and

784
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,599
which I hadn't been back to since I think twenty

785
00:46:42,639 --> 00:46:46,559
sixteen was the last time I was there. When we

786
00:46:46,599 --> 00:46:49,480
went to Parker Dam that year, Matt and I had

787
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,159
the kids there and we played the baby Crying tape.

788
00:46:52,199 --> 00:46:54,519
Scared the hell out of my boy Gabe and my

789
00:46:54,559 --> 00:46:57,519
little cousin Blake, and you.

790
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: Know, we had a really Oh.

791
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,119
Speaker 2: It was weird to be there because it kind of

792
00:47:03,159 --> 00:47:06,400
brought back the feelings, but it was good to be

793
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,480
there at the same time because I was able to

794
00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:14,159
process it better now than when it happened. I also,

795
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,320
which I take full credit for and responsibility, botched the

796
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,239
timeline on my sighting when I was telling it in

797
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,480
the in the in the field, because I was nervous.

798
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,719
I don't know why. Of all the times I told

799
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,760
that story, I don't know why I was nervous telling

800
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,960
it there, but I just kind of got some of the.

801
00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:35,679
Speaker 1: Oh, maybe you just wanted to make sure you got

802
00:47:35,679 --> 00:47:39,039
all the facts straight and to keep yeah, all the

803
00:47:39,159 --> 00:47:44,599
linear information in order, right. I could understand that right.

804
00:47:44,639 --> 00:47:46,599
Speaker 2: And also Dave was there, and that's the first time

805
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,760
Dave and I have been there to that spot talking

806
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,039
about it, so it was really kind of bringing back

807
00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:55,800
those feelings while I was, you know, retelling that story.

808
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,400
And you know, the more and more I tell it,

809
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:03,159
the less the less extra the less significant it seems.

810
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,239
But it's because I've lived it and lived it and

811
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,880
lived it other people that I hear this is like,

812
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,719
oh my god, that's amazing. It gets less amazing anmore

813
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,480
you tell it, you know, like yeah, but it was

814
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:17,679
a very important impactful moment to me, and I was

815
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,639
glad I was able to share it and take people

816
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,880
back to that spot, which had been changed a little bit,

817
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,840
but not as much as I had thought it was.

818
00:48:28,039 --> 00:48:30,639
Speaker 4: I'll tell you one thing with me, and it's such

819
00:48:30,639 --> 00:48:33,800
a it's gonna be a really kind of weird analogy,

820
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,920
but I'm gonna say this is the only like negative

821
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,119
I feel about it. It's almost like a survivor's skill

822
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,000
in like police work, or you know that you had

823
00:48:47,079 --> 00:48:49,719
something happen and you weren't able to be there, you

824
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,400
weren't able to know it does when I was getting

825
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,760
the text from you that night and I'm like, oh

826
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,880
my god, you know, like the stars just did not

827
00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:02,360
align for me that because again I had the I

828
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,639
had the high end thermal, I had the night vision.

829
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,119
I I you know, I would let you guys go

830
00:49:09,199 --> 00:49:13,360
and you know, and I'm Monday morning quarterback, like you

831
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,480
guys did everything right. I for myself, I would be

832
00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:20,360
probably doing a belly crawl, you know, to try to

833
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,239
to try to go in flank whatever was out even

834
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,320
though there was there was multiple calls coming back and forth.

835
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,440
I would try to find that, you know, And I'm

836
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,039
just thinking to myself, man, I.

837
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 2: How many times did I say snakes?

838
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 4: Man?

839
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 2: I know, I know, because like.

840
00:49:42,119 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 4: Like that that close yeah, I would be doing whatever

841
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,480
I could to uh and uh. But again I think

842
00:49:50,519 --> 00:49:53,639
that the way that you guys were out there that

843
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,559
was that was so perfect for you know, like I said,

844
00:49:57,599 --> 00:49:59,960
if you had that one extra person, but with that

845
00:50:00,039 --> 00:50:03,360
out having that extra person doing what you did, you

846
00:50:03,559 --> 00:50:06,440
had that interaction with whatever was out there.

847
00:50:06,559 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: Right and you know what it was.

848
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 4: And then going back to what we were teaching Aaron.

849
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,480
I I told Aaron when my encounter was on the

850
00:50:16,599 --> 00:50:19,559
very first part of that of the last episode, and

851
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,400
I told him, I said, I was sitting here watching

852
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:26,079
this tree shake, you know, and I said, the one

853
00:50:26,159 --> 00:50:28,800
thing that I didn't do that you would think I

854
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:33,079
would is to grab my phone to get that footage.

855
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:34,079
Speaker 1: I did it.

856
00:50:34,519 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 4: And for Aaron to pick up on that and to

857
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:43,400
and to to really you know, uh legitimately, you know,

858
00:50:43,559 --> 00:50:46,159
you go from camera to camera. That was that was

859
00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:49,079
incredibly awesome and I was so happy to see that.

860
00:50:49,199 --> 00:50:53,559
And I'll tell you you know, Uh, if somebody had

861
00:50:53,599 --> 00:50:56,000
asked in the in the comments too, would we want

862
00:50:56,039 --> 00:50:59,159
to do this again? Oh heck yeah, you know, I

863
00:50:59,199 --> 00:51:02,880
mean yeah, and you know, we'd love to have Alex

864
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,320
with us, you know, on on one of these.

865
00:51:05,159 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah myself, you know, just going into that you know,

866
00:51:10,519 --> 00:51:13,760
looks like they do it. Yeah, like a guy who fork.

867
00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:15,599
Speaker 1: Wow.

868
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 4: Other areas, you know, Uh, if we go you know,

869
00:51:22,039 --> 00:51:26,920
mid Atlantic area, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Uh, you know,

870
00:51:27,079 --> 00:51:30,639
New York. Yeah, that would be uh, that would be outstanding.

871
00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:33,840
We would love to do that. And again it's going

872
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,360
full circle again to the beginning. It's not about the money,

873
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,559
it's about having fun. And you know, like I said,

874
00:51:41,679 --> 00:51:44,440
if there were so many good people that you meet

875
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,480
in the big Foot community and you do, you become

876
00:51:47,519 --> 00:51:50,840
lifelong friends. Uh, you know, not not just with us,

877
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,400
but like you know, with Gwen. You know, one an awesome,

878
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,360
awesome person. She was and I'm glad that she was there,

879
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,199
although all he saw from the very beginning was her

880
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,280
walking directly to the eyeshine.

881
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:08,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, you know, but listen, those ladies.

882
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,119
Speaker 2: Have balls, man. Let me tell you they are all.

883
00:52:11,639 --> 00:52:14,840
When this stuff happening, I was more concerned that they

884
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,840
were going to get crazy and Aaron and I were

885
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,280
going to be like I was concerned that they were

886
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,920
going to go get shit done, and he and I

887
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,280
were going to looking like pans. Yeah, because we were

888
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,079
like I went into strategy mode and kind of like

889
00:52:29,199 --> 00:52:31,400
analytical mode, and these let's go, let's get out there,

890
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,559
let's see what this is like. Ladies, come on, let's

891
00:52:33,559 --> 00:52:36,280
back down. Not Gwen, she's leading the charge.

892
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:36,599
Speaker 1: You know.

893
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's that's great.

894
00:52:40,159 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 2: I mean, but there was so much that, you know,

895
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,800
the editing, which was done well, by the way, I

896
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,840
wasn't edited at a sequencer made to seem scary and stupid.

897
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,760
It was done well. But you know, they were really

898
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,800
a significant part of that. And you know, one of

899
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,840
the things I talk about is celebrating the women in

900
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,760
our field and the great work and the contributions they make.

901
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,800
They all did a fantastic job that wee can decide

902
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,639
from just Aaron and I and you like, we were

903
00:53:04,679 --> 00:53:08,360
able to introduce you know, the world to great friends,

904
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,280
the people that spent a lot of time out there

905
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:15,199
in the alleghenies. And you know, I said, I've seen

906
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,559
the comments, and you know, I always feel bad because

907
00:53:18,599 --> 00:53:20,719
I don't read them. You know, Matt, I told you

908
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,239
I wasn't going to read them anymore. And I've stayed

909
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,079
pretty good to that. I've been good. But remember they

910
00:53:26,079 --> 00:53:28,039
are real people who do real things, and it takes

911
00:53:28,079 --> 00:53:29,800
a lot of courage to get up there and talk

912
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,679
about your experiences and your research in a world where

913
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,079
you're already made fun of because of what you believe

914
00:53:36,119 --> 00:53:39,840
in what you're doing. I'm very proud of our friends.

915
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:40,639
They all showed up.

916
00:53:40,639 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: Well.

917
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 2: It was great to finally meet Paul Boggden, somebody I've

918
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,239
heard of for years, and you know, just great to

919
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,400
be with Jeff and Julie. I think it might have

920
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,400
been the first through the door hug that anybody's ever

921
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,440
done through a pickup truck with me and Jep. I'm

922
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:55,199
a hugger of folks.

923
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,760
Speaker 1: I really am. Hopefully they're always that the evidence.

924
00:53:59,159 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 2: I'm a hunger and I love people. It's what we do,

925
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,519
and I think that's what really brought you know, I

926
00:54:06,519 --> 00:54:09,119
think brought a little difference is introducing all these crazy

927
00:54:09,159 --> 00:54:11,440
people in Pennsylvania that love to look for Bigfoot. There

928
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,320
is a lot of fun. Yep, any terry you want

929
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:16,880
to throw in there at all, vans on it or

930
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,880
any final thoughts, I'm sorry, Matt, go ahead and then

931
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:19,639
we'll go to vance.

932
00:54:20,559 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say though. There was so much

933
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,519
and we talked about the editing. There was so much

934
00:54:25,559 --> 00:54:29,000
that I wish could have gotten in and again, I'd

935
00:54:29,039 --> 00:54:32,480
love to see in in maybe an like you know,

936
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:37,519
out like a clip episode maybe you know, down the line.

937
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:44,000
But yeah, this was a fantastic series to work on,

938
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,119
and you know, hopefully we get to do it again.

939
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 2: I hope. So I mean a lot of fun and

940
00:54:52,039 --> 00:54:55,440
that we're not that we're pandering, but we're pandering, but

941
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,360
it would be great Vans.

942
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,119
Speaker 1: You know, A couple of things that I did take

943
00:55:03,159 --> 00:55:10,519
away watching what you guys did was the genuine reaction

944
00:55:11,519 --> 00:55:15,199
to what the experience was at the time from everybody.

945
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,800
It was very genuine. It was very guttural. I don't

946
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,719
know if that's the right word to use, but it was.

947
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:27,920
It was very genuine and explaining to each other everybody

948
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,639
else's experience as to what's going on. And there was

949
00:55:30,679 --> 00:55:34,679
a lot of correlation that meshed to make the same

950
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,360
experience and then to move forward to try to figure

951
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:43,760
out what was going on. And I couldn't. I couldn't

952
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,400
put paws on to go in the kitchen and get

953
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,679
a snack. I just had to sit there and continue watching.

954
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,199
So it was very compelling as to what was happening

955
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:55,079
at the time.

956
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,039
Speaker 2: There wasn't a day Matt and I that we didn't

957
00:55:58,079 --> 00:56:01,039
have fun working on that project. Yeah, and you know,

958
00:56:01,079 --> 00:56:03,639
of course it's leading into our book that's coming out

959
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,800
next year's I mean, Matt and I are writing Elusive Truth,

960
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:13,920
which is kind of a companion to Investigation Bigfoot. It's

961
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,639
been moments of heat writing it and then moments of cold.

962
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,559
But we are going to get back here out of

963
00:56:19,559 --> 00:56:22,639
the holidays, settling down, we can get heavy into it.

964
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,519
I think it's going to be different than what folks

965
00:56:24,519 --> 00:56:27,599
are used to and I think you're going to get

966
00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:29,880
to know us a little bit more intimately in terms

967
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:35,760
of our backgrounds and our experiences with Yeah, I mean

968
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,000
it might be man, you're going to read a lot

969
00:56:40,039 --> 00:56:45,480
about some of my earlier, earlier encounters and stories from

970
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,599
when I first got involved in this, so it's pretty cool.

971
00:56:48,679 --> 00:56:50,519
And then of course a lot of case study that's

972
00:56:50,519 --> 00:56:53,280
going to go into it too that Matt's compiling. You know,

973
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,320
we're probably going to have a pretty pre comprehensive citing

974
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,760
report book for in that as well.

975
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, well how's this Sean? You know, Scott made

976
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,960
the comment he's not a fan of snakes either.

977
00:57:09,199 --> 00:57:15,599
Speaker 7: Go ahead, Henry, I was just gonna say I also

978
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,159
enjoy Small Town Monster is the latest episode which is

979
00:57:19,239 --> 00:57:23,679
about the search in western North Carolina for.

Speaker 3: Of course, film the Ancients bit with the Ancients.

981
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: Right, you know, we're going to be a lot of

982
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,159
stuff coming from these regions that I really appreciate and enjoy.

983
00:57:35,639 --> 00:57:37,360
And we're just glad to be a part of the ride.

984
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:38,079
