<v Speaker 4>And now you're hosts Cliff Berrickman and James Bobo Fay.

6
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Hey, everybody, welcome to Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

7
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 2>Bobo and Matt and everybody else in the world on

8
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>this side of the microphone and you on the other

9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 2>side of the microphone and speakers and all that good stuff.

10
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Bobo was out squatching until late last night. We have

11
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 2>an appointment with him this morning to do the podcast,

12
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 2>but he is not here yet, but he did give

13
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 2>us a heads up whatever. At least we know he's coming.

14
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>So we are starting a kind of on time. We

15
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 2>usually do start pretty close to on time. We're just

16
00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>doing it without Bobo. We're gonna see how long it

17
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>takes him to show up today.

18
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 4>We should make it clear. Bobo told us to start

19
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 4>without him. He said, go ahead and start, I'll be

20
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 4>in there as soon as I can. And so we're

21
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.079
<v Speaker 4>not trying to start without Bobo. We are following his

22
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 4>instructions to the letter.

23
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, although he did not tell us to do

24
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>an over under, so I think that we should do that.

25
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 5>For sure, for sure.

26
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, so over under. Let's see it is. Uh,

27
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>we started one minute and five seconds ago, according to

28
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 2>the recording timer. Do you think, Matt, he's going to

29
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 2>be more than twenty minutes late or less?

30
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 3>I'll go less, you're.

31
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Gonna go less than twenty minutes? What number do you think.

32
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:38.200
<v Speaker 3>Between ten and fifteen?

33
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 4>Let's just say twelve minutes thirty seconds to split the

34
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 4>difference between ten and fifteen.

35
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm writing that down. I am not so optimistic

36
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 2>or I am optimistic, depending on how you look at

37
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 2>these things. I think Bobo will be thirty five minutes late.

38
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 4>Is this like the price is right, like you wager

39
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 4>one dollar or whatever?

40
00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, exactly what. We will play it by those

41
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>So if he's I think he will be less than

42
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 2>thirty five minutes late. How's that? And then you think

43
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna be less than twelve minutes and thirty seconds late?

44
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Got of work?

45
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

46
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Of course, there's no money on this or anything like that.

47
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>It's just a good, good natured gentleman's bet sort of thing.

48
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 2>Because I think there's a very real possibility that both

49
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 2>of us are going to be wrong on this one,

50
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>but we'll see, we'll see. But that's what membership is

51
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>for because he'll certainly be here by the end of

52
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>the hour, so he'll be participating in the membership episode.

53
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>And if you want to be a member and listen

54
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>to a little bit more Bobo on these episodes, you

55
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>can just click that link in the show notes below.

56
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 2>There's other benefits besides listening to Bobo more often. One

57
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>of those benefits is you gets an extra show every

58
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>single week where we get a little bit looser, we

59
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>get a little bit more willy nilly, a little bit

60
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>loosey goosey on that side of things. But also when

61
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>we talk about things and oh, I've got a picture

62
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>of that, you get to see the picture because we

63
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>post those things on the Patreon. When there's a discussion

64
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>that perhaps I covered in a North American Bigfoot Center video,

65
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I actually give the video to the members as well.

66
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 2>So there's a lot a lot of benefits. And finally,

67
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 2>one more benefit of being a member being an honorary pigeon.

68
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 2>As we say, you get this episode that you're listening

69
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>to at this very moment, completely ad free. So go

70
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>ahead and click that link below, tie your five dollars

71
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 2>and become a member because it's cool. That's it on

72
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 2>that side of things. What's going on, Matt? Anything good?

73
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 4>I think you're about to congratulate me.

74
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I certainly am. Congratulations Matt. Now you need to

75
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 2>tell me why.

76
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Look at the screen.

77
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Look at the screen. I see guests. I don't see

78
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Bobo yet.

79
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 4>We'll see it appears that someone is trying to log

80
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 4>in at as our counter reads three minutes and forty

81
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 4>two seconds, so.

82
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 3>We will see.

83
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 4>Okay, since we do have a topic to get into,

84
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 4>if Bobo jumps in before we get to that topic,

85
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 4>maybe he can fill us in on what happened in

86
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 4>the field, so we don't interrupt.

87
00:03:58.360 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 3>The topic to hear about that, because I do want

88
00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 3>to here if he had any good look out there.

89
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I think he was one of the bluff

90
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 2>creaker thereabout, so I'd like to hear about that as well.

91
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 4>But in the meantime, while this guest is attempting to

92
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 4>log in, we get a lot of these great Q

93
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 4>and A submissions that are amazing questions that as soon

94
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 4>as I see him I'm like, oh, man, we could

95
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 4>talk about that for two hours. There's just no short

96
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 4>answer to that question, or you couldn't do the question

97
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 4>justice with a short answer in the context of like

98
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 4>a ten or twelve question and answer episode. And so

99
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 4>we did one of those recently for the members, and

100
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 4>you had a funny line at the end because I said,

101
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.639
<v Speaker 4>I think we went you know, beyond for this member

102
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 4>and answered the question, and you said, oh, I think

103
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 4>we went above and beyond. So I thought, oh, it'd

104
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 4>be fun to do a little like above and Beyond series.

105
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 4>I almost titled the member episode that, and then another

106
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 4>one of our members, a pigeon, commented and was like, oh.

107
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 3>You should do these as a series called Above.

108
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 4>And Beyond, Bigfoot and Beyond. So I really liked that idea.

109
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 4>And so today we had a couple of those on

110
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 4>the table that have been sitting in our Q and

111
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 4>A inbox for a while. Address So we're going to

112
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.199
<v Speaker 4>do one of those here for the main episode. Obviously,

113
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 4>I won't reveal what that is yet until our guest

114
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 4>completes the log in process, which is still ongoing. And

115
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 4>so now you know, I edit these so it won't

116
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 4>line up with what the listener sees. But now we're

117
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 4>at five minutes and twenty one seconds and the guest

118
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 4>is still trying to log in, so that congratulations might

119
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.240
<v Speaker 4>not have been It might have been premature because it

120
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 4>might take another seven minutes, in which case you would

121
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 4>win and I would have to congratulate you. Yeah, you

122
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 4>don't count your pigeon eggs before they hatch.

123
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:40.199
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm sorry, I see P equal bracket P minus James.

124
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>So that's Bobo's call in line. I think you won

125
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 2>six minutes and forty eight seconds. Can you hear us, Bobouck,

126
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I guess that means yes, you are just in time.

127
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 4>So we told the listeners that you been out late

128
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 4>squatching and so you were getting a late start, and

129
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 4>so we hadn't even gotten into the proposed topics yet.

130
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 4>So this is perfect timing because I'm sure people want

131
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.519
<v Speaker 4>to know if you had it, and we want to

132
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 4>know if you had any action out there.

133
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, tell us about your trip, all.

134
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.040
<v Speaker 4>Right, listeners. So there was just you're going to hear

135
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 4>some time compression because we had to stop the session

136
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.680
<v Speaker 4>and start recording again. And by the time the session stopped,

137
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 4>it was at twelve minutes and sixteen seconds, and several

138
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.399
<v Speaker 4>minutes have passed since in so I actually lost the bet.

139
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 4>Cliff has won the bet. So congratulations to you, Cliff, Thank.

140
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 2>You very much.

141
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 5>I bet I've got somebody else will be twenty minutes.

142
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 4>I said you would be here by twelve minutes and

143
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 4>thirty seconds, and you logged in before that, and so

144
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 4>I started congratulating myself, but then it didn't work. And

145
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 4>so now that we're finally rolling, it's beyond that time.

146
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh man, inquiring minds, Cliff and myself included, I want

147
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 4>to know how was your trip in the field?

148
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, where'd you go? Who'd you go with?

149
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 5>We'll say that from the members.

150
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll give them a little bit of something special. Then.

151
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, in our effort to go above and beyond bigfoot

152
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 4>and beyond for some of these listener questions, we got

153
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 4>a great question from a pigeon recently named Angela, and

154
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 4>she had asked, I've been doing some unrelated research and

155
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 4>was reminded of the observer effect in quantum physics. How

156
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker 4>do you all think that relates to bigfooting ie field research?

157
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.279
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's a great question, and there's definitely

158
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 4>no short answer to it, So I thought that'd be

159
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.920
<v Speaker 4>a fun topic to discuss for the next hour with

160
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 4>our listeners here, especially those who are aspiring or active

161
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 4>field researchers.

162
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and of course, I think probably the best way

163
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 2>to start that conversation is to define what the observer

164
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.560
<v Speaker 2>effect is, because it's mostly used in physics, you know,

165
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:55.319
<v Speaker 2>and particularly quantum mechanics. I think the most common terminology

166
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:57.399
<v Speaker 2>for it would be the Heisenberg and certainty principle. I

167
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 2>think that's a version of this real simple it's much much,

168
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>much more simple than that. It's basically that by observing

169
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:10.759
<v Speaker 2>a situation, you change that situation. Now that is true everywhere,

170
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, Like, for example, I know that in the

171
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.600
<v Speaker 2>morning of if Melissa is working in the kitchen and

172
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I go out and I just stand there and look,

173
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.439
<v Speaker 2>she's going to go, what the hell you're looking at? Like,

174
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:21.160
<v Speaker 2>what's your problem?

175
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:21.560
<v Speaker 5>What are you doing?

176
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>And it's going to weird her out, essentially because my

177
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>observation of this situation changed that situation. That's a very

178
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.840
<v Speaker 2>obvious example of the observer effect, you know, but there's many,

179
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 2>many others, and I think for this conversation, we're obviously

180
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.679
<v Speaker 2>talking about sasquatches release the context of sasquatches, So we're

181
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.240
<v Speaker 2>looking at wildlife. And again I see this every day

182
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>as well. Melissa has taken to feeding the birds, and

183
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.759
<v Speaker 2>for a while she's feeding the squirrels and chipmunks, but

184
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.639
<v Speaker 2>I kind of discouraged her from doing that because they

185
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>are rodents and they will live in our walls. We

186
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>already have one in the wall somewhere. I can hear

187
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 2>it scritch scratch around at night. But I don't necessarily

188
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>want to gather rodents to a safe haven in my home,

189
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>right But birds are way cooler in that sort of way,

190
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 2>although I still don't trust him so and I know

191
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.600
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, like Melissa goes out to you know,

192
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 2>check the feeders and all that sort of stuff and

193
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 2>do what she enjoys doing, and by her being out there,

194
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the birds act differently, the squirrels act differently, everything acts differently.

195
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:27.600
<v Speaker 2>The observer effect. So clearly that's true of sasquatches as well.

196
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 2>And I've I've been kind of ranting about this a

197
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 2>bit because a few years ago I heard a pretty

198
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>prominent bigfoot researcher say that what could another footprint cast

199
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.919
<v Speaker 2>possibly teach us and I was just aghast at that,

200
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, just like what I'm not a ridiculous thing

201
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 2>to say. And because you know, when if somebody is

202
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 2>lucky enough to see a sasquatch, they're most likely their

203
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.639
<v Speaker 2>observation of the animal is going to last two to

204
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 2>three seconds or so. Yeah, not very long. Basically, So

205
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.799
<v Speaker 2>I've been arguing very loudly for years that the only

206
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:05.559
<v Speaker 2>way to observe a sasquatch and its natural habitat without

207
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>changing its behavior, which comes back to the observer effect,

208
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 2>is by tracking them. That's it, because if you're lucky

209
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 2>to see one for two or three seconds, you're not

210
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.399
<v Speaker 2>going to have a long look. Almost certainly the sasquatch

211
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 2>is going to realize as being observed, although that's not

212
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 2>always true, and then it's going to change its behavior,

213
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:26.120
<v Speaker 2>most likely by assessing the threat, which is you, and

214
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 2>or walking away and leaving the situation. So the only

215
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.799
<v Speaker 2>to me, the only effective way of observing sasquatches in

216
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 2>their natural habitat without changing their behavior is by observing

217
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 2>the stuff they leave behind their spore in other words,

218
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 2>the footprints, forging sign, whatever else is behind them, hair, whatever,

219
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>and then trying to decipher that trying to read the

220
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.799
<v Speaker 2>tracking essentially, which is why I'm so gung ho about it,

221
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.320
<v Speaker 2>because I'm deeply interested in the animals themselves. Yeah, I

222
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.159
<v Speaker 2>don't know, maybe that's it for me. What else you

223
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 2>have to say?

224
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, as you had brought up, it applies heavily to wildlife.

225
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:02.320
<v Speaker 4>One of the examples that comes to mind is that,

226
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 4>as I understand it, during the initial observational field studies

227
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 4>that Jane Goodall conducted in Gombay, there was a lot

228
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 4>of criticism because she was introducing food and so it

229
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.480
<v Speaker 4>wasn't necessarily the observation of natural behavior of chimpanzees in

230
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 4>their natural habitat. But you know, in attempting to have

231
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.360
<v Speaker 4>closer observations of living chimpanzees, she enticed them with food

232
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.000
<v Speaker 4>and that of course changed their behavior. So she's still

233
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 4>observing chimpanzees. But you know, to split hairs, you could

234
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 4>easily say, well, that's you're not observing natural behavior, you're

235
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 4>influencing that behavior. Airgo, you're influencing the phenomenon that you're

236
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.639
<v Speaker 4>trying to observe. But obviously her contributions are great, and

237
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, I think those criticisms might have been warranted

238
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.559
<v Speaker 4>in the day, but we've all benefited tremendously from her methods.

239
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 3>But it did raise questions.

240
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 4>I guess that there was some degree of aggression that

241
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.960
<v Speaker 4>was first documented by Goodall that you know, sort of

242
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.720
<v Speaker 4>shocking and paradigm shifting to the idea that chimpanzees were

243
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 4>these sort of like gentle animals that were non violent,

244
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, as opposed to us their violent cousins, and

245
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 4>so a lot of I think that early criticism was that, well,

246
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 4>they're only violent because they're competing over this food that

247
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.000
<v Speaker 4>you introduced. Ergo, you know, we have to question whether

248
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 4>or not they are naturally violent, which now that's been

249
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 4>soundly put to rest. They are very naturally violent critters,

250
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 4>scarily so. But I think it does apply to the

251
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.320
<v Speaker 4>field in a lot of ways. One of the analogies

252
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.840
<v Speaker 4>I've used before is that, you know, if you could

253
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 4>imagine that you were a police officer who was getting

254
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 4>a call frequently from a local resident who said that

255
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 4>there was a prowler coming to their property every night

256
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 4>and jiggling the door handle, trying to break in, peering

257
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 4>in the windows, and you wanted to see if this

258
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 4>prowler existed and if so apprehend them, how would you

259
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 4>conduct yourself? Well, if you were to go out there

260
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 4>in your cruiser and park in the driveway, you know,

261
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 4>in the front yard, right in front of the house,

262
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 4>and leave your blue lights on and observe no such prowler,

263
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 4>would it be fair to say, well, the phenomenon this

264
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 4>claimant is describing doesn't exist, because I went there, I searched,

265
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.159
<v Speaker 4>and nothing appeared to me that would empirically prove to

266
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.080
<v Speaker 4>me that this phenomenon exists to be observed. And I

267
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.879
<v Speaker 4>think anyone would say, well, no, you change the environment,

268
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 4>because a prowler likely isn't going to approach the house

269
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.399
<v Speaker 4>when there's a police cruiser with the blue lights on

270
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:29.159
<v Speaker 4>in the driveway all night. The reason I use that

271
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 4>analogy is I think that applies to a lot of

272
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.879
<v Speaker 4>what sasquatch field research is is that if you're trying

273
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.000
<v Speaker 4>to study this phenomenon that people describe, so you take

274
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.440
<v Speaker 4>those testimonies and what is it that they're describing. Well,

275
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 4>what they describe approximates a living animal, and based on

276
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.639
<v Speaker 4>the sort of overarching patterns of all the interactions, observations,

277
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.600
<v Speaker 4>and behaviors, it seems to be a very wary, elusive,

278
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 4>furtive animal that flees from human contact and tries to

279
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 4>avoid human detection. And so if you're in the field,

280
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 4>if you don't conduct yourself as if that's the kind

281
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.039
<v Speaker 4>of thing you're trying to observe, you might be influencing it.

282
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 4>So if you're hoping to observe a living sasquatch and

283
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:14.600
<v Speaker 4>you're being very loud, very visible, you know offensive. You know,

284
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 4>how many times have we seen people go out and

285
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.320
<v Speaker 4>slam the car doors and smoke half a pack of

286
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 4>cigarettes and talk loudly and then cough and clear their

287
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 4>throat and then do a bigfoot howl expecting that they're

288
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.720
<v Speaker 4>going to trick a sasquatch into responding back because it

289
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.320
<v Speaker 4>thinks there's another sasquatch in the area, Like it wouldn't

290
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 4>have detected all of the indications that there was a

291
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 4>human involved, or it's not optimum, it's not optimal. Well,

292
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.240
<v Speaker 4>my point is that so many people might go into

293
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:46.519
<v Speaker 4>the field that way and then when nothing happens, say yeah,

294
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 4>there was never anything here to begin with, just like

295
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 4>the cop might say, yeah, this person's lying, there's no prowler.

296
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.759
<v Speaker 3>I looked. It's like, well, did you really look.

297
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 4>You know, you have a hypothesis, which is that the

298
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.679
<v Speaker 4>phenomenon exists, and how do you conduct the experiment? Well,

299
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.399
<v Speaker 4>you have to, at least in this case, which I

300
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.480
<v Speaker 4>think makes it sort of unscientific. You have to behave

301
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.679
<v Speaker 4>as if the phenomenon does exist, Like you have to

302
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:15.519
<v Speaker 4>conduct yourself as if sasquatches are real animals for the

303
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:19.360
<v Speaker 4>most part, if you're trying to conduct that experiment.

<v Speaker 3>Does that make sense, Well.

337
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course, I mean it's like you know, money

338
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 2>maker would always criticize people for doing woodknocks wrong, and

339
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.079
<v Speaker 2>he was absolutely correct, by the way, even though the

340
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 2>people who are like, what, how do you do a

341
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 2>woodknock wrong? Well, it's the context. The context of the

342
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.960
<v Speaker 2>situation dictates whether you're doing it correctly or not, because

343
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, hitting the tree with a bat, there's only

344
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.079
<v Speaker 2>so many ways you can do it right. You can

345
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>choose the right place in the tree and choose the

346
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:41.599
<v Speaker 2>right kind of wood and tree and all that kind

347
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.680
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. There's things you know can't you can affect right.

348
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 2>But one of the things that people do, the civilians

349
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 2>generally do this is they roll up to a campsite,

350
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.000
<v Speaker 2>they get everything out, they're making them some noise, and

351
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.279
<v Speaker 2>at midnight or something, they step slightly away from the

352
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.720
<v Speaker 2>fire and do tree knocks. And that's the wrong way

353
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 2>to do it. That's the wrong way to do it

354
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.440
<v Speaker 2>because your fire is there, you've been there for a

355
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.079
<v Speaker 2>couple hours generally making some noise. Every sasquatch, every bear,

356
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.960
<v Speaker 2>every deer, every elk, every every critter with an earshot

357
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.039
<v Speaker 2>knows you're there, and you're just training the sasquatches that,

358
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, yeah, this is a human thing doing this

359
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 2>is something humans do. Now, they probably don't get that

360
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:21.640
<v Speaker 2>they're doing it for them, because, oh, that's just more

361
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.359
<v Speaker 2>weird human noises, because humans make weird noises, you know,

362
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 2>the correct way to do something like that, if you're

363
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.720
<v Speaker 2>having a bonfire or having friends.

364
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.680
<v Speaker 5>That's an assumption. Clue that they don't know we're doing

365
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.359
<v Speaker 5>it for them.

366
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:33.680
<v Speaker 2>It is. I think it's a pretty safe assumption, the

367
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:35.640
<v Speaker 2>same way that I like deer necessarily know that we're

368
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:38.440
<v Speaker 2>doing we're banging on a tree for or whatever. You know,

369
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:43.119
<v Speaker 2>like I think that animals, that's true. That is an assumption.

370
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.279
<v Speaker 2>But I think it's a pretty safe assumption that that

371
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 2>any weird noise coming from a human camp, I think

372
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.319
<v Speaker 2>is just going to be interpreted as a weird noise

373
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:54.519
<v Speaker 2>coming from a human camp.

374
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.559
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think they know that, we admit it. I

375
00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 5>think they know we do knocks and whistles and calls

376
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:02.680
<v Speaker 5>we do. Especially since the show came out so many

377
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:03.880
<v Speaker 5>people have done it all over the place. I think

378
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.519
<v Speaker 5>they're pretty aware of it now. They don't get they

379
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:09.359
<v Speaker 5>don't get us fired up when they hear it at first, now,

380
00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 5>like they don't have to come charging in hardly. Ever,

381
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.160
<v Speaker 5>if you do knocks and calls, like the first time

382
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:17.839
<v Speaker 5>you do it somewhere like like ever then they jabbed

383
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:18.960
<v Speaker 5>some places.

384
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:20.759
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't seem like it's changed their behavior at all.

385
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.599
<v Speaker 2>I like bumping, Yeah, like bumping, you know. So I

386
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.799
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I have no idea. I guess I don't

387
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.400
<v Speaker 2>know if it's it's best to assume that they think

388
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 2>that we're after them or not. But I think hitting

389
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:34.319
<v Speaker 2>a tree with a baseball bat at the edge of

390
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:36.720
<v Speaker 2>the fire, I don't think it's any sasquatch would assume,

391
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh they're doing that for me. I think, oh, just

392
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:41.880
<v Speaker 2>humans do weird things, and there's there's yet another weird

393
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:43.519
<v Speaker 2>human noise coming from that same camp.

394
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.799
<v Speaker 5>Well, they know they know we make knocking sounds, that

395
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:50.039
<v Speaker 5>everyone's split in wood and stuff like that. And I

396
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:51.400
<v Speaker 5>think when they hear it in the same place and

397
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 5>bumping is don't exact like salt fork still get stuff

398
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 5>going on. But I think, yeah, I just think they're

399
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 5>smarter to know, like, well, I don't think they would

400
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:01.799
<v Speaker 5>someone's it was trying to attract them. But I think

401
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.359
<v Speaker 5>if it's like you know, for instance, soal Fark can

402
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.559
<v Speaker 5>probably where people go there and do calls, all the time,

403
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:09.680
<v Speaker 5>and they still come around and they'll answer sometimes that's

404
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:11.920
<v Speaker 5>like that's more rare than it is normal.

405
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think the correct way to do those things

406
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.599
<v Speaker 2>is a step away from camp a few hundred yards.

407
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:20.359
<v Speaker 5>Oh totally, Well, the best way to get even I

408
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:21.640
<v Speaker 5>think the best way to do is hike in a

409
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:23.440
<v Speaker 5>couple of miles and then do it. Hike it before

410
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:24.920
<v Speaker 5>we gonna start where I get start, and then do

411
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.960
<v Speaker 5>it in the middle of like get off trail and

412
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.160
<v Speaker 5>do it there like yeah, way better chance of it response.

413
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, exactly. So it goes back to the observer

414
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.519
<v Speaker 2>effect again, is that general, generally speaking, they're going to

415
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 2>change their behavior based on your presence and whether you're

416
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:43.559
<v Speaker 2>observing them or not. I guess you're trying to, and

417
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that's an element of the observer effect that

418
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 2>probably needs to be addressed. Trying to observe them, for

419
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 2>them would be the same thing as being observed.

420
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:53.440
<v Speaker 5>You know.

421
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, if you know someone's looking for you

422
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.039
<v Speaker 2>and you haven't been found yet, that changes your behavior too.

423
00:20:59.319 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 3>If you think about it.

424
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.839
<v Speaker 4>But like generating sounds in order to get responses, you know,

425
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:06.559
<v Speaker 4>what we're trying to do is just confirm the presence

426
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.279
<v Speaker 4>of sasquatches, but in a way you could make an

427
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.839
<v Speaker 4>analogy between that and any other sort of measurement. That's

428
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 4>one of the things about the Heisenberger uncertainty principle that

429
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.400
<v Speaker 4>people get into the minutiaw about is that it's not

430
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 4>even necessarily in some cases that the active observation changes

431
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.480
<v Speaker 4>the phenomenon. It's that the act of measurement changes the phenomenon,

432
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 4>And so good analogies would be if you use a

433
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:32.319
<v Speaker 4>tire pressure gauge. You know that has a certain set

434
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.000
<v Speaker 4>of parameters and psi, et cetera. But in order to

435
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:37.559
<v Speaker 4>measure the pressure of a tire, you have to let

436
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.319
<v Speaker 4>out a little bit of air. So if you had

437
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:43.480
<v Speaker 4>a sensitive enough pressure gauge that could get into like

438
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:47.240
<v Speaker 4>the most minute decimal points, you would find that the

439
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.920
<v Speaker 4>pressure of the tire is actually different before you begin

440
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 4>to measure it. Or if you had, you know, a

441
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:55.680
<v Speaker 4>tub or a bucket full of water and you insert

442
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.680
<v Speaker 4>a tape measure or a ruler into it to measure

443
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:01.000
<v Speaker 4>the depth of it, you're actually raising the level of

444
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.119
<v Speaker 4>that water by displacing it with the tool. Now, those

445
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:08.319
<v Speaker 4>measurements we consider them to be sort of inconsequential because

446
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:10.960
<v Speaker 4>we're looking at sort of a macro like centimeters inches,

447
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.000
<v Speaker 4>whatever the case may be, or again psi pounds per

448
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:17.680
<v Speaker 4>square inch. But actually we are changing the phenomenon by

449
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.440
<v Speaker 4>the act of measuring it. And if we're measuring sasquatch

450
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:25.799
<v Speaker 4>activity by generating sounds or by baiting with food or

451
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:28.599
<v Speaker 4>in any way, we're changing the phenomenon in that way too,

452
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:31.279
<v Speaker 4>Because who's to say that what it is that we're

453
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:35.440
<v Speaker 4>hearing or observing is not natural behavior but is a

454
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:38.960
<v Speaker 4>stress response. You know, a naturally occurring animal that was

455
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 4>in a baseline state is now displaying a stress response

456
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:47.400
<v Speaker 4>or an avoidance behavior, or an aggressive response to intimidate,

457
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 4>and so so many of the things that we observe

458
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.079
<v Speaker 4>that we think are normative behaviors might actually be more

459
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.920
<v Speaker 4>like stress responses, etc. So we're measuring the phenomenon and

460
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:59.400
<v Speaker 4>undoubtedly having an effect on it each and every time.

461
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think whenever there's a human in the vicinity

462
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 2>of a sasquatch, that probably heightens the sasquatch's stress levels.

463
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>And there are reports that you can see evidence of

464
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 2>that in whether it's reports of sasquatches smiling at the

465
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:16.519
<v Speaker 2>observer because you know, smiling for an ape is a

466
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:19.759
<v Speaker 2>is a negative thing. It is a stress reaction. They're

467
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:22.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of showing you their knives, so to speak, their teeth,

468
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:25.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, in humans it doesn't mean that, But we

469
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:29.400
<v Speaker 2>can't interpret other animals based on human nonverbal communication. We

470
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.200
<v Speaker 2>have to kind of look outside of that. When you

471
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:33.200
<v Speaker 2>look at all the other ape species, when they're smiling

472
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.680
<v Speaker 2>at you, like generally speaking, that's not a good thing.

473
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:37.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're bearing their teeth or any other animal

474
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.039
<v Speaker 2>for that matter. Also, I think, like we talked about

475
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.920
<v Speaker 2>this recently, I think on another recent broadcast that the

476
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:47.880
<v Speaker 2>smell might be associated with a stress reaction in sasquatches

477
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.759
<v Speaker 2>as well. Out in the field, I've seen broken trees

478
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:55.480
<v Speaker 2>quite often, very odd oddly broken trees, and I think

479
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:58.640
<v Speaker 2>that these are probably stress reactions as well, because so

480
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:02.279
<v Speaker 2>far they've mostly been located on roads or trails where

481
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 2>humans are, so that the presence of humans in that

482
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:08.400
<v Speaker 2>sort of way does elicit I think that the evidence

483
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:10.519
<v Speaker 2>is there that it does probably elicit a lot of

484
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:13.559
<v Speaker 2>stress and sasquatches which completely changes their behavior.

485
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:15.559
<v Speaker 4>And how much of what we were recording, you know,

486
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.359
<v Speaker 4>because the observer effect falls back on the observer, because

487
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.039
<v Speaker 4>there's observer bias, and so you know, if you have

488
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:24.640
<v Speaker 4>pre existing biases, which we all do, there's no one

489
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:28.039
<v Speaker 4>that's immune to that. You know, if we're going through

490
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:32.640
<v Speaker 4>the research notes or the claimant eyewitness testimony, you know,

491
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:35.440
<v Speaker 4>how much of what's being quote unquote observed is actually

492
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:40.119
<v Speaker 4>like selectively edited in the moment, maybe even involuntarily to

493
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.519
<v Speaker 4>fit some presupposition. And so even the data that we're seeing,

494
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:48.119
<v Speaker 4>as long as it's testimony or anecdotal, is still going

495
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:50.200
<v Speaker 4>to be biased by the observer. And so there's an

496
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:54.960
<v Speaker 4>observer effect there, or even the differences between a range

497
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.279
<v Speaker 4>of observers. You know, what's relevant to what person to

498
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:59.839
<v Speaker 4>one person might not be relevant to another, and so

499
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.039
<v Speaker 4>things are noteworthy and some aren't. And so I don't

500
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.519
<v Speaker 4>see how this field couldn't be influenced heavily by it.

501
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.559
<v Speaker 4>And that just has to be true of any and

502
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:14.480
<v Speaker 4>all wildlife observational studies, which I think if we're looking

503
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.200
<v Speaker 4>for models, at least as it pertains to capturing visual evidence,

504
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, trying to see one photograph one, get video

505
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.200
<v Speaker 4>of one. Then it's like, well, I really like to

506
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:28.119
<v Speaker 4>read the travelogus and nature writing of hunters and wildlife photographers.

507
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:30.160
<v Speaker 4>Even though I'm not hunting one, I kind of am

508
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.279
<v Speaker 4>with a camera and it's like, well, what methods do

509
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:36.119
<v Speaker 4>these people use to have extended observations of wildlife and

510
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:39.759
<v Speaker 4>to document those observations? And that's a lot more relevant

511
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:42.880
<v Speaker 4>than what are sasquatch researchers doing in a lot of

512
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:43.599
<v Speaker 4>those cases.

513
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, you know a lot of this conversation reminds

514
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 2>me of something that Tom Powell mentions a lot and

515
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:52.759
<v Speaker 2>his presentations, And of course Tom's very paranormal and stuff,

516
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:56.319
<v Speaker 2>but he does have some really good points about the

517
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.079
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch phenomenon in some ways. And one of the things

518
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:02.319
<v Speaker 2>he really hammers is that we should be focusing on

519
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:07.799
<v Speaker 2>gathering intel versus gathering evidence, because evidence is scarce and

520
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:09.839
<v Speaker 2>it's hard, and it's not going to convince very many people.

521
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:11.920
<v Speaker 2>But he thinks that we can actually get a lot further,

522
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:16.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot faster by gathering what is essentially intel, you know,

523
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 2>like from a CIA perspective sort of thing, Whereas if

524
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:21.400
<v Speaker 2>we're going out and we're trying to find you know,

525
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:27.039
<v Speaker 2>observations and behavioral patterns and consistencies within witness testimonies and

526
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:29.319
<v Speaker 2>that sort of thing, like basically anecdotal sort of things

527
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:30.160
<v Speaker 2>is you know.

528
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:32.440
<v Speaker 5>It's all anecdotal because it's all their.

529
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Perception, right right. So that's his point that it doesn't

530
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:39.039
<v Speaker 2>amount to scientific proof or real evidence in any sort

531
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 2>of way. It's more intel, and he thinks that we

532
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 2>can get further that way than gather trying to gather

533
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the evidence. I agree that, but so far, that's what

534
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.400
<v Speaker 2>most of the Bigfoot history of the subject has been

535
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 2>focused on, is intel, and it's gotten us here, and

536
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:56.640
<v Speaker 2>we've kind of stalled out I think here for the

537
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.720
<v Speaker 2>last thirty or fifty years or so. Maybe intel. I

538
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:00.880
<v Speaker 2>mean it's it's a good way to go, and it's

539
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:02.720
<v Speaker 2>a good way for most hobbyists and stuff like that,

540
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:04.880
<v Speaker 2>but really pushing the ball down the field, I think

541
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.039
<v Speaker 2>that you have to go pass that and just focus

542
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.319
<v Speaker 2>on the evidence versus intel, and I think the evidence itself.

543
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:16.039
<v Speaker 2>When you go to a level of evidence, I think

544
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:19.200
<v Speaker 2>that that's when you start leaving the observer effect behind.

545
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:22.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, if I gather a footprint cast, the Sasquatch

546
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:25.599
<v Speaker 2>is likely did not know I gathered that cast unless

547
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:28.559
<v Speaker 2>it was in the area which and I don't know

548
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:31.440
<v Speaker 2>how often they're in the area, essentially, And also you

549
00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:35.160
<v Speaker 2>remove that evidence from the environment and you can you

550
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:37.319
<v Speaker 2>can analyze it and give it to other people who

551
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:39.400
<v Speaker 2>have no idea about the context and see what they

552
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:41.480
<v Speaker 2>think about it, and all that sort of stuff kind

553
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.440
<v Speaker 2>of removes the observer.

554
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:45.079
<v Speaker 4>I think those are great points. I mean, in terms

555
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 4>of gathering intel. To me, that is the path to evidence,

556
00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:52.920
<v Speaker 4>and so I'd have to see exactly what Tom said

557
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:55.519
<v Speaker 4>or what he intends by that. But I don't think

558
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:59.759
<v Speaker 4>that you can abandon evidence to prefer intel, because the path, too,

559
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.559
<v Speaker 4>ever is by following intel. You know, Matt made that point.

560
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:05.680
<v Speaker 4>Matt money Maker made that point in our members only

561
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:08.559
<v Speaker 4>episode with him, is that you know, by gathering testimony

562
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.440
<v Speaker 4>that might lead you to the evidence that then leads

563
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.960
<v Speaker 4>you to conclusive proof.

564
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:14.039
<v Speaker 3>And so there's a.

565
00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:17.279
<v Speaker 4>Sort of a series of steps that have to be taken.

566
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 4>But again, I think if we look at the legacy

567
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 4>of methodology that's successful for hunters and wildlife photographers, everything

568
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 4>they do in the field is to you know, negate

569
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:31.920
<v Speaker 4>the observer effect. They're trying to negate all of those

570
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:38.400
<v Speaker 4>effects by employing stealth and camouflage and scent control and

571
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:40.920
<v Speaker 4>a whole host of factors to make themselves, you know,

572
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 4>undetectable so that the observer effect doesn't happen to the

573
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:47.319
<v Speaker 4>extent that they can at least document observations or in

574
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.640
<v Speaker 4>the case of hunters, collect the animals that they're after.

575
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:52.079
<v Speaker 4>And there's there's a lot to learn from there, and

576
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:55.319
<v Speaker 4>it's not easy. I mean, you know, I spent years

577
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:59.079
<v Speaker 4>basically carrying out like the sort of expedition protocol A

578
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:02.200
<v Speaker 4>because I like sploring and looking for sign and then

579
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.400
<v Speaker 4>B because it's a lot of fun to be out

580
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:06.799
<v Speaker 4>at night in the dark trying to get responses and

581
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:08.759
<v Speaker 4>trying to see things with a thermal image or have

582
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:11.559
<v Speaker 4>experiences like I still do that. I enjoy it. I

583
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:13.799
<v Speaker 4>just don't have the expectation that that's going to get

584
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:17.480
<v Speaker 4>me great visual evidence. To get great visual evidence, you

585
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:20.079
<v Speaker 4>kind of have to behave like a hunter or wildlie photographer,

586
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:23.839
<v Speaker 4>and it can be really tedious and very boring and

587
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:26.440
<v Speaker 4>make for a lot of long days where nothing happens.

588
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.960
<v Speaker 4>And I still know in my mind that it's the

589
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:32.200
<v Speaker 4>right thing to do, but of course my heart wants

590
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:35.240
<v Speaker 4>the adventure, you know, But all of that really is

591
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 4>predicated on negating the observer effect.

592
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.519
<v Speaker 1>At the end of the day, stay tuned for more

593
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo will be right

594
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 1>back after these messages.

595
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.920
<v Speaker 2>So what's the best way for the standard Joe, you know,

596
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:58.880
<v Speaker 2>like our listeners us, what do you think the best

597
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:02.480
<v Speaker 2>way to deal with with eliminating the observer effect to

598
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.000
<v Speaker 2>observe sasquatches in their natural environment without changing their behaviors.

599
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.720
<v Speaker 4>I think using those methods like trying to be visually undetectable,

600
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:14.480
<v Speaker 4>whether that's you know, wearing camouflage at the very least

601
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 4>earth tones so that you're not wearing something you know,

602
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:20.359
<v Speaker 4>bright red or bright blue or something that completely stands

603
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:23.839
<v Speaker 4>out that makes you easily visually detectable. Because apes, you know,

604
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 4>primemates are visual animals, and apes we have the best vision,

605
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.559
<v Speaker 4>or at least as far as mammalia is concerned. So

606
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.400
<v Speaker 4>trying to be visually undetectable, trying to move as little

607
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.920
<v Speaker 4>as possible because motion is very easy to detect, so

608
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:39.079
<v Speaker 4>you know, being stationary in a place where you have

609
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:41.920
<v Speaker 4>good lanes of observation, trying to be still, trying to

610
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.839
<v Speaker 4>be quiet because you know, as a secondary sense. Our

611
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.799
<v Speaker 4>hearing is pretty good, and as is the hearing of

612
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:52.279
<v Speaker 4>other apes. Typically, the ape behavioral response to a novel

613
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:54.920
<v Speaker 4>sound is to immediately try to investigate it visually, so

614
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 4>they are always listening. I know we've talked about this

615
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:00.240
<v Speaker 4>quite a bit, but it's just not as sexy to say, like,

616
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:04.160
<v Speaker 4>we'll get out there, hide, be still, be quiet and

617
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:07.119
<v Speaker 4>keep your eyes and ears open, because it's not as

618
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.039
<v Speaker 4>fun as exploring and moving and trying to make contact

619
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:12.200
<v Speaker 4>and have interactions.

620
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:13.799
<v Speaker 3>And I still try to do those things.

621
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:17.079
<v Speaker 4>So I'm not detegrating that approach, but I'm just saying, like,

622
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:20.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't expect that that will lead me to observing

623
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:24.000
<v Speaker 4>a sasquatch in its natural environment, exhibiting its natural behavior

624
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:28.880
<v Speaker 4>as much as those wildlife photography or hunting methods, and

625
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:31.279
<v Speaker 4>just having done field research as long as I have

626
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:33.680
<v Speaker 4>around the country, almost known is doing that. I didn't

627
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:35.799
<v Speaker 4>even start doing it until I started to spend a

628
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 4>lot of time with Darryl Collier and a couple of

629
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.240
<v Speaker 4>other NAWAC members who were doing that and who had

630
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:43.640
<v Speaker 4>had observations using that method, And so I try to

631
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:46.920
<v Speaker 4>be more committed to it now, despite how boring it

632
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:47.440
<v Speaker 4>can be.

633
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not really my take on. I mean, you're

634
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.480
<v Speaker 2>absolutely correct. If you want to observe a sasquatch and

635
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:55.079
<v Speaker 2>for thirty seconds or a minute or something, or having

636
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>like an extended observation of a sasquatch, that's probably and

637
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:00.839
<v Speaker 2>without it knowing. That's got to beretty much one of

638
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>the only ways to do it except for blindly stumbling

639
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:06.799
<v Speaker 2>upon one that doesn't happen to notice you, or.

640
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:08.839
<v Speaker 5>Put out cameras at a pretty like a spot that's

641
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.440
<v Speaker 5>a hot spot and like have like you know, military

642
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:14.119
<v Speaker 5>grade or even like you know, not even not high,

643
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:16.920
<v Speaker 5>but better than what we have. Like the guys from

644
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:19.400
<v Speaker 5>a study sasquatch bar and those guys, what they're doing

645
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:22.920
<v Speaker 5>with those long distance therms. I think that's gonna be

646
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:24.799
<v Speaker 5>way more productive than anything else.

647
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Maybe have you got multiple If you got multiples, have you.

648
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:30.519
<v Speaker 5>Got if you got you know, a couple of dozen

649
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:30.920
<v Speaker 5>of them?

650
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I guess it depends on what they get.

651
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I just I just don't have a lot of faith

652
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:40.079
<v Speaker 2>in that a thermal imaging video will show us much.

653
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:43.119
<v Speaker 5>Oh, like one of those one of those new high

654
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:46.200
<v Speaker 5>tech like it's a digital thermal and filmed, all laid

655
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:49.079
<v Speaker 5>over each other, all three you've seen you see those, right, No.

656
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't pay attention to I'm not really a tech

657
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:53.000
<v Speaker 2>guy like that, you know, because I don't think it's

658
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:55.200
<v Speaker 2>going to do it. But so I don't know. I mean,

659
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:56.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I don't pay attention to that stuff.

660
00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:58.559
<v Speaker 5>You know, these will do as long as you trust

661
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:01.200
<v Speaker 5>a source and don't think can say it's trustworthy source,

662
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 5>these things will definitely be able to show it no problem. Yeah.

663
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, now, Bobo, we've talked before about how we suspect

664
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:11.799
<v Speaker 2>sasquatches might be able to detect electronics in some sort

665
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:13.759
<v Speaker 2>of way, whether it's a sound or an EMF thing

666
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 2>or whatever else, and we don't really know. Don't you

667
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:17.720
<v Speaker 2>think that will come into play here?

668
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:20.839
<v Speaker 5>Well, their units are all self contained in like these

669
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.000
<v Speaker 5>ammal cases that are the MF that are totally the

670
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.160
<v Speaker 5>MF proof. They put a shield up around the whole

671
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:28.920
<v Speaker 5>thing barrier, so it's all self contained, so there's no

672
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.920
<v Speaker 5>EMF detective detect They're setting them up at several hundred

673
00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:35.440
<v Speaker 5>yards away too, well.

674
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:36.640
<v Speaker 2>From where they hope it's going to walk. But you

675
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>can't really control where a sass which is going to walk.

676
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:41.319
<v Speaker 5>No, no, but if you've got enough of those things out,

677
00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:44.039
<v Speaker 5>you're going to cover pretty much all your avenues. You know,

678
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:46.680
<v Speaker 5>if you got enough resources to cover all your avenues,

679
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:49.880
<v Speaker 5>then the matter of them actually walking in. But yeah,

680
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:51.319
<v Speaker 5>you never know what You never know what they're going

681
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:52.119
<v Speaker 5>to do for sure.

682
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I guess we'll see, you know, we'll see

683
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:58.079
<v Speaker 2>if they get anything. You know, I know it's been

684
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:00.400
<v Speaker 2>going on for about a year now, right, Yeah.

685
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:02.160
<v Speaker 5>Well they got held up because of the Terra stuff

686
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:03.880
<v Speaker 5>and all that stuff come out of China and this

687
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:05.680
<v Speaker 5>and that. Like, I know, they got held up because

688
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:05.880
<v Speaker 5>of that.

689
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:08.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's not it has many year because the terrorist

690
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:09.960
<v Speaker 2>have not eve been affecting a few months here, so

691
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:11.119
<v Speaker 2>it's been a lot less.

692
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:12.840
<v Speaker 5>They have they have five they are going to build

693
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:14.960
<v Speaker 5>ten more, but they don't they don't have all the parts. Shit.

694
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, well hopefully they get something.

695
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:20.519
<v Speaker 4>So if the goal is how do you get thermal

696
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:25.400
<v Speaker 4>imaging video of a Sasquatch, I think they're absolutely correctly

697
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:26.719
<v Speaker 4>pursuing that goal.

698
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:27.280
<v Speaker 5>You know.

699
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.440
<v Speaker 4>If the goal was like, well how do you find tracks,

700
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:31.760
<v Speaker 4>then it's like, well, don't worry about what clothes you're wearing.

701
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 3>You can wear bright blue or bright red or whatever.

702
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.039
<v Speaker 4>Because none of that has to do with you know,

703
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:39.679
<v Speaker 4>trying to spook or not spook the animals. You need

704
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.239
<v Speaker 4>to have your eyes and focus on the ground and

705
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:45.519
<v Speaker 4>documentation materials with you, whether that's camera and tape, measure

706
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.079
<v Speaker 4>and casting materials, et cetera.

707
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:48.880
<v Speaker 3>So it's all goal dependent.

708
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.199
<v Speaker 5>I got. I'm just saying, yeah, I mean you need

709
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:55.480
<v Speaker 5>like a sniper, like a military, like a green Bridish sniper.

710
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:58.039
<v Speaker 5>It's like super came out, like you got set block on,

711
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:00.840
<v Speaker 5>so like guard dogs not smell you or you know,

712
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 5>I mean, like you got to go all the way

713
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:05.119
<v Speaker 5>to be real discipline and how you littlely you move

714
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:07.960
<v Speaker 5>all that kind of stuff. Like you know, those guys

715
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:10.679
<v Speaker 5>have like those you know, pea bottles so they don't

716
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:12.039
<v Speaker 5>have to get up from their position. They can just

717
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:14.440
<v Speaker 5>go to the bathroom right there, like like that stuff.

718
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:16.840
<v Speaker 5>I thinks it's gonna take to get some squash fage,

719
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.199
<v Speaker 5>like if you want to get consistent footage or more

720
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:21.639
<v Speaker 5>than once, if you need kind of that kind of approach.

721
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:24.559
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think if the goal was like to personally

722
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:26.960
<v Speaker 4>capture footage, you know, if the goal was just footage

723
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 4>in general, then yeah, with enough money, you just put

724
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.639
<v Speaker 4>up the right kind of surveillance or game cameras or

725
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:34.920
<v Speaker 4>whatever the case may be, in high enough abundance or

726
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.199
<v Speaker 4>cameras on a house like the Ericson project, and then

727
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.000
<v Speaker 4>you don't even need a human who could sit out

728
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.960
<v Speaker 4>in the field for hours or days at a time.

729
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:44.880
<v Speaker 4>So it's really that's what I mean by goal specific.

730
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:47.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh for someone, Oh yeah, you're right, you're right. Yeah. Yeah,

731
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:50.360
<v Speaker 5>so yeah, just be do what you can on your

732
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:53.719
<v Speaker 5>budget and time, and yeah, be being like yeah nature

733
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:56.559
<v Speaker 5>for a hundred Just take the precautions and be out

734
00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:57.920
<v Speaker 5>and be out there as much as you can in

735
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:01.559
<v Speaker 5>a good spot quiet, be quiet and unobtrusive and.

736
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:04.880
<v Speaker 4>Is Yeah, if your goal is to observe one in

737
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.079
<v Speaker 4>its natural habitat without it knowing.

738
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:09.159
<v Speaker 2>I have to jump in here. I think that the

739
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.000
<v Speaker 2>conversation here is confused footage with observations.

740
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 5>Are you're right?

741
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Footage is not the only way to observe a sasquatch. Yeah,

742
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:19.159
<v Speaker 2>I think that's an important thing here, Like footage is

743
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.320
<v Speaker 2>a different game. That's a different game that they're playing.

744
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:24.480
<v Speaker 2>If you're trying to get footage, and of course the

745
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:27.800
<v Speaker 2>footage will help us visually observe a sasquatch for however

746
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.679
<v Speaker 2>long it's in the viewfinder. You know, I understand that.

747
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 2>But there's other ways to observe the sasquatch. You can

748
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:37.400
<v Speaker 2>observe their presence by listening and hearing for knox or vocalizations.

749
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I routinely observe their recent presence by looking at footprints

750
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.599
<v Speaker 2>and finding foraging sign and other spore that they leave behind.

751
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Observing a sasquatch is much different than filming one, is

752
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:52.239
<v Speaker 2>my point here, So I think that we shouldn't confuse

753
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the two. I mean, everybody wants to see a sasquatch,

754
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:56.840
<v Speaker 2>and the cool thing about footage is that you can

755
00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:59.400
<v Speaker 2>share your observation of it. That's why everybody loves a

756
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:02.159
<v Speaker 2>PG film because that might be the only sasquatch most

757
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:04.559
<v Speaker 2>of us ever get to see in broad daylight. Right.

758
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.880
<v Speaker 2>But Roger and Bob are the ones who observed it,

759
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:11.039
<v Speaker 2>and they're just sharing their observation with us by sharing

760
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:14.039
<v Speaker 2>the film. But there's other ways to observe a sasquatch,

761
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.119
<v Speaker 2>And I think when and I would, I would argue

762
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.199
<v Speaker 2>that the tracking method which I regularly employ has yielded

763
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:26.679
<v Speaker 2>more results than any of the other observation methods, except

764
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:31.519
<v Speaker 2>with the possible exception of vocalizations. But we don't know

765
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:33.559
<v Speaker 2>really what's making some of these vocalizations.

766
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:36.199
<v Speaker 4>Certainly, Yeah, I mean, I guess I would restrict if

767
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.960
<v Speaker 4>we're splitting hairs like visual observation is the way I

768
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:43.159
<v Speaker 4>interpreted the question about observing a sasquatch and its natural

769
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.360
<v Speaker 4>habitat without annoying it's being observed.

770
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, see, I didn't. I didn't even think. I mean,

771
00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:50.639
<v Speaker 2>that would be cool, that'd be the cherry on the cake.

772
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.679
<v Speaker 2>But to me, I wasn't even thinking along that because

773
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I have observed evidence of sasquatch behavior before, like move

774
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:03.599
<v Speaker 2>logs aside and foraging and breaking apart tree stumps and

775
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:06.440
<v Speaker 2>breaking trees and all that sort of stuff. I've observed

776
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:11.599
<v Speaker 2>plenty of indirectly observed plenty of sasquatch behavior just by

777
00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:13.360
<v Speaker 2>doing what I do, going out once or twice a

778
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:15.599
<v Speaker 2>week to the areas and spooping around and see trying

779
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:16.280
<v Speaker 2>to find stuff.

780
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:19.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, that's where I would say, again, if

781
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:22.599
<v Speaker 4>the goal was to observe the living animal versus to

782
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:26.199
<v Speaker 4>observe the consequences of the animal's interaction with the environment.

783
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:30.199
<v Speaker 4>Those are two different things that have two very different methodologies.

784
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:31.639
<v Speaker 3>So my answer was.

785
00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:35.320
<v Speaker 4>Specifically about like visually observing the animal and its environment

786
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:39.719
<v Speaker 4>versus the consequences of its interaction with the environment in

787
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:42.519
<v Speaker 4>the aftermath of its having passed through, etc.

788
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I would argue that even on finding big Foot, going

789
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:48.119
<v Speaker 2>out and getting the vocalizations, which is a pretty low

790
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:50.199
<v Speaker 2>hanging fruit, it's a much easier thing to do than

791
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:52.679
<v Speaker 2>actually putting your eyes on a sasquatch that's also an

792
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:55.320
<v Speaker 2>observation of a sasquatch, But also we had changed their

793
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker 2>behaviors as well, you know, the observe effect was in

794
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:00.920
<v Speaker 2>full bloom and finding Bigfoot of course, and all these episodes.

795
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:02.119
<v Speaker 3>Oh certainly.

796
00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:06.400
<v Speaker 4>I just think, to my broader point, like, if most

797
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:09.800
<v Speaker 4>people are trying to see one in the environment, learning

798
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:13.079
<v Speaker 4>from people who do so successfully with other wildlife and

799
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:16.760
<v Speaker 4>seeing that almost everything they do is predicated on negating

800
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:19.880
<v Speaker 4>or at least accounting for, the observe effect is worth

801
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:21.480
<v Speaker 4>trying to replicate.

802
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:22.599
<v Speaker 3>In your own experiments.

803
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:24.800
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's where most people go wrong, and

804
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:27.039
<v Speaker 4>myself included, I've done it many times where I've just

805
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:31.159
<v Speaker 4>made the mistakes and have gotten home and nothing happened.

806
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.199
<v Speaker 4>And then, if I'm being honest, I have to go, well,

807
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:34.920
<v Speaker 4>did I really do my best.

808
00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:35.679
<v Speaker 3>To be undetectable?

809
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:38.679
<v Speaker 4>Now I probably could have done better, And so is

810
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:42.920
<v Speaker 4>the silence and the absence of evidence that I experienced

811
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:45.599
<v Speaker 4>proof that there was nothing there? Or could that have

812
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:49.239
<v Speaker 4>been because I actually influenced the environment because I was

813
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:51.559
<v Speaker 4>too noisy coming in, or I slammed my car doors

814
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:53.559
<v Speaker 4>too loud, or you know, I got up and moved

815
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:55.719
<v Speaker 4>around too much when I should have stayed station. I'll

816
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:58.639
<v Speaker 4>never know, but I think to be responsible about it,

817
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.320
<v Speaker 4>I have to go, well, I didn't quite properly conduct

818
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:04.119
<v Speaker 4>the experiment the way it should have been to have

819
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:06.599
<v Speaker 4>any certainty that there was never anything there, you know

820
00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:07.000
<v Speaker 4>what I mean?

821
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah.

822
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:11.440
<v Speaker 4>And the hard thing about this field, I think for anyone,

823
00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:14.199
<v Speaker 4>is like, we don't know how to interpret negative data

824
00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:17.000
<v Speaker 4>because I hear a lot of people say things to

825
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:19.360
<v Speaker 4>the effect of like they know we're here and they're

826
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:23.159
<v Speaker 4>choosing not to respond. That's their interpretation of like getting

827
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:25.880
<v Speaker 4>no responses. Versus my I'd be like, well, there's not

828
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:29.000
<v Speaker 4>any around, you know, and who knows whether either of.

829
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Us are right or wrong?

830
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:34.920
<v Speaker 4>Because it's unverifiable and unfalsifiable. Right, So most of the time,

831
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.119
<v Speaker 4>what you're left with is negative data, is the absence

832
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 4>of responses or the absence of sign and people can

833
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:44.519
<v Speaker 4>choose to interpret that in whatever way best fits.

834
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.719
<v Speaker 3>Their narrative or their again, their biases.

835
00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:48.320
<v Speaker 4>And so I think you have a lot of people

836
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:52.760
<v Speaker 4>that say, oh, well, we conducted an experiment quote unquote,

837
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:56.320
<v Speaker 4>we knocked this many times and nothing happened. And so

838
00:40:56.800 --> 00:40:59.440
<v Speaker 4>it's definitely the case that that was too many times.

839
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.199
<v Speaker 4>Maybe if we had knocked fewer times, they would have

840
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:03.199
<v Speaker 4>chosen to respond.

841
00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Where it's like, well, you're.

842
00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:06.559
<v Speaker 4>Assuming that there was even one in earshot to hear

843
00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:07.880
<v Speaker 4>your knocks in the first place.

844
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:08.679
<v Speaker 3>We don't know that.

845
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:11.840
<v Speaker 4>People are still trying to like decode you know, what

846
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:14.280
<v Speaker 4>all these things mean, or they're they're always looking for

847
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:17.199
<v Speaker 4>the panaceo, you know, the magic bullet, Like what is

848
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:19.760
<v Speaker 4>it that is irresistible to them that they will respond

849
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:23.400
<v Speaker 4>to every time predicated on the assumption that they're there

850
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:27.079
<v Speaker 4>in the first place hearing the stimuli and electing not

851
00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:27.760
<v Speaker 4>to respond.

852
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:30.320
<v Speaker 5>You know, that drives me crazy. You know people that

853
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.000
<v Speaker 5>are like, oh, there's it's like to you don't know

854
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:33.480
<v Speaker 5>one heard it. You don't. You don't know if it

855
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:35.400
<v Speaker 5>heard it and ignored it or didn't hear it. Yeah,

856
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.719
<v Speaker 5>we don't know. But people say that all the time.

857
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:40.239
<v Speaker 5>But there's times like when I was out my buddy

858
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:43.599
<v Speaker 5>from Pennsylvania that you guys know, we left all those

859
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:46.280
<v Speaker 5>recorders out one and up in the Redwoods. We didn't

860
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:48.000
<v Speaker 5>know they were there. We played the record in the

861
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.119
<v Speaker 5>next city, or knocking doing real loud knocks in the

862
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:53.239
<v Speaker 5>last loud knocking right next to the recorder. So it's

863
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:54.880
<v Speaker 5>like they're there. They knew we were there, they just

864
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:56.920
<v Speaker 5>waited till we left. But we didn't. We wouldn't know

865
00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:59.960
<v Speaker 5>that unless we had an auto recorder running when we left.

866
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:04.199
<v Speaker 2>Does the insertion of electronic recording devices like long duration

867
00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:08.119
<v Speaker 2>recorders or game cameras or these long distance therms and

868
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:10.800
<v Speaker 2>whatever that bar those guys are doing, How does that

869
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.000
<v Speaker 2>affect their behavior? You think?

870
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.079
<v Speaker 5>Well, everyone, everyone seems to say that audio doesn't seem

871
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:18.599
<v Speaker 5>to bother them. The auto recorders. It's the cameras. For

872
00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:20.480
<v Speaker 5>whatever reason, Because I know a lot of people, like

873
00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:23.039
<v Speaker 5>I've heard firsonal ones at least set out where sometimes

874
00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:25.840
<v Speaker 5>up in funnels around the krons then puts it back

875
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.280
<v Speaker 5>down and you hear it a walk away. I mean,

876
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.199
<v Speaker 5>so you don't hear like I think they mess with

877
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:33.840
<v Speaker 5>game cameras sometimes, but they usually don't mess with cameras

878
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:35.599
<v Speaker 5>too much like they do the auto recorder.

879
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:38.119
<v Speaker 2>It seems like, yeah, or they're just not close enough

880
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:40.000
<v Speaker 2>to the audio recorder you didn't even know it's there.

881
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:42.079
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm talking abou when they pick it up

882
00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:43.400
<v Speaker 5>and sniff it and stuff.

883
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Like that, right, right, But you know, if an LDR

884
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:47.760
<v Speaker 2>is just sitting hanging on a branch somewhere and it's

885
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:49.880
<v Speaker 2>it's a quarter mile away the Sasquatch, it's not going

886
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:51.159
<v Speaker 2>to know it's there. There's no way.

887
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:55.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I like it has any effect having auto recorders out.

888
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:58.800
<v Speaker 2>But but cameras, you think that they're they're they're pretty

889
00:42:58.800 --> 00:42:59.440
<v Speaker 2>wise too.

890
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:01.400
<v Speaker 5>I think so, I think, yeah, I think the I

891
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:03.400
<v Speaker 5>think the other older ones I think definitely are.

892
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think it's definitely possible for sure. But at

893
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:09.800
<v Speaker 2>the same time, you know, maybe they don't care sometimes too.

894
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:10.920
<v Speaker 5>Right.

895
00:43:11.559 --> 00:43:14.679
<v Speaker 2>What about how does this how does this whole topic

896
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:20.679
<v Speaker 2>of conversation lead into the idea the hypothesis. I know

897
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:22.679
<v Speaker 2>that Peter Burn put this idea out on a television

898
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:26.440
<v Speaker 2>show many many years ago, that sasquatches are aware of

899
00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:28.880
<v Speaker 2>their own footprints and choose not to leave them in

900
00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.320
<v Speaker 2>certain areas, or choose to leave them in certain areas.

901
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, doctor Grover Grantz kind of picked up that

902
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:35.400
<v Speaker 2>ball and curated it for a bit in his excellent

903
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:39.199
<v Speaker 2>book about the idea of that. So how does that

904
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:41.559
<v Speaker 2>affect what we're talking about here?

905
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:43.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think there are constous of their footprints in

906
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.719
<v Speaker 5>certain substrates for sure. If it's not it's hard packed dirt,

907
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:49.119
<v Speaker 5>I think they sometimes you either walk across me the

908
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:52.320
<v Speaker 5>log log landing or landing or something that's super you know,

909
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:55.480
<v Speaker 5>had das and D five roll around, pack it in

910
00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:58.280
<v Speaker 5>super tight and the summ you're not gonna leave any evidence,

911
00:43:58.320 --> 00:44:01.000
<v Speaker 5>and the winner's muddy, they're not going to walking within

912
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:01.400
<v Speaker 5>the summer.

913
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:05.679
<v Speaker 4>I think if they have anything like the cognition of

914
00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:08.920
<v Speaker 4>other apes. If not, you know, something closer to our

915
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:11.440
<v Speaker 4>level of cognition, because we know that other apes are

916
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:13.800
<v Speaker 4>aware of their own footprints, and you know, doctor Melton

917
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:17.880
<v Speaker 4>detailed some experiments that demonstrated that quite nicely with chimpanzees.

918
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:21.440
<v Speaker 4>And so if they are ambush predators. As part of

919
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.440
<v Speaker 4>their omnivorous lifestyle, they are probably hip to the tracks

920
00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:27.679
<v Speaker 4>of prey animals, you know, if they're foraging and moving

921
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.079
<v Speaker 4>around and then they see, you know, fresh tracks of

922
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:33.400
<v Speaker 4>their prey animals. I don't think that's unreasonable, because other

923
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:37.840
<v Speaker 4>predators recognize the sign of their prey. And how would

924
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.400
<v Speaker 4>that not extend to being aware of one's own tracks

925
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:44.039
<v Speaker 4>or presence and the desire or ability to try to

926
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:47.440
<v Speaker 4>avoid leaving those because your lifestyle is dependent on avoiding

927
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:50.960
<v Speaker 4>detection at all costs. I don't think that's outrageous at all.

928
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Agreed, No. Doctor Krantz actually notes in his book that

929
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:57.639
<v Speaker 2>if wolves can identify one another by their scent, it

930
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:00.360
<v Speaker 2>doesn't take any more brain power for assas squash to

931
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:03.320
<v Speaker 2>identify another individual by the shape of its foot. And

932
00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:06.719
<v Speaker 2>I think that's very a reasonable way for them to

933
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:10.360
<v Speaker 2>navigate the environment and figure out where their ilk have been,

934
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:13.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, like where the other sasquatches. I don't know,

935
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:15.320
<v Speaker 2>but I saw tracks yesterday over in this spot. They're

936
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:17.559
<v Speaker 2>probably over in that zone there, because I'm also a

937
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:19.679
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch and I know there's food on that ridge, and

938
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I know where to find it because I've been there before,

939
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:25.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think that would be very reasonable expectation,

940
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:28.760
<v Speaker 2>and it also might I've kind of hypothesized this a bit.

941
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if I think it sounds like I've

942
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:32.840
<v Speaker 2>just spoken about this on the podcast recently, but maybe

943
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:36.320
<v Speaker 2>I haven't. I've often wondered if by when we get

944
00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:39.280
<v Speaker 2>to actually study sasquatches for real, like they're real animals.

945
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows that there's teams of biologists out there doing it,

946
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:45.920
<v Speaker 2>are we going to discover that We're going to learn

947
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:50.079
<v Speaker 2>a lot more about the roots of our natural behavior

948
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:54.079
<v Speaker 2>of tracking, because that's a behavior of Homo sapiens. We track,

949
00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:57.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's just something that we do. Just like

950
00:45:57.719 --> 00:46:02.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, squirrels climb trees, Homo sapiens track. I bet

951
00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:04.000
<v Speaker 2>you we're going to find out a lot about the

952
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:07.679
<v Speaker 2>root of that behavior when sasquatches can be studied appropriately.

953
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo.

954
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Will be right back after these messages. I know for

955
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:24.599
<v Speaker 2>my own field work, I will say this, though I

956
00:46:24.679 --> 00:46:28.280
<v Speaker 2>have found tracks in the mud on a number of occasions,

957
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and I don't have the exact number. I'm going to

958
00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:33.039
<v Speaker 2>make this up, I'm going to say eighty percent of

959
00:46:33.039 --> 00:46:36.199
<v Speaker 2>the time, seventy percent of the time, it's always the juvenile.

960
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:39.000
<v Speaker 2>It's always the juvenile of the family group. It's you know,

961
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:41.519
<v Speaker 2>in one area it's a twelve inch eleven or twelve inch,

962
00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:43.280
<v Speaker 2>or the other one it's about an eight to ten incher.

963
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:48.079
<v Speaker 2>And in every case, well almost every case, the footprints

964
00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:51.719
<v Speaker 2>in the mud are always of the juvenile, occasionally of

965
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:57.039
<v Speaker 2>the presumed female thirteen fourteen inches long occasionally. And I

966
00:46:57.159 --> 00:47:01.760
<v Speaker 2>have never found the big one, the big one's footprints,

967
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:04.239
<v Speaker 2>whether it's either my two areas of the fifteen inch

968
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:09.639
<v Speaker 2>or the seventeen inch, I've never found those individuals' tracks

969
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:13.880
<v Speaker 2>in the mud always and another sort of substrate. And

970
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:16.239
<v Speaker 2>I've kind of wondered about this, and I know that,

971
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:19.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, when my dog Sochi was alive, dog rest

972
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:22.360
<v Speaker 2>her soul, she would have go out of her way

973
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to avoid walking in mud. She just didn't like the

974
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:26.239
<v Speaker 2>way I felt or something. I don't know. I'm not

975
00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:27.880
<v Speaker 2>sure what it was, because she certainly didn't care about

976
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:29.760
<v Speaker 2>getting inside of the house dirty, so it must have

977
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:31.960
<v Speaker 2>been something about the way she felt on her feet.

978
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:33.920
<v Speaker 2>And I kind of wonder if that's the case, or

979
00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:35.880
<v Speaker 2>if the sasquatches are just aware that they're going to

980
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:37.679
<v Speaker 2>leave a big, old footprint there. It's easy to find

981
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:41.519
<v Speaker 2>it easy to follow. Maybe the big males, I mean,

982
00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:44.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe they're tuned into the tracking thing a little bit more.

983
00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:47.239
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's their job or something, you know, the track

984
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:50.679
<v Speaker 2>down their prey. Who knows. The possibilities are infinite at

985
00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:52.960
<v Speaker 2>this moment because we know so little about these things.

986
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:55.880
<v Speaker 2>But I do find it interesting that only the juveniles,

987
00:47:56.360 --> 00:47:58.679
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, are found in any sort of

988
00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:03.880
<v Speaker 2>muddy substrate. The larger, presumably wiser individuals seem to avoid

989
00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:04.840
<v Speaker 2>that sort of substrate.

990
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:07.480
<v Speaker 4>An interesting thing to think about is that you know

991
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:12.159
<v Speaker 4>ambush predators. And I would again encourage new listeners, if

992
00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:14.639
<v Speaker 4>you haven't heard me, make these recommendations to read at

993
00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:17.480
<v Speaker 4>least these two books, The Tiger, A True Story of

994
00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:21.199
<v Speaker 4>Vengeance and Survival by John Volant and The Great Soul

995
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:25.000
<v Speaker 4>of Siberia by Soyong Park, both of which are excellent

996
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:27.800
<v Speaker 4>books about the Siberian tiger, but they go into great

997
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:31.079
<v Speaker 4>detail about the lifestyle of an ambush predator, and in

998
00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:34.519
<v Speaker 4>a way, it's as if their whole lifestyle is built

999
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:37.880
<v Speaker 4>to account for the observer effect, because they have to

1000
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:41.880
<v Speaker 4>remain undetectable at all times in order to acquire food resources,

1001
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:47.039
<v Speaker 4>and so all of their behaviors, not only certain innate behaviors,

1002
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:50.159
<v Speaker 4>but a great deal of learned behaviors. These really sophisticated

1003
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:53.800
<v Speaker 4>behavioral responses that are developed over long spans of time,

1004
00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:58.400
<v Speaker 4>are all geared towards avoiding being detected by anything in

1005
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:01.280
<v Speaker 4>the environment so that they can cesssfully acquire the food

1006
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:04.159
<v Speaker 4>that they need to survive. And there's a lot of

1007
00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:07.199
<v Speaker 4>intelligence that comes along with especially predators.

1008
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:08.639
<v Speaker 3>That have diverse praise species.

1009
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:12.760
<v Speaker 4>They're not specialists that just hunt only one sort of animal,

1010
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:15.280
<v Speaker 4>and so you know, every animal has a different host

1011
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:17.320
<v Speaker 4>of senses and sort of perceives the world in a

1012
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:20.480
<v Speaker 4>different way. So they live in their own perceptual bubbles

1013
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:24.559
<v Speaker 4>that are made up of different sets and combinations of senses,

1014
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:28.079
<v Speaker 4>and so an ambush predator has to constantly infiltrate those

1015
00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:32.960
<v Speaker 4>perceptual bubbles without being detected successfully all the time. And

1016
00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:36.440
<v Speaker 4>so in a way, their whole lifestyle is about avoiding

1017
00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:37.400
<v Speaker 4>the observer effect.

1018
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:38.360
<v Speaker 3>So if you think about a.

1019
00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:41.440
<v Speaker 4>Big, intelligent animal with a big brain, you know, an

1020
00:49:41.519 --> 00:49:44.199
<v Speaker 4>ape like a sasquatch, whether they're closer to us or

1021
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.480
<v Speaker 4>the other apes. You know, set that aside for now

1022
00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:51.440
<v Speaker 4>that is innately in a learned sense, likely as well

1023
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:56.920
<v Speaker 4>acutely aware of the observer effect at a genetic and

1024
00:49:56.920 --> 00:50:00.280
<v Speaker 4>a behavioral level, like an embodied level. Good li luck

1025
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:03.039
<v Speaker 4>observing an animal that way, you know, an animal that

1026
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:07.400
<v Speaker 4>operates that way like you're trying to ambush the best

1027
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.559
<v Speaker 4>ambush predator. You're trying to observe the thing that is

1028
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:14.719
<v Speaker 4>the most acutely aware of the observer effect. And so

1029
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:17.639
<v Speaker 4>it makes the proposition really, really difficult. And I don't

1030
00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:19.880
<v Speaker 4>think it's outlandish at all, especially if folks, if you

1031
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:22.559
<v Speaker 4>read those two books, you'll see just how hard it

1032
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:26.719
<v Speaker 4>is to predictably and reliably observe this big cat, and

1033
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:29.280
<v Speaker 4>from which you know, you can extrapolate to well, what

1034
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:31.079
<v Speaker 4>would it be like to have an ape with a

1035
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:37.960
<v Speaker 4>similar lifestyle or similar evolutionary pressures, similar behavioral adaptations, et cetera.

1036
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:41.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I figure in that analogy of it's a science

1037
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:44.440
<v Speaker 5>question as its whole life, Like a fighter pilot shutdown

1038
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:47.559
<v Speaker 5>behind enemy lines, like move on a star. You know,

1039
00:50:47.679 --> 00:50:51.559
<v Speaker 5>it starts getting twilight lay down on hide somewhere, you know,

1040
00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:55.000
<v Speaker 5>just be real furtive, like be aware where you stepped

1041
00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:58.239
<v Speaker 5>on any tracks. Those signs the most possible. That's how

1042
00:50:58.280 --> 00:50:59.880
<v Speaker 5>big footlet is twenty four to seven.

1043
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:03.239
<v Speaker 4>And then they have the cultural camouflage too, of the

1044
00:51:03.239 --> 00:51:06.320
<v Speaker 4>fact that most of the population don't believe that they exist,

1045
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:08.719
<v Speaker 4>and so that helps them hide pretty well too. That

1046
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:11.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, most people in those environments if they encountered

1047
00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:14.079
<v Speaker 4>sasquatch sign and they wouldn't even observe it, They wouldn't

1048
00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:15.760
<v Speaker 4>know what they were seeing or looking at. I mean,

1049
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:19.840
<v Speaker 4>cliff to your earlier point about seeing the aftermath of

1050
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:23.840
<v Speaker 4>their interaction with the environment absent clear five toed tracks,

1051
00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:25.960
<v Speaker 4>how many lay people do you think would pick up

1052
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:27.519
<v Speaker 4>on what you're documenting?

1053
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh, zero exactly, yeah or close to zero, yeah, yeah.

1054
00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Because their feet are big, wide, soft padded, they don't

1055
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:39.360
<v Speaker 2>leave a lot of sign. The forest substrate itself is

1056
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:42.960
<v Speaker 2>just not conducive to leaving sign. You really have to

1057
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:44.679
<v Speaker 2>tune your eyes. You have to spend a lot of

1058
00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:46.840
<v Speaker 2>time out there. And I'll say it again, I'm not

1059
00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:49.800
<v Speaker 2>a great tracker man, but you know I am getting

1060
00:51:50.039 --> 00:51:54.000
<v Speaker 2>eight to ten hours or twice that Sometimes a practice

1061
00:51:54.079 --> 00:51:55.920
<v Speaker 2>every single week, and I've been doing that for a

1062
00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:57.920
<v Speaker 2>few years now. I'm not a great tracker, but I

1063
00:51:57.920 --> 00:51:59.639
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of time under my belt at this point,

1064
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:03.159
<v Speaker 2>and if it wasn't for that, i'd be missing almost

1065
00:52:03.239 --> 00:52:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting better too, even still, you know. I mean,

1066
00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I was out tracking with Darby last week. I showed

1067
00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:10.559
<v Speaker 2>them a track way out at the outer Rim, and

1068
00:52:11.039 --> 00:52:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I was noticing that I was picking up on some

1069
00:52:12.920 --> 00:52:14.559
<v Speaker 2>sign that I wouldn't have picked up on a few

1070
00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:16.840
<v Speaker 2>years ago, which is always nice to see one's progress,

1071
00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:19.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, whether it's on the tracking or guitar or

1072
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:21.519
<v Speaker 2>whatever that you're into that you'd like to be better at.

1073
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:24.719
<v Speaker 2>You can actually notice your own improvement, and I've noticed

1074
00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:26.360
<v Speaker 2>that a little bit lately, so it's kind of cool.

1075
00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:29.119
<v Speaker 2>But for the most part, most people would walk right

1076
00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:29.880
<v Speaker 2>past all of this.

1077
00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Stuff, exactly.

1078
00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:33.639
<v Speaker 4>And so especially if you're thinking about an animal that's

1079
00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:37.360
<v Speaker 4>rare with large home ranges, and you know the way

1080
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:39.599
<v Speaker 4>that they seem to be distributed, at least based on

1081
00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:43.039
<v Speaker 4>evidence and testimonies around North America, their numbers must be

1082
00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:46.679
<v Speaker 4>fairly small, so it's like their impact on the environment

1083
00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:51.960
<v Speaker 4>is undetectable nearly you know, virtually undetectable win compared to

1084
00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:56.039
<v Speaker 4>scores of elk, deer, bear, you know, all the other

1085
00:52:56.119 --> 00:52:58.679
<v Speaker 4>animals that are in much greater abundance leaving a lot

1086
00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:01.360
<v Speaker 4>of sign out there. And so most people, even if

1087
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:04.719
<v Speaker 4>they did detect the subtle sign that you're describing, would

1088
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:07.800
<v Speaker 4>likely just attribute it to one of those other animals,

1089
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:09.960
<v Speaker 4>and in many cases, to the lay person, it would

1090
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.079
<v Speaker 4>be indistinguishable from one of those other animals. So to

1091
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:15.559
<v Speaker 4>me that it's not a difficult proposition at all. But

1092
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:18.239
<v Speaker 4>I do think if anyone is going into the field,

1093
00:53:18.280 --> 00:53:20.480
<v Speaker 4>I think most people going into the field are hoping

1094
00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:23.280
<v Speaker 4>that they'll see one. Most of the conversations I have

1095
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:25.960
<v Speaker 4>with people, that's what they're aiming at. That's what I'm

1096
00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:28.920
<v Speaker 4>aiming at, And so you have to account for the

1097
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:31.280
<v Speaker 4>observer effect. I think it's a great point that Angela

1098
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:34.159
<v Speaker 4>brought up and something people should keep in mind. And

1099
00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:36.800
<v Speaker 4>the best way to do that not only read everything

1100
00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:40.320
<v Speaker 4>that we often recommend about the sasquatch phenomenon, but read

1101
00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:44.000
<v Speaker 4>about other animals, and especially read about the methods and

1102
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:48.360
<v Speaker 4>testimonies of successful hunters and successful wildlife photographers. You know,

1103
00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:50.920
<v Speaker 4>if hunting's not your thing, I'm not a hunter. I

1104
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:54.000
<v Speaker 4>enjoy reading that stuff. But I know some people might

1105
00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:58.480
<v Speaker 4>cringe at reading about killing animals, But fine, go read.

1106
00:53:59.079 --> 00:54:02.440
<v Speaker 4>There's great books by wildlife photographers about what works for

1107
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:05.880
<v Speaker 4>them across a range of different species. So it's all

1108
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:06.920
<v Speaker 4>very very useful.

1109
00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:09.760
<v Speaker 2>There you go. Well, I think that kind of covers

1110
00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:11.199
<v Speaker 2>a lot of a lot of ground here in this

1111
00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:13.679
<v Speaker 2>conversation this week, as far as the observer effect goes,

1112
00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:15.880
<v Speaker 2>some of the implications and just some of the you know,

1113
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:18.639
<v Speaker 2>I guess are Rata likes just general thoughts about the subject,

1114
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:21.960
<v Speaker 2>leaving tracks, tracking them, you know, a little bit of

1115
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:24.760
<v Speaker 2>technology like all that kind of stuff. So hopefully our

1116
00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:26.400
<v Speaker 2>listeners got a little bit of something out of that.

1117
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:28.480
<v Speaker 2>And I guess at the end of the episode, we

1118
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:30.400
<v Speaker 2>always like to plug our upcoming events. I'm going to

1119
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:33.159
<v Speaker 2>be speaking at the Hawking Hills big Foot Festival August

1120
00:54:33.280 --> 00:54:36.760
<v Speaker 2>seventh through tenth, just a couple like a week or

1121
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:38.840
<v Speaker 2>two away, right, It's going to be at the Vinton

1122
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:43.239
<v Speaker 2>County fair Grounds in Ohio. Tom Powell just mentioned him

1123
00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:45.639
<v Speaker 2>in the episode. He's going to be there. We have

1124
00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:47.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people. I'm obviously I'm going to be

1125
00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:52.000
<v Speaker 2>speaking there. Some people I unfortunately I don't know. But

1126
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the other people I've heard of and I do know

1127
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:55.800
<v Speaker 2>pretty well. Steve Coles, good friend of the show, is

1128
00:54:55.800 --> 00:54:58.159
<v Speaker 2>going to be there, Mountain Monster folks like the Wild

1129
00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Bill folks, and Turtleman's going to be there apparently. Yeah,

1130
00:55:03.320 --> 00:55:06.320
<v Speaker 2>lots and lots of good times, good fun. Charlie Raymond

1131
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:09.079
<v Speaker 2>and I'm afraid I don't know everybody.

1132
00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Can't know everybody.

1133
00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:13.599
<v Speaker 2>I can't know everybody. They have me speaking on Thursday

1134
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:18.000
<v Speaker 2>at three and Saturday at six. Oh. I got to

1135
00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:19.840
<v Speaker 2>pull a presentation out of my button. Figure out what

1136
00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:22.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be talking about. Interesting, I better start

1137
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:24.239
<v Speaker 2>preparing for that. I'm glad I did this.

1138
00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:29.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I forgot that.

1139
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:32.960
<v Speaker 2>B asked me to do that. How funny. Don't worry,

1140
00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:34.599
<v Speaker 2>be I got you. It'll be awesome.
