<v Speaker 4>So welcome to Wes.

15
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Welcome Wes. Hey, guys, thanks for having me on. I

16
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate it all pleasure.

17
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you for coming on. It's been a long

18
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>time coming between our schedules and your schedule to finally

19
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>have you on as a guest, and we're just thrilled

20
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>about it.

21
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>So thank you. Yeah. First things first, Cliff, how's my

22
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>dog doing?

23
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Our dog is doing fine? Yeah, did I talk about

24
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>that on the podcast? Who our listeners know, Yeah, West

25
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 2>fell in love with Sochi, and I mean, who I

26
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>mean to know Sochi is to love her.

27
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 4>So that's how you can.

28
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>You can always tell if somebody knows has ever met

29
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 2>her because they love her.

30
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

31
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, she's doing great. She's she's I say it

32
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 2>all the time, but I wish they could be old

33
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>dogs longer. She's just perfect. She lays around all the time,

34
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>super Stoked needs super Stoked to go outside for the

35
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 2>smallest of walks. She's absolutely fantastic. She asked about you too,

36
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>so whatever that's worth.

37
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's easy to fall in love with, that's for sure.

38
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 1>And it's so cool that you guys. You know, I

39
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 1>really like your guys' podcast because it's so different. You know,

40
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you guys tackle different subjects. Sometimes you guys have

41
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>guests on. I like the Variety and the show. And

42
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, even with my show being Sessquatch Chronicles, amlingly

43
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>interview eyewitnesses, and I don't think I'd quite have the

44
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 1>show if it weren't for you guys doing finding Bigfoot,

45
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, with the whole I know, you guys get

46
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a crap for finding Bigfoot, but really it was the

47
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 1>start of bringing eyewitnesses forward, you guys going out doing

48
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the investigations. You guys really were the first ones to

49
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>start that. Well, I don't know.

50
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I m'd be giving us a little bit

51
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>too much credit, but we certainly did bring it to

52
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 2>the public. I think put it into the public scrutiny

53
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>for a little while. And you know, it's surprising we

54
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 2>don't get as much crap as you would think for

55
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 2>finding Bigfoot. Some of the Bigfooters like to flick poop

56
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>at us, you know, but I mean that's because they

57
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 2>weren't on TV. You know, they don't get it, and

58
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>there were some hokey things about it and stuff. I

59
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>totally get that for the most part. But by and large,

60
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, the show and I don't think any of

61
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>us as cast members on Finding Bigfoot really understood this

62
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>right at least at first, you know, it sank and

63
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>eventually Bigfooters were not the target audience, you know, the

64
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 2>target audience or the general public who doesn't know anything

65
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>about it and kind of introducing them to this whole thing.

66
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Bigfooters all have an opinion, but they also all have

67
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 2>buttholes and they all stink too, So like it doesn't

68
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>matter what they say.

69
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's so true. You know, it's kind of curious.

70
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>One thing I wanted to ask all three of you, Matt, Bobo,

71
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 1>and Cliff.

72
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Wait, wait, who's only interviewing here?

73
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 4>Buddy?

74
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 2>Whose show is this?

75
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Anyway? I apologize, you're right.

76
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, I'm just totally kidding you. Go ahead.

77
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>That's a great thing about interviewing podcasters is because it's

78
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>a real legit conversation.

79
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. One of the things I was really curious on

80
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 1>your guys' opinion on is you know, a lot of

81
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 1>times when people encounter these creatures, they'll talk about the

82
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 1>force going quiet, dead, silent. It feels very unnatural. Like

83
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>when I've experienced it, it felt weird.

84
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 4>You know.

85
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>I had a witness one time to describe it like

86
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>being underwater or going underwater, you know that sort of thing,

87
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>or like a switch. It's like the forest takes a

88
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 1>deep breath and just goes quiet, and it's usually right

89
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.199
<v Speaker 1>before they see the creature or while they're seeing the creature,

90
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>everything goes silent. And to me, I mean, you know,

91
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I've had researchers go, well, you know, anytime there's a

92
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>big predator in the area your pray is going to

93
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 1>be quiet, and that's true to an extent, But the

94
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 1>bugs don't shut off. The crickets don't shut off. What's

95
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>your guys' take on the forest just going quiet.

96
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 4>I think I think most of the times just the

97
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 4>forest does go quiet. But when you get that like

98
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 4>or that underwater for things, like where you get like

99
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 4>in your in your hair goes up. Because I mean,

100
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 4>I've been in the forest tons of times when it

101
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 4>goes quiet, my hair doesn't stand up. But I've had

102
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 4>those ones where it does go up and and everything

103
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 4>goes dead quiet. You feel like you're, like you said,

104
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 4>like that underwater feeling kind of. I think that's they're

105
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 4>infrastounding us, and like the infrastund shuts everything down, is

106
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 4>what I think. But I'm sure Cliff and metelhouse some

107
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 4>kind of scientif an exploation for that is not that,

108
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:03.560
<v Speaker 4>But that's my take.

109
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 2>See, the thing is, I've encountered sasquatches where it's been

110
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 2>very like a loud forest with tons of life and

111
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 2>things moving and chittering and crackling, and there's been bigfoots around.

112
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 2>But I've also encountered them in the deadliest of quiet situations,

113
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think there's a pattern. Personally, I don't

114
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 2>see one being predominant. I see that in the good

115
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 2>spooky stories people say the forest went quiet, and then

116
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>something dramatic happened. I think there's a pattern in human storytelling.

117
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>But as far as I can tell with sasquatches, and

118
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I've been around them fair amount, you know, in my opinion,

119
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I have. I

120
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>don't think there's a pattern as far as that sort

121
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 2>of thing goes. If people do describe that sort of thing,

122
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>especially with some sort of kind of a murky or

123
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>a fuzzy description of some other sensory input or response,

124
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I would agree with Bobo that is probably infrasonic, because

125
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 2>as doctor Krantz even noted in his book that many

126
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 2>people note the feeling of being watched even before they

127
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>observed the sasquatch that they later found out was in

128
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 2>the area. So I do think that infrasound is the

129
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 2>most likely culprit, so to speak, of all the weird

130
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 2>spooky stuff that may or may not even happen around sasquatches,

131
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>but are certainly prevalent in the stories.

132
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 4>To Cliff's point.

133
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.439
<v Speaker 3>You know, a number of the experiences that I've had

134
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 3>were in noisy forests, Like the first encounter that I

135
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 3>had there was a number of cicada sounds and tree frogs,

136
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 3>like the forest was pretty loud, And I've had other

137
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 3>experiences of that nature in other parts of the country

138
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.959
<v Speaker 3>and then again in quiet forests. But I don't think

139
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 3>any blanket explanation could cover all of the stories of

140
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 3>the experiences. But I think one really important insight that

141
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 3>I had gained from studying a number of other disciplines

142
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.079
<v Speaker 3>was that when something novel emerges, and especially if it's

143
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 3>something novel and threatening, you know, we have a hardwired

144
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 3>response that's called the orienting reflex, where essentially you involuntarily

145
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.000
<v Speaker 3>direct all your attention to the novel thing that's emerged.

146
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 3>So in those cases, all of your cognitive resources get

147
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.199
<v Speaker 3>devoted to this myopic tunnel vision assessment of the novel

148
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.160
<v Speaker 3>or the threat. And so you'll see this phenomenon in

149
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 3>people too that have other frightening, threatening encounters. For example,

150
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.000
<v Speaker 3>like if you've ever been driving down the road and

151
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 3>someone swerves into your lane and you think you're about

152
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 3>to get hit head on, and people will report the

153
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 3>absolute disappearance of all other sensory information. And so in

154
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.199
<v Speaker 3>retrospect it's like, well, you know that there was a

155
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 3>song on the radio, or you were listening to a

156
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 3>podcast or this or that. But you know, I've asked

157
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.800
<v Speaker 3>many people like you ever had that experience, and they'll say, yes,

158
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:49.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm big what song was on the radio? And they're like, oh,

159
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea because it's not committed to memory.

160
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 3>It's deemed immediately irrelevant by your cognitive systems, almost like neurobiologically,

161
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 3>and so in memory, it's as if there was nothing

162
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 3>on the radio. And so I think there's a large

163
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 3>number of these cases, not all of them. I'm not

164
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.519
<v Speaker 3>trying to explain them all away, but I think for

165
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker 3>a number of people going about their business and what

166
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.240
<v Speaker 3>they perceived to be sort of explored territory, and then

167
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.000
<v Speaker 3>this novel, frightening thing emerges and they direct all their

168
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 3>focus and attention to it, again involuntarily, it's against their will.

169
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 3>They have no agency in that. In those systems being

170
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 3>activated in memory, they're thinking like there was an absence

171
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.840
<v Speaker 3>of forest sounds where they may not have been. It's

172
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 3>just that none of those were experienced and therefore none

173
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 3>of those were committed to memory. So I think that

174
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.440
<v Speaker 3>constitutes a large number of those cases. And there are,

175
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 3>to your point, like a handful where people say like

176
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 3>they observed first that the forest went silent, and then

177
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 3>observed something. But in all the people I've interviewed, that

178
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 3>tends to be on the rarer side. Most people just

179
00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:00.120
<v Speaker 3>have this frightening, shocking experience and then you know, describe

180
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 3>like the absence of sounds and all very often like,

181
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 3>well when did you notice the absence of sounds? And

182
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 3>oftentimes it's like during the event or in the recollection

183
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 3>of the event. So I think that constitutes a big

184
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 3>portion of it, if that makes sense.

185
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that does.

186
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:14.919
<v Speaker 2>What do you think, West?

187
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I think there's something else going on there,

188
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.799
<v Speaker 1>because it's so odd if you've ever experienced it, the

189
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>forest just going silent. But there might be something to

190
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.919
<v Speaker 1>Matt's point, you know, I was in a major car

191
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.159
<v Speaker 1>accident and I can't remember the sound of the crash.

192
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I can remember what it felt like hitting the windshield,

193
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:40.759
<v Speaker 1>I can remember pain, but I I can't say that

194
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I remember any sounds going on. It seems like everything

195
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>just kind of slowed down. In that car accident to

196
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 1>where I. You know, you would think I would hear

197
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the crash, but I really don't remember hearing the crash.

198
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Is it like fear, do you think, Matt? Is that

199
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.759
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying is it's your brain chutting down the

200
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>things you don't need at that moment.

201
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 3>I think fear is a component, know of it. But

202
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 3>if you the way I laid it out in the

203
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 3>book is like a cascade of these system failures. You

204
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 3>know that car normal baseline operating systems, and that number one,

205
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.639
<v Speaker 3>you're in a place that you consider to be implicitly

206
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 3>like explored territory. So you know, if someone were to

207
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.360
<v Speaker 3>send you to a habitable earth like planet that no

208
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.840
<v Speaker 3>human had ever gone to, you would know that like, oh, man,

209
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I might encounter some life form that no one's ever seen,

210
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 3>Like you'd have some preparation, you'd be you'd have that

211
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 3>as part of your perceptual system. People just don't feel

212
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 3>that way when they're in Kentucky or northern California or

213
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 3>you know, Utah or something like that. And so when

214
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.360
<v Speaker 3>something like that emerges, it's shocking because it is completely unknown,

215
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.399
<v Speaker 3>it's totally novel, and so that's the sort of first shock,

216
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 3>and the immediate response in the face of novelty is

217
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:53.320
<v Speaker 3>the orienting reflex, coupled with the involuntary freezing response, which

218
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 3>is called tonic immobility, and so you know, you're basically

219
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 3>paralyzed involuntarily. That's conserved across all primates, but especially humans,

220
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 3>great aps, et cetera. And then one of the first

221
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 3>things that we try to do is map the anomaly,

222
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.480
<v Speaker 3>which is sort of like a categorization exercise. And as

223
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, like these things when you talk to witnesses,

224
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 3>this blurs the lines of so many categories that most

225
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 3>people will say, like they spent those seconds cognitively going

226
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.639
<v Speaker 3>what am I looking at? Like it's kind of like

227
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.919
<v Speaker 3>a person, and it's nothing like a person. It's kind

228
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 3>of like a bear. It's nothing like a bear, kind

229
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.039
<v Speaker 3>of like an animal, it's nothing like an animal. And

230
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 3>so they're unable to map the anomaly, so to speak,

231
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 3>and so that creates a sort of cognitive shock that's

232
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:39.399
<v Speaker 3>simultaneous with the physiological shock, you know, the thing that's

233
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.200
<v Speaker 3>instantiated in your body. And then on top of all

234
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 3>those things, you have the basic predator prayer response, because

235
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.039
<v Speaker 3>there's no older fear than the fear of like the

236
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:51.360
<v Speaker 3>large intimidating animal, the thing that's bigger than us. You know,

237
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 3>we're all here because our ancestors successfully navigated that at

238
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 3>least long enough to reproduce, right, And so I think

239
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 3>it's a host of things novelty, you know, the unknown

240
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.960
<v Speaker 3>in the form of a large intimidating animal that's very

241
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:08.879
<v Speaker 3>difficult to categorize without a lot of prior exposure. So

242
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, if you studied sasquatch your whole life and

243
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.480
<v Speaker 3>you went into the forest hoping or expecting to see one,

244
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.200
<v Speaker 3>you might have a different response versus as you know,

245
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.480
<v Speaker 3>because I listen to your podcast and you'll say, like,

246
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 3>what do you think about this, and the vast majority

247
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.240
<v Speaker 3>of your interviewees say like, oh, I thought it was

248
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 3>all nonsense until I saw it, or yeah, I heard stories,

249
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 3>but I never took it seriously, and so bam, you

250
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:33.480
<v Speaker 3>have these multiple systems like failing all at once.

251
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.360
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of like if your body goes in a

252
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.480
<v Speaker 4>freezing you know, you start shutting down part like your

253
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 4>body like takes all the heats of the core.

254
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think a big part of what people describe

255
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 3>that they frame as mystical, metaphysical, paranormal. Are these physiological

256
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 3>and cognitive responses, and so they're not lying when they

257
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.519
<v Speaker 3>say the sasquatch paralyzed me. And you'll find those same

258
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 3>beliefs associated with a host of other animals around the world,

259
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.240
<v Speaker 3>and it's it's true. It's just that the animals not

260
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:06.080
<v Speaker 3>generating something that paralyzes you like it's happening within the

261
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.639
<v Speaker 3>human observer, but because you're powerless to it, it does

262
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 3>feel like it's being imposed upon you. So I think

263
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:13.759
<v Speaker 3>that explains a lot of it, not all of it.

264
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:15.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm not trying to write everything off, but I think

265
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 3>that's a way to bridge the gap between acknowledging that

266
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.240
<v Speaker 3>people are really genuinely having these experiences that people want

267
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.039
<v Speaker 3>to write off as oh, that's just paranormal, therefore it's

268
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.080
<v Speaker 3>a lie. It's like, no, there's a perfectly normal explanation

269
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 3>that says, like, these animals can't exist and these experiences

270
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.120
<v Speaker 3>are real, devoid of a metaphysical explanation.

271
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

272
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Bobo will be right back after these messages. So three

273
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.919
<v Speaker 2>to six months doesn't seem like a long time right

274
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.000
<v Speaker 2>in bigfoot Land. It's not very long because we've been

275
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:57.080
<v Speaker 2>looking for sasquatches for decades and decades and decades. But

276
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:58.840
<v Speaker 2>when you think about what can happen in three to

277
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.200
<v Speaker 2>six months? But what would you do in three to

278
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>six months? I'm going to give me six months go

279
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.480
<v Speaker 2>squatching squad of course, of course, And how much do

280
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.559
<v Speaker 2>you think is going to get done during that time?

281
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>In squatching you're gonna see one in six months? Probably not,

282
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.480
<v Speaker 2>But in three to six months, what you can see

283
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 2>if you're not going to see a sasquatch, is thicker,

284
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:21.799
<v Speaker 2>fuller hair regrown from Hymns our sponsor, Hymns. Not bad

285
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>for just three to six months.

286
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 4>What if you start using Hymns now in six months,

287
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 4>just imagine that thick, full crop up there.

288
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because Hymns will give you a convenient access to

289
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.279
<v Speaker 2>a range of hair loss treatments that work all from

290
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the comfort of your couch.

291
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.360
<v Speaker 4>They make it pretty simple, man. They use real doctors.

292
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:44.600
<v Speaker 4>It's clinically proven ingredients on the use like finesteride and monoxaville.

293
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 2>And I love that I had no doctor visits because,

294
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.159
<v Speaker 2>first of all, doctors who wants to go see a doctor.

295
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Nothing personal doctors. But also you make an appointment now

296
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 2>you get in August or something forget that. So this

297
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.840

320
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.840
<v Speaker 4>Well tigers have them for sound, because you always say, like,

321
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.120
<v Speaker 4>how tigers have that attributed to him? And that could

322
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:09.200
<v Speaker 4>be why people say, like it froze me? Is the

323
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 4>inver sound hit them? I think that's on the table.

324
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.240
<v Speaker 4>I just don't think we necessarily have to reach for that.

325
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.960
<v Speaker 4>When you can show examples of like devoid of the

326
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:21.039
<v Speaker 4>animal generating any sounds or pheromones whatsoever, people will absolutely

327
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 4>have those same responses and they go into dissociative states.

328
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.799
<v Speaker 4>If you listen to enough interviews with people with grizzly

329
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Speaker 4>bear encounters, especially people who are attacked very often, it's

330
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.440
<v Speaker 4>because they spook to grizzly at close range, and one

331
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.399
<v Speaker 4>of the first things they go into, especially if they're

332
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.799
<v Speaker 4>not a woodsman, like not a grizzly hunter or somebody

333
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.639
<v Speaker 4>with a lot of experience, they immediately go into cognitive

334
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.679
<v Speaker 4>shock and a dissociative state and tonic immobility and bammed.

335
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 4>Then the attack happens, and you know, grizzly bears aren't

336
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.200
<v Speaker 4>generating some force that's compelling the person to respond that way.

337
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.159
<v Speaker 4>It's just the normative human response.

338
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Grizzlies are just dicks, Yeah, and it can be I

339
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.639
<v Speaker 2>did this were bringing up a couple points real fast.

340
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Its number one. A couple summers ago, somebody came into

341
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.079
<v Speaker 2>the North American big Foot Center and was talking about

342
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.400
<v Speaker 2>how he accidentally surprised a grizzly bear. I forget it's

343
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.400
<v Speaker 2>in glacier or somewhere like that. It comes around a

344
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 2>corner and there's a grizzly bear right there, ten feet

345
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.680
<v Speaker 2>from him, fifteen feet from him, like entirely too close.

346
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.079
<v Speaker 2>And I thought it was interesting because he said right

347
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 2>away a voice came into my head said you need

348
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:25.359
<v Speaker 2>to get out of here now. And I always bring

349
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:29.279
<v Speaker 2>that up with people who claimed telepathic communication with sasquatches.

350
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Is that are we to believe that grizzlies can do

351
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:33.799
<v Speaker 2>this as well? Because that happened to that man. I thought,

352
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.799
<v Speaker 2>I always think that that's really interesting as far as

353
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:37.400
<v Speaker 2>some of the stuff that you're talking about there, Matt.

354
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:39.519
<v Speaker 2>But also back to the original thing about noises and

355
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 2>no noises and stuff of it's not exactly it's not

356
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 2>exactly in response to the question necessarily, but I do

357
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.759
<v Speaker 2>think it's worth pointing out that number one when we

358
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 2>were on Finding Bigfoot, and you know, I learned a

359
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 2>lot about finding sasquatches on the show, of course, because

360
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Moneymaker is very good at it. You know, I will

361
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:58.279
<v Speaker 2>say that till the day I die. You can talk

362
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.319
<v Speaker 2>whatever smack you want about the show or mat or

363
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:02.839
<v Speaker 2>anybody else, but Matt Moneymaker is one of the best

364
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.720
<v Speaker 2>in the world and actually finding where sasquatches are. And

365
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.680
<v Speaker 2>one of the things I learned from him is always

366
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, it didn't take long to figure it out.

367
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:13.200
<v Speaker 2>A lot of this stuff out, of course, but always

368
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 2>look for where all the animals are, because the forest,

369
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:18.519
<v Speaker 2>just like the ocean, is largely empty.

370
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:19.160
<v Speaker 4>Honestly.

371
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, when I was when I was fishing in

372
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.720
<v Speaker 2>southern California, it was always ninety percent of the fish

373
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:25.480
<v Speaker 2>living ten percent of the ocean, and that's I believe

374
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.920
<v Speaker 2>that's approximately true with the forest as well. So you're

375
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.799
<v Speaker 2>always looking for where there is the most animal life.

376
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:33.680
<v Speaker 2>So the loudest place, you know, the place for the

377
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.119
<v Speaker 2>animals are crunching around doing their thing and moving and

378
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 2>making noises and all that owls we always use owls

379
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.079
<v Speaker 2>as an indicator species because if owls are in the area,

380
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.480
<v Speaker 2>that means the rodents are in the area, and then

381
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.119
<v Speaker 2>the food chain continues from there, right So, And I'm

382
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:47.759
<v Speaker 2>not sure which way to go in this either because

383
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:50.039
<v Speaker 2>at the same time, on the other side of the coin,

384
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the very coin I'm talking about right now, I have

385
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.480
<v Speaker 2>found that some of the best sasquatch spots are places

386
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:02.640
<v Speaker 2>where it's deadly quiet all the time. So it's a

387
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.880
<v Speaker 2>little bit of both as far as noises in the woods.

388
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 2>And I know that's not in direct response what you're saying, Wes,

389
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 2>but I do find that there's a certain dichotomy here.

390
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:10.759
<v Speaker 4>There's a certain.

391
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Complication in the noise no noise sort of thing as well,

392
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.240
<v Speaker 2>because you do find sasquatches where all the animals are,

393
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:24.119
<v Speaker 2>generally speaking, but within those zones where the animals are moving,

394
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.039
<v Speaker 2>because that's where the food happens to be at the time.

395
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.279
<v Speaker 2>If you can find the quietest spots in there, that's

396
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.240
<v Speaker 2>likely where the sasquatches are going to be, because I

397
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 2>think that a great deal of their observation of the

398
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.519
<v Speaker 2>woods themselves is not a visual observation. I mean, it's nighttime,

399
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.400
<v Speaker 2>for example, and you know the forest is thick, you

400
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.759
<v Speaker 2>can't you just can't see very far. I think that

401
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.839
<v Speaker 2>the vast majority of their observation of their environment, of

402
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:53.279
<v Speaker 2>the animals, including humans in their environment, is by listening,

403
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and therefore I think that they gravitate towards those really

404
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 2>quiet places so they can tell if something comes in

405
00:19:58.799 --> 00:19:59.720
<v Speaker 2>or out very easily.

406
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Interesting, I'll see. My next question is where do

407
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you see yourself in five years?

408
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:08.440
<v Speaker 4>What's your take?

409
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Was?

410
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.400
<v Speaker 1>What's my take? Bobo? I don't know. You know, I've

411
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:14.839
<v Speaker 1>experienced it, and I think there's something weird to it.

412
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.799
<v Speaker 1>I think you could be onto something with the infrasound.

413
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I can't disagree with any of your guys's opinions though,

414
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, all of you guys could be onto something.

415
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:27.400
<v Speaker 1>It's just weird how everything. Again, you you would anticipate

416
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:31.640
<v Speaker 1>things going quiet, but things like crickets and the insects

417
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:35.240
<v Speaker 1>just don't shut off. And people report that, they'll say

418
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>everything went quiet, even the cricket shut up. And it

419
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.440
<v Speaker 1>makes me wonder sometimes. And you know, you might be right, Bobo.

420
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:45.599
<v Speaker 1>With the infrasound, it's really hard to say it's that.

421
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:50.640
<v Speaker 1>And I've always been fascinated with when people say that

422
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 1>feeling of being watched, and you know, I don't. I'm

423
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:58.599
<v Speaker 1>not saying that's anything paranormal. But I interviewed Rocky Elmore,

424
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.599
<v Speaker 1>who's a border patrol age, and he told me what

425
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:03.680
<v Speaker 1>they would do is they would sit on the side

426
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.519
<v Speaker 1>of a path in the bushes and they would hear

427
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.640
<v Speaker 1>the people coming through on the path. And it's funny,

428
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:13.240
<v Speaker 1>because well it's not funny. It's interesting that the government

429
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:17.119
<v Speaker 1>actually has instructions on not to look at the people

430
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 1>as they pass by, so they're trained to actually look

431
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:22.880
<v Speaker 1>at the ground as the people are going by. And

432
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I asked Rocky why, and he goes, because people know

433
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 1>when they're being watched. They absolutely know when they're being watched,

434
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.279
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of times they'll look in the direction

435
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.759
<v Speaker 1>of them being watched. And so I've been fascinated with

436
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:39.079
<v Speaker 1>that since too as well. I'm kind of getting off track, but.

437
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.480
<v Speaker 2>No, I agree with you there. I tell a story

438
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:43.279
<v Speaker 2>when I was living back in Long Beach. I remember

439
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I was at a place in line for a burrito

440
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:47.640
<v Speaker 2>or something, which is where I tend to be oftentimes,

441
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 2>but I remember getting a weird feeling and I turned

442
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:53.480
<v Speaker 2>around and there was some guy, you know, like mad

443
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 2>doging me from across the rooms. Like I don't know

444
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:58.279
<v Speaker 2>what I did, but I wasn't even facing his direction,

445
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:01.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, when I kind of like felt compelled to

446
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.200
<v Speaker 2>turn around and see what was going on behind me

447
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 2>because I felt something, I just didn't know what it was.

448
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:08.079
<v Speaker 2>And they go, oh, the why is that guy staring

449
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:09.359
<v Speaker 2>at me? And then it kind of occurred to me.

450
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:10.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like, oh, not.

451
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:13.079
<v Speaker 2>Odd that I kind of felt that or sensed that

452
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:14.160
<v Speaker 2>in some sort of way.

453
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

454
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.759
<v Speaker 3>Rupert Childric, I believe his book is called The Sense

455
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.839
<v Speaker 3>of Being Stared At is probably the most prominent researcher

456
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.240
<v Speaker 3>who's done a lot of work into that subject. You know,

457
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.720
<v Speaker 3>it's interesting, like I've experienced. I can't recall a memory

458
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:29.519
<v Speaker 3>involving insects, but like many times because I'm out in

459
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:31.160
<v Speaker 3>the summertime a lot, and you have a lot of

460
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.839
<v Speaker 3>tree frogs and frogs and all the pools of collected

461
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.759
<v Speaker 3>water on roadbeds or just anywhere on the ground, and

462
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:39.839
<v Speaker 3>there's been like plenty of times that I've been walking

463
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:42.000
<v Speaker 3>through a loud forest and I've made a noise, whether

464
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm like stepping on a stick that breaks or something

465
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.000
<v Speaker 3>like that in the dark, and all the frogs go quiet,

466
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:50.160
<v Speaker 3>and like the proximal ones start first, and then it's

467
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.640
<v Speaker 3>like this wave of silence that extends out beyond you.

468
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.160
<v Speaker 3>Like the frogs at the distance maybe they didn't hear

469
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 3>the stick break, but they heard the other frogs go quiet,

470
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:00.960
<v Speaker 3>and so they go quiet too. That that might occur

471
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:03.680
<v Speaker 3>in some of these cases where proximal to the sasquatch

472
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.200
<v Speaker 3>moving or being seen, like critters go quiet and then

473
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:10.599
<v Speaker 3>it just extends out as other critters noticed the silence,

474
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:13.960
<v Speaker 3>and there's got to be some beneficial adaptation of like,

475
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:17.519
<v Speaker 3>well they go quiet involuntarily for like self preservation, and

476
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:19.920
<v Speaker 3>so it'd be good for all of your species if

477
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:23.519
<v Speaker 3>you notice that your your buddies are setting up that like, oh,

478
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.519
<v Speaker 3>I better shut up too because something's coming, you know.

479
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.079
<v Speaker 3>So there might be something to that. At least maybe

480
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:30.160
<v Speaker 3>that extends to insects or birds as well.

481
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:32.680
<v Speaker 4>Who knows. We know that. I mean everyone's heard that

482
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:35.599
<v Speaker 4>where the frogs shut off, like you know, like it

483
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:38.200
<v Speaker 4>spreads out and all that. I mean, that's normal.

484
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:41.319
<v Speaker 1>I actually had an eyewitness one time. He was in

485
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.480
<v Speaker 1>his tent. He was camping, and I'll make the long

486
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.039
<v Speaker 1>story really really short. But he was sitting in his

487
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.559
<v Speaker 1>tent and he could hear this thing coming in at night.

488
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't just crash through, we would slowly make its

489
00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:57.279
<v Speaker 1>way to the camp. And at first he thought it

490
00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 1>was a person. He didn't even know what it was.

491
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 1>One of the things he said, though, I thought, was

492
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of fascinating. He goes, you know, crickets are on

493
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 1>a timer. And I go, what do you mean they're

494
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:10.319
<v Speaker 1>on a timer? And he goes, listen to crickets. They

495
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.359
<v Speaker 1>will do their noise for like thirty seconds and then

496
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:16.759
<v Speaker 1>they'll stop for ten seconds, and then it'll turn back

497
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:19.839
<v Speaker 1>on for thirty seconds and then they'll stop. And if

498
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.279
<v Speaker 1>you notice, they're all in in sequence with each other.

499
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>And it was kind of fascinating because this creature would

500
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.759
<v Speaker 1>only move when the cicadas and the you know or

501
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.359
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was, the crickets would be loud, and the

502
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:36.920
<v Speaker 1>minute they would stop, it would stop moving. He could

503
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.039
<v Speaker 1>hear it stop moving in the forest and I thought

504
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:41.279
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of fascinating.

505
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh, definitely. I think there's plenty of like ambush predators

506
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 3>that move. They use the natural sounds as subterfuge. At

507
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.880
<v Speaker 3>one sasspatch encounter I had in Oklahoma sort of fit

508
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 3>that model. That's why I don't think they're necessarily generating

509
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 3>something that would always tip off their presence, because it

510
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.599
<v Speaker 3>seems like their whole lifestyles dependent on not being detected anything.

511
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 3>So whatever percentage of their diet consists of animal protein,

512
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, if they're grabbing prey, they would just never

513
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.440
<v Speaker 3>eat if they constantly, if they were like generating something

514
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:13.519
<v Speaker 3>that let everything know like, hey, I'm here all the

515
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:17.079
<v Speaker 3>time versus you know, these these other examples. But yeah,

516
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 3>that's that's an interesting one for sure.

517
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, unless they didn't want you there, which is what

518
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that a lot of the human things are.

519
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:26.359
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't think we're necessarily seeing its prey species

520
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 2>for sasquatches, and as evidence of that is we're all here,

521
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, but we would have been killed by now

522
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.400
<v Speaker 2>if that was the case. But I think that if

523
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>if a sasquatch says it finds us camping in their

524
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:40.559
<v Speaker 2>zone and they're saying this isn't cool, they might they

525
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:42.640
<v Speaker 2>might be over there growling, But I would agree that

526
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:46.319
<v Speaker 2>they certain in my opinion, they almost certainly do not

527
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:50.559
<v Speaker 2>know that we cannot hear any infrasonic noises that they

528
00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:53.279
<v Speaker 2>emit in the same sort of way that I'm convinced

529
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:56.160
<v Speaker 2>that they don't know that we can't see in the dark,

530
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.960
<v Speaker 2>because you know the thermal imaging shots that are available

531
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 2>out there. They're all hiding, you know, Like, why would

532
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.279
<v Speaker 2>they be hiding from us if they know that we

533
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 2>can't see them in the dark. Right, So it's like

534
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:09.519
<v Speaker 2>when I was in fifth grade and somebody told me

535
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:13.519
<v Speaker 2>that dogs are color blind. I couldn't really wrap my

536
00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:15.640
<v Speaker 2>head around that because I wasn't colorblind. I think that

537
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 2>they have the same sort of intellect, you know that

538
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:20.640
<v Speaker 2>outside of their experience, it's really hard for them to

539
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 2>figure that out, you know. So why would they be

540
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:26.079
<v Speaker 2>making noise if they can hear it and we can't.

541
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:27.359
<v Speaker 2>They wouldn't know that we can't hear it.

542
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I had a guy on the show. I've talked about

543
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:32.519
<v Speaker 1>this many times, and you bring up a good point, Cliff,

544
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:35.880
<v Speaker 1>about you know, why don't they attack more people? I

545
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.480
<v Speaker 1>often wonder that. I mean, I'll hear our encounters where

546
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I think this guy's dead. I mean, I'm talking to

547
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.319
<v Speaker 1>him on the phone. He's obviously not dead. But they

548
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:46.480
<v Speaker 1>seem like they get so pissed to a certain point,

549
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:50.480
<v Speaker 1>but generally they don't kill you. And I've always wondered

550
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:53.319
<v Speaker 1>about that. Oh. I had this guy on the show

551
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:59.000
<v Speaker 1>one time and he I always used the Finding Bigfoot illustration.

552
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, you know, and he watched the guys on

553
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Finding Bigfoot how it looks like they're lit up when

554
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.400
<v Speaker 1>like Cliff or Bobo or Renee, they had their cameras

555
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:09.279
<v Speaker 1>right in front of their face, and I was like,

556
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:13.279
<v Speaker 1>they're actually walking around there dark. That's actually this infrared

557
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:16.279
<v Speaker 1>light hitting them. And I know a lot of people

558
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:19.880
<v Speaker 1>have wondered if Sasquatch could actually see that infrared light.

559
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Obviously I don't know, but this is just an illustration

560
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.640
<v Speaker 1>of what someone told me. But he had these things

561
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>on his property, right, and he was trying to get

562
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:32.720
<v Speaker 1>them on video. And he goes out there one night

563
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:35.599
<v Speaker 1>and he's up on this hillside and I know the

564
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:38.519
<v Speaker 1>camera camera ed was a cannon. It was a night

565
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>visioning camera where you press a button and that infrared

566
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:44.559
<v Speaker 1>light kicks out. Well, without that infrared light, you just

567
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.720
<v Speaker 1>have starlight to kind of see. And he sees these

568
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:50.839
<v Speaker 1>two guys down below him while he's up on this

569
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.839
<v Speaker 1>ridge and it looks like they're talking to each other.

570
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:57.039
<v Speaker 1>He's like, is that my neighbor? Is that my neighbor

571
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>on my property? And you know, he totally threw bigfoot

572
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.519
<v Speaker 1>out the window for some reason. He was like, it's

573
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:03.440
<v Speaker 1>got to be one of my neighbors. And he was

574
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.960
<v Speaker 1>on the starlight portion of the camera. Well, he clicked

575
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that button. And I know the camera because I used

576
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to own one as well, But he clicked that button

577
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and that infrared beam comes out, which really lights it

578
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:19.200
<v Speaker 1>up when you're looking through the eyehole of the camera.

579
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.079
<v Speaker 1>The minute he hit that button, it was two of

580
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.079
<v Speaker 1>these creatures. They both turned and looked right at him,

581
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 1>like he had turned on a flashlight or something and

582
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:31.519
<v Speaker 1>shined it right on them. And so it does make

583
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:33.559
<v Speaker 1>me wonder, you know, if they can see in these

584
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.680
<v Speaker 1>different spectrums or hear in these different spectrums that we can't.

585
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:40.960
<v Speaker 3>I totally think they do. I've had that experience with

586
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Elk in the dark, you know, where I'm watching Elk

587
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 3>through a night vision unit and then I turned on

588
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:46.119
<v Speaker 3>the infrared illuminator and it.

589
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:47.240
<v Speaker 4>Just turns and looks right at me.

590
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:50.359
<v Speaker 3>And then with game cameras, I've seen the same phenomenon where,

591
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:52.319
<v Speaker 3>you know, I use these Verreconics game cameras in the

592
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.599
<v Speaker 3>field for years, because you know, infrared light only refers

593
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.920
<v Speaker 3>to the human visible spectrum, so it's infrared as any

594
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:04.359
<v Speaker 3>below the human ability to detect. And so I had

595
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.359
<v Speaker 3>a number of pictures from these stationary cameras where animals

596
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:09.480
<v Speaker 3>would walk right by them during the daytime and never

597
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:12.640
<v Speaker 3>look at them all seasons, you know, so summer you

598
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 3>could assume it'd be noisy with like insects sounds the

599
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.480
<v Speaker 3>day and night in the wintertime when it's totally dead

600
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:21.279
<v Speaker 3>and quiet, and during the daytime they'd walk right by,

601
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:23.400
<v Speaker 3>and at night they'd stop and look right at the camera.

602
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:25.160
<v Speaker 3>And so I don't think it was that they were

603
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.480
<v Speaker 3>hearing it or that they were smelling it, because then

604
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.279
<v Speaker 3>you'd think, well, hearing and smelling are not light dependent,

605
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:34.200
<v Speaker 3>because the camera's not firing that ir flash during the daytime,

606
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:36.559
<v Speaker 3>and you know, if they were hearing it smelling it,

607
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:38.440
<v Speaker 3>they should be just as interested in it as day

608
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:40.000
<v Speaker 3>or night. But it was only at night that they'd

609
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:42.359
<v Speaker 3>stop and stare and look right at that flashing light.

610
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 3>And so most mammals that operate at night, can see

611
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.839
<v Speaker 3>into the infrared range or the near ir range at

612
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:51.079
<v Speaker 3>the very least, So to me, it would make perfect

613
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:52.319
<v Speaker 3>sense that these things could too.

614
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's two I have two data points for my

615
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:58.599
<v Speaker 2>supposition that they do that exactly that same thing, seeing

616
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:01.200
<v Speaker 2>a little bit at least into the for red. And

617
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:04.359
<v Speaker 2>number one is the Kentucky pancake video, which I think

618
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:07.359
<v Speaker 2>is legitimate and its attributed again to Matt Moneymaker, was

619
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:09.799
<v Speaker 2>part of the Ericson project where the lady put out

620
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:13.319
<v Speaker 2>the thing of food in that infrared spotlight and it

621
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:16.559
<v Speaker 2>did not enter the spotlight when the sasquatch came up

622
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:18.440
<v Speaker 2>to grab it, it stayed at the edge of the

623
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:20.759
<v Speaker 2>spotlight and reached in and picked up the plate and

624
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:23.480
<v Speaker 2>sat there at the edge outside the light and ate

625
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the thing, which I thought was interesting. And also the

626
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>case when Bobo and I were out at the water

627
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:31.519
<v Speaker 2>spot and we had sasquatches there that night. It was

628
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:33.839
<v Speaker 2>one of the crazier nights I've ever experienced, and I

629
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:36.960
<v Speaker 2>think Boba would probably back that up. The thing was

630
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.000
<v Speaker 2>making as much noise as it possibly could to scare

631
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:45.359
<v Speaker 2>us away by splashing in the water of this swampy

632
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:47.519
<v Speaker 2>area that we were camped next to. That's what we

633
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>call it, the water spot, and it was just going crazy.

634
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:54.039
<v Speaker 2>It's going like bananas. And then I had one of

635
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:56.000
<v Speaker 2>those Sony night shot cameras because this is way I

636
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:57.480
<v Speaker 2>don't even know what year, Bobo, what do you think,

637
00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.279
<v Speaker 2>like two thousand and two or three or something. I've

638
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:01.720
<v Speaker 2>no idea. You're five six, I have no idea.

639
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:03.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, like two thousand and six.

640
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 2>I had one of these Sony night shot cameras and

641
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:08.359
<v Speaker 2>I was just I was going to turn it on

642
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:11.599
<v Speaker 2>to record the noise, you know, because at the time

643
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I was still working with mini disc players and my

644
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.119
<v Speaker 2>mini disc had run out of whatever, and I didn't

645
00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:18.680
<v Speaker 2>nothing was recording at the time, you know, And so

646
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.359
<v Speaker 2>I turned on the camera just to record the noise.

647
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:24.920
<v Speaker 2>But unbeknownst to me, the night shot was enabled, and

648
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 2>it was about a foot above the ground, all the

649
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:29.519
<v Speaker 2>way on the other side of this pond. Thing that's

650
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:31.440
<v Speaker 2>got to be you know what is that, Bobes. You're

651
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:33.519
<v Speaker 2>good at distances one hundred and twenty yards or something

652
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:33.839
<v Speaker 2>like that.

653
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:36.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh from where it was, Yeah, it was it was

654
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:39.759
<v Speaker 4>a good hundred and ten yards. Yeah.

655
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I always ask a football guy. If you don't know,

656
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.720
<v Speaker 2>you know. Yeah, So that and the second I turned

657
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:47.119
<v Speaker 2>it on, even though it was facing the ground, like

658
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:51.480
<v Speaker 2>a foot above the ground and that far away, instantaneously,

659
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.200
<v Speaker 2>at the exact same moment, all activities stopped and it

660
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:58.920
<v Speaker 2>went completely silent after that. So that that was pretty

661
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:00.519
<v Speaker 2>telling to me, because I don't think that was just

662
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.640
<v Speaker 2>a coincidence. I think they saw that I turned on

663
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:06.359
<v Speaker 2>a light of some sort and then it just totally

664
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:09.400
<v Speaker 2>went dead quiet. So I've got two data points to

665
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:12.119
<v Speaker 2>sup support my hypothesis on that one. I do think

666
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:13.160
<v Speaker 2>they see in the infrared.

667
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:15.920
<v Speaker 4>They do. They totally do.

668
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bogo.

669
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back after these messages.

670
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:33.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Well, you hear so many your reference stories like oh,

671
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:35.839
<v Speaker 4>I've heard this off the air. They wouldn't go on

672
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:38.559
<v Speaker 4>the air. Like, what's some stories you can tell us

673
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:40.799
<v Speaker 4>like that you heard over the years that didn't make

674
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:41.480
<v Speaker 4>it to the show.

675
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:48.319
<v Speaker 1>There's a couple I remember I had this and this

676
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:52.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of fascinated me. This eyewitness from Washington. He was

677
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:56.440
<v Speaker 1>actually near Bumping Lake. I think he was farther up

678
00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 1>in the hills though I don't think he was actually

679
00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:01.400
<v Speaker 1>on the lake, but he was out there camping. He

680
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:04.799
<v Speaker 1>was doing bushcraft, and he's kind of in the middle

681
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:08.079
<v Speaker 1>of nowhere out there, and so he sets up. This

682
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.319
<v Speaker 1>guy sets up his camp. And I've had so many

683
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:14.279
<v Speaker 1>people run out of Bumping Lake, by the way, but

684
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.240
<v Speaker 1>this guy set up his camp. And the next day

685
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:19.960
<v Speaker 1>he decides to go for like this long walk and

686
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.200
<v Speaker 1>he comes back to his camp and all of his

687
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.960
<v Speaker 1>stuff had been gone through like a person had gone

688
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:28.160
<v Speaker 1>through it. And I'd asked him if anything was missing,

689
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:31.839
<v Speaker 1>and he said that this guy does road construction. And

690
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:37.839
<v Speaker 1>he said that his bright orange vest, anything bright orange,

691
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.720
<v Speaker 1>was taken out of his bag. And so he really

692
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:43.799
<v Speaker 1>thought someone was screwing with him that night or during,

693
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the whole time he was out there. Well,

694
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>that night he falls asleep and he heard this huge

695
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:54.119
<v Speaker 1>crash through the bushes, and this thing sprincester his camp

696
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and as it ran by his tent, it actually ran

697
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.240
<v Speaker 1>its hand across the top of the tent, or what

698
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:03.799
<v Speaker 1>he assumed was the hand across the top of his tent.

699
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.519
<v Speaker 1>And so now in his mind, you know, this is someone.

700
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:10.400
<v Speaker 1>So he jumps out of his tent with a gun,

701
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:14.159
<v Speaker 1>and there's nothing, and he talked about the force being silent.

702
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 1>He said, everything was dead silent, no crickets, nothing, and

703
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:22.000
<v Speaker 1>we kind of talked about that earlier. But the next

704
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>day he goes out, decides to go hiking again, and

705
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:28.840
<v Speaker 1>he leaves. And every time he went hiking, he was

706
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 1>there for a total of three days. Every time he

707
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 1>went hiking, he would always leave the same way and

708
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:37.840
<v Speaker 1>come back the same way, and same thing he would

709
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.800
<v Speaker 1>he took off, he went hiking, he came back to

710
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:44.960
<v Speaker 1>his camp and his tent was actually the stakes were

711
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 1>pulled up and the tent was turned one hundred and

712
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:53.960
<v Speaker 1>eighty degrees away from the woodline. And so again that

713
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:56.920
<v Speaker 1>night there's weird things going on. He said he felt

714
00:34:56.920 --> 00:35:00.119
<v Speaker 1>like there was pebbles being thrown at his tent and

715
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.679
<v Speaker 1>he couldn't really and he would yell at whoever this was.

716
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:04.440
<v Speaker 1>He was like, you know, I got a gun, I'm

717
00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:08.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna shoot you, and no response back, nothing, And during

718
00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the day it would be quiet. It seemed like it

719
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:13.519
<v Speaker 1>only happened at night. He couldn't really figure out how

720
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:17.039
<v Speaker 1>this person unless they hiked in, because there's really nowhere

721
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:19.519
<v Speaker 1>to kind of drive into where he was at well.

722
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:21.119
<v Speaker 1>The third day, he gets up, he goes for a

723
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>hike and he leaves the same way he always leaves

724
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:26.880
<v Speaker 1>to go for a hike when he you know, exits

725
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:30.599
<v Speaker 1>the camp and on his way back, he kind of

726
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:33.639
<v Speaker 1>got turned around and he couldn't figure out exactly how

727
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to get back to his camp. So he takes a

728
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:38.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit of time trying to get back to the

729
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:41.639
<v Speaker 1>camp and he comes back from a completely different route.

730
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.079
<v Speaker 1>And when he came back to camp, he said he

731
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:47.960
<v Speaker 1>was kind of coming in quietly in case this person

732
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:49.880
<v Speaker 1>was in the camp. He was going to confront him.

733
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Before he left. That morning, he actually put his fire out,

734
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know sometimes those fires kicked back up if

735
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you really don't dump water on them, or you know

736
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.159
<v Speaker 1>a lot of winds going on, those coalsl kick back up. Well,

737
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:04.880
<v Speaker 1>this fire had kicked back up, and he had thought

738
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.039
<v Speaker 1>he'd put it out, but when he walked into camp,

739
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.360
<v Speaker 1>what he saw was like this four foot tall creature

740
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:14.119
<v Speaker 1>and what it was doing is it was grabbing the

741
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:16.599
<v Speaker 1>logs out of the fire and it would look at

742
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:19.559
<v Speaker 1>him and drop one, grabbing another one. Look at it

743
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.119
<v Speaker 1>and he said it would make it was making really

744
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:26.320
<v Speaker 1>odd noises like ooh ah. And it was really the

745
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:29.000
<v Speaker 1>expressions on its face, he said, reminded of him, well

746
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:31.760
<v Speaker 1>love like a kid, you know, a kid in wonderment

747
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:35.119
<v Speaker 1>or a kid that's amazed. And one time he had

748
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:37.440
<v Speaker 1>reached in and actually grabbed one of the logs and

749
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:40.519
<v Speaker 1>he sitting there watching this from the woodline. He described

750
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:43.360
<v Speaker 1>this whole creature. It was black, it was covered in

751
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:47.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of a reddish blackish hair. The last time I

752
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:49.760
<v Speaker 1>grabbed a log, he thinks it burned its hand because

753
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:53.239
<v Speaker 1>it dropped the log and it screamed. And when it screamed,

754
00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>he said, it was like almost like a pain scream.

755
00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:59.800
<v Speaker 1>But he said it was so loud, just the sound

756
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:02.239
<v Speaker 1>of saying coming off. And he goes, this creature really

757
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:04.519
<v Speaker 1>wasn't that big. He goes, I'm talking four four and

758
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:08.119
<v Speaker 1>a half feet tall. But when it screamed, he goes,

759
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I felt the scream. I felt like my organs felt

760
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:14.880
<v Speaker 1>like they were shaking when this thing screamed. And it

761
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:17.719
<v Speaker 1>ended up running off and he packed up and got

762
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:20.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, got out of there. But I've had a

763
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I had a guy run out of Bumping Lake, this

764
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.480
<v Speaker 1>older gentleman, he was in that area he was camping

765
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:32.159
<v Speaker 1>and he had called me. He doesn't believe in Bigfoot,

766
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:34.880
<v Speaker 1>by the way, he said, it was some ape, but

767
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:38.480
<v Speaker 1>he had pulled into He was actually camping on the lake.

768
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:41.800
<v Speaker 1>He had pulled in set up his camp. He said

769
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:45.199
<v Speaker 1>the sun was just going down and he was starting

770
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:49.559
<v Speaker 1>to light a fire when this ape looking thing came

771
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:53.880
<v Speaker 1>crashing into his camp and he said it looked pissed.

772
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:57.000
<v Speaker 1>He said that the face on it was pure rage,

773
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:00.559
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't know what it was. He didn't know

774
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:03.599
<v Speaker 1>why this thing was pissed off. He told me he

775
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:07.159
<v Speaker 1>thought it was an ape that probably escaped from the zoo.

776
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:09.840
<v Speaker 1>But as he described it, I mean, this ape is

777
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:13.079
<v Speaker 1>eight feet tall. It's huge. I mean, there's nothing about it. It

778
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:15.760
<v Speaker 1>sounds like an ape. But it had actually picked up

779
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:19.440
<v Speaker 1>his cooler and had thrown it. And he goes, when

780
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I talk about it, and he goes, this cooler was

781
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.920
<v Speaker 1>full of water, ice, all my food. He goes, I

782
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:25.719
<v Speaker 1>was going to be there a week. It was a

783
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:28.719
<v Speaker 1>heavy cooler. He said, this thing picked it up like

784
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you and I would pick up a shoe and just

785
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.639
<v Speaker 1>toss it. And he said it had white teeth, had

786
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:36.719
<v Speaker 1>teeth like a man. He said, had big, square teeth,

787
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and it was just pissed. And he thought that this

788
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:42.960
<v Speaker 1>thing was going to kill him. And he said it

789
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:46.159
<v Speaker 1>would growl and it would mumble, and he said, you know,

790
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:49.519
<v Speaker 1>my little dog does that. He goes, when my dog's growling,

791
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.119
<v Speaker 1>it almost sounds like it's like it's grumbling to itself.

792
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:56.119
<v Speaker 1>He goes, that's kind of what this thing was doing.

793
00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:01.119
<v Speaker 1>It eventually left, but before it left, it screamed at him,

794
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and he goes. The weirdest part about it screaming, He goes,

795
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:07.119
<v Speaker 1>it almost like did a bow, but its head wasn't

796
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.119
<v Speaker 1>facing the ground. It was facing me. And he said

797
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:12.119
<v Speaker 1>it just went out. He could see it taking all

798
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:16.760
<v Speaker 1>this breath and it screamed at him and like you

799
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.119
<v Speaker 1>were saying bubbo earlier with like infrasound. He goes, I

800
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:21.840
<v Speaker 1>felt like I was stunned, you know, And that might

801
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>have been fear. I mean, I probably would have said

802
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the same thing if something that big was screaming at me.

803
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:29.599
<v Speaker 1>But and he said it went marching off into the forest.

804
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:31.480
<v Speaker 1>It didn't really run off, he said, it just kind

805
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:33.800
<v Speaker 1>of walked back into the forest. He got in his

806
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.000
<v Speaker 1>truck and left, and he called me and said, he

807
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:39.760
<v Speaker 1>told me exactly where his camp was at, and he goes,

808
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:42.639
<v Speaker 1>I left behind thousands of dollars of stuff. He goes,

809
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.760
<v Speaker 1>if you want it west, it's yours. I'm not going back.

810
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:49.239
<v Speaker 1>And this guy was like in his late sixties. But

811
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:51.400
<v Speaker 1>he refused to say it was bigfoot because he did

812
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, bigfoot doesn't exist. He was sure it was

813
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:57.920
<v Speaker 1>some ape that escaped from a zoo or something like that,

814
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:02.159
<v Speaker 1>which in you know, makes no sense at all. But

815
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:04.559
<v Speaker 1>you guys know that area bumping the lake, don't you.

816
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:05.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

817
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, have you guys had experiences there? I mean I've

818
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:10.440
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of my witnesses come forward.

819
00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:13.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I was right there when Bart had his famous

820
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:16.199
<v Speaker 4>sighting up there. I was with him. Actually, I was like, dude,

821
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:19.039
<v Speaker 4>I'd go sit outside of camp and then he experienced that.

822
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.559
<v Speaker 4>And then after he saw that, I went out and

823
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:26.079
<v Speaker 4>I had to go number dose. It was actually the

824
00:40:26.119 --> 00:40:27.880
<v Speaker 4>same area where he saw it. I walked out a

825
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:31.079
<v Speaker 4>couple like I don't know, two hundred yards and dug

826
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:32.880
<v Speaker 4>a hole and I was due to my biz. All

827
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:35.079
<v Speaker 4>of a sudden, I got something ran at me full

828
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:38.039
<v Speaker 4>speed through the woods like big heavy bipeople just boom,

829
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:40.760
<v Speaker 4>boom boom, and I said, damn it, I'm taking a turn,

830
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:43.079
<v Speaker 4>get the hell out of here, and it just stopped.

831
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:45.800
<v Speaker 4>And then later that night, I was with my buddy

832
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Jamie Jayden and he had like a nine months old

833
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:50.760
<v Speaker 4>some of them. We were in the same tent and

834
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.440
<v Speaker 4>there was two smaller ones going back and forth around,

835
00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:55.320
<v Speaker 4>going into the camp and out of the camp, and

836
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:56.960
<v Speaker 4>like you know, it was dragging. It's doing that whole

837
00:40:56.960 --> 00:40:58.800
<v Speaker 4>thing about running its fingers along the side of the

838
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:02.159
<v Speaker 4>tent as it walked by on the roof, and just

839
00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:05.000
<v Speaker 4>that mumbling like you can't make out words or language,

840
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:07.559
<v Speaker 4>but it's like you know, something's talking about. You can't

841
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.599
<v Speaker 4>make anything out if you're hearing that, like grumbly, low

842
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:15.480
<v Speaker 4>mumbling stuff. And I've heard some screams there, and yeah,

843
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:18.440
<v Speaker 4>stuff's happen when I've been there. Yeah, it's a great spot.

844
00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's consistent too. It's been a long time. I

845
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:23.360
<v Speaker 2>know several people have seen them there. And I was

846
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:25.679
<v Speaker 2>standing twenty thirty feet from Bart when he saw his.

847
00:41:26.280 --> 00:41:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I was just distracted elsewhere because it was dark, you know,

848
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:30.320
<v Speaker 2>and he Bart didn't say anything, He just kept snapping.

849
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:32.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what is he just snapping about feeling all

850
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:33.360
<v Speaker 2>snappy at me.

851
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think they're in that area, Cliff? Why

852
00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:38.519
<v Speaker 1>do you think they hang out, especially at Bumping Lake.

853
00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

854
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know what it is. I've only

855
00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:43.400
<v Speaker 2>been there once or twice, so I'm not an expert

856
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:45.079
<v Speaker 2>in the area by any means. You know, I know

857
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:47.119
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about the geography and stuff. But what

858
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I find, at least from the areas that I tend

859
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:51.800
<v Speaker 2>to work, is that they're in the same areas all

860
00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:55.639
<v Speaker 2>the time. Like, I really don't think they leave. And

861
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:57.559
<v Speaker 2>this whole migration thing, I don't know where that that

862
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:02.199
<v Speaker 2>came from. This whole migrating thing, there's just zero evidence

863
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:05.920
<v Speaker 2>of that. You know, it's ridiculous to me at least

864
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:09.039
<v Speaker 2>because the spots that I'm working, we're finding the same

865
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:12.679
<v Speaker 2>individual's footprints year round, just just a few miles apart.

866
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:15.719
<v Speaker 2>It's mostly an elevation change and that's really all it is.

867
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:18.360
<v Speaker 2>But again, you got to look at the zones, right,

868
00:42:18.599 --> 00:42:21.480
<v Speaker 2>So what is it about that area? It's probably going

869
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:23.840
<v Speaker 2>to come down to well, food, water and cover, and

870
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:25.960
<v Speaker 2>with sasquatches, you have to look a little bit further

871
00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:30.079
<v Speaker 2>and think about strategic terrain, what sort what features in

872
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:34.440
<v Speaker 2>that environment enable them to get a step up on

873
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:37.920
<v Speaker 2>whatever animals are going after, or on the converse, using

874
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the same skills to create some sort of defensive strategy.

875
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:48.639
<v Speaker 2>What can I observe what's going on and then get

876
00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:51.159
<v Speaker 2>out quickly? And it probably has to do with the

877
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:53.639
<v Speaker 2>steep sides to that, I mean, because it's not all

878
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.039
<v Speaker 2>isolated the bumping Lake. I mean, I've seen footprints from

879
00:42:56.039 --> 00:42:57.960
<v Speaker 2>a place called Rattlesnake. I think it's a creek just

880
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:01.039
<v Speaker 2>a little bit up the slope from there. The next

881
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:05.159
<v Speaker 2>valley over produces stuff too, So it's that zone. There's

882
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:09.360
<v Speaker 2>a group of sasquatches in that zone that probably stay

883
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:12.360
<v Speaker 2>there most if not all, of the year, essentially just

884
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:14.199
<v Speaker 2>move up and down the slopes depending on what the

885
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:17.480
<v Speaker 2>weather's doing. But once they are there, and this has

886
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:19.960
<v Speaker 2>been coined as the halibut effect, you can look at

887
00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:23.960
<v Speaker 2>locations that were active twenty fifty, one hundred or more

888
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:29.559
<v Speaker 2>years ago, and if the area has not changed dramatically,

889
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:32.519
<v Speaker 2>in other words, been paved or something like that, the

890
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:36.079
<v Speaker 2>sasquatches are almost certainly still there. Whatever it is about

891
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:38.519
<v Speaker 2>the zone, they stay in the same area and I'm

892
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:42.199
<v Speaker 2>really interested to see that if after Discovery Day happens,

893
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:46.519
<v Speaker 2>after these things are academically accepted species here in North

894
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:50.559
<v Speaker 2>America that you can study using wildlife biology methods and

895
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:52.880
<v Speaker 2>things like that, if there's going to be some sort

896
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:56.079
<v Speaker 2>of like you know, for lack of better terms, almost

897
00:43:56.159 --> 00:44:02.239
<v Speaker 2>like a cultural territory where like families have lived for

898
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:05.400
<v Speaker 2>generations and they just don't leave because that's what they do,

899
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:09.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, because why leave if everything you need is there?

900
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:12.519
<v Speaker 2>And so it's going to be interesting to see. I

901
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:16.000
<v Speaker 2>think that that will be on the table after academic

902
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:19.440
<v Speaker 2>acceptance of the species and maybe has something to you know,

903
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:21.400
<v Speaker 2>we can look at ourselves. I think when we look

904
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:24.920
<v Speaker 2>when we look towards sasquatches as well as the other

905
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:28.639
<v Speaker 2>ape species, we're holding mirrors up to ourselves, right because

906
00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:31.679
<v Speaker 2>we learn about say like the process of grieving through

907
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:35.679
<v Speaker 2>studying chimps, you know, or compassion or warfare for that matter,

908
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:39.280
<v Speaker 2>by studying chimpanzees. Right, Well, it goes two ways. We

909
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:43.280
<v Speaker 2>can look at ourselves and learn and at least hypothesize

910
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:46.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about sasquatches I believe, you know, I mean,

911
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:49.920
<v Speaker 2>they're not humans by any stretchy imagination. But they're in

912
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:52.320
<v Speaker 2>our family. Just like you can learn a little bit

913
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:54.719
<v Speaker 2>about your say, your brother or sister by looking at yourself,

914
00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:57.000
<v Speaker 2>you can learn a little bit about their species by

915
00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:59.679
<v Speaker 2>looking at ourselves. And the fact that many of us

916
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:03.679
<v Speaker 2>are home bodies and like have seventh generation Oregonian or

917
00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:05.559
<v Speaker 2>whatever these people claim, you know, that kind of stuff,

918
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:11.039
<v Speaker 2>you can probably find some sort of parallel behavior in

919
00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:13.519
<v Speaker 2>their species based on our own, you know. So, I

920
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:15.719
<v Speaker 2>don't know, it's going to be interesting. And these areas,

921
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:19.000
<v Speaker 2>there's something about them. They like, everything they need is there,

922
00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and at the end of the day, if you have

923
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:23.960
<v Speaker 2>everything you want, why leave, you know? And that might

924
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:27.360
<v Speaker 2>be a generational, multi generational phenomenon for all I know.

925
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:29.199
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I definitely think it is.

926
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:34.159
<v Speaker 3>Like there's a really interesting study of chimpanzee cognition that

927
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:37.440
<v Speaker 3>I referenced in the book, but it basically looks at

928
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.880
<v Speaker 3>how much of like the chimpanzee cognitive capacity is devoted

929
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:44.599
<v Speaker 3>to mapping not just space but time. You know, they're

930
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:47.639
<v Speaker 3>in a different environment. It's not a temperate environment like

931
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:51.400
<v Speaker 3>North America, but we do obviously have subtropics and temperate environments,

932
00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:55.280
<v Speaker 3>et cetera. But because resources are paturally distributed, like in

933
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:58.760
<v Speaker 3>a given forest, you know, the fruit let's say, berries, apples,

934
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:00.960
<v Speaker 3>whatever the case, maybe is not evenly distributed. You know,

935
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:03.519
<v Speaker 3>they'll be in patches or you know, certain clusters of

936
00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:08.079
<v Speaker 3>certain foods. So there's this spatial mapping that's required to

937
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:12.920
<v Speaker 3>locate and memorize places the most beneficial routes of ingress

938
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:15.280
<v Speaker 3>and egress to and from those places. But also they're

939
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:18.440
<v Speaker 3>ephemeral because they're seasonal, so they're not always you know,

940
00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:22.159
<v Speaker 3>ripening or available, et cetera. So they're constantly mapping space

941
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.880
<v Speaker 3>and time for a significant portion of their development, and

942
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:29.320
<v Speaker 3>then they operate within that map throughout their lives. And

943
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:33.159
<v Speaker 3>that's probably a big part of like hominoid cognition in general,

944
00:46:33.199 --> 00:46:34.960
<v Speaker 3>and so I think the same would apply to sasquatch.

945
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.280
<v Speaker 3>It's like they seem like they have an intimate familiarity

946
00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:41.199
<v Speaker 3>of the areas that they live in and a map

947
00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:43.719
<v Speaker 3>of that of space and time, which would include the

948
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:47.119
<v Speaker 3>patterning of human activity. And you think if they were

949
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:50.880
<v Speaker 3>migrating and they were constantly inserting themselves into environments with

950
00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:53.199
<v Speaker 3>which they were unfamiliar. First of all, they have to

951
00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:55.800
<v Speaker 3>cross so many roads and interstates, you know, not just

952
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:58.280
<v Speaker 3>the two lane country road that people see them cross,

953
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:00.840
<v Speaker 3>but then also like they would have no idea where

954
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:03.920
<v Speaker 3>the best water sources were, where the prey aggregate, where

955
00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:07.239
<v Speaker 3>humans come and go the most often. You know, I

956
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.000
<v Speaker 3>think the sidings would be so much more numerous if

957
00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:12.519
<v Speaker 3>they were just constantly stumbling into places that they were

958
00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:13.280
<v Speaker 3>unfamiliar with.

959
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:18.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with

960
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Cliff and Bobo. We'll be right back after these messages.

961
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:29.920
<v Speaker 1>But going back to what you guys were just saying,

962
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:33.119
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if you would consider this migration, Cliff,

963
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'd really consider it. But back in

964
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:40.239
<v Speaker 1>I honestly it was twenty fifteen. For about a two

965
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:45.800
<v Speaker 1>year period, I would get these eyewitnesses that we're all

966
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:48.480
<v Speaker 1>seeing the same creature. None of them actually came on

967
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:52.239
<v Speaker 1>the air. I think maybe one of them did, but

968
00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:56.079
<v Speaker 1>all of them I talked to you privately. It was

969
00:47:56.119 --> 00:48:00.960
<v Speaker 1>this large gray sasquatch that people would describe as being

970
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:04.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, sometimes people say, well they you know, their

971
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:07.320
<v Speaker 1>hair was clean, and this one wasn't like that, This

972
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:11.119
<v Speaker 1>saying was dirty. It was filthy and had a piss

973
00:48:11.159 --> 00:48:14.480
<v Speaker 1>poor attitude. But one of the unique features about their

974
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:18.239
<v Speaker 1>creature is had a scar across his chest, almost like

975
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, like you'd have someone cut you with a

976
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:25.400
<v Speaker 1>knife or something, had this huge scar across his chest.

977
00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And eyewitnesses would contact me and again, over to year period,

978
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I talked to a lot of people that had run

979
00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:34.320
<v Speaker 1>into this creature.

980
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:37.480
<v Speaker 4>I heard the same stories I heard about that one.

981
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And it's fascinating because they would all describe this

982
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:45.039
<v Speaker 1>same creature. And by the fourth or fifth one, I

983
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.840
<v Speaker 1>was like, did have a scar on his chest? And

984
00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:50.719
<v Speaker 1>people would stop. There'd be like this long pause on

985
00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the phone. They'd be like, well, how did you know that?

986
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:56.079
<v Speaker 1>And it's because people locals in the area were telling

987
00:48:56.079 --> 00:48:59.239
<v Speaker 1>me about it. But what was weird is in the

988
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:03.639
<v Speaker 1>summertime you would almost find it closer up towards Mount

989
00:49:03.639 --> 00:49:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Saint Helens, and in the winter time you would find

990
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:11.159
<v Speaker 1>it down kind of off the mountain, you know, near

991
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:14.559
<v Speaker 1>yakole Yale, that it would come all actually come off

992
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:17.719
<v Speaker 1>the mountain and it would do this whole like weird

993
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:23.440
<v Speaker 1>counterclockwise circle. People were even seeing it down near the

994
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Columbia River and it would circle back up. But it

995
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:29.239
<v Speaker 1>seems like the hotter it got the farther up the

996
00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:32.400
<v Speaker 1>mountain it went, the colder it got the more it

997
00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:34.400
<v Speaker 1>came down. And I don't know if it was following

998
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:37.880
<v Speaker 1>animals or not, but and I don't even know if

999
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:39.519
<v Speaker 1>i'd really consider that migration.

1000
00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, the furthest distance that I've said this before, but

1001
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:46.039
<v Speaker 2>the furthest distance I'm aware of that two sat that

1002
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:50.320
<v Speaker 2>at the same sasquatch has almost certainly been found is

1003
00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:52.840
<v Speaker 2>sit about sixty miles and that is, of course the

1004
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:55.920
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch that we named the species at Bigfoot, you know,

1005
00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:59.440
<v Speaker 2>because we have Bigfoot's footprint from Bluff Creek in nineteen

1006
00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:03.760
<v Speaker 2>fifty eight to nineteen sixty three, nineteen maybe nineteen sixty four,

1007
00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:08.360
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen sixty three and for sure and then down

1008
00:50:08.360 --> 00:50:10.519
<v Speaker 2>in High Impalm, which is sixty miles away but also

1009
00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:13.480
<v Speaker 2>on one ridge, one mountain ridge. So right now I

1010
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:17.079
<v Speaker 2>happen to have my Google Maps open, we're looking at

1011
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:20.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty miles between Mount Saint Helens and the river and

1012
00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:24.679
<v Speaker 2>the Columbia River, and it's significantly shorter, so I'm that's

1013
00:50:24.679 --> 00:50:26.960
<v Speaker 2>well within the zone now. But this is also a

1014
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:31.679
<v Speaker 2>singular case. And if my model, my hypothetical model of

1015
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:35.679
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch social structure, which is loosely based on the orangutan structure,

1016
00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:38.559
<v Speaker 2>is correct. If it's a big male of some sort,

1017
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:40.960
<v Speaker 2>then they would expect to be ranging a bit further

1018
00:50:41.039 --> 00:50:44.719
<v Speaker 2>than the other ones, because what I think is going

1019
00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:46.800
<v Speaker 2>on is a female and its offspring hang out in

1020
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:49.880
<v Speaker 2>a smaller area than the male, and that abuts another

1021
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:52.159
<v Speaker 2>female in an offspring of abutting another female in an

1022
00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:54.400
<v Speaker 2>offspring sort of thing, and then the big male moves

1023
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:58.559
<v Speaker 2>through and does booty calls essentially with his harem essentially.

1024
00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:01.159
<v Speaker 2>So we're looking at twenty mile between Mount Saint Helens

1025
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:04.840
<v Speaker 2>and the river versus sixty miles between Bluff Creek and

1026
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:08.000
<v Speaker 2>High Impalm with another set of females down there, not Patty,

1027
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:10.400
<v Speaker 2>which is what the female was up in Bluff Creek,

1028
00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:13.079
<v Speaker 2>but a different one in High Impalm. So I think

1029
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:16.519
<v Speaker 2>that's well within reasonable range. But again I would even

1030
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:19.519
<v Speaker 2>have to wonder, like if it was gray, could that

1031
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:21.639
<v Speaker 2>be an indicator of age? And I'm Matt, I know

1032
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:26.559
<v Speaker 2>you've done some work with old, older male silverback gorillas,

1033
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:30.559
<v Speaker 2>reading about them kind of returning to places where they

1034
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:32.480
<v Speaker 2>once grew up because they were run out of their

1035
00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:35.199
<v Speaker 2>social group. At some point. You kind of have to

1036
00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:38.760
<v Speaker 2>wonder if a sasquatch has passed its prime and a younger,

1037
00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:41.400
<v Speaker 2>a young buck so to speak, comes up and displays them,

1038
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:43.280
<v Speaker 2>is he going to be hanging out in the same

1039
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:44.800
<v Speaker 2>areas or is he going to be wandering a little

1040
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:45.400
<v Speaker 2>bit more widely.

1041
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:49.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, in those cases it was actually sub adults reaching adulthood,

1042
00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:52.960
<v Speaker 3>So it wasn't the older males being displaced, but it

1043
00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:55.760
<v Speaker 3>was sub adults being driven out by the current dominant

1044
00:51:55.760 --> 00:51:58.039
<v Speaker 3>male that were returning to these areas. And George Shaller

1045
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:01.760
<v Speaker 3>wrote about that in The Mountain Gorilla Behavior in Ecology.

1046
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:02.320
<v Speaker 4>Which is a great book.

1047
00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:05.840
<v Speaker 3>It details the first observational field study of mountain guerrillas

1048
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:08.519
<v Speaker 3>that it ever occurred. But to that model, yeah, I

1049
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:12.159
<v Speaker 3>mean that's the case with most mammalian species, and especially

1050
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:15.519
<v Speaker 3>the analogous mammalian species like bears, have the same model.

1051
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Where in Appalachia, a male will have a home range

1052
00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:21.559
<v Speaker 3>of about sixteen to eighteen square miles, the females are

1053
00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:23.880
<v Speaker 3>like two to four square miles. The same is true

1054
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:26.800
<v Speaker 3>of tigers, like Siberian tigers, the male covers about fifteen

1055
00:52:26.840 --> 00:52:30.199
<v Speaker 3>hundred square kilometers. The females cover about four hundred and

1056
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:32.840
<v Speaker 3>fifty square kilometers, and so if you apply that to

1057
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:36.239
<v Speaker 3>the sasquatch, like it answers so many questions, but it also,

1058
00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:38.400
<v Speaker 3>like I think the most important one is like, if

1059
00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:41.320
<v Speaker 3>the males are moving that much and they're straying from

1060
00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:44.119
<v Speaker 3>defensible core areas and coming more into the periphery of

1061
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:48.000
<v Speaker 3>human habitation because we're so prolific, that answers the question

1062
00:52:48.079 --> 00:52:51.719
<v Speaker 3>of like, why are most sasquatch sidings of lon males? Well,

1063
00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:55.679
<v Speaker 3>it's like there's a perfectly normal behavioral ecological reason for

1064
00:52:55.719 --> 00:52:58.000
<v Speaker 3>that that applies not only to apes but to these

1065
00:52:58.000 --> 00:52:59.719
<v Speaker 3>other analogous mammals as well.

1066
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:02.800
<v Speaker 2>But again back to the point West, I wouldn't consider

1067
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:06.159
<v Speaker 2>that necessarily a real strong migration as opposed to just

1068
00:53:06.199 --> 00:53:07.000
<v Speaker 2>wandering around.

1069
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's kind of what I thought too. And this

1070
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:12.760
<v Speaker 1>particular creature had a real piss poor attitude. Like I said,

1071
00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:14.639
<v Speaker 1>it terrified everyone it ran into.

1072
00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:18.760
<v Speaker 3>That's a common feature of the large gray males, which

1073
00:53:18.800 --> 00:53:21.360
<v Speaker 3>I do think is a function of age. But when

1074
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:23.440
<v Speaker 3>I was with the North American Woody Conservancy, there was

1075
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:25.599
<v Speaker 3>a number of sidings down there of at least one

1076
00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:29.000
<v Speaker 3>very large gray individual, although some positive that there might

1077
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:31.960
<v Speaker 3>have been two, but we did a whole episode because

1078
00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:34.239
<v Speaker 3>they colloquially would refer to that one as old Gray.

1079
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:38.440
<v Speaker 3>And it was fairly bold, and I wouldn't say aggressive

1080
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:42.760
<v Speaker 3>as much as just like confrontational, almost like direct confrontation,

1081
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.239
<v Speaker 3>but without you didn't chase people or scream out a

1082
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:48.000
<v Speaker 3>roar at them, but it would be pretty confrontational. And

1083
00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:50.000
<v Speaker 3>so if you go back through a lot of the literature,

1084
00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:52.760
<v Speaker 3>whether it's John Green's database or the things, you find that, like,

1085
00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:55.719
<v Speaker 3>these grayer ones tend to be very large, not just

1086
00:53:55.800 --> 00:53:57.320
<v Speaker 3>in height but in mass, because you know, you have

1087
00:53:57.360 --> 00:53:59.679
<v Speaker 3>these subadults that are almost of equal height, but they

1088
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:02.480
<v Speaker 3>tend to darker in color and thin that sort of

1089
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:07.239
<v Speaker 3>a lean, lanky basketball player Olympic swimmer build versus like

1090
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:10.079
<v Speaker 3>something of the similar size, but it's just built like

1091
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:13.960
<v Speaker 3>a you know, brick crap house, just big, thick and massive.

1092
00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:17.920
<v Speaker 3>And those gray ones tend to be like pretty confrontational

1093
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:19.360
<v Speaker 3>in the sense of like they don't seem to have

1094
00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:22.519
<v Speaker 3>as much fear or avoidance of people, And so I'm

1095
00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:25.000
<v Speaker 3>always fascinated by those stories. So that's really interesting.

1096
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Wes, you know you may have noticed we do

1097
00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:30.800
<v Speaker 2>a podcast too, And by the way, whatever it's worth

1098
00:54:30.920 --> 00:54:35.199
<v Speaker 2>whenever you you text us after our episodes come out

1099
00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:38.239
<v Speaker 2>and heckle us. I'm always flattered, by the way, because

1100
00:54:38.280 --> 00:54:40.599
<v Speaker 2>you're the you're the king of Bigfoot podcast. Honestly, I

1101
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:44.440
<v Speaker 2>mean you really are. And uh so we deeply appreciate

1102
00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:46.800
<v Speaker 2>your help getting ours launched and everything. And and then

1103
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:49.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, on a Tuesday or something, I'll get some

1104
00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:52.440
<v Speaker 2>heckling bust iner butt email or text from you and

1105
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:54.559
<v Speaker 2>I said, oh crap, I forgot Wes is even listening,

1106
00:54:54.599 --> 00:54:57.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, because I forget anybody listens, but they do,

1107
00:54:57.840 --> 00:54:59.679
<v Speaker 2>and you're one of them. And it kind of makes

1108
00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:02.360
<v Speaker 2>me up my game a little bit and be extra

1109
00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:06.360
<v Speaker 2>thankful for our editor, Matt Pruitt. But doing a podcast

1110
00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:09.039
<v Speaker 2>is hard, man. It's not just sitting down once like

1111
00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:10.719
<v Speaker 2>an hour a week or something like that. There's a

1112
00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:13.920
<v Speaker 2>lot more that goes into this. And God, you're kind

1113
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:16.119
<v Speaker 2>of a one man show in a lot of ways.

1114
00:55:16.119 --> 00:55:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I must how many of these things do you pump?

1115
00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Like in a busy week, are you doing like two

1116
00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:23.079
<v Speaker 2>or three episodes? And I imagine you take a week

1117
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:24.679
<v Speaker 2>or two off or something like are you doing two

1118
00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:26.199
<v Speaker 2>or three of these things a week sometimes?

1119
00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Or yeah, I do a public show and then I

1120
00:55:28.840 --> 00:55:32.199
<v Speaker 1>do a member show. But you guys know, I mean

1121
00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:35.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you're range for eyewitnesses to come on, then they

1122
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:39.719
<v Speaker 1>don't show up, and so throughout every week, I mean,

1123
00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:44.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to people, and but I mainly do two

1124
00:55:44.119 --> 00:55:48.320
<v Speaker 1>episodes a week, and it doesn't seem like much work.

1125
00:55:48.320 --> 00:55:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people think I turn on

1126
00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the mic and hit record and there you go, we're done.

1127
00:55:53.960 --> 00:55:56.320
<v Speaker 1>But there's a lot that goes into it. But to

1128
00:55:56.480 --> 00:55:58.079
<v Speaker 1>answer your question, Cliff, yeah, two a.

1129
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:00.599
<v Speaker 2>Week, two a week, Yeah, because that's it's tough man

1130
00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:02.440
<v Speaker 2>stuff to even do that. And it doesn't sound like

1131
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:05.639
<v Speaker 2>could be very hard, but from experience, it can be excruciating.

1132
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:06.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1133
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:09.440
<v Speaker 3>People need to understand just like how big and awesome

1134
00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:12.719
<v Speaker 3>Wes's audiences and how generous Wes is. I remember when

1135
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:15.519
<v Speaker 3>we first talked, Wes had reached out to me. We

1136
00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:18.199
<v Speaker 3>were talking about podcast production, and then he was like, so,

1137
00:56:18.199 --> 00:56:20.199
<v Speaker 3>why'd you pick a bigfoot podcast? And I was like,

1138
00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:22.320
<v Speaker 3>oh no, no, I'm not a podcast guy. I'm a bigfoot

1139
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:23.840
<v Speaker 3>guy that just happens to do this. So then we

1140
00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:26.039
<v Speaker 3>talked about a Bigfoot for a few hours, and he

1141
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:29.559
<v Speaker 3>promoted an episode or two of a podcast I was

1142
00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:32.559
<v Speaker 3>producing at the time, and we had this like massive

1143
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:36.400
<v Speaker 3>spike in listenership, and so I reached out to you, Wes.

1144
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:38.599
<v Speaker 3>I was like, dude, that was super kind to you, man,

1145
00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:40.880
<v Speaker 3>to bring people's attention to thank you so much. Wes

1146
00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:43.000
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh, no, dude, that was all you, brother,

1147
00:56:43.039 --> 00:56:45.679
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, no, it was not, it was

1148
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:47.840
<v Speaker 3>you because it was this huge spike.

1149
00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:49.400
<v Speaker 4>So greatly appreciate that. Man.

1150
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:53.400
<v Speaker 3>You've always been super generous with making our content available

1151
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:56.199
<v Speaker 3>to your audience, and like I always say, like, whatever

1152
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:58.639
<v Speaker 3>we give you props, I'm like, well, I'm pretty sure

1153
00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:02.639
<v Speaker 3>one hundred percent of our liststeners listened to Sasquatch Chronicles,

1154
00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:05.559
<v Speaker 3>So we're preaching the choir, but we do so happily

1155
00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:07.519
<v Speaker 3>because you've always been so generous to us.

1156
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh. I appreciate it, guys, and I appreciate the kind

1157
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:12.360
<v Speaker 1>of words. I don't know if I'm the king of

1158
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the Bigfoot podcast. I think you're the only one that

1159
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:16.840
<v Speaker 1>says that, Cliff, but.

1160
00:57:18.239 --> 00:57:21.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm going that says it. We all say it. I

1161
00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:25.239
<v Speaker 4>said it first. I've been doing it for twenty years.

1162
00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I made up the word king.

1163
00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:32.440
<v Speaker 2>And when I first saw that, you were, you know,

1164
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:35.440
<v Speaker 2>retweeting or reposting our episodes and thinking what is this?

1165
00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, it was just amazing. It was just

1166
00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:41.039
<v Speaker 2>it was humbling, honestly, you know, yeah, because you know whatever,

1167
00:57:41.039 --> 00:57:42.960
<v Speaker 2>we're on TV and stuff. But that's stupid, man, Like,

1168
00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:45.320
<v Speaker 2>you have a huge listenership every single week and it

1169
00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:47.039
<v Speaker 2>keeps coming back from more and you've been killing to

1170
00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:49.960
<v Speaker 2>sing for for how long has Sasqatch Chronicle has been

1171
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:51.679
<v Speaker 2>on the air now, and it's forever right?

1172
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:55.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was two thousand and twelve, I think, or thirteen.

1173
00:57:55.559 --> 00:57:59.800
<v Speaker 4>Twelve, thirteen years. Yeah, that's crazy. It is crazy. We

1174
00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:02.360
<v Speaker 4>doubled our We doubled our listenership after I was on

1175
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:04.840
<v Speaker 4>a guest on West's show. We doubled our listenership in

1176
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:05.880
<v Speaker 4>like ten days.

1177
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I've seen those things happen many times, like

1178
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:10.880
<v Speaker 3>when Wes had you guys on and it was great

1179
00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:14.159
<v Speaker 3>to see. So it's super cool that you know you've

1180
00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:16.280
<v Speaker 3>stuck with it this many years and that you're you know,

1181
00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:19.559
<v Speaker 3>you've built such an awesome loyal audience and that they're

1182
00:58:19.559 --> 00:58:23.199
<v Speaker 3>so open minded to listening to other sasquatch related shows too.

1183
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:25.920
<v Speaker 3>Like it's that's like the quiet side of the community

1184
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:28.360
<v Speaker 3>that people just don't realize exist, you know. They they

1185
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:31.559
<v Speaker 3>just see this sort of like content creators and talking heads.

1186
00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:33.559
<v Speaker 3>They don't realize, like now, man, there's a lot of

1187
00:58:33.679 --> 00:58:36.920
<v Speaker 3>people out there who are super interested in this subject.

1188
00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:38.920
<v Speaker 3>They just don't go around like posting about it.

1189
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:41.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, yeah, I appreciate it.

1190
00:58:41.639 --> 00:58:41.840
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1191
00:58:41.920 --> 00:58:46.960
<v Speaker 1>It's it's guys like John Bennernuggle. You know, when him

1192
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:49.599
<v Speaker 1>and I became friends, and you know, he meant a

1193
00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:51.639
<v Speaker 1>lot to me, and he would always tell me, you know,

1194
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:56.039
<v Speaker 1>be kind of people, be humble, try to have those

1195
00:58:56.159 --> 00:58:59.440
<v Speaker 1>qualities because it'll it'll bring more people in. He goes,

1196
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:02.679
<v Speaker 1>there's enough arrogance, there's enough egos in the bigfoot world

1197
00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:07.679
<v Speaker 1>that just be different. And you know, I would watch

1198
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:12.880
<v Speaker 1>John and even Bob Gimlin at these conferences, and I

1199
00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:15.039
<v Speaker 1>mean the nicest guys. I saw a lot of crazy

1200
00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:17.840
<v Speaker 1>people go up to John a lot where I probably

1201
00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:20.119
<v Speaker 1>would have ended the conversation, but he sat there and

1202
00:59:20.119 --> 00:59:23.320
<v Speaker 1>talked to them. I never heard him speak poorly of anyone,

1203
00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:25.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, so it kind of gave me a goal

1204
00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to shoot for. You know, the bigfoot world is ugly enough.

1205
00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:31.760
<v Speaker 1>There's enough egos, and I try and stay out of it,

1206
00:59:32.119 --> 00:59:35.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, with the different researchers and everything else. And

1207
00:59:36.559 --> 00:59:38.840
<v Speaker 1>with the podcasting world. That's what I and you and

1208
00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I were talking about this Matt at Cliff's house, you know,

1209
00:59:42.559 --> 00:59:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the podcasting world, I really especially when it comes to

1210
00:59:46.320 --> 00:59:50.159
<v Speaker 1>like Bigfoot and cryptids and stuff like that. And they're

1211
00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:52.440
<v Speaker 1>not everyone's like this, but I will say most of

1212
00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:55.639
<v Speaker 1>the podcasters are really super easy to get along with.

1213
00:59:56.320 --> 01:00:00.000
<v Speaker 1>They're really you see a lot of the ego die Dama,

1214
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.079
<v Speaker 1>and you know, if I contributed to that in some

1215
01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:07.679
<v Speaker 1>little way, then I mean that would make me happier

1216
01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>than anything else, just changing the dynamic and changing the

1217
01:00:12.480 --> 01:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>attitude in the room, because you don't quite get the

1218
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>the attitude you get with like in the bigfoot world,

1219
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:23.119
<v Speaker 1>that you don't get it with the podcasters. The podcasters

1220
01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>generally are pretty cool guys. And it's like I tell people, man,

1221
01:00:27.039 --> 01:00:30.039
<v Speaker 1>it's hey, if we all help each other, it's your

1222
01:00:30.039 --> 01:00:33.079
<v Speaker 1>success is my success. My success is your success.

1223
01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:35.559
<v Speaker 4>Dude. You're cool guys, and even rip off your whole

1224
01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:37.400
<v Speaker 4>freaking just copy you completely.

1225
01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>You're still yeah, which can be difficult at times. I'm human,

1226
01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I try. I try to be nice

1227
01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>to everyone, and I really try to help everyone, and

1228
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:53.440
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's been me. But at the end of the day,

1229
01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:56.559
<v Speaker 1>I think that's really how you change the attitude of

1230
01:00:57.079 --> 01:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the big Foot world. If these guys don't have an ego,

1231
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>then why do you have an ego? You know? Or

1232
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>like you? And you and Cliff, I mean, you guys

1233
01:01:03.960 --> 01:01:07.199
<v Speaker 1>were on TV. You guys are coolest guys on the planet,

1234
01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>most laid back guys on the planet, fun to hang

1235
01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:12.960
<v Speaker 1>out with. And if anyone's going to have an ego,

1236
01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys should have an ego and you don't, So

1237
01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>it just makes it makes it more welcoming for more

1238
01:01:20.440 --> 01:01:23.119
<v Speaker 1>people to come into this subject, you know, newer people

1239
01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>coming in.

1240
01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:27.119
<v Speaker 4>I think Bob Gimmel definitely was the example that a

1241
01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:30.440
<v Speaker 4>lot of us strive to be like like Fob because

1242
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:32.000
<v Speaker 4>he's just so gracious.

1243
01:01:32.320 --> 01:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>But I'm glad you brought up Bender Nagle as well,

1244
01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>because he's again just the nicest, was the nicest kind

1245
01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>of the planet and so much of a I feel

1246
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:43.440
<v Speaker 2>like I will honestly be striving the rest of my

1247
01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>life to have the patience and kindness that John showed

1248
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:47.639
<v Speaker 2>to people.

1249
01:01:48.159 --> 01:01:50.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'll tell you a funny story. Johnny's to always

1250
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>put me in check because I would be like, well,

1251
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it's an ape. And towards the end of John's life,

1252
01:01:55.920 --> 01:01:59.239
<v Speaker 1>I will say his attitude kind of changed a little bit.

1253
01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>He was more willing to hear more of the weird

1254
01:02:02.199 --> 01:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>stuff out and really think about it and give you

1255
01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:07.039
<v Speaker 1>his answer on it. And if he didn't know, he

1256
01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:09.519
<v Speaker 1>would say I don't know, but you know, he would

1257
01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:11.119
<v Speaker 1>he would put me in check in certain ways to

1258
01:02:11.119 --> 01:02:14.599
<v Speaker 1>where I would give an answer and John would be like, oh,

1259
01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know you had it already, you had it all,

1260
01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>figure it out, Well tell me more. You know. That

1261
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>was like his old man way of, you know, putting

1262
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:26.559
<v Speaker 1>me in check, basically saying you don't know everything. But

1263
01:02:26.679 --> 01:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>John was I love John. I did a whole thing

1264
01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>for kind of remembering him. And it was the week

1265
01:02:32.599 --> 01:02:35.239
<v Speaker 1>he died and I couldn't even get the show out.

1266
01:02:35.280 --> 01:02:37.199
<v Speaker 1>I tried to record it and I would break down

1267
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:42.039
<v Speaker 1>in tears every time I tried to do that remembering John.

1268
01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>And he called me right before he died and he

1269
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:48.159
<v Speaker 1>was trying to say goodbye, and I wouldn't hear it.

1270
01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to hear it, and I would I

1271
01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>would tell him John, You're gonna be fine, you know,

1272
01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>And I would cut him off, I don't you know.

1273
01:02:55.440 --> 01:02:58.119
<v Speaker 1>And I regret that now because he died the next day.

1274
01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>But he was calling to say goobye and I didn't

1275
01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:05.239
<v Speaker 1>want to hear it. So John, John was if I

1276
01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:07.559
<v Speaker 1>could be half the man he was, I would be.

1277
01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I would call it a win.

1278
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:11.159
<v Speaker 4>That's how That's how I first talked to you, was

1279
01:03:11.880 --> 01:03:14.760
<v Speaker 4>we need that thing for John, you give a tribute

1280
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:19.639
<v Speaker 4>to him, contact you saying that was great, And then yeah,

01:03:19.679 --> 01:03:23.199

1282
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:24.519
