<v Speaker 2>Yo.

10
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 4>Just got back from Long Beach. I was in the

11
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 4>It's down there for the entire weekend doing a family

12
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.600
<v Speaker 4>celebratory stuff. My brother turned sixty years old, so I

13
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 4>decided to have a birthday party, which he hasn't had

14
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 4>since he was ten years old. So I went down

15
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 4>there for.

16
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 2>That Happy birthday. Rob.

17
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know Rob, yay Rob. Everybody knows Rob from

18
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 4>the Finding Bigfoot episode, I assume if you watch that

19
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 4>show at all. So yeah, yeah, I just got back

20
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 4>from that. Man, I'm beat. That's been so much going on, Bos.

21
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 4>We need to catch up, but like today, we're doing

22
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.280
<v Speaker 4>this of course for the next couple of hours. I

23
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 4>got to go to the shop after that because Darby

24
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 4>Orcutt is still in town. He is he is still

25
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 4>in town. Yeah, so I'm gonna go hang out with

26
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 4>him this afternoon, and then tomorrow, which is his last

27
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 4>full day, I'm going to take him down the Klacamus

28
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 4>to the Glenn Thomas site. So because I figured that's

29
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 4>a good Bigfoot tourism thing, so I.

30
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 2>WoT shoot up there for that.

31
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>You're mentioned of hanging out with your brother. Gave me

32
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 1>an idea. So those of our main listeners who are

33
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 1>also members know that we've done two episodes with our

34
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>significant others where they answer questions. Maybe we should do

35
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>a significant brother's episode where we get Rob and like

36
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>two forty on to tell stories about both of your childhoods.

37
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I could do that.

38
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure robid do that.

39
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Oh, they just they're just gonna rip me to shreds.

40
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>They'll showed no mercedale. Those fully just roast me. Is

41
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>like like have a handle on here or something.

42
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I think our membership just went up like one hundred

43
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 1>percent now that you've said that, because people will want

44
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.799
<v Speaker 1>to hear it. I want to hear it.

45
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 4>Well, I can't think of anything more embarrassing than what

46
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 4>I actually am at this very moment, So I don't

47
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 4>see what the harm would be well, we have a

48
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 4>Q and A today. I guess we can do more

49
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 4>catchup stuff because there's so much stuff going on, everything

50
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 4>from beach Foot to lost artifacts, to woods stuff going

51
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 4>on and to Darby at Like, there's so much going on.

52
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 4>I guess we'll do a big catchup during the member

53
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 4>episode because there's some really really neat things have been happening.

54
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 4>So if you're not a member and you want to

55
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 4>be a member, it might be worth it. It's five

56
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 4>bucks a month, you get an extra episode every single week,

57
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 4>and you also get this very episode that you're listening

58
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 4>to right now, completely ad free. Maybe you want to

59
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 4>do that, And if you do want to do that,

60
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 4>you can click that link that Matt Preud has surely

61
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 4>put in the show notes below and might be worth

62
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 4>your time. And also you get other cool things like

63
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 4>you get more prude on the members. Yeah, you get

64
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 4>more prude and that's not a bad thing and all

65
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 4>everybody could use a little bit more prude in their life.

66
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 4>But besides the extra episode, and besides being totally ad free,

67
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 4>and besides all the fruit you can eat, you we

68
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 4>also have a lot of photographs and stuff and videos

69
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 4>that we share over on the on that side, on

70
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 4>the special website, on the Patreon, maybe you want to

71
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 4>do it five bucks a month. That's a beer without

72
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 4>a tip. This is the way I see it, and

73
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 4>everybody tips, so it's actually cheaper than going out and

74
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 4>getting one beer, and you get four extra episodes a

75
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 4>month or I remember any weeks there are. It's a

76
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 4>good deal. I mean, it's such a good deal that

77
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 4>Bobo is a member of our podcast twice. Yeah, twice twice, right,

78
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 4>he was November twice. He's signed up twice. Well, anyway,

79
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 4>it's a Q and A episode today, so we're just

80
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 4>going to jump right into that. And I think we'll

81
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 4>start with the voicemails, because if you have a question

82
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 4>and you want to ask us, you can email us

83
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 4>or Matt bet you're the one who deals with the

84
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 4>backside of this, you tell them what they can do

85
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 4>if they want to ask.

86
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Us a question. Yep.

87
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 1>There's a link in the show notes of every one

88
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 1>of these Q and A episodes that goes to the

89
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 1>contact form at our website, and so you have two

90
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 1>options there. You can click to leave us a voicemail

91
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>or you can send written submission. And so we always

92
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>prioritize the voicemails because it's really fun to hear listeners'

93
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>voices and answer questions that way, so we usually prefer those.

94
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 1>So your odds are better of getting your question answered

95
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 1>if you submit a voicemail.

96
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 4>All right, let's jump onto the first voicemail.

97
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Then, Hey, Cliff, Bob, Will Matt.

98
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.399
<v Speaker 3>This is Quinn. I'm eighteen from Louisville, Kentucky, and I

99
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 3>was calling in because I've been interested in Bigfoot my

100
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 3>whole life. I saw when I was a little boy,

101
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 3>but I've only recently been able to start getting out

102
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 3>into the field and really doing my own research and stuff.

103
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 3>And I was just wondering what advice you'd have for

104
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 3>young people getting into the field for the first time,

105
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 3>and what mistakes you would want people getting into the

106
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 3>field for the first time to avoid.

107
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you and keep it squatchy.

108
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I like this kid.

109
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 1>It's a great question.

110
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it really is, Quinn. Thank you very much for that.

111
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 4>I'll jump in and you guys can fill in the

112
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 4>blanks and things that I'll make because I'm just, you know,

113
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 4>doing a shotgun approach right now. I'm sure I'm going

114
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 4>to leave something out. Number one I'm going to say,

115
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 4>we say this all the time. Read books. Read books.

116
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 4>I was just thinking this morning, literally this morning, like you,

117
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 4>if you were a physicist or something like that, or

118
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 4>if you're a mathematician or some other scientists like that,

119
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 4>they would laugh you out of the room if you

120
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 4>had never heard of Newton. You know Newton or somebody

121
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 4>who invented calculus. Right, So if you did that for

122
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 4>a living and you didn't know who Newton was, Isaac

123
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 4>Newton was, they would laugh you out of the room

124
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 4>because you wouldn't know the foundations of the thing that

125
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 4>you profess to love and study. So books are the

126
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 4>number one thing I can recommend. Read the foundational books

127
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 4>John Green, doctor Krantz, doctor Meldrum, even though his book

128
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 4>is much more recent than say, you know John Green's books,

129
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 4>bend In Nogle Yeah, Ben and Nogle Yeah. Read books

130
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 4>as a foundation. As far as mistakes, I think one

131
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 4>of the biggest mistakes is jumping on to social media

132
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.800
<v Speaker 4>right away. And I see this all the time with

133
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 4>people who are new to the field. They jump into

134
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 4>social media, they try to gather a big crowd of

135
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 4>people and efforts of trying to get more sighting reports

136
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 4>and all that sort of stuff, and they generally form

137
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 4>a group and think that they're going to be the

138
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 4>guys to do it or the guals to do it,

139
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 4>like we're going to do this and and we're going

140
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 4>to show you the right way to do it. No no, no, no.

141
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 4>Sit in the back watch the game for a while,

142
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, sit in the back of the room, watch

143
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 4>how things are done for a couple of years, and

144
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.480
<v Speaker 4>then see what you want to do. And you know,

145
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 4>you can lay the foundations for these these plans, I

146
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 4>think pretty early on, and you can change them and

147
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 4>augment them and and just make them better as you

148
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 4>see the mistakes that are happening out in the field,

149
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 4>like the social media field. So lay low, be quiet,

150
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 4>read books, and I think that's enough for me. I'll

151
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 4>turn the table over to somebody else here, So go

152
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 4>ahead and fill in what I've missed out on.

153
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Don't listen to any other podcasts but this one. That's

154
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 2>the most important. Yeah, the foundational books. That is the

155
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>most important thing. And the second thing is do as

156
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.639
<v Speaker 2>much as much study as you can on what familiarize

157
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 2>your sound, yourself with the sounds that you're going to

158
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 2>experience where you're going hopefully live in eastern Kentucky because

159
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 2>that place is just gold. If you're anywhere near Tom Shade,

160
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 2>he's doing anything public looking up with him as much

161
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>as possible. Uh in Triple County. Up there you got

162
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 2>you got Charlie uh with Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization. That's

163
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.399
<v Speaker 2>top notch. I mean there Charlie knows where they're at.

164
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>He puts people right on top of him. He's done

165
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>that for us and hundreds of others. And listen to

166
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>YouTube clip. I mean, if you go to YouTube, don't

167
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 2>listen to some you know, like first off, most of

168
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.959
<v Speaker 2>those stories where people just read them bigfoot, those are fake.

169
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>They're you know, just autobots and stuff like that, or

170
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 2>chat GPT like listen to the like go to the

171
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 2>sound like the animal sounds. And if you if you

172
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>can get out with like experienced woods people, spend some

173
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:00.319
<v Speaker 2>time out there with them, you know, like I ask

174
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 2>some questions, you know, and get like some Tom Brown

175
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>books on tracking, practice your tracking skills and just get

176
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>out there to get out there as much as you can.

177
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 2>And and if you're only eighteenc if I can't buy

178
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 2>much equipment. But get get what you can. You know,

179
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 2>start off with a soundar you know, a recorder, an

180
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 2>auto recorder, like even like you get cheap ones for

181
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 2>fifty bucks, sixty bucks, at least you got that. So yeah,

182
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 2>just get as prepared as you can and get out there.

183
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, go go frequently. That's another thing I could add.

184
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 4>Find a spot near you that has a history of

185
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 4>siding reports and go frequently. Doesn't matter if you get

186
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 4>stuff most of the time, You're not gonna to be

187
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 4>very honest with you, but go anyway. And I guess

188
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 4>that that actually reminds me of my number one piece

189
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.679
<v Speaker 4>of advice, more than most important thing of all, honestly,

190
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 4>in my opinion, Go because you enjoy it. That's it,

191
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, do this because you like it, You're interested,

192
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:57.159
<v Speaker 4>you're curious, whatever whatever drives you, you know, But but

193
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.399
<v Speaker 4>do it for some sort of self fulfilling thing where

194
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 4>you can go bigfooting for two months and have absolutely

195
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 4>no indication that the animals are nearby, and you'll still

196
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 4>feel good about it, Like, you'll still feel like you

197
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.120
<v Speaker 4>got a lot out of it. Best advice ever is

198
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.879
<v Speaker 4>do bigfoot stuff because you love it. Yeah, and you'll

199
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 4>never be disappointed.

200
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 1>I agree with everything both of you guys said. I

201
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>think one of the most important things that you can

202
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 1>do before you even leave the house, Quinn, is to

203
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>clearly and precisely define your goals and your expectations. If

204
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 1>you're just trying to learn and have experiences, more power

205
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>to you, because then you get to be the arbiter

206
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>of what determines the quality or the value of those experiences.

207
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>But if you want to try to gather evidence that

208
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.759
<v Speaker 1>would sway other people, that's a very difficult endeavor because

209
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 1>now you're at the whim of what other people's values

210
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 1>are and what they determined to be valuable or qualitative evidence.

211
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>And then if you want to contribute to the subject

212
00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 1>as a whole and try to prove to the world

213
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>that these things exis, it's a very hard road. And

214
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>so it's really helpful to define all of that upfront

215
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and know that that's going to dictate a lot of

216
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>your next steps. It's like, what is it that you

217
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.879
<v Speaker 1>hope to achieve, What are your goals and expectations, and

218
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.480
<v Speaker 1>then conduct yourself according to those rules. So best of

219
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>luck to you, and please keep submitting questions. We're always

220
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>here for that. But yeah, read those foundational books that'll

221
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>help a lot.

222
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.320
<v Speaker 4>There you go, maybe go go to the next question.

223
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.039
<v Speaker 5>Howdy from Texas. Harry Kyle here. First, I'd like to say,

224
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 5>huge fan. I'm still watching all your episodes of Finding

225
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 5>Bigfoot on Pluto. Keep up the good work, and I

226
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 5>wish you'd come back with a new show. Anyway, I

227
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.960
<v Speaker 5>just came back from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation when

228
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.159
<v Speaker 5>y'all were up there, visited scenic when you guys showed

229
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 5>a little barn next to the bar with all the skulls.

230
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.039
<v Speaker 5>That barn used to belong to my grandfather. Anyhow, I'd

231
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 5>like to know what is your favorite piece of evidence

232
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:01.919
<v Speaker 5>from Finding Bigfoot. Keep up the good work. Thank you

233
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 5>very much for everything that you've done, and looking forward

234
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 5>to hearing your answers.

235
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 4>Thank you from Finding Bigfoot. That's a tough one.

236
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess the second think it was those tracks you

237
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 2>cast Cliff that Tyler found.

238
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, yeah in Georgia. Yeah, that was those were

239
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 4>super interesting.

240
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Well he might have meant like any evidence that you

241
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.519
<v Speaker 1>encounter you investigated on the show.

242
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's how I interpreted it. Actually have anything that

243
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 4>like we came across you know, because we didn't collect

244
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.080
<v Speaker 4>a ton of and we got some good recordings and

245
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 4>stuff in those footprints, but we didn't collect a ton

246
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 4>of stuff on Finny Bigfoot, but we were sure exposed

247
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.519
<v Speaker 4>to a lot of it. I was very impressed with

248
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.639
<v Speaker 4>the handprint on the inside of the door in Florida. Yeah,

249
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.639
<v Speaker 4>I thought that was pretty cool. And they didn't really

250
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 4>show my work on it, but the hand was very large,

251
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 4>and I think it was a sasquash handprint because you know,

252
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 4>one of the things that I got to do, because

253
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 4>they know that I was so gung ho on it,

254
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 4>is when I was done at the interviews, they had

255
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 4>turned me loose. I can go take measurements and stuff

256
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.559
<v Speaker 4>of the various things that we encounter because television is

257
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 4>shallow and superficial, even our show, so they wouldn't put

258
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 4>that stuff on the air, but they'd let me go

259
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.320
<v Speaker 4>do it for, you know, for my own research purposes.

260
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.559
<v Speaker 4>So that handprint, I remember, I've got a pretty good

261
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 4>drawing of it with a lot of measurements. I was

262
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.000
<v Speaker 4>pretty impressed with that one. I thought that was cool.

263
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 4>I like some of the stuff that we didn't know

264
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 4>existed that made it to the air. Like the Duhon

265
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.120
<v Speaker 4>photograph from Louisiana that I always liked that picture.

266
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh the shooting house.

267
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the shooting house right is standing next to that.

268
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

269
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 4>I've got to write up with that on the Cliffberrickman

270
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:31.799
<v Speaker 4>dot com if you want to go read about that

271
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.559
<v Speaker 4>or even that Ian that that the young man Ian

272
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 4>Gill who shot that picture while the thing crossed the

273
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 4>road in Vermont. I think it was in our Whitehall

274
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.200
<v Speaker 4>episode and everybody kind of said, nah, he's just a

275
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.000
<v Speaker 4>kid man, don't for it, because he was sixteen or

276
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:45.919
<v Speaker 4>something when they already thought he was a hoax serb.

277
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:47.360
<v Speaker 4>And he said, well, he's got a picture, it's gonna

278
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 4>be good TV. Let's do an investigation. It turns out that,

279
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, whatever that thing is, whether it's a guy

280
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 4>in a gilly suit or a sasquatch, it is seven

281
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:57.440
<v Speaker 4>feet tall. So that's pretty impressive. I thought those were

282
00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 4>pretty cool.

283
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was did I. I still thought that kid

284
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.080
<v Speaker 2>was full of it. I was like, you're wasting your

285
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.200
<v Speaker 2>time clip. I was wrong about that one because everyone

286
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>said so globle, Like I'm not gooble. I don't believe

287
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:10.600
<v Speaker 2>this VS or this kid. Yeah.

288
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 4>See I didn't know what to think. I mean I didn't.

289
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.519
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't tell if he was lying or not. And

290
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 4>I figured, well, at the very least, we're doing a

291
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.600
<v Speaker 4>TV show and it's a visual thing he has. It

292
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.879
<v Speaker 4>would be good for screen if nothing else. And if

293
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's a big foot, I'll just tell

294
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.639
<v Speaker 4>him that. And that's also good TV because I know

295
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 4>that a lot of a lot of people who watched

296
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 4>the show or any of the shows love it when

297
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.679
<v Speaker 4>people kind of shoot things down and say, ah, you're

298
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.639
<v Speaker 4>you're bs ing or you're lying, or that you're mistaken

299
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.559
<v Speaker 4>or whatever. They like it when people don't believe it's

300
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.279
<v Speaker 4>a big foot. So I figured it was a it

301
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 4>was a win win situation if I did that investigation

302
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.159
<v Speaker 4>and then it turns out that it might have actually

303
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 4>been a big foot. You know, I thought that was

304
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:45.799
<v Speaker 4>pretty cool. I think it's hard to beat those tracks

305
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.039
<v Speaker 4>in Georgia. Man, that was that was pretty exciting.

306
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

307
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:52.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, when Tyler pulled that those out, that was pretty cool.

308
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Tyler Buns of course found the tracks, but we had

309
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:58.399
<v Speaker 4>to play like I found them because Tyler Bounds wasn't

310
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.120
<v Speaker 4>on screen and be confusing weird for the audience to

311
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 4>have somebody that they know nothing about discover the tracks.

312
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 4>But of course that was also part of the deal

313
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 4>that we would do that on air as long as

314
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.759
<v Speaker 4>I could clarify who actually did find the tracks when

315
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:14.720
<v Speaker 4>the episode came out. That was part of the deal

316
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 4>there of us doing that because it didn't feel right

317
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 4>to us, but we also understood that we're making a

318
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.879
<v Speaker 4>TV show and that's how it's got to be. So

319
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 4>I used to release an essay about the episode every

320
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.360
<v Speaker 4>time one came out, telling the people who cared, you know,

321
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.240
<v Speaker 4>the Bigfoot community, people who followed me on my blog

322
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 4>and stuff, what actually happened during the episodes and what

323
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 4>really went down despite the editing of the television show.

324
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 4>And I thought some of those things were really interesting

325
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 4>to read. I mean, because I know there were a

326
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.360
<v Speaker 4>lot of fun to write, but telling what actually happened

327
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 4>was cool. And then of course I gave Tyler Brown's

328
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.840
<v Speaker 4>full credit for them. And in fact, I have copies

329
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 4>of those hanging up in the museum in the NABC

330
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 4>and with pictures of Tyler Bowns right there next to

331
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 4>them with Renee and and stuff.

332
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.799
<v Speaker 1>And that was totally a happy accident. Because where the

333
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.759
<v Speaker 1>original tracks were found roughly a month earlier. I think

334
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it was between two and three weeks earlier. Those were

335
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>found in January of twenty eleven, and we filmed in

336
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>February of twenty eleven. You know, you would park at

337
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a trailhead and walk up a pretty lengthy trail, and

338
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.039
<v Speaker 1>then Jeff, the witness, who is the husband of a

339
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.960
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine that I've known since elementary school, he said, well,

340
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.559
<v Speaker 1>I know a place where we can park that's a

341
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.600
<v Speaker 1>lot closer. We just have to bushwhack a little bit,

342
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>but I can take you right to where the tracks

343
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.559
<v Speaker 1>were and save a lot of time in hiking. And

344
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:36.879
<v Speaker 1>so we intersected the trail from a totally different area.

345
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.399
<v Speaker 1>And then the other happy accident is that Tyler then

346
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>went in the other direction off trail, you know, down

347
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the trail, and located these tracks that Jeff hadn't even

348
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>seen and didn't know they were there. And so if

349
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>it weren't for those two, if we just parked and

350
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.600
<v Speaker 1>walked in the way Jeff did when he first found

351
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the tracks, we never would have found those other ones.

352
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.440
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of serendipity.

353
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, while bushwhacking, we got knocks. We got knocks that

354
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.039
<v Speaker 4>day while we were going in there. It was very,

355
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.559
<v Speaker 4>very impressive. It was pretty clear that they were still

356
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 4>hanging around that area. So stay tuned for more Bigfoot

357
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.799
<v Speaker 4>and Beyond with Cliff and Bogo. Will be right back

358
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:23.320
<v Speaker 4>after these messages. You know, Bobes, squatching season is in

386
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>barn that he mentioned there on Pine Ridge with the

387
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:04.920
<v Speaker 1>skulls on it?

388
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Which leads is my question to you. Did your

389
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.079
<v Speaker 2>grappa hear any stories? Did you ever? I don't know

390
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.079
<v Speaker 2>if you if you got to know him well or

391
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:13.759
<v Speaker 2>spent much time with them, but did you ever mentually

392
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.599
<v Speaker 2>think about something Sasquash related that he heard in the bar?

393
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.160
<v Speaker 4>Sasquatches don't drink in bars.

394
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're right, clif they're breaking us stills and drink

395
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a sour mash.

396
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 4>Just a joke. Well, all right, well what do we

397
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:29.799
<v Speaker 4>hop onto the next question?

398
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.039
<v Speaker 6>Well, hello, Cliff Obo and Matt Love the program been

399
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:37.720
<v Speaker 6>listening for over a year now. A few years ago,

400
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 6>as I was really getting into the online presence in

401
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.319
<v Speaker 6>the world of Bigfoot and Sasquatch research, came across the

402
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 6>what may just be a story the cow Man of

403
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:53.400
<v Speaker 6>Copaliss Beach up there in northwest Washington, I believe, on

404
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:57.440
<v Speaker 6>the Pacific Coast. I've never seen any analysis of that

405
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.319
<v Speaker 6>or any corroboration if it is anything more than just

406
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 6>a well written story, or do people in that part

407
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:07.680
<v Speaker 6>of the world up there in the northwest considered it

408
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.440
<v Speaker 6>to be a true account. And while it seems like

409
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.680
<v Speaker 6>a very well written and very detailed account, there are

410
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 6>aspects to it that make me wonder is it just

411
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:20.039
<v Speaker 6>a well crafted story? So I wanted to put that

412
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 6>out to you guys to see what your thoughts were

413
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:22.960
<v Speaker 6>on that topic.

414
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 4>Again, cow Man of Copela's Beach, Thanks.

415
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.640
<v Speaker 1>This is Rob in Cleveland, Ohio. I have a vague

416
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 1>memory of someone on the original Bigfoot forums many years

417
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:39.680
<v Speaker 1>ago claiming that it was fictional and that they were

418
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:42.759
<v Speaker 1>the author. Now some of that stuff's archived, I think

419
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.480
<v Speaker 1>still a Bigfoot forums you could be a paying member

420
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.880
<v Speaker 1>and access the original archives. So I could be wrong.

421
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I might be conflating two memories. I mean, this would

422
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.039
<v Speaker 1>have been like probably twenty years ago or something like that.

423
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>But in my memory, it was attributed to a known

424
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.240
<v Speaker 1>person who took credit for it, who said, no, I

425
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>wrote this as a fictional story. It was not meant

426
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>to be presented as a true testimony. Does that sound

427
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:07.400
<v Speaker 1>familiar to either of you.

428
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.319
<v Speaker 2>I love the story.

429
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:11.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I didn't follow I knew the story, but I

430
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:13.240
<v Speaker 4>didn't follow it that closely because I didn't think there

431
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 4>was any I could do about it.

432
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been I've been to that spot where where it

433
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.640
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to take place, like several times, and I

434
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:22.920
<v Speaker 2>mean I read it. I loved it, and they've made

435
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>a great movie on it, like a docu drama that's

436
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:28.519
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember the name of that one either.

437
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I think it's called There's Something in the Woods.

438
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a great one. I think that's one of

439
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the best. You know, I always forget to mention that

440
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 2>when people ask what's some of my favorite big Foot movies.

441
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.799
<v Speaker 2>That's one of them for sure.

442
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:39.759
<v Speaker 1>That one set in tech. I mean it's the same story,

443
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:41.599
<v Speaker 1>but I think they said it in Texas instead of

444
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:42.319
<v Speaker 1>the Northwest.

445
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:45.279
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I'm talking about the one that's Couple of Speech.

446
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh, because there is a movie that's set in Texas

447
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:51.640
<v Speaker 1>that Mike Hall, the researcher who's also an actor, was

448
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:53.839
<v Speaker 1>in and it's based on that story. But I think

449
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 1>they said it in East Texas.

450
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Well, I think the gist of the answer right

451
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:00.079
<v Speaker 4>here is we don't know.

452
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.119
<v Speaker 1>Maybe, yeah, I could totally be wrong or misremembering about

453
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:09.079
<v Speaker 1>a different story, But as I remember it, someone came

454
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 1>on that forum claiming to be the author of that story,

455
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:14.759
<v Speaker 1>saying that it was fiction and that it was never

456
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.079
<v Speaker 1>meant to be presented as nonfiction.

457
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:20.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, certainly one of our listeners is probably a paying

458
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:22.000
<v Speaker 4>member of Bigfoot Forums. I mean, maybe they can go

459
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:23.119
<v Speaker 4>check it out for us.

460
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, go search the BFF one point zero archives.

461
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, I wish we could be more assistance there,

462
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Rob from Cleveland.

463
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Whoever wrote it, though, if it was fiction, they certainly

464
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.720
<v Speaker 2>knew about Bigfoot. They were well versed in the subject.

465
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's been many years since I've read it. It's

466
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:41.440
<v Speaker 1>probably still online somewhere.

467
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:42.519
<v Speaker 2>It is.

468
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:44.799
<v Speaker 4>People asked me about it once in a while when

469
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.000
<v Speaker 4>I saw Kalman, I was hoping it'd be about a minotaur.

470
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:50.119
<v Speaker 4>All right, we should we go to the next question.

471
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Yep I bubblo.

472
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 7>Matt, this is a longtime listener hiding here in the

473
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.720
<v Speaker 7>concrete jungle of Irvine, California, calling to see if you

474
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:05.160
<v Speaker 7>will ever turn on the cameras and kind of move

475
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:09.759
<v Speaker 7>from podcasts for a more visual platform for all of

476
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 7>your listeners. I think it would be a lot of fun,

477
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.279
<v Speaker 7>especially to just let Bobo have free reign of what's

478
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.240
<v Speaker 7>going on around in and what he's doing, and it

479
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.000
<v Speaker 7>could be highly entertaining and you know, continue to be

480
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.079
<v Speaker 7>highly educational. So thanks for all you guys do. I

481
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.000
<v Speaker 7>never in a million years that I would be into sasquatch.

482
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.640
<v Speaker 7>I'm learning so much and so grateful to you. And

483
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:34.000
<v Speaker 7>keep it squatchy.

484
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Thanks for the kind words, Tidy, appreciate that I do like.

485
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:42.000
<v Speaker 4>I have considered that suggestion mostly during football season, so

486
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:45.119
<v Speaker 4>Matt and I can see if Bobo is watching a

487
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.680
<v Speaker 4>football game or actually participating in the podcast fall well.

488
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.000
<v Speaker 4>I have considered that just to keep tabs on Bobo

489
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:54.200
<v Speaker 4>and make sure that he's engaged. But other than that,

490
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.319
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I think we all we've got faces

491
00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 4>for radio.

492
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Dude, she said educational.

493
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Heidi's a great member of ours. She's a pigeon, always

494
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:06.680
<v Speaker 1>submits great questions and thoughtful comments. You know, one of

495
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the benefits for all the listeners out there is that

496
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:12.200
<v Speaker 1>we can kind of treat this the way that you

497
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>would film television, in that you know, if a guest

498
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 1>is saying something and then they decide, oh, man, can

499
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I start over, It's like, yeah, sure, go ahead and

500
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:24.240
<v Speaker 1>start over. Or if they mention a location, they're like,

501
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'd rather people not know about that?

502
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Can I say that again? And omit the name of

503
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 1>the town or the creek or the mountain. So there's

504
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of flexibility that I have as an editor

505
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.559
<v Speaker 1>that because it's audio only, you can't tell where it's edited,

506
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:40.799
<v Speaker 1>Versus if we were on camera, we would either have

507
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to take away that flexibility from people or you would

508
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:45.680
<v Speaker 1>be seeing jump cuts all the time. I mean, some

509
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.640
<v Speaker 1>of these episodes have you know, depending on the guests

510
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 1>and whatever technical issues come up. We've had episodes that

511
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>have fifteen hundred to two thousand edits in them, and

512
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:57.880
<v Speaker 1>so you would be distracted by all of the jump

513
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 1>cuts on camera that you would see, because otherwise we'd

514
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.440
<v Speaker 1>be sitting in chairs, you know, looking at the camera,

515
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.920
<v Speaker 1>looking at our computers or webcams or whatever, and those

516
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.799
<v Speaker 1>things would be distracting. For sure. You'd be wondering why

517
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:12.759
<v Speaker 1>did that cut, wonder what was there? Versus the audio

518
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:15.680
<v Speaker 1>world that doesn't happen. And we do that so that

519
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:19.400
<v Speaker 1>there is no pressure, there's no red light fever. People

520
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:23.400
<v Speaker 1>don't have to worry about executing everything perfectly like you

521
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>do on radio or a live broadcast or something like that,

522
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and son on camera thing as possible. It would just

523
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>require us to, you know, lose a lot of the

524
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:34.599
<v Speaker 1>freedom that we have to make as many mistakes as

525
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.000
<v Speaker 1>we do.

526
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and if I can't make mistakes, I'm probably not

527
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.640
<v Speaker 4>interested in doing it, because I mostly make mistakes.

528
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:43.400
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of the editing isn't just to you know,

529
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:47.160
<v Speaker 1>allow for mistakes, but it's also just to curate all

530
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.480
<v Speaker 1>of the best moments for the listener, you know, because

531
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:53.200
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we do get off topic or do something funny

532
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and then when I'm listening back to it. I'm like,

533
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, some like eighty percent of that was funny,

534
00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and so I'll keep that eighty percent. The other twenty

535
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.079
<v Speaker 1>percent is really not necessary. It's sort of too tangential

536
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:05.200
<v Speaker 1>or gets too far off the beaten track, And so

537
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:08.079
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of flexibility you get that just being

538
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.960
<v Speaker 1>on camera wouldn't give you unless you're hoping that people

539
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.079
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be distracted by the amount of edits that they see. Also,

540
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to think if we were all in person, it would

541
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.160
<v Speaker 1>be different. You It'd be easy to just turn on

542
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 1>a camera and let it roll. But when you have

543
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:24.799
<v Speaker 1>people online and there's like lags and delays or latency

544
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.440
<v Speaker 1>where one person is hearing all of us two seconds later,

545
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:31.039
<v Speaker 1>then the rest of us are hearing each other, and

546
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.640
<v Speaker 1>so there's a lot of false starts and stops and interruptions.

547
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of editing takes care of that. So an

548
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:39.759
<v Speaker 1>on camera thing it would just be I don't think

549
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the finished product would be great unless it was just

550
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.759
<v Speaker 1>either so full of mistakes and errors, which I do

551
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.119
<v Speaker 1>see in a whole lot of those live stream things

552
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.039
<v Speaker 1>due to the technical issues. I think this is just

553
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a more consumable thing, and with podcasts, Like most of

554
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:56.920
<v Speaker 1>our listeners tell me like you make my commute better,

555
00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 1>or I listen to you when I work out or

556
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:02.000
<v Speaker 1>mow the grass, or him out walking or jogging or

557
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 1>picking up the kids from school. And so they're all

558
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:08.279
<v Speaker 1>spending their time with us when they're not sitting down

559
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 1>looking at a screen. So we're occupying people's you know

560
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:15.960
<v Speaker 1>what they call found time, all this additional time that

561
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:19.960
<v Speaker 1>someone has to listen and learn without saying, Okay, well

562
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>my show was on, I've got to sit down and

563
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:24.160
<v Speaker 1>stare at a screen for an hour. So I think

564
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.039
<v Speaker 1>this format works really well for that reason.

565
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think that the consumer, the listeners here are

566
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:32.680
<v Speaker 4>getting a way better product in general, for sure, yeah,

567
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 4>than a screen thing. And I know Matt is so

568
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:40.319
<v Speaker 4>intensely focused on giving the listeners the best experience possible.

569
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:42.119
<v Speaker 4>And he really I say it all the time. He

570
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:44.079
<v Speaker 4>knows how to polish a turd man. A lot of time,

571
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:45.759
<v Speaker 4>we just give them turds and he comes out with

572
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 4>gold bricks.

573
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:48.319
<v Speaker 2>He's an alchemist.

574
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's an alchemist, absolutely turning crap to gold. If

575
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.279
<v Speaker 4>you saw the actual raw product that he has to

576
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:58.759
<v Speaker 4>deal with, you know, it's not every single week. We

577
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:01.599
<v Speaker 4>give them garbage. But every once in a while we're thinking,

578
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:03.599
<v Speaker 4>oh gosh, Matt's gonna have a tough time with this one,

579
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:05.519
<v Speaker 4>and he does it again and again and again, just

580
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 4>pumps out amazing product for you guys. I think that

581
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 4>would be something solely, sorely missing if we went to

582
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.359
<v Speaker 4>a you know, a visual product as well.

583
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Very kind of yeah, I think for the most part,

584
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:19.160
<v Speaker 1>it's very kind of you.

585
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 2>You know.

586
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I think for the most part, we do it for

587
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the benefit of the guest, you know, because some guests

588
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 1>do want to collect their thoughts, and so there will

589
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:28.960
<v Speaker 1>be long pauses between the end of our question and

590
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of their answer, and so, you know, I

591
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.160
<v Speaker 1>remove those long pauses just so listeners don't think, like,

592
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:36.519
<v Speaker 1>oh did my app freeze or something like that. Just

593
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:38.119
<v Speaker 1>makes the listening experience better.

594
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't listen to an edited podcast. I don't listen

595
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:43.240
<v Speaker 2>to live stuff too much. I mean, there's some I

596
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 2>will like, maybe this is a comedians or something, but yeah,

597
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:48.440
<v Speaker 2>stuff is terrible, I think.

598
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, especially when it's over the internet, when it's streamed

599
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.720
<v Speaker 1>between participants. It's different when everyone's in a room together,

600
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.599
<v Speaker 1>because it's just a different vibe, and everything's in real

601
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 1>time and people are wanting to like body language and

602
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:04.960
<v Speaker 1>facial expressions versus just when it's streamed, it can be

603
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.519
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different. The other big thing with Patreon

604
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:09.920
<v Speaker 1>now they do have a live feature where you can

605
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:13.119
<v Speaker 1>go live on camera, and so I'm trying to see

606
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>how that feature works now, Like if it would be

607
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.160
<v Speaker 1>possible to go live with the two of you guys,

608
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe we could do that every once in a blue moon,

609
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:22.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, and just answer questions from the chat or

610
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:24.519
<v Speaker 1>something like that. So even if we did that, it

611
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:27.599
<v Speaker 1>would still be the rare occasion because once you do that,

612
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:29.680
<v Speaker 1>like I guess, you could download it and edit it

613
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and then re upload it. But it would just be

614
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:33.559
<v Speaker 1>easier to not have to do it that way. So

615
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I think the audio format it's just better for everyone involved,

616
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.480
<v Speaker 1>everyone behind the mics and everyone in the listenership.

617
00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:42.559
<v Speaker 4>I think, well, it's certainly better for us on this

618
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 4>side of the mic.

619
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the camera is that's work. I hate doing the

620
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:50.319
<v Speaker 2>count and you gotta sit like right in front of

621
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:52.759
<v Speaker 2>the don't. I just don't. It's just I hate it.

622
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:55.640
<v Speaker 1>But Heidi, thanks so much for the question. She's a

623
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>great member, like I said, always submits interesting questions and

624
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>thoughtful comments there. So maybe one of these days will

625
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.079
<v Speaker 1>do some sort of a live stream thing. But we'll

626
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>see cou cou coo.

627
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:13.759
<v Speaker 4>Honey, stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff

628
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:16.160
<v Speaker 4>and Bobo. We'll be right back after these messages.

629
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.279
<v Speaker 1>And here is the last of the voicemails, and then

630
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:26.559
<v Speaker 1>we'll go onto the written questions.

631
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:30.200
<v Speaker 8>Hey, Cliff and Bobo, my name is Troy and I

632
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.160
<v Speaker 8>live in Iowa. Shout out to the Yellow River Forest,

633
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.279
<v Speaker 8>where I know you guys have had some squatchy experiences.

634
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:39.319
<v Speaker 8>I'm coming out to Oregon in mid August and I

635
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:42.279
<v Speaker 8>bringing my daughter to see the museum. Cliff, I have

636
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:46.279
<v Speaker 8>been to Lord Coleman's museum in Portland, Maine, and now

637
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:48.640
<v Speaker 8>I get to come to your museum in Portland, Oregon.

638
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm super stoked about it.

639
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.680
<v Speaker 8>I'm wondering what are my chances of seeing you.

640
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:55.839
<v Speaker 2>There, or Bobo or Matt.

641
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:57.880
<v Speaker 4>I think it would be really cool to meet you.

642
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Guys and serve my own experiences that your brains on yours.

643
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:04.160
<v Speaker 2>You guys are so good at what you do.

644
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.880
<v Speaker 8>I'm a high school custodian and I listen to every

645
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:10.759
<v Speaker 8>episode and it really helps me get through my days

646
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:11.880
<v Speaker 8>and nights here at work.

647
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:16.799
<v Speaker 2>I super appreciate you. Thanks a lot. Heres cool Troy.

648
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:21.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, coming out in mid August, I'll be around. I've

649
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:24.200
<v Speaker 4>got to go to Where am I going. I'm going

650
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:28.440
<v Speaker 4>to Ohio to the Hawking Hills Bigfoot Festival the weekend

651
00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:30.440
<v Speaker 4>of I think it's the ninth or something like that.

652
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:32.920
<v Speaker 4>I'd have to check the dates, but I believe it's

653
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:36.799
<v Speaker 4>that weekend, and I'll be visiting family as well, so

654
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:40.599
<v Speaker 4>I'll be back in town on the thirteenth or fourteenth

655
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:43.480
<v Speaker 4>somewhere there, and generally speaking, when I'm out of there.

656
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 4>When I am in town, I don't cover hours at

657
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.279
<v Speaker 4>the museum anymore. I do sometimes if somebody's sick, or

658
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:51.319
<v Speaker 4>somebody's on vacation or something. I'm happy to do that.

659
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:53.079
<v Speaker 4>I love working at my shop, don't get me wrong.

660
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.039
<v Speaker 4>But I'm not required to be there like you know,

661
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:58.279
<v Speaker 4>ten to five like I used to be. I've got

662
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:01.599
<v Speaker 4>employees for that now. But despite the fact that I

663
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:04.160
<v Speaker 4>don't cover hours, I'm not required to be there at

664
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:07.519
<v Speaker 4>certain times. I am there kind of a lot. I

665
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:12.880
<v Speaker 4>am there probably on average three to six days a week.

666
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:15.839
<v Speaker 4>But it's not like I'm there for eight hours a

667
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.279
<v Speaker 4>day or something. It's usually I'm there for two hours

668
00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:21.000
<v Speaker 4>or three hours. Even if I go in I just

669
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.160
<v Speaker 4>got to drop by and drop something off, I end

670
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:24.960
<v Speaker 4>up staying there for like an hour, hour and a

671
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:28.079
<v Speaker 4>half oftentimes because there's always stuff to talk about and do,

672
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:30.720
<v Speaker 4>and I see, you know, people catch me and they

673
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.160
<v Speaker 4>want to talk to me for a few minutes, or

674
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Keith and I are talking about a new display we're

675
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:37.440
<v Speaker 4>trying to build, or Niko and I are trying you know,

676
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:39.680
<v Speaker 4>there's a million things going on the shop. So when

677
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:41.799
<v Speaker 4>I drop by, even for a few minutes, it seems

678
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.759
<v Speaker 4>that I stay for a couple hours. So depends on

679
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:47.319
<v Speaker 4>when you show up, I guess. I will say that

680
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 4>the time I usually show up is usually between eleven

681
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:57.079
<v Speaker 4>and two or something like that, Like today, right now,

682
00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:59.880
<v Speaker 4>it is eleven twenty on July fifteenth, and after we

683
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:02.359
<v Speaker 4>do this podcast, I have to go into the shop.

684
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:04.920
<v Speaker 4>I have to go in, and I will be there

685
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:09.160
<v Speaker 4>probably for about three hours today. So that that's kind

686
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 4>of what my schedule's like, erratic and unpredictable. So what

687
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:16.440
<v Speaker 4>are the chances I don't know, man, get a percentile dice,

688
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:18.160
<v Speaker 4>roll it, see what happens. Just come to the shop.

689
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna dig it anyway, whether I'm there or not.

690
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.400
<v Speaker 4>So and he did ask what about the Bobes.

691
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I get it in there. I mean I stopped at

692
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:27.720
<v Speaker 2>whenever I'm up there. I don't get into much. Couple

693
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.240
<v Speaker 2>a couple of times a year. Yeah, so probably pretty

694
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.079
<v Speaker 2>slim with Bobo. And you're not planning it them coming

695
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:34.039
<v Speaker 2>up in August, you're gonna be You're gonna be nesting

696
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 2>in your in your new digs up in Blue Lake. Yeah,

697
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I am taking a trip. Jamie Jay's coming down in

698
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:43.440
<v Speaker 2>uh August and we're going out for a week.

699
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh nice, the usual usual place.

700
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Or no, I don't know where we're gonna go. We're

701
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:51.640
<v Speaker 2>still playing it by ear. I was thinking about going

702
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:54.240
<v Speaker 2>down and hooking up with money Maker at his ORBS

703
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:56.160
<v Speaker 2>spot where they have all those squatch action. But they've

704
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:59.079
<v Speaker 2>also been seeing Orbs. I was thinking about that, or

705
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:01.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean I love going up to

706
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.079
<v Speaker 2>the Living Peninsula. I mean, he's up in Washington, so

707
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I might go up that way. But he wants to

708
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:07.599
<v Speaker 2>take a road trip with the Sun coop. They want

709
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:09.119
<v Speaker 2>to take a road trip, so they want to come down.

710
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:13.680
<v Speaker 2>They want to come down northern California, so playfy. I mean, dude,

711
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:16.519
<v Speaker 2>the fires are just kicking off the last couple of days.

712
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:19.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's been, it's smoky, and it's starting, so

713
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll see how the fire I mean as usual when

714
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.039
<v Speaker 2>August September right here on the West Coast, I mean

715
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.920
<v Speaker 2>you're planning or squashing around avoiding fires and thick smoke.

716
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:30.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the fire season again

717
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:32.079
<v Speaker 4>this year. We're in a drought situation right now.

718
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we do get questions along that those lines pretty often,

719
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, people wanting to visit the NABC and wondering

720
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.359
<v Speaker 1>what chances are I've seeing you there. So I thought

721
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it'd be a good voicemail to include and uh, and

722
00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Troy made the point for me, like he said, you know,

723
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.599
<v Speaker 1>he listens to us to get through the days and

724
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:49.599
<v Speaker 1>nights at work there, So you wouldn't be able to

725
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:51.960
<v Speaker 1>do that if it required you to watch. You know,

726
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.119
<v Speaker 1>you can just pop in earbuds or headphones or something

727
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:57.480
<v Speaker 1>like that and listen on the device while you're working.

728
00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's again another example of how most

729
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:04.200
<v Speaker 1>people consume this stuff. They're not just sitting down and

730
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>solely devoting attention to it. They're listening while accomplishing other things.

731
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:10.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, we still have some time. You want to hop

732
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:12.840
<v Speaker 4>on a written question, let's do it.

733
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:17.320
<v Speaker 1>So here's a familiar name and a Finding Bigfoot.

734
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.239
<v Speaker 2>Related question for you. Take your Cliff.

735
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:23.360
<v Speaker 4>This one is from the lovely and talented Tateronymous, who's

736
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:24.840
<v Speaker 4>going to be in the shop next week filming something

737
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:27.400
<v Speaker 4>if I remember correctly, Cliff and Bobo, did you guys

738
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:32.559
<v Speaker 4>ever get to meet the Finding Bigfoot shows opening narrator Matt?

739
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Did Mighty Maker met of Ping Pong? Oh?

740
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:37.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah, Matt met him.

741
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, He's went through the office and he goes, here's

742
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:43.360
<v Speaker 2>here's this voice you like this next week on Finding

743
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:45.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, he said they heard that voice, and he

744
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:48.280
<v Speaker 2>just goes, oh my god, that guy. They talked for

745
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:50.199
<v Speaker 2>like five or ten minutes. Yeah.

746
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:51.840
<v Speaker 4>I never got to meet him either, but yeah, Matt.

747
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:56.559
<v Speaker 4>Matt was very often he was a narrative voice as

748
00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:59.800
<v Speaker 4>well on Finding Bigfoot, And that was largely because Matt

749
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.000
<v Speaker 4>in La or in the LA area at least. He

750
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:04.880
<v Speaker 4>lives actually down in Orange County and It's a lot

751
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:07.679
<v Speaker 4>easier to have Matt come up, drive a couple hours

752
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:10.079
<v Speaker 4>and come up to the studio in you know, which

753
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:13.440
<v Speaker 4>is right off Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, than it is

754
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:16.360
<v Speaker 4>to fly Bob or or me down, you know. So

755
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:18.880
<v Speaker 4>Matt was very often the guy who did all the

756
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:21.400
<v Speaker 4>voiceover stuff for that kind of thing, so he was

757
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.159
<v Speaker 4>in the office a lot more, you know, and he

758
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:26.320
<v Speaker 4>You got to meet a lot of people that way,

759
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:27.280
<v Speaker 4>and I guess you got to meet him.

760
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Meet this guy.

761
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:29.559
<v Speaker 4>I never had a chance to meet him, but I

762
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:31.159
<v Speaker 4>would have liked to. Apparently he's a really nice guy.

763
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:33.960
<v Speaker 4>I know, Chad Hamill. I think I believe Chad Hamill

764
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:35.320
<v Speaker 4>told me that he was a really cool guy and.

765
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:36.079
<v Speaker 2>He kind of knew him.

766
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:38.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, everyone liked him, but I never had a chance

767
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:40.840
<v Speaker 4>to meet him. A good question, though, day interesting question,

768
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:43.599
<v Speaker 4>and there's the next written's emission.

769
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Mike Bell love your show. Have there been less settings

770
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:50.880
<v Speaker 2>since phones have become mini computers. I'm curious because as

771
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 2>a kid I stared out the window, and now my

772
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.199
<v Speaker 2>kids stare at their phones. I tell them all the

773
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:58.480
<v Speaker 2>time that they're missing the world outside. Thanks guys, I

774
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:01.360
<v Speaker 2>agree one hundred percent. That's how I feel about it.

775
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:04.039
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think that people are not perhaps are not

776
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:05.599
<v Speaker 4>going to the woods as much they used to, and

777
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.880
<v Speaker 4>when they are out there, they're you know, I don't

778
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.000
<v Speaker 4>know if they have their phones on them or not

779
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:10.880
<v Speaker 4>really because there's probably no reception in a lot of

780
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:11.400
<v Speaker 4>these places.

781
00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:11.599
<v Speaker 2>Man.

782
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:14.079
<v Speaker 4>But are there fewer sightings now?

783
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because remember like there used to be. I mean, dude,

784
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:19.559
<v Speaker 2>when you were a kid, Like we drove cross country

785
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:23.440
<v Speaker 2>five times from California to the East Coast and we

786
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't have anything. We had books, but we just stared

787
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.840
<v Speaker 2>out the window. My parents were pretty permissive that That's

788
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:30.719
<v Speaker 2>what was crazy. They'd let us like shoot b beguns

789
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:34.119
<v Speaker 2>off the back of the station wagon. That's permissive.

790
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:35.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh my goodness.

791
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Not at cars. I mean, we weren't allowed to

792
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:41.519
<v Speaker 2>shoot cars, but you did. No, we'd get in chart.

793
00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:43.239
<v Speaker 2>We couldn't pot them at people, but we'd shoot the

794
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:46.440
<v Speaker 2>road signs. You hear the ping, you know, go Wizen

795
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:50.239
<v Speaker 2>buy that's amazing, Yeah, dude. And I wore a head

796
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Indian like a couple of those sorts. I wore Indian

797
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:56.239
<v Speaker 2>like fake headdress, like a chiefs war bonnet looking thing.

798
00:36:56.599 --> 00:36:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I'd wear that with my little fake for Indian vest

799
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:03.280
<v Speaker 2>with a buffalo on the back like emblem. So I'd

800
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:06.199
<v Speaker 2>sit at the back of my headdress on with a

801
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:10.159
<v Speaker 2>baby gun pointed out the window, shooting at signs. But yeah,

802
00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:11.840
<v Speaker 2>we just watched. We just watched the whole time. I

803
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:14.480
<v Speaker 2>mean I remember when, like you know, cars started getting

804
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.880
<v Speaker 2>like mini vans and stuff like that started having screens

805
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:19.519
<v Speaker 2>in the headrest in front of them. The driver and

806
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:21.480
<v Speaker 2>pastors seating like kids in the back would just stare

807
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:23.679
<v Speaker 2>at the TVs like they just watched screens the whole time.

808
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:27.320
<v Speaker 2>And nowadays they're just on their phone. Because we've heard

809
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:30.079
<v Speaker 2>so many stories where people were driving, like you know,

810
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.639
<v Speaker 2>they're just staring out the window, passengers looking out the window,

811
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:34.159
<v Speaker 2>and they saw something as they drove back, Like Cliff,

812
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:34.920
<v Speaker 2>you have a setting like that.

813
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:37.679
<v Speaker 4>Potentially yeah, maybe I don't know what that was, but

814
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:38.440
<v Speaker 4>quite possibly.

815
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. But I mean, it's just it's just a fact

816
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:44.519
<v Speaker 2>people are looking at their screens, you know, digitizations distracting

817
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:46.559
<v Speaker 2>people from looking for squatches when driving.

818
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:48.480
<v Speaker 4>It's distracting people from life.

819
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

820
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, life isn't on a screen, man, it's outside. That's

821
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:54.599
<v Speaker 4>one of the great things about bigfoot in general. So

822
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:56.880
<v Speaker 4>you go out looking for sasquatches, you're probably not on

823
00:37:56.960 --> 00:38:01.280
<v Speaker 4>the screen very much, probably actually participating in existence, which

824
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:03.800
<v Speaker 4>is kind of a rarer and rarer thing. But you

825
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:05.280
<v Speaker 4>know the other side of that, there might, there might,

826
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.800
<v Speaker 4>there may be, and I don't know this. You seem

827
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:11.159
<v Speaker 4>pretty strongly opinion that there are fewer sightings, and that

828
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:14.280
<v Speaker 4>might be true, But certainly the opposite side of that

829
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:18.400
<v Speaker 4>is that whatever sightings are shared more widely. Yeah, yeah,

830
00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:20.519
<v Speaker 4>it might, it might kind of counterbalance in that sort

831
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:20.960
<v Speaker 4>of way.

832
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:26.360
<v Speaker 1>And whatever misidentifications or misinterpretations there are are also shared

833
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:26.960
<v Speaker 1>more widely.

834
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:28.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, that's for sure.

835
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:30.519
<v Speaker 1>But I did think it was a good question and

836
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:32.559
<v Speaker 1>a good observation because I was the same way, like

837
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:34.199
<v Speaker 1>I would stare out the window as a kid driving

838
00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:36.719
<v Speaker 1>around the Northwardgia Mountains, you know, riding in the vackseat,

839
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:40.000
<v Speaker 1>and saw a lot of wildlife that way. And so

840
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:43.599
<v Speaker 1>I think Mike's question is appropriate for sure, or his

841
00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:49.360
<v Speaker 1>question and observation agreed. Alrighty, So there's the next written question.

842
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:53.400
<v Speaker 4>For you, and it comes from Mark Netzer. Does anyone

843
00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:56.840
<v Speaker 4>have a theory about why some bigfoot stink to high

844
00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:59.719
<v Speaker 4>heaven and others have no sense. I am thinking about

845
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:03.159
<v Speaker 4>el encounter in the camp at Ape Canyon. Apparently neither

846
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:05.559
<v Speaker 4>he nor the members of the group smelled anything in

847
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.800
<v Speaker 4>the camp that night. There are other instances of close

848
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:13.480
<v Speaker 4>sightings with no odor discust on the podcast Thank you

849
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:17.800
<v Speaker 4>for any information on this subject. There's a couple possible

850
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:21.960
<v Speaker 4>explanations for it. I think I am personally an advocate

851
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:25.159
<v Speaker 4>of them having a scent gland in their armpits, just

852
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 4>like gorillas do. This is a known thing in other

853
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:31.519
<v Speaker 4>eight species, so I think it's very reasonable to think

854
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:35.280
<v Speaker 4>that sasquatches may have the same feature. Don't know, and

855
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:38.280
<v Speaker 4>of course gorillas. Diane Fossy would comment that she could

856
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.639
<v Speaker 4>tell when the silverback was round because she could smell

857
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:44.079
<v Speaker 4>it before she could see it oftentimes. And a recent

858
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:46.840
<v Speaker 4>study and I say recent because in my mind most

859
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:48.480
<v Speaker 4>things are recent because I'm an old man, but I

860
00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:50.119
<v Speaker 4>think it was probably about five or eight years ago

861
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:54.599
<v Speaker 4>at this point. A recent study was published indicating that

862
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:58.880
<v Speaker 4>apparently gorillas can control whether they exude their sinky smell

863
00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:04.000
<v Speaker 4>or not. But apparently the younger silver backs, you know,

864
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:07.719
<v Speaker 4>not the dominant male, but the younger ones don't exude

865
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.280
<v Speaker 4>that stench when they're in the territory of the big

866
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:13.119
<v Speaker 4>bad boy, the big silver back that kind of runs everything,

867
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:15.599
<v Speaker 4>So apparently they can control whether it or not they

868
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:20.960
<v Speaker 4>exuded that scent. In gorillas is exuded when they're in

869
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:24.199
<v Speaker 4>a high stress situation or afraid or being aggressive or

870
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:26.360
<v Speaker 4>something like that, which makes sense with bigfoots as well.

871
00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:30.239
<v Speaker 4>It must be pretty stressful for sasquatches to be observed

872
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:32.480
<v Speaker 4>or know there's a human in the area. A lot

873
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:34.920
<v Speaker 4>of people that see like that, So only ten to

874
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.280
<v Speaker 4>fifteen percent of citing reports have a smell associated with them.

875
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:40.480
<v Speaker 2>So there you go.

876
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:42.480
<v Speaker 4>That's my take on it. That's what I think. And

877
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:44.440
<v Speaker 4>there's also a possibility that that you know, they're eating

878
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:48.559
<v Speaker 4>of carrion and flesh and just sort of bad hygiene

879
00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:50.519
<v Speaker 4>in general, and the crack when they take a dump

880
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.639
<v Speaker 4>like it probably just drips down their leg a lot

881
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:54.960
<v Speaker 4>of time because at the location of their butt compared

882
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:56.559
<v Speaker 4>to the rest of the anatomy. There's a lot of

883
00:40:56.599 --> 00:40:58.800
<v Speaker 4>reasons why they might stink, but I kind of favor

884
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.280
<v Speaker 4>the first one. That they have that sense gland that

885
00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:06.239
<v Speaker 4>they can or cannot control that exudes the stinky smell

886
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:08.079
<v Speaker 4>when they're stressed out, they.

887
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Can control it. I know a lot of it's involuntary,

888
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:12.239
<v Speaker 2>but I think that I think they could control it

889
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:13.840
<v Speaker 2>to some degree. I think it's kind of like a

890
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.960
<v Speaker 2>skunk like they could. But I think that I don't

891
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:18.320
<v Speaker 2>think they could do it like just fake. I think

892
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:20.000
<v Speaker 2>they really have to. They really would have to fill

893
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.360
<v Speaker 2>out of motion, you know, like the stress or the

894
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:25.320
<v Speaker 2>fear or the anger for it to come out. But

895
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:28.199
<v Speaker 2>I think like they I think they can, especially if

896
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:32.840
<v Speaker 2>there's intraspecies like male competitive competition for areas, it could

897
00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:36.079
<v Speaker 2>be a way to you know, like they've been seen

898
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:38.519
<v Speaker 2>rubbing on trees and stuff like that, you know, like

899
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>rubbing their backs on trees, and I think it's just

900
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:43.599
<v Speaker 2>scratched mostly, but it could be like there's there could

901
00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:46.400
<v Speaker 2>be sent marking, like they could be squirting a little hormone,

902
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:50.039
<v Speaker 2>and there might be a way to avoid intraspecies fighting,

903
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:52.280
<v Speaker 2>like you know, like okay, this is this is another

904
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:54.639
<v Speaker 2>guy's territory. You can smell that. You can smell the smell,

905
00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Like maybe that's why people if you're doing calls and stuff,

906
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.119
<v Speaker 2>you smell a smell, like because you're agitating them. But

907
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:03.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, when I think about that, I really heard

908
00:42:03.719 --> 00:42:05.800
<v Speaker 2>that many stories about people smelling them after doing call

909
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:10.679
<v Speaker 2>blasts or you know, doing knocks or whistling or calling whatever. Actually,

910
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I think about it, you never really hear people reporting

911
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:13.920
<v Speaker 2>smell too much. After that.

912
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there's a lot of environmental factors too, like

913
00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:21.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, heat and humidity, because certainly they perspire because

914
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:23.800
<v Speaker 1>they're not panting, so they got a cool probably in

915
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:26.320
<v Speaker 1>similar ways that we do, which is you know, perspiration

916
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:29.679
<v Speaker 1>and sweat. Depending on whatever else is in the environment,

917
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:33.840
<v Speaker 1>like Cliff mentioned, maybe carrying whatever they've eaten. Also, their

918
00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:38.559
<v Speaker 1>excrement will change in terms of how differous and how

919
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:41.199
<v Speaker 1>offensive that odor is. And so I think, you know,

920
00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:44.159
<v Speaker 1>to pose the question like why do some stink and

921
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:47.039
<v Speaker 1>others don't, it's sort of like, well, any one of

922
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:50.480
<v Speaker 1>us individuals, sometimes we stink and sometimes we don't, depending

923
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:53.519
<v Speaker 1>on you know, the heat, the humidity, how much we're

924
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:56.079
<v Speaker 1>exerting ourselves, you know, if we've gotten a chance to

925
00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:58.119
<v Speaker 1>take a shower that day. You know, there's a lot

926
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:02.119
<v Speaker 1>of individual variation just for day to day, and I'm

927
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:05.239
<v Speaker 1>sure that would be amplified if we were living in

928
00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:07.039
<v Speaker 1>the wild. Twenty four to seven.

929
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:09.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think that's definitely part of it.

930
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:12.639
<v Speaker 4>There's still a lot to learn about sasquatches. We don't

931
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:14.280
<v Speaker 4>know how they make the smell at all. But I

932
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:16.559
<v Speaker 4>bet you when we learn how they make the smell,

933
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:19.159
<v Speaker 4>that's really gonna tie everything up for us. And we're

934
00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:21.320
<v Speaker 4>going to figure out why some do and some don't.

935
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:23.760
<v Speaker 4>And only ten to fifteen, ten twelve, fifteen percent of

936
00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:27.639
<v Speaker 4>sightings have smells. I think the answer will lie in

937
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:31.400
<v Speaker 4>there somewhere. But until sasquatches are proven to be real animals,

938
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:35.199
<v Speaker 4>we don't know. All this is just speculation. So we'll

939
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:35.840
<v Speaker 4>see what happens.

940
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:38.559
<v Speaker 2>And the times I've smelled something there's been no wind

941
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:42.719
<v Speaker 2>and it's been so concentrated and so thick, it's just

942
00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:46.920
<v Speaker 2>it's amazing. Like I'm sure that the smells we were smelling,

943
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:49.519
<v Speaker 2>how strong they were. If there had been a breeze,

944
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:51.559
<v Speaker 2>you could have smelled that a half mile away, no problem,

945
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, like you would have got whiffs because it

946
00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:57.039
<v Speaker 2>was just just hung in the air, like you could

947
00:43:57.079 --> 00:44:00.239
<v Speaker 2>walk back and forth. It was crazy, it was it

948
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:04.400
<v Speaker 2>was invisible, but it was like it was there. It

949
00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:08.320
<v Speaker 2>was very pungent, like extremely pungent. But I've always smelt

950
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:10.280
<v Speaker 2>about you know a few times, you know, like maybe

951
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:14.480
<v Speaker 2>five times, four times and thirty five years.

952
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:18.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh, the same here, And it was very strong, concentrated, localized,

953
00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:21.840
<v Speaker 1>very unique. Nothing else in the wild that I've encountered

954
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:22.480
<v Speaker 1>smells like it.

955
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:22.840
<v Speaker 4>It was.

956
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:24.360
<v Speaker 1>It was amazing each time.

957
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:27.599
<v Speaker 4>It stinks a real bad kind of dog poop, parmesan.

958
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:32.320
<v Speaker 1>There is a whole world of smell and odor, especially

959
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:35.760
<v Speaker 1>as it pertains to pheromones that you know, I haven't

960
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.440
<v Speaker 1>done a whole lot of research into. I did hear

961
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:42.679
<v Speaker 1>a podcast with the some researchers studying pheromones and humans,

962
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and there were so many amazing things, like, for example,

963
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:50.519
<v Speaker 1>women in general are involuntarily attracted to men with more

964
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:54.519
<v Speaker 1>symmetrical faces, and this study showed that women would have

965
00:44:54.800 --> 00:45:00.159
<v Speaker 1>involuntary responses like skin conductivity and other physiological responses to

966
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:03.960
<v Speaker 1>smelling the worn t shirts of men with more symmetrical

967
00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:07.760
<v Speaker 1>faces than not. Now that's all involuntary, Like none of

968
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:11.079
<v Speaker 1>that is good. That's all going on you know, subliminally, subconsciously,

969
00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:14.559
<v Speaker 1>and so who knows what other things we're responding to

970
00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:17.519
<v Speaker 1>all the time that our sense that we can't really

971
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:20.920
<v Speaker 1>detect you know, you know the difference between like a

972
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:23.880
<v Speaker 1>pizza or chili or a hot dog or whatever, like

973
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:26.400
<v Speaker 1>those are detectable sense where you know what you're detecting,

974
00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:30.360
<v Speaker 1>but you know pheromones, you would have no idea you

975
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:32.360
<v Speaker 1>know the source or that you're even smelling it. But

976
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:37.840
<v Speaker 1>there are these chemical reactions that generate involuntary physiological responses,

977
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:40.079
<v Speaker 1>and so who knows how much of that?

978
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:40.360
<v Speaker 2>You know?

979
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I kind of wonder that with a lot of the

980
00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:45.840
<v Speaker 1>innate fear response that people attribute to infrasound, It's like, well,

981
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:47.760
<v Speaker 1>there could be a pheromone component to that.

982
00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:48.800
<v Speaker 2>We just don't know.

983
00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, infrasound is not the only possible candidate to

984
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:56.320
<v Speaker 1>generate those sort of involuntary responses in people. And so

985
00:45:56.840 --> 00:46:00.599
<v Speaker 1>who knows how far that scent thing extends not only

986
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:05.000
<v Speaker 1>in US but with sasquatches. Is some means of defense communication,

987
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:05.760
<v Speaker 1>et cetera.

988
00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:11.920
<v Speaker 4>Agreed, stay tuned for more Bigfoot and beyond with Cliff

989
00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:14.320
<v Speaker 4>and Bogo. We'll be right back after these messages.

990
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:24.000
<v Speaker 1>And so here is the final written submission.

991
00:46:24.679 --> 00:46:28.199
<v Speaker 2>All right, we got Michael, my song, my song. I'm

992
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:30.679
<v Speaker 2>checking in to see if you have a recommendation on

993
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:34.519
<v Speaker 2>the best. I'm thinking most of detailed replica footprint cast

994
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.360
<v Speaker 2>to get I'm enthralled with the subject, and then planning

995
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:39.760
<v Speaker 2>on having one frame next to a quality still from

996
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:42.400
<v Speaker 2>the PG film. What direction would you point me in?

997
00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Thanks so much for your input. Love the podcast and

998
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:48.400
<v Speaker 2>really enjoyed my visits to the NABC Grace Harbor.

999
00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:51.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, probably the Hereford cast. I guess specifically the hair

1000
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:53.880
<v Speaker 4>because there were there are eight or nine prints from

1001
00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:57.599
<v Speaker 4>Grace Harbor, but specifically the Harriford cast. When that heat casts,

1002
00:46:58.079 --> 00:46:59.760
<v Speaker 4>we don't sell that one at the NABC. I don't

1003
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:01.199
<v Speaker 4>have mission to sell it. It's not like I've been

1004
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:04.719
<v Speaker 4>denied permission, but I just have never asked Dennis about it.

1005
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.559
<v Speaker 4>I do know Dennis. I don't communicate with them very often,

1006
00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:10.079
<v Speaker 4>but I did spend a couple hours with him a

1007
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:12.400
<v Speaker 4>couple of years ago, two years ago, a great interview.

1008
00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:15.239
<v Speaker 4>I should probably reach out because that's one of the

1009
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:18.599
<v Speaker 4>things that's on my long and ever growing list of

1010
00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:20.760
<v Speaker 4>things I need to take care of, is reach out

1011
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:22.440
<v Speaker 4>to Dennis to see if we can sell those at

1012
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.239
<v Speaker 4>the shop, because we do sell other prints at the

1013
00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:27.159
<v Speaker 4>shop that belong to other people, like we have a

1014
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:29.800
<v Speaker 4>couple from dar Addington, we have some from Tom Shay,

1015
00:47:29.920 --> 00:47:32.920
<v Speaker 4>we have one or two from doctor Meldrum, and we

1016
00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:34.719
<v Speaker 4>just give him a small royalty for each one, even

1017
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:36.239
<v Speaker 4>though they don't even ask for it. For the most part,

1018
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:39.400
<v Speaker 4>Freeman Cass the Freeman stuff. Yeah, yeah, we have all

1019
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:42.239
<v Speaker 4>the Freeman stuff as well. Freeman has The Freeman casts

1020
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:43.880
<v Speaker 4>are very interesting for a variety of reasons.

1021
00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Ninety percent of feel like come in and see my

1022
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:49.960
<v Speaker 2>cast question ninety plus percent go right to the Hereford casto. Well,

1023
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and they picked that one up.

1024
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he did say most detailed, and I'm going to

1025
00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:59.559
<v Speaker 4>interpret that as the cleanest one because, so to speak,

1026
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.920
<v Speaker 4>the one that looks great, and it does have really

1027
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:05.079
<v Speaker 4>interesting details on It doesn't have dramaticglyphics or anything like that,

1028
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:07.679
<v Speaker 4>but it does have really interesting details like the mushrooming

1029
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:09.320
<v Speaker 4>of the fat pads at the bottom of the foot.

1030
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:12.079
<v Speaker 4>There's a pressure crack that goes down the middle of

1031
00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:14.599
<v Speaker 4>the planet of surface of the foot, so there are

1032
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:17.159
<v Speaker 4>really interesting details on there. But it's just clean and

1033
00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:20.320
<v Speaker 4>clear and stuff. Now, since I don't really sell those,

1034
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:24.079
<v Speaker 4>but doctor Meldrum does. He has a relationship that allows

1035
00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:26.159
<v Speaker 4>him to sell those prints. So if you do see

1036
00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:29.440
<v Speaker 4>doctor Meldrum at a conference, he very often has that

1037
00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:31.679
<v Speaker 4>print on the table because this is a big seller. Honestly,

1038
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.679
<v Speaker 4>it looks great. So yeah, that's a print that I

1039
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:36.960
<v Speaker 4>could strongly recommend.

1040
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's a wrap.

1041
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:39.599
<v Speaker 4>I guess.

1042
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:42.760
