<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 3>happened to man?

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Let your tough Cliff? Oh? Stuff?

<v Speaker 3>You know me? What about you? Matt? What about anything

00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 3>going over there? Matt Pruitt? How are you doing?

18
00:00:58.560 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I'm good.

19
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 4>I was down in George for a few days. They're

20
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 4>in squash country. It was also tourist season, so it

21
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 4>was not quite as devoid of people, you know, when

22
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 4>you're trying to get out and enjoyed nature rather than

23
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 4>like crazy traffic and people cluttering up the streets. But

24
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 4>it was a beautiful trip, nice visit. Always good to

25
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 4>be back in North towarda.

26
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I went out the last couple of nights with Bart.

27
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 5>Didn't have anything happen, but it was cool just getting out.

28
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 5>Beautiful that, you know, two thirds of the moon, real

29
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 5>warm weather, even at night. It was still like in

30
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 5>the sixties. Of those sixties, it was beautiful. But yeah,

31
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 5>nothing to report.

32
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, of course, I just got off a week on

33
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 3>the road. I was in Utah. Beautiful Vernal Utah, Holy smokes,

34
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 3>what a pretty place that is for a really interesting event,

35
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 3>interesting in weird ways too. It's called Phenomenon. I'll go

36
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 3>into the details, of course in the members episode, but

37
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 3>for now, just let it be known that if you're

38
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 3>into UFOs and Skinwalker ranch stuff and the TV shows,

39
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 3>and that's a wonderful event for you guys to go to.

40
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 3>I would highly recommend it for anybody who in the

41
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 3>deeply weird things go to Phenomicon in Vernal Utah. And

42
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 3>my god, my biggest regret about the Vernal gig was

43
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 3>that I didn't have an extra day or two because

44
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 3>there's so much to do in Vernal Utah. It's in

45
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 3>the middle of this big bowl shape thing, like the

46
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>big bowl shaped valley, and there's dinosaur stuff everywhere. It's

47
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 3>spitting distance, like thirty minutes from Dinosaur National Monument or

48
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 3>whatever that's called. And I have a fossils I'm a

49
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 3>dinosaur guy. I'm still a seven year old little boy.

50
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what seven year old boy or a girl

51
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 3>doesn't live dinosaurs. I wish I just had more time.

52
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 3>There's two or three museums in town, and it's just

53
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>gorgeous there, absolutely gorgeous.

54
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe next time.

55
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 4>Is that pretty well attended because it's so far from anything.

56
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's got to be at least a few

57
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 4>hours from the airport in Salt Lake City, right, Yeah.

58
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 3>They flew me into Salt Lake City and it was

59
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 3>a three hour drive to Vernal, Utah. So they rented

60
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.240
<v Speaker 3>me a car, which is really cool. By the way,

61
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know much about cars, but hyund dice or

62
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 3>whatever they're called. Snatas are pretty awesome. I rand one

63
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 3>of those things that really slick car had a lot

64
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 3>of fun in it. But anyway, yeah, it's a long

65
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 3>ways from Salt Lake City. I guess they have a

66
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 3>small local airstrip, but they didn't fly me into there,

67
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 3>so it was a long drive and I really enjoyed it.

68
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 3>It was just absolutely beautiful, you know, because Utah has

69
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 3>that kind of red soil and it looks like, you know,

70
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 3>coyote versus road runner territory, you know, with these maces

71
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 3>all over the place, and it's just absolutely awesome. But

72
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 3>to answer your question, it was sold out. Not only

73
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 3>was it well attended, it was literally sold out in

74
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:32.400
<v Speaker 3>the in the convention center.

75
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 4>See that's what I mean, because like how many local residents,

76
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 4>like how many people are coming from Salt Lake City

77
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 4>and or the surrounding towns, which all the towns are

78
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 4>so small, so it seems like that kind of thing

79
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 4>that most people fly in.

80
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people drove there, to be fair, I mean,

81
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 3>just kind of a brief skim of my ever failing memory.

82
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 3>The people I remember speaking to came from Colorado and

83
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 3>Utah and Oregon and California. Some people from Las Vegas

84
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 3>were there, so a lot of the surrounding states as

85
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 3>well as a lot of locals from Salt Lake and

86
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 3>places like that, or you know, Provo or wherever. But

87
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 3>there were people from most states there, you know, because

88
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 3>the MC of course pointed that out, like we were

89
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 3>represented by X number of states and things and people

90
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 3>from other countries were there as well. People were there

91
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 3>from the UK and Denmark and other places. Yeah, it

92
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 3>was a very well attended job or gig or event.

93
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>I should say.

94
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 3>From my perspective it's a job, but everybody else, you know,

95
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 3>it's an event. So it was a cool event. It

96
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 3>was neat and a lot of fun, weird stuff and

97
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 3>ideas that I don't necessarily subscribe to but are fun

98
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 3>to entertain, just as thought experiments, and it was great.

99
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 3>I strongly recommend people who are into a variety of

100
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 3>weird things to check it out. You'd probably really enjoy it.

101
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>So now I'm back, I'm looking forward to trying to

102
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 3>get out in the woods a little bit. It's been

103
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 3>like two weeks, three weeks now since I've been out

104
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 3>in the woods, and I think legitimately this is as long.

105
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 3>It's not true. I was in the blues two weeks ago,

106
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 3>but that's different than what I was thinking. But still

107
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 3>two weeks getting the shakes, the shakes, oh yeah, exactly,

108
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 3>the yeah, the yeah. I don't know as I call it,

109
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 3>but I definitely am getting the shakes on that one. Withdrawals,

110
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 3>the withdrawals, for sure, the yetty withdrawals but yeah, it's

111
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 3>been a long time, like two weeks is probably as

112
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 3>long as it's been in two years since I've been

113
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 3>out to the woods. So I need to get out.

114
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully this week I can find some time. But being

115
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.920
<v Speaker 3>gone from Tuesday to Sunday last week, I'm drowning in

116
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 3>things that are overdue and I should have done last week.

117
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see what I can get away with.

118
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 4>How goes the search for your phone?

119
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Bobs?

120
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yeah, your phone. I can't help, but notice there's

121
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 3>been a lack of Bobo texts lately.

122
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 5>It's been over two weeks now. I haven't had a phone.

123
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 5>We found out where it was. I thought I lost it. Well,

124
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 5>I think what happens. I think I was putting on

125
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 5>my boots when I told you the guy watched up

126
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 5>my truck here and like that sword thing.

127
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, we talked about in the members section.

128
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 5>So oh yeah, oh real quick for the audience, and

129
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 5>I think he's gonna be listening to this. But you

130
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:07.040
<v Speaker 5>let this guy he self as he's a little bit

131
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 5>of an odd character. Reported he's contacting the you guys

132
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 5>you know through the through the show, saying hey, I

133
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 5>got bigfoots up here. Outside of whill Creek. I'm serious,

134
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 5>and like some of his stuff, I think he had

135
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.279
<v Speaker 5>he had like a traumatic experience and like he's got

136
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.360
<v Speaker 5>squashed on the brain. He's just been camping out there,

137
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.279
<v Speaker 5>not really camping, just living in his van and just

138
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 5>like hanging out. And he's right below a really well

139
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 5>known bigfoot spot. He didn't he didn't know at the time.

140
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 5>He just picked it randomly. So yeah, we went out

141
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 5>there and we've been him in town and he just

142
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.680
<v Speaker 5>uh kind of he looked he reminded me of Zach

143
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 5>Gaffnaculis from The Hangover. He had like the same same look,

144
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 5>same body, like same every It's not like a dead ringer,

145
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 5>Like the face wasn't the exact same, but same, you know,

146
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 5>bushy beard, hair kind of style and just.

147
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Kind of like his own trip.

148
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's got his Homer Simpson shirt on, and

149
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 5>he gets out, he goes bolo and he just looks

150
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.639
<v Speaker 5>at me and gives me like a stern look and

151
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 5>walks into the gas. Because we were parts waiting for

152
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.920
<v Speaker 5>him for a while out there at the Chevron and

153
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.319
<v Speaker 5>Whillow Creek and then he comes out and he just

154
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 5>did he didn't even acknowledge us. So I got out

155
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 5>of my truck and walked everyone it's going on. He

156
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 5>was pumping some gas and he goes, we go out

157
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.160
<v Speaker 5>there here to introduce yourself, formerly introduced some tell all

158
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 5>your credentials and every podcast and TV show you've ever

159
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 5>been on, so they know who you are. I go

160
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 5>all right, like all right, this is getting a little weird.

161
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 5>And then we went and so then we followed him

162
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.160
<v Speaker 5>back up to where he was. He's out in there.

163
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 5>He was out in the sticks. He was up real

164
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 5>remote area, up pretty far. We get there at this

165
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 5>point it's dark. We get out where show. He's showing

166
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 5>us sort of some stuff happened off the main road

167
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.519
<v Speaker 5>where you went down this like old logging road out

168
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 5>in the middle of nowhere, and we're getting our boots

169
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.519
<v Speaker 5>on and stuff like that. He comes walking up on us,

170
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.160
<v Speaker 5>like this guy's a trip man, Like yeah, he's kind

171
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 5>of yeah, you know, he's kind of a different character.

172
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 5>He comes walking up to us and he had this

173
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.319
<v Speaker 5>big sword thing, like machety sword looking thing with like

174
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.759
<v Speaker 5>look like at some medieval war weapon. He comes walking

175
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.079
<v Speaker 5>up with us in the dark, and I was like,

176
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 5>oh geez, like what the hell is going on?

177
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 2>You know?

178
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.839
<v Speaker 5>And turned out he's a nice guy's you know, he

179
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 5>just had he got stuck by a cougar. He had

180
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.000
<v Speaker 5>a cougar come up to him just getting uh in

181
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 5>his van. He was sitting there at his van door.

182
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.680
<v Speaker 5>I think he was reading or something with the door open,

183
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.040
<v Speaker 5>and his cougar walked up like three four or five

184
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 5>feet from him and just stared at him, and he

185
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 5>scared him so bad, like he just wouldn't walk outside

186
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.559
<v Speaker 5>of his van without carrying this sword thing. But I

187
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:36.879
<v Speaker 5>didn't know that at the time. He just walks up

188
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.279
<v Speaker 5>with it on me and PAULI, and PAULI was like

189
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 5>jumps back and that's when I always had my phone

190
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 5>out to record audio. I guess I said it on

191
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 5>the bumper, the back bumpers. I was at the back

192
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.320
<v Speaker 5>of the truck and as we were kind of shut

193
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 5>going whoa, like that's that's kind of like I hope

194
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 5>this guy just go crazy, you know, And he was cool.

195
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, I guess I put my phone down on

196
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 5>the back bumper and then we walked around and say

197
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 5>we looked for tracks where he'd had some stuff happen

198
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.120
<v Speaker 5>up there and where we heard some stuff. We were

199
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.440
<v Speaker 5>walking around with flashlights looking around and said, well, we'll

200
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 5>come back in the daytime sometime. I want to blow

201
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 5>up a bunch of tracks at night, like walk in

202
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 5>and can't see something step on it. So we went

203
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.039
<v Speaker 5>down to where he'd been sleeping in his van and

204
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.919
<v Speaker 5>we got down there and I turned around and I

205
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 5>backed up. It was, you know, it's like really steep,

206
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.080
<v Speaker 5>you know, steepid as out of those like it's just

207
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 5>vertical canyon walls. I think what happened was when I

208
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 5>backed up, I backed up, I could see my tailgate camera.

209
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 5>When I was back up, I was my wheels were

210
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 5>still on the flat ground, but my tailgate was over

211
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:38.600
<v Speaker 5>the edge, like it was already over the edge, like

212
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:42.519
<v Speaker 5>where it drops off and there's like a tree root

213
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.559
<v Speaker 5>in the ground there. And I bumped up over it

214
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 5>and I kind of gunned it to come back over

215
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.399
<v Speaker 5>it like it truck bounced and I think it dropped

216
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 5>and bounced off there. Because when we finally were able

217
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 5>to pinpoint it because it didn't have a good reading

218
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.600
<v Speaker 5>on the GPS where it was exactly, then we would

219
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 5>the coordinate where it was and get the GPS lined

220
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 5>up because the GPS, for whatever reason on Apple phones,

221
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 5>through Google Maps and Google Streets and all that, it

222
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 5>kept changing the road names on us, like as you

223
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 5>drove through this one area, it would change.

224
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 2>It'd flipped it, they'd flip it around.

225
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 5>And it happened on two different phones and a GPS,

226
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 5>which was weird. And so we figured out where we

227
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.759
<v Speaker 5>were it was. It was lost right where this guy

228
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 5>was sleeping at. So we went back there and we

229
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 5>looked a couple of times, and I found out PAULI

230
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 5>had a metal detector. So we're gonna go back out there,

231
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 5>probably tomorrow the next day and go look forward. It's

232
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.879
<v Speaker 5>supposed to rain tonight, pretty good, but I hope it

233
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:36.360
<v Speaker 5>doesn't rain, get there and retrieve it.

234
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 2>But I got a phone coming in the mail. It

235
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 2>should be here today.

236
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, hopefully you find your phone for no other reason,

237
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 3>just the photographs that are on it.

238
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's what I'm going for. And I'm bringing out

239
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.200
<v Speaker 5>rope this time so we can go down that hillside.

240
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.919
<v Speaker 5>It's not a cliff clip, it's super steep. You need ropes.

241
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.360
<v Speaker 5>But it would have had to slid down only a

242
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 5>couple different spots where I turned around.

243
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>So because it shows.

244
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 5>Up being off the off the road like about thirty

245
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 5>thirty five feet, so I think it slid down a

246
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 5>ways and it's down to the leaf. There's a bunch

247
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 5>of it's all oak through there and stuff, so there's

248
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 5>a lot of leaf litter.

249
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 3>Well, those find my phone apps sort of things are

250
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.039
<v Speaker 3>pretty accurate. I've used one of those before I dropped

251
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 3>my phone on. I think it's during finding Bigfoot or

252
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 3>something like that, and it was out on the grass

253
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 3>next to the parking lot. It put me within like

254
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.679
<v Speaker 3>maybe three or four yards of it, So they're pretty accurate.

255
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 3>You should be able to find it if you have

256
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 3>one of those things.

257
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but I figure the more times about there, that's

258
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:27.879
<v Speaker 5>the better times. I haven't seeing one anyway, so it's

259
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.559
<v Speaker 5>not that not that big of a deal. But yeah,

260
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.440
<v Speaker 5>I hope, I hope I find it. The detecting out

261
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 5>tied into a robe off the side of a very steep, almost.

262
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Cliff like hill, so it'll take pictures. Nothing can go wrong,

263
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.679
<v Speaker 3>Nothing could go wrong. No, Well, that's the stuff that you,

264
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 3>my friend, are impervious to. Like when you put yourself

265
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 3>in ridiculous, potentially dangerous situations, you always come out Scott Free.

266
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.399
<v Speaker 3>It's the stuff that you wouldn't think would be dangerous.

267
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Where you're you are in most danger.

268
00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I jumped over this little creek yesterday just walking

269
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 5>through town with Created and she walked around, I'm just

270
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 5>gonna jump over it. I did the exact same thing

271
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 5>when I blew my back out when I her needed

272
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.679
<v Speaker 5>those discs when we were filming the show. I blew

273
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 5>up my back season two, like where I jumped and

274
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 5>landed like on a opposing like you know, just like

275
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 5>it's like a you know, it's like a V shape.

276
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 5>I jumped across and I landed lower down. I put

277
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 5>my left leg up totally straight and stiff when I landed,

278
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:25.039
<v Speaker 5>and totally like felt I could feel the exact say.

279
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 5>I was like, oh, like the second I did, like

280
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 5>that was stupid. Then I impacted like right at the

281
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:32.159
<v Speaker 5>same exact moment, and I just got that same jarring

282
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 5>like I could feel right in my back where I

283
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 5>just cave those her need to those discs before, And

284
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 5>I was like, it didn't happen, but I could feel

285
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:42.480
<v Speaker 5>like we're it was close. It tingled pretty hard but

286
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 5>didn't get hurt. I was like, God, I think I

287
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 5>almost got hurt walking taking walk in town.

288
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly what Clip's talking about.

289
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.159
<v Speaker 4>Like, you will survive the the cliff diving, metal detecting,

290
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.360
<v Speaker 4>back flipping down a mountain, you know, phone search, but

291
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 4>it's the hop in town that'll get you.

292
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

293
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, wear a padded suit when you check your mail,

<v Speaker 3>thinning hair both. Well, I've got good news for you, Bobo.

301
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 3>Hymns offers access to prescription treatments for regrowing hair and

302
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 3>as little as three to six months, so you can

303
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.399
<v Speaker 3>see a fuller head of hair like Bobo in the

304
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 3>old days by fall.

305
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.080
<v Speaker 5>That'd be nice having a fresh fall crop to harvest.

306
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.879
<v Speaker 3>So Sweet Hymns offers convenient access to a range of

307
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.000
<v Speaker 3>prescription hair loss treatments with ingredients at work, including choose

308
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.960
<v Speaker 3>oral medication, serums and sprays.

309
00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, doctors trust this stuff. It's been clinically proven.

310
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:04.559
<v Speaker 5>Ingredients like finesteride, anoxidil and that stuff can stop hair

311
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 5>loss and we go hair in as little as three

312
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 5>to six months.

313
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.200
<v Speaker 3>You can get started from the comfort of your own home, cave,

314
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:12.639
<v Speaker 3>motor home, or wherever you happen to be by filling

315
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 3>out an intake form and a medical provider will determine

316
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 3>if treatment is right for you. If prescribed, your treatment

317

319
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.759
<v Speaker 5>started has never been more convenient. And even if sasquatch

320
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:30.159
<v Speaker 5>can do it, it's so easy.

331
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 4>we talking about today? Well, you know one of the

332
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 4>topics that comes up a lot, not just in the

333
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.440
<v Speaker 4>Q and as but with listeners suggested topics is the

334
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.120
<v Speaker 4>idea of DNA, and there's a couple of different threads

335
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:19.840
<v Speaker 4>there that comes through, like one of which is the

336
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 4>sort of mythos that there exists a number of like

337
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:29.519
<v Speaker 4>previously tested quote unquote unknown primate DNA samples, which is

338
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.120
<v Speaker 4>totally a myth and so we could cover some of that.

339
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.440
<v Speaker 4>But a lot of people think now that DNA technology

340
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.320
<v Speaker 4>has come along so far and we have things like

341
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.480
<v Speaker 4>the North Carolina study getting so heavily involved that I

342
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 4>know Doug Hichek was going to get some testing done

343
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:47.039
<v Speaker 4>as part of legendmede science that discovery will occur as

344
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:50.799
<v Speaker 4>the consequence of DNA testing, and that's looking more and

345
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.639
<v Speaker 4>more promising. You know, a body might still be needed

346
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:55.960
<v Speaker 4>down the line one day to study like a skeletal

347
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.559
<v Speaker 4>structure or a respiratory system or something like that. But

348
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:00.720
<v Speaker 4>I think a lot of peop people really want to

349
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.399
<v Speaker 4>hear what discovery might look like were it to happen today.

350
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.440
<v Speaker 5>And I thought Darby was saying like, it's more muddle now,

351
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.879
<v Speaker 5>it's not as easy thought like I thought that was

352
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 5>the gist what I heard last Well.

353
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.679
<v Speaker 3>Maybe with E DNA, Yeah, E DNA is problematic, but

354
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 3>we can definitely tackle that. Should we just start there?

355
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think we should just touch on all the above.

356
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.279
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the overarching nature of a lot of the

357
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.440
<v Speaker 4>questions that come in is like, what does discovery look like? Now?

358
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Is it only a body? Is DNA something that's going

359
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.519
<v Speaker 4>to constitute discovery or is that just another you know,

360
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:33.639
<v Speaker 4>stone on the path towards discovery.

361
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's an interesting question, actually, and I certainly have

362
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.399
<v Speaker 3>thoughts on that. To back up a little bit, everybody knows,

363
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.600
<v Speaker 3>from Krantz to Green, et cetera, there's an advocacy for

364
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 3>a type specimen, a holotype of the animal, because every

365
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.399
<v Speaker 3>other species of animal out there that is real in

366
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.639
<v Speaker 3>the eyes of academia has a dead one in a

367
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:59.120
<v Speaker 3>freezer somewhere or a mason jar fromaldehyde. And that was

368
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.960
<v Speaker 3>the original one, the first one killed and then described

369
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.880
<v Speaker 3>in a peer reviewed journal. Almost every other animal human

370
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 3>beings don't have one, because we're pretty sure we're real.

371
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Although there's some argument there too, I guess, especially a phenomicon.

372
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 3>But on top of that, well, actually they say Linnaeus,

373
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.640
<v Speaker 3>the guy the scientists back in with the early seventeen hundreds,

374
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.200
<v Speaker 3>I think the guy who made up the taxonomic system

375
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:29.680
<v Speaker 3>of naming animals like genus species stuff. They give Linnaeus

376
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:32.960
<v Speaker 3>the credit of being the type specimen for Homo sapiens,

377
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 3>which I think is kind of fun. You know, there's

378
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.680
<v Speaker 3>also a monkey. I understand that was deemed too rare

379
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:41.920
<v Speaker 3>to even spare one because it would upset the balance.

380
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:44.599
<v Speaker 3>So they don't have a type specimen. But they have

381
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 3>enough documentation of various sorts and I believe including hair

382
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:50.279
<v Speaker 3>samples that could be wrong on that, So they don't

383
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:52.039
<v Speaker 3>have a type specimen or a holotype for that one.

384
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 3>And I thought there was another species just recently that

385
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.559
<v Speaker 3>is something similar. But the basic gist of a holotype

386
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.519
<v Speaker 3>is that you need a body or a piece of

387
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 3>a body. Well, the good news is that DNA is

388
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.799
<v Speaker 3>a piece of the body. It's a very very small one,

389
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.319
<v Speaker 3>but it literally is a piece of a body. And

390
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.240
<v Speaker 3>some species were proven to be real by DNA so far,

391
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:20.079
<v Speaker 3>most notably and most pertinent our Field Denisovans homodenis Ovan

392
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.759
<v Speaker 3>human and probably not ancestrab well some of us, because

393
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:28.319
<v Speaker 3>they did interbreed with Homo sapiens, but a relative human

394
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:32.000
<v Speaker 3>relative a Homo Sapien relative. It was discovered by a

395
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 3>DNA They found a small segment of a fingerbone in

396
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:39.200
<v Speaker 3>a cave, and they it was recent enough that they

397
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.240
<v Speaker 3>could test it for DNA, and sure enough, it wasn't

398
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 3>Neanderthals like they thought it was. It was this brand

399
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:49.279
<v Speaker 3>new thing, Denisovans. So that's encouraging for us that DNA

400
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.440
<v Speaker 3>can be used to prove a species as present now

401
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.000
<v Speaker 3>with Bigfoot. It might take a little bit more than that,

402
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, just because so many hoaxes have been perpetrated

403
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:03.559
<v Speaker 3>through the year, so many wild and borderline or full

404
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 3>on paranormal claims have discredited the subject for so long,

405
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 3>so it might take more than just a DNA hit.

406
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.839
<v Speaker 3>It's probably going to take repeated DNA hits, honestly, by

407
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.279
<v Speaker 3>several different sources. But that is a piece of the body,

408
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 3>and I believe that will do it, that at least

409
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:23.440
<v Speaker 3>start the avalanche. You know, picture the DNA hit, a

410
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:27.319
<v Speaker 3>positive DNA hit as a pebble that starts an avalanche,

411
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:29.839
<v Speaker 3>and the avalanche will look like a lot of different things.

412
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.559
<v Speaker 3>And one of those rocks, one of the big boulders

413
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:35.119
<v Speaker 3>falling down the hill in that avalanche, and that metaphoric

414
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.559
<v Speaker 3>avalanche will be collection of not just one, but probably

415
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.880
<v Speaker 3>several types like specimens. Unfortunately, but I think that's what's

416
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 3>going to do this because we've had a long time

417
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:48.559
<v Speaker 3>of people walking around in the woods and maybe seeing

418
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.960
<v Speaker 3>sasquatches and having the opportunity to take a shot, and

419
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.519
<v Speaker 3>they never have, or if they have, they never collected

420
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.640
<v Speaker 3>the specimen and brought it in. But DNA, with that

421
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.359
<v Speaker 3>North Carolina State University thing going on right now with

422
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Darby or cut, that is where my money is at

423
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.640
<v Speaker 3>the moment. I think that has a much higher chance

424
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:10.200
<v Speaker 3>of bringing back what we need than just depending on

425
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:12.680
<v Speaker 3>some hunter to not be so scared to pull the

426
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.319
<v Speaker 3>trigger essentially, and again, just to be clear, I don't

427
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:19.440
<v Speaker 3>necessarily advocate for the collection of the species because I'm

428
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:21.440
<v Speaker 3>not the guy who's going to pull the trigger. It's

429
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.440
<v Speaker 3>kind of like Game of Thrones, right that very first

430
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.359
<v Speaker 3>episode of Game of Thrones, if you remember, I forget

431
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:28.480
<v Speaker 3>all the characters names like the ned Start guy or

432
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:31.759
<v Speaker 3>whatever his name is, he told his son who was

433
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:36.839
<v Speaker 3>a king, you shouldn't sentence someone to death unless you're

434
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.960
<v Speaker 3>willing to swing the blade, you know. And I feel

435
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.799
<v Speaker 3>the same way about sasquatch stuff. I know it has

436
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:43.960
<v Speaker 3>to happen. I'm not going to be the guy to

437
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.480
<v Speaker 3>do it, so I feel a little hypocritical by advocating

438
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.400
<v Speaker 3>for it because I'm not willing to do it myself.

439
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:50.960
<v Speaker 3>It's going to happen, bottom line. So but I can

440
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.880
<v Speaker 3>do the DNA thing, and I am doing the DNA thing.

441
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.119
<v Speaker 3>It turns out with Darby, and now that I'm allowed

442
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:56.599
<v Speaker 3>to talk about it, it's kind of nice. And I've talked

443
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.920
<v Speaker 3>about it on the podcast before. But DNA, I think,

444
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.519
<v Speaker 3>is the avenue to start that avalanche.

445
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.720
<v Speaker 4>I think clearly one of the things that needs to

446
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 4>get fleshed out for the listeners, because enough questions come

447
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.599
<v Speaker 4>in that it's easy to tell that there's not a

448
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.759
<v Speaker 4>strong understanding of this within the community, or at least

449
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 4>among the enthusiasts. And I think a lot of that

450
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.119
<v Speaker 4>has to do with the way that this is often portrayed.

451
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.240
<v Speaker 4>But there seems to be this sort of belief that

452
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.799
<v Speaker 4>there have been in the past a host of DNA

453
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.000
<v Speaker 4>samples that were collected or you know, genetic samples that

454
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.039
<v Speaker 4>were collected and subjected to DNA testing and the results

455
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 4>were quote unknown primate and that's just frankly not true.

456
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.599
<v Speaker 4>And as far as I can tell, what's generally occurred

457
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:43.160
<v Speaker 4>is that when it does come to physical evidence, you know,

458
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:46.400
<v Speaker 4>the most abundant of which being hair. You know, as

459
00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 4>a source of physical evidence that you know, you look

460
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.240
<v Speaker 4>at hair under a microscope to determine its anatomy, and

461
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.519
<v Speaker 4>so by studying its anatomy you might be able to

462
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:58.799
<v Speaker 4>determine its source. And so of the hair samples that

463
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.839
<v Speaker 4>are attributed to sasas Squatch, or at least categorized as

464
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 4>like purported Sasquatch or potential Sasquatch hair samples, they do

465
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:09.240
<v Speaker 4>share a suite of characteristics with each other that are

466
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:13.279
<v Speaker 4>also characteristics that are analogous to those found in other apes.

467
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 4>But they're idiosyncratic enough from the known apes and from

468
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.799
<v Speaker 4>humans that the analyzes might say something like, well, they

469
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 4>don't seem to be attributable to any known ape or humans,

470
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 4>but they certainly share primate characteristics, and they're not attributable

471
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:30.200
<v Speaker 4>to any known animal, So we don't know what this

472
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 4>is from, but it seems to be from a primate.

473
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.119
<v Speaker 4>And that's strictly looking at the physical structure of hair

474
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 4>morphology anatomy etc. Now, some of those samples have been

475
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 4>subjected to DNA testing, these very you know, low resolution,

476
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.240
<v Speaker 4>surface level DNA tests that usually produce the most you know,

477
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 4>homology or the biggest hits on like human primers and things.

478
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Of that nature.

479
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:57.240
<v Speaker 4>So there's a whole list of these cases, even including

480
00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:59.680
<v Speaker 4>some from Asia, you know, with like the ya Orn

481
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:03.079
<v Speaker 4>or the YETI. Let's say where you have people studying

482
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.759
<v Speaker 4>these samples under a microscope that say this is some

483
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:08.839
<v Speaker 4>sort of quote unquote unknown primate, and when it goes

484
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:12.039
<v Speaker 4>to DNA testing, they say, well, this is human. And

485
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:14.559
<v Speaker 4>there's been these debates that have played out, some of

486
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:16.680
<v Speaker 4>them very publicly, where people say, look, I don't know

487
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.359
<v Speaker 4>what you think you're seeing there, but this is absolutely

488
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.160
<v Speaker 4>not human hair. It's not like any human hair that's

489
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.880
<v Speaker 4>ever been collected or studied. And they'll say, well it

490
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:28.559
<v Speaker 4>was you know, it's either human hair or it was

491
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:32.319
<v Speaker 4>mishandled and therefore contaminated because the only DNA is human.

492
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:37.319
<v Speaker 4>But there's no DNA result that has given that moniker like,

493
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:39.880
<v Speaker 4>well we're looking at the DNA of a quote unquote

494
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:43.039
<v Speaker 4>unknown primate. So it seems like those two have been conflated.

495
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:45.720
<v Speaker 4>But I see that come up time and time again

496
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:48.759
<v Speaker 4>in our emails and other places online where people are

497
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 4>commenting saying like, well, what about all of the unknown

498
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:55.240
<v Speaker 4>primate DNA samples that have already been tested and that

499
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.200
<v Speaker 4>just it frankly doesn't exist.

500
00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

501
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:00.119
<v Speaker 3>I had long conversation with Darby about that one, and

502
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.279
<v Speaker 3>he was visiting, and it'd be best to have it,

503
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.680
<v Speaker 3>of course, come from Darby's own mouth. And he has

504
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:06.680
<v Speaker 3>promised me that he will be on the podcast soon.

505
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:08.519
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I know that's coming, and I know I've

506
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.000
<v Speaker 3>been saying that for a while, but he will be

507
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.839
<v Speaker 3>here soon, I promise. But he's chased down every rumor

508
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:18.920
<v Speaker 3>of these DNA tests and found at the end of

509
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:20.839
<v Speaker 3>each one there's nothing really there.

510
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:22.799
<v Speaker 2>He told us that last time he was on.

511
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Yeah, And sometimes he's chased down the like various

512
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.240
<v Speaker 3>television shows have claimed DNA, various people have claimed DNA

513
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.319
<v Speaker 3>papers have been published, and he's chased down all of

514
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.640
<v Speaker 3>those things, and it turns out that either the results

515
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:39.240
<v Speaker 3>or the data, which is actually more important, would not

516
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:43.119
<v Speaker 3>be given or just didn't exist. And of course, if

517
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.759
<v Speaker 3>if it's they're not given the data, that tells you something,

518
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:50.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, that's that's a sign of maybe there's nothing

519
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:52.680
<v Speaker 3>there or don't don't want you to run independent results.

520
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.960
<v Speaker 3>But science is about reproducibility, you know, like peer reviewed

521
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.440
<v Speaker 3>sort of stuff. You know, if there's data that indicates

522
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:01.119
<v Speaker 3>there's a new species, you think you would be over

523
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:03.240
<v Speaker 3>the moon to share it with somebody else so they

524
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.519
<v Speaker 3>can get the same results or find out if you're

525
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:09.319
<v Speaker 3>incorrect about something. But apparently that it just does not

526
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:14.240
<v Speaker 3>has not happened. So these are all rumors.

527
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:16.000
<v Speaker 4>Not in a formal published sense, and that's the frustrating thing.

528
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 4>Not only on the morphological side, like the anatomy of hair,

529
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.759
<v Speaker 4>the physical structure of hair. No one's ever published really

530
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.839
<v Speaker 4>about that. All of those references tend to be in

531
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.480
<v Speaker 4>personal correspondences, in media interviews and books, you know, where

532
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:31.720
<v Speaker 4>someone has analyzed and said, well, here's what I think

533
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:34.680
<v Speaker 4>i'm seeing, but it's never really been formally published. But

534
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:37.720
<v Speaker 4>the same is true of the claims that the DNA

535
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.039
<v Speaker 4>was tested and quote unquote came back as human, you know,

536
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Homo sapiens, either that the source was human or that

537
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.799
<v Speaker 4>it was contaminated. And you know, I don't want to

538
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 4>be too disparaging, but there's a number of really interesting

539
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:57.160
<v Speaker 4>samples that were discussed heavily. There was one from the

540
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.599
<v Speaker 4>Pacific Northwest that was a blood sample from a light

541
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.160
<v Speaker 4>bulb that comes to mind. There's a handful of others,

542
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.920
<v Speaker 4>including some from the Kentucky project. And when you dig

543
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.319
<v Speaker 4>into the claims they were sent to be tested, and

544
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:10.920
<v Speaker 4>the results always come in the form of claims given

545
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 4>to the media or in personal correspondence. Hey, I looked

546
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:17.680
<v Speaker 4>at this. It's just human Well none of that data

547
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.519
<v Speaker 4>has ever been published, you know, the sequences aren't released,

548
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:24.680
<v Speaker 4>not that they were fully sequenced genomes, but it's nothing

549
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.720
<v Speaker 4>more than a set of claims. And the other frustrating

550
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:29.960
<v Speaker 4>thing is the majority of those claims all come from

551
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.319
<v Speaker 4>a single source. We don't know exactly what tests were used,

552
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:35.079
<v Speaker 4>how in depth they were, if there were anything more

553
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:39.640
<v Speaker 4>than like cursory or preliminary tests. And also those kind

554
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 4>of claims very often feed the skeptics to such a

555
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:46.119
<v Speaker 4>degree where they go, hey, look, these boneheads thought they

556
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:49.880
<v Speaker 4>had something, but it turns out it was just human DNA. Lol,

557
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:53.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, lmao. And it's it's kind of funny because

558
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:55.200
<v Speaker 4>it's like, well, if we're going to play the game

559
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.319
<v Speaker 4>where you know, you have to have evidence to support claims.

560
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.000
<v Speaker 4>I think any of us would be justified in saying, okay, well,

561
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.400
<v Speaker 4>where's the evidence that that was quote unquote just human,

562
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:09.039
<v Speaker 4>because as it stands, actually those are claims. We don't

563
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 4>have the proof that. You know, we know the sample existed,

564
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.640
<v Speaker 4>we know that it was supposedly tested. While we know

565
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:16.519
<v Speaker 4>that sample existed, we know it was sent to this

566
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:18.759
<v Speaker 4>person to be tested, we can't see the results of

567
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.319
<v Speaker 4>the tests. We can't see the data. All we know

568
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.200
<v Speaker 4>is that the person who claims they tested it claims

569
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:27.960
<v Speaker 4>that it came back just human. Now I'm not disputing that,

570
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm just saying that, like, if claims have no value

571
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:34.640
<v Speaker 4>in no place here, then every skeptic that says, well,

572
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:36.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, every time they come up with a sample

573
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.759
<v Speaker 4>it's just human, it's like, no, you can throw that

574
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:43.039
<v Speaker 4>out because that's a claim. It's unsupported by evidence and data.

575
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:46.039
<v Speaker 4>So Darby was right to point out that every time

576
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.160
<v Speaker 4>he chased one of these things down, the sample is

577
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.200
<v Speaker 4>gone and the test results are gone. There's like nothing

578
00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:52.680
<v Speaker 4>to show that these tests even actually occurred, you know,

579
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.680
<v Speaker 4>which is frustrating.

580
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you mentioned the one word really caught my ear

581
00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.559
<v Speaker 3>a few moments to Goo Matten. It really is the

582
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.000
<v Speaker 3>best men metaphor for all this. You mentioned a low

583
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:06.279
<v Speaker 3>resolution test. Resolution is probably the best metaphor for this,

584
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:09.759
<v Speaker 3>because when you do DNA testing, there are certain kinds

585
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:12.519
<v Speaker 3>of tests, and certain kinds of tests go deeper than others.

586
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:16.559
<v Speaker 3>But the low resolution one is also a visual metaphor,

587
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:20.359
<v Speaker 3>I think, because sasquatch DNA and human DNA are going

588
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.359
<v Speaker 3>to are obviously going to look very very similar to

589
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:26.000
<v Speaker 3>one another. Obviously, Well it turns out that sasquatches and

590
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:29.839
<v Speaker 3>humans also look visually very similar to one another. So

591
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.799
<v Speaker 3>that's where the resolution thing really comes in here, because

592
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 3>if you take a picture of a human or a

593
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:39.839
<v Speaker 3>sasquatch at five hundred yards, maybe the resolution of the

594
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 3>photograph isn't isn't great enough for you to tell the

595
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:45.720
<v Speaker 3>difference you know you need. I don't know how many

596
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:47.759
<v Speaker 3>megapixels you would need or whatever, but imagine it just

597
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:52.839
<v Speaker 3>like a nineteen ninety five digital camera versus your iPhone today.

598
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:55.759
<v Speaker 3>The resolution on your phone is a lot better than

599
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:58.240
<v Speaker 3>a camera back then, and the tests are the same ways.

600
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:03.559
<v Speaker 3>The lower the resolution of the test, the more approximate

601
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:07.599
<v Speaker 3>the results. Just like a lower resolution of in a photograph,

602
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:09.720
<v Speaker 3>the more approximate that picture is, you can tell it's

603
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:12.799
<v Speaker 3>a human shaped thing. But if you have a high

604
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:15.720
<v Speaker 3>enough resolution camera, you can see the eyeballs and the

605
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 3>hair cover in the body if it's a sasquatch or

606
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:21.160
<v Speaker 3>the you know, the member's only jacket or whatever one

607
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 3>happens to be wearing if it's a human. Right, same

608
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:27.599
<v Speaker 3>thing with tests. The lower resolution tests can get you

609
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:30.440
<v Speaker 3>in the ballpark, and almost all of those are going

610
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 3>to say human on them, because that's the ballpark of

611
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:37.000
<v Speaker 3>what we're expecting, at least with the sasquatch thing, being

612
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:39.079
<v Speaker 3>that they're some sort of great ape species, you know,

613
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:42.240
<v Speaker 3>just like humans or anything else. So the resolution of

614
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.400
<v Speaker 3>the test needs to be great enough to differentiate. And

615
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:49.440
<v Speaker 3>there's no evidence that such a test has been run.

616
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:51.839
<v Speaker 3>Really at this moment, all of the other ones have

617
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:54.839
<v Speaker 3>to come back human. I think it's reasonable to assume,

618
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.240
<v Speaker 3>and the lack of evidence at this point because there

619
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:01.640
<v Speaker 3>is no data to examine unfortunately that those low resolution tests.

620
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:05.000
<v Speaker 3>But any test on a DNA sort of thing where

621
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:09.160
<v Speaker 3>you get a human hit is very encouraging and should

622
00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:13.000
<v Speaker 3>be tested to a higher level. To a higher resolution

623
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:16.960
<v Speaker 3>so we can see what exactly it is instead of

624
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:18.240
<v Speaker 3>approximately what it is.

625
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.519
<v Speaker 6>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

626
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:25.880
<v Speaker 6>Bobo will be right back after these messages.

627
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.599
<v Speaker 4>I just think it's really important for people to understand

628
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:39.119
<v Speaker 4>that there are no previous DNA results that quote unquote

629
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 4>came back. That's the way people always said it, like

630
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:42.839
<v Speaker 4>you mail it off and it comes back to the

631
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:46.440
<v Speaker 4>mail came back quote unquote unknown primate. Like that's never

632
00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 4>happened as far as I know in this pursuit of

633
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:51.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't even think that's a result you would get

634
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.480
<v Speaker 4>from a DNA study. So the unknown primate moniker comes

635
00:30:55.519 --> 00:31:00.240
<v Speaker 4>from the physical structure of hair samples primarily, and not

636
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.839
<v Speaker 4>this d anything. Because people are always asking, well, what

637
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 4>about all the previous unknown primate samples? Can't Darby test those,

638
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:08.440
<v Speaker 4>and so trying to like weed out, well, actually, there

639
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:12.079
<v Speaker 4>are no real previous unknown primate DNA samples. There are

640
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:15.400
<v Speaker 4>unknown primate hair samples or other you know, evidence that

641
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.559
<v Speaker 4>was deemed that. But anyway, I know that's a bit

642
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.559
<v Speaker 4>of a diversion there, but it comes up so very

643
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:25.160
<v Speaker 4>often that I thought it'd be worth clarifying. Oh yeah,

644
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:28.160
<v Speaker 4>but as I understand it now, like I don't know

645
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.599
<v Speaker 4>this would I'd love to ask Darby this, but you know,

646
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.240
<v Speaker 4>I've heard it said that the technology has come so

647
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:36.000
<v Speaker 4>far now that you can sequence a full genome from

648
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.799
<v Speaker 4>as few as three cells. Now, whereas you know, previously

649
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:42.319
<v Speaker 4>you needed a fairly sizable sample, like a pretty decent

650
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:45.079
<v Speaker 4>amount of blood or a chunk of the animal, you know,

651
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.640
<v Speaker 4>like a diagnostic portion. They would say, you know, a

652
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:49.920
<v Speaker 4>big piece of the animal, and that now, like you know,

653
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:52.079
<v Speaker 4>if you had a droplet of blood and there were

654
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:55.279
<v Speaker 4>three intact cells in it, you could sequence in it

655
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.400
<v Speaker 4>full genome just from that.

656
00:31:57.400 --> 00:31:59.400
<v Speaker 3>That's way above my pay grade. Man, I'm just a

657
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:01.880
<v Speaker 3>grunt that walk in the woods trying to look for footprints.

658
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:04.799
<v Speaker 4>Did you see the recent news story, either of you guys,

659
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:08.680
<v Speaker 4>about this sequencing of a chimpanzee genome?

660
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think so. I mean I saw something in

661
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:13.720
<v Speaker 3>there that. But what did you hear to tell us

662
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.599
<v Speaker 3>little bit more? Maybe I'll find that at the same one.

663
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:19.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I saw something from Science Andculture dot com that

664
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:23.400
<v Speaker 4>a pigeon had posted in our Patreon section there, and

665
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 4>so I just like quickly perused it. So I haven't

666
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:28.319
<v Speaker 4>gone to the source because you know, they're obviously reporting

667
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:32.519
<v Speaker 4>on someone's study, someone's findings. But that essentially that prior

668
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:37.359
<v Speaker 4>genomic comparisons between humans and chimpanzees using the human genome

669
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 4>as a reference apparently like had some sort of biasing

670
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:43.039
<v Speaker 4>effect on the results. And so that's where this idea

671
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:46.640
<v Speaker 4>that we differ from chimps by only one percent, that

672
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, there's ninety nine percent of our genetic material

673
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:53.039
<v Speaker 4>is homologous, and that we are we share ninety nine

674
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:55.960
<v Speaker 4>percent of our DNA, but that this full genome sequencing

675
00:32:56.039 --> 00:33:00.400
<v Speaker 4>comparison shows that we're more like fourteen point nine percent different,

676
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.480
<v Speaker 4>which is, you know, fairly like an exponentially larger difference.

677
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:09.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, So I don't know. Obviously I'm not a geneticist,

678
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:13.680
<v Speaker 4>and so I have no idea, Like once I access

679
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 4>the paper and try to read it, I still don't

680
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:18.880
<v Speaker 4>know how qualified I will be, probably very little to

681
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:21.559
<v Speaker 4>interpret it correctly. But it was it was very interesting,

682
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.480
<v Speaker 4>but just showing like if you get higher and higher resolution,

683
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.119
<v Speaker 4>you're going to get more and more of these fascinating results.

684
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:29.599
<v Speaker 4>You know, if that result is correct, that no, there's

685
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Speaker 4>a lot more differences than we initially thought, now that

686
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:33.440
<v Speaker 4>we can see a lot more of the data.

687
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:36.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because what was it like the that part of

688
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.960
<v Speaker 5>the there's like no coding that in those DNA stretches.

689
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:41.519
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't not the deal, right.

690
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:44.200
<v Speaker 4>Just looking at an overview of it, it basically says

691
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:49.359
<v Speaker 4>that earlier sequencing was incomplete and so it excluded repetitive

692
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:54.039
<v Speaker 4>and complex regions, and that it masked certain genetic divergences.

693
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:57.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like one of the eye hundred nucleotides is different

694
00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 5>than the sequence.

695
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:01.079
<v Speaker 2>So that's a lot in one percent.

696
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 5>There is that variation you're talking about with that like

697
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:08.239
<v Speaker 5>up to fifteen percent difference between humans when you use

698
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:12.599
<v Speaker 5>that same technique, then chimpanzees up to nine percent different

699
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:13.880
<v Speaker 5>amongst themselves.

700
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, interesting to me.

701
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:18.559
<v Speaker 4>That just speaks of, you know, if those results are accurate,

702
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:21.639
<v Speaker 4>that the technology is getting better and better. We should

703
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:25.280
<v Speaker 4>be promising for sasquatch researchers, Like we started this conversation

704
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:28.679
<v Speaker 4>that well, maybe now the technology is such that a

705
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:31.760
<v Speaker 4>small sample would be enough to fully quote unquote discover

706
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:35.679
<v Speaker 4>you know, the species, discover the sasquatch from as few

707
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:38.880
<v Speaker 4>as a couple of fibers or maybe a little bit

708
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:41.039
<v Speaker 4>of tissue or a drop of blood or something of

709
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 4>that nature, whereas before, you know, obviously you needed a

710
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:46.599
<v Speaker 4>lot of material. You know, the problem with those earlier

711
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:49.840
<v Speaker 4>physical samples that were subjected to DNA testing is that,

712
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, they were collections of fibers in a lot

713
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:55.119
<v Speaker 4>of those cases, and testing was really destructive, and so

714
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:59.199
<v Speaker 4>even to do just those low resolution preliminary tests, you

715
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.880
<v Speaker 4>would destroy the sample in the process, and so what

716
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:05.199
<v Speaker 4>you're left with is that low resolution thumbnail. And even

717
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.440
<v Speaker 4>if it seemed to be promising, like oh maybe there's

718
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:09.719
<v Speaker 4>something here where you can't retest it now, I mean

719
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:12.199
<v Speaker 4>it's gone. The stuff is gone, And it seems like

720
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.679
<v Speaker 4>that's becoming less and less of a problem for discovering

721
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:19.119
<v Speaker 4>new species from very limited physical evidence these days.

722
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, what they said was that the differences the differences

723
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:25.679
<v Speaker 5>between human and chimp genomes mostly in non coding DNA,

724
00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:28.440
<v Speaker 5>the segments that do not code for a specific protein.

725
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:30.840
<v Speaker 5>They think of about ninety percent of the genome.

726
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:33.920
<v Speaker 4>We will have to dig into that in depth or

727
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.239
<v Speaker 4>get someone like you know, Darby to break it down.

728
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.599
<v Speaker 4>But I just thought, like the way that it speaks

729
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.840
<v Speaker 4>to what we're capable of now is cause for optimism

730
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:45.760
<v Speaker 4>within Sasquadriye, Well.

731
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:48.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm very optimistic at this point. I do believe that

732
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.239
<v Speaker 3>Darby will do it, and I've told them such. I

733
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.559
<v Speaker 3>do believe that Darby's study will do it. It might

734
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:57.559
<v Speaker 3>be five years, it might be ten, but I think

735
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:02.400
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna going to hit home basically, which is good

736
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:06.599
<v Speaker 3>for everybody and good for good and bad for Darby,

737
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:08.639
<v Speaker 3>I think. And of course when we have him on

738
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 3>we'll kind of talk about the good and bad about

739
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:14.760
<v Speaker 3>all this. But that is a tremendous responsibility. And I've

740
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:16.920
<v Speaker 3>spent a lot of time with Darby. Now I consider

741
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:18.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm a good friend, I really do, and I have

742
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:22.280
<v Speaker 3>faith in the man. And one thing I'm very very

743
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:28.480
<v Speaker 3>happy about is that he's already thinking ahead. He's looking

744
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.199
<v Speaker 3>for the pitfalls, he's looking for the problems in the

745
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:38.559
<v Speaker 3>future that might come his way or institution's way. If

746
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:40.079
<v Speaker 3>this is done. I mean, there's gonna be a lot

747
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:42.239
<v Speaker 3>of great things that come out of it, but there's

748
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:44.280
<v Speaker 3>gonna be a lot of problems that go with it too,

749
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:46.079
<v Speaker 3>And he's already thinking and trying to get ahead of

750
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:50.559
<v Speaker 3>that stuff. And he Dearby in my opinion, truly understands

751
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:55.360
<v Speaker 3>the gravity of the situation, his responsibility not only to academy,

752
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:59.719
<v Speaker 3>but also to the animals themselves, which is something that

753
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:04.320
<v Speaker 3>I think gets lost in all of this. Not to everybody,

754
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.239
<v Speaker 3>Bigfooters in particular have a certain soft spot, a certain

755
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:11.840
<v Speaker 3>compassion or empathy to the animals. But when they are

756
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:14.559
<v Speaker 3>quote unquote discovered, even though I don't like that term,

757
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:16.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it quite fits, but for lack of

758
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:20.519
<v Speaker 3>a better one right now, when they are discovered or recognized,

759
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:23.559
<v Speaker 3>it may be the worst thing that ever happened to them,

760
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:25.639
<v Speaker 3>But also at the same time, it might be the

761
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:27.920
<v Speaker 3>only way to save the species if they're going extinct.

762
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:32.719
<v Speaker 3>An that's the only path towards legal protection of any

763
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:36.000
<v Speaker 3>sort of way. But there are dangers with it as well.

764
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, and it's not hunters in my opinion, it's

765
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:42.480
<v Speaker 3>not hunters because they're not going to be any easier

766
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.800
<v Speaker 3>to run across and shoot once they're proven to be

767
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:49.519
<v Speaker 3>real animals. You can shoot them now, but nobody really does,

768
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.239
<v Speaker 3>so it's not going to be an easier at that point.

769
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.119
<v Speaker 5>It'll get easier to hunt down once like you know,

770
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:57.840
<v Speaker 5>like when all this you know maybe thirty forty years now,

771
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:00.519
<v Speaker 5>there's a bunch of data like they move these times,

772
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:04.079
<v Speaker 5>you're these certain locations, and they travel these ridgelines, and

773
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.559
<v Speaker 5>I think it'll making these the more info of theseus

774
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:08.119
<v Speaker 5>to find them.

775
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:12.119
<v Speaker 7>I think, you know, hunt them whatever. Maybe this'll be hard,

776
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:16.039
<v Speaker 7>but it'll be easier. Yeah, I suppose maybe a little easier.

777
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:20.239
<v Speaker 7>But I think the real danger isn't from hunters. That's

778
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:22.239
<v Speaker 7>not what I'm talking about at all. Is it's not

779
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.960
<v Speaker 7>from people, you know, quote unquote exploiting them in some

780
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:27.119
<v Speaker 7>sort of way, you know, like doing some sort of

781
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:29.840
<v Speaker 7>eco tour thing like they do in Rwanda for the

782
00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:33.400
<v Speaker 7>mountain gorillas to help preserve them. I think the real

783
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:37.320
<v Speaker 7>danger are from places like the pharmaceutical companies. You know,

784
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:40.199
<v Speaker 7>it's from corporations who are going to when who want

785
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:43.800
<v Speaker 7>to exploit them for medical reasons and do testing and

786
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:47.199
<v Speaker 7>doing all that sort of stuff, which would amount to

787
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:50.199
<v Speaker 7>torture as far as I can see, at least from

788
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:55.400
<v Speaker 7>my perspective. I've always said that, Well, you're always right

789
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:55.920
<v Speaker 7>than Bobo.

790
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:56.639
<v Speaker 2>I was.

791
00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.519
<v Speaker 3>That's why I said it. And so that's the real

792
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:03.679
<v Speaker 3>danger is from corporate interests trying to exploit them.

793
00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:05.599
<v Speaker 2>In that way. Yeah, makes superhumans.

794
00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:09.199
<v Speaker 3>Well I saw what I was thinking, necessarily, but I

795
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:11.599
<v Speaker 3>wasn't thinking about developing an army of superhumans.

796
00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:13.280
<v Speaker 2>But that's like one aspect.

797
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:17.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, extract like their muscle genes or whatever, you know,

798
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:21.039
<v Speaker 5>like whatever it is, like their leaping ability, like the

799
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:24.360
<v Speaker 5>structure of this and that. And they get medical like

800
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:27.639
<v Speaker 5>they resists, if they're resistant to certain kinds of cancers,

801
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:29.760
<v Speaker 5>or there's all kinds of stuff I want to use

802
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:30.119
<v Speaker 5>them for.

803
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:33.480
<v Speaker 3>And and to his credit, Darby thought of that, and

804
00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:35.719
<v Speaker 3>then that's going to be a fantastic discussion and we

805
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:36.280
<v Speaker 3>can have them on.

806
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's your earlier point about not advocating. You know,

807
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:44.880
<v Speaker 4>I definitely understand that a specimen will be necessary at

808
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:47.599
<v Speaker 4>some point because there's certain things that you can only

809
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:49.800
<v Speaker 4>understand from having a specimen, and there's a lot of

810
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.239
<v Speaker 4>routes to that. It doesn't mean that you have to

811
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:54.920
<v Speaker 4>collect one by lethal means. You know, it could be

812
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:57.719
<v Speaker 4>the recovery of a recently deceased individual if we have

813
00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:00.280
<v Speaker 4>the ability to like track them at some point. Sure,

814
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:04.960
<v Speaker 4>But over the years, you know, my perspectives have changed,

815
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, I've grown up, I've had different experiences. You know,

816
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.119
<v Speaker 4>I've been influenced by certain arguments and then swayed by

817
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:14.599
<v Speaker 4>other arguments and learn new things and discover new things,

818
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:17.599
<v Speaker 4>and so it has changed. But at this point, yeah,

819
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:22.239
<v Speaker 4>I don't think that it is to be undertaken by

820
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.519
<v Speaker 4>the citizen scientist at all. I think, you know, if

821
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:28.960
<v Speaker 4>such a thing is to occur, it would be best

822
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:32.599
<v Speaker 4>carried out by an institution with a lot of resources.

823
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:38.239
<v Speaker 4>I don't think the individual citizen would be able to

824
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:41.719
<v Speaker 4>survive the aftermath. And I don't mean that in a

825
00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:47.519
<v Speaker 4>literal sense, but reputationally, financially, legally, I don't think that

826
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:49.400
<v Speaker 4>is for the citizen to try to take on. And

827
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:51.320
<v Speaker 4>I think it might be very different if there was

828
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.599
<v Speaker 4>an individual whose home was being you know, threatened and

829
00:40:55.639 --> 00:40:57.960
<v Speaker 4>took some action and self defense, or if someone you know,

830
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.760
<v Speaker 4>hit one with a truck or a vvehicle or something

831
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:05.079
<v Speaker 4>like that. But in terms of like someone intentionally hunting one,

832
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:08.280
<v Speaker 4>collecting it and turning it into the public and thinking

833
00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:11.199
<v Speaker 4>that the world would smile upon them for the discovery.

834
00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:15.280
<v Speaker 4>I've been swayed a lot by some things that I've

835
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.760
<v Speaker 4>seen and encountered that I think this is not for

836
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:21.119
<v Speaker 4>the citizen scientists to take on in my opinion, and

837
00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:23.320
<v Speaker 4>I know, people assume that they, you know, would have

838
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:27.199
<v Speaker 4>access to some degree of anonymity. But you know, a

839
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:29.519
<v Speaker 4>lot of the people that I discussed this with, you know,

840
00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:31.320
<v Speaker 4>they do hold the belief that this would be the

841
00:41:31.320 --> 00:41:34.320
<v Speaker 4>biggest scientific discovery of all time, or at least the

842
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:38.280
<v Speaker 4>biggest biological discovery of all time, and that they could

843
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.280
<v Speaker 4>just hand over the specimen and keep all the details

844
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:46.840
<v Speaker 4>to themselves and you know, let the discovery unfold through

845
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:50.519
<v Speaker 4>these institutions. And you know, from my perspective, especially studying

846
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:53.280
<v Speaker 4>cases like the case of Ed Wiseman, the man who

847
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:56.119
<v Speaker 4>was attributed with killing the last of the Colorado Grizzlies

848
00:41:56.119 --> 00:41:59.400
<v Speaker 4>in nineteen seventy nine, it's like, you think that you're

849
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:02.039
<v Speaker 4>going to make the biggest biological discovery of all time,

850
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:04.239
<v Speaker 4>and it's not going to be accompanied by the biggest

851
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:08.599
<v Speaker 4>federal fish and wildlife investigation of all time. Like there's

852
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:11.800
<v Speaker 4>no way that those two things don't go hand in hand.

853
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:15.239
<v Speaker 4>That you know, if you're going to claim like, oh, well,

854
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:17.159
<v Speaker 4>I don't have to tell anyone where I got it

855
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:19.800
<v Speaker 4>or how I got it, you know, no, you're going

856
00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:22.360
<v Speaker 4>to have to you know, and what happens If it's

857
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:24.719
<v Speaker 4>collected on public land, who does it belong to? Does

858
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:27.400
<v Speaker 4>it belong to the state, Is it on national forest land?

859
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:30.079
<v Speaker 4>Does it belong to the federal government. If it's on

860
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:33.480
<v Speaker 4>someone else's private land, does some degree of that belong

861
00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:35.519
<v Speaker 4>to the landowner. I mean, there's going to be so

862
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:38.400
<v Speaker 4>much and none of these things can really be sussed out.

863
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:41.159
<v Speaker 4>I mean, some states do have rules of like, you

864
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:46.360
<v Speaker 4>can't collect anything that isn't a recognized game species. So

865
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:49.400
<v Speaker 4>whether that's something like a cougar in a state where

866
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:52.079
<v Speaker 4>they say, well, we have no cougars, there are no

867
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.679
<v Speaker 4>cougars here, but if you kill one, it's illegal because

868
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:58.679
<v Speaker 4>the cougar is also not a recognized game species in

869
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:02.000
<v Speaker 4>this state. That's played out in multiple states where there

870
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:05.559
<v Speaker 4>are supposed to be no surviving cougars, and yet every

871
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:07.239
<v Speaker 4>once in a while someone collects one and they get

872
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.960
<v Speaker 4>into a lot of trouble for it. Would the sasquatch

873
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.599
<v Speaker 4>fall into that category? Let alone, like Bobo said, if

874
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.960
<v Speaker 4>post hawk they're found to be closely related to us,

875
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:19.880
<v Speaker 4>Let's say, if they are something of that African lineage

876
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:23.519
<v Speaker 4>like paranthropists, and they're closer to us than chimpanzees are.

877
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:26.480
<v Speaker 4>Are there going to be laws that are applied you know,

878
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:29.360
<v Speaker 4>post hawk, even though it's like we didn't know they

879
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:31.639
<v Speaker 4>existed yesterday when you shot it, But now that we

880
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:34.480
<v Speaker 4>know that they're potentially like within our genius or closely

881
00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:37.760
<v Speaker 4>related genus whatever, are those laws going to be applied retroactively?

882
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:39.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's so much there that it's like, man,

883
00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:42.920
<v Speaker 4>this isn't for the citizen scientists to try unless you're

884
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:45.320
<v Speaker 4>just ready to throw everything away.

885
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Our friend Matt Moneymaker is the one who pointed out

886
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:52.320
<v Speaker 3>to me at least, that you don't really need laws

887
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:56.880
<v Speaker 3>against shooting sasquatches because of the way the laws are written. Yeah,

888
00:43:56.920 --> 00:43:59.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, I do want laws that are the prohibit

889
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:00.000
<v Speaker 3>the shooting of sasas.

890
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely do.

891
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:03.199
<v Speaker 3>But he points out that the way the hunting laws

892
00:44:03.239 --> 00:44:07.039
<v Speaker 3>are generally written, and I'm not a hunter, etc. But

893
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:09.719
<v Speaker 3>I haven't looked at all the hunting regulations, et cetera.

894
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:13.079
<v Speaker 3>So I'm taking Matt's word on this, so fact check me.

895
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:15.960
<v Speaker 3>As always, I encourage everybody to do so all the time.

896
00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:18.400
<v Speaker 3>But Matt does have a jurisd doctorate, you know, he

897
00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:20.599
<v Speaker 3>does have that, So I'm going to go with Matt

898
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:22.559
<v Speaker 3>on this one. He says that generally the way that

899
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:25.119
<v Speaker 3>hunting regulations are written is that they tell you what

900
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:28.159
<v Speaker 3>you can do instead of what you cannot do. And

901
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:31.239
<v Speaker 3>they specifically say what you can hunt or fish or

902
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:33.679
<v Speaker 3>whatever and when you can do so, and if it

903
00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:37.639
<v Speaker 3>isn't specifically said so, then you can't do it. Yeah,

904
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.360
<v Speaker 3>So they're very specific on what you are allowed to do,

905
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:43.639
<v Speaker 3>so they don't have to write what you're prohibited from doing.

906
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:45.800
<v Speaker 3>And Sasquatch isn't on the list.

907
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:50.239
<v Speaker 6>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

908
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.559
<v Speaker 6>Bobo will be right back after these messages.

909
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:03.800
<v Speaker 4>The game of trying to collect hair or once DNA

910
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:07.840
<v Speaker 4>becomes more accessible and prominent, like maybe after a genome

911
00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:11.840
<v Speaker 4>sequenced and we can identify sasquatches through DNA alone, well

912
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:14.559
<v Speaker 4>anybody can get in on that. Every researcher can take

913
00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:16.760
<v Speaker 4>part in that, and right now a lot of people

914
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:19.599
<v Speaker 4>can if they're just aiming at collecting hair or other

915
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.360
<v Speaker 4>bits of physical evidence and submitting that to the NC

916
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.960
<v Speaker 4>State thing. So everybody could be collecting samples and submitting

917
00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:28.960
<v Speaker 4>them or at least submitting them to be screened, you know.

918
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:30.920
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's going to be a key component

919
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:34.639
<v Speaker 3>to studying these animals after they're recognized. Is that I've

920
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:36.800
<v Speaker 3>always thought, and this is one of the big draws

921
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:40.239
<v Speaker 3>of bigfooting to me, and it always has been since

922
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:42.800
<v Speaker 3>I ran across those books in the library at cal

923
00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:45.519
<v Speaker 3>State Long Beach in ninety three or ninety four. This

924
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:48.039
<v Speaker 3>has always been the draw that this is going to

925
00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:52.079
<v Speaker 3>be a field where the amateur scientists, like the amateur investigator,

926
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:55.119
<v Speaker 3>like us, we will always have a role there because

927
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:59.159
<v Speaker 3>there's a way more of us than there are professional scientists,

928
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.079
<v Speaker 3>or even in the future there will be professional scientists

929
00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:05.840
<v Speaker 3>looking into this, and most evidence will therefore be probably

930
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:09.840
<v Speaker 3>collected by citizen scientists. So if we all kind of

931
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:12.440
<v Speaker 3>up our game and do the right thing and submit

932
00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:16.039
<v Speaker 3>things to the appropriate folks when it comes in, we're

933
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:17.599
<v Speaker 3>going to be learning a lot about it. Like say

934
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:21.360
<v Speaker 3>tomorrow the whole thing's over and sasquatches are recognized species, well,

935
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:22.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to still go out there and a lot

936
00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:24.480
<v Speaker 3>of people are still going to go camping and see

937
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:27.320
<v Speaker 3>these things, and maybe you have the possibility of collecting

938
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.960
<v Speaker 3>hair or footprints or whatever. And if there's a standard

939
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:34.360
<v Speaker 3>protocol that's very simple for the tourists. Kind of like

940
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:36.519
<v Speaker 3>if you see a sasquatch and there's a footprint, you

941
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:38.639
<v Speaker 3>get all the dirt in a bag and you send

942
00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:39.239
<v Speaker 3>it into.

943
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:39.480
<v Speaker 2>So and so.

944
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's going to be tracking the animals over time,

945
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:45.000
<v Speaker 3>and that's the kind of thing that's going to give

946
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:47.280
<v Speaker 3>us information about where they're going, what their needs are,

947
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:49.719
<v Speaker 3>what their food habits are, what their dietary strictions, like,

948
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:51.800
<v Speaker 3>their social all that kind of stuff, the stuff that

949
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.639
<v Speaker 3>you can only learn by tracking them. That's going to

950
00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:56.280
<v Speaker 3>be the way to study them. It's like going to

951
00:46:56.280 --> 00:47:00.559
<v Speaker 3>be a group collaborative effort, hopefully because small teams deployed

952
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:02.159
<v Speaker 3>out in the remote areas are going to learn some

953
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:06.480
<v Speaker 3>stuff for sure. But even more data coming in and

954
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.079
<v Speaker 3>we're okay, we tested this DNA because there was a

955
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:11.440
<v Speaker 3>sighting in the Assemite National Park and there was a

956
00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:15.519
<v Speaker 3>footprint and so and so on vacation from Florida collected

957
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:17.880
<v Speaker 3>all the dirt underneath, and here's the DNA that we're

958
00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:21.280
<v Speaker 3>looking for. Oh, that's that one individual that's big earl

959
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:23.000
<v Speaker 3>or whatever we call that one that hangs out in

960
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.199
<v Speaker 3>twelve of the meadows. Then they're oh, why is it doing.

961
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:25.880
<v Speaker 2>See.

962
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:27.440
<v Speaker 3>That's the kind of stuff that I think is going

963
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:31.000
<v Speaker 3>to be absolutely fascinating and can only be accomplished by

964
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:34.480
<v Speaker 3>trace evidence by a large number of people, and the

965
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.119
<v Speaker 3>largest number of people are the general public. So if

966
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:41.360
<v Speaker 3>there's a very simplified protocol that some people are aware of,

967
00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:43.440
<v Speaker 3>if they happen to see a sasquat for the collection

968
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:45.360
<v Speaker 3>of dirt or whatever, that it can be tested in

969
00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:48.480
<v Speaker 3>the future, that's going to give us a tremendous amount

970
00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:50.760
<v Speaker 3>of insight into how these things live.

971
00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure, amen, which is.

972
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:56.880
<v Speaker 3>What I'm so excited about, because again I've said it

973
00:47:56.960 --> 00:47:59.960
<v Speaker 3>during my presentation, if you're still asking if these things are,

974
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:03.599
<v Speaker 3>you're behind the learning curve. One should be asking how

975
00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:04.079
<v Speaker 3>they live?

976
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:05.119
<v Speaker 2>What do they do?

977
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:07.840
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's by far the most interesting thing

978
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:11.199
<v Speaker 3>about them. And I cannot wait till academic recognition of

979
00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:13.559
<v Speaker 3>the species so we can really start drilling in and

980
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:16.000
<v Speaker 3>finding out what have I been doing wrong all these years?

981
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:17.679
<v Speaker 3>Like why haven't I seen a few more of these things?

982
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:20.039
<v Speaker 3>Why haven't I filmed one? You know, That's what I

983
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:20.480
<v Speaker 3>want to know.

984
00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely anything else in the DNN is.

985
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Not in the news, I think, But you know, One

986
00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:29.199
<v Speaker 3>of the challenges, of course, is the hair samples right,

987
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Because the hair would be great, it's a part of

988
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:34.480
<v Speaker 3>the body. It should count for potentially been a type

989
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:37.400
<v Speaker 3>specimen if if handled correctly. But the problem is if

990
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:42.519
<v Speaker 3>Heinterer Fahrenbach is correct, most sasquatch hairs either are lacking

991
00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:46.880
<v Speaker 3>a medulla or they have a fragmentary medulla, And unfortunately

992
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:49.519
<v Speaker 3>the medulla is the only place in the hair where

993
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:54.159
<v Speaker 3>there might be genetic material. Essentially, so with the cards

994
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:56.960
<v Speaker 3>are already stacked against us, so to speak, because the

995
00:48:57.039 --> 00:48:59.760
<v Speaker 3>part of the hair that we need isn't present in

996
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:02.840
<v Speaker 3>the species that we're looking at unless you have the

997
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:05.599
<v Speaker 3>follicle along that unless the course of follicle. Yeah, in

998
00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:08.079
<v Speaker 3>which case they both sides of the DNA in mitochondria

999
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:10.880
<v Speaker 3>and nuclear. But still that that would be fantastic. Yeah,

1000
00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:15.239
<v Speaker 3>I think hair hair traps might be better utilized. Like

1001
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I know, I haven't really been doing hair traps so much,

1002
00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:21.480
<v Speaker 3>but I also despite having places where I've found recurring

1003
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:24.480
<v Speaker 3>footprints and things, I'm not sure how to set up

1004
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:26.880
<v Speaker 3>a hair trap to keep the bears out. You know,

1005
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:29.639
<v Speaker 3>some sort of attractant which is illegal. So I wouldn't

1006
00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:31.440
<v Speaker 3>be doing that anyway, but like you need some sort

1007
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:33.679
<v Speaker 3>of like attractive But I think if you don't use

1008
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:37.079
<v Speaker 3>food attractants, that's probably in the legal realm, you know,

1009
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:39.760
<v Speaker 3>squeaky toys or something might be of interest, because you

1010
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:43.079
<v Speaker 3>aren't allowed to use food attractants for animals because they

1011
00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:45.719
<v Speaker 3>think you're luring bears in and stuff like that. But

1012
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:49.320
<v Speaker 3>some sort of visual attractant or something might be useful.

1013
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:54.320
<v Speaker 3>I think Doug Hicheck, I think he suggested using velcro tape,

1014
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:56.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, like the tape that the Volco thing, and

1015
00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:00.760
<v Speaker 3>just using the prickly hard plastic side and taping those

1016
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:03.159
<v Speaker 3>on things like what did he use, like beach balls

1017
00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:05.960
<v Speaker 3>or something like that. He may have maybe he told

1018
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:08.159
<v Speaker 3>me he had some success with that or something. But

1019
00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:13.480
<v Speaker 3>what kind of visual or non food attractant might be used?

1020
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:14.880
<v Speaker 3>I guess that's the hard part.

1021
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Something bright colored, I don't.

1022
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Know, mirrors like shiny things people have used CDs. I

1023
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:22.960
<v Speaker 3>mean to no avail or to avail I have no

1024
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:25.159
<v Speaker 3>idea if there's been any positive hits on.

1025
00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:26.880
<v Speaker 2>That sex dolls.

1026
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, we're talking about sasquatches, Bob's not you. The things

1027
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:35.920
<v Speaker 3>that work well, right, right, it's a scientific fact that bigfoots,

1028
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:39.639
<v Speaker 3>like with bobo likes, I've been told are.

1029
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Think pretty funy to foot one of those out there.

1030
00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:44.039
<v Speaker 3>I was like, bait, sounds like a finding bigfoot concoction.

1031
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1032
00:50:46.079 --> 00:50:48.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, I do look forward to, like whenever Darby's ready

1033
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:51.280
<v Speaker 4>to come back and speak more to these things, because

1034
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:54.119
<v Speaker 4>I have so many questions. Again, genetics is so far

1035
00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:57.599
<v Speaker 4>over my head. And then obviously the technology races along

1036
00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:00.360
<v Speaker 4>so quickly, I just don't follow that closely to know

1037
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:03.000
<v Speaker 4>exactly where it's at. Other than that, it seems to

1038
00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:05.960
<v Speaker 4>be getting better and better, which is cost for optimism.

1039
00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:08.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I know. One of the hurdles that Darby

1040
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:10.880
<v Speaker 3>was waiting for is getting his website up and running it.

1041
00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:13.719
<v Speaker 3>But it is up and running. His website looks great.

1042
00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:16.400
<v Speaker 3>He talks a little bit about a couple of the

1043
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:19.079
<v Speaker 3>projects on there. The website is up, so it can't

1044
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:21.280
<v Speaker 3>be too long. And every time I speak to Darby,

1045
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:23.039
<v Speaker 3>he's the one that brings up and I promise I'm

1046
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:25.360
<v Speaker 3>coming back on your Podcastie. I've just been so busy

1047
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:27.440
<v Speaker 3>and I can't blame him, blame the guy. He's got

1048
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:29.639
<v Speaker 3>so much going on, so weah it was a lot

1049
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:31.239
<v Speaker 3>to look forward to. I think as far as the

1050
00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:34.840
<v Speaker 3>DNA thing goes as an alternative for collecting a type specimen,

1051
00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:37.559
<v Speaker 3>it's certainly less aggressive, and the less aggressive we are,

1052
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:39.280
<v Speaker 3>I think, the more human we are in a lot

1053
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:41.880
<v Speaker 3>of ways. So I'm looking forward to what comes on

1054
00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:44.920
<v Speaker 3>the other side of that, where the real learning starts happening.

1055
00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:47.280
<v Speaker 3>I think it was a good discussion today. But before

1056
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:49.519
<v Speaker 3>we do go, before we hand it over to Bobes

1057
00:51:49.519 --> 00:51:51.480
<v Speaker 3>to close us out here, I do want to push

1058
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:54.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm speaking in New York on October third and fourth

1059
00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:58.920

1067
00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that. No.

1068
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:21.760
<v Speaker 4>The next thing I'm doing will be cryptocon with Cliff

1069
00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:24.000

1070
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:25.519
<v Speaker 4>between now and then. But I will put a link

1071

<v Speaker 4>to that in the show notes.

1072
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:29.000
<v Speaker 5>And Cliff people didn't come and split any They might

1073
00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:31.559
<v Speaker 5>just be Buddhist monks trying to cure you or something.

1074
00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:35.599
<v Speaker 3>I'll try to I'll try to remain very zen and

1075
00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:36.559
<v Speaker 3>not be upset about it.

1076
00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Then, hey, they cured my leg doing that?

1077
00:52:39.239 --> 00:52:41.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh did they? Was that a cure?

1078
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:42.719
<v Speaker 2>I think so?
