00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Today, I want to tell you about a journey that

2
00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:03.879
<v Speaker 1>I've been on for most of my life. Ever since

3
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid, I've heard tales of bigfoot and

4
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>wild men while spending time with my friends and family.

5
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>As I grew older and read more about the paranormal,

6
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>my interest in encryptids and other things strange only deepened.

7
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm so excited to share with you what

8
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:21.640

27
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm really confused. All I saw was my dog coming

<v Speaker 2>over the fence, and they would dead once you hit

29
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the ground. I didn't see any cars. All I saw

00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>was my dog coming over the fence. What are you reporting?

00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to the show. Troy, Hey, thank you very much.

<v Speaker 1>I am glad to have you both. Since there's two

45
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>of you guys, we're gonna switch it up here. I'm

46
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>going to start with Troy and ask the million dollar

47
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 1>question I ask everybody I bring on the show, what

48
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>in the world got you interested in the subject of sasquatch?

49
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 3>To begin with, Wow, that's always a great question, Brian.

50
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 3>I was a hunter for jeez, since I was a child.

51
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I grew up on a farm up in Connecticut, hunted

52
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 3>all my life. Moved to Florida. He's about thirty years ago,

53
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 3>my sixties now. Never really had any interest in bigfoot sasquatch.

54
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 3>I heard of it, thought of it. Never any interest, however,

55
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 3>down here in Florida, as I was hunting in this

56
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 3>one area, especially in twenty sixteen, that's when all started.

57
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 3>I was out there in the woods a lot, I'd

58
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 3>say at least twice a week in this one area.

59
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 3>I was scouting, setting up blinds, and putting up my

60
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 3>tree stands. When hunting season started, I would sit in

61
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 3>a tree stand, I'd get this really weird howl sound

62
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 3>off to the northwest of where my tree stand was located.

63
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't figure it out. I would rotate my stands.

64
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 3>I sat in another stand, same general area. I heard

65
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.719
<v Speaker 3>a grunt growl. It was a grunt that turned right

66
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 3>into a growl. So all these little weird things were happening.

67
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Didn't know what they were. I was coming in again

68
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 3>to my tree stand behind me, I'd say, maybe I

69
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 3>don't know. Let's say one hundred and ten feet. I

70
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 3>hear this huge thought boom and there was a two steps,

71
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 3>and I'm thinking, why would a hunter drop down out

72
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.759
<v Speaker 3>of his tree stand behind me? I was looking. I

73
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 3>didn't see anything after that, didn't hear anything, But all

74
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 3>these little things added up. Then I went to the

75
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 3>first big conference down in Florida. It was at the

76
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 3>RP Funding Center. I ran into a group, I started

77
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 3>talking to them. Then we went out doing this stuff.

78
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 3>We didn't have an experience in finding tracks, and DESI did,

79
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 3>and that kind of kicked it all off for me.

80
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 3>I've been full in since then, basically given up hunting.

81
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 3>This is what I do now. It's intense. It definitely

82
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 3>sounds like it.

83
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Desi, I want to ask you the same question, what

84
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 1>got you interested in the subject.

85
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 4>To begin with a little bit different than Troy's experience

86
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 4>Because being an avid hunter, an outdoorsman, he had that

87
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.879
<v Speaker 4>opportunity to be shook by something that didn't really add

88
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 4>up or makes sense. I'm originally from western Pennsylvania. I

89
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 4>grew up in the eighties and nineties, and we spent

90
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.000
<v Speaker 4>a lot of time out in the woods. Of course,

91
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 4>we were able to unplug. You weren't connected to sulphones

92
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 4>or social media, and time outside with everything to me,

93
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 4>my friends, my family. But nothing like that ever occurred

94
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 4>that made me give what's going on. I grew up

95
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 4>in a family that was very open minded to things

96
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 4>that may not be common or what we believed to

97
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 4>be average, everyday normal sayings. I had a grandfather on

98
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.480
<v Speaker 4>my mom's side the family, a Polish grandfather who raised

99
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.800
<v Speaker 4>us on folklore. So he would tell his stories about ghosts,

100
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.759
<v Speaker 4>to see creatures, this assquatch, and aliens. He had theories

101
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 4>that I'm quite sure if there's a linkage between aliens

102
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 4>and Bigfoot, and you're just trying to process one first

103
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 4>the next, nevertheless combine them. Always just had that interest

104
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 4>from such a young age and never really left me.

105
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 4>The lord mystery behind those things that are not just

106
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 4>common every day are really just what drove me forward.

107
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.360
<v Speaker 4>And spending as much time as I did growing up

108
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 4>in beautiful parts of the Alleghanies, the Lower Highlands near

109
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 4>the Chestnut Ridge area up there as well, which there's

110
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.600
<v Speaker 4>been a lot of experiences in that side of Pennsylvania

111
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 4>that have been well documented and knocking the socks up

112
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 4>of many people. It is built into that culture up there,

113
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 4>that filling out the community. But nobody, and I mean

114
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 4>nobody that was in my age range wanted anything to

115
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 4>do with that stuff. That just wasn't something they were

116
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 4>interested in. Then, when I had an opportunity to move

117
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 4>to Florida, an opportunity to transition down here for work,

118
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 4>I just like Troy, saw some of the advertisements for

119
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 4>the conference on the news, had a chance to go

120
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 4>and meet a lot of people really quick at the

121
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.079
<v Speaker 4>very first conference and everyone after that. You just see

122
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.680
<v Speaker 4>how much bigger and bigger the community gets. A lot

123
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 4>of people come into it with their own kind of

124
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.879
<v Speaker 4>idea of what they believe this may be, but there's

125
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 4>a lot of disagreement and discernment between those theories. So

126
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.519
<v Speaker 4>you're looking for people that you'd share common interest with,

127
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 4>that you could agree most importantly, you get along with,

128
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.839
<v Speaker 4>right So when try and I met. It was one

129
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 4>of those moments where you felt like you already knew

130
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 4>each other, so the conversation was very fluent. It was

131
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 4>probably a week or two later we ended up going

132
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 4>out and we have been triggered around since. Stars kind

133
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 4>of aligned with our relationship and our partnership. The things

134
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 4>we've experienced together, I can't imagine doing it with anyone else.

135
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 4>Who've been very blessed.

136
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's get into those experiences. I'll throw it back to you, Troy.

137
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you were a hunter. You had these experiences while

138
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 1>you're out hunting. Bigfoot wasn't really on your radar at

139
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that point. But once it got to be on your radar,

140
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 1>you went to this conference, you met people like Daisy.

141
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>You guys start going out doing your thing. When did

142
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 1>you start having experiences when you went out looking for

143
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>these things? Was it automatic the first time you went out?

144
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Did it take a while to get into an area.

145
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about where you guys were going, what you

146
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>were doing, and what you were experiencing.

147
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 3>Good question. Me and Desi hooked up. We went out

148
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.519
<v Speaker 3>to the Green Swamp. It was really weird because, like

149
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 3>Desi said, we connected real fast. She calls me on

150
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 3>a Thursday night. She says, hey, I've got tomorrow off.

151
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.720
<v Speaker 3>What do you want to do. I says, hey, yeah,

152
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 3>I can go out. So we went out early in

153
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 3>the morning. I think we met around at four thirty.

154
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.199
<v Speaker 3>I think it was might have been four o'clock because

155
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 3>once we got there, we got our stuff together. This

156
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 3>was really the first time me and her went alone.

157
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 3>We get out of the car, get all our stuff together,

158
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 3>we start down this dirt road. Being a hunter, I'm

159
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 3>telling you, you just don't listen as closely as you

160
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:48.200
<v Speaker 3>should for those odd sounds. You just don't. I blew

161
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 3>off so much stuff in the past, and when I

162
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 3>started having those experiences, I started thinking back and go,

163
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.879
<v Speaker 3>wait a minute, there was something I think paralleling me

164
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 3>in the woods when I was hunting down at Bull Creek.

165
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 3>So we're in the green swamp and we're going through

166
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 3>the trail the path. There there's this whistle and I

167
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 3>blew it off as being maybe a bug or frog something,

168
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 3>it's nothing important. And Desi says to me, hey, that

169
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 3>sounds like a human whistle, and I'm like, no, I

170
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.120
<v Speaker 3>don't think so, I don't think it's anything. We keep

171
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.720
<v Speaker 3>on going down. Then the whistle comes again, and I go,

172
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 3>wait a minute. I think she's right, because now I'm

173
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 3>starting to listen closer. We continue down. We listen for

174
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. We continue down. Now the whistle happens again,

175
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 3>but it has moved. It was toward northeast and then

176
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 3>it moved to the north. Now it's paralleling us. At

177
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.480
<v Speaker 3>that point we stopped. I broke out my night vision,

178
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.240
<v Speaker 3>which is an old Gen one night vision. We don't

179
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 3>have the equipment that we have today. Back then, I

180
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.559
<v Speaker 3>wish we did the thermals and ill at night vision.

181
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 3>So I'm looking and I don't see anything. We waited

182
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 3>there for me about five minutes, trying to see if

183
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 3>we could see anything. But wistles had stopped, so they

184
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.360
<v Speaker 3>moved from the north east north again. Now they're paralleling us.

185
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 3>We continue down the road again. We hear another whistle,

186
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 3>again parallel with us. We continue further. We hear another whistle,

187
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.279
<v Speaker 3>and this is the critical part. I hear a whistle,

188
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.559
<v Speaker 3>She hears the whistle. We hear a crack. Something stepped

189
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 3>on something that broke it and it was of heavy weight.

190
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 3>So now it's still dark. There's an owl, often of

191
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Speaker 3>distance you can barely hear them. There's no other noises.

192
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:30.639
<v Speaker 3>Might have been a whipper, will I think it is,

193
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 3>And DESI says to me, Troy, what's this? And I

194
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 3>turn around on the ground. She's illuminating with her green

195
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 3>head lamp a footprint six and a half inches long

196
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 3>by three and a half inches wide. Obviously it would

197
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 3>have to be talking bigfoot juvenile. But if you take

198
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 3>that measurement and you measure your grandchild's feet, guess what.

199
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 3>They're six inches long, four years old, six inches long

200
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 3>by about two inches wide. And there's no other tracks.

201
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 3>So now we've got a small child's footprint in the dirt.

202
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 3>There's no other footprint around, no other human tracks, no

203
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 3>other animal tracks, nothing, And we end up finding nineteen

204
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:12.759
<v Speaker 3>of them. But at that moment, that whistle that had

205
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:17.840
<v Speaker 3>parallel us continued going west, So that really knocked my

206
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>socks off. It took me about three four days to

207
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 3>really process that, to really think, holy cow, this might

208
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:29.120
<v Speaker 3>be the real deal. This is something important. And after

209
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.600
<v Speaker 3>that one hundred percent in granted, until I see it,

210
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 3>I won't be one hundred percent yes they exist, So

211
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.120
<v Speaker 3>I call myself eighty five percent until I see it,

212
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 3>then we'll be there.

213
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Daisy, I want to talk to you about what you

214
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 1>were thinking, what was going through your brain when you

215
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 1>guys are hearing these whistles and it's moving around, Because

216
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, what you're describing sounds almost identical to

217
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>what I experienced last summer when I had my three

218
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.200
<v Speaker 1>sidings in two days out in the Pacific Northwest in

219
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Washington State. We were getting these whistles. That's initially what

220
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>drew our attention to the areas that we ended up

221
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.919
<v Speaker 1>looking and finding these creatures in Again, Deasy, I want

222
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>to throw it to you and talk a little bit

223
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.200
<v Speaker 1>about what you were feeling in the moment when you

224
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 1>guys are walking out there in the dark, you're hearing

225
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>what sounds like a human whistle. Then you look down

226
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 1>and see this footprint.

227
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 4>When the whistles started, which were honestly the timing of

228
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.360
<v Speaker 4>it all surely after we hit the trail is when

229
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.039
<v Speaker 4>we heard the first whistle. In that first moment me

230
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 4>thinking it was a human, there is that level of

231
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 4>fear regarding our safety. Then real quick you're running through

232
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.240
<v Speaker 4>things in your mind of what that could be. Then

233
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.080
<v Speaker 4>also stepping back and thinking okay, we're the only cars

234
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 4>at the trail head. It is four thirty five am

235
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:53.360
<v Speaker 4>on a Friday morning, meaning that people probably are not

236
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.080
<v Speaker 4>up yet or it's a workday, so this area should

237
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.960
<v Speaker 4>not be very heavily trafficked. If that is the case,

238
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:02.320
<v Speaker 4>then they probably know that, so they may be passing through.

239
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking first and foremost the safety piece event. But

240
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 4>then it just clicks right in. With all your readings,

241
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.720
<v Speaker 4>all your podcasts, listening all the documentaries you watch, you

242
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.360
<v Speaker 4>know that there's a good handful of both say, main

243
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.559
<v Speaker 4>pieces of possible evidence that could link to these beings.

244
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.559
<v Speaker 4>So it hits you, and then it continues and you're thinking, Wow,

245
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:29.000
<v Speaker 4>this Wiley sounds like a text scenario of right time,

246
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 4>great place for us, wrong time, wrong place for them. Right,

247
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.559
<v Speaker 4>so they're probably signaling to something, But of course it's

248
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.200
<v Speaker 4>still a lot to keep in mind, not knowing that

249
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 4>that's exactly what's going to happen to you. Not even

250
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.600
<v Speaker 4>five minutes into getting on the trail, when we got

251
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:52.240
<v Speaker 4>to the point of identifying the track, we use the

252
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 4>green headlamp a lot aforda looking at certain types of substrates,

253
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.639
<v Speaker 4>and myself specifically, I like to keep it down by

254
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 4>my waist or buy my legs. It's just easier to

255
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 4>see a lot of times when we go out, I'm

256
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 4>looking down at the ground, he's looking forward with whatever

257
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.639
<v Speaker 4>tech we're using at that time, or behind us, just

258
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.720
<v Speaker 4>so we don't miss anything. But you do. You miss times.

259
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 4>There's no way you can capture all of this if

260
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:17.759
<v Speaker 4>there's something there. But I could not believe it, honestly.

261
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.840
<v Speaker 4>We have our audio, of course, recording the surprise in

262
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 4>our voice and the questioning of what are we looking

263
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 4>at right now, which is very authentic because it was

264
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.720
<v Speaker 4>mind blowing. Like I said, if you've done your research

265
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 4>and you're really into this type of field, this seems

266
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.639
<v Speaker 4>way too good to be true. The only other thing

267
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 4>is if you want to have a sighting and you

268
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.399
<v Speaker 4>want that experience, that is the top notch, right, that's

269
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.480
<v Speaker 4>the Holy Girl. This was as close as I think

270
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 4>we could get to it besides from the sighting. So

271
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.399
<v Speaker 4>trying to connect those stops and in a way with

272
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 4>somebody that's possible eighty five percent believer now to relate

273
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 4>that to him and also honor his beliefs at the

274
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.120
<v Speaker 4>same time.

275
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Tune for more sasquatch out to sea. We're right back

276
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.399
<v Speaker 1>after these messages.

277
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Because maybe you have a chance to learn more about

278
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.399
<v Speaker 4>us through this or other outlets. We compliment each other.

279
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 4>It's like a whole brain between the both of us,

280
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 4>which is why it worked so well together. But when

281
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.240
<v Speaker 4>we saw that track and we heard the last crack break,

282
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.799
<v Speaker 4>something heavy hitting in the ground and it continue off,

283
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 4>I really didn't know what we were supposed to do.

284
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.000
<v Speaker 4>Then do we stop?

285
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.399
<v Speaker 5>Now?

286
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.320
<v Speaker 4>Do we document? Do we follow those whistles? We follow

287
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 4>that commotion. It is quiet until you start hearing some

288
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.639
<v Speaker 4>of this morning birds come up, and then the sun

289
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.519
<v Speaker 4>slowly starts rising. Before we knew it, Brian, the sun

290
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.559
<v Speaker 4>was starting to come up. We slowly saw everything through

291
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 4>the green light disappear because the sun was taking it

292
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.399
<v Speaker 4>away from that trail. It just would have been impossible

293
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.000
<v Speaker 4>to see during the daylight if you didn't know it

294
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 4>was already there. So much is going through your mind

295
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.360
<v Speaker 4>trying to figure out what is the best next step,

296
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.679
<v Speaker 4>because if you're not in that position or you happy

297
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.919
<v Speaker 4>Bee rehearsed it, which we've learned a lot from that

298
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.000
<v Speaker 4>moment what we could do better right and leaned on

299
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.080
<v Speaker 4>some great resources in the process. You never can be

300
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.200
<v Speaker 4>too prepared. So a lot of things happened from that

301
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 4>moment forward, but we took that experience and documented everything

302
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.559
<v Speaker 4>we could find. It was like six to seven hours

303
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.879
<v Speaker 4>worth of documentation over a very short amount of square footage.

304
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 4>But we were just hitting the trail heard for lack

305
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.320
<v Speaker 4>of better terms, to make sure we didn't miss anything.

306
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.440
<v Speaker 4>Should we have tasted along the tree line, we'd never

307
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 4>catch up to it. We'd have to go through a

308
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.000
<v Speaker 4>palmetto field, which would have been a bear trying to

309
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 4>get through there without thawing in holes getting injured. Even

310
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.679
<v Speaker 4>though it was over three years ago this past April,

311
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.120
<v Speaker 4>everything is still so vivid of what happened that morning,

312
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.840
<v Speaker 4>both auditory and visually.

313
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.039
<v Speaker 3>KNY. One more thing, very important point that I forgot

314
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 3>to put in there is that the tracks that we found,

315
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.399
<v Speaker 3>they were heading east on that trail. They stopped, turned

316
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.600
<v Speaker 3>around and started heading back west. So what we think

317
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 3>was our theory is that the whistles were warning to

318
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.359
<v Speaker 3>the little ones that were out on the road out

319
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 3>on that trail, playing around or whatever they are doing,

320
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.039
<v Speaker 3>that listen, we've got some issues going on, or there's

321
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 3>people here. And they turned around and went back, now

322
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.200
<v Speaker 3>my experience with hunting, I've seen the bobcats do it.

323
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 3>I've seen red fox do it. What they'll do is

324
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.400
<v Speaker 3>the fox will come up, they'll do a little growl,

325
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:29.759
<v Speaker 3>and the little ones will head off back into the

326
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 3>woods some previous location. Same with a bobcat. They'll make

327
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.119
<v Speaker 3>that little growl, they'll head off. So we were suspecting

328
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 3>the same thing happened here.

329
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:40.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad you said that, because if that's where

330
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.759
<v Speaker 1>I was about to go with my questioning, I was

331
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.359
<v Speaker 1>going to throw it back to you and ask you this.

332
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.119
<v Speaker 1>This is one of these things that has baffled me

333
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:49.480
<v Speaker 1>about these creatures, because, as I said, we had a

334
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.599
<v Speaker 1>very similar experience with the whistling when we were out

335
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.480
<v Speaker 1>in the Pacific Northwest last summer. Had these things not

336
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:02.519
<v Speaker 1>brought our attention to them by making these noises, these sounds,

337
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 1>these whistles, we would have never known they were there.

338
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>And this happened so many times, and so many of

339
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:13.880
<v Speaker 1>these encounters. It'll huff, it'll growl, it will bring something

340
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 1>to the table that brings attention to these creatures. It

341
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.119
<v Speaker 1>has always fascinated me that they are the hide and

342
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>seek champions that's the joke, that's the T shirt. Everybody's

343
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:28.279
<v Speaker 1>seen it on a bumper sticker. Yet, in order for

344
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.279
<v Speaker 1>most people to have their experiences where they actually get

345
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:35.400
<v Speaker 1>to see these creatures, they put themselves in positions or

346
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:40.519
<v Speaker 1>in situations where it's unavoidable. Have you given any thought

347
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 1>to that? I think you've already answered the question about

348
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>what you think happened, But was that your immediate go to?

349
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Did you have that moment where you said, why in

350
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.559
<v Speaker 1>the hell were these things whistling? Because we would have

351
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:54.039
<v Speaker 1>never known they were around if they weren't making these noises.

352
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Did that go through your mind or did you just

353
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.920
<v Speaker 1>automatically go to I've seen that with other animals, and

354
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I think this is what they're doing.

355
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.200
<v Speaker 3>So what happened with me is that as we are

356
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.200
<v Speaker 3>going through this whole process, hearing the sounds and finding

357
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.519
<v Speaker 3>the tracks, putting all the evidence together at the end,

358
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.039
<v Speaker 3>it just came into a theory. Of course you want

359
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:14.759
<v Speaker 3>to throw in the animal behavior because you would do it,

360
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:18.000
<v Speaker 3>you'd whistle what typically I have seen and you look

361
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.920
<v Speaker 3>at most of this evidence that you see what typically

362
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:25.839
<v Speaker 3>happens when you do see this a sasquatch, either a

363
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.400
<v Speaker 3>juvenile or a young one has made a mistake, is

364
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:31.599
<v Speaker 3>out there goofing around, and then the adult has to

365
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.319
<v Speaker 3>jump in and do something, make the whistles, they show

366
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.680
<v Speaker 3>itself to correct it, to save that little one, or

367
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:40.519
<v Speaker 3>possibly if they're feeding, if they're starving, they've got to

368
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 3>go out. They have to get out there and do something,

369
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.960
<v Speaker 3>or they just make a basic mistake. Their mind's not there.

370
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.319
<v Speaker 3>I've seen that in animals, and it's rare. You take

371
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:51.920
<v Speaker 3>a buck, a swamp buck, they're going to get into

372
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.440
<v Speaker 3>the deepest area, the most isolated area, and they'll try

373
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.799
<v Speaker 3>to stay within that area for a long time. And

374
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:00.440
<v Speaker 3>you can tell by the antlers, especially, don't old buck.

375
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 3>The antlers are dark, and the reason they're dark is

376
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 3>that the sun doesn't hit them and bleach it out.

377
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:08.279
<v Speaker 3>So the younger ones, you'll see, they're more bleached because

378
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.720
<v Speaker 3>they're out there and they're hunting around. The swamp bucks

379
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.400
<v Speaker 3>are staying deep inside the shadows, so they're going to

380
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.319
<v Speaker 3>be making mistakes and that's when you're going to catch them.

381
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.839
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be a young one's food. Maybe mating season.

382
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.599
<v Speaker 3>We don't know anything about their mating habits yet, but

383
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.079
<v Speaker 3>that could be a possibility as well.

384
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Does the same question for you, Have you given thought

385
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.559
<v Speaker 1>to what was going on with the whistles? Why they

386
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>do these things that make it impossible not to see

387
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:35.279
<v Speaker 1>them or experience them.

388
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:39.200
<v Speaker 4>That's another great question what Troy said about the animal behavior, Like,

389
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 4>that's really what we're trying to identify, right, so we

390
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.559
<v Speaker 4>can predict what may happen at a certain location based

391
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.359
<v Speaker 4>on maybe experiences or frequency, or just the perfect combination

392
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:53.119
<v Speaker 4>of different data. I think there were two things that

393
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 4>probably went through. Remind at the time we started hearing

394
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.359
<v Speaker 4>the whistles, were the whistles drawing attention, so we went

395
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:04.000
<v Speaker 4>towards and not continued. Now, if we both had not

396
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:07.680
<v Speaker 4>that those were authentic, we still don't know. But we

397
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.559
<v Speaker 4>feel pretty darn good that they were sasquatched whistles because

398
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.200
<v Speaker 4>of the other things that followed then the other audio experience.

399
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.119
<v Speaker 4>But if we were on the same page of that moment,

400
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:20.279
<v Speaker 4>knowing the two of us, we were gone that direction.

401
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.440
<v Speaker 4>We were gone into the brush to see to figure

402
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:27.359
<v Speaker 4>out what that was. But there was hesitation because we

403
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.200
<v Speaker 4>obviously weren't sure. We're still trying to. We're learned who

404
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.799
<v Speaker 4>we are in the dynamics of each other and then

405
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.559
<v Speaker 4>stuff this deep right when it's dark and relying on

406
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.680
<v Speaker 4>minimal light to not cause attention to yourself. It's tough

407
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 4>to get through that area and very easily to get

408
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.400
<v Speaker 4>lost once you're in there because it's so back, so

409
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.400
<v Speaker 4>possibly getting us obviously paying attention to them and not

410
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.920
<v Speaker 4>what's lying ahead. But we ignore it, and then they

411
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.440
<v Speaker 4>keep doing it as a signal of hey, I'm here,

412
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 4>come towards me, or little ones get going off the

413
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.839
<v Speaker 4>trail turn around. But the transition and mark that Troy

414
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 4>mentioned that is vital because it literally was active steps

415
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:09.400
<v Speaker 4>this way in like a mark like where you saw

416
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:13.839
<v Speaker 4>something turn scuffed in that substrate going the other way

417
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 4>like a quick U turn. We don't often see that

418
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 4>type of mark on that trail to begin with. People

419
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.880
<v Speaker 4>weren't scuffing their boots, dragging anything. Bike tires are another thing,

420
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:24.640
<v Speaker 4>but you'd see tread in it. It wasn't that type

421
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:26.839
<v Speaker 4>of stuff. A lot of that going on at the

422
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:31.920
<v Speaker 4>same time. Plus this was right after hunting season ended

423
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 4>that time. It is also important because now they are

424
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.880
<v Speaker 4>aware of who the possible enemies are our douring hunting season.

425
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.880
<v Speaker 4>You've got us often wearing camo because we try to

426
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:46.880
<v Speaker 4>be as stealth as possible. Right, So you've got these

427
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:49.200
<v Speaker 4>ideas either go in stealth and see if you can

428
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:51.519
<v Speaker 4>find something, or go in and make noise and see

429
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:54.119
<v Speaker 4>if they get curious and confind you, or look for you.

430
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.000
<v Speaker 4>So we're trying to be as quiet as possible and

431
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:00.640
<v Speaker 4>as inconspicuous as possible. But hunting ends. So why are

432
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:02.799
<v Speaker 4>there people out there and camel at this time? Right?

433
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 4>There should be nobody out here that is wanting to

434
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.599
<v Speaker 4>find us or not to find them, find their pray. Right,

435
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:10.720
<v Speaker 4>we're taking their animals away from them. So all those

436
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:13.599
<v Speaker 4>factors come into plane and it literally paints its still

437
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:16.319
<v Speaker 4>of the story and you can just see it step

438
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:19.400
<v Speaker 4>by step. We still have so much to learn, Right,

439
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.319
<v Speaker 4>this isolated incident maybe not common for other people that

440
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:25.519
<v Speaker 4>hear whistles. It could have been something else that happened.

441
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 4>We've heard other whistles and not heard anything else on

442
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 4>other occasions, and we try to track those whistles and

443
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 4>then they move so fast, but it's not making sense.

444
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:37.519
<v Speaker 4>The whistle moves too fast for us to keep up

445
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:42.319
<v Speaker 4>with it. If it is indeed fact the sasquatch whistle.

446
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:45.960
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I think you pull in maybe the animal behavior,

447
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:50.079
<v Speaker 4>the human behavior, somebody protecting their loved ones. Now, if

448
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:52.200
<v Speaker 4>we got up there had no tracks and we ignored

449
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.200
<v Speaker 4>those whistles, we won't be having this conversation today because

450
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.839
<v Speaker 4>you probably want to talk voice about it. But the

451
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:01.519
<v Speaker 4>elements of how that sound is, just like the one

452
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:04.359
<v Speaker 4>of the three of us doing a classic whistle, was

453
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.440
<v Speaker 4>too common to deny. When you're a moment and you

454
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.720
<v Speaker 4>hear no birds and you hear no bugs, that's an

455
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:13.480
<v Speaker 4>odd filling as well, because you should be hearing something

456
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:17.319
<v Speaker 4>out there, anything out there, and what it's zach quiet

457
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:20.519
<v Speaker 4>and you're just hearing those noises. There's more to it

458
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:21.079
<v Speaker 4>as well.

459
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 3>In my opinion, I see it all the time.

460
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>It's got to be about the totality of the circumstances,

461
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.480
<v Speaker 1>one or two things happening independent of all the other stuff. Eh,

462
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you can chalk it up to whatever. But there's so

463
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 1>much stuff that's happened to me over the years that

464
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:37.359
<v Speaker 1>I've now had experiences, and I look back very much

465
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 1>like you were saying earlier, Troy, you let so much

466
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 1>stuff go because you weren't thinking about bigfoot. You weren't

467
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this. Again, it could have been something perfectly natural.

468
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:48.880
<v Speaker 1>But when you look back in retrospect, knowing what you

469
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.440
<v Speaker 1>know now hindsight's twenty twenty, it may have been more.

470
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 3>To that situation. I know.

471
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 1>That's not the only experiences you guys have had. Who

472
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>wants to talk about what happened to you next?

473
00:24:58.480 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 2>All right?

474
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.359
<v Speaker 3>We've also had very heavy breathing. You'll hear the sound

475
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:06.359
<v Speaker 3>of the intake of the air and the exhale. We've

476
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.319
<v Speaker 3>had several encounters with that. One time at night when

477
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:12.599
<v Speaker 3>it happened, we hear this going on. We're sitting there going,

478
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:16.640
<v Speaker 3>what the heck is this? Had no clue. Again, I

479
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 3>had my old jen I didn't upgrade as of yet.

480
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:22.880
<v Speaker 3>I turned on that IR light stopped. Now I was

481
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:25.519
<v Speaker 3>using the eight forty illuminator on that thing. So the

482
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 3>eight forty has that little red illumination that you can see.

483
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Our eyes can see, maybe their eyes can see even

484
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:34.680
<v Speaker 3>the nine forty we don't know yet. But it stopped,

485
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:39.759
<v Speaker 3>absolutely stopped and didn't start up again. That was bizarre.

486
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 3>It was interesting because the IR light whatever did they

487
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:47.359
<v Speaker 3>saw it and they'd stopped. Now, Deisy thought that was

488
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.920
<v Speaker 3>really close to us. I thought it was like, I

489
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 3>don't know, maybe seventy five to one hundred yards away,

490
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.400
<v Speaker 3>but she thought it was right there. She urged me

491
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:58.519
<v Speaker 3>at that point to pull my firearm and be ready

492
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:01.079
<v Speaker 3>because it sounded it was that close. I'm like, no,

493
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:04.640
<v Speaker 3>it's far enough away, being goofy or not paying attention.

494
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:07.319
<v Speaker 3>But I was into the moment and it was wild.

495
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Now we've also heard that again in another location. This

496
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.960
<v Speaker 3>time though along with it we heard breaking a brush

497
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:20.079
<v Speaker 3>with it again. It started. Matter of fact, we were

498
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 3>sitting there and we were just having a casual conversation

499
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.279
<v Speaker 3>relatively open area across an older path into some very

500
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:30.799
<v Speaker 3>thick growth in that side. That's where we heard the

501
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.359
<v Speaker 3>heavy breathing. The breaking of the brush was going on.

502
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:38.079
<v Speaker 3>That stopped us. I went down the road a little

503
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.000
<v Speaker 3>bit to see if I could see it. Didn't see it.

504
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.599
<v Speaker 3>It stopped. It's so frustrating because it's right there and

505
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:47.799
<v Speaker 3>you don't see it. We really want to get eyes

506
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:50.119
<v Speaker 3>on this. We've got whistles and more it des can

507
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:51.039
<v Speaker 3>tell you more about this.

508
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:54.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, both of those experience with the heavy breathing. The

509
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 4>first experience with that one was like two weeks after

510
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 4>we came across the morning of the tracks, so the

511
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 4>timing was very close to our first experience with interesting

512
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 4>audio and interesting footprints. That one really did scary. I

513
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.680
<v Speaker 4>remember dropping my recorder, tramping on my recorder. You'll hear

514
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.440
<v Speaker 4>people say it reverberates you. It did not do that.

515
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:22.920
<v Speaker 4>I want to clarify, but my heart had been going

516
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.000
<v Speaker 4>so fast that it felt like it was in my throat.

517
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:31.079
<v Speaker 4>Just the whole experience was very scary, especially hearing something

518
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 4>which I did so was very close to us. The

519
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:38.559
<v Speaker 4>air even felt like something was close to us. Thinking

520
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:43.039
<v Speaker 4>we may get attacked at this point, I'm not thinking sasquatch.

521
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking animal. I'm thinking something is going to attack

522
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 4>us that way. I didn't happen to my head that

523
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:50.799
<v Speaker 4>it was sasquatch. It was more of a fight or

524
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:56.640
<v Speaker 4>flight moment. The second occasion was during the day twelve

525
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:59.359
<v Speaker 4>one in the afternoon. That was the second thing Troy

526
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:03.359
<v Speaker 4>just mentioned. Before we got to this location where we

527
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:05.640
<v Speaker 4>started just having a heart to heart, having some water

528
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:09.039
<v Speaker 4>to take a break, I had made a call. I've

529
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:11.039
<v Speaker 4>never done a call during the day, and I thought

530
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.880
<v Speaker 4>what to heck, I'll just make a call. Let's do

531
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:15.680
<v Speaker 4>a call, because I love reviewing audio. I love having

532
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:18.200
<v Speaker 4>the opportunity to look at it and see if I

533
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:21.279
<v Speaker 4>can identify anything that seems to be an outlier of

534
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.880
<v Speaker 4>what we usually see or hear. It had to be.

535
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:27.480
<v Speaker 4>With send fifteen twenty seconds, we get two of these

536
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:32.880
<v Speaker 4>really long howl calls that immediately follow from a pack

537
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:37.200
<v Speaker 4>of coyotes. Really allowed chatter read coyotes. So the first

538
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.519
<v Speaker 4>and second calls may have been the coyotes, but they

539
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:44.039
<v Speaker 4>were uniquely different than the pack coming together at calling.

540
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:46.279
<v Speaker 4>So either I woke the coyotes up with that call

541
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:52.599
<v Speaker 4>or they were two different possible species. Even comparing those

542
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.920
<v Speaker 4>first two long calls, we haven't heard that since in

543
00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 4>coyotes we usually hear a similar pattern and they're ad

544
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:02.880
<v Speaker 4>but they do have how many different noises that they make,

545
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:05.079
<v Speaker 4>so it could have been that. But the point making

546
00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 4>with this is this all happened on that second time

547
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:09.000
<v Speaker 4>with the heavy breathing. It all happened on the same

548
00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:12.599
<v Speaker 4>day with coyotes going off, us hearing the movement through

549
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:17.039
<v Speaker 4>the trees, us thinking once again, is that an animal?

550
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 4>Is that a predator or a danger? What an interesting

551
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.119
<v Speaker 4>point with That is when he started walking up to

552
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.480
<v Speaker 4>see if you could identify what was coming through the

553
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:30.799
<v Speaker 4>tree line. He said, does pull your bear mace? He said,

554
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.519
<v Speaker 4>take the clip off. I got it out. He started

555
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:36.240
<v Speaker 4>walking up with his hand done. As soon as I

556
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:42.079
<v Speaker 4>pulled the clip off the bear mace, everything stopped. No

557
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:47.039
<v Speaker 4>more motion, no more heavy breathing. Everything just stopped. He

558
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.640
<v Speaker 4>started comparing those notes. Okay, if it was an animal

559
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:51.559
<v Speaker 4>and they thought somebody had a gun and we were

560
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:54.519
<v Speaker 4>the predators, would they stop? Okay, yep, that would make sense.

561
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see we're right

562
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>back after the east messages.

563
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:08.640
<v Speaker 4>Or would they be more intelligent another being or whatever.

564
00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 4>How would they've reacted to that? Would they have stood

565
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.640
<v Speaker 4>still and not moved, or other animals would have tried

566
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.799
<v Speaker 4>to spurry away? While that goes through your minds as well.

567
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:20.680
<v Speaker 4>So those were of all the day experiences, and we

568
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 4>don't usually have very many day experiences. Most of our

569
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:26.519
<v Speaker 4>stuff happens very late at night for very early in

570
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.240
<v Speaker 4>the morning. That was probably one of the more unique

571
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:31.839
<v Speaker 4>with the sounds and the movement, and then of course

572
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:36.519
<v Speaker 4>the heavy breathing. We've had things at dusk whistles again

573
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:39.039
<v Speaker 4>that we're trying to track and we think we're making

574
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:43.000
<v Speaker 4>progress out of nowhere. Mother features send you a pop

575
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:49.039
<v Speaker 4>up storm and you get completely rained out. When you

576
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:52.240
<v Speaker 4>look at the radar under a tarp under a big

577
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.680
<v Speaker 4>oak tree and you see the radars literally just right

578
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 4>over to coop with the two of you, it was

579
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:00.160
<v Speaker 4>like a it may not be your time then to

580
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:02.920
<v Speaker 4>find whatever that noise is coming from. We've had some

581
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:07.480
<v Speaker 4>of those interesting whistles as well. More recently we've had

582
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.240
<v Speaker 4>tree knocks, pretty prominent tree knocks, and this was three

583
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:16.680
<v Speaker 4>four in the morning. We do a lot of things surrounding,

584
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:18.880
<v Speaker 4>like it said, the night or the early morning outings.

585
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.079
<v Speaker 4>And if we do a night outing, we're staying over.

586
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:24.799
<v Speaker 4>It's a tarp above you, maybe a tarp below ya,

587
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.079
<v Speaker 4>couple camping chairs and all of your equipment. You're just

588
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:30.839
<v Speaker 4>hosted up there waiting to see what the night life

589
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.440
<v Speaker 4>brings you. Often those are the most productive and fruitful.

590
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:38.400
<v Speaker 4>We've had trees fall, Brian. We know, like trees fall

591
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.240
<v Speaker 4>all the time, it's odd or rare that people hear

592
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:44.039
<v Speaker 4>them fall. We've had a lot of trees falled very

593
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:46.720
<v Speaker 4>close to us. More than we can count, so that

594
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:48.960
<v Speaker 4>maybe based on the amount of times we're out there,

595
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:52.200
<v Speaker 4>we do the data and the percentage is reasonable. Hearing

596
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.319
<v Speaker 4>trees fall, very big trees fall around you once the

597
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.559
<v Speaker 4>head scratcher as well. We possibly caught a say that

598
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:04.359
<v Speaker 4>very strongly on Ohio how a couple of weekends ago,

599
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.519
<v Speaker 4>way in the distance. When you're dissecting that audio again,

600
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.319
<v Speaker 4>if you heard it live and then you go back

601
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 4>and listen again, you're just trying to piece out all

602
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:14.400
<v Speaker 4>together to see what's what. But that was another interesting

603
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.039
<v Speaker 4>that I heard a lot of calls that we couldn't define.

604
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:19.880
<v Speaker 4>At some point we thought we heard people talking. The

605
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.720
<v Speaker 4>errors are remote, but it's not as remote as when

606
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:24.920
<v Speaker 4>you're in the Pacific Northwest like it is Florida. We've

607
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:27.839
<v Speaker 4>had a lot, but we just have not had that visual.

608
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.960
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting you bring up the trees falling because I've

609
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:33.599
<v Speaker 1>had weird situations here on our property in North Carolina

610
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:38.319
<v Speaker 1>where I have captured them on audio very close to

611
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the audio recorder. I have searched high and low, and

612
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I cannot find the tree that I recorded falling clearly

613
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:50.640
<v Speaker 1>on the audio. And what sounds like I think I

614
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:54.680
<v Speaker 1>hear what sounds like bipedal footsteps on the audio as well.

615
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:57.839
<v Speaker 1>I can't confirm that. All I confirm is it's definitely

616
00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:00.119
<v Speaker 1>the sound of a tree coming down. If you do

617
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.200
<v Speaker 1>this long enough and you talk to enough people and

618
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you ask the right questions. In general, you can ask

619
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:08.519
<v Speaker 1>tons of people who go out in the woods. We

620
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:10.680
<v Speaker 1>live in the woods, so it happens more often for

621
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:13.000
<v Speaker 1>us because we're here twenty four hours a day, seven

622
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a

623
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 1>year in the middle of nowhere in the woods, we

624
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:21.319
<v Speaker 1>hear trees falling. But you can ask people. If you

625
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:24.920
<v Speaker 1>ask the average person who considers themselves a hiker or

626
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:28.960
<v Speaker 1>outdoors person, whatever, how many times they've actually heard a

627
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:33.000
<v Speaker 1>tree fall in the forest, I guarantee you the number

628
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:35.359
<v Speaker 1>is going to be much lower than you think it

629
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:39.119
<v Speaker 1>would be. That in and of itself doesn't mean a lot.

630
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>But when you're having these experiences where you guys are

631
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:45.559
<v Speaker 1>going out ten times, and maybe two of those times

632
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>you're hearing trees fall close to you in the middle

633
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>of the night, that to me is important data. I

634
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't dismiss that so much out of hand. You guys

635
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:57.680
<v Speaker 1>are anybody else listening because I think there may be

636
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:00.240
<v Speaker 1>something to it's what I'm saying. I know you may

637
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>not have had a siding, but don't you believe at

638
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:04.559
<v Speaker 1>some point in time you might have caught a glimpse

639
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:05.359
<v Speaker 1>of one of these things.

640
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:10.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, reflect back on various different experiences, it's hard to

641
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:13.599
<v Speaker 4>process that and hard to I don't even know say

642
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:17.920
<v Speaker 4>it out loud, just because I don't want to mislead anybody,

643
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:19.760
<v Speaker 4>and I don't want people to think it's so easy

644
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 4>going out there just to see and piece it all together.

645
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:26.119
<v Speaker 4>So it's hard to I don't know sure that those experiences,

646
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:29.800
<v Speaker 4>but I definitely think that there's moments there was more

647
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:32.559
<v Speaker 4>to what was going on. It's maybe a glimpse of

648
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:35.159
<v Speaker 4>something real quick. You kind of wonder, is it like

649
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:40.559
<v Speaker 4>your third eye? Is it something you're hoping that's part

650
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:42.880
<v Speaker 4>of this experience you're going through that kind of make

651
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:46.639
<v Speaker 4>it even brighter than it was before. But nothing definitive

652
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:51.000
<v Speaker 4>to say that's exactly what I saw now. Emotions and ceilings.

653
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:53.800
<v Speaker 4>I know it's hard. You can't tie emotions and feelings

654
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:57.519
<v Speaker 4>into scientific research. I get that, but the more you

655
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:00.800
<v Speaker 4>go out there and do this, the more you get

656
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:06.400
<v Speaker 4>connected to every form of nature that you do notice

657
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:11.000
<v Speaker 4>the subtle differences, like we've been filtering through this or

658
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:15.320
<v Speaker 4>streaming through this conversation. You get way more comfortable when

659
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 4>you establish that comfort and that connectivity to nature. I

660
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:22.400
<v Speaker 4>feel you're more apt to have an experience and see

661
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.159
<v Speaker 4>something because you've developed yourself into that person that really

662
00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:30.000
<v Speaker 4>wants to be somebody that has that and can share

663
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:33.320
<v Speaker 4>and help others through whatever those moments were for those

664
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:38.719
<v Speaker 4>that have had experiences, but also help whatever the world's

665
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:41.760
<v Speaker 4>going to do when and if this creature, this life form,

666
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:45.800
<v Speaker 4>whatever it may be, is discovered, be protective and it's

667
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:49.480
<v Speaker 4>going to probably rewrite our history. So there's a lot

668
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:51.920
<v Speaker 4>more to it when you think back of it. So

669
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to disclose more than I should, but

670
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:59.800
<v Speaker 4>definitely I think there's been moments where you feel that

671
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.920
<v Speaker 4>it's there. It's just did you see what you thought

672
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:03.400
<v Speaker 4>you saw?

673
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:04.039
<v Speaker 3>Jory.

674
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:05.719
<v Speaker 1>I want to kick it back to you for a second.

675
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.840
<v Speaker 1>And this is one of these questions that comes up

676
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.280
<v Speaker 1>often on the show because there are camps in this

677
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.239
<v Speaker 1>There's the Flesh and Blood camp, there's the WU camp,

678
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the high strangeness.

679
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Everybody has their approach to this.

680
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I've made no qualms about it. Everybody who knows me

681
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:22.519
<v Speaker 1>and listens to this show knows where I am on that.

682
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:26.679
<v Speaker 1>But my feelings about that has changed based on my

683
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:30.679
<v Speaker 1>own experiences. I am a very flesh and blood scientific

684
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:35.599
<v Speaker 1>approach to the subject. But when you do have strange

685
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:40.199
<v Speaker 1>experiences in relation with these sightings or in relation to

686
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:43.920
<v Speaker 1>experiences with these creatures, I don't really know what box

687
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to put that in, or if there is a box

688
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:48.920
<v Speaker 1>to put it in. Frankly, glowing eyes, some of the

689
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:54.199
<v Speaker 1>weirder super natural superabilities that these creatures seem to have.

690
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Where do you fall on that spectrum. I'm certainly not

691
00:36:57.639 --> 00:36:59.800
<v Speaker 1>asking you to plan a flag here by any means,

692
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:02.920
<v Speaker 1>but I'm curious about your approach to this. Obviously, it's

693
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a very scientific method type approach that it seems that

694
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.119
<v Speaker 1>you are taking in the woods. But are you open

695
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.920
<v Speaker 1>to these other weirder, stranger, high strangeness sort of experiences

696
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and where does that fall on your radar when you're

697
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:18.079
<v Speaker 1>doing this type of research.

698
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:22.199
<v Speaker 3>I like the question because I was an engineer most

699
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.400
<v Speaker 3>of my life. Getting into this really had to break

700
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:26.960
<v Speaker 3>me out of some of that be a little bit

701
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.440
<v Speaker 3>more open minded. Now, I am a flesh and blood guy.

702
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 3>If you really want to nail it all down, We've

703
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:37.400
<v Speaker 3>got a couple videos PG Film, Freeman Film. We one

704
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:39.920
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent sure they are the real deal. They're the

705
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:44.519
<v Speaker 3>best we've got, so I accept them. The other things

706
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.599
<v Speaker 3>that we have, our footprints. Footprints are left, they're solid.

707
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:50.960
<v Speaker 3>There's something that has been left behind by something, whether

708
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:54.079
<v Speaker 3>it's a hoax or whether it's the real animal, that's

709
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:56.360
<v Speaker 3>what we've got. It's up to us to make sure

710
00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:59.320
<v Speaker 3>that we do our due diligence on that track, to

711
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.320
<v Speaker 3>make sure that it is not a hoax. That we've

712
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:06.440
<v Speaker 3>got the real dealsplayed toes. That's not always the case, right,

713
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:09.639
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes they're not splayed, but there's certain telltale signs that

714
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:12.039
<v Speaker 3>you can look on their movements up to toes, the

715
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:14.760
<v Speaker 3>shape of the heels, the mid tarsl some of the

716
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:16.960
<v Speaker 3>other things as well. Then again, most of this stuff

717
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.440
<v Speaker 3>is theory. So once we get into maybe I don't

718
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:24.199
<v Speaker 3>want to say paranormal, but some odd things, it's still evidence.

719
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:27.639
<v Speaker 3>So I put that in a box over here, and

720
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:30.880
<v Speaker 3>if I get enough, if I get enough evidence that

721
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:33.440
<v Speaker 3>goes into that box, I have to look at that

722
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:37.960
<v Speaker 3>box there's no question. There's no question being a scientist

723
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:41.360
<v Speaker 3>or an engineer. If you've got evidence and don't know

724
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:43.920
<v Speaker 3>where to put it, but it's there, you have to

725
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:47.880
<v Speaker 3>look at it. You can't deny it. So yes, I'm

726
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:51.320
<v Speaker 3>flesh and blood. I believe in hardcore evidence. However, if

727
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:55.199
<v Speaker 3>there is a trend, and it might be paranormal or whatever,

728
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:57.400
<v Speaker 3>it's still a trend that needs to be looked at.

729
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:01.079
<v Speaker 3>So that's where I land. Some people are much better

730
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:04.079
<v Speaker 3>at that than I am, a lot better. I try

731
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:06.880
<v Speaker 3>to stick to what I'm good at that. I would

732
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:09.440
<v Speaker 3>probably go out to other resources if I do have

733
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:12.599
<v Speaker 3>trends or evidence along that line, and pull on them

734
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:15.199
<v Speaker 3>to help me identify what I'm looking at.

735
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Does the same question for you? Where are you on

736
00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the high strangeness and.

737
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:22.119
<v Speaker 5>The wu Having grown up the way I did with

738
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:26.159
<v Speaker 5>just that open minded look at life, thinking of other

739
00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:29.719
<v Speaker 5>things that are maybe unworldly per se that we don't

740
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.639
<v Speaker 5>see on a daily basis, I definitely don't close any.

741
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:36.719
<v Speaker 4>Of those doors off, because we've had things odd happen

742
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:38.559
<v Speaker 4>to us out there in the woods as well that

743
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:42.440
<v Speaker 4>we can't explain that sometimes make it even scarier than

744
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.760
<v Speaker 4>the things you are hoping you can explain. But when

745
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:48.079
<v Speaker 4>it comes down to what is going to get the

746
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:50.760
<v Speaker 4>attention and what is going to be able to be

747
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:53.360
<v Speaker 4>analyzed and studied, it's going to be the stuff in

748
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:58.360
<v Speaker 4>black and white. I think if this life form we'll

749
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:01.119
<v Speaker 4>call it, is some in the mix of all of this,

750
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:06.280
<v Speaker 4>all these oddities slipping in and out of possible different worlds,

751
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:11.119
<v Speaker 4>if there's truly something unbelievable that it's there one moment

752
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:13.719
<v Speaker 4>and gone the next, how are we ever going to

753
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:18.400
<v Speaker 4>prove somebody like that. It just seems so unrealistic, right

754
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:21.400
<v Speaker 4>if you put all your efforts in that area, I

755
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:24.960
<v Speaker 4>just don't see how that kid lead to something proving

756
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:27.440
<v Speaker 4>it exists, because it just seems like you don't even

757
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:29.559
<v Speaker 4>have a method for that. It's come a long way

758
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:32.639
<v Speaker 4>with that type of the blue or hide strangeness piece

759
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:35.000
<v Speaker 4>of things, but there's really no way we're going to

760
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:38.000
<v Speaker 4>be proving anything like that. Lists We have work we're

761
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:41.440
<v Speaker 4>doing with physics and things like that, but the scientific

762
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:46.440
<v Speaker 4>piece of that makes it just more credible, easier to document,

763
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:48.920
<v Speaker 4>and we just have more of that type of information

764
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:52.760
<v Speaker 4>that we can share and collaborate with others across the country.

765
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:56.519
<v Speaker 4>Of not the world, but those oddities they are, they

766
00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:59.239
<v Speaker 4>could be something completely different, like for us to think

767
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:02.760
<v Speaker 4>that we're the only things that exist, the who we're

768
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:05.400
<v Speaker 4>talking about, like, we'll have to believe in something that's

769
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:08.440
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more what doesn't meet the eye, right.

770
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:11.960
<v Speaker 4>I take everything into consideration, but we know how far

771
00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:14.880
<v Speaker 4>that's going to get this field based on what we've

772
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:16.880
<v Speaker 4>seen so far. Now, if the field is going to

773
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:19.719
<v Speaker 4>take a shift and you've got, like you're saying, these

774
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:24.440
<v Speaker 4>three defined unique approaches, I'd like to see how some

775
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:27.519
<v Speaker 4>of the others stacks up that I've not seen anything

776
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.960
<v Speaker 4>that can really hold as credible when it comes to

777
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:34.760
<v Speaker 4>the high strangers or the weirdness or whose side of things.

778
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Let me go back to you, Troy on some of

779
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the evidence that we've talked about. You mentioned the Framan footage.

780
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:43.119
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned footprint. I have gone through this myself. I've

781
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:50.280
<v Speaker 1>cast probably six or seven individual feet and or pairs

782
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:53.639
<v Speaker 1>of footprints on and around our property here in North

783
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Carolina over the last four years. I held on to

784
00:41:57.199 --> 00:41:59.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that evidence for a long time before

785
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I put it out there because I was fully aware

786
00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:06.559
<v Speaker 1>of the fact that I am the Bigfoot podcast guy

787
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:09.320
<v Speaker 1>who just happens to buy forty acres in the middle

788
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:12.840
<v Speaker 1>of nowhere in North Carolina, and oh now he appears

789
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:17.159
<v Speaker 1>to have bigfoot activity on his property. Winkwink, nod nod. Wow,

790
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:18.119
<v Speaker 1>imagine that.

791
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:19.840
<v Speaker 3>Dot com. I'm aware of that.

792
00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:21.800
<v Speaker 1>So I held on to that for a while because

793
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the last set that I cast, I think it was October, a.

794
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Couple of years ago.

795
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Now they were literally too good in my opinion, perfect

796
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:33.159
<v Speaker 1>beautiful footprints. I was able to cast them both, and

797
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:36.599
<v Speaker 1>I was absolutely stoked to the point I think I

798
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:39.559
<v Speaker 1>told four people right because I knew what people were

799
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:43.480
<v Speaker 1>going to say once I decided to share that, because

800
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I've had that happen in the past when I've had

801
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:47.760
<v Speaker 1>evidence out there. Well, here's where I'm going with my

802
00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:52.440
<v Speaker 1>long winded segue into this. Once I put those out publicly,

803
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the first thing people said to me was have they

804
00:42:55.360 --> 00:43:00.000
<v Speaker 1>been verified as sasquatch footprints? And my answer, because I'm

805
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:02.559
<v Speaker 1>smart ass, was oh, where does one go for a

806
00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:08.320
<v Speaker 1>verification on an unknown, unproven, undocumented creature that's not supposed

807
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:11.880
<v Speaker 1>to exist? Where does one do that verification? I knew

808
00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:15.280
<v Speaker 1>what they were talking about. Two names immediately has Jeff

809
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Meldrum or Cliff Brickman examined these footprints. No, they haven't,

810
00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:23.559
<v Speaker 1>but I mailed them to Cliff. He was in the

811
00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:27.320
<v Speaker 1>process of doing that. Whatever Cliff has Jeff's going to

812
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:29.679
<v Speaker 1>look at. I've even posted it on my social media.

813
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Cliff did this.

814
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Really cool three D model of the footprints the cast

815
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that I sent him. He texted it to me. I

816
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.199
<v Speaker 1>was stoked to see it. He sent that to Jeff.

817
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Jeff's looked at him. They both think they're legitimate Sasquatch footprints. Okay,

818
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:48.719
<v Speaker 1>now what it's been verified. I've seen a trend with evidence,

819
00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:50.079
<v Speaker 1>and I'll be honest with you. Since I had my

820
00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:52.880
<v Speaker 1>experiences last summer. I got to see these things three

821
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:56.320
<v Speaker 1>times in two days. Wow, I know they're real. I'm

822
00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:59.119
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent all in. I was ten feet away

823
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:02.480
<v Speaker 1>from this creature. I know what I saw, so I

824
00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:05.559
<v Speaker 1>don't really care about evidence anymore. I know that sounds horrible.

825
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.760
<v Speaker 1>People are like, what do you mean? I do because

826
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I like seeing it. I love very much like Udisi.

827
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I am an audio person. I love to listen to audio.

828
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I get a ton of audio that people send me.

829
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know any more than anybody.

830
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:18.960
<v Speaker 3>Else about it. I just think it's cool and I

831
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:19.760
<v Speaker 3>want to listen to it.

832
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:23.559
<v Speaker 1>I think we're at this point where people are now

833
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:26.800
<v Speaker 1>using AI. We've done entire shows about this over on

834
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:33.960
<v Speaker 1>that Bigfoot podcast. People are using AI for potential audio, photographs, video,

835
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and footprint casts. I've had arguments with people. People looked

836
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:41.280
<v Speaker 1>at me like I was crazy when I said I

837
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:43.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't really give a shit about people looking at my

838
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:47.639
<v Speaker 1>tracks because I was confident that I didn't make them.

839
00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Nobody else came on my property to make them. I

840
00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:53.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't need that for myself, but other people need that validation.

841
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:57.159
<v Speaker 1>And stay tuned for more Sasquatch out to see. We'll

842
00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:05.119
<v Speaker 1>be right back after these messages. I'm seeing this trend

843
00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:08.039
<v Speaker 1>of people thinking AI is the end all be all

844
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:10.079
<v Speaker 1>to solve all of our problems when it comes to

845
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Bigfoot and frankly everything else in the world. But I'm

846
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:17.199
<v Speaker 1>very cautious because I've done my own experiments. I've ran

847
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:21.079
<v Speaker 1>audio from other people through AI programs that I use

848
00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:24.960
<v Speaker 1>on a daily basis for the show, creating show notes, visuals,

849
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:27.480
<v Speaker 1>those kind of things. I get a result from AI.

850
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:31.079
<v Speaker 1>But if you alter the prompt just slightly, you'll get

851
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:34.079
<v Speaker 1>a different result. You can tailor this to what you

852
00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:37.559
<v Speaker 1>want it to be. Basically, I've had this argument with

853
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Steve Coles, the Squatch Detective. Not really an argument. Steve's

854
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:42.159
<v Speaker 1>a friend of mine. We don't really argue, We just

855
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:44.280
<v Speaker 1>disagree sometimes because.

856
00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:45.079
<v Speaker 3>He uses this a lot.

857
00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I looked at it, like you said earlier about the footprints.

858
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:52.559
<v Speaker 1>What if it doesn't have displayed toes, can it still

859
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:55.480
<v Speaker 1>be a Sasquatch print? What if the heel doesn't look

860
00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the same as mine, but it could still be a

861
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Sasquatch print. I've been out in Missouri. I'm actually doing

862
00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the Ozark Mountain Bigfoot Conference. I'll be a special guest

863
00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:08.039
<v Speaker 1>speaker there and we're doing a camp out after that

864
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:11.199
<v Speaker 1>here in a couple of months out in Missouri, Shane

865
00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Carpenter at the four hundred, he and Randy Harrington have

866
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:18.800
<v Speaker 1>cast tons of footprints. Guess what they're casting. They started

867
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:22.880
<v Speaker 1>out casting six to seven inch footprints very similar to

868
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:26.880
<v Speaker 1>what you guys found in Florida, with a clear arch

869
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to the foot. It's not a mid tarsl break. It

870
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:34.480
<v Speaker 1>is an almost human arch on these feet, and people

871
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:40.079
<v Speaker 1>including Jeff Meldrum have called bullshit basically on some of

872
00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:44.760
<v Speaker 1>these footprints or these casts, because they don't meet what

873
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:49.920
<v Speaker 1>is the expectation of what a sasquatch footprint looks like

874
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:51.880
<v Speaker 1>or is supposed to look like. I said all that

875
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to say I think we have to be very careful

876
00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:57.960
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to evidence and how we evaluate it.

877
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:02.199
<v Speaker 1>There are no experts in bigfoot period. Doctor Jeff Meldrum

878
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:07.199
<v Speaker 1>is an expert in anthropology and foot morphology for bipedal creatures,

879
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:11.679
<v Speaker 1>including apes, hominids, homin ends, but he's not a big

880
00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:14.519
<v Speaker 1>foot expert. I love Cliff to death. Cliff as a

881
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:16.280
<v Speaker 1>dear friend of mine. He wrote the forward to my

882
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:19.199
<v Speaker 1>first book. But Cliff is not a big foot expert.

883
00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:21.599
<v Speaker 1>And Cliff will be the first person to tell you

884
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:23.920
<v Speaker 1>he's not a big foot expert, because when I was

885
00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:26.599
<v Speaker 1>sending my cast, I had a phone conversation with him

886
00:47:26.599 --> 00:47:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, the people are wanting to know

887
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:31.039
<v Speaker 1>what you have to say, and he was like, you

888
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:33.440
<v Speaker 1>know they're real. You knew that were real before you

889
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:36.800
<v Speaker 1>sent them to me. What does it mean if I

890
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:39.679
<v Speaker 1>give you my blessing or if Jeff says they're real?

891
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Then what we just know what we already knew collectively.

892
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Where are you on the evidence? I guess, Troy is

893
00:47:46.400 --> 00:47:49.039
<v Speaker 1>my question for you, how do you feel about the evaluation?

894
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Because you could very well go out tomorrow and cast

895
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.280
<v Speaker 1>a footprint that you send to Jeff Meldrum and he says,

896
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:57.199
<v Speaker 1>that's bullshit. It's a person's footprint, and you know it's

897
00:47:57.239 --> 00:47:59.559
<v Speaker 1>not whether you're collecting it or other people. What is

898
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:03.920
<v Speaker 1>your litmus test the way you approach evaluation of evidence

899
00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:05.920
<v Speaker 1>for yourself, Bright, It's.

900
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Exactly what you said earlier. You have to take the

901
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:14.039
<v Speaker 3>full experience of what had occurred to really identify what

902
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:17.079
<v Speaker 3>the evidence really means. I think what I'm saying is

903
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:21.159
<v Speaker 3>that it's just not a single footprint. Like our experience.

904
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:24.280
<v Speaker 3>We had a footprint. We had nineteen of them, including

905
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:28.920
<v Speaker 3>knuckle tracks, but we also had the whistles. The whistles

906
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:32.079
<v Speaker 3>moved along with us. They continue past us. Once we

907
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:35.079
<v Speaker 3>stopped and we focused on the tracks. We had that break.

908
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.000
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't a bird that broke that branch. That was

909
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:40.159
<v Speaker 3>a big old branch. You could hear it. Something stepped

910
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:42.760
<v Speaker 3>on it, and I think it made a mistake. I

911
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:45.920
<v Speaker 3>think it stepped. It wasn't thinking, and it broke that

912
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:47.840
<v Speaker 3>branch when it stepped on it because it was thinking

913
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:51.960
<v Speaker 3>about the little ones. So you take all that evidence together,

914
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:54.719
<v Speaker 3>you have to use all that evidence to come up

915
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:58.000
<v Speaker 3>with what you had. You really do. There's an area

916
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:01.000
<v Speaker 3>that I've gone to many times that I've had whistles

917
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:03.320
<v Speaker 3>in this area, and the whistles will move on me

918
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:06.079
<v Speaker 3>and they'll disappear. There'll be a soft whistle, lout whistle

919
00:49:06.519 --> 00:49:09.400
<v Speaker 3>as the whistles will move away from me. Right, So

920
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:14.719
<v Speaker 3>it's not a bird obviously, putting that evidence all together,

921
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:19.440
<v Speaker 3>why does it keep on moving? Why is it disappear

922
00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:22.599
<v Speaker 3>for two weeks, three weeks and as we go further

923
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:26.400
<v Speaker 3>deeper into the woods, we hear it again and then

924
00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:29.719
<v Speaker 3>it disappears from that area. So that whole scenario it

925
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:34.079
<v Speaker 3>took many weeks and months over that time to develop. Okay,

926
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:37.199
<v Speaker 3>these whistles are moving, they don't come back to where

927
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:41.559
<v Speaker 3>they're originally from. They appear that it's the same or

928
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:44.239
<v Speaker 3>very similar to the whistle that we heard that early morning.

929
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:48.159
<v Speaker 3>So if you look at that evidence as well, we've

930
00:49:48.199 --> 00:49:51.760
<v Speaker 3>got a trend there or one hundred set No, but

931
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:55.239
<v Speaker 3>it's still evidence, and we're keeping that. I can't throw

932
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:57.719
<v Speaker 3>it out. I have to use it, and that's what

933
00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:00.679
<v Speaker 3>we should all do. But look for trends. Look for

934
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:05.079
<v Speaker 3>that evidence, whether it's crazy or not. Some people say

935
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:07.559
<v Speaker 3>some of this stuff is crazy, right, But if it's

936
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:09.920
<v Speaker 3>a trend, it's a trend. You have to take all

937
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:13.960
<v Speaker 3>that stuff into consideration instead of just throwing it out.

938
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:16.440
<v Speaker 3>And I agree, right, there's no experts in this. I

939
00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:19.599
<v Speaker 3>have heard that they will have an arch just like humans.

940
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Some of us have flat feet, some of us, as

941
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:25.199
<v Speaker 3>I understand it, they have a mid tarsel. I don't

942
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:27.159
<v Speaker 3>know enough about the foot to be able to say

943
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:30.280
<v Speaker 3>anything about that, but that's what they say, and I

944
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:32.800
<v Speaker 3>just keep that in my mind. When we come upon that,

945
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:35.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to reach out to people a foot expert

946
00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:38.199
<v Speaker 3>or someone else as a biologist, and we'll talk and

947
00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:40.760
<v Speaker 3>try to put all that information together and try to

948
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:43.800
<v Speaker 3>grow it from there. I think that is the best approach.

949
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:46.519
<v Speaker 1>The other thing I was gonna say in my diatribe

950
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:48.719
<v Speaker 1>with audio as well, it's the same thing with AI.

951
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:51.639
<v Speaker 3>Steve was using AI and I've done this myself.

952
00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:55.519
<v Speaker 1>I've put audio clips into these AI programs and it

953
00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:59.559
<v Speaker 1>comes back it's possibly an unknown ape species, or it's

954
00:50:59.559 --> 00:51:03.320
<v Speaker 1>an unknow hominid of some sort. I've done those experiments

955
00:51:03.400 --> 00:51:06.320
<v Speaker 1>on my property where I've made the vocalizations. I'll go

956
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:09.320
<v Speaker 1>do pant hoots and other things on my property. Record it,

957
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:11.920
<v Speaker 1>bring it back, put it through. It says the same thing. I,

958
00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:15.880
<v Speaker 1>according to some of my AI programs, am an undiscovered primate.

959
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:17.079
<v Speaker 3>So there you go.

960
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:19.559
<v Speaker 1>You're having an interview right now according to AI, with

961
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:23.119
<v Speaker 1>an undiscovered primate. That's another reason in my opinion, to

962
00:51:23.239 --> 00:51:26.800
<v Speaker 1>be careful in dismissing whole cloth.

963
00:51:26.920 --> 00:51:27.519
<v Speaker 3>Is what I'm saying.

964
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I think there needs to be a different approach to

965
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:33.960
<v Speaker 1>evaluating people's evidence because I think we're so quick to

966
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:36.360
<v Speaker 1>throw the baby out with the bathwater if this person

967
00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:40.199
<v Speaker 1>says this, or that person says that, or old AI

968
00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:43.280
<v Speaker 1>is the end all, be all and says this. I

969
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:46.760
<v Speaker 1>think it's the totality of the circumstances, just like experiences

970
00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:50.280
<v Speaker 1>or encounters or whatever you're talking about when you're measuring evidence.

971
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:54.039
<v Speaker 1>So I'm always cautioning people, at least you listen to

972
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:56.719
<v Speaker 1>this show, because most people come at this from I

973
00:51:56.719 --> 00:52:00.079
<v Speaker 1>think the right way when they're evaluating evidence. But but

974
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:04.679
<v Speaker 1>it's so difficult as things like technology continue to advance

975
00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:08.519
<v Speaker 1>and technology is fantastic. Technology makes my job so much

976
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:11.079
<v Speaker 1>easier than it was just a couple of years ago

977
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:15.400
<v Speaker 1>doing this full time, but it makes mistakes. It's not perfect.

978
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:18.840
<v Speaker 1>You have to have that human element. And I think

979
00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:21.400
<v Speaker 1>when people are using AI, and I think that's where

980
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:23.320
<v Speaker 1>this is going to trend to, people are going to

981
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:27.159
<v Speaker 1>pop up an image. Okay, images, if it's created by

982
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:30.159
<v Speaker 1>AI is going to be able to know that immediately,

983
00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:36.920
<v Speaker 1>but even audio and certainly putting in models or photographs

984
00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:43.559
<v Speaker 1>of potential casts of bigfoot foot prints. AI doesn't know

985
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:45.960
<v Speaker 1>what to do with that. Again, I think you have

986
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:48.639
<v Speaker 1>to fall back on the science of someone who knows

987
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the makeup the morphology of a foot, whether it be

988
00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:54.159
<v Speaker 1>a primate, whether it be a great ape, whether it

989
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:57.559
<v Speaker 1>be human beings. That's where I'm going. I'm not going

990
00:52:57.599 --> 00:52:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to put that into AI and rely on what AI.

991
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I say is on the other end, I've said my

992
00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:04.559
<v Speaker 1>piece about AI does the same question for you, Where

993
00:53:04.559 --> 00:53:07.239
<v Speaker 1>are you on evidence, whether it be what you have

994
00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:10.599
<v Speaker 1>gotten yourself, whether it be audio, photos, or you're evaluating

995
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:13.039
<v Speaker 1>other people's evidence. How do you approach that in your research?

996
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:17.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm definitely when it comes to the things we've captured.

997
00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:20.679
<v Speaker 4>More comfortable with the audio review just because of the

998
00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:23.519
<v Speaker 4>software and the system, and just allow myself to dive

999
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:26.119
<v Speaker 4>into that and wanting to learn more on how to

1000
00:53:26.239 --> 00:53:28.519
<v Speaker 4>use it and make the most use out of it

1001
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:31.119
<v Speaker 4>to help us alone, because often if it is just

1002
00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:32.920
<v Speaker 4>the two of us and we're out there at night

1003
00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:36.480
<v Speaker 4>or the early morning, we're going to hear things more

1004
00:53:36.519 --> 00:53:38.800
<v Speaker 4>than we're going to see anything. And I know that

1005
00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:44.039
<v Speaker 4>type of evidence. There's catalog of audio from all walks

1006
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:48.440
<v Speaker 4>of life, right, so we have this main database, similar

1007
00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:51.000
<v Speaker 4>to what you're saying a little bit ago about the aipiece.

1008
00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:53.800
<v Speaker 4>There's this main database that we could rely on that

1009
00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:59.639
<v Speaker 4>you could dump the audio into that's peer reviewed, academic

1010
00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:05.440
<v Speaker 4>support and has that level of discernment status to it

1011
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:07.960
<v Speaker 4>to help us along and see how many pieces of

1012
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:10.840
<v Speaker 4>that audio are similar to other pieces caught throughout the

1013
00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:13.400
<v Speaker 4>country if we did that, because we honestly know that

1014
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:17.599
<v Speaker 4>our community can't be that big. You've gotten to how

1015
00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:21.280
<v Speaker 4>many conferences, Brian's You've hosted conferences, You've spoke at conferences?

1016
00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:23.920
<v Speaker 4>Troy and I've been to a few down here, We've

1017
00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:27.119
<v Speaker 4>spoke at one. I've been up the Tennessee's conference. The

1018
00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:29.960
<v Speaker 4>community is not that big, and I think when they

1019
00:54:29.960 --> 00:54:31.559
<v Speaker 4>have those type of events, a lot of people just

1020
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:33.760
<v Speaker 4>come that are interested in wanting to learn more. They're

1021
00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:36.760
<v Speaker 4>not actually physically out there doing the research. So we

1022
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:42.000
<v Speaker 4>actually identified who is doing the day to day grunt work. Right,

1023
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:46.599
<v Speaker 4>you can bring all of this information that they gathered

1024
00:54:46.679 --> 00:54:50.119
<v Speaker 4>and you learn more about that person, that team that here,

1025
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:54.199
<v Speaker 4>and how that stacks up to what other people are doing.

1026
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:59.599
<v Speaker 4>I think we would have more productive evidence shown across

1027
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:02.840
<v Speaker 4>the border. Then we deal with this Piecemells effect throughout

1028
00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:05.440
<v Speaker 4>our country at least I know. At the same time,

1029
00:55:06.400 --> 00:55:08.880
<v Speaker 4>you may have something that, like your case in point,

1030
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:13.199
<v Speaker 4>with the footprints you found on your property, there's more

1031
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:16.039
<v Speaker 4>to you as an individual because of your history in

1032
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:21.880
<v Speaker 4>this field, your occupation, your podcasts, your books. Jory was

1033
00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:24.280
<v Speaker 4>talking about evidence stacking up and painting that entire picture

1034
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:27.199
<v Speaker 4>for that day, or putting that puzzle together a little

1035
00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:30.599
<v Speaker 4>bit more to complete. Should you have way more credibility

1036
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:35.920
<v Speaker 4>that should stack into that verse. Maybe someone that we're

1037
00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:37.840
<v Speaker 4>not quite sure we know much about. If you get

1038
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:40.519
<v Speaker 4>random audio, if you get a random photo or an

1039
00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:42.840
<v Speaker 4>eboll that says, hey, go check out this area. You

1040
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:46.119
<v Speaker 4>gotta know more about that person, especially nowadays more than ever,

1041
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:48.400
<v Speaker 4>to see if you feel comfortable and believing what they're

1042
00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:50.599
<v Speaker 4>sharing with you or telling you what you possibly want

1043
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:53.360
<v Speaker 4>to look into. But I think if we narrowed down

1044
00:55:54.159 --> 00:55:57.239
<v Speaker 4>in our country, if it is the ones that we

1045
00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.519
<v Speaker 4>probably more well known know like the Liptop Project, maybe

1046
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:05.719
<v Speaker 4>the NAWAC and we've got some researchers up in the Northeast,

1047
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:08.320
<v Speaker 4>we get researches in the Southeast. I'm sure there's research

1048
00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:12.239
<v Speaker 4>groups in the Midwest and in the West that could

1049
00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:16.679
<v Speaker 4>actually work together. Setting pride aside. I know this is

1050
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:19.280
<v Speaker 4>like a pipe dream or something. Setting pride aside and

1051
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:23.440
<v Speaker 4>allowing each other to just come together on some platform

1052
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:28.960
<v Speaker 4>where a conference isn't us talking about our experiences only,

1053
00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:33.239
<v Speaker 4>or us hearing about somebody's expedition in another country, but

1054
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:37.960
<v Speaker 4>we actually came and taught each other and shared or

1055
00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:42.320
<v Speaker 4>work together, I feel things would cross so much more

1056
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:46.039
<v Speaker 4>than we ever realized. We've got great resources out there,

1057
00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:48.400
<v Speaker 4>like the Bigfoot mapping project, but we know a lot

1058
00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:51.960
<v Speaker 4>of those experiences are pulled from historical data that weren't

1059
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:55.119
<v Speaker 4>always captured appropriately. We talk about this all the time.

1060
00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:57.519
<v Speaker 4>You know, you want to look for a hotspot or

1061
00:56:57.559 --> 00:57:00.320
<v Speaker 4>a target zone just in Florida. You may find some

1062
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:03.440
<v Speaker 4>primary areas, but then you dig in and that doesn't

1063
00:57:03.480 --> 00:57:06.000
<v Speaker 4>make sense and that's not in that location. That job

1064
00:57:06.119 --> 00:57:08.400
<v Speaker 4>wasn't done well, and then you have to dismiss it

1065
00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:11.679
<v Speaker 4>because there's nothing there to use. We possibly have the

1066
00:57:11.719 --> 00:57:14.920
<v Speaker 4>answer to this. If we combined everybody's efforts that actually

1067
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:17.880
<v Speaker 4>are out there doing things and have things to show

1068
00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:21.159
<v Speaker 4>that could be reputable, we'd be possibly further along than

1069
00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:24.480
<v Speaker 4>we are now. But there's a lot to it, and

1070
00:57:24.679 --> 00:57:28.800
<v Speaker 4>everything is subjective. You hear something one time, you read

1071
00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:30.920
<v Speaker 4>something one time, and then what are we all off

1072
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:34.239
<v Speaker 4>to the next best thing? Anii's the next best thing.

1073
00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:37.320
<v Speaker 4>Let's create funny videos, Let's have some We write our

1074
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:41.039
<v Speaker 4>paper for college, the WEE radar resume for us, and

1075
00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:44.239
<v Speaker 4>then it starts taking over the world. But there's got

1076
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.000
<v Speaker 4>to be a faulter. There's got to be something that

1077
00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:49.599
<v Speaker 4>we adopt that garbage. I know academically, there's systems. Professor

1078
00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:52.119
<v Speaker 4>tosses it a paper, it'll tell you what components of

1079
00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:55.159
<v Speaker 4>that was driven by AI. Yeah, Brian, I think we'd

1080
00:57:55.159 --> 00:57:57.159
<v Speaker 4>probably be further along now if we had some more

1081
00:57:57.239 --> 00:58:00.400
<v Speaker 4>that camaraderie and sharing of resources and trusting each other,

1082
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:03.119
<v Speaker 4>but it takes time. Probably most of us rather be

1083
00:58:03.159 --> 00:58:05.719
<v Speaker 4>in the what's see what we can find. Hope that

1084
00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:07.920
<v Speaker 4>helped answer it, but like that was a lot.

1085
00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:08.559
<v Speaker 3>Very well said.

1086
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:10.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll be honest with you, people have reached out to

1087
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:13.840
<v Speaker 1>me multiple times over the last couple of years for

1088
00:58:13.880 --> 00:58:16.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason, they were trying to nominate me as the

1089
00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:21.960
<v Speaker 1>person to bring everybody together, because we've done entire shows

1090
00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:26.079
<v Speaker 1>on that very subject of Hey, we've got people out

1091
00:58:26.440 --> 00:58:28.760
<v Speaker 1>doing their thing. You've got the Olympic Project, you've got

1092
00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the NAWAC at Area X, you've got the BFRO. Say

1093
00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:36.039
<v Speaker 1>what you want about Matt Moneymaker and the BFRO, it.

1094
00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:36.639
<v Speaker 3>Is what it is.

1095
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:40.639
<v Speaker 1>You've got all of these people doing separate things in

1096
00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:46.760
<v Speaker 1>other areas. My thing was, hey, why if the problem

1097
00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:50.400
<v Speaker 1>seems to be at Area X is just having coverage.

1098
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:53.159
<v Speaker 1>They go out there in the summer months, they work

1099
00:58:53.159 --> 00:58:56.639
<v Speaker 1>in teams, they rotate in and out, but they only

1100
00:58:56.760 --> 00:59:02.880
<v Speaker 1>cover three, four, five, five months, maybe six months. The

1101
00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:06.639
<v Speaker 1>rest of the time, there's nobody there that's done somewhat

1102
00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:10.800
<v Speaker 1>by design, so the creatures aren't stressed out, they're not

1103
00:59:11.239 --> 00:59:15.519
<v Speaker 1>constantly dealing with humans. But here's the problem. There's not

1104
00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:21.039
<v Speaker 1>been one photo, one video. Now there's tons of audio,

1105
00:59:21.159 --> 00:59:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and there's a ton of anecdotal stuff coming out of

1106
00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Area X. I've been trying to plan a trip out

1107
00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:28.400
<v Speaker 1>there for a couple of years. I thought I was

1108
00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:29.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna get there.

1109
00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:29.440
<v Speaker 3>This year.

1110
00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:31.679
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't look like it's gonna happen, But hopefully I'll get

1111
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:35.519
<v Speaker 1>out there next year because of the experience. The anecdotal

1112
00:59:35.559 --> 00:59:38.119
<v Speaker 1>evidence that's come out of there is, in my opinion,

1113
00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:41.360
<v Speaker 1>second to none for a long term what somebody would

1114
00:59:41.360 --> 00:59:45.119
<v Speaker 1>call a habituation or cohabitation situation with these creatures.

1115
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:46.719
<v Speaker 3>The problem is they.

1116
00:59:46.599 --> 00:59:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Don't have enough boots on the ground to cover it

1117
00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:55.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty four to seven, three sixty five for maybe a year, two,

1118
00:59:55.400 --> 00:59:59.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe three. So my thing was, Okay, we have an

1119
00:59:59.719 --> 01:00:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Area X, we know there's activity there, these creatures are there,

1120
01:00:04.719 --> 01:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>we just don't have enough coverage. There's thousands, tens of

1121
01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:12.840
<v Speaker 1>thousands of BFRO members who go out every single week

1122
01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>and do expeditions in different places. You see them all

1123
01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:19.199
<v Speaker 1>over the place. I don't think there's a state in

1124
01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>the Union that doesn't have a BFRO membership, and that

1125
01:00:23.360 --> 01:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't do some sort of bigfoot activity, i e. Expeditions.

1126
01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Why not just collaborate, bring all the BFRO members into

1127
01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Area X. You've got your coverage for three hundred and

1128
01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:37.480
<v Speaker 1>sixty five days, twenty four hours.

1129
01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:40.880
<v Speaker 3>A day for a year at least maybe two or three.

1130
01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:44.639
<v Speaker 1>But nobody will do that because it's mine. Every time

1131
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:48.119
<v Speaker 1>I bring somebody in, something bad happens, or this person

1132
01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:51.199
<v Speaker 1>doesn't respect this rule so they can't play here. I

1133
01:00:51.239 --> 01:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>get it all the time, and I get it. I've

1134
01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>had these conversations with Shane Carpenter about the four hundred.

1135
01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>He and Randy have invited people out there who screwed them,

1136
01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>who ended up bringing people back when they weren't there.

1137
01:01:03.599 --> 01:01:04.440
<v Speaker 3>It was a whole thing.

1138
01:01:04.519 --> 01:01:08.239
<v Speaker 1>So I know that happens, and I think it boils

1139
01:01:08.280 --> 01:01:11.079
<v Speaker 1>down to when you involve more than one person, you're

1140
01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:14.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna have these issues. If there's two people, there's two opinions,

1141
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>there's two everything, and that's when the sauce gets ruined.

1142
01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:21.199
<v Speaker 3>So I too wish that.

1143
01:01:21.159 --> 01:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Would happen, and I believe wholeheartedly as you eloquently said, Deisi,

1144
01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:28.400
<v Speaker 1>we would be so much farther along in this journey

1145
01:01:28.719 --> 01:01:33.199
<v Speaker 1>if everybody would work together. The four horsemen didn't work together, right,

1146
01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>They didn't like each other because they all had very

1147
01:01:36.519 --> 01:01:40.960
<v Speaker 1>different opinions on this subject. It's just human nature, unfortunately,

1148
01:01:41.400 --> 01:01:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and as long as humans are looking for bigfoot, I

1149
01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>think we're going to be stuck on the three yard

1150
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:49.039
<v Speaker 1>line where we've been for the last five decades unless

1151
01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>something changes, and I don't know that it can. I'm

1152
01:01:51.960 --> 01:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>an optimist. My glass is always half full, so I'm

1153
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:58.679
<v Speaker 1>hoping that I maybe will happen eventually. I just don't

1154
01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>know if I'll ever see it in my lifetime, unfortunately.

1155
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>But you're right, we would be so much farther along

1156
01:02:03.480 --> 01:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>if people would work together.

1157
01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:06.719
<v Speaker 3>And I think there's a way to do it.

1158
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there would be a way to collaborate and

1159
01:02:10.519 --> 01:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>vet the people that would be coming into these areas,

1160
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and you could work together, let the cat out of

1161
01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the bag, and everybody know the location and all these things.

1162
01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:22.079
<v Speaker 1>But I get it, I get the secrecy. I was

1163
01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:25.920
<v Speaker 1>going to open up our property here for guided tours

1164
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>and expeditions at times. We've considered that people have asked

1165
01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:32.239
<v Speaker 1>for that over the last couple of years since we

1166
01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:35.719
<v Speaker 1>started having activity here, and I canceled it over the

1167
01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:39.119
<v Speaker 1>last few months because I've been dealing with some crazy

1168
01:02:39.119 --> 01:02:41.239
<v Speaker 1>folks in the community, and I don't know that I

1169
01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>could vet everybody to come to the place where I live.

1170
01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:46.559
<v Speaker 1>It's a little different from me because it is where

1171
01:02:46.559 --> 01:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>we live, but it's the same principle. I get why

1172
01:02:50.039 --> 01:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>some people would want to share their active areas or

1173
01:02:53.400 --> 01:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>their hot spots, So.

1174
01:02:55.159 --> 01:02:55.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1175
01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just one of those things. It keeps me coming back.

1176
01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:00.559
<v Speaker 1>The conversation is always amazing, just like it has been

1177
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>with you guys. I've had a blast talking to Yell.

1178
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for coming on and sharing your experiences.

1179
01:03:05.719 --> 01:03:06.280
<v Speaker 3>Thank you Ryan.
