We 190 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.519 had over one hundred and eighty people watching live at 191 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.320 one point during that show, So kudos to everybody, and 192 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.919 kudos to Greg for bringing in the crowd and also 193 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.200 just for sharing your stories. This was the first time 194 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.679 I've really heard them. I know you, Roger, you've heard 195 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.159 them all the time, but for me, that was my 196 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.919 first time really hearing some of Greg's history. So that 197 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.120 was that was really really interesting. 198 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:32.559 And he's a very excell to doesn't have an eggnog tonight. 199 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:34.960 That's that's the inside joke. If y'all watch that, I'll 200 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.039 send you the link. Please say Hillary or Gary if 201 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.399 y'all could send that last a link in the chat 202 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.720 to the Last Night outs from last week and so 203 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.279 people can go watch that. It's and what it makes 204 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.480 me realize is we're all of us in chat and 205 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.720 here we're at different levels of this. Some people are 206 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.399 coming in they saw a documentary, they might have watched 207 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.600 the New Monster Quest, like oh Bigfoot or and like 208 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.200 start searching. Then you have the people that have had 209 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.639 some things happen. They don't know what it is yet, 210 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.960 they don't they don't really know then you have people 211 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.559 that have seen them, smell them and recorded things, and 212 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.879 then you have the researchers that have been doing this 213 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.879 for decades. And I feel like this is a good 214 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.679 place for the mix to get together because us us 215 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:32.960 being knowers helps because I've watched interviews where the not 216 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.000 talking bad about anybody. It's just different when somebody has 217 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.639 a bigfoot show and there and there there don't know 218 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:42.320 if they're real or not. It's kind of it's easy. 219 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.639 It's easy to say something to the defense, to offend 220 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.679 someone without meaning to. And there you go, Hillary, thank you, y'all. 221 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:53.600 Y'all write that down and go subscribe. H y'all go 222 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:57.159 right now and subscribe, and then watch it and you 223 00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.879 can see very acts we started out. 224 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:00.399 You know. 225 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.080 The night Outs is more laid back, different subjects, life stories. 226 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:10.919 And you know, when Vary Acts got on there and 227 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.559 he started talking about his experiences, I just I sat 228 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.840 back and I'm like, this guy needs to talk, you know, 229 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:23.360 and I'm glad whatever we can do to help it is. 230 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:28.279 You know, I feel like we owe that to people 231 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.399 to try to help and try to figure out because 232 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.080 I've said for a long time, once this full disclosure 233 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.879 comes out, if it ever does, we're the people that 234 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.000 are going to come to the other show exactly. You know, 235 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.919 you got Woodwalkers and tons of others that do the 236 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.200 same thing, that talk about evidence, and you know very 237 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.559 Axs mentioned. Well, I went back and watched everything you've 238 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:55.960 done and everything Greg's done and everything, and that's happening slowly. 239 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:03.000 But when it does happen for the whole world, I 240 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.799 hope that they can find some information that helps them out, 241 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:10.720 you know, because I agree unfortunately do you know this 242 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.559 when you watch a movie, a Bigfoot movie. I walked 243 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:20.120 in the other day, Heathers watching some Bigfoot movie and 244 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.720 in Bigfoot's the monster, you know, are some of them 245 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.840 or some of them could be Maybe yes, there's been 246 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.200 bad things happen, but I feel like they're individuals like 247 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:33.039 all of us, and you know their response they react 248 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:39.480 different ways, right from what we've learned. And let me 249 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.799 let me check right quick and see if he answered back. 250 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:46.759 He hadn't read the message yet, so he may be 251 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.279 thinking we're going to be on at eight or nine 252 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:54.240 o'clock his time so or our time, so anyway we 253 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.200 can reschedule. But but yeah, like Greg said, me and 254 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.600 Greg talked the next day, I mean I called him 255 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:06.159 and we talked for a while. You know. He said, here, 256 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.720 I'm so proud of her ecs for telling everything he has. 257 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:10.919 It takes bravery to come out and open up in 258 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:11.480 the public. 259 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:14.200 It does, absolutely, it really does. 260 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.200 And we were we talked about this, and I'm not 261 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:20.440 saying this just because he's in here. We felt honored 262 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:25.360 some of the things he said. It kind of makes 263 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:29.200 you realize that, you know, yes, this is fun, Yes 264 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:33.200 we have fun doing this, but it's also serious. And 265 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.480 I have the luxury of the ones I've encountered have 266 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:42.600 been kind of far away, you know, or I've been 267 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:46.639 in a vehicle so naively, Like when I was fourteen 268 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.120 there was one hundred and seventy yards between us, but 269 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.240 there was nothing in between us, and I was a 270 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.159 little naive and I thought, well, if it tries to 271 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.639 get me, I can get to the back door. Well, 272 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.879 now we're learning they're flop faster than my fourteen year 273 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:04.840 old fat butt, so and it does change you. So, uh, 274 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.000 that's a that's a good one to go back to, y'all. 275 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.720 And another another thing, we we like to have fun 276 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.559 keep it light on some shows when we're not talking 277 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:16.919 about the serious stuff.

It forces you to 302 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.279 have an open mind about things. And if you don't have, 303 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:48.240 if you don't have a sense of humor, it can 304 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.000 weigh on you. You know, I've laughed awful lot of 305 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.440 bad stuff in my life and I'm sure it's still there, 306 00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:59.599 but you know, you kind of have to.

So don't don't believe anything she 311 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.880 says about me. Wink wink. She's funny. She's like the 312 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.839 little sister that gives me heck all the time. And 313 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.759 I appreciate it. I love that. I love the I 314 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.160 love the banner. I love the quick wittedness of people. 315 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.640 And you know, it's an octopus with no friends here, 316 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.799 says uh. I think we try to do at the 317 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.319 same time. It's true we've had too much seriously, crazy 318 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.519 stuff happened. It's not to live and I've seen God, 319 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.160 I don't want to bring this up, but I've gone 320 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.759 to Reddit and look at some of the comments. And 321 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.200 you don't want to go to Reddit and look at 322 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.759 comments because they're just vicious. But I had one one 323 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.680 guy had come, had watched her show. I'm there anonymously, 324 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:01.039 I don't put my name out there, and it was like, well, 325 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:04.160 I don't believe anybody that talks about this stuff so calmly, 326 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:10.440 the uh, the the interactions. You know, you take barbera 327 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.000 sue that's been living with them for a long time 328 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.599 and you know, has advanced and she knows how they 329 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:20.079 act and react and all that. She's a little more calm, 330 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:20.960 and yeah. 331 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:24.839 She's I think just her whole personality and demeanor and 332 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.799 everything way she carries herself. She's a very calm person. 333 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:37.160 And yeah, I'm doing the same thing. Everybody reacts differently, 334 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.920 and and like in the moment, sometimes I've been terrified, 335 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.519 and you know when you like Peyton and I had 336 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.839 a terrifying experience one time, and we talk about it. 337 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:51.960 I think the more times we talk about it, the 338 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.720 less it affects me. But there was a few. There's 339 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.880 a few things that have happened, but you know, I'm 340 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:04.240 always learning. Hey, let me tell you the story Robert 341 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.240 Dindover and he says, this northern Yankee appreciates y'all Southern 342 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.799 folk welcome in these chats. We had a store for 343 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:12.960 thirty years and we had a lot of people moved 344 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.920 in from all the northern States to work at spring Hill, 345 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.720 the gym plant spring Hill, which is twenty five minutes 346 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.880 away from our store. They moved all around. Like seven 347 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.200 thousand jobs were created at that time, and we had 348 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:27.519 an influx of people. 349 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:29.000 So it's quite a lot. 350 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.799 Yeah, So we had people there with all different accents 351 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:34.799 or whatever. And somebody made a comment one day about 352 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.519 all these Yankees, and he was talking about one particular guy, 353 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.839 and my daddy he stepped up. He said, don't you 354 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.000 ever say that again. He said, he might be a Yankee, 355 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:46.000 but he's our Yankee and we're you know, he said, 356 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.960 I'll kick your tail. So that's I know. I don't 357 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:51.920 want me to offend nobody, but you know, you're part 358 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:53.599 of the family, part of the family, no matter where 359 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:54.079 you're from. 360 00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.960 Well, they call it Southern hospitality for a reason. 361 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:02.039 Absolutely and you have you know, we had people move 362 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.920 down that had to had to adjust to the slow 363 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.799 the slow talk, the slow movements. Nobody gets in a hurry, 364 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:14.160 and that that changes over time. But uh, we've we've 365 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.559 we're well every you know, a lot of people in 366 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.960 America are welcoming anyway. It's just certain groups ruin that 367 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.039 image a lot of times, and it makes headlines, world headlines. 368 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.160 And I've had people move here and man, man, y'a 369 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:31.759 are a whole lot different than I thought you would be. 370 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:34.079 I said, no, like Greg said, we've got we've got 371 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.759 bathrooms running water, and we've got heat. 372 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.799 And you know most of us have our teeth. 373 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.680 Most Yeah, yeah, I'm minus one from a couple of 374 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:48.880 weeks ago. But uh yeah, and you know it does. 375 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.680 I always told people, they said, oh, you're so nice, 376 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:54.720 and I'm like, well, it takes an effort to be 377 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.119 a butthole, and I'm just lazy, so it's easier to 378 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:07.599 so anyway. Yeah, it's it's been a short journey so far, 379 00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:12.119 about three years from me and I have a lifetime 380 00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:16.720 full of learning shoved in and that three years and 381 00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.440 you know, he'll or even wears shoes on Sundays. So hey, 382 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:27.599 that's her comments. Sorry, but anyway, you know, when we 383 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.279 were at Greg, we're always learning. We get out when 384 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.440 we can. Unfortunately we can't do like some people and 385 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.039 get out five or six days a week or whatever. 386 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.960 But usually when we go down to the bankhead area. 387 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:46.480 I found some of my first tracks there and we 388 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:48.519 arrived early and I asked Greg, I said, you mind 389 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.799 if we go down and check out the creek bank 390 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:54.559 because at this time of year the water's really low, 391 00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.960 and I said, I've been wanting to go back down. 392 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:01.559 There's two years ago when found the tracks. We found 393 00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:04.400 a baby, a baby tracks that the mom had set 394 00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:06.160 the baby down in the mud. It didn't walk out 395 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:07.599 of the woods, and then it walked to the edge 396 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.880 of the creek and put it one foot ball the 397 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:12.839 foot on the rock, and the other one They were 398 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.480 laid that like that. It walked down. It was walking around. 399 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.599 The mom laid down and we could we had a 400 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.119 big We've got pictures of it, but harder to tell, 401 00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:25.279
