Speaker 4: Y'all did good. Y'all did a great job. Thank you
Speaker 4: so much. I felt bad that I didn't, you know,
Speaker 4: get you anything for Christmas.
Speaker 8: So I don't worry about it.
Speaker 4: I appreciate you, y'all. Our guest hasn't got here or responded.
Speaker 4: We'll we'll we'll talk for a little while and if
Speaker 4: you know, then we might make it a short show
Speaker 4: if we need to. Uh sometimes the Pacific northwesterns. You know,
Speaker 4: it's kind of hard to get in the Central and
Speaker 4: Eastern time and all that. So but we'll just had
Speaker 4: some things. You know. I wanted to say we should
Speaker 4: get one for watching him, Patrick Noble. He's full of it,
Speaker 4: see y'all. You know our guest is supposed to be
Speaker 4: mister Thomas suit and he hasn't responded, maybe having technical
Speaker 4: difficulties or something. So yeah, anyway, we've had a lot
Speaker 4: going on. We were at Greg's after the show Thursday.
Speaker 4: Peyton and I ran down there early Friday, and man,
Speaker 4: we had a big old time. I mean it was
Speaker 4: excuse me, h oh, he took We've been there several times,
Speaker 4: but he took us on the grand tour of all
Speaker 4: the the boogery places that we had meant to and
Speaker 4: we had to get the jeep out.
Speaker 8: Oh he took you on the back the back room tour.
Speaker 4: Then he's scared. He scared me to death. But I
Speaker 4: was like Greg, Greg, and we'll be all right. We
Speaker 4: got a winch. That's scary. That's a scary phrase when
Speaker 4: you're pointing straight like I said, pointing straight up at
Speaker 4: starlink and the moon and somebody that we'll be fine.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I was watching some of the videos you'd either
Speaker 8: I can't be posted it on Facebook or if you
Speaker 8: send them to me or whatever. I like. Now, that
Speaker 8: looks like some good for will and y'all were doing.
Speaker 8: That's some of the stuff that my in laws used
Speaker 8: to take us out and doing all the time. Like
Speaker 8: you said, he's in front of the bronco or the
Speaker 8: jeep or whatever, is looking up at the moon and
Speaker 8: hop and it doesn't flip over backwards.
Speaker 4: And the hole on my side was deeper than the jeep,
Speaker 4: so in the it was real soft. But Greg, yeah,
Speaker 4: I should show the picture. I didn't. I don't have
Speaker 4: them loaded. I'll show him next time. Uh, there's there's
Speaker 4: a cave. It's not really a long cave, but it's
Speaker 4: several feet back in there. You can tell that it
Speaker 4: was used for hundreds of years as shelter. It's got fire,
Speaker 4: the walls are black, it's got a spring coming out. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's it's really nice. It's way back in the middle
Speaker 4: of nowhere too, on a lake. So he said that's
Speaker 4: where he's gonna retire. Building my house inside that cave
Speaker 4: would be fitting.
Speaker 8: Then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Brian Amanda sent that to me for Christmas, so
Speaker 4: I had I had to wear it tonight. For sure.
Speaker 8: I was worried had gotten lost in the mail. It
Speaker 8: wasn't going to make it to you?
Speaker 4: Would you say? Did you? Did you have you checked
Speaker 4: the mail?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 4: What? What?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 8: You know, how do I ask without like just like
Speaker 8: giving it away? Or should I just you know, tell you, hey,
Speaker 8: you got a present in the mail, Go check your mail?
Speaker 7: Ye.
Speaker 4: And you know, I was thinking before this show, Uh,
Speaker 4: you always kind of think how you're gonna open it up?
Speaker 4: And I realized that this subject, you know, it started
Speaker 4: with me when I was really young, with that encounter
Speaker 4: that everybody knows about. And I was just thinking of
Speaker 4: how many people I've met, how my circle has grown,
Speaker 4: and how many people that have been willing to teach us. Amanda.
Speaker 4: You you you work in the Bigfoot Museum and you're
Speaker 4: surrounded by every day. Have you learned a lot from
Speaker 4: our life?
Speaker 8: Oh? So much. It's I've learned so much from our
Speaker 8: guests that we've had on interactions with other people here
Speaker 8: in chat, I've you'll see me all the time I'm
Speaker 8: looking down. It's because I'm actually writing in a notebook
Speaker 8: over here. The things that people are popping up and
Speaker 8: stuff so it's it's been, it's been a wonderful, wonderful journey,
Speaker 8: and I am really happy to be on it because
Speaker 8: again I'm learning so much and way more than just
Speaker 8: you know, what I see doing there at the museum,
Speaker 8: because uh, David, you know, he's done a great job
Speaker 8: with the museum, but you know, there's only so much
Speaker 8: in there just because of you know, space and stuff,
Speaker 8: and it's kind of really is just your big foot
Speaker 8: one oh one class is what I all the time.
Speaker 8: So having you know, talking to people who are you know,
Speaker 8: like boots on the ground, witnessers and experiencers, people who
Speaker 8: have been you know, delving into this subject matter for
Speaker 8: a really long time, like you know Tom if he's
Speaker 8: able to make it on tonight, Todd niece from a
Speaker 8: couple of weeks ago. M K. Davis. I'm just throwing
Speaker 8: out a couple of ANSWER's, tons of others and even
Speaker 8: some other the younger folks. Bigfoot Dwarf, he's here in chat.
Speaker 8: Shout out to you, buddy, and then Bigfoot fades. You know,
Speaker 8: other young folks like myself who are getting into this
Speaker 8: subject matter. So it's good to you know, see how
Speaker 8: many other people are into this, it's I don't know,
Speaker 8: I just kind of feel like I'm doing word salad
Speaker 8: right now.
Speaker 4: But no, you're good. You know, you're exactly right.
Speaker 8: It's been a great journey and I'm just very excited
Speaker 8: to keep to continue to learn.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when I started this, I have had a
Speaker 4: I had a plan, and I wanted to I wanted
Speaker 4: to learn things and ask questions. And it's turned into
Speaker 4: so much more. I've said that before, it really is.
Speaker 4: And the other other shows, uh, there's so many. I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna start naming. I have to. I have to
Speaker 4: mention Woodwalkers with a Z because you know, we've all
Speaker 4: become like family. And uh, you know, I was on
Speaker 4: one of their late shows, uh a few nights ago,
Speaker 4: and you know, Very Acts come on and Very Acts
Speaker 4: had had some scary things happened. He's not ready, you know,
Speaker 4: to tell it all, and he doesn't need to right now,
Speaker 4: but you know, he he thanked us for helping, and
Speaker 4: I'm like, I mean, I haven't done anything other than
Speaker 4: tell the truth. And I think that was I think
Speaker 4: that was a big point with him and and that's
Speaker 4: what we want to doe.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I actually haven't listened to that episode yet, so
Speaker 8: I definitely won't have to do that. But yeah, exactly
Speaker 8: what he said. They know it's even for me. It's
Speaker 8: one of the things that helped me open up was
Speaker 8: people coming onto shows like this and hearing other podcasts
Speaker 8: and documentaries and all that kind of stuff, you know,
Speaker 8: just people sharing their knowledge, people sharing their experiences and
Speaker 8: being open to sharing it and be like, no, this
Speaker 8: is what, this is what happened to me. Take it
Speaker 8: or leave it. And it's helped me a lot as well,
Speaker 8: because now I'm in the same boat. I'm like, you know,
Speaker 8: I know what happened to me. You could take it
Speaker 8: or leave it. I don't care, but used to I
Speaker 8: was really shy about it.
Speaker 4: Well, Greg, let me put this up here.
Speaker 8: Oh I just got it.
Speaker 4: Oh you got it? Yeah? Well please, thank you folks
Speaker 4: for watching the last watching Holler for me. Folks really
Speaker 4: turned out.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're they did. Yeah we had ane Oh is
Speaker 8: at three thout? What'd you say?
Speaker 4: Well, now it's at nineteen hundred, approaching two thousand views
Speaker 4: in seven days, which for us is amazing.
Speaker 8: That is amazing. I know that during the live at
Speaker 8: one time I tried to sneak a picture with my
Speaker 8: phone just because I was so proud of it. We
Speaker 8: had over one hundred and eighty people watching live at
Speaker 8: one point during that show, So kudos to everybody, and
Speaker 8: kudos to Greg for bringing in the crowd and also
Speaker 8: just for sharing your stories. This was the first time
Speaker 8: I've really heard them. I know you, Roger, you've heard
Speaker 8: them all the time, but for me, that was my
Speaker 8: first time really hearing some of Greg's history. So that
Speaker 8: was that was really really interesting.
Speaker 4: And he's a very excell to doesn't have an eggnog tonight.
Speaker 4: That's that's the inside joke. If y'all watch that, I'll
Speaker 4: send you the link. Please say Hillary or Gary if
Speaker 4: y'all could send that last a link in the chat
Speaker 4: to the Last Night outs from last week and so
Speaker 4: people can go watch that. It's and what it makes
Speaker 4: me realize is we're all of us in chat and
Speaker 4: here we're at different levels of this. Some people are
Speaker 4: coming in they saw a documentary, they might have watched
Speaker 4: the New Monster Quest, like oh Bigfoot or and like
Speaker 4: start searching. Then you have the people that have had
Speaker 4: some things happen. They don't know what it is yet,
Speaker 4: they don't they don't really know then you have people
Speaker 4: that have seen them, smell them and recorded things, and
Speaker 4: then you have the researchers that have been doing this
Speaker 4: for decades. And I feel like this is a good
Speaker 4: place for the mix to get together because us us
Speaker 4: being knowers helps because I've watched interviews where the not
Speaker 4: talking bad about anybody. It's just different when somebody has
Speaker 4: a bigfoot show and there and there there don't know
Speaker 4: if they're real or not. It's kind of it's easy.
Speaker 4: It's easy to say something to the defense, to offend
Speaker 4: someone without meaning to. And there you go, Hillary, thank you, y'all.
Speaker 4: Y'all write that down and go subscribe. H y'all go
Speaker 4: right now and subscribe, and then watch it and you
Speaker 4: can see very acts we started out.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 4: The night Outs is more laid back, different subjects, life stories.
Speaker 4: And you know, when Vary Acts got on there and
Speaker 4: he started talking about his experiences, I just I sat
Speaker 4: back and I'm like, this guy needs to talk, you know,
Speaker 4: and I'm glad whatever we can do to help it is.
Speaker 4: You know, I feel like we owe that to people
Speaker 4: to try to help and try to figure out because
Speaker 4: I've said for a long time, once this full disclosure
Speaker 4: comes out, if it ever does, we're the people that
Speaker 4: are going to come to the other show exactly. You know,
Speaker 4: you got Woodwalkers and tons of others that do the
Speaker 4: same thing, that talk about evidence, and you know very
Speaker 4: Axs mentioned. Well, I went back and watched everything you've
Speaker 4: done and everything Greg's done and everything, and that's happening slowly.
Speaker 4: But when it does happen for the whole world, I
Speaker 4: hope that they can find some information that helps them out,
Speaker 4: you know, because I agree unfortunately do you know this
Speaker 4: when you watch a movie, a Bigfoot movie. I walked
Speaker 4: in the other day, Heathers watching some Bigfoot movie and
Speaker 4: in Bigfoot's the monster, you know, are some of them
Speaker 4: or some of them could be Maybe yes, there's been
Speaker 4: bad things happen, but I feel like they're individuals like
Speaker 4: all of us, and you know their response they react
Speaker 4: different ways, right from what we've learned. And let me
Speaker 4: let me check right quick and see if he answered back.
Speaker 4: He hadn't read the message yet, so he may be
Speaker 4: thinking we're going to be on at eight or nine
Speaker 4: o'clock his time so or our time, so anyway we
Speaker 4: can reschedule. But but yeah, like Greg said, me and
Speaker 4: Greg talked the next day, I mean I called him
Speaker 4: and we talked for a while. You know. He said, here,
Speaker 4: I'm so proud of her ecs for telling everything he has.
Speaker 4: It takes bravery to come out and open up in
Speaker 4: the public.
Speaker 8: It does, absolutely, it really does.
Speaker 4: And we were we talked about this, and I'm not
Speaker 4: saying this just because he's in here. We felt honored
Speaker 4: some of the things he said. It kind of makes
Speaker 4: you realize that, you know, yes, this is fun, Yes
Speaker 4: we have fun doing this, but it's also serious. And
Speaker 4: I have the luxury of the ones I've encountered have
Speaker 4: been kind of far away, you know, or I've been
Speaker 4: in a vehicle so naively, Like when I was fourteen
Speaker 4: there was one hundred and seventy yards between us, but
Speaker 4: there was nothing in between us, and I was a
Speaker 4: little naive and I thought, well, if it tries to
Speaker 4: get me, I can get to the back door. Well,
Speaker 4: now we're learning they're flop faster than my fourteen year
Speaker 4: old fat butt, so and it does change you. So, uh,
Speaker 4: that's a that's a good one to go back to, y'all.
Speaker 4: And another another thing, we we like to have fun
Speaker 4: keep it light on some shows when we're not talking
Speaker 4: about the serious stuff. And Wendell Wendle now on one
Speaker 4: if y'all can put a link in there. We had
Speaker 4: a bunch of people on his show. We usually do
Speaker 4: a messenger call about once a week. Sometimes I can
Speaker 4: make it, sometimes I can't. And uh, they might be
Speaker 4: five or six or eight of us flat Rock and
Speaker 4: Patrick Noble and Greg and it'd be me and Wendell
Speaker 4: and h Kenny Shiver sometimes and Bud online and it's
Speaker 4: just a it's just a gathering place, you know, for us.
Speaker 4: And we'll talk about boogers sometimes. But if y'all go
Speaker 4: watch Wendells show. We got on, just told life stories
Speaker 4: and I had to tell I told some that I
Speaker 4: was checking at the Statute of limitations to run out,
Speaker 4: but uh, and it's just stuff growing up and it's fun.
Speaker 4: Like I said, the circle has gotten bigger, and you
Speaker 4: know they've welcomed you in like family.
Speaker 8: Also, you know they have ninety nine percent of everybody
Speaker 8: I haven't gotten a chance to meet in person yet,
Speaker 8: but just from talking to them and interacting with them,
Speaker 8: thank you everybody for accepting me into the circle here
Speaker 8: with open arms. It's great and it's very welcoming and
Speaker 8: I appreciate it. And it also it seems like we
Speaker 8: are a lot of the same in humor.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the ilighting is some of the things
Speaker 4: that we've had happened to us. It forces you to
Speaker 4: have an open mind about things. And if you don't have,
Speaker 4: if you don't have a sense of humor, it can
Speaker 4: weigh on you. You know, I've laughed awful lot of
Speaker 4: bad stuff in my life and I'm sure it's still there,
Speaker 4: but you know, you kind of have to. We got
Speaker 4: a new pay people coming in here, y'all. Hey News Martin,
Speaker 4: thank you for being here. We don't think us yet. Yeah, Hillary,
Speaker 4: Hillary is the wild card. She's the one that keeps
Speaker 4: me in check, y'all. So don't don't believe anything she
Speaker 4: says about me. Wink wink. She's funny. She's like the
Speaker 4: little sister that gives me heck all the time. And
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. I love that. I love the I
Speaker 4: love the banner. I love the quick wittedness of people.
Speaker 4: And you know, it's an octopus with no friends here,
Speaker 4: says uh. I think we try to do at the
Speaker 4: same time. It's true we've had too much seriously, crazy
Speaker 4: stuff happened. It's not to live and I've seen God,
Speaker 4: I don't want to bring this up, but I've gone
Speaker 4: to Reddit and look at some of the comments. And
Speaker 4: you don't want to go to Reddit and look at
Speaker 4: comments because they're just vicious. But I had one one
Speaker 4: guy had come, had watched her show. I'm there anonymously,
Speaker 4: I don't put my name out there, and it was like, well,
Speaker 4: I don't believe anybody that talks about this stuff so calmly,
Speaker 4: the uh, the the interactions. You know, you take barbera
Speaker 4: sue that's been living with them for a long time
Speaker 4: and you know, has advanced and she knows how they
Speaker 4: act and react and all that. She's a little more calm,
Speaker 4: and yeah.
Speaker 8: She's I think just her whole personality and demeanor and
Speaker 8: everything way she carries herself. She's a very calm person.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm doing the same thing. Everybody reacts differently,
Speaker 4: and and like in the moment, sometimes I've been terrified,
Speaker 4: and you know when you like Peyton and I had
Speaker 4: a terrifying experience one time, and we talk about it.
Speaker 4: I think the more times we talk about it, the
Speaker 4: less it affects me. But there was a few. There's
Speaker 4: a few things that have happened, but you know, I'm
Speaker 4: always learning. Hey, let me tell you the story Robert
Speaker 4: Dindover and he says, this northern Yankee appreciates y'all Southern
Speaker 4: folk welcome in these chats. We had a store for
Speaker 4: thirty years and we had a lot of people moved
Speaker 4: in from all the northern States to work at spring Hill,
Speaker 4: the gym plant spring Hill, which is twenty five minutes
Speaker 4: away from our store. They moved all around. Like seven
Speaker 4: thousand jobs were created at that time, and we had
Speaker 4: an influx of people.
Speaker 8: So it's quite a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So we had people there with all different accents
Speaker 4: or whatever. And somebody made a comment one day about
Speaker 4: all these Yankees, and he was talking about one particular guy,
Speaker 4: and my daddy he stepped up. He said, don't you
Speaker 4: ever say that again. He said, he might be a Yankee,
Speaker 4: but he's our Yankee and we're you know, he said,
Speaker 4: I'll kick your tail. So that's I know. I don't
Speaker 4: want me to offend nobody, but you know, you're part
Speaker 4: of the family, part of the family, no matter where
Speaker 4: you're from.
Speaker 8: Well, they call it Southern hospitality for a reason.
Speaker 4: Absolutely and you have you know, we had people move
Speaker 4: down that had to had to adjust to the slow
Speaker 4: the slow talk, the slow movements. Nobody gets in a hurry,
Speaker 4: and that that changes over time. But uh, we've we've
Speaker 4: we're well every you know, a lot of people in
Speaker 4: America are welcoming anyway. It's just certain groups ruin that
Speaker 4: image a lot of times, and it makes headlines, world headlines.
Speaker 4: And I've had people move here and man, man, y'a
Speaker 4: are a whole lot different than I thought you would be.
Speaker 4: I said, no, like Greg said, we've got we've got
Speaker 4: bathrooms running water, and we've got heat.
Speaker 8: And you know most of us have our teeth.
Speaker 4: Most Yeah, yeah, I'm minus one from a couple of
Speaker 4: weeks ago. But uh yeah, and you know it does.
Speaker 4: I always told people, they said, oh, you're so nice,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, well, it takes an effort to be
Speaker 4: a butthole, and I'm just lazy, so it's easier to
Speaker 4: so anyway. Yeah, it's it's been a short journey so far,
Speaker 4: about three years from me and I have a lifetime
Speaker 4: full of learning shoved in and that three years and
Speaker 4: you know, he'll or even wears shoes on Sundays. So hey,
Speaker 4: that's her comments. Sorry, but anyway, you know, when we
Speaker 4: were at Greg, we're always learning. We get out when
Speaker 4: we can. Unfortunately we can't do like some people and
Speaker 4: get out five or six days a week or whatever.
Speaker 4: But usually when we go down to the bankhead area.
Speaker 4: I found some of my first tracks there and we
Speaker 4: arrived early and I asked Greg, I said, you mind
Speaker 4: if we go down and check out the creek bank
Speaker 4: because at this time of year the water's really low,
Speaker 4: and I said, I've been wanting to go back down.
Speaker 4: There's two years ago when found the tracks. We found
Speaker 4: a baby, a baby tracks that the mom had set
Speaker 4: the baby down in the mud. It didn't walk out
Speaker 4: of the woods, and then it walked to the edge
Speaker 4: of the creek and put it one foot ball the
Speaker 4: foot on the rock, and the other one They were
Speaker 4: laid that like that. It walked down. It was walking around.
Speaker 4: The mom laid down and we could we had a
Speaker 4: big We've got pictures of it, but harder to tell,
Speaker 4: and there was three little finger tips had had drug.
Speaker 4: It set drug its hand through where the mom had
Speaker 4: laid down, and nobody had been down there in months
Speaker 4: and months and months and so I said, Craig got
Speaker 4: you know, you mind if we go down there. He said, oh, man,
Speaker 4: y'all go ahead, you know. So he's fixed the road.
Speaker 4: He got his dozer and put a lot of rocks
Speaker 4: and everything, so we didn't need a jeep and we
Speaker 4: Peyton and I went down and we went to the
Speaker 4: spot where we found the tracks two years ago. Didn't
Speaker 4: see anything. The water is a just a tad hire,
Speaker 4: but not much. We found some interesting things. We found, Uh,
Speaker 4: we found marks about about two feet wide. Something was
Speaker 4: dragging something across there from one side to the other.
Speaker 4: And this is a wide creek. I'll show some pictures
Speaker 4: of that on the later show about the how wide
Speaker 4: everything is. You know, some people here would call it
Speaker 4: a river. I mean, it's bigger than the Chattahoochie in Helen.
Speaker 4: I was expecting the Chattahoochie to be like the Rio
Speaker 4: Grand or something, but I don't know.
Speaker 8: Why when you get when you get further south, the
Speaker 8: further south you get, it gets really big. But yeah,
Speaker 8: up there in Helen, it might as well just be
Speaker 8: a creek.
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's probably then that's probably where it starts.
Speaker 4: Then in that area, I would think Okay, so you know,
Speaker 4: we're finding these drag marks. Something was clearly dragged across
Speaker 4: from the greg side of the the creek into the
Speaker 4: woods and it's a high bank. We saw several slide
Speaker 4: marks where and I'm like, doy have gators here? And
Speaker 4: Peyton he's like, well, if it was a gator, you
Speaker 4: would see the foot prince of it pushing along, right, Well,
Speaker 4: what about a turtle? We don't. There's no there's no tracks.
Speaker 4: It's just dragging. And we saw where something had walked
Speaker 4: through the water in another spot and it wasn't it
Speaker 4: wasn't footprints. It was like something was shoveling its feet.
Speaker 4: It was It was really a wide track and you
Speaker 4: could tell it was two tracks. And I'm like, what
Speaker 4: in the world. And Peyton's like, well, I wonder if
Speaker 4: that'd be a quieter way to walk, to be undetected.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, you know what, that's probably right. We
Speaker 4: don't know what it was, but we're headed up the
Speaker 4: creek and it's wide open for one hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: yards before it takes a bend, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: this smell hit us and the wind. I checked the
Speaker 4: wind really quick. The old way, you know, lick your
Speaker 4: finger and stick your finger up. That's the fastest way.
Speaker 4: And I told Peyton, I says, coming from that way,
Speaker 4: and it was so allly and so it was it.
Speaker 4: It smelled like something was almost burning rubbery, but not quite.
Speaker 4: And we couldn't. We couldn't. I did, And so we were,
Speaker 4: you know, paying attention because it was obviously something with size,
Speaker 4: and and I'd heard about the smells, and I just
Speaker 4: had never smelled this before. It was a mixture of
Speaker 4: some things. Like Peyton said, it's almost like a like
Speaker 4: a new pool float when you open it up, that
Speaker 4: rubbery smell, and I kind of yeah, I kind of
Speaker 4: get that too. And then all of a sudden we
Speaker 4: heard something smaller vocalizing, and it sounded like, y'all, it
Speaker 4: sounded like a mixture between a goose and and but
Speaker 4: the cadence it wasn't quite like a goose, but it
Speaker 4: was raspy. And then it had the cadence of like
Speaker 4: a small dog, but it wasn't it wasn't a dog.
Speaker 4: And it crossed that creek, that wide creek, wide open.
Speaker 4: We couldn't see it, and I'm I don't know what
Speaker 4: that is. So and after it crossed and got to
Speaker 4: the woods, the smell went away. So on the way
Speaker 4: home we called Combo and talked to him. We had
Speaker 4: about an hour and a half drive and we were
Speaker 4: explaining what we'd smelled. He said, yes, that smells often
Speaker 4: associated with the Boogers. And he said, you got to
Speaker 4: realize too, you know, if you found small tracks there
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, that these things can sound
Speaker 4: like other things, you know, and Peyton's pretty good with sound.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it was, it just was, and we
Speaker 4: didn't have we weren't recording.
Speaker 8: That's usually when you get the best interactions of any
Speaker 8: kind of when you're not recording.
Speaker 4: Right, And I today I went with trigger Alert. I
Speaker 4: used day out of day, but it's it's really good
Speaker 4: resource for finding, you know, out your questions you have.
Speaker 4: But so then everything Kombo had told us, it basically
Speaker 4: put it in scientific terms and it was correct, and
Speaker 4: it mentioned bank had been lots of reports with that
Speaker 4: and with that same type smell, and it's and it
Speaker 4: just what he said, it's often associated with with Bigfoot
Speaker 4: or the Booker. So that kind of blew me away.
Speaker 4: It was long and I sent it, you know, to y'all.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you sent it to me. I've kind of glanced
Speaker 8: at it a little bit, but yeah, I thought it
Speaker 8: was really interesting how it actually in one section it asked, hey,
Speaker 8: did the did it get quiet? Did it do it
Speaker 8: like the sound of all the other animals and bugs
Speaker 8: and stuff and birds get get quiet? I was like, huh,
Speaker 8: the fact that AI would ask you that, that's kind
Speaker 8: of interesting, and it.
Speaker 4: Knew about and I'm assuming that I'm assuming that a
Speaker 4: lot of people are using it, because you're right it
Speaker 4: it did say about a lot of people basically at
Speaker 4: reporting this, so I'm thinking they're they're probably you know,
Speaker 4: using it like Google, And that's how we are.
Speaker 8: Feeding it into not its algorithm. What's the word I'm
Speaker 8: looking for, the wherever it pulls its knowledge from it's
Speaker 8: hard driver. The AI's version.
Speaker 4: Of that is I asked AI one time, you know
Speaker 4: where it gets its information? And I believe this is
Speaker 4: what it said. Anything on the Internet up to April
Speaker 4: or May or twenty twenty three is in AI. Anything
Speaker 4: after that it has to search. So if you ask
Speaker 4: it something and it answers immediately, it's there. If it's
Speaker 4: something newer, that'll you know, it'll think for a few
Speaker 4: seconds and then it'll it'll find it for you. So
Speaker 4: we're probably y'all, we're Gary is right. Mark new Bill
Speaker 4: has documentary gonna come on at eight o'clock on Sawdust Beast,
Speaker 4: so we'll probably go right up to that, Mark and
Speaker 4: then I want to go I want to go watch. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's the link. Any of y'all that are listening tomorrow whenever,
Speaker 4: if if we even put this on, I guess we
Speaker 4: will may have to change. Yeah. So Mark does a
Speaker 4: lot of great work. He does Larry Port right, he's
Speaker 4: he's not doing the Lives anymore, but he's he's working
Speaker 4: on documentaries. So a Sawdust I believe, with two t's
Speaker 4: and then Beast TV. So if y'all, if y'all look
Speaker 4: that up, and there's a lot of really good, good
Speaker 4: lives from way back when, and y'all can check out.
Speaker 4: They were the first ones to analyze the audio that
Speaker 4: when Peyton and I had the rocks and stuff thrown
Speaker 4: at us and and uh. He analyzed the screams uh
Speaker 4: in the background and we only heard two, but there
Speaker 4: were there were four and that was scary that I
Speaker 4: didn't hear that. But but you know when when you're
Speaker 4: a drilline g just going really fast, you don't pick
Speaker 4: up on everything that's going on.
Speaker 8: So, yeah, saw dust with two te's. Yeah you're correct,
Speaker 8: So saw dust with two t's and then beast with
Speaker 8: one t right. I just want to make sure that
Speaker 8: was correct.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And Mark's Mark's a friend. I don't get to
Speaker 4: see him much, but he's helped me. They had me
Speaker 4: on the show and made me feel welcome. And then
Speaker 4: you have Larry Report and Debbie. Uh. You know you
Speaker 4: can watch Greg. Greg was on there probably multiple times.
Speaker 4: If you want to hear more stories. A lot of
Speaker 4: people will We've talked to and have been talking to.
Speaker 4: They've been on there before. And I would highly suggest
Speaker 4: the ones that don't know when we did the show
Speaker 4: on the footprints that I found at l b L
Speaker 4: and then Patrick Nobles and chat and Shelley Reid found
Speaker 4: the read Noble trackway at LBL. He did a great
Speaker 4: little documentary on that Mark did and it explains it.
Speaker 4: Y'all check that out. I highly recommend it. But no,
Speaker 4: I say this all the time, I ain't got no friends, Ruy,
Speaker 4: I got one. It's Hillary. She don't want to admit it.
Speaker 4: But you know, thank y'all, Thank y'all so much. This
Speaker 4: is the last time I say that. I'm very very actual.
Speaker 4: Was joking, he said, like y'all have the long Southern goodbyes.
Speaker 4: He said, Us Canadians apologize profusely. I may added a
Speaker 4: word there or so, but I was laughing because you know,
Speaker 4: that's just what we do.
Speaker 8: But we've got a lot in common there.
Speaker 4: But Amanda, did you see a stump squat this week?
Speaker 8: I did. Yes, I actually I haven't told you about
Speaker 8: this yet. It just happened like a few weeks ago.
Speaker 8: So something funny happened to me. I was, So, you know,
Speaker 8: I live here in North Georgia, and so to go
Speaker 8: anywhere to do any kind of shopping, you got to
Speaker 8: drive at least an hour and a half over the
Speaker 8: mountain to go somewhere. So on my way back, I
Speaker 8: was driving through, Uh, I'm just gonna go ahead say
Speaker 8: where it is the Dawson Forest, which is very prevalent
Speaker 8: up here for sasquatch sighting. So you know, as I'm driving,
Speaker 8: I'm listening to my radio and I'm already looking around
Speaker 8: at me and like, man, this is it is actually
Speaker 8: pretty squatchy in here. You know, the forest is real thick,
Speaker 8: and my mind is already there thinking about it. And
Speaker 8: then all of a sudden I come around a corner
Speaker 8: and coming up out of this ditch is this black figure.
Speaker 8: It's a humanoid figure in that like and that time
Speaker 8: slows down. I'm like, oh my god, am I actually
Speaker 8: is about to happen? Is this really about to happen?
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh. And as I'm driving past this in
Speaker 8: my little beaty car and it, thankful the Lord, it
Speaker 8: actually wasn't a sasquatch. It turned out just to be
Speaker 8: some guy for whatever reason, dressed in all black who
Speaker 8: was in the ditch there that was, you know, probably
Speaker 8: a good six or seven foot down the ravine or whatever,
Speaker 8: just decided to come crawling up out the side of
Speaker 8: the right there and then coming up onto the side
Speaker 8: of the road and start walking. I'm like, dude, you
Speaker 8: scared the not out of me for like five seconds.
Speaker 8: And then I had to laugh at my own expense.
Speaker 8: People tease all the time, are you sure it wasn't
Speaker 8: just a guy in a hoodie? Well, that time, it
Speaker 8: actually was. It was just a guy in a black hoodie.
Speaker 8: Black hoodie black pants.
Speaker 4: That's a good point to bring up because Greg said it.
Speaker 4: You know, and people that have seen these things, uh,
Speaker 4: you get to wear you're always aware now, like you're
Speaker 4: always looking. If I'm riding, I'm looking at fields, I'm
Speaker 4: looking into the woods. And if you're driving, that was me.
Speaker 4: I was getting some crayfish. I don't doubt it.
Speaker 8: You go get some crayfish or some crawled AADs. Let
Speaker 8: me know.
Speaker 4: We'll cook at heck you we have a we have
Speaker 4: a all but any but yeah, now we don't have.
Speaker 8: Old people here. We got we got fair old people
Speaker 8: here in the hills.
Speaker 4: That's just regular people here. But but you know, you
Speaker 4: do you do? You are looking. Your head's on a
Speaker 4: swivel all.
Speaker 8: The time, and it's not all the time all the time.
Speaker 4: And it's almost a curse really, but you know, you
Speaker 4: you get to see a lot of things you wouldn't
Speaker 4: see to start with. Mm hmm. But have you have
Speaker 4: you taken any cool reports lately that you don't give names,
Speaker 4: anything local.
Speaker 8: Or not that I could think of off the top
Speaker 8: of my head. I was actually thinking about that before
Speaker 8: we started the show. And it's actually been a bit
Speaker 8: of a dry spell for reports and sightings there at
Speaker 8: the at the museum, so which means hopefully soon that'll
Speaker 8: start picking up, because it always does that, just like
Speaker 8: with anything in retail or any other job. As you know, Roger,
Speaker 8: when you talk with folks, you'll have a dry spell
Speaker 8: for a while and then all of a sudden everything
Speaker 8: will show up all at once. So that's usually how
Speaker 8: it goes there. We'll have a dry spell and then
Speaker 8: next thing you know, I'll have like four reports in
Speaker 8: one day. And when I say that, I don't necessarily
Speaker 8: mean recent ones. Ninety nine point nine percent of the
Speaker 8: reports that take we take are from you know, several
Speaker 8: years ago. People come in there all the time just
Speaker 8: to see what the museum is about, or they're just
Speaker 8: there with their families and stuff, and then come in
Speaker 8: and you know, realize we're not there to make fun
Speaker 8: of the subject matter. It's you know, we do take
Speaker 8: it very seriously, even though like like us, we don't
Speaker 8: take ourselves very seriously. So and then they'll be like,
Speaker 8: so what do you think about all this? I'm like, well,
Speaker 8: you know, I've had my own experiences. You know, I've
Speaker 8: talked to a lot of people all the time, you know,
Speaker 8: I think it's there's definitely something to it, and they're like, well,
Speaker 8: I ain't toltd a lot of people, but you know
Speaker 8: back in the eighties, you know, this happened to me.
Speaker 8: And then it'll just go in to sharing their stories
Speaker 8: sometimes or sometimes you can read people's body language a
Speaker 8: little bit too and be like that guy's got a story.
Speaker 8: You know, he knows something, or he'll make some kind
Speaker 8: of little remark about something that you'll say or like
Speaker 8: they know and you're like they've they've had it experience,
Speaker 8: but they're not saying And sometimes I don't pry, sometimes
Speaker 8: I do. It just depends on kind of try to
Speaker 8: read the people.
Speaker 4: Right, and you can tell that I've had people uh
Speaker 4: actually say no, I've never seen and then when people
Speaker 4: leave the hay, I need to talk to you, so
Speaker 4: they still they still self conscious. And I noticed I
Speaker 4: was actually thinking about that the other day, where you know,
Speaker 4: some cryptid page or show asks, you know, why why
Speaker 4: are there more reports now? Well, the fact is because
Speaker 4: of these shows and the TV shows, the Internet Monster Quest,
Speaker 4: the Internet people are you know, I got a certain
Speaker 4: age of the mine. You know, I don't I don't
Speaker 4: care anymore what people think, uh so, so you have
Speaker 4: a lot of people my age also and older coming
Speaker 4: out of the woodwork and telling stuff that happened to
Speaker 4: them when they were younger. And I think that I
Speaker 4: think there are probably a lot of stories like that.
Speaker 4: If you you know, Bigfoot fades. Uh, Sarah's and she's driving,
Speaker 4: but she's listening to the show right now. You know,
Speaker 4: she had told us, you know, she gets older stories,
Speaker 4: you know, acted with newer ones. And it just makes
Speaker 4: sense because I lived it. I know I didn't. I
Speaker 4: couldn't talk about this with anyone for a long time.
Speaker 4: And finally, you know, you push it back because it
Speaker 4: you know, it's still there. But who you going to
Speaker 4: talk to? And slowly I had a few people like
Speaker 4: my buddy Don Odum, the former game warden, Uh, we
Speaker 4: could talk about it, and but there's very few. And
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, I was, I was really looking forward
Speaker 4: to the night and maybe it is the weather over there.
Speaker 8: It could be. I was actually just somebody in chat
Speaker 8: mentioned that again the uh and with the night we
Speaker 8: were actually talking to Bigfoot fades the weather and stuff
Speaker 8: being over there, so bad a hope that everything is
Speaker 8: okay over there where Tom is on the on the
Speaker 8: peninsula there in Forks Well.
Speaker 4: Sarah Bigfoot Phage said, I had a guy today that's
Speaker 4: a hunter. He doesn't want to go on any podcasts.
Speaker 4: I even offered to pay him today. He had a
Speaker 4: book Bigfoot try to Steal a Deer from him that
Speaker 4: he got.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's oh, that's cool. Yeah, that's something even
Speaker 8: if you don't he doesn't want to go public, if
Speaker 8: he's just willing to share the information with you and
Speaker 8: you're able to write it down or type it up
Speaker 8: or whatever, that would be something cool to to add
Speaker 8: to the report data.
Speaker 4: Yep. And it's it's been very interesting too to get
Speaker 4: immersed into this. Uh you know, all the years have
Speaker 4: not been able to talk about it. Now it's it's
Speaker 4: it's a free for all, you know.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Pyro here actually just made a good point too.
Speaker 8: He says, why does it seem that when I started
Speaker 8: talking and sharing, it started peeking in again? Ain't that
Speaker 8: the truth? Yeah? Whenever you start opening and talking about
Speaker 8: some of these things, you know, sometimes it comes back
Speaker 8: to find you. So, which is a lot of times
Speaker 8: why some people don't talk.
Speaker 4: About it, right, Big Hillary Bigfoot phase and greasing poems
Speaker 4: for the cause yep, and I wrote it down. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna make a video about it later. And you know,
Speaker 4: thank you, thank you, I mean thank you for doing
Speaker 4: your part of documenting all this. But yeah, it's you know,
Speaker 4: we're forty minutes in. We didn't we didn't have a
Speaker 4: backup plan. We need a backup plan we need, but.
Speaker 8: We're gonna start coming up with a better backup.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and probably this has been good.
Speaker 8: You know, we're just sitting here shooting, shooting the breeze
Speaker 8: like what we always say that, We're just sitting on
Speaker 8: the back porch, dreaking tea, talking to each other like
Speaker 8: we do with our guests, so we can do the
Speaker 8: same thing with each other and the people here in chat.
Speaker 4: Yep. It's I think it's good, good to do this
Speaker 4: every now and then. I agree, what we probably need
Speaker 4: to do is load pictures, yes, just just just for
Speaker 4: instances like this. Mike Nation says, it's the consciousness. You
Speaker 4: bring energy levels up, so they just show up. That's
Speaker 4: why everything seems like it's easy to see them now.
Speaker 4: And once you you know, I've been told, yeah, I've
Speaker 4: been told by seasoned researchers that once they know, you know,
Speaker 4: no I'm not singing.
Speaker 8: Sorry, I was distracted. What was the desk?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Hillary distracted me. I don't know what
Speaker 4: I'm about. Uh, y'all. When I get to.
Speaker 8: Those listening, Hillary Teessues said, let's all sing, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 8: I know, we're not doing that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Greg, Greg is in here. He was in chat.
Speaker 4: He might be eating some mental cheese right now. But
Speaker 4: we had a question there. Uh uh, who said that?
Speaker 4: Hold on the last time open invitation, Like the last
Speaker 4: time I saw that happen, the legend of Jimmy Crablegs
Speaker 4: was born and you have to go to old line
Speaker 4: Cryptids on YouTube to check that out. It wasn't good.
Speaker 4: Just put it that way. A lot of people know,
Speaker 4: some of you won't, you know, don't.
Speaker 8: Sounds like do I want to know problem?
Speaker 4: No, I'll tell you about it later. But Greg, he said,
Speaker 4: he's actually eating men or cheese right now. So we forgot.
Speaker 4: We were gonna eat it for breakfast up there, but
Speaker 4: we got busy, you know. And here's another thing. So
Speaker 4: Peyton and I and Greg we're riding and we get hungry. Yeah, Robert,
Speaker 4: you're right, maybe it's for the best. So we were
Speaker 4: riding around and there's a there's a little restaurant down
Speaker 4: there called Cheff Troy's that's really good. And there was
Speaker 4: waitress there. There was a heat he had a story
Speaker 4: about her and a big foot researcher and all. And
Speaker 4: we're but there's a table of about ten to twelve people,
Speaker 4: or two or three tables stacked together. Of course, Peyton
Speaker 4: can hear better than we can, and he's he's listening
Speaker 4: and what's going on? So what what he was listening to?
Speaker 4: He told us later that one of the younger guys,
Speaker 4: there was about three young men there in the mid
Speaker 4: twenties probably, and one of the guys said, one of
Speaker 4: my buddies went into the woods hunting the other morning
Speaker 4: and got scared to death by something. And what happened.
Speaker 4: What happened? He was walking in the trail with his
Speaker 4: headlamp on, and he noticed something blow on the side
Speaker 4: of the trail, just off the trail, and his eyes,
Speaker 4: you know, trying to focus. You know, when you see
Speaker 4: something black, you're it kind of like absorbs the light
Speaker 4: and it kind of plays a trick on you. I know,
Speaker 4: I hit a cow one night, same situation, but didn't
Speaker 4: see it. I could see black. I didn't know what
Speaker 4: it was, and by the time I figured it out,
Speaker 4: it's a little too late. But anyway, he said that
Speaker 4: this black thing stood up and he's just a few
Speaker 4: feet away from it, realized it was something he never
Speaker 4: seen before, and turned around and ran out of the woods.
Speaker 4: And the guy's kind of chuckled a little bit, and
Speaker 4: he's like, look, guys, I don't know, you know, what
Speaker 4: do we have around here that's big and black on
Speaker 4: two legs? And they're like, well, we don't have any
Speaker 4: bear and here and all this, and he said, well,
Speaker 4: he thinks he seemed to think it might have been
Speaker 4: a big foot or a booger, and they kind of
Speaker 4: looked at him sideways. But you know, that's to hear
Speaker 4: that story. What are the odds? But that you this
Speaker 4: shows you Alabama, y'all is like Spencer says, is boogery.
Speaker 4: We rode trails in about about every thirty minutes or so.
Speaker 4: We were running over two three year old pine saplings and
Speaker 4: going all through these trails and backing up and going
Speaker 4: and there could have been ten foot persons wearing yellow
Speaker 4: standing twenty feet away from us, and we wouldn't have
Speaker 4: seen them. And I was looking, and we're riding, we
Speaker 4: get we're way back in there, and and I ever
Speaker 4: now and then I'll go where do they hide? Because
Speaker 4: that's the question we always get. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: have you ever been off the road? You know, these
Speaker 4: these hills and hollows and some of these scary, scary
Speaker 4: encounters that Greg could have had. He was like, Hey,
Speaker 4: that happened right over here, and it kind of gives
Speaker 4: you a better understanding of oh okay, Well, I mean
Speaker 4: that's another thing. When you're that far back, if something
Speaker 4: happens to you, you know, that's what scares you. How
Speaker 4: am I going to get out of here? Can I
Speaker 4: get away from these things? You know, if they decide
Speaker 4: to you know, yeah, Greg put it a little better
Speaker 4: than I think Peyton and jeeps are made for jeeping.
Speaker 4: But I'm just gonna tell you. You know, here in Tennessee,
Speaker 4: we have some places, but it's not like that place
Speaker 4: down there. It's just not it's the the government land,
Speaker 4: the public land, and all that is so much. We're
Speaker 4: getting commercials popping in.
Speaker 8: We have no control over that. No, that's YouTube, that's
Speaker 8: that's doing that, And we.
Speaker 4: Don't control what they are either, So I don't you know,
Speaker 4: I saw some the other day. I'm like, why why
Speaker 4: are they gearing these towards older men?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 8: But yeah, I've got some interesting commercials as well. Like okay,
Speaker 8: so yeah, I apologize to everybody who's watching this either
Speaker 8: on their phones or on YouTube live. Yeah, we have
Speaker 8: no control over that, but thank you again for dealing
Speaker 8: with all of that to hang out with us. So
Speaker 8: I'm going to pull up the link here for Sawdust
Speaker 8: Beast one more time. Just keep it up here for everybody.
Speaker 8: So yeah, we'll probably just cut this one short tonight,
Speaker 8: Roger so because it may be blessing in disguise the
Speaker 8: way people can go over and support Mark with his
Speaker 8: new documentary. So yeah, it'll be coming on here in
Speaker 8: a few minutes.
Speaker 4: He started putting it all over Facebook, and I is,
Speaker 4: that's seven or eight, And I'm like, okay, that's Central.
Speaker 4: It's eight o'clock. Okay, I'll get I might get to
Speaker 4: watch that, but.
Speaker 8: I want to watch it in all laste if I
Speaker 8: get a chance to.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So we're forty seven minutes in, and you know,
Speaker 4: probably it's either a time miscommunication or the weather might
Speaker 4: be bad or something so uh we can, we can reschedule.
Speaker 4: We've got we've got some interesting get I've got some
Speaker 4: invites out, uh some yes is, but not dates locked
Speaker 4: in yet. We're Bama Murdock's coming back. Uh. Who else
Speaker 4: have we got We've got RPG has said yes end
Speaker 4: of the month, I think, or maybe I'm not even sure.
Speaker 4: I'll have you know what, I can look at my
Speaker 4: calendar ight quick.
Speaker 8: Hey, I've got you a fancy calendar set up, Roger.
Speaker 4: I know, I'm low tech. I know. Is it Mary's
Speaker 4: Eyebel Marion?
Speaker 8: Yeah, we got Marion's Eyebel coming up. And then we've
Speaker 8: got uh, Bama Murdock coming up. And then uh, who
Speaker 8: else have we got on the we have culture? His
Speaker 8: name Ryan maybe thank you? Yeah? My Southern tongue trips
Speaker 8: that were those kind of names. I apologize.
Speaker 4: I believe RPG, that's what everybody calls I. RPG is
Speaker 4: gonna be on here the fifth of February. And I've
Speaker 4: got some others that that have said yes, but they
Speaker 4: have to there's one group and they have to nail down,
Speaker 4: you know whatever. I've sent out some I've sent out
Speaker 4: some invites and I've been shocked actually uh rpg. Actually
Speaker 4: funny story. He probably I don't know if you remember
Speaker 4: this night, but the first time I ever went to
Speaker 4: a Bigfoot conference with Peyton in twenty three. It was
Speaker 4: the one year anniversary my father's passing away, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: you know what, instead of moping around here all weekend,
Speaker 4: let's let me let's go to East Tennessee and I'll
Speaker 4: show you some of his favorite spots, tell you some
Speaker 4: stories and whatever. Man, it was so good for us,
Speaker 4: it was. It was. There was no h sadness at all.
Speaker 4: It was funny, like some of the stuff. He was
Speaker 4: on one of the original water slides one time and
Speaker 4: we went off the It was like three different levels
Speaker 4: and we started out with the kiddie level and whatever,
Speaker 4: and it was concrete. It would eat you up.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 4: I went down in front of him on the fast
Speaker 4: one and they had bushog the side of this mountain
Speaker 4: and there was stobs sticking up out of the ground everywhere.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was just the show. So I'm going
Speaker 4: around through there and I'm like, I almost come out
Speaker 4: of there twice and I didn't know, well, maybe I
Speaker 4: was panicking or whatever, but I swear my elbows the

Speaker 4: and got up and like, whoa, I'm not doing that again.
Speaker 4: I was about twelve or thirteen and maybe younger, and
Speaker 4: I'm sitting there. You know, everybody's pat out about a
Speaker 4: thirty seconds apart, a minute apart, and I'm in the pool,

Speaker 4: son taped it. So I was coming off the stage.
Speaker 4: But anyway, RPG told me the truth. He looked at me.
Speaker 4: He knew I was nervous. He looked. He grabbed me
Speaker 4: by the shoulders and looked at me right in the eye.
Speaker 4: He said, the first three minutes you're gonna be crapping
Speaker 4: your pants, he said, but it's gonna be all right.
Speaker 4: So so I'm like, you're the first one told me
Speaker 4: the truth, because you know, but it happened. I went

Speaker 4: the lights hit the face. Two of the two people
Speaker 4: saw it, him and the driver. When the lights hit
Speaker 4: the face, he could see the back of the skull,
Speaker 4: but it was it was like it was covered in
Speaker 4: skin too, and it looked it turned and looked at him.
Speaker 4: He couldn't see the eyes that were they didn't have eyes.
Speaker 4: And when it jumped, and when it jumped, it leapt
Speaker 4: like into the holl tall grass. It never made it
Speaker 4: to the grass. It just turned in a puff of smoke,
Speaker 4: so you know, and it's kind of crazy. He didn't
