Speaker 1: Hey guys, Hey guys, and welcome to episode twenty, Episode twenty,
Speaker 1: Episode twenty of A Strange Thing Podcast zero. And I'm
Speaker 1: Mike and I'm Austin, and we are your hosts for
Speaker 1: this auspicious astrange Thing podcast.
Speaker 2: That's us and you know, Austin, it's been one year,
Speaker 2: it has This is our first program of our second year.
Speaker 2: Who to Thunk?
Speaker 3: Who to Thunk?
Speaker 2: Who to Thunk? We would have made it a whole
Speaker 2: year and got nineteen episodes in right, This is episode twenty,
Speaker 2: which is a good start. Yeah, number two for year
Speaker 2: number two, followed by a zero, which is what you
Speaker 2: are just kidding. No, this is actually cool because we're
Speaker 2: starting a very cool topic this week.
Speaker 3: There we are, and it's.
Speaker 2: And everybody talks about this topic. Have you noticed that?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is.
Speaker 2: Like one of the most popular topics out in the
Speaker 2: world right now.
Speaker 3: Go to nerd.
Speaker 2: Yep, you can find a thousand million different podcasts on this.
Speaker 3: One thousand and one million. Everybody.
Speaker 2: Yep, it's a bunch.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of zeros.
Speaker 2: It is. It's like a Google get.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of me.
Speaker 2: It's a lot. There's a lot of podcasts about this topic.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but we came to it from a different direction.
Speaker 2: We got there the hard way. Yep, we came the
Speaker 2: rocky way traveled. It was a very rocky road, rocky
Speaker 2: road that got us here. We actually got here via
Speaker 2: school bus. No, through petroglyphs.
Speaker 3: Petroglyphs, Yeah, probably not the avenue most people take.
Speaker 2: No, we had strategicy because we knew on rocks there
Speaker 2: were these inscriptions, these petriclyphs that detailed strange creatures from
Speaker 2: thousands of years ago, and a lot of those mythologies
Speaker 2: that surround those petric lyphs are these strange creatures. Now
Speaker 2: we know them as a certain name. Back then, they
Speaker 2: were just known by a bunch of Native American names. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and we're going to get into all that as we
Speaker 2: can go along. But right now we're just kind of
Speaker 2: we're just kind of trying to dive.
Speaker 3: Into these we're doing like a recon mission.
Speaker 2: What we want to do for our listeners is present
Speaker 2: this topic in a way that maybe that's not normal,
Speaker 2: maybe it's not the way podcasts do it. Open up
Speaker 2: your mind, Quaid, open your mind, Wade, what Yeah, total recall,
Speaker 2: don't I don't know what was his name. The little
Speaker 2: guy that popped out of the guy's stomach closed, his
Speaker 2: name is like guano. No that yeah, no, no, no, gosh.
Speaker 2: I'm going to think of this later. I'm going to
Speaker 2: put that excerpt in right here.
Speaker 4: Open your mind, open your ma, open your mind, open your.
Speaker 2: Open your So that was an excerpt from the original
Speaker 2: Total Recall, which is a short story written by Philip K. Dick.
Speaker 2: If you didn't know that based on a short story
Speaker 2: by Philip Kidd, Philip he would get inspired by by dreams, right,
Speaker 2: So yeah, if you want to listen to that, go back,
Speaker 2: listen to our one of our dream episodes. I don't
Speaker 2: remember which one it was, but we talked about Philip
Speaker 2: K Dick Flip. But anyway, this is one of his
Speaker 2: short stories produced and made into a movie. And in
Speaker 2: that scene, you have this creature comes out of some
Speaker 2: dude's stomach.
Speaker 3: It doesn't come out. It's like it's like as if
Speaker 3: a pregnantly.
Speaker 2: Hides it under his shirt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as if a pregnant lady's baby like poked its
Speaker 3: arms out and its head, but it was still like
Speaker 3: in her skin.
Speaker 2: It was like grown into her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very like like I talked about cancer.
Speaker 2: It's not a tuma. But yeah, So anyway, this Quato
Speaker 2: character pops out of this guy's stomach and says, open
Speaker 2: your mind. Quiz.
Speaker 3: It sounds like open your mind and quai.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how we got here, but it
Speaker 2: was fun watching that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know how we got here either. I was
Speaker 3: thinking though that that little creepy monster thing kind of
Speaker 3: looks like my baby son.
Speaker 2: Your your son, my grandchild. He is very cute. He
Speaker 2: looks nothing like Quadakin.
Speaker 3: Last night I give him a bottle and guess what
Speaker 3: what he said?
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, he's very talkative.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Glatto Quaid.
Speaker 2: Que open your mind, your mind. Yeah, he does kind
Speaker 2: of look like a different yoga yoga yoga if he's
Speaker 2: he was, Yeah, maybe maybe he's like the secret When
Speaker 2: he's planking, Guatto just pops out and puts his hands
Speaker 2: down and helps.
Speaker 3: Him do the downward dog. And now we're going to
Speaker 3: open our mind the Quaid and as symbol of the
Speaker 3: downward dog, we walk my knees back, letting the spine
Speaker 3: fallen line and the heart release towards the earth.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we're going way well.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: We were talking about our new topic, which we have
Speaker 2: actually said the.
Speaker 3: Word right big but I know it's trying to keep it.
Speaker 2: In case you guys haven't guessed yet, this episode is
Speaker 2: about Bigfoot, but not just.
Speaker 3: Bigfoot, Sasqua Harry, giant things in general.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, there are literally across the world,
Speaker 2: hundreds onnreds of these things that we here in America
Speaker 2: call Bigfoot.
Speaker 3: Bigfoot, ye sasquatch, abominable, snowman, solely.
Speaker 2: Scocape, Yeah, monsters, and keep going. I mean, you can
Speaker 2: just keep going. And you know, I bought some books
Speaker 2: so that we could do some little research on this book,
Speaker 2: and I printed out some stuff from the internet. I've
Speaker 2: read tons of stuff on the internet. I've listened to
Speaker 2: a lot of podcasts, and I want to do a
Speaker 2: call out right here.
Speaker 3: So shout out, because calling out would be like yo eminem,
Speaker 3: you can't rap, oh, like when a shout out would
Speaker 3: be like yo eminem, you can rap?
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, oh no, no, this is totally a shout out. Okay,
Speaker 2: This is a shout out to a podcast that I
Speaker 2: discovered and they are totally dedicated to cryptids, right, cryptozoology.
Speaker 2: That's what they're about.
Speaker 3: That's kind of my favorite I think, Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: It's really cool stuff. And they're you know, they're not
Speaker 2: just doing bigfoot, but they started their podcast with the
Speaker 2: topic of bigfoot. And that podcast name is Blurry Creatures.
Speaker 2: So shout out to Blurry Creatures with your perfect name.
Speaker 2: It is a perfect name. It's perfect, I mean, because
Speaker 2: you cannot focus on these.
Speaker 3: Things very well, not in the pictures anyway.
Speaker 2: They are blurry. They're always blurry. So shout out to
Speaker 2: Blurry Creatures. Thank you so much for doing what you're doing.
Speaker 2: You know, I feel like you're a kindred spirit. So
Speaker 2: hopefully you guys have massive success. Hopefully maybe we'll have
Speaker 2: a little bit of success.
Speaker 3: Hopefully we can get are junk together.
Speaker 2: Well. You know what's really nice is we do this
Speaker 2: for fun, and we literally do it for fun, so
Speaker 2: we don't we're not pressured. We do it. We do
Speaker 2: on figuratively, and we don't have investors. We don't have
Speaker 2: people that have sponsored us that are demanding a certain
Speaker 2: kind of you know, viewership or listenership.
Speaker 3: Which would be a good time to pause for our
Speaker 3: first sponsor break.
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, this is Austin Film A Strange Thing Podcast.
Speaker 5: We just wanted to take a moment to tell you
Speaker 5: about one of our favorite sponsors, which apparently is ourselves
Speaker 5: and Dots Pretzels.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, those pretzels are way good.
Speaker 2: They don't really sponsor this, but we wish they would.
Speaker 2: We love you, Dots Pretzels, Lots Pretzels. They're the pride
Speaker 2: in Order Dakota. They are are they from They're from
Speaker 2: Nord Dakota, Nordon Quota. They're so good. I mean sometimes
Speaker 2: I just get them out of the bag. I just
Speaker 2: lick them, lick the salt, and guard they.
Speaker 3: Put them back in so they collect more salt. You
Speaker 3: can lick them again later.
Speaker 2: And then my wife picks them up and she goes,
Speaker 2: these aren't very good. They're not very salty, And I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's because they suck.
Speaker 3: That's weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, finish the sponsorship.
Speaker 5: Also generic brands of tequila and Irish whiskey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and beer and some beer that's usually dirt.
Speaker 2: We're just gonna say thank Camping for sponsoring us with
Speaker 2: your product, not with your money. Here you go, we
Speaker 2: support you by buying your goods and enjoying them and
Speaker 2: that sponsors us by making us be creative.
Speaker 1: Sponsors are mind brain mind sponsors.
Speaker 3: That's around right back to the show.
Speaker 2: Okay, back to the show. Yeah, thank you sponsors. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: we have we have a unique perspective because we're not
Speaker 2: pressured by anything like that, and we don't really care
Speaker 2: how many listeners we have. We want people to listen
Speaker 2: to us, because otherwise this would all be in vain, right.
Speaker 3: I think it'd be fun just to have this recorded,
Speaker 3: and in twenty years my kids will be like, remember
Speaker 3: that time, Pop, Pop and Dad just went off the
Speaker 3: rails they were watch.
Speaker 2: Really and people now we know what that was all about.
Speaker 3: So we're just doing it for fun and enjoying ourselves.
Speaker 2: And taking you along for a ride if you choose
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 3: And sharing our weird point of views.
Speaker 2: I thought we were gonna say wisdom and I was no, no, no, weird.
Speaker 2: Well anyway, we have fun and we're glad that we
Speaker 2: can do this topic. My entire life, I've had a
Speaker 2: memory of believing or thinking about Bigfoot. Oh yeah, so
Speaker 2: what really made this whole bigfoot thing famous? In my mind?
Speaker 2: From my perspective, I don't know about generally in the
Speaker 2: world but for me personally was I saw that video
Speaker 2: by Patterson Grimlin. I think those are the guys.
Speaker 3: Gimblin Gimlin Grimlin would be a better name for that's
Speaker 3: a po zoology guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that girl in that movie Grimlin's Yum yum. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what was her name?
Speaker 3: Phoebe Kates Yum yum.
Speaker 2: Phoebe Yum yad. Yeah, Phoebe Kate's. You had a big
Speaker 2: impact on my growing up. I must say, my bread.
Speaker 4: You know how cute I always thought you were.
Speaker 2: But that's all we'll say about that.
Speaker 3: Anyway, we'll call it a little impact.
Speaker 2: Phoebe Gimblin. No, Patterson Gibblins. Yeah, Phoebe makes me flustered.
Speaker 2: Phoebe makes me flustered. I'm very flustered about Phoebe anyway,
Speaker 2: Patterson Giblin. They came out with that video or a movie.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a video, It was a film.
Speaker 3: I think it was a short. It was a section
Speaker 3: of film.
Speaker 2: It was a section of films shot at like sixteen
Speaker 2: or eighteen frames per second of a creature walking famously.
Speaker 2: That's where all the artwork that you see is that
Speaker 2: famous pose pretty much, Yeah, of him walking with his
Speaker 2: arms swinging.
Speaker 3: Back his arms kind of like back. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But anyway, that film clip, I don't even remember when
Speaker 2: I saw it, but I was young. I was probably
Speaker 2: it was probably in the seventies, mid set. I saw that,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if I saw it at school,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I saw it on TV, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I think it was one of those like
Speaker 2: assemblies you had. They would bring people around and they'd
Speaker 2: show like weird videos or movies. Sometimes they were scary
Speaker 2: like type thing, oh like yeah, but or the ski
Speaker 2: movies they had. These guys would come around, they'd chill
Speaker 2: these like ski movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy is famous skier dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he'd do movies and they'd do assembly at
Speaker 2: high schools, in junior highs, and it might have been
Speaker 2: something like that, right, But I saw that clip and
Speaker 2: that captured my imagination. And this was I think it
Speaker 2: came out in nineteen sixty eight. I think it was
Speaker 2: shot in nineteen sixty seven or nineteen sixty eight, so
Speaker 2: I was probably twelve thirteen years old and I saw that, mind.
Speaker 1: Blowing there's big monkeys in the woods.
Speaker 2: And that's when that's when I started thinking about it,
Speaker 2: and there wasn't a lot of like bigfoot paraphernalia.
Speaker 3: Or aren't It wasn't like it was a hop culture
Speaker 3: icon back then.
Speaker 2: No, that started it, I think probably, And then you
Speaker 2: started seeing things occasionally and then Bigfoot. There'd be like
Speaker 2: the big pictures of the big footprint in the ground
Speaker 2: or somebody had done a cast of them. And then
Speaker 2: you had that famous movie that came out called Harry
Speaker 2: and the Hendersons. What if we've just rendered an entire
Speaker 2: species extinct? One of the kind?
Speaker 3: This thing could really be worth something?
Speaker 2: And I believe you just said that, Oh come on, man,
Speaker 2: it's all on how you look at it. And I
Speaker 2: think that came out in the what nineties.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was born in the nineties. I
Speaker 3: don't remember.
Speaker 2: We'll have to google that. We should be more prepared,
Speaker 2: but we didn't want to. We didn't want to have
Speaker 2: too much information.
Speaker 3: This episode's kind of like a very overarching view of Gasquatch.
Speaker 2: We are totally feeling Sasquatch out right now. We're feeling
Speaker 2: him up because everybody has ideas and perspectives of their
Speaker 2: perceptions of Bigfoot, and we do too, and we want
Speaker 2: to share that because that's something you don't hear much
Speaker 2: about when you, you know, you listen to these podcasts,
Speaker 2: they go right into like the cryptozoology stuff, all the
Speaker 2: facts surrounding everything, which is really awesome. But for us
Speaker 2: being hacks and just kind of doing this for fun,
Speaker 2: a lot of what's important to us is the thoughts
Speaker 2: behind it. Why does this capture my mind? Why do
Speaker 2: I find this strange? Why do I think about it?
Speaker 2: Why do I want to buy every piece of sasquatch
Speaker 2: artwork or paraphernalia? Right? I see on the internet, you know,
Speaker 2: what is it? What's that draw? It's weird good marketing,
Speaker 2: it's terrible marketing, you know, I see stuff. So, okay,
Speaker 2: I've joined Facebook groups, you know, Sasquatch names and bigfoot names,
Speaker 2: and every one of those groups on Facebook has like
Speaker 2: I don't know, ten different people that loves to draw
Speaker 2: sasquatch pictures or painting. Right, some are really good social
Speaker 2: distancing champion.
Speaker 3: Or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's all this stuff there and people are
Speaker 2: showing their big foot tattoos, that they have tattoos on them.
Speaker 3: I would get a big foot tattoo, be sweet, it would.
Speaker 2: Be kind of cool. And then we did one. We
Speaker 2: did the with Bigfoot.
Speaker 3: Wearing a string a mask, yeah, you know, and crying a.
Speaker 2: Big tear because the world is such sorrow right now.
Speaker 2: But anyway, it's it's just a weird thing to me
Speaker 2: to see that people snatch that stuff up. Yep.
Speaker 3: And it's not just Sasquatch or Bigfoot. You've got the
Speaker 3: Abominable Snowman, all your monsters, inc. Yeah, yeah, stuff from
Speaker 3: your eclectic nonsense over there.
Speaker 2: Yeah on the wall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, solely, solely, the main character is like a blue,
Speaker 3: big purple dotted sasquatch, Bigfoot with horns. And then they
Speaker 3: go to the Himalayas and meet the Snowman, the vomitable Snowman,
Speaker 3: and he's.
Speaker 2: Like, welcome to the Himalayas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, welcome to the Himalaias. And he has the snow
Speaker 3: cones and he's like, no, it's lemon. Anyway, he's the
Speaker 3: giant monkey man. All over the world, it's like an
Speaker 3: endeared character. Yeah, whether it's you know, the Pacific Northwest
Speaker 3: where it's super popular. You know, you got bumper stickers,
Speaker 3: You've got you know, Sasquatch carrying a flag doing the
Speaker 3: peace sign. You've got sasquatch with a galaxy color around him,
Speaker 3: walking across your window on your car.
Speaker 2: Have you seen the one where there's a bigfoot running
Speaker 2: through the forest and the forest is on fire behind him,
Speaker 2: and he's got an armload of bunnies, And.
Speaker 3: I think I have seen that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I love that, you know. So, without any
Speaker 2: real knowledge of Bigfoot, people have turned him into this
Speaker 2: thing of what they want him to be in their mind,
Speaker 2: which is, well, we're close to Oregon, right, we're close
Speaker 2: to Washington, and there's a lot of people there that
Speaker 2: are very I don't even know what do you call him.
Speaker 2: You used to call him good riola or woodstock.
Speaker 3: You know, lumber sexuals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're really into you know, nature and all of that.
Speaker 2: So they've kind of embraced Bigfoot or this ideology of
Speaker 2: Sasquatch as like this kind of the fairy of the.
Speaker 3: Spirited backpacking, mountain climbing adventure. I think he's like the
Speaker 3: spirit of adventure.
Speaker 2: Right, And he's a good guy, he's he's likable. And
Speaker 2: then I don't know how many of my friends, and
Speaker 2: a lot of them are ladies, they are infatuated with Bigfoot.
Speaker 2: The concept of big big Harry. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's that. I don't know if it's because the presentation
Speaker 2: of him, like in Harry and the Henderson's, is that
Speaker 2: he's warm, he's nice, he's got a good personality. He
Speaker 2: wants to do what's right. Everything he's misunderstood, you know,
Speaker 2: all these things. He just wants to be loved. And
Speaker 2: I don't know if that kind of comes through or
Speaker 2: if it's the mystery, the unknown of it that's appealing.
Speaker 2: But they love him. They they buy shirts that have
Speaker 2: him on it. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: We talked about iconography and stuff, and it's like a
Speaker 3: see your shirt right now. It's his best pop ever
Speaker 3: Coca Cola shirt. It's like an icon of a generation.
Speaker 3: It's like a it doesn't mean anything really, but it's
Speaker 3: like a symbol that kind of represents nothing other than
Speaker 3: it's the area or the era that you grew up in.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a way to represent an era or
Speaker 3: an area in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Idaho and Oregon
Speaker 3: and Washington, and it's it's got all these thick woods
Speaker 3: and it's kind of a unique area with a lot
Speaker 3: of weird, strange things kind of happening around there. There's
Speaker 3: even podcasts about stories that happened in the Pacific Northwest.
Speaker 3: Here in bigfoot Sasquatch, he kind of like kind of
Speaker 3: embodies all that.
Speaker 2: He becomes a symbol.
Speaker 3: He's like a symbol of this area.
Speaker 2: And people like it because it's almost like it's a
Speaker 2: token of who we are in the region. Character. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like Oregon has totally embraced this. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you've seen some of their travel and marketing campaigns to.
Speaker 3: Get Basquatch holed in a doobie.
Speaker 2: No, but they're really well done. You know, travel to Oregon,
Speaker 2: visit orgon. It's that kind of stuff, and it's really
Speaker 2: really cute, and it's got bunnies and it's got deer
Speaker 2: and you live in perfect harmony and they're out in
Speaker 2: the wilderness with breathtaking views. And Oregon is you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta met. Oregon is a beautiful state. Yep,
Speaker 2: almost as beautiful as I know almost. So what is
Speaker 2: it about this idea of Bigfoot that's you know, really
Speaker 2: captured the hearts and minds of people, And like in
Speaker 2: probably in the seventies, late sixties when this video came out,
Speaker 2: and then it just explodes. So you have this like
Speaker 2: we're talking about this kind of euphoric kind of view
Speaker 2: of Bigfoot, where he's a good guy, mystical. But that
Speaker 2: is the top side of the coin. If you flip
Speaker 2: the coin over, you get his butt and you start
Speaker 2: looking at the Native American histories of giant hairy creatures,
Speaker 2: they weren't necessarily called Sasquatch or Bigfoot, although I guess
Speaker 2: the name Sasquatch is derived from a Native American tribe.
Speaker 3: I always when I don't know if this is true
Speaker 3: because I haven't researched it, but Sasquatch and Sasquatch Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan,
Speaker 3: for some reason, seems like two would be related.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's correct, but it sounds really good,
Speaker 2: doesn't it sound legit? I think it's out there, But
Speaker 2: that could be fake news. You gotta be careful.
Speaker 3: If it's not fake news, it's made up, yes, is
Speaker 3: what it is. I didn't hear it anywhere. I just
Speaker 3: said it.
Speaker 2: But so I bought a couple books, and I've done
Speaker 2: a little bit of research, but I haven't done too
Speaker 2: deep because I don't want to. I don't want to
Speaker 2: like distort my brain yet on what Bigfoot is. I
Speaker 2: kind of want to let that develop as we do
Speaker 2: our investigations through it. But the Native American view on
Speaker 2: giant hairy creatures is not a good one. Most of
Speaker 2: the time. They are cannibals, they kill members of other
Speaker 2: Indian tribes. They're not good things. They're giants that do
Speaker 2: bad things, and usually they eat people. Now that is
Speaker 2: also the same kind of legend that's in other areas too,
Speaker 2: like well where the yetties are. Yeties aren't always good creatures.
Speaker 2: I mean, you have everything happening from being eaten by
Speaker 2: a yetti to being raped by a YETI to be
Speaker 2: you know, drug into a cave and beaten, and then
Speaker 2: you know, then somehow miraculously somebody escapes so that they
Speaker 2: can tell about these creatures doing this. You know, there's
Speaker 2: like all this weird stuff around Bigfoot, and it's not
Speaker 2: all good.
Speaker 3: Giant forest creatures. Yeah, bipedal forest creatures that eat other
Speaker 3: humans or beat Yeah. And I don't know if you
Speaker 3: were with us, you know, if you've listened to our
Speaker 3: last couple episodes. But we kind of touch on some
Speaker 3: other aspects of this, so.
Speaker 2: We even though we've been skirting around the idea of
Speaker 2: Bigfoot and trying to knowing that we were driving our
Speaker 2: way towards this conversation, you couldn't help but notice that
Speaker 2: there are a lot of like supernatural elements that come
Speaker 2: into play.
Speaker 3: Bigfoot constantly ask supernatural things.
Speaker 6: People are like, oh, well, he's got a an interrupter
Speaker 6: for when people are taking video, or he can disappear
Speaker 6: on command, or he lives in another dimension and only
Speaker 6: comes here for feeding, or you know silly things like that.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, okay, so think about it. You know,
Speaker 2: there have been literally hundreds of thousands of reportings of
Speaker 2: Bigfoot throughout the world, or sasquatch or that same creature
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. Photographs, there's been lots
Speaker 2: of photographs taking them. They're all blurry, they're all blurry.
Speaker 2: Shout out again to creatures. Ye, but there also has
Speaker 2: never been any real solid evidence found. We haven't found
Speaker 2: a Bigfoot body. Nope. I mean, you see those things.
Speaker 3: If I get the opportunity, I'm not make one.
Speaker 2: But you know, do you see the stuff from like
Speaker 2: Area fifty one where they found the alien bodies and
Speaker 2: supposedly it's true, there's some of that stuff out there
Speaker 2: about Sasquatch said, oh, yeah, we got them, but then
Speaker 2: the government's swooped in and they hauled them away in
Speaker 2: a giant helicopter. We talked about that with the our
Speaker 2: last episode in the The Giant of Kandahar Dar and
Speaker 2: the giant that was killed there and the giant helicopter
Speaker 2: came in, loaded him up in a cargo net and
Speaker 2: took him off never to be seen again.
Speaker 3: Was a giant driving the giant helicopter?
Speaker 2: No, he was dead.
Speaker 3: They shot the No like a different giant.
Speaker 2: No, it was just a military guy. And the in
Speaker 2: fact that one of the pilots of the helicopters supposedly
Speaker 2: has given his story out in the media.
Speaker 3: Is his story called picking up Harry Dudes in Afghanistan.
Speaker 2: No, I don't even know what he calls it. I
Speaker 2: just know that I've seen it. If you go out
Speaker 2: on the internet and serge Giants of Kandahar or the
Speaker 2: Giant of Candahar, you're going to find a kind of
Speaker 2: an illustrated, almost a graphic novel kind of look of
Speaker 2: the story, and it will kind of go through the
Speaker 2: whole thing school. It's kind of fun. Maybe if I can,
Speaker 2: I'll find the Lincoln.
Speaker 3: Posted on the video or like a click through.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a it's a video, but it's got
Speaker 2: so it's got narrative, but the actual animation is very
Speaker 2: like frame by frame, like a graphic novel.
Speaker 3: Patterson gilet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now that's sixteen things for a second man, or
Speaker 2: maybe eighteen. Some people dispute that it was shot in eighteen,
Speaker 2: but anyway, that's a whole different thing. We're not getting
Speaker 2: into that yet. We're staying high level, buddy, We're ten
Speaker 2: thousand feet view. We're probing our hearts and thoughts of
Speaker 2: what Bigfoot means to us right now. That's what this
Speaker 2: is about. Right now, what does Bigfoot mean to Rea?
Speaker 2: We're going to get into the other stuff, but this
Speaker 2: episode is about, you know, what's the perception a Bigfoot
Speaker 2: and asking the question why are people so interested in it?
Speaker 2: And why do people buy so much merch? We should
Speaker 2: create some merch so that we could sell it. I
Speaker 2: don't know big shoes? Hey, which Right now, I'm just
Speaker 2: going to say, because we've got time, if you send
Speaker 2: us your story about your encounter with Bigfoot, we would
Speaker 2: love to hear it. If you have a story, we
Speaker 2: would love to hear that, and we will send you swag.
Speaker 2: And I guarantee you that swag will be bigfoot themed.
Speaker 3: My dad's an artist to custom drawl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I did that one. We were going to
Speaker 2: hand them out at Squatch con WATCHCN twenty and they
Speaker 2: canceled it because of COVID. But anyway, so yeah, we'll
Speaker 2: send out some swag and you can get famous, or.
Speaker 3: It could be a semi legist story. Don't just send
Speaker 3: me one time I was hiking and I saw a sasquatch.
Speaker 3: Got you gotta give me some meat, give me some.
Speaker 2: It needs to be true. And also I'm going to
Speaker 2: talk to well, I have a Facebook friend who walks
Speaker 2: in some hills and finds or has found a lot
Speaker 2: of evidence of what she believes is a Bigfoot or
Speaker 2: a sasquatch living down in southern Idaho.
Speaker 3: That's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to get some of that information. Throw
Speaker 2: that out there. Really nice, lady. I don't know how
Speaker 2: do you unpack this? What do you do with this
Speaker 2: concept of bigfoot?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: So first off, let's I think we should give our
Speaker 3: own opinion a bigfoot. Yeah, like, what's your service level
Speaker 3: opinion bigfoot? Got Sasquatch, Bigfoot. Let's let's stick with Bigfoot
Speaker 3: in the Pacific Northwest where we're.
Speaker 2: At locally, and before we started doing all this weird research,
Speaker 2: what was our thoughts about Bigfoot? Okay, so as a kid,
Speaker 2: I wanted him to be true because I thought it
Speaker 2: was cool. But I was terrified of him. You know.
Speaker 2: I remember going up to Oregon and visiting an unclip
Speaker 2: there and walking through the forest and I was afraid
Speaker 2: that Bigfoot was going to jump out, jump out. H Yeah.
Speaker 2: So in my mind as a kid, you know, I
Speaker 2: believe that there was this creature and that for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: he was very mysterious. He wasn't like a bear, he
Speaker 2: wasn't like a mountain lion. He was rare, a rare bear.
Speaker 2: He was a rare creature that who knows why he existed.
Speaker 2: And then as I aged and got older, you heard
Speaker 2: other stories and he kind of, you know, blended in
Speaker 2: with a whole mythology of a Bigfoot and Indian legend
Speaker 2: and UFOs and all of this weird stuff that was
Speaker 2: just this kind of mystical side science fringe kind of deal.
Speaker 2: And so in high school, you know, I'd go out
Speaker 2: and I'd have thoughts when I would go out, you know,
Speaker 2: right in my motorcycle in the woods or fishing in
Speaker 2: a remote place. You know, I'd have a thought, what
Speaker 2: a bigfoot walk through there? Should So even though he
Speaker 2: wasn't proven to exist, he existed in my imagination and
Speaker 2: in my possibility of what was existing. And so it
Speaker 2: was a weird deal. And then as I got older,
Speaker 2: you know, and I saw the all the people drawing
Speaker 2: pictures of him, I was interested in him. From that standpoint,
Speaker 2: it was like a cool concept, kind of like a
Speaker 2: culture point of view, Yeah, like Greek mythology and Zeus
Speaker 2: and you know those creatures that were always you know,
Speaker 2: brought into existence through the creativity of a screenwriter or something. Right,
Speaker 2: And then you had when it came out with Harry
Speaker 2: and the Hendersons.
Speaker 3: You know, that was an anthropom.
Speaker 2: Thing and it kind of gave him a different side.
Speaker 2: Be Prior to that, he was a scary creature, possibly dangerous.
Speaker 2: But when Harry and the Henderson's came out, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, Foot was a good guy. He had a
Speaker 2: lot of integrity, like inquisitive, yeah, and he loved people,
Speaker 2: he loved life and all these good things. So he
Speaker 2: got all these good characteristics, and I guess I hope
Speaker 2: that that would be true if there was a big foot.
Speaker 3: You have a big foot pet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know, and then you kind of just
Speaker 2: see all this stuff coming out over the years, more
Speaker 2: and more people put you know, bumper stickers or the
Speaker 2: little decals on the back of their car windows or whatever,
Speaker 2: or you see people wearing T shirts or baseball cap
Speaker 2: and and then somewhere in there, probably in I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't even know when this happened, tears, then he
Speaker 2: started getting blended with like aliens.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I figured you were going there.
Speaker 2: And you see you saw a lot of like drawings
Speaker 2: of like a.
Speaker 3: Big foot abducted in a spaceship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in a ray of light. He said, this silhouette
Speaker 2: of it. And you're like, well, that's kind of weird.
Speaker 3: Or he lives in the hollow earth and he's bi
Speaker 3: dimensional or something dimensional.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then so then you go into when we
Speaker 2: started our podcast, and then we started talking about strange
Speaker 2: things surrounding, like cattle mutilations, and then all of a
Speaker 2: sudden there was a tie in there with like people
Speaker 2: seeing like cow is giving birth to like bigfoot, like creatures,
Speaker 2: and then your mind starts.
Speaker 3: Blowing, like what's going on here?
Speaker 2: Then you get into the governmental conspiracy part, and maybe
Speaker 2: the government is involved with the toleration or existence of
Speaker 2: these giant creatures. And then you get into not only that,
Speaker 2: then you start combining in like thoughts about the fallen
Speaker 2: angels and the Nephel Limb and the disembodied spirits and
Speaker 2: all of that, and then it just goes totally crazy weird.
Speaker 2: And then it's like, now it's like, in my mind,
Speaker 2: I had no idea what to think about that.
Speaker 3: It's just apparition.
Speaker 2: Oh and then there's that too.
Speaker 3: Yep, it's just like I mean to guide you there,
Speaker 3: but I was saying, he's just a thing, like a
Speaker 3: vapor in your mind.
Speaker 2: He's like like maybe a holographic kind of or maybe
Speaker 2: he's a presentation of something that's actually in a different
Speaker 2: dimension that can cross over occasionally. Why do you not
Speaker 2: find their bodies.
Speaker 3: Like the upside down? Do they not die things?
Speaker 2: Do they live forever? No, obviously they died, So do
Speaker 2: they eat their dead?
Speaker 3: They bury them?
Speaker 2: Do they bury them special underground place? And then you
Speaker 2: have all these reports of people digging up giant bones
Speaker 2: that the Smithsonian swoops in and steals and takes back
Speaker 2: to their giant underground warehouse bunker where they hide all
Speaker 2: the true information of what was happening before. You know,
Speaker 2: the dark ages interesting, it's weird. It is weird. So
Speaker 2: I mean, you can go way way down this rabbit hole.
Speaker 2: But in my mind, it was just it was just
Speaker 2: kind of a fun thing to think about, with the possibility,
Speaker 2: the titillation that maybe this is actually real. So okay,
Speaker 2: how about you.
Speaker 3: So I I have a picture here. I took this
Speaker 3: picture not because of sasquatch, but because of just memories
Speaker 3: I had at this place. And I'll show you the
Speaker 3: picture right here. You can see that that.
Speaker 2: Sign cape Horn Lake's Bradley Scout Camp.
Speaker 3: Do you remember Bradley Scout. I used to go there
Speaker 3: regularly by every summer camp. Bradley was like my favorite thing.
Speaker 2: Did you see a sasquatch?
Speaker 3: They used to do this thing called the Sasquatch hike,
Speaker 3: And I don't know what if they had megaphones or
Speaker 3: elk bugle tubes. Now, looking back as a hunter, I'm like,
Speaker 3: that might have been elk bugle tubes. But they used
Speaker 3: to make these shrill high pitched squeals, and they would
Speaker 3: have all of the boy scouts put their knives or
Speaker 3: whatever in a bucket. And then we at night and
Speaker 3: it's dark and we go up on this long hike and.
Speaker 2: Why did you put your knives in a bucket? I
Speaker 2: guess so you.
Speaker 3: Didn't have one point somebody freaked out and stabbed.
Speaker 2: Somebody or.
Speaker 3: Safety first, boy scout motto. But I remember going on
Speaker 3: this hike. That's kind of like the first time Sasquatch
Speaker 3: was a thing. I knew him as like a character,
Speaker 3: but I was a weird kid. I was watching Jurassic
Speaker 3: Park it like two, right, so monsters didn't bother me.
Speaker 3: But this this hikers were the first time where I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, this could be a real thing. And
Speaker 3: we go on this hike and we'd get to the
Speaker 3: top of this hill and then there'd be like this
Speaker 3: loud noise and everybody'd run back down. It would be
Speaker 3: mayhem for a little bit, and it was the point
Speaker 3: was to scare you. It was like a fun haunted house, but.
Speaker 2: The venture and you know, yeah, scariness and boy.
Speaker 3: Scout teen spirit kind of thing, you know. Yeah, And
Speaker 3: it's weird because I don't think I've ever held a
Speaker 3: man's hand.
Speaker 5: Except it was so dark too, I hold.
Speaker 3: Me like that was pretty funny, But that was last year.
Speaker 3: It was twenty two years.
Speaker 2: That's funny.
Speaker 3: But no, that's kind of like my first sasquatching. So
Speaker 3: he from the time he wasn't a cartoon character. He
Speaker 3: was like a scarier thing.
Speaker 2: What's the first memory you have of a potential Bigfoot understanding?
Speaker 2: Why not necessarily that it's real, but that that you
Speaker 2: remember that somebody was talking or showing a picture of
Speaker 2: a Bigfoot.
Speaker 3: I think the first time I can guarantee Bigfoot was
Speaker 3: a part of my conversation was at that camp at.
Speaker 2: Camp Bradley, But I know, and that would have been
Speaker 2: what twelve probably thirteen, nine ten somewhere.
Speaker 3: But I know for a fact that before that, I
Speaker 3: knew I had an idea of what Bigfoot was, maybe
Speaker 3: from TV shows or you or whatever, but I knew
Speaker 3: there was like this big monkey character that would appear
Speaker 3: in cartoons or whatever. So I knew kind of a
Speaker 3: generic idea of what he was. But the first time
Speaker 3: I can guarantee I knew and I saw, and I
Speaker 3: you know, had this Sasquatch memory is is at that
Speaker 3: camp at that time, and then after that it became
Speaker 3: more like a a representation of my personality, like wanting
Speaker 3: to go look at things and being creative and and
Speaker 3: liking the outdoors and you know, like this podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I want bumper stickers of it. I want it to
Speaker 3: be like a thing.
Speaker 2: Do you ever want to did you want to see him?
Speaker 3: If I saw him?
Speaker 2: I mean, have you wanted to actually find him? Or
Speaker 2: is it more like you almost don't want to because
Speaker 2: it's more the thought of him is funner than maybe
Speaker 2: what actually the reality of him may or may not
Speaker 2: be the thing for.
Speaker 3: Me is I'd like to see him. And I know
Speaker 3: I might get some flak for this, but I like
Speaker 3: to put a ten millimeter bullet is it?
Speaker 2: But what if it's like what if it's like.
Speaker 3: I don't care, I don't care what it is, but
Speaker 3: I would be famous and I would make a lot
Speaker 3: of money because I killed a big animal that nobody
Speaker 3: else was killed before.
Speaker 2: But it's like killing a giant elephant. How do you know? Well,
Speaker 2: because what if it attacked me? Well, elephant, Well, okay,
Speaker 2: that's that's that's okay, No, that's self preservation, that's self defense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but that's also you make a lot of money. But like, okay,
Speaker 2: you're you're walking through the woods. You look over and
Speaker 2: there's giant Harry and he's out there with his wife
Speaker 2: and they're having dinner with their little child or two
Speaker 2: maybe they have two, and they're out there and they're
Speaker 2: having a picnic out in the you know, out in
Speaker 2: the clearing, and you have your your rifle. Do you shoot?
Speaker 3: I would draw my rifle. I'd be like, why do
Speaker 3: you add an extra syllable to picnic? And then that,
Speaker 3: and then I would say, you're gonna let me take
Speaker 3: a picture of you.
Speaker 2: What if a gun? What if he's multi dimensional and
Speaker 2: transdimensional and a gun has no effect on.
Speaker 3: Him, then at least I'll have a good story. What
Speaker 3: if you're dead, then at least I'll be dead. I
Speaker 3: don't have to deal with it.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't personally. Okay, here's a good time. I don't
Speaker 3: think he's that real. I don't think he's a You
Speaker 3: don't think he exists. I don't think he exists. But
Speaker 3: if he did, I would love it. I wouldn't really
Speaker 3: kill him unless he attacked me, I'd kill him.
Speaker 2: Well, here's a week I would.
Speaker 3: I would be super excited and I would want to
Speaker 3: take pictures and it would be like a life changing moment.
Speaker 2: Right, here's the thing about me and the whole existence question,
Speaker 2: because that's that's huge. I know, you know, we do
Speaker 2: a strange thing podcast. We want him to exist because
Speaker 2: it's a strange thing.
Speaker 3: It would be great.
Speaker 2: But looking at it from a kind of more of
Speaker 2: a scientific view, I guess, so you have all this time.
Speaker 2: When I say all this time, but you have stories
Speaker 2: going back thousands of years in Native American history. I'm
Speaker 2: just talking about the region that we know. And then
Speaker 2: you have people having encounters all across the United States,
Speaker 2: well all over North America, right, and they're talking about
Speaker 2: this as it's a real thing. They are believers because
Speaker 2: they have seen it, heard it, and there are all
Speaker 2: these examples and classifications, there's all these people studying it,
Speaker 2: and there are all these reports. So let's just say,
Speaker 2: and I don't know, I'm guessing there are hundreds of
Speaker 2: thousands of those reports over the last thirty years. If
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of them are totally made up and fabricated,
Speaker 2: that would still leave five percent or five thousand incidents
Speaker 2: that have some kind of validity.
Speaker 3: It would only take one. It would only take one,
Speaker 3: It would only take one proof. Yeah, but it's all anecdotal.
Speaker 3: It is anecdotal. Means nothing to me unless it's my
Speaker 3: anecdotal evidence.
Speaker 2: Well, it's like UFOs. You have people seeing this stuff.
Speaker 2: There's no evidence, but you have the stories over and
Speaker 2: over and over and over and over again. So maybe
Speaker 2: way back, okay, let's play this out. Way back. A
Speaker 2: Native American Indian family father is trying to teach his
Speaker 2: kids to not be out late because there's predators. There's bears,
Speaker 2: there's cougars, there's wolves, there's coyotes, whatever, and so how
Speaker 2: does he keep them in. They don't run into a
Speaker 2: cougar very much. They don't run into a coyote very much.
Speaker 2: They're not scared. They got a knife and a little
Speaker 2: pretend bow and arrow. What if he dresses up as
Speaker 2: like a giant.
Speaker 3: Harry cage himself and leaves and stuff.
Speaker 2: And combines that with the legends and mysticisms of the
Speaker 2: tribe about these these creatures that love to eat little
Speaker 2: Indian children.
Speaker 3: Make scary noises and chase your kids and.
Speaker 2: Trees and howl and scared, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about your kids going out
Speaker 2: and getting eaten by a lot of folklore.
Speaker 3: Is made that way. We talked about that with the
Speaker 3: uh water babies.
Speaker 2: Right exactly on the Yeah, yes, stay away from water.
Speaker 3: Water is dangerous, especially at night. Water is dangerous, especially
Speaker 3: if there's a current and you kind of like build
Speaker 3: up this stay away from the water, or a little
Speaker 3: baby might jump in and grab you and pull you
Speaker 3: under and you know, take you away.
Speaker 2: So you have that maybe it's maybe some of it's that,
Speaker 2: you know, but it's fun to think about.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's super fun.
Speaker 2: But then you know, we got into the weeds with
Speaker 2: the whole fallen angel things and the nephelims and the
Speaker 2: possible disembodied spirits and the need for a body or
Speaker 2: a home for a spirit to live in, right, so
Speaker 2: that it wasn't like floating around. And we talked about
Speaker 2: how you know when Jesus would cast out a demon
Speaker 2: that he told the story that those demons it was
Speaker 2: painful for them to not have a body, and they
Speaker 2: long to get back into a body. Right. The piggies, right, so, yeah,
Speaker 2: they run into the herd of pigs and they run
Speaker 2: down and drown themselves. But which is weird. But anyway,
Speaker 2: what if it's something like that. What if it is
Speaker 2: a some kind of technology that allows disembodied spirits to
Speaker 2: have a.
Speaker 3: Home like like space jam jam like space.
Speaker 2: Okay? Or so the other one is what if these
Speaker 2: are the offspring of the Nephilim. We talked about this
Speaker 2: one of our previous episodes, where you have these comes
Speaker 2: down and these fallen beings you can call them fallen
Speaker 2: angels or fallen elowhem, fallen gods, whatever you want to
Speaker 2: use as the word for elowheem. And they come down,
Speaker 2: they see that human women are beautiful, and they procreate
Speaker 2: with them, and they have these offspring and in the
Speaker 2: Bible and in the Book of Ni, they're called the
Speaker 2: Nephlim or the Rafaem, And these were hugely large, strange
Speaker 2: beasts that had a giant appetite for violence. Cannibal legends
Speaker 2: are all mixed in with them. So in the Bible
Speaker 2: you have the story of Og, you have the story
Speaker 2: of the Goliath, and so you have all these weird
Speaker 2: stories about these giant creatures that were the offspring of
Speaker 2: these you know, these fallen gods or fallen angels. Is
Speaker 2: that what these are?
Speaker 3: And they're kind of like disformed. Maybe they're extra hairy,
Speaker 3: or they're extra big, or they're extra strong.
Speaker 2: I think they can be extra smart.
Speaker 3: Bridge trolls too, yeah, Bridge trolls and they come out
Speaker 3: and they're like your belly.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The stories of trolls, the Germanic legends of trolls
Speaker 2: and those kinds of creatures that would eat babies at
Speaker 2: or eat young children. Yeah, I mean they permeate history.
Speaker 3: And they're all over the world too. I don't know
Speaker 3: about like African culture so much.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they have the same kind of legends some
Speaker 2: called something different, but even like a Native American stuff
Speaker 2: like skin walkers and stuff, where there are these creatures
Speaker 2: that can take on the forms of different So you
Speaker 2: have shape shifters. Yeah, is it a shape shifter? Is
Speaker 2: that a trans dimensional being that can kind of phase
Speaker 2: in and phase out of our dimension? Right, It doesn't
Speaker 2: make him any less real if that exists. It's just
Speaker 2: something we can't understand and perceive exactly, right. So there's
Speaker 2: that angle. I mean, there are like dozens of ways
Speaker 2: that you could try to interpret this stuff.
Speaker 3: So you could go biological, for bigfoot. Yeah, he's a sneaky,
Speaker 3: sneaky animal that's above the intelligence of a typical forest animal.
Speaker 2: Or maybe of an ape. Maybe he's advanced beyond him.
Speaker 3: He's the missing type thing. Yeah, it could be you
Speaker 3: could be a biological aspect. You could be a spiritual aspect,
Speaker 3: which would be like he's you know, like we've been
Speaker 3: talking the son of a man and an angel, and
Speaker 3: it creates this being that's either transdimensional or you know,
Speaker 3: you got this weird purple woo woo type purple. You
Speaker 3: think you've got this weird kind of woo woo type mystical,
Speaker 3: magical realmy.
Speaker 2: He said, to dig yourself out of that one.
Speaker 3: I'm digging myself out of a woo woo. Jeez. Say
Speaker 3: who ha.
Speaker 2: Know who has We're not talking about who else.
Speaker 3: And then there's a aspect of it being like a
Speaker 3: mechanical type thing or like a a clone, or or
Speaker 3: like a technological advancement that is used by.
Speaker 2: A cyborg or yeah, what do they call that, where
Speaker 2: a synthetic.
Speaker 3: Synthetic grays are considered the gray aliens are considered to
Speaker 3: be like robot.
Speaker 2: And there's another connection possibility of like some of the
Speaker 2: aliens that are these are synthetic bodies for these disembodied.
Speaker 3: Spirits, like in Independence State where my face stars as
Speaker 3: Randy Quaid and he's like and it's like, there's this
Speaker 3: big octopus type monster, but inside is a small alien
Speaker 3: that pilots of this biological so biomagnological, biomechanically so biomechanical.
Speaker 2: And then you have synthetic, and then you have well
Speaker 2: and then also you have the idea that the genetic
Speaker 2: manipulation of hybrids or chimeras, okay, and that would require
Speaker 2: extreme tech, which you know, a lot of people, you know,
Speaker 2: they speculate that the Antilivion world or pre Noah's flood,
Speaker 2: that there was extreme technology brought down by these nephelim
Speaker 2: angels or these fallen elohem.
Speaker 3: I would lump that into my technological.
Speaker 2: Except for the difference on this is that they weren't
Speaker 2: the spawn of the coedis of humans and elohem. They
Speaker 2: were the result of scientific manipulation of DNA.
Speaker 3: We'll call that the Jurassic Park theory.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jurassic Park theory. So there is that because
Speaker 2: I bring that up because in our Cattle Mulations episode,
Speaker 2: we talked about the possibility of the government being involved
Speaker 2: in a cover up that we're using bovine DNA, which
Speaker 2: is very similar for testing to human DNA, to create
Speaker 2: basically clones or bodies for these spirits, maybe in trade
Speaker 2: for secret information on tech for space travel, or for
Speaker 2: creating a flying saucer that can defy gravity. Maybe these
Speaker 2: things have information on technology, but they need humans, they
Speaker 2: need reality, They need people in this dimension to help
Speaker 2: create the bodies that they can inhabit.
Speaker 3: That's like a combination of the last few that is,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I get you really cool, it's bigot DNA.
Speaker 2: It is like the best combination of sci fi fantasy
Speaker 2: history methods, like.
Speaker 3: The Blade Runner meets Jurassic Park meets a Poltergeist or
Speaker 3: the Exorcist exist.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, let's just say that Flip k Dick. Flip
Speaker 2: would totally get off on this kind of conversation. And
Speaker 2: I know, you know we're being extreme, We're going way
Speaker 2: far on this, But that's the fun of this. That's
Speaker 2: why we call this podcast a strange thing, is because
Speaker 2: I mean, these things are strange, and I love the
Speaker 2: freedom to talk about strange things. I don't necessarily believe that.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you see me on the street. Don't
Speaker 2: come up and punch me in the face because you
Speaker 2: think I'm some whack beard.
Speaker 3: Whack beard, Yeah, you're weird just for saying that I
Speaker 3: got a beard that was whacked beard.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I have the freedom, and not only the freedom,
Speaker 2: but I almost think the way my brain works, I'm
Speaker 2: supposed to think about this stuff. Yeah, I can't help it.
Speaker 2: It's fun, it's fun, but it's just what happens. It
Speaker 2: just doesn't well, you know, Austin, this is going to
Speaker 2: be a really fun series. We're going to go over
Speaker 2: a lot of different angles and thoughts about Sasquatch, and
Speaker 2: it's really going to be fun. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 2: hoping that people will share their stories with us, because
Speaker 2: one thing I want to do is do like a
Speaker 2: whole episode that just features people's stories.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just real stories that people have sent us that.
Speaker 2: Aren't Bigfoot stole my candy bore and I.
Speaker 3: Heard one to day. I'll tell it right now. Okay,
Speaker 3: this guy, he's walking with his friend. It's dark, and
Speaker 3: they were shooting rabbits or something. They're coming back to
Speaker 3: the house there in the woods. I don't remember the
Speaker 3: exact location, and He says he heard a noise behind him,
Speaker 3: and he saw something on all fours that was darker
Speaker 3: than the darkness around it. And then as they were
Speaker 3: running getting closer to the house, they looked back and
Speaker 3: it was standing up right like a human, and it
Speaker 3: had glowing eyes, and then they ran into the house.
Speaker 3: It's like, have you ever seen a black bear? Like, yes,
Speaker 3: blackberries will get jet black, they'll stand up, they'll look
Speaker 3: at you. And any predator, almost any animal predator specifically,
Speaker 3: you shine a light in their eyes, they're gonna shine,
Speaker 3: they're gonna glimmer. Yeah, especially when you get closer to
Speaker 3: your house where the lights are as a bear, but.
Speaker 2: If you saw something, heard something, smelled something. There's a
Speaker 2: whole category list of big foot phenomena, Like they'll rank
Speaker 2: it as like, well, this is a class A, class
Speaker 2: B or eventually, yeah, we'll get into that. We're going
Speaker 2: to do all that. But I would love for people
Speaker 2: to just chime in if they don't have a bigfoot story,
Speaker 2: as far as like their experience with it. I would
Speaker 2: love to hear their experience with the idea of bigfoot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know what what triggered you? If you're a bigfoot lover,
Speaker 2: why do you love bigfoot?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear the story of your memories, what
Speaker 2: your thought processes are, because you don't hear that stuff
Speaker 2: you hear about, Well, this is the science of bigfoot,
Speaker 2: or this is what the story is a bigfoot? But
Speaker 2: what about the people? What do you think of? What
Speaker 2: have you experienced that makes bigfoot something that you want
Speaker 2: to know about?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Why do you love it? I'd love to hear those stories.
Speaker 3: And I don't want to discourage somebody from sending something in.

Speaker 2: something you think is bigfoot, word the to share, send
Speaker 2: it right, Let's just say that there you go. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so send in your story, sending your pictures, go to

Speaker 2: about why bigfoot is something that you.
Speaker 3: Are interested in. Yeah, and definitely send us a story
Speaker 3: where you've encountered such a beast.
Speaker 2: And we're gonna have fun. But I think we're gonna
Speaker 2: take a little different angle because we're hacks and we're
Speaker 2: gonna come at it from the side. We're gonna say, oh,
Speaker 2: what do you think about when you think about bigfoot?
Speaker 2: And share that with this We love that.

Speaker 3: I've been looking at a stag up.
Speaker 2: In the mountains yep. And we have also gone on
Speaker 2: our investigation launch. We went up to the same area actually,
Speaker 2: and we did wilderness. We didn't find Bigfoot or anything.
Speaker 2: But we're gonna go back and we're going to try
Speaker 2: to get a buck, and we're gonna look for Bigfoot
Speaker 2: while we're there again, and we might record our next episode,
Speaker 2: which is I'd like to hear stories about people's experiences
Speaker 2: with Bigfoot. Oh yeah, before we launch into the science
Speaker 2: or the crypto zoology. I want to hear just what's happened?
Speaker 2: Why has this become such a huge phenomena.
Speaker 3: And that's that's kind of the plan. We're gonna sit
Speaker 3: around the campfire, YEP. I'm gonna bring my kindle. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna download some stories that I've heard and I'll write
Speaker 3: them so they're not too old timey or too broke.
Speaker 2: You're gonna read and write. My heart is just in shock.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to write good. But I'm gonna, you know,
Speaker 3: make it a nice presentation. Probably not. Don't get your
Speaker 3: hopes up people.

Speaker 2: some cool ones. You.
Speaker 3: Okay, you swim out in the middle of the ocean
Speaker 3: and stack rocks and make like a cool balancing rock
Speaker 3: in the ocean, I'll give you some credit. But if
Speaker 3: you stack rocks on a path that's perfectly flat, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna kick it over and I'm gonna yell at you.
Speaker 2: You're gonna say that's stupid. Your rocks suck, Yeah, unlike
Speaker 2: a strange rocks did not suck. If you if you
Speaker 2: our episodes of strange rocks that suck, we stacked concept
Speaker 2: not little rocks. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3: If you use a rock as a way to communicate
Speaker 3: to somebody and not say jo, but say something like
Speaker 3: meaningful or draw map or give your friend. If you
Speaker 3: scratch in your rock camp and then point an arrow
Speaker 3: up towards where your camp is, I'd be like, dang,
Speaker 3: that's pretty cool rock card.
Speaker 2: What if they stacked rock in the silhouette of the
Speaker 2: classic Bigfoot Stride and when at eight.
Speaker 3: Forty five every day the shadow is a Bigfoot see
