<v Speaker 3>to your leader, Bobes. What's happening?

10
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 4>Not much, just I got some good weather down here.

11
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:46.960
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty nice out, get a little out for work

12
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 4>for a minute or two and coming in for a

13
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 4>little podcast.

14
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 3>And excellent, excellent. You got to take advantage of the

15
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 3>weather and get outside and look for some sasquatch footprintcess

16
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 3>has been dumping rain for the for the past X

17
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 3>number of days. This is a great opportunity to do so.

18
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 3>I know Freeman found a lot of his footprints because

19
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 3>the snow melts and stuff. He tried to be the

20
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 3>first guy on a certain road after the snow is

21
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 3>melting and everything and just kind of walking and stuff.

22
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 3>This is the opportunity. So I'm trying to get out,

23
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.359
<v Speaker 3>but having some trouble with my barn situation, getting the

24
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 3>roof back on it. But other than that, I'm going

25
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 3>to try to get down the woods as soon as

26
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.480
<v Speaker 3>possible to walk these roads and look for prints.

27
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 4>That's quite a project, you get there, Cliff that roof.

28
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, and they're they're yeah. A long story, man,

29
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 3>long story. There's just always something with this thing, you know,

30
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 3>construction is, you know, you like everything's in order, then

31
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 3>suddenly you run out of something. Everything's in you reorder that.

32
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Then suddenly what turns out what you got is the

33
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 3>wrong size, and it's like, oh man, it's just brutal. Right,

34
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 3>but so far, so good. They were supposed to finish today,

35
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 3>but again, wrong size is something. So now I have

36
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 3>a seventy foot long, one foot wide hole in my roof.

37
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 3>The rain's coming in a couple of days, so we'll see,

38
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 3>we'll see what happens. Man. It's just always an adventure.

39
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like everything was fine when Bobo's trailer was in there.

40
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, everything was always better when Bobo's trailer was there.

41
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

42
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>It was like a talisman that had a protective shield,

43
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>like a spell. It cast like a wide net of

44
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>protection over your outbuilding.

45
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 4>Unfortunately, Cliff has to learn the hard way. We all do.

46
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know we all have to learn the

47
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 3>hard way. I'm a lifelong learner too, I'll tell you.

48
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 3>But you know, maybe we can do a little bit

49
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 3>of learning and teach them today too. It's a Q

50
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 3>and A today, of course, and all the questions are

51
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 3>submitted by you, the listeners. If you want to submit

52
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 3>a question, to hit that link that Matt Prude always

53
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 3>puts down in the show notes there, and you can

54
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 3>of course write as an email as many of you

55
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 3>have chosen to do. Or the cooler and more fun option,

56
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 3>perhaps maybe is to actually record a voicemail for us

57
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 3>asking your question. We have a couple of those today

58
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 3>as well.

59
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Should we just.

60
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 3>Hop right into it?

61
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>We should? I want to throw a caveat in there

62
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>real quick, because we did get a couple of additional

63
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 2>voicemails that just the audio was very bad and haven't

64
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>really had that happen before. So I would just say

65
00:02:57.759 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 2>to folks, if you're going to submit a voicemail, just

66
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.479
<v Speaker 2>makes you're at home in a quiet room and not

67
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>like driving or with the TV on in the background

68
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>or something super noisy, because it does use your phone

69
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 2>mic and those are pretty sensitive, and so a couple

70
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 2>of them were just like unlistenable for all you would be.

71
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Voicemail submitters go somewhere quiet.

72
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 3>You know who you are, whoever you are.

73
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, here is the first voicemail. Hi Cliff, Hi Bobo.

74
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 5>This is Josh Kiltmaker, longtime fan of both of you

75
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 5>and your work. My question is a kind of a

76
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 5>comment that leads into a question. Over the past fifteen years,

77
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 5>we've seen a lot of projects, missions, and areas that

78
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 5>start off with a big bang, a lot of promising

79
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:50.319
<v Speaker 5>reports and excitement surrounding them, i e. The Olympic Project

80
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 5>Area x, Melbo, Ketchem, et cetera, and they just kind

81
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 5>of sort of fade away and nothing ever is resolved

82
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 5>or achieved big moment. So my question is, is anything happening

83
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.479
<v Speaker 5>now that you either of you know that might be

84
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 5>the winning ticket.

85
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

86
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate your input and thank you so much for

87
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 5>your podcast.

88
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 4>Have a good one, guys. I say, first off, that

89
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 4>last name of kilt Maker. That's the best thing I've

90
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 4>heard in a long long time. That's awesome.

91
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've never heard that last name before, but I

92
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 3>have been known to Donna kilt or two in my time, at.

93
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 4>Least one for sure. Some Yeah, you can ask this

94
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 4>question better the big clip because you're talking to Derby.

95
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 4>It's communication with him.

96
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think Darby is the thing I have the

97
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 3>most hoping that there's actually going to be some sort

98
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 3>of resolution or some serious, serious progress. I do speak

99
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 3>to Derby in a fairly regular basis. In fact, he listens,

100
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 3>he tells me straight out. I listened to almost all

101
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 3>your Q and A, so he's probably listening now to

102
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 3>this very question. I think Derby is the thing right

103
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 3>now that I have the most hope in that we're

104
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 3>going to actually get somewhere. Whether proves the species, well,

105
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>I certainly hope it does, but I think we might

106
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 3>be able to learn something actually from this.

107
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 4>Now.

108
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 3>Keep in mind, though, so a couple of the things

109
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 3>you mentioned. The only two that I can remember is

110
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker 3>the Melbow thing, and that just turned into a mess,

111
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 3>and you can read, you know, books about it like the.

112
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 4>Sasquatch Doctor Hearts.

113
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, exactly, Haskell Heart's book at a brain fart there.

114
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 3>But the Olympic Project stuff. I think the Olympic Project stuff.

115
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 3>I know that it started with a bank, so to speak,

116
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 3>and from the outside perspective, it kind of fizzled, but

117
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 3>it didn't really. It didn't. It started with a bank

118
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 3>because they announced it essentially, but it had been going

119
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.560
<v Speaker 3>on long before the announcement, so you got to keep

120
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 3>that in mind. There's a public face of this stuff

121
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 3>and then there's a behind the scenes stuff that it's

122
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 3>always going on. Oh the other thing was Area X too,

123
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 3>So they have a good spot basically. That's what that

124
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 3>came down to. They had a good spot and they

125
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 3>were doing a concerted, organized effort essentially. But both of

126
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 3>those situations are still ongoing. But as far as the

127
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Olympic Project stuff goes, Yeah, yeah, there was a nest stuff.

128
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 3>They studied that for quite a while. They found a

129
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 3>bunch of these things, and then later they announced it

130
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 3>to the public, which was the bang part, And the

131
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 3>fizzle part is that the public doesn't get a lot

132
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 3>more information about it unless they're actually out, you know,

133
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 3>going in here in Shane or Derek or Chris or

134
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 3>some of these people speaking, you know, Dave Ellis for example.

135
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 3>But the Nest stuff is still going on, and it's

136
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 3>just one of a couple of things they have on

137
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 3>the burners as well. I think it's amongst the more

138
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 3>important things they have on the burner. But let's look

139
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 3>at what we actually got out of that. We got

140
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 3>a really interesting behavior that had been reported sporadically in

141
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 3>the literature for a long time and never really supported

142
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 3>very well by other stuff. And also, much like this

143
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 3>whole stick structure thing that I'm always kind of like

144
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 3>casting a sidelong, dubious glance at, there had been very

145
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.120
<v Speaker 3>very few, if any, to my knowledge, direct one to

146
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.920
<v Speaker 3>one correlations with nests. With the nests, it's a little

147
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.759
<v Speaker 3>bit different the nests. There were, and there were several

148
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 3>supporting pieces of information. Obviously, there were sightings in the area,

149
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 3>which is interesting in itself because it's a closed area

150
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 3>that's private land. Blah blah blah, unusual artifacts found. I

151
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 3>guess we can say the nest situation. We had biologists

152
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 3>go to the location and say, yeah, that this is

153
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 3>bear behavior, this is undocumented bear behavior, and bears are

154
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 3>really the only other culprit that might be responsible for

155
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 3>this kind of thing. There were those stones that were

156
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 3>knocked together. There were when they dissected how the nests

157
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.079
<v Speaker 3>was made, they found that sticks were shoved into the

158
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.759
<v Speaker 3>ground and other sticks were woven around them. That's very

159
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 3>unusual for any sort of animal out there that doesn't

160
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 3>have hands. And then, of course the next nest site

161
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 3>that was discovered I personally was involved in much more

162
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 3>heavily than the first nest site. I saw the first

163
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 3>nest but long after they were discovered, but I was there,

164
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 3>I think within a week or something of the second

165
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 3>nest site being discovered, and I personally found and documented

166
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 3>hand prints at the location, several footprints from underneath the

167
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.079
<v Speaker 3>NeSSI material. So we have a direct one to one

168
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 3>correlation now with these nests and sasquatches, which is something

169
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 3>that was missing before and never documented to my knowledge beforehand.

170
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.720
<v Speaker 3>So there's several footprint casts and handprint casts from this location,

171
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 3>and a couple of those are on display at the

172
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 3>North American Bigfoot Center. It might add too, they're publicly displayed.

173
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:24.720
<v Speaker 3>And then on top of it, Okay, so we have

174
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 3>interesting behavior, these nests are somehow associated with sasquatches, and

175
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 3>then that second nest site in particular that sasquatch was

176
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:36.320
<v Speaker 3>repurposing a bear den. That's super interesting. That's really interesting

177
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.039
<v Speaker 3>behavior that never been documented before, but makes a lot

178
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 3>of sense, and of course, now you know, years after

179
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.360
<v Speaker 3>all this stuff is kind of like settled down. There

180
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:49.399
<v Speaker 3>have been visual observations of sasquatches in this property or

181
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 3>on this property. There have been footprint finds from this property.

182
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Chris Spencer most of his audio work or a lot

183
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 3>of his audio work has been from this same property,

184
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 3>so this is an ongoing location. I think that the

185
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 3>fizzle down part might be dism misinterpreted. So it's not

186
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:10.960
<v Speaker 3>like there was a bang and then you hear then

187
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.639
<v Speaker 3>there's nothing going on. There's actually a bang, a big

188
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 3>announcement of some sort, and then the Olympic Project in

189
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:23.240
<v Speaker 3>particular gets deployed long term in this location, visiting it

190
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 3>as much as as they possibly can, and then studying it.

191
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 3>I've seen some of Chris Spencer's Excel files about audio

192
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 3>vocalizations and they're fantastic. These guys are still working the

193
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.480
<v Speaker 3>area now. Is there are more nests being found? Not

194
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 3>that I've heard, of course, you know, but they're getting

195
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:42.759
<v Speaker 3>patterns down, and I think that that's something you got

196
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 3>to keep in mind. Just like what I said a

197
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 3>couple of weeks ago in the last the Q and A,

198
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 3>and I'll say it again too, that like the Darby

199
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 3>thing I think right now holds the North Carolina State

200
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 3>University thing holds the most promise. But just like the

201
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Olympic Project thing, just like the long term study at

202
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 3>the area X for an AWAC, real science takes a

203
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:06.039
<v Speaker 3>long time, and it's not that there's going to be

204
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 3>a finding from the Olympic Project, nest site and Darby studies.

205
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 3>There are many of them. Some of these hold a

206
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.320
<v Speaker 3>lot of promise to have a finding that would be

207
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.480
<v Speaker 3>a cool announcement. The rest of these are like, okay,

208
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.639
<v Speaker 3>sasquatches are there. Now we have to document their behavior

209
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 3>over a long period of time, which to me is

210
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 3>by far the most interesting thing. You can show me

211
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.720
<v Speaker 3>a picture of a bigfoot.

212
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it.

213
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Might think it's cool, but the most interesting thing about

214
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 3>these animals is what they're doing day to day. To me,

215
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 3>I think a long term study, years and years and

216
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.399
<v Speaker 3>years study of one particular area is to me probably

217
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.120
<v Speaker 3>the most fascinating thing one can do. And that's what

218
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 3>at least both of these areas, to my knowledge, are

219
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 3>being subjected to well.

220
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I think too. A big part of it is that

221
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.039
<v Speaker 2>when the initial announcement is made or the first set

222
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.440
<v Speaker 2>of findings. A lot of the commentators, let's say, like

223
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>podcasters or YouTube channel hosts, et cetera. They'll all reach

224
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 2>out and they all want to talk about it, and

225
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>so the people are sort of reiterating those initial findings,

226
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.679
<v Speaker 2>and because those make the rounds, it seems like there's

227
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 2>a big buzz, but really it's multiple iterations of a

228
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.759
<v Speaker 2>description of the same initial findings or initial observations, et cetera.

229
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>And then as they get focused on things, you know,

230
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>there's less to report on without just reiterating what's already

231
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.639
<v Speaker 2>been reiterated multiple times. And so I can see how

232
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.159
<v Speaker 2>to an outsider it would seem like, oh, there was

233
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>all this buzz and then it just went quiet. But

234
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.039
<v Speaker 2>it's a little bit more complex than that.

235
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so don't lose heart. Don't lose heart. I think

236
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.159
<v Speaker 3>that's the big takeaway from what I'm trying to say least,

237
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:40.799
<v Speaker 3>is that a big splash is great. It makes a

238
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 3>lot of noise all at once, but then you're swimming

239
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 3>for a while. That's cool too. And I think with

240
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 3>patients and hope and a good dash of luck, maybe

241
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 3>more stuff that will come out of there, you know,

242
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.120
<v Speaker 3>maybe more nests will be found in that area, or

243
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 3>someone like myself or you know, whoever I had, or

244
00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, various Olympic Project members and stuff who are

245
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 3>familiar the nest. Maybe they're going to find other locations

246
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 3>similar to these, where there are other nests. That would

247
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 3>be a huge find as well. A discovery begs questions,

248
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 3>and questions are the basis of hypotheses, and that's when

249
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.840
<v Speaker 3>you get to start testing what's going on, what's going

250
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.279
<v Speaker 3>on here, and then trying things in different areas or

251
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 3>in different locales in that same area. I think there's

252
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.360
<v Speaker 3>a lot going on in all of these cases. Maybe

253
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 3>not the Melbow things so much. I don't know what's

254
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 3>going on with that. I don't really care. But these

255
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 3>other things, I particularly the Olympic Projects stuff, since I

256
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:34.960
<v Speaker 3>know all these people and I've been up there and stuff,

257
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm very interested in what they're doing. And they are

258
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 3>not sitting on their laurels. They are not being idle.

259
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Stuff is going on and it's a long term, slow drip,

260
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.440
<v Speaker 3>and so far, I think it's fascinating what they've been doing.

261
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

262

<v Speaker 4>Hey, guys, love the podcast. This is Gregan Grand Rapids, Michigan.

301
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 4>Click question, what are your thoughts on the Miller documents?

302
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Let me know take care. Yeah, I don't know, squad

303
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 2>about that man some for the audience if you're not familiar.

304
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:12.279
<v Speaker 2>The quote unquote Miller documents were quote unquote submitted to

305
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.919
<v Speaker 2>a prominent bigfoot blog that this person said, Hey, I

306
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:22.360
<v Speaker 2>received this email, and according to the writer of the email, like, oh,

307
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.840
<v Speaker 2>my uncle or grandfather, you know, some older relative passed

308
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.159
<v Speaker 2>away and we found these documents among his belongings. And

309
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.279
<v Speaker 2>I've typed this up for you, the writer of this blog,

310
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:36.759
<v Speaker 2>as you are the most credible person in all of sasquatry,

311
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>and you're the only person that can be trusted with

312
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.639
<v Speaker 2>this information. And it basically was written in like a

313
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.799
<v Speaker 2>first person sort of narrative about a guy who claimed

314
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.679
<v Speaker 2>that you know, he went to Yale and then began

315
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.480
<v Speaker 2>working for I believe it was like the Department of Agriculture,

316
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.240
<v Speaker 2>and that he and his colleagues had essentially discovered the

317
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:59.399
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch and like six subspecies thereof. But we did a

318
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.799
<v Speaker 2>bit of a discussion of that with Steve Coles for

319
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:05.200
<v Speaker 2>the members only episode that accompanied Steve Coles's main episode,

320
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Speaker 2>which by now listeners will have heard, So if you

321
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.440
<v Speaker 2>want to hear a little bit more about that. But

322
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 2>now there's no reason to think that that was anything

323
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:17.600
<v Speaker 2>other than a fabrication, likely based on a real person

324
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>who really was a scientist and did some real writings,

325
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and someone took his writings and took some playful creative

326
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:29.159
<v Speaker 2>license and adapted it to be this top secret Sasquatch document.

327
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:33.159
<v Speaker 2>It's poorly written, full of errors and things of that nature.

328
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.159
<v Speaker 2>So unfortunately that's the story with the Miller doc. But

329
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:37.960
<v Speaker 2>if you want to hear more of the details and

330
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>essentially why we know that it's a hoax and where

331
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the works that it was derived from, go listen to

332
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the members only episode with Steve Coles.

333
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

334
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.399
<v Speaker 3>I am blissfully unaware of all of that, and I

335
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.080
<v Speaker 3>couldn't be happier about it because it sounds like a

336
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:52.679
<v Speaker 3>bunch of hohoha.

337
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

338
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:55.320
<v Speaker 2>This was a little over a decade ago and it

339
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.559
<v Speaker 2>made a big buzz. A lot of people were talking

340
00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.320
<v Speaker 2>about it and thought it was legitimate. That's why when

341
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I was talking with Steve, I said, oh, yeah, we

342
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.600
<v Speaker 2>get questions about that all the time. And it was

343
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.400
<v Speaker 2>after we recorded that episode with Steve that this voicemail

344
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:09.960
<v Speaker 2>came in just you know, another example of asking about that.

345
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I remember Steve talking and you talking about that

346
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.680
<v Speaker 3>on the podcast. I just had no experience or knowledge

347
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 3>of it at all, so I just tried to set I

348
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:18.359
<v Speaker 3>tried to sit that one out.

349
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.079
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, that's that's the story with that Greg. So

350
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.160
<v Speaker 2>if you do want the deeper story, check out the

351
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.279
<v Speaker 2>members only episode.

352
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:29.240
<v Speaker 4>Even I didn't fall for that one, soul got into

353
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.119
<v Speaker 4>this first written one, I think. So Okay, this first

354
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.400
<v Speaker 4>one's for Jamie Incs. Hello, Cliff, Matt, and Bobbo. What

355
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.799
<v Speaker 4>are some of the funnier sasquatch of condo stows you

356
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 4>have experienced or have heard about? Thanks for the show

357
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.680
<v Speaker 4>and have a beautiful day. I think again, what I

358
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:49.240
<v Speaker 4>heard was when we were in Virginia about a sasquatch

359
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.839
<v Speaker 4>getting into some still illegal whiskey still in the mountains,

360
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.200
<v Speaker 4>some moon shiners, and the thing was drunk way in

361
00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:58.880
<v Speaker 4>the middle of the mash pile, and it came like

362
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.799
<v Speaker 4>daybreak morning, and thing was just super hammered, stumbled off.

363
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.640
<v Speaker 4>I've heard I've heard like two or three of those

364
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.559
<v Speaker 4>about them getting it was stills getting hammered.

365
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've never heard anything like that, but I'm sure

366
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:12.720
<v Speaker 3>it does happen. It does happen all the all sorts

367
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:14.880
<v Speaker 3>of other wildlife, you know, bears and hogs and all

368
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 3>that sort of stuff.

369
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 4>You heard it, you're at the cliff is. A witness

370
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.119
<v Speaker 4>told us that we were like that carnival thing with

371
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.759
<v Speaker 4>the band playing Bigfoot songs.

372
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:23.960
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot going on that day. Man. I don't

373
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.440
<v Speaker 3>remember that one, but I believe it. But yeah, I

374
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.839
<v Speaker 3>think the the funniest one I heard is that I

375
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:33.039
<v Speaker 3>heard a story from somebody who's probably a little little

376
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.759
<v Speaker 3>little weird that uh, he didn't see it, but he

377
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.240
<v Speaker 3>took he supposedly took a report of a sasquatch walking

378
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:44.640
<v Speaker 3>across the road in an orange puffy jacket wearing sunglasses. Yeah,

379
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 3>no pants or anything like that though, So let's hope

380
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.240
<v Speaker 3>it was a sasquatch though, instead of just somebody else

381
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.240
<v Speaker 3>just wearing an orange buffy jacket, sunglasses and no pants.

382
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.519
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of reports, or several of them, where

383
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.119
<v Speaker 4>they have like a shirt sort of too small form

384
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.799
<v Speaker 4>with like just like stretched out, like the collar ripped

385
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 4>and just draped over the over their like you know,

386
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.720
<v Speaker 4>over their head, draped over their shoulders because they're way

387
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:08.920
<v Speaker 4>too big for it. I've heard at least four or

388
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 4>five there had human stuff like that, like clothing on, like,

389
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.519
<v Speaker 4>but never pants sort of thing. Yeah.

390
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Of course, other apes do occasionally put on a shirt

391
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 3>or something if they you know, if they have access

392
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.480
<v Speaker 3>to that kind of thing. It's been documented before. But

393
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 3>the sunglasses thing, that's what got me.

394
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:24.440
<v Speaker 4>That's a little much.

395
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and an orange puffy come on. So I don't know.

396
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.960
<v Speaker 3>That are some pretty weird stories out there that. So

397
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.319
<v Speaker 3>there was a reported sighting by the way, a couple

398
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.759
<v Speaker 3>a couple of days ago in the Warm Springs Reservation.

399
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:34.720
<v Speaker 4>There was.

400
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I got wind of it on Monday morning, and actually

401
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 3>I think the person might be a listener. He's a

402
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:43.599
<v Speaker 3>his Sun are museum members, and I guess is they

403
00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:46.960
<v Speaker 3>were driving back towards town on Highway twenty six just

404
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 3>they're still on the reservations, but they're reservation, but there

405
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:54.119
<v Speaker 3>were still a few miles shy of mountain Hood National Forest,

406
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.119
<v Speaker 3>so they're head in that direction, kind of heading roughly

407
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:01.480
<v Speaker 3>west and uh, and the young man in the passenger seat,

408
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:03.960
<v Speaker 3>the dad told me that he noticed that his eyes

409
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.640
<v Speaker 3>were following something on the side of the road and

410
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:07.559
<v Speaker 3>it was like five five point thirty at night or

411
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 3>something like that, so getting a little dusky, and the

412
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.400
<v Speaker 3>guys he said that he saw, well, he saw, I guess,

413
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.759
<v Speaker 3>a rather large person ish thing. It looked like he

414
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.119
<v Speaker 3>was wearing a puffy jacket and his hood was up

415
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 3>and like all kind of all one color, like either

416
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.359
<v Speaker 3>black or dark gray pants, but walking on the side

417
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:28.000
<v Speaker 3>of the road in the ditch, and it could very

418
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.319
<v Speaker 3>well be a person. So they didn't really get a

419
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.640
<v Speaker 3>great look at it. But he apparently the young man

420
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.240
<v Speaker 3>who actually observed it actually turned around in his seat

421
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.599
<v Speaker 3>to make like like followed it, like, what the heck

422
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.640
<v Speaker 3>is that? That's really weird looking. We got word of it,

423
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.039
<v Speaker 3>and Nico and I went out there on Monday night

424
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.400
<v Speaker 3>to the location and looked around. We didn't see any

425
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:50.880
<v Speaker 3>footprints or anything like that. And where the thing was

426
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:53.759
<v Speaker 3>walking initially sounded kind of weird until I was there

427
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 3>and I go, wait a minute, this is exactly where

428
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.200
<v Speaker 3>I would be walking, because you know, the cars are

429
00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 3>going by real fast, and there was a bottle of

430
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:01.720
<v Speaker 3>rain going on at the time, and so maybe it

431
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:04.000
<v Speaker 3>was a person, maybe it was a sasquatch. We don't

432
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.759
<v Speaker 3>have enough information, but did my due diligence. Had to

433
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.160
<v Speaker 3>go out there and look, you know too. A couple

434
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 3>hours of my time and a bunch of gas money.

435
00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:10.200
<v Speaker 2>To get out there.

436
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 3>But it was worth it, because that's what bigfooting is

437
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:16.759
<v Speaker 3>a lot of wild goose chases or things that you

438
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 3>follow up on and just don't get to the bottom of.

439
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:21.119
<v Speaker 4>At least it's usually a beautiful drive.

440
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 3>Not this time. Man, it was dumping. Oh my god,

441
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 3>it was raining so hard.

442
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of dumping, the funniest one I've ever read, you know,

443
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't hear it from the claimant, but I read

444
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:38.400
<v Speaker 2>it on a website that collects sasquatch reports. And we've

445
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.839
<v Speaker 2>had lots of laughs about this over many campfire or

446
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:45.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the last time that someone asked me this

447
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:47.440
<v Speaker 2>question I told the story. We were all laughing so hard,

448
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.200
<v Speaker 2>we were crying. I was with my friends Micah and

449
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Jeff and Smokey from the podcast Sasquatch Tracks at cryptocon.

450
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 2>But there was a report from like the mid twentieth

451
00:21:55.799 --> 00:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>century in Oklahoma from this farm, and these two witnesses

452
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.960
<v Speaker 2>claim they had gone out they had peach trees on

453
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.799
<v Speaker 2>this farm, and one day they had gone out to

454
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.319
<v Speaker 2>that area, you know, the orchard or whatever, and that

455
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.359
<v Speaker 2>there was a sasquatch kind of laid back with his

456
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.359
<v Speaker 2>back against a peach tree, eating a peach with one

457
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:18.599
<v Speaker 2>hand and then the other hand doing the unspeakable. And

458
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.319
<v Speaker 2>next to it there was a dug hole in the

459
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>ground with a giant turd in it. And so when

460
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.880
<v Speaker 2>they encountered this sasquatch who was eating a peach and

461
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:32.000
<v Speaker 2>enjoying himself, he left up started yelling at them in

462
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:36.920
<v Speaker 2>the classic gibber it's like, you know, and also covering

463
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the turd in the hole with dirt with his foot simultaneously.

464
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.119
<v Speaker 6>That's plausible, the whole image of like, you know, he'd

465
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.799
<v Speaker 6>just taken a dump, found some fruit, like life's pretty good.

466
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:51.880
<v Speaker 6>These people show up and he's like immediately trying to

467
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 6>clean up the places. Just the whole thing is like

468
00:22:55.720 --> 00:23:00.960
<v Speaker 6>the most preposterous, hilarious thing, and so like, man, maybe

469
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.039
<v Speaker 6>we should just leave out buckets and peaches.

470
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.039
<v Speaker 4>It's not that it's totally believable.

471
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.039
<v Speaker 6>I just wonder what, you know, if they do have

472
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.000
<v Speaker 6>a language or a proto language, Like what what do

473
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.000
<v Speaker 6>you think he was saying, like, oh, sorry, like the

474
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:15.519
<v Speaker 6>place isn't usually this dirty, or.

475
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.720
<v Speaker 4>He said, so doesn't it one knock anymore?

476
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Yet? Exactly? I believe it that I mean, I just

477
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.400
<v Speaker 2>think it's funny that the priority was to cover up

478
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:29.880
<v Speaker 2>the turt It didn't just get up and run away.

479
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 6>It was like, well, I started kicking dirt over the

480
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:35.839
<v Speaker 6>turtle than me.

481
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:38.000
<v Speaker 2>If only it had had a pizza box.

482
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:40.400
<v Speaker 4>Let's keep it classy.

483
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Now that I've revealed the full spectrum of my immaturity,

484
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.079
<v Speaker 2>you put the next question in the chat here, all right.

485
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.799
<v Speaker 3>This one comes from Jeff Martin's Police departments use a

486
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:56.960
<v Speaker 3>technology called shot Spotter to pinpoint gunshots across an entire

487
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.880
<v Speaker 3>city using microphones and AI. This gives the near real

488
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 3>time location for an acoustic event so they can respond.

489
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Have you heard of anyone using this type of technology

490
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 3>to track real time Bigfoot activity? I believe if you

491
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:14.440
<v Speaker 3>could train the AI using known Bigfoot acoustic events, you

492
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:18.279
<v Speaker 3>could pinpoint activity. You could also tell it to ignore

493
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:19.880
<v Speaker 3>known animal noises.

494
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, there was a guy who he was a hoaxer,

495
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.279
<v Speaker 2>and he ran like a hoax on a number of

496
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:28.880
<v Speaker 2>people for several years. And I almost brought it up

497
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:30.960
<v Speaker 2>in the conversation with Steve Colls because I was the

498
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 2>one who figured out who the guy was, and Steve

499
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:36.680
<v Speaker 2>found some additional information and published a blog about it.

500
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.119
<v Speaker 2>But in his lies, I mean, he was basically just

501
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:43.160
<v Speaker 2>a yarn spinner. But a lot of the ideas that

502
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.039
<v Speaker 2>he he claimed that he was a multi millionaire and

503
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:49.079
<v Speaker 2>was the head of a massive research project that had

504
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.200
<v Speaker 2>gathered a lot of sasquatch information they were going to

505
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.160
<v Speaker 2>release it any day.

506
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:52.359
<v Speaker 3>Now.

507
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:54.319
<v Speaker 2>That was kind of the extent of his hoax, But

508
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:58.200
<v Speaker 2>the ideas that he floated were really good ideas where

509
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I thought, man, like, if I had, you know, endless resources,

510
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I would try some of these things. And now AI

511
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.279
<v Speaker 2>didn't exist back then, but one of the things they

512
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.400
<v Speaker 2>claimed is that he would use these sort of like

513
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.640
<v Speaker 2>ladder deer stands, not the kind that you affixed to

514
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 2>a tree, but the standalone like deer towers, and that

515
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.880
<v Speaker 2>they would mount those up and have these microphones that

516
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 2>would be pointing in like various directions and basically lay

517
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.480
<v Speaker 2>out a grid, and that you know, using software, if

518
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.440
<v Speaker 2>a sound happened within that grid, based on the proximity

519
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, the volume level, they could tell the proximity

520
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:32.920
<v Speaker 2>to any given microphone and like pinpoint it on a

521
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.279
<v Speaker 2>map in real time exactly where it happened. And I thought, man,

522
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:37.960
<v Speaker 2>if you had the resources that would absolutely work. Now,

523
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:39.359
<v Speaker 2>you'd need a lot of them. You need to cover

524
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.680
<v Speaker 2>a big area, So something like Jeff is describing here,

525
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I think that would be useful.

526
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.039
<v Speaker 4>They had that because Romo National Park had I'm going

527
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.119
<v Speaker 4>for a elk poach or something, bald Hills right up

528
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.839
<v Speaker 4>by us, and they got all kinds of they don't

529
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:58.039
<v Speaker 4>have going now, but they had multiple recorder like microphones

530
00:25:58.039 --> 00:25:59.839
<v Speaker 4>out there and they ad pinpoint where the shots are

531
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:01.480
<v Speaker 4>come from, so they could try to move in on

532
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:04.000
<v Speaker 4>the poachers like real time. I know they have like

533
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 4>all kinds of problems with it, and I'm sure they

534
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 4>got they must have gotten some squatch knocks and wood

535
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:12.119
<v Speaker 4>knocks and rock knock's or hand collapse, and sure they

536
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 4>got some of those two, but they weren't looking for squatch.

537
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.599
<v Speaker 4>But that's all the place they deploy it, Like where

538
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:20.119
<v Speaker 4>they have elk or moose or any kind of poaching,

539
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:25.079
<v Speaker 4>they can put those for service. Law enforcement can put

540
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 4>that out and triangulate where these guys are shooting.

541
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:30.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I don't know what the cost of

542
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:32.640
<v Speaker 2>something like that would be. I would imagine that would

543
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:35.880
<v Speaker 2>be pretty exorbitant for what Jeff's describe. I think it's

544
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.359
<v Speaker 2>a great idea. But if you could imagine an area

545
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:40.720
<v Speaker 2>like the size of the nest site or the size

546
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:44.240
<v Speaker 2>of something like the active portion of the valley that

547
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.519
<v Speaker 2>constitutes area X, like you would need a lot of microphones,

548
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:50.559
<v Speaker 2>depending on how sensitive they are, but you know, you'd

549
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 2>need a number of them, and they all have to

550
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:54.240
<v Speaker 2>be powered, and they don't have to feed to this

551
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:58.519
<v Speaker 2>AI and wherever that is housed and receiving the data

552
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:00.920
<v Speaker 2>or transmitting the data would have to be powered. And

553
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.480
<v Speaker 2>so you're talking about a lot of expense and maintenance.

554
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.359
<v Speaker 2>Let alone the manpower of deploying it, but the power

555
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:09.480
<v Speaker 2>of the expense and the maintenance. It's like, that's why

556
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:12.200
<v Speaker 2>no one's doing things like this, because ninety nine point

557
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:16.000
<v Speaker 2>nine ninety nine percent of sasquatchry is amateurs doing what

558
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:18.359
<v Speaker 2>they can in their free time with what little free

559
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:20.920
<v Speaker 2>income they have to spare on something like this.

560
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:24.279
<v Speaker 3>The mesh of that net that you would have to

561
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.319
<v Speaker 3>use it, it would be an insurmountable I think obstacle

562
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:32.680
<v Speaker 3>because you know, knocks, as loud as they might be

563
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:35.519
<v Speaker 3>at the source, don't really travel that far unless you

564
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:39.200
<v Speaker 3>have fantastic acoustics essentially, and most of the places in

565
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.279
<v Speaker 3>the woods are you know, you just don't have that

566
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:44.079
<v Speaker 3>because the trees act as sponges and really suck up

567
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.160
<v Speaker 3>the noises of the forest very quickly. I would be

568
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 3>very surprised to hear a knock at anything more than

569
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:54.480
<v Speaker 3>maybe four or five hundred yards. I guess it could

570
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:56.960
<v Speaker 3>be possible, but I know that I've personally been in

571
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.680
<v Speaker 3>the woods yelling for friends or even using emergency whistles.

572
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 3>I think I talked about in the podcast maybe a

573
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:04.319
<v Speaker 3>month or two ago, and I was within a few

574
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:06.200
<v Speaker 3>hundred yards and they had no idea I was making

575
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:10.480
<v Speaker 3>noise at all. So Knox, Yeah, I mean, just like

576
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:13.400
<v Speaker 3>you would have to have so many of these things,

577
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:15.240
<v Speaker 3>so many of these things, and how do you know

578
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:17.519
<v Speaker 3>bigfoots are in that one particular valley, that particular night.

579
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.279
<v Speaker 3>You just don't at this point, you know. But I

580
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:23.440
<v Speaker 3>mean it's a great idea. It would be fantastic, but

581
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:27.319
<v Speaker 3>I see some logistical problems.

582
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 2>So you know, if you're using it in a city

583
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.720
<v Speaker 2>like law enforcement is doing in Jeff's comment, then you

584
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:36.319
<v Speaker 2>have an existing infrastructure and you have access to an

585
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:39.279
<v Speaker 2>entire grid, and it would be a wildly different story

586
00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:42.920
<v Speaker 2>in a wilderness area, you know, just the power supply

587
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:45.720
<v Speaker 2>and whether or not these things are wired, because if

588
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.079
<v Speaker 2>they're wireless, then you have to have individual power for

589
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.240
<v Speaker 2>every single microphone. But if they're all wired, like there's

590
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:54.839
<v Speaker 2>a logistical issue, etc. Because I can imagine in a

591
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:57.920
<v Speaker 2>city you've got these things deployed and they're each connected

592
00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:59.839
<v Speaker 2>to a power source and a hub that's connected to

593
00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Wi Fi, and they're all feeding back to a server.

594
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:05.160
<v Speaker 2>But it's a different ballgame in the wilderness. But I

595
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.559
<v Speaker 2>love the idea. I think something like that could work

596
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:07.960
<v Speaker 2>for sure.

597
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:12.079
<v Speaker 3>We tried to do that with people before, positioning people

598
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.160
<v Speaker 3>in various places and putting a compass in their hand

599
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.880
<v Speaker 3>and say, if you hear a knock, take a compass

600
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:19.519
<v Speaker 3>bearing on it and you can triangulate. We just on

601
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:21.240
<v Speaker 3>a map if you know where everybody is. You know,

602
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:24.160
<v Speaker 3>we're doing that with those Garman Rhinos for a long time,

603
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:27.279
<v Speaker 3>but it didn't happen often enough that two people could

604
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.920
<v Speaker 3>actually hear the same knock. Actually, and you know, it

605
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:32.599
<v Speaker 3>might work in some places, like if you have a

606
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:35.920
<v Speaker 3>meadow situation or something like that, where a large vast

607
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:39.160
<v Speaker 3>area that there's not a lot of trees to absorb

608
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.720
<v Speaker 3>the sound on the way to your ears. But okay,

609
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 3>so you get a general location of where the sasquatch was.

610
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:47.480
<v Speaker 3>By the time you get there, is it's still going

611
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:49.640
<v Speaker 3>to be there? I mean maybe I guess, But can't

612
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:51.720
<v Speaker 3>you do that? I mean just think it out loud here?

613
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.920
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not saying this is a bad idea. I

614
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.319
<v Speaker 3>think it's a great idea with some serious logistical problems.

615
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.079
<v Speaker 3>But you can kind of do that with your own

616
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:01.960
<v Speaker 3>ears anyway. Oh, there's a knock over there, you can

617
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.119
<v Speaker 3>go over there now right. It can't be that far

618
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 3>away from you if you're hearing the knock, is what

619
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:07.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking. What are your thoughts on that?

620
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.519
<v Speaker 4>It totally depends on the terrain and topography, like how

621
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:13.720
<v Speaker 4>far travels are, Like we know, like you got the

622
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:18.559
<v Speaker 4>Sierra Nevadas, get those just huge rock faces canyons. It

623
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 4>can go for a couple of miles, and then you

624
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:23.559
<v Speaker 4>get like thick like Olympic Peninsula stuff, And so one

625
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:27.680
<v Speaker 4>two hundred yards away you can't hear anything like knocks yells.

626
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.119
<v Speaker 4>It's just all absorbed.

627
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 3>And even if you did hear a knock or something,

628
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:34.400
<v Speaker 3>what's stopping in you from going that direction now and

629
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:35.759
<v Speaker 3>pinpointing the activity that way.

630
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

631
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:38.119
<v Speaker 2>What we would do a lot of times on the

632
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 2>BFR expeditions that I would lead is if we were

633
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:43.319
<v Speaker 2>working like a particular river valley or a certain drainage,

634
00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:45.440
<v Speaker 2>if you could get people on the ridges up above it,

635
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.359
<v Speaker 2>on either side of it, and we would exchange calls

636
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:50.240
<v Speaker 2>back and forth. And if you heard of a howl

637
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:52.079
<v Speaker 2>or a knock or something like that from the valley

638
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.799
<v Speaker 2>down below, yeah, everyone should shoot an asthmith and then

639
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:57.640
<v Speaker 2>in the morning we'll line it up on the map

640
00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:59.720
<v Speaker 2>and like that's where we go start looking for tracks.

641
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Is like the sound came from somewhere near where these

642
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:07.720
<v Speaker 2>lines intersect. So like the method you describe.

643
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:10.359
<v Speaker 3>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bogo.

644
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:19.200
<v Speaker 3>We'll be right back after these messages. You know, Moneymaker

645
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:23.279
<v Speaker 3>is using something. He's not using technology as a listening

646
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:25.359
<v Speaker 3>device sort of thing, but I know on the expeditions

647
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:28.640
<v Speaker 3>that he goes on, he's gotten varying the drones, like

648
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:30.680
<v Speaker 3>thermal drones in the last six or eight months or

649
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:35.039
<v Speaker 3>something last year or so. So when they hear a knox,

650
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:37.680
<v Speaker 3>they deploy the drone in that direction to go see

651
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:40.119
<v Speaker 3>if they can go film it. That might be a

652
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:45.039
<v Speaker 3>useful application for this kind of technology. Should something like

653
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:49.279
<v Speaker 3>that get off the ground and overcome the deployment.

654
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Issues, Oh, that would be great.

655
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:52.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So Matt's kind of doing that now, I guess

656
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:55.480
<v Speaker 3>in a way, but he's not using listening technology. He's

657
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.319
<v Speaker 3>using drone technology in combination with human observers on the ground.

658
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:02.400
<v Speaker 4>The other thing with that when you're listening for Knox

659
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:04.680
<v Speaker 4>and Pals and that sort of thing, is that it's

660
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.240
<v Speaker 4>all subjective. Like I think it was about a quarter

661
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:09.079
<v Speaker 4>mile that way or a mile or two mile. You know,

662
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:12.079
<v Speaker 4>it's like people just giving like a gus, you know,

663
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.319
<v Speaker 4>even direction. You know, a lot of times you're sitting

664
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:17.480
<v Speaker 4>there with three people and get through, like, you know,

665
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:18.960
<v Speaker 4>I thought it came from the northwest, so I thought

666
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:20.960
<v Speaker 4>it came from the northeast. I thought it came from

667
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.880
<v Speaker 4>the west. You can get all, you know, different answers

668
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:25.960
<v Speaker 4>where they thought it came from, and so there's a

669
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:28.279
<v Speaker 4>little subjectivity to it too. Yeah.

670
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:30.160
<v Speaker 3>I guess that's where the computer would come in and

671
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 3>hopefully eliminate that. Yeah.

672
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that would definitely be helpful. Because I've I've been

673
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 2>standing in a circle with friends in the field. Before

674
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:38.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're all facing each other in like a

675
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:40.759
<v Speaker 2>circle or semicircle, talking and then a sound happens and

676
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:44.039
<v Speaker 2>there's like no agreement on which direction because everyone's ears

677
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.119
<v Speaker 2>are pointed in a different direction. You know what I mean?

678
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.440
<v Speaker 4>Totally that's from the Yeah, yeah.

679
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:50.960
<v Speaker 2>So there's the next question for you.

680
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:56.799
<v Speaker 4>Bobes from Frank Pavlika, your boy, Hey, clip Bubo, and Matt.

681
00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.079
<v Speaker 4>I enjoyed your answers to my question from last month

682
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:02.240
<v Speaker 4>about the best bred bigfoot shoes as the teenager. Back

683
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:04.640
<v Speaker 4>in the eighties, my scout troop and I went camping

684
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.000
<v Speaker 4>in Michigan. What did a few of us went out

685
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.640
<v Speaker 4>into the woods and our flashlights hit would looked like

686
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.839
<v Speaker 4>a big refrigerator box. We did for a closer only

687
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 4>to realize it was a cement altar that had weird

688
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:18.640
<v Speaker 4>symbols graved on it. We all froze, heard a noise

689
00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:20.720
<v Speaker 4>in the distance, and we all just ran as fast

690
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:22.799
<v Speaker 4>as we could get to get out of there. What

691
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:24.759
<v Speaker 4>are some of the most unusual and out of place

692
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:27.359
<v Speaker 4>things you have found in the woods that were either

693
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.160
<v Speaker 4>built by humans or abandoned who.

694
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.200
<v Speaker 3>It was a little unsettling at first, big footing in

695
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:36.960
<v Speaker 3>the in the in the northeast, running across abandoned and

696
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:41.160
<v Speaker 3>overgrown graveyards. That was a little spooky at first because

697
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 3>we just don't get that out here in the west

698
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.640
<v Speaker 3>really so much. But back of east, you know, you

699
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:49.359
<v Speaker 3>come across these flimsy they're rather thin, you know, tombstones

700
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.160
<v Speaker 3>and stuff, and they say, you know, like seventeen sixty

701
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.519
<v Speaker 3>four on it and things like like whoa, and it's

702
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.920
<v Speaker 3>like all overgrown and creepy and very blar witchy. But

703
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:02.839
<v Speaker 3>along those lines, there's a spot out in Mountain Hood

704
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:05.640
<v Speaker 3>National Forest. It's actually not very far from Esticada. The

705
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:07.519
<v Speaker 3>years and years and years ago, I was out there

706
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:11.440
<v Speaker 3>and we're doing calls into this one valley. It was

707
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:13.480
<v Speaker 3>like a little clearing, like a dead end sort of thing,

708
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:15.239
<v Speaker 3>like a turnaround place on the end of this road

709
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.480
<v Speaker 3>overlooking this valley. It looked good on a map. So

710
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:19.280
<v Speaker 3>we're trying some calls and there didn't get anything or

711
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:22.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, but at this location, like we're there kind

712
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.599
<v Speaker 3>of just hanging out listening and stuff. I was walking

713
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:27.519
<v Speaker 3>around looking and on the on the mountain side you know,

714
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:30.360
<v Speaker 3>like obviously this little plateau thing overblooks this valley, but

715
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:31.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm on a mountain. So if you go

716
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:35.719
<v Speaker 3>to the backside of the turnaround, there's a grave there,

717
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.800
<v Speaker 3>and and it's like, I'm not sure it's a human

718
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:41.840
<v Speaker 3>grave or a pet grave. I hope it's a pet grave.

719
00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:43.239
<v Speaker 3>I don't know it is, but it's so close to

720
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:47.199
<v Speaker 3>esticata could go either way. Like there's like a grave

721
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:49.880
<v Speaker 3>marker and a name, and I think there's a date

722
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.840
<v Speaker 3>and you know whatever this thing. I forget the name

723
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.239
<v Speaker 3>that was on it, but it was probably like eight

724
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:58.079
<v Speaker 3>or like six eight years old or something whatever it

725
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:00.360
<v Speaker 3>was that was buried there because they had the and

726
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:03.440
<v Speaker 3>die to thinking did somebody just bury their child out here?

727
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:06.639
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's kind of a very rural Claquemus County

728
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 3>thing to do, you know, in some ways. And whoever

729
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.000
<v Speaker 3>it was that made the grave put a layer of

730
00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:16.920
<v Speaker 3>cement over it, presumably to keep the animals from digging

731
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:18.719
<v Speaker 3>it up or something. I don't know, but a lot

732
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:23.440
<v Speaker 3>of that ground underneath the cement covering of the grave

733
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:28.079
<v Speaker 3>was like eroded through, but there's like marbles and stuff

734
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.599
<v Speaker 3>on it, and like little Chotchkey's that thinking, like, why

735
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:32.840
<v Speaker 3>would you put marbles on that like a dog's grave,

736
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Like it's like they're like a little girl buried here

737
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.320
<v Speaker 3>or something. Is that even legal? So that was one

738
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:40.519
<v Speaker 3>of the unusual and out of place things that I

739
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:42.679
<v Speaker 3>found in the woods, and needless say, I didn't even

740
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.440
<v Speaker 3>go to that area anymore, but yeah, that's creepy.

741
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I was driving around a really remote place in northeast

742
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Georgia one time with my dad and we found like

743
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:56.320
<v Speaker 2>the remains of basically like an old rock quarry. It

744
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:58.639
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like a big, massive quarry. It was just almost

745
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.880
<v Speaker 2>like an exposed vertical wall that you can tell they

746
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:04.239
<v Speaker 2>had quarried out. And I was like, oh, there's you know,

747
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:06.760
<v Speaker 2>there's activity around quarries and places, and I just wonder

748
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:09.719
<v Speaker 2>what's around here. And so we parked the car and

749
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I ended up like climbing up this super steep slope

750
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:16.159
<v Speaker 2>to get up above this rock wall of the quarry

751
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 2>and up top there and there's it's a ridge top

752
00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:21.840
<v Speaker 2>it just drops down the other side. It's all forceded

753
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:23.760
<v Speaker 2>down into a drainage and then on our side there's

754
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:26.599
<v Speaker 2>a single for service road up at the top. There

755
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:34.800
<v Speaker 2>was this massive pile of belongings that included like stethoscopes, microscopes,

756
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:38.760
<v Speaker 2>medical textbooks, a whole bunch of like medical equipment that

757
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:43.199
<v Speaker 2>was all associated with a medical school in Temple, Texas.

758
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:46.400
<v Speaker 2>And this was so out of the way, like I

759
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:48.559
<v Speaker 2>can't believe I stumbled on it and then just imagining,

760
00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:50.840
<v Speaker 2>like how did someone haul all this stuff up here?

761
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Like you haul up a big chest or like a

762
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:56.159
<v Speaker 2>pelican case or a bunch of bags and dump it

763
00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>here to go through it. But we were like, something

764
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:01.639
<v Speaker 2>very strange happened here, Like did somebody rob a place

765
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:03.199
<v Speaker 2>and this is where they dumped the stuff they didn't

766
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:05.559
<v Speaker 2>want to keep. Who knows, But that was one of

767
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.159
<v Speaker 2>the wilder things I've seen where it's like there's some

768
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:09.679
<v Speaker 2>something nefarious happened up there.

769
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:13.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I think the weirdest thing I found was he

770
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:16.280
<v Speaker 4>had a bunch of property on the edge of like

771
00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:19.559
<v Speaker 4>where the Redwoods transition, like oak Zone, and he had

772
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:22.119
<v Speaker 4>an old skid road I was. He said, like he

773
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:24.039
<v Speaker 4>had hundreds of acres, and he said I could go

774
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:25.880
<v Speaker 4>cruise around his next you never had like eight or

775
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:28.840
<v Speaker 4>seven thousand acres or some cattle stuff, And so he

776
00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:30.559
<v Speaker 4>said there's no problem. You can walk for wherever you

777
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:32.719
<v Speaker 4>want down that way. I was walking down. I was

778
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:35.239
<v Speaker 4>in the Redwood Park still, and I felt like that's

779
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:38.559
<v Speaker 4>like satanic like coming to this old skidro like upside

780
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:41.840
<v Speaker 4>down crosses painted on trees. There was a bunch of

781
00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:45.920
<v Speaker 4>dolls that had their exes over their eyes and they

782
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:48.960
<v Speaker 4>were hanging from noises like around. And there's like an

783
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:51.239
<v Speaker 4>altar with like red look like it's supposed to be

784
00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:53.519
<v Speaker 4>like blood, and like red paints splashed on it like

785
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:58.440
<v Speaker 4>sacrifices and all this weird stuff like bones, like animal bones.

786
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:01.800
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, dude, something with that. It's like, oh,

787
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:03.920
<v Speaker 4>I know, some guys are cutting through there trying to

788
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:05.760
<v Speaker 4>rip off my wei because he had he was growing

789
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.519
<v Speaker 4>weed out there and so he he staged like a

790
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:13.480
<v Speaker 4>satanic cult looking to scare off the guys coming in.

791
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Nice.

792
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:15.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

793
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.519
<v Speaker 3>I found a capsized boat up in the mountains once weird.

794
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:23.360
<v Speaker 3>That was kind of weird. It was a pretty small boat.

795
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:25.960
<v Speaker 3>It's probably about fifteen feet long or something, and it

796
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:28.920
<v Speaker 3>was made out of a fiberglass, so it wasn't aluminum

797
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:31.079
<v Speaker 3>boat or anything like that. I'm assuming somebody just trailered it.

798
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:32.800
<v Speaker 3>There or something and dumped it or something. But it

799
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:35.119
<v Speaker 3>was pretty far out, man, it was pretty far out.

800
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:38.079
<v Speaker 3>This is like kind of near the border of Oregon

801
00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:41.920
<v Speaker 3>in California. But yeah, yeah, kind of a weird place

802
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:44.440
<v Speaker 3>to find a boat. I figured out. Talk about high.

803
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.400
<v Speaker 4>Tide, yogurt dryers, flood.

804
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:50.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, let me grab the next one. We'll do

805
00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:53.519
<v Speaker 2>a couple more here. This one would be a fun

806
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:59.679
<v Speaker 2>thought experiment, Okay. Jeff Davies asks, greetings from Whales. Thanks

807
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.119
<v Speaker 2>for the amazing show. I have learned so much about

808
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:04.639
<v Speaker 2>the subject of bigfoot from listening to you guys, and

809
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.719
<v Speaker 2>really enjoy your take on things. I'm in the same

810
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:09.920
<v Speaker 2>camp as you when it comes to these creatures in

811
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:12.480
<v Speaker 2>that they are flesh and blood and a relic hominid

812
00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:16.639
<v Speaker 2>of some kind. Since some people see them as supernatural entities,

813
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:20.679
<v Speaker 2>my question to you is what tests or procedures would

814
00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:24.880
<v Speaker 2>be needed to prove its existence as supernatural, if at

815
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:28.960
<v Speaker 2>all that could be proved. Well, I think you'd have

816
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:31.440
<v Speaker 2>to probably capture one and then watch it evade you,

817
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:35.239
<v Speaker 2>like through the bars of the of the of the cage,

818
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:37.559
<v Speaker 2>or I don't know. I think you'd have to have

819
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:41.840
<v Speaker 2>one solidly there and it can somehow do all the

820
00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:46.280
<v Speaker 2>things that people claim they can do. You know, That's

821
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:48.800
<v Speaker 2>what probably it would take for me at least, you know,

822
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:51.159
<v Speaker 2>like if you had one right in front of you

823
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:53.719
<v Speaker 2>and see, I don't know, I mean, because all those

824
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:55.559
<v Speaker 2>tests are subjective to it. I don't know.

825
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:57.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. How do you test that? How do

826
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.920
<v Speaker 3>you test that they're superhuman magic harry people?

827
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:06.039
<v Speaker 4>You know, Yeah, you have to catch one for sure

828
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:08.719
<v Speaker 4>of so you never know.

829
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:11.920
<v Speaker 2>But by the very nature, if it is like metaphysical,

830
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:14.679
<v Speaker 2>then it can't be trapped by any physical means or

831
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:17.519
<v Speaker 2>tested by physical means in the way that you would

832
00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:22.639
<v Speaker 2>test or measure or detect any natural phenomena. So it

833
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:25.800
<v Speaker 2>would be like a self defeating thing, and any attempts

834
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.719
<v Speaker 2>that fail would only confirm the suspicions of those who

835
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:32.639
<v Speaker 2>believe that they are metaphysical. They'd go, yeah, well, it

836
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:35.119
<v Speaker 2>never would have caught them, because you can't catch them

837
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:39.559
<v Speaker 2>because they're metaphysical, And so even the failures would just

838
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:43.039
<v Speaker 2>be seen as confirmation. And so I don't necessarily think

839
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:47.159
<v Speaker 2>you could design a test to validate a lot of

840
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:51.039
<v Speaker 2>the claims that people make, or validate the beliefs that

841
00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:55.159
<v Speaker 2>people hold associated with the metaphysical or supernatural, even as

842
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:57.800
<v Speaker 2>it pertains to sasquatch let alone. I mean, first, you'd

843
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:01.440
<v Speaker 2>have to definitively validate or verify the existence of the

844
00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:05.599
<v Speaker 2>supernatural realm, so to speak of all phenomena that fall

845
00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:08.920
<v Speaker 2>into that versus. We know mammals exist, and we know

846
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:13.880
<v Speaker 2>apes exist, and this proposition only requires either that one

847
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.679
<v Speaker 2>of the fossil apes we know about survived, or that

848
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:18.840
<v Speaker 2>there's just one more ape that we didn't know about

849
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:23.519
<v Speaker 2>that survived, and that this ape got into North America somehow.

850
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Those are the only two things you really need. Everything

851
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:28.719
<v Speaker 2>else you don't have to invent any sort of like

852
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:31.840
<v Speaker 2>new science or new tests or new procedures. If the

853
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:36.280
<v Speaker 2>relictomenoid hypothesis is correct, you know, there's nothing new that

854
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:39.320
<v Speaker 2>needs to be found. It's just we've reconfirmed the existence

855
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:41.119
<v Speaker 2>of an ape we already knew about, or a lineage

856
00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:43.360
<v Speaker 2>we already knew about, and we've just discovered that they're

857
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:46.599
<v Speaker 2>on one additional continent. It's that simple, versus the other

858
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:49.800
<v Speaker 2>side of the coin is much much more complex. See.

859
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:52.719
<v Speaker 3>I think the problem is that the paranormal community, as

860
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:56.760
<v Speaker 3>lovely as some of those people are are using, are

861
00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:02.440
<v Speaker 3>conducting the experiment now and as evidence to support their

862
00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:06.840
<v Speaker 3>claim sasquatches are still an unknown, you know, like, oh, well,

863
00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:09.280
<v Speaker 3>we would have known about them, we would have gotten

864
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:11.840
<v Speaker 3>one by now. The only way they could have existed

865
00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:15.480
<v Speaker 3>this long without us having better proof or evidence of

866
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:18.639
<v Speaker 3>them or better evidence is if they were paranormal. So

867
00:42:18.679 --> 00:42:24.079
<v Speaker 3>I think that the ongoing experiment that they're running in

868
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:26.920
<v Speaker 3>their mind is what supports these claims.

869
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Very much so. And the truth is that people have

870
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:34.840
<v Speaker 2>failed to properly test the relictomenoid hypothesis. And I think

871
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:36.360
<v Speaker 2>that's a hard pill for a lot of people. And

872
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:38.519
<v Speaker 2>I see it in myself too, So I'm not pointing

873
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:41.400
<v Speaker 2>fingers anywhere but at myself. But you know, to properly

874
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:44.920
<v Speaker 2>test that hypothesis takes a lot of time and effort

875
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.559
<v Speaker 2>and resources, frankly, And so like a good analogy is

876
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:51.679
<v Speaker 2>like maybe the way that we conduct ourselves in the

877
00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:56.880
<v Speaker 2>field is in itself counter productive to eliciting an approach

878
00:42:56.920 --> 00:43:00.320
<v Speaker 2>that's documentable. And so one of the analogies I use

879
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:02.800
<v Speaker 2>with people's like if you were in law enforcement and

880
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:05.639
<v Speaker 2>you had a frequent caller every night saying there's a

881
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.719
<v Speaker 2>prowler coming to my house every night. He tries to

882
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:11.000
<v Speaker 2>get in, he jiggles the door handles, he peaks in

883
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:13.559
<v Speaker 2>the windows, and then you say, oh, well, let's go

884
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:15.960
<v Speaker 2>humor this person. And you go sit in there driveway

885
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:18.920
<v Speaker 2>with the blue lights on, wait all night, and no

886
00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:22.039
<v Speaker 2>such prowler shows up. You go, Ah, that person's lying.

887
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.119
<v Speaker 2>There's no such thing. There was never a prowler to

888
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:26.000
<v Speaker 2>begin with. And it's like, well, no, you didn't actually,

889
00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:29.119
<v Speaker 2>you didn't actually run the experiment correctly. You didn't test

890
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:32.559
<v Speaker 2>the hypothesis correctly. Because if there is someone with nefarious

891
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:35.480
<v Speaker 2>intentions coming in the guise of darkness, trying to take

892
00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:37.840
<v Speaker 2>advantage of someone, they're probably not going to do that

893
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:39.840
<v Speaker 2>when there's a police cruiser with the blue lights on

894
00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:42.039
<v Speaker 2>sitting in front of the house. And so I think

895
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:45.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the things that researchers do trying to

896
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:50.000
<v Speaker 2>observe or encounter a sasquatch, it actually ends up having

897
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:53.519
<v Speaker 2>the opposite effect. Even if there are sasquatches in eyeshot

898
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:55.639
<v Speaker 2>or earshot, which ninety nine percent of the time there's

899
00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:59.440
<v Speaker 2>probably no sasquatches within eyeshot or earshot. And so I

900
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:01.679
<v Speaker 2>don't think we can could say as a field research

901
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:07.320
<v Speaker 2>community that we've properly tested the hypothesis as such, although

902
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:10.920
<v Speaker 2>there are individuals making progress like yourself, casting and documenting

903
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:15.719
<v Speaker 2>tracks and other impressions, trying to collect physical evidence, EDNA

904
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:19.440
<v Speaker 2>associated evidence, substrate, et cetera. But for the most part,

905
00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:23.559
<v Speaker 2>by and large, it's not that we've run the experiment

906
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:27.599
<v Speaker 2>correctly for seventy years and failed because they're supernatural. It's like, no,

907
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.840
<v Speaker 2>we really haven't run the experiment correctly yet. We haven't

908
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:33.480
<v Speaker 2>properly tested it yet. We're all trying to. We have

909
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:36.000
<v Speaker 2>little bits and pieces, but you know, I don't think

910
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:38.800
<v Speaker 2>it would be fair to say that, like the Sasquatch

911
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:41.559
<v Speaker 2>as a species has seen, the best of human science

912
00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:43.559
<v Speaker 2>is thrown at it. Not by long.

913
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.719
<v Speaker 4>Shots, No, absolutely not.

914
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:48.559
<v Speaker 3>It reminds me of a story I heard out of

915
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:50.639
<v Speaker 3>Yosemite Valley, and I don't know if it's true, but

916
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:52.679
<v Speaker 3>I've heard this maybe it is. It seems true to

917
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:55.239
<v Speaker 3>me that they had a problem Bear kind of going

918
00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:57.360
<v Speaker 3>through and raiding the campsites in Yosemite Valley. You know

919
00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:00.400
<v Speaker 3>there's tours Servey, we're in Thesemity Valley right album, Bear

920
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:02.039
<v Speaker 3>would kind of come by at a certain time, so

921
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:04.159
<v Speaker 3>the rangers showed up, and of course the bear didn't come,

922
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:08.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, And then basically what they had to do

923
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:09.679
<v Speaker 3>is they had to modify their own behavior to make

924
00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:13.639
<v Speaker 3>the bear come. They essentially had food out and then

925
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:18.159
<v Speaker 3>dressed as tourists and played frisbee and did tourists stuff,

926
00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:20.599
<v Speaker 3>and then the bear came, you know, the same sort

927
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.480
<v Speaker 3>of thing like sitting in your driveway with the blue

928
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:24.840
<v Speaker 3>lights going, you know, the problem is not going to show. Well,

929
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:28.159
<v Speaker 3>the bears didn't either, you know. And people don't give

930
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:30.119
<v Speaker 3>bears enough credit for being as smart as they are,

931
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:34.440
<v Speaker 3>but they're very, very intelligent animals, you know, and especially

932
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:37.880
<v Speaker 3>yosemite bearers, they're like a different breed altogether, so to speak.

933
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:39.639
<v Speaker 3>Maybe not literally, but you know what I mean. They're

934
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:41.559
<v Speaker 3>really good at what they do. But the bears caught

935
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:44.679
<v Speaker 3>on pretty quick, and certainly sasquatches would be expected to

936
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:47.360
<v Speaker 3>catch on just as quickly, I think with any sort

937
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:50.239
<v Speaker 3>of behaviors with humans, you know, showing up to a

938
00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:52.559
<v Speaker 3>location where a sighting was or a long term witnesses

939
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.000
<v Speaker 3>house or any of that stuff, which I think again

940
00:45:55.119 --> 00:46:00.519
<v Speaker 3>is brings me back to advocating footprints track king them

941
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:04.920
<v Speaker 3>is to my knowledge, pretty much the only way, or

942
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:07.159
<v Speaker 3>certainly the easiest or best way, but it might be

943
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:10.639
<v Speaker 3>the only way to really observe sasquatches in their natural

944
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:13.800
<v Speaker 3>habitat without them knowing you're doing it, because they've already

945
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:15.880
<v Speaker 3>been there. They're not probably not there anymore, but you

946
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:18.360
<v Speaker 3>can see what they did and where they went and

947
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:23.199
<v Speaker 3>maybe even why. You know, stay tuned for more Bigfoot

948
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:25.880
<v Speaker 3>and Beyond with Cliff and Bogo will be right back

949
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:26.840
<v Speaker 3>after these messages.

950
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Again, I think you made a great point in that

951
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:38.280
<v Speaker 2>people assume, you know, they have this erroneous assumption that

952
00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:42.400
<v Speaker 2>researchers have doggedly been searching for many years to no

953
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:46.800
<v Speaker 2>avail er go, if sasquatches do exist, it must be

954
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:50.239
<v Speaker 2>in some supernatural or metaphysical form. And so I would

955
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:52.719
<v Speaker 2>ask you, like, at this given moment, or at any

956
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:57.159
<v Speaker 2>given moment, how many dogged, competent field researchers do you

957
00:46:57.239 --> 00:46:59.400
<v Speaker 2>think have boots on the ground at any moment in

958
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:04.920
<v Speaker 2>North America actively pursuing the sasquatch via scientifically sound observational

959
00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:06.800
<v Speaker 2>field study methods or techniques.

960
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.039
<v Speaker 4>With the proper equipment, we'd have like a really good,

961
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:14.800
<v Speaker 4>high quality therm and good like audio recording, multiple audio recorders.

962
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:16.119
<v Speaker 2>No matter what they have, Like how many do you

963
00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:19.400
<v Speaker 2>think at any given moment, how many people specifically do

964
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:20.199
<v Speaker 2>you think you're doing that?

965
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Close to zero?

966
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So what I had said in the book is

967
00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:27.320
<v Speaker 2>like I said, there's probably less than two dozen such

968
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:30.280
<v Speaker 2>people at any given time in all of North America.

969
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:33.800
<v Speaker 2>And so I had pulled some numbers. There's roughly six

970
00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:36.239
<v Speaker 2>hundred and seventy seven million, four hundred and sixty four

971
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:39.760
<v Speaker 2>thousand hectares a forested land in North America, or roughly

972
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:42.320
<v Speaker 2>two million, six hundred and fifteen thousand, seven hundred and

973
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.360
<v Speaker 2>three square miles. And you know what percentage of that

974
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:49.199
<v Speaker 2>land you could call like viable Sasquatch habitat is debatable.

975
00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:51.719
<v Speaker 2>But to make the argument, I said, Okay, let's let's

976
00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:54.440
<v Speaker 2>make a drastic reduction and just say one million square

977
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:58.239
<v Speaker 2>miles of viable Sasquatch habitat in North America. And so

978
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:01.440
<v Speaker 2>let's be generous to the argument, and let's up that

979
00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:06.480
<v Speaker 2>to say that there's fifty competent field investigators actively pursuing

980
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:09.360
<v Speaker 2>the Sasquatch on any given day in North America. And

981
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:10.920
<v Speaker 2>then you have to think like, well, what percentage of

982
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:14.079
<v Speaker 2>the ground would we assume as being surveyed during daylight hours,

983
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:16.519
<v Speaker 2>because you know you're not going to find bones or

984
00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:19.800
<v Speaker 2>collect physical evidence as easily at night, and so we

985
00:48:20.199 --> 00:48:23.119
<v Speaker 2>restrict that during the day. To be even more generous,

986
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:25.639
<v Speaker 2>you could say that the average field investigator is surveying

987
00:48:26.119 --> 00:48:29.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe five square miles a day, and that's a very

988
00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:33.239
<v Speaker 2>liberal estimate, especially in like a densely forced environment. And

989
00:48:33.320 --> 00:48:37.119
<v Speaker 2>so fifty field investigators covering five square miles a day

990
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:40.440
<v Speaker 2>equals two hundred and fifty square miles per day searching

991
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:43.360
<v Speaker 2>for any sign of sasquatches, and that amounts to zero

992
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:47.639
<v Speaker 2>point zero two five of viable habitat. It's a dreadfully

993
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:50.039
<v Speaker 2>small percentage. And we know there's not fifty, and we

994
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:52.039
<v Speaker 2>know there's a lot more than a million square miles

995
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:55.480
<v Speaker 2>of viable habitat. And so again generally, speaking from a

996
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:59.119
<v Speaker 2>big overview, I would say, like the faulty assumption that like, well,

997
00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:02.440
<v Speaker 2>researchers have tried their very best and haven't come up

998
00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:05.360
<v Speaker 2>with anything like no, because we haven't thrown very much

999
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:07.679
<v Speaker 2>at these things over the last seventy years.

1000
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:11.760
<v Speaker 3>No, And I think fifty is ridiculously high. And you know,

1001
00:49:11.880 --> 00:49:14.239
<v Speaker 3>even like the square mile, as you mentioned, is I

1002
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:17.719
<v Speaker 3>think that you'd be lucky to cover a mile, like

1003
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:21.239
<v Speaker 3>one square mile. One square mile is impossibly large when

1004
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:22.039
<v Speaker 3>you come down to it.

1005
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:24.239
<v Speaker 2>You know, That's why I use those numbers is to

1006
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:26.440
<v Speaker 2>give the skeptics, like, let's say there is only a

1007
00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:28.599
<v Speaker 2>million square miles, and let's say there is as many

1008
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:32.480
<v Speaker 2>as fifty even then it's zero point zero two five percent.

1009
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:35.800
<v Speaker 2>And let's say again those fifty investigators can cover five

1010
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.280
<v Speaker 2>square bars. But the reality is there's a lot more

1011
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:40.840
<v Speaker 2>than a million square miles. There's a lot fewer than fifty.

1012
00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:44.199
<v Speaker 2>They're covering a lot less. And so that number, the

1013
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:47.880
<v Speaker 2>percentage of viable habitat being actively surveyed for signs of

1014
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the Sasquatch at any given time, is so much smaller

1015
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:55.039
<v Speaker 2>than zero points zero two five percent. You know, at

1016
00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:57.239
<v Speaker 2>there are not people out every day, and so it's

1017
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.320
<v Speaker 2>like the assumption that oh, lots of peace people are

1018
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:02.960
<v Speaker 2>out there looking. It's just way way off base.

1019
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:06.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, that cliff where we went in Ohio, there's that

1020
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:08.599
<v Speaker 4>place in Ohio with all the activity we went to

1021
00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:10.360
<v Speaker 4>a couple I mean there several times even there a

1022
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:12.960
<v Speaker 4>couple of times. It was behind the house for the

1023
00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:15.679
<v Speaker 4>where all the action was. There was a square mile

1024
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:18.119
<v Speaker 4>of woods connected by a green belt to like smaller

1025
00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:22.159
<v Speaker 4>tracks like miles away. Like that was the biggest section

1026
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:25.000
<v Speaker 4>of woods within like a five or eight mile radio

1027
00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:27.559
<v Speaker 4>something like that. And we had, you know, four or

1028
00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:30.840
<v Speaker 4>five people poking on there. We didn't cover a fraction

1029
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:32.880
<v Speaker 4>of it, you know, in like two days. That was

1030
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:35.320
<v Speaker 4>just one square mile mile by a mile, and it

1031
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:38.840
<v Speaker 4>was relatively flat, not like the Civic Northwest or the Rockies.

1032
00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:41.320
<v Speaker 4>In a mile square mile you could have a couple

1033
00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:44.400
<v Speaker 4>of thousand feet of vertical game, you know. So it

1034
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:46.800
<v Speaker 4>was it was relatively relatively flat. I mean it had

1035
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:49.679
<v Speaker 4>hills I got to like seventy foot elevation difference or something,

1036
00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:53.119
<v Speaker 4>but it was and that was like we couldn't even

1037
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:55.719
<v Speaker 4>cover that. And with like five people.

1038
00:50:56.280 --> 00:50:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine how many people it would take? Like

1039
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:02.719
<v Speaker 2>let's say that Patty and her descendants lived and died,

1040
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:05.559
<v Speaker 2>spent their whole lives in the Bluff Creek drainage, as

1041
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:08.480
<v Speaker 2>gnarly as that drainage is, how many people do you

1042
00:51:08.559 --> 00:51:11.920
<v Speaker 2>think it would take and how long to cover every

1043
00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:14.960
<v Speaker 2>square inch of just the Bluff Creek drainage looking for

1044
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:22.079
<v Speaker 2>bones or remains. Oh god, it takes like multiple lifetimes. Yeah, dozens, hundreds,

1045
00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:24.719
<v Speaker 2>many hundreds of people, maybe thousands. I mean that's a

1046
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:27.199
<v Speaker 2>big area, and that's one creek drainage.

1047
00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:29.800
<v Speaker 4>That's a simil're sitting, that's a similar sitting on top,

1048
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:32.039
<v Speaker 4>like you know, just laying there free to be found,

1049
00:51:32.079 --> 00:51:34.800
<v Speaker 4>which would be the case. Have you covered up or

1050
00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:36.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, it doesn't be like kind of digging around

1051
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:38.960
<v Speaker 4>or poking around like moving stuff.

1052
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:41.119
<v Speaker 2>And oh exactly. Well, it's also assuming that they all

1053
00:51:41.159 --> 00:51:43.320
<v Speaker 2>live and die they never leave that drainage, which is

1054
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:46.320
<v Speaker 2>not you know, the case. And how often does one

1055
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:51.480
<v Speaker 2>die in that county you know, once every few years maybe,

1056
00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:55.360
<v Speaker 2>or let's say in the Bluff Creek drainage and the

1057
00:51:55.639 --> 00:51:58.800
<v Speaker 2>associated drainages that are all tributaries of the Klamath in

1058
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:00.960
<v Speaker 2>that general area, how often there's one die in that

1059
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:04.239
<v Speaker 2>drainage every five years, every ten years. I mean, this

1060
00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:07.119
<v Speaker 2>experiment has not been run. When people go, well, why

1061
00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:09.280
<v Speaker 2>haven't they found bones, and the answer, it's like, no

1062
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:12.119
<v Speaker 2>one's ever looked. Most people are trying to have sightings

1063
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:15.360
<v Speaker 2>or encounters. That's about it. And then beyond that, like

1064
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:17.679
<v Speaker 2>of that subset, most of those people are doing at

1065
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:20.480
<v Speaker 2>night where they can't even see or document something, and

1066
00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:23.239
<v Speaker 2>so no, we have not run this experiment. So if

1067
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the people think, well sasquatches are real as an assumption

1068
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:29.639
<v Speaker 2>and because people have looked for it and haven't found one,

1069
00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:33.280
<v Speaker 2>they must be supernatural. Like that's a very flimsy limb

1070
00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:34.000
<v Speaker 2>to stand out on.

1071
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I've spoken to a couple of the folks who have

1072
00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:39.039
<v Speaker 3>turned paranormal over time, and I think it's a matter

1073
00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:42.239
<v Speaker 3>of them thinking that, well, I would have figured this

1074
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:44.239
<v Speaker 3>out by now, I would have done. So I think

1075
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:47.559
<v Speaker 3>it's looking at themselves and saying, how did an animal

1076
00:52:48.039 --> 00:52:50.199
<v Speaker 3>And they say animal, as if it's a derogatory thing,

1077
00:52:50.679 --> 00:52:54.000
<v Speaker 3>How would an animal outwhit me? You know, well, because

1078
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:56.480
<v Speaker 3>they're way better at everything than you are in the woods,

1079
00:52:56.519 --> 00:52:56.719
<v Speaker 3>you know.

1080
00:52:56.920 --> 00:53:00.239
<v Speaker 4>I like that's a fair because they, I mean, will

1081
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:02.960
<v Speaker 4>experience these anomalies. Just because you have it doesn't mean

1082
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:05.159
<v Speaker 4>they did. And that's why. So those people get to

1083
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:08.440
<v Speaker 4>that point because of things they've personally experienced.

1084
00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, in some cases that's true, but not

1085
00:53:11.559 --> 00:53:13.639
<v Speaker 3>at all. They say, well, they must be that, because

1086
00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:16.920
<v Speaker 3>how would they possibly evade humans. Well, humans are terrible

1087
00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:19.039
<v Speaker 3>in the woods, and like Matt says, really no one's

1088
00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:20.960
<v Speaker 3>out there doing it. And we've all been on expeditions

1089
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:24.199
<v Speaker 3>quote unquote, and then and those expeditions very often come

1090
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:27.440
<v Speaker 3>down to sitting around a fire, hanging out and every

1091
00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:29.199
<v Speaker 3>once in a while going for the walk, you know,

1092
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:31.800
<v Speaker 3>not exactly, not exactly a blanketing activity.

1093
00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's why I try to say, you know, in

1094
00:53:33.800 --> 00:53:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the book and all the interviews that I do about this,

1095
00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I'm talking about my failures, like we in

1096
00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:42.519
<v Speaker 2>general have failed to produce proof. But that's on me

1097
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:45.519
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not responsible for anyone else. And like, I

1098
00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:49.000
<v Speaker 2>think that's a cause for optimism, because means I can

1099
00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:52.679
<v Speaker 2>work more diligently at trying to better test the hypothesis

1100
00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and up my game in every way that I'm capable of,

1101
00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:00.239
<v Speaker 2>and that's all cause for optimism. I remember some one

1102
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:03.159
<v Speaker 2>had said, Oh, I felt like you're that passage in

1103
00:54:03.199 --> 00:54:05.320
<v Speaker 2>your book where you're talking about like you know, you

1104
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:09.079
<v Speaker 2>hadn't you'd yet to prove this. It was very melancholic,

1105
00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:11.679
<v Speaker 2>and I thought, like, I don't see this melancholic. I

1106
00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:14.440
<v Speaker 2>see it as optimistic because it's you know how there's

1107
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:17.360
<v Speaker 2>people that think that, you know, everything's conspiring against them,

1108
00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the universe, the cosmos, fate or whatever. It's like, well,

1109
00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:23.960
<v Speaker 2>you should maybe think, like, well, to what degree can

1110
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:26.760
<v Speaker 2>I make things better? And because you have two options,

1111
00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:29.800
<v Speaker 2>like either there's something wrong with the entire universe or

1112
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:32.159
<v Speaker 2>there's something wrong with what you're doing, and you better

1113
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:34.199
<v Speaker 2>hope that it's what you're doing, because you could actually

1114
00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:37.039
<v Speaker 2>do something about that. And so I think the same

1115
00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:40.000
<v Speaker 2>thing as at play, where people think, well, because I've

1116
00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:43.719
<v Speaker 2>failed to produce proof, they must be unprovable, Like, no,

1117
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:45.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe we could just try a little harder.

1118
00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, you think about the consistency of the effort as well,

1119
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:52.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, because I'm a very very lucky person. That's

1120
00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:55.679
<v Speaker 3>somehow another Bigfoot has become my full time occupation, although

1121
00:54:55.679 --> 00:54:57.320
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of different aspects of that. I'm not

1122
00:54:57.360 --> 00:55:00.480
<v Speaker 3>out in the woods every single night, and who can

1123
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:03.599
<v Speaker 3>do that, you know, Even though Bigfoot is my literal

1124
00:55:03.639 --> 00:55:06.920
<v Speaker 3>full time occupation, I'm I'm out one the three days

1125
00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:09.639
<v Speaker 3>a week at the most, you know, because life happens,

1126
00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:11.639
<v Speaker 3>and there's other things to do, and you know, there's

1127
00:55:11.679 --> 00:55:13.199
<v Speaker 3>other things to take care of. I got to earn

1128
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:14.760
<v Speaker 3>a living, and I got to manage the museum, I

1129
00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:16.920
<v Speaker 3>got to take care of podcasts, I got to manage

1130
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:19.079
<v Speaker 3>like speaking engagements. I have to do this. I have

1131
00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:21.599
<v Speaker 3>to make footage, you know, for our member. There's a

1132
00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:24.840
<v Speaker 3>million things that pulls me every which way. And I

1133
00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:27.760
<v Speaker 3>do bigfoot for a living full time, and I can

1134
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:29.159
<v Speaker 3>barely get to the woods, it feels.

1135
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:31.519
<v Speaker 2>I think so much of what people do in the

1136
00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:36.440
<v Speaker 2>field too, there's no legacy of successful sasquatch researchers to

1137
00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:38.559
<v Speaker 2>learn from. You know. It's not like if you wanted

1138
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:41.599
<v Speaker 2>to become a bear hunter or a great steelhead fisherman,

1139
00:55:41.679 --> 00:55:43.800
<v Speaker 2>where you can learn all of the best techniques from

1140
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:46.280
<v Speaker 2>all the best practitioners. Like we're all learning, like no

1141
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:49.760
<v Speaker 2>one knows exactly how to you know, provoke an encounter

1142
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:51.719
<v Speaker 2>and document it, you know, if you're trying to document

1143
00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:55.320
<v Speaker 2>a living sasquatch versus their sign or trace evidence or

1144
00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:58.960
<v Speaker 2>something like that. So this applies to all of us.

1145
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:00.960
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I think a lot of us get

1146
00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:04.039
<v Speaker 2>involved in doing things that aren't necessarily productive. I heard

1147
00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:06.199
<v Speaker 2>a great quote today and I was like, oh, this

1148
00:56:06.320 --> 00:56:09.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of reminds me of a lot of Sasquatchery and

1149
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:11.960
<v Speaker 2>myself included. I'm not pointing fingers. I've done a lot

1150
00:56:11.960 --> 00:56:14.559
<v Speaker 2>of things that were probably not you know, the best

1151
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:16.559
<v Speaker 2>use of time and resources. But the quote was like,

1152
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:21.079
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing sadder than watching someone expertly and efficiently do

1153
00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:24.039
<v Speaker 2>something that never should have been tried in the first place.

1154
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:26.800
<v Speaker 2>It's like, doesn't matter how good your skill set is

1155
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:30.360
<v Speaker 2>if it's just if it's not applicable. And you know,

1156
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:33.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm definitely guilty. That's again I'm not castigating when I'm

1157
00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:36.360
<v Speaker 2>not casting blame. But yeah, I mean, we're all trying

1158
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:38.960
<v Speaker 2>to figure out how to properly run the experiment, and

1159
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:44.360
<v Speaker 2>so we'll say they're supernatural once that's been really tried

1160
00:56:44.760 --> 00:56:48.960
<v Speaker 2>and has failed, but yet some phenomena persists. But until then,

1161
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I think we just keep doing what we're doing.

1162
00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Well. I think you can't say that their failure. It's

1163
00:56:54.039 --> 00:56:56.840
<v Speaker 4>just that we don't have the resources. I mean, if

1164
00:56:56.840 --> 00:57:00.320
<v Speaker 4>we have like these huge budgets, like the multimately dark

1165
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.239
<v Speaker 4>grants are going to come into the field, the Sasquat's

1166
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:08.159
<v Speaker 4>research field. When you get these you know, big entities

1167
00:57:08.199 --> 00:57:11.719
<v Speaker 4>that are you know, have basically unlimited resources, do what

1168
00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:14.679
<v Speaker 4>we do will prove to be successful. Like techniques we have,

1169
00:57:14.800 --> 00:57:16.840
<v Speaker 4>we just have property equipment at the time.

1170
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:20.119
<v Speaker 2>To quote another person that I heard, he said, like,

1171
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:23.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's the famous Sagan quote, extraordinary claims require

1172
00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:27.239
<v Speaker 2>extraordinary evidence. And he said, well, extraordinary evidence requires extraordinary science,

1173
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:31.559
<v Speaker 2>and extraordinary science requires extraordinary resources, and so without those things,

1174
00:57:32.159 --> 00:57:34.719
<v Speaker 2>and you know, frankly, I think the whole premise is

1175
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:38.840
<v Speaker 2>flawed where it's like, extraordinary claims require evidence period, you know,

1176
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:43.239
<v Speaker 2>not extraordinary evidence. But anyway, I did like Jeff's question,

1177
00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:45.920
<v Speaker 2>and that was a fun thought experiment for sure.

1178
00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:49.400
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty good discussion, that's for sure, big a Jeff,

1179
00:57:49.639 --> 00:57:51.199
<v Speaker 3>and I think that's what these q and a's are

1180
00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:53.639
<v Speaker 3>really about, because we always go off on tangents, you know,

1181
00:57:53.679 --> 00:57:55.599
<v Speaker 3>we don't we don't color within the lines very well,

1182
00:57:55.599 --> 00:57:56.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't think.

1183
00:57:56.159 --> 00:57:58.760
<v Speaker 2>So they're great prompts for discussion.

1184
00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:01.239
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we're about the time limit now, so why don't

1185
00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:03.000
