<v Speaker 1>another mother, one of our best friends and colleagues for

19
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 1>podcast here.

<v Speaker 5>I am quite well. It's good to be back on

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker 5>your great show. It being better than so many Bigfoot

22
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 5>podcasts out there. I won't diss them all.

23
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead and disc I mean.

24
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Tell you want Okay, good.

25
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, well, it's very very nice of you to slam

26
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.159
<v Speaker 1>everybody else and prop us up. We really do appreciate that.

27
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to think that anything that we do here,

28
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>whether it's the podcast or my museum or my fieldwork

29
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>or anything that I'm doing personally and with anybody else,

30
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 1>is something that I personally would like to see that

31
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't see out there anywhere else. And we are

32
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of a lighthearted yet serious podcast here, which we

33
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate you coming on because we have so much

34
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. We've got you and Bobo and I

35
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>have been friends since I don't even know how long.

36
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I met you guys back in two thousand

37
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 1>and four or five or something like that, and you

38
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>guys are already friends before that, so we have quite

39
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the history together.

40
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

41
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, And that's one of the reasons, as you know,

42
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 5>I think why are show worked well was because of

43
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 5>that chemistry.

44
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I do hear that a lot like people would tune

45
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, at the very beginning. I think I was

46
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 1>a little foolish, a little naive, perhaps, said I thought

47
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>sasquatches were the star of finding Bigfoot, but it wasn't.

48
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, people tuned in, Yeah, the Bigfoot stuff was tangential,

49
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>but I think people tuned in to watch us, you know,

50
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>do our thing. And because we're kind of strong, weird personalities,

51
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of us, you know, and all of us really,

52
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and they liked seeing us do all these things out

53
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>there that they wish they could be doing. And I

54
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>think it was foolish of me to think that was

55
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 1>more about Bigfoot than us.

56
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 5>And then I remember the realization a couple of times

57
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 5>when I had with that, and I kept it kept happening,

58
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 5>and I was like, no, this can't be. We'd be

59
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 5>in a town hall, and after a town hall, of course,

60
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.039
<v Speaker 5>there's lines of people coming up, wanting autographed, wanting to

61
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 5>talk to us, and I like would get like a

62
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 5>group of people there and it would be standing sometimes

63
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 5>not just like what are the time, but a group

64
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 5>of people, and I would start talking to them about like, okay,

65
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 5>where do you live and there's an area nearby you

66
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 5>and dad, da da da da. I would talk, you know,

67
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 5>I would talk about bigfoot stuff and and and it

68
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 5>didn't I could see the expressions on their faces that

69
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 5>they weren't really keen on that as I expected they

70
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 5>would be. And I would finally say well, you know,

71
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 5>I just figured, you know, you guys are into bigfoot

72
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 5>that much, you probably want to know like where the

73
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 5>hot stuff is happening around you. And then finally I

74
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 5>would get like a comment back. People would see my

75
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 5>puzzle and just say, well, we want to know about you.

76
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 5>And that's when I realized, Yeah, there was so many

77
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 5>fans of the show where we assumed they watch you

78
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 5>just like you.

79
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>You and I.

80
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 5>We all thought the only reason they were interested in

81
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 5>us is because we were really into bigfoots and we

82
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 5>were kind of a bridge to bigfoots. But the bigfoot

83
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 5>thing was the thing that they were most interested in.

84
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 5>And then we'd come to find out, well, they're not

85
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 5>really tear that really interested in bigfoot stuff, certainly not

86
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 5>as much as us, And they were more interested in us.

87
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 5>And of course we're sitting there thinking us like we're

88
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 5>in like compare the the you know, the gravity of

89
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 5>interest about us compared to bigfoots, you know, just like

90
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 5>how could we be more interesting than than bigfoots? But yeah,

91
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 5>but for a lot of people, that was us. They

92
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 5>were they they wanted to know all about us, and

93
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, and and get close to us and and uh,

94
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 5>you know, get close to the person they saw on TV.

95
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 5>And so after a while I was like kind of like, okay, well,

96
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 5>it's like I have a whole lot more to say

97
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 5>about bigfoots than I do about myself.

98
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I personally don't find me be very interesting, you know.

99
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 1>But uh, but it was a it was a shock

100
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to me because my curiosity about sasquatches is endless.

101
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because I get shock you right now, money, Remember

102
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 3>remember my my big encounter up in ball Hills, right

103
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 3>my first encounter where it came up and I was

104
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 3>with fraid Us and all that. My buddy and I

105
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 3>watched it with the night scope.

106
00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 5>What's that road that little spur off a ball to

107
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 5>road called Johnson.

108
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I totally remember this.

109
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 3>That was twenty four years ago. In two days.

110
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I need to be.

111
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 3>Shocked because I was shocked when I was like twenty

112
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 3>four years my god.

113
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe it.

114
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 5>I know, but that she tells me, We've had a

115
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 5>lot going on in our lives, and it feels like

116
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 5>it all went by so quickly. But yeah, we've been

117
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 5>doing this for a long time. And some people look

118
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 5>at that and say, see, look you've been doing this

119
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 5>for a long time, and you know, have you caught

120
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 5>bigfoot yet?

121
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 2>It's like, yeah, I guess you don't understand.

122
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 5>You know, we're we're learning about these things, and so

123
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 5>we're not measuring our success or failure based on whether

124
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 5>we've caught bigfoot or quote found them. And then if

125
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.399
<v Speaker 5>I have somebody there, then I have to say, okay,

126
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 5>let's drill down as to what you mean by fine.

127
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 5>You know, when you mean fine, are you really what

128
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 5>you're really trying to say is do we have one

129
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 5>in a bag you know or you know? Or is

130
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 5>it by our measure that we figured out we're some

131
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 5>where we got close enough to them to at least

132
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 5>hear them. Definitely, so we found you know, an area

133
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 5>where some are around, which is feels like a pretty

134
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 5>big accomplishment when you're there and you were just trying

135
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 5>to guess it based on reports and a map. But

136
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 5>of course that doesn't satisfy the people who were not

137
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 5>there and didn't hear it with their own ears.

138
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, when you were saying, yeah, that shows

139
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 1>we've been doing it for a long time, at what

140
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 1>the thought in my head was like, Yeah, it just

141
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>shows that we're old men.

142
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly.

143
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 5>I think I told you that that funny story about

144
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 5>how I had a producer. They were thinking they wanted

145
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 5>to do a show. They were asking me about different

146
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 5>people that could be in some kind of show, like

147
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 5>a one off or something else that they were trying

148
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.720
<v Speaker 5>to develop. And they always want young people. They want

149
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:52.879
<v Speaker 5>young energetic.

150
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>That's why I was there.

151
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 5>You go all ton monsters who goes around and like

152
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 5>interviews people all over with a place and and has

153
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 5>talked to all kinds of researchers who at least call

154
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 5>themselves researchers, you know, And and said I said, O, Kate,

155
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.079
<v Speaker 5>like tell me give me that, like your a list

156
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 5>of like young energetic bigfoot researchers from which they can

157
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.720
<v Speaker 5>maybe do screen tests and stuff like that. And the

158
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 5>guy was an Alex, No, it was it was one

159
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 5>of the guys just said, uh, young and energetic.

160
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 2>H that's a tough one.

161
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean you told me that everybody's old that it's

162
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 5>involved in and stuff, and it's just like, yeah, I mean,

163
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 5>it's an older crowd that does bigfoot stuff. But our

164
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 5>show did help bring like a younger group.

165
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 2>To the table, oh for sure.

166
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 5>But it is it's different than the old group because

167
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 5>the younger group is just absorbing stuff purely through the

168
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 5>internet for YouTube, and through TV and stuff like that.

169
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.639
<v Speaker 5>And back way back when we were watching you know,

170
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 5>documentaries and in search of and stuff like that, but

171
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 5>there was also written stuff. We were aware of the authors.

172
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 5>We were aware of Brover Krantz and John Green and

173
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 5>and all those guys who were really were going out

174
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 5>and doing stuff and and putting information together. And the

175
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.319
<v Speaker 5>young group is just like, you know, you can hear

176
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 5>some kids personally, Oh, he's the he's so into bigfoots.

177
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 5>It's like he lives and breathes this stuff. And you know,

178
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 5>i'd say so, so you must, you know, what do

179
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 5>you think about John Green? And they're like, who's that?

180
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

181
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.639
<v Speaker 1>It was aggravating, right, aggravating when it's I want to

182
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.399
<v Speaker 1>pull my eyes out, right.

183
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 3>They were the celebrities before TV kind of stuff. The

184
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 3>celebrities were John Green and anyone that wrote books, and

185
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:48.559
<v Speaker 3>Bob and Roger.

186
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 5>Right exactly, anybody wrote books. And then there was like

187
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 5>the only kind of new scientist who was like coming to.

188
00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Take the reins was Meldrum.

189
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 5>And you would have hoped that there would have been

190
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 5>like at least as many of you know, form new horsemen,

191
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 5>you know, to make up for the four horsemen that

192
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 5>were fading away that were at least scientists, you know

193
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.120
<v Speaker 5>that we're to universities. But it's I know, there's a

194
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.200
<v Speaker 5>lot that are out there. I mean, at least according

195
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 5>to Darby, there's there's a lot of them that are

196
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 5>out there that you know, just kind of keep their

197
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 5>interest under their hat, but they're very willing to quietly

198
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:34.519
<v Speaker 5>help the North Carolina effort and and and be involved

199
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 5>in stuff like that. So there is a rumbling of

200
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 5>interest in scientific community, and in large part it's I

201
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:44.320
<v Speaker 5>think it's because of our show, because that's what allowed

202
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Speaker 5>the conversation to open up. People could broach the subject

203
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 5>in an academic environment by saying, you know, not sounding crazy,

204
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 5>just starting off saying, so have you seen the show

205
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.759
<v Speaker 5>finding Bigfoot? Like you know, and then approaching it from

206
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 5>that way, and that made it like enabled people to

207
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.200
<v Speaker 5>have a conversation about it because I think they didn't

208
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.360
<v Speaker 5>immediately hit the stumbling block is they're talking to a

209
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 5>person who's been who's been that it was a brainwashed

210
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 5>or misinform that Bigfoot is this one lonely creature, that

211
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 5>supposedly phantom thing that keeps popping up here and there,

212
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.600
<v Speaker 5>and they're speaking to somebody who understands it a little

213
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 5>bit more on a little more sophisticated level.

214
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.399
<v Speaker 1>You know. One of the conversations we had many years ago, Matt,

215
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.919
<v Speaker 1>when we're on the show and you're absolutely You're absolutely

216
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:34.639
<v Speaker 1>right then, and you're still right about it now if

217
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you still think the same way, is that our show

218
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 1>could have been on any network basically, but we ended

219
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.759
<v Speaker 1>up on Animal Planet, and I think that that was

220
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.039
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. You know, if it were on Discovery,

221
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it would have the same effect. But a

222
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of these smaller networks, even though they're maybe all

223
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>owned by Discovery Networks or whatever the parent company. I

224
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:57.679
<v Speaker 1>think Animal Planet had that sort of machine to it,

225
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.679
<v Speaker 1>or things on Animal Planet would be taken serious because

226
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>of all the other naturalists and such that were featured

227
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>on that on that same channel, And I think that

228
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 1>that really helped the Finding Bigfoot show have a have

229
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>an air of credibility about it.

230
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.919
<v Speaker 5>Yes, And you know, I don't have a cable tier

231
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:19.759
<v Speaker 5>anymore that has Animal Planet on it, so I don't

232
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 5>know what they're showing these days, but I'm wondering if

233
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:29.080
<v Speaker 5>it's gone full like Treehouse Masters, just like the the

234
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.960
<v Speaker 5>non animal related stuff that just like happened. They happened

235
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 5>to be able to get, you know, good advertising stuff

236
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 5>for but it did. And I was excited when it

237
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 5>was coming out of an animal planet for exactly the reason

238
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 5>that you described, because it gave it the air of respectability.

239
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.559
<v Speaker 5>And I think people were just like they it was

240
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 5>still there even after Mermaids and meg Ladon and stuff

241
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 5>like that. It's still people still thought it was. It

242
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.919
<v Speaker 5>was legit kind of like tour in the arena of

243
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.279
<v Speaker 5>national geography. At least, you know, that's what we and

244
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 5>and that's all we want.

245
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bogo.

246
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back after these messages. So three to

247
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.519
<v Speaker 1>six months doesn't seem like a long time right in

248
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.720
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot Land. It's not very long because we've been looking

249
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>for sasquatches for decades and decades and decades. But when

250
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 1>you think about what can happen in three to six months,

251
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>like what would you do in three to six months?

252
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give me six months go squatching squad

253
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.159
<v Speaker 1>of course, of course, and how much do you think

254
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.720
<v Speaker 1>is going to get done during that time? And squatching

255
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.679
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna see one in six months? Probably not, But

256
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>in three to six months, what you can see if

257
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to see a sasquatch is thicker, fuller

258
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.320
<v Speaker 1>hair regrown from hims our sponsor HYMNS. Not bad for

259
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 1>just three to six months.

260
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.679
<v Speaker 3>What if you start using HYMNS now in six months,

261
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 3>just imagine that thick full crop up there.

262
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because HYMNS will give you a convenient access to

263
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>a range of hair loss treatments that work all from

264
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 1>the comfort of your couch.

265
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.799
<v Speaker 3>They make it pretty simple, man. They use real doctors.

266
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:13.159
<v Speaker 3>It's clinically proven ingredients and they use like finesteride and monoxaville.

267
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.559
<v Speaker 1>And I love that. I did no doctor visits because

268
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>first of all, doctors who wants to go see a doctor?

269
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Nothing personal doctors. But also you make an appointment now

270
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you get in August or something forget that. So this

271
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>process is simple and one hundred percent online. And I

272
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 1>know you have access to the internet because you're listening

274
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.200
<v Speaker 3>You can pick how you want to do it, like chewables,

275
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:36.000
<v Speaker 3>oral spray, serum treatments, whatever, whatever you want. I mean,

276
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:39.159
<v Speaker 3>they can work with you in customersage, with your preferences.

277
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like it could be a one time thing, it

278
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>could be ongoing care. No insurance is needed at all,

279
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's all at one low price and that covers

280
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 1>everything from these treatments to the ongoing care.

<v Speaker 4>Results vary based on studies of topical and oral monoxidial

290
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.639
<v Speaker 4>and finasteride. Prescription products required an online consultation with a

293
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I think all of us on the on the call

294
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>right now would probably agree that finding Bigfoot did a

295
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of good for the bigfoot community in general, brought

296
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of new people in, put some new eyes

297
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>on the subject, brought got some scientists who are quietly

298
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>involved or at least interested in the background. Do you

299
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.639
<v Speaker 1>think that finding bigfoot did any harm to the subjects?

300
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Not at all.

301
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.720
<v Speaker 5>But if I'm on like on a forum, or I

302
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.720
<v Speaker 5>post something in a forum or comments, there's always some

303
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.840
<v Speaker 5>income poop who's going to pop up and say, oh, yeah,

304
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.879
<v Speaker 5>it did damage to the whole scene and hurt real researchers.

305
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.919
<v Speaker 5>And I'm just like, you know, I used to reply

306
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.080
<v Speaker 5>to that, but now I just kind of hold my tongue.

307
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:13.799
<v Speaker 5>But what I'm thinking is, and what I used to

308
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.840
<v Speaker 5>write this, Who the fuck are you? You know, real researchers,

309
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:21.639
<v Speaker 5>What do you do? You know, I've never even heard

310
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.080
<v Speaker 5>of you, And what kind of real research are you

311
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 5>doing except posting online?

312
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:27.960
<v Speaker 2>You know?

313
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.840
<v Speaker 5>And so yeah, it's it's the nobody's who've never done

314
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.279
<v Speaker 5>anything will be very critical about us getting a lot

315
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.279
<v Speaker 5>of attention for what we've done.

316
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:39.279
<v Speaker 2>And and and I.

317
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 5>Think some of them have just seen other people write that,

318
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.879
<v Speaker 5>oh yeah, they did more harm to the subject than good,

319
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.759
<v Speaker 5>and it's just like, oh yeah, you're like and you

320
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:51.879
<v Speaker 5>don't want to dignify it because they just want an

321
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:53.600
<v Speaker 5>argument that's gonna make them.

322
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 2>You know.

323
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Speaker 5>It's like the young kid coming to town with his

324
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 5>gun and saying, you know, challenging the fast just gone

325
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 5>in the West, because that's gonna make him somebody, you know,

326
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 5>even if he gets wounded.

327
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:06.279
<v Speaker 3>You know.

328
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.679
<v Speaker 5>So I just look at this and say, you know,

329
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 5>I'm not even gonna do You're such a nobody trying

330
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 5>to sound in some way morally or intellectually superior, and

331
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.120
<v Speaker 5>you're just not. You're inferior. You're a nobody. You've never

332
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.440
<v Speaker 5>done anything, shut up and go away.

333
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know. One of the concerns we all had,

334
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.559
<v Speaker 1>I think on the show is that when when it

335
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.519
<v Speaker 1>was on, we were worried about people going out and

336
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:31.039
<v Speaker 1>doing too many calls and not doing them right and

337
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>knocking at the campfire and cluing in the Bigfoots that

338
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:37.039
<v Speaker 1>we were onto their tricks. And I don't think I

339
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>don't really see that as having panned out. I mean,

340
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:41.279
<v Speaker 1>some areas might be a little blown out, like Salt

341
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Fork or something like that, but for the most part,

342
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that that our fear has really come

343
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 1>to fruition.

344
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.799
<v Speaker 5>It has happened to some degree that people would go

345
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.200
<v Speaker 5>out and they'll howl and they'll knock, but they're doing

346
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.240
<v Speaker 5>it just like.

347
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>They're not doing it in a systematic and continuous way.

348
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.840
<v Speaker 5>It's like something they do once time and like they

349
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 5>maybe here's something, but we hear about it because so

350
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.599
<v Speaker 5>we get some reports sound reports where people are mentioning

351
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.440
<v Speaker 5>that they had seen the show and they did a

352
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.359
<v Speaker 5>couple of howls or knocks and what they heard seemed

353
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 5>to be in response to that. So I get that

354
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:16.799
<v Speaker 5>every once in a while. But yeah, I remember we

355
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 5>had the fears that so many people would go on

356
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.640
<v Speaker 5>and do it and then the trick wouldn't work anymore.

357
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.359
<v Speaker 5>But I kept falling back on. And then of course

358
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:29.200
<v Speaker 5>there was those areas like you know, West Morris Campground

359
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 5>and Yuwari, a couple of places where the locals found

360
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:36.039
<v Speaker 5>out like our honey hole, and they were going there

361
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.440
<v Speaker 5>trying to get something going. But there was just a

362
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.359
<v Speaker 5>handful of spots like that. Salt Fork would be another

363
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.599
<v Speaker 5>place that people just went in and tried to do

364
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.440
<v Speaker 5>so much stuff. But what I kept falling back on

365
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.680
<v Speaker 5>is there's so many locations of where there's bigfoots around

366
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.559
<v Speaker 5>that it's not you know that they're not going to

367
00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.559
<v Speaker 5>be able to blow out all of them. And the

368
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.200
<v Speaker 5>best reactions responses comes from, you know, when you're finally

369
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.960
<v Speaker 5>going to a place like real remote spot or someplace

370
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.480
<v Speaker 5>it's no but no bigfoot's ever gone before. And it's

371
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.200
<v Speaker 5>that that's why it's so important to do it right,

372
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:17.000
<v Speaker 5>to make the sounds and do it properly, because it's

373
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.599
<v Speaker 5>that first response where you're going to have the best

374
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:23.599
<v Speaker 5>chance of getting a good sound recording or getting you know,

375
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.799
<v Speaker 5>getting some thermal footage or something else. And then you

376
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.440
<v Speaker 5>have to rely on after that. Like up at bumping,

377
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.480
<v Speaker 5>they're still curious enough to come around, but that would

378
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.319
<v Speaker 5>be like in a case of bumping, it's because they're

379
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.119
<v Speaker 5>up in that valley anyway. And I say that openly

380
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:43.720
<v Speaker 5>about bumping is because of the fires. I know, it's

381
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.920
<v Speaker 5>it's changed up there quite a bit, So I don't

382
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.039
<v Speaker 5>know if the same kind of stuff would still happen

383
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.559
<v Speaker 5>that used to happen, even though we bring you know,

384
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 5>lots of people up there, and and and and but

385
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.279
<v Speaker 5>people would like with Bart still had a pretty damn

386
00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.799
<v Speaker 5>good close encounter even though We've been doing expedition, like

387
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:05.799
<v Speaker 5>a dozen expeditions up there in the summertime prior to that,

388
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:11.400
<v Speaker 5>So it doesn't always ruin things, but it depends that

389
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:13.960
<v Speaker 5>that's the place the Bigfoots are already around, and the

390
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.319
<v Speaker 5>forest is such that they can get It's thick enough

391
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.759
<v Speaker 5>where they can get pretty close to watch you, especially

392
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:22.759
<v Speaker 5>at night, and not worry that you're gonna, you know,

393
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.519
<v Speaker 5>race on after them and you know, or line them

394
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:28.759
<v Speaker 5>up with a spotlight. They'll they'll still have that you know,

395
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 5>curiosity combined with the boldness that comes from having good cover.

396
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:36.079
<v Speaker 2>In this situation.

397
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, there's still still a whole lot of good

398
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.319
<v Speaker 5>places around that even we don't know about yet. I

399
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.160
<v Speaker 5>just found out one just two days ago about you know,

400
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.799
<v Speaker 5>hearing about this daylight encounter that happened yesterday morning, very

401
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.839
<v Speaker 5>close to the shore of Lake Erie, about halfway between

402
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:58.279
<v Speaker 5>Toledo and Detroit. And when I looked at the map,

403
00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 5>I'm just like an area of photos. I'm like, what

404
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:04.839
<v Speaker 5>this place? Because it's on the outskirts of a town,

405
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.759
<v Speaker 5>it's on the Lake Erie, but it's not like there's

406
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.480
<v Speaker 5>big vast forests around it. That it's a Midwest situation

407
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:18.359
<v Speaker 5>where you have railroad tracks coming out of farmland passing

408
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.279
<v Speaker 5>by basically in between the town and the edge of

409
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:27.039
<v Speaker 5>the lake, and it brushes up against this very big marsh,

410
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:31.200
<v Speaker 5>and the marsh area is full of deer because it's

411
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:34.680
<v Speaker 5>so close to town that it's a no hunting area.

412
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:37.920
<v Speaker 5>And now I've seen that on a couple of occasions.

413
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 5>I saw that with Omaha, Nebraska, and a couple of

414
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:43.960
<v Speaker 5>the areas where there's sidings where you find out where

415
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:47.000
<v Speaker 5>it is you're going, My god, that's awfully close to town,

416
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.960
<v Speaker 5>and then you find out, yeah, but in these woods

417
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.839
<v Speaker 5>that are very close to town number one, there's a

418
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.359
<v Speaker 5>railroad bed that comes out of the farmland and goes

419
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.359
<v Speaker 5>right through there and number one. But also it's full

420
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:02.960
<v Speaker 5>of deer because hunting isn't loud. And that's especially an

421
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.839
<v Speaker 5>element in the Midwest where it's flat because they it's

422
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.559
<v Speaker 5>no hunting because they don't want bullets traveling into the neighborhood,

423
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.160
<v Speaker 5>you know. So but yeah, so there's pockets like that

424
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 5>in different places. And I just found out about that

425
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 5>one yesterday, and I would have thought there's no way,

426
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.599
<v Speaker 5>and then I started looking up. Sure enough, there's reports

427
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.119
<v Speaker 5>going back to like nineteen sixty five in the same area.

428
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.000
<v Speaker 5>And I post the reports on Facebook, knowing that, yeah,

429
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Speaker 5>that's probably going to kick up other information. And sure

430
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.359
<v Speaker 5>enough there's other people popping full popping up, including some

431
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.359
<v Speaker 5>local researchers or one guy saying, yeah, I got a

432
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.319
<v Speaker 5>research area near there, but it's the other side of town.

433
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:44.920
<v Speaker 5>And then another one pops up saying, don't listen to him.

434
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:46.920
<v Speaker 5>He doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm the one

435
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:50.799
<v Speaker 5>who does the best research right here. Okay, I guess

436
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:53.279
<v Speaker 5>that tells me there really is some action around there.

437
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:55.720
<v Speaker 2>If the bigfooters are dissing each other.

438
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, at least it tells you there's big researchers dound

439
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.880
<v Speaker 1>now there because they're dissing each other, right.

440
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 5>And then yet another one pops in, trying to show

441
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:09.079
<v Speaker 5>that he's superior in knowledge to the other two by

442
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.319
<v Speaker 5>just laying it all out, like everything he knows. And

443
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 5>I wrote back saying, Okay, that's great, that's like, you know,

444
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:16.640
<v Speaker 5>don't just say you're a better researcher and this you

445
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:18.200
<v Speaker 5>know stuff. It's like, no, say what you know?

446
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:19.839
<v Speaker 2>What do you know? What do you know?

447
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:22.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you don't say because that reminds me of

448
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:24.400
<v Speaker 5>the way it used to be in Ohio. People would

449
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 5>get this information and they were very guarded about it

450
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:30.759
<v Speaker 5>when they would get it back in the day. And

451
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.400
<v Speaker 5>and you know, this is before the Internet, and they

452
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't just like willingly post or publish information, especially with

453
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 5>like location information, because they was so worried about some

454
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 5>other researcher coming in there and basically stealing their thunder

455
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:47.640
<v Speaker 5>or taking credit for them, and so they are just

456
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:50.000
<v Speaker 5>like very protective of it. And so when I was

457
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 5>out there, I'm just like, no, I mean, it's like,

458
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.640
<v Speaker 5>let if you got information, let people know, because that

459
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.960
<v Speaker 5>tends to bring in more information and more recent and

460
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.640
<v Speaker 5>none of that's going to happen if you just like

461
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:04.720
<v Speaker 5>kind of keep it all close to the vest.

462
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a problem with that. But you know, you

463
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.400
<v Speaker 1>brought up this new area as something that you kind

464
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 1>of picked up just recently and kind of learned, And

465
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:15.599
<v Speaker 1>I was while you were talking, I was reflecting about

466
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:17.920
<v Speaker 1>how finding Bigfoot for me at least, was kind of

467
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.200
<v Speaker 1>like like Bigfoot College in a lot of ways. I mean,

468
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:24.079
<v Speaker 1>I've been around for a long time before the show started,

469
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:26.880
<v Speaker 1>but traveling the United States and really the world and

470
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:31.920
<v Speaker 1>seeing the various habitat that sasquatches lurk around in and

471
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 1>what their needs are and the commonalities and the differences

472
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:36.920
<v Speaker 1>really taught me a lot. And one of my big

473
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.279
<v Speaker 1>takeaways was Sasquatches don't give a darn about your expectations.

474
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>They go where they want to go, and they are

475
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.160
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of places that you wouldn't expect, just

476
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 1>like this location you just mentioned. Do you have any

477
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:49.599
<v Speaker 1>big takeaways because you had been big footing, you and

478
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Bobo had been big footing longer than I had when

479
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the show started, and you know, and I learned a

480
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:57.160
<v Speaker 1>lot from both of you guys, But are there any

481
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 1>big takeaways that really you look back on the finding

482
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.039
<v Speaker 1>big foot years and say, Wow, going in, I hadn't

483
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.839
<v Speaker 1>expected that, But coming out, of course that makes sense.

484
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 1>And now I carry that along in my briefcase and knowledge.

485
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.119
<v Speaker 5>I'd have to think about that because there was so

486
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm always thinking geographically, and so I was aware of

487
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:23.880
<v Speaker 5>the geographic places where they had been seen, but I

488
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.880
<v Speaker 5>guess there was still there was lots of parts of

489
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:31.119
<v Speaker 5>the country that I thought you would expect there to

490
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:34.720
<v Speaker 5>be a lot more forest around because you're comparing it

491
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:36.799
<v Speaker 5>in your mind to like places where they're seen in

492
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:42.640
<v Speaker 5>the Northwest and solid forest where it's way more forest

493
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:46.640
<v Speaker 5>than you know, either farm or development. And then finding

494
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:49.319
<v Speaker 5>out like you know, we were in South Dakota and

495
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:52.440
<v Speaker 5>you're you know, you're just like on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

496
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:54.759
<v Speaker 5>You're near the bad lands, and you're looking out just

497
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:59.160
<v Speaker 5>basically across grassy hilltops and it looks like there's only

498
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:02.440
<v Speaker 5>a few scout sattered trees on ridges here and there,

499
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.279
<v Speaker 5>and then but you see it in the aerial views that, yeah,

500
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 5>all it takes is there to be a ribbon of

501
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:13.240
<v Speaker 5>woods along a creek in between some of these hills,

502
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:16.880
<v Speaker 5>and that's enough for them to be able to get

503
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 5>out of the sun and get out of view during

504
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 5>the day and so and that's exactly what the deer

505
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:23.759
<v Speaker 5>do as well.

506
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.079
<v Speaker 2>So I had to.

507
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:28.039
<v Speaker 5>Twist and say, Okay, it's we're looking at areas that

508
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 5>are squatchy, but then we have to look at places

509
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:33.359
<v Speaker 5>that we would not consider squatchy but for the fact

510
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.160
<v Speaker 5>that there's a ton of deer around. And so, yeah,

511
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:39.799
<v Speaker 5>deer will end up populating in a lot of places,

512
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:43.640
<v Speaker 5>and their predators will end up going after them in

513
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:47.359
<v Speaker 5>this case, you know, bigfoots are you know one, you know,

514
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:50.920
<v Speaker 5>one of the predators. Now that kind of replaced what

515
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:54.200
<v Speaker 5>was a bigger predation scene because the only other predators,

516
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:56.960
<v Speaker 5>like in the Midwest for them would be like groups

517
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.559
<v Speaker 5>of coyotes, because the big cats and the water were

518
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.519
<v Speaker 5>eradicated a long time ago, and the bigfoots have, i think,

519
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:07.039
<v Speaker 5>have taken advantage of it. Not that they were preyed

520
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 5>upon by those species, but those species were going after

521
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:14.480
<v Speaker 5>and putting pressure on the deer and affecting their moods

522
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:20.640
<v Speaker 5>as well. So it's I think over time it seemed

523
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 5>as though, yeah, the population of bigfoots, it really does

524
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:28.400
<v Speaker 5>seem to be like their numbers are growing rather than diminishing,

525
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:31.319
<v Speaker 5>because we're just getting more and more reports and from

526
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:34.480
<v Speaker 5>places we didn't expect, and these also happened to be

527
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:36.480
<v Speaker 5>so many of them are places where there's like a

528
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:41.039
<v Speaker 5>deer over population problem, which is we wish we had

529
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:42.759
<v Speaker 5>in California but we don't anymore.

530
00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I was specifically thinking about South Dakota actually when I

531
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.400
<v Speaker 1>asked that question, because that's one of the places that

532
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>really blew my mind that like sasquatches are here, but

533
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.160
<v Speaker 1>there's no trees, you know, or very few trees, or

534
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the farmlands in Minnesota, you know, where everything's formed out,

535
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and that you only have these ribbons of trees in

536
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.960
<v Speaker 1>between the property lines, you know, basically along the property

537
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.759
<v Speaker 1>lines and the creeks. Those places, especially in the early

538
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 1>days of finding Bigfoot, really surprised me that they held

539
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.200
<v Speaker 1>sasquatches so consistently and there's so many reports around. So

540
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.319
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of exactly what I was thinking when I

541
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>asked that question.

542
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.720
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, nor North Dakota came to my mind. And

543
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.759
<v Speaker 3>then the Oklahoma when we kayaked there outside Oklahoma City,

544
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.559
<v Speaker 3>like those are the spots that were like, wow, there

545
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:27.000
<v Speaker 3>are these places that's really tripped me.

546
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in Oklahoma City, like inside the city limits. Really

547
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I think that that wasn't that preserve technically in the

548
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.039
<v Speaker 1>city limits. If it wasn't, it was right outside of it.

549
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, it was within the city limits, and the

550
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.279
<v Speaker 5>simil limits on some of those Midwestern towns like extend

551
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.599
<v Speaker 5>out a long way the farm land. But yeah, there

552
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 5>is another one where theyre could get right up close

553
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.680
<v Speaker 5>to cities and get people would say say, that's the

554
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.359
<v Speaker 5>look on the aerial photos that looks like it's real

555
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.920
<v Speaker 5>close to town like under the assumption that they're going

556
00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 5>to try to be as far away from towns as possible.

557
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:01.519
<v Speaker 5>And I was at the point out what it's like.

558
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:04.680
<v Speaker 5>You know, there's tons of deer in that area and

559
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:07.359
<v Speaker 5>it's a no hunting area, so they could be in there,

560
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.519
<v Speaker 5>and if the terrain is like swampy enough or difficult enough,

561
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.880
<v Speaker 5>then they could be in like islands among the marsh

562
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:18.319
<v Speaker 5>that people and dogs are never going to get to,

563
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.640
<v Speaker 5>and you you just wouldn't know it. And that's why

564
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:25.319
<v Speaker 5>I'm thought, okay in those places. That's why you know,

565
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:27.920
<v Speaker 5>if it's got the right kind of trees and stuff

566
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:29.880
<v Speaker 5>and the leaves fall off in the winter, then a

567
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.359
<v Speaker 5>good drone might be useful in.

568
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:33.079
<v Speaker 2>A place like that.

569
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:36.160
<v Speaker 5>But the price of thermal drums has not really come

570
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:39.759
<v Speaker 5>down far enough for them to be as widespread as

571
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:43.759
<v Speaker 5>I would wish. And yeah, you're still talking about for

572
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 5>a therm, a good thermal drone, you're still talking about

573
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:49.480
<v Speaker 5>it around five thousand bucks. That's one of those things you

574
00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:52.240
<v Speaker 5>have a place, and you have technology that could apply

575
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:55.319
<v Speaker 5>to it, but unless you know, you're not going to

576
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:57.119
<v Speaker 5>have a lot of people doing it on their own

577
00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:59.200
<v Speaker 5>unless the price tag comes down quite a bit.

578
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

579
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Bogo will be right back after these messages. You've really

580
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:17.039
<v Speaker 1>taken to droning in general. You have a thermal drone yourself.

581
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:19.559
<v Speaker 1>I know when you attend your expeditions for the BFROL

582
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:22.839
<v Speaker 1>you often take it with you. What is the strategy

583
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that you're employing with the drone.

584
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:30.359
<v Speaker 5>The strategy would be like if we knew a place

585
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.000
<v Speaker 5>in California, Sierra's where it was a little bit like

586
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:37.119
<v Speaker 5>bumping that even though we had done expeditions in this

587
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:39.559
<v Speaker 5>area year after year after year at the same time

588
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:43.319
<v Speaker 5>of year, the bigfoots would still come around, like they're

589
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:45.440
<v Speaker 5>going to be up there no matter what. But they

590
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.160
<v Speaker 5>would still come around. And that was great because people

591
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 5>coming on the trips, they'd get to see them or

592
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:54.039
<v Speaker 5>hear them, or see glowing eyes and sometimes people would

593
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:56.920
<v Speaker 5>get like, well, you know a little like either thermal

594
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:01.000
<v Speaker 5>stills or you know, a little thermal e clips and

595
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:05.319
<v Speaker 5>things like that. And so the strategy we would employ

596
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:08.119
<v Speaker 5>is I would try to get up at a high spot,

597
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:11.720
<v Speaker 5>high up as possible, like on a rock ledge so

598
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:14.240
<v Speaker 5>that if I flew, I could fly the drone way

599
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:17.200
<v Speaker 5>out over the valley and still have line of sight

600
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 5>with the drone because you can go so much further

601
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:24.359
<v Speaker 5>with those and still have green transmission, and then you're

602
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:27.319
<v Speaker 5>not have to worry about it like it's beyond the trees,

603
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:29.960
<v Speaker 5>and then eventually you're losing your signal and then it

604
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.319
<v Speaker 5>just goes into return to home mode and it flies

605
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:34.799
<v Speaker 5>right back. So yeah, so I would get up at

606
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Speaker 5>a high point, I would know where the people are,

607
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:40.240
<v Speaker 5>and I'm just kind of up there waiting, or I

608
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:42.119
<v Speaker 5>have a couple of groups spread out waiting for some

609
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:44.240
<v Speaker 5>of them to say, Okay, we've got something going on here,

610
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:46.759
<v Speaker 5>come and take a look, et cetera, et cetera. But

611
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:51.839
<v Speaker 5>the experimentation of that showed some of the limitations, and

612
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:54.200
<v Speaker 5>because we've did that a few of the places. Number one,

613
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:57.119
<v Speaker 5>the big bugaboo is if you're in a place where

614
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.920
<v Speaker 5>there's a tree canopy and there's a lot of and

615
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 5>you can't really see through it that well to even

616
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 5>spot your own people down there. And then in the Sierras,

617
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.160
<v Speaker 5>it wasn't as much the canopy because it was conifers

618
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:14.000
<v Speaker 5>and they're spread out a little bit. But you've got

619
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:18.119
<v Speaker 5>so much granite boulders and outcroppings and everything, and in

620
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:23.240
<v Speaker 5>the summertime they absorb so much warmth that freaking everything

621
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:26.960
<v Speaker 5>is glowing. And you know, I remember I was. I

622
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:29.400
<v Speaker 5>was blown away and kind of disappointed. At the same time.

623
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:32.160
<v Speaker 5>I've got a group of people around me with the drone.

624
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:35.240
<v Speaker 5>We're on top of the big rock granite rock outcropping,

625
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:40.200
<v Speaker 5>and I'm having trouble discerning the people are that are

626
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:42.920
<v Speaker 5>out a distance away, out like by this pond where

627
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:46.240
<v Speaker 5>they've had these encounters before, and I don't spot them,

628
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:48.720
<v Speaker 5>and I'm like, Okay, I'm going to try to calibrate

629
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.119
<v Speaker 5>the heat sensitivity on people's What I'll do is I'll

630
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:54.240
<v Speaker 5>fly back over me and the little group of people

631
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:57.279
<v Speaker 5>that are surrounding me on top of this granite outcropping,

632
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 5>and then calibrate it the right way so the people's

633
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:03.599
<v Speaker 5>heat signature is going to pop out. And I bring

634
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:05.559
<v Speaker 5>the drone over and I get it above us, and

635
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:09.279
<v Speaker 5>we're looking down this big granite slab and where of

636
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 5>course it's it's getting a little chili, so we're all

637
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:14.279
<v Speaker 5>wearing you know, jackets and stuff like that, and it

638
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:19.200
<v Speaker 5>turns out the granite is warmer, releasing more heat than

639
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.680
<v Speaker 5>we are. You know, we're covered up with jackets and

640
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:24.920
<v Speaker 5>pants and stuff, and the ground that everything around is warm,

641
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:27.720
<v Speaker 5>so you can't see us unless you're like down within,

642
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.119
<v Speaker 5>like with fifty feet of us. Can you discern that,

643
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.039
<v Speaker 5>oh yeah, there's some people moving around down there on

644
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.960
<v Speaker 5>top of that big warm blob of granite, which just

645
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:42.119
<v Speaker 5>completely it just makes it so you can't discern any details,

646
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:45.880
<v Speaker 5>so that it's like, okay, well that it's only really

647
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:48.319
<v Speaker 5>going to be good in a place where there's not

648
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:53.079
<v Speaker 5>a lot of exposed rocks and at a time of

649
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:55.359
<v Speaker 5>year where the leaves are off the trees, or there

650
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:59.000
<v Speaker 5>just isn't a lot of trees around. So that means

651
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:03.279
<v Speaker 5>you're ruling out like the whole big good areas. You're

652
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:05.759
<v Speaker 5>not going to be able to use the drone. It's

653
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:07.920
<v Speaker 5>not going to be as useful as like handheld thermal

654
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 5>for example, on the Olympic Peninsula where it's just like

655
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.319
<v Speaker 5>or in the Redwoods where you've got such big heavy

656
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:18.759
<v Speaker 5>tree canopy that you know, somebody says, oh, I've got

657
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:20.880
<v Speaker 5>one over here. It's only about like one hundred feet

658
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:22.680
<v Speaker 5>in front of me send the drone over, and you're

659
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.559
<v Speaker 5>sending a droneover and like, okay, well where are you?

660
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:28.799
<v Speaker 5>I can the drone can't even spot you, so I

661
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:32.680
<v Speaker 5>can't figure out where the Bigfoot is from there. So

662
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:35.720
<v Speaker 5>that's why I'm like hopeful in places there's going to

663
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:40.160
<v Speaker 5>be in a BFR expedition later this summer in Arizona,

664
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.559
<v Speaker 5>very close to the New Mexico border, and in that place,

665
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:48.119
<v Speaker 5>the trees, the ponderosa pines and stuff are spread out,

666
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:51.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, with one extreme being like rainforest where it's

667
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.640
<v Speaker 5>the canopy is like shag carpet. It's just solid and

668
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:58.880
<v Speaker 5>compared to like parts of the Rockies where the trees

669
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 5>are further apart, you can actually see down through the

670
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 5>woods a whole lot better. So you know, I'm hoping

671
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:08.360
<v Speaker 5>that I can make it to that, and I would

672
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:10.320
<v Speaker 5>certainly want to bring, you know, a lot of gear

673
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:13.440
<v Speaker 5>to that. But that's that's a good location, a piece

674
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:18.119
<v Speaker 5>of private property that's grandfathered into national forest, and it's

675
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:20.679
<v Speaker 5>one of the most remote places you've ever seen, like

676
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.079
<v Speaker 5>down by the Gila And I think Bobo, you went

677
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:26.199
<v Speaker 5>through the Gela Mountains and I always remember you talking

678
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:28.719
<v Speaker 5>about how blown away you were, I think if we

679
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:32.840
<v Speaker 5>drove through it with your dad, yeah, yeah, yeah, And

680
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:36.239
<v Speaker 5>so what did you think going through the Gela Mountains.

681
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Dude, They're they're there.

682
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:40.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I mean, I can't believe I haven't been back

683
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:41.920
<v Speaker 3>because when I was there, I was like, this place

684
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:43.679
<v Speaker 3>is insane. I got to get back here.

685
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I went back there.

686
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:50.559
<v Speaker 3>I've been back there, but I wasn't like equipped enough enough,

687
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:52.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, a good gear.

688
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:55.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but yeah, it's it's it's it's popping.

689
00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and it's full of wildlife and it's like one

690
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:02.360
<v Speaker 5>of those places because it's in southern New Mexico, so

691
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 5>your mind isn't picturing like how alpine it is when

692
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:10.360
<v Speaker 5>you're up at nine thousand feet, even though you're in

693
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:13.920
<v Speaker 5>the southern you know, the southern end of a southern state.

694
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:16.559
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, you get up high enough and it's wet,

695
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:19.280
<v Speaker 5>especially in the key part of the year, which is

696
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:23.039
<v Speaker 5>you know, the summer, when it would be just absolutely

697
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:26.960
<v Speaker 5>baking hot everywhere else on you know, the Lawer elevations.

698
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:30.800
<v Speaker 5>But up high they're getting rain. They're getting like monsoonal

699
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:35.679
<v Speaker 5>summer rain. So between that and then what naturally happens

700
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:37.760
<v Speaker 5>in the winter, it's like, yeah, place is very green,

701
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:41.559
<v Speaker 5>even though we're closer to the Mexico border than we

702
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:46.119
<v Speaker 5>are to the Colorado border, so that that that's so. Anyways,

703
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:47.639
<v Speaker 5>they're gonna do a trip in a place like that.

704
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:49.039
<v Speaker 5>But anyway, I'm rambling on.

705
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:51.679
<v Speaker 1>No, No, it's great and it's all good information.

706
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:55.760
<v Speaker 3>What have you seen on your therm or recorded that?

707
00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Like was the squad because I know when we were

708
00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:00.639
<v Speaker 3>shooting in West Virginia, we had that had we had

709
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.639
<v Speaker 3>stuff on drone and those guys were so nervous about

710
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:06.000
<v Speaker 3>flying their new thirty five thousand dollars drone they wouldn't

711
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:08.039
<v Speaker 3>Like we kind of blew it because we I think

712
00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:10.599
<v Speaker 3>we had them, We had them right there on camera,

713
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:13.280
<v Speaker 3>and then we we flew away too quick. We didn't

714
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:13.920
<v Speaker 3>have a backup.

715
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:15.840
<v Speaker 2>But have you seen anything like that? Sense you did

716
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:18.320
<v Speaker 2>anything happen like that where you think you were on them?

717
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:23.800
<v Speaker 5>No, because we haven't. We just simply haven't done the

718
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:30.039
<v Speaker 5>drone enough compared to just like people with handheld therms,

719
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:34.280
<v Speaker 5>so they haven't got and plus and then you can't

720
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 5>keep the drone up in the air that long compared

721
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 5>to people on the ground with handheld therms. So I

722
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:46.719
<v Speaker 5>think if there was a thermal drone on every single trip,

723
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:50.159
<v Speaker 5>every single Bigfoot expedition, then I think we'd have more.

724
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:54.400
<v Speaker 5>But there is handheld therms on every single expedition, So

725
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:56.960
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't surprise me that people are getting you know,

726
00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:59.679
<v Speaker 5>I'm hearing back after expansion. No, we may have got something,

727
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.840
<v Speaker 5>and then you get something back and it's just like

728
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:05.320
<v Speaker 5>it's too distant and too blobby, and I say, you know,

729
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:07.639
<v Speaker 5>it really may be a Bigfoot, but it's not going

730
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:10.880
<v Speaker 5>to impress anybody. But what I was envisioning at some

731
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:14.719
<v Speaker 5>point is that we would popularize the idea of using

732
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.039
<v Speaker 5>a thermal drone, and that way so many more people

733
00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:19.079
<v Speaker 5>were going to go out and get them and start

734
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.400
<v Speaker 5>doing it themselves. But you know, not everybody can lay

735
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:26.280
<v Speaker 5>down five grand for a therm for a thermal drone,

736
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:28.840
<v Speaker 5>and a lot of people are scared. I mean I

737
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.480
<v Speaker 5>tell people like, listen, you can get just like kind

738
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:35.079
<v Speaker 5>of a trainer drone, you know, for one hundred and

739
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:38.960
<v Speaker 5>fifty bucks and then at least get over your fear

740
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:42.599
<v Speaker 5>of flying a drone. And they have fear that they're

741
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.400
<v Speaker 5>going to crash it immediately. And I just and that's

742
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:47.840
<v Speaker 5>why what I've had one of the most important things

743
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:49.800
<v Speaker 5>I've done when I've been on a trip and had

744
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:53.519
<v Speaker 5>my drone is just like force everybody to get a

745
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:57.480
<v Speaker 5>little bit of experience flying it and so that they're

746
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:00.559
<v Speaker 5>they're at least not afraid of the dam things. You've

747
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:03.840
<v Speaker 5>got the fear that they had that the mixes in

748
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:08.440
<v Speaker 5>with the price point, that tends to deter.

749
00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:09.079
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people.

750
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:12.559
<v Speaker 5>And but yeah, now people are warming up to there's

751
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:16.159
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people buying handheld thermals from us, and

752
00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:18.400
<v Speaker 5>I think that may be like the next step is

753
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:23.159
<v Speaker 5>they see the usefulness of thermal technology if nothing else.

754
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.320
<v Speaker 5>For you're a lot more comfortable going out in the

755
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:27.320
<v Speaker 5>woods when you have a handheld therm so you can

756
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:29.599
<v Speaker 5>look around and see, you know, if there's something big

757
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:31.639
<v Speaker 5>in the woods, when you hear some you know, move

758
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:35.880
<v Speaker 5>into the leaves and kind of the next step from that,

759
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.760
<v Speaker 5>the step up from that is to being able to

760
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 5>have that kind of imaging up in the air above

761
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:47.000
<v Speaker 5>it and it will you know, I really like it.

762
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.719
<v Speaker 5>If if the drone prices, I mean it was a

763
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.320
<v Speaker 5>dramatic jump for the drone prices went from twelve thousand

764
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.920
<v Speaker 5>to five thousand, five to six thousand, and that was

765
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:00.199
<v Speaker 5>the same company that was DJI, And I was hoping

766
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:03.960
<v Speaker 5>that price trajectory was going to continue such that like

767
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:07.280
<v Speaker 5>thermal drones would eventually then come down to about two

768
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.239
<v Speaker 5>thousand dollars. But what's happened is the drones themselves the

769
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:16.519
<v Speaker 5>price for those. If it's with regular cameras, like daylight cameras,

770
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:20.920
<v Speaker 5>those prices do continue to come down. They come down,

771
00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:23.760
<v Speaker 5>but when you add the thermal element to it, it's

772
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:24.760
<v Speaker 5>still expensive.

773
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:25.559
<v Speaker 2>You know.

774
00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:29.960
<v Speaker 5>It's it makes the drone cost three times as much

775
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:34.000
<v Speaker 5>as it was if it just had a daylight camera.

776
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:37.079
<v Speaker 3>Whichmalld use Matt I.

777
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:42.800
<v Speaker 5>Have one that it's the Mavic DJ Mavic three T

778
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:45.400
<v Speaker 5>And I was I should tell you about that. I

779
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.480
<v Speaker 5>was thrill the other day because I was I saw

780
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:52.000
<v Speaker 5>these incredible prices for drones on Temu, and of course

781
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:55.960
<v Speaker 5>the advertisement look great. It's got three sixty obstacle detection

782
00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:59.599
<v Speaker 5>and four K and like all these superficial things, and

783
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:01.360
<v Speaker 5>I thought, yeah, I mean, if they're going to be

784
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:05.239
<v Speaker 5>that cheap, I'll buy one for every single BFRO organizer.

785
00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:07.960
<v Speaker 5>And then I start looking into it, and of course

786
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.039
<v Speaker 5>all those cheap ones. Yeah, they might have a four

787
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:15.639
<v Speaker 5>K camera, but it's wide angle and it doesn't zoom in.

788
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:19.519
<v Speaker 5>And then I've used AI like rock and Chat GPT

789
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:23.519
<v Speaker 5>to tell me like what drone? What? Which drones have

790
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:28.960
<v Speaker 5>the best color, like daylight, telephoto ability I'm not even

791
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:30.360
<v Speaker 5>getting into. I'm no, I'm not going to get a

792
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:33.559
<v Speaker 5>cheap one with thermal, but at least to have something

793
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:37.800
<v Speaker 5>so telescopic that you can zoom in on something from

794
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:39.599
<v Speaker 5>so far away that it's not going to hear the

795
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:42.760
<v Speaker 5>drone and it turns out, Yeah, those Temu drones, no,

796
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:46.400
<v Speaker 5>they only have wide angle. And then one of the

797
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:49.880
<v Speaker 5>problems is even if it comes with two batteries, you

798
00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:52.440
<v Speaker 5>might want to get several more so you can be

799
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:56.079
<v Speaker 5>flying around for a while and then maybe have enough.

800
00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:58.199
<v Speaker 5>We're on a quick recharge. You could actually get some

801
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:01.039
<v Speaker 5>of them recharging, but they're the problem. You buy off

802
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:02.960
<v Speaker 5>of Temu, then you're not gonna It's not like buying

803
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:07.400
<v Speaker 5>from Dji, where you could get like the exact accessories

804
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 5>that go with that drone. You can't do that for

805
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:13.280
<v Speaker 5>stuff off of Demo because it's like really shady who's

806
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:16.800
<v Speaker 5>making these different drones And you'd have to get in

807
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:18.880
<v Speaker 5>touch with them and to just kind of believe these

808
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:22.440
<v Speaker 5>people in China that the batteries that you're paying for actually,

809
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, match the drone that you bought from them,

810
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:29.599
<v Speaker 5>and good luck. Yeah. So I'm just like, no, it

811
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:32.159
<v Speaker 5>was I had high hopes that, you know, I was

812
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:34.360
<v Speaker 5>going to be able to get at these good daylight

813
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:39.679
<v Speaker 5>telescopic drones for everybody. But no, no, it's it's just

814
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:42.639
<v Speaker 5>wine angle, which is only good for landscape shots.

815
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, It's not you got a wine angle on

816
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:45.960
<v Speaker 2>a drone.

817
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:48.960
<v Speaker 5>You're not gonna see anything, you know, on the ground

818
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:51.400
<v Speaker 5>unless it's like a person in daylight in the middle

819
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:52.400
<v Speaker 5>of an open field.

820
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

821
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:07.119
<v Speaker 1>Bogo will be right back after these messages. Drone technology

822
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:10.519
<v Speaker 1>is certainly promising for getting some sort of footage, and

823
00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:12.679
<v Speaker 1>of course the closer you are to the Sasquatch, the

824
00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:14.079
<v Speaker 1>better the footage is going to be. But also the

825
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.440
<v Speaker 1>more probably afraid the Sasquatch is going to be. There's

826
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:18.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be some issues I think with certainly the first

827
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.039
<v Speaker 1>couple pieces of drone footage, unless that's already been obtained,

828
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:24.599
<v Speaker 1>in which case I think I'm right anyway, because I

829
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:26.559
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard about them, and there's probably issues with them.

830
00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you can't tell what it is, or you know,

831
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:31.159
<v Speaker 1>it's too far away, it's too ambiguous as sort of thing.

832
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:34.639
<v Speaker 1>But you've actually gotten footage of Sasquatches before. I mean,

833
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:38.320
<v Speaker 1>you're responsible for the pancake footage in Kentucky, for example,

834
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:41.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think it would be instructive to our listeners

835
00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the lengths that you had to go to go through

836
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:48.239
<v Speaker 1>to get that footage. I mean, it's ridiculous when I

837
00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:50.280
<v Speaker 1>tell people, like what you actually had to do to

838
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:55.960
<v Speaker 1>obtain that footage. It's astonishing how paranoid I guess Sasquatches

839
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:57.519
<v Speaker 1>are that you had to do that. Can you talk

840
00:42:57.559 --> 00:42:58.679
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about that for us?

841
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:03.199
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the little clips one of you know, the best

842
00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:05.360
<v Speaker 5>one I don't own because I was paid to go

843
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:09.400
<v Speaker 5>get it, and that was for the Kentucky project. But

844
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:15.039
<v Speaker 5>I also got to another one in another very brief

845
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:19.360
<v Speaker 5>one in Wisconsin, and then one at Wellsville at like

846
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:23.159
<v Speaker 5>the same place where I got the Ohio how recording.

847
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:26.480
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we're like the surveillance camera was actually mounted

848
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:30.480
<v Speaker 5>on the very same tree where the microphone had been mounted.

849
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:33.840
<v Speaker 5>Months before that got that recording. And yeah, so in

850
00:43:33.880 --> 00:43:37.199
<v Speaker 5>all three cases, it wasn't you know, it wasn't with

851
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:41.000
<v Speaker 5>a handheld camera. It was always the case where you

852
00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:43.960
<v Speaker 5>had ones that were coming back over and over, and

853
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:49.440
<v Speaker 5>it was setting up a surveillance camera uh. And and

854
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:54.199
<v Speaker 5>but surveillance camera at the right place uh and then

855
00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:56.440
<v Speaker 5>letting it roll and having it aim the right way

856
00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:58.960
<v Speaker 5>and then getting some kind of you know, some some

857
00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:03.239
<v Speaker 5>footage that would impressed Bigfoot researchers and the people who

858
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:07.880
<v Speaker 5>know us and and yeah, so it was in in

859
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:11.360
<v Speaker 5>the for the Wellsville the place where the Ohio recording

860
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:14.519
<v Speaker 5>was gotten, it was doing a lot of stuff with

861
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:18.519
<v Speaker 5>sound hearing, getting those distent recordings, but also hearing these

862
00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:20.960
<v Speaker 5>things come up very close to the microphone on a

863
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:24.119
<v Speaker 5>number of occasions. And then had to go back then.

864
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:28.239
<v Speaker 5>I mean, remember the technology was so different back then,

865
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:31.280
<v Speaker 5>like in the mid nineties, so you didn't have the

866
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:33.400
<v Speaker 5>cheap stuff that you could buy today. They would have

867
00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:37.559
<v Speaker 5>they would have illuminator like like covert illuminators in I

868
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:40.440
<v Speaker 5>are I basically had to just like cobble this stuff

869
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:45.639
<v Speaker 5>together myself and use illuminators that weren't very covert and

870
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:49.000
<v Speaker 5>that affected, you know, the behavior of the bigfoots, because

871
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:51.199
<v Speaker 5>if they see any kind of little red light on

872
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.320
<v Speaker 5>it could dramatically, you know, make them a lot more

873
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:58.960
<v Speaker 5>cautious than if it's completely dark. And so in Kentucky

874
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:03.559
<v Speaker 5>we heard that there was these big poots coming around

875
00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:07.679
<v Speaker 5>this particular property. We figured out why they were doing it,

876
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:10.760
<v Speaker 5>and that was at first because these people were putting

877
00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:15.159
<v Speaker 5>catfish into this, like this pond that they had dug

878
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:18.800
<v Speaker 5>specifically in the purpose of holding catfish that they had

879
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:21.079
<v Speaker 5>caught in the river. And they would throw their their

880
00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:25.639
<v Speaker 5>leftovers into this pond to fatten up the catfish. And

881
00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:28.719
<v Speaker 5>and that's when they noticed that there was big footprints

882
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.639
<v Speaker 5>coming around the edge of the pond at night, and

883
00:45:31.639 --> 00:45:34.960
<v Speaker 5>and something was going in and grabbing those catfish. So

884
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:38.960
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of a lot of legs to that story.

885
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:43.800
<v Speaker 5>But basically we talked about it on the group discussion

886
00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:46.960
<v Speaker 5>and Adrian Erickson said, hey, listen, you got to go

887
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:49.239
<v Speaker 5>out with this is a kind of a rare circumstance.

888
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:51.760
<v Speaker 5>You've got to go out there and get some footage.

889
00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:53.199
<v Speaker 5>And here I'll send you some money so you can

890
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:56.400
<v Speaker 5>go out and get and get the right kind of

891
00:45:56.480 --> 00:46:01.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, get something with kind of surveillance equipment, because

892
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:04.519
<v Speaker 5>we knew we could use infrared. So I went out

893
00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:08.400
<v Speaker 5>there and we set that up and and it worked

894
00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:11.159
<v Speaker 5>right away. I mean we got well, I think the

895
00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:13.119
<v Speaker 5>first time we set it up and it's like stopped

896
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:15.559
<v Speaker 5>recording and it didn't work. But we knew that one

897
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:18.679
<v Speaker 5>comer came around because it had taken the plate of food,

898
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:19.679
<v Speaker 5>and it was the.

899
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Very next night and we had it working right and

900
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:24.599
<v Speaker 2>it was we had it.

901
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:28.159
<v Speaker 5>I learned the past is if you want to try

902
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:30.800
<v Speaker 5>to get it with a surveillance camera, the best way

903
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:32.320
<v Speaker 5>to do it is have a camera that can be

904
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:36.280
<v Speaker 5>at a distance away from the spot where you think

905
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:38.760
<v Speaker 5>it's going to come to and kind of zoom in

906
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:41.639
<v Speaker 5>so there's not a camera like right there on top

907
00:46:41.719 --> 00:46:45.840
<v Speaker 5>of them, but a little bit further away. And then

908
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:47.880
<v Speaker 5>I had to I remember, I figured out I had

909
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:51.760
<v Speaker 5>to get an illuminator that I that would not be

910
00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:54.880
<v Speaker 5>as visible. There'd be no glow. And of course people say, oh,

911
00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:56.599
<v Speaker 5>I think they can see in for red. But with

912
00:46:56.719 --> 00:47:00.280
<v Speaker 5>the pancake footage taught me was because I had a

913
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:03.719
<v Speaker 5>nine like like a covert little illuminator that was like

914
00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:07.239
<v Speaker 5>about the size and shape of a hockey puck that

915
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:11.079
<v Speaker 5>I had hanging basically down from a tree, pointed straight

916
00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:14.360
<v Speaker 5>down to the plate of pancakes. And when we got

917
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:16.159
<v Speaker 5>the footage and we saw that this thing that which

918
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:18.960
<v Speaker 5>was so skittish about not wanting to come into the light,

919
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:23.639
<v Speaker 5>came and sat down right on the berm, right underneath

920
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:28.000
<v Speaker 5>this beam of light. And I'm like, Okay, it clearly

921
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:32.280
<v Speaker 5>does not know it is being illuminated by something, because

922
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:35.480
<v Speaker 5>it wouldn't be. This thing was so careful about not

923
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:40.079
<v Speaker 5>stepping in any light that it obviously doesn't know. So

924
00:47:40.199 --> 00:47:44.920
<v Speaker 5>then I knew then, okay, covert ir especially in that angle,

925
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:47.039
<v Speaker 5>because I think it might have seen maybe if they

926
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:50.159
<v Speaker 5>can see into the infrared spectrum a little bit better

927
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:53.159
<v Speaker 5>than humans can. And of course now we know chimpanzees

928
00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:55.480
<v Speaker 5>can see a little bit further into the infrared spectrum

929
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:56.559
<v Speaker 5>in humanizements.

930
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.039
<v Speaker 3>I thought it avoided the beam of light when it

931
00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:01.320
<v Speaker 3>sat down. I thought it on the edge, like just

932
00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:02.679
<v Speaker 3>off the edge of the light.

933
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:05.760
<v Speaker 5>No, it sat down right where it usually set to.

934
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:07.159
<v Speaker 5>I mean it was on the edge when it was

935
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:10.039
<v Speaker 5>still Like, if it wasn't illuminated by the light, you

936
00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:12.719
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't have seen it at all in that video, so

937
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:16.719
<v Speaker 5>it was it wasn't avoiding it. I mean, if it

938
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:20.480
<v Speaker 5>would have sat down, it wouldn't have sat down directly

939
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:22.599
<v Speaker 5>underneath it, because it would have fallen off the edge

940
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:26.800
<v Speaker 5>into the into this pond. But the beam wasn't just

941
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:30.239
<v Speaker 5>like a very tight cone, you know, there was some

942
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:34.079
<v Speaker 5>peripheral illumination around it, and the thing definitely got within

943
00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:39.000
<v Speaker 5>that cone of illumination and didn't stay away from it.

944
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:42.920
<v Speaker 5>So it one thing was it didn't look straight up,

945
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:45.480
<v Speaker 5>and maybe if it had looked straight up, it might

946
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.639
<v Speaker 5>have detected a little bit of a dull, faint red glow,

947
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:53.920
<v Speaker 5>but it didn't look up and notice anything, so it

948
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:57.679
<v Speaker 5>couldn't It certainly couldn't see the illumination on the ground

949
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:02.480
<v Speaker 5>around it, like you could see through the infrared surveillance

950
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:05.719
<v Speaker 5>camera that we had aimed at it, And so the

951
00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:09.840
<v Speaker 5>infrared illuminated and could certainly see better infrared better than

952
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:13.199
<v Speaker 5>the bigfoots could see. That was pretty obvious to us.

953
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:17.920
<v Speaker 5>And so we got that and I think that's still

954
00:49:18.039 --> 00:49:22.400
<v Speaker 5>probably the longest clip that they got out of that.

955
00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:26.599
<v Speaker 5>And I kind of extracted myself from that situation because

956
00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:29.159
<v Speaker 5>it was kind of a conflict in between, you know,

957
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:31.920
<v Speaker 5>my approach to trying to get it versus theirs. And

958
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:35.880
<v Speaker 5>I thought, if they try to get the camera right down,

959
00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:38.519
<v Speaker 5>because of course, when you see the footage, you thought, oh,

960
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:41.280
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to be more clear, more crisp, and so

961
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:44.039
<v Speaker 5>you'd only get that if you brought the camera closer.

962
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:46.360
<v Speaker 5>But if you bring the camera closer, then the thing

963
00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:48.679
<v Speaker 5>might see that and it might be deterred by that.

964
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:50.440
<v Speaker 5>And of course that's exactly what happened.

965
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Now, how far away was the camera and how did

966
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you hide it from the Sasquatch?

967
00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:59.199
<v Speaker 5>It was about one hundred feet away. And get this

968
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:03.920
<v Speaker 5>was in at a shed, kind of a glorified shed.

969
00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:05.719
<v Speaker 5>I mean it was a place. It was like a

970
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:09.000
<v Speaker 5>work shed that was attached to a garage up on

971
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:12.679
<v Speaker 5>a hill, up on a slope, about one hundred feet away.

972
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:15.159
<v Speaker 5>And we'd go in the shed where people you know,

973
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:20.400
<v Speaker 5>usually aren't in there, and the camera was in the room,

974
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:22.960
<v Speaker 5>not at the window, looking right out from the edge

975
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:25.760
<v Speaker 5>of the window. We opened up the window and I

976
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:29.960
<v Speaker 5>installed the camera at the back of the room, up

977
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:34.320
<v Speaker 5>in a little dark cubby inside this dark room inside

978
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:38.320
<v Speaker 5>the shed. So it was aimed out through the open

979
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:41.840
<v Speaker 5>window across the room and then looking down the slope.

980
00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:45.920
<v Speaker 5>So there's just no way in hell it could see

981
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:48.079
<v Speaker 5>the camera. It would know that there was a camera

982
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.360
<v Speaker 5>looking at it, and the only risk was whether it

983
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:55.079
<v Speaker 5>would notice there's an illuminator there. But then you know,

984
00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:58.400
<v Speaker 5>if the illuminator had been like down a ground level

985
00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:02.679
<v Speaker 5>or an eye level looking at outsideways, it might have

986
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:04.760
<v Speaker 5>noticed that. And that's what people would do. They put

987
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:07.320
<v Speaker 5>the illuminator kind of close to the camera, so it's

988
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:10.159
<v Speaker 5>like aimed out in the same direction of the camera.

989
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I knew that that was a mistake.

990
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:14.559
<v Speaker 5>I knew that the camera, I mean, the illuminator had

991
00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:18.320
<v Speaker 5>to be shining from an angle that the bigfoot wasn't

992
00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:22.280
<v Speaker 5>gonna immediately see that that illuminator when it walked up

993
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:25.400
<v Speaker 5>toward the food. And so yes, the illuminator was up

994
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:28.159
<v Speaker 5>in a tree about just like as much as high

995
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:29.559
<v Speaker 5>up as I could get it where I could still

996
00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:33.119
<v Speaker 5>reach it, and then just aimed straight down, so when

997
00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:36.519
<v Speaker 5>it approached, even if it could see even better into

998
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:39.679
<v Speaker 5>the spectrum, it just wouldn't have noticed, and it didn't

999
00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:44.639
<v Speaker 5>notice that it was approaching that light. And contrast that

1000
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:48.400
<v Speaker 5>within Ohio. When I got that footage, that was with

1001
00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:52.840
<v Speaker 5>the biggest, like the only illuminator that infrared illuminator I

1002
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:56.199
<v Speaker 5>could make back then in ninety four was one I

1003
00:51:56.239 --> 00:51:59.039
<v Speaker 5>had to build. I mean I literally got like a

1004
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:05.440
<v Speaker 5>six inch disc that was Israeli Army surplus infrared glass.

1005
00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Uh. And then that.

1006
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:11.480
<v Speaker 5>Was big enough about six inch in diameters. So I

1007
00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:16.159
<v Speaker 5>then had a machining shop make the housing for it

1008
00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:20.480
<v Speaker 5>so it would slip into this six inch diameter kind

1009
00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:23.880
<v Speaker 5>of cylinder, so imagine something that looked like a cylinder

1010
00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:26.880
<v Speaker 5>like a bucket. Put the illuminator the glass in that,

1011
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:29.760
<v Speaker 5>and then put a flood lamp behind it, a white

1012
00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:33.000
<v Speaker 5>flood lamp. Well, when he did that, and if you

1013
00:52:33.079 --> 00:52:36.440
<v Speaker 5>looked directly into it, then you'd see a big red cloud.

1014
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:38.239
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it wasn't enough so that it would like

1015
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:40.760
<v Speaker 5>light up everything, but it was just like you'd notice

1016
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:43.440
<v Speaker 5>this kind of illumination that was like kind of a

1017
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:46.639
<v Speaker 5>dull like charcoals on the fire kind of.

1018
00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Level of illumination. And the Bigfoot did see that.

1019
00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:53.880
<v Speaker 5>And so when it comes up to the bait box

1020
00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:57.519
<v Speaker 5>in that footage, it kind of leans out from a

1021
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:01.079
<v Speaker 5>tree and it's it's just so frustrating because it's so

1022
00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:05.599
<v Speaker 5>close to the camera and the illuminator is so bright

1023
00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:09.840
<v Speaker 5>that all you see is a white silhouette, a white

1024
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:15.400
<v Speaker 5>silhouette of a big, tall thing leaning out slowly from

1025
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:18.000
<v Speaker 5>behind a tree, leaning over to look at what's in

1026
00:53:18.039 --> 00:53:22.280
<v Speaker 5>the bait box. And so that was definitely footage that

1027
00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:26.119
<v Speaker 5>was definitely a bigfoot. It wouldn't impress anybody else, though,

1028
00:53:26.360 --> 00:53:28.360
<v Speaker 5>like unless you were there, because people would look at

1029
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:31.079
<v Speaker 5>it and say, you would have no gauge of knowing

1030
00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:35.760
<v Speaker 5>just how big that thing was and knowing, you know,

1031
00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:39.239
<v Speaker 5>how all the other things that had happened there. But

1032
00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:42.280
<v Speaker 5>for me, it was it was great, and I knew

1033
00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:45.320
<v Speaker 5>obviously the thing was it was so cautious about just

1034
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:49.960
<v Speaker 5>leaning over and then leaning back that it was smart

1035
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:52.440
<v Speaker 5>enough to know that, oh, yeah, this is there's something

1036
00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:57.360
<v Speaker 5>something not right about this that you know. It wasn't

1037
00:53:57.480 --> 00:54:01.599
<v Speaker 5>encountering situation like that, here's this electronic and this round

1038
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:05.280
<v Speaker 5>illumine you thing that glows and then there's like a

1039
00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:08.639
<v Speaker 5>camera there that's on a tree. So I think those

1040
00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:12.119
<v Speaker 5>are like the best bets still situations, And of course

1041
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:14.920
<v Speaker 5>I look for those. I look and listen for those

1042
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:18.400
<v Speaker 5>where there's a bigfoot repeatedly coming around of private property

1043
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:23.199
<v Speaker 5>over and over again, and you have competent home owners

1044
00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:26.519
<v Speaker 5>that like you can send some gear to or who

1045
00:54:26.559 --> 00:54:29.920
<v Speaker 5>will be able to buy it themselves, and then who

1046
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:34.239
<v Speaker 5>will follow kind of your rules of caution about it,

1047
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:37.679
<v Speaker 5>like and and and and make it so that like,

1048
00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:43.760
<v Speaker 5>not under underestimate how smart the bigfoots are, but set

1049
00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:45.480
<v Speaker 5>it up in such a way as if they're almost

1050
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:49.239
<v Speaker 5>like trying to catch a human burglar or a human power.

1051
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:51.920
<v Speaker 5>Making it so it's that concealed.

1052
00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1053
00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:56.360
<v Speaker 5>And then if you're going to do that nowadays, doing

1054
00:54:56.400 --> 00:54:59.440
<v Speaker 5>it with even cameras that do infrared illuminators, it's so

1055
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:04.519
<v Speaker 5>much to do that now. But part of one of

1056
00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:08.760
<v Speaker 5>the dynamics is in those situations that the human dynamics

1057
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:13.239
<v Speaker 5>is people who've got a bigfoot coming around their property

1058
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:16.280
<v Speaker 5>all the time and like stealing dog food or coming

1059
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:19.679
<v Speaker 5>to a chicken coop, they don't want the bigfoot coming around.

1060
00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:23.119
<v Speaker 5>They're not happy about it. They want the contact us

1061
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:26.719
<v Speaker 5>because they want us to make it go away. You know,

1062
00:55:26.760 --> 00:55:28.880
<v Speaker 5>they're not delighted like, oh there's a bigfoot, maybe we

1063
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:31.039
<v Speaker 5>can get some footage. And you have to try to

1064
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:34.079
<v Speaker 5>put them in that frame of mind that like, look,

1065
00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:38.960
<v Speaker 5>they're lucky, they're not in danger. They're actually fortunate, and

1066
00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:43.760
<v Speaker 5>there's an opportunity there, and so that's not always the case,

1067
00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:47.159
<v Speaker 5>and that's only rarely the case. And then they have

1068
00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:50.360
<v Speaker 5>to be you know, confident enough to say, okay, I'm

1069
00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:52.840
<v Speaker 5>going to set up this surveillance equipment, you know, thing

1070
00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:54.679
<v Speaker 5>to get it, because they have to think, okay, well,

1071
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:58.119
<v Speaker 5>what happens if they succeed and if they get some

1072
00:55:58.199 --> 00:56:02.599
<v Speaker 5>footage of a bigfoot on their property and and people

1073
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:04.400
<v Speaker 5>see the footage and they get all excited and word

1074
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:08.519
<v Speaker 5>gets out about it, and they know who the you know,

1075
00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:10.880
<v Speaker 5>they hear the people's names, and there then they can

1076
00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:14.360
<v Speaker 5>figure out where the location is. So there's all the

1077
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:17.679
<v Speaker 5>those kind of complications that you don't think about when

1078
00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:21.760
<v Speaker 5>you're a bigfooter in California trying to tell somebody in Michigan,

1079
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:24.280
<v Speaker 5>like what they need to do to get footage of

1080
00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:27.440
<v Speaker 5>this bigfoot that's coming around. They have their own concern

1081
00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:29.159
<v Speaker 5>where they're like, I don't know if I should be

1082
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:33.400
<v Speaker 5>doing this, you know, leave out food for it now, No, no, no,

1083
00:56:33.440 --> 00:56:35.400
<v Speaker 5>we want these things to go away. I'm afraid for

1084
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:40.039
<v Speaker 5>my wife and my kids. So there's considerations that you

1085
00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:43.400
<v Speaker 5>you don't at first think about, but you always have

1086
00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:45.440
<v Speaker 5>to do with them. So you're looking for that gem

1087
00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:49.320
<v Speaker 5>of like say, an older guy who's very brave, who

1088
00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:51.519
<v Speaker 5>knows enough about the Bigfoot subject to know that they

1089
00:56:51.559 --> 00:56:56.519
<v Speaker 5>don't attack people, and who's technically savvy enough where they

1090
00:56:56.519 --> 00:56:59.360
<v Speaker 5>can set up something like that. And then the other

1091
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:02.360
<v Speaker 5>thing is then they got to check the footage kind

1092
00:57:02.360 --> 00:57:06.159
<v Speaker 5>of on a regular pattern, so they you know, they

1093
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:09.800
<v Speaker 5>know if they actually did get something. And so there's

1094
00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:12.239
<v Speaker 5>just there's a whole lot more than you would think

1095
00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:15.960
<v Speaker 5>about it. But I'm minimizing like all the months. I mean,

1096
00:57:16.119 --> 00:57:19.719
<v Speaker 5>the Kentucky thing came together and happened pretty quick. The

1097
00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:26.320
<v Speaker 5>Ohio one took a lot of time. Wisconsin we had

1098
00:57:26.360 --> 00:57:28.760
<v Speaker 5>one set up, and still there was a lot of

1099
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:30.800
<v Speaker 5>trial and air about where to set up stuff so

1100
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:33.880
<v Speaker 5>that it would get it. But yeah, so my footage

1101
00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:38.239
<v Speaker 5>and I know people they there's some guys out there.

1102
00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:41.760
<v Speaker 2>And usually the guys who are who.

1103
00:57:41.559 --> 00:57:45.840
<v Speaker 5>Didn't like didn't prefer the idea of setting up a

1104
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:49.119
<v Speaker 5>surveillance camera and getting it that way in a place

1105
00:57:49.119 --> 00:57:53.239
<v Speaker 5>of coming around because their fantasy is the brave guy

1106
00:57:53.320 --> 00:57:56.880
<v Speaker 5>like the Roger Patterson with the camera who runs up

1107
00:57:56.920 --> 00:57:59.760
<v Speaker 5>to it and he gets the footage and it becomes

1108
00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:02.679
<v Speaker 5>the because he was brave enough, you know, to get

1109
00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:05.880
<v Speaker 5>it handheld. And that's a lot more macho than just

1110
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:07.880
<v Speaker 5>like setting up some equipment and coming back and getting

1111
00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:10.039
<v Speaker 5>you know, seeing what it got later on.

1112
00:58:10.599 --> 00:58:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think that's exactly why someone like Mike Green

1113
00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:15.639
<v Speaker 1>was successful, because he pulled himself out of the situation.

1114
00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I've seen there's other footage that I'm aware of that

1115
00:58:18.320 --> 00:58:21.119
<v Speaker 1>have been taken on surveillance cameras, like home surveillance cameras

1116
00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:23.760
<v Speaker 1>that that like it's pretty okay, you know, and and

1117
00:58:24.880 --> 00:58:28.280
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't again, it wouldn't convince anybody outside the bigfoot world.

1118
00:58:28.280 --> 00:58:30.719
<v Speaker 1>But I know these witnesses and they got one and

1119
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's real. And they showed me the footprints

1120
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that went with it. But whatever, somebody poo poos footage like, oh,

1121
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:38.840
<v Speaker 1>that's not very good, or you know, that's that does

1122
00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:42.599
<v Speaker 1>just look like anything. Whatever. I always say, well, you know,

1123
00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:44.480
<v Speaker 1>feel free to do better. I'd love to see it,

1124
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:48.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, because none of this is easy, right, right, and.

1125
00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:51.400
<v Speaker 5>So the benefit people understand, like like in the case

1126
00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:54.239
<v Speaker 5>of Mike Green, one of the key key things was

1127
00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:58.639
<v Speaker 5>there is he was camping there hoping many times a

1128
00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:02.679
<v Speaker 5>thing would come up and you know, come around while

1129
00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:05.360
<v Speaker 5>he was there where he could get it in handheld mode.

1130
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:08.559
<v Speaker 5>And then the way he finally got is he left

1131
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:11.559
<v Speaker 5>out the candy bar and he left the campground. He

1132
00:59:11.599 --> 00:59:14.239
<v Speaker 5>bugged out of the campsite and he was gone and

1133
00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:18.079
<v Speaker 5>then it comes up to get the candy bar. So

1134
00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:20.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, so there was a situation where he had

1135
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:24.800
<v Speaker 5>proved it's like it makes a big difference if you

1136
00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:28.000
<v Speaker 5>can extract yourself from the situation and just let the

1137
00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:31.199
<v Speaker 5>equipment do the work. And it was people say, oh,

1138
00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:33.360
<v Speaker 5>that's not going to convince anybody. I mean, remember Mike

1139
00:59:33.400 --> 00:59:36.039
<v Speaker 5>Green thought that that was going to be like the

1140
00:59:36.199 --> 00:59:38.079
<v Speaker 5>end all. He was like wanted to hype it is

1141
00:59:38.119 --> 00:59:40.840
<v Speaker 5>that's the best thing since the Patterson footage. So he

1142
00:59:41.000 --> 00:59:44.800
<v Speaker 5>thought it was more important and valuable than it really was.

1143
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:47.280
<v Speaker 5>I was told him, listen, Mike, the value of it

1144
00:59:47.320 --> 00:59:49.840
<v Speaker 5>is is it shows you that there's one there. It

1145
00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:53.360
<v Speaker 5>shows you that they they do have a thermal signature.

1146
00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:55.880
<v Speaker 5>It's going to stand out in the woods like that,

1147
00:59:56.000 --> 00:59:58.000
<v Speaker 5>and it's valuable and then it should give you reason

1148
00:59:58.079 --> 00:59:58.360
<v Speaker 5>to go.

1149
00:59:58.440 --> 01:00:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Back and keep trying to get more footage.

1150
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think the two big takeaways from Mike Green's

1151
01:00:04.119 --> 01:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>footage is number one, that they're hiding from us in

1152
01:00:06.519 --> 01:00:09.199
<v Speaker 1>the dark, you know. I think that's a big takeaway

1153
01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:14.119
<v Speaker 1>that they they probably don't understand that we who look

1154
01:00:14.239 --> 01:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>so similar to them, can't see in the dark as

1155
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>well as they can. I think that's a huge takeaway

1156
01:00:19.239 --> 01:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>for us bigfooters. And the second thing, of course, is

1157
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>that Mike did leave the situation because you're a hundred

1158
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>percent right. Everybody wants to be Roger Patterson. Everybody wants

1159
01:00:29.039 --> 01:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to be the guy or gal holding the camera. But

1160
01:00:32.199 --> 01:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's a huge takeaway as well as

1161
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>if you can remove your ego from the situation, I

1162
01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:39.199
<v Speaker 1>think you probably have a better shot at footage, right.

1163
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>And I took that to the extreme.

1164
01:00:41.119 --> 01:00:43.599
<v Speaker 5>It's like, not only am I do I not have

1165
01:00:43.639 --> 01:00:46.440
<v Speaker 5>to be the hero by holding the camera, but I

1166
01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:49.159
<v Speaker 5>don't even have to be there. I don't care who

1167
01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:52.880
<v Speaker 5>gets it. I would tell some some witness who's got

1168
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:54.719
<v Speaker 5>some activity and tell them how to do it so

1169
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:57.719
<v Speaker 5>they can, you know, get the glory, or maybe some

1170
01:00:57.800 --> 01:01:01.079
<v Speaker 5>other bigfoot researcher who goes there, but you know, and

1171
01:01:01.159 --> 01:01:04.360
<v Speaker 5>the best bet would be the property owner themselves. But yeah,

1172
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:06.760
<v Speaker 5>they talk about it with their wife and they're thinking, yeah,

1173
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:09.079
<v Speaker 5>we can get some footage on our own property that's

1174
01:01:09.079 --> 01:01:11.920
<v Speaker 5>going to become famous all over the place. And then

1175
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:14.639
<v Speaker 5>we have to worry about people with guns sneaking on

1176
01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:16.320
<v Speaker 5>our property trying to kill the thing.

1177
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1178
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:21.480
<v Speaker 5>So there's that that that issue always comes up, but

1179
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:25.880
<v Speaker 5>it's or very often comes up. But yeah, yeah, the

1180
01:01:25.960 --> 01:01:30.280
<v Speaker 5>more you extract yourself in those situations and where and

1181
01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:33.760
<v Speaker 5>thereby raising your odds that you're going to get something,

1182
01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:37.880
<v Speaker 5>then it really shows kind of like what I saw

1183
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:41.199
<v Speaker 5>recently with this thing in you know, between Toledo and Detroit.

1184
01:01:41.679 --> 01:01:44.639
<v Speaker 5>There's the bigfooters who want to like gather the information,

1185
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:47.239
<v Speaker 5>really want to understand the big pots, and then the

1186
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:51.440
<v Speaker 5>ones who are doing it because they want the evidence,

1187
01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:53.440
<v Speaker 5>they want to be the heroes who gets it, so

1188
01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:56.599
<v Speaker 5>they could have a YouTube channel or a YouTube video

1189
01:01:56.679 --> 01:02:00.719
<v Speaker 5>showing how great they are and how brave they are,

1190
01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:05.760
<v Speaker 5>and and and they think like, unless it's gonna unless

1191
01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:08.360
<v Speaker 5>the footage is gonna immediately make a folk hero out

1192
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:10.920
<v Speaker 5>of them, that it's not even worth the effort. It's like, okay, well,

1193
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:13.199
<v Speaker 5>you know, if those are your conditions, then you're not

1194
01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:15.679
<v Speaker 5>gonna go very far if you need to be there

1195
01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:18.119
<v Speaker 5>the one holding the camera, and you're not gonna be

1196
01:02:18.239 --> 01:02:20.480
<v Speaker 5>idea of just being able to say, yeah, I got

1197
01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:24.280
<v Speaker 5>it was with a surveillance camera and I wasn't there

1198
01:02:24.440 --> 01:02:28.159
<v Speaker 5>and maybe somebody else was helping me. If that isn't

1199
01:02:28.199 --> 01:02:30.159
<v Speaker 5>good enough for them, then you know, the hell with them.

1200
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:32.559
<v Speaker 5>They're just they're just one of these big footers that's

1201
01:02:32.559 --> 01:02:35.480
<v Speaker 5>really just trying to become a hero rather than trying

1202
01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:39.599
<v Speaker 5>to document these things and understand them whatever little clues

1203
01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:42.920
<v Speaker 5>you can glean from it, Like with Mike Green video,

1204
01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:45.440
<v Speaker 5>like you said, it was sneaky even though it was

1205
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:49.079
<v Speaker 5>totally dark there, and the thing was still belly crawling

1206
01:02:49.119 --> 01:02:52.800
<v Speaker 5>around in total darkness. But yeah, they can't understand that

1207
01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:55.119
<v Speaker 5>we you know, I think they know that we can't

1208
01:02:55.119 --> 01:02:57.400
<v Speaker 5>see as well as they can in the dark. But

1209
01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:00.960
<v Speaker 5>in that case, it's the thing is belly crawling around

1210
01:03:01.039 --> 01:03:04.559
<v Speaker 5>even though Mike has left the campground, And I think

1211
01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:07.400
<v Speaker 5>part of it was they know that at any moment,

1212
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:11.280
<v Speaker 5>somebody maybe at another camp site across the way because

1213
01:03:11.320 --> 01:03:13.679
<v Speaker 5>there was still I think a couple of other people there,

1214
01:03:13.679 --> 01:03:15.599
<v Speaker 5>I don't remember what he is the only one in

1215
01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:19.360
<v Speaker 5>the whole campground. But where they're coming around people at night,

1216
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:22.199
<v Speaker 5>they seem to be very aware that you might bust

1217
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:25.360
<v Speaker 5>out a spotlight. So it's not necessarily that they can

1218
01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:27.440
<v Speaker 5>they think you can see them at the moment, but

1219
01:03:27.519 --> 01:03:30.079
<v Speaker 5>that they could be unless they have something they can

1220
01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:32.719
<v Speaker 5>get behind or standard cover, that they could be lit

1221
01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:34.280
<v Speaker 5>up by a light. And they don't want to be

1222
01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:37.599
<v Speaker 5>lit up by a light, you know. And and so

1223
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:42.039
<v Speaker 5>belly crawling through the grass is if they want to

1224
01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:43.920
<v Speaker 5>come up and grab a candy bar is something that

1225
01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:45.159
<v Speaker 5>they won't hesitate doing.

1226
01:03:45.960 --> 01:03:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, Matt, we've been on for a little

1227
01:03:48.239 --> 01:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>over an hour now, so and it turns out that

1228
01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:55.199
<v Speaker 1>when you consented to going on to the members episode afterwards,

1229
01:03:55.400 --> 01:03:57.079
<v Speaker 1>and we put a little post out to our members

1230
01:03:57.079 --> 01:03:58.519
<v Speaker 1>and I did, I did mention that we have some

1232
01:04:02.840 --> 01:04:06.519

01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>for you for the last hour or while we've been

1234

1235
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:12.719
