<v Speaker 2>years now?

21
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's about about twenty years.

22
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. So that means you guys must have

23
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 2>started when you were four? Is that right?

24
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 3>Just about I don't feel it, that's for sure.

25
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>So you this gout got there last night? Do you

26
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>stay at Boba's house or do you get a hotel?

27
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Or do you stand in the truck or what do

28
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you do?

29
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? You know this one this weekend. We usually don't

30
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 3>stay out. We might a couple of nights, but we

31
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 3>usually just do some intermittent use his house as the

32
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 3>base camp, if you will, and watch our football and eat,

33
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 3>do everything else and head out periodically. Nice.

34
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 2>And I was Thanksgiving for you because it must have

35
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 2>been a big to do at the Coatino house.

36
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh, thank you. Yeah, I know it was awesome. It was.

37
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 3>We did mom and Dad's. I took over Christmas Eve

38
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 3>so they still got it. And thirty five so big family,

39
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, thank got Some of them were actually spread

40
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 3>out in other areas would be one hundred, pretty easy,

41
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 3>these big Italian families. But no, it was a.

42
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 2>Blast, fantastic. Did you do the cooking?

43
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 3>No, actually they did. You know, It's never been my

44
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 3>type of food. I've never been into the things, so

45
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm kind of getting into it a little bit lately.

46
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 3>And Kim does a great job. But I yeah, I'll

47
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 3>do Christmas Eve. I'll do all the Italian stuff, the

48
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 3>seafood stuff. But yeah, not big on Thanksgiving. Do you

49
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 3>guys have a good one?

50
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, it was good, It was good. I went

51
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>to the woods in the morning, that was rad. I

52
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>found an interesting print. I cast it. I got the

53
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>toes pretty good. The rest of the planter surface didn't

54
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>turn out very well though, I mean because it wasn't

55
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 2>really even there. I didn't even try that hard. So

56
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I made a damn and I made sure that the

57
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>plaster would stay in the right place, so I got

58
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 2>a really nice impression of the toes. I'm not exactly

59
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>sure which individual it is, but I suspect it might

60
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>be the male that is rarely found in the area

61
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>because it is very, very wide. It is probably about

62
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>probably seven or eight inches wide, and I think that's

63
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>just bigger than the fourteen inch and the twelve inch

64
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>would be so, and the impression that was there was

65
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 2>about fifteen inches, so maybe it's the fourteen inch one,

66
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's the mail. I think we've now

67
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>got two or three prints of the mail in the area,

68
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>and the footprint seems to be about fifteen fifteen and

69
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 2>a half inches long. So yeah, anyway, so I got

70
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>a cast on my birthday, which is rad and then

71
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 2>came home by one point thirty started preparing the turkey.

72
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed cooking turkeys, so I did that, and then

73
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 2>Melissa and I just kind of hung out and ate

74
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>some turkey and all that fixing sort of stuff, killed

75
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 2>a bottle of wine, and watched Fellowship of the Ring.

76
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 3>So that's great. Was that a call in or was

77
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 3>that a random on that morning?

78
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

79
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 2>Oh the track? Yeah, Oh, it was just random. It

80
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>was just random. I'm in the woods one to three

81
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>days a week at this moment, you know, So I

82
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 2>always hit the same couple areas because I mean it

83
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>would be I don't know, man, I wish there were

84
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>more of me and I had more time to do it.

85
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>But I try to hit the same one or two

86
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 2>three different spots every single time I go, which is

87
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>every single week, because if I find something like I

88
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 2>found it yesterday but I didn't find it the week before,

89
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 2>well then I have a time frame in which the

90
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>creature walked through, you know, so I think I think

91
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>that's important. And then if I had more time, which

92
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't yesterday, I try to hit a new area

93
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 2>that I don't think anyone has gone into and I'm

94
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 2>trying new roads and new new locations and you know,

95
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>driving thirty minutes away and you know, hitting that sort

96
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>of thing. You know, just trying to use my brain

97
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 2>a bit to try to wrap my head around what

98
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>these things are doing. So that's the plan, you know,

99
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 2>go to the normal spots to see if they've been

100
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 2>there the last week, and if if we don't find anything,

101
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 2>then go to a new spot to see, you know,

102
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>just just a pope to see what's in there, because

103
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 2>you just never know, man, unless you go, you just

104
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 2>won't know.

105
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

106
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So that that was alliday, of course. And other

107
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>than that, I've been working basically, you know, I've been

108
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 2>piecing together a video, great video. I should send it

109
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>to you if I don't say so myself. I think

110
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 2>it's a pretty great video.

111
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, check it out.

112
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, go check it out that I'll send it to you.

113
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a museum member video, of course. And then it

114
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>looks like we're losing Scott, one of my employees. So

115
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 2>he just covers weekends right now, so I'm gonna have

116
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 2>to be covering weekends for a while until we get

117
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>him replaced. Not super excited about that. But at the

118
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>same time, it's good to be in the shop. I

119
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>don't mind that I have to go in. I just

120
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like always, I don't like to happen

121
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>to do things on people's schedules, not even my own.

122
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 3>That's the ownership part. Hopefully you'll get them, get them

123
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.279
<v Speaker 3>replaced here pretty quick, Yeah, I think so.

124
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 2>So Yeah, So what's up with bows Man? Why is

125
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>he not on the air with us yet?

126
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 3>He had an event he had to go to. He's

127
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 3>just he and as we're talking, he just rolled in

128
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 3>about about five minutes ago. He'll be back up here

129
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 3>in just a few he said.

130
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 2>So he's been around for five minutes and he's not on. Okay, great.

131
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.439
<v Speaker 5>Now that Bobo has coverage, he's even more late than usual,

132
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 5>of course, of course. So what have you been up

133
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 5>to in the field, Bart, We haven't caught up in

134
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 5>a while. We caught up a little bit after the

135
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 5>book came out, But I'd love to hear what you've

136
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 5>been up to.

137
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, pretty exciting stuff. You know. I figured

138
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 3>out at fifty I'm going for it. You know, we

139
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 3>all have limited capacity or battery. I mean, I'm never

140
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 3>going to stop until it's done. But I decided, you

141
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 3>know what, I got to step it up. And I

142
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 3>think my wife so much ten percent of the year.

143
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually a Washington State resident. I'm up there quite

144
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 3>a bit and got my gang up there. But we

145
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 3>put together the Sasquatch Surveillance Project and started with Kurt Brandenburg,

146
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.279
<v Speaker 3>who's longtime Washington researcher and longtime friend. And then you

147
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 3>guys know Nathaniel Bronis and sharp son of a gun,

148
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, just brilliant tech and stuff I'm not good at.

149
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 3>He's just phenomenal at. And it's great and we've got

150
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.319
<v Speaker 3>we went ahead and brought in and Chris and Rebecca

151
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 3>Spencer just recently married and two great friends. And you

152
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 3>know what Chris has done audio, it's unbelievable, is catalog

153
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 3>and library. So we're kind of pulling everything to resources together.

154
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:18.560
<v Speaker 3>And we've got about eight thermal cameras out there right now.

155
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 3>What Nathaniel did, essentially in a nutshell, rewired them so

156
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 3>they're like trail cameras motion detection. They can go retrieve

157
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 3>the SD cards every couple of weeks. So no one,

158
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 3>as far as our knowledge, no one's really tried this yet.

159
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 3>There was a lot of trial and error they've got

160
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.360
<v Speaker 3>I'd say we're about maybe three to four months in

161
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 3>so far. No jackpot, but a lot of cool stuff,

162
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of great animals, you know, during nocturnal hours,

163
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 3>and you're seeing things that no one ever gets to

164
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 3>visually see because the circumstances, right, there's no light, there's

165
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 3>no nothing. They're just you know, in the wild. So

166
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:56.839
<v Speaker 3>some really cool stuff.

167
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 5>So does it start recording whenever there's like a differential

168
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 5>in the pixelization, like when anything hot shows up, no

169
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 5>matter how distant. Yep, Oh, that's awesome because then you're

170
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 5>not limited by the a passive IR sensor like you

171
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 5>have on a trail camera that's only really seeing like

172
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 5>thirty feet, and so you're you're basically watching as far

173
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 5>as the thermal eye can see. That's amazing. And no,

174
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 5>I don't think anyone's ever done that, because it must

175
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 5>have taken some modifications to make the unit capable of

176
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 5>doing something like that. So that's super cool.

177
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how the hell you do. I mean

178
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 3>that is to me, I mean to me, it's my

179
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:34.159
<v Speaker 3>weakest point. I thank God for them and just brilliant.

180
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.840
<v Speaker 3>Like I said, there's a lot of trial and everybody

181
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:40.799
<v Speaker 3>figured it out and becoming seamless. At this point, he's

182
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.720
<v Speaker 3>able to get the units together much cheaper as well.

183
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.200
<v Speaker 3>So we've got about eight fleer Bosons out there right now.

184
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to probably double that here in the New Year.

185
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:51.759
<v Speaker 5>You said it's called the fleer Boson.

186
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're fleer Bosons. They're you know, I'm used to now.

187
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 3>It's funny. I was a fleer guy back in the

188
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 3>day and then the last last I don't know, ten years,

189
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.759
<v Speaker 3>I've got four pulsars now, I mean that's my that's

190
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 3>my favorite. So they were kind of catching me up

191
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.399
<v Speaker 3>with these units. I think they came out after you know,

192
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 3>I had my old age series and all of that.

193
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, there's six forty five twelve res. Yeah, no,

194
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they're they're phenomenal. So they keep them stationary,

195
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.799
<v Speaker 3>keeping the bare boxes. Apparently he's tested doesn't give off MTh.

196
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how he does that, but apparently that's

197
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 3>the case. And the other think we've we've already had

198
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 3>though a couple of incidents is where you know, when

199
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 3>Bear found it, you know, at one point, but I

200
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>think it's just a matter of time. We're in for

201
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.840
<v Speaker 3>the long game. I'm not following around. If anything, I'm

202
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.080
<v Speaker 3>going to double it, triple it. It's just going to

203
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 3>get more intense from here. It's you know, we know

204
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 3>they're out there, and you guys always know That's always

205
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.679
<v Speaker 3>been my my personal goal. He's always been passionate pursuit.

206
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.519
<v Speaker 3>I want it done. I'm not here to play woods

207
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 3>and Wildman, and the sooner the better.

208
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:00.639
<v Speaker 5>So are these like handheld you units that are just

209
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 5>mounted in bare boxes.

210
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 3>No, they're the uh they're they're stationary units.

211
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 5>They're like like the old pathfinders.

212
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're like, yeah, exactly. I'll send you a couple

213
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 3>of pictures of the rig the setup. Uh. The he's

214
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.200
<v Speaker 3>got even the internal the bones of it, you know

215
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.279
<v Speaker 3>how how he's kind of rigged it underneath. And then

216
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.279
<v Speaker 3>also too, he's he's putting them in and uh, it's

217
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.240
<v Speaker 3>like an artist's job. You know, he's got them in

218
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 3>like you know, big logs and snags and it's just covered.

219
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.360
<v Speaker 3>You just barely see that, you know, little windows screen

220
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.480
<v Speaker 3>and all that's all that's you know, everything else is

221
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 3>completely concealed, and you know it's it's sort of what

222
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 3>picks up IR doesn't give it off like night vision,

223
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 3>and there shouldn't be technically, as far as we know,

224
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 3>any deterrence. But I think we're gonna have to do

225
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 3>some manipulations here probably quarterly. You know, we'll play around

226
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.080
<v Speaker 3>and uh, they have to just do some other things,

227
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, create subterfuge or whatever. But you know they

228
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.120
<v Speaker 3>walk by. You know, we got.

229
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 5>Them, so that's very cool. Now, have you had any encounters,

230
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.559
<v Speaker 5>any experiences of the last few years since we did

231
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 5>a deep dive and caught up because you know, you

232
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.240
<v Speaker 5>were one of the early guests on the podcast and

233
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 5>we talked about, you know, your thermal sightings and your

234
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 5>thermal footage and those things. But that was probably twenty

235
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 5>nineteen or maybe early twenty twenty, somewhere thereabouts, within the

236
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.519
<v Speaker 5>first year of us having the podcast. So anything that's

237
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 5>happened since then, the audience and myself would probably love

238
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:25.279
<v Speaker 5>to hear about.

239
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, I had not a ton I did

240
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.879
<v Speaker 3>have in twenty one. I had a very brief visual

241
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.639
<v Speaker 3>I was completely caught with my pants down. It was

242
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.679
<v Speaker 3>on one of my bart foot expeditions in in the

243
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 3>summer in Washington State the Southern Olympics, and first night

244
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:49.559
<v Speaker 3>getting there, and it was brief, but I saw enough

245
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:52.080
<v Speaker 3>of it, you know, as you guys know, having used

246
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.159
<v Speaker 3>these things, Cliff, you know, Bo, all of us, it's

247
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 3>we've used it so much we could discriminate what we see.

248
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's one of the keyest see into that

249
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 3>thermal world, you know. And uh, it was one of

250
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:08.960
<v Speaker 3>those instances where I got there that night and I

251
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 3>even just went for a one hour hike just to

252
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 3>get a lay of the land. I'd never been there,

253
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 3>and then just took a break to the third woman

254
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 3>d rat. You guys know, I never take the damn

255
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.240
<v Speaker 3>thing off my eye. And uh, you know, talking with

256
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:25.039
<v Speaker 3>everyone visiting and and Jonathan Brown actually was there, and

257
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 3>you said, uh, he said, you know, something's walking up

258
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.879
<v Speaker 3>the hill. And if I had a nickel for every

259
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.360
<v Speaker 3>time someone said that, right, it turns out to be nothing.

260
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.120
<v Speaker 3>But everyone kind of ran up and looked, and there

261
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.440
<v Speaker 3>was something running and I tad my throt my Thermalana,

262
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking and I'm just in shock. I someone I

263
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 3>thought it was a person running around the front of

264
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.559
<v Speaker 3>the truck that was back down the road. There was

265
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.879
<v Speaker 3>no one else pass there, and I just who's running?

266
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 3>It was so quick? Who's running front of the truck?

267
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 3>And I looked in as soon as that thing turned

268
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 3>it it was like you see, you know that it

269
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 3>was the size wise it was only like maybe five

270
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:06.320
<v Speaker 3>eleven two twenty five, but that shoulders and head that definitive,

271
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 3>no doubt, and cut through so quick went ripped up

272
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 3>a bend through the trees. There was a little window

273
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.759
<v Speaker 3>through the trees. That's where I really really knew where

274
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 3>it was because I could see from like you know,

275
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 3>stepping through with like the running through I should say,

276
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 3>with the thigh to the top of the head and

277
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.200
<v Speaker 3>the little tree branch bouncing as it just ran uphill.

278
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.519
<v Speaker 3>And by the time I got it recording, it's me

279
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.759
<v Speaker 3>trying to you know, compensate and catch it, get ahead

280
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.080
<v Speaker 3>of it going uphill. So I missed it by a second,

281
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 3>but totally got caught with my pants down. It was,

282
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:38.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was awesome. We had we had a

283
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 3>lot of other stuff happened during the expedition, but you

284
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.080
<v Speaker 3>could see where, you know, it divvied that foot and

285
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.720
<v Speaker 3>just ripped in through that. I mean, I'd never seen

286
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.759
<v Speaker 3>one run or move like that, and it was it

287
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.159
<v Speaker 3>was just like wow. It was just another kind of

288
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 3>reminder we are where we are why, So that was cool.

289
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.799
<v Speaker 3>Both of times I had bo and I think we

290
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 3>got surrounded by Knox one time since I've talked to you.

291
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.159
<v Speaker 3>And then I had a long expedition coming back from

292
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Washington last well September going into early October. I didn't know.

293
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:18.679
<v Speaker 3>It was kind of uneventful. We hit a couple different

294
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.639
<v Speaker 3>places in Washington, had the Barfoot expedition with the Browns,

295
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.519
<v Speaker 3>and coming back in Norical, I stopped. We actually got

296
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Cliff for one night. I didn't even know he's going

297
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 3>to be in town. We hadn't had a chance to

298
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.480
<v Speaker 3>communicate yet before. I usually see him on the way up.

299
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.960
<v Speaker 3>And Bou joined us too for a couple hours. But

300
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 3>that's you know. Second night, I was Arizona with Leiderman

301
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.039
<v Speaker 3>and Cliff was there. Cliff had just gone out maybe

302
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.120
<v Speaker 3>half hour before, and I had grabbed I had a

303
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.440
<v Speaker 3>little epiphany when I was in Washington State. We were

304
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:53.679
<v Speaker 3>over by Rimrock Lake and I'm in the river bed,

305
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 3>and I happened to clack those rocks together, and there

306
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.559
<v Speaker 3>are more of those colonial graphite like those hollow and

307
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.000
<v Speaker 3>those rocks versus the regular sediment rocks that you're going

308
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:10.159
<v Speaker 3>to get in the forest amplifies like three to four times.

309
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 3>It's like throw on a speaker as far as like clacking.

310
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.360
<v Speaker 3>So I took these rocks with me. The other thing

311
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.360
<v Speaker 3>that was interesting is even if they're cold to the touch,

312
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.519
<v Speaker 3>the rocks stay warm when you look at them through

313
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.559
<v Speaker 3>a thermal And thinking back towards my footage and what

314
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 3>type of rocks maybe we're thrown in it, and anyways,

315
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.919
<v Speaker 3>I take these rocks back. I clacked them about a

316
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:34.440
<v Speaker 3>half hour after Cliff and went down and about a

317
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 3>minute half later not even got a full like twenty

318
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:47.039
<v Speaker 3>nine second sequence of clack, like very almost rhythmic. It

319
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 3>was jaw dropping. I couldn't believe it, And especially where

320
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.639
<v Speaker 3>we were where there's a history there Cliff and boded.

321
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:58.679
<v Speaker 3>Stuff happened before there years ago. But it was it

322
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.159
<v Speaker 3>was it was epic. I mean just totally took me

323
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.720
<v Speaker 3>by surprise. And it was something too. I was mimicking

324
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.039
<v Speaker 3>it to Cliff when he got up, and I don't

325
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.399
<v Speaker 3>know if it's something where it almost felt like the

326
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 3>cadence was like, oh you could do that. Let me

327
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:17.559
<v Speaker 3>show you what I could do. Or it's something that

328
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.360
<v Speaker 3>maybe means something had him fooled for a second and

329
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 3>it's something we can exploit and maybe buy a check it,

330
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, if you will. So anyways, that was that

331
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.000
<v Speaker 3>was pretty cool. But other than that, pretty quiet. You know,

332
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.519
<v Speaker 3>we've recorded our stuff, you know, sounds here and there,

333
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.120
<v Speaker 3>but you know, nothing to get excited about him trying

334
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.720
<v Speaker 3>to I want to get the ball moved downfield, of course.

335
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Very cool. Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with

336
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Cliff and Bogo. We'll be right back after these messages.

337
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.600
<v Speaker 2>It seems most most of our research time has been

338
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:01.200
<v Speaker 2>spent up in Washington the last couple of years, or

339
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 2>north northern California to Washington, you know during the summer.

340
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I know you take a long two week or three

341
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.839
<v Speaker 2>week trip up there every year, and of course you

342
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.519
<v Speaker 2>do this thing this weekend with Bobo. Have you been

343
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.559
<v Speaker 2>spending time locally in the central California area because you

344
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.440
<v Speaker 2>live in Monterey, of course, and you have the you know,

345
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:18.240
<v Speaker 2>the big Surre area to south of you, and there

346
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Santa Cruz just north of you, and the Sierra is

347
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 2>just east of you. Have you done anything out there

348
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:23.400
<v Speaker 2>in the last few years.

349
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:24.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, no, great question.

350
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.640
<v Speaker 3>I've actually been still been doing the Sierras intermittently, so

351
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I'll do two sections. I went back to the Sierra

352
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.960
<v Speaker 3>site in August to film with Eli for upcoming show

353
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:38.799
<v Speaker 3>coming up here in the early part of the year.

354
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 3>But I've been spending a lot of time in this

355
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.519
<v Speaker 3>central Sierras, you know, with Strawberry Twain Hart area over

356
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:49.200
<v Speaker 3>there with Tony Ruan was one of my field partners.

357
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Great guy, retired guy. He had saw one in the

358
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:58.039
<v Speaker 3>engineer saw one in Sycamore Canyon in Arizona, I think

359
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 3>about ten years ago, and that's really would you know,

360
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:06.000
<v Speaker 3>got him into it and great guy. He's also recently

361
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.400
<v Speaker 3>he was the first guy I think to go back

362
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.279
<v Speaker 3>in a long time as far as bigfooters to the

363
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.279
<v Speaker 3>Sierra Sound site. He kind of figured it out through

364
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, pictures that were left and whatnot, and so

365
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:19.319
<v Speaker 3>he made it all the way to the site, took

366
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.839
<v Speaker 3>all the comparison pictures. It's actually awesome. I kind of

367
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.319
<v Speaker 3>went underneath the radar. He's he's a big information share

368
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 3>type of guy. I mean, just awesome guy. So I'm

369
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:30.559
<v Speaker 3>going to be spending a lot more time there. You know,

370
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.960
<v Speaker 3>it's only three and a half four hours. It's convenient.

371
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.160
<v Speaker 3>It'd be a it would be a great ideal place

372
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.480
<v Speaker 3>to get footage. I mean, because you do have you

373
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.000
<v Speaker 3>know a little better tree separation. I mean, the Sierra

374
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:44.160
<v Speaker 3>is just ideal, you know, if you can get them there.

375
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.079
<v Speaker 3>So anyways, yeah, we're in to you know, June, July,

376
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 3>and August, do a lot of weekends over there. And

377
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 3>God bless my wife. I mean she knows. I mean

378
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 3>that's this is my last goal you know in life,

379
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.160
<v Speaker 3>is to you know, got them once. It wasn't good enough,

380
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:01.480
<v Speaker 3>but I want to just have that one time to

381
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.799
<v Speaker 3>uh five minutes to slam the ball and the goal

382
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:07.480
<v Speaker 3>line and then the death start happening in life as

383
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 3>we get older, right, I mean the roller coaster of life.

384
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.559
<v Speaker 3>But this is uh, I want to make a big

385
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.279
<v Speaker 3>push and get try to get this thing done.

386
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, you did say a couple of minutes ago, and

387
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm quoting you, you're going to do this quote until

388
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:20.480
<v Speaker 2>it's done. Do you really think you're going to stop?

389
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh you mean post.

390
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:23.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

391
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, like say Darby and those guys get it

392
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.400
<v Speaker 2>done this year. You know, then it's a done deal, period,

393
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 2>no question anymore. The professionals take over, the anthropologists or primatologists,

394
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.119
<v Speaker 2>they're in there doing stuff. All of us are kind

395
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.680
<v Speaker 2>of kicked to the curve and we're just watching the

396
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Discovery Channel, you know, documentaries on them. Now, you know,

397
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.839
<v Speaker 2>are you still gonna Are you said you're going to

398
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 2>do it till it's done? Does that mean you stop

399
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:45.799
<v Speaker 2>doing it?

400
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:49.599
<v Speaker 3>That's a great question. Actually no, absolutely not. I would

401
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.359
<v Speaker 3>keep doing it. But I think what would change is

402
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.960
<v Speaker 3>just that underlying See, guys, that's mine as you guys know,

403
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's my big intangible is the attention, you know,

404
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:04.039
<v Speaker 3>And it's I think it would it's it's always because

405
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I've seen when I've had my visuals, I saw how

406
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.759
<v Speaker 3>easily I could have missed them and probably have, And

407
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 3>so that price of attention it would probably come down.

408
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.519
<v Speaker 3>I'd actually be a little more relaxed and you know,

409
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:20.319
<v Speaker 3>probably enjoyable the pressures off where I fill out there.

410
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:22.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not a business to me. I've always separated business

411
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.680
<v Speaker 3>from my passion, but it's it is a business in

412
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.319
<v Speaker 3>the sense that I know how hard it is to

413
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.640
<v Speaker 3>see these things. I've seen them and I don't know

414
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:33.279
<v Speaker 3>if I'll ever see one again. I'm going to give

415
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 3>myself every opportunity, But I think posts there would just

416
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.000
<v Speaker 3>be that, you know, a little more of a I

417
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:44.119
<v Speaker 3>could let loose a little bit, you know what I mean,

418
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:46.960
<v Speaker 3>instead of constantly feeling like I got to be aware.

419
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I kind of wonder if it's going to be even

420
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:51.880
<v Speaker 2>legal to do what we do, calling and knocking on

421
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:54.880
<v Speaker 2>trees and stuff like, you know whatever, that nighttime stuff.

422
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.680
<v Speaker 2>If you still do that, Like is that even going

423
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:58.599
<v Speaker 2>to be legal or is that going to be considered

424
00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:01.599
<v Speaker 2>harassment of wildlife or an impossible endangered species?

425
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:04.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, that would be well, we got we got

426
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.240
<v Speaker 3>mister Bobo joining us here. But yeah, I know it's

427
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 3>a great question. I've thought about that before. I think

428
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:11.359
<v Speaker 3>you're absolutely right. It would be it would be arassed,

429
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.680
<v Speaker 3>but there would be no way there allow it.

430
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, this is kind of an interesting question. There's

431
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot the lot, a lot of unknowns out there

432
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:20.400
<v Speaker 2>besides just the animals themselves, Like what will happen, like

433
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 2>what will it look like post recognition? I think, you know,

434
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:25.319
<v Speaker 2>and what do.

435
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.119
<v Speaker 3>You do about just it's a continent wide distribution, It's

436
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:33.039
<v Speaker 3>not like, it's just these you know, immediate geographical you know,

437
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.279
<v Speaker 3>little pockets. I mean it's like, where do you you know,

438
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.519
<v Speaker 3>I think that's always been what you said, it's habitaty.

439
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:41.400
<v Speaker 3>How does that all work?

440
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:43.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean, yeah, I think you it would start with

441
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.759
<v Speaker 5>wherever the discovery is confirmed, and it will move into

442
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.039
<v Speaker 5>minimal necessary increments to allow for that discovery. You know,

443
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:53.880
<v Speaker 5>that's a debate I've had with a few of my

444
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 5>sasquatch researcher friends who think that, oh, well, if you

445
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.920
<v Speaker 5>prove that they exist, you'll get nationwide recognition. And it's like,

446
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:04.079
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so. I think if you if a

447
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:06.880
<v Speaker 5>specimen were collected in Florida, they're not going to preserve

448
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:11.319
<v Speaker 5>habitat and enact legislation in Washington. You know, I think

449
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:13.960
<v Speaker 5>there would still be a host of challenges and fun

450
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.200
<v Speaker 5>things ahead that citizen science could achieve. That would be

451
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.039
<v Speaker 5>whether it's detecting populations via e DNA. Once you have

452
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:23.880
<v Speaker 5>a fully sequenced genome from a specimen, Okay, well, now

453
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.599
<v Speaker 5>we're going to look for this signature in the Cascades

454
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.720
<v Speaker 5>and the Sierras and the Rockies and the Olympics and

455
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.200
<v Speaker 5>on and on and on. And then in terms of

456
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.200
<v Speaker 5>what you're trying to do with getting footage, like well,

457
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.319
<v Speaker 5>just proving that they exist via DNA, people would still

458
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.440
<v Speaker 5>be desperate to know what they look like and how

459
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:40.960
<v Speaker 5>they move and how they interact with each other or

460
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:43.920
<v Speaker 5>the environment, and so all those things will still take

461
00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:48.519
<v Speaker 5>many decades to accomplish and achieve. And you know, it

462
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.079
<v Speaker 5>might become illegal to harass them, but it won't become

463
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.680
<v Speaker 5>illegal to be in their habitat with a camera or

464
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.240
<v Speaker 5>a thermal, you know, right, and.

465
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:57.880
<v Speaker 3>All that stuff. You'd make a great point. I mean,

466
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:01.000
<v Speaker 3>all that stuff would flesh out and time, you know,

467
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:01.799
<v Speaker 3>over time.

468
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I just hope I can to have a part of

469
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:04.720
<v Speaker 2>it all. I mean, I don't I don't really mean

470
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:06.680
<v Speaker 2>discovery whatever. I know they're real. I don't care about

471
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.039
<v Speaker 2>discovery so to speak, or recognition necessarily, But I just

472
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.640
<v Speaker 2>want to learn about them. And I see recognition of

473
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:15.640
<v Speaker 2>the species as the door that needs to open for

474
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 2>us to learn more. Obviously, because you can, I can

475
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:20.119
<v Speaker 2>only get so far doing what I'm doing here. But

476
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, once we have the genome, and once we

477
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 2>know these things are out there, like everybody knows they're

478
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.559
<v Speaker 2>out there, it's not a secret anymore. Basically, I still

479
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.920
<v Speaker 2>want to go out and collect footprint stuff, and I

480
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:32.799
<v Speaker 2>want to get some e DNA from footprint. I want

481
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:34.839
<v Speaker 2>to learn about the big foots that we have here

482
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.720
<v Speaker 2>in my neck of the woods. Those are the ones

483
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.319
<v Speaker 2>I care about. You know nothing against anyone's bigfoots wherever

484
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:43.720
<v Speaker 2>you are in Virginia or Florida or wherever else. But man,

485
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:45.839
<v Speaker 2>the ones that are here are the ones that I've

486
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:47.400
<v Speaker 2>been dealing with for a couple of years now, and

487
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:49.000
<v Speaker 2>those are the ones I want to know the most about.

488
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.240
<v Speaker 6>It's pretty small minded, cleve.

489
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:51.759
<v Speaker 5>I know.

490
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.920
<v Speaker 2>You know me man, For such a big head, I've

491
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:54.960
<v Speaker 2>got a pretty small mind.

492
00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:59.240
<v Speaker 6>I care about all the squatches.

493
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's only so many hours in the day, man,

494
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:06.880
<v Speaker 2>only so many miles left on my vehicle.

495
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:09.319
<v Speaker 6>You'll you'll always have a spot now.

496
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:12.480
<v Speaker 7>I mean your mother's you know, protege, like he's the

497
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:14.880
<v Speaker 7>top scientist. So I mean you'll always be You'll always

498
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.759
<v Speaker 7>be in there, and you've contributed a lot. You're still

499
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:19.119
<v Speaker 7>going to contribute a lot, so you'll be they'll be

500
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:20.880
<v Speaker 7>calling you that. I mean, they're not gonna call me,

501
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:21.680
<v Speaker 7>they'll call you.

502
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, hopefully with the institution behind me, the NABC.

503
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:28.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, I can continue being a small part of

504
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:30.839
<v Speaker 2>the team that's putting this puzzle together. It seems like

505
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:32.480
<v Speaker 2>a good way to spend the last thirty years of

506
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:34.680
<v Speaker 2>my life if I eat, if I have even that long.

507
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:36.119
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see.

508
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 6>I just hope and recognize my contributions as an eventure

509
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:41.039
<v Speaker 6>of the Sasquat Stop Dance.

510
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:43.480
<v Speaker 2>That's you.

511
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:45.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, a great graduation.

512
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Were you a pigeon yet?

513
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:50.920
<v Speaker 6>No, the pigeons weren't well in hard I was, but

514
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.039
<v Speaker 6>we weren't a real gang until eighty three.

515
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:57.720
<v Speaker 2>He was a proto pigeon, a proto pigeon, So.

516
00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:59.880
<v Speaker 6>I wasn't a pigeon yet, but I was an egg

517
00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:00.559
<v Speaker 6>and spirit.

518
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 5>You're waiting to hatch?

519
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, unknowingly.

520
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 3>I never can do that.

521
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 2>Wait, so Bobo, wait, can you roll your r's, like

522
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:16.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're speaking Spanish or something, can you roll your rs?

523
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

524
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:24.440
<v Speaker 6>Can you do that? Bart can't do it?

525
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you don't have the gene. No, Well, Bob's welcome

526
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 2>to the podcast. By the way, how are you doing,

527
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:32.480
<v Speaker 2>my friend? Anything good going on? Bobs? You've been to

528
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the woods or anything? And anything cool going on?

529
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:36.720
<v Speaker 7>Uh? I went out with Bart last night. I got

530
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:38.720
<v Speaker 7>out a couple of times last week, I got once

531
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:42.200
<v Speaker 7>older this week. Nothing going on, but I've been feeling

532
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:43.799
<v Speaker 7>the vibe like something's gonna happen again.

533
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Are you up in the red Woods orre out of

534
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Bluff or where were you just so? The road wads

535
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.279
<v Speaker 2>on the coast Bluss probably probably snowed in right now,

536
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 2>isn't it.

537
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:52.319
<v Speaker 6>Where are you gonna check it out?

538
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you might as well.

539
00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:57.359
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, we're gonna go how far we can get. Those

540
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:00.119
<v Speaker 7>other guys, Uh, Doug and Todd have some stuff up

541
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.400
<v Speaker 7>and again down lower, like a few miles up the road,

542
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:04.240
<v Speaker 7>So we're gonna.

543
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Go check that out.

544
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.440
<v Speaker 7>Gus Todd's out there this weekend. He went out there

545
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.240
<v Speaker 7>last night, so he's out there. So we're gonna check

546
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:13.079
<v Speaker 7>it out probably tomorrow or to night or something.

<v Speaker 2>it's twenty you guys are twenty years in on this now.

549
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:21.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

550
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's that's nuts.

551
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:25.400
<v Speaker 6>I've only made one bet so far this whole weekend.

552
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:27.160
<v Speaker 3>He's doing good.

553
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:29.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the other part about this big weekend with you guys.

554
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:31.599
<v Speaker 2>Sure you guys go out big footing and hang out

555
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:33.160
<v Speaker 2>and have bro time and stuff. But it's also all

556
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:34.279
<v Speaker 2>about football, isn't it.

557
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:39.839
<v Speaker 3>Yep, absolutely, I love it. It's always been. That's always

558
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 3>been one of my other just crutches.

559
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I just love.

560
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I love decompressing on the Sundays and watching football.

561
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:49.559
<v Speaker 6>I love watching Bart bett and gamble and yell and

562
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:50.400
<v Speaker 6>scream at the TV.

563
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:53.359
<v Speaker 2>It makes you feel not so alone.

564
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:57.319
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, he puts action on every single game.

565
00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.119
<v Speaker 6>He's got action on some part of it. So it's

566
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.960
<v Speaker 6>like game he's going, oh man, like.

567
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:05.960
<v Speaker 7>Like you know, the whales of lament to the victorious,

568
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:07.359
<v Speaker 7>joyous yells of victory.

569
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 5>Bart We had a we had a previous guest on

570
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:12.960
<v Speaker 5>and I'll spare them the embarrassment, but I'll tell you

571
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:15.799
<v Speaker 5>off the record who it was and when we when

572
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.359
<v Speaker 5>we started the podcast, we hit record and Bobo was like, hey,

573
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:19.839
<v Speaker 5>I got a lot of money on this game, so

574
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:22.279
<v Speaker 5>I can't turn it off. And so the whole time

575
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:24.160
<v Speaker 5>the guest was talking. Every once in a while in

576
00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:32.039
<v Speaker 5>the background, you'd hear Bobo go. So I left them

577
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.839
<v Speaker 5>all in there because they're they're just so hilarious, dude,

578
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:38.559
<v Speaker 5>They're so funny to hear, like him talking and Bobo going.

579
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Ooh yeah for me for the interception, No, I love it.

580
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.519
<v Speaker 5>Put on the chimp screams will be out in full force.

581
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh. So yeah. So it's uh we have Bart, Bobo,

582
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Cliff Matt, and several football games is going on all

583
00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:02.200
<v Speaker 2>during the same podcast.

584
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:04.480
<v Speaker 6>Sorry, sorry, that's all right.

585
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:06.400
<v Speaker 2>It's a small price to pay to having a podcast

586
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:07.960
<v Speaker 2>right now, you know, And I think our listeners will

587
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.920
<v Speaker 2>probably agree with that. It's at least at least he

588
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 2>got us.

589
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:12.240
<v Speaker 5>Do you guys bet against each other?

590
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it's a good question, dude.

591
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 6>H we will tomorrow, Yeah, we'll do it, yeah tomorrow.

592
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:20.839
<v Speaker 6>I was gonna say that I was just an h

593
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:24.400
<v Speaker 6>MP's ladies funeral or memorial just now.

594
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:25.519

<v Speaker 7>doing the conferences.

702
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:05.519
<v Speaker 5>I was at McKay's bookstore in Knoxville yesterday and I

703
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:07.759
<v Speaker 5>was telling Emily, like, yeah, the last time I was here,

704

<v Speaker 5>book and bought it used and then signed that one

706

<v Speaker 5>copy and headed a his merch table at the event

00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:18.920
<v Speaker 5>in gallen Burg. He's a businessman.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I made twenty three dollars on that deal.

709
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:23.279
<v Speaker 5>It was a good deal.

710
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:25.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that was a good That was a great stop.

711
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:27.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm a genius.

712
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:29.759
<v Speaker 5>Do you guys have specific plans anything you're going to

713
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 5>try to accomplish during these next few nights of outing

714
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:35.119
<v Speaker 5>and celebrating twenty years of squatching.

715
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm kind of interested in your specific techniques of

716
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:40.480
<v Speaker 2>what you're doing out there in the woods.

717
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:41.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, the.

718
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:45.039
<v Speaker 6>Usual barton his rock knocks. Last night we just sat,

719
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:46.920
<v Speaker 6>which are that same spot?

720
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:49.640
<v Speaker 7>Just we sit and then when do we have like

721
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.160
<v Speaker 7>a twenty percent success right or something twenty five percent?

722
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:55.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's times of years, but then it's yeah.

723
00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:57.200
<v Speaker 6>And I've gotten stuff in between.

724
00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.759
<v Speaker 7>So I'm hoping, well, last time I was out there

725
00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:02.319
<v Speaker 7>was well, not last time, but one of the last

726
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.480
<v Speaker 7>times I was out there was with our buddy from

727
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:07.599
<v Speaker 7>Pennsylvania that came out and we left, and then when

728
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:09.440
<v Speaker 7>he went and got a recorder the next morning, there

729
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:11.800
<v Speaker 7>were knocks. There was knocks that came up around the

730
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:14.159
<v Speaker 7>you hear the knocks come close to where the recorder was,

731
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.320
<v Speaker 7>and then you didn't hear him walk up or anything.

732
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:18.760
<v Speaker 7>But you heard the last knock real close to the

733
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:21.440
<v Speaker 7>recorder and that was it. But so they gave us

734
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:23.519
<v Speaker 7>no indication of being there, but they were there, and

735
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:26.679
<v Speaker 7>we didn't know until we left, you know. Thll I

736
00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:28.599
<v Speaker 7>think it was twenty minutes after we left we started

737
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:32.360
<v Speaker 7>hearing the knox on the on the recorder. Yeah, so

738
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:34.840
<v Speaker 7>they're around to announce themselves all the time, you know,

739
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 7>so we're hoping to catch them going and the old

740
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.159
<v Speaker 7>girl sections were hoping to going to go in between

741
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:40.519
<v Speaker 7>trees or there's big gaps.

742
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:43.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got, like I said, the tripod the thermal.

743
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:44.760
<v Speaker 3>What I've been doing different now this day is I

744
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.360
<v Speaker 3>used to I always had the one around my neck

745
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:50.280
<v Speaker 3>manually that I basically sleep with that thing. But then

746
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:53.239
<v Speaker 3>I tripod the others, you know overnight. Well now I'm

747
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:57.760
<v Speaker 3>trypodding them, you know, behind me on trails whatever, just

748
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.360
<v Speaker 3>coming back retrieving them, pulling the footage. Could do it

749
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.360
<v Speaker 3>on the on the stream vision app now and uh,

750
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:09.239
<v Speaker 3>it's interesting, just a lot more animals, you know, like

751
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:12.039
<v Speaker 3>you could just have nothing you know, no animals present

752
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.599
<v Speaker 3>that you see or you know, hear feels like, you know,

753
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.400
<v Speaker 3>take off for an hour film and sure enough, you know,

754
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:21.440
<v Speaker 3>something comes through, Bobcat runs through or whatever. You know,

755
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.480
<v Speaker 3>deer comes through. So I'm doing more of that and

756
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:27.440
<v Speaker 3>we're kind of facing uphill in the tree gaps. Yeah,

757
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:29.280
<v Speaker 3>that type of thing. We're doing a little bit differently,

758
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:32.320
<v Speaker 3>and and uh, we'll probably create He'll do, He'll do,

759
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:34.960
<v Speaker 3>probably do some driving, and I'll be doing a lot

760
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.719
<v Speaker 3>of therming. I mean, we're not going you know, we

761
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:39.800
<v Speaker 3>might do a couple overnights. We'll see, we're gonna play

762
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:44.119
<v Speaker 3>my air there we are, Oh, I'm in music. Music

763
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:45.079
<v Speaker 3>to my ears.

764
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:50.239
<v Speaker 6>Crews come back tomorrow. So we'll heat out look at

765
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:50.880
<v Speaker 6>all those.

766
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:54.840
<v Speaker 7>Nights yelling and screen of the TV over the weekend

767
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:58.719
<v Speaker 7>and go out and get out there overnight. And these

768
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:02.480
<v Speaker 7>guys httle satellite So we got that. We got his

769
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:05.840
<v Speaker 7>pizza and all that stuff. So we're setting up on

770
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:08.760
<v Speaker 7>a put a little pop ups up and have satellite

771
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:10.920
<v Speaker 7>TV and the squatching.

772
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:13.199
<v Speaker 6>Dirt you know, just in between. Uh, I mean you

773
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.679
<v Speaker 6>can set up there and watch football and squash at

774
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:16.280
<v Speaker 6>the same time.

775
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:19.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's rough. In it. I was gonna say, if

776
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:21.360
<v Speaker 5>you had the starlink thing, you could just like pipe

777
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:24.159
<v Speaker 5>the football to like one handheld unit, hold it in

778
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:26.159
<v Speaker 5>one eye, and then have the thermal up to the

779
00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:27.840
<v Speaker 5>other eye. Just keep walking around.

780
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:30.239
<v Speaker 3>That's so true.

781
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:33.159
<v Speaker 6>Goggles off of it's eyes different.

782
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:34.400
<v Speaker 5>But exactly.

783
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.920
<v Speaker 3>I love the multitasking. I love them just being up

784
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.599
<v Speaker 3>here like this. One's more of like, you know, we're

785
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:41.559
<v Speaker 3>just doing our things we love to do together, and

786
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:45.039
<v Speaker 3>but you always mix in the squatching. But you know,

787
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:46.840
<v Speaker 3>we've had a lot of good things happened over the

788
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:49.840
<v Speaker 3>years on these trips, this time of year, especially you know,

789
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:50.440
<v Speaker 3>on the coast.

790
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:54.119
<v Speaker 5>So since we're talking about a twenty year anniversary, did

791
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:57.119
<v Speaker 5>you guys meet on a BFRO expedition.

792
00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:58.599
<v Speaker 6>Or first one? Yeah?

793
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:02.159
<v Speaker 3>Oh four, And then I met Cliff. It was exactly

794
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:04.639
<v Speaker 3>a year later. I met Cliff with BO. I was

795
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.920
<v Speaker 3>out with Bo in the same area. Yeah, I talked

796
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.559
<v Speaker 3>about it. I think I just lucked out, you know,

797
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:12.480
<v Speaker 3>once getting those invisible handcuffs off at twenty nine and

798
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:15.760
<v Speaker 3>jumping in and going on the first one. I mean, Jesus,

799
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:18.679
<v Speaker 3>first person I talked to you literally was Bob Gimlin.

800
00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:21.880
<v Speaker 3>I was just like, yeah, I know, it was pretty cool.

801
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:26.000
<v Speaker 6>He brought his cousin, you know, his cousin. He had

802
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:27.800
<v Speaker 6>a peace on. He brought a nine mill tucked at

803
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:29.440
<v Speaker 6>his waistbag just in case you never know.

804
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Jason kme. We lived together at Fresent's feet. It

805
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:35.440
<v Speaker 3>was great. He had a blast. That was a good time.

806
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.559
<v Speaker 6>This wear like a tracksuit, like looked like John Gotti

807
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:39.119
<v Speaker 6>or something.

808
00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:44.880
<v Speaker 5>So what were your first impressions of Bobo. I'm sure

809
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.920
<v Speaker 5>the listeners want to know. Bobo's very beloved and celebrated.

810
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 6>Here all to your big g God bart.

811
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:51.880
<v Speaker 2>No.

812
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:56.280
<v Speaker 3>I actually thought he was hilarious. Love the guy right away,

813
00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:59.719
<v Speaker 3>be honest with you. I can't even joke about it.

814
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:01.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was, it was. It was great and

815
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:06.320
<v Speaker 3>he and God bless him. He I was. I was

816
00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:09.559
<v Speaker 3>afraid of my own shadow at night the first time

817
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:11.639
<v Speaker 3>getting out, and I was like, you know what, no,

818
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:13.440
<v Speaker 3>if I'm going to do this, that's the first thing

819
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.079
<v Speaker 3>that's got to be shed. And that was that was

820
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:19.519
<v Speaker 3>the person who helped get that standard shed it very quickly.

821
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:23.039
<v Speaker 3>Now it's you know, been creatured the night. I wouldn't

822
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:25.760
<v Speaker 3>have any of the way but that he was instrumental

823
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:28.679
<v Speaker 3>in that a lot of other things, but no great,

824
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:33.880
<v Speaker 3>great first impression. I thought he's hilarious. My cousin loved

825
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:36.800
<v Speaker 3>him too, But uh yeah, we stayed in touch and

826
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:39.679
<v Speaker 3>then I think you came down to Santa Cruz, I think,

827
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:42.679
<v Speaker 3>and then you know, right off the bat, I mean

828
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:45.840
<v Speaker 3>just we all kind of became friend. Moneymaker was down

829
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:48.400
<v Speaker 3>visiting Monterey, you know, within a couple of months, and

830
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:50.239
<v Speaker 3>then there was a lot of connection. I had to

831
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:54.159
<v Speaker 3>just being back home. Uh you know Ron moorehead like

832
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker 3>he's you know, Ronda. I think got married at our restaurant,

833
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:00.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, starting factory back in the day. John fred

834
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:04.280
<v Speaker 3>is still great friend. He worked in Monterey County. He

835
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.079
<v Speaker 3>already knew you know, knew my family there. So it

836
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.280
<v Speaker 3>was just like I felt comfortable right away, you know

837
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:11.119
<v Speaker 3>with everybody. And then you know a lot of years

838
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:13.079
<v Speaker 3>going out together. There's a lot of a lot of

839
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:13.719
<v Speaker 3>special time.

840
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:16.639
<v Speaker 5>Sounds like you won the Bigfoot lottery, you know, because

841
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:19.639
<v Speaker 5>there are it was probably a little different, you know,

842
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:21.679
<v Speaker 5>I know it was at least for me twenty something

843
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 5>years ago, where it was such a it was a

844
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:26.639
<v Speaker 5>much smaller pool. But I venture a guess that there's

845
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:29.320
<v Speaker 5>still probably the same percentage of like people who don't

846
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:31.840
<v Speaker 5>conduct themselves very well in the subject, you know what

847
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:34.880
<v Speaker 5>I mean. And so the odds of meeting people that

848
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:36.639
<v Speaker 5>you hit it off with that you would want to

849
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:39.320
<v Speaker 5>hang out with anyway, those are pretty low. So that's

850
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:41.519
<v Speaker 5>you definitely got a winning ticket there.

851
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I definitely definitely did. It was it was kind

852
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:47.840
<v Speaker 3>of it was kind of something meant to be. It

853
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:50.599
<v Speaker 3>felt like, you know, and you know, and I had

854
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:52.559
<v Speaker 3>to learn. I was very raw, you know. So I

855
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.119
<v Speaker 3>I really have learned last twenty years like a sponge.

856
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:57.960
<v Speaker 3>I've just learned everything backwards. I fished a lot, but

857
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:00.239
<v Speaker 3>I was never a hunter never, you know. So I've

858
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:03.760
<v Speaker 3>learned everything I can from everyone I can, at least

859
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:06.760
<v Speaker 3>enough to be dangerous in all areas. And what I

860
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:08.840
<v Speaker 3>love about our field than all the friendships too, is

861
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:11.559
<v Speaker 3>just everyone who specialized in you know, you got to

862
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:13.960
<v Speaker 3>track ish, you know boom. I got Cliff immediately, I

863
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:16.840
<v Speaker 3>got Audio, I've got Chris Spencer, and I got David

864
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:19.519
<v Speaker 3>Ellis immediately, you know what I mean. It's everyone's got

865
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.719
<v Speaker 3>their niche mine mine is the thermal and never taking

866
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:27.760
<v Speaker 3>the thing off my eye. But everyone's got something to contribute.

867
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.199
<v Speaker 3>That's kind of their wheelhouse, per se. I love that

868
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:34.599
<v Speaker 3>and the friendships and relying on each other and it's great.

869
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:37.639
<v Speaker 5>Oh absolutely Yeah. Cliff and I were having a conversation

870
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:41.320
<v Speaker 5>the other day about just the current state of Sasquatchry,

871
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:43.440
<v Speaker 5>and I was kind of mentioning that, you know, I

872
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:45.639
<v Speaker 5>think a lot of people get into this and they

873
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:49.480
<v Speaker 5>they're pretty convinced that they're fairly dedicated, because I think

874
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:51.280
<v Speaker 5>people look at the subject and they see a lot

875
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:53.199
<v Speaker 5>of bad actors and they think like, oh, well, these

876
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:55.840
<v Speaker 5>people are faking being dedicated, and it's like, no, No, I

877
00:40:55.880 --> 00:40:57.599
<v Speaker 5>think a lot of these people think they are, but

878
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:01.320
<v Speaker 5>they just haven't run up into tough times yet or

879
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:05.039
<v Speaker 5>frustrations or all that. And so the only true measure

880
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:09.159
<v Speaker 5>of dedication is time. And they're such a small handful

881
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:10.960
<v Speaker 5>of people that I could think of that I know

882
00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:13.760
<v Speaker 5>who have been involved as long as you guys have,

883
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:17.119
<v Speaker 5>you know, twenty plus years, twenty five, thirty years, you know,

884
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:20.760
<v Speaker 5>in Cliffs case, in Bobo's case. But to see those people,

885
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.639
<v Speaker 5>and the great thing about that cohort of people is

886
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:24.440
<v Speaker 5>they're all friends.

887
00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:24.800
<v Speaker 3>You know.

888
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:28.280
<v Speaker 5>It's like everyone who's been around for that long. You know,

889
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:30.559
<v Speaker 5>all know and like and respect each other and work

890
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:34.039
<v Speaker 5>well together, and so there's really a lot to be

891
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:37.159
<v Speaker 5>said for that of like, you know, whenever people say, oh,

892
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.039
<v Speaker 5>just so and so, are they serious? Are they dedicated?

893
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:42.239
<v Speaker 5>Do they really believe? It's like, well, they've been at

894
00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:45.639
<v Speaker 5>it hardcore for twenty something years. Do the math, you know,

977
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:39.679
<v Speaker 2>completely ignorant about most of these things that you guys

978
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:43.199
<v Speaker 2>are talking about. Have the Blue Jays ever won the Pennant?

<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

980
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:45.760
<v Speaker 3>They went well. They won the World Series back to

981
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:47.719
<v Speaker 3>back when I was just out of high school. It

982
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:52.679
<v Speaker 3>was awesome ninety three and it was funny because back home,

983
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:55.320
<v Speaker 3>you everyone's you know, especially a Giants, a lot of

984
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:58.840
<v Speaker 3>as fans too, obviously, but it was I remember one

985
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:00.800
<v Speaker 3>of them was like a Tuesday night and it's I'm

986
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:03.199
<v Speaker 3>out just celebrating and no one gave that they were

987
00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:06.000
<v Speaker 3>all happy for It wasn't the same as when they

988
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:08.960
<v Speaker 3>all win and everyone's just yeah, you know, but it

989
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:11.079
<v Speaker 3>was No, it was great. I was glad to see

990
00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:13.400
<v Speaker 3>them win. I saw, you know, the Dolphins won the

991
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:16.119
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowl a month before I was born, and I've

992
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:19.320
<v Speaker 3>not won again. See, they've lost a few I've seen.

993
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:23.159
<v Speaker 3>But my wife says, with my teams, because there's been

994
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:25.960
<v Speaker 3>a lot of middling and losing here and there. But

995
00:46:26.199 --> 00:46:30.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm never the never the bride, always the bride'smaid or

996
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.400
<v Speaker 3>whatever is saying to tease me on my teams. But

997
00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:35.320
<v Speaker 3>at least you know, I'm a loyal son of a gun.

998
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, you are a team player to the end. So

999
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:41.559
<v Speaker 2>that the next couple of nights, how many more nights

1000
00:46:41.559 --> 00:46:42.199
<v Speaker 2>do you have out there?

1001
00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:46.199
<v Speaker 4>Possibly I might might head back. I might head back

1002
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:52.400
<v Speaker 4>Wednesday's probably maybe three or four, maybe four a Wednesday morning. Yeah,

1003
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:54.599
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking and planning on head not Wednesday morning. So

1004
00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:57.599
<v Speaker 4>four nights, four nights.

1005
00:46:57.320 --> 00:46:58.360
<v Speaker 2>And you'll be home that night.

1006
00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:01.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, be on that night. It's about six and a

1007
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:06.599
<v Speaker 3>half getting back home. So I last night, I before night,

1008
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.719
<v Speaker 3>before two thousand and four, I'd never taken the one

1009
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:13.719
<v Speaker 3>on one pet north past San Francisco, and then since

1010
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:16.000
<v Speaker 3>then it's like sixty seventy times.

1011
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:19.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, very good, Ben, Yeah, so I might

1012

<v Speaker 2>be down there, go visit with a Mike Rugg for

1013
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:24.360
<v Speaker 2>a weekend before he closes up shop there and see

1014
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:26.519
<v Speaker 2>if we can work something out with the museum situation.

1015
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:29.559
<v Speaker 2>I'll keep everybody posted on that as things come.

1016
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Up, let me know we I'll run up and meet you.

1017
00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:33.639
<v Speaker 3>It's only right there, so.

1018
00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, for sure, I have a handful of

1019
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:38.000
<v Speaker 2>friends in that area, and I'm certain I would reach

1020
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:40.639
<v Speaker 2>out to at least several of them, and you're one

1021
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:43.079
<v Speaker 2>of them for sure. So hopefully i'll see in a

1022
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:43.679
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks here.

1023
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:45.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah'd be great.

1024
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, other than that, what'll be closed down shop here?

1025
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's been kind of a fun hangout. Not

1026
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:51.280
<v Speaker 2>a ton of bigfoot stuffwere it was spoken about. But

1027
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:54.039
<v Speaker 2>you know what, the thing about bigfooting is that has

1028
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:56.519
<v Speaker 2>a way of taking over your life and every single

1029
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:58.880
<v Speaker 2>thing you do is bigfoot. So for me personally, it's

1030
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:01.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of nice to just hang out with a couple

1031
00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:02.800
<v Speaker 2>of friends and shoot the poop for a little while

1032
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:04.800
<v Speaker 2>and talk about a couple other things besides big. But

1033
00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:07.679
<v Speaker 2>even though when I am with Bart or Bobo or Matt,

1034
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:11.599
<v Speaker 2>certainly the Sasquatch thing always always comes up. It's just

1035
00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:14.000
<v Speaker 2>such a big part of all of our lives. So

1036
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:17.079
<v Speaker 2>thanks Bart for coming on and hanging out, and thanks

1037
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Bobes for coming on and hanging out your own podcast.

1038
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:22.519
<v Speaker 7>I don't want to be glad to know that Notre

1039
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:24.960
<v Speaker 7>is making a goal line stand right now against the USC.

1040
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:28.559
<v Speaker 7>It's thirty five twenty one, so we're looking pretty good.

1041
00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:30.440
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna win the game. Why don't you let me

1042
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:33.599
<v Speaker 3>cover at least cover the points.

1043
00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:35.599

<v Speaker 3>forty years, dude.

00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:47.960
<v Speaker 6>Part will have will have literally like how many bets

1077
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:54.679
<v Speaker 3>at it, it's gonna ta I look at it very differently.

1078
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:58.159
<v Speaker 3>For me. It's not about the money. Like to me,

1079
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:00.639
<v Speaker 3>it's I set aside at you uncle money at the

1080
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:02.360
<v Speaker 3>beginning of the year. If I lose it, I'm done

1081
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:05.039
<v Speaker 3>for the year. If not, that's my play money. So

1082
00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.760
<v Speaker 3>it's already gone. And I bet big. But I mean

1083
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:09.920
<v Speaker 3>that's for me. It's not about the money. It's it's

1084
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:13.239
<v Speaker 3>the I don't lie to myself. It's the escape. It's decompressing,

1085
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:14.880
<v Speaker 3>it's a different kind of fun stress.

1086
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:15.360
<v Speaker 4>You know.
