<v Speaker 3>There's up Cliff.

9
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Lots of stuff as usual, just cruising through summer and

10
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>being busy man as a as a whole.

11
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 1>So what's up with you?

12
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Anything good?

13
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Nothing?

14
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'll have more news next week, but this

15
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 3>week now, but next you guys should ask some pretty

16
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.600
<v Speaker 3>hopefully exciting stuff I've had. What have happened transpired in

17
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 3>the meantime.

18
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Give me a hint about any any teasers for me?

19
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 3>DNA baby DNA?

20
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, we'll see, we'll see, I hope.

21
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 3>So at the temperatures cool down a little bit.

22
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Temperature dependent DNA news, Huh, that's weird.

23
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got to retrieve it and I'm not going

24
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 3>to go up. I just got beat up pretty bad

25
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 3>by the heat, so I'm gonna make sure it's not

26
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 3>excessive like triple digits if I go out there fair enough.

27
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, things have been happening around here. As usual,

28
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I got word. I did not get a chance to

29
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>investigate this one, but our good friend Tyler Bounds gave

30
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>me a call, I guess, and he reported that a

31
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>friend of his saw a sasquatch up in Ridgefield, just

32
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 2>north of Vancouver. It's like, not quite suburbia, but it's

33
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>not quite deep woods either, you know, it's kind of

34
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>in between. And at first, as you can Ridgefield, how

35
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 2>could that be true? You know, you know, but it's

36
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 2>the Pacific Northwest. There's pockets of woods everywhere. And so

37
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>he told me the location. It was this park over

38
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>near the Columbia River kind of, and there was a

39
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>tributary to the Columbia flowing through the park. And it's

40
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>a very very heavily wooded park in general.

41
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

42
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Whipple Creek Regional Park apparently had a sasquatch siding

43
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>in it. And when you do a quick Google search

44
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 2>on it, you can see it's like, oh, yeah, yeah,

45
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>that's very doable. Some people might not think so, but

46
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>those people are be incorrect, as it turns out, because

47
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 2>when you look at Whipple Creek and you say, oh, well,

48
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>the town's just a little bit there's suburbia just to

49
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>the south and a little bit to the east of it.

50
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Say well, yeah, but look at all the green way

51
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>that you have between this park and the Columbia River

52
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>and all the other green ways around there. And when

53
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>you consider like Savvie Islands right there, Sauvie Islands right

54
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>across the channel, and there have been sightings on Sauvie Island,

55
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and of course on the other side of Sauvie Island

56
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>in this general area of Scatpoos, there's stuff right outside

57
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>of Skatpoos. The whole thing makes sense. This particular siding,

58
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess a couple people were horseback riding and they

59
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>were going above rather deep forested canyon and there was

60
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 2>a river at the bottom. It wasn't like a thousand

61
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>feet down. I get the feeling. I didn't go to

62
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 2>the location because I didn't exactly where it was. I

63
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>got the feeling. Is more like thirty or maybe fifty

64
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 2>feet deep. And these guys were horseback riding and they

65
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>thought they saw a bear in the creek down below,

66
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>but apparently it wasn't. It was a hairy human shape

67
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing about maybe nee or waist deep in

68
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.439
<v Speaker 2>the water doing something in the water, and apparently they

69
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 2>got a pretty decent look at it for a decent

70
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>amount of time. I don't know. Again, I did not

71
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>speak to the witnesses. I asked for the contact information,

72
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>but just did not pan out, you know. And there

73
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 2>were people walking their dogs or whatever in the area.

74
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 2>They didn't see the thing though, because they didn't have

75
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>a good angle on it. The people on horseback had

76
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 2>a good angle on it.

77
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking at it right now. That's not much of

78
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 3>a hiving swat for a squash. The mist of all

79
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 3>those people I get seem like if I get through

80
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 3>it a nighttime, getting stuck, like, oh, it's gonna get lights.

81
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 3>So I was gonna hang out here.

82
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But put it in context of all that work

83
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>that we did back east, you know, like in Ohio

84
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>or or Pennsylvania or Minnesota. It's like, that's the kind

85
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>of stuff they hang out in back there, and we

86
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>should fully expect to do that out here.

87
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:03.680
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm saying they wouldn't. I mean, it's close

88
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 3>to the river and all that. Yeah, there's I mean,

89
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 3>there's I can see him being in there. I'm not

90
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 3>saying they wouldn't be in there, but now that's a

91
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 3>small place and for how much open space sorce of

92
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 3>Pacific Northwest, that's pretty human human zone for them.

93
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, well, I mean it is what it is.

94
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's there's that natural area on the other

95
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 2>side of the five and if you know, if they're

96
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 2>crawling around through that area, I don't know. It kind

97
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 2>of makes sense to me, especially since there's a long

98
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 2>history of stuff up in that general area, like outside

99
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>of Battleground. We usually get a reporter too outside of

100
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Battleground almost every year, and that's kind of the same

101
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 2>sort of habitat close.

102
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 3>Is this is that money maker crossing zone on the five,

103
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 3>the one he was publicizing pretty hard.

104
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh, that was up by Great Wolflage. I think

105
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago during December when one ran

106
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>across the five. Is that what you're talking about.

107
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 3>There's a couple there's several settings along this the last

108
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 3>couple of years on the same spot area.

109
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is actually south of Ridgefield a

110
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 2>little bit. But yeah, there's there's a lot of good

111
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>habit It doesn't look like much on a but you know,

112
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>as you're driving through the area, it is is very

113
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 2>very reasonable and also look at the river like right

114
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 2>there to the west of there, and look at the

115
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:12.079
<v Speaker 2>river like a grand z There's a lot of woods

116
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 2>and riparian zone and habitat in there a lot. There's

117
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>a wonderful siding. I don't have a lot of sightings

118
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 2>from Savvie Island in general because it's so it's just

119
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 2>farmed for the most part. But I did pull a

120
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>really nice sighting this past year. I think it was squash.

121
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 2>I think it was this past year a squatch fest.

122
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>A woman told me about a siding up on the

123
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 2>northern side of Sauvie Island in the sort of like

124
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 2>a swampy sort of areas that you can see in there.

125
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 2>And this is two miles three miles from that general zone. Yeah,

126
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 2>it kind of makes sense to me in general, But

127
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 2>so that was kind of cool. It was neat to

128
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>see that one was in so close.

129
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 3>So was it what thom of day was in about?

130
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 3>Like it was daylight? Yeah? What time daylight?

131
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I got the feeling it was like

132
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 2>afternoon or something. Again, I didn't didn't have a chance

133
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 2>to speak to the witness. Tyler would have more information,

134
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 2>so we call him right August for details while he's working.

135
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>It is a it is a Monday right now. Yeah,

136
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:04.920
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, anyway, hopefully maybe maybe there might be more

137
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.639
<v Speaker 2>information coming up. I was hoping to get to the

138
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>location with the witness because you know, if I didn't

139
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 2>know where it was, I could spend all day walking

140
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>around to that park and not fine. Oh yeah, yeah,

141
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>But apparently the thing was down in the water doing something,

142
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, and the guys watched it for a few

143
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.240
<v Speaker 2>moments and it clewed in that it was being seen

144
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 2>or maybe you know, it could see the people and

145
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>like looked at them for a moment and then just

146
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 2>walked out of the out of the creek and into

147
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.519
<v Speaker 2>the woods. And that's the last I saw it.

148
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm not surprised one would like spend the day and

149
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 3>they're like, you know, because it was going place to

150
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 3>place and it got kind of stuck in between two

151
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.920
<v Speaker 3>great habitat zones that you know, they're not hemmed in

152
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 3>like doing stuff like visible in the daytime, like in

153
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 3>a creek, visible from the trailer. Just asked the part

154
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.600
<v Speaker 3>that's like, well, that's that's a pretty bold squatch.

155
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well they're all doing something right now, Like every

156
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>big Foot of Live is out there doing something at

157
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 2>this very moment. I don't know. I guess another in

158
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Bigfoot news, of course, is I would. I was out

159
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 2>of town all weekend. I went to I went up

160
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.560
<v Speaker 2>to the Olympic Project property and hung out with the

161
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 2>good folks up there. Yeah, that was good fun. Lots

162
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 2>of people are up there, too many to name, of course,

163
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.279
<v Speaker 2>but I think for me, at least the highlights. It's

164
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 2>always great to see Shane and his family of course,

165
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and Derek Randalls is great. Derek said that I need

166
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to start bugging him about coming on the podcast, and

167
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 2>so I will be happy to do that. I'll be

168
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>calling Derek this week and trying to set something up.

169
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 2>He said he'd be more than happy to come on

170
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the podcast and hang out. He goes, although he hasn't

171
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 2>been doing much Bigfoot, he personally has not been doing

172
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.399
<v Speaker 2>much big but stuff lately. He's been more focused on

173
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 2>hiking very tall mountains and being in shape and stuff

174
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 2>like that. Yeah, he's super into that right now. You know,

175
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Derek is like always one hundred and ten percent into

176
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 2>anything he's doing. Yeah, yeah, right now it's I guess

177
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>when he hit sixty he said, I'm going to be

178
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 2>in the best shape of my life right now and

179
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>decided to do it. And godspeed man. Like he's killing it.

180
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 2>He's really in the hiking up like he's in these

181
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.160
<v Speaker 2>like hiking clubs and stuff where the whole point is

182
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 2>to gain elevation. I guess, yeah, really really into that.

183
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 2>But so he said, I don't know what I talk about.

184
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been doing too much. I said, dude, we're

185
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about all the stuff you did do

186
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 2>like we're going to talk about your time with Krantz.

187
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>We're going to talk about your time with doctor Meldrum

188
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 2>and the North American eight Project. I mean, I bet

189
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of our listeners have never even heard of

190
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.439
<v Speaker 2>the North American eight Project, but yet it was a

191
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.399
<v Speaker 2>huge thing back in the late nineties and early two thousands.

192
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 2>And speaking of which, one of the highlights by far

193
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.439
<v Speaker 2>of my weekend up at the op the Olympic Project

194
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.680
<v Speaker 2>property and was hanging out with John Pickering. Oh my god,

195
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>John is a legend. He was everywhere and nobody so

196
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>almost nobody nowadays knows who he is. It's like, oh man,

197
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.399
<v Speaker 2>and it's still kind of a recluse. But we and

198
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 2>I get along really well because we're both, you know,

199
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>diehard introverts at the end of the day, and we

200
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.440
<v Speaker 2>totally understand like, yeah, I don't there's people there. I

201
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>don't want to go there. You know, we totally, we

202
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.200
<v Speaker 2>totally understand each other. Yeah, he's awesome. Yeah I learned

203
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot from him as well. He's just so cool.

204
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.440
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I did that this past weekend. So I

205
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:03.000
<v Speaker 2>got home and I went into work yesterday, today's Monday.

206
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 2>So on Sunday, I went into work. A couple interesting emails.

207
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>There's a game camera picture that clearly shows an eye

208
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>of something and a bunch of other goodness knows what.

209
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 2>I suspect it's a bear, you know, sniff in the camera.

210
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 2>There's another email with a photograph of a footprint cast

211
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 2>that they needed help identifying, and it turned out to

212
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 2>be in my opinion, I think it's an old copy

213
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.879
<v Speaker 2>of the Peter Burn nineteen sixty track that has all

214
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 2>sorts of weird things around it. Of course, and you

215
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.559
<v Speaker 2>can always read about that on the Cliffberrickman dot com

216
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 2>website in the track database. But also while I was there. Coincidentally,

217
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:37.399
<v Speaker 2>while I was there, and this is what I love

218
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>about the bigfoot thing. And I can totally see why

219
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.759
<v Speaker 2>people say, oh see, yes, paranormal. It's like, nah, relax,

220
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 2>everything's cool. Turns out that weird things happen in life.

221
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.120
<v Speaker 2>While I was there, somebody called in to the shop

222
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 2>wanting to tell us about running in possibly running into

223
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>a sasquatch the day before at the Sandy Hatchery. I

224
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 2>live in Sandy, Oregon, and there's a hatchery not too

225
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 2>far away, you know, out in the woods there, and

226
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 2>somebody was down fishing, I guess, at five or six

227
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 2>o'clock at night, in the general zone of the Sandy

228
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Sandy Hatchery there, and they didn't see anybody else. There

229
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 2>were a couple of fishermen around, they know because the

230
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 2>parking lot, but they didn't see anybody else. And they

231
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't see a sasquatch either. I want to make that clear.

232
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>They're down there on one of the Sandy beaches next

233
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 2>to the Sandy River. A lot of Sandy words being

234
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>thrown around right now. Yeah, but they're on one of

235
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.279
<v Speaker 2>these beaches down by the Sandy River fishing. And it

236
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.519
<v Speaker 2>was again five or six o'clock at night, so plenty

237
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>of lights still, and they heard a big splash. And

238
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>they saw the splash, but they didn't see what made it.

239
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.080
<v Speaker 2>And the guy thought, oh man, that's a big salmon.

240
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Holy smokes, that salmon just rolled right. And so because

241
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 2>again everybody fish is at the hattery, you know, because

242
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 2>if they For those people who don't live in the

243
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Pacific Northwest, I guess a clue to the puzzle here

244
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 2>is that you aren't allowed to eat wild fish. You

245
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.840
<v Speaker 2>aren't allowed to fish for salmon or steel ahead that

246
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.840
<v Speaker 2>are wild and eat them. You have to let those go.

247
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:02.240
<v Speaker 2>But if you can and fact fish for and keep

248
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and eat hatchery salmon. And so everybody fishes by the

249
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>hatchery because that's where all the fish are going anyway,

250
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 2>the ones that you're allowed to eat. Somebody fishes in

251
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 2>that general zone. It makes sense, right, they're concentrated there.

252
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.399
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, he was there and he heard there heard

253
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 2>a splash, and didn't he thought it was a salmon.

254
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 2>He starts casting at it, and like a minute or

255
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.679
<v Speaker 2>two later, something catches his eye at a corner of

256
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 2>his eye, and it's another rock. Apparently the first splash

257
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.440
<v Speaker 2>was a rock, and this one is another rock, and

258
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>he sees it and it splashes into the river, and

259
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.600
<v Speaker 2>this one's large enough that it grinds against the stones

260
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 2>in the water. I love how deep it was there.

261
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 2>But you know, you know, we've all heard that noise,

262
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 2>right pretty much. Yeah, So and he goes, oh my god,

263
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 2>what was that? And he gets pissed because he's not

264
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.440
<v Speaker 2>thinking bigfoot, you know, and he thought, like, who the

265
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 2>hell's throwing rocks at us? And so he actually throws

266
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 2>his rod down on the ground and runs up the

267
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 2>up the bank or whatever, say, who the hell did that?

268
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.399
<v Speaker 2>He was ready to bust some heads, basically, is what

269
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 2>it sounded like. And he doesn't see anybody. He goes

270
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.440
<v Speaker 2>the other direction, doesn't see anybody, looks in the woods,

271
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 2>doesn't see anybody. He's going like, what in the what

272
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:13.360
<v Speaker 2>the heck's going on?

273
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 3>Right?

274
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 2>And then another minute or two later, another rock comes in,

275
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and this time it lands about ten feet from his

276
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:25.559
<v Speaker 2>girlfriend on the beach, on the sand itself. And this

277
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.279
<v Speaker 2>rock is about the size of a basketball, is the

278
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>way he explained.

279
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, how far did it come from?

280
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Don't know, don't know, right, So he's thinking like, what,

281
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.159
<v Speaker 2>oh my, what the heck is this? And he doesn't

282
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 2>see anybody, and he's going, this is just too weird, man,

283
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.399
<v Speaker 2>And so they leave. Basically, they leave. They decided to

284
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.639
<v Speaker 2>get out, and so they start walking out. They cross

285
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 2>this little stream or whatever in there, and about another

286
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 2>he said, about another two or three hundred yards after

287
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 2>that little stream, the stream Cedar Creek right there, which

288
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.080
<v Speaker 2>is where the hatter is. Two or three hundred yards later,

289
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 2>as a walking out, they hear a big tree knock

290
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 2>from behind them, you know, like a real big, loud

291
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 2>tree knock from behind them in that general zone, and

292
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>he goes, He goes, He's just going, what in the world,

293
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 2>what is that?

294
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 3>You know?

295
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.919
<v Speaker 2>So they go home and they're talking about it. They

296
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know what to think about it. They start looking

297
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:20.200
<v Speaker 2>on the internet and asking AI and whatever, and they

298
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.919
<v Speaker 2>start like, oh my god, a bigfoot? What maybe? Oh

299
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>my god. And so he calls me. He calls the

300
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 2>shop when I happen to be there, which is a

301
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.600
<v Speaker 2>cool part. I love the coincidence aspect of that sort

302
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.240
<v Speaker 2>of thing. Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with

303
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Cliff and Bobo. Will be right back after these messages.

304
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 2>So he calls me and tells me about the whole thing,

305
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.399
<v Speaker 2>and then I said, oh, well, shoot, I got to

306
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 2>get down there that night. I had some work. I'm

307
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 2>helping my neighbor, my great neighbor, Gary build a shelter

308
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.799
<v Speaker 2>like a building sort of thing for his mill. So

309
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.360
<v Speaker 2>I had that took up my afternoon, and we're doing

310
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:01.759
<v Speaker 2>the roofing right now of all that. So I was

311
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Speaker 2>down there helping him with all that. But around five

312
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.720
<v Speaker 2>or six o'clock at night, I know, about four thirty

313
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>or five, actually, I went down there, and I convinced

314
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Melissa to go too, which is kind of fun. She

315
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.960
<v Speaker 2>rarely goes out with me because she doesn't like going

316
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 2>cross country or going bushwhacking or going to swamps, and

317
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 2>that is generally what I tend to do, it seems.

318
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.519
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, she came down with me anyway, and we

319
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.399
<v Speaker 2>went down there and spooked around for a while, and

320
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:29.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, I spent about forty five minutes or an

321
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.799
<v Speaker 2>hour looking around, and then I started focusing on, Okay,

322
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 2>where could the rocks come from? If I was, you know,

323
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 2>seven or eight feet tall, maybe maybe i'd put myself

324
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 2>in that kind of place. And I found a couple

325
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.759
<v Speaker 2>of maybes. I found some things that may or may

326
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>not be trying. I mean, there were areas of soil

327
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.440
<v Speaker 2>that were definitely disturbed. I'll go ahead and send these

328
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.720
<v Speaker 2>to you right now, because I don't think I've done

329
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 2>that yet. But yeah, pretty interesting stuff. And of course

330
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.879
<v Speaker 2>since I've opened the museum and started collecting reports locally

331
00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 2>like that, I think there's been five or six now.

332
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it might be the six to one six

333
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 2>report between you know, Class B stuff like this and

334
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 2>actual observations of sasquatches between the hatchery and bull Run

335
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.399
<v Speaker 2>basically you know, which is right right downstream, just like

336
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:15.399
<v Speaker 2>a mile or so away.

337
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I are an ABC post on that. Yeah.

338
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, and of course release that new video as well.

339
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I saw that you commented on the Bobo is of

340
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>course a museum member, and he was nice enough to

341
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>comment on that. I think my museum members get a

342
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 2>kick out of that, So thank you, Bobo.

343
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:34.600
<v Speaker 1>And you and ever are like, oh my god, you

344
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 1>know Bobo.

345
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times they come in and point to

346
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.919
<v Speaker 2>the sculpt of Bobo's head that Wilsten made us, and

347
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.159
<v Speaker 2>they say, oh my god, look at that.

348
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

349
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 2>So I found four possible tracks. Three of them were

350
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 2>together about forty two or forty four inches apart, and

351
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.240
<v Speaker 2>then one of them was about twenty or thirty feet

352
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 2>away in the general direction. And none of them are

353
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.360
<v Speaker 2>very good. I just sent you all four of them.

354
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.200
<v Speaker 2>None of them are very good at all. I'm not

355
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>going to, you know, hype these things up at all.

356
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.399
<v Speaker 2>But one of them looks pretty okay. One of them

357
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.960
<v Speaker 2>you can say, oh, that might be something, you know,

358
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.000
<v Speaker 2>which is the first one I found. And then I

359
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.240
<v Speaker 2>found one after it, And then I took that measurement

360
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.720
<v Speaker 2>and taped it back like a tracking stick, you know,

361
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:20.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's where I found the other one. So I

362
00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:25.320
<v Speaker 2>found three consecutive tracks, all about the same size and

363
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.440
<v Speaker 2>all about the same distance away from each other, and

364
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>then another one twenty or thirty feet away, I guess,

365
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 2>so interesting stuff. And of course, yeah, sure that happens

366
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.720
<v Speaker 2>down there. That's one of the things that happens down there.

367
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.879
<v Speaker 2>They do hear knocks down there. They do occasionally get

368
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.240
<v Speaker 2>rock throwings in that general area. But it's organ that's

369
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.720
<v Speaker 2>what happens here. So that's what. That's more or less

370
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 2>the news I have except for fires man. Are you

371
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:46.960
<v Speaker 2>safe from fires?

372
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Bobo?

373
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? We had one. This was like a week and

374
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:52.480
<v Speaker 3>a half ago. I was sitting here, and also I've

375
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.639
<v Speaker 3>seen this smoke just building up and it came forward

376
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.480
<v Speaker 3>by Polly Live was directly north of me, and I

377
00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.159
<v Speaker 3>called him. I said, dude, what's going on? Because there

378
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:00.799
<v Speaker 3>was like a fire truck something next to the fire

379
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 3>sits they ripping out, and then we started hearing like,

380
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.279
<v Speaker 3>you know, four or five six helicopters are making runs,

381
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, like getting water from the river. Like, well,

382
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 3>you know what's going on. I called him and said,

383
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:13.640
<v Speaker 3>he goes.

384
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 1>He didn't.

385
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:15.720
<v Speaker 3>He goes, there's a fireing mouse and said the smokelers

386
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:17.720
<v Speaker 3>that's coming near you. And he goes went outside and

387
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 3>lived and saw his neighbor's house was on fire, but

388
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.799
<v Speaker 3>it didn't spread into the forest, but his poor neighbor

389
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 3>lost their place.

390
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, it's terrible. Yeah, my friends in the Spollcane

391
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.039
<v Speaker 2>have the it's really bad and Spokecane right now. A

392
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.440
<v Speaker 2>couple of my friends out there have the fire like

393
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 2>a half mile from their house at the moment. Yeah,

394
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.440
<v Speaker 2>scary stuff.

395
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I've seen like the up are you guys?

396
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Like that whole area there's like olive ore and there's

397
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:44.039
<v Speaker 3>been tons of fires.

398
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, our friends on the warm Springs Reservation are having

399
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.599
<v Speaker 2>a really tough time right now. They're starting to take

400
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>collections of food and water and stuff to go donate

401
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.039
<v Speaker 2>out there in the reservation too. Really, yeah, we're gonna

402
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.119
<v Speaker 2>be driving up the mountain later today to drop off

403
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of food and whatever the supplies for them.

404
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.000
<v Speaker 2>There's some collection spots up in the mountain, so we're

405
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna be driving up there and giving some stuff away

406
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:04.960
<v Speaker 2>for our friends out there.

407
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.680
<v Speaker 1>We had just gotten a message from a listener named

408
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Patricia Dyer. I think it's Magnahi Magnahie. I might be

409
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.599
<v Speaker 1>mispronouncing that, but she had said, Hey, Cliff and bow

410
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.359
<v Speaker 1>is a hope all as well with you of our

411
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:20.039
<v Speaker 1>beautiful Bigfoot Blue Mountains are burning due to multiple wildfires,

412
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:22.119
<v Speaker 1>including around Mill Creek Watershed.

413
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, inside Milk Creek Watershed, to be exact about it.

414
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.880
<v Speaker 2>From un understand, there's a paradise fires what they call it.

415
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.119
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the I was. You know, everybody knows

416
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I was supposed to go there last week or the

417
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.960
<v Speaker 2>week before, but I had car trouble and so I

418
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get out there or whatever. And it's probably a

419
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:39.680
<v Speaker 2>good thing I didn't go because all up on Black

420
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Snake Ridge, which is just south of Biscuit Ridge, there's

421
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.640
<v Speaker 2>a much of emergency vehicles, a lot of road closures

422
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.440
<v Speaker 2>and all that stuff. And then, of course, over by

423
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:51.240
<v Speaker 2>a deduct and skyline, there's also a lot of emergency

424
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 2>vehicles going around. And the last thing I need to

425
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 2>do is get in their way. They've got way more

426
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.319
<v Speaker 2>important things to do than look for apes in the

427
00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.319
<v Speaker 2>woods man. So I'm I'm glad it worked out that way,

428
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.279
<v Speaker 2>But you know, that's how my life usually rolls, is

429
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.039
<v Speaker 2>plans go awry and then I find out like, oh

430
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.680
<v Speaker 2>it was for the better. There you go. Well, you know,

431
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:10.640
<v Speaker 2>this isn't a catch up episode. This is really more

432
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.680
<v Speaker 2>of a Q and A episode. Should we jump into

433
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:14.400
<v Speaker 2>that sort of stuff for the August Q and A?

434
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got questions.

435
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we should ask the questions, and our viewers shouldn't

436
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:24.759
<v Speaker 2>answer them. Our viewers, our listeners should should answer them.

437
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.039
<v Speaker 2>My first question is what the hell do you think

438
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:29.759
<v Speaker 2>you're doing? Who do you think you are?

439
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Whoever you are. We do have a few voicemails here

440
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.799
<v Speaker 1>and quite a few written questions. This will be a

441
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.559
<v Speaker 1>little bit different format because I'm not able to cut

442
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:39.599
<v Speaker 1>and paste the questions, so I'll just have to read

443
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>those out. But we'll start with some of the voicemails,

444
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:43.720
<v Speaker 1>going to grab one at random. So let's see what

445
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.880
<v Speaker 1>this first voicemail is, asking gratings from one of your

446
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Australian pigeons. I had a work colleague who had an

447
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.759
<v Speaker 1>encounter on the Snowy River here in Victoria. Snowy River

448
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.119
<v Speaker 1>is mostly very shallow river with the old date pool

449
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:59.880
<v Speaker 1>here and there, and this big foot well Patty st

450
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>across an open sandy flat, looked at him and then

451
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.240
<v Speaker 1>slipped into the river into one of these deeper pools,

452
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and that was it. It never came up. And his

453
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:11.920
<v Speaker 1>theory was that it had an underground entrance to a

454
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.960
<v Speaker 1>cave or something. Sadly, this bloke was killed in a

455
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>car accident and this sighting died with him, and I.

456
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Don't believe he ever officially reported it, but anyway prompted

457
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:24.480
<v Speaker 4>my question. I've heard lots of reports about bigfoot in water, swimming,

458
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:28.359
<v Speaker 4>et cetera. But what is your favorite or weirdest bigfoot

459
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:29.279
<v Speaker 4>water story?

460
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Love to hear it.

461
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:32.200
<v Speaker 4>Thanks fellers, cheers, keep up with great work.

462
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:34.319
<v Speaker 3>Well one am I going to think I've wrote that

463
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.079
<v Speaker 3>is in a song Paul Greves is Jim Henry's song

464
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:40.359
<v Speaker 3>about seeing a couple of big foot swim up into

465
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.039
<v Speaker 3>the lake and they had elk swing in the lake

466
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:45.359
<v Speaker 3>and they hearded the elk while swimming, like I actually

467
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.079
<v Speaker 3>heard the elcheet chased them up to the say they

468
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:51.119
<v Speaker 3>wanted him on and yeah, so check that out. Paul

469
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:54.319
<v Speaker 3>Greas is Jim Henry Si. It's one of my it's

470
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:56.839
<v Speaker 3>my favorite big foot song and one of my favorite

471
00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.279
<v Speaker 3>songs ever. And then there's another ones that lake is

472
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.799
<v Speaker 3>like claim on the boats in Alaska, people fishing like

473
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:05.000
<v Speaker 3>in creeks and snaging them and like I think they

474
00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:06.839
<v Speaker 3>snagged the log or something, and then all of a

475
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.559
<v Speaker 3>sudden the sasquatch stands out of a creed. You know

476
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:13.480
<v Speaker 3>they're fishing for catfish. There's there's there's several good water ones.

477
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:16.039
<v Speaker 1>As a side note, I do I love the idea

478
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:18.680
<v Speaker 1>that instead of relating the report, you're like, oh, go

479
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:20.640
<v Speaker 1>listen to this song. It just made me think like,

480
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:22.920
<v Speaker 1>instead of writing another book, I should just make an

481
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.559
<v Speaker 1>album of sasquatch or lind information. So if people are like,

482
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:28.119
<v Speaker 1>have you ever heard any reports of this, I'm like,

483
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:29.440
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, check out track six.

484
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Man.

485
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:35.039
<v Speaker 2>We just got to report in the museum the other

486
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:36.480
<v Speaker 2>day of what having to do with water, and I

487
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:40.359
<v Speaker 2>thought it showed some interesting behavior. Apparently somebody saw a

488
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:43.319
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch walking in this creek or whatever, and it was

489
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 2>like scooping water up and throwing it up onto its

490
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.559
<v Speaker 2>own back as it walked. And I thought that was

491
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.079
<v Speaker 2>an interesting behavior because clearly, being covered and firm, being

492
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.200
<v Speaker 2>very very large, would be very very warm to be

493
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.599
<v Speaker 2>that kind of animal. And you know, that reminds me

494
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:02.079
<v Speaker 2>also a moneymaker, and it's time in Ohio where he

495
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:05.119
<v Speaker 2>would go up these little draws that fed these larger

496
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.160
<v Speaker 2>rivers in search of bigfoot stuff, you know, chasing down

497
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 2>sidings and things. And he told me that he found

498
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.319
<v Speaker 2>several places, or at least one. At least one, but

499
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 2>I got the feeling was more than one where a

500
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.200
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch had apparently been submerging itself in a deeper pool

501
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:24.359
<v Speaker 2>in these small, little feeder creeks. And one time he

502
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:28.000
<v Speaker 2>did tell me he found a wet footprint on the

503
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 2>side of one of these as he came up and

504
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.720
<v Speaker 2>apparently disturbed the animal out of them. Out of this

505
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 2>little pool thing. So that's why Matt was always on

506
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:41.240
<v Speaker 2>fire about these slow moving deep pools in shady ravines,

507
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.119
<v Speaker 2>especially in Ohio and Pennsylvania where it's super muggy and

508
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:48.079
<v Speaker 2>hot and crappy ol all summer. He thinks that that

509
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:50.880
<v Speaker 2>that is a strategy for them keeping cool. And that

510
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.640
<v Speaker 2>new siding that was just it is not a new sighting.

511
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:55.839
<v Speaker 2>It happened in the nineties. But the sighting that just

512
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 2>came into us at the NABC this past weekend about

513
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.799
<v Speaker 2>the thing splashing water on its back reminded.

514
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Me of that. Yeah, makes sense, Yeah, I think so.

515
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there was one that came to mind when I

516
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:09.680
<v Speaker 1>heard that question that a friend of mine spoke to

517
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the witness. So I've only heard it secondhand from the

518
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:14.240
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine that spoke to this person, But they

519
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.359
<v Speaker 1>talked about I think they were deer hunting. They do it,

520
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:18.720
<v Speaker 1>some kind of hunting. And so it was November December,

521
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:22.039
<v Speaker 1>and I think central Georgia, so still pretty cold, probably

522
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 1>like in the twenties, thirties, et cetera. And the thing

523
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:28.519
<v Speaker 1>had come out and gotten into a pond and very

524
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>cold weather. But the guy said, he said, man, this

525
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.440
<v Speaker 1>thing moved around in that water and was swimming around

526
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:35.720
<v Speaker 1>like it was the fourth of July or something, and

527
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:38.160
<v Speaker 1>so it really made me think, man, they must be

528
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty cold tolerant, or there must have been some benefit

529
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.839
<v Speaker 1>to getting in that water on a cold day like that,

530
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>if the story's true. It was another story that I

531
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:50.240
<v Speaker 1>took from a guy who was military personnel at the time.

532
00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:52.599
<v Speaker 1>I think he was on leave or some sort of

533
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:55.759
<v Speaker 1>a break, and he and another individual were hunting on

534
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Little Tybee Island, which is actually much larger than Tybee Island,

535
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:01.319
<v Speaker 1>even though it's called Little Tybee, but it is a

536
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>wildlife refuge there on the coastal portion of Georgia. And

537
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>they had an encounter at night. The thing approached their camp,

538
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:13.319
<v Speaker 1>intimidated them, then collapsed their tent with a giant branch

539
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 1>or log like. It hurled a big heavy branch and

540
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:18.319
<v Speaker 1>collapsed their tent and then ran away from them as

541
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:20.759
<v Speaker 1>they kind of chased it, and it ran into what

542
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 1>sort of title marsh and he said it was below

543
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.240
<v Speaker 1>freezing again, probably in the teens or twenties, low twenties.

544
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.680
<v Speaker 1>It gives you some insight in just how they are

545
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:32.880
<v Speaker 1>certainly built for the cold. You know what I mean,

546
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:35.599
<v Speaker 1>I heard somewhere. I don't know this is true, so

547
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 1>please fact check me out there. I heard somewhere that,

548
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 1>like you know those feral children stories or whatever from

549
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:43.119
<v Speaker 1>the eighteen hundreds and whatever in France and all those places,

550
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:47.640
<v Speaker 1>that apparently that these feral children also were not cold sensitive,

551
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 1>hot nor cold. They just kind of dealt with it

552
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:54.559
<v Speaker 1>and didn't They didn't prefer one or the other. Really,

553
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just they were just didn't notice it.

554
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:58.920
<v Speaker 3>It lives. Yeah, I read that.

555
00:24:59.519 --> 00:24:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Have you read that?

556
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so that's a something not making that up somehow?

557
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:03.079
<v Speaker 3>Good?

558
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Good.

559
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So it makes sense at animals because I mean

560
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I always thought, like, how Soshi, how could you go

561
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 2>in that water? It's ridiculous And she never answered me

562
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>because she's a dog.

563
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:16.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. You know Fred Subarctic Alaska. He has a great

564
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 3>story with some elders where they were shooting. They were

565
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 3>shooting at one and it ran and dove into a pond,

566
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:23.559
<v Speaker 3>and it came back and attacked like was you know,

567
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:25.839
<v Speaker 3>throwing stuff at him, like trying to get him from

568
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 3>the opposite side. Afterwards. This is like in the nineteen forties,

569
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:32.200
<v Speaker 3>but it is pretty good, like it escaped multiple times

570
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 3>as they were shooting at it, like I think twice.

571
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 3>I think I think it was twice that it jumped

572
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:38.599
<v Speaker 3>into this dove into this pond like like sprinted and

573
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:44.119
<v Speaker 3>dove headfirst and disappeared that way. Wow, is a fascinating stuff,

574
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.680
<v Speaker 3>and you hear it's like it's a it's a crazy one.

575
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 3>It's one of my favorite ones.

576
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 1>They give you that question, Paul, So sorry to hear

577
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:52.920
<v Speaker 1>about the loss of your friend. But we always love

578
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a good yaoi story, so thanks for sending that in.

579
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Super interesting part of the world. I love the AWI stuff.

580
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with

581
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Cliff and Bogo. Will be right back after these messages.

582
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:16.240
<v Speaker 1>So here is the first written question, also from a Paul.

583
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Paul Roby writes and says, can you.

584
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Do this in a voice that you imagine Paul to have?

585
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 1>This one's so positive. I can't really do anything that

586
00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:27.000
<v Speaker 1>would be a derogatory or that somebody would think would

587
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:28.680
<v Speaker 1>be making fun of them, so I'll save it for

588
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:29.480
<v Speaker 1>another question.

589
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I was just kidding anyway. I just thought it'd be funny,

590
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:33.240
<v Speaker 2>but go ahead.

591
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Paul Roby asks, Hello, Clifford, Bobes and Matt. I would

592
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.480
<v Speaker 1>like to ask how did John Green cover so many reports?

593
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Even in the Yukon he has two there, and in

594
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:45.799
<v Speaker 1>states like North Dakota and South Dakota, or places like

595
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 1>eastern Montana combined, he has more than I would think

596
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 1>he could have possibly have gotten at that time. Do

597
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you have any thoughts on why or how? By the way,

598
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:56.359
<v Speaker 1>I love the podcast. It's changed my life.

599
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:01.960
<v Speaker 2>We're so sorry about that, and let's it's change it

600
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:03.240
<v Speaker 2>for the better. But that's a rare thing.

601
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Your life was already sucked. Don't blay with us.

602
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I think we've enriched his life. You know, I think

603
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 1>back then, some of that stuff probably got pretty widely disseminated,

604
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 1>some of those writings. I mean, obviously there were the

605
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.839
<v Speaker 1>men's magazines that would have pointed to that, even though

606
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Green wasn't really writing articles for those. It would have

607
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:24.599
<v Speaker 1>been more like Sanderson and some of those folks. But

608
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I would just have to imagine that there was enough

609
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 1>interest in rural places that maybe some of those books

610
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.759
<v Speaker 1>were carried there. Some of Green's writings, or at least

611
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:35.440
<v Speaker 1>some of the things he had written, were published in

612
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the local papers, such that when people did have sightings

613
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:41.759
<v Speaker 1>or encounters and they were looking for someone to reach

614
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:43.839
<v Speaker 1>out to, they would have found John Green because you know,

615
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:46.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that came from correspondence, from people writing

616
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:48.640
<v Speaker 1>into him and then maybe he'd get a chance to

617
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:51.200
<v Speaker 1>interview them. He did one sort of tour, you know,

618
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:54.000
<v Speaker 1>where he drove around the United States, Canada, and the

619
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:56.839
<v Speaker 1>United States, interviewing people in person. But a lot of

620
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.359
<v Speaker 1>that had to be predicated on having already made contact

621
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:04.119
<v Speaker 1>in places with witnesses via phone calls or correspondent. So

622
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine it would just be people finding a

623
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:09.680
<v Speaker 1>way to get in touch with him, because his works

624
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:11.680
<v Speaker 1>were some of the only works on the Sasquatch and

625
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:13.359
<v Speaker 1>they were out there. But I mean, what do you

626
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:17.119
<v Speaker 1>guys take I mean, being on mysterious Monsters and Bigfoot

627
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Man or beast or Bigfoot Man Beast did in search

628
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:22.920
<v Speaker 1>out you know, there's so many ways that his name

629
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 1>was put out into the world where people could have

630
00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:27.759
<v Speaker 1>found him. I would guess by a certain time at least, well.

631
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:28.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was.

632
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 2>It was a much more literate time as well. Keep

633
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.240
<v Speaker 2>that in mind people actually read back then and him

634
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.720
<v Speaker 2>publishing what three books by nineteen seventy two or three

635
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 2>or something like that. Those made their way out there,

636
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:41.000
<v Speaker 2>and of course he hoofed it.

637
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 1>He did.

638
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 2>He put us boots on the ground and got those

639
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 2>things in the libraries, and other libraries heard about it,

640
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 2>and libraries started carrying books on this subject, and that

641
00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:52.640
<v Speaker 2>helped a lot. I mean, I remember reading John Green

642
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.079
<v Speaker 2>books in my local library and El Dorado Park in

643
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Long Beach, California. There were John Green books in the

644
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventies when I was there as a six or

645
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:03.519
<v Speaker 2>eight year old boy checking out books on weird things.

646
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:06.279
<v Speaker 2>So the books helped a lot, of course. And of

647
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 2>course he did write, and he was like the editor

648
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.240
<v Speaker 2>or owner of the newspaper in Harrison or whatever it

649
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.640
<v Speaker 2>was that he probably did publish some articles there, and

650
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.799
<v Speaker 2>some of those might have been distributed on ap newswire

651
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:21.480
<v Speaker 2>or something like that on slow news stays, just like

652
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:24.680
<v Speaker 2>the Jerry Crue article got distributed. But also you met

653
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:27.880
<v Speaker 2>you did mention that tour. He did take a tour

654
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:30.880
<v Speaker 2>of the United States and Canada, visiting people that he'd

655
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.519
<v Speaker 2>been corresponding with and probably dicking up new reports along

656
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:36.839
<v Speaker 2>the way. Because he talked to one witness they say, oh, yeah,

657
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:39.359
<v Speaker 2>my other neighbor he saw one too, or whatever, and

658
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:42.440
<v Speaker 2>so one thing leads to another word of mouth. But

659
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:45.279
<v Speaker 2>also keep in mind, and I don't have the exact number,

660
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:47.920
<v Speaker 2>but by the time John Green published the book that

661
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.880
<v Speaker 2>was the result of that cross continent tour Apes among Us,

662
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:57.079
<v Speaker 2>that's the book that resulted from that effort, he had

663
00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:58.920
<v Speaker 2>something on the terms, and I think it was like

664
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 2>seventeen hundred reports, which really isn't that many by today's standard.

665
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:06.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's a lot, especially when you think of

666
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:09.799
<v Speaker 2>the context where he was working that time period, and

667
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:14.359
<v Speaker 2>also a word of mouth and handwritten letters sent by

668
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:16.640
<v Speaker 2>snail mail back and forth to each other and that

669
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:20.240
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing. That is a tremendous, herculean effort and

670
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:23.119
<v Speaker 2>a wonderful result for it. But at the end of

671
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the day, seventeen hundred reports is a drop in a

672
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.039
<v Speaker 2>pond at this point, so it's not that big of

673
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.440
<v Speaker 2>it would not be that big of a database at

674
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.680
<v Speaker 2>this point in time. Back then, it was ridiculous off

675
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.119
<v Speaker 2>the charts, but nowadays it's not that big of a database.

676
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>So it's good to keep that the context of what

677
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:46.759
<v Speaker 2>time period. It's good to keep that in mind.

678
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:50.839
<v Speaker 1>I would guess too, that he did have somewhat of

679
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:53.480
<v Speaker 1>a network of other researchers around the country. I mean

680
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>even references. You know Lauren Coleman, who at that time

681
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:58.960
<v Speaker 1>was in southern Illinois, who was taking reports and fording

682
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:01.599
<v Speaker 1>those to Green. And obviously the guys that formed the

683
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Bay Area group were fording. You know, there was a

684
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>bit of a network and some communication and exchange of reports.

685
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:10.000
<v Speaker 1>So there might have been someone in those aforementioned regions

686
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:12.880
<v Speaker 1>that Paul asked about who was collecting those reports and

687
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:14.119
<v Speaker 1>then fording those on to Green.

688
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I know for a fact there was. I have

689
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the papers actually I have, like Barbara Wasawson was part

690
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.079
<v Speaker 2>of that group of researchers that were out, you know,

691
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:25.359
<v Speaker 2>looking around for him. See what John Green did back

692
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.240
<v Speaker 2>in the day, and this is the early seventies. If

693
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I understand the historical papers that I have, and I

694
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 2>actually have copies in doctor Meldrum's collection as well that

695
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.519
<v Speaker 2>reflect the same thing. John Green would have a loose

696
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.440
<v Speaker 2>knit group of researchers all throughout the continent that he

697
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:44.440
<v Speaker 2>would correspond with and his directions to them. And I

698
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:46.559
<v Speaker 2>had the letters somewhere. I got to dig that out

699
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:49.640
<v Speaker 2>His directions to them was like, okay, if you if

700
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.599
<v Speaker 2>you hear a report or a footprint find or anything

701
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>you know bigfoot related, write a short synopsis of it,

702
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:57.720
<v Speaker 2>a summary of it on a three x five card,

703
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:00.640
<v Speaker 2>where and when and who or whatever ination you have,

704
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:03.039
<v Speaker 2>and then send it to me. And then what it

705
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:06.119
<v Speaker 2>seems was happening is that once a month or so,

706
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:09.279
<v Speaker 2>John Green would take all of those three by five

707
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 2>cards and lay them out on a eight and a

708
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:14.400
<v Speaker 2>half by eleven piece of paper, and I guess xeroxim

709
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean copy machines didn't Some sort of copy machine

710
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:19.519
<v Speaker 2>existed at that point. I don't know what it was

711
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 2>because I remember the blue ink ones that you had

712
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.559
<v Speaker 2>to do or rolling thing on. Yeah, I remember that

713
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:28.599
<v Speaker 2>stuff from elementary school because it smelled good. But that's

714
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what else, what other technology they had

715
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:34.319
<v Speaker 2>at the time, but there was something going on, because

716
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:37.200
<v Speaker 2>once a month or so, John Green would take all

717
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 2>of the submissions from the previous month or so from

718
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>all this wide variety of researcher out there, Barbara Wasson

719
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:49.240
<v Speaker 2>or whoever else, and then send it to everybody who contributed.

720
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:53.960
<v Speaker 2>So it's like the very earliest inkling seed sort of

721
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:58.519
<v Speaker 2>thing of a BFRO style database. So, and I've got

722
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of three by five cards with sightings on them,

723
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and I've got these copied papers with all these sighting

724
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.480
<v Speaker 2>reports on them from all these other people. It's a

725
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:11.799
<v Speaker 2>very very interesting snapshot of a very low tech way

726
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:13.920
<v Speaker 2>of a siting report database.

727
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:14.720
<v Speaker 4>It's super cool.

728
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.119
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to reread the book to see if he

729
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:19.720
<v Speaker 1>mentions who his contacts are in those states, you know,

730
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the Dakotas and Montana, Wyoming, et cetera, because usually he

731
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.440
<v Speaker 1>does give credit, you know, in at least apes among

732
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.440
<v Speaker 1>us as to you know, who he's meeting up with

733
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 1>in those places or who's forwarding the reports. That's how

734
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.839
<v Speaker 1>I heard about so many of the other researchers that

735
00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I looked into from that era were their references and

736
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:36.680
<v Speaker 1>apes among us.

737
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.720
<v Speaker 2>But before we go on, I just turned around in

738
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:41.480
<v Speaker 2>my I'm in my office right now, that's where I

739
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.079
<v Speaker 2>do the podcast from, and I just turned around and

740
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:46.519
<v Speaker 2>grabbed a stack of papers because I have some of

741
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:48.759
<v Speaker 2>these papers right here in front of me. So I'm

742
00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:50.880
<v Speaker 2>looking now, and this is in the early seventies, this

743
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 2>is the late seventies.

744
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I just have.

745
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:56.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to grab a random page in here. This

746
00:33:56.720 --> 00:34:00.799
<v Speaker 2>is a random enough page. It has one, two, three, four,

747
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:04.839
<v Speaker 2>five siding reports on one side. The first one, it says,

748
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 2>says Ramona Hibner, two girls, Laurel, Florida, January seventeenth, nineteen

749
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:14.280
<v Speaker 2>seventy six. Camping in a pasture. Girls saw large creature

750
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:16.920
<v Speaker 2>covered with hair from head to foot, long, dark hair

751
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:21.000
<v Speaker 2>hung over large shiny green eyes. It was hunched over,

752
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.920
<v Speaker 2>ran away upright, waddling when aware it was being observed.

753
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:29.559
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the five reports. Next one says Greg Mastell,

754
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Game Guide, Tobacco Root Mountains near Ennis, Montana, October nineteen

755
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:38.840
<v Speaker 2>seventy six, with two clients hunting and mountains, saw two

756
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:41.800
<v Speaker 2>upright figures and clearing about one hundred yards away. Both

757
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:44.639
<v Speaker 2>looked about eight to nine feet tall, one coal black,

758
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:47.039
<v Speaker 2>the other black with a white streak on its back.

759
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:50.679
<v Speaker 2>They took photos which Greg has not seen. And this

760
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:52.800
<v Speaker 2>just goes on and on on and on and on

761
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and on.

762
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Those water ones, I'm sure those are the females could be.

763
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:00.559
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to sift through those, especially for any if

764
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.280
<v Speaker 1>there are any Southeastern states you know in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama,

765
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:06.519
<v Speaker 1>the Carolina is that sort of thing, dude.

766
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:10.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm holding two stapled packets together. Each of the staple

767
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:12.840
<v Speaker 2>packets is over a quarter of an inch thick.

768
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:15.639
<v Speaker 3>I gotta come back up there and it would be cool,

769
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:17.559
<v Speaker 3>I prove. So, aren't you like just going through your files?

770
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:19.840
<v Speaker 3>We could get so many episodes out of just going

771
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:21.760
<v Speaker 3>through the files and point out cool stuff.

772
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, it's endless in here. It's endless. So anyway, Yeah,

773
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I just happened to turn around and they were there.

774
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.920
<v Speaker 2>So these are all John Green things that were sent

775
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:34.599
<v Speaker 2>to Barbara Watson because she was part of that project.

776
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo.

777
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Will be right back after these messages.

778
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:50.559
<v Speaker 1>So here is your next voicemail.

779
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:54.639
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Cliff and Bobo, it's Chum and big Z from

780
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:57.679
<v Speaker 5>Central Pennsylvania. We've been having a lot of action over

781
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:00.880
<v Speaker 5>here by the Appalachian Mountains. I just wanted to ask you,

782
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:04.039
<v Speaker 5>what do you guys think about the Ohio Hole's filmed

783
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:08.199
<v Speaker 5>by Matt Moneymaker. I think they're probably fake and he

784
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:10.679
<v Speaker 5>just did it to get attention, But what do you

785
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:14.920
<v Speaker 5>guys think? All right, Peace out, keep squatchy, thanks.

786
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Ovis is this Collins ignorant fool?

787
00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:20.639
<v Speaker 1>I think what Matt would say to that is your inferior.

788
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.920
<v Speaker 1>You're a nobody, You've never done anything, Shut up and

789
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 1>go away. I personally do not think that they're fake,

790
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:31.840
<v Speaker 1>because I've heard that sound myself with my own ears

791
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:35.760
<v Speaker 1>eleven different times across the continent. I went through all

792
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:37.519
<v Speaker 1>my field notes, Like when I was writing the book,

793
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I had a section about vocalizations, and obviously I focused

794
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:43.840
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit on recordings and analyses of recordings of

795
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:45.719
<v Speaker 1>those big moaning houses, and so I went through all

796
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:48.360
<v Speaker 1>my field notes to jot down the number of times

797
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd heard it, like in which states, So I can

798
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:53.920
<v Speaker 1>tell you for sure there's some animal in North America

799
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:56.400
<v Speaker 1>that makes that sound. Now, I've never seen a sasquatch,

800
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and I haven't seen a sasquatch making that sound, but

801
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:02.239
<v Speaker 1>I've heard that sound does occur out in nature. I

802
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:03.599
<v Speaker 1>do not think Matt fake those.

803
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:06.760
<v Speaker 3>No, I've heard the same thing like you've heard all

804
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:09.119
<v Speaker 3>over the country. One thing I have noticed it seems

805
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:10.760
<v Speaker 3>that they have shortened them. And I don't know if

806
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:13.320
<v Speaker 3>that's response to people doing those all over the you know,

807
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:16.039
<v Speaker 3>Cottina or or what. But it seems like the ones

808
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I've heard in more recent years are shorter. So many other.

809
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:21.639
<v Speaker 1>People have recorded him too, I mean I think about

810
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>those Trent West Virginia howes. Sometimes they're referred to as

811
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:28.639
<v Speaker 1>the Bruno West Virginia hows There's a great example from Mississippi.

812
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:33.400
<v Speaker 1>There's some that Kirk Brandenburg recorded from southern Washington. There's

813
00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:36.360
<v Speaker 1>other ones from Ohio that other BFRO people recorded.

814
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's another one from that same almost that same

815
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:42.039
<v Speaker 2>general area in Ohio that was just released a couple

816
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:43.639
<v Speaker 2>of years ago, like two years ago. That's on the

817
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:46.880
<v Speaker 2>BFRORO side. I mean, that wasn't anywhere Matt wasn't in

818
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.199
<v Speaker 2>the state when that was when that happened.

819
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's one from North Georgia that I'm aware of,

820
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:55.519
<v Speaker 1>from I think circa twenty ten. I mean, there's there's

821
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:58.880
<v Speaker 1>many that. Obviously, if if sasquatches exist and they make

822
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:01.519
<v Speaker 1>that sound, which obviously believe they do, that's going to

823
00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:03.320
<v Speaker 1>be the sort of sound that's the easiest to hear

824
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:05.639
<v Speaker 1>and record because it's the loudest sound they make, and

825
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:09.360
<v Speaker 1>so it's not as dependent on proximity as quiet sounds would.

826
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Be or as a visual observation would be. So if

827
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:15.559
<v Speaker 1>they're generating all sorts of sounds, obviously the loudest ones

828
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.480
<v Speaker 1>will carry the farthest, and that's the one that you

829
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:19.360
<v Speaker 1>would be the most likely to hear because you don't

830
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:20.760
<v Speaker 1>have to be close to it, and that's going to

831
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.360
<v Speaker 1>be the kind of sound that you're most likely to record.

832
00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:27.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Chris Spencer's recorded examples of that, NAWAC has

833
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:28.800
<v Speaker 1>recorded examples of.

834
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.800
<v Speaker 2>That on their I've recorded one of that, the status

835
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Laus How And how.

836
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Many witnesses have you heard that? You've played that, Ohio

837
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:38.519
<v Speaker 1>How and they're like, oh, yeah, that's what I heard.

838
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 1>Or Man, I can't tell you how many times. Personally,

839
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:43.519
<v Speaker 1>I used to ride around with a CD. Now I

840
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:45.159
<v Speaker 1>have it all on my phone, but I used to

841
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.760
<v Speaker 1>have a CD that I burned like a CDR of

842
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:50.079
<v Speaker 1>sasquatch sounds, and I would keep it in the car

843
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 1>in the forerunner, and many times if I was out

844
00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:54.920
<v Speaker 1>in the woods and ran into people, you know, I'd

845
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.679
<v Speaker 1>strike up a conversation and you know, start asking like

846
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.960
<v Speaker 1>if we're seen or heard anything usual out here. Most

847
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>people have not seen a sasquatch, but many times I'd

848
00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 1>say if you ever heard this, and I would play

849
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:07.599
<v Speaker 1>that sound father, Oh yeah, I've heard that, Like, well,

850
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:08.559
<v Speaker 1>what do you think that is that?

851
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

852
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I just thought it was a you know,

853
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:12.480
<v Speaker 1>fill in the bank. I thought it was a panther,

854
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:14.079
<v Speaker 1>or thought it was this, or thought it was that.

855
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:17.480
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of people that I've talked to spontaneously

856
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:19.960
<v Speaker 1>claim to have heard that sound in the woods at

857
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:20.840
<v Speaker 1>some point.

858
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's funny. I think the most common when people

859
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:27.480
<v Speaker 3>can I think the most componentness is like big cat,

860
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, like it sounds more like a like when

861
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:33.159
<v Speaker 3>people send you like recordings that they have that they

862
00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:37.440
<v Speaker 3>can't identify, it's usually kyos. But when they when they're

863
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:40.320
<v Speaker 3>talking about like something like like like you said that,

864
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:43.199
<v Speaker 3>I've played sounds for people hundreds of times, you know,

865
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.079
<v Speaker 3>like witnesses, and they say, oh, yeah, so I heard,

866
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:48.239
<v Speaker 3>And the lot ones say what I could have I

867
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:50.559
<v Speaker 3>thought it was a big cat? Would they send in

868
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.360
<v Speaker 3>what they record and send it? It's usually a kyo?

869
00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

870
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.840
<v Speaker 2>And I understand the the oh, the tendency for people

871
00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:05.599
<v Speaker 2>to jump at accusing Matt of hoaxing things because he

872
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:10.119
<v Speaker 2>is enthusiastic and he is a high profile bigfoot person

873
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:12.400
<v Speaker 2>and all that sort of stuff. But I've known that

874
00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.239
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, and I do not I don't

875
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:17.280
<v Speaker 2>peg him as a hoaxer, you know, I really don't,

876
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, at all. And I know him pretty well

877
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:23.719
<v Speaker 2>better than most anybody else. Really. You know, there's a

878
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:26.119
<v Speaker 2>handful of people that know Matt as well as I do.

879
00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Bobo is one, and there's a few others, a few others,

880
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:30.519
<v Speaker 2>not very many.

881
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:30.719
<v Speaker 4>Though.

882
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Matt is a really private person, and even though he

883
00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.119
<v Speaker 2>knows a lot of people, he doesn't have wide circles

884
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:39.599
<v Speaker 2>of friends. But I'm one of them. I'm a friend

885
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:42.440
<v Speaker 2>of Matt, and I'm not necessarily coming to his defense

886
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:45.280
<v Speaker 2>in this case because he's a friend. I'm coming to

887
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:48.440
<v Speaker 2>his defense because I think that's a widely misunderstood thing

888
00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:50.679
<v Speaker 2>about Matt. And I mean I say it all the time.

889
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.119
<v Speaker 2>I talk about bigfoot kind of for a living, you know,

890
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.880
<v Speaker 2>as part of my living, I talk about sasquatches, just

891
00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:58.559
<v Speaker 2>like Matt does. And when you are involved in the

892
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:01.519
<v Speaker 2>bigfoot thing and you or asked for your opinion or

893
00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:05.639
<v Speaker 2>thoughts or conclusions about sasquatches, You're going to be wrong

894
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:08.199
<v Speaker 2>kind of a lot. And that's just one of the

895
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:10.920
<v Speaker 2>things that you have to deal with if you're a

896
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:13.199
<v Speaker 2>one of the very few professionals, so to speak, in

897
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:15.559
<v Speaker 2>this field. I mean when I say professional, I don't

898
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:17.400
<v Speaker 2>mean that that we're amazing at it. I mean that's

899
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:19.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of what we do for a living. So I

900
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:23.079
<v Speaker 2>understand the tendency or the inclination to wanted to say that.

901
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I think he hoaxed it because of whatever reason or

902
00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:28.039
<v Speaker 2>very often is his personality, because he has such a

903
00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:31.639
<v Speaker 2>strong type of personality and that rubs some other people

904
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the wrong way. But don't I don't. I know Matt

905
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:36.519
<v Speaker 2>better than most. Like I said, I just do not

906
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:39.320
<v Speaker 2>see him as a hoaxer at all. And if Matt

907
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:43.119
<v Speaker 2>tells me something, I listen very closely because whether you

908
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:45.000
<v Speaker 2>like the guy or not, that doesn't even matter. I

909
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:47.159
<v Speaker 2>happen to like the guy, but a lot of people don't,

910
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:50.400
<v Speaker 2>I understand. But he does know an awful lot about

911
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:52.559
<v Speaker 2>the subject, the people and the animals.

912
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:55.719
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I think people confuse, or at least they

913
00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:58.199
<v Speaker 1>put the cart before the horse in some cases, or

914
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:01.400
<v Speaker 1>put the chicken in the egg in the wrong order.

915
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:06.320
<v Speaker 1>If someone does get attention and so then they'll they'll say, oh, well,

916
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:09.280
<v Speaker 1>they only do that to get attention. It's like, well, no,

917
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:12.679
<v Speaker 1>they got attention because they were already doing that. So

918
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:15.480
<v Speaker 1>people that tend to do good work and publish good

919
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:19.440
<v Speaker 1>work oftentimes gather attention because people go, oh, that's interesting,

920
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:22.760
<v Speaker 1>tell me more. And then you could look and retrospectively

921
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:25.159
<v Speaker 1>or retroactively say oh, well they only did that for

922
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the attention. It's like no, no, no, that's you're in the

923
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:29.760
<v Speaker 1>wrong order. The reason that the attention came is because

924
00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the work was good. And so I think this is

925
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:35.599
<v Speaker 1>one of those cases that it was not that he

926
00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:38.400
<v Speaker 1>did the work solely for the attention. It's that he

927
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:41.760
<v Speaker 1>was doing the work in almost solitude and quietly for

928
00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:44.840
<v Speaker 1>a long time and eventually just gathered attention because people

929
00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:45.760
<v Speaker 1>were interested in it.

930
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

931
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's the natural inclination of our influencer world now,

932
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:53.800
<v Speaker 2>where people and so some people enter the bigfoot world

933
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:56.480
<v Speaker 2>to get attention. Yes, you know a lot of people,

934
00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:59.239
<v Speaker 2>it seems to me, but that's the wrong order. You

935
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:00.760
<v Speaker 2>should do it because you love it, and then good

936
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:02.880
<v Speaker 2>things will come. If that's and I kind of wish

937
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have any attention, but that's you know, my

938
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:07.400
<v Speaker 2>living kind of depends on people knowing about the museum

939
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and all that sort of stuff for the podcast. If

940
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I had my way, if I could do it differently

941
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:15.199
<v Speaker 2>and still make a living, I would be happy that

942
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:17.360
<v Speaker 2>nobody ever heard my name and I could just be

943
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:19.519
<v Speaker 2>doing this quietly by myself somewhere. But that's just not

944
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:21.119
<v Speaker 2>the way things are from my allies.

945
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:23.440
<v Speaker 1>So, and I know this listener sent in a few

946
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:26.000
<v Speaker 1>voicemails over the last year and seems to be pretty

947
00:43:26.039 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 1>active there in Pennsylvania. So I would just say, I

948
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:31.480
<v Speaker 1>totally understand your reserv You should always have reservations and

949
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:34.039
<v Speaker 1>be skeptical about, you know, any evidence look into it.

950
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:36.880
<v Speaker 1>But I would suspect you keep doing what you're doing

951
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:40.840
<v Speaker 1>there in Pennsylvania and those areas, and you're eventually going

952
00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to hear that sound yourself and then you go, okay, well,

953
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:45.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, whatever the case may be, there's some animal

954
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:48.360
<v Speaker 1>out there that's making those sounds, and that recording happens

955
00:43:48.360 --> 00:43:51.039
<v Speaker 1>to be a good example of it. So let me

956
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:55.239
<v Speaker 1>grab I'll grab two more. I think there's two that

957
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:57.760
<v Speaker 1>are good closers, so we'll give them both equal time.

958
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:01.840
<v Speaker 1>But our listener, Scott Peterson asks Cliff, Bobo and Matt

959
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:04.800
<v Speaker 1>as Bigfoot researchers, what's on your bucket list that you

960
00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:06.559
<v Speaker 1>have not had a chance to do yet?

961
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Film one? I think that's a I'd love that full

962
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:12.639
<v Speaker 2>daylight observation one for a minute or two. But if

963
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I could film one, that'd be cool because I could

964
00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:17.519
<v Speaker 2>relive that observation over and over and over again, maybe

965
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:18.360
<v Speaker 2>learn something from it.

966
00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would say seeing one is on that list,

967
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:23.519
<v Speaker 1>I guess in terms of something more practical, because I

968
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:25.880
<v Speaker 1>can't control whether or not ever see one. There are

969
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:28.000
<v Speaker 1>certain places that I would love to go. You know.

970
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Speaking to money Maker, he brought my attention to a

971
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:34.159
<v Speaker 1>place years ago. I think he ended up publishing an

972
00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.639
<v Speaker 1>article about it on the bfro's website. But there's a

973
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.599
<v Speaker 1>little subset of mountains. I think it's considered like Sky

974
00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Island Mountains that's in northern Nevada on the Nevada Idaho

975
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:48.360
<v Speaker 1>border called the Jarbadge Mountains, and Jarbadge is a sort

976
00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:52.960
<v Speaker 1>of anglicized version of an Indigenous word that's Shahabits, which

977
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:56.000
<v Speaker 1>means something like the monster and the canyon or the

978
00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:58.440
<v Speaker 1>creature that lurks in the canyon. Or something like that.

979
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:02.320
<v Speaker 1>But despite being Nevada. You know, I'll post some videos

980
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in the show notes so you guys can see. They're

981
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.639
<v Speaker 1>really beautiful, forested mountains, a lot of water. I think

982
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the nearest town's like four hours away. There's one there

983
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:16.079
<v Speaker 1>is a town of Jarbage, but it's like a single

984
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:18.599
<v Speaker 1>gas station with a single pump and just like maybe

985
00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:21.039
<v Speaker 1>a dozen people that live there. It's pretty remote, but

986
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:24.199
<v Speaker 1>there are reports. I've read and seen reports from there.

987
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:27.960
<v Speaker 1>People do occasionally go in there, specifically to look for sasquatches,

988
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:29.880
<v Speaker 1>but I think that's been pretty few and far between.

989
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:31.719
<v Speaker 1>But it seems to be a place with a long

990
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:36.360
<v Speaker 1>history that extends into indigenous traditions. There are modern witnesses.

991
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:38.400
<v Speaker 1>It's in the middle of nowhere. It looks gorgeous. It

992
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:40.880
<v Speaker 1>just seems like it'd be a really singular experience in

993
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:44.159
<v Speaker 1>the Lower forty eight. Besides, what's that other giant wilderness?

994
00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Is it Bob Marshall, the one that's the biggest roadless

995
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:48.199
<v Speaker 1>wilderness now?

996
00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, I think that's in Montana.

997
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:52.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is.

998
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Kind of like one of those places that Jarbage area.

999
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:57.159
<v Speaker 1>So that's always been a big bucket list for me,

1000
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:00.360
<v Speaker 1>just because it's so unique, So that's what I'll go with.

1001
00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Ah, there's so many Well, yeah, obviously film one and

1002
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:09.320
<v Speaker 3>then I guess in the same breath, see a good

1003
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:13.960
<v Speaker 3>daylight setting or a great sighting under like good lighting conditions,

1004
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:17.960
<v Speaker 3>like I extended, not just a glimpse, but like actually

1005
00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:22.199
<v Speaker 3>see like the face and facial features and expression and

1006
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:24.760
<v Speaker 3>muscles moving like that'd be awesome as long as it's

1007
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:25.599
<v Speaker 3>moving away from me.

1008
00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Wiseley said, stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with

1009
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Cliff and Bobo will be right back after these messages, So.

1010
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:42.280
<v Speaker 1>This will probably be a good one to end on.

1011
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I know we've touched on this sort of thing before,

1012
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:47.280
<v Speaker 1>but it's been a while, and always want to try

1013
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to cater to to some degree the up and comers.

1014
00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:53.199
<v Speaker 1>And so this last question comes from James Reid, and

1015
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:56.079
<v Speaker 1>he says, Hey, guys, I'm James, a high schooler on

1016
00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:59.119
<v Speaker 1>the east side of South Dakota. I've always believed in Bigfoot,

1017
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and I've become a lot more more interested in the

1018
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:03.880
<v Speaker 1>subject because of your podcast. But I've always wondered where

1019
00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:07.159
<v Speaker 1>do I start in terms of researching what resources would

1020
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:09.519
<v Speaker 1>be helpful to me to learn more about the subject,

1021
00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and how do I start contributing? Thank you for putting

1022
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:13.960
<v Speaker 1>on such a great podcast.

1023
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, for the first thing, you're doing the right thing.

1024
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:18.119
<v Speaker 3>Listening to this podcast is the best thing you can do.

1025
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Starting with amen, I would disagree, Well, if you enter

1026
00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:27.639
<v Speaker 1>the online space, where else are you going to? You know,

1027
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:30.559
<v Speaker 1>this is sort of like the it's a roadmap books?

1028
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wouldn't. I don't think the online space is

1029
00:47:33.239 --> 00:47:34.199
<v Speaker 2>the best entry point.

1030
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:36.679
<v Speaker 1>It's not. But like, if you're a young person and

1031
00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:38.639
<v Speaker 1>you're putting a toe in there, where are you going

1032
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:41.920
<v Speaker 1>to go? Search bigfoot books? Good luck, because you're going

1033
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to find you're going to find fifty gazillion results, and

1034
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:49.119
<v Speaker 1>ninety percent of those are going to be AI written

1035
00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:52.079
<v Speaker 1>self published things on Amazon. So how do you discern?

1036
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Like you have to have some sort of a guide.

1037
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:57.639
<v Speaker 1>And I think, at least for myself, that's what I

1038
00:47:57.679 --> 00:47:59.599
<v Speaker 1>try to do, try to be is like, hey, we're

1039
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:03.320
<v Speaker 1>in this lanelandscape. It's fairly unmapped. I mean, we've got

1040
00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:07.239
<v Speaker 1>some great cartographers over time to extend the metaphor, you know,

1041
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.679
<v Speaker 1>John Green Krantz, on and on and on, but for

1042
00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:13.320
<v Speaker 1>today is like, well I got to find some voice.

1043
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I can trust to help guide me through this landscape,

1044
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:17.719
<v Speaker 1>to say, hey, there's a pit over there, a lot

1045
00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:19.480
<v Speaker 1>of people fall into it. You don't want to fall

1046
00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:22.519
<v Speaker 1>into that. Trust me over here, there's a good watering source,

1047
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:24.960
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. So I do think this is a good

1048
00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:28.840
<v Speaker 1>starting point because we are constantly pointing towards like, yeah,

1049
00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:31.199
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of books. Here are our recommended ones,

1050
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:33.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, James, I could point you to our book

1051
00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:37.280
<v Speaker 1>recommendations episode, or we say like, here's the researchers whose

1052
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:39.800
<v Speaker 1>voices we trust, we think do good work. Or we

1053
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:42.840
<v Speaker 1>try to highlight the witnesses that we think are insightful

1054
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:45.360
<v Speaker 1>and credible and reliable, and on and on. So I

1055
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:48.800
<v Speaker 1>do think it's a good starting point because otherwise you

1056
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:53.960
<v Speaker 1>could stumble into a gazillion different traps that are indistinguishable

1057
00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:55.760
<v Speaker 1>from reliable resources.

1058
00:48:55.800 --> 00:48:56.000
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1059
00:48:56.639 --> 00:48:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well that is definitely true, because we're not going

1060
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:00.480
<v Speaker 2>to steer you wrong. We're always is going to tell

1061
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:04.079
<v Speaker 2>you the truth, and we're not going to sensatialize anything.

1062
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:06.719
<v Speaker 2>And if you listen long enough to the I don't

1063
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:09.559
<v Speaker 2>know even know how many episode what episode is this, Matt, I.

1064
00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Think this is going to be episode three? Hundred and

1065
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:13.199
<v Speaker 1>seventy nine.

1066
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:15.280
<v Speaker 3>Wow. Geez.

1067
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you listen to us long enough, there's gonna

1068
00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:19.519
<v Speaker 2>be a lot of interesting tidbits to pull out. So yeah,

1069
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:22.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe we are a good map, a map to the

1070
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:26.159
<v Speaker 2>territory of where you should be looking. We don't spend

1071
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:28.719
<v Speaker 2>a lot of time talking about where you shouldn't be going.

1072
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:31.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we talked about generalities, but there's a

1073
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:33.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of specifics, and that's not really our thing. If

1074
00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:35.119
<v Speaker 2>you want a gossip, you can go to Facebook, I guess,

1075
00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:38.280
<v Speaker 2>but that would be something I would point out, is

1076
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:41.920
<v Speaker 2>that mini online resources. And I guess maybe some podcasts.

1077
00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't really know, because everybody knows. I don't listen

1078
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:49.159
<v Speaker 2>to bigfoot podcasts. I don't really watch Bigfoot documentaries. I

1079
00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:51.559
<v Speaker 2>don't watch Bigfoot TV or anything like that. But I'm

1080
00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:53.159
<v Speaker 2>guessing that a lot of the stuff, from what I

1081
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:56.679
<v Speaker 2>see online on the social media is more or less

1082
00:49:56.679 --> 00:50:00.559
<v Speaker 2>talking about the people. So I would recommend that anybody

1083
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:03.880
<v Speaker 2>coming into this field, whoever, whoever you're going to, whoever

1084
00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:07.199
<v Speaker 2>you're going to for a source of information, make sure

1085
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:09.920
<v Speaker 2>that they're talking about the animals, not the people.

1086
00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:13.760
<v Speaker 3>That's that's that's the biggest one right there.

1087
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:16.360
<v Speaker 2>People come up like oh, this guy has a siding

1088
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:19.760
<v Speaker 2>report or this this person received a siding report. That's fine,

1089
00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:23.000
<v Speaker 2>but people is the people should not be the focus.

1090
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:27.960
<v Speaker 2>They should be a side detail legendum.

1091
00:50:28.119 --> 00:50:29.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I I do kind of feel like

1092
00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that's the responsibility, the obligation. But also the opportunity is like, well,

1093
00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:37.400
<v Speaker 1>we get a chance to talk to each other. People listen,

1094
00:50:38.079 --> 00:50:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and so the opportunity here is like, well, hey, here's

1095
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the things that we're the most interested in, that we

1096
00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:45.000
<v Speaker 1>learn the most from, that we get the most excited

1097
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:47.679
<v Speaker 1>about because we think there's something really to it. And

1098
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:50.000
<v Speaker 1>so that that does kind of at least serve the

1099
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:53.119
<v Speaker 1>purpose of hopefully being a guide for people who are

1100
00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:55.280
<v Speaker 1>new to this subject to say like where should I look,

1101
00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:58.599
<v Speaker 1>what should I be reading? What should I be digging into?

1102
00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:02.360
<v Speaker 1>And so again we did on the Patreon side, we

1103
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:05.159
<v Speaker 1>did a long sort of like book recommendations list that

1104
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I re released on this feed for regular listeners. And

1105
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:10.840
<v Speaker 1>then we've done a couple. I think we did one

1106
00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:12.880
<v Speaker 1>episode that was pretty lengthy called so you want to

1107
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:16.360
<v Speaker 1>be a Squatcher that was devoted exactly to this question, like,

1108
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:18.480
<v Speaker 1>so you're new to this. You want to get started,

1109
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:21.320
<v Speaker 1>here's here's some tips and guidelines. Maybe I can get

1110
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.280
<v Speaker 1>that released on the main feed at some point, but

1111
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:27.920
<v Speaker 1>just peppered throughout the previous three hundred and seventy plus

1112
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:30.760
<v Speaker 1>episodes on this main show, there's a lot of recommendations

1113
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:34.119
<v Speaker 1>and highlighting of news articles and books and papers and

1114
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:37.519
<v Speaker 1>classic cases and researchers and on and on and on.

1115
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:40.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's so hard at this point to say, oh, yeah,

1116
00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:42.400
<v Speaker 1>go listen to these five episodes, because it's more like, yeah,

1117
00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:44.760
<v Speaker 1>go listen to any episode and there will be some

1118
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:48.119
<v Speaker 1>suggestion somewhere, because you know, the only thing we like

1119
00:51:48.239 --> 00:51:50.639
<v Speaker 1>more than finding something that gets us fired up is

1120
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:53.599
<v Speaker 1>telling you folks, you listeners about it. You know, we

1121
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:56.320
<v Speaker 1>love talking about the things that we've learned from or

1122
00:51:56.360 --> 00:51:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the things that we're learning. So there's a lot of

1123
00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:01.760
<v Speaker 1>that over the last set and a half years basically

1124
00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:02.800
<v Speaker 1>of this podcast.

1125
00:52:03.679 --> 00:52:05.239
<v Speaker 3>You know, look at it. I was just looking at

1126
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Jarbadge on the on the map, like I've totally I

1127
00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:10.119
<v Speaker 3>totally know that place is. I wanted to go there

1128
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:13.719
<v Speaker 3>for the longest time. I've watched all the YouTube videos

1129
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:15.719
<v Speaker 3>on it, and like when people go in there and

1130
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:17.960
<v Speaker 3>they drave because it's so that's the most isolated town

1131
00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:19.320
<v Speaker 3>like in the lower forty eight.

1132
00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:22.559
<v Speaker 1>I guess yeah, and it's just a cool neat little town.

1133
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:25.639
<v Speaker 3>And but I remember watching that going like, there's that's

1134
00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:29.079
<v Speaker 3>gotta be such good squatch how type because you know,

1135
00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:31.360
<v Speaker 3>so much of the year it's so dry. There's not

1136
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:33.679
<v Speaker 3>gonna be like a ton of me. There's the river,

1137
00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:35.840
<v Speaker 3>but I'm not sure how much that flows you around,

1138
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:38.360
<v Speaker 3>but there's gotta be like springs or something that it's

1139
00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:41.840
<v Speaker 3>gonna be just you know, like a really high probability

1140
00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:43.719
<v Speaker 3>of a squatch hitting that spring. You know.

1141
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I would be great to talk to John Maintinski about it,

1142
00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:50.320
<v Speaker 1>because even just the Wikipedia entry says that Jarbage is

1143
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the name derived from the Shoshone language meaning devil. Natives

1144
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:57.599
<v Speaker 1>believe the nearby hills were haunted, But some of the

1145
00:52:57.679 --> 00:53:01.440
<v Speaker 1>more in depth like etymological writings that I read online

1146
00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:04.079
<v Speaker 1>said it it meant something like the thing that lurks

1147
00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:06.400
<v Speaker 1>in the canyon or the creature that lurks in the canyon,

1148
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:09.119
<v Speaker 1>something like that, but that it's given that it's of

1149
00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:12.239
<v Speaker 1>Shoshone origin. I bet Manzinski would have something to say

1150
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:16.039
<v Speaker 1>about that. But there are modern reports that are pretty compelling.

1151
00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:19.119
<v Speaker 1>I remember reading a few that were submitted to the

1152
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:22.199
<v Speaker 1>BFROS database when I was a member, But maybe that's

1153
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:24.199
<v Speaker 1>what it turned Matt onto it. I just remember Matt

1154
00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:26.360
<v Speaker 1>bringing up to me and I'd never heard of it before,

1155
00:53:26.440 --> 00:53:29.159
<v Speaker 1>and this was probably like twenty ten or something like that,

1156
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:31.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty eleven, and then ever since then, it's like, yeah,

1157
00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:33.519
<v Speaker 1>that's a bucket list spot for sure.

1158
00:53:34.440 --> 00:53:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Have you watched those videos on the town?

1159
00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I've seen a number of videos where people

1160
00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:41.119
<v Speaker 1>go in there. I think I think the closest place

1161
00:53:41.159 --> 00:53:43.360
<v Speaker 1>you could fly into is Salt Lake City. I think

1162
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.159
<v Speaker 1>that would be the best place to fly into and

1163
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:47.880
<v Speaker 1>either in a vehicle or you know, if you had

1164
00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:49.840
<v Speaker 1>access to a vehicle and then drive in. But you

1165
00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:52.000
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of people carry in their own gas

1166
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.679
<v Speaker 1>and then they refuel it that there's one gas station

1167
00:53:54.760 --> 00:53:57.719
<v Speaker 1>in town that's just one pump, and they'll fill up

1168
00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:00.239
<v Speaker 1>multiple cans to be able to explore the mountains, because

1169
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:04.519
<v Speaker 1>again it's like four hours to the next town from Jarbage,

1170
00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:07.159
<v Speaker 1>the four hours to the next place that has any

1171
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:10.519
<v Speaker 1>sort of amenities, gas, food, whatever, So just seems like

1172
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:13.239
<v Speaker 1>could be a real as close to like a real

1173
00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:15.280
<v Speaker 1>adventure as you could get in the lower forty eight

1174
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:19.199
<v Speaker 1>pretty much. But I digress. That should be it for

1175
00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the August twenty twenty six Q and A. And then

1176
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:25.239
<v Speaker 1>we have a pile of questions from our beloved members

1177
00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the pigeons there to get to so people can join

1178
00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:30.159
<v Speaker 1>us over there or even this young listener, you know,

1179
00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:34.599
<v Speaker 1>if you're interested in more recommendations, more like tips for

1180
00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:38.280
<v Speaker 1>beginning bigfooters, because I love alliteration. There's a lot of

1181
00:54:38.280 --> 00:54:40.599
<v Speaker 1>that on that side too. But anyway, we can jump

1182
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:43.599
<v Speaker 1>to those questions and if, as always, if you're interested

1183
00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:45.000
<v Speaker 1>there we'll be a link in the show notes. For
