82
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.840

<v Speaker 3>A brown carpet.

92
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 4>There's going to be a brown carpet.

93
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.439

<v Speaker 2>the brown Note bobes.

95

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>need to get a tuxt all right, Well anyway, Yeah,

99
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>So Thursday night at seven o'clock on May twenty second,

100
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>the Cjay Canyon World Premiere at a theater called the

101
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Kiggins Cedar, a historic kiggensater in downtown Vancouver, Washington. I

102
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 2>think it's on Main Street. But man, it's going to

103
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>be a good time. All sorts of good people are

104
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 2>going to be there. But this is all focused on

105
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 2>the c Jay Canyon. So, Eli, you filmed it, you

106
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 2>edited it. What, Why in the world are you involved

107
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>in this or how in the world are you involved

108
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 2>in this?

109
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 4>Gosh? The short answer is that I I worked for

110
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 4>Small Town Monsters and that was part of my job,

111
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 4>was to make that movie. But the longer answer is, I, uh,

112
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 4>back when Seth did on the Trail of Bigfoot the Discovery,

113
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 4>which was all about the Olympic project. That was the

114
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 4>first STM shoot I ever did, and that was the

115
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 4>first time I met Mark Marcel and me and Mark

116
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 4>just hit it off. So naturally, you know, Mark is

117
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 4>super easy to get along with. We both have very

118
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 4>similar interests in history and a little bit of you know, gossip.

119
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 4>As well. And you know, so over the years, you know,

120
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 4>as I did more and more stuff in the Pacific Northwest,

121
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 4>and I did my Road to Discovery series, and you know,

122
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 4>I was coming up like every few months, I always

123
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 4>made time to see Mark. So it just really felt natural,

124
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, because initially, like Seth was talking about how

125
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 4>he wanted to do Ape Canyon. But as the discussion

126
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 4>kind of between you know, Seth wanted to make it,

127
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 4>and then Seth wasn't able to come out, so he

128
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 4>was gonna have me film it. But as the discussion

129
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 4>kind of evolved between me, Seth and Mark, it kind

130
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 4>of became clear that with my relationship with Mark, it

131
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 4>made the most sense for me to kind of tackle it.

132
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 4>And since I was already going to be filming it

133
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 4>and going up to the canyon and going to all

134
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 4>these places and conducting all the interviews, it just made

135
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 4>the most sense for me to kind of tackle the

136
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 4>story in whatever way it kind of revealed itself to me.

137
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 4>So that's kind of how I got involved.

138
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Don't take this personally, but you're kind of a newcomer

139
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:45.240
<v Speaker 2>on the Bigfoot scene, yeah, because you haven't been involved

140
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>that long, really, and how long have you been involved.

141
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.879
<v Speaker 4>I started my podcast in twenty eighteen, but I didn't

142
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.560
<v Speaker 4>start doing field stuff till twenty twenty.

143
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so five years. Yeah, you're pretty new on the

144
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>grand scheme of things, you know. Oh yeah, you were

145
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 2>aware of the Ape Canyon incident before this or were

146
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 2>you not?

147
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

148
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 4>I was for sure. It was one of the first

149
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 4>episodes of my show Crypti Campfire that I think we

150
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 4>ever did was about Ape Canyon because that's like, that

151
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 4>is the Bigfoot story and it's funny. After I made

152
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:24.879
<v Speaker 4>the movie, I went back and listened to it, and

153
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.839
<v Speaker 4>I was like, Wow, almost everything I said about Ape

154
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.439
<v Speaker 4>Canyon was just completely wrong.

155
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Bigfooting. Yeah, I think I said it on

156
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>this podcast a few weeks ago that you know, when

157
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 2>you talk about bigfoot for a living or even as

158
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.279
<v Speaker 2>a hobby of you're bound to say things that are

159
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>incorrect quite often.

160
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 4>No, definitely. I mean that's why I kind of like

161
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 4>my podcast so much, because you know, it started off

162
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 4>as like a hobby, a mild interest, and then over

163
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 4>the course of years and years, because we still do

164
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 4>the podcast from time to time, and as I you

165
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 4>kind of see my growth as I get more and

166
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 4>more into the topic. The podcast is really like a

167
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.279
<v Speaker 4>record of my thoughts on Bigfoot and how they changed

168
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.560
<v Speaker 4>over time, and as I gotten involved with field research

169
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 4>and interviewing people and meeting pretty much all the popular,

170
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 4>well known Bigfoot researchers. I don't want to say I've

171
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 4>met like every Bigfoot researcher because that's just not true.

172
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 4>And like you mentioned Larry Lund, that's someone I've never

173
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 4>met before, you know, But it's just interesting going back

174
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.559
<v Speaker 4>and listening to like my thoughts on Bigfoot in twenty

175
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 4>twenty one, you know, and you can hear how I

176
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 4>get jaded over time.

177
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm sorry if I had any influence on that.

178
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>So now.

179
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 4>The topic has a way of doing that to you.

180
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.440
<v Speaker 4>But you know, that's why that's why I was so

181
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.480
<v Speaker 4>excited to do Ape Canyon though, because you know, Mark

182
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 4>is really one of those special guys. You know, Mark

183
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:08.200
<v Speaker 4>is just this He's an incredible, incredible person. You know,

184
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 4>you have this line in the movie Cliff where like

185
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.519
<v Speaker 4>there's a fine line between genius and insanity and Mark

186
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 4>is doing a wheelie on that line all the time,

187
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 4>and that's absolutely true, and it really sunk in for

188
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 4>me when we went up to the canyon and I

189
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 4>saw Mark going down in the canyon and I was

190
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 4>just like, I'm gonna have to do this, Like I

191
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 4>can't shake him out like this, I have to get

192
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 4>these shots. I have to go down there, you know.

193
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 4>I didn't want to go down.

194
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 2>No, it's horrifying. And to see Mark probably wearing like,

195
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, slip on shoes, carrying an eighty pound backpack,

196
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.039
<v Speaker 2>just going face first down like forward, not even backing,

197
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, going backwards down down the rope, walking forward

198
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 2>down the rope. And I don't know how old Mark is.

199
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.799
<v Speaker 2>He's ageless, he could be could be forty nine, he

200
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 2>could be eighty seven. I have no idea how old

201
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Mark is. And it's like, you can't let that guy

202
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 2>go down and you not good and you're you're a spry,

203
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 2>young bucket of what twenty eight years old? I have

204
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 2>no idea how you are either, But you can't let

205
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>this guy who's twice your age outshine you. But yet

206
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 2>he does. He outshines us all.

207
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:17.879
<v Speaker 4>Oh, he does absolutely.

208
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 2>You know.

209
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.320
<v Speaker 4>My favorite is when we're hiking up to the canyon

210
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 4>and he's like we've been hiking maybe ten minutes, and

211
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 4>he goes, oh, I need a break, I need a breather,

212
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.200
<v Speaker 4>and he busts out a cigarette and starts smoking, and

213
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 4>it's like, I'm not sure that if that's a breather.

214
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.080
<v Speaker 2>It's those pure oxygen cigarettes he smokes.

215
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, right, he's a beast. When we were out, he

216
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:42.960
<v Speaker 3>was like getting rained on. He never put on a

217
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.679
<v Speaker 3>jacket or anything. He just wants like same like cotton

218
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 3>flannel shirt. And it was winter freezing, like you know,

219
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:51.799
<v Speaker 3>the mountains pouring rain like like verge of you know,

220
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 3>thy snow, and there's Mark freaking just soaking wet and

221
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 3>just sitting in a chair outside, doesn't didn't face and

222
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 3>he slept in those same clothes this morning.

223
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.519
<v Speaker 4>Still went and hiked all day. Yep, he's a madiac.

224
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 4>When we went up there, he didn't even bring a

225
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:13.279
<v Speaker 4>sleeping bag. He brought a blanket and slept on the rocks. Yeah,

226
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 4>I was like, what are you doing?

227
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:16.399
<v Speaker 3>He's a beast.

228
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, tell us about the trip, tell us about the

229
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 2>hike up, what you guys found up there. Some of

230
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 2>the stuff that is not going to be seen in

231
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 2>the footage, because I'm sure there's a there's fifty stories

232
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes. Up there.

233
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:29.679
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I.

234
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Know, water is always an issue. Tell us about your

235
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 2>experience up there at the at the site and getting

236
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 2>down to the location and all that sort of fun stuff.

237
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, you know, it's like a six mile hike

238
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 4>or five and a half miles from where you park

239
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.200
<v Speaker 4>your car and you hike up to the to the

240
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 4>top of the canyon there. And I brought my brother,

241
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 4>I brought my friend Tyler Hall, and Mark and Brad

242
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 4>were there, Alex Pettakov was there, Shane kurse and was there,

243
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 4>and Cindy and Jared Cadell were there, and then obviously

244
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 4>the Mitchell brothers and we all kind of had different

245
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 4>paces going up the mountain because you know, I you know,

246
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:14.960
<v Speaker 4>if I'm honest, I'm not in the best of shape.

247
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 4>But you know, we're also carrying super heavy packs. I mean,

248
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.440
<v Speaker 4>we're packing for multiple days of camping up there. We're

249
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 4>also packing all of our film gear up there, and

250
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.679
<v Speaker 4>so it took us a good three four hours to

251
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.240
<v Speaker 4>get up there. And it's also July because we wanted

252
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 4>to be there for the exact one hundred year anniversary.

253
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 4>And so like when you're watching the movie, I think

254
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 4>I say this in the narration. But when you're watching

255
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.039
<v Speaker 4>Mark at the cabin site in the movie, that is

256
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.840
<v Speaker 4>July tenth, twenty twenty four. I think that's exactly one

257
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 4>hundred years to the day after the fact. So that

258
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.759
<v Speaker 4>was a pretty incredible thing to do. But so we

259
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.519
<v Speaker 4>hiked up on the ninth and that was just brutally exhausting.

260
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 4>And then of course, you know, we run out of

261
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:08.080
<v Speaker 4>water on the way up there, and we're like, well,

262
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 4>Mark did say there was a spring, and you know,

263
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 4>we're thinking it's going to be close by or something,

264
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 4>and we get up there and it's like, no, the

265
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 4>spring is another half a mile away and there's no shade.

266
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 4>We're like, oh gosh. And you know the spring, I'm

267
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.000
<v Speaker 4>not sure if you've been to that exact spring, because

268
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.320
<v Speaker 4>there's like a sometimes there's this water runoff where you

269
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 4>can get it. That's get water that's closer to the camp.

270
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but yeah, you have to wait for the for

271
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>the glacier above to heat up and melt, and then

272
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 2>it's glacial silty water, you know, that kind of grayish,

273
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 2>sort of semi translucent water, and it only runs for

274
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>a couple hours until it gets too cold again and

275
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.080
<v Speaker 2>the glacier freezes up right not Yeah, so I have

276
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.080
<v Speaker 2>been to that spring that I know exactly, the one

277
00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about, the one that runs all the time

278
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.399
<v Speaker 2>another half mile or more away.

279
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you get that amazing view of Mount Adams.

280
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

281
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:12.440
<v Speaker 4>It's stunning, it is. So went there, refilled our water,

282
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 4>came back, and we basically just kind of relaxed for

283
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.039
<v Speaker 4>the rest of the day as we waited for you know,

284
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Mark took another couple hours to get up there, and

285
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, and that was the that was the funny part,

286
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.200
<v Speaker 4>is like we didn't know where camp was, you know,

287
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 4>because we didn't have anyone to guide us. And like

288
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.000
<v Speaker 4>the Mitchell brothers, I mean, those guys are you want

289
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 4>to talk about tanks? Those guys are tanks. I mean

290
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:38.240
<v Speaker 4>they're absolutely insane. I mean they were freaking running up

291
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.399
<v Speaker 4>that mountain. I was like, dude, I don't I don't

292
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.639
<v Speaker 4>get that. I don't get that at all.

293
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, the Mitchell brothers, of course, they're the

294
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 2>great great grandsons of one of the miners, and they're

295
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.799
<v Speaker 2>they're the guys who are absolutely insane because they rediscovered

296
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 2>the mine shaft and and you know, Mark had been

297
00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 2>up there a number of times and got close to

298
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the mind. The mind entrance, I should say. It's not

299
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.759
<v Speaker 2>really a shaft, I guess, but it took somebody with

300
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the brazen, nonsensical attitude. If I can do anything to

301
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.159
<v Speaker 2>rediscover the mine entrance, which is exactly what the Mitchell

302
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:19.799
<v Speaker 2>brothers did, right, Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond

303
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>with Cliff and Bogo will be right back after these messages.

304
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.399
<v Speaker 2>So three to six months doesn't seem like a long

305
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.919
<v Speaker 2>time right in bigfoot Land. It's not very long because

306
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 2>we've been looking for sasquatches for decades and decades and decades.

307
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 2>But when you think about what can happen in three

308
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.440
<v Speaker 2>to six months, like what would you do in three

309
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>to six months. I'm going to give me a six

310
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 2>months go squatching squad, of course, of course, and how

311
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 2>much do you think is going to get done during

312
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>that time? And squatching you're gonna see one in six months?

313
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:53.879
<v Speaker 2>Probably not, But in three to six months, what you

314
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.240
<v Speaker 2>can see if you're not going to see a sasquatch

315
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:01.360
<v Speaker 2>is thicker, fuller hair regrown from Hymn's our sponsor Hymns.

316
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Not bad for just three to six months.

317
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.559
<v Speaker 3>What if you start using HYMNS now in six months,

318
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 3>just imagine that thick, full crop up there.

319
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because HYMNS will give you a convenient access to

323
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:25.039
<v Speaker 3>It's clinically proven ingredients and they use like finesteride and monoxaville.

324
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 2>And I love that. I did no doctor visits because

<v Speaker 1>Restrictions apply. See website for full details and important safety information.

350
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we went down there on the tenth and that

351
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.519
<v Speaker 4>was just a crew of Mark myself, Tyler, my brother,

352
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.599
<v Speaker 4>and the two Mitchell brothers. We went down there. We

353
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 4>did some filming and that makes it into the movie.

354
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.640
<v Speaker 4>You know, Tyler. Tyler had a bad accident up there

355
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.039
<v Speaker 4>and ended up cutting his arm open down to the

356
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:08.799
<v Speaker 4>artery and that was like super terrifying situation. Luckily, Tyler

357
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.359
<v Speaker 4>is okay. You know, he ended up getting eight stitches

358
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.119
<v Speaker 4>in his arm. He's got this gnarly scar from it,

359
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.359
<v Speaker 4>but overall he's fine. But that makes it into the

360
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.839
<v Speaker 4>movie just kind of highlight you know, anything can happen

361
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.119
<v Speaker 4>down in Ape Canyon. You know, it's when you're there

362
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.680
<v Speaker 4>in person, you can see how insane of an incline

363
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.799
<v Speaker 4>or decline that going down into the canyon actually is.

364
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:38.440
<v Speaker 4>But the cameras don't show that. They don't the cameras

365
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:43.359
<v Speaker 4>don't capture what it's like being there. So I felt

366
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.480
<v Speaker 4>like in the movie we needed something to highlight the

367
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 4>danger of doing that. And you know, it's unfortunate what

368
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.759
<v Speaker 4>happened to Tyler, but it's also like there's more than

369
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:55.920
<v Speaker 4>one danger. You know, you can you can slip and

370
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.519
<v Speaker 4>fall and die, which is what I thought was gonna happen. Thankfully,

371
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.440
<v Speaker 4>no one's up and fell down to their death down

372
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:05.480
<v Speaker 4>an Ape canyon. But then you're in, you're at the

373
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker 4>cabin site, and you think everything's okay, and it's like, no,

374
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.240
<v Speaker 4>you still have to be vigilant because anything can happen,

375
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.680
<v Speaker 4>and you could. You could end up cutting your arm open,

376
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:17.279
<v Speaker 4>and you could. There's there's no way to get help

377
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:17.839
<v Speaker 4>down there.

378
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.359
<v Speaker 2>No in the cabin site itself, it's like, oh, it's

379
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.759
<v Speaker 2>a cabin site. There's probably a fifty foot flat area

380
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.279
<v Speaker 2>where an old cabin used to be. It's like, no, no,

381
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:28.440
<v Speaker 2>there's there's there's When you're actually standing at the cabin site.

382
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know about your experience down there,

383
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.279
<v Speaker 2>but for me, it's like, uh, looking around, thinking there's

384
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:39.160
<v Speaker 2>no cabin site. There's just some complete badass morons put

385
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.960
<v Speaker 2>a put a cabin here. Like the last place you

386
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.880
<v Speaker 2>should put a cabin anywhere on the planet is on

387
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 2>this slope above that that precipice, in this crazy spot.

388
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.799
<v Speaker 2>It's like, like, who in the world would ever dream

389
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:57.039
<v Speaker 2>of doing that? Just monstrous bad asses who would just

390
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>look laughing at death, you know, basically. And boy, I'll

391
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:02.960
<v Speaker 2>tell you the school system must not have been very

392
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.039
<v Speaker 2>good back in the teens and twenties, because like, what

393
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of person would put that stuff there? Just extraordinarily

394
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 2>brave and foolhardy people.

395
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'll say I was at the top of Ape Canyon.

396
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.079
<v Speaker 4>I watched Mark go down, I watched the Mitchell Brothers

397
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:21.440
<v Speaker 4>go down. I'm getting ready to go down. I throw

398
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:25.680
<v Speaker 4>my backpack on and I had a sling bag for

399
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 4>the camera because I wanted to be able to tuck it,

400
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:31.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, safely, so there wasn't any chance of me

401
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:35.119
<v Speaker 4>dropping the camera. And I had set everything down because

402
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:36.880
<v Speaker 4>it's a bit of a hike to get to the

403
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.960
<v Speaker 4>top of Pumics. But and so I set everything down.

404
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.680
<v Speaker 4>I throw my backpack on and it catches the strap

405
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:49.119
<v Speaker 4>for the sling bag and the camera freaking flies all

406
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:52.599
<v Speaker 4>the way around me and flings off right down into

407
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.119
<v Speaker 4>the canyon. And this is like sus like four thousand

408
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.480
<v Speaker 4>dollars camera and I'm just watching it tumble down, and

409
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.839
<v Speaker 4>I was like, great, there goes the movie. And you know,

410
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:08.400
<v Speaker 4>there was radio communication between me and Braiden, and Braiden

411
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.160
<v Speaker 4>was like, oh, I'll go look for it. And I

412
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.440
<v Speaker 4>was like, are you sure, like cause you guys are

413
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:15.079
<v Speaker 4>off to the left and this thing went down to

414
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:17.200
<v Speaker 4>the right and I was like, I didn't see it.

415
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.079
<v Speaker 4>Stop moving. I'm pretty sure it fell all the way down.

416
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:23.119
<v Speaker 4>He's like, no, I'll go look. And him and Jared

417
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 4>just start, you know, free handing it. Not even free

418
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.200
<v Speaker 4>handing it. They're just walking across, you know, all the

419
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.039
<v Speaker 4>slate and the shale, you know, and they're just and

420
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 4>they're like, oh, we found the camera. We found the camera,

421
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.519
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, you guys are insane. And so

422
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:43.480
<v Speaker 4>when you see that and you're like, so these are

423
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:47.640
<v Speaker 4>the great grandsons of Leroy Perry Smith, who was one

424
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.759
<v Speaker 4>of the original Minders, You're like, oh, it all makes sense.

425
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:54.119
<v Speaker 4>Of course they would make a cabin here because that's

426
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:55.759
<v Speaker 4>just who they are, you know.

427
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it takes people like that to not know

428
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:04.519
<v Speaker 2>any better. But no, but honestly, they're they're great, adventurous people.

429
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Like I met the grandsons, we did a special event

430
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.200
<v Speaker 2>at the NABC. Fantastic individuals, every single one of them.

431
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that they got to go down and are

432
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.880
<v Speaker 2>going to be featured in the movie.

433
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Oh and just genuine people too.

434
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, real solid, neat people. Yeah. What other though, Did

435
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 2>you make it down to the mind Entrance?

436
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.599
<v Speaker 4>I did not, actually, because everything that happened with Tyler.

437
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.440
<v Speaker 4>We were getting ready to go down to the mind Shaft,

438
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:34.240
<v Speaker 4>and that's when disaster struck with Tyler, so that kind

439
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 4>of put a damper on those plans. We never actually

440
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.079
<v Speaker 4>I never actually saw the mine. I will probably never

441
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:45.079
<v Speaker 4>see the mine in my life because I don't think

442
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to go back down there.

443
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask you like that, do you

444
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.359
<v Speaker 2>do you have a draw to go back down? Like

445
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I know you just you just answered the question here,

446
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 2>but like how painful is that to know that you're

447
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:56.079
<v Speaker 2>not going to do that.

448
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.119
<v Speaker 4>I'm okay, I can live with it. I was literally

449
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:04.000
<v Speaker 4>having stressed dreams leading up to it, you know, Like

450
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:09.160
<v Speaker 4>I said, I brought my brother along. My brother graduated

451
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:14.079
<v Speaker 4>college last May, and he shot me a message and

452
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.000
<v Speaker 4>he said, you know, the only thing I really want

453
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:17.920
<v Speaker 4>to do this summer is go camping with you. And

454
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 4>I said, well, this is like a once in a

455
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 4>lifetime opportunity. We're doing this Ape Canyon movie. You should

456
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.359
<v Speaker 4>come along. And of course, the closer and closer we

457
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.039
<v Speaker 4>got and the more mark described what the dissent would

458
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:31.799
<v Speaker 4>be like, I was like, did I just make a mistake?

459
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:38.319
<v Speaker 4>You know, I distinctly had a dream right before we

460
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:43.039
<v Speaker 4>went up there, like a week before, and it was

461
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:47.079
<v Speaker 4>me and my brother alone climbing up out of the canyon,

462
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:50.960
<v Speaker 4>and I heard my brother like yell, and so I

463
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:54.240
<v Speaker 4>turned around and I looked, and he had this backpack on,

464
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 4>and he had lost his step, he had lost his

465
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:02.000
<v Speaker 4>footing and he fell over backwards down into the canyon,

466
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:05.359
<v Speaker 4>and I just remember in the dream like feeling so helpless,

467
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:08.960
<v Speaker 4>like I just witnessed my brother dying. And then that

468
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.119
<v Speaker 4>was like so weird because you know, we went down

469
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Tyler had his accident, and then like everything was kind

470
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:17.440
<v Speaker 4>of in disarray because I was like, well, I need

471
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:20.039
<v Speaker 4>to get back up so I can get service, so

472
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:23.440
<v Speaker 4>I can tell Seth what's going on. And Mark was like, okay,

473
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.000
<v Speaker 4>well I'm going to stay back a little bit and

474
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:28.400
<v Speaker 4>eat my lunch and whatnot. And so I was like,

475
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:31.519
<v Speaker 4>all right, come on, Joey, let's go up. And we're

476
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:36.119
<v Speaker 4>hiking up and I was like, I'm determined to make

477
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:38.359
<v Speaker 4>this dream not come true. And so I was like,

478
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:41.119
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to wear the backpack and my brother's going

479
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:43.240
<v Speaker 4>to stay in front of me the entire time because

480
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 4>in the dream he was wearing the backpack and he

481
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.519
<v Speaker 4>was behind me. And we got to this one spot

482
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:52.960
<v Speaker 4>where we were taking a breath and I turned around

483
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 4>and I looked and I was like, this is this

484
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.559
<v Speaker 4>is the spot from my dream, like where And I've

485
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.880
<v Speaker 4>had like freaky dreams in the past where I've seen

486
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:07.079
<v Speaker 4>things that are like eerily spot on, Like before I

487
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:11.039
<v Speaker 4>started dating my girlfriend, I had a dream about visiting

488
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.160
<v Speaker 4>her at her parents' house, and I had never seen

489
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:16.160
<v Speaker 4>her parents house before. And then when I went to

490
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:17.839
<v Speaker 4>her parents' house for the first time, I was like,

491
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.640
<v Speaker 4>this is exactly from my dream. And so that was

492
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:22.799
<v Speaker 4>like another moment where I like turned around and I

493
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.279
<v Speaker 4>looked down and I was like, holy crap, this is

494
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:28.319
<v Speaker 4>the spot from my dream where I saw my brother die.

495
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:32.200
<v Speaker 4>And I didn't tell my brother about the dream until

496
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.799
<v Speaker 4>after we got out of there, but I just I

497
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:36.960
<v Speaker 4>didn't want to speak it into existence. But we got

498
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:39.039
<v Speaker 4>out of there and I was just like, holy crap.

499
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, the canyon is no joke. I don't blame

500
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 2>you for not going down to the mine site. That

501
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.400
<v Speaker 2>last time I attempted to get down to the cabin site.

502
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even make it because were those those were

503
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:51.960
<v Speaker 2>those mountain goats poking around in the canyon when you

504
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:53.400
<v Speaker 2>were down there, because they were there when I was

505
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 2>there last year ago July, and I was around the

506
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.759
<v Speaker 2>ninety ninth anniversary and on my way down, the mountain

507
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:05.240
<v Speaker 2>goats were at the same level as me, but on

508
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:07.880
<v Speaker 2>a different you know, little finger of the mountain and

509
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.039
<v Speaker 2>just looking over at me, going like what in the world.

510
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:11.119
<v Speaker 2>Are you doing here?

511
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? No, no mountain goats this time.

512
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, because I was talked off the ledge

513
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:18.240
<v Speaker 2>by one of those mountain goats like they are going,

514
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 2>what are you doing here? And I looked at the

515
00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:21.400
<v Speaker 2>goat and I went, yeah, you're right, what am I

516
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.880
<v Speaker 2>doing here? Yeah?

517
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:24.839
<v Speaker 4>I've seen your video?

518
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, God, I was going to say I should have

519
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.039
<v Speaker 2>sent you sent you that video as a warning or something.

520
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:32.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, if it's not too much of a spoiler alert.

521
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Did Tyler have to be extracted out of there or

522
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:36.880
<v Speaker 1>like when you called for help or how did that

523
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:38.839
<v Speaker 1>end up turning out? Unless you want us to wait

524
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:39.319
<v Speaker 1>for the film.

525
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:44.359
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, So Tyler, there's no service down there. Luckily,

526
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.319
<v Speaker 4>Jared Mitchell had a satellite phone, so he was able

527
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:51.519
<v Speaker 4>to contact emergency services and they basically said that they

528
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:54.759
<v Speaker 4>weren't going to come for us. That was like holy cow.

529
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.839
<v Speaker 4>And we were all there and we all heard it

530
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 4>and we're like, holy crap. And so Tyler was just

531
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.720
<v Speaker 4>like and that was the other thing. You know, Jared

532
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:07.599
<v Speaker 4>or Braiden had a tourniquit that he put on Tyler's arm,

533
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:10.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, cause like Tyler cut his arm and this

534
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.759
<v Speaker 4>all happened like thirty seconds. So like, Tyler cut his arm.

535
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.720
<v Speaker 4>I was turned around looking another way, trying to figure

536
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:20.160
<v Speaker 4>out a shot. And then Mark and Tyler didn't even

537
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:23.079
<v Speaker 4>notice he had cut his arm. Mark Mark saw it

538
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.799
<v Speaker 4>first and he saw the blood spurting out of his

539
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:28.920
<v Speaker 4>arm and was like, Tyler, I think you cut yourself.

540
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.200
<v Speaker 4>And Tyler looked down and we all looked down and

541
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.920
<v Speaker 4>we just see the blood just like come at gushing

542
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.200
<v Speaker 4>out of his arm. We're like, holy crap. And Tyler

543
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:41.000
<v Speaker 4>was like, Eli, you need to put your leg on

544
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:43.400
<v Speaker 4>my arm right now, and so I just jumped over.

545
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:47.559
<v Speaker 4>I put my knee on his arm, and Braiden comes

546
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.079
<v Speaker 4>over with the tourniquit and he's putting the tournique on.

547
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:54.599
<v Speaker 4>The tournique breaks and we're like, holy crap. Luckily Mark

548
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:57.279
<v Speaker 4>had a leather belt that we ended up using as

549
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.839
<v Speaker 4>a tourniquit, you know, And then we heard that and

550
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.640
<v Speaker 4>we're like, okay, we we need to figure something else out.

551
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:08.839
<v Speaker 4>And so basically we had a Israeli bandage. We put

552
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:11.279
<v Speaker 4>that on Tyler as well, and then Tyler kept his

553
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:16.400
<v Speaker 4>arm elevated Tyder rope around. Uh. I think Jared's waste,

554
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:21.480
<v Speaker 4>and they basically him and Bryden tugged him up, brought

555
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.440
<v Speaker 4>him out of there, and Tyler had to walk down

556
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 4>and that's where they were gonna they were going to

557
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 4>meet him down in the parking lot, fricking six miles away.

558
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:31.920
<v Speaker 4>They ended up sending people on bikes, which they didn't

559
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.319
<v Speaker 4>have room for Tyler, so I'm not sure what that

560
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.559
<v Speaker 4>was all about, but they ended up walking Tyler back down.

561
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.440
<v Speaker 4>They took him to the hospital and whatnot. But yeah,

562
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:42.839
<v Speaker 4>that was extreme, you.

563
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Know, Yeah, that's wild. Luckily, Tyler has a lot of experience,

564
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, law enforcement experience and other forms of training,

565
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.599
<v Speaker 1>and so glad he was able to keep a cool head.

566
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I met Tyler when we filmed The Agents last year,

567
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:55.279
<v Speaker 1>like that do a lot.

568
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:57.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Tyler's great.

569
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Stay tuned for more big Foot and Beyond with Cliff

570
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:10.319
<v Speaker 2>and Bogo. We'll be right back after these messages. Things

571
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.960
<v Speaker 2>can get real serious, real fast when you're out there,

572
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:16.200
<v Speaker 2>little things like you know, not to say that was

573
00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 2>a little cut or anything. It sounds like it's quite bad,

574
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.839
<v Speaker 2>but at home it would be a much much, much

575
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:25.359
<v Speaker 2>smaller deal than six and a half miles up and

576
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:29.079
<v Speaker 2>then down this forsaken cliff in the middle of god

577
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:31.839
<v Speaker 2>knows where, you know, with apes everywhere.

578
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 4>And with apes. Yeah, well, yeah, so that was wild.

579
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:39.319
<v Speaker 4>You know, I've shared this story once before on a

580
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:42.680
<v Speaker 4>STM live stream, but those those have a way of

581
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:46.640
<v Speaker 4>getting lost. But there was something very interesting I actually

582
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:50.200
<v Speaker 4>I think I told you about it, Cliff. A couple

583
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.599
<v Speaker 4>of days after it happened, we came down and visited

584
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.680
<v Speaker 4>the museum, but it was the third night, so you know,

585
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:00.240
<v Speaker 4>July tenth is when I went down there. Ly leven

586
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 4>is when Alex and the rest of the crew went down.

587
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.160
<v Speaker 4>And uh, oh, by the way, the mine the mind

588
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.519
<v Speaker 4>does make it into the film, like we get to

589
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.839
<v Speaker 4>see the mine in the film through the Mitchell's perspective,

590
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker 4>and I think I used a little bit of Alex's

591
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 4>footage some of Shane's footage as well, so you do

592
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 4>get to see the mine in the film. But yeah,

593
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.839
<v Speaker 4>so you know, the campsite, as you know, is like

594
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:32.119
<v Speaker 4>all covered in ash still from the nineteen eighty eruption,

595
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:36.119
<v Speaker 4>which is forty five years ago now. But you know,

596
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:39.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking it's the middle of July, it's not going

597
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:43.079
<v Speaker 4>to rain, and uh, I'm not bringing a tent. I

598
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:45.440
<v Speaker 4>don't want to. I don't want the extra weight going

599
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.160
<v Speaker 4>up the mountain. I'm not bringing a tent. Well, the

600
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:50.960
<v Speaker 4>wind picked up on that third day when Alex and

601
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:53.720
<v Speaker 4>them went down, and it starts blowing the ash everywhere,

602
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:56.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, and it's like getting in my eyes and stuff.

603
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:00.720
<v Speaker 4>And then that night the wind just picks up even more.

604
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:04.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm just like, dude, I don't want to stay here.

605
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:09.400
<v Speaker 4>And so Brad, you know, Mark's right hand man, Brad.

606
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:13.799
<v Speaker 4>Brad had this like five by five plastic tarp that

607
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:17.880
<v Speaker 4>he set up for me and my brother, and he

608
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:20.160
<v Speaker 4>tied it up in these trees, you know, real loaded

609
00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:23.519
<v Speaker 4>the ground to kind of create a wind break. So

610
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.559
<v Speaker 4>I'm like basically sleeping with like a tarp like an

611
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.240
<v Speaker 4>inch in front of my face. But it's better than

612
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:31.440
<v Speaker 4>being in the wind and getting ash blown all over you.

613
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:36.039
<v Speaker 4>But uh. I went to bed around eleven and I

614
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 4>wake up a little bit later. The wind had died down,

615
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:43.000
<v Speaker 4>and I wake up and I'm completely twisted around in

616
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:46.720
<v Speaker 4>my sleeping bag and my sleeping pad is completely deflated,

617
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.119
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, well, I'm really uncomfortable, but maybe

618
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:54.519
<v Speaker 4>it's like five six in the morning, like right, before

619
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:56.279
<v Speaker 4>the sun comes up and I can tough it out.

620
00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 4>I check my phone and it's midnight, and I'm like,

621
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 4>I have the whole night ahead of me. It was

622
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:06.559
<v Speaker 4>the second time my sleeping pad had deflated, and so

623
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:09.079
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, I'm not I'm not going to blow it

624
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:11.319
<v Speaker 4>up again because there's a hole in it. And that

625
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:14.839
<v Speaker 4>was the last time I ever used an inflatable sleeping pad.

626
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:18.319
<v Speaker 4>You got to get one of the actual mats because

627
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:22.960
<v Speaker 4>the inflatable ones suck. That's my pro camping tip for

628
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:26.400
<v Speaker 4>anybody out there. And I didn't want to get out

629
00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:29.200
<v Speaker 4>of my sleeping bag and get back in it, and

630
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 4>so I'm like wrestling with it to straighten it out

631
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:35.119
<v Speaker 4>so I can be comfortable enough to go back to bed.

632
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 4>And so I'm kind of aggravated about that. I'm wrestling

633
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:43.000
<v Speaker 4>with it, and then I'm laying there and I'm calm.

634
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:45.720
<v Speaker 4>I had been laying there for like maybe thirty seconds,

635
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:48.880
<v Speaker 4>and then I feel a hand grab my foot and

636
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.680
<v Speaker 4>I immediately thought it was Brad. And you know, because

637
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:56.839
<v Speaker 4>Brad's a jokester, you know, sometimes I think he jokes

638
00:32:56.920 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 4>too much, and so I'm not in the mood to

639
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.680
<v Speaker 4>like joke around with Brad at this moment. So I'm

640
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:06.200
<v Speaker 4>just like, I'm not gonna give him the response he wants.

641
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.960
<v Speaker 4>He wants me to say something, and so I'm just

642
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:14.759
<v Speaker 4>like laying there, letting this hand hold my foot, and

643
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 4>it's like thirty seconds goes by and there's like no sound,

644
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:23.160
<v Speaker 4>there's no voice, there's no like go to bed Eli,

645
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.440
<v Speaker 4>and I'm like, this is getting a little weird, you know.

646
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.039
<v Speaker 4>And my feet are hanging out of the tarp. You know,

647
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:33.200
<v Speaker 4>it's like five by five and I'm like five tens,

648
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 4>so like everything from my knee knees below is outside

649
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.480
<v Speaker 4>of the tarp. And so I'm like, this is weird,

650
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:45.559
<v Speaker 4>and so I pull my feet underneath the tarp and

651
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:48.880
<v Speaker 4>it just lets go of my foot and then I'm

652
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:53.720
<v Speaker 4>like listening and there's there's no voice, there's no laughter,

653
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:58.720
<v Speaker 4>there's nothing. And I hear it walk across. So I'm

654
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.079
<v Speaker 4>on the right side of the tar. My brother's on

655
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:05.160
<v Speaker 4>the left, on my left, and he's he's snoring at

656
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:08.880
<v Speaker 4>this point in time, and I hear this thing because

657
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:11.440
<v Speaker 4>again I can't see because the tarp is like an

658
00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:15.159
<v Speaker 4>inch away from my face. I hear it walk to

659
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:19.559
<v Speaker 4>the left and then I hear it walk alongside the

660
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.079
<v Speaker 4>tarp on the left hand side, and then it stops

661
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.800
<v Speaker 4>right behind us. And then I'm still kind of thinking.

662
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:29.679
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, it's probably Brad or something, you know, because

663
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:33.280
<v Speaker 4>Brad is he's a weird guy, so maybe he just

664
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:37.800
<v Speaker 4>didn't say anything. But that's when I hear Brad, who's

665
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:40.920
<v Speaker 4>camped off to my right. I hear him clear his throat,

666
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:45.119
<v Speaker 4>and so I'm like, Okay, so Brad is off to

667
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:48.760
<v Speaker 4>my right and he's in his spot, so whatever this

668
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:52.639
<v Speaker 4>is isn't Brad. And then you know, Brad had all

669
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.039
<v Speaker 4>these mountainhouse meals that he had tied up into this

670
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:58.760
<v Speaker 4>tree to prevent the wind from blowing them away, and

671
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:01.719
<v Speaker 4>whatever this is, it starts grabbing the bags and I

672
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:05.960
<v Speaker 4>would say, like, like, it didn't open the bags, and

673
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:09.320
<v Speaker 4>it didn't like tear open the bags either. It was

674
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:12.880
<v Speaker 4>like crinkling them, like like if you were grabbing a

675
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:14.719
<v Speaker 4>bag of chips, you know, and you were just kind

676
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.960
<v Speaker 4>of crinkling it. And I could hear this crinkling sound

677
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:20.280
<v Speaker 4>and that's when like my heart is like beating out

678
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:22.639
<v Speaker 4>of my chest and I'm like, I don't know what

679
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:25.960
<v Speaker 4>this is, and like it doesn't make sense, you know,

680
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, there's a lot of people in the camp,

681
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.880
<v Speaker 4>but like I don't see anyone, Like why would they

682
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:35.280
<v Speaker 4>come up to this tree and start grabbing the bags

683
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.760
<v Speaker 4>like they they all know that Brad's trash is in

684
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.760
<v Speaker 4>this tree. And then it does that for about a minute,

685
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:46.000
<v Speaker 4>and then it turns and it walks away off to

686
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:50.039
<v Speaker 4>my right, but like backwards to my right, so not

687
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:54.639
<v Speaker 4>like towards Brad's spot, but off towards the mountain where

688
00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:57.559
<v Speaker 4>there's nothing, there's nothing out there. And I hear it

689
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:01.400
<v Speaker 4>walk away, and it's walking on all the pummus and

690
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:04.760
<v Speaker 4>all the volcanic rocks out there, and I'm just like,

691
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:07.960
<v Speaker 4>what the heck was that? And the and the most

692
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.599
<v Speaker 4>bizarre thing is I just went to bed. I just

693
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:13.840
<v Speaker 4>fell asleep after that, so and you know, I wake

694
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:16.760
<v Speaker 4>up in the morning. There's no you know, like if

695
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 4>it was a wild animal that was trying to get

696
00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:21.920
<v Speaker 4>into the bags, you might expect like all the trash

697
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 4>to be scattered everywhere, but no, all the bread, all

698
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:27.199
<v Speaker 4>the bags are intact. They're still up in the tree.

699
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:31.079
<v Speaker 4>There's no footprints. And I start talking to everybody. I

700
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:32.960
<v Speaker 4>start telling everybody about the experience.

701
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:33.119
<v Speaker 3>You know.

702
00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:35.639
<v Speaker 4>I first tell my brother, you know, I was like,

703
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm pretty sure you were asleep when this happened, but

704
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:40.480
<v Speaker 4>do you do you remember hearing anything? He was like, no,

705
00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:43.599
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm talking to Shane, I'm talking to Alex,

706
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:46.599
<v Speaker 4>I'm talking to Mark, I'm talking to Brad, and everyone's

707
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:49.519
<v Speaker 4>like no, we were all asleep by midnight, you know.

708
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.440
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, then, I don't know what this was,

709
00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:55.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, you know, you start running through all the

710
00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:58.400
<v Speaker 4>possibilities in your mind, you know, You're like, well, maybe

711
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:01.519
<v Speaker 4>it was like a bear, you know, and it's like, no,

712
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:04.679
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it was a bear because when it

713
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:08.039
<v Speaker 4>grabbed my foot, it was both sides of my foot,

714
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:10.199
<v Speaker 4>which is why I thought it was a hand, which

715
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:12.440
<v Speaker 4>is why I thought it was a person, you know.

716
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:15.360
<v Speaker 4>And the only way a bear could touch both sides

717
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.800
<v Speaker 4>of your foot at the same time is if it

718
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:22.320
<v Speaker 4>put your foot in its mouth. And I didn't feel teeth,

719
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:25.960
<v Speaker 4>so then I'm thinking, well, could it have been like

720
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:29.480
<v Speaker 4>another camper? But then I'm like that doesn't really make sense. Like,

721
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:32.119
<v Speaker 4>if your goal is to sneak into someone's camp at night,

722
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:34.880
<v Speaker 4>you're not just gonna grab someone's foot.

723
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:36.440
<v Speaker 2>It is immensely strange.

724
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:42.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, squatched me, squatches do that, So I don't see why.

725
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:44.960
<v Speaker 3>It's so it's not out of the ordinary. It's out

726
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.199
<v Speaker 3>of the ordinary, but it's not like it's unusual, but

727
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:48.480
<v Speaker 3>it's not unheard of it at all.

728
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, one of these days I'll have to tell

729
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:55.480
<v Speaker 1>you a similar experience I had. That's that's pretty remarkable.

730
00:37:56.039 --> 00:37:58.719
<v Speaker 4>Well then it's like, you know, then I'm put in

731
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:00.880
<v Speaker 4>a weird spot, you know, because I've had you know,

732
00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:04.239
<v Speaker 4>audio encounters, like I've heard knocks out in the woods.

733
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.079
<v Speaker 4>I've heard footprints out in the you know, I've heard

734
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:11.079
<v Speaker 4>walking out in the woods before, and I've found footprints

735
00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:14.639
<v Speaker 4>out in the woods before. But like, you know that

736
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.079
<v Speaker 4>that's when it like really sunk in with me, with

737
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:20.320
<v Speaker 4>all these witnesses that are afraid to come forward with

738
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:23.199
<v Speaker 4>their experience and be like, you know, people are going

739
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.960
<v Speaker 4>to think I'm crazy, and it's like I feel like

740
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:28.840
<v Speaker 4>like even now, I'm still kind of nervous sharing the

741
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:31.599
<v Speaker 4>story because it's like what do I tell people, like

742
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.199
<v Speaker 4>a big foot grabbed my foot? You know, It's like

743
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:39.320
<v Speaker 4>that's so that's so out there. But like like Bobo said,

744
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:42.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, I've I've definitely heard stories of you know,

745
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:46.400
<v Speaker 4>similar stuff happening, so I know it's not like completely

746
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:50.199
<v Speaker 4>out of the ordinary for a sasquatch experience, but it's

747
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:51.800
<v Speaker 4>just so weird to me.

748
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I was going to ask you if you had that sensation,

749
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>but then, you know, I was thinking about the fact

750
00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:58.880
<v Speaker 1>that you had to ask the other people if they

751
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>were up, because in my experience Camp Visitation, I was

752
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:05.880
<v Speaker 1>asleep in my vehicle, but it was right outside of

753
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the vehicle and it shook the vehicle. It's a long story,

754
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:11.199
<v Speaker 1>but it went through trash and I expected to find

755
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a mess if it was a bear, and there was none.

756
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:15.320
<v Speaker 1>None of the trash was disturbed. But I heard it

757
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:18.679
<v Speaker 1>go through this trash bag for a lengthy time, and

758
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:22.039
<v Speaker 1>it shook me so much because I was awake and

759
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:24.480
<v Speaker 1>this was like right before sun up. I thought for

760
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:27.320
<v Speaker 1>a long time before anyone got up, and I convinced myself, like,

761
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:29.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'm ever going to tell anyone about this,

762
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.119
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know that people will believe me, even

763
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:34.360
<v Speaker 1>though I'm there with like five of my favorite squatching buddies.

764
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I just thought, God, no one is going to believe this.

765
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.039
<v Speaker 1>No one's going to believe this, Like, I probably shouldn't

766
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:42.800
<v Speaker 1>even tell anyone, So I totally understand.

767
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Let's hear it.

768
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.480
<v Speaker 1>For what happened, I'll tell it on a members episode

769
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:48.199
<v Speaker 1>or something, because it takes a while to tell.

770
00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:49.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm holding to it.

771
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:54.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah it was bizarre, man, But yeah, that's Ape Canyon

772
00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:54.480
<v Speaker 4>for you.

773
00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:57.679
<v Speaker 1>That was the great great great grandchild of the ape

774
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.079
<v Speaker 1>that bothered Leroy.

775
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:02.360
<v Speaker 2>It could have been, it could have been.

776
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:06.159
<v Speaker 4>And you know that spot, you know, I mean Mark

777
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:09.400
<v Speaker 4>and Brad have heard stuff there before they found they

778
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:14.519
<v Speaker 4>cast a footprint there or very close by before. I think, Cliff,

779
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:16.599
<v Speaker 4>you were there for that or did you.

780
00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Cast No, No, that was the year before I win.

781
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:21.760
<v Speaker 4>That was the year before you win. I mean, so

782
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.079
<v Speaker 4>there's like a precedent. There's still stuff going on in

783
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:27.440
<v Speaker 4>the Ape Canyon area, and then even on the other

784
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:29.920
<v Speaker 4>side of the mountain there. I mean you have like

785
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:35.079
<v Speaker 4>the North Fork Survivor Museum with Joe bon Giovanni and

786
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:39.079
<v Speaker 4>you know, Chris Spencer was doing audio research there. I mean,

787
00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:42.960
<v Speaker 4>there's still stuff happening around Mount Saint Helen's, you know.

788
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:46.639
<v Speaker 4>But I guess I just didn't expect to be that close.

789
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, it's what you get. Stay tuned for

790
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:55.480
<v Speaker 2>more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo. Will be

791
00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:57.000
<v Speaker 2>right back after these messages.

792
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:06.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, I'm excited for people to see the Ape

793
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Canyon movie. You know. It means a lot to me

794
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:12.280
<v Speaker 4>on you know, several different levels.

795
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:12.480
<v Speaker 2>You know.

796
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:17.119
<v Speaker 4>Obviously it's like the biggest Bigfoot story. If you're into Bigfoot,

797
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:20.719
<v Speaker 4>you know about Ape Canyon. And like I was saying earlier,

798
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:24.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, there's so many inaccuracies that you find online

799
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:28.320
<v Speaker 4>and I'm you know, I'm guilty of adding to that

800
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:33.480
<v Speaker 4>through my own podcast, but uh, you know, Mark has

801
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:35.719
<v Speaker 4>done the research. You know, I consider Mark a really

802
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:38.639
<v Speaker 4>good friend. I talked to Mark a couple of times

803
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:42.000
<v Speaker 4>a month, you know, and I mean we talk about everything.

804
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:44.760
<v Speaker 4>We talk about life and stuff, you know, and I think,

805
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:46.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, I had the chance.

806
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:47.519
<v Speaker 2>You know.

807
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:50.800
<v Speaker 4>There was some back and forth creative stuff about the

808
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:52.960
<v Speaker 4>direction of this movie, but I was like, I was

809
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:56.320
<v Speaker 4>really pushing for this. I was like, when I filmed it,

810
00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:59.039
<v Speaker 4>I was like, this isn't really a Bigfoot movie. And

811
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:02.519
<v Speaker 4>I know some of the Bigfoot diehard people are going

812
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:05.159
<v Speaker 4>to be maybe a little upset with that. There's not

813
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:08.920
<v Speaker 4>enough Bigfoot evidence. But I'm like, no, you have this

814
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:13.159
<v Speaker 4>really really great story about Mark Marcel, who's this great

815
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:20.440
<v Speaker 4>guy who did something of significant historical importance. You know,

816
00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:24.280
<v Speaker 4>this is a historical film. It's about a researcher. You know,

817
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:27.519
<v Speaker 4>it's not so much about the Bigfoot. I mean, there's

818
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:31.679
<v Speaker 4>no way like Mark found the cabin period, but there's

819
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:34.480
<v Speaker 4>no way you could prove that the miners were attacked

820
00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:37.440
<v Speaker 4>by Sasquatches there in nineteen twenty four. There wouldn't be

821
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:41.000
<v Speaker 4>any evidence of that left over, you know. So it's

822
00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:44.519
<v Speaker 4>like you have to kind of focus on like this

823
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:48.400
<v Speaker 4>is a piece of history that belongs to you know, Longview,

824
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:52.239
<v Speaker 4>Washington that has largely been forgotten. You know, it was

825
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:55.639
<v Speaker 4>part of the folklore there. You know, there's the miners

826
00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:57.760
<v Speaker 4>went into town and shared the story and I'm sure

827
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:01.800
<v Speaker 4>it was the hubbub for the next years, but over

828
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.880
<v Speaker 4>time it's been forgotten. I mean, it's one hundred years ago.

829
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:08.840
<v Speaker 4>And then you get into like, you know, Betty Mitchell,

830
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:13.599
<v Speaker 4>the daughter of Leroy Perry Smith, is interviewed in the film,

831
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:16.840
<v Speaker 4>and she talks about how she didn't hear the story

832
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:19.679
<v Speaker 4>growing up, or or she did hear the story growing up,

833
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:22.559
<v Speaker 4>but didn't know that it was her father who was

834
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:26.960
<v Speaker 4>involved with it, you know, and it's just like there's

835
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.280
<v Speaker 4>this really human story to it. And that's like always,

836
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:34.519
<v Speaker 4>always my goal with telling these documentaries is like, what

837
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:38.400
<v Speaker 4>what's the human element of it? You know, That's that's

838
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:42.679
<v Speaker 4>always my interest, more than the bigfoot thing, you know,

839
00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:45.760
<v Speaker 4>And maybe that makes some people upset. I don't really care, though.

840
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:49.239
<v Speaker 1>No, I think I think you're so incredibly good at that.

841
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:52.360
<v Speaker 1>And you know, your your Sierra's series, which I'll link

842
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:54.920
<v Speaker 1>in the show notes here. You know, I heard that story,

843
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Justin Smaya story when it first started

844
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:02.679
<v Speaker 1>like circulating amongst the people that were involved. And it's

845
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:05.840
<v Speaker 1>a sensational story, and so I think most people's instinct,

846
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:09.440
<v Speaker 1>as you could tell from all the past representations, is

847
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:10.679
<v Speaker 1>to sensationalize it.

848
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:10.960
<v Speaker 2>You know.

849
00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:14.519
<v Speaker 1>On this week's episode of yadaa YadA, you know, the

850
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:18.159
<v Speaker 1>shooting of a sasquatch, and your telling of that story

851
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:22.800
<v Speaker 1>was so human and so calm and well paced and

852
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.039
<v Speaker 1>well edited, well presented, your musical choices, the footage, just

853
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:30.559
<v Speaker 1>everything about it. When I saw that first episode, my

854
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:33.039
<v Speaker 1>wife and I watched it and we both loved it,

855
00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was texting a bunch of people like you

856
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:38.320
<v Speaker 1>have to watch this. It doesn't matter whether you believe

857
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:40.599
<v Speaker 1>the story is true or not. I'm not even asking

858
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:44.000
<v Speaker 1>anyone that just like, this is the single best treatment

859
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:48.039
<v Speaker 1>of a Sasquatch story or claim that I've ever seen,

860
00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and I would I'd say it to this day and

861
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to all our listeners, like, that's my favorite Sasquatch documentary,

862
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:57.119
<v Speaker 1>that whole series. I'm looking forward to seeing that series

863
00:44:57.159 --> 00:45:00.760
<v Speaker 1>play out. But also that same human treatment given to

864
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:03.039
<v Speaker 1>this ape Canaan story sounds amazing to me.

865
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:06.719
<v Speaker 4>Well, thank you, you know, and that you know that

866
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:09.199
<v Speaker 4>was again my goal with the Sierras too. It's like,

867
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:12.239
<v Speaker 4>you know, that was a case I had personal interest

868
00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:16.079
<v Speaker 4>in looking into because I just wanted to know what

869
00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:20.039
<v Speaker 4>was going on with that whole thing. And you know

870
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:23.400
<v Speaker 4>what I discovered is that, you know, there is a

871
00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:26.360
<v Speaker 4>human story to it, and you know, whether you believe

872
00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:29.440
<v Speaker 4>Justin or not. Whether I believe Justin or not is

873
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:33.840
<v Speaker 4>not really the question that's being asked in the film

874
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:38.320
<v Speaker 4>or in that series. It's it's like, just here's a

875
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:42.960
<v Speaker 4>person who believes or thinks you know that they did this,

876
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:45.480
<v Speaker 4>or is claiming that they did this, you know, but

877
00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:48.400
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't exist in a vacuum, you know. It draws

878
00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:51.400
<v Speaker 4>in so many different people from the bigfoot world, like

879
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:57.039
<v Speaker 4>Bart Katino and Todd Hale and Rosahebe and Derek Randalls,

880
00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:59.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, and all of them make an appearance in

881
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:02.119
<v Speaker 4>that series and they all have a chance to speak

882
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:05.000
<v Speaker 4>their mind on what they think happened. And you know,

883
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:07.760
<v Speaker 4>as Stacy Brown was involved, you know, and it's just

884
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:12.000
<v Speaker 4>like it was such a big story and it involves

885
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:15.199
<v Speaker 4>so many people and so many different elements, and you know,

886
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:19.280
<v Speaker 4>it's a convoluted story and it was a challenge to

887
00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:22.039
<v Speaker 4>be able to tell right And it's like I just

888
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:24.440
<v Speaker 4>resorted to what I feel like i'm good at, which

889
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:26.920
<v Speaker 4>is just focusing on the human element. And it's like,

890
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:30.599
<v Speaker 4>how did this affect people's lives? Talking with Seth, you know,

891
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.800
<v Speaker 4>like the original vision for Small Town Monsters was less

892
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:38.960
<v Speaker 4>focus on bigfoot evidence and more like, Okay, well here

893
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:41.719
<v Speaker 4>are these people who claim they've seen a bigfoot. How

894
00:46:41.760 --> 00:46:45.079
<v Speaker 4>has it affected their life? You know, what's the aftermath

895
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:47.880
<v Speaker 4>of seeing a bigfoot? And that and that is the

896
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:51.519
<v Speaker 4>goal with the Sierras. It's like, Okay, this guy makes

897
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:55.480
<v Speaker 4>this extraordinary claim, Well, what's the aftermath of that? And

898
00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:58.400
<v Speaker 4>how does it affect the people involved? And I think

899
00:46:58.480 --> 00:46:59.920
<v Speaker 4>that's really what's.

900
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:03.119
<v Speaker 1>In You are supremely good at that, and I think

901
00:47:03.159 --> 00:47:07.719
<v Speaker 1>that's a hallmark of small town Monsters. Like whenever my

902
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:11.039
<v Speaker 1>friends have appeared in any Small Town Monsters production, they

903
00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:14.039
<v Speaker 1>come across as I know them, which is never the

904
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:18.320
<v Speaker 1>case with like network television or one offs or like

905
00:47:18.440 --> 00:47:21.679
<v Speaker 1>most documentaries. You know, because people are very easy to caricature,

906
00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and so they get put into certain situations and then

907
00:47:24.440 --> 00:47:26.360
<v Speaker 1>edited in such a way that you only see this

908
00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:30.000
<v Speaker 1>one dimensional aspect of a person. And because of the

909
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:32.239
<v Speaker 1>treatment you give to people that I know, and they

910
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:34.920
<v Speaker 1>appear as I know them, that trust extends to like

911
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:37.519
<v Speaker 1>when I watch your films with people I've never met,

912
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, that must be who they really are,

913
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:42.079
<v Speaker 1>because I know that you're not trying to present, you know,

914
00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:46.000
<v Speaker 1>like a preconceived variant of who you think that person is.

915
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:49.360
<v Speaker 1>You're letting that person be them, And that's super special.

916
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:53.599
<v Speaker 1>It's exceedingly rare. So I cannot wait to see the

917
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Cejday Cave for that reason.

918
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:59.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Well, and I'll throw this out one last bit

919
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:03.760
<v Speaker 4>here is the the upcoming NABC documentary, which I shot

920
00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:09.840
<v Speaker 4>with Cliff last March. Finally in the editing room, finally

921
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:13.559
<v Speaker 4>cutting that together, and I'm going through all the interviews,

922
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:17.920
<v Speaker 4>and I'm so so excited because, excuse me, Cliff, but

923
00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:20.440
<v Speaker 4>I think you really open up in a very personal

924
00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:24.960
<v Speaker 4>way that I don't always see you do in public appearances.

925
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:29.039
<v Speaker 4>So you know, you're you're a tough nut to crack, Cliff.

926
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:33.599
<v Speaker 4>I think I got you to open up a little

927
00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:36.599
<v Speaker 4>bit and we get a peak of the genuine human

928
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:38.280
<v Speaker 4>being you are underneath, you know.

929
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:40.239
<v Speaker 2>Damn you eli.

930
00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:43.079
<v Speaker 4>When you're not finding Bigfoot, Cliff.

931
00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:47.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, yeah, I'm teacher Cliff on most TV shows,

932
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:50.079
<v Speaker 2>but when I'm with my friends, I'm certainly less guarded

933
00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:51.440
<v Speaker 2>friends and pigeons.

934
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:54.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm so excited too, because, you know, we get

935
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:57.000
<v Speaker 4>into a little bit, you know, about how you and

936
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:00.840
<v Speaker 4>Melissa met, and you know, just kind of I don't

937
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:04.519
<v Speaker 4>know the documentary, Sure, it's about the NABC, but it's

938
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:07.159
<v Speaker 4>really about you, you know, and I'm really excited for

939
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:09.079
<v Speaker 4>people to see that. Maybe you don't like that, but

940
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:09.960
<v Speaker 4>I like it.

941
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:12.599
<v Speaker 1>That comes out pretty soon too, right.

942
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:15.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so it'll come out for Squad members on May

943
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 4>twenty second, saying not as the premiere, but it'll make it.

944
00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:21.840
<v Speaker 4>It'll be public on the twenty sixth.

945
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I believe, Oh very cool.

946
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:24.440
<v Speaker 4>You know.

947
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:27.840
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say about your h the documentaries,

948
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:31.679
<v Speaker 3>I was the Justin one was the kill site was

949
00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:35.000
<v Speaker 3>I wish I got you the video where Justin was

950
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:37.000
<v Speaker 3>telling all us all the first story on location, all

951
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:38.559
<v Speaker 3>of us for the first time. I was the only

952
00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:41.360
<v Speaker 3>guy videotape in the whole thing. And that's when my

953
00:49:41.400 --> 00:49:44.039
<v Speaker 3>dog Monkey flipped out when he said he buried the

954
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:45.800
<v Speaker 3>baby one like he said, I still eat that bush

955
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:48.800
<v Speaker 3>and buried it right there. Monkey went over there and

956
00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:51.079
<v Speaker 3>was she was. She was like fifty that. We were

957
00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:53.599
<v Speaker 3>about fifteen feet away, and she just starts barking at

958
00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:56.039
<v Speaker 3>the ground and digging crazy and biting the dirt and

959
00:49:56.119 --> 00:49:59.400
<v Speaker 3>digging and barking and barking, and dude, we thought we

960
00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:02.760
<v Speaker 3>had it, like Melder, Maya, Chinsky, Derek, we were just

961
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:05.000
<v Speaker 3>like all our mouths. Tropp were like, no wad. Justin

962
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:06.760
<v Speaker 3>was like I told you, I told you, you know,

963
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:10.360
<v Speaker 3>and that we dug and we couldn't find anything. Yeah,

964
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:12.519
<v Speaker 3>but it was interesting that that to all of a

965
00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:14.119
<v Speaker 3>sudden there that was like one of the most compelling

966
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:15.159
<v Speaker 3>things about his story.

967
00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:18.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, I remember you told me that and I

968
00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:18.920
<v Speaker 4>called you.

969
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:20.280
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't find it.

970
00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:21.559
<v Speaker 4>I think it's I think it's gone.

971
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:25.519
<v Speaker 3>I looked. I'm gonna go through some more boxes coming up,

972
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:29.079
<v Speaker 3>but I think, well, the camera got smashed, and I'm

973
00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:31.360
<v Speaker 3>pretty sure that was that. That was the I had

974
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:34.800
<v Speaker 3>two Yeah, there was two cards and I I can't

975
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:36.519
<v Speaker 3>remember which one was was in the camera because that

976
00:50:36.519 --> 00:50:40.000
<v Speaker 3>one that that SD car got snapped in like three pieces.

977
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:44.920
<v Speaker 3>They got run over. But anyways, Yeah, that that would

978
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:47.079
<v Speaker 3>have been so bull that was in the dock? Is

979
00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:49.239
<v Speaker 3>that what it was? It was if you were there,

980
00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:50.880
<v Speaker 3>it was like wow, like you really thought it like

981
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:52.239
<v Speaker 3>it was we thought.

982
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:54.960
<v Speaker 4>For sure it was there. Yeah, there's a lot going

983
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:57.719
<v Speaker 4>on with that case. That's what I just keep saying.

984
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know, you do excellent work. I've been telling

985
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:06.079
<v Speaker 1>everybody they have to watch that and your other films too.

986
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:09.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've recommended the San Diego County Oriented when

987
00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:11.320
<v Speaker 1>where you covered a bit of the Zubi's case, and

988
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:14.400
<v Speaker 1>also that Long Term Witness because I've always been fascinated

989
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:16.239
<v Speaker 1>with that so cal activity and so that one in

990
00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:19.480
<v Speaker 1>particular I really really enjoyed. So I hope every one

991
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of our listeners, if they haven't seen those already, I'll

992
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:23.920
<v Speaker 1>link them all in the show notes because they need

993
00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:25.039
<v Speaker 1>to check those out for sure.

994
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:28.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I'm really blown away by that, because I mean

995
00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:31.840
<v Speaker 4>that that whole series kind of came together as like

996
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:34.760
<v Speaker 4>Seth was like, why don't you look for Bigfoot where

997
00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:39.199
<v Speaker 4>you live? And I was like, in southern California, you know,

998
00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:42.159
<v Speaker 4>And you know, the more I started digging, the more

999
00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:46.119
<v Speaker 4>I kept uncovering, and I really turned some heads, I

1000
00:51:46.119 --> 00:51:49.159
<v Speaker 4>guess because I'm still I got an email two days

1001
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:51.519
<v Speaker 4>ago about someone saying that they had an encounter in

1002
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:54.960
<v Speaker 4>the Santa Monica Mountains, and I was like, what the heck?

1003
00:51:55.519 --> 00:51:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I find that Southern California was super interesting.

1004
00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Well all right, but we need to move on and

1005

1025
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:57.480
<v Speaker 2>on the bottom of my shoes or something. This is

00:53:26.159 --> 00:53:28.280
<v Speaker 2>you want to do. Anything else you guys want to

1037
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:29.519
<v Speaker 2>push before we get out of here.

1038
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Go watch the NABC documentary when it comes out.

1039
00:53:33.280 --> 00:53:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Don't listen to him. It's gonna be embarrassing.

1040
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:36.679
<v Speaker 4>No, it's gonna be great.

1041
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:39.559
<v Speaker 3>I just maybe wants to watch it more.

1042
00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's a good thing, I trust you, Eli.

1043
00:53:41.960 --> 00:53:43.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm glad you do.

1044
00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which is probably why I'm not going to watch it.

1045
00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:50.239
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, thanks for doing that for us, honestly.

1046
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:51.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1047
00:53:51.840 --> 00:53:54.679
<v Speaker 3>Okay, folks, that's a wrap with our friend Eli Watson

1048
00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:57.480
<v Speaker 3>from Small Town Monsters. You can meet him in person

1049
00:53:57.480 --> 00:54:01.480
<v Speaker 3>with Cliff next week up in the Kickings Theater and

1050
00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Benkip watching the Ken movie. I would if I could

1051
00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:06.559
<v Speaker 3>make it out be there. You're a fool, I feel

1052
00:54:06.599 --> 00:54:09.920
<v Speaker 3>of anywhere in the Northwest. Don't go to that. But yeah,

1053
00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:12.320
<v Speaker 3>so congratulations on that. Can wait to see it, and

1054

<v Speaker 3>thanks for listening everyone. Until next week, y'all, keep it Squatchy.
