4
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:31.480
legend walk among us working in the
forests of our world? Did you see

5
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.439
what it was? Was it a
person or an animal? Or I can't

6
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.159
go Oh, I know as if
my thunder light came on and I hear

7
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.799
happened to glen and see this thing
running across the yard, a good fight

8
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.719
man or something works like a man. I don't know what it was.

9
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:54.920
For over fifteen years, we've talked
with scientists, researchers, investigators, and

10
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.520
witnesses trying to gain insight and truth
around the existence of this mysterious entity.

11
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:10.359
Jesus quite ar pel, Hello,
get somebody out here. What's going to

12
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.719

00:01:34.439 --> 00:02:02.599
investigation of the Sasquatch Experience. No, no, no, not all thy

17
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:09.159
giving everyone. Welcome to the Sasquatch
Experience. I'm shot. I'm shot in

18
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.840
the fork chop forker. That's vance
Nesbitt, that's Henry May, James Baker

19
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.280

Arner rounding out our crew. And tonight,

20
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.840
as you can see episode one hundred
and seven, skeptically speaking, we're

21
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.400
gonna take the skeptical position tonight,
folks. No, you don't need the

22
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:30.719
Kama Sutra for that one, but
we're going to talk about gonna give a

23
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:37.000
view, but you may learn one. That's that's foul and folks. That's

24
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.879
James Baker. Good evening, everybody, and welcome to the show. Guys.

25
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.639
It's been a couple of weeks.
How the hell are you good?

26
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:53.159
You're good? Birthday, I saw
dinosaurs. Henry didn't die by by hurricane

27
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.919
or tornado or southern disaster. Henry, what were you saying? You you

28
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.840
were going to say something there and
Baker stepped on you big. It's been

29
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:07.800
cooler here lately. Yeah, that's
nice for the residents of Mississippi. Mm

30
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.520
hm. And it's good that you're
here with us. Tonight, very nice.

31
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.759
We are having a little issue.
I'll say it. It's on my

32
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.240
end with whatever's going on with the
Internet. It's affecting me, which will

33
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.560
affect the other house. So I
apologize in advance, but we will press

34
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.759
on. Guys. Just a few
housekeeping notes. We got a hell of

35
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.639
a lot of events coming up in
the next couple weeks. For instance,

36
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.400
this weekend, believe it or not, Pokatella, Idaho, July twenty sixth

37
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:45.919

41
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.000
event coming up. Again, like
I said, this weekend, Pokatella,

42
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.360
Idaho Vance, anything you want to
add on that, because I know you've

43
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.080
been promoting it pretty heavy. No, I've got promotions coming up on our

44
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:13.120
news break, so and uh,
you know, we'll just pat Eric Altman

45
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.920
on the back and keep that one
going absolutely. And then of course we

46
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.600
are just a couple weeks away from
the second annual Central Pennsylvania Bigfoot and Cryptid

47
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:30.000
Festival. Festival held on August third

00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.480
many vendors and speakers. The festival's

org for more information. And I'm understanding

51
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.360
Dvancegott Knockers dot org is back up
and running. Yay for the show?

52
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:56.879
Yeay, Oh, it's been something
else. I'm sorry I got a little

53
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.079
bit of a pause there because I
just used a great amount of wind to

54
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.560
promote these events. But guys,
you want to prevent you want to promote

55
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:09.399
your event on our show, Email
us info at Sasquatch Experience dot com Vance

56
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.519
and I'll make sure they get hit
to the air. Matt, how have

57
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.639
you been. You've been the one
that's been a little bit more absent than

58
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.160
most. You've been out and about
doing things. How's life treating your brother?

59
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.959
It's treating me pretty good. Yeah, I've been trying to get up

60
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.959
the mountains. We were just up
in Elk County over the weekend for the

61
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:34.519
yard sale, and we were trying
to trying to get some uh, you

62
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.680
know, people to talk about bigfoot
up there. But a lot of people

63
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:46.040
though, were just tight lipped.
Right now so right now is not the

64
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.240
best time to be trouncing in the
woods up there, thanks to all the

65
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:55.759
rattlesnakes and everything else that are going
on up there. But but you know,

66
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.800
we're going to be out in the
woods very soon, so look forward

67
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.800
to it, Steve. We don't
condone anybody missing weddings, but as Baker

68
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:13.120
says, maybe you'll catch the next
one. You know, that's optimism right

69
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.000
there from James Baker. Folks,
he's here all week. Tip your waitress.

70
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.240
But we've got a great show planned
for you guys today. As I

71
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.079
said at the top, we are
j Michael in the house as well.

72
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.439
Jay, how you doing, our
friend and go check out the Jay Michael

73
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.639
Show on YouTube and Facebook and everywhere
else. I was a guest on there.

74
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.759
It's good program. Jay has been
broadcasting longer than I've been on Planet

75
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:38.879
Earth, and he actually had an
interview with one of my favorite actors,

76
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.639
Peter Jurassic on the program. So
go take a listen to the Jay Michael

77
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.319
Show on Facebook YouTube wherever you can
stream. He's there. Like us,

78
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:55.600
we're streaming everywhere. Yeah, we're
streaming, all right. So guys,

79
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:01.040
this is what spurred the interest in
this converse. For me, I've been

80
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:08.839
kind of Facebook lurking a lot lately, just going through the different and we've

81
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.839
got Lori, our good Patreon supporter, Lourie. Thanks for joining us love

82
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:17.360
if we appreciate you being here.
I've been trolling around on the Facebook groups

83
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.879
and we the Bigfoot community in a
whole, really getting slammed for our lack

84
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.399
of skepticism. And I think we've
all had this conversation with one another about

85
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.319
how, at times it appears the
inmates are running the asylum, that we

86
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.560
could use a dose of skepticism and
critical thinking. And it's getting to the

87
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.160
point now where you know, we're
not having a lot of allies out there

88
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.319
across the aisle, and you know, this isn't even a political game.

89
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.000
This is a Bigfoot game. But
we can't just seem to get people to,

90
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:53.639
you know, think a little harder
about not just the existence of Bigfoot,

91
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.720
but evidence, photographs, videos.
They're not going out and doing critical

92
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.759
thinking. They're not going out and
chasing down and seeing if anybody's talked about

93
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.160
this stuff before. You know,
there's videos that have been popping up.

94
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.199
I was talking to Matt Nappy and
from Bigfoot cross Roads. He and I

95
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.240
had a, you know, a
very long conversation about people not even just

96
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.680
doing the basic legwork to determine the
validity of a photograph or video that you

97
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.199
could tell is not recent, but
they've done no historical research on it,

98
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.439
right, and so they prop up
and have these arguments, and we spend

99
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.439
time arguing with asshole and idiots who
think it's the next great thing to the

100
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.000
Patterson Gimlet film. And the fact
of the matter is because we're the old

101
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.159
head and Henry's laughing because you know, because we've probably been part of the

102
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.399
people that have debunked it over the
last twenty years. You know, we

103
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:52.279
know it's not real. However,
it's not stopping this wave of maybe it's

104
00:08:52.360 --> 00:09:00.320
it's an enthusiasm, a blind enthusiasm
that's just promoting every piece of Bigfoot uh

105
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:09.200
paraphernalia just popping up on the internet. It's true, there is a there

106
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:16.159
is a photo that's that's come up
again, which has been debunked in the

107
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.519
past, but yet it still comes
back up. It's supposed to be a

108
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:28.679
baby Bigfoot photo. It looks like
a stuffed doll. Is it a stuff

109
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:35.200
doll? Most likely it is a
stuffed doll. We got our friend Jeff

110
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.960
Thomas posting in the chat Jeffrey R. Thomas. Of course you can go

111
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.000
check him out also on Facebook.
I'm a shameless show, folks. If

112
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.039
we've got our famous friends in here
popping in, I'm gonna promote them because

113
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:52.200
I want to bring up Jeff Thomas
after the news break. Okay, he's

114
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.559
gonna have to stick around for that. But going on what you just said,

115
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.919
Henry, Uh, there's again.
Okay, I don't have the picture

116
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.360
here, but there is one that
this is one of the best photographs of

117
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:11.000
Bigfoot ever. And it looks like
it's sitting with its back to the camera,

118
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.759
leaning on one arm, sitting on
the ground. What I clearly see.

119
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.759
No, that's not what that is. That's a bear itching its neck

120
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.279
with its butt in the air,
and you see its hind leg, assuming

121
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:30.080
it's an arm, that is a
bear. But you know, there we

122
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.240
go again. No, this is
the best. Please is don't call it

123
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.200
the best until there's a definitive evidence
that it is the best, and it's

124
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:46.799
not. Ill, go ahead,
bake elga. I think the big problem,

125
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.600
and this is the conversation I have
all the time, is people go

126
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.759
out in the woods and they see
these things and they must assess it is

127
00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:00.399
that one thing, and they focus
on what it has to be, what

128
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.080
the evidence proves right. And I've
always said that I believe the stories people

129
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:11.200
give me unless they start bloating the
story. Like I was at the Mothman

130
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.840
presentation. We just talked about Jeffrey
Thomas when he's explained to me about his

131
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:20.000
sighting and he's up on stage explaining
he doesn't add fifty items to it.

132
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.120
He's like, I think I saw
something. I'm not one hundred percent sure

133
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.799
what it was. If I would
have been not alone and that somebody could

134
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.200
have told somebody where I was or
made sure that I got back, I

135
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.480
would have ran after this thing.
But he didn't say I clearly saw this

136
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.399
thing, and then an alien came
down and we almost had a baby that

137
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.200
you know, you know, But
here's the thing. Is like, if

138
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.559
you listen to the people like the
one thing I hate the word is experts

139
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:52.120
because if you talk to the people
that I respect, and I always respect

140
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.799
people like Lauren Coleman, I know
I get crap for that, but Jeff

141
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:03.240
Meldrum, I respect Cliff bare because
when I've talked to the people, I

142
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.240
respect Sean. You know, when
I talk to the people, Oh my

143
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.679
god, is that Chaka? Is
that Chaka? That's that's the that's the

144
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:24.120
baby photo lost Chaka. Just let
it go, man. But the people

145
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.679
that the people that I talked to
at all all these conferences at different spots,

146
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.559
never say they're experts, say that
they're learning about something, and they

147
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.679
even admit, you know, I've
had conversations and they even admit that they

148
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:45.320
understand that fifty percent of what they're
talking about is guessing and myth. Okay,

149
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.000
they're never they're not saying I'm one
hundred percent sure this track is this?

150
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:54.159
Even like I respect Eric Eric founder
really nice tracks. But even him

151
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.159
at the bottom, he said,
you know, this has all the telltale

152
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.320
signs, but I want to make
sure before I say I've put one hundred

153
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.759
percent of my basket and this must
be this right, you know, And

154
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.080
those kind of people I respect compared
to the one that's like, oh,

155
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:16.120
no, it comes over every Tuesday
and we have pie. No it doesn't

156
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:26.120
s Yeah, there are no experts
on a thing that doesn't you can't touch,

157
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.159
you know, right, They're they're
experts. There are experts in primatology.

158
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:41.840
There's experts in in biology ecology.
Uh, those are experts that help

159
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:48.759
us in the field. Uh.
But there's no one here and no one

160
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.120
on earth right now that you can
say is a Bigfoot expert. Uh.

161
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.200
You know, the closest thing you
have is you have you know, like

162
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:03.679
doctor Jeff is studying you know,
the anthropology with the with the locomotion of

163
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:11.120
primates, and that includes a big
spectrum of animals. Again primatology could it

164
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.639
does include that. But to say
that you're an expert something that has yet

165
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:22.600
to be proven to exist is a
fallacy. At this point, you have

166
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:31.080
people lending their expertise and the field
of study to a subject for scientific purposes,

167
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:37.399
right, Like, And that's the
differentiator. And so when I start

168
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.440
seeing the terms like expert and listen, we've all been on different podcasts where

169
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.919
the host or the promotional people have
promoted a Bigfoot expert, Like I can

170
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.039
assure you none of us put that
in our bios and we're putting that out

171
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:56.440
to people to shop around for gigs. It's just something that was, you

172
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:01.879
know, something done to attract interest. Thing right. It is half the

173
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:09.399
headlines for bigfoot shows or cla clickbait
clickbait now and it's just not something that

174
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.039
you know, I want to partake
in and participate in. Kasu Ninja says,

175
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.200
if there was a Jane Goodall equivalent
in a big foot field, then

176
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.559
maybe right. And you know that's
the problem we do lack, but we

177
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.879
lack a body for one, right. And I think when you start looking

178
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.600
into the skeptical argument, you know
there is an importance to skepticism. You

179
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:35.159
know it. You know it helps
advance the knowledge, It challenges assumptions that

180
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.639
are made. It really makes us, you know, push harder to collect

181
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.639
better evidence and think critically. But
do you not think there's also a a

182
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:50.360
subset of skeptics that are just as
worse as true believers, yet they're just

183
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:56.360
so based off their dogma that they
won't concede the point. And I'll tell

184
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.240
you I've seen this. I'll see
I've seen this firsthand. Over the weekend

185
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.879
and uh, you know, for
a lot of groups out there that promote

186
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.919
the skepticism and they talk about you
know, you know, there's a lot

187
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:14.519
of ad hominine attacks that happen to
the people that are making these claims on

188
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.080
the on the collective whole of the
research. You know, they can't even

189
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.840
make an argument without making it a
physical attack. Bigfooters are fat and stupid.

190
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.720
Well, some of us are fat. We like to eat and we

191
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.799
like to take a goat trip,
that's right. But some bitch you call

192
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.159
me stupid, I'll kick you in
the nuts because I, uh, you'll

193
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.840
see how quick I can lift my
fat ass to kick you in the nuts.

194
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:42.440
Uh. So, you know,
just be careful, Like I really

195
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:47.919
think that that's the fallacy. Like
to me, I would be more inclined

196
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.399
to want to talk to skeptics if
they could do it without the vitrol,

197
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:57.559
right right. And you know what
a lot of times, Sean, I've

198
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:03.559
noticed because I out look, I
have conversations just with general public. Not

199
00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:08.279
that I do this twenty four to
seven, but I'll have a conversation and

200
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.480
I get a skeptic. I learn
a lot from the skeptic because they'll throw

201
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.799
me a couple of ideas, going
wow, I really never thought of that

202
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.440
aspect of it before. A lot
of skeptics say, well, there's no

203
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.519
body, there's no evidence, and
nobody's found one yet. I get that

204
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:30.359
that's that's just kind of the dome
covering the entire subject, but some people

205
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.799
have brought up some really interesting points. I'm like, well, I never

206
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.359
thought of that before, and this
is why I think the skeptic is really

207
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:45.160
important in this entire field and research
and the discussion that we're having in the

208
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:52.240
arena of ideas. So what I
always believe, and the fact is that

209
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.119
I know that I come off as
a skeptic, and I am, but

210
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:03.680
I'm not. My big concern is
is that if if tomorrow they found out

211
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.559
that there was a certain kind of
bear that a cleft toe, and only

212
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.839
one and three hundred bears had that
cleft toe, and it left a specific

213
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.559
print that we've been looking at for
years, okay, and it had it

214
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.200
walked a little bit more on its
hind legs because of the way the toe

215
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.640
structure was, okay, and then
you know, if we found that bear

216
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:27.240
existed and we could see it now, if somebody's been following some of the

217
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.359
researchers, you know, they always
say that for every three hundred bears,

218
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.599
there's one softquatch. You know.
That's where I got the number, you

219
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:38.039
know. But if you think about
it is then you could look at you

220
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.519
could say, Okay, this could
be this, or this couldn't be that.

221
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:48.519
But like if Matt Tomorrow found a
track, you want somebody skeptical to

222
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.400
go through it with Matt, and
Matt's also going to go through it in

223
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:57.200
his head, going Okay, this
track was here, these are the animals

224
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.839
I know are in the direct area. Yeah, these are the animals that

225
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:06.400
it could be. These are the
animals it definitely couldn't be. And then

226
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.599
he's going to break it down to
the most core part to see what it

227
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.799
could be or couldn't be. And
then maybe he'll call me and go,

228
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.599
hey, what do you think?
And I'll go, well, did you

229
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.480
ask these critical questions too? Or
he'll call Sean Okay. But the thing

230
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:23.839
is it's not I think. Where
we get fighting, and we always get

231
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:30.240
fighting, especially in communities as they
are, is when someone attacks the possibility

232
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.680
of your evidence, you take it
personally instead of looking at it scientifically.

233
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.720
Like I've never attacked anybody on there, on them personally. I've looked at

234
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.599
what they showed me, and then
I told them to stop circling pieces of

235
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:52.039
paper. Okay, you know,
but you and you make a valid point

236
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:57.359
there. But because it also to
the point where there's no unity in what

237
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:02.920
the accept of accept of evidence is. And then when someone brings us evidence

238
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.079
that's just not good enough and we
say that evidence isn't good enough, then

239
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.640
it becomes the or you don't like
me, you don't like my evidence,

240
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.279
it's just garbage and I'm stupid.
No, nobody said that. What we

241
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.200
said is that this particular evidence that
you brought to us is just not good

242
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:25.519
enough. Does that sting? Absolutely? But does that make it untrue?

243
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.279
No? Does it make it?
It makes it, you know, a

244
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:36.240
fallacy of the scientific process when we're
just going to accept anything and everything because

245
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:40.200
we feel it's evidence, not that
it's actual evidence or that it's good enough

246
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.400
to actually do something with. We
could go out there and take forty two

247
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.680
hundred impressions that we find in the
ground. Matt and I, Matt,

248
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.359
you and I were out in the
woods up and we started seeing impressions and

249
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:57.319
we followed the impressions all the way
up until we got to something that we

250
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:03.000
said, you know what has now
translated from an impression in the ground to

251
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:10.000
a footprints. And our conclusion was
this is a bear, yes, and

252
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.599
it's a pretty nice size one.
But we could have looked at those footprints

253
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.000
at the beginning and said, oh
my god, here we go big footprints

254
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.200
yep, because that's what we wanted
them to be. So they can't be

255
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:26.000
anything else. They have to be
bigfoot. And so we we we followed

256
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.240
these We don't follow the footprints.
We just take the first two or three

257
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.559
that we see. And if we
would have just followed it to the logic

258
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:37.319
to the conclusion where they stopped,
we got to the answer just by following

259
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.599
you know, basic principles. Here
here following the eel brick road. You

260
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:47.559
know, we just had a black
bear in central Illinois. Uh. I

261
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.720
can guarantee at some point that's going
to happen and there's going to be a

262
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:56.240
big foot report of tracks in central
Illinois. And here there's you know,

263
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.720
uh, the camera traps and the
ring doorbell pictures and with this black bear,

264
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:07.440
they're not common in central Illinois.
But you I can guarantee it's gonna

265
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:10.720
happen. Somebody is going to file
a report, and I'm going to keep

266
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.880
my eyes completely peeled and say,
yeah, let's go back to the whole

267
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:19.000
bear thing. That's a good point, you know, And I think I

268
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:22.519
think, like I said, is
where I think we have to draw the

269
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.839
line is look at what you know. You can't be gun ho on both

270
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:33.920
sides. You have to. Science
requires skeptics because otherwise we would be testing

271
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.079
harmful things on us all the time
to try to cure some disease and cause

272
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.920
six other ones. Right, you
got to have a you got to have

273
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.480
somebody else that goes, no,
dude, that won't work. You know,

274
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.960
Hey, let's not let's not shoot
heroin into your system and say that'll

275
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:53.039
fix cancer. Yeah, let's not
do that. Okay, let's just not

276
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.240
not make funny, you know,
treatment a little bit more enjoyable. But

277
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.200
no, I know what you mean. That's a good point. I mean,

278
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:04.440
But but you think about it is
you always have to have a secondary

279
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:10.920
group. The one thing I don't
like about is, and Sean kind of

280
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:15.119
brought it up, was is the
true believers in the skeptics. If you

281
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.960
believe so much then believe. That's
fine. If I don't think you don't

282
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.200
think my evidence is good enough,
that's fine, then walk away. If

283
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:29.720
I think that Bigfoot was never real
and it's imaginary and everybody's crazy, then

284
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.319
I need to walk away and let
you guys do your own thing. Hey,

285
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.400
you're the one spending the money on
trinkets of crap. I can go

286
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:40.559
over and go, you know,
go do something else. But it's the

287
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:44.599
ones that are variantly like show up
at like Ohio Bigfoot and go, oh,

288
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:45.839
you know why I'm here? This
is so stupid. You guys are

289
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.319
idiots. You know what, you
paid one hundred and thirty dollars to give

290
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:56.000
me an opinion. I don't e
f and care about. You know.

291
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.400
It's like these people they go.
It's like the people go to rallies and

292
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:06.000
go I hate you, or go
to some person's concert that they hate.

293
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.960
I'll take two hundred and twenty five
dollars till Taylor Swift she sucked my whatever.

294
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.480
I'm like, so you pack two
hundred and twenty five dollars for her

295
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.319
to her later on, she's gonna
be, you know, eating lobster and

296
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.799
hanging out on your two hundred and
twenty five dollars so you could maybe get

297
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:26.200
a chance to argue with the great
one that you hate. You waste a

298
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.920
lot of time, folks, if
you're listening, we are accepting Patreon support

299
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:36.200
and our earnings for as little as
two dollars a month. We can send

300
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:45.400
James Baker to a Taylor Swift.
She will never forget it. I'll swiftly

301
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:51.880
that right. Man. We do
fel like in Palestine, Ohio, oh

302
00:24:53.960 --> 00:25:00.839
ooh. But you know what I
think. Though I I've had my own

303
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:06.640
experiences that have allowed me to craft
my viewpoint, I'm still very skeptical about

304
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:11.279
most of what's fed to me or
positioned to me. And what I get

305
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:22.519
irritated about is this constant, this
noodling or needling from skeptics and say we're

306
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:26.799
not skeptical enough. And I just
totally disagree with that. And so like

307
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.480
when we're talking about some of these
things, we've been advocates for a long

308
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:34.519
time for the standard of evidence to
be better and for us to be more

309
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:42.039
selective and to educate ourselves to collect
better evidence. We just need folks to

310
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:45.759
join us from that other side of
the table and help us create that.

311
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:49.480
Right, you know, instead of
shooting your mouth off, why don't you

312
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:53.400
be part of the solution, said
part of the problem, right, volunteer

313
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:59.400
your time and services. Can I
interject just a real quick question to the

314
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:04.000
to the panel here, do you
think for each day that goes by in

315
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.480
two weeks from now is going to
be a little bit different that? You

316
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:15.160
know, actual sighting reports become more
minimal only because of the fact of our

317
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:23.200
expansion into these areas and into the
research where maybe if the creature is real,

318
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:32.440
is becoming more and more and more
elusive till it's an extinct being at

319
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:37.599
some point it can only be so
elusive. And to the point Baker says,

320
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.319
either it's incredibly smart as abilities that
we aren't able to comprehend or detect,

321
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:49.640
or it doesn't exist, right,
And that's a sad realization. Okay,

322
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:52.880
but you know Baker has said that
for years. Yeah, and I

323
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:59.519
and I agree with the statement that
we've been using quite a bit lately.

324
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:10.359
Uh, think Bigfoot last, mm
hmmm mm hmm. What were you thinking

325
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:17.880
about it? I thought Henry was
gonna talk. I didn't want to.

326
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:27.480
Well, that's the thing I can't
take credit for. Think Bigfoot last Shelley

327
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:33.240
coming to Montana came up with that. I'm just telling him, Oh,

328
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:41.200
well, I'm so mad here.
Let's keep talking, Henry, Well,

329
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:51.200
I get no, but but yeah, that's that's the thing. You have

330
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:53.680
to think, Bigfoot last. You
can't go out and say, well,

331
00:27:55.160 --> 00:28:00.640
this track is made obviously made by
a sasquatch. You have to cast it,

332
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:07.200
photograph it and send the cast off
if you can, or make a

333
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:11.519
copy of it. Send it doctor
Melder and see what he thinks. Right,

334
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:19.200
Scott posts it was Amy Boo herself
described as a hopeful skeptic during a

335
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.160
presentation, and think of what she's
doing in the field. It's a really

336
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.119
good point, guy, you Ninja. Should we call it evidence though,

337
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.799
or data? And that's a good
point. We probably should call it data

338
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:36.440
until it's sufficient enough where we could
decide it's evidence or somebody decides that it's

339
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:41.920
evidence quality. J Michael, you
have to be skeptical towards your own experience.

340
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.799
One. I agree with that to
no end. I think when we

341
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:52.440
start, when we stop processing and
questioning what we experienced, we go into

342
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:57.400
that danger zone of true believer.
And I call that a danger zone because

343
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:04.480
a true believer the tendency is to
stop critically thinking and that everything in anything

344
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.640
is bigfoot and that's not the case. And nine times out of ten,

345
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:15.920
that becomes where we spend the majority
of our time focusing on that bullshit as

346
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.880
opposed to that one percent we need
to be out you know that we could

347
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:26.119
be missing real data right because we're
spending time arguing about stuff that we just

348
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.400
know, you know, wanting to
believe something in it being in existence are

349
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:37.880
two distinctly different things. And I
just we we have to we have to

350
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.799
be smarter than this, and we
have to start coming up with some standards.

351
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.839
There are some great organizations out there, the na b r C,

352
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:52.200
the NAWAK, you know, the
Olympic Project, you know what We're going

353
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:59.000
to be launching up here in Pennsylvania, Matt with you know, Darby Orcutt.

354
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:03.079
You know, like there's a lot
of people involved in this endeavor now

355
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.440
that are really trying to come up
with a new standard. Doug Hichick.

356
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.200
When Legend Meet Science two comes out, there's going to be a whole new

357
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:18.559
a whole new ways to collect collect
this data, collect these samples. That's

358
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.599
just going to be marvelous things that
we didn't have ten years ago that how

359
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:29.599
many of us have taken that time
to grow and learn ourselves to be able

360
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:37.279
to understand and collect and do this
this new type of evidence collection, right,

361
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.799
And that's what it's going to come
down to, is you're going to

362
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.519
have to you know, because we've
had how many conversations with people that they've

363
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.960
spent months, weeks, years in
a certain location because they thought they saw

364
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.720
something. And then you you,
they show you this bag of evidence,

365
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.880
and you don't want to hurt their
feelings because it is their baby. You

366
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.519
call it whatever you want, but
it's there. It's there. They've been

367
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.079
believing this for years. They're hyped
up, they're excited to show you,

368
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.559
you know, and then you go, well, dude, that's a dog

369
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:10.519
hare and by the way, that's
a circle and a tree stump. You

370
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:14.240
know, you've been wasting three years
of your life when you know maybe you

371
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:17.440
could look somewhere else, you know, and I can see where it hurts

372
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:23.759
people. But sometimes sometimes, unfortunately
in life, somebody has to explain to

373
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.759
you that you're wasting your time.
And it does. You don't have to

374
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:32.400
be mean about it, but at
the same time, you've got to be

375
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:37.400
realistic, or at least what you've
got to do is say that's really nice,

376
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.359
bless your heart, and then move
on to somebody else. You know

377
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.480
that way, then you're not wasting
your time with that. We're going to

378
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.200
take our break here real quick,
guys, but kaiji ninja. Once again,

379
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:53.200
I think there would be less skeptics
if more new data were presented,

380
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.559
not the same stuff such as footprints, hair, audio, et cetera.

381
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.480
We can call that data, but
we need something more more than that,

382
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.079
and deactly that's I think that's the
bottom line on that. We're gonna take

383
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.279
our mid show break here. Folks. Stick around. You're listening to the

384
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:14.400
Sasquatch Experience on Facebook anywhere you can
stream Instagram right now. We're also alive.

385
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:19.240
We'll see in just a few on
those folks. Stay care. Like,

386
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.640
one thing I've never understood is like
the foot fetish, Like, are

387
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:27.200
you guys together right here? Yeah? Pelling you guys been together five years?

388
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:32.319
Wow? Do you ever suck on
her feet? Now? Would you

389
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:44.200
if you had a different girlfriend?
Ah? Yes, you know. I

390
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.720
think it might be a cool idea
to have a little subgroup here at the

391
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:54.519
Sasquatch Experience called the Foot Fetish.
Maybe that'll be our movie night name the

392
00:32:54.599 --> 00:33:00.960
Foot Fetish is gonna watch a movie. Sean's over here smacking himself in the

393
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.359
head. It's my show, dude. Stop making stuff up. Anyway,

394
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:10.119
Happy Monday Night to you all.
I hope you're having an enriched Monday Night.

395
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:16.640
In a past week, and I
was going through certain newspapers to find

396
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:22.000
articles, and hey, I came
across this from the New York Post last

397
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:30.680
week and the headline reads, terrified
teens spot bigfoot with glowing eyes in a

398
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:37.839
Louisiana forest. Call nine to one
one for rescue now. The article goes

399
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:43.759
on to say a group of terrified
teenagers called police in a panic after they

400
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:50.200
claimed they ran into a growling,
Bigfoot like creature with glowing eyes. Officials

401
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:57.880
said the recent high school graduates from
Huma in southern Louisiana were camping in the

402
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:06.039
Kisachi National Fest. Kasachi National Force
is about one hundred miles northwest of Baton

403
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:13.039
Rouge when they reported a chilling encounter
last week. According to the knacka dish

404
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:19.719
these big words, boy, I'm
telling you nak a dish perish Sheriff's office,

405
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:24.800
they recalled seeing a large animal that
resembled bigfoot shortly after they set up

406
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:30.719
camp about a mile and a half
off the Backbone Trail in southern Nakadish Parish.

407
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:37.320
According to police, around nine twenty
pm on June twenty eighth, one

408
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:43.239
member of the group, who were
all seventeen and eighteen years old, called

409
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:47.239
nine one one after they reportedly hurt
a growl and saw what appeared to be

410
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:52.880
an animal that had glowing eyes and
stood about five feet tall. According to

411
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:59.280
the Sheriff's office, deputies responded to
the scene and walked to the camp site.

412
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:04.880
Vigilant for any mythological creatures. They
followed the sound of the teen's whistles

413
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:09.480
to the campsite and found the teens
frightened but unharmed, and they were safely

414
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:16.320
escorted out of the forest by deputies. Despite a thorough investigation, deputies were

415
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:23.960
unable to locate any suspicious activity involving
a growling creature with glowing eyes standing five

416
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:30.039
feet tall. This is not the
first bigfoot sighting in the Kasachi National Forests.

417
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:36.559
Two self proclaimed bigfoot researchers, who
only provided their names as tax Law

418
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:43.159
and Claude to avoid ridicule, claimed
in twenty nineteen, they had a visual

419
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:50.960
and audio evidence of the Cryptid's existence
in the dense six hundred thousand acre woods.

420
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.920
When we come back, we'll keep
pounting that same thing in your head

421
00:35:55.039 --> 00:36:05.000
over and over until you go.

friend Eric Altman is doing the Pennsylvania
Bigfoot Camping Adventure yet again this year on

Thanks again for listening to this edition of

441
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:45.760
the Bigfoot Bullhorn right here on the
Sasquatch Experience, and as always, until

442
00:38:45.880 --> 00:39:10.559
we meet again, keep your toes
in the mind. We will not be

443
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:17.000
using the Foot fetish as any type
of marketing for this program. Good evening,

444
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:21.920
folks, welcome back Sasquad Experience on
Hooker Vance Nez but Henry May,

445
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.719
James Baker and Matt Arner as we've
been talking about here, at least for

446
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:32.000
the last about twenty minutes, we
have been talking about the skeptical viewpoint right,

447
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:37.440
skeptically speaking, and how we need
to inject a little bit more skepticism

448
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.320
into what we're doing. But I
think again we have to reiterate we're not

449
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:49.480
talking about those uh, you know, dogmatic you know naysayers. It's you

450
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:52.880
know, we want people to really
truly embrace the skepticism for what it is

451
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:59.880
and the spirit of skepticism, which
is respectfully challenging and critiquing, adding input

452
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:06.719
and you know, disproving assumptions,
not the you know, ad hominine attacks

453
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:14.960
and the you know, just agnant
positions they take where those the firm positions

454
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:19.440
where it just cannot be. Because
I say so, I think that takes

455
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:23.519
just as much evidence as us,
you know, trying to prove his existence.

456
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:28.639
And then again you have the true
believers. While we were on our

457
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:30.840
little news break there, just catching
up with some comments, J Michael,

458
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:35.639
I know what I saw, but
there's no way I can translate that experience

459
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:39.079
to It's actually a good segue into
our next topic. Carleen says, I

460
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:43.920
think it's the same for everything.
A skeptic as a future believer who still

461
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:47.199
needs to have their questions answered or
needs to see more evidence. I don't

462
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:52.880
want to say a future believer,
but as somebody I think who maybe has

463
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:59.960
the potential to be encouraged and have
their mind changed, have their mind changed

464
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:04.599
by the evidence. Right. So, all very good comments there, but

465
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.559
as Jay says, it's hard for
him to translate his experience. Again,

466
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:13.239
we look at one of the things
we tote as the one of the principal

467
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:16.840
foundations on the existence of bigfoot guys, eyewitness accounts, And Matt, I

468
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:21.920
really want your input on this because
you have a law enforcement background, but

469
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:27.559
often cited as evidence, but they
are accounts are not reliable and therefore not

470
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:34.119
scientifically scientifically convincing. Human perception is
easily fooled, so it's difficult to rely

471
00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:37.719
on what people say they see,
especially if they already have belief. So

472
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:43.199
you're influencing your own, uh,
you know, mind of what you've seen.

473
00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:47.039
But you know, then again,
when we look at this, you

474
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:50.840
know, and Matt, I'll let
you give you a few viewpoint. We

475
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:54.760
rely on eye witness testimony a lot
in our legal system. We do,

476
00:41:55.079 --> 00:42:06.559
so how do we translate that to
some workable, uh, workable piece of

477
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:12.119
data collection and science. Well,
if you have an eye witness for a

478
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:15.599
crime, the first thing that you
need to to you know, to show

479
00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:22.199
is a crime did actually occur.
So, uh, the the mini mart

480
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:28.119
was robbed, you can you know, you can show that the mini mart

481
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:35.760
was was robbed. There's a Mini
mark store and that the person that that

482
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:39.079
went in, you know, we
have an eyewitness that can identify that person.

483
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:45.320
For the most part, it's a
you know, you can say that

484
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.559
we are all human beings, so
that we exist. So we know that

485
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:53.360
a, you know, at the
store was robbed and b it was a

486
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:58.039
human being. For the most part, I've seen some weird things happen,

487
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:04.079
especially if you're down in Tennessee.
I saw bears breaking into cars. But

488
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:08.360
anyways, you can say that a
person, you know was that it was

489
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:15.280
the you know, person responsible,
that suspect, and I'm able to identify

490
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:23.280
that that person with the sasquatch.
We don't know that it exists completely.

491
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:30.280
We have these eyewitnesses that are coming
forward. They're giving excellent, the very

492
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:37.000
detailed descriptions on what they saw.
We're interviewing these people. I'm training in

493
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:45.920
interviewing interrogation. I'm training the read
method of interviewing. I'm very apt on

494
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:52.360
finding deceptive behavior, and I have
seen that in a few eyewitness encounters,

495
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:54.760
but there are some that I have
not. You know, I did not

496
00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:58.880
see that this person was telling the
truth. Now, the one thing is,

497
00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:04.159
again you're looking for reception. You
know, could have been a bear

498
00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:09.639
walking on its hind legs. That
the person saw something large, hairy that

499
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:15.559
was walking on two legs, that
was about seven feet tall. That's always

500
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:22.079
possibility. And they but if they're
giving a detailed description and they're not showing

501
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:25.360
these deceptive behaviors and they're saying,
listen, this thing had a cone shaped

502
00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:32.039
head. It had shoulders, you
know, in a chest that was that

503
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:37.840
had to be you know, at
least sixty inches around, if not more.

504
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:40.199
You know, it had arms that
that went down, you know,

505
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:44.679
past the knees. I was able
to see a face. You know,

506
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:46.760
I didn't see a snout. I
saw, I saw a flattened nose.

507
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:51.880
I saw you know, the green
skin. I saw eyes that you know

508
00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:55.519
are in pretty much the same area
that we are. It's things like that

509
00:44:55.519 --> 00:45:00.679
that really, you know, open
up our mind as to you know,

510
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:06.000
there must be something strange out there
in the woods that people are seeing.

511
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.800
Again, we have the proof on
it. Right now, real quick.

512
00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:14.199
I don't mean to step on you, but I want to get this thought

513
00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:19.760
because we're still on this topic.
Do you find that when you have a

514
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:24.679
witness that has so much detail that
it's actually concerning, that it raises doubt

515
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:29.360
and credibility to you when somebody just
seems, you know what, man,

516
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:34.480
they either really had the best you
know, ability to digest and take an

517
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:38.559
information so quickly, or they're really
making some they're filling in their own blanks

518
00:45:38.760 --> 00:45:45.079
making well. It's interesting because usually
when people have these encounters who are not

519
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:52.960
the you know there usually a lot
of witnesses have some sort of trauma I'm

520
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:57.840
connected to seeing something like this because
they're not expecting to see a seven foot

521
00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:00.519
harry creature across the road in front
of them, we're or uh you know,

522
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:04.679
walk behind them when they're hiking into
woods. So so there's there's some

523
00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:07.280
trauma. And usually when there's trauma, what we found is a lot of

524
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:14.960
times with victims or witnesses, they
will occasionally not remember you know, a

525
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:20.320
specific uh you know, identifiers,
you know, with uh say, with

526
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:22.880
the with the suspect, you know, with the person wearing a hat,

527
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:27.400
I'm not sure, you know,
like you know what what was the person

528
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:30.599
wearing? You know, I'm not
sure. And usually that has a lot

529
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:34.119
to do with the trauma. And
now when we do have somebody that comes

530
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:37.519
in and says, oh, I
even saw the wrinkles, you know it

531
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:40.440
it had you know, this salt
and pepper hair and it you know,

532
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:46.400
its hands went a certain way.
You know, either they didn't experience a

533
00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:50.199
lot of trauma or again, there
they could be filling in the blanks.

534
00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:53.400
But again, when when we do
talk to these people again, we're giving

535
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:58.119
them, you know, we'll do
some baseline questions to see, you know,

536
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:02.360
what their reactions are and how how
they react to to certain questions and

537
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:07.760
how they answer them. And then
well we do see that they're not giving

538
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:15.400
deceptive behavior when they're trying to you
know, again it's uh, you know,

539
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:22.119
we we do run into that quite
a bit. You know. There

540
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:24.519
seems to be also a point to
again, sorry, do you mean to

541
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:30.719
step on anybody that they're on your
to your point, Matt, a sense

542
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:38.039
of embellishment in order to make the
picture bigger of the experience that the person

543
00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:43.639
had to be taken a little bit
more seriously. Sure, and so there

544
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:49.199
is a slight sense of embellishment of
well, instead of five feet tall,

545
00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:53.440
it was eight feet Well, I'll
tell you my biggest and you know,

546
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:59.800
I do keep an open mind,
but one of my my biggest complaints I

547
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:07.400
guess us about the bigfoot community is
the size of these things. And uh,

548
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:10.199
you know, they'll you know,
they always do the tree measurement,

549
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:14.960
you know, and well did it
go up to this branch? And a

550
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:17.400
lot of people again, when you're
in a fearful situation and you're seeing something

551
00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:22.519
that you you've never seen before and
you were told doesn't exist, and and

552
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:27.639
they see something peeking behind the tree
or or over by the tree, they're

553
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:30.440
going to make it look a lot
bigger than what it actually was. And

554
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:36.159
yes, we're getting some big footprints, but uh, you know, really

555
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:40.880
from some collective data that I'm getting
is, especially in Pennsylvania, we're not

556
00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:45.159
looking at you know, eight or
nine foot tall creatures. We're looking at

557
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:52.159
six to seven foot tall creatures,
you know, And uh yeah, yeah,

558
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.760
well, and and again you know, we even have you know,

559
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:04.239
the little people was at the altbut
which I think it's called Yeah, so

560
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:07.599
so again, you know, we're
you know, I think when when people

561
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:10.960
come in, oh my god,
it was ten foot high. You look

562
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:15.719
at that, and you look at
when people talk about bears, And I

563
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:20.679
always use bears as a good example. I live in an area. I

564
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:22.960
mean, granted, I could be
sitting here right now and a bear can

565
00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:27.519
climb into my backyard because they're the
mountains right behind us, and the bears

566
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.320
are out all the time. But
if no one's as familiar with the bears,

567
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:34.000
are going to think, oh my
god, that bear that just you

568
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:37.360
know, walk down the street.
It has to be you know, four

569
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:40.679
hundred five hundred pounds. Well I
saw the video, you know because on

570
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:45.800
my ring doorbell where I saw the
picture that the neighborhook and you know what,

571
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:47.840
that's only like one hundred and fifty
pounds bear. You know. So

572
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:52.440
when people will, especially when they're
fearful of something, they're going to make

573
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.519
it look bigger. They're going to
make it seem, you know, meaner

574
00:49:55.519 --> 00:50:07.440
than what it actually is my own
size and weight. Right, So I

575
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:12.119
want to go back to your whole
mini mart experience. So I used to

576
00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.639
work at a mini Martin got rocked. It was a two minute experience,

577
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:22.400
and I can explain detailed what happened
and things like that. So I tell

578
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:31.239
the police what I remember, and
then this is where this is now.

579
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:36.639
They were trying to they were drunk
and trying to steal from me, and

580
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:44.480
they wanted smokes, and it's a
whole thing. But I they left,

581
00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:47.599
I explained how there was no weapon
involved. This happened here, you know,

582
00:50:47.679 --> 00:50:54.000
and then the police asked me follow
up questions and then they see us

583
00:50:54.119 --> 00:51:00.239
side basically like there was a camera
behind me. Hey, the door as

584
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:02.519
a thing on it that says,
hey, this is six feet, this

585
00:51:02.639 --> 00:51:06.880
is seven feet, this is four
feet. Which one did they fall in?

586
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:10.519
What did they look like? What
were they approximately wearing this' and this?

587
00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:19.039
But like and that's where I think
sometimes we get it's not as much

588
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:22.559
you're being skeptical. You want to
get the whole picture because they can be

589
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:25.320
the guy. When they caught the
guy at the next convenience store trying to

590
00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:30.519
rob that guy, which was like
ten minutes away from my store. My

591
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:35.599
information made it easier for them to
catch him while he was trying to do

592
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:39.639
it to the next store. But
the fact was is that the police asking

593
00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:45.199
me the extra questions, checking to
make sure I was saying things, saying

594
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:47.519
what I thought, to look at
the camera to shay, hey, you

595
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:52.679
notice this tape is here. Some
training I got as being an associate said

596
00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:55.360
hey, by the way, if
you're ever robbed one, don't fight him,

597
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:59.519
dude, don't leave the store.
Three give him you know, Like

598
00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:02.239
we had a list of rules,
and you know that helped me. And

599
00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:07.800
I'll say, survive the experience.
And like, you have people that are

600
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:13.519
seeing this thing and they're not they're
not trained to see this thing. They're

601
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:17.679
not they don't have the base training
I had. But also is sometimes they

602
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:25.360
feel either ashamed or they're on edge
when you start breaking down what they saw

603
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:30.400
by questioning it not you're not questioning
in a negative way. You're questioning it

604
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:35.840
to understand. And if worker has
worked with me for years and he knows

605
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:38.360
on the other side of this coin
how irritated people can get with me.

606
00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:44.320
I make questions to understand so that
I can project it in my head properly

607
00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:49.159
and that we can have a real
conversation because I understand much like the other

608
00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:52.960
gentleman said, is I can't understand
his sighting, but if he answers my

609
00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:58.159
questions and we have a real dialogue, I have a better chance of trying

610
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:04.280
to empathy. Yeah. And that's
where I think the skepticism comes out in

611
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.440
me multiple times, where people go, well, you just don't believe.

612
00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:14.800
I don't believe. I don't believe
I have enough information to understand what you

613
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:19.960
saw so that I can believe in
you. And that's a good point.

614
00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:27.599
Jesus, you're a baker. I
love it. So. The other thing

615
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:30.679
too, that that change brought up
to is when we're when we're going in,

616
00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:35.599
we want to keep our questions,
uh open questions. We don't want

617
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:40.239
to lead to a leading question such
as you know, was it you know?

618
00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:44.039
Are you sure it wasn't over six
feet tall? Are you sure it

619
00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:50.079
wasn't uh you know this, or
you know where you're you're actually planning suggestions

620
00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:57.559
into the into the witness. And
I do see a lot of researchers sometimes

621
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:02.039
doing that. I've seen that on
on some YouTube videos, and all that's

622
00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:08.960
doing is just it's you know,
almost fabricating a new memory, you know,

623
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:14.920
basically for that person if you like
James. You know if the if

624
00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:17.760
the tape said that, you know
it was messed up and it was a

625
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:22.840
seven there instead of a six,
you know, would you and they said

626
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:25.119
it was up here at the seven
or you know, can you confirm it

627
00:54:25.199 --> 00:54:30.239
was the seven? You would think
that that person was seven feet tall?

628
00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:34.400
Right? And also the fact is
is like when when I had to go

629
00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:37.760
to court, the DA's like,
I just want you to tell the story,

630
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:38.480
and he's like, and I was
like, don't you want to go

631
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:40.519
over? I said, no,
I don't want to taint what you're gonna

632
00:54:40.519 --> 00:54:44.639
say. We know what you said
in the incident. We know what he

633
00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:47.400
said. And honestly, I never
had to go to court because they had

634
00:54:47.440 --> 00:54:52.519
so much evidence on this guy from
the three different stores he roped that his

635
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:57.679
buddy turned him in because he was
drunk and was deceating burritos. Didn't realize

636
00:54:57.679 --> 00:55:00.199
what was going on. He was
just hanging with his body. It's a

637
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:04.679
whole story. I think I've told
pork of this one, but for the

638
00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:07.360
Patriot, we'll talk about it the
night baker. But the fact is,

639
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:13.239
though, is that that is a
that is how it works, you know,

640
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:16.119
with this kind of investigation like the
other day, I'm mowing the lawn

641
00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:22.039
up at the land and I see
poop, And I didn't become I didn't

642
00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:23.960
become a poop expert. But in
a way, you know, you're kind

643
00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:28.440
of like, okay, dear poop
a certain way, rabbit poop a certain

644
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:30.880
way. This was longer poop.
But I'm like, okay, I have

645
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:37.239
camera wise seen bears. I've also
seen cat like creatures that could be a

646
00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:43.519
coyote or a or a bob you
know, something in our area. I'm

647
00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:45.039
not sure what the cats are in
our or it could just be a fricking

648
00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:50.440
cat, but it didn't look like
you know, and the neighbor occasionally watches

649
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:53.320
his dog in my area. So
then I looked at my cameras and I

650
00:55:53.400 --> 00:55:58.639
didn't see anything that coalesced with that. But the fact was is like you

651
00:55:58.679 --> 00:56:02.079
look at your evidence and and you
expand, like if I if I see

652
00:56:02.800 --> 00:56:07.880
if I have a track here,
okay here, then I want if I

653
00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:08.920
can get my finger to work,
right, I have a track here,

654
00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:14.519
Okay, where's the food source,
where's the water source? Why would it

655
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:19.079
be here? What's important that it
happened to be traveling through here all the

656
00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:22.920
little questions you would ask, do
you know what I mean? And as

657
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:29.719
long as you can. That's where
being scientifically skeptical is not hurting anyone,

658
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:36.239
it's it's helping. Because that way, then you can say, Okay,

659
00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:40.400
it's a bear, because I've got
camera footage of a bear squatting in the

660
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:45.360
woods, and I got squat that
could be bears, you know. But

661
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:49.239
if you didn't try to figure out
what it couldn't have been, then you

662
00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:52.719
could be like, oh, it's
gotta be sasquats. You know, you're

663
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:54.800
in the middle of an urban area
with forty cameras that didn't see anything,

664
00:56:54.840 --> 00:56:58.800
but you got a little piece of
turd that's gotta be a sasquats. No,

665
00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:06.920
a guy that didn't use a baggy
because he's a wow to go after

666
00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:09.920
your neighbor. Thing. Well,
listen, now we're we're at the bottom

667
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:13.320
of the hour and I'm the stand
of the show. Guys, we got

668
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:16.960
to do a part two. Yeah, because we've hit there's we got to

669
00:57:17.159 --> 00:57:22.880
point two. We didn't even hit
population size, habitat and hoaxes yet,

670
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:28.039
so we've got a whole if if
you don't mind now, I do want

671
00:57:28.039 --> 00:57:32.360
to plug a Facebook group that me
and and Henry both belonged to. I

672
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:39.440
know some people don't like it,
yes, yes, and uh Steven Struffer

673
00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:43.480
we got to get him on the
show, uh in one of these days,

674
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:49.320
because again he would be perfect for
this. But it's a coalition for

675
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:53.239
critical Thinking and Bigfoot research. Uh. Steven Strufford runs a great group,

676
00:57:54.079 --> 00:58:01.840
and I've had some really good discussions
on there with people that are one skeptics

677
00:58:02.440 --> 00:58:08.599
and it's uh, you know,
I there might be one or two uh

678
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:12.599
you know, discussions that might get
out of hand, but for the most

679
00:58:12.599 --> 00:58:16.760
part, Steven does a great job
administering it, you know. And he's

680
00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:23.559
just been uh you know, uh
he's like a textbook skeptic, but you

681
00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:29.159
know he's Aaron Willow Creek and uh
you know, I mean he has you

682
00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:30.280
know, people coming to him all
the time. He's part you know,

683
00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:36.880
he does a lot of work out
in Bluff Creek as well. So you

684
00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:42.239
know, like I said, that
is an excellent group for for skeptics and

685
00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:47.800
believers alike, and for some very
decent discussion in Henry, I I think

686
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:54.679
I'm hoping uh you know, you
agree with that, Oh, absolutely absolutely,

687
00:58:54.719 --> 00:58:58.800
I agree. It's a great group. I just want to leave us

688
00:58:58.840 --> 00:59:02.360
with one thing, Thomas Steinberg.
As Thomas Steinberg always says, stick to

689
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:07.679
the facts and never deviate from the
facts. We're gonna end it on that

690
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:14.199
you're not that one up. Up
the link to that what you guys were

691
00:59:14.239 --> 00:59:16.440
talking about, though, and then
people could follow it easier. Henry,

692
00:59:16.440 --> 00:59:21.280
I'm so madly. We'll post it
in the We'll put it, We'll put

693
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:24.639
it in the show notes and on
the uh in the Facebook promotions when we

694
00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:27.920
do the show. Folks, I
want to thank each and every one of

the conversation tonight, guys. You all

700
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:52.280
were wonderful. Henry. Take us
