4
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:24.600
got someone or something crawling around out
here? Does a legend walk among us

5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:31.879
working in the forests of our world? Do you see what it was?

6
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.320
Well? That a person or an
animal or I can't go all I knowed

7
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.079

I hid that with a glimp. And

8
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.399
see this thing running across the yard, A good sized man or something worked

9
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:51.399
like a man. I don't know
what it was. For over fifteen years

10
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:57.320
we've talked with scientists, researchers,
investigators, and witnesses trying to gain insight

11
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:07.640
and truth around the existence of this
mysterious entity. Jesus quite hello, Get

12
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.280
somebody out of here. What's going
on? Amount there? I thought of

13
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.920
a bittus about sixty four? All
right, I don't know easy amount there?

14
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.000
Yes, I'm looking right out.
Okay, hang on right, Get

29
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.159
guys, we're here to talk about
swamp apes. The swamp Apes Part

30
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:13.960
at three. Here Season seven of
the Sasquatch Experience A Part three we've been

31
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.520
kind of going in this impromptu series, and I think we've had some good

32
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:22.360
trips along the way. Matt,
thanks for joining us here tonight. We're

33
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:27.159
really glad you stop by. You
were highly recommended by Mike Ann and we're

34
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.639
just glad you joined us. Oh
well, I appreciate you having me.

35
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.439
I hope I can live up to
that what we do too, because as

36
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.360
the cabell No, I'm kidding,
I'm just kidding. Matt, Central,

37
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.680
Florida says it, all right,
how did you get started into this bigfoot

38
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.759
mystery? I take it it probably
wasn't as traditional as everyone else. Actually

39
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.759
it kind of was. I about
four years ago, I don't even think

40
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.560
I had been on YouTube other than
a quick popover. Didn't understand it and

41
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.120
popped out. I mean, I
don't I can't even tell you what I

42
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.919
watched. But about three almost three
and a half years ago, I had

43
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.039
knee surgeries, laid up and kind
of like week two I was going crazy.

44
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:12.960
You know, you're out for five
weeks. So I had a left

45
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.160
knee replaced, and that really started
for me. You know, I just

46
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.399
jumped over on YouTube and somehow something
popped up on my feed locked us,

47
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.800
Monster washed it, Stonehenge washed it. You know, just kind of went

48
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.759
down the rabbit hole from what I
remember doing as a kid and landed on

49
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.560
big Foot and got called up with
some big Foot channels, where you know,

50
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.680
I kind of got up to speed
real quick about what Bigfoot world was

51
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:47.120
all about, and just kind of
was a follower of every channel I could

52
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:56.000
possibly follow for about a year,
and then started hearing, you know,

53
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.279
stuff about Florida, because I,
like everybody else, I thought it was

54
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:06.759
the Pacific, you know, northwest. So I started listening to some channels

55
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.240
they started talking about Florida, and
one day someone said, well, you

56
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.040
know, you can do it anywhere. Just get off the couch and go

57
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.879
check out the woods near you.
And I started doing that. And there's

58
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:21.199
an interesting story to that. Because
I started doing it like everybody else does

59
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:27.519
it. I started emulating all the
channels I was watching, which is really

60
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.000
funny because I'm actually a professional photographer, made my living with a camera,

61
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:39.600
you know, for fifty years now. So I just started doing everything that

62
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.000
you see the channels do. And
then one day I went, wait a

63
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.319
minute, is this how I would
do it as a professional? No,

64
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.000
And so I flipped the script and
then just started approaching it a totally different

65
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.040
way. But really it was through
knee surgery and just you know, recovery.

66
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.399
I hear a lot of stories.
They're all real, real similar.

67
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:02.160
Actually, now you were you said
you were flipping through YouTube found a whole

68
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.839
bunch of different uh uh, you
know, content creators and researchers out there.

69
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:11.399
What were some of the things that
really interested you in starting this.

70
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.399
I mean, you know, you're
laid up trying to get back out there,

71
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.519
professional photographer. What did you think
you could do a little differently or

72
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.000
what was your impetus to, like, you know, I just got to

73
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:25.680
do this. Well, focusing the
camera was number one. Um, I

74
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.879
already I already have that down.
So I really often refer to myself as,

75
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.319
uh, not so much a researcher. But well, at first that

76
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.920
first year, I did emulate,
and I used an iPhone and I did

77
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.759
what everybody else was doing. And
then I went, wait a minute,

78
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.720
I got gear, you know,
I got knowledge, I can I can

79
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.519
do better than this. And when
I started flipping it, what interested me

80
00:06:50.959 --> 00:07:00.160
was what I call forest language,
what other people referred to as evidence of

81
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.240
a bigfoot and so I got hooked
on the bins, the breaks, the

82
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:10.720
glyphs, anything you would find,
you know, normally walking through the woods,

83
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.759
and that whole first year, you
know, I went for hook line

84
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.519
and sinker that, Oh my gosh, this is this is bigfoot, you

85
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.639
know, and it must be bigfoot. I hadn't noticed this stuff before.

86
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:28.079
And watching these channels, I know, I watched them channels that are probably

87
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.199
I would I wouldn't watch today,
nor would I recommend today for new people

88
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:38.519
entering the field. But I did
kind of jokingly, I say, I

89
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.560
got my master's degree off a couple
of channels that are really the channels I

90
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.720
would recommend today. And I'm not
one for, you know, throwing grenades

91
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.839
on people. You know, there's
entertainment channels, and then there's research channels,

92
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.040
and then there's other things. But
I kind of come at it like

93
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.160
now a year later after I got
into it, like, wait a minute,

94
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.480
I'm not a researcher. I'm a
hired gun. I'm coming in as

95
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.199
a gun slinger, and I'm looking
for movement and I know how to use

96
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.560
a camera. I'm looking for sharp
focus, and I'm using every tool I

97
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.839
can throw at it, including gimbals, telephoto lenses on gimbals, I don't

98
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.639
see anybody doing that. I don't
see anybody walking with a two three hundred

99
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.040
millimeter lens stabilized one hundred yards on
a woodline in front of you as you're

100
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.519
walking, or over the shoulder.
You see a lot of this GoPro stuff

101
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.159
over the shoulder. It's not gonna
ever move the ball forward. So I

102
00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:35.759
started using gimbals, and I started
going down the rabbit hole night vision,

103
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.360
you know, ten ADP night vision, and then in the fleers and two

104
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.480
seventy blinds, and just started really
buying equipment that I thought would get me

105
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.879
out there. So that's really it. I just approach it as as you

106
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.039
know, someone coming into Carson City
and I'm the gunslinger. Everybody's got to

107
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.480
worry about, and I'm not gonna. I got trouble the first three four

108
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.519
months when I started. After a
year, I started my talking channel like

109
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.720
this, and I kind of overstepped
one night and said, you know,

110
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.480
if you're into Bigfoot ten twenty thirty
forty years, I don't. I don't

111
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.840
want to talk to you. I'm
not interested at all. And anybody was

112
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:16.840
like, what do you mean by
that, I, well, you've been

113
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.240
doing it so long you don't have
anything. You know, from my understanding,

114
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.960
fifty years, we don't have anything. So no, I didn't mean

115
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.159
that they're stupid and I didn't want
to hear anything from them. I just

116
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.080
didn't want to be tainted. I
didn't want to learn practices that weren't best

117
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.720
practices, and so I meant that
in a respectaful way, but it came

118
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.440
off wrong. But it took me
about two or three weeks to really articulate

119
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.039
what I really meant. It's not
that I disrespect them in any way.

120
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.240
It's just like, I don't really
want to know what you're doing because I

121
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.840
need to. It tells me that
if nothing's been done in fifty years,

122
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:58.240
I need to approach this as a
baby bigfooter that I am, and just

123
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:03.000
not be not had these people going
off on ear that this is how you

124
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.879
do it because nobody knows how to
do it. No. I think one

125
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.960
of the more important thing is though, that Matt, you're bringing in a

126
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.919
professional level of ability. And one
of the things I've talked about for a

127
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:20.039
long time that a problem that's very
pervasive within the community is that we're not

128
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:26.600
technical experts in the field where we
really need to be. And from Matt,

129
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.519
Matt and Eye's perspective, you know, part of the reason why we

130
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.600
haven't gotten real good evidence in the
last fifty sixty years is because nobody knows

131
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:39.159
how to collect it right and instead
of taking the time, which people are

132
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.200
doing now, but instead of taking
that time and learning, it's uh,

133
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.960
you know, we seem to be
stuck in that constant loop of repeat.

134
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.519
And where I think is beneficial and
I think you know, something that I

135
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:56.360
appreciate about Mike Ann and about Matt
and you know others is that there is

136
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.440
that desire to get better and learn
so we can collect better evidence and finally

137
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.720
get some proof because we kind of
need it. We're really, I personally

138
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.279
believe that without silent evidence, we're
running out of time for things to be

139
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:15.519
taken. Seriously, you know,
it's already on borrowed time in some aspects.

140
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.080
Yeah, I agree with that,
you know, Matt, I would

141
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:28.879
like to, oh, go ahead, Henry. Oh, just it's always

142
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:35.200
interesting how a creature so harry as
the skunt gape can actually survive in the

143
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:52.799
humidity of Florida. I think,
I think Henry makes a valid point because

144
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.240
today I tried to work on my
shed and like I felt like I lost

145
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.279
thirty pounds and sweat in two minutes. And I'm not in four hundred to

146
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.799
six hundred pound creature covered in complete
hair, especially on top. But I

147
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.600
mean, like that's that's the one
thing. But we also have to look

148
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.960
at the fact this, and I
think Henry would agree if he's still alive

149
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:22.799
over there, is that we are
we are not We are prone to our

150
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.039
environment too. So like people live
in Florida where coats in September. When

151
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.559
I went to Florida in September,
I wanted to peel it all off and

152
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.799
not die and not get arrested,
you know, and they're wearing coats.

153
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:41.039
There's people in California and eighty degree
California weather and they got sweaters on.

154
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.000
You know. You look at you
look at the old timey pictures of the

155
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.919
people from the Old West, and
they had full on suits and like,

156
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.120
you know, like dresses that were
like you know this thick, you know,

157
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.960
yet they weren't dying in the street. But we go out in seventy

158
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.360
five eighty degree were and a little
bit more humidity and We're all like,

159
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:11.679
oh my god, this is just
hell. You know. So train yeah,

160
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.200
and you know, I think I
think about the heat question a lot

161
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:22.799
um. We're kind of having to
suspend um what we were trying to accomplish.

162
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.879
I got a trailcam way out.
I mean, I mean we're talking

163
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.720
way out. It's like four hours
by e bike out, okay. And

164
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.360
to put some people may ask,
well, how do you get four miles

165
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:41.240
out in a wildlife quarter? You
know, in Florida, it's not it's

166
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.720
not hard to do, but Florida
set up like other places. You know,

167
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.600
you pull off the side of the
road, there's a trailhead, you

168
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.399
park, and there's these preserves that
are fairly good sized. Nothing to like

169
00:13:54.080 --> 00:14:00.240
you know what's up north in the
northeast or the northwest. But you you

170
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.399
got to understand you can't get through
them. You know, you can be

171
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.759
a mile and not make it across, which we discovered a couple of weekends

172
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.759
ago. We were both facing heat
distress in some ways, and the two

173
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.639
weeks before that, my partner Brian, tried to go out and retrieve the

174
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.200
camera on his own to surprise me, and he went down a couple of

175
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.000
times and I found out about it, and I said, don't don't ever

176
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.000
do that again. The camera's not
that important. The first we put it

177
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:35.000
out there, we both had to
stop and I had on my ebike,

178
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.720
I had a little soft pack of
ice that was frozen with a couple of

179
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.039
Seltzer's in there. And thank goodness, you know that we were prepared with

180
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.519
the water and stuff, but we
had to stop in one little shady area

181
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.080
and literally just just I had to
put ice on them, you know that

182
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.240
we were and I was feeling it
too. It wasn't just Brian. But

183
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.200
what to the point Now we're going
to have to kind of slow it down

184
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.360
and think smart and work, you
know, switched to kayaks and stay on

185
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.919
the e bikes. And there are
some stuff you can do by truck,

186
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.559
you know. There are some stuff
you can get into some really gnarly roads,

187
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.480
you know, with a four wheel
and you can get back there.

188
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.559
So we're just gonna have to suspend
the off trail like we were doing.

189
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.360
I mean we were going three miles
in by truck, a mile two miles

190
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.679
out by kayak, down a creek, hiding the kayaks, and going another

191
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.279
mile to two miles out you know, through the swamp, you know,

192
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.840
pretty much all of it off trail. I'm getting too old for that,

193
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:37.840
you know, and and because I'm
obviously older than you guys, but it's

194
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:45.000
um, it's dangerous. I'm realizing
that with my knee and my health that

195
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:50.679
I gotta work smarter and I'm trying
to work faster. But the water question,

196
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.519
the heat you all brought up,
is interesting and I kind of diverse

197
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.879
to that. But but I have
a theory about Florida swamp eight because I

198
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.720
am out there. I do know
how thick it is. I hear people

199
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.200
all the time, and there can't
be anything in Florida and not in a

200
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.519
corridor. You know, you're you
know, you're crazy, Matt. Well,

201
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.000
anybody's welcome to come down. Anybody
is welcome to come down. I'll

202
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.559
take you out and I will make
a believer out of you really quick.

203
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.159
I think water plays a key role. And I think a lot of times

204
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.919
they're in water, meaning they're suppurged
in water, laying on their backs,

205
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.080
laying on their stomach. I mean
that's if they're out there. I don't

206
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.440
even know if they're out there,
but I've been out there. I felt

207
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.600
the heat. If these things are
covered with hair, they gotta be in

208
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.879
the water. And if you think
about it, if you ever laid in

209
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.399
a bathtub and put your ears underwater
and just listen to your household around you,

210
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.559
it's like the old put in your
ear when you watch the Old you

211
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:55.120
know Zoro and Tom Too and all
that, where they used to put their

212
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.799
ear to the train track and fill
the vibration of the train because you know,

213
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.360
when you're standing up, think can
hit you and you won't even know

214
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.079
it was coming. But you put
your ear to the ground, it's a

215
00:17:03.079 --> 00:17:07.640
different story. If you submerge your
ears and water, it's a totally different

216
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.839
story. And when you realize that
that that could be a game changer.

217
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.079
You're never you know, people are
going. You and Brian are too loud.

218
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.359
You're too loud. You're in the
woods talking, dude, You're not

219
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.960
going if this thing is there,
you're not going to sneak up on this

220
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.839
thing. But to counter that,
we go out and wind and rain.

221
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.960
We're not afraid to go out in
thirty five forty mine hour win knowing that

222
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.640
hey since gone in one direction,
you got a fighting chance on three other

223
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.480
directions, and the one day we
did that. Two months ago, we

224
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.200
were almost gored by like a six
eight point buck charging us down a game

225
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.680
trail because we were way off trail
and we didn't see it. It didn't

226
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.519
see us until we were face to
face. It lowered its head and came

227
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.720
right at us, missed us by
like ten feet. And I did catch

228
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:59.759
that on camera on the back end
of it going by because I swished my

229
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.480
pro from a chess mount. Bad
practice. If any of you all wearing

230
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:06.839
a GoPro in your chest get rid
of it, not the way to do

231
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.799
it, my opinion, and everything
I say tonight is my opinion. But

232
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.640
as soon as I moved it to
my helmet and put my GoPro on my

233
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.200
helmet and stabilized it with a stabilizer
lens, a model lens that they make

234
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:23.359
for the GoPro nine, ten and
eleven game changer, and guess what it

235
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.799
got off my chest? You don't
hear like the one I just released the

236
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.400
chapter, I just releases all breathing. But once I moved my GoPro to

237
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.000
my helmet, it fixed the breathing
problem. And then I also moved my

238
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:38.759
recorder to my helmet and faced it
backwards. So I'm I'm running an h

239
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:45.119
in one back there, so like
Mike and taking cues from Mike. I'm

240
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.880
constantly evolving how I work and use
the gear, and I switch off a

241
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.240
lot. But I'm coming up with, you know, a series of best

242
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.759
best practices that I'm trying to pass
on to new people coming up. But

243
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.960
you know, you don't go Scooba
diving without taking a scuba class and learn

244
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.680
about decompression and in depthing and you
know decompression sickness and stuff. Well,

245
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.799
why in the hell would you go
looking for a sasquatch and not take a

246
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:15.160
film class. I don't get it. So that is my pet peeve that,

247
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.359
oh I want to go out and
start a big foot channel and go

248
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.720
look for bigfoot and they're running around
with a GoPro and an iPhone. Well

249
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.599
that's fine. I'm not saying you're
not gonna get it in Florida. You

250
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:26.720
know, what do you use in
Florida when you hunt? You use a

251
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:32.559
shotgun? Or you do you use
a thirty at six. It's a different

252
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:37.119
ball game in Florida. So GoPro
is not bad in Florida, but you

253
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.240
have to have you have to be
able to think of some other things.

254
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.559
And I'm thinking of those other things, like when I hit a prairie,

255
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.440
my eyes are at a hundred yards
and my cameras at one hundred yards.

256
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.119
But my camera one hundred yards is
like your camera from twenty thirty yards.

257
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.079
It's a different ball game, right. You know, Matt, this begs

258
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.880
the question, and you know,
Shaun it myself, a few others have

259
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:07.759
had this conversation in the past.
Older technology, and we're talking forty year

260
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:15.319
ago technology, it seems to have
had more prevalence in being able to capture

261
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:22.599
things such as a castete recorder regarding
the CIRA sounds regarding the PG film on

262
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.640
a hand wound not bad or reoperated
piece of equipment. I'm wondering what your

263
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:36.119
opinion is if okay, well,
there you go, right. I'm wondering

264
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.920
if you find greater success with older
technology in order to capture something instead of

265
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:48.000
something that's giving off frequency, even
as such as a trail camp that may

266
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:55.759
have infrared and just makes it peculiar
to creatures. I understand there are some

267
00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:00.599
creatures with a smaller brain capacity that
may not understand or think of it as

268
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:06.200
a threat, but a creature with
the larger brain capacity may see it as

269
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.039
a threat and stay away from that
area. I'm wondering on what your take

270
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:17.079
is on that. Well, this
is where I go into my I mentioned

271
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:22.000
on my trailcam that I bought a
Reveal black black light trailcam, and that's

272
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.400
what I'm catching all these shots with. And I remember pulling that out and

273
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.519
someone goes, oh, Matt Man, you went with a trailcam. Everybody

274
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:36.200
knows that bigfoot can see infrared.
I don't listen to any of that stuff.

275
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.960
That's where people get tripped up and
get themselves in trouble until I prove

276
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.920
that or see that myself. But
I tell you my Reveal trailcam, the

277
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.640
one sixty nine that satellite sends me
the images I can download high res load

278
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:57.680
both videos. And still I have
yet to have any of those bobcats raccoons

279
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:02.359
I got a kyle. I know
their feeding pattern, I know they're hunting

280
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:06.160
pattern. After twelve weeks, I
pretty much know what they're doing. Not

281
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.240
one time did they look at the
camera. Right, Okay, So I

282
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.799
haven't run into that, so I
can't say that's true or all at all,

283
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.720
Nor do I go by those rules. I go by my rule of

284
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:22.079
experience and what I have experienced,
and so I'm not again, I'm not

285
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.880
disrespecting anybody that's out there, but
like life as a pathway, he's really

286
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:32.200
good with trailcam. I go to
him for my trailcam knowledge if I need

287
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:36.359
something like that. But I'm not
gonna not use a piece of equipment or

288
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:41.079
switch to analog equipment just because everybody
says my phone goes off you know this,

289
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.759
or that the batteries die. I've
had stuff like that happened. My

290
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.720
phone went off into the last chapter
I produced, they finally went off and

291
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.079
started playing something. Never had that
happen to me. But if you look

292
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:56.759
at the video I release, I
never once said it was bigfoot. I

293
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.359
didn't even react to it like it
was bigfoot, and neither did Irant.

294
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.240
You know, I'm still in the
flesh and blood camp until I think otherwise.

295
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.319
But then I'm also someone who has
seen a ghost with two other people,

296
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.960
and we all saw the same thing. So it's not like I'm not

297
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.880
open to it, but I'm not
ready to go portal. And you know,

298
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:23.119
I who was just kind of looking
more for your unbiased opinion as far

299
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:30.480
as equipment goes, and the possibility
that you have a larger skull, a

300
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:36.160
larger brain capacity that may be able
to I'm just throwing it out there,

301
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:42.839
that may be able to understand peculiarity
a little bit better than white tailed deer

302
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:48.480
or raccoons that might be in the
area. That's all. Yeah, I

303
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.799
mean, I'm I'm taking this out. I'm gonna probably wrap up this year

304
00:23:53.119 --> 00:24:02.519
taking the sixteen millimeter out a lot, but it's more on the the benefits

305
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:06.079
of having the documentary and having it
out there. But I tell you,

306
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:11.400
analog equipment is loud. You know. DSLR shutters are loud. This sixteen

307
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.920
millimeter camera. I don't know if
you all heard this thing run. It's

308
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:23.799
probably some of the issues I have
but with the PG film. But right,

309
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:34.079
yeah, it's not UM plus it
it's heavy and so um I don't

310
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:38.240
have any problems with And you know, I was gonna do a test,

311
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:44.240
and I was gonna use my channel
as a tech channel and say, this

312
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:51.799
is a film DSLR next to my
digital Lumix, next to a GoPro and

313
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:56.279
shoot frame by frame by frame and
do all this stuff. But I don't

314
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.880
need to do that. My my
popp into big Foot World for the next

315
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.799
year. I'm going to be here, you know, that'd be my third

316
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.119
year. I kind of made a
goal of myself. I'm gonna be like

317
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:14.200
an investigative reporter photojournalist popping for three
years and then kind of, you know,

318
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.039
not produce film for consumer consumption,
Like this is me going out in

319
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.400
the woods. Look at me.
I want to just go private with it.

320
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:23.599
I'll have my group of friends,
i will share footage. I will

321
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.400
always have two cameras running. And
that's another thing. I run two cameras

322
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.400
all the time. If I'm not
if I'm running a GoPro, I'm running

323
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.319
an iPhone. If I'm running a
GoPro, I'm also running. My loomis

324
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:38.200
on you know, stabilized on a
gimbal so and I start that as soon

325
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.279
as I walk away from the truck. So there's not going to be in

326
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.960
this stuff. Or if my iPhone
is in my pocket, a big foot

327
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.599
walking across the road. You know, if you're gonna do this, how

328
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:52.599
many stories have we heard like that? So best practices be running all the

329
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:57.400
time, right, you're not shooting
film? Film is expensive, you know,

330
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.759
so why not buy three three cards
and run all the time. My

331
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:06.759
GoPro run five six hours on a
disc. Ye have. I gotta you

332
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:10.359
know, pretty good sized disc in
this thing. But I'm also using the

333
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:14.920
mode lens on it. I'm using
that stabilized lens on it. Yeah,

334
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.079
so it goes, it goes down
from four K to two point seven K.

335
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:22.000
But so am I going to give
away the digital advantage just because someone

336
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:29.279
told me that these creatures can sensus
stuff. I'm not there yet. I'm

337
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:33.240
not there yet because to me,
all the sightings are road crossings or happenstance

338
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.119
crossings. It's not like their crossings
with us, the six of us going

339
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.519
out looking for Bigfoot. You're not
seeing anybody doing anything like that. So

340
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.319
the is just be prepared. Have
a dash cam, you know, if

341
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.519
you're if you want a knee bike, put you know, front and back

342
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.799
facing cameras on it. When you're
just out and enjoying the woods having fun.

343
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.160
I think that's how it's going to
happen. It's not gonna happen with

344
00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.119
us, not I have to agree. I think you're right. I do.

345
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.599
That's just how I'm at now,
you know, Yeah, I mean

346
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.519
this kind of this kind of takes
away from it, but I do want

347
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.480
to throw this out here um with
you, with your your skills and knowledge.

348
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:17.640
Is I've been taking out a digital
SLR with the zoom lens when I

349
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:23.440
when I go out um anymore?
Um is there as a photographer, do

350
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.920
you want that to be an automatic
or do you want to set the focal

351
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:34.039
length UH, the ISO, the
f stop to a certain uh setting to

352
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:38.359
get that that shot that you know, far away shot. What would you

353
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:45.799
suggest for someone that's carrying a digital
SLR camera that that wants to take uh

354
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.720
photos like that and would have it
ready to take a photo if they do

355
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:56.279
see something crossing or something in the
distance. Well, I'll tell you I'm

356
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.839
on automatic of the time, okay. And the main thing is if I'm

357
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:06.039
not running it, well, I'm
pretty much on my Lumix. I have

358
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:08.279
a pretty wicked Lumix camera. If
you haven't seen it, it's on one

359
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.720
of my earlier videos. But the
lens when extended, I have it right

360
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:15.720
there. I could get up and
grab it, but it's alms. It's

361
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:21.440
an FZ twenty five hundred, so
the lens is basically a twenty eight millimeter

362
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.799
to a four hundred and sixty millimeter. Wow, and so. But it's

363
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:30.200
also I can put the lens.
If I'm holding up this flash drive,

364
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:34.759
I can literally take the lens and
touch it and it's focused with the lens

365
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:38.839
hood on, which is about that
far. It's focused. Oh wow.

366
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:45.279
Okay, So tell me in bigfoot
world, what else do you need than

367
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:52.079
a camera that shoots from three inches
focus to get hair samples, fingerprint samples,

368
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:57.079
whatever, and be able while live
on auto have the camera literally touching

369
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:00.480
the lens, pull away into something
and guarded thirty yards ahead of me.

370
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:07.920
The focus is instantaneous. You cannot
run an analog camera that fast correct correct.

371
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:12.920
And the other thing about the limits
is the fcent when the lens extends.

372
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:17.000
When you turn it on, the
lens extends, and when it extends

373
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:22.400
it stays there. It doesn't it
doesn't grow or shorten. It stays at

374
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:26.680
a fixed focal length. The elements
inside is what's moving. Okay, and

375
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.359
see what's happened when you put that
on a gimbal and like if you were

376
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:33.960
to have a nikon or a cannon
with a one oh five on againble and

377
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.599
take it off. I want to
do some wide angle video you got to

378
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.000
set down and rebalance everything, and
you're not going to find a level place

379
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.400
in the woods to balance. So
that's the problem with the gimbal. You

380
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.079
get one shot at it on your
truck bed before you go out, and

381
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.960
God forbid you fall like I did
the other day, or walking down a

382
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:57.079
sidewalk. But I would stay on
otto. The main thing you need to

383
00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:02.359
learn other than just being on auto
and have it running continuous. If I

384
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:07.039
could give any advice would be know
how to put it in manual focus.

385
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.920
How many stories have you heard were, well, that's a big foot,

386
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.880
but it focused on the twigs in
front of them. Dude, that's not

387
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.960
an excuse. That's not an excuse. It's one switch of the thumb and

388
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:26.599
you you grab the front Len's element
and you focus, and you can lock

389
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.440
focus on there and stand there and
shoot all day, and you can lock

390
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:33.079
back and forth around the twigs.
If you think it's still behind this twig,

391
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:36.640
you can go up and down and
your camera's gonna lock focus because you're

392
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:41.359
in manual focus. So I would
stay on auto focus most of the time,

393
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:47.960
but b know how to use manual
and that's really all you need to

394
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.759
do. That is excellent advice.
So it is. Yeah, it is

395
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.279
very good, Matt, Matt,
great questions folkus. We've got to jump

396
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.319
into the mid hour break. I'm
sewn the fort chap Forker vance has been

397
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.119
James Baker, Henry May, Matt
Arner, and our guest tonight, Matt

398
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:06.039
from Central Florida. Bigfoot folks,
stick around, We'll be right back.

399
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:17.839
Steve a symboy running your thoughts for
campers in Tawas County. The Sheriff's office

400
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:22.559
is sharing safety tips on social media
to protect yourself from yep big Foot.

401
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.039
The Morning says they are coming out
of the high country to feed near the

402
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:32.279
Kern River. They recommend not running
from or chasing big Foot, maybe because

403
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:37.119
it doesn't exist, but they do
suggest you take pictures if you see one.

404
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:42.200
Ah. Yes, another news anchor
who knows nothing about everything, blowing

405
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:49.680
opinions out of soup cooler. Welcome
Monday night to the Sasquatch experienced Bigfoot bull

406
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:55.599
horn. I hope you're all having
a good Monday night. Let's jump right

407
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:59.880
into it as to what this story
has to do with a correlation of big

408
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:07.359
Foot. Out of Nebraska, a
goat was captured after weeks underlining weeks on

409
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:13.039
the loose. Back on July thirteenth, an escaped goat that a looted capture

410
00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:20.079
for several weeks in Nebraska was finally
captured by animal control officers. Lincoln,

411
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:25.480
Nebraska. Animal Control said in a
Facebook post that it's Goat Interdiction task Force

412
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:31.640
to have A task force to capture
goat was mobilized when the goat was spotted

413
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:37.799
near Leech Camper Sales in Lincoln,
Nebraska. The goat had been spotted on

414
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:42.400
multiple occasions during the past few weeks, and at one point let authorities on

415
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:49.680
a chase through the University of Nebraska's
Lincoln's East campus. The post said that

416
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.720
the goat was finally captured thanks to
the help of a fence and the awesome

417
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:59.359
employees at Leech Camper Sales. I
suppose the task force was nowhere to be

418
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:04.279
found, but the goat was taken
to the Humane Society. Now you suppose

419
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:08.160
of this goat was six to ten
feet tall and walked on two legs that

420
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:14.400
a fence would have stopped it.
The brain of a goat and it remained

421
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:22.079
elusive. Correlation and a tropical bird
spotted for the very first time in Pennsylvania.

422
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:29.200
Also on July thirteenth, a tropical
bird found in Pennsylvania Wildlife Area is

423
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.799
believed to be the first of its
species ever spotted in the state. According

424
00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:39.720
to wildlife experts, the bird,
discovered at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area was

425
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:47.119
identified as a limpkin, a tropical
species not commonly found north of Florida.

426
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:52.920
Birdwatchers had been flocking to the area. I see what they did there to

427
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:57.599
catch a glimpse of the rare visitor. It's when these things happened that we

428
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:01.279
don't expect to see, or a
rarer or new and they show up.

429
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:06.680
Makes it really cool and refreshing and
it's a new burst into the hobby.

430
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:13.400
According to Ted Nichols, president of
the Lancaster County Bird Club, it's just

431
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:19.760
really good moment for birding. The
Pennsylvania Game Commission said in a Facebook post

432
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:24.480
that the visit marks the first time
on record that a limpkin had been spotted

433
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:31.159
in Pennsylvania. When we come back
after this brief break, we have a

434
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:40.800
couple of announcements to make, so
stick around. You're listening to the sasquatch

bit of information, so we're gonna

464
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.800
go ahead. You had another question
for Matt right before we went to break.

465
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.719
I do uh, Matt, I
spend a lot of time out in

466
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:15.599
the field. UM. Just this
past weekend, I had something kind of

467
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:19.239
interesting happened. I'm still trying to
go through it. But can you tell

468
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:23.159
us about some of the experiences you've
had in Florida? Um, you know

469
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:29.119
the experiences that that really stuck stucked
out to you. Yeah. I made

470
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:30.840
a little a little note of that. UM here, let me grab this.

471
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:35.760
I can't see it. I do
post it everybody who knows me.

472
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:43.159
UM, I love that. Like
I said, I'm behind the camera guy,

473
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:46.480
not out for him. But you
know, I did like six or

474
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:52.039
seven little bullet points of of things
that were interesting. UM. No fighting

475
00:38:52.159 --> 00:39:01.199
yet. UM. The first thing
I was exposed to was UM would not

476
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:09.960
or tapping. And that happened when
I was riding a bike, before my

477
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:15.239
e bike days and before my knee
was killing me. But I was peddling

478
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:19.159
a fat tire bike down a trail. I did not know it was not

479
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.119
for bikes. I didn't know that. I didn't read the sign all the

480
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:27.079
way, and I went down the
end and I dropped an earbud on the

481
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:30.079
way and I stopped and get off
the bat bike, and all of a

482
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:34.599
sudden it was like tap, oh
oh, the wouldn't not. But it

483
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.719
wasn't like everyone does, you know
where they take a big stick and they

484
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:40.199
just go wow. This was like
I could get your attention, like just

485
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:46.159
it was just a literally just a
in the woods that you could clearly hear.

486
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:51.440
And I looked and I was just
looking for my earbud, and then

487
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:54.920
all a sudden it was kind of
like I looked up. I wanted,

488
00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:58.079
you know, I've by, you
know, two years in the field.

489
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:00.519
I know what a woodpecker is.
And I went, I don't know,

490
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:04.599
maybe maybe you know they do pauls
and you know. And then that's saying,

491
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.679
oh, it's like and it's over
here, and it's it's on my

492
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:14.280
channel. I wrote it down.
It's um and I put it out here

493
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:16.760
because if somebody knows what it is
and it can debunk it, That's what

494
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:20.679
I'm all about too. Anybody that
knows me, I try to figure it

495
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:27.679
out then claim anything. But there's
probably fifteen wooden knocks and everybody goes fifteen,

496
00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:30.599
it's definitely a woodpecker. I don't
know, but it's episode forty eight

497
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:36.679
on my Central Florida Bigfoot Channel and
it's about a minute minute a half long,

498
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.480
but it's I think it's fifteen knocks. That was kind of weird,

499
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:43.920
and I started getting excited, like
those are the wooden knocks everybody's talking about

500
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:49.480
it. They were, but they
were more like over here, over here,

501
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:52.800
tapped up over here, and then
all of a sudden, four rattled

502
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:57.159
off over here. And it was
a strange thing. It got me a

503
00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:01.079
little nervous. I was in my
solo day and I was a solo in

504
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:07.079
this until something happened. Another thing
that happened, I'll get to that.

505
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:10.800
Another thing that happened is I was
out. I've gone out with a lot

506
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:16.559
of people and I've been blessed with
And I did this in my career too.

507
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:20.960
I had five jobs in five years. And I don't know if you

508
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:23.519
all know what that means. It's
like you learn at an incredible fast rate

509
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:29.760
and then you're board and you change
jobs or a better opportunity to come.

510
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:35.960
And in five years I had the
experience of a ten year ad agency marketing

511
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:40.239
photographer guy, you know, real
quick. And then and I was with

512
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:44.480
these little companies and they beat you
up and then I finally went with the

513
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:49.239
newspaper and there was an audio visual
position opened at a newspaper, you know,

514
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:52.039
running making twelve projector slide shows.
You were the photographer, you were

515
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.320
the producer, you're the programmer.
You had to build the show, you

516
00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:58.960
had stage or so, set it
up and run it for the salespeople.

517
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:01.960
So I kind of went to a
small group to do that. But this

518
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:06.440
is what happened, so I know
it's just working in groups. And then

519
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:13.119
I so I changed quickly and I
followed that model of my business model with

520
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:15.880
big Footery. It's like I went
out with people as soon as I saw

521
00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:20.559
something like, ah, it's not
the direction I want to go. Love

522
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:25.199
you guys, I'm going a different
direction right now. I haven't like really

523
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:31.280
broken ties really badly with anybody,
but I've left some people that I didn't

524
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:35.800
like what they were doing or how
they were going about it. But there's

525
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:39.480
one time we were in a group
and there's about seven of us out and

526
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:43.920
I picked up a stick that I
found on the ground. It was a

527
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:49.159
y branch. It was about the
stick and it was literally the letter why.

528
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:51.440
And I picked it up and I
said, wouldn't this be cool if

529
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:52.960
we found this in a tree and
I jammed it in a tree in front

530
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:59.559
of me like that. Everybody laughed. The other guys were coming up behind

531
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:00.199
me. I said, no,
I don't want to do that, and

532
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:04.000
you know it, they'll think,
you know, I don't. I don't

533
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:05.760
want to do that. So I
took it down. I threw it on

534
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:10.840
the ground. Twenty minutes later,
I'm walking up behind everybody and they go,

535
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:14.719
Matt, they remember what you said
back there And I said, yeah,

536
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:16.159
yeah, what are you talking about? And they go look up And

537
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:21.320
I looked up and there was a
big ben coming up and we were off

538
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:23.480
trail, so it wasn't really a
trail. It was just an open space

539
00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:29.199
in the woods. But there's just
big one inch diameter branch that was bent

540
00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:34.800
over the trail and this four foot
y branch came down and paled itself evidently

541
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:39.199
on it and it was probably four
foot tall, balancing on this tree in

542
00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:43.760
plane view for all of us to
can see. And we all just sat

543
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:49.360
there and looked at it, like
do you think you know, it's kind

544
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:53.840
of like a group where you know, my you know, group thing goes

545
00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:57.159
on and we're all going, do
you think they heard you and put that

546
00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:00.760
put that branch of the tree exactly
but bigger than you picked up, and

547
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:05.360
it's stuck in a tree like this, And it was just really weird that

548
00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:10.320
kind of happened. Then, after
the tree knock bit, I was on

549
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:15.960
the same trail about a month later, and it had rained, and it

550
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:22.559
was August August twenty third, twenty
twenty last time I went out by myself,

551
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.920
And if you were on a ski
slope, it would be the bunny

552
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:31.719
trail closest to the shelter, closest
to the parking lot. I could run

553
00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:37.800
back in probably ten minutes. I'm
out there and I'm giving I'm I'm into

554
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:42.960
the education thing at this point and
I said, hey guys, I got

555
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:45.400
my gimble around my shoulder. I
started to say, I got my gimble

556
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:49.719
around my shoulder today, I got
the iPod, the iPhone on a gimble.

557
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:52.800
I'm trying something new. And as
soon as I started to say that

558
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:59.119
sentence, I didn't know where I
was. I literally didn't know where I

559
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:02.760
was. The water had overflowed the
river. I was in ankle deep water.

560
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:07.760
I looked around and I went I
was on a trail that just goes

561
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:12.079
up here, loops around like you
know, the size of a you know,

562
00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:15.280
ten cars, loops around and comes
back to the parking lot on the

563
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:17.639
other side of the river where no
one goes. It was on the other

564
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:22.000
side of this creek, but still
very close to a parking lot. Dude,

565
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:25.920
I'm not to see anything, so
I didn't know where I was.

566
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:29.719
And then I was. This is
in my first year, so it was

567
00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:36.360
episode fifteen. I call it tree
Falls. I put up a title,

568
00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:40.719
have I Been Zapped? Embarrassing I
to this day. I want to take

569
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:44.679
it down, but I'm leaving it
up there because it shows my growth.

570
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:50.679
So I say, did I see
it was izapped? I'm like walking,

571
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:55.039
and then I put the definition of
zapped. And then all of a sudden,

572
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:58.800
an owl goes off. This is
all two o'clock in the afternoon.

573
00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:05.280
I get lost on a bunny trail. I think I'm zapped, not anymore.

574
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:09.199
I just I don't know what happened. An owl goes off, a

575
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:14.039
second owl goes off, A third
owl goes off, and they're ping ponging

576
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.199
to sound like an owl, but
the third one across the creek the real

577
00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:21.159
river. I was on a creek
but the one across the river did not

578
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:23.079
sound like an owl to me.
And I made a joke, well,

579
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:25.960
you know what they say about owls, and I show what an owl?

580
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:30.519
What they say about the natives about
the owl? And then I always do

581
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:36.440
something in when I'm out in the
woods, I call them you hear about

582
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:40.199
people tell you about bluff charges and
stuff like that. I do this little

583
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:45.159
thing I call random change of direction, and I try not to think about

584
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.079
it because they could be reading your
mind. So see, I had all

585
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:52.199
this bad Bigfoot information stuck in my
brain, and so whenever I think about

586
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:57.360
it, no matter where I'm at, I will change directions and walk ninety

587
00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:01.719
degrees left or right or sometimes around
and just walk right back. It's just

588
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:06.320
a random change of direction thinking.
I used to hunt with my brother and

589
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:09.039
we squirrel hunted, and we used
to always walk down the trail and then

590
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:15.920
bam, two hunters sitting still in
the tree stand shoots the deer out behind

591
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:19.360
us. We never knew it was
coming. It happened year after year after

592
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:22.719
year we had deer shot out as
we walked down the trail, they would

593
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:27.639
come out behind us. So I
did this BLUs charge, and I just

594
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:30.039
walked on. It entered my mind. I went, oh, I'm gonna

595
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:37.079
go over here, and I started
walking into the swamp. Tree falls on

596
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:43.559
camera at zero degrees and I'm using
my iPhone. It falls right at the

597
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:45.199
camera. You can see it come
through the trees. You can see it

598
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:51.480
splash, and I'm going, what
do I do now? And I'm thinking

599
00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:52.559
to myself, what do I do
now? And so I just did my

600
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:57.639
camera up and ended it kind of
dramatic, overly dramatic. And I did

601
00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:00.840
that probably on purpose. And I
was scared, and I got the hell

602
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:04.880
out of there, and I started
bugging up this trail pretty fast. And

603
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:07.800
then I went, wait, what
am I doing? Let's go back.

604
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:12.559
So I turned around and forced myself
to go back, and I realized I

605
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.039
had a trail cam hanging over my
shoulder. So I went out there and

606
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:17.880
placed the trailcam. Very nervously.
I was fiddling. I almost dropped it.

607
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:21.920
Anyway. The next day I got
nothing because I don't even think I

608
00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:24.320
turned it on. I was a
nervous and scared. So then I go

609
00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:27.599
back up the trail and I stopped
and I go into it. I start

610
00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:30.320
working my limits. I set the
iPhone down, I start doing these long

611
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:34.840
zooms. Well, it looks like
I see a nest. And as I'm

612
00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:39.280
walking out there, I see a
footprint, a fresh footprint in the swamp,

613
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:43.719
and I show it. I shoot. It was that a footprint,

614
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:46.480
And I didn't know much about them
at that point because I never expected to

615
00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:50.639
see one, and I overlooked it, just walked right over it and started

616
00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:52.519
going to this nest I saw out
there. I couldn't get to it.

617
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:55.639
It's like knee deep water. And
so I'm shooting, shooting the nest,

618
00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:59.119
and then I turned around and go
back, and I keep thinking it looks

619
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:02.760
constructed, you know, And but
it was about eighty yards away. So

620
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:07.400
I have that all my channel.
I have returned to the nest and evaluation

621
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:15.559
of the nest. But basically what
it looks like is this picture. If

622
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:25.320
I don't drop it anti climatic here
Oh wow wow, okay, yeah,

623
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:30.880
so that's after it had fallen apart. That's three months later. It's the

624
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:44.480
size of a Voltswagon. But what
I shot in the nest, hmm,

625
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:55.880
anybody say anything, it's harder,
so I can't. Yeah, that's one

626
00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:59.880
of the things I appreciate in the
video as you do those, yeah,

627
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:06.719
in the actual film, So yeah, I do these little enlargement bubbles.

628
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:10.119
And what it is is there's a
window. There's like a triangle into the

629
00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:15.119
nest and I shot in there when
and live you couldn't see anything. But

630
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:16.800
when I got back and posted as
somebody goes, Matt, you need to

631
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:21.159
look at that. I want there's
something sitting there, and I went no,

632
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:25.000
So I put it. I put
the video on crankdi luminosity up and

633
00:50:25.159 --> 00:50:35.440
went, holy crap. It looks
like everybody remember the Anjemima syrup for waffles,

634
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:43.800
and looks like the Anjemima iconic image
of Anjemima profile. So what I

635
00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:52.199
see is a profile of a face
looking looking this way. Yet I see

636
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:55.400
eyes, I see nose, I
see cheek, I see ear, I

637
00:50:55.519 --> 00:51:02.280
see black hair and it's and where
the twigs coming down vertically is right behind

638
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:09.159
that is the ear. I see
a profile of a face. Clear.

639
00:51:10.599 --> 00:51:16.400
The problem is it never moved and
I'm shooting video. That's a still frame

640
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:22.960
off of video. By the way, that's eighty yards. Okay, okay,

641
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:29.559
where's the last time you saw a
sharp picture at eighty yards? Okay?

642
00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:32.199
That's my point, So I don't
know what it is. I did

643
00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:36.480
it follow up video I took.
I did Part two Return to the Nest,

644
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:37.960
the part three Return to the Nest. I did a breakdown. I

645
00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:42.039
zoom in on it and I show
it and I slow mow it and I

646
00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:45.400
say, no movement, no evidence, move on, you know, kind

647
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:49.400
of like thing, because you gotta
have movement. I'm all about movement.

648
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:52.719
And that's another thing. If anybody's
out big footing and they're shooting still photography,

649
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:55.360
you're wasting all over time. Go
out, have a great time,

650
00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:59.679
but don't put it on YouTube,
don't put it on Facebook. You know

651
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:05.480
their image in bigfoot world. At
this point, no agree doesn't do us

652
00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:07.920
any good. It's gotta be movement. Fifteen thirty seconds is what and that's

653
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:13.000
what I'm after. That's me the
gun slinger. I want movement. I

654
00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:19.360
want to end the mystery. I
love mysteries big you know Scooby Doo fan,

655
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:22.840
Hardy Boys, you know Tom Sawyer
in the Black Case, the whole

656
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:27.400
Bit, Mystery by Moonlight. Loved
all that stuff. I want to put

657
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:30.239
the mystery to bed, and that's
what I'm trying to do. So that's

658
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:32.840
some of the stuff. And the
biggest change for me was in chapter five

659
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:37.800
of the new series I'm doing,
where I basically said, okay, enough

660
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:45.079
with a bigfoot on the brain,
let me do a real film and let

661
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:51.360
me start over and kind of launch
the Corridor series one through wherever I'm at

662
00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:53.960
video twelve now it should be out
in the next day or two, and

663
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:58.159
let me take a fresh look at
this. And chapter five, I go

664
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:04.239
out with Joey and we're off the
Florida Trail and we go off trail and

665
00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:07.800
find the river. I knew the
river was to the left. We're on

666
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:14.199
the Florida Trail. I'm probably about
two hundred yards off the Florida Trail toward

667
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:19.840
the river. And we got there
by finding you know those little feet when

668
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:22.920
the when the swamp goes up and
the drains out, and you got these

669
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:25.239
little creeks that flow back to the
river. We're walking down one of those

670
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:29.760
all the way. I knew it
had to run into the river. And

671
00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:36.320
we get down there and I find
the seventeen inch by eight inch print that

672
00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:42.440
I do a three D scan on. And I was in the process six

673
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:46.519
months ago or whatever vetting it did, vet it before I found the print.

674
00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:52.440
We had a howl, three howls. I vetted that to the Olympic

675
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:59.440
Project guys, and after that,
I just kinda you know, I'm thinking

676
00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:04.960
that vetting. Okay, let's talk
about vetting. You know, what is

677
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:09.360
it? Who do you vet to? What does it really prove? If

678
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:13.039
they say, yes, it was
a big foot in this picture, or

679
00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:15.920
yes the House of the big Foot, or yeah, your footprint looked,

680
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:21.519
you know, looks interesting. But
I tell you it got real for me.

681
00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:25.000
It got real for me in chapter
five when I found the seventeen inch

682
00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:30.480
footprint. Because you can hear me, I'm like going, what else could

683
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:34.039
it be? And I'm measuring it, and I go, Joey, this

684
00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:37.840
is seventeen inches. And then I
run the tape of right behind the big

685
00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:38.880
toe across the wide part of the
foot, and I go, that's eight

686
00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:45.119
inches. That's seventeen by eight inches. What else could it be? And

687
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:47.480
if you ever followed one of those
little runoffs down, it's all debris.

688
00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:52.719
And yeah, I'm looking for other
impressions. No, did I see impressions?

689
00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:58.320
Yeah, we're I couldn't tell if
it was a foot, but this

690
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:00.800
one, to me is a foot. I mean, I see toes in

691
00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:02.800
it. I did a three D
scan. I flip it up. You

692
00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:06.159
can you can hold it in your
hand, you can move it on your

693
00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:09.119
phone. You can zoom in,
you can zoom out. It's cool.

694
00:55:09.159 --> 00:55:12.800
It's crap stuff. And this is
stuff I learned. This is stuff I

695
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:15.320
learned from Mike. You know,
Mike will throw something out and I just

696
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:22.079
kind of throw it into place sometimes
before he before he does, and they're

697
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:23.239
going, no, that mad,
He's a genius. It's like, no,

698
00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:25.320
I'm listening. You know, I'm
around good people. You know,

699
00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:30.079
I got good people that know how
to investigate that will show you a trick

700
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:32.519
or two. And you know,
from the Merlin Bird app to the three

701
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:37.000
D scanners, I made a little
you know, note here, I'm doing

702
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:42.599
negative viewing now of my evidence.
I'm flipping the color video into negative.

703
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:46.559
And I tell you, guys,
it's a game changer if you think something's

704
00:55:46.599 --> 00:55:51.559
moving, because when you're in Florida, you can't. I heard y'all talk

705
00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:54.199
on episode one of the Swamp series. You know, you're you're you're talking

706
00:55:54.199 --> 00:56:00.280
about fifty yards. No, you
can't see thirty feet sometimes most to the

707
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:04.440
time where we're at you can't see
thirty feet. But when you flip my

708
00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:07.760
footage into negative view and you have
the trees and you have the palms and

709
00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:10.840
it looks like this, and then
they're all green, and then behind the

710
00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:15.000
green is browns and other colors.
There's something moved in there. In any

711
00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:22.400
color range, you're not gonna see
it, especially if it's creeping slow.

712
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:28.559
But in negative view, if it
moves like this and breaks that highlight behind

713
00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:30.639
them, Like if you know,
I'm in negative view, So if a

714
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:36.239
sasquatch is black, it's gonna be
white. And so the foliage is here

715
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:40.039
green, the sasquatch is gonna be
I mean white. The sasquatch here is

716
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:44.000
gonna be white. But I'll tell
you what. The trees and stuff in

717
00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:46.119
the background are black, and all
of a sudden, if you move like

718
00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:51.559
that and break that line, it's
like having not one shooting alley, it's

719
00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:57.000
like having sixty shooting alleys. And
it's awesome because if something moves left to

720
00:56:57.159 --> 00:57:00.239
right on film, you're gonna get
it. You're gonna know what's moving.

721
00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:02.760
Now. You may not have the
detail, but you'll know, hey,

722
00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:07.639
I'm in the right place. There
is something big out here it is bipedal,

723
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:09.800
and it moved left to right at
this location where I can pinpoint it.

724
00:57:10.360 --> 00:57:15.360
So that's where I'm at now.
Is using stuff like that. I

725
00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:21.679
found a TP. I can't explain
the TP that's in an episode I think

726
00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:27.039
six or seven. You know,
it's called the TP. It's twenty five

727
00:57:27.079 --> 00:57:32.159
ft tall to the apex thirty feet
on the ground from the four trees that

728
00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:38.280
are involved. Three of the trees
are live, one's dead, and then

729
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:43.800
as it meets about twenty five feet, it goes another thirty feet past that.

730
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:49.360
So I don't know what that is. When Max and I found it,

731
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:52.960
we started saying, what is this? And we were so tired.

732
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:55.559
At the end of the day,
we went fifteen thousand steps that day.

733
00:57:57.480 --> 00:58:01.880
We did get a little turned around. Another day we almost died in the

734
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:06.880
heat and we were too exhausted to
explore it. So I took a group

735
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:12.199
back. I took six people back
with me, and it's called return to

736
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:15.760
the TP, and I did that
to vet it. Guys, what do

737
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:19.599
you think? They're in different groups. They're in different Bigfoot groups. I

738
00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:22.440
do have people. It's nice to
have people in Florida that you can trust.

739
00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:27.360
You know that don't have bigfoot on
the brain that can look and view

740
00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:30.119
evidence. Logically. We all looked
at it, and they all agreed it's

741
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:34.440
an anomaly. We don't know what
it why it would be out here,

742
00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:38.960
and there's nothing in fifty sixty seventy
yards around it that's crossing him down like

743
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:45.880
that, and so I can't explain
that it's an anomaly. But I started

744
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:50.719
looking at it and I went,
what, guys, twenty years ago,

745
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:54.119
three trees are living out the fours
twenty years ago, the old pushing a

746
00:58:54.239 --> 00:59:00.840
tree if this was in water and
saft, could something strong push a tree

747
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:06.800
and lock them? They're not dead. They're going to continue to grow.

748
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:09.880
And is what we're seeing in the
twenty thirty feet past. It still the

749
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:14.360
apex, still still the you know, And that's what it looks like.

750
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:19.519
And that thing is bizarre, is
you know, it's crazy. You know,

751
00:59:19.719 --> 00:59:21.719
Well you can see it on my
channel. It's called the tepee.

752
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:25.159
I can't explain stuff like that.
So that's where I'm at. And what

753
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:30.159
I'm gonna do is continue to do
the Corridor series. I don't go out

754
00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:34.920
alone anymore. After the tree falling
incident and the thing in the nest because

755
00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:37.519
I realized I'd probably not alone out
there. It may not be big Foot,

756
00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:40.519
but something was. And oh and
as I was backing out, there

757
00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:45.800
were knocks on that video too,
the same exact knox I had weeks prior

758
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:51.199
on the same trail, and my
knox that I heard are nothing like I

759
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:54.199
hear any of the big Foot channels
making. So if you guys could listen

760
00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:58.360
to that and give me your thoughts, man, I would, Hey,

761
00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:00.000
you know, let me put this
one in the bed and move on.

762
01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:05.320
But that one was the same with
all these others, you know where I

763
01:00:05.719 --> 01:00:10.320
you know, I'm starting to see
stuff, so it's confusing. I'm going

764
01:00:10.360 --> 01:00:14.519
to finish my Quarridor series and say, hey, am my three years posting

765
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:16.639
my head into bigfoot world. This
is what I learned. This is what

766
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:22.280
I found out. I found some
interesting stuff. This is it that I

767
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:25.039
can't explain. Go here if you
want to read, you know, look

768
01:00:25.079 --> 01:00:30.559
at this evidence and figure it out
yourself. I'll leave my channel up and

769
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:34.840
then I'm gonna be private. I'm
just gonna go around and if I get

770
01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:37.679
to know you guys, it's gonna
be I'm sharing with you guys, I'm

771
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:42.599
sharing with the same guys I took
them to the TP and and try to

772
01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:47.519
move it forward. Um, I
want proof to myself that sasquatch or Bigfoot

773
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:55.880
or skunk ape exists, because my
family thinks I'm absolutely certified at that point.

774
01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:02.000
The place I work, I would
you all don't know what harassment and

775
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:06.760
hazing is until you you say,
Hey, a big, good guy,

776
01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:10.159
and I work at a TV station, so I get it from all directions.

777
01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:15.159
But I'm getting it because there's so
many people out there just blowing smoke,

778
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:21.360
but he's but that it makes I
don't like being made looking like a

779
01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:25.320
fool when I'm trying to be somewhat
serious. And that's why I kind of

780
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:30.800
get passionate about people just exactly,
you know, posting stuff like you know,

781
01:01:31.159 --> 01:01:37.000
bigfoot hand found or I would buy
a big foot or a big Foot

782
01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:39.400
trip to me and all this stuff
and we just don't know. And the

783
01:01:39.440 --> 01:01:47.079
whole DNA evidence that Mike had on
his channel with a fur cut to me,

784
01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:52.760
that's a put up or shut up
moment. I'm glad North Carolina State's

785
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:54.519
doing that survey. It's like,
man, how many people have you said,

786
01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:57.599
oh, I got hair? Samples. I got this to that I'm

787
01:01:57.639 --> 01:02:00.800
reaching out to everybody I know,
not that I think they're crazy or they're

788
01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:06.480
trying to b as me, but
they may have something. Turn it in.

789
01:02:06.920 --> 01:02:08.880
Let's figure this stuff out. Yeah, that's a good appeal. It

790
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:13.079
really is. If folks don't have
something, there's a place taking it.

791
01:02:14.280 --> 01:02:17.519
Like you said, there's no excuse
anymore to not turn it in. How

792
01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:21.800
many people said, oh, I
can't afford five thousand dollars like everybody.

793
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:24.679
Everybody does, And I think that's
the frustrating part. And like you know,

794
01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:29.440
I guess watching your videos the last
couple of days, which I've been

795
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:31.719
doing to prepare for this, I'm
I really do enjoy the Corridor series so

796
01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:37.320
far. I like what you do, Matt. I really do the same

797
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:42.480
with Mike. You know, Mike
has just shown me a few things that

798
01:02:42.559 --> 01:02:45.599
have really made a difference in my
own research. And of course, Matt

799
01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:51.000
Arner, you know some really good
folks in the field now that are doing

800
01:02:51.079 --> 01:02:54.039
some great things. But like you
said, that I really appreciate is it's

801
01:02:54.119 --> 01:02:59.039
time to put up or shut up, and it's time to get serious.

802
01:02:59.239 --> 01:03:04.320
And I appreciate the fact you gave
yourself a timeframe to do that as well.

803
01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:07.079
I think goals are important. I
think sometimes when you've been in this

804
01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:10.480
field as long as some of us
have, UM, it's easy to just

805
01:03:10.679 --> 01:03:15.360
kind of go with the status quo
and just accept things as they are.

806
01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:17.280
But you know, like I said
at the top of the show, you

807
01:03:17.360 --> 01:03:22.119
know it is we are on borrowed
time and we really need to get serious

808
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:31.039
and engaged with I think Henry's having
interference with WiFi, That's what I think,

809
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:38.400
and he doesn't realize he's not on
mute. UM, So van's anybody's

810
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:44.800
final thoughts because we're already passed the
top of it where he passed. I'm

811
01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:50.360
final, Mike a lot. That's
all right, I love it more we

812
01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:54.280
talk less, uh, final thoughts. Thank you, Matt. That was

813
01:03:55.159 --> 01:04:01.639
pretty damn informativeative. Yeah, at
least I know what to look at as

814
01:04:01.679 --> 01:04:10.320
far as videography is concerned, and
I I just need some time to absorb

815
01:04:10.440 --> 01:04:13.719
that. But no, very informative, So thank you very much. And

816
01:04:14.159 --> 01:04:19.360
and I think Sean, you wanted
to maybe make a quick interjection about the

817
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:25.559
next show up and coming and who's
going to appear on that show. Yeah,

818
01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:28.519
I can't spell and I posted without
a spell check. So that's supposed

819
01:04:28.559 --> 01:04:31.719
to be abundance, but it's abundance. It's abundance. I had a Baker

820
01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:36.800
momentum. Anyhow, Yeah, at
the end of the month soundance. Yeah,

821
01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:43.400
at the end of the you know, last show, I was going

822
01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:46.360
back and looking through the YouTube comments, and you know, somebody posted something

823
01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:49.440
about the snow Grove Lake, And
you know, we have a great opportunity

824
01:04:49.480 --> 01:04:54.960
because this person goes out and does
a bunch of podcasts. Why we've never

825
01:04:55.039 --> 01:04:57.599
had this guy on the show before, and honestly, it just never had

826
01:04:57.679 --> 01:05:00.079
him because I never felt the need
too. But now that somebody puts a

827
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:03.199
challenge just to get somebody on the
show, I take it because, like

828
01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:06.920
Matt, I put up or shut
up. So what we did is Vance

829
01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:13.079
reached out to Doug Hijack and for
the first time on the Sasquatch Experience,

830
01:05:13.159 --> 01:05:16.440
Doug is going to join us and
talk about the show. Why is that

831
01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:21.440
significant because Sasquatch Experience was around before
Monster Quest, it was around before all

832
01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:25.320
of them, and now it's time
for us to go back to some old

833
01:05:25.400 --> 01:05:30.119
school squatching, talk about some old
subjects and talk about something new. Such

834
01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:34.719
as sasquatch legend meets science too.
It's been a long journey. I love

835
01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:38.480
meeting new people. Matt. It's
been a pleasure to have you on the

836
01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:44.519
show. My god. You filled
us with some information and some inspiration too,

837
01:05:44.639 --> 01:05:46.159
and I think that's important. We
all need to learn from each other,

838
01:05:46.679 --> 01:05:49.119
we need to grow, and we
do need to challenge each other a

839
01:05:49.159 --> 01:05:55.440
little bit respectfully, which is what
you've done. I appreciate it, kudos,

840
01:05:56.039 --> 01:05:58.760
and I do learn from all you
guys and everybody else, I really

841
01:05:58.840 --> 01:06:01.639
do. I just filet real quick
and move on. You know what I

842
01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:05.719
mean, you have to I mean
speed dating for research. It's okay,

843
01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:14.440
that's exactly you know. That's a
perfect description of it. Yeah, that's

844
01:06:14.519 --> 01:06:21.079
great, Matt Uh. Mister Arner
jb Any final thoughts. I was gonna

845
01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:26.880
say, Matt Uh, it was
an incredible discussion with you tonight. Um.

846
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:30.320
You know, being someone that that
has a little bit of photo photography

847
01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:36.920
experience, getting the chance to listen
to you, uh discuss uh you know

848
01:06:38.280 --> 01:06:42.519
what we could do in the field
was just a great experience. So I

849
01:06:42.679 --> 01:06:47.400
thank you very very much. I
do like your points about the cameras and

850
01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:51.480
some of the trail cams, and
I had a question, but we kind

851
01:06:51.519 --> 01:06:56.039
of got blocked out for a minute, was is I think the big thing

852
01:06:56.199 --> 01:07:00.039
isn't as much that the trail cams
give off all these things. I think

853
01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:03.360
the fact that we don't see as
much what the trail cams are as people

854
01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:06.679
think if they put it up on
Monday, by Monday night, they're gonna

855
01:07:06.679 --> 01:07:12.079
have sasquatch pictures and every videos.
I've watched all these other things, and

856
01:07:12.159 --> 01:07:15.719
you can ask Sean. When we
first put the cameras up and on my

857
01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:20.760
land, honestly, we got a
little bit of interest because we were around

858
01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:24.880
that area and the local animals wanted
to know what are they doing near my

859
01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:30.000
tree? But once a couple of
weeks went by, we saw patterns.

860
01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:31.880
You know, they're laying out there
in the ground. You see them over

861
01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:35.840
there doing whatever what they naturally do
because they forget that camera exists. Now,

862
01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:39.360
the first couple of days, like
I said, they were kind of

863
01:07:39.480 --> 01:07:43.039
more interested. Not that I put
an object there, but why is he

864
01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:47.119
over there? And a perfect example
was yesterday I was down at the land

865
01:07:47.760 --> 01:07:51.519
and the dayers just sitting there eating
its little oats or whatever grass is eating.

866
01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:56.840
While I'm over there using the hammer
and fixing my shed. Hey could

867
01:07:56.920 --> 01:08:00.239
give a crap. I'm there right
like to me, I'm non threatening to

868
01:08:00.360 --> 01:08:03.440
him. And I think what people
seem to think is is if they go

869
01:08:03.559 --> 01:08:08.239
into a new area that they're gonna
walk in, make some tree knocks,

870
01:08:08.760 --> 01:08:11.400
put up a camera. By the
end of the day, they're going to

871
01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:15.719
have all this events. No,
if a local animal notices you're intruding,

872
01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:19.000
it backs off twenty feet and waits
to see what you do. Like and

873
01:08:19.159 --> 01:08:24.199
then you know, eventually, like
the deer in that area don't seem as

874
01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:26.319
a threat. Now, they're not
gonna let me touch him. I'm not

875
01:08:26.439 --> 01:08:30.640
cohabitating, They're not like borrowing food
for me and bringing me presents. We're

876
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:32.560
not going that far with him yet, Okay. But the fact is,

877
01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:39.279
though, is those deer could care
I exist when I'm just doing normal things,

878
01:08:40.359 --> 01:08:43.600
you know. And I think that's
what a lot of the researchers need

879
01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:45.720
to realize this to you. Put
a game came up, I don't care

880
01:08:45.800 --> 01:08:49.760
how significant it is. What kind
of would say with drones, if that

881
01:08:49.920 --> 01:08:53.880
drones out in the air, it's
something that it's a bird. They don't

882
01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:58.159
see all the time, all the
animals are gonna duck and cover because they're

883
01:08:58.159 --> 01:09:00.520
like, I don't know what that
thing is, but it's making weird noise

884
01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:04.399
and I'm gonna run, you know. Yeah. But if that thing's out

885
01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:08.239
there every day, they'll be oh, okay, it's like living near the

886
01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:14.199
airport. Okay, the plane went
by. Sure, you know, folks,

887
01:09:14.279 --> 01:09:16.640
you've been listening to the Sasquatch Experience. Sean Forker, Vince Nesbitt,

888
01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:20.720
James Baker, Matt Arner, Matt
Lawson, Matt Where can folks find out
