00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:12.519
We got someone or something crawling around
out here. Does a legend walk among
2
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:21.399
us working in the forests of our
world? Did you see what it was?
3
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:23.960
Was it a person or an animal? Or I can't go. All
4
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.079
I know is if my entre light
came on and I just happened to glimp
5
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.239
and see this thing running across the
yard, a good side man or something
6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:39.119
works like a man. I don't
know what it was. For over fifteen
7
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:44.719
years, we've talked with scientists,
researchers, investigators, and witnesses trying to
8
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:51.840
gain insight and truth around the existence
of this mysterious entity. Jesus Christ,
9
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:59.359
Hello, get somebody out of here. What's going to announce? There's got
10
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.640
a bit of about six four nine. I don't know easy, I'm me
11
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.760

12
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.280
yeh got here, bigger? Okay? What's he doing here? Yard?
13
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:25.519
We're gonna do. Join us as
we continue into the investigation of the
14
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:49.560
Sasquatch Experience. And good evening everyone, Welcome to the Sasquatch Experience. First
15
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.280
show for the new year. Exciting. I'm Sean the Fort Chott Forker and
16
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.000
the Center Squares. James Baker over
in the corners, Mat Honor down the
17
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.599
bottom as Chatty Cathy the big Football, horny dude in the bottom corn owner
18
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.040
Henry the Bigfoot Encyclopedia May at Henry
May on Facebook. If you folks are
19
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.960
looking to make a friend, he's
there till the end, Heidi. Hell,
20
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:13.439
guys, it's such great night to
be here and again Happy New year,
21
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.919
fellas. Good to see you.
Happy New Year. And just so
22
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.960
you got folks out there and listener
and lan believe it or not, guys,
23
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:27.759
we've got a ton of listeners tonight
on Acts, a platform that I
24
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.439
thought we'd never use, but we
had a great amount of listeners there in
25
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.879
the onslaught. It's pretty cool to
see that. So excellent. We got
26
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:42.000
Vance stuck. It didn't find Worth
Vance and Nesbitt. Guys. It's been
27
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.639
a strange year. It was a
good year and thank god it's over as
28
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.240
we start something different, something new. Although Matt had a rough one today,
29
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.479
we always got to give Matt a
little love and support because he's out
30
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.840
there doing the good work. So
thank you Matt for making sure people are
31
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.520
safe out there today. It's a
day I'm sure you deal with a ton
32
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:08.800
of assholes. We do. We
do anytime it's a holiday. It's never
33
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.280
a good day when you're working,
so or full moon. Full moon is
34
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.240
a whole different story. But yes, we we actually, yeah, we
35
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.719
we actually keep track of that.
So our good friend, a brother from
36
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.000
another mother or a man in Manitoba, Corey Luckapoi saying Happy New Year's guys,
37
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.879
Corey, Happy New Year's to you. Agree to have you in the
38
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.120
chat with us, my friend,
good to see you. Thanks so much
39
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.719
for tuning in. Like tonight's going
to be kind of a low key night.
40
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.360
It's the twenty twenty three year in
review, and we had some interesting
41
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.599
things to talk about from last year, guys. And I don't know if
42
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.759
we want to do it in any
particular chronological order, and if there is
43
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:52.719
something that's stuck out to you that
you thought you'd definitely want to talk about.
44
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.280
But I think the most important thing
to talk about, Henry, let
45
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.840
me get rid of this banner soppy
people can actually see your face is the
46
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:09.520
Bigfoot times well, Bigfoot of the
year now, yes, markmrcell And you
47
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.560
know what, I always feel like
there's some contention around Bigfoot of the Year.
48
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.800
Somebody always gets their feelings hurt or
it's kind of like, I don't
49
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.480
want to say it's like the oscars, but you know, there's always great
50
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:25.279
contenders for it, right no matter
which way you go, somebody's going to
51
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.319
be disappointed. And I think Mark
Marcell with the work he did in Epe
52
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.120
Canyon putting together the booklet Mountain Devil, he's working on a book about Ape
53
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.720
Canyon. Now, I think it
was a good choice, a little unconventional,
54
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.279
but he really put the time,
effort, and energy into going back
55
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.959
to one of the classic stories of
Bigfoot, one of the classic encounters.
56
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:51.040
Absolutely he did a great job with
it too, And I mean that's not
57
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:58.240
an easy thing to do because it's
hard to get to that location. Henry.
58
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.600
My understanding is that Mark has a
background and in that I want to
59
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:08.720
say surveying, but it's probably not
surveying that helped him look into the landmarkings
60
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:15.720
and whatnot to to help him find
the area. I believe he does had
61
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:21.720
some kind of background in that so
that enabled and be able to find the
62
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:30.560
area pretty easily. And also the
grandsons of some of the miners actually found
63
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.600
the long Logged Mind the vander White
mine as well. Vander White, the
64
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:41.000
name of the mine where they had
the encounter at Abe Canyon. So,
65
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.560
Matt, what were your thoughts on
the announcement of big Foot of the Year.
66
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.079
And I'm sure you had your own
list in your mind of people that
67
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:47.800
you thought might go and take it. You know what, I have my
68
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:54.879
own list, and there's people that, you know, I felt that deserved
69
00:05:54.920 --> 00:06:00.199
it. But the one thing is
is in I don't I hate to say
70
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:06.160
that there's a difference between East Coast
and West Coast, but you know,
71
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:12.480
like Mark Marcel, like we were
aware of what was going on, but
72
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.240
man to know all the you know, like the Olympia Project people, they
73
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.839
knew, like all the work on
the ground that he was putting in,
74
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:28.839
you know, everything entailing this big
announcement about the about finding the mind.
75
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.240
You know, it's something that kind
of lost on this because I think you're
76
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.319
on the East Coast, we're looking
more at you know, people like Alex
77
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:41.040
Petakov, you know who's who's here
on the East Coast part of small town
78
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.680
Monsters has been just outstanding with his
field work, outstanding with his productions.
79
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:53.319
And then you have somebody else too
that I thought was really well deserving of
80
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.680
Big fourt of the Year who just
seems to be getting passed over as Todd
81
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:05.399
Prescott and Todd it does such an
amazing job with his archives and yes,
82
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.720
and not only that, but it
was it was funny during COVID, I
83
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.360
almost had the opportunity to go go
out in the field with Todd, and
84
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.360
from what I understand, he is
one and ten percent like in it when
85
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.040
when you get to the field,
so you know, someone like him,
86
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.240
I you know, But then,
like I said, Mark Marcella, it's
87
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.199
one of those names like oh my
god, you know, like, yeah,
88
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.879
I completely forgot about Mark. But
like I said, with what he
89
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:42.439
brought forth with a canyon is just
absolutely amazing. We're gonna have him on
90
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.879
the show last year, and I
don't know, for whatever reason, the
91
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.319
signals got switched up and we never
did bring him in, but I think
92
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.639
we'll have to do that now that
he's the Bigfoot of the Year. Some
93
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:56.600
other names that were floated around,
David Sheeley, you know, kind of
94
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.399
a self nomination. If anybody reads
the Bigfoot Times newsletter Bigfoot Times dot net,
95
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.120
go and subscribe, get yourself a
physical newsletter that comes in the mail.
96
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:11.639
It's fantastic. I would it every
month and I didn't have that.
97
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.240
Tom Seawood also nominated himself for Bigfoot
of the Year, and so there you
98
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.920
have that. We have people self
nominating, which is okay, you think
99
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.879
you've done the work by all means, but Matt that you mentioned it.
100
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.920
Todd Prescott was another name that was
mentioned on the list. I don't know
101
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:37.279
if you read it in advance or
I've known Todd for many years and such
102
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.759
a good guys had a negative interaction
with Todd. He's got such a good
103
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.919
energy, good musician too, So
you can't take that away from But Bigfoot
104
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:48.240
of the Year always comes with that's
a little bit of controversy. But we're
105
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.039
glad one was announced again. If
you're just joining ash Mark Marcell Bigfoot of
106
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:58.039
the Year, as stated by the
Bigfoot Times Daniel Perez, they're pretty cool.
107
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:07.159
James Baker says, the one list
you'll want to be on. There
108
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.399
are many you don't, but that's
when you want to do. But guys,
109
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.679
i'd be remiss to say if you
know another big event that was kind
110
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.879
of it was It lasted longer than
I thought it would have, but it
111
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.519
had a really quick and impact or
had a really quick impact. Was that
112
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:35.200
Colorado train footage? Yes, yes, that was on my list talking about
113
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.840
tonight too. Yeah, well go
ahead, man, bring it up.
114
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:43.200
Let's talk about you know what without
really going too much in depth on it,
115
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.240
because everyone pretty much is aware of
the Colorado train footage. It was
116
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.360
shown on national news. It was
always you know, people are coming out
117
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.840
of the woodwork saying, oh,
this is a real thing. No,
118
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:03.639
it's a hoax. But the one
thing is is that it did show nine
119
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:09.720
percent solidarity in the Bigfoot community online
people in real life saying now, this
120
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:16.159
was a hoax, which I to
be honest, I think there should be
121
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.600
a little bit of pride in the
in the Bigfoot community for that, for
122
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.720
standing up to that and saying,
hey, you know this thing is not
123
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.720
you know what we think is so
I do you know, I do give
124
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.200
credit to the community at large for
kind of you know, looking at that
125
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.639
and calling out for what it was. It took about two days, three
126
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.639
days for us to really kind of
get you know, a good you look
127
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.840
at that video after it was initially
released the same yeah, yeah, this
128
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.559
isn't. But I'm glad for that
because a lot of times we embrace I'm
129
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.879
gonna use the word shit, but
we embrace it, and we embrace stuff
130
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.559
that we should never do. And
then what happens two weeks later, It's
131
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.960
on every news channel and we we're
sent back five years as being idiots,
132
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.440
you know, instead of you know, I'm either for the science. I've
133
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.320
already told you my opinion. It's
either really intelligent or it doesn't exist.
134
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.320
But when you have people that run
around and then you'll have twenty and then
135
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.080
every county has fourteen sightings because they
watched ABC News, can't help yeap.
136
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.159
You know, we're gonna get a
snippet of that in the news tonight or
137
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.480
the shit that the big Foot bullhorn
tonight. Vance puts a little news segment
138
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.480
in there, very relative to the
things we're talking about here this evening.
139
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.720
But no, James, I really
agree and everything you've all said so far,
140
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.360
we took it down quick as a
community, and that was a really
141
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.360
good thing. But I think the
one thing that I was even prouder of
142
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:54.480
was we really kept digging and going
into details. That's what it was going
143
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.799
on. I see Matt laughing,
and I see Baker with this devilish look.
144
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.600
Vance what's your thought on all this? The train, the Colorado Free
145
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:09.919
In my first take was it was
just a hoax for promotion, and that's
146
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:16.159
how I take it. And I
think it made itself very visible for those
147
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.360
on the train and then sat down
and squatted in the bushes to pretend like
148
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.279
it's hiding. But that's my tool. No. I mean, I think
149
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.200
when you look at it from a
context point of view, you were spot
150
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.320
on the money long lasting, it
was not, but we were able to
151
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.799
get some I think, connect some
dots and find out who was really sort
152
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.279
of find out who is responsible for
I don't think it's been concretely proven yet,
153
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.919
but we have a good idea that
it was done by a marketing outfit
154
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.080
out there, by one of those
RV RVs. So Baker, don't give
155
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.159
them any of your money this year, you know, find somebody to get
156
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:56.200
an RV from. We're buying the
Bigfoot wagon next year, telling you bigfoot
157
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:05.600
shagging wagon folks. That's where we're
at ritable. Oh my gosh, Henry,
158
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.759
what else has been out there with
you? Man? What do you
159
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.759
think? What twenty twenty three?
What was the big Henry May moment?
160
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:22.960
Oh goodness, Well, I think
the biggest moment was the announcement by Darby
161
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:31.919
Orcutt that he is receiving DNA.
He he's open to receiving DNA samples,
162
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.399
he by fines. Now, of
course Todd Disstel is also of course testing
163
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:46.320
DNA as well. No, I
think that's a good point that you bring
164
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.799
that up, Henry, that I
think Todd Distel has never stopped accepting DNA
165
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.679
samples. Right, we just wit
talking about doctor Disstel, But you got
166
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:01.279
a university backing this and actively engaging
in the collection of some information. I
167
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.120
think that's pretty cool. Matt.
You were pretty big on that announcement too.
168
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.919
I was, and obviously coming back
from having the back of the North
169
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:16.360
Carolina state, you really lend some
credence to the you know, to the
170
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:24.799
study. Hearing the doctor on another
podcast there, when the people receive the
171
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:31.679
or when people send the DNA samples
out, they are going to receive at
172
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:39.200
some point, you know, what
they basically what they have sent in an
173
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.519
analysis of that DNA. So even
if they brought something in and they weren't
174
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.000
sure of it, maybe it could
be something that they don't that they've never
175
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.320
seen before. Well, if it
comes back as maybe, uh, you
176
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.440
know, wolf DNA or bear DNA, they're going to get that. They're
177
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:01.080
still gonna I believe they're gonna hold
onto samples, which is a big positive.
178
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.120
So, you know, being able
to actually have a catalog and have
179
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:15.960
a chain of custody for that particular
item done in a university level is extremely
180
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.559
important because I know other DNA studies
that people send stuff in and they never
181
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.240
got anything in return, and you
know, they may have never found out
182
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.120
what that particularly was. No,
And I think that's a great point you
183
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.399
make there too, Matt, with
the chain of custody and the logging of
184
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.200
said information. I've sent stuff out
in the mail before. I told you
185
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.840
I sent stuff to doctor Jeff Meldrema
and lost it in mail, sent it
186
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.600
signature and everything, and it never
made it to its source. But that
187
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.440
doesn't have to be anything conspiratorial,
folks. Shit gets lost in the mail
188
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.639
all the time. But it is, you know, a good point when
189
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.399
you're talking about Evan's collection, and
you know, if somebody out there gives
190
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.120
them the recognition they need for actually
being the person to collect the good the
191
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.519
good data, right, that's pretty
great. Van, You got an opinion
192
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:07.159
on the DNA collection. Well,
look the plethora of DNA collection. Some
193
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.679
of it has turned out to be
so damn complicated we can't figure it out.
194
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:18.600
And others it comes back of unknown
origin. It's like you throw your
195
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.120
arms up in the air. It's
like, please make a decision. Well,
196
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.159
I again, with nothing to type
against an unknown specimen. You could
197
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:32.559
group all these unknown specimens together and
look for commonalities. Right, what's the
198
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.480
commonality? But still, until the
end of the day, you have something
199
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:37.720
to butt it up against that say, here it is with one hundred percent
200
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.600
beyond a shadow of it out,
not a reasonable doubt beyond a shadow of
201
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.039
it out. These two things are
alike and they are the same. That's
202
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.360
a big difference. That's a whole
another story. Even if it came back
203
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:55.799
as well, this is a primary
hair, just a primate hair. Just
204
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.720
give me that. Okay, that
gives us something to work with. But
205
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.519
it doesn't even come back as that. And I think there has to be
206
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:08.319
some more clarification or more pressing for
clarification. So when we just take it
207
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.039
that information out in somebody posts,
oh it's just an unknown primate, we
208
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.920
should be pressing back. Well,
what are the markers, what's it closer
209
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.480
to, what's it closest to in
terms of the primate family. Well,
210
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.799
I mean we're a bunch of damn
dirty abes too, so we're you know,
211
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.000
where does it fall in in perspective
to us? So there's a lot
212
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.799
more questions we could ask, But
here's the bottom line. As a research
213
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.599
community, we're kind of stupid.
We don't go out of our way to
214
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:41.079
educate ourselves and improve ourselves and in
a necessary way to have those conversations.
215
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.640
That's why we need folks to speak
on our behalf that do have that education
216
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.279
and credential. I'm never going to
be, you know, a speaker of
217
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.960
the bigfoot house, you know,
rubbing elbows with the scientists. That's just
218
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.680
not my forte. You know,
I'm a plain spoken man. God,
219
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.240
I just almost call myself the George
Bush or Bigfooters. But you know,
220
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.799
just plain spoken and that's all right. But you know, when it comes
221
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.799
to dealing with this on an academic
level, people really know what they need
222
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.200
to know what the hell they're talking
about, and we just haven't done a
223
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.319
you know, we're weekend warriors for
the most part. You have a few
224
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.160
out there that are becoming really a
little bit more professional. But unless you
225
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:25.400
really are a professional dialed into this
and your speciality is maybe DNA not anatomy
226
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:30.440
in physiology, you know, it's
a different story. But that's just my
227
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.640
two cents, Matt, did you
have a rebuttal or a pine on that.
228
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:45.119
I don't. Again, I think
that the other thing too is with
229
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.440
the study, it's not going to
be something where they're able to get analysis
230
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:59.000
done and say this is definitely an
unknown primid or known harmited. Basically,
231
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.559
this is going to take year So
we may be looking at two, three,
232
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:10.680
four years before we get that big
nugget of big news coming from this.
233
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.240
And I'm sure that they are going
to be getting a lot of samples
234
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:21.240
that are going to be misidentified,
not from the university or from the people
235
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:25.359
doing the analysis, but possibly from
those in the field. And again that
236
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.599
happens, you know again that there
could be something there that you know,
237
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:36.559
the field researcher may not have been
aware of in that particular area. But
238
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:42.079
but again it's gonna take I think
a good solid two years before we you
239
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:48.079
know, we get that big yes
there's something or no, there's nothing here.
240
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.599
But even if they even if they
find that they find a sample,
241
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:57.720
let's say is an ape like creature, there's also then have to investigate that
242
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.039
point to find out out what's going
on, because there's going to be that
243
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.920
twenty percent of people that are gonna
send gonna go to the zoom, cut
244
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.519
a chimp's hair and throw it in
a bag and just to screw with them.
245
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:12.160
So, I mean, before you
know, it's kind of like we
246
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.359
talk about some other people that are
on you know, different things, like
247
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.599
you have to confirm enough to be
able to say this, okay, not
248
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.920
only is an unknown ap but it's
from a credible source. Yes, you
249
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:26.720
know so, and that's where your
two years is coming in. It's not
250
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.480
as much like they can't throw it
through you know, you watch NCIS,
251
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.359
so like five minutes later they know
they know the exactly who the guy is,
252
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.960
yes, but they also have twenty
seven pieces of information and also tie
253
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.920
him to being there. Yep,
you know. And I do think that
254
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:52.079
once the once they do get some
positive analysis, they're probably gonna start getting
255
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.880
the research at that point and going
back in. If you get a certain
256
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.480
individual that says, hey, you
know, I was out in the algai
257
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.599
National Forest or I was up in
you know, West Virginia, and I
258
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:10.279
got the sample and alone, behold
you you find out that the guy never
259
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:14.920
left the city of Philadelphia, you
know, and probably went down to the
260
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.039
to the zoo. You know.
Then Okay, I could you know,
261
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.359
I could see, you know,
the questions being being thrown at them.
262
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:27.920
But you do have some very good
field researchers that have already been submitting samples.
263
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.559
So I think there's a lot of
people, you know, in the
264
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:41.359
Naywak Group area X, I think
have probably began submitting I know that they
265
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.680
had been talking about it, and
you know, just researchers, good field
266
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:52.559
researchers throughout the country. Yeah,
that had evidence, and we're planning on
267
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:57.839
submitting it well. And the waiting
game is okay by me because I can't
268
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.720
get any you can't get any more
frustrating than what it is. We just
269
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.079
have to be patient and wait.
But you know, even with the you
270
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.839
know, the emergence of the using
e DNA right to you know, new
271
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:18.359
types of samples, that's a lot
of sifting and you know, collected information
272
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:23.559
to hopefully get something that is I
really even though it's really cool and we
273
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:29.200
have that capability, it's very,
very difficult to get something tangible from that.
274
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:30.720
I feel like it was a glimmer
of hope for all of us.
275
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.880
And if you do an expedition Bigfoot
and everybody gets excited, and then when
276
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.559
people actually start talking about how the
hell it really works, it's like a
277
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.519
big kick in the balls. Oh
that was great, and uh wow,
278
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:45.000
I see that. I see that
at work all the time. We got
279
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:49.400
a new guy and he's really interested
in, you know, in the stuff
280
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.559
that I do, and and you
know he's thinking that it's all, you
281
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.720
know, everything you see on TV
is is what happens. You send you
282
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.440
send things in. There's crime lab, you know, attached to your apartment.
283
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.200
You could go right there now.
I mean I got to drive it
284
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:10.480
up to, you know, a
laboratory. It's an hour and a half
285
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:15.880
away. You know, I sign
all sorts of chain of custody paperwork on
286
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.240
it. I have to make sure
that everything is submitted the correct way,
287
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:23.240
and then from there they do their
thing. And when you do get the
288
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:29.000
results back, oh my god.
You know, it's it's almost like you
289
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:33.559
need a PhD just to read it. But I think that goes to Baker's
290
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.079
point, where you know, you
have that Hollywood idea in your head of
291
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.039
the NCI as you take it down
to the lady in the basement and she's
292
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.200
going to run it through all these
high tech machines. Then no local police
293
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:47.440
department can afford. But you know
most people don't have You got to take
294
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:51.680
it somewhere and get it tested.
So there's an unrealistic expectation about how that
295
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:56.000
all comes to fruition as well.
It's actually something that we deal with in
296
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.680
mind line and work and when we
take a case to a jury trial,
297
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.960
and we call it the CSI effect. And for those people in law enforcement
298
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:10.799
that are that are listening, the
CSI effect has been been ongoing for probably
299
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.680
the last twenty years, where you
know, they'll people ask, well,
300
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.200
why didn't you get a fingerprint off
of off this particular right, and well,
301
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:23.519
you know, prints could be there, but for them to be developed
302
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:29.480
and for them to be you know, processed, it may not be able
303
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.559
to you know, be to fruition. So you know, we get that
304
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.799
quite a bit from from jury's so
it's something that we have to deal with,
305
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.119
but it's also something that we as
a big for community need to deal
306
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.559
with as well, because of the
family. That's a good point. You
307
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.079
know, when you hit when your
fingerprinted, which I have been sorry to
308
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:53.720
say, we can grab the thumb. The officer will grab the thumb and
309
00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:00.359
roll it across the ink pad.
But that's not how fingerprint and prints are
310
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:06.799
left. Naturally. You might only
have a partial of a fingerprint that's not
311
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.359
conclusive enough to evidence. Now,
we would actually need a certain amount of
312
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:17.400
what we call points identifying points from
that in order to make an identification,
313
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.759
and there's a sets standard for that. But yeah, I mean I was
314
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:27.599
doing Layton prints today and you know
what I ended up having to deal with
315
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:33.359
was people were overlaying their fingerprints over
the print that I wanted, and so
316
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:38.920
it was impossible for us to to
actually an identifiable print. So now you
317
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:42.519
look at that in terms of the
bigfoot community, you know, what can
318
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.640
you learn from that? Well,
you know, the one thing is is
319
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:51.359
if you if you see a possible
handprint. You know a lot of people
320
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:56.359
talk about handprints on cars car windows, just don't touch it, you know,
321
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.279
like stay away from it. You
know, wait till you have everything
322
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:06.880
there to collect it to And why
I say collected it's not just you know,
323
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:11.240
taking taking powder to it and lifting
it, but actually photographing it,
324
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.960
you know, getting the measurements from
it, because that all helps. And
325
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.039
again this is something that that could
be transferred over to the to the big
326
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:23.759
foot community, you know, and
take your time with it. I think
327
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:29.319
what everybody forgets is a simple point
is is like and I'm sure you see
328
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:33.599
a lot of it. That is
it's the moment, yes, you you
329
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.839
see all these things. And I'll
just say you say, you say you
330
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.720
see bigfoot touch a tree and you're
just over there standing around the tree and
331
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:47.519
you're touching the tree and you're whatever. You're not helping, you're just screwing
332
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:52.039
up more evidence because now your fingerprints
are meshed with this other one. And
333
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.400
maybe maybe you're a shudder or a
secrete or whatever they call it, you
334
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.319
know, so you're leaving stuff all
over the place, and like because you
335
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:06.880
spit when you talk and you're really
excited or you know, and you just
336
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.400
wipe the print away. So and
the thing is what it is. It's
337
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.880
even in your thing. If someone
got let's go, for instance, there
338
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:17.400
was a body in a car.
Whoever opens the door to get the body
339
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.200
might not be a police officers that
trained to glove up. It might be
340
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:23.920
it might be his mom going,
oh my god, Joey might be alive.
341
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:29.000
And they own the body and they
move and they touch the steering wheel
342
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.000
to try to get a better access
to check whether his neck is good and
343
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.039
stuff. So like you have like
and I know they have like a way
344
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:37.680
to test whose prints or whatever,
and they have that. But at the
345
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.839
same time is while she's checking the
neck, maybe there was a really good
346
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:48.119
print here from the killer. Well
now it's gone. Well, you know,
347
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.799
that is a good point. But
the one thing that like, especially
348
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:59.440
for going out into the field is
if you see a print, the biggest
349
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.400
thing is the biggest mystique I see
people do is when they see prints,
350
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.039
they try to touch it, you
know, they try to even just to
351
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:11.920
pad it. Do not do that, because there have been prints that I
352
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.920
believe Cliff Barackman was saying that he
is a print in one of his collections
353
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:22.480
where somebody went in put their finger
into into the impression and you could actually
354
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:30.680
see the finger impression within the foot
impression. So you're not getting that natural
355
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.200
perspective of that of that impression because
you know, somebody put their you know,
356
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.880
went to see, yeah, this
is three times bigger than my hand,
357
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:42.519
so it ought to be that,
and then they touched the print.
358
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:45.680

I found out recently that big feet means
378
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:33.039
big penis. Yeah. If that's
true, how can we call him Bigfoot
379
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:44.279
instead of the fat cock monster?
Yeah? Maybe that's why it's blurry.
380
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:49.680
You know. They just gotta citcure
out that huge park. Wow, quite
381
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:56.839
a spicy way of kicking things off, only cow Welcome to the very first
382
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:03.359
square on your brand new calendar.
This is the Bigfoot Bullhorn, exclusively on
383
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:08.920
the Sasquatch experience, and let's kick
things off by how the year ended in
384
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:18.160
twenty three going to December twenty eighth. Out of winter Green, Virginia is
385
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.519
Bigfoot real or not, we may
never know. But here's how the news
386
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:27.960
report went Surprize surprise, Some bigfoot
sightings in winter Green have been debunked.
387
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.559
According to police, it was someone
who was having a laugh and wanted the
388
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:37.359
quote to create a little lighthearted conversation. As for whether there really is a
389
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.599
bigfoot anywhere else, we're just going
to say, amateur sasquatch seekers always hope
390
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:47.240
something BIG's afoot. Well, that
laugh, I never want to hear that
391
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:52.200
laugh again. Thank you. There
were many sightings in winter Green of a
392
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.680
large, hairy figure on the mountain
and in wooded areas and even on ring
393
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:05.200
cameras. Now I have forwarded the
photograph that ABC three News used to clickbait
394
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:10.880
you into this story. The photograph, my opinion, looks Legit looks like
395
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:16.359
it could be a bigfoot, definitely
not a dude in the suit. However,
396
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:22.839
they did post one other picture that
is completely different of an individual clearly
397
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:28.079
in a costume, obscured by property, fences and trees and is out of
398
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:31.400
focus. See this is what they
do. Now. The report goes on
399
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:37.559
to say these bigfoot sightings were staged, according to the Winter Green Police Department.
400
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:44.640
Now winter Green, Virginia is located
south southwest of the Shenandoah National Forest
401
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:52.559
and due west of winter Green,
Virginia is the George Washington Jefferson National Forest
402
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:59.160
in the mountains. Seems like a
habitat place to me that a bigfoot might
403
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:04.519
be stomped around. I don't know. This is Virginia. Crazy things happened
404
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.519
there. But why do I bring
all this up? Well, let's go
405
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:12.160
on with the news story. Chief
Dennis Russell said they got a small handful
406
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.599
of calls about it. It was
just I guess, maybe something that maybe
407
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:20.880
got out of hand, but it
was all fun and games. Russell said
408
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:24.799
the Bigfoot impostors stopped when he found
out people were taking it more seriously than
409
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:31.319
expected. I think he just wanted
to maybe elevate people's happiness during the holiday
410
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:36.559
season, he said. He said
there was nothing criminal to it. I
411
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:40.160
believe most people ninety nine percent knew
that it was all in jest, because,
412
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.519
let's be honest, Bigfoot in Winter
Green, he wouldn't come here,
413
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:50.319
he said, with a laugh.
Russell said they didn't have to tell him
414
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.960
to stop, but he thinks he
realized on his own notice they use the
415
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:59.680
word he thinks he realized on his
own. The police department never had a
416
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.599
kind with this individual. There's no
names put out there. He did clearly
417
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:07.880
state there was nothing criminal about this, but they're convinced it was a hoax
418
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:15.039
without talking to the person that perpetrated
this hoax. It was something people were
419
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:21.079
thinking was more than what it was. Again, it's quite possible this is
420
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.400
a primarya for a bigfoot to be
sighted. And I'm wondering who is more
421
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:30.039
guilty here. If it was an
impostor wearing a costume, Okay, so
422
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.199
be it. We don't like cultures, but so be it. But then
423
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:40.320
I see ABC three News doing the
same thing by using this ring camera photo
424
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:47.559
of something that looks legitimate and something
that is clearly just yes. When we
425
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.280
come back, Hey, Washington State's
going to kick off this year, and
426
00:34:52.440 --> 00:35:01.719
it's going to be really interesting to
see how this goes down. You're listening
427
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:19.000
to the Sasquatch experience. Are you
a vegan who just misses the entire meat
428
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:23.119
eating process? Do you crave not
just the juicy taste of dead flesh,
429
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:28.239
but want to be part of the
medieval tradition of killing it? Well,

435
00:35:55.039 --> 00:36:00.880
torturing and killing a living thing.
Bring the kids and get a reside of
436
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:25.599
murdered peace. Well, now that
Mount Saint Helen is blown its top,
437
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:29.960
which seems like a couple of years
ago to me because I'm old, but
438
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:35.679
that was forty four years ago.
At the base of Mount Saint Helen's is
439
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:42.079
the twenty twenty four Squatch Fest.
It happens on Friday January twenty six from
440

00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:54.199
eight pm. This year's world renowned
speakers will be Cliff Barrickman, who's been
442
00:36:54.239 --> 00:37:00.559
on the Sasquatch Experience, Shane Corson, who's gonna be on the side Sasquatch
443
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:07.599
Experience and doctor Jeff Meldrum will try
to get on the Sasquatch Experience along with
444
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:13.119
Ken Gerhard, Matt Pruitt, and
Michael Freeman. The event will be held
445
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:19.719

listening to this edition of The Bigfoot Bullhorn
448
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:37.239
exclusively on the Sasquatch Experience, and
from all of us at the Sasquatch Experience,
449
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:44.639
we wish you a safe and secure
twenty twenty four and as always,
450
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:58.840
everybody keep your toe in the mind. Well that was a spicy news segment.
451
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.880
I didn't know we did kick off
with that shocker looking for We're going
452
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:06.559
to have to call ourselves a new
type of show here. I'm not even
453
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:09.079
going to say what I was going
to say because my grandma might be watching.
454
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:13.639
Happy birthday, Grandma. We we
love you, No, folks,
455
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:22.159
I agree with you. I can't
stand these reporters. I just want to
456
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:29.519
punch you in the face. Oh
fascinate the asparagus, kill the broccoli.
457
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:31.639
You've got a lot of people here
that are willing to go to Vick's Vegan
458
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:37.840
Slaughterhouse with you. I like a
nice cauliflower as a side dish, not
459
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:45.880
a main course. You know,
I'm a meat eater. I'm afraid I
460
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:52.000
think I think the use of the
cucumber may get out of hand. You
461
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.840
got to use the creeter and cucumber
all in one evening, Folks, if
462
00:38:55.840 --> 00:39:00.920
you haven't been using your James Baker
bingo, tonight's the night you win the
463
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:06.000
jackpot. Folks. You're listening to
the Sasquad experience here on the second part
464
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:07.639
of the show, Sean Forker,
James Baker, Matt Arner, Van z
465
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:12.079
Nesbitt, and Henry May down the
corner. It's like Hollywood Squares, but
466
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.519
with all the empty spots, and
some of us are actually funny. Not
467
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:21.960
me, but James Baker. You
know, I want to add to the
468
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.400
entire conversation of what we were talking
about Researchers of the Year. I have
469
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:35.079
been completely enveloped in watching a lot
of the research that goes on that's posted
470
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:42.559
on YouTube. I have to give
kudos to Alexander Pettakoff, and to Eli
471
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:47.559
Watson, and to Seth Breedlow I
mean, these guys are putting themselves into
472
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:53.159
places all over the country to do
the research that is necessary. And I
473
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:58.920
want to give those three at least, you know, I'll put them up
474
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.800
on the pedestal to say, you
know what, they're putting money and the
475
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:08.679
efforting for all of this, and
I think that that research is definitely a
476
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:15.800
double thumbs a double enthusiastic thumbs up
for all three of those gentlemen. Yeah.
477
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:17.760
No, I think they're all you
know, worthy names that you've mentioned,
478
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:21.599
people out there doing the work.
I think, yeah, you know,
479
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:25.519
here's the problem. I've been working
with Heather Moser on a project offline,
480
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:32.559
off the public radar about discussing researchers
that have been in this for a
481
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:36.880
long time that have gotten no recognition
whatsoever. And there have been so many
482
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.000
over the years who have been left
behind for reasons sometimes we just can't explain.
483
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:45.440
But for Joan Jeffers personally, for
me, because she was a PA
484
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:51.480
researcher and so tight to the early
parts, tied to Stan Gordon and doctor
485
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:57.920
Paul Johnson, she's been forgotten about
in Pennsylvania and actually just UFO Bigfoot history
486
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:00.400
in general, and it's quite sad
because she was a maze your contributor in
487
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:05.039
those fifties, sixties and seventy years, you know where she was, you
488
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:07.519
know, really active. She passed
away before the Internet boom, and I
489
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:12.519
became familiar with her posthumously, so
not even somebody who was actually able to
490
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:15.519
meet. But her story has always
been compelling to me because there's nothing out
491
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:21.159
there. And I got this to
Heather, and you know, she she
492
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:24.480
started making Joan come to life for
me. And actually, at one point
493
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:28.679
she sending me all this information,
I actually got quite emotional over it because
494
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:31.400
it's like somebody who's giving me the
genealogy of a grandmother that I didn't know
495
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:36.840
existed. Because for just some reason, I've had a kinship with Joan that
496
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.119
are a connection that I can't explain. And hopefully Heather and I get a
497
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:44.239
chance to really sit down together and
tell her story to all of you,
498
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:49.280
because I think there's just something really
impactful about it. And that also happened
499
00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:51.599
in twenty twenty three, as she
and I had you know, the last
500
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:53.519
couple of weeks of the year.
She and I really pulled it together.
501
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:58.320
She did all the work, I
did some validation, I kept encouraging her,
502
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:00.800
but I gave her a mission,
and my god, man, did
503
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:05.199
she just go to work and start
pulling shit out of the air I hadn't
504
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:08.800
seen before with very limited information.
And yes, Brian, I agree,
505
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:14.679
Heather Moser rock. She really does. And I can't wait to kind of
506
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:19.360
continue to go down some of these, you know, some of these lesser
507
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:24.360
contributors. Right. It's important to
me that everybody that's been a part of
508
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:29.280
this gets a notation somewhere. And
you've heard me say many times, especially
509
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:30.960
you, Matt, when it comes
to myself, I'm just a footnote in
510
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:37.079
this story. This is an amazing
story with tons of characters and amazing people
511
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:42.880
and places, and everybody's worthy of, you know, having notation, especially
512
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:46.679
when it comes to contributions that you
know you never got recognition for. So
513
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:52.239
I'm just thinking again over the moon
that Heather was able to pull all this
514
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.960
together and there's much more to come, but you know, publicly, I
515
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:59.639
wanted to just put a little something
out there and hopefully she doesn't hit me
516
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:02.440
with a rock, because it was
just I mean, honestly, she just
517
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:06.400
blew my mind. Guys. So
I mean, if there was a researcher
518
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:10.719
that should that we might want to
talk about, you know, chronological chronic
519
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:15.000
I can't even see the name chronicler
of the year. You know, she
520
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.440
definitely needs to take the cake on
that one. Just absolutely amazing what the
521
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:23.280
research she can do out of this
world, well, especially on the property
522
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:28.719
in which she has her cabinet,
and there's been a lot of creepy stuff
523
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:32.039
that's happened there, especially if you
follow a wrong with it. There is
524
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:38.320
a lot of creepy stuff that's gone
on there and it does leave evidence behind,
525
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:43.079
So you know, you throw your
hands up in the air, going,
526
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:49.880
wow, what is happening? And
I can understand with her position why
527
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:55.840
she's so enthralled and taking more of
a further step into the research of this.
528
00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:01.599
Also to the point that with Joan
guys Jones a woman, and in
529
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:06.320
this research, the women really do
get left behind, especially at that point
530
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:12.079
in time. And to have another
female researcher with me that got invested in
531
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:16.039
this project and who's doing the work
that very much the work Joan did,
532
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:21.159
it's kind of like seeing it come
full circle and it living on through someone
533
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:22.639
else. So to me, I
don't know, maybe I'm a little I
534
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:28.199
don't know. I'm a sucker for
a story or sentimental or you know,
535
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.880
but it's just meaningful to me,
and hopefully it's as meaningful to everyone else
536
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:36.239
because I can't wait to tell again, tell Joan's story for you know,
537
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:39.360
help tell Joones's story for everybody.
Matt, I know there are some things
538
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:42.599
you wanted to tackle, but before
we hit the brake, let's get into
539
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:46.239
them. Yeah, you know what
we were we're just kind of discussing offline
540
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:52.800
here about technology. And there was
a comment for one of our listeners about
541
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.920
you know, some people don't go
into the woods with plaster. You know,
542
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:01.320
some people don't go into the woods
with casting me materials. Now,
543
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:07.159
again, I don't want to discuss
too much about by a small town monster
544
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.760
fest ordeal. When when I brought
the when I brought the plastic bags with
545
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:15.800
the plaster, you know that that
was a little embarrassing. But anyways,
546
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:20.119
but I do I'll bring I'll bring
some plaster with me. I'll bring some
547
00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:24.119
water with me. But the one
thing that we've been using, and this
548
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:29.039
kind of goes into you know what
we're talking about with twenty twenty three,
549
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:35.440
is you know your cell phone.
I have an app called Scanaverse and both
550
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:42.159
myself and Sean have gotten this app
and what it does is it's basically like
551
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:50.000
a light or app where it will
give you basically that image, that depth,
552
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:57.000
every little detail about that impression that
that's in the that's on the ground.
553
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:01.400
And we were playing around with it. I got some really neat ELK
554
00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:07.519
tracks. I sent one to Sean
during the break. But they're at the
555
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:12.800
point now where some of the higher
end light R programs are being able to
556
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:21.000
be produced as a three D model. So instead of actually casting you know,
557
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.639
a print like we normally would,
you would take a light er scan.
558
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:28.119
Now, again this is with higher
end models, but I'm sure the
559
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.480
technology is going to catch up pretty
soon and then you would be able to
560
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:37.719
put that into a computer to make
a three D scan of that impression.
561
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.679
So that may be where the future
is going. But this is something that
562
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:47.000
really came about, you know,
really strong in twenty twenty three, and
563
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:52.880
it's something that as a field researcher, myself and Sean have used and it's
564
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:58.440
been fantastic. And I did have
prints that I didn't have casting materials with.
565
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:05.519
I did the light ar scan and
you know, it actually looked pretty
566
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:08.679
decent once it came up. So
we've used this on elk print, on
567
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:13.239
Turkey print. I think the Turkey
prints were the best that we've done so
568
00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:15.639
far. But you know, imagine
being able to take that and sink it
569
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:20.039
with a three D printer. So
now you can three D print your casts
570
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:23.280
as opposed to have Now that's where
it might get a little sketchy, right,
571
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:27.280
because how good is a three D
print going to be able to replicate
572
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:30.519
some of those details you would get
in a casting artifact. But to you
573
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:35.639
know, the point that Jay Michael
made and the friend j Michael long earlier
574
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:39.760
in the chat made that not everybody
carries plaster and or they carry it spilled
575
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:43.480
all over the floor of a conference. Yeah, make it judgment. I'm
576
00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:47.480
just saying, you have you know, you can only carry so much of
577
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:52.559
the damn stuff before it becomes a
little you know, cumbersome. Now you
578
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:55.480
have the ability to take scans and
upload it and you know a little different.
579
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:59.320
And I'm sure as three D printing
gets better, it will be able
580
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:02.880
to replicate those nuances that are you
know, picked up in the scans.
581
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:07.239
Sure, And it also would be
easier to send other people because if you
582
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.519
wanted someone like one of the one
of the big names to look at it
583
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:14.320
and go, hey, what do
you think, you could just send them
584
00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:17.679
a file. And the other thing
is that with sending the file, you
585
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.719
can also see if I altered the
file, like oh, hey, I
586
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:24.199
had three dermal ridges and I doctored
it. No, no, no,
587
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:30.599
this is the picture. I loaded
it into a thing of a jig and
588
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:34.199
it gave me a scale model,
and I made a thing, you know,
589
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.639
and you're you're taking all the abstraction
out of it too. Sometimes when
590
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.000
people bring these plaster casts to you
don't know what the hell you're looking at.
591
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:45.320
It's just this mass of plaster with
not a lot of detailing there unless
592
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:49.159
you know what you're really looking at, you know. James Baker and I
593
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.960
had the you know, pleasure of
way way back in the day, almost
594
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:55.800
twenty years ago, making footprint casts, not knowing what the hell we were
595
00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:00.360
doing. Left the ground a little
bit foot back, and we put it
596
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:02.960
in a three hundred and seventy five
degree of them for forty five minutes,
597
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.920
like we're being at Crocker or something
to dry that sucker out. And we
598
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:09.760
had people want to buy it and
we were at a conference, like we
599
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:15.239
put it in the shadow box labeled
Jamie Baker size twelve, and people wanted
600
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:19.199
to buy you know, they come
up to us and ask, where's you
601
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.760
flos about this print? Well,
it's it's a James Baker size twelve,
602
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:25.920
you know, taken alongside Little Bear
Creek and Lacoming County. People wanted to
603
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:30.639
buy it make a print. I
don't know if we still had the video
604
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:36.079
we should post it somewhere. They
probably shouldn't posted. We probably shouldn't be
605
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:39.840
amazing. Then, Mike, we
baked it on a on a little tray
606
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:44.800
sheet tray in my kitchen when I
left over on the other side of South
607
00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:50.000
wayter Sport It. Forker has never
complained. You know, I've never claimed
608
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:53.000
to be anything of a track track
caster, right. We don't get them
609
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:58.960
a lot here in Pennsylvania. Our
soil is not really conducive to print leaving.
610
00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:01.960
And the ones that I have found
I never felt to be worth casting
611
00:50:02.039 --> 00:50:06.239
because they've always been suspected. Me, Matt, you and I have seen
612
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:08.039
photos of summer. Some people are
like, oh, those are great prints.
613
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.920
No they're not. There's somebody's foot
or they're a bear, I don't
614
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:15.800
need to cast that to know what
the hell I'm looking at. And so
615
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:19.679
you know, track casting is just
not something I got into, but it
616
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.800
is something as again you've hear me
bitch about it time and time again the
617
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:25.800
show to educate, and so Matt
Baker, we might get together a weekend
618
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:30.480
and sit there and cast some feet
all damn day. I don't care until
619
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:32.360
we get it right. We're not
leaving until we get it they have cast
620
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:39.320
right, like we did take Meldrum's
course there at the Creature weekend and he
621
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:43.880
taught us how to do it with
the spray foam as well, which was
622
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:46.119
pretty cool. If you're in a
hurry, Oh my god, I think
623
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:52.880
we're won the same socks the spray
phone the same day well, also as
624
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:57.679
a good substitute if you're in a
moment you need it a quick fix there
625
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:01.039
for its hurry foam is a lot
lighter than plaster. It is it is.
626
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:07.960
But I guess the other thing that
from twenty twenty three we have some
627
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:10.519
really great things coming out from technology, but then we also have the curse
628
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:17.039
the technology, and probably the biggest
thing that we saw in twenty twenty three
629
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:22.960
is AI images that were coming out
where people were passing everywhere. Everywhere,
630
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:29.199
they're passing photos and you're like,
oh my god, it's the same exact
631
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:36.840
AI image that I saw in another
photo. But the AI is getting smarter
632
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:44.920
and it's it's doing things to make
the make that image look more realistic to
633
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:50.480
somebody. So we're we're getting to
that point where again, the AI just
634
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:54.960
exploded this year. I think with
the I think with the AI, you've
635
00:51:54.960 --> 00:52:00.639
got to recognize the fact that it's
gonna leave tracers. Yeah, it's like
636
00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:04.880
I'm going through college and one of
the things that the professors are freaking out
637
00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:07.599
about is that you can have you
can have an I write your paper.
638
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:12.119
The thing is, though, is
when you turn the paper in, no
639
00:52:12.119 --> 00:52:14.599
matter how well you do it,
if you cut the paste or whatever,
640
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:19.199
there's still little tracers inside the thing
that say this was clearly not written by
641
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.360
James, Like like, if it
doesn't, if it doesn't go a half
642
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:27.920
sentence and then start a new phrase
without making a period, it wasn't a
643
00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:32.480
Baker paper, Okay, And you
know it's it's it's it's just the newest
644
00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:36.159
way that people are doing it.
And in the beginning, yes, it's
645
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:39.079
gonna be hard to track, but
as time goes on, you're gonna get
646
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:44.440
pictures and videos that are never gonna
that are never gonna stick up. The
647
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:49.199
big thing with AI is it doesn't
handle hands and feet, well, it
648
00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:55.360
doesn't. And eyes and ears are
actually the ears are probably one of the
649
00:52:55.400 --> 00:53:00.960
biggest targets that we look at.
Well it yep, as an artist and
650
00:53:01.039 --> 00:53:06.239
even probably as a police officer,
then you know that I in air policement,
651
00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:09.800
to nose are very important, like
you have to you know, That's
652
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:13.599
the one thing they taught me in
drawing class first is first you make a
653
00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:16.599
cross because you got to make sure
that the eyes and the ears line up
654
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:21.199
to the nose being in the middle, but not too far one way or
655
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:27.840
another. Otherwise the symmetry of the
face is just completely yep. But eventually
656
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:34.639
AI is starting to catch up and
it's teaching itself you know through yeah just
657
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:40.840
stay yeah pretty muchin skin Yeah it's
it's it's good, but it's still not
658
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:45.320
great and there's limitations. But ye, it's going to get harder as we
659
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:50.760
progress through technology. It's going to
get harder to delineate the difference between a
660
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:54.559
really good video and something that's really
good, really goodly, really goodly generated,
661
00:53:55.039 --> 00:54:00.119
really goodly. How about that,
Guys, we're in here pushing towards
662
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:02.679
the end of the hour. We've
only had a footnote of some of the
663
00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:06.880
things we talked about this year,
you know. How about also, we
664
00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:09.400
did that great series in the Swamp
Ape, you know, down south.
665
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:15.639
We talked with Matt Larson, you
know, who had an interesting episode on
666
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:20.280
his podcast about the Patterson film,
and I would encourage people to go check
667
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:23.519
that out and listen if they can. We did have a question from Jay.
668
00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:28.480
Maybe we'll use this question to wrap
it up, the question from j
669
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:30.440
Michael. Other than a body,
what do you guys think would be the
670
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:37.480
best evidence of bigfoot? We'll go
around the horn, starting at Baker Matt
671
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:40.639
Henry Vantam will end with me.
I would say, simply put is it
672
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:45.199
would be something we can duplicate.
It's if you've got hair evidence or you've
673
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:51.159
got footprint evidence, we can duplicate
it in the same area. Then I
674
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:54.800
would take that over a body.
Matt. I concur with that. I
675
00:54:55.039 --> 00:55:01.199
I agree, if you have something
that you could be I think that would
676
00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:07.840
satisfy the scientific community. I think
that what people are looking for is they're
677
00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:14.039
looking for that, you know,
for that super clear picture. And again
678
00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:16.199
I know there's people out there that
you know, they're turning in. They're
679
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:20.280
not going out there with their guns
anymore. They're going out with the telephoto
680
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:23.840
lenses and hiding in the bush trying
to get a photo. It's going to
681
00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:32.639
be that photo with prints, with
the ability to take research researchers from whether
682
00:55:32.679 --> 00:55:37.760
from a university or you know,
government to that area so they can get
683
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:46.159
eyes on the creature as well well. I think if you're looking for evidence,
684
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:52.719
evidence of footprints, evidence of hair, fecal manner, if you're looking
685
00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:59.559
for proof, definitely a body for
sure, besides the body or henry or
686
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:04.079
a piece of a body. Okay, he's saying a hand, a foot,
687
00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:07.719
a leg, the head, but
he's saying like fecal matter for instance,
688
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:12.440
like I have. I was walking
through my land yesterday. I had
689
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:15.320
no deer tracks, but I could
see little pellets everywhere, so I know
690
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:16.960
they were there. Now when I
checked my camera, there's a good chance
691
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:22.880
I'm going to see ten or twenty
deer because I know that that's an area
692
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:24.800
I'm in every week. And there
was a poop there last week, so
693
00:56:24.840 --> 00:56:30.840
there had there been an animal.
Now I can't until I don't need to
694
00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:36.679
find a dead deer to prove it. I just need to prove other collaborating
695
00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:38.840
evidence to say, yes, there
was something here. Yeah, but we
696
00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:45.679
know deer exist because we have bodies
and photos and exactly and someday maybe you
697
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:54.840
know vance you know, with with
all the plethora of evidence that is required
698
00:56:54.880 --> 00:57:00.400
to prove that this creature is real, if we found a berry site where
699
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:08.840
there's a full skeleton, some hair, bones, dental features, I think
700
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:13.360
that's what it's going to take.
I think it's gonna take more than just
701
00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:20.320
one item to prove that this is
in existence. I think it's gonna take
702
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:28.599
an entire skeletal remain in order to
prove the existence. Because while we have
703
00:57:28.679 --> 00:57:32.480
a hair here and it's primate,
but we can't describe it anymore. We
704
00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:37.400
have dental here, but we can't
prove any more than what it is.
705
00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:43.800
We have bones here. But if
you put it all together into one collaborative
706
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:49.679
package altogether, I think that's what
it's going to take. And you know,
707
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:53.840
we talked about this on a show
a couple episodes ago. What do
708
00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:58.079
they do with they're dead? Do
they bury their dead? And if the
709
00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:04.280
dead is buried, all that evidence
is going to be in one collaborative area
710
00:58:05.360 --> 00:58:09.679
and we may be able to decipher
that from you. National geographic quality video
711
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:16.000
evidence from multiple angles I think is
the only other acceptable thing we'd find that
712
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:21.800
could give validity because when you have
it from multiple angles and multiple vantage points
713
00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:27.679
and more than just ten seconds of
fleeting footage, it tells a different story.
714
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:30.320
Right, you would accept that from
gorillas even if before gorillas existed,
715
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:34.800
I think we would accept that.
They accepted that from the billiap at first,
716
00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:38.199
remember, oh yes, you caught
on footage. So I think when
717
00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:44.159
you have quality evidence or quality footage, that becomes a lot different because we
718
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:49.480
haven't had anything like that at all
that we know of. You know,
719
00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:52.199
when I've talked to Cliff Barrettman who
Cliff said he's seen things out there that
720
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:55.039
other people have it because some people
just don't want to put it out there
721
00:58:55.679 --> 00:59:02.320
and think about that everybody's motiva by
fame or fortune or whatnot. Some people
722
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:07.320
really do have a distinct moral compass
that says, hey, you know what
723
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:12.079
what we would do to this entity
creature being? Would be far worse by
724
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:19.920
acknowledging its existence than by just pretending
it doesn't exist in general. And so
725
00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:23.360
you know, there you have it. I think that would be the next
726
00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:30.480
acceptable thing, something that couldn't be
replicated with a costume or AI. And
727
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:36.119
you know it's not that hard.
You know, no matter how good Hollywood
728
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:43.119
gets, AI looks like AI,
it still looks computer generated. And becouple
729
00:59:43.199 --> 00:59:47.679
that with some poop and then evidence
starts stacking up. Folks, you've been

Keep on squatching
1
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:12.519
We got someone or something crawling around
out here. Does a legend walk among
2
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:21.399
us working in the forests of our
world? Did you see what it was?
3
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:23.960
Was it a person or an animal? Or I can't go. All
4
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.079
I know is if my entre light
came on and I just happened to glimp
5
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.239
and see this thing running across the
yard, a good side man or something
6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:39.119
works like a man. I don't
know what it was. For over fifteen
7
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:44.719
years, we've talked with scientists,
researchers, investigators, and witnesses trying to
8
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:51.840
gain insight and truth around the existence
of this mysterious entity. Jesus Christ,
9
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:59.359
Hello, get somebody out of here. What's going to announce? There's got
10
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.640

00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:25.519
We're gonna do. Join us as

14
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:49.560

00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.960
looking to make a friend, he's

20
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:13.439
guys, it's such great night to
be here and again Happy New year,
21
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.919
fellas. Good to see you.
Happy New Year. And just so
22
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.960
you got folks out there and listener
and lan believe it or not, guys,
23
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:27.759
we've got a ton of listeners tonight
on Acts, a platform that I
24
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.439
thought we'd never use, but we
had a great amount of listeners there in
25
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.879
the onslaught. It's pretty cool to
see that. So excellent. We got
26
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:42.000
Vance stuck. It didn't find Worth
Vance and Nesbitt. Guys. It's been
27
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.639
a strange year. It was a
good year and thank god it's over as
28
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.240
we start something different, something new. Although Matt had a rough one today,
29
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.479
we always got to give Matt a
little love and support because he's out
30
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.840
there doing the good work. So
thank you Matt for making sure people are
31
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.520
safe out there today. It's a
day I'm sure you deal with a ton
32
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:08.800
of assholes. We do. We
do anytime it's a holiday. It's never
33
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.280
a good day when you're working,
so or full moon. Full moon is
34
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.240
a whole different story. But yes, we we actually, yeah, we
35
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.719
we actually keep track of that.
So our good friend, a brother from
36
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.000
another mother or a man in Manitoba, Corey Luckapoi saying Happy New Year's guys,
37
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.879
Corey, Happy New Year's to you. Agree to have you in the
38
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.120
chat with us, my friend,
good to see you. Thanks so much
39
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.719
for tuning in. Like tonight's going
to be kind of a low key night.
40
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.360
It's the twenty twenty three year in
review, and we had some interesting
41
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.599
things to talk about from last year, guys. And I don't know if
42
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.759
we want to do it in any
particular chronological order, and if there is
43
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:52.719
something that's stuck out to you that
you thought you'd definitely want to talk about.
44
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.280
But I think the most important thing
to talk about, Henry, let
45
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.840
me get rid of this banner soppy
people can actually see your face is the
46
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:09.520
Bigfoot times well, Bigfoot of the
year now, yes, markmrcell And you
47
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.560
know what, I always feel like
there's some contention around Bigfoot of the Year.
48
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.800
Somebody always gets their feelings hurt or
it's kind of like, I don't
49
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.480
want to say it's like the oscars, but you know, there's always great
50
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:25.279
contenders for it, right no matter
which way you go, somebody's going to
51
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.319
be disappointed. And I think Mark
Marcell with the work he did in Epe
52
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.120
Canyon putting together the booklet Mountain Devil, he's working on a book about Ape
53
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.720
Canyon. Now, I think it
was a good choice, a little unconventional,
54
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.279
but he really put the time,
effort, and energy into going back
55
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.959
to one of the classic stories of
Bigfoot, one of the classic encounters.
56
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:51.040
Absolutely he did a great job with
it too, And I mean that's not
57
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:58.240
an easy thing to do because it's
hard to get to that location. Henry.
58
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.600
My understanding is that Mark has a
background and in that I want to
59
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:08.720
say surveying, but it's probably not
surveying that helped him look into the landmarkings
60
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:15.720
and whatnot to to help him find
the area. I believe he does had
61
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:21.720
some kind of background in that so
that enabled and be able to find the
62
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:30.560
area pretty easily. And also the
grandsons of some of the miners actually found
63
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.600
the long Logged Mind the vander White
mine as well. Vander White, the
64
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:41.000
name of the mine where they had
the encounter at Abe Canyon. So,
65
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.560
Matt, what were your thoughts on
the announcement of big Foot of the Year.
66
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.079
And I'm sure you had your own
list in your mind of people that
67
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:47.800
you thought might go and take it. You know what, I have my
68
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:54.879
own list, and there's people that, you know, I felt that deserved
69
00:05:54.920 --> 00:06:00.199
it. But the one thing is
is in I don't I hate to say
70
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:06.160
that there's a difference between East Coast
and West Coast, but you know,
71
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:12.480
like Mark Marcel, like we were
aware of what was going on, but
72
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.240
man to know all the you know, like the Olympia Project people, they
73
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.839
knew, like all the work on
the ground that he was putting in,
74
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:28.839
you know, everything entailing this big
announcement about the about finding the mind.
75
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.240
You know, it's something that kind
of lost on this because I think you're
76
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.319
on the East Coast, we're looking
more at you know, people like Alex
77
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:41.040
Petakov, you know who's who's here
on the East Coast part of small town
78
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.680
Monsters has been just outstanding with his
field work, outstanding with his productions.
79
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:53.319
And then you have somebody else too
that I thought was really well deserving of
80
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.680
Big fourt of the Year who just
seems to be getting passed over as Todd
81
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:05.399
Prescott and Todd it does such an
amazing job with his archives and yes,
82
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.720
and not only that, but it
was it was funny during COVID, I
83
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.360
almost had the opportunity to go go
out in the field with Todd, and
84
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.360
from what I understand, he is
one and ten percent like in it when
85
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.040
when you get to the field,
so you know, someone like him,
86
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.240
I you know, But then,
like I said, Mark Marcella, it's
87
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.199
one of those names like oh my
god, you know, like, yeah,
88
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.879
I completely forgot about Mark. But
like I said, with what he
89
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:42.439
brought forth with a canyon is just
absolutely amazing. We're gonna have him on
90
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.879
the show last year, and I
don't know, for whatever reason, the
91
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.319
signals got switched up and we never
did bring him in, but I think
92
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.639
we'll have to do that now that
he's the Bigfoot of the Year. Some
93
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:56.600
other names that were floated around,
David Sheeley, you know, kind of
94
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.399
a self nomination. If anybody reads
the Bigfoot Times newsletter Bigfoot Times dot net,
95
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.120
go and subscribe, get yourself a
physical newsletter that comes in the mail.
96
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:11.639
It's fantastic. I would it every
month and I didn't have that.
97
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.240
Tom Seawood also nominated himself for Bigfoot
of the Year, and so there you
98
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.920
have that. We have people self
nominating, which is okay, you think
99
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.879
you've done the work by all means, but Matt that you mentioned it.
100
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.920
Todd Prescott was another name that was
mentioned on the list. I don't know
101
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:37.279
if you read it in advance or
I've known Todd for many years and such
102
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.759
a good guys had a negative interaction
with Todd. He's got such a good
103
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.919
energy, good musician too, So
you can't take that away from But Bigfoot
104
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:48.240
of the Year always comes with that's
a little bit of controversy. But we're
105
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.039
glad one was announced again. If
you're just joining ash Mark Marcell Bigfoot of
106
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:58.039
the Year, as stated by the
Bigfoot Times Daniel Perez, they're pretty cool.
107
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:07.159
James Baker says, the one list
you'll want to be on. There
108
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.399
are many you don't, but that's
when you want to do. But guys,
109
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.679
i'd be remiss to say if you
know another big event that was kind
110
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.879
of it was It lasted longer than
I thought it would have, but it
111
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.519
had a really quick and impact or
had a really quick impact. Was that
112
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:35.200
Colorado train footage? Yes, yes, that was on my list talking about
113
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.840
tonight too. Yeah, well go
ahead, man, bring it up.
114
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:43.200
Let's talk about you know what without
really going too much in depth on it,
115
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.240
because everyone pretty much is aware of
the Colorado train footage. It was
116
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.360
shown on national news. It was
always you know, people are coming out
117
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.840
of the woodwork saying, oh,
this is a real thing. No,
118
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:03.639
it's a hoax. But the one
thing is is that it did show nine
119
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:09.720
percent solidarity in the Bigfoot community online
people in real life saying now, this
120
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:16.159
was a hoax, which I to
be honest, I think there should be
121
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.600
a little bit of pride in the
in the Bigfoot community for that, for
122
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.720
standing up to that and saying,
hey, you know this thing is not
123
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.720
you know what we think is so
I do you know, I do give
124
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.200
credit to the community at large for
kind of you know, looking at that
125
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.639
and calling out for what it was. It took about two days, three
126
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.639
days for us to really kind of
get you know, a good you look
127
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.840
at that video after it was initially
released the same yeah, yeah, this
128
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.559
isn't. But I'm glad for that
because a lot of times we embrace I'm
129
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.879
gonna use the word shit, but
we embrace it, and we embrace stuff
130
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.559
that we should never do. And
then what happens two weeks later, It's
131
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.960
on every news channel and we we're
sent back five years as being idiots,
132
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.440
you know, instead of you know, I'm either for the science. I've
133
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.320
already told you my opinion. It's
either really intelligent or it doesn't exist.
134
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.320
But when you have people that run
around and then you'll have twenty and then
135
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.080
every county has fourteen sightings because they
watched ABC News, can't help yeap.
136
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.159
You know, we're gonna get a
snippet of that in the news tonight or
137
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.480
the shit that the big Foot bullhorn
tonight. Vance puts a little news segment
138
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.480
in there, very relative to the
things we're talking about here this evening.
139
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.720
But no, James, I really
agree and everything you've all said so far,
140
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.360
we took it down quick as a
community, and that was a really
141
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.360
good thing. But I think the
one thing that I was even prouder of
142
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:54.480
was we really kept digging and going
into details. That's what it was going
143
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.799
on. I see Matt laughing,
and I see Baker with this devilish look.
144
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.600
Vance what's your thought on all this? The train, the Colorado Free
145
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:09.919
In my first take was it was
just a hoax for promotion, and that's
146
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:16.159
how I take it. And I
think it made itself very visible for those
147
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.360
on the train and then sat down
and squatted in the bushes to pretend like
148
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.279
it's hiding. But that's my tool. No. I mean, I think
149
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.200
when you look at it from a
context point of view, you were spot
150
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.320
on the money long lasting, it
was not, but we were able to
151
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.799
get some I think, connect some
dots and find out who was really sort
152
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.279
of find out who is responsible for
I don't think it's been concretely proven yet,
153
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.919
but we have a good idea that
it was done by a marketing outfit
154
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.080
out there, by one of those
RV RVs. So Baker, don't give
155
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.159
them any of your money this year, you know, find somebody to get
156
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:56.200
an RV from. We're buying the
Bigfoot wagon next year, telling you bigfoot
157
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:05.600
shagging wagon folks. That's where we're
at ritable. Oh my gosh, Henry,
158
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.759
what else has been out there with
you? Man? What do you
159
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.759
think? What twenty twenty three?
What was the big Henry May moment?
160
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:22.960
Oh goodness, Well, I think
the biggest moment was the announcement by Darby
161
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:31.919
Orcutt that he is receiving DNA.
He he's open to receiving DNA samples,
162
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.399
he by fines. Now, of
course Todd Disstel is also of course testing
163
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:46.320
DNA as well. No, I
think that's a good point that you bring
164
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.799
that up, Henry, that I
think Todd Distel has never stopped accepting DNA
165
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.679
samples. Right, we just wit
talking about doctor Disstel, But you got
166
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:01.279
a university backing this and actively engaging
in the collection of some information. I
167
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.120
think that's pretty cool. Matt.
You were pretty big on that announcement too.
168
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.919
I was, and obviously coming back
from having the back of the North
169
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:16.360
Carolina state, you really lend some
credence to the you know, to the
170
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:24.799
study. Hearing the doctor on another
podcast there, when the people receive the
171
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:31.679
or when people send the DNA samples
out, they are going to receive at
172
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:39.200
some point, you know, what
they basically what they have sent in an
173
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.519
analysis of that DNA. So even
if they brought something in and they weren't
174
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.000
sure of it, maybe it could
be something that they don't that they've never
175
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.320
seen before. Well, if it
comes back as maybe, uh, you
176
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.440
know, wolf DNA or bear DNA, they're going to get that. They're
177
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:01.080
still gonna I believe they're gonna hold
onto samples, which is a big positive.
178
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.120
So, you know, being able
to actually have a catalog and have
179
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:15.960
a chain of custody for that particular
item done in a university level is extremely
180
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.559
important because I know other DNA studies
that people send stuff in and they never
181
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.240
got anything in return, and you
know, they may have never found out
182
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.120
what that particularly was. No,
And I think that's a great point you
183
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.399
make there too, Matt, with
the chain of custody and the logging of
184
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.200
said information. I've sent stuff out
in the mail before. I told you
185
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.840
I sent stuff to doctor Jeff Meldrema
and lost it in mail, sent it
186
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.600
signature and everything, and it never
made it to its source. But that
187
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.440
doesn't have to be anything conspiratorial,
folks. Shit gets lost in the mail
188
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.639
all the time. But it is, you know, a good point when
189
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.399
you're talking about Evan's collection, and
you know, if somebody out there gives
190
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.120
them the recognition they need for actually
being the person to collect the good the
191
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.519
good data, right, that's pretty
great. Van, You got an opinion
192
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:07.159
on the DNA collection. Well,
look the plethora of DNA collection. Some
193
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.679
of it has turned out to be
so damn complicated we can't figure it out.
194
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:18.600
And others it comes back of unknown
origin. It's like you throw your
195
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.120
arms up in the air. It's
like, please make a decision. Well,
196
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.159
I again, with nothing to type
against an unknown specimen. You could
197
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:32.559
group all these unknown specimens together and
look for commonalities. Right, what's the
198
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.480
commonality? But still, until the
end of the day, you have something
199
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:37.720
to butt it up against that say, here it is with one hundred percent
200
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.600
beyond a shadow of it out,
not a reasonable doubt beyond a shadow of
201
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.039
it out. These two things are
alike and they are the same. That's
202
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.360
a big difference. That's a whole
another story. Even if it came back
203
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:55.799
as well, this is a primary
hair, just a primate hair. Just
204
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.720
give me that. Okay, that
gives us something to work with. But
205
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.519
it doesn't even come back as that. And I think there has to be
206
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:08.319
some more clarification or more pressing for
clarification. So when we just take it
207
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.039
that information out in somebody posts,
oh it's just an unknown primate, we
208
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.920
should be pressing back. Well,
what are the markers, what's it closer
209
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.480
to, what's it closest to in
terms of the primate family. Well,
210
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.799
I mean we're a bunch of damn
dirty abes too, so we're you know,
211
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.000
where does it fall in in perspective
to us? So there's a lot
212
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.799
more questions we could ask, But
here's the bottom line. As a research
213
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.599
community, we're kind of stupid.
We don't go out of our way to
214
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:41.079
educate ourselves and improve ourselves and in
a necessary way to have those conversations.
215
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.640
That's why we need folks to speak
on our behalf that do have that education
216
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.279
and credential. I'm never going to
be, you know, a speaker of
217
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.960
the bigfoot house, you know,
rubbing elbows with the scientists. That's just
218
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.680
not my forte. You know,
I'm a plain spoken man. God,
219
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.240
I just almost call myself the George
Bush or Bigfooters. But you know,
220
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.799
just plain spoken and that's all right. But you know, when it comes
221
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.799
to dealing with this on an academic
level, people really know what they need
222
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.200
to know what the hell they're talking
about, and we just haven't done a
223
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.319
you know, we're weekend warriors for
the most part. You have a few
224
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.160
out there that are becoming really a
little bit more professional. But unless you
225
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:25.400
really are a professional dialed into this
and your speciality is maybe DNA not anatomy
226
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:30.440
in physiology, you know, it's
a different story. But that's just my
227
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.640
two cents, Matt, did you
have a rebuttal or a pine on that.
228
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:45.119
I don't. Again, I think
that the other thing too is with
229
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.440
the study, it's not going to
be something where they're able to get analysis
230
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:59.000
done and say this is definitely an
unknown primid or known harmited. Basically,
231
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.559
this is going to take year So
we may be looking at two, three,
232
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:10.680
four years before we get that big
nugget of big news coming from this.
233
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.240
And I'm sure that they are going
to be getting a lot of samples
234
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:21.240
that are going to be misidentified,
not from the university or from the people
235
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:25.359
doing the analysis, but possibly from
those in the field. And again that
236
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.599
happens, you know again that there
could be something there that you know,
237
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:36.559
the field researcher may not have been
aware of in that particular area. But
238
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:42.079
but again it's gonna take I think
a good solid two years before we you
239
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:48.079
know, we get that big yes
there's something or no, there's nothing here.
240
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.599
But even if they even if they
find that they find a sample,
241
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:57.720
let's say is an ape like creature, there's also then have to investigate that
242
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.039
point to find out out what's going
on, because there's going to be that
243
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.920
twenty percent of people that are gonna
send gonna go to the zoom, cut
244
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.519
a chimp's hair and throw it in
a bag and just to screw with them.
245
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:12.160
So, I mean, before you
know, it's kind of like we
246
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.359
talk about some other people that are
on you know, different things, like
247
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.599
you have to confirm enough to be
able to say this, okay, not
248
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.920
only is an unknown ap but it's
from a credible source. Yes, you
249
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:26.720
know so, and that's where your
two years is coming in. It's not
250
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.480
as much like they can't throw it
through you know, you watch NCIS,
251
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.359
so like five minutes later they know
they know the exactly who the guy is,
252
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.960
yes, but they also have twenty
seven pieces of information and also tie
253
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.920
him to being there. Yep,
you know. And I do think that
254
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:52.079
once the once they do get some
positive analysis, they're probably gonna start getting
255
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.880
the research at that point and going
back in. If you get a certain
256
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.480
individual that says, hey, you
know, I was out in the algai
257
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.599
National Forest or I was up in
you know, West Virginia, and I
258
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:10.279
got the sample and alone, behold
you you find out that the guy never
259
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:14.920
left the city of Philadelphia, you
know, and probably went down to the
260
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.039
to the zoo. You know.
Then Okay, I could you know,
261
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.359
I could see, you know,
the questions being being thrown at them.
262
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:27.920
But you do have some very good
field researchers that have already been submitting samples.
263
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.559
So I think there's a lot of
people, you know, in the
264
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:41.359
Naywak Group area X, I think
have probably began submitting I know that they
265
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.680
had been talking about it, and
you know, just researchers, good field
266
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:52.559
researchers throughout the country. Yeah,
that had evidence, and we're planning on
267
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:57.839
submitting it well. And the waiting
game is okay by me because I can't
268
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.720
get any you can't get any more
frustrating than what it is. We just
269
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.079
have to be patient and wait.
But you know, even with the you
270
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.839
know, the emergence of the using
e DNA right to you know, new
271
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:18.359
types of samples, that's a lot
of sifting and you know, collected information
272
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:23.559
to hopefully get something that is I
really even though it's really cool and we
273
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:29.200
have that capability, it's very,
very difficult to get something tangible from that.
274
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:30.720
I feel like it was a glimmer
of hope for all of us.
275
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.880
And if you do an expedition Bigfoot
and everybody gets excited, and then when
276
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.559
people actually start talking about how the
hell it really works, it's like a
277
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.519
big kick in the balls. Oh
that was great, and uh wow,
278
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:45.000
I see that. I see that
at work all the time. We got
279
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:49.400
a new guy and he's really interested
in, you know, in the stuff
280
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.559
that I do, and and you
know he's thinking that it's all, you
281
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.720
know, everything you see on TV
is is what happens. You send you
282
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.440
send things in. There's crime lab, you know, attached to your apartment.
283
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.200
You could go right there now.
I mean I got to drive it
284
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:10.480
up to, you know, a
laboratory. It's an hour and a half
285
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:15.880
away. You know, I sign
all sorts of chain of custody paperwork on
286
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.240
it. I have to make sure
that everything is submitted the correct way,
287
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:23.240
and then from there they do their
thing. And when you do get the
288
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:29.000
results back, oh my god.
You know, it's it's almost like you
289
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:33.559
need a PhD just to read it. But I think that goes to Baker's
290
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.079
point, where you know, you
have that Hollywood idea in your head of
291
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.039
the NCI as you take it down
to the lady in the basement and she's
292
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.200
going to run it through all these
high tech machines. Then no local police
293
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:47.440
department can afford. But you know
most people don't have You got to take
294
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:51.680
it somewhere and get it tested.
So there's an unrealistic expectation about how that
295
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:56.000
all comes to fruition as well.
It's actually something that we deal with in
296
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.680
mind line and work and when we
take a case to a jury trial,
297
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.960
and we call it the CSI effect. And for those people in law enforcement
298
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:10.799
that are that are listening, the
CSI effect has been been ongoing for probably
299
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.680
the last twenty years, where you
know, they'll people ask, well,
300
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.200
why didn't you get a fingerprint off
of off this particular right, and well,
301
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:23.519
you know, prints could be there, but for them to be developed
302
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:29.480
and for them to be you know, processed, it may not be able
303
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.559
to you know, be to fruition. So you know, we get that
304
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.799
quite a bit from from jury's so
it's something that we have to deal with,
305
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.119
but it's also something that we as
a big for community need to deal
306
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.559
with as well, because of the
family. That's a good point. You
307
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.079
know, when you hit when your
fingerprinted, which I have been sorry to
308
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:53.720
say, we can grab the thumb. The officer will grab the thumb and
309
00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:00.359
roll it across the ink pad.
But that's not how fingerprint and prints are
310
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:06.799
left. Naturally. You might only
have a partial of a fingerprint that's not
311
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.359
conclusive enough to evidence. Now,
we would actually need a certain amount of
312
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:17.400
what we call points identifying points from
that in order to make an identification,
313
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.759
and there's a sets standard for that. But yeah, I mean I was
314
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:27.599
doing Layton prints today and you know
what I ended up having to deal with
315
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:33.359
was people were overlaying their fingerprints over
the print that I wanted, and so
316
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:38.920
it was impossible for us to to
actually an identifiable print. So now you
317
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:42.519
look at that in terms of the
bigfoot community, you know, what can
318
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.640
you learn from that? Well,
you know, the one thing is is
319
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:51.359
if you if you see a possible
handprint. You know a lot of people
320
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:56.359
talk about handprints on cars car windows, just don't touch it, you know,
321
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.279
like stay away from it. You
know, wait till you have everything
322
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:06.880
there to collect it to And why
I say collected it's not just you know,
323
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:11.240
taking taking powder to it and lifting
it, but actually photographing it,
324
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.960
you know, getting the measurements from
it, because that all helps. And
325
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.039
again this is something that that could
be transferred over to the to the big
326
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:23.759
foot community, you know, and
take your time with it. I think
327
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:29.319
what everybody forgets is a simple point
is is like and I'm sure you see
328
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:33.599
a lot of it. That is
it's the moment, yes, you you
329
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.839
see all these things. And I'll
just say you say, you say you
330
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.720
see bigfoot touch a tree and you're
just over there standing around the tree and
331
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:47.519
you're touching the tree and you're whatever. You're not helping, you're just screwing
332
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:52.039
up more evidence because now your fingerprints
are meshed with this other one. And
333
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.400
maybe maybe you're a shudder or a
secrete or whatever they call it, you
334
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.319
know, so you're leaving stuff all
over the place, and like because you
335
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:06.880
spit when you talk and you're really
excited or you know, and you just
336
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.400
wipe the print away. So and
the thing is what it is. It's
337
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.880
even in your thing. If someone
got let's go, for instance, there
338
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:17.400
was a body in a car.
Whoever opens the door to get the body
339
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.200
might not be a police officers that
trained to glove up. It might be
340
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:23.920
it might be his mom going,
oh my god, Joey might be alive.
341
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:29.000
And they own the body and they
move and they touch the steering wheel
342
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.000
to try to get a better access
to check whether his neck is good and
343
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.039
stuff. So like you have like
and I know they have like a way
344
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:37.680
to test whose prints or whatever,
and they have that. But at the
345
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.839
same time is while she's checking the
neck, maybe there was a really good
346
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:48.119
print here from the killer. Well
now it's gone. Well, you know,
347
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.799
that is a good point. But
the one thing that like, especially
348
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:59.440
for going out into the field is
if you see a print, the biggest
349
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.400
thing is the biggest mystique I see
people do is when they see prints,
350
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.039
they try to touch it, you
know, they try to even just to
351
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:11.920
pad it. Do not do that, because there have been prints that I
352
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.920
believe Cliff Barackman was saying that he
is a print in one of his collections
353
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:22.480
where somebody went in put their finger
into into the impression and you could actually
354
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:30.680
see the finger impression within the foot
impression. So you're not getting that natural
355
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.200
perspective of that of that impression because
you know, somebody put their you know,
356
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.880
went to see, yeah, this
is three times bigger than my hand,
357
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:42.519
so it ought to be that,
and then they touched the print.
358
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:45.680

I found out recently that big feet means
378
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:33.039
big penis. Yeah. If that's
true, how can we call him Bigfoot
379
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:44.279
instead of the fat cock monster?
Yeah? Maybe that's why it's blurry.
380
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:49.680
You know. They just gotta citcure
out that huge park. Wow, quite
381
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:56.839
a spicy way of kicking things off, only cow Welcome to the very first
382
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:03.359
square on your brand new calendar.
This is the Bigfoot Bullhorn, exclusively on
383
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:08.920
the Sasquatch experience, and let's kick
things off by how the year ended in
384
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:18.160
twenty three going to December twenty eighth. Out of winter Green, Virginia is
385
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.519
Bigfoot real or not, we may
never know. But here's how the news
386
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:27.960
report went Surprize surprise, Some bigfoot
sightings in winter Green have been debunked.
387
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.559
According to police, it was someone
who was having a laugh and wanted the
388
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:37.359
quote to create a little lighthearted conversation. As for whether there really is a
389
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.599
bigfoot anywhere else, we're just going
to say, amateur sasquatch seekers always hope
390
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:47.240
something BIG's afoot. Well, that
laugh, I never want to hear that
391
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:52.200
laugh again. Thank you. There
were many sightings in winter Green of a
392
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.680
large, hairy figure on the mountain
and in wooded areas and even on ring
393
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:05.200
cameras. Now I have forwarded the
photograph that ABC three News used to clickbait
394
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:10.880
you into this story. The photograph, my opinion, looks Legit looks like
395
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:16.359
it could be a bigfoot, definitely
not a dude in the suit. However,
396
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:22.839
they did post one other picture that
is completely different of an individual clearly
397
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:28.079
in a costume, obscured by property, fences and trees and is out of
398
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:31.400
focus. See this is what they
do. Now. The report goes on
399
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:37.559
to say these bigfoot sightings were staged, according to the Winter Green Police Department.
400
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:44.640
Now winter Green, Virginia is located
south southwest of the Shenandoah National Forest
401
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:52.559
and due west of winter Green,
Virginia is the George Washington Jefferson National Forest
402
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:59.160
in the mountains. Seems like a
habitat place to me that a bigfoot might
403
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:04.519
be stomped around. I don't know. This is Virginia. Crazy things happened
404
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.519
there. But why do I bring
all this up? Well, let's go
405
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:12.160
on with the news story. Chief
Dennis Russell said they got a small handful
406
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.599
of calls about it. It was
just I guess, maybe something that maybe
407
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:20.880
got out of hand, but it
was all fun and games. Russell said
408
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:24.799
the Bigfoot impostors stopped when he found
out people were taking it more seriously than
409
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:31.319
expected. I think he just wanted
to maybe elevate people's happiness during the holiday
410
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:36.559
season, he said. He said
there was nothing criminal to it. I
411
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:40.160
believe most people ninety nine percent knew
that it was all in jest, because,
412
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.519
let's be honest, Bigfoot in Winter
Green, he wouldn't come here,
413
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:50.319
he said, with a laugh.
Russell said they didn't have to tell him
414
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.960
to stop, but he thinks he
realized on his own notice they use the
415
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:59.680
word he thinks he realized on his
own. The police department never had a
416
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.599
kind with this individual. There's no
names put out there. He did clearly
417
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:07.880
state there was nothing criminal about this, but they're convinced it was a hoax
418
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:15.039
without talking to the person that perpetrated
this hoax. It was something people were
419
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:21.079
thinking was more than what it was. Again, it's quite possible this is
420
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.400
a primarya for a bigfoot to be
sighted. And I'm wondering who is more
421
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:30.039
guilty here. If it was an
impostor wearing a costume, Okay, so
422
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.199
be it. We don't like cultures, but so be it. But then
423
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:40.320
I see ABC three News doing the
same thing by using this ring camera photo
424
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:47.559
of something that looks legitimate and something
that is clearly just yes. When we
425
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.280
come back, Hey, Washington State's
going to kick off this year, and
426
00:34:52.440 --> 00:35:01.719
it's going to be really interesting to
see how this goes down. You're listening
427
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:19.000
to the Sasquatch experience. Are you
a vegan who just misses the entire meat
428
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:23.119
eating process? Do you crave not
just the juicy taste of dead flesh,
429
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:28.239
but want to be part of the
medieval tradition of killing it? Well,
430
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:34.199
come on down to Vick Vegan Slaughterhouse. At Vix Vegan Slaughterhouse, you'll be
431
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:38.239
given a personal tour of our organic
vegetable garden and get to pick your victim
432
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:44.239
personally. Then you'll watch as we
joyfully put a bullet in the head of
433
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:50.159
your squash, radish or cabbage.
If you're specially bloodthirsty. There's nothing like
434
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:54.960
electrocuting of kew Vix Vegan Slaughterhouse.
You don't have to eat meat to enjoy
435
00:35:55.039 --> 00:36:00.880
torturing and killing a living thing.
Bring the kids and get a reside of
436
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:25.599
murdered peace. Well, now that
Mount Saint Helen is blown its top,
437
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:29.960
which seems like a couple of years
ago to me because I'm old, but
438
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:35.679
that was forty four years ago.
At the base of Mount Saint Helen's is
439
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:42.079
the twenty twenty four Squatch Fest.
It happens on Friday January twenty six from
440
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:47.119
four pm to eight pm and Saturday, January twenty seventh from ten am to
441
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:54.199
eight pm. This year's world renowned
speakers will be Cliff Barrickman, who's been
442
00:36:54.239 --> 00:37:00.559
on the Sasquatch Experience, Shane Corson, who's gonna be on the side Sasquatch
443
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:07.599
Experience and doctor Jeff Meldrum will try
to get on the Sasquatch Experience along with
444
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:13.119
Ken Gerhard, Matt Pruitt, and
Michael Freeman. The event will be held
445
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:19.719
at Cowlitz County Events Center, which
is located at nineteen hundred seventh Avenue in
446
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:24.599
Longview, Washington. For more information

listening to this edition of The Bigfoot Bullhorn
448
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:37.239
exclusively on the Sasquatch Experience, and
from all of us at the Sasquatch Experience,
449
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:44.639
we wish you a safe and secure
twenty twenty four and as always,
450
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:58.840
everybody keep your toe in the mind. Well that was a spicy news segment.
451
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.880
I didn't know we did kick off
with that shocker looking for We're going
452
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:06.559
to have to call ourselves a new
type of show here. I'm not even
453
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:09.079
going to say what I was going
to say because my grandma might be watching.
454
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:13.639
Happy birthday, Grandma. We we
love you, No, folks,
455
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:22.159
I agree with you. I can't
stand these reporters. I just want to
456
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:29.519
punch you in the face. Oh
fascinate the asparagus, kill the broccoli.
457
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:31.639
You've got a lot of people here
that are willing to go to Vick's Vegan
458
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:37.840
Slaughterhouse with you. I like a
nice cauliflower as a side dish, not
459
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:45.880
a main course. You know,
I'm a meat eater. I'm afraid I
460
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:52.000
think I think the use of the
cucumber may get out of hand. You
461
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.840
got to use the creeter and cucumber
all in one evening, Folks, if
462
00:38:55.840 --> 00:39:00.920
you haven't been using your James Baker
bingo, tonight's the night you win the
463
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:06.000
jackpot. Folks. You're listening to
the Sasquad experience here on the second part
464
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:07.639
of the show, Sean Forker,
James Baker, Matt Arner, Van z
465
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:12.079
Nesbitt, and Henry May down the
corner. It's like Hollywood Squares, but
466
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.519
with all the empty spots, and
some of us are actually funny. Not
467
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:21.960
me, but James Baker. You
know, I want to add to the
468
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.400
entire conversation of what we were talking
about Researchers of the Year. I have
469
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:35.079
been completely enveloped in watching a lot
of the research that goes on that's posted
470
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:42.559
on YouTube. I have to give
kudos to Alexander Pettakoff, and to Eli
471
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:47.559
Watson, and to Seth Breedlow I
mean, these guys are putting themselves into
472
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:53.159
places all over the country to do
the research that is necessary. And I
473
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:58.920
want to give those three at least, you know, I'll put them up
474
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.800
on the pedestal to say, you
know what, they're putting money and the
475
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:08.679
efforting for all of this, and
I think that that research is definitely a
476
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:15.800
double thumbs a double enthusiastic thumbs up
for all three of those gentlemen. Yeah.
477
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:17.760
No, I think they're all you
know, worthy names that you've mentioned,
478
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:21.599
people out there doing the work.
I think, yeah, you know,
479
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:25.519
here's the problem. I've been working
with Heather Moser on a project offline,
480
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:32.559
off the public radar about discussing researchers
that have been in this for a
481
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:36.880
long time that have gotten no recognition
whatsoever. And there have been so many
482
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.000
over the years who have been left
behind for reasons sometimes we just can't explain.
483
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:45.440
But for Joan Jeffers personally, for
me, because she was a PA
484
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:51.480
researcher and so tight to the early
parts, tied to Stan Gordon and doctor
485
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:57.920
Paul Johnson, she's been forgotten about
in Pennsylvania and actually just UFO Bigfoot history
486
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:00.400
in general, and it's quite sad
because she was a maze your contributor in
487
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:05.039
those fifties, sixties and seventy years, you know where she was, you
488
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:07.519
know, really active. She passed
away before the Internet boom, and I
489
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:12.519
became familiar with her posthumously, so
not even somebody who was actually able to
490
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:15.519
meet. But her story has always
been compelling to me because there's nothing out
491
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:21.159
there. And I got this to
Heather, and you know, she she
492
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:24.480
started making Joan come to life for
me. And actually, at one point
493
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:28.679
she sending me all this information,
I actually got quite emotional over it because
494
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:31.400
it's like somebody who's giving me the
genealogy of a grandmother that I didn't know
495
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:36.840
existed. Because for just some reason, I've had a kinship with Joan that
496
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.119
are a connection that I can't explain. And hopefully Heather and I get a
497
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:44.239
chance to really sit down together and
tell her story to all of you,
498
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:49.280
because I think there's just something really
impactful about it. And that also happened
499
00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:51.599
in twenty twenty three, as she
and I had you know, the last
500
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:53.519
couple of weeks of the year.
She and I really pulled it together.
501
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:58.320
She did all the work, I
did some validation, I kept encouraging her,
502
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:00.800
but I gave her a mission,
and my god, man, did
503
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:05.199
she just go to work and start
pulling shit out of the air I hadn't
504
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:08.800
seen before with very limited information.
And yes, Brian, I agree,
505
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:14.679
Heather Moser rock. She really does. And I can't wait to kind of
506
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:19.360
continue to go down some of these, you know, some of these lesser
507
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:24.360
contributors. Right. It's important to
me that everybody that's been a part of
508
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:29.280
this gets a notation somewhere. And
you've heard me say many times, especially
509
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:30.960
you, Matt, when it comes
to myself, I'm just a footnote in
510
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:37.079
this story. This is an amazing
story with tons of characters and amazing people
511
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:42.880
and places, and everybody's worthy of, you know, having notation, especially
512
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:46.679
when it comes to contributions that you
know you never got recognition for. So
513
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:52.239
I'm just thinking again over the moon
that Heather was able to pull all this
514
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.960
together and there's much more to come, but you know, publicly, I
515
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:59.639
wanted to just put a little something
out there and hopefully she doesn't hit me
516
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:02.440
with a rock, because it was
just I mean, honestly, she just
517
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:06.400
blew my mind. Guys. So
I mean, if there was a researcher
518
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:10.719
that should that we might want to
talk about, you know, chronological chronic
519
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:15.000
I can't even see the name chronicler
of the year. You know, she
520
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.440
definitely needs to take the cake on
that one. Just absolutely amazing what the
521
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:23.280
research she can do out of this
world, well, especially on the property
522
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:28.719
in which she has her cabinet,
and there's been a lot of creepy stuff
523
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:32.039
that's happened there, especially if you
follow a wrong with it. There is
524
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:38.320
a lot of creepy stuff that's gone
on there and it does leave evidence behind,
525
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:43.079
So you know, you throw your
hands up in the air, going,
526
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:49.880
wow, what is happening? And
I can understand with her position why
527
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:55.840
she's so enthralled and taking more of
a further step into the research of this.
528
00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:01.599
Also to the point that with Joan
guys Jones a woman, and in
529
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:06.320
this research, the women really do
get left behind, especially at that point
530
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:12.079
in time. And to have another
female researcher with me that got invested in
531
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:16.039
this project and who's doing the work
that very much the work Joan did,
532
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:21.159
it's kind of like seeing it come
full circle and it living on through someone
533
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:22.639
else. So to me, I
don't know, maybe I'm a little I
534
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:28.199
don't know. I'm a sucker for
a story or sentimental or you know,
535
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.880
but it's just meaningful to me,
and hopefully it's as meaningful to everyone else
536
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:36.239
because I can't wait to tell again, tell Joan's story for you know,
537
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:39.360
help tell Joones's story for everybody.
Matt, I know there are some things
538
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:42.599
you wanted to tackle, but before
we hit the brake, let's get into
539
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:46.239
them. Yeah, you know what
we were we're just kind of discussing offline
540
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:52.800
here about technology. And there was
a comment for one of our listeners about
541
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.920
you know, some people don't go
into the woods with plaster. You know,
542
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:01.320
some people don't go into the woods
with casting me materials. Now,
543
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:07.159
again, I don't want to discuss
too much about by a small town monster
544
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.760
fest ordeal. When when I brought
the when I brought the plastic bags with
545
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:15.800
the plaster, you know that that
was a little embarrassing. But anyways,
546
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:20.119
but I do I'll bring I'll bring
some plaster with me. I'll bring some
547
00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:24.119
water with me. But the one
thing that we've been using, and this
548
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:29.039
kind of goes into you know what
we're talking about with twenty twenty three,
549
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:35.440
is you know your cell phone.
I have an app called Scanaverse and both
550
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:42.159
myself and Sean have gotten this app
and what it does is it's basically like
551
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:50.000
a light or app where it will
give you basically that image, that depth,
552
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:57.000
every little detail about that impression that
that's in the that's on the ground.
553
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:01.400
And we were playing around with it. I got some really neat ELK
554
00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:07.519
tracks. I sent one to Sean
during the break. But they're at the
555
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:12.800
point now where some of the higher
end light R programs are being able to
556
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:21.000
be produced as a three D model. So instead of actually casting you know,
557
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.639
a print like we normally would,
you would take a light er scan.
558
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:28.119
Now, again this is with higher
end models, but I'm sure the
559
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.480
technology is going to catch up pretty
soon and then you would be able to
560
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:37.719
put that into a computer to make
a three D scan of that impression.
561
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.679
So that may be where the future
is going. But this is something that
562
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:47.000
really came about, you know,
really strong in twenty twenty three, and
563
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:52.880
it's something that as a field researcher, myself and Sean have used and it's
564
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:58.440
been fantastic. And I did have
prints that I didn't have casting materials with.
565
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:05.519
I did the light ar scan and
you know, it actually looked pretty
566
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:08.679
decent once it came up. So
we've used this on elk print, on
567
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:13.239
Turkey print. I think the Turkey
prints were the best that we've done so
568
00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:15.639
far. But you know, imagine
being able to take that and sink it
569
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:20.039
with a three D printer. So
now you can three D print your casts
570
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:23.280
as opposed to have Now that's where
it might get a little sketchy, right,
571
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:27.280
because how good is a three D
print going to be able to replicate
572
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:30.519
some of those details you would get
in a casting artifact. But to you
573
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:35.639
know, the point that Jay Michael
made and the friend j Michael long earlier
574
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:39.760
in the chat made that not everybody
carries plaster and or they carry it spilled
575
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:43.480
all over the floor of a conference. Yeah, make it judgment. I'm
576
00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:47.480
just saying, you have you know, you can only carry so much of
577
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:52.559
the damn stuff before it becomes a
little you know, cumbersome. Now you
578
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:55.480
have the ability to take scans and
upload it and you know a little different.
579
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:59.320
And I'm sure as three D printing
gets better, it will be able
580
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:02.880
to replicate those nuances that are you
know, picked up in the scans.
581
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:07.239
Sure, And it also would be
easier to send other people because if you
582
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.519
wanted someone like one of the one
of the big names to look at it
583
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:14.320
and go, hey, what do
you think, you could just send them
584
00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:17.679
a file. And the other thing
is that with sending the file, you
585
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.719
can also see if I altered the
file, like oh, hey, I
586
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:24.199
had three dermal ridges and I doctored
it. No, no, no,
587
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:30.599
this is the picture. I loaded
it into a thing of a jig and
588
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:34.199
it gave me a scale model,
and I made a thing, you know,
589
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.639
and you're you're taking all the abstraction
out of it too. Sometimes when
590
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.000
people bring these plaster casts to you
don't know what the hell you're looking at.
591
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:45.320
It's just this mass of plaster with
not a lot of detailing there unless
592
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:49.159
you know what you're really looking at, you know. James Baker and I
593
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.960
had the you know, pleasure of
way way back in the day, almost
594
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:55.800
twenty years ago, making footprint casts, not knowing what the hell we were
595
00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:00.360
doing. Left the ground a little
bit foot back, and we put it
596
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:02.960
in a three hundred and seventy five
degree of them for forty five minutes,
597
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.920
like we're being at Crocker or something
to dry that sucker out. And we
598
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:09.760
had people want to buy it and
we were at a conference, like we
599
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:15.239
put it in the shadow box labeled
Jamie Baker size twelve, and people wanted
600
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:19.199
to buy you know, they come
up to us and ask, where's you
601
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.760
flos about this print? Well,
it's it's a James Baker size twelve,
602
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:25.920
you know, taken alongside Little Bear
Creek and Lacoming County. People wanted to
603
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:30.639
buy it make a print. I
don't know if we still had the video
604
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:36.079
we should post it somewhere. They
probably shouldn't posted. We probably shouldn't be
605
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:39.840
amazing. Then, Mike, we
baked it on a on a little tray
606
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:44.800
sheet tray in my kitchen when I
left over on the other side of South
607
00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:50.000
wayter Sport It. Forker has never
complained. You know, I've never claimed
608
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:53.000
to be anything of a track track
caster, right. We don't get them
609
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:58.960
a lot here in Pennsylvania. Our
soil is not really conducive to print leaving.
610
00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:01.960
And the ones that I have found
I never felt to be worth casting
611
00:50:02.039 --> 00:50:06.239
because they've always been suspected. Me, Matt, you and I have seen
612
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:08.039
photos of summer. Some people are
like, oh, those are great prints.
613
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.920
No they're not. There's somebody's foot
or they're a bear, I don't
614
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:15.800
need to cast that to know what
the hell I'm looking at. And so
615
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:19.679
you know, track casting is just
not something I got into, but it
616
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.800
is something as again you've hear me
bitch about it time and time again the
617
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:25.800
show to educate, and so Matt
Baker, we might get together a weekend
618
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:30.480
and sit there and cast some feet
all damn day. I don't care until
619
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:32.360
we get it right. We're not
leaving until we get it they have cast
620
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:39.320
right, like we did take Meldrum's
course there at the Creature weekend and he
621
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:43.880
taught us how to do it with
the spray foam as well, which was
622
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:46.119
pretty cool. If you're in a
hurry, Oh my god, I think
623
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:52.880
we're won the same socks the spray
phone the same day well, also as
624
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:57.679
a good substitute if you're in a
moment you need it a quick fix there
625
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:01.039
for its hurry foam is a lot
lighter than plaster. It is it is.
626
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:07.960
But I guess the other thing that
from twenty twenty three we have some
627
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:10.519
really great things coming out from technology, but then we also have the curse
628
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:17.039
the technology, and probably the biggest
thing that we saw in twenty twenty three
629
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:22.960
is AI images that were coming out
where people were passing everywhere. Everywhere,
630
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:29.199
they're passing photos and you're like,
oh my god, it's the same exact
631
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:36.840
AI image that I saw in another
photo. But the AI is getting smarter
632
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:44.920
and it's it's doing things to make
the make that image look more realistic to
633
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:50.480
somebody. So we're we're getting to
that point where again, the AI just
634
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:54.960
exploded this year. I think with
the I think with the AI, you've
635
00:51:54.960 --> 00:52:00.639
got to recognize the fact that it's
gonna leave tracers. Yeah, it's like
636
00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:04.880
I'm going through college and one of
the things that the professors are freaking out
637
00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:07.599
about is that you can have you
can have an I write your paper.
638
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:12.119
The thing is, though, is
when you turn the paper in, no
639
00:52:12.119 --> 00:52:14.599
matter how well you do it,
if you cut the paste or whatever,
640
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:19.199
there's still little tracers inside the thing
that say this was clearly not written by
641
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.360
James, Like like, if it
doesn't, if it doesn't go a half
642
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:27.920
sentence and then start a new phrase
without making a period, it wasn't a
643
00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:32.480
Baker paper, Okay, And you
know it's it's it's it's just the newest
644
00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:36.159
way that people are doing it.
And in the beginning, yes, it's
645
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:39.079
gonna be hard to track, but
as time goes on, you're gonna get
646
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:44.440
pictures and videos that are never gonna
that are never gonna stick up. The
647
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:49.199
big thing with AI is it doesn't
handle hands and feet, well, it
648
00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:55.360
doesn't. And eyes and ears are
actually the ears are probably one of the
649
00:52:55.400 --> 00:53:00.960
biggest targets that we look at.
Well it yep, as an artist and
650
00:53:01.039 --> 00:53:06.239
even probably as a police officer,
then you know that I in air policement,
651
00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:09.800
to nose are very important, like
you have to you know, That's
652
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:13.599
the one thing they taught me in
drawing class first is first you make a
653
00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:16.599
cross because you got to make sure
that the eyes and the ears line up
654
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:21.199
to the nose being in the middle, but not too far one way or
655
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:27.840
another. Otherwise the symmetry of the
face is just completely yep. But eventually
656
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:34.639
AI is starting to catch up and
it's teaching itself you know through yeah just
657
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:40.840
stay yeah pretty muchin skin Yeah it's
it's it's good, but it's still not
658
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:45.320
great and there's limitations. But ye, it's going to get harder as we
659
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:50.760
progress through technology. It's going to
get harder to delineate the difference between a
660
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:54.559
really good video and something that's really
good, really goodly, really goodly generated,
661
00:53:55.039 --> 00:54:00.119
really goodly. How about that,
Guys, we're in here pushing towards
662
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:02.679
the end of the hour. We've
only had a footnote of some of the
663
00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:06.880
things we talked about this year,
you know. How about also, we
664
00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:09.400
did that great series in the Swamp
Ape, you know, down south.
665
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:15.639
We talked with Matt Larson, you
know, who had an interesting episode on
666
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:20.280
his podcast about the Patterson film,
and I would encourage people to go check
667
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:23.519
that out and listen if they can. We did have a question from Jay.
668
00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:28.480
Maybe we'll use this question to wrap
it up, the question from j
669
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:30.440
Michael. Other than a body,
what do you guys think would be the
670
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:37.480
best evidence of bigfoot? We'll go
around the horn, starting at Baker Matt
671
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:40.639
Henry Vantam will end with me.
I would say, simply put is it
672
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:45.199
would be something we can duplicate.
It's if you've got hair evidence or you've
673
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:51.159
got footprint evidence, we can duplicate
it in the same area. Then I
674
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:54.800
would take that over a body.
Matt. I concur with that. I
675
00:54:55.039 --> 00:55:01.199
I agree, if you have something
that you could be I think that would
676
00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:07.840
satisfy the scientific community. I think
that what people are looking for is they're
677
00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:14.039
looking for that, you know,
for that super clear picture. And again
678
00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:16.199
I know there's people out there that
you know, they're turning in. They're
679
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:20.280
not going out there with their guns
anymore. They're going out with the telephoto
680
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:23.840
lenses and hiding in the bush trying
to get a photo. It's going to
681
00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:32.639
be that photo with prints, with
the ability to take research researchers from whether
682
00:55:32.679 --> 00:55:37.760
from a university or you know,
government to that area so they can get
683
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:46.159
eyes on the creature as well well. I think if you're looking for evidence,
684
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:52.719
evidence of footprints, evidence of hair, fecal manner, if you're looking
685
00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:59.559
for proof, definitely a body for
sure, besides the body or henry or
686
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:04.079
a piece of a body. Okay, he's saying a hand, a foot,
687
00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:07.719
a leg, the head, but
he's saying like fecal matter for instance,
688
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:12.440
like I have. I was walking
through my land yesterday. I had
689
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:15.320
no deer tracks, but I could
see little pellets everywhere, so I know
690
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:16.960
they were there. Now when I
checked my camera, there's a good chance
691
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:22.880
I'm going to see ten or twenty
deer because I know that that's an area
692
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:24.800
I'm in every week. And there
was a poop there last week, so
693
00:56:24.840 --> 00:56:30.840
there had there been an animal.
Now I can't until I don't need to
694
00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:36.679
find a dead deer to prove it. I just need to prove other collaborating
695
00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:38.840
evidence to say, yes, there
was something here. Yeah, but we
696
00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:45.679
know deer exist because we have bodies
and photos and exactly and someday maybe you
697
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:54.840
know vance you know, with with
all the plethora of evidence that is required
698
00:56:54.880 --> 00:57:00.400
to prove that this creature is real, if we found a berry site where
699
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:08.840
there's a full skeleton, some hair, bones, dental features, I think
700
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:13.360
that's what it's going to take.
I think it's gonna take more than just
701
00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:20.320
one item to prove that this is
in existence. I think it's gonna take
702
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:28.599
an entire skeletal remain in order to
prove the existence. Because while we have
703
00:57:28.679 --> 00:57:32.480
a hair here and it's primate,
but we can't describe it anymore. We
704
00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:37.400
have dental here, but we can't
prove any more than what it is.
705
00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:43.800
We have bones here. But if
you put it all together into one collaborative
706
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:49.679
package altogether, I think that's what
it's going to take. And you know,
707
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:53.840
we talked about this on a show
a couple episodes ago. What do
708
00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:58.079
they do with they're dead? Do
they bury their dead? And if the
709
00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:04.280
dead is buried, all that evidence
is going to be in one collaborative area
710
00:58:05.360 --> 00:58:09.679
and we may be able to decipher
that from you. National geographic quality video
711
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:16.000
evidence from multiple angles I think is
the only other acceptable thing we'd find that
712
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:21.800
could give validity because when you have
it from multiple angles and multiple vantage points
713
00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:27.679
and more than just ten seconds of
fleeting footage, it tells a different story.
714
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:30.320
Right, you would accept that from
gorillas even if before gorillas existed,
715
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:34.800
I think we would accept that.
They accepted that from the billiap at first,
716
00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:38.199
remember, oh yes, you caught
on footage. So I think when
717
00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:44.159
you have quality evidence or quality footage, that becomes a lot different because we
718
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:49.480
haven't had anything like that at all
that we know of. You know,
719
00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:52.199
when I've talked to Cliff Barrettman who
Cliff said he's seen things out there that
720
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:55.039
other people have it because some people
just don't want to put it out there
721
00:58:55.679 --> 00:59:02.320
and think about that everybody's motiva by
fame or fortune or whatnot. Some people
722
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:07.320
really do have a distinct moral compass
that says, hey, you know what
723
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:12.079
what we would do to this entity
creature being? Would be far worse by
724
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:19.920
acknowledging its existence than by just pretending
it doesn't exist in general. And so
725
00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:23.360
you know, there you have it. I think that would be the next
726
00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:30.480
acceptable thing, something that couldn't be
replicated with a costume or AI. And
727
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:36.119
you know it's not that hard.
You know, no matter how good Hollywood
728
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:43.119
gets, AI looks like AI,
it still looks computer generated. And becouple
729
00:59:43.199 --> 00:59:47.679
that with some poop and then evidence
starts stacking up. Folks, you've been
730
00:59:47.719 --> 00:59:52.239

733
01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:05.719
a lot cheaper than a cup of
coffee. It helps us pay the bills.
