00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:05.599
The views and opinions expressed by the
guests of Sasquatch Experience do not necessarily reflect

2
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:09.759
the opinion of the host, sponsors, or affiliates of the Sasquatch Experience.

3
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:19.600
As always, listener discretion is advised. We got someone or something flowing around

4
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:28.320
out here? Does a legend walk
among us working in the forests of our

5
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:34.840
world? Did you see what it
was? Well? Did a person or

6
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.799
an animal? Or I can't go. All I know is that my thunder

7
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.960
light came on and I did that
a to glen and see the thing running

8
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.439
across the yard, A good fight
man or something. It looks like a

9
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:52.520
man. I don't know what it
was. For over fifteen years, we've

10
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:58.240
talked with scientists, researchers, investigators, and witnesses trying to gain insight and

11
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:06.359
truth around the distance of this mysterious
entity. Jesus quite big, Karl,

12
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.040
Hello, get somebody out here.
What's going to announce there? That's got

13
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.079
a mention about sextbook? I don't
know, easy announce there? Yeah,

14
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:21.719
I'm working right away. Oh,
okay, hand on is your yarn?

15
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.959
Yeah? Got you're bigger? Okay, what's he doing in your yard?

16
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:38.159
We're gonna move. You join us
as we continue into the investigation of the

17
00:01:38.200 --> 00:02:02.560
Sasquatch Experience. Well, guys,
everyone, welcome to the Sasquatch Experience for

18
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.000
Monday, January fifteenth, twenty twenty
four, Martin Luther King Day, as

19
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:13.680
we celebrate this sort of solemn day
and remembrance and appreciation. But guys,

20
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.280
it is great to be here to
talk about our favorite subject, of course,

21
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:22.639
Sasquatch as we know it. We
got a very interesting show tonight here.

22
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.919
Van's kind of came up with this
one called The Big Distraction, And

23
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.960
after the little bit of housekeeping,
we'll throw it over to Vance and we'll

24
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.759
get started. Folks. I'm Sean
the Fort Choppforker. Over to my left

25
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.879
is James Baker, Vance, Nesbitt, Matt Arner, and Henry May.

26
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.159
Of course we're all labeled, because
well we should be labeled. So yeah,

27
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.240
folks who may be joining us for
the first time, know who the

28
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.319
hell we are if you're not just
familiar with our voice. But we've been

29
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.240
on a role here. We had
who did we have on last night?

30
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.960
Eli Watson last week talking about Bigfoot
the Road to Discovery. That was a

31
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.360
great episode, well received, folks
still talking about that one. And of

32
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.520
course if you listening in, we
all sound pretty pretty damn good tonight.

33
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.919
Some upgrades and improvements made the show
to make us sound better, lots of

34
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.919
things to be happy about, some
real good shit that has been in the

35
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.360
works. Guys, welcome tonight.
What's on your mind? We'll start with

36
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:19.000
Baker go around the horn, and
then we'll get going. Well by you.

37
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.840
But this cold is just getting a
little bit too much for me.

38
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.400
But it is January, so I
expected it. Yeah, all right,

39
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.360
I ran out of allergy pills,
so I'm just kind of dealing with other

40
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:38.400
medication. Yeah. Well, well, drinking problems away, bag. Yeah,

41
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.879
it is cold, that's for sure. Vance. How are you doing.

42
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.560
Hey, I was up at three
point thirty this morning to prepare myself

43
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:53.360
for my full time job, and
it was minus fifteen degrees. I'm like,

44
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.039
well, thank you, and my
car started right up and I'm like,

45
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.520
wow, that's even a bigger thank
you. So yeah, it's been

46
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.439
a miserably brutal cold, but we'll
get through this. We've got a week

47
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:11.400
of this and then it should break
and we'll get out of the climate change,

48
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.560
you know, global warming. We'll
get out of that whole sphere.

49
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.680
Well, we got you back to
normality again. We got you to work

50
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.879
this weekend doing some behind the scenes
stuff for the show, so it was

51
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.439
quite busy. Henry, How are
you surviving down there in the Mississippi state.

52
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.759
Oh, we're getting along. We're
getting along, although traffic is a

53
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.360
little slow on the roads now,
as much traffic as we usually get because

54
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.800
of the ice being on the roads. But did you get the ice?

55
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.240
Did you get the ice out?
Was it still a block from nineteen ninety

56
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:54.879
four? No? Poor Henry,
Poor Henry, and Matt my friend,

57
00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:00.560
how are you? Yes, sir, I'm doing pretty good today. Again,

58
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.959
we do have the cold here.
We have more snow coming tonight,

59
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.319
so we're it's gonna hit us.
I think a little heavier on this side.

60
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.800
So yeah, I'm looking forward to
I love the snow. I'm I'm

61
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.519
one of those rare people. I
mean, you know, the cold weather,

62
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.800
the you know, the snow.
The only thing I could get get

63
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:28.360
away from is the ice. But
other than that, everything else is like

64
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.120
winter Wonderland. My wife doesn't really
particularly care for that. She's more of,

65
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.360
hey, let's go down south.
Me on the other hand, I'd

66
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:41.839
rather be you know, up out
in the mountains or skiing or snowboarding or

67
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.800
something. You know. So,
uh so this is my time of year.

68
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.480
Well it's good for footprints. So
we'll see you have any wintertime reports

69
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.399
coming in from the Keystone State or
even out where everybody else is at.

70
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.920
We know, we got Henry there
in Mississippi. You know, we've got

71
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.839
We've just got people all out and
about Guys, Vance and Illinois. So

72
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.319
when we bring this show to you
every week, just keep in mind we're

73
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:11.959
bringing everybody continentally into this for you
know, a different kind of conversation.

74
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.720
But Guys is a great show with
Eli last week. I can't thank you

75
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.879
enough. Folks, go back and
take a look at that. Our website's

76
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.720
been updated, so folks can go
and check out every episode we have.

77
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:25.199
If you go and click on the
show title, launch the Players so you

78
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.959
can go listen to that episode.
That was a lot of work, but

79
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.319
I got that up for everybody as
well. Enough about this crap, let's

80
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.120
talk about the meats of potatoes.
Well, everyone, while everyone's here tonight,

81
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.879
not that I can talk. You
came to a podcast expecting an articulate

82
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:43.360
host and you got me, So
I apologize for that. But I guess

83
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.959
one more thing. You can support
the Sasquatch Experience, gentlemen for how much?

84
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:55.360
Oh, I think at two dollars
two dollars a month and get access

85
00:06:55.399 --> 00:07:00.360
to mostly ad free shows and some
other cool things that we have STD in

86
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:01.600
there and more coming. I know
I say that all the time, but

87
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.839
we're always working on something, so
it's worth the while. And for two

88
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.879
bucks, you know, that's not
a whole hell whole lot, So just

89
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.079
put the bitchin and start dishing out
the dough, the dough. We want

90
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.639
the money, folks. We're not
in it for the money. Yeah,

91
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.639
but it's for show production. It
doesn't go into our pockets to go,

92
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:21.000
you know, to the local you
know, Walmart Bike. No, No,

93
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.439
this goes back into show production.
So right, all of it.

94
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.879
We get two dollars or we start
doing the show naked. Oh god,

95
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:39.519
that a big bag of nopes.
And of course report and encounter experience.

96
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.439
Oh there we go. That's that's
all. And of course you can report

97
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:51.199
your sighting or encounter info at Sasquatch
Experience dot com. Vance Episode ninety one

98
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.279
tonight, the big distraction. Let's
talk about what's on your mind. You

99
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.000
put this show together, you threw
me the concept. I thought it was

100
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.759
great and said, what the hell, let's run. Well. Look,

101
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.680
you know, some weeks back,
I did the news segment and I would

102
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.000
throw in the new segment the big
Distraction for the Bigfoot Bullhorn. And the

103
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:18.959
reason why I did that is because
currently geo politically, things are so upside

104
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.040
down. I mean, there's so
much going on around the world in our

105
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:30.759
own country, and I know a
lot of people are very concerned and upset

106
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.919
and have stress issues over this,
and you know, I wanted to call

107
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.159
that the big distraction on the big
Foot bullhorn. So I figured, you

108
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:48.720
know, geopolitically, they throw something
shiny over here and say, oh,

109
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.200
take a look at this. Here's
a UFO report, take a look at

110
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:58.720
this. There's been ten foot aliens
seen in Miami at a shopping mall to

111
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:09.279
distract from what's going on nefariously in
the political world. So my whole thought

112
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.360
was, you know, we need
to turn the tables on that and call

113
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:18.519
this the big distraction and to go
back to Bigfoot, and let's use Bigfoot

114
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:26.519
as our personal big distraction to get
away from the insanity that's going on around

115
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.320
us, and give you a peace
of mind and spend some time listening to

116
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:39.879
conversations about Bigfoot, Listen to conversations
that regard evidence that has come forth,

117
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:48.080
and we can combat against all this
insanity that's going on around us. So

118
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.679
I did come up with the term
the big distraction at the Bigfoot bullhorn on

119
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.559
the news segment. And let's see
where it goes, because you know,

120
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.879
there's options out there for us us
to be able to take a look.

121
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:09.279
If you're new into the whole sess
squatchery world, let's take a look at

122
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.320
it and see, well, what's
this all about. Oh hey, there's

123
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.480
a conference that's going on in a
local region of mine. Let's get out,

124
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.960
let's get our hiking sticks, let's
take a walk in the woods.

125
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.559
Let's see what's out there. Not
that you're going out there to take a

126
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:30.320
look for Bigfoot, but to get
away from the insanity that's going on currently

127
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:37.039
in the politics of our world right
now. And that's one wonderful way to

128
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.000
fight back against this. And it's
good for mental health reasons. And you

129
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:48.919
can sit with like minded people at
conferences, you can see things for yourself.

130
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.679
You may even discover some evidence out
there that you may not know what

131
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.399
to do with, but you can
collect that evidence and bring it to the

132
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:05.600
Sasquad experience or to any venue that's
in the Bigfoot community, because we're not

133
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.039
just going to limit it to us, We're not selfish that way. But

134
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:18.200
let's bring that information forward and distract
ourselves from what's going on. And that

135
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:26.080
totally reverses the psychology of what's going
on right now, because again, oh

136
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.200
hey, there's been ten foot aliens
like I brought up earlier walking around at

137
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.960
the Miami Mall, and there was
you know, it was a sound.

138
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:43.000
Yeah. I think it was a
total distraction from craziness that's going on politically.

139
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:52.480
Let's step away from that. Let's
get back to some grassroots ideas of

140
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.559
look, there's things that exist,
let's take a look at those, and

141
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.120
it'll certainly help us feel a hull
of a lot better in the long run

142
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:09.399
for mental health reasons, especially if
you get out even though excuse me,

143
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:20.360
yeah I did. Oh that's I
muted him to sell you all well,

144
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.559
so so so I'll kind of take
from there. Me and Sean can kind

145
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.200
of give you an idea, and
Matt can. Ever, since I've gotten

146
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.480
that little piece of land, my
whole idea of what goes on in our

147
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.399
world is a lot bigger because like
a lot of times we talk theories about,

148
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.320
hey, how could this creature exist? And how could this exist?

149
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.519
And how could nobody ever notice?
And like I'm digging a hole to put

150
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:52.039
in a pond and there's a dace
standing behind me. You know what,

151
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.279
he's there ten minutes before I noticed
him. He chose to let me notice

152
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.200
it. You know, you hear
you, You can hear where noises come

153
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.039
from. There's not that extra distractionary
things and things like that that that you

154
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:11.279
know, hour out there just kind
of breathing good air and thinking opens up

155
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.039
a lot. Maybe we need to
do more of that, Maybe not in

156
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.320
this fricking cold, but you know, well, I agree with you both

157
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:22.519
on the points you're making. You
know, we do need to be out

158
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.120
more, We do need to explore
all this, and and I think at

159
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.639
times we do take it for granted
that there is this you know, wonderful,

160
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.360
wondrous natural world around us that we
just drive through every day. And

161
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.279
I can tell you that sometimes I'm
even taking a back as I go on

162
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.559
my backroach travels. You know,
I'm drifting off when I'm supposed to be

163
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.039
paying attention as I'm looking at the
woods going, I wonder what the hell's

164
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.279
in there? And sometimes I just
want to stop and get out and just

165
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.279
you know, frolic through the woodlands
and so. But you know, that's

166
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.279
that's an everyday temptation that we have. And it is a good distraction,

167
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.240
now, you know, Matt and
I I think, And Matt, I'll

168
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.679
let you go here in a minute
to give you an opportunity to jump in.

169
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.120
But you and I kind of took
this from an opposite perspective, right,

170
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.639
yes, But as much as it
is a positive distraction, there are

171
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:20.120
some folks that use it for you
know, maybe an unintentional distraction as well.

172
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.360
And Matt, I'll go ahead and
let you talk before we jump down

173
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.799
that rabbit hole. Sure, I
mean, you know, just briefly,

174
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:35.000
and I really we really don't want
to make this, you know, too

175
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.679
much of an argument on one side
versus the other. But man, I'll

176
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:45.639
tell you there's some there's some stories
that go out there that I've heard,

177
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.720
you know that that I'm sure all
of you have heard that, you know,

178
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.399
I just sit there and I'm like, okay, this, this didn't

179
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.200
happen, you know, But we
do have we do have some people out

180
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:05.399
there that, you know, for
for different reasons. You know, they

181
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.320
they may see that that you know, they've had an experience in the woods

182
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:16.679
and you know it was something that
was just too incredible. But again,

183
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:22.000
you know, for for being more
rounded researchers, where we just kind of

184
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:28.759
you know, sit there and the
possibility of that happening is you know nil,

185
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:35.480
you know, And I've heard some
really really good stories. In particular,

186
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.399
probably one of the best ones was
there was a group of the coldest

187
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:48.440
that were in the in the section
of the pine bearers and they were doing

188
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:54.879
their thing and apparently a sasquatch came
out and started dancing with them. So

189
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.960
something like that, I'm just like, well, you know it. But

190
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:06.200
again, there's there's different reasons why
why people will will have this, whether

191
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.159
it's something that's organic or if it's
something that isn't quite so organic where they

192
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.960
where. It may be somebody looking
for attention, or it may be somebody

193
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:23.000
that you know, maybe makes that
misidentification but but really wants it to be

194
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:30.600
what it is. Sorry for jumping
down the rabbit hole. No, but

195
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.440
you know what, you bring up
a really good point, they're matt that

196
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:42.279
ties into the big distraction. You
have this experience that takes away everything else

197
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.559
off the sides, off the right
and the left side of you, and

198
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:52.960
now you're focused this particular event that
happened to you. That is the big

199
00:16:53.000 --> 00:17:00.039
distraction. Absolutely, absolutely, And
and I'll tell you when you you there's

200
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.039
things that happen to you psychologically when
you do have some sort of experience or

201
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:10.240
some sort of sighting. I've had
it myself. I'm trained, you know,

202
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:17.079
to to not have tunnel vision,
and when I had my experience in

203
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.200
the LA National Force, I caught
myself having tunnel vision at the time.

204
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:29.359
And so there's things that again,
somebody that that may have some sort of

205
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:36.400
experience, whether it it's something that's
encrypted or or otherwise. Again, your

206
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.480
mind is working at a different level
than it than it would when you're just

207
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.319
walking down the path, you know, looking for birds or or animals.

208
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.519
You know, when you have something
like that happen again, you're going to

209
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:53.000
get that. You know, you're
you're going to center in on what that

210
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:57.200
is and you're gonna you can have
anything going on around you, and you're

211
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:03.160
you're not going to allow that to
distract you at all, you know what,

212
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:08.839
which kind of with your you know, with your discussion. What I

213
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.440
think is really interesting, Matt is
as you know, you talk about some

214
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.759
of those folks who you know,
jump down that rabbit hole and really become

215
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.519
you know, caught up in their
own I don't want to say illusion,

216
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:26.839
but their own whatever they've manifestation,
right, you know, we there are

217
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:32.079
things, and I firmly believe that
there are zoo forms and thought forms that

218
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:36.839
some of these things people experience the
experience because they just merely, you know,

219
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:42.640
simply want to and somehow that manifests
itself in some sort of psychological simulation.

220
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:45.440
And I'm not saying that happens for
everybody. And that's the case for

221
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.240
every bigfoot encounter. I had an
encounter, you had an encounter. I

222
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.880
can damn well guarantee you what I
experienced wasn't no zoo form or thought for

223
00:18:53.000 --> 00:19:02.640
them. But there are some folks
who I I truly feel, want it

224
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.519
so bad that they do manifest it, you know, for themselves, either

225
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:11.079
by choice or you know, perhaps
it's some sort of mania that they have

226
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.680
to deal with. Let's go back. You know gentlemen who I think wanted

227
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.640
to experience Bigfoot more than anybody.
They're four horsemen, right, we go

228
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:25.559
back, how many of them had
a sighting? Mm hmm yeah, and

229
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:29.519
who wanted it more than them at
that point in time? Right? And

230
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.039
you know, we could say for
some of those guys, this was a

231
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.000
borderline obsession. You know, look
how much time Green spent with it,

232
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.480
Renade to Hinden I think Renade to
Hindon probably out of all of them.

233
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:45.079
And my my estimation was the most
obsessed and dedicated in terms of his research.

234
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.480
I mean, the man I did
a camper on a you know,

235
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:56.960
you know, collecting shells to you
know, meddle to survive, sacrificing his

236
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.880
marriage, you know, in his
relationship. Yeah, it was just completely

237
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:07.440
destroyed by his obsession. So you
talk about this big distraction Vans this big

238
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.960
distraction, man, that's a very
I want to say, a wide statement

239
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.720
that categorically could fit many different people
in many different ways. And if we

240
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.240
go back through Bigfoot history, like
I said, we see how this big

241
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.559
distraction really cost people a lot.
Sure, it's cost people some jobs.

242
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.359
I'm sure it's cost people, some
families, I mean, not even just

243
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.440
the four Horsemen. I'm sure I
could go with my own personal life and

244
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.640
tell you that, you know,
when I came out as a public bigfoot

245
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.920
person, the ridicule and the joking
around you take, Matt, you and

246
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.279
law enforcement. I'm sure you try
to keep it as low key as possible,

247
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.440
right I do. Yeah, you
don't want to deal with the you

248
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:49.759
know, constant barad ridicule, right, the ridicule that you deal with.

249
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:56.880
So I mean, this distraction for
some hobby for others could really be be

250
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.440
costly. And I'll go ahead and
let one of you guys talk because I'm

251
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.759
filibust and right now, go ahead, Henry, come on, let's hear

252
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:08.839
from Henry. Well, you know, the day when we talk about the

253
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:18.480
big distraction, I think that we
should realize that family always comes first before

254
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.680
big footing. I mean Renee.
Renee obviously didn't hold to that, but

255
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:30.079
hey, he became one of the
greatest sasquatch researchers of all time. You

256
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.519
though, you're actually had a sign. Sure now, Henry, you know

257
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.440
that's a good point that you're making. Guys. You know what we'll talk

258
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:42.680
about that because it's on the topic. Do you think having a sighting hurts

259
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.160
or helps your research. I've got
a strong opinion on this, but I

260
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.039
want to hear from you guys first. Well, I have never had a

261
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.000
sighting, and I'll be honest with
you. The only reason that I really

262
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.799
got interest it was is because Sean
you were and it was something that interests

263
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.480
me. Now, Bigfoot wasn't a
crypto of my choice. I'm a nessy

264
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:11.160
guy and Mothman just because of the
timing on those and that there to me,

265
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.720
there's a lot of critical evidence.
It's plausible on one way of it

266
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.519
being a creature, in another way
being something completely different. But as far

267
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:23.920
as the Bigfoot community is, the
community made me care more about it because

268
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:32.759
there's a lot of really smart people
that believe in something and they have a

269
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.759
lot of positive, good ideas about
it. Like you know, you know,

270
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.799
Maldrium isn't an idiot. One of
my favorites is Lauren Coleman. Coleman

271
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.920
isn't an idiot. If Coleman when
when when they said about NeSSI maybe being

272
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.359
eels and Coleman did the research,
I believed it because he took the time

273
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.920
to do it, and he wasn't
one of those people that would just spit

274
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.680
out a thing because everybody else is
doing it. Shown's the same way.

275
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:00.519
I mean, like we had that
Bigfoot cooler citing, you know, and

276
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.240
we kind of like I one and
ten percent thought it was crap, but

277
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.599
I was like, I was waiting
to hear from him because it was like

278
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:10.839
and then we both kind of said, yeah, this is just bs.

279
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:15.839
But like the videos and the things
I see, like a lot of those

280
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.480
make me depressed because I think that
we're smarter than this and we're better than

281
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:23.559
this. But at the same time, I like that people are out there

282
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:30.160
looking and taking the time to enjoy
the wilderness. And by Bigfoot in the

283
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.200
Cooler, you're talking about the Georgia
Bigfoot hoaks. Yea, And yeah,

284
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.000
I think you know, people really
need to catch up on their history about

285
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.200
some of these things. And we'll
go ahead, we'll continue on down that.

286
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:42.839
Just wanted to give a reference point
to the Bigfoot in the Cooler.

287
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:48.200
Comment answer your thought on that,
does having a sighting help or hinder your

288
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:56.599
research? Well, I was never
into the Bigfoot thing whatsoever. I saw

289
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:03.480
the Patterson Gimlin film when I was
a kid, and I was freaked out

290
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.960
by it. But I was what
seven years old when I first saw it,

291
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:14.480
and okay, this is a creature
that exists in the Pacific Northwest.

292
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.599
Okay, I'm safe, I'm in
Illinois. But you know, when I

293
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:26.400
had my experience a camping trip with
my oldest brother New Year's nineteen ninety nine

294
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.960
going into two thousand and of course
Y two K was supposed to wipe the

295
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:37.119
entire planet out. We had a
bizarre experience. I never put two and

296
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:42.400
two together that it was maybe a
bigfoot. I had no idea. All

297
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:51.039
I knew is it seemed like a
dinosaur was tramping through the woods, chasing

298
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:56.240
a dog and a herd of deer
out of the woodline. And then we

299
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:02.039
had pine cones thrown at us.
I knew not about any of this stuff.

300
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:08.200
I just found it completely out of
this world and completely bizarre. It

301
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:17.240
wasn't until what maybe ten years after
that event happened that I'm hearing just by

302
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:25.640
happenstance experiences of people having rocks thrown
at them, having grunts being chased out

303
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:30.559
of the woods, but yet not
being able to see what's in the woodline,

304
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.799
that's chasing them out of the woods. And I start putting two and

305
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.680
two together. I'm like, well, maybe this is what happened. And

306
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.920
then all of a sudden, the
sinkhole opened up and I fell into it,

307
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:51.200
And now I want to know that's
what I got, Matt, go

308
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:59.759
ahead. You know, I came
into it with this pre disposition of what

309
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:06.279
a a sighting or encounter was,
you know, because we're fed it through

310
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:08.960
you know, back in our day
we didn't have the social media, so

311
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:15.839
we had TV like Unknown Mysteries and
you know, all those shows. So

312
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:22.880
yeah, it was always the very
overly dramatic encounter or sighting. And really,

313
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:27.720
I mean the things that that we've
had happened in the woods, you

314
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.519
know, may not have led to
you know, personally, have not led

315
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:38.599
to that over over dramatization. You
know, there was no you know,

316
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:42.920
ten foot hearing man standing ten yards
in front of me, you know,

317
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.319
shaking shaking a stick or a tree. It was, you know, we

318
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:51.880
had the incident with the tree that
was shaking. We had vocalizations at certain

319
00:26:51.920 --> 00:27:00.880
times, but whether it really hinders
helps her hinders someone, I don't know,

320
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.400
you know, it Like I always
think back to one of the people

321
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:11.799
I think of as a mentor is
like doctor Russ Jones, and the one

322
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.920
he doesn't even really call an encounter. He said he was out walking,

323
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:22.640
walking his dog off trail and he
sees, you know, a guy hiking

324
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.400
down, you know, towards the
hollow, you know, wearing all black

325
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.200
in the middle of the summertime.
You know, well to him when he

326
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.680
initially made that initial look at it, you know, he didn't think because

327
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.039
probably in our minds, we're thinking
that it's going to be this you know,

328
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:44.160
big Harry Beast and you know,
crossing the road in the middle of

329
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:49.400
the night, and it could be
something as subtle as just you know,

330
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:53.519
something you know crossing through the woods
that you may think is another hiker.

331
00:27:55.960 --> 00:28:00.039
So again, having having that idea
in your that it's going to be this

332
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:07.240
you know, super you know,
made for TV type experience, you know,

333
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:12.880
it really doesn't come out that way. And you know, in the

334
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:18.160
long run, we see that with
the small town Monsters guys too. Between

335
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:23.480
Eli and Alex, you know,
they you know, they talk about,

336
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.759
you know, the different experiences that
they've had, but they really haven't had

337
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:32.720
that you know, that again made
for TV. The thing. But what

338
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:37.480
they've gotten though is great evidence,
right, you know, from them from

339
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:42.519
them doing doing those shows and exposing
the public to not just the bigfoot world,

340
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:48.240
but also to the nature world as
well. We're really important, right,

341
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.920
And you know we talked to Eli
last week. He's never had a

342
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:53.000
sighting yet. He says he can't
wait to get the sound of him taking

343
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:57.440
a crap from it. The audio
from that'll be gold, right, But

344
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:02.920
no, I mean point point where
made Henry your thought on that topic,

345
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.839
and then well I'll give mine and
then we'll take our break. Well,

346
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:15.759
the thing is, I think that
if you have a siding, it might

347
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:25.960
lessen your objectivity a little. You
might not be as objective about signings.

348
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.359
But then again he might be more
skeptical about somebody else's signing too, So

349
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:38.559
you never know, I'm skept all
the time, right. I have to

350
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:45.519
tell you from my own personal experience, it made everything a lot more difficult

351
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:51.640
for me having my objectivity, Like
I questioned myself, was I going to

352
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.759
be able to be impartial and unbiased
moving forward? And then you know,

353
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.559
as I've talked with Matt over the
years, it's also kind of have you

354
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:04.079
know, bolstered my skepticism though,
because I feel that once you've experienced this

355
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:11.759
for yourself, there's this unconscious ability
to kind of peer into the eyes of

356
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:17.319
someone else and be able to gauge
that bullshit barometer and be able to see

357
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.599
who really experienced something and who's making
it up. I don't know what it

358
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:23.960
is. There's a connection. I
could be insane, that's a possibility,

359
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:29.279
but it's just different. But I
struggled with that for a very long time.

360
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:33.240
I almost left the field in general
after my sighting because it was very

361
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:37.880
impactful to me, and that impact
was, you know, how do I

362
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.400
reconcile being able to have this experience
and now being able to be objective anymore?

363
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:44.799
So, you know Henry's point,
he hit it right on the nose.

364
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.519
With my thoughts, it does make
it a lot harder, and I

365
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.599
think you have to be very careful
because you want to really believe people after

366
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:57.759
that, and it's not always a
you know, comfortable position to be in.

367
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:00.759
So really good job on that.
I think you hit it right on

368
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.839
the nose. You kind of took
the words out of my mouth in a

369
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.720
more simple way, and guys,
on that bro No, on that note,

370
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.400
we got us take our breaks and
we'll be right back. I can't

Thank you too, Steam a symbol. Hello, I'm Fass and you may

392
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:25.480
know men. We hear a big
foot call. Anything you do a big

393
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:29.759
foot call. They make all kinds
of calls, but I just see this

394
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:31.319
one. We think it's like an
adult male call, like long like when

395
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:50.279
they're looking for each other a long
distance, but it goes like ah h

396
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:55.160
Yes. James Bobo Face on the
Conan O'Brien show, not to be confused

397
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.839
with James Yo Yo Baker, who
can make that kind of noise stepping into

398
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:07.679
a thornbush barefoot. Welcome to this
edition of the Bigfoot Bullhorn exclusively on the

399
00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:15.880
Sasquatch experience and to kick things off
us here at the Sasquatch experience do take

400
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:20.719
points of view from all different angles
regarding the subject. And there is a

401
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:27.800
magazine called Northwest Sportsman and the article
is written by Andy Wallgammut, and the

402
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:32.760
article reads as follows, rest in
peace Bigfoot. This magazine declares, the

403
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:40.599
legendary Northwest forest critter is dead.
Call off the hunt. Bigfoot is dead

404
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.519
and it's time to move on and
subtle other mysteries. So declares a magazine

405
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:53.119
in its January February twenty twenty four
issue, What's More Skeptical Inquirer, which

406
00:34:53.199 --> 00:35:01.280
touts itself as dedicated to science and
reason, goes full ba humbug in stating

407
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:07.559
that it is clear there's no evidence
the creature ever existed in the first place.

408
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:13.679
Then why did start the article by
saying rest and peace Bigfoot? Hmm?

409
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.199
The critter is dead? Well,
the only way it could be dead

410
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:22.320
is if it existed. There are
article claims that most sightings of the legendary

411
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.960
biped that is haunted more than a
few of the Northwest campfires over the decades

412
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:31.559
are actually just regular criters that have
been misidentified, and others were just flat

413
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:37.599
out hoaxes. They say that while
there's a small portion of reports that can't

414
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.480
easily be written off, given all
the way these errors can be made in

415
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:47.639
collecting purported evidence, such as bad
data, flawed methological assumptions, mistaken identification,

416
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:52.800
poor recall, hoaxing, etc.
There's neither has to be nor It

417
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:58.119
is likely that the world Hide and
Seek champion is yet to be found,

418
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:04.920
lurking amid the unsociet stained and ambiguous
cases. Instead, the most likely reason

419
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:09.000
for the failure to find Bigfoot is
that the creature simply does not exist,

420
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:15.519
and that the apparent evidence for them
rests mostly on mistakes, hoaxes, and

421
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:22.239
wishful thinking. What a killed joy. Bigfoot is beloved regional lore and is

422
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:30.840
obituary may not sit well with Great
Northwesterners in the cottage industry, stickers,

423
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:37.000
magnet's T shirts, even a Nativity
scene with Bigfoot which was seen was built

424
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:42.400
around him as a unique cultural phenomena
as it matures. He goes on to

425
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:47.360
state higher education ruined me, and
years later, after writing a pretty skeptical

426
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:53.480
article in my hometown's weekly newspaper about
a Bigfoot buff who on one hand was

427
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:59.960
hell bent on debunking the Patterson Gimlin
film and on the other hand was professor.

428
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:05.360
His own evidence was pretty legit.
I heard about it from another uncle

429
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:12.320
and cousin who are pretty positive Bigfoot
roam the Hinderlens and that science doesn't know

430
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:16.880
every damn thing there is to know. When we come back, we're going

431
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:25.119
to continue pounding information into your head. Of February first, you're listening to

432
00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:37.599
the big football hoorn right here on
the Sasquatch experience. Do you have feelings

433
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:42.159
of inadequacy? Do you suffer from
shyness? Do you sometimes wish you were

434
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.360
more assertive? If you answered yes
to any of these questions, ask your

435
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:52.159
doctor or pharmacist about tequila. Tequila
is the safe, natural way to feel

436
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.840
better and more confident about yourself and
your actions. Tequila can help ease you

437
00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:00.320
out of your shyness and let you
tell the world that you're ready and willing

438
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:05.039
to do just about anything. You'll
notice the benefits of tequila almost immediately,

439
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:08.559
and with a regiment of regular doses, you can overcome any obstacles that prevent

440
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:13.480
you from living the life you want
to live. Shyness and awkwardness will be

441
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:16.559
a thing of the past, and
you'll discover many talents you never knew you

442
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:22.760
had. Stop hiding and start living
with tequila. Tequila may not be right

443
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:24.800
for everyone. Women who are pregnant
or nursing should not use tequila. However,

444
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:28.639
women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming
pregnant are encouraged to try, and

445
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.519
side effects may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lustfulness,

446
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:35.079
loss of motor control, loss of
clothing, lots of money, loss of

447
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:37.679
virginity, delusions of grand are table
dancing, headache, dehydration, drime out,

448
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:40.320
and a desire to see karaoke and
play all night round of strip pok

449
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:44.440
or through their dare and naked Twister. Warning. The consumption of alcohol may

450
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.159
make you think you're whispering when you're
not. It's a major factor in dancing

451
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:49.679
like a retard. May cause you
to tell your friends over and over again

452
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:51.840
that you're in love with them.
Also may cause you to think you can

453
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:53.880
sing. Alcohol may lead to believe
that ex lovers are really dying for you

454
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:57.400
to telephone them at four in the
morning. Alcohol may make you think you

455
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:00.679
can logically converse with members of the
opposite sex without spinning. It may create

456
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:02.519
the illusion that you are tougher,
smarter, faster, and better looking than

457
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:06.119
most people, and it may lead
you to think people are laughing with you.

458
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:08.119
Alcohol may cause pregnancy, and it
also may be a major factor in

459
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:12.800
getting your ass kicked. So what
are you waiting for? Stop hiding and

460
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:37.239
start living with tequila small Town Monsters. Join them on February first, twenty

Thanks again for listening to this edition of

469
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:30.679
The Bigfoot Bullhorn exclusively a Sasquatch experience, and as always, everybody, keep

470
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:52.000
your toe in the mind. We're
back and alive. So that's a good

471
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:54.679
thing. A little bit of a
longer break there, But what do you

472
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:59.960
do? Was necessary? Right,
folks, you've turned back it, You've

473
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.519
tune back into the sasquatch experience,
Sean Forker, James Baker Vance has but

474
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:06.360
Henry May and Matt Arner, guys, before we took a break, we

475
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:10.480
were talking about this big distraction and
we were talking about, you know,

476
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:17.800
does having a citing really change your
objectivity or helper hinder your investigative techniques?

477
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:24.199
Vance, let's go more into this, shall we. Sure? I would

478
00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:32.639
say that whether you do have an
experience, whether you can confirm it as

479
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:39.840
a bigfoot or not, it still
would draw you in to want answers.

480
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:44.960
And I think answers is a big
thing. Look, you know, ninety

481
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:51.960
nine point nine percent of the entire
subsquatch ery community wants answers. And so

482
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:57.079
you have an experience, whether you've
seen something or just heard something or had

483
00:41:57.119 --> 00:42:01.159
an experience, you're gonna want to
be able to dive in a little bit

484
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:07.159
more as to what just happened.
And I'm leaving the word hell out of

485
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:09.639
it. You know, you know
what just happened, and you're going to

486
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:16.239
want to have some sort of tangible
evidence to say, well, maybe this

487
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:23.079
is a real thing, and then
you present that to the community, and

488
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:30.880
then the community takes that as a
distraction. You know, look at how

489
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:37.119
many videos we see. Is this
a real video or is there something manipulated

490
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:44.840
with it that made it a distraction
of some sort and it's a hoax?

491
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:52.199
Or is this reality? And it
drives you down that entire pathway for a

492
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:59.719
very long time to try to come
to some conclusive answers. Well, I

493
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:02.360
think that no matter how good this
AI is getting, it still looks fake.

494
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.079
I mean, look at Hollywood,
Nozilla and King Kong still look fake

495
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:13.280
as hell, right, And I
think AI is not going to be getting

496
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:15.719
in that position where it's going to
fool anybody with two bits between their brains,

497
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:20.559
right between their ears and their brain. Where I think we have to

498
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:24.559
be careful. Is you know we
made that we should were sharing videos last

499
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:29.000
night right as we talk quite a
bit if you can't tell, you know,

500
00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:32.719
we do socialize outside this one hour
a week and we're sharing videos and

501
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:36.760
advance. The one thing that kind
of perturbed you is why the hell do

502
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:40.159
all these videos have music in them? And thank you for bringing that up.

503
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:45.159
Right. It's quite simply because they're
reposted videos, right, you know.

504
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:47.199
So what we're getting is we're getting
all these videos that are constantly be

505
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:52.559
reposting and reposting and reposting, and
we don't know the original context upon which

506
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:57.000
they were filmed. So we don't
know the true story behind the picture.

507
00:43:57.079 --> 00:44:00.280
We have to go and we have
to search and search and search and urg

508
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:02.960
right to find the origin for many
of these. Baker, you remember that

509
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:06.360
you got the message from your brother
and said, oh my god, look

510
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:07.840
this was I was gonna I was
gonna state that. And he's like,

511
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:10.320
that was on read, that was
up the road from us. I was

512
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:13.639
like, no, was it?
So I saw that two years ago,

513
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:15.320
you know, and I saw that, you know, and then I saw

514
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:19.760
it six months after that, and
one that's in a it's kind of like

515
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:24.480
whenever you talk about urgent urban legends
and somebody goes, this happened to me

516
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:29.599
in Chicago. No, no,
no, Bloody Mary happened in Louisiana.

517
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:31.559
No, it happened in California.
No, you know what, it didn't

518
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:36.800
happen. Somebody made it up and
then it just kept going, right,

519
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:43.559
You know, there's there's there's so
many there's so many different stories that are

520
00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:49.000
told eventually, and I admit that
I'm just as stupid about that because honestly,

521
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:52.239
like I said, as if Sean
or Lauren Coleman told me aliens came

522
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:55.320
and saw him, I tell people
because I believe it, because I believe

523
00:44:55.360 --> 00:45:00.599
in them, but I also know
that they're smart. Okay. But the

524
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:02.639
problem is is once it got past
me and gets on the mat, and

525
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:07.559
it gets onto Matt's friend and Matt's
friend after that maybe back over to vance

526
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:12.840
Vancey's friend, you stop losing the
core person you believed in, and then

527
00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:15.760
it's just shit, right, you
know, And then then you're starting to

528
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:22.719
tear it apart. The sightings we
see today, I have so much burned

529
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:27.280
in skeptic about compared to we had
to show what was it two three weeks

530
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:30.639
ago? It might have been two. But like we had people seeing this

531
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:35.559
thing in the fifties, sixties,
the forties, those people didn't talk about

532
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:37.920
it. Those people didn't have an
Internet group to know what it looked like.

533
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:44.519
So when three people from across different
states said I saw a hairy thing

534
00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:46.639
that was eight feet tall, that
blah blah blah, had had this and

535
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:51.199
it looked like this, and it
walked like that, I'm more apt to

536
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:55.519
say, yes, there's a good
chance they saw something of the same thing.

537
00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.199
Now, Perker knows a lot of
my escape date theories and things like

538
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:01.719
that, and it might have been
a bear and things like that. But

539
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:06.639
in general, though, I'm more
apt to believe them. If somebody tomorrow

540
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:10.880
shows me a video of bigfoot walking
across what was it that train video where

541
00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:16.119
he's walking across the cliff area,
and then two weeks later some store goes,

542
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:20.119
no, we did that. We
did that to promote our beefsticks or

543
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:24.440
blah blah blah. Yeah, because
you're an agle. Okay, make it

544
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:30.719
that's true. You know, so, like I believe in the older research

545
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:35.639
more than I'm believing the research now, because it's too easy. Like Sean,

546
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:38.679
we've all said a million times we're
spoon feeding. You had to kind

547
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:45.599
of make up a scle Yeah,
right it. We could do it tomorrow.

548
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:47.800
May have worker could go down to
the woods tomorrow. Circles some take

549
00:46:47.880 --> 00:46:52.239
some pictures, circles, circles.
I could get you convinced that it was

550
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:59.079
in my front yard eating right,
you know. And with that said,

551
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:02.079
you know, it is back to
the original comment that I threw to Sean.

552
00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:09.599
It's it's very interesting videos that's being
shared, but I think it's meant

553
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:16.039
to specifically go viral. So let's
put some music in there. Let's put

554
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:21.519
some creepy music in there. Well
I'm sorry, but the creepy music is

555
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:28.079
doubbing out the silence of maybe something
subtle that you can hear in the background

556
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:34.199
because there's music playing. Stop it. If you recorded a video, let

557
00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:39.679
that video just play without any any
enhancement whatsoever added to it, and we

558
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:45.159
can figure it out a little bit
better. And piggyback on that video,

559
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:49.480
the original video from when you were
eating potato salad with Grandma to when you

560
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.280
saw it to when you're shutting yourself
in the woods. I want to see

561
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:58.599
it all, but I want to
see the before. Why you're taking a

562
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:01.559
video, nless you're some petal bear. I almost say shit, okay,

563
00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:06.480
but then, but then I want
to see what's afterwards when you guys are

564
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:09.960
all screaming at each other and there's
no way and saw that that whole video

565
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:15.639
clip added to the video, because
otherwise you cut out the exciting part to

566
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:21.480
screw me over well, you know, and in the devil's in the details,

567
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:22.599
right, So if you're looking at
a video such as the one,

568
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:27.960
you know you're kind of talking about
Jaker Baker in your case, you know

569
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:30.280
you want that after footage. I
think there's nobody that's that good of an

570
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:36.719
actor that can fake that genuine reaction. Even we've we've seen all these you

571
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:39.280
know, crappy b rated Bigfoot movies
or even the good big Foot on movies.

572
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:47.840
It's still acting and you can tell
there's another train coming. It's there.

573
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:50.760
We go. I mute to Jim
c. You can't hear what he's

574
00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:59.920
saying, folks. Probably better for
the public, But as there's just nobo

575
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:05.079
that it's that good at acting that
can fabricate. I truly feel that anybody

576
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:08.119
with good common sense can really narrow
down when someone's acting or not, and

577
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:14.960
you gotta have the whole story.
And to Bag's point and your point,

578
00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:16.960
vance when we got these videos that
we were watching, there's so much of

579
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:21.800
it left out right now. The
one thing I did find compelling in that

580
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:27.280
one particular video is the body language
of the subject kind of fits into the

581
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:31.239
motif of bigfoot behavior that we've come
to know, you know, dodging the

582
00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:37.199
light luminescence from the eyes. Still
pretty compelling, and I'll find a link

583
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:39.480
to it and I'll put it in
the show notes so folks can take a

584
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:44.239
listen or take a look at what
they're listening to. Matt, do you

585
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:49.719
have any thoughts on that AI and
video? Yeah, I mean, the

586
00:49:49.719 --> 00:49:54.679
one thing is is AI is getting
better, but we're also at a point

587
00:49:54.719 --> 00:50:01.320
where there's sinks to look for.
And I'm not gonna disclose on the podcast

588
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:07.159
what to look for, but there's
things that we can find on whether it's

589
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:13.800
AI video or photography that's pretty easy
to pick up if you google it.

590
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:17.920
I'm sure you'll find some open source
information. I'll tell you all about it.

591
00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:23.639
But but yeah, you know,
there's again with the reactions. And

592
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:29.480
that's another thing too, is with
my with my training experience, I've gone

593
00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:36.440
through the body language classes. I've
learned about micro expressions when I see people

594
00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:39.199
talking to me. And the big
thing was when we were when we did

595
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:47.360
the summer conference with Gwen out in
Central Pa, the Central Pa Bigfoot Festival,

596
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:52.679
there was people that were coming up
to us and and you can kind

597
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:55.559
of read them right off the bat. Is this something that you know,

598
00:50:55.599 --> 00:51:01.320
they're just trying to see how you're
going to react to to to it with

599
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:05.719
them telling you a story. But
then there was also other people that came

600
00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:08.159
up to us. There's a there
was a farmer that I spoke with that

601
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:14.000
that wasn't that far from you,
and I was reading his body language.

602
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:17.199
I was reading, you know,
just about everything from his face. And

603
00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:23.440
the guy showed no absolutely no signs
that that he was being deceitful at all.

604
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:29.800
He did show that he was,
you know, maybe a little I

605
00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:34.960
wouldn't stay scared. But he he
went to keep the the encounter private.

606
00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:39.840
So that was one one big thing
because he doesn't want his name out there.

607
00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:44.880
He doesn't want to you know,
be pictured on the news or anything

608
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:47.719
like that. He just came up
to us to tell us what his encounter

609
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:51.480
was. And it was a pretty
good encounter as well, right and he

610
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:55.199
and he hasn't been in contact with
us to investigate either. He hasn't really.

611
00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:00.000
He just really wanted to share that, you know what, Yeah,

612
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:02.639
make off his chest. Yeah,
absolutely, And we provide that out with

613
00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:06.719
and that's okay. I'm fine with
that. But the investigator in me wants

614
00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:09.039
to suit up and wants to get
out there, and you know, see,

615
00:52:09.079 --> 00:52:13.719
and we goes back to another conversation
we've had in the past. Guys,

616
00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:19.000
some people, just if they knew
it existed, wouldn't want to release

617
00:52:19.039 --> 00:52:22.000
it to anybody. And I think
he's one of these guys that would.

618
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:28.039
Really he's okay knowing what's going on. He just needed to tell somebody that

619
00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:31.000
would believe him. But you know, as for going out there and badgering

620
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:35.039
it, I don't think he wants
that experience. And also keep in mind

621
00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:37.920
that, you know, something I've
thought with over the time. If we

622
00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:40.360
go out do we make these situation
worse for the people that are experiencing them?

623
00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:50.119
Yep? Do the does the harassment
step up? Does the interaction get

624
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:52.599
more physical? I don't know,
and I haven't heard that to be the

625
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:55.599
case, but that takes me back
in my mind to you know, Henry

626
00:52:55.639 --> 00:53:00.920
the si Jahannabi Oklahoma, right where
those folks brought in those researchers and the

627
00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:06.920
attacks on the home got more intense
and there were shootings going on, and

628
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:12.239
you know, it was a real
situation. I think that episode itself would

629
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.320
be a good episode for us to
go down that incident. Oh absolutely,

630
00:53:16.079 --> 00:53:20.320
you know, that whole thing,
you know, got worse when more investigators

631
00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:22.199
hit the ground. And you know, I think a book that I'm going

632
00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:25.639
to go off on a tangent here, I'm sorry that I think people need

633
00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:30.559
to read when it comes to interactions
in Bigfoot is one that gets overlooked many

634
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:35.119
times, and that's The Locals by
Tom Powell. It's a phenomenal book,

635
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:38.440
isn't it, not, Henry,
It's it's a great Yes. I think

636
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:43.119
it kind of gets overshadowed by a
second book. But the first book is

637
00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:46.559
The Locals. Is It's up there
in my top ten of books that you

638
00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:51.679
have to read if you're you know, serious about the inquiry. And there

639
00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:54.360
are stories in there that you don't
get all the time. And we've talked

640
00:53:54.400 --> 00:54:00.239
about, you know, habituation and
how as a researcher you kind of got

641
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:05.880
to be on guard and not get
roped into what is obviously bullshit and what

642
00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:10.119
really could be an ongoing series of
encounters. I think we have to change

643
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:15.360
the term habituation. I think habituation
stirs up the you know, images of

644
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:23.079
the lady who we shall not name
in Tennessee to you know, that may

645
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:28.079
be something a little bit more fantastic. Look, folks, they're everywhere and

646
00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:31.679
sometimes you you know, Matt and
I talked today and without going into details

647
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:37.639
of this specific situation, you got
to look at people's psyche and some people

648
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:42.719
that endure some terrible things find a
way to cope. And sometimes that coping

649
00:54:42.760 --> 00:54:49.360
mechanism is finding themselves in this imaginary
world they live in with fake protectors because

650
00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:53.639
they've never dealt with the trauma of
their childhood or something traumatic that happened to

651
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:59.440
them. And it is getting a
little psychological because it's very true there are

652
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:04.199
people out there that are really suffering
from some deep traumatic things that haven't felt

653
00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:08.480
with, haven't found healthy outlets to
cope with that make themselves a parent.

654
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:12.519
In this community, they get a
hell of a following behind them, and

655
00:55:12.519 --> 00:55:16.519
it's very dangerous because it's just not
as it's meant to be. But but

656
00:55:16.880 --> 00:55:22.360
again that leads us back to the
title of the show. That's a big

657
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:27.280
distraction. It is it keeps them
away from dealing with whatever hurt them and

658
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:31.079
continuously protects them from the pain of
what, you know, whatever it is.

659
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:35.800
But it's not healthy. And I
think when we look at this whole

660
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:39.280
phenomena from a mental health perspective,
you know, we have to be very

661
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:44.639
careful because just as if there's a
flesh and blood and a paranormal, we

662
00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:47.320
got to start grouping witnesses kind of
in the same thing, is that they're

663
00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:54.800
the mainstream, legitimate or schizophrenic,
because there's a there is an unhealthy element

664
00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:59.960
that it actually could put researchers in
danger. And I think that's a lot

665
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:02.960
thing that we don't think about,
is the danger we put ourselves in sometimes

666
00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:07.960
to investigate some of this stuff.
Baker, we go back to that investigation

667
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:12.320
that you and I did. Everybody
was oohing and on over these photographs.

668
00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:15.000
You asked the guy for the photos. It's it's a blow up of polaroids

669
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:20.079
from his grandma's bay window. This
guy has aliens, he's got bigfoot,

670
00:56:20.119 --> 00:56:25.039
he's got the circle in the circles
galore in this goddamn circles. Baker rides

671
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:29.679
up the road. Didn't realize we
didn't you jump out of a moving car.

672
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:32.079
He jumps out of a moving vehicle
to get out of there because he's

673
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:38.199
worried that he just took a ride
up the road with Missus Vorgees. I

674
00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:42.360
saw how that movie started. I
was not gonna be that cook lady.

675
00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:47.559
Okay, the same, But you
know you make and the worst part is

676
00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:52.800
is you make one Vallid point is
that is you're taking somebody. Well,

677
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:57.960
the one that I can really latch
onto is you're taking somebody that's up here

678
00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:01.360
and like I know what I'm seeing
and or whatever, and you're corroding that

679
00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:07.239
dream. And when you do that, and as you pick any topic and

680
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:10.920
I'm not going to go into specifics
because it'll upset people, but if you

681
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:15.159
believe in something this hardcore and someone
starts to chip away from it, your

682
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:21.920
natural defense is to get angry because
they're right, because they're because you feel

683
00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:25.760
they're attacking you. It's not that
they're attacking you, it's that that they

684
00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:31.440
don't believe you and either need more
information or science says you're just not right.

685
00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:37.480
And the thing is is that people
don't handle that well in any situation,

686
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:42.000
even when like Sean, you're you're
a manager, and you know that

687
00:57:42.519 --> 00:57:45.679
you know Matt, your your cop, and if somebody walks over to you

688
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:49.679
and says all your evidence that you
collected was nothing, and you go,

689
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:52.039
no, no, no, I
did seventeen hours worth of work. I

690
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:55.480
had to deal with the smelly pump
guy. You know, you may because

691
00:57:55.519 --> 00:57:59.800
this guy is tearing this down,
that you get all this work for.

692
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:06.000
So you when you go out to
investigate and make sure you can solidly conversate,

693
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:09.719
you know, like customer service voice
is key. You might be the

694
00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:14.360
wheels in the back of your head
might be singing crazy, But what you

695
00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:15.880
need to do is just say,
well, yeah, I can see your

696
00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:20.599
point of view and a few other
things. Let me take what you got

697
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:24.159
that you're willing to give us,
and we'll call you when things we see

698
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:28.840
it, we can see you,
and then you go get a coffee and

699
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:31.480
you drive away. Okay. But
then there's also a countrary to that,

700
00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:37.039
people baker that have had ongoing encounters
for thirty forty to fifty plus years that

701
00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:40.239
have been made out to be crazy, who may not be crazy at all.

702
00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:45.679
They may have had legitimate activity over
the fifty years is a long time,

703
00:58:45.840 --> 00:58:51.559
and that's and that's valid. That's
valid ongoing experiences over that time.

704
00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:55.079
That's not unheard of, that that's
not uncommon. But the thing with that

705
00:58:55.199 --> 00:59:00.679
is most of the people that are
that are commonly having a use of experience.

706
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:02.280
I have no problem with you lived
in the same town, in the

707
00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:06.840
same house and you saw Bigfoot twenty
seven times, because you're still don't live

708
00:59:06.880 --> 00:59:08.800
in the land. Then it lives
in same like the deer and all the

709
00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:13.679
other animals that live in that surrounding
area. But if you say, oh,

710
00:59:13.760 --> 00:59:16.119
then I drove to Oklahoma and there
was one at the gas station that

711
00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:20.599
I drove to Tennessee and there was
another one on there's other Sonoko. Is

712
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:24.760
it traveling to Sonoko's around the country
that you happen to be at. No.

713
00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:32.519
Yeah, that's where the problem with
habituation. It's where these people say,

714
00:59:32.920 --> 00:59:37.039
I see it every day and you've
got no video, You've got no

715
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:40.800
photos, you've got no hair,
you've got no tracks. Bullshit, you

716
00:59:40.920 --> 00:59:47.079
got nothing because you're not seeing what
you think you're seeing. You're talking to

717
00:59:47.119 --> 00:59:52.719
your imaginary pet rabbit. Jeans.
Jeans, you brought up so many excellent

718
00:59:52.760 --> 00:59:57.960
points in there. You brought back
a lot of flash fact memories. My

719
00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:02.800
partner out here in the northeast part
is less less than cabbage. Great,

720
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:08.679
great researcher, wonderful wonderful guy.
And there's been two occasions that we've been

721
01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:15.760
out in the one, uh,
we can't go into details, but thankfully

722
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:20.360
I had a second person go with
me because I did not feel safe in

723
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:24.880
that house. And then there was
another time where again we can't go into

724
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:30.800
too many details, but the guy
was so convinced that what was going through

725
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:37.599
his property was a bigfoot that he
spent thousands of dollars on thermal equipment,

726
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:44.000
on cameras, on on voice recorders, everything, and and he he knew

727
01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:46.400
in the back of his mind that
was a Sasquatch. And Les and I

728
01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:50.639
are sitting there looking at the at
the trackway, I'm like, no,

729
01:00:50.840 --> 01:00:52.840
this is this is something that bounded
like you know, it could have been

730
01:00:52.840 --> 01:01:00.679
a deer, It could have been
really anything that was able to bound towards

731
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:04.559
it towards the end of the property. But this guy was so was so

732
01:01:04.679 --> 01:01:07.400
convinced that, you know, he
didn't want to listen to us. He

733
01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:13.079
went to to you know, four
other researchers trying to get that trying to

734
01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:17.519
get that validation. And it was
the validation we just LESSA and I just

735
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:23.280
did not We didn't feel comfortable because
it wasn't there. Wow. And you

736
01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:29.159
know, you make a valid point
because I used to sell electronics to people,

737
01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:31.599
okay, and we would have people
that would come in that would tell

738
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:37.519
us that someone's someone's messing with their
property and they would buy one thousands of

739
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:42.840
dollars equipment. We'd set it up
everything else and like nothing. But when

740
01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:45.920
they came in, they go,
your cameras aren't right because he was there,

741
01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:49.320
No that he wasn't there. After
you're seeing and you try to be

742
01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:52.119
polite, and it's six months later, so you're not returning the stuff.

743
01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:55.679
Sorry, you know, And you
know, and their family comes in and

744
01:01:55.719 --> 01:02:01.880
goes, don't sell them anything else. I have explained to them that we

745
01:02:01.920 --> 01:02:06.000
shouldn't be helping them, but they
still keep giving us a credit card.

746
01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:10.239
Weren't evil. We just can't tell
them no, you know, and and

747
01:02:10.239 --> 01:02:14.920
and you as a police officer,
and even you know, you know Vance

748
01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:17.599
and and Sean. You know,
there are people that if they're dead set,

749
01:02:17.719 --> 01:02:22.920
that's what it is. There's no
way parting them from that road without

750
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:28.800
hurting them mentally. We don't want
more because the lady was the one that

751
01:02:28.880 --> 01:02:31.280
I dealt with, was a nice
person. And if you weren't talking about

752
01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:37.960
the fact that someone was stalking her
in her yard. She seemed completely okay.

753
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:42.400
But then you have the opposite problem
of you don't believe somebody, and

754
01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:45.480
you don't believe somebody, and yeah, the neighbor next door poisoner for five

755
01:02:45.559 --> 01:02:50.840
years, like someone killed her,
and now we didn't let write And I

756
01:02:50.840 --> 01:02:53.280
mean, you run into that situation. And for the sake of time,

757
01:02:53.320 --> 01:02:57.800
we've got to start wrapping it up
here because we're going over. But you

758
01:02:57.840 --> 01:03:00.559
know, the big distraction of Vansos
is a great up. So it took

759
01:03:00.639 --> 01:03:04.800
us down some several rabbit holes that
were really worth talking about. I think

760
01:03:04.840 --> 01:03:07.880
everybody made some great points tonight.
At the end of the day, I

761
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:09.320
think the summing up, we're not
trying to hurt anybody. We're trying to

762
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:13.480
add a little bit more critical thought
to your life. Right, think about

763
01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:16.079
things, weigh them out, weigh
the pros, weigh the cause, weigh

764
01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:22.679
the consequences, and partner up whenever
you can for safety, folks. I'm

765
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:27.039
Sean the Fort Chop Forker. He's
James Baker, that's vans and Asbit,

766
01:03:27.440 --> 01:03:31.679
He's Matt Arner, and there's Henry
May. Henry give them those closing words.

767
01:03:32.039 --> 01:03:37.400
It'll be good. We will see
you next week with another great episode.

768
