0:37 This air. Life is what happens to you on the way that you try to get to where you're going, And in this case, life is a small desk in the basement of your old house. Us I'm talking into your iPhone with terrible audio quality. It's meeting people along the way to end up becoming a large part of what it is that you're making. So we're going back to episode number one and then we're starting all over. See where we've come, where we went through, and maybe some episodes along the way that you didn't catch. So join me. So we hear old episodes and meet old friends for the first time in this week's big Foot Society classic. Thanks

2:17 for turning into the first episode Bigfoot Society. This is gonna be an awesome podcast where we talk about bigfoot sasquatch, cryptic stuff, mainly bigfoot though. We're gonna have interviews, and I want to have interviews with people like Seth Breed Love, Bob Gimlin, all the cool people. You know. There's there's plenty of awesome people that we're going to get interviews, but we gotta star small. So let's start with why did I first get into Bigfoot? We'll start as a little kid and you know, your your dad shows you TV shows and I remember him putting in we listened to actually we were watching too in search of and had a letter Demoy and cool synth music and they had a Bigfoot episode and it was just incredible. Blew my mind. How I hadn't seen anything like this before. And then you know, there was an episode. I want to say it was the same show, I can't say one hundred percent, but they said, now we finally have the video of Bigfoot, and they showed the Patterson Gimblin footage and it was incredible, and I was like, remember as a as a young kid, maybe like junior high a little younger, I was like, why isn't everyone talking about this as incredible? Right? And from then I, you know, I

3:49 was just talked you know, the weird, the crazy, the you know, especially Bigfoot being out in the woods alt As a little kid, I always had a seeing suspicion somewhere around the next corner the big guy was hanging out. You never know. Another thing I want to get out of the way right off the bat is starting this podcast from the ground level. Some use my iPhone. I'm using some old headphones. You're gonna hear some crazy audio stuff. I just know you're gonna hear the popping of the piece like right now. Taught me some slack. I am gonna be buying equipment as I go along. Also, if you want to see the community that's already been started with big Foot Society, just go over on Instagram and look up at Bigfoot Society. We've got a ton of members already over there. I want to say it's about fourteen hundred around there. People that are falling already a big Foot Society. A lot of cool, cool discussions going on certain posts in that Instagram feed. But we want to take it to the next level. So they're gonna start this podcast and see what happens. Sick a few minutes to talk about big foot news. So right now, Seth Breedlove who If you don't know small town monsters, I mean, you really have to get on that. He's just documentary maker from Ohio and he makes some

5:23 phenomenal movies about how different cryptids affect small towns in America. It's pretty cool concept. I love it. But he is just while they just released Kickstarter for the movies of twenty nineteen Momo Monster from Missouri on the Trail big Foot, and there's a Thunderbirds movie tearing the guys as well, which is awesome. I'm personally from central Iowa. We have a thunder type legend called Van Meter Visitor, so a little plug for that. Check it out Van Meter Visitor and Van Meter Iowa. You can go to the Van Meter Visitor Festival every year. It's a good time. Anyways, So this kick Starter right now, Seth breedlove small Town Monsters. Check it out. It's a way for you to get your hands on these videos early. Also, get your name in the credits, get some swag. It's good stuff. Support the community and these guys, the small Town Monsters, great great stuff. Also, if you listen to a lot of podcasts like I do, you want to check out into the Freight podcast with Shannon LeGrow, which should also be another great interview down the line, so plug for that. Anyways. There

6:54 is a episode where Shannon interviews Seth and others and they talk about a place I didn't know about in Oklahoma called Areas, and it just blew my mind and the things they had to do to get into this untouched place in the middle of the mountains in Oklahoma and the encounters they had. You've got to go check that out. So definitely go check that out. Makes me want to watch on the Trail of Bigfoot six episodes series today. I mean, that's gonna be phenomenal, phenomenal footage. Yeah, so definitely check it out.

7:41 So let's talk about what I would like to see in the future before this podcast. I want to get to the point where we are connecting with the community. So please you can be listening to this on you know, any sort of podcast or like Spotify or Apple podcasts whatever. I mean, i love the Sasquatch Chronicles podcast, but I'm pretty sure we could have our little spin on that too. Be good stuff. Also, I maybe down the road, I love to get to go to different big Foot conferences Pacific, Northwest, Ohio and kind of maybe do like a live podcast. That'd be awesome. You can also email us at big Foot Society at gmail dot com. Also, eventually I'll get a website. Somebody already owns it.

8:39 That's a listen to everyone that if you think you're ever going to go into something by the website, because now it's like a lot of money, so whoever owns that touche? Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the first episode of Bigfoot Society kind of beer Bones, but we are gonna hopefully put out an episode every week and a half to two weeks.
