00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.880
This air. Life is what happens
to you on the way that you try

2
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:57.280
to get to where you're going,
And in this case, life is a

3
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:03.200
small desk in the basement of your
old house. Us I'm talking into your

4
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:19.000
iPhone with terrible audio quality. It's
meeting people along the way to end up

5
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:33.239
becoming a large part of what it
is that you're making. So we're going

6
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:48.959
back to episode number one and then
we're starting all over. See where we've

7
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.799
come, where we went through,
and maybe some episodes along the way that

8
00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:05.959
you didn't catch. So join me. So we hear old episodes and meet

9
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:17.960
old friends for the first time in
this week's big Foot Society classic. Thanks

10
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.599
for turning into the first episode Bigfoot
Society. This is gonna be an awesome

11
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:29.919
podcast where we talk about bigfoot sasquatch, cryptic stuff, mainly bigfoot though.

12
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.879
We're gonna have interviews, and I
want to have interviews with people like Seth

13
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:40.879
Breed Love, Bob Gimlin, all
the cool people. You know. There's

14
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.159
there's plenty of awesome people that we're
going to get interviews, but we gotta

15
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:51.800
star small. So let's start with
why did I first get into Bigfoot?

16
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.360
We'll start as a little kid and
you know, your your dad shows you

17
00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:01.360
TV shows and I remember him putting
in we listened to actually we were watching

18
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:08.199
too in search of and had a
letter Demoy and cool synth music and they

19
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:16.800
had a Bigfoot episode and it was
just incredible. Blew my mind. How

20
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:23.599
I hadn't seen anything like this before. And then you know, there was

21
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.599
an episode. I want to say
it was the same show, I can't

22
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.240
say one hundred percent, but they
said, now we finally have the video

23
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:36.919
of Bigfoot, and they showed the
Patterson Gimblin footage and it was incredible,

24
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.199
and I was like, remember as
a as a young kid, maybe like

25
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.919
junior high a little younger, I
was like, why isn't everyone talking about

26
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.680
this as incredible? Right? And
from then I, you know, I

27
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.159
was just talked you know, the
weird, the crazy, the you know,

28
00:03:54.520 --> 00:04:00.080
especially Bigfoot being out in the woods
alt As a little kid, I

29
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:08.240
always had a seeing suspicion somewhere around
the next corner the big guy was hanging

30
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:14.240
out. You never know. Another
thing I want to get out of the

31
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.879
way right off the bat is starting
this podcast from the ground level. Some

32
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.399
use my iPhone. I'm using some
old headphones. You're gonna hear some crazy

33
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.199
audio stuff. I just know you're
gonna hear the popping of the piece like

34
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.639
right now. Taught me some slack. I am gonna be buying equipment as

35
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:38.480
I go along. Also, if
you want to see the community that's already

36
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:43.040
been started with big Foot Society,
just go over on Instagram and look up

37
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:47.279
at Bigfoot Society. We've got a
ton of members already over there. I

38
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:54.519
want to say it's about fourteen hundred
around there. People that are falling already

39
00:04:54.519 --> 00:05:00.480
a big Foot Society. A lot
of cool, cool discussions going on certain

40
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.199
posts in that Instagram feed. But
we want to take it to the next

41
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:09.360
level. So they're gonna start this
podcast and see what happens. Sick a

42
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:14.279
few minutes to talk about big foot
news. So right now, Seth Breedlove

documentary maker from Ohio and he makes some

45
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:31.399

60
00:06:54.439 --> 00:07:01.560
is a episode where Shannon interviews Seth
and others and they talk about a place

61
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:08.879
I didn't know about in Oklahoma called
Areas, and it just blew my mind

62
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:15.279
and the things they had to do
to get into this untouched place in the

63
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:20.560
middle of the mountains in Oklahoma and
the encounters they had. You've got to

00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:26.720
go check that out. So definitely
go check that out. Makes me want

67
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.240

like to see in the future before

68
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.399
this podcast. I want to get
to the point where we are connecting with

or Apple podcasts whatever. I mean,

71
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.680
i love the Sasquatch Chronicles podcast,
but I'm pretty sure we could have our

72
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.639
little spin on that too. Be
good stuff. Also, I maybe down

73
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:22.240
the road, I love to get
to go to different big Foot conferences Pacific,

a website. Somebody already owns it.

77
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.200
That's a listen to everyone that if
you think you're ever going to go into

78
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.279
