WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.040
In one of them is big Foot
Sasquatch, the Secret Dance Cryptozoologic so zoological.

2
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:42.320
They say, a life is what
happens to you on the way that

3
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:55.000
you're trying to get to where you're
going, And in this case, life

4
00:00:55.119 --> 00:01:03.000
is a small desk in the basement
of your old house us and talking into

5
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:18.799
your iPhone with terrible audio quality.
It's meeting people along the way to end

6
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:33.000
up becoming a large part of what
it is that you're making. So we're

7
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:48.599
going back to episode number one and
then we're starting all over. See where

8
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.519
we've come, where we went through, and maybe some episodes along the way

9
00:01:53.719 --> 00:02:05.840
that you name catch so join me. So we hear old episodes and me

10
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:19.639
old friends for the first time in
this week's big Foot Society Classic. On

11
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.599
this classic episode, you'll hear me
record an episode of big Foot Society while

12
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:35.479
I'm in my car doing an uber
run in twenty nineteen. The audio quality

13
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:44.000
is not so good and the rambling
is pretty impressive. So sit back and

14
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:52.000
enjoy this great episode a big Foot
Society classic, the one while I'm actually

15
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:58.400
ubering in downtown Des Moines. Also, I'm pretty sure I was parked for

16
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.719

20
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:24.400
right, This is episode three Bigfoot
Society Podcasts coming at you at while.

21
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:31.719
I'm recording this on May fourth,
Star Wars Day. So for all you

22
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:38.560
Star Wars nerds like me out there, special for you. Here's a fun

23
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.960
little tidbit I read. I don't
know if it's true because I wasn't there,

24
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:50.840
but supposedly when they were filming Return
of the Jedi, they had to

25
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:58.319
have special crew with Peter Mayhew when
he was in his Chewbacca costume because it

26
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.879
was being filmed in the Redwood four
arist and you know, Pacific Northwest California,

27
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:09.000
and they didn't want people shooting at
him because they would think he was

28
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:19.839
bigfoot. Pretty fantastic. So also
rest in peace, Peter Mayhew, awesome

29
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:27.480
actor of our time, very unfortunate
passing. There is the actor who played

30
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:38.720
Chewbacca in the Star Wars films.
Also in news today tomorrow and all of

31
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:44.680
you listening to this probably already heard
this. You've already heard episode zero of

32
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.279
the big Foot and Beyond podcast,
hopefully if you haven't, check it out,

33
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:55.600
but tomorrow full episode one, big
Foot and Beyond podcast. And I

34
00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:01.160
know I'm butchering the name of it, but I'm also doing this in my

35
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.279
car as well, so I can't
look at the full name. I don't

36
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:11.360
haven't memorized yet. Anyways, it's
Bobo and Cliff from Finding Bigfoot. Fantastic

37
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:19.800
News because they are hilarious. I'm
just ecstatic that they are finally doing a

38
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:27.560
podcast. I hope they would for
a long time, and now they finally

39
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.240
are. I mean, in a
few minutes of episode zero that we've heard

40
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:36.639
these guys are hilarious and Cliff is
Cliff alone is a wealth of knowledge.

41
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:44.000
I've heard him on many podcasts.
I haven't heard Bobo yet, so hopefully

42
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.680
that will be amazing as well.
Sure it will be, and I'm sure

43
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.839
you know people of that caliber.
Cliff and Bobo, the Cliff, the

44
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:58.160
guests that they'll be able to get
are going to be fantastic. So really

45
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.120
looking forward to that. In fact, if you guys are listening to the

46
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:09.480
podcast, which I'm sure you are, I would love to interview either one

47
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.879
of you or the two together,
you both together or separately, whatever,

48
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:21.560
let's make it happen, figure it
out and it'd be the first awesome interview

49
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:29.319
on the Bigfoot Society podcast. Also
in Bigfoot News, we've got the Ohio

50
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:36.759
Bigfoot Conference going on today. Pretty
big conference in the bigfoot world. Excuse

51
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:46.360
that motorcycle, but I believe Cliff
and Bobo were there as well. Another

52
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.160
thing maybe in the future Bigfoot Society
can go to that would be like on

53
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:57.240
the bucket list, actually go to
Bigfoot conference and can you imagine doing a

54
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.480
live podcast there at a foot conference
Like that would be amazing. It'd be

55
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:09.319
totally like what happens at the comic
cons, you know, where you have

56
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:15.839
like live podcasts. I would love
that. Anyways, I'm saying it here.

57
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:21.160
Also, if you want to share
your Bigfoot siding story, or you

58
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:25.680
want to share a story, or
you want to be interviewed, or you're

59
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:31.600
up for being interviewed, or you're
like whatever, I would love if you

60
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:42.800
could contact me. DM me using
at Bigfoot Society Instagram, send me a

61
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:51.519
DM there, or you'd send me
an email at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot

62
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:57.560
com it is going to reach me
quicker on the Instagram just because I'm more

63
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:03.439
involved with that. I would love
to get some actual interviews going on.

64
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.639
That would be fantastic. I need
to crank out these episodes a little bit

65
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:16.399
more regularly is my goal. Kind
of slacking on that. So I heard

66
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.680
this clip on the Sad Squats Chronicles
podcasts and it kind of got me to

67
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.519
think. And so this guy brought
up and I can't remember his name,

68
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.960
sorry, but he brought up how
it's kind of ridiculous that people go into

69
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.840
this wood to mess with a creature
that's kind of the equivalent of at least

70
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.919
a grizzly bear, probably even more
massive, and just kind of poke at

71
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.240
it, get it to respond,
or or like mess around with it.

72
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:54.480
Right, that's crazy. And then
I got started thinking, like what why

73
00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:03.000
are we attracted to finding this this
big foot or the Sasquatch. I started

74
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.240
thinking like what what drew me to
it originally? And I started thinking back

75
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.519
to, you know, how it
started out with watching In Search of,

76
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.000
you know, the famous In Search
of with Leonard Demoy and all these different

77
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.200
shows. I think it's because we
live in a world that is so bombarded

78
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.960
with knowledge. We can find knowledge
at the click of a button. All

79
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.399
I have to do is search for
something. Literally, I'm typing it in

80
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:37.919
clicking a button, and I have
everything I could ever want about the subject.

81
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:46.159
However, in this crazy world,
there's still things that we don't know

82
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:54.320
in. One of them is bigfoot
sasquatch, these scriptids cryptozoologic so zoological,

83
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.600
and we don't know and we can't
look them up. And I think that

84
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:05.720
that just frustrates us as human beings. Maybe we don't really feel frustrated,

85
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.960
but I think that gets us and
we've got to figure it out. There

86
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.440
are certain human beings. I'm one
of them that I've got to figure something

87
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:24.559
out. And so you've got these
people and they've got maybe you know,

88
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:31.279
oral traditions from Native Americans, they've
got stories written down by Teddy Roosevelt.

89
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.080
But we still haven't really nailed it
down. And so that's why you have

90
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:43.840
you know, people out there.
You've got professors at universities, You've got

91
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.320
you know, people that are going
out into the bush and the wild trying

92
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.679
to find this. You've got people
that are using their own money to find

93
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.360
it. You've got people that are
being put on by different TV channels.

94
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.879
I mean, the money that's being
put into finding like what is Bigfoot is

95
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.840
incredible. And it comes down to
like it could be you know, Joe

96
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.559
Shimo on the corner is looking for
Bigfoot. It could be people like uh,

97
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.279
there's celebrities that look for bigfoot.
It's absolutely crazy, and you would

98
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:33.000
think that coming up someday we would
finally get some sort of evidence, like

99
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:39.679
big evidence, you know. And
I love the podcast Wild Thing where they

100
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.519
talk about, you know, getting
the samples and having them researched out,

101
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.440
you know, not this time,
but maybe next time. Like just that

102
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:56.559
quest for knowledge. It's fantastic.
I think that it really takes us as

103
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:03.279
humans. It's like we're fishing the
water and there's this hook and the bait

104
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:09.480
is what is bigfoot? And we
just go after that bait boom hooks us

105
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:22.320
hooks us forever. It's not crazy
to think that in maybe my lifetime or

106
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:31.679
a next generation, we will finally
find a sample as in like a living

107
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.960
specimen or a dead specimen or something. I mean, just look at how

108
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.879
long it took to actually like find
the gorillas in Africa. Wasn't that long

109
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.679
ago? If you look it up. I want to say it was the

110
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.879
late eighteen hundreds. Can't look it
up right now because I don't have that

111
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:58.000
memorized. So if you know you
want to blast me an email or comment

112
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.159
on my Instagram gram posts on at
Bigfoot Society, definitely go ahead and let

113
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.919
me know the actual date. Another
thing that I wanted to say thank you

114
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:16.080
for is the cool thing about using
anchor for podcasts is that I can see

115
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.279
statistics on where my listeners are.
And I was blown away the other day

116
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:26.440
that I've got listeners for this podcast
all over the place. The main place

117
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.679
is Texas, which at first I
was a little surprised at. But Dan,

118
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.759
I was like, whoa, you've
heard about Area X. You've seen

119
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.879
it Area X mentioned in great detail
on the Trail of big Foot if you

120
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.200
haven't watched that documentary yet, it's
fantastic. I love the episode that goes

121
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.159
in Area X. So if you're
from Texas you're listening to this, thank

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.279
if you guys are listening to this

134
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.840
So thank you for listening, taking
the time out of your day to listen

135
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.320
to me, you know, ramble
a little bit about sasquatch. That's what

136
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.759
I like to do. I will
love to hear some feedback from you guys,

137
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.879
because I know you're listening. What's
some feedback about what you would like

138
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.879
to hear me talk about next.
My next big goal for the podcast is

139
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.879
I would want to desperately get an
interview, and I got to set that

140
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.639
up and you know, to do
the whole like, Okay, it's gonna

141
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.399
be on the computer. It's gonna
be Skype, it's gonna have you know,

142
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.639
headphones, blah blah blah. But
I want to get an interview like

143
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:35.960
that should be cool. I've always
loved kind of a little journalism side to

144
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:45.960
me. Love writing, love writing
articles. I was able to be PA

145
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:52.960
on Terry and the Skies, the
new Seth Breed Love documentary is coming out.

146
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.639
I am a PA on that for
second unit, which means that my

147
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:07.600
friend Andrew had me see the questions, come up with some questions, read

148
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:14.720
some to the guys that we were
interviewing about things like the Van Meter visitor

149
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.679
and different thunderbird type legends. So

Jeremiah check them back in. Glad you

172
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:42.519
made it through that episode. Something
I noticed that was really cool. Currently,

173
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.839
the goal of big Foot Society is
to give people a platform built on

174
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:57.039
safety and respect to share their big
Foot encounter. I had forgotten what I

175
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:03.519
talked about in this episode, and
I pretty much had the same thing way

176
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:11.400
back then in twenty nineteen. Now
did I get a little distracted, as

177
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:18.920
you'll find out, and have to
do a few hundred episodes interviewing random people

178
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.880
in cryptozoology. Yeah, and I
wouldn't trade those episodes for the world.

179
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:29.799
But eventually I do get back to
that original goal that I had that came

180
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:37.960
out in this episode. I hope
you enjoy these throwback classic episodes every Wednesday,

181
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:44.200
and remember share the show, Share
this episode with a friend. Please

182
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:51.359
make sure you're subscribe, and I'll
see you next episode. Thanks for listening.

183
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.640
You're a big Foot Society art goal
is to provide a platform for those

184
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:02.319
that have encountered Bigfoot to share their
encounter in a safe and respected environment.

185
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.119
But we need to hear your story. If you've experienced something that you just

186
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:14.480
can't explain, please send me an
email at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

187
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:17.559
Then we can start the conversation.
And I know a lot of you

188
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:23.200
have not shared your encounter at all. It's been twenty years, and it's

189
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:27.079
time that you get this off your
chest and then you can get some well

190
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:32.559
deserved for rest, because I know
you haven't been sleeping. I understand what

191
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.680
you're going through, and I appreciate
every one of you listening
