Mike thought he was watching a bear outside a remote cabin in the mountains of North Georgia.


Then he noticed the hand.


About ten years ago, Mike was staying alone near Elijay, Georgia, where his stepfather had been dealing with an animal getting into a deer feeder. One morning around 9:15, Mike finally saw something feeding outside.


He watched from the cabin window as the encounter unfolded only 30 yards away.


The longer Mike looked, the harder it became to explain what he was seeing. A hand. A face. An unusual brow. Massive shoulders. Dark brown hair. For a moment, he wondered if a hunter wearing a ghillie suit had wandered onto the property.


Mike kept what happened that morning to himself for years.


In this episode of Bigfoot Society, he finally walks Jeremiah through the experience in detail—the distances, the physical features he remembers, his attempts to identify what was outside the cabin, and the reason this encounter eventually returned to the surface nearly a decade later.


This is Mike's firsthand account from the mountains near Elijay, Georgia.

1
00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:05.070
I start seeing this again. That was a bear. This

2
00:00:05.150 --> 00:00:12.630
paw come up. Okay, what? And it's eating us. I think, what?

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:14.130
That's not a hand.

4
00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:18.199
This is Bigfoot Society. Today's witness is Mike. And about

5
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.440
10 years ago, he was staying alone at a small

6
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.399
cabin near Ella Jay in the mountains of North Georgia.

7
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.719
His stepfather had been having trouble with what he thought

8
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.800
was a bear getting into a deer feeder. But one morning,

9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.679
Mike finally saw it for himself. And for years, he

10
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.500
told nobody. So here's Mike.

11
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:41.789
So I'll just start. My mother and her husband, I

12
00:00:41.810 --> 00:00:46.350
called them chief. They moved from Florida up to Ellijay, Georgia.

13
00:00:47.770 --> 00:00:51.909
And they moved to a, I call it a gated community.

14
00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:58.039
It's called Kusawati. And it encompasses, it's gated, three gates together.

15
00:00:59.509 --> 00:01:05.909
And it encompasses two mountains, I believe. Anyway, so, okay,

16
00:01:06.189 --> 00:01:13.140
I'd go up there. I'd visit. Well, my stepfather, I

17
00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:16.760
had always called him chief. So he was so happy

18
00:01:16.819 --> 00:01:22.599
about buying this little cabin. It was about an hour away.

19
00:01:23.689 --> 00:01:26.909
And what's funny about this, they had a very nice, like,

20
00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:31.709
uh i call it three stories had a split level

21
00:01:32.010 --> 00:01:37.390
you know very nice huge log cabin model kind of

22
00:01:37.409 --> 00:01:41.129
thing like okay yeah this is pretty rural to me

23
00:01:41.209 --> 00:01:46.909
but you know um so he he told me um

24
00:01:47.450 --> 00:01:51.250
he said hey i'm having problem with the bear up

25
00:01:51.310 --> 00:01:55.200
here and he uh he well let me back up

26
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.280
he was so proud He said he bought this for

27
00:01:58.299 --> 00:02:03.140
a song and a dance. OK, cool. Great. So he said, hey,

28
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:07.120
I'm having problems with this bear, you know, up there.

29
00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:10.680
So what he's doing, he's he's he's stealing food out

30
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.419
of the out of the feeder. They had a feeder.

31
00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:18.930
He didn't hunt, but they liked feeding the deer. So

32
00:02:20.389 --> 00:02:24.319
I said, OK. And he made a statement that went

33
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.240
right over my head. He's a slick bear. He puts

34
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.930
the lid back on it. And it just went right

35
00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:34.189
over my head. OK, no problem. I said, OK, I'll

36
00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:38.110
come up. I have to write a position paper for

37
00:02:38.129 --> 00:02:40.550
my job. I said, you know what? This would be

38
00:02:40.569 --> 00:02:42.469
a good opportunity. You know, I can just have some time.

39
00:02:42.620 --> 00:02:47.379
This was almost 11 years ago. So I go up.

40
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.009
He drops me off. Uh, it was about an hour away.

41
00:02:52.669 --> 00:02:57.229
I can probably find where it's at. If I really look, um,

42
00:02:57.689 --> 00:03:00.349
not exactly sure the location, but you know, give me

43
00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:04.370
some time. I could probably look. So we go up,

44
00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:08.590
he drops me off. I spend the night. I bought,

45
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.900
I brought a pound of Tannerite. Have you ever heard

46
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:12.379
of Tannerite?

47
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:13.960
Absolutely.

48
00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:21.349
Yes. Yeah. It's a binary explosion. Very stable. It's federally regulated.

49
00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:25.020
They use it as marking targets. I was just going

50
00:03:25.060 --> 00:03:28.039
to scare the bear. No intention of shooting the bear.

51
00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:33.250
That wasn't my intention. I was just going to scare it.

52
00:03:33.370 --> 00:03:40.189
So I went there, spent the night. Got up. Done

53
00:03:40.210 --> 00:03:48.949
my little morning ablutions. Made some tea. And what I

54
00:03:48.990 --> 00:03:52.400
did is I put a– they had this big bay window.

55
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.120
And it was, you know, the big, huge– and if

56
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:05.439
you unlock it, you pull it to you. Or wait. Anyway. So, okay.

57
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.750
I brought my AR-15, had a chair there. I was

58
00:04:09.770 --> 00:04:11.389
just going to– hey, if I happen to see it

59
00:04:11.490 --> 00:04:16.790
and I unlock the window– There was binoculars right next

60
00:04:16.810 --> 00:04:21.509
to the window. OK, so this cabin, you come up

61
00:04:21.829 --> 00:04:26.750
and it's a flat piece of land. Oh, I'm going

62
00:04:26.769 --> 00:04:31.230
to say about an acre. You had this this cabin,

63
00:04:31.589 --> 00:04:37.990
one bedroom cabin with a little kitchen area. So, OK,

64
00:04:38.430 --> 00:04:41.009
if I ever see it. I was going to shoot

65
00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:49.430
that Tannerite. So let me give you some numbers. The

66
00:04:49.470 --> 00:04:54.959
cabin had a raised porch. It was off slab, above grade.

67
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.920
You know what I mean? By, I believe, two feet. Okay. So,

68
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:06.959
and I'll give you numbers. They had, it was, it was,

69
00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:11.620
let me get this straight. 30, 40, okay. It was

70
00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:16.439
50 yards to the, to the Fitz line. They had, uh,

71
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.139
the wooden, wooden poles, you know, and, and, and barbed wire,

72
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.029
three strands, you know, your typical, and that was, uh,

73
00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:30.079
four feet. The, he added, they added deer feeder. So

74
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.279
it was 30 yards to the, to the, uh, deer feeder.

75
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:44.459
And it was 50 to the, uh, To the fence line. So, okay,

76
00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:48.009
I placed that Tannerite right at the fence line on

77
00:05:48.029 --> 00:05:51.490
the ground, about a foot before it, and see the bear.

78
00:05:51.850 --> 00:05:53.430
I'm going to shoot it. I'm going to scare the bear.

79
00:05:54.129 --> 00:05:58.310
Have a good day. I come in there, and it was,

80
00:05:59.009 --> 00:06:02.389
I want to say, it was 9-something. I think it

81
00:06:02.430 --> 00:06:05.800
was like 9.15. I walk in there from the kitchen.

82
00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:12.509
I see this bear, okay? It is... It is just

83
00:06:12.550 --> 00:06:19.079
to the right of that feeder. And I'm seeing, you know, movement.

84
00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:23.439
Now I'm looking at this bear straight on, okay, what

85
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.730
I'm thinking is a bear. I sit down. I have

86
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:34.410
binoculars on the ledge to my right and my AR-15

87
00:06:34.529 --> 00:06:36.850
to the right so I can reach it. I'm looking

88
00:06:36.870 --> 00:06:40.050
at this bear and now this right here is going

89
00:06:40.069 --> 00:06:43.310
to go real quick. This next, I'm looking at it

90
00:06:43.490 --> 00:06:47.910
and I remember thinking, my God, that's a big bear.

91
00:06:49.670 --> 00:06:53.290
Don't they just have black bears here? Okay, man, they're

92
00:06:53.329 --> 00:06:54.029
growing big up here.

93
00:06:54.129 --> 00:06:54.350
Okay.

94
00:06:55.529 --> 00:06:59.769
And I'm looking at this and I thought the bear

95
00:06:59.829 --> 00:07:02.829
I was looking at straight on. So, and I start

96
00:07:02.910 --> 00:07:07.439
seeing this again, I thought it was a bear. This

97
00:07:07.540 --> 00:07:15.000
paw come up. Okay, what? And it's eating. I think, what?

98
00:07:15.430 --> 00:07:20.889
That's not a hand. At this point, the quote-unquote bear

99
00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:24.649
kind of sits up just a little, and I see

100
00:07:24.689 --> 00:07:33.550
a face. And so here's my train of thought. This

101
00:07:33.569 --> 00:07:38.680
is what happened. I see a face. I'm thinking, wait,

102
00:07:38.949 --> 00:07:42.819
is this, is this a hunter? And my first inclination

103
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:48.800
was it being a hunter. Okay. Because the hairline was

104
00:07:48.980 --> 00:07:52.910
farther down on the forehead. And I just immediately, and

105
00:07:53.269 --> 00:07:57.370
I started getting mad just for a split second. Like who, what, who,

106
00:07:58.529 --> 00:08:01.709
who's up here hunting? So then I go into, um,

107
00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:07.759
documentation mode is what I call it. Cause I'm not

108
00:08:07.779 --> 00:08:09.879
going to confront this guy, but I'm going to call

109
00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:12.579
the authorities and I need to give a description. I

110
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:17.189
understand this is going very fast. I'm explaining that slowly,

111
00:08:17.769 --> 00:08:21.269
but you know, so I, I, I, I'm looking at

112
00:08:21.629 --> 00:08:24.000
the brow. I'm thinking, and the reason why I thought

113
00:08:24.009 --> 00:08:25.939
it was a hunter is because I thought he was

114
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.040
wearing a ghillie suit. You know, that, that, does that

115
00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:31.500
make sense? Yes, absolutely.

116
00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:31.959
Absolutely.

117
00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:37.120
Okay, that's what sent me down that road. So I

118
00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:42.240
look at the brow, the forehead. Then I noticed the brow.

119
00:08:42.659 --> 00:08:45.899
Brow was a little weird. Nose, I'm just starting to

120
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:52.779
talk now. Nose was flatter, wider. It was not, let

121
00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:54.799
me make this clear, it was not like a gorilla.

122
00:08:55.299 --> 00:08:58.179
Like it was punched in. But it was wide and flat.

123
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:05.990
And the lips... We're just like non-expression. And I'm just

124
00:09:06.570 --> 00:09:10.230
all this time. And this is happening within seconds. Understand this.

125
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.759
This train of thought. I'm just getting more confused, more confused.

126
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:23.269
And I am at that moment. I'm just I tell you,

127
00:09:23.289 --> 00:09:26.820
I'm confused. The best way I can describe it is,

128
00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:29.279
in my mind, it's like I'm going through a filing cabinet.

129
00:09:29.299 --> 00:09:32.279
I'm like, is this? No. Is this? No. Is this? No.

130
00:09:33.070 --> 00:09:37.269
And it was weird. I hope you can understand this.

131
00:09:39.830 --> 00:09:43.450
Then at that point, I was like, is this a man?

132
00:09:43.769 --> 00:09:48.539
Or is it what? Is this a, you know, you

133
00:09:48.580 --> 00:09:51.299
ever look at somebody and go. Is that person young

134
00:09:51.299 --> 00:09:54.419
and looks old? Or is he old and looks young?

135
00:09:54.419 --> 00:09:58.740
You ever you ever done that? I understand. And the

136
00:09:58.820 --> 00:10:03.019
moment I, you know, it, it lifts his head up

137
00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:08.450
to getting to that point. I mean, we're talking 30,

138
00:10:08.450 --> 00:10:13.590
45 seconds, you know, I mean, it was pretty quick,

139
00:10:13.889 --> 00:10:17.580
I guess. And then, and I'm just, I'm almost, I'm

140
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.639
just almost like translating, like, I'm just totally confused. And

141
00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:28.779
it stood up. And let me tell you, it was

142
00:10:28.830 --> 00:10:32.309
like somebody poured a cold bucket of water right in

143
00:10:32.330 --> 00:10:36.590
my face. You know, it's just like, what? The mass

144
00:10:36.769 --> 00:10:47.070
and the mass of this thing was just breathtaking. Height-wise,

145
00:10:48.409 --> 00:10:56.580
that corn feeder, automatic feeder, the top of it was,

146
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.179
I believe, six foot. Okay? So I'm giving you reference

147
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.559
numbers here. Six foot. There was some corn on the ground.

148
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:14.100
So it stands up. It's probably, I'd say... a head

149
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:20.100
length above that, if not more. I, and now, you know,

150
00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:24.230
witnesses and all, they tend to focus on something. I

151
00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:28.830
just was the mass of this thing. You know, it's,

152
00:11:29.509 --> 00:11:33.409
it never looked up at me. I quite frankly, I

153
00:11:33.429 --> 00:11:36.049
don't think it ever, it didn't know I was there.

154
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.059
I mean, that's just the impression I got, but it

155
00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:43.730
stood up and it kind of looked around. and, uh,

156
00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:51.659
turned around, walked to that, uh, Barbara fence and just

157
00:11:51.700 --> 00:11:57.840
straddled it and headed on. Um, and, and I, I

158
00:11:57.940 --> 00:12:03.710
can't tell you about, um, feet. I did notice, um,

159
00:12:06.450 --> 00:12:08.649
one thing I guess I did notice is it's right there, uh,

160
00:12:09.769 --> 00:12:13.500
where your, your, your top of your underneath your armpit

161
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.629
and all it was a little the hair was sparser

162
00:12:18.230 --> 00:12:20.309
like it you know like it just rubs you know

163
00:12:20.870 --> 00:12:22.669
your arm does that make sense.

164
00:12:24.169 --> 00:12:25.889
That does make sense yeah I did know that.

165
00:12:26.730 --> 00:12:30.789
I can't tell you about the feet I I'm sorry

166
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.299
I can't tell you about proportions first I I was

167
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.480
just the mass of this thing I was I was

168
00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:45.480
just I was impressed um and uh Yeah, I, man,

169
00:12:45.950 --> 00:12:50.269
so that happened. I, for the rest of the day,

170
00:12:51.549 --> 00:12:52.669
Chief was going to go up there and he was

171
00:12:52.690 --> 00:12:56.549
going to pick me up that afternoon. And I just

172
00:12:56.590 --> 00:13:02.100
sat there. I didn't work. I just, my mind was

173
00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:07.159
just circular. It's just like, was it this? I mean,

174
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:12.649
I went from, are you seeing things? Was it a guy?

175
00:13:12.730 --> 00:13:17.929
It just kept circling, you know. Chief got got up there.

176
00:13:18.690 --> 00:13:21.690
I didn't say a word to him. I just was

177
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.840
I compartmentalize this. Because I just had to. I just.

178
00:13:30.179 --> 00:13:32.559
I'm not even believing myself at this point, to be

179
00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:33.059
honest with you.

180
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:33.149
So.

181
00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:37.799
We can stop right here and you can ask me

182
00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:39.700
this or I can continue on the second part of

183
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:40.120
this story.

184
00:13:40.179 --> 00:13:44.559
Yeah, I would absolutely love to to to ask some questions.

185
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.340
Remind me again, just so I make sure it's documented.

186
00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:56.990
Can you. The most detail about the year, time of year,

187
00:13:57.009 --> 00:13:57.990
all that.

188
00:14:00.690 --> 00:14:04.259
It was September. What is, uh, 10 years ago? What

189
00:14:04.340 --> 00:14:06.899
is this? 26. So it would be 2006. Okay.

190
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:14.340
Or, uh, it'd be two 2016. Sounds about right.

191
00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:15.080
Okay. Perfect.

192
00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:17.809
Thank you. Did it have any, uh, clothes on it

193
00:14:17.950 --> 00:14:19.029
at all that you could see?

194
00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:25.549
No, sir. Okay. It did. No. Um, it was hair,

195
00:14:27.090 --> 00:14:32.190
not fur. It was thick hair though. The, uh, the head.

196
00:14:32.330 --> 00:14:35.129
And I, I, I can't tell you if it was, uh,

197
00:14:35.789 --> 00:14:37.929
what do you say? Conical. I can't tell you that

198
00:14:38.110 --> 00:14:44.110
it was had a full head of hair. Um, and, uh,

199
00:14:45.409 --> 00:14:49.889
but like I said, it came down further down than,

200
00:14:50.009 --> 00:14:52.769
than the average person. That's why I thought it was

201
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.340
a hunter in a ghillie suit at first. Okay.

202
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.919
When you said it was a head length above, uh,

203
00:15:01.029 --> 00:15:04.360
Would you, would it be possible, like for, let's say

204
00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:07.279
if people aren't aware of what that phrase would mean,

205
00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:09.200
what would you estimate the height of it to be?

206
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:15.940
I just would have to six foot plus maybe a

207
00:15:15.940 --> 00:15:17.370
foot and a half. Okay.

208
00:15:17.379 --> 00:15:19.769
So like seven and a half to eight. Yeah. Sounds like, okay.

209
00:15:20.649 --> 00:15:24.610
Okay. Yeah. Something. Yeah. Okay.

210
00:15:25.129 --> 00:15:27.769
What was the color of the hair that you could see?

211
00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:34.659
Not quite cinnamon. It was a little darker. It was

212
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.090
kind of a dark brown. Okay. Yeah.

213
00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:42.570
You mentioned you were able to definitely see parts of

214
00:15:42.610 --> 00:15:46.490
the face. Were there any emotions at all that could

215
00:15:46.529 --> 00:15:50.649
be seen besides how the nose looked, stuff like that?

216
00:15:51.649 --> 00:15:57.860
Emotions from that creature? Yeah. Yeah. No. No. It was

217
00:15:59.059 --> 00:16:00.279
just very straight-faced.

218
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:02.340
Yeah.

219
00:16:02.620 --> 00:16:07.940
No, nothing. Nothing. No emotion. Okay. That's all I can remember.

220
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.320
Was there anything that made you think what you were

221
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.470
looking at was either a male or a female?

222
00:16:14.070 --> 00:16:23.509
No. Again, I didn't look for genitalia. I wasn't focused

223
00:16:23.590 --> 00:16:27.450
on that when that thing stood up. I, to the

224
00:16:27.509 --> 00:16:30.529
best of my ability, I did not see breath. So

225
00:16:30.649 --> 00:16:31.830
take that for whatever it's worth.

226
00:16:32.129 --> 00:16:37.269
Absolutely. You've mentioned like the size of it. It was,

227
00:16:37.309 --> 00:16:41.220
it was pretty massive a few times. Did the size

228
00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:43.879
of it remind you of any sports figure that you've

229
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:49.460
seen on TV or any, let's say like action movie person,

230
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:54.820
anything like that? I, I, I.

231
00:16:54.799 --> 00:17:00.639
Couldn't see definition, you know, not necessarily like a bodybuilder.

232
00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:03.730
But it was, I mean, the hair was fairly thick

233
00:17:03.789 --> 00:17:08.490
enough to where I didn't see tone that I can remember.

234
00:17:09.190 --> 00:17:12.369
I'm working off a 10-year-old memory here.

235
00:17:12.849 --> 00:17:15.700
Did you tell Chief what happened when he picked you up?

236
00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:19.339
Brother, I told nobody.

237
00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:20.029
You told no one.

238
00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:26.069
Wow. No one. And that will eventually... Okay. I'll, I'll

239
00:17:26.109 --> 00:17:28.569
eventually get to the second part of the story is why,

240
00:17:29.069 --> 00:17:29.569
you know, yeah.

241
00:17:29.809 --> 00:17:30.450
I understand.

242
00:17:30.710 --> 00:17:34.390
No. Okay. I compartmentalize that. I was, I, it just,

243
00:17:36.250 --> 00:17:40.650
it was so shocking and just, I, man, a gamut

244
00:17:40.690 --> 00:17:41.269
of emotions.

245
00:17:42.130 --> 00:17:42.569
Absolutely.

246
00:17:42.589 --> 00:17:44.349
I'd be damned if I was going to tell anybody.

247
00:17:45.289 --> 00:17:46.849
And I want to make, I want to make this

248
00:17:47.730 --> 00:17:55.559
clear too. Um, I, it's, Okay, it's one thing that

249
00:17:55.700 --> 00:17:59.640
this happened, but the cherry on top of that cake

250
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:07.240
is where it happened. You know, I don't know. As

251
00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:10.619
a typical 10-year-old, you know, I read about Bigfoot, but

252
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.180
I also read about UFOs and ghosts and Loch Ness.

253
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.440
You know what I mean? Typical 10-year-old, you know. But

254
00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:21.319
I just, you know, I don't. went into adulthood. I, I, I,

255
00:18:22.789 --> 00:18:27.000
just my opinion of this subject was kind of cool that,

256
00:18:27.779 --> 00:18:31.680
you know, that does exist. But if they do, that's

257
00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:36.259
up there in Pacific Northwest. Right. I, I, that, I,

258
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:39.940
this might sound trivial, but that is just as shocking

259
00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:45.240
to me that it was there. Sure. I just had

260
00:18:45.289 --> 00:18:48.130
no clue. I asked a psychologist once, and this was

261
00:18:48.190 --> 00:18:52.500
just more in the, at a lunch hanging hour and

262
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:55.349
I just said hey how can you tell if you

263
00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:00.289
have if you're paranoid schizophrenic or schizophrenic he said he

264
00:19:00.329 --> 00:19:03.710
said if you're wondering if you're schizophrenic you're not a.

265
00:19:03.690 --> 00:19:05.849
Schizophrenic right exactly and I.

266
00:19:05.890 --> 00:19:07.269
Said oh okay.

267
00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:15.420
Gotcha wow that's wild in the days after you had

268
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.859
this experience did you notice anything out of the ordinary

269
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:24.549
in in dreams or stuff happening around where your home

270
00:19:24.589 --> 00:19:27.150
was anything out of the ordinary like that?

271
00:19:28.539 --> 00:19:33.180
No, no, I, I just, uh, I've lived careers. I've

272
00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:36.180
lived an entire career where you have to compartmentalize stuff.

273
00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:40.319
So at that point I was pretty good about compartmentalize.

274
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:45.609
Now I would probably say that the next couple of days,

275
00:19:46.369 --> 00:19:50.109
of course, you know, that, that, that was, it, It

276
00:19:50.150 --> 00:19:55.109
would surface a little bit and I would just just talk, man,

277
00:19:55.130 --> 00:19:58.079
just complete cognitive distance. I just I don't want nothing.

278
00:19:58.619 --> 00:19:59.960
OK. Wow.

279
00:20:00.059 --> 00:20:00.559
Fascinating.

280
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:05.779
Let's let's move on to to the the second part.

281
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:09.490
I know that it is. It's a little hard for you.

282
00:20:09.589 --> 00:20:10.750
It's hard for you to talk. And I want to

283
00:20:10.769 --> 00:20:13.990
make sure that you're able to share what you need to.

284
00:20:14.529 --> 00:20:21.539
Yeah. OK, so fast forward to the year and a

285
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:27.880
half ago, I I went to Florida. I've been all

286
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:34.019
over Florida with the exception of southwest Florida and as

287
00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:38.059
far as Everglades. I had never been to Everglades. So

288
00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:41.140
I decided to take a long weekend and I wanted

289
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.640
to go all around Florida and visit friends. But I

290
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.049
took a couple of days to go to the Everglades.

291
00:20:48.210 --> 00:20:52.690
And man, I'll tell you this about Everglades. I already

292
00:20:52.730 --> 00:20:59.789
had my brain wrapped around how vast it was. The

293
00:21:00.109 --> 00:21:06.279
Everglades is breathtakingly huge. So I go to this campground,

294
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.359
and this campground is, man, it's 7, 8, 10 miles

295
00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:16.440
from Everglades City, kind of out on Alligator Alley. I

296
00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:22.289
pull in there, okay? And there's a Bigfoot statue in

297
00:21:22.349 --> 00:21:27.109
front of this, and it says Skunk Ape Museum. And

298
00:21:28.109 --> 00:21:30.430
I was like, what? And I had to pull my

299
00:21:30.450 --> 00:21:34.390
phone out and check the reservation. the campground is behind

300
00:21:34.450 --> 00:21:38.529
this place. So, okay. Good, good campground. Go visit them.

301
00:21:38.650 --> 00:21:41.910
Great people. You know, Sheely something.

302
00:21:42.049 --> 00:21:43.789
Dave Sheely's place. Absolutely.

303
00:21:43.829 --> 00:21:48.529
It's a great place. Okay. Okay. Um, listen, anybody go

304
00:21:48.549 --> 00:21:53.470
visit them. Wonderful people. Great people. Um, bring bug spray.

305
00:21:54.579 --> 00:21:56.299
So anyway, I, okay.

306
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:56.720
Okay.

307
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.099
All right. So I'm like, what? And there's a big,

308
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:02.819
I'm sitting in the parking lot. I get out. And

309
00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:08.200
I'm thinking, what? There's Bigfoot down here? And I'll tell

310
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:16.309
you something. A guy comes out, okay? And he's in this,

311
00:22:18.250 --> 00:22:20.029
it's not a tank top, but the sleeves are cut off.

312
00:22:20.069 --> 00:22:22.809
You know, women's shirts or whatever. And he has this

313
00:22:22.910 --> 00:22:27.190
big Bigfoot, big black tattoo. I mean, this thing's like

314
00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:37.109
all over his shoulder and his arm. I started asking

315
00:22:37.130 --> 00:22:40.769
about these. Yeah. I said, have you ever seen one?

316
00:22:41.130 --> 00:22:43.890
He said, oh, yeah. Yeah, I've seen plenty of them

317
00:22:43.950 --> 00:22:47.190
all up the eastern coast. I'm like, okay. I go in,

318
00:22:47.250 --> 00:22:53.109
check in, you know. So in Everglades City, I get

319
00:22:53.150 --> 00:22:56.069
up one morning. I get up early. I snap open

320
00:22:56.410 --> 00:22:59.069
pretty early. I go to Everglades City because I just

321
00:22:59.089 --> 00:23:02.799
wanted some breakfast. In the center of their town, the roundabout,

322
00:23:03.700 --> 00:23:11.069
they have another Bigfoot statue right there. I'm like, now

323
00:23:11.109 --> 00:23:16.849
this is shocking. Florida? Florida? Okay. So I'm just, I

324
00:23:16.910 --> 00:23:22.609
said that to say this, it really, for about 12 months,

325
00:23:24.230 --> 00:23:30.049
it really, it started surfacing, that event. I had packed

326
00:23:30.109 --> 00:23:35.750
it away pretty good. But, Doing that, seeing that down there,

327
00:23:35.769 --> 00:23:39.170
it just started bringing a surface. So that's when I

328
00:23:39.210 --> 00:23:47.059
reached out to the other gentleman. And it was nice

329
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:50.559
to talk to him, get off my chest. But I

330
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:54.559
listened to a few of your episodes and a couple

331
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:56.900
other of these. And I said, you know, let me

332
00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:58.500
just let me let me tell a story.

333
00:24:02.410 --> 00:24:06.450
That is, that is fascinating. How was it, how, so

334
00:24:06.509 --> 00:24:08.349
it was just coming to your, back to your mind

335
00:24:08.450 --> 00:24:11.049
for 12 months or was it where things happening?

336
00:24:11.069 --> 00:24:14.109
It started surfacing. Yes. It just, it just nothing happened.

337
00:24:14.509 --> 00:24:18.349
And I will say this, um, I had always enjoyed hunting.

338
00:24:18.410 --> 00:24:21.609
I'm more of a bird hunter, but you know, I've

339
00:24:21.630 --> 00:24:25.170
hunted deer. I just really never went back in the

340
00:24:25.210 --> 00:24:30.029
woods after that encounter, but I don't, I don't, It

341
00:24:30.089 --> 00:24:33.250
wasn't really consciously, I'm never going back in the woods again.

342
00:24:33.309 --> 00:24:37.319
I guess it just worked out with work and everything.

343
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:42.940
I just never went hunting again. I don't know. It

344
00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:45.859
wasn't a conscious thing, maybe subconscious. I don't know. I

345
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:47.759
just want to put that out there. I don't know.

346
00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:57.490
But after doing that, it just kept surfacing. And it became...

347
00:24:58.549 --> 00:25:04.109
It didn't occupy my thoughts 24-7. It just would every

348
00:25:04.130 --> 00:25:07.069
now and then. And it started to become an itch

349
00:25:07.130 --> 00:25:14.170
that I had to scratch. I just wanted to tell somebody.

350
00:25:14.509 --> 00:25:18.069
That is really... First off, thank you for sharing that.

351
00:25:19.650 --> 00:25:22.650
If you start to look into northern Georgia, it is

352
00:25:22.730 --> 00:25:28.410
just an absolute hotbed of people experiencing things. similar to this.

353
00:25:28.890 --> 00:25:31.170
And I don't know, is that something where you started

354
00:25:31.230 --> 00:25:34.210
looking up the area and finding other accounts?

355
00:25:35.690 --> 00:25:40.190
No, I, I honestly haven't done a lot of looking

356
00:25:40.250 --> 00:25:50.710
into it, to be honest with you. I, again, I just, Georgia? I, I, I, what? Um,

357
00:25:51.859 --> 00:25:58.130
and I'll say this, that Kusawati, um, reservation whatever uh

358
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.460
resort they have rapids run through it and all that

359
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:06.000
and people can come in there and rent uh a

360
00:26:06.019 --> 00:26:08.440
day whatever and he said they didn't see him up

361
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.309
there and that was um that was a little shocking

362
00:26:11.329 --> 00:26:14.809
because i mean all i know is my mother my

363
00:26:14.829 --> 00:26:17.349
mother and stepdad's place and it was i mean they're

364
00:26:17.849 --> 00:26:19.730
they're worth a few hundred yards of each other on

365
00:26:19.769 --> 00:26:20.759
these mountains you know.

366
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:24.730
Oh, so you're saying Beccara from the museum, David Beccara,

367
00:26:24.829 --> 00:26:27.589
said he's also gotten reports from there? Wow, really?

368
00:26:27.809 --> 00:26:30.910
Correct. And he told me that. He said, I've had

369
00:26:30.990 --> 00:26:36.900
reports in there. And, okay, all right. I'll take your

370
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:43.799
word for that one. But there's plenty of woods, forests

371
00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:48.180
up there. I don't know. They come in at night

372
00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:52.140
to raid some garbage cans. Okay. Yeah. There's beer all

373
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:55.940
over the place. I mean, all over Kusawati Resort. Yeah.

374
00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:56.539
So there you go.

375
00:26:57.180 --> 00:26:58.039
Yeah. Yeah.

376
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:01.940
But your mother and chief have never had a sighting

377
00:27:02.289 --> 00:27:03.450
on the property, it sounds like.

378
00:27:04.029 --> 00:27:04.210
No.

379
00:27:04.430 --> 00:27:05.190
Okay. No.

380
00:27:05.970 --> 00:27:11.829
I guarantee you. I guarantee you, knowing them, that, oh,

381
00:27:12.150 --> 00:27:15.390
if that happened, I'd get the call first. Because I

382
00:27:15.410 --> 00:27:18.750
guarantee you, I guarantee you I'd do something about this.

383
00:27:18.769 --> 00:27:18.890
Yeah.

384
00:27:20.309 --> 00:27:23.170
Nothing I could do about it, you know, but yeah.

385
00:27:24.089 --> 00:27:26.170
Yeah, absolutely. I want to make sure that you were

386
00:27:26.259 --> 00:27:31.200
able to share everything that you had been wanting to

387
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:34.819
share regarding the encounter that you had in northern Georgia.

388
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:45.529
Yeah, I believe so. I, they, they, uh, his health, uh,

389
00:27:45.589 --> 00:27:49.369
went down pretty quick after that. So they really, I

390
00:27:49.390 --> 00:27:52.799
don't think spent a whole lot of time after that. If, uh,

391
00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:55.710
my memory is correct. Gotcha.

392
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.079
Well, first off, I think what you experienced is, is

393
00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:04.680
absolutely legitimate based on other things that I've heard from

394
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:08.640
the area. I will seriously be praying for you, Mike. Um,

395
00:28:09.750 --> 00:28:12.190
I don't know how much you know about my experience.

396
00:28:12.210 --> 00:28:16.160
I'm going through cancer right now. I'm about halfway through.

397
00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:18.700
I've only heard a few. Oh, man. Okay. Tema?

398
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:21.640
Yeah, so I'm going through that, but I gotta give

399
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:27.750
Mike a call. More importantly than any of this, how

400
00:28:27.849 --> 00:28:29.569
is your relationship with Jesus Christ?

401
00:28:31.410 --> 00:28:34.369
Yeah, it's pretty solid. Okay. Made by peace. It's solid. Yeah.

402
00:28:35.029 --> 00:28:35.720
OK, perfect.

403
00:28:35.849 --> 00:28:37.390
And you can go ahead and I don't care when

404
00:28:37.410 --> 00:28:39.569
you put this out. You put out today. I don't care.

405
00:28:39.849 --> 00:28:40.569
OK.

406
00:28:41.349 --> 00:28:49.609
Yeah. Yeah. I just. This thing was it was so shocking.

407
00:28:50.890 --> 00:28:57.269
And again, I know repeating like a record. This happened

408
00:28:57.289 --> 00:29:03.490
in Georgia. This was every bit of shocking as you know.

409
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:11.559
the experience itself because I, Georgia, I just figured, okay, yeah, cool.

410
00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:15.700
That'd be cool. Yeah. They probably exist in Pacific Northwest.

411
00:29:16.900 --> 00:29:20.039
And, you know, well, I'll, I'll tell you something. If

412
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:24.410
you really want to get a shock. Um, so the

413
00:29:24.430 --> 00:29:28.049
podcast has the website for his big foot society, podcast.com.

414
00:29:28.190 --> 00:29:32.349
And I put a map together where everyone I've talked

415
00:29:32.349 --> 00:29:36.569
to pretty much is on the Google map. more or less.

416
00:29:36.569 --> 00:29:40.640
It's over 1,000. So what that means is that just

417
00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:43.779
look up Georgia on that map, and you look up, man,

418
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:47.859
northern Georgia, northwest Georgia, even west of Atlanta, and it's

419
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:51.460
going to blow your mind how many different sightings are on, like,

420
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:54.440
you'll look at Georgia completely different. It's crazy.

421
00:29:56.140 --> 00:29:59.910
So let me say this, and I'll give you an example.

422
00:30:00.130 --> 00:30:00.250
Mm-hmm.

423
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:06.319
Most people, they cannot wrap their mind around how big

424
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:11.160
our forest is, even Americans, much less, you know, other people.

425
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.299
And people even, you know, I understand, you know, Rob,

426
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:17.619
we respect the hunters. They say, oh, I've been in

427
00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:21.779
the woods all my life. Okay. But let's break that

428
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:24.259
part down. You go to a hunting stand at a

429
00:30:24.259 --> 00:30:28.400
certain location. It's a routine, you know, with all due

430
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:34.710
respect for woodsmen. So, man, I just lost my train

431
00:30:34.730 --> 00:30:41.549
of thought. Oh, if you don't think that you could

432
00:30:41.589 --> 00:30:47.240
be undetected, there's a story out of, I believe, Maine, Vermont.

433
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:50.220
I think it's Maine. There was a guy that went

434
00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:53.990
into the woods for like 20 years. He would come

435
00:30:54.029 --> 00:30:58.569
into town and steal from these cabins, but all he

436
00:30:58.589 --> 00:31:00.029
would take is necessity.

437
00:31:00.150 --> 00:31:01.109
Yes, Maine.

438
00:31:03.170 --> 00:31:10.240
Maine, okay. You know, that guy right there, they looked

439
00:31:10.259 --> 00:31:13.220
for him for 20 years, I believe. He come out

440
00:31:13.259 --> 00:31:17.440
of that when they finally caught him not even speaking

441
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:21.720
well after not talking to another person yet. And I

442
00:31:21.740 --> 00:31:25.660
believe like one or two people happened to just run

443
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:28.700
across him, didn't know who he was. But other than that,

444
00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:32.079
20 years, man. But I said that to say this,

445
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:38.059
you know, absolutely. It's possible. You know, these things don't

446
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:39.259
want to be found. They're not going to be found.

447
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:45.000
Absolutely, man. It's just, it, it blows my mind every time,

448
00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:49.480
you know, I realize how, you know, we talked about

449
00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:55.490
the Pacific Northwest and, and, If listeners get out there

450
00:31:55.990 --> 00:31:58.190
and you fly over it and you realize, man, there's

451
00:31:58.210 --> 00:32:02.390
like acres and acres of stuff that probably humans have

452
00:32:02.410 --> 00:32:04.589
never even been in. And it's just like, yeah, of course,

453
00:32:04.650 --> 00:32:06.890
something could hide out there. It's crazy.

454
00:32:07.049 --> 00:32:07.390
Agreed.

455
00:32:08.009 --> 00:32:09.210
Crazy stuff, man.

456
00:32:09.490 --> 00:32:11.529
With all due respect to people who live in the city,

457
00:32:12.069 --> 00:32:16.690
you know, they tend to dismiss this. They just don't know.

458
00:32:18.650 --> 00:32:23.720
Oh, yeah. And as the city's... they're actually, they're experiencing

459
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.500
this out in Georgia too, based on some conversations I've

460
00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:32.589
had as Atlanta grows further East and more and more

461
00:32:32.690 --> 00:32:36.529
bigger things get put in, they're starting to experience a

462
00:32:36.569 --> 00:32:40.309
lot more, um, uh, Bigfoot activity in those towns that

463
00:32:40.349 --> 00:32:43.910
are springing up, um, on the outskirts of Atlanta. It's

464
00:32:43.990 --> 00:32:46.839
wild stuff, but it, you know, as we go further

465
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.559
into nature, there's going to be, there's going to be

466
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:50.400
some stuff to happen.

467
00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:53.329
So it's, Yeah. It's wild stuff. I'll take your word

468
00:32:53.369 --> 00:32:55.569
for it. I don't have my finger on the pulse

469
00:32:55.970 --> 00:32:59.160
of this space, you know?

470
00:32:59.539 --> 00:32:59.799
Oh, yeah.

471
00:33:00.059 --> 00:33:08.460
But, yeah. Yeah. I tell you, on the news the

472
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:12.269
other day, I can't remember where it was. It might

473
00:33:12.289 --> 00:33:14.609
have been up near you. There was a lion and

474
00:33:14.630 --> 00:33:15.329
a cub on the loose.

475
00:33:16.430 --> 00:33:19.730
Oh, yeah. It's Indiana, allegedly.

476
00:33:19.849 --> 00:33:24.380
Okay. Yeah. I... I'd love to hear that 911 call.

477
00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:27.799
You know what I mean? Oh, I know. Because of

478
00:33:28.859 --> 00:33:31.420
him trying to convince the dispatcher he wasn't drunk or high.

479
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:34.670
So I said that to say this. I'm going to

480
00:33:34.690 --> 00:33:38.109
tell you. I wish I saw a lion in a cub.

481
00:33:39.910 --> 00:33:43.829
I mean, that would have been 100 times better and

482
00:33:43.849 --> 00:33:47.710
believable than what I saw, if that even makes sense

483
00:33:47.730 --> 00:33:47.930
to you.

484
00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:52.589
Exactly. And it's a great example of how something can

485
00:33:52.980 --> 00:33:56.410
remain hidden and hard to find. They're actually experiencing a

486
00:33:56.450 --> 00:34:03.250
similar thing on far western Alaska. And what's happening is

487
00:34:03.430 --> 00:34:09.309
these hunters are, they're saying, we're seeing tiger tracks over here.

488
00:34:10.349 --> 00:34:14.380
And They're so elusive because if you look at the map,

489
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.619
Russia is so close to Alaska in parts is that

490
00:34:17.780 --> 00:34:19.739
what they think is happening is the tigers are coming

491
00:34:19.780 --> 00:34:22.820
from Russia to Alaska. And then these hunters are like,

492
00:34:23.099 --> 00:34:25.300
I'm telling you, I'm seeing something out here and they're

493
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:28.889
kind of getting laughed at. But I mean, it's just

494
00:34:29.219 --> 00:34:32.869
really creatures, even big creatures can hide out there. It's

495
00:34:32.889 --> 00:34:34.829
another good example of what you were talking about.

496
00:34:35.070 --> 00:34:38.670
Yeah. Yeah. I just call it like I see it.

497
00:34:38.969 --> 00:34:42.820
You know, I'm a, I've been a very level headed, sober, um,

498
00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:50.059
pragmatic individual, um, regards to paranormal stuff. Look, that's never

499
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:54.019
been my cup of tea. I've never followed that, but

500
00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:58.039
I've said this in the past. I, I, I come

501
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.639
short of dismissing that. I, you know, there's things that

502
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:03.820
we don't know about. Okay. And I just try not

503
00:35:03.860 --> 00:35:08.940
to poopoo all over, you know, other people's whatever. And

504
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:11.230
now more than ever, I get it.

505
00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:14.539
I get it for sure. It's, uh, the more you

506
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:19.900
look into it, uh, the more things you notice and, and, uh, yeah, it's,

507
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:24.219
it can get pretty wild, but, uh, Mike, I want

508
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:26.480
to say thank you for reaching out to me, uh,

509
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:31.489
earlier this morning. And, um, I, I appreciate you, uh,

510
00:35:32.949 --> 00:35:37.570
trusting me with, uh, with what you experienced, uh, that,

511
00:35:37.710 --> 00:35:40.489
that means a lot that you were able to, to

512
00:35:40.530 --> 00:35:45.960
come forward and to, uh, trust, uh, this podcast to

513
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:49.619
document it. And, uh, I, I don't take that for granted.

514
00:35:49.659 --> 00:35:50.099
Thank you, sir.

515
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:54.500
I appreciate it. I just want to make this clear. Um,

516
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:58.840
that the owner of that Bigfoot museum, which I, I've

517
00:35:58.900 --> 00:36:02.309
drove past a couple of times and looked at it

518
00:36:02.329 --> 00:36:06.639
and went, I just remember, uh, Yeah. You know, OK,

519
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:10.360
that's there. I want to thank that owner. What's his

520
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:10.800
name again?

521
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:13.070
His name is David Becker. He's a great guy.

522
00:36:13.590 --> 00:36:17.309
Yeah. I want to thank him personally. He took his time.

523
00:36:17.909 --> 00:36:20.150
He took time out of his own whatever. Oh, yeah.

524
00:36:20.469 --> 00:36:24.190
And I'm sure it's a great place, you know, and also,

525
00:36:24.389 --> 00:36:29.179
you know, that place down in South Florida, you know,

526
00:36:29.340 --> 00:36:33.659
good people. Go camp there, whatever. Thank you. I really

527
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:37.500
appreciate you letting me put this out there. Absolutely.

528
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:40.860
