25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm Josh Clark with me as always a Charles W.

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: Chuck Bryant and um that makes this stuff. You should

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: know the podcast. A right, is that a wookie? That

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: is me messing with Sasquatch? It sounded more like, um,

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Frankenstein from starright Live. I remember that. I love that

30
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: frankast Panto and Tarzan Tarzan classic skit. Have you seen

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: the commercials Messing with Sasquatch? Yeah, Jack Links, it's pretty funny. Yeah,

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: all of them are. It's one of my favorite spots. Actually,

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: well it contradicts, um, I witness reports that paint Bigfoot

34
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: is kind of a benign, shy creature. Now as far

35
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: as Jack Links is concerned, he goes a gro when you, um,

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: when you mess with him. I guess that's what it is.

37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: So I have an actual intro for this one. All right,

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: let's here, we're talking Bigfoot and very recently there's some

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: enormous huge news um and um, we should probably preface

40
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: this one like, if you are a skeptic, don't worry,

41
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna give your side of this too. But we

42
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: have found over the years that UM, it's very respectful

43
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: to give voice to both sides. We try to and UM,

44
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: we're not insulting you by speaking the other person's side.

45
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: Will express your side as well, and when we do that,

46
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: we're not insulting the other side. And at the end

47
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: of the day, it's about Bigfoot. So let's not get

48
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: so worked up. Calm down, you know, it's all just fun.

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: There's a a self professed veterinarian with twenty seven years

50
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: experience including forensics named um Dr Melba Catchum Melba s

51
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: catchum and she supposedly she claims got her hands on

52
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: some UH samples of Bigfoot hair and has been testing

53
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: it do running genetic tests on it, and recently announced

54
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: and wrote a paper that's under puer view as it

55
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: stands now, UM that she she managed to isolate three

56
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: separate nuclear um d NA. Okay, that that came from

57
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: three separate groups. So one is the nuclear DNA. Remember,

58
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: so you have UM. Nuclear DNA is the mixture of

59
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: the mothers and the father's DNA. Mitochondrial DNA is strictly

60
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: from the mother. So the researcher found the nuclear DNA

61
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: came from a human Bigfoot, which is a hybrid of

62
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: the human and this third species and non human species

63
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: doesn't know what it is yet, but supposedly that's what

64
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: this hair sample showed. Then this is just now right, Yeah,

65
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: I believe they made this announcement like in late November,

66
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: early December, which is now under peer review. It is

67
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: under peer review. That doesn't mean that it's going to

68
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: pass peer review, but she submitted the paper for peer review. Um. Now,

69
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: she said that the the mitochondrial DNA in the sample

70
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: was human, which means that this third thing, Bigfoot, is

71
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: the product of a female woman and a this non

72
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: human species, the mystery species reproducing and forming Bigfoot. And

73
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: she says that she isolated it to about fifteen thousand

74
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: years ago. Now, anybody who's followed Dr Ketchum's career can

75
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: poke holes all in this. There was apparently I read

76
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: an early draft of the paper that she said this third,

77
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: this third um species was an angel and people skeptics

78
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: love beating up on people like this. But my hat

79
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: is off to her for first of all, undergoing this

80
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: using the scientific method to root out um the unexplained.

81
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: That's extremely forty in nature and I love that stuff um.

82
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: And then secondly to put it up for peer of

83
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: view and to face that that kind of criticism. One

84
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: of the big problems that she she isn't saying like

85
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: where this sample, how she knows this is a sample

86
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: of Bigfoot's DNA. She didn't say where she got it,

87
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: not that not that I could find. And I actually

88
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: saw in one article that she's not saying where it,

89
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: where it came from. So there's a lot of holes

90
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: in it. But if you wanted big current bigfoot news,

91
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: that's about as big as it gets. That's right. Uh,

92
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: not quite as current as our our own law officer

93
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: here in Georgia. Is that last year the year before

94
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: the one up in the North Grogia. Yeah, man with

95
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: with his freezer, I didn't follow that very close. I'm

96
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and say that I really want to

97
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: believe in Bigfoot or not want to believe. I want to.

98
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: I want there to be a Bigfoot. I don't think

99
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: there is that means you want to believe in, but

100
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: I still want to. I want to believe it's out there,

101
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: because it's just it would be so cool. And whenever,

102
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: when when I saw that story, the sheriff and I

103
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: think he's a sheriff or deputy in North Georgia. It

104
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: was a hoax, of course, but he said he had

105
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: a body in a freezer and they showed pictures of this.

106
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: Uh ah, what you know? It was a guerrilla suit, right,

107
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: that's what ended up being with and it had guts,

108
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: had like animal entrails, but it looked like initially like,

109
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: oh man, that looks like a dead bigfoot, and then

110
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: you look closer and it's like a suit that you

111
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: can get online. I wish I had that kind of

112
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: time to do stuff like that. Yeah, apparently portrayed hoax.

113
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: Apparently they were trying to try drum up, but potential

114
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: business for leading big foot tours in North Georgia. It's

115
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: a sound way to do it until you get found

116
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: out and then ultimately either retire or get fired. Could

117
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: still work. Oh well, okay he lost his day job,

118
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: is what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, you can't do stuff

119
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: like that. If you're a cop, you can't pull a hoax. Now,

120
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: you can't pull a hoax and try and snow people

121
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: for money. That's not that's not legal. I don't know

122
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: that it is illegal to uh to snow people for money,

123
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: to promise them something that's not true and charge This

124
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: guy says that you call it fraud, No, it's a hoax.

125
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: There's a big difference between fraud and hoax people. If

126
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: he had the business, it would be fraud. No. That

127
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: would be like if he promised that you were going

128
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: to see Bigfoot, not a big Foot tour, but he

129
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: said you're gonna see Bigfoot on this tour and he didn't,

130
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: then you could get him for fraud. I think you

131
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: would still be fraud if he founded that business and

132
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: advertise it on a s premise, which is I found

133
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: this thing. Look at it. Yeah, I see your point. Yeah,

134
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about Bigfoot. This guy up in North

135
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: Georgia is pretty far from the only person to pull

136
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: a declared Bigfoot hoax. Um. What keeps this thing going

137
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: is that there's some stuff out there that's considered this

138
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: body of evidence of big Foot's existence that hasn't been

139
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: definitively debunked and right. One of the other things that

140
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: I think people who are believers in Bigfoot, like the

141
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: ones that are out there like looking for Bigfoot and

142
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: believe in Bigfoot. One of the things that keeps them

143
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: going also is this correlation between Bigfoot sightings among people

144
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: of European descent and big Foot legends of Native American

145
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: tribes long before the Europeans ever got here. And if

146
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: you um, if you look at the names of that

147
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: these different tribes have and take a step back, you're like, Wow,

148
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: these tribes were all over the place. There, somewhere in

149
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest, somewhere in Florida, somewhere in Um, the north,

150
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: northeastern United States, and eastern Canada, and all of them

151
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: have this weird um tall giant hairy man legend that

152
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: they have a name for UM, even though they're you know,

153
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: geographically scattered all over the place. And it's possible that

154
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: they these all of these different Um legends share a

155
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: single common ancestor that it's further back, maybe located on

156
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: the steps of Eurasia, but it's also kind of noteworthy

157
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: that they all have different legends for it. Him Alay

158
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: is even the yetty incominable snowman in Asia very popular UM.

159
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: Apparently you hear that one more than you see it. Yeah,

160
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: which I didn't know. But we should call this thing

161
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: sasquatch because that is the most common name they use nowadays.

162
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: And um, even though some of the names from Native

163
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: American tribes when day go yeah, yeah, that's correct, ohma,

164
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: rugaru and books is some of the names that this

165
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: has gone by Native American lord, but sashquatch, shash squatch

166
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: comes from I have no idea how to pronounce that.

167
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: It looks like sess shock anyway, that that word in

168
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: another word from the area around British Columbia were similar

169
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: enough that in the nineteen twenties, white school teacher named J. W.

170
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: Burns coined the term sasquatch. And it's basically it's the

171
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: umbrella term for any big foot like man, right, so

172
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: we should. Even though these sightings have varied in their

173
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: description over the years, there a few hallmarks that pop up.

174
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: One is that this is a tall beast between seven

175
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: and fifteen feet, which is that enormous. Yeah, I haven't

176
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: most of the ones I've heard of between like seven

177
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 1: or eight feet. Have you seen the troll hunter? I

178
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: saw that recently. Actually, that first troll that they watched

179
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: the guy s happen turing this tone. That thing was

180
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: about fifteen ft tall. That's huge. Yeah, that was a

181
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: pretty good movie. I'd buy ten ft no way, no way. Yeah.

182
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: Did you like the movie was excellent? Yeah? I kind

183
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: of got it kind of wore on me towards the end.

184
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was a little long, but it was

185
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Yeah, and the imagination that it used was

186
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: just beautiful. Totally agreed. Un people, Um it walks on

187
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: two legs, that's a big one. Was that bipedal? That

188
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: what they say? Um, it's upright and has a loping gate. Um,

189
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: he's seeing the elf right the movie Elf. Yeah, the

190
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: one shot where they mimic the uh, the famous sixteen

191
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: millimeter film where it's so it's Will Ferrell and Central

192
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: Park and they like have that from frame three fifty

193
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: two of the sixteen millimeter film. It's pretty funny. So

194
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell's doing sens. Yeah, it says like, you know,

195
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: the strange Elf was seen wandering through Central Park and

196
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: they mimic that. Yeah Frell. Yeah, it was very good.

197
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Um and then long reddish fur that's a big one,

198
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: reddish brown. That's and that's really interesting that it's um,

199
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: that Sasquatch is typically described as having long, reddish brown fur. Ye,

200
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: that's a really specific thing for everybody report. And again

201
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: it's possible that like people have heard other reports and said,

202
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, that's what they're expecting to see or that's

203
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: what they're reporting because that's what Sasquatch has. But it's

204
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: still it's significant. Um, you said that the YETI uh

205
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: was more heard than seen. Bigfoot is usually more seen

206
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: than heard. But when Bigfoot is heard, um that he

207
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: makes gurgling noises, howling noises, noises that sound totally alien

208
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: to the people reporting it. Yeah. I've heard weird noises

209
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: in the woods camping all my life, and I've never thought, oh,

210
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: that's a big Foot. I just think that's just something

211
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: some animal making a strange sound that I've never heard

212
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: because you live in the city, that's right. Uh. Supposedly

213
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: this uh Sasquatch also has sort of a man like face,

214
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: and reports from either being really really really smelly to

215
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: not smelling at all. Oh yeah, that's not in this article.

216
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: I forgot about how smelly Bigfoot is supposed to be.

217
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: I've heard that many times. Um. They're also supposedly very

218
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: wary of people, but also at the same time intensely

219
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: curious about us. Um and Uh. A lot of people

220
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: who have made eyewitness reports say that they weren't scared,

221
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: which is weird. Yeah. Most people say that, like, I

222
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: didn't feel threatened, right, and that kind of jibes with um.

223
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: Most Native Americans legends about Bigfoot that it was Um,

224
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: it's a a benign creature. Uh, and often it's it

225
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: has intellect and um, it's given spiritual powers in Native

226
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: American lore. So it wasn't something to be afraid of. Sasquatches,

227
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: your friend. Yeah. Uh, they usually are by themselves, but

228
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: there have been reports of several of these sasquatches hanging

229
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: out together and chatting. Yeah, but for the most part

230
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: they're usually alone. Right. Um. So you put all this

231
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: together and you've got like a pretty good common It's

232
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: like the A. K. C. Breed for sasquatch. These are

233
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: its characteristics. I love it, Okay. Um. If you take

234
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: this at at face value, which you should. Sure if

235
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: you're a skeptic, you should always look at things at

236
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: face value, not just immediately dismissed her poop po it. Yeah,

237
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: trying to get to the bottom of it. And that's

238
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: what we're about to do now. The first question is, um,

239
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: could a creature that matches this description possibly exists? Yeah,

240
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: And it's important when considering this to point out that

241
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: we'd have never despite all the sightings and little still

242
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: shots and film clips and audio clips, there's never been

243
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: any conclusive evidence. They've never found bones, but that's huge

244
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Um, a lot of footprints and

245
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So moving forward, could this exist perhaps

246
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: in the giganto Pithecus, right, because that's a creature that

247
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: that actually did exist at some point. And it says

248
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: here in the article that the gigant epithecis Pipthecus, which

249
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: is the largest primate in the fossil record, lived between

250
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: one and nine million years ago. Actually, I saw an

251
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: article that had updated that to about a hundred thousand

252
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: years ago, which meant that humans and Gigantapipthecus lived side

253
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: by side. Have you seen this thing I have looks

254
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: like a big foot, um, you know, yeah, And then like, oh, well,

255
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: I guess if someone saw that in the woods, I

256
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: would think it was a sasquad um. It lived in

257
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: Southeast Asia or in Central Asia, and it's a relative

258
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: of the orangutane. Yeah, big time. So it looks a

259
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: lot like one. Yeah, this is all extremely interesting stuff

260
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: in case you didn't know. Because orangutans, for starters, have

261
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: reddish hair, reddish orange hair, so that's one connection to

262
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: gigant Epithecus. Yeah. They've got the long arms like that. Yeah. Um.

263
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: They walked up right about ten feet tall, usually about

264
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: twelve pounds um. And if since orangutans are the closest

265
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: modern relative of gigant Epithecus it um, it makes sense

266
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: to kind of look at them, look at their behavior.

267
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: Does it match bigfoot stuff? Yeah? They have teeth similar

268
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: to humans, so that could account a little bit for

269
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: the man like look that people often talk about. Uh.

270
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: Make occasionally will make a loud howling calls. Uh that

271
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: sound odd to other orangutans. Another thing that kind of

272
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: separates them too, aside from being um Asian whereas most

273
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: primates are African um, is that they tend to live

274
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: solitary lives, so they don't aggregate in groups. They live

275
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: by themselves mostly. Okay, so chalk one up for the

276
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: big foot enthusiasts. Again, they're like, okay, well that's it's

277
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: gigant epithekus. Uh, they live a long time, and because

278
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: they are widely dispersed, they may not even see other

279
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: orangon tangs for many long stretches. So of course they

280
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: may not see a human either exactly. You know. And

281
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: if they're intellectual or if they have intellect um, as

282
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: people who believe in bigfoot like to point out, they

283
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: would be able to successfully hide from humans probably sure,

284
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: especially if their habitat was the woods and the mountains. Um.

285
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: And so you put all that together, that they have

286
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: a long lifespan, meaning there's not a lot of them

287
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: dying frequently. They live, they're spread out population wise, and

288
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: they tend to live in remote geographic regions. That if

289
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: you add all that up, it's a pretty good reason

290
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: why you wouldn't have found any bones. Yes, because bones

291
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: candy k and the wild like that between five and

292
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: ten years and um, the author of this was this

293
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: the grabster. This is Tom Harris. I'm Harris. He's a

294
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: good one. Um. He points out that that people have

295
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: never gone on bigfoot bone hunting expeditions, so like people

296
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: aren't looking for these things, so they may not have

297
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: found him. Well, yeah, there is a guy actually who's

298
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: um looking for Bigfoot, his Idaho State anthropology professor, and

299
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: he has his crowdsourcing blimp to hunt for Bigfoot with

300
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: thermal imaging cameras and stuff like that. And he's three

301
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: and if you're interested in it, you can check out

302
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: that I thought it was. But he's got his own

303
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: website called Falcon Project UM and that's what he's trying

304
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: to do with it. So there is at least one

305
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: person trying to do a rigorous scientific hunt for Bigfoot.

306
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: But and then there's all kinds of groups looking right. Yeah,

307
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: there's even a show on Animal Planet, one of our

308
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: h Discovery Channel stay stations, one of our I would

309
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: call it a sister station, but I'm not a station

310
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: one of our colleagues, and it's, uh, what's it called

311
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Finding Bigfoot? And these people are out there hunting Bigfoot.

312
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: And I've even watched bits of it because I just

313
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: think it's cool and interesting and uh, it's kind of

314
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: a fun little show. So I recommend it. And weren't

315
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: we weren't even asked to plug that. I'm just plugging it.

316
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: You know. Um, do you have a possible link between

317
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: the orangutan um right and big Foot? And that link

318
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: might be a gigant Epithecus. Question is still remaining. Um,

319
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: how did gigant Epithekis get here? Uh? Well, we walked

320
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: over the Uh was it the land bridge bearing land bridge? Yes, yeah,

321
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: just like we did not you and me. But you know,

322
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: well that's one theory. Um. But the the big problem here, Chuck,

323
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: is the absence of proof doesn't prove anything. The fact

324
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: that we haven't found bones. Even though you can explain it,

325
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: we still haven't found any bones, and it doesn't mean

326
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: that something exists, and that's a it's a big problem

327
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: in this debate. You can also point to, though very happily,

328
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: the Ceila cant right. Uh. The Ceila canth was thought

329
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: to have gone extinct sixty million years ago. It's a fish,

330
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: I thought you have gone extinct in the late Cretaceous period,

331
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: and then they found it swimming off the coast of Africa.

332
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: So you can point to that and say it's entirely

333
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: possible that Gigantapithekis survived somehow and we just didn't know. Yeah,

334
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: and scientists are They'll point out that there are all

335
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: kinds of creatures that are still undiscovered, but most of

336
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: them are sea creatures. And that makes sense too, because

337
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: we don't spend very much time under the sea, No

338
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: we don't, um, whereas you know, we spend a decent

339
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: amount of time in the woods. Um. Okay, So if

340
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: you're a skeptic, everything we just said probably made the

341
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: hair on the back of your neck bristle in irritation.

342
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: And here's why, because, like we said, the absence of

343
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: proof doesn't prove anything. Sure, um, And it's entirely possible

344
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: that all of this evidence, this body of evidence, Um,

345
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: it's just basically a bunch of independent hoaxters fooling a

346
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: bunch of people over time. Yea or uh, innocent mistaken identity.

347
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: They're not all hoaxters. Some people have perhaps gotten confused

348
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: about things, said, boy, that mangie bear doesn't look right.

349
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: It's standing up on its back legs too. Or the

350
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: recent photo that was that still image captured at night

351
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: and that's what they said it was was a mangie bear.

352
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: But that thing was kind of weird looking. Yeah, it

353
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: was like a night image shot and it was on

354
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: it was on four leg or four you know, I

355
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: don't know if their arms or what, um, and you know,

356
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: it looked odd. But they you know, they explained it

357
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: away as a mangie bear. Um. But yeah, lots of

358
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: hoaxes over the years. Yeah. And if you go into

359
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: the woods and you're even the least bit familiar with

360
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: any kind of big foot loor and you see something

361
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: that's that possibly fits it, you may be the victim

362
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: of wishful thinking or being impressionable or what have you. Yeah,

363
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: that's a that's a pretty good accusation a skeptical level

364
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: against somebody who reports a big foot siding. And the first, um,

365
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: an easiest way to hoax someone, to pull a hoax

366
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: on someone is the old fake footprint. Yeah, not too

367
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: hard to do. You make a fake foot you wear

368
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: it on your feet, and you perhaps run along in

369
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: the woods, maybe lope, maybe leap to make the footsteps,

370
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, the gate correct um, and then you make

371
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: a plaster mold of it. The problem with these is

372
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: there's in so many over the years that it's like

373
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: clear that they're hoaxes. Because this one is two toes,

374
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: this one has claws, this one has eight toes. And

375
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: you know there are people aren't getting together on these

376
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: and making them consistent. Um. Probably the most contentious bit

377
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: of Bigfoot evidence was that sixteen millimeter film you mentioned

378
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: that was made in nine seven by a guy named

379
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: Roger Patterson, the Patterson Gimblin Film, and it's from Bluff Creek, California,

380
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: and basically it shows Bigfoot walking across basically a clearing

381
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: into the woods, and Bigfoot is aware that he's being watched,

382
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: and he turns and looks at the camera. Like he said,

383
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell didn't help um. And I remember years ago

384
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: like watching this and when I was back in my

385
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: time life books phase like I'll believe anything, just tell

386
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: me um. And they were saying that one of the

387
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: reasons that this thing was so convincing that it was

388
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: Bigfoot was that and he looked over his shoulder. Rather

389
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: than looking with just his head, just turning his head,

390
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: Bigfoot turns his whole shoulder and torso along with this head,

391
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: which is something that a primate would likely do, and

392
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: non human primate, I should say, or someone in an

393
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: ape suit, we should possibly that's another possibility to They

394
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: also point out that bigfoots walking with his knees bent

395
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: in this that's another sure sign of primate, whereas I

396
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: did that today. By the way, it is it hard, Well,

397
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: it's not the easiest thing, but what it makes you

398
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: do is sort of lope along with a kind of

399
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: a funny gate, a loping gate. Yeah yeah, um, that's

400
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: That's something that bigfoot enthusiast point too, is that this

401
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: thing was walking with knees bent um. And I didn't

402
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: realize this until I read this in the article. But

403
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: humans lock their knees with each step. We don't walk

404
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: with our knees bent um. And then also the lastly

405
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: that the creatures fur is clearly rippling, like the skin

406
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: beneath his rippling, and like some costume, some ape suit

407
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: isn't going to do that on its own. Put all

408
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: this together, and if you're a big foot believer, this

409
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: is irrefutable evidence that there's such thing as Bigfoot. If

410
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: you're skeptic, you can shoot a hole in all of

411
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: the can't you sure? Um? Since this film came out

412
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: in seven it's been like the most reviewed and made

413
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: fun of or backed piece of evidence ever for Bigfoot

414
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: or Sasquatch and um. Roger Patterson, it turns out, was

415
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: making trying to make a movie about Bigfoot. Yeah, so

416
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't just some guy out there that happened to

417
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: have a camera. He was trying to put together a film. Um.

418
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: Since this has come out, there have been various people.

419
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: One guy came out and said, you know what, I

420
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: made the suit for him. He paid me a thousand

421
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: bucks to make him the suit. Well, the guy who

422
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: supposedly did make the suit is never admitted to. Well,

423
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys that's not the same guy.

424
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: There's Chambers, and then there's this other dude. They aren't

425
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: the same people. That's why it's it's kind of hinky

426
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 1: because multiple people have claimed they made the suit. This

427
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: one guy says that he was the guy in the suit,

428
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: and Um, but his suit story didn't match up with

429
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: the guy who claimed he made the suit did match

430
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: up with his suit story. But then people said, you

431
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: know what, Patterson could have altered that original suit to

432
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: match the guy who said he was in the suit.

433
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: Then there's Chambers, who other people say it made the suit,

434
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: but he says he didn't make the suit. Well, it's

435
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: like a long standing Hollywood rumor that actually John Landis,

436
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: the director of American Werewolf in London. UM came out

437
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: and and and said, yeah, this is true. Um, when

438
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: he was a young pup. He was working at one

439
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: of the studios and he became friends with John Chambers,

440
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: who did the ape suits for Planet of the Apes,

441
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: which came out right around that time. Right, Um and uh.

442
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: He had heard that Chambers had done this, and he'd

443
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: befriended Chambers and said, yes, it's true. This is John Chambers.

444
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: And Chambers never has never taken credit for it. It's

445
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: never come out and said yeah, I did it. But

446
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: if you ask the average special effects guy or makeup

447
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: guy these days, if you show them that, they're like, yes,

448
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: this is ape suit. There's a water bag underneath that's

449
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: making the skin ripple. Um. And I like that's a guy.

450
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: That's a man. Right, I'll watched it again today, like

451
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: five times. Yeah. I mean too, it's really neat. Yeah,

452
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of fun. I mean just the detail they

453
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: went into, like the the crooked legs, the bent knees. Yeah,

454
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: the shaky cam like it looked like someone scared and

455
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: discovering something. Yeah, it's it's perfect. If it's a fraud,

456
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: it is perfect because think about it. The thing was

457
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: shot in nineteen seven. It's two thirteen and people are

458
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: still debating whether or not it's authentic. Oh yeah, and

459
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: it's it's gone through lots of rigorous testing by people

460
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: that study whether or not the film was tampered, and

461
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: they have determined that nothing was tampered post shooting, like

462
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: if it was anything that was a dude in ape

463
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: suit and they really went out there in the woods

464
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: and shot it. Uh. But like I said, this is

465
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: all just kind of fun to me. People get so

466
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: worked up over this. I don't get it, you know. Yeah,

467
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: what's the harm unless someone's like defrauding people out of money?

468
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: You know. Um, there are people who dedicate their rears

469
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: to this. There's a woman named um Kathy Moscowitz Strain,

470
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: and she is a forest archaeologist for the U. S

471
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: Forestry Service who basically became an anthropologist and an archaeologist

472
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: so that she could hunt for Bigfoot. And she's very

473
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: respected even among skeptics who counter all of her arguments. Um,

474
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: but she is very much searching for Bigfoot and has

475
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: been for many years, and she believes or just wants

476
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of it. She believes that

477
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 1: there's a Bigfoot, that there's another species out there, some

478
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: primate species that is what we call sasquatch her bigfoot. Yeah,

479
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: the arguments against Like, to me, if you can't say

480
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: something like, well, somebody would have definitely seen it like

481
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: by now and proven it, Like you just can't say that,

482
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: like the Pacific Northwest is so vast that an animal

483
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: could probably hide if there was only a few of

484
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: them left from people, you know. But on the other hand,

485
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: you also like can't say it exists because of this

486
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: these hoaxes and these sounds, and like you need some

487
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: sort of like scientific evidence. Bones, bones would help. You

488
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: do need that unless you're just enjoying thinking about it. Yeah. Um.

489
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: Another thing you can enjoy that's kind of related is

490
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: watching the Ministry Science Theater three thousand of the Legend

491
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: of Boggy Creek. To see that one. It's arguably the

492
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: best episode that Oh my god, it's hilarious. Strong statement,

493
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: but it's related. It's a based on a big foot

494
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: like creature. Yeah. Yeah, Well, Tom points out to that

495
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: the reason people want to believe in stuff like this

496
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: is the same reason some people want to believe in aliens.

497
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: Um that like the sense of adventure is seemingly lost

498
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: these days. There's nothing new to discover, and God if

499
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: we could just discover a big foot, that would be

500
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: so huge and so monumental. Um, and I get that.

501
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: That's probably why I want to believe. You know, it

502
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: would rock the world of science. Oh it totally one.

503
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: But then we put it in a zoo. Yeah, poke

504
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: it with electricity, we humans. Yeah. Um, all right, well,

505
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: uh let's see if you want to learn more about bigfoot,

506
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: you can type that word into the search part how

507
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: stuff works. Um, there's an adorable picture of a baby

508
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:25,040

543
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: all right, listener Marlton, I'm gonna call this, uh, I

544
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: don't even remember what this was, Oh meth showers, Josh

545
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: Chuck and Jerry A k A L. Chuck Tran. My

546
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: name is Jimmy Griffith from Leon or South North Carolina

547
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: or Linois. I'm not sure. I'm originally born in Brazil.

548
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: A relatively young listener, and after listening to how Meth

549
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: Works reminded me of a story from my college days.

550
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: I used to know these identical twin brothers that went

551
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: to Appalachian State with me. You know what goes on

552
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: in that school? Yeah, they beat Michigan with a bunch

553
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: of hippies, bunch party kids at friends that went there.

554
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: At one time, one of them was having unexplained hallucinations,

555
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: see what I mean, and other weird psychological issues. That

556
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: twin with hallucinations feared that he might have schizophrenia, but

557
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: that did not make sense since this identical twin did

558
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: not share the symptoms. As I understand, if one had

559
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: the disorder, the other would also have it since they

560
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: are identical, and that's right, that's true. It's probably like

561
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: a percentage fail. Don't think it's automatic um. After dealing

562
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: with his issue for a little while, the twin with

563
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: hallucinations decide to see a doctor and, after running a

564
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: few blood tests, tested positive for meth This made no

565
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: sense since he had never used meth um. After a

566
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: few questions about the daily routine, they found out that

567
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: most of what they did was similar, except one of

568
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: the twins preferred to take baths, the one suffering hallucinations,

569
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: and the other preferred showers. Uh. This led to further

570
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: investigation of the rental house they lived in. They found

571
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: out there was a high concentration of meth on the

572
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: bathtub on the portion of the bathtubs, which indicated whoever

573
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: lived there previously made meth in the bathtub. As you'd expect,

574
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: they shut down the house, which twins moved doubt the

575
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: cleaning crew with hazmat suits moved in. The twin with

576
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: the issues ceased to have allus and nations involuntarily. He says,

577
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: I prop the need to point that out, and he

578
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: came back to his old self. I just wanted to

579
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: share that hope having a great week. Someday I hope

580
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: to visit the studio in Atlanta and meet Jerry. Yeah,

581
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: and that right here is Jimmy Griffith from North Carolina

582
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: originally from Brazil. Dude, Thanks, thanks, Jimmy. We hope you're

583
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: having a good week too, and we're glad your friend

584
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: turned out. Okay, geez, do you imagine you tested for meth?

585
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: That's like elaine? Yeah, testing positive for poppy seed bagel? Yeah,

586
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: opium yeah up, heroin Yeah? Good Stuffum um yeah that's

587
