Big Food and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo. These guys are a favorites, so light say subscribe and raid it five star and righteous on Yesterday and listening watching Limb always keep its watching. And now your hosts Cliff Berrickman and James Bubo Fay, Good day, Bobo. How you doing, sir? All right? How's going up there? Oh it's it's been a heck of a week, man, it's been a heck of a week. The weather hit. I think it's hit pretty much everywhere, the crawl across the country.

But you know, I live out in the woods and last weekend, you know you've been to my house. I've got a one mile long dead end dirt road that I live on. I think six trees dropped across the road over the weekend. On Friday and Saturday. The wind was howling, you know. I mean it was sustain ten to fifteen a lot of twenty twenty five, so we had like fifty mile per hour gusts going down the valley. And the temperature was twelve so everything was frozen, which and that dropped

a lot of trees. Six trees over the road and just countless others in the woods on either side. One of the trees was well over one hundred feet tall. Well, it was tall at one time, till it fell, that it was, And so I spent nine am too dark or so on Sunday with my neighbors clearing that tree because it dropped on the road. Like almost the entire length of the tree was on the road. So that took a lot of effort. What about your existence, What are you doing?

Well? I got home last night from down south. Did you drive straight through or did you take a break somewhere? I took a break down by Santa Cruz. Oh that's cool, good man good. I slept for about three or four hours, and I stopped and seeing my buddy web down there at Half Moon Bay, and then shot up that night and got back about three thirty in the morning something like that. Nice. Well it's kind of late, but otherwise it's but it's nice to be home. Oh dude.

Plus, I skipped traffic because there's all those storms and like just traffic jams everywhere, and so I just drove in the middle of the night. But it was still sketchy, storms, super hard. I was going through San Francisco. And then when I crossed the Golden Gate. They're redoing the bridge, and like all the lanes, like in the lanes coming up to it on the one oh one, there was no It was all blacktop and there was all these different like old lines like you could I mean, there

was no reflectors or no painted lines. It was just black pouring down rain like dumping, and then cars just flying all over the well. The people were slowing down but you couldn't tell the lane was what it was. It was white knuckle for sure. But yeah, school, so I'm back now. And then there was just a sighting right where I've been going up outside of Fieldbrook, which is just outside of your Garcada area on the coast.

It's the first little valley behind McKinley be lotching the airport there trin southeast of Trinidad. And my buddy saw one it was. It jumped down, It jumped twenty feet into a ravine and kept running when it landed. Wow it was. And then when the backtrack there was a dead dough there with a broke neck, I guess, And where it was was right by this Uh when I think she baby sits too, but she has for sure, like three three kids, like probably from like three to seven or something. I

think she had. I think she's watched a couple of other kids there too. And that's where it was. Hanging out on this private dirt road with like you know, maybe like half dozen houses on It goes a couple of miles. It might be worth walking on that road. Man. They keep going back to the same spots from mikepers Yeah, he took off. He took off out of town for a couple of weeks, like two days ago

before I came back. And I'm gonna gout there with another guy. We're gonna go look, go check it out and see what we can dig up. Nice man, that's nice. You see if you can take some pictures of that broken neck deer the kind of Yeah, yeah, for sure, nice man, that's cool. Yeah. Well, I think we got a question and answer episode, right, or just doing another one of them. There are things we do is the Q and a episode once a month,

and this is it. And of course all these questions will be submitted by our listeners. By you. Yes, I'm pointing at you, listener. You are the people who ask us ces. You can either call well, you can go to our website basically, and you can you be hit the contact button and you can either leave a voicemail for us, which we really really enjoy of course, and I think people like to hear themselves on the

radio too with it and hear all of our friends out there. Or you can type up a question for us and we answer it, and of course we'll do that for the next hour or so, and then we will go to the member section. Because Big Fan to Beyond has a membership thing on Patreon. For five bucks a month, you get about, I don't know, an extra forty five minutes or an hour every single week. If just in case you can't get enough of Cliff and bobes, there's a little bit

more out there for you. And we do special members only Q and A where Bobo and I put on our members only jacket and we answer questions just from our members. So, mister Matt Prude, who also I think has a is a cold right now, but not COVID. He has a cold right now, mister Matt Prue, would you mind queuing up the first voicemail for us? Please? Hey, there, guys, is Mike. How

are you guys all doing today? Bobo, good, Cliff Matt just wanted chicken with you guys, saying that I had a BFO expedition and actually had some interesting stuff happen. On the first day, I had a rock thrown at me land right next to me a lot most some people heard it from who were a little bit away. Later on, I had a would knock that I did had would not reply back, and then just for the hell of it, did one more time and I had kind of like a oh

kind of reply. We were up on a hill and it happened down like the little valley that it was in. So had some interesting stuff there, had some like some like whoo woo's one night and I didn't hear it in person, but I heard the recording of someone having a really hard like hard wood knock, and so it was pretty interesting. So I can say it was a very exciting trip. And I don't know they I'll tell you guys about more about it one day, but the one to give you guys a

heads up on what my adventures have been like. Love you guys, love the podcast. Keep a squatchy, Michael Matt, You know, I love that you answered the recording Bobes. That's so that's adorable. I know, you're way more polite than anybody would ever imagine. Where he asked. You know, you actually answered a question even though it was recording. That's just adorable. Sound it really did. I was there with you, and I said, oh shoot, I didn't say anything that I realized. Oh wait,

it's a recording. Typical behavior, I know, typical rude cliff. Oh, I know, I'm I'm terrible, but you're adorable. I just wanted to put that out there. And uh, yeah, so you got hit by a rock. I hope Moneymaker didn't throw it too hard at you. He didn't tell us where it was. You listen to Jersey or Pennsylvania? Oh really if it was yeah, who knows? Who knows? Yeah? Do you got answers on a knock thing? That's cool? Yeah.

The bfr O trips that you know, for people who haven't been on a bfro O trip, I got to say, they're they're they're worth it. That you learn some techniques and you know, they get your you get your feet wet and the bigfoot research stuff bfro style. But really, to me, at least, the most valuable thing about the bfro O trips is hooking up with like minded individuals that you that you want to go to the woods with probably later, and you know, focus on the big foot thing.

I think that that's really valuable. What are your thoughts on the BFRO trips, Bobs, I tell you all the time, like they're I think they're worth it, you know, like, look at a three hundred bucks and I'm like, you know, if you go fishing, you're gonna pay. You know, you go for a weekend fishing, you got a guide. Every day you're paying you know, two fifty a day or whatever. Yeah, I mean it's like I think it's a good deal, you know,

and you will get turned a good spots. You'll you'll meet some cool people and you could you really could have an encounter. Yeah. Yeah, they're they're very successful. You know, they're very successful. And like anything else, when a lot of people show up, you know, maybe there's ten or twenty people there, p you can choose, you know, kind of see who resonates with you best. You know. Yeah, because when the public gets involved, you know, it gets a little weird sometimes, but

generally speaking, there's always good people on those events. And mind you, Bobo and I are not BFRO members with them. Matt doesn't know we're talking about it right now, he's not asking us to do. So these are our real opinions about these events. People come to me and ask me like, do you guys take people out in the woods, And I go, no, No, not at all. But Matt does. And I always recommend the BFRO trips, you know, because Matt's not on most of those.

Mind you, Matt's on a couple of them. If you're lucky though, Oh yeah, if you're lucky, Yeah, because Matt's solid in the woods. And I've said it before, I don't know of anybody better at finding where a sasquatch might be than that guy. You know, you give him Google Earth is signing to database in about an hour, and he's going to put you on the place where you're more than likely, well more likely than a rant than to run across the sasquatch, you know for sure.

Yeah, he's very good at what he does. In fact, I think the Finding Bigfoot show I never did like that name very much, but it does work when Matt is there because Matt is what Matt is very very good at. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, Mike, thanks not so much a question, but thanks for the comment. We do appreciate that. And you know we're not against comments. If you guys want to send comments into us instead of questions, more than happy to listen to him. Anyway.

Let's let's why don't we keep the second one? Hey, guys, this is Pete, Southwest Missouri. That quick question about illness and disease in the Sasquatch populace. Have there been any reports in y'all's collective memory of Sasquatch exhibiting symptoms of sickness or illness or disease like coughing, vomiting, anything like that? And what do you think that says about their frailty and resistance to disease

compared to ours? And then have there what are your thoughts on in general disease spreading inside the Sasquatch population or apps being introduced to them from us or to us by them, any thoughts? I really appreciate it. Keep it up, guys, you know, have a great podcast. Yeah, people report them having like allergy symptoms or it sounds like they have like a some kind of breathing problem, you know, like they got some kind of like

a sinus infections. I think there's a lot of reports of them like huffing and gasping forever, or like walking hard coughing. There's a lot of reports to them coughing like they have a cold or something. And I mean, for all we know, they could get hit by diseases that you know, we're not aware of. And that's why, uh, you know, it

just seems like theres certain areas go dead. Who knows they caught something, or because we know that primates can another species, can you distribute germs and pathogens and viruses, so yeah, well everything gets sick, so yeah, they're gonna do Yeah. And as far as a frail to the speed, I agree with all that, Bobo. And I've heard the coughing thing, and I not my personally, but i've been I've heard stories of them coughing

or what sounds like coughing. Also, so the heavy breathing is very common sort of thing, you know. But they have to be tough as nails, man, I mean, just holy smokes, you have to be just

gnarly with their immune system. And I kind of always think about my time as an elementary school teacher, you know, because there is no other greater crucible for disease and filth in an elementary school classroom, I think, and and I would generally start the year, you know, I'd go back to school before the kids did prepare the classroom when I was a teacher, and then i'd about two weeks or so, and then kids would come in September

and I would And of course it's not just my fifth graders either, by the way, or you know, whoever, whatever I was teaching that you're because you're you're in this elementary school environment where there's kindergarteners all the way to whatever six or eighth grader, depending what kind of school it is, plus their parents are around and whatever else. It is a crucible of disease essentially.

And so in September I would usually get sick. I would get a touch of something or rather, and then that would be it kind of you know, it's like the it's like you get it exposed to It's almost like inoculation. You get exposed to it a little bit, and then you're kind of built up, you build up an immunity. I generally did not really get sick for the rest of the year, and I think that's probably what's

going on with sasquatches. They're just out there doing their thing, you know, in a relatively clean environment, by the way, so there might there might be very few sort of diseases out there, you know, to communicate to one another. But I think that's probably what it is. They're just out there all the time being gnarly and big and you know, and doing

what they do, and therefore they probably don't get sick very often. But I'll tell you, I bet when they do get sick, it's probably pretty bad, to the point where eventually one of those illnesses probably kills them, you know, at you know, at age fifty or something like that. What are your thoughts on disease diseases spreading to them? Now, let's of course humans, we're not really around bigfoots very much, otherwise there'd be more

pictures of them, you know. I think that's fair to say. But what about spreading diseases to each other or maybe you know, other animals like birds for example, birds are filthy, nasty, horrible things. They spread disease all over the place. What do you think of sasquatches catching diseases from them? Makes sense that I know that the polar bears with their seal hunting

not going. There's a planned because of the ice flows, you know, changes in that that they've switched to the logo klan went cliffs and stuff and just eat eggs and hatchlings of all the all the sea birds and that they I know, they've gotten some. They just got the first one. What's that H five N one bird flu they just found in the first polar bear up there. Yeah, I mean, birds are kind of filthy things, you know. I guess most biology is kind of filthy at the end of

the day. But yeah, it makes you wonder. But it seems to me the sasquatches probably live a fairly isolated life in a lot of ways, you know, fairly isolated. Of course, they want to they want to kill deer, so you know that deer. What is it? The deer wasting disease? Is that what that is? It's a chronic wasting, chronic wasting disease. There makes you kind of wonder if that's going to spread.

They say it can't spread to humans though at this point, you know, they whoever they are, they say this that may change as things evolve further, because everything's always evolving, you know, and and uh, these things change. It's a problem with especially with the microscopic level, these like microbes and stuff. They're changing pretty quick. I think for the most part,

maybe something like that will start affecting them. But you know, without you know, learning more about sassquatches or you know, proven the species is real, we'll never know. And as doctor Krantz says, and if they do go slowly extinct without anybody knowing about them, then in a way, in a weird sort of way, it's no loss, which is a weird thing to say, but there's some truth in there. There is some truth in there, so not much but a little. Yeah. I guess you can't

lose what you don't know about. But for us, you know, we'd be weeping. We'd be weeping in our pillows. Oh god, yeah, yeah, more than usual. That's a lot, I know. I know. Well, hopefully that answers Pete's question a little bit. In Missouri love, I love Missouri. That's a lovely place. Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo. We'll be right back after these messages. Well, anyway, do you want to cueue up the next message there for

us. Hello Cliff and Bobo. My name is Gabriel from Sunny Los Angeles. I have a bigfoot related question and a non related bigfoot question. Let's start with a non related bigfoot question. First, Cliff, I heard in a previous podcast you bring you own bruce. What type of bruce do you make? Pale als IPAs apple cider? Now fourthy bigfoot related question. My

friend asked me a good question to which I was stumped. If a TV show such as The Proof is out There Expedition, Bigfoot, et cetera records a bigfoot, would they want to display it in the newspapers and magazines first and air the episode later. The best regards and happy squatching. Yeehaw. Well, I guess let's do the non bigfoot one first. Yeah, I've been brewed in a while. I just haven't been drinking as much actually lately,

but but I do enjoy beer. I love a great beer, and when I was brewing beer with regularity, it tended to be I p as, but I always for me personally, I like I pas. Don't get me wrong, but I kind of lean towards pale ales now, you know, Like I think my favorite go to beer that's readily available in most places is Sierra Nevada pale Ale. That that's that, That's what I'd like to

do a little bit of hops. So it used to be I p as, but then when I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I mean up here in Oregon and whatever else, I mean, we're this is beer country, and the I p as up here are just extreme. You know, they're just extreme. It's it's like, yeah, I'm gonna take some I'm gonna ferment some vix Vapo rub, you know, and then uh and then drink that. You know. That's kind of what the the I p as up here can go towards if you're not careful, because they just like really take

it to a whole different level. So I've learned that, uh, I just don't have the palette for a harsh I PA. So I kind of go to the pale ales like a little bit hops, but not not that much because up here it's just something different. But I have brewed a bunch of other stuff that I find interesting. I also like a nice like stout or something like that with a little tinge of sweet in there. Really, I did some milk stouts for a couple of years. Those are fantastic.

Yeah, so that's kind of my gig there. I gravitate towards the pale ales and then the stouts and maybe the porters and that sort of stuff too. So that's the beer question. But you know, I also make meat. Meat is a lot of fun. Which meat, of course is the first, probably likely the first fermented drink of all humankind, which is fermented. Honey, did you stay about one? You say, vy Cliff, that you've made last year or two years ago, whatever I've got. You

know what meat takes. So when I make meat, I brew it up or whatever and then it sits for two years. So yeah, I have a fair amount of meat lining around. If you do want it, it is at the house. I'll put it inside your trailer. Yeah you promised me. Oh yeah, no problem, no problem. I got a couple of things I need to give you actually, because people tend to send me things to get them. Yeah, like you should be a little bit more readily available for the people, so I don't have to have like a you

know, a whole like toat in my house devoted to bobo stuff. You know, I'm sorry it's a right. I was throating your trailer. You can feel bad about that. By the way, Bobo's Bobo's trailer is still not for sale unless you give him an offer he can't refuse. So hopefully we'll get some of those in or whatever. Oh and then so anyway, meat, I'm interested in meads because it's a lot of fun. You know,

meads are kind of unusual. The last couple of meds I made, though, were kind of sickly sweet in a way, because I think meats should be sweet. Because the first batch I made, I use a champagne yie and it came out real dry, and that's not really my taste. But I don't know, I got to find somewhere in between. I'm interested in meat. That's a whole culture of meat I'm not aware of. You know, like if you could, if you tinge it with sage, you

know, if you then it's then it's called this. If you use this kind of spice in it, it's called this other name. It's just so much. It's this giant world of fermented, fermented drink out there that I'm not super acquainted with. I just dabble, and I do enjoy it. But anyway, next part it was the Bigfoot question. But but what are your thoughts on that, Like, if one of these shows, like Finding Bigfoot or Expedition Bigfoot or whatever, it actually gets gets real footage, what

do you think the what would happen to it? They would make a huge deal out of it and get it out, probably as fast as they could, and just you know, try to keep the clamps on it not getting out, you know, leaking to the public ahead of time, and then just do a huge I'm sure they'd run it on Discover, the main channel for sure. Yeah, I think so too. I think I think they exploit it as much as they like. We would obviously go because we'd tell

our friend. Word would just get out. There's you know, you got fifteen people that are working on the show, plus you know, I think there's no not going to tell Barter or you know someone like that. Oh yeah, yeah, I would blab about it right away. I would like everybody who knows me personally would know about it. Then you can't keep something like that secret. Yeah, And of course the proof is out there is

a kind of a different show though, because proof is out there. The one I'm kind of work on now is like they they go out and find clips and they get they they pay a licensing fee to the owners of them, and that kind of thing, and then some nerd like me talks about them on the air. And there have been real clips you know, on

Proof is out there. Any Patterson Gimlin film has been on there. The Freeman footage has been on There's been a fair number of clips that I think are probably real on there, and a whole lot of stuff that isn't. And of course I've talked about that before in the show. The producers are more than happy to let me say my truth about them. And again, I don't watch any of the shows that I'm in really, so I don't know how I'm edited up. But hopefully they do a good job with me.

I trust them, so hopefully they do. Yeah. But I think if any of these shows got actual, real footage, everybody and their mother would know about it. They would be there would be such a commercial marketing push for that piece of footage. It would be ridiculous. Everybody would know about it. Yeah, I stul they got some plan, like you know, the kind of leak that it's coming, or it would be out that it's coming. Then you know they wouldn't let it out run away, don't

think they you know, they'd milk it. They'd have you know, they'd pop up like a bunch of episodes before, like you know, we run a bunch of the episodes from before, and you know, just build the height train as much as possible and then boom, because once it's out and doesn't come back to watch it on those channels, it'll be on the internet. Ever, we're gonna just look it up, you know. Oh,

and they'll recycle it, you know, forever. Basically, it's like it's like that hoax snowalker footage from back in the day where the things you know that they fake that the bottom feeding production companies like faked and then they made it. They said this could this be real? And they do meldrum into it for a second, and he had some positive things to say about it, and who knows what he really said, because you know, editing is

he busted them. He first and he thought it looked really good, and then he identified the plants and said it was not in the Himalayas, it was in Sierra Nevadas, and so he kind of got he kind of didn't fall for it, fall for it, but he was. He was open, like he was intrigued. And then he when he figured out it wasn't real, he came out and just said, no, this isn't real after

all. Yeah, that's the thing man. And because and because the producers always showed I mean, you've been on these shows, bubs, you know. But for the people who haven't, like they put it, so, what could you say about it that's positive? They always say something like that to you. They oh, well, it is walking bipedally, it is all one color, and that does look rather large or whatever. And they say, okay, now why do you not think it's real? Oh,

here's why. And then I give a laundry list of fifty things and they don't use any of those. So they just kind of use whatever footage fits their narrative best. You know. It's kind of sad in that way. And again, one more time, I'm going to go unplug that documentary. I think everybody who enjoys any sort of television like this at all really should watch that documentary Science Friction. Go watch it, and then it'll give you a new lens through which you can watch these shows. And say, man,

I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure that's real. So anyway, go check that one out. Yeah, but that's snow walker footage. They've used it, you know, they used it back then for the original episode. They use it for World's Greatest Hoaxes a few years later. It's going to it's surfacing again, I see on television at some point here, not too long. Yeah, they just keep regurgitating these hoaxes and keep milking it for money. You know, That's what these networks and stuff do.

I mean, that's why they exist. They exist to earn money, and they're going to find every way they can do it. And one of the ways to earn money is get real sasquatch footage and go nuts with it. It would be a really big thing. That's why, you know, I'm assuming anything. I've said it before. If any of these shows get anything that's actually real, I'm going to hear about it before you know, the History Channel puts it on the air. We all will if you're in the

Bigfoot community at all. So I hope that answers Gabriel's question down there, and Lovely Los Angeles hope the winners aren't too harsh on you, Gabriel. I'm sure it's dropping into the upper fifties. It was cole for La. When when I left it was forty eight degrees. Oh really, Oh my god. The forties. Yeah, they were like they were like everyone was talking like, you know, like sitting in the forties tonight, bring your

tropical plants inside. Yeah, exactly. The low here yesterday was negative one. Oh god, that's it's pretty insane for it that never happens here. Yeah, when all that wind is blown, the temperature was twelve and with the wind chill it was negative eight. Yeah. All right, this is the last voicemail and then we'll go to the written questions. Okay, whatever you say, Boss, Hey, Cliff, Hey, Bobo. I'm Alex

Kilbosa. I'm an amateur bigfoot researcher in the East Texas Boggie Creek area, and I was runnering where in Texas y'all thought was the best bigfoot hotspots or any good reports from recent reports from that region. Thank you and love the show. Dude kill that's my nickname. That was my alias in high school in college, Norm Kilbasa. It reminded me of the whole thing where you guys were debating about which of you would be like ribbi or t bone or

flank steak. Oh, that's cool, that's right, Alex. Thanks for the question. Man. You know what I remember most from our our Texas episodes is that every time we went there or you know, in a western Louisiana or you know, that corner of the world, basically it always seemed to come back to the Sabine River. Yeah. Yeah, I mean everything like the lakes we were at they had they were tributary or like they emptied into the Sabine or Sabing emptied into them or something like that. It always

came down to the Sabine River and Sam Houston down south. Oh yeah, it's a different kind of section there. So if you're south, yeah, Sam Houston's and then get with saving. I mean within anything within like thirty miles in Louisiana seems really good. Yeah. And when we were in eastern Texas, I remember one time we base out of Luffkin. Yeah, do you remember that because of McDonald's commercial, Like Andy the sound guy kept saying, I'm luffing its Gramps, who's been a guest on the podcast, by

the way, So everybody can go back and listen to that. So, yeah, Grandpa is great. And of course his name is Andy. It's not really Grandpa, but he's gramps to us. Yeah, that whole area down there, the Sabine River seems to tie a lot of that stuff together. So I think any of those spots, the bottom lands and whatever else would be a great place to go see where the Sabine River empties into some swamps or that. But I don't honestly don't have anything that's recent from the

area. Oh there's stuff, there's stuff. Yeah. Yeah, My ear's not not to the ground down there, you know, So I don't know what's going on there and there. It's hard to be aware of everywhere. I mean, money Maker is good at that, you know, because he has that nationwide thing with the BFRO. I'm really just focused on my corner of the world up here, you know, stuff I can do something about. Well, that textar condment of that whole texts comment is awesome too,

it is. It's really good. Well, Matt you you you hang out there, I mean you've done some stuff down to that that zone before, haven't you, not specifically in Texas? But yeah, I was going to say you should definitely check out our good friend, one of my best friends, Mike May's book, The Value of the Apes. The first third of that book or so is about field research in portions of Texas. And then of course Lyle Blackburn's Texas Bigfoot. Those two books would be a great resource.

And Bobo like Shreveport is right across the border. You've done a lot of stuff. You've gone back for seconds or thirds back in Shreeport, right, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's where we saw that giant one. Yeah, and Cattle Lake is in that area that has long history. It's stuff all throughout there. But yeah, the focus on the riverways, riverways in that area, forested areas and river ways, I think you can't go

wrong. There's a lot of places down there that hold them. Yeah, totally, totally, And not a lot of people are out there looking for him. And of course it's not too far east. But Tyler, Texas, I really like Tyler, Texas. I know that witness that with the face smudge that's on display here at the North American Bigfoot Center where a sasquatch came up and looked inside the window and left a smudge of goo on the wall on the glass as it was looking through of Seabam. I think the

term is for that oily stuff on your skin. And I talk about my thermal siding of a sasquatch in North Carolina, but I may have seen one outside of Tyler. I'm not sure, but I don't talk about that one so much because it was at such a distance, but a tall, dark figure walking by pal Lee through a powerline cut as I was zipping down the highway. So I don't know if that was one or not, but that's I saw it right outside of Tyler, Texas. So good area. Stay

tuned for more Bigfoot and beyond with Cliff and Bogo. We'll be right back after these messages we got rick Yarmy's messages. Thank you for continuing to do such a great job every week. I only listened to a few podcasts each week, and this is by far and away my favorite. If you're in a place that gentleman's been on, which region in the USA or Canada will be the first to prove it wasn't for all that sasquatches are real? Where do you think it will happen? First? I say North Carolina because of

the Darby or cuts. North Carolina State University Sasquatch evidence investigation. Yeah, I guess so. I mean I wasn't thinking along those avenues, but I think you're probably right. That didn't occur to me. But yeah, North Carolina University doing that DNA study, I think has a very very high probability of being the first. The settles come from all over the world. But yeah, that's that's sort you're gonna hear about it from there. But yeah,

the settle could be from anywhere. Yeah, that's true, that's true. But now now let's take the let's take the laboratory out of this. What do you think about that. Yeah, it's impossible. It really could be. I mean it could be could come out of San Diego, could come out of New York. You know, it could be Iowa. I mean, who knows. I don't know if that answers anything, Rick,

but that's what you got. But for some reason, you keep continuing to come back and listen to us every week, and we really really do appreciate that. I suppose it's just like hanging out with Cliff and Bobo and Matt. Really that's why white people keep coming back for more. Yeah, I was thinking about that earlier. Like, uh, like, I'm so surprised and humbled and astonished in a lot of ways that people keep coming back and listening to our podcast, you know, and I'm very appreciative of it.

Surprising and flattering it is, it is equally so. Anyway, why don't we go to the next question? This one comes from Shane gill Christ or Gilchrist or guile Christ. I don't know Gilchrist gil Christ. All right, Hey, this is Shane from Alberta, Canada. Do you think Canada has more Sasquatch than the lower forty eight states and we don't have as many reports due to the vast land area dash smaller populations to make reports. Thanks, yes, next question? Please, No, I'm just kidding. Yeah,

yeah, that's absolutely the reason. That's absolutely the reason. Most of Canadians, most of the Canadians live close to the border, and most of Canada is not close to the border, certainly, and pretty much most of Canada is great bigfoot habitat, so Sasquatch I think are more plentiful in Canada, agreed. I remember we said it before. I mean British Columbia alone is larger than Washington, Oregon and California combined. You know, British Columbia is

not the only province up there that has sasquatches in it. No, No, not at all. Yeah, I think there's a ton of bigfoots up there, a bevy of them. But without more people, more people will never know. So I guess, I guess what we're actually doing is encouraging Canadians to multiply. All right, Well, we got the next one from

Nathan Craig. What was one of the what was one thing each of you struggled with most early on in your journey in the field of sasquatch, whether it be pushed back from people or difficulties with research time, et cetera.

I think for the early part it was more just the information was you didn't have the internet, you know, you couldn't just go online and look stuff up and find hotspots or talk to people, and it was you you got to be really boots on the ground to get you know, to find uh, to get information and find out where to go and what time of year

these places are having them. And yeah, in my early days, I was in Long Beach, California, So it was geography, you know, I mean, because I got introduced to the subject through the science literature and mostly doctor Krantz at the time, and doctor Krantz mostly focused on the Pacific Northwest because that's where he lived. He didn't have a lot of good information

for me to the Rockies. He didn't have a lot of the contacts and all that sort of stuff, so he focused on the information and the evidence that he has. First he had first hand knowledge of and all pretty much all of it came from here, basically, so in Southern California. What I really wasn't aware that they were in Southern California until later. And even at that point, I thought, well, they're probably just you know,

moving through or something like that. I didn't realize that there were probably pockets of them down there, and I don't I see even today, I still don't know a lot of the habits of these things in the Southern California mountains because up here in the Pacific Northwest, where I moved to, they don't have to move very far. They don't have to get around very far because everything they need is in like a small area, which which is why I'm

pretty sure that they're not moving around very much here. They're not migrating very far, at least up here in the Pacific Northwest southern California. I don't know, all bets are off, you know, from the Sierras to the Hashbee Mountains into the Angelus Crest and all that stuff. They might have to move a great distance. They may not have to move anywhere. I don't

know. I'm inclined to think they probably don't move around. But nonetheless, so it was geography for me and time as well, because you know too, I started going to like Bluff Creek, because that's where a lot of people start their bigfoot, you know, endeavors is by going to the Holy Land, you know, Bluff Creek and like poking around there. And that

was a twelve hour drive from Long Beach, California. Time off and geography was the thing I had the most trouble with all the other stuff I pushed back from people and all that stuff that came later on, I just became more sensitive to other people criticizing me personally for my hobbies. That kind of bothered me later on in my career. But in the early days, it was time and geography. I guess I didn't consider that my career back then,

I consider that more when I moved up north. Yeah, of course, I bounced around for a while trying to find out where I was going to be before I settled up here. My own regret about moving was that I didn't do it ten years earlier. Long Beach is a great place to grow up, especially for musicians and stuff. And you know, when I was out playing the gigs and Black played the whiskey of Go Go, and I did all that kind of stuff up and down the Sunset Strip and had

a lot of musician friends, and I still do. But you know, at the end of the day, I just, I guess I just enjoyed being in the woods more than a beer soaked loud club waiting for the crappy band that went on before a stand. I hope that answers your question, Nathan, Thanks for offering it to us. The next question comes from Wesley O'Quinn. What's the best footage that you guys have seen that the rest of us haven't des falls. Yeah, there's some stuff from the Rison project that

looks really good, and there's other stuff that I think is fake. But like there's some I do like some of the clips from the Ericson Project The Female Walking Away. Yeah, that one's pretty intriguing. Or yeah, i'd like to see him again. I've spent many years since I've seen them, but hopefully they'll make that public someday and people can check it out. I've seen I've seen game cam photos that are that are good that are aren't released, but not so much, not so much video. All the stuff I've

heard that's insane. That's gonna blow my mind when I see it. I'm like, what are you looking at? Oh? I know, I've seen so many blob squatches that people say, no, it's suggests every bit as good as the Patterson give one film. You can see the fingernails and I'm looking at it and say, I don't see anything, man, what do you? What are you on? The thermal footage? I saw that. Hopefully I can find some time in my archives from the Border Patrol that was.

That wasn't great footage, but I mean, you know, a thing was fifty percent bigger than any other person on the screen. That's another I've seen some good Yeah, I've seen those good game cam photos from Oregon and then Tennessee. Yeah, or what about the there was one from two or three years ago that money Maker briefly put on Twitter and I think he erased it, or maybe it's still out there from Georgia. The thing was walking behind a deer feeder or something like that. It was. I like that

one. I think that one's legit. That one's pretty cool. You know, I'll go back. I like I like Joe Purdue's footage. That one's not played very much. I think that one deserves more attention, you know. But yeah, but it's it's I don't know that just doesn't receive the attention or something like that. But I think that one's pretty cool. Yeah, that's good. There's a bunch, yeah there are. I like that one that you sent from the Alaskan Indigenous people with that thing peeking over the

back of the ATV. That scared the hell out of me. Man, that was scary. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of good ones. There's a lot of pretty decent ones out there, and there's a lot of really mediocre or poor ones as well that I think are real. Like one mediocre one that I that I do like, and I do think it's real, even though other people give a lot of pushback to it. Is Moneymakers pancake footage from the Erickson Project. Yeah, people have seen that, you

know, not very many. You'd be surprised. I mean, I mean, remember Bubble, We're dealing with people that a lot of these people, it wasn't for our podcast and a couple other things, they wouldn't know who John Green is. They certainly, you know, they wouldn't They certainly don't know what the pancake footage is or the Ericson project. You know, a lot of people are kind of new to the field because it just happened to

stumble upon their fascination with sasquatches relatively recently. They may not know anything about the pancake footage. And it was posted briefly on Cryptomundo back in the day, a blog that I'm not even sure it's up anymore. I don't know. Then all hell broke loose and there were lawsuits around and all sorts of nutty things happened, and then it was taken down. So after that,

I think they got real touchy about posting things. So I'm not sure what's going on with any of that, but I like the pancake footage and Moneymaker got it. Matt got it. Matt has actually filmed them twice from what I understand, the pancake footage, and he went through extraordinary efforts to get

that, extraordinary efforts to get that. I'm like the he put a camera in inside of a trailer, if I remember, right inside of a trailer that was parked on the property, like one hundred and one hundred and fifty

yards away or more. The camera was inside the cub in the kitchen in the trailer on the back wall, with the door of the cupboard open, looking out a open an open window on the other side of the trailer through a telephoto lens that was in all the way in night vision with nine hundred and forty animeters ir in illumination like extraordinary lengths and got the footage, and

I guess he films a part of one. He says it's terrible and you can't really tell what it is, but he thinks it's legit or something like that in Ohio back in the day. And I've never seen that footage, although i'd like to, just as he says, it's terrible and you can't see anything, but I would still like to see it, just you know, for the completest. I don't know, there's a lot of good footage out there. I just looked up Crypto Mondo and the last thing he posted

was in February twenty twenty three. Oh really, Okay, well that's actually more recent than I thought it would be. That's interesting. Yeah, there's some twenty there's about six from twenty two, three, one from twenty twenty one, and two or three from twenty twenty. Then twenty nineteen is when

he was really posting a lot interesting. And of course Craig will Heater is the guy who runs that, and he's been a guest on this podcast before and maybe I don't know if he listens regularly or anything like that, but wouldn't it be fun if he get there some giant boost from our listenership to go to cryptomndo And he says, why are all these people coming to the all of a sudden If you go back to their stuff, that was the

site to go to you for a long time. Oh yeah, it was one of the best, one of the best back back in the Bigfoot Forum days, you know, which is still around as well, but it's not not as many people go there as back in the day, you know, No, not at all. Yeah, there were a couple of go to websites that there were a lot of fun to go check out back in the day before Facebook ruined everything and took everybody away, all these different places. All right, So is that for that one? I think? So we

got Michelle Clark. Are there pieces of evidence that were presented to you during the filming of Funny Big Thing that you have now determined to be fake? Yeah, London Tracks, I think we're a big part of it. The producers, other producers. No, the producers are good. Well again, you know, networks and production companies, they've got no dog in this fight. You know, they don't care. They're just after the advertising revenue because

that's a business and that's the business model. And they were foolish enough to hire us, people who did care about the subject and the evidence. All sorts of shenanigans went on between us, man like we were just it might say shenanigans, I mean, like disagreements between us and them and whatever about the evidence, because we were focused on the evidence. As far as we're concerned, we're going big footing on Animal Planet's dime. And of course,

you know, production company and Animal Plan in the network. Now, Animal Planet was great. I don't want I'm not talking smack about them at all, but they were making a TV show. That's just the way it goes. And I'm sure if they would have hired actors, they would have had a much easier time filming things. But clearly we're not actors. You can tell by you know, those rare occasions where we had to actually act on

TV. But yeah, we were real bigfooters, and the evidence was the most important thing, even to the point where I hid evidence from the product from the production company because they were just going to put it back and put it in their office, and I made sure that they couldn't get their hands on it before it was copied. They didn't like that. They were pretty

pissed at me. Too bad, Too bad. Luckily I went behind their backs, gave the evidence to Matt Preuet's mother, who they didn't know, and then you know, worked out a deal with them later so we can copy the cast and stuff that we got. So it was squirreled away in pizza boxes after Bobo and I destroyed some pizza together, that's right. So that's the second pizza box story that's been told on this podcast. That was

November's only section, wasn't it. No, it was. It was included as a hidden feature after the credit, So listeners, if you haven't heard it, Happy hunting. There's only two hundred and forty five previous episodes, so get on it. Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bogo. Will be right back after these messages. This is the last question, by the way, and it is a porn man. It's a porn man, Lance Underwood. Okay, well, some people are lucky enough to

be born with porn names, so who knows. But anyway, Lance Lance Underwood, this is your question. Hey guys, I was just listening to the last few shows that I missed over the holidays, and Cliff was saying that he doesn't think that a sasquatch would have a twenty inch long foot. I'm six foot six, three hundred pounds and I have a sixteen inch long foot. I find it hard to believe that a large sasquatch wouldn't have a way bigger foot than I do. Why is it that you believe that they

wouldn't have a larger foot. I gotta see this, guys, I got to see this point measured at sixteen inches, it is a porn star all right, right, well, you know you know how the foot correlates, right, good point. Now, Lance, I'd like to say that we're not questioning your claim, but I think we actually are at this point. Can you please send us a picture of your foot next to a tape measure that's figger than shack. That's insane. Yeah, because I have a pair

of Shaquilla and Eel's shoes in the museum. Shaquilla and Eiel was briefly being courted by Nike. He came to Nike's place and they made him a pair of shoes. He played basketball. He went with some other company, right, but those shoes still existed, and they ended up passing through one of the employees to a person to Larry Lund, who donated them to the museum. And shacks feed are fourteen inches long, fourteen fourteen and a half inches

long, and he's seven to two or something like seven foot one. He's a big poy. So yeah, I would look. I mean again, we're kind of questioning in the way we're not, you know, but at the same time, I'm mostly fascinated. Can you please put your foot down next to a sixteen inch like ruler, well, you know that tape measure of some sort and send that to me. I mean, I would love to display that picture. I'd be yeah for presentations and stuff like there's a

human with a seen inch foot. But I think it's like, yeah, measuring other things like some guys overestimate or embellish. Yeah, and you know what, heck man, why don't you send me Send me an email North American Bigfoot Center at gmail dot com that goes to my museum. Send me an email. I would like to speak to you about getting a cast of your foot. I think that would be really cool. I remember when we

were down at the Film and Find a Bigfoot in Oregon. We had that guy from Eugene who was the second tallest man in organ He was seven foot two if remember correctly. We have pictures of the guy and I asked him to walk through the sand and I cast his footprints and they are about thirteen and a half inches long. They are human as hell look, and they're so narrow and long. Of course, yeah, yeah, so yeah, I would love to have a cast of your feet if they are actually sixteen

inches long. So Lance Underwood, if that is indeed your real name, I would love you to reach out to me and we can arrange something. I will pay for shipping and all that other stuff I want to see or feet. I don't think I've ever said that to a band before, But yeah, do they have twenty inch feet? Maybe? But what I the reason I doubt that is because the big eight and a half footers tend to have feet around the sixteen inch range. Okay, now sixteen inches and twenty

inches. Yeah, it's a four inch difference. It's pretty that's a pretty big difference for the most part. But what I really doubt is that people have all these sorts of claims about exceptionally large feet and whatever, and in some human minds that makes them more believable or like, oh my god, listen to my story, I'm super bitch and you know, and so they exaggerate and whatever else. The larger the feet, the less likely it is

it'd be real. Most the vast majority of mind I have, I think probably technically at this point, the largest Sasquatch footprint cast collection in the world, and there's nothing close to twenty inches. The close sege is about eighteen eighteen and a half, which I guess is technically close to twenty inches, and that particular cast was made by a fourteen inch foot. We know that because we have other casts of that same individual's foot. So I think these

larger casts in the data set. And again I don't if I have a cast as twenty inches, that's because there's overflow from the impression of the foot itself. I think that people exaggerate, and I think that people don't even big footers, the vast majority of big footers, almost nobody, I'll even say, understands the dynamic interaction of the foot between and the substrate. You know, they just don't understand that. So, oh, I got this

cast is a twenty inch print, you know. And then so you're trying to convince me by saying it's big, a twenty inch print, it's so big that it can't be human, I think is really what your argument is. But do you understand how feet interact with the soil as they move along, especially up and down slopes. I doubt that it took me decades to really wrap my head around, you know. And the reason I only reason

I am somewhat familiar with. It is just the sheer number of casts I have and how many times I've seen footprints and casts and all that sort of stuff. So yeah, it's it possible they have twenty Yeah, sure man, Yeah, sure, it's possible. Yeah, likely, I doubt it. I think most Sasquatch footprints feet actual feet. By the way, most Sasquatch feet top out probably around the sixteen maybe seventeen inch range. Could be wrong, but I've not seen any evidence to convince me that I'm wrong.

But I sure would like to see your feet. If Lance at six foot six has a foot that's twenty five percent longer than seven foot one Korea Abdul Jabbar, I'll be amazed. Well, you know, I just looked. I did a quick Google search. Here the world's largest foot ever recorded, largest foot ever recorded belongs to a man named Robert Wadlow. Wadlow is one of the most most famous people in the world ever lay he stood eight feet

eleven inches tall. Yeah, his shoe size was thirty seven double A and each foot measured one point five four feet long, which comes out to eighteen and a half inches. So I guess it's possible. He could barely walk. Yeah, yeah, that was a problem. But uh, Lance Underwood here, it is only six and a half feet tall. I guess it's possible. It's definitely possible. But Lance, I really want to see your feet, man, that's really cool if that's true, and again, email

me, email us, let us know. And I want to get casts of your foot to highlight the differences between a large human foot and a sasquatch foot. So yeah, please please please email me. I want to display your foot cast in the museum. Who they got me all fired up? All right, Well, there you go, folks. There's That was the last question for this month's Q and A, or at least the regular episode.

But when I are going to go off and do the members section now, or we just take questions from members, that'll be a lot of fun as well. We get a little looser over in the member section, pipes in a little bit more often, and there's a little bit less editing for idiocy, which is probably the most common kind of editing we do here. If you would like your question answered, well, you got to ask us,

otherwise we won't answer it. And the way to ask us that question is by going to the website, hitting the contact button and emailing us your question, or you can even record a voice message for us. I'm sure the lovely and talented Matt Preu will put that link in the show notes below. And it's a lot of fun. We really do enjoy these particular app At least I really enjoy these episodes because we don't know the questions that are

coming. Matt prot hides all that from us until we actually read it on the screen in front of us and answer it as we're recording. So it's kind of a fun episode to do for us here, Buba, Any last thoughts before we split? No? Cool, me too, neither. All right, okay, folks, thanks for joining us again this week. Yeah, send us in your questions, statements, whatever, praise, insults we look at all. So until next week, y'all, keep it squatchy.
