5
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:17,580
air with myself Mike Joe and my brother

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:21,990
clown baby we were on baby yes that's

7

his birth name it's fine all right

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:29,010
I uh I was looking at your your

9
00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:31,410
Kickstarter a few days ago for the the

10
00:00:37,490 --> 00:00:33,360
Mothman series and I was taking a look

11
00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:37,500
at the small town monsters comm site in

12
00:00:42,459 --> 00:00:40,440
which you run and I'm so what were you

13
00:00:48,770 --> 00:00:42,469
from and how did you started in

14
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:48,780
filmmaking I'm in Northeast Ohio and I

15
00:00:53,260 --> 00:00:50,460
apologize that you looked at the website

16
00:00:58,119 --> 00:00:53,270
because it's it's atrocious

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:00:58,129
but yeah I got into filmmaking totally

18
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:01,770
by accident because I mean originally

19
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:05,640
small town monster's was a book and it

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:08,729
didn't go quite the way I planned when I

21
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:10,650
started submitting it to publisher so I

22
00:01:15,679 --> 00:01:13,080
ended up kind of pitching these buddies

23
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:15,689
of mine the idea of just getting

24
00:01:20,539 --> 00:01:18,150
together whatever equipment we could and

25
00:01:24,380 --> 00:01:20,549
turning one of the stories that was in

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:24,390
my book proposal into a documentary and

27
00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:26,610
that was that was pretty much how it how

28
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:28,380
it began now having said that I was

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:32,369
always very into film and like my dream

30
00:01:38,569 --> 00:01:35,250
as a as a teenager an angsty teenager

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:38,579
was to go to New York Film Academy and

32
00:01:42,410 --> 00:01:41,130
become a film director so one of the

33
00:01:45,770 --> 00:01:42,420
guys who's actually working as our

34
00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:45,780
director of photography is one of the

35
00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:48,020
like him and I met because of our

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:51,030
interest in becoming you know film film

37
00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:55,890
school geeks so even though I didn't

38
00:02:00,499 --> 00:01:58,079
really connect the dots on the fact that

39
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:00,509
I was making movies until after we had

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:02,369
actually made Minerva monster it's it's

41
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:04,290
something I've always wanted to do you

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:06,960
know I'm where I think all of the show

43
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:09,450

44
00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:10,080

I'm in wodsworth dude there was now

49
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:23,160

51
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:28,110
sister's house or whatever the

52
00:02:31,580 --> 00:02:29,490
restaurant

53
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:31,590
like a couple months ago I had breakfast

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:33,360
in there I just I know the the canal

55
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:35,970
boat lounge that's all I know they I've

56
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:37,770
been back I haven't been there in a 15

57
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:41,190
years but I bloom Columbus now so cool

58
00:02:46,460 --> 00:02:43,920
yeah but yes very soon they lived in

59
00:02:48,410 --> 00:02:46,470
wodsworth so you've been covering the

60
00:02:52,460 --> 00:02:48,420
cryptozoology and the paranormal stuff

61
00:02:54,350 --> 00:02:52,470
very very well you're doing

62
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:54,360
documentaries on it you're you try to do

63
00:03:00,290 --> 00:02:58,290
a book what is the most convincing story

64
00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:00,300
you've come across so far when it comes

65
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:04,560
to this weird [\h__\h] I mean it depends on

66
00:03:08,330 --> 00:03:06,450
what we're talking about because I don't

67
00:03:10,460 --> 00:03:08,340
necessarily connect like the Bigfoot

68
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:10,470
stuff with like Mothman I think they're

69
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:12,270
two completely different subjects but um

70
00:03:18,350 --> 00:03:15,420
I you know like when it comes to Mothman

71
00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:18,360
I don't know what to make of this story

72
00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:21,420
like I was drawn to make a Mothman movie

73
00:03:25,850 --> 00:03:24,270
as much by the Silver Bridge collapse

74
00:03:31,370 --> 00:03:25,860
which I consider to be a very natural

75
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:31,380
you know man you know man-made disaster

76
00:03:37,220 --> 00:03:33,590
rather than some sort of paranormal

77
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:37,230
instant but um I don't know that's a

78
00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:38,850
good question I think I'm really

79
00:03:43,220 --> 00:03:40,500
fascinated by the matter of a case the

80
00:03:45,860 --> 00:03:43,230
Minerva monster case it's like a you

81
00:03:48,250 --> 00:03:45,870
know this family Amir of Ohio who had

82
00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:48,260
something coming up behind their house

83
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,750
repeatedly over this one summer throwing

84
00:03:55,250 --> 00:03:53,280
rocks at the roof of their house and

85
00:03:58,940 --> 00:03:55,260
stuff like that multiple members of the

86
00:04:00,830 --> 00:03:58,950
family saw this thing whatever they were

87
00:04:04,220 --> 00:04:00,840
seeing seems to have killed their dog by

88
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:04,230
by ripping it out of its leash and

89
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:07,410
snapping its neck yeah it's just a weird

90
00:04:11,449 --> 00:04:09,510
story it's like it's one of my favorite

91
00:04:14,930 --> 00:04:11,459
stories just because so many members the

92
00:04:17,780 --> 00:04:14,940
family saw this thing and it's one of

93
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:17,790
those stories where every every time I

94
00:04:24,460 --> 00:04:19,680
hear an account connected to it that

95
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:24,470
seems outlandish it ends up being

96
00:04:29,029 --> 00:04:27,120
corroborated by someone which is you

97
00:04:31,339 --> 00:04:29,039
know normally you hear these really like

98
00:04:32,659 --> 00:04:31,349
ridiculous accounts and you kind of can

99
00:04:35,330 --> 00:04:32,669
write them off and in the case of the

100
00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:35,340
Minerva monster and I'm not talking

101
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:37,199
about like Bigfoot's disappearing

102
00:04:40,610 --> 00:04:38,490
through portals or anything but more

103
00:04:42,980 --> 00:04:40,620
like like for instance there's a story

104
00:04:45,290 --> 00:04:42,990
in Minerva monster where where this guy

105
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:45,300
told us that he was standing on the hill

106
00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:47,310
behind his house with there a neighbor

107
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:51,060
lady and they were talking or something

108
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:53,520
and and she was making fun of him for

109
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:55,409
thinking that this creature was up in

110
00:04:58,670 --> 00:04:56,849
the woods and so she turned and looked

111
00:05:00,649 --> 00:04:58,680
up into the woods and she said you know

112
00:05:02,089 --> 00:05:00,659
if you're if you're really up there why

113
00:05:04,010 --> 00:05:02,099
don't you hit me right between the eyes

114
00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:04,020
with a rock and like he told us that

115
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:05,969
instantly a rock came out of the woods

116
00:05:10,430 --> 00:05:07,289
and smacked her right between the eyes

117
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:10,440
and it sounds like the most ridiculous

118
00:05:15,379 --> 00:05:12,750
you know kind of outlandish story and

119
00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:15,389
then like I don't know this past summer

120
00:05:19,850 --> 00:05:17,940
actually the the guy's wife that was

121
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:19,860
telling us the story she dropped a bomb

122
00:05:22,850 --> 00:05:21,210
on me that she was there when it

123
00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:22,860
happened and she saw it happen and then

124
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:26,430
the woman I actually met the woman this

125
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:28,650
past summer who got hit between their

126
00:05:33,649 --> 00:05:31,409
eyes with a rock she like totally back

127
00:05:35,149 --> 00:05:33,659
that story up and it's just you know

128
00:05:37,189 --> 00:05:35,159
again it's not like I'm talking about

129
00:05:39,890 --> 00:05:37,199
Bigfoot's disappearing into UFOs but

130
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:39,900
that particular little story sounded so

131
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:41,759
silly to me and then to have people

132
00:05:46,339 --> 00:05:44,430
backing up so I don't know Minerva's is

133
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:46,349
probably my favorite of all of us well I

134
00:05:50,409 --> 00:05:48,270
mean this we talk a lot about a lot of

135
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,419
different goofy things on this show and

136
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:52,560
just because we talk about certain

137
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:53,610
topics doesn't mean we necessarily

138
00:05:59,360 --> 00:05:56,250
believe them but I'm I want to believe

139
00:06:01,969 --> 00:05:59,370
certain things whether there's concrete

140
00:06:05,529 --> 00:06:01,979
proof or not I like to indulge in this

141
00:06:10,269 --> 00:06:05,539
stuff in the stuff that you cover Seth

142
00:06:12,619 --> 00:06:10,279
like yeah do you believe actually in

143
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,629
these paranormal accounts when you're

144
00:06:15,769 --> 00:06:13,919
making a movie or is it tongue-in-cheek

145
00:06:17,269 --> 00:06:15,779
do you take it serious or do you are you

146
00:06:18,490 --> 00:06:17,279
just trying to have fun with the subject

147
00:06:21,769 --> 00:06:18,500
matter

148
00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:21,779
I'm not tongue-in-cheek I think there's

149
00:06:26,899 --> 00:06:23,699
plenty of that out there my goal when we

150
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:26,909
make the movies is actually to kind of

151
00:06:32,029 --> 00:06:29,969
bring back that 1970s documentary a type

152
00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:32,039
of approach to Bigfoot and the

153
00:06:36,490 --> 00:06:34,020
paranormal so like you know a big

154
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:36,500
inspiration for us is like in search of

155
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:38,420
and and then just like documentaries

156
00:06:42,430 --> 00:06:41,210
that I watch so there's you know if you

157
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:42,440
want tongue-in-cheek you can go watch

158
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:44,210
mountain monsters or whatever bull craps

159
00:06:50,050 --> 00:06:47,600
on TV whereas I'm more interested in in

160
00:06:52,630 --> 00:06:50,060
you know like basically telling

161
00:06:55,570 --> 00:06:52,640
objective documentaries about a subject

162
00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:55,580
that most people kind of laugh off we

163
00:07:01,690 --> 00:06:59,120
don't bring our own slant to the movies

164
00:07:04,030 --> 00:07:01,700
so I'm they're not made to convince

165
00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:04,040
people of the rehab the reality of

166
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:06,140
things that we don't know you know I

167
00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:08,090
don't know for myself if these things

168
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:10,820
exist but rather they're you know

169
00:07:14,620 --> 00:07:12,710
they're very objective they're told in

170
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:14,630
the same way that I learned how to do

171
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:17,120
newspaper reporting I mean we pretty

172
00:07:21,630 --> 00:07:19,520
much just relate the stories and let our

173
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:21,640
audience kind of make up their own minds

174
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:26,810
do I believe like 100% in in Bigfoot or

175
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:28,730
Mothman er I don't think I don't think I

176
00:07:32,860 --> 00:07:30,650
could say I do I'm I'm still very

177
00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:32,870
skeptical I hate the term skeptical

178
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:34,760
because people tend to try to label me

179
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:36,800
then there's like a Joe Nickell to old

180
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:39,680
nickel like skeptic which I I'm not but

181
00:07:44,050 --> 00:07:41,210
I definitely have more of a skeptical

182
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:44,060
approach personally but I you know again

183
00:07:47,890 --> 00:07:46,250
my own my own personal interests and

184
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:47,900
stuff kind of get written out of the

185
00:07:50,590 --> 00:07:49,520
movies I don't include myself in the

186
00:07:55,750 --> 00:07:50,600
movies

187
00:07:58,140 --> 00:07:55,760
just said the other day to someone

188
00:08:00,880 --> 00:07:58,150
because they asked me if I'm like a big

189
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:00,890
Finding Bigfoot fan or whatever no I

190
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:03,440
said honestly I think our movies are

191
00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:07,430
more of a response a response to Finding

192
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:09,470
Bigfoot and mountain monsters and all

193
00:08:13,540 --> 00:08:10,310
that kind of stuff than they are

194
00:08:17,770 --> 00:08:13,550
anything we're just I'm fed up with the

195
00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:17,780
the kind of tongue-in-cheek and just

196
00:08:21,580 --> 00:08:20,000
like even the not even the ones that

197
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:21,590
take the subject seriously or so

198
00:08:25,870 --> 00:08:23,570
overdramatic

199
00:08:28,510 --> 00:08:25,880
you know I just that kind of stuff turns

200
00:08:32,589 --> 00:08:28,520
me off so I make I make movies about

201
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:32,599
these subjects the way that I would like

202
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:39,880
like Ghost Hunters like is that the kind

203
00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:41,030
of stuff that you're trying to avoid

204
00:08:44,290 --> 00:08:42,380
like when you watch Ghost Hunters you're

205
00:08:47,170 --> 00:08:44,300
like oh my god these guys are

206
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:47,180
sensational like it's it's it's just a

207
00:08:50,660 --> 00:08:49,529
lot of hype and speculation

208
00:08:52,220 --> 00:08:50,670
this is the kind of stuff you're not

209
00:08:56,540 --> 00:08:52,230
going for and then you're also not going

210
00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:56,550
for the oh that kind of thing it's more

211
00:09:03,829 --> 00:08:59,279
just exactly as your look it's a yeah

212
00:09:05,629 --> 00:09:03,839
and you know like I I totally understand

213
00:09:07,790 --> 00:09:05,639
those guys I actually know some of the

214
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:07,800
Center guys and know the finding but I'm

215
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:09,059
gonna be with some of the Finding

216
00:09:14,059 --> 00:09:11,160
Bigfoot guys in like two weeks actually

217
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:14,069
next Thursday so so I totally understand

218
00:09:17,210 --> 00:09:15,809
it's a job and like I get their approach

219
00:09:19,790 --> 00:09:17,220
to the subject and I get that they don't

220
00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:19,800
have a say over either you know they're

221
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:21,540
working for a network a multi-billion

222
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,800
dollar network that has a specific

223
00:09:27,079 --> 00:09:24,480
storytelling mode that they think

224
00:09:30,259 --> 00:09:27,089
applies to the demographics that they're

225
00:09:33,290 --> 00:09:30,269
targeting so but I don't have to worry

226
00:09:35,389 --> 00:09:33,300
about that craft because I make indie

227
00:09:38,030 --> 00:09:35,399
documentaries that we fund through

228
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:38,040
Kickstarter so you know like we're we're

229
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:39,839
kind of able to do whatever we want and

230
00:09:44,929 --> 00:09:41,730
tell the stories in the way that we want

231
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:44,939
to tell them I mean my crew for the guys

232
00:09:49,429 --> 00:09:46,170
that are working on these are mostly

233
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:49,439
guys that I grew up with who who just

234
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:52,110
have fun making movies with me they they

235
00:09:55,460 --> 00:09:53,519
would make a movie if I was making a

236
00:09:57,049 --> 00:09:55,470
movie about like dress shop you know

237
00:09:58,610 --> 00:09:57,059
like a wedding dress shop they'd

238
00:10:03,499 --> 00:09:58,620
probably want to do it just just because

239
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:03,509
it's movie small town monster's the

240
00:10:08,869 --> 00:10:05,850
wedding dress yeah I like that I don't

241
00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:08,879
know where no sort of why we we all have

242
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:12,809
actually but um during filming but but

243
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:15,930
anyway yeah it's I don't even remember

244
00:10:19,309 --> 00:10:17,250
what I was saying finds the wedding

245
00:10:20,780 --> 00:10:19,319
night now you might think this is not a

246
00:10:23,569 --> 00:10:20,790
serious question that I'm about ready to

247
00:10:25,340 --> 00:10:23,579
ask but this is I'm absolutely serious

248
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:25,350
about this and I want you to ask this

249
00:10:29,090 --> 00:10:26,730
question on some more of the

250
00:10:31,119 --> 00:10:29,100
investigations you go on I'm very secure

251
00:10:36,350 --> 00:10:31,129
II I'm very curious about

252
00:10:39,079 --> 00:10:36,360
cryptozoological genitalia it's

253
00:10:40,699 --> 00:10:39,089
overlooked in witness accounts like as

254
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:40,709
soon as I look at somebody I'm going

255
00:10:43,850 --> 00:10:42,569
straight to the crotch and so if I see a

256
00:10:46,220 --> 00:10:43,860
Bigfoot and then straight to the crotch

257
00:10:48,439 --> 00:10:46,230
what about Bigfoot tits I didn't even

258
00:10:51,049 --> 00:10:48,449
know if Bigfoot women like female

259
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:51,059
Bigfoot's do they have tits well I mean

260
00:10:56,989 --> 00:10:54,300
in the patterson/gimlin subject which is

261
00:10:59,329 --> 00:10:56,999
like the famous film of the oh my god I

262
00:11:00,490 --> 00:10:59,339
sound like I sound like a total picture

263
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:00,500
geek right

264
00:11:05,710 --> 00:11:03,770
the the the patterson-gimlin film shows

265
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:05,720
the you know the the Bigfoot walking

266
00:11:13,210 --> 00:11:08,240
across the the famous film I mean you

267
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:13,220
guys know absolute yeah okay okay I mean

268
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:16,370
that supposedly has has boobs she

269
00:11:25,420 --> 00:11:18,530
supposedly had boobs but yeah I kind of

270
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:25,430
agree because c-cup we turn she's good

271
00:11:29,020 --> 00:11:26,000
she's good

272
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:29,030
okay she had to gosh yeah you're in jail

273
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:33,110
now okay so yeah no but um I actually

274
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:34,370
kind of had the same question

275
00:11:40,530 --> 00:11:36,530
occasionally because I've never I've

276
00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:40,540
never spoken to a witness who says a

277
00:11:46,690 --> 00:11:43,760
single word about like seeing a package

278
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:46,700
which to me is is interesting cuz you

279
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:48,650
know that you're talking about an eight

280
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:50,000
foot tall eight it's got to have

281
00:11:52,030 --> 00:11:51,590
something there right yeah I would

282
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:52,040
totally agree

283
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:54,140
even when I'm walking my dog and I see

284
00:11:59,620 --> 00:11:57,650
another dog that's like not spayed or

285
00:12:01,870 --> 00:11:59,630
neutered you know you know you like oh

286
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:01,880
my God look at that dogs balls I mean

287
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:04,130
they're huge really I mean not even like

288
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:05,650
I'm like looking for it

289
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:09,710
you see it peripherally it's hard not to

290
00:12:14,350 --> 00:12:12,110
see dog balls sometimes and so ya know

291
00:12:26,410 --> 00:12:14,360
that's actually the tagline on our next

292
00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:26,420
movie about the dog man or man dog first

293
00:12:34,030 --> 00:12:27,260
I

294
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:34,040
lot of stories about goatman and very

295
00:12:39,790 --> 00:12:36,620
rarely will we run into a Bigfoot

296
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:39,800
sighting where they talk about genitalia

297
00:12:43,270 --> 00:12:41,270
there's occasionally where we will read

298
00:12:45,370 --> 00:12:43,280
a story that with about like maybe a

299
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:45,380
woman who's had an affair with a Bigfoot

300
00:12:47,250 --> 00:12:46,970
in a marijuana field or something like

301
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:47,260
that

302
00:12:53,290 --> 00:12:50,510
yeah but very rarely do people recount

303
00:12:55,690 --> 00:12:53,300
those kind of details I think that's

304
00:12:57,700 --> 00:12:55,700
actually quite critical for any kind of

305
00:13:03,010 --> 00:12:57,710
believability in in these paranormal

306
00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:03,020
sightings are sure yeah have you heard

307
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:07,120
of the missing 4:01 phenomenon yeah

308
00:13:17,470 --> 00:13:14,610
what's your take on that man you feel

309
00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:17,480
so missing for one one fans are

310
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:21,360
notoriously defensive yeah so I've been

311
00:13:25,370 --> 00:13:23,130
I've been run through the wringer

312
00:13:26,990 --> 00:13:25,380
because of a podcast I used to do if I

313
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:27,000
pick so where I spoke very frankly about

314
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:30,750
my beliefs and these things all the time

315
00:13:38,540 --> 00:13:34,770
so don't don't feel bad here's you know

316
00:13:39,950 --> 00:13:38,550
like I've seen David speak in person and

317
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:39,960
he did a really good job

318
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:43,710
and and I think David as a it's it's

319
00:13:50,510 --> 00:13:48,210
definitely an intriguing concept I don't

320
00:13:53,540 --> 00:13:50,520
understand where he's going with any of

321
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:53,550
it so and I and I know that I say things

322
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:55,110
like that and then the the typical

323
00:13:58,220 --> 00:13:56,910
responses well you're an idiot and this

324
00:13:59,900 --> 00:13:58,230
is what you're supposed to do if you're

325
00:14:01,280 --> 00:13:59,910
an investigator you don't you just put

326
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:01,290
the information out there and I'm like

327
00:14:05,630 --> 00:14:03,690
well I I get that but when you're

328
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:05,640
charging $40 a book and the information

329
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:07,050
just keeps coming and coming and coming

330
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:08,810
and there's never any you know

331
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:10,890
conclusions being drawn or some some

332
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:14,160
sort of pointers towards something but

333
00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:15,930
at the same time I really respect the

334
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:17,220
guy because you know he's obviously

335
00:14:23,570 --> 00:14:19,290
putting a lot of work into this so I

336
00:14:26,060 --> 00:14:23,580
don't know so defensive anymore because

337
00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:26,070
of how I mean seriously I've had yeah

338
00:14:30,980 --> 00:14:27,839
like you said death threats I had a guy

339
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:30,990
say after I mentioned 401 and I'm not

340
00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:33,300
even demeaning against four one one you

341
00:14:38,030 --> 00:14:35,880
know I pretty much just speak my mind on

342
00:14:39,530 --> 00:14:38,040
things and I had a guy's say that he

343
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:39,540
wanted to take me out in the woods and

344
00:14:45,980 --> 00:14:43,350
feed me to a bear so that was really did

345
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:45,990
he do that like a gate like a hairy fat

346
00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:47,250
gay guy or what

347
00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:49,350
no I mean I had no idea you know he's

348
00:14:54,620 --> 00:14:51,839
this profile picture was Homer Simpson's

349
00:14:56,780 --> 00:14:54,630
I I found I find like the more repost on

350
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:56,790
YouTube are clips from this podcast on

351
00:15:00,620 --> 00:14:58,770
YouTube the Bigfoot community the

352
00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:00,630
missing 401 community beard they're all

353
00:15:05,390 --> 00:15:03,390
very closely knit and they have a belief

354
00:15:07,579 --> 00:15:05,400
system and if you rock the boat either

355
00:15:11,930 --> 00:15:07,589
way they come down hearty it's like a

356
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:11,940
religion sure yeah yeah no it is and

357
00:15:17,570 --> 00:15:14,310
like we we've definitely we've

358
00:15:19,010 --> 00:15:17,580
definitely found our niche within the

359
00:15:21,079 --> 00:15:19,020
Bigfoot community there's a very

360
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:21,089
specific like type of people who really

361
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:23,910
respond to our artwork and and support

362
00:15:26,990 --> 00:15:26,610
us and all that kind of stuff but there

369
00:15:46,460 --> 00:15:43,350
because it was about Bigfoot so why did

is a very oddly specific goal set yeah

396
00:17:22,660 --> 00:17:20,280
well I think he's very particularly in

397
00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:22,670
his exactly he's got a budget stuff

398
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:26,910

I'm stupid what do you want from me but

400
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:31,770
it's endearing

401
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:34,410
yeah whatever so he didn't even come on

00:17:38,890 --> 00:17:36,530

429
00:18:46,590 --> 00:18:43,220
white kids when my basketball team

totally paper a house together or

440
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:05,750
something I don't know

441
00:19:16,330 --> 00:19:07,850
there's nothing else to do here so yeah

442
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:16,340
okay right and yeah see ya all right

443
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:20,410
there he goes okay Oh completely

444
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:22,910
overfunded that's a great problem to

445
00:19:26,020 --> 00:19:23,210
have

446
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:26,030
absolutely I read that completely

447
00:19:29,470 --> 00:19:27,530
backwards and that's why I was surprised

448
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:29,480
he was like two hundred percent funded I

449
00:19:34,050 --> 00:19:32,330
thought he needed exactly twenty two

450
00:19:36,580 --> 00:19:34,060
thousand one hundred fifty-three dollars

451
00:19:38,620 --> 00:19:36,590
yeah of his pledge goal of nine thousand

452
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:38,630
five hundred dollars look backwards mom

453
00:19:41,020 --> 00:19:39,050
baby

454
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:41,030
there's no it's really kind of hard to

455
00:19:52,270 --> 00:19:50,290
he's not a reader all right man thank

456
00:19:53,470 --> 00:19:52,280
you give him $15 so I can get digital

457
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:53,480
copies of each of these because I think

458
00:19:57,790 --> 00:19:55,970
that's uh look these topics are really

459
00:19:59,470 --> 00:19:57,800
interesting that's what we talk about we

460
00:20:01,080 --> 00:19:59,480
do monsters talking about them and a lot

461
00:20:05,740 --> 00:20:01,090
of other stuff like missing foreign one

462
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:05,750
what I don't like he's like he's kind of

463
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:09,530
like us indulges in a topic and he talks

464
00:20:12,550 --> 00:20:10,790
about him but he doesn't really come

465
00:20:14,260 --> 00:20:12,560
down hard either way he doesn't really

466
00:20:17,260 --> 00:20:14,270
try to he doesn't try to convince the

467
00:20:19,330 --> 00:20:17,270
audience he just kind of talks about

468
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:19,340
what he discovers and reports on and and

469
00:20:24,820 --> 00:20:20,690
that's it he's just having a

470
00:20:29,170 --> 00:20:24,830
conversation for not being hardcore

471
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:29,180
enough for these folks Lester if he's

472
00:20:33,490 --> 00:20:31,610
ready for the genitalia question he was

473
00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:33,500
ready he say I think he's all in on the

474
00:20:42,730 --> 00:20:39,440
genitalia in fact I think he said that

475
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:42,740
my observation of the lack of genitalia

476
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:45,530
reporting is critical to these if

477
00:20:51,820 --> 00:20:49,510
sakura's cryptozoological community in

478
00:20:54,790 --> 00:20:51,830
confirming these reports in in in

479
00:20:57,940 --> 00:20:54,800
sightings and and I went back and I

480
00:20:59,830 --> 00:20:57,950
watched the the Gimlin film and I'm

481
00:21:01,270 --> 00:20:59,840
looking at and yeah that is a hot set of

482
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:01,280
tits I'm saying well there's a little

483
00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:04,810
sack Thurston film well yeah that one

484
00:21:09,070 --> 00:21:06,320
didn't watch it

485
00:21:11,130 --> 00:21:09,080
well I'm rewatching it I'm looking at

486
00:21:14,380 --> 00:21:11,140
I'm reading here's what the Bigfoot

487
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:14,390
patterson-gimlin film film I mean it's

488
00:21:18,940 --> 00:21:16,490
been a while since I've I've looked at

489
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:18,950
it yeah it was a while since I looked at

490
00:21:21,790 --> 00:21:20,210
it so I went back and looked at it and

491
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:21,800
it looks like this Bigfoot could use a

492
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:23,330
bra but I understand that if you're a

493
00:21:26,590 --> 00:21:25,370
but you probably don't have bra shops or

494
00:21:29,770 --> 00:21:26,600
like humming Tory's secret out in the

495
00:21:33,010 --> 00:21:29,780
woods I'm looking right now yeah out of

496
00:21:40,330 --> 00:21:33,020
trash bags yeah I guess I can jerk off

497
00:21:43,050 --> 00:21:40,340
to it you guys were talking if I'm in a

498
00:21:45,820 --> 00:21:43,060
bind yeah I could do that yeah it's fine

499
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:45,830
yeah this Bigfoot has large tracts of

500
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:49,970
land there's definitely some cleveland
