if he would become a 214 00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:20,800 monthly guest on spaced out radio and 215 00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:23,520 and sure enough he said yes 216 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,720 and we did it for six years and 217 00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:28,639 one of the things that 218 00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:31,039 i will always love about the man is we 219 00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,959 built a

didn't work out so unfortunately that 837 00:31:38,310 --> 00:31:36,159 didn't but that day was cool because we 838 00:31:40,789 --> 00:31:38,320 were at my old house 839 00:31:42,630 --> 00:31:40,799

00:31:51,279 the big parking lot and everything and 847 00:31:55,430 --> 00:31:52,320 uh 848 00:31:57,990 --> 00:31:55,440 so um yeah but that was that was i had 849 00:31:59,509 --> 00:31:58,000 fun

of that day was is they had 853 00:32:08,070 --> 00:32:05,760 all these shots set up they wanted to do 854 00:32:10,389 --> 00:32:08,080 with us and as you know butch and lawn 855 00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:10,399 and myself just naturally do we we're 856 00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:12,559 you know end up in the kitchen and we're 857 00:32:15,830 --> 00:32:14,159 sitting around your big kitchen table 858 00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:15,840 you remember and these guys are looking 859 00:32:19,029 --> 00:32:17,600 at each other and all of a sudden we're 860 00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:19,039 just sitting there having a regular 861 00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:20,559 conversation all this guy's just 862 00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:22,080 shooting the breeze and talking about 863 00:32:24,950 --> 00:32:23,120 things and

00:32:38,630 --> 00:32:36,000 happened that was probably the best 871 00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:38,640 would have been the best television 872 00:32:43,190 --> 00:32:41,120 oh i think so i mean uh 873

that was one of 1025 00:38:23,589 --> 00:38:21,040 the things i appreciated because 1026 00:38:25,109 --> 00:38:23,599 he took the time to go out and spend the 1027 00:38:27,589 --> 00:38:25,119 time to 1028 00:38:30,230 --> 00:38:27,599 be with real wolves 1029 00:38:32,870 --> 00:38:30,240 you know look how you know ken are what 1030 00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:32,880 these people seeing actual wolves or are 1031 00:38:35,670 --> 00:38:34,240 they something different you know what 1032 00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:35,680 would make the difference between the 1033 00:38:40,390 --> 00:38:38,240 two what physical you know 1034 00:38:42,550 --> 00:38:40,400 descriptions of wolves can i go out and 1035 00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:42,560 actually physically verify and see and 1036 00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:44,960 experience behavior-wise 1037 00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:47,200 and compare that to these sightings and 1038 00:38:52,310 --> 00:38:49,440 when he was with the wolves man i i 1039 00:38:55,030 --> 00:38:52,320 don't know what it was but he was like 1040 00:38:57,190 --> 00:38:55,040 mesmerized by them like he talked about 1041 00:38:59,190 --> 00:38:57,200 that trip to the sanctuary like ad 1042 00:39:02,390 --> 00:38:59,200 nauseam for weeks after 1043 00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:02,400 there he was fascinated by it i think he 1044 00:39:06,710 --> 00:39:04,560 took a whole new reverence for them when 1045 00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:06,720 he left and had that experience just how 1046 00:39:10,950 --> 00:39:08,800 large they were i think that's what 1047 00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:10,960 really blew his mind and 1048 00:39:13,910 --> 00:39:12,320 uh you know gave him a different 1049 00:39:15,430 --> 00:39:13,920 perspective and angle to work some of 1050 00:39:18,069 --> 00:39:15,440 these you know 1051 00:39:19,670 --> 00:39:18,079 canine cryptid sightings 1052 00:39:22,069 --> 00:39:19,680 yeah on 1053 00:39:24,470 --> 00:39:22,079 and you know he made a lot of trips at 1054 00:39:25,510 --> 00:39:24,480 the locations uh he was clear field i 1055 00:39:27,990 --> 00:39:25,520 think he was 1056 00:39:30,310 --> 00:39:28,000 he had at least two trips out there he 1057 00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:30,320 also was up in center county 1058 00:39:35,190 --> 00:39:32,640 he was out in blair county and he was 1059 00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:35,200 also in cambria county for different 1060 00:39:37,990 --> 00:39:36,880 investigations 1061 00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:38,000 uh 1062 00:39:42,390 --> 00:39:39,200 we were 1063 00:39:44,150 --> 00:39:42,400 really interesting 1064 00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:44,160 sightings i mean you know 1065 00:39:47,190 --> 00:39:45,760 um but 1066 00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:47,200 you know i'm gonna have what i'm gonna 1067 00:39:51,910 --> 00:39:49,440 have to do is at one point i'm gonna do 1068 00:39:56,230 --> 00:39:51,920 a whole show on that again 1069 00:39:58,310 --> 00:39:56,240 and uh do a round table thing and um 1070 00:40:00,710 --> 00:39:58,320 because i i and i'm going to say it now 1071 00:40:01,990 --> 00:40:00,720 the show is rebranding 1072 00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:02,000 uh it's 1073 00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:04,560 not going to be arcane radio much longer 1074 00:40:07,589 --> 00:40:06,240 it's going to be phantoms and monsters 1075 00:40:10,630 --> 00:40:07,599 radio 1076 00:40:13,829 -->

00:40:19,200 roundtable discussions on subjects 1080 00:40:24,710 --> 00:40:21,440 and i think that's what people want i 1081 00:40:25,829 --> 00:40:24,720 mean you know having guests is good 1082 00:40:28,550 --> 00:40:25,839 but 1083 00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:28,560 you know you you you need to 1084 00:40:33,109 --> 00:40:31,200 get those guests that are conducive to 1085 00:40:35,190 --> 00:40:33,119 what you're doing yeah and that's where 1086 00:40:36,710 --> 00:40:35,200 people are interested and uh i think 1087 00:40:39,349 --> 00:40:36,720 we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna 1088

it seems like 1091 00:40:47,270 --> 00:40:45,920 there's a circuit you get a guest on the 1092 00:40:49,270 --> 00:40:47,280 next thing you know you think you're on 1093 00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:49,280 something hot and then you finish your 1094 00:40:52,790 --> 00:40:50,960 show and they're on four or five six 1095 00:40:54,470 --> 00:40:52,800 other shows afterwards 1096 00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:54,480 doing the same thing it's hard right 1097 00:40:56,790 --> 00:40:55,680 especially when you're trying to be 1098 00:40:58,390 --> 00:40:56,800 fresh and 1099 00:40:59,910 --> 00:40:58,400 you know unique and sometimes it's hard 1100 00:41:01,109 --> 00:40:59,920 because these topics are anything but 1101 00:41:03,589 --> 00:41:01,119 fresh 1102 00:41:05,910 --> 00:41:03,599 uh anymore
