Join us as we dive deep into the mystery of Bigfoot, questioning the evidence from the Patterson-Gimlin film to tree knocking. We explore skeptical arguments and compelling accounts, unpacking why this elusive creature continues to fascinate.

Key Takeaways

  • The Patterson-Gimlin film is analyzed for its credibility, looking at muscle movement and body proportions, despite ongoing skepticism.
  • The Applegate Bigfoot Trap's design and lack of success are discussed, alongside theories about Bigfoot's intelligence.
  • Personal experiences like 'tree knocking' on the Jin Lin Trail suggest communication and territorial marking by Bigfoot.
  • Common skeptical questions about the lack of bones and clear photos are addressed, alongside discussion of footprint castings and hair samples.
  • The episode touches on speculative theories like interdimensional Bigfoot and alleged cover-ups, connecting modern sightings to ancient Native American legends.

Alright folks, settle in and grab your favorite beverage because tonight on Almost Famous Radio Podcast, we're diving headfirst into one of the biggest mysteries out there: Bigfoot! And yeah, we're approaching it with the kind of curious, unfiltered chat you've come to expect from us in the Humble Backyard Studio. We've got Mike joining us, a longtime Sasquatch believer and just an all-around researcher type who's seen and heard a lot. Together, we're gonna follow that evidence trail, figuring out what actually holds up, what crumbles under scrutiny, and what leaves us scratching our heads, genuinely baffled.

We kick things off with the big one, the iconic 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film. Was it a dude in a suit, or is there something more to the muscle movement, the stride, the sheer proportions? We'll get into why some folks are convinced it's legit, even with all the doubts. Then, we're heading to the Pacific Northwest, checking out the legendary Applegate Bigfoot Trap. Seriously, the logic behind trying to bait a creature that might be way too smart to walk into a giant box? We're unpacking it all.

Things get personal when Mike shares a story from an Oregon trail. Imagine this: you're out hiking, you hear tree knocking, and it comes back, perfectly in rhythm. Your dog goes nuts, and suddenly, the woods feel like they have their own set of unspoken rules. Freaky stuff!

Of course, we gotta tackle the classic skeptic questions: Where are the bones? Why aren't there clearer photos? What *actually* counts as real evidence when you're looking for Bigfoot? We're talking footprint castings, hair samples, those alleged frozen specimens, and why the internet seems to make it *too* easy to just dismiss everything as a hoax. Seriously, the whole world of Bigfoot evidence skeptical arguments gets laid out here.

But it gets even weirder, in the best possible way. We're exploring some wild theories, like the idea that Bigfoot might be an interdimensional creature. Yeah, you heard that right. We'll also touch on the persistent cover-up rumors and how even ancient giant legends seem to echo what people are reporting today. It's a deep dive into Bigfoot, Sasquatch, cryptids, Oregon stories, and the fascinating psychology of what makes us believe (or disbelieve).

So, if you're even a little bit into this stuff, or just curious about what keeps the Bigfoot conversation alive, hit that play button.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Patterson-Gimlin film a point of discussion for Bigfoot evidence?

The 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film is analyzed for details like muscle movement, stride, and body proportions, which some believe make it more than a costume, despite ongoing debates about its authenticity.

Why is 'tree knocking' considered a potential sign of Bigfoot?

'Tree knocking' is a behavior attributed to Bigfoot as a form of territorial marking or communication. In one instance shared, distinct rhythmic knocking in response to similar sounds suggested deliberate communication in the woods.

What are the main arguments from Bigfoot skeptics?

Skeptics often question the lack of definitive physical evidence like bones, clear photographs, and point to the ease with which hoaxes can be created and spread online. The presence of alleged specimens is frequently dismissed.

Could Bigfoot be something other than a physical creature?

The episode explores theories suggesting Bigfoot might be an interdimensional being, which could explain the scarcity of physical evidence. Other speculative ideas include cover-up rumors and connections to ancient legends.

How is Bigfoot represented in historical and cultural contexts?

The discussion highlights Bigfoot's long history in Native American folklore, with stories and traditions passed down through generations, indicating the creature's presence in cultural narratives long before modern sightings.

Intro

This is the Almost Famous Radio Podcast.....Lets go!

Jeffy McJefferson

And welcome to the almost famous radio podcast. Here we go again. I had to fix the mics because I fucked it up as usual. I tinker around and then you you do tinkering, Mike. We tinker around, we play, we fix it, and then we fix it, we fix it again, and then we go.

Rayette

We do it right the first time.

Jeffy McJefferson

We got Rayette, and obviously we got Mike. Hey, hey! Paranormal investigator. Not today.

Mike

Today's something there.

Jeffy McJefferson

Let's go around the room. Rayette, what are you drinking?

Rayette

Usual Dutch bros

unknown

Boy.

Mike

Mike? I've got a Liquid Death Sweet Reaper.

Jeffy McJefferson

Is that what you had last time?

Mike

I had Liquid Death uh Killer Cola last time. Oh, okay. They make a lot of different flavors. And I have is it energy drink? Nope. It's just a this is just a sweet tea. It's got a little bit of caffeine. Oh, okay. 30, 30 calories, six, six grams of caffeine, I think.

Rayette

Oh, okay. I was wondering what those were. Yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

Senior Nevada Springfest for me.

Rayette

Cool.

Jeffy McJefferson

Damn right. It's a cool. Nice yellow can. It's a good yellow can. Springy. Pretty springy.

Mike

Eastery look.

Jeffy McJefferson

Eastery. So anyway.

Why Bigfoot Gets Another Look

Jeffy McJefferson

Today you know, we like I said before, we did a tongue-in-cheek episode about Bigfoot like two years ago with me and Red Carolyn and Jody. So we wanted to bring somebody in here who's more of a Bigfoot believer.

unknown

A believer, yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

And not a just a believer. Probably has some evidence.

Mike

Stuff I've written, written, uh read, excuse me, not written anything, but I've had a I've had some experience. Little little tiny bit. A little tiny bit.

Jeffy McJefferson

Okay. Because I know Jody says that she what what she said she wants wants Bigfoot to she just wants to cuddle with him.

Mike

Yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

That's what she said. She wants Bigfoot to cuddle.

Mike

She wants Harry and the Henderson's. I guess.

Rayette

There you go.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah, that is good, Harry and the Henderson's, right?

Rayette

Yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

Okay, so Mike, I'm just gonna let you go. What you

The Patterson-Gimlin Film Holds Up

Jeffy McJefferson

got?

Mike

I I like you said I'm a I'm a believer in Bigfoot, believer in Sasquatch. I I read everything I can on on the thing, and and from believers to non-believers. Since I was a kid growing up, I I'm I'm I was born a few years after the uh the original Bigfoot footage, the the Patterson Gimlin video from 1967. I was born a few years after that, but I remember seeing that on TV when I was a little kid and I was just just amazed by it. I don't think I've seen that footage. It's it's it's been you've probably seen it. It's been around. The black female Bigfoot. It's literally in the Siskiyou's or uh Northern California. It was Northern California somewhere.

Jeffy McJefferson

No, the only thing I seen was that big, that fuzzy picture of Bigfoot that's walking and from like I guess the 70s, and that's what they use for all the stickers and shit.

Mike

Yeah, where she's like kind of looking back at you. Yeah. I've I've watched breakdowns of the video and people trying to discredit it. And I think it's it's real. I think it's real.

Jeffy McJefferson

Really?

Mike

Right now they're they're one of their sons, they're they're both passed away. Patterson and Gimlin are both gone now, I believe. One of their sons is trying to bankroll his own retirement or something, is what people are saying, by discrediting it, saying, Oh, my father told me it was all fake, they made it up. But I've watched videos where scientists are literally watching this and and looking at the muscle structure and the way that that female, you can tell it's a female by the breasts on it, and it literally will turn its whole torso to look about it back at him, as as if its neck is real thick and and stiff. And you you think about the costuming. If it was a costume, if it was their buddy out there running around, they didn't have that kind of technology to make costume look as formidable as that. You can see muscle movement.

Rayette

Well, that's what I was thinking with like the video, also. Like back then there wasn't technology that there is today that they could AI that or they could, you know.

Mike

Yeah. I mean, uh I was thinking about this the other day when I was thinking about coming on. Think about Star Trek. The original series Star Trek was was big around the time of this video. Okay. Look at the critters they had in Star Trek. They don't look like real, I mean, they're they're plasticky looking aliens. They're great for the time and they're they're still holding up today, but it wasn't anything like what we have today in Star Trek.

Jeffy McJefferson

Kirk fucks green chicks.

Mike

Oh, he he he's big on even the newer ones. He's got that redheaded green chick. I can't, you know. I like redheads. My wife's redhead.

Rayette

We can all be a redhead. Now here you go. Okay.

Jeffy McJefferson

Did you ever tell Emers about that video?

Mike

Oh, yeah, she's seen it.

Jeffy McJefferson

Okay. Now I sat down and watched it. Now I have a problem with her. Because I texted her last night because I was like trying to get some inside info real quick. And she never told me about this video. So, oh, Emmers, expect another text after you hear this.

Mike

You're catching no kidding.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah, because damn you.

Rayette

We could have watched it last night.

Jeffy McJefferson

Could have watched it. Doggone it.

Rayette

We'll watch it.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah.

Mike

It's it's pretty cool. It's only about a minute or so long. They they literally, I I, from my understanding, from what I believe, they were out there hunting, hunting in the area, doing something, but they had their camera with them. They had seen footprints before, these two guys, these two buddies. And so they were out there looking, literally looking for a Bigfoot, waiting for this encounter when she just popped up out of the, out of the the downed wood. She was sitting there watching them. And once she realized, from the way it looks, once she realized she was spotted, she just got up and walked off, looked over at to make sure you're not following me, and just kept walking it. And they they're sitting there with an eight millimeter camera just following her. And for the time, it was the best footage around.

Jeffy McJefferson

Kind of like the Zapruder film or the on on Kennedy's assassination, that kind of camera.

Mike

Exactly, exactly. Same kind of thing where it's that real broken up kind of footage, a little eight mil eight millimeter hand crank camera.

Jeffy McJefferson

Wow. Yeah.

unknown

Interesting.

The Applegate Bigfoot Trap

Jeffy McJefferson

Okay. Well, you know, when we were on last, Jason was kind of sitting in, but he didn't he didn't he wasn't a part of the show, but he was talking about there's a Bigfoot trap here.

Mike

Oh yeah, oh yeah. It's up in the Applegate. Yeah. It's up above Applegate Lake. I believe if you go, there's a campground that you get you right before you get to Oh, there's a creek at the very east side of the lake. But there's a campground there, but you park somewhere near there, you can walk. It's over across the road. And you go up in the hill about a three-quarters to a to a mile, it's up in a little ways. I come to think of it. We we went walking up there, my family and I a bunch of years ago, went and took one of our dogs with us. And as we got to a fork in the trail, we didn't really know where to go. I knew where the trail was, found the trail. It's the Collins, Collins trailhead, I think is what it's called. It's marked on the side of the road. But we there's a group coming down, like a church group, I believe it was, a bunch of younger kids coming towards us. Well, they were coming down the forks. We just stopped to let them past us, and then we kept going the direction we were headed. They were coming back from the trap. I had no idea the trap was up there. So I've I've I I know where it's at, never quite been to it. But yeah, we went the other direction and walked for about three miles. We got a nice, beautiful view of the valley. It was great.

Rayette

Did you know the trap was up there? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Mike

It was put up there in the early 70s.

Rayette

When you went up there to the fork, though, you knew it was there.

Mike

I just didn't realize that was the way to it. And these guys were they were look they were locked on to my dog and my pistol on my hip, and they weren't really talking to us. I'm like, hey, how's it going? Yeah, okay. And they just ran by us.

unknown

Yeah.

Mike

They weren't saying anything about, hey, it was a cool trap. Hey, look at the Bigfoot. They didn't say nothing, so we didn't get the hint that, hey, we should probably take a left here. Okay. We just went straight and went way too far.

Jeffy McJefferson

What's the Bigfoot trap made of?

Mike

It's uh from my from the look of it. Chicken wire? No, no, no. It's it's solid. It's a big box. He it's made of like railroad ties with metal, metal framework around it, and then a metal door that would, in the in the day, it's pinned pinned up now. The Forest Service, they haven't taken it out. They've left it there over these years, but that the door doesn't slide anymore. It's it's welded open. But it's got like this big expanded steel grate door that would have slid down. And and in from what I understand, the guy that built it, this the scientist in the early 70s, he would take a deer, part of a deer, hang it up, or some kind of wood or uh meat, hang it up from the ceiling of this, in the idea that a Bigfoot's gonna come in and and walk in there, pull down, exactly that's it, pull down on this rope, which would release the door and trap him. Well, the only thing he ever caught were multiple raccoons and cougars, a bear, I think at one point, something like that. But Bigfoot was a little smarter. Right. Never made his way into there.

Jeffy McJefferson

That's what I was gonna ask, too, and you already took my question because I was like, what the hell do you bait it with? And so, yeah.

Mike

So he figured it was stuff that the Bigfoot was eating, and nobody really knows. I mean, Bigfoot probably eats, you know, whatever he can get. Obviously.

Jeffy McJefferson

Obviously, beef jerky. That's the only thing that's the only thing I see is like messing with sash watching.

Mike

Uh what's it, Tim's Tim's Cascade Crunch Chips, you know? Remember those commercials? Oh, Cascade Crench your kneecaps.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah. Yeah, because I mean, there's been like I I I'm from Oklahoma. And people said, oh, there's been Bigfoot sightings in Oklahoma. I'm like, why and how? There's nothing in Oklahoma. I mean, and it seems like he's a mountain guy.

Mike

Arkansas. Or Chick. Arkansas the just outside Arkansas's got a lot of stuff. They call him the the wild man, I think is what they call that in the in the south.

Jeffy McJefferson

It's like a, you know, like Arkansas, like in the Ozarks or whatever. Yes, up in the hills. Yeah.

Mike

But it's supposed to be like the same type of thing. Yeah. Same same description. Reddish, brownish hair, real musty, n skunk-like smell.

Rayette

Okay, so here's what I like. I guess I'm one of those people that wants to believe.

unknown

Yeah, yeah.

Rayette

But has a really hard time because with all the technology that's today, why isn't there any clear pictures?

Mike

There there are. If you look, there's videos and clear picture, but the internet, having the internet today, it's not like reading a book. Everybody has their opinion and is able to throw their opinion out there. A lot of this stuff that I've seen, I mean, I I believe it or don't believe it. Some of it's kind of like, all right, it looks like some dude with black makeup on on his face, look like a gorilla. But it gets discounted. And then everything you know, everyone's talking about this video is a hoax and this picture's a hoax, but they're they're out there. There's there's there's several people. There's a guy in Canada that I've watched a lot of stuff on YouTube that literally communicates. People say they communicate with Bigfoot. I don't get into that stuff. I I never I communicated in a in a way, I think, at some point with one.

Jeffy McJefferson

But did you do the Bud Light or the Bud Local Bud? Well, that's Bigfoot.

Mike

We were since we were good, we're there, I was again in the Applegate.

What The Trap Was Meant To Catch

Mike

There's there's an old Chinese mining mining area up in the big, up in the Applegate, up towards uh just before the lake. It's called the Jin Lin Trail. Jin Lin was the guy. He was another history thing, but he had a he was the mine boss for a big mine that's up above, up in the hills. And you can walk up in there and walk around. There's just little sites that you stop at and read a little pamphlet that you that you take with you. And off to the side of the mine, we took another little trail and we're goofing around. And we had one of our dogs with us, a young, young Labrador. And by the time we hit this other trail, she was acting different. She wasn't as excited as she was earlier on the trail. She was now, she's really cautious. She's walking in front of me, but she's watching everything. And you can see her ears are perked up. She just was acting, her body language was different. I'm just goofing around. I pick up a stick and it's it's forested. So I pick up a big stick and I'm smacking a tree. From across up and over the hill from the other side of the hill, something's doing the same thing right back at me. If I hit the tree three times, I had three echoes come right back at me. If I hit it twice and then a third time within a couple seconds, I get the same response coming back at me. Bigfoot's known to do this. That's called tree knocking. Bigfoot will do that. I all but yelled out at it, but at this point, I've got my two very young daughters, my wife, my wife's getting a little upset with me. What are you doing? Why are you messing around? Maybe that's just some crazy mountain man over there. Maybe it is Bigfoot. I don't know. But whatever it was was responding right back to me the same exact way. It was like the knock and the knock on the wall, trying to get the ghost to knock back at you. I was having that happen with a tree knocking.

Jeffy McJefferson

Now bear wouldn't do that.

Mike

Bear wouldn't do that. Bear doesn't have thumbs. I mean, I was gripping a think about it. A bear's not going to grip a piece of wood and smack a tree. You know, and and I've seen walking

Tree Knocking On The Jin Lin Trail

Mike

around hunting and different stuff. I've seen Bigfoot are known to take tree, a tall tree. And I mean, he may be eight, 10, 12 foot tall, right? He's going to take the top of a tree and literally bend it over in an arc. I've seen lots of that kind of stuff. I haven't I've seen a little bit of that stuff myself, but seen lots of pictures and videos of people coming across these things. It's just, it's not natural to have one big, thick tree bent in an arc coming across, or seeing a tree. I've never seen this myself, but I've seen pictures that they'll take a dead tree, literally rip it out of the ground, turn it upside down, and stick it back in the ground. Here's a thousand foot, thousand-pound chunk of wood that's now the roots are sticking out of the ground like it's a uh a stick figure with hair, right? That's it's said that Bigfoot does that kind of stuff to mark his territory.

Jeffy McJefferson

Well that brings me back again what we were talking about in the first one with Jason said. He's like there's like trees that have been like altered high higher up. And like I don't know, I don't know how to do it.

Rayette

It was like they went down a road and it was like on both sides. It was like all at the same height.

Mike

Yeah. Like something was walking along, bending them over. Something, yeah. You see you see when you see tree bark ripped off a tree ten feet in the air, you're like, that wasn't a bear. Not around here. I mean grizzly bears get pretty big and Kodiak bears get pretty big. We don't have those around here. We got little, little four hundred, five hundred pound black bears that don't reach twelve feet, you know, and to rip bark off a tree twelve feet high.

Jeffy McJefferson

They're big enough for me.

Mike

Big enough, big enough, believe me. I've almost run into one a while back in the applegate again. Where the applegates are are, if you're not from the area, applegates are forested area nearby. We're uh we're covered in forest, but applegate's a a nearby area that we like my family likes to go to.

Rayette

I had a bear chase my Jeep one time. We were coming back from rafting, going through like after Butte Falls and stuff. Yeah.

Mike

He was up there. He's high probably up in Butte Falls.

unknown

Yeah.

Rayette

He was like running after my Jeep. My girls were scared because the top was off and everything.

Mike

We we were we went running up. I think Emma was with us. I don't believe both daughters. I know Emma was with us that night. It was later at night, and I I'd gotten a new little skull, a little blue skull that lights up that sits in your in your cigarette lighter. Well, it's like 10:30 at night. Hey, let's go for a drive. So I put that skull and it lights up the whole truck below the inside of my truck. It was kind of fun. We're just goofing off. And we decided to go up to the Apple Gate, took a shortcut to get a little closer, a little quicker. It's about a half hour, 20 minutes to this little ghost town that's up there in the woods. And we we made our spot, jumped out, did our thing up there, went back home, but we went the long way back home. So we we cruised back through over to a highway. And maybe a mile and a half from the ghost town, here comes this little, it wasn't a really big bear, it was a smaller, younger one, but he just came barreling down the hillside right in front of us. And it was dark. It was by now it's 11, 11:30. I'm not driving real fast. Fortunately, I wasn't doing my usual foot down on the floor, going, going, going through it. It's dark. I thought there's a lot of deer out here, and I don't trust little wind whistles on my truck to get the deer away. But this thing just came barreling down the hill right dead in front of us. I mean, he he was within 10 feet, and I was like, that was pretty cool. And you ask Emma, it was, you know, 500 or 5,000 pound bear, but it was probably 200-pound baby, is what it was, but he was hauling. It was so cool to watch that bear. The way the bears run are just great.

Twisted Trees As Territory Signs

unknown

Yeah.

Mike

I think Bigfoot probably scared him and was like, hey, get out of my way. You know, kicked him out with a kicked him down in front of us, but Bigfoot didn't show himself.

Rayette

Okay, so I'm gonna fix it. Back to the like the Bigfoot and the evidence. Have they found bones?

Jeffy McJefferson

Well, that was gonna be one of my questions.

Mike

That's a good question.

Jeffy McJefferson

Good job, Riot.

Mike

You know, I can't say the people have found bones. There has been over the years, there's been people that have said they've killed one. There was a guy a while back that had there's video of a of an adolescent of a small, a small bigfoot that looks like it very well could be. It's like a smaller primate that's standing on two feet and and looking at this guy through the woods. There's an there's a guy that I don't know if it's the same guy, I can't remember, but there were two dudes that were that showed this video. I think it was the same guys. They'd shown the video, and then within a couple weeks, they shot adolescent Bigfoot. And there's pictures of it online. Initially, it was like, wow, look at this. Well, immediately it got discounted as this is just fake, it's just nothing to worry about it. And nothing ever really was shown about it again. Whether someone took it down and had it examined or what, and you know, it just got blown out. Science likes to do that with things, they don't change the way things are, is with the way I look at it. It was never heard from again. These guys were just discounted and you know, kick kicked to the side. There's a guy, I believe, up in the Minnesota area, somewhere up there. I saw a video of this guy. His dad, years before, had, I believe he killed, shot, and killed a Bigfoot. I think was the story. But he's got in a freezer, and I saw the video of this thing, and it looked real enough to me, but he's got the head literally wrapped in quilts in a deep freeze. And he he pulled it out for this video and was showing a news crew or somebody, and of course, someone was like, that's that's completely fake. It's this, it's that. And it was an enormous head that and he showed it from the from the neck side of it. You can see where the you could make out the the spine and different parts of the trachea and stuff. I mean, watching this video, it was all frozen and kind of froze over, but you could see it, and it looked like a huge man-like primate face. It was kind of creepy, but I'll have to bring that video up and I'll tag you in that video. I'll find it again and send it to you. Okay. It was it was a trip. And everyone, of course. Nope, that's fake. It's it can't be real, no way. People don't want to believe in this stuff.

Where Are The Bones

Mike

People those of us that want to believe in it get talked our voices, our voices aren't heard over the people that are saying it's not real, don't worry about it. It's it's fake. Just let it go. We we hear that a lot.

Rayette

I guess what gets me is like they have like all these bones and they put them together of like dinosaurs and stuff from you know, a billion years ago, and they're in these museums and stuff. Why isn't Bigfoot?

Mike

Maybe he is. I mean, I I don't know.

Jeffy McJefferson

I we we we've got just like an Area 51 thing.

Mike

Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of a lot of different trains of thought. Some people believe he's an interdimensional creature of some sort. He's uh obviously a intelligent creature, whatever he is, whether he's from this planet or if he's some kind of interdimensional able to transport himself through a time warp of some sort. I don't know. I've been hearing a lot of that stuff lately. People come up with these ideas, and I'm open to it. I don't know. I don't really, I don't really take the same route, the same thought. I I don't I don't take it too seriously, but again, again, it's it's a thought in the back of my head that is this real? Is he is he interdimensional? Do what is that why we don't find them? We we don't see him hanging around.

Jeffy McJefferson

Obviously, Bigfoot's not in not, you know, big time monetary, you know, he didn't want money. He's doing the state. Because he could he could Bigfoot, one Bigfoot could be rich.

Mike

He just comes out and here I am, and he and he's talking, you know, if he talks, if he speaks, if you speak in English, and you know, here I am. I mean, I I got I'll go down the conspiracy theory side of things. I don't necessarily it's all conspiracy. It's all absolutely. I mean, it comes down to there's we started hitting on it last last time I was here, just a little bit. There's been lots of of talk about different things over the years that have been Bigfoot's found, and all of a sudden the authorities show up, take this carcass away from you, you never hear about it again. The Smithsonian shows up and says, We're gonna take that, we're gonna do our our our thing on it, and then people go to find out more about it, what happened to this, whatever you took from me. Oh, we don't have any record of that. Or what we have is is locked in the museum and the museum's getting getting redone. It's got asbestos, we can't get in there for the next 20 years. Why though?

Jeffy McJefferson

I mean my question is why? Yeah. Okay, what that happened.

Mike

What happens with more than just Bigfoot? Yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

That's another another story. Do they gain by quote unquote eliminating not eliminating, but you know, just

Frozen Heads Hair Samples And Disbelief

Jeffy McJefferson

blowing it off. I mean, it's like, okay, dude, I mean, it's like it's nothing like Bigfoot or Big Feet, like we were talking about. I don't know how many uh the plural of it. It's not like they go out and they, you know, the hunt people. Or do they?

Mike

Well, there's there's other stories that sometimes they I know, well, there's stories of aggression. I know that much. I've I've I've read a lot about that. People about hiking come across something, you hear something, all of a sudden this boulder, you see this boulder or hear this boulder, uh, 200 pound rock, land near you. That didn't just roll down the hill. That came from somewhere, it was airborne and hit the ground. By the time they make it, there was a story I read recently. The said that was happening. They kept getting these big rocks thrown out of them as couple. They make it back to their jeep, it was parked on this trailhead somewhere. Well, now. Now they're they got this rock that's sitting in the middle of their hood, their axle somewhat bent because their their cars had sh stuff land on it before they got back to it. And then as they're getting in their car trying to figure out how to get out of there, more shit's landing around them. You know, and and and Bigfoot isn't the the Sasquatch. We'll say Sasquatch. That's a good plural word.

Jeffy McJefferson

Well, I mean, is there a difference?

Mike

No, Sasquatch is Bigfoot's the the nickname.

Jeffy McJefferson

Okay.

Mike

People call me smiley. That's my nickname. The same kind of thing. So Sasquatch is the official name. I believe it I don't don't quote me, but I think that comes something from the Native American language, I believe. There's different words. A lot of stuff gets uh sounds like it could be m murdered and mutilated away. The words get broke up and whatnot, but I think that more or less came from the Native American terminology. These things have been seen and written down and talked about and shared in stories for centuries. It's not a 1900s into 2000s thing that's been happening. The in Native Americans talked about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, whatever they called it, throughout the plains, the mountains of Tennessee, the Northwest. I mean, they they all the Indians tribes, a lot of them have stories of Bigfoot. When I was a little kid, when I growing up in Vancouver, there was Chief Leleuska, I think is what it was. You can look him up. I think his his people, his family still have a it's a they built this longhouse. Uh in the northern, the southern Washington Indians lived in in group, communal groups in these longhouses, these big wooden forts, basically. It was really cool. But they built one back in the 70s, and we used to travel up there with school every year. We'd go up there and check it out. Well, they did all the the Native American dances, and they would teach you the different Native American beliefs and this and that. But one of the dances they taught was Bigfoot. It was big that they had a full-on costume that was designed as if the uh it'd come from centuries before, but it was carrying down their stories, and they were talking about brother Bigfoot and uh nature, everything in nature has something to do with with them. That's what the Native Americans kind of uh look at nature as as their god, as their their higher power, and and Sasquatch is mentioned quite a lot.

Jeffy McJefferson

So they're the alleged the alleged story, they're intelligent creatures. Okay. Don't mean to sound flipping here. Yeah. But you think there would be a rogue type Bigfoot that said, you know what? Fuck this. I'm just gonna go ahead and go out here and take take out the hunter. No, not take out the hunter. I mean just like, hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna go out here and and hear break break breaking news.

Rayette

Isn't he the one on the commercials?

Mike

Yeah, that's probably that's probably the guy on Jack Lynx. Oh, that Jack

Interdimensional Sasquatch And Coverups

Mike

Links guy. And they're they just made him look like the anti costume, but he looks pretty real.

Rayette

We all think he's he we all think he's a guy in the costume. What if it's the real one?

Jeffy McJefferson

Well, he could have probably pimped a better big jerky than Jack Links.

Mike

Why hasn't why yeah, he could have, you know, it could have been you know, old trapper.

Jeffy McJefferson

He should have been old trapper.

Rayette

I mean, you can pay me a lot of money and I'll I'll promote anything.

Jeffy McJefferson

That's what I'm saying. Where's this old where is that kind of Bigfoot at? It says, hey, yo, fuck you guys.

Mike

Where's where's the aliens? I mean, I I again I believe in that stuff too. You know, there's been proof over the years of all that stuff. Even again, Native Americans have in their cave drawings. You'll you'll have pictures of uh what looks like a UFO and people descending or ascending from the UFO, right? Where are those guys? They're intelligent creatures. Why haven't they? And if they have, why don't we know about it? Has it been hidden from us?

Jeffy McJefferson

We kind of went actually on our on that same one. On that same Bigfoot episode we were talking about. We kind of went just briefly because Rayette shut it down because she's like, I don't believe it. I'm not gonna talk about this, I don't know about it. But I mean Okay, so if there are any we'll get back to Bigfoot. Don't worry, Bigfoot. If you're listening, we'll come back to you, brother. What do their spaceships look like? Okay, are they those saucer things that we all see?

Mike

That again leads back to are they in a spaceship or are they traveling between dimensions? I mean, I I I I'm I'm not I I I've looked I'm open to the idea of Bigfoot, and then I read and watch videos and learn about what other people think and and say. I mean, there's there's a gal I I heard on the Coast to Coast on George Norrie's show a while back. Used to be Art Bell, by the way. Art Bell. Art Bell, the the famous Art Bell.

unknown

Yeah.

Mike

She she talked about visiting with a Bigfoot, a uh the chief Bigfoot, whatever. There was a group of them, and then there was one in particular that she talked about, it had a name for him even, but he gave her this crystal. And and with this crystal, she could hold it and concentrate on it, and she could talk to him. And she talked about them being interdimensional.

Jeffy McJefferson

So the Bigfoot gave her a crystal.

Mike

He gave her, it was like a communication device of some sort. She's able to communicate with this crystal even when she wasn't near him. But then she could go out in the woods and have this crystal when he would literally appear in front of her. She sounded very believable. She wasn't, didn't sound like she, you know, didn't go off the rails like we are back and forth with things. She just talked about what she's what's happened to her. You know. When I first moved back, I moved back to the valley in 98. Can you get her on here? I would love, I would love, I'll I'll look her up. I'll see if I can find her.

unknown

Yeah.

Mike

Here's my number. Call us.

unknown

Yeah.

Mike

But in nine, I moved back in 98. In 2000, I just looked it up while we were sitting here. There was a psychologist, a professional with his family up at the Oregon Caves out at a cave junction. And on one of the trails outside of the caves, he came across a Bigfoot that was. I I didn't read the whole story just now. I've read it many times over, but I don't, I think he, the Bigfoot just kind of was walking across the trail. They saw each other and kind of froze, looking at each other. I mean, he saw the Sasquatch staring at him, Sasquatch saw this man staring at him. They're both like, oh fuck. And they kind of froze up. This dude turned, took off, and and then, you know, but he's this man's a psychologist, a renowned person. His name was in the newspaper. I couldn't tell you what his name was or if he's still in the valley now. But he had his fan with him. And this guy, I mean, he has he's one that I would believe him. He he'd necessarily say he was a Bigfoot believer before he came across Bigfoot, just in this national park area, you know.

Jeffy McJefferson

Then he came across him.

Mike

Then he came across him. He just dug goofing around with his kids and wife, and then he's immediately frozen in in fear of this gigantic gorilla-looking thing in front of him, standing on two feet. That scared the crap out of me. And I'm I'm I've been out in the woods looking for And you're a big dude, man. I'm a big guy, and I'm usually armed and I'm ready for this stuff. I'm sure it would scare the snot out of me, too. You know, this guy's scared the fucking shit out of me, that's for fucking sure. This this guy, he, from what he's from what the story I've read, he he froze up and then immediately you know spun and got out of there with his kids and never saw it again. But there's been other reports like that all around this area, all around everywhere. I mean, back in oh gosh, where the Himalayas are at. I came over the country all of a sudden. Oh there's a monastery. Several, I know, I think Josh Gates, his his TV show, they went back there and looked, and this monastery has it's an old mummified hand, basically, but it's enormous. It's a bigfoot, it's a yeti hand. They call them yeti back there. They're snow creature. They literally have a hat that a couple hundred years ago, someone found a dead Bigfoot, killed a Bigfoot, however, however, killed this Yeti. They made a hat, literally made this hat, and and it's in this monastery. These monks have it hidden away. And they pulled it out and they'll show the guys that are interviewing them. And it's been, they they've from what I remember, they've they've taken little chunks of it here and there and sent it to laboratories and whatnot. It's been lost. It's been they've they they've proven, okay, yeah, we don't know what it is. And there's been different stories. It depends on who you read. Again, it the internet's so convoluted with things, and a person can make up their own story. Especially nowadays with AI. It's horrible. You never know what to believe. You know, I believe, but then again, I I want to believe, but every story you read the same, a story about the same thing. This this this Bigfoot, it's basically from his like above his eyebrows up, and it's like this conical-shaped head. Like, like, like think of big Harry Harry Henderson's. He's got this big head with this really tall forehead that kind of comes up to a to a slope and maybe a spot on the top of his head where it's really tall. That's what this hat that they've got. They literally it looks like a little cap. That's what it looks like. It's all can it's all dried out, and it's just skin, but it's in along with this enormous, enormous skeletal hand with some skin on it still. I mean, it's they've got proof there. Proof is there. It's around.

Jeffy McJefferson

Kind of weird, man, because I mean, like on something like that, I mean, you would, you know, you think that there has to be some curiosity and to do scientific experiments on quote unquote dead Bigfoot.

Mike

Yeah. Or or what they what they have found is hair, lots of hair. And from what I've read about many different colors.

Jeffy McJefferson

Well, Red Red has plenty of that in the fucking sink in the in the sink, but the shower. Yeah. If Bigfoot exists, it's gonna be in our fucking shower because I mean she always has to do a do a drain clean.

Mike

The little little snake down in there. But the these have been this stuff has been researched and analyzed, and they've come back saying that it doesn't, it doesn't match anything known to science. And then it's gonna drop from there. There's there's various museums and stuff with all these different things. There's there's a guy in in in Washington that's got a a museum. I've been past that. I've been I think I've probably been to it when I was a kid, but he's a he's a Bigfoot researcher. I don't know if he's still alive, but the museum's still open. I can't remember.

Rock Throwing Aggression Stories

Rayette

Isn't there one in like Boring, Oregon?

Mike

Could be, could be. It could be the one I'm thinking of. Could be the same one I'm thinking of. But And where's that? It's up outside of Portland. South kind of southeast of Portland. Not too far from Portland. But if you go down to the Redwoods, go down to the Oh boy. Uh it's it's it's the big I cannot remember what it's called. But in the Redwoods, there's a park, basically, that they've got the big tall statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe next to it. Have you guys seen that? You know what I'm talking about? I haven't seen it. I can't remember what the heck it's called. But it's it's a it's a it's a touristy thing, tourist trap, and you just walk, you pay them $10, $15 a person, you walk through their forest, and there's there's redwoods, these enormous 5,000-year-old trees. It's really great. Inside their gift shop is a museum that you can walk through. And it's got a lot of Native American stuff, and it's got some mannequins dressed up in in clothing that was belonging to Native Americans at the turn of the century, different, different things, lots of stuff, and lots of local basketry and stuff. In there, they've got a bunch of castings local that were taken locally. They're castings of Bigfoot. Bigfoot's feet, his footprint. They've got a bunch of them that you can sit right there and look at. They're behind glass, you can't feel them or touch them, but they're there. They've got them. And and again, you see videos of or you hear stories of guys saying, Yeah, my grandpa said that he used to do this. He'd put these on his on his on his boots. He was a logger and he'd put these these feet things on there, and he'd walk around in the woods just to mess with his friends. What's the purpose of that? Why would he do that? I mean, yeah, maybe, but then again, if you look into this stuff, they've taken some of these castings and and in the look of things, and they're able to point out this one has a had had a broken toe at some point. This one's got a scar across part part of his foot. I mean, there's scientists have looked at these things, or people that are open-minded to these things, have looked at them and said, hey, this matches this, this, and this. They can point things out. They can tell the size of the critter roughly by the size of this footprint, you know, and how in in-depth and how deep it was. I I've come across some stuff that I couldn't say it was a big footprint, but I've come across some prints that were messy. They weren't clear defined big footprint, okay. Foot big footprint, but it was kind of a messy look. I've come across that a couple times, especially near water.

Jeffy McJefferson

Like what size? Oh. I mean, just out of curiosity. Let's let's 15, 16, 20 feet.

Mike

20 inches, excuse me, inches, not feet. I was like, that's a big 14 to 20-some inches, probably. Oh, from from heel to toe. That's big, big. And then you figure the size of that I don't think Phil Knight could design a shoe for that guy, Phil Nike. Well, the the and one I just came across recently.

Jeffy McJefferson

I'm sorry, man. Imagine Phil

Native Traditions And Longhouse Bigfoot Dance

Jeffy McJefferson

Knight. He could take advantage of that, man. He could like, okay, yeah, I got uh we got a new Nike line, Bigfoot line. Yeah.

Mike

Look at Shaq. What size shoes he wear? Like a 15 or something? I mean, he's gonna they can make a shoe that big.

Jeffy McJefferson

See?

Mike

Yeah, that's it's out there.

Jeffy McJefferson

Phil Knight, I'm sure, I'm sure you listen to this show. But yeah, you need a big foot shoe. You might want to design a Bigfoot Nike.

Mike

I'd buy it. I'm not even a Nike fan. I'd buy it.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah, I'd buy it.

Mike

Shaq's a 22. 22. See? Big big even, I mean, we're not we're not talking about giants today, but giants, that's another another thing, you know, that there's there's been talk about giants for years. Maybe big, maybe Sasquatch is is a delineation of of of giants, you know. I mean, and where the there's been talk and and supposed proof of giants being seen and found. And they found Lovelock caves. I mean, that's another one. They found grass-woven shoes that were enormous, like 20 some odd inch sandals that were made five hundred three, four, five hundred years ago that were preserved in this cave in in Northern California somewhere, Love Lot Caves. I'm not sure exactly sure where it's at, but this stuff has been found. But science tells us it never existed. It's not there. You know, we've got enormous people today that have a twin size 22 foot, but for them to say, nope, Native Americans never no one would have had a shoe that would have been 20-some inches long.

Rayette

I wonder why they'd want to discredit that and not like make it part of history.

Jeffy McJefferson

Isn't it crazy?

Rayette

See, that's what I was because they make so much stuff part of like museums and this and that. Why would they not want to make that?

Mike

I I the only way I can can to figure out what they're doing is they don't want to rewrite history. This is the way that we have written things that we don't want to be proven wrong. I I don't know. I I don't I I I'm not that smart. I'm a dumbass. I've never really been I I just get angry that we don't have the proof that the proof has been given to us and put in front of us, but then it disappears. I mean, the the the the the big the big governmental thing, the the Smithsonian. I mean, they've been known to various things that have been taken for research or confiscated for in the name of research and then never found again. We don't have that. We never had that, or it's in a literally in a in a warehouse that's been known to have asbestos and we're working on it, but we can't get in for the next 20 years. Why can't they get the asbestos out of the walls and in in in next year? No, it's gonna take 20 years to clean this place out. I mean, that there's that those kind of stories.

Rayette

Yeah, exactly.

Mike

You're you're gonna forget about it. Why are we being pushed off like that? You know, it's it's it doesn't make sense.

Rayette

Well nowadays you could just hook an air tag to it. Yeah, yeah.

Mike

You're gonna send something you're gonna stick an air tag in the in the middle of the femur you just picked up.

Rayette

Yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

Man, this is interesting, man. I mean, I I'm kind of swaying me a little.

Mike

It's it's I I'm uh we talked about paranormal last time I was here, and uh I'm open-minded to that stuff. I'm I'm open-minded to the

Giants The Kandahar Story

Mike

idea of of Sasquatch, I'm open-minded to the idea of of giants. What's weird about between the Sasquatch and the Giant, let's go back to that, is from the stories I've read historically to more current stories, there's there's been there was a giant called the, they call him the Kandahar Giant. It was during the Afghanistan War. You guys might have heard of this. Supposedly, I don't know if it happened or not, a special forces units unit was sent up in the hills in Afghanistan, and communication was lost, and they never heard from again. Sent another another outfit up to find these guys, and they as they're walking up this trail where they knew where they were at, but when the communication stopped, they start finding equipment strewn about. And they're getting closer to this cave up on the top, and they're finding blood and all this sign of a battle. There's there's bullet cases or shell casings and weapons broken and and all this stuff scattered around. There's something happened, but there's no bodies to go with it, right? And all of a sudden, this 18-foot red-headed giant comes running out of this cave with a big spear and sticks one of the guys and just picks him up and a humongous firefight happens. And within a couple minutes, maybe of everybody expending all their ammunition, they kill this thing. And next, next thing you know, that they call back, hey, this happened. We found this, this, and this. This big Chinook helicopter comes in, they net this thing and cage him up and take off. Everyone's told to not talk about this. It's it's you're gonna sign a disclosure. And then this is like 20 years ago, and now it's coming out that all this has happened, and and a few people have talked about it and they're getting discredited in it. And the the the latest thing I've read about that was well, this story didn't come out until about 15, 20 years ago. Shit, they were in the Afghan, you know, the time the my time frame may be off, but they're you think about it, it happened during the Afghanistan War, which wasn't 50 years ago. It was in the the the near past. And they're talking about the same time frame. So it matches, the time frame matches. But giants are always, even historically, are said to have had red hair. Bigfoot, a lot of times when you're seeing the hair, it's kind of a reddish, brownish hair. They're saying that a giant smells off. It doesn't smell like a B-O, like a man, like a like a human. They had this awful smell. Well, same with Bigfoot, has this awful, musty, skunky kind of smell. They don't they don't bathe.

Rayette

I figured that was just because he was in a furry all the time.

Mike

That's what I'm thinking. It has a lot to do with the fur coat. He's not bathing, you know, he's not using sub. Maybe he jumps in the creek every once in a while. I don't know.

Jeffy McJefferson

Who knows?

Mike

He's he's been there's there's videos, and and maybe it's AI, but there's been stuff that sometimes you can tell AI is pretty obvious sometimes. But then I'm sure Sunder's a better program that's not a free jet tea jet, whatever it is, the chat thing. Chat GPT. There you go. The free version of that. You someone's paying for AI, there's better versions of it to make it look a little real. But you see pictures of Bigfoot in creeks and whatnot. I mean, he's doing something, eating fish or something. I don't know. Interesting. But the redheaded thing always comes back. The red hair always kind of filters back to me. Like, are these different species? Yeah, but are different parts of the space.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeti like supposedly white. Deer, they're like albinos.

Mike

They're yeah, they're they're they're they adapt to the look at bear polar bears. Are are white, white fur. Yeti have white fur. Yeah, they're that's it's their natural camouflage. And they're they're even even though I mean in the Himalayas, there's trees and whatnot in the lower portions of the Himalaya area, and and and they're still I mean that's that's their natural camouflage, is that whitish color.

unknown

You know.

Mike

That's why I look at it.

Rayette

That makes sense. Yeah. When you think about like the polar bear thing and yeah. I mean Wow. That's definitely I still don't know that I believe, but it makes sense. It makes sense that like why a Yeti would be white and why you know.

Jeffy McJefferson

I still don't understand though why they want to keep this shit secret. I I this now. I mean, because everybody is inner you know, interested in everything and stuff like that. And it's not gonna hurt you. I mean, like I'm not talking about Bigfoot. It's not gonna hurt anybody to find out, oh my god, this thing is real.

Mike

This really is a happening. Um why why would they hide it? I it's not a control thing.

Rayette

I mean, I think if they if they found out like it was real, that more people would go out looking for it and that's what they don't want to do.

Mike

Probably. I mean, maybe maybe that there is some group of the government that has a deal with these guys, these creatures of whatever, that hey, you don't mess with us, we won't mess with you. I mean people have proven alien. Yeah, stay hidden, and we're gonna stay out of the city and we'll keep as many people as we can out of the woods. I mean, for the for the population, hunters to the the group of hunt the population of hunt people that hunt versus the population of of the Oregon is pretty small. You know, there's not that many people out running around the woods versus the people that amount of people that are around in the cities and whatnot.

Jeffy McJefferson

You know, because I have people like me that will not go into the woods.

unknown

Yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

Or like me. I don't even want to deal with it.

Mike

I'll go out in the woods and I'll drive, drive. I'm gonna drive the the forest forest roads, get out and goof around a little bit, but I don't want to hike too much.

Rayette

You're not going in too deep.

Mike

No, I'm not gonna I want to know where my car's out. I'm I'm I'm not right, I'm not that big on GPS and I I have compasses and GPS, I know how to use them, but I don't want to go hiking 10 miles into the forest. That's not my thing. You know, I want to go out maybe 30, 40 feet off the road and sit down and take in nature, go back to my truck, drive a little further, and find some other cool spot, you know? Yeah, it's my idea.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah, because it's it's like I said, it's just strange to me that. That they don't I I just don't get I like I said, I I I'm baffled because I just don't get it.

Mike

Same, I mean it it kind

Footprint Casts Museums And Sizes

Mike

of comes back around to aliens, E.T.s. You know, the extraterrestrials. People have said for for years, hey, I've I've seen this, I've seen that. There was video a couple years ago, literal video of of something exploding and and and something going on in Las Vegas. Do you remember that? No. It was in a neighborhood. It was in literally like in a in a dude's backyard, and they they have video of this bright light, and I remember there was like a figure of some sort in the middle of it, and other people around him had seen it. Everyone's saying, it hit the news and then just kind of slowly vapored away. Nobody talks about it. What the hell happened? It wasn't a transformer exploding. The power was fine. Power never went out, from what I remember these guys saying. You know, it just the things happen and just get blown off. The news comes along, and hey, look at look over here, check out what's going over here. And and I I just I see that happening a lot. You know, you get your mind stuck on something, and then all of a sudden the next big thing gets gets blown up in the internet. Blown up in the news to to look over here and check this out. And forget about that story. That's not important.

Jeffy McJefferson

And like I said, the only real sight of a UFO I've ever seen was on a Brady bunch. Yeah, you know, with Greg with that.

Mike

Yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

Put at the sheet and stuff like that. And yeah, that little whistle thing or whatever. But yeah. It's it's it's just very interesting that they're they're that we can't that we can't even have you know have have all you know the information and shit like that. I I I the hiding thing, it's kinda it kind of bugs me.

Rayette

What do you think they eat?

Mike

Like I said, omnivore, they're gonna eat meat, whether they they kill a deer or ornivore. Carnivore is meat, but omnivore is meat, bushes, nuts, berries. Nuts, berries, grubs, whatever. They're just like I that's what I think. I mean I I've I've come across just camping in the woods and being out in the woods throughout my life, different parts of my life. I've come across elk that's just laying there dead that doesn't have any obvious holes being shot, and a hunter shot him and couldn't find him or something. I've seen lots of critters like that, things that are broken up. I mean, you see a carcass gets found, you find a deer's skull or his spine, and then the rest of it's got somewhere else. Maybe animals scattered around, maybe Bigfoot sat there and had had a lunch and just pitched his chicken wing off the off the side of the hill, and there goes the leg down there, but the skull's and everything's still sitting up here rotting away. You know, I I that's what I think. He's he's they're eating whatever they want, you know.

Rayette

I mean whatever's there. Well, I guess who's gonna stop them?

Mike

Yeah, they're big.

Rayette

Yeah. He doesn't need a hunting license. No hunting license needed.

Jeffy McJefferson

And see, there you go. Okay, good point. Doesn't need a hunting license, but for God's sake, you know, we're talking about government, and they'll do anything they can to make money. So, I mean, they should try to find Bigfoot and then like fine the living fuck out of them. Yeah, yeah. Because hey, they're hunting without a permit.

Mike

So I I I looked it up just now. Why would government hide Bigfoot? The government uses Bigfoot primarily as a creative public relations tool for fire safety, as such as the Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal campaign. It's like that's that's makes no sense. It's it's fire safety promotion. It's culture.

Rayette

I thought that was Smokey the Bear.

Mike

He was a bear. Yeah, he wasn't. I mean, he's still around. There's been historical investigation. Well, the FBI did investigate hair samples in the 70s, as shown historical records, that did not verify the existence of such a creature. They didn't verify what that hair was from, but they didn't verify that it was from a Sasquatch. I'm not gonna admit to that. I mean, that the this is just this is just AI telling me what fire safety fire safety, stay out of the woods, Bigfoot's out there. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I'm sure you're gonna scare one out of ten people out of the woods, but other than nine of us are like, oh, yeah, we're gonna look.

Rayette

Most people have grown up in the woods if they're out in the woods, so yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

Okay, and so obviously obviously Bigfoot's probably you know, in your opinion, is existed for centuries. Centuries. Yeah. Okay, this is even before there was a fire safety thing on stuff like that. So I don't know how that makes sense. Well, I mean Well the fire safety should.

Mike

That yeah, it's just the more recent the the idea of of recent I mean I didn't go too deep on it. But look at look at all the the the the delineation of man. They started as uh uh an ape primate and and we made ourselves to to the homeo sapien we are today. There they're they they've pointed out throughout the years different versions of of human as as we're growing, and they have bones and they have this, they have that. Who's to say that is who who's to say that Bigfoot isn't like an earlier version of the homeo Homo sapien that we are today? He just didn't evolve. And then then they they sprung off this they they're that that line of of human nature or however you want to put it, biology just kind of stayed and didn't they they've gotten bigger over years, like we have gotten bigger as humans have gotten larger over the years. Maybe maybe Sasquatch has gotten larger and he's now eight, nine, ten feet tall, versus a thousand years ago he was four or five feet tall. You know, I I don't know.

Jeffy McJefferson

He was amazing.

Mike

Well, four or five feet tall a thousand years ago is pretty big.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah.

Mike

Six foot tall 150 years ago was was big. That was a large man, large person. You know, look at it today. I mean, I'm six four and and I'm large for my for for people around me, but uh there's a lot of people that are well over six foot today, this this this era. You know, like I said, we've gotten bigger and larger than that. I've never made it there.

Jeffy McJefferson

I came close. 5'11. I've never made it to the almost there. Almost there.

Mike

We've got cowboy boots.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah, I can't do it. Yeah. Yeah. I can get some of my Rayheads high heels, and maybe I'll maybe I'll crack the six foot mark.

Mike

And your ankle.

Rayette

You look like you're six foot tall though. I mean your stature is looks taller than you are.

Jeffy McJefferson

Maybe I'll just go on afro. There you go. Curly hair because my hair's naturally curly, so I'll just I can do that and then pick it out. There you go. There you go.

Mike

Make it stand up a little bit.

Jeffy McJefferson

Then I can then I can crack that six foot mark. Don't know if I can get six four.

Rayette

I'm gonna have to look up that video now.

Mike

Yeah. It was it was weird. It was it it it was maybe, maybe five years ago, if that six years ago, but it was in Las Vegas. It was one of a neighborhood outside of Vegas, and it happened kind of like in this guy's backyard. They they heard something and they went out there and this this lightning crashing, almost like a transformer exploding. Yeah. But there wasn't a transformer that exploded. It was just, and he's got it on his, it's it's not like he held a camera or phone. I think it's his his uh like a ring camera in his backyard that's building this as they go running back there, and something is from what I recall, there was something there, a large figure of some sort that just turned and and like ran and vanished kind of thing. It was crazy, and it was on the news quite a bit and then just vapored away.

Why Clear Photos Still Fail

Jeffy McJefferson

But to read the point too, that I that she brought up way earlier. And then and we were talking about the Bigfoot that was in that grainy picture. Yeah, you know, yeah, and like I said, that they make stickers and and everything else on it, you know. Hold the flag, hold the flag. He's got the he's got the you know, the arms that's going this, that, and the other. You know, one arm forward, one arm back, or whatever it is. He's just look up. He's in he's in stride. He's in stride. And you know, like a like you think you think that the layperson, not government, would have and like she said again, the camera's way better. We got cell phones.

Mike

Think about it though. Oh yeah. When when when you've seen something happen in front of you, by the time you pick your phone up, raise it up and and try and snap a picture. How many times I know I've I've taken pictures of just the the forest, uh a cool bird or a fox standing on the side of the road. You bring your phone up and immediately snap a picture, it's not gonna be clear. It takes your phone a second to to to focus.

Jeffy McJefferson

But then there are pictures of but they even have cameras now that you don't you know you don't have to wait that long. Well, there's like real cameras. Yeah. I mean, not like cell phones. I mean, we I did I said say the cell phones. Sure, sure, sure. But they have cameras like you can you can you know multi-click.

Mike

Yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

And and and GoPros and Yeah, and GoPros.

Mike

And and and if you look into it, there are, whether you want to believe it's real or not, there are clear pictures of what people are saying. This is a Sasquatch standing here in the woods looking at me. You can see a pit, there's multiple of them of just like a head looking at you, and it looks like primate of some sort standing there looking at you, and it's tagged as Vancouver, British Columbia, or uh the Olympian Peninsula up in the Seattle area. I mean, it's out there, but it gets discounted. It gets somebody poo-poos it, and it goes like that.

Jeffy McJefferson

I know they poo-poo it, but I'm just saying I don't I don't I haven't even seen them. Yeah. So I I guess that's lack of lack of looking. That's a lack of looking. You know. But you know, I don't know.

Mike

I I go down those paths. I'll I'm I'm I'll turn on YouTube and my wife calls it stupid TV. I'm done watching your stupid TV. Whether it's military history or the Victorian history or, you know, some bigfoot alien thing. I'm all I'm into all that stuff. I mean, I love it. She's like, I'm out. Yep. I'm gonna I'm gonna go to bedroom and watch TV. I'm done. I'm out. Yep. Jennifer has, you know, two-inch tolerance.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah. Hey, guess what? Seinfeld's on. Yeah.

Mike

28 years of this. She's like, all right, man, you go do your thing, dude.

Rayette

I'd be the same way.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah. Well, we put everybody loves Raymond on there. I mean, who would do that? That would be idiotic anyway. I mean terrible show. Bigfoot.

Mike

The Patterson Gimlin film, the original film football.

Jeffy McJefferson

That's what I have to look up.

Mike

Look that up. And it's it's literally a once again.

Jeffy McJefferson

Thanks, Emma, for not freaking turning me on.

Mike

She's just thinking her own thing.

Jeffy McJefferson

Anyway.

Mike

Thinking about herself. Why are you asking about him? Ask about me. How am I doing? Right, Emma? Right.

Rayette

Man, Emma's being thrown under the bus here.

Mike

Think about the 1967. That film was was made. They they captured Bigfoot on on camera. Within a few years, TV. It became popular in TV. I look into toys and stuff. I'm kind of dabbling into buying toys, old toys, and things I grew up with. Six million dollar man has an episode with a Sasquatch with a Bigfoot. I didn't realize it. But they made they made a darn figure out of this thing. It's worth like a hundred bucks. Now I found them on eBay. They're stupid looking. And even the the you remember the show when it had the Bigfoot on there? This is like a man with this huge furry costume.

Jeffy McJefferson

I don't remember that episode. I used to watch Six Million Dollar Man, but I don't remember that.

Mike

I don't remember I remember bits of it. And now I've I've looked found this figure, so now I've seen still photos of the character in the show. But it became popular culture after this film came out in 67. It kind of came around.

Jeffy McJefferson

And I should kick my own ass for watching $6 million.

Mike

Oh, that was a great back in the day, it was a great show. There was a lot of shows back then. How they tried to remake it, but remake everything else.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah. Well, it was stupid enough where they can't do it now. It's ridiculous.

Mike

Yes. And the the the bionic woman right behind it, like, oh golly, come on.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah. So okay, yeah. Well, you know. I would

Bigfoot As Pop Culture Business

Jeffy McJefferson

I had that six million dollar man figure, honestly. Oh, with the scope in his thing. Yeah.

Mike

I never had it. I had I played with them. I had people around me had them.

Jeffy McJefferson

And he had the leisure suit on.

Mike

The leisure suit, yeah. That red, that red Velcro leisure suit. It was crazy. Yeah. They even had a his his his Oscar, his his handler, they had a figure of him too. They made them all. I mean, Mattel and Hasbro were they were making money off this. And today they're still, I mean, whoever owns them today is selling them for hundreds of dollars, and knuckleheads like me are like, oh, I need that. You know, because I'm going to put that on the wall on a shelf right here.

Jeffy McJefferson

To be honest with you, I mean, I probably watched Six Million Dollar Man because it was Lee Majors. Yeah. And he was married to Ferra Fawcett, who everybody had their post the poster on their wall back in the day. Yeah.

Rayette

So they weren't really watching it for $6 million man.

Jeffy McJefferson

Right.

Mike

They're just, you know, Lee Majors was was he was the He was the stud. He was the stud.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah, we're just trying to, we were just trying to, as a kid, we were trying to find that in where we can like, okay.

Rayette

Watch Farah Fawcett.

Jeffy McJefferson

Or like get her.

Rayette

Yeah, good luck.

Mike

What do I have to do to get her attention?

Jeffy McJefferson

So let's watch Six Million Dollar Man and we can figure this out. It didn't work. Not for me, at least.

Rayette

Nope, you're stuck with me. Sorry about you.

Mike

Well, thanks, Mike. Man, this has been pretty interesting. It's fun. I mean, it's like the last show. This is just my opinions. Don't quote me on anything I'm saying. I'm just I'm just a goofball that likes weird stuff.

Rayette

Well, it's definitely giving me something to look up.

Mike

Yeah, now you got you're gonna spend the night looking stuff up on your phone and YouTube.

Rayette

Like I said, I want to believe. I just I haven't seen anything that makes me.

Mike

I don't know his name, but there's a guy that he's on YouTube and in the internet as well. He's on Facebook and all the different places, but he's a guy out of Canada. I want to say British Columbia, that's Phil Mayhoff. Could be. No, no, no, no, no, it's not.

Jeffy McJefferson

No, no, no. But there's not Phil it's not Phil Mayhoff.

Mike

There's a guy that he has a a troupe, I guess, of Bigfoot in this area that he knows about, that they know about him. He he researches them and he's out there and he's got pictures of them and different stuff, and and and he he's got stories about them and and people discount the heck out of them.

Jeffy McJefferson

So that's what it's called, a troop of Bigfoot.

Mike

That's why I'm calling him. I mean, I I don't know that the village.

Jeffy McJefferson

I thought it might have been an official gagal of geese, uh flock of whatever or what have you. So how many, you know, what do you call like several big feet's foots?

Mike

The group of sasquatch. I think that that kind of hits the plural group, a bunch. These poor guys. These poor Bigfoots. And I've I've known a lot of people. They can't catch a break. I I've known people as well that it look personally that have have had encounters. I mean, there was there's a guy, I'm not going to mention his name, he has his own his own thing on Facebook, but he locally has he was at the the the home show a few weeks ago and had a big poster of of an art.

Jeffy McJefferson

Is that the fake meteorologist?

Mike

Yeah, I mean I'm not saying you know what I'm talking about. But he had a he had a poster that he it was an artist rendition of what he had seen, and his this artist drew it out for him. And he was I sat there and I've known him off and on for years, and and we sat there and talked about a little bit. And then me and my buddy were chatberg back and forth in front of him about other stuff. But he was he was that was his thing. He was trying to promote Bigfoot. And there's been I was surprised they I didn't go to the home to the sportsman show. We're out of town, but at the sportsman show there's generally a group there that is a a local Bigfoot research group. Like I am a paranormal researcher, they're a Bigfoot researcher. I've I've stood and talked with those guys a few times and they're very they're they're into it and they're very interested, and they'll they'll they'll talk your leg off about stuff and tell you where to go.

Jeffy McJefferson

The fake meteorologist that does this, that he seems to want to profit on it.

Mike

Quite a bit, yeah. I've seen that. Yeah, I don't I don't pay him for anything, but yeah, he's he's got his own Facebook following.

Jeffy McJefferson

Sure he does. Yeah. And that's okay.

Mike

He's done he's done lots of stuff. If you've known him for a while, he's done lots of stuff. He's he's been involved in a lot of stuff over the 20 years I've known. Don't we know it? Don't we know it?

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah. We've we've we've went over this a lot. So and I will not mention a name either.

Mike

Yeah, yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

You know, but yeah, he's you know, he's pretty egotistical motherfucker.

Mike

He is a one that blocked me from calling him out. He'll do that too. He's he's a he's good at self-promotion.

unknown

Yeah. Yeah.

Mike

I've got I've got a Facebook page for my my hunting group, the Southern Oregon Spirits. I don't promote it hardly at all. I'm not that kind of guy where I promote the snot out of it. I'll mention it here on the air because you know, more followers is great, but I don't do enough with it. Yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah. No, we're not calling you fake meteorologists.

Mike

No, no, no, no. I'm not a fake anything.

Jeffy McJefferson

No, no, you're not.

Mike

If I'm talking about it, it's something I truly believe in.

Local Researchers Self-Promotion And Wrap

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah.

Mike

And I and I believe in I believe in Bigfoot.

Jeffy McJefferson

Well, you had that.

Rayette

I like it.

Jeffy McJefferson

It's Southern Oregon scanners, right?

Mike

Uh Southern Oregon searchers. Searchers, yeah.

Jeffy McJefferson

That's what it's like.

Mike

Southern searchers. We were initially Southern Oregon spirits. I've been sober coming on 21 years, and that didn't once I broke away from the people I initially made that group name with, and I kept the name when we all went our own ways, I changed it to back to what I wanted it because spirits and alcoholism kind of don't really, you know, it didn't Oh I see what I was getting people literally thinking I I I have business cards with with my name on it and stuff, one number. And I'd hand it out. Oh, you sell liquor? You're a liquor distributor?

Rayette

No, they thought spirits that way.

unknown

Yeah.

Mike

No, so I changed it.

Jeffy McJefferson

What kind of drink is that?

Mike

Yeah. Like what kind of liquor can you get? Oh, what? I don't know. That's not me. No, but I changed it. Let's go to the search.

Jeffy McJefferson

Let's go to the glass house, man. They got plenty of them over here. You know, you got plenty of liquor stores calling the glass house. Yeah. Yeah, you can go to the glass house and get all that stuff. So it's totally different, everybody out there. By the way, it's different.

Mike

It's different. It's not, it's not spirits. No. We do search for spirits, but we don't call it spirits. Out of my own.

Jeffy McJefferson

Doesn't that kind of suck? I mean, for you, I mean, it really does. I mean, because it's spirits and stuff like that that we were talking about before. And, you know, spirits is Yeah, I mean it means multiple things. It means multiple things.

Mike

And with my line of thought, I I'm not I don't I don't hide who I am. You know, I'm not an anonymous as anonymous as some people are. And and that's great that they are. I never have been. And and so it having spirits correlated with liquor on something I'm handing out to somebody just talking to somebody, here, look up my Facebook page. And I'm gonna point that out. I'm like, no, that's not what I'm about. No, no, no, that's not me. And you know, a stranger doesn't want to hear my story. Hey, by the way, I'm an alcoholic. They might. I drink liquid death because it's it's flavored water.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah. So they're an Oregon liquid deathers.

Mike

Liquid deathers.

Jeffy McJefferson

Yeah.

Mike

If you want to sponsor me, liquid death, I love your product.

Oh, you want to do a one of those random? We can't we kind of did that today with with what we're talking about. But yeah, it'd be fun. It'd be fun. I'll come back in a few weeks. We'll do it again. Yeah. We'll just have the group. I'll have you back in the house. There's only three of us in here today, not five or six.

Jeffy McJefferson

Only two person was me and her. Yeah. And it was it's very rare.
