Bigfoot: Cryptid or Dark Spirit? A Deep Dive with Squatch America

Hello, Bigfoot enthusiasts. Scott here from Squatch America. And Hannah, domestic goddess, chief cook and doggy mama in the paddy wagon tonight. Yes, and it's. Actually, it feels pretty good in here. I think it's hot. That's because you forgot to turn off the AC and went, oh crap, I forgot to turn off the AC, and he jumps up and the chair goes flying and the dog runs under something and he tries to, and he's like, ah. So you worked yourself all up into a tizzy for absolutely nothing. No tizzies involved. Well, welcome all. Throw a high in the chat from where you're from. I don't see any chat. There's one person. Hello. So, anywho, we are live from beautiful north central Texas. Yep. In fact, we can probably see Oklahoma out the window somewhere. Oklahoma. Oklahoma's like that way. Yeah, it's like that way. Anyway. Okay. We are right here on the banks of Lake Texoma, and just like it sounds, Texoma means Texas and Oklahoma right next to each other. Yep. It's a lake that's in them both. Yep, serves as a, much like the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. So hi, Michelle and Stacey. Welcome. And we've got an interesting show for you tonight. Yeah, it kind of came out of nowhere. It was like, hmm. Yeah, it kind of left build show. So let's play the intro and we'll come back to it. I'm still swaying to the music in my head. All right. So yeah, we ran across this interesting article from someplace you wouldn't find a Bigfoot article, I don't think. Which was? Blend Media. That's Glenn Beck's media company. Yeah. So we thought it was kind of odd that they had a Bigfoot story. Well, one of his partners in alternative media over there, doesn't he do like a paranormal Friday once a month? Once a month. Yeah, it's free think Friday. Free think Friday. Yeah, so. That's where he entertains all the weird. Okay, so. I love it. Hi from Alameda, where they used to keep the nuclear vessels. That's awesome. All right, so. Yes, I was chatting with a friend, it is hot here. It's not so bad right now. Mornings have been. It's 81. Yeah, that's not horrible. Mornings have been in like the upper 70s, and then by midday, it's 90 something, and then it cools back down at night. But I was talking to one of my friends in Fort Worth the other day, and she says, it's supposed to be fall here, but it's not, we don't know why. Yeah. You know, hey, global warming. Yeah, but we're going to enjoy Texas this winter. Ah, yes, we are scheduled to be in Texas through the entire month of March. So if you're watching this, and you're in the Central South Oklahoma, or Central North Texas, and you would like to meet up or whatever, just throw us an email at squatchamerica.com. Or Squatch America, well, you can go to contactinfo at squatchamerica.com, or you can email us at squatchamerica at gmail.com. You know, if you click on brand or banners, banners has it, doesn't it? Isn't it banners? Yeah. There you go. Look, there's the email right there. Boom, right there, squatchamerica at gmail.com. Anyway. I'm learning to click things. But I did give up my makeup for a while here, because it just melts right off my face. Yeah. You get to see my naked face. Anyway, oh, I love Stacy's comment. Two weeks of nearly 100, and we are so unprepared. Fortunately, we have the climate droid from hotter climes, and then he finally used it yesterday. Yeah, it's awesome. Stacy, I love you, chica. And hi, Charles. Yes, good to see you. So, this article that we got actually came to me from one of my coworkers. Yeah, it's kind of interesting. Actually, I had heard about it, and Hannah actually found the article. But it was pretty interesting. But first, let's ask you guys. Do you think Bigfoot's in the Bible? That is the question. Or any other sacred text that you might be enamored with? Let's expand that. Is Bigfoot in the Bhagavad Gita, Book of Mormon? The Koran? The Koran. Any of those? Is Bigfoot in the Lord of the Rings? I know some people go to Lord of the Rings. You know, hey, J.R. Tolkien, you know, talking about Bigfoot. What are some other? I don't know any other sacred texts. There are billions. Yeah. I mean, I study most of them in yoga, but do the Buddhists write about Bigfoot? I don't know. What are your thoughts on that? So, here's- What are the religious implications of Bigfoot? Oh, hi, Scott. So, this is really interesting. This is from Blaze Media, believe it or not. And so, here's what really kind of caught me off guard with it is, let me find the right click- Michelle said that during archery elk season, Steve, along with two other hunters, while hunting together, had a UFO sighting in the back country. I don't know if that's religious, but maybe. No, that's very- Well, thank you, Michelle. Yeah, that's pretty awesome, and- And yeah, Scott Gobel, who's in chat, and I have had a couple of those in the woods. Yeah. Stacey says she's only aware of oral traditions. Okay. I would love to know. You need to book Enoch. We didn't mention that one. Well, you know, we talked about the Nephilim. Yeah, we've actually did a show on that. I, our personal induction, deduction, as we've gone through all of the things is that the Nephilim were not Bigfoot. Yeah. Unless Bigfoot was 3,000 feet tall. And my basis on that, if you want to believe that Bigfoot are the Nephilim, and you want to take the texts that actually tell you what the Nephilim are, where the origins of the Nephilim are, you have to believe everything they told you about the Nephilim, and that they're 3,000 feet tall, so. Maybe they were. Maybe they were the Titans. Maybe they were the Titans, yeah. Anyway, let's get to this article, because it's kind of a, I wish we had a funny video to react to. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah. All we have is an article. Yeah. So it says, Bigfoot is real and more dangerous than you think by Tiger Lily. I am. Okay. So I just got to say something. Something written by Tiger Lily. Really, I don't know about that. So what really caught me off guard was this in red here. I knew this being was not of God, but an ultimate deceiver. I knew, I can't read it over here. I knew eternity was. I knew eternity was at stake. It's right over there too. Oh, yeah. I knew eternity was at stake, and it's at stake for you too, if you continue in this search. Oh my God. This screen over here, this screen over here is fine, but this screen over here is just at the right angle that my. Glasses don't work. My glasses don't work. That's so funny. I can't read that at all. Oh, I can read that. Okay. So are we going to read that? No. All right. So. So what the premise of this whole thing was, this guy had an encounter, and he shared it with this writer, and his take was he thought Bigfoot was a demon or of the devil. And funny story. Funny story, since Scott's in the chat. If you go back, oh gosh, last year, or I think it was a video from last year. I will link it in the pin comment after this is over. But we were out Bigfooting, and we were sitting around the campfire talking, and Scott happened to mention that his wife thought that Bigfoot were demons. And soon as he said that, all our motion sensors started going off. And we had like that 15 minutes of terror in the woods, something all around our campground, walking and grunting and snorting and making weird noises. And we might have possibly got it on a thermal, but that was kind of interesting. And Scott can back me up on that one. Yeah, he said he figured he were going to bring it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, so this is the guy's story. Let's jump into the story here. All right, get to the, okay, here we go. Here we go. Here's the story. First of all, he says it was something he never wanted to experience again. My father started joining all these Bigfoot groups, and it began as a small side hobby that he grew to love. He would travel all over the country with these groups of cryptid hunters, mystics, Sasquatch believers, et cetera. We would all poke fun at him, but he started to take it really seriously. He started to have these encounters, these stories that he was shy to tell, but when you would tell them, you would be dumbstruck by how much belief he had in his eyes. I never knew my father to be a liar. I trusted him, and I still do. So one day I went with him. My father and I lived in the Northeast, and we traveled up and over to Washington State, very close to the Canadian border. We camped. In my head, I was thinking, this is just a cool camping trip with my dad where we can bond and I can get a glimpse into his world. It ended up being more than that, much, much more. My father told me that to see a Bigfoot, you had to camp under the stars with no tent, no fire, and no electronics. So that's exactly what we did. We had our cots under the stars out in the middle of the forest, just us and the anxious feeling growing inside my chest. Sounds like something that one of our slightly sadistic camp counselors would have told us in summer camp. Anyway, dad never seemed nervous or scared, so I knew if he'd seen them, they weren't to be feared, but I still felt on edge. Even without the events of a Bigfoot sighting, I was thinking of bears, wolves, mountain lions. He said that the minute we put the campfire out, we would start to hear things, feel things, and maybe even see things. My heart raced. He was right. The fire goes out, and we immediately hear the sound of running feet, smaller feet like children playing a game of tag, bipedal. It's pitch black. You can't even see your hand in front of your face, so that's like normal for me, but the moon was hidden by clouds. The stars barely peeked through. I'm tucked into a sleeping bag, and I feel something run up and touch my side. I'm frozen. I still hear the sound of small feet, and then I hear something much bigger, the heaviest steps I've ever heard. One heavy step, then another, closer and closer, closer. I feel the presence of a large body standing before me. I can see nothing but a dark, massive outline. This actually also sounds a little bit like a shirt-ripping housewife. Yeah, it does, kind of. Then something happened. The smaller bodies came close like they were its children. One of them stepped onto my body. I couldn't breathe. It walked across me, and it did this two more times. The steps went over to my father's cot and eventually trailed off out of our camp. We could hear the family of footsteps leave. I laid completely still, unable to move. The next morning, I knew what we had experienced was real, and something I never wanted to experience again. Okay. You have just entered the Twilight Zone. Oh my gosh. So one, this is written like a novel, which I understand it's a writer writing what they heard their friends say. I understand that part. But there's a couple of things that really kind of stuck out to me. One, they're on cots, but something stepped on them. What crappy campers they are. If you're going to camp under the stars, why do you have a cot? Well, if you're laying on them, that's fine. I don't mind laying on the cot out in the woods. It's the problem with it is, is something steps on you. It's going to break the cot. It's going to break the cot, and it's going to crush you because these things weigh 800 pounds at least. So. Yeah. So there's a bunch of little things in this that I kind of have a little bother with. So. Okay. I agree. Raptor, it sounds like it was a little bit embellished. Yeah, I believe it was. So. It sounds like the great beginning to a fantastic, fantastic novel. All right, this is interesting because I had brought up the Book of Mormon. Would you stop scrolling? You're making, you're getting, oh my gosh. Well, so. So, okay, so like, here's our AI script, everyone. So we can, all right, so the main point. So someone has an encounter, tells a friend, and then this friend, it looks like the writer of this now has to go on to the deep dive. What is Bigfoot? And here it says, you know, this story has haunted me. What were they? Are they peaceful? Are they spirits, demons? Mormons believe Bigfoot is the spirit of Cain. New-agers believe he's an alien. I'm gonna say right there. Somehow, I don't think that Dr. Jeff believes that, and Dr. Jeff is a very devout Mormon. Yes, he is. And does he believe that Bigfoot is the spirit of Cain? No. And I don't know if I would consider myself a new-ager, but I don't believe that Bigfoot is at all an alien, not even slightly. So right there, I think, personally, this writer is full of stuff and nonsense. I don't know where this writer got their information. Did this article come with references? Okay, so my personal opinion just with this little bit was that this is a fluff piece written for clicks. Yeah. So they wanna know that the speculation in this whole piece is, are they demons? And one of the things that cracked me up too is this picture right here. They talk about how Bigfoot is known all over the world, which is true. And they have their own- They have the worst pictograph possible that's not a Bigfoot. In fact, Dr. Jeff has a whole talk about monkeys with big, you know- And honestly, go back to that. Does that even remotely look like something that was drawn 3,000 years ago? No, it does not. It looks like a cartoon that was drawn last week. Or a chimp, a bonobo chimp. But does it look like, no, does it look like something that an indigenous tribal member would have drawn? No, it's not. This is not a pictograph. It is not. This is what we would commonly call rock vandalism. So I do wanna, if Hannah would read this quote for us. Which one? Or I- I'm a romantic. I would like Bigfoot to exist. I've met people who swear they've seen Bigfoot. And I think the interesting thing is, every single continent, there is an equivalent of Bigfoot or Sasquatch. There's the Yeti, the Yowie in Australia, the Chinese wild man, and on and on and on. Said Jane Goodall, one of our favorite historic primate researchers. Yep. Yeah, it was kinda funny. Actually, this was, we had a discussion like this when I was in college about this Jane Goodall quote about Bigfoot. So. All right, so. Okay, all right, well. So, initial reactions. I think it's absolutely ridiculous. And none of this resonates with my personal experience. Because we have camped without all that stuff. We have camped in hammocks with no technology. And all we got was mosquitoes wondering why they couldn't get in through the netting. No, nothing. And so. And we've also camped in hammocks with no electronic, well, with some electronics. And we got a photo of some eyes looking at us about eight foot tall in the woods from way back. Yes, so. One night, but that was it. And the only time I have been, and I certainly have not heard the pitter patter. Well, I have heard the pitter patter of little feet. And after the kids were grown and gone, it usually meant the cats were out. So, but not in the middle of the woods. And certainly not anything stepping on me. I mean, that is, I'm calling this absolute fiction. I think this writer made the whole damn thing up, actually. I don't even think that she had a friend who talked to her. Possibility. That's kind of where I'm going with it. Because no Bigfoot encounter worth, no Bigfoot encounter witness worth his salt would even go here. So anyway, that's me.

Okay, so our AI, chat GPT has told us to talk about how has this universal figure persisted across different cultures? AI is here to stay. We may as well use it, right? Well, it is most certainly persisted for thousands of years. There's a, I should have brought it up. I don't have it. What are you looking for? There's a verse I often, it just popped in my head just now. Which one is it? I might not know off the top of my head. The sons of man, daughters of man, sons of God. It says in the book of Genesis, it said that the sons of God looked upon the daughters of man and saw that they were beautiful and they went and had their wicked way with them. So that, and that's where, that's where the myth of the, and I don't mean myth like untrue, but that's where the tradition of Nephilim come in was because apparently the Nephilim were the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of man. Now I could go down a lovely, lovely ancient aliens rabbit hole and completely do something different with the sons of God and the daughters of man, but I won't do that tonight because you don't like that. Anyway, so it's Genesis six, four. There were giants in the earth in those days, the Titans. And also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bear children to them, the same became mighty men, which were of old men of renown. So man, quoting King James here. Anyway, so, and so is that possibly or is Bigfoot in the Bible? I don't think it's talking about Bigfoot. I don't think it is either, but I've got my, I didn't bring my tinfoil hat either, but here's my theory on this, on that particular verse is the Bible talks about the creation of Adam and Eve. And I believe that's who they're talking about here, the sons of God. I don't think they're talking about angels here. I think they're talking about the Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel. They're the sons of God. And then, but there were people here that were created or were here already, humans. We know there's hundreds of different kinds of humans. So that means that Adam and Eve and their offspring might not have been human. But they, so the sons of God that created chosen people. Go read, go read the Eden series by Paul Anthony Wallace. Yeah. You know, we're with the humans that were here already. Oh, Sapien made it with Neanderthal. And I think, yeah, true. But then I think that Bigfoot in my own theory is human, just an older version that hasn't went extinct yet. That has absolutely nothing to do with the verse you just read. No, it doesn't. But they were the humans that were here, the daughters of man. That's who Bigfoot is. The original humans. Okay. All right, let's get away from that little thing. Anyway, but that would explain, honestly, you know, I too, after having done my own, my own, you know, exploration and thinking about this, you know, I think Bigfoot is the indigenous being of this planet, the indigenous human-like being of this planet, which would be much more, much more self-aware and much more self-conscious than the average mammal. So I believe they've been here as long as us, if not longer. Probably longer. Scott, are you saying that maybe Bigfoot was a messed up version of humans from Enoch? No, Bigfoot was the original human, period. Was the daughters of man. Yeah, the original, the original bipedal creature of this planet that evolved or whatever that was designed to thrive in the flora and fauna and environment, the natural environment that this planet started out in. And Bigfoot's just a version of that that has adapted over the years. Yeah. And hasn't went extinct yet. Okay, so, so I like this question. How could Bigfoot actually reflect a society's spiritual or environmental beliefs? We talked a lot with Tom Seawood about this. And, and this, boy, now it's hotter than Hades in here. Yeah. And to the Kwakwaka'wakw tribe, which Tom Seawood is from, from British Columbia, they, they consider Bigfoot to be the keepers of the medicine. They are, and, and that, that does. Well, that's the Omaha tribe. I thought it was the Kwakwaka'wakw. No, the Oma from the Omaha tribe. But yes, them too. Okay, whatever. Anyway, so if, if Bigfoot, and Tom said that, that the keepers of the medicine have forgotten more medicine than we could ever learn about, you know, there's, and, and that means they, they are closely aligned with and tied to the planet, to the environment. They have the natural wisdom of this planet. And so anyway, and I think our, and even what we got from the Miss Kalero Apache a few weeks ago, demonstrated some of that, you know, so very, very much the indigenous people of, of our world closely, closely associate Bigfoot with environment, being a steward of the environment and being a guardian of the planet. So I think that's where that ties in. So now what? Now what? So I was looking further down the article here. Oh, that's making me sick. He's scrolling the article on the TV screen rather than the computer screen, and it's going to cause me to become epileptic or something. Anyway, so. So it goes into this whole thing about. Okay. He talks about, the writer talks about his friend saying that he grew up, that he grew up with a mother who had grown up in a witch's household and is always talking about not leaving the door open for Satan. A lot of the same things that I was exposed to when I was growing up. But here is the final encounter. After the Oregon trip, I went back home to the Northeast. We, this is the friend who's telling this writer his experience. We lived tucked away in the woods. I kept thinking about the leader of the group telling me that I didn't need to look for them anymore because they would find me. I had half the right mind to never go searching again, but I told myself I would try one last time in the comfort of my own backyard, and then I would back off. My flesh did not want me to back off. It was fighting me. I went out back where our shed stood in the far left corner of the yard. I hid my cup behind it so it would be out of sight for my wife because I knew she would make fun of me. I stood there looking at it on the ground in broad daylight, and I said out loud, I'll be here tonight. I'll be right here. I thought if I said it out loud, they might know. I felt ridiculous. At that moment, my cell phone rang in my pocket, and it was my son. He asked me if I wanted to go to this church event with the grandkids, and I hadn't seen them in a few weeks, so I said, of course. I went to the event and spent time with the family and ended up being out later than expected. By the time I got home, I was so tired and craving a good night's rest in my own bed, so I did just that and said I'd go out tomorrow. In the early morning, my wife woke up and went to the shower. The second the water turned on, I heard the metal ladders in the shed all clang to the ground. I shot up in the bed, hands trembling. It felt as if they were trying to tell me something like, where are you? I sat there in bed and turned the lamp on. I knew they were out there. Okay, what do you have to say about that there, honey? I think this is fabulous fiction. Okay, with that said, I know people that have had amazing, amazing encounters. I guess it comes down, I think it comes down to this, because he talks more about demons and deceptions, or she, or whatever, and they go into mine speak and telepathy and how that's satanic and all that, and I guess it comes down to your worldview. So I grew up in a culture that was very, very much like this writer's probably, very, it was bathed, saturated in good versus evil and God created everything and Satan tricked man and screwed up God's plan, and now we're in this massive war between angels and demons and God and Satan, and even though we know God's gonna win, we saw this battle and if you don't believe the right thing and say the right thing and say the right prayer, you're on the side of Satan. But even with that, Bigfoot didn't phase me. I mean, if I had any thoughts about Bigfoot in this context at all, it would be, it's just a creature we haven't discovered yet. So I'm sorry, and this puff piece here ends with a freaking altar call. So yeah, I'm not, no, no, I'm just not, I'm just not going there, can't do it, can't do it. And now with that said, I very am very aligned with the idea of the world being far more, our universe being far more than we understand it. If you wanna call that spiritual, you can call that spiritual, but I am not gonna go with Bigfoot is a demon, and sorry, there's nothing about this article that makes me go, this is actually describing a true encounter, nothing, absolutely nothing. So demons smell of sulfur, so do volcanoes. You know, sulfur smell is not a report we get. We get skunk, wet dog. Yeah. And I've smelt it myself and did not detect sulfur. Yeah, so. Does Scott say? Are you gonna go get his cameras? Are you gonna go get my cameras in the morning, buddy? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, so Scott also said, they're just another one of God's creatures, correct? Yeah, I mean, just like everything. Yeah, so if, so, and this is where I always go. If you are, and if this is your world to you, more power to you, and I don't have any judgment or condemnation for that, but how big is your God? And how easily is your God defeated by something like a big gorilla? Or a demon. So, roger that, yeah. If they're still there. Right, give me a call, let me know when you get there, buddy. So anyway, all right, do we have anything else to show people? Yeah, we do. It's a weird show tonight, but honestly, we have nothing else to talk about. But we got a lot to talk about next week. Actually, I wanna throw out, this Friday's video's gonna be a shocker for you, so you need to really tune into that, the Footprint Friday show this week. And if you are a member on Patreon or YouTube, you actually get our Footprint Friday videos early. When I post them, it's usually Monday or Tuesday, is when I get them uploaded, and you get early access on that. And something we wanna talk about, what we do with the money we get from Patreon and from YouTube. If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you need to. Wrong button. At Squatch America, we're not just searching for Bigfoot. We are giving back to those who serve. Every donation through YouTube and Patreon helps us to support The Fallen Outdoors, a veterans-led organization who takes heroes out hunting, fishing, and camping. But that's not all. We take veterans on real Bigfoot research expeditions, where they can enjoy the great outdoors, and maybe, just maybe, discover something legendary. Join us in giving back. Support Squatch America today for the adventure, for the veterans, and for the wild. So if you subscribe on YouTube and any super chats we get here, and if you can go to Patreon, the link's in the description below, helps us to support taking veterans out. And we've got a trip coming up planned right here in Texas. Yep. So, question. Christina, I wish you had more time. We love doing these things, and we're not planning on stopping, short of Armageddon itself. But, so any questions? I mean, what does, you know, Raptor said that, you know, he believes that Bigfoot is a subspecies of human that we just never really discovered, and the Patterson-Gimlin film was a lucky coin-kidding. It was. Which it was, that is the truth, yes, and you know. So, any questions? And what do you guys think about this article? And did you put a link to the article in the description? No, I will. Yeah, so if you wanna read the article for yourself, I just think it's way too sensational. But, with that said, maybe this guy did have something, because the power of our mind is something else, and that is something that I have seen over and over again, is that when you believe something deeply enough, your body goes along with you. And that's why, I don't know if y'all knew this, but I think in every state but Oregon, because Oregon's just, anyway, every state but Oregon, lie detector tests are not considered admissible evidence in a court of law, because if you believe it, the lie detector will think you're telling the truth. And so, if someone, if this, let's say this really happened, and someone actually believed that he was going to see something, or hear something, or experience something, and you read it in there, I mean, he was anticipating this horrific encounter even before he got there. Your mind can manufacture experiences that align with what your belief is. And so, when I was growing up, you know, like, demon exorcisms, with, yeah, the article's total Hong Kong phooey. Yeah. Totally agree with that. But, you know, we had, I'm just gonna say, we had camp counselors casting demons out of camp first, at church camp, and they were having experiences, and it's just the power of your mind over your experience of reality. And if you anticipate, and I went through that as a young woman in the Pentecostal movement, just, you know, if you believe strongly enough that if you throw up in church, it meant a demon was leaving your body, then a demon was leaving your body, rather than just being highly histrionic in the moment. Yeah. Which I now look back and going, oh my gosh. Anyway, no offense to anyone who likes to throw up demons in a paper bag, but, you know, there you are. Yeah. We're really kind of, I don't know how, what are, is this a good idea? I don't know. But, anyway, if you have more ideas of what we could talk about on NICE that we don't have, that we haven't been out exploring, or that we don't have special guests, put them in the chat, because we would love to go down some rabbit trails that don't involve. Yeah, and next week we're probably going down some rabbit trails. We're doing an interview with a couple people who just got back from the Strange Days conference. Are we gonna air that next week? Yeah. Okay. All right, yes. So, next week, we will not be doing a live. We will be doing a watch party. So, for a premiere. A premiere, because our guests can't make it on our time, so we're gonna prerecord it and have it up for you. So, any thoughts? Are we gonna have an early night? We could. There's nothing there. There's no questions in the chat. A lot of our regulars must be out watching, I don't know, what season is it? I don't know. We're coming into, we're at the end of, oh, we're at the end of football season. High school football. The end? Yeah, getting toward, so. All right, so what's coming up for us? Not a whole lot. We are going to be spending the winter in Texas. Then we'll be jumping into the Bigfoot Festival season, but shocker, folks. We're not doing a lot of them. We're not doing a lot of them this year on purpose. And we are concentrating on. Content. We're concentrating on getting a really solid membership community developed. And all the things that we have said, we want to do this, we want to do that. We are sacrificing festival, frenetic festivals, so that we have time to develop Squatch America like we want it. So we'll be doing a lot of outings, even with you guys. And we'll be concentrating on the East Coast. We haven't got back here. The Great Lakes. The Great Lakes, those in the East Coast. This year, we've spent the last. Three years. Three years on the West Coast with all our West Coast friends. We love you guys a lot. We're going to miss you, but we're going to spend this summer. Into next year. Into next year on the East Coast and the South. Yes. Speaking of the South, pray for those folks in Florida and North Carolina and the people in Florida again. So. Mike Prine says, CNN missing link solved. Yeah, exactly. So. Yep. So that's it. We're 15 minutes early. Well, let's see if there's anything else. Nah. Some big foot go with the star people. That, you know, so. I have a little saying about, a little thought about that. If you see a UFO land and a deer walks out of the woods, do you equate the deer with the UFO? If you see a UFO land and a big foot walks out of the woods, why do you equate the big foot with the UFO? I know why. Maybe it's just getting away from the UFO. Because at some point in our distant past, big foot was invaded by the people on the UFO. They don't want any more of those probes. Yeah, exactly. So I'm dead serious. I mean, you know, because that's what makes sense to me. Hi, Doc. Hey, reach out anytime. Anyway. Yeah. Let us know. Why do you say, why? These were pants. Absolutely. Yeah, I agree. Why do people say that big foot and UFOs are connected? And for what reason? It was done off of an 80s TV show. What, ALF? You talking about ALF? No, Bigfoot. What was the 80s TV show connecting Bigfoot and the UFO? Yeah, what was that show after? I'm trying to guess. Bigfoot shows in the 80s. Six Million Dollar Man? But that was a UFO. Well, it was a bionic Bigfoot. I don't know. Michelle, I think we have two shot glasses available. Yeah. We'll send them to you. So yeah, email us your stuff. Yeah. And I can throw up. Look, I know where to push the button. Send us an email at scratchamerican.com, Michelle. And while you're at it, go back there. Like, share, and comment. Do the things. Please. Oh, I got a better one than that. Do you? Well, then do it. But you don't know where it is. Yes, I do. No, you don't. Yes, I do. Watch this. This is so cool. Oh, that is kinda cool. Like, share, and comment. Do all the things. Help us grow our channel. We are decently over 3,000, but now we're working on 4,000. Yep. So, said it was a documentary on Discovery Channel. Oh, okay. Well, that must have been in the early days of Discovery Channel. Yeah, probably was. I'll look that up. Bigfoot and Wild Boy. Yeah. I haven't heard of it. Oh, I've heard of Bigfoot and Wild Boy. What's that about? It was a. Really horrible? Yeah, serious. Okay. James Lemons, well, hello. I don't think we've seen you here before. You saw Bigfoot in Arkansas. I believe you. Well, awesome. Tell us all about it. You can go to scratchamerica.com. Look, I'll do it. I'll do the fancy thing. You can go to scratchamerica.com. No, that's not it. That is it. Oh, yeah. See the banner? It's a CNN banner down below. Scratchamerica.com and fill out a report form. Yep, and we'd love to. We'd love to hear about your encounter. And we'll get in touch with you and talk about it. Yes, and actually, when we're at Tawakoni, we'll be a spit distance from Falk. Yep. So. We might jump over and spend a day in Falk, Arkansas just for fun. Yeah, whereabouts in Arkansas are you, James? Yep, and we're gonna be spending a few days in Arkansas next spring. Are we gonna go visit our friends there? Possibility. All right. Hey, Todd and Angela, get ready. Big ones and little ones, black and red. That's pretty, yep, okay. Prometheus and Bob. Never heard of that one. Is that from Spongebob? No. Oh, I don't know. That sounds like a Spongebob reference, but I don't know. So Prometheus was an Aliens movie, spinoff, that movie. All right, we're wasting their time at this point. It's actually been, so I was up really late last night and did not sleep well, and I'm tired. There's another comment in the comments, but. But anyway, that PBS was on that show, all that on Nickelodeon, Caveman and Aliens short. Yes, I knew that was Prometheus. Oh, I knew it was something like Spongebob. Yeah. It was one of those ridiculous things. Okay, well, yeah, James, get in touch with us, and because we're gonna be a little bit later this season, we're gonna be closer to Arkansas, and we've got some good friends in Arkansas that we wanna go see. So, you know, hey, maybe we could turn it into a trip. Maybe we could. So as far as this article on Blaze TV goes, I think it was just for clicks. Yeah, and maybe Tiger Lily is really devoutly convinced. I don't know. So we're going to call. A bullshit? A bullshit. I love him. All right. Oh, it's terrible. I shouldn't love a little child saying that, but he's so frickin' cute, and he knows he's adorable. Yeah. All right. So thank you, Chad GPT, for your interview prompts. Yeah. We got nothing else for you, BS. Yes. BS for the win. I don't think the UFOs are picking up or dropping off Bigfoot. I don't think they're connected anymore. I don't think they're connected in any way. And a funny thing Elon Musk just said, it was hilarious. I saw it. It was in his interview with Tucker Carlson recently. He said, we have 6,000 satellites in space now, and they're shooting them up all the time. And he says, I haven't had to move one for a UFO yet to get through. So. That's the thing. I'll bet they drive better than that. Yeah, probably. And I think UFOs are further up than the satellites. We've seen the Starling satellites launch before. Yeah, it was fun. And they are not as high up as we see the UFOs. Yeah. So. Well, I don't know, that UFO Scott and I saw last time was below the treetops. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, is there anything else? For the good of the order? Yeah. So thank you, folks. Yeah, we will have a good night. We'll rest and recoup. And stay tuned for the drop on Friday. It is going to be. Amazeballs. Amazeballs legendary. So I'm just gonna say, eat your heart out, money maker. Okay. Just a little prompt there. So there's that. That if you're watching. Yeah. Which you probably know. So that's it. All right. As always, make sure you've liked, subscribed, share this if you dare. This may not be one of our more share worthy things, but please remember that our job is to investigate the unexplained. Not to explain the uninvestigated. And sometimes that means calling a bullshit on the bullshit. So. Okay. So until next week, you keep watching. And we'll keep squatching. And go out and find Bigfoot.
