And they're pretty fucking badass.
If you want to get yourself into caveman shape, if you want to train like Brock Lesnar does in the countdown shows, if you want to Do some manly man working out.
brian redban
Or if your girlfriend has big boobs, it's probably cool to watch her do it.
joe rogan
Oh, the ropes?
Yeah.
You don't want to watch the kettlebells.
What if she accidentally slams them in?
brian redban
Chips her teeth.
joe rogan
And bruises them.
If you've never seen kettlebells before, they look like a cannonball with a handle on it.
It's, in my opinion, the most effective way to produce functional strength for martial arts, especially for Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai and things like that.
That's mostly what I do for my strength and conditioning.
Kettlebells, and I do bodyweight squats and chin-ups and stuff like that, and dips.
It's a brutal, brutal way to work out.
There's one DVD that I recommend always to everybody.
If you can get it, it's all sold out now because I recommend it so much.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's called the Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Workout.
This guy kicks your ass with one kettlebell.
It's like one 35-pound kettlebell, and it's fucking brutal.
You'd think, I'm a manly man.
A 35-pound kettlebell, what kind of a fucking pussy workout am I going to get with that Trust me.
You'll get a workout, a brutal workout with just bodyweight squats.
Just look up Hindu squats, do 200 of them in a row, and get back to me.
See what I'm talking about, bitch?
We're talking crazy shit here today.
I'm getting fired up, ladies and gentlemen, because James Bobo Fay is on the podcast.
We're going to talk some Bigfoot, you sons of bitches.
We're going to get down to the nitty gritty.
We're going to let people know what the fuck ticks.
unidentified
Word.
joe rogan
Yeah, word.
So go to Onnit.com.
That's our sponsor.
Thanks also to Alienware for hooking us up with some fucking sweet computers.
And if you can, follow them on Twitter, Alienware MMA. They sponsor a lot of good fighters and make it a lot easier for these guys to compete and pay their bills and pay for training and all that stuff.
So we support them here at the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast.
All right, James Bobo Faye is here.
And his dog's here.
What's your dog's name again, man?
unidentified
Monkey?
Monkey.
joe rogan
Monkey's here.
Hey, Monkey.
All right, let's get this motherfucker started, Brian.
james bobo fay
She's actually a squash tracking dog.
joe rogan
An official squash tracking dog.
unidentified
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day.
Joe Rogan podcast by night.
All day.
Dude.
joe rogan
That's a new one.
I'm not sure I like it.
That new fade-out you do at the end, you crafty devil.
That's a Squatch-trained dog, ladies and gentlemen.
If you hear a dog or see a dog, if you're watching us on Ustream or Vimeo, and you see a dog in the background, that is actually a Squatch-trained dog.
And this is an official Squatch hat.
This is a gone Squatchin' hat.
Can you sell these?
Because if you don't, you should.
Because they'll sell like fucking crazy.
james bobo fay
I thought Animal Planet...
Trademarked it.
They thought I did.
joe rogan
Oh, so nobody did?
Did somebody else trademark it?
james bobo fay
Buy some guy in Taiwan now.
joe rogan
Oh, those sons of bitches.
Just fucking sell it and make them sue you.
Dude, because everybody would want an official Bobo gone squatching hat.
james bobo fay
They sold tens of thousands on Cafe Press.
joe rogan
Cafe Press, though, like, anybody could go on Cafe Press and pretty much, like, make your own shirt, though, right?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
Last time I looked, there was, like, 670 websites selling those hats.
joe rogan
Oh, that's hilarious.
james bobo fay
I know.
joe rogan
Dude, you've created, like, are you looking at your Twitter right now?
james bobo fay
Oh, no.
I fucking...
Oh, sorry.
I promised my buddy I'd text him when it started because they were driving.
joe rogan
Are you trying to text him right now?
james bobo fay
I would say it's on.
It's on.
joe rogan
When I was a little kid, I went camping with my parents.
I was probably like six.
And we were in Yosemite.
And I met a dude who was a trapper.
He gave me like some stinky fucking feet of like animals.
He killed like bobcats and stuff.
But when you're six, it's badass.
You're like, whoa, this is cool.
But, you know, that's when I got obsessed with Bigfoot, was talking to this guy.
Because he 100% believed in Sasquatches.
And I remember I was six years old when he told me this.
He was just saying that the woods are so dense, there's no way everybody's been to every part of it.
There's no way.
He's like, if you fly over the Pacific Northwest, I guess that's the only time where you really get a true sense of how dense it is.
Because we kind of think of it like...
Especially the Pacific Northwest, we kind of think of it as like, you know, yeah, there's Seattle, and there's Portland, and there's some cities up there, and I guess there's highways.
Dude, a giant chunk of that is just fucking dense rainforest.
A lot of people are not aware of that, and that's the majority of sightings in America, right?
james bobo fay
The most, but what people trip on is they're all, they're continent-wide.
They're worldwide.
joe rogan
How is it possible that something could be continent-wide and the only video footage available in 2012 is that shitty Patterson film?
Whoa!
Patterson, I think he's a fraud, dude.
james bobo fay
No!
joe rogan
What happened?
We lose the camera?
You think it's real?
james bobo fay
Dude, I was just with Bob Gimlin.
joe rogan
That was a very emotional response.
See that?
james bobo fay
If you were to sit your dad outside, deliver the table.
joe rogan
No, I'm saying, wasn't Patterson known to be a con man?
Listen, I believe firmly, Jane Goodall believes 100% that there's a Sasquatch.
I believe very firmly it's very possible.
I think that if they found one, all of a sudden people would start, you know, it would make sense to people.
There's all sorts of primates all over this planet.
And they know that Gigantopithecus lived with people in Asia, like, you know, thousands and thousands and thousands of years ago.
And the real legit scientists that talk about Bigfoot say it's very possible that an animal came down with humans during the Bering Strait But, you know, realize humans are cunts.
They're a pain in the ass.
They'll fucking shoot you.
They stab you.
They make rugs on you.
Let's hide.
Exactly.
Let's go hide in the woods.
james bobo fay
Show me a big animal that we don't kill out in the woods.
joe rogan
It's true.
Oh, we would definitely kill one.
For sure.
james bobo fay
Well, they have been killed.
joe rogan
There's a guy who's on YouTube right now.
I'm subscribed to the Bigfoot Report on YouTube.
You know, whenever a new video comes up, they'll send me an email.
But there's a guy who claims he killed Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
He did.
joe rogan
You really think so?
james bobo fay
I bought that camera because I got invited to go on the body recovery mission last year, and it's a real story.
joe rogan
But where's the body?
james bobo fay
What happened was, I'll just give it a rundown real quick.
I'm actually friends with the guy.
I thought I'd never be friends with the guy that shot a squash.
joe rogan
He shot the baby, right?
james bobo fay
Yeah, he shot a doll and a baby.
First, what happened, they were driving, they were doing a U-turn.
They just saw a warden, and they were doing a U-turn way up in the Sierra Nevada.
It was about 8,500 feet.
It was like Halloween, I think, or the day before Halloween.
joe rogan
The Sierra Nevadas are in California?
Yeah.
james bobo fay
The huge mountains, like Tahoe, all the way down to Kern County.
joe rogan
What is it?
james bobo fay
Yeah, they run from Kern County up to Oregon border, basically.
joe rogan
Okay.
And that area, though, like Northern California?
james bobo fay
It's like 400 miles long and 50 miles wide.
joe rogan
That's a big Bigfoot sighting area, right?
james bobo fay
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So this guy didn't believe in Bigfoot or anything.
He's a total redneck, like...
Like, likes to just kill shit out in the woods.
joe rogan
Right.
james bobo fay
And the big adult came out and was waving its hands and wiggling its fingers.
They'll wave their hands and wiggle their fingers to show that they're not bears.
We think.
I mean, they're pretty smart.
They're like people.
So...
He draws a beat on it.
His buddy had just come back.
This guy, Jack, had just come back from Iraq and Afghanistan combat vet.
He just was over seeing stuff shot.
First, he said, don't shoot it.
It could be a person in a suit.
Justin was looking through the scope, and he's looking at it going, it's not a person.
He could see it through the scope.
It was a squatch.
But it wasn't one of those big buff ones.
He said it looked real frumpy, kind of like saggy, like wasn't sure if it was older or what.
So he started squeezing one off, and when the thing realized he was going to pull the trigger because they were locking eyes, he turned and he shot it through the ribs, like lung shot, and it dropped, went down like to a sprinter position, then got up and sprinted super fast, stumbled once.
And they went crashing down on this Manzanita.
Well, they get out of the truck and they're walking down there.
They never even thought of Bigfoot.
They're walking down there.
They're tripping balls.
They just saw a huge thing.
They called it a monster, shot it.
It ran off.
They're looking for the ball.
They heard it crash down on the brush.
This guy's a registered bear hunting guide.
So he said he could tell it.
That was the sound it makes when it crashes.
Well, they got about 40 yards.
It was about 70, 80 yards when he shot it.
They got about 40 yards there.
And right where the thing was around, two identical twin babies, like the size of three or four-year-old kids, but with way bigger heads, came out of the brush and were running around looking for the parent.
And they were running back and forth.
He was going to shoot one of the babies right off the bat, and his buddy wouldn't let him.
I kept yelling, don't.
Don't do it.
I'll kick your ass.
You shoot that thing.
Don't shoot it.
Things were running around for like 10 minutes.
They couldn't find the adult.
Then they realized, okay, there's two babies and they were identical twins.
They'd run around.
They'd sniff the ground and look around on all fours, like totally, totally comfortable on all fours, like quadruped, you know, just run around.
When they came near each other, they'd get up on two legs and they'd come up face to face.
And he said, they sound like two profoundly mute people talking.
They go, like just real guttural sounds.
But like he said, like a language.
And they'd get back down.
They were moving down.
And they were working their way towards where they heard the body crash.
And they realized, well, shit.
They thought it was they shot the mom.
So they're like, well, if we just shot the mom, then daddy's probably around.
Like, this thing's eight foot.
What they shot was probably eight foot tall, 600 pounds.
Sort of thinking, well, shit's getting dark.
We don't want to be here.
And Jack and Justin split up because they're covering different territory.
And one of the little babies came up, like, where that wall is and just stood on this rise.
We went to the spot with him.
We went, like, Dr. Meldrum went, and Mayan Chinsky, like, the big-name guys, scientists.
We went out there when the snow melted the next summer.
joe rogan
Are these the big-name guys that believe in Bigfoot?
Oh, yeah.
james bobo fay
Well, no.
Belief's for shit you can't see, right?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Well, they know it exists.
james bobo fay
Well, like people believe in Jesus, but I never found like a Jesus hair or a Jesus track or a Jesus shit in the woods, you know, or Jesus killed an elk or anything.
joe rogan
What have you found personally?
So you're saying, let's go finish the story because this guy shot one of the babies.
First of all, what a dick.
james bobo fay
I know.
joe rogan
He feels bad now, but I... I couldn't even tell that story, you know?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
Why the fuck would you shoot a baby?
james bobo fay
I know, dude.
Well, he wanted to prove the story was real.
He's just a redneck dude that kills shit for fun.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
That kind of mindset, you know?
He's not a bad dude.
That's just how he was raised.
And he's actually a smart dude when you get to talk to him because you think he's just some dumb shit redneck.
When you talk to the guy, he's a pretty sharp dude.
joe rogan
But why didn't he take a video?
They didn't have a camera.
He didn't have a cell phone with him?
james bobo fay
These dudes are pretty redneck.
unidentified
It's 2012. Yeah, this was October 2000. Whatever.
joe rogan
11, 10. Right.
How could you not have a cell phone?
james bobo fay
Dude, I'm not justifying what he did.
I'm just saying what happened.
joe rogan
I watched his video and my bullshit alarm went off.
james bobo fay
Oh, no, dude.
Well, I'll tell you what happened.
So he shot it in the thing.
It rolled down the hill.
He picked it up and just watched it die in its hands.
Then his buddy started screaming at him.
He said he stuck the body into this bush.
They took off, got out of there, and they were on a hunting website.
And one of our buddies, Derek Randall, talked to him on the website, whatever, like a chat room for hunters.
He's like, I shot a couple.
He kind of joked and said, how would you mount a Bigfoot?
And then he's all, no, I really did.
I really did.
He's all, dude, you look at that body, I'll give you a million dollars.
joe rogan
Right, but all you have right now is just a guy with a story.
james bobo fay
No, no.
He came back and brought, when he picked up the baby, it bled on his boot.
So there's blood on the boot from the baby.
They went back out there and it snowed like three and a half feet and they're digging six by six foot holes down through the snow.
They're out there for like, I forget what he said, like eight hours digging, digging.
And then his bloodhound, they found where they thought it would crash.
They found it.
Like when a mammal dies, how all the grease comes out of the ass.
It lays like a grease slick there.
And they found out it looked like a bear had fed on it because it was just torn up.
And there was actually some bear prints in the snow as they dug through.
joe rogan
Which does happen to any animal that dies in the woods.
People always say, when was the last time you saw a dead deer in the woods?
They don't last very long.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
If they're there a couple of days, something finds it.
james bobo fay
Oh, yeah.
It starts getting torn up.
And then, like, rodents eat the bones.
Porcupines eat the bones.
Like, whatever.
And so...
Where was I? Oh, they went back out there.
His bloodhound puppy found a chunk of meat and flesh.
He couldn't tell.
It looked like the same colors he got.
And it was like...
I saw it.
It's grayish white with brown mixed in, kind of multicolored.
And it's weird coarse hair and it matches.
That is the catalyst.
The centerpiece of the DNA study is that piece of meat.
That's the first one they got because it snowed right on it.
That was the first whole...
joe rogan
And what is it?
Have they done an analysis of it?
james bobo fay
They've mapped the whole genome.
joe rogan
What is it?
james bobo fay
It's what the guys that are working on it called as a relic hominid.
And it's not a gigantopithecus.
joe rogan
Really?
So they're 100% convinced it's not a chimp, it's not any other kind of animal?
james bobo fay
Oh yeah.
Wordly guy.
joe rogan
Who is this guy that has done this study?
james bobo fay
It's a woman named Melba Ketchum, and there's a lot of controversy around her, and there's some weird stuff about her, for sure, like things she's done and said.
joe rogan
Is she crazy?
james bobo fay
No, I don't know.
joe rogan
A little bit?
james bobo fay
She's a woman.
joe rogan
There you go.
I was glad you said that.
brian redban
How many cats does she own?
joe rogan
How many crystals are around her neck?
james bobo fay
She's cool, but she has a big genetic lab.
joe rogan
Anyway, she's well-known, and What's the issue that people have with her?
james bobo fay
Well, because she had to come up with new...
God, I don't want to start talking too much detail.
When I read it, I understand.
joe rogan
Is it a business scandal?
james bobo fay
No, no, no.
She...
Well, I'll just say this.
From that, now Oxford University is doing a study over in England.
joe rogan
On the same...
james bobo fay
Well, I think they're getting some of that.
I mean, I'm not sure exactly.
I hear stuff from different people.
joe rogan
Uh-huh.
james bobo fay
And I was just with the guys that are running the DNA project this last week.
brian redban
Right.
james bobo fay
Last week.
I just left them two days ago.
And...
But there's other labs that you have to go through peer review, and you give them a sample, and they do the same test.
But she had come up with these new techniques that hadn't been used before, and so the other labs had to authenticate that, then replicate the process, and you had to replicate it twice, each other lab.
And the word is, and there's other scientists getting on board, because words leaked around in the community of those type of geneticists and stuff, is that it's real.
It's really close to human, whereas...
Chimps and gorillas have 98, 98.1% of the same DNA we have.
These are 99.5, 99.6.
The samples from Asia, the Yetis, were 99.4 to 99.5.
joe rogan
So what are the Yeti samples?
What were they proven to be?
james bobo fay
Well, see that was the thing.
There's these genetic markers.
They're really similar.
They're like a type of people.
The whole evolutionary chain they have, you know, is way out of whack.
joe rogan
I wasn't aware that there was this much conclusive evidence.
I'd never heard this before.
james bobo fay
Yeah, people...
joe rogan
Do you talk about it on the show?
james bobo fay
You know what's so aggravating?
It's real frustrating because we were like, you guys never put any real science in this show?
And they're like, yeah.
And I used to get in fights with them.
And I actually quit the show a bunch of times, like season one, like in between season one and season two.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
james bobo fay
Yeah, I was like, this isn't what I signed up for, you know, like some hokey ass reality show.
joe rogan
What was wrong?
What did you sign up for?
james bobo fay
Well, like they wouldn't, like we got some, you know, audio, we've got audio and stuff captured, and when you run through spectrographs, you can rule out, you can rule stuff out, you know, and a lot of times you'll get left with, the only thing that matches it would be like a howler monkey or something, or a gibbon, and then it goes out of range of that even.
joe rogan
You know my favorite story is Les Stroud from Survivor.
james bobo fay
Oh yeah.
joe rogan
Survivor Man.
That dude was in Alaska and apparently he was on a remote island.
And Alaska, for folks who don't know it, is more than a thousand islands.
Alaska has a fuckload of islands.
james bobo fay
Temperate rainforest in the southeast.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, he was camping there.
He was doing one of his survivor of things where he stays up all night and, you know, sleeps in a tent and makes his own food.
I mean, it's really, the show's amazing.
I love the guy.
Anyway, he was in Alaska by himself and he started hearing primate noises.
He heard like, woo, woo, woo.
Loud something that didn't sound anything like a bear.
He's like, this was like very distinct primate.
And he said, then I started to make some movement.
And when it realized that something was there, ran hard and fast through the woods.
He goes, I don't know what it is, but it was big and it was heavy.
And it ran through the woods and it sounded like it was making primate noises.
james bobo fay
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
To him, it was a real animal, and he suspects that it's probably Bigfoot.
And he's a guy that goes to these really remote places and stays for days and days, and I think he's got it in his head how there could be an animal like that that lives completely outside of human contact, and even in 2012 is yet to be discovered.
It's just, this guy's story sounds like bullshit.
I watched his story.
I watched him talk.
I watched him talk about shooting the thing, that it was a baby.
I was like, dude, you're an actor.
This is nonsense.
I didn't buy a word he was saying.
james bobo fay
He's taking a lot of grief, man.
And he's not making any money off it.
Like, they're doing a book on it, and he's done it.
joe rogan
People are crazy.
People are crazy.
james bobo fay
Check this out.
When I took him out, when we went out there, Monkey loves...
Like, she's played with Bigfoots before up in Bluff Creek.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
I didn't actually see her playing with it, but the only daylight setting I ever had was the same day she was in the brush in that same spot, running around, and I could hear something huge running back and forth.
Anyway, she gets excited.
She got her ribs all broke by a bear when she was a puppy, and she hates mountain lions.
joe rogan
Wow.
james bobo fay
And where he said he stuck the baby's body...
You'll never hear her make a noise.
She doesn't bark or anything.
She might maybe play growls a little bit, but she doesn't bark.
The whole week we were up there, the only time anyone heard her make any noise was when he said, yeah, I stuck it over that bush.
And she was just walking around sniffing.
She went over that bush where he said he stuck the baby body.
And she went crazy and started digging holes.
joe rogan
Did you guys try to figure out if it was there?
Did you try to dig it out?
james bobo fay
Dr. Meldrum had set up for some cadaver dogs to the Smithsonian and stuff like that to come out.
It was like a full, we had professional trackers and the cadaver people, we had two different sets of cadaver dogs.
They wouldn't do it because, the funny part was the lady had done search and rescue up in the mountains with the dogs too, like body recoveries.
She was certain that their Sasquatches lived there and it wasn't like, I don't want to do it, that's crazy, I don't want to be involved in something that's not real.
She was like, if it is Sasquatch and my dog picks up with that scent and tracks it, it wouldn't ever track humans again.
They only track one thing, those cadaver dogs.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah, that's what the handler said.
joe rogan
So if they trained it to track a Sasquatch, then they wouldn't work for humans anymore.
james bobo fay
Yeah, but if you got a dog that was trained to track Sasquatches, your dog probably wouldn't live long if it caught up to them.
joe rogan
You think they would eat the dog?
james bobo fay
They've been known to kill dogs pretty frequently.
Really?
Aggressive dogs.
Even dogs that were just minding their own business, they've killed them.
joe rogan
No shit.
james bobo fay
Yeah, but dogs barking getting aggressive, people say they'll see them kick them.
joe rogan
Do you know that anyone has had their dog killed against Sasquatch?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
They see it?
They see it happen?
james bobo fay
I talk to these natives.
We were down, squatching on the Hickory Apache Reservation in New Mexico, and they had one come up on the porch, and the female dog, Pitbull, was guarding her puppy.
They were like four-week, six-week-old puppies, and they were up on the side of my store.
It was morning.
The kids were watching cartoons, getting ready for school, eating breakfast, and the thing walked up on their porch.
And the dog was snarling and snapping and just walked up, lifted its leg and just crushed it, broke its back, like crushed it, and then stomped all the puppies and walked away.
joe rogan
Whoa.
Stomped a puppy.
So Bigfoot's a douchebag.
james bobo fay
I think they're like people, yeah.
Like some are total dicks and most of them are all right.
joe rogan
Now, what is the most conclusive evidence?
You think it's that Patterson footage?
Because I think that footage is horseshit.
james bobo fay
Dude, you're tripping.
joe rogan
I'm not.
james bobo fay
You're more wrong than you know.
joe rogan
Do you know that that guy was arrested for writing a fake check to pay for the very camera that he used to film that?
james bobo fay
Okay, you're talking about Greg Long's book.
joe rogan
I don't know what I'm talking about.
Is it not true?
james bobo fay
No, he had some financial difficulties for sure.
Bob Gibbon, the guy that was driving him, and the Apache Indian, the tracker guy, I mean, the guy's a legend, dude.
joe rogan
But there is one guy who has come out and said that it was a hoax and that he was a part of it, right?
That guy's a liar.
james bobo fay
He's some drunk neighbor guy that used to hang out with him that was...
Roger and Bob were real popular.
Roger Patterson and Bob Gillen.
They were like expert rodeo riders.
Bob Gillen's the baddest dude you'll ever meet, dude.
He was the number one ranked welterweight in the world when he got in a serious car wreck, ended his career.
He's in the Rodeo Hall of Fame.
He's like the best tracker hunter you ever saw.
He's 81. He's still out there like breaking horses and roping and...
joe rogan
And what part did he play in this?
james bobo fay
He was the other guy there with Roger when they filmed it.
joe rogan
Roger Patterson wasn't a con man?
james bobo fay
No.
joe rogan
Because I've read that he was a con man.
I've read that he was arrested for writing bad checks.
james bobo fay
Yeah, because he was so impassioned with the project, and he knew that it was real, and he was just...
Well, his brother-in-law was supposed to be funding this stuff.
This guy, Al D'Atli, was a millionaire up there.
And he...
It was like his brother-in-law, like, crazy Roger running around, whatever, I think.
And he was his partner on this, and then he was supposed to be putting funds in, and it didn't happen.
It wasn't like Roger was his total con man.
He was like, everyone...
People we've talked to say he's a good dude.
joe rogan
And he purposely went there to try to find a Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
No, he was there filming fresh tracks.
They were there to film the Blue Mountain trackway.
joe rogan
What does that mean?
james bobo fay
There were some sets of tracks that people had found.
joe rogan
Bigfoot tracks.
james bobo fay
Yeah, there were two sets.
joe rogan
But he was there to try to find Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
At that time, they were just looking for fresh tracks.
They never thought they'd see it, especially in the day.
joe rogan
Well, listen, man.
Nobody wants to believe Bigfoot more than me.
But when I look at that video footage, it looks fake.
james bobo fay
Dude, you're tripping.
joe rogan
It looks like a guy in a monkey suit.
I'm just being honest.
Pull it up, Brian.
Pull it up.
james bobo fay
You're way off.
brian redban
I think you're tripping off.
joe rogan
You think it's a real Bigfoot, Brian?
james bobo fay
I know it's real.
I saw one in the daylight.
joe rogan
Listen, I'm not saying that Bigfoot's not real.
I'm not saying that at all by any stretch of the imagination.
Look, Jane Goodall believes Bigfoot's real.
She said she believes 100% that there is some undiscovered primate in the Pacific Northwest.
I believe those were her exact words.
brian redban
What should I say?
joe rogan
Look up Bob Patterson Bigfoot footage.
james bobo fay
Roger Patterson.
Patterson.
Patterson.
joe rogan
Patterson Bigfoot footage, I'm sure, is good enough.
james bobo fay
And put up stabilized, because you want that.
joe rogan
Oh, that's it.
That shit's real as fuck.
That's funny.
Mexican border Bigfoot footage.
Here's a Bigfoot with a sombrero and a fucking bag of traffic.
That's hilarious.
james bobo fay
We talked to a Border Patrol agent, though, that was tracking some illegals coming across and saw Bigfoot down the mountains down in Arizona.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Okay.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Original footage.
brian redban
Yeah.
james bobo fay
Okay, for one thing, when she's walking, if you can...
See, that's not stabilized.
brian redban
Yeah, they're going to stabilize it in a second.
unidentified
Okay.
That looks like a dude in a monkey suit.
james bobo fay
Dude, you're so off.
The top expert guys in the world, like Chambers, that made the...
Okay, right.
Let's see, back a little bit more.
Her foot, they have a double...
If you look at that cast, they have a double ball foot.
And you can see it.
They just found this recently.
Right...
Yeah, you'd have to pause it.
joe rogan
You've got to pause it when she's picking her foot up.
james bobo fay
It's her left foot going down.
joe rogan
And it's a total girl?
Is that what they're saying?
james bobo fay
Oh, dude.
joe rogan
Big hairy ass tits.
Listen, I would love to believe that's a real big foot.
I really would.
unidentified
But it looks like a dude in a monkey suit.
james bobo fay
Nah, dude.
It's way bigger than a human.
joe rogan
Do they do the things that you guys do?
That's one of the things I really enjoy about your show, is that when someone has a video that they think it's Bigfoot, what they do is they send Bobo out, and Bobo's always bigger.
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because you're a big dude, but you're always bigger than what they thought was Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
Except for coming up this season, one of the episodes coming up.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
You got one?
james bobo fay
It's way bigger than me.
joe rogan
Well, they got Smart Season 2. They wisened up.
You know a lot of those people just want to be on TV, right?
On that show?
james bobo fay
No, a lot of them...
joe rogan
You don't think a lot of those people with their stories...
There was one guy...
james bobo fay
Some people, but what happens is we go there, right?
We have a network all across the country, like Bigfoot researchers.
There's a lot of academics, cops, fish and game officials, people that have seen them themselves, and they get into it.
joe rogan
Have you seen it yourself?
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
When have you seen it?
james bobo fay
The last one I saw, that's funny, the guy just called me, was with this guy, Jamie J. He was, you ever said maybe Black Hawk Down?
joe rogan
Yes.
james bobo fay
He was the real life dude, the fifth grade squad leader that shot their way out, like came out of that rescue house and came out and met up with them and then ran out front and shot his way out.
Me and that guy were up there and it was where I saw, my only daylight sighting was right on Bluff Creek where that was filmed, the PG, the Patterson film was filmed.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
So you saw one there?
james bobo fay
I saw when Monkey was playing that day in the brush where I thought she was going to get killed.
Earlier in that day, the only reason I saw it was she was staring at it.
It was leaning out behind a tree, and I saw it leaning out behind a tree for just that fat.
It just was gone.
I walked up there, and you can just smell that smell.
It was one of the only times I really smelled that smell real thick you hear about.
Because I haven't smelled that.
People always talk about that smell, but I've only smelled that.
joe rogan
Yeah, they call them skunk apes.
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah.
We think it's like a...
Like a secretion gland, like if they get agitated or scared or mad, it'll seep out.
Over millennia, human brain is, when that pheromone hits your brain, it just causes a total fear reaction.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's interesting.
So it's like, you know what a lot of people don't realize is that like the parts per million that a dog can smell of a person is very similar to what you can smell from a skunk.
james bobo fay
Right.
joe rogan
It's really interesting because you really think about how strong a skunk smell is.
You're in your car with the windows rolled up and you're driving like, oh, fucking skunk.
And that's outside.
It's outside nowhere near you and it's just a little tiny squirt.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Well, a dog can smell a person like that.
That is a trip, man.
That's a wild thing to think of.
And if we have a reaction to these things, some primordial reaction to these things, and that gland is just like a skunk gland, just like something that squirts out to us is really distinct.
unidentified
Right.
james bobo fay
Probably all animals fear that smell.
joe rogan
What was it like to you?
What was the smell like?
If you could describe it.
Is it possible?
james bobo fay
Yeah, I'll tell you this.
I walked through it, too, another time where it was real thick, where it just walked in front of us.
We missed it by minutes, where it walked in and broaded across the meadow in Hickory Apache Reservation.
I smelled it there, too.
It was like from here to the wall, and you could walk through it, and you'd just be like, ugh!
If there's no wind, right?
Because both these times there was not wind right then.
And it just hung so thick, and it was like...
Real musty, like a musk, and it was kind of sour, kind of sewage-y smell, like wet dog mix, like bear, like when a bear comes out in the spring when you smell bears when they come out of hibernation, like that kind of smell.
joe rogan
Just a stinky animal, fucking funk.
james bobo fay
And you would not...
Because I didn't smell it for a long time.
I was around them a long time until I smelled one.
I'd seen them and heard them around me before I'd ever smelled one.
joe rogan
What's the first time you saw one?
james bobo fay
The first one I saw was May 21, 2001. Where?
Up in Humboldt, up in the Bald Hills.
joe rogan
That's where you're from, right?
james bobo fay
I'm from down here originally, but I moved up there in the 80s.
joe rogan
It's nice up there.
james bobo fay
Oh yeah, it's beautiful.
So, I was with this cop and this probation officer guy, and then my buddy, I was all excited to go out with these guys, and I just brought a Gen 2 Ukrainian night scope.
That's when night vision and all that stuff was super expensive.
Nowadays, it would just be a piece of crap.
You could probably buy one for $100, but...
I never had one before, except for like little cheap, you know, big five ones.
And I left it on the porch when I was packing my truck to go out.
We were going to go squatching for a week.
And my buddy drove it up to me.
We were only there 20 minutes.
And it's a long story, dude.
No, it's okay.
Well, five nights before that, I'd had my first, for sure, unambiguous Sasquatch encounter.
Still to this day, it was the scariest moment of my life.
joe rogan
You didn't see it?
james bobo fay
No, I didn't see it, but I saw when they ran at me, when they bluff-charged me, there was like...
It was pitch black, but you could just see black on black moving.
You know what I mean?
You couldn't make out any form, but it was just a big couple of black shapes.
There was gaps between the trees.
There was starlight behind.
It was just like a black blur.
They ran on both sides of me.
I've been doing howls and growls.
I've done them all the time.
In hindsight, when we were logging up, they were like...
Probably about seven years earlier, six years earlier, further down that ridge line, we'd been logging there one summer, and they'd come around as much, but I didn't realize what they were doing.
I thought it was pot grower Indian dudes up there, because we were off the res, and there'd be knocks and whistles in the morning, and the Indian dudes wouldn't get out of the truck, but like, these dudes were like the baddest dudes on the res, like, no, I'd fuck with these guys.
And like if someone's gonna, they'd confront whoever, like these dudes were gnarly, burly Indian lager dudes, and they would just sit in the truck and knock it out until the sun came up.
Because we'd be up there sharpening our saws and stuff, getting ready, and just kind of stretching a little bit, and just getting ready for the day, and they wouldn't get out of the truck with those whistles and knocks, and they'd sit in the truck.
So I'd been around, but didn't know it.
And this time it was I was doing howls, and this thing came from the north.
joe rogan
Now, when you say you were doing howls, for folks who haven't seen the show, you imitate, like, what you've heard in recordings and what you know they believe are primate howls that they attribute to Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
Yeah, so there's a bunch of those you can find on the internet.
And I was doing those, and all of a sudden, I thought I heard a wolf howling back or, like, a wolf cross hybrid.
My buddy used to have, you know, everyone used to have, like, a wild back, a seven-eighths wolf with, like, an eight husky.
joe rogan
And they don't listen to you at all.
james bobo fay
Yeah, I thought it was one of those things and it was coming down the ridge and it made some weird sounds like almost like more coyote kind of sound but it sounded then I'll just never forget it did kind of one that sounds sort of like mine but different it sounded way more primal and just gnarly and it just goes I just remember every hair in my body shot up.
I just went, holy shit, I'm actually having a Bigfoot encounter.
The thing that's been walking towards me at that point, it had been walking at me for probably 20 minutes.
I could hear it coming closer and closer, and it was just so loud.
I was carrying forever.
I was looking down over the Klamath River.
And when it came into the tree line, I was sitting in this meadow.
There's a dirt road that runs along the top of the hill.
And on the left side is Redwood National Park.
And on the right side, it's Timberland.
There's a few ranch inholdings, old family inholdings in there.
And I was sitting up there and I was...
This Indian woman, there's a little Indian village near this dirt road about 12 miles down, said she'd saw one.
And when I was talking to my cop buddy, John Freitas, that day on the phone, he said, it was real, this is like cell phones in Humboldt back then were like real, unless you were right in the middle of town, didn't work too good.
And I heard him say, yeah, May 21st, you know, a woman saw it run across the road, right?
And I knew where she, because we logged up in there.
I knew that whole area.
I knew exactly what he was talking about.
It was a big deer in Elk Meadow.
So I was like, Okay, shit, I know where that is.
And I was, like, jammed up there.
And I had the night scope.
I sat there, and this thing came into the tree line.
I started doing these crazy roars and screaming, snapping trees.
And this thing was huge, gnarly, just...
I couldn't believe it.
And when it came in the tree line, to my right, at my 2 o'clock position, see what happens?
Like, if this is the dirt road here, there's this...
Meadow that's kind of crescent-shaped, half-moon.
There's a little timber stand here, brushing timber right here, and then there's a dirt road behind here.
I was sitting on the other side of the road, facing the meadow with my night scope, sitting in this beach chair, looking out this way.
This thing came in here at my 9 o'clock.
I was facing this way.
This came in my 9 o'clock, and right when it did this craziest roar and snapped this tree from over here at 2 o'clock was this gnarly power knock just cracked.
They'll take a branch or something and just bash a tree or a stump or whatever.
We call them power knocks when they do that, or wood knocks when they're lighter, but just this full gnarly power knock.
joe rogan
Boom!
Just to let you know they can do that to your head.
Right?
That's what they're doing.
james bobo fay
Dude, if they were ever going to kill anyone, they would have killed me that night because...
brian redban
Or they're musicians.
joe rogan
Yeah, they have a really primitive band.
james bobo fay
You know, I've asked a lot of natives about that, because they come around tribal dances and stuff.
They do?
Yeah, they'll probably be like, keep the noise down!
What the fuck?
joe rogan
They're trying to sleep out here.
james bobo fay
They'll kind of dig on it.
They dig music, apparently.
From what I've heard, they don't make any kind of music.
brian redban
What do they sound like?
What does the house sound like?
joe rogan
Can you give us a version of The Howl?
james bobo fay
My version?
It only did mine once from way out, but should I do it?
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
How far should I get back?
joe rogan
Yeah, like a little bit.
Yeah, that's good.
james bobo fay
Like, uh, he made me laugh.
Um.
unidentified
Wow.
Wow.
james bobo fay
But I'd do it louder if we were outside.
joe rogan
There was the videos that, or rather the audio recordings that some people have gotten of screams in the woods that they have identified as primate.
james bobo fay
Right.
joe rogan
Where was that that they got those?
Because it's pretty...
james bobo fay
All over the...
joe rogan
Sounds like that.
james bobo fay
Missouri, Mississippi, Florida, Virginia.
joe rogan
How come nobody's gotten pictures of them, man?
james bobo fay
They're shitty pictures.
And cameras don't work like the human eye, right, too?
It's like...
Your eye focuses so quick.
Because they're so used to getting shot at, and they see us shoot at everything.
But I think they know what cameras are, but when they see something come up, they're just gone.
Like, they're not sticking around.
They're not going to sit there.
But there is videos.
There's a lot of videos of them.
We know people that have gotten them, but you can't tone it.
It's just so shitty, low quality, low res.
They're almost always in the shadows.
It'll be bright outside, then they're in the shadows.
People aren't using high quality gear.
joe rogan
Because if you hadn't personally had an encounter At a certain point in time, you have to look at all these different people with their shitty photos and the things that don't really look like a Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
Well, there's a lot of hoaxers and crazy people.
joe rogan
A lot of people, right?
james bobo fay
Well, most is for sure hoaxers, almost all.
joe rogan
But isn't that annoying that you're dealing with, you're in a business where half the people are full of shit?
Let's say half.
No, not half.
We're being nice.
I think that's being nice.
james bobo fay
People that research Bigfoot?
joe rogan
No, no, not research Bigfoot that have claimed to have seen him, I think.
I think half of them are full of shit.
james bobo fay
No way.
I've talked to over 4,000 people that have seen them, and maybe 100 or 200 were trying to bullshit me.
joe rogan
Only 100 or 200, really?
james bobo fay
Because this is before I was on TV and stuff mostly, you know what I mean?
Right.
People in the community.
I've talked to a couple of my professors when I was going to school.
Had seen them.
All kinds of people.
joe rogan
We did this thing once.
You can't trust it.
Once you put it on TV, like your show, I see people that raise their hands, and I'm like, this motherfucker's making this shit up.
Those town hall meetings.
When did you see a Bigfoot?
You could tell some folks will just make shit up to get on camera.
I did a show for CBS once.
It was called Game Show in My Head.
And one of the things we did was we would show up somewhere pretending to be a real news crew.
And the assignment that the contestant had was you have to get someone to agree to have seen something that they didn't actually see.
james bobo fay
Right.
joe rogan
Because your witness took off and it's a UFO sighting.
So you have to get someone, tell them you're going to put them on the news and say, listen, we were about to film this guy.
Do you think you could pretend that you had seen the UFO? Every fucking one of them said yes.
It was crazy.
james bobo fay
But you could tell, though.
joe rogan
You couldn't tell, man.
james bobo fay
When you watched the playback, you couldn't tell they were bullshit?
joe rogan
It was no different than listening to people on your show talk about Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
I swear to God.
There is a difference, though, because...
You know what's funny is a lot of...
We deal with a lot of law enforcement people because they go out to rural residences, like break-ins, like when they're stealing chickens or freezers, like breaking their food.
joe rogan
Bigfoot steal chickens and shit.
james bobo fay
Yeah, they're omnivores.
And...
A lot of cops watch our...
The guy, John Fredis, the cop I was out before, he's certified federally to be a deception expert.
He trains other law enforcement agencies.
And we've heard other police training agencies teach them deception, like what to look for when people are lying.
And they watch our show for the witnesses and they say they're surprised at how they aren't lying.
Almost all the ones they see.
joe rogan
How many?
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Because I bet that guy sucks at that.
james bobo fay
No, no, other ones.
Other cops.
Other people that instruct on that.
joe rogan
I'm better at that shit than him.
brian redban
I could just see Roscoe Pico.
Yeah, I'm a trained, you know.
unidentified
I'm a trained expert in the laws and the arts of deception.
joe rogan
You ain't gonna sneak by me.
james bobo fay
The Duke boys?
brian redban
Like if that kind of officer said I was a trained professional.
joe rogan
How many times have you been out on a show, though, where you're going with the witnesses and you go, man, I think this guy might be full of shit.
james bobo fay
We just did one.
I can't tell you which ones.
I don't think none of the ones that we aired.
And dude, if someone was pulling a prank, believe me, they'd be crowing about it.
joe rogan
It's not a pull in the prank.
Just they're crazy and they want a friend.
Instead, they have a Bigfoot story.
james bobo fay
Yeah, there's some of that for sure.
But we don't put those people on the show.
They might show clips from at the town hall, but we don't go out to their spot with them.
And a lot of those guys we go out with, they've already been vetted several times.
Local BFO investigators have gone there with the person, gone over the whole sighting.
Although we just did one on the show where we're pretty sure...
We don't know for sure, but we think the guy was...
We're pretty sure the dude's lying, you know?
joe rogan
Well, if you guys are sure the guy was lying, I bet he's fucking lying.
james bobo fay
Yeah, like Moneymaker, you've seen the show, right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
Moneymaker's just real stares out of it.
joe rogan
It's funny that it's his name, first of all.
His real name is Matt Moneymaker.
That's hilarious.
james bobo fay
His dad's a famous bankruptcy attorney here in Beverly Hills named Rich Moneymaker.
joe rogan
That's even funnier.
james bobo fay
I know.
joe rogan
Rich Moneymaker.
james bobo fay
The bankruptcy attorney.
joe rogan
I mean, if you were going to have a Coen Brothers movie and in it was going to be a plot line that involved a Bigfoot TV show, you guys would be perfectly cast.
You know, you, Bobo, the Sasquatch expert, is always bigger than the video.
Matt Moneymaker, the guy's name is Moneymaker.
That alone sounds like a character.
It's awesome.
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
How'd you guys all get together?
Like, how did this show get started?
james bobo fay
I hooked up with Matt through...
Well, he runs the BFRO. I don't know if you ever looked at that website.
Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization.
It's got like 50,000 sightings on it, whatever.
And it was real hard to get in back then.
And I was just like, whatever, fisherman, logger guy.
Didn't have any credentials or anything like that.
But I always went out, and I knew a lot of the natives out there, and I worked in the woods out there, and I spent time out there, and I talked to people, and I just needed to lay the land, so...
I hooked up with this guy, John Freitas, and then I was like a volunteer, whatever, with the BFRO for a few years, and then in 2003, they were filming that show, Mysterious Encounters, on Outdoor Left Network.
It was Matt and Autumn.
I don't know if you ever saw it.
It was just one season, but Matt and Autumn were on it, and then I was on like three episodes with him.
We were cruising around Northern Cal, and then he made me like a whatever investigator.
You had to go through steps to be an investigator.
You had to know what you were talking about, and Maybe now there's definitely people that are in the BFRO now.
There's like several hundred people across the country.
It's good because it's a broader net, but some of the people just don't have the Woods experience.
Like when they go out there, they don't...
People misidentify stuff all the time.
A lot of the stuff I do when people tell me they're having Bigfoot action out there, you get out there and it's a bobcat in heat, or there's a barred owl moved in.
It's some barred owl.
joe rogan
Wino.
james bobo fay
Yeah, it could be.
Just stuff like that, or bear or whatever.
But I'll say this, for all the times that people say they saw Bigfoot and it was a bear, I'll bet you there's way more times where people saw Bigfoot and go, I just saw a weird bear.
Because their brain can't even process Bigfoot.
Especially before the 60s, my buddy Scott McLean lives right down here in Santa Monica.
He's compiled it.
He's putting a book out, and it's all like pre-1950 newspaper accounts.
He's got like 1,500 of them from North America back to the 1700s of people reporting orangutans because it was before gorillas were discovered.
Once gorillas were discovered, the description switched from orangutan to gorilla, or a wild man.
There's wild man stories.
Up in Humboldt, the loggers call them, since the 1800s, wood apes and brush apes.
There's 130-something names up and down the West Coast with monkey or ape in the name, like Monkey Creek, Ape Canyon, Monkey Ridge, Ape Ridge.
They're all over the place.
And they'd get that name because that's where the brush apes lived.
joe rogan
Jesus, how fucking cool would it be if they actually got some real footage?
Some real honest-to-goodness.
You can't fuck with it.
brian redban
At least iPhone 1 footage.
joe rogan
Or captured one.
Or captured a Sasquatch.
Tracked one and dragged it out of the woods.
james bobo fay
There's footage.
They won't release it.
We just went there.
We did an episode there.
joe rogan
It won't release?
james bobo fay
No, it's a tribe.
They got it on a security camera behind the casino.
joe rogan
What?
And why won't they release it?
james bobo fay
Dude, it's super heavy.
The squash to the natives is...
joe rogan
Listen, they wouldn't do anything for money.
Look what they did with these casinos.
They'll take the money.
They set up casinos down there.
They just need to offer them some cash.
james bobo fay
No, dude.
There's certain...
Some tribes...
There's a few tribes like that, but most of them, though, there's still old people in charge.
They listen to them about that kind of stuff, like cultural stuff.
joe rogan
So the Sasquatch video, if that's their culture, that you would never be able to release a video of it?
james bobo fay
It's funny, because I've talked to some tribes where they said that it signifies the end of the world if Sasquatch is brought in, like captured.
joe rogan
What?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
That's like their...
joe rogan
That life has gotten so crazy that someone caught a Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
Or, you know, brought in a body, whatever.
joe rogan
Well, now this guy, who I think is full of shit, who's telling a story about shooting the baby, why wouldn't he just bring a piece of it with him?
Why wouldn't he cut off a finger?
If he's willing to kill one of these fucking things...
Like it's a dog or like it's a coyote or something.
brian redban
Or why don't you just take the blood to another blood DNA person or a piece of hair or something?
unidentified
How about just hack off its hand?
joe rogan
Hack off its hand.
james bobo fay
Cut off its head.
At that point, his buddy came over and was super pissed at him for shooting it.
And then they were starting to trick us.
It was at this point getting really dark.
And they were just going like, okay, there's got to be another big...
It takes two to make babies.
There's got to be another big one.
They definitely regret not bringing it, because the baby only weighed like 30, 35 pounds.
joe rogan
That doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't believe him.
It sounds like horseshit.
It sounds like horseshit.
The guy doesn't have a photo of it.
He shoots a Bigfoot, and he's not going to bring something back.
There's no way you would bring nothing back.
james bobo fay
But they mapped the genome of that flesh sample he brought in.
joe rogan
Yeah, but that's some shit they found there after the fact.
He didn't take it from the baby and bring it with him.
james bobo fay
Right, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
There's no direct chain of custody, but dude, you can't argue DNA. Well, if you really do say that the DNA has been mapped and it is some new hominid...
brian redban
Yeah, but isn't the woman crazy that the DNA... No, I didn't say that.
Well, I mean, at least there's some controversy about it.
james bobo fay
There's some controversy about it, yeah.
brian redban
Well, if there's any controversy, just take it to like a regular DNA map.
james bobo fay
Oh, sorry.
brian redban
Like a known company.
james bobo fay
There is.
And the other labs are coming up with the same conclusions as her.
joe rogan
What's her name?
james bobo fay
Melba, M-E-L-B-A, Ketchum, K-E-T-C-H-U-M. She has like DNA diagnostics down in Texas.
But we went to a genetic lab recently with some hair from back when that whole thing, you know the video we told you about, the video where the 10-foot Bigfoot walks up to the dumpster?
The thing's about 10 foot.
joe rogan
Where was this?
james bobo fay
Oklahoma.
joe rogan
How good is the video?
james bobo fay
I never got to see it, but we know people that have seen it.
joe rogan
You didn't get to see it.
Why haven't you gotten to see it?
james bobo fay
It's locked in the vault, and the tribal chairman won't let anyone even see it anymore.
Because what happened was, word leaked out that there was Bigfoots.
And when you go to this place in Oklahoma, they travel the river routes.
They follow the rivers.
There's thick brush and bogs along the rivers, and they travel that.
Especially at night.
And this casino was near enough to that they'd come up there and they're real comfortable around natives because natives don't shoot at them very often.
It's rare for a native to shoot at a squash.
They leave them alone.
They'll put out food for them and leave is what they do.
joe rogan
And they don't have any photos of them either.
james bobo fay
Some have.
Up in Humboldt, there was a family of some local Indians that shot footed just about from 400 yards away.
And it's looking down.
They were out scouting elk.
And this thing, a female was feeding down in the bottom eating some kind of vegetative matter.
I'm not sure whether it was eaten.
But she was digging something up.
It might have been some kind of root.
And they filmed it for like 13, 14 minutes.
But, you know, it's like 400 yards away.
But the thing is probably about 7 foot tall and 400 pounds.
joe rogan
So this woman, Mrs. Ketchum, who's doing this study, she's apparently putting it up for peer review.
Is that what's going on?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
So she's made her conclusions.
james bobo fay
Yeah, her conclusions are done.
The peer review is going on right now.
Oxford University is one of the labs that's in on the DNA study now.
There's...
I can't say.
I mean, it's their deal.
I can't say whether labs are doing it, but you would know the names.
There's a big public university.
One of the guys that runs a genetic department is doing it.
And their initial results are they're blown away.
joe rogan
There's a picture of a Bigfoot back.
It's the best picture.
james bobo fay
I think that's fake.
joe rogan
Is it fake?
james bobo fay
I don't know.
It might not be.
I think it is.
brian redban
What if big foots were born very big and they only were big one day and they grew really small?
joe rogan
Brian, shut the fuck up now.
brian redban
They grew backwards or something.
james bobo fay
Thank you, Joe.
joe rogan
You just broke every person's brain who's listening to this thing.
They're not from ORC. How dare you.
So your first encounter came after you were already obsessed with Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
Oh, totally.
joe rogan
What started it off?
How did you become obsessed?
I told you my story.
I talked to a trapper, and he told me it was real, and then I was fucking freaked out.
james bobo fay
I saw the Patterson-Giblin film on some TV show when I was about five.
Because I remember I had just started kindergarten, and I could take books out at school.
At that point, I was looking for Bigfoot books.
joe rogan
And it just caught you.
Like, you just became obsessed with it.
james bobo fay
Yeah, and then I was...
Then I grew up down here.
I was a surfer and all that.
And, you know, skate punk.
And after high school, I was going to...
I was doing...
I was piloting outrigger canoes.
If you know those Hawaiian canoes, outriggers.
joe rogan
Uh-huh.
james bobo fay
Yeah, I was racing those.
And we were, like, the top team in the country.
And...
You know, doing like world championships and all that stuff.
So I stayed down here longer, but I was wanting to move up to Humboldt because I was into surfing.
I liked big waves and there was Bigfoot and big surf up there.
And I was like, man, the place is killer.
I'm going there.
So I moved up there.
Then I started to do some logging jobs and Started meeting people in the community and worked with some natives and kind of got in more and more and just really started delving in it.
Like if I heard about a report, I'd go check it out.
Talked to whoever I could.
I'd have like Bigfoot shirts or hats I'd wear and people would come to me and go, you believe in Bigfoot?
You know, I'd say, yeah.
And they'd say, yeah, I saw one one time.
It was crazy how many people, you got in rural areas, how many people...
And there's so much hard data for them.
Where you look where the sightings are, it's generally 90 plus percent of the sightings, over 90 percent of the sightings are, you can follow, it's like you look at it where there's 20 inches of rainfall or more.
joe rogan
That's where they live.
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah.
And there's a bell curve that you'd see with a natural occurring animal for like foot size.
God, I should have brushed up on this stuff.
You just had to think about saying something stupid on front of a camera when I'm doing Bigfoot stuff.
joe rogan
There's a lot of data.
As soon as you start saying you believe in Bigfoot, it's impossible to have everybody take you seriously, right?
james bobo fay
Fuck those people.
They're wrong.
joe rogan
Well, eventually, if it is a real thing, someone's going to get something conclusive, right?
They already have.
Well, what's the most conclusive thing, besides the Patterson footage, that I think is bullshit?
james bobo fay
Just the enormous amount of footprints that have been cast.
joe rogan
For the folks on Ustream, he brought me a replica of the best footprint, and it's fucking awesome.
If that really is from an animal, holy shit is that thing big.
james bobo fay
Yeah, and actually, I got a copy of the hand.
It left a knuckle mark, too, where it stepped up over like a four-foot step up.
It went up and put its knuckles in the ground.
I got that out in the car, too.
I can show you.
But see those little ridge patterns?
Only living flesh leaves like those reds.
A cut-out foot or like a fiberglass mold would not leave that ridge pattern and that moisture.
joe rogan
Right, just all this stuff right here.
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, any tracker will tell you that.
joe rogan
So this, you think, is for sure a legit Bigfoot footprint?
james bobo fay
Oh yeah, it's considered the best one.
The best one without clear dermals.
And that was cast by a Deputy Hereford in Graves County, Washington...
joe rogan
And when you say clear dermals, for folks who don't know, that's one of the most conclusive pieces of evidence for the people, the scientific community that support the idea of a giant primate, is dermal ridges that you have similar to fingerprints.
You have those on the bottom of your foot, and these animals actually leave these in some of the tracks, which would be incredibly difficult to replicate.
james bobo fay
Dude, Jimmy Chilcutt, he taught at the FBI labs in Quantico, Virginia, like when you go through the academy.
He's the latent fingerprint expert, blah, blah.
Well, they were trying to see when they found just a gun in a murder scene, there's prints on it, and just no matches ever.
He was the guy that used for 15 years.
He went around and fingerprinted and footprinted every primate he could in zoos, research labs, and printed thousands of gorillas, orangutans, monkeys, chimpanzees, blah, blah, gibbons.
So after all this time, it was because since they have a smaller gene pool and they don't interbreed, the idea was they were trying to see was there any pattern discernible to Asians or Africans or Europeans or Native Americans.
If they just found a gun with a fingerprint, was there anything that would show what race it was?
And the answer was no.
But as a result of that study, he became the world's leading expert on primate, God, I'm going to say this wrong, dermatoglyphics.
Dermal ridges.
Dermal ridges.
Yeah.
unidentified
Right.
james bobo fay
I get a little tongue.
I get tied up on some of that stuff.
But I can spell it.
And so anyways, he's testified in court for smuggling cases.
People bring it in.
They'll say, no, this animal was born here.
And he can go in and show the fingerprint spot.
And so he studied the tracks, and this guy's put people away in over 400 capital cases.
He was the expert witness where the evidence was fingerprints.
And he went on Discovery Channel and said, I stake my professional reputation and name on that these are genuine.
There's an undiscovered primate leaving these tracks.
And people are saying, like, well, you just opened up, like, you know, yourself to, like, have, like, or these 400 convictions you've gotten, now the defense lawyers can say, this guy's crazy.
joe rogan
Right.
james bobo fay
And he goes, I can prove it in court.
So he's not even worried about it.
And he hasn't had to, but he said he could.
joe rogan
What's interesting to me is the idea that there could be an undiscovered animal and that someone someday is going to bring it in.
Just like they have with the big chimpanzee that was alleged in the Congo.
It's called a bondo, actually.
Bonobos are the little ones.
They're like a cousin to a regular chimp.
They fuck a lot.
They're crazy horny ones.
The bondo apes are these giant chimps.
james bobo fay
Or bilibis.
joe rogan
Yeah, Billy.
B-I-L-I, yeah.
They're in a part of the Congo where it's really, really fucking hard to get to.
And since the 1900s, there were stories of these big, giant, gray chimps.
And that was from the Michael Crichton movie, The Congo.
They actually depicted these things in there, these big, giant, gray chimps.
james bobo fay
And they'll walk bipedal sometimes.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
james bobo fay
They're called lion killers in the near time.
joe rogan
Exactly, yeah.
They have two words for chimps.
They call them tree beaters or lion killers.
There's some chimps.
They have photos of dead ones.
I mean, these are real, legit, 100% real primates that are still, like, very, very controversial.
It's still, there's a lot of people that didn't know they existed until the 90s, weren't sure until Carl Armand, who's a Swiss wildlife photographer.
He got some evidence, some bones and some stuff, and then became obsessed with it and started going there.
But he has camera trap photos of them.
james bobo fay
Right.
But not until the 2000s.
joe rogan
Exactly.
james bobo fay
And he brought back some plaster casts like those that weren't even as good as this.
There's more evidence for Sasquatch than those Billy Apes.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, there's actual real good photographs of these billions of high resolution.
Now there is.
But the point is that for the longest time, people were saying that this was bullshit.
And now they know 100% that this is real.
And the Congo has people living in it.
There ain't nobody living in these places.
james bobo fay
Not up there too much, though.
Up in that area, they're just pushing in there now.
There's still tons of virgin timber they're cutting down up there.
joe rogan
Right.
The Congo's so huge, too.
Another thing people don't realize.
It's literally almost as dense as the entire distance between California and New York.
There's that much Congo.
james bobo fay
Really?
joe rogan
It's fucking enormous.
james bobo fay
I didn't know it was that big.
joe rogan
I might be wrong.
james bobo fay
Oh, not the country, but the Congo base.
joe rogan
The Congo.
james bobo fay
The Congo River base.
joe rogan
The jungle.
The rainforest.
james bobo fay
Okay, I thought you were talking about the country.
Yeah, yeah.
The Congo base.
joe rogan
That animal being something that was mythological and now is a real thing.
Does that give you guys hope?
Does that make Bigfoot people go, yeah, see, bitch?
There's some shit out there that you couldn't find.
james bobo fay
I used to be pretty militant, like sometimes violent in my defense of the Sasquatch existence, but I don't even worry about it.
I've seen them, and I know there's enough tissue samples in there now getting examined.
There's so much going on.
There's a lot of hair experts getting in on the hair, because I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's something about the platelets where they line up.
They've gotten better microscopes or something.
They can see them better.
I'm not sure what it is, but...
These hair experts are getting really into the Sasquatch hair because it's unique.
There's nothing that matches it.
There's just certain characteristics about Sasquatch hair.
Every sample that's legitimate gets handed in, doesn't turn out to be a horse or a bear or whatever, but every sample that gets turned in has these same characteristics.
There's a joint study going on with different experts in that field who are working around, from different countries even, that are all examining these hairs and marking these markers.
They're real excited about it.
joe rogan
You know what's really going to be interesting?
When the skies are filled with drones, and those drones can take images of anything anywhere they want at any time, and they just fucking send them over the Pacific Northwest.
brian redban
They already kind of have that with everyone having cell phones.
That's just the thing that I just don't understand.
If there's so many people that see this, and there's still no photos.
james bobo fay
There's photos.
brian redban
Not good photos.
The hair and the blood and everything like that, I know that it doesn't take that long for them to say, you know, this is deer blood.
This is so-and-so blood.
This is so-and-so blood.
But if they're all saying that it's unknown, then has there been multiple agencies that have put out reports about this?
joe rogan
What the fuck are you talking about, son?
james bobo fay
I know what you're saying.
brian redban
If there's been so many blood samples and hair samples, and they're all being tested, and they can't find out what this blood is, because it doesn't take that long for them to take blood and go, this is deer blood.
So if they're all saying, hey, we don't know what this blood is, have they been giving out statements or press reports or stuff about this?
Is there information out there about them saying, we don't know what this blood is?
james bobo fay
Yeah, there is, but the thing I understand is the science world is so political and so backstabbing and they're so afraid to do something unconventional because you just get barred in the field that they're real reticent to do stuff like that.
But there are some that have, like Dr. Fehrenbach and some others that have.
There's others that look at it.
There's a lot of people that work in the Bigfoot field anonymously, like other scientists that collaborate with them, that just don't want to deal with any ridicule or not get promoted or whatever it may be.
joe rogan
Yeah, I watched a documentary where a doctor, some sort of a professor at a university, was talking about the fact that even though he supports Bigfoot, he does it very reluctantly.
He supports the idea that Bigfoot exists.
He goes because, quite honestly, until one's discovered, until there's conclusive proof, he says it's just a point of ridicule.
It's just one of those things.
james bobo fay
Are you talking about Dr. Meldrum at Idaho State?
joe rogan
I don't know where he's from.
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah.
He's a genius.
He's written like four books on foot anatomy, how humans have gone from quadri...
Back in evolution, we went from quadruped to bipedal.
He's the foremost expert guy in the world on that.
He was actually one of the guys at the body recovery site with us when we went up in there.
He believes the shooter story also.
He was there.
joe rogan
He believes that guy?
james bobo fay
Yeah, everyone that was there that week came away believing him.
joe rogan
Why did he bring something back?
james bobo fay
It's...
joe rogan
Silly.
james bobo fay
I'll tell you later off the air.
joe rogan
Okay.
All right.
Well, there's some sort of a secret, ladies and gentlemen, that I can't share with you.
It might be the answer to this whole crazy puzzle.
james bobo fay
It just would answer something a little bit.
Well, they were pounding beers, and they just saw that warden guy, and they didn't want to, like...
They had a drive to get back to camp, and the dude was afraid to get a DUI or something, because they were running out in the woods, just drinking beers, driving around, shooting off the track, whatever.
unidentified
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
And those are the guys that shot a Bigfoot baby.
james bobo fay
I know.
Well, only the one guy did.
The other guy was anti the whole time.
joe rogan
And other than that, what is a good piece of evidence that someone can look at?
james bobo fay
Freeman footage.
joe rogan
Freeman footage.
james bobo fay
I'm convinced that's real.
joe rogan
Freeman footage.
What is Freeman footage?
james bobo fay
Paul Freeman was the Mill Creek watershed up in the Blue Mountains of Northeast Oregon and Southeast Washington.
There's this huge area like a lot of municipalities have their own water districts and they'll own like you know tens of thousands of acres of watershed land and you're not allowed up in there because it's the water so they don't want like diesel in it or anything and he was the patrol guy up in there and he was seeing Bigfoots find their tracks and actually seeing them in the daylight up there so he started carrying a video camera and he got footage of that and I'm 100% convinced that's real Brian pull that shit up Freeman Bigfoot footage This is from the 90s.
Yeah, and then he has another clip that he wouldn't...
He died.
He got diabetes and died young about 15 years ago, but he has another clip where he falls down and starts screaming, kind of crying.
He gets bluff charged for one.
He gets it real close to the big male, comes up at him like full gorilla-style charge, and he got footage of it, and he never released it because he looks so bad in it.
You know, he got, you know, pissed his pants or something.
joe rogan
I just saw something in the woods...
james bobo fay
And those tracks were authenticated.
unidentified
Can't see much up here.
Can't see much up here.
james bobo fay
I hear the brush popping and stuff.
unidentified
Oh, there he goes.
james bobo fay
I keep watching.
unidentified
Jesus.
Get up here.
Get up here.
Yeah, it's pretty.
james bobo fay
From watching these videos, like whenever I think of potentially throwing a Bigfoot, I never take the camera off of it.
unidentified
Where are they?
It probably dropped on the ground.
I just wonder.
It should be.
james bobo fay
Right here.
unidentified
Somewhere.
Does he see it again or is that it?
james bobo fay
I don't think so.
Oh, is that it?
joe rogan
What makes you convinced that that's real?
james bobo fay
Just like the size of it and the way it moves.
People went back up there and said it was well over seven and a half feet tall, dude.
I don't know where the comparison video is for it, but people did go up there, and then right after that, they ended up clear-cutting that whole thing and putting a campground right there.
They were actually staking it out.
There's some ribbons.
You can see the flag tying on a couple of the trees.
It was marked for being turned into a campground.
joe rogan
That, to me, looks way better than the Wright-Patterson or the Wright-Patterson Air Force.
unidentified
Roger.
joe rogan
Roger Patterson footage, just because it's not as clear.
james bobo fay
The other thing about the Patterson-Gubbin film is the copies you're seeing on TV are, like, every time they make a clone copy, it loses, like, 30% up to 30% resolution.
The original Patterson, the original footage piece, which no one knows where it is now, probably Al D'Atli has it, is really clearer.
joe rogan
Clearer than that.
james bobo fay
Oh, what you see on TV, a lot of...
Nat Geo did a good digitization of it, and they've shown that.
That's the clearest version you can get now.
But the stuff you'd see on TV back in the day, it would be all blurry.
The original's not blurry.
joe rogan
Who's this guy, Bob Geronimus, that says that he was the gorilla?
james bobo fay
Just some douchebag, alcoholic guy.
joe rogan
Just a liar.
james bobo fay
Gimlin's neighbor.
It's like, dude, okay, you know what, the whole Kennedy assassination's over.
I'm the one that shot Kennedy.
It was me.
You know, case closed.
joe rogan
So he's just some crazy dude who's trying to take credit.
james bobo fay
He's not crazy, he's just...
joe rogan
Asshole.
james bobo fay
It's just kind of a...
joe rogan
It's a pretty dicky move if it really was a Bigfoot, if it really was a video of a live Sasquatch and this motherfucker's running around pretending that he was a part of a hoax.
james bobo fay
Well, he's...
There's this guy...
If you're into this, you can look it up.
Roger Knight wrote...
I forget what it's called.
He wrote like a 74-page thing where he interviewed Hieronymus and went through and tore apart his story.
He's made like five different statements about how the costume was constructed.
joe rogan
Well, Gimlin said that it was possible that it was a hoax.
He said that he was older.
He says, I was totally convinced no one could fool me.
And of course, I'm an older man now, and I think there could have been the possibility of a hoax.
But it would have had to have been really well planned by Roger.
That's what he said.
james bobo fay
I've talked to him.
I was just with Bob this weekend.
He's the raddest.
I swear to God, he was one of the first guys around Evil Knievel.
He was like a daredevil guy.
He's just a...
Rad guy, and salt of the earth.
And we were asking him about that, and he said, you know, the way the questioning was going, he was just getting badgered with it.
He said, like, there's always a possibility you could be hooked, but he's like, I know what I saw.
The thing was, I was looking at an eye level for my horse.
When they rode their, there's B-roll footage, you know, they ride the horse next to the tracks, and the horse prints are not going as deep as those footprints.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
What do you think these fucking things eat?
james bobo fay
Everything.
Everything a bear eats.
They're omnivores.
They obviously have a high caloric intake to be that big.
So in the wintertime, they probably eat more meats.
They'll hunt deer, elk.
They'll even hunt bear, black bear.
joe rogan
They hunt them.
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Would they use tools?
Do they use weapons?
james bobo fay
Sometimes, like, we've seen, like, some evidence where they've, um, where the elk, they'll flesh deer or elk out of a meadow, they'll come running, they'll take the same routes every time, and one will be, like, one will roar at one side.
Like, hunters have said they've been up, you know, bow hunters creeping up on a, on a little herd in a meadow or something, and all of a sudden they'll just god-awful roar, scream, come from one side.
They all run to the other side, and they're like, whack, you know, and, You've seen like where they'll just take a club and as the deer go running by, just club them in the front legs and shatter their front legs and then go over and break.
They'll break the neck.
When they kill them, they break the neck.
joe rogan
So they kill them with objects.
They use tools.
They use like a log or something.
james bobo fay
No, I think most of the time they just use their bare hands.
joe rogan
They're that big that they can kill a deer with their bare hands?
james bobo fay
Oh, easy.
Easy.
They'll pick them up.
They'll take a full-grown elk and sling it over their shoulder and walk off with it.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
james bobo fay
Like, I've heard so many stories, like, dude, not from people that are, like, trying to bullshit me, like, you know, just people telling what they saw.
And then, you know, obviously there's some people that, you know, that guy's full of shit or whatever, but I'm talking like genuine people that you're talking to just going like, this guy's not shitting me.
And you hear these stories and...
I've never seen him kill.
I've only seen one really moving good when I was at night.
It was on the Hickory again, the Hickory Apache Reservation.
joe rogan
How many times have you seen Bigfoot?
james bobo fay
Probably a half dozen, but only one time in the daylight.
And I didn't see it.
It just was standing there and I turned my head and it was gone.
And I didn't see it again.
That's the one I smelt real good.
And then the one at Hickory I saw in 2004, we had all these infrared cameras at some point at the tree line.
And it walked across the South Alpha field and came into our camp.
Everyone was down to fire.
It was kind of a spread out camp.
We were at the chief of police who was the coordinator for all law enforcement on the Hickory Apache Res.
We were on his property, and this dude was a badass.
He got in trouble for being a little too...
He beat the shit out of people.
He couldn't prove some guy broke into some old lady's house.
It's a res.
Everyone knows what's going on.
This guy's on meth, whatever.
He's stealing.
And if he couldn't prove, like if he couldn't catch the guy, he would just take him outside and beat the shit out of him.
Like, one of those guys?
So no one's coming up to this guy's ranch.
He was the very end ranch, and then it was the Continental Divide behind there.
And it went from like 25 miles to the next set of houses.
And this thing came from the Continental Divide side, came walking up, and I didn't see it walk up.
I wasn't aware of it until we had this guy who was a Special Forces colonel in the Special Forces.
Not the guy, not Jamie, the guy I was with when I saw the one on bluff at night.
And I thought it was him dressed all in black and just wearing, because it was below freezing, we're like 9,000 feet.
And I thought it was him all bundled up wearing like a Parker.
I wasn't sure, but it was all black.
I was going, what you doing?
Because I could hear fingernails going up and down the side of a tent, like that fabric, just fingernails and that fabric sound, nylon.
And it was going around the tent, and then it got over to the front where the, it was our bait tent.
We were keeping all the food we were putting out for bait.
And it was kneeling down.
I'm like, Can I get up for a second and show you?
I was watching it for a while.
I had night vision around my neck.
You don't want to get caught staring at someone through night vision at night.
I thought I was just one of us.
It walked like a man except for...
It was walking like a man, but it looked like he was looking on the ground for something.
But I think it was, in hindsight, knowing how careful they are about where they step, not to step.
They're real conscious not to leave tracks like that, for the most part.
And I think it was looking where it was stepping, so it wouldn't step in something and leave a print.
But it was just walking like this.
joe rogan
So it needs to step in mud or something like that to leave a...
james bobo fay
Well, when it walked, it walked like this the whole time.
But it walked like a man, and they would kneel down, like, just get on one knee like that, and mess around at the front of the tent.
And then went over to this tent where the only girl that was coming out of there was going to her tent.
joe rogan
It's hard for people to hear you when you say this.
unidentified
Oh, I'm sorry.
james bobo fay
It was going back and forth.
And I watched it for about five minutes, and the moon was coming up.
There was almost a full...
I can't remember the exact moon.
And it was walking, and then the moon was just about to hit the field.
It was an old alfalfa field this guy had and he would plant it but the deer and elk were so thick up there he just gave up and let them eat it.
He just quit farming it and there's just alfalfa growing for like 100 acres.
And so this thing walked back across the field as the moonlight was coming down.
I just walked real fast.
I thought it was the colonel.
I go back down to camp and they were like, was that you throwing rocks, pebbles at us?
There was pebbles being thrown down by the guys.
They thought it was me.
If you're a squatch, you don't screw around.
You don't do like, hey, let's fool this guy.
You just don't do shit like that if you're out or you'll get banned.
No one wants to go out there.
joe rogan
If you're a squatcher, is that what you said?
james bobo fay
Yeah, the verb.
joe rogan
I thought you were saying if you were a squatch.
james bobo fay
Oh, no, if you're a squatcher.
joe rogan
They throw rocks at people?
james bobo fay
Oh, yeah, dude.
Yeah, so I'll just finish real quick.
It walked away, and I go back down there, and everyone's there.
Had this guy that was bigger than me go stand by the tent.
I went back to my original position.
He was walking around the tents, and I didn't...
You know, something that's seven foot or like six and a half foot, it's not real clear.
I hadn't made mental notes how exactly big these tents were and if someone was walking around how big they'd look in scale.
But when I saw this guy was about 6'5 or so down there walking around the tent, he was just dwarfed by this thing.
I mean, it wasn't that much taller, maybe like six, nine, seven foot, but just the bull, it was just easily twice the way to him or more.
Easily, at least.
joe rogan
Where'd this thing go?
james bobo fay
It walked back and just walked straight across the meadow.
And the moonlight, just as it walked past, the moonlight popped up and started hitting that whole area.
And it just went back in the woods.
And my dad, who was a total skeptic, he came out there just to camp for a week and have a father-son trip.
He actually heard them talking.
Not right then, but a night before that, he'd heard them talking.
Like a couple of them up there.
Talking?
unidentified
Yeah.
james bobo fay
They do like this, you ever heard the Sierra sounds?
joe rogan
No.
james bobo fay
I got in the car, I'll burn you a couple.
These guys got hours of recordings in the Sierra Nevadas of them jabbering away.
Those things are being translated by military translators right now.
There's a breakthrough on that front, too.
There's all kinds of breakthroughs going down right now.
joe rogan
So this sound that they make, was it anything like what this other guy was talking about?
The guy who says he shot a baby says they were like mumbling, like almost like deaf.
unidentified
No.
james bobo fay
Yeah, he said they sound like they were profoundly deaf.
I've heard him do this a few times.
And it sounds like, to me, what it sounded like to me was kind of like, maybe like a monkey trying to talk Chinese.
Something like that, you know?
joe rogan
That's funny.
A monkey trying to talk Chinese.
unidentified
Yeah.
james bobo fay
But like more grumbly though.
And I've heard the low mumble.
They mumble.
joe rogan
So the idea is that they have a language or they just...
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
james bobo fay
All the natives.
And you talk to any native anywhere and they'll tell you, yeah, they have a language.
And they can understand certain words we say.
joe rogan
They can understand certain words we say.
But we don't have a video of one of these things.
james bobo fay
We don't have just one...
joe rogan
Yeah, but they could be bullshit.
james bobo fay
No!
Okay, Freeman I'm not so sure, but I can tell you for...
Yeah, there's been...
And there's other breakthroughs going down on the Patterson-Gillen film.
joe rogan
What is the breakthroughs?
james bobo fay
They've actually found some of the original trees that were back behind.
There's been so much regrowth that these guys...
This guy, he's the State Park Ranger, like the ranger cop up there for Humboldt Redwoods.
Him, Robert Letterman, then another guy, Steve Strupert, the guy that owns Bigfoot Books there in Willow Creek, spent two years going out there and going over the site and finding, and they actually found some of the original trees that are obscured.
You can't see them from the creek anymore because it's been 43 years or whatever, 45. And they're all grown up and...
They found trees in the background that were in the original PG film.
So we're going to go in there and with all this 3D laser scanning stuff, they're going to be able to get a three-dimensional view of the whole creek.
Go back in, plug in the PG film, overlay it, and they'll get a three-dimensional to a half inch how big the subject in the film is.
joe rogan
Well, what if it's only 5'10"?
Then what do you do?
james bobo fay
If it's only 5'10", I just don't see that happening.
I don't know.
I trust Bob, you know, because Bob Gimlin's a really good friend of mine.
joe rogan
Right, but he himself said, but you said that he was badgered.
james bobo fay
Yeah, but he'll tell you, you'd love this guy.
You would love to hang out with this guy.
joe rogan
I bet I would.
I mean, I believe him.
I'm not saying he's full of shit, but there's been a lot of things.
james bobo fay
He says no way.
He said there's no way.
He said it had to be over 500 pounds.
And this guy's an expert hunter, and he's like watching the muscles move.
There's like nine different muscle movements you can see in the video.
joe rogan
Yeah, but isn't that possible you just put some fake muscles on it?
james bobo fay
Dude, the guy Chambers that made Planet of the Apes back in the 60s when that was made said he could not do that.
He went to his death because there was always a rumor that he did it.
And he was just like, nope, I never did it.
He goes, I wish I could have done that.
And you're talking about two cowboys.
Roger was unemployed at the time.
Roger did buy a costume from...
I think his last name was Morris out in North Carolina.
He made a gorilla suit.
Dude, it's a shitty $400 gorilla suit.
It was for recreations in his documentary.
And that's not the suit that he wore.
So anyways, there's controversy around it for sure, but there's always people looking to like...
joe rogan
I just wish there was some better shit.
james bobo fay
Oh, we all do.
And, you know, there's some footage that's going to be coming out that's in conjunction with the DNA study.
It's called the Kentucky footage.
And I've only seen part of it, but people that have seen it say it's the real deal.
There's a face shot.
joe rogan
How many do you think are alive, if you had a guess?
james bobo fay
Well, we're going to start getting some hard evidence on that due to the DNA samples, but...
I would say there can't, people say there's got to be at least 2,000 just to have as many as there are around, in North America, and you're talking Canada, and Canada's big too.
I'd say, my guess would be probably 4,000 to 6,000 in North America.
joe rogan
How the fuck are there 4,000 to 6,000 things and no one has a good chance?
brian redban
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
james bobo fay
Dude, you're looking at some giant ape man.
You're shitting your pants.
People freeze.
joe rogan
Where do they sleep, do you think?
Do they make caves?
james bobo fay
They definitely go to caves in extreme weather.
Really cold, real hot.
Natives where we live, there'll be fires in southern Humboldt and smoke pops out in southern Oregon.
You know, 150 miles away.
Caves are all connected.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
james bobo fay
Yeah, it's the biggest cave complex in the world.
But that wouldn't explain everywhere, but...
joe rogan
That's pretty badass.
I didn't know about that.
brian redban
Yeah.
Your microphone.
You're talking on the side of your mic.
joe rogan
Yeah, thanks.
james bobo fay
Okay.
joe rogan
I didn't know about that.
That's interesting.
james bobo fay
Yeah.
So they sleep in caves.
All the natives tell us that they bury their dead in caves and will pile up with rocks.
Just put big rocks no man could move.
In places where no machinery is going to go either.
And they'll just cover the cave up.
There's...
joe rogan
We need to find out where the fuck those caves are, dig them up and find some Bigfoot bones.
james bobo fay
That's what we were going to do with those cadaver dogs, because we knew if that was the male that was shot, because the rumor going around is it was the mom, but the DNA shows it was a male, it was the father.
joe rogan
Maybe it was the grandpa.
james bobo fay
Or the grandpa, whatever.
joe rogan
Old and fucked up.
Hunched over.
No muscle tone.
james bobo fay
We'll see.
We'll see.
So, anyways, if we could have got those, I'm sure, I can't imagine them, it was as big as you said it was.
I couldn't see them carrying it more than a mile or two, you know, from there.
And then finally, and there was cliffs down the backside.
There was other cave entrances around.
They know that area like no one else.
Yeah.
Who knows where they put it, but I can't imagine them carrying a 600-pound carcass that far.
joe rogan
Right, but you've got to assume, too, that...
You remember that movie Grizzly Man?
Did you see that movie?
unidentified
Oh, yeah, I love it.
joe rogan
Great movie.
Where the dude, they shot a grizzly, and when they came back just, I think it was a couple months later, there was nothing left.
unidentified
Oh, right, right.
joe rogan
Little tiny pieces of bone.
You know what I mean?
Even a 600-pound Sasquatch or something, if you left the bone behind in the jungle, or in the woods, rather...
Right.
ones.
Well, where's the dead mountain lions?
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
We know there's mountain lions, okay?
And mountain lions live way closer to people and civilization.
I mean, they're like at the edge.
They killed a mountain lion in Santa Monica a couple months ago.
james bobo fay
Right.
joe rogan
There was a mountain lion sodding in my neighborhood a couple weeks ago.
There's mountain lions.
james bobo fay
Remember the tiger that got loose up off the 101?
That 600 pound orange tiger run?
It ran loose for three and a half weeks in a six by two and a half mile stretch of, you know, up there.
They had helicopters.
They brought in the six best track.
They brought in the six best track teams for fishing game with their dogs in all of California came in.
But it was raining.
It was winter.
I don't remember if it was raining.
joe rogan
Uh-huh.
james bobo fay
But they looked for that Bengal tiger for three weeks right off the freeway between Malibu and the valley and couldn't find it until it walked up to somebody's backyard and was staring at her poodle.
joe rogan
Dude, what a fucking terrifying look that must have been.
Looking for a giant Bengal tiger that hasn't eaten in a week.
james bobo fay
Right.
joe rogan
Or two weeks or whatever the hell it is.
And it's wandering around.
So every corner you turn, that might be it.
Every time you go down a back alley, that might be it.
james bobo fay
Dude, we were just in a Tiger Preserve in Sumatra looking for the Orang Pin deck.
joe rogan
That's a different sort of accommodate.
james bobo fay
Totally different.
joe rogan
Smaller.
james bobo fay
Way smaller.
And they're not related.
Well, you know, we're all related at some point, but...
joe rogan
And is there evidence of this thing?
james bobo fay
Oh dude, that is, like that's the, of all cryptids, that's the one that all scientists agree is.
Dude, the lady that runs the UN program down there for like wildlife survey, she's seen it three times.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
And what does she say it is?
james bobo fay
It's some kind of upright orangutan that walks on two feet, it's about a meter tall or so, but up to like 200, like maybe three, three and a half feet tall, but 200 pounds, ball of muscle.
joe rogan
Whoa.
james bobo fay
Yeah, and so we were out there at night, and we couldn't get any of the locals to go out.
The porters, they were scared to death to go out, because those tigers, they're man-eaters.
They eat man.
joe rogan
The tigers, yeah.
james bobo fay
Yeah, and we were out there at night looking for a ring, Pindex.
joe rogan
So you guys went out at night?
james bobo fay
In the tiger preserve.
joe rogan
You did?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Jesus fucking Christ, what were you thinking?
That's crazy.
james bobo fay
I was thinking it's going to take Moneymaker.
joe rogan
Do you think it was going to get him first?
james bobo fay
I was hoping.
joe rogan
Why?
Is he the slow one?
james bobo fay
Slower than me.
joe rogan
Slower than you.
Yeah, everybody's slow compared to a Tiger, man.
james bobo fay
You know, they said, I said, well, we're in a big group.
Like, the last guy got out here like the month before or whatever, they were walking in a group.
They went out a group of 15 people and it jumped right in the middle of the line.
A guy crushed his skull, ran off to the guy dead.
joe rogan
Well, you know what he did once?
I used to do a bit about it in my act.
There was a boat, and I forget how many guys were in the boat, but this tiger swam out to the boat three times, killed three fucking people before it got tired of doing it.
Swam out, climbed in the boat, killed a guy, dragged his body to shore, jumped back in the water, swam out to the boat, killed another guy, and they're just rowing like a motherfucker trying to get away from this thing.
They just got bored.
james bobo fay
That was just one night.
joe rogan
Yeah, just one day.
james bobo fay
They hunt those boats.
I mean, those are those illegal wood guys.
And those guys get eaten all the time.
joe rogan
They could swim like a motherfucker.
I did not know that they could swim like that.
james bobo fay
They're the aquatic cat.
joe rogan
That's a scary animal, man.
james bobo fay
They're gnarlier than polar bears.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're right up there.
Yeah.
The thing about polar bears, though, is they just start eating you.
james bobo fay
Right.
joe rogan
They don't kill you first.
A tiger at least has the good grace to crush your windpipe and take you out quick.
Polar bears eat you dick first.
james bobo fay
Right.
joe rogan
They just start chewing on any part they can hold down, just like a salmon.
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
You were saying something crazy before, that you have to leave salmon out for Sasquatches in some places, or they throw rocks at people?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
When you talk to the natives, my thing was always going to the tribes and talking to as many elders as I could.
Most of them, it's changing now more and more.
A lot of the elders that talk to me now say the kids today, they're all into hip-hop, NBA, don't give a shit about any of the traditions or the stories or the knowledge.
They just want to be...
Westernized.
Totally.
They said they would never tell me.
They were told never tell white people, but they'll tell me because I'm respectful of the subject and I'm...
And I'm listening.
But what you hear is you'll hear all these things like, well, my grandma was around, they used to do this or they used to do that.
But the one thing that they still do up and down the whole Pacific Coast, from California to Alaska, is you talk to any of those net pullers when they put the gill nets across the rivers, when they pull the nets, and if they don't put a salmon up on the other bank for the squash, it'll come down and throw rocks at them or pull the net in and take all the fish.
joe rogan
Well, what they should do then is do that and then bring cameras.
Don't leave them any salmon and bring cameras and boom, you got Sasquatch.
It seems like they bait them.
They want them to get this food.
It's an offering, right?
james bobo fay
But they almost never see them take it.
They'll only take it when you're not there.
joe rogan
Set up cameras.
Set up some cameras.
Leave a fish.
That seems like the easiest way in the world.
james bobo fay
They're Jedis, man.
It's so crazy.
We don't know if it's the electromagnetic field around things they pick up on, but they are hip to a lot of...
But they have walked in front of game cameras before and stuff.
joe rogan
They have?
james bobo fay
Yeah, we just...
There's some game cam photos out there.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
Where can I find those?
Game camera photos.
james bobo fay
I might even have one.
I might have just sent you one another day.
I might have one on my phone.
joe rogan
Yep, Bigfoot was one of the first things that Google pulled up.
Isn't that funny?
Game, camera, photos, Bigfoot was one of the very first things.
You know why?
Google knows I'm a retard.
Ha!
james bobo fay
Dude, it says you're a smart guy.
joe rogan
Oh, this is one that's totally fake as fuck.
james bobo fay
Well, most of them are.
I don't think this one's on the internet yet.
joe rogan
Wow, this one's trippy.
This one looks like a monkey.
It's like something on four legs.
james bobo fay
Oh, it's fake.
joe rogan
It's fake?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
No, they have to walk on two legs or they're not real.
They're not legit.
james bobo fay
Oh, no, they go on four sometimes for sure.
They'll knuckle walk.
Especially the young ones.
joe rogan
Yeah, some of these look really fake.
God.
How do you discern whether they're fake or real?
james bobo fay
God, I wish I could get a hold of Cliff and have him send you one right now.
A lot of the best ones, dude, people don't...
You'd be surprised.
Most people aren't looking for fame and fortune like with this.
Most of the stuff that gets caught...
Oh, the Magoan...
We went to the Magoan Rim, dude.
You know, you talk about, you know, the Pacific Northwest.
The fifth largest pine forest in North America is in Arizona.
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
james bobo fay
The Magoan Rim, that's where this is.
Oh, this might have even been the video we did.
brian redban
No.
james bobo fay
No.
joe rogan
What are you slowing down to a quarter speed?
What is this?
I don't see shit.
It's hard when we take something from YouTube and put it on a monitor and blow it up.
james bobo fay
I'm not even sure what that video is.
brian redban
All the footage that's with Bigfoot, none of it's in the HD or anything like that.
unidentified
It's always this really low quality.
joe rogan
How convenient.
james bobo fay
You know what's funny, dude, is that the best DNA sample from Asia came from Destination Truth.
You know that TV show, Destination Truth?
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
It's kind of hokey, whatever.
Yeah.
You know, they just aired it, I think, the Vietnam episode, and our team's going to go there because the thing ran past the cameraman at the base camp, ran right by him on the side, like a big eight-footer, and they got four good footprint casts because it stepped in mud in a couple spots.
unidentified
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah, they got...
joe rogan
This is Destination Truth?
james bobo fay
Yeah, the Vietnam episode.
I think it just aired like last night or the night before or something.
unidentified
I don't know.
james bobo fay
I was up in the mountains, so I wasn't...
joe rogan
And it's a Bigfoot?
james bobo fay
It's a Vietnamese one.
They call them rock apes.
The non-vets call them rock apes.
You ever read about that?
joe rogan
The Vietnamese Bigfoot.
No, I've never heard of rock apes.
james bobo fay
Oh, did you talk to any of those old Lerp guys or any of those old Ford Ranger guys and the behind-the-enemy-lines guys?
Or even guys, just regular Army guys.
When they were up in the Northeast, like in the Hmong Territory, the rocks would throw apes at them.
They'd call them rock apes.
They'd throw rocks at them.
joe rogan
They found several footprints and they also caught something on thermal imaging that might have been a bipedal creature.
It says, however, in the end, Gates couldn't be sure that they found evidence of a batutut, which led some viewers to vent their frustrations on Twitter.
Well, people vent their frustrations on Twitter no matter what you do.
I don't even want to read Twitter after all the what-ifs that we've thrown in today on the Bigfoot front.
james bobo fay
Just read the smart people.
joe rogan
I don't have a smart filter.
I need a smart filter for Twitter.
No, the idiots, they should have their say, too, as long as they're not cunts.
Right?
james bobo fay
I honestly don't read any reviews.
I don't read anything.
I don't look at any of those Bigfoot websites.
joe rogan
Really?
How come?
james bobo fay
It's just, you know, it's like, you know.
joe rogan
You must get tired of people saying that you're crazy, Bigfoot's fake.
Because, like, I said that I was going to talk to you about this today because all my life, like I've said, I've read so many books on Bigfoot.
I've watched so many documentaries.
I've always been fascinated by it.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
So you're smart.
unidentified
Immediately people are like, fucking Bigfoot's fake, fucking Bigfoot's fake.
joe rogan
Like...
No, you don't know Bigfoot's fake.
You're just a dick.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
You want everything to be negative, you fuck.
james bobo fay
Right, you have a lot of negative.
Well, you know, it's like when people say, well, I think that this is my theory.
It's like, I've studied this thing for over 30 years and spent 25 years looking in the field actively.
And, I mean, I know they're real.
I've seen them for myself.
I've heard them.
I've talked to thousands of people that have seen them that are legitimate.
I mean, I've seen them myself.
I know they're real.
And so when people go, well, I think this, and I'll assume they're happening.
Like, they just thought of it in five minutes.
And it's like, well, that's like me going to some, like, you know, astrophysicist guy that's in a lab with, you know, a giant telescope looking up, you know, a 30-foot telescope looking at the stars studying, you know, he's got a PhD in astronomy.
And I go, I think the moon's made of cheese.
That's what I think.
That's like when people come to me and tell me what they think about Bigfoot and they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's one of those things, man.
It's one of those things where I would imagine it would get really annoying if that was your life's dedication.
I can say I believe in Bigfoot and people call me an idiot.
I'm like, whatever.
james bobo fay
Really?
joe rogan
I'm a fucking host of fear factor.
I'm a fucking stand-up comedian.
There's a lot of evidence I'm probably an idiot.
The Bigfoot thing is just one little piece of the puzzle.
james bobo fay
That shows you're smart though, really.
joe rogan
Well, I leave everything open.
I leave open the possibility.
There's a lot of things that I leave open.
Probably ridiculous.
But to me, that one makes sense.
There's just too many people that have seen something.
james bobo fay
If one of them is true, it's real.
joe rogan
There's too many different names for it in Native American languages.
I believe there's more than a hundred different names.
james bobo fay
There's like 508 categorized for North America.
joe rogan
Yeah, what's that?
There's not that many things that they believe that aren't real.
You know, they have, like, they pray to certain gods, you know, like the rain gods and fire gods and all that kind of shit.
But they don't have, like, things that aren't real.
They don't have too many, like...
james bobo fay
Or they're spirit animals.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
And Bigfoot's in both worlds.
Bigfoot's the one that...
Well, some of them have, like...
joe rogan
They think it's a real animal, though.
james bobo fay
A crow can be in both worlds.
But, yeah, it's real.
They're not...
Dude, no native will tell you they're an animal.
They're a type of people.
joe rogan
So they think it's just a...
james bobo fay
They say it's a tribe.
joe rogan
A tribe.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
They think of it as a tribe.
james bobo fay
Oh, yeah.
You know what?
We were just in Australia with the aboriginals.
Those guys blew my mind.
And they have so much knowledge about these things.
joe rogan
So they have them in Australia?
james bobo fay
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
How the fuck did they get to Australia?
james bobo fay
We got our...
joe rogan
How'd the Bigfoot get to Australia?
james bobo fay
They're not sure.
The Aboriginals all say they were there when they got there 50,000 years ago.
joe rogan
So the Bigfoots are good at avoiding people on every continent?
There's not like one group of Bigfoots that's a retard race...
james bobo fay
You know, they see them in the summer way north, where it's daylight all day long, like way northern Canada and stuff.
They'll see them in small outpost villages, like native villages.
They'll go to the garbage dumps in the middle of the day, and it's like, why don't you guys film?
They just don't.
joe rogan
What?
Why would they just not?
That doesn't make any sense.
In 2012, that you would see a Sasquatch.
james bobo fay
There's a lot of kids now.
Because of our show, too, more kids are in it.
They're like, oh...
Hey, we're going to try to film it.
joe rogan
But these people just don't.
What do you mean they just don't?
That's crazy.
brian redban
Is it?
joe rogan
What's that?
brian redban
Is it crazy?
james bobo fay
Have you guys spent any time on reserve?
joe rogan
You don't think it is, Brian?
brian redban
No, I don't think it's crazy.
joe rogan
What do you think?
brian redban
They're busy looking for this thing, hunting it.
They don't carry a camera around for that one second.
james bobo fay
No, these people aren't looking for Bigfoots.
These people live there.
joe rogan
Brian, are you playing devil's advocate or something?
unidentified
I just know.
joe rogan
Are you trolling here?
unidentified
What are you doing?
brian redban
Are you trolling, son of a bitch?
To me, I just can't believe that one person doesn't have one of those GoCams on, those HD GoCams that cost $89 or something like that.
joe rogan
It would be fucking crazy if it happened.
james bobo fay
It's going to.
Technology is catching up to the squatch, for sure.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's going to be the drones that catch them.
james bobo fay
I don't know, dude.
joe rogan
So do you believe that they're all over the country?
I know they are.
james bobo fay
I've personally heard them in Oregon, Washington, California, Alaska, Florida, Kentucky.
joe rogan
Florida?
james bobo fay
Yeah, the skunk ape.
joe rogan
Really?
In Florida?
unidentified
Yeah, New York.
brian redban
I'm sure that's just not a Cuban.
joe rogan
How dare you.
james bobo fay
Ozzie Guillen over here.
joe rogan
Well, they have started seeing mountain lions in Florida again.
james bobo fay
Oh, you know, just another reason, like, government doesn't want to acknowledge Bigfoot is...
There's a few reasons why government doesn't want to do it.
Everywhere we go, when we go to these places, they say there's no mountain lions here, but they're here.
You keep hearing that until one gets hit or someone shoots one.
joe rogan
Well, one got shot, one recently in Ottawa.
They thought they had been extinct in Canada or in that part of Canada since the 1800s.
james bobo fay
Right.
joe rogan
That was the last sighting that they had.
They shot a big one, man.
james bobo fay
They're spread out.
They don't want to do...
joe rogan
They shot one in Connecticut.
james bobo fay
Yeah.
unidentified
How about that?
james bobo fay
You have to have a management plan.
These states are all strapped.
You have to have a management plan.
They don't want to acknowledge...
That's why they say we don't have them because they don't want to have to deal with them.
But with Bigfoot, I think it was more just...
What's really going to be interesting when it comes out there real here soon is going to be the whole...
I think there's going to be a lot of PhD students write papers on this and psychiatrists and psychologists are going to write books on this and On how these things, there's all this evidence and stories and just everything right there in front of you and people refuse to acknowledge it.
joe rogan
Well, I think one of the reasons why they refuse to acknowledge it is what we've talked about before.
There's so many people that fake it.
There's so many people that fake UFO stories.
There's so many people that fake Bigfoot stories.
People are fucking crazy.
And there's a lot of people out there.
james bobo fay
Not a lot of people think Bigfoot stories, really.
joe rogan
You don't think so?
I think anything cryptic, man.
I think Loch Ness, anything UFO, anything Bigfoot.
I think ghosts.
There's a lot of people that are full of shit when it comes to those stories.
Because those are like fun stories to bring up.
If people say they saw a crocodile, I genuinely believe them.
When you start saying you saw some shit that's in the cryptic realm, man, you might have seen it, but it also might be that you're one of those crazy fucks that likes to pretend you saw something awesome.
james bobo fay
You talk to those people long enough and it becomes apparent that's what's going on.
joe rogan
See, I wish I was on your show then, because I'm way better at that than most people.
I'm really good at sniffing out bullshit.
We're really good.
james bobo fay
We're getting ready to jump the shark here probably pretty soon because we're running out of videos to look at.
They're talking about having celebrities come on.
joe rogan
Dude, I'll come on.
james bobo fay
We got a lot.
joe rogan
I'll come on and just let me come on and screen your guests.
I'll go, this guy's crazy.
james bobo fay
That'd be awesome.
joe rogan
I'd be like, this guy's full of shit.
This guy's crazy.
They'd be screaming at me.
Like, dude, you're not telling the truth.
I know when people are telling the truth.
I smell them.
It's weird.
I've always been good at knowing crazy people.
So if you bring me in front of a crazy dude and he tells you a Bigfoot story, I'm going to tell you he's full of shit.
james bobo fay
Well, yeah.
So, I mean, I don't believe everything I hear.
People go, you guys believe everything you hear on there.
It's like, well, most of the witnesses we're dealing with have already been vetted.
joe rogan
You had this one show where there was this one obviously gay guy.
james bobo fay
Oh, Nick.
joe rogan
Yeah, who's like, I saw.
It was right here.
The big phone was right.
I'm like, bitch, you didn't see nothing.
james bobo fay
No, no, that guy.
joe rogan
He's just trying to drag some dudes into the woods and hope somebody stumbles on your dick.
james bobo fay
That guy was a wildlife biologist.
joe rogan
Is he?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, good for him.
He's full of shit, too.
james bobo fay
No.
unidentified
You don't think so?
james bobo fay
No, no.
I totally believe that guy.
unidentified
It seemed like he was making it up as he went along to me.
james bobo fay
No, he was a great dude.
He was great.
joe rogan
Yeah?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
So you firmly believe that that guy saw a Bigfoot?
james bobo fay
Yeah, we spent...
joe rogan
Where was his camera, this son of a bitch?
james bobo fay
We were with that guy for a week.
He was our local guide, and he showed us around.
You would love that guy.
He's hilarious.
He was our guide for a week, so we were with the guy for a week.
And Matt knew the guy for several years already.
He'd been on different expeditions around the country with him.
He never, you know, and usually when people start telling those stories, like, more will come up and it changes.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
james bobo fay
And his story's just the same all the way through.
joe rogan
So, he wrote it down.
He's smart.
He's a good job.
Did well.
I'm not saying, I don't know.
He might be the one guy that's telling the truth, right?
james bobo fay
You know, the one guy that we're all sure is lying, we'll see if you think he is, too.
joe rogan
This season?
I'm sure I'll think he's lying.
If you think he's lying, I think almost everybody's lying.
unidentified
Do you?
joe rogan
Yeah, most people.
james bobo fay
You know, I think if you lived out in the woods and you lived in a rural community where there are Bigfoots around and you've talked to so many people, like, dude.
joe rogan
Dude, I like Bigfoot so much, I thought of buying land in the Pacific Northwest just to live in the summers with hope of seeing a Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
Dude, I know.
joe rogan
That's how freaking stupid I am.
james bobo fay
I know the place.
It's for sale right now.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Where is it?
You selling real estate now?
james bobo fay
No, no, no, no.
joe rogan
Bigfoot sighting spots.
That would be a good move, dude.
james bobo fay
I'm talking to a guy about trying to buy it right now.
joe rogan
If you went and you bought real estate in heavy Bigfoot areas and set up cameras and shit.
james bobo fay
That's the plan.
Have a lodge.
joe rogan
If you live somewhere in the Pacific Northwest in an area where there's heavy-duty Bigfoot sightings, Just fucking set up cameras everywhere.
Everywhere and every day you go and check those cameras.
james bobo fay
Well, that's what the Olympic Project is going on right now.
One of the best pieces of DNA from the Olympic Project is this weird looking Bigfoot.
They got pictures of it.
Comes up and snipped the camera and licked it.
And they got saliva off the camera.
joe rogan
Olympic project?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
Do they have these photos online?
Can you see the photos of him licking it?
james bobo fay
I think so.
brian redban
So where did they take the saliva?
Like, they shipped it next to air?
joe rogan
They brought it to a psychic, Brian.
james bobo fay
There's a lot of cops involved in this, and we have a protocol we follow for collecting DNA evidence.
Because you guys would laugh about this.
I used to...
I was on this crazy Squatch adventure like probably 2002, 2001, 2002. And this guy bought property that had been abandoned for 11 years and the Squatches were living on the property.
And they didn't like him moving.
And all this stuff happened, but they...
They, uh, they were, we'd find these huge scats in the woods around the property, like giant, like giant human shits.
Like, you know, it'd be like a foot high and 18 inches across at the base, like big, thick, like two inch cables.
And I'd collect them and bring them down to the fishing game and drop them off.
Like, check out this Bigfoot, you know, scat, you know, can you guys DNA test it?
You know, what can you do?
Blah, blah, blah.
And then my buddy got a job at the fishing game.
Like a couple of years later, I'm all, Dude, whatever happened to my samples?
He's like, what are you talking about?
Dude, I brought all these Bigfoot scat samples and I brought in some hair a couple times.
He's like, dude, they told me about some crazy guy that brings in bear shit and drops it out and they throw it away.
They never even looked at it.
joe rogan
Oh, that's funny.
james bobo fay
They wouldn't even look at it.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're probably like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're going to check on it for you.
brian redban
It seems very unprofessional.
If you pay for something, you think that they have to give you some kind of results.
joe rogan
Yeah, they should really be checking.
james bobo fay
Motherfuckers.
joe rogan
Goddamn tax dollars.
unidentified
Did he glue hair on his chest just for this Bigfoot episode?
joe rogan
No, he's a savage.
brian redban
You're a very good catcher.
joe rogan
Grinds an animal.
So the Olympic Project says they have the researchers in the Olympic Mountain Range in Washington State.
The Olympic Project is a comprehensive systematic camera trap program consisting of 50 plus cameras placed along predatory travel routes through the Olympic Mountains.
Our primary focus is to obtain a series of crystal clear photographs of Sasquatch in their natural environment.
So, so far it says they haven't gotten anything.
james bobo fay
Is that what it says?
joe rogan
Yeah, they have footprints.
They don't have any.
james bobo fay
See, everyone had to sign NDAs about the DNA. So that could be why that's not on there.
But I've seen the photos.
I thought it was a sock puppet when I first looked at it.
But the DNA came back legit.
joe rogan
Yeah.
This doesn't say here that they have anything.
james bobo fay
It doesn't?
joe rogan
No.
Not on their website.
james bobo fay
Dude, I'll call a guy, Derek.
joe rogan
They have bears and deers.
It's cool looking deer photos.
james bobo fay
Oh, they've won all the game cam photos.
There's those big contests everywhere, like 5,000 first place.
joe rogan
That's fucking badass, man.
They've got some awesome photos.
They do have a lot of great Wildlife photos.
james bobo fay
You see the mountain lion stalking the buck and the buck doesn't see it?
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
They won first plies last year with that one.
joe rogan
It's really cool, man.
They show this mountain lion walking through the snow, too.
And they have a bunch of bears, including bears standing upright, which is pretty fucking cool.
Bears getting really close to the trap.
Coyotes.
Elk.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
I mean, their camera trap photos make me want to buy some land and set up camera traps.
They'll be badass just to see different shit every day.
You know?
james bobo fay
And the other problem with those...
joe rogan
Huge elk.
james bobo fay
Yeah, oh dude, that's, yeah.
joe rogan
A mountain lion got right up to the camera.
Oh shit.
james bobo fay
See, they look, dude, they notice it.
Like animals, if you look at most of the pictures, they'll be looking at the camera, at least on the second shot.
That infrared flash goes off, they look.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
And there's been a lot of cameras.
The squatchers, they'll break them.
They'll turn, flip them around backwards.
I put up camera traps for my, they walked into a camp one night I was in, and I had the cameras all hidden like in tall grass and stuff, and They're all pushed down.
All of them were pushed down so that the lens was facing the ground.
joe rogan
Wow.
Folks, you should just check it out.
Just go to theolympicproject.com just to look at the actual real animals, the bobcats, the wildlife.
No fucking Bigfoot, though.
They got a photo of elk fucking.
Some elks paused right in front of the camera and fucked.
This is amazing.
james bobo fay
Hey, can you put it back up on that one I can see?
joe rogan
Yeah, put up Olympic Project.
The photos are amazing, man.
But no Bigfoot, man.
They got a bear look in the camera.
james bobo fay
There's two shots of a Squatch coming up to the camera real close.
But it must not be on the way.
I'll call Derek when we're done.
joe rogan
Well, there's one that says bear gets close to the camera.
I don't see shit up here that's...
That even says it's a Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
I don't think it's up there just because of the NDA. I got it right here.
Yeah, there it is.
That's it.
joe rogan
Yeah, scroll down.
The photos are awesome, man.
It's really cool.
brian redban
They're saying that's a Squatch right there?
joe rogan
What, that mountain lion looking thing?
james bobo fay
No, no, down.
The next one down.
joe rogan
That's a Squatch?
james bobo fay
Wait, where's the one where you can see its whole arm and eyeball and stuff?
joe rogan
The creature reappears.
james bobo fay
So wait, go back up.
Oh, there, that one.
Yeah, okay.
They've done all this analyzation on that, and that hair pattern, the striation patterns on that, and the, that's like seven, that thing's like seven feet off the ground.
joe rogan
So it could be a bear, right?
james bobo fay
No, bears don't get over six.
Six-six would be the top, like a trophy bear.
joe rogan
Well, what kind of bear?
james bobo fay
Six, black bears.
There's only black bears.
joe rogan
Only black bears.
brian redban
Like a producer guy.
joe rogan
A six-six is like about as big as a black bear gets?
james bobo fay
Six foot's huge for a black bear.
joe rogan
Brian, which page did you look at?
brian redban
Olympicproject.com.
Possible Squatch sightings.
joe rogan
Possible Squatch sightings.
brian redban
It's on the menu.
joe rogan
Yeah, but did you guys patent the word Squatch?
Because I had never heard it before.
james bobo fay
I should have.
joe rogan
Is that you?
Did you come up with it?
james bobo fay
I know Scott Harriet.
You never know.
That guy's a comedian.
joe rogan
Scott, what's his name?
james bobo fay
Harriet.
joe rogan
No.
james bobo fay
He wasn't like big time or anything, but I know he did a documentary called Squatching, but I never heard anyone say it before I said it.
brian redban
It's Randy Licky.
joe rogan
Man, this is a blurry bullshit.
Can't see shit.
james bobo fay
I agree.
I'm not too impressed.
joe rogan
Sons of bitches.
james bobo fay
But animal experts have looked at it and the hair doesn't match.
brian redban
Yeah, but how could you tell?
I mean, you can't tell.
Like an animal expert at Petco?
joe rogan
This is the problem.
The problem is it's blurry as fuck.
Their best shit is blurry as fuck.
james bobo fay
Well, because the camera's set to take pictures like 30 feet away, not a foot.
joe rogan
But their photo gallery is amazing, man.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
I don't care if it's set to take 30. There should be a photo, man.
There should be a photo, one of these fucking things.
james bobo fay
There'll be one coming.
I agree.
joe rogan
I hope so, man.
james bobo fay
It's frustrating, dude.
It's really frustrating.
joe rogan
It must be.
What if they found out that it wasn't real?
What if you found out you'd been duped?
james bobo fay
I've already seen them.
See, that is...
joe rogan
There's no way you got duped?
james bobo fay
There's no...
I'm not worried about that at all.
joe rogan
So what you saw was so conclusive that you're 100% sure.
brian redban
Why did you have a camera one of those 12 times?
james bobo fay
I did, dude, but the only one I saw in the daylight I didn't because my shit got ripped off.
joe rogan
So conveniently, the Bigfoot psychically knew that your camera wasn't present.
Imagine if they were so sensitive.
james bobo fay
If I would have had a camera, I wouldn't have got a picture.
joe rogan
You think so?
james bobo fay
I wouldn't have.
I saw it for literally half a second.
It was just gone.
joe rogan
Once Google Goggles comes out, people need to go hiking for Sasquatch with Google Goggles.
james bobo fay
There's people wearing those now, like those little...
brian redban
GoPros.
james bobo fay
Yeah, well, they have smaller ones, even like little spy ones.
unidentified
Right.
brian redban
Yeah, but those ones suck.
The resolution sucked.
The GoPros are HD, so it's like...
james bobo fay
No, people are using GoPros.
People are mounting them on helmets.
joe rogan
Yeah, they have to.
It's going to get ridiculous.
james bobo fay
Oh, there's a new footage we think is real of a Squatch down on the side of the road that some hillbillies got with a GoPro.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
New footage.
james bobo fay
If you look up from like two or three weeks ago, it's down on the side of the road.
It's up in Canada somewhere.
joe rogan
New Bigfoot footage?
What would you look up on YouTube?
james bobo fay
Canadian Bigfoot.
Maybe GoPro.
joe rogan
A lot of sightings come from Canada.
james bobo fay
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And if it was just crazy people reporting them, there would be just as many settings in Hawaii, right?
joe rogan
Right.
james bobo fay
Or Rhode Island.
joe rogan
Well, not really.
james bobo fay
Yeah, if there was...
joe rogan
There's not enough place for them to hide in Hawaii.
james bobo fay
In 1900 or 1850, everyone knew what a unicorn was.
And no one knew what a Bigfoot was.
But you can find hundreds and hundreds of newspaper clippings about people seeing a giant ape.
There's no people saying they saw a unicorn.
joe rogan
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
It's always the same thing, right?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
And it follows the same patterns.
When we were in Australia, we'd always heard that Yowie's were different than, that's what they call them, the Aboriginals in Australia call them Yowie's.
We'd always heard Yowie's were different than Bigfoots.
When we were down there, we found out they're Bigfoots, man.
I mean, the way they act.
The best stuff we recorded was in Australia.
joe rogan
You think they're exactly the same?
james bobo fay
I don't know about that, but the action, the patterns, all that was the same.
joe rogan
Did you have photos of anything that you got in Australia?
james bobo fay
No, but all the patterns were the same.
No, the behavioral patterns.
And what people describe, there's a little, like, you know, maybe the difference between, like, a European gray wolf and a North American gray wolf.
You know what I mean?
Like, same genus and all that.
joe rogan
But again, a lot of photos of wolves.
james bobo fay
Yeah, but they did a three-year study on wolverines.
All those wolverines you see on shows are in wildlife parks.
They've been like babies that were captured when their mother got killed or whatever.
But they did a three-year study, millions of dollars spent on this, and the only footage they got was from like 400 to 500 yards away on a snow field of a wolverine going away.
And that was a well-equipped, professionally funded, looking for a known animal, and they got one clip in three years.
joe rogan
That's pretty crazy.
james bobo fay
Yeah, it's like snow leopards.
joe rogan
They didn't get any footage of snow leopards until like 2007. Do you think that people just underestimate the amount of actual forest there is in this country?
james bobo fay
Oh, God, yeah.
You don't need a million acres of forest for a squash to hide.
joe rogan
Well, you think you would because otherwise people would run into it.
james bobo fay
People run into them all the time.
They're seeing all...
It's just not that...
You guys expect it to be in the paper.
joe rogan
Just never with a camera.
I need a fucking photo.
brian redban
Just one.
james bobo fay
Just one.
joe rogan
I can't find any of this footage.
james bobo fay
I've been with Squatchers and stuff that have said like, yeah, I had my camera around my neck or I was holding it and I saw it and it looked at me and they just shit their pants and froze.
And even after the thing was gone, they didn't even take a picture until it was gone.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm looking at this Canadian, the new Canadian Bigfoot footage.
james bobo fay
Is it the one on the side of the road?
It's down on the side?
Standing down like below the...
joe rogan
He's like walking through a trail.
james bobo fay
No, no, no.
It's just a car drives by and it's down on the side of the road.
Standing there.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
No, this one's different.
This one's a dude walking through the world.
james bobo fay
And when I say hillbilly, I don't mean any negative connotation of that.
To me, it's like a compliment.
joe rogan
Hillbilly's a compliment?
james bobo fay
I say redneck and hillbilly, I don't mean anything bad by it at all.
joe rogan
Well, a lot of rednecks do like being rednecks.
james bobo fay
Yeah, but hillbillies don't like being called hillbillies.
joe rogan
No?
james bobo fay
No, I found that out the hard way.
joe rogan
What, they tried to fight you?
Dudes got mad at you?
james bobo fay
Um, yeah, they get offended.
Like, one of the witnesses got really mad that I, you know, I was just joking around, like, man, that's some hillbilly shit there, you know, and he got real offended and was like...
joe rogan
Well, he's probably crazy.
That's why he's making up a Bigfoot story and getting offended.
Son of a bitch.
Here's the original one.
Original video is over an hour long.
So what were they doing?
They were driving around?
james bobo fay
Yeah, this one.
It's real quick.
It's either a...
Either it's a dude...
brian redban
It's either a racist video or...
joe rogan
Where is this thing?
james bobo fay
Down the right.
Right in the...
Right there.
joe rogan
Highlight it for us?
brian redban
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
What?
unidentified
Why am I not saying that?
james bobo fay
See where the shadow starts?
It's right in front of the first shot.
brian redban
Right there.
Really?
james bobo fay
If you go one more couple more frames, it's really clear.
Right there.
brian redban
But that photo they just showed, oddly enough, was like a million times better resolution.
joe rogan
Yeah, that looks fake as fuck.
How is that so good?
brian redban
Than this.
Which is on...
joe rogan
That is kind of weird.
james bobo fay
We're going to go investigate it.
joe rogan
It seems like a trick of light and shadows to me.
james bobo fay
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, because it seems like it's...
Well, maybe it's because of the resolution of the video.
james bobo fay
It could be.
We're going to go check it out.
brian redban
See how it's on the side right there?
That's the clearest frame of their own video.
james bobo fay
They went back later and filmed it and it's not there.
Or it's not there.
So it's either a man in a suit or a squatch, I think.
joe rogan
And then these guys released this video?
brian redban
This would have been right here.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's so clear.
brian redban
I mean, this is the same footage that they're, you know...
joe rogan
Listen, man, that's some shadows.
I could save you some money.
Don't go on that trip.
james bobo fay
Dude, we gotta go look at something.
joe rogan
Yeah, how many sightings do you guys get in, like, a month that they ask you to investigate?
unidentified
Oh, no.
james bobo fay
Well, there's like...
See, I'm not going to wade through all this shit.
Like, look at every video.
Like, they have a whole production team that just...
All they do is scour the internet.
Like, every day there's a new video put up.
joe rogan
Do you worry now that the show's a hit that people might start faking it?
unidentified
Oh, totally.
james bobo fay
Oh, totally.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
We already are.
We're getting that.
joe rogan
You must be, right?
james bobo fay
But, I mean, we're pretty good.
I mean, we've been doing this...
Me, Cliff, Matt and I have been doing this like 20 years.
We're pretty good at filtering people out pretty quick.
Like, we caught one guy hoaxing in the Ohio episode.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
Brian's from Ohio, so blame him.
james bobo fay
And they don't want us to see a lot of stuff ahead of time.
They want us to be surprised when we see it.
Well, we all know it, just because we're in the Bigfoot community.
But I hadn't seen that video before, and I'm looking at it on a monitor this big.
And then when you see it on home, like on a big high-def TV, and you're going, you were fooled by that video at the beginning.
It's like, well, I just saw it on a black-and-white monitor, like a five-inch monitor or something.
But it was a guy, and Cliff busted him.
Cliff straight up called the guy a liar.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Right then, the guy started trembling and tearing up and stuff.
joe rogan
So he's a faker and a bitch.
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
How dare you, sir, with your fake Bigfoot footage?
Listen, man, I really want to believe.
I really do.
And I might be a little bit more skeptical than you, but I hold out hope.
james bobo fay
It's not a matter of believing, it's knowing.
joe rogan
I wish I shared your enthusiasm.
It'd be fun.
I'd be out there with you.
james bobo fay
You're enthusiastic.
joe rogan
I'm very enthusiastic.
I hope it's real.
I just feel like there's a lot of fucking, a lot of fuckery afoot.
That's what I feel like.
james bobo fay
Yeah, but it's...
But if any of it's real, then it's real.
joe rogan
Well, if one of them is real, then it's real.
brian redban
Well, yours is real, right?
So you're...
So it is real.
joe rogan
Well, you've seen it.
What you've seen is unfuckery.
You know more than anybody, which is probably why you're so crazy about doing it.
Well, I'm saying you know more than the average person, for sure, and even more than the average person researching it because you've seen it.
How many researchers haven't seen anything?
Has the chick on the show ever seen anything?
She seems to be the most skeptical.
Sorry, what's her name?
james bobo fay
Renee.
joe rogan
Renee?
Yeah.
james bobo fay
She saw something up in the Olympic Peninsula where the Olympic Project is and where I just got back this weekend.
She saw something.
She doesn't say what it was.
She said it looked like it was tall and there was like an arm.
And she's like, well, it could have been a bear walking upright or it could have been a bear that was just starting to drop down as it was running, like picking up speed on two legs, getting ready to drop down.
But she probably saw a squatch.
joe rogan
She's the most skeptical out of the group, would you agree?
james bobo fay
Yeah, that's her job, too.
I mean, there's been times where she was like, holy shit, that was a Squatch, and they're like, you can't say that.
joe rogan
Oh, they tell her she can't say that?
james bobo fay
Well, we were in Oregon, and we recorded those ones.
Do they do that?
joe rogan
They tell you what role you're supposed to play in the show, and she plays the skeptic role?
james bobo fay
No, well, just when we were in Oregon, when it happened, she was like, oh my god, that had to be a Squatch, that had to be a Squatch.
I'm like, look, you can't.
joe rogan
Why do they say she can't say that?
james bobo fay
Because then, I guess, like, you know...
joe rogan
Then she wouldn't be taking credit...
james bobo fay
I'm probably going to get totally in trouble for having said that.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Probably.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, they don't...
Well, they say...
I've never been a part of a reality show like that.
james bobo fay
Because she represents all the people at home that are skeptical.
That's her job, is to represent them.
Like, what would they say?
Like, the person that thinks it's all bullshit, what would they...
She's supposed to ask the question that that person is thinking.
joe rogan
What did she...
When she was seeing something, what did she see that made her so convinced?
james bobo fay
She didn't see...
No, she heard.
unidentified
Heard.
joe rogan
What did she hear?
james bobo fay
Dude, we heard two Squatchers calling back and forth up in Malala River in Oregon.
And it's on the episode, but dude, if you've heard of Murphy's Law, Murphy's Law is nothing.
Squatcher's Law is way worse.
joe rogan
What Squatcher's Law?
james bobo fay
If something's going to go wrong right when it happens, it will.
Like, your battery dies, or...
Whatever, just whatever it may be happens.
We've got a call from the network going, camera B, whatever isn't working.
All the tape you sent us is blank.
We get this call, we're out in the woods, and when it finally came through, someone had come back from camp.
The messages come in earlier that day, and they're like, You gotta check the camera right now and check the audio.
Like, there's nothing synced up.
And it just turned out the editor was totally blowing it.
But we stopped all filming.
He was, you know, putting the camera back into playback mode to see what he had.
The sound guy was checking his stuff.
I had a parabolic dish that wasn't part of their stuff.
I had a parabolic to record.
And it was going from, like, it would clear up and get really cold and it would, like, kind of cloud back up and then get a little bit warmer.
So I had like five layers on.
I was taking off a layer because I was burning up.
And I had the parabolic that were in pitch black.
I put the parabolic on the brush and these things started screaming.
I got my jack...
I had like my jack...
Whatever, my thermal I'm pulling off over my head right when this happens.
And we're...
Everyone's like, holy shit.
When it first happened, we were like, no way.
By the time we got up, the sound was coming between me and the camera guy.
The whole crew was between me.
So I had the parabolic dish here.
And all it picked up was just these guys ripping open Velcro, uncovering stuff, because it had been raining on and off.
The guy was going, no way!
So you can't hear anything.
Nothing comes through on the parabolic.
I mean, it's like people go, and then we hear stuff around at home.
This is what I want them to put more effort into this is capturing what we hear.
Like we wear lapel mics that are made to block out all sound except for us talking.
joe rogan
Right, exactly.
They don't pick up screams in the distance.
james bobo fay
They're designed not to.
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
So, but we do have a guy that's going out with us now that has the parabolic, and he's, you know, but you have to be pointed, like, if it's coming from right there and you're pointed here, you might not get it.
joe rogan
Right.
james bobo fay
Like, you gotta be pointed right at it.
And we don't have the best gear for that.
Like, it's kind of hokey.
joe rogan
Do you know, like, when you hear something in the woods, too, it's kind of weird.
Things echo off of trees and stuff.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly where it's coming from, right?
james bobo fay
Totally.
Like, my ear...
Like, I was, you know, big time into surfing for a long time.
joe rogan
Oh, you got that surfer ear?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Where, like, a bone grows in your ear?
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah.
And it's worse on my left ear.
joe rogan
Do they fix that with surgery?
james bobo fay
Yeah, they can.
I gotta go get it done.
But my hearing's really good, though.
But it's...
My ear will...
Because the cavity's so small, it can clog up easy.
So sometimes it's clogged and whatever.
It's like...
But they always show us going, is that a squash or something like that?
And they never show, like, where we go, like, you know, after we hear it again going, oh, that was a coyote, or that was a bear, or whatever it was.
joe rogan
So you feel like they edited Hokie?
They tried to make it a little bit of Hokie?
james bobo fay
I thought season one they did, and I thought season two they did a good job, and season three, we'll see how they do.
I mean, season two, the editors did a great job.
I thought that show got way better.
joe rogan
How many seasons have you done so far?
james bobo fay
This is the third one?
We shot three.
They've shown two seasons.
We just finished the third, like, ten more episodes.
We just got picked up for seasons four and five.
We start next month.
So they're going to start airing season three in the fall.
We'll already be pumping in episodes for four.
So they're going to air, like, seven and a half months straight every Sunday a new episode.
brian redban
That's awesome.
joe rogan
So that's awesome.
So when you go out there, how many, like if you take a hundred trips, how many trips do you hear something or see some footprint or something?
brian redban
Um...
james bobo fay
It seems to go in ways.
I mean, I haven't seen a Squatch since 2007, so I haven't seen anything for five years, being out there a lot.
joe rogan
Damn, that's got to be frustrating.
james bobo fay
Yeah, but from 2000...
Well, I don't tell this story.
I don't count it because it was just so frustrating, but...
My buddy and I, Bart, we got footed.
We know we got some, but it was such an old school kind of shitty thermal.
It's just these big blurry heat things.
You can't prove anything.
We know all the sounds that were with it, what happened.
It was a squash.
I was walking back out of the same place, and it was a big rainstorm, and Cliff, the guy on the show with me, the other guy Cliff, this guy Wally, he invented the ACDC adapter.
He's this billionaire guy that was funding us, buying us equipment, and Cliff had just fried his recording unit, like a $1,500 unit in the rain.
And Wally told us, like, hey, you guys can't keep blowing.
Because he grew up poor.
Even though he's a billionaire guy, he's a frugal guy.
Like, hey, you guys can't be frying stuff out in the rain.
If it's raining, just put the stuff away, you know?
So I was walking back out, and to run the thermal, it has a waterproof flap, you have to open that, stick in a cord that goes to a recording unit.
Now we have built-in recorders with the thermal.
But then we did, and I was walking back out, and I got back down where we'd seen it three weeks before, and there hadn't been a peep all night, and usually all the action happens way back up where I was coming from, and I had walked A few miles, my truck was parked right off the highway next to some houses.
And the thing ran, it was just standing behind my truck.
And if I had filmed it, it would be clear-cut.
Like, no, it was way taller than the back of my truck.
I mean, I have a shell that's about this high, and it was above the shell.
So when I filmed it, well, I didn't film it, but when I looked at it, right when I pulled my thermo out of my pocket, I'm looking at it.
And there's big water drops coming down.
So it went blurry really quick, what I was looking at.
But you could see it for a second.
And it just ran up the driveway.
And I never tell that story because everyone's like, you had a recording in it and you didn't record it.
Like, you know, blah, blah, blah.
joe rogan
That's got to be frustrating as fuck, dude.
james bobo fay
Dude, that was like...
joe rogan
Do you ever get tired of people saying that you're crazy?
james bobo fay
No one says that.
joe rogan
No one says they're crazy?
No one?
When you talk to regular folks, are you just like firmly embedded in the Sasquatch community?
james bobo fay
I know I'm right.
I don't care what they say.
To me, it's like people going, you're crazy that the sun goes around the earth.
joe rogan
So for you, it's just a matter of time?
james bobo fay
I know it's coming out.
I know it's going to come out.
Like, all this stuff going on, there's no way...
I mean, people talk about how there's not better footage.
Well, look who's trying to get the footage.
This guy's like me, you know, like running out Sony hand camcorders.
It's not professional.
joe rogan
It's hard to get equipment back to where these things are if you're really talking about deep woods.
james bobo fay
Oh, yeah, batteries.
Like, all that kind of stuff, like generators.
joe rogan
How long do you stay out there when you do, like, a camp, when you go squatching?
james bobo fay
Like...
Me and Cliff did a two-month or one time.
joe rogan
Two months.
james bobo fay
Not deep, but we'd come back and supply it.
That was the longest we went straight.
joe rogan
Two months.
So you would go back how often to Civilization to get supplies?
james bobo fay
Whenever we wanted.
Like, at least once a week.
joe rogan
But you were just camping out there for two months.
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
james bobo fay
And then home for like a couple weeks ago.
I went fishing.
joe rogan
Did you get anything when you were out there for two months?
Filmed?
Nothing?
james bobo fay
No, Cliff took a year.
joe rogan
See something?
james bobo fay
Cliff lived in Long Beach as a school teacher.
And I was like, dude, you know, all these TV companies have been calling me.
We're going to get a show going.
Just quit your job.
Come up.
We'll go squash and just...
Quit your job.
Slay your house.
We'll go squash him for a year.
He did.
joe rogan
Wow.
james bobo fay
And we were out for like...
joe rogan
Brian was ready to do that right now.
james bobo fay
We spent like seven months of that year.
joe rogan
I was thinking about it.
james bobo fay
We did about seven months of that year out in the woods.
joe rogan
Seven months out in the woods.
james bobo fay
We had thermals.
And we'd drive at night.
We'd drive these roads real slow.
We had it pretty wired to get good...
And we thought it was going to be game over.
Because I'd heard them so many times around me come up and growl and snap branches and stomp their feet walking around on two feet and stuff like that that...
I just thought, with a thermal, it's going to be...
Give us a week, we'll have footage.
Two weeks max, and we'll have it.
And it's not the case at all.
They...
I think they've been shot at so many times that even when it's pitch black, they still are always taking that evasive action.
joe rogan
Do you think they can see in the dark?
james bobo fay
Oh yeah, I know they can.
They can definitely see in the dark.
joe rogan
So they're nocturnal creatures?
james bobo fay
For the most part.
They'll come out in the day too.
joe rogan
You've never seen their eyes up close though, right?
james bobo fay
The only thing I've seen in their eyes, the one I saw in the daylight, the eye, the way the sun was coming down, its eye was so deep set and its brow was out so far, I couldn't see that.
I remember that was one thing that struck me because it was that quick.
But the one thing I remember really clearly was the hair was real shiny.
It was super skinny.
The arm was insane.
joe rogan
It's skinny.
james bobo fay
This one was.
All the ones I've seen at night were bulky, except when I saw one about your size.
It was about 5'10".
It looked like a high school linebacker or something like 5'10", 220", something like that.
joe rogan
So it was an adolescence, a child maybe?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
But the big ones I saw were all bulky.
And these are all through night vision or thermal from far away.
joe rogan
You would think they need a lot of fucking food.
They have to.
You would think they would do a lot of damage and leave shits everywhere.
james bobo fay
Well, they've been seen shitting in, like, flowing water.
Like, they're conscious about hiding their scat.
unidentified
Really?
james bobo fay
They just don't shit in the trail.
joe rogan
So you think they're, like, smart enough to know that people are a threat, actively avoid people, and hide from people?
james bobo fay
Dude, they are the kind of people.
joe rogan
They're the kind of people.
Well, I mean, that foot's a footprint of a fucking human.
james bobo fay
No, no, there's total differences.
joe rogan
No, you know what I mean.
I mean, it's like, it's built the big toe down the middle toe.
Yeah, I mean, not a gorilla, for sure.
It looks like a giant human footprint.
james bobo fay
Superficially, it looks like a human foot.
joe rogan
There's nothing else like that in the primate world that has a foot like that.
Well, that's another interesting thing that came to light recently, scientifically.
Over the last decade, they found that, I think they call them Homo florensis.
Florensis, is that it?
james bobo fay
God, Cliff's going to kill me.
He's always telling me how to say it right.
Because I've always said it wrong, because when I read it, I'd say it in my head.
Floresiensis.
joe rogan
Okay.
Well, what it is, folks, it's really like a hobbit, like a real hobbit that really did exist and may even ate people.
james bobo fay
There's a lot of evidence that they're still there.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, this thing, they found bones recently, within the last decade, and really fascinating stuff.
They absolutely know that a very small type of human being existed.
And it was really like, it's not like a dwarf or like a mutation or, you know, a genetic screw-up or anything like that.
It's a whole species, a different, completely different species of human being that they called the Flores Man or two.
They called it like a modern-day Hobbit.
And it's amazing.
I mean, this is something that was mythological up until just a few years ago.
And now, fact, scientific fact, they know for sure this existed.
This is a real small animal.
And where do they think this thing still lives?
james bobo fay
Well, maybe the Cape York Peninsula of Australia, like the Straits of Torres through there, like between Australia and going up into Asia.
There's reports of them on islands up in there to this day.
And then in the 80s, I really respect...
He was a missionary to the Aboriginals up in the Cape...
You know that Cape York Peninsula that goes up in Australia, that big point that goes up?
There's only, like, one road that goes around up there.
It's just empty.
And he was up there, like, visiting these real remote villages.
And he got...
A pack of them came up on him.
And what he described...
He had a forensic artist draw what he saw back then.
And it matches exactly what the reconstructions are from the remains they found in Flores Island.
joe rogan
Wow.
james bobo fay
The Flores Man.
Like, it's...
joe rogan
How many do they think live up there?
james bobo fay
They don't know.
They don't even know if they're still...
The aboriginals say they haven't seen them.
They say they're still around, but they haven't seen them in a while.
Well, they say they haven't seen them...
We didn't talk to them and have seen them within 10 years, but they're supposedly up in those islands up in there still.
There's another type of Bigfoot up in those...
We talked to this guy.
He's on Australia...
He's their version of public radio down in Australia, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
He's the naturalist for them.
He identifies causes.
He's a PhD.
He saw one in Papua New Guinea at 9,000 feet doing a bird survey for the UN back in the 70s.
They're seen in islands too, which is pretty trippy.
Well, in 2004, if you ask any anthropologist how many hominids like us, you know, like Homo branch, like Homo erectus, was alive 30,000 years ago, the answer would have been two, Neanderthal, Homo sapien.
And now it's four.
You know, it's the hobbits, and then they found that new kind of Neanderthal, what do they call it, Desanova, or the one up in Russia they found two years ago.
And they got the DNA out of a giant knuckle bone.
The knuckle bone's like twice as big as a human.
And they got DNA out of that.
So now there's four hominid species that are known.
And when Squatch comes out...
From talking to people that I know that were part of the DNA study, is that...
It's not a tree.
It's not the Homo sapiens, like how humans came.
The Homo branch isn't a tree.
It's a very bushy plant.
It's a lot of lateral, a lot of crossing.
And what the DNA shows is that there's five types of homin species in us.
There wasn't these clean breaks coming down through like...
joe rogan
Right, like most people are part Neanderthal.
Most white people especially.
james bobo fay
Everyone that's not...
joe rogan
Europeans.
james bobo fay
They said that one MMA fighter, Arlovsky maybe, is 10%.
joe rogan
What?
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
Where'd you hear that?
james bobo fay
Who was I talking to?
It was someone that was part of that genetic study, but they've got people with 12% DNA. I think I would have heard that.
There's people with 12% DNA. 12% Neanderthals?
12% Neanderthals DNA in people like in that area up above Mongolia, Far East Russia.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Yeah, they've found...
If you're a European, you're at least 2%.
You have at least 2% Neanderthals.
joe rogan
Have you seen that footage that's been going around the internet recently?
We talked about it on yesterday's podcast.
james bobo fay
The Neanderthal in Portugal, Spain?
unidentified
Yeah.
james bobo fay
Like the one picture where it's sitting there on a rock looking over...
joe rogan
No, the Neanderthal that looks like a gorilla, besides the guy's idea that they weren't, they didn't look like us, they had black skin like a gorilla, and they were really scary and muscular, and they fed on people, and they were like a super predator.
james bobo fay
He's already got, that theory's been refuted.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, but it's fascinating.
james bobo fay
There's a picture, dude, there's a picture of a possible Neanderthal just taken like last week that's up on the internet.
Have you seen that?
joe rogan
No.
james bobo fay
Well, Dr. Meldrum, like he's impressed with it.
He doesn't authenticate it, but he...
joe rogan
They think there might still be Neanderthals?
james bobo fay
Oh, you haven't heard that?
joe rogan
No.
Who thinks there might be Neanderthals?
james bobo fay
A lot of scientists over in Russia, for one thing.
joe rogan
I don't see anything about his DNA. And China's...
james bobo fay
They're launching...
Well, they have Yeren over in China.
We're probably going to go over there.
We're probably going to go to Russia and China and check that stuff out on the show.
joe rogan
In China they have an animal?
james bobo fay
They set aside a whole national park for them recently.
joe rogan
What?
james bobo fay
Yeah, Yeren.
joe rogan
Y-R-E-N. And what is this thing, supposedly?
james bobo fay
It's like a Yeti.
joe rogan
A Yeti.
So it's in the Himalayas of Tibet.
james bobo fay
And they just range out.
joe rogan
And I remember some of the best photos were from the Himalayas of footprints.
james bobo fay
Oh, a shipping photo?
joe rogan
Yeah, and there was a scalp.
james bobo fay
Dude, I know that whole story inside and out.
joe rogan
Yeah?
Whatever happened with that scalp that they had found?
Did they ever figure out what that thing is?
james bobo fay
Well...
For the monks, Peter Burns stole some of this stuff.
He's still alive up in Oregon.
He's about 85, 86. He was on those original expeditions in the 50s.
He's still involved in Bigfoot research.
But there's two stories, and I'm not sure how they crossed, but they replaced the stuff that was out that people could look at with goat skins and just sewed it like the Yeti.
But they actually kept the Yeti scalp in like a sacred box.
And the other story is that, you know who was a big part of this was Jimmy, God, you know, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Jimmy Stewart.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
unidentified
It's Bigfoot.
joe rogan
Jimmy Stewart's looking for Sasquatch.
brian redban
Hi, I'm out here looking for Sasquatch.
james bobo fay
He was a HUAC snitch, by the way.
joe rogan
He was a what?
james bobo fay
HUAC snitch.
joe rogan
What is that?
james bobo fay
The House of American Affairs Committee, when they blackballed all the people in Hollywood.
joe rogan
People for being communists?
james bobo fay
Yeah, he was the guy that ratted out all the guys in Hollywood.
Anyways...
joe rogan
Whoa, what a dick.
james bobo fay
He was a full-on, like, anti-evolutionary, like...
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Creationist.
joe rogan
Oh.
brian redban
That's because I'm a Neanderthal.
james bobo fay
And he...
joe rogan
God made Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
There's a book coming out about detailing how he was buying these remains that would come out of Asia.
Like, he bought, like, Trigonopithecus stuff, he bought other stuff, and he'd have it destroyed.
Yeah.
joe rogan
What?
Jimmy Stewart did that?
james bobo fay
Yeah, and part of the theory...
You know the Minnesota Iceman?
You know the Minnesota Iceman?
That block of ice?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The guy...
james bobo fay
Like, that's...
joe rogan
That was what they called him, the name.
james bobo fay
Well, Minnesota Iceman is the most common...
Hey, punch that up.
Can you punch that up?
Minnesota Iceman?
There's a lot...
Like, they think that was a...
Well, the stories either got shot in Vietnam or in Russia.
It got shot above the eye.
And this guy's writing a book.
I know the guy that's writing the book.
He's, you know, a professor guy.
And supposedly there's a lot of evidence.
Jimmy Stewart bought that and had it destroyed.
joe rogan
What?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I'm thinking of the wrong thing.
I'm thinking of the, it wasn't Minnesota.
I'm thinking of the guy they found in the glacier, the ancient man.
james bobo fay
Oh, yeah, yeah, that guy.
Yeah, he was a straight person.
joe rogan
Yeah.
This Minnesota Iceman was what?
james bobo fay
It's all like arm over its head.
It's frozen in a block of ice and they showed it all over and then...
brian redban
It says it's a hoax.
james bobo fay
So?
brian redban
Wow, that probably is pretty important.
unidentified
What is that, Wikipedia?
joe rogan
Usually when they say it's a hoax.
james bobo fay
Well, who said it's a hoax?
joe rogan
My dad.
james bobo fay
Wikipedia, yeah.
joe rogan
Is it a hoax?
Wow, it's just saying it's a hoax.
All they're saying it's a hoax, period.
brian redban
History.
unidentified
What does it say about the hoax?
james bobo fay
Look up the photos.
Bernard Huberman, who was like one of the top anthropologists in the world, studied that thing pretty close and he staked his whole reputation that it was real.
joe rogan
And what did he say it was?
james bobo fay
Thought it was a Neanderthal that had been shot, like a recently shot Neanderthal.
joe rogan
That's it right there?
james bobo fay
That's the face, yeah.
Because the power went out one time, and the ice started melting that it was in, and they said a distinct rotten meat odor smell was coming out, like rotten flesh.
joe rogan
Now, what do they think, if they think that the end of turtles are real?
james bobo fay
Oh, they just went away from it.
There's the body.
brian redban
It's...
joe rogan
That looks like a five-year-old drew it.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Is that a drawing?
brian redban
Yeah, that's totally a drawing, because look at that.
james bobo fay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's just showing you what it looks like.
It had exaggerated-sized hands and feet.
joe rogan
Where's their photos?
Is there a photo?
james bobo fay
Yeah, there's photos.
There's video of it and everything.
I don't know where that's all at.
joe rogan
And Jimmy Stewart had that destroyed, too?
james bobo fay
Well, I don't know.
I mean, that's just...
This guy, that's what people he's talked to, that's what he's heard.
joe rogan
Well, if we learned anything on this show, it's fuck Jimmy Stewart.
I think we learned that.
brian redban
Why?
joe rogan
Easy.
I just strongly believe in Jesus and don't believe in Bigfoot.
I don't know, man.
james bobo fay
He thought it would shake people's faith in God if evolution was proven true.
joe rogan
What a silly bitch.
brian redban
It's all fox magic, Joe.
joe rogan
Well, you know, how does that shake your belief in God?
Even if the Bible was 100% bullshit, it shouldn't shake your belief.
It's possible that there could be a God, but it's also possible that people are full of shit, and that story sucks.
Right?
That's like simple mathematics.
james bobo fay
Right.
joe rogan
And that, if we apply to Bigfoot...
It means that there's a certain percentage of those Bigfoot stories that are bullshit.
But I hope they're real.
I hope there's a percentage that are real and that maybe soon we get something.
Give me something.
A fucking photo, a dead one.
What about the DNA? If it comes out that it's true, yeah.
I mean, if it's peer-reviewed study, it proves conclusive.
brian redban
That's the thing that's driving me crazy.
It should be out by now at least.
It doesn't take that long to tell you what...
james bobo fay
It is, yes.
Well, it is when it's a new species and there's no type specimen.
If they had a type specimen, it would be easy.
But when you have a type specimen for deer or bear, it's real quick.
So when there's no type specimen, it takes a long time to do the DNA? And when there's all kinds of markers showing homo sapien.
And people have this misperception of what DNA and how DNA works due to those TV shows.
joe rogan
CSI and shit.
james bobo fay
Yeah, I mean, that stuff.
If you're talking about a cryptid species, that has nothing to do with it.
Those guys, you got three billion genomes in your DNA strand, and when they go to court, they just have to line up like seven, seven of those, like certain markers to get a conviction, right?
So, I mean, it's like...
joe rogan
Wow.
james bobo fay
When you're talking about three billion, and there had been...
joe rogan
I thought there was like 30. If you watch those shows, it looks like there's like...
james bobo fay
Well, they can line up as many as they want.
joe rogan
It's like 30 of them.
james bobo fay
Oh, right, right.
joe rogan
That's what it looks like.
james bobo fay
But they don't line up all three billion.
They go to certain sections and line up those sections.
And what happened was with the guy, the sample, he brought in the shooter.
So there'd be strands with like 2.9 billion in there, but a gap right here and a gap right here.
But you could line up other DNA samples, and those gaps would fill in, and they'd all line up.
But if none of them were complete, then he brought in the first complete one.
joe rogan
So now they just have to go through the peer review process and other people have to find the same conclusions that this woman has found.
james bobo fay
Yeah, it's already happening.
joe rogan
What is the criticism about this woman again?
You never really got to that?
james bobo fay
I've never met her in person.
I don't want a bad...
And people that I really respect and know that are smart people, professionals, are working with her and really like her.
And I've talked to other people, they're like, dude, she's shady.
joe rogan
Yeah.
So who knows?
james bobo fay
Right.
I don't know.
I don't know her personally.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Now, when does the show, when does season two, or season three?
james bobo fay
Season two's over.
Season three, they just said sometime in the fall.
Probably like Sweeps Week or something.
joe rogan
Because they're still airing episodes.
They'll still show them in repeats, right?
james bobo fay
I don't know.
joe rogan
Popular show.
Yeah, it's real popular.
james bobo fay
It's like the second most popular in Animal Planet history.
joe rogan
Didn't South Park parody you guys?
james bobo fay
Yeah, fuckers.
unidentified
Did they catch you?
james bobo fay
Dude, because we were all laughing, like waiting for it.
We all love South Park.
And the producers that we're gonna show, like comedians, stand-up comedians and stuff, and they love this show, and there's Moneymaker.
unidentified
Fuck.
james bobo fay
So what we thought it was going to be was, because we saw some little clip that came out way earlier.
Someone got a hold of somehow.
It showed them dressed up like us, wearing backpacks and stuff.
joe rogan
Right.
james bobo fay
And we thought for sure they were going to have Cartman play Moneymaker.
Because Cartman and Moneymaker are like the same guy.
unidentified
Jimmy Stewart's assholes.
james bobo fay
That's pretty good.
unidentified
Jimmy Stewart's assholes.
james bobo fay
So then they made Clip and Matt like normal, and then they made me this fucking short retard that is all scared.
I'm like this little short retard that is scared.
I can't talk.
I admit I don't talk all that great.
joe rogan
So they got you the worst?
james bobo fay
Oh, dude, I'm the only guy.
They slaughtered me.
Have you seen the episode?
joe rogan
No, I haven't seen it.
Brian told me it's awesome.
brian redban
Try to find a clip of it.
james bobo fay
I get Cartman high.
joe rogan
Dude, we talked about the show on the podcast so many times that people will yell it during comedy shows.
Have you gone squatching yet?
james bobo fay
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah, people thought, you know, that's a very squatchy area.
Have you seen the memes of you?
What's a meme?
A meme is like an internet photo that they add words to, and then it gets passed on so many times.
You know, like, a meme would be, there's a photo of you.
Or, like, here's a perfect example.
You know Giorgio Suclos from Ancient Aliens?
There's a photo of him that says, I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.
It's like, it's always one of those type things.
There's only one answer, aliens.
And it would be the same photo, but with different texts, but there's awesome ones of you, where it's like, that's a tree, this seems squatchy.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
See if you can find them, Brian.
They're in the Rogan board thread for this.
james bobo fay
I was throwing Squatchy.
joe rogan
Pull one up if you can.
james bobo fay
I would say Squatchy a lot, but I started saying it even more when I found out it was a drinking game on college campuses.
Kids watch our show, and every time we say Squatch or Squatchy, they drink.
joe rogan
You're going to kill somebody.
james bobo fay
I'd say it like four times.
You can tell this place is Squatchy.
You look around, a Squatch could cave through here and Squatch it over there.
joe rogan
Just to try to give him alcohol poisoning.
It was a drinking game for the UFC. If someone got rocked, I said, he's rocked!
And people would drink.
There's a bunch of other things, too.
So if you're playing along at home, oh, I'm looking at this photo, this monkey, this fake thing.
It looks fake as fuck, dude.
james bobo fay
Oh, you know, my cousin Donnie says he knows you.
He's the little Italian guy with a thick Boston accent that worked at the Subaru dealer in Santa Monica.
Do you remember him?
joe rogan
A Subaru dealer in Santa Monica.
Did I look at a car there or something?
james bobo fay
Yeah, he sold...
joe rogan
Never sold me a Subaru.
james bobo fay
I don't know.
He said he knew...
Or maybe it was from the Playboy.
Did you ever go to the Playboy Mansion?
joe rogan
Once I hosted the Marijuana Policy Project thing there.
So I was there once.
There was a Marijuana Policy Project at a thing at the mansion.
It was...
It's like they rent it out, you know?
So it's like everybody's like, wow.
james bobo fay
Oh, right.
joe rogan
And they hire a couple chicks to go around.
james bobo fay
They're like strippers that aren't even playmates, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a sausage factory.
It's all dude.
james bobo fay
It's like, where's the girls?
I know he's been up there.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
Find any of the memes of him?
brian redban
Check this out.
unidentified
This is how they portray it.
Bigfoot field researchers are going to say...
Would you stop scaring everyone with your dumbass myth?
People thought Atlantis was a myth, Cal.
james bobo fay
But I was just there.
unidentified
I've explored the depths of Atlantis and now I'm about to prove a new species exists.
I'm a little James Cameron.
james bobo fay
These people aren't gonna prove anything!
unidentified
To believe any of this, you either have to be a liar or stupid.
These are professional people who go around tracking Sasquatches, Cal.
They aren't liars and they aren't stupid.
Look at its trajectory.
It heads directly to the right.
It can't be human.
james bobo fay
It's too low to the ground.
What do you think, Bobo?
unidentified
Bobo thinks scary.
I'm thinking a Sasquatch.
james bobo fay
It's not big enough to be a Squatch.
So it's a baby Squatch?
That's what I'm thinking.
unidentified
I've already done my research, boys.
james bobo fay
What you're looking at there is a jupacabra.
unidentified
Jupacabra?
It's like a Sasquatch, only more elusive, more ferocious, and a little more greedy.
james bobo fay
Oh, jupacabra, that sounds scary!
unidentified
That's you!
Makes total sense.
If we rule out a human and a baby Sasquatch, jupacabra's all we really have left!
Well, I guess that's it.
You're gonna have to allow only me into the Easter egg hunt, sir.
I'm the only one qualified.
brian redban
That must be awesome to have that.
I mean, to me, as a South Park fan, I would faint if that happened.
joe rogan
Yeah, man, they fucking parodied your show.
unidentified
That's huge.
james bobo fay
Dude, they'd be a fucking tard.
joe rogan
It's not really you, though.
brian redban
It's just a character.
joe rogan
The real you has represented the Bigfoot community quite well today.
james bobo fay
Yeah, right.
joe rogan
Thanks very much for the gone squatching hat.
This is pretty fucking dope.
brian redban
If they did me, I would be a gay cat.
joe rogan
That's what you'd be.
brian redban
I'd be like, hi guys.
joe rogan
Probably, right?
unidentified
That's a stage life event.
james bobo fay
Well, you did get to the good part, though, because I got Cartman high.
joe rogan
You got Cartman high?
Yeah.
james bobo fay
I turned Cartman into a Jew.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow.
I'll check out the rest of it.
brian redban
Yeah, go on South Park Studios.
They have all the episodes, and the episode is called Jupacabra, or whatever.
joe rogan
Jupacabra?
unidentified
Jupac.
brian redban
I'll just spell it out.
unidentified
J-E-W-P-A-C-C-A-B-R-A. It's season 16. Jupacabra.
james bobo fay
Yeah, like a chupacabra, but a Jew.
joe rogan
That's what I was figuring it was.
brian redban
God bless South Park.
joe rogan
They're the best, man.
No one's consistently put out funny shit like those guys have.
james bobo fay
Why the heck the fuck they hammered me?
joe rogan
Well, dude, look at your fucking on a Bigfoot show.
james bobo fay
So's Moneymakers.
unidentified
All of them.
joe rogan
They all looked retarded.
Look, that's what South Park does.
They went after you a little harder, but come on, man.
james bobo fay
I know it should be an honor and all that.
joe rogan
It's an honor and you're on a Bigfoot show, man.
james bobo fay
That should be highly respected, not made fun of.
joe rogan
When you get something solid, man, then the tide will change.
You're going to come in.
They're going to have a fucking float for you in downtown LA. There'll be a big parade.
james bobo fay
You're right.
joe rogan
Look, we found a real Bigfoot and you and Moneymaker and the...
And they could put all this stuff back in of Renee saying, I think it's Squatch.
Because now we know Squatch is...
james bobo fay
She doesn't always do that.
She did that when we were in Oregon.
joe rogan
They should have left that shit in.
Authenticity.
james bobo fay
Yeah, she says.
She still says.
She goes, I don't know what it was.
joe rogan
We've got to get her on the podcast, too.
I've got to find out what makes her tick.
Is that bad?
james bobo fay
Dude, I think you guys have a good time.
joe rogan
What's wrong?
unidentified
Nothing.
joe rogan
Sounds like she's poison.
brian redban
You're going to get some, Joe.
james bobo fay
No, you're not.
unidentified
No.
Oh, she's one of those.
joe rogan
I see what you're saying.
I would have a good time if I was a woman.
She's scissoring.
Good.
brian redban
She would have a good time with me.
james bobo fay
Mr. Garrison would have a shot.
joe rogan
Well, even if she wasn't gay, hanging out with you guys in the woods chasing Bigfoot would turn you gay.
That would be the first thing to go lesbian.
james bobo fay
I gotta explain the tooth.
This fucking tweaker.
joe rogan
Lost a tooth?
james bobo fay
This tweaker lady came right up to me with like four little rugrats, like all lice-infested kids.
I think it was the first of the month or something, you know, they just got their checks.
She was at like the canned food store, you know, Dented Canned Store, like cheap stuff, whatever.
I was walking by and, oh, we're big fans, we're big fans.
She'd hand me this, like, just this, looked like the Simpsons Evil baby, like unibrow and all that.
joe rogan
Uh-huh.
james bobo fay
Like, frowning.
And she hands it to this, like, kid, like, two or three years old.
She's all, take a picture of all your kids.
And, like, I'm like, hey.
And I'm like, hey, buddy.
unidentified
Right.
james bobo fay
Smile for the camera.
And he just looked at me.
And I'm like, smile.
And he just looks at me.
Wham!
And head-butted me and knocked my tooth out.
joe rogan
A baby head-butted you and knocked your tooth out?
unidentified
Yeah.
james bobo fay
Or like a toddler.
unidentified
God.
joe rogan
Whoa.
Dude, I find that harder to believe than Bigfoot.
james bobo fay
Well, it was already...
I got hit in the face with a surfboard there.
joe rogan
Oh, it was already loose?
james bobo fay
Well, it had been capped.
I went to Tijuana, dude.
joe rogan
You got capped in Tijuana?
james bobo fay
I got a bunch of dental work in Tijuana.
joe rogan
Really?
james bobo fay
Dude, my dentist was off the hook.
He's like this crazy old...
He wasn't crazy.
He's kind of like the world's most interesting man, but he looked like a short, fat Mexican Roy Orbison.
joe rogan
A short fat bag to get Roy Orbison.
james bobo fay
Like the thick glasses.
He's funny.
He just had a liver transplant like six months earlier.
I was his first.
Oh, dude.
You got a minute?
joe rogan
Yeah.
james bobo fay
So I was going to this legitimate clinic down in TJ that people go to, the one next to the police station.
Because they wanted like 20 grand.
I'd been hit in the face with crab blocks and surfboards and pool cues, stuff like that.
So I had all these cracked teeth and stuff so I was going to get them all fixed.
They wanted like 23 grand in the States.
So I'm going down there, I stop and see my buddy, he's a Mexican dude, he's all, oh, my fiance's uncle is a dentist down there.
He's got like, yeah, it's a cheaper clinic, you know, it's just like, like there's, there wasn't even electricity when I went there like the first day, you know.
He hadn't been practicing because he got a liver transplant, he used to be a partier.
And we go down there and like, we're doing all this work and after the second day I'm in the chair for like eight hours.
He's like, we gotta go look at pretty girls.
He's a total horndog.
He's like almost 70. He's a little short chubby guy.
He's hitting on every girl.
He's pretty...
He's cool.
He's funny.
He's interesting and whatever.
And he's hitting on all these chicks.
He's like...
So he takes us to this giant strip bar called like the Hong Kong Cafe or something.
You ever heard of that?
unidentified
No.
james bobo fay
It's like three stories.
It's like one of those...
It's like Grindhouse or something you think when you want.
It's like a full narco place.
Like, you know, full...
joe rogan
In Tijuana.
james bobo fay
Yeah.
And it's three stories.
It's got like big hot tubs.
joe rogan
No.
Are you wearing a gone squatching hat while you're wandering around this place?
james bobo fay
I don't know what I was wearing, but I'm just probably dressed like I am now.
joe rogan
I want to picture you in a Gone Squatch and hat, if you don't mind.
james bobo fay
All right.
And the dude, he disappears.
I didn't know.
Apparently, every girl in there is like a hooker, and you can just get a girl and whatever.
Well, he splits, and we had a plan.
If anyone got separated for a reason, we were going to meet at the truck back at 9 o'clock or whatever it was, or 8.30.
We'd meet at the truck.
It was a couple blocks away.
Well, you know, it's 8.30.
We don't see the guy anywhere at the place.
We leave.
We go back to the truck.
He's not there.
Then we wait for, like, two hours.
My buddy's, like, going to school to be a nurse.
So he had to get back in class, like, 7.00.
Dude, I can't wait for the guy all night.
Fuck, I don't know where he is.
You know, he's Mexican.
He speaks Spanish.
You know, he's probably all right.
But he just had a liver transplant six months earlier.
And he had a couple margaritas.
So, like, we weren't sure.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ!
james bobo fay
And so we go back to the States, because we were just going to cross the border every day, and he never comes home, and the family thinks I kidnapped him, that I'm part of a kidnapping, because they looked at me and thought, like, sketchy.
So I'm getting accused of kidnapping this old man.
joe rogan
So he never came home?
james bobo fay
No.
So, we're like, fuck.
You know, like, I was starting to get nervous.
You know, they're like, what'd you do with him?
Like, accusing me, like, you know, over the phone.
joe rogan
Oh, wow.
james bobo fay
And, um, I was like, I was saying, well, I just got, and I was covering for the guy, you know, going like, well, I don't want to say the guy's split with a hooker, you know?
unidentified
Right.
james bobo fay
You know, his wife's all upset, and I'm just like, I don't know.
We were in a Mexican restaurant.
I wanted a sombrero.
I was drinking.
I had all those pain pills that day.
I was getting shots and stuff.
I said I was kind of groggy.
I was walking around looking for a sombrero.
I didn't even know what restaurant it was.
I walked for four or five blocks.
Got lost.
So I totally covered for the guy.
And the next day, he shows up.
And the family's like, where were you?
I don't know what story he told them.
But I left him in a restaurant.
He said something like that, too, that was close enough.
So he was so stoked.
And at this point, I'm going, he's a cool guy to go party with, but he's not a very good dentist.
And at this point, he's all.
joe rogan
He's not a very good dentist.
james bobo fay
No.
Well, he's all right.
He wasn't terrible.
But so he goes, Bobo, I thank you so much.
I'll give you half off.
The rest of your dental work.
Because I was like, I'm not going to get any more dental work from this guy.
I'm like, half off?
Fuck yeah.
joe rogan
So you said, well, fuck it, as long as it's cheap.
james bobo fay
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
unidentified
What the fuck happened?
joe rogan
What is that noise, bro?
brian redban
My computer's going crazy.
joe rogan
What do you mean it's going crazy?
james bobo fay
Shitty music is that.
joe rogan
Yeah, what is that music?
That's the universe telling us to wrap this podcast up.
james bobo fay
Uh-huh.
joe rogan
Let's just wrap this podcast up.
Mexican dude sounds badass.
What the fuck are you playing?
Is that like fake Rage Against the Machine?
Turn the volume down, bro.
Thank you very much.
