Speaker 1: Welcome back.
00:00:00
Speaker 2: We're talking about Bigfoot just for a laugh. This morning, there's been a sootting near a forest in Connecticut. This is in the United States. Here's the guy who spotted it.
00:00:08
Speaker 1: So I hit the brakes right about here, and this thing just stepped into the road, two big steps and.
00:00:14
Speaker 2: It was gone on the other side.
00:00:16
Speaker 3: And I just sat there shaking.
00:00:19
Speaker 1: Arms down to its knees like brown matted, wet fur, no neck really like head up to a cone about It had to be eight feet tall.
00:00:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the craziest experience of my life.
00:00:32
Speaker 2: Bigfoot sasquatch is a big deal in the ueas so the new show on Discovery dedicated to proving that the species exists.
00:00:39
Speaker 1: Just in the time we've been here. Hear that. Yeah, we've had action on every night we've gone out.
00:00:46
Speaker 3: Is this where the SaaS quatches are or you know, is this just where the people happen to be where they have the incidents. We're also going to have some BFRO people positioned as strategic spots to be able to listen for sounds and help direct us into what made be a sasquatch lurking around. I saw red eye glow and we also heard a noise and that was over in this direction. It sounds to me like when a young squatch sounded like an almost high pitch metallic.
00:01:10
Speaker 1: Mom Oh, what is that?
00:01:12
Speaker 3: I have no doubt they were out here tonight.
00:01:16
Speaker 2: That guy was met Moneymaker, founder of the Big Foot Field Researchers organization. He's well, that's live this morning. Good morning, good morning. Uh are you guys joking on? Is this real? Oh?
00:01:28
Speaker 1: This is very serious. It's very misunderstood because even kind of as the way you presented it as this singular kind of monster figure, that's not what this is about. This is about a species that was thought to be extinct called gigantopificates, and there are bones of these creatures. They were thought to be extinct a long time ago. It's not one singular monster folklore figure, although that's the way very often it's presented in kind of a pandering way. But no, it's a real thing. Thousands of people across the United States in Canada have seen these creatures, and not terribly long ago, in Connecticut someone saw one in one of the most wooded parts of that state.
00:02:11
Speaker 2: But how do you know it's a sasquatch, not a man in a suit, well.
00:02:15
Speaker 1: Because they stand about eight feet tall, so you'd have to be an eight foot tall man in a costume. And I think people kind of know the difference.
00:02:25
Speaker 2: High hills.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen somebody standing eight feet tall in I eels? Ryan, I don't think so. So what did you call them?
00:02:36
Speaker 2: Gigantic?
00:02:38
Speaker 1: Gigantopithecus, it's a Latin word meaning giant ape. They were the largest apes that ever lived. There are teeth and jawbones that have been found that basically in East Asia, and this has been known for a long time. It wasn't until the sixties and seventies that some anthropologists kind of connected these sightings and descriptions to the bones of this species that was thought to be expect.
00:03:06
Speaker 2: Fascinating. Thank you very much, met for
