00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:01.690
Good morning, you two. How are you doing today? How
2
00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:02.029
are you?
3
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:29.519
Doing great, Errol. How you doing?
4
00:00:29.609 --> 00:00:30.300
Doing really good.
5
00:00:30.589 --> 00:00:33.929
The two of you. Talk about rocking my childhood memories.
6
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:37.490
I mean, all the way back, guys. I mean, and
7
00:00:37.509 --> 00:00:40.469
then to go and watch this documentary. I studied it
8
00:00:40.509 --> 00:00:42.969
like I was a science professor, so thank you very
9
00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:44.090
much for a great evening.
10
00:00:44.109 --> 00:00:47.649
Yeah, thank you.
11
00:00:48.590 --> 00:00:50.469
You know, one of the things, you know, being down
12
00:00:50.509 --> 00:00:51.950
here in the south compared to, I grew up in
13
00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:54.250
the state of Montana where Bigfoot was like, it was
14
00:00:54.289 --> 00:00:57.009
more than a fantasy. We truly believe that Bigfoot existed
15
00:00:57.049 --> 00:00:58.789
up there. And then I come down here to the
16
00:00:58.829 --> 00:01:01.880
south and the old skunk ape is down here as well.
17
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.200
And what do they call it? The wood booger down here, too.
18
00:01:04.219 --> 00:01:06.200
And I'm going, it doesn't even have a Sasquatch name.
19
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.109
What are you giving it names like that for?
20
00:01:10.310 --> 00:01:14.170
The wood booger. That's great. Now, Clint lives in Montana now. So, Clint,
21
00:01:14.629 --> 00:01:16.750
what's the deal with Bigfoot in Montana?
22
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.120
Well, I mean, I tell people that I'm Roger's son
23
00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:26.500
and stuff, and they go, well, I've seen one, and
24
00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:29.500
I hear stories all the time. I just was getting
25
00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:32.560
my van worked on, and a guy goes, me and
26
00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:36.239
my dad were driving down the road up by Glacier Park,
27
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.340
and we seen a creature jump off of a big
28
00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:43.700
old icy cliff and walk right in front of us,
29
00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:48.329
and I'm like going, this guy, he's seen something. So,
30
00:01:48.609 --> 00:01:52.450
I mean, there's There's several sightings that I hear about
31
00:01:52.469 --> 00:01:54.090
from people here in Montana.
32
00:01:54.609 --> 00:01:56.239
Well, one of the things that you really bring up,
33
00:01:56.269 --> 00:01:58.209
and I love the fact that in the documentary, the
34
00:01:58.250 --> 00:02:00.870
two of you really put up the he said, she
35
00:02:00.909 --> 00:02:02.890
said kind of appeal to this story. You know, I
36
00:02:02.950 --> 00:02:04.269
believe it, I don't believe it. You know what I
37
00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:06.670
mean by that? And it really did make me get
38
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:09.750
engaged in the conversation in the way that I had
39
00:02:09.789 --> 00:02:11.500
to make up my mind at where I am in
40
00:02:11.569 --> 00:02:12.030
age now.
41
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.759
What do you believe, dude? And I owe all of
42
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:15.719
that to you guys.
43
00:02:17.659 --> 00:02:18.699
Where'd you land, Arrow?
44
00:02:19.490 --> 00:02:23.370
Where I landed at was in 1967, and yet I'm
45
00:02:23.389 --> 00:02:26.349
still here in 2026. And the thing about it is, though,
46
00:02:26.409 --> 00:02:28.530
is that I feel like, I do believe in Bigfoot,
47
00:02:28.590 --> 00:02:30.569
and I do believe that there is one here at
48
00:02:31.340 --> 00:02:33.340
the Aurori Mountains here in North Carolina.
49
00:02:34.969 --> 00:02:37.159
Yeah, I think, and with our film, you know, we're
50
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.639
really dialed in on telling the story of the Patterson-Gimlin
51
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.479
film and of Clint's father, Roger Patterson, and Bob Gimlin,
52
00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:46.280
who was kind of his, you know, partner in crime.
53
00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:49.759
And there are other friends who were these amazing characters.
54
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.159
They were these cowboys from Yakima, Washington, kind of the
55
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:54.830
last of their kind. And that's one of the things
56
00:02:54.849 --> 00:02:57.270
that really attracted me to this story. So we go
57
00:02:57.310 --> 00:03:00.530
down that path, how that famous film was made, the aftermath,
58
00:03:00.569 --> 00:03:03.159
all the money that was made and the lost friendships
59
00:03:03.219 --> 00:03:06.879
and betrayal and reunions. Um, and so that was really,
60
00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:08.900
you know, for me, it's just like that wild ride
61
00:03:08.979 --> 00:03:11.639
and this great story. Um, and then as it relates
62
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.689
to Bigfoot, um, whether the Patterson Gimlin film is of
63
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.629
a real Bigfoot or not really doesn't have any, any
64
00:03:17.689 --> 00:03:20.310
sort of bearing on whether Bigfoot is real or not. Um,
65
00:03:20.610 --> 00:03:23.389
you know, it, it, it clearly is the best evidence
66
00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:26.030
for many people and that's what they're out there looking for.
67
00:03:26.550 --> 00:03:29.069
But if it turns out that, you know, people can
68
00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:30.879
take that off the table and say, well, that's not
69
00:03:30.939 --> 00:03:33.099
actually real Bigfoot. That's actually a good thing for people
70
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.800
that are serious about trying to, prove Bigfoot's existence or not.
71
00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:38.379
Well I got I got to tell you something there
72
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.180
Mark in the in the way that even here in
73
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.159
Charlotte when I have that foul smell in the forest
74
00:03:43.180 --> 00:03:45.729
that I live in you bet inside my heart I
75
00:03:45.770 --> 00:03:48.409
think that I'm being visited by that Bigfoot because there
76
00:03:48.629 --> 00:03:51.030
is a smell and and and even in your movie
77
00:03:51.050 --> 00:03:53.050
you even talk about that as well and I'm going
78
00:03:53.129 --> 00:03:55.030
I knew that I knew that because that's that's what
79
00:03:55.069 --> 00:03:56.919
we grew up with in Montana.
80
00:03:57.900 --> 00:03:59.639
Yeah Clint do you remember your dad talking about the.
81
00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:03.370
Smell Oh, yeah, he would say that it smelled like
82
00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:06.840
a dog that was wet that rolled in something dead.
83
00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:11.319
And I was like, okay, I've actually had that smell
84
00:04:11.379 --> 00:04:15.319
before in real with our dogs because they like to
85
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.560
roll in stuff that's dead. And I went, wow, that's
86
00:04:17.689 --> 00:04:22.550
a pretty raunchy smell. So, yeah, he would describe it
87
00:04:22.629 --> 00:04:26.089
to me. And, I mean, I never did smell it
88
00:04:26.829 --> 00:04:29.389
in the forest, but I smelt it on my dogs. Yeah.
89
00:04:31.149 --> 00:04:33.720
You know, we had the movie inside theaters. It was
90
00:04:33.779 --> 00:04:37.060
in selected movies. And then we had the National Enquirer.
91
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:41.180
So you have no idea what this documentary, Capture Bigfoot,
92
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.560
is all about to me. Because it gives me that
93
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.329
opportunity to revisit something that I still believe that it's unanswered.
94
00:04:47.569 --> 00:04:49.129
In fact, where else would I have learned that it
95
00:04:49.170 --> 00:04:51.810
was named Patty and it could have been Kathy? I mean,
96
00:04:52.250 --> 00:04:53.810
I learned it on your documentary.
97
00:04:55.290 --> 00:04:56.430
Yeah, you know, the.
98
00:04:56.230 --> 00:04:58.569
Naming of that, I think it got named Patty, which
99
00:04:58.589 --> 00:05:02.589
this was, you know, a female creature on film. And
100
00:05:02.610 --> 00:05:06.180
it was named Patty pretty quickly after Roger Patterson. But the,
101
00:05:06.189 --> 00:05:10.220
you know, unfortunate coincidence is that Clint's mom, Roger's wife,
102
00:05:10.259 --> 00:05:12.480
was named Patricia, also called Patty sometimes.
103
00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:12.730
And so.
104
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.310
She had to live with that name of that Bigfoot
105
00:05:15.329 --> 00:05:17.470
being named Patty, and she's still dealing with it today.
106
00:05:17.509 --> 00:05:19.750
We talked to her not that long ago, and she
107
00:05:19.790 --> 00:05:21.569
was just kind of under her breath, like, oh, I can't,
108
00:05:21.610 --> 00:05:23.870
you know, the fact that that is Patty. We asked
109
00:05:23.910 --> 00:05:25.540
her what she would have called it, and I think
110
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.040
she said she would have called it Go Away.
111
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.519
Oh, there's more Bigfoot talk on the way with Clint
112
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:32.939
Patterson and Mark Evan.
113
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:33.439
Don't move.
114
00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:36.939
Hey, thanks for coming back to my conversation with Clint
115
00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:42.569
Patterson and Mark Evan. We're talking about capturing Bigfoot, the documentary. Clint,
116
00:05:42.589 --> 00:05:44.449
I'm so jealous of you in the way that you
117
00:05:44.490 --> 00:05:46.069
and your dad got to go out there and hunt
118
00:05:46.110 --> 00:05:48.069
for the Bigfoot because I always wanted my dad to
119
00:05:48.110 --> 00:05:50.230
do that with me. So I always had the imaginary
120
00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:52.040
friends that would go out with me into the forest.
121
00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:54.220
So I'm really jealous of you. And then to watch
122
00:05:54.259 --> 00:05:56.379
you as a child inside of this just really is
123
00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:57.240
just so amazing.
124
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.980
Yeah, he took me out of school and we took off, uh,
125
00:06:02.589 --> 00:06:04.149
In a Volkswagen van.
126
00:06:04.189 --> 00:06:04.930
Yes, you did.
127
00:06:04.970 --> 00:06:08.240
With two horses in the back of the van. And
128
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.560
we were out there to capture one or they'll just
129
00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:17.000
see something. And it was such an adventure that I
130
00:06:17.019 --> 00:06:20.060
got to say, I really, at the time, I didn't
131
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.790
care about Bigfoot. I just wanted to be around my dad.
132
00:06:22.810 --> 00:06:23.189
That's right.
133
00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:28.610
And I didn't, yeah, he was my teacher, my hero.
134
00:06:29.149 --> 00:06:31.089
And I just loved being around him.
135
00:06:31.649 --> 00:06:33.430
Oh, my God. And that's very evident.
136
00:06:33.529 --> 00:06:36.230
And, boy, you had some balls to put this on
137
00:06:36.269 --> 00:06:38.970
there of how real you felt when you lost your father.
138
00:06:39.209 --> 00:06:41.259
Because all of a sudden, you know, I mean, oh,
139
00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:44.740
my God, I became so engaged in the storyline when
140
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.420
I got to see your real emotions.
141
00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:50.319
Yeah, it was the worst day of my life when
142
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.509
I seen my grandmother sleeping on our couch and I go,
143
00:06:54.529 --> 00:06:57.009
what in the heck is she doing here? And when
144
00:06:57.029 --> 00:07:00.009
they told me that, I didn't believe it. I really,
145
00:07:00.029 --> 00:07:02.970
I refused to believe it. Wow.
146
00:07:03.430 --> 00:07:06.339
I love the way, Mark, that you start the documentary
147
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.879
off in the way that everything changes. Because, you know,
148
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.420
as somebody who thinks they know everything about Bigfoot.
149
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.500
No, I don't. No, I don't. Now that I've seen this, no,
150
00:07:15.540 --> 00:07:15.779
I don't.
151
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.230
But you really do set us up as viewers to
152
00:07:18.290 --> 00:07:20.750
kind of give us a better line to walk on.
153
00:07:22.689 --> 00:07:25.389
Yeah, and that's definitely, you know, our hope as storytellers
154
00:07:25.629 --> 00:07:27.490
and something that I wanted to do. I've got a
155
00:07:27.529 --> 00:07:31.519
great producer, Tamir Ardone, that we're really great creative collaborators.
156
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.300
And then we eventually brought on this extremely talented editor
157
00:07:35.310 --> 00:07:39.019
named Michelle Witten who helped craft that story. And, you know,
158
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.319
we certainly could have made something that was more of
159
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.540
this like salacious one-sided here's, here's this one take on, on,
160
00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:46.720
you know, whatever it is we want to say, but
161
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.730
we did want to have a more nuanced and balanced
162
00:07:48.769 --> 00:07:51.930
and layered approach to it, which is more exciting storytelling
163
00:07:51.949 --> 00:07:53.790
for me. And I think it makes for a better film, better.
164
00:07:53.629 --> 00:07:54.410
Experience for the viewer.
165
00:07:54.870 --> 00:07:57.290
Well, Clint, I truly believe that you and your father
166
00:07:57.329 --> 00:07:59.709
were rock stars and you were just traveling from town
167
00:07:59.750 --> 00:08:01.699
to town to town because everybody wanted to see that.
168
00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:03.699
I mean, look what you did at that gymnasium. You
169
00:08:03.779 --> 00:08:05.980
sold three nights in a row, three shows in a row,
170
00:08:06.019 --> 00:08:07.019
completely sold out.
171
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.939
Yes. I mean, that was a and at the end
172
00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:18.350
of the to hear the applauses. of people really got
173
00:08:18.389 --> 00:08:22.209
in my heart, man. I was like, wow, we're showing
174
00:08:22.250 --> 00:08:27.290
this and people are really liking what they're seeing. And,
175
00:08:27.629 --> 00:08:30.540
you know, We got to a lot of bigfooters that
176
00:08:30.579 --> 00:08:32.960
are out there that are saying some rotten things, but
177
00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:36.460
they can say whatever they want. I know what the
178
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:36.980
truth is.
179
00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:39.100
Well, you're absolutely right about that, and that's what's fun
180
00:08:39.139 --> 00:08:41.879
about this because it also gets it so into the
181
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:42.340
hearts of.
182
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.710
People going, I want to go find something like this.
183
00:08:45.009 --> 00:08:46.409
And as long as people are getting back in the
184
00:08:46.450 --> 00:08:48.649
forest again, I'm a happy camper because I'm a tree
185
00:08:48.690 --> 00:08:52.250
lover and people are losing their connection to the forest itself.
186
00:08:52.429 --> 00:08:54.129
Get a bigfoot put in there then.
187
00:08:55.710 --> 00:08:59.570
You bet. I mean, there's something to look for out
188
00:08:59.610 --> 00:09:04.379
there because too many people have seen something. And my gosh,
189
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.700
I hope someday somebody proves it and captures one.
190
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.159
All right. Now, here's the big question for you, Mark
191
00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:11.700
and Clint.
192
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.179
Is it now a UAP since UFOs are completely that
193
00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:17.250
one thing we used to do?
194
00:09:17.509 --> 00:09:20.350
But a UAP might explain something like this.
195
00:09:22.779 --> 00:09:25.929
Well, I have a tough time with that one. I'll
196
00:09:25.970 --> 00:09:27.070
just say anything is possible.
197
00:09:27.230 --> 00:09:28.690
Yeah.
198
00:09:29.950 --> 00:09:32.649
I'm going to say that, you know what? There's a
199
00:09:32.669 --> 00:09:36.149
lot of things that we don't know about and anything
200
00:09:36.250 --> 00:09:36.960
is possible.
201
00:09:37.529 --> 00:09:39.700
Oh, I just love what you guys are doing. Where
202
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.740
can people go to find out more about this project
203
00:09:42.779 --> 00:09:44.980
and everything that you're going to be diving into? Because
204
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.259
this is going to spark up a new storm of, oh,
205
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:47.919
is he real?
206
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.659
Is he not real? And what can we do to
207
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.299
find our own?
208
00:09:51.370 --> 00:09:54.899
Yeah, it certainly already is, but you can go to capturingbigfoot.com
209
00:09:54.940 --> 00:09:56.600
and that can tell you where to watch the film,
210
00:09:57.019 --> 00:09:58.549
which the best place to do that right now is
211
00:09:58.570 --> 00:10:00.919
you can buy it or rent it on Amazon. Prime Video,
212
00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:04.190
Capturing Bigfoot. But on our website, that also points you
213
00:10:04.210 --> 00:10:06.750
to all of our social media accounts, which we're releasing
214
00:10:06.870 --> 00:10:09.690
a lot of really fun content. There's podcasts, there's a
215
00:10:09.730 --> 00:10:12.980
companion film. A lot of behind-the-scenes clips and extra bonus
216
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.960
features that people are really enjoying as well.
217
00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:18.259
Yeah, and kudos to you, Clint, for making sure that
218
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.779
this did not really come across as a documentary like
219
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.820
we're used to seeing them. You really did put a
220
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.519
lot of emotion and some realism in this that made
221
00:10:25.570 --> 00:10:27.389
me feel like I was part of your circle on
222
00:10:27.429 --> 00:10:29.990
this hunt and, again, looking for better answers. So kudos
223
00:10:30.009 --> 00:10:31.730
to both you and Mark on this, Clint.
224
00:10:33.070 --> 00:10:35.889
Thank you. I mean, it took a lot of time
225
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:41.419
to gain my trust, and Mark and Tamara, the XYZ,
226
00:10:41.460 --> 00:10:46.370
they gained my trust, and boy, we ended up with
227
00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:48.889
something that's pretty extraordinary.
228
00:10:49.029 --> 00:10:49.389
I love it.
229
00:10:49.409 --> 00:10:51.570
Well, you guys be brilliant, and please come back to
230
00:10:51.590 --> 00:10:53.389
this show anytime in the future, okay?
231
00:10:54.389 --> 00:10:55.220
Thanks, Eric. I appreciate it.
1
00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:01.690
Good morning, you two. How are you doing today? How
2
00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:02.029
are you?
3
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:29.519
Doing great, Errol. How you doing?
4
00:00:29.609 --> 00:00:30.300
Doing really good.
5
00:00:30.589 --> 00:00:33.929
The two of you. Talk about rocking my childhood memories.
6
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:37.490
I mean, all the way back, guys. I mean, and
7
00:00:37.509 --> 00:00:40.469
then to go and watch this documentary. I studied it
8
00:00:40.509 --> 00:00:42.969
like I was a science professor, so thank you very
9
00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:44.090
much for a great evening.
10
00:00:44.109 --> 00:00:47.649
Yeah, thank you.
11
00:00:48.590 --> 00:00:50.469
You know, one of the things, you know, being down
12
00:00:50.509 --> 00:00:51.950
here in the south compared to, I grew up in
13
00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:54.250
the state of Montana where Bigfoot was like, it was
14
00:00:54.289 --> 00:00:57.009
more than a fantasy. We truly believe that Bigfoot existed
15
00:00:57.049 --> 00:00:58.789
up there. And then I come down here to the
16
00:00:58.829 --> 00:01:01.880
south and the old skunk ape is down here as well.
17
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.200
And what do they call it? The wood booger down here, too.
18
00:01:04.219 --> 00:01:06.200
And I'm going, it doesn't even have a Sasquatch name.
19
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.109
What are you giving it names like that for?
20
00:01:10.310 --> 00:01:14.170
The wood booger. That's great. Now, Clint lives in Montana now. So, Clint,
21
00:01:14.629 --> 00:01:16.750
what's the deal with Bigfoot in Montana?
22
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.120
Well, I mean, I tell people that I'm Roger's son
23
00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:26.500
and stuff, and they go, well, I've seen one, and
24
00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:29.500
I hear stories all the time. I just was getting
25
00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:32.560
my van worked on, and a guy goes, me and
26
00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:36.239
my dad were driving down the road up by Glacier Park,
27
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.340
and we seen a creature jump off of a big
28
00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:43.700
old icy cliff and walk right in front of us,
29
00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:48.329
and I'm like going, this guy, he's seen something. So,
30
00:01:48.609 --> 00:01:52.450
I mean, there's There's several sightings that I hear about
31
00:01:52.469 --> 00:01:54.090
from people here in Montana.
32
00:01:54.609 --> 00:01:56.239
Well, one of the things that you really bring up,
33
00:01:56.269 --> 00:01:58.209
and I love the fact that in the documentary, the
34
00:01:58.250 --> 00:02:00.870
two of you really put up the he said, she
35
00:02:00.909 --> 00:02:02.890
said kind of appeal to this story. You know, I
36
00:02:02.950 --> 00:02:04.269
believe it, I don't believe it. You know what I
37
00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:06.670
mean by that? And it really did make me get
38
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:09.750
engaged in the conversation in the way that I had
39
00:02:09.789 --> 00:02:11.500
to make up my mind at where I am in
40
00:02:11.569 --> 00:02:12.030
age now.
41
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.759
What do you believe, dude? And I owe all of
42
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:15.719
that to you guys.
43
00:02:17.659 --> 00:02:18.699
Where'd you land, Arrow?
44
00:02:19.490 --> 00:02:23.370
Where I landed at was in 1967, and yet I'm
45
00:02:23.389 --> 00:02:26.349
still here in 2026. And the thing about it is, though,
46
00:02:26.409 --> 00:02:28.530
is that I feel like, I do believe in Bigfoot,
47
00:02:28.590 --> 00:02:30.569
and I do believe that there is one here at
48
00:02:31.340 --> 00:02:33.340
the Aurori Mountains here in North Carolina.
49
00:02:34.969 --> 00:02:37.159
Yeah, I think, and with our film, you know, we're
50
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.639
really dialed in on telling the story of the Patterson-Gimlin
51
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.479
film and of Clint's father, Roger Patterson, and Bob Gimlin,
52
00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:46.280
who was kind of his, you know, partner in crime.
53
00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:49.759
And there are other friends who were these amazing characters.
54
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.159
They were these cowboys from Yakima, Washington, kind of the
55
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:54.830
last of their kind. And that's one of the things
56
00:02:54.849 --> 00:02:57.270
that really attracted me to this story. So we go
57
00:02:57.310 --> 00:03:00.530
down that path, how that famous film was made, the aftermath,
58
00:03:00.569 --> 00:03:03.159
all the money that was made and the lost friendships
59
00:03:03.219 --> 00:03:06.879
and betrayal and reunions. Um, and so that was really,
60
00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:08.900
you know, for me, it's just like that wild ride
61
00:03:08.979 --> 00:03:11.639
and this great story. Um, and then as it relates
62
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.689
to Bigfoot, um, whether the Patterson Gimlin film is of
63
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.629
a real Bigfoot or not really doesn't have any, any
64
00:03:17.689 --> 00:03:20.310
sort of bearing on whether Bigfoot is real or not. Um,
65
00:03:20.610 --> 00:03:23.389
you know, it, it, it clearly is the best evidence
66
00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:26.030
for many people and that's what they're out there looking for.
67
00:03:26.550 --> 00:03:29.069
But if it turns out that, you know, people can
68
00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:30.879
take that off the table and say, well, that's not
69
00:03:30.939 --> 00:03:33.099
actually real Bigfoot. That's actually a good thing for people
70
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.800
that are serious about trying to, prove Bigfoot's existence or not.
71
00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:38.379
Well I got I got to tell you something there
72
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.180
Mark in the in the way that even here in
73
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.159
Charlotte when I have that foul smell in the forest
74
00:03:43.180 --> 00:03:45.729
that I live in you bet inside my heart I
75
00:03:45.770 --> 00:03:48.409
think that I'm being visited by that Bigfoot because there
76
00:03:48.629 --> 00:03:51.030
is a smell and and and even in your movie
77
00:03:51.050 --> 00:03:53.050
you even talk about that as well and I'm going
78
00:03:53.129 --> 00:03:55.030
I knew that I knew that because that's that's what
79
00:03:55.069 --> 00:03:56.919
we grew up with in Montana.
80
00:03:57.900 --> 00:03:59.639
Yeah Clint do you remember your dad talking about the.
81
00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:03.370
Smell Oh, yeah, he would say that it smelled like
82
00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:06.840
a dog that was wet that rolled in something dead.
83
00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:11.319
And I was like, okay, I've actually had that smell
84
00:04:11.379 --> 00:04:15.319
before in real with our dogs because they like to
85
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.560
roll in stuff that's dead. And I went, wow, that's
86
00:04:17.689 --> 00:04:22.550
a pretty raunchy smell. So, yeah, he would describe it
87
00:04:22.629 --> 00:04:26.089
to me. And, I mean, I never did smell it
88
00:04:26.829 --> 00:04:29.389
in the forest, but I smelt it on my dogs. Yeah.
89
00:04:31.149 --> 00:04:33.720
You know, we had the movie inside theaters. It was
90
00:04:33.779 --> 00:04:37.060
in selected movies. And then we had the National Enquirer.
91
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:41.180
So you have no idea what this documentary, Capture Bigfoot,
92
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.560
is all about to me. Because it gives me that
93
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.329
opportunity to revisit something that I still believe that it's unanswered.
94
00:04:47.569 --> 00:04:49.129
In fact, where else would I have learned that it
95
00:04:49.170 --> 00:04:51.810
was named Patty and it could have been Kathy? I mean,
96
00:04:52.250 --> 00:04:53.810
I learned it on your documentary.
97
00:04:55.290 --> 00:04:56.430
Yeah, you know, the.
98
00:04:56.230 --> 00:04:58.569
Naming of that, I think it got named Patty, which
99
00:04:58.589 --> 00:05:02.589
this was, you know, a female creature on film. And
100
00:05:02.610 --> 00:05:06.180
it was named Patty pretty quickly after Roger Patterson. But the,
101
00:05:06.189 --> 00:05:10.220
you know, unfortunate coincidence is that Clint's mom, Roger's wife,
102
00:05:10.259 --> 00:05:12.480
was named Patricia, also called Patty sometimes.
103
00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:12.730
And so.
104
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.310
She had to live with that name of that Bigfoot
105
00:05:15.329 --> 00:05:17.470
being named Patty, and she's still dealing with it today.
106
00:05:17.509 --> 00:05:19.750
We talked to her not that long ago, and she
107
00:05:19.790 --> 00:05:21.569
was just kind of under her breath, like, oh, I can't,
108
00:05:21.610 --> 00:05:23.870
you know, the fact that that is Patty. We asked
109
00:05:23.910 --> 00:05:25.540
her what she would have called it, and I think
110
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.040
she said she would have called it Go Away.
111
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.519
Oh, there's more Bigfoot talk on the way with Clint
112
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:32.939
Patterson and Mark Evan.
113
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:33.439
Don't move.
114
00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:36.939
Hey, thanks for coming back to my conversation with Clint
115
00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:42.569
Patterson and Mark Evan. We're talking about capturing Bigfoot, the documentary. Clint,
116
00:05:42.589 --> 00:05:44.449
I'm so jealous of you in the way that you
117
00:05:44.490 --> 00:05:46.069
and your dad got to go out there and hunt
118
00:05:46.110 --> 00:05:48.069
for the Bigfoot because I always wanted my dad to
119
00:05:48.110 --> 00:05:50.230
do that with me. So I always had the imaginary
120
00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:52.040
friends that would go out with me into the forest.
121
00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:54.220
So I'm really jealous of you. And then to watch
122
00:05:54.259 --> 00:05:56.379
you as a child inside of this just really is
123
00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:57.240
just so amazing.
124
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.980
Yeah, he took me out of school and we took off, uh,
125
00:06:02.589 --> 00:06:04.149
In a Volkswagen van.
126
00:06:04.189 --> 00:06:04.930
Yes, you did.
127
00:06:04.970 --> 00:06:08.240
With two horses in the back of the van. And
128
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.560
we were out there to capture one or they'll just
129
00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:17.000
see something. And it was such an adventure that I
130
00:06:17.019 --> 00:06:20.060
got to say, I really, at the time, I didn't
131
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.790
care about Bigfoot. I just wanted to be around my dad.
132
00:06:22.810 --> 00:06:23.189
That's right.
133
00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:28.610
And I didn't, yeah, he was my teacher, my hero.
134
00:06:29.149 --> 00:06:31.089
And I just loved being around him.
135
00:06:31.649 --> 00:06:33.430
Oh, my God. And that's very evident.
136
00:06:33.529 --> 00:06:36.230
And, boy, you had some balls to put this on
137
00:06:36.269 --> 00:06:38.970
there of how real you felt when you lost your father.
138
00:06:39.209 --> 00:06:41.259
Because all of a sudden, you know, I mean, oh,
139
00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:44.740
my God, I became so engaged in the storyline when
140
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.420
I got to see your real emotions.
141
00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:50.319
Yeah, it was the worst day of my life when
142
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.509
I seen my grandmother sleeping on our couch and I go,
143
00:06:54.529 --> 00:06:57.009
what in the heck is she doing here? And when
144
00:06:57.029 --> 00:07:00.009
they told me that, I didn't believe it. I really,
145
00:07:00.029 --> 00:07:02.970
I refused to believe it. Wow.
146
00:07:03.430 --> 00:07:06.339
I love the way, Mark, that you start the documentary
147
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.879
off in the way that everything changes. Because, you know,
148
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.420
as somebody who thinks they know everything about Bigfoot.
149
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.500
No, I don't. No, I don't. Now that I've seen this, no,
150
00:07:15.540 --> 00:07:15.779
I don't.
151
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.230
But you really do set us up as viewers to
152
00:07:18.290 --> 00:07:20.750
kind of give us a better line to walk on.
153
00:07:22.689 --> 00:07:25.389
Yeah, and that's definitely, you know, our hope as storytellers
154
00:07:25.629 --> 00:07:27.490
and something that I wanted to do. I've got a
155
00:07:27.529 --> 00:07:31.519
great producer, Tamir Ardone, that we're really great creative collaborators.
156
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.300
And then we eventually brought on this extremely talented editor
157
00:07:35.310 --> 00:07:39.019
named Michelle Witten who helped craft that story. And, you know,
158
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.319
we certainly could have made something that was more of
159
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.540
this like salacious one-sided here's, here's this one take on, on,
160
00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:46.720
you know, whatever it is we want to say, but
161
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.730
we did want to have a more nuanced and balanced
162
00:07:48.769 --> 00:07:51.930
and layered approach to it, which is more exciting storytelling
163
00:07:51.949 --> 00:07:53.790
for me. And I think it makes for a better film, better.
164
00:07:53.629 --> 00:07:54.410
Experience for the viewer.
165
00:07:54.870 --> 00:07:57.290
Well, Clint, I truly believe that you and your father
166
00:07:57.329 --> 00:07:59.709
were rock stars and you were just traveling from town
167
00:07:59.750 --> 00:08:01.699
to town to town because everybody wanted to see that.
168
00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:03.699
I mean, look what you did at that gymnasium. You
169
00:08:03.779 --> 00:08:05.980
sold three nights in a row, three shows in a row,
170
00:08:06.019 --> 00:08:07.019
completely sold out.
171
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.939
Yes. I mean, that was a and at the end
172
00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:18.350
of the to hear the applauses. of people really got
173
00:08:18.389 --> 00:08:22.209
in my heart, man. I was like, wow, we're showing
174
00:08:22.250 --> 00:08:27.290
this and people are really liking what they're seeing. And,
175
00:08:27.629 --> 00:08:30.540
you know, We got to a lot of bigfooters that
176
00:08:30.579 --> 00:08:32.960
are out there that are saying some rotten things, but
177
00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:36.460
they can say whatever they want. I know what the
178
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:36.980
truth is.
179
00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:39.100
Well, you're absolutely right about that, and that's what's fun
180
00:08:39.139 --> 00:08:41.879
about this because it also gets it so into the
181
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:42.340
hearts of.
182
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.710
People going, I want to go find something like this.
183
00:08:45.009 --> 00:08:46.409
And as long as people are getting back in the
184
00:08:46.450 --> 00:08:48.649
forest again, I'm a happy camper because I'm a tree
185
00:08:48.690 --> 00:08:52.250
lover and people are losing their connection to the forest itself.
186
00:08:52.429 --> 00:08:54.129
Get a bigfoot put in there then.
187
00:08:55.710 --> 00:08:59.570
You bet. I mean, there's something to look for out
188
00:08:59.610 --> 00:09:04.379
there because too many people have seen something. And my gosh,
189
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.700
I hope someday somebody proves it and captures one.
190
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.159
All right. Now, here's the big question for you, Mark
191
00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:11.700
and Clint.
192
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.179
Is it now a UAP since UFOs are completely that
193
00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:17.250
one thing we used to do?
194
00:09:17.509 --> 00:09:20.350
But a UAP might explain something like this.
195
00:09:22.779 --> 00:09:25.929
Well, I have a tough time with that one. I'll
196
00:09:25.970 --> 00:09:27.070
just say anything is possible.
197
00:09:27.230 --> 00:09:28.690
Yeah.
198
00:09:29.950 --> 00:09:32.649
I'm going to say that, you know what? There's a
199
00:09:32.669 --> 00:09:36.149
lot of things that we don't know about and anything
200
00:09:36.250 --> 00:09:36.960
is possible.
201
00:09:37.529 --> 00:09:39.700
Oh, I just love what you guys are doing. Where
202
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.740
can people go to find out more about this project
203
00:09:42.779 --> 00:09:44.980
and everything that you're going to be diving into? Because
204
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.259
this is going to spark up a new storm of, oh,
205
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:47.919
is he real?
206
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.659
Is he not real? And what can we do to
207
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.299
find our own?
208
00:09:51.370 --> 00:09:54.899
Yeah, it certainly already is, but you can go to capturingbigfoot.com
209
00:09:54.940 --> 00:09:56.600
and that can tell you where to watch the film,
210
00:09:57.019 --> 00:09:58.549
which the best place to do that right now is
211
00:09:58.570 --> 00:10:00.919
you can buy it or rent it on Amazon. Prime Video,
212
00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:04.190
Capturing Bigfoot. But on our website, that also points you
213
00:10:04.210 --> 00:10:06.750
to all of our social media accounts, which we're releasing
214
00:10:06.870 --> 00:10:09.690
a lot of really fun content. There's podcasts, there's a
215
00:10:09.730 --> 00:10:12.980
companion film. A lot of behind-the-scenes clips and extra bonus
216
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.960
features that people are really enjoying as well.
217
00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:18.259
Yeah, and kudos to you, Clint, for making sure that
218
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.779
this did not really come across as a documentary like
219
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.820
we're used to seeing them. You really did put a
220
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.519
lot of emotion and some realism in this that made
221
00:10:25.570 --> 00:10:27.389
me feel like I was part of your circle on
222
00:10:27.429 --> 00:10:29.990
this hunt and, again, looking for better answers. So kudos
223
00:10:30.009 --> 00:10:31.730
to both you and Mark on this, Clint.
224
00:10:33.070 --> 00:10:35.889
Thank you. I mean, it took a lot of time
225
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:41.419
to gain my trust, and Mark and Tamara, the XYZ,
226
00:10:41.460 --> 00:10:46.370
they gained my trust, and boy, we ended up with
227
00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:48.889
something that's pretty extraordinary.
228
00:10:49.029 --> 00:10:49.389
I love it.
229
00:10:49.409 --> 00:10:51.570
Well, you guys be brilliant, and please come back to
230
00:10:51.590 --> 00:10:53.389
this show anytime in the future, okay?
231
00:10:54.389 --> 00:10:55.220
Thanks, Eric. I appreciate it.
