18
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.920
From the broadcast studio, Yeah it's yet. Straight from the
19
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:09.040
broadcast studio.
20
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:16.680
We're live. Hey, Riley, tell us who you are and
21
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:17.239
what you do.
22
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.560
So I am Riley Wants. I'm the host of Midwest
23
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:25.040
Mythos and man, I talk about the cryptids, that ancient history.
24
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.359
I like talking about the aliens, conspiracies, and most of all,
25
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.599
I love talking about Jesus and the Bible. And you
26
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:32.719
get a mixture of all that kind of stuff on
27
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.000
Midwest Mythos and Yeah. Man, it's just it's I like
28
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.719
talking about the weird stuff nobody talks about. I finally
29
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.920
got the outlet to do it because you know, growing up,
30
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.280
I had maybe like two friends I talked about this stuff.
31
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.040
Then I heard about podcasts and I was like, man,
32
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.120
let me do it. I am a year in last week,
33
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:50.879
two weeks ago. This is awesome.
34
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.879
Who's your favorite guest so far? Now that's a loaded question.
35
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.640
I'm just saying, but you know, we all kind of
36
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.879
have shows that we know are good.
37
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.840
Yeah, honestly, I would have to and this is nothing
38
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.680
that any of the guests I had on because I.
39
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:06.959
I love every guess I understand that too.
40
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.719
Honestly, it would have to be as far as like
41
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.439
blowing my mind, just like in just the flow of
42
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.879
the conversation. It has to be Amber from Cold Life Escaped.
43
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.800
I actually just had her episode just came out this
44
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.919
past week. And I'm sitting there and you know, when
45
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.360
I'm talking to people, I always get I'm involved in
46
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.000
the conversation. Yeah, focused and pay in. But me and her,
47
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.759
it only felt like we were recording for like twenty minutes,
48
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.159
thirty minutes. We're there for two and a half hours almost. Yeah,
49
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.879
that's a good one, getting into it talking about satanic colts,
50
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.960
the signs of everything and how to get into them.
51
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.439
And I'm just like, man, this is all everything that
52
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.120
I've always been into researching. Yeah, it all came just
53
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.400
into this one. And I was like, man, this is
54
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.039
I've told her like ten times this last week. This
55
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.080
is probably the funnest interview I've ever done.
56
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.759
That's awesome. What is Amber from the Cult?
57
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.680
Life Escaped? Dude? I'll send you, ah, I'll send you
58
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.240
your info after. She's a wonderful woman to talk to
59
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.080
and take a lot of notes. So you're all good?
60
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.840
So do I so so talk to us about what
61
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.879
got you into this whole thing, Like, you know, did
62
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.599
you have an experience when you were younger? All that
63
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.280
type of stuff. You know, there's everyone's got a gateway,
64
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.560
so what what is yours? All?
65
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.159
Right? So it's funny because I actually this is like
66
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.319
the whole intro to my podcast. It's me playing guitar,
67
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:30.840
and I'm just like, ever since I was a young boy,
68
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.479
been fascinated of stories of the unknown places yet to
69
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.439
be discovered, while people trying to find their wildest riches,
70
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.080
all that kind of stuff, experiences creatures. So it's kind
71
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.199
of funny because when I was a child, I was
72
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.400
afraid of everything. Everything scared me. I was definitely terrified
73
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.759
of aliens, ghosts, everything. My parents were surprised. I even
74
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.840
watched Scooby Doo right, and they were kind of just
75
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.840
they were kind of disappointed to me because there I
76
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.800
come from a family like horror is everything. Like they
77
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.280
you name a horror movie from the seventies to present, Yep,
78
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.319
they've seen it and wow. So I just kind of
79
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.520
shied away from all this kind of stuff. And then
80
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.919
in about two thousand, was it two thousand and six
81
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.199
or two thousand and seven, Monster Quest started coming out,
82
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.560
and I just remember watching it one day and it
83
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.680
was the second episode and it was about Bigfoot in
84
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.680
the Pacific Northwest, and I was like, oh, this is
85
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.319
really really cool. So I kind of just like it
86
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.240
kind of just ingrained itself in my little kid mind,
87
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.240
and I never forgot about it. So when i'd go
88
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.439
to the library and stuff at school, I'd look I'd
89
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:42.160
be like, hey, this is whatever, Master, can you help
90
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.800
me find a book on Bigfoot? And she would helped
91
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.000
me find all these books on Bigfoot, and then I
92
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.240
read those look at the pictures, and then some of
93
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.879
these books, for being in a kid's library, got into
94
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.959
some pretty deep stuff like connections to UFOs and stuff
95
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.879
like that. And like I said earlier, I was terrified
96
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.639
at aliens, so like I kind of got scared for
97
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.759
a minute, but I tried to stick with the big
98
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.839
Harry Man did a bunch of research on research when
99
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.959
I was a kid. Then Ancient Aliens came out, and
100
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.360
my dad was obsessed with that show because he did
101
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.439
when he was alive. If you walked into my parents' house,
102
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.600
he had the Sci Fi channel lot and was watching
103
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.759
those crappy be movies and stuff like that. R his
104
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.879
three favorite movies of all time, Armageddon, which is not
105
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.720
a B movie, not the worst movie, Dependence Day, and
106
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.319
then Firing the Skies, and so we would just he
107
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.800
was all about aliens and stuff, and he was open
108
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.759
to talk about them with me, and so we'd get
109
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.920
home from school watch Ancient Aliens and I was just like,
110
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.279
Ahian Aliens was slippery slope. It helped me get over
111
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.920
my fear of aliens at like eleven or twelve. And
112
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.399
then at that point my best friend Caleb, he was
113
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.519
also into the stuff, so me and him would bounce
114
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.560
ideas off of each other, talk about it, do research.
115
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.959
We attempted to read Chariot of the Gods at twelve,
116
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.600
and that book is a pretty.
117
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:06.399
Dense you know, it's pretty bad. It's a more advanced book. Yeah,
118
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:07.120
so we're.
119
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.759
Just like, as screw this, We're not gonna read this.
120
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.079
And then as we got older, like seniors in high school,
121
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.360
we started to And at this point I came across
122
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.800
Sasquatch Chronicles and The Confessionals right when he first started
123
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.839
that podcast yep, so like late twenty seventeen, early twenty eighteen,
124
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.079
and I was like, wait, there's a whole world of
125
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.720
people talking about this. Nobody besides my buddy will talk
126
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.879
about this stuff with me. So over the years, I
127
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:33.879
just like, all right, I'm gonna start a podcast. I'm
128
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.560
gonna start a podcast. Never did. Then I met Shane
129
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.720
Jones from Inquiers of Our Reality.
130
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.720
Who we were just talking about good Dad.
131
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.480
We met at Eric from Uncomfortable Podcasts his event in
132
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.360
Michigan Bigfoot and Bruise. Shane and I hooked it off,
133
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:50.920
and I talked to Eric too, and both of them
134
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.120
were like, oh, you should start a podcast. A couple
135
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.199
of years went by and boom, here it was. But
136
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.120
I've always I guess it's a long winded story, but
137
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.480
now it's always been a I mean, I've had plenty
138
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.879
of experiences too. I've living right on Lake Michigan.
139
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:05.439
Yep.
140
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.560
UFOs are not a surprise me and countless other people
141
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.439
I've lived with, by friends, all that we've all, we've
142
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.079
all seen UFOs. It's a couple of them we know
143
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.720
for sure. Others could just be other things. We know
144
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.439
they're not planes because there's so much airplane traffic in
145
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.399
the area. We're very, very familiar all the airports in Chicago.
146
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.240
We got all the airports from Wisconsin, Michigan, Detroit, you know,
147
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.040
Betton Harber's Airport. I've been, so we know what planes
148
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:34.800
look like because we see about two hundred of them
149
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.800
a day. Yeah, it was just stuff like that and
150
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.600
I'm like, man, I'm gonna start talking about it on
151
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.439
the podcast. So yeah, that's how That's how I got here, man.
152
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:48.199
Yeah. So when so let's transition into like cryptids a
153
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.839
little bit. Yeah, and we'll just get into this whole
154
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.079
camping trip that you guys went on, you and Doc
155
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:55.759
and who actually put that together.
156
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.519
So that was a that was a combined effort of
157
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.279
horror owns from Big four reports and data and then
158
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.759

He they they got together. I got a text. I
161
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.480
interviewed Drew Sky like last late last summer.
162
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:15.000
Yeah.
163
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.839
Me and him hit it off right away, and he's like, bro,
164

Yeah.
170
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:31.319
Yeah.
171
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.360
So they they had been talking for quite a while
172
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.240
and next thing, you know, me and Harley get to
173
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.360
know each other and I get an invite from both
174
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.320
of them at the same time. That's awesome, Hey you
175
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.120
want to come you want to come down to an
176
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:47.000
undisclosed location down to Tennessee and you know, go camping,
177
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.320
look for bigfoot and dog man.
178
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:54.120
I think the whole swath of eastern Tennessee is undisclosed. Seriously,
179
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.679
it really is. It's crazy. Yeah. I've been down there
180
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:01.200
a few times, not not really for this type stuff,
181
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.639
but when I was down there, I always just got
182
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.639
And I've also spent a lot of time across the
183
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.600
border in North Carolina in the Smokies, and dude, it's
184
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.679
just got a different energy there, man, And.
185
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.960
It really does. And we can get into that, man.
186
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.240
Yeah, for sure, absolutely, I want to. I want to
187
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.559
hear about it because the next time, if I don't
188
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.480
get invited, I'm gonna torch some stuff.
189
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.480
You know. That's a very uh that's a very common
190
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.120
statement that I've been hearing late. There's been a lot
191
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.000
of people, and some of the people had invites in
192
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:35.879
there just like, no, I don't want to come.
193
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.799
You know, I would be there in a heartbeat. That's
194
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.360
just you know, but you know, not everyone's able to
195
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.080
to do it. You get it. Yeah, so you no,
196
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.279
I'm just I'm just messing around, but not messing around.
197
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.000
Yeah, I know, I know exactly what you mean Drew Ski.
198
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:55.480
When you listen to this, don't do it man, Oh
199
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.960
your boy, do it man.
200
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.120
But yeah, so we've had you know, some people obviously,
201
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.480
life happens, they weren't able to come out. That's understandable,
202
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.039
you know. And then others, like I said, just were like,
203
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.879
I don't I'm feeling I don't think nothing's gonna happen,
204
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.639
to be honest, I was kind of skeptical going out
205
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.240
anyway too, because I was like, you know, I've done
206
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:19.279
my fair share of squashing up in the Midwest, Michigan mostly,
207
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.639
but you know, coming from you know, the Midwest, man,
208
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.039
it's flat, it's corn. We got forest, but we got
209
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.240
some dense forests too, but it's still flat. You know.
210
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.000
You can get hills here and there and a lot
211
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.159
of tree growth, but you can still see, like even
212
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.159
with heavy brush, you can still see quite a bit
213
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:37.679
in front of.
214
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:38.559
You, Yeah, for sure.
215
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.519
And at night, you know, moonlight still comes through the
216
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.879
trees a little bit. But when I was driving down there,
217
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.559
especially once I got into like southern Kentucky, once I
218
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.000
really got into the Appalation Trail and the smoky.
219
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.759
It's different, animal, bro, dude.
220
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:55.679
It it kind of hit me because I mean I've
221
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.919
been down there for like vacation and stuff, but that
222
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.679
was just, Oh, We're going to like Seerville, Pigeon forde
223
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.200
geat Lebert, you know, do all the touristy stuff, just
224
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.120
like me and my friends for like a long weekend.
225
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.279
So I, you know, I drive through the mountains like, oh,
226
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.399
these are pretty. You know, this is cool, it's breathtaking.
227
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.639
But going down there with the mindset of what I
228
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:15.039
was going.
229
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.279
To be doing, like I'm getting into it.
230
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:22.759
Yeah. So Harley's transmission blew out on his truck, so
231
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.000
I'm on my way down. I've already been driving for
232
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:26.960
like nine and a half hours at this point. He
233
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.320
texted me. He's like, hey, boy, can you come pick
234
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.799
me up? Yeah, I got you. It's not too far
235
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.440
out the way. So I pick him up and we're
236
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.000
sitting there talking. He's showing me some pictures that he's
237
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.039
never showed anybody. He's like, he's getting me hyped and stuff.
238
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.200
We're heading the doc's house to stay the night and
239
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.240
have a little sleepover, and we're just getting and we
