Travis “T Carp” Carpenter joins Broadcasting Seeds to talk about the legacy of his father, the late Sasquatch researcher Scott Carpenter, and the strange questions still surrounding his work. Scott Carpenter was known for boots-on-the-ground Bigfoot research, field evidence, DNA questions, supernatural theories, and his willingness to follow the mystery deeper than most researchers were comfortable going. Recently, Scott’s name came back into the spotlight after David Paulides discussed him on Joe Rogan, bringing new attention to his research and legacy. In this conversation, Travis opens up about growing up around Sasquatch research, what people misunderstand about his father, the burden of carrying a controversial name, Missing 411, Bigfoot DNA, mind speak, the hitchhiker effect, Nephilim theories, faith, prepping, wilderness survival, and what may really be watching from the woods. This is not just a Bigfoot episode. This is about legacy, family, faith, fear, and the strange line between the natural and supernatural. They know we know.

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:14.720
All right, folks, Today on Broadcasting Seeds, we're stepping into

2
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:20.359
the woods, but not just for another campfire story. My

3
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.480
guest today is Travis Carpenter, also known to many as

4
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.519
Tea cart Now. Yes, Travis is the son of the

5
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.960
late Scott Carpenter, a name that carries serious weight in

6
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.439
the bigfoot research world. Now, Scott was one of those

7
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:42.000
researchers who did not just talk about sasquatch behind a

8
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.640
freaking keyboard. He got out there and he walked the land,

9
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:51.439
and he touched ground, and he collected evidence. He asked

10
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.119
uncomfortable questions all the time. And recently his name came

11
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.799
up again in a big way when David Polates appeared

12
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.000
on Joe Rogan and talked about Scott, his research and

13
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.959
some of the strange evidence connected to the broader sasquatch mystery.

14
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.239
But here's the important part. Travis Carpenter is not here

15
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.760
simply as Scott Carpenter's son. He is his own man.

16
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.519
He has his own voice, his own witness to this

17
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.959
world of strange evidence, field research, family legacy, and the

18
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.040
burden that comes with carrying forward a name people either respect,

19
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:35.000
question or argue about around digital campfires. Freaking all over

20
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:40.040
the Internet. And I think that matters because when your

21
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.760
father becomes part of the modern sasquatch conversation, especially in

22
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:50.480
a field that's this controversial, you inherit more than stories.

23
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.760
And I'm sure he can attest to that. You inherit questions,

24
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:59.040
You inherit criticism, You inherit unfinished business and work, and

25
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.480
maybe if you are built for it, you inherit a

26
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.519
responsibility to tell the truth as you understand it. So

27
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:11.000
today we are going to talk about Scott Carpenter. Yes,

28
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.919
we are going to talk about David po Ladies mentioning

29
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.240
him on Joe Rogan. We are going to talk about

30
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.919
what Travis things, people get right, what they get wrong,

31
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.039
and what it was like growing up around a father

32
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.479
who was chasing one of the biggest mysteries in North America.

33
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.439
But more than anything, we're going to hear from Travis,

34
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.199
not the shadow of the legacy, not the footnote of

35
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:43.360
someone else's research, the man himself, Travis Carpenter, Welcome to

36
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:44.639
broadcasting Seeds.

37
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.680
My brother, what an introduction. Thank you for it. I

38
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.000
don't deserve it, and I can say that I'm blown

39
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.960
away by it. Man, I am blown away by it. Man,

40
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.560
what is up? I am doing very very very well,

41
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:01.960
and I hope you are too. Man.

42
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.759
Yeah. Man. So for people that are finding you for

43
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.759
the first time, where can they find you?

44
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.439
Yeah? So I have two channels, so I run. I

45
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:17.439
run my dad's channel, the Sasquatch Awareness Project, or you

46
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.400
can actually just google Scott Carpenter and it will take

47
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.120
you to that, because I still want to have his

48
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.599
name on there for folks, Hey, Scott Carpenter, this guy,

49
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:31.159
but it is moved to that Sasquatch Awareness Project and

50
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.560
it might even evolve into something else past that. And

51
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.280
then for me, you can find just me by kind

52
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.039
of behind the scenes what I enjoy doing at the

53
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:48.240
t cart channel just tcarp and I do prepping, I

54
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:53.919
do outdoors, gun reviews, n reviews, That's where I cut

55
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.280
my teeth in YouTube, and then just kind of legacied

56
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.159
up with with the Sasquatch Awareness Project.

57
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.319
Talking about geo politics and stuff that affect you and

58
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.360
your family too. It's just cool, it's cool.

59
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.479
I love, I love, I genuinely love to talk about it. Uh.

60
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.879
What what scares me is is uh that a lot

61
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.920
of people, Uh the wild part of the thing about

62
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.319
geopolitics is the fact that it's never left or right.

63
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.160
My what scares me is people politically on one side

64
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.680
that I not necessarily would agree with or agreeing with

65
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.040
me on certain things, and that scares me more than anything. Right,

66
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.439
So it's like, oh, oh, I'm the supposed I'm the

67
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.680
guy supposed to be out here in this crazy pasture

68
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.439
over here, and why is there everybody else coming over here?

69
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:44.319
Right?

70
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.279
Yeah, that's the scary part.

71
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.560
But anyway, this is why you have a quarter mile

72
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.079
long driveway.

73
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.279
That's exactly right. See, I can sit here from I

74
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.079
was I was telling you before we turned the cameras on.

75
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.839
You know, I can sit here from from kind of

76
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.360
the station. I can look out and see fifty acres.

77
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.399
But then I can look this way and see the

78
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.000
quarter mile long driveway and see if anybody's coming down it.

79
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.439
So it's a it's a it's a nice central central

80
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:14.399
peace and I love it.

81
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:19.680
Yeah, absolutely, So let's uh, let's just jump right into this. Man,

82
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.680
when did you first realize that your dad's research was

83
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:32.079
not just a just a hobby man, that's something much bigger, right.

84
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.519
Yes, So that great questions because so when he you know,

85
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.399
when dad came to us. We all know Dad loved

86
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.279
to hunt and love to fish, and and no big

87
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.360
deal with that. But when it become like, okay, dad's

88
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:50.120
dad thinks Bigfoot exists. Okay, cool rock and roll, you know,

89
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.959
and no, no big deal, you know dad, Dad'll get

90
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.240
to the bottom of it either way. And we thought

91
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.160
nothing of it. When and it became kind of a

92
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:06.680
big deal was when finding Bigfoot, like started to contact him. Yeah,

93
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.800
the original TV shows there, and he was like, you know,

94
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.079
I don't really care about them. I don't I don't

95
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.279
want to be on TV. I don't want because they're

96
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.360
going to make me look like an idiot. And I

97
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.519
was like, well, Dad, you never know. And they kept

98
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.680
they kept on and kept on, and he had a

99
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.560
few phone calls with producers and come to find out,

100
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.319
so that you know, they sent people down. Well, guess what.

101
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.720
It was a major thing for Knoxville because at the time,

102
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:46.439
a little known Knoxville mayor who is now extremely involved

103
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.079
in the community, Tim Burchett, was the Knox County mayor

104
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:58.240
and through see the whole the reason Tim Burchett got

105
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.240
into all this was that it's very little known kind

106
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.680
of fact, but he was Knox County mayor here in

107
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:08.759
East See. When they came to see Dad, they like

108
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.240
he threw a party because it was a big deal.

109
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.879
He wanted Knoxvill on the map. They rented out the

110
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:21.160
Sun's Sphere in Knoxville, Wow for it so that Dad

111
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.759
and other people could come tell their their Sasquatch stories.

112
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.720
Like at that point I knew something was up. Like

113
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.000
I was like, Dad's bigger than the this is getting bigger.

114
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:39.920
And then and then the when less Stroud, when Less

115
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.480
Stroud came to town, and that that to me was was

116
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.439
humongous for for for me.

117
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.600
Yeah, well that's your that's your lane, that's your wheelhair.

118
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.000
That was and less Stroud's no joke. I mean, yeah,

119
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.560
he is the man when it comes to the survival stuff.

120
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.600
So he is he is, And we'll get we'll get

121
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.360
to some easy stuff with Less you know, later on

122
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.639
the podcast. But that's when I knew it was. That's

123
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.519
when I knew it was the real deal. People were

124
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:13.079
paying attention and and Dad was just more than just

125
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.399
a guy with a camera and a YouTube channel.

126
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.600
So what do you think people misunderstand about, like understand

127
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:21.759
most about your dad.

128
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:27.839
I think that they they misunderstand that Dad wasn't just

129
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:32.960
you know one way at the very beginning, you know,

130
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.679
he wasn't just you know, wu wou or nephelim or

131
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.919
anything like that. And again we'll get that later on.

132
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.600
But I think that Dad started just like everybody else,

133
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.480
Dad had an experience that he couldn't understand. It was

134
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:53.039
like what happened? That doesn't make sense? Yeah, And actually

135
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:58.679
Dad like Dad had a a kid experience where two

136
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.799
of them like came up to the like the you know,

137
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.879
I have you know, a glass glass door here. He

138
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.279
had two of them comed up to his glass door

139
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.080
and as a kid, put their noses up against it

140
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.720
and run off. Well, Dad didn't know anything about Bigfoot,

141
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.399
had not mares about it for years. Mom even talked

142
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:23.320
about it, and you know, he always thought it was

143
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.799
the two little the two little demons, you know, like

144
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.120
messing with them. And come to find out, like when

145
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.919
he got into the big Foot stuff understood it. Then

146
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.440
it all kind of came together and it's like, okay,

147
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.799
this is what's up. But he had, you know, he

148
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:45.480
went through you know, what is this? You know, is

149
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:47.720
it is it big Harry Ape? Is it human? Is

150
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.759
it nephelim is it this? He did? He did all

151
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:55.159
the things, and he questioned himself all the time. It

152
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:56.240
was like, well is it this?

153
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:56.720
Is it?

154
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.440
Really? This is it? Is it all this? It wasn't

155
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.279
just gung ho one thing at one time. So I

156
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:06.080
think a lot of people misunderstand and think that, oh,

157
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.879
he's always thought that, and he's like, no, he didn't.

158
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:13.000
He he he evolved his research to that.

159
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.039
Yeah. I wonder because he talked about it before. But

160
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.600
other people, you know, and I've I've had the encounter

161
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.919
of like the or the the phenomenon, the hitchhiker effect, right,

162
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:27.679
and I know he had, and I know other people

163
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.799
tons of other people have too. I wonder if that

164
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.639
event when he was a kid. I wonder if those

165
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.679
I guess, for lack of a better way of putting it,

166
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:43.720
if he grew up with those same too bigfoot ye,

167
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.120
because if you think about it, they attach themselves to people,

168
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.720
they do. And he would be the first one to

169
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.240
tell you that. I wonder if he ever thought of that.

170
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.679
I just thought of that just you saying it.

171
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:02.799
I think that I think definitely that could that could

172
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:06.240
be it, that could happen. And I think that Dad

173
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:12.039
probably probably thought that whatever he he said this though,

174
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.679
he said he was marked, yeah, whatever.

175
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.399
That's what I mean, And that's what I mean.

176
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:21.159
Yeah, Like like like he he would always say, they

177
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.840
know that, you know that, they know like like you

178
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.440
know he would, but dude, he could get out of it,

179
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.519
Like he could get out of the truck and we

180
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.559
would we get out of the truck like down here

181
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.279
on you know, a trail, like ten to fifteen minutes

182
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.519
from my new house, and he we get out of

183
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.320
the truck. He's like, Eh, there's one right over there.

184
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.639
I'm like, what are you talking about, Dad, Yeah, Like

185
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.279
I don't even see He's like, it's like I can

186
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.559
just feel it. He's like there's one right there, and

187
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:50.120
there's probably one there, but there's one right over there.

188
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.360
I just feel like he just knew.

189
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:53.840
Too, which is terrifying.

190
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:59.600
But but but at the same time, you know, the

191
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.240
question is is how you know that sixth sense that

192
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.639
he talked about, And he would always talk about that

193
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.399
that we all have it, and so like that feeling

194
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.600
of being watched, like we all have it. He would

195
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.240
talk about deer hunting and he's like, don't ever just

196
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.519
like stare at the deer. It's like you almost like

197
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:21.240
look off a little bit to try to break that

198
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.759
sixth sense type of thing, because if you stay it's funny,

199
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.919
if you stare at that deer, buddy, they'll they'll find

200
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.759
you and look right at.

201
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.759
You'll see him just like this. You know, yeah, you're right.

202
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.320
And and he would always talk about that, He's like,

203
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:38.799
look at that deer from the corner of your eye.

204
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.919
Don't just stare right at it. And and it's just

205
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.919
something about that that sixth sense that we all have

206
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.200
that that connects us somehow. But I also to think

207
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.360
here's another example of it is have you ever text

208
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.360
your wife or about to text your wife or thinking

209
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.600
about your wife and she'll text you. Of course it's

210
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.519
that weird interconnected. I think that some it's, you know,

211
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:08.159
how you're interconnected with her. I think whatever it is

212
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:12.399
with them, it's that connection with them too that you had.

213
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.279
I don't. I personally don't have it, and I've never

214
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.879
had it, thank God. And I think there, you know,

215
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.879
I think there's a good reason why. I think a

216
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:24.840
little bit of prayer from Dad, a little bit of

217
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:29.639
prayer from me did that. And I've never had any issues.

218
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:34.159
But to say. You know, you start thinking it's like, man,

219
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.759
I was out there with that a ton like I've

220
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.919
seen it. I've got I've seen footprints, I've seen hair,

221
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.120
I've seen you know, I've never seen one it in person,

222
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:50.240
but you know it doesn't mean that I haven't felt it. Yeah,

223
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:55.240
those you know. A good example is you're walking down

224
00:13:55.279 --> 00:14:00.440
the trail and I always feel it around those rock faces,

225
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:04.559
that dread around those rock faces, and it's like I'll

226
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:07.279
always uh, I'll always kind of say to myself of

227
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.600
like you know, you know, get out kind of get

228
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:11.720
out of the way type of thing.

229
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:16.360
It's like, uh, you feel that ambush type site kind

230
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.159
of thing, and you're just like, man, I am not

231
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:21.360
in a good spot right now.

232
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.559
I heard that speaking a good spot. I'm watching a

233
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.759
red tail hawk sit up on this and do you

234
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:30.879
know what, do you know what a kestrel is? You

235
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:31.799
ever heard of a kestrel?

236
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:33.399
I don't know what a kestrel is.

237
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.120
A kestrel is like a small falcon. I'm watching this

238
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.879
redtail hawk and this small falcon or and this little

239
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.440
falcon just try to beat the snot out of it,

240
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:45.600
you know, trying to get it out of the way. Sorry,

241
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.679
but uh, just beautiful stuff out here anyway.

242
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.960
Go aheah. We have we have eagles here now, which

243
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:52.759
is really cool.

244
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:54.240
Dude, that's awesome.

245
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.200
Yeah. So they it's they cleaned up this lake that

246
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.759
is right by us, that was one of the most

247
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:04.519
looted lakes in the country and now we have now

248
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:07.360
since they've this I think is about a decade ago.

249
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.919
And now this is how you know it's come back

250
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.240
is because now we have like ten mating pairs of

251
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.840
eagles around this lake and man, they're everywhere and that's

252
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.279
amazing to watch them because they're huge. And we have

253
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.000
we have a couple of resident red tailed hawks too,

254
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:31.279
and but you see the hawks lying low manos will

255
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.759
bust them out. Yeah. And so what what you always

256
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.759
see too is because we have a lot of osprey

257
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:41.360
and they're you know, they're fishures. So they and then

258
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.279
you got the bully ass bald eagles. They'll steal the

259
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.039
fish from them.

260
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:49.320
They will do they'll steal the fish right off your line.

261
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.799
You'll be yeah, it's crazy.

262
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.080
But anyway, so what what do.

263
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.840
You think people misunderstand about you?

264
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:06.600
Most I think that people misunderstand about me is that

265
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:11.440
that I that I'm not. I necessarily just am in

266
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.799
Dad's shadow when it comes to the Bigfoot stuff, like

267
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.399
I never you know, I I just step back, never

268
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.799
really kind of did anything or weren't really a part

269
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.960
of it. And I want to make clear as like, hey,

270
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.679
I was I was a part and behind the scenes

271
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.799
of everything. So when it came to you know, the

272
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.840
DNA study, when it came to these shows, when it

273
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.639
came to theories and thoughts, a lot of that was

274
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:46.000
bounced off of us, so off of family, off me

275
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:51.919
and Miranda before it ever went out. Yeah, and uh, I,

276
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.440
I you know, I even remember when Dad had the

277
00:16:55.879 --> 00:17:00.200
dog man U folkage and he's like, I can't put

278
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.080
it out right now. I just can't put it out

279
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:06.160
like people will call me crazy. And uh. And I

280
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.839
specifically just remember all that stuff and uh and go

281
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:16.440
and Dad going through the the like oh my gosh,

282
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.200
So you not only have Bigfoot, now you have this

283
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:26.160
other creature and you talk about a world view shift

284
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.880
that Dad went through. But what people get wrong about

285
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.119
me is that I that I still only have like

286
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.160
one way of thinking and uh and I think my

287
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.079
way is the only way man with this with this

288
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.119
is all supernatural. I think we're all dealing with supernatural stuff,

289
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.279
and we're dealing with it the best way we know how.

290
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:53.039
Absolutely for sure. What made your dad different from other

291
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:54.279
researchers in the field.

292
00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:00.440
I think Dad, Dad took chances. Dad was innovative in

293
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.400
the way he did things. He Uh, Dad had a

294
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.440
way of keeping it simple to the fact of it

295
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.359
was ingenious. The the the the back trail camera like that.

296
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.480
I mean that you know that that right there. Uh,

297
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.680
if you really want to get great votage back trail

298
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:24.319
tammers where it's at. And the fact that he did that.

299
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:27.960
But he also you know, he did actual experiments. He did,

300
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.240
you know, the the lining the rocks up, he did

301
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.559
the feeding station, he did the you know, him and

302
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.279
Dave came up with the packing tape thing which got

303
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:43.000
actual d N actual DNA. Yeah. Uh, the with with

304
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:49.039
hair follicles, so many really really wilding and cool stuff.

305
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.839
I think Dad being out there boots on the ground,

306
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:58.440
the and doing it and doc man, you talk about documenting.

307
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:03.359
The dude documented for a year and a half two years.

308
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.400
Every time he went out he documented. And you talk

309
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.119
about you talk about being scientific and kind of boring

310
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:13.400
to be honest, it's like Dad's out in the woods.

311
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.240
Here's a picture of a cokecan you know, just stuff

312
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:21.400
like that. But yeah, but he actually did it scientifically

313
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:26.720
and documented it. And I think that that. I think

314
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:29.720
a lot of guys, you know, no offense to anybody,

315
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.359
you know, they they they just they just talk about

316
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.759
it and it's not they're not out there doing it.

317
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.640
And Dad was out there doing it before it was cool.

318
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:44.279
Yeah, for sure. What did he believe about sasquatch that

319
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.640
you think people still have not fully wrestled with.

320
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:53.359
Is there anything yet? Dad? Dad believes that this being

321
00:19:53.519 --> 00:20:00.279
had feelings, had thoughts, had emotions. Dad wrestled with the

322
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:05.319
fact of that they were nephylum or nephylum descendants. Well,

323
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:09.759
part of being nephylum is you're part human, Yeah, and

324
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:13.759
that when you start talking about that, that really messes

325
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:14.240
with people.

326
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.519
So they can't they can't handle it right.

327
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.599
So they have their own feelings, thoughts, emotions, They do

328
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.359
things for no reason what who knows what reason? They

329
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:32.880
they want to do things, and they people just fully

330
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:37.559
haven't wrestled with that, along with them being supernatural and

331
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:43.559
that some may have more supernatural abilities than others. You know,

332
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:48.519
there's there's definitely some that that have portal abilities, that

333
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.680
have the ability to mind speak, that have the ability

334
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.799
to do that, and then there's some that don't have that,

335
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.880
and they're able to be shot and killed and it.

336
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:03.640
But it really messes with people when you're not talking

337
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:10.319
about an unknown species, an unknown animal, you're talking about

338
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:18.680
a a sentient humanoid being. That now here's the here's

339
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:20.440
the part that really messed with people that may or

340
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.960
may not have a soul that that you know, and

341
00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:27.000
if they have a soul, is it a redeemable soul

342
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:31.680
for Christians? And that that that was the point that

343
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.400
that was a question that kept that up, and I wonder.

344
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:39.400
Struggled to explain that like discovered Like I remember him

345
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:42.680
talking on a YouTube about things like it was things

346
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:47.160
that he discovered or or suspected that even he was

347
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:48.160
just struggling with.

348
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.160
That was the biggest thing to do. And I think

349
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.880
we could get into that is do do the Sasquatch

350
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:58.559
have a redeemable soul? And that is and then if

351
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:01.839
they don't, why not? And that's a hard thing to

352
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.079
wrap your head around. It is insanely hard. And I

353
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.559
think that dad struggle and I still struggle with that too.

354
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.240
Is do we go you know, you know, as a

355
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:17.400
Christian person, do I do I go out and preach that?

356
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:17.680
You know?

357
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:20.480
It just gets into so many different things. Do I

358
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:23.400
go out and preach to them? And then if not,

359
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:25.759
do I stay away from them? Do I not go out?

360
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.480
Do I not research? You know? You go back and

361
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.079
forth because Dad, you know, Dad believes Oh no, don't

362
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.880
you know there's nothing good that can come from researching

363
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:41.039
them anymore? Well I used to think that. Do I

364
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:43.519
think that anymore? I'm not quite sure yet.

365
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:49.200
Yeah, yeah, for sure. And it's something I struggle with too, man,

366
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:55.559
I really do, because I don't see how they're irredeemable.

367
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.880
That's just my opinion. And I've heard too many stories

368
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:04.519
about whether it's mind speaker or something along those lines.

369
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:07.799
I mean, there's the famous one with Bo Kennedy. I

370
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.359
don't know if you've heard that. Most people have. There's

371
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:16.119
a there's a woman who he was she was being

372
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:20.319
talked to mind speak and it called itself an eliud.

373
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.880
This is a woman that had no knowledge of any

374
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:28.000
of this. They called it, called itself an eliud, and

375
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:33.880
that it was in search of redemption. Interesting so yeah,

376
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.559
so that And I've heard this on a couple different

377
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.440
things with different people that have been and one of

378
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.240
them was a guy who was basically in the woods

379
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:51.279
preaching about Jesus and something talked to him in his

380
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:56.279
mind and was essentially like thank you. I love to

381
00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.920
hear the word that type of thing, and it's like wow, like.

382
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:00.920
Wow, that's wild.

383
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:06.079
So that is wild. So I mean, you know so,

384
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:09.319
but but this is all the skeptical stuff, right, and

385
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:14.279
you have, as we know, in the Bigfoot community. You

386
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:17.160
you know, how how did he and how do you

387
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:22.200
handle criticism from skeptics and other researchers or people just

388
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.519
inside the Bigfoot community because some of these people are

389
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.319
just nasty and like they're I chalk it off to

390
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.519
money a lot of times is because they're making a

391
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.640
living doing this and if you blow up their paradigm

392
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.519
then they're screwed. And I understand, but damn.

393
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.359
That That's exactly the way Dad put it is is

394
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.359
if you if you destroy their paradigm, you destroy their

395
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:54.720
their livelihood, and people are very protective of their livelihood.

396
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:58.440
Let's just throw it out on the table. People like

397
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:03.960
Matt money Maker uh and and the b f r O. Guys, listen,

398
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:08.240
they do a lot of great work, okay, but their

399
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:14.279
narrative is is ape is unknown. Uh you know unknown

400
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.680
ape unknown? Uh you know Harry Harmenett like like, that's

401
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.640
that's what their thing is. And when someone comes in

402
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:29.319
and says, hey, there's a spiritual supernatural aspect to this,

403
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.680
you know it, really they don't like that because didn't

404
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.119
they think Number one, if there if their world view

405
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:42.880
as evolution spirituality doesn't exist, it's that's that's hocus pocus

406
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:47.000
to them. So there's one thing. Number two, you destroy

407
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:50.680
their income resources because because now it's like Bigfoot is

408
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.920
a little bit more scary than just something unknown.

409
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:53.400
Yeah.

410
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:58.079
And then if it's if it's a if it's this,

411
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:03.200
didn't they have to answer or religious questions about their

412
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:05.720
own faith that they're not ready to prepare. So on

413
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:11.160
multiple fronts they get uncomfortable. And I understand. I like

414
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:14.359
I used to be upset about it, like I really did.

415
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:16.519
I used to be like, man, these are these are

416
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:21.000
just they're just mean people, and it's like, eh, no,

417
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:23.960
they're they're coming at you. Try to look at it

418
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.240
from their perspective. But then again, I'll just be real

419
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:31.519
with you, I don't take them super seriously. Yeah, I know,

420
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:34.319
I like, like, I know, that's really terrible. I'm like,

421
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:38.200
I'm not you know, if you don't think that, okay, cool,

422
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.279
I'm gonna do my own thing over here because I

423
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:47.440
know who I am and they their opinions don't affect me.

424
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.599
Does that make sense?

425
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.319
Yeah, it does, because I I agree like with Matt

426
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.880
Moneymaker though. As much as people dislike the man, the

427
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:01.400
bottom line is he kind to put where we're at

428
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:03.839
on the map, and I think people need to give

429
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:04.880
him a credit for this.

430
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.519
Yes, and that is absolutely true.

431
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.359
He like this Bigfoot community would not be where it

432
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:13.799
is right now without that gentleman period.

433
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:14.920
Very well said.

434
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.720
And it doesn't matter what you think of him. It happened,

435
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.559
and it happened, and that's that's all I say. I'd

436
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.640
shake man's hand, you know, and and hear what he

437
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:28.359
has to say. But that's just me, you know, so

438
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.039
a lot of people, I know, you know, they just

439
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:39.680
react different. So but uh yeah, exactly so. Kind of

440
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:42.119
to wrap this part up, though, what what do you

441
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:47.039
wish people would remember about your dad, not just as

442
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:48.599
a researcher, but as a man.

443
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:54.559
Uh? That he genuinely loved and cared for folks. At

444
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:58.160
the end of this he wanted he wanted to have

445
00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:03.160
something that helped people the best he knew how, and

446
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.680
he really he almost wanted it to be something of

447
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:10.759
like a therapy for people to understand it's like, hey,

448
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:16.119
this thing is exist. What your experience was like, you're

449
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:20.799
not crazy, and what your experience and what you went through,

450
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.920
it doesn't define you. And you can go back in

451
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:28.000
the woods and it's okay. You don't have to just

452
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.640
live in fear and you don't have to just think

453
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:36.960
you're nuts. That's what I want people to actually read like.

454
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.319
That was his his goal and his dream, and then

455
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.240
he quickly realized that he couldn't He couldn't answer every

456
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:48.240
and he was so successful, he couldn't answer every email,

457
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.079
he couldn't answer every phone call. He could, he would

458
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.440
have to kind of mass do it. And I think

459
00:28:55.559 --> 00:29:00.440
that that just goes to the the legacy that he had,

460
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.400
but also to the fact of so many people were

461
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:09.240
having these experiences and this guy was coming on and

462
00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:12.960
validating what they had seen and what they had felt

463
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:16.440
and what they had heard by just talking about, hey,

464
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:19.200
here's what happened to me in the woods today while

465
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:21.640
I was doing some research, and I've had this happen

466
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.880
and people were like, yes, that's happened to me too.

467
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:29.279
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Man. It gives me some ideas.

468
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:34.880
I'm just saying absolutely, because that's how my mind works.

469
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:36.000
You know.

470
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:39.279
I'm a veteran. We've talked about this, and one of

471
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.119
my things was, for years i was what's called a

472
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.720
peer support specialist, and I've had encounters. I've had class

473
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:48.799
two Class A encounters and there was two of the

474
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.079
most scary experiences of my entire damn life, and they

475
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:55.920
were traumatizing. So I get it, and I always put

476
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.960
it out there. I try to like, if you need

477
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:03.160
to talk, if you need to talk, don't hesitate to

478
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.920
reach out. Man. I'm just saying so, I feel like, yeah,

479
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:09.359
I always felt like your dad was that kind of guy.

480
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:14.640
So absolutely, and he and and people. The cool thing

481
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:18.599
is is people around the area that know where I

482
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.599
work will even come into work and be like, you know,

483
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:23.279
I got to go hiking with your dad and he

484
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:26.759
just made me feel not crazy, like he listened to crazy.

485
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:30.720
Yeah yeah, yeah, And we're talking just regular old dudes,

486
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:34.240
you know. Not genuinely like not crazy people, just regular

487
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:37.359
human beings Like, yeah, man, I had this and dude,

488
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:39.960
your dad was just so calm to me, just listened

489
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.440
and all that, and we we got to go on

490
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.880
those hikes together and and and Dad would do that

491
00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:50.160
and it it was good like he actually got to

492
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:52.799
got to speak to some people's lives. And I love

493
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:53.440
that about it.

494
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:59.000
It's so cool. So shifting gears just touch David Pilate's

495
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:03.640
was recently and Joe Rogan And what was your reaction

496
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:04.440
when you heard that?

497
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.799
Man, Uh, you know, I'm gonna, you know, a little

498
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.400
bit behind the curtain. I'm sitting here and I get

499
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.359
a d M from you saying, hey, your dad's been on.

500
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:18.200
So I'm like out here hanging out with the kids,

501
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:20.839
start jumping on the trampoline. I'm not really paying attention.

502
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:24.400
I think I'm like like making some food. And I

503
00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.279
get that DM from you, and I'm like, holy crowd.

504
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:30.759
You know, I go, I'm I go kind of nuts

505
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:35.200
about it, texting people like you know they do this.

506
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:42.519
You know, I think it's pretty insane to have to

507
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:47.559
have someone you know, three years after your death and

508
00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:51.000
they're still talking about you on the largest podcast in

509
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.599
the entire world, and they say your name, I am

510
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:57.880
blown away, honored, all the all the good things. Man,

511
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:03.160
it was, and then humbling because it's like, whoa, that's

512
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:07.440
you know, you start the enemy tells you that, eh,

513
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.480
it's no big deal, it's all in your head all

514
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:12.680
that stuff. And then it's like, well, no, it's still

515
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.440
Dad is still thought of it. It's pretty wild.

516
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.880
Yeah, So, I mean the Rogan experience, Joe Rogan experience

517
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:24.880
just on YouTube. This doesn't include audio or anything else.

518
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:29.599
Almost twenty one million subscribers, right, and we both know

519
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:33.559
YouTube and that's wild. Like I've got shy of eight

520
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:35.240
thousand subscribers and I'm like.

521
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:39.759
You know, then you because it's hard, yeah, dude, it's

522
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:40.880
hard to even get there.

523
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:43.839
Yes, man. But with that being said, this happened two

524
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:46.799
weeks ago. It wasn't even two weeks. It's close to

525
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:50.960
two weeks. Two million views on that, just on that,

526
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:54.960
and that's the full that's the full episode. That doesn't

527
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:58.279
count the clips. Like the clips. There's a couple clips

528
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:02.640
that have three million views, you know, and so and

529
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:05.440
one of them was talking about your dad and he

530
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.359
you know, talking, uh, he talked about Scott taking him

531
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:15.599
into the area of the Great Smoky Mountains and they

532
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.680
were where your dad had collected evidence, and what can

533
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:23.960
you share about that location or that period of research,

534
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:25.480
Like how wild was that?

535
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:31.279
So uh so that that place that he's talking about

536
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:36.599
the Great Smoking Mountains and whatnot, it's actually extremely well

537
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:42.559
known trail, very very I mean, if you're going up

538
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:45.640
to Cade's Cove, you pass it all the time, so

539
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:52.400
it's not an unknown trail. Dad, Dad just all Dad

540
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:54.480
did is he went on that trail and then just

541
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.759
went off trail for about one hundred yards and and

542
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:02.720
followed one of the the back country trails is is

543
00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:06.440
if for those that know where those are, those are

544
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:10.239
marked by trail rangers and and whatnot. But it was

545
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.400
one of those back country trails that he walked, but

546
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:19.159
you know that was there. And then another spot was

547
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:24.440
literally where I'm buried Dad, which is literally ten minutes

548
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:30.440
right down the road right and you know those those spots,

549
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:33.760
especially where I buried Dad, you know those spots have

550
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:38.760
some really wild things happening there with multiple people. But

551
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:42.559
and if Joe Rogan ever wants to come buddy, come on,

552
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.519
like he said, oh, we'll get some duct tape of stuff.

553
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:52.280
I'm like, come on, I wondered if that appearance has

554
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.079
brought any like new people to Scott's research.

555
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:59.320
You know, I think I think it definitely has. There's

556
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:03.400
there's been a little bit of an uptick, and a

557
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:07.039
good YouTuber would take advantage of that. I am not

558
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:07.960
a good YouTuber.

559
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:09.760
I think we're gonna I think we're gonna give you

560
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:14.119
a hand to But either way, one of those things. So,

561
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:16.719
and this is a little controversial, but I'm gonna ask

562
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:20.599
it anyway. Did you do your dad respect David David's work?

563
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:24.679
David Pilate's yeah, one thousand percent.

564
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:28.159
And was there what did he think of? Like was

565
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:33.119
their overlap between Missing for one one phenomenon and Bigfoot research?

566
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:38.719
Dave and Dad were incredibly good friends. Actually they were

567
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:43.159
very good friends. Dad was a huge fan of Missing

568
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:49.960
for one one And absolutely Dad and and and it

569
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:53.239
is controversial. A lot of people, a lot of people

570
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:58.960
are don't really want to buy into the Missing Phone

571
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:01.719
one because they don't want to think that Bigfoot could

572
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:05.599
be nefarious in some way. And that is a very

573
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:12.960
controversial take that. Dave Plotti's whatever, And I love Dave

574
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.559
with all my heart text them, text him yesterday.

575
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:18.440
And he never really comes right out and says it correct.

576
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:24.480
He doesn't say it, but well he he almost He

577
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.079
leads you to that conclusion pretty hard. He doesn't shove

578
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.559
your head in the water, but he sure puts your

579
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:34.320
nose right to it. And I love Dave because he

580
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:38.119
never wants to be accused of saying bigfoot are taking people.

581
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:41.280
But he doesn't. He's going to lead you to that.

582
00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:45.159
He's going to lead you to that trough and you know,

583
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:49.199
but at the same time, you know he he will

584
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:51.360
do that, and he gives you He lays out that

585
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:55.800
evidence and he shows you what's really really weird about

586
00:36:55.880 --> 00:37:01.280
all these different missing persons, and that is something to

587
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:06.199
pay attention to. That is something to think about. And

588
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:11.480
and it's really really really interesting stuff. But Dave Flay's work,

589
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.760
I do really really enjoy it. Dad and Dave were

590
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:21.119
were very, very close. Dave was one of the first

591
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:24.480
human beings that, uh that I had I told when

592
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:27.239
Dad passed away, and he made sure me and my

593
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:28.440
sister were taken care of.

594
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:33.280
Awesome. Yeah, he seems like a good dude. I just

595
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:35.880
I've never met him hate but.

596
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:39.840
Yeah, and and Dave. And you got to think about

597
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:44.199
this too. Dave is every single bit of an old

598
00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:48.159
school police officer. He is not a warm and fuzzy guy.

599
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:53.760
That's not who Dave is and day and I feel like, like,

600
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:57.280
so with that Joe Rogan experience, I felt like it

601
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:01.440
was very you know, I felt a very very gritty

602
00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:04.880
between those two because Dave is not going to necessarily,

603
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.199
you know, his big thing is he's not going to

604
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.880
say it's sasquatch. He's not going to say it's this,

605
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:13.239
and Joe is wanting him to say it what he

606
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:15.800
thinks and they that's not what Dave's going to do.

607
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:19.599
Dave's just going to lay out evidence and that kind

608
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:23.159
of that kind of created a little bit of grit.

609
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:26.320
I don't know if other people felt that in that interview.

610
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.519
Yeah, no, I mean there's a couple of times where

611
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:33.880
he definitely was like pushing forward with stuff and then

612
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:37.559
you could feel Joe kind of get nervous and like

613
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:41.119
right push back at touch, and then Dave was like, well,

614
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:44.960
you know, it just is and you know, and especially

615
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:47.400
when he stared talking about the DNA and stuff.

616
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:51.840
Oh my god, when when when Joe, you know, when

617
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.280
he does. He's way out of his league when he

618
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:57.880
just reads the Google AI and I'm like, dear God, Joe,

619
00:38:58.000 --> 00:38:59.599
you're you're way out of your depth.

620
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:00.400
Man.

621
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:05.039
Yeah, because you know not to not to shamelessly flug

622
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:09.320
a book. You know, the truth denied in this It goes.

623
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:14.199
There's chapters upon chapters breaking down how it was not,

624
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:20.360
how it could not be contaminated with humanity. Like the

625
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:25.559
whole point was it is human, it's not, and it is.

626
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:31.280
They even sent it to other labs blind. Yes, and

627
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:34.519
this is not something you talk about because things have

628
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.480
not been totally put out there. If you don't dig

629
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.320
into it yourself, you're not going to see it that book.

630
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:43.159
What I love is your dad's series of videos that

631
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:46.400
he did on YouTube where he basically went through every

632
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:47.440
chapter of that book.

633
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:51.760
So yes, it's like Dad did such a great job.

634
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:55.119
But just just to answer that there, I'm looking at

635
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.400
thirteen different laboratory like Dad tell like it he hits

636
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.000
when I say wildly deep into this, it gets wildly

637
00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:10.480
deep into this. There's thirteen different laboratories that Dad that

638
00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:14.559
with all the DNA was sent to. He lists what

639
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:18.239
type of DNA testing was done, and then he tells

640
00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:19.960
you if it was a paid if it was a

641
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:24.320
blog study, did it have authorship, what was done? Like,

642
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:27.840
it's not just oh we we you know, oh we

643
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:31.400
looked at it under a microscope. It's insanely lots of

644
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:37.599
stuff done. It's Uh. That's the frustrating part is is

645
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:41.000
when is when people were like, oh, it was just

646
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:45.000
contaminated or just bad bad science, It's like that is

647
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:49.559
absolutely incorrect. And like Dave said, it's like that answers

648
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:50.199
for dummies.

649
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:53.800
Yeah, I look at people straight up and go, that's

650
00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:56.960
a lie. That's it. Yeah, I'm not saying you're lying.

651
00:40:57.239 --> 00:40:58.800
I'm saying that's a lie.

652
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:03.559
Yeah, exactly that you know, to say it was contaminated,

653
00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:08.719
that that that's it's an impossibility in a lot anyway. Yeah,

654
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:11.000
but I could bore people with DNA.

655
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:13.679
But I right, no, I know, And and I urge

656
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:17.719
people to watch the videos I'll put I'll put obviously

657
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:20.519
the links to some of this stuff. Plus check out

658
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:24.400
your your my You were on my show once before

659
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:26.760
and we talked pretty extensively.

660
00:41:26.840 --> 00:41:29.079
We we we got pretty deep into that.

661
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:31.239
Yeah, so check it out, check out the DNA. We

662
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:34.679
also talked about less Stroud quite a bit in some

663
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:39.199
of those experiences, and that's just wild man.

664
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:45.039
And uh less Stroud having that to do a little

665
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:48.119
quick fly by Less Stroud had a supernatural experience while

666
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:51.599
he was down here. And uh, like I said, yuh

667
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:56.639
straight out, straight up mind speak. If if Joe Rogan

668
00:41:56.960 --> 00:42:00.360
wants to come down here, I'm not saying and you'll

669
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:05.360
get mine spoken to. But all I'm saying is people

670
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:08.000
people have been how's that?

671
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:13.519
Yeah, no kidding. So we're gonna start shifting here. But

672
00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:17.480
do do you feel pressure to always talk about Bigfoot?

673
00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:20.480
Or do you or do you want your platform to

674
00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:21.880
be broader than that?

675
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:26.920
Obviously you know that's a great question. I would love.

676
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:29.719
I do feel pressure to talk about Bigfoot a lot,

677
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:34.159
but I do feel like it's there is a shift happening,

678
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:38.360
and I really think that it's a good shift. Dad's

679
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:41.159
one of Dad's last books was A Nephelum among Us

680
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:45.880
and all I have seen start up and talk about. Yes,

681
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:50.119
that one right there, that is actually yeah, dude, actually

682
00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:51.840
that is my favorite book of his.

683
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:57.760
Well, he talks about dog Man. It's terrifying, dude.

684
00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:01.119
Yes, So he talks about like every thing. Yeah, and

685
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:05.800
he lays out the why. The he connects the big Foot,

686
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:11.119
the the the DNA, everything in that in the Nephilum

687
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:15.960
among us and puts that all together and gives theories

688
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:20.079
and all that, and it is extensive. And I think,

689
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:23.840
you know, when I look at geopolitics, which you're into,

690
00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:25.840
when I look at things up that and when I

691
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:30.239
see people like Tucker Carlson talking about Mephilum and Genesis

692
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:34.239
six and and when I see Sean Ryan talking about it,

693
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:37.960
when I see that stuff, I'm like, I need to

694
00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:41.559
and I want to get in that sphere and be like, hey,

695
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:45.639
here's what's up. They do exist, here's the DNA evidence,

696
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:50.519
here's the why, and they might be in your backyard.

697
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:53.280
It's the crazy thing to think about. So that's where

698
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:57.280
I would love to like shift. But I think the

699
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.239
you know, the Bigfoot thing is where everybody's still wants

700
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:02.800
to stay at. And I'm and I really want to

701
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:05.159
be in this Nephilon game of like we're over here,

702
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.400
you know, come come over here, you know, but you

703
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:10.599
know you have to kind of meet people where they

704
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:11.039
are too.

705
00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:15.320
Yeah, So so give specifics. What topics do you want

706
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.079
to explore more that people may not expect from you.

707
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:22.320
Man, I want I want to explore. I want to

708
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:26.760
explore the geopolitical nephyla angle of people being.

709
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:29.199
That's my dam I love it.

710
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:34.320
Yeah, yeah, the geopolitical methylam angle. And then what to do.

711
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:39.639
I'm really into prepping. I think it matters. I think

712
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:42.599
that you know, I'm gonna I'm just going to shoot straight.

713
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:45.880
I think that we're going we're going down a path

714
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:51.519
of uh of globalism, of one world governance, and it's

715
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:58.320
and disclosure of aliens quote unquote of of of these nephila,

716
00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:02.679
these nephila and fallen angel beings, and people are not

717
00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:09.440
prepared mentally, physically, emotionally, economically for what is going to happen.

718
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:15.079
They are not prepared for that. And and I, being

719
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:19.599
a Christian, am I want to believe that we're going

720
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:21.840
to pre trib rapture out of here, buddy. I want

721
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:25.320
to believe that. But if I'm wrong, it's going to

722
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:30.840
be bad. What And I prepare for all those scenarios,

723
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:36.400
and I think people need to as well. And I think,

724
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:40.400
you know, I think when it comes to you know,

725
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:43.320
I'm really going to ruffle some feathers here, but I

726
00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:46.880
think when it comes to what's happening over there with

727
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:49.880
with Israel and net and Yahoo and the straight of

728
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.400
Hoorn moves and all that. I think they're setting up

729
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:59.800
for a major fake fake armageddon. I believe there's uh so,

730
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:03.159
so I love getting into that, but it but you

731
00:46:03.159 --> 00:46:05.880
can still take all that and take it back to

732
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:11.880
that right there, bloodlines the whys all this stuff, because

733
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:13.000
that does matter.

734
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:17.199
Yeah, for sure. It all linds back to the to

735
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:19.360
the enemy period.

736
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.519
That's that's exactly right. Is it is all enemy? It

737
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:25.599
is all it's all of that.

738
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:33.280
And is there a difference You're gonna like this one.

739
00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:37.159
Is there a difference between Travis Carpenter and te carp

740
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.760
or are they basically the same guys?

741
00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:46.199
Oh that's so that's such a good question, dude. So

742
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:49.840
it's getting to the point where they have absolutely meshed.

743
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:53.039
So t carp used to be this thing where it

744
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:58.079
was you know this online handle this this, you know,

745
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.960
this guy that would just talk about sports and he

746
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:03.519
talked about prepping and all that. That was that guy.

747
00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:07.280
And then Travis was the guy that you know you

748
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:12.719
saw at church and the friends knew. But now those

749
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.440
two things have really intertwined because the friends know you know,

750
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:19.559
they know about it. Now, I'll go to church and

751
00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:24.760
they'll just call me Teacarp, not Travis. And and it's

752
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:27.480
it's really intertwined in the and the two kind of

753
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:30.199
like you said, have become one. So if you see

754
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:33.400
me out in public or if you see Tea Carp, no,

755
00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:37.639
you are seeing me. That is who I am. I

756
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:42.400
do say what I think sometimes to my detriment. Yeah,

757
00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:47.039
but at the same time, at the same time, I'm

758
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.440
a normal I am a normal guy. I put my

759
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:54.400
pants on one leg at a time. I'll tell you

760
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:56.800
what I think. I go. I work nine to five,

761
00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:00.880
just like everybody else, and and I have the same

762
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:05.280
problems as everybody else. I have to spank my kids,

763
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.400
I have arguments with my wife. I have to apologize

764
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:11.480
to my wife for the arguments with the wife. You know,

765
00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:15.599
I forget you know, I'm just like everybody else. And

766
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:20.360
the cool thing about being in this position is Tony's

767
00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:24.840
just like everybody else. You're just like everybody else. And

768
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:28.320
the guys that try to put the character on that

769
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:33.639
doesn't that cannot last because you will become one of

770
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:34.039
the other.

771
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:39.719
There's an authenticity issue, or you can see it after

772
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:41.360
a while specially.

773
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:44.760
Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, So what do.

774
00:48:44.719 --> 00:48:47.119
You want to tea car platform to become over the

775
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:53.000
next few years? I, man, I would love you know,

776
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:55.880
I would love it for it to be something of

777
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.480
the of the effect of there's this uh, there's this

778
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:05.360
guy that does that talks and does bushcraft and all that.

779
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:09.440
And it's Bjorn bull Hanson I think is his name,

780
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:13.679
and I can't think of I can't pronounce it correctly.

781
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:20.400
But he does an incredible job. He's he's he's in Europe,

782
00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:24.840
like Norwegian or or whatnot. Yeah, and I love the

783
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:29.800
way that he talks about geopolitics, he talks about knives,

784
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:33.960
he talks about Viking culture, he talks about all that.

785
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:38.760
And I would love to do that. But then just

786
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:43.840
be who I am, man, So I like, like, I

787
00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:47.320
want to go up and do interviews with Dave Canterbury

788
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:52.000
or or Less Stroud and do that, or go shooting

789
00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:56.239
with whoever from Henry. You know, I just want to

790
00:49:56.320 --> 00:49:59.119
be to I actually just want to live my life

791
00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:02.400
and be a collectic and bring people along with it.

792
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:05.480
And will that turn a lot of people off? Maybe,

793
00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:10.639
But you know, I I think people are thirsty for

794
00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:17.480
genuine thought. You know, uh for genuine un not super

795
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:21.519
produced things like uh, you know, I'll sit and see

796
00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:25.320
you know, mister beast and it's it's so produced and

797
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:28.960
all that, and people just want to have someone tell

798
00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:34.280
you what they think be genuine and you know sometimes

799
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:37.760
just escape with you have your internet fire buddy and

800
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.480
uh and that's kind of what I would like to be.

801
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:45.199
Yeah. I just looked at that guy. I'm actually a following.

802
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:46.800
I didn't even know I did though, but.

803
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:50.960
See there you go, there you go. I want to

804
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:56.119
be that guy people follow they don't even know they follow. Okay,

805
00:50:56.360 --> 00:51:02.280
something like, yeah, he's a super cool guy. Beyonn is

806
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:03.199
it beorn.

807
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:06.599
Jarn Andreas Bullhansen.

808
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:10.719
Yes, I would love to have a very cool name

809
00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:12.519
like that, but Travis will have to do.

810
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:18.440
Oh man, what so.

811
00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:23.360
Great questions?

812
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:26.119
By the way, Yeah, thanks, I appreciate it. But I

813
00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:31.440
you know, sometimes I I have a lock up right now.

814
00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:39.000
So with with all these encounters right that that you've

815
00:51:39.039 --> 00:51:43.320
had throughout the years, with your dad running your dad's

816
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:47.880
h I don't know legacy after this and all this

817
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:52.519
is what what has being online taught you about people?

818
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:58.199
You know? Uh, being online when it comes to people

819
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:02.639
is people. The power of the power of love, the

820
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:06.400
power of people praying for you, matters and makes a

821
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:10.920
huge difference also to the fact of you can't let

822
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:17.320
and I had an amazing I had an amazing counselor

823
00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:21.000
you can't let that make you feel like you're better

824
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:24.039
than anyone else because you're not. You're just You're just not.

825
00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:32.599
You also can't get addicted to the attention. Yeah, and

826
00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:37.400
I think a lot of people do. So if you

827
00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:41.360
get if you post a video, okay, and you post

828
00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:46.559
a video and it gets twenty thousand views and three

829
00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:50.719
hundred comments saying Travis, you're awesome. We miss your dad.

830
00:52:51.119 --> 00:52:53.639
Don't get me wrong, I love that. I appreciate that,

831
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:58.320
But I can't read every every comment because that is

832
00:52:58.559 --> 00:53:02.039
toxic for me in a way of I start thinking

833
00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:05.639
I'm better than everybody else. My dad was better than

834
00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:08.599
your dad, and that's not the case. My dad was

835
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:11.480
just my dad. He was awesome, yes, but he's not

836
00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:15.000
any better than your dad. He's not. I don't want

837
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:19.960
you people to think that. You know, he is just

838
00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:23.880
this monument of a human being. Dad was a regular

839
00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:26.920
guy like you and me. Yeah, And the cool thing

840
00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:30.760
was is he had emotions. He had pain and suffering

841
00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:35.280
and all that stuff, and he made he made mistakes,

842
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:39.480
pretty big mistakes, and that's okay. And if you make

843
00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:42.239
a mistake in life, you could still overcome it and

844
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:46.079
it's okay. So you know, I kind of want to

845
00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:49.039
say all that. But what it's taught me about people

846
00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:53.400
online is people will say a lot of things they

847
00:53:53.400 --> 00:53:58.719
won't say to your face. But at the same time

848
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:05.719
is you can't online super seriously because you just you

849
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:09.039
just can't. Because because when I when I turned this

850
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:12.519
camera off, I still have to work in the morning,

851
00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:14.199
I still go put gas in the car. I still

852
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:18.960
got to do all those things. And I'm not saying

853
00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:23.880
this isn't real, But what I am saying is it's not.

854
00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:28.039
Sometimes it's not as serious as everybody likes to take

855
00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:30.039
it true.

856
00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:33.800
Oh my gosh, isn't that the truth? What does being

857
00:54:33.840 --> 00:54:36.000
in the woods do for you personally?

858
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:40.800
It is? It is still so therapeutic in a way.

859
00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:46.599
There was there was times in my life where I

860
00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:48.760
didn't feel like a man. I didn't feel like I

861
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:52.239
was strong, I didn't I felt like I was always scared.

862
00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:59.519
Being in the woods has been an area of testing

863
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:05.119
for me. And I like, I have to give it

864
00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:08.320
to I really have to give it to Dave Canterbury.

865
00:55:08.440 --> 00:55:13.320
He so after Dad's death, I was a shell of

866
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:15.800
my I was a shell of myself, just being real

867
00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:21.320
with you. I go up there to that class, and

868
00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:25.920
Dave he's in, he's down there, he's in the dirt

869
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:30.000
with me. Make it like making me do this, And

870
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:33.440
let me tell you, like when you're out there, when

871
00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:40.039
you're out there alone and you're there and and you're

872
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:44.320
sleeping under the stars in a shelter you've built, it's

873
00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:48.800
like okay, it like like, ain't no time to be

874
00:55:48.880 --> 00:55:54.440
scared anymore. There's just not And you know, I was

875
00:55:54.480 --> 00:55:56.679
able to do that basic class, and then I did

876
00:55:56.719 --> 00:56:00.760
the intermediate class, which absolutely kicked my butt. Got pushed

877
00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:06.000
to the to my absolute physical limits, and actually I

878
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:09.199
had to tap out because I overheated. When I say

879
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:15.039
pushed to my limits, I pushed to my limits. And

880
00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:20.599
and but yeah, yeah, let me tell you hydrate h

881
00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:24.960
Hydration does not mean hydrate the day of. That means

882
00:56:25.039 --> 00:56:28.800
hydrate a week before. Let me make that abundantly clear.

883
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:35.519
Salt is your friend, like like like don't be like,

884
00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:37.920
don't be like me and think, oh, I'll be fine

885
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:40.079
a day and a half before, don't do you'r you

886
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:44.599
won't be And I still And the incredible thing is

887
00:56:44.599 --> 00:56:47.800
I still talk to a buddy of mine, will Swain

888
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:52.719
Uh in England and he was my battle buddy that day,

889
00:56:53.159 --> 00:56:56.480
and him and I still talk and love on each

890
00:56:56.519 --> 00:57:01.599
other and whatnot, and and and it's kind of it's

891
00:57:01.599 --> 00:57:04.239
a pretty cool thing. But what the woods has done

892
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:07.880
for me is it has been an area of testing

893
00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:15.960
for me, for spiritually, emotionally. And I think that if

894
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:21.480
you look back biblically or historically, that is what the

895
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:23.599
woods in the wilderness has been is an area of

896
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:25.360
testing for a lot of people.

897
00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:29.000
Yeah, for sure. But I mean, obviously I know the

898
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:33.199
answer to this, but do you you think most people

899
00:57:33.239 --> 00:57:36.119
today are too disconnected from the natural world?

900
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:40.000
A thousand percent? Man? So here, I mean, here's a

901
00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:45.199
good example me the prepper, the outdoors and quote unquote

902
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:47.599
that I like to portray myself or I like to

903
00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:50.360
think I am. I get out to this area where

904
00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:53.800
it's five acres and it's like, what are the what

905
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:57.480
grass is out there? You know? This farmer knows every

906
00:57:57.519 --> 00:58:01.280
type of grass there is, and it's like well, I

907
00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:03.079
don't know what type of grass that is. Why do

908
00:58:03.159 --> 00:58:05.719
I even care? You better care because that's what the

909
00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:08.679
cows eat. And that's what I You know, things like

910
00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:12.679
that is people are way too, way too disconnected from

911
00:58:12.880 --> 00:58:16.079
things that they need to be connected that fifty sixty

912
00:58:16.159 --> 00:58:20.440
years ago their grandfathers were connected to like we are

913
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:24.519
way you know, uh, we are way too connected to

914
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:28.400
that thing, right there. True story, like I'm I'm there,

915
00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:29.360
I'm there with you.

916
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:33.679
Yeah, I love you. Know who Joel Saladin.

917
00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:37.760
Is, dude? Yes, Oh my god, he's like.

918
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:40.960
One of my idols. Man, Oh my god, I love

919
00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:41.360
the guy.

920
00:58:41.599 --> 00:58:44.280
I just got into it. I just got into them.

921
00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:47.719
Let me show you this. Oh my gosh. So I

922
00:58:48.079 --> 00:58:51.840
just bought his book and literally.

923
00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:56.199
Swear to you, just bought It's so good. Yeah.

924
00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:00.360
So if you guys don't know who Joe said it

925
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:04.519
is face Farms, look him up in Rigit guy is

926
00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:07.679
the guy's incredible. I will go to his farm.

927
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:10.480
Oh ya, No, I mean, because I mean you've gone

928
00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:13.079
to Dave and done some courses. You could do some

929
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:14.480
courses of Joel too.

930
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:16.199
And that's that's what I want.

931
00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:21.000
To shockingly affordable, shockingly affordable, like he could try ten

932
00:59:21.119 --> 00:59:24.519
times more, he could charge ten times more than he

933
00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:28.199
than he does, and he doesn't because he just loves it.

934
00:59:28.280 --> 00:59:33.239
And that if you haven't watched his uh documentary that

935
00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:36.119
He's died on Netflix, Man, you gotta watch it.

936
00:59:36.519 --> 00:59:39.880
You have to watch it. But h but the guy

937
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:44.639
so so just to just to absolutely derail the conversation

938
00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:48.719
about this, uh, Joe Slaton does this, Like he talked

939
00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:54.719
about that regenerative farming, and he talks about, like, here's

940
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:58.360
how disconnected we are. The chicken that you ate is

941
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:03.079
a genetically modified mutant of a chicken, like a Cornish

942
01:00:03.119 --> 01:00:07.960
cross doesn't exist in nature, and an angus beefcow doesn't

943
01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:11.800
exist in nature. Their genetic munitu Like like people think

944
01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:15.360
I'll talk about eating genetically modified meat, it's like you've

945
01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:19.079
been eating it for twenty years. Yeah, Like like I

946
01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:24.280
hate to be that guy, but but that's that's his point.

947
01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:26.280
And then when you start thinking about that, it's like,

948
01:00:26.360 --> 01:00:30.079
oh my gosh. And then he talks about the genetic

949
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:33.880
manipulation of pigs, how they're trying to find the genes

950
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:38.440
that don't that the stress hormones and take that out,

951
01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:41.239
and he even makes the leap of if they do

952
01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:44.239
it to pigs, then what will they do to us?

953
01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:49.719
Oh yeah, And he even makes that jump, And that

954
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:54.760
guy has fought. I love his fighting spirit and it's

955
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:57.719
the fighting spirit that I believe Dad had. It's like,

956
01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:02.679
hey man, I know this about this DNA, and just

957
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:06.039
like Joe's like, hey man, we need some freedom here.

958
01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:10.800
And I like that punching back, not taking, not taking

959
01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:15.400
no for an answer, being convicted and standing on those convictions,

960
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:20.559
which means you're not going to be like not everyone's

961
01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:25.199
going to like you. And Dad did it. And and

962
01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:31.039
you know, when I'm sitting there watching Joel and I'm like, yes, my.

963
01:01:32.599 --> 01:01:34.079
Dude, Yeah he's great.

964
01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:38.480
Dude, he is. He is awesome. And when when folks

965
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:42.199
like look him up, he's everywhere. He's incredible.

966
01:01:42.559 --> 01:01:45.880
Yeah. Two of my girls want to start like a

967
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:50.599
hobby farm because of that guy, and they probably will

968
01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:53.480
know they probably will, and and I'll be down in

969
01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:57.599
North Carolina right there with him. So I mean, yeah,

970
01:01:57.719 --> 01:02:01.639
it's uh, it's pretty amazing. And I luckily I was

971
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:04.960
smart enough as a as a dad. My wife and

972
01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:08.519
I were smart enough to expose them to like permaculture

973
01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:11.039
and a lot of that We were members of a

974
01:02:11.079 --> 01:02:13.280
CSA and we used to go work on the farm

975
01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:16.400
and it's like that. It's just like Joel's place. It's

976
01:02:17.079 --> 01:02:19.880
and they've been doing this stuff for thirty years and

977
01:02:19.920 --> 01:02:23.360
they're all just like wilted flower children hippies, right, But

978
01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:26.159
at the end of the day, man, they know there's

979
01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:33.800
stuff and how to grow everything and raise everything from

980
01:02:34.679 --> 01:02:38.119
you know, guinea hens. The It was just amazing, you know.

981
01:02:38.719 --> 01:02:42.760
So so luckily I've got two of my four girls

982
01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:45.800
really want to start a farm.

983
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:49.280
So do you want to know how important this is?

984
01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:53.440
So in my in my business for those who don't know,

985
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:55.719
Like I make glasses, I work for one of the

986
01:02:55.800 --> 01:03:00.239
largest companies in the world that makes classes. So I

987
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:03.440
get to I get to talk to a ton of people.

988
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:08.400
One of my patients that I've been, uh, that has

989
01:03:08.519 --> 01:03:12.880
been for years and years and years, she's been my patient.

990
01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:17.559
She worked for Maryval College as a professor and she

991
01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:23.960
was a nutritionist. She now works for the University of Tennessee.

992
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:28.639
And about two years ago she really got into teaching

993
01:03:28.719 --> 01:03:31.519
people and she gets paid to teach people how to

994
01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:35.679
can and preserve their stuff. And I asked her, why

995
01:03:35.679 --> 01:03:42.599
did you do this? And she says, because our groceries,

996
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:47.840
our food supply will collapse. And we're talking about, you know,

997
01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:51.119
and we're talking about you know, things that I have

998
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:55.400
said or you know, just in passing because I'm some

999
01:03:55.519 --> 01:04:00.039
idiot on the internet. This person has a PhD and

1000
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:04.159
saying things like this, saying things that we cannot rely

1001
01:04:05.119 --> 01:04:10.079
on the food system anymore, like like it has to

1002
01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:15.280
be like we are responsible for our food supply, local farmers,

1003
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:20.599
local people. And when someone with a PhD says that that,

1004
01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:23.920
and you know, for lack of a better term, that

1005
01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:27.360
makes me makes me little concerned.

1006
01:04:27.760 --> 01:04:31.119
Yeah, I mean the average age of a US farmer's

1007
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:31.760
fifty eight.

1008
01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:35.840
We talked, yes, that and that is a huge deal.

1009
01:04:36.119 --> 01:04:37.239
That's a huge deal.

1010
01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:41.159
I mean, go ahead, Yeah, thirty eight percent of all

1011
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:43.400
producers are sixty five or older.

1012
01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:47.800
Yes, I mean, what what happens when they die off?

1013
01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:51.039
What happens when the boomer generation dies off? Everyone's like yay,

1014
01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:53.960
And then I'm like, okay, I get where they say yay,

1015
01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:58.239
But then who's gonna no what about the farmers? Yeah, like,

1016
01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:00.639
no one's taught, no one's taught anybody out a form.

1017
01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:02.960
I mean, it's it's all fine. And Dandy like, that's

1018
01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:06.360
that's cool, right. I just had this conversation with my

1019
01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:09.599
youngest today. I said, do you and she's one of

1020
01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:12.039
the ones I want to start a farm. So I

1021
01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:14.679
was like, do you want to live? Do you want

1022
01:05:14.679 --> 01:05:18.599
to work to live or live to work? And she's like,

1023
01:05:18.639 --> 01:05:22.599
what do you mean, dad? And I said, you know,

1024
01:05:22.679 --> 01:05:25.039
you have these goals and the stuff, but at the

1025
01:05:25.159 --> 01:05:29.800
end of the day, there's people that work to live

1026
01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:33.760
and there's people that live to work, And which one

1027
01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:37.480
do you want to be? And I think she it

1028
01:05:37.559 --> 01:05:40.000
clicked and she figured it out that she wants to

1029
01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:48.239
work to live, meaning grow your own food, take care

1030
01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:50.920
of yourself, do your stuff. And and so then we

1031
01:05:50.960 --> 01:05:54.400
got into a little bit of Joel and and what

1032
01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:58.440
I was saying is that back in my grandparents' day,

1033
01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:03.320
you know, eight grandparents who are all boomers and everything,

1034
01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:06.880
they had things called victory farms, and they had their

1035
01:06:07.079 --> 01:06:09.960
victory gardens and things like this where people would just

1036
01:06:10.440 --> 01:06:13.400
grow their own food. Luckily, I've been one of these

1037
01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:16.039
people that helped do that. I think, you know, we

1038
01:06:16.119 --> 01:06:20.239
have berries, We've got you know, stuff, we have stuff.

1039
01:06:23.519 --> 01:06:29.760
But these are skills that most people don't literally ninety

1040
01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:33.559
nine percent of people, ninety nine percent of people do

1041
01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:37.840
not know how to grow anything or what what would

1042
01:06:37.920 --> 01:06:39.920
you you know? They they don't even know where their

1043
01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:41.559
school comes from.

1044
01:06:41.320 --> 01:06:44.639
Right, like like, okay, you grow wheat, Well the.

1045
01:06:44.719 --> 01:06:46.639
Kind of animal am I eating right now?

1046
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:48.880
Yeah? But like they have no they have no they

1047
01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:53.119
have no idea. They're so disconnected to from their food

1048
01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:58.679
and they don't understand. They don't understand the effort that

1049
01:06:58.760 --> 01:07:02.159
it puts into it, that that that what it takes

1050
01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:08.440
and and whatever this is. You know, you go to

1051
01:07:08.519 --> 01:07:11.880
the grocery store, you go to the mall, and those

1052
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:15.639
are dying, but you go and you see this whatever

1053
01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:20.960
that is, and that abundance at some point that's not historical,

1054
01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:23.960
and that can't last. I'm just being real with you guys.

1055
01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:28.599
And when that happens, and and and and we don't

1056
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:32.159
know when that happens. It could be you know, uh,

1057
01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:36.760
you know, dead or or fan or you know, who

1058
01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:40.000
knows what's going to cause it. No one knows. But

1059
01:07:40.599 --> 01:07:45.079
what I'm saying is this era of prosperity of magic

1060
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:48.199
that we have here in the US, it is not normal,

1061
01:07:48.559 --> 01:07:51.519
and I don't think it's going to last. If you

1062
01:07:51.559 --> 01:07:53.280
look at the lens of history.

1063
01:07:54.159 --> 01:07:58.039
Yeah, I just don't see how it's sustainable. I don't

1064
01:07:58.039 --> 01:08:01.760
think so. Yeah, I mean there's all kinds of stuff

1065
01:08:01.800 --> 01:08:05.760
and it's probably not the conversation for this for the show.

1066
01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:09.639
So see that's yeah, you got to be talking about it.

1067
01:08:09.760 --> 01:08:11.519
I know. But I mean, at the end of the day,

1068
01:08:11.559 --> 01:08:14.559
I can just I can go down the you know what,

1069
01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:18.000
you know what these data centers are doing and what

1070
01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:20.399
it's going to force us to do as a country

1071
01:08:20.520 --> 01:08:25.000
when it comes to power generation, because it's all cascading

1072
01:08:25.039 --> 01:08:27.039
at this point, and.

1073
01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:29.720
So I'm going to ask you that question. They're talking

1074
01:08:29.760 --> 01:08:32.159
about it here, you know, you know exactly where I'm

1075
01:08:32.199 --> 01:08:35.680
at a marrival. Uh. They're talking about building an AI

1076
01:08:35.800 --> 01:08:38.960
data center in the Alcoa South plant. Well, they're talking

1077
01:08:39.119 --> 01:08:39.520
about it.

1078
01:08:39.600 --> 01:08:42.159
The reason is is you guys are power rich there

1079
01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:47.159
because yeah, so uh.

1080
01:08:47.760 --> 01:08:49.920
And they have that damn about your HOWWI just made

1081
01:08:49.960 --> 01:08:51.079
for Alcoa.

1082
01:08:51.079 --> 01:08:55.119
Exactly, so you guys are power rich. Another place that

1083
01:08:55.399 --> 01:08:58.319
is getting a lot of scent is uh and and

1084
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:06.720
or uh uh what's the word. They're getting a lot

1085
01:09:06.760 --> 01:09:09.920
of view. You know, people are looking at the Trump

1086
01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:14.159
is Southern Indiana, same type of thing. And it's because

1087
01:09:14.239 --> 01:09:17.119
they have like Excellon Nuclear is one of the large

1088
01:09:17.479 --> 01:09:20.880
They are the largest nuclear purveyor in the in the

1089
01:09:20.960 --> 01:09:24.920
United States, and they've got a whole bunch of plants

1090
01:09:24.920 --> 01:09:29.239
in Indiana. I'm just saying, So it's it's these things.

1091
01:09:29.279 --> 01:09:32.880
Another place is upstate New York where I live. We

1092
01:09:33.039 --> 01:09:38.840
have a Micron fab chip fab plant going in and

1093
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:43.000
I don't even think people understand the immensity of these places.

1094
01:09:43.079 --> 01:09:46.520
They don't get it because they've never seen anything like it.

1095
01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:52.520
I mean, we're talking about just in actual Micron. So

1096
01:09:52.640 --> 01:09:56.279
Micron is the name of the company's building here, just

1097
01:09:56.479 --> 01:10:03.560
the actual plant itself, not ancillar work, just the plant itself.

1098
01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:11.079
We're talking about nine thousand employees. Sure, that's company employees.

1099
01:10:11.720 --> 01:10:14.199
Now when we talk about ancillary work, we're probably in

1100
01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:20.560
the fourteen to fifteen thousand dollars at fifteen thousand people range. Now,

1101
01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:26.039
if even half of those people come from outside the

1102
01:10:26.159 --> 01:10:30.520
area to move here, think about what that does to

1103
01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:34.079
an area. I live in a town of sixty thousand

1104
01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:40.359
people outside of Syracuse, right, and it's going into my town.

1105
01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:44.079
Now that kind of looks cool for taxes and stuff,

1106
01:10:44.399 --> 01:10:47.840
But the infrastructure. Man, it can't handle that type of stuff.

1107
01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:52.640
So what I'm saying is, well, we have three nuclear

1108
01:10:52.720 --> 01:10:55.520
plants sitting on Lake Ontario that are about a half

1109
01:10:55.560 --> 01:10:59.239
an hour away from here. So power rich, right, that's

1110
01:10:59.279 --> 01:11:02.560
what they need. And water for all of these things,

1111
01:11:02.920 --> 01:11:07.159
chip flat plants and data centers, all of them same things,

1112
01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:11.000
you know. So this is another thing that you're going

1113
01:11:11.079 --> 01:11:15.079
to hear a buddy of mine, uh Kyle from the

1114
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:18.359
word the word at war, the word at word. Do

1115
01:11:18.399 --> 01:11:19.399
you know him, Kyle?

1116
01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:22.359
I don't, don't. You'll have to connect with him anyway.

1117
01:11:22.439 --> 01:11:29.560
Yeah, good dude, great Christian guy and whatnot. But he

1118
01:11:29.560 --> 01:11:33.359
he said it today and he's absolutely right. Just watch

1119
01:11:33.640 --> 01:11:40.000
the nuclear thing get spun up because it's the great

1120
01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:45.800
balancing act between the environmentalists and the people that want power,

1121
01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:52.840
because yeah, it produces. You know, there's there's issues, there's

1122
01:11:52.840 --> 01:11:55.439
inherent issues with it, right, but at the end of

1123
01:11:55.439 --> 01:11:59.800
the day, because they've played that carbon card so hard

1124
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:03.479
that if it can be carbon neutral or carbon negative,

1125
01:12:03.640 --> 01:12:09.600
then it oh, okay, okay, right, because we've proven renewables

1126
01:12:09.640 --> 01:12:16.039
are not other than hydro. Hydro is very good.

1127
01:12:17.119 --> 01:12:19.640
And we talked about it. It's shah, golly, we're getting

1128
01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:21.520
way down in the weeds with this, but we we

1129
01:12:22.399 --> 01:12:25.359
hydro is a big thing here being in the Tennessee Valley,

1130
01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:28.960
and we talked about like why is it hydro used more?

1131
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:32.640
And I said, well, the problem is is once once

1132
01:12:32.720 --> 01:12:36.359
you you know, uh domained Grandma's house, they don't like

1133
01:12:36.399 --> 01:12:40.000
TVA too much. You know that that's that's kind of yeah.

1134
01:12:40.039 --> 01:12:43.000
That that's why a lot of people.

1135
01:12:42.920 --> 01:12:47.800
There at all, plus who who knows everything, just because

1136
01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:50.199
of TVA and all the other stuff. And you've heard

1137
01:12:50.239 --> 01:12:52.479
all the horror stories and not not all horror stories,

1138
01:12:52.479 --> 01:12:56.720
but really cool stories about weird ship that was buried

1139
01:12:57.039 --> 01:13:02.079
in essence dude, like crazy, right, So getting back into

1140
01:13:02.119 --> 01:13:07.319
the high strangeness, man, that that's conspiracy central right there.

1141
01:13:07.359 --> 01:13:11.800
Brother, See that that's the the wild thing is is

1142
01:13:12.239 --> 01:13:16.319
where we moved you know where we moved here When

1143
01:13:16.359 --> 01:13:18.680
you start looking at it and it's like, whoa we

1144
01:13:18.760 --> 01:13:21.960
moved to like one of like the centralized area of

1145
01:13:22.199 --> 01:13:24.039
high strangeness of high things.

1146
01:13:24.039 --> 01:13:24.800
Oh yeah, buddy.

1147
01:13:24.800 --> 01:13:28.560
And I'm like, dude, I could. I didn't know I

1148
01:13:28.600 --> 01:13:30.600
was in it, but I'm deep in it now.

1149
01:13:32.199 --> 01:13:34.760
This is how I keeps paying my wife, and I'm like, hey,

1150
01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:37.560
do you know how good this would be for my career?

1151
01:13:38.439 --> 01:13:40.680
It'd be I'd be it would be pretty awesome. Let

1152
01:13:40.680 --> 01:13:42.079
me just tell you it'd be pretty awesome.

1153
01:13:42.840 --> 01:13:45.319
I mean, plus a bunch of my buddies. Man, I

1154
01:13:45.319 --> 01:13:48.079
got you, I got Doc, I got you know, you know.

1155
01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:56.680
Uh uh and then uh oh god uh. I got

1156
01:13:56.680 --> 01:14:00.439
a buddy that actually moved down there from from Sarahcuse

1157
01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:02.920
down there. He was a Syracuse firefighter who's in the

1158
01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:07.239
area as well. But you know, there's other people. There's

1159
01:14:07.239 --> 01:14:07.520
a lot of.

1160
01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:10.520
People we can all we can all meet at Legends

1161
01:14:10.560 --> 01:14:16.760
and Lord Pizza, Legend Pizza in Madisonville, Tennessee. It's it's great.

1162
01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:19.640
Eddie's a up again. You're getting a shout out for me.

1163
01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:20.880
He's a great guy. I like.

1164
01:14:21.119 --> 01:14:24.119
I like the Maryville area so much that I tried

1165
01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:26.239
to get one of my kids to go to college there.

1166
01:14:28.439 --> 01:14:31.039
It's it's it's a good spot. It's it's it's a

1167
01:14:31.079 --> 01:14:34.640
good spot. It's about fifteen twenty minutes down the road

1168
01:14:34.680 --> 01:14:39.520
from where I'm at. I'm blessed enough to live far

1169
01:14:39.640 --> 01:14:41.680
enough away where I don't have to deal with the

1170
01:14:41.720 --> 01:14:44.840
Maryvale City taxes. Ye, close enough to be able to

1171
01:14:44.880 --> 01:14:45.439
work there.

1172
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:49.720
Yeah, for sure. So I mean, let's kind of head

1173
01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:55.239
towards wrapping things up. It's yeah, what what kind? Yeah,

1174
01:14:55.279 --> 01:14:57.680
I'll ask it. What kind of man are you trying

1175
01:14:57.680 --> 01:14:58.119
to become?

1176
01:14:59.199 --> 01:15:05.359
I'm trying to beco of a man that is more

1177
01:15:05.359 --> 01:15:08.000
and more. It's always going to be talking about Jesus,

1178
01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:11.600
just shooting you straight. There's no way of getting around it,

1179
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:15.960
because every everything, when it comes back to it, it

1180
01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:19.640
leads to that if you pull enough strings, it's going

1181
01:15:19.680 --> 01:15:22.600
to lead to biblical truths. It's going to lead to

1182
01:15:22.680 --> 01:15:27.760
those things. And I might not be the best I

1183
01:15:28.079 --> 01:15:32.880
know I'm not the best representation of Christ, but let

1184
01:15:32.920 --> 01:15:38.000
me make that very clear. But but when it, when

1185
01:15:38.039 --> 01:15:39.840
it comes right down to it, man, it's going to

1186
01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:44.039
be faith. Like I want to be someone that that

1187
01:15:44.239 --> 01:15:47.039
shows faith, that does that, but doesn't do it in

1188
01:15:47.199 --> 01:15:50.720
a Oh I'm gonna say this, and you might even

1189
01:15:50.760 --> 01:15:55.199
have to bleep me out in a wissified way. And

1190
01:15:55.279 --> 01:15:58.319
I'm saying that as nice as I possibly can because

1191
01:15:58.359 --> 01:16:02.560
the faith has been so neutered and I'm sick and

1192
01:16:02.680 --> 01:16:08.000
tired of that bull crap. I want to be a

1193
01:16:08.520 --> 01:16:14.079
guy that's going to tell you how it is physically, spiritually, emotionally, supernaturally.

1194
01:16:14.680 --> 01:16:16.359
And I want to be that guy that gets into

1195
01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:23.039
all that because because there's gonna just things are coming

1196
01:16:23.079 --> 01:16:26.199
that I believe that people are gonna want answers to

1197
01:16:26.399 --> 01:16:31.840
and hey man, I'm gonna have those answers. But to

1198
01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:35.079
answer your question, I just want to be a man

1199
01:16:35.159 --> 01:16:38.359
that takes care of my family, leads others to Christ,

1200
01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:42.479
and does it in the most wildest way that you know.

1201
01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:45.439
I have the coolest tool in the world, in my opinion,

1202
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:47.279
So I'm gonna do it like that the best I

1203
01:16:47.319 --> 01:16:48.439
know how for sure.

1204
01:16:49.239 --> 01:16:54.840
So when people strip away the last name, the bigfoot arguments,

1205
01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:59.920
the the online noise, right, and the shadow of your five,

1206
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:05.079
there's a legacy, right. Who is t carp really becoming?

1207
01:17:06.399 --> 01:17:10.680
Uh, He's becoming a guy that loves to spend time

1208
01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:14.600
with his kids, loves to fish, loves his neighbors. Is

1209
01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:18.000
so grateful for his neighbors who have no clue about

1210
01:17:18.039 --> 01:17:22.479
my online stuff, which is great. I love my neighbor

1211
01:17:22.520 --> 01:17:25.960
out in the backfield that you know, me and him

1212
01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:29.840
are going bear hunting this year. Nice. I love my

1213
01:17:29.880 --> 01:17:35.239
neighbor up there that for a year a year. Let

1214
01:17:35.319 --> 01:17:41.000
me borrow his tractor to to mow the property. I love.

1215
01:17:41.520 --> 01:17:44.640
I love ut football, I love calling and talking about

1216
01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:50.640
sports talk. I love spending time with my church family

1217
01:17:51.079 --> 01:17:54.520
and that and my actually people like at my church,

1218
01:17:56.199 --> 01:17:59.880
I love spending time with them. I love spending time

1219
01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:05.199
with my Travis love spending time with his employees. You know,

1220
01:18:05.239 --> 01:18:08.680
I've got three employees, and I cared deeply about them, right,

1221
01:18:09.199 --> 01:18:12.000
That's who. That's who I am, past all the other stuff.

1222
01:18:12.039 --> 01:18:14.920
If you take if you take Carpenter away, you take

1223
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:21.960
YouTube away. Relationships with people are what I close. People

1224
01:18:22.319 --> 01:18:26.880
are what I love. And uh, because this, you know,

1225
01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:30.279
the internet all that I do think it's going away.

1226
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:33.359
And you can't live on your last name forever forever.

1227
01:18:33.520 --> 01:18:35.359
You have to love. You have to you have to

1228
01:18:35.399 --> 01:18:36.760
be somebody. You have to love on people.

1229
01:18:37.079 --> 01:18:41.239
Yeah, man, true story, because without them, I mean, as

1230
01:18:41.319 --> 01:18:45.159
much as we'd love to be lone wolves, you need people.

1231
01:18:46.680 --> 01:18:49.399
When it comes to the prepping stuff. People think they're

1232
01:18:49.399 --> 01:18:51.640
going to be lone wolves. That's that's the biggest bunch

1233
01:18:51.640 --> 01:18:55.800
of horse maneuver ever. And uh, and you have to

1234

Everybody laughed. Everybody's all buddy kept his eyes on.

1264
01:20:52.079 --> 01:20:53.319
The timber, the line wall.

What's hiding in the woods.

1276
01:21:37.640 --> 01:21:41.640
He wasn't chasing fame, wasn't chasing last just truth in

1277

Keyboard cowboys, the city boy boys.

When the creek goes dealing something breeze. It be on

1284
01:22:02.079 --> 01:22:03.439

Some nos so ben easy, but.

1288

What's hidden in the woods.

Maybe it's fish, Maybe it's spirit, Maybe it's booth we

1297

1298
01:22:58.279 --> 01:23:00.479

To call my name, all lands back in Jesus' name.

They don't.

1303
01:23:17.279 --> 01:23:20.119
They don't wait a step up the trail over the

1304
01:23:20.239 --> 01:23:24.520
cold winds bow. They know your name, they know your fear.
