It started running away. And suddenly, they're right in front of the car. He slams on the brakes and manages to stop. He's skidding because of that point. you know, grabbling. And literally for about a second and a half, they just stood there because they don't know where to go. And you tell them, panic,

And now on with the show. I wanted to do a review episode. This week I'm going to be talking about the Bigfoot Influencers by Tim Halloran. I'm sure most of you have been able to get this book. We just read it for the Bigfoot Society Patreon Book Club. But if you haven't yet, you really need to get a copy of it. And I'm going to go over that. But first, we just talk for a few minutes.

I was able to meet Tim at CryptidCon down in Lexington, Kentucky this year. It was an awesome time. Really nice guy, super charismatic. The cool thing is that Tim is not originally into Bigfoot, his wife is. And, you know, through her enthusiasm, he was able to, of course, get into it. And then they got this idea to pretty much interview all these different influencers that are alive currently and make a fantastic book. I mean, I've talked to a lot of people over the last, you know, since early 2019. And there were people in this book that I haven't even that hadn't heard of yet or I hadn't been able to talk to yet.

it's very, very cool. The thing I love about the Hanger 1 publishing, which is, you know, of course, the publishing arm through Doug Hitchek from Monster Quest, but his books, it's really cool what they do, and especially this one here.

At the, you know, throughout the book, you're going to have these QR codes. And so, you know, it works good for our culture because, you know, we're going to have our phone next to us. and I'm a type of person where, you know, I like to be not just reading, but, you know, got to have the pictures.

And this is kind of like the modern equivalent of that. So, you know, let me see if I get an example here. So in the PNW Bigfoot Maps section, you can scan and see color images from PNW maps. Oh, one of the examples, and I won't give away the whole book, of course, but you know, you scan a barcode and maybe it's someone like Survivor Man doing an introduction. Maybe it's another, you know, person that's interviewed doing an introduction as well. It's very cool. You know, also it's not just about Bigfoot. He is asking questions, stuff I like, you know, that makes you.

feel like you're really getting to know the person like a question that's asked a few times is you know what's what music do you like to listen to what's your favorite musician that kind of thing and i i appreciate that as an interviewer that kind of stuff is very cool um bigfoot influencers book definitely needs to have a uh a second one come out i hope that's in the works we'll see fingers crossed uh the other cool thing is they you know big foot influencers they do a podcast on YouTube.

They also do live shows. And those are very interesting. They've got some great connections. They have some great guests on.

So definitely if you're listening to this, go over to just look up big influencers on YouTube and you can start checking that

out weekly as they come out with content. The other cool thing is that there are some really fun encounter.

stories in here as well. I'm thinking specifically about the Ron Moorhead chapter. There's an encounter story that he shared. And I mean, I never heard it before. And it was intense. It's very cool. So if anything, you got to get the book so you can read that encounter story. It's a very, very cool thing. The other cool thing I want to point out, or the important thing I want to point out, is that Tim genuinely cares about this subject. I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well.

And I can say that because at the end of CryptoCon, a group of us were able to hang out down in the bar at the hotel for about,

ended up being, I mean, I was there for about four hours. And there was a group of us talking. Tim was there. Mark, Alex and Eli, Mark Mercell, sorry, Alex Petacoff, Eli Watson. Scott was there. I'm going to miss names. Jeff from Strange. Allie G. was there.

Steve Barcello, I believe, was there. Just a lot of cool guys. Jonathan Dodd. If I forgot your name, I apologize. I know I'm forgetting someone. But it was a cool time just hanging out. Seth Breelove was there for a bit. And, you know, we were just talking shop about.

bigfoot stuff and it was just it was cool to listen to Tim talk to to other people and to realize that yes he absolutely does care about this subject this is not just a guy who is writing a book where you know he's trying to to cash in and cash out you know this is a guy who genuinely loves the subject and is making a resource that if you care about bigfoot at all you need to have this on your shelves. It is no questions asked, absolute must buy. So I'm going to have the link to this in the show notes. If you haven't gotten a copy of the big foot influencers, you need to get it. He asks some tough questions in there. He gets some great answers. He's got interviews in there with like people from David Ellis, Dr. Meldrum, all over the place.

Photos, videos, good stuff. So you definitely, definitely need to check this one out. I will say the most important thing I got from the book was being introduced to people that I didn't that wasn't really aware of and apologies if you're the person whose name about to say and you're listening to this I appreciate you listening to it but uh I'm still learning so I wasn't

involved I wasn't aware really of people like Mark DeWorth or Carlos Jimenez or Richard Noll and hey, that's just because I'm learning.
