It looked like somebody was bent over and had their head in the window of the deer blind. It either heard me or smelled me, and he pulled his head out of the tent and stood straight up. That shocked me. They don't make people that big. The way it moved, almost as if it was gliding across the beach. I've never seen anything moved like that in my life. They were screaming at each other in gibberish. It sounded like a language, and they were chumtering away, back and forward, back and forwards, back and forward.

I know what a bear looks like, and there is no way on this planet of what I saw were bears. What's going on now, sir? That son of a bitch is about six foot nine, I don't know. Do you see him now, sir? Yes, I'm looking right here. This is Paul McDonald from Vancouver, British Columbia, and you're listening to Sasquatch Chronicles. Well, I want to welcome everyone to the quarantine trivia game, 2020. And we got a big audience here.

And I know we have Bobo coming up pretty soon from Finding Bigfoot and as well as his podcast, Bigfoot and Beyond. And Tony Merkel is his challenger from the confessionals. And we got a bunch of celebrities in the audience. Let's go down and talk to one of them. Bingo, how are you, man? Oh, man, I'm great, Wes. How about you? I'm doing well. I'm doing well. I know you were a part of the trivia game, and you were kind of king of trivia, and you're retired now.

Do you have any advice for the guys? I'm pretty sure that if, and this is just my guess, if the questions have to do with Habitat and things like that, I think Bobo might have the edge on that one. And the questions have to do with, you know, who is the first one to report about? Bigfoot site in California, things like that, you know, y'all are the research, I mean, you're all the podcasters, so you'll have to research that information. So I'd go with Tony if it was that type of question. But my advice would be, like when you ask me, you ask me something, where was the first reports of the Chupacabra? And the first thing that popped into my mind was my answer, and it was correct. So that would be my advice for them,

just to go with whatever pops into their mind first. If they don't know, if they're not sure about it. Kind of go with the first, first idea. Is it what you're saying? Yeah, first idea. Whatever pops in the head, go with it. Well, I don't have a lot of questions about cheese, so I think Tony Merkel might be in trouble tonight, but we'll see.

We'll see. It's going to be Bigfoot and general knowledge. So it's not just Bigfoot tonight. It's going to be general knowledge, too, as well. Bingo, it's great to see you, man. I see Tony Merkel making his way in right now, and I'll let you take your seat. But thanks for being here, man. Oh, yes, sir.

he actually called out the champ, the retired champ. We're going down now ringside with Bingo to get his reaction. Bingo, he saw the match. He saw how Bobo destroyed Tony Merkel. in that game.
