Hot dog.
Our podcast slams with maximum hype.
Say hot dog podcast, word.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When you taste that nitrate power,
you're in the dog zone for an hour.
Come on.
You know the number.
One nine hundred.
One nine hundred hot dog.
One nine hundred hot dog.
One nine hundred hot dog.
One nine hundred.
One nine hundred hot dog.
One nine zero zero zero.
Yeah.
Nine thousand.
This here is Dogs 09000,
the official podcast
of one nine hundred hot dog.
America's last comedy website.
I'm Dan Gumm, Robert Brock Wayne,
Dan Gnabbit. Is that Sean Baby over there?
Yee-haw.
Bigfoot Trapper and Saka Kandashan Baby
from the internet.
Well, that's not it here and there.
And our guest today, Colin Sarnadol.
It's Jason Parjan.
Now, what happens if somebody is listening
for the very first time
and they're going to think this is the show?
Welcome.
That's the problem with doing a bit
at the start of an episode,
is that you've always got certain new people
who've been talked by friends in the listening
and this is what we greet them with.
Especially since this bit,
this bit will not be explained until we get into
what the podcast is actually about
and we're not doing that yet.
We've got like 30 minutes of banter before we even get there.
But here's the thing.
I've got to be bored if I don't do this shit
and then I'm not going to want to do it anymore.
So that's really my...
Back to a previous point of Suck It.
Yep. I had pretty much,
pretty much Suck It.
Suck It fans and loyal...
You don't see Joe Rogan doing a voice
at the start of his show.
That's a good point.
I try to live my life by the example set
by the great Joe Rogan.
I do have some extensive Joe Rogan
templates here for the podcast
and I shoot right.
I'm eating a raw testicle
shooting up just a touch of human growth hormone.
I'm just asking questions
is what I have written down here.
Can I have another raw testicle
from a fucking yak?
I don't care.
It's a snack on.
But you make a good point, Jason.
We are the official podcast of 1900 Hot Dog.
We have a Patreon,
which is how we pay our talented contributors
like Lydia Bug and Tom Reiman
and Alex Schmidt and Brenda McGinley.
If you're under 30, it's a website.
People are still making those.
We're still doing websites.
World Web website.
It's on your web browsing app
on your phone.
You probably still have one of those.
I think they come bundled.
Open your
Dermis template
and cyber lookup.
I don't fucking know.
Jason, welcome to the show.
You're upcoming
if this book exists during the wrong universe.
Pre-order now
is available pre-orders.
Thanks for coming on the show.
Still this plug?
It's our best intro.
Yes.
What's the name of the book, please?
I only have that
as a source of income.
I write books and do nothing else,
but guest on podcasts.
Write books and do this.
My guesting on podcasts
is paid for by the surprising number of people
who do, in fact, go buy my books
after hearing me on these shows.
There's a lot of pressure
because I have to convey
in what I say
things in such a way that it makes me say,
I can read a whole novel
written by that person.
Can you give me something?
Say something that'll sell a book.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
His name was John Rambo.
I can describe it
a sex scene really well.
Okay.
Her moist one
had glistened in the sunlight
as she lay back
in the glistening.
Have I said glistening already?
Oh, okay.
You can stop, I've finished.
I need to hear about the junk.
I need to hear about the hog.
His glistening hog glistened
in the sunlight.
That is the hard part
is trying to, there's not that many words
that mean glistening in the English language
unlike French where there's over 200.
Yeah, there just aren't that many words.
I mean, there's only like
9 or 10 and you gotta make a whole book out of them.
Yeah.
I got my last book back from the editor.
His first note was you've used the word
succulent 268 times
by trying to find
something else.
It's like, well, but if his
engorged manhood is
in fact succulent
any other word
is going to convey less meaning.
It just won't do, it's racist.
Yeah.
See, I think you have sold a lot of books.
I think you did it.
I think you moved 15 units right there.
Jason, how you doing today?
With succulent many times.
Welcome.
Are you mad at anything or depressed
at the psychological pitfalls of mankind
at all? How you doing?
I've been sick all week.
Nobody cares about that.
The only way that affects
this podcast that I've taken
a lot of cough medicine before
coming on
to suppress the cough for the duration
of the show, when I
was in a teenager, everybody
told me that if you take enough cough syrup,
you would get high or whatever.
That never happened to me. I don't know if I'm buying
the wrong kind.
Oh yeah, it's the prescription stuff.
I mean, you can at store, at store bought,
but it's really like drink a whole bottle.
But if you can get that sweet
coding prescription stuff,
you can get fucked up on that.
You need that Joe Rogan mind enhancement.
It's a real slow fucked up too.
It's kind of like a
become one with the sidewalk fucked up.
It's fun.
That's the good kind.
That's the good kind.
Check it out. Check it out at a pharmacist near
you, kids.
That sounds like you're in a perfect
mindset
for what we're going to be doing today.
I got a question now.
Are you still productive when you're sick
or do you just fucking blow off everything?
No, I still I
write when I'm sick because my rationale
is that it's like, well,
I can either sit in a chair
and look at TV or I can sit in a chair
and type.
But
I don't know. I feel such panic
about deadlines
all the time that I wouldn't
be able to relax anyway.
So, yeah.
And I get a lot of people tell you this.
I get a lot of writing done because I don't have
the energy to, for my mind
to wonder. So, I actually
accidentally get locked in on what I'm
doing
and get a lot of words out.
Yeah, in the same way.
Yeah, I read a lot on this pop medicine too.
You're sick too, Rachel.
Yeah, yeah, I've been
pretty sick. Not COVID, nothing serious, but
sick enough.
It's not that.
And I'm sick and I wasn't perfectly
okay.
Well, congratulations.
So, it was on me to do this to the both of
you while you were sick.
And it was my pleasure.
This was not a punishment.
It wasn't a punishment for you, I guess.
See, I agree. I agree that this was
a great show that we're going to talk about.
First, let's talk in very general
terms.
Let's talk about Bigfoot.
How many times would you guys say
you have personally seen Bigfoot?
Like, is it one to three,
four to six, maybe seven
plus?
Well, I've not lived in the Pacific
Northwest like you guys have.
You've both lived in
right? You've both lived in Bigfoot
country. Yeah, but I mean
this show that we're talking about is
Appalachia. Bigfoot is everywhere.
Bigfoot is especially big in the Midwest.
Well, this was one of my questions.
I thought the Bigfoot legend was always
that it was a specific creature
that was seen in Oregon,
Washington, that, those specific
forests.
But I guess they turn up literally
anywhere.
Anywhere where a person might be drunk
in the woods and see
literally nothing and then tell all
the neighbors they saw a Bigfoot.
Yeah, I don't know about like if it's
if it's a lower
wise consistent that Bigfoot
are everywhere or if like
the reversion of this is Pacific
Northwest. I mean, there's the
abominable snowman too. I mean,
so there are parallel myths
that are running to
the Santa Cruz Bigfoot Museum three
times. So maybe I'm
the expert here.
So I think
I think that's Bigfoot country
is northern California.
Could be too. I wonder, but I wonder if
that's a, if that's originally
the myth said like it's specifically
the Native Americans that lived in this
area, you know, have this as part
of their mythology and then people just
you know, lunatics liked it so much that
we're like, fuck it, I got Bigfoot in Indiana
or if
if it was always there and I just don't know
about that.
Well, and I think there's an issue, there's
always been an issue with tourists
transporting big feet
out of those areas
into lands where they're not
active. And what a lot of people don't
know is they can't survive in a lot of
other parts of the country. And if they
do, they drive out the native
big feet, different species.
They become an invasive species. Yeah.
Sean, you said you've been to the Bigfoot
Museum three times. I have. Yes.
Because it's right next to them. Do they change up
the features a lot from one
to the next? No, it is like all dusty
70s memorabilia. So it's just like
every time Bigfoot showed up on TV in the
70s, they got like $6 million
in old Marvel comics, just
fucking random shit.
And we went there right after the guy
died who invented Bigfoot and he's like
on his death bed, he's like, yeah, I made all that
shit up. Sorry, dude. And so
we're like, how does that, how do you
reconcile that? And he's like, yeah, well,
I did today. He decided
he wanted to lie and he just
fucking talked. Well, that's a topic.
Enough people believed in Bigfoot, that Bigfoot
became real.
That's what I'm rolling with these days.
This is what I
don't know if a lot of listeners realize
because Bigfoot, I kind of
from the outside, you think it's this kind of this
goofy thing that is specifically
like this kitschy thing for museums
and t-shirts and it's just this fun
it's like, ah, Bigfoot, you know
but if you
go out into the internet
into the conspiracy corners of the internet
where I spend a lot of time
against the advice of your doctor
is a
hardcore almost religious
type of belief
and like I spend a lot of time posting on
there's a skeptics forum called the
International Skeptics Forum
where it's a bunch of people who think of themselves
as they're like educated, rational thinkers
and they kind of talk to
conspiracy people who swarm
in by the thousands
with, you know, talking about homeopathic
medicine and UFOs and
the moon landing was fake
and they kind of debate them and try to
make them adhere to some kind of logic
and help them kind of see
why, you know, there may not be
a lot of evidence to what they're claiming
and you would think
you would think that Bigfoot would be
something that only
some goofy like trolls would come in
and claim like, oh yeah, I caught a Bigfoot
one time and it's not
they are very passionate
angry people and like
their thread on that forum
which you could find it on Google
just the thread
on the famous 1967
Patterson Gimlin film, that's that video
clip every one of you listening has seen
of Bigfoot, the one video of Bigfoot
that thread
has over
30,000 replies
running back
over the last 17 years
since 2005
just the thread
of people verifying and arguing about the
authenticity of that clip
the Wikipedia page
for the Patterson Gimlin film is 10,000
words long
I don't think the Wikipedia page for World War
1 is that long
because of all of the different
books that have been written about it
and the competing experts in the different
factions of Bigfoot believer
and they're different like where they have
split with each other on
is it a hoax, you know, have they
done Bigfoot belief
a disservice by putting up this fake
video and all of the other people
claiming they have put a team
of scientists to watch that video
and has verified it cannot
possibly be a human
in a costume, it's basically impossible
even though it's clearly
it's clearly just a guy in like
a gorilla costume from a
from a party city store
I know you can see his watch but that just means that Bigfoot stole
a watch and he's figuring it out
he's figuring out time
there's an element of that type of debunking
I love so much where
I don't know if there's a term for it but it's like
you can sort of set a trap for kind of an idiot
to make them think they're smart
like you'll teach them something like oh see if you look at this
the way this elbow moves in this
in this Bigfoot
a human elbow can't move like that
and then you just drop a term like because a human elbow
is a partial
full rotational geometric
thing, they just drop fucking a term
and then this person now thinks they're
fucking elbow expert like they're the
elbow genius and so they know
what other people don't know
looking around to verify other stuff with elbows
yes so they can
look at this and know with just certainty
that they're the smartest elbow scientists in the world
and this can't be a human because
human elbows don't work like that and trust me
I know a thing
a liar told me about elbows
so Jason's out there like frequenting a skeptics
forum trying to talk to people
and Sean is out there planting idiot traps
so that they will be more of a problem
for Jason specifically
you see
marming the idiots I'm giving them guns
and sending them your way
but I don't know
I don't fully understand
because the show we're
about to talk about
it's not clear to me who that
show is for
because it's not for it's clearly
treating the subject in too
light hearted in a manner to be for the true believers
right
but at the same
time is it
I don't
know if it's
I don't want to say these people
are all stupid it clearly means
a lot to them that big foot be real
and to the point where some people have this whole thing
where they believe he's like some sort of a holy figure
from another dimension
and that he's here to teach us to respect
the wilderness or something
it's like some avatar of nature
I've heard that before
and that's why they've never found a big foot body
or bones or whatever
for example
if you google Bigfoot erotica
you'll find
an ocean of content
about where women have gotten kidnapped
from their campsites and then had
sex with Bigfoot
in a way that was actually very
pleasurable for both of them
and when googling this
Virginia Wade her 16
book Bigfoot erotica series
come to Bigfoot
has earned her $30,000
a month
on Kindle Direct
absolutely and worth it
every penny
I mean six grand of that is from me alone
yeah a loyal
avid supporter of all of her work
so Bigfoot
represents something to people that I
don't fully
understand because even if I saw
a real Bigfoot
I don't think I would care that much
I wouldn't devote my life to it
I would tell somebody
like if I knew they weren't going to believe me anyway
I would just like yeah I did see Bigfoot
I thought it was fake too but I did see one
but it wouldn't become my whole personality
because it was like well who cares
I'm sure scientists
would be interested but it's like how
do they manage to elude
humans for so long so we've only got
that one video clip
and you say well how'd that guy capture that
video clip oh he went out to the woods
to make a Bigfoot documentary
and just happened to perfectly
find one walking across
it was really easy
whereas in the era of cell phones
of ubiquitous high definition cell phone cameras
we've never matched it
we've never gotten the equivalent
even though they happily just go
loping across the field in front of people
well I don't think that's true
I think we can prove that wrong
with what we're talking about today
we're talking about mountain
monsters of course
it's a general monster hunting
show but especially
their early seasons they focused
entirely on the various
kinds of Bigfeet
you might not know that there are
many different kinds of Bigfeet but
you will soon
I was aware of Jason's
personal I guess not
but some sort of revenge
mission against Bigfoot
and I knew the absolute
dumbest reality show about Bigfoot hunting
that has ever been made
and it's wonderful mountain monsters is incredible
like they
it's specifically about
the Appalachian mountains
and about the hill folk that live there
hunting the supernatural
and is
somehow more ridiculous
than that sounds like that's how I would pitch it
as a joke but it's actually
more absurd than that
because there's a bunch of hunting
Bigfoot reality shows right
and to your point about them being
like this isn't one of the real ones
which is something that I waffle back and forth
on too I have a little section
I want to talk about that but
they do get in fights with the other
quote unquote
more serious Bigfoot shows
that see this and like start talking shit
about mountain monsters and mountain monsters
how fucking dare you sir
I'm out there every day hunting Bigfoot
like they have feuds
a couple of the dudes on this show
got more on that later because I did
see the on the Wikipedia page
for mountain monsters the finding Bigfoot
feud
I don't have like a big section
on that but they do fight with
at least finding Bigfoot
I thought there were maybe a couple more
that ghost hunting shows
just anybody sees this
and it is by far
the most ridiculous monster hunting show
they have like clearly
pre-filmed bits they have like an over
arching story that I love
so much and like
like all ghost
and monster hunting shows are just wildly
disrespectful of their audiences intelligence
but like mountain monsters
if it's trying to be real
is so boldly calling you a thumb
sucking dipshit for watching it
that like I don't know that they're trying to present
this as legitimate at all
like maybe most supernatural
reality monster hunting shows
are doing that and it sucks but mountain monsters
is like they've moved beyond
fleecing Bigfoot lunatics
and into professional
wrestling territory like as redneck
monster cavefabe
it's like a supernatural silk opera
but with
untrained actors and no plot structure
yeah I think
they're trying to use the
dipshit reality monster show
format to tell a story like a found
footage hillbilly
jackass supernatural
and if that's what it is
and I'm not saying I'm 100% but if it's
that's what it is I love it
I've only seen
you sent me one episode watch
in which we will get into but to
very brief overview
members of the team get possessed by
a psychic Bigfoot
that has psychic powers
I did not see any of this what you're talking
about where there's like more of these overarching
plot lines
or whatever
now one thing that I will say
has disappointed me when browsing
doing the research into this
and the research was I skimmed the Wikipedia
page for mountain monsters for exactly
three minutes
I saw on there that the oldest member
of the crew
passed away recently
Trapper
John Tice passed away
in 2019 of being
just old and probably living
in extremely unhealthy
Bigfoot reasons
well see this is my point
he passed away during the off season
for them
to come back with the first episode after he's
dead
and not do an episode about how he was
killed by a Bigfoot
that's a missed call for sure
criminal
to the point that I feel like they should be
sued for not doing that
he would have wanted that
if that's
not in his living will you can
assume he probably didn't have a living will
because he would have put it in there
his will
probably said I leave everything to my
sons and daughters or whatever
my bitch wife something like that
but whatever the doctor said he's lying
I was killed by Bigfoot
that's gonna be in my living will
I'm whatever
however I go
it's either cancer or cops we all know it
however I go
my obituary is going to say Bigfoot
but even if this guy
passed away from liver cancer
it would be difficult
to stage a scene in a doctor's
office where he's explaining
well you know what happened
was the tumors came
from his exposure to Bigfoot energy
specifically the liver
Bigfoot of Louisiana
the little subspecies
of Bigfeet
seen a lot of these cases in my time
and then pan over to the doctor
the doctor seven feet tall
covered in fur and then the camera shakes
and falls and it just cuts to static
oh
that take me two seconds to write
the perfect you mountain monsters
I love this
the first thing they say on the show is do not
attempt which I thought was so funny because
that's the that's the thing that
invalidates my theory a little bit that it's
professional wrestling
is the entire opening crawl
it's very convincing
because normally when you see that you're like
okay no I'm gonna absolutely do that
I think we all grew up like doing
jackass and pro wrestling but like these guys
are barely surviving like big footless
hikes through the woods you're like you really
maybe we shouldn't try what these guys are doing
they constantly look like they're about to die
yeah they almost die many many
many times and for
the record here's the opening crawl and it's
entirely do not attempt
the traps and procedures
the traps and procedures seen in this program
were developed by experienced
professionals bigfoot professionals
and should not be duplicated
before conducting any hunting or trapping
activities consult appropriate
authorities to ensure that your actions are
safe and legal and I just
wow that blasts a hole in my
theory that they're not trying to trick you because you
can't be this stupid since that entire
crawl is like so carefully worded
to be real yeah okay
for example in this episode we're
going to discuss they build
a trap for a big
he's a professional bigfoot trap artist
you should where there's you should hunt bigfoot too
but make sure the cops are cool with it
just a little bit of a
of a dent or a low area
in the the forest so they build like a little
bridge across and
then halfway across the bridge
there's a false panel that falls
through to drop to track the bigfoot
to scope into it
yeah of course because of course the bigfoot
would automatically take the man-made bridge
that they build now Jason
would it since you've only watched the one episode
allow me to enlighten you that this
is the format of the show
there is a two pronged
attack where there are the
investigators which are our main crew
and our trappers and every
episode well almost every episode
is a is a myth
busters like segment where they come up
with a trap
for a monster that does not exist
yeah and
I actually did put that together
having just seen the one episode I do
feel like I generally grasp
the the the concept
but the point is that
that is the one thing that the authorities
legitimately are scared people will do
which is like well there's
no harm in building a trap for a
bigfoot out there if I catch one fine
if not fine it's like no you're going to catch
a child hiking with their family
bigfoot child
they're gonna break their leg only a bigfoot
would fall into this trap
because they're they're making it seem like
this is by far the best way to catch a bigfoot
just throw together a very poorly made
poorly made trap the other thing
I do want to cite right now
there's a lot of accusations on the
Wikipedia page of people
accusing the show of being scripted
I'm telling you right now
I don't feel like this is scripted
just
I feel like I detect a lot of
improv here
I feel like it's kind of curb
your enthusiasm scripted where it's like
yeah I think they're scripted with a lot of room
yeah a lot of room
for these performers to breathe
I have a question about the disclaimer
did it say
for the audience to contact the authorities
before they go build their bigfoot traps
consult appropriate authorities
to ensure that your actions are safe and legal
so it does not say
it says before conducting any
hunting or trapping activities
consult appropriate authorities
so it is directly encouraging the audience
get out there
call your fishing game warden
call the local police
call the sheriff's department
I saw this on the show
that I could trap a bigfoot with a fake bridge
it just sounds like a real good time to me
you all do a license for that
like some sort of bigfoot license
is it bigfoot season
is it even bigfoot season
I'm just gonna go into the woods with my elderly
morbidly obese friends
a lot of guns
all seven of them
morbidly obese hillbillies
drop a few trees
on the verge of death just standing there
this show does celebrate
a lot of different body types
yes
I don't necessarily see in a Hollywood production
if they were to make a movie
about these guys
they probably would cast
people who are different
they would cast these wonderful actors themselves
why would you
mess with this magic
they are excellent actors
you're gonna have to indulge me for a second
as I try to articulate this
but they say at the start of the show
this could be the most dangerous bigfoot they've encountered
which for me shattered the fantasy
because
like in one way
these guys probably have
encountered many types of bigfoot
and probably more than one of the main
non-psychic kind of big feet
and they've been doing it for seven seasons
multiple camera crews and this is like the fifth show
about exactly that
and no one's ever got one on tape
and like people say you can't prove a negative
but I think maybe they have
maybe when you have 40,000 hours of the greatest bigfoot hunters
encountering bigfoot
and he's still like not there on the camera
you fulfilled the
basics of scientific proof
that's just my point and I know I'm talking a long time
but this all this that I'm saying hit me
the very moment he said
this is the most dangerous bigfoot we've ever encountered
like just a sledgehammer
of like oh well this is fucking stupid
I can't believe any of this
now they don't have it on camera
but often times there's a very good reason
see they do have
you're talking like most people
so you probably
assume something about these monster hunter shows
which is that it's like every other monster hunter show
where it's very nebulous
it's left up they never get it on camera
they don't like encounter the monster
they encounter a shadow
or they encounter noise
or it's just left like what was that
will we ever know
that is not what happens in Mountain Monsters
they are directly like
the crew is directly attacked by these monsters
just nonstop
throughout the episode are constantly
being personally mauled
by all of these monsters
now it's crazy that it doesn't show up on camera
since they all have cameras
but sometimes there's a very good reason
for that
like in this case
the bigfoot they're going after
is the Cherokee Devil
it's not just a bigfoot
it's a legendary bigfoot
because as the show will explain
there are different bigfoot tiers
and the reason he doesn't show up
on camera
is because you have to be alone
to see him
otherwise he does not manifest
from the spirit to the physical plane
so the big feet
in the monster hunter universe are
supernatural
oh there's all different kinds there's a sheep squash
it's a sheep
flavored bigfoot
and there's thunder
I think it's just called thunder man
who's like a lightning master
and they have to put together like a legendary axe
to defeat him
and the legendary axe is like hidden throughout
Appalachia
that's like a GI Joe 3 partner
I know it's great
fight lightning bigfoot
there's like a rival crew
of evil monster hunters that come into play
at some point and start sabotaging them
and leaving them like jigsaw like messages
about like
monsters they have to hunt
it's the best show
that's fucking great
so
the Sewell Kalu
I took some notes during the show
the Cherokee gave this psychic bigfoot that name
and he ate all their game
so if like the Cherokee were out hunting
and they couldn't find anything to kill
they were like oh it's that Sewell Kalu came
and killed everything which seems like a kind of a normal
folk legend like kind of a cute thing you joke about
so you know you blame the boogeyman
when something's not going right
and so they're talking about this
like they looked it up at the library
and then Buck who is the expert caller
on the team chimes in from the back
seat of the car this is all taking place in the car
and he goes I read about that there
Sue Kalu too he married a little Cherokee girl
so he adds
in an insane interspecies
child bride bee plot
that no one indulges in they're all just like
god damn it Buck no we did not agree
on the little Cherokee girl
they did they do they have to
so he's just a fucking ghost sex
trafficker this bigfoot now and they just
ignore him
Jeff gets back to what he's talking about like okay
they say the Sewell Kalu can read your thoughts
and then
now if the legends are true and this Cherokee
devil can read our thoughts he may be
the most dangerous bigfoot we've ever
encountered
and then a whole lot of nude yoga jokes and they all
talk about how like I love the nude yoga
bits Huckleberry naked yoga
in front of me I've seen his naked butthole
and they all laugh and
it goes on so long
who is the one who spotted the Sewell Kalu
and they keep going with the nudity jokes
which I think is a very uncomfortable thing to do to a woman
alone in the woods now at this point
this is this has survived this like nudity
joke bit has
survived a location change because they start
making all of those jokes about
but Huckleberry doing or Jeff doing new yoga
in my room it's so gross they're in the car
and then we cut away and they've walked like
eight miles into the woods to meet this woman
in the middle of a clearing
who's just hanging out waiting for him
and they immediately start back up
with the naked hillbilly
like we're so gross naked and it's
yeah
it is relevant to the story
she didn't run
yeah this is foreshadowing
believe it or not that's not
you may have thought they were just riffing at the time
but it's going to come back into play
but here's my question this is
this is where I get a little bit lost
the woman they talk to is telling
them about the myth of the she was
someone who saw the Cherokee Devil herself
right yes so
she comes across like
she thinks
she's being interviewed for a real
Bigfoot show like I
assumed this was someone who actually
had gone to the local media and said yeah
I saw a Bigfoot versus someone
they just cast to play that
part in the show
well to be clear she says
like maybe she didn't know how dumb
this show was and thought they were actually
going to investigate her her thing
oh no because because she
does say that once she
saw the Bigfoot
he did psychically possess her
and march her eight miles across the woods
right so
she knows what she's getting into
right so you know when you like
get blackout drunk and you walk
eight miles across the woods and you
wake up you're like god damn it that
Bigfoot
all right let's do hold on let's do
a real quick hillbilly monster hunter roll call
because we're going to drop a lot of names there's a
very big cast for like a monster
hunting show so
all right let's praise this as a game
I'm going to read you guys I hope you take
a note I'm going to read you a name and you're going to tell
me whether or not he's
a weary 60 year old hillbilly dressed like
a Cabela's catalog
yes they all are
trapper I can save you some time yes no not
trapper
wait are you talking about
trapper or the guy who is the trapper
no trapper the one
named trapper is he a weary 60 year old
hillbilly dressed like a militia man
uh yeah
yes yes he is that's very good
that's very good Jason
Buck is he
a weary 60 year old hillbilly dressed
like a militia man well now some of them
are not elderly right some of them are
the younger guys but I do
they all did sort of run together
for me it felt like 14 years old
yeah one one guy seemed fairly young
but I don't know which one it was but so I
but I will I will still bet yes
on this one no see Buck is the 30
year old obese hillbilly
dressed like a militia man who always
looks like he's riding an ATV even though he's
not that's but he's their expert
caller a baby
I'm saying if you told me
that was a giant baby I'd say yeah okay
he's kind of a giant man baby but he is
also the expert caller to call the
supernatural trapper was of course the team
leader their security is
Huckleberry is he uh is he a weary
60 year old hillbilly
yeah he is that guy
Jason is Jeff
the researcher a weary 60
year old hillbilly
uh
boy I sure think so
yes he is he absolutely
is now how about
Willie one of the trap builders
yeah absolutely I think weary might
not be the word for Willy
he seems kind of
one of the two very dangerous
men like that's correct
he is addicted to methamphetamines that
is absolutely correct
yeah one of the one of those guys
who had done
it it seemed like his heart was
about to explode at some point he was
very high
you are talking about wild bill the expert
tracker uh okay
some sort of methed out
shed bomber anyway that's our cast
I just wanted I prepared that little game
for you and uh you both did pretty well
and if it's okay I would like
to point out something if you try
researching what any of these people were doing
before they were cast on
monster mounts mountain
monsters hunters
you will find nothing
their backgrounds are more
like it's actually
easier to find a big foot
each one there's three
primary members of the cast
and who I guess were like
friends from school who
it says not much is known
about their early life but they live their
their lifelong residents of Virginia
and the rest of them I guess
there's some controversy because some people claim
they're actors that were
then cast for the show
but they can't no one can find their previous
acting credits or any kind
of information about them
or has ever seen them before
prior to which I find that
fascinating because some of these guys I thought
well there'd have to be something
you know they were maybe they were previously on like
some sort of a hunting show or whatever but
no I feel it's like they kind of
were manifest out of
from the wilderness
to give us this show
I do think they did like a hill
folk roll call and just
the people came in
and were like yeah I believe that's that guy would
spend his whole life hunting big feet
you take one look at Huckleberry
and you're like yeah
that guy is going to
fall through the woods looking for big foot for the next
seven years
alright where did we leave off in the show like they were just
oh yeah we're barely even hunting
big foot well yeah they had met
I can tell you one thing it's
already you and I disagree on something
what's that because and this is again
I do not have the knowledge of this show I've
only seen this one
for this particular episode my
impression
was that one to this is an hour long
show with ads if you're watching on streaming it's
45 minutes right
I think they shot
maybe 12 minutes of footage in the
woods
that they then recycled
and reshot
and recut in many ways
and you kept mentioning that they walked all the way
through the woods these guys
their overalls are spotless
and brand new you're right I was being generous
with what with the wall they
it really does look like
they parked
in some like you know a path right off the
highway and then
walked a very brief distance to
with the we're going to mention the little building
where the events occur
that has electricity it's got a light on
that I think is
just right off the highway
and they walk out
to the building I think four times
and that's that's it that's all the
traipsing through the woods they do
this show does not feel
high effort to me no it's
yeah I was being very generous with walking
through the woods for the next seven years
I didn't mean to imply mileage I just
meant that they would walk like into the woods
just barely because like
let's get to where they start they start their
investigation after talking to Liz that's all
like the material that they need she's like yeah
I got blackout drunk
and it was probably bigfoot
it was bigfoot juice that did it
and that's all the info they need
because they went into this
meeting knowing that it was a psychic bigfoot
that he has mind control powers
and she's like yeah I don't know what happened he took control
my mind I walked seven miles I woke up on the highway
and then they all take turns going like
how could this be I'm like
you fucking idiot
all going straight up bullshit
they go like bullshit bigfoot doesn't
have psychic powers like there's a law about it
you fucking read about this guy you've
been talking about him all day it's the premise of the
show it's the episode synopsis
but I think they need conflict at
some point so they're like no trapper hates
the idea of psychic bigfoot but
Buck with his with his Cherokee
heritage who uh
why do not believe has Cherokee blood in him
although that is an integral part of this plot
line
he is all in on psychic bigfoot from the start
but like Jason's saying
like it's night time they get out of
their truck they walk about 50 feet into
the woods and they stop and trapper says
damn look at this it's damn
honeysuckle domes that's the perfect
place for that son of a bitch to be
and Buck says
hell yeah it is he crawls under it
and goes damn kind of creepy under here
something moves and he goes wait flush it out
they found bigfoot
50 feet from the first place they parked
8 more 8 minutes into the episode
hiding in a small
a small bush in the first
bush they checked
they looked in a bush and were like well hot damn
that's a bigfoot it's just
it's the most successful rabbit
hunt I would have ever been on
to be clear these guys because they've
not we've not seen the trap people
yet these guys go into the woods
each of them with pump shot guns
with the goal of murdering
bigfoot yeah as far as you as far as you
know at this point in the show they're just
going to go kill bigfoot they're going to go
assassinate bigfoot because it
assaulted this woman it took over her brain
for it so it's like no we're our job is
to find bigfoot and to take him out
and he is
and he is squatting in a bush 50
feet from the parking lot to this trail
and it's and that's where he was
this whole time they've already
we've already seen one of them eat so much
shit Huckleberry just face plants
like these guys are really
elderly and obese and not very sure
footed I mean walking you gotta be
held together with Percocet and this dude
just fucking face plants like they
they should not be hunting bigfoot
they do their own stunt work
whether or not whether or not they mean
to they do their own stunt work it is
very clear watching that the one
episode I watched that
these guys falling down is
like a trope of the show that
fans demand like the fans
have like a drinking game around
and then a whatever message board
or whatever discord servers where
all the mountain mountain monster
fans hang out like
betting on who's gonna fall down first
it's clearly a big part of the show
they make a big thing out of it
because they treat it like an emergency
musical stings shaky camera work
oh my god Huckleberry is down
it's to be fair each and every one
of these guys when they fall down
you do doubt whether
it might be the last time
it might be
it might be the last time
for sure for sure Huckleberry
I feel like Huckleberry just standing there
I'm never a hundred percent
if he just died standing up
like he might just like wave in front of him
and be like nope Huck's gone
that was it
went peaceful like
this fucking horizontal man just
was like I'm gonna go circle around the book
like he's not only gonna catch bigfoot
yeah buck so they split up buck takes off
and buck goes immediately
missing again we're
eight and a half minutes into the episode
and bigfoot has kidnapped psychically
kidnapped one of the monster hunters
now I have
there's no there's no
comms the team has no comms they're in appalachia
so their cell phones don't work but they also don't have
radios they got hollering
they got hooting and hooting
hollering and hooting
yeah and
part of the charm of this is that their training
and methods
just having done a lot of episodes
of this show you would think
they would have more of a system
than what they have
for actually hunting and spotting
like you know
paw prints or whatever
but when this guy when he went
missing
I actually paused the show
because are you guys
familiar with the long running
discovery channel
the lobster fishing show
or crab fishing the deadliest catch
yeah sure
people who watch it there's like a span of
three years it's the most popular show on all
of cable but one
of the captains one of the main guys
actually passed away in the off season
and of course these shows you know the broadcast
months later for those of you
who thought mountain monsters was filmed live
and just broadcast directly in your home
it's there's months later so
the news headlines that
captain phil had passed away
hit months before
the episode did like nobody watching
the show was shocked to find out like you
they played it up at the start
of the episode like okay this is
the one where he has a stroke and where
you know and they're kind of like explaining
what what happened
but it's understood that because
this is not fake
a real person's died so all the
fans knew because it makes news the guy
was extremely famous
so here it was the same thing
when this guy went missing right before
the commercial the obvious commercial break
I paused it and then googled the news
to see if a guy had
been killed by a big foot
in whatever state they're in
where does this take place
this is North Carolina for the
Cherokee Devil
I didn't see anything so I did kind of
spoil the episode for myself a little bit
because I also googled
well did did someone trap
a Cherokee Devil like was that on
the news was that on CNN
you know maybe like a few years ago
and I just didn't miss it like if it was trending
on Twitter that day and it's like no I couldn't find
so they never got it again I feel like
it would have come out even before the show aired
it would be difficult for them to hide the fact
that they're in possession of a
of a big foot that they would have to like
what keep them storage until the episode
airs
you're thinking so literally there are many
ways to defeat a big foot
and that's really what the show
is all about is
defeating Bigfoot at his own game
I would say Buck maybe lost
to the Bigfoot as hard as you could lose
as already lost Buck disappears and
it's because he lost to the Bigfoot
he is being where again
we are nine minutes into the show and Buck is being
psychically controlled by a Bigfoot
they go to this shed there's
like a shed and like Jason said it seems like
there's a light in there like that's electricity
Bigfoot shed it's a big it's just a Bigfoot shed
and there's a light on in it and
Buck is sitting
mind controlled in there like Blair Witch
style because Bigfoot has hypnotized
him into meditating in a shed and they
they go in there and he's acting all out of it
and he goes he told me not to move
you know who
and he goes him and points out the window
and the camera spins around to see
nothing because
they have night vision cameras but they still
try to do the old trick where they look into the dark
and like oh is there something there
but there's not
and they close up on it
and there's not and then there's a slap
on the side of the shed like
Bigfoot is over there just drumming on the walls
and they go you gotta come out
but you gotta come out Buck
and he jumps up this
I gotta say 350
pound man no judgment
but like he is
and his stunt work
for the day is to flee into the woods
which they probably shouldn't have given to him
because he goes about 10 feet
literally 10 feet he makes it outside the
shed and then just falls
nobody trips him he just can't work feet for that
long and everybody piles on top
of him like stay with him oh my god Buck's
gonna get away and he's already just like down
and breathing heavy nope
it looks like a bunch of
movers dropping
a filled water bed like he just
collapses in like a liquid
gelatinous
getting back up like after
they finally get back up and he starts
puking and I think they're trying to play it
off like that's oh this is like what happens when Bigfoot
mind controls you but no I think he ran 10 feet
I just don't think he's ready to do
that it went poorly for him
anyway this is like a really scary moment
and what we do at a really scary
moment in this episode is we cut away
to a terrible CGI model of like
Darth Bigfoot
this is what we do every time it gets
really scary we cut to a commercial break
and like a really poor rendering
of CGI Bigfoot spins around
and we zoom in on his glowing red
eyes
it's like a PlayStation 1 era
seriously PS1 graphics
we cut back
and Huckleberry's going something's got a hold
of his mind I don't know what it is
there's evil in these here what's right here
I don't know what it is
maybe it's the fucking psychic Bigfoot
Bigfoot there's
well there's something else to note that this show does that thing
when it comes back from commercial break
it really shows you the thing
that just happened in case you forgot
so
that's one way they stretch the
tiny amount of footage they
shot I cannot
emphasize how little they shot for this
show
it's mostly reaction shots too
they repeat things so many times
and every time you come back from a break
they have to show you the last sequence again
and then they
they bring you up to speed
I guess that's why that's so important
like they do the repeat
thing but they also before then they also
have a testimonial sometimes
so it'll be like it'll cut to commercial with like
Buck dying like Bigfoot has control
of his mind and he's fucking
dying and then it comes back
and it's like yeah so I was
dying in the woods because Bigfoot was inside
my mind you're like wait no the drama
of the scene has been killed because
because my mind wasn't big enough to host
a Bigfoot I'm talking to you
from the future I'm totally fine
but and then they have to go back and show like okay
here's what led up to the moment we just
fucked up so
yeah they love to
they also do the padding by cutting
back which I haven't seen in another
react where they cut back multiple times to
the same person to make them react
to it again like they're using every
take because Huckleberry says that
something's got to hold there's evil in these woods
and then they cut back to him a second later
and Huckleberry goes I'm not into this
hocus pocus bullshit but something had to hold
to him which like you're on a Bigfoot
haunt you're into it all they all take but then
they cut back to Huckleberry again
and he goes this has got me in an uproar
and by god I'm gonna do something about it
like he's escalating each time just
getting madder and madder at Bigfoot
over here in the corner it's wonderful
so is this
the point where they now switch to the B team
the trapping team
we cut to the B team which are Wild Bill
and Willy
which one
is the guy who's going like a hundred miles an hour
that's Wild Bill
if you couldn't tell by the name
but they're both alright they're both on a lot of meth
they both got meth eyes like if you're wondering
where all the meth is in Appalachia
it's in Wild Bill and Willy they
they share one blink between the two of them
and they do not use it
but we cut to them
to Jerry Rigg
man trapped in the woods
which is great
and like I said that's the format
there's like a myth buster segment
which is their B team
which is just two methed up hillbillies arguing over
how to zip tie chain link to catch Bigfoot
and here's the problem
the folklore says this Bigfoot can leap mountains
and they figure well
what that really means is he probably jumps gully
to gully
like why are we capitulating
I don't get why we're capitulating on Bigfoot mythos
like
mountain jumping Bigfoot more ridiculous than psychic Bigfoot
but
what they decide to do
is they build a rickety little bridge
which I guess Bigfoot's love
and then they have a drop away door in the middle of it
and the logic is this
he jumps from gully to gully
so he must be tired of doing that
and he would really appreciate the break a bridge would give him
and that's it
Wild Bill loves it
Robert
what information
were they acting on
that made them think the Bigfoot would cross
this exact spot
in the woods of the thousands
and thousands of square miles
what did they find that made them think
this exact spot was the place to put this bridge
oh well they found a trail
and then they decided since they were looking for Bigfoot
this is a Bigfoot trail
and that seems reductive of me but that's actually
word for word what they say
I have that in my notes
this is the trail Bigfoot probably uses
they find a trail they say
well we're looking for Bigfoot
this is the trail Bigfoot probably uses
so that's where we build the bridge
some of the more ignorant
listeners have said
well now wait a second that also could be
a trail that humans use
hunters and such
and so you have now booby-trapped
a trail that people use
and left it there in the night
because they do leave
this takes place over several nights
but you fools
you have to understand
catching the Cherokee Devil
matters more
this is the kind of triage
you have to do
it's like yes we will have to sacrifice
the safety of some people who may just
be browsing through the woods
hunting for whatever
or just enjoying the beauty of the woods
because otherwise
how are you going to keep them safe from the mind controlling
Bigfoot also I should note
the whole joy of having a build team
in your reality show is that they're good
at building things
they are not
it's fun to watch them
make magic happen and build cool stuff
these guys it's like
if the three of us
went and tried to build a Bigfoot trap right now
with no supplies
you two guys may be good
carpenters I don't know that about you
but it would
be like if me and several of my comedian friends
went out in the woods and had
it's like this is the best we could do
it's like a couple of boards
and then we just sort of screwed some stuff together
but it looks like something
some children did
Willie is supposed to be the expert trap builder
so you can blame this on Willie
but like Wild Bill what I love so much about this
is the relationship
just even in these like couple of episodes
that this art goes
you see so much love and support
for for Willie from Wild Bill
every idea he has is like
well I'm gonna build a bridge and Wild Bill goes
aw shit
and then I'm gonna put a drop down door
I'll drop down door in it
Wild Bill seems like he's just up for anything
he's up for anything he's on a lot of men
and he loves he loves Willie
when they when they set up to
to build the bridge
it's just like a full on rock and roll tree fall
on scene
and so Willie starts up the chain saw
he starts to drop the tree
and the whole time Wild Bill
is back there like my name
like he's just like
he's really doing it
he's really cutting the tree down
and then Wild Bill like for no reason
like
sets up some fucking like log racing
shit and like runs up a tree
and then with zero expertise
repels down it like he's never done it before
goes like full balls out
barely touches the tree on the way down and eats
total shit like
he seems to be surviving on balls alone
he runs up that tree
with pure meth stickiness
just a meth squirrel
scampering up that tree
I was so impressed like how he
I was not impressed with how he came down
which was he just fell on his back
he just fell out of the tree
he fell three stories onto his back
and then bounced off
yes he's on meth so he's fine
he's also like hardcore marine
like he's like a where put pitbull
like marine old man
and if you look at his face
it looks like he's had his face punched in
and never let the broken noses heal
as they just broke on top of each other
on top of each other so he's got like this
just a vertical smear for a face
and cauliflower ears like it just looks like
he's been doing nothing but wrestling
for fucking 70 years straight
he's taking some hits and let
allow him to demonstrate by running up a tree
and then falling on his back
that was his contribution to the trap
that is the best scene of character
building in this show
is the two minutes of him miming
air chainsaw next to his friend
and then getting so amped he runs up a tree
he shows back like
everything I need to know about that character
I now know
you're gonna get that some bitch
I love the idea of Bigfoot watching and being like
okay these are the guys coming after me
I'm in so much trouble
alright so
the thing is you would think
if this was a normal reality show
you would think they had cut these guys
and told them to act this way
to bring up the energy of the show
maybe they thought like things were a little bit flat
or that the psychic Bigfoot thing
wasn't actually coming across like they thought
and so they had been given the direction
like really
go like really play up the
speed of what you're doing or whatever
unfortunately and I don't know
I don't want to accuse these people of being
drug users if they're not
I will say
they are extremely
extremely energetic
to agree that it is
weird
A team is drunk on Sillshine
and just stumbling about the woods
B team
is pure country meth
and is just
firing it up with that energy
and I think that's why the show works
is these wild slashes back and forth
and Jason did talk some shit about their bridge
but I think it's not a bad bridge
for seven minutes in a chainsaw
like
that they almost died making
like they didn't even play it up
because they cut the tree so poorly that it just
like a huge branch almost fell on his head
and they both make a face like wo-oh
and then he just goes wheeeee
as he does every time
he survives near death
I want to talk about how
when they're driving around the Ford logos
blacked out on their truck which I thought was kind of funny
because normally this is a way
for shows to sneak in product placement
like if you watch on
like Top Chef
somebody had to
have asked and Ford is like
send us an episode
and they sent Sheep Squatch
the Sheep Squatch episode
I guess when you're driving on the mountains to feed a hillbilly
to Sasquatch no one wants their brand associated with you
I don't know
it seems fair
Robert is trying so hard
to progress forward with this episode
but it's the proper energy
so I don't want to derail you
we catch up
to Buck and Buck is the next day
and he's just sadly moping in a golf cart
about getting Bigfoot mind molested
and there's some talk about it
and to be clear he cried
he was like bawling
he did this tearful crying thing after he realized
he had been mind molested
by Bigfoot
if the show was making a joke of it
then
it's a weird moment
they take it very seriously
yeah
from some real sexual trauma
I want to say that
he was like a 5 out of 10 actor
it was weirdly not that bad
yeah he did okay
on the Bigfoot trauma sections
specifically not on anything else
this felt like genuine acting to me
like I couldn't tell
he was performing quite as much as the rest of the show
where it's just obviously canned lines
whereas this is like
he's tapping into something very troublingly real
but also I think
if you get mind dominated by a gorilla ghost
and then you cry in front of your best friends
maybe you should be carrying a gun
I don't know
well he's so rattled I think that they
try to take him off of the front lines
of the Bigfoot war
and here's the experience
as he relates it
he says Bigfoot said follow me
and then it grabbed him by the arm
and pulled him into the shack and said
don't move
which I'm assuming was a psychic command
because he didn't move
and so many other like monster hunting shows
dance around this and they do the
are they real what did we really see
what's out there thing
I fuck that
Bigfoot is a jerk he grabbed me
and he yelled at me
like I was saying
Bigfoot has harassed him
with a hand print
not only from the Bigfoot
he has a big hand print on his arm
that he rolls up his sleeve to show
he also has a hand print on the other arm
of where the little Cherokee girl grabbed him
so he has been grabbed
by a Bigfoot and a Bigfoot ghost
and uh
to create a mental picture for the audience
the hand print of the little girl
was created by someone grabbing his arm
the bruising from the Bigfoot
grabbing him was created
by him taking some brown paint
and or makeup and smearing
and kind of smearing it on in
no way
done by someone who knew how to like make
bruising for a TV show
it literally is just like paint smears on his arm
like Bigfoot rubbed off on him
I think he might have done it to himself
like he had someone grab him
like Jason said it was just looks like a human
grabbed his hand like two minutes before they filmed this
because I think this is Buck's deal
I think the little Cherokee girl
is him
like forcing it into the show
I don't think anyone else wanted Bigfoot to be married to a child
well because again
he keeps bringing up his Cherokee heritage
and I think they're all looking at him like
Buck, maybe you drove a Cherokee once
like you've drove a Cherokee
into a casino
that's your Indian heritage
Buck's fucking ancestry is Kirby
this motherfucker is a Kirby
anyway
Buck is getting himself
a character arc
because now he needs to get back in them woods
to overcome Bigfoot trauma
despite saying that
he just says I'm gonna go to sleep now
and he leaves
I gotta get back in them woods
but I'm gonna go to sleep now
so he's out for the day
he needs the day off
we haven't mentioned that
the Cherokee girl said something to him
right
it was like something in Cherokee that he remembered
I kind of remembered exactly
I kind of remembered the exact quote
even though I can't say it
and then he looked it up as the Cherokee word for peace
which again
does not align with the plot of the show
like they're going to hunt and kill this Bigfoot
and he's like no
it wants peace like no fucking
fuck your Cherokee girl bullshit
fuck
I think they give into a little bit then
the rapper comes out and be like
there's something in those woods
Bigfoot don't want us to see
that's my favorite part
is that Bigfoot has secrets
I love that Bigfoot has secrets
so stupid
so they're getting inside Bigfoot's head
they know that Bigfoot's trying to chase them away
from something
so they head to that same shack where they found Buck
and the show is about finding out
Bigfoot's secret now
that's the key to capturing a Bigfoot
but Bigfoot
Bigfoot didn't want Buck at all
what he was actually doing was playing mind games
using Buck planted in the shed
to distract them from his honey suckle
domes which I guess is where Bigfoot lives
remember the first place they checked
they parked next to Bigfoot HQ
on day one of the Bigfoot hunt
and they got to get back there
but there's nothing out of the ordinary
but something Huckleberry ain't feeling right
he again falls down a
short hill possibly to never rise again
this one I thought might have been a stunt
because I was like that old man ate shit
that old man ate some shit
down a very small hill
and then they go to wake him up
and he turns around and he screams
and he attacks them
to the best of his ability
it's more like some gentle slapping
and then he gets tired
and they kind of lay on top
then he like in some sort of a fit
of psychic rage he points at a thing
so somehow Bigfoot took over
his mind and made him into a maniac
he also told him where
the secret totem pole was
to the Bigfoot riddle
and I just before we skip over that
Bigfoot thought he was in
Huckleberry's head but actually
Huckleberry was in Bigfoot's head
yeah you can't gaze into the Huckleberry
without the Huckleberry gazing back
but before we skip over that
they cut to a reaction and Trapper
and Trapper self-owns the team a bit when he says
it took 500 pounds of men to hold him down
but there were only two of them
yes
anyway yes
he points to a totem pole
that's just clearly like from a garage sale
or carved by somebody and they go
oh my god it's a totem pole
that tells us everything that's going on in these words
they speak Cherokee
hieroglyphics
so then Huckleberry says
I will find you and kill you
like he's Bigfoot speaking through Huckleberry now
yes
Bigfoot has possessed one of the hunters
and is now threatening them and he says
it don't matter Jeff I'll find you I'll kill you
and he says I know who's gonna die
okay
and then they
my notes they say they
desecrate these secret Cherokee artifacts for no reason
and then they leave so they pick up the totem pole
they throw it on the ground
and then they leave
well it's not for no reason we'll get to that later
okay
I think this is just like the bad guys from Indiana Jones
it's like a reality show about them
they're just running around hunting precious creatures
that only want peace
desecrating sacred artifacts
accidentally murdering hikers
in the woods
I think they might be the bad guys is my point
so they've ditched the exposition
totem pole that tells them everything
they needed to know
and they cut the trapper and he goes I don't give a fuck
if it's my time to well like
it's into that
like this is a sundown town
for big feet
so they've got their traps built
they've got the riddle of Bigfoot
all queued up
they leave Huckleberry freshly possessed
by Bigfoot in the truck all alone
and they go to catch the trap boys
up on like which of their crew
are being currently mind controlled by Bigfoot
which is more than you would expect
up to two
two out of four of us have been mind controlled by the Bigfoot
Bigfoot's taking us down left and right
and also we've experienced
a prophecy of death
on account of Bigfoot
and Wild Bill, I love this part so much
Wild Bill totally on the phase goes
well shit this sounds like some scary stuff
and
trapper was clearly not supposed to
but yeah even he has to like laugh a little
that lines a little
Wild Bill is down
for whatever
Huckleberry, they look back and Huckleberry is gone
oh no
we need you Buck, we lost Huck
is what they say
and so now it's Buck's redemption arc
he has to make up for being mind controlled by
psychic Cherokee Bigfoot
by finding somebody else who is being mind controlled
by psychic Cherokee Bigfoot
and the team runs into the woods looking for
Huckleberry while Buck
heads to the honeysuckle dome
and Bigfoot shack
there are third visit to that
little shack again
this tiny little patch of woods
that they shot this in
it has electricity
it's on somebody's property
permission to film in this guy's backyard
he's like are you guys going to play Bigfoot
out here all day
I really like that
Buck does not seem ready for this
and he's talking to the cameraman almost like
the cameraman has to be a therapist at this point
where he's like look I'm mind controlled by Bigfoot
but I gotta do something
I'm just going to wander breathlessly into the nothing
and hope something happens
that it's good and the cameraman's got to be like
again, none of this is real
but you would think this is where the cameraman would like
forget his duties as a
documentarian and be like
no, Buck you gotta fucking go home and rest
Buck this Bigfoot is just
fucking owning the shit out of you guys left and right
but Buck's going to head out there
by himself even though he says it ain't smart
because I'm looking for two things
most important of all I'm looking for
Huckleberry but I'm also looking
for closure
I got me a character
Arkeha
but he finds the Indian girl
he finds the Indian girl
it's a movement in the little shed
and he runs in there and
she's gone and he spends
I swear to God 17 fucking
hours going how? she was in here
I saw her how
that's how fucking ghosts work you fucking idiot
god damn it
Buck
and uh
you can't figure out how a ghost walks through
a door
with this giant hole in his
mind he is clearly ripe for
Bigfoot controlling again so Bigfoot once
again remote controls him
they find him just like chilling on a log
because I guess Bigfoot doesn't really know
what to do with the buck like he wants to get
control him and he's just like
this guy's on his yeah he's
not doing much let's have him sit down
the team finds him he tells him he saw the Cherokee girl
and Trapper goes well
now there's something about that damn
shit
which there might be and buck goes
my mind's overwhelmed
which you know it might be
and they still got all the fine huckleberry
did you notice he mentions the shit not the girl
like no one will indulge
buck's bullshit B plot of the Cherokee girl
he does force this into
the narrative though buck wins buck
wins if your theory is right and this was not
the plan from the start buck does get his way
and
so they go back to the totem pole looking for huckleberry
but that's all bitches gone
and somebody
moved the totem pole which they claim is a feat
impossible for man
despite the fact that they did it
they did it earlier
okay can you describe for the listener what the totem
I think they're picturing a totem pole
something fancier than
what they actually found no it's like
it's like maybe a
first shop quality totem pole
that has been left out in the rain for a long time
possibly just a piece of wood
that somebody crudely hacked a design into
it's very this is absolutely
the straightest log they found
in 20 minutes of wandering around the woods
yeah you might be picturing like a 20 foot tall
totem pole this is like a 5 foot
tall piece of wood
and someone has taken a router
with just a shallow little bit on it
and they've just drawn like a few
faces drawn the way
and they may have bought it somewhere
but I think it's just as possible
that the production crew has spent
literally 20 minutes making this thing
while Bill and Willie
messed up and they got a chisel
and they made themselves a big foot pole
and it nearly killed
both of them
anyway Huckleberry is off
hollering in the woods and the boys run out
all screaming and panicking and Trapper says
run them down Willie
knowing full well that running is for the meth boys
they find Huckleberry naked
and probably 10%
filthier than usual holding
this giant totem pole and looking around
wildly and holy shit this is it
we were saying earlier you see
all that talk about gross naked old men
comes full circle
it's right that's called writing
it's a callback
they dive tackle him into the water
and Jeff says are you Huckleberry now
and Huckleberry says
I'm a wet Huckleberry
and Bill says
hell yeah
so
it was at that moment because obviously
when they find him
completely nude
and pixelating his penis
and covered in mud
and then kind of fighting
with this poorly made totem pole
obviously that's one of the
funniest things that's ever happened
on a TV show
in any genre
10 out of 10 hilarious
and then no leave off because this scene
ends with Willie
running up and dive tackling him
into a lake
well right and then he does
his two camera
the two of the camera interview about it
while still totally nude
it's such a perfect punchline
yeah
fully nude
but this is the point
is it supposed to be funny
because again
at the moment they had the guy start
like crying real hard actor tears
about being possessed by Bigfoot
I thought oh this is actually
a show for the Bigfoot believers
and they're goofy and lighthearted
in their manner
but this is supposed to be convincing
to Bigfoot enthusiasts of the world
yeah they got in those fights
with other Bigfoot shows about how
they're just as serious and they spent all this time
doing it
yeah we
but then when the
clearly funniest possible
thing happens and it's a call back to the jokes
they were making earlier like how wouldn't
it be awful to see this guy naked
and then it's like oh that's actually
that was our checkoffs gun
right with a different sound track
this is an episode of Arrested Development
this is like a really good episode of Arrested Development
yeah
so I now
legitimately at that point and by the way
it
I will say something happened
that really did affect me emotionally
which is when I realized this was
part one of a two part episode
and that you
would give me just a part one and it seemed
to imply that I was supposed to watch more
of this show it's like why will this never know
what happens and because again
they left it up in the air like will we capture
the bigfoot because the trap never this
in the episode like the trap never came into play
I mean you have to end the episode
on that scene that scene is so perfect
everything comes together you get the
big laugh you got to go out
and they the buck buck gets the last line
the episode by saying we didn't even
get to go after that stupid Cherokee
devil we didn't even get
to try for that bigfoot but yes this is
episode one of two
and they end on a cliffhanger and actually
I specifically forbade you
from watching
episode two because
yes this is a two part season finale
and I think
there might have been some hints in the lead up to the exit
like when Trapper says
I tell you what we're gonna do we're gonna
go home we're gonna heal up mentally and physical
we're gonna come back
and then Huckleberry says we'll come back
and then Jeff says hell yeah we're coming back
and then buck says we're coming back
guys so like I think they're
they're coming back I think they're coming back
just gonna leave that trap
out in the woods
they do leave the bridge
they just leave it there
as they because that plays a part
in the in the next episode
even though they established that they take a break
from it
and that damn psychic bigfoot
with his big city forest smarts
messed up the bigfoot hunt
and buck
buck has like a little bit of
it's not like a closure
to his arc but they do give him at least
a line at the end
where he says the rest of the teams looking for the Cherokee Devil
I already found him
he's in my head
and now I don't know how to get rid of him
so like
oh shit
is buck a sleeper agent for the big feet
does Huckleberry look horrible naked again
who can solve the riddle of bigfoot
will Wild Bill and Willy
get married married or just gully married
find out next time
on 1900 hot dogs thrill and bonus episode
