You Had Me At.....Bigfoot

Everyone remembers the now famous line, “you had me at hello.” Women everywhere swooning for Tom Cruise in that scene. All the men wanting to hear that line said to them. Well,  I guess that line still works after all these years, because when I saw the title of the podcast, You had me at Bigfoot, they had me at...well, they had me at you had me. Between that title and the funny picture they advertised with, I knew I’d be hooked.





Now, I feel the need to warn you, this is not your mother’s podcast. And it does have an explicit content warning ⚠️ for listeners on iTunes. I’m not trying to hide anything here, and neither are they. Language and content does tend to get graphic. And I love every minute of it. Nothing like laughing so hard you snort out your soda, cringe, because you just know what they are going to say next, because you know what their thinking, and finally,  actually learning a new thing or two in the middle of it all.





Your two hosts for the evening, Tom and Dustin, have a good banter between them. They are both former military boys, Dustin active duty in Africa  for the National Guard and Tom in active duty in the Middle East, he can even track and has had survival training. They have seen their share. Their sound and music man, Jim, was also active duty in the Air Force. And I thank them all for their service. I’m currently working on extracting their promise to come rescue my lost butt in Vancouver. Boys, plan for it, it’s definitely going to happen. It’s not if, it’s when.


I had a few opportunities to talk with Tom (featured in the above picture) and Dustin. And I just had to ask. “What in the hell made you pick that awesome name?”  Their answer, Tom was talking to a friend of his, Chet, about a different project, and the friend interrupted to tell him, “you had me at Bigfoot”. That project was put off but the title Was repurposed fot their current podcast. And I’m glad they did.





Now, I don’t want to mislead you into thinking that the show is solely about the big guy. Each episode is different. It’s You Had Me At....sexsquatch, wizards, and psychics, etc. Something for everyone. The episode quoted above, You Had me at Wizards, with Dave Outlandish (whom I had to follow on Instagram after this show, because he was great) a Wizard, as their guest. Did give me some whole new perspectives on demon possession. As partly quoted above. Here is the whole quote,

   



If there truly is demon possession, which, if you’re asking I do believe there is, than that quote, though hilarious, makes perfect sense. It also makes people spew ice coffee everywhere including out their nose, while laughing. But if that quote offends you, then this podcast probably isn’t for you, and they are okay with that. Trolls need not apply. Another interesting episode is, You Had me at Sexsquatch, and well,  that is some seriously awesome click bait right there. I just had to hear it. Their guest for that, Mattsquatch Presents (someone else you should definitely check out if you haven’t yet on YouTube). And that episode is exactly what you think it’s about. And if you aren’t sure what it’s about? Again, this podcast is not for you..


The boys have a Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channel. But their recent edition is Periscope(which I am still trying to figure out, but I did find them). They are able to go live with this platform. (And eventually YouTube too, after they hit a certain number of subscribers). So, I watched my first Periscope live episode. I had literally just finished downloading the app, finding them and setting up notifications for them, when it went off. It opened right to them and I had an immediate panic attack. I literally X'ed right out, because I was like, can they see me? Lol. I truly thought for a moment they could.  I’m like, Jesus! I have no makeup on, my glasses, this isn’t happening! Then I realized they couldn’t (of course I still had to double check and ask them immediately following the show). Hey, if anyone could prank me, I’m sure these two could and would do it. Then they talked about my blog which was very sweet. But when they asked a question, I couldn’t find the damn keyboard! Sorry boys, I wasn’t really trying to make you squirm. I totally would do that to you now. But I didn’t that time.😊😜 needless to say Periscope and I need a few minutes together alone.


The boys have future plans for Periscope and YouTube live. They will take their show on the road. They will film ghost hunts, squatch hunts, you name it, they will probably try it. Their next episode coming up is, You Had me at Roswell. And they have episodes available to listen to every Tuesday.


So, even though it may not be your mom’s podcast, it very well might be yours. But you won’t know 'til you check them out..

He Does Exist..The Semi-Autobiographical Tale of Dyatlov Pass

Image
On yet another glorious snowy morning in Massachusetts, the 3rd one in as many weeks, I sat out in the doorway just watching it all come down. I couldn't help but think-what if I was outside lost and stranded? What if the abominable snowman exists and is out hunting right now?  It made me think of a tale, a true tale, of an abominable snowman that was out prowling, that did hunt people. He currently resides in the icy slopes of Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I feel relatively safe telling his tale from this location. It would be a lot of work for him to get here. But just in case, I have a Louisville Slugger near my door. His tale is the most frightening one I've ever heard and has haunted me since I first heard of it many years ago. (Many? Did my editor put that word in)?It's a scary tale because it is real...and we have proof. On February 2nd, 1959. Nine unsuspecting college students entered the liar of a Yeti and didn't survive to tell this tal

And you DON'T Believe in Bigfoot?!

Image
So, you still don’t believe in Bigfoot?...Well that’s fine.  With all the crazy creatures floating around in this world ... Bigfoot is the no go. Our own existence on this planet is something that should cause us to say "hmmm". How are we here? Why do we look the way we do? Just what makes us tick? That is where belief comes in. Some put their existence all on heavenly cards...while others put it all on the scientific ones. So, who is right or wrong? If our own existence is still somewhat in question, why would other creatures seem so far fetched? Have you seen some of the unbelievable creatures that live on the land, in water, and in the sky? I will tell you this...I would (and do) believe in a Sasquatch before I would believe in some of these creatures that are actually already established as real. Let’s explore some, shall we... The Barreleye Fish. Not sure, but I think I can see it’s BRAIN!!!! The Goblin Shark..Really! This is real!

Warning ⚠️ Squatching May be Hazardous to Your Health

I have always enjoyed my time in the great outdoors, whether I am at a beach, the dog park or Squatching. You couldn’t coerce me back in the house. In the summer months I’m literally outdoors from dawn till dusk, but lately I’ve noticed that all these outdoor activities are starting to become hazardous to my health.              Chris Farley in Black Sheep I’m used to the constant Chris Farley type trips I do daily, sometimes, most times, it’s usually in a public forum. The grocery store while the floor was wet, Maggie’s doggy day care in front of the owner and when I was teaching a million times tripping over the kids in front of everyone and on film too! I was used to it. I never bothered to  jump up to see if anyone was looking, because I knew they were. Sure it’s funny now, or even then, but this last year I’m doing the same maneuvers but I’m actually starting to feel these falls. Things are starting to get real here. After talking to some friends and colleagues who are also out
