  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: You know, one of the things, you know, being down
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: here in the south compared to, I grew up in
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: the state of Montana where Bigfoot was like, it was
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: more than a fantasy. We truly believe that Bigfoot existed
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: up there. And then I come down here to the
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: south and the old skunk ape is down here as well.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: And what do they call it? The wood booger down here, too.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: And I'm going, it doesn't even have a Sasquatch name.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: What are you giving it names like that for?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: The wood booger. That's great. Now, Clint lives in Montana now. So, Clint,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: what's the deal with Bigfoot in Montana?
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I tell people that I'm Roger's son
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and stuff, and they go, well, I've seen one, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: I hear stories all the time. I just was getting
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: my van worked on, and a guy goes, me and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: my dad were driving down the road up by Glacier Park,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and we seen a creature jump off of a big
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: old icy cliff and walk right in front of us,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and I'm like going, this guy, he's seen something. So,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's There's several sightings that I hear about
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: from people here in Montana.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Well, one of the things that you really bring up,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: and I love the fact that in the documentary, the
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: two of you really put up the he said, she
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: said kind of appeal to this story. You know, I
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: believe it, I don't believe it. You know what I
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: mean by that? And it really did make me get
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: engaged in the conversation in the way that I had
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: to make up my mind at where I am in
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: age now.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: What do you believe, dude? And I owe all of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that to you guys.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Where'd you land, Arrow?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Where I landed at was in 1967, and yet I'm
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: still here in 2026. And the thing about it is, though,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: is that I feel like, I do believe in Bigfoot,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: and I do believe that there is one here at
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: the Aurori Mountains here in North Carolina.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, and with our film, you know, we're
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: really dialed in on telling the story of the Patterson-Gimlin
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: film and of Clint's father, Roger Patterson, and Bob Gimlin,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: who was kind of his, you know, partner in crime.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And there are other friends who were these amazing characters.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: They were these cowboys from Yakima, Washington, kind of the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: last of their kind. And that's one of the things
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that really attracted me to this story. So we go
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: down that path, how that famous film was made, the aftermath,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: all the money that was made and the lost friendships
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and betrayal and reunions. Um, and so that was really,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you know, for me, it's just like that wild ride
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and this great story. Um, and then as it relates
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to Bigfoot, um, whether the Patterson Gimlin film is of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a real Bigfoot or not really doesn't have any, any
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: sort of bearing on whether Bigfoot is real or not. Um,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know, it, it, it clearly is the best evidence
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: for many people and that's what they're out there looking for.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: But if it turns out that, you know, people can
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: take that off the table and say, well, that's not
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: actually real Bigfoot. That's actually a good thing for people
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that are serious about trying to, prove Bigfoot's existence or not.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Well I got I got to tell you something there
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Mark in the in the way that even here in
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Charlotte when I have that foul smell in the forest
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: that I live in you bet inside my heart I
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: think that I'm being visited by that Bigfoot because there
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: is a smell and and and even in your movie
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: you even talk about that as well and I'm going
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I knew that I knew that because that's that's what
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: we grew up with in Montana.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah Clint do you remember your dad talking about the.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Smell Oh, yeah, he would say that it smelled like
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a dog that was wet that rolled in something dead.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: And I was like, okay, I've actually had that smell
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: before in real with our dogs because they like to
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: roll in stuff that's dead. And I went, wow, that's
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: a pretty raunchy smell. So, yeah, he would describe it
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: to me. And, I mean, I never did smell it
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: in the forest, but I smelt it on my dogs. Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: You know, we had the movie inside theaters. It was
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: in selected movies. And then we had the National Enquirer.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: So you have no idea what this documentary, Capture Bigfoot,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: is all about to me. Because it gives me that
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: opportunity to revisit something that I still believe that it's unanswered.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: In fact, where else would I have learned that it
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: was named Patty and it could have been Kathy? I mean,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: I learned it on your documentary.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Naming of that, I think it got named Patty, which
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: this was, you know, a female creature on film. And
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it was named Patty pretty quickly after Roger Patterson. But the,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you know, unfortunate coincidence is that Clint's mom, Roger's wife,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: was named Patricia, also called Patty sometimes.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: She had to live with that name of that Bigfoot
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: being named Patty, and she's still dealing with it today.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: We talked to her not that long ago, and she
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: was just kind of under her breath, like, oh, I can't,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you know, the fact that that is Patty. We asked
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: her what she would have called it, and I think
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: she said she would have called it Go Away.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, there's more Bigfoot talk on the way with Clint
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Patterson and Mark Evan.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Don't move.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Hey, thanks for coming back to my conversation with Clint
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Patterson and Mark Evan. We're talking about capturing Bigfoot, the documentary. Clint,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I'm so jealous of you in the way that you
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: and your dad got to go out there and hunt
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: for the Bigfoot because I always wanted my dad to
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: do that with me. So I always had the imaginary
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: friends that would go out with me into the forest.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: So I'm really jealous of you. And then to watch
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: you as a child inside of this just really is
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: just so amazing.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he took me out of school and we took off, uh,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: In a Volkswagen van.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, you did.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: With two horses in the back of the van. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: we were out there to capture one or they'll just
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: see something. And it was such an adventure that I
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: got to say, I really, at the time, I didn't
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: care about Bigfoot. I just wanted to be around my dad.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And I didn't, yeah, he was my teacher, my hero.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: And I just loved being around him.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. And that's very evident.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: And, boy, you had some balls to put this on
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: there of how real you felt when you lost your father.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Because all of a sudden, you know, I mean, oh,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: my God, I became so engaged in the storyline when
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I got to see your real emotions.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the worst day of my life when
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I seen my grandmother sleeping on our couch and I go,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: what in the heck is she doing here? And when
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: they told me that, I didn't believe it. I really,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I refused to believe it. Wow.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I love the way, Mark, that you start the documentary
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: off in the way that everything changes. Because, you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: as somebody who thinks they know everything about Bigfoot.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. No, I don't. Now that I've seen this, no,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: But you really do set us up as viewers to
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: kind of give us a better line to walk on.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's definitely, you know, our hope as storytellers
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and something that I wanted to do. I've got a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: great producer, Tamir Ardone, that we're really great creative collaborators.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And then we eventually brought on this extremely talented editor
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: named Michelle Witten who helped craft that story. And, you know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: we certainly could have made something that was more of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: this like salacious one-sided here's, here's this one take on, on,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever it is we want to say, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: we did want to have a more nuanced and balanced
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: and layered approach to it, which is more exciting storytelling
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: for me. And I think it makes for a better film, better.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Experience for the viewer.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Well, Clint, I truly believe that you and your father
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: were rock stars and you were just traveling from town
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: to town to town because everybody wanted to see that.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, look what you did at that gymnasium. You
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: sold three nights in a row, three shows in a row,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: completely sold out.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Yes. I mean, that was a and at the end
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of the to hear the applauses. of people really got
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: in my heart, man. I was like, wow, we're showing
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: this and people are really liking what they're seeing. And,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: you know, We got to a lot of bigfooters that
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: are out there that are saying some rotten things, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: they can say whatever they want. I know what the
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: truth is.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Well, you're absolutely right about that, and that's what's fun
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: about this because it also gets it so into the
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: hearts of.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: People going, I want to go find something like this.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: And as long as people are getting back in the
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: forest again, I'm a happy camper because I'm a tree
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: lover and people are losing their connection to the forest itself.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Get a bigfoot put in there then.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: You bet. I mean, there's something to look for out
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: there because too many people have seen something. And my gosh,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I hope someday somebody proves it and captures one.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, here's the big question for you, Mark
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and Clint.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Is it now a UAP since UFOs are completely that
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: one thing we used to do?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: But a UAP might explain something like this.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Well, I have a tough time with that one. I'll
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: just say anything is possible.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say that, you know what? There's a
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: lot of things that we don't know about and anything
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: is possible.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, I just love what you guys are doing. Where
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: can people go to find out more about this project
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: and everything that you're going to be diving into? Because
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: this is going to spark up a new storm of, oh,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: is he real?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Is he not real? And what can we do to
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: find our own?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it certainly already is, but you can go to capturingbigfoot.com
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and that can tell you where to watch the film,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: which the best place to do that right now is
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you can buy it or rent it on Amazon. Prime Video,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Capturing Bigfoot. But on our website, that also points you
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to all of our social media accounts, which we're releasing
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of really fun content. There's podcasts, there's a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: companion film. A lot of behind-the-scenes clips and extra bonus
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: features that people are really enjoying as well.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and kudos to you, Clint, for making sure that
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: this did not really come across as a documentary like
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: we're used to seeing them. You really did put a
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: lot of emotion and some realism in this that made
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: me feel like I was part of your circle on
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: this hunt and, again, looking for better answers. So kudos
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: to both you and Mark on this, Clint.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you. I mean, it took a lot of time
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: to gain my trust, and Mark and Tamara, the XYZ,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: they gained my trust, and boy, we ended up with
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: something that's pretty extraordinary.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 10:49
