In episode 696: The Art of The Hoax, Trey, the creator of the popular Instagram page @squatch_me_now, and his hoaxing partner, Brock, join to talk about an unorthodox topic, hoaxing Bigfoot. Together, they explain the unanswered questions about Bigfoot videos, and why video evidence often falls short of expectations. Trey shares his insights from years of examining photographic and video evidence, addressing the challenges of capturing high-quality footage of such elusive creatures. They also discuss their ongoing docuseries "Masters of the Hunt", where they conduct groundbreaking experiments, including ethical hoaxing, to reveal just how difficult it is to fake a Bigfoot sighting. With Trey's deep dive into the history of giants and Brock's hands-on experience in Bigfoot costuming, this conversation takes a fascinating look at what it really takes to explore the phenomenon, and attempts to answer the biggest question surrounding Bigfoot sighting videos...Are they real?
