What if Bigfoot isn’t just a blurry VHS fever dream… but a real, flesh-and-bone creature that’s just smarter than us?

In this episode, I sit down with Gary Volkmann, a man who didn’t just talk about finding Bigfoot — he funded it. Six figures. A full film crew. And a world-renowned PhD anthropologist, Dr. Jeff Meldrum, as his right-hand man.

We get into:

• Why a Thanksgiving dinner argument launched a full-blown Sasquatch hunt
• Ancient apes, human evolution, and why Bigfoot might be closer to us than we’re comfortable admitting
• Terrifying field encounters: bacon-scented sightings, rifled backpacks, unscrewed peanut butter jars, and a 16.5-inch footprint next to a tent
• Why Bigfoot might be the most intelligent great ape on the planet
• Native American lore, totem poles, ancient cave art, and why this story shows up everywhere… across cultures, continents, and centuries
• And why capturing Bigfoot on film might be harder than filming a black bear crossing a logging road
