When it's a friday night, you're drunk, browsing through memes and suddenly hear Aiden speak German in a really weird accent. I'm currently fighting for my life.

I’ve thought about buying a Chewbacca suit and wondering through the forest by busy tourists roads, and then I figured I could get shot at so I scrapped that idea.

"Bigfoot Muscle Mommy" is unhinged. Death by snu snu, tho.

Whenever the word “giants” is uttered on YouTube, I am always waiting for Wendigoon to pop up.

I am a survivor of the 'Whilkut' tribe and the 'Chilula' The main surviving family is regarded as the 'Moon' Tribe. Me and my family own the traditional tribal grounds on Redwood Creek. I'm not Super well versed in our 'lore' but here locally it's well known that the Yurok and Hoopa have had beef for many generations. Despite speaking the same language the Hoopa sold us out to the Army, leading to the worst massacre of native Americans on the west coast. (Woodley Island massacre). That being said, my family bridges the hoopa and Yurok. And I can't wait to ask my Aunt who teaches the Yurok language at HSU here in CA about our 'sasquatch' history. Thanks for giving all of us a shout out and keeping a fraction of our culture alive.

"Hey, let's steal some babes." "Sounds good, don't forget your hairy giant costume."

“I could have a conversation in the language without completely embarrassing myself which of course is something that can never happen if you’re in France, because they will simply make fun of you no matter how good you are.” That’s one of the best quotes I’ve heard on this channel! 😂

Side note Goldfinger covered "99 Red Balloons". It was originally performed by German singer Nena. So when he sings the line in German he just sang it as written.

In 2013, I was walking through the woods in the Appalachian Mountains here in West Virginia. I was 13 years old and doing what I often did, explore. It was a bright summer day, clear weather, and I was walking along the creek bed heading back home. I remember thinking to myself how quiet the woods were at the time. Absolutely no sound of wild life whatsoever which I remember thinking to myself was odd. I continued walking and shortly after I heard a bush shake, a shake that was notably not the wind, a violent shake like a person had had purposely drawn my attention. I remember looking to the left of me where the noise was coming from and at first didn’t notice anything. I kept observing when I heard the bush shake once more and at that point instantly noticed what I initially thought was a bear (we don’t have any brown bears in WV). It was crouched over, with its right hand extended onto the branch that had been shaken, looking directly at me. I’d say it was roughly 40 yards away at the time, plenty close to get a good look. It then stood straight up on 2 legs, pivoted toward the right and into a run (in the same motion). It ran in the opposite direction as I was traveling and you can bet your ass I ran as fast as my little ass could the other way! I can still picture it in my head as an adult. It stood at about 7ft tall, arms extended down past its waist (long arms) and ran upright, like a person, with its elbows bent. It had a long brown (not very dark, almost an orangish/ brown) fur all over it body and when it was running it took long strides. I didn’t feel threatened at the time but it was also something I couldn’t wrap my mind around and had no interest in sticking around to investigate. I would’ve walked right past this thing. It purposely got my attention. I’m obviously a pretty bad story teller, nor do I really expect anyone to believe a word of this because if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I’d absolutely call me a fruit loop lol.

In Mi’kmaw our word for Sasquatch is se’skwej meaning the screamer.

Imagine if someone finally catches a bigfoot and it turned out they actually had tiny little dainty ladies feet.

Please interview natives for these stories and bring them on your channel!! Would bring such a deeper understanding of these legends and create good conversation

32:10 “kind eyes” reminds me of the torment of Wendigoon in regards to watching The Oldest View with Kane Pixels and Alex Kister

Lifelong western Washingtonian here. Siwash kind of has 2 meanings depending on whether it's used as a noun or verb. As a noun, it's a pejorative, as in describing an itinerant or homeless individual who sleeps with no roof overhead and in no settled place. As a verb, it means to travel swiftly and lightly and in gathering food or fuel or fishing, it means to expertly and dexterously collect, gather or or fish. Since it was a Salish tradition to tailor one's telling of lore to a given audience this was a very flexible descriptor, as you can imagine. I have no idea what these things were but I recall my parents discussing the hypothetical existence of such creatures when I was about 6 or so. My father's opinion was that people were probably seeing things but best not to take chances, so he generally was armed when he went to inspect the wooded property he owned(inspect=intimidate poachers to get them to leave the property) Dad was a native Bostonian and veteran of 3 wars who really immersed himself in rural PNW culture after moving here in the 50s. As a fan of Joseph Conrad and Ernest Hemingway, it suited his vision of how to live one's life. We lived at the southern tip of a south Puget Sound inlet that was very sparsely populated.

The term "Sasquette" just causes me to imagine Sneaky Sasquash dressed as a Rockette. Every time.

You earned a sub with that "Bigfoot muscle mommy" bit, not gonna lie.

Hi, Aidan! I almost spilled my coffee all over my desk, hearing you speak German during your ad read. You sounded like a drunken sailor with a very thicc Russian accent (😂), but it was pretty good.👍Great show as always. Keep up the good work! Greetz from Germany!

1:10:33 I’m starting to wonder if these wild men from the mountains are consistently described as being hairy not necessarily because they themselves are actually hairy but because they are wearing almost full suits of fur. Possibly even using bear hides seeing how many times they are often mistaken for bears. Or even wearing some type of grass or reed cloak like that found with Otzi.

Aiden, please don't ask someone "how to go to the bathroom" in ANY language. You could ask how to find the bathroom or where it is located. At your age you should know how to do it. 😂
