Two Out of Three, Is Bad

We send a thank you to the good folks over at the MABRC.  Someone was nice enough to send us an independent archived version of the show as it was yanked soon after we posted this story.  Yes, the BFE is still around.  Some have been very busy, some have been slacking, some got a freak out.  To be explained later with a field update, along with dredging some more Bigfootery Gold quality muck.

Listen to Bigfootery Gold.  Fifty nine minutes of profane, drunkin ramblings capped with one minute of clarity when the Bigfoot Bully Keating gets lumped in with Fasono.

Show Wrap Up 2/23 – 3/2/09

The struggles to find a reliable critical thinker to do the weekly show wrap up continues.  This week’s volunteer was a real slacker, but I can understand that the task is tedious most of the time.  So here goes.

The Bigfoot Field Guide- Archive listening can be fun.  Sometimes stuff slips out that is not expected as they prep for the guest.  And sometimes the less than second level “Bigfoot Researcher”  knowledge comes out (unsure who John Green is); showing that having a show is simply a matter of having internet access and the ego to try it, on this I agree with the Editor, Founder, Chairman, et. al of  The Bigfootery Enquirer.  Thom Powell was the guest.   His experiences have led him to some conclusions that are unique, and he is a riverman, which is near and dear to the hearts of the staff of The Bigfootery Enquirer.   The first segment was billed as being informational for beginning researchers, ironic, these folks sound like beginners.  But then they used tips from The Bigfootery Enquirer, offensive.  There was good use of bigfootery  slang and some nice screen names. Copy writing for the MABRC site was poor in their commercials, claiming the largest database may be a bit misleading as they collect from others, perhaps the claim should be the largest collection of scalped reports.  Finally the guest came on and fortunately carried the day.  A fiction book on the way.  Funny, he mentioned Franzoni, the hosts had no clue.   Thom was good, and that half hour of the show made the other hour, I actually did some fast forwards, almost worth it.  He did engage in double speak, such as the logical conclusion is there is no conclusion.  He also picked up on bigfoot repellent, camera monitoring.

Bigfoot Live- Biscardi listens to Motown, and is excellent every day.  What hype.  A 60 something guy using the terms baby, brother, man and dude, “off the hook”.  Tom was busy writing up contracts, rumor has it he had to pick up that work after Kull’s departure.  Hints at all kinds of big stuff, but he deflected specifics.  He has bucks for a personal assistant, so things must not be too bad for Searching for Bigfoot, Inc.  It might be my PMS, but after three toots on that damn horn I was ready to toss my laptop.  Oh lord now a shout out where Biscardi said he would rub a chicks chest to make her feel better.  Tom is melancholy and wants to be left alone I’m fine with that.  Promoting two hard hitting pictures and I was dumb enough to go there.  Blobsquatches.   Funny, the website says recent activity but the guest said the photo was from 2007.  Liar, liar pants afire.   Sorry, this volunteer is bailing out even without hearing why Biscardiis sad, the guest are BS’ers.  Now they are backpedaling on a thermal picture that was debunked during the January dust up.   Biscardi then embarked upon pontificating on thermal.  Two videos within 30 days of release, more hype.  BOYCOT! And then, I turned off the darn show.

Squatchdetective -What would be a wrap up that covers Biscardi but leaves out Kulls?  With his big blog post “busting open” the Ga. hoax, my expectations were good.  By the way,  that post was weak and quit saying you were deceived with an email, he simply cannot read.  Based upon that post, grammar, spelling and composition are also challenges for the detective.  Another co-host, I think.  He found humor with the chimp attack, then he called the face transplant the first in the US.  Simply uninformed.  He continued to laugh about that situation.  Left in disgust after 15 minutes or so.  Kulls is full of it, but he has the ability to google stuff about chimps, such intellect.

Editor’s note: Wow, someone was in a bad mood, or listening to these shows can be detrimental to the mental outlook of a mostly normal person.  Usually she has a sunny disposition and can find the good in the worst of days.  I prescribed a mild dose of alcohol and promised not to draft her for this task again, which seemed to soothe the situation.

Inter-net Talk Show round up 1/31 – 2/6/09

I did not have an idea what I was getting into when I agreed to do the weekly bigfootery show update.  The listening was at times tedious, combined with family time and a hectic week at work,   my  time on task was kept to a minimum.  Thank goodness the position of editor of The Bigfootery Enquirer gives me some latitude on production and assignments, this task is going to be reassigned.  There were some entertaining moments and one inspirational incident, but the inter-net bigfootery media moguls, uh mongrels, mongols, whatever,  largely produced little information and insight that anyone but the most desperate for content or something to do would find of value.  But having done the time, I might as well put a few minutes into the round up.

Beyond The Edge- The guest was a no-show and things spiraled down from there.  Listeners were treated to a large dose of profanepompousity, the new Bigfootery Enquirer term/concept of someone pompously being profane.  One of the hosts seemed to be particularly upset about the no-show, he chided a caller about stepping on his comments, refused to participate and eventually left in a snit after the first hour of the show, bigfootery gold in terms of “Bigfoot Researcher” behavior.

SquatchDetective-  Made it through about half of this show on a replay.  Third co-host in as many weeks, perhaps bigfootery is shunning Kulls.  Most of what I listened to were bigfootery war stories, not much usable information from my perspective.

Bigfoot Quest- More bigfootery war stories, on an epic scale.  A bit of a dust up in the chat room as the guests were challenged.

Grey Area- Another replay listen, I have found one can work on excel spreadsheets with these shows playing in the background, at least until you need to scribble up formulas, pivot tables and macro interactions between sheets.  This one gets the nod as the best one I listened to.  They had a very young man on who spoke of his you-tube productions covering crypto creatures.  The audience, hosts and callers were supportive, as they should be once I watched one of his productions.  He needs to take a sheet from the playbook of the show I review next and start selling them instead of you-tubing them.  Actually, that is not true, I think they are much more legitimate the way he is doing it.

Sasquatch Triangle- I have only listened to this show once so perhaps this particular show was not typical.  With that said, this show was a bigfootery info-mercial.  It started with a few plugs for a newsletter the host publishes and distributes via email.  I have not seen this newsletter, but I would suggest saving the $10 and subscribing to Bobbie Short’s newsletter, it’s free and, from the description during the multiple plugs by the host, superior to his product.  Moving on from the plugs of the newsletter, the host went on to plug a documentary he is producing.  That plug was followed by a plug for an update to a publication issued last year.  Can there really be that much new?    That plug was followed by a plug for a website, facebook and myspace pages, which have videos and other content plugging the newsletter, documentary and publication.  And finally there was a long plug for a conference the host produces, particularly a plug for listeners to get their reserved seats as the front row is going fast. 

Wedged between the plugs, and I mean wedged as in a few minutes at the most, there was some derision leveled at a show that is scheduled on the same time and day and some negativity leveled at the MABRC for an appearance on another show.

Next week, different shows and a different correspondent.  Perhaps I will take a week in the future, perhaps I will pull editor’s rank and see if I can coerce someone to keep the inter-net bigfootery talk show beat.  With the exception of the Grey Area, one week brought home to me the concept that anyone with a computer and phone can call themself a bigfootery media mogul, mongrel, mongol.
