Matt LankfordGUEST
After Roger Patterson filmed Patty, he was on his knees in a sandbar and where her trackway was.
Matt LankfordGUEST
That distance in a recreation, Peter Byrne was there just within a few days after that filming.
Matt LankfordGUEST
And he put a man named Hodgkins, a man of known height of about six foot tall, in the same pathway that Patty walked.
Matt LankfordGUEST
And taking photographs from where Roger Patterson was at the sandbar using known trees and fallen logs.
CianHOST
Huge thanks to Rob Valentine for sending coffee as well.
CianHOST
here's to your future expeditions to various lost worlds hidden kingdoms and primordial micro climates always remember to bring something back so thanks rob who's always a big supporter of the show huge thanks to lisa grim who's been on before and looking forward to the new direction can't wait to listen setting up my own explorers club ambience for the next episode perhaps a peter byrne dive in the future yeah one of my favorite bigfooters Irishman Peter Byrne and a real sort of a late period kind of almost almost like the vibe of a colonial era adventurer but very late in the game he was doing his thing in the 1950s and 60s right up until until recent times so yeah that i think i think if we if we get the right kind of angle on that i i'd love to do it that'd be great fun okay uh i'm gonna say thanks to i'm just looking through my messages here thanks to tracing owls and who's probably well known amongst uh well-known cryptozoological podcaster and uh i suppose a trickster figure of of zoology podcasting and sent me a long list of of potential topics i'm scrolling back through the chat looking for it Right, this is Cian from a little bit later.
CianHOST
I've tracked down some of those ideas for future episodes.
CianHOST
They include cryptozoological animals such as the Malagasy hippopotamus, which is interesting.
Cliff BarackmanHOST
You know, I don't know a lot of the history involved, but I'm pretty sure Revelation was before that.
Matt PruittPANELIST
Maybe as a quick game, Cliff mentioned in the main show, but the four horsemen being John Green, Grover Krantz, Rene DeHinden, and Peter Byrne.
Matt PruittPANELIST
So as a quick game, we'll see who do you think could identify with these.
Matt PruittPANELIST
So one of them has to be the horsemen of conquest or glory.
Matt PruittPANELIST
I would say that's probably Peter Byrne.
Matt PruittPANELIST
He seems to align with that mindset.
Matt PruittPANELIST
One of them has to be the four horsemen of war.

Tom SeawoodGUEST

Tom SeawoodGUEST

Tom SeawoodGUEST
listened to the words of Peter Byrne, the late Sasquatch grandfather, and realized that they were like that.
Tom SeawoodGUEST
They were rough around the edges.
Ryan GecknerHOST
He did.
Chris DalyHOST
Um- So there's one more, Peter Byrne, who-
Ryan GecknerHOST
Yeah
Chris DalyHOST
... passed recently.
Ryan GecknerHOST
Yeah, seriously, right? For real.
Chris DalyHOST
All right.
Chris DalyHOST
So this guy, Peter Byrne, was an Irish American cryptozoologist, and he was financed by Tom Slick, who was a Texas oil guy.
Ryan GecknerHOST
Mm-hmm.
Simon WhistlerHOST
He sustained a nasty fall that busted his knee pretty good and left him with chronic pain.
Simon WhistlerHOST
At the insistence of his mother, he would abstain from fieldwork from then on, surrendering leadership to explorer and cryptozoologist Peter Byrne.
Simon WhistlerHOST
During their first expedition, the team collected more of the same kind of evidence as before.
Simon WhistlerHOST
Over a dozen testimonies from people who claimed to have seen the Yeti, and casts of unidentified footprints.
Simon WhistlerHOST
Also, more casts of footprints, and most notably, a Yeti finger.
Simon WhistlerHOST
Now, this is undoubtedly the most bizarre event in the saga of the Abominable Snowman, so here's the story.
Simon WhistlerHOST
Peter Byrne, the guy who was leading the expedition, found out that the monks at Pangboche had also got a Yeti hand, not just a scalp.
Simon WhistlerHOST
Tom Slick wanted it, but the llamas refused to sell it to him.
Derek RandlesGUEST
Yeah, they were huge.
Derek RandlesGUEST
And it was really funny because he, you know, I have a very funny story about Peter Byrne as well, but this was a good one because Grover, you know, he talked to me and he made it okay for me to come visit him, but I could tell he was just like irritated.
Derek RandlesGUEST
He's like, I don't have time for you.
Matt PruittPANELIST
And so I was trying to be as polite as I could, but try to get as much
