Life has a way of ushering us into the depths of introspection, especially when the calendar flips its pages to the end of the year. As I reconnected with a young man with a wise Ol’ soul, Brock Betzler, I found myself unraveling the complex tapestry of joy and burden that had woven itself into my life, leading to an impromptu pause in our regular podcast cadence. It wasn't burnout that halted the gears; rather, it was the realization that the constant whirlwind of busyness could overshadow the true treasures of life. In our latest episode, I offer a raw and honest reflection of this period, dissecting the internal debates that consumed me during a holiday season colored by personal trials and a profound heart-to-heart with Brock. Thank you all for the continued love and support.

Could Bigfoot be more than just an elusive giant in the woods, perhaps even an interdimensional being with capabilities beyond our current scientific understanding? Join me as I sit down with the ever-intriguing Earl Wayne Ballew, a man of melodic talent and a keen interest in the cryptic lore of Bigfoot. We commence our auditory journey by applauding Wayne's musical endeavors, leading into a discussion about the mesmerizing theories surrounding Bigfoot, inspired by the film "A Flash of Beauty: Paranormal Bigfoot." We take a skeptical yet open-minded stance, weaving through eyewitness testimonies and scientific concepts such as the membrane theory, dancing on the edge of reality and myth.From the octopus's extraordinary camouflage to the potential for unheard-of animal abilities, our conversation traverses the thin veil between established science and the enigmatic supernatural. We reflect on historical skepticism faced by now-known animals like gorillas, drawing a parallel to Bigfoot's persistent mystery. Wayne's personal narratives from his police days and my own spooky experience provide a backdrop to our dialogue, adding weight to the idea that some individuals may be more attuned to encounters with the unexplained. We also delve into the gender dynamics within Bigfoot stories, notably referencing the iconic Patterson-Gimlin film, as we navigate the curious intersection of cultural folklore and biological possibility.As the episode draws to a close, we shift our gaze skyward to contemplate UFOs, or UAPs, stirring in the possibility of extraterrestrial life supported by historical references and the cultural impact of media like The X-Files. We discuss the differing perceptions attached to believing in Bigfoot versus aliens and ponder the enigmatic energy of the Pacific Northwest woods, where I plan to return, injury or not. Our anticipation builds for a future rendezvous to dissect 'clusters' of inexplicable events in national parks, leaving our listeners with a sprinkle of quantum physics, a dash of Bigfoot musings, and a myriad of wonders that challenge the fringes of our comprehension.Wayne BallewInstagram: @earlywayneballewhttps://instagram.com/earlywayneballew?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==Shoutout to:Wayne Ballew FilmA Flash of Beauty: Paranormal BigfootDavid Paulides Alter Ego Ambassador: https://alteregorunning.com/Miles & Mountains Promo Code: MMyr2
