Summary
Host Matt interviews Joel Sturgis, creator of After Hours AM, who recounts a 1990s Bigfoot sighting near the Minnesota Iceman location. They discuss the Iceman case, the plausibility of multiple hominid species, and the lack of credible evidence for Dogmen. The conversation also explores the intersection of Bigfoot, UFOs, and paranormal phenomena, with both hosts maintaining a skeptical stance on supernatural explanations while acknowledging the physical reality of their encounters.
