The Fake DNA Test Enraging the Bigfoot Hunting Community (Premium E354) Sample
Summary
In this episode, hosts Jake, Julian, and Travis discuss the declining state of Bigfoot hunting and the controversy surrounding "Snake," a hunter who claims to have found a preserved Bigfoot body in New York. They examine Snake’s dubious DNA results, which link the creature to Neanderthals, and the subsequent denial from Cornell University. The group debates whether Snake is a genuine discoverer or a performance artist creating an elaborate hoax, while also touching on recent viral marketing campaigns and debunked documentaries that have further eroded public interest in cryptids.
