Close Encounters of the Bigfoot Kind with Phillip James Latham

This week on Meet My Friends, my friend (and movie producer) Phillip James Latham joins me fresh from completing his new documentary, "American Sasquatch: Man, Myth or Monster." Buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into the deep end of Bigfoot territory—and it's way stranger than you think.
We explore two wildly different perspectives on Bigfoot, from curious cryptid to ancient ally of indigenous tribes. Phillip shares first-hand stories from his production, including a genuinely eerie encounter alone in a tree post deep in the woods, and a tale from an interviewee involving an overly affectionate female Sasquatch. Plus, we've got audio from Ron Morehead’s legendary Bigfoot recordings from the 1970s.
But it doesn't end there—we also talk mysterious ancient columns discovered beneath the Egyptian pyramids, secret moon meetings involving the Intergalactic Federation, and the elusive Solar Warden program. And yes, we even unpack what happens when you return home from Costa Rica, enthusiastically sharing the good word of cannabis with your parents (thanks, Phil).
Whether you're a Bigfoot believer, alien enthusiast, or just love a good paranormal story, this episode is packed with humor, mystery, and unforgettable moments. Don't miss it!
✨ Topics Covered:
Bigfoot theories, history, and fascinating stories from production
Bigfoot audio evidence from Ron Morehead’s archives
Breaking news in Egypt! Discovered ancient columns beneath the pyramids

Welcome back, Addicts! This week's episode of Bravoholics Anonymous kicks off with an emotional (yet hilarious) tribute to Godzilla, the beloved 30-year-old Cuban iguana from Denise Richards' new reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.
