Bryant Arnold

I'm doing well.

Thanks for having me on.

I appreciate it.

Awesome.

You can call me whatever you choose.

That was not a self-given nickname, but it has stuck and it probably rolls off the tongue a little easier than Bryant Arnold does.

So if you want to go with Dragon, I'm fine with that.

Yeah, that's a question I get a lot.

As I mentioned, it's certainly not a self-given nickname.

It came about due to, well, somewhat of

the previous ownership, Bigelow era, and some of the security guards that he had out here, as well as some folks that tried to come visit the ranch and were not allowed to be on the ranch and then have an online presence and decided to make up a few interesting stories.

So I guess the long and short is I'll just walk through it.

Previously, Bigelow, during the Bigelow era, he hired former, you know, military,

Uh, you know, special forces, whatever black ops guys, I don't know exactly who they were, but I guess one of them had code name dragon and he was known to be rather, uh, violent and I guess, um, pretty tough to deal with.

And so we had some people come.

to the ranch that wanted access to the property and I couldn't let them do that.

And, uh, so, you know, we had a, what turned into somewhat of a heated discussion because many of the enthusiasts feel like because they have an interest in the property, they have, they should have a right to be on the property.

But at the end of the day, it's private property.

And, you know, my job is to, you know, maintain the scientific integrity of the ranch and, you know, make sure that we don't have any undue liability or injuries or anything like that, because it's a dangerous place on its own, regardless of any type of phenomenon that's going on here.

So anyway, they weren't happy.
