And a lot of people wanted to be the first one to summit Everest, the first Westerner, I should say, to summit Everest. So while a lot of them were in the area, they're like, well, we'll look for the abominable snowman while we're here too.

911.801 - 938.047 Chuck

Yeah, and some pretty legendary mountaineers. And granted, these are not like zoologists or anything, but they're respected men in their field. People like Reinhold Messner and one Sir Edmund Hillary, both men. searched for evidence of the Yeti while they were hiking, and Messner even wrote a book called My Quest for the Yeti, Confronting the Himalayas' Deepest Mystery. Right.

938.307 - 957.379 Chuck

But, I mean, well, we'll save the big reveal till the end. Right. Or the third act of this show. Okay. Is there a third act? Yeah, there's got to be. Okay. We're in big trouble if there's not. Well, why don't we take a break, and then we'll come back and talk a little bit about a couple more of these reported sightings. Let's do it. All right.

971.399 - 971.959 Chuck

All right.

975.582 - 981.966 Unknown Speaker

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways.
