Denver Riggleman, former congressman for Virginia’s 5th District and noted Bigfoot enthusiast, joins Jonah on today’s episode for a colorful discussion of Americans’ freedom to believe anything they want. Sometimes, the consequences can be tragic, as in the case of January 6. But they can also be truly spectacular, and for proof, look no further than those who believe Bigfoot is an interdimensional traveler, psychedelic prophet, and alien scout. Before diving headfirst into Sasquatch lore, the pair also explore fine liquor, what it’s really like inside the House Freedom Caucus, and Denver’s experiences running for office. It’s a Remnant André the Giant wouldn’t want you to miss.

    Gotta say, I had low expectations going into it this (due to mostly my fault for not doing any research on the guy) but its a shame that GOP felt the need to push this guy out.

    No offense, but I did fall asleep and missed the ending about big foot erotica. Did I miss anything substantial? Also: First day in the House Freedom Caucus: "Are you guys on drugs?" WOW.

    Policy wonkishness and charisma coming out the ears? This guy should be the future. He probably won’t be, but he should be.

    Great Pod! Never heard Riggleman before, this was so good. We need more people like him running our country.

    Yet another Republican I would vote for, no matter who his opponent. I am up to about 19 or 20. How come everybody on that list is retiring or about to get knocked out in a primary challenge? Weird, right?

      Strangely enough, I listened to the whole episode and didn't even notice. Maybe I'm just too used to it at this point.

        I'm an Air Force crew dog (retired). They sounded like guys in an average USAF squadron.

    Jonah, you’ve now told the white whiskey story about me at least twice. While I remember the details slightly differently than you, it would be helpful if you’d try some of our products so at least you could finish the story with “but now it’s one of the most awarded craft distilleries in the US.” If someone will send me a Dispatch shipping address, I’ll send you some free whiskey and see if I can update that story for you.

    This was an awesome episode. I remember seeing his name a bunch so makes sense that he represented Charlottesville. I’d support him in a governor run. I’m still registered to vote in that state. As a newcomer to the Bigfoot stuff, I had no idea it was so entertaining.

    First off, wow. Platonic ideal of a Remnant episode: weak parties, Bigfoot, niche 70s TV references.

    Re: kill/no kill. Apparently it's a matter of debate whether Bigfoot should be killed in order to prove his existence and study him. A prominent researcher made a stir in the Squatch community by admitting he would kill Bigfoot if given the opportunity. If people keep trying to give him gluten, the question may resolve itself.
