TV Tango: After you went squatching with the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Group, do you believe in Bigfoot more or less than before that experience?

Larry the Cable Guy: Less.

TV Tango: Why? I take it you didn’t see him?

Larry the Cable Guy: Well, I didn’t see him. Look, it makes them happy to hunt for Bigfoot so you know I’m glad that that’s what this show’s about. I may think it’s ridiculous and I may not believe in Bigfoot, but these guys go out on the weekends and it makes them happy.

And at some point, they actually think they’ll find Bigfoot. You know what, as long as that makes their life complete, I could care less if they hunt Bigfoot all day, it ain’t bothering me at all.

Now do I think there’s a Bigfoot? No, and the reason I don’t is the only thing anybody ever sees of a Bigfoot is the tracks. Oh, they always see tracks and they hear him howl, but they don’t got a picture out of him. [Check out some audio recordings from the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Group.]

Everything’s got cell phones. You can put a camera on your eyelid and take a picture of something, but nobody’s ever seen a picture of a Bigfoot.

So I went out with these guys and it made for a fun night. They were awesome. I went to Colorado with them and they’re good folks, but I do not believe in Bigfoot. No one will run across a Bigfoot.

TV Tango: So while you were out with them, did you try playing a practical joke on them by getting someone to howl in the distance, making them think something was actually there?

Larry the Cable Guy: Yes, we actually did do that. We actually had somebody who went out and they were howling, and somebody howled back and they thought it was a Bigfoot.

So we did do that, but like I said, they were fun guys and they were out there with their girlfriends.

You know what, I think it’s more of a time for people to get together and drink, and they had beer and a campfire. I think it’s more of a party than it is a sasquatch hunt, you know what I mean?

TV Tango: So you went to Army sniper school and I understand you were able to shoot a target about 1000 meters away. So what sniper test did you fail while you were there? [Check out this video interview with him about his sniper experience.]

Larry the Cable Guy: You know what, I got to tell you they were pretty impressed. I’m out of shape, and I’m 48 years old. I was 15 or 20 years older than a lot of them.

But the only thing that I didn’t do good? I still did all right. Let’s see, I shot three oranges off a tank turret at about 738 yards.

Shot a watermelon, I was fourth and final in that. Then I had to shoot the sniper coin off of a little wire fence post, and my first shot I nicked it on the top right but I wanted to get it dead center. Took me about 11 shots, I never did [hit it dead center], but I kept flustering my shots right underneath it and right on top of it; so not too bad for a guy that’s got a tremor in his hand. I did pretty good; I nicked it.

Then I did put on the ghillie suit and crawled. They taught me how to crawl, and they had some spotters trying to find us and they never found us. The only time they found us was when it was over and I was walking away, and my ghillie suit was coming down over my butt crack -- the guy saw my butt crack in the binoculars.

And then I did the ghillie wash where you hop in an old Georgia canal. You got obstacles in this gross nasty canal, and you’ve got to crawl through this wall and do the obstacles. I did all that.

So I don’t think I failed anything. I only did half of the ghillie wash, but I still did the ghillie wash. So they gave me a certificate. Out of all the shows I did -- this year or last year -- that’s one of my favorite ones.

I felt a sense of accomplishment after I did that because I didn’t say I wasn’t going to do anything. So I got to see what those guys go through and I mean just amazing guys.

So I really enjoyed it.

TV Tango: I heard that you gained weight filming Season 2, which version of MARPAT (versions of camouflage) did you find more slimming, the desert variant, woodland version or snow type?

Larry the Cable Guy: Which is more slimming? The more slimming would probably be the snow pattern. I would say the snow pattern. However, if I put on the snow pattern, it would probably look like a blizzard was coming at them, so might want to stay with the woodland camo.

At least I’d look like a big clump of dirt.
