158: Shedularity

Episode Transcript

[0:00:34 – 0:00:42] Adam: Welcome to Tumble Home, a Boundary Waters podcast, and a proud independent podcast at that.
[0:00:43 – 0:00:48] Adam: My name is Francois Lacosteur, coming to you live from the Tumble Shed.
[0:00:48 – 0:00:54] Adam: I’m joined here in the shed by my best man, Eric.
[0:00:54 – 0:00:55] Adam: Hello, Eric.
[0:00:55 – 0:00:58] Erik: Hello, thanks for having me in the shed.
[0:00:58 – 0:01:03] Erik: Cannot wait to talk more about this shed, potential home for me.
[0:01:05 – 0:01:09] Adam: Got plenty of space in here for you and Gordy.
[0:01:10 – 0:01:11] Adam: No problemo.
[0:01:12 – 0:01:14] Adam: We got everything moved out here finally.
[0:01:15 – 0:01:17] Adam: First official recording from the new studio.
[0:01:18 – 0:01:24] Adam: It is not known as the new Studio K or the studio formerly known as K.
[0:01:25 – 0:01:27] Adam: We’re going with Tumble Shed.
[0:01:27 – 0:01:40] Adam: We dabbled with possibly having a contest, but I didn’t want to end up in Sheddy McShedface or Studio Z or something bizarre.
[0:01:40 – 0:01:43] Adam: So we’re just going with Tumble Shed for now.
[0:01:43 – 0:01:47] Adam: Maybe we will have a contest in the future, but we got to live in it for a while, you know?
[0:01:48 – 0:01:49] Erik: Yeah, no, it’s fresh.
[0:01:50 – 0:01:54] Erik: It smells like hay and dog and it smells like a shed.
[0:01:58 – 0:02:00] Adam: Yeah, but it’s still a pretty nice shed.
[0:02:00 – 0:02:01] Erik: No, I’m not.
[0:02:01 – 0:02:04] Erik: Yeah, there was nothing in there that I felt was really criticizing the shed.
[0:02:04 – 0:02:06] Erik: If anything, those were all compliments.
[0:02:06 – 0:02:07] Erik: No, I can tell.
[0:02:07 – 0:02:07] Adam: I’m happy to be here.
[0:02:08 – 0:02:12] Adam: I can tell already that I’m going to hang out in here a lot, not just when we’re recording.
[0:02:12 – 0:02:15] Adam: I’m going to spend a lot more time in the studio from now on.
[0:02:16 – 0:02:16] Adam: Nice.
[0:02:17 – 0:02:18] Adam: We got Wi-Fi out here.
[0:02:18 – 0:02:19] Adam: We got electricity.
[0:02:19 – 0:02:20] Adam: We got the big map.
[0:02:21 – 0:02:25] Adam: We’re back with regular microphones, plugged-in microphones.
[0:02:25 – 0:02:28] Erik: I think you’d have to go back to May.
[0:02:29 – 0:02:30] Adam: It’s been quite a while.
[0:02:30 – 0:02:30] Adam: Yeah.
[0:02:30 – 0:02:31] Adam: For sure.
[0:02:31 – 0:02:35] Erik: I had to go through the checklist of how do I set up the record again?
[0:02:36 – 0:02:36] Erik: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:02:37 – 0:02:37] Erik: Okay, we’re good.
[0:02:37 – 0:02:42] Erik: It’s not just the press record on the field mic and then yak at each other and it happened.
[0:02:42 – 0:02:44] Erik: Maybe we’ll catch some of our audio.
[0:02:44 – 0:02:44] Erik: Maybe we won’t.
[0:02:45 – 0:02:53] Erik: The beauty of the double microphone is it gets everything that we say, but the downside is then a lot more opportunity for talking over each other.
[0:02:54 – 0:02:59] Erik: So let’s see if we can find our studio legs on this episode.
[0:02:59 – 0:03:00] Adam: Yeah, that’s true.
[0:03:00 – 0:03:02] Adam: You don’t have to pass the mic back and forth anymore.
[0:03:02 – 0:03:02] Adam: No.
[0:03:03 – 0:03:03] Adam: Is that the thing?
[0:03:04 – 0:03:05] Erik: It’s yours.
[0:03:05 – 0:03:05] Erik: You have your own.
[0:03:05 – 0:03:07] Adam: Yeah, I sure do.
[0:03:07 – 0:03:13] Erik: We have to look at each other, find the cues, and move forward in an appropriate manner.
[0:03:14 – 0:03:19] Erik: We are, as always, sponsored by our fine friends.
[0:03:21 – 0:03:21] Erik: on Patreon.
[0:03:23 – 0:03:29] Erik: You’ve all heard, I’m assuming at this point, if you’re listening to 158, the episode that came out last week.
[0:03:30 – 0:03:35] Erik: And I’m not going to go into a whole thing again.
[0:03:35 – 0:03:38] Erik: You want to revisit that to see how I feel.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:41] Erik: I think I still feel the same way, more or less.
[0:03:41 – 0:03:47] Erik: But the difference at this point, a week removed now almost from when that episode came out, is that…
[0:03:49 – 0:04:13] Erik: My insides were filled with support and appreciation, gratitude, stories from people that kind of went through the same thing and how they dealt with it in a way that I guess I should have expected it because I know how passionate our listeners are.
[0:04:14 – 0:04:14] Erik: And
[0:04:15 – 0:04:27] Erik: But it still did take me by surprise the number of emails I receive from people with their best wishes, blessings, support, commiserations.
[0:04:28 – 0:04:32] Erik: And I’m not necessarily good at stuff like that.
[0:04:33 – 0:04:36] Erik: But I think at the end of the day, I just want you all to know that
[0:04:37 – 0:04:40] Erik: I felt much love and I appreciated it greatly.
[0:04:40 – 0:04:48] Erik: I don’t think I’m through the woods in any way, shape or form and what my mental state is going to be going forward.
[0:04:48 – 0:04:53] Erik: But you all did a lot to help me not just dwell on my own thoughts.
[0:04:54 – 0:04:59] Erik: And without talking about it for an extended period of time, let me just say I greatly appreciate it.
[0:05:00 – 0:05:01] Erik: I also love you all.
[0:05:01 – 0:05:03] Erik: And thank you.
[0:05:04 – 0:05:05] Erik: Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
[0:05:06 – 0:05:07] Adam: We love you, Eric.
[0:05:07 – 0:05:07] Adam: Thank you.
[0:05:08 – 0:05:14] Adam: Yeah, I think like the Event Horizon post had like more comments than almost any other post in the subreddit history.
[0:05:14 – 0:05:16] Adam: We’ll have to look into that for the tumblies.
[0:05:18 – 0:05:22] Adam: You know, it was some really nice, not nice.
[0:05:22 – 0:05:25] Adam: It was, as you said, heartfelt.
[0:05:25 – 0:05:30] Adam: A lot of, you know, just a lot of like people being true.
[0:05:30 – 0:05:31] Erik: yeah, it wasn’t cookie cutter.
[0:05:31 – 0:05:33] Erik: Here’s the sympathy card from Walmart.
[0:05:33 – 0:05:44] Erik: It was, um, you know, actual people taking their own time to respond in specifics that they were able to relate to me.
[0:05:44 – 0:05:47] Erik: That was actually, you know, actually helpful.
[0:05:47 – 0:05:50] Erik: It wasn’t just a, Oh, here’s a bunch of, I’m sorry.
[0:05:50 – 0:05:52] Erik: Or, you know, you chin up, you know, best of wishes.
[0:05:52 – 0:05:56] Erik: It was like, Hey, here’s an example of when something like this happened to me.
[0:05:56 – 0:05:58] Erik: And this is what helped me get through it.
[0:05:59 – 0:05:59] Erik: Um,
[0:06:00 – 0:06:03] Erik: And I tried to get back to almost all of the emails I received.
[0:06:04 – 0:06:11] Erik: The subreddit community came through in a way that was like, I can’t just go through and individually respond to all of these.
[0:06:11 – 0:06:14] Erik: So I’ve done it here and I’m going to do it here.
[0:06:16 – 0:06:17] Erik: I might put something else out there.
[0:06:17 – 0:06:24] Erik: Just, I know it’s maybe it’s lazy or whatever, but man, it’s a lot of responses to try to get back to individually.
[0:06:24 – 0:06:30] Erik: I can assure you, I read all of them individually and I took them all to heart and I am still processing the whole thing.
[0:06:31 – 0:06:32] Erik: Um, but the show must go on.
[0:06:33 – 0:06:44] Erik: And I invariably, if there were emails that I responded to, um, you know, the light at that end of, uh, the tunnel that I explained to people was that I am
[0:06:45 – 0:06:59] Erik: I’m still up in the air about my own personal future, but the Tumble Home future is bright, and I am excited to move forward in a lot of different ways, specifically with you, Adam, behind the microphones here in the new Shed studio.
[0:06:59 – 0:07:03] Adam: Yeah, it seems like a good time to switch studios.
[0:07:03 – 0:07:03] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:03 – 0:07:06] Adam: And so I’m glad we got this thing finished just in time.
[0:07:06 – 0:07:07] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:07 – 0:07:08] Adam: It’s not quite finished, but it’s getting there.
[0:07:09 – 0:07:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:09 – 0:07:25] Erik: So along with the massive amount of general emotional support and just, you know, we’re here for you and whatever that means, you know, the Patreon did see a bit of an uptick, which is amazing as well.
[0:07:25 – 0:07:26] Adam: You’ll love to see it.
[0:07:26 – 0:07:27] Erik: You’ll love to see it.
[0:07:27 – 0:07:35] Erik: You know, it was never the thinking at the beginning of the scenario of this whole podcast that money was a factor with it.
[0:07:35 – 0:07:40] Erik: But who would have thought three years in it would be my only job.
[0:07:41 – 0:07:42] Erik: So, yeah.
[0:07:42 – 0:07:43] Erik: And again, I’m not trying to sell it.
[0:07:43 – 0:07:44] Erik: I’ve never wanted to.
[0:07:44 – 0:07:52] Erik: But again, if you’re on the fence, you know, hey, I’m going to be putting more into the Patreon and generally this podcast than I probably ever have before.
[0:07:53 – 0:08:09] Erik: um and specifically tonight after this episode we’re talking about a goofy movie whose idea was that it was yours it was my idea yeah i don’t know if it’s your idea but it’s your pick
[0:08:09 – 0:08:17] Erik: I think somebody suggested it a long time ago, and I don’t know what, for whatever reason, I was having a conversation with somebody about Disney movies and what some of my favorites are.
[0:08:18 – 0:08:25] Erik: And I was like, oh, man, I think I remember liking a Goofy movie when I was a kid, but I guarantee if I revisit it, I won’t like it.
[0:08:25 – 0:08:26] Erik: And I was like, let’s do it.
[0:08:26 – 0:08:27] Erik: Let’s revisit it.
[0:08:27 – 0:08:30] Erik: And we’re going to after this episode.
[0:08:30 – 0:08:33] Erik: And if you want to hear us talk about that, that’s $5 a month.
[0:08:35 – 0:09:03] Adam: I can’t believe that was your pick I was bamboozled and shocked but it was pretty good it was pretty good I definitely have never seen it before so it’s always a treat when you’re getting a new movie even if it doesn’t matter if you’re watching a new movie it’s always entertaining the first time in some way I found a lot to like about the Goofy movie ah Goofy movie excuse me the heyday of Pauly Shore
[0:09:03 – 0:09:29] Adam: wow i couldn’t believe it i honestly thought the uh the band leader at the end was actually played by prince oh i have a lot of things to say on okay uh power line yeah yeah i have a lot of thoughts on power line the general the general lessons that one would glean from the from this movie yeah um
[0:09:30 – 0:09:34] Adam: It’s nice to be sitting back here at the table at the big mics just seeing eye to eye.
[0:09:34 – 0:09:34] Adam: Eye to eye.
[0:09:35 – 0:09:35] Adam: Eye to eye.
[0:09:35 – 0:09:36] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:09:39 – 0:10:00] Adam: uh yeah eric’s definitely gonna be putting out a lot more of his elocutions as well i was trying to figure out uh alliteration for adam what could be my uh meandering thoughts yeah and i did have one somewhere i didn’t write it down though there’s uh you can google it it’s the online thesaurus there you go for elocutions it’s in there somewhere
[0:10:01 – 0:10:24] Adam: um so i don’t know i don’t know i will do some too but i am uh i’m still i’m just i’m working all the time still i don’t have time for that right now so eric’s gonna have to carry the load on the extra elocutions for now yeah but i’ll get there thanks for rubbing it in gainfully employed adam over here uh i have i’ve made a standing member of society i’m president of the lions club oh my god
[0:10:25 – 0:10:28] Erik: Well, I’ve got a few things I would say to you if that was the case.
[0:10:28 – 0:10:30] SPEAKER_00: Where’s the Chinese food truck?
[0:10:31 – 0:10:32] Adam: I’m just kidding around.
[0:10:32 – 0:10:33] Adam: I’m not in the Lions.
[0:10:34 – 0:10:39] Adam: I’d be the youngest member by about 48 years probably if I were to join the Lions.
[0:10:39 – 0:10:41] Adam: Why was there no Chinese food truck?
[0:10:41 – 0:10:42] Erik: That’s the question.
[0:10:42 – 0:10:44] Adam: I mean, it’s the only good part.
[0:10:44 – 0:10:45] Adam: That and the bingo.
[0:10:45 – 0:10:46] Adam: And there wasn’t any bingo either.
[0:10:46 – 0:10:48] Erik: Well, they blame that on road construction.
[0:10:49 – 0:10:49] Adam: Well, that’s fine.
[0:10:49 – 0:10:56] Adam: And I understand there are some other reasons like change in ownership and structures of some of the properties that usually host the bingo.
[0:10:56 – 0:10:58] Adam: We could have had bingo somewhere else.
[0:10:59 – 0:10:59] Adam: Gee whiz.
[0:11:00 – 0:11:07] Erik: You mean the Christian Youth Center didn’t want to host a beer garden slash bingo hall for 48 hours straight?
[0:11:07 – 0:11:09] Adam: They should have just put it out on Artist Point or something.
[0:11:10 – 0:11:11] Adam: Goodness gracious.
[0:11:11 – 0:11:12] Adam: No bingo and no Chinese.
[0:11:13 – 0:11:14] Adam: You know, it…
[0:11:15 – 0:11:20] Adam: Yeah, I mean, it’s not really even good Chinese food, let alone great.
[0:11:20 – 0:11:24] Adam: But for up here in Grand Marais, it’s pretty darn good Chinese food.
[0:11:24 – 0:11:25] Adam: I look forward to it.
[0:11:26 – 0:11:30] Adam: And I actually heard it wasn’t there, and I took a walk downtown anyways just to make sure.
[0:11:31 – 0:11:36] Adam: Just an empty street with a couple tumbleweeds.
[0:11:36 – 0:11:36] Adam: Where did they come from?
[0:11:37 – 0:11:39] Adam: Blowing down the middle of the street.
[0:11:39 – 0:11:45] Adam: And then I did see a youth trying to show off doing wheelies on the bike.
[0:11:46 – 0:11:48] Adam: Just crush a street sign.
[0:11:49 – 0:11:50] Adam: Carnage.
[0:11:50 – 0:11:51] Erik: Carnage.
[0:11:51 – 0:11:52] Adam: Youth carnage.
[0:11:52 – 0:11:53] Adam: Youth carnage.
[0:11:53 – 0:11:56] Adam: And no Chinese food, but I did see that, which was pretty fun.
[0:11:58 – 0:12:19] Erik: nice well that does sound like fun i that was my fisherman’s picnic experience yeah my fisherman’s picnic experience was days removed from uh a home and a career and so i just was sort of like john travolta memeing myself around town like what is this what where are the why is this why is the street blocked off there’s nothing happening here
[0:12:19 – 0:12:44] Adam: yeah they still blocked the street off but they didn’t allow the food trucks to come in i guess it was the excuse was they wanted to help local business literally every business in town is currently uh on uh they’re all looking to murder i think nobody’s even doing takeout uh there is the people are closed multiple days a week just can’t get enough people to fill the shifts and uh
[0:12:45 – 0:12:48] Adam: Generally, business is just fine.
[0:12:48 – 0:12:50] Adam: I’d say it’s even a booming.
[0:12:51 – 0:12:53] Adam: I didn’t need any help.
[0:12:53 – 0:12:55] Adam: I just needed Chinese food.
[0:12:55 – 0:13:04] Adam: Literally, nobody on the Lions Club, within even 20 years of having to hold down a job, they are so out of touch.
[0:13:04 – 0:13:11] Adam: with the actual working man and woman that they made this decision.
[0:13:11 – 0:13:18] Adam: And I can forgive, perhaps, but I will never forget Fisherman’s Picnic 2021.
[0:13:19 – 0:13:26] Adam: That’s on top of Fisherman’s Picnic 2020, which was canceled, so no Chinese food truck or bingo.
[0:13:26 – 0:13:29] Adam: But then at the last minute when they realized every bed in town was full,
[0:13:30 – 0:13:34] Adam: They were like, yeah, I guess we still will do the parade and the fireworks.
[0:13:34 – 0:13:34] Adam: The heck with it.
[0:13:35 – 0:13:36] Adam: The heck with it.
[0:13:36 – 0:13:37] Adam: So it wasn’t really canceled after all.
[0:13:37 – 0:13:40] Adam: But again, no Chinese food truck this two years in a row.
[0:13:40 – 0:13:40] Adam: It hurts.
[0:13:41 – 0:13:41] Erik: Yeah.
[0:13:41 – 0:13:44] Erik: I mean, for cripes sake, the DQ is closed on Wednesdays.
[0:13:45 – 0:13:47] Adam: Yeah, I mean, just generally, it’s insane.
[0:13:47 – 0:13:49] Adam: And who’s open on a day-to-day basis?
[0:13:49 – 0:13:50] Adam: It’s literally nobody.
[0:13:50 – 0:13:55] Adam: So, yeah, I know you’re going through some stuff, Eric, but I didn’t get any Chinese food.
[0:13:56 – 0:13:57] Adam: It’s a crime against me.
[0:13:57 – 0:14:00] Erik: Well, that really puts it into perspective for me, so I’m going to take that.
[0:14:01 – 0:14:01] Adam: Yeah.
[0:14:01 – 0:14:03] Adam: You know, just living in the moment.
[0:14:03 – 0:14:03] Erik: Yeah.
[0:14:04 – 0:14:06] Adam: You know, just taking it step by step.
[0:14:07 – 0:14:08] Erik: Yeah.
[0:14:08 – 0:14:10] Erik: And we are, we’re taking it step by step.
[0:14:10 – 0:14:17] Erik: We’re living in the moment where we are, we’re not delving straight back into hard hitting boundary waters content.
[0:14:18 – 0:14:18] Erik: Um,
[0:14:18 – 0:14:24] Erik: There’s a very real possibility that there’s going to be more Boundary Waters adjacent conversations.
[0:14:26 – 0:14:30] Erik: This one’s going to be more of your, what did you call it?
[0:14:30 – 0:14:32] Erik: The hot dish buffet.
[0:14:32 – 0:14:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:14:33 – 0:14:34] Erik: The Northwoods.
[0:14:34 – 0:14:35] Erik: How’s the fricassee?
[0:14:35 – 0:14:43] Erik: That’s Marge at the buffet in Fargo style episode where, yeah, there’s definitely some Boundary Waters things that we’re going to talk about.
[0:14:43 – 0:14:45] Adam: We’ve got to transition back into it.
[0:14:45 – 0:14:50] Erik: Yeah, it’s been a weird, let me tell you, it’s been a weird, weird, wild couple of weeks.
[0:14:51 – 0:14:56] Adam: Yeah, I’m, you know, the next big episode coming up is like, how do you handle fire bans?
[0:14:56 – 0:14:57] Adam: For sure.
[0:14:57 – 0:15:04] Adam: I would go ahead and guess, I haven’t looked, I’d go ahead and guess we got about 228 comments on the subreddit on that one.
[0:15:04 – 0:15:05] Erik: Yeah, there’s some comments on that.
[0:15:06 – 0:15:11] Adam: It’s going to be an episode or two or three on that, but I don’t know, it just seemed like it was,
[0:15:11 – 0:15:13] Adam: Too serious to get right back to it.
[0:15:14 – 0:15:18] Adam: I just wanted to like relax in the new studio and we’ll transition back into it.
[0:15:18 – 0:15:19] Adam: There’s plenty to talk about.
[0:15:19 – 0:15:22] Adam: And I honestly don’t think the fire danger is going away anytime soon.
[0:15:22 – 0:15:22] Adam: No.
[0:15:22 – 0:15:27] Adam: We will talk more about what fires are currently burning and who started them.
[0:15:28 – 0:15:52] Adam: later in the show names will be named yeah we’re doxing oh we’re doxing and uh so well that’ll kind of you know fire update it’s still dry and dusty and that’ll uh that’ll serve as a nice transition episode and then next week we’ll dive back into the real meat on how do you handle camping without campfires yeah you know what’s the deal it’s literally in the name of the fire
[0:15:52 – 0:15:53] Erik: I have some thoughts.
[0:15:53 – 0:15:58] Erik: I think that I feel one way and I also feel pretty hard on the other end of it.
[0:15:59 – 0:16:09] Erik: But before we get into the whatever you want to call it, the fricassee of this episode, we’re also sponsored.
[0:16:09 – 0:16:12] Adam: It’s the Tumble Home Charcuterie.
[0:16:12 – 0:16:16] Erik: We’re also sponsored this week by a six pack and we’re going to drink all of them.
[0:16:16 – 0:16:20] Erik: I can assure you that because we need a little bit of some pleasantness in our life.
[0:16:21 – 0:16:31] Erik: A nice, peaceful, pastoral, serene, almost too good to be true.
[0:16:31 – 0:16:32] Erik: Wow.
[0:16:32 – 0:16:33] Erik: Pleasant Street.
[0:16:33 – 0:16:34] Erik: These are from Michael.
[0:16:35 – 0:16:39] Erik: We got some cream ale from Limestone Brewers.
[0:16:40 – 0:16:42] Erik: Osage, Iowa.
[0:16:42 – 0:16:42] Erik: Osage?

[0:17:15 – 0:17:16] Adam: It’s been a long week.
[0:17:16 – 0:17:16] Erik: Oh.
[0:17:18 – 0:17:19] Erik: That’s cream ale, all right.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:27] Erik: Oh, also, a part of one of my back molars just fell out last night, so I got that going for me, too.
[0:17:27 – 0:17:28] Adam: Our pet’s heads are falling off.
[0:17:29 – 0:17:30] Adam: Teeth are crumbling out of my mouth.
[0:17:32 – 0:17:33] Adam: Take care of yourself, Eric.
[0:17:33 – 0:17:34] Erik: I have been.
[0:17:34 – 0:17:36] Erik: I was literally at the dentist a month ago.
[0:17:36 – 0:17:38] Erik: They were like, you have really good gums.
[0:17:38 – 0:17:38] Erik: Oh, that’s weird.
[0:17:38 – 0:17:40] Erik: I can tell that you take care of your teeth.
[0:17:40 – 0:17:40] Erik: That’s weird.
[0:17:40 – 0:17:41] Adam: Yeah, and then like…
[0:17:42 – 0:17:42] Adam: They did it.
[0:17:43 – 0:17:44] Erik: Yeah, that’s weird.
[0:17:44 – 0:17:48] Adam: We’re just going to maybe… Trust your healthcare professionals.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:49] Adam: I don’t want to sow doubt.
[0:17:50 – 0:17:55] Adam: But literally, I don’t trust dentists, though, so now I sound like an anti-vaxxer, but I do trust doctors.
[0:17:56 – 0:17:59] Adam: I’m not out here pretending I’m smarter than a doctor.
[0:17:59 – 0:18:04] Adam: Your molar just suffered a temporary lapse of reason.
[0:18:04 – 0:18:04] Adam: That’s all.
[0:18:04 – 0:18:05] Erik: Okay.
[0:18:05 – 0:18:07] Adam: Sorry for questioning dentists.
[0:18:07 – 0:18:08] Adam: I trust you dentists.
[0:18:08 – 0:18:14] Erik: So, yeah, if there are any dentists out there that maybe have a tumble home pro bono scenario that we could maybe work out.
[0:18:15 – 0:18:16] Adam: In lieu of a…
[0:18:16 – 0:18:18] Adam: In lieu of a sponsorship.
[0:18:18 – 0:18:19] Adam: In lieu of a Patreon.
[0:18:19 – 0:18:22] Adam: Yeah, Eric needs a molar.
[0:18:23 – 0:18:28] Adam: What’s the healthcare system these days where you set up an auction online?
[0:18:28 – 0:18:29] Adam: GoFundMe?
[0:18:29 – 0:18:29] Adam: Yeah.
[0:18:30 – 0:18:34] Adam: Let’s get on Medicare GoFundMe and get Eric a new molar.
[0:18:34 – 0:18:34] Adam: Yeah.
[0:18:35 – 0:18:36] Adam: Look at him.
[0:18:36 – 0:18:36] Erik: The most…
[0:18:37 – 0:18:38] Erik: This guy needs one.
[0:18:38 – 0:18:41] Erik: We’ll post pictures of me sad with like a missing chunk of a tooth.
[0:18:41 – 0:18:41] Erik: You need…
[0:18:42 – 0:18:47] Adam: Between you and me, listeners, he really needs this one.
[0:18:47 – 0:18:48] Erik: He needs a win.
[0:18:48 – 0:18:49] Erik: Well, thank you, Michael.
[0:18:49 – 0:18:54] Erik: We’re definitely going to put down all these cream ales tonight because we’ve got a lot to talk about.
[0:18:54 – 0:18:54] Erik: No doubt.
[0:18:54 – 0:18:56] Erik: I don’t have to work tomorrow.
[0:18:56 – 0:18:58] Erik: I definitely don’t.
[0:18:58 – 0:19:00] Adam: We’re both off tomorrow.
[0:19:00 – 0:19:00] Adam: Both off.
[0:19:00 – 0:19:02] Adam: It’s our Friday.
[0:19:02 – 0:19:02] Erik: Yes.
[0:19:04 – 0:19:05] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:19:05 – 0:19:08] Adam: What are you giving this Pleasant Street cream ale?
[0:19:08 – 0:19:10] Adam: It’s a little too pleasant, I would say.
[0:19:11 – 0:19:12] Erik: Great beer.
[0:19:12 – 0:19:15] Erik: Brings people together to meet in the middle.
[0:19:15 – 0:19:16] Erik: Well, that’s hopeful.
[0:19:16 – 0:19:20] Adam: This is the official beer of paper boys on bicycles.
[0:19:21 – 0:19:21] Erik: Oh, is it?
[0:19:21 – 0:19:22] Adam: It doesn’t seem legal.
[0:19:22 – 0:19:22] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:19:23 – 0:19:23] Erik: Look at that.
[0:19:24 – 0:19:26] Erik: That is just an amazing American scene there.
[0:19:26 – 0:19:31] Adam: In Iowa, paper boys are, and Wisconsin, I would say, paper boys are allowed to drink.
[0:19:32 – 0:19:34] Adam: That’s a rock fact.
[0:19:34 – 0:19:36] Erik: Well, you can drink these 4% cream ales.
[0:19:36 – 0:19:39] Adam: That’s what I did when I had a paper route back in the day.
[0:19:39 – 0:19:42] Erik: American grains brewed with a trace of traditional hops.
[0:19:42 – 0:19:44] Erik: Smooth with a touch of sweetness.
[0:19:45 – 0:19:52] Erik: Brewed for a simpler time when the American dream fit inside a white picket fence and paper boys rode their bikes.
[0:19:53 – 0:20:00] Adam: Yeah, back in the day, they’d drop off the stack of papers with a six-pack of these for me.
[0:20:01 – 0:20:04] Adam: Back when I was 11, I’d get on my either rollerblades or bike.
[0:20:04 – 0:20:05] Adam: You can drink.
[0:20:05 – 0:20:06] Adam: It’s the state law.
[0:20:06 – 0:20:07] Adam: That’s a rock fact.
[0:20:07 – 0:20:11] Adam: That brings us to today’s Ron Char Outdoor Rock Fact of the Day.
[0:20:12 – 0:20:14] Adam: For August 14, 2021…
[0:20:17 – 0:20:19] Adam: Wild rice is ripening, Eric.
[0:20:19 – 0:20:20] Adam: Is it?
[0:20:20 – 0:20:23] Adam: Sunset is at 8.20 p.m. We just passed that.
[0:20:23 – 0:20:26] Adam: This is officially tumble home after dark.
[0:20:28 – 0:20:31] Adam: Oh, I miss doing that.
[0:20:31 – 0:20:32] Adam: That felt good.
[0:20:33 – 0:20:35] Adam: That felt a little too good.
[0:20:36 – 0:20:44] Adam: I’m going to give that Pleasant Street and the Ron Chera calendar both five out of five mmms.
[0:20:45 – 0:20:51] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know if I necessarily gave mine an unofficial grade, but I’ll say, yeah, I’m going to go ahead and give it five out of five.
[0:20:53 – 0:20:54] Erik: Newspapers?
[0:20:54 – 0:20:55] Erik: Right in the mailbox.
[0:20:56 – 0:20:57] Erik: Remember the video game, Sega?
[0:20:57 – 0:20:58] Erik: Oh, that was so fun.
[0:20:58 – 0:20:59] Erik: You nail the mailbox?
[0:20:59 – 0:20:59] Erik: Yes.
[0:20:59 – 0:21:00] Erik: Right in the mailbox.
[0:21:00 – 0:21:01] Erik: That one, like…
[0:21:03 – 0:21:09] Erik: Everybody’s, I mean, who could forget the paper days of yore when you were youth?
[0:21:09 – 0:21:12] Erik: You’d run that street, maybe get chased by a dog.
[0:21:12 – 0:21:15] Erik: Some random fighting bullies would be out there that you had to avoid.
[0:21:15 – 0:21:17] Adam: Are you talking about real paper routes or the game at this point?
[0:21:18 – 0:21:18] Adam: Yeah, no.
[0:21:18 – 0:21:18] Adam: Both.
[0:21:19 – 0:21:19] Adam: The game.
[0:21:19 – 0:21:20] Adam: I mean, it was true to life.
[0:21:20 – 0:21:28] Erik: And then I remember every time at the end of my paper route, it would end with a crazy series of jumps and loops and an obstacle course.
[0:21:28 – 0:21:28] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:28 – 0:21:31] Adam: I definitely had a ramp at the end of my real paper route.
[0:21:31 – 0:21:31] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:31 – 0:21:32] Erik: The music would change.
[0:21:32 – 0:21:33] Erik: Things would get intense.
[0:21:33 – 0:21:35] Erik: And then there was a stand of people applauding me.
[0:21:36 – 0:21:50] Adam: of course that’s how it was literally at the end of my paper route and this is true there was like a like a dirt mound at the end of this dead end road it was like more of a cul-de-sac and it was some pretty bougie like duplexes like
[0:21:51 – 0:21:53] Adam: My route was all duplexes of retired people.
[0:21:54 – 0:21:55] Adam: It was mint.
[0:21:55 – 0:21:58] Adam: That thing just rolling in money.
[0:21:59 – 0:22:03] Adam: But literally at the end of the last little cul-de-sac, there was like a dirt mound slash ramp.
[0:22:03 – 0:22:07] Adam: You can do a ramp and land at the covered wagon diner.
[0:22:07 – 0:22:08] Adam: Wow.
[0:22:09 – 0:22:11] Adam: On Sundays, I would treat myself to a big pancake.
[0:22:12 – 0:22:13] Adam: A big pancake.
[0:22:13 – 0:22:15] Adam: A big pancake with the strawberries and cream, Eric.
[0:22:16 – 0:22:16] Erik: Wow.
[0:22:16 – 0:22:18] Erik: I remember in high school, I had the paper route.
[0:22:18 – 0:22:20] Erik: It was a proper paper route, though.
[0:22:20 – 0:22:23] Erik: I actually had to deliver papers with a vehicle.
[0:22:23 – 0:22:24] Adam: Oh, so you were older.
[0:22:24 – 0:22:25] Adam: You’re an old paper boy.
[0:22:25 – 0:22:28] Adam: You were kind of a paper man at that point.
[0:22:28 – 0:22:28] Adam: I was a paper man.
[0:22:29 – 0:22:35] Erik: I was a paper man going into the old, like, the big plant where the papers would come out.
[0:22:35 – 0:22:35] Erik: Yeah, yeah.
[0:22:35 – 0:22:37] Erik: And you had to actually put them together.
[0:22:37 – 0:22:38] Erik: That’s the thing they don’t tell you about the newspapers.
[0:22:38 – 0:22:39] Erik: They come in sections.
[0:22:39 – 0:22:40] Erik: Yeah.
[0:22:40 – 0:22:44] Erik: And as an independent contractor, it was up to me to put them into individual sleeves.
[0:22:45 – 0:22:50] Erik: Or if I wanted to be dicey with the weather, I could cheap out and just go rubber bands.
[0:22:51 – 0:22:56] Adam: Yeah, I had both the rubber bands and the sleeves because some houses weren’t set up for either or.
[0:22:56 – 0:22:59] Adam: Some houses had some nice dry drop locations.
[0:22:59 – 0:23:01] Adam: Some houses, they were literally just like thrown on the porch.
[0:23:02 – 0:23:04] Adam: If it was even a chance rain, you better sleeve.
[0:23:04 – 0:23:05] Erik: You better sleeve?
[0:23:05 – 0:23:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:23:06 – 0:23:11] Erik: But then the one thing I do remember is it was this route that I was randomly given.
[0:23:12 – 0:23:15] Erik: And unbeknownst to me, I did it over the course of the summer.
[0:23:16 – 0:23:29] Erik: And everybody that worked there was like they were either like retired army people or like single moms, like just desperately trying to get more like money in the bank account, like older people.
[0:23:30 – 0:23:30] Erik: Yeah.
[0:23:30 – 0:23:35] Erik: And they all were like, I cannot believe that you got this old – this route.
[0:23:35 – 0:23:45] Erik: And it was the route in like downtown White Bear Lake where part of my route was out on Manitou Island, which is like this island that has million-plus dollar homes.
[0:23:45 – 0:23:50] Erik: And they were like, if you can just hang on until Christmas, you will make your year’s worth –
[0:23:51 – 0:23:52] Erik: just on tips.
[0:23:52 – 0:23:54] Adam: I forgot about the Christmas cards.
[0:23:54 – 0:24:00] Erik: And I was like, in high school, going into college, I was like, are you suggesting that I forego college just for the Christmas tips?
[0:24:00 – 0:24:00] Adam: Yeah.
[0:24:02 – 0:24:03] Adam: I think it’s solid advice.
[0:24:03 – 0:24:08] Adam: I’ve been telling people to quit college for pretty much the second half of my life at this point.
[0:24:08 – 0:24:14] Adam: So I think it’s always smart to quit college and pursue your dreams and getting that sweet, sweet cash.
[0:24:14 – 0:24:16] Erik: Pursue your dreams of getting Christmas tips as a newspaper man?
[0:24:16 – 0:24:19] Adam: You’re not getting any cash by staying in college, let me tell you that.
[0:24:19 – 0:24:19] Adam: No.
[0:24:19 – 0:24:20] Adam: That is a rock fact.
[0:24:21 – 0:24:43] Adam: that is a rock fact yeah cash is my favorite form of poetry as you know i always forget that we both had paper outs legit i was like i’m not even kidding i was named like paper boy of the year or paper boy of the month or something oh you’re not of the year they would always have like paper boy and you’d get in the paper and then you got a special edition like
[0:24:43 – 0:25:12] Adam: vinyl bag like not just the cheap cloth one sure this thing had like it was all all like high visibility you know what do you call it reflective tape okay like you could yeah I mean it was next level stuff and you could fit you could fit like six or seven beers in that thing wow which I said they drop off daily with the papers I mean it was a pretty sweet gig go run the paper out and go on down to the pier and catch a couple schmelt
[0:25:14 – 0:25:37] Adam: you know just a dream scenario for a boy growing up in manitowoc wisconsin i mean it sounds like a dream scenario i turned out pretty good i am i’m a hard worker so far so are you so good so i would say we’re 100 on paper boys and paper men being turning out to be hard workers later in life yeah so i would if you have a child i would encourage them do they still have newspapers and routes uh
[0:25:38 – 0:26:02] Adam: i don’t know i mean what’s the equivalent now if they don’t have paper roads just a postal worker maybe i don’t know just get yourself a rural at age 11 get yourself a rural mail road yes put in the bid for delivering the north shore journal i mean you just don’t want to end up like being out there detasseling corn for like five dollars a day and like a warm can of milk or something is your payment that’s not good compensation yeah not in this market
[0:26:02 – 0:26:08] Erik: No, I think the market, it’s a worker’s market, but I’m weighing my options.
[0:26:08 – 0:26:09] Erik: I’m not going to delve back in.
[0:26:10 – 0:26:11] Adam: Yeah, you’re a free agent.
[0:26:11 – 0:26:12] Adam: I’d hold out for a while.
[0:26:13 – 0:26:17] Adam: Something right will come your way or you’ll make your own way.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:21] Erik: Well, it’s one of those things where if you do delve in too quickly, then all of a sudden it’s like three years later, it’s like, what?
[0:26:22 – 0:26:25] Erik: I’m like a manager at a fill in the blank?
[0:26:25 – 0:26:25] Adam: Yeah.
[0:26:25 – 0:26:26] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:26:26 – 0:26:30] Adam: You keep showing up no matter where you go, they’re going to put you in charge pretty quick up here.
[0:26:30 – 0:26:30] Erik: Yeah.
[0:26:31 – 0:26:33] Adam: So I once again would also reiterate that, Nick.
[0:26:34 – 0:26:58] Adam: if anybody out there is listening and is uh sick of where you’re currently living like you could literally move up here and do anything but it you know as we’ve said in the episode uh i don’t have the number on top of my head i’m moving up north but you know that’s not the hard part the hard part is finding a place to live or even a good shed to bed down in this one’s looking pretty good this one’s a nice amount of straw on the ground for you and this one’s not available
[0:26:59 – 0:27:03] Erik: Yeah, this one, this shed, she’s tumble-taken.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:03] Erik: Tumble-taken.
[0:27:04 – 0:27:04] Adam: That’s right.
[0:27:04 – 0:27:06] Erik: What do you got in your notes there?
[0:27:07 – 0:27:18] Adam: First up on the notes, just wanted to highlight that with Eric no longer in residence up at Clearwater, if you’ve listened to Event Horizon,
[0:27:20 – 0:27:22] Adam: Do not drop off art supplies at Clearwater.
[0:27:22 – 0:27:25] Adam: Can we just bleep out the name of the lodge from now on?
[0:27:25 – 0:27:28] Adam: No, it’s still Clearwater Historic Lodge.
[0:27:28 – 0:27:29] Adam: It’s just being run by imposters.
[0:27:29 – 0:27:31] Adam: So don’t drop off your art supplies there.
[0:27:32 – 0:27:33] Adam: Don’t even think about it.
[0:27:34 – 0:27:36] Adam: They will probably just dump them in the lake somewhere.
[0:27:37 – 0:27:38] Erik: They’d probably just dump them down the drain.
[0:27:39 – 0:27:39] Adam: They would.
[0:27:39 – 0:27:42] Adam: So don’t drop off any art supplies there.
[0:27:42 – 0:27:46] Adam: You can definitely drop them off at Cook County Whole Foods Co-op.
[0:27:46 – 0:27:50] Adam: I think it’s the cat’s out of the bag on I work at the co-op at this point.
[0:27:50 – 0:27:52] Adam: I am the deli manager.
[0:27:52 – 0:27:53] Adam: You can drop them off the deli.
[0:27:54 – 0:27:57] Adam: If I’m not there, I got good workers.
[0:27:57 – 0:28:00] Adam: The workers I still have left are all real good.
[0:28:00 – 0:28:01] Adam: Anybody out there listening?
[0:28:02 – 0:28:03] Adam: Workers, are you listening?
[0:28:03 – 0:28:04] Adam: I love you.
[0:28:04 – 0:28:05] Adam: Get back to work.
[0:28:05 – 0:28:06] Adam: Get back to work.
[0:28:06 – 0:28:14] Adam: Make another 30 to 40 sandwiches immediately, but make sure these beers get put in the walk-in, please, on the bottom shelf.
[0:28:15 – 0:28:17] Adam: Don’t put them by the meat.
[0:28:17 – 0:28:21] Erik: Or you can always try sending an email, tumblehomecast at gmail.com.
[0:28:21 – 0:28:26] Erik: I have made a successful in-the-field beer transition.
[0:28:26 – 0:28:34] Erik: I actually sat down for a couple of beers with Tumble Homie and his family before they were going out on a trip.
[0:28:34 – 0:28:35] Erik: Paul, hey, hope your trip went well.
[0:28:36 – 0:28:38] Erik: It was nice to sit down with you at Voyager.
[0:28:38 – 0:28:40] Erik: I’m totally up for that as well.
[0:28:41 – 0:28:43] Erik: But yeah, that happened today.
[0:28:43 – 0:28:44] Erik: I was like, oh, shoot.
[0:28:45 – 0:28:46] Erik: I can’t make it into town by that time.
[0:28:46 – 0:28:47] Erik: So…
[0:28:47 – 0:28:49] Erik: Just stop in at the co-op.
[0:28:49 – 0:28:53] Adam: It’s seriously been shocking how many people have shown up this week all of a sudden.
[0:28:53 – 0:28:55] Adam: It’s weird how that happens.
[0:28:56 – 0:29:05] Adam: But it is always really fun because I am very jealous, but everybody that comes in in this scenario is either going out on a trip or coming back from a trip, at least so far.
[0:29:06 – 0:29:13] Adam: And so you get to hear all about their trip, where they’re going, kind of live vicariously through their trip.
[0:29:14 – 0:29:16] Adam: I am not going on any trips anytime soon.
[0:29:17 – 0:29:17] SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
[0:29:17 – 0:29:21] Adam: But it’s fun to talk with anybody who listens to the show.
[0:29:21 – 0:29:22] Adam: And actually, Eric, that reminds me.
[0:29:22 – 0:29:28] Adam: I think we’ve got to get a new sticker or put them – I need more stickers because I’ve – Oh, I can get you some stickers.
[0:29:28 – 0:29:37] Adam: I have a tiny little shopping cart on my desk, and it’s full of Tumulam stickers, but I’m running low, and I can’t find – I swear I had more in the house, but I can’t find them.
[0:29:37 – 0:29:41] Adam: So I’ve been trying to give out stickers to everybody that stops by.
[0:29:42 – 0:29:49] Adam: I really appreciate anybody listening to the show who would even consider bringing art supplies up to the little town of Grand Marais.
[0:29:50 – 0:29:59] Adam: But I’m always happy to take a five-minute break from work to talk about the Boundary Waters and meet anybody who’s…
[0:29:59 – 0:30:00] Adam: There you go.
[0:30:00 – 0:30:01] Erik: Oh, he’s got the big ones.
[0:30:01 – 0:30:02] Erik: It’s a whole stack.
[0:30:02 – 0:30:03] Adam: Wow, I haven’t given out the little stickers.
[0:30:03 – 0:30:05] Adam: Anyways…
[0:30:06 – 0:30:07] Adam: Yeah, it’s been pretty fun.
[0:30:08 – 0:30:09] Adam: I’m not even kidding.
[0:30:10 – 0:30:13] Adam: I’m definitely hiring a weekend baker right now, and I don’t care.
[0:30:13 – 0:30:13] Adam: I’m going to shill.
[0:30:14 – 0:30:16] Adam: I really desperately need a weekend baker.
[0:30:16 – 0:30:25] Adam: I hired a weekend baker, and an employee of the month showed up, and I’m really up front.
[0:30:25 – 0:30:33] Adam: The job requires a lot of time on your feet, and this employee requested a break within the first 45 minutes, and I was like, oh, this is not a good sign.
[0:30:34 – 0:30:37] Adam: So needless to say, I still am looking for a weekend baker.
[0:30:38 – 0:30:39] Adam: Additional hours are possible.
[0:30:40 – 0:30:42] Adam: Pay pretty good money.
[0:30:42 – 0:30:47] Adam: I will pay you more if in the application you use the hashtag starve your corporate masters.
[0:30:47 – 0:30:48] Adam: Come work for our co-op.
[0:30:48 – 0:30:49] Adam: Work for yourself.
[0:30:50 – 0:30:54] Adam: You don’t want to work for money-grubbing capitalists any longer.
[0:30:54 – 0:30:57] Adam: That’s the end of my promo and plug.
[0:30:57 – 0:30:58] Adam: Please help me.
[0:31:00 – 0:31:04] Adam: I need somebody who can make a good scone for the love of God.
[0:31:05 – 0:31:06] Adam: It’s a lot of fun.
[0:31:06 – 0:31:07] Adam: It’s a great place to work.
[0:31:08 – 0:31:12] Adam: You’re going to get to meet other tumble homies as they bring beer by on the daily.
[0:31:13 – 0:31:14] Adam: And we have a lot of fun.
[0:31:15 – 0:31:17] Adam: And we’re making money hand over fist.
[0:31:17 – 0:31:18] Adam: There is a profit share.
[0:31:19 – 0:31:19] Adam: Yes.
[0:31:19 – 0:31:20] Adam: You work for yourself.
[0:31:20 – 0:31:21] Adam: We’re trying.
[0:31:21 – 0:31:22] Adam: We’re desperate.
[0:31:22 – 0:31:23] Erik: Please.
[0:31:23 – 0:31:23] Adam: We’re desperate.
[0:31:24 – 0:31:25] Adam: Get that money.
[0:31:25 – 0:31:27] Adam: Get that sandwich money and scone money.
[0:31:27 – 0:31:27] Adam: It’s great.
[0:31:28 – 0:31:30] Adam: So that’s the end of that bullet point, I believe, Eric.
[0:31:31 – 0:31:48] Erik: Well, and speaking of money-grubbing capitalists, and I don’t want this to necessarily become a theme, but I did hear that over the course of my time and tenure at Clearwater, it was always an open and accessible environment to all.
[0:31:49 – 0:31:52] Erik: Specifically, the YMCA Camp Mnogent.
[0:31:53 – 0:32:15] Erik: on west bearskin and they do trips over the course of a summer they’re allowed to use the waterfront i don’t need to go through the details on how they run their trips but essentially what ends up happening there are neighbors they end up showing up at our waterfront almost invariably one of the guides or leaders will come up and say is it okay if we pass through your waterfront we’re going to portage down clearwater road a mile down to west bearskin
[0:32:15 – 0:32:19] Erik: I’ve heard that that is no longer an option for Minojin.
[0:32:20 – 0:32:23] Erik: That waterfront option has been denied.
[0:32:24 – 0:32:26] Adam: Well, how much money do they want to let Minojin go through?
[0:32:26 – 0:32:30] Adam: That’s the real question because I’m sure there’s a price.
[0:32:30 – 0:32:33] Erik: So that means they have to go back to the public access.
[0:32:33 – 0:32:41] Erik: And if you’ve never been between Clearwater Lodge and the public access, there is like a 500-foot hill in between.
[0:32:41 – 0:32:42] Adam: It’s, I think, even worse than that.
[0:32:43 – 0:32:44] Adam: They got 18% grade in there, too.
[0:32:44 – 0:32:45] Erik: It’s kind of wild.
[0:32:46 – 0:32:50] Erik: And so that mile-long portage has now turned into a two-mile portage plus the mile paddleback.
[0:32:51 – 0:32:52] Adam: I’m sure that’s great for public relations.
[0:32:53 – 0:32:55] Erik: Yeah, so just throwing that out there.
[0:32:56 – 0:33:00] Adam: Are there any friendly cabin owners nearby that can just let them go through there?
[0:33:00 – 0:33:01] Adam: Jesus, Lord.
[0:33:01 – 0:33:02] Adam: Well, I mean, yes.
[0:33:02 – 0:33:03] Adam: Praise Jesus.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:14] Erik: I’m sure that there are, but I don’t know if they’re necessarily around or aware enough to be quick-grabbing monogen paddlers as they’re being denied access to basically…
[0:33:14 – 0:33:20] Adam: What has been really no issue ever, but apparently it is now.
[0:33:20 – 0:33:24] Erik: So with that, we’ll… Oh, that’s low.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:26] Adam: Yeah, we’ll move past that.
[0:33:26 – 0:33:28] Erik: That’s low.
[0:33:28 – 0:33:30] Erik: Speaking of moving past, let’s get another one of these.
[0:33:30 – 0:33:31] Erik: I’m ready.
[0:33:31 – 0:33:32] Adam: I’m ready for a second.
[0:33:32 – 0:33:37] Adam: I was pretty thirsty as advertised, and I’m going to do better on this poppo.
[0:33:38 – 0:33:41] Adam: Packers are currently playing preseason game number one.
[0:33:42 – 0:33:43] Adam: Jordan Love’s debut.
[0:33:43 – 0:33:44] Adam: Football.
[0:33:44 – 0:33:45] Adam: Not good.
[0:33:46 – 0:33:46] Adam: We’ll see.
[0:33:47 – 0:33:51] Adam: I do have the radio out here, but I’m not subjecting Eric or myself to preseason football.
[0:33:52 – 0:33:53] Adam: No thanks.
[0:33:57 – 0:33:57] Erik: But
[0:33:57 – 0:33:59] Adam: I am excited to see how Jordan Love does.
[0:34:00 – 0:34:01] Adam: Glad to have the champ back.
[0:34:02 – 0:34:09] Adam: QB1 is going to shred this year, but it’s probably his last dance, it looks like, so got to enjoy the ride while it lasts.
[0:34:10 – 0:34:10] Adam: You know what I mean?
[0:34:11 – 0:34:12] Adam: Yeah.
[0:34:16 – 0:34:17] Adam: Water levels.
[0:34:17 – 0:34:18] Adam: Oh, my.
[0:34:18 – 0:34:20] Adam: How are they looking?
[0:34:20 – 0:34:20] Adam: You’ve been around.
[0:34:21 – 0:34:22] Erik: I’ve been around, yeah.
[0:34:22 – 0:34:26] Adam: I’ve been hearing some disturbing things, and I found some disturbing things this morning.
[0:34:27 – 0:34:28] Erik: You specifically did this morning.
[0:34:28 – 0:34:29] Adam: Yes.
[0:34:29 – 0:34:31] Adam: Wow.
[0:34:31 – 0:34:33] Adam: For one, I was taking Arrow for a walk.
[0:34:33 – 0:34:34] Adam: Hey, Arrow.
[0:34:34 – 0:34:36] Adam: Arrow is here with us in the tumble shed, by the way.
[0:34:37 – 0:34:39] Adam: Being pretty good, honestly.
[0:34:39 – 0:34:41] Erik: I blame her for the three mosquitoes that we had to deal with.
[0:34:41 – 0:34:42] Adam: Probably her fault.
[0:34:43 – 0:35:05] Adam: uh pretty chilly this morning for morning walk and it got me thinking like it might be time to start bike joring again uh gotta get the harness out and everything but uh we did the full sometimes i got i don’t have time and i just do like the short walk but then today we had time for full walks we went all the way down to the river and checked out the beaver dam i had not been down there a while as you can see i uh
[0:35:07 – 0:35:34] Adam: found a bait trap down there retrieved that but the beaver dam has either got a hole in it or water levels I think it’s sound water levels appear to be in the beaver pond four to five feet low right now so I think it’s a combo of breach of dam and also just extreme drought
[0:35:35 – 0:35:38] Adam: And, yeah, water levels are, like, obscenely low.
[0:35:38 – 0:35:44] Adam: Like, if that continues, I won’t be able to, like, ski across there in the winter because there’s going to be, like, a little, like, a Grand Canyon.
[0:35:44 – 0:35:45] Adam: A ravine.
[0:35:45 – 0:35:47] Adam: Yeah, too big of a dip in there to ski through.
[0:35:47 – 0:35:47] Adam: Yeah.
[0:35:47 – 0:35:49] Erik: I don’t know what I’m going to do.
[0:35:50 – 0:36:01] Erik: We were camped at Cascade River, the little free campground there.
[0:36:01 – 0:36:01] Erik: Yeah.
[0:36:02 – 0:36:02] Erik: On Valley Creek.
[0:36:03 – 0:36:06] Adam: That’s a beauty of a, a beauty of a free campsite.
[0:36:06 – 0:36:08] Adam: Was there like four or five sites in there?
[0:36:08 – 0:36:09] Erik: How is that free?
[0:36:09 – 0:36:10] Erik: It’s amazing.
[0:36:10 – 0:36:10] Adam: What?
[0:36:10 – 0:36:11] Adam: For like 16 days.
[0:36:12 – 0:36:13] Erik: You can see that it’s like limit 14 days.
[0:36:13 – 0:36:15] Erik: It’s like, well, I mean, who’s going to do that?
[0:36:15 – 0:36:19] Adam: There’s a couple of those around those sneaky forest service campsites are a lot of fun.
[0:36:19 – 0:36:25] Erik: Yeah, but I couldn’t, I literally couldn’t tell that there was a river in any direction.
[0:36:25 – 0:36:25] Erik: Yeah.
[0:36:25 – 0:36:27] SPEAKER_00: It was dead quiet out there.
[0:36:27 – 0:36:27] Erik: I heard.
[0:36:27 – 0:36:31] Erik: And today we walked the little section of the Superior Hiking Trail that’s near my house.
[0:36:31 – 0:36:31] Erik: Yeah.
[0:36:32 – 0:36:37] Erik: And all of the places that are typically like marked on Superior Hiking Trail maps is like you can fill up your water bottle.
[0:36:37 – 0:36:39] Erik: We’re just bone dry.
[0:36:39 – 0:36:40] Erik: Just dust.
[0:36:41 – 0:36:45] Adam: They’re replacing the bridge on the Superior Hiking Trail on Kimball Creek right now.
[0:36:46 – 0:36:50] Adam: So there’s been a huge volunteer crew down there, which we just hiked that section.
[0:36:50 – 0:36:56] Adam: And I posted a picture of me and Arrow going across that bridge, which it didn’t appear to be that rickety.
[0:36:56 – 0:37:00] Adam: But I don’t know if it suffered a damage or what happened because they’re replacing it.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:04] Adam: But yeah, I bet even there, that was raging river in the spring.
[0:37:04 – 0:37:06] Adam: But I bet even that’s dry, dry.
[0:37:06 – 0:37:22] Erik: Well, I was going to say, like, anything lower or smaller in size than, like, the Cadence is basically just not… Yeah, and I was told that on the Brule, if you go up to the Devil’s Kettle, that normally you have to, like, hike the trail on the side of the river.
[0:37:22 – 0:37:27] Adam: Apparently, the river’s so dry, you can literally just walk straight up the middle of the river right now, all the way to the Devil’s Kettle.
[0:37:27 – 0:37:27] Erik: Yeah.
[0:37:28 – 0:37:29] Adam: What the heck?
[0:37:30 – 0:37:31] Adam: So, yeah, I mean…
[0:37:32 – 0:37:50] Adam: we have gotten a little bit of rain lately but like the watersheds haven’t recovered at all it’s just all going like straight soak so nothing’s going into the you know everything’s going straight down it’s not ever making it to the streams right now so yeah uh fire danger is still extreme and uh
[0:37:53 – 0:37:54] Adam: Yeah, I mean, pray for rain.
[0:37:54 – 0:37:54] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:37:55 – 0:37:58] Erik: Yeah, well, the extended forecast looks like 80, sunny.
[0:37:59 – 0:37:59] Erik: Yeah.
[0:37:59 – 0:38:05] Erik: 80, sunny, which is like great as somebody who’s unemployed living out of the back of their vehicle.
[0:38:06 – 0:38:10] Erik: But I definitely know that it is not great for the woods.
[0:38:11 – 0:38:14] Erik: And this is the time of year when things do get dry.
[0:38:14 – 0:38:18] Erik: So it’s not to be expected that there really isn’t any hope in sight.
[0:38:19 – 0:38:23] Erik: It’s the fact that our spring, like we didn’t have any spring rains.
[0:38:24 – 0:38:26] Erik: So it’s going to have to be, I think it’s going to be a while.
[0:38:26 – 0:38:51] Erik: before anything changes and i up to this point just a little a little spoiler for the fire band chat it really hadn’t bothered me to think about like a banjo artist trip without being able to have a fire but now that i’m like out yeah like camping it still doesn’t bother me but the prospect of fall and shorter day camping where there’s not that
[0:38:51 – 0:39:06] Erik: hour yeah two hour kind of wind down around the campfire so what we’re just sitting out here in the dark then huh you have to go with glow sticks yeah basically you know have a little mini woods rave or something yeah
[0:39:08 – 0:39:12] Adam: I do have a fire update from our friends, our good friends at the Forest Service.
[0:39:12 – 0:39:13] Adam: Are you interested?
[0:39:14 – 0:39:21] Adam: This was on their Facebook post from yesterday, which was yesterday, though, if that makes any sense.
[0:39:22 – 0:39:27] Adam: Which, if you’re listening to this on Sunday, was yesterday, yesterday, yesterday.
[0:39:27 – 0:39:29] Adam: Anyways, it’s pretty recent.
[0:39:29 – 0:39:32] Adam: And I was interested because I had just been kind of avoiding it.
[0:39:33 – 0:39:38] Adam: Not because I’m not interested, but because I just don’t want to know what’s going on.
[0:39:39 – 0:39:42] Adam: I mean, it was so windy yesterday.
[0:39:42 – 0:39:45] Adam: I was certain something terrible was going to happen.
[0:39:45 – 0:39:51] Adam: I’ve not heard anything terrible, but you want the fire update while we’re talking how dry and dusty it’s been?
[0:39:51 – 0:39:51] Erik: Sure.
[0:39:51 – 0:39:53] Erik: It’s so weird I’m getting the fire update from you.
[0:39:53 – 0:39:58] Erik: These are things I used to get on a daily basis, and I’m a week removed, so I have no idea.
[0:39:58 – 0:40:01] Adam: Yeah, this is the most updated one I could find.
[0:40:01 – 0:40:01] Adam: Are you ready?
[0:40:02 – 0:40:02] Erik: Yeah, hit me.
[0:40:03 – 0:40:12] Adam: Near critical fire weather conditions are expected today for portions of Minnesota due to low humidity and gusty northwest winds.
[0:40:14 – 0:40:17] Adam: I’m going to add in some stuff that the Forest Service should have put in.
[0:40:18 – 0:40:20] Erik: Yeah, I mean, it would make for a much more enjoyable read.
[0:40:20 – 0:40:21] Adam: That’s the end.
[0:40:21 – 0:40:22] Adam: No, I’m just kidding.
[0:40:22 – 0:40:27] Adam: A high-pressure system will develop over the area through the weekend, keeping skies mostly clear.
[0:40:27 – 0:40:34] Adam: The moisture deficit will continue to worsen as significant rainfall is not predicted in northern Minnesota.
[0:40:35 – 0:40:40] Adam: The next chance for precipitation is predicted for Tuesday evening into Wednesday.
[0:40:41 – 0:40:42] Adam: Here’s our fire updates.
[0:40:42 – 0:40:43] Adam: How many fires do you think are going right now?
[0:40:44 – 0:40:45] Erik: On the American side?
[0:40:46 – 0:40:51] Adam: I don’t know if I actually have the whole number, but I have updates for each of them.
[0:40:51 – 0:40:58] Erik: I know that they did put the Delta fire out finally, but I did hear about a few other ones that were kind of stupidly started.
[0:40:58 – 0:40:59] Adam: Yeah, there’s a bunch.
[0:40:59 – 0:40:59] Adam: All right.
[0:41:00 – 0:41:01] Adam: They’re in alphabetical order.
[0:41:01 – 0:41:02] Adam: No, they’re not.
[0:41:03 – 0:41:23] Erik: bungee fire have you already familiar with the bungee fire yeah could you tell me where bungee is on this map uh i would say if i were a betting man the only part of that that i would be were that i would be confident in betting would be that it’s in the western half it sure is i don’t know i couldn’t find it on this map i’ll tell you what
[0:41:24 – 0:41:42] Adam: bungee fire the bungee fire was first detected on july 30th and is located within the current closure area there you go 3.5 acre fire has control line around it and very minimal fire activity has been observed in the last few days the fire is being patrolled and monitored okay that one doesn’t sound too bad
[0:41:43 – 0:41:44] Adam: Not too shabby, Bungie.
[0:41:45 – 0:41:46] Adam: Not too shabby.
[0:41:46 – 0:41:50] Adam: It’s up there somewhere by… Somewhere up there in the sundial, probably.
[0:41:50 – 0:41:51] Erik: Maybe even be a PMA.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:52] Adam: Maybe.
[0:41:53 – 0:41:53] Adam: What?
[0:41:54 – 0:41:55] Adam: Maybe.
[0:41:55 – 0:41:56] Adam: Maybe.
[0:41:56 – 0:41:57] Adam: Oh, it’s a knife.
[0:41:58 – 0:41:58] Adam: We are the Bungie.
[0:41:59 – 0:42:03] Adam: Next up on the fire chat, fire updates.
[0:42:04 – 0:42:05] Adam: Now we’re just a podcast.
[0:42:05 – 0:42:08] Adam: We read out the new fire update data every week.
[0:42:09 – 0:42:10] Adam: There’s nothing else to talk about.
[0:42:11 – 0:42:13] Adam: Four Town Lake, that one we know.
[0:42:14 – 0:42:16] Adam: Four Town’s a reasonable lake.
[0:42:17 – 0:42:20] Adam: The Fort Town Lake fire was first detected July 25th.
[0:42:20 – 0:42:25] Adam: It is located within the boundary waters 12 miles north of Ely.
[0:42:26 – 0:42:31] Adam: The current size is 265 acres, continues to hold within the containment lines.
[0:42:32 – 0:42:35] Adam: Six firefighters are staffing the fire and continue to mop up.
[0:42:36 – 0:42:38] Adam: And secure containment lines, all right?
[0:42:38 – 0:42:39] Erik: Mopping up.
[0:42:39 – 0:42:41] Erik: Sounds like a lot of fun to be a mop-up guy.
[0:42:41 – 0:42:44] Adam: Yeah, we got the lines down, now we’re mopping them up.
[0:42:45 – 0:42:47] Erik: It just seems like you come home dirty every day.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:51] Erik: Dirty and hot.
[0:42:52 – 0:42:52] Erik: Probably.
[0:42:54 – 0:43:23] Adam: sundial south that is a pma for sure sundell where are you there she are sundial sundial south fire was detected july 21st you know it’s like a trend these are all like literally these are all like i guess they’re in the order of the uh the lit these are lit the discovery of litness detected on july 21st is a quarter acre in size very uh so barely a fire it’s like the size of this shed
[0:43:23 – 0:43:31] Adam: It is in the closure area, particularly inaccessible to fire crews due to the remote location and hazardous fuels.
[0:43:32 – 0:43:36] Adam: Fire activity remains minimal but will be continuously monitored by air.
[0:43:36 – 0:43:38] Adam: Yeah, that’s up there in a PMA.
[0:43:38 – 0:43:43] Adam: That’s a positive mental attitude zone up there in the sundial.
[0:43:44 – 0:43:46] Adam: We had a different name for them at one point, did we not?
[0:43:47 – 0:43:49] Adam: Like EMAs.
[0:43:50 – 0:43:50] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:43:50 – 0:43:54] Erik: I don’t remember what the other alternative acronym stood for.
[0:43:54 – 0:43:56] Adam: Next up, Moose Camp Fire.
[0:43:56 – 0:43:59] Adam: The Moose Camp Fire was detected August 4th.
[0:43:59 – 0:44:03] Adam: It is located approximately 16 miles north-northeast of Ely.
[0:44:04 – 0:44:09] Adam: It is a quarter acre, 100% contained, and is in patrol and monitor status.
[0:44:09 – 0:44:13] Adam: Patrol and monitor status.
[0:44:13 – 0:44:14] Erik: 100% contained?
[0:44:14 – 0:44:15] Adam: So what’s the point of even…
[0:44:15 – 0:44:18] Adam: This will be the last report of the Moose Camp Fire.
[0:44:18 – 0:44:18] Adam: All right.
[0:44:18 – 0:44:18] Adam: All right.
[0:44:19 – 0:44:20] Adam: There, we see you.
[0:44:20 – 0:44:21] Adam: Nina Creek Fire.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:23] Adam: Not the Nina Moose.
[0:44:24 – 0:44:25] Adam: This is the Nina Creek Fire.
[0:44:26 – 0:44:34] Adam: Nina Creek Fire was detected August 4th and is located 12 miles southeast of Ely, 2.7 acres, and 100% contained.
[0:44:34 – 0:44:36] Adam: You’re going to like this, Eric.
[0:44:36 – 0:44:38] Erik: Is this the last we’re going to hear about it?
[0:44:38 – 0:44:43] Adam: A hose line remains around the perimeter, and this will be the last report.
[0:44:45 – 0:44:47] Adam: The Nina Creek fire.
[0:44:47 – 0:44:51] Adam: You’re getting a lot of deep cuts here on Fire Talk tonight, Eric.
[0:44:51 – 0:44:53] Adam: I feel like some of these roles are being reversed.
[0:44:53 – 0:44:55] Adam: You’ve taken over control of all of the beers.
[0:44:56 – 0:44:59] Adam: You’re giving me all the facts from the Forest Service.
[0:44:59 – 0:45:02] Adam: Yeah, you need to become a little bit more unhinged, if you will.
[0:45:03 – 0:45:04] Erik: I need to become more unhinged?
[0:45:04 – 0:45:08] Adam: Grow your hair longer and become more unhinged, please, for the sake of the show.
[0:45:08 – 0:45:12] Erik: I trimmed my beard in a rearview mirror of a vehicle today.
[0:45:12 – 0:45:13] Erik: Outside, just loose.
[0:45:15 – 0:45:19] Adam: At least you’re not living in a PT cruiser or nothing, are you?
[0:45:19 – 0:45:20] Erik: No, no, not that.
[0:45:21 – 0:45:21] Erik: Not yet.
[0:45:21 – 0:45:22] Erik: It’s not that bad.
[0:45:22 – 0:45:25] Erik: I’ve got my snakebite kits and my shave kit.
[0:45:25 – 0:45:28] Adam: We do have the snakebite kit here in the new studio shed.
[0:45:29 – 0:45:30] Erik: I have mirrors at my disposal.
[0:45:30 – 0:45:31] Adam: Harold, knock it off.
[0:45:32 – 0:45:34] Adam: Not even.
[0:45:34 – 0:45:35] Erik: Not even.
[0:45:35 – 0:45:35] Adam: Not even.
[0:45:36 – 0:45:36] Adam: Don’t even think.
[0:45:38 – 0:45:38] Adam: She’s pacing.
[0:45:39 – 0:45:41] Adam: She doesn’t like all this fire talk.
[0:45:41 – 0:45:42] Adam: It’s making her nervous.
[0:45:42 – 0:45:43] Erik: She knows it’s dry out there.
[0:45:44 – 0:45:48] Adam: Next up on the show, the Olay fire.
[0:45:48 – 0:45:50] Adam: This is my favorite one.
[0:45:50 – 0:45:50] Adam: All right.
[0:45:51 – 0:45:53] Adam: Is it allowed to party horn a fire?
[0:45:54 – 0:45:56] Adam: Before we find out how bad it is, we might as well just…
[0:45:56 – 0:46:00] Erik: I mean, I guess, yeah, it would be a shame to… Olé fire.
[0:46:00 Р0:46:04] Erik: Ol̩, Ol̩, Ol̩, Ol̩.
[0:46:04 Р0:46:08] Erik: The Ol̩ fire stands to burn multiple structures and homes.
[0:46:09 – 0:46:09] Adam: No.
[0:46:09 – 0:46:10] Adam: Several dead.
[0:46:11 Р0:46:13] Adam: Oh, we should not have party horned the Ol̩ fire.
[0:46:14 – 0:46:14] Adam: Party horn rejected.
[0:46:15 – 0:46:16] Adam: Side tangent, Eric.
[0:46:16 – 0:46:19] Adam: I don’t think we’ve announced this on the show, but you’ve seen it.
[0:46:20 – 0:46:22] Adam: Gordy got a sombrero.
[0:46:22 – 0:46:23] Erik: Oh, yes.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:25] Erik: How have you not shared a picture of that glorious sombrero?
[0:46:25 – 0:46:27] Adam: I am saving it for a special occasion.
[0:46:27 – 0:46:28] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:46:28 – 0:46:29] Adam: Cinco de Mayo?
[0:46:30 – 0:46:31] Adam: We’re not going to wait that long.
[0:46:31 – 0:46:31] Adam: That’s insane.
[0:46:31 – 0:46:32] Erik: Halloween?
[0:46:32 – 0:46:33] Adam: Yeah, Halloween for sure.
[0:46:34 – 0:46:34] Adam: How dare you?
[0:46:34 – 0:46:36] Adam: Gordy’s sombrero came.
[0:46:36 – 0:46:39] Erik: Cultural appropriation alert.
[0:46:40 – 0:46:41] Erik: Gordy’s been canceled.
[0:46:41 – 0:46:42] UNKNOWN: I’ve been told it’s canceled.
[0:46:42 – 0:46:46] Adam: Highly inappropriate to give a fake duck a sombrero.
[0:46:48 – 0:46:49] Adam: I beg to differ.
[0:46:49 – 0:46:53] Adam: I think it’s cute and adorable and hilarious.
[0:46:53 – 0:46:59] Adam: So I did procure a tiny sombrero finally for Gordy and he’s wearing it.
[0:47:00 – 0:47:01] Erik: Yeah, I would agree.
[0:47:01 – 0:47:01] Erik: I saw it.
[0:47:01 – 0:47:09] Adam: There’s room in the studio shed here for the entire Min 2 with Gordy at the helm wearing the sombrero.
[0:47:09 – 0:47:10] Adam: So he’s not in here right now.
[0:47:11 – 0:47:16] Adam: Because he doesn’t know how to behave while we’re recording, but we’re going to figure out a way to hoist him into the rafters.
[0:47:16 – 0:47:18] Erik: Yeah, I mean, he’s just a little too spicy yet.
[0:47:19 – 0:47:22] Adam: The Olay fire was detected later in the day on August 10th.
[0:47:23 – 0:47:24] Adam: Oh, details.
[0:47:25 – 0:47:28] Adam: It’s located on the north arm of Burntside Lake.
[0:47:28 – 0:47:32] Adam: The fire is 0.2 acres and has a containment line around the perimeter.
[0:47:32 – 0:47:38] Adam: Firefighters will continue to secure these lines and begin mop-up operations.
[0:47:38 – 0:47:40] SPEAKER_00: Next up, Pelt Lake Fire.
[0:47:40 – 0:47:42] Adam: This fire was discovered after dark.
[0:47:42 – 0:47:43] Adam: After dark.
[0:47:44 – 0:47:46] Adam: This is a naughty fire.
[0:47:46 – 0:47:56] Adam: The Pelt Lake Fire is very naughty and was detected in the afternoon in the nighttime of August 10th, located two miles northwest of Isabella.
[0:47:57 – 0:47:59] Adam: It is estimated to be less than an acre in size.
[0:47:59 – 0:48:05] Adam: Firefighters were able to access the fire yesterday to begin establishing control lines and mopping up.
[0:48:06 – 0:48:09] Adam: This fire is only 20% contained.
[0:48:09 – 0:48:10] Adam: Oh, look out.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:12] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:48:13 – 0:48:14] Adam: That’s naughty.
[0:48:14 – 0:48:22] Erik: I don’t even know what this show is anymore.
[0:48:22 – 0:48:27] Adam: This fire segment’s been way more entertaining than I thought it possibly could be.
[0:48:27 – 0:48:28] Adam: I just literally screen grabbed these.
[0:48:29 – 0:48:29] Adam: I didn’t look at them.
[0:48:29 – 0:48:30] Adam: So this is a lot of fun.
[0:48:31 – 0:48:55] Adam: yeah i’ve just we’re both in on this now i’ve just been sleeping 16 hours a day horribly depressed and adam’s like we need content and this is what he brings to the table you did it you did it you did it gordy you did it all right this is the last uh we got one more uh fire section and then some closures to discuss and that’s the end of this uh fire update
[0:48:55 – 0:48:56] Adam: Canadian fires.
[0:48:56 – 0:49:06] Adam: Quetico Provincial Park continues to manage several fires burning north of the international border from the Boundary Waters area canoe wilderness.
[0:49:07 – 0:49:13] Adam: Three of these fires have potential to spread across the border into areas near Crooked and Iron Lakes.
[0:49:13 – 0:49:18] Adam: Due to the last few days of drying, fire activity has been observed to be active.
[0:49:19 – 0:49:25] Adam: The force continues to conduct daily monitoring flights over the fires and coordinate with counterparts in Ontario.
[0:49:26 – 0:49:31] Adam: For more information on the fires in Ontario and an interactive fire map,
[0:49:33 – 0:49:35] Adam: Well, good on you, Ontario.
[0:49:35 – 0:49:36] Adam: They have a link there.
[0:49:36 – 0:49:39] Adam: If you want to check it out, you’re going to have to go on Facebook.
[0:49:39 – 0:49:45] Adam: I’m not spelling out the entire HTTPS link for you via podcast.
[0:49:46 – 0:49:47] Adam: I will fax it to you, though.
[0:49:48 – 0:49:52] Adam: Hit me up on Instagram, tumblehomecast at Instagram.
[0:49:52 – 0:49:55] Adam: I will then get your fax number and fax you the link there.
[0:49:55 – 0:49:56] Erik: Fax you the URL.
[0:49:56 – 0:49:58] Adam: To the interactive fire map.
[0:49:59 – 0:50:00] Adam: Lastly, closures.
[0:50:01 – 0:50:03] Adam: And this will be a good place to leave it.
[0:50:03 – 0:50:07] Adam: We’ve got to have closures remain in place.
[0:50:07 – 0:50:15] Adam: On the Kawishui and Lac La Croix Ranger Districts until at least August 16th, closures are adjacent to the Canadian border.
[0:50:16 – 0:50:20] Adam: For details, visit the Superior National Forest website at
[0:50:21 – 0:50:22] Adam: I will say this about their website.
[0:50:22 – 0:50:27] Adam: They had like zero updates on there and they literally made me go to Facebook to get these new updates.
[0:50:28 – 0:50:36] Adam: Their actual regular website for non-Facebook users is their latest update was like July 12th or something insane.
[0:50:36 – 0:50:38] Erik: Zuckerberg’s got them in his back pocket.
[0:50:38 – 0:50:39] Adam: Ridiculous.
[0:50:39 – 0:50:41] Adam: Okay, ridiculous.
[0:50:42 – 0:50:45] Adam: That concludes today’s fire update.
[0:50:46 – 0:50:49] Erik: Okay, hopefully may it be the last.
[0:50:50 – 0:50:52] Adam: You know what the… Arrow.
[0:50:52 – 0:50:53] Adam: God almighty.
[0:50:54 – 0:50:55] Adam: Learn to behave.
[0:50:55 – 0:50:58] Adam: This is the shit studio.
[0:50:58 – 0:50:59] Adam: It will not be the last.
[0:51:01 – 0:51:03] Erik: Well, I don’t look forward to another one.
[0:51:03 – 0:51:04] Erik: I’ll tell you that.
[0:51:04 – 0:51:04] Adam: I did.
[0:51:04 – 0:51:05] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:51:05 – 0:51:17] Adam: I didn’t screen grab it, but I did see a couple posts on the same Facebook account claiming that multiple little mop-up fires around the Tofty Road had been discovered, wherever that is.
[0:51:18 – 0:51:18] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:51:18 – 0:51:19] Erik: Down by Clara Lake.
[0:51:19 – 0:51:21] Erik: Started a fire on the island on Clara.
[0:51:21 – 0:51:22] Adam: That’s the one.
[0:51:22 – 0:51:22] Adam: Yeah.
[0:51:22 – 0:51:23] Adam: Well, there’s multiple ones.
[0:51:24 – 0:51:29] Adam: of people, like, they literally found, like, fires clearly caused by people just having a fire.
[0:51:29 – 0:51:30] Adam: Yeah.
[0:51:30 – 0:51:36] Adam: Because the rules don’t apply to me, and the experts don’t know what they’re talking about.
[0:51:36 – 0:51:40] Adam: I’ve done my research, and I can have a fire, you idiots.
[0:51:41 – 0:51:41] Adam: You idiot.
[0:51:41 – 0:51:43] Erik: You human paraquat.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:48] Adam: So, yeah, they found the island on Claire.
[0:51:48 – 0:51:49] Adam: I got scorched.
[0:51:49 – 0:51:54] Adam: And they found a couple other ones like that where clearly people had just been having a fire.
[0:51:54 – 0:51:55] Adam: Just saying to heck with it.
[0:51:55 – 0:51:57] Adam: Who cares about anybody else?
[0:51:57 – 0:52:01] Adam: The only important person in this entire world is the person in the mirror.
[0:52:02 – 0:52:02] Erik: Yeah.
[0:52:03 – 0:52:06] Adam: And yeah, I just looked it up just to figure it out.
[0:52:06 – 0:52:09] Adam: The fine is $5,000 and six months imprisonment.
[0:52:10 – 0:52:12] Adam: If you are caught, that’s the maximum though.
[0:52:12 – 0:52:14] Adam: It doesn’t seem severe enough to me.
[0:52:14 – 0:52:15] Adam: No, that’s the same.
[0:52:15 – 0:52:15] Adam: If you cause a forest fire.
[0:52:16 – 0:52:23] Erik: That’s the same punishment for if you don’t camp with a current U.S. Forest Service sanctioned bear canister.
[0:52:24 – 0:52:24] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:52:24 – 0:52:38] Erik: which I am so glad on one hand that I am no longer involved in any kind of outfitting way, shape, or form because that is some serious BS from the Forest Service to drop that on outfitters in the middle of the season.
[0:52:38 – 0:52:38] Erik: Yeah, yeah.
[0:52:39 – 0:52:41] Erik: That like blue bear barrels are no longer sufficient.
[0:52:42 – 0:52:44] Erik: There’s thousands of them out there.
[0:52:44 – 0:52:49] Adam: I wouldn’t even worry about it because it’s not like they actually have people patrolling or doing anything in the field at this point.
[0:52:49 – 0:52:52] Erik: All it is is just them covering their own… Yeah.
[0:52:52 – 0:52:54] Erik: …backsides.
[0:52:54 – 0:53:07] Erik: So if something does come up where, like, somebody wants to, like, oh, all my food got ate, and then, like, my boy got, like, he had a diabetic seizure or whatever, they can be like, hey, well, our regulations were in place.
[0:53:07 – 0:53:16] Adam: You had to have those crazy, like, tiny… Chernobyl concrete bunker grizzly-proof… And I looked it up, too.
[0:53:16 – 0:53:17] Adam: It’s like, what’s the regs?
[0:53:17 – 0:53:17] Adam: And they’re like…
[0:53:18 – 0:53:21] Adam: Go to grizzlylocker.com for specs.
[0:53:21 – 0:53:22] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:22 – 0:53:23] Adam: It’s like, yeah, okay.
[0:53:23 – 0:53:28] Adam: I don’t think that’s necessary for the Black Bears, but… Well, maybe we could have had a discussion.
[0:53:28 – 0:53:29] Adam: It’s all about liability.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:30] Adam: I agree.
[0:53:30 – 0:53:38] Erik: It’s a liability thing, but like, hey, open up a dialogue between outfitters and, oh, wait, maybe think about this.
[0:53:38 – 0:53:48] Erik: The actual users of the park in terms of what they see on the ground day to day and not just based on one scientist slash lawyer.
[0:53:49 – 0:53:53] Erik: I guarantee it was all lawyers that were like, hey, we got to kind of start.
[0:53:53 – 0:53:54] Erik: These bears are getting.
[0:53:54 – 0:54:17] Erik: little bit more it means bears are getting pretty frisky so they can i love that they can just drop the hammer on like a quick action on stuff like that but it takes them years to like do anything else that’s remotely helpful the forest service can go pound sand and i am so happy i like that you’re still anti-forest service and even more so now we should be you’re still pro outfitter though
[0:54:17 – 0:54:19] Erik: You’re still an outfitter at heart.
[0:54:19 – 0:54:19] Erik: Yeah.
[0:54:19 – 0:54:23] Erik: But I mean, you can’t imagine an outfitter who’s like, I got all these bear barrels.
[0:54:23 – 0:54:26] Erik: I doubled down because that’s what I did because bear barrels were the thing.
[0:54:26 – 0:54:26] Erik: The blue ones.
[0:54:27 – 0:54:27] Erik: Yeah, sure.
[0:54:27 – 0:54:28] Erik: Fine.
[0:54:28 – 0:54:29] Erik: They’re not like 100% bear proof.
[0:54:29 – 0:54:30] Erik: They work.
[0:54:30 – 0:54:31] Erik: But they work.
[0:54:31 – 0:54:35] Erik: And it does actually keep the vast majority of bears away from food if you know what you’re doing.
[0:54:36 – 0:54:41] Erik: It’s the people that go out with them and then just leave them like sitting in camp loose, not tied to anything.
[0:54:41 – 0:54:49] Erik: That, okay, now a blue bear barrel has just gone off into the woods and a bear is going to learn how to open it and then like, I don’t know, maybe teach the young.
[0:54:50 – 0:54:51] Erik: I don’t know how that all works.
[0:54:52 – 0:54:53] Erik: I don’t know how that works.
[0:54:53 – 0:54:54] Adam: Here’s what you got to teach a young.
[0:54:54 – 0:54:55] Adam: Teach them how to work.
[0:54:56 – 0:54:57] Adam: Give them a paper out.
[0:54:57 – 0:54:58] Adam: Yeah, it’s just crazy.
[0:54:58 – 0:54:59] Adam: Bears doing a paper out.
[0:54:59 – 0:55:02] Adam: They could really sling them papers, let me tell you.
[0:55:02 – 0:55:07] Erik: Yeah, here’s a huge change to the way that you’ve been doing business as an outfitter.
[0:55:07 – 0:55:10] Erik: It’s going to come down in the middle of the busiest time of your season.
[0:55:10 – 0:55:14] Adam: Yeah, it would be like the health inspectors coming around and being like,
[0:55:14 – 0:55:16] Adam: You can’t serve cold cuts anymore.
[0:55:17 – 0:55:17] Erik: What?
[0:55:17 – 0:55:18] Erik: That’s all we serve.
[0:55:18 – 0:55:21] Erik: All our sandwiches are full of cold cuts, ma’am.
[0:55:24 – 0:55:24] Adam: No cold cuts.
[0:55:24 – 0:55:25] Adam: You’re out of here.
[0:55:25 – 0:55:26] Adam: Like, okay.
[0:55:26 – 0:55:28] Adam: It’s probably not even a great comp.
[0:55:28 – 0:55:31] Adam: I mean, it would be like just saying, like,
[0:55:33 – 0:55:36] Adam: Consider not serving cold cuts, possibly.
[0:55:36 – 0:55:38] Adam: Or else.
[0:55:38 – 0:55:39] Adam: What does that mean?
[0:55:39 – 0:55:45] Erik: It would be like them saying that, and then you knowing that they would never come in to actually check in on it.
[0:55:46 – 0:55:52] Erik: And it would just be like, if somebody’s like, hey, I’m allergic to cold cuts, then the health service department can’t be like…
[0:55:52 – 0:55:53] Adam: Literally the worst.
[0:55:53 – 0:55:54] Adam: Yeah.
[0:55:54 – 0:55:55] Adam: Allergic to cold cuts.
[0:55:57 – 0:56:00] Erik: That would be a terrible allergy.
[0:56:00 – 0:56:02] Adam: That’s the worst one I’ve heard yet.
[0:56:02 – 0:56:07] Adam: Somebody had all onions, garlics, all that.
[0:56:08 – 0:56:09] Adam: Alliums.
[0:56:09 – 0:56:10] Adam: No alliums allowed.
[0:56:10 – 0:56:12] Adam: I was like, could you possibly make me a soup?
[0:56:13 – 0:56:14] Adam: No alliums?
[0:56:14 – 0:56:14] Adam: I was like,
[0:56:15 – 0:56:16] Adam: Most of them start with the alliums.
[0:56:16 – 0:56:18] Adam: I would just literally shoot my tongue off.
[0:56:19 – 0:56:21] Adam: I couldn’t eat any alliums.
[0:56:21 – 0:56:22] Adam: Sorry.
[0:56:23 – 0:56:23] Adam: I did try.
[0:56:24 – 0:56:26] Adam: To my credit, I did try, and it was a failure.
[0:56:27 – 0:56:28] Erik: Yeah.
[0:56:28 – 0:56:30] Erik: I mean, even powdered stuff wouldn’t suffice.
[0:56:30 – 0:56:31] Erik: They can’t do that either?
[0:56:32 – 0:56:32] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:56:32 – 0:56:33] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:56:34 – 0:56:34] Adam: No, no, no.
[0:56:34 – 0:56:35] Erik: Celery?
[0:56:36 – 0:56:36] Erik: Mm-mm.
[0:56:37 – 0:56:37] Erik: Yeah.
[0:56:37 – 0:56:37] Erik: All right.
[0:56:37 – 0:56:40] Erik: Then you just have to give up on soup as an option then.
[0:56:40 – 0:56:41] Erik: I’m sorry.
[0:56:41 – 0:56:42] Erik: Maybe you do everything.
[0:56:43 – 0:56:44] Erik: Just give up on everything.
[0:56:44 – 0:56:47] Erik: Maybe tomato soup just from a can.
[0:56:47 – 0:56:47] Adam: That’s what I tried.
[0:56:47 – 0:56:48] Adam: Yeah.
[0:56:48 – 0:56:49] Adam: It wasn’t enough.
[0:56:49 – 0:56:54] Erik: And I’m sure that there’s probably still versions of onions and garlic in that too.
[0:56:54 – 0:56:55] Adam: Yeah.
[0:56:55 – 0:56:56] Adam: It was real dicey.
[0:56:56 – 0:56:59] Adam: You couldn’t even like burn them tomatoes to make it taste.
[0:56:59 – 0:57:00] Erik: It’s anti-dicey.
[0:57:00 – 0:57:01] Erik: You can’t dice anything.
[0:57:02 – 0:57:03] Erik: No dicing allowed.
[0:57:06 – 0:57:09] Erik: What else you got there in your notes of content?
[0:57:09 – 0:57:12] Adam: I have one more item for you, Eric.
[0:57:12 – 0:57:13] Adam: Have you seen the Perseids?
[0:57:14 – 0:57:14] Erik: No.
[0:57:15 – 0:57:18] Erik: I’ve been, like I said, going to sleep by… You’re camping.
[0:57:18 – 0:57:21] Erik: I’m like well after my bedtime.
[0:57:21 – 0:57:21] Adam: What?
[0:57:22 – 0:57:25] Erik: I’ve been going to bed by about like quarter to nine, nine at the latest.
[0:57:26 – 0:57:48] Adam: going to turn it in after jeopardy no it’s like oh i’m sorry after wheel of fortune you’ve been watching a wheel of fortune i don’t have access to television you gotta be kidding on the radio on am oh god that would be amazing to listen to wheel of fortune wheel of fortune on radio yeah it’s on the am dial eric okay you gotta tune in after your afternoon oatmeal
[0:57:50 – 0:57:50] Erik: Yeah?
[0:57:51 – 0:57:51] Erik: Well, all right.
[0:57:52 – 0:57:56] Erik: So, yes, I know that this is the time of year for the Perseids.
[0:57:56 – 0:57:57] Erik: Yeah, they’re banging.
[0:57:57 – 0:57:58] Erik: They’re banging?
[0:57:58 – 0:57:58] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:57:58 – 0:58:03] Erik: I know that our skies have finally become smoke-free.
[0:58:03 – 0:58:04] Adam: Yeah.
[0:58:04 – 0:58:10] Adam: For all these fires we’re talking about, and I don’t even know what’s going on in Saskatchewan or Ontario.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:11] Adam: You don’t want to know.
[0:58:13 – 0:58:18] Adam: I don’t know what’s going on up there, but for whatever reason, the other night, the sky was both twinkly and crispy.
[0:58:20 – 0:58:22] Adam: And I was like, I heard the Perseids are going.
[0:58:22 – 0:58:25] Adam: So I like walked around to the dark side of the house.
[0:58:26 – 0:58:27] Erik: Dark side of the house.
[0:58:27 – 0:58:32] Adam: And literally as soon as I got over there, I looked, I just looked, I was like, you know, it’s always like, which direction you got to look?
[0:58:32 – 0:58:33] Adam: Where’s Perseus?
[0:58:33 – 0:58:36] Adam: I don’t know my constellations or where they are currently.
[0:58:37 – 0:58:39] Adam: I literally just looked up and I saw one from the middle of the sky go.
[0:58:41 – 0:58:42] Erik: Nice.
[0:58:42 – 0:58:43] Adam: And then a huge explosion.
[0:58:43 – 0:58:44] Adam: And it crashed into the lake.
[0:58:44 – 0:58:45] Adam: And then a lot of screams.
[0:58:45 – 0:58:47] Adam: And I was like, well, that was intense.
[0:58:47 – 0:58:47] Adam: That was great.
[0:58:48 – 0:58:49] Erik: A light, distant glow.
[0:58:49 – 0:58:52] Adam: And then like a humming noise.
[0:58:54 – 0:58:56] Adam: And then Nine Inch Nails song.
[0:58:56 – 0:59:03] Adam: And then like these giant roaches started climbing out of the old dusty beaver pond out back.
[0:59:03 – 0:59:06] Erik: Yeah, and it just turned out that you were watching Twin Peaks Season 3.
[0:59:07 – 0:59:08] Adam: Is that what happened?
[0:59:08 – 0:59:11] Adam: I knew something was off about the whole thing.
[0:59:12 – 0:59:14] Erik: You just described the seventh episode of Twin Peaks season three.
[0:59:15 – 0:59:15] Erik: Ugh.
[0:59:17 – 0:59:19] Adam: Anyways, so the Perseids, check them out.
[0:59:19 – 0:59:19] Erik: Sure.
[0:59:19 – 0:59:20] Erik: Catch the fever.
[0:59:20 – 0:59:21] Erik: The Perseids, check them out.
[0:59:21 – 0:59:28] Adam: That was yesterday, yesterday, and then yesterday I went out, same deal, about 11 o’clock at night.
[0:59:28 – 0:59:29] Erik: It was nice and dark.
[0:59:29 – 0:59:30] Erik: That was episode eight.
[0:59:30 – 0:59:51] Adam: and then uh i don’t know we’re gonna have to like call up trent and ask him which one was it trent are you out there are you listening trent resident back to back though for real yeah and then the next then yesterday i went out same deal dark side of the house there they go again dang it was you know haze free clear
[0:59:52 – 0:59:56] Adam: I mean, we even sort of rained a little bit yesterday, and then all of a sudden everything cleared out at night.
[0:59:57 – 1:00:01] Adam: No moon up yet, or if it was, it was down behind the trees at least.
[1:00:01 – 1:00:02] Adam: It’s sort of a crescent right now.
[1:00:02 – 1:00:03] Adam: It’s a light moon.
[1:00:03 – 1:00:06] Adam: And, yeah, more Perseids.
[1:00:06 – 1:00:08] Adam: So it was like two for two on the Perseids.
[1:00:09 – 1:00:11] Adam: I’m going to try again tonight, but I think we’re kind of past peak now.
[1:00:12 – 1:00:38] Adam: anyways i did talk to a couple people who are dropping off art supplies and had camped on deer i will uh refrain from saying any more about their donation or their story but they did confirm that they were camped on deer and they saw the perseids there so there you go and i was just literally it was one of those things where i’m asking everybody at work hey did you stay up late and see the perseids yeah yeah yeah you see them streaky stars
[1:00:39 – 1:00:43] Erik: Yeah, no, I’ve been camped in a variety of places.
[1:00:44 – 1:00:52] Erik: Most of my time at this point has been spent actually down on the Big Lake, which you get… That would seem like a good spot to watch them.
[1:00:52 – 1:01:00] Erik: Yeah, and I’ve seen Mars rising and the light, the God’s thumbnail of a moon coming up.
[1:01:00 – 1:01:01] Erik: That’s why it’s been so dark.
[1:01:02 – 1:01:29] Erik: yeah but like it’s still not that actually it’s not that big of a sky around the lake because especially where we’re at it’s like all forest behind us and then like some hills so like you really only get like views to the south you’re only getting the yang not the yang my friend yeah I need that yang you sure do anyways Trent Reznor hit us up if you’re listening we need a chiptune versions of the ghost album please
[1:01:31 – 1:01:33] Adam: That’s kind of the original chiptune, maybe.
[1:01:33 – 1:01:34] Erik: Maybe.
[1:01:34 – 1:01:35] Erik: Maybe.
[1:01:35 – 1:01:37] Erik: Got any stems laying around that you can send us?
[1:01:37 – 1:01:38] Erik: Send us the stems.
[1:01:38 – 1:01:39] Erik: The OGs.
[1:01:41 – 1:01:41] Adam: All right.
[1:01:41 – 1:01:42] Adam: Well, that’s all I got.
[1:01:42 – 1:01:43] Adam: That’s all the rest of my bullet points.
[1:01:43 – 1:01:44] Adam: Well, that’s it.
[1:01:44 – 1:01:49] Adam: I’ve gotten to all the items on my agenda.
[1:01:50 – 1:01:51] Adam: No agenda, no attenda.
[1:01:51 – 1:01:53] Erik: No agenda, no attenda.
[1:01:53 – 1:02:00] Erik: But I really am happy and I’m sure there have been some attendas out there.
[1:02:00 – 1:02:08] Erik: Thank you for being here for a transition back into regularly programmed content.
[1:02:09 – 1:02:12] Erik: But I don’t even necessarily know what that looks like anymore going forward.
[1:02:13 – 1:02:14] Adam: It’ll never be the same.
[1:02:14 – 1:02:15] Erik: It’ll never be the same.
[1:02:16 – 1:02:16] Adam: It’s going to be better.
[1:02:17 – 1:02:18] Erik: Yes, it is.
[1:02:20 – 1:02:22] Erik: No holds barred at this point.
[1:02:23 – 1:02:23] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:02:24 – 1:02:26] Erik: I have things I’ve been trying to write.
[1:02:26 – 1:02:31] Erik: I’ve been writing like every day, something, just a thought, whether it’s long or short.
[1:02:31 – 1:02:38] Erik: I might start throwing that up on Patreon for nobody’s gain, but just for me to feel like I’m getting something out into the world.
[1:02:38 – 1:02:39] Erik: Written elocutions?
[1:02:39 – 1:02:40] Erik: Written.
[1:02:40 – 1:02:40] Erik: If you want to read.
[1:02:41 – 1:02:42] Erik: Does anybody read anymore?
[1:02:42 – 1:02:42] Erik: No.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:49] Erik: I don’t know if that would necessarily entice anybody to listen to written words.
[1:02:49 – 1:02:52] Adam: I’d read your poetry if you wrote some, Eric.
[1:02:52 – 1:02:53] Erik: I have some fun.
[1:02:53 – 1:02:55] Erik: I’ll probably just make, I’ll make that available to everybody.
[1:02:55 – 1:02:57] Erik: I wouldn’t make that like a Patreon only thing.
[1:02:57 – 1:03:05] Erik: You can go to our Patreon page and read my written words on coming to terms with my current state of affairs.
[1:03:06 – 1:03:07] Erik: Some are more positive than others.
[1:03:07 – 1:03:12] Erik: Some just end abruptly because I don’t have anything else to say about it.
[1:03:13 – 1:03:23] Erik: Um, but then there is also the potential that I do actually, in fact, take a bit of a meander, um, out to places that I haven’t necessarily been.
[1:03:24 – 1:03:28] Erik: And something about, this is a challenge I would think to me.
[1:03:29 – 1:03:33] Erik: It sounds great on paper, just the William Least heat moon style of a road trip.
[1:03:33 – 1:03:34] Adam: I love it.
[1:03:34 – 1:03:34] Adam: Yeah.
[1:03:34 – 1:03:36] Adam: You were telling me about this on Monday.
[1:03:36 – 1:03:37] Adam: I think we were hanging out.
[1:03:37 – 1:03:42] Erik: But it’s like, I feel like it’s so romanticized that once you get out there for like a couple of days, you’re like,
[1:03:43 – 1:04:12] Erik: man i just want to get on the interstate and go a lot faster yeah i think if i could force myself to settle into it i would love to see what the back roads of this country look like just think how many dollar generals you could see that’s probably all it’s going to end up being and the tentative title for it is uh this is fine a road trip through a country on fire it is yeah literally and figuratively it is fine and it is on fire yes that’s a good title right it’s catchy too yeah
[1:04:13 – 1:04:15] Erik: That might just be extra Patreon content.
[1:04:15 – 1:04:18] Erik: I don’t really think I’m going to try to fire up another podcast.
[1:04:19 – 1:04:24] Erik: At the very most, I might just put a stamp over the Tumble Home logo that just says adjacent.
[1:04:25 – 1:04:26] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:04:26 – 1:04:30] Adam: Just put the little dog sitting in the fire on top of the Tumble Home.
[1:04:30 – 1:04:31] Adam: There you go.
[1:04:32 – 1:04:34] Adam: That should be our Halloween costumes this year.
[1:04:34 – 1:04:37] Adam: You can be the little dog with the derby hat.
[1:04:37 – 1:04:38] Erik: And you’ll be the flames?
[1:04:38 – 1:04:39] Erik: I’ll be the fire, yeah.
[1:04:39 – 1:04:39] Erik: Okay, yeah.
[1:04:40 – 1:05:02] Adam: i’m i’m red-headed still sorta yeah it’s i’m like 30 red 70 gray right now yeah you wouldn’t require as much makeup as i would all right well i finished my second beer i think that’s a good place to leave it here uh our first episode from the tumble shed it’s been uh it’s been a lot of fun
[1:05:03 – 1:05:10] Adam: Honestly, it’s been great to sit back down and get the real microphones out and hang out by the big map again.
[1:05:11 – 1:05:12] Erik: The real mics are back.
[1:05:12 – 1:05:13] Erik: The big mic is back.
[1:05:14 – 1:05:24] Erik: At the very least, it is nice because my storage situation is a little squeaky and a little tight to be able to have these microphones stay here now.
[1:05:24 – 1:05:25] Adam: Yeah, this is a safe place.
[1:05:27 – 1:05:28] Erik: That’s good to know.
[1:05:28 – 1:05:31] Adam: And you definitely could set up a hammock in here if you need to, Eric.
[1:05:32 – 1:05:32] Adam: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[1:05:32 – 1:05:35] Adam: There’s a propane heater in here for those chilly nights.
[1:05:35 – 1:05:37] Adam: It’s going to be a good spot for us.
[1:05:38 – 1:05:49] Erik: And at the risk of going down a tangent that would add much more on to this episode, I will just say I have been, for the last three nights, sleeping on the ground.
[1:05:51 – 1:05:52] Erik: Oh my.
[1:05:53 – 1:05:54] Erik: More on that later.
[1:05:54 – 1:05:55] Erik: Oh my.
[1:05:56 – 1:05:57] Erik: No, it has nothing to do with that.
[1:05:57 – 1:06:01] Erik: It’s actually just a much more substantial sleeping pad.
[1:06:01 – 1:06:08] Erik: And where I’ve been sleeping has been much more amenable to just plopping down on the ground.
[1:06:08 – 1:06:13] Erik: Or maybe it’s just that my body doesn’t care where I’m sleeping right now and I can sleep anywhere.
[1:06:13 – 1:06:15] Erik: But it’s actually been okay.
[1:06:15 – 1:06:16] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:06:16 – 1:06:17] Erik: Well, your hair looks great.
[1:06:18 – 1:06:20] Adam: Oh, well, I got that going for me.
[1:06:20 – 1:06:21] Adam: That’s pretty nice.
[1:06:22 – 1:06:34] Erik: And we’re going to save the last of the pleasant streets for our conversation on the family dynamic that is a goofy movie.
[1:06:35 – 1:06:37] Erik: Is he an only dad?
[1:06:39 – 1:06:39] Erik: What’s his name?
[1:06:43 – 1:06:45] Adam: There’s so many questions, really.
[1:06:45 – 1:06:46] Erik: A lot of questions.
[1:06:46 – 1:06:47] Adam: About that.
[1:06:47 – 1:06:51] Adam: How does him and his boss both get PTO at the same time?
[1:06:51 – 1:06:55] Erik: For having basically the saddest jobs imaginable.
[1:06:55 – 1:06:56] Erik: Yeah.
[1:06:56 – 1:06:57] Adam: How are they both off?
[1:06:57 – 1:07:00] Adam: They’re child photographers at a department store.
[1:07:01 – 1:07:02] Erik: And they’re very good at it.
[1:07:02 – 1:07:07] Erik: His friend or whatever has the most boss version of an RV ever.
[1:07:08 – 1:07:08] Erik: Yes.
[1:07:08 – 1:07:12] Adam: Yeah, for working at a department store.
[1:07:12 – 1:07:12] Adam: Yes.
[1:07:12 – 1:07:17] Adam: Well, that’s what happens when you get to go to college for the price of a Chicken McNugget.
[1:07:17 – 1:07:21] Adam: You just end up getting to buy RVs with all your money because you don’t have any student debt.
[1:07:22 – 1:07:24] Adam: These were the simpler times in America, Eric.
[1:07:25 – 1:07:25] Adam: The 90s?
[1:07:25 – 1:07:26] Adam: This is what Walt Disney wanted.
[1:07:28 – 1:07:28] Adam: Sure.
[1:07:28 – 1:07:29] Adam: Well, I mean, the movies…
[1:07:30 – 1:07:34] Adam: I think the movie came out in the 90s, but I believe it was set in earlier times.
[1:07:34 – 1:07:34] Adam: But although…
[1:07:35 – 1:07:38] Adam: Now, you mentioned the technology in that RV was pretty advanced.
[1:07:38 – 1:07:39] Adam: I don’t know what to make of it.
[1:07:40 – 1:07:45] Erik: I would say that the movie is set in the time that it came out, specifically because of Powerline.
[1:07:45 – 1:07:46] Adam: Because of Powerline, yeah.
[1:07:46 – 1:07:48] Erik: And the Prince ripoff that he is.
[1:07:48 – 1:07:49] Adam: Yeah, okay.
[1:07:49 – 1:07:50] Adam: That does make sense.
[1:07:51 – 1:07:53] Adam: So, yeah, I guess it doesn’t make sense.
[1:07:54 – 1:07:57] Adam: How are they able to go on such lavish vacations?
[1:07:59 – 1:07:59] Adam: There is no…
[1:07:59 – 1:08:02] Adam: I mean, yeah, honestly, there is no middle class anymore.
[1:08:02 – 1:08:04] Erik: Who’s going to take pictures of the kids?
[1:08:05 – 1:08:10] Adam: Yeah, they got like a fourth and fifth photographer lined up in the background.
[1:08:10 – 1:08:13] Adam: They got people covering your shifts while you take off.
[1:08:14 – 1:08:21] Adam: I would just think when they come back, they probably have to just take like 20 times more picks than normal to catch up because there’s nobody covering your shifts.
[1:08:22 – 1:08:23] Adam: This is all a lie.
[1:08:23 – 1:08:38] Erik: Well, these thoughts and more on this week’s Tumble Home Cinema Classics, a goofy movie, and maybe we’ll wait and you can share with me on the Cinema Classic what you’re going to mandate for me for the rest of this month.
[1:08:39 – 1:08:40] Erik: For the second one…
[1:08:40 – 1:08:47] Erik: And then we are, again, I think toying with the idea of doing an additional episode.
[1:08:47 – 1:08:54] Erik: It would probably be much shorter, but I think it would just be our general thoughts on, hey, what you listening to lately?
[1:08:55 – 1:08:57] Erik: Albums, maybe like a 10 or 15 minute conversation.
[1:08:58 – 1:09:03] Erik: We listen to a lot of music and we basically have these conversations anyway.
[1:09:04 – 1:09:07] Erik: And might as well fire up the mics and share them with you.
[1:09:07 – 1:09:07] Adam: Just keep them on.
[1:09:08 – 1:09:08] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:08 – 1:09:09] Adam: Just don’t turn them off.
[1:09:09 – 1:09:10] Adam: TumbleTunes.
[1:09:10 – 1:09:10] Erik: Just don’t turn them off.
[1:09:10 – 1:09:23] Erik: TumbleTunes, maybe the third installment, two TCCs, the TumbleTunes, and then an elocution of Eric’s ramblings as he finds his way on the road of the back roads.
[1:09:24 – 1:09:28] Adam: How sad or happy will the middle of Kansas be?
[1:09:29 – 1:09:30] Adam: Not on an interstate.
[1:09:32 – 1:09:32] Adam: All right.
[1:09:32 – 1:09:34] Adam: Coming to you from the tumble shed.
[1:09:34 – 1:09:36] Adam: My name has been Francois.
[1:09:36 – 1:09:39] Adam: Like I started joined here with my good man, Eric.
[1:09:39 – 1:09:41] Adam: Thank you for being here tonight, Eric.
[1:09:41 – 1:09:42] Adam: And thank you all for listening.
[1:09:43 – 1:09:47] Adam: And I hope your summers are as magical as ours have been.
[1:09:47 – 1:09:54] Adam: It truly is the most wonderful time of the year, especially for swimming and paddling.
[1:09:54 – 1:09:58] Adam: So for all of you out there paddling and swimming, we love you very much.
[1:09:59 – 1:10:00] Adam: Happy swimming.
[1:10:01 – 1:10:01] Erik: Happy swimming.
[1:10:02 – 1:10:09] Erik: Half of what you just said was a lie based on my own opinion, but I do feel very comfortable and cozy in here.
[1:10:09 – 1:10:13] Erik: The lighting is not the same.
[1:10:14 – 1:10:15] Erik: There are some ticks.
[1:10:15 – 1:10:17] Erik: Cozy lights in here right now.
[1:10:17 – 1:10:20] Erik: Just sitting here for the rest of the night.
[1:10:20 – 1:10:21] Adam: Seriously, I’m really loving the new space.
[1:10:23 – 1:10:24] Adam: Maybe we should.
[1:10:24 – 1:10:25] Adam: We will.
[1:10:25 – 1:10:25] Adam: We will.
[1:10:26 – 1:10:29] Adam: Good night.
