Episode Transcript

[0:00:33 – 0:00:35] Adam: Welcome to Tumble Home, a Boundary Waters podcast.
[0:00:37 – 0:00:48] Adam: You’re listening to episode 0162 of Tumble Home, a proud independent podcast about paddling in the wilderness, usually the Boundary Waters, tonight.
[0:00:49 – 0:00:51] Adam: I’m joined by my good friend Eric here in the Tumble Shed.
[0:00:51 – 0:00:55] Adam: We’re talking about places to paddle that aren’t the Boundary Waters, part two.
[0:00:55 – 0:00:56] Erik: Part two, hello.
[0:00:57 – 0:00:57] Erik: Hello.
[0:00:58 – 0:01:03] Erik: Probably the last fully adjacent episode.
[0:01:04 – 0:01:07] Erik: I feel like we got to do a lake review or something.
[0:01:07 – 0:01:08] Erik: I got a lake review in me.
[0:01:08 – 0:01:09] Erik: Just come on.
[0:01:09 – 0:01:10] Erik: We got to get back.
[0:01:10 – 0:01:12] Erik: Now it almost seems like everything’s back.
[0:01:13 – 0:01:15] Erik: All is right with the world.
[0:01:15 – 0:01:17] Erik: We’ll get to some of those updates.
[0:01:18 – 0:01:27] Erik: But yes, this is a 99.1% of the time Boundary Waters based podcast.
[0:01:27 – 0:01:27] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:01:27 – 0:01:28] Erik: You could do the math.
[0:01:28 – 0:01:30] Adam: Yeah, the data back set up, back checked on the fly.
[0:01:31 – 0:01:31] Erik: Yeah.
[0:01:31 – 0:01:33] Erik: I mean, I see the calculator over there.
[0:01:33 – 0:01:34] Erik: You’re doing it.
[0:01:35 – 0:01:37] Erik: Thank you for joining us.
[0:01:37 – 0:01:38] Erik: We’re in the tumble shed.
[0:01:38 – 0:01:38] Erik: The lights.
[0:01:38 – 0:01:39] Erik: Oh, the lights.
[0:01:40 – 0:01:41] Erik: They are shimmering.
[0:01:42 – 0:01:47] Erik: We’ve got some fun new things in here just to make it even cozier than it possibly…
[0:01:49 – 0:01:50] Adam: Could be.
[0:01:51 – 0:01:55] Erik: And we are sponsored, as always, by our fine friends on Patreon.
[0:01:55 – 0:01:56] Erik: Thank you, Patrons.
[0:01:57 – 0:01:58] Erik: I… We?
[0:01:58 – 0:02:00] Erik: No.
[0:02:00 – 0:02:01] Erik: I take that back.
[0:02:01 – 0:02:07] Erik: I am going to have to apologize because we promised Last of the Mohicans…
[0:02:09 – 0:02:20] Erik: And I audibled last second because one of the greats, classic Norm MacDonald, left us this last week.
[0:02:21 – 0:02:23] Adam: It was classic Norm MacDonald dying like that.
[0:02:23 – 0:02:24] Erik: Classic.
[0:02:24 – 0:02:25] Erik: Nobody, I mean.
[0:02:25 – 0:02:26] Adam: Nobody had drier humor.
[0:02:27 – 0:02:29] Erik: Nobody’s ever died quite like Norm Macdonald.
[0:02:29 – 0:02:33] Erik: Out of the blue and on his own and in his own way.
[0:02:34 – 0:02:39] Erik: And so to honor him, I figured, why not revisit Dirty Work?
[0:02:39 – 0:02:52] Erik: I think the proto-90s Adam Sandler-style comedy that really did kind of set the stage for at least a decade of movies of that ilk.
[0:02:54 – 0:02:56] Erik: Um, we’ll get all, we’ll get all up in that movie.
[0:02:57 – 0:03:01] Erik: I don’t think it was necessarily a showcase for who Norm MacDonald necessarily was.
[0:03:01 – 0:03:11] Erik: Uh, I think some of my favorite parts of him were more SNL based and specifically when he was on, uh, talk shows and his standup.
[0:03:12 – 0:03:17] Erik: But nevertheless, um, I think it was probably maybe his most well-known movie.
[0:03:18 – 0:03:20] Adam: Yeah, it’s the only one I know about.
[0:03:20 – 0:03:22] Erik: Oddly enough, directed by Bob Saget.
[0:03:22 – 0:03:25] Adam: Bob Saget, yeah.
[0:03:25 – 0:03:26] Adam: Directorial debut.
[0:03:27 – 0:03:27] Erik: Yeah.
[0:03:27 – 0:03:29] Adam: I guess that was only like a year.
[0:03:29 – 0:03:32] Adam: He basically quit America’s Funniest Home Videos and then made this movie.
[0:03:33 – 0:03:34] Erik: That’s an interesting transition.
[0:03:34 – 0:03:35] Adam: Yeah.
[0:03:35 – 0:03:36] Adam: So you can tell.
[0:03:37 – 0:03:39] Adam: You can tell, I think.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:42] Adam: And also more untucked.
[0:03:43 – 0:04:09] Adam: uh plaid short-sleeved like collared shirts but not buttoned than any movie ever made well it was like the height of that as like that was a look yeah why was that a look uh very loose button your shirt yeah or or don’t wear it it was more of a cape than a shirt i don’t even know i didn’t think of the 90s as cape times but that was some plaid caping
[0:04:10 – 0:04:12] Erik: I don’t even know if it was necessarily the look of the times.
[0:04:13 – 0:04:16] Erik: It was just the look of movies like that at the time.
[0:04:16 – 0:04:16] Erik: Yes.
[0:04:16 – 0:04:18] Erik: Was it a wardrobe issue?
[0:04:18 – 0:04:22] Adam: In every scene, it was like a slightly different kind of plaid, though.
[0:04:22 – 0:04:23] Adam: Slightly different, biggie.
[0:04:23 – 0:04:27] Adam: I don’t believe that this character would have that many different clean shirts.
[0:04:27 – 0:04:28] Adam: I’m just going to say it.
[0:04:28 – 0:04:30] Adam: You just got fired from Aldo’s Pizza.
[0:04:30 – 0:04:33] Adam: Do you really have 10 different plaid shirts?
[0:04:33 – 0:04:34] Adam: They’re all clean?
[0:04:34 – 0:04:37] Erik: Yeah, it seemed like most of his clothes were being worn by strangers.
[0:04:38 – 0:04:39] Adam: Yeah, and that.
[0:04:40 – 0:04:41] Erik: And that.
[0:04:41 – 0:04:41] Erik: Yeah.
[0:04:41 – 0:04:43] Erik: So we’re going to talk about dirty work.
[0:04:44 – 0:04:50] Erik: If you were waiting on bated breath for The Last of the Mohicans and Daniel Day-Lewis chat, you’re just going to have to…
[0:04:50 – 0:04:55] Adam: I think we are going to postpone those until February because now I can’t do Phantom Threat either.
[0:04:55 – 0:04:57] Adam: Eric’s canceled The Last of the Mohicans.
[0:04:57 – 0:04:59] Erik: I mean, you got to roll with it sometimes.
[0:05:01 – 0:05:04] Adam: He’s the Natty Bumpo of Tom Holm Cinema Classics.
[0:05:05 – 0:05:05] Erik: Yeah, exactly.
[0:05:05 – 0:05:06] Erik: I don’t even know who that is.
[0:05:06 – 0:05:09] Adam: He just threw a hatchet right through the waterfall.
[0:05:09 – 0:05:38] Erik: oh boy see now I’m regretting making that change but it was all in good faith for somebody who you know over the last like decade and a half I’ve kind of lost touch with what he’s been doing but I remember back in the day he was one of my favorites that made me laugh in ways that was not not like very many other comics I truly I did laugh quite a bit but I also just stared at the screen quite a bit like stupefied yeah no it’s an interesting equal mix of that
[0:05:40 – 0:05:54] Erik: yeah there’s a couple of my favorite like jokes maybe in any movie but then yes long periods of time where you’re just like hmm they do handle fish so we will get to that there is a connection yeah uh yes
[0:05:56 – 0:06:19] Adam: today is uh ron shara outdoor calendar fact of the day for uh september 17th 2021 sunset is at 7 19 p.m remember to patch those hip boots and check the decoys especially your gordies gonna want to check your gordies make sure they’re not interacting with weird globed party lights
[0:06:20 – 0:06:22] Erik: Gordy, knock it off.
[0:06:22 – 0:06:23] Erik: I’ve had enough.
[0:06:24 – 0:06:24] Adam: Check your Gordys.
[0:06:24 – 0:06:27] Adam: Check your Gordys and your hip boots.
[0:06:27 – 0:06:29] Adam: That is your Ron Scherr Outdoor Calendar Fact of the Day.
[0:06:30 – 0:06:32] Adam: Nothing about the grouse opener on there.
[0:06:32 – 0:06:33] Adam: It’s got to be on there.
[0:06:34 – 0:06:34] Adam: When is that?
[0:06:35 – 0:06:36] Adam: I think it’s tomorrow.
[0:06:37 – 0:06:38] Adam: Tomorrow is grouse opener.
[0:06:38 – 0:06:41] Erik: Bonassa Umbelas Part 2.
[0:06:41 – 0:06:43] Adam: We won’t be hunting any grouse tomorrow.
[0:06:43 – 0:06:44] Adam: I don’t like to hunt on opener.
[0:06:45 – 0:06:47] Adam: But there’s a bunch of them out there.
[0:06:47 – 0:06:49] Adam: I think it’s going to be a good season for grouse.
[0:06:49 – 0:06:54] Adam: There’s a secondary tumble home outdoor fact of the day for you.
[0:06:55 – 0:06:56] Erik: Not from Ron Schera.
[0:06:56 – 0:06:59] Adam: Yeah, Ron didn’t have anything to say about that.
[0:06:59 – 0:07:06] Erik: Both of those notes just seem like personal notes to remind himself that got added to his calendar.
[0:07:06 – 0:07:11] Adam: Notice at the end of the year in the calendar, there’s less and less facts and more and more just like to-do lists.
[0:07:11 – 0:07:12] Adam: Yeah.
[0:07:13 – 0:07:14] Adam: Make sure you call your mother today.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:33] Adam: to share a triple outdoor calendar fact of the day coming to you live from the tumble shed of course this episode is also sponsored by what happened to the top piece there we delved deep into the into the end of the fridge and this week’s
[0:07:34 – 0:07:55] Adam: art show art show sponsors art show are you okay are you having uh anyways the uh it’s all these lights in here it’s too distracting gordy turn off these lights uh this week’s uh show beer sponsor of the week is brought to you by ryan and tanner i still haven’t said it right i don’t even know what’s going on right now
[0:07:56 – 0:07:57] Erik: I mean, you’ve got the gist of it.
[0:07:57 – 0:08:00] Erik: I think most people kind of know what to expect at this point.
[0:08:00 – 0:08:01] Erik: The beer of the week.
[0:08:01 – 0:08:02] Adam: I don’t think that’s what we call it.
[0:08:02 – 0:08:03] Erik: The beer of the week.
[0:08:04 – 0:08:06] Erik: We’ve been calling it that for years.
[0:08:07 – 0:08:09] Adam: Ryan and Tanner, welcome to the show.
[0:08:09 – 0:08:10] Adam: Thank you.
[0:08:10 – 0:08:13] Adam: We’ve got a real interesting looking can going here.
[0:08:14 – 0:08:17] Erik: I surmise that it was Nick Cage on the front here.
[0:08:17 – 0:08:20] Erik: This is stacked deck brewing.
[0:08:20 – 0:08:22] Erik: I think it’s Artie Lang, a young Artie Lang.
[0:08:23 – 0:08:27] Erik: Yeah, a very thin Artie Lang.
[0:08:28 – 0:08:29] Erik: Interdimensional?
[0:08:30 – 0:08:30] Erik: Is that what it says?
[0:08:31 – 0:08:33] Erik: Interdimensional.
[0:08:33 – 0:08:34] Erik: That’s a funky font.
[0:08:35 – 0:08:35] Adam: Yeah.
[0:08:36 – 0:08:38] Erik: Interdimensional awareness, double IPA.
[0:08:38 – 0:08:40] Adam: I think that’s a squeevel Helvetica.
[0:08:41 – 0:08:42] Erik: Oh, my.
[0:08:42 – 0:08:45] Erik: I mean, if I know anybody that knows their fonts, it’s you.
[0:08:46 – 0:08:47] Adam: Nice kerning.
[0:08:49 – 0:08:50] Adam: That’s a stereo.
[0:08:51 – 0:08:52] Adam: Cheers.
[0:08:52 – 0:08:52] Adam: Cheers.
[0:08:53 – 0:08:57] Adam: And so begins another episode of Tumble Home After Dark.
[0:09:00 – 0:09:01] Erik: You’re already christening in an After Dark episode, huh?
[0:09:01 – 0:09:08] Adam: It’s going to get to After Dark pretty quick here, and it’s a double IPA episode now, officially, so it’s going to be a special one.
[0:09:08 – 0:09:09] Erik: Ooh, 8.3%?
[0:09:09 – 0:09:11] Erik: Yeah, I give this… You’re going to want to hang on to your butts.
[0:09:12 – 0:09:15] Erik: I give this 7 out of 10 potentials.
[0:09:16 – 0:09:17] Adam: 7 out of 10.
[0:09:19 – 0:09:19] Adam: Stack deck.
[0:09:20 – 0:09:21] Adam: Look at that.
[0:09:21 – 0:09:25] Erik: Potentials for another Dragon’s Milk scenario.
[0:09:26 – 0:09:27] Adam: Yeah, we got…
[0:09:27 – 0:09:29] Adam: There’s a lot of good stuff going on in here.
[0:09:29 – 0:09:31] Adam: Energy Fields, Minnesota.
[0:09:32 – 0:09:33] Adam: We got a Pyramid.
[0:09:35 – 0:09:37] Adam: A Freaky Gray.
[0:09:38 – 0:09:40] Adam: A couple Freaky Grays on the back here.
[0:09:40 – 0:09:44] Erik: Did we confirm where this is from?
[0:09:46 – 0:09:47] Adam: St. Paul, Minnesota.
[0:09:48 – 0:09:48] Erik: Wow.
[0:09:49 – 0:09:49] Adam: There you go.
[0:09:50 – 0:09:53] Erik: Just when you thought there couldn’t be another brewery in the Twin Cities…
[0:09:55 – 0:09:58] Adam: Go and redeem yourself.
[0:09:58 – 0:10:00] Erik: Yeah, and stay tuned, Hopalicious.
[0:10:01 – 0:10:06] Erik: Thinking there’s probably going to be another sponsor because we got beers coming out of our butts.
[0:10:07 – 0:10:11] Adam: A lot of fine folks stopping by the co-op, and we thank you very much.
[0:10:12 – 0:10:15] Adam: For those, but we’re getting a little overwhelmed here.
[0:10:16 – 0:10:20] Adam: I think we’ve got to up the pace, maybe do an episode every other day or something for a while.
[0:10:22 – 0:10:26] Adam: It’s spring training here on Tumble Home after dark.
[0:10:26 – 0:10:27] Erik: Yeah.
[0:10:27 – 0:10:28] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:10:29 – 0:10:36] Erik: We’ll just sprinkle some into my elocutions from the field that I’m still working on.
[0:10:36 – 0:10:42] Erik: It’s either going to never come out or it’s going to come out in a large three-hour block of just take it or leave it.
[0:10:43 – 0:10:46] Adam: I, like Norm MacDonald in Dirty Work, need to get my own field mic.
[0:10:48 – 0:10:48] Adam: Note to self.
[0:10:49 – 0:10:50] Adam: Note to self.
[0:10:50 – 0:10:55] Erik: That is an interesting transition of like… Because he starts by just taking handwritten notes.
[0:10:55 – 0:10:56] Erik: Yeah.
[0:10:57 – 0:10:58] Erik: I think that’s…
[0:11:00 – 0:11:21] Adam: and you can do eric’s allocutions and i can do adam’s affirmations yeah each of our own field mic well that’d be very good because i feel like yours would be much more positive than my allocutions are i don’t know i don’t know depends on the day are you aware of the the upcoming geomagnetic reversal eric
[0:11:23 – 0:11:24] Erik: I believe so.
[0:11:24 – 0:11:33] Erik: Is this the potential where we’re going to find out if we get a huge solar maximum potential or just a normal solar cycle?
[0:11:33 – 0:11:35] Erik: I thought we talked about this already.
[0:11:35 – 0:11:39] Adam: No, I mean, I think it is going to affect the northern lights.
[0:11:39 – 0:11:40] Adam: In a good way?
[0:11:40 – 0:11:41] Adam: Yeah, probably.
[0:11:41 – 0:11:42] Adam: I would assume so.
[0:11:43 – 0:11:48] Adam: So, like, I don’t know how I first stumbled onto this.
[0:11:48 – 0:11:49] Adam: I was reading about it quite a while ago.
[0:11:49 – 0:11:53] Adam: But every year, like, okay, let’s start at the beginning.
[0:11:53 – 0:11:55] Erik: I cannot handle starting at the beginning.
[0:11:56 – 0:12:00] Adam: So, a fish crawls out of the ocean and grows arms and legs.
[0:12:00 – 0:12:00] Erik: There it is.
[0:12:00 – 0:12:01] Adam: There you go.
[0:12:02 – 0:12:07] Adam: So, the middle of the earth, it’s liquid iron, like molten rock, right?
[0:12:07 – 0:12:11] Adam: It’s spinning on the inside of this planet we’re living on, apparently.
[0:12:11 – 0:12:11] Adam: Yeah.
[0:12:11 – 0:12:13] Erik: I guess I’ll have to go ahead and believe you up to this point.
[0:12:14 – 0:12:16] Adam: Metal’s spinning like a top of there.
[0:12:16 – 0:12:17] Adam: Freaky.
[0:12:17 – 0:12:17] Adam: Okay.
[0:12:17 – 0:12:20] Adam: Anyways, that’s why we got the electrical, you know, our magnetic field.
[0:12:21 – 0:12:30] Adam: This is what causes the Vinleys anyways, because it’s like the only thing repelling the solar radiation from frying us to bits of old toast and…
[0:12:31 – 0:12:32] Adam: Anyways, you got this top on the inside.
[0:12:32 – 0:12:33] Adam: It’s like Inception.
[0:12:33 – 0:12:34] Adam: You’re spinning the top.
[0:12:35 – 0:12:39] Adam: It moves around a little bit in there, but it always stays upright because there’s nowhere to fall.
[0:12:39 – 0:12:41] Adam: You’re in the vacuum of space.
[0:12:42 – 0:12:45] Erik: I thought this had something more to do with what was happening on the sun.
[0:12:46 – 0:12:52] Adam: No, this is what’s happening here, but it does affect the way that our planet interacts with the sun, of course.
[0:12:52 – 0:13:01] Erik: Isn’t there kind of a doomsday theory or the possibility that the polarity on planet Earth could reverse at some point?
[0:13:01 – 0:13:03] Adam: Right, that’s where this is going to, yeah.
[0:13:03 – 0:13:05] Adam: But it’s not because of the sun.
[0:13:06 – 0:13:06] Adam: No.
[0:13:06 – 0:13:13] Adam: I mean, I guess it is because of our proximity to the sun, we are allowed to have a liquid core of molten rock.
[0:13:13 – 0:13:14] Erik: It’s not self-sustaining?
[0:13:14 – 0:13:14] Erik: No.
[0:13:16 – 0:13:21] Adam: Well, it is, but, I mean, if we were farther out in space, then it would eventually, like— It would be cooling a lot faster.
[0:13:21 – 0:13:23] Adam: Yeah, it would just—it would be all firmed up.
[0:13:24 – 0:13:27] Adam: All firmed up.
[0:13:27 – 0:13:29] Adam: Yeah, all rocky again, not liquid.
[0:13:30 – 0:13:32] Adam: Anyways, they’re spinning in there, and they’re moving around.
[0:13:32 – 0:13:36] Adam: So, like, the actual North Pole, like, moves on average, like, a mile or two a year.
[0:13:37 – 0:13:38] Adam: Like, it kind of dots around.
[0:13:39 – 0:13:40] Adam: It’s wobbling around up there.
[0:13:41 – 0:13:51] Adam: But yeah, there are definite documented cases of north and south flipping, reverse polarity of that occurring.
[0:13:52 – 0:13:56] Adam: I don’t have the exact number in front of you, but it’s a lot.
[0:13:56 – 0:14:00] Adam: It happens a lot over the course of the last billion or trillion years.
[0:14:00 – 0:14:04] Erik: Well, I think if you are measuring things on billions or trillions of years.
[0:14:04 – 0:14:06] Adam: Yeah, we’re talking about galactic scales of time.
[0:14:06 – 0:14:06] Adam: Probably.
[0:14:06 – 0:14:07] Erik: Probably happens a lot.
[0:14:07 – 0:14:09] Adam: It happens a lot more than you would think.
[0:14:09 – 0:14:14] Adam: But for the last 780,000 years, it’s been north is north and south is south.
[0:14:15 – 0:14:15] Adam: Oh, we’re switching.
[0:14:15 – 0:14:20] Adam: Regular polarity has been the case for the last 780,000 years on this planet.
[0:14:21 – 0:14:22] Adam: But it does flip back and forth.
[0:14:23 – 0:14:25] Erik: So we’re going to be in the southern hemisphere then?
[0:14:26 – 0:14:34] Adam: Yeah, well, I mean, I think we’d still call it north and south would be still south, but we’d just switch the way we use our compasses.
[0:14:37 – 0:14:40] Adam: Yeah, your compass is going to spin the backwards now, Eric.
[0:14:40 – 0:14:41] Adam: That’s what’s going to happen.
[0:14:41 – 0:14:43] Erik: Well, it’s a good thing I don’t use a compass.
[0:14:44 – 0:15:05] Adam: yeah just go with dead reckoning yeah the moss still points north as we have always known it yeah i think but what if the stars don’t flip i think i’ll be all right but there could be some like issues with as it flips like it could open up you know more solar wind allowing it through uh which could like you know fry us to bits of crouton
[0:15:06 – 0:15:07] Erik: Now we’re bits of crouton.
[0:15:07 – 0:15:08] Erik: It’s getting worse and worse.
[0:15:09 – 0:15:12] Erik: Just like overcooked jerky.
[0:15:13 – 0:15:14] Erik: It’s too tough.
[0:15:15 – 0:15:15] Adam: Yeah.
[0:15:15 – 0:15:24] Adam: So anyways, normally the North Pole, the geomagnetic North, not the, you know what I’m saying, on the map.
[0:15:24 – 0:15:26] Adam: Not the one where the compass actually points.
[0:15:26 – 0:15:29] Adam: That one moves around normally anyways, and that’s always been the case.
[0:15:30 – 0:15:34] Adam: But in like the last couple of years, it’s moving like 30 miles a year all of a sudden.
[0:15:34 – 0:15:34] Erik: Uh-oh.
[0:15:35 – 0:15:35] Adam: And so.
[0:15:36 – 0:15:37] Adam: And it’s been a long time.
[0:15:38 – 0:15:41] Adam: Check out this graph.
[0:15:41 – 0:15:44] Adam: Check out the Wikipedia on geomagnetic reversal.
[0:15:44 – 0:15:45] Adam: It’s really interesting.
[0:15:45 – 0:15:51] Adam: And my favorite part about this is that you know like how an eon is like insane amounts of time.
[0:15:51 – 0:15:55] Adam: Is an eon an actual measurement of time?
[0:15:55 – 0:15:56] Adam: Eon is the biggest, yeah.
[0:15:57 – 0:15:58] Erik: And it is what?
[0:15:58 – 0:15:58] Erik: A million years?
[0:15:59 – 0:16:00] Adam: No, it’s way more than that.
[0:16:00 – 0:16:07] Erik: I love that the way that you flashed that graph to me was about as quick as somebody flashes somebody trying to impersonate a police officer.
[0:16:08 – 0:16:09] Adam: Get out of the car, sir.
[0:16:10 – 0:16:11] Adam: Give me your microphone.
[0:16:12 – 0:16:15] Adam: So I didn’t know this, but then you go on down.
[0:16:16 – 0:16:19] Adam: There’s a couple different ones between Eon and Age.
[0:16:19 – 0:16:22] Adam: We’re not going to go into all the different galactic time scales.
[0:16:22 – 0:16:23] Erik: Well, that’s for part three.
[0:16:24 – 0:16:27] Adam: Right, so age is still a long time, like a million years.
[0:16:27 – 0:16:32] Adam: And then under age, though, do you know the time frame under age?
[0:16:33 – 0:16:34] Erik: An ultron?
[0:16:34 – 0:16:36] Adam: No, it’s a cron.
[0:16:36 – 0:16:37] Adam: Just a cron.
[0:16:37 – 0:16:39] Adam: But, yeah, and then there’s also subcrons.
[0:16:40 – 0:16:40] Erik: Ooh.
[0:16:40 – 0:16:43] Adam: In which this is how you start to measure this kind of stuff.
[0:16:43 – 0:16:47] Adam: So, yeah, like you got the Cobb Mountain subcron, the Yarameo.
[0:16:47 – 0:16:52] Adam: And then the crons, though, the last one that we went through, which reversed the polarity…
[0:16:53 – 0:16:57] Adam: was from the Matayama into the Brunei’s Kron.
[0:16:58 – 0:17:00] Adam: We are currently in the Brunei’s Kron, by the way.
[0:17:00 – 0:17:05] Adam: So if anybody out there is listening and is wondering what the hell are they talking about, it’s just that.
[0:17:06 – 0:17:09] Adam: So if anybody ever asks you what Kron you’re in, now you know.
[0:17:10 – 0:17:11] Adam: This is why you listen to Tumble Home.
[0:17:11 – 0:17:13] Adam: It’s not for the paddling knowledge.
[0:17:14 – 0:17:15] Adam: It’s for the Kron knowledge.
[0:17:15 – 0:17:16] Adam: Kron knowledge.
[0:17:17 – 0:17:19] Erik: Is that C-H-R-O-N?
[0:17:20 – 0:17:20] Adam: You got it.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:21] Adam: Nailed it.
[0:17:21 – 0:17:23] Erik: So is that where chronology comes from?
[0:17:23 – 0:17:24] Adam: I assume so.
[0:17:24 – 0:17:25] Adam: I never heard this, though.
[0:17:25 – 0:17:27] Adam: I was pretty excited to learn about this chroning.
[0:17:28 – 0:17:29] Erik: This chroning.
[0:17:29 – 0:17:33] Erik: What is the rough, like, how long is a chron then?
[0:17:35 – 0:17:36] Erik: Is it just under?
[0:17:38 – 0:17:44] Adam: Yeah, it’s anything under a million years that is defined by a magnetic reversal or change in polarity.
[0:17:44 – 0:17:45] Adam: Okay.
[0:17:45 – 0:17:46] Erik: So not a specific amount of time.
[0:17:47 – 0:17:47] Adam: Yeah.
[0:17:47 – 0:17:48] Adam: Necessarily.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:48] Adam: Right.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:49] Adam: Each chron is different.
[0:17:50 – 0:18:11] Adam: then i learned today after i was reading about this last night then this morning i was reading and there can be super crons because i was looking at the last five million years only and this is the currently the longest cron in the last five million years we’re in right now yeah and so it’s like we’re due and the thing’s moving 30 miles a year like clearly it’s about to flip
[0:18:12 – 0:18:13] Adam: But also, here’s the thing.
[0:18:13 – 0:18:20] Adam: There are a very wide range of interpretations as to how long it might take to flip the polarity.
[0:18:21 – 0:18:24] Adam: It might take a couple years, according to some people.
[0:18:24 – 0:18:27] Adam: It might take a thousand years, according to others.
[0:18:27 – 0:18:32] Adam: So this is not going to be something that we’re going to wake up tomorrow and north is south.
[0:18:32 – 0:18:34] Erik: And our crons are all upside down.
[0:18:34 – 0:18:35] Adam: All our crons are all messed up.
[0:18:35 – 0:18:38] Adam: North to south, our croutons are burnt to a crisp.
[0:18:39 – 0:18:48] Erik: So realistically and just on a day-to-day basis, how would my life be any different if the polarity reversed?
[0:18:49 – 0:18:54] Adam: Literally nothing other than your compasses would be wrong, which you don’t own any.
[0:18:54 – 0:18:56] Adam: And possibly all the satellites could get fried.
[0:18:58 – 0:19:25] Erik: well that would be and all the circuitry on the planet earth so i mean no computers wait wait wait once again the podcast never you there could be no podcasts at all not just our podcast but all from barely noticeable to not being able to exist as we currently do as humans you could still grouse on yeah i guess patch your hip boots you don’t just gonna be fine yeah you don’t need to know what what uh which direction is north to shoot a bird
[0:19:27 – 0:19:29] Erik: Not all the satellites might fall out of the sky.
[0:19:29 – 0:19:30] Adam: Probably not, though.
[0:19:30 – 0:19:30] Erik: Yeah.
[0:19:31 – 0:19:37] Adam: I mean, you know, life as we know it has survived the last sub-cron.
[0:19:38 – 0:19:40] Adam: So we’ll probably be all right.
[0:19:40 – 0:19:44] Erik: And if we’ve said it before, we’ve said it a thousand times, all crons matter.
[0:19:44 – 0:19:44] Erik: So…
[0:19:45 – 0:19:49] Adam: But then I was looking back, though, because I was like, that’s crazy.
[0:19:49 – 0:19:49] Adam: We’re due.
[0:19:49 – 0:19:51] Adam: We’re due for a flip.
[0:19:52 – 0:19:59] Adam: But then I was like, I found a… Because this is just the basic graphic you can find on geomagnetic reversal.
[0:19:59 – 0:20:01] Adam: If you keep going back, though, because it’s in the rocks.
[0:20:02 – 0:20:04] Adam: So the way they measure this is interesting, too.
[0:20:04 – 0:20:06] Adam: This isn’t a book report.
[0:20:06 – 0:20:08] Adam: This is more of a Wikipedia rehash.
[0:20:09 – 0:20:14] Adam: They measure it by when the lavas come out of the middle of the earth and it ooze out and then they harden up.
[0:20:15 – 0:20:21] Adam: You can tell both how old the rock is and what is its polarity when it was hardened.
[0:20:22 – 0:20:27] Adam: So they have a very detailed record going back many, many crons.
[0:20:28 – 0:20:37] Erik: There was just that one in Iceland that was relatively recent that was one of the most accessible and active volcanic eruptions in history.
[0:20:38 – 0:20:51] Erik: And I was reading about that, that essentially these volcanologists were like, we’re never going to get to experience an eruption on this magnitude in terms of accessibility ever again in our lifetimes.
[0:20:51 – 0:20:55] Erik: You could just walk up on one day and be like, hmm, there’s…
[0:20:56 – 0:20:57] Erik: There it is.
[0:20:57 – 0:21:00] Erik: And then the next day it’s just like blocks off the path.
[0:21:00 – 0:21:04] Erik: And then a week from today, it’s entirely different.
[0:21:04 – 0:21:08] Erik: And just the way that the place it was erupting on was so stable and accessible.
[0:21:08 – 0:21:12] Erik: It was still like in a brutal, like relative wilderness in Iceland.
[0:21:13 – 0:21:22] Erik: But for the most part, these kinds of events are occurring literally in the middle of an ocean or like thousands of miles away from the closest road.
[0:21:22 – 0:21:25] Adam: So all these subcrans are named for lava flows, basically.
[0:21:27 – 0:21:36] Erik: I’m not going to try to pronounce the one that is and was spewing in Iceland within the last year, but…
[0:21:38 – 0:21:39] Adam: It was probably the sijouful.
[0:21:41 – 0:21:42] Adam: I doubt it.
[0:21:42 – 0:21:43] Adam: That was 4.8 crowns ago.
[0:21:44 – 0:21:44] UNKNOWN: Oh, wow.
[0:21:45 – 0:21:47] Erik: See, you fooled me there.
[0:21:47 – 0:21:47] Adam: Here’s the longer one.
[0:21:47 – 0:21:49] Adam: I got the zoomed out view for you there.
[0:21:50 – 0:21:53] Adam: So like this is old and then top is the current time.
[0:21:53 – 0:21:58] Adam: So you can see like we’re in a pretty long crown right now compared to the last 5 million.
[0:21:58 – 0:21:59] Adam: The Bruins crown?
[0:21:59 – 0:22:00] Adam: Yeah, we’re in the Bruins.
[0:22:01 – 0:22:02] Adam: So everybody should know.
[0:22:02 – 0:22:06] Adam: Anyways, but I was like, wow, we really are overdue for one.
[0:22:06 – 0:22:10] Adam: But then you can look back way farther than this graphic.
[0:22:10 – 0:22:10] Erik: Yeah.
[0:22:10 – 0:22:13] Adam: And actually, this is not that unusual, really.
[0:22:14 – 0:22:15] Adam: This could go on much longer.
[0:22:15 – 0:22:21] Adam: And honestly, there’s been crons that cover much more than what we’re looking at here in these five ages.
[0:22:21 – 0:22:24] Erik: And those are provable because of old lava flows?
[0:22:24 – 0:22:26] Adam: Yeah, the old lava flows.
[0:22:26 – 0:22:50] Adam: rock records the same way that they pull up you know ice cores yeah it’s like that okay yeah uh so they have a pretty detailed record of these but like yeah you can go back and then i found out this morning that they actually have super crons that can last like way longer than a normal cron where there’s no flipping of polarity and that this uh simple movement of the north pole probably means nothing at all
[0:22:50 – 0:22:59] Adam: But I still was thinking about it in a way that, like, it just seems like half our world is going crazy or actually having, like, some sort of, like, psychological, like, break.
[0:23:00 – 0:23:03] Adam: And I’m trying to, like, figure out ways of, like, why is that?
[0:23:03 – 0:23:13] Adam: And maybe it’s because we’re about to flip the polarity, but I also kind of don’t really buy into the, like, vibrations of the Earth ideas that, like…
[0:23:14 – 0:23:16] Adam: Ooh, there’s good vibrations coming.
[0:23:18 – 0:23:20] Adam: Or maybe bad vibrations, Eric.
[0:23:21 – 0:23:22] Adam: I’m not sure, though.
[0:23:22 – 0:23:25] Adam: I think more and more I do believe in the vibrations.
[0:23:26 – 0:23:29] Adam: Could be affecting everybody on Earth, but maybe this is why.
[0:23:30 – 0:23:33] Adam: But also probably the real answer is the Internet.
[0:23:35 – 0:23:43] Adam: Way bigger of an impact on society than the North Pole technically moving 30 miles towards Siberia.
[0:23:43 – 0:23:45] Erik: I mean, you never know.
[0:23:45 – 0:23:47] Adam: But it was interesting anyways.
[0:23:47 – 0:23:52] Adam: If anybody’s got a spare 15 minutes, it’s worth a visit to that Wikipedia page.
[0:23:53 – 0:23:55] Adam: And make sure to support your friends at Wikipedia.
[0:23:58 – 0:24:00] Adam: They’re a proud independent online encyclopedia.
[0:24:00 – 0:24:01] Erik: Have you heard of this?
[0:24:01 – 0:24:03] Erik: Friend of the show, Wikipedia.
[0:24:04 – 0:24:08] Adam: That’s two boxes of Franzia for Wikipedia this week.
[0:24:09 – 0:24:13] Adam: Anyways, I thought it was interesting, and I just wanted to talk about it with you a little bit.
[0:24:13 – 0:24:14] Erik: No, that was very interesting.
[0:24:15 – 0:24:17] Erik: I learned, I think.
[0:24:18 – 0:24:21] Erik: I learned currently I feel like I have learned.
[0:24:21 – 0:24:24] Adam: Do you think we’re in a dark cron or a light cron, though?
[0:24:24 – 0:24:28] Adam: Because on the map it shows it as a dark cron, and I do believe that.
[0:24:29 – 0:24:32] Erik: Is it just to show it as being opposite?
[0:24:32 – 0:24:33] Adam: It has nothing to do with…
[0:24:33 – 0:24:36] Adam: Right, they could have arbitrarily switched those.
[0:24:37 – 0:24:38] Adam: Switched them?
[0:24:38 – 0:24:42] Adam: It could have been blue or red or orange or yellow, but just to show that there’s a difference.
[0:24:42 – 0:24:45] Adam: Or this could be a white cron and that could be a light cron, if you will.
[0:24:46 – 0:24:48] Adam: I don’t know why they picked it that way, but
[0:24:48 – 0:24:53] Erik: Well, it would be pretty nice if it was currently the dark cron and we’re moving into a lighter one.
[0:24:53 – 0:24:57] Adam: I like that they just assume that this is a regular polarity, what we’re in.
[0:24:58 – 0:24:59] Adam: That’s such a human thing to do.
[0:25:00 – 0:25:00] Erik: Yeah, no, it’s…
[0:25:01 – 0:25:02] Adam: This is the normal polarity.
[0:25:02 – 0:25:03] Adam: This is normal.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:08] Adam: Those tree-dwelling, day-eaten monkey freaks were living in the dark ages.
[0:25:08 – 0:25:10] Erik: They didn’t even know what salt was.
[0:25:12 – 0:25:41] Adam: fools all right well yes very interesting i’m gonna give this uh i’m gonna give this interdimensional awareness double ipa five out of five crons well perfect uh beer for the subject matter of the first 20 minutes of this and look at these lights amazing lights in here i mean it feels like i’m in a planetarium gordy’s elevating his consciousness right now you can tell he’s yeah his brain is glowing beneath his small sombrero
[0:25:44 – 0:25:46] Erik: What else do you want to talk about before we get to comments?
[0:25:46 – 0:25:48] Erik: Do you have any BWCA things?
[0:25:49 – 0:25:50] Erik: We kind of skipped it last week.
[0:25:50 – 0:25:53] Erik: Do we even want to do the Sewery River people?
[0:25:53 – 0:25:55] Adam: No, I don’t want to talk about it.
[0:25:55 – 0:25:55] Adam: I don’t either.
[0:25:56 – 0:25:58] Erik: You all know what the story on them is.
[0:25:58 – 0:26:01] Erik: It’s on the Tumble Homecast, on the subreddit.
[0:26:04 – 0:26:04] Erik: Moving on.
[0:26:04 – 0:26:08] Adam: We did find the list of Tumble Home Cinema Classics ideas.
[0:26:08 – 0:26:11] Adam: I don’t know if we already mentioned this, but we have it.
[0:26:11 – 0:26:17] Adam: So, yeah, we’re adding and then crossing off Dirty Work Tonight.
[0:26:18 – 0:26:18] Adam: I like that one.
[0:26:18 – 0:26:20] Adam: We have an entire list of movies.
[0:26:20 – 0:26:24] Adam: You’ve got to play the world as it comes to you, though.
[0:26:25 – 0:26:28] Adam: As the molten lava wobbles.
[0:26:29 – 0:26:30] Erik: Molten lava wobbles.
[0:26:30 – 0:26:32] Erik: As the molten lava wobbles.
[0:26:33 – 0:26:33] Erik: Pew, pew, pew.
[0:26:35 – 0:26:39] Adam: Anyways, I’m not sure what I’m going to pick now because I can’t pick Phantom Thread.
[0:26:39 – 0:26:41] Adam: Well, I could, but I’m probably not going to do it.
[0:26:41 – 0:26:49] Adam: I’m leaning towards Beauty and the Beast, but I’m not going to make any promises because we’re just going to come to that one in a couple weeks.
[0:26:49 – 0:26:53] Adam: But I just wanted to rest assured, listeners, we did find the list.
[0:26:53 – 0:26:54] Adam: Let’s make promises.
[0:26:54 – 0:27:00] Adam: We’re going to transfer it to the new whiteboards, and we’re going to make sure we get to all these movies on the list.
[0:27:00 – 0:27:04] Adam: But again, if you have any requests or suggestions…
[0:27:04 – 0:27:08] Adam: Hit me up on the DMs, tumblehomecast at Instagram.
[0:27:09 – 0:27:13] Adam: It’s a picture app, and you can also DM me there.
[0:27:13 – 0:27:18] Erik: We’re going to have so many whiteboards in here, it’s going to look like those horse racing betting scenes from The Sting.
[0:27:20 – 0:27:26] Erik: Layers folding and rolling over other layers, and nobody’s going to know what any of it means except us.
[0:27:27 – 0:27:35] Erik: Currently, the whiteboards are in transit, but we have received some fun lights, which are adding to the coziness here.
[0:27:35 – 0:27:36] Adam: It’s amazing.
[0:27:36 – 0:27:37] Adam: I can’t even describe it.
[0:27:39 – 0:27:42] Erik: I’m sure the listeners can hear the excitement in our voices.
[0:27:44 – 0:27:46] Erik: Other BWCA news.
[0:27:46 – 0:27:48] Erik: This is just down across the wire.
[0:27:52 – 0:27:54] Adam: Kevin Spacey’s on a train.
[0:27:54 – 0:27:57] Erik: Why’d you have to bring him up?
[0:27:57 – 0:27:58] Erik: He is on a train.
[0:27:59 – 0:28:02] Adam: This just in, Iron Will is in the lead.
[0:28:02 – 0:28:06] Adam: There’s a Tumble Home Cinema Classics throwback for you.
[0:28:06 – 0:28:11] Erik: Yeah, I’ll throw in a quote from an Iron Will TCC and right now.
[0:28:12 – 0:28:15] Adam: We should do like a facsimile sound effect.
[0:28:16 – 0:28:17] Erik: No, that’s a bad noise.
[0:28:19 – 0:28:21] Adam: They need to make the fax machine sound nicer.
[0:28:22 – 0:28:22] Adam: Yeah.
[0:28:22 – 0:28:26] Adam: I can’t wait to tell people in 20 years what the internet and faxes used to sound like.
[0:28:26 – 0:28:27] Adam: They’re going to think we’re crazy.
[0:28:28 – 0:28:30] Erik: 20 years?
[0:28:30 – 0:28:37] Erik: I’m doing it while I was currently doing this at Clearwater with staff.
[0:28:37 – 0:28:38] Erik: They were like, wait, what?
[0:28:39 – 0:28:39] Adam: Yeah.
[0:28:39 – 0:28:44] Erik: The internet used to come to you in the mail in the form of a CD from AOL?
[0:28:44 – 0:28:47] Erik: Here’s 20 minutes of the internet, my good man.
[0:28:47 – 0:28:48] Erik: Cash that in.
[0:28:48 – 0:28:48] Erik: Yeah.
[0:28:49 – 0:29:00] Adam: Yeah, you know, I like to think about that when I think about, like, crypto now because, you know, and just, like, the idea even 10 years ago people thought smartphones were dumb.
[0:29:00 – 0:29:02] Adam: Like, things change so fast now.
[0:29:03 – 0:29:07] Adam: The molten lava inside this rock wobbles so quickly.
[0:29:08 – 0:29:13] Adam: It’s amazing sometimes, like, what can happen and, like, how your perspective can change so quickly now.
[0:29:14 – 0:29:17] Adam: Especially when we were just earlier talking about galactic scales of time.
[0:29:18 – 0:29:18] Erik: Yeah.
[0:29:18 – 0:29:21] Adam: What can happen in a decade, too, is also quite amazing.
[0:29:21 – 0:29:23] Adam: But, yeah, the internet used to make noise.
[0:29:23 – 0:29:32] Adam: For anybody out there that didn’t know this, I’m not going to try and make the noise, but it used to, like, your computer physically made this weird noise when it would get hooked into the cables.
[0:29:33 – 0:29:33] Adam: What came first?
[0:29:34 – 0:29:36] Erik: The internet noise?
[0:29:37 – 0:29:38] Erik: Yeah.
[0:29:38 – 0:29:40] Erik: Or the obnoxious car alarm?
[0:29:41 – 0:29:43] Erik: Because they seem kind of close.
[0:29:44 – 0:29:46] Erik: And was that a choice to give the internet that noise?
[0:29:50 – 0:29:51] Adam: Oh, I don’t think so.
[0:29:52 – 0:29:54] Adam: I think it was just like an effect of the hardware they’re using.
[0:29:54 – 0:29:57] Erik: Because that’s the same thing I’ve been asking myself with these.
[0:29:57 – 0:29:58] Erik: Have you seen this?
[0:29:58 – 0:29:58] Erik: You heard about this?
[0:29:59 – 0:30:07] Erik: These electronic battery operated vehicles that whenever they back up or move at an idle speed, it is the distant choir.
[0:30:09 – 0:30:10] Erik: Is that what it is?
[0:30:11 – 0:30:15] Erik: I think it’s a choice so that people don’t get run over by absolutely silent cars.
[0:30:16 – 0:30:18] Erik: They’ve added that noise in.
[0:30:18 – 0:30:19] Erik: Because it doesn’t…
[0:30:19 – 0:30:21] Erik: It’s not always making that noise.
[0:30:21 – 0:30:23] Erik: I think it’s added.
[0:30:24 – 0:30:24] Adam: Yeah.
[0:30:24 – 0:30:32] Erik: Tumblehomecasts at gmail.com are the distant choral noises of an electric vehicle backing up just to protect pedestrians?
[0:30:32 – 0:30:33] Erik: It is.
[0:30:33 – 0:30:35] Adam: Yeah, the batteries aren’t making noises.
[0:30:35 – 0:30:35] Adam: No, right.
[0:30:36 – 0:30:38] Adam: The wheel bearings are not making that noise.
[0:30:38 – 0:30:41] Erik: It’s to make sure you don’t get run over by a… Yeah, and they don’t want to be like…
[0:30:41 – 0:30:44] Erik: It’s to make sure you don’t get Dwight shrooted into a shrub.
[0:30:46 – 0:30:50] Erik: Yeah, the Prius is absolutely quiet at an idle.
[0:30:51 – 0:30:52] Adam: Yeah, no, I think you’re right.
[0:30:53 – 0:30:55] Adam: I’m going to fact check that on the fly.
[0:30:55 – 0:30:55] Erik: Correct.
[0:30:55 – 0:30:56] Erik: Okay.
[0:30:56 – 0:30:57] Adam: Love it.
[0:30:59 – 0:31:06] Erik: Yeah, so the fire ban in the Bongewaters is lifted, has been lifted today, just within the last five hours.
[0:31:06 – 0:31:07] Erik: All is back to normal.
[0:31:07 – 0:31:08] Erik: Huzzah, huzzah.
[0:31:09 – 0:31:12] Erik: I think there might be still maybe the end of the Gunflint Trail.
[0:31:13 – 0:31:23] Erik: Entry points might still be kind of closed because of John Eck, Lindman, Larson, whatever the heck that fire was.
[0:31:23 – 0:31:24] Adam: It was John Eck.
[0:31:24 – 0:31:26] Adam: It was John Eck, not John Elk.
[0:31:27 – 0:31:53] Erik: oliver eckman larson yeah uh but yeah basically worth an ad the john eckfire is definitely worth an ad on the waiver wire for sure yeah i did not i chose not to renew the uh fantasy hockey league good yeah i’m done i didn’t see hockey’s too much work didn’t really think that there was too many people interested in that sorry did four years of that yeah no i can’t handle another it was fine it was whatever
[0:31:54 – 0:31:59] Adam: Anyways, tune in next week free on the Patreon for my fantasy football rankings.
[0:31:59 – 0:32:00] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:32:00 – 0:32:00] Adam: Yeah.
[0:32:00 – 0:32:04] Adam: I’m going to give out lots of advice, like draft Aaron Rodgers.
[0:32:05 – 0:32:09] Adam: He’s the bee’s knees, especially if he’s playing in Florida.
[0:32:09 – 0:32:11] Adam: Dude, definitely good for 1.3 points a week.
[0:32:11 – 0:32:12] Adam: No problem.
[0:32:12 – 0:32:15] Erik: Did you see the picture that was floating around on Reddit?
[0:32:15 – 0:32:15] Erik: Yeah.
[0:32:15 – 0:32:17] Erik: This guy looks like he steals catalytic converters.
[0:32:17 – 0:32:18] Erik: Steals catalytic converters.
[0:32:20 – 0:32:44] Erik: he totally did yeah he looks like steve buscemi in fargo yeah also that’s the same that well he also looks like uh he also looks like pancake man yes and he’s also with he’s also the guy in seinfeld and the frogger episode who uh slippery joe i think his name is he looks like slippery joe yeah and he’s like mac’s father from always sunny yeah
[0:32:45 – 0:32:48] Erik: Yeah, that was just like, man, oh, man.
[0:32:48 – 0:32:49] Adam: What happened in Jacksonville?
[0:32:49 – 0:32:50] Adam: What happened down there?
[0:32:50 – 0:32:50] Adam: We don’t want to know.
[0:32:52 – 0:32:53] Adam: Anyways, don’t draft Aaron Rodgers.
[0:32:54 – 0:32:56] Adam: Nobody’s drafting anymore, but too late.
[0:32:57 – 0:32:59] Adam: Your advice is good, but it’s always a week too late.
[0:32:59 – 0:33:00] Adam: Yeah, well.
[0:33:00 – 0:33:00] Adam: That’s how it works.
[0:33:02 – 0:33:03] Erik: Yeah, so fire ban lifted.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:09] Erik: The smell of burning birch, cedar, pine.
[0:33:09 – 0:33:12] Erik: This general burning wood is back in the air.
[0:33:12 – 0:33:13] Erik: It’s kind of crazy.
[0:33:14 – 0:33:18] Erik: I had a fire at my house outside just two nights ago.
[0:33:19 – 0:33:21] Erik: Yeah, you can do it.
[0:33:22 – 0:33:25] Erik: It doesn’t feel nearly as dangerous as it did.
[0:33:26 – 0:33:27] Adam: Well, there’s puddles everywhere now.
[0:33:27 – 0:33:28] Adam: It feels great.
[0:33:28 – 0:33:30] Erik: It rained all night last night.
[0:33:30 – 0:33:31] Adam: Yeah.
[0:33:31 – 0:33:35] Adam: When I was walking the dog this morning, I was like dodging earthworms in the road.
[0:33:35 – 0:33:36] Adam: Yeah.
[0:33:36 – 0:33:37] Adam: A fun feeling.
[0:33:38 – 0:33:40] Erik: It’s that funny feeling.
[0:33:43 – 0:33:43] Erik: Yeah.
[0:33:44 – 0:33:50] Erik: There’s literally like less than two weeks in the boundary water season where a permit is necessary.
[0:33:52 – 0:33:53] Adam: Then it’s a free-for-all after that.
[0:33:53 – 0:33:54] Adam: You can do whatever you want.
[0:33:54 – 0:33:55] Erik: Then it’s a free-for-all.
[0:33:55 – 0:33:57] Erik: You can camp wherever you want.
[0:33:57 – 0:33:59] Adam: Go out there and run around naked on Caribou West.
[0:33:59 – 0:34:02] Erik: We should just start spreading horrible misinformation after three years.
[0:34:02 – 0:34:04] Adam: Camp wherever you want.
[0:34:04 – 0:34:04] Adam: What are these guys?
[0:34:05 – 0:34:07] Erik: Jeez, they’ve taken a turn.
[0:34:07 – 0:34:09] Adam: I don’t like it.
[0:34:09 – 0:34:12] Adam: I did try and look up what the Chinese wah bikini was.
[0:34:13 – 0:34:13] Erik: Oh, you did?
[0:34:13 – 0:34:14] Erik: Yeah.
[0:34:14 – 0:34:17] Adam: I went down a rabbit hole and didn’t find anything.
[0:34:17 – 0:34:20] Adam: Apparently, there’s no such thing as the Chinese wah bikini.
[0:34:20 – 0:34:21] Adam: I still don’t believe it, though.
[0:34:21 – 0:34:22] Adam: I’m going to keep looking.
[0:34:23 – 0:34:23] Adam: Anybody out there?
[0:34:24 – 0:34:24] Adam: Anybody listening?
[0:34:26 – 0:34:27] Adam: Any fans of Tumble Home in China?
[0:34:27 – 0:34:29] Adam: Do you know what the Chinese wah bikini is?
[0:34:29 – 0:34:30] Adam: We need your help.
[0:34:31 – 0:34:33] Adam: Before we release these skunks into this opera house.
[0:34:36 – 0:34:37] Erik: Oh, my God.
[0:34:37 – 0:34:38] Erik: I was like, wait, what is that from?
[0:34:39 – 0:34:41] Erik: It’s like, oh, yeah, literally the movie I watched last night.
[0:34:42 – 0:34:45] Adam: Nobody is giving up any good information on the internet.
[0:34:46 – 0:34:48] Adam: I’m claiming the Chinese government’s censoring it.
[0:34:48 – 0:34:50] Adam: They don’t want us to know about their wabakimi, but I’m going to find out.
[0:34:51 – 0:34:51] Adam: God dang it.
[0:34:52 – 0:34:56] Adam: So anyways, let us know if you have any information on the Chinese wabakimi.
[0:34:56 – 0:34:56] Adam: Hit us up.
[0:34:57 – 0:35:00] Adam: Tomohomcast at gmail.com.
[0:35:00 – 0:35:02] Adam: That one’s for email for sure.
[0:35:02 – 0:35:17] Erik: Yeah, for whatever reason, where I was at in the moment of needing to post last week’s episode, I could not, which is pretty common for us, remember for the life of me what the title of that episode should have been.
[0:35:17 – 0:35:19] Adam: I thought it was spot on.
[0:35:19 – 0:35:22] Erik: Well, I know, but I think it ended up being all right.
[0:35:22 – 0:35:27] Erik: But I remember when we last week were recording, we were talking about how it should be the Chinese Waba Kimi.
[0:35:28 – 0:35:29] Erik: And now it’s all coming back to me.
[0:35:30 – 0:35:36] Erik: And I’m sure I’ll forget again before Sunday or whatever.
[0:35:36 – 0:35:38] Adam: I thought it was going to be Wendell Beckwith’s dream.
[0:35:40 – 0:35:41] Adam: Part one.
[0:35:41 – 0:35:43] Erik: And I don’t even remember what that was all about either.
[0:35:43 – 0:35:45] Adam: That’s also a Waba Kimi reference.
[0:35:45 – 0:35:47] Adam: A lot of Waba Kimi on this show all of a sudden.
[0:35:47 – 0:35:49] Adam: What’s going on here, guys?
[0:35:49 – 0:35:50] Erik: What’s going on here, guys?
[0:35:50 – 0:35:55] Adam: You guys having a few too many Fleischmanns and sunshine over there in the tumble shed?
[0:35:55 – 0:36:06] Erik: Noah Fleischman’s just whatever this Nick Cage knockoff on the stacked deck interdimensional awareness double IPA.
[0:36:06 – 0:36:08] Erik: I don’t think it’s Nick Cage.
[0:36:08 – 0:36:09] Erik: I don’t think it is either.
[0:36:10 – 0:36:13] Erik: Too fat in the face and just doesn’t have the right eyes.
[0:36:13 – 0:36:16] Erik: But he is like kind of two days away from a shave.
[0:36:18 – 0:36:18] Erik: And…
[0:36:24 – 0:36:24] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:36:24 – 0:36:27] Adam: I think it’s Sam from Dirty Work.
[0:36:29 – 0:36:32] Adam: It’s a young Sam from the first scene of Dirty Work.
[0:36:33 – 0:36:34] UNKNOWN: Oh, yeah.
[0:36:34 – 0:36:34] Adam: All right.
[0:36:35 – 0:36:39] Adam: I think it’s time to get to the meat, and you know what they say.
[0:36:41 – 0:36:43] Adam: Can’t have the meat if you don’t have the charcoal.
[0:36:43 – 0:36:44] Adam: Charcoal.
[0:36:45 – 0:36:48] Adam: Can you go to all red mode?
[0:36:48 – 0:36:49] Erik: You want all red.
[0:36:54 – 0:36:56] Adam: It’s time for the meat.
[0:36:59 – 0:37:00] Adam: That’s pretty good.
[0:37:00 – 0:37:01] Adam: That’s pretty good.
[0:37:02 – 0:37:02] Adam: Nice.
[0:37:03 – 0:37:03] Adam: Wow.
[0:37:04 – 0:37:06] Adam: Gordy’s living it up here with these new party lights.
[0:37:06 – 0:37:06] Adam: This is amazing.
[0:37:10 – 0:37:11] Erik: I think I’m finishing.
[0:37:12 – 0:37:14] Erik: I’m starting up where we left off.
[0:37:14 – 0:37:15] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:37:15 – 0:37:17] Erik: Is it going off of our voice now?
[0:37:18 – 0:37:18] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:37:18 – 0:37:19] Adam: I think it is.
[0:37:20 – 0:37:21] Adam: Hey, lights.
[0:37:22 – 0:37:23] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:37:23 – 0:37:24] Adam: Change colors, too.
[0:37:24 – 0:37:25] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:37:25 – 0:37:27] Adam: I don’t know what’s happening right now.
[0:37:27 – 0:37:32] Adam: Did you get an email response that we want to get to first or you want to save that for the dessert?
[0:37:33 – 0:37:46] Erik: No, let’s get to an email response, and you use the eagle-iest of your eagle eyes to see if these lights are truly, in fact, going off the sound of my voice, voice, voice.
[0:37:49 – 0:37:50] Adam: They absolutely are.
[0:37:50 – 0:37:51] Erik: This is from Anthony.
[0:37:51 – 0:37:52] Erik: Anthony.
[0:37:56 – 0:38:23] Erik: question of the week response in the past 18 months oh and just as a reminder if you’re not following along as close as you probably should be uh this is a in response to the question of the week that was uh posted a few weeks ago after the bondage waters was closed what are some of your other favorite parks foot boat uh hot air balloon parks but uh what would be a butt park
[0:38:25 – 0:38:26] Erik: Like a lazy river.
[0:38:26 – 0:38:27] Erik: A lazy river.
[0:38:28 – 0:38:29] Erik: A water park is a butt park.
[0:38:29 – 0:38:29] Adam: Yeah.
[0:38:31 – 0:38:31] Adam: Noah’s Ark.
[0:38:31 – 0:38:32] Adam: Noah’s Ark is a butt park.
[0:38:32 – 0:38:33] Adam: Noah’s Ark is a butt park.
[0:38:33 – 0:38:34] Adam: Everybody knows it.
[0:38:34 – 0:38:35] Adam: Everybody knows that.
[0:38:35 – 0:38:36] Adam: I can’t handle these lights.
[0:38:36 – 0:38:38] Adam: You’ve got to turn this off, Eric.
[0:38:38 – 0:38:39] Adam: This is ridiculous.
[0:38:39 – 0:38:40] Erik: It’s too much.
[0:38:40 – 0:38:41] Erik: Oh, my God.
[0:38:41 – 0:38:46] Erik: I think that they actually are doing a decent job on…
[0:38:46 – 0:38:47] Erik: So when I talk…
[0:38:47 – 0:38:48] Adam: I think Gordy is becoming sentient.
[0:38:49 – 0:38:50] Erik: At one end of the…
[0:38:50 – 0:38:50] Erik: I think it…
[0:38:51 – 0:38:52] Erik: I don’t even know where it starts.
[0:38:52 – 0:38:54] Erik: It’s going out of the middle to the direction you’re facing your voice at.
[0:38:55 – 0:39:00] Erik: It starts… We have a string of lights in the studio now that’s responding to how…
[0:39:00 – 0:39:02] Erik: It’s supposed to respond to music.
[0:39:02 – 0:39:03] Adam: I’m freaking out right now.
[0:39:03 – 0:39:08] Erik: Now it’s just responding to the way that we’re talking and it has me questioning…
[0:39:08 – 0:39:10] Erik: How to finish a sentence.
[0:39:10 – 0:39:15] Erik: So I’m going to put it on like regular old robot mode just so I can concentrate.
[0:39:16 – 0:39:19] Erik: That was a scary couple of… Breathe.
[0:39:19 – 0:39:22] Erik: Three, two, one.
[0:39:22 – 0:39:24] Erik: Well, I think we should get a second set of those going.
[0:39:24 – 0:39:26] Adam: Yeah, we definitely need to get the other one plugged in.
[0:39:27 – 0:39:32] Adam: We need to get the other USB port out here because they only run off of USB, obviously.
[0:39:32 – 0:39:32] Adam: Right.
[0:39:32 – 0:39:34] Adam: That’s how they know that they’re connected into the matrix.
[0:39:35 – 0:39:35] Erik: Yeah.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:39] Adam: Have you started Season 3 of Westworld yet?
[0:39:39 – 0:39:39] Erik: No.
[0:39:40 – 0:39:42] Adam: It came out a couple years ago, apparently.
[0:39:42 – 0:39:44] Adam: I’m behind, but I just started it.
[0:39:44 – 0:39:46] Adam: I think this is what’s going on here.
[0:39:46 – 0:39:48] Adam: I think we’ve got a Rehoboam scenario going on here.
[0:39:48 – 0:39:49] Erik: Uh-oh.
[0:39:49 – 0:39:51] Adam: Yeah, I don’t like it, but I do like it.
[0:39:52 – 0:39:56] Erik: I kind of liked it for a little bit there, but then I was paying too much attention to it.
[0:39:56 – 0:39:58] Adam: Yeah, it makes it hard to even focus.
[0:40:00 – 0:40:01] Erik: Which we have a hard time doing already.
[0:40:02 – 0:40:03] Erik: Let’s add some more things.
[0:40:03 – 0:40:04] Adam: We’re into the meat.
[0:40:05 – 0:40:06] Adam: We’re definitely into the meat.
[0:40:06 – 0:40:07] Adam: Don’t worry, guys.
[0:40:07 – 0:40:12] Erik: We should get a wheel that we can spin somehow that adds to when we decide to read what we read.
[0:40:14 – 0:40:19] Erik: What parks outside of the Boundary Waters do you have to recommend?
[0:40:20 – 0:40:20] Erik: Foot.
[0:40:20 – 0:40:20] Erik: Butt.
[0:40:21 – 0:40:22] Erik: Lava.
[0:40:22 – 0:40:22] Erik: Wet.
[0:40:23 – 0:40:23] Erik: A lava park.
[0:40:25 – 0:40:25] Erik: Mini-golf.
[0:40:27 – 0:40:28] Erik: This one’s from Anthony.
[0:40:28 – 0:40:31] Erik: This is the only email we got.
[0:40:31 – 0:40:33] Erik: TumbleHomeCast at gmail.com in the future.
[0:40:34 – 0:40:40] Erik: If you have any questions, comments, recovering social media users, that’s where emails should go.
[0:40:41 – 0:40:47] Erik: In the past 18 months, I’ve discovered a wonderful network of trails in the Twin Cities metro and beyond.
[0:40:48 – 0:40:52] Erik: The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, which is managed by the U.S.
[0:40:52 – 0:41:02] Erik: Fish and Wildlife Service, has 11 units of public land that straddles sections of the Minnesota River and its surrounding backwaters, lowlands, and uplands.
[0:41:04 – 0:41:05] Erik: That’s all the lands.
[0:41:06 – 0:41:06] Adam: And buttlands.
[0:41:07 – 0:41:09] Erik: Middlelands and buttlands.
[0:41:10 – 0:41:14] Erik: Most, if not all, have an extensive trail system that goes on for miles.
[0:41:15 – 0:41:20] Erik: The trails offer varied terrain and an opportunity to view abundant wildlife and plant life.
[0:41:20 – 0:41:24] Erik: Just before the pandemic hit, I signed up as a volunteer for the refuge.
[0:41:25 – 0:41:31] Erik: And it was a saving grace to have these expanses of nature where one can hike for hours within the urban area.
[0:41:32 – 0:41:37] Erik: I’ve really enjoyed witnessing the unfolding of the native spring ephemeral flowers the last two springs.
[0:41:40 – 0:41:42] Erik: I should also mention the fantastic birding that can be had.
[0:41:43 – 0:41:52] Erik: Each of the units have multiple access points, so one can see different sections of the trail system without having to hike the entirety all at once.
[0:41:53 – 0:42:01] Erik: The closest in proximity to the city center is the Long Meadow Lake Unit.
[0:42:02 – 0:42:17] Erik: This unit is also accessible via the blue line on the light rail exit at American Boulevard and walk a few blocks to the Minnesota Valley NWR, National Wildlife Refuge, that is, Visitor Center.
[0:42:18 – 0:42:19] Erik: He has attached a map.
[0:42:19 – 0:42:25] Erik: I’m assuming y’all out there can find that with a simple goog.
[0:42:25 – 0:42:27] Adam: Of the blue line, yeah.
[0:42:27 – 0:42:28] Erik: Goog the blue line.
[0:42:28 – 0:42:32] Erik: I encourage you to seek out other units further upstream.
[0:42:33 – 0:42:34] Erik: They all have something different to offer.
[0:42:35 – 0:42:41] Erik: The farther you go, the fewer people you’ll encounter, as is true most everywhere.
[0:42:42 – 0:42:49] Adam: I do have an update from the Namakagan River and the St. Croix Scenic River Wilderness.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:51] Adam: The boys.
[0:42:52 – 0:42:52] Erik: Oh, yes.
[0:42:52 – 0:42:57] Adam: Chinwhisker Charles and the warden who you met in…
[0:42:58 – 0:43:03] Adam: I’m going to say episode 80 from the Tiberius and Raul classic.
[0:43:04 – 0:43:06] Adam: They like to paddle that river every fall.
[0:43:07 – 0:43:10] Adam: And Warden got his personal best, a lifetime fish.
[0:43:11 – 0:43:15] Adam: Special shout-out to the Warden tonight for the 50-plus-inch sturge.
[0:43:15 – 0:43:16] Adam: Jeez.
[0:43:16 – 0:43:19] Adam: Got sturgeon claws on the line, and he got them in a beautiful picture.
[0:43:19 – 0:43:20] Adam: And…
[0:43:22 – 0:43:47] Adam: silly dean also picked up a really nice musky on the trip too and uh i guess they got all five kind of red horse too so that’s a yahtzee yeah they got them all they did they did it all so uh i don’t know if we’re getting any other mentions of the namakagan river but beautiful thing i’ve uh not experienced any of these uh these like hiking trails in the city’s
[0:43:47 – 0:43:56] Erik: Yeah, they kind of Tetris themselves in in a fragmented fashion down there in the cities in a pretty good way.
[0:43:56 – 0:44:00] Adam: How many different lakes are in the Twin Cities area?
[0:44:00 – 0:44:03] Erik: Well, that’s kind of an open-ended question.
[0:44:03 – 0:44:03] Erik: I mean…
[0:44:03 – 0:44:04] Erik: Depends on where you draw the line.
[0:44:05 – 0:44:07] Erik: Within the, like, 94 corridor?
[0:44:07 – 0:44:08] Adam: Yeah, yeah, sure.
[0:44:08 – 0:44:09] Erik: Inside the loop.
[0:44:09 – 0:44:10] Erik: Inside the loop.
[0:44:10 – 0:44:17] Erik: I mean, nothing of any real size, but there’s, like, the chain of lakes down in, like, uptown where there’s, like, a bunch of…
[0:44:18 – 0:44:20] Erik: I’m trying to think of, like, a…
[0:44:20 – 0:44:23] Erik: I would say, like, a round lake size.
[0:44:23 – 0:44:26] Erik: A round lake up on the Gunflint Trail.
[0:44:27 – 0:44:27] Erik: Size lakes.
[0:44:28 – 0:44:28] Erik: Yeah.
[0:44:28 – 0:44:28] Erik: Kind of like…
[0:44:30 – 0:44:54] Erik: i don’t know what they’re called anymore and i’m not going to try like yahoo night paddling going on out there i assume oh i’m sure there’s all kinds of yahoo night paddling yahoo sailing oh boy night sailing like that that’s nice yeah no there’s i mean the biggest lakes i think in the metro are probably your uh your minnetonkas your white bears and
[0:44:55 – 0:45:00] Erik: your bald Eagles, but those are still just outside of the four 94 loop.
[0:45:01 – 0:45:03] Adam: Wait, barely cool beers.
[0:45:05 – 0:45:07] Erik: Uh, yeah, there’s a, I mean for a Metro area.
[0:45:07 – 0:45:07] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:07 – 0:45:09] Erik: Probably the highest concentration still.
[0:45:10 – 0:45:13] Erik: But nothing of any massive size.
[0:45:14 – 0:45:15] Erik: Pretty neat.
[0:45:15 – 0:45:21] Erik: I’m sure they’re all named after horrible white men who came along and just claimed something as their own.
[0:45:21 – 0:45:25] Erik: Talking about whatever Calhoun is called now.
[0:45:26 – 0:45:27] Erik: I know that they changed that name.
[0:45:28 – 0:45:28] Erik: Oh, really?
[0:45:28 – 0:45:28] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:30 – 0:45:58] Erik: it’s no longer called that and shame on me for not knowing but you know you grow up with 35 years of certain consecutive letters that sound like white man words and then all of a sudden they change the name to something that doesn’t look anything like it it becomes hard to remember so apologies for the not remembering the name of what that lake is and I think it should probably be a thing that happens more often
[0:45:59 – 0:46:25] Erik: looking at you mount josephine up on grand portage do you want to do trout fishing papa yeah yeah back on we’re back on the reddit we’re still going up we’re going all the way to the top i think we’re going down actually we started at the top we started at the top now we’re true here true yes we’re going back to the bottom
[0:46:25 – 0:46:33] Adam: All right, we’re back on Tumble Homecast Reddit, the greatest subreddit in all of canoe paddling.
[0:46:34 – 0:46:39] Adam: Next up on the show, Troutfish and Papa with six Franzias.
[0:46:41 – 0:46:43] Adam: My favorite for close to home is definitely Sylvania.
[0:46:44 – 0:46:48] Adam: Still an easy drive for a weekend, but it’s got a real wilderness feel still.
[0:46:49 – 0:46:51] Adam: Also, they are old roads.
[0:46:51 – 0:46:55] Adam: The portages are almost too easy, although I never say that when I’m on them.
[0:46:56 – 0:47:02] Adam: Being old growth, there isn’t a ton of wildlife outside of birds, so on calm nights it gets crazy quiet.
[0:47:03 – 0:47:13] Adam: At one point on Loon Lake, I woke up in the middle of the night, and it was so quiet you could have told, I guess written, that I had just gone deaf, and I would have believed you.
[0:47:14 – 0:47:21] Adam: I just marveled at how awesome it is to have places where that stillness is possible until a great horned owl broke the silence.
[0:47:22 – 0:47:23] Adam: Very magical.
[0:47:24 – 0:47:31] Adam: As far as the bucket list park, that would have to be Bright Sand River Provincial Park west of Thunder Bay.
[0:47:32 – 0:47:39] Adam: It’s just south of Wabakimi, I’ve seen mentioned, and the western end of the Kapka River route I’ve also seen mentioned.
[0:47:39 – 0:47:46] Adam: The Bright Sands source is Pakistan Lake, which my grandpa took me fishing to almost every summer growing up.
[0:47:47 – 0:47:50] Adam: I apologize to anybody who knows how to pronounce the name of that lake.
[0:47:51 – 0:47:52] Adam: That’s a side tangent.
[0:47:53 – 0:47:54] Adam: Pakistan.
[0:47:55 – 0:48:19] Adam: still didn’t get it yeah one of our favorite parts of the lake to fish was the outlet bay and i can remember so many times hearing the rapids of the outlet and wondering what awesome adventures would be beyond there i’ve since found out not only is there a park with portages and campsites but it supposedly has excellent fishing according to daryl blanzino’s a brief time in heaven planning on starting a
[0:48:20 – 0:48:25] Adam: Pakachan for old times and paddling the second bridge for one day.
[0:48:25 – 0:48:28] Adam: Hopefully in the next few years I’ll have a report.
[0:48:28 – 0:48:28] Adam: All right.
[0:48:30 – 0:48:32] Adam: I do believe that deserves an extra box of wine.
[0:48:33 – 0:48:36] Adam: Really sorry to anybody hanging out in Pakachan.
[0:48:37 – 0:48:40] Erik: I feel like you did it as good a justice as you could have.
[0:48:40 – 0:48:44] Erik: You should probably just read the next comment, too, because you didn’t think it was going to come up.
[0:48:45 – 0:48:46] Adam: All right.
[0:48:46 – 0:48:47] Adam: Oh, there we go.
[0:48:47 – 0:48:51] Adam: Next up, Route Scouter, friend of the show, The Nam.
[0:48:51 – 0:48:52] Adam: Tomahome group trip?
[0:48:53 – 0:48:53] Adam: Who’s in?
[0:48:54 – 0:48:57] Adam: FYI, beer cans allowed.
[0:48:58 – 0:48:59] Adam: County K to Riverside.
[0:48:59 – 0:49:00] Adam: Let’s go.
[0:49:00 – 0:49:01] Adam: October is beautiful.
[0:49:01 – 0:49:01] Adam: There we go.
[0:49:02 – 0:49:15] Adam: okay oh paddling hoedag is in is in on this idea so uh yeah we were talking about uh hopefully getting them back on the water here soon uh october trip on the nam can we get all five red horse
[0:49:17 – 0:49:19] Adam: probably likely.
[0:49:19 – 0:49:22] Adam: They are ferocious predators and beautiful.
[0:49:23 – 0:49:23] Adam: I love it.
[0:49:23 – 0:49:24] Adam: I love the idea.
[0:49:24 – 0:49:26] Adam: County K is definitely the spot to put in.
[0:49:27 – 0:49:28] Adam: County K to Riverside.
[0:49:29 – 0:49:32] Adam: I mean, if you’re out there, if anybody out there is listening, I highly recommend it.
[0:49:33 – 0:49:34] Adam: You got to get there.
[0:49:35 – 0:49:36] Adam: It’s just something else.
[0:49:37 – 0:49:39] Adam: All right, Eric, I’ve scrolled you up.
[0:49:39 – 0:49:40] Erik: You’ve scrolled me up?
[0:49:40 – 0:49:41] Adam: Yep, you’re ready to go.
[0:49:41 – 0:49:43] Erik: I got to scroll myself out.
[0:49:45 – 0:49:47] Erik: We need a side sipper.
[0:49:47 – 0:49:52] Erik: Got those side sipper.
[0:49:53 – 0:49:54] Erik: Actually, it’s not even a side sipper.
[0:49:54 – 0:49:55] Erik: It’s just the next sip.
[0:49:56 – 0:49:59] Erik: Almost done with these fat Nick cages.
[0:50:02 – 0:50:02] Erik: Whatever they are.
[0:50:02 – 0:50:06] Erik: I don’t know if I could do another one of those right away.
[0:50:06 – 0:50:11] Erik: Maybe once we start talking about Norm Macdonald’s dirty work.
[0:50:13 – 0:50:35] Erik: take a little bit of a break we got to get to these before the end of the season fully is upon us we’ve got some beaver island bibco brewing blueberry ripple kolsch ales these are from jim thanks jim it’s only so many more days in the year you can get away with drinking blueberry beer
[0:50:39 – 0:50:41] Adam: Days of blueberry beer, they’re just about finished.
[0:50:41 – 0:50:42] Erik: They are.
[0:50:43 – 0:50:44] Adam: They’re numbered.
[0:50:44 – 0:50:45] Adam: Oh, they’re numbered.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:50] Erik: We got David Putty coming in.
[0:50:50 – 0:50:51] Erik: Yeah, that’s right.
[0:50:51 – 0:50:52] Adam: Friend of the show.
[0:50:52 – 0:50:53] Erik: Friend of the show, David Putty.
[0:50:54 – 0:50:57] Erik: The Wind River Range in Wyoming is a pretty remarkable place.
[0:50:58 – 0:51:05] Erik: Lots of little mountaintop pothole lakes with huge trout and a lot more with no fish at all.
[0:51:07 – 0:51:08] Adam: Why is that, though?
[0:51:09 – 0:51:10] Erik: I don’t get what that’s all about.
[0:51:11 – 0:51:12] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:51:13 – 0:51:15] Erik: Wind River Range in Wyoming I have not been.
[0:51:15 – 0:51:21] Erik: I found myself in the Bighorn Range at one point on my trip out west.
[0:51:23 – 0:51:24] Erik: Kind of crazy.
[0:51:24 – 0:51:25] Erik: I saw a moose.
[0:51:26 – 0:51:26] Erik: Ah.
[0:51:27 – 0:51:27] Erik: Wild.
[0:51:27 – 0:51:31] Erik: It was, you know, on either side of that range.
[0:51:32 – 0:51:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:51:34 – 0:51:35] Erik: Pretty plains-y.
[0:51:35 – 0:51:37] Erik: Pretty what you’d expect.
[0:51:37 – 0:51:42] Erik: And then all of a sudden you get up in the mountains and it’s like Boreal feeling almost.
[0:51:42 – 0:51:43] Erik: High country.
[0:51:43 – 0:51:44] Erik: Kind of crazy.
[0:51:45 – 0:51:46] Erik: Kind of crazy.
[0:51:49 – 0:51:50] Erik: I’ll do another one.
[0:51:51 – 0:51:51] Erik: Yeah?
[0:51:52 – 0:51:52] Adam: You got it.
[0:51:53 – 0:51:56] Erik: You could say no if you really want to read it.
[0:51:58 – 0:52:01] Erik: Oh, this is interesting that this got removed somehow.
[0:52:03 – 0:52:04] Erik: Can I unremove it?
[0:52:05 – 0:52:06] Adam: Yeah, you’re a mod.
[0:52:06 – 0:52:07] Adam: You can do whatever you want.
[0:52:07 – 0:52:12] Erik: Yeah, but it seems like it was like removed unbeknownst to me.
[0:52:13 – 0:52:13] Erik: Well, I didn’t do it.
[0:52:14 – 0:52:15] Erik: I’m sure you didn’t.
[0:52:17 – 0:52:18] Erik: A pair of choppers.
[0:52:19 – 0:52:23] Erik: We had back-to-back-to-back AAU championships.
[0:52:23 – 0:52:23] Erik: No, sorry.
[0:52:23 – 0:52:27] Erik: Back-to-back BWCA trips planned beginning 9-1 for two weeks.
[0:52:29 – 0:52:34] Erik: One of those trips has very quickly morphed into a cheap flight to Vegas.
[0:52:34 – 0:52:35] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:52:35 – 0:52:39] Erik: And then a road trip and hike through Zion, Bryce, and Grand Canyon.
[0:52:39 – 0:52:39] Erik: All right.
[0:52:40 – 0:52:42] Erik: I think they just used Vegas as the hub.
[0:52:42 – 0:52:43] Erik: The hub.
[0:52:44 – 0:52:46] Erik: Tons of other lesser-known outdoor spots.
[0:52:46 – 0:52:52] Erik: Super excited to explore this area of the country I’ve never been to.
[0:52:53 – 0:52:56] Adam: When you think wilderness parks, you definitely think Las Vegas.
[0:52:56 – 0:52:57] Erik: I think Fremont Street.
[0:52:57 – 0:53:01] Erik: When they turn those lights on all pretty and bright, man, there’s no wilderness I’d rather be in.
[0:53:02 – 0:53:08] Erik: Yeah, if you’ve just been starting to check off Grand Canyon off the old bucket list, that’s a…
[0:53:09 – 0:53:11] Erik: I think that’s a fine and great audible.
[0:53:12 – 0:53:17] Erik: Of course, there will be a final night in Vegas before the morning flight out.
[0:53:18 – 0:53:20] Erik: That’s going to be a fun flight, I’m sure, for you.
[0:53:20 – 0:53:20] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:21 – 0:53:25] Adam: I don’t know about that.
[0:53:25 – 0:53:26] Erik: Wheezes.
[0:53:28 – 0:53:30] Erik: All of those national parks are amazing.
[0:53:32 – 0:53:35] Erik: You got to get off the beaten path for the most part, depending on the time of year.
[0:53:36 – 0:53:37] Erik: Grand Canyon is pretty easy to do that.
[0:53:38 – 0:53:43] Erik: Any like half mile below the rim and you pretty much got the place yourself.
[0:53:45 – 0:53:46] Erik: Same thing with Bryce.
[0:53:46 – 0:53:46] Erik: Just you and the mules.
[0:53:47 – 0:53:48] Erik: Zion’s a little harder.
[0:53:49 – 0:53:52] Erik: You got to just get up early at Zion and go off-season.
[0:53:52 – 0:53:58] Erik: And Arches is damn near impossible unless you’re going super backcountry.
[0:53:59 – 0:54:10] Erik: The place to be, I think, in Utah when it comes to national parks and having your pick of the litter when it comes to hiking and or camp spots, I think, is Canyonlands.
[0:54:10 – 0:54:11] Erik: Canyonlands, yeah.
[0:54:12 – 0:54:41] Erik: yes the needles island in the sky god forbid if you’ve got that if you got that jeep with those magical tires get out of the maze um yeah sounds great that was three weeks ago and you said you were planning on doing that trip starting nine one the sounds like you’re probably you’re probably back from that trip pair of choppers i uh i hope it went well um and i hope that the flight home from vegas um didn’t inundate you with the delta variant
[0:54:43 – 0:54:45] Erik: Fingers crossed.
[0:54:46 – 0:54:48] Erik: We got Pequod Seapod.
[0:54:48 – 0:54:50] Erik: First time commenter, I believe.
[0:54:50 – 0:54:51] Erik: Yeah, I believe this is him.
[0:54:51 – 0:54:52] Erik: It’s my first time ever.
[0:54:52 – 0:54:55] Erik: Welcome to the show, Pequod Seapod.
[0:54:55 – 0:54:58] Adam: Welcome to the show.
[0:54:58 – 0:54:59] Adam: This is a welcoming place.
[0:55:00 – 0:55:08] Adam: I moved further south recently and I’ve been intrigued by the canoe camping possibilities of the Green River at Mammoth Cave National Park.
[0:55:09 – 0:55:12] Adam: as well as Big South Fork in Tennessee, Kentucky.
[0:55:13 – 0:55:14] Adam: Non-canoe related.
[0:55:15 – 0:55:19] Adam: I plan on spending some time hiking, climbing in Red River Gorge in eastern Kentucky.
[0:55:19 – 0:55:20] Adam: There you go.
[0:55:20 – 0:55:22] Adam: Some Kentucky, Tennessee content.
[0:55:23 – 0:55:23] Adam: Yeah.
[0:55:23 – 0:55:26] Adam: Shout out to both Kentucky and Tennessee.
[0:55:27 – 0:55:29] Adam: What’s going on down there?
[0:55:29 – 0:55:30] Adam: That’s what’s going on.
[0:55:30 – 0:55:32] Adam: It’s a Tuckasee podcast.
[0:55:33 – 0:55:36] Adam: We could do a little side tangent trip down there someday, maybe.
[0:55:36 – 0:55:38] Erik: Hey, Marge, how’s the Tuckasee?
[0:55:38 – 0:55:39] Erik: Oh, it’s real good.
[0:55:40 – 0:55:42] Erik: It’s filled with hiking.
[0:55:44 – 0:55:49] Adam: Well, thank you for jumping in on Tumble Home Welcome, and we hope you stick around.
[0:55:50 – 0:55:51] Adam: Two boxes of Franzia for you.
[0:55:52 – 0:55:54] Adam: Appreciate your contributions.
[0:55:55 – 0:55:59] Adam: Next up on the show, also first-time caller, Hopalicious.
[0:56:00 – 0:56:04] Adam: I like the Porcupine Lake Wilderness in northern Wisconsin.
[0:56:04 – 0:56:07] Adam: It’s part of the Chacuamaguan Nicolet National Forest.
[0:56:08 – 0:56:14] Adam: It’s a solid portage into Porcupine Lake, but it has some great fishing and some decent solitude.
[0:56:15 – 0:56:20] Adam: No motorized equipment allowed, so it’s like a really small one-lake BWCA.
[0:56:21 – 0:56:29] Adam: It also contains the most ferocious mosquitoes I have ever been unfortunate enough to encounter with the flourish.
[0:56:31 – 0:56:38] Adam: A friend of the show, Max Kaven, on the response, the Shequamagon Nicolet National Forest is super underrated.
[0:56:38 – 0:56:40] Erik: That’s right.
[0:56:41 – 0:56:41] Adam: That’s right.
[0:56:42 – 0:56:45] Erik: Almost all of northern Wisconsin is national forest.
[0:56:46 – 0:56:49] Adam: Yeah, it’s pretty national forest rich up there.
[0:56:50 – 0:56:58] Adam: I was being Green Bay, Kiwani, Manitowoc, East Sider.
[0:56:59 – 0:57:00] Adam: I was more of the Nicolet.
[0:57:01 – 0:57:04] Adam: I’m a little bit more Nicolet, a little less Chequamegon.
[0:57:04 – 0:57:06] Erik: I’m a little bit Nicolay.
[0:57:06 – 0:57:08] Adam: And she’s a little bit Shaquamagon.
[0:57:08 – 0:57:11] Adam: There it is.
[0:57:11 – 0:57:14] Adam: And that’s why you pass the big bucks.
[0:57:14 – 0:57:15] Adam: Thank you.
[0:57:15 – 0:57:18] Adam: I’ve scrolled it up for you.
[0:57:19 – 0:57:21] Adam: I think we may have a first timer here for real.
[0:57:21 – 0:57:22] Adam: I’m scrolled?
[0:57:22 – 0:57:23] Adam: Yeah, you’re pre-scrolled.
[0:57:23 – 0:57:24] Adam: What do you mean for real?
[0:57:24 – 0:57:26] Erik: We’ve already had one.
[0:57:26 – 0:57:27] Erik: Livin’ Alve…
[0:57:30 – 0:57:31] Erik: Envy 1212.
[0:57:32 – 0:57:33] Erik: Loving every minute of it.
[0:57:34 – 0:57:36] Adam: I’m looking at a leisurely.
[0:57:36 – 0:57:37] Adam: Loving every minute of it.
[0:57:39 – 0:57:41] Erik: A backpack trip to Isle Royale.
[0:57:41 – 0:57:43] Erik: Although the park is open, but there is a fire.
[0:57:44 – 0:57:47] Erik: And several campgrounds are closed.
[0:57:48 – 0:57:49] Erik: September 10th is my entry date.
[0:57:50 – 0:57:51] Erik: So maybe BWCA.
[0:57:51 – 0:57:52] Erik: Maybe Isle Royale.
[0:57:53 – 0:57:55] Erik: Maybe just explore the UP.
[0:57:55 – 0:57:56] Erik: September 10th.
[0:57:57 – 0:58:00] Erik: I think most of the Bajor’s was open by then.
[0:58:01 – 0:58:02] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:58:02 – 0:58:04] Erik: I haven’t been following up on how Isle Royale is doing.
[0:58:04 – 0:58:07] Erik: I don’t think that fire out there has gotten too out of hand.
[0:58:07 – 0:58:09] Adam: They got it under control.
[0:58:09 – 0:58:10] Adam: 100% contained.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:11] Adam: That concludes your fire update.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:14] Erik: Monitor status.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:16] Adam: We’re not going to talk about this fire ever again.
[0:58:17 – 0:58:25] Erik: It’s the largest fire on the largest island on the largest lake on the largest island on the largest lake by surface area.
[0:58:25 – 0:58:27] Adam: This is the Ryan Fire.
[0:58:29 – 0:58:31] Erik: I think about that while you’re thinking about that.
[0:58:31 – 0:58:35] Erik: Think about this whiskey sipper friend of the show.
[0:58:36 – 0:58:44] Erik: The driftless region in Southeast Minnesota has been wonderful, uh, has been a wonderful place to explore living in the creek.
[0:58:45 – 0:58:48] Erik: You can sleep right in a creek or on a houseboat, especially in Winona.
[0:58:48 – 0:58:52] Erik: Living in Winona allows for easy access to places like the Root River.
[0:58:53 – 0:58:57] Erik: I’ve never done overnight trips on the Root River, but have on the Mississippi.
[0:58:57 – 0:59:01] Erik: Most of the backwaters around Winona are a National Wildlife Preserve.
[0:59:01 – 0:59:05] Erik: Camping is free on any islands along this part of the Mississippi.
[0:59:05 – 0:59:08] Erik: More details on regulations should be checked out before going.
[0:59:09 – 0:59:13] Adam: Definitely got to patch your hip boots and check your decoys before heading out there.
[0:59:13 – 0:59:15] Erik: That’s a Ron Chera rock fact.
[0:59:16 – 0:59:20] Erik: However, it can feel very industrial when trains and barges go by.
[0:59:20 – 0:59:21] Erik: I bet.
[0:59:23 – 0:59:23] Adam: Yeah.
[0:59:23 – 0:59:26] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:59:26 – 0:59:28] Adam: Got to watch out for those barges.
[0:59:28 – 0:59:30] Erik: Capitalize barges, too.
[0:59:31 – 0:59:32] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:59:32 – 0:59:34] Erik: Maybe it’s a person down there.
[0:59:34 – 0:59:35] Erik: Barges.
[0:59:35 – 0:59:37] Erik: Got to look out for when barges comes by.
[0:59:38 – 0:59:39] Adam: Barges time.
[0:59:39 – 0:59:40] Adam: Barges time.
[0:59:40 – 0:59:41] Adam: Barges time.
[0:59:41 – 0:59:47] Erik: When a real thrill, for a real thrill, one might try going through a lock in a canoe.
[0:59:48 – 0:59:49] Adam: Yeah.
[0:59:50 – 0:59:51] Adam: Permission to proceed, Captain.
[0:59:52 – 0:59:54] Erik: You got to get one of those little marine radios.
[0:59:55 – 0:59:57] Erik: I’m sure you have to go in when actual boats are going in.
[0:59:58 – 1:00:00] Adam: Gordy’s party ship, proceed into the dock.
[1:00:02 – 1:00:02] Adam: 10-4.
[1:00:02 – 1:00:04] Erik: 10-4, proceed.
[1:00:05 – 1:00:10] Erik: Could you imagine just being the only, just a canoe as the water starts lowering?
[1:00:11 – 1:00:12] Erik: Yeah.
[1:00:13 – 1:00:19] Erik: Even with all the commotion here, this part of the river is very beautiful with many sites to explore.
[1:00:20 – 1:00:21] Erik: Yeah, it sounds like fun.
[1:00:21 – 1:00:28] Erik: I’ve driven on numerous occasions down the Mississippi on both sides of the river, both Minnesota and Wisconsin.
[1:00:29 – 1:00:39] Erik: And anything south of Red Wing, specifically Lake Pepin, down there in bluff country, it’s a special part of the state.
[1:00:40 – 1:00:46] Erik: And yeah, both foot and butt parks abound.
[1:00:46 – 1:00:47] Erik: It’s pretty neat.
[1:00:48 – 1:00:48] Erik: Pretty neat.
[1:00:49 – 1:00:49] Adam: That’s pretty neat.
[1:00:50 – 1:00:52] Erik: Now, I’m almost positive this is a first-time commenter.
[1:00:53 – 1:00:53] Adam: For real.
[1:00:53 – 1:00:56] Adam: Welcome to the show, Daddy Waroos.
[1:00:57 – 1:01:05] Adam: A couple years ago, I passed up my normal October BWCA trip and instead paddled the lower canyons of the Rio Grande.
[1:01:05 – 1:01:06] Erik: Wow.
[1:01:06 – 1:01:09] Adam: Starting just downriver from Big Bend National Park.
[1:01:09 – 1:01:17] Adam: We paddled about 80 miles of river over the course of a week, camping at established sites and just random spots on both sides of the river.
[1:01:17 – 1:01:26] Adam: It was obviously very different from the BWCA, but a great experience nonetheless, both the paddling and the side hikes.
[1:01:27 – 1:01:33] Adam: Canoeing through the desert environment and through deep canyons was very novel for a BWCA paddler.
[1:01:34 – 1:01:41] Adam: We saw scorpions, rattlesnakes, dung beetles, and even a drug mule.
[1:01:42 – 1:01:48] Adam: We even saw Josh Brolin being chased by rabid dogs.
[1:01:49 – 1:01:50] Erik: Even a Josh Brolin.
[1:01:50 – 1:01:51] Adam: How did this happen?
[1:01:52 – 1:01:54] Adam: They even saw a desert bighorn sheep.
[1:01:55 – 1:01:59] Adam: We brought along a blacklight flashlight to help find scorpions in the dark.
[1:01:59 – 1:02:01] Adam: They glow under blacklight.
[1:02:01 – 1:02:02] Adam: Yeah, I don’t like that.
[1:02:03 – 1:02:07] Erik: I mean, I guess if you’re setting up a tent, you might want that, but I wouldn’t just go out walking around looking.
[1:02:07 – 1:02:08] Adam: Yeah, just for on purpose?
[1:02:08 – 1:02:10] Erik: Oh, look at all these scorpions.
[1:02:10 – 1:02:15] Adam: That may have been a mistake because it gets a little creepy once you realize how many scorpions are out there.
[1:02:16 – 1:02:16] Adam: End of comment.
[1:02:17 – 1:02:21] Adam: Extra box of Franzia and a new friend, Daddy Waroos.
[1:02:22 – 1:02:23] Erik: Well, thanks for the comment.
[1:02:23 – 1:02:24] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[1:02:25 – 1:02:33] Adam: Oh, and that definitely, I have to inform you, it is 7.19 p.m. and it is now officially tumble home.
[1:02:33 – 1:02:33] Adam: Dang.
[1:02:34 – 1:02:35] Erik: After dark.
[1:02:36 – 1:02:36] Adam: Oh.
[1:02:37 – 1:02:37] Adam: Scorpions.
[1:02:37 – 1:02:38] Adam: Scorpions.
[1:02:39 – 1:02:40] Adam: Sorry about that.
[1:02:40 – 1:02:42] Adam: The bighorn sheep, though, those are freaky.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:44] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[1:02:44 – 1:02:48] Erik: There was a bunch of bighorns all west, kind of all over.
[1:02:48 – 1:02:51] Erik: They kind of get to become more or less like deer around here.
[1:02:52 – 1:02:57] Adam: Yeah, I didn’t mean to glitch out on that comment, but I think I did update your Adobe Flash Player somehow.
[1:02:58 – 1:02:58] Erik: Oh, Jesus.
[1:02:58 – 1:03:02] Erik: Something was flashing at me, and I clicked OK just to make it stop.
[1:03:02 – 1:03:05] Adam: So I’m pretty sure you’re going to thank me later for that.
[1:03:06 – 1:03:09] Adam: Your Adobe is running at top efficiency.
[1:03:09 – 1:03:11] Erik: Oh, I don’t even know what’s happening here anymore.
[1:03:11 – 1:03:14] Adam: I think you’re at Eagle 98.
[1:03:14 – 1:03:16] Adam: Yeah, I think we’re all right.
[1:03:17 – 1:03:18] Erik: Eagle 98.
[1:03:21 – 1:03:26] Erik: Living in the Twin Cities, I’m partial to the lower St. Croix River above Stillwater for camping.
[1:03:28 – 1:03:31] Erik: On day trips, the Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Egan.
[1:03:32 – 1:03:37] Erik: Has a short but nice paddle slash portage loop across a handful of small lakes and ponds.
[1:03:38 – 1:03:43] Erik: I hear it can get pretty weedy as the summer goes on, so I’ve tended to visit in the spring.
[1:03:44 – 1:03:49] Erik: There is a nice little backwater of the Mississippi near St. Paul Park slash Cottage Grove.
[1:03:50 – 1:03:52] Erik: These guys, these are some insider tips here.
[1:03:53 – 1:03:56] Erik: That is a good for a couple relaxing hours.
[1:03:56 – 1:03:58] Erik: That is good for a couple relaxing hours.
[1:03:59 – 1:04:03] Erik: It is very undeveloped and would make you think you are much farther from the big river than you are.
[1:04:04 – 1:04:05] Erik: It’s a good.
[1:04:05 – 1:04:06] Erik: He’s good.
[1:04:06 – 1:04:11] Erik: I’m very intrigued by a camping trip down the Mississippi from the cities to La Crosse.
[1:04:11 – 1:04:13] Erik: I’m just a little intimidated by the locks and barges.
[1:04:16 – 1:04:33] Erik: Just get in touch with Whiskey Sipper It’s all about the barges Gotta get your ham radio skills up to dab Make sure you tune your frequency nodules Pet said I always see islands When I’m driving along the river and think I should go camp there
[1:04:34 – 1:04:37] Erik: Not sure what plan B is for my mid-September trip.
[1:04:37 – 1:04:41] Erik: Many of the areas and ideas on this thread are in the hopper.
[1:04:42 – 1:04:51] Erik: I need something that is going to suck as much of the Brant EP was promised to suck.
[1:04:51 – 1:04:54] Adam: But it didn’t, though, because it’s a beautiful entry point.
[1:04:55 – 1:04:57] Erik: Well, you just got to go.
[1:04:57 – 1:05:01] Erik: I mean, mid-September, you could maybe still be doing that, depending on when mid-September is.
[1:05:03 – 1:05:05] Erik: Or just get another brand permit.
[1:05:05 – 1:05:06] Erik: They’re almost always available.
[1:05:06 – 1:05:09] Adam: You just got to find yourself in the mid-September of your life.
[1:05:11 – 1:05:12] Adam: Wherever that happens to be.
[1:05:13 – 1:05:14] Erik: Wherever that happens to be.
[1:05:14 – 1:05:15] Erik: J underscore dat.
[1:05:16 – 1:05:24] Erik: Locking through in a canoe isn’t all that bad, but you can also portage around the lock or spillway sides if you’re not comfortable.
[1:05:25 – 1:05:26] Erik: Most of them way down.
[1:05:27 – 1:05:35] Erik: You can take backwaters and stay away from barge traffic, though they tended to be less of a concern than juggalos in pontoons or mud boats.
[1:05:36 – 1:05:41] Adam: If we learned anything from Mitch Weaver in Dirty Work, it’s that we don’t take no crap from any barges.
[1:05:43 – 1:05:45] Adam: That lack is just as much ours as it is the barges.
[1:05:47 – 1:05:49] Erik: At what point of that script was the love story tacked on?
[1:05:50 – 1:05:51] Adam: You got to have a love interest.
[1:05:52 – 1:05:56] Adam: She was literally credited as love interest.
[1:05:56 – 1:05:56] Adam: Yeah.
[1:05:56 – 1:05:57] Adam: I don’t even know.
[1:05:57 – 1:05:59] Erik: She literally just yells at her like Mildred.
[1:06:00 – 1:06:00] Erik: Mildred.
[1:06:00 – 1:06:01] Erik: Hey, Mildred.
[1:06:02 – 1:06:03] Erik: My name’s not Mildred.
[1:06:03 – 1:06:06] Erik: Oh, I didn’t know what your name was, so I was just taking a guess.
[1:06:07 – 1:06:08] Adam: That’s a novel approach.
[1:06:08 – 1:06:09] Adam: Yeah.
[1:06:09 – 1:06:11] Erik: Yeah.
[1:06:11 – 1:06:13] Erik: I don’t want to get into it too much.
[1:06:13 – 1:06:14] Adam: Don’t even get into it.
[1:06:15 – 1:06:21] Erik: Maybe some of the worst acting I’ve seen in a movie in a long time from that actress, actor, whatever.
[1:06:21 – 1:06:22] Adam: What was she given?
[1:06:22 – 1:06:25] Erik: No, I’m not saying that there was a whole lot to work with.
[1:06:25 – 1:06:27] Adam: I think the script was worse than the acting.
[1:06:27 – 1:06:34] Adam: Next up on the show, Cabin After, 18 Days Ago, with two boxes of Franzia.
[1:06:35 – 1:06:41] Adam: Anywhere my deer stand is, the level of connection with the natural world is unlike anything else in my life.
[1:06:42 – 1:06:46] Adam: I haven’t gotten a deer the last two years, which is my longest dry stretch.
[1:06:47 – 1:06:52] Adam: But in that time, I had 50-plus days in the woods, and 80% of that time was sitting still.
[1:06:53 – 1:06:58] Adam: Bow hunting is one of my deepest passions and yearly cycles.
[1:06:59 – 1:07:00] Erik: Wow.
[1:07:00 – 1:07:03] Adam: Now, this is a level of wilderness butt camping.
[1:07:03 – 1:07:05] Erik: That is, yeah, that’s a butt park there.
[1:07:05 – 1:07:07] Adam: This is a butt park, for sure.
[1:07:08 – 1:07:16] Adam: We didn’t know about this, to be fair, and just up front, that we did not know about this comment before we started joking about butt parks.
[1:07:16 – 1:07:18] Adam: But I think this is really what a butt park is about.
[1:07:18 – 1:07:38] Adam: well this is a tree stand yes tree stands and hunting that’s probably butt park water parks are probably more like back parks you’re almost you know this gets me thinking though like we’re always thinking about like covering miles and like seeing the the land but some of the best ways you can experience the wilderness is just sitting still and being quiet
[1:07:38 – 1:07:40] Erik: And watching the land.
[1:07:40 – 1:07:42] Adam: Let the land and the wilderness come to you.
[1:07:43 – 1:07:43] Adam: Yeah.
[1:07:43 – 1:07:45] Adam: This is a whole different kind of wilderness park.
[1:07:45 – 1:07:47] Adam: This is a true butt park.
[1:07:47 – 1:07:51] Adam: This might be one of the better comments I’ve ever read on the show.
[1:07:51 – 1:07:52] Adam: I know I said that last week.
[1:07:52 – 1:07:54] Adam: It doesn’t mean it can’t happen two weeks in a row.
[1:07:55 – 1:07:57] Adam: This is an amazing comment.
[1:07:57 – 1:07:58] Erik: People are going to have to up the ante going forward.
[1:07:58 – 1:08:02] Adam: I think that Cabin After does deserve this extra box of friends.
[1:08:02 – 1:08:02] Adam: Yeah, there you go.
[1:08:03 – 1:08:03] Adam: Sip, sip.
[1:08:05 – 1:08:07] Erik: Give him some awards out of my award repertoire.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:08] Adam: You have awards?
[1:08:08 – 1:08:09] Erik: No, I don’t.
[1:08:09 – 1:08:09] Erik: Oh, boy.
[1:08:10 – 1:08:11] Adam: That was really good.
[1:08:11 – 1:08:12] Adam: I like that a lot.
[1:08:13 – 1:08:13] Adam: Bow hunting.
[1:08:13 – 1:08:14] Adam: That one’s tough.
[1:08:14 – 1:08:15] Erik: It’s one of my deepest passions.
[1:08:16 – 1:08:17] Adam: And yearly cycles.
[1:08:17 – 1:08:22] Adam: I like how it ties into the cycles of life, too.
[1:08:23 – 1:08:24] Erik: And the seasons and everything.
[1:08:24 – 1:08:29] Erik: Comments at the beginning of the episode about the cycles of the earth as well.
[1:08:29 – 1:08:29] Adam: Yeah.
[1:08:29 – 1:08:33] Adam: How many crons have you spent in a tree stand?
[1:08:33 – 1:08:33] Erik: Yeah.
[1:08:33 – 1:08:36] Erik: How many butt crons have you spent out in the woods?
[1:08:37 – 1:08:37] Adam: Yeah.
[1:08:37 – 1:08:40] Adam: Maybe we need to do a trip where we actually don’t paddle.
[1:08:40 – 1:08:42] Adam: We just like sit in a canoe and float around.
[1:08:43 – 1:08:44] Erik: I couldn’t do that.
[1:08:44 – 1:08:44] Erik: No.
[1:08:45 – 1:08:47] Adam: I can see what happens, whichever way the wind blows.
[1:08:47 – 1:08:50] Adam: It’s like a hot air balloon podcast in a canoe.
[1:08:50 – 1:08:51] Erik: I’ve already done that though.
[1:08:51 – 1:08:52] Erik: I can’t do it in a canoe.
[1:08:54 – 1:08:56] Erik: I just…
[1:08:56 – 1:09:00] Erik: I do greatly and truly appreciate that comment.
[1:09:00 – 1:09:01] Erik: Yeah.
[1:09:01 – 1:09:02] Erik: That’s just…
[1:09:02 – 1:09:02] Erik: It’s so…
[1:09:02 – 1:09:03] Erik: It’s got me thinking.
[1:09:03 – 1:09:04] Erik: It’s tough for me, though.
[1:09:05 – 1:09:06] Erik: That’s a…
[1:09:06 – 1:09:06] Adam: Right.
[1:09:06 – 1:09:07] Adam: It is, though.
[1:09:07 – 1:09:09] Erik: There’s something about that that is…
[1:09:09 – 1:09:11] Adam: It’s unsettling to sit still.
[1:09:12 – 1:09:16] Erik: It is for, I would say, most humans.
[1:09:16 – 1:09:17] Adam: In my opinion…
[1:09:17 – 1:09:25] Adam: I was just talking to somebody about grouse hunting, and I like grouse hunting because you can kind of just walk around and you don’t have to really be that quiet.
[1:09:25 – 1:09:27] Adam: Duck hunting is kind of the same.
[1:09:27 – 1:09:28] Adam: You can hunt with a buddy.
[1:09:29 – 1:09:35] Adam: But deer hunting is unsettling to me, and I’ve never been good at it because you do have to just sit still and be quiet.
[1:09:35 – 1:09:42] Adam: And you can’t even really read a book because you kind of have to be paying really close attention at all times to all your senses.
[1:09:42 – 1:09:42] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:43 – 1:10:11] Adam: you can’t have any distractions it is to me like the most difficult difficult kind of hunting and it’s it should be the easiest thing to do just sit there and be still and be quiet but uh yeah good luck with that that’s tough i’m a podcaster i can’t possibly do that uh yeah no i could barely even like not uh record into the microphone when i was by myself driving across the country yeah i don’t have the discipline of a bow hunter i don’t know if i ever will
[1:10:12 – 1:10:14] Erik: No, no, I don’t know.
[1:10:15 – 1:10:19] Adam: I’ve spent a few days in the woods just being as quiet and still as I could.
[1:10:19 – 1:10:23] Adam: And yeah, it was amazingly difficult.
[1:10:24 – 1:10:26] Adam: And no deer were had at all.
[1:10:28 – 1:10:29] Erik: No, dear, we’re had.
[1:10:30 – 1:10:32] Erik: Well, either way, thank you for the comment.
[1:10:33 – 1:10:35] Erik: This next one’s from Muddyfoot1022.
[1:10:36 – 1:10:48] Erik: Canceling my late September Boundary Winners trip with a buddy and going on my first solo backpack trip to… GSMNP.
[1:10:49 – 1:10:51] Adam: That must be the Wabakimi of China.
[1:10:51 – 1:10:52] Erik: I think it is.
[1:10:52 – 1:10:55] Erik: No, it’s on the North Carolina side for three to four days.
[1:10:56 – 1:10:58] Erik: Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
[1:10:58 – 1:10:58] Erik: There it is.
[1:10:58 – 1:10:59] Erik: Nailed it.
[1:10:59 – 1:11:00] Erik: Got it.
[1:11:00 – 1:11:09] Erik: Yeah, the Smoky Mountains seem like if you just take a mile, maybe two, you basically get the whole place to yourself.
[1:11:10 – 1:11:11] Adam: Maybe that’s the question we got to ask.
[1:11:11 – 1:11:14] Adam: What’s the Great Smoky Mountains of China?
[1:11:14 – 1:11:14] Adam: Yeah.
[1:11:15 – 1:11:16] Erik: Yeah, that’s why we’re wrong.
[1:11:16 – 1:11:17] Adam: They don’t have any lakes over there.
[1:11:17 – 1:11:19] Adam: They do have a lot of mountains, though.
[1:11:19 – 1:11:19] Erik: Yeah.
[1:11:20 – 1:11:21] Adam: A couple, two, three of them.
[1:11:22 – 1:11:25] Erik: Plan is to hike and trout fish and relax.
[1:11:25 – 1:11:26] Erik: Trout for dinner.
[1:11:26 – 1:11:30] Erik: Breakfast, we’ll be dry mouthing instant oatmeal, baby.
[1:11:30 – 1:11:32] Adam: I don’t think you should do it.
[1:11:32 – 1:11:33] Adam: Baby.
[1:11:33 – 1:11:33] Adam: Baby.
[1:11:33 – 1:11:35] Adam: We’ll be instant oatmeal mouthing it.
[1:11:35 – 1:11:35] Adam: Ooh.
[1:11:36 – 1:11:36] Erik: Baby.
[1:11:37 – 1:11:37] Adam: Living the high life.
[1:11:38 – 1:11:39] Adam: Keep on the sunny side of life.
[1:11:40 – 1:11:42] Erik: Yeah, keep it on the sunny side.
[1:11:42 – 1:11:43] Erik: Sounds like fun.
[1:11:43 – 1:11:45] Erik: Money Foot, late September.
[1:11:45 – 1:11:47] Erik: The colors, I’m sure, will just be starting down there.
[1:11:48 – 1:11:52] Erik: Our colors are more or less just the trees have gotten tired of existing.
[1:11:53 – 1:11:54] Adam: They’re okay right now.
[1:11:54 – 1:11:55] Adam: They’re fine.
[1:11:55 – 1:11:56] Adam: This is probably about as good as it’s going to get.
[1:11:56 – 1:11:59] Erik: But the maples, you can tell are like just…
[1:12:00 – 1:12:00] Adam: I’ve had it.
[1:12:02 – 1:12:03] Adam: Like just brown and crumply.
[1:12:04 – 1:12:09] Erik: It’s like a little bit of reds on the younger ones, but any of the older maples are just like, just shrivel.
[1:12:09 – 1:12:19] Erik: It’s like, yeah, it looks like if you took a flame to somebody’s like long scrappy beard and the ends of the hairs got singed.
[1:12:19 – 1:12:22] Erik: That’s kind of what the tops of the maples look like right now.
[1:12:22 – 1:12:23] Adam: Look like an old crouton.
[1:12:23 – 1:12:24] Erik: Curled up in brown.
[1:12:25 – 1:12:27] Erik: Like an old crouton.
[1:12:28 – 1:12:31] Erik: Ground breaking gift 69.
[1:12:34 – 1:12:36] Erik: Glacier National Park is an awesome place.
[1:12:36 – 1:12:37] Erik: Yes, it is.
[1:12:37 – 1:12:38] Erik: I was just out there.
[1:12:39 – 1:12:42] Erik: There’s a lot of people, though, when I was there.
[1:12:42 – 1:12:46] Erik: There are many lakes to canoe in and get spectacular views of mountains.
[1:12:46 – 1:12:49] Erik: There is also great hiking and tons of other activities to do there.
[1:12:51 – 1:12:51] Erik: Yeah.
[1:12:52 – 1:12:53] Adam: You can take the train.
[1:12:55 – 1:12:56] Erik: You could take the train.
[1:12:57 – 1:13:08] Erik: Yeah, I was camped on the south side of the park on the Continental Divide where all the trains go by, both Amtrak and the industrial ones.
[1:13:09 – 1:13:15] Erik: And they go by a little too regularly for my liking there, but the stars were well worth it.
[1:13:16 – 1:13:17] Adam: Yeah, trains don’t have a ton of lights.
[1:13:18 – 1:13:21] Erik: And they don’t go by constantly, especially in the middle of the night.
[1:13:21 – 1:13:21] Erik: Yeah.
[1:13:24 – 1:13:25] Adam: Yeah, I’d rather have trains than barges.
[1:13:27 – 1:13:34] Erik: Yeah, the trains, unless you get a derailment thing happening, aren’t necessarily going to be an immediate danger of where you’re sitting.
[1:13:34 – 1:13:39] Adam: Next up on the show, Kigdy K-Bomb, friend of the show.
[1:13:41 – 1:13:42] Adam: One box of Franzio.
[1:13:42 – 1:13:43] Adam: What the heck’s going on here?
[1:13:44 – 1:13:46] Adam: Got another removal coming up, too.
[1:13:46 – 1:13:47] Adam: What’s going on with these removals?
[1:13:47 – 1:13:48] Erik: What’s going on with the removals?
[1:13:48 – 1:13:51] Adam: They’re being, like, outside modded.
[1:13:51 – 1:13:52] Adam: I’m going to write a letter to Mark Zuckerberg.
[1:13:53 – 1:13:53] Adam: I’m headed.
[1:13:56 – 1:13:57] Adam: Kiggity K-Bomb.
[1:13:58 – 1:13:59] Adam: Welcome to the show.
[1:14:00 – 1:14:08] Adam: I’ve only been living in Minnesota for 10 years now, so I’m relatively new to canoe camping and to what the upper Midwest has to offer for wilderness.
[1:14:08 – 1:14:15] Adam: I grew up in Washington State and spent my youth and young adulthood backpacking in the Cascade Mountains.
[1:14:15 – 1:14:15] Adam: Nailed it.
[1:14:16 – 1:14:24] Adam: As someone fairly well-traveled, I put the wilderness areas of the Cascades up against any place in the world for beauty and majesty.
[1:14:24 – 1:14:26] Erik: All right, it’s going on the tumble tourney this year.
[1:14:26 – 1:14:28] Erik: Cascade Mountain National Park.
[1:14:28 – 1:14:31] Adam: It’s a play-in scene.
[1:14:31 – 1:14:32] Adam: A few in particular.
[1:14:32 – 1:14:41] Adam: The Goat Rocks Wilderness, Alpine Lakes Wilderness, and Mount Baker Wilderness, all rival places like the Rocky Mountains or even Alaska.
[1:14:42 – 1:14:52] Adam: I can say as a relative newcomer to the BWCA that canoe camping has the distinctiveness that makes it difficult to compare to my other outdoor adventures.
[1:14:52 – 1:15:02] Adam: Canoe camping allows one to take in the wilderness a little more leisurely and enjoy things like fishing, swimming, day hiking, and quiet times at the campfire.
[1:15:03 – 1:15:03] Adam: Hmm.
[1:15:03 – 1:15:03] Adam: Hmm.
[1:15:16 – 1:15:25] Adam: Though I am relatively inexperienced with Midwest wilderness, I’ve discovered there are many places to enjoy even beyond the BWCA.
[1:15:25 – 1:15:28] Adam: The St. Croix River is great for paddling and camping.
[1:15:28 – 1:15:34] Adam: It’s nice to be able to find large groves of old jack pine just a few hours from the Twin Cities along the river.
[1:15:35 – 1:15:42] Adam: Another hidden gem I’ve come to enjoy, Hayes Lake State Park in northwest Minnesota.
[1:15:42 – 1:15:43] Adam: Hayes.
[1:15:44 – 1:15:45] Adam: Hayes.
[1:15:46 – 1:16:01] Adam: It sits on the very western edge of the Northwoods and is a surprisingly rugged and wild place for that part of the state with a handful of nice paddling sites, no motors, tall pines, and very few people.
[1:16:03 – 1:16:06] Adam: All right, definitely getting an extra box of wine for that comment.
[1:16:07 – 1:16:12] Erik: That comment should almost get a Stu Osthoff jug of fresh cow’s milk.
[1:16:14 – 1:16:15] Adam: Trey, tasty ammo.
[1:16:15 – 1:16:19] Adam: I don’t know why the next comment here would have been removed.
[1:16:19 – 1:16:21] Adam: That doesn’t seem right.
[1:16:21 – 1:16:22] Adam: I don’t know how to unremove it.
[1:16:23 – 1:16:24] Adam: Can I just say approve?
[1:16:25 – 1:16:27] Adam: I’m approving.
[1:16:27 – 1:16:28] Adam: Oh, I approved it.
[1:16:28 – 1:16:28] Adam: Oh.
[1:16:29 – 1:16:31] Adam: Do all these comments have to be approved?
[1:16:31 – 1:16:32] Adam: No, I don’t think so.
[1:16:32 – 1:16:34] Erik: Am I not doing my job as a moderator?
[1:16:34 – 1:16:35] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:16:35 – 1:16:44] Erik: It was probably like a random algorithmic consequential sequence of words that flagged it for some odd reason.
[1:16:45 – 1:16:45] Adam: We’ll see.
[1:16:45 – 1:16:46] Adam: We’ll see about that.
[1:16:46 – 1:16:47] Adam: Next up on the show…
[1:16:47 – 1:16:50] Erik: If it’s a park in Russia, it will be very obvious as to why it was fine.
[1:16:50 – 1:16:51] Adam: Seems all fine.
[1:16:51 – 1:16:53] Adam: I think it was because of…
[1:16:53 – 1:16:55] Adam: I think I see why this is problematic.
[1:16:55 – 1:16:57] Erik: Favorite park is Putin National Park.
[1:16:57 – 1:16:58] Adam: It’s a problem.
[1:16:58 – 1:17:00] Erik: It’s problematic.
[1:17:01 – 1:17:04] Adam: Next up on the show, pedal paddle.
[1:17:06 – 1:17:07] Adam: One box of wine.
[1:17:07 – 1:17:16] Adam: I’ve been to Isle Royale for two short day trips, just Windigo and back to Grand Portage via the Winona, then the Sea Hunter 2.
[1:17:16 – 1:17:20] Adam: I hear of sea kayakers circumnavigating Isle Royale.
[1:17:21 – 1:17:23] Adam: Anyone else dream of doing it in a canoe?
[1:17:24 – 1:17:24] Adam: Don’t do it.
[1:17:24 – 1:17:30] Adam: That’s why you do not want to suggest going around the big aisle on a canoe.
[1:17:30 – 1:17:31] Adam: Don’t do it.
[1:17:31 – 1:17:33] Adam: That’s why it was probably flagged.
[1:17:34 – 1:17:41] Adam: I had one time when I was young, had a stupid dream to take a canoe across Lake Michigan over to Ludington.
[1:17:41 – 1:17:42] Erik: And then take the ferry back?
[1:17:42 – 1:17:43] Adam: And then take the ferry back.
[1:17:43 – 1:17:49] Adam: But everybody, every single person across the board in my life told me I was an idiot.
[1:17:50 – 1:17:51] Erik: They laughed at you in your face?
[1:17:51 – 1:17:52] Erik: They were right.
[1:17:52 – 1:17:53] Erik: And you said, no, you idiot.
[1:17:53 – 1:17:54] Erik: You’re an idiot.
[1:17:54 – 1:17:55] Erik: The way to do it is to take a jet ski.
[1:17:56 – 1:17:57] Adam: Yeah, exactly.
[1:17:57 – 1:17:58] Erik: Where’s the skidoo?
[1:18:00 – 1:18:03] Adam: Have I, uh… Well, we’re pre-scrolled.
[1:18:03 – 1:18:04] Erik: I’ve been pre-scrolled.
[1:18:05 – 1:18:09] Erik: Being in K… KY. Kentucky.
[1:18:09 – 1:18:09] Erik: Sorry.
[1:18:10 – 1:18:11] Erik: This is from Winona Ryder.
[1:18:11 – 1:18:12] Erik: I’m all over the place here.
[1:18:13 – 1:18:19] Erik: Being in Kentucky means access means you have to look a little harder for canoe camping opportunities.
[1:18:20 – 1:18:20] Erik: But, they’re here.
[1:18:22 – 1:18:39] Erik: Land between the lake’s national recreation area is basically the landmass that is the country’s largest inland peninsula created by Kentucky, quote unquote, lake on one side and Lake Barkley on the other.
[1:18:39 – 1:18:45] Erik: 90% of the shoreline is legal for campsites, sorry, camping with a backcountry permit.
[1:18:46 – 1:18:49] Erik: It’s big water, especially on the Kentucky side.
[1:18:50 – 1:18:53] Erik: but there are plenty of little bays to keep things interesting.
[1:18:54 – 1:18:57] Erik: Better in the fall after wrecked boaters are gone and the weather isn’t as brutal.
[1:18:58 – 1:19:00] Erik: Lots of trails for day hikes as well.
[1:19:00 – 1:19:03] Erik: Lots of wildlife, eagles, and ospreys on our last trip.
[1:19:05 – 1:19:08] Erik: Land between the lakes National Recreation Area.
[1:19:08 – 1:19:10] Adam: Hmm, sounds interesting.
[1:19:12 – 1:19:19] Erik: Somewhere else I’ve heard great things about, but have never been, is Dale Hollow Lake, also on the Kentucky-Tennessee border.
[1:19:20 – 1:19:25] Erik: It is an impoundment lake, but has lots of campsites that are accessible only by water.
[1:19:26 – 1:19:31] Erik: Also better in fall when it’s slowed down a bit, and it’s supposed to be beautiful when the trees turn.
[1:19:32 – 1:19:33] Erik: It’s on our list to check out.
[1:19:36 – 1:19:38] Erik: More boxes of wine heading your way.
[1:19:42 – 1:19:45] Adam: I have to get a whiteboard out for this entire series.
[1:19:45 – 1:19:46] Erik: Yeah, we got to get a whiteboard.
[1:19:47 – 1:19:49] Erik: We need a whiteboard, and then we also need one of those.
[1:19:50 – 1:19:52] Erik: And then, yes, just an RV.
[1:19:54 – 1:19:59] Erik: No, like a cork board with a big map of the United States.
[1:19:59 – 1:20:01] Erik: And some yarn with a little tacks.
[1:20:01 – 1:20:03] Erik: Yes, who is Pepe Silvio?
[1:20:04 – 1:20:06] Erik: First time commenter, I think.
[1:20:09 – 1:20:14] Erik: We’re going to go ahead and say we’re punching first time commenter.
[1:20:14 – 1:20:15] Adam: Welcome to Tumble Home.
[1:20:15 – 1:20:16] Erik: Well, it does.
[1:20:16 – 1:20:23] Erik: It also helps that the first sentence is first time, long time.
[1:20:24 – 1:20:26] Adam: Well, that clears that up.
[1:20:27 – 1:20:27] Erik: Thanks for clearing that up.
[1:20:28 – 1:20:29] Erik: Failure three.
[1:20:31 – 1:20:35] Erik: Glendaloo State Park is one of our favorites for a long weekend trip.
[1:20:36 – 1:20:41] Erik: Easily accessible from the cities in the Alexandria slash Fergus Falls area.
[1:20:42 – 1:20:48] Erik: It has a cart-in campground that is well spaced out, along with a few canoe, hike-in sites, and yurts.
[1:20:50 – 1:20:51] Erik: Yurts are always fun.
[1:20:51 – 1:20:54] Erik: You don’t have to worry about any noisy generators.
[1:20:54 – 1:21:00] Erik: God, do not get me started on noisy generators or cars driving through the campground area.
[1:21:01 – 1:21:06] Erik: We’ve also had good luck finding availability compared to other state parks.
[1:21:07 – 1:21:10] Erik: Annie Battle Lake is a designated heritage lake.
[1:21:11 – 1:21:20] Erik: They don’t allow motors or electronics of any kind, including fish finders or augers, combined with some sensible fishing restrictions.
[1:21:21 – 1:21:27] Erik: We’ve always done well fishing with minimal effort, with good size and numbers for both bream and largemouth.
[1:21:28 – 1:21:29] Erik: Bream!
[1:21:30 – 1:21:30] Erik: Bream weaver.
[1:21:31 – 1:21:33] Erik: The water clarity is exceptional as well.
[1:21:33 – 1:21:38] Erik: When swimming and or floating, you can make out the green ears of the bream.
[1:21:39 – 1:21:40] Erik: Swimming.
[1:21:40 – 1:21:42] Erik: Coming to check out the commotion.
[1:21:42 – 1:21:42] Adam: That’s right.
[1:21:43 – 1:21:43] Adam: They’re coming to…
[1:21:44 – 1:21:45] Adam: They’re looking for Santa.
[1:21:46 – 1:21:46] UNKNOWN: Yes.
[1:21:46 – 1:21:49] Erik: The park is at the transition line between Northwoods and Prairie.
[1:21:50 – 1:22:01] Erik: You still feel like you’re out in the woods with significant mature growth, but has some gorgeous prairie landscapes in addition, with enough hikes slash lookouts to keep you busy over three to four days.
[1:22:01 – 1:22:07] Erik: It’s far enough away from any major cities that we had excellent views of the Milky Way when the moon is not intruding too much.
[1:22:08 – 1:22:22] Erik: While it doesn’t compare to the BWCA for remoteness or wilderness, it is an excellent option to get that similar feeling of just you and nature without a significant amount of effort.
[1:22:24 – 1:22:24] Adam: Yeah.
[1:22:24 – 1:22:28] Erik: A couple of decent little suggestions there that I’ve never heard of.
[1:22:28 – 1:22:29] Adam: That’s what you’re looking for.
[1:22:31 – 1:22:33] Erik: Something new.
[1:22:33 – 1:22:35] Erik: The Chinese Wabakimi.
[1:22:36 – 1:22:37] Adam: The Kentucky Wabakimi.
[1:22:37 – 1:22:38] Adam: The Kentucky Wabakimi.
[1:22:38 – 1:22:39] Adam: Yeah, that’s right.
[1:22:39 – 1:22:44] Adam: Next up on the show, old friend of the show, old canoe guy.
[1:22:47 – 1:22:54] Adam: I like kayaking the Brule River between Highway 189 and Patonga Road State.
[1:22:54 – 1:22:55] Adam: Jesus, Lord.
[1:22:55 – 1:22:57] Erik: Take it over.
[1:22:59 – 1:23:01] Adam: These lights are messing with me.
[1:23:01 – 1:23:02] Erik: You want me to turn them off?
[1:23:02 – 1:23:03] Erik: No, no, no.
[1:23:03 – 1:23:05] Erik: You want me to sync them to your voice again?
[1:23:05 – 1:23:07] Adam: No, just speed them up a little bit.
[1:23:08 – 1:23:10] Adam: Next up on the show, Old Canoe Guy.
[1:23:11 – 1:23:12] Adam: There we go.
[1:23:13 – 1:23:13] Adam: Can’t handle it.
[1:23:14 – 1:23:22] Adam: I like kayaking the Brule River between Highway 189 in Patoga Road Takeout in the middle of nowhere.
[1:23:23 – 1:23:28] Adam: This is the Brule that makes the border between Michigan and Wisconsin not the more famous one.
[1:23:29 – 1:23:30] Adam: Okay.
[1:23:31 – 1:23:32] Adam: Thank you for cleaning that up, Bill.
[1:23:32 – 1:23:34] Adam: Next time, tell us where you are.
[1:23:35 – 1:23:44] Adam: Also, my family and I have been to 56 of the national parks, and we always try to get into wilderness areas at them to get away from the maddening crowds.
[1:23:44 – 1:23:48] Adam: Every wilderness area is great and special in its way.
[1:23:48 – 1:23:57] Adam: Not really having a favorite, if I had anyone outside of the national parks, it would be the Guia Wilderness Area in New Mexico.
[1:23:57 – 1:23:58] Erik: Guia?
[1:23:58 – 1:23:59] Adam: Guia?
[1:24:00 – 1:24:22] Adam: yes yes thank you all right um i’m still not sure what the pentoga road is but uh we all like the the lesser brule of course the lesser brule in french it means burnt next up on the show jay dat first time caller
[1:24:23 – 1:24:24] Erik: Yeah, I think so.
[1:24:25 – 1:24:26] Erik: Long time, first time.
[1:24:27 – 1:24:28] Adam: Never heard of your show.
[1:24:29 – 1:24:30] Adam: Just checking in.
[1:24:30 – 1:24:32] Adam: And welcome to the show, JDAT.
[1:24:33 – 1:24:36] Adam: The wilderness area I am the most in.
[1:24:37 – 1:24:38] Adam: Jesus, what is happening right now?
[1:24:39 – 1:24:41] Erik: I’m just going to turn the lights off.
[1:24:42 – 1:24:44] Erik: Oh, they’re going crazy now.
[1:24:44 – 1:24:50] Adam: The wilderness area I am in the most is the Mississippi, mostly in Pool 5A or 6.
[1:24:50 – 1:24:52] Adam: They have them broken down to 5A.
[1:24:52 – 1:24:54] Erik: Yeah, they really don’t do a fun job.
[1:24:54 – 1:25:00] Erik: I mean, at a certain point, you end up with so many pools, you just got to start numbering them and then sub numbering them.
[1:25:03 – 1:25:26] Adam: no doubt a hard working busy and sometimes dirty river but for a 10 minute drive from town has so many areas you can find off the beaten path that anyone with a motor can’t get to that it feels like you have the whole river all to yourself the flip side is dealing with chads on jet skis Ken in a pontoon and Bubba in a mud boat
[1:25:27 – 1:25:34] Adam: all of whom pretend to not see you or actively revel in throwing the largest wake possible five feet from you.
[1:25:35 – 1:25:45] Adam: Non-canoing based, there are some hidden gem state parks like Frontenac and Great River Bluffs for decent, albeit limited, amounts of hiking.
[1:25:45 – 1:25:54] Adam: Farther away, one of my favorite wilderness areas I’ve ever been to and hope to return for a longer trip was Point Reyes National Seashore.
[1:25:54 – 1:26:01] Adam: I also loved Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Northern Dakota.
[1:26:02 – 1:26:05] Adam: It is what Badlands National Park wishes it could be.
[1:26:05 – 1:26:07] Adam: Boom, shots fired.
[1:26:08 – 1:26:09] Erik: Oh, my.
[1:26:09 – 1:26:09] Adam: There you go.
[1:26:10 – 1:26:14] Erik: I just spent a little bit of time at both of those units.
[1:26:15 – 1:26:16] Erik: Thank you for the comment.
[1:26:16 – 1:26:19] Erik: Both the North Dakota unit and the South Dakota unit.
[1:26:21 – 1:26:23] Adam: Never heard of the Frontenac.
[1:26:23 – 1:26:24] Adam: I got to check the Frontenac.
[1:26:24 – 1:26:29] Erik: Yeah, and the North and South unit in North Dakota.
[1:26:29 – 1:26:31] Erik: Technically, there’s three units there.
[1:26:32 – 1:26:36] Adam: Are you telling me motorboats are purposely swamping you?
[1:26:37 – 1:26:37] Adam: Is this what’s happening?
[1:26:38 – 1:26:45] Erik: Well, what I would love to see is let’s crank out some memes there, people.
[1:26:45 – 1:26:52] Erik: The memes have been a little light lately on the subreddit, and that’s probably just our fault.
[1:26:53 – 1:26:56] Erik: What are the best names associated with watercrafts?
[1:26:58 – 1:27:01] Erik: Because I feel like we got a little bit of a hint there.
[1:27:01 – 1:27:01] Adam: Ken in the pontoon.
[1:27:02 – 1:27:02] Erik: From J-Dat.
[1:27:03 – 1:27:04] Adam: Yeah, we got Ken.
[1:27:04 – 1:27:05] Erik: Ken equals pontoon.
[1:27:05 – 1:27:07] Erik: Bubba equals mud bug.
[1:27:07 – 1:27:08] Adam: Chad is the jet skier.
[1:27:08 – 1:27:08] Adam: Yeah.
[1:27:09 – 1:27:12] Erik: What about like who’s on the wave runner?
[1:27:12 – 1:27:14] Erik: That’s probably like a Jackson with an X.
[1:27:15 – 1:27:16] Erik: What?
[1:27:16 – 1:27:21] Erik: Backwards hat wearing those big neon shades you see the kids wearing these days.
[1:27:21 – 1:27:22] Erik: Yeah, yeah.
[1:27:22 – 1:27:24] Erik: The big Jose Canseco early 90s.
[1:27:25 – 1:27:26] Adam: Yeah, the Karchkarais.
[1:27:26 – 1:27:28] Erik: The big juicer glasses.
[1:27:28 – 1:27:28] Adam: Yeah, yeah.
[1:27:28 – 1:27:35] Erik: I’m trying to think of some other names that equivalent to certain kinds of watercraft.
[1:27:36 – 1:27:38] Erik: What’s the name associated with…
[1:27:38 – 1:27:40] Erik: I feel like stand-up paddle boards.
[1:27:40 – 1:27:41] Erik: That’s like a Brody.
[1:27:42 – 1:27:43] Adam: Aspen.
[1:27:45 – 1:27:45] Erik: Aspen.
[1:27:45 – 1:27:46] Erik: Aspen.
[1:27:46 – 1:27:47] Erik: With a Y.
[1:27:48 – 1:27:50] Adam: Get down from that board, Aspen.
[1:27:50 – 1:27:52] Erik: Yeah, let’s associate.
[1:27:52 – 1:27:53] Erik: Let’s blanket.
[1:27:54 – 1:27:55] Adam: This is fun.
[1:27:55 – 1:27:57] Erik: Yeah, let’s generalize as hard as possible.
[1:27:57 – 1:27:58] Adam: Gonna have a good chuckle.
[1:27:59 – 1:28:00] Adam: Yeah, names with watercraft.
[1:28:01 – 1:28:07] Erik: Who’s the… Yeah, the rooster tail, the cigarette boat.
[1:28:08 – 1:28:12] Erik: That’s probably like a… Oh, that’s… Randy.
[1:28:12 – 1:28:13] Erik: No, no.
[1:28:13 – 1:28:16] Erik: I’m thinking that’s like a… That’s a…
[1:28:17 – 1:28:20] Erik: It’s kind of like maybe an Italian name.
[1:28:21 – 1:28:24] Erik: Like Anastasio.
[1:28:27 – 1:28:27] Adam: Mario.
[1:28:27 – 1:28:28] Erik: Mario.
[1:28:28 – 1:28:29] Erik: Mario.
[1:28:29 – 1:28:32] Erik: Mario’s driving the cigarette boat with the big rooster tail.
[1:28:33 – 1:28:36] Erik: And then there’s just like the houseboat.
[1:28:36 – 1:28:38] Adam: Mario Gorlami.
[1:28:39 – 1:28:39] Erik: Gorlami.
[1:28:40 – 1:28:42] Erik: There’s so many different kinds of… How do you say that?
[1:28:42 – 1:28:43] Erik: Gorlami.
[1:28:43 – 1:28:43] Erik: Gorlami.
[1:28:44 – 1:28:46] Erik: There’s so many different kinds of boats out there.
[1:28:48 – 1:28:50] Adam: I like the pontoon myself.
[1:28:50 – 1:28:54] Adam: In particular, if I’m not in a canoe, it’s a pontoon for me.
[1:28:55 – 1:28:57] Erik: Yeah, Ken’s fine.
[1:28:57 – 1:29:01] Erik: I think it’s got to be a single syllable name.
[1:29:01 – 1:29:02] Erik: Ken, Chet.
[1:29:02 – 1:29:03] Adam: Yeah, not Kenneth.
[1:29:03 – 1:29:04] Erik: Ted.
[1:29:06 – 1:29:08] Erik: Because, you know, everybody’s always yelling at the guy driving the pontoon.
[1:29:09 – 1:29:10] Erik: Come on, Chet.
[1:29:11 – 1:29:12] Erik: What are you doing, Chet?
[1:29:12 – 1:29:13] Erik: I’m still like Dodd.
[1:29:13 – 1:29:14] Erik: Dodd.
[1:29:14 – 1:29:14] Adam: Dodd.
[1:29:15 – 1:29:16] Adam: Dodd.
[1:29:18 – 1:29:23] Erik: Well, there’s a whole bingo card we could build out of names associated with certain watercrafts.
[1:29:23 – 1:29:25] Erik: We got a comment here from Amateur.
[1:29:25 – 1:29:26] Adam: Put up the awning.
[1:29:26 – 1:29:28] Adam: Chet, it’s time to put up the awning.
[1:29:28 – 1:29:29] Erik: Dodd.
[1:29:29 – 1:29:30] Erik: It’s two in the afternoon.
[1:29:30 – 1:29:31] Erik: Put the awning out.
[1:29:32 – 1:29:33] Erik: Amateur camper.
[1:29:35 – 1:29:38] Erik: With our mid-September trip looking highly unlikely.
[1:29:40 – 1:29:41] Adam: I don’t know about that.
[1:29:41 – 1:29:42] Erik: Maybe not.
[1:29:43 – 1:29:43] Erik: Maybe.
[1:29:44 – 1:29:44] Erik: Maybe not.
[1:29:45 – 1:29:50] Erik: We’ve decided to try a trip near our cabin in the Aiken, Minnesota area.
[1:29:51 – 1:29:57] Erik: We plan to paddle down a section in the Mississippi River, starting about 20 mile, 20 river miles.
[1:29:58 – 1:29:59] Adam: That’s in quotes.
[1:29:59 – 1:30:01] Adam: That’s two river crans.
[1:30:01 – 1:30:03] Erik: Yeah, how many crans is that?
[1:30:03 – 1:30:04] Adam: How many crans per mile?
[1:30:06 – 1:30:12] Erik: Northeast of Aiken, winding our way down to a campground on the north end of town that is on the banks of the river.
[1:30:12 – 1:30:15] Erik: Not a wilderness trip, but it’s a change.
[1:30:15 – 1:30:20] Erik: I think we’re both a little rusty today.
[1:30:20 – 1:30:22] Adam: I can’t read today at all.
[1:30:22 – 1:30:29] Erik: Not a wilderness trip but it is a chance to still get some paddling in and try something different that we’ve only ever talked about doing.
[1:30:30 – 1:30:36] Erik: Plus if we get bored we can lean into the fact that we’re camping in town and walk to the brewery or the disc golf course.
[1:30:37 – 1:30:38] Adam: There you go.
[1:30:38 – 1:30:40] Erik: Nice.
[1:30:41 – 1:30:45] Erik: Amateur camper responded to themselves.
[1:30:45 – 1:30:49] Erik: And I’m going to give you another wine bag just for doing that.
[1:30:50 – 1:30:53] Erik: And just after posting this, they opened the park back up.
[1:30:53 – 1:30:56] Erik: So I guess the Mississippi trip will just have to wait for another year.
[1:30:56 – 1:31:04] Erik: Well, it’s probably a good thing for you to actually hit up that permit that you intended on taking advantage of.
[1:31:04 – 1:31:06] Erik: The disc golf course can wait.
[1:31:06 – 1:31:07] Adam: Yeah, they’re always there.
[1:31:07 – 1:31:08] Adam: It’s funny, though.
[1:31:08 – 1:31:11] Adam: Yeah, you’re like, I changed my plans, and now it’s back open.
[1:31:11 – 1:31:12] Adam: Like, I don’t know.
[1:31:12 – 1:31:13] Adam: I’m kind of mildly disappointed.
[1:31:13 – 1:31:15] Adam: Yeah, I was looking forward to just drinking.
[1:31:15 – 1:31:19] Adam: I was looking forward to one of these other weird parks, and now I got to go back to Malbec.
[1:31:20 – 1:31:21] Adam: Time to our last two comments.
[1:31:23 – 1:31:28] Adam: friend of the show, paddling hoedag with one box of Franzia.
[1:31:28 – 1:31:33] Adam: To me, the definition of a wilderness extends beyond the definition of what most people think of.
[1:31:34 – 1:31:42] Adam: It looks like most of the well-known wilderness areas are covered, so I’d like to offer some of my own ideas of what defines a wilderness.
[1:31:43 – 1:31:53] Adam: A lot of my paddling adventures have taken place in wilderness areas that are not traditionally seen as wilderness areas on stretches of water such as the Black, Rat, and Wisconsin Rivers.
[1:31:54 – 1:31:55] Erik: The Black Rat?
[1:31:55 – 1:32:00] Adam: No, these are three different… Yeah, Black, Rat, and Wisconsin Rivers.
[1:32:00 – 1:32:01] Adam: Okay.
[1:32:01 – 1:32:16] Adam: Paddling into backwater bays surrounding by mostly inaccessible private lands or portaging through a farm field to get to a section that only a handful of people have ever seen gives me just as much joy as going to more well-known wilderness areas.
[1:32:17 – 1:32:22] Adam: There are places all around the U.S. where you might be the first person in 50 years to experience it.
[1:32:23 – 1:32:30] Adam: Even if it involved paddling through a storm culvert or wrecking a grumman down a shallow rocky river in the middle of nowhere to get there.
[1:32:31 – 1:32:32] Adam: Stealth camping, anyone?
[1:32:35 – 1:32:36] Adam: Oh, yes.
[1:32:37 – 1:32:39] Adam: Don’t even get me started on stealth camping YouTube.
[1:32:40 – 1:32:45] Adam: But I have been to the Black and the Wisconsin rivers, but never, never have I been to the Rat River.
[1:32:46 – 1:32:50] Adam: Although it is in my book of Wisconsin rivers to enjoy.
[1:32:51 – 1:32:51] Adam: The rat.
[1:32:52 – 1:32:53] Adam: I believe so.
[1:32:54 – 1:32:56] Erik: Have you ever been to the rat river?
[1:32:56 – 1:32:58] Erik: Yeah, you’ve never been to the rat, but I have.
[1:32:59 – 1:32:59] Erik: You’ve been to the rat.
[1:33:00 – 1:33:01] Erik: I have not.
[1:33:01 – 1:33:03] Adam: I have not been to the rat.
[1:33:04 – 1:33:05] Adam: I’ve been to the rat river.
[1:33:06 – 1:33:07] Adam: Take me to the rat.
[1:33:07 – 1:33:09] Erik: It’s sort of not there.
[1:33:09 – 1:33:12] Adam: Put me in the rat’s nest.
[1:33:13 – 1:33:13] Adam: Oh.
[1:33:14 – 1:33:14] Adam: This is Tumble Home.
[1:33:15 – 1:33:16] Adam: After dark.
[1:33:18 – 1:33:18] Adam: Oh.
[1:33:18 – 1:33:19] Adam: Oh.
[1:33:22 – 1:33:22] Erik: Last comment.
[1:33:23 – 1:33:23] Adam: I got it.
[1:33:23 – 1:33:24] Adam: I got it.
[1:33:24 – 1:33:24] Adam: You got it?
[1:33:24 – 1:33:27] Adam: Last comment of the episode and the series.
[1:33:28 – 1:33:30] Adam: and friend of the show, Canada Bulls.
[1:33:33 – 1:33:43] Adam: Since my BWCA entry permit for Clearwater was cancelled due to the forest fires, I relocated for the week to Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario.
[1:33:43 – 1:33:48] Adam: I paddled there a lot in high school and college, but haven’t been back in 20 years.
[1:33:49 – 1:33:52] Adam: It was a spectacular week with fantastic weather.
[1:33:53 – 1:33:57] Adam: I paddled big lakes, little lakes, creeks, marsh and river,
[1:33:57 – 1:33:59] Adam: Campfires every night.
[1:33:59 – 1:34:04] Adam: I even met a group of women who introduced themselves to me as BWCA refugees.
[1:34:05 – 1:34:07] Erik: Same fate, same relocation.
[1:34:08 – 1:34:12] Adam: It is well worth the detour drive if you still want to paddle.
[1:34:13 – 1:34:16] Adam: The same Canadian Shield type of topography as BWCA.
[1:34:17 – 1:34:19] Adam: There are free online canoe route maps.
[1:34:20 – 1:34:21] Adam: Jeff’s maps.
[1:34:22 – 1:34:22] Adam: Jeff?
[1:34:22 – 1:34:24] Adam: So you can start dreaming and planning.
[1:34:25 – 1:34:29] Adam: You will need to learn to convert your portage lengths from meters to rods.
[1:34:31 – 1:34:32] Adam: Well, that’s fine.
[1:34:32 – 1:34:34] Erik: Yeah, we’re used to that from the Chris Marr.
[1:34:34 – 1:34:35] Adam: Yes, I know.
[1:34:35 – 1:34:36] Adam: I am Canadian.
[1:34:37 – 1:34:41] Adam: Bring your Wanagon and enjoy your paddling adventure.
[1:34:41 – 1:34:43] Adam: Thank you, Canadian Bull, for the idea.
[1:34:44 – 1:34:49] Adam: Also, thank you, Jeff, for Jeff’s Maps, our new friend of the show.
[1:34:50 – 1:34:51] Adam: Jeff’s Maps.
[1:34:51 – 1:34:52] Adam: Jeff’s Maps.
[1:34:52 – 1:34:53] Adam: What are your favorite maps?
[1:34:54 – 1:34:56] Adam: All my homies love Jeff’s maps.
[1:34:59 – 1:35:00] Adam: Yeah.
[1:35:00 – 1:35:01] Adam: Jeff.
[1:35:02 – 1:35:03] Adam: I’ve never heard of this.
[1:35:03 – 1:35:03] Adam: Have you?
[1:35:03 – 1:35:04] Adam: Have you heard of this?
[1:35:04 – 1:35:05] Adam: The Algonquin?
[1:35:06 – 1:35:33] Adam: yes of course I’ve heard of Algonquin but I’ve never heard of Jeff’s maps what about the group of women refugees same fate same relocation I’ve definitely heard of them this is exciting I feel like we’re just this is just like the introductory paragraph to a to the first chapter of a novel could be yeah this could be a novel Canada Bowl gotta write keep writing I love it
[1:35:34 – 1:35:38] Adam: All right, that concludes the thread.
[1:35:38 – 1:35:39] Adam: Good night.
[1:35:39 – 1:35:40] Adam: As they say, and we’re out of here.
[1:35:40 – 1:35:41] Adam: All right.
[1:35:41 – 1:35:45] Adam: Yeah, that was pretty good.
[1:35:45 – 1:35:48] Adam: A lot of good suggestions on there.
[1:35:48 – 1:35:51] Adam: Nobody’s talking about paddling in China, and I guess it’s just not a thing.
[1:35:51 – 1:35:57] Adam: And how would you get your Min 2 all over to China with a duck with a sombrero on the helm?
[1:35:57 – 1:35:58] Adam: Probably not going to happen.
[1:35:59 – 1:35:59] Erik: Yeah.
[1:35:59 – 1:36:23] Adam: probably not gonna happen i want to check out the rat river for sure i gotta check out las vegas i gotta check out the wind river range gotta check out las vegas gotta check out wabakimi and the okafanoki swamp in georgia for sure what happened to wendell beckwith where is the moose boulder
[1:36:24 – 1:36:25] Erik: And just save all of our money up.
[1:36:26 – 1:36:36] Erik: And then we throw this thing on a camper van next June and hit Wabakimi, Algonquin, and Woodland Caribou over the course of a month.
[1:36:36 – 1:36:37] Erik: The triple.
[1:36:38 – 1:36:39] Erik: The triplicate.
[1:36:40 – 1:36:40] Adam: Wow.
[1:36:40 – 1:36:41] Adam: We could do it.
[1:36:41 – 1:36:41] Adam: Could we?
[1:36:41 – 1:36:45] Adam: As long as we had these lights with us, we could do anything.
[1:36:45 – 1:36:52] Erik: I mean, these lights do give me an odd sense of power.
[1:36:55 – 1:36:55] Erik: And excitement.
[1:36:57 – 1:36:59] Adam: Yeah, they both calm and energize.
[1:37:00 – 1:37:02] Erik: Yeah, well, there was a couple of scary moments with them earlier.
[1:37:04 – 1:37:10] Erik: I feel like they were reading my thoughts and almost speaking to me before I was actually saying anything.
[1:37:10 – 1:37:11] Adam: Gordy, turn off the lights.
[1:37:12 – 1:37:13] Adam: I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dodd.
[1:37:14 – 1:37:14] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:37:16 – 1:37:16] Erik: Gordy, no.
[1:37:17 – 1:37:17] Erik: God.
[1:37:17 – 1:37:18] Erik: Oh, no.
[1:37:18 – 1:37:19] Adam: Gordy’s become sentient.
[1:37:19 – 1:37:21] Erik: We’ve got a Hal situation happening here.
[1:37:21 – 1:37:22] Adam: I think so.
[1:37:22 – 1:37:23] Adam: I think so.
[1:37:23 – 1:37:23] Adam: Add it to the list.
[1:37:23 – 1:37:25] Adam: It’s only a matter of time.
[1:37:26 – 1:37:29] Adam: Tumble Home, now sponsored by Gordy’s Hive Mind.
[1:37:30 – 1:37:30] Adam: Yes.
[1:37:31 – 1:37:36] Adam: All of Reddit’s knowledge into one small duck covered in party lights.
[1:37:37 – 1:37:38] Adam: Yeah, that was exciting.
[1:37:39 – 1:37:40] Adam: And what are we going to do next week?
[1:37:41 – 1:37:43] Adam: Lake review, perhaps?
[1:37:43 – 1:37:46] Erik: Back to full-blown, just all barge waters.
[1:37:47 – 1:37:49] Adam: Get a lake review in there, possibly, I would hope.
[1:37:49 – 1:37:53] Adam: And coming up in a few weeks, for sure, the Mind of the Raven.
[1:37:53 – 1:38:00] Adam: A dive into the mind of the smartest bird in the North Country, and in the world, probably.
[1:38:01 – 1:38:03] Erik: I’ll show you the Mind of the Raven.
[1:38:04 – 1:38:04] Adam: That’s right.
[1:38:06 – 1:38:12] Adam: That’s something we’re definitely having the hopper in the near future now as we approach October.
[1:38:13 – 1:38:21] Adam: Of course, if you’re on Patreon, you’re going to be able to enjoy dirty work on the next episode of Tumble Home Cinema Classics.
[1:38:21 – 1:38:27] Erik: I think you will most likely enjoy it, but there’s no guarantee.
[1:38:27 – 1:38:28] Adam: I enjoyed it.
[1:38:29 – 1:38:31] Erik: No, enjoy our comments on it.
[1:38:31 – 1:38:33] Adam: Oh, yeah, for sure you’re going to enjoy that.
[1:38:33 – 1:38:36] Adam: I mean, honestly, sometimes the worse the movie is, the better the comments.
[1:38:38 – 1:38:39] Erik: It walks a fine line.
[1:38:39 – 1:38:41] Adam: Yeah, it’s interesting how that works.
[1:38:42 – 1:38:48] Adam: And, yeah, I would say almost likely at this point we’re going to go with Beauty and the Beast.
[1:38:50 – 1:38:51] Adam: What is going on with that rose petal?
[1:38:52 – 1:38:53] Adam: Is it going to drop?
[1:38:53 – 1:39:02] Adam: Will we ever find true love and allow the beauty within the beast to reveal itself?
[1:39:03 – 1:39:09] Erik: Well, there is no such thing anymore as a guaranteed Humble Home Cinema Classics mandate.
[1:39:09 – 1:39:10] Erik: It seems like those can change.
[1:39:10 – 1:39:11] Erik: It’s two weeks away at least.
[1:39:11 – 1:39:12] Adam: Drop of a hat.
[1:39:12 – 1:39:14] Adam: You never know what’s going to happen.
[1:39:14 – 1:39:16] Adam: Who’s going to die in the next two weeks for one?
[1:39:16 – 1:39:21] Erik: Yeah, we should just base all of our cinema classics on the deaths of celebrities.
[1:39:21 – 1:39:26] Adam: Current events and where Geomagnetic North even points in two weeks.
[1:39:27 – 1:39:27] Adam: Who knows?
[1:39:27 – 1:39:27] Adam: Who knows?
[1:39:27 – 1:39:28] Adam: Who knows?
[1:39:30 – 1:39:31] Adam: All right.
[1:39:31 – 1:39:36] Adam: Well, I think that’ll bring us to the conclusion of episode 0162.
[1:39:36 – 1:39:39] Adam: Eric’s going to crank up the lights here for the finale.
[1:39:40 – 1:39:50] Adam: Big shout out to the big double IPA, Tanner and… Lost the thing here.
[1:39:50 – 1:39:51] Adam: I think it’s Tanner and Steve.
[1:39:52 – 1:39:53] Adam: God bless you.
[1:39:54 – 1:39:57] Adam: The beers and really enjoyed them a bunch.
[1:40:00 – 1:40:02] Adam: Oh, we’re getting… Nice.
[1:40:03 – 1:40:05] Adam: New sound system here in the studio.
[1:40:05 – 1:40:09] Adam: Do you think the lights are doing okay?
[1:40:11 – 1:40:12] Adam: They’re definitely synced up.
[1:40:15 – 1:40:21] Erik: Yeah, this is a shout out to the Gila National Wilderness.
[1:40:21 – 1:40:22] Erik: Gila.
[1:40:22 – 1:40:23] Erik: Gila.
[1:40:23 – 1:40:24] Erik: Down there in New Mexico.
[1:40:26 – 1:40:26] Erik: Wow.
[1:40:26 – 1:40:26] Erik: Wow.
[1:40:27 – 1:40:29] Erik: Thanks for listening, everybody.
[1:40:29 – 1:40:31] Erik: Happy footing.
[1:40:32 – 1:40:32] Erik: Happy budding.
[1:40:33 – 1:40:34] Erik: Happy backing.
[1:40:35 – 1:40:45] Erik: And next week, for sure, back to happy paddling as the Bouncy Waters is our oyster once again.
[1:40:46 – 1:40:48] Erik: Just don’t bobby it up.
[1:40:48 – 1:40:49] Erik: Let’s keep it that way.
[1:40:50 – 1:40:52] Adam: Yeah, don’t ken this thing.
[1:40:52 – 1:40:53] Erik: Don’t ken it up.
[1:40:54 – 1:40:59] Adam: Just sit and be still on your butt in the tree stand.
[1:40:59 – 1:41:01] Adam: What you’ve done.
[1:41:01 – 1:41:04] UNKNOWN: What you’ve done.
[1:41:27 – 1:41:43] Erik: I don’t really know if those lights are following all that great, but…
[1:41:43 – 1:41:45] Adam: I don’t know if they are, honestly.
[1:41:46 – 1:41:47] Adam: No, they are, for sure.
[1:41:48 – 1:41:50] Adam: I mean… Yeah.
[1:41:51 – 1:41:51] Erik: Ha!
[1:41:52 – 1:41:52] Erik: You!
[1:41:53 – 1:41:54] Erik: Yeah!
[1:41:54 – 1:41:55] Erik: Hello!
