[0:00:44 – 0:00:47] Erik: Hey, Boundary Waters Podcasts.
[0:00:49 – 0:00:53] Erik: It’s the spooky season, and it’s spooky out there.
[0:00:54 – 0:00:54] Erik: Yee.
[0:00:55 – 0:00:57] Erik: There’s a skeleton on the can.
[0:00:58 – 0:01:01] Erik: There’s fog in the trees, and my name…
[0:01:02 – 0:01:09] Erik: is Eric, joined as always by my top hat-wearing, skeleton-faced good friend, Adam.
[0:01:09 – 0:01:09] Erik: Hello.
[0:01:09 – 0:01:11] Erik: Hello.
[0:01:11 – 0:01:13] Adam: I’m also wearing assless chaps.
[0:01:14 – 0:01:14] Adam: Always.
[0:01:15 – 0:01:16] Adam: As always.
[0:01:16 – 0:01:17] Adam: As always.
[0:01:17 – 0:01:19] Erik: Might explain the rash.
[0:01:22 – 0:01:23] Adam: Welcome to Tumble Home.
[0:01:23 – 0:01:24] Erik: That’s how you get pink eye.
[0:01:26 – 0:01:27] Adam: From assless chaps?
[0:01:28 – 0:01:28] Adam: Yeah.
[0:01:28 – 0:01:29] Erik: I don’t think so.
[0:01:29 – 0:01:30] Erik: The other eye.
[0:01:31 – 0:01:32] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:01:32 – 0:01:32] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:01:32 – 0:01:35] Erik: Till home after dark.
[0:01:35 – 0:01:40] Erik: Already coming to you, as always, from the shed.
[0:01:41 – 0:01:41] Erik: Shed?
[0:01:41 – 0:01:42] Erik: Shed?
[0:01:42 – 0:01:42] Erik: Shed?
[0:01:44 – 0:01:46] Erik: The haunted shed, as it were.
[0:01:47 – 0:01:50] Adam: It’s the coziest haunted shed in North America.
[0:01:50 – 0:01:54] Erik: I feel so safe in here with the mushrooms growing out of the ground.
[0:01:55 – 0:01:58] Adam: Yeah, that’s one of the best features of the old dirt floor.
[0:01:58 – 0:02:00] Adam: It’s filled with spores.
[0:02:00 – 0:02:04] Adam: Sometimes you get some spores and live fungus.
[0:02:04 – 0:02:05] Erik: Live fungi.
[0:02:05 – 0:02:06] Adam: Is it live, though?
[0:02:08 – 0:02:09] Adam: Is fungus intelligent?
[0:02:10 – 0:02:10] Adam: Definitely not.
[0:02:10 – 0:02:12] Adam: I don’t think so.
[0:02:12 – 0:02:13] Adam: Coming up next week.
[0:02:14 – 0:02:14] Adam: Question of the week.
[0:02:15 – 0:02:16] Adam: Mind of the fungus.
[0:02:17 – 0:02:19] Erik: Mind of the fun guys.
[0:02:20 – 0:02:23] Erik: Well, I mean, a couple of fun guys here coming at you.
[0:02:24 – 0:02:29] Erik: Sponsored and brought to you as always by our friends on Patreon.
[0:02:30 – 0:02:36] Erik: I swear on… On the Eagle Cup, I would…
[0:02:36 – 0:02:41] Erik: All my moms are still alive, so I can’t swear on any graves.
[0:02:41 – 0:02:53] Erik: I swear on Scroggie’s grave that T-shirts are being processed and in the mail because technically I’m still homeless.
[0:02:54 – 0:02:56] Adam: And it’s tough to get to the post office.
[0:02:56 – 0:03:00] Adam: The post office is also in disarray, I would say.
[0:03:00 – 0:03:00] Adam: Shambles.
[0:03:02 – 0:03:02] Erik: Well, I don’t know.
[0:03:02 – 0:03:03] Erik: It’s not in shambles.
[0:03:03 – 0:03:05] Adam: Actually, well, not the one in Grand Marais, though.
[0:03:05 – 0:03:06] Adam: They’re good.
[0:03:06 – 0:03:06] Adam: Top notch.
[0:03:07 – 0:03:07] Adam: Yeah.
[0:03:07 – 0:03:09] Adam: Our post office has got it together.
[0:03:09 – 0:03:11] Adam: It’s all those other post offices.
[0:03:11 – 0:03:12] Erik: Yeah.
[0:03:12 – 0:03:17] Erik: Anybody that has signed up since August, I can assure you I am still aware that you exist.
[0:03:18 – 0:03:21] Erik: It’s happening within the next week, I promise you.
[0:03:22 – 0:03:23] Erik: We got to get those shirts out there.
[0:03:24 – 0:03:25] Erik: Grassroots marketing.
[0:03:26 – 0:03:27] Adam: Yeah.
[0:03:27 – 0:03:30] Adam: I still have yet to see another Tumble Home shirt in the wild.
[0:03:31 – 0:03:34] Erik: I saw one in the wild, but it was basically, it was a meetup with a listener.
[0:03:34 – 0:03:35] Erik: Well, that doesn’t count.
[0:03:35 – 0:03:36] Erik: No, I know.
[0:03:36 – 0:03:36] Erik: Yeah.
[0:03:36 – 0:03:38] Erik: Not just walking down the street.
[0:03:38 – 0:03:39] Erik: That would be wild.
[0:03:40 – 0:03:41] Erik: Anyway, thank you, patrons.
[0:03:41 – 0:03:49] Erik: It’s a spooky month, and we’re doing all, I mean, I don’t know if we’re doing all spooky movies on the Tumble Home Cinema Classics, but I’ve got my pick.
[0:03:49 – 0:03:50] Erik: Probably.
[0:03:50 – 0:03:53] Erik: And Adam is maybe going to follow suit.
[0:03:54 – 0:03:55] Erik: We’re going off the board.
[0:03:55 – 0:03:56] Erik: We’re never going to get all these movies off the board.
[0:03:57 – 0:03:57] Adam: You can’t keep going off the board.
[0:03:57 – 0:03:58] Erik: We’re never going to get through them.
[0:03:59 – 0:04:02] Erik: Well, there’s no spooky movies on there.
[0:04:02 – 0:04:05] Adam: Phantom Thread has the word phantom in the title, Eric.
[0:04:06 – 0:04:07] Erik: It does have the word phantom in it.
[0:04:08 – 0:04:09] Erik: But you can pick that.
[0:04:09 – 0:04:13] Adam: Yeah, you ever picture yourself doing a movie about haunted threads?
[0:04:14 – 0:04:16] Erik: I never thought there would ever be a movie about haunted threads.
[0:04:16 – 0:04:18] Erik: Is that the one where she kisses water?
[0:04:19 – 0:04:19] Erik: That’s the other one.
[0:04:21 – 0:04:22] Adam: Nodding vigorously.
[0:04:22 – 0:04:23] Adam: He’s nodding.
[0:04:24 – 0:04:24] Erik: Um, yeah.
[0:04:24 – 0:04:33] Erik: So, uh, I tried convincing you to watch this one last year because it is, I think one of my favorite spooky times.
[0:04:34 – 0:04:40] Erik: Um, and I’m going to tell you what it is now and purred happily style.
[0:04:40 – 0:04:41] Erik: Um,
[0:04:41 – 0:04:44] Adam: And this movie title is this.
[0:04:45 – 0:04:49] Erik: Actually, it’s the second one, but you don’t need to have seen the first one for it really to matter.
[0:04:50 – 0:04:51] Erik: And it is definitely the better one.
[0:04:51 – 0:04:55] Erik: So next week, you can look forward to Evil Dead 2.
[0:04:56 – 0:04:56] Adam: Oh, wow.
[0:04:56 – 0:04:57] Adam: All right.
[0:04:57 – 0:04:59] Adam: Yeah, I wanted to watch it last year.
[0:04:59 – 0:05:00] Erik: Heck yeah.
[0:05:00 – 0:05:02] Adam: Heck yeah.
[0:05:02 – 0:05:07] Erik: I know the last time I checked, it’s on Hulu, but I’m sure you can pay like $2 to watch it on YouTube.
[0:05:08 – 0:05:11] Erik: It is a wild ride.
[0:05:11 – 0:05:13] Adam: You don’t need to see Evil Dead 1?
[0:05:13 – 0:05:13] Adam: No.
[0:05:14 – 0:05:14] Erik: No.
[0:05:14 – 0:05:18] Erik: It’s basically the same movie, just like better.
[0:05:18 – 0:05:19] Erik: You can watch the first one if you want.
[0:05:20 – 0:05:21] Adam: It’s with lasers.
[0:05:22 – 0:05:22] Erik: Hmm.
[0:05:22 – 0:05:27] Adam: This is like when Tumble Home got the new lights.
[0:05:28 – 0:05:30] Adam: It’s still the same old show, but now they got lights.
[0:05:30 – 0:05:31] Adam: And you can sense them.
[0:05:31 – 0:05:33] Adam: And looks and feels way better.
[0:05:34 – 0:05:43] Erik: Yeah, so Evil Dead 2 next week, but we are after this light intro into a field recording episode.
[0:05:43 – 0:05:44] Erik: That’s right.
[0:05:44 – 0:06:00] Erik: We’re going to be, it’s a TumbleTunes, so we can look forward to probably the next few weeks consistent Patreon, $5 a month, Patreon content, TumbleTunes this week, and then hopefully Adam will decide on another spooky one for next week.
[0:06:01 – 0:06:02] Adam: Yeah, I’ll have to think about it, you know.
[0:06:03 – 0:06:08] Adam: I guess I’ll have to watch Evil Dead 2 and then think about it some and then make my pick, but…
[0:06:08 – 0:06:11] Erik: It’s feeling kind of Evil Dead-ish outside right now.
[0:06:11 – 0:06:12] Adam: How many Evil Deads are there?
[0:06:13 – 0:06:14] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:06:14 – 0:06:20] Erik: Yeah, we could do a whole series on Evil Dead if you wanted.
[0:06:20 – 0:06:22] Erik: Well, we’ll see how the first one goes.
[0:06:22 – 0:06:23] Erik: There’s for sure three.
[0:06:23 – 0:06:26] Erik: Depends on how far out you really want to go with it.
[0:06:26 – 0:06:28] Erik: But I feel like the second one is the best place to start.
[0:06:29 – 0:06:33] Erik: And I don’t want to say anything more to potentially spoil what the third one is about.
[0:06:33 – 0:06:35] Adam: Yeah, don’t say anything more.
[0:06:35 – 0:06:40] Erik: The first two are basically the same movie, and then the third one is just like an insane, like, what?
[0:06:40 – 0:06:42] Erik: Okay, I guess we’re doing this.
[0:06:42 – 0:06:42] Erik: Let’s go.
[0:06:42 – 0:06:44] Erik: Okay.
[0:06:45 – 0:06:50] Adam: Everybody else on Patreon, also thank you for listening to our fantasy hockey special.
[0:06:51 – 0:06:51] Erik: Yeah, thank you.
[0:06:51 – 0:06:52] Erik: I guess if that’s out there.
[0:06:52 – 0:06:55] Adam: If Eric ever puts it up, I think he’s going to put it up.
[0:06:56 – 0:07:01] Adam: We did record our entire fantasy hockey draft, including roasting all the teams.
[0:07:01 – 0:07:06] Adam: Shout out to Muddy Frogbottom.
[0:07:07 – 0:07:09] Erik: Acquired the name that we mandated.
[0:07:09 – 0:07:11] Adam: Had a couple new members.
[0:07:14 – 0:07:15] Adam: What’s Smooth Operators team name?
[0:07:15 – 0:07:16] Adam: Freaks and Deeks.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:20] Adam: Freaks and Deeks with a great picture, I think from The Shining.
[0:07:20 – 0:07:22] Erik: I think it’s Jack Nicholson freaking out.
[0:07:22 – 0:07:23] Adam: No, it’s from Cuckoo.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:24] Erik: Maybe.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:24] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:26] Erik: Looks like a little bit older, but I don’t know.
[0:07:26 – 0:07:30] Erik: It’s definitely a very wide-eyed and crazily smiling Jack Nicholson.
[0:07:30 – 0:07:32] Adam: Got a couple new ones in there.
[0:07:33 – 0:07:37] Adam: Of course, the Gibraltar Rock Apes are coming back for their second season.
[0:07:37 – 0:07:42] Adam: The original Tumble homie in the Poutine Deluxe League.
[0:07:43 – 0:07:45] Adam: And, yeah, it was a fun draft, so…
[0:07:45 – 0:07:47] Adam: That’ll be up there too on Patreon.
[0:07:47 – 0:07:48] Adam: If anybody’s interested.
[0:07:48 – 0:07:53] Erik: An hour and 15 minutes of straight rambling and long periods of silence.
[0:07:54 – 0:07:55] Adam: I don’t think there’s that many.
[0:07:56 – 0:08:01] Erik: There was a couple of bathroom breaks where I was like paying attention to what was going on and it was definitely dead air.
[0:08:02 – 0:08:03] Adam: Whatever.
[0:08:03 – 0:08:04] Adam: It’s up there for free.

[0:11:35 – 0:11:38] Erik: And sorry to anybody who is only on Facebook.
[0:11:38 – 0:11:40] Erik: I have all but abandoned that page.
[0:11:42 – 0:11:44] Erik: It’s just, you know, Facebook.
[0:11:45 – 0:11:45] Erik: I get a bad…

[0:11:47 – 0:11:48] Adam: You got to keep the Facebook for the selling swap.
[0:11:48 – 0:11:50] Adam: This gives me the chills every time I go on there.
[0:11:50 – 0:11:55] Adam: You might find a good deal on a set of rollerblades or a snowplow.
[0:11:55 – 0:11:56] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:56 – 0:11:57] Erik: Deals.
[0:11:57 – 0:12:03] Erik: There’s been some deals on furniture where I was like, if I had a pickup at my disposal, I’d go grab that right now and throw it in the shed.

[0:12:10 – 0:12:15] Adam: Got a whole grab bag of goodies here on the desk.
[0:12:15 – 0:12:18] Erik: I feel like we have to start with the beer drinker’s beer.
[0:12:19 – 0:12:29] Erik: And really, I feel a mild to moderate, mostly downing this beer after I crack it.
[0:12:30 – 0:12:35] Erik: Just say it looks like one of those beers that is meant to be almost shotgunned.
[0:12:36 – 0:12:40] Erik: But I’m going to read the light letter, a light shotgunning coming your way.
[0:12:40 – 0:12:41] Erik: Best gunned.

[0:12:56 – 0:12:59] Erik: But as a native of Pittsburgh, start with the palate-cleansing…
[0:13:00 – 0:13:21] Erik: iron city beer brewed from the crystal clear waters from the confluence of the ohio river you can almost taste the six super bowl championship wins if any taste buds survive enjoy two samples of indy’s taxman brewery appreciate the cast yada yada yada if you guys survive the uh
[0:13:21 – 0:13:29] Erik: Yeah, I’m assuming, I would hope to think that Shane Dog and Dave survived their trip out to Lake, to Knife Lake and Seagull.
[0:13:29 – 0:13:30] Erik: Lake Knife.
[0:13:30 – 0:13:31] Erik: Lake Knife.
[0:13:31 – 0:13:33] Erik: This is all the way from June 11th.
[0:13:34 – 0:13:34] Erik: Wow.
[0:13:35 – 0:13:36] Adam: Ancient history.
[0:13:37 – 0:13:39] Erik: Remember, I’m such a different person then.
[0:13:40 – 0:13:42] Erik: Well, thank you, Shane Dog and Dave.
[0:13:42 – 0:13:45] Erik: These beers have been in the fridge far too long.
[0:13:46 – 0:13:48] Erik: But we’re going to start with the beer drinker’s beer.
[0:13:48 – 0:13:49] Erik: I love the font.
[0:13:49 – 0:14:02] Erik: It’s very reminiscent to the American campground font, the newly introduced bi-weekly show of sad man’s ramblings from out west.
[0:14:03 – 0:14:05] Erik: Glad some of you have been enjoying it.
[0:14:06 – 0:14:07] Erik: I’m going to put this thing down.
[0:14:10 – 0:14:10] Erik: Cheers.
[0:14:11 – 0:14:11] Erik: Cheers.
[0:14:11 – 0:14:12] Erik: My good man.
[0:14:13 – 0:14:14] Adam: Tally-ho.
[0:14:19 – 0:14:30] Erik: Yeah, that’s a East Coast hams.
[0:14:30 – 0:14:32] Adam: Northern Appalachians hams, no?
[0:14:34 – 0:14:35] Adam: What did they say, it’s from Pittsburgh?
[0:14:35 – 0:14:36] Erik: Yeah.
[0:14:36 – 0:14:37] Adam: The Allegheny?
[0:14:38 – 0:14:40] Erik: The confluence of the Ohio River and what?
[0:14:41 – 0:14:42] Erik: What was the other river?
[0:14:42 – 0:14:45] Adam: I think it’s the Allegheny and the something else come together to make the Ohio.
[0:14:45 – 0:14:46] Adam: Is that how that one works?
[0:14:46 – 0:14:48] Adam: The Three Rivers area?
[0:14:48 – 0:14:49] Erik: Yeah.
[0:14:49 – 0:14:50] Adam: I’ve never been to Pittsburgh.
[0:14:50 – 0:14:52] Erik: That’s kind of the name of the stadium, isn’t it?
[0:14:52 – 0:14:53] Adam: Six Super Bowls.
[0:14:54 – 0:14:55] Adam: Pretty impressive.
[0:14:55 – 0:14:57] Erik: Yeah, but divided by Three Rivers, that’s only two.
[0:14:58 – 0:15:02] Adam: Yeah, and you won most of those in the 70s when I could have been an offensive lineman.
[0:15:02 – 0:15:07] Adam: So, I mean, that’s like bragging about the Packers winning 13 NFL championships or whatever.
[0:15:08 – 0:15:12] Adam: Impressive to a degree, but God bless the Steelers.
[0:15:12 – 0:15:15] Adam: Packers put the business to them the last week, though.
[0:15:15 – 0:15:15] Adam: How about that?
[0:15:16 – 0:15:16] Erik: Yeah.
[0:15:16 – 0:15:20] Adam: Ben Roethlisberger looks like he’s on about his last arm.
[0:15:20 – 0:15:22] Adam: He’s still out there, huh?
[0:15:22 – 0:15:28] Adam: He’s not a very good person, so I’m not too sad to say Ben Roethlisberger’s on his way out.
[0:15:28 – 0:15:31] Adam: He’s really killing the fantasy value of everybody around him on that team.
[0:15:32 – 0:15:33] Adam: This is pretty good.
[0:15:34 – 0:15:35] Adam: Pretty feisty.
[0:15:35 – 0:15:39] Adam: I think we could probably slam these, as the Ohio River would want us to do.
[0:15:39 – 0:15:40] Erik: Well, mine’s mostly gone already.
[0:15:42 – 0:15:48] Erik: Our flagship brand is a traditional American lager brewed in classic Pittsburgh style.
[0:15:49 – 0:15:50] Erik: What style is that?
[0:15:51 – 0:15:51] Adam: Hard.
[0:15:51 – 0:15:52] Adam: Steel.
[0:15:52 – 0:15:53] Adam: Root hard.
[0:15:54 – 0:15:55] Adam: Steel chilled.
[0:15:55 – 0:15:56] Adam: Steel minted.
[0:15:56 – 0:15:57] Adam: There’s french fries in here.
[0:15:58 – 0:15:58] Adam: What?
[0:15:58 – 0:15:59] Adam: Are they known for that?
[0:16:00 – 0:16:02] Erik: Isn’t that the whole thing with sandwiches in Pittsburgh?
[0:16:03 – 0:16:05] Erik: They put french fries in everything?
[0:16:06 – 0:16:09] Erik: Built on 150 years of brewing excellence.
[0:16:10 – 0:16:19] Erik: Iron City Beer boasts notes of sweet corn and smooth, crisp barley malt for a dry finish with very little bitterness.
[0:16:20 – 0:16:21] Adam: Yeah, I get that, too.
[0:16:21 – 0:16:22] Adam: Yeah, it’s pretty damn smooth.
[0:16:23 – 0:16:25] Adam: Does it have notes of sweet corn?
[0:16:25 – 0:16:29] Erik: That’s a lot of words to just say, it’s beer.
[0:16:30 – 0:16:33] Adam: If they do put French fries in their hoagies, I’m in.
[0:16:34 – 0:16:34] Adam: I want to go.
[0:16:34 – 0:16:35] Adam: Primanti Brothers.
[0:16:36 – 0:16:41] Adam: Okay, we should plan a… Can we paddle the Ohio River from Pittsburgh on down?
[0:16:41 – 0:16:43] Adam: They said it was crystal clear waters.
[0:16:44 – 0:16:46] Adam: The land of Pittsburgh waters.
[0:16:46 – 0:16:48] Erik: That may have been tongue-in-cheek.
[0:16:48 – 0:16:48] Adam: Oh, was it?
[0:16:49 – 0:16:51] Adam: I didn’t detect that.
[0:16:52 – 0:16:53] Adam: Anyways…
[0:16:54 – 0:17:01] Erik: Since 1861, our signature recipe is lightly hopped, lightly carbonated, and easy to chug.
[0:17:01 – 0:17:03] Adam: Yeah, it’s easy on the eyes, too.
[0:17:03 – 0:17:04] Adam: And easy on the chug.
[0:17:04 – 0:17:06] Adam: They literally say it’s easy to chug?
[0:17:07 – 0:17:07] Erik: No.
[0:17:08 – 0:17:10] Adam: The beer drinker’s beer.
[0:17:10 – 0:17:12] Adam: Yeah, I guess they’re basically saying it’s easy to chug.
[0:17:12 – 0:17:15] Erik: If anything, there might be some hops growing on the outside of the building.
[0:17:15 – 0:17:21] Erik: Otherwise, this can and the beer inside of it has not been close to a hop ever.
[0:17:21 – 0:17:25] Adam: This is hoppier than most Canadian IPAs, though, no?
[0:17:25 – 0:17:27] Adam: This is better than an Alexander Keith’s, no?
[0:17:27 – 0:17:33] Erik: Well, at least the fine folks at Iron City Beer aren’t lying about how hoppy their beer is.
[0:17:34 – 0:17:37] Erik: Unlike the Alexander Keith’s IPA, which is like, hmm?
[0:17:37 – 0:17:38] Adam: It’s like a bush light.
[0:17:39 – 0:17:39] Erik: Where is the…
[0:17:41 – 0:17:42] Erik: Where’s that hop?
[0:17:42 – 0:17:42] Adam: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:17:42 – 0:17:43] Adam: What’s going on?
[0:17:43 – 0:17:48] Adam: Any Canadian listeners out there understand what the hell is going on with IPAs in Canada?
[0:17:48 – 0:17:50] Adam: What are they not getting about this?
[0:17:51 – 0:17:54] Adam: Their IPAs, they literally taste like bush lights.
[0:17:55 – 0:18:01] Adam: Alexander Keith’s is part of the jumbo jet dog package at the Winnipeg Jets game.
[0:18:01 – 0:18:03] Adam: Pretty good as an IPA.
[0:18:05 – 0:18:07] Adam: leaves a bit to be desired.
[0:18:07 – 0:18:07] Erik: Agreed.
[0:18:08 – 0:18:12] Erik: But that jumbo jet dog combo with the tall boy Alexander Keiths at the MTS Center…
[0:18:12 – 0:18:14] Adam: Pretty good deal for $22 loonie.
[0:18:14 – 0:18:15] Erik: That’s an experience.
[0:18:15 – 0:18:18] Adam: You get to walk in from outside and it’s 40 below out.
[0:18:19 – 0:18:23] Adam: Remember when we got on the Jumbotron eating our jumbo jet dogs?
[0:18:24 – 0:18:28] Adam: I believe we got to see Nathan McKinnon play that night.
[0:18:28 – 0:18:30] Erik: Yeah, that was the last season.
[0:18:31 – 0:18:36] Erik: I think it was the year after his rookie season where he still hadn’t broken out yet.
[0:18:37 – 0:18:39] Adam: I think he scored the one and only goal we saw, though.
[0:18:40 – 0:18:41] Erik: We saw two goals because they lost.
[0:18:41 – 0:18:42] Erik: Two zip.
[0:18:42 – 0:18:43] Erik: I think they lost 2-1.
[0:18:43 – 0:18:45] Erik: They got like a late goal.
[0:18:45 – 0:18:47] Adam: Did Brian Little sneak one in or something?
[0:18:47 – 0:18:48] Adam: Yeah, like whatever.
[0:18:48 – 0:18:52] Erik: Probably bounced off of like Matthew Perreault’s nasty hair.
[0:18:54 – 0:18:56] Adam: That was such a disgusting game.
[0:18:56 – 0:18:58] Adam: We went and we’re like, oh, we’re going to see this.
[0:18:59 – 0:19:01] Adam: We’re going to see him thump on the avalanche.
[0:19:01 – 0:19:06] Adam: And a young Nathan McKinnon came in and showed Winnipeg who his boss.
[0:19:06 – 0:19:09] Adam: He had a couple of jumbo jets, Doug, probably at the end of that game.
[0:19:09 – 0:19:12] Erik: Yeah, I think that was even before Hellebuck was like an established goalie.
[0:19:12 – 0:19:15] Erik: I think it was probably Pavlik.
[0:19:15 – 0:19:16] Adam: Yeah, sick.
[0:19:16 – 0:19:17] Adam: In a down year.
[0:19:17 – 0:19:18] Adam: We had to go see a Pavlik game.
[0:19:19 – 0:19:22] Erik: I’m moving on to the tax man brewing gold standard.
[0:19:23 – 0:19:24] Erik: There you go, Hopalicious.
[0:19:24 – 0:19:27] Erik: We got them both in before the 20th minute.
[0:19:29 – 0:19:29] Adam: Crushed.
[0:19:31 – 0:19:31] Adam: That’s in.
[0:19:32 – 0:19:33] Erik: Skeleton.
[0:19:33 – 0:19:34] Adam: Skelly.
[0:19:34 – 0:19:36] Adam: All right, we’re in.
[0:19:36 – 0:19:39] Adam: Two beers in the first 10 minutes of the show.
[0:19:39 – 0:19:40] Adam: This is our first.
[0:19:41 – 0:19:41] Adam: Gold standard.
[0:19:42 – 0:19:43] Erik: I’m sure we’ll be corrected on that.
[0:19:44 – 0:19:46] Adam: We always say, I think this is the first time we’ve ever done that.
[0:19:46 – 0:19:49] Erik: Hopalicious is like, this is the third time you guys have done that.
[0:19:50 – 0:19:50] Erik: Some people are.
[0:19:51 – 0:19:51] Adam: Taxman.
[0:19:53 – 0:19:55] Adam: Oh, this is a special one.
[0:19:55 – 0:19:56] Adam: I’ve been to Taxman.
[0:19:57 – 0:19:58] Adam: This actually has some flavor.
[0:19:58 – 0:19:59] Adam: I’ve been to Indiana.
[0:20:00 – 0:20:04] Adam: I haven’t been to Pittsburgh, but I’ve been to South Central Indiana.
[0:20:06 – 0:20:06] Erik: Lucky you.
[0:20:07 – 0:20:10] Adam: I believe that’s where, I guess that’s how you describe it.
[0:20:10 – 0:20:12] Adam: It’s south of Indianapolis, a ways.
[0:20:13 – 0:20:14] Adam: It’s a piece down that way.
[0:20:15 – 0:20:22] Adam: Yeah, the first time I met Natalie’s family, we went to like a brewing, whatever, what do you call them?
[0:20:22 – 0:20:23] Erik: A brewery?
[0:20:24 – 0:20:25] Adam: Yeah, but it was like a brew fest.
[0:20:26 – 0:20:26] Erik: Okay.
[0:20:27 – 0:20:32] Adam: A lot of breweries coming together with samples, and it was hosted at Taxman.
[0:20:32 – 0:20:33] Erik: Nice.
[0:20:33 – 0:20:35] Adam: It was my first Uber ride also.
[0:20:36 – 0:20:39] Adam: We took the Uber, like exclusive Uber, like the black.
[0:20:40 – 0:20:41] Adam: Oh, I don’t even know if they do that anymore.
[0:20:41 – 0:20:42] Adam: Like a black Suburban.
[0:20:42 – 0:20:42] Adam: Do they still do this?
[0:20:43 – 0:20:43] Erik: I don’t think so.
[0:20:43 – 0:20:46] Adam: It costs a little bit extra, but it’s worth it.
[0:20:46 – 0:20:47] Adam: Then we got Chinese food.
[0:20:47 – 0:20:49] Adam: It was a pretty nice day.
[0:20:50 – 0:20:52] Adam: I think we ended up throwing some lawn furniture in a lake.
[0:20:53 – 0:20:53] Adam: Anybody out there?
[0:20:54 – 0:20:56] Adam: Any cundles out there listening to this?
[0:20:56 – 0:20:57] Adam: Can you confirm?
[0:20:57 – 0:20:57] Adam: Can you confirm?
[0:20:57 – 0:21:01] Erik: Well, and if you’re, you can confirm that tumblehomecast at gmail.com.
[0:21:02 – 0:21:03] Erik: Are you a cundle out there?
[0:21:04 – 0:21:08] Erik: Also, if you were wondering, Adam is still using his finger to randomly point.
[0:21:09 – 0:21:10] Erik: He’s not quite pointing at me.
[0:21:10 – 0:21:10] Erik: What’s with this?
[0:21:10 – 0:21:11] Erik: Is it a phase?
[0:21:11 – 0:21:13] Erik: Yeah, I hope you grow out of it.
[0:21:13 – 0:21:14] Adam: It’s a new nervous tick.
[0:21:15 – 0:21:16] Adam: Anyways, Taxman, amazing.
[0:21:17 – 0:21:18] Adam: Yeah, it’s as good.
[0:21:18 – 0:21:19] Adam: It was a really good time.
[0:21:19 – 0:21:25] Adam: I remember it was like April and we went down there and I got severely sunburned and drunk on Taxman.
[0:21:26 – 0:21:26] Adam: It was amazing.
[0:21:27 – 0:21:27] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:27 – 0:21:29] Adam: It was like 95 degrees in April.
[0:21:30 – 0:21:31] Adam: It was way too hot.
[0:21:32 – 0:21:33] Erik: We also have a…
[0:21:33 – 0:21:33] Adam: Pretty good times.
[0:21:34 – 0:21:38] Adam: Taxman’s a pretty classy place, I would say.
[0:21:38 – 0:21:41] Erik: I mean, the skeleton’s wearing a bow tie, so…
[0:21:42 – 0:21:42] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:42 – 0:21:47] Adam: As soon as you pulled these out of the fridge, I started snapping pictures and sending them to the family chat.
[0:21:48 – 0:21:50] Adam: And I got a few reactions for sure.
[0:21:50 – 0:21:51] Adam: They’re pretty jealous.
[0:21:51 – 0:21:57] Erik: We also have a deduction Belgian-style double that we’re probably going to get to on the TumbleTunes episode.
[0:21:59 – 0:22:02] Erik: I’m going to go ahead and give the Iron City Brewing 10 out of 10.
[0:22:02 – 0:22:03] Erik: Chuggalugs.
[0:22:03 – 0:22:04] Adam: Bargersville?
[0:22:05 – 0:22:12] Erik: I’m going to go ahead and give the gold standard from Taxman here a solid 4.375 out of 5.
[0:22:17 – 0:22:18] Adam: Yeah, I’ll give it a good…
[0:22:19 – 0:22:20] Adam: Spinning bow ties.
[0:22:21 – 0:22:21] Adam: Ooh, yeah.
[0:22:21 – 0:22:23] Adam: That’s pretty spooky.
[0:22:23 – 0:22:24] Adam: That’s pretty spooky.
[0:22:24 – 0:22:25] Adam: I’m going to give this…
[0:22:26 – 0:22:31] Adam: I’m going to give this… Yeah, 5 out of 5 skeletons.
[0:22:31 – 0:22:32] Adam: 6.66 out of 10.
[0:22:33 – 0:22:33] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:22:33 – 0:22:35] Adam: Yeah, actually, we looked this up, too.
[0:22:35 – 0:22:40] Adam: We were looking at fantasy hockey stuff, and Connor Hellebuck is currently being paid $6,666,666 each year.
[0:22:46 – 0:22:48] Adam: Was that an intentional choice, Connor?
[0:22:49 – 0:22:50] Adam: Are you trying to tell us something?
[0:22:51 – 0:22:52] Erik: The number of the beast.
[0:22:53 – 0:22:54] Adam: He’s a beast of a goalie.
[0:22:54 – 0:22:55] Adam: Vesna winner.
[0:22:55 – 0:22:57] Erik: Yeah, he’s super into Iron Maiden.
[0:22:58 – 0:22:58] Adam: Love it.
[0:22:58 – 0:23:01] Adam: Anyways, yeah, this is a spooky ale.
[0:23:02 – 0:23:02] Adam: I like this.
[0:23:03 – 0:23:06] Adam: I’m going to give it a 6 out of 6 and 6.6 skeletons.
[0:23:10 – 0:23:10] Adam: With horns.
[0:23:12 – 0:23:15] Erik: The top hat is covering the horns.
[0:23:15 – 0:23:16] Adam: Yeah, that’s what’s going on here.
[0:23:16 – 0:23:17] Erik: We all know it.
[0:23:18 – 0:23:18] Erik: All right.
[0:23:19 – 0:23:24] Erik: Well, we don’t really have anything else to say because Adam’s got some field.
[0:23:24 – 0:23:26] Erik: No, we got to get through the questions of the week.
[0:23:26 – 0:23:27] Erik: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:23:27 – 0:23:34] Adam: We got to get a lot of stuff in at the beginning because the rest of this episode is going to be bizarre field audio.
[0:23:35 – 0:23:35] Adam: Who knows?
[0:23:36 – 0:23:38] Adam: Even I don’t know what’s coming up next.
[0:23:38 – 0:23:39] Adam: I was there.
[0:23:39 – 0:23:41] Adam: I recorded all the field audio.
[0:23:41 – 0:23:42] Adam: Eric wasn’t there.
[0:23:42 – 0:23:45] Adam: Where was I?
[0:23:45 – 0:23:49] Adam: He was doing the right thing by being there for his coworkers and working.
[0:23:50 – 0:23:51] Adam: You’re at a job.
[0:23:51 – 0:23:55] Adam: You can’t just take off and leave your poor coworkers behind.
[0:23:56 – 0:23:57] Erik: Poor, poor coworkers.
[0:23:57 – 0:23:59] Adam: I didn’t give you a little hard time for it, though.
[0:23:59 – 0:24:05] Adam: I was like, oh, Eric should have called in sick, which you could have.
[0:24:05 – 0:24:06] Adam: Workers have all their power right now.
[0:24:06 – 0:24:08] Erik: I literally have never called in sick.
[0:24:08 – 0:24:12] Adam: I know, and that’s just not a thing that either of us is programmed to do.
[0:24:14 – 0:24:18] Adam: It was unfortunate that you weren’t able to come out and camp in the rain with us, but…
[0:24:19 – 0:24:22] Erik: The only time I even got close to calling in sick was in high school.
[0:24:23 – 0:24:24] Erik: And I didn’t call in sick.
[0:24:24 – 0:24:31] Erik: And that’s why I got fired was because I ate a pot brownie two hours before I was supposed to go and work at a movie rental video store.
[0:24:32 – 0:24:40] Erik: And then ended up laying in bed for five hours staring at the clock and listening to the phone ring with my boss leaving messages about where I was.
[0:24:40 – 0:24:43] Adam: This is the true story about edibles and the dangers they’re in.
[0:24:44 – 0:24:44] Adam: Yeah.
[0:24:45 – 0:24:45] Adam: Don’t do them.
[0:24:46 – 0:24:50] Erik: Or do them in extreme moderation and give them some time to work.
[0:24:50 – 0:24:52] Adam: Or now when you have to work, at least.
[0:24:52 – 0:24:53] Adam: I mean, I was 17.
[0:24:53 – 0:24:57] Adam: You definitely don’t want to eat an edible and go to work.
[0:24:57 – 0:24:58] Adam: That’s the worst time to do them.
[0:24:58 – 0:25:00] Erik: Yeah, don’t eat half of a pot brownie.
[0:25:00 – 0:25:01] Erik: I thought, you know, whatever.
[0:25:01 – 0:25:03] Erik: It’s a video rental store.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:04] Adam: What’s the worst that could happen?
[0:25:05 – 0:25:12] Erik: But then cut to the scene in Forrest Gump where he’s running across the country and his beard gets really long and then I was scared of him.
[0:25:13 – 0:25:17] Erik: And then I had to crawl into my bed and lay down with the lights on for four hours.
[0:25:17 – 0:25:19] Adam: You were scared of bearded?
[0:25:20 – 0:25:22] Adam: Yes.
[0:25:22 – 0:25:23] Adam: Bearded gump?
[0:25:23 – 0:25:23] Adam: Bearded gump.
[0:25:24 – 0:25:25] Erik: That’s the state I was in.
[0:25:25 – 0:25:26] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:25:27 – 0:25:30] Adam: I mean, this is the scariest of the gumps for sure.
[0:25:31 – 0:25:31] Adam: Probably.
[0:25:31 – 0:25:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:33 – 0:25:34] Adam: Gump rankers.
[0:25:34 – 0:25:35] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:37] Adam: What’s your favorite gump?
[0:25:38 – 0:25:39] Erik: My favorite gump?
[0:25:39 – 0:25:40] Erik: What do you mean?
[0:25:40 – 0:25:41] Erik: Like over the course of the movie?
[0:25:41 – 0:25:41] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:41 – 0:25:42] Erik: Ping pong gump.
[0:25:42 – 0:25:45] Adam: Yeah, obviously.
[0:25:45 – 0:25:46] Adam: We’re in complete agreement.
[0:25:49 – 0:25:51] Adam: We have enough room in the shed here.
[0:25:51 – 0:25:52] Adam: We could probably get a ping pong table in here.
[0:25:53 – 0:25:53] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:25:53 – 0:25:53] Erik: No problem.
[0:25:53 – 0:25:55] Erik: That would be some amazing acoustics.
[0:25:57 – 0:25:58] Adam: I’m pretty good at ping pong.
[0:25:58 – 0:25:58] Adam: I know.
[0:25:58 – 0:26:00] Adam: I think you are too.
[0:26:00 – 0:26:06] Erik: We have a good time playing against each other because usually I find myself not having enough competition to go back up against.
[0:26:06 – 0:26:07] Erik: Right.
[0:26:07 – 0:26:08] Adam: I’m not going to lie.
[0:26:08 – 0:26:09] Adam: I’ve got a pretty wicked serve.
[0:26:09 – 0:26:10] Erik: Yeah.
[0:26:11 – 0:26:13] Erik: And it’s pretty rare that I even get it returned.
[0:26:14 – 0:26:14] Adam: Yeah, I know.
[0:26:14 – 0:26:17] Adam: Well, you know, I used to play varsity tennis.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:17] Adam: Yeah.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:22] Adam: I’ve taken those skills to the small stand-up table.
[0:26:23 – 0:26:24] Erik: Yeah, you’ve concentrated those skills down.
[0:26:25 – 0:26:32] Adam: You know, I’m and you can’t wear assless chaps when you’re playing JV or varsity tennis.
[0:26:32 – 0:26:33] Adam: But in ping pong, yeah, you can.
[0:26:34 – 0:26:35] Erik: Definitely not at a sanctioned event.
[0:26:35 – 0:26:37] Adam: No, but, you know, in the shed you can.
[0:26:38 – 0:26:42] Adam: And that’s the best way to get the like, you know, that’s how you get the spin.
[0:26:42 – 0:26:44] Erik: Yeah, you don’t want to have anything holding you back.
[0:26:44 – 0:26:46] Erik: No restrictions in the upper thigh.
[0:26:46 – 0:26:47] Adam: There you go.
[0:26:47 – 0:26:48] Erik: You need to twist.
[0:26:49 – 0:26:50] Adam: So number one question of the week.
[0:26:51 – 0:26:53] Adam: Have you ever gone on a camping trip?
[0:26:53 – 0:26:54] Adam: There goes the finger again.
[0:26:55 – 0:26:56] Adam: We’ve got to get a webcam or something.
[0:26:57 – 0:26:58] Adam: Nobody’s understanding what’s going on right now.
[0:26:58 – 0:27:01] Erik: We’re going to have to put like a control mitt on you.
[0:27:02 – 0:27:03] Adam: I need to get one of those.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:08] Adam: Yeah, I need a mitten to keep the hand under control.
[0:27:08 – 0:27:10] Adam: I’ll bring a hot pad, a hot mitten.
[0:27:10 – 0:27:12] Adam: Yeah, I need a big hot pad with some duct tape.
[0:27:12 – 0:27:16] Erik: But then it’ll look like you’re just going like this.
[0:27:16 – 0:27:17] Adam: Quit shaking your hot pad.
[0:27:18 – 0:27:20] Adam: Number one question of the week.
[0:27:21 – 0:27:23] Adam: This will be up on Reddit by the time you hear this.
[0:27:25 – 0:27:25] Adam: Costumes?
[0:27:27 – 0:27:28] Adam: Question mark?
[0:27:28 – 0:27:29] Adam: Oh, you’re leading with that one?
[0:27:29 – 0:27:30] Adam: Yeah, I am.
[0:27:31 – 0:27:31] Erik: This is the one I don’t have.
[0:27:31 – 0:27:34] Adam: Have you ever gone on a trip dressed as George?
[0:27:35 – 0:27:38] Adam: Have you ever gone on a trip wearing a cape?
[0:27:39 – 0:27:40] Adam: Costumes?
[0:27:42 – 0:27:44] Adam: Have you ever worn a costume in the Boundary Waters?
[0:27:45 – 0:27:45] Adam: I want to hear about it.
[0:27:46 – 0:27:49] Adam: Eric’s not too hot on this idea, but let’s prove him wrong.
[0:27:50 – 0:27:52] Adam: I think this is a great question of the week.
[0:27:53 – 0:27:54] Adam: Have you ever worn a costume on the trip?
[0:27:55 – 0:27:57] Adam: What is a costume you’d like to wear on a trip?
[0:27:58 – 0:28:01] Adam: If you’re doing a trip in October, what’s the best costume to wear?
[0:28:02 – 0:28:03] Adam: Let’s hear it, folks.
[0:28:03 – 0:28:07] Adam: I know that I’m not alone in wearing a costume in the Boundary Waters.
[0:28:08 – 0:28:11] Adam: What’s the best costume to wear in the Boundary Waters?
[0:28:11 – 0:28:12] Adam: That’s the first question of the week.
[0:28:12 – 0:28:13] Adam: We got two for you.
[0:28:13 – 0:28:14] Adam: This is a first.
[0:28:14 – 0:28:15] Adam: This is for sure a first.
[0:28:16 – 0:28:18] Adam: We’ve never asked two questions of the week in one week.
[0:28:19 – 0:28:21] Erik: Yeah, we have not.
[0:28:21 – 0:28:30] Erik: And then the second is a little bit more open-ended and I think a little bit more directly related to actual Boundary Waters.
[0:28:30 – 0:28:33] Adam: It is the more reasonable of the two questions.
[0:28:33 – 0:28:43] Erik: I’m not against the costume, but I’m thinking it might end up boiling down to one of the first questions we ever asked where it’s like, hey, anybody out there ever hitchhike?
[0:28:45 – 0:28:47] Erik: Including hitchhiking and a road trip?
[0:28:47 – 0:28:51] Adam: I’m thinking if we re-ask that question now that we might get more responses.
[0:28:51 – 0:28:52] Adam: That was very early in the show.
[0:28:52 – 0:28:53] Erik: That was.
[0:28:53 – 0:28:54] Erik: It was, I think, one of the first.
[0:28:54 – 0:28:57] Adam: We had only like two or three people listening.
[0:28:57 – 0:28:59] Erik: Yeah, that’s, I mean, maybe.
[0:28:59 – 0:29:00] Erik: I don’t even know how many.
[0:29:00 – 0:29:03] Erik: I think there’s probably still, what, five, six people listening now?
[0:29:03 – 0:29:06] Adam: Yeah, but we have a thousand followers on Instagram.
[0:29:06 – 0:29:07] Erik: Yeah, it’s just the Instagram followers.
[0:29:07 – 0:29:08] Erik: Nobody listens.
[0:29:08 – 0:29:08] Adam: They don’t listen, though.
[0:29:08 – 0:29:11] Erik: They’re just there for that Instagram content.
[0:29:11 – 0:29:12] Adam: We’re just talking in a shed.
[0:29:13 – 0:29:13] Erik: Yeah.
[0:29:14 – 0:29:15] Erik: Are these mics even on?
[0:29:16 – 0:29:17] Adam: These wires are cut?
[0:29:18 – 0:29:18] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:29:18 – 0:29:21] Adam: What a horrible twist that would be.
[0:29:23 – 0:29:24] Adam: Tumble Home Cinema Classics.
[0:29:25 – 0:29:25] Adam: The wires are cut.
[0:29:26 – 0:29:26] Adam: The wires are cut.
[0:29:27 – 0:29:30] Erik: Just general, the good, the bad, the ugly.
[0:29:32 – 0:29:33] Erik: October paddling.
[0:29:34 – 0:29:36] Erik: Have you been paddling in October?
[0:29:37 – 0:29:38] Erik: What have your experiences been?
[0:29:38 – 0:29:43] Erik: Do you have any profound memories specifically related to an October trip?
[0:29:44 – 0:29:46] Erik: Because it’s kind of one of those…
[0:29:46 – 0:29:49] Adam: Here’s my side question to this question.
[0:29:49 – 0:29:53] Adam: Have you ever been on a trip where you’ve swam and been snowed on?
[0:29:53 – 0:29:54] Adam: Yeah.
[0:29:54 – 0:29:55] Adam: Because I haven’t.
[0:29:55 – 0:29:57] Adam: I’ve swam in October.
[0:29:58 – 0:30:01] Adam: I’ve also been snowed on in October, but not on the same trip.
[0:30:02 – 0:30:02] Adam: Oh, really?
[0:30:02 – 0:30:03] Adam: We didn’t get snowed on?
[0:30:03 – 0:30:05] Adam: Well, I guess that, yeah, I mean.
[0:30:05 – 0:30:06] Erik: That was quite a go?
[0:30:06 – 0:30:07] Adam: Yeah, but that’s a month long.
[0:30:07 – 0:30:07] Adam: That doesn’t count.
[0:30:07 – 0:30:08] Erik: Yeah, that was three weeks apart.
[0:30:09 – 0:30:10] Adam: You know, a regular trip.
[0:30:10 – 0:30:10] Erik: I got you.
[0:30:11 – 0:30:16] Adam: Like, I’m talking like, have you been swimming on Saturday and snowed on Sunday?
[0:30:16 – 0:30:16] Adam: Mm-hmm.
[0:30:17 – 0:30:18] Adam: you know, that kind of trip.
[0:30:18 – 0:30:21] Erik: Well, and that’s the, that’s what comes with an October trip.
[0:30:21 – 0:30:22] Erik: And so it sure does.
[0:30:22 – 0:30:36] Erik: We’re just looking for, before we wrap this open water season and get to the final responses that we always come around to at the end, end of the year, which is where you went, how your season went.
[0:30:36 – 0:30:39] Erik: I’m sure it’s going to be people that are like, I went on 12 trips.
[0:30:40 – 0:30:43] Erik: Meanwhile, I haven’t been paddling for like three months and,
[0:30:44 – 0:30:45] Erik: And those, I mean, fine.
[0:30:45 – 0:30:46] Erik: That’s cool.
[0:30:46 – 0:30:47] Erik: I love listening and hearing.
[0:30:47 – 0:30:50] Erik: I live vicariously now more than ever through listeners.
[0:30:50 – 0:30:54] Erik: But this question is specifically related to October trips.
[0:30:54 – 0:30:55] Erik: You rolling the dice?
[0:30:55 – 0:31:01] Erik: This would have been, up to this point, a pretty good start to some October paddling.
[0:31:01 – 0:31:01] Erik: Dead calm.
[0:31:02 – 0:31:02] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:31:02 – 0:31:02] Erik: Warm.
[0:31:03 – 0:31:04] Erik: We haven’t even had a cold snap, really.
[0:31:04 – 0:31:05] Erik: There’s like…
[0:31:06 – 0:31:09] Erik: That’s good on one hand, but bad on another.
[0:31:09 – 0:31:11] Erik: Like, there are still mosquitoes, honestly.
[0:31:11 – 0:31:12] Erik: Yeah.
[0:31:12 – 0:31:16] Erik: We’re still getting, like, not swarmed, but like, there’s a solid 20 minutes every night.
[0:31:17 – 0:31:19] Adam: My buddy told me that he had ticks on his dog.
[0:31:20 – 0:31:23] Erik: Oh, yeah, there’s definitely still ticks around.
[0:31:23 – 0:31:25] Erik: We have had absolutely no frost since June.
[0:31:27 – 0:31:30] Adam: There’s a couple of nights where I was like, I’m going to bring the jalapeno in.
[0:31:31 – 0:31:33] Adam: I’m going to, but I didn’t need to.
[0:31:34 – 0:31:35] Adam: It’s not even a plant.
[0:31:35 – 0:31:38] Adam: I just have a jalapeno that I keep on the deck.
[0:31:38 – 0:31:40] Erik: Yeah, I’m going to bring it in off the deck handrail.
[0:31:40 – 0:31:41] Adam: I’m seasoning it.
[0:31:42 – 0:31:45] Erik: So, yeah, if we haven’t been clear enough, we’ll just boil it down with…
[0:31:47 – 0:31:52] Erik: How have your October trips in the past, if you’ve done them, gone?
[0:31:53 – 0:31:58] Erik: And just share, I would say, the most memorable October memory.
[0:31:58 – 0:32:05] Erik: Because I think, like I said, they can be glowing with some of the most incredible conditions.
[0:32:05 – 0:32:12] Erik: And also offering the same level of memory, but on the flip side of like…
[0:32:13 – 0:32:13] Erik: This sucks.
[0:32:14 – 0:32:15] Erik: Why did I decide to come out here?
[0:32:15 – 0:32:16] Erik: Yeah.
[0:32:16 – 0:32:18] Erik: And it can turn on a…
[0:32:19 – 0:32:21] Erik: I believe the saying is a dime.
[0:32:22 – 0:32:25] Erik: And I’m not sure what exactly that means, but…
[0:32:26 – 0:32:31] Adam: I will guarantee down that episode tell the story of Ebola camp in great detail.
[0:32:31 – 0:32:32] Erik: Oh, yes.
[0:32:32 – 0:32:34] Erik: Yeah, it can be harrowing out there.
[0:32:34 – 0:32:41] Erik: It’s no time for first-timers, but we’d love to hear just general thoughts on October paddling from your end.
[0:32:41 – 0:32:46] Erik: And also, if you could, what would you wear as a costume?
[0:32:47 – 0:32:49] Erik: And if you have, what was it?
[0:32:50 – 0:32:53] Adam: Yeah, and it doesn’t have to have happened in October, obviously.
[0:32:53 – 0:32:59] Adam: These are separate questions, but they probably have overlapped in some stories out there, I would think.
[0:32:59 – 0:33:00] Erik: Yeah, I would think so.
[0:33:01 – 0:33:06] Erik: And yeah, 33 minutes in, that’s going to wrap the intro?
[0:33:06 – 0:33:07] Adam: Yeah, I think so.
[0:33:07 – 0:33:23] Adam: All right, so this is a live in the field episode coming to you from, as you’re about to find out, a mysterious location out there in Cook County, Minnesota, which is bigger than the state of Delaware.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:25] Adam: Is it?
[0:33:25 – 0:33:25] Adam: Yeah.
[0:33:26 – 0:33:28] Adam: Eat a bag of ass, Delaware.
[0:33:28 – 0:33:29] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[0:33:30 – 0:33:31] Adam: Take that.
[0:33:31 – 0:33:32] Adam: We got a bunch.
[0:33:32 – 0:33:33] Adam: Rhode Island also.
[0:33:33 – 0:33:35] Adam: You could put Rhode Island and Delaware together.
[0:33:35 – 0:33:38] Adam: It wouldn’t be as big as Cook County, Minnesota.
[0:33:38 – 0:33:43] Adam: We got more lakes than most states just in this one county, so…
[0:33:43 – 0:33:47] Erik: Did you listen to the last Ramblings from the Road at all?
[0:33:47 – 0:33:49] Erik: I haven’t gotten there yet, no.
[0:33:49 – 0:33:53] Adam: I just barely finished the Raven episode by the end of this week.
[0:33:53 – 0:33:54] Adam: I mean, I’m not mad.
[0:33:54 – 0:33:55] Adam: I’m way behind.
[0:33:55 – 0:34:02] Erik: I’m just wondering because in that episode, I questioned the pronunciation of the capital of North Dakota, and I was corrected by somebody who does live there.
[0:34:02 – 0:34:06] Erik: And for the longest time, I always thought, do you know what the capital is of North Dakota?
[0:34:12 – 0:34:18] Erik: If you’re loving this silence, this is what you can expect on the Fantasy Hockey Draft podcast.
[0:34:18 – 0:34:18] Erik: Bismarck.
[0:34:20 – 0:34:21] Erik: Sorry.
[0:34:21 – 0:34:22] Erik: Yes, you are correct.
[0:34:22 – 0:34:23] Erik: I meant South Dakota.
[0:34:24 – 0:34:24] Adam: Oh, Pierre.
[0:34:25 – 0:34:28] Erik: Yeah, and that’s how I would have pronounced it, but it’s apparently pronounced Pierre.
[0:34:29 – 0:34:30] Adam: No, it’s not.
[0:34:30 – 0:34:32] Adam: Those idiots don’t know what they’re talking about.
[0:34:33 – 0:34:35] Adam: And now you’ve lost all the South Dakota listeners.
[0:34:36 – 0:34:38] Adam: All you SODAC mofos.
[0:34:39 – 0:34:40] Adam: And you NODACs.
[0:34:41 – 0:34:43] Adam: You NODAC SODAC mofos.
[0:34:43 – 0:34:45] Adam: Anybody out there ice fishing like to use a NODAC rig?
[0:34:47 – 0:34:47] Adam: That’s two hooks.
[0:34:48 – 0:34:49] Adam: That’s the fourth question of the week.
[0:34:49 – 0:34:51] Adam: One wire.
[0:34:51 – 0:34:55] Adam: Yeah, that’s the email I received.
[0:34:55 – 0:34:56] Adam: Wow, all right.
[0:34:56 – 0:35:01] Adam: Well, I’m glad that I got it because I used to pride myself.
[0:35:01 – 0:35:04] Adam: I still do pride myself on knowing state capitals.
[0:35:04 – 0:35:06] Erik: Oh, that’s a bonus episode there.
[0:35:06 – 0:35:08] Erik: Yeah, state capitals.
[0:35:08 – 0:35:09] Erik: Yeah, all the state capitals.
[0:35:09 – 0:35:18] Adam: Yeah, so I was a little perplexed when I couldn’t think of Bismarck, you know, but right away I thought of Pierre, but I guess it’s Pierre?
[0:35:18 – 0:35:19] Adam: Pierre.
[0:35:20 – 0:35:22] Adam: That’s such a South Dakota thing to say.
[0:35:22 – 0:35:22] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:23 – 0:35:25] Adam: Yeah, we know French better than the French.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:29] Erik: Okay.
[0:35:29 – 0:35:38] Erik: There was a stretch of towns out there when I was driving that were, you could tell, clearly settled by people from Europe.
[0:35:38 – 0:35:40] Erik: Because it was like, Marseille.
[0:35:40 – 0:35:40] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:43 – 0:35:44] Adam: Naples.
[0:35:44 – 0:35:46] Erik: Marseillaise.
[0:35:46 – 0:35:48] Erik: No, it’s not pronounced Marseille.
[0:35:48 – 0:35:50] Erik: It’s pronounced Marseille.
[0:35:50 – 0:35:51] Erik: There you go.
[0:35:51 – 0:35:52] Erik: What?
[0:35:52 – 0:35:52] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[0:35:53 – 0:35:54] Erik: There’s a lot of just straight up…
[0:35:54 – 0:35:56] Erik: They didn’t even put a new in front of it.
[0:35:56 – 0:35:57] Adam: They’re not being obtuse.
[0:35:57 – 0:35:58] Adam: They’re just being difficult.
[0:35:59 – 0:35:59] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:59 – 0:36:00] Adam: Am I right?
[0:36:01 – 0:36:01] Adam: You’re right.
[0:36:01 – 0:36:02] Adam: All right.
[0:36:02 – 0:36:02] Adam: Now…
[0:36:04 – 0:36:13] Adam: Let’s kick it over to our correspondent in the field driving down a mysterious gravel road somewhere out there.
[0:36:13 – 0:36:21] Folk Music: Oh, just a little more than you would have said.
[0:36:23 – 0:36:28] Folk Music: Save me, white Jesus, more than you would have said.
[0:36:40 – 0:36:41] Folk Music: Sing it, Errol.
[0:37:12 – 0:37:18] Adam: Oh, little boy in the USA.
[0:37:19 – 0:37:22] Adam: Save me, President Jesus.
[0:37:25 – 0:37:25] Adam: Hello.
[0:37:27 – 0:37:30] Adam: Great start to the show in the studio there, boys.
[0:37:30 – 0:37:32] Adam: Your voices are sounding amazing.
[0:37:34 – 0:37:35] Adam: We are live in the field.
[0:37:37 – 0:37:38] Adam: We’re on the gravel, Arrow.
[0:37:41 – 0:37:41] Adam: Got a
[0:37:45 – 0:37:51] Adam: We got the Pontiac vibe out here on the gravel roads of Cook County.
[0:37:53 – 0:37:54] Adam: And got me.
[0:37:55 – 0:37:56] Adam: This is Adam.
[0:37:57 – 0:38:01] Adam: And Husky, Bork Ranger of the Year.
[0:38:02 – 0:38:04] Adam: Arrow is sitting shotgun.
[0:38:04 – 0:38:04] Adam: Hello, Arrow.
[0:38:09 – 0:38:16] Adam: And we’re a couple miles out from our planned destination and riding on top.
[0:38:16 – 0:38:19] Adam: We got the old gel coat Min 2.
[0:38:20 – 0:38:22] Adam: Gordy is leading the way out front here.
[0:38:23 – 0:38:24] Adam: Looking great, Gordy.
[0:38:24 – 0:38:24] Adam: Hey.
[0:38:25 – 0:38:27] Adam: This is very nice back here.
[0:38:28 – 0:38:29] Adam: So we still have some fall colors.
[0:38:29 – 0:38:32] Adam: Oh boy, there’s a lot of people on the pavement, let me tell you.
[0:38:33 – 0:38:34] Adam: Driving over this way.
[0:38:37 – 0:38:42] Adam: Seen a lot of cars out here, but we are past fall color peak right now, no doubt about it.
[0:38:42 – 0:38:50] Adam: But it’s still damn pretty out here on the back roads of beautiful Cook County, Minnesota on the North Shore.
[0:38:53 – 0:38:54] Adam: What are we doing today?
[0:38:55 – 0:38:58] Adam: So, no Eric.
[0:38:58 – 0:38:59] Adam: Eric’s gotta work.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:01] Adam: He’s the working man.
[0:39:02 – 0:39:03] Adam: What is this road?
[0:39:03 – 0:39:04] Adam: This is not the turn.
[0:39:05 – 0:39:07] Adam: I’m not really sure where I’m going, for one.
[0:39:07 – 0:39:08] Adam: I think I know where I’m going.
[0:39:09 – 0:39:10] Adam: I mean, I looked at the map.
[0:39:11 – 0:39:12] Adam: I’m just going by feel at this point.
[0:39:12 – 0:39:14] Adam: I’m pretty sure I know where I’m going.
[0:39:17 – 0:39:18] Adam: But yeah, no Eric.
[0:39:18 – 0:39:18] Adam: He had to work.
[0:39:21 – 0:39:22] Adam: You know, and I told him, just call in sick.
[0:39:24 – 0:39:28] Adam: You know, be like the vast majority of the workers.
[0:39:28 – 0:39:30] Adam: The workers have the power right now, I said, Eric.
[0:39:30 – 0:39:30] Adam: Just call in sick.
[0:39:30 – 0:39:31] Adam: What are they going to do, fire you?
[0:39:32 – 0:39:33] Adam: They’re not going to fire you.
[0:39:34 – 0:39:35] Adam: But he’s a good boy.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:37] Adam: He’s a good lad, that Eric.
[0:39:38 – 0:39:40] Adam: And, oh, my God, we got some bikers.
[0:39:40 – 0:39:41] Adam: Holy smokes.
[0:39:41 – 0:39:41] Adam: Look at this.
[0:39:45 – 0:39:48] Adam: One, two, three, four, five.
[0:39:49 – 0:39:50] Adam: This guy’s got a trailer.
[0:39:50 – 0:39:54] Adam: Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
[0:39:54 – 0:39:57] Adam: And then a Forest Service vehicle with a four-wheeler.
[0:39:57 – 0:39:58] Adam: What’s going on back here?
[0:39:59 – 0:40:00] Adam: Like I said, it’s busy up here.
[0:40:02 – 0:40:06] Adam: I think that was 10 mountain bikers traveling south.
[0:40:07 – 0:40:14] Adam: One of them had a trailer, so I don’t know if this is some sort of bike camping operation, or what was in the trailer.
[0:40:15 – 0:40:17] Adam: I mean, bikers, are you out there?
[0:40:19 – 0:40:20] Adam: What was in the trailer, if you’re listening to this?
[0:40:21 – 0:40:29] Adam: Hit us up on tumblehomecast at gmail.com, tumblehomecast, and on the Instagram picture application,
[0:40:31 – 0:40:31] Adam: Now we got a car.
[0:40:32 – 0:40:34] Adam: So I guess it’s still busy out here on the back roads even.
[0:40:34 – 0:40:35] Adam: I mean, it’s prime.
[0:40:35 – 0:40:38] Adam: Like I said, it’s past prime leafers.
[0:40:38 – 0:40:39] Adam: These are definitely leafers.
[0:40:40 – 0:40:40] Adam: Oof.
[0:40:42 – 0:40:46] Adam: It’s definitely past prime, but there’s a lot of leaf peepers still out here on the back roads even.
[0:40:46 – 0:40:48] Adam: So I don’t know what those bikers are all about.
[0:40:48 – 0:40:51] Adam: That was something else.
[0:40:52 – 0:40:53] Adam: Yeah, anyways, Eric’s a good lad.
[0:40:54 – 0:40:54] Adam: He went to work.
[0:40:58 – 0:41:04] Adam: But it’s not a solo operation, and unfortunately I can’t tell you where exactly we’re going.
[0:41:05 – 0:41:09] Adam: This is a Tomahome top secret in the field.
[0:41:11 – 0:41:15] Adam: Reporting here from somewhere in the Superior National Forest.
[0:41:17 – 0:41:20] Adam: And I guess this is the secret national forest trip.
[0:41:21 – 0:41:25] Adam: We have two more joining us on the adventure.
[0:41:26 – 0:41:33] Adam: They’ll probably be there when I arrive because town was a bit of a show and I’m running late.
[0:41:35 – 0:41:38] Adam: I hit the traffic light in Grand Marais.
[0:41:39 – 0:41:45] Adam: Somehow I hit it a red light three times and stopped at every crosswalk for a pedestrian.
[0:41:46 – 0:41:47] Adam: So I’m running late.
[0:41:49 – 0:41:51] Adam: I can’t really blame the pedestrians in town.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:52] Adam: I was running late before I even got to Grammaray.
[0:41:52 – 0:41:53] Adam: Let’s be honest.
[0:41:54 – 0:41:55] Adam: That’s what this show is all about.
[0:41:55 – 0:42:05] Adam: Honesty, except for when it comes to telling you where we’re camping tonight because I’ve been sworn to secrecy by one of the other guests here on this show this week.
[0:42:06 – 0:42:07] Adam: Okay, there’s the…
[0:42:08 – 0:42:10] Adam: Turn for blank lake.
[0:42:11 – 0:42:17] Adam: So, it should be second left after this, I believe, Errol.
[0:42:18 – 0:42:19] Adam: Errol’s sniffing it out.
[0:42:20 – 0:42:23] Adam: So yeah, joining you this week on episode 0164?
[0:42:29 – 0:42:30] Adam: Fill in the blank.
[0:42:30 – 0:42:32] Adam: I don’t know if it’s 164 or 165.
[0:42:33 – 0:42:42] Adam: Anyways, joining us this week on Tumble Home in the field, friend of the show, Josh, Joshy Poo, Poo Bear.
[0:42:43 – 0:42:47] Adam: And I believe he’s been on the show.
[0:42:47 – 0:42:49] Adam: He one time laughed in the background of a track.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:53] Adam: But me and Joshy Poo go way back.
[0:42:55 – 0:43:08] Adam: And, uh, also this week, one of the first times, really the first time I’m going to get to canoe camp with this guy, good friend of mine, Adrian is coming out and, uh, and like I said, arrows here and Gordy, of course.
[0:43:08 – 0:43:13] Adam: So we’ll get a full boat cause we’re just going to try and cram it all into the one boat.
[0:43:15 – 0:43:18] Adam: Uh, it’s a, it’s kind of a half car camping option.
[0:43:18 – 0:43:24] Adam: We’re going to, we are paddling in, but there’s essentially like a short portage down to the water.
[0:43:26 – 0:43:28] Adam: And then paddle out to an island kind of scenario.
[0:43:30 – 0:43:32] Adam: What I’m told is a beautiful island campsite.
[0:43:33 – 0:43:35] Adam: Hopefully it’s not filled with grouse hunters and we can get it.
[0:43:35 – 0:43:36] Adam: Okay, here’s the first left.
[0:43:38 – 0:43:39] Adam: Not the correct left.
[0:43:40 – 0:43:43] Adam: Yeah, okay, there was somebody down there, though.
[0:43:45 – 0:43:46] Adam: Looked like a camper.
[0:43:48 – 0:44:07] Adam: dispersed camping anyone yeah so we’re paddling in basically to this island site hopefully it’s not taken there are some other options essentially dispersed camping here these are not marked on the map so you can quit trying to guess i’m not gonna tell you and uh you may get some clues but uh
[0:44:09 – 0:44:13] Adam: Yeah, I heard a distinctive warbler, a fall warbler migrating in the background.
[0:44:13 – 0:44:16] Adam: That pinpoints them to a blank lake.
[0:44:17 – 0:44:20] Adam: Okay, then go ahead and you can, if you figure it out, good for you.
[0:44:21 – 0:44:22] Adam: But I’m not going to give you any solid clues.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:24] Adam: I’ve been sworn to secrecy by Adrian.
[0:44:24 – 0:44:27] Adam: This is kind of his spot, you know.
[0:44:27 – 0:44:29] Adam: But is this spot truly anybody’s?
[0:44:30 – 0:44:33] Adam: He’s the one that found it or told me about it, at least.
[0:44:33 – 0:44:34] Adam: So this is Adrian’s secret spot.
[0:44:34 – 0:44:35] Adam: We’re not going to give it away.
[0:44:37 – 0:44:38] Adam: Second left, I think.
[0:44:40 – 0:44:41] Adam: Yeah, it looks right.
[0:44:41 – 0:44:42] Adam: Okay, we’re in.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:43] Adam: All right, so we’re here.
[0:44:43 – 0:45:03] Adam: We’re gonna portage it down We’re gonna go to the campsite first and just get all set up because there’s a good chance of rain and Then we’re gonna come back to the car and grab all the fishing gear and head the other direction Yeah, it looks like Adrian is right here and it looks like Josh is here as well So we’ll catch you later On the flip side
[0:45:12 – 0:45:13] Adam: Alright, do a set.
[0:45:18 – 0:45:18] Adam: There we go.
[0:45:25 – 0:45:33] Adam: Tumlahome in the field, coming to you live from the mysterious middle of nowhere, Superior National Forest mystery lake.
[0:45:34 – 0:45:35] Adam: It’s raining.
[0:45:38 – 0:45:39] Adam: My name is Adam.
[0:45:39 – 0:45:42] Adam: I’m joined here in the canoe by my good friends Josh and Adrian.
[0:45:42 – 0:45:43] Adam: Hello, Josh and Adrian.
[0:45:46 – 0:45:47] Adam: And Arrow the dog is here.
[0:45:49 – 0:45:50] Adam: We’re on a bass bonanza out here.
[0:45:51 – 0:45:52] Adam: No walleyes have been caught.
[0:45:54 – 0:45:54] Adam: No pike.
[0:45:55 – 0:45:57] Adam: But we got quite a few bass.
[0:45:58 – 0:46:00] Adam: And doing pretty well out here.
[0:46:01 – 0:46:03] Adam: Been almost zero wind today.
[0:46:05 – 0:46:15] Adam: Rain’s picking up a little bit here, so we’re about ready to pull in the rods and make our way back to the island campsite, which has been secured.
[0:46:16 – 0:46:17] Adam: Camp is set.
[0:46:20 – 0:46:22] Adam: And it’s a beautiful day here in the North Country.
[0:46:26 – 0:46:33] Adam: Going to definitely have enough leeches left to go ahead and put some glow bobbers out tonight, I hope.
[0:46:34 – 0:46:38] Adam: And probably going to have our entire lake to ourselves.
[0:46:38 – 0:46:41] Adam: It looks like we did see one other group here.
[0:46:42 – 0:46:43] Adam: We visited five lakes today.
[0:46:48 – 0:46:54] Adam: Pretty fun times out here.
[0:46:56 – 0:47:02] Adam: Yeah, these little secret lakes you can get into out here in the Superior National Forest are quite special, so…
[0:47:02 – 0:47:03] Adam: We’ll leave it at that.
[0:47:03 – 0:47:07] Adam: We’re just checking in and making our way into camp.
[0:47:08 – 0:47:12] Adam: Got to go probably get a fire going, I would hope.
[0:47:13 – 0:47:14] Adam: Get those bobbers in for the night.
[0:47:15 – 0:47:19] Adam: Maybe switch into some dry clothes.
[0:47:19 – 0:47:22] Adam: What are we having tonight?
[0:47:22 – 0:47:22] Adam: Brats?
[0:47:24 – 0:47:26] Adam: Probably about 10 different kinds of brats we’re going to try out.
[0:47:29 – 0:47:29] Adam: All right.
[0:47:32 – 0:47:35] Adam: Hopefully next time you hear from us, we have caught a walleye.
[0:48:05 – 0:48:07] Adam: Good morning from Island Camp.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:15] Adam: That is the sound, the magical sound of breakfast frittata.
[0:48:18 – 0:48:20] Adam: Got a hot mug of coffee in my other hand.
[0:48:22 – 0:48:27] Adam: And Josh has just pulled in the first of the morning bass.
[0:48:29 – 0:48:29] Adam: It was a hog.
[0:48:32 – 0:48:33] Adam: Six, seven-incher probably, at least.
[0:48:34 – 0:48:35] Adam: At least seven, I think.
[0:48:38 – 0:48:38] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:43] Adam: Coffee’s piping hot.
[0:48:46 – 0:48:48] Adam: So, I’m just going to describe this frittata.
[0:48:50 – 0:48:54] Adam: I think I’ll wait until after breakfast to do the official campsite review.
[0:48:57 – 0:48:58] Adam: Stayed up pretty late last night.
[0:49:00 – 0:49:02] Adam: It rained pretty much a steady rain the whole night.
[0:49:05 – 0:49:32] Adam: uh had the little blue tarp set up down here by the fire and we stuck it out with the lit bobbers for quite quite a bit uh but nothing was biting last night uh on the lit bobbers uh heard a few fish jumping though this morning i’ve seen some of these uh diver ducks out front there’s a lot of ducks in uh this lake i don’t think we talked about the amount of ducks we saw
[0:49:33 – 0:49:41] Adam: at all yesterday, but boy, we’ve seen probably 300 ducks on this lake when we paddled in here originally.
[0:49:41 – 0:49:43] Adam: It was quite an impressive sight.
[0:49:47 – 0:49:56] Adam: So the frittata today, trying something new at these little like fancy cocktail weenies.
[0:49:58 – 0:50:01] Adam: Like I’m talking the fanciest cocktail weenies you can get.
[0:50:03 – 0:50:04] Adam: They’re starting to brown up a little.
[0:50:05 – 0:50:06] Adam: So I chopped them up.
[0:50:08 – 0:50:09] Adam: That’s the meat in this frittata.
[0:50:10 – 0:50:17] Adam: I, of course, did stop in Grand Marais, as I mentioned earlier, and I picked up two things from the grocery store.
[0:50:19 – 0:50:24] Adam: 50-pack of cheese biters and a pack of fresh dill, of course.
[0:50:25 – 0:50:31] Adam: So we’ll be putting on the eggs, the cheese, and the fresh dill at the end, as we always do.
[0:50:34 – 0:50:38] Adam: And we’ll grade the fire pit, I guess, right away since we’re working on it.
[0:50:39 – 0:50:45] Adam: It’s a round model with the hinged grate with the big wide handles.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:50] Adam: So it works pretty well.
[0:50:54 – 0:51:03] Adam: You don’t see too many of these, but it’s in pretty good shape and has a really nice flat-topped squared rock sitting here next to it.
[0:51:04 – 0:51:26] Adam: for your utensils and coffees first time ever uh well we used onions from the garden in this frittata and i got some tomatoes from the garden in there as well we actually got ripe tomatoes this year and as i mentioned the the cocktail weenies
[0:51:27 – 0:51:31] Adam: But the weird secret ingredient in this frittata is not dill today.
[0:51:31 – 0:51:33] Adam: It’s peas from the garden.
[0:51:34 – 0:51:35] Adam: I just put a couple in there.
[0:51:36 – 0:51:39] Adam: So if you get anything green, that’s the peas.
[0:51:45 – 0:51:48] Adam: This is Sunday, October 3rd.
[0:51:48 – 0:51:49] Adam: I don’t think I mentioned the…
[0:51:50 – 0:51:58] Adam: So this is pretty much finished the Raven episode and then came out for just a one night camp out here.
[0:51:58 – 0:51:59] Adam: Just going to sneak one in.
[0:51:59 – 0:52:00] Adam: Got Gordy on the water.
[0:52:02 – 0:52:03] Adam: Got his little sombrero out.
[0:52:05 – 0:52:08] Adam: But yeah, we ate pretty good.
[0:52:08 – 0:52:12] Adam: I would say the highlight of dinner, we did have like a brat smorgasbord for dinner.
[0:52:13 – 0:52:19] Adam: But the highlight of dinner was Adrian brought out one of those little Pop-O-Matic popping corns.
[0:52:19 – 0:52:20] Adam: What do you call it?
[0:52:21 – 0:52:21] Adam: It’s a Jiffy Pop.
[0:52:23 – 0:52:24] Adam: And it was amazing.
[0:52:24 – 0:52:25] Adam: It was very buttery.
[0:52:26 – 0:52:28] Adam: That must have been like Mac Turbo Butter flavor.
[0:52:31 – 0:52:33] Adam: Added extra butter flavoring.
[0:52:33 – 0:52:42] Adam: I don’t know where your bobber is.
[0:52:44 – 0:52:45] Adam: Oh, it’s way over there.
[0:52:49 – 0:52:50] Adam: So that was a pretty good dinner.
[0:52:50 – 0:52:51] Adam: Like I said, it just kept raining.
[0:52:52 – 0:52:53] Adam: We stuck with it, though.
[0:52:53 – 0:52:57] Adam: We all kind of huddled under this nice little blue tarp down by the fire here.
[0:53:00 – 0:53:01] Adam: I think we stayed up quite late.
[0:53:03 – 0:53:11] Adam: Arrow is good, and I had the little blanket set up for her under my hammock, under my CCS tarp.
[0:53:14 – 0:53:15] Adam: And she stayed under there pretty good all night.
[0:53:15 – 0:53:17] Adam: Another new gear item.
[0:53:18 – 0:53:22] Adam: Adrienne gifted Arrow a lit LED dog collar.
[0:53:23 – 0:53:29] Adam: It’s pink, and you can set it to flashing or just solid mode.
[0:53:31 – 0:53:31] Adam: So I had that on her.
[0:53:31 – 0:53:36] Adam: It makes it really easy to keep track of her, for one, but it also looks quite stylish.
[0:53:37 – 0:53:38] Adam: Got to give a stir on this Furtada.
[0:53:39 – 0:53:40] Adam: No, that was pretty cool.
[0:53:40 – 0:53:42] Adam: So you could always tell like, where’s she doing?
[0:53:42 – 0:53:45] Adam: Oh, she’s up under the tarp, it’s raining.
[0:53:46 – 0:53:47] Adam: Oh yeah, there we go.
[0:53:51 – 0:53:53] Adam: Starting to get some goodness going here.
[0:53:53 – 0:54:01] Adam: Oh boy.
[0:54:10 – 0:54:10] Adam: There we go.
[0:54:12 – 0:54:15] Adam: So, yeah, we’re pulling the double on this cast iron set on this trip.
[0:54:15 – 0:54:17] Adam: Biters in the night, frittata in the morn.
[0:54:22 – 0:54:25] Adam: Pretty light wind right now.
[0:54:25 – 0:54:29] Adam: Looks like a variable out of the who knows where.
[0:54:31 – 0:54:34] Adam: And the rain has quit, but it’s very overcast still.
[0:54:34 – 0:54:38] Adam: Could start raining at any moment, it looks like, but looks to me like…
[0:54:42 – 0:54:44] Adam: Going to be a pretty calm day here in the north country.
[0:54:45 – 0:54:46] Adam: Got a Packers game coming up today.
[0:54:47 – 0:54:47] Adam: 3 o’clock start.
[0:54:48 – 0:54:50] Adam: Going to get out in time for that one, I think.
[0:54:51 – 0:54:56] Adam: Got a mild paddle out and one more portage to complete.
[0:54:59 – 0:55:02] Adam: And head back down to the pavement.
[0:55:04 – 0:55:07] Adam: And hopefully the Packers win by 10 over the Steelers.
[0:55:07 – 0:55:08] Adam: That’s my prediction.
[0:55:09 – 0:55:10] Adam: See if that turns out.
[0:55:12 – 0:55:12] Adam: All right.
[0:55:12 – 0:55:14] Adam: Well, we’re going to keep working on this breakfast here.
[0:55:14 – 0:55:16] Adam: It looks like Adrian’s getting a barb road as well.
[0:55:18 – 0:55:19] Adam: Still looking for that first walleye.
[0:55:19 – 0:55:20] Adam: A lot of bass.
[0:55:21 – 0:55:22] Adam: Bass bonanza.
[0:55:22 – 0:55:27] Adam: You don’t see too many bass bonanzas in October, but I think we’re what, seven or eight bass at this point.
[0:55:27 – 0:55:30] Adam: I think we got a bass in every lake so far.
[0:55:31 – 0:55:33] Adam: Other than that, well, the middle lake.
[0:55:33 – 0:55:34] Adam: We didn’t really fish in that one.
[0:55:35 – 0:55:36] Adam: There’s like a transit lake in the system.
[0:55:37 – 0:55:38] Adam: I’ve said too much.
[0:55:39 – 0:55:40] Adam: Delete this track, Eric.
[0:55:42 – 0:55:43] Adam: Bass gang is here.
[0:55:45 – 0:55:46] Adam: Three, four bass.
[0:55:47 – 0:55:49] Adam: A couple, two tree bass caught this morning already.
[0:55:54 – 0:55:55] Adam: Here on the island site.
[0:55:55 – 0:55:57] Adam: So, and a perch.
[0:55:57 – 0:55:58] Adam: A perch was caught.
[0:55:59 – 0:56:00] Adam: Still no walleye.
[0:56:00 – 0:56:02] Adam: We’re still looking for you wallopter.
[0:56:03 – 0:56:04] Adam: But we did get a perch.
[0:56:05 – 0:56:07] Adam: Adrian caught a little perch over here on the left.
[0:56:09 – 0:56:31] Adam: and we’re going to start today’s campsite review here at the landing high quality wide open landing framed by a mass of pine trees and plenty of room for three to as many honestly you could fit you could probably get 10 slip bobber rigs in here we got three out right now and uh
[0:56:33 – 0:56:38] Adam: Got a couple really nice bass this morning, a couple dinky bass, a perch.
[0:56:40 – 0:56:41] Adam: Yeah, like I said, no walleye, though.
[0:56:43 – 0:56:44] Adam: They’re still out there somewhere.
[0:56:47 – 0:56:52] Adam: And I got myself a morning cocktail going for this campsite review.
[0:56:53 – 0:56:59] Adam: Coming to you live in the field here on Tumble Home, a Boundary Waters podcast.
[0:56:59 – 0:57:01] Adam: As I said earlier, we’re not in the Boundary Waters.
[0:57:01 – 0:57:02] Adam: We’re at Top Secret Location.
[0:57:03 – 0:57:04] Adam: on Pine Island.
[0:57:10 – 0:57:17] Adam: Got some reeds here in front, but they’re just far enough over there to the left that you can get plenty of bobbers in here.
[0:57:18 – 0:57:21] Adam: Wind’s coming out of the northeast.
[0:57:22 – 0:57:23] Adam: Bobbers are going left, of course.
[0:57:25 – 0:57:25] Adam: Nobody can explain that.
[0:57:27 – 0:57:29] Adam: There’s no current to be had out here either.
[0:57:29 – 0:57:30] Adam: I don’t
[0:57:31 – 0:57:35] Adam: I mean, there shouldn’t be, but there always is.
[0:57:35 – 0:57:43] Adam: Anyways, I’m going to give this landing pretty high marks just due to the wide open fishing nature of it and that we have caught fish here in camp.
[0:57:43 – 0:57:51] Adam: Really easy pulling, a little rocky, but, you know, pretty nice landing overall.
[0:57:51 – 0:57:53] Adam: I’m going to give the landing a nice A.
[0:57:55 – 0:57:56] Adam: And we’ve got the boat up here.
[0:57:58 – 0:58:01] Adam: The fire pit is really nice and close down to the landing, too.
[0:58:01 – 0:58:02] Adam: I’d say let’s pace it off.
[0:58:03 – 0:58:03] Adam: We’re going to pace it off?
[0:58:04 – 0:58:04] Adam: Sure.
[0:58:04 – 0:58:07] Adam: Okay, get the heel on the beach.
[0:58:09 – 0:58:11] Adam: One, two, three, four.
[0:58:13 – 0:58:16] Adam: It’s about six and a half paces off the lake.
[0:58:17 – 0:58:20] Adam: We’ve talked about the campfire, the ring here.
[0:58:22 – 0:58:40] Adam: the on the frittata track but it’s a pretty pretty nice weird hinged fire grate on a big on a big tall ring with a nice flat square rock perfect for setting down your greyhound
[0:58:42 – 0:58:43] Adam: or your coffee or what have you.
[0:58:44 – 0:58:48] Adam: And pretty good level seating here.
[0:58:50 – 0:58:53] Adam: Any campsite that has this amount of pine needles on the ground always feels like home.
[0:58:55 – 0:59:01] Adam: We were talking during breakfast that it feels like this place has been camped in for many, many years.
[0:59:02 – 0:59:03] Adam: It just has that feel to it.
[0:59:03 – 0:59:06] Adam: Anybody listening to this show knows that feeling.
[0:59:07 – 0:59:08] Adam: You’re on one of the old sites.
[0:59:09 – 0:59:10] Adam: All the bobbers are still up.
[0:59:13 – 0:59:14] Adam: Boy, mine’s way down there to the left.
[0:59:17 – 0:59:21] Adam: The views here from the fire grade area on this big landing are pretty nice.
[0:59:21 – 0:59:26] Adam: Kind of looking at a weird little dead island over there in that back bay, Josh.
[0:59:27 – 0:59:27] Adam: Nobody knows.
[0:59:28 – 0:59:30] Adam: Why would that island be so dead?
[0:59:32 – 0:59:35] Adam: And a little bit of yellow is still out there.
[0:59:37 – 0:59:37] Adam: We’re not really…
[0:59:39 – 0:59:44] Adam: Like I said on the first track, I think, we’re kind of past peak on the fall colors, but it’s pretty out there for sure.
[0:59:46 – 0:59:48] Adam: Wind remains calm out of the who knows where.
[0:59:50 – 0:59:51] Adam: Let’s talk about the pine trees.
[0:59:53 – 1:00:01] Adam: Josh and I are in agreement that this big one over here for sure, and that one I think probably 100-year-old pines at least.
[1:00:04 – 1:00:30] Adam: couple other really nice ones in the backside uh there’s a really like bright yellow birch on the backside landing here on the island the backside landing is arguably nicer i would add that too it’s like finer gravel back there and apparently that’s a little you know the deeper water of this lake is off that backside but the lake is not a very deep lake i said too much uh
[1:00:30 – 1:00:33] Adam: I think we’ve mentioned this, but it does come with a picnic table.
[1:00:33 – 1:00:38] Adam: Pretty nice by Superior National Forest picnic table standards.
[1:00:39 – 1:00:41] Adam: I give the picnic table at least a B plus.
[1:00:41 – 1:00:42] Adam: Sturdy.
[1:00:43 – 1:00:45] Adam: And it’s a full-size one.
[1:00:46 – 1:00:49] Adam: And it’s on a perfectly flat spot up there behind the fire grate.
[1:00:50 – 1:00:53] Adam: I am set on that biggest of the pine trees with my hammock.
[1:00:55 – 1:00:59] Adam: And that’s probably the biggest pine tree I’ve ever put a hammock onto, honestly.
[1:00:59 – 1:00:59] Adam: Barely.
[1:01:00 – 1:01:04] Adam: It took me and Josh to get the slap strap around it.
[1:01:05 – 1:01:09] Adam: I don’t know how you do it with just one person if you’re trying to put a strap around that tree.
[1:01:09 – 1:01:11] Adam: I mean, it’s at least a two hugger.
[1:01:13 – 1:01:15] Adam: It’s a 175 hugger at least.
[1:01:17 – 1:01:19] Adam: This pine over here is probably a 125.
[1:01:19 – 1:01:20] Adam: And then there’s another couple.
[1:01:21 – 1:01:24] Adam: There’s at least a couple more in here on this island that are like a full hug.
[1:01:25 – 1:01:26] Adam: But yeah, that one’s a beast.
[1:01:26 – 1:01:27] Adam: Not very tall, but…
[1:01:28 – 1:01:30] Adam: Yeah, look at those branches way up there.
[1:01:30 – 1:01:31] Adam: They’re cut though, Josh.
[1:01:33 – 1:01:35] Adam: Yeah, those are definitely cut.
[1:01:36 – 1:01:38] Adam: Yeah, this one’s real like army.
[1:01:38 – 1:01:40] Adam: It’s got a lot of like very wide branching.
[1:01:41 – 1:01:45] Adam: But yeah, there are like way up there like clearly like large cut ones.
[1:01:47 – 1:01:48] Adam: Who would have done something like that?
[1:01:52 – 1:01:53] Folk Music: I guess.
[1:01:53 – 1:01:56] Adam: There’s like little tiny branches at the bottom that are still there though.
[1:01:58 – 1:01:58] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:01:59 – 1:01:59] Adam: Very odd pine.
[1:02:01 – 1:02:02] Adam: It’s a butte, though.
[1:02:04 – 1:02:07] Adam: Yeah, it feels like this is probably an ancient wild rice camp or something.
[1:02:08 – 1:02:11] Adam: Oh, the bobber’s still up.
[1:02:11 – 1:02:13] Adam: It’s way down there.
[1:02:14 – 1:02:23] Adam: I can see we were picturing in our minds that this was at one point maybe somebody had done a moose hunt out of this site way back in the day.
[1:02:24 – 1:02:26] Adam: Something’s jumping over there, huh?
[1:02:28 – 1:02:32] Adam: Oh, I think that bobber’s acting a little funny.
[1:02:33 – 1:02:34] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:02:34 – 1:02:41] Adam: I mean, all of us here kind of were just a little late to getting up here and kind of all missed out on the moose hunting era.
[1:02:42 – 1:02:54] Adam: I often think, like, would I actually be able to shoot a moose if I had moved up here 20 years earlier somehow and, you know, was lucky enough to get a tag back when that was still a thing?
[1:02:54 – 1:02:56] Adam: I don’t know if I could do it.
[1:02:58 – 1:03:12] Adam: um but i mean it must have been really something to be a part of a moose hunt you got her maybe we got a cross bobber over here josh is working one out
[1:03:15 – 1:03:21] Adam: I mean, I’ve still yet to be able to, like, try and eat a moose or eat moose meat.
[1:03:23 – 1:03:25] Adam: Anybody out there know where I can get moose?
[1:03:28 – 1:03:29] Adam: Can’t hunt them up here anymore.
[1:03:30 – 1:03:33] Adam: Wouldn’t even do it, I don’t think, if I was allowed to at this point.
[1:03:33 – 1:03:35] Adam: It’s been so long since I’ve seen a moose.
[1:03:36 – 1:03:42] Adam: But, you know, can I, like, is there a way I can get moose from, you know, Canada or Alaska shipped to me?
[1:03:45 – 1:04:11] Adam: tumblehomecast at gmail.com tumblehomecast on instagram hit me up in the dms anybody know where i can get some my hands on some moose steak i’d love to have moose steak for christmas this year is that thing i can do am i being greedy you know you got plenty of things you can eat you don’t need to eat moose well i don’t know i’ve always heard it’s good just feels to me like somebody hunted moose out of this site at some point
[1:04:13 – 1:04:15] Adam: It’s a pretty good location, I would think, for it.
[1:04:17 – 1:04:19] Adam: I wonder how long this campsite’s been here for.
[1:04:23 – 1:04:25] Adam: As I said earlier, not marked on any maps.
[1:04:25 – 1:04:28] Adam: It’s a beautiful, secret campsite.
[1:04:30 – 1:04:32] Adam: Well, it might be marked on the official map.
[1:04:32 – 1:04:33] Adam: We’re not sure.
[1:04:33 – 1:04:36] Adam: We don’t have that copy with us, but I’m going to get my hands on that map, too.
[1:04:37 – 1:04:38] Adam: But let’s see.
[1:04:39 – 1:04:40] Adam: Hammocks.
[1:04:41 – 1:04:41] Adam: I’m in a hammock.
[1:04:42 – 1:04:43] Adam: Adrian’s in a hammock over here.
[1:04:44 – 1:04:45] Adam: Shout out to Adrian.
[1:04:45 – 1:04:46] Adam: First night in the hammock.
[1:04:47 – 1:04:48] Adam: Said it went pretty well.
[1:04:50 – 1:04:51] Adam: My hammock was set all right.
[1:04:51 – 1:04:55] Adam: I was a little, I was head tall by two inches probably.
[1:04:55 – 1:04:55] Adam: Missed set.
[1:04:57 – 1:04:58] Adam: Adrian looks like he was pretty level.
[1:04:59 – 1:05:06] Adam: I would say there’s unlimited hammock potential, and it’s a pretty small island, but I think you could probably fit that whole biker gang.
[1:05:06 – 1:05:10] Adam: If you somehow could get all those guys out here, there’d be plenty of spots for all of them, too.
[1:05:13 – 1:05:16] Adam: Josh is in a small, what is this, a three-person tent?
[1:05:16 – 1:05:17] Adam: Two-person tent?
[1:05:18 – 1:05:20] Adam: Yeah, it’s a nice little pup tent over here.
[1:05:20 – 1:05:23] Adam: He’s got a really nice spot back there on the ridge.
[1:05:24 – 1:05:27] Adam: Kind of like a lot of good flat spots.
[1:05:27 – 1:05:29] Adam: Like I said, it’s all covered in pine needles.
[1:05:32 – 1:05:34] Adam: Yeah.
[1:05:34 – 1:05:36] Adam: Probably got room for hell.
[1:05:36 – 1:05:41] Adam: You could have five, six tents in here, no problem.
[1:05:42 – 1:05:46] Adam: And that brings us, of course, to… Everybody’s waiting for it, anticipating.
[1:05:48 – 1:05:50] Adam: What’s the Brown Volcano situation like, Adam?
[1:05:52 – 1:05:53] Adam: Tell us about the pooper.
[1:05:54 – 1:06:00] Adam: So I did go and had a coffee, a coffee, beer, and now I’m having a cocktail.
[1:06:00 – 1:06:01] Adam: We ate a whole frittata.
[1:06:04 – 1:06:14] Adam: On top of pizza biters and popcorn last night and brats, so I definitely primed myself up pretty good to go and experience the Brown Volcano this morning.
[1:06:15 – 1:06:18] Adam: Somebody left a pack of toilet paper up there.
[1:06:18 – 1:06:19] Adam: I don’t trust that.
[1:06:20 – 1:06:21] Adam: Never use the toilet paper you find.
[1:06:22 – 1:06:24] Adam: It could be enchanted in a bad way.
[1:06:25 – 1:06:26] Adam: Like the…
[1:06:27 – 1:06:28] Adam: You never know.
[1:06:28 – 1:06:31] Adam: If you use it, then it might turn into something else.
[1:06:32 – 1:06:34] Adam: So that’s a pro tip for you.
[1:06:34 – 1:06:38] Adam: If you ever find toilet paper at the latrine, do not use it.
[1:06:38 – 1:06:39] Adam: Always use your own.
[1:06:40 – 1:06:42] Adam: Leave it for somebody else to experience that.
[1:06:43 – 1:06:45] Adam: You don’t want to mess with toilet paper enchantments.
[1:06:47 – 1:06:49] Adam: But, yeah, it’s a little close.
[1:06:49 – 1:06:51] Adam: I would say I’m turning around now.
[1:06:51 – 1:06:51] Adam: I can see it.
[1:06:52 – 1:06:54] Adam: It’s right back there.
[1:06:54 – 1:06:55] Adam: But we’re on a small island.
[1:06:55 – 1:06:56] Adam: What are you going to do?
[1:06:58 – 1:07:00] Adam: But it’s kind of backed by a cool rock, I got to say.
[1:07:00 – 1:07:05] Adam: I was thinking at first, like, this is too close, so we’re going to have to give this latrine a pretty bad grade, but it’s back there.
[1:07:07 – 1:07:07] Adam: Oh.
[1:07:09 – 1:07:10] Adam: Just heard the lid go.
[1:07:10 – 1:07:13] Adam: It is lidded, for one, so that’s always nice.
[1:07:15 – 1:07:18] Adam: And, yeah, it’s kind of backed by a cool rock.
[1:07:18 – 1:07:19] Adam: You know, you’re far enough away.
[1:07:21 – 1:07:26] Adam: And I’m going to give the latrine a pretty solid grade as well.
[1:07:27 – 1:07:33] Adam: So I think that brings us to it’s time to give the overall grade.
[1:07:34 – 1:07:41] Adam: I’m going to say, like I said, it’s not too hard to get here, but it is sort of top secret.
[1:07:42 – 1:07:45] Adam: And it’s an island, so that enhances it.
[1:07:46 – 1:07:47] Adam: I’m going to give this a solid A. Josh?
[1:07:51 – 1:07:52] Adam: All right, we’re in agreement.
[1:07:53 – 1:07:54] Adam: Adrian, what’s your grade for the campsite?
[1:07:56 – 1:07:57] Adam: There you go.
[1:07:57 – 1:08:01] Adam: That’s a triple confirmed A campsite here.
[1:08:01 – 1:08:03] Adam: Top secret island on top secret lake.
[1:08:04 – 1:08:07] Adam: National secret forest.
[1:08:09 – 1:08:12] Adam: We’ll catch you back at the cars probably at this point.
[1:08:14 – 1:08:18] Adam: And for final thoughts and maybe some predictions on the upcoming Packers game.
[1:08:19 – 1:08:23] Adam: But we’re going to hang out for a little bit more, hopefully get that walleye.
[1:08:23 – 1:08:24] Adam: We’re still looking for the walleye.
[1:08:25 – 1:08:28] Adam: And if we do get a walleye, we will check back with you.
[1:08:28 – 1:08:31] Adam: But otherwise, we’ll see you at the cars.
[1:08:32 – 1:08:32] Adam: Adios.
[1:08:32 – 1:08:37] Adam: It’s cool there’s a path out here.
[1:08:37 – 1:08:37] Adam: Yeah.
[1:08:39 – 1:08:40] Adam: Campsite addendum.
[1:08:42 – 1:08:48] Adam: So after we finished the last track, Adrian had scouted this out, and you can come way on to that point.
[1:08:49 – 1:09:16] Adam: now we’ve basically seen the whole island but there’s a cool path that comes way out here to this far point and it looks really neat for fishing so we’ve all hiked out here and we’re trying one last little trick to get that walleye what do you think it’s a pretty neat yeah it’s got potential like we’re out here on a very like it’s uh you’d think most of this is probably underwater
[1:09:17 – 1:09:18] Adam: You know, normal year?
[1:09:18 – 1:09:18] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:18 – 1:09:20] Adam: Like, water’s been pretty low in this whole area.
[1:09:22 – 1:09:24] Adam: Hero is trying to get at something under this rock.
[1:09:27 – 1:09:29] Adam: She’s just, like, smelling the moss on this rock.
[1:09:33 – 1:09:34] Adam: Don’t fall in.
[1:09:38 – 1:09:39] Adam: She’s going to fall in for sure.
[1:09:39 – 1:09:42] Adam: What are you doing?
[1:09:44 – 1:10:13] Adam: yeah always uh always neat camping on an island and you usually will find like a path like this so anyways um we’re probably gonna catch a walleye out here but we’re just gonna add on the it’s a firm a on the on the campsite grade due to the island being so cool so may or may not use this track i don’t know did that add anything of value to this episode probably probably not but uh
[1:10:13 – 1:10:13] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:10:14 – 1:10:15] Adam: It looks like a good fishing spot.
[1:10:16 – 1:10:18] Adam: We’re going to give it one cocktail worth of fishing.
[1:10:18 – 1:10:21] Adam: Oh, my barber is doing something weird.
[1:10:22 – 1:10:23] Adam: Here, Adrian, take this.
[1:10:24 – 1:10:24] Adam: Oh, yeah.

[1:10:31 – 1:10:32] Adam: Something’s messing with me over here.
[1:10:37 – 1:10:38] Adam: I think it’s still there.
[1:10:39 – 1:10:40] Adam: It’s got to be.
[1:10:47 – 1:10:48] Adam: No, it’s gone.
[1:10:48 – 1:10:49] Adam: Oh, well.
[1:10:53 – 1:10:54] Adam: It’s probably a walleye, though.
[1:10:56 – 1:10:57] Adam: We’ll check back with you later.

[1:13:22 – 1:13:26] Adam: I’m going to say the Packers defense is going to get a pick six today.
[1:13:26 – 1:13:28] Adam: We got about 25 minutes to kick off.
[1:13:28 – 1:13:30] Adam: I’m about 20 minutes from home.
[1:13:31 – 1:13:34] Adam: My radio home is much better than the Vibes radio.
[1:13:34 – 1:13:35] Adam: I will say that.
[1:13:35 – 1:13:38] Adam: This radio is pretty spotty, but we’re kind of inland right now.
[1:13:39 – 1:13:40] Adam: I’ve said too much.
[1:13:42 – 1:13:43] Adam: Totals on fishing.
[1:13:44 – 1:13:46] Adam: If anybody’s wondering…
[1:13:49 – 1:13:58] Adam: I think we ended up with, between the three of us, one perch and 15 smallmouth bass.
[1:13:58 – 1:14:03] Adam: I think Adrian and Josh tied for the biggest bass.
[1:14:04 – 1:14:07] Adam: Both ended up getting one about 15 inches or so.
[1:14:08 – 1:14:11] Adam: Pretty hardy fish in that little area.
[1:14:12 – 1:14:13] Adam: Pretty cool spot.
[1:14:17 – 1:14:26] Adam: You know, it’s been a little too long since I’ve had the boat on the water, and Gordy had a fun time too.
[1:14:28 – 1:14:30] Adam: You know, it’s funny how that works.
[1:14:31 – 1:14:36] Adam: You’re just busy, busy, can’t ever get out, and it’s like all of a sudden it’s October.
[1:14:37 – 1:14:45] Adam: And even if it’s only for a one night trip, getting the boat on the water is always a special experience.
[1:14:45 – 1:14:46] Adam: We had a lot of fun out there.
[1:14:48 – 1:14:57] Adam: Super relaxing, caught a couple fish, had a few beers, made a nice amount of bratwurst and frittata.
[1:14:59 – 1:15:04] Adam: And there is always that good feeling, though, like, all right, everything’s accounted for.
[1:15:04 – 1:15:06] Adam: We’re back in the vehicle, heading home.
[1:15:07 – 1:15:11] Adam: And it’s especially nice looking at these beautiful leafs.
[1:15:12 – 1:15:14] Adam: Got the whole backcountry to ourself right now.
[1:15:14 – 1:15:16] Adam: I haven’t seen another vehicle in 15 minutes.
[1:15:18 – 1:15:28] Adam: Yeah, heading home and going home to see the wife and the cat and the packers are going to be on here right when I get home.
[1:15:28 – 1:15:33] Adam: So, I mean, that’s, you know, cozy up on the couch, put on some dry clothes.
[1:15:35 – 1:15:37] Adam: Just soaked right now.
[1:15:37 – 1:15:38] Adam: Everything’s wet.
[1:15:39 – 1:15:40] Adam: You know how it is coming home from camping.
[1:15:40 – 1:15:41] Adam: I mean…
[1:15:42 – 1:15:59] Adam: just amazing how wet how wet you can really get but that was a lot of fun super impromptu kind of last-minute kind of deal on that trip and there’s some water knew we’re gonna have some weather to deal with on this thing
[1:16:02 – 1:16:07] Adam: But we’re pretty well assured that we’re going to have a really good campsite.
[1:16:07 – 1:16:11] Adam: And we got the one we were looking for, and it was as advertised.
[1:16:13 – 1:16:14] Adam: A real gem of a site.
[1:16:15 – 1:16:17] Adam: Love a good small island campsite.
[1:16:18 – 1:16:19] Adam: Big pines.
[1:16:20 – 1:16:24] Adam: What the hell is this?
[1:16:24 – 1:16:25] Adam: This is like a school bus up here.
[1:16:27 – 1:16:29] Adam: I think we got a broken down school bus scenario.
[1:16:29 – 1:16:34] Adam: There’s children crying in the side of the road here.
[1:16:36 – 1:16:37] Adam: They’re waving me over to stop.
[1:16:38 – 1:16:38] Adam: I cannot.
[1:16:40 – 1:16:40] Adam: I cannot do it.
[1:16:41 – 1:16:42] Adam: I’m going to be late for the game.
[1:16:42 – 1:16:43] Adam: Sorry.
[1:16:43 – 1:16:44] Adam: Somebody else will come along.
[1:16:45 – 1:16:46] Adam: Oh, that was odd.
[1:16:50 – 1:17:13] Adam: yeah it was uh just what the doctor ordered though you know um i don’t know if anybody out here listening to tumble home meditates but i’m i’m i have trouble with it for the same reasons i’m i’m not very good at deer hunting i have a real hard time sitting still and quieting the mind and uh
[1:17:17 – 1:17:44] Adam: yeah i just uh i i can’t meditate you know i i really i just can’t do it but the best i can get the best way i can get to that is by getting out and spending a night in the woods and uh getting in that hammock at the end of the night oh man it feels good you know you just lay there and here’s the meditation you get in the hammock after a
[1:17:45 – 1:17:45] Adam: Well, let’s see.
[1:17:45 – 1:17:46] Adam: We did six lakes.
[1:17:48 – 1:17:52] Adam: Six different lakes.
[1:17:52 – 1:17:54] Adam: Three new lakes to me, I guess.
[1:17:54 – 1:17:55] Adam: A lot of portaging.
[1:17:55 – 1:18:01] Adam: A lot of, you know, kind of not very efficiently packed kind of hassle.
[1:18:01 – 1:18:03] Adam: You know, just kind of back and forth in it.
[1:18:04 – 1:18:06] Adam: A lot of moving around.
[1:18:06 – 1:18:10] Adam: I mean, eat yourself a big old meal.
[1:18:10 – 1:18:11] Adam: Catch a couple fish.
[1:18:13 – 1:18:41] Adam: taking it all in you know and then here’s the meditation you you lay down in the hammock at the end of the night and you see how long you can stay awake that’s the real challenge all right now we got a grouse hunter up here i don’t know i think honest to god i didn’t time it or whatever but a couple old-timer grouse hunters here on a subaru with a canoe on top
[1:18:43 – 1:18:44] Adam: These guys are up to no good for sure.
[1:18:46 – 1:18:53] Adam: I would say I was maybe made it 35 seconds, you know, and I was trying to stay awake, but it was raining, you know.
[1:18:54 – 1:19:04] Adam: Once I finally, like, turned all the lights off and kind of got in the sleeping bag right, probably made it about 33 seconds tops, and I was out, but…
[1:19:05 – 1:19:11] Adam: Boy, that was some A-plus quality sleep on an A-plus quality campsite, let me tell you.
[1:19:12 – 1:19:16] Adam: Woke up, the rain had quit, you know, and it’s a beautiful thing.
[1:19:19 – 1:19:24] Adam: You know, I think that’s probably going to conclude the report from this trip.
[1:19:25 – 1:19:28] Adam: I’m not sure I did a very good job of describing what happened out there, but…
[1:19:30 – 1:19:35] Adam: I didn’t really try very hard to try, you know, and that was part of the point of this trip.
[1:19:36 – 1:19:40] Adam: The point was to get out there, not to really turn it into a big hoopla.
[1:19:40 – 1:19:44] Adam: And when you’re going to a top secret spot, you can’t really talk too much about the location anyways.
[1:19:45 – 1:19:46] Adam: So what is there really to say?
[1:19:47 – 1:19:51] Adam: Well, it’s like the, it’s how you feel about it, you know.
[1:19:51 – 1:19:54] Adam: That’s how we’ve always done it here on Tumble Home.
[1:19:57 – 1:20:25] Adam: arrow did really good she did really good on the trip she stayed in close you know island campsites will do that to a dog but she did get overall pretty excited to see some bass as was i and uh yeah i don’t know if we’re gonna kick it back to the field or if we’re gonna let it go so i’m just gonna once again say happy paddling it was good to get back on the water and uh
[1:20:27 – 1:20:33] Adam: It’s pretty funny paddling a boat with three guys and a dog and all the camping gear in it.
[1:20:33 – 1:20:36] Adam: I was kind of in there.
[1:20:36 – 1:20:41] Adam: If we would have flipped, I don’t know if I would have been able to escape that boat.
[1:20:41 – 1:20:46] Adam: I was kind of stuck in that back seat pretty good.
[1:20:48 – 1:20:49] Adam: Happy paddling indeed.
[1:20:49 – 1:20:51] Adam: It was a lot of fun to get back on the water.
[1:20:51 – 1:20:56] Adam: I definitely got to figure out a better way to
[1:20:59 – 1:21:03] Adam: Whoa, those are like free chairs just sitting on the side of the road?
[1:21:03 – 1:21:04] Adam: What was that all about?
[1:21:07 – 1:21:09] Adam: Yeah, so I’m going to call it.
[1:21:09 – 1:21:16] Adam: Packers going to get a pick six touchdown off of the Steelers today at Lambeau.
[1:21:17 – 1:21:18] Adam: And going to win by 17.
[1:21:19 – 1:21:21] Adam: It’s going to be a stomping, I would say.
[1:21:26 – 1:21:31] Adam: And Aaron Rodgers, three touchdowns sounds about right.
[1:21:33 – 1:21:36] Adam: One on the ground maybe, something like that.
[1:21:36 – 1:21:38] Adam: I think the defense is going to show up.
[1:21:39 – 1:21:49] Adam: You know, we’re missing a few people, but I really believe if this defense can figure their ass out, we got a real chance here at the pack this year.
[1:21:50 – 1:21:54] Adam: All right, for real, though, thank you for listening.
[1:21:54 – 1:21:57] Adam: Thank you for coming along on this adventure into the unknown.
