Episode Transcript

[0:00:20 – 0:00:21] UNKNOWN: Thank you.
[0:00:35 – 0:00:55] Adam: Life is good to those who know how to live I do not ever hope to accumulate great funds of worldly wealth But I shall accumulate something far more valuable A store of wonderful memories When I reach the twilight of my life I shall look back and say I’m glad I lived as I did Life has been good to me
[0:00:57 – 0:00:59] Adam: Welcome to Tumble Home, a Boundary Waters podcast.
[0:01:00 – 0:01:03] Adam: This is episode 300 of 999.
[0:01:03 – 0:01:04] Adam: My name is Adam.
[0:01:04 – 0:01:06] Adam: Joining me here in the shed is my dear friend, Eric.
[0:01:06 – 0:01:07] Adam: Good evening, Eric.
[0:01:07 – 0:01:09] Adam: Good evening, 300.
[0:01:10 – 0:01:20] Erik: Do you think those thoughts were rolling through his noggin as he was snowshoeing out to his writing shack before he collapsed in the best way possible?
[0:01:21 – 0:01:22] Adam: That’s the way to go, baby.
[0:01:22 – 0:01:23] Adam: Yeah.
[0:01:23 – 0:01:26] Adam: On your snowshoes with a lot of memories.
[0:01:26 – 0:01:26] Adam: Yeah.
[0:01:27 – 0:01:30] Erik: Yeah, I’ve always kind of been a person of that feeling.
[0:01:31 – 0:01:47] Erik: I’ve had friends, acquaintances, family members in the past who have kind of always, you know, as humans like to do, talk about what their big plans are.
[0:01:47 – 0:01:48] Erik: Where do you see yourself?
[0:01:49 – 0:01:52] Erik: What do you want to do with your life?
[0:01:53 – 0:01:54] Erik: And there’s always been something.
[0:01:54 – 0:02:01] Erik: And it was, I think, probably either before Sigurd or maybe because of him when I read him as a youth.
[0:02:03 – 0:02:11] Erik: it was more about the accumulation of experiences and memories than the accumulation of wealth.
[0:02:12 – 0:02:16] Adam: I was trying to actually figure out exactly where that quote came from.
[0:02:17 – 0:02:21] Adam: And, um, I spent like seven minutes on it before I had to leave for work this morning and I couldn’t find it.
[0:02:21 – 0:02:23] Adam: So it doesn’t exist then.
[0:02:23 – 0:02:23] Adam: Yeah.
[0:02:23 – 0:02:24] Adam: Who knows?
[0:02:24 – 0:02:26] Adam: I hope it’s a real cigarette quote, but I believe it is.
[0:02:26 – 0:02:27] Adam: It rings true.
[0:02:27 – 0:02:28] Adam: And, um,
[0:02:29 – 0:02:39] Adam: Yeah, I was trying to find the right words for the feeling of it being the 300th episode of this show, which is incredible.
[0:02:39 – 0:02:40] Adam: Kind of insane.
[0:02:40 – 0:02:41] Adam: Yeah.
[0:02:41 – 0:02:44] Adam: And that was the best one I was able to find.
[0:02:44 – 0:02:46] Adam: And I think that sums it up pretty well.
[0:02:46 – 0:02:58] Adam: This is the wealth, not just the time that you and I have been able to spend together, but all the other stories and memories we’ve been able to hear from people who listen to this show.
[0:02:58 – 0:03:00] Adam: Yeah.
[0:03:01 – 0:03:09] Adam: That’s the kind of wealth that I had no idea that we were going to find when we started this project, what, eight years ago now?
[0:03:09 – 0:03:10] Adam: It’s insane.
[0:03:10 – 0:03:13] Erik: February 16th, 2018.
[0:03:14 – 0:03:16] Erik: Pretty nuts.
[0:03:16 – 0:03:18] Erik: 001 BWCA Basics.
[0:03:18 – 0:03:20] Erik: That was the first episode…
[0:03:20 – 0:03:22] Adam: I was listening to it when Eric got here.
[0:03:23 – 0:03:24] Adam: I beat him up to the shed.
[0:03:24 – 0:03:25] Adam: I wasn’t really super happy about that.
[0:03:26 – 0:03:27] Adam: What are you listening to?
[0:03:28 – 0:03:29] Adam: What are you listening to, 001?
[0:03:29 – 0:03:30] Adam: Are you listening to me?
[0:03:31 – 0:03:31] Adam: Yeah, I am.
[0:03:31 – 0:03:34] Erik: I just need a refresher on how permits work.
[0:03:34 – 0:03:45] Adam: I actually learned that you should always just go with two people on the permit right away just to make sure that you can always increase it all the way up to the max, or you can go back down to one.
[0:03:45 – 0:03:49] Adam: But I learned that from this guy, Eric, on episode one.
[0:03:50 – 0:04:15] Erik: yeah the most listened to podcasts yeah in our entire repertoire it’s a good one yeah it’s a real good back when we used to title episodes to help people find information in episode two we claimed we’re trying to help people find the boundary waters yeah and find good information on the boundary waters so i think that’s still a fine point like we did also relatively uh
[0:04:16 – 0:04:18] Erik: It’s not extremely well known.
[0:04:18 – 0:04:19] Erik: It’s kind of surprising.
[0:04:19 – 0:04:23] Adam: That was the stated goal of the podcast back in the early days.
[0:04:24 – 0:04:25] Adam: Have we succeeded?
[0:04:25 – 0:04:25] Adam: I think so.
[0:04:26 – 0:04:29] Adam: I’m sure we’ve helped somebody find something.
[0:04:29 – 0:04:34] Erik: I’m sure a person or two has found a thing or two.
[0:04:35 – 0:04:40] Adam: I had a listener come up to me in the co-op last week and was like, me and my friends went to Johnson Falls all in one day.
[0:04:41 – 0:04:41] Adam: It was a long day.
[0:04:41 – 0:04:43] Adam: I was like, yeah, that’s a pretty good day trip.
[0:04:43 – 0:04:45] Adam: I’m like, yeah, it was all because we listened to Tumble Home.
[0:04:46 – 0:04:48] Adam: We felt that we could do it after listening.
[0:04:49 – 0:04:50] Adam: And I was like, that’s amazing.
[0:04:50 – 0:04:51] Adam: How was the swimming?
[0:04:51 – 0:04:55] Adam: And they’re like, we had the whole place to ourselves for like a whole hour in July.
[0:04:56 – 0:04:56] Adam: Incredible.
[0:04:56 – 0:05:11] Erik: Yeah, no, it’s kind of one of those weird things that still seven plus years in does surprise me.
[0:05:13 – 0:05:40] Erik: in the ways that we’ve been able to reach people the community that has been built both because of us and then outside of us um and all of the things that technology brings to allow that to happen you know your discord i uh you know i’m always kind of like ragging on the discord in general but it’s kind of a cool place really
[0:05:42 – 0:05:45] Adam: It is, and it’s immediate, and I don’t know.
[0:05:45 – 0:05:51] Adam: I feel it’s a little bit more trustworthy than other forms of social networking at this point.
[0:05:51 – 0:05:52] Adam: Yeah, oh, totally, yeah.
[0:05:52 – 0:05:56] Adam: And yeah, like today, the day of recording, you know, you’re like, man, big day.
[0:05:56 – 0:05:59] Adam: Episode 300, and people are on there like, holy moly, hot dog.
[0:05:59 – 0:06:01] Erik: This day of recording.
[0:06:01 – 0:06:07] Adam: Somebody on there is like, we’re trying to send you a WAV file, and I said, please convert it to an MP3.
[0:06:08 – 0:06:09] Adam: Trevor doesn’t know how to convert files.
[0:06:10 – 0:06:11] Erik: Oh, Trevor.
[0:06:11 – 0:06:12] Erik: Oh, Trevor.
[0:06:13 – 0:06:14] Adam: Yeah.
[0:06:14 – 0:06:15] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:06:15 – 0:06:15] Adam: Our dear boy.
[0:06:16 – 0:06:18] Adam: He can’t convert them.
[0:06:19 – 0:06:20] Erik: He’s too busy picking up his sticks.
[0:06:20 – 0:06:25] Erik: He’s too busy picking up sticks and trying to figure out how to update Adobe for the fifth year straight.
[0:06:27 – 0:06:36] Erik: I feel like all of these things, that’s the challenge sometimes is you’re like, I feel like we’ve said a lot of this and we’re not going to sit here and talk about how…
[0:06:39 – 0:06:41] Erik: I don’t even know like what the word is really.
[0:06:41 – 0:06:50] Erik: It’s like it’s gratitude, but it’s also kind of just like mild surprise and shock that.
[0:06:52 – 0:07:03] Erik: So many of these weird little things have come out of a project that seemed so small at the start and is still probably in the grand scheme of things.
[0:07:03 – 0:07:12] Erik: You know, if you’re like a fat cat, like capitalist or whatever, they might look at it and be like, you know, small, small potatoes.
[0:07:13 – 0:07:17] Erik: Whatever these guys are doing, they’re not making any advertising dollars.
[0:07:17 – 0:07:19] Erik: These numbers don’t sing.
[0:07:20 – 0:07:31] Erik: It’s no wonder why we’ve never been approached by a legitimate advertiser because there’s not enough numbers to make it make sense for them.
[0:07:31 – 0:07:32] Erik: That was never the goal.
[0:07:32 – 0:07:34] Erik: I’m glad that wasn’t the goal.
[0:07:34 – 0:07:35] Erik: Hey, Adam’s.
[0:07:38 – 0:07:44] Erik: Let me tell you, we can really make a lot of money off this boundary waters thing.
[0:07:44 – 0:07:45] Adam: Let me tell you about all this dough.
[0:07:45 – 0:07:46] Adam: Yeah.
[0:07:46 – 0:07:49] Adam: We’ll be printing money off the paddle.
[0:07:49 – 0:07:50] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:50 – 0:07:52] Erik: It kind of started in a weird way.
[0:07:52 – 0:07:57] Erik: You know, I think, again, I’ve said many of these things in the past, you know, as a replacement for…
[0:07:59 – 0:08:20] Erik: regular blog posts originally and i knew we had a good camaraderie on the mics or just in person i actually had no idea how we would sound on mic but i think we’re already doing radio stuff at that point yeah that’s true like we definitely had been in in front of microphones together and kind of understood
[0:08:21 – 0:08:42] Adam: generally how to behave part of the key of that is we can like talk with our eyes with just like i can look yeah like we have pretty good timing in that way yeah um we have an understanding i think yeah we do have an understanding and you know over the years we’ve heard from uh many people listeners um
[0:08:43 – 0:08:45] Erik: You guys can talk about anything and I would listen.
[0:08:45 – 0:08:48] Erik: You know, we always want to try and keep it mostly Boundary Waters based, at least for now.
[0:08:49 – 0:08:51] Erik: And here we are, 300 episodes in.
[0:08:51 – 0:08:55] Erik: Always a bit of a joke from the beginning that we would get to 1,000.
[0:08:56 – 0:08:57] Erik: I guess the original joke was 999.
[0:08:57 – 0:08:57] Adam: Yeah.
[0:08:58 – 0:09:00] Adam: But yeah, that makes sense.
[0:09:01 – 0:09:03] Adam: We’re almost a third of the way to our goal at this point.
[0:09:03 – 0:09:06] Erik: I don’t know if we’re getting to 1,000.
[0:09:07 – 0:09:08] Erik: I’ve got a lot of years left in me.
[0:09:10 – 0:09:14] Erik: I mean, we’re not stopping, but there’s going to be a little break.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:18] Erik: We’ll just say that right here under 10 minutes in.
[0:09:18 – 0:09:21] Erik: I’ve got a big 10-day trip.
[0:09:21 – 0:09:25] Erik: Very excited into the depths of Quetico.
[0:09:26 – 0:09:29] Erik: From the north, Nim, Batchawan, and then who knows where.
[0:09:30 – 0:09:31] Erik: And then, obviously, the Tumble Homey trip.
[0:09:32 – 0:09:33] Adam: That’s not even on this map.
[0:09:33 – 0:09:34] Adam: It’s off the map.
[0:09:34 – 0:09:35] Adam: It’s so far north, it’s off the big map.
[0:09:35 – 0:09:36] Erik: It’s off the big map.
[0:09:37 – 0:09:37] Erik: We all know.
[0:09:37 – 0:09:41] Erik: I had to special order an F-29 from Paragus.
[0:09:41 – 0:09:41] Erik: F-29, baby.
[0:09:42 – 0:09:48] Erik: And I paid normal shipping, and the thing arrived less than 24 hours after I shipped it.
[0:09:49 – 0:09:51] Erik: But there was a two-day shipping option.
[0:09:52 – 0:09:54] Erik: I was like, what would have happened if I would have selected that?
[0:09:54 – 0:09:55] Erik: It was like twice as much.
[0:09:55 – 0:09:58] Erik: It was like a $30 shipping option.
[0:09:58 – 0:10:02] Adam: So they would have arrived like riding a magic hatchet in the night.
[0:10:03 – 0:10:04] Erik: Monk would have shown up?
[0:10:05 – 0:10:06] Adam: Monk riding a hatchet.
[0:10:06 – 0:10:06] Adam: Yeah.
[0:10:07 – 0:10:09] Adam: You know, in the air, I’m talking.
[0:10:09 – 0:10:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:10:10 – 0:10:12] Erik: I got 30, obviously.
[0:10:12 – 0:10:13] Erik: We had 30 this spring.
[0:10:13 – 0:10:16] Erik: I don’t know if we’re going to get on to 30 on this trip.
[0:10:16 – 0:10:18] Erik: I think we’re going to head west.
[0:10:18 – 0:10:23] Erik: I think we’re going to retrace our steps into the Kasakaquag, Quetico Lake region.
[0:10:24 – 0:10:27] Adam: If you go back to Quetico, please stop at the pictographs.
[0:10:27 – 0:10:31] Adam: I’m still upset that we didn’t really search those out a little bit.
[0:10:31 – 0:10:33] Adam: We were in tough stuff then.
[0:10:34 – 0:10:36] Erik: Yeah, there wasn’t too much of an opportunity for us.
[0:10:36 – 0:10:39] Adam: We were lollygagging when we went through Quetico.
[0:10:39 – 0:10:40] Adam: Lays about next to a…
[0:10:41 – 0:10:44] Adam: I was almost freezing to death trying to eat marshmallows to stay alive.
[0:10:44 – 0:10:48] Adam: So, I mean, it wasn’t a whole lot of sightseeing to be had on Quetico Lake.
[0:10:48 – 0:10:52] Adam: But if you do get back there and it’s nice, please go find the pictographs for us both.
[0:10:52 – 0:10:53] Adam: Avenge us, Eric.
[0:10:53 – 0:10:53] Adam: Yeah.
[0:10:53 – 0:10:57] Erik: The quote-unquote Indian paintings will not be missed this time.
[0:10:57 – 0:11:04] Erik: They’re all marked, heavily marked still on the freshest and newest iteration of F-29.
[0:11:05 – 0:11:05] Erik: Beautiful.
[0:11:05 – 0:11:06] Erik: Good colors.
[0:11:07 – 0:11:08] Erik: Did I tell you this story?
[0:11:08 – 0:11:10] Erik: I was looking for F-29.
[0:11:10 – 0:11:10] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:11 – 0:11:13] Erik: And I went into the Lake Superior trading posts.
[0:11:13 – 0:11:13] Erik: Of course.
[0:11:14 – 0:11:14] Erik: Everybody’s favorite.
[0:11:15 – 0:11:15] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:15 – 0:11:16] Erik: Bottom right drawer.
[0:11:16 – 0:11:19] Erik: Forgetting shoes and maps in Grand Bray.
[0:11:20 – 0:11:21] Erik: And I was digging around.
[0:11:22 – 0:11:23] Erik: They got good sunglasses.
[0:11:23 – 0:11:37] Erik: Rooting around like a truffle pig in that map case, looking for F28, 29, 24, and 25 because I am headed to the northern terminus, putting in a nim, going in that neck of the woods, maybe getting down to Sturgeon.
[0:11:38 – 0:11:41] Erik: And they had them all, except for F29.
[0:11:41 – 0:11:44] Erik: Probably not one of those maps that they have to reorder very often.
[0:11:44 – 0:11:48] Erik: It’s about as far away from where we are currently as a Fisher map gets.
[0:11:50 – 0:11:57] Adam: I was like, all right, well, I’ll just maybe try going over to the… You could just stop at the Dawson Trail campground and probably buy it there.
[0:11:57 – 0:12:02] Adam: I could have, but… From the camp store, it’d only take you 18 minutes to check out.
[0:12:03 – 0:12:03] Adam: Get that.
[0:12:03 – 0:12:04] Adam: You can knock all the paddles over again.
[0:12:04 – 0:12:05] Adam: It’d be a lot of fun.
[0:12:05 – 0:12:08] Adam: Well, I’m sure I would walk in and they would be just falling over.
[0:12:08 – 0:12:09] Erik: Clodhoppers.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:11] Adam: Going in there with your muck boots.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:15] Adam: Just immediately shatter the paddles.
[0:12:15 – 0:12:15] Erik: I got Astros.
[0:12:15 – 0:12:17] Erik: I’m going to Astros this trip.
[0:12:17 – 0:12:18] Adam: Oh, you did?
[0:12:18 – 0:12:18] Adam: Yeah.
[0:12:19 – 0:12:40] Erik: yes sir my first trip with astrals yes sir uh to finish the map hunting story up though i could not find f29 from the lake superior trading place so i went over to northern goods which is uh previously stone harbor and i walked in there and there was two bros
[0:12:41 – 0:12:42] Erik: behind the checkout counter.
[0:12:43 – 0:12:44] Erik: Two people working?
[0:12:44 – 0:12:46] Erik: There was two people in there and I was the only one in the store.
[0:12:46 – 0:12:48] Erik: I walked in and I’m like, yeah, can I help you find anything?
[0:12:48 – 0:12:50] Erik: I was like, yeah, do you guys have any Fisher maps?
[0:12:51 – 0:12:55] Erik: And they were like, no, we only have McKenzie’s and Voyager’s.
[0:12:55 – 0:12:56] Erik: Okay.
[0:12:56 – 0:12:59] Erik: And I just immediately turned about face.
[0:13:01 – 0:13:11] Erik: turned around and started walking back out and the one guy’s like are you married to fishers and i stopped and i looked at him i’m like i ride and die with fishers you need to get fishers
[0:13:12 – 0:13:35] Erik: holy moly i mean it’s true yes i am married to fishers they’re the by far not even close most superior map have you listened to episode well i don’t know what 112 the maps episodes get these mckenzie’s out of here what are you doing is that like are you like under contract get fishers in here what are you doing
[0:13:36 – 0:13:36] Adam: Yeah.
[0:13:36 – 0:13:38] Erik: Are you beholden to McKenzie?
[0:13:38 – 0:13:38] Adam: Yeah.
[0:13:39 – 0:13:41] Adam: Are you guys under the thumb of Big Mac?
[0:13:43 – 0:13:44] Adam: Yes, I am married to Fisher.
[0:13:44 – 0:13:46] Adam: Who’s married to what now?
[0:13:47 – 0:13:50] Adam: I’m a proud independent podcast, you son of a bitch.
[0:13:50 – 0:13:50] Adam: Yeah.
[0:13:51 – 0:13:54] Erik: I was like, I don’t appreciate the tone, first of all.
[0:13:54 – 0:13:56] Erik: I told you those guys are sassy asses in there.
[0:13:56 – 0:13:57] Adam: They’re sassy.
[0:13:57 – 0:14:04] Adam: I went in there to get my John Lake permit, and I was trying to be jovial, and the guy was just obviously having a horrible day and taking it out on everybody around him.
[0:14:05 – 0:14:06] Adam: I mean…
[0:14:07 – 0:14:29] Adam: you think you’re gonna sell a mckenzie map by asking me if i’m married to fishers yeah i don’t know i think this is just another example of um there’s a little too much negativity around and like people need to lead with positivity yeah and yeah what are you married to what uh yeah what why do you need the fisher where are you going you know a question maybe instead of an accusation
[0:14:29 – 0:14:35] Erik: But then they did, as I was walking out, they yelled at my back that the Lake Superior Trading Post had fishers.
[0:14:35 – 0:14:36] Erik: And I was like, yeah, I’ve already been there.
[0:14:38 – 0:14:43] Adam: Well, you were able to find it, though.
[0:14:43 – 0:14:45] Adam: Progress always comes through.
[0:14:45 – 0:14:49] Erik: Six hours of homing pigeon came over and dropped it in the night.
[0:14:49 – 0:14:51] Erik: Do you have them with you?
[0:14:51 – 0:14:52] Adam: No, I don’t.
[0:14:52 – 0:14:54] Adam: I want to look at those maps after the show, maybe.
[0:14:54 – 0:14:56] Adam: I always love a good map session.
[0:14:56 – 0:14:57] Adam: I don’t have any F-29s here in the shed.
[0:14:57 – 0:14:58] Adam: I know.
[0:14:59 – 0:15:01] Erik: No, I don’t have it on me, but it’s a good looking map.
[0:15:02 – 0:15:04] Adam: I was listening to 02.
[0:15:04 – 0:15:05] Adam: I was listening to 001.
[0:15:05 – 0:15:06] Adam: 001 and 2.
[0:15:06 – 0:15:16] Adam: I was listening to 065 in which two multiple topics came up in 065, which is why there’s this tea kettle on there.
[0:15:16 – 0:15:16] Adam: 065?
[0:15:16 – 0:15:17] Adam: 065.
[0:15:17 – 0:15:18] Erik: What were you popping into 065 for?
[0:15:19 – 0:15:24] Adam: A little birdie told me about something in the show that I should check out, and so I went back to it.
[0:15:25 – 0:15:34] Adam: And number one, we discussed how we had recently filled in a bunch of routes on the big map and how like, oh, I’d been meaning to do it for a while.
[0:15:35 – 0:15:37] Adam: And then I feel like I say that every three months.
[0:15:37 – 0:15:39] Adam: I’m like, I got to get those markers out here.
[0:15:40 – 0:15:42] Adam: And so you notice the box of markers is over there.
[0:15:43 – 0:15:51] Adam: And before we got here, I got here a little early, and I both highlighted some that were kind of getting faded, but I also did add a few things onto this map.
[0:15:52 – 0:15:57] Adam: Unfortunately, Trousers Lake isn’t on this map, and neither is Quetico, really.
[0:15:59 – 0:16:02] Adam: So it’s limited, but I did manage to update it.
[0:16:02 – 0:16:06] Adam: I think this map is currently accurate as to everywhere we have paddled in the park.
[0:16:07 – 0:16:17] Adam: In 002, we joked about how if we go to 999 episodes, it’s probably about two episodes for each lake in the Boundary Waters.
[0:16:17 – 0:16:22] Adam: I was pleased to say we were already calling it the park in 002.
[0:16:22 – 0:16:22] Adam: Good.
[0:16:22 – 0:16:26] Adam: And you did say the phrase happy paddling at the very end of 002.
[0:16:26 – 0:16:28] Adam: So, I mean, we had the formula kind of there.
[0:16:30 – 0:16:37] Adam: Anyways, I did come out here with the boy earlier before dinner, and we kind of filled it in and drew on there.
[0:16:39 – 0:16:39] Adam: So, I don’t know.
[0:16:39 – 0:16:41] Adam: I think it looks pretty good, honestly.
[0:16:41 – 0:16:47] Adam: It doesn’t have the whole story and all the memories, but there’s a lot of memories on these, like, markered routes out here.
[0:16:48 – 0:16:54] Erik: This map that’s on the wall here could probably just come up another 12 inches.
[0:16:54 – 0:16:56] Erik: Yeah, this bottom half doesn’t need to be on here.
[0:16:56 – 0:16:57] Erik: I don’t need this bottom.
[0:16:57 – 0:16:58] Erik: What’s going on down here?
[0:16:58 – 0:16:59] Erik: Like, I don’t need…
[0:16:59 – 0:17:01] Adam: The timber-free air loop is down here, which I did fill in.
[0:17:01 – 0:17:02] Adam: I hate to cut that out.
[0:17:02 – 0:17:04] Adam: That was a solo trip, but I’m still putting it on there.
[0:17:04 – 0:17:05] Erik: No, sure.
[0:17:05 – 0:17:09] Adam: It was discussed on the show, and therefore it goes on the map, so…
[0:17:09 – 0:17:16] Adam: I kind of like re-highlighted the Frost River Loop and the Man Chain and the Emerald Route there through Plow.
[0:17:17 – 0:17:18] Adam: Blackstone was on there too.
[0:17:18 – 0:17:20] Adam: Yeah, Blackstone was not on there.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:21] Adam: Nice.
[0:17:21 – 0:17:22] Adam: That one got added.
[0:17:25 – 0:17:26] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:17:26 – 0:17:31] Adam: I had the Crocodile River at some point, and that wasn’t marked for some reason, but that was with Buddy Ty.
[0:17:31 – 0:17:33] Adam: So I don’t know.
[0:17:33 – 0:17:34] Adam: I think we got them all.
[0:17:34 – 0:17:36] Adam: So that was step one.
[0:17:36 – 0:17:41] Adam: Step two, and this isn’t really a thing, but we discussed how the guy – this is 065.
[0:17:41 – 0:17:46] Adam: We discussed how the guy got lost on his jet ski going out to Isle Royale and had to get rescued by a freighter.
[0:17:47 – 0:17:48] Adam: That was in the news that day.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:48] Adam: Wow.
[0:17:51 – 0:17:55] Adam: And my favorite part of that story was the lady in the marina was interviewed for the story.
[0:17:55 – 0:18:00] Adam: And she said, yeah, he insisted he had plenty of gas to make the trip.
[0:18:00 – 0:18:01] Adam: And I told him he shouldn’t do it.
[0:18:02 – 0:18:03] Adam: But, of course, he did it anyway.
[0:18:05 – 0:18:06] Adam: Classy old lady.
[0:18:08 – 0:18:09] Adam: You know, she knew.
[0:18:09 – 0:18:11] Adam: That’s one of the all-time greats.
[0:18:11 – 0:18:18] Adam: Anyways, the main reason I was listening to O6-5 is what is in this French press over here, which I showed it to you earlier.
[0:18:18 – 0:18:28] Adam: I did see the… Before I poured the hot water in, I had water boiling on the Coleman camp stove, and I haven’t used this French press in a while, but I found two troughs out here.
[0:18:28 – 0:18:29] Adam: I got blue and green.
[0:18:29 – 0:18:30] Erik: Is this going to work?
[0:18:32 – 0:18:33] Adam: Ooh, it looks steamy.
[0:18:33 – 0:18:34] Adam: It does look nice and hot.
[0:18:34 – 0:18:37] Adam: So I have a blue and a green camp trough out here.
[0:18:39 – 0:18:41] Adam: I hope we’re getting some poor audio there.
[0:18:42 – 0:18:46] Adam: And I got the old French press out here, which has been on a lot of trips.
[0:18:46 – 0:18:50] Adam: And honestly, we have fully converted to instant coffee.
[0:18:52 – 0:18:55] Adam: So we don’t get the French press going all that often.
[0:18:55 – 0:18:58] Adam: But man, it is nice to use the French press.
[0:19:04 – 0:19:05] Adam: That is very bitter.
[0:19:06 – 0:19:07] Erik: Holy moly.
[0:19:07 – 0:19:08] Erik: Whoa, what is that?
[0:19:11 – 0:19:12] Adam: It’s got medicinal properties.
[0:19:12 – 0:19:13] Adam: Don’t worry, Eric.
[0:19:13 – 0:19:15] Erik: Man, is that going to cure my ailment?
[0:19:15 – 0:19:18] Adam: Yeah, I think this is what you need, actually.
[0:19:19 – 0:19:21] Adam: See, it’s working its way out.
[0:19:22 – 0:19:24] Erik: I’ve been hacking for about a week here.
[0:19:24 – 0:19:26] Erik: I don’t know if you’ve noticed, listeners.
[0:19:28 – 0:19:37] Erik: There’s not too many things that are on my top ten list of worst things in the world than a summer cold.
[0:19:38 – 0:19:40] Erik: But I’ve got one.
[0:19:41 – 0:19:42] Adam: I’ve had one since last week.
[0:19:43 – 0:19:43] Adam: All right.
[0:19:43 – 0:19:44] Adam: So I’m just going to cue.
[0:19:44 – 0:19:46] Adam: I have it queued up on my phone.
[0:19:46 – 0:19:49] Adam: I’m just going to play you the passage from 065 to explain what we’re drinking.
[0:19:49 – 0:19:50] Adam: Is this cool?
[0:19:50 – 0:19:50] Erik: Yeah, sure.
[0:19:50 – 0:19:51] Adam: Just lean your mic in here.
[0:19:51 – 0:19:52] Adam: I’m going to hit play.
[0:19:52 – 0:19:53] Adam: Crank it.
[0:19:53 – 0:19:53] Adam: All right, here we go.
[0:19:53 – 0:19:54] Erik: And hold it right next to the mic.
[0:19:56 – 0:19:56] Adam: Is this going to work, though?
[0:19:57 – 0:19:57] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:20:07 – 0:20:15] Adam: today, just outside Studio K. Neighbor Tim pointed out that this is what they flavor Mr. Pibb and Dr. Pepper with.
[0:20:16 – 0:20:17] Adam: It’s that smell.
[0:20:17 – 0:20:21] Adam: If anybody out there listening knows, it’s one of the secret spices.
[0:20:21 – 0:20:22] Adam: You getting that?
[0:20:22 – 0:20:23] Adam: Yeah.
[0:20:23 – 0:20:25] Adam: So Sweet Flag is its common name, and I just wanted to quick read.
[0:20:25 – 0:20:29] Adam: It’s Acaris calamus, also called Sweet Flag or just calamus.
[0:20:30 – 0:20:36] Adam: It’s a species of flowering, grassy plant, a tall wetland monocot.
[0:20:37 – 0:20:40] Adam: That means it only has one thing, right?
[0:20:41 – 0:20:55] Adam: It’s just one flower per clump, but apparently it will grow almost like a rhubarb, and then you can cut off chunks of the root ball, dry the roots, and then ingest them as a tea.
[0:20:55 – 0:21:01] Adam: It is a traditional medicine used over the centuries to treat digestive disorders and pain.
[0:21:02 – 0:21:29] Adam: um there’s not much in the way of clinical evidence but uh the native peoples and people throughout the the entirety of human existence have used this you find it near a lot of like ancient um civilizations like where they settled you’ll find this plant still growing nice um yeah neighbor tim he’s a real um a real source of wealth all sorts of plants and interesting things uh so wealth of knowledge
[0:21:30 – 0:21:38] Adam: Yes, he’s a wealth of knowledge, and so thanks to him, we have Sweet Flag growing out near the fairway of Hole 1 on the local disc golf course here.
[0:21:38 – 0:21:38] Adam: Huzzah.
[0:21:39 – 0:21:51] Adam: So I think in a year or two, we’ll try and dig up, probably in Season 5 or 6 of Tumble Home, we’ll try and dig up some of the Sweet Flag root, put a bookmark in this, and we’ll come back to it, and then we’ll actually dry some and try it and see if it helps our digestion.
[0:21:51 – 0:21:52] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:53 – 0:21:53] SPEAKER_02: There you go.
[0:21:53 – 0:21:54] Erik: All right.
[0:21:54 – 0:21:59] Adam: I hope your digestion’s been soothed and your throat is feeling a lot better already.
[0:21:59 – 0:22:03] Erik: Long digestion maybe, but we’ll see how the digestion goes tomorrow.
[0:22:03 – 0:22:14] Adam: So I totally forgot about it, and luckily I had marked where I had put the plant and was able to locate it and pick a bunch of it, and I did take a big chunk of the root out of it.
[0:22:15 – 0:22:18] Erik: It is bitter, but it doesn’t taste terrible.
[0:22:18 – 0:22:26] Adam: No, the, honestly, the, the greenery and the top of the bulb does have like a very distinct Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb, uh, smell to it.
[0:22:27 – 0:22:29] Adam: So I had to like chopped up a bunch of that and dried it.
[0:22:29 – 0:22:34] Adam: And then I did chop up and dry some of the root, which is what was in the French press when you got here.
[0:22:35 – 0:22:36] Adam: And, uh,
[0:22:37 – 0:22:38] Adam: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:22:38 – 0:22:47] Adam: So anyways, then funny enough, of course, because of the way the universe works, I’m at the co-op today working, and neighbor Tim, there he is, wandering around in the co-op.
[0:22:47 – 0:22:50] Adam: I said, hey, Tim, remember when you gave me the sweet flag?
[0:22:51 – 0:22:53] Erik: Yeah, anymore of that sweet flag.
[0:22:53 – 0:22:56] Adam: I said, I dug it up and dried the roots, and we’re going to make a tea from it tonight.
[0:22:57 – 0:22:59] Adam: He goes, oh, that’s bitter stuff.
[0:23:00 – 0:23:00] Erik: Yeah.
[0:23:00 – 0:23:01] Adam: I was like, you gave it to me.
[0:23:02 – 0:23:03] Erik: You told me to do this.
[0:23:03 – 0:23:04] Erik: That’s bitter stuff.
[0:23:04 – 0:23:05] Adam: This was your whole idea, Tim.
[0:23:05 – 0:23:09] Adam: So anyways, I hope it cures everything that ails us.
[0:23:09 – 0:23:10] Adam: Thank you, Neighbor Tim.
[0:23:11 – 0:23:18] Adam: Thank you to Cheap Dancer for sending me the note about this being an episode 65 and reminding me that it was growing in my yard.
[0:23:18 – 0:23:32] Erik: Yeah, we could probably just do an entire episode of references to the previous 299 in terms of drinking things, eating things, mispronouncing bagel.
[0:23:32 – 0:23:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:23:34 – 0:23:36] Adam: I hear people are upset with the way you say bagel.
[0:23:37 – 0:23:37] Erik: I don’t really.
[0:23:38 – 0:23:38] Erik: I never.
[0:23:38 – 0:23:40] Erik: I don’t hear it.
[0:23:45 – 0:23:49] Erik: And I don’t really care to hear it, and I’m not going to try and adjust myself.
[0:23:49 – 0:23:49] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:23:51 – 0:23:55] Adam: Okay, now we’re getting to the bop-a-da-beep, bop-a-da-beep, time for the meat.
[0:23:55 – 0:23:57] Adam: We got some Idris Elba’s here.
[0:23:57 – 0:23:58] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:23:59 – 0:24:01] Adam: We have a real show sponsor.
[0:24:01 – 0:24:02] Adam: Don’t worry, people.
[0:24:02 – 0:24:03] Adam: Don’t worry, Hopalicious.
[0:24:03 – 0:24:05] Adam: Or is that an Axon on there?
[0:24:06 – 0:24:26] Adam: uh holy moly it’s a synapse i think it’s a dendrite i think it’s a dendrite but it’s a loose dendrite we got a scratch pad note here here you uh go you filthy animals another year of paddling here’s two extra tall boys to get you through inventory in the fourth of july mayhem yes it did

[0:24:44 – 0:24:47] Adam: So it’s a nerve dendrite, Eric.
[0:24:47 – 0:24:47] Adam: Which one did you get?
[0:24:48 – 0:24:50] Adam: I’ll give you the option to trade.

[0:25:14 – 0:25:24] Erik: I’m not that desperate for entertainment yet where I’m willing to dive into Doctor Who yet, but I’m saving it for when I’m bedridden in my 70s.
[0:25:24 – 0:25:27] Erik: It’s like, yeah, I need a show that’s like 20… Now it’s time.
[0:25:27 – 0:25:29] Erik: I need 25 seasons of a show that I can just like…
[0:25:30 – 0:25:32] Erik: It’s just going to be on constantly.
[0:25:33 – 0:25:35] Adam: I’ll watch all their Christmas specials when I’m 90.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:36] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:37] Adam: When I’m 99.
[0:25:38 – 0:25:40] Adam: After episode 999.
[0:25:40 – 0:25:42] Adam: Then I’ll start Doctor Who.
[0:25:42 – 0:25:43] Adam: These are huge.
[0:25:43 – 0:25:46] Adam: These are 32-ounce big whoppers.
[0:25:46 – 0:25:47] Erik: Multiple.
[0:25:47 – 0:25:50] Adam: From Manitouish Waters, one of the greatest places on Earth.
[0:25:50 – 0:25:52] Adam: And these are filled on in marker.
[0:25:52 – 0:25:56] Adam: It says, it looks like the solstice here.
[0:25:56 – 0:25:57] Adam: 621.
[0:25:57 – 0:25:58] Erik: Wow, a solstice fill.
[0:25:59 – 0:26:00] Adam: What is the note up there?
[0:26:01 – 0:26:05] Adam: I mean, it looks like they were dropped off like July 1st.
[0:26:05 – 0:26:06] Adam: All right, Poppy.
[0:26:06 – 0:26:07] Adam: Let’s go, Poppy.
[0:26:08 – 0:26:12] Adam: Poppy, it’s in stereo.
[0:26:13 – 0:26:15] Adam: Yeah, they’re perfectly ice cold.
[0:26:15 – 0:26:18] Adam: These were kept in the door of the mini fridge.
[0:26:18 – 0:26:19] Adam: Just barely.
[0:26:19 – 0:26:20] Adam: That door fell off.
[0:26:20 – 0:26:20] Adam: It’s so cold.
[0:26:20 – 0:26:20] Adam: Wow.
[0:26:20 – 0:26:20] Adam: The 300.
[0:26:20 – 0:26:21] Adam: Two 300.
[0:26:21 – 0:26:21] Erik: Holy moly, hot dog.
[0:26:33 – 0:26:35] Adam: The note has, it’s a scratch pad.
[0:26:35 – 0:26:36] Adam: Somebody’s scratching their butt on it.
[0:26:36 – 0:26:39] Erik: There’s literally a nude butt being scratched.
[0:26:39 – 0:26:40] Erik: Pretty good.
[0:26:41 – 0:26:42] Adam: Now, this is Tumble Home After Dark.
[0:26:42 – 0:26:46] Adam: We are coming to you from the tip of the arrowhead.
[0:26:46 – 0:26:48] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:26:48 – 0:26:51] Adam: And it truly is dark, and it’s almost Labor Day.
[0:26:52 – 0:26:56] Adam: And there’s a chill in the air, and the maple trees have started to turn.
[0:26:56 – 0:26:58] Adam: Just a little bit, yeah.
[0:26:58 – 0:26:59] Adam: And it’s lovely out.
[0:27:00 – 0:27:01] Adam: It’s quite lovely.
[0:27:02 – 0:27:08] Erik: We’re in a very prime week here, and every time I look at the forecast, I’m like, man, that is some sweet weather.
[0:27:09 – 0:27:18] Erik: And every time I think about how I wish I was starting the trip that I’m starting next week, if it could have started this week, would be ideal, but…
[0:27:20 – 0:27:20] Erik: It’s a 10-day trip.
[0:27:21 – 0:27:22] Erik: We’re going to run into all sorts of weather.
[0:27:23 – 0:27:23] Erik: You’ll get it all.
[0:27:24 – 0:27:24] Erik: Yeah.
[0:27:24 – 0:27:26] Erik: You probably won’t see too many people.
[0:27:26 – 0:27:27] Erik: So it’s going to be amazing.
[0:27:27 – 0:27:30] Erik: The stretch we’re in right now would be like, man.
[0:27:30 – 0:27:31] Adam: This weekend looks really nice.
[0:27:32 – 0:27:35] Erik: So if I was on the… Like a week from today, I will be…
[0:27:38 – 0:27:54] Adam: out there out on uh i don’t know kasaka quag having run the garden walk the mcalpine portage crazy i was thinking about kasaka quag the other night just like laying in bed it always comes back to me in the strangest times that section of the park
[0:27:54 – 0:27:55] Adam: I think I’ve said this before.
[0:27:55 – 0:27:56] Adam: It’s my go-to.
[0:27:56 – 0:27:59] Erik: Everybody counts sheep or does whatever when they fall asleep.
[0:27:59 – 0:28:03] Erik: I relive Bon Jovi trips or Quetico trips and that makes me fall asleep real quick.
[0:28:03 – 0:28:05] Adam: Just like running through the map?
[0:28:05 – 0:28:06] Erik: Yeah, just day to day.
[0:28:06 – 0:28:12] Erik: Just kind of like picture the map in your mind and night one.
[0:28:12 – 0:28:13] Erik: What do we do night one?
[0:28:14 – 0:28:14] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[0:28:15 – 0:28:15] Erik: Oh, night two.
[0:28:15 – 0:28:22] Erik: Yeah, the in-betweens are, you know, a little more fuzzy, but those nights, you always remember those nights and where you ended up.
[0:28:22 – 0:28:22] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:28:22 – 0:28:27] Adam: I was like remembering like individual paddle strokes on Kasaka Quag and what, that was 2011?
[0:28:27 – 0:28:27] Adam: Yeah.
[0:28:29 – 0:28:32] Adam: Like individual waves we were like smashing into.
[0:28:32 – 0:28:35] Erik: Yeah, I do still remember some of those waves crashing over the…
[0:28:38 – 0:29:00] Erik: over the bow of the canoe as we decided we just can’t go on anymore and we just shoved it right into land and then had to walk around the point to get to a campsite yeah there’s a lot of those different memories but yeah just the retracing of the only like remember the dead calm reflections and like the far out zoom but like i have those like individual like
[0:29:02 – 0:29:12] Adam: Very, like, memorable little, like, mini clips of, like, video still, like, seared into my synapses.
[0:29:13 – 0:29:13] Adam: Yeah.
[0:29:14 – 0:29:16] Adam: Like I’m at Sumnerf Brewing in Manitouche Waters.
[0:29:17 – 0:29:18] SPEAKER_02: God, that’s a big beer.
[0:29:19 – 0:29:22] Adam: The dendrites are alive.
[0:29:22 – 0:29:37] Adam: But yeah, that’s one of my favorite things to think about when I’m trying to shake something else or if I’m just in bed and need to ease the mind is remembering the old trips, which is what’s really nice about having this big map out here.
[0:29:38 – 0:29:41] Adam: And the same reason I love to look at maps.
[0:29:41 – 0:29:43] Adam: It’s the same exact thing.
[0:29:43 – 0:29:44] Erik: Yeah.
[0:29:45 – 0:29:46] Adam: We got a big show tonight, I think, huh?
[0:29:47 – 0:29:48] Adam: Or maybe not.
[0:29:48 – 0:29:49] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:29:49 – 0:29:49] Erik: We’re a half hour in.
[0:29:49 – 0:29:50] Erik: We could probably shut her down.
[0:29:51 – 0:29:55] Adam: We’re going to have the longest episode ever, probably three hours.
[0:29:56 – 0:29:58] Adam: It’s a good thing we have massive 32-ounce beers.
[0:29:58 – 0:30:07] Erik: Depending on the frequency of bathroom breaks based on the size of this beer, we’re probably going to be here for three, four hours.
[0:30:07 – 0:30:08] Adam: I have no idea what to expect.
[0:30:08 – 0:30:10] Adam: I haven’t looked at the thread.
[0:30:11 – 0:30:11] Adam: I don’t even know.
[0:30:12 – 0:30:16] Adam: This show could go any number of directions from this point onward.
[0:30:16 – 0:30:30] Erik: Yeah, we could be done in 20 minutes or, yeah, we could be here three hours from now and maybe the first time ever recording over the course of two days.
[0:30:31 – 0:30:32] Erik: Holy schmokes, Gus.
[0:30:32 – 0:30:34] Adam: Holy schmokes.
[0:30:34 – 0:30:38] Adam: Yeah, hopefully the tea doesn’t adversely affect us.
[0:30:38 – 0:30:40] Adam: I think it’s only going to help, though.
[0:30:41 – 0:30:42] Adam: Neighbor Tim would never lead us astray.
[0:30:42 – 0:30:44] Adam: I mean, he was in the 78 at Ditterodd.
[0:30:45 – 0:30:45] Erik: Yeah.
[0:30:45 – 0:30:47] Adam: The guy knows everything there is to know about plants.
[0:30:47 – 0:30:48] Erik: We’re going to find out.
[0:30:49 – 0:30:51] Adam: But who knows what’s in the wetlands.
[0:30:56 – 0:31:15] Erik: we’re getting in emails we’re gonna start with emails before we get onto reddit electronic correspondence electronic correspondence if we’ve been roasted or toasted or otherwise but we’ve got a response episode zero zero six response what
[0:31:17 – 0:31:20] Adam: So somebody else is going back to the olden episodes, too.
[0:31:20 – 0:31:20] Adam: Yeah.
[0:31:21 – 0:31:22] Adam: You know, I was surprised we still sound like us.
[0:31:22 – 0:31:25] Adam: I was a little scared to go back to the…
[0:31:25 – 0:31:29] Adam: I was way more scared to go listen to the old episodes than to hear what the Tomomis have to say for roasting.
[0:31:29 – 0:31:31] Adam: Sounds like a great episode title.
[0:31:32 – 0:31:32] Adam: What?
[0:31:33 – 0:31:34] Adam: We still sound like us.
[0:31:34 – 0:31:35] Adam: We still sound like us.
[0:31:35 – 0:31:35] Adam: Yeah.
[0:31:35 – 0:31:36] Adam: We do.
[0:31:36 – 0:31:39] Adam: I was, like, a little nervous to go back and listen to the old episodes.
[0:31:39 – 0:31:42] Adam: It’s interesting when you, like, run into people who are like, I just started.
[0:31:42 – 0:31:43] Adam: It’s like, oh, God.
[0:31:43 – 0:31:43] Adam: Yeah.
[0:31:44 – 0:31:44] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:31:45 – 0:31:45] Adam: I’m sorry.
[0:31:45 – 0:31:46] Adam: Yeah.
[0:31:46 – 0:31:47] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:31:47 – 0:31:49] Adam: It actually still just sounds like us.
[0:31:50 – 0:31:50] Erik: Yeah.
[0:31:50 – 0:31:52] Erik: This is from David.
[0:31:53 – 0:31:53] Erik: Thank you.
[0:31:53 – 0:31:54] Erik: Eric with a C, of course.
[0:31:55 – 0:31:57] Erik: That’s enough.
[0:31:57 – 0:31:57] Erik: Real great.
[0:31:58 – 0:31:59] Erik: Eric Adam.
[0:31:59 – 0:32:00] Erik: No comma.
[0:32:00 – 0:32:01] Erik: Just Eric Adam.
[0:32:02 – 0:32:03] Adam: It’s just one person.
[0:32:03 – 0:32:07] Erik: Eric Adam, great to start listening from episode one.
[0:32:07 – 0:32:12] Erik: I pause 297 to get ready to start the rotisserie.
[0:32:12 – 0:32:12] Erik: Okay.
[0:32:13 – 0:32:29] Erik: Well, I don’t know if there’s going to be a rotisserie in here, but to answer your question proposed at the end of the episode six, my best sleep in my life has been in my Hennessy hammock in all of my most recent trips to the Boundary Waters.
[0:32:30 – 0:32:41] Erik: By the way, this may have come up in the last seven years, but I have seen many largemouth caught on the west side of the wilderness and have not seen any largemouth in the east yet.
[0:32:41 – 0:32:43] Erik: Looking forward to episode seven.
[0:32:43 – 0:32:44] Erik: Oh, man.
[0:32:49 – 0:32:50] Erik: And many more.
[0:32:50 – 0:32:52] Erik: Yeah, there’s a couple extra on top of that.
[0:32:53 – 0:32:57] Erik: Hoping I can at least get closer to where I started a few years ago.
[0:32:57 – 0:33:01] Erik: Yeah, I guess we must have talked about largemouth bass in episode six.
[0:33:01 – 0:33:03] Adam: I mean, did I mention South Bean?
[0:33:04 – 0:33:04] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:33:05 – 0:33:09] Adam: I just filled in the Crocodile River route through South Bean and Parsnip.
[0:33:09 – 0:33:12] Adam: And there is, wait, is it Bean or Parsnip?
[0:33:14 – 0:33:16] Adam: I think it’s on Parsnip.
[0:33:16 – 0:33:17] Adam: It has the largemouth bass.
[0:33:17 – 0:33:18] Adam: We were slamming them in there.
[0:33:19 – 0:33:21] Adam: But one of them has got largemouth, but they’re all tiny.
[0:33:22 – 0:33:23] Erik: We were slamming them.
[0:33:23 – 0:33:24] Erik: We were slamming them.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:24] Adam: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:33:25 – 0:33:27] Adam: Otherwise, you don’t hear about largemouth over here very much.
[0:33:28 – 0:33:28] Erik: I really would.
[0:33:29 – 0:33:37] Erik: I think if this podcast has any future, I think we need to hit more people responding to like the old episodes.
[0:33:38 – 0:33:39] Erik: You guys talked about this thing in episode 13.
[0:33:39 – 0:33:41] Erik: What’s your take on that?
[0:33:41 – 0:33:42] Erik: A couple of thoughts on that.
[0:33:43 – 0:33:43] Adam: Yeah.
[0:33:44 – 0:33:47] Adam: Let’s go back in time.
[0:33:47 – 0:33:49] Adam: I’m all for answering questions about the past.
[0:33:49 – 0:33:50] Adam: Yeah.
[0:33:50 – 0:33:52] Adam: As long as it pertains to Tumble Home episodes.
[0:33:52 – 0:33:53] Erik: Thank you, David.
[0:33:53 – 0:33:58] Erik: I don’t see any subsequent emails with a roast at all, but.
[0:33:58 – 0:34:04] Erik: There’s a pretty sick roast on largemouth bass over there.
[0:34:04 – 0:34:05] Erik: Yeah.
[0:34:05 – 0:34:10] Erik: This one’s from Jim slash road rage.
[0:34:10 – 0:34:11] Erik: Sorry.
[0:34:11 – 0:34:11] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:34:12 – 0:34:32] Erik: uh-oh did it dox you that’s a very unique name yeah i’ll read this one you can do the next one sorry for this massive wall of text that was voice recording and then transcribed to an email hopefully the format looks okay we’re gonna find out we’ll allow it here we go taking a deep breath yeah there you go
[0:34:34 – 0:34:40] Erik: As I have been walking today, I’ve struggled to think of something clever or funny to say for the 300th episode roast.
[0:34:41 – 0:34:45] Erik: Instead, I’m just going to say thank you.
[0:34:45 – 0:34:56] Erik: This podcast has given me knowledge and enjoyment far beyond anything I have ever experienced with other podcasts or any other media for that matter.
[0:34:57 – 0:34:58] Erik: My God.
[0:34:58 – 0:34:59] Erik: Send them the Peabody.
[0:34:59 – 0:35:00] Erik: I hope there’s not too many of these.
[0:35:00 – 0:35:07] Adam: I don’t know if I would be able to handle this level of… You’re going to find out you’ve been nominated for a Peabody by the end of this email, Eric.
[0:35:07 – 0:35:08] Erik: No, that’s fine.
[0:35:08 – 0:35:11] Erik: I don’t have any medals hanging on the wall.
[0:35:11 – 0:35:12] Adam: Somebody get this man a medal.
[0:35:12 – 0:35:13] Adam: I need a plaque.
[0:35:13 – 0:35:15] Adam: He’s not just the co-host.
[0:35:15 – 0:35:17] Adam: He’s also the producer, for Christ’s sakes.
[0:35:17 – 0:35:18] Adam: Give me a plaque.
[0:35:18 – 0:35:21] Adam: Trevor’s typing something over there furiously.
[0:35:21 – 0:35:23] Erik: On an actual typewriter, too.
[0:35:23 – 0:35:24] Erik: Where did he get that typewriter?
[0:35:24 – 0:35:30] Erik: Growing up in central Wisconsin, I had always been aware of the Boundary Waters, but had never been interested in going.
[0:35:31 – 0:35:34] Erik: My passion was always long-distance hiking.
[0:35:38 – 0:35:46] Adam: To be fair, Eric, in episode two, you did claim we’re going to be talking about all the different trails in the Boundary Waters and the great hikes we can go on.
[0:35:47 – 0:35:54] Adam: And also, to be fair, one of my favorite trips I’ve ever taken with you was in the Grand Canyon, which there’s not a boat to be seen.
[0:35:55 – 0:36:00] Erik: I’m still waiting on that timestamp from people who claim I absolutely trashed.
[0:36:01 – 0:36:02] Adam: I have news for you.
[0:36:02 – 0:36:03] Adam: It’s on the Wikipedia.
[0:36:04 – 0:36:05] Adam: Oh, it’s in the Wikipedia now?
[0:36:05 – 0:36:07] Adam: They were talking about it on the Discord this morning.
[0:36:07 – 0:36:10] Erik: I was quoting somebody when I said that.
[0:36:10 – 0:36:14] Erik: I don’t think it was my actual full-blown heartfelt opinion.
[0:36:14 – 0:36:17] Erik: Yeah, and people can change too.
[0:36:17 – 0:36:18] Adam: No, I can’t.
[0:36:18 – 0:36:20] Adam: That was a long time ago.
[0:36:20 – 0:36:28] Erik: I spent over 30 years exploring the nations, the nation’s trail systems, some of the really long and famous trails.
[0:36:29 – 0:36:32] Erik: keeping me away from home for three to four months at a time.
[0:36:34 – 0:36:34] Erik: Okay.
[0:36:35 – 0:36:44] Erik: Then, in the spring of 2021, I was invited to go on a fall trip into the BWCA with some old friends.
[0:36:45 – 0:36:51] Erik: I decided it was finally time to see what all the hype was about and go on a canoe adventure.
[0:36:52 – 0:36:57] Erik: One of my buddies suggested I listen to the first episode of the Tumble Home podcast.
[0:36:57 – 0:36:58] Erik: That’s why it’s number one.
[0:36:58 – 0:36:59] Erik: Number one, zero, zero, one.
[0:37:00 – 0:37:00] Erik: That’s all your basics.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:02] Erik: Pew, pew, pew, pew.
[0:37:03 – 0:37:05] Erik: It would help me understand how the basic system worked.
[0:37:05 – 0:37:09] Adam: Just imagine if you hadn’t added more party horns in 001, though.
[0:37:09 – 0:37:11] Adam: It would probably be like 10 times more listens.
[0:37:11 – 0:37:12] Erik: Yeah.
[0:37:12 – 0:37:14] Adam: Well, hindsight.
[0:37:15 – 0:37:15] Adam: Am I right?
[0:37:15 – 0:37:18] Adam: Well, we didn’t know back then what we know now.
[0:37:18 – 0:37:24] Adam: He also said the show wasn’t for everyone, but he had a feeling I would really like it.
[0:37:24 – 0:37:24] Adam: Yeah.
[0:37:25 – 0:37:26] Erik: It’s your kind of show.
[0:37:26 – 0:37:26] Erik: I love this.
[0:37:27 – 0:37:32] Erik: I love these kind of like backhanded comments slash criticisms.
[0:37:32 – 0:37:33] Erik: It’s just called honesty.
[0:37:33 – 0:37:36] Erik: Hey, it’s not for everybody, but you might like it.
[0:37:36 – 0:37:42] Erik: The next week while going on a trip, I spent the plane ride listening to Eric explain the basics.
[0:37:42 – 0:37:47] Erik: Then I got to hear from Adam and learn about how you two came to the North and
[0:37:48 – 0:37:50] Erik: And a little bit of history.
[0:37:51 – 0:37:55] Erik: By the time my flight was over, I started the Wireless Road episode and was hooked.
[0:37:56 – 0:37:56] Erik: Wow, yeah.
[0:37:57 – 0:38:00] Erik: That was one of our few concept episodes.
[0:38:01 – 0:38:02] Erik: Instant classic.
[0:38:02 – 0:38:07] Erik: Every time I was in a car or could have earbuds in, I was binging the show.
[0:38:07 – 0:38:15] Erik: When that first paddle trip arrived in the fall, I had listened to them all and was caught up to current episodes.
[0:38:16 – 0:38:24] Erik: It sounds cliche, but in a small way, the decisions to keep listening to all those old episodes from the beginning was life-altering.
[0:38:24 – 0:38:27] Erik: Wow, life-altering.
[0:38:28 – 0:38:31] Erik: I was introduced to a space I’ve come to love.
[0:38:32 – 0:38:35] Erik: I’ve been in the park two or three times each year since that first trip.
[0:38:36 – 0:38:48] Erik: To be able to hear you two as well as the community share experiences and passion and express the need to fight to protect one of nature’s most beautiful places is inspiring.
[0:38:49 – 0:38:50] Erik: A spark has been relit.
[0:38:51 – 0:38:56] Erik: I haven’t felt since I walked 2,000 miles from Georgia to Maine as a teenager.
[0:38:57 – 0:39:00] Erik: That sounds like a AT experience.
[0:39:02 – 0:39:06] Erik: In the last couple of years, I have drifted back towards something I used to be.
[0:39:06 – 0:39:18] Erik: I’ve gone from being a tired small business owner approaching 50 that would get out and walk for a few weeks a summer to someone who resembles that young man hiking north on the Appalachian Trail all those years ago.
[0:39:20 – 0:39:27] Erik: In your youth, when surrounded by like-minded people, it feels like those moments and feelings will last forever.
[0:39:28 – 0:39:31] Erik: But time moves on and life gets in the way.
[0:39:32 – 0:39:36] Erik: To have recaptured some of the old fire is something I am grateful for.
[0:39:37 – 0:39:39] Erik: And in no small way, part…
[0:39:40 – 0:39:40] Erik: Sorry.
[0:39:41 – 0:39:48] Erik: And in no small way, part of that is due to my friend saying, you should listen to this podcast.
[0:39:48 – 0:39:52] Erik: They probably rub… All right.
[0:39:53 – 0:39:53] Erik: Here we go.
[0:39:53 – 0:39:54] Erik: We got quotes.
[0:39:54 – 0:39:55] Erik: We got quotes.
[0:39:55 – 0:39:56] Erik: My friend saying…
[0:39:57 – 0:39:58] Erik: You should listen to this podcast.
[0:39:59 – 0:40:02] Erik: They probably rub a… God damn it.
[0:40:03 – 0:40:04] Erik: You should listen to this podcast.
[0:40:04 – 0:40:09] Erik: They probably rub a lot of people the wrong way, but you’d like it.
[0:40:10 – 0:40:14] Erik: I mean, that’s the highest compliment for me.
[0:40:15 – 0:40:17] Adam: That’s how you get the old fire back.
[0:40:17 – 0:40:18] Adam: So again.
[0:40:18 – 0:40:18] Adam: Oh, man.
[0:40:19 – 0:40:19] Adam: Thank you.
[0:40:20 – 0:40:20] Erik: Thank you.
[0:40:21 – 0:40:22] Erik: Yeah.
[0:40:23 – 0:40:23] Erik: That’s great.
[0:40:23 – 0:40:26] Erik: I mean, that might need to go in the show notes.
[0:40:27 – 0:40:29] Erik: They probably rub a lot of people the wrong way, but you’d like it.
[0:40:30 – 0:40:31] Adam: We should put that in our own.
[0:40:31 – 0:40:33] Adam: We should review our own show finally.
[0:40:33 – 0:40:35] Adam: That’ll be the review.
[0:40:35 – 0:40:38] Erik: Change the description that we’ve had for seven years.
[0:40:39 – 0:40:40] Erik: You probably won’t.
[0:40:40 – 0:40:43] Erik: Most people probably won’t like this, but you will.
[0:40:45 – 0:40:48] Adam: Yeah, actually, it makes it more exclusive, right?
[0:40:48 – 0:40:49] Erik: Yeah.
[0:40:49 – 0:40:50] Adam: It’s not for everybody.
[0:40:50 – 0:40:52] Adam: Honestly, have you seen everybody?
[0:40:52 – 0:40:53] Adam: Most people are idiots.
[0:40:53 – 0:40:54] Erik: Most people are idiots.
[0:40:55 – 0:40:57] Erik: Most people are just absolute idiots.
[0:40:57 – 0:40:58] Erik: We got a PS here.
[0:40:59 – 0:41:03] Erik: On a serious note, the grandma’s marathon ranch probably had the most passionate fire.
[0:41:05 – 0:41:05] Erik: The old fire.
[0:41:06 – 0:41:14] Erik: But the early Vistas episode with wrinkle rankers and the ranch about old people waving their 401k papers in your face is probably my favorite.
[0:41:15 – 0:41:15] Erik: What?
[0:41:15 – 0:41:16] Adam: I don’t remember that one.
[0:41:17 – 0:41:18] Adam: That sounds like you.
[0:41:18 – 0:41:23] Adam: That sounds like you.
[0:41:25 – 0:41:27] Adam: You know, it’s like lost.
[0:41:27 – 0:41:28] Adam: Everything that happened, happened.
[0:41:29 – 0:41:31] Adam: None of this was a dream.
[0:41:32 – 0:41:33] Adam: Absolutely not.
[0:41:33 – 0:41:35] Adam: We’re not in some sort of in-between state.
[0:41:35 – 0:41:39] Adam: This all really happened.
[0:41:40 – 0:41:41] Adam: People can change, but I don’t know.
[0:41:41 – 0:41:43] Adam: I was listening to the old episodes.
[0:41:43 – 0:41:44] Adam: It still does sound like us and
[0:41:45 – 0:42:05] Adam: i don’t know i guess we do rub some people the wrong way but i just feel like we know we’re honest and that there’s a lot of like crazy idiots in this world and uh we’re just trying to find the people that like um you know seek adventure want to keep moving and growing and that you know also don’t mind uh
[0:42:07 – 0:42:32] Adam: you know some humor i don’t know how to say this but i don’t think there’s any i don’t think there’s any real uh way that you can try and distill and what it is perfectly encapsulate you know the description i think it’s all i don’t know it’s all been said i guess i’m flattered that somebody recommended the show to you and thank you for listening anybody ever comes in the co-op they’re like oh man it’s so nice to meet you i’m like wow i mean thank you for listening
[0:42:33 – 0:42:53] Adam: yeah otherwise we wouldn’t do the show i mean i mean unlikely yeah we probably still do it but like it makes it a lot nicer that people do listen the real twist at the end is that the microphones were never plugged in and uh this is just me and eric talking the whole time yeah it’s real david lynch wrote all the emails too
[0:42:54 – 0:42:57] Adam: Trevor wrote most of the emails, actually, it turns out.
[0:42:57 – 0:42:59] Adam: He was doing a lot more than we thought, actually.
[0:42:59 – 0:43:02] Adam: He’s hoping that we really respond to this one.
[0:43:02 – 0:43:04] Adam: The typewriter is actually plugged in somehow?
[0:43:05 – 0:43:05] Adam: This whole time?
[0:43:06 – 0:43:06] Adam: How is it plugged in?
[0:43:07 – 0:43:07] Adam: Plugged into the email?
[0:43:07 – 0:43:08] Adam: Anyways, that was a good email.
[0:43:09 – 0:43:10] Erik: There’s one last sentence.
[0:43:10 – 0:43:11] Erik: Two sentences here.
[0:43:11 – 0:43:14] Erik: Email sent from just outside Twin Lakes Village, Colorado.
[0:43:15 – 0:43:18] Erik: I’m on night 10 of a Colorado trail through hike.
[0:43:19 – 0:43:20] Erik: Should finish in about two weeks.
[0:43:22 – 0:43:29] Erik: I’m just out here doing my part to fight the stereotype that hikers are not dirty hippies.
[0:43:31 – 0:43:32] Erik: Yeah.
[0:43:32 – 0:43:37] Erik: I may be dirty, but I did buy resupply food when I was in town.
[0:43:37 – 0:43:38] Erik: There you go.
[0:43:38 – 0:43:39] Erik: All right.
[0:43:39 – 0:43:42] Erik: Road Rage is who that’s from.
[0:43:42 – 0:43:43] Adam: Thank you.
[0:43:43 – 0:43:43] Adam: Road Rage is…
[0:43:44 – 0:43:59] Adam: rude rage keeping the fire alive um i don’t know i feel like i’m going in the right direction still and i’m probably like in better shape than i was a couple years ago
[0:44:00 – 0:44:27] Adam: mentally physically both both yeah i’m going in the direction i need to be going in right now i’m going in the right direction heading into the tumble homey trip right well we’re feeling pretty good i’m looking good you know things are looking up for us i think at all times on tumble home always we’re always going up baby yeah next up on the show a roast oh god the title is a roast yeah we met this is very bright first roasting thing

[0:44:31 – 0:44:32] Adam: This is a roast.
[0:44:34 – 0:44:37] Adam: Ten days ago, this was sent.
[0:44:37 – 0:44:37] Adam: From Drew.
[0:44:38 – 0:44:38] Adam: Thank you.
[0:44:38 – 0:44:39] Adam: Tumble Home?
[0:44:40 – 0:44:42] Adam: More like Stumble Home with all the free beers.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:43] Adam: Am I right?
[0:44:44 – 0:44:51] Adam: You two fit right in with our current presidential administration, providing entertainment and grifting the user base.
[0:44:52 – 0:45:16] Adam: wow yeah it’s a great podcast though one that draws in its listeners each week or every other week if one of you has a family obligation getting in the way of our fix friendships have been born out of this podcast i’m sure a few will be torn apart by the during the homies to trip in september hopefully none that are very important cue the laugh track please do we have a laugh track
[0:45:18 – 0:45:20] Erik: Trevor’s been working on that for seven years now.
[0:45:21 – 0:45:25] Erik: I’m sick of sending him the email to ask, where’s the laugh track?
[0:45:25 – 0:45:26] Erik: It hasn’t gotten it yet.
[0:45:26 – 0:45:28] Adam: He’s perfecting it.
[0:45:28 – 0:45:28] Adam: Yeah.
[0:45:29 – 0:45:35] Adam: From bobbies to squachos and orbs to wood gnomes, you guys have made us laugh along the way for longer than it seems.
[0:45:36 – 0:45:42] Adam: Adam is probably the most go-lucky guy I’ve ever heard with just a positive outlook on just about anything.
[0:45:43 – 0:45:47] Adam: All while looking like a younger ginger Marc Maron.
[0:45:48 – 0:45:49] Adam: Am I saying it right?
[0:45:49 – 0:45:50] Adam: Is it Marone?
[0:45:50 – 0:45:51] Adam: It’s Marc Maron, right?
[0:45:51 – 0:45:52] Adam: Yeah, come on.
[0:45:52 – 0:45:55] Adam: Somebody, I’ve heard that before, that I look like Marc Maron.
[0:45:55 – 0:45:55] Adam: Really?
[0:45:55 – 0:45:56] Adam: I think that’s a compliment, right?
[0:45:57 – 0:45:57] Adam: I think so.
[0:45:57 – 0:45:58] Adam: I wouldn’t be.
[0:45:58 – 0:45:59] Adam: It is impressive.
[0:46:00 – 0:46:01] Erik: Sorry.
[0:46:01 – 0:46:03] Adam: You made me laugh, sorry.
[0:46:03 – 0:46:05] Adam: I just spit all over Eric’s computer.
[0:46:05 – 0:46:08] Adam: Sweet, sweet compliments at this point.
[0:46:08 – 0:46:09] Adam: I’m going to take it.
[0:46:09 – 0:46:11] Adam: I mean, my mustache is looking good.
[0:46:12 – 0:46:24] Adam: Eric is always wanting the final straw to just pack up and leave the North Shore once and for all, finding a home on some desert mesa with weird dogs and the good riddance to people glimmer in his eye.
[0:46:25 – 0:46:25] Adam: All right.
[0:46:25 – 0:46:26] Adam: Yeah, sounds great.
[0:46:27 – 0:46:27] Adam: I’m there.
[0:46:28 – 0:46:34] Adam: Eric’s wang to Adam’s chung is what makes the podcast work so well.
[0:46:34 – 0:46:34] SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
[0:46:35 – 0:46:40] Adam: Friends that met over a love of the Boundary Waters or maybe just close proximity at an outfitter.
[0:46:40 – 0:46:43] Adam: 300 episodes is a hell of a thing.
[0:46:43 – 0:46:44] Adam: Congratulations.
[0:46:45 – 0:46:50] Adam: I really don’t know what the hell I’d write when I started thinking about how I’d roast you.
[0:46:50 – 0:46:55] Adam: I’m not leaving a voicemail of this because my voice sounds too weird to be recorded.
[0:46:56 – 0:46:57] Erik: That’s what everybody thinks until you record it.
[0:46:57 – 0:47:04] Adam: Yeah, everybody sounds like a scared dog in a tin can when they’re on a microphone, myself included.
[0:47:06 – 0:47:09] Adam: The key is just to speak slower than you think you should.
[0:47:09 – 0:47:14] Adam: Everybody needs to channel a little bit of Joe Pera when you’re on a microphone.
[0:47:15 – 0:47:16] Adam: That’s good advice.
[0:47:17 – 0:47:18] Adam: I struggle with that to this day.
[0:47:20 – 0:47:41] Adam: uh thanks for the information camaraderie laughs music terrible movies oh you recommended surviving crooked lake wow this is the surviving crooked lake person you sicko that’s maybe one of the most like memorable actually had worst movies we ever actually really liked it viewed on tcc yeah
[0:47:43 – 0:47:44] Adam: Well, thank you.
[0:47:44 – 0:47:46] Adam: That was a mild roast.
[0:47:46 – 0:47:51] Adam: Oh, we have a fun fact, and then this email is over.
[0:47:51 – 0:47:56] Adam: Fun fact, I debated just providing a recipe for a pot roast when I started this.
[0:47:56 – 0:47:58] Adam: I sincerely hope this was funnier.
[0:47:58 – 0:48:01] Adam: If not, fresh garlic and rosemary are key.
[0:48:02 – 0:48:02] Adam: Indeed.
[0:48:03 – 0:48:07] Adam: Thank you for the advice anyways on the pot roast.
[0:48:08 – 0:48:09] Adam: You can never have enough garlic.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:11] Adam: And it’s like with cookies.
[0:48:11 – 0:48:12] Adam: You can never have enough vanilla.
[0:48:12 – 0:48:12] Adam: Yeah.
[0:48:13 – 0:48:14] Adam: Whatever it says, triple it.
[0:48:15 – 0:48:17] Adam: Vanilla, garlic, chilies and adobo.
[0:48:18 – 0:48:18] Adam: That’s right.
[0:48:18 – 0:48:19] Erik: Always triple.
[0:48:19 – 0:48:21] Adam: Cheese, quadruple it.
[0:48:21 – 0:48:22] Erik: What are you going to do?
[0:48:22 – 0:48:25] Erik: Store that chilies and adobo can somewhere?
[0:48:25 – 0:48:28] Erik: Prepare to stain any plastic you put it in?
[0:48:28 – 0:48:31] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:48:31 – 0:48:32] Adam: It was a pretty good roast.
[0:48:32 – 0:48:33] Adam: I’ll take it.
[0:48:33 – 0:48:37] Adam: It wasn’t too mean, and I did appreciate the…
[0:48:37 – 0:48:38] Adam: They basically called me very handsome.
[0:48:38 – 0:48:40] Adam: Perfect level of roasting.
[0:48:40 – 0:48:41] Adam: Perfect.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:44] Adam: All right, that’s the end of that email.
[0:48:44 – 0:48:46] Adam: I don’t want to mess with your email too hard.
[0:48:46 – 0:48:48] Adam: I’m turning the computer back over to you.
[0:48:48 – 0:48:48] Adam: I’ll find another one.
[0:48:48 – 0:48:53] Adam: There was a response, but I don’t think it’s meant to be read on the show.
[0:48:54 – 0:48:55] Erik: That’s the real roast.
[0:48:55 – 0:48:56] Erik: That one was vicious.
[0:48:56 – 0:48:58] Erik: We’re not going to read that.
[0:48:59 – 0:49:01] Erik: We got Glovebox Warmies.
[0:49:01 – 0:49:03] Erik: That’s the title of this email coming in from Noah.
[0:49:03 – 0:49:04] Erik: Greetings.
[0:49:05 – 0:49:11] Erik: First of all, I would like to say thank you for all the time and energy you put into the amazing podcast.
[0:49:14 – 0:49:15] Erik: I will never not.
[0:49:15 – 0:49:16] Adam: This is from Glovebox Warmies?
[0:49:17 – 0:49:17] Erik: Yeah.
[0:49:17 – 0:49:19] Adam: I don’t know if we actually said it.
[0:49:19 – 0:49:21] Adam: These beers are from Glovebox Warmies?
[0:49:21 – 0:49:22] Adam: Oh, perfect.
[0:49:22 – 0:49:22] Adam: We did say it.
[0:49:22 – 0:49:23] Adam: It was on the note.
[0:49:23 – 0:49:25] Erik: Absolute perfection.
[0:49:29 – 0:49:31] Adam: Did I mess that up?
[0:49:31 – 0:49:32] Erik: No, I think that’s right.
[0:49:33 – 0:49:46] Erik: There’s never going to be a point in time when anybody ever compliments me on a thing about or thanking us for the time and energy that we put into this podcast.
[0:49:47 – 0:49:54] Adam: I think I tried to mention earlier that Eric is the producer of the show and that takes like way more time than the, I don’t know, way more time, but.
[0:49:54 – 0:50:19] Adam: it takes a lot of time it takes a little more time but like in addition to the recording time which we spend which is always a treat but i mean it’s still time you got to figure out to where you can meet up right and then eric’s still gonna find the time to like figure out how to do all the stuff with adobe or whatever’s going on on this laptop yeah i mean it’s a constant struggle with adobe trying to figure out the coolest new music to put on the end i mean
[0:50:20 – 0:50:24] Erik: My point, though, is anytime I see a comment like that, it’s great to hear.
[0:50:24 – 0:50:29] Erik: There’s no criticisms back.
[0:50:29 – 0:50:34] Erik: I obviously greatly appreciate it to hear things like that.
[0:50:37 – 0:50:38] Erik: But it’s…
[0:50:39 – 0:50:40] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:50:40 – 0:50:43] Erik: It’s like one of those things where I don’t even think about it in terms of time and energy.
[0:50:44 – 0:50:44] Erik: It’s just…
[0:50:45 – 0:50:46] Erik: It just comes so naturally now.
[0:50:47 – 0:50:47] Erik: That’s right.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:48] Erik: I just…
[0:50:49 – 0:50:50] Adam: I look forward to it.
[0:50:51 – 0:50:53] Adam: We have a shed we get to hang out in.
[0:50:53 – 0:50:55] Adam: Every time we get together.
[0:50:56 – 0:50:57] Adam: It’s all it is, really.
[0:50:57 – 0:50:58] Adam: Honestly…
[0:51:00 – 0:51:01] Adam: There were some moments.
[0:51:01 – 0:51:14] Adam: If more of these idiots in this country had a good friend to hang out with like this where they could have some time to let loose like this every week, this country would be a lot better off, honestly.
[0:51:14 – 0:51:18] Adam: Not everybody is so lucky to have a good friend like we have.
[0:51:18 – 0:51:26] Erik: Are you suggesting more people, more mid-30s to 40-year-old white men start podcasts?
[0:51:26 – 0:51:35] Adam: Yeah, and I think we’ve always said all along there should be more podcasts about the Boundary Waters or YouTube channels or whatever it is that people feel like is their outlet.
[0:51:36 – 0:51:42] Adam: Yeah, I just think more old guys need to get together and start a podcast.
[0:51:42 – 0:51:42] Adam: Sure, why not?
[0:51:43 – 0:51:44] Adam: Or write an album.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:48] Adam: Yeah, just make an album.
[0:51:48 – 0:51:51] Adam: Do a video series or something.
[0:51:51 – 0:51:52] Adam: Or whatever, paint together.
[0:51:53 – 0:51:56] Adam: Not enough people are doing like creative stuff, honestly.
[0:51:56 – 0:51:58] Adam: And I know like who’s got the time for it, right?
[0:51:59 – 0:52:00] Adam: You got to make the time for it.
[0:52:01 – 0:52:13] Adam: And I think that’s like most of the secret to the show is that we have just routinely most weeks, unless there’s something really important that we have to do, like made the time to get together and do the show.
[0:52:14 – 0:52:16] Adam: And that’s honestly like most of the sauce.
[0:52:16 – 0:52:17] Adam: It’s just regularity.
[0:52:17 – 0:52:21] Adam: Yeah, you’re simmering the sauce.
[0:52:22 – 0:52:25] Adam: You just got to make the time, and that’s the key to creativity.
[0:52:26 – 0:52:30] Adam: If anybody out there is listening at this point and is thinking about it, go ahead and do it.
[0:52:30 – 0:52:31] Adam: Start the show.
[0:52:32 – 0:52:32] Erik: Buy the paint.
[0:52:33 – 0:52:34] Erik: Yeah, come on.
[0:52:34 – 0:52:35] Erik: Start something.
[0:52:35 – 0:52:36] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:52:38 – 0:52:52] Adam: creating something as we said at the top like creating something is creating memories like it’s creating it’s so much more important than almost anything else you can do even if you only have a little bit of free time yeah and at the time it might seem like a lot of work
[0:52:54 – 0:52:56] Erik: It doesn’t to me anymore.
[0:52:56 – 0:52:57] Erik: Maybe it did off and on.
[0:52:57 – 0:52:59] Erik: Sometimes it did.
[0:52:59 – 0:53:02] Erik: Maybe there’s always weeks where you’re like, damn, I don’t know how we’re going to fit this in.
[0:53:02 – 0:53:05] Erik: Some of those weeks where we had to meet halfway between.
[0:53:05 – 0:53:05] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:05 – 0:53:06] Adam: Studio M shows.
[0:53:07 – 0:53:08] Erik: It’s just the Mazda shows.
[0:53:08 – 0:53:13] Erik: But like, it’s like anything, you know, at the time it sucks.
[0:53:14 – 0:53:17] Erik: Not sucks, but at the time, it’s not great.
[0:53:17 – 0:53:22] Erik: But then you look back on it however many years later, and I don’t know.
[0:53:23 – 0:53:40] Erik: Any hardship that I’ve experienced has always been looked back upon as something that’s worthwhile having been done and makes for a better thing to remember than just like,
[0:53:41 – 0:53:42] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:53:43 – 0:53:58] Erik: If you just sat comfortably by for 20, 30 years of your life and watched TV and made a little nice meal or whatever at the end of every day and didn’t do anything, how memorable would that be?
[0:53:59 – 0:54:01] Adam: It’s a different kind of wealth.
[0:54:01 – 0:54:06] Adam: Not everybody wants the wealth of going out and being uncomfortable and
[0:54:07 – 0:54:34] Adam: hacking around the bush but yeah i don’t know you know there’s all sorts of there’s all sorts of good ways to accumulate the wealth that isn’t money yeah but this is happens to be my favorite way to do it and that’s i think the common thread with the people that tune in to the show agreed uh i’ve been listening to the show for a little over nine months and it has become my go-to for just about any occasion aside from weddings
[0:54:35 – 0:54:37] Adam: You’re not allowed to play there legally.
[0:54:37 – 0:54:40] Adam: Apparently DJs don’t play podcasts.
[0:54:41 – 0:54:44] Adam: Our attorney will send you a letter if you play this podcast at your wedding.
[0:54:44 – 0:54:45] Adam: Copyrighted.
[0:54:46 – 0:54:46] Adam: Not for that.
[0:54:46 – 0:54:48] Adam: Just be like, that’s poor taste.
[0:54:48 – 0:54:49] Erik: People want to dance.
[0:54:49 – 0:54:52] Erik: I’ve been visiting the BWCA since I was a kid.
[0:54:53 – 0:54:57] Erik: We just recently acquired and started renovating a place on Road Lake.
[0:54:58 – 0:54:58] Erik: No way.
[0:55:00 – 0:55:01] Erik: Near the Ugly Baby.
[0:55:01 – 0:55:02] Erik: Not too far from Clearwater.
[0:55:03 – 0:55:03] Erik: Yeah.
[0:55:03 – 0:55:12] Erik: We spent many mornings eating half our weight in cardamom rolls at the loon’s nest to prepare for the many renovations needed.
[0:55:13 – 0:55:23] Erik: If you’re ever passing by and hear a distant sound of power tools or someone cussing at the sheet of drywall, feel free to stop in and swap out your glove box warmie for a cold one.
[0:55:24 – 0:55:25] Erik: We’ve got plenty.
[0:55:26 – 0:55:27] Erik: Are they including their address?
[0:55:28 – 0:55:29] Adam: Your new friend on Patreon.
[0:55:29 – 0:55:30] Adam: Thank you, Noah.
[0:55:30 – 0:55:31] Adam: All right, Noah.
[0:55:31 – 0:55:32] Adam: What’s your fire number?
[0:55:33 – 0:55:35] Adam: I will stop by next time I’m up there.
[0:55:37 – 0:55:38] Adam: You don’t need the fire number.
[0:55:38 – 0:55:40] Adam: I will just get out and listen for the power tools.
[0:55:40 – 0:55:41] Adam: Those are all the emails.
[0:55:42 – 0:55:42] Adam: That’s all of them.
[0:55:43 – 0:55:44] Adam: Thank you for the emails.
[0:55:45 – 0:55:48] Adam: That was very funny in episode two, and it was like…
[0:55:49 – 0:56:11] Adam: hit us up on facebook or the email and the email is the same back then as it is now when’s the last time you’ve been on the facebook page boy i don’t know every once in a while when i go on the sell and swap it tries to trick me into like logging into the tumble home facebook like you have notifications though people have liked your page and i’m like just shut up facebook i’m not clicking on that link
[0:56:12 – 0:56:30] Adam: and uh so i don’t know it’s been a long time since i’ve gotten on there so sorry to anybody who’s trying to reach us on facebook but um yeah we’re not checking that no more just send an email it still exists we always check the email eric does at least always he won’t give me the password that’s fine
[0:56:32 – 0:56:37] Adam: because I don’t understand how to set up email anyways, but it is still live.
[0:56:37 – 0:56:45] Adam: Honestly, that’s probably the most, the longest running aspect of the show other than the show itself is the email has always been there and always been the same.
[0:56:46 – 0:56:47] Adam: Yeah.
[0:56:47 – 0:56:48] Adam: So that’s it for the emails?
[0:56:49 – 0:56:50] Adam: That’s all the emails.
[0:56:50 – 0:56:51] Adam: We’re moving back on to Reddit.
[0:56:51 – 0:56:53] Adam: There’s no voicemails on there?
[0:56:53 – 0:56:54] Adam: I didn’t see any.
[0:56:54 – 0:56:54] Erik: No.
[0:56:54 – 0:57:00] Adam: I thought somebody was going to probably do a dirty rap at us or something.
[0:57:00 – 0:57:05] Adam: I think it’s just the epic song that’s going to end this episode.
[0:57:06 – 0:57:07] Adam: You told me there’s a song.
[0:57:07 – 0:57:08] Adam: Yeah, I’m excited.
[0:57:08 – 0:57:08] Erik: Can’t wait for that.
[0:57:11 – 0:57:14] Adam: You said it was going to move me to tears, and I said, wow.
[0:57:16 – 0:57:18] Adam: Either that or this tea will, probably.
[0:57:18 – 0:57:20] Adam: I feel like something is welling up in me.
[0:57:20 – 0:57:20] Adam: Wow.
[0:57:21 – 0:57:21] Adam: Wow.
[0:57:22 – 0:57:22] Adam: I can’t wait.
[0:57:23 – 0:57:27] Erik: Time to roast us, toast us, rank a rant, read an ad, fraudulent or honest.
[0:57:27 – 0:57:29] Erik: Either way, we would love to hear from you.
[0:57:29 – 0:57:33] Erik: Without your feedback, this episode won’t happen.
[0:57:35 – 0:58:02] Erik: if it fails you will only have yourselves to blame yeah i mean look at look in the mirror and that’s really what this show is about yeah it’s just we’re just holding a mirror up yeah we’re gonna just continue the craziest people that love to go in the wilderness that you know this planet has ever seen at least in the last 20 years there are a lot of words on the subreddit here i’ll read the first one and then uh
[0:58:04 – 0:58:04] Erik: We’ll go from there.
[0:58:05 – 0:58:05] Erik: We got one.
[0:58:06 – 0:58:06] Erik: Vinsky?
[0:58:07 – 0:58:07] Erik: One.
[0:58:08 – 0:58:08] Erik: The number.
[0:58:09 – 0:58:09] Erik: Vinsky.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:12] Erik: Like, uh, Vinsky.
[0:58:12 – 0:58:13] Erik: One.
[0:58:13 – 0:58:13] Erik: Like Vinsky.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:20] Erik: Listening to the early Tumble Home episodes gave me the confidence to go on my first Boundary Waters trip.
[0:58:21 – 0:58:24] Erik: The practical info about pa- uh, sorry.
[0:58:24 – 0:58:29] Erik: The practical info about permits, entry points, and lakes was super helpful.
[0:58:29 – 0:58:33] Erik: And your chill, fun, and friendly personalities are welcoming.
[0:58:35 – 0:58:41] Erik: As a woman going into the wilderness, I sometimes run into macho bobbies and rexes, which is off-putting.
[0:58:41 – 0:58:49] Erik: I’m super happy to have found this community of liberal, welcoming, and outdoorsy tumble homies.
[0:58:50 – 0:58:59] Erik: I would love a few back-to-basics episodes, specifically route planning, with ideas for good loops from different entry points.
[0:59:00 – 0:59:01] Erik: Thank you for doing what you do.
[0:59:02 – 0:59:03] Erik: Keep on being awesome.
[0:59:05 – 0:59:06] Erik: Uh, yeah.
[0:59:07 – 0:59:08] Erik: Thank you for the, thank you for the comment.
[0:59:09 – 0:59:14] Adam: I’m going to add those into the, I have a, I pulled up the note in my phone, uh, called future apps.
[0:59:15 – 0:59:16] Adam: Future apps.
[0:59:16 – 0:59:17] Adam: I’m adding that in there.
[0:59:18 – 0:59:19] Adam: Uh, route planning and loops.
[0:59:22 – 0:59:22] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:59:23 – 0:59:26] Erik: Are they, aren’t they all out there already?
[0:59:28 – 0:59:28] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:59:28 – 0:59:30] Adam: Wouldn’t hurt to go back over them.
[0:59:31 – 0:59:32] Adam: Honestly, I’m looking at this map.
[0:59:32 – 0:59:38] Adam: I got the markers out today, and there’s still a lot of stuff in here that we haven’t hit, to be honest.
[0:59:38 – 0:59:39] Erik: I’ve been to every lake in the Bajor.
[0:59:39 – 0:59:40] Adam: I know you have.
[0:59:40 – 0:59:45] Adam: Just like whatever that guy is that just cheers the beer with the owner of Gunflint or whatever.
[0:59:45 – 0:59:46] Adam: Other than Cummings.
[0:59:48 – 0:59:49] Erik: Never been to Cummings.
[0:59:50 – 0:59:52] Adam: Any lake that you can portage to, I’ve been to.
[0:59:52 – 0:59:53] Adam: That’s not our thing anymore.
[0:59:54 – 0:59:57] Adam: Obviously, there’s people who have hit every portage.
[1:00:00 – 1:00:02] Adam: They’ve seen them this way and that way.
[1:00:03 – 1:00:07] Adam: For a while, that was kind of… We’ve seen most of it.
[1:00:07 – 1:00:10] Adam: I think part of the nice part of it is you don’t want to hit everything.
[1:00:10 – 1:00:12] Adam: I got the general vibe.
[1:00:12 – 1:00:15] Adam: I’m saving a few Cormac McCarthy’s for later in life.
[1:00:15 – 1:00:16] Adam: I don’t want to read them all right now.
[1:00:17 – 1:00:26] Erik: Yeah, what’s your, I mean, the Boundary Waters I don’t think necessarily holds a Grapes of Wrath for me because that is my last Steinbeck.
[1:00:26 – 1:00:27] Erik: I still haven’t been to Koishui.
[1:00:30 – 1:00:30] Adam: Koishui Lake?
[1:00:32 – 1:00:33] Adam: No, the whole river.
[1:00:33 – 1:00:33] Adam: Oh.
[1:00:34 – 1:00:37] Adam: I also haven’t been to Konipi, which is crazy.
[1:00:38 – 1:00:39] Erik: That is kind of crazy.
[1:00:39 – 1:00:41] Erik: That’s the best equivalent.
[1:00:41 – 1:00:46] Adam: That’s my Grapes of Wrath is my Conipi, which we will get to at the end of the Cache River.
[1:00:47 – 1:00:47] Adam: Right.
[1:00:48 – 1:00:48] Erik: It ends.
[1:00:48 – 1:00:53] Erik: Go down there and see your sweet, sweet hops and what other…
[1:00:53 – 1:01:21] Adam: sweet succulent my ferns ferns that are growing down in my uh my quetico grapes quetico grapes yeah i want my quetico grape vines just bring back enough to make one sweet bottle of wine to enjoy on your deathbed yeah then i’ll i’ll uh you know i’ll save a baby at the end what you’re spoiling the end of grapes of wrath you’re spoiling the end of your life ridiculous
[1:01:24 – 1:01:26] Erik: We got Bird Doggin’ It.
[1:01:27 – 1:01:28] Erik: Bird Doggin’ It.
[1:01:28 – 1:01:30] Erik: I don’t think we’ve heard from Bird Doggin’ It in a while.
[1:01:30 – 1:01:31] Erik: Bird Doggin’ It’s to listen.
[1:01:32 – 1:01:35] Erik: I swear to God, if Rojo Ryder comes in.
[1:01:35 – 1:01:38] Adam: Yeah, we’re both going to start crying, honestly, probably.
[1:01:40 – 1:01:44] Adam: Next up on the show, dear friend of the show, Bird Doggin’ It, 17 days ago.
[1:01:46 – 1:01:46] Adam: Wow.
[1:01:46 – 1:01:46] Adam: Yeah.
[1:01:46 – 1:01:46] Adam: Truth.
[1:01:46 – 1:01:46] Adam: Truth.
[1:02:13 – 1:02:18] Adam: In all seriousness, this has been my favorite podcast since the beginning of podcasts.
[1:02:18 – 1:02:19] Adam: Thank you for all you do.
[1:02:19 – 1:02:27] Adam: If anything else, if anything really deserves to be roasted, it’s that damn Discord channel that completely zapped the fun energy out of the subreddit.
[1:02:28 – 1:02:30] Adam: And yes, I tried to migrate over.
[1:02:30 – 1:02:30] Adam: Really, I did.
[1:02:31 – 1:02:36] Adam: I just couldn’t handle the longest run on conversations in the history of the internet.
[1:02:36 – 1:02:37] Erik: Sounds like it.
[1:02:37 – 1:02:41] Erik: Bird dogging it is a… Is this you?
[1:02:41 – 1:02:42] Erik: Yeah, this is actually me.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:44] Erik: It’s bird dogging it with two Ts.
[1:02:44 – 1:02:45] Adam: This is actually me.
[1:02:46 – 1:02:50] Adam: Keep the round side down and continue to enjoy paddling.
[1:02:50 – 1:02:51] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:52 – 1:02:53] Adam: The round side is the tumble home.
[1:02:53 – 1:02:54] Adam: I actually had somebody…
[1:02:54 – 1:02:58] Adam: I was at a wedding last week and somebody at the wedding asked me, what is the tumble home?
[1:02:59 – 1:03:02] Adam: And I’m not talking about your podcast, like the actual part of the canoe.
[1:03:02 – 1:03:04] Adam: And I said, it’s the curve this way.
[1:03:04 – 1:03:05] Adam: I was going to say.
[1:03:06 – 1:03:07] Adam: I did the hand motion.
[1:03:08 – 1:03:11] Erik: It’s like Neo asking Morpheus, what is the Matrix?
[1:03:12 – 1:03:13] Erik: What is the tumble home?
[1:03:14 – 1:03:16] Erik: You just have to see it to believe it.
[1:03:16 – 1:03:17] Erik: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[1:03:17 – 1:03:18] Erik: Yeah.
[1:03:18 – 1:03:20] Erik: I literally watched the Matrix last night.
[1:03:21 – 1:03:21] Erik: Nice.
[1:03:22 – 1:03:24] Erik: And it’s as good as it’s ever been.
[1:03:26 – 1:03:26] Adam: My God.
[1:03:26 – 1:03:28] Adam: I should put it back on the list.
[1:03:28 – 1:03:29] Adam: Is there any canoes in that?
[1:03:30 – 1:03:31] Erik: No, there’s no canoes.
[1:03:31 – 1:03:32] Erik: Unfortunately, there’s not.
[1:03:32 – 1:03:34] Erik: There’s not really any nature in that movie.
[1:03:36 – 1:03:38] Adam: All right.
[1:03:38 – 1:03:42] Adam: I’m not going to read the… We don’t need to read that.
[1:03:42 – 1:03:44] Erik: Wow, we don’t need to read that.
[1:03:44 – 1:03:46] SPEAKER_02: Well, it’s not a part of the roast.
[1:03:46 – 1:03:47] Adam: It’s not a part of the roast.
[1:03:47 – 1:03:51] Adam: It’s just like talking about the Discord versus the subreddit.
[1:03:51 – 1:03:52] Adam: Hopalicious.
[1:03:52 – 1:03:53] Adam: Hopalash.
[1:03:53 – 1:03:54] Erik: Hopalash.
[1:03:54 – 1:03:54] Erik: Hopalash.
[1:03:57 – 1:04:00] Adam: Hopalicious started the Discord, and he does take fault.
[1:04:00 – 1:04:01] Adam: I’m sure.
[1:04:01 – 1:04:03] Adam: I don’t think it killed the subreddit, honestly.
[1:04:03 – 1:04:04] Adam: They’re different things.
[1:04:05 – 1:04:09] Adam: Discord’s so easy, and like I said, I feel it is more trustworthy.
[1:04:09 – 1:04:12] Adam: I feel more at ease as myself on Discord.
[1:04:13 – 1:04:13] Adam: Because I…
[1:04:15 – 1:04:19] Adam: You know, I don’t know if this is, it’s probably not the case, but I don’t know.
[1:04:19 – 1:04:28] Adam: I feel like people on discord are like for sure real tumble homies, but there’s no good reason to believe that if there’s bots out there, there’s probably our bots on the discord.
[1:04:28 – 1:04:29] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:04:29 – 1:04:31] Erik: No, no, I get what you’re saying, and I appreciate that.
[1:04:31 – 1:04:35] Erik: Whenever I go on there, I can definitely tell that it’s all real people.
[1:04:36 – 1:04:38] Erik: It feels more genuine and private.
[1:04:38 – 1:04:41] Erik: It’s not the authenticity that I’m questioning.
[1:04:42 – 1:04:50] Erik: It’s just the frequency and ticker, like the Chiron aspect of how fast things move on there.
[1:04:50 – 1:04:56] Adam: You’ve got to be willing to just skim it sometimes to catch back up, and that’s unfortunate, but, you know.
[1:04:57 – 1:04:58] Erik: No, and that’s fine.
[1:04:58 – 1:05:02] Erik: It’s the short form and the subreddits more of the long form.
[1:05:02 – 1:05:04] Adam: This is where we’re at tonight.
[1:05:04 – 1:05:12] Erik: I would never want to sit here and dissuade people from being involved in the Discord at all.
[1:05:12 – 1:05:12] Erik: No, that’s all.
[1:05:12 – 1:05:16] Erik: It’s just not necessarily where I want to find myself.
[1:05:17 – 1:05:43] Erik: um commenting very often but i do appreciate getting on there and just kind of like reading and seeing like very funny things that get posted and being like that’s good uh i do like the access that some of the people that are on there have to wild like gifts of things that i never thought was even like yeah how is that even a gift like what where did you find that yeah you can find any gift you want these days make your own
[1:05:44 – 1:05:45] Adam: You could also do that, yeah.
[1:05:45 – 1:05:52] Adam: I’m laughing over here while I have to read the next comment here on the post.
[1:05:52 – 1:05:53] Adam: Do it.
[1:05:53 – 1:05:55] Adam: It’s from user ChimpBiscuitTruth.
[1:05:56 – 1:05:56] Erik: Oh, no.
[1:05:56 – 1:05:57] Adam: That’s the name of the user?
[1:05:58 – 1:06:06] Adam: 12 days ago, Eric and Adam are holding back part two of the ChimpBiscuit story, all caps, RELEASE THE CHIMPBISCUIT FILES.
[1:06:06 – 1:06:07] Adam: Wow.
[1:06:07 – 1:06:08] Adam: That got 12 upvotes.
[1:06:09 – 1:06:09] Adam: We’ll release it.
[1:06:09 – 1:06:11] Adam: And then a hot bullshit just runs.
[1:06:13 – 1:06:15] Adam: The chimp didn’t kill himself.
[1:06:16 – 1:06:17] Erik: Oh, man.
[1:06:17 – 1:06:18] Erik: There’s one minute missing.
[1:06:18 – 1:06:21] Adam: I’m shocked that there’s no Harambe quotes in here.
[1:06:23 – 1:06:25] Adam: I really do think that.
[1:06:25 – 1:06:26] Adam: That’s when the whole timeline split.
[1:06:27 – 1:06:34] Erik: If we ever do get a full explanation as to how the Chimp Biscuit story ends, that will be the end of the show.
[1:06:35 – 1:06:36] Erik: But we haven’t received it yet.
[1:06:36 – 1:06:38] Erik: I don’t even know where it came from.
[1:06:38 – 1:06:46] Adam: Trevor said he had it, and then he said the file got deleted, or he was having issues with his files, he said.
[1:06:46 – 1:06:48] Erik: Issues with the files.
[1:06:48 – 1:06:50] Adam: All right, Trevor, get your story straight.
[1:06:50 – 1:06:51] Adam: Trevor’s laptop.
[1:06:51 – 1:06:52] Adam: Yeah.
[1:06:55 – 1:07:19] Adam: holy moly hot dog i am going into um oh my god this is a whopper you’re reading the biggin yeah i’m gonna take the big and i got a big beer here yeah from some nerve brewing and i’m feeling pretty good right now regal me this is from uh dear friend of the show admiral geary okay uh yeah it was edited it was open but it was submitted 18 hours ago 18 hours ago
[1:07:20 – 1:07:21] Adam: Let’s be honest.
[1:07:22 – 1:07:28] Adam: Trevor has never been seen, never spoken directly, and never confirmed by any reliable source.
[1:07:29 – 1:07:31] Adam: That’s because Trevor isn’t a person.
[1:07:31 – 1:07:40] Adam: He’s a sentient incorporeal orb of red light, a glowing consciousness that once lay dormant beneath a collapsed fire grate near Alice Lake.
[1:07:40 – 1:07:41] SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
[1:07:41 – 1:07:54] Adam: Bobby and Rex accidentally freed Trevor from his collapsed fire grate home while jamming a Bobby log into the grate while a JBL speaker played Leonard Skinner Freebird at full volume at 11 p.m.
[1:07:55 – 1:07:57] Erik: I should listen to some Leonard Skinner tonight, maybe.
[1:07:58 – 1:08:06] Adam: Eric and Adam attempted to contain Trevor in July of 2021 by performing a cultic baptism orb containment ritual together.
[1:08:06 – 1:08:07] Adam: There’s a link here.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:09] Adam: We should probably click on that.
[1:08:09 – 1:08:09] Adam: No, not yet.
[1:08:10 – 1:08:13] Adam: While singing something like shoe body bop.
[1:08:14 – 1:08:14] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:08:15 – 1:08:16] Adam: The shoe body bop?
[1:08:16 – 1:08:27] Adam: But given Trevon’s incorporeal nature, the ritual failed, and the collapsed smith foundry grate from whence Trevon came had made his spirit as strong as iron.
[1:08:28 – 1:08:35] Adam: Trevern was first unleashed when the EVP monitor was activated at Clearwater Lodge during the early episodes of the podcast.
[1:08:35 – 1:08:40] Adam: Eric and Adam claimed it was for ghost detection, but longtime listeners know better.
[1:08:40 – 1:08:47] Adam: That EVP monitor was actually a red orb receiver, and it’s still in this shed.
[1:08:49 – 1:08:50] Adam: Looking around even.
[1:08:51 – 1:08:56] Adam: Trevor can be heard in the episodes where the microphone ghosts show up on the episode.
[1:08:57 – 1:08:59] Adam: Well, actually, that’s a really interesting theory.
[1:08:59 – 1:09:01] Adam: I hadn’t considered, Eric.
[1:09:01 – 1:09:01] Adam: Theory?
[1:09:02 – 1:09:03] Adam: The microphone ghosts.
[1:09:03 – 1:09:05] Adam: At one point, the orb possessed Gordy.
[1:09:06 – 1:09:09] Adam: This explains how Trevor learned the location of the shed in the first place.
[1:09:12 – 1:09:20] Adam: Cheap Dancer is the inner tumble circle with Eric Adam and Hopalicious as the Laser Gordy bootleg merch sticker from Fall 2024 commemorates nothing less than Gordy’s possession by the Orb.
[1:09:33 – 1:09:40] Adam: The possessed Gordy made it back to the shed, allowing Trevern to wreak havoc on the lands outside of the BWCA.
[1:09:41 – 1:09:43] Adam: Trevern is everywhere and nowhere.
[1:09:43 – 1:09:45] Adam: He’s in the shed.
[1:09:45 – 1:09:47] Adam: He’s in the EVP monitor.
[1:09:47 – 1:09:48] Adam: He’s in the laptop.
[1:09:48 – 1:09:51] Adam: That’s why you can’t update Adobe.
[1:09:53 – 1:09:57] Adam: He’s possibly in your barrel disguised as a biter.
[1:09:58 – 1:10:00] Adam: The podcast is no longer about the Boundary Waters.
[1:10:02 – 1:10:08] Adam: It’s a containment protocol, a weekly ritual to keep Trevern from expanding into Quetico.
[1:10:09 – 1:10:10] Adam: No.
[1:10:10 – 1:10:17] Adam: The 2025 Cache River trip with Gordy was a covert mission to confirm that Trevor has not expanded into Quetico.
[1:10:17 – 1:10:26] Adam: Off microphone, Adam and Eric were able to confirm that containment was holding and Trevor was not in Quetico.
[1:10:29 – 1:10:36] Adam: It is rumored that one Tomahomey will be grilled on a fire grate during the 2025 Tomahome trip.
[1:10:37 – 1:10:46] Adam: This will hopefully appease Trevor for some time before additional containment protocols can be deployed into the BWCA region.
[1:10:47 – 1:10:56] Adam: The Tomahomey Live 2026 trip is occurring on Cache River in Quetico to confirm that containment is holding.
[1:10:56 – 1:11:06] Adam: I believe that Eric and Adam both think that containment will not hold, and this is why the stick and bindle trip is planned to Wama Kimi in 2028.
[1:11:07 – 1:11:09] Adam: Tumble Home Live, off the rails.
[1:11:10 – 1:11:12] Adam: Humanity’s last hope.
[1:11:12 – 1:11:12] Adam: Yeah.
[1:11:13 – 1:11:36] Adam: wow and this is great apparently they have uh confirmed this theory with other friends of the show and uh hopalicious claims that this sounds like the premise for the season the next season of stranger things it sort of does honestly and um also something about that whole message makes me feel uh
[1:11:38 – 1:11:43] Erik: Something about the fact that I watched The Matrix last night resonates a lot more with me now.
[1:11:44 – 1:11:47] Adam: I feel like I should have done a better, like, Kether Sutherland voice.
[1:11:47 – 1:11:52] Adam: Like, I’m Mr. X in JFK.
[1:11:52 – 1:11:54] Adam: By the middle of that, I was trying to channel.
[1:11:55 – 1:11:59] Adam: I am not capable of channeling Mr. X from JFK.
[1:12:00 – 1:12:05] Adam: The newspapers claimed that he had been shot, but it was the day before it even happened.
[1:12:06 – 1:12:07] Erik: We’re going to winnow.
[1:12:07 – 1:12:10] Adam: This goes much deeper than you think, prosecutor.
[1:12:11 – 1:12:11] Erik: Wow.
[1:12:12 – 1:12:14] Erik: September is for winnowing, and we are going to winnow.
[1:12:15 – 1:12:16] Erik: They’re on to us.
[1:12:16 – 1:12:26] Erik: Down to the Cache River run based on… And that’s why he really wants to go to Conippy.
[1:12:27 – 1:12:27] Adam: Yeah.
[1:12:28 – 1:12:31] Adam: Well, are we looking for Trevor?
[1:12:31 – 1:12:33] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:12:34 – 1:12:40] Adam: Trevor’s kind of like the Bob in Twin Peaks at this point.
[1:12:41 – 1:12:42] Adam: Who knows?
[1:12:43 – 1:12:45] Adam: I mean, honestly, where did he go anyways?
[1:12:45 – 1:12:48] Adam: He was typing on that typewriter before, and he’s not even in here anymore.
[1:12:48 – 1:12:49] Adam: He’s gone.
[1:12:50 – 1:12:51] Adam: Oh, Trevor.
[1:12:51 – 1:12:52] Adam: Oh, Trevor.
[1:12:53 – 1:12:54] Adam: Can we click on the link?
[1:12:55 – 1:12:56] Adam: No, we’re not going to click on that link.
[1:12:57 – 1:12:58] Erik: Well, maybe off mic.
[1:12:58 – 1:12:59] Adam: Maybe after the show.
[1:13:00 – 1:13:01] Adam: Oh, my God.
[1:13:01 – 1:13:01] Adam: Stop it.
[1:13:04 – 1:13:07] Adam: Uh, we’re not gonna, we don’t need to read those.
[1:13:07 – 1:13:08] Adam: I don’t think, huh?
[1:13:08 – 1:13:14] Adam: This is just talking about the, uh, they’re trying to like deal bungee dealie Bob’s here in the comments.
[1:13:16 – 1:13:16] Adam: All right.
[1:13:16 – 1:13:17] Adam: Where’s the scroller going?
[1:13:18 – 1:13:18] Adam: Holy moly.
[1:13:18 – 1:13:19] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:13:19 – 1:13:20] Adam: You got me scrolled.
[1:13:20 – 1:13:20] Adam: Are we scrolling?
[1:13:20 – 1:13:21] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:13:21 – 1:13:24] Adam: I’m feeling, I’m feeling my voice is feeling pretty good.
[1:13:24 – 1:13:25] Adam: Can I get one more?
[1:13:25 – 1:13:25] Adam: Yeah.
[1:13:25 – 1:13:26] Adam: No, absolutely.
[1:13:26 – 1:13:31] Adam: I’m going to keep going one more and then I will, um, I will turn the screen back over.
[1:13:32 – 1:13:36] Adam: Next up on the show, dear friend of the show, Ghost of Ed Abbey.
[1:13:37 – 1:13:39] Adam: You’ve been with us a long time, Ghost of Ed Abbey.
[1:13:40 – 1:13:41] Adam: God bless you.
[1:13:42 – 1:13:50] Adam: I’ll definitely toast the two of you primarily for deciding to live in such a wonderful place for as long as you have and then to turn around and share it with us.
[1:13:51 – 1:13:53] Adam: Residing in Cook County, Minnesota.
[1:13:53 – 1:14:19] Adam: is not for the weak you’ve also educated so many sharing the ethos of the bwca is so important and finally i recall an early episode talking about a group of people that vaguely sounded like the north shore’s version of the merry pranksters although maybe not as refined as ken casey’s band of misfits can you please elaborate on this mystery that i haven’t found in the old episodes
[1:14:22 – 1:14:24] Adam: That’s got eight boxes of wine.
[1:14:24 – 1:14:25] Adam: Is that the end of the comment?
[1:14:25 – 1:14:26] Adam: That’s the end of the comment.
[1:14:26 – 1:14:29] Adam: What are they talking about?
[1:14:29 – 1:14:30] Adam: Like the rainbow people?
[1:14:30 – 1:14:31] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:14:31 – 1:14:33] Erik: I might need more information.
[1:14:33 – 1:14:34] Erik: I’ll reread.
[1:14:36 – 1:14:44] Adam: I recall an early episode talking about a group of people that vaguely sounded like the North Shore version of the Merry Pranksters.
[1:14:44 – 1:14:50] Erik: The only thing that comes to mind is that one instance where the rainbow people were like a finger got bit off.
[1:14:51 – 1:14:52] Adam: In the woods?
[1:14:53 – 1:14:55] Adam: They were painting everything with Dayglo paint.
[1:14:55 – 1:14:56] Adam: Yeah.
[1:14:57 – 1:14:58] Erik: Unless it’s something else that I don’t remember.
[1:14:58 – 1:14:59] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:14:59 – 1:15:04] Adam: That’s the only thing I could think of that immediately came to mind was like, what about those rainbow people?
[1:15:04 – 1:15:08] Adam: We definitely talked about it at some point in the early episodes, so that checks.
[1:15:08 – 1:15:09] Adam: I’ve heard of it.
[1:15:09 – 1:15:10] Adam: You’ve heard of it.
[1:15:12 – 1:15:13] Adam: I don’t think they’re around anymore.
[1:15:13 – 1:15:14] Adam: Also…
[1:15:15 – 1:15:25] Adam: As a side tangent, I have found an old van in the woods that was filled with bad poetry, which we may or may not have talked about previously on the show.
[1:15:25 – 1:15:26] Adam: I think so.
[1:15:26 – 1:15:44] Adam: Which I feel like does fit the description of this kind of North Shore adventurer, somebody who’s going to stick around for a while and write poetry, but then ultimately goes to Mount Shasta instead, or just in general heads west.
[1:15:44 – 1:15:44] Adam: Yeah.
[1:15:45 – 1:15:47] Erik: Yeah, no, I don’t know.
[1:15:47 – 1:15:48] Erik: I have no idea.
[1:15:48 – 1:15:49] Erik: Merry Pranksters?
[1:15:51 – 1:15:53] Adam: I don’t think anybody on Ken Casey’s level is up here.
[1:15:54 – 1:15:55] Adam: Not anymore.
[1:15:55 – 1:15:56] Adam: Not anymore.
[1:15:56 – 1:15:57] Adam: Not right now, but I mean, who knows?
[1:15:59 – 1:16:01] Adam: The next Ken Casey could still be out there.
[1:16:03 – 1:16:04] Adam: Coming up Highway 61 right now.
[1:16:04 – 1:16:05] Erik: Yep.
[1:16:05 – 1:16:07] Erik: Wow, we still got some words here.
[1:16:07 – 1:16:09] Erik: Not a ton, but we got some words.
[1:16:13 – 1:16:15] Erik: We got acid diarrhea.
[1:16:16 – 1:16:20] Erik: Whether it’s the original or not, I still am incredulous as to whether or not.
[1:16:20 – 1:16:22] Erik: How many acid diarrheas are out there?
[1:16:22 – 1:16:27] Erik: This original acid diarrhea came with a 612, but this one does.
[1:16:29 – 1:16:32] Erik: Eric’s mama’s teeth are so yellow she spits Northwood’s ghee.
[1:16:35 – 1:16:35] Erik: Oh, that’s right.
[1:16:35 – 1:16:36] Erik: Northwood’s Gee.
[1:16:38 – 1:16:39] Erik: That’s a deep cut.
[1:16:39 – 1:16:40] Erik: That’s a good one.
[1:16:40 – 1:16:44] Erik: Adam’s mama is so hairy, Bigfoot takes pictures of her.
[1:16:47 – 1:16:48] Erik: This is my kind of roasting.
[1:16:48 – 1:16:50] Erik: It’s about to get dark, isn’t it, Eric?
[1:16:50 – 1:16:51] Erik: Yep.
[1:16:52 – 1:16:58] Erik: Eric’s elite taste in music is like a red orb, just a construct of Adam’s mind.
[1:16:59 – 1:17:00] Erik: No, that’s a thinker.
[1:17:01 – 1:17:02] Erik: Adam likes his women.
[1:17:03 – 1:17:04] Erik: Here we go.
[1:17:04 – 1:17:11] Erik: Adam likes his women like his coffee, cheap and readily available at Trail Center.
[1:17:11 – 1:17:12] Erik: Oh, my God.
[1:17:12 – 1:17:13] Erik: Boom.
[1:17:13 – 1:17:13] Erik: Roasted.
[1:17:15 – 1:17:17] Erik: We got Betty’s Pies.
[1:17:17 – 1:17:21] Erik: Betty’s underscore pies with a Z. Roast.
[1:17:22 – 1:17:25] Erik: These two bozos are pushing biters for big pizza.
[1:17:25 – 1:17:27] Erik: Can’t trust a word they say.
[1:17:27 – 1:17:28] Adam: That’s true.
[1:17:28 – 1:17:29] Adam: Yeah.
[1:17:29 – 1:17:32] Adam: You don’t even have access to our stock portfolios either.
[1:17:32 – 1:17:34] Erik: No, and you never will.
[1:17:34 – 1:17:34] Erik: Toast!
[1:17:35 – 1:17:38] Erik: I have nothing but love for Eric with a K and Adam.
[1:17:38 – 1:17:48] Erik: It’s not uncommon for my wife and I to be doing our own things around the house or outside with an episode on in the background, blaring from our phones.
[1:17:49 – 1:17:52] Erik: Not to sound obsessive, but it’s a daily part of our lives.
[1:17:53 – 1:18:02] Erik: It keeps us connected to the Bajau waters, even if tangentially, when the episodes focus on red orbs or partaking too much in the dragon’s milk.
[1:18:03 – 1:18:06] Erik: Because of the podcast, dot, dot, dot.
[1:18:07 – 1:18:10] Erik: I sky sleep and I don’t care who knows it.
[1:18:10 – 1:18:11] Erik: Dot, dot, dot.
[1:18:12 – 1:18:17] Erik: I met a new camping and fly fishing friend on the podcast’s Discord.
[1:18:17 – 1:18:18] Erik: Hi, John.
[1:18:18 – 1:18:19] Erik: All right.
[1:18:20 – 1:18:24] Erik: And I’ve explored way more of the Bungie Waters than I ever thought I would.
[1:18:24 – 1:18:29] Erik: If episode 300 is the last, I have nothing but appreciation for both you and the community.
[1:18:38 – 1:18:39] Adam: I don’t think it’s the last.
[1:18:39 – 1:18:41] Adam: It’s the last of the first 300.
[1:18:41 – 1:18:43] Erik: It’s the last of… Yeah, it’s the last of…
[1:18:43 – 1:18:45] Adam: It’s really just the end of the first act.
[1:18:46 – 1:18:47] Adam: Let’s put it that way.
[1:18:47 – 1:18:48] Adam: We still have a lot.
[1:18:48 – 1:18:49] Adam: The first act?
[1:18:50 – 1:18:51] Adam: We have a long way to go to 999.
[1:18:51 – 1:18:51] Adam: Okay.
[1:18:51 – 1:18:54] Adam: Isle of Pine, nine days ago.
[1:18:57 – 1:18:58] Erik: A toast.
[1:18:58 – 1:18:59] Erik: We’re getting toasted.
[1:18:59 – 1:19:00] Erik: Are you ready?
[1:19:00 – 1:19:01] Erik: Yeah, I’m ready.
[1:19:01 – 1:19:02] Erik: Congrats on 300.
[1:19:02 – 1:19:12] Erik: I still remember coming back from my first BWCA trip years ago and trying to find a podcast to continue my obsession back in the Twin Cities.
[1:19:13 – 1:19:20] Erik: After listening to a few different related podcasts, I put on 001 Pantry Waters Basics.
[1:19:21 – 1:19:25] Erik: It was basically what I was looking for slash hoping for.
[1:19:25 – 1:19:30] Adam: I’m glad that that’s the episode that’s hooking people and they’ve stuck around somehow through all this nonsense.
[1:19:30 – 1:19:31] Erik: Yeah, yeah.
[1:19:31 – 1:19:36] Erik: I’ve been hooked and listened to every episode since, sometimes more than once.
[1:19:37 – 1:19:45] Erik: Listening not only feels like hearing some old friends talk about something I love, but it also feels like a mini trip up north.
[1:19:46 – 1:19:49] Erik: You two have created a real community of rascals.
[1:19:49 – 1:19:50] Erik: Rascals.
[1:19:50 – 1:19:50] Erik: Yes.
[1:19:51 – 1:19:51] Erik: Yes.
[1:19:51 – 1:19:53] Erik: Not a word we toss around very often.
[1:19:53 – 1:19:54] Adam: Rascals needs to be used more.
[1:19:54 – 1:19:55] Adam: Yeah, I do like it.
[1:19:56 – 1:20:10] Erik: Not every time I use the latrine now, every time I use the latrine in the BWCA, I’m either thinking about the never peek alone bumper sticker or expecting to see Dick Cheney’s face.
[1:20:11 – 1:20:13] Erik: That is some Ken Casey shit right there.
[1:20:13 – 1:20:14] Adam: Yeah.
[1:20:15 – 1:20:15] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:20:15 – 1:20:17] Adam: That’s presumptuous, but it’s true.
[1:20:18 – 1:20:18] Adam: Yeah.
[1:20:18 – 1:20:23] Erik: I’ve discovered quite a few favorite new artists through you guys as well.
[1:20:23 – 1:20:23] Erik: There we go.
[1:20:23 – 1:20:26] Erik: Special shout out to Being Dead’s Eels.
[1:20:26 – 1:20:27] Erik: Thanks, Eric.
[1:20:28 – 1:20:28] Erik: Thank you, Eric.
[1:20:29 – 1:20:30] Erik: It’s my favorite album.
[1:20:30 – 1:20:32] Erik: One of my favorite albums from last year.
[1:20:33 – 1:20:37] Erik: You’ve both made something truly special, and I cannot thank you enough for it.
[1:20:37 – 1:20:38] Erik: Enjoy paddling.
[1:20:38 – 1:20:40] Erik: Thank you, Isles.
[1:20:41 – 1:20:42] Erik: Isle of Pine.
[1:20:44 – 1:20:54] Adam: Another thing from 002 is it did end with, like, a bunch of, like, paddling and, like, bird noises, which was great, and, like, a weird little song, and then… Yeah.
[1:20:55 – 1:20:55] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[1:20:55 – 1:20:56] Erik: There was always…
[1:20:56 – 1:20:58] Adam: I was like, wow, this was right in the beginning, too.
[1:20:58 – 1:21:03] Adam: Like, the emphasis on having the nature noises in the show.
[1:21:04 – 1:21:12] Adam: Even the ones that are in the shed, like, you can definitely hear, like, dogs barking and other, like, nature noises in the background, even out here in the shed, so…
[1:21:13 – 1:21:16] Adam: I always like that if I’m listening to the show on headphones.
[1:21:16 – 1:21:23] Adam: And I’ve heard this from other people, too, that they appreciate that it sounds like they’re just up north, which is true.
[1:21:23 – 1:21:23] Adam: They are.
[1:21:28 – 1:21:29] Adam: Do you want to do one?
[1:21:29 – 1:21:31] Adam: Yeah, I’m primed up, baby.
[1:21:31 – 1:21:32] Adam: You’re primed?
[1:21:32 – 1:21:33] Adam: I’m primed up.
[1:21:33 – 1:21:36] Adam: I’m like, how’s your progress on this massive beer going?
[1:21:36 – 1:21:37] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:21:37 – 1:21:39] Erik: Every time I lift it up, it feels like I just started it.
[1:21:39 – 1:21:40] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:21:40 – 1:21:44] Erik: You seem like you might be getting close to finishing it, which is crazy.
[1:21:44 – 1:21:45] Adam: I’m very thirsty.
[1:21:46 – 1:21:47] Adam: Man, it’s been a week.
[1:21:49 – 1:21:54] Adam: You know, August is one of my favorite months, and it’s also one of the worst possible months.
[1:21:55 – 1:21:55] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[1:21:56 – 1:21:57] Adam: If that makes sense.
[1:21:58 – 1:21:59] Adam: You know what, though?
[1:21:59 – 1:22:00] Adam: And we talked about this also.
[1:22:00 – 1:22:02] Adam: September is one of the best months.
[1:22:03 – 1:22:04] SPEAKER_02: Right around the corner.
[1:22:04 – 1:22:05] SPEAKER_02: We’re almost there.
[1:22:05 – 1:22:06] Adam: Just a couple days away.
[1:22:06 – 1:22:06] Adam: I know.
[1:22:06 – 1:22:07] Adam: I just keep telling myself, man.
[1:22:07 – 1:22:10] Erik: It’s going to be my freest month in a long time.
[1:22:10 – 1:22:11] Adam: It’s August, you know?
[1:22:12 – 1:22:13] Adam: Just take a deep breath.
[1:22:13 – 1:22:14] Adam: It’s just August.
[1:22:14 – 1:22:15] Adam: We’re going to make it.
[1:22:21 – 1:22:22] Adam: Everybody, don’t worry.
[1:22:22 – 1:22:23] Adam: We’re going to make it.
[1:22:23 – 1:22:24] Adam: Hang on.
[1:22:24 – 1:22:26] Adam: Grab the old shit handle.
[1:22:27 – 1:22:28] Adam: Next up on the show.
[1:22:28 – 1:22:29] Adam: Take it easy.
[1:22:29 – 1:22:32] Adam: Next up on the show, Happy Rock 616 in the house.
[1:22:35 – 1:22:55] Adam: Tumble Home, a podcast that occasionally discusses important global topics like chimp biscuits, key guest interviews such as paddling experts Pocahontas, and top-notch crowdsourced science like The Learnament with guidance and research methods is scientifically driven as DHHS vaccine guidance.
[1:22:57 – 1:23:04] Adam: Tomahome pulls deep intel and hard-hitting news from its elite team of researchers dubbed Tomahomies.
[1:23:05 – 1:23:16] Adam: The Tomahomey Network provides critical research into box wine transportation methods far better than any researcher with a PhD on other sponsored podcasts.
[1:23:16 – 1:23:17] Adam: That’s true.
[1:23:18 – 1:23:26] Adam: Every episode concluding with spiritual guidance about life being a miracle after the hosts complete their occasional herbally-infused beverages.
[1:23:27 – 1:23:37] Adam: Dumb Home, a podcast by middle-aged guys, inebriated people giggling for the middle-aged inebriated people giggling and smirking mildly.
[1:23:38 – 1:23:38] Adam: Smirkling.
[1:23:39 – 1:23:39] Adam: Smirkling.
[1:23:39 – 1:23:40] Adam: Thank you.
[1:23:40 – 1:23:42] Adam: You got me to say smirkling on a live mic.
[1:23:47 – 1:23:47] Adam: Yeah.
[1:23:48 – 1:23:49] Adam: We’re having a good time here.
[1:23:49 – 1:23:49] Adam: Yeah.
[1:23:50 – 1:23:51] Adam: Thank you for listening.
[1:23:51 – 1:23:54] Erik: It’s just a bunch of people looking at each other in the mirror, I think, at this point.
[1:23:56 – 1:23:58] Adam: Yeah, there is a lot of giggling.
[1:23:59 – 1:24:00] Adam: I’ll admit to the giggling for sure.
[1:24:01 – 1:24:02] Adam: Well, what way?
[1:24:03 – 1:24:06] Adam: And yeah, you know, I think somebody’s got to talk about the Chimp Biscuits.
[1:24:06 – 1:24:07] Erik: Take it seriously?
[1:24:08 – 1:24:11] Adam: Yeah, we are serious.
[1:24:12 – 1:24:14] Adam: Gobi in my pants says an email has been sent, but…
[1:24:15 – 1:24:16] Adam: I think we read that already.
[1:24:17 – 1:24:20] Adam: We already started with the email, so thank you for the email.
[1:24:21 – 1:24:32] Adam: Next up on the show, oh my god, it’s a doozy from Hopalicious, the dearest tumble homie and curator of the art supplies…
[1:24:34 – 1:25:00] Adam: museum i would call it a museum at this point the art supplies list is 300 i mean that’s got to be three different super threads i don’t even know how red it works at that point i’m not sure either hopalicious knows though man he’s always been there for us and he’ll figure it out can’t wait to see you on long island lake in a couple weeks what do you got to say for us here 10 days ago is he gonna roast us oh man i hope i hope he does
[1:25:01 – 1:25:19] Adam: there’s a lack of roast here so here it goes hold on i’m gonna have a drink oh god here we go we’re both gonna take a big drink of this literally a gallon size can this is like when i was in munich as a teenager and they gave me a boot of beer the size of my like thorax
[1:25:20 – 1:25:21] Adam: All right, here it goes.
[1:25:22 – 1:25:23] Adam: To be clear, these are jokes.
[1:25:25 – 1:25:30] Adam: Jokes are definitely written by me and not stolen from the Norm MacDonald roast of Bob Saget.
[1:25:31 – 1:25:34] Adam: These similarities are purely coincidental.
[1:25:36 – 1:25:39] Adam: So I got to be trying to be Norm MacDonald.
[1:25:39 – 1:25:41] Adam: I don’t know if I have it in me.
[1:25:41 – 1:25:42] Adam: Well, I’ll do my best.
[1:25:43 – 1:25:43] Adam: Do your best.
[1:25:43 – 1:25:44] Adam: I’m moving my microphone a little bit.
[1:25:45 – 1:25:46] Adam: Adam is here.
[1:25:46 – 1:25:47] Adam: Adam.
[1:25:47 – 1:25:50] Adam: Adam, if people say you’re over the hill, don’t believe them.
[1:25:51 – 1:25:51] Adam: Why?
[1:25:51 – 1:25:52] Adam: You’ll never be over the hill.
[1:25:53 – 1:25:55] Adam: Not in that dusty vibe.
[1:25:57 – 1:25:59] Adam: You know, it only takes Adam one drink to get drunk.
[1:26:00 – 1:26:03] Adam: But he’s not sure if it’s his 9th or 10th or his 11th.
[1:26:05 – 1:26:06] Adam: Adam Shirley is great.
[1:26:06 – 1:26:11] Adam: He has the grace of a swan, the wisdom of an owl, and the eye of an eagle.
[1:26:12 – 1:26:15] Adam: Ladies and gentlemen, this man is for the birds.
[1:26:16 – 1:26:20] Adam: Adam, one of the best podcast hosts this show has ever seen.
[1:26:21 – 1:26:24] Adam: Adam, when you go to the bathroom later, you’ll see a door sign that says gentlemen.
[1:26:25 – 1:26:26] Adam: Pay no heed to that sign.
[1:26:26 – 1:26:27] Adam: Go right in.
[1:26:27 – 1:26:30] Adam: There’s no room for that that says scoundrel on it.
[1:26:30 – 1:26:31] Adam: So there you go.
[1:26:32 – 1:26:33] Adam: There’s no need to keep searching.
[1:26:34 – 1:26:42] Adam: People say Adam is a bit of a skinflint, a little tight with a dollar, but I find him to be a real carefree guy.
[1:26:43 – 1:26:46] Adam: Yep, he doesn’t care as long as it’s free.
[1:26:47 – 1:26:48] Adam: A carefree guy.
[1:26:48 – 1:26:48] Adam: That’s true.
[1:26:48 – 1:26:49] Adam: I am super carefree.
[1:26:52 – 1:26:54] Adam: Now we come to Eric, and that’s why we’re all here.
[1:26:55 – 1:27:02] Adam: Eric, you have a lot of well-wishers here on this subreddit, and a lot of them would like to throw you one down.
[1:27:02 – 1:27:03] Adam: A well.
[1:27:07 – 1:27:10] Adam: They want to murder you in a well.
[1:27:11 – 1:27:15] Adam: Seems a little harsh, but apparently they do want to murder you in a well.
[1:27:15 – 1:27:16] Erik: Right, yeah.
[1:27:16 – 1:27:17] Adam: No, no.
[1:27:17 – 1:27:19] Adam: But Eric has a beautiful face, like a flower.
[1:27:20 – 1:27:20] Adam: Yeah.
[1:27:20 – 1:27:22] Adam: A cauliflower.
[1:27:22 – 1:27:25] Adam: No offense, but your face looks like a cauliflower.
[1:27:26 – 1:27:32] Adam: No, I think that Eric should join the Ku Klux Klan, and that’s not just because he’s a racist.
[1:27:33 – 1:27:34] Adam: He’s not a racist.
[1:27:35 – 1:27:40] Adam: It’s just that he’d look a lot better with a hood over his head on account of his cauliflower face.
[1:27:44 – 1:27:50] Adam: There are times when Eric has something on his mind, like when he wears a hat with no thoughts at all, just a hat.
[1:27:51 – 1:27:53] Adam: And Eric, he’s not very worldly.
[1:27:54 – 1:28:00] Adam: He thinks the English Channel is a British TV station and not a body of water separating England and France.
[1:28:01 – 1:28:02] Adam: Did you know that?
[1:28:02 – 1:28:03] Adam: It actually is a body of water.
[1:28:04 – 1:28:04] Adam: Yeah.
[1:28:04 – 1:28:05] Adam: You could paddle it.
[1:28:06 – 1:28:07] Adam: I think it has been paddled.
[1:28:08 – 1:28:10] Adam: Eric isn’t the biggest sports fan.
[1:28:10 – 1:28:12] Adam: I don’t think I’m telling any tales out of school.
[1:28:13 – 1:28:17] Adam: I took him to a ball game, and he came toting a double-barreled shotgun.
[1:28:17 – 1:28:19] Adam: I said, what the H is that for?
[1:28:19 – 1:28:22] Adam: Eric said, I heard the Lions were playing the Tigers.
[1:28:24 – 1:28:45] Adam: oh toast oh we get a toast congrats to you both on 300 episodes it’s been a wild ride of ups downs twists and turns but none of it was dull cheers to those two voices of liquid gold huzzah huzzah and next stop is 600 actually it is episode 999 is the next stop
[1:28:47 – 1:28:51] Adam: Actually, no, $600 would be the end of Act 2, and then $999.
[1:28:52 – 1:28:53] Adam: The third act will be very long.
[1:28:54 – 1:29:00] Adam: RIP Norm MacDonald, and there is a YouTube link I kind of want to click on very badly.
[1:29:00 – 1:29:02] Adam: Is it probably just going to be this roast?
[1:29:02 – 1:29:04] Adam: Yeah, I’m sure it’s just probably Norm.
[1:29:04 – 1:29:08] Adam: We’ll click on it later because we don’t want to interrupt the flow, but…
[1:29:10 – 1:29:11] Adam: Thank you for the roast.
[1:29:11 – 1:29:15] Adam: That was actually probably the most real roast yet we’ve gotten.
[1:29:15 – 1:29:16] Adam: The roastiest of roasts.
[1:29:16 – 1:29:18] Adam: I wouldn’t expect anything less from our dear friend Hopalicious.
[1:29:18 – 1:29:26] Adam: So thank you for being a part of the show, Hopalicious, and thank you for keeping it real and sticking it to us a little bit.
[1:29:26 – 1:29:26] Adam: Thank you.
[1:29:30 – 1:29:32] Erik: Where are we at here?
[1:29:33 – 1:29:33] Erik: Ooh.
[1:29:34 – 1:29:35] Erik: All right.
[1:29:35 – 1:29:36] Erik: Comprehensive?
[1:29:37 – 1:29:38] Erik: Comprehensive.
[1:29:39 – 1:29:39] Erik: I finished it.
[1:29:40 – 1:29:41] Erik: I cannot.
[1:29:41 – 1:29:46] Erik: I cannot believe that you drank that canister, that drum of beer.
[1:29:46 – 1:29:49] Adam: Hey, he said I get drunk after one beer.
[1:29:49 – 1:29:51] Adam: So, I mean, in this case, I actually think it’s true.
[1:29:52 – 1:29:53] Adam: Look at this thing.
[1:29:53 – 1:29:56] Adam: Can we get on mic how loud this thing is to crush?
[1:29:56 – 1:29:56] Adam: Crush it.
[1:29:58 – 1:30:00] Erik: He did that up against his head.
[1:30:02 – 1:30:02] Adam: Boom!
[1:30:02 – 1:30:04] Adam: Manitowish waters.
[1:30:04 – 1:30:06] Adam: Press it up against his forehead.
[1:30:06 – 1:30:08] Adam: Yeah, now I’m chewing on it.
[1:30:09 – 1:30:11] Erik: Imagine if you sleep on the cot tonight in the shed here.
[1:30:12 – 1:30:13] Erik: Yeah, there is a cot.
[1:30:13 – 1:30:16] Erik: Comprehensive underscore ant underscore 81.
[1:30:17 – 1:30:17] Erik: First time?
[1:30:18 – 1:30:18] Erik: Thank you.
[1:30:18 – 1:30:20] Erik: Welcome to the show.
[1:30:20 – 1:30:20] Erik: Woo!
[1:30:22 – 1:30:28] Erik: First time, I think first time, first started listening because of a friend.
[1:30:28 – 1:30:30] Adam: It’s always somebody.
[1:30:30 – 1:30:31] Erik: It’s always a friend.
[1:30:31 – 1:30:32] Adam: I was talking about this in 002.
[1:30:32 – 1:30:40] Adam: You know, like most people end up coming to the Boundary Riders because somebody else like recommend, hey, you want to come on a trip or you want to like check, you should check this place out.
[1:30:40 – 1:30:43] Adam: It’s always somebody getting somebody else into something.
[1:30:43 – 1:30:45] Erik: I didn’t decide to do anything really.
[1:30:46 – 1:30:48] Adam: Some people just look at a map and are like, I’m going to go there.
[1:30:49 – 1:30:50] Adam: But that’s not usually how it goes.
[1:30:51 – 1:30:55] Erik: It’s usually at least a little bit of an inclination from a friend.
[1:30:55 – 1:30:57] Erik: People are always trusting of the word of mouth.
[1:30:57 – 1:31:00] Erik: Word of mouth is huge, baby.
[1:31:00 – 1:31:01] Adam: W-O-M.
[1:31:02 – 1:31:08] Adam: I could tell some shopper in the co-op tomorrow that I love Colby Jack cheese and they’d be like, I’m buying 10 pounds.
[1:31:08 – 1:31:12] Erik: I came in here planning to get curds, but I’m getting Colby Jack.
[1:31:12 – 1:31:16] Adam: Hell, this boy here says he loves Colby Jack, and I tell him what.
[1:31:16 – 1:31:17] Adam: He looks like an honest fellow.
[1:31:18 – 1:31:19] Adam: Yeah.
[1:31:19 – 1:31:22] Adam: Then they go and buy the old baby loaf of Colby Jack.
[1:31:22 – 1:31:23] Adam: Word of mouth.
[1:31:24 – 1:31:26] Adam: I’m like, ma’am, you don’t need to buy a whole baby loaf.
[1:31:27 – 1:31:28] Adam: Mini loaf will do.
[1:31:28 – 1:31:33] Adam: And she’s like, son, I’m buying two baby loaves now that you said that.
[1:31:33 – 1:31:35] Adam: I’m going to fill your mouth with Colby Jack.
[1:31:35 – 1:31:37] Erik: I love Colby Jack.
[1:31:38 – 1:31:41] Adam: Sorry to derail the conversation on cheese once again.
[1:31:42 – 1:31:43] Adam: I do love my cheese, though.
[1:31:43 – 1:31:44] Erik: It can happen at any time.
[1:31:45 – 1:31:49] Adam: You never know on Tumble Home when we’re going to go off on a cheese tangent.
[1:31:50 – 1:31:53] Erik: First started listening because a friend recommended the podcast.
[1:31:54 – 1:32:05] Erik: So I looked through some episodes to check it out and saw the episode about maps and thought that would be interesting to learn about the various map brands slash differences.
[1:32:07 – 1:32:09] Erik: I was cracking up as the episode developed.
[1:32:10 – 1:32:11] Erik: Oh, sorry.
[1:32:11 – 1:32:12] Erik: It’s not developed.
[1:32:12 – 1:32:13] Erik: Devolved?
[1:32:13 – 1:32:16] Adam: It’s devolved, which is usually what happens.
[1:32:17 – 1:32:18] Adam: What is going on right now?
[1:32:18 – 1:32:22] Erik: I was cracking up as the episode devolved into everything but maps.
[1:32:23 – 1:32:41] Erik: And then an hour in, you said, okay, we should finally talk about maps before immediately pivoting to talking about where you find episodes of SpongeBob to watch in order to understand the memes and then wondering if the… What the fuck?
[1:32:42 – 1:32:42] Erik: Oh, God.
[1:32:44 – 1:32:48] Erik: Before immediately pivoting to talking about the…
[1:32:48 – 1:32:52] Erik: I’m going to start from scratch again.
[1:32:52 – 1:32:54] Erik: Yeah.
[1:32:54 – 1:32:55] Erik: The SpongeBob really threw me.
[1:32:55 – 1:33:00] Erik: I do not remember talking about SpongeBob that in depth in those episodes.
[1:33:01 – 1:33:16] Erik: Before immediately pivoting to talking about where to find episodes of Spongebob to watch in order to understand the memes and then wondering if the referee from the old Nickelodeon gut show could be a future guest.
[1:33:18 – 1:33:19] Adam: Marco Mali.
[1:33:19 – 1:33:22] Adam: If he just walked through the door right now, this would be like the greatest episode.
[1:33:22 – 1:33:30] Erik: If Marco Mali came in as an episode 300 spectacular special guest, he’d be the first actual guest we ever had.
[1:33:31 – 1:33:34] Adam: Mark O’Malley, if you’re listening somehow to this episode, please hit us up.
[1:33:35 – 1:33:37] Adam: It’s tumblehumcast at gmail.com.
[1:33:37 – 1:33:37] Adam: Yeah.
[1:33:37 – 1:33:38] Adam: We do want to talk.
[1:33:38 – 1:33:42] Erik: The whole episode was then dubbed the George R.R.
[1:33:42 – 1:33:47] Erik: Martin world building episode to set the stage for the actual Mavs episode.
[1:33:47 – 1:33:50] Erik: Needless to say, I had to tune into Mavs part two.
[1:33:52 – 1:34:16] Adam: and you did i’m so sorry you actually listened to part two yeah but had a great time and instantly subscribed literally everything you watch these days is like please subscribe please hit the like button it’s like i don’t know if we’ve ever like asked for a like or a subscribe once but there are people who do subscribe and we do thank you yeah um but we’re not gonna ask you know
[1:34:17 – 1:34:21] Adam: But if it strikes you as something you’d like to listen to, yeah, I guess go ahead and subscribe.
[1:34:21 – 1:34:22] Adam: Yeah.
[1:34:22 – 1:34:26] Adam: I also just, you know, I don’t know how it even comes into my feed.
[1:34:27 – 1:34:29] Adam: I probably did like our own podcast at some point.
[1:34:30 – 1:34:31] Adam: I would hope so.
[1:34:31 – 1:34:33] Adam: That’s how it always shows up in the feed, huh?
[1:34:33 – 1:34:33] Adam: Yeah.
[1:34:33 – 1:34:37] Adam: Or is it just because you downloaded the last one and you want this one?
[1:34:38 – 1:34:39] Adam: I think that’s more of that maybe.
[1:34:40 – 1:34:44] Erik: Well, it’s also a weird thing like how podcasts work these days.
[1:34:44 – 1:34:52] Erik: I had to learn how to get this into the ether, into the world back in 2018, 2017, 2018.
[1:34:52 – 1:34:53] Erik: You know all about the RSS.
[1:34:53 – 1:34:53] Erik: Yeah.
[1:34:55 – 1:34:57] Erik: It’s much more difficult than I’m sure it is now.
[1:34:58 – 1:35:08] Erik: I’m sure you could just literally take an MP3 file and puke it onto a website that’s like, I will take your podcast and make it a podcast.
[1:35:08 – 1:35:10] Erik: Yeah, but then you don’t own it.
[1:35:10 – 1:35:12] Erik: At least we have custody of Tomahawk.
[1:35:12 – 1:35:13] Erik: Oh, I got custody, baby.
[1:35:13 – 1:35:19] Adam: We’re not going to get taken down the country lane or whatever.
[1:35:19 – 1:35:20] Adam: No.
[1:35:20 – 1:35:20] Adam: No way.
[1:35:22 – 1:35:36] Adam: uh our attorney would never allow it for one and trevon’s also got our back i’m pretty sure oh sorry oh trevon uh we got a couple more comments here we’re actually getting down to the down to the the wire
[1:35:38 – 1:35:42] Erik: We might be getting on here for a little bit.
[1:35:42 – 1:35:43] Erik: We got Bob Ross Paddler.
[1:35:44 – 1:35:46] Erik: I got a long list of…
[1:35:46 – 1:35:51] Erik: I got a long sequence of paragraphs.
[1:35:51 – 1:35:53] Erik: And then there is also a ranking list.
[1:35:54 – 1:35:55] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[1:35:55 – 1:35:55] Adam: Of rants.
[1:35:56 – 1:35:57] Adam: Rant ranker, good.
[1:35:57 – 1:36:01] Erik: The only person who actually did a top 10 rant ranker.
[1:36:01 – 1:36:04] Erik: Somebody took it on, you know, and that’s not easy.
[1:36:04 – 1:36:06] Erik: I’m going to upload it right now, even though I haven’t looked at it.
[1:36:06 – 1:36:08] Adam: Yeah, your rants have been ranked.
[1:36:09 – 1:36:13] Erik: But Bob Ross Paddler coming in with a legit comment.
[1:36:13 – 1:36:15] Erik: I’ll read this, and then you can do the rant ranker.
[1:36:15 – 1:36:16] Erik: Oh, boy.
[1:36:16 – 1:36:18] Erik: Eric and Adam, spelled correctly, both.
[1:36:19 – 1:36:21] Erik: As I sit here in the basking…
[1:36:22 – 1:36:27] Erik: In bottomless serenity that is the dining room of Betty’s Pies.
[1:36:27 – 1:36:28] Erik: Wow.
[1:36:28 – 1:36:31] Erik: On an August Saturday afternoon.
[1:36:33 – 1:36:34] Erik: I’m nervously laughing.
[1:36:34 – 1:36:35] Erik: Sounds like a nightmare.
[1:36:36 – 1:36:47] Erik: I am filled with gratitude for how your podcast brought this dreamy experience and so many others to fulfillment on Minnesota’s North Shore.
[1:36:49 – 1:37:00] Erik: When exquisitely planning my fishing trip to Ensign via long phone calls to Hall & Oates Outfitters last August, I thought I had it all figured out.
[1:37:00 – 1:37:03] Erik: But oh, how little I truly knew.
[1:37:03 – 1:37:06] Erik: Ensign just wasn’t for us.
[1:37:07 – 1:37:11] Erik: The tow couldn’t even take us directly to our campsite.
[1:37:12 – 1:37:32] Erik: We had to portage some newfangled concept canoe called a Min 2 that was too tippy for Bobby and me, and yet couldn’t hold our week-long supply of Crispix, three gallons of cow’s milk, two sacks of…
[1:37:34 – 1:37:35] Erik: Just the shells.
[1:37:35 – 1:37:37] Erik: Two sacks of potatoes.
[1:37:38 – 1:37:38] Erik: Oh, God.
[1:37:38 – 1:37:42] Erik: A car battery and electric fence to keep out the bears.
[1:37:43 – 1:37:44] Erik: I forgot about the electric fence.
[1:37:44 – 1:37:52] Erik: A screen tent and extra pairs of biodegradable shredded underwear to wear under our jeans.
[1:37:53 – 1:37:53] Erik: Holy moly.
[1:37:54 – 1:38:02] Erik: But thanks to you, we won’t make that same mistake again because you’ve helped us figure it all out.
[1:38:03 – 1:38:07] Erik: Next year, when Bobby and I return, we’ll be paddling a Champlain.
[1:38:08 – 1:38:08] Erik: Yes.
[1:38:08 – 1:38:10] Erik: Perhaps you’ve heard of it.
[1:38:14 – 1:38:18] Erik: Hall & Oates says it’s the speediest craft meant to be handled.
[1:38:19 – 1:38:21] Erik: Meant to handle a trip like ours.
[1:38:23 – 1:38:30] Erik: On the way out of town, we illegally parked in an Ely back alley to make some hurried purchases for our next trip.
[1:38:31 – 1:38:32] Erik: We did that once.
[1:38:32 – 1:38:32] Erik: Yeah.
[1:38:33 – 1:38:50] Erik: We met a hatchet salesman named Monk who was in the highest of spirits until we hurriedly snatched their most expensive hatchet from the wall and demanded checkout pronto so we could make it to Betty’s Pies before all the good pie…
[1:38:51 – 1:38:55] Erik: Before all the good pies were sold out to the good pies.
[1:38:57 – 1:38:59] Erik: Monk’s eyes widened in disbelief.
[1:39:00 – 1:39:05] Erik: Then narrowed in a mixture of deep sorrow from an old wound.
[1:39:05 – 1:39:08] Erik: And we had heard him despondently mutter.
[1:39:08 – 1:39:09] Erik: Could it be?
[1:39:09 – 1:39:13] Erik: Is it happening all over again?
[1:39:14 – 1:39:20] Erik: The new hatchet is going to be my son’s new secret weapon in camp next season.
[1:39:21 – 1:39:26] Erik: He told me that no rotten birch log of any size stands a chance.
[1:39:28 – 1:39:35] Erik: We have our sights set on a new, little-known secret of the BWCA next season, the campsite on Little Caribou.
[1:39:36 – 1:39:40] Erik: Do you think it will be open for us next August?
[1:39:40 – 1:39:42] Adam: This is the funniest joke yet on the show.
[1:39:43 – 1:39:44] Erik: Yeah, it’s probably going to be open.
[1:39:44 – 1:39:45] Erik: I’m sure you’re going to get it.
[1:39:46 – 1:39:50] Erik: I’m getting hot and bothered just reading about it on the internet.
[1:39:52 – 1:39:55] Erik: I bet you haven’t even heard of how great it is.
[1:39:56 – 1:40:05] Erik: When I think of the Bonjewaters, I give thanks to you, Eric and Adam, who told me that a Bonjewaters trip is possible.
[1:40:06 – 1:40:10] Erik: To the trip just passed and the greatest adventure that lies just ahead of us.
[1:40:12 – 1:40:19] Erik: I raise this, my 2.5 ounces, speedy, compostable runner cuppy to you.
[1:40:21 – 1:40:23] Erik: Eric and Adam, man, I’m hot.
[1:40:24 – 1:40:26] Erik: Let’s make it a fast toast.
[1:40:26 – 1:40:30] Erik: I need to throw this in the ditch and get back to my adventures.
[1:40:34 – 1:40:35] Erik: And then we scroll down a little bit.
[1:40:35 – 1:40:37] Erik: Eric and Adam, cheers to you.
[1:40:37 – 1:40:45] Erik: You once said on an earlier episode that a mentor was almost mandatory for somebody looking to paddle the Bonjouaris.
[1:40:46 – 1:40:47] Erik: Well, I didn’t have a mentor.
[1:40:48 – 1:40:48] Erik: I did have you.
[1:40:49 – 1:40:54] Erik: And there’s no way I’d have been able to take these canoe trips without your help.
[1:40:55 – 1:40:59] Erik: Thanks to the podcast, my son went on his first trip this year.
[1:41:01 – 1:41:01] Erik: Many more to come.
[1:41:03 – 1:41:15] Erik: You somehow enabled me to take on what would have seemed an insurmountable task in planning these trips, all while keeping our whole household laughing all along.
[1:41:15 – 1:41:16] Erik: Thank you.
[1:41:19 – 1:41:19] Adam: Yeah.
[1:41:20 – 1:41:21] Adam: Thank you.
[1:41:22 – 1:41:22] Adam: No, thank you.
[1:41:23 – 1:41:24] Erik: Thanks, Bob Ross Paddler.
[1:41:24 – 1:41:26] Erik: That’s a great comment.
[1:41:27 – 1:41:28] Erik: And…
[1:41:30 – 1:41:48] Erik: At the end of the day, if the show ended at 300 and I got one comment that said I was able to help introduce a family to the Bajewaters, it would have all been worth it, I think.
[1:41:48 – 1:41:51] Erik: Do you want to do the ranking?
[1:41:51 – 1:41:54] Adam: Yeah, I’ll take some rant ranks.
[1:41:54 – 1:41:56] Adam: We got one ranking rants.
[1:41:57 – 1:41:58] Adam: I can rank these rants.
[1:41:58 – 1:41:59] Erik: Rant rankers!
[1:42:00 – 1:42:00] Erik: Rant rank!
[1:42:01 – 1:42:03] Adam: Rant rank!
[1:42:04 – 1:42:05] Adam: We’re ranking them rants.
[1:42:08 – 1:42:09] Adam: Number one.
[1:42:09 – 1:42:10] Adam: We’re just starting at number one?
[1:42:12 – 1:42:14] Adam: I guess we’re going to start at number one.
[1:42:14 – 1:42:18] Adam: McDonaldland characters rant.
[1:42:19 – 1:42:31] Adam: Somehow, because of Primer from Plumbing Project, we ended up talking about Grimace and then entirely going off the rails for three weeks about McDonaldland characters.
[1:42:33 – 1:42:35] Adam: Uh, I’m still laughing about that one.
[1:42:35 – 1:42:37] Adam: Honestly, every time I see Grimace, I still laugh.
[1:42:37 – 1:42:38] Adam: Number one.
[1:42:38 – 1:42:39] Erik: Yeah, he’s a funny character.
[1:42:39 – 1:42:47] Adam: Number two, Adam loses his mind as the FZ Slim gets spanked by the stick of dynamite in the learnament.
[1:42:47 – 1:42:48] Adam: Ha ha ha!
[1:42:51 – 1:43:06] Adam: yeah you people are crazy you don’t even know you don’t even know what you’ve done but um actually it did send me on a journey of fulfillment towards learning how to legally buy tnt so that was actually pretty nice
[1:43:06 – 1:43:10] Adam: Number three, Adam upselling milks at McDonald’s.
[1:43:11 – 1:43:12] Adam: It’s all about McDonald’s on this show.
[1:43:12 – 1:43:13] Adam: I didn’t know that one.
[1:43:13 – 1:43:14] Adam: Yeah.
[1:43:14 – 1:43:16] Adam: I told the story how when I was working the drive through.
[1:43:16 – 1:43:17] Adam: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1:43:17 – 1:43:21] Adam: That’s trying to sell as many milks until we ran the whole store out of milk.
[1:43:21 – 1:43:22] Adam: Yeah.
[1:43:22 – 1:43:23] Adam: What are you doing?
[1:43:24 – 1:43:24] Adam: Milk with that.
[1:43:24 – 1:43:25] Adam: How about another milk?
[1:43:25 – 1:43:27] Adam: And they’re like, we just bought one.
[1:43:27 – 1:43:28] Adam: I was like, how about two?
[1:43:28 – 1:43:30] Erik: Please stop.
[1:43:30 – 1:43:31] Erik: One is not enough.
[1:43:31 – 1:43:33] Adam: No, you need all the milk.
[1:43:33 – 1:43:39] Adam: Number four, internet shopping, e-newsletters, and sewage pumps.
[1:43:40 – 1:43:41] Erik: We’re buying sewage pumps?
[1:43:42 – 1:43:42] Erik: Oh, no.
[1:43:42 – 1:43:49] Erik: I think I remember that was back in my Clearwater days when I was investigating replacing a sewer pump, and it was one of those…
[1:43:50 – 1:43:50] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:43:50 – 1:43:52] Erik: I’m sure the internet still works like this.
[1:43:52 – 1:43:53] Erik: Who knows?
[1:43:53 – 1:43:56] Erik: But if you search one thing ever…
[1:43:56 – 1:43:59] Erik: That it just constantly shows up on the sidebar.
[1:43:59 – 1:44:01] Adam: Hey, you love sewage pumps, eh, bud?
[1:44:01 – 1:44:04] Erik: I was like, oh, yeah, I’m doing a little work research here.
[1:44:04 – 1:44:06] Erik: I got to find out a little septic pump.
[1:44:06 – 1:44:11] Erik: And then like two days later, I’m just on like general Reddit.
[1:44:11 – 1:44:14] Erik: And like my sidebar is filled with like shit pumps.
[1:44:15 – 1:44:17] Adam: You want to see nude septic pumps?
[1:44:17 – 1:44:18] Erik: They’re nude.
[1:44:19 – 1:44:20] Adam: What the hell?
[1:44:20 – 1:44:20] Adam: How is it even possible?
[1:44:20 – 1:44:23] Adam: Number five, the Viking Okantantis.
[1:44:23 – 1:44:24] Adam: Yeah, well.
[1:44:24 – 1:44:24] Adam: Yeah.
[1:44:25 – 1:44:27] Adam: Cruise ship, obviously, and that’s a good one.
[1:44:27 – 1:44:28] Adam: Still very relatable.
[1:44:28 – 1:44:30] Adam: Still sailing around out there.
[1:44:30 – 1:44:31] Adam: It hasn’t learned its lesson.
[1:44:32 – 1:44:34] Adam: Number six, Wenzel tents.
[1:44:35 – 1:44:37] Adam: I think that’s, like, the Walmart brand tents.
[1:44:37 – 1:44:40] Adam: Yeah, that, like, rip as soon as, you know, a butterfly lands on them.
[1:44:41 – 1:44:41] Adam: Mm-hmm.
[1:44:41 – 1:44:45] Adam: Number seven, garbage bag windows and PT cruisers.
[1:44:46 – 1:44:47] Erik: Wow, that’s a good one.
[1:44:47 – 1:44:48] Adam: Yeah, I remember that.
[1:44:48 – 1:44:52] Adam: I think that was the episode when we were recording in front of the library in the Mazda.
[1:44:52 – 1:44:53] Adam: Umbellas.
[1:44:53 – 1:44:53] Adam: Yes.
[1:44:55 – 1:44:56] Adam: What an episode.
[1:44:57 – 1:45:04] Adam: Just sitting in front of the library in town, drinking beers in the Mazda, joking about PT Cruisers and how shabby they look.
[1:45:04 – 1:45:15] Erik: I think it started with just the state of affairs that your life becomes when you have a duct-taped garbage bag window.
[1:45:15 – 1:45:15] Erik: Yeah.
[1:45:15 – 1:45:23] Erik: And then we heightened it by being like, if you’re a driver of a PT Cruiser, who is one of those windows?
[1:45:24 – 1:45:24] Erik: Yeah.
[1:45:24 – 1:45:27] Adam: You might as well just sell that.
[1:45:28 – 1:45:30] Adam: Number eight, the Mall of America.
[1:45:31 – 1:45:32] Adam: Yeah, obviously.
[1:45:32 – 1:45:36] Adam: I think it’s probably the antithesis to Tumble Home.
[1:45:36 – 1:45:39] Erik: Yeah, I think that was when maybe you were down there for a work trip.
[1:45:39 – 1:45:41] Adam: I had to go down there for a work trip, yeah.
[1:45:41 – 1:45:43] Adam: I’d never been down there before.
[1:45:44 – 1:45:45] Adam: Number nine, Betty’s Pies.
[1:45:45 – 1:45:47] Adam: I’ve still never been in Betty’s Pies.
[1:45:47 – 1:45:48] Erik: I’ve never actually been in there myself.
[1:45:49 – 1:45:54] Erik: Maybe we should do that one of these days, just to confirm that it actually is as horrible as it seems.
[1:45:54 – 1:45:54] Erik: Yeah.
[1:45:54 – 1:46:18] Erik: probably not even that bad i’ve had experiences with the pies themselves not yeah in the restaurant but have come to me yeah left behind by others as they are as they are wanting to be i mean just as a perfect example like who leaves behind pie why would you leave it behind it can’t be that great i would wrap that in plastic wrap and put it in my pocket if it was good yeah
[1:46:19 – 1:46:31] Adam: number 10 anything involving ensign lake which is true we’re pretty harsh on ensign it’s pretty crazy that’s the top 10 that i could think of like another five or six that
[1:46:31 – 1:46:32] Adam: We love to rant.
[1:46:32 – 1:46:33] Adam: Yeah.
[1:46:33 – 1:46:34] Adam: And we love to rank.
[1:46:35 – 1:46:36] Adam: I don’t know if it was ranking the rants.
[1:46:36 – 1:46:42] Adam: I guess this was ranking the rants, but you can also rank the ranks, too, probably.
[1:46:43 – 1:46:43] Erik: Rank the rants.
[1:46:43 – 1:46:44] Erik: Rank the rants.
[1:46:44 – 1:46:45] Erik: Rank the rants.
[1:46:46 – 1:46:47] Erik: We’re ranking those rants.
[1:46:47 – 1:46:48] Adam: All right.
[1:46:48 – 1:46:49] Adam: We’re going to go out here, huh?
[1:46:49 – 1:46:50] Adam: We’re almost done.
[1:46:51 – 1:46:56] Adam: Next up on the show, Boundary Waters Barbie, five days ago.
[1:46:57 – 1:47:02] Adam: Didn’t have a good roast, so I convinced my boyfriend to write this song with me, composed by him.
[1:47:04 – 1:47:09] Adam: Make Your Own Sticks, The Trevon Story by Dr. Meps and the Boundary Waters Barbie with Eric and Adam.
[1:47:10 – 1:47:11] Adam: Oh, are we featured?
[1:47:11 – 1:47:15] Adam: Really wish I’d seen Admiral Geary’s post before I did the lyrics.
[1:47:16 – 1:47:18] Adam: All family-friendly and radio-friendly.
[1:47:18 – 1:47:21] Adam: So don’t miss the end.
[1:47:21 – 1:47:22] Adam: Oh.
[1:47:22 – 1:47:24] Adam: Congratulations on 300.
[1:47:25 – 1:47:26] Adam: And here’s the link.
[1:47:26 – 1:47:30] Adam: So anybody out there who has access to the subreddit can get this link.
[1:47:31 – 1:47:31] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[1:47:31 – 1:47:33] Erik: We will be ending the show with this song.
[1:47:34 – 1:47:36] Erik: I think we listened to it four times before we started recording.
[1:47:36 – 1:47:38] Adam: I think we listened to this at least four times.
[1:47:39 – 1:47:40] Erik: I’m pretty obsessed with it right now.
[1:47:41 – 1:47:42] Adam: I’m actually, I don’t know.
[1:47:42 – 1:47:44] Adam: Probably the best song I’ve ever heard.
[1:47:44 – 1:47:49] Erik: I don’t know what’s going on right now in my life, but I’m obsessed with a lot of music right now.
[1:47:49 – 1:47:50] Erik: Yes.
[1:47:50 – 1:47:54] Erik: And this, I mean, this song is right in there in the realm of.
[1:47:55 – 1:47:57] Adam: This might be the greatest song ever written.
[1:47:57 – 1:47:58] Adam: It could potentially be.
[1:47:58 – 1:48:01] Adam: It’s definitely like, it’s been stuck in my head all night.
[1:48:02 – 1:48:02] Adam: Yeah.
[1:48:02 – 1:48:06] Adam: And as soon as we finish recording, we’re probably going to play it again.
[1:48:06 – 1:48:07] Adam: That’s my guess.
[1:48:07 – 1:48:09] Adam: So definitely go on the subreddit and listen to this.
[1:48:10 – 1:48:11] Adam: It’s incredible.
[1:48:12 – 1:48:13] Adam: And we’re going to keep going.
[1:48:14 – 1:48:14] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:48:14 – 1:48:15] Adam: Here comes Turd Conductor.
[1:48:15 – 1:48:17] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:48:17 – 1:48:18] Adam: Toot, toot.
[1:48:18 – 1:48:20] Adam: Next up on the show, it’s Turd Conductor.
[1:48:21 – 1:48:26] Adam: I like your podcast, but I don’t like you.
[1:48:26 – 1:48:29] Adam: Toot, toot.
[1:48:29 – 1:48:30] Adam: Boom.
[1:48:30 – 1:48:30] Adam: Roasted.
[1:48:31 – 1:48:32] Erik: What is this?
[1:48:33 – 1:48:34] Erik: This is a blacked out.
[1:48:34 – 1:48:34] Erik: What do you do?
[1:48:35 – 1:48:35] Erik: Is that a spoiler?
[1:48:36 – 1:48:37] Adam: Yeah, reveal the spoiler.
[1:48:37 – 1:48:38] Adam: Reveal the spoiler.
[1:48:38 – 1:48:38] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:48:38 – 1:48:39] Adam: Does it say same?
[1:48:40 – 1:48:41] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:48:41 – 1:48:42] Adam: It says, I mean it.
[1:48:43 – 1:48:43] Adam: I don’t like that.
[1:48:44 – 1:48:45] Adam: Turd conductor, we’re nice.
[1:48:47 – 1:48:51] Adam: Last up on the show and final comment from one day ago.
[1:48:52 – 1:48:58] Adam: You got an exhausted Horty who definitely provided these massive beers from Manitowish Waters.
[1:48:59 – 1:49:00] Adam: So this is very poetic.
[1:49:00 – 1:49:02] Adam: This happens all the damn time on this show.
[1:49:02 – 1:49:03] Adam: We don’t plan it this way.
[1:49:04 – 1:49:09] Adam: Trevor’s not actually setting up an outline or whatever script for these shows.
[1:49:10 – 1:49:12] Adam: It just randomly happens this way.
[1:49:12 – 1:49:13] Adam: There’s no plans.
[1:49:13 – 1:49:15] Adam: We have a list.
[1:49:15 – 1:49:22] Adam: The beers come into the fridge and it just happened that these big, it just says biggins because they are biggins.
[1:49:22 – 1:49:23] Adam: They are massive.
[1:49:23 – 1:49:24] Adam: Dendrites.
[1:49:25 – 1:49:26] Adam: Thank you, Exhausted Horty.
[1:49:28 – 1:49:30] Adam: And I think Turd Conductor was also on the list here.
[1:49:31 – 1:49:31] Adam: Hold on.
[1:49:32 – 1:49:32] Erik: Well, screw that guy.
[1:49:33 – 1:49:33] Erik: He doesn’t love it.
[1:49:34 – 1:49:34] Adam: It is.
[1:49:34 – 1:49:37] Adam: Turd Conductor was also a show sponsor, though.
[1:49:37 – 1:49:38] Adam: It’s because he means it.
[1:49:39 – 1:49:41] Adam: Yeah, that one felt like he really did mean it.
[1:49:41 – 1:49:42] Erik: He actually cut a little deep there.
[1:49:42 – 1:49:43] Erik: I don’t like you.
[1:49:43 – 1:49:44] Erik: Why not?
[1:49:44 – 1:49:45] Erik: We’re nice.
[1:49:45 – 1:49:46] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:49:47 – 1:49:48] Adam: Next up on the show, Exhausted Horty.
[1:49:49 – 1:49:52] Adam: One day ago, final comment with two boxes of wine.
[1:49:53 – 1:49:53] Adam: Roast.
[1:49:54 – 1:50:03] Adam: Eric never shows his face because he knows he will never be able to muster the same follicular glory that is Adam’s stash.
[1:50:03 – 1:50:05] Erik: No, you got to think.
[1:50:05 – 1:50:07] Adam: You got to.
[1:50:09 – 1:50:14] Adam: Adam grows his ridiculous stash to compensate for his lack of unicycling skills.
[1:50:15 – 1:50:16] Adam: Well, that might be true.
[1:50:16 – 1:50:17] Adam: Boom and roasted.
[1:50:17 – 1:50:18] Adam: Boom roasted.
[1:50:19 – 1:50:19] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:50:19 – 1:50:22] Adam: I think our mustaches are both pretty nice.
[1:50:22 – 1:50:24] Erik: Equally commensurate to each other, I think.
[1:50:24 – 1:50:27] Adam: I’ve never been able to ride a unicycle, though.
[1:50:28 – 1:50:32] Erik: Well, the unicycle comment is a little bit more appropriate than the mustache comment.
[1:50:32 – 1:50:33] Erik: I don’t know if we needed to go there.
[1:50:34 – 1:50:34] Erik: All right, fine.
[1:50:35 – 1:50:37] Erik: We finally got a little under each other’s skin.
[1:50:37 – 1:50:42] Adam: I’m just mad that I’ve only gotten to do one month-long Quetico trip, and Eric’s gotten to do three.
[1:50:43 – 1:50:47] Adam: And I do feel inferior because of it, and it shows.
[1:50:47 – 1:50:52] Erik: Well, we’re all training for the month-long Wabaquimi trip.
[1:50:52 – 1:50:57] Adam: That’s true, in which we can finally determine if it has been contained.
[1:50:59 – 1:51:00] Adam: And now the toast.
[1:51:00 – 1:51:04] Adam: I started listening to the podcast during the dark days of the pandemic.
[1:51:04 – 1:51:10] Adam: I had my life yanked out from underneath me, and having oodles and oodles of time alone, I turned to podcasts.
[1:51:11 – 1:51:24] Adam: There were two podcasts I found at the time about the BWCA, and this quickly became my favorite for the easy banter that you two share that reminded me of the humor I share with the people I’ve tripped with in the BWCA.
[1:51:25 – 1:51:30] Adam: 2020 was a terrible year that took a lot away from me, from all of us.
[1:51:31 – 1:51:38] Adam: But I gain a community from it of like-minded peeps who love the Boundary Waters in the same goofy, weird, passionate way.
[1:51:39 – 1:51:45] Adam: So, cheers to 300 episodes and putting in the work to keep this big little thing going, guys.
[1:51:45 – 1:51:55] Adam: Thank you for taking your love for a special little part of the world and sharing and building something neat and lasting around it for all of us to love and enjoy with you.
[1:51:56 – 1:51:57] Adam: Thank you.
[1:51:57 – 1:51:58] Adam: I really like the way that sounds.
[1:51:59 – 1:52:02] Adam: I’m going to award an extra upvote on Eric’s account for you.
[1:52:02 – 1:52:03] Adam: Thank you very much.
[1:52:03 – 1:52:08] Erik: Great way to end the comments, I guess.
[1:52:08 – 1:52:09] Adam: I think so.
[1:52:10 – 1:52:17] Adam: You know, I appreciate all the comments, not just on this episode, but all 299 before it.
[1:52:19 – 1:52:25] Adam: You know, as I say to anybody that I meet in the co-op or on the streets or in the park that happens to say anything nice about it.
[1:52:26 – 1:52:26] Adam: In the streets.
[1:52:27 – 1:52:27] Adam: Yeah.
[1:52:27 – 1:52:29] Adam: Oh, I meet them in the streets down by the murals, Eric.
[1:52:30 – 1:52:30] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[1:52:31 – 1:52:33] Adam: They say, thanks for doing the podcast.
[1:52:33 – 1:52:35] Adam: And it’s like, no, thank you.
[1:52:35 – 1:52:39] Adam: Honestly, thank you for listening because we probably would do it by ourselves.
[1:52:39 – 1:52:44] Adam: But, I mean, it’s a lot more enjoyable that there’s people that listen to it and also contribute in a lot of ways.
[1:52:45 – 1:52:45] Adam: Yeah.
[1:52:45 – 1:52:46] Adam: Thanks for all the roasts.
[1:52:47 – 1:52:47] Adam: They’re sick.
[1:52:48 – 1:52:50] Adam: I think I’m going to manage, though.
[1:52:50 – 1:52:53] Adam: I think we’re going to live through those roasts.
[1:52:53 – 1:52:56] Adam: So you guys were firm but gentle.
[1:52:56 – 1:52:56] Adam: Yeah.
[1:52:56 – 1:52:57] Adam: So thank you.
[1:52:57 – 1:52:58] Erik: I’m going to go home and cry.
[1:53:00 – 1:53:07] Adam: I’m not going to cry because I drank a 32-ounce beer the size of a child, and I feel great.
[1:53:08 – 1:53:11] Adam: And also we get to listen to that sweet song again as soon as this episode’s over.
[1:53:11 – 1:53:17] Adam: So I think we’re probably – we’re not going to hit three hours, but I think this is probably a long one, and I’m looking forward to it.
[1:53:19 – 1:53:21] Adam: We’ll send Eric off on his trip to Quetico.
[1:53:21 – 1:53:23] Adam: We’re both wearing our Quetico hoodies, by the way.
[1:53:23 – 1:53:24] Adam: We are.
[1:53:24 – 1:53:24] Adam: Not planned.
[1:53:25 – 1:53:27] Adam: Our matching Quetico hoodies.
[1:53:27 – 1:53:27] Adam: Isn’t that cute?
[1:53:28 – 1:53:29] Adam: Isn’t that cute?
[1:53:29 – 1:53:30] Adam: Isn’t that cute?
[1:53:30 – 1:53:32] Adam: And, yeah, that’s the end of the first act.
[1:53:32 – 1:53:37] Adam: So we’ll see you for the second act starting in a couple weeks when we do our Tomahomey trip.
[1:53:37 – 1:53:38] Adam: I’m looking forward to that a lot.
[1:53:39 – 1:53:40] Adam: I’m looking forward to fall.
[1:53:41 – 1:53:42] Adam: I’m looking forward to the end of August.
[1:53:43 – 1:53:45] Adam: And we’re always looking forward.
[1:53:46 – 1:53:50] Adam: But, you know, it’s looking back and thinking about all the fun we’ve had.
[1:53:50 – 1:53:55] Adam: Those memories, too, are like, as we said at the top, the true wealth.
[1:53:55 – 1:53:57] Erik: Yeah, balance the appreciation.
[1:53:57 – 1:54:01] Erik: Don’t ever rest on your laurels too much.
[1:54:03 – 1:54:05] Erik: It’s nice to hear from everybody.
[1:54:07 – 1:54:09] Erik: And I don’t know.
[1:54:09 – 1:54:21] Erik: There’s a certain point where there’s a percentage of me that’s like, I would just keep doing this regardless of whether or not I heard from anybody going forward because I just like hanging out with Adam.
[1:54:22 – 1:54:30] Adam: It’s kind of how those solo episodes feel, though, like your American campgrounds and the Snog episodes where you just speak.
[1:54:30 – 1:54:36] Adam: There are those episodes where you do feel like you’re just speaking into the darkness of space.
[1:54:36 – 1:54:48] Erik: Not quite the same as having another person, even when we used to do, not used to, but the two or three episodes during COVID where we had to record Zoom.
[1:54:48 – 1:54:51] Erik: It’s like, it’s just not the same.
[1:54:51 – 1:55:00] Adam: Even that little bit of time delay caused by technology, it doesn’t work the same way.
[1:55:00 – 1:55:12] Erik: I’m sure that the technology has advanced to a point now where you wouldn’t even really notice it as a listener, but it doesn’t have the same effect.
[1:55:13 – 1:55:18] Erik: To be in the same room with somebody is what it’s all about, and…
[1:55:20 – 1:55:45] Erik: regardless not regardless i appreciate everything that everybody has had to say up to this point that’s been great um but like honestly it wouldn’t be it wouldn’t be a show without you adam like it wouldn’t be a show without the combination of whatever weird combination of
[1:55:50 – 1:55:56] Erik: I don’t even know what the best words to describe it are.
[1:55:57 – 1:56:18] Erik: It’s just one of those things that I don’t have any kind of a comparable relationship to very many other people in my life that I can just talk to for, like, we could just leave the microphones hot for another two hours and I’d be completely happy with that.
[1:56:19 – 1:56:20] Erik: Yeah, no doubt.
[1:56:20 – 1:56:22] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:56:22 – 1:56:27] Adam: You know, we started out by sanding the floors of Clearwater Lodge together.
[1:56:27 – 1:56:30] Adam: And then immediately we were like, we should do a month-long trip together.
[1:56:31 – 1:56:31] Erik: Yeah.
[1:56:31 – 1:56:32] Adam: I mean, you convinced me.
[1:56:33 – 1:56:35] Adam: You were like on it right away.
[1:56:35 – 1:56:36] Adam: And I do remember that.
[1:56:36 – 1:56:37] Adam: I’m like, yeah, we should go.
[1:56:38 – 1:56:39] Adam: We did it last year.
[1:56:39 – 1:56:40] Adam: We should come with.
[1:56:40 – 1:56:42] Adam: We’re both done at the end of September anyways.
[1:56:42 – 1:56:43] Adam: What are you going to do?
[1:56:43 – 1:56:44] Adam: And I was like, literally nothing.
[1:56:44 – 1:56:45] Adam: I’m going.
[1:56:45 – 1:56:46] Adam: I think I said yes pretty quickly.
[1:56:46 – 1:56:47] SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
[1:56:49 – 1:56:55] Adam: And it was the best decision I’ve made in, uh, you know, in my life up until that point for sure.
[1:56:56 – 1:57:02] Adam: And, uh, it’s steered the like path of the canoe ever since like going on that Quetico trip together.
[1:57:02 – 1:57:03] Adam: It’s been great.
[1:57:04 – 1:57:04] Erik: Yeah.
[1:57:04 – 1:57:12] Erik: So if there’s any bit of additional advice after 300 episodes that you haven’t gleaned from us already, find somebody that’s
[1:57:14 – 1:57:41] Erik: kind of close to being interested in doing uh a crazy thing with you and just do it yeah you just gotta say yes and uh maybe it won’t work out but yeah i guarantee it’ll probably work out those don’t get turned into podcasts though but if it does work out sky’s the limit you know there’s an unlimited amount of water to paddle in or and that’s probably the better metaphor
[1:57:41 – 1:57:43] Adam: Not everything has to turn into a podcast.
[1:57:43 – 1:57:45] Adam: There’s always more lakes to hit.
[1:57:46 – 1:57:50] Adam: And yeah, it’s always fun getting together, man.
[1:57:50 – 1:57:51] Adam: I love it.
[1:57:51 – 1:57:52] Adam: It’s always the highlight of my week.
[1:57:53 – 1:57:55] Adam: And thank you all for listening.
[1:57:55 – 1:57:57] Adam: And that’ll do it, I think.
[1:57:58 – 1:57:59] Adam: That’ll do it.
[1:58:00 – 1:58:01] Erik: That’s how we’ve ended every episode.
[1:58:01 – 1:58:06] Adam: Thank you to our Patreons, of course, for your continued support of this proud independent podcast.
[1:58:08 – 1:58:13] Adam: Thank you to all of our family and loved ones also for putting up with all the time we spend on this thing.
[1:58:13 – 1:58:16] Adam: You know, that doesn’t go unnoticed as well.
[1:58:16 – 1:58:20] Adam: So we’re very fortunate and lucky fellows in a lot of ways.
[1:58:21 – 1:58:24] Adam: As we always say on Tumble Home, life is precious.
[1:58:24 – 1:58:25] Adam: Every day is a miracle.
[1:58:26 – 1:58:28] Adam: And happy paddling.
[1:58:29 – 1:58:32] Adam: We said it in the first episode together, happy paddling.
[1:58:32 – 1:58:34] Erik: Happy paddling for sure.
[1:58:34 – 1:58:34] Erik: What’s the other one?
[1:58:34 – 1:58:36] Erik: Paisley Almodera?
[1:58:36 – 1:58:37] Erik: Tre Tastiamo.
[1:58:38 – 1:58:39] Erik: Tre Tastiamo.
[1:58:39 – 1:58:43] Adam: And thank you to Trevor, who’s stuck with us this whole time.
[1:58:44 – 1:58:46] Adam: And he’s a great kid, that Trevor.
[1:58:46 – 1:58:47] Adam: He’s so gray, though.
[1:58:49 – 1:58:51] Adam: Actually, he’s starting to get a little bit of a…
[1:58:51 – 1:58:55] Adam: It seems that there’s a glow coming back into his eye.
[1:58:55 – 1:58:58] Adam: The color is actually coming back.
[1:58:58 – 1:59:00] Adam: Something might be happening.
[1:59:01 – 1:59:02] Adam: I can feel some heat.
[1:59:02 – 1:59:03] Adam: Well, and I like it.
[1:59:04 – 1:59:09] Adam: Coming off this year.
[1:59:10 – 1:59:15] SPEAKER_02: Young Trevor awoke with dawn’s first gleam.
[1:59:17 – 1:59:19] SPEAKER_02: Race to the studio.
[1:59:26 – 1:59:31] SPEAKER_02: Unseen, unheard, a whisper in the air.
[1:59:31 – 1:59:41] SPEAKER_02: Polished all the mics till they shone without compare.
[1:59:45 – 1:59:52] SPEAKER_02: He gave his all with a heart so keen.
[1:59:54 – 2:00:00] SPEAKER_02: For that noisy jumble home apart can see.
[2:00:03 – 2:00:09] SPEAKER_02: The late, late nights, the endless grind.
[2:00:11 – 2:00:17] SPEAKER_02: Left a weary shadow in his youthful mind.
[2:00:20 – 2:00:26] SPEAKER_02: His bright eyes dimmed, his color turned to gray.
[2:00:28 – 2:00:35] SPEAKER_02: As he worked his fingers through each passing day.
[2:00:39 – 2:00:47] Erik: Trevon, Trevon, oh Trevon, don’t you fret or cry.
[2:00:47 – 2:00:56] Erik: Trevon, Trevon, oh Trevon, the drumsticks can’t be found.
[2:00:56 – 2:01:08] SPEAKER_02: Trevon, Trevon, oh Trevon, pick your sticks my friend, the journey’s just begun.
[2:01:14 – 2:01:24] SPEAKER_02: We’ll keep paddling along until the end.
[2:01:24 – 2:01:29] SPEAKER_02: Hang in there, Trevor, till 2058.
