[0:00:58 – 0:01:00] Erik: Oh my god.
[0:01:02 – 0:01:04] Erik: What was the whole deal with Garfield anyway?
[0:01:05 – 0:01:13] Erik: Wasn’t Jim Davis just looking to like capitalize on making like the most cartoonish, like I’m going to sell out as hard as possible.
[0:01:13 – 0:01:15] Erik: And so you just like invented the cat.
[0:01:16 – 0:01:20] Erik: and made the dumbest comic of all time just to sell the most merch.
[0:01:21 – 0:01:22] Adam: Is that what it was?
[0:01:22 – 0:01:22] Adam: I think, yeah.
[0:01:23 – 0:01:23] Adam: I think I’ve heard that.
[0:01:23 – 0:01:26] Adam: I thought the whole deal was that it’s funnier if you take Garfield out of it.
[0:01:27 – 0:01:29] Erik: It’s funnier if you’re… Garfield, no Garfield.
[0:01:29 – 0:01:30] Adam: Have you seen that?
[0:01:30 – 0:01:34] Adam: It’s like a whole website where they just erase Garfield from every comic.
[0:01:34 – 0:01:38] Erik: Well, that’s that person’s… Jim just talking to Woody about lasagna.
[0:01:39 – 0:01:40] Erik: Freakish.

[0:01:42 – 0:01:43] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:01:43 – 0:01:45] Adam: It’s way funnier without Garfield.

[0:09:37 – 0:09:51] Erik: So Adam has four notes on the whole movie, and that is the basis for the conversation we’re going to have later tonight, is me basically saying, I don’t like that movie, and Adam being like, but wait, Bill Murray.
[0:09:51 – 0:09:53] Erik: I’m not sure I like that movie.
[0:09:54 – 0:09:55] Erik: So tune in.
[0:09:56 – 0:09:58] Erik: I don’t think there’s any part of the movie that makes me laugh.
[0:10:01 – 0:10:01] Adam: I disagree.
[0:10:01 – 0:10:02] Adam: Okay.
[0:10:02 – 0:10:03] Adam: We’ll talk about it later.

[0:10:11 – 0:10:12] Adam: Good luck.
[0:10:13 – 0:10:17] Adam: I’m going to make Eric really uncomfortable for an hour and 25 minutes.
[0:10:18 – 0:10:19] Erik: Wow.
[0:10:20 – 0:10:23] Adam: That really makes me want to go to the theater.
[0:10:23 – 0:10:25] Erik: I mean, I’m pretty much uncomfortable for…
[0:10:27 – 0:10:31] Erik: about every waking hour of the day that I am around people.
[0:10:32 – 0:10:33] Erik: So besides you, man.
[0:10:34 – 0:10:43] Erik: So an hour and 25 minutes of you making me uncomfortable would be, that does sound like a nightmare because I am in my safe space here drinking.
[0:10:43 – 0:10:45] Adam: Don’t worry, you’re in the shed with a Latrobe.
[0:10:45 – 0:10:45] Erik: Yep.
[0:10:46 – 0:10:50] Erik: Glass lined tanks of old Latrobe.
[0:10:51 – 0:10:54] Adam: Bet you never thought I was going to hand you a rolling rock when you got here.
[0:10:54 – 0:10:56] Adam: No, I did not expect that.
[0:10:56 – 0:10:59] Adam: You never know when you ever know what’s going to happen next year in the shed.

[0:11:14 – 0:11:16] Adam: It’s up by the retaining pond on the beach, actually.
[0:11:17 – 0:11:19] Erik: It’s actually a shipping container.

[0:11:26 – 0:11:28] Adam: No, the shed’s just at my house.
[0:11:28 – 0:11:29] Adam: It’s a state of mind.
[0:11:29 – 0:11:30] Adam: It is more of a state of mind, though.
[0:11:31 – 0:11:32] Adam: Kind of like Latrobe.
[0:11:32 – 0:11:34] Erik: Kind of like those glass-lined tanks.
[0:11:35 – 0:11:37] Adam: I like that it just says in quotes, 33 on the back.
[0:11:37 – 0:11:39] Adam: Because you know me, I like my double numbers.

[0:13:38 – 0:13:39] Erik: They’re still Festival Foods?
[0:13:40 – 0:13:41] Adam: Somewhere.
[0:13:41 – 0:13:42] Adam: Somewhere out there.
[0:13:42 – 0:13:42] Erik: Wow.
[0:13:43 – 0:13:45] Adam: Where’s your nearest Festival Foods?
[0:13:45 – 0:13:46] Adam: It’s out by the shed.
[0:13:47 – 0:13:54] Adam: This came in from Kyle and Liz, and that was in July 15th, 2025.
[0:13:54 – 0:13:55] Erik: Year of our Lord.
[0:13:55 – 0:13:59] Adam: The year of our Lord, dear Jesus Festival Foods.
[0:14:00 – 0:14:01] Erik: Jesus Festival Cristo.
[0:14:03 – 0:14:08] Adam: Do you want to tear into the cheese pack first, or do you want to tear into the paper bag?
[0:14:08 – 0:14:09] Adam: Why don’t you…
[0:14:09 – 0:14:12] Erik: I’m not really planning on eating any of this cheese right now, but…
[0:14:12 – 0:14:14] Adam: That’s what this episode is, actually.
[0:14:14 – 0:14:15] Adam: It’s just a cheese tasting.
[0:14:15 – 0:14:16] Erik: It’s just going to be us eating cheese.
[0:14:16 – 0:14:18] Erik: We’ve got some fire-breathing peppers.
[0:14:19 – 0:14:19] Erik: Hennings.
[0:14:19 – 0:14:21] Erik: We’ve had Hennings before.

[0:14:41 – 0:14:42] Adam: Holy shit.
[0:14:42 – 0:14:42] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:14:42 – 0:14:43] Adam: We’re keeping that one.
[0:14:44 – 0:14:46] Adam: This dragon is very lifelike.

[0:14:56 – 0:14:57] Erik: Four generations since 1914.
[0:14:57 – 0:14:59] Erik: This is a slight jalapeno kick.
[0:14:59 – 0:15:01] Erik: That’s a big block of cheese there.
[0:15:01 – 0:15:02] Adam: That’s like a baby loaf here.
[0:15:03 – 0:15:03] Adam: Yeah.
[0:15:03 – 0:15:05] Adam: That’s what we call in the industry a baby loaf.
[0:15:05 – 0:15:06] Erik: We’re going four for four.
[0:15:06 – 0:15:10] Erik: We’ve got another Henning’s maple bourbon.
[0:15:10 – 0:15:14] Erik: Hints of maple, caramel, caramel, or molasses?

[0:15:29 – 0:15:32] Adam: The Crypt Keeper’s coming for his nut salad.
[0:15:34 – 0:15:38] Erik: And sweet potatoes and ham sliders.
[0:15:39 – 0:15:42] Erik: None of the options besides pancakes sound that interesting.
[0:15:42 – 0:15:44] Adam: You don’t want to put it in a sweet potato?
[0:15:45 – 0:15:47] Erik: Sweet potato and ham sliders.
[0:15:47 – 0:15:48] Adam: Oh, it’s one thing.
[0:15:49 – 0:15:49] Erik: Yeah.

[0:20:50 – 0:20:53] Adam: Stay tumble, Kyle and Liz.
[0:20:55 – 0:20:57] Adam: from the eastern area of the Driftless.
[0:20:57 – 0:20:58] Adam: There we go.
[0:20:59 – 0:21:00] Adam: Who’s that one from?
[0:21:00 – 0:21:02] Adam: You’ve got to rip that one down.
[0:21:02 – 0:21:03] Adam: So we do have a Congaree National.
[0:21:03 – 0:21:07] Adam: It’s actually one of the few things that is hung up in the studio.
[0:21:08 – 0:21:18] Adam: It’s up there right next to the A-10 formation, Warthogs in Formation, and the Jack Nicklaus portrait over on Eric’s side of the table.
[0:21:18 – 0:21:20] Erik: I think it does say Liz.
[0:21:21 – 0:21:21] Adam: For real?
[0:21:22 – 0:21:22] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:22 – 0:21:24] Adam: They always use the Congaree.
[0:21:24 – 0:21:26] Erik: It’s their go-to postcard.
[0:21:26 – 0:21:27] Adam: All right, hang this one up next to that one.
[0:21:30 – 0:21:35] Adam: This is a very lucrative loot grab here from the Congaree.
[0:21:36 – 0:21:38] Adam: There you go.
[0:21:38 – 0:21:38] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:39 – 0:21:40] Adam: Double six-packs.
[0:21:40 – 0:21:43] Adam: This tinsel must be worth at least $20 alone.
[0:21:44 – 0:21:46] Erik: The handwriting is different for sure, but…
[0:21:48 – 0:21:51] Adam: Well, maybe that one was from Liz and this one’s more from Kyle.
[0:21:51 – 0:21:52] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:21:54 – 0:21:55] Adam: Kyle signed this one first.
[0:21:56 – 0:21:58] Erik: The first one also came with the fly.
[0:21:58 – 0:21:58] Erik: Yeah.
[0:22:02 – 0:22:03] Adam: I see it attached to it, yeah.
[0:22:03 – 0:22:04] Erik: I see it.
[0:22:05 – 0:22:06] Erik: Double Congaree.
[0:22:07 – 0:22:08] Adam: It’s getting freaky out here.
[0:22:09 – 0:22:14] Erik: The small Andy Dufresne rock hammer out to nail that nail back in.
[0:22:17 – 0:22:18] Erik: Wow.
[0:22:18 – 0:22:19] Erik: What a bounty.
[0:22:20 – 0:22:24] Erik: What an abundance of… My God.
[0:22:26 – 0:22:32] Erik: Just pure friendship energy in the form of beer and cheese.
[0:22:33 – 0:22:35] Adam: I do feel like I’m back in Wisconsin right now.
[0:22:36 – 0:22:37] Adam: It’s feeling pretty good.
[0:22:37 – 0:22:38] Erik: Yeah.
[0:22:38 – 0:22:41] Erik: I wouldn’t know what that feeling is like, but I can imagine.
[0:22:41 – 0:22:41] Adam: You’ve been.
[0:22:42 – 0:22:43] Adam: I’m not from there, though.
[0:22:43 – 0:22:45] Adam: Yeah, you’ve still been, though.
[0:22:46 – 0:22:46] Erik: I have been.
[0:22:47 – 0:22:48] Adam: I am going back.
[0:22:50 – 0:22:50] Adam: Again?
[0:22:50 – 0:22:53] Erik: Wisconsin has not been canceled yet.
[0:22:56 – 0:22:57] Erik: You got some show notes there?
[0:22:57 – 0:23:00] Erik: What are we talking about tonight?
[0:23:01 – 0:23:04] Adam: I recorded the season finale of Wave Station today.
[0:23:07 – 0:23:09] Erik: Can you spoil it for me or do you want to leave it?
[0:23:09 – 0:23:10] Adam: Yeah, I’ll spoil it for you.
[0:23:11 – 0:23:13] Adam: I didn’t catch any trout or steelhead.
[0:23:13 – 0:23:18] Adam: Spoiler.
[0:23:18 – 0:23:18] Adam: 28 episodes.
[0:23:19 – 0:23:20] Adam: 1,000 casts?
[0:23:20 – 0:23:22] Adam: I got over 1,000 casts, yeah.
[0:23:23 – 0:23:24] Adam: Just barely.
[0:23:25 – 0:23:28] Adam: My original goal was 2,222 casts.
[0:23:28 – 0:23:31] Erik: Don’t they say that a muskie is the fish of 1,000 casts?
[0:23:31 – 0:23:32] Adam: 10,000, I think.
[0:23:32 – 0:23:33] Adam: Oh, wow.
[0:23:33 – 0:23:35] Adam: So, yeah, it’s going to take a couple years probably.
[0:23:36 – 0:23:38] Erik: Well, yeah, I guess it depends on whenever you catch it.
[0:23:38 – 0:23:45] Erik: That is the steelhead is the fish of however many, whether it’s over 10,000 or somewhere in between.
[0:23:45 – 0:23:52] Adam: I was fishing a lot for steelhead and then I was just casting like spoons into the big lake a lot on my paid lunch breaks.
[0:23:53 – 0:24:02] Adam: And yeah, I did manage to get over a thousand casts, but not even like Natalie’s dad was like, have you even had a nibble or anything?
[0:24:02 – 0:24:03] Adam: I was like, not even a goddamn nibble.
[0:24:04 – 0:24:13] Adam: I didn’t snag up a couple times and lose spoons to the bottom trying to like be crafty and let it sink down a little bit, you know.
[0:24:13 – 0:24:39] Adam: bouncing off those smooth superior rocks somehow you snagged on them i’m only using like a single hook too and i still somehow managed to snag up a few times but yeah no real nibbles or bites the entire year i know there’s fish out there but um whatever i’m doing it’s not the key it’s not the ticket to fish town um i mainly am like fishing in the middle of the day and i really think that the ticket is like you got to be there on sunrise or like sunset
[0:24:40 – 0:24:40] Adam: Early.
[0:24:41 – 0:24:41] Adam: Or late.
[0:24:42 – 0:24:42] Adam: Yeah.
[0:24:42 – 0:24:47] Adam: You don’t want to be there in the middle of the day where there’s like a thousand tourists crawling all over the beach.
[0:24:47 – 0:24:47] Erik: Sure.
[0:24:49 – 0:24:49] Adam: But I don’t know.
[0:24:50 – 0:24:50] Adam: I had a lot of fun.
[0:24:50 – 0:24:53] Adam: And honestly, I didn’t really expect to catch a fish.
[0:24:53 – 0:24:59] Adam: I just wanted a good excuse to go out on the beach and watch the waves.
[0:24:59 – 0:25:05] Adam: I had a fun time making the show and learning how to do little video edits.
[0:25:05 – 0:25:09] Adam: So yeah, by the time this podcast is out, the final episode will have been released.
[0:25:09 – 0:25:12] Adam: And that’s the end of Season 1 for Wave Station.
[0:25:12 – 0:25:13] Adam: Will it be back?
[0:25:13 – 0:25:13] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:25:14 – 0:25:14] Adam: Probably.
[0:25:15 – 0:25:32] Adam: why not why not but lake chart season closes on sunday actually uh today if you’re listening live and uh but i’m not going down there on sunday i got other plans the fifth of october yeah and then after that you can still fish for other stuff though
[0:25:33 – 0:25:35] Adam: I guess if you catch a lake trout, you just have to throw it back.
[0:25:35 – 0:25:36] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:38] Erik: Like flying fish and tuna?
[0:25:38 – 0:25:42] Adam: No, I’m shooting for a coho and steelhead.
[0:25:43 – 0:25:45] Adam: Because steelhead’s always open for catch and release.
[0:25:45 – 0:25:46] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:25:47 – 0:25:49] Adam: I guess you can just cast your own, but…
[0:25:49 – 0:25:52] Erik: It’s like ice fishing bearskin before trout opener saying you’re fishing for smallies.
[0:25:52 – 0:25:53] Adam: I’m fishing for smallies, yeah.
[0:25:54 – 0:25:55] Adam: This doesn’t seem sporting.
[0:25:55 – 0:26:00] Adam: So anyways, I’m done trying to cast for now.
[0:26:00 – 0:26:09] Adam: But there was many times where I was casting and I honestly felt like I was like a cast away from actually catching something because it looks so good.
[0:26:09 – 0:26:11] Adam: Like the wind’s perfect or whatever.
[0:26:11 – 0:26:13] Adam: Like you can see it’s just a good looking spot.
[0:26:13 – 0:26:15] Adam: There should be fish swimming out there.
[0:26:16 – 0:26:17] Adam: I was thinking about it like this.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:19] Adam: Do you need more egg sacks?
[0:26:20 – 0:26:23] Adam: Yeah, I did try a lot of those, especially early in the spring.
[0:26:23 – 0:26:25] Adam: I definitely had the egg sacks.
[0:26:29 – 0:26:53] Adam: i don’t know i think i’m sure i’ve told you this before but like i always wonder um because i’m convinced that there are i’m not convinced i just know that there are mountain lion up here and i’ve always wondered like have ever been on a portage with a canoe on top where there was like a mountain lion up in the tree like watching me go by and i just never saw it because there’s a canoe on top does this make sense what i’m saying
[0:26:53 – 0:26:55] Erik: No, I know what you’re saying, but I don’t know.
[0:26:55 – 0:26:56] Adam: Maybe you can just say whatever.
[0:26:57 – 0:27:02] Adam: Have I ever been on a portage and a wolf watched me walk by and I just never saw the wolf or whatever?
[0:27:03 – 0:27:05] Erik: I can almost guarantee that that’s happened.
[0:27:06 – 0:27:06] Adam: Right.
[0:27:07 – 0:27:08] Erik: The puma up in a tree, though?
[0:27:10 – 0:27:28] Erik: that one i find a little bit harder to believe i know that i i do believe that there are big cats up here i know there are i know people that have seen them say a lynx is up in a tree and watch me go by from a tree i don’t know maybe a lynx i just don’t think any of those bigger ones anything with a long tail i don’t know take a pretty special tree for that thing to be way up in
[0:27:29 – 0:27:31] Adam: Anyways, that’s just the kind of thing I like to think about.
[0:27:32 – 0:27:35] Erik: All of the fish watching the lures go by?
[0:27:35 – 0:27:42] Adam: Yeah, we’ve talked about draining the lake before, and I was thinking about it in these terms of like, yeah, I did throw 1,000 casts into the big lake.
[0:27:43 – 0:27:46] Adam: What was the closest fish got to that lure?
[0:27:46 – 0:27:51] Adam: Did it even have a fish ever follow it for a little bit and even look at it once?
[0:27:52 – 0:28:08] Adam: yeah or is it just truly like the lake is too big and i was never deep enough and it was the middle of the day and there was never even a fish near me or was there like multiple chances where like a fish almost looked at it you know just underwater daytime crickets the whole time yeah
[0:28:10 – 0:28:10] Erik: No, no.
[0:28:11 – 0:28:11] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:28:12 – 0:28:15] Adam: I mean, I really did pepper the hell out of that East Bay, especially.
[0:28:15 – 0:28:21] Adam: And a lot of Artist Point casting and Artist Point in particular looks very good.
[0:28:22 – 0:28:31] Adam: And if you look at it from a satellite view, the crevasse and like rocky craggage, it’s deep water right off it in almost every direction.
[0:28:31 – 0:28:33] Erik: We got to get back out in the canoe and go fish five mile rock.
[0:28:33 – 0:28:37] Adam: It looks so good out there, but I just find it hard to believe.
[0:28:37 – 0:28:40] Adam: And I know for a fact people have caught fish out there.
[0:28:40 – 0:28:45] Adam: So, I mean, I know when I’m out there that I have a very low chance of actually hooking up.
[0:28:45 – 0:28:49] Adam: But I also know for a fact that there’s fish out there and people have caught fish doing that.
[0:28:50 – 0:28:53] Adam: And if I just keep going, it’s only a matter of time, right?
[0:28:55 – 0:28:59] Adam: You wouldn’t want to be the guy who just quits now and is like, I’m done with this.
[0:28:59 – 0:29:00] Adam: This is silly.
[0:29:01 – 0:29:05] Adam: But the next time you would have went would have been the time you caught the fish.
[0:29:05 – 0:29:05] Adam: Sure.
[0:29:05 – 0:29:06] Adam: Got to keep trying.
[0:29:06 – 0:29:08] Adam: Plus, I mean, whatever.
[0:29:08 – 0:29:10] Adam: It’s always fun to just go out and go for a hike and
[0:29:10 – 0:29:13] Erik: It’s also like the gambler’s mantra, though, too.
[0:29:13 – 0:29:14] Erik: Exactly, yeah.
[0:29:14 – 0:29:15] Adam: Next time.
[0:29:15 – 0:29:16] Adam: I’ll get them next time.
[0:29:16 – 0:29:26] Erik: I’m only down $10,000, but next time I’m going to make it all back, and that one win is going to make up for all the lost money and time.
[0:29:27 – 0:29:29] Erik: I made $300 this trip to the casino.
[0:29:30 – 0:29:32] Erik: Well, yeah, what’s your lifetime, though?
[0:29:32 – 0:29:36] Erik: Well, I’m down $15,000, but this last time…
[0:29:37 – 0:29:37] Erik: Big score.
[0:29:38 – 0:29:39] Erik: Big timers.
[0:29:39 – 0:29:40] Erik: Big time.
[0:29:40 – 0:29:45] Erik: I was at Grand Portage Lodge and Casino last week.
[0:29:46 – 0:29:47] Erik: You actually stopped in the lodge?
[0:29:48 – 0:29:50] Erik: Yeah, the casino is just as sad as ever.
[0:29:51 – 0:29:52] Erik: It’s all slots.
[0:29:52 – 0:29:53] Erik: Brittany’s gone.
[0:29:53 – 0:29:54] Erik: I didn’t see her anywhere.
[0:29:54 – 0:29:55] Adam: What about the big Lebowski slot?
[0:29:56 – 0:29:56] Adam: No.
[0:29:56 – 0:30:01] Adam: What do you think happens to old slot machines when they get retired from Grand Portage?
[0:30:01 – 0:30:03] Erik: Just take them out back and shoot them.
[0:30:03 – 0:30:04] Adam: They got a warehouse.
[0:30:05 – 0:30:07] Erik: Baseball bat and then they get buried in a cornfield somewhere.
[0:30:07 – 0:30:08] Erik: Just blast them.
[0:30:08 – 0:30:16] Erik: All the coins start falling out the back.
[0:30:16 – 0:30:18] Adam: Hit me, baby, one more time.
[0:30:18 – 0:30:20] Erik: One more time.
[0:30:22 – 0:30:24] Erik: That’s the end of that one.
[0:30:25 – 0:30:26] Erik: Is that the end of this episode?
[0:30:27 – 0:30:30] Erik: Slow Britney Spears chip tune?
[0:30:30 – 0:30:33] Adam: You can’t find…
[0:30:33 – 0:30:36] Erik: I need you to find the slowest version of toxic.
[0:30:39 – 0:30:58] Erik: that you can get a chiptunes toxic would be the best way for this show to end i’ll just yeah i can just get chiptune toxic and then slow it way down just slow it way down put it down three beats yeah go that’s you just and then yeah that is the soundtrack to a casino being put down in the uh the bay of
[0:30:59 – 0:31:24] Adam: grand portage there’s a trouble feeling inside these are feelings that i can’t hide it’s not possible to slow it down as much as i need to no you can’t the human can’t possibly comprehend how slow it needs to be actually they’re going three times slow
[0:31:24 – 0:31:27] Adam: We’re going to need Trevor to run it through the slow filter three times.
[0:31:27 – 0:31:29] Adam: It’s like the opposite of the levelator.
[0:31:29 – 0:31:30] Adam: Exactly.
[0:31:30 – 0:31:31] Adam: Slow it down again.
[0:31:31 – 0:31:32] Adam: No, again.
[0:31:32 – 0:31:34] Erik: Enhance.
[0:31:34 – 0:31:34] Erik: Enhance.
[0:31:35 – 0:31:36] Adam: What did you end up playing?
[0:31:36 – 0:31:37] Erik: I didn’t play anything.
[0:31:37 – 0:31:40] Erik: I wasn’t there to play slots.
[0:31:41 – 0:31:51] Erik: I was there to meet a band member so that I could go and visit the Spirit Tree, formerly known as the Redacted.
[0:31:52 – 0:31:53] Erik: Which tree?
[0:31:53 – 0:31:54] Adam: It’s the spirit tree.
[0:31:54 – 0:31:55] Erik: Redacted again.
[0:31:56 – 0:31:57] Erik: You can’t say it.
[0:31:58 – 0:32:08] Erik: But yeah, you can no longer as a general public, we got public, go and visit the tree.
[0:32:08 – 0:32:12] Adam: I was under the impression that general public was never allowed to visit the tree.
[0:32:13 – 0:32:15] Erik: Oh, I think that the – Was it open?
[0:32:15 – 0:32:20] Erik: The sense I got from the small tour – I wouldn’t even call it a tour.
[0:32:20 – 0:32:30] Erik: It was just we were met, me and my family that went to go and visit the tree and place an offering and spend some time.
[0:32:30 – 0:32:31] Erik: Yeah.
[0:32:32 – 0:32:47] Erik: It sounded like they had gotten to a point where they had to like remove signage and like make it more of like an appointment only thing because people were like kind of trying to like take souvenirs for themselves or something.
[0:32:48 – 0:32:48] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:32:48 – 0:32:50] Erik: You mean like stealing branches off it?
[0:32:50 – 0:32:52] Erik: I don’t know, maybe chipping off a chunk of bark.
[0:32:52 – 0:32:53] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:32:53 – 0:32:54] Erik: I don’t like that.
[0:32:54 – 0:33:02] Erik: Or clambering down to get right up next to it and take lewd, unsavory photos.
[0:33:02 – 0:33:03] Erik: I have no idea.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:12] Erik: But the sense I got is it has now since become a place that you, whether you like it or not, need to…
[0:33:14 – 0:33:15] Erik: not even really higher.
[0:33:15 – 0:33:24] Erik: You just need to contact the Grand Portage band and secure a chaperone to take you to the tree.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:36] Adam: Yeah, somebody did tell me that, like, the hiking club does, like, a couple of hikes in there every year, and they must have a, you know, a guide or something.
[0:33:36 – 0:33:38] Erik: I mean, there is a sign, like, right away that says, like,
[0:33:39 – 0:33:44] Adam: You need to be accompanied by a chaperone to be going down this trail.
[0:33:45 – 0:33:45] Adam: Oh.
[0:33:46 – 0:33:49] Erik: Which, sure, yeah, you could see that.
[0:33:50 – 0:33:50] Erik: I mean, anybody…
[0:33:50 – 0:33:51] Erik: I mean, it’s not…
[0:33:53 – 0:33:57] Erik: Super clandestine, but it’s also not marked or anything.
[0:33:57 – 0:34:00] Adam: I’ve been living here a long time, and I have no idea.
[0:34:00 – 0:34:07] Adam: I have a general idea of where it would be, but if you told me to drive there right now, I wouldn’t know how to find the trailhead.
[0:34:07 – 0:34:09] Erik: Yeah, no, it’s not obvious, and I like it that way.
[0:34:10 – 0:34:20] Erik: And I do like the signage, which is not produced by the national park.
[0:34:20 – 0:34:21] Erik: It’s not one of those brown signs.
[0:34:21 – 0:34:22] Erik: It’s hand-painted.
[0:34:22 – 0:34:23] Adam: Brown with yellow lettering.
[0:34:23 – 0:34:25] Erik: Yeah, no, it’s like hand painted.
[0:34:26 – 0:34:33] Erik: So I think if I saw that and I was walking down a trail, I would be like, yeah, probably, I’m just going to probably turn around.
[0:34:33 – 0:34:43] Erik: But there’s, I’m sure if you want to be a real derelict, you know, dirt, I was going to say dirty dad bod, but dirt bag.
[0:34:43 – 0:35:10] Adam: dirty dad bod’s the purest of hearts i know he is you could just walk right by that and you know go down and see it yourself one time i went down a trail and i just found like half of a orange peel on the ground and i was like no i’m weirded out i’m turning around i’m not going down this yeah so if you were to see this sign you probably i would definitely turn around for a sign that said don’t go down here but like yeah all i need to see is some little sign of anybody and i’m like no way i’m not going down this trail
[0:35:11 – 0:35:18] Erik: Yeah, it was kind of an odd situation to begin with because, like I said, we started at the casino.
[0:35:18 – 0:35:29] Erik: You had to meet this member of the tribe who’s been designated as one of the people who can take you out to the Spirit Tree.
[0:35:30 – 0:35:34] Erik: And, you know, you’re just sitting in the lobby of a casino and it’s like… That’s where you meet?
[0:35:35 – 0:35:37] Erik: That’s where we decided to meet.
[0:35:37 – 0:35:40] Erik: I wasn’t the head of the decision making.
[0:35:40 – 0:35:42] Adam: Are you paying this person to walk you in there?
[0:35:42 – 0:35:43] Adam: I don’t think you didn’t have to.
[0:35:43 – 0:35:45] Adam: We should.
[0:35:45 – 0:35:45] Adam: If you didn’t want to.
[0:35:46 – 0:35:46] Adam: But we did.
[0:35:46 – 0:35:49] Erik: There was a tip involved, if that’s what you want to call it.
[0:35:50 – 0:35:51] Erik: Gratuity.
[0:35:51 – 0:35:51] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:53 – 0:35:57] Erik: But just the fact that we’re sitting in an Indian casino.
[0:35:57 – 0:35:59] Adam: You didn’t go play the slots.
[0:35:59 – 0:36:04] Erik: I’m not saying that out of the truth of my heart.
[0:36:04 – 0:36:06] Erik: That’s literally what people call those places.
[0:36:07 – 0:36:13] Erik: And waiting to go and see a spiritual monument is kind of like a really weird…
[0:36:15 – 0:36:35] Erik: thing could be any more different from a casino thing to wrap your head around while you’re sitting there waiting you’re like i don’t know do i even want to do this this is nothing about this feels right and then like they were they were kind of running late and i was just like i don’t know i might just bail i was like i might just like i might just hang back i might play slots
[0:36:35 – 0:36:40] Erik: There’s like a line of old people waiting to get into the buffet behind me.
[0:36:40 – 0:36:43] Adam: Oh, they got a prime rib buffet?
[0:36:43 – 0:36:44] Erik: Yeah, it was the prime rib night.
[0:36:45 – 0:36:45] Erik: Oh, really?
[0:36:45 – 0:36:47] Erik: Not prime rib and seafood, just prime rib.
[0:36:48 – 0:36:49] Erik: Prime rib and seafood Saturday.
[0:36:49 – 0:36:50] Erik: We were there on a Thursday.
[0:36:50 – 0:36:52] Adam: How much prime rib did you eat?
[0:36:52 – 0:36:55] Adam: Three plate.
[0:36:57 – 0:36:57] Erik: Two plate.
[0:36:57 – 0:36:59] Erik: I don’t know if it was all you can eat.
[0:36:59 – 0:37:01] Erik: I think it was just a slice for like 17 bucks.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:05] Erik: A slice of rib.
[0:37:05 – 0:37:06] Adam: A slice.
[0:37:06 – 0:37:07] Adam: No way.
[0:37:07 – 0:37:08] Erik: So it kind of started rough though.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:09] Erik: I was like, I don’t know.
[0:37:09 – 0:37:10] Erik: Yeah.
[0:37:10 – 0:37:15] Erik: This isn’t my idea of like, I don’t know.
[0:37:15 – 0:37:22] Erik: I don’t know what I was expecting, but it didn’t start in a way that I was like super excited about.
[0:37:22 – 0:37:25] Adam: I was a little surly about the whole start of the thing.
[0:37:25 – 0:37:25] Adam: Yeah.
[0:37:26 – 0:37:30] Erik: And then we’re like, oh, you got to just follow me there.
[0:37:30 – 0:37:31] Erik: We’re just driving to wherever.
[0:37:31 – 0:37:32] Erik: Just follow me.
[0:37:32 – 0:37:41] Erik: I’m just like, all right, I guess I’m driving and we’re following this person to the start of the trail to go see the witch tree, whatever.
[0:37:42 – 0:37:44] Erik: And I was like… Redacted.
[0:37:45 – 0:37:46] Erik: Yeah, redacted.
[0:37:46 – 0:37:47] Erik: It’s a spirit tree.
[0:37:48 – 0:37:54] Erik: You learned real quick that it is no longer referred to as the witch tree for obvious reasons.
[0:37:55 – 0:38:06] Erik: And almost immediately upon hitting that trail, though, just the overall aura and vibes of the woods that that trail is in
[0:38:08 – 0:38:12] Erik: And I’ve been on a lot of trails in my life, but on a lot of portages.
[0:38:14 – 0:38:15] Erik: There was a feeling to it, though.
[0:38:15 – 0:38:16] Erik: Like, I swear.
[0:38:16 – 0:38:19] Erik: And I’m not 300 plus episodes in.
[0:38:19 – 0:38:25] Erik: I think you all know I’m not like a huge proponent of like woo-woo shit or whatever.
[0:38:26 – 0:38:28] Erik: Whatever you want to call it.
[0:38:28 – 0:38:31] Erik: That might be offensive to the woo-woo folks out there.
[0:38:32 – 0:38:33] Adam: We all know you secretly like it.
[0:38:35 – 0:38:37] Erik: Well, when it’s real, I do like it.
[0:38:38 – 0:38:38] Adam: It always is.
[0:38:39 – 0:38:45] Erik: And I know you always tell me that I got to keep my antennas and my tendrils open to these things.
[0:38:45 – 0:38:53] Erik: And I think if it wants to be realized, it’s going to have to fight its way through the blockade that is my brain.
[0:38:53 – 0:38:56] Adam: Yeah, it sounds like this trail maybe forced your antennas to focus.
[0:38:56 – 0:38:58] Erik: It did, and it absolutely did.
[0:38:59 – 0:39:00] Adam: That’s some serious power.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:06] Erik: Yeah, the acoustics in there, the smell, the feeling, the just…
[0:39:06 – 0:39:09] Erik: I mean, even if none of those things were open, just the overall like…
[0:39:10 – 0:39:20] Erik: look of the trail and the way that it like kind of dives in between these huge, like cavernous, like rocky sides that are all mossy and green.
[0:39:21 – 0:39:29] Erik: And then you end up down at like a little, like a platform that you would see at like a national park somewhere where you’re like, Ooh, look at the view.
[0:39:29 – 0:39:31] Erik: We can stand here at the platform and look at the view.
[0:39:32 – 0:39:33] Erik: And I was like, Oh wow.
[0:39:33 – 0:39:34] Erik: There’s the tree.
[0:39:34 – 0:39:35] Erik: That’s kind of cool.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:37] Adam: Oh, it’s right there.
[0:39:37 – 0:39:37] Erik: It’s not.
[0:39:38 – 0:39:39] Erik: It’s not really right there.
[0:39:39 – 0:39:40] Erik: It’s like kind of far away still.
[0:39:41 – 0:39:42] Erik: I was like, well, all right.
[0:39:43 – 0:39:44] Erik: So we’ll stand here for a little bit.
[0:39:44 – 0:39:49] Erik: And we were kind of getting a little bit of the how old it is and some back and forth stories.
[0:39:49 – 0:39:53] Erik: And then the guy that we were out there with who was showing us the way it was like.
[0:39:54 – 0:39:55] Erik: Usually I don’t do this.
[0:39:56 – 0:39:57] Erik: And he probably just says this to everybody.
[0:39:57 – 0:39:58] Erik: I know how guides work.
[0:39:59 – 0:39:59] Erik: Right, right.
[0:39:59 – 0:40:02] Erik: He’s like, well, we can hop over and get a little closer if you want.
[0:40:03 – 0:40:09] Erik: And so we hopped a little over the little like platform and actually were able to like walk down right next to it.
[0:40:09 – 0:40:10] Erik: And that’s when I was like.
[0:40:13 – 0:40:30] Erik: truly mesmerizing the the size of this thing it is like a 400 plus year old cedar tree seemingly growing out of just rock straight up rock the base of it is maybe i don’t know two feet two foot diameter
[0:40:31 – 0:40:32] Erik: Wow.
[0:40:32 – 0:40:32] Erik: Pretty big.
[0:40:32 – 0:40:35] Erik: I was picturing it being tiny.
[0:40:36 – 0:40:39] Erik: I mean, for that age of a tree, it is tiny.
[0:40:39 – 0:40:40] Erik: But yeah, I was too.
[0:40:40 – 0:40:42] Adam: I’ve always pictured it as very small.
[0:40:42 – 0:40:44] Adam: It’s really old, but it’s small.
[0:40:44 – 0:40:45] Adam: No, it’s like, I don’t know.
[0:40:45 – 0:40:46] Adam: It’s huge, huh?
[0:40:46 – 0:40:47] Erik: It’s like 15, 20 feet high.
[0:40:49 – 0:40:51] Adam: Yeah, that’s big.
[0:40:51 – 0:40:55] Erik: Yeah, and it’s just coming out of like rock right next to the lake.
[0:40:56 – 0:41:06] Erik: And the other thing that was like surprising to me, and it could have just been the way that the wind was coming that day, but there was like three mini little thunder holes next to it, which was super weird.
[0:41:06 – 0:41:07] Erik: What?
[0:41:07 – 0:41:10] Erik: Yeah, like one was very like…
[0:41:11 – 0:41:37] Erik: like doing this crazy like popping in like every wave and then there was two smaller ones like off to the side and it was under holes the whole like rock shoreline it wasn’t like a place that you could ever be like hey let’s camp here but it was also very easy to like walk around yeah it was like this perfect like four to eight foot like shelf up from the lake and all very flat perfectly flat just right next to this tree
[0:41:39 – 0:41:57] Erik: and the fact that the like that tree has survived what sounds like was essentially like a full-blown like clear cut of that in the entire tip of the arrowhead like was down to like there’s pictures like in that visitor center that you can see where it’s just like
[0:41:58 – 0:42:20] Erik: barren hills they down to the dirt they cut all the trees down and that tree survived all of that predates the grant like it basically probably started growing like even before they were doing like the grand portage and the fur trading and all that oh yeah like as a seedling something along those lines
[0:42:20 – 0:42:21] Erik: And the fact that there are still…
[0:42:22 – 0:42:25] Erik: It doesn’t seem like it’s thriving, but it’s not dead either.
[0:42:25 – 0:42:26] Erik: Like, there are green…
[0:42:27 – 0:42:28] Erik: There’s needles on…
[0:42:28 – 0:42:28] Erik: There’s…
[0:42:30 – 0:42:52] Erik: leaf there are there’s leaves yeah there are cedar whatever you want to call those cedar things they’re not needles they’re not needles they’re not leaves they’re not leaves little flat cypress hand little cypress hands their hands that they put out um there’s still a good amount of them it’s still somehow i mean i know there’s probably a ton of water
[0:42:53 – 0:43:11] Erik: just from being that close to the lake that’s you know helping it yeah the roots have to be down like in the lake they have to be they have to be i like that a lot no um yeah and there were multiple moments of you know just people not talking and just kind of
[0:43:12 – 0:43:28] Erik: painting the picture in your mind of how long a tree like that has been around, who’s paddled by it, everything that’s come along with the people who find, um,
[0:43:30 – 0:43:54] Erik: solace in it and the fact that it is referred to as the spirit tree there was a lot of offerings in different forms can you paddle to it oh sure i mean depending on where you would want to put in you could paddle around and go and see it i don’t know what could you do in a canoe or is that like rough rough waters out there i don’t know like could be it’s like superior yeah of course yeah i mean
[0:43:55 – 0:43:56] Adam: What’s the trail like?
[0:43:56 – 0:43:58] Adam: You said it has great ambience.
[0:43:58 – 0:44:00] Adam: Is it a pretty nice trail, or is it rough?
[0:44:00 – 0:44:03] Erik: The footing is really nice, and the woods is like…
[0:44:03 – 0:44:03] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:44:03 – 0:44:07] Erik: I think it has a lot to do with the way that the trail has been cut out.
[0:44:09 – 0:44:11] Erik: It’s very much like a canopy, like a tunnel.
[0:44:12 – 0:44:15] Erik: It’s basically just what needs to be cut out.
[0:44:16 – 0:44:16] Erik: It’s not like…
[0:44:17 – 0:44:33] Erik: brushed back yeah it’s just like this perfect little like shoot through the woods and that also probably helps with like the acoustics like something about like it just kind of like dampens the sound for like the first half of the trail you’re in there it’s just like
[0:44:35 – 0:44:41] Erik: It was a pretty windy day, and when we got in there, it was just down to dead calm.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:44] Erik: Get that fall smell.
[0:44:45 – 0:44:46] Erik: It was a nice afternoon.
[0:44:46 – 0:44:48] Erik: Sun was out.
[0:44:50 – 0:44:50] Erik: Yeah, it was just…
[0:44:50 – 0:44:51] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:44:51 – 0:44:52] Erik: It was just one of those things.
[0:44:52 – 0:44:53] Erik: You couldn’t really…
[0:44:55 – 0:45:05] Erik: I don’t know if I, if I really sat down, I’m sure I could probably put a little bit more, uh, pen to paper reflection on it, but it was, uh, it was a feeling for sure.
[0:45:06 – 0:45:17] Erik: Very happy that after all things were said and done with the whole waiting at the casino to be able to go out there and, uh, how many slabs of prime rib did you lay down after we got back?
[0:45:17 – 0:45:18] Adam: No, in front of the tree.
[0:45:20 – 0:45:20] Adam: Yeah.
[0:45:20 – 0:45:24] Erik: That was my offering is a piece of casino prime rib.
[0:45:25 – 0:45:27] Adam: Yeah, that’s what I would have brought.
[0:45:27 – 0:45:29] Erik: Yeah, just right off the platter.
[0:45:30 – 0:45:32] Adam: Yeah, cut me a big slab.
[0:45:32 – 0:45:33] Adam: I’m taking it out to the tree.
[0:45:33 – 0:45:38] Adam: They’d be like, sir, you’re not allowed to do that.
[0:45:38 – 0:45:40] Erik: Still hot out there?
[0:45:40 – 0:45:42] Adam: The tree is a vegetarian.
[0:45:44 – 0:45:44] Erik: All right.
[0:45:46 – 0:45:48] Adam: It’s got its fingers in the lake, though.
[0:45:48 – 0:45:49] Adam: Maybe it’s eating the fish.
[0:45:50 – 0:45:51] Erik: Cut one extra thick for me.
[0:45:51 – 0:45:57] Adam: I’m bringing it out to the tree.
[0:45:57 – 0:45:59] Adam: Cancel your chaperone so fast.
[0:46:00 – 0:46:02] Adam: You’re not allowed, actually, to go on this hike.
[0:46:02 – 0:46:06] Erik: Are you bringing a styrofoam doggy box out here with you right now?
[0:46:06 – 0:46:07] Erik: What’s in your little cooler?
[0:46:08 – 0:46:08] Erik: Nothing.
[0:46:09 – 0:46:12] Erik: Definitely not a prime rib.
[0:46:13 – 0:46:14] Erik: Who would do that?
[0:46:14 – 0:46:17] Erik: Definitely not a three-inch cut prime rib slab for the tree.
[0:46:17 – 0:46:18] Adam: No way.
[0:46:19 – 0:46:23] Adam: It’s definitely not 250 pizza biters I’m about to throw at this witch tree.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:24] Adam: Redacted.
[0:46:25 – 0:46:26] Adam: You can’t say it, sir.
[0:46:26 – 0:46:27] Adam: You can’t say that.
[0:46:29 – 0:46:32] Adam: Also, they’ll limit 50 pizza biters.
[0:46:33 – 0:46:33] Adam: For the tree?
[0:46:33 – 0:46:34] Adam: Per person.
[0:46:35 – 0:46:43] Erik: After you need to be attached with a chaperone, the second sign did say 50 biter max.
[0:46:43 – 0:46:45] Adam: Yeah, you have to stay on the platform now.
[0:46:45 – 0:46:46] Adam: You’re not allowed down here in the zone.
[0:46:47 – 0:46:48] Adam: The zone.
[0:46:48 – 0:46:51] Adam: You’re not down here on the flat spot with the triple thunder holes.
[0:46:52 – 0:46:52] Adam: Get me to the zone.
[0:46:53 – 0:46:55] Adam: Get back up on the platform, sir.
[0:46:55 – 0:46:56] Adam: You’re not allowed down here.
[0:46:57 – 0:46:58] Adam: Damn, that sounds pretty cool.
[0:46:59 – 0:47:00] Erik: Yeah, highly recommend.
[0:47:01 – 0:47:03] Erik: If you do it the right way, highly recommend.
[0:47:04 – 0:47:05] Adam: Yeah, don’t try and paddle out there.
[0:47:06 – 0:47:09] Erik: Well, if you could, and you shouldn’t, but if you can.
[0:47:09 – 0:47:11] Erik: Can you paddle out with a chaperone?
[0:47:12 – 0:47:12] Adam: Oh, I’m sure.
[0:47:12 – 0:47:14] Adam: Can we do like a sea kayak tour of it?
[0:47:14 – 0:47:15] Erik: Hey, get out of here with that.
[0:47:15 – 0:47:17] Adam: Let’s get the tumble bucks out.
[0:47:17 – 0:47:19] Adam: Let’s spend them up.
[0:47:20 – 0:47:23] Adam: Let’s spend them up on a sea kayak.
[0:47:23 – 0:47:26] Adam: Chaperoned sea kayak tour where we bring a bunch of prime rib.
[0:47:26 – 0:47:28] Erik: Can you jet ski out to it?
[0:47:28 – 0:47:30] Adam: You son of a bitch.
[0:47:30 – 0:47:32] Erik: Why don’t we spend the tumble bucks on a jet ski?
[0:47:33 – 0:47:34] Erik: Two person jet ski.
[0:47:34 – 0:47:36] Erik: We’ll just go jet ski out to the spirit tree.
[0:47:37 – 0:47:38] Erik: Throw a prime rib at it.
[0:47:41 – 0:47:41] Adam: That’s…
[0:47:42 – 0:47:43] Adam: And that’s how you end up adrift.
[0:47:43 – 0:47:43] Adam: Yeah.
[0:47:44 – 0:47:49] Erik: And that’s how you do end up getting picked up by a freighter and having to drive all the way back home from Sault Ste.
[0:47:49 – 0:47:50] Erik: Marie.
[0:47:50 – 0:47:50] Erik: Oh, my God.
[0:47:50 – 0:47:57] Erik: After you got put to work stirring the gravy in the kitchen and the depths of…
[0:47:58 – 0:47:58] Adam: Exactly.
[0:47:59 – 0:48:00] Erik: What’s the biggest one?
[0:48:00 – 0:48:01] Erik: The Arthur A. Anderson.
[0:48:02 – 0:48:02] Adam: No.
[0:48:03 – 0:48:05] Adam: You got to be in the gravy vats of the Triggertha.
[0:48:07 – 0:48:08] Adam: Big Paul.
[0:48:08 – 0:48:08] Erik: Yeah.
[0:48:08 – 0:48:09] Erik: Big Paul.
[0:48:09 – 0:48:10] Erik: Big Paul.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:13] Erik: Stirring the gravy vats, sprinkling in those meat chunks.
[0:48:17 – 0:48:39] Erik: we should invest in a jet ski probably eventually yeah allow us to access things like this i mean it does seem like very pragmatic this day and age to be investing in uh hyper specific one person watercraft that you also do need a very hyper specific trailer for just to move around yeah a jet ski trailer i’m in the market for a jet ski trailer
[0:48:40 – 0:48:41] Adam: Yeah.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:43] Adam: No, you need to get them with the jet ski.
[0:48:43 – 0:48:45] Erik: Can I use it for anything else?
[0:48:45 – 0:48:45] Erik: No.
[0:48:45 – 0:48:47] Erik: It just hauls that one jet ski.
[0:48:47 – 0:48:49] Erik: You can haul small lumber.
[0:48:49 – 0:48:50] Erik: Yeah, I’m sure you could.
[0:48:51 – 0:48:55] Erik: You could also probably just throw that jet ski in the back of a regular old trailer, too.
[0:48:55 – 0:48:56] Adam: You could.
[0:48:56 – 0:48:58] Adam: You actually could do that, yeah.
[0:48:58 – 0:49:04] Erik: I just want one of those tiny little lightweight wave runners that has the pedestal that you can flip up and stand up on.
[0:49:05 – 0:49:05] Adam: Yeah, you want the standers.
[0:49:05 – 0:49:13] Erik: I want the lightest weight little wave runner that I can just literally throw on top of my car, on top of the canoe rack.
[0:49:13 – 0:49:14] Adam: Yeah, put it on the canoe rack.
[0:49:14 – 0:49:15] Adam: Yeah.
[0:49:15 – 0:49:43] Erik: that’s what i want down with the tule i don’t want any of those jumbo massive like kanye almost killing uh kim kardashian jet skis down in florida remember that what happened do you remember that no that was like early when they were dating like early days he like fully like full bore crashed a jet ski into a beach and she went like flying like a rag doll oh that was the beginning of the end that was it that was the really the that was the beginning of the end
[0:49:43 – 0:50:03] Adam: yeah i mean for everything yeah was when kanye threw kim kardashian off the jet ski on the beach yeah it’s a demarcation point in this country’s history not a lot of people talk about everybody’s like oh harambe this or no it was when kardashian got thrown yeah
[0:50:04 – 0:50:22] Adam: on the jet ski that was like a wave runner or like a no that was a one of those insane like jumbo like you literally can’t spread your legs wide enough to get on the thing yeah you can like you can like carry one of those big like floating bananas behind it that carries like eight more people
[0:50:22 – 0:50:30] Erik: And Kanye is such an idiot, I’m sure he thought there was brakes on the thing, and he just came cruising into shore at full speed and just blasted.
[0:50:31 – 0:50:35] Erik: Man, she just went fluttering like a starfish in the sky.
[0:50:35 – 0:50:39] Adam: Any Kardashians or Kanye, if you’re listening, hit us up.
[0:50:39 – 0:50:40] Adam: You guys need to come on a canoe trip.
[0:50:41 – 0:50:42] Adam: What do you think Kanye is doing right now?
[0:50:42 – 0:50:46] Adam: Definitely not on a canoe trip, but you need one, sir.
[0:50:46 – 0:50:47] Adam: Call us up.
[0:50:47 – 0:50:49] Adam: It’s tumblehomecast at gmail.com.

[0:50:56 – 0:50:57] Erik: Would you take him out on a canoe trip?
[0:50:58 – 0:50:58] Adam: Yeah, I would.
[0:50:59 – 0:50:59] Adam: Sure, why not?
[0:51:00 – 0:51:01] Adam: Can I say that later?
[0:51:03 – 0:51:05] Adam: Absolutely, I would take Kanye on a trip.
[0:51:05 – 0:51:08] Erik: Is there anybody that you wouldn’t take out on a canoe trip?
[0:51:08 – 0:51:10] Adam: I can think of at least a couple.
[0:51:10 – 0:51:10] Adam: A couple?
[0:51:11 – 0:51:11] Adam: Just a couple?
[0:51:11 – 0:51:12] Adam: No, thanks.
[0:51:12 – 0:51:16] Erik: And they’re all people that we’ve been on canoe trips with already?
[0:51:17 – 0:51:18] Adam: Yeah, you’re on the list.
[0:51:19 – 0:51:24] Adam: No, I don’t think there’s anybody I’ve actually paddled with or I’d be like, hell no, never again.
[0:51:24 – 0:51:25] Adam: Never again.
[0:51:25 – 0:51:30] Adam: I’m just mainly thinking about people that I would never want a canoe trip with.
[0:51:30 – 0:51:31] Adam: Rick Moranis.
[0:51:32 – 0:51:33] Adam: Right.
[0:51:33 – 0:51:34] Adam: Alanis Morissette.
[0:51:35 – 0:51:36] Erik: David Coulier.
[0:51:37 – 0:51:37] Adam: Dave Coulier.

[0:51:38 – 0:51:39] Erik: Yeah.
[0:51:40 – 0:51:42] Adam: Did you know they made a new Fuller?
[0:51:42 – 0:51:43] Adam: It’s called Fuller House.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:46] Erik: Yeah, isn’t that the…
[0:51:46 – 0:51:47] Erik: Ridiculous.
[0:51:47 – 0:51:49] Erik: The Tim and Eric, didn’t they make a… Oh, no, that’s Beef House.
[0:51:50 – 0:51:55] Erik: What are we even talking about?
[0:51:56 – 0:51:56] Adam: Does it matter?
[0:51:56 – 0:51:57] Adam: Does it not matter?
[0:51:57 – 0:51:57] Adam: It doesn’t matter.
[0:51:58 – 0:52:01] Erik: We got Moon Man, and we’re talking about… We got Moon Man, and we have no real schedule.
[0:52:02 – 0:52:03] Erik: These are everybody’s favorite episodes.
[0:52:03 – 0:52:08] Erik: This is the gist I got from the… Oh, really?
[0:52:08 – 0:52:10] Erik: This is as real as it gets.
[0:52:10 – 0:52:10] Erik: The 12…

[0:52:33 – 0:52:34] Erik: Probably not.
[0:52:34 – 0:52:35] Erik: I would bet money that they won’t.
[0:52:36 – 0:52:36] Adam: Wow.

[0:53:50 – 0:53:51] Adam: Oh, yes, you’re right.
[0:53:51 – 0:53:51] Adam: Right?
[0:53:51 – 0:53:52] Adam: Yeah.
[0:53:52 – 0:53:55] Erik: You guys should have done the mid-90s.
[0:53:55 – 0:53:59] Erik: There was that weird thing where they would like… Bash Brothers?
[0:53:59 – 0:54:01] Erik: Yeah, they would… You’re doing the Bash Brothers?
[0:54:01 – 0:54:02] Erik: Yeah.
[0:54:02 – 0:54:07] Erik: They take the arm, you take your hand to your head, and then slam biceps.
[0:54:07 – 0:54:07] Erik: Yeah.
[0:54:07 – 0:54:09] Erik: Like Dante Bichette.
[0:54:09 – 0:54:10] Erik: Dante Bichette.
[0:54:11 – 0:54:12] Erik: And Frank Thomas just like…
[0:54:13 – 0:54:14] Adam: Slamming biceps.
[0:54:14 – 0:54:16] Adam: That’s what you guys should have done out there.
[0:54:16 – 0:54:17] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:54:17 – 0:54:19] Erik: Not been like, well, maybe.
[0:54:19 – 0:54:20] Adam: Rob Deere.
[0:54:20 – 0:54:27] Adam: Fucking Rob Deere’s coming in here with Dante Bichette and they’re slamming biceps down there on the Menominee River.
[0:54:27 – 0:54:27] Adam: Yep.
[0:54:28 – 0:54:29] Adam: Let’s fucking go.
[0:54:29 – 0:54:30] Adam: Yeah, let’s go.
[0:54:30 – 0:54:31] Adam: Damn it anyways.
[0:54:31 – 0:54:33] Adam: Now it’s an explicit episode.
[0:54:33 – 0:54:36] Erik: Everything after 300 is basically just auto.
[0:54:36 – 0:54:44] Adam: Auto E. It’s got the auto E. Auto E. Who’s going to win the Stanley Cup this year?
[0:54:44 – 0:54:47] Erik: Probably a Florida team or the Dallas Stars.
[0:54:47 – 0:54:47] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:54:48 – 0:54:51] Erik: What’s the worst team that you can possibly think of to win it?
[0:54:52 – 0:54:52] Erik: It’ll be them.
[0:54:53 – 0:54:53] Erik: I doubt it.
[0:54:55 – 0:55:00] Erik: there’s nothing in history in the last 10 years that would suggest otherwise.
[0:55:00 – 0:55:03] Adam: Literally, if the Panthers won again, that would be, I guess, the worst.
[0:55:03 – 0:55:05] Adam: But Barkov’s out, and they’re going to do it again.
[0:55:07 – 0:55:11] Erik: A three-peat from Florida would truly cause me to give up the sport.
[0:55:11 – 0:55:14] Erik: I’m not even paying attention until after the new year.
[0:55:15 – 0:55:18] Erik: I don’t care about October hockey at this point.
[0:55:19 – 0:55:20] Erik: All right.
[0:55:21 – 0:55:21] Erik: I mean, what?
[0:55:21 – 0:55:22] Erik: Are you going to be tuning in?
[0:55:23 – 0:55:25] Erik: Yeah, you sit down and watch a lot of hockey games in October?
[0:55:25 – 0:55:27] Adam: I get, like, one hockey game a week if I’m lucky.
[0:55:28 – 0:55:28] Adam: Yeah.
[0:55:28 – 0:55:29] Erik: No, I’m not.
[0:55:29 – 0:55:29] Erik: I don’t care.
[0:55:31 – 0:55:32] Erik: I don’t even know who’s on teams.
[0:55:32 – 0:55:34] Erik: The only thing I know is Mitch Marner’s not on the Leafs anymore.
[0:55:35 – 0:55:37] Erik: That happened a while ago.
[0:55:37 – 0:55:39] Erik: Like, literally, if I were to tune in.
[0:55:39 – 0:55:41] Erik: That’s why I can’t play fantasy hockey anymore.
[0:55:41 – 0:55:43] Erik: I would be surprised to be like, who?
[0:55:43 – 0:55:45] Erik: Mitch ain’t on the Leafs.
[0:55:46 – 0:55:47] Adam: I don’t even know who’s on what teams anymore.
[0:55:47 – 0:55:50] Adam: I’ve always had Mitch Marner on my team, and I just can’t.
[0:55:50 – 0:55:52] Adam: I can’t draft him if he’s going to be on Vegas, so I’m out.
[0:55:53 – 0:55:54] Adam: No more fantasy hockey.
[0:55:54 – 0:55:55] Erik: That’s probably who’s going to win.
[0:55:55 – 0:55:56] Erik: Probably going to be Vegas again.
[0:55:56 – 0:55:57] Adam: That would be the worst, actually.
[0:55:59 – 0:56:00] Adam: It would be good because Mitch would win.
[0:56:01 – 0:56:02] Adam: Y’all love Mitch.
[0:56:02 – 0:56:04] Adam: I don’t really care about Mitch Marner.
[0:56:05 – 0:56:05] Adam: I do.
[0:56:05 – 0:56:07] Adam: I care about them a lot.
[0:56:09 – 0:56:10] Erik: You care about them a lot?
[0:56:10 – 0:56:11] Adam: He’s my boy.
[0:56:11 – 0:56:11] Erik: He’s a they-them.
[0:56:12 – 0:56:13] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:56:13 – 0:56:14] Erik: I don’t even know what that means.
[0:56:15 – 0:56:15] Adam: He’s in Vegas.
[0:56:16 – 0:56:17] Erik: Was there one other thing that we had to talk about?
[0:56:18 – 0:56:19] Erik: Was there anything else on the docket?
[0:56:19 – 0:56:22] Adam: I had a couple of serious things to talk about maybe, but I don’t want to talk about them now.
[0:56:23 – 0:56:26] Erik: Okay, we can just keep shooting the shit then.
[0:56:26 – 0:56:27] Adam: Yeah.
[0:56:27 – 0:56:28] Adam: All right.
[0:56:29 – 0:56:30] Adam: I saw the F1 movie.
[0:56:30 – 0:56:30] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:56:31 – 0:56:33] Adam: Pretty cool.
[0:56:33 – 0:56:40] Adam: I told Eric, I was like, I’m going to see the F1 movie, but I really hope there’s some flashbacks of young Brad Pitt racing.
[0:56:40 – 0:56:41] Adam: I didn’t say anything either.
[0:56:41 – 0:56:42] Adam: He didn’t say nothing, and there is.
[0:56:43 – 0:56:50] Adam: Spoiler alert, you get to see young Brad Pitt driving a Camel Light car that is literally the color of a cigarette.
[0:56:51 – 0:56:56] Adam: It is like the color of the filter of a cigarette after you smoke it.
[0:56:57 – 0:57:00] Adam: It’s the grossest yellow.
[0:57:00 – 0:57:03] Adam: A lot of good vintage F1 footage in there.
[0:57:03 – 0:57:05] Adam: I didn’t know that Brad Pitt raced against Senna.
[0:57:05 – 0:57:06] Adam: That’s incredible.
[0:57:06 – 0:57:07] Adam: Yeah.
[0:57:08 – 0:57:08] Adam: So that was cool.
[0:57:08 – 0:57:10] Adam: A lot of good Baja stuff for me.
[0:57:10 – 0:57:16] Adam: Yeah, they do have weapons on there too, but they don’t have one battle at a time yet.
[0:57:16 – 0:57:17] Erik: One battle after another.
[0:57:18 – 0:57:19] Adam: One battle after another is not on there yet.
[0:57:19 – 0:57:22] Adam: I got access to an unlimited Plex account.
[0:57:22 – 0:57:23] Adam: Plexiglas Burris.
[0:57:24 – 0:57:31] Adam: Yeah, for people who aren’t listening to the TCC episodes, we discussed all of this on the Brains episode, the zombie.
[0:57:32 – 0:57:33] Erik: Brains.
[0:57:33 – 0:57:38] Adam: Yeah, I got access to a Plexiglas Burris account, and it’s got 50,000 movies on it.
[0:57:39 – 0:57:42] Adam: And the first thing I did was looked up one battle after another.
[0:57:42 – 0:57:44] Adam: Not on there yet.
[0:57:44 – 0:57:48] Adam: It’s not on there yet somehow, but I did get to watch F1.
[0:57:49 – 0:57:49] Adam: It was great.
[0:57:51 – 0:57:55] Adam: The only other thing I wanted to talk about that fits the theme of the night.
[0:57:55 – 0:57:59] Erik: You didn’t have some problems, sorry, F1, about the strategy.
[0:58:00 – 0:58:00] Adam: Yeah.
[0:58:00 – 0:58:04] Adam: You can’t just keep crashing on purpose to get more red flags.
[0:58:04 – 0:58:07] Erik: I never really even thought about it because I’m not a big F1 guy.
[0:58:07 – 0:58:11] Adam: You would be kicked out immediately if you kept pulling this nonsense.
[0:58:11 – 0:58:12] Adam: There’s no way.
[0:58:12 – 0:58:18] Erik: They basically don’t get last place because of technicalities in every race.
[0:58:19 – 0:58:23] Adam: Yeah, he keeps slamming it into the… Whoa, whoops.
[0:58:23 – 0:58:24] Adam: Whoopsie doopsie.
[0:58:24 – 0:58:27] Erik: He just destroyed a $900 million car.
[0:58:29 – 0:58:30] Adam: I don’t think that’s how…
[0:58:30 – 0:58:33] Adam: I don’t think it would work, but I don’t know.
[0:58:33 – 0:58:39] Erik: But I also appreciated it because it wasn’t just like, here comes Brad Pitt.
[0:58:39 – 0:58:40] Erik: He’s going to win all the races.
[0:58:41 – 0:58:44] Erik: He just starts winning immediately because he’s good.
[0:58:44 – 0:58:46] Erik: He’s like, I’ve never really actually…
[0:58:47 – 0:58:49] Erik: I haven’t raced F1 since the 80s.
[0:58:49 – 0:58:50] Erik: It’s completely different.
[0:58:50 – 0:58:55] Erik: Like, he’s a good driver, but it’s not one of those, like, I’m just going to, like, win all the races now.
[0:58:55 – 0:58:56] Erik: That would have been pretty boring.
[0:58:57 – 0:58:57] Erik: Right.
[0:58:57 – 0:59:09] Erik: So, like, also kind of annoying that it was just, like, we’re going to do a little ticky-tacky infraction, like, yellow flag racing or whatever.
[0:59:10 – 0:59:12] Adam: Sometimes races get messed up like that, though.
[0:59:12 – 0:59:13] Adam: Yeah.
[0:59:13 – 0:59:19] Adam: But they, like, played that a couple times up, and then the big final race, they, like, really used it to their advantage.
[0:59:19 – 0:59:25] Adam: Like, oh, we get to use new tires somehow because, okay, guys, whatever.
[0:59:25 – 0:59:26] Adam: I mean, I don’t know.
[0:59:26 – 0:59:31] Adam: Nico, like, put a podium up this year out of nowhere after a long career of nothing.
[0:59:32 – 0:59:39] Adam: And actually, it was, like, the week that this movie came out that Nico Hulkenberg, like, got a podium in real F1.
[0:59:39 – 0:59:45] Adam: It was like, oh, if that can happen in a kick, like, come on, anything can happen.
[0:59:45 – 0:59:48] Adam: But this movie was really good.
[0:59:48 – 0:59:49] Adam: I liked it a lot.
[0:59:49 – 0:59:53] Erik: Yeah, I was more appreciative of just the overall, like, filming quality.
[0:59:54 – 1:00:17] Erik: action i took your advice and i watched it on my phone on lowest volume possible and it was incredible the sounds of the racetrack you went on to the settings and actually dumbed it down to like 320p i went to mono i want it to look like it’s constantly buffering yeah is that brad pitt or is that john c reilly i don’t know it doesn’t really matter they basically the same guy
[1:00:18 – 1:00:23] Adam: Yeah, I liked all his tattoos and I like the mystery of the character.
[1:00:23 – 1:00:26] Adam: He’s always putting a mystery card in his pocket.
[1:00:26 – 1:00:27] Adam: I love it.
[1:00:27 – 1:00:28] Adam: Yeah, little things like that.
[1:00:28 – 1:00:29] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:00:29 – 1:00:35] Erik: I feel like we are living in horrible times when it comes to real life.
[1:00:35 – 1:00:36] Erik: Yeah.
[1:00:36 – 1:00:41] Erik: But the best times when it comes to artistry, film, music.
[1:00:42 – 1:00:44] Adam: I think the bad times bring out the good times.
[1:00:44 – 1:00:44] Erik: Yeah.
[1:00:44 – 1:00:45] Erik: No, I don’t know.
[1:00:47 – 1:00:58] Erik: This isn’t going to be a full-blown conversation on music or movies, but I think I said this on the Brains TCC slash Return of the Living Dead.
[1:00:58 – 1:01:00] Erik: Yeah.
[1:01:01 – 1:01:11] Erik: But some of the best music and movies of the decade have been coming out this year, in my opinion.
[1:01:11 – 1:01:11] Erik: Yeah.
[1:01:12 – 1:01:17] Erik: And anybody that says that there is no more good music isn’t trying hard enough.
[1:01:17 – 1:01:19] Erik: I don’t think there’s too many people listening to that show that have that affliction.
[1:01:23 – 1:01:30] Erik: Not a week goes by that I’m not listening to something new that’s just like, oh, man, I got to, like, send this to Adam.
[1:01:30 – 1:01:32] Erik: I got to tell everybody that I know about this.
[1:01:32 – 1:01:34] Adam: You’ve been sending me a lot of good music.
[1:01:34 – 1:01:36] Erik: I can’t wait until the end of the year.
[1:01:36 – 1:01:43] Erik: Like, best year in music since, I don’t know, I was maybe in, like, out of college.
[1:01:44 – 1:01:46] Adam: And I’m like… Best year in music since 1943.
[1:01:46 – 1:01:47] Adam: Yeah.
[1:01:48 – 1:02:15] Erik: since yeah since uh hitler shot himself in the bunker i think 45 yeah yeah oh man is this the 1945 of the 2000s i hope so i hope so are we there yet are we there yet no i don’t think we’re quite there yet but uh if it means that we’re gonna keep getting great music for sure and uh
[1:02:16 – 1:02:18] Erik: And a lot of good movies.
[1:02:18 – 1:02:26] Erik: I don’t think the movies are quite up to the same par of the albums I’ve been listening to, although there have been an insane amount of good movies this year.
[1:02:29 – 1:02:41] Erik: I don’t know if that’s a trade I necessarily want for the world at large, but it’s been going all right for me because I like listening to music.
[1:02:41 – 1:02:42] Erik: So, yeah.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:43] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:44 – 1:02:52] Erik: We’ll talk about it going forward, but yeah, 2025, best year in music in a long time, if you ask me.
[1:02:53 – 1:03:02] Adam: Yeah, we’re probably not going to actually do a What About Bob episode at this point because my notes are weak and Eric doesn’t have anything to think about it or say about it, so…
[1:03:03 – 1:03:06] Adam: Unlikely it’s going to happen, but yeah.
[1:03:06 – 1:03:08] Adam: The Brains episode was good.
[1:03:08 – 1:03:12] Erik: Yeah, I think we should do… Because you said… And we’re going to do Blair Witch.
[1:03:12 – 1:03:13] Erik: You’ve never seen Blair Witch.
[1:03:14 – 1:03:17] Adam: And we’re definitely doing Blair Witch next.
[1:03:17 – 1:03:18] Erik: We for sure have to do that.
[1:03:18 – 1:03:23] Erik: And then also, I think if and when you can…
[1:03:23 – 1:03:28] Erik: Either you find it on the Plexico Burris server.
[1:03:28 – 1:03:29] Erik: Yeah.
[1:03:29 – 1:03:30] Erik: They have weapons.
[1:03:30 – 1:03:31] Erik: Or I acquire…
[1:03:32 – 1:03:33] Adam: I’m not doing that.
[1:03:33 – 1:03:34] Erik: No.
[1:03:34 – 1:03:35] Erik: I am going to watch it though.
[1:03:35 – 1:03:39] Erik: Or I acquire the physical media copy, which has been pre-ordered.
[1:03:39 – 1:03:42] Erik: I feel like we, I don’t know if we’ve ever done this.
[1:03:42 – 1:03:44] Erik: Like what’s the newest movie we’ve ever done?
[1:03:44 – 1:03:45] Erik: Like Phantom Thread?
[1:03:47 – 1:03:47] Erik: Yeah.
[1:03:47 – 1:03:48] Erik: Probably.
[1:03:49 – 1:03:49] Adam: Yeah.
[1:03:49 – 1:03:52] Adam: I don’t know how you just pulled that out, but that’s probably correct.
[1:03:52 – 1:03:59] Erik: But I think if and when you see one battle after another, I think that is a movie that is worth discussing immediately.
[1:03:59 – 1:04:00] Adam: I’ll look again tonight.
[1:04:01 – 1:04:03] Adam: I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s on the channel tonight.
[1:04:04 – 1:04:06] Erik: Because it’s the best movie of this year.
[1:04:06 – 1:04:09] Erik: It’s the best movie I think I’ve seen in the 2020s.
[1:04:09 – 1:04:10] Erik: I can’t wait.
[1:04:10 – 1:04:13] Erik: It’s probably the best movie I’ve seen since Parasite, honestly.
[1:04:13 – 1:04:14] Erik: I’m amped.
[1:04:14 – 1:04:15] Erik: It’s…
[1:04:15 – 1:04:16] Erik: It’s incredible.
[1:04:16 – 1:04:21] Erik: And anybody that hasn’t seen it and has an opportunity to go see it, I know it’s tough for you, obviously.
[1:04:21 – 1:04:22] Erik: It’s tough for everybody.
[1:04:23 – 1:04:26] Erik: But if you can see it in a theater, go and see it in a theater.
[1:04:26 – 1:04:30] Erik: There are so many scenes in that movie that I’ve never seen anything like that on a big screen.
[1:04:31 – 1:04:33] Erik: And everything about it.
[1:04:34 – 1:04:34] Adam: I’m a geek.
[1:04:35 – 1:04:36] Erik: There’s so many amazing characters.
[1:04:36 – 1:04:39] Erik: Benicio Del Toro might be my favorite performance of his ever.
[1:04:40 – 1:04:41] Erik: That’s saying a lot.
[1:04:41 – 1:04:41] Erik: Yeah.
[1:04:42 – 1:04:44] Erik: And I just saw him in The Phoenician Scheme, which he was incredible in.
[1:04:45 – 1:04:47] Erik: But him as Sensei in this movie?
[1:04:47 – 1:04:47] Erik: Oh, my God.
[1:04:48 – 1:04:48] Erik: It’s so good.
[1:04:48 – 1:04:50] Erik: I can’t wait to talk about it with you.
[1:04:50 – 1:04:53] Erik: And that’ll be, as soon as you see it, that will skyrocket to the top.
[1:04:53 – 1:04:56] Adam: We’ll do a… What’s he always say in the airplane in the Phoenician scheme?
[1:04:56 – 1:04:57] Erik: I feel safe.
[1:04:57 – 1:04:57] Erik: I feel safe.
[1:05:01 – 1:05:26] Adam: uh i feel safe uh i can’t wait yeah like you couldn’t get me more excited to see this movie i might try and do some pirate things tonight and find it i don’t know yeah well as long as you’re not watching it from like a handy cam that’s what happened when i first tried to get interstellar yeah no when i first was trying to watch interstellar it was like the worst copy ever and i actually stopped it i was like i’m not doing this yeah well i still haven’t seen interstellar to this day
[1:05:26 – 1:05:27] Erik: Well, I’ve already told you that.
[1:05:27 – 1:05:31] Erik: You need to come over at some point in October or November and just watch Interstellar at my house.
[1:05:31 – 1:05:32] Erik: We’re going to do it.
[1:05:32 – 1:05:33] Erik: We did that last year.
[1:05:33 – 1:05:34] Erik: We’re going to do it for Thanksgiving.
[1:05:34 – 1:05:36] Erik: Yeah, that sounds like a great Thanksgiving.
[1:05:36 – 1:05:36] Adam: I’m coming over.
[1:05:36 – 1:05:40] Adam: I’m going to bring a couple birds, a couple tubs of gravy.
[1:05:40 – 1:05:41] Adam: We’re going to watch Interstellar.
[1:05:41 – 1:05:43] Adam: Classic Thanksgiving movie.
[1:05:43 – 1:05:45] Erik: A couple of Tetra packs of gravy.
[1:05:46 – 1:05:47] Adam: Out of the goodness of your heart.
[1:05:47 – 1:05:52] Adam: We’re going to drive our Ford trucks through a cornfield and think about time.
[1:05:53 – 1:06:19] Adam: young timothy chalamet no for real no way uh the only other note i had on my uh phone tonight that’s appropriate to discuss i would think would be dolmans and we did discuss this on the show on the show a little bit but i was talking to somebody today who is planning to travel up the kelso river and look at the dolman tomorrow the big one the main big the big dolman yeah is the dolman on that cross river real
[1:06:22 – 1:06:22] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:06:23 – 1:06:24] Erik: Are any of them real?
[1:06:25 – 1:06:26] Erik: That’s the question.
[1:06:26 – 1:06:27] Erik: Who knows?
[1:06:27 – 1:06:30] Erik: When do you decide whether they’re real or not?
[1:06:31 – 1:06:37] Erik: If you’re going to say that the one on the Kelso River is real, then they’re all real, in my opinion.
[1:06:37 – 1:06:39] Adam: How did it ever get up on those little rocks like that?
[1:06:39 – 1:06:40] Adam: That’s absurd.
[1:06:40 – 1:06:41] Erik: That’s what I’m saying.
[1:06:41 – 1:06:44] Erik: Like, I’m totally on board with saying that they’re all real.
[1:06:44 – 1:06:52] Erik: Like, if they’re not real, there are at least three, if not four instances.
[1:06:52 – 1:06:53] Erik: We know of four now.
[1:06:54 – 1:06:56] Erik: Which is still in the realm of possibility.
[1:06:56 – 1:06:58] Erik: I put it at a small chance that.
[1:07:00 – 1:07:01] Erik: And that these are all just…
[1:07:02 – 1:07:03] Erik: There could be more, obviously.
[1:07:03 – 1:07:11] Adam: Every time we find another one, it makes it more likely that these are deliberate acts by somebody in the past.
[1:07:11 – 1:07:12] Erik: Somebody.
[1:07:12 – 1:07:14] Erik: So what’s the alternative?
[1:07:14 – 1:07:16] Erik: What’s the alternative explanation?
[1:07:16 – 1:07:17] Erik: Is that just…
[1:07:18 – 1:07:21] Erik: It just happened to land on…
[1:07:21 – 1:07:23] Adam: Glacier shenanigans?
[1:07:23 – 1:07:31] Erik: Four perfect little small rocks on a slab of rock next to a major travel area.
[1:07:31 – 1:07:33] Adam: Exactly right where you need to make the turn.
[1:07:35 – 1:07:45] Erik: Is that more likely than somebody manipulating the rock with… Manipulating?
[1:07:45 – 1:07:52] Erik: Some kind of a wedge, simple machine situation where you lift up a corner, throw a little rock under there.
[1:07:53 – 1:07:57] Erik: I think it’d be pretty easy to do, honestly, if you had it figured out.
[1:07:58 – 1:08:01] Adam: I think if you had a big metal rod, maybe.
[1:08:01 – 1:08:13] Erik: No, I mean, sure, if you want to be a modern day and age monkey wrencher, you could go out there and do it with a truck jack or whatever.
[1:08:13 – 1:08:23] Erik: But I’m thinking if those things have been around for as long as it seems like they have, because a lot of times they’re growing and there’s moss around them, but not under them.
[1:08:23 – 1:08:24] Erik: So they’ve been there for a while.
[1:08:24 – 1:08:31] Erik: I think you could probably wedge up enough of a corner of that rock to like…
[1:08:32 – 1:08:46] Erik: prop it up get a rock under just go around and then there it is it’s unnatural looking enough but it’s still natural looking enough yeah that it could be a point of interest for travelers to know
[1:08:47 – 1:08:48] Adam: They’re on the right path.
[1:08:48 – 1:08:52] Erik: This is the way to go or this is the place to turn.
[1:08:52 – 1:09:01] Erik: And maybe there’s even parts of them in terms of how they lay or where rocks are set under them that mean even more than we’ll ever understand.
[1:09:01 – 1:09:06] Erik: But I tend to be pretty skeptical about…
[1:09:06 – 1:09:13] Adam: If you weren’t aware about a lot of these things.
[1:09:13 – 1:09:15] Erik: But I don’t know how else to explain it.
[1:09:15 – 1:09:19] Erik: That there are that many of these things in various sizes.
[1:09:20 – 1:09:25] Erik: It’d be a different story if it was tiny or the size of a house.
[1:09:26 – 1:09:26] Erik: Right.
[1:09:26 – 1:09:33] Erik: But they’re that perfect size where it’s like, I could see a couple of guys wedging a stick under and…
[1:09:33 – 1:09:36] Adam: Getting a corner up and putting a little stone.
[1:09:36 – 1:09:37] Adam: The way that they’re resting.
[1:09:37 – 1:09:40] Adam: There’s probably a name for the guy who had to put the stone on.
[1:09:41 – 1:09:41] Erik: Yeah.
[1:09:41 – 1:09:44] Erik: Probably just like the Schindler.
[1:09:44 – 1:09:48] Erik: He had to save the children because their fingers fit in the bullets just right.
[1:09:48 – 1:09:50] Adam: It’s like, yeah.
[1:09:50 – 1:09:52] Adam: Is that why he was saving people?
[1:09:52 – 1:09:53] Adam: Well, that was his excuse.
[1:09:53 – 1:09:55] Adam: Hell, that’s right.
[1:09:55 – 1:09:55] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:55 – 1:09:56] Adam: That’s right.
[1:09:56 – 1:09:56] Adam: It was.
[1:09:56 – 1:09:56] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:58 – 1:10:01] Erik: but there’s probably somebody who just had like the place.
[1:10:01 – 1:10:03] Erik: I got real thin hands.
[1:10:03 – 1:10:04] Erik: I can get under the placer.
[1:10:04 – 1:10:05] Adam: I’m the placer.
[1:10:05 – 1:10:08] Adam: Yeah.
[1:10:09 – 1:10:10] Adam: I’m the placer.
[1:10:10 – 1:10:11] Adam: Yeah.
[1:10:11 – 1:10:12] Adam: You guys lift her up.
[1:10:13 – 1:10:15] Adam: You guys get, you’re really risking your hand though.
[1:10:15 – 1:10:16] Adam: What if that stick breaks?
[1:10:17 – 1:10:17] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:10:17 – 1:10:20] Erik: Maybe I use some nice twisted cedar.
[1:10:20 – 1:10:23] Erik: Or maybe there was like a poking stick to get.
[1:10:23 – 1:10:32] Adam: Yeah, I got a big, you know, iron, you know, spud bar thing or whatever for breaking up stone or whatever.
[1:10:32 – 1:10:34] Adam: You stuck one of those under there.
[1:10:34 – 1:10:36] Adam: You got like three guys under it.
[1:10:36 – 1:10:36] Erik: Yeah.
[1:10:37 – 1:10:40] Adam: You’d probably be able to move one of those, but I don’t know, man.
[1:10:40 – 1:10:42] Adam: They look very heavy.
[1:10:43 – 1:10:44] Adam: I find this hard to believe.
[1:10:44 – 1:10:45] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:10:46 – 1:10:47] Erik: What do you find hard to believe?
[1:10:49 – 1:11:05] Adam: I find it hard to believe that even three to four big guys, big hungry guys, even if you get four to five big hungry guys and fed them all a whole pan of lasagna, that they could actually lift one of those rocks up with even the most clever lever.
[1:11:06 – 1:11:08] Erik: Well, then how do you think that those got there?
[1:11:09 – 1:11:10] Erik: Aliens?
[1:11:11 – 1:11:12] Erik: Just chance?
[1:11:13 – 1:11:13] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:11:14 – 1:11:15] Adam: That’s the thing that makes them so crazy.
[1:11:16 – 1:11:19] Adam: Obviously, somebody placed it.
[1:11:19 – 1:11:20] Adam: There was a placer.
[1:11:20 – 1:11:24] Erik: There wasn’t a… No, those were there.
[1:11:24 – 1:11:26] Erik: My thinking is that they were there.
[1:11:26 – 1:11:27] Erik: You think it’s ice?
[1:11:28 – 1:11:29] Erik: No, I don’t.
[1:11:29 – 1:11:32] Erik: I think if it was just one, it was like, wow, that’s crazy.
[1:11:33 – 1:11:35] Erik: Yeah, they’re all over the place.
[1:11:35 – 1:11:36] Adam: We’ve seen many of them.
[1:11:37 – 1:11:37] Erik: Yes, we have.
[1:11:37 – 1:11:39] Erik: And I feel like there are…
[1:11:40 – 1:11:43] Erik: Some that are too big to maybe explain.
[1:11:43 – 1:11:49] Erik: And those ones are a little bit more like that one maybe just landed on that rock just in the right way.
[1:11:51 – 1:11:52] Adam: I think we should try a new one.
[1:11:52 – 1:12:17] Erik: But I think the ones that are like the size of this table or a little bit bigger, like the Kelso one or the one on wine or even the one that we saw that we think is maybe a new one on the corner of the Cross Bay Lake River when we came around the corner, those ones all seem like you could probably get enough of a fulcrum going where all you have to do is just get it up a little bit, get a wedge under there, and you kind of just start working around.
[1:12:17 – 1:12:19] Erik: What else are you going to do?
[1:12:20 – 1:12:21] Erik: Back in the day.
[1:12:21 – 1:12:21] Erik: Oh, wait.
[1:12:21 – 1:12:25] Erik: Let’s prop this boulder up on smaller rocks.
[1:12:26 – 1:12:32] Erik: What else are you going to do to create a waypost that you know is never going to go anywhere?
[1:12:32 – 1:12:34] Adam: This is like before they had spray paint.
[1:12:35 – 1:12:40] Erik: Yeah, there’s not just big arrows on the inside of a cave somewhere to tell you which way to go.
[1:12:41 – 1:12:45] Erik: You got to put a big rock on some smaller rocks.
[1:12:45 – 1:12:45] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:12:45 – 1:12:47] Adam: I definitely want to try and make one.
[1:12:48 – 1:12:55] Adam: I think we should get the big spud bar out, and we’ll get a couple hungry guys and a big pan of lasagna, and we’ll go out and try and make one.
[1:12:56 – 1:12:58] Erik: As long as there’s a big pan of lasagna around.
[1:12:58 – 1:12:59] Erik: Yeah.
[1:13:01 – 1:13:02] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[1:13:02 – 1:13:04] Adam: We’re going to do this.
[1:13:04 – 1:13:05] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:13:05 – 1:13:07] Adam: I think they’re real, obviously.
[1:13:08 – 1:13:09] Adam: I mean, what does that mean?
[1:13:09 – 1:13:10] Adam: What do you mean by real?
[1:13:10 – 1:13:12] Adam: I just feel like somebody made them for us to find.
[1:13:13 – 1:13:15] Erik: But not like…
[1:13:15 – 1:13:18] Adam: I don’t think that the boulder just landed there.
[1:13:18 – 1:13:19] Erik: You don’t think that was just a chance thing?
[1:13:19 – 1:13:20] Erik: No way.
[1:13:20 – 1:13:22] Erik: And neither do I. I don’t think it was either.
[1:13:22 – 1:13:24] Erik: But I guess the question… Well, who the hell made them?
[1:13:24 – 1:13:26] Erik: I guess the question comes down to, yes, who was it?
[1:13:26 – 1:13:28] Erik: And what’s the time frame?
[1:13:28 – 1:13:29] Erik: How long ago was it?
[1:13:29 – 1:13:32] Erik: Was it just some jackasses from the 1910s?
[1:13:32 – 1:13:33] Erik: Yeah.
[1:13:33 – 1:13:37] Erik: Was it somewhere… Or was it ancient?
[1:13:37 – 1:13:37] Erik: Or was it… Yeah.
[1:13:37 – 1:13:40] Erik: How far back do you even want to think about going?
[1:13:40 – 1:13:41] Adam: I love that kind of stuff.
[1:13:41 – 1:13:42] Adam: I want to know more.
[1:13:42 – 1:13:45] Adam: But every time we find a new one, it’s like, gosh.
[1:13:47 – 1:13:50] Adam: We just keep seeming to run into them.
[1:13:50 – 1:13:56] Adam: And I am shocked that the one on the Cross Bay Lake River thing, that we hadn’t heard about that one.
[1:13:57 – 1:13:57] Erik: I never heard of it.
[1:13:57 – 1:14:00] Adam: It seems improbable that nobody’s ever mentioned it to us.
[1:14:00 – 1:14:01] Erik: Yeah.
[1:14:02 – 1:14:04] Adam: And it’s plain as day that that’s a dolman.
[1:14:05 – 1:14:06] Adam: You can see it from the water.
[1:14:06 – 1:14:09] Erik: You can see straight through the bottom all the way out to the other side.
[1:14:10 – 1:14:14] Adam: All the way to the other side, how has this never been brought to our attention before?
[1:14:15 – 1:14:17] Adam: I find this very hard to believe that nobody else has noticed it.
[1:14:19 – 1:14:31] Adam: So anyways, I guess this is just a way of saying that we’re super interested, if it wasn’t already clear, that we are super interested in the dolmens and any big rocks up on top of little rocks.
[1:14:31 – 1:14:35] Adam: So if anybody else knows of other ones out there, we currently know of four.
[1:14:36 – 1:14:48] Adam: That we have personally seen, and I would love to see more and document them at some point, because they’re just one of my favorite things about the entire park.
[1:14:49 – 1:14:55] Erik: I think it’s the same concept for me in my head that had me…
[1:14:56 – 1:15:14] Erik: really reflecting when we went to see the spirit tree yeah is that same concept of like you can think about it in so many different ways how did it get here how is it still here not necessarily that there’s a great correlation between a rock and a tree but
[1:15:14 – 1:15:19] Erik: But just, like, you can really time travel at places like that.
[1:15:20 – 1:15:20] Erik: Yes.
[1:15:20 – 1:15:26] Erik: Where you think about what it looked like to somebody coming down to the shore or paddling by it.
[1:15:27 – 1:15:28] Erik: Like, how long has it been here?
[1:15:31 – 1:15:38] Erik: Was it ever, like, used for, like, a way marker or, like, just imagining different parties of people?
[1:15:39 – 1:16:07] Adam: very what i like a lot about it it’s like the old like border country like the old voyager highway sites yeah when you camp at one of those old campsites yeah you can definitely feel the ghosts of the past in that site when you’re there yeah there’s like thinking about all the different people who have been in this spot the light tingle that it gives you that weird connection that weird tingle of connection to the past that um
[1:16:09 – 1:16:12] Erik: say what you will about the old Smith or Nina greats.
[1:16:12 – 1:16:14] Erik: They don’t really give me that tingle.
[1:16:14 – 1:16:21] Erik: I’m happy they’re there, but the dolmens and the scars on the sides of red pines.
[1:16:22 – 1:16:39] Erik: And, um, when we were up in Quetico, there were so many different times when we were up on these lakes and the people that we were paddling with one time, um, we were sitting at a campsite and we were just looking down this, this lake just like,
[1:16:40 – 1:16:41] Erik: never-ending water.
[1:16:42 – 1:16:44] Erik: And it’s just like, this is a highway.
[1:16:45 – 1:16:48] Erik: This was in the 1600s.
[1:16:48 – 1:16:49] Erik: This was a highway.
[1:16:49 – 1:16:51] Adam: This campsite was the old truck stop.
[1:16:51 – 1:16:52] Erik: Basically, yeah.
[1:16:53 – 1:16:59] Erik: You’re looking down the easiest way to move goods in the 1600s.
[1:17:00 – 1:17:02] Erik: Like, we’re on an interstate.
[1:17:03 – 1:17:05] Erik: An old-time interstate.
[1:17:05 – 1:17:08] Adam: They were really considered voyagers as truckers.
[1:17:08 – 1:17:13] Erik: Find the… Yeah, old Lubongo wearing his big trucker hat.
[1:17:14 – 1:17:16] Adam: Lubongo was just a really good trucker.
[1:17:16 – 1:17:20] Erik: Yeah, getting that 75-cent squirt of cologne, picking up a crate case.
[1:17:22 – 1:17:22] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:17:23 – 1:17:24] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:17:24 – 1:17:26] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:17:26 – 1:17:29] Adam: Canoes are just the big rigs of the past.
[1:17:30 – 1:17:30] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[1:17:32 – 1:17:33] Adam: 10-4, good buddy.
[1:17:33 – 1:17:34] Adam: Yeah.
[1:17:34 – 1:17:37] Adam: Big birch bark 18-wheeler.
[1:17:37 – 1:17:37] Adam: Yeah.
[1:17:38 – 1:17:39] Adam: It’s a canoe thing.
[1:17:39 – 1:17:40] Erik: It’s a canoe thing.
[1:17:40 – 1:17:41] Erik: Yeah.
[1:17:41 – 1:17:43] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:17:43 – 1:17:50] Erik: All that stuff is kind of what makes me think more than anything else, more than just like, boy, isn’t it pretty?
[1:17:51 – 1:17:52] Erik: And it is really pretty.
[1:17:53 – 1:18:02] Erik: But it’s that all those little things that we kind of just keep finding that are connections to the past that are much more interesting to me than…
[1:18:04 – 1:18:05] Erik: anything else.
[1:18:05 – 1:18:06] Erik: And all the other stuff is great.
[1:18:07 – 1:18:08] Erik: I mean, I’m fine with it.
[1:18:08 – 1:18:08] Erik: It’s good.
[1:18:09 – 1:18:09] Erik: I love it.
[1:18:09 – 1:18:21] Erik: But the most compelling aspects of the place are more and more as I get older, the history of not necessarily like
[1:18:24 – 1:18:37] Erik: what’s written or the nitty gritty like I wouldn’t want to ever read about it but it’s like it’s the mysterious pictographs it’s what’s not written it’s the maybe this was a place maybe it wasn’t
[1:18:38 – 1:18:44] Erik: Um, and then like, yeah, just like the, what’s the easiest way to get from point A to point B?
[1:18:45 – 1:18:47] Erik: Oh, there’s probably this huge stretch of water where there’s no portaging.
[1:18:48 – 1:18:51] Erik: Maybe, uh, check out that area.
[1:18:52 – 1:19:04] Erik: And, uh, and yeah, that’s, uh, that’s still one of the main reasons that I keep going on top of the biters.
[1:19:04 – 1:19:05] Adam: Yeah, of course.
[1:19:06 – 1:19:11] Adam: So I just left a couple biters under the dolmen at all holy sites, of course.
[1:19:11 – 1:19:15] Erik: Yeah, I brought one cold biter and just threw it at the spirit tree.
[1:19:15 – 1:19:21] Adam: I’m not even going to ask what your real sacrifice was, but I think sacrifice is probably the wrong term.
[1:19:21 – 1:19:24] Erik: I didn’t sacrifice anything, but there was an offering.
[1:19:24 – 1:19:29] Adam: One boiled goose.
[1:19:29 – 1:19:31] Adam: But yeah, I think you are supposed to leave an offering.
[1:19:31 – 1:19:40] Adam: I’ve always felt that way whenever I find even a strange cave or a thunder hole or definitely a dolmen.
[1:19:41 – 1:19:48] Adam: Anytime rocks and water are interacting in a way that is odd or absurd, I always try and leave a gift.
[1:19:48 – 1:19:51] Adam: And I think that’s a good way to live your life.
[1:19:51 – 1:19:57] Erik: Yeah, rocks and water interacting in a crazy way next to a 400-year-old gnarled cedar tree.
[1:19:57 – 1:19:59] Erik: Yeah.
[1:19:59 – 1:20:00] Erik: Pretty cool place.
[1:20:01 – 1:20:11] Erik: And, yeah, many other places like that in the Quatico Superior Wilderness that you can easily find on your own if you just pay attention.
[1:20:11 – 1:20:11] Adam: Yeah.
[1:20:13 – 1:20:14] Erik: Keep your eyes peeled.
[1:20:14 – 1:20:26] Erik: I always think I am paying attention, but through a route that I’ve been down, I think before we even got to that point, I was like, I’ve paddled this route like 10 times back and forth.
[1:20:27 – 1:20:28] Erik: Never seen that before.
[1:20:28 – 1:20:29] Erik: Never noticed it ever.
[1:20:31 – 1:20:33] Adam: And it was pointed out to us almost immediately.
[1:20:33 – 1:20:37] Adam: Well, I think it was prominent because we did miss that turn.
[1:20:38 – 1:20:39] Adam: We kept paddling straight.
[1:20:39 – 1:20:42] Adam: And then, like, wait, wait, we were supposed to turn there.
