Episode Transcript

[0:00:07 – 0:00:15] Erik: The Hamburglar was a pint-sized burglar who debuted in 1971 and was one of the first villains on the commercials.
[0:00:15 – 0:00:20] Erik: He is dressed in a black and white hoop shirt and pants, a red cape, a wide-brimmed hat, and red gloves.
[0:00:21 – 0:00:25] Erik: His primary object of theft was hamburgers, hence the name.
[0:00:26 – 0:00:28] Erik: The character, like Grimace, started out as a villain.
[0:00:29 – 0:00:39] Erik: Only he was old, had a long nose, gray hair, and was called the Lone Jogger in some 1970s commercials sporting a shirt that said, Lone Jogger.
[0:00:40 – 0:00:44] Erik: Hamburglar spoke in gibberish, which was often translated by Captain Crook.
[0:00:45 – 0:00:57] Erik: He was revised in 1985, where his look changed from a trollish old man to a red-headed Dennis the Menace-type child who spoke, wore a shorter-brimmed hat and a black cape with yellow on the inside.
[0:00:57 – 0:01:03] Erik: Previously, his unintelligible muttering became the familiar rubble-rubble in the 2000s.
[0:01:06 – 0:01:09] Erik: He loves playing tricks on his friends and still loves burgers.
[0:01:09 – 0:01:14] Erik: The very last appearance of Hamburglar on television were on primetime commercials promoting the dollar menu.
[0:01:15 – 0:01:19] Erik: One spot featured the Hamburglar and Grimace with Cedric the Entertainer.
[0:01:20 – 0:01:25] Erik: And the very last spot featured the Hamburglar with tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams.
[0:01:25 – 0:01:32] Erik: Various other spots featuring the Hamburglar and character alongside familiar and famous celebrities were planned but were canceled.
[0:01:33 – 0:01:49] Erik: A conflict emerged between agencies as to whether or not to continue using the character or follow through with ad agency Leo Burnett’s desire to elevate the I’m Lovin’ It campaign and phase out the campaign and the characters completely.
[0:01:49 – 0:01:52] Adam: Yeah, I can’t remember the last time I saw the Hamburglar.
[0:01:52 – 0:01:53] Adam: Now I know.
[0:01:53 – 0:01:54] Erik: And now you know.
[0:01:54 – 0:01:55] Erik: Welcome.
[0:01:55 – 0:01:55] Adam: It’s been a while.
[0:01:56 – 0:01:57] Erik: To Tumble Home.
[0:01:58 – 0:01:59] Erik: A McDonald’s.
[0:02:02 – 0:02:02] Erik: What are you?
[0:02:02 – 0:02:03] Erik: Characters?
[0:02:03 – 0:02:05] Erik: A McDonaldland.
[0:02:06 – 0:02:07] Adam: McDonald’s villain podcast.

[0:02:08 – 0:02:12] Erik: A McDonaldland commercial merchandise and other media podcast.
[0:02:14 – 0:02:14] Erik: a.k.a.
[0:02:14 – 0:02:16] Erik: Tumble Home, a Boundary Warriors podcast.
[0:02:16 – 0:02:17] Erik: My name is Eric.
[0:02:17 – 0:02:21] Erik: Spitting all of the grimace and Hamburglar information.
[0:02:21 – 0:02:27] Erik: Adam will be coming to you hot and heavy later on with Mayor McCheese and Fry Kids info.
[0:02:27 – 0:02:29] Adam: Rubble, rubble, rubble.
[0:02:29 – 0:02:29] Erik: Rubble, rubble.
[0:02:31 – 0:02:35] Adam: I like that his primary object of theft was burgers, but not the only one.
[0:02:35 – 0:02:36] Adam: What else was he stealing?
[0:02:36 – 0:02:37] Adam: His primary object.
[0:02:38 – 0:02:41] Adam: Silk-lined vests and capes.
[0:02:42 – 0:02:42] Erik: He’s becaped.
[0:02:43 – 0:02:45] Erik: I love that he originally was an old man.
[0:02:46 – 0:02:48] Adam: Yeah, what was with the Lone Jogger?
[0:02:48 – 0:02:53] Erik: I don’t know, but it’s capitalized, and he had a shirt that also said Lone Jogger.
[0:02:53 – 0:02:54] Adam: Yeah, I like that.
[0:02:54 – 0:02:59] Erik: That’s just like a bullseye for a park serial killer.
[0:02:59 – 0:03:01] Erik: I am a Lone Jogger.
[0:03:01 – 0:03:03] Adam: I just pictured the Lone Jogger was the serial killer.
[0:03:03 – 0:03:04] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:03:04 – 0:03:06] Adam: Kill you for your burger right now.
[0:03:06 – 0:03:07] Erik: Also, maybe that.
[0:03:08 – 0:03:10] Adam: Shanked by the Lone Jogger.
[0:03:10 – 0:03:12] Adam: Took your burgers and your life.
[0:03:13 – 0:03:14] Adam: Jesus Christ.
[0:03:14 – 0:03:15] Erik: And your life.
[0:03:16 – 0:03:18] Adam: I had to make them a little more kid-friendly.
[0:03:18 – 0:03:26] Adam: The knife violence is not palatable to the Happy Meal crowd.
[0:03:26 – 0:03:31] Erik: I think I need to get off of McDonald’s Wiki or this podcast will never continue.
[0:03:31 – 0:03:32] Adam: All right.
[0:03:32 – 0:03:39] Adam: This is episode 0174, part three of six, the question of the year.
[0:03:40 – 0:03:41] Adam: Tell us your best story.
[0:03:41 – 0:03:45] Adam: Thank you for all the previous responses on parts one and two.
[0:03:46 – 0:03:49] Adam: Check your feed for those and make sure you listen to these in order.
[0:03:49 – 0:03:52] Adam: This is going to make zero sense at all.
[0:03:54 – 0:04:01] Adam: Tonight’s Ron Schera outdoor calendar fact of the day is DDT is banned.
[0:04:01 – 0:04:02] Adam: 1972.
[0:04:02 – 0:04:05] Adam: That was right about when the hamburger got loose.
[0:04:05 – 0:04:07] Adam: I think there’s a connection there.
[0:04:07 – 0:04:09] Adam: Yeah, I think there’s not a coincidence there.
[0:04:09 – 0:04:15] Adam: Sunset is still at, let me check this, 431.
[0:04:16 – 0:04:17] Adam: Dark times.
[0:04:17 – 0:04:21] Adam: It’s dark times here both in hamburger land and in the north country.
[0:04:21 – 0:04:44] Adam: dark as uh black steers took us on a moonless night here uh ron shara we’re almost done with the december here still no not even a picture oh wait oh i’m sorry look at these little scamps christmas tradition i thought there wasn’t even a picture for for december but it’s a bunch of puppies uh ripping up presents in a sleigh that’s disturbing
[0:04:46 – 0:04:54] Erik: Well, my auxiliary computer just went black here, so I’m going to have to get a power cord going on it.
[0:04:54 – 0:04:55] Adam: What do you need?
[0:04:55 – 0:04:56] Erik: We’ll get you.
[0:04:56 – 0:05:03] Erik: I’ll jump over to the AV bag here, and hopefully it’s just power, and the whole computer hasn’t just died completely.
[0:05:03 – 0:05:05] Adam: Your batteries are going in reverse.
[0:05:05 – 0:05:08] Adam: It’s Tumble Home Boundary Waters Podcast.
[0:05:08 – 0:05:12] Adam: Coming to you live from the Tumble Shed where batteries go in reverse.
[0:05:12 – 0:05:13] Adam: Why not?
[0:05:14 – 0:05:15] Adam: Battery burglar.
[0:05:15 – 0:05:16] Adam: Battery burglar.
[0:05:16 – 0:05:17] Adam: Mostly eats burgers.
[0:05:17 – 0:05:19] Adam: Sometimes will burgle your batteries.
[0:05:19 – 0:05:20] Erik: Think about this.
[0:05:20 – 0:05:20] Erik: Yeah.
[0:05:20 – 0:05:21] Erik: While I’m plugging in this computer.
[0:05:22 – 0:05:22] Erik: All right.
[0:05:22 – 0:05:27] Erik: I was in the middle of reading a two-paragraph article.
[0:05:28 – 0:05:29] Erik: Yeah, you had the glow in your eye.
[0:05:29 – 0:05:30] Erik: Yeah, I had the glow in my eye.
[0:05:30 – 0:05:32] Erik: This is not on McDonald’s wiki.
[0:05:32 – 0:05:37] Erik: This was an actual, I think, some Canadian newspaper it looked like.
[0:05:37 – 0:05:38] Erik: It looked legit.
[0:05:38 – 0:05:38] Erik: Uh-huh.
[0:05:38 – 0:05:43] Erik: But apparently they asked an ad exec from McDonald’s, like, what is Grimace?
[0:05:43 – 0:05:43] Erik: Yes.
[0:05:44 – 0:05:47] Erik: And apparently he’s a large taste bud.
[0:05:50 – 0:05:50] Adam: Wow.
[0:05:51 – 0:05:57] Erik: I can’t tell if that’s absolutely, if it makes sense or if it’s just horribly disgusting or all of the above.
[0:05:59 – 0:06:04] Adam: So he’s not a grape soda, but a taste bud come to life.
[0:06:04 – 0:06:05] Erik: Yeah.
[0:06:08 – 0:06:10] Erik: Purple throbbing taste buds.
[0:06:10 – 0:06:11] Adam: That’s interesting.
[0:06:11 – 0:06:12] Adam: I wouldn’t have guessed that.
[0:06:13 – 0:06:13] Adam: That’s for sure.
[0:06:13 – 0:06:15] Adam: Yeah.
[0:06:16 – 0:06:22] Adam: The ads of the 70s and 80s, in hindsight, did not make a whole lot of sense.
[0:06:22 – 0:06:23] Adam: But they didn’t have to.
[0:06:24 – 0:06:28] Adam: Like I said in the previous episode, there was like four chain restaurants at that time.
[0:06:29 – 0:06:30] Adam: And one of them was…
[0:06:31 – 0:06:34] Adam: This is like pre-Chucky Cheese back then.
[0:06:35 – 0:06:37] Adam: This is showbiz pizza time.
[0:06:39 – 0:06:43] Adam: But there’s like two channels of television.
[0:06:43 – 0:06:46] Adam: There’s only so many ads you could even fit on the TV.
[0:06:46 – 0:06:48] Erik: Are you going to go full boomer?
[0:06:48 – 0:06:50] Adam: No, they didn’t have to try that hard is all I’m saying.
[0:06:50 – 0:06:54] Erik: There used to be only four channels back in my day, I remember.
[0:06:55 – 0:06:58] Adam: Next week on the show, we’re going to delve into Chuck E. Cheese.
[0:06:58 – 0:07:00] Adam: Come on down to our rat casino.
[0:07:01 – 0:07:02] Adam: Come on down, kids.
[0:07:04 – 0:07:08] Adam: Eat some of this pizza with hair all over it at our rat casino.
[0:07:10 – 0:07:12] Adam: Now, we’re going to get into Cruz.
[0:07:12 – 0:07:15] Adam: Let’s talk about the Chuck E. Cheese band next week.
[0:07:15 – 0:07:21] Erik: Yeah, there’s a whole sub-genre online of people that go retroactively collect those animatronic animals.
[0:07:21 – 0:07:22] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:07:22 – 0:07:22] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:07:23 – 0:07:23] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:07:23 – 0:07:24] Adam: I know.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:24] Erik: I know.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:27] Erik: And put them back to life, make them play different music.
[0:07:27 – 0:07:27] Erik: Better music.
[0:07:27 – 0:07:27] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:27 – 0:07:30] Adam: Yeah, I was spent.
[0:07:30 – 0:07:36] Adam: We’re not getting into Chuck E. Cheese, but yeah, I’ve been to one, and they’re scary.
[0:07:36 – 0:07:38] Adam: I don’t like them very much at all.
[0:07:38 – 0:07:45] Adam: What if you were just going down a portage, and the lead singer of Chuck E. Cheese Band was just animatronic out on the side of the portage?
[0:07:46 – 0:07:48] Adam: It would be pretty frightening.
[0:07:49 – 0:07:49] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:49 – 0:07:50] Adam: We wouldn’t want to see that.
[0:07:50 – 0:07:50] Adam: No.
[0:07:51 – 0:07:56] Adam: Or if you woke up in your hammock one night and you just looked over and there’s that big old rat just singing.
[0:07:57 – 0:07:59] Erik: A big old electrified rat.
[0:07:59 – 0:08:01] Adam: Yeah, not a real rat, a robot rat.
[0:08:02 – 0:08:21] Adam: tonight’s beer sponsor is it time eric i think it’s time for the beer sponsor i am thirsty after talking about these uh burgers and uh pizzas speaking of ddt yeah time yeah ddt was out loud and tonight’s beer sponsorship eric’s got his hands on uh what do you got there ddh

[0:08:31 – 0:08:32] Erik: Venn Brewing Company.
[0:08:32 – 0:08:34] Erik: Where are they from, Eric?
[0:08:34 – 0:08:35] Erik: Minneapolis.
[0:08:35 – 0:08:36] Erik: Minneapolis.

[0:08:49 – 0:08:56] Adam: I got me here a Venn Brewing Company Northodox Citrus Ford New England IPA.
[0:08:58 – 0:08:58] Adam: Looks feisty.
[0:08:59 – 0:09:03] Adam: It says here on the back, Eric, best in your mouth, not in your cellar.
[0:09:04 – 0:09:11] Adam: We pried these suckers out of the wooden food box that they are nested in, and we’re going to drink them right now.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:14] UNKNOWN: Oh, yeah.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:15] Adam: That’s stereo.
[0:09:17 – 0:09:19] Adam: Cheers, my good man.
[0:09:25 – 0:09:25] Erik: Mmm.
[0:09:27 – 0:09:28] Erik: Yeah.
[0:09:30 – 0:09:33] Erik: An arctic fox darts along a mountainside.
[0:09:35 – 0:09:41] Erik: Its long, bushy tail sweeps snow into the night sky, creating a glowing spectacle overhead.
[0:09:43 – 0:09:45] Erik: At this moment, the Northern Lights are born.
[0:09:46 – 0:09:51] Erik: Our origin story is much simpler, but our intention is much the same.
[0:09:52 – 0:09:56] Erik: We aim to craft a similar sense of wonder with our beer.
[0:09:57 – 0:10:02] Erik: This limited release is here only while it lasts, much like the Northern Lights.
[0:10:03 – 0:10:03] Erik: Wow.
[0:10:03 – 0:10:06] Erik: So, go on and enjoy it.
[0:10:07 – 0:10:08] Adam: Well, you can.
[0:10:09 – 0:10:09] Erik: I will.
[0:10:10 – 0:10:11] Erik: That’s a bit threatening there at the end.
[0:10:13 – 0:10:14] Adam: You can trust us.
[0:10:15 – 0:10:15] Adam: Now.
[0:10:16 – 0:10:16] Erik: Now.
[0:10:16 – 0:10:17] Erik: For now.
[0:10:18 – 0:10:22] Erik: Do you have a little story on yours about a fox or is it just mine?
[0:10:22 – 0:10:23] Adam: Is it the same story?
[0:10:23 – 0:10:24] Adam: I got a fox.
[0:10:24 – 0:10:25] Adam: It’s a very nice looking fox.
[0:10:27 – 0:10:40] Adam: Invented out east, brewed for the north, our hazy IPA is teeming with citrus, simcoe, and mosaic hops, which in the present of restrained bitterness lends lush flavors of fresh squeezed citrus juice and marmalade.
[0:10:41 – 0:10:44] Adam: Remember to tip your towboat driver.
[0:10:44 – 0:10:44] Adam: Oh, all right.
[0:10:45 – 0:10:47] Erik: What’s his name?
[0:10:48 – 0:10:51] Adam: Towboat drivers, they deserve $25 an hour.
[0:10:51 – 0:10:52] Adam: Yeah, they should form a union.
[0:10:53 – 0:10:55] Adam: Yeah, the towboat driver’s union.
[0:10:55 – 0:10:56] Adam: They got to get their tokens.
[0:10:56 – 0:10:57] Erik: AFI, CIO.
[0:10:58 – 0:10:59] Adam: Hey, hop on in.
[0:10:59 – 0:11:01] Adam: Hey, hop on in.
[0:11:01 – 0:11:02] Adam: Staten Island, never heard of it.
[0:11:03 – 0:11:05] Adam: You’re 20 minutes late.
[0:11:06 – 0:11:06] Adam: Hey.
[0:11:07 – 0:11:08] Adam: You going to bust my balls?
[0:11:08 – 0:11:12] Erik: What are you going to do about it?
[0:11:13 – 0:11:13] Adam: They love it.
[0:11:13 – 0:11:16] Adam: They love the accents and the impressions on Tumble Home.
[0:11:16 – 0:11:18] Adam: We’re not from out east.
[0:11:18 – 0:11:20] Adam: I know it’s going to come as a shock to many of you.
[0:11:20 – 0:11:24] Adam: We grew up in the Midwest.
[0:11:24 – 0:11:25] Adam: I’ve been to Boston now.
[0:11:25 – 0:11:26] Adam: I’ve been to Boston and New York.
[0:11:27 – 0:11:28] Erik: I’ve driven through Boston.
[0:11:29 – 0:11:31] Erik: I’ve been to New York.
[0:11:31 – 0:11:33] Adam: I was just telling somebody how we went to Maine.
[0:11:33 – 0:11:35] Adam: Remember when we went to Maine?
[0:11:35 – 0:11:36] Erik: Yeah, we went to Acadia.
[0:11:37 – 0:11:38] Adam: Ran down to the Thunder Hole.
[0:11:39 – 0:11:40] Erik: Went to Bar Harbor.
[0:11:40 – 0:11:44] Adam: Got a lobster roll, Eric.
[0:11:44 – 0:11:47] Adam: I’ve been watching a lot of This Old House videos, too.
[0:11:47 – 0:11:48] Adam: So there’s that.
[0:11:48 – 0:11:49] Erik: And sink replacements.
[0:11:49 – 0:11:51] Erik: 20-year-old, out-of-date sink replacement videos.
[0:11:51 – 0:11:54] Adam: Here’s what you’re going to want to do to get this asbestos out of you.
[0:11:54 – 0:11:54] Adam: Yeah.
[0:11:54 – 0:11:56] Adam: Bob Vila still had dark hair.
[0:11:56 – 0:11:59] Adam: Bob Vila’s been dead for 10 years, Eric.
[0:11:59 – 0:12:00] Adam: Has he?
[0:12:00 – 0:12:00] Adam: R.I.P.
[0:12:00 – 0:12:00] Adam: Bob.
[0:12:01 – 0:12:01] Adam: He’s not dead.
[0:12:01 – 0:12:02] Adam: Yeah, he’s dead.
[0:12:02 – 0:12:03] Adam: Is he?
[0:12:03 – 0:12:06] Adam: I don’t know, but I haven’t seen him on YouTube lately.
[0:12:07 – 0:12:08] Adam: They got that other guy now.
[0:12:08 – 0:12:11] Adam: It looks like a mix between Grimace and Ronald McDonald.
[0:12:11 – 0:12:12] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:13] Adam: Yeah, you know the guy.
[0:12:13 – 0:12:13] Adam: I don’t.
[0:12:13 – 0:12:14] Adam: The main guy.
[0:12:14 – 0:12:16] Adam: Yeah, the new This Old House guy.
[0:12:17 – 0:12:18] Adam: He’s nice, though.
[0:12:18 – 0:12:20] Adam: Unlike Ronald McDonald or Grimace.
[0:12:20 – 0:12:21] Adam: He’s nice, though.
[0:12:21 – 0:12:24] Adam: He’s like a mix of the two, but he’s nice and he can fix your sink.
[0:12:24 – 0:12:25] Adam: Hey, buddy.
[0:12:25 – 0:12:35] Erik: I came home the other night after working and the geologist’s wife was watching a show on TV where it was a new show and the dad, Penn 15, have you heard of this show?
[0:12:35 – 0:12:36] Erik: It’s about middle school girls.
[0:12:36 – 0:12:37] Erik: I have heard of it.
[0:12:37 – 0:12:37] Adam: I haven’t seen it.
[0:12:37 – 0:12:39] Erik: Yeah, the dad is Al Borland.
[0:12:40 – 0:12:40] Erik: Oh.
[0:12:41 – 0:12:42] Erik: And he’s not selling ladders.
[0:12:43 – 0:12:44] Adam: Is he still handy, though?
[0:12:44 – 0:12:45] Erik: Doesn’t seem like it.
[0:12:45 – 0:12:47] Adam: He’s not handy at all.
[0:12:47 – 0:12:49] Adam: Is he a buffoon dad?
[0:12:49 – 0:12:51] Adam: No, I think he’s… Classic trope.
[0:12:51 – 0:12:54] Erik: No, he seems like he’s trying to do his best, but he’s on the road a lot.
[0:12:54 – 0:12:57] Erik: I think he’s like an AV guy for concerts, I guess.
[0:12:58 – 0:12:58] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:12:58 – 0:12:59] Adam: Don’t quote me on anybody.
[0:12:59 – 0:13:00] Adam: They’re not doing concerts anymore.
[0:13:00 – 0:13:01] Adam: Are they?
[0:13:02 – 0:13:02] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:13:02 – 0:13:02] Adam: AV?
[0:13:04 – 0:13:07] Erik: Yeah, well, I think he sets up speakers for something.
[0:13:08 – 0:13:09] Adam: I don’t think they’re doing those anymore.
[0:13:09 – 0:13:12] Erik: I was listening and paying attention with one eye and half an ear.
[0:13:12 – 0:13:13] Adam: Okay.
[0:13:14 – 0:13:15] Adam: Good story, then.
[0:13:15 – 0:13:16] Adam: Good story.
[0:13:16 – 0:13:17] Adam: Bahaba.
[0:13:17 – 0:13:18] Adam: Remember, we went to the Thunder Hole.
[0:13:18 – 0:13:20] Adam: I do remember walking Acadia.
[0:13:20 – 0:13:21] Adam: Rehaboth Beach.
[0:13:22 – 0:13:26] Erik: Camping next to all those Boy Scouts that we made fun of, and then we were the ones that got bamboozled.
[0:13:26 – 0:13:26] Adam: We got raccooned.
[0:13:27 – 0:13:28] Adam: We got raccooned.
[0:13:28 – 0:13:29] Adam: First time, last time.
[0:13:30 – 0:13:32] Adam: Never been had again by the critter.
[0:13:33 – 0:13:35] Adam: Yeah, that was a fun national park.
[0:13:35 – 0:13:36] Adam: Cadillac Mountain, I think.
[0:13:36 – 0:13:37] Erik: It was all right.
[0:13:37 – 0:13:39] Adam: Cadillac Mountain is pretty sweet.
[0:13:40 – 0:13:42] Adam: It’s like a state park.
[0:13:42 – 0:13:42] Adam: Come on.
[0:13:43 – 0:13:43] Adam: Wow.
[0:13:43 – 0:13:44] Adam: It’s a big old state park.
[0:13:45 – 0:13:46] Adam: Well, I mean, basically.
[0:13:46 – 0:13:47] Adam: An area with too many people.
[0:13:47 – 0:13:51] Erik: Yeah, there’s communities within the national park.
[0:13:51 – 0:13:52] Erik: There’s little towns and stuff.
[0:13:52 – 0:13:53] Erik: Right, right.
[0:13:54 – 0:13:57] Erik: And it seems a little bit overused.
[0:13:57 – 0:14:02] Adam: Even though the raccoons ate our string cheese, they still had a pretty good time.
[0:14:02 – 0:14:02] Adam: High marks.
[0:14:03 – 0:14:04] Erik: There was no Mount Moosilaki.
[0:14:04 – 0:14:06] Adam: No, Moosilaki was way better.
[0:14:07 – 0:14:09] Adam: That one’s off the beaten path.
[0:14:09 – 0:14:10] Adam: Got to know somebody.
[0:14:10 – 0:14:12] Adam: You got to know somebody getting a Moosilaki.
[0:14:12 – 0:14:13] Adam: You know what I’m saying?
[0:14:13 – 0:14:13] Adam: Yeah, you do.
[0:14:14 – 0:14:14] Adam: And you do.
[0:14:14 – 0:14:15] Adam: Hey, you know what I’m saying?
[0:14:16 – 0:14:22] Adam: You know, you scratch my back, I hike up your mountain.
[0:14:22 – 0:14:24] Erik: Bada bing, bada boom, Eric.
[0:14:24 – 0:14:26] Adam: You scratch my back, I hike up your mountain.
[0:14:26 – 0:14:26] Adam: All right.
[0:14:26 – 0:14:28] Adam: No, but seriously, give me the cash.
[0:14:28 – 0:14:29] Erik: You got the cash?
[0:14:30 – 0:14:32] Erik: I didn’t think that’s what we were here to do.
[0:14:32 – 0:14:32] Erik: We got a problem?
[0:14:33 – 0:14:35] Adam: Yes, it sounds like we have a problem.
[0:14:35 – 0:14:36] Adam: Here in the tumble shed.
[0:14:38 – 0:14:43] Adam: I’m going to give this an orthodox four out of five.
[0:14:44 – 0:14:45] Adam: Four out of five thunder holes.
[0:14:48 – 0:14:49] Adam: That’s a rock fact.
[0:14:50 – 0:14:53] Erik: Yeah, I’ll go eight out of ten shaky foxtails.
[0:14:55 – 0:14:57] Adam: Sashaying in the breeze.
[0:14:59 – 0:15:01] Adam: I don’t know if I can do any more East Coast accent.
[0:15:02 – 0:15:05] Adam: I think I might have worn out my East Coast accent there.
[0:15:05 – 0:15:05] Adam: Yeah?
[0:15:06 – 0:15:07] Adam: Just stripped it.
[0:15:07 – 0:15:09] Erik: Yeah, your tongue’s going to be sore tomorrow.
[0:15:10 – 0:15:13] Adam: Apologies to the guy on this old house.
[0:15:14 – 0:15:15] Adam: I don’t really think you look like a clown.
[0:15:16 – 0:15:16] Adam: You helped me.
[0:15:16 – 0:15:20] Adam: You really did help me, and I’m sorry for the hurtful things I said about your appearance.
[0:15:21 – 0:15:22] Adam: Thank you for your service.
[0:15:23 – 0:15:23] Adam: This old house.
[0:15:24 – 0:15:25] Adam: Proud sponsor of Tumble Home.
[0:15:26 – 0:15:30] Adam: For the last 14 years, they’ve been with us since the beginning.
[0:15:31 – 0:15:33] Adam: It’s a high-quality program, especially if you’re looking to fix your sink.
[0:15:34 – 0:15:36] Adam: Tell you what, the sink still isn’t fixed.
[0:15:37 – 0:15:38] Adam: There’s a lot of sewer gas coming in the house.
[0:15:38 – 0:15:44] Adam: It’s affecting my thinking, and I can’t remember where I put the glue or the primer, Eric.
[0:15:44 – 0:15:45] Adam: I don’t know what’s going on.
[0:15:45 – 0:15:50] Adam: Just pouring buckets of sink water out into the snow, whatever’s left of it.
[0:15:51 – 0:15:53] Adam: The damn freezing mist.
[0:15:54 – 0:15:54] Erik: Yeah.
[0:15:54 – 0:15:56] Erik: Damn freezing mist.
[0:15:56 – 0:15:56] Adam: Who cares?
[0:15:56 – 0:15:57] Adam: That’s all behind us.
[0:15:57 – 0:15:59] Adam: We got a wonderful evening planned here in the Tumble Shed.
[0:16:00 – 0:16:05] Adam: We got a lot of stories to read yet here on part three of the series.
[0:16:05 – 0:16:07] Erik: Six is a hopeful six.
[0:16:07 – 0:16:07] Erik: Could be seven.
[0:16:07 – 0:16:08] Adam: I think we’re still going to make six.
[0:16:09 – 0:16:09] Adam: You never know.
[0:16:09 – 0:16:11] Adam: We’re going to see how this plays out.
[0:16:11 – 0:16:12] Adam: Check back with me in February.
[0:16:13 – 0:16:13] Adam: See how we’re doing.
[0:16:14 – 0:16:14] Erik: Yeah.
[0:16:15 – 0:16:15] Adam: All right.
[0:16:17 – 0:16:18] Adam: So where do we leave off?
[0:16:18 – 0:16:20] Adam: Did you fix the power issue with the computer?
[0:16:20 – 0:16:21] Adam: Yeah, I guess.
[0:16:21 – 0:16:22] Adam: Does it boot it up?
[0:16:22 – 0:16:23] Adam: It just got too cold.
[0:16:24 – 0:16:25] Adam: You didn’t say the magic word.
[0:16:25 – 0:16:28] Adam: You didn’t say the magic word.
[0:16:29 – 0:16:32] Erik: I’m just scanning this next comment.
[0:16:32 – 0:16:33] Erik: I see Caddy Man.
[0:16:33 – 0:16:33] Erik: I see Ash again.
[0:16:34 – 0:16:35] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:16:35 – 0:16:38] Erik: Get your PR voice on.
[0:16:39 – 0:16:39] Erik: Ash again.

[0:17:15 – 0:17:17] Erik: A six-night voyage, yeah.
[0:17:18 – 0:17:21] Erik: That would definitely preclude you from being, that was a four-night trip.
[0:17:21 – 0:17:23] Adam: Yeah, I can’t handle six nights.
[0:17:24 – 0:17:25] Adam: I get the heartburn.
[0:17:26 – 0:17:27] Erik: I get the heartburn.
[0:17:28 – 0:17:30] Adam: Not enough Cobb salads for six nights.
[0:17:31 – 0:17:32] Adam: Next year, we’ll have Cobb salads.
[0:17:32 – 0:17:33] Erik: We will, yeah.
[0:17:33 – 0:17:35] Adam: Nobody’s mentioned Cobb salads yet.
[0:17:35 – 0:17:36] Adam: Future Cobbs.
[0:17:36 – 0:17:36] Adam: Hello.
[0:17:36 – 0:17:37] Adam: Cobb futures are bright.
[0:17:37 – 0:17:39] Adam: Anybody out there, anybody doing salads?
[0:17:40 – 0:17:41] Erik: Cobb Futures?
[0:17:41 – 0:17:44] Erik: Is that the leading candidate for this episode?
[0:17:45 – 0:17:45] Erik: I’m going to write it down.
[0:17:46 – 0:17:46] Adam: Cobb Futures.
[0:17:46 – 0:17:47] Adam: Or Lone Jogger.
[0:17:47 – 0:17:48] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:49] Adam: Lone Jogger.
[0:17:50 – 0:17:50] Adam: I got a new one.
[0:17:51 – 0:17:52] Adam: A new recipe I tried out.
[0:17:52 – 0:17:53] Adam: Kale Caesar.
[0:17:53 – 0:17:53] Adam: Cool.
[0:17:54 – 0:17:56] Erik: You made it a sentence into the first one.
[0:17:56 – 0:17:57] Erik: Kale Caesar.
[0:17:57 – 0:17:59] Adam: And we’re already off on a tangent.
[0:17:59 – 0:18:01] Adam: Real grind up the anchovies.
[0:18:02 – 0:18:03] Adam: You got to grind them up.
[0:18:03 – 0:18:05] Erik: What kind of a grinder are you using?
[0:18:05 – 0:18:07] Adam: Oh, RoboCoo 5800.
[0:18:07 – 0:18:08] Adam: Thing costs more than my car.
[0:18:09 – 0:18:11] Adam: You can pulverize anything down to a fine liquid.
[0:18:11 – 0:18:13] Erik: Your car is not worth much.
[0:18:13 – 0:18:15] Erik: Hey, my car still got a lot of miles ahead of it.
[0:18:15 – 0:18:15] Erik: What is that, a 96?
[0:18:15 – 0:18:16] Erik: What?
[0:18:16 – 0:18:17] Adam: What?
[0:18:18 – 0:18:18] Adam: 2004, Eric.
[0:18:19 – 0:18:21] Adam: They didn’t make the Pontiac 5 in 96.
[0:18:21 – 0:18:22] Erik: Oh, God.
[0:18:22 – 0:18:23] Erik: 96 is going to handle the Pontiac 5.
[0:18:23 – 0:18:24] Erik: That was eight years off.
[0:18:24 – 0:18:24] Erik: Oh, geez.
[0:18:24 – 0:18:25] Adam: Yeah, well, it’s a big deal.
[0:18:26 – 0:18:27] Adam: It’s almost 20 years old, though.
[0:18:28 – 0:18:29] Adam: That car has still got a lot of miles ahead of it.
[0:18:29 – 0:18:31] Erik: Are you going to get collector plates?
[0:18:33 – 0:18:34] Adam: Hey, you darn tootin’ I am.
[0:18:34 – 0:18:35] Erik: How much do those cost a year?
[0:18:36 – 0:18:39] Adam: They’re like 50 bucks, but then you don’t have to renew them after that.
[0:18:39 – 0:18:39] Adam: No tabs?
[0:18:39 – 0:18:40] Erik: Yeah, and you’re golden.
[0:18:40 – 0:18:42] Erik: Does it have to be 20 years or older?
[0:18:42 – 0:18:43] Adam: 20 years or older.
[0:18:44 – 0:18:45] Erik: That seems like they should expand that.
[0:18:46 – 0:18:46] Erik: 20 years old?
[0:18:46 – 0:18:47] Erik: You seen some of the cars out there?
[0:18:48 – 0:18:54] Erik: I could be driving around in a 2001 Dodge Intrepid and have collector plates on it.
[0:18:55 – 0:18:56] Erik: I drive a Dodge Stratus.
[0:18:57 – 0:18:58] Adam: Yeah, I guess he could.
[0:18:58 – 0:18:59] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:18:59 – 0:19:00] Adam: Is that really the rule?
[0:19:00 – 0:19:01] Adam: Maybe it is.
[0:19:01 – 0:19:02] Adam: Maybe they did expand it.
[0:19:02 – 0:19:03] Adam: Maybe it’s 25, 30 years.
[0:19:03 – 0:19:04] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:19:04 – 0:19:05] Erik: TumbleWarmCast at gmail.com.
[0:19:05 – 0:19:05] Erik: Seems extreme.
[0:19:05 – 0:19:07] Erik: Anybody out there working in the DMV?
[0:19:07 – 0:19:11] Adam: Yeah, like if I still had my old S10, I could have had collector’s plates on it now.
[0:19:11 – 0:19:12] Erik: Yeah, I guess at this point.
[0:19:12 – 0:19:15] Adam: The clutch went in the field and all the wheels fell off.
[0:19:15 – 0:19:17] Erik: I don’t even know what I’m listening to.
[0:19:17 – 0:19:18] Adam: I shouldn’t have taken it off the ramp.
[0:19:18 – 0:19:19] Adam: All right, back to the show.
[0:19:19 – 0:19:22] Erik: Let’s read one sentence and then talk about God knows what.
[0:19:22 – 0:19:22] Erik: Who knows?
[0:19:23 – 0:19:27] Erik: Oh, now they’re on S10 Wiki?
[0:19:27 – 0:19:27] Erik: What?
[0:19:30 – 0:19:32] Adam: Tell me about the plant it was built in.
[0:19:33 – 0:19:34] Adam: I want to know every detail.
[0:19:34 – 0:19:35] Erik: It starts in 1896.
[0:19:35 – 0:19:35] Erik: Flint, Michigan.
[0:19:38 – 0:19:39] Erik: Sorry, back to old canoe guy.
[0:19:39 – 0:19:49] Erik: With my beautiful bride and me was a 17-year-old, a 19-year-old, and a 20-year-old, two of whom we were legally responsible for.
[0:19:49 – 0:19:51] Erik: That’s scary.
[0:19:51 – 0:19:51] Erik: True.
[0:19:52 – 0:19:55] Erik: But after 17 years, you’re probably used to it, I would hope.
[0:19:56 – 0:19:57] Erik: Day one found us…
[0:19:58 – 0:20:04] Erik: found us finding a nice shady spot on Lake 4 after a short day of sun-soaked paddling.
[0:20:04 – 0:20:10] Erik: Day 2 found this 17-year-old discovering pack straps and sunburn are a bad combination.
[0:20:11 – 0:20:17] Erik: We moseyed on, blissfully ignoring the self-inflicted whining, and found a beach site on Insula.
[0:20:18 – 0:20:20] Erik: We laid over for three nights.
[0:20:21 – 0:20:22] Erik: Man, when was this?
[0:20:22 – 0:20:24] Erik: Maybe they were one of the folks out on Insula.
[0:20:24 – 0:20:24] Adam: Did you see us?
[0:20:25 – 0:20:25] Adam: Did we see you?
[0:20:25 – 0:20:26] Adam: Did we see you?
[0:20:27 – 0:20:32] Erik: during which time we got hit by two thunderstorms, one of which was a real gully washer.
[0:20:33 – 0:20:36] Erik: Ironic, given the summer’s dry and fiery nature.
[0:20:37 – 0:20:39] Erik: We had good luck catching walleye while fishing for bass.
[0:20:40 – 0:20:41] Erik: That’s always good luck.
[0:20:41 – 0:20:43] Adam: That’s a reverse-y.
[0:20:44 – 0:20:45] Erik: Better luck.
[0:20:45 – 0:20:46] Erik: Better lucky than good.
[0:20:48 – 0:20:52] Erik: Then we made our way to Thomas and found a nice site where it rained again for about an hour.
[0:20:52 – 0:20:54] Erik: Played cards and mini cornhole.
[0:20:55 – 0:20:56] Adam: Mini cornhole?
[0:20:56 – 0:20:57] Erik: Mini cornhole.
[0:20:58 – 0:20:59] Adam: Like how mini?
[0:20:59 – 0:21:01] Erik: Do you pack that along?
[0:21:02 – 0:21:03] Adam: How big is this bean bag?
[0:21:03 – 0:21:06] Erik: Or do you make it when you’re out there and just grab a rock?
[0:21:07 – 0:21:08] Adam: Yeah, or a pine cone.
[0:21:09 – 0:21:09] Erik: Pine cone would be good.
[0:21:10 – 0:21:10] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:10 – 0:21:10] Erik: Not too heavy.
[0:21:10 – 0:21:12] Adam: Got a good amount of slide and bounce.
[0:21:13 – 0:21:13] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[0:21:14 – 0:21:14] Erik: Yeah, picks.
[0:21:14 – 0:21:15] Erik: Good friction.
[0:21:15 – 0:21:16] Erik: We need some mini cornhole picks.
[0:21:17 – 0:21:18] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:18 – 0:21:21] Adam: What’s better, mini cornhole or chair disc golf?
[0:21:23 – 0:21:24] Erik: That remains to be seen.
[0:21:24 – 0:21:26] Adam: Or whatever, hammock, Beersbee.
[0:21:27 – 0:21:28] Erik: They also worked on a bag of wine.
[0:21:29 – 0:21:29] Adam: Hey!
[0:21:29 – 0:21:31] Erik: Our penultimate day.
[0:21:31 – 0:21:33] Adam: Oh, I like that word.
[0:21:34 – 0:21:35] Erik: Seems like a little bit of a…
[0:21:38 – 0:21:38] Erik: Yes, I like it.
[0:21:39 – 0:21:39] Erik: Moving on.
[0:21:40 – 0:21:44] Erik: We passed up some fine sights on Ima to head into Jordan.
[0:21:45 – 0:21:47] Erik: We saw the pictographs and got beat to a campsite by five minutes.
[0:21:48 – 0:21:50] Adam: Should have sent a scout party ahead.
[0:21:50 – 0:21:51] Erik: Yeah, lighten the load.
[0:21:52 – 0:21:59] Erik: However, we headed to the secluded south end and found the island campsite unoccupied.
[0:22:00 – 0:22:02] Erik: We watched industrious beavers at work.
[0:22:02 – 0:22:05] Erik: The adults finished various alcohols.
[0:22:06 – 0:22:10] Erik: and we sheltered under the rainfly from another 45-minute thunderstorm.
[0:22:10 – 0:22:19] Erik: Our last day, we headed out through Cattyman, Gibson, good old Ashigan, then ensign into Splash to our tow.
[0:22:20 – 0:22:21] Erik: Was this our trip?
[0:22:21 – 0:22:22] Erik: This was us.
[0:22:22 – 0:22:24] Adam: No, they didn’t go to Alice.
[0:22:24 – 0:22:25] Adam: They skipped Alice.
[0:22:25 – 0:22:27] Adam: They went straight up to Thomas.
[0:22:29 – 0:22:31] Adam: Ashigan, for the good times.
[0:22:33 – 0:22:43] Erik: At the portage from Cattyman to Gibson, I waited patiently while a trip leader took ten minutes to explain to a young scout how to adjust the straps on a pack for easier carrying.
[0:22:44 – 0:22:52] Erik: This, whilst standing in the center of the landing, while we tried to find room for our gear, another party of four canoes floated offshore.
[0:22:52 – 0:22:53] Adam: Just ram.
[0:22:54 – 0:22:55] Erik: Ram it.
[0:22:55 – 0:23:02] Erik: I was getting frustrated when I realized I was violating my cardinal rule at the BWCA.
[0:23:03 – 0:23:03] Erik: Never be in a hurry.
[0:23:04 – 0:23:05] Adam: Don’t be stressing.
[0:23:05 – 0:23:05] Erik: Yeah.
[0:23:06 – 0:23:14] Erik: We backed up a little, put our stuff to the side, had some snacks, waved the offshore party through, then moved on.
[0:23:15 – 0:23:20] Erik: We still got to our tow an hour and a half early, and God bless Canadian border outfitters.
[0:23:20 – 0:23:23] Erik: They came and got us when we got a signal and called.
[0:23:24 – 0:23:28] Erik: Spent the night at Grand Ely Lodge drinking old fashions while the young pups slept.
[0:23:29 – 0:23:30] Erik: Called it a trip.
[0:23:31 – 0:23:31] Adam: Old fashion.
[0:23:32 – 0:23:33] Adam: Brandy sweet.
[0:23:34 – 0:23:35] Adam: Whiskey sour.
[0:23:35 – 0:23:37] Adam: I like the old fashion.
[0:23:37 – 0:23:38] Adam: It’s so versatile.
[0:23:38 – 0:23:39] Erik: It is.
[0:23:39 – 0:23:40] Adam: The whole series on the old fashion.
[0:23:40 – 0:23:42] Erik: The whole old fashion series.
[0:23:42 – 0:23:43] Erik: Now I’m plugged in.
[0:23:43 – 0:23:43] Erik: Ash again.
[0:23:44 – 0:23:45] Erik: It’s harder to turn this thing.
[0:23:45 – 0:23:47] Erik: Let’s hope the screen doesn’t go black again.
[0:23:47 – 0:23:48] Adam: Just give us your burgers and nobody gets hurt.
[0:23:50 – 0:23:50] Erik: I am the Hamburglar.
[0:23:50 – 0:23:52] Adam: It looks like we got 64%.
[0:23:52 – 0:23:52] Adam: Should be good.
[0:23:58 – 0:23:59] Adam: Wow, here we go.
[0:23:59 – 0:24:04] Adam: Squarejaw77, sponsor and friend of the show.
[0:24:04 – 0:24:06] Adam: Cheers.
[0:24:06 – 0:24:06] Adam: Woo.
[0:24:07 – 0:24:09] Adam: Ven, ven, ven, ven.
[0:24:09 – 0:24:09] Adam: Ven.
[0:24:09 – 0:24:10] Adam: All right.
[0:24:15 – 0:24:18] Adam: I haven’t been this excited in quite some time.
[0:24:18 – 0:24:23] Adam: This looks like a real one here.
[0:24:23 – 0:24:25] Adam: I’m glad I’m sharp tonight.
[0:24:25 – 0:24:26] Adam: Part three of seven.
[0:24:28 – 0:24:31] Adam: Squarejaw, friend of the show, 77, hello.
[0:24:31 – 0:24:33] Adam: This year was a real hoot of a time.
[0:24:34 – 0:24:36] Adam: I did two trips and both very different.
[0:24:37 – 0:24:41] Adam: First trip was early August and was a quick three-day trip to Duncan.
[0:24:42 – 0:24:48] Adam: I planned this one with my 75-year-old mother, my two brothers, their significant others, and two kids.
[0:24:49 – 0:24:52] Adam: That’s nine people total, two dogs, and four canoes.
[0:24:53 – 0:24:55] Adam: That sounds like a Duncan trip.
[0:24:55 – 0:24:55] Erik: Maxing it.
[0:24:56 – 0:24:58] Adam: It was a real S show.
[0:24:59 – 0:25:00] Adam: Saved you the bleep.
[0:25:01 – 0:25:03] Adam: There’s no loons to bleep in the winter, by the way.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:03] Adam: You can’t.
[0:25:04 – 0:25:04] Adam: No.
[0:25:04 – 0:25:06] Adam: A real S show out there.
[0:25:06 – 0:25:08] Erik: A real pileated woodpecker show.
[0:25:08 – 0:25:13] Adam: I booked with Clearwater, and a week prior to heading to the park, Eric separated from his job there.
[0:25:13 – 0:25:15] Adam: I was saddened and concerned.
[0:25:15 – 0:25:19] Adam: However, I got to meet up with Eric at Voyager Brewing Company in Grand Marais.
[0:25:19 – 0:25:20] Adam: Is that how you say it?
[0:25:20 – 0:25:20] Adam: Yeah.
[0:25:21 – 0:25:22] Adam: That was darn cool.
[0:25:22 – 0:25:29] Adam: The purpose of this particular trip was to get my mom into the BWCA one more time and get both brothers together as well.
[0:25:29 – 0:25:32] Adam: We hadn’t all been in the park together for about 30 years.
[0:25:33 – 0:25:41] Adam: We got an early start but barely managed to grab a two-star campsite on Duncan with a treacherous landing and a mountain climb to the Thunder Mug.
[0:25:42 – 0:25:45] Adam: Rose Falls was great, but there was a ton of people.
[0:25:46 – 0:25:51] Adam: I don’t think I will visit Duncan Lake or Rose Falls again, except for maybe on day trips.
[0:25:52 – 0:25:57] Adam: I heard from people that they were doubling up on campsites, and some people didn’t find one at all.
[0:25:58 – 0:26:01] Adam: Overall, it was a good trip, but nine people is a lot.
[0:26:03 – 0:26:08] Adam: The second trip was originally going to be Lac La Croix via Nina Moose, but fires stopped that.
[0:26:09 – 0:26:16] Adam: About a week prior to the closure, I booked a permit on SAG just in case, and secured a room at Voyager Outfitting as well.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:19] Adam: That turned out to be a very smart plan.
[0:26:19 – 0:26:25] Adam: We got a tow to American Point and went to Otter Track, South Arm, Hanson, Esther, and Ashtick.
[0:26:26 – 0:26:27] Adam: You can’t trust us.
[0:26:28 – 0:26:29] Adam: Hashtag.
[0:26:29 – 0:26:30] Adam: You can’t trust us.
[0:26:30 – 0:26:30] Adam: Never.
[0:26:31 – 0:26:32] Adam: Don’t even think about it.
[0:26:35 – 0:26:38] Adam: This seems like it was cooked up by a 70s marketing firm for McDonald’s.
[0:26:39 – 0:26:41] Adam: Why do you have a villain lake?
[0:26:41 – 0:26:42] Adam: It doesn’t make any sense.
[0:26:42 – 0:26:46] Erik: Ash Dick, he only speaks in gibberish.
[0:26:46 – 0:26:48] Erik: Skin Dance has to translate.
[0:26:49 – 0:26:50] Adam: Give me your walleye.
[0:26:51 – 0:26:51] Adam: Jesus.
[0:26:52 – 0:26:53] Adam: He’s the walleye burglar.
[0:26:53 – 0:26:54] Adam: Give me your walleye.
[0:26:55 – 0:27:01] Adam: We stopped at the old Benny Ambrose homestead and plaque, but I couldn’t convince the crew to make a stop at Dorothy’s.
[0:27:01 – 0:27:05] Adam: It was so frigging windy the whole time, which really pushed us to our limit.
[0:27:05 – 0:27:12] Adam: The interesting thing about this trip is that because of the John Eck fire, they sent rangers into the park to close it down on Saturday.
[0:27:13 – 0:27:17] Adam: Our trip started the previous Thursday, and we planned to be in until Tuesday.
[0:27:17 – 0:27:23] Adam: I’m not sure how we managed it, but after that Saturday, we didn’t see one person and had no clue the park was closed.
[0:27:24 – 0:27:32] Adam: When our tow picked us up on Tuesday, he asked if we were leaving earlier if this was our scheduled pickup time, and we were confused as to why anyone would leave early.
[0:27:33 – 0:27:34] Adam: That’s when he told us about the closure.
[0:27:35 – 0:27:43] Adam: He told us that there were probably some of the last people in the park, and only knew of one other fella that was on a long solo trip that was still out there somewhere.
[0:27:45 – 0:27:46] Erik: One other fella.
[0:27:46 – 0:27:48] Adam: I was amazed with the campsite selection.
[0:27:48 – 0:27:51] Adam: We had enjoyed having entire lakes to ourselves.
[0:27:52 – 0:27:57] Adam: A highlight of that trip was that I caught a trout from our campsite on Hanson with a little Cleo.
[0:27:57 – 0:28:00] Adam: In the middle of August, that was a real treat.
[0:28:00 – 0:28:05] Adam: Between the two trips, I introduced four newbies, of which at least one has vowed never to return.
[0:28:05 – 0:28:05] Adam: Ha!
[0:28:08 – 0:28:09] Erik: That took a twist.
[0:28:09 – 0:28:09] Adam: I liked it.
[0:28:09 – 0:28:10] Erik: Never to return.
[0:28:11 – 0:28:17] Adam: I have learned that I have grand ambitions for travel each year, and now my wife has permanently vetoed my chosen routes.
[0:28:18 – 0:28:18] Adam: Oh, well.
[0:28:19 – 0:28:22] Adam: It is still fun and amazing to be in the woods.
[0:28:22 – 0:28:24] Adam: Time to start planning for next year.
[0:28:24 – 0:28:30] Adam: I’m aggressively pushing the idea of Wabakimi with my wife, and she is not quite on board yet.
[0:28:30 – 0:28:31] Adam: Wish me luck.
[0:28:31 – 0:28:32] Adam: Good luck, sir.
[0:28:32 – 0:28:32] Adam: Good luck.
[0:28:33 – 0:28:34] Adam: Yeah, it’s great.
[0:28:34 – 0:28:34] Adam: Wabakimi?
[0:28:35 – 0:28:36] Erik: No Quetico, though?
[0:28:37 – 0:28:40] Erik: That seems like the next logical step.
[0:28:40 – 0:28:41] Adam: Epilogue.
[0:28:41 – 0:28:42] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:28:42 – 0:28:43] Adam: Bobby and Rex sightings?
[0:28:44 – 0:28:49] Adam: I saw an interesting trace left behind by what must have been a very creative kid.
[0:28:50 – 0:28:54] Adam: It was some sort of diorama on a Saginaga campsite.
[0:28:55 – 0:29:01] Adam: It had two buildings made of bark, entrance gates made of twigs, paved walkways, etc.,
[0:29:02 – 0:29:03] Adam: It was quite complex.
[0:29:04 – 0:29:05] Adam: I really didn’t hate it.
[0:29:05 – 0:29:10] Adam: Other than that, just some stupid things like a broom made with pine needles and duct tape.
[0:29:12 – 0:29:13] Adam: That was very nice.
[0:29:13 – 0:29:16] Adam: I don’t understand how that only had five boxes of wine.
[0:29:17 – 0:29:18] Adam: Very good comment.
[0:29:18 – 0:29:30] Adam: And I’m not just saying that because I’m drinking this delicious Venn Brewing Company massive beer the size of an entire island on Saginaga.
[0:29:30 – 0:29:33] Erik: The size of one of the Hamburglar’s biceps.
[0:29:34 – 0:29:37] Adam: He gets the biceps because he’s stealing so many hamburgers.
[0:29:38 – 0:29:38] Adam: Very strong.
[0:29:39 – 0:29:40] Erik: Stealing them real quick.
[0:29:43 – 0:29:46] Adam: Is he more known for speed or for strength, the Hamburglar?
[0:29:47 – 0:29:49] Erik: Probably just stealthiness.
[0:29:50 – 0:29:52] Erik: Wearing that bandit costume.
[0:29:52 – 0:29:55] Adam: Silk-lined cape, but he also has silk-lined slippers.
[0:29:56 – 0:30:01] Erik: He’s also just dressed in the uniform you get administered to you when you go to jail.
[0:30:01 – 0:30:03] Adam: Yeah, just pre-dressed for jail.
[0:30:04 – 0:30:05] Erik: Seems pretty suspicious.
[0:30:05 – 0:30:06] Adam: Cat burglary.
[0:30:06 – 0:30:07] Adam: Yeah, he’s not going with camo.
[0:30:08 – 0:30:08] Erik: No, no, no.
[0:30:08 – 0:30:09] Adam: Stripes.
[0:30:09 – 0:30:11] Erik: I’m not an ex-convict.
[0:30:11 – 0:30:13] Erik: I just got done reffing a football game.
[0:30:14 – 0:30:15] Erik: From head to toe.
[0:30:16 – 0:30:17] Erik: Hiking stick.
[0:30:17 – 0:30:18] Erik: First time?
[0:30:19 – 0:30:20] Adam: First time commenter.
[0:30:21 – 0:30:21] Erik: Long time?
[0:30:22 – 0:30:23] Adam: Always.
[0:30:23 – 0:30:24] Adam: Always long time.
[0:30:26 – 0:30:27] Erik: That’s one word.
[0:30:28 – 0:30:29] Erik: Hiking stick.
[0:30:33 – 0:30:42] Erik: When I finally got the family to commit to a trip and we found a week that would work with everyone’s schedule, I found that there were no available permits for anywhere we could enter.
[0:30:44 – 0:30:45] Erik: The kids wanted to see Johnson Falls.
[0:30:47 – 0:30:47] Erik: Don’t we all?
[0:30:47 – 0:30:48] Erik: Don’t we all?
[0:30:49 – 0:30:59] Erik: There were even so many permits out for Crocodile Lake in the days preceding our potential trip that I was concerned we’d have nowhere to camp if we’d take that permit.
[0:31:01 – 0:31:02] Erik: Sorry, if we did take that permit.
[0:31:03 – 0:31:07] Erik: So, yeah, there’s a bunch of Crocodile Lake permits that were taken up preceding your entry date.
[0:31:08 – 0:31:09] Erik: It’s not a good sign.
[0:31:09 – 0:31:15] Erik: No, not a good sign, especially when it’s a lake that you get a permit for that you have to camp on.
[0:31:15 – 0:31:15] Adam: Right, right.
[0:31:17 – 0:31:23] Erik: I’m hoping to get the crew up there early next season, but I already know what’s going to happen.
[0:31:24 – 0:31:30] Erik: One son is graduating from high school, another one is graduating from college, and another one is graduating from hamburger tech.
[0:31:30 – 0:31:31] Erik: No, sorry.
[0:31:31 – 0:31:33] Adam: Fighting hamburgers.
[0:31:34 – 0:31:35] Erik: Is getting married in Texas.
[0:31:36 – 0:31:38] Erik: I’ll be lucky if I get up there solo.
[0:31:39 – 0:31:41] Erik: Well, enjoy all of those things.
[0:31:42 – 0:31:44] Erik: The Boundary Waters is always, well…
[0:31:45 – 0:32:06] Erik: will potentially always be there it’s not going anywhere anytime soon your son is only going to graduate high school and college once and hopefully the other one is only going to get married once so those things i think trump a full-blown boundary waters trip
[0:32:07 – 0:32:10] Adam: Yeah, I’m sure there’s some good rivers you can paddle in Texas.
[0:32:10 – 0:32:23] Erik: Yeah, I mean, generally, Texas can go blow itself, but, you know, you’ve got some family involved, and I’m sure it’ll be fine.
[0:32:24 – 0:32:27] Erik: I’ll never go back to Texas, but that’s me.
[0:32:29 – 0:32:31] Adam: No, I wish Texas would get kicked out.
[0:32:31 – 0:32:32] Adam: Just kicked out?
[0:32:32 – 0:32:33] Adam: Kick them out.
[0:32:33 – 0:32:34] Adam: We don’t need them.
[0:32:34 – 0:32:37] Erik: Is that the next one on your demands?
[0:32:37 – 0:32:38] Adam: Yeah.
[0:32:38 – 0:32:39] Adam: Demand number eight.
[0:32:40 – 0:32:42] Erik: Kick Texas out of here.
[0:32:43 – 0:32:53] Adam: They take in like $18 of my tax money for every dollar they contribute because they don’t have taxes, but they also just suck up all the federal contracts.
[0:32:54 – 0:32:55] Adam: They’re a bunch of moochers.
[0:32:55 – 0:32:56] Adam: Let’s face it.
[0:32:56 – 0:32:58] Adam: Texas, you suck.
[0:32:58 – 0:33:07] Adam: All the money up out of the coffers, and you don’t pay anything in, and I don’t care if you have the economy of Poland and Guatemala put together.
[0:33:08 – 0:33:09] Adam: You’re a bunch of moochers.
[0:33:09 – 0:33:10] Adam: Pay your fair share.
[0:33:10 – 0:33:12] Erik: Can’t handle a light ice storm.
[0:33:12 – 0:33:14] Erik: We got to pump down some of our power.
[0:33:15 – 0:33:20] Adam: Hey, keep your grubby, sandy hands off our water.
[0:33:21 – 0:33:22] Erik: Sandy hands.
[0:33:23 – 0:33:24] Adam: That’s how I picture Texas.
[0:33:25 – 0:33:26] Erik: Everybody’s just all covered in sand.
[0:33:26 – 0:33:29] Adam: Covered in sand all the time and burgers.
[0:33:30 – 0:33:31] Erik: Surveyor.
[0:33:31 – 0:33:31] Erik: Burgers.
[0:33:31 – 0:33:32] Adam: Burgers and sand.
[0:33:32 – 0:33:32] Adam: Burglar.
[0:33:32 – 0:33:36] Adam: The Hamburglar probably operates mostly in Texas, if I had to guess.
[0:33:36 – 0:33:37] Erik: Easy pickings down there.
[0:33:37 – 0:33:38] Adam: So many burgers to grab.
[0:33:39 – 0:33:39] Erik: Yep.
[0:33:42 – 0:33:44] Erik: Surveyor 909.
[0:33:45 – 0:33:49] Adam: Probably more burgers per capita in Texas than anywhere.
[0:33:50 – 0:33:55] Adam: Yeah, I would say King Ganga probably lives in Texas, if I had to guess.
[0:33:55 – 0:33:56] Erik: King Ganga.
[0:33:56 – 0:34:01] Adam: King Ganga down there in the Rio Grande just feasting on burgers.
[0:34:01 – 0:34:02] Adam: No, Grimace’s.
[0:34:03 – 0:34:05] Adam: Does the king of the grimaces eat grimaces?
[0:34:05 – 0:34:09] Adam: I imagine if you were… Or is he tasting burgers with his taste buds?
[0:34:10 – 0:34:13] Adam: King of the grimaces, does that mean he’s like a full tongue?
[0:34:13 – 0:34:15] Erik: Full tongue, yeah.
[0:34:15 – 0:34:18] Adam: King Ganga, the tongue king.
[0:34:18 – 0:34:18] Erik: The full tongue.
[0:34:19 – 0:34:22] Adam: Oh, he’ll lick your burgers right up off the sand, Texas.
[0:34:22 – 0:34:23] Erik: I think if you…
[0:34:23 – 0:34:26] Erik: So if you were to like thinly slice a grimace, would he look like a beet?
[0:34:28 – 0:34:54] Erik: then yeah for sure absolutely organs he’s just one solid thing yeah it looks kind of like an agate on the inside oh yeah layers a purpley like sliced beet agate yeah exactly doesn’t bleed it kind of drips a little bit yeah you don’t want to get that it’s like the purple primer on the plumbing you don’t want to get that on your cabinets no you’re never getting it out that is honestly how this whole conversation started
[0:34:57 – 0:34:59] Adam: It all comes back full circuit.
[0:34:59 – 0:35:00] Adam: It always does here on Tumble Home.
[0:35:01 – 0:35:01] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:01 – 0:35:04] Erik: Even a week later, we still remember that conversation we were having last week.
[0:35:04 – 0:35:06] Adam: That’s why they pay us the big bucks.
[0:35:06 – 0:35:08] Adam: Even since Trevor and left.
[0:35:09 – 0:35:10] Erik: Screw that guy.
[0:35:10 – 0:35:11] Adam: We still got our own notebooks.
[0:35:11 – 0:35:15] Adam: We can keep track of our conversations and what’s going on.
[0:35:16 – 0:35:18] Adam: We know what we’re talking about at all times.
[0:35:19 – 0:35:19] Adam: Anyways.
[0:35:22 – 0:35:50] Erik: surveyor 909 one after 909 oh boy have you uh yeah i’m sure you’ve heard of it i’m have you seen any of the uh beatles documentary no no it’s maybe the best music documentary i’ve ever seen wow it is a it’s like eight hours long but totally worth it what’s it on disney plus did you say that already
[0:35:51 – 0:35:51] Erik: Maybe.
[0:35:51 – 0:35:52] Erik: I don’t remember.
[0:35:53 – 0:36:10] Erik: It’s just incredible to watch the music writing process and also to know that Peter Jackson had to sift through all of the video and audio from the making of the album Let It Be, which was originally called Get Back.
[0:36:11 – 0:36:23] Adam: It’s a good thing we’re videotaping every show we record so then Peter Jackson can eventually sift through that to still it down to what is the true essence of Tumulam on Disney+.
[0:36:23 – 0:36:29] Adam: Coming to you live in 2042 when my son graduates from his free education.
[0:36:29 – 0:36:33] Adam: That’s going to be great because we’re actually going to invest in education again.
[0:36:33 – 0:36:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:36:34 – 0:36:35] Erik: Good luck with that.
[0:36:35 – 0:36:36] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:36:36 – 0:36:38] Adam: I have great faith in this country.
[0:36:38 – 0:36:44] Erik: Well, either way, I highly recommend if you’re listening at home, you probably have heard of it, I’m sure.
[0:36:44 – 0:36:45] Erik: It’s amazing.
[0:36:45 – 0:36:46] Erik: I loved it.
[0:36:46 – 0:36:48] Erik: I want to put it on again.
[0:36:49 – 0:36:50] Adam: Wow, all right.
[0:36:50 – 0:36:54] Adam: I mean, I’ve heard of it, but I’m not urged to put it on.
[0:36:55 – 0:36:58] Adam: It’s freaking amazing.
[0:36:58 – 0:36:59] Adam: Is it eight hours all in one run?
[0:37:00 – 0:37:01] Erik: It’s three different episodes.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:03] Erik: The first one’s like two and a half.
[0:37:03 – 0:37:04] Erik: The second one’s like three.
[0:37:04 – 0:37:06] Adam: It’s like a six-part series.
[0:37:06 – 0:37:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:37:07 – 0:37:07] Erik: Perfect.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:11] Erik: At a certain point, you do just need to be like, okay.
[0:37:12 – 0:37:21] Erik: We just need to stop because this is three hours of uninterrupted, like unaffected.
[0:37:21 – 0:37:23] Erik: There’s no narrators.
[0:37:23 – 0:37:28] Erik: There’s some like subtitles to say like, this is where we’re at in the process.
[0:37:28 – 0:37:33] Erik: There’s a really, they use a calendar, like just, just very simply done.
[0:37:33 – 0:37:35] Erik: They use a calendar to say, this is where we’re at.
[0:37:36 – 0:37:37] Erik: This is where we’re,
[0:37:37 – 0:37:43] Erik: Hopefully, we need to be by a certain time and days get crossed off so you can kind of keep track.
[0:37:43 – 0:37:54] Erik: But just the process of essentially them writing an album in about a month and the whole time knowing…
[0:37:55 – 0:37:57] Adam: What the final product is going to be.
[0:37:57 – 0:38:01] Erik: Well, no, not necessarily that, but them knowing that it’s their last album they’re ever going to work on.
[0:38:02 – 0:38:03] Erik: Why’d they know that?
[0:38:03 – 0:38:10] Erik: Because you can just… You get the sense from the way… Because there’s leases running out on recording studios.
[0:38:11 – 0:38:11] Erik: There’s like…
[0:38:12 – 0:38:27] Erik: active conversations between multiple members of the band saying I want to try and do my own thing and like you can just you know it’s basically the last thing like there’s a whole conversation about like what are we doing all we do is write albums it’s the same old thing every time like
[0:38:28 – 0:38:43] Erik: And then they haven’t been performing live for multiple years and the whole conversation that revolves around basically how they ended up doing the live performance on the rooftop of the Apple studio or the recording studio or wherever that they were practicing.
[0:38:44 – 0:38:45] Erik: But just the basic…
[0:38:46 – 0:39:07] Erik: way that some of the songs some of the most like intense and like classic beatle songs to watch them go from just the kernel of an idea to a fully fledged like i’ve never seen something like you get like an hour and a half to a two-hour music documentary yeah about anybody
[0:39:07 – 0:39:08] Erik: And you think it’s enough.
[0:39:09 – 0:39:11] Erik: And you would think on its face like, well, eight hours.
[0:39:11 – 0:39:12] Adam: How could you watch eight hours?
[0:39:12 – 0:39:23] Erik: But it’s eight hours of like the creative process and the dynamics of four very talented people with their egos at this point trying to put together something that still ends up turning out amazing.
[0:39:24 – 0:39:25] Erik: Basically out of thin air.
[0:39:26 – 0:39:27] Erik: It’s kind of crazy.
[0:39:27 – 0:39:31] Erik: And it really speaks to just how hard it is to write a good song at the end of the day.
[0:39:32 – 0:39:34] Erik: Makes me appreciate music even more.
[0:39:35 – 0:39:35] Adam: All right.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:36] Adam: I’m in.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:37] Erik: Have I sold you?
[0:39:37 – 0:39:38] Adam: Yeah, I’m in.
[0:39:38 – 0:39:38] Adam: Okay.
[0:39:39 – 0:39:39] Adam: All right.
[0:39:39 – 0:39:41] Adam: I got the whole day off tomorrow.
[0:39:41 – 0:39:41] Adam: Forget ice fishing.
[0:39:43 – 0:39:52] Erik: Surveyor 909, just because you put those numbers together, you jogged my memory on the Beatles documentary, was a memorable year.
[0:39:53 – 0:39:57] Erik: Scheduled the permits on day one of availability for Brule.
[0:39:58 – 0:40:06] Erik: The trip was to be in mid-September, the first for my wife, our two-year-old and five-year-old sons, and two close friends of ours.
[0:40:08 – 0:40:15] Erik: As summer wore on, fire bans and eventually park closure made it seem as if it wasn’t meant to be.
[0:40:16 – 0:40:21] Erik: But miraculously, two weeks before our trip, the park reopened and off we went.
[0:40:21 – 0:40:26] Erik: We rented most of our gear from Sawbill, they were awesome, and had three amazing days on Brule.
[0:40:27 – 0:40:30] Erik: We got the number one campsite I had hoped for.
[0:40:31 – 0:40:36] Erik: One I had stayed at the year before with my normal B-Dub buddies on the large island east of the Put-In.
[0:40:37 – 0:40:38] Erik: We…
[0:40:39 – 0:40:42] Erik: We saw no one for the entire stay.
[0:40:42 – 0:40:44] Erik: I taught my five-year-old how to cast.
[0:40:45 – 0:40:50] Erik: We caught no fish, likely because of the amount of excited screaming on shore that accompanied every cast.
[0:40:51 – 0:40:52] Erik: From me, not the kid.
[0:40:53 – 0:40:54] Erik: That would be amazing.
[0:40:54 – 0:40:55] Adam: If it was the opposite.
[0:40:55 – 0:40:56] Erik: Way to go!
[0:40:58 – 0:41:16] Erik: great cast had wonderful adventures in camp and in the canoe after three days in the wilderness we departed the lake after a perfect morning with fog rising off of the lake we spent three more days in a cabin at the end of the gunflint trail at voyager an amazing host highly recommended
[0:41:17 – 0:41:28] Erik: Other than one windy day with a panicked wife on the Seagull River where a hat was lost and I was threatened with divorce if we flipped the canoe, it was a perfect trip for all.
[0:41:29 – 0:41:31] Adam: If we don’t get my lucky hat back.
[0:41:32 – 0:41:33] Adam: God damn it, Dan.
[0:41:33 – 0:41:33] Adam: You’re divorced.
[0:41:33 – 0:41:34] Adam: My lucky hat.
[0:41:34 – 0:41:35] Adam: We have to go back.
[0:41:37 – 0:41:38] Erik: Well, thanks for the response.
[0:41:38 – 0:41:44] Erik: That sounds like a great Surveyor 909, a great opportunity.
[0:41:44 – 0:41:52] Erik: That turned into, like, I love the three days on the water and then kind of a three-day… Yeah, a little cabin vacation after.
[0:41:52 – 0:41:54] Erik: Yeah, that’s nice for everybody.
[0:41:54 – 0:41:55] Adam: Got running water and everything.
[0:41:55 – 0:41:55] Adam: Look at this.
[0:41:56 – 0:42:01] Adam: Next up on the show, SamSquanch22.
[0:42:02 – 0:42:04] Adam: Four boxes of wine.
[0:42:04 – 0:42:12] Adam: I completed three out of four adventures to the B-Dub this summer with the big trip, Knife Lake, being canceled due to the fires.
[0:42:13 – 0:42:14] Adam: Due to the fires.
[0:42:14 – 0:42:14] Adam: Due to the fires.
[0:42:14 – 0:42:15] Adam: Due to the fires.
[0:42:17 – 0:42:18] Erik: I forgot about due to the fires.
[0:42:18 – 0:42:19] Erik: Due to the fires.
[0:42:19 – 0:42:20] Erik: Due to the fires.
[0:42:20 – 0:42:26] Adam: Spent four nights doing my first solo of the Granite River on my birthday over May 14th.
[0:42:27 – 0:42:27] Adam: Epic.
[0:42:27 – 0:42:30] Adam: I’m tempted to do one solo per year now.
[0:42:30 – 0:42:35] Adam: Didn’t see a human until SAG, but we did see a cow and a calf moose.
[0:42:36 – 0:42:37] Adam: At the devil’s elbow.
[0:42:37 – 0:42:38] Adam: At the devil’s elbow.
[0:42:39 – 0:42:45] Adam: Mandy, Eva, and then I base camped on Parent over the 4th of July for a few nights.
[0:42:46 – 0:42:50] Adam: We’ve spent the 4th of July in the BWCA four years in a row now.
[0:42:51 – 0:42:52] Adam: It’s a beautiful thing.
[0:42:52 – 0:42:56] Adam: Nice to get away from the crowds and the dog appreciates the firework band.
[0:42:57 – 0:42:59] Adam: Nice sight on the northern peninsula.
[0:42:59 – 0:43:02] Adam: Fourth of July AM radio is always a party.
[0:43:03 – 0:43:07] Adam: In mid-July, we brought seven great friends.
[0:43:08 – 0:43:09] Adam: And hold on, hold on.
[0:43:10 – 0:43:11] Adam: Seven great friends.
[0:43:11 – 0:43:11] Adam: It’s rolling.
[0:43:12 – 0:43:13] Adam: Got to get that cursor out of the way.
[0:43:14 – 0:43:19] Adam: BWCA versions from all over the US for a three-nighter on Clearwater.
[0:43:20 – 0:43:21] Adam: Nobody wanted to leave.
[0:43:21 – 0:43:22] Adam: Successful trip.
[0:43:22 – 0:43:25] Adam: A lot of work pre, during, and post.
[0:43:26 – 0:43:31] Adam: We learned that it is a lot easier to plan prep for a solo trip versus a nine-person trip.
[0:43:32 – 0:43:39] Adam: Moving forward, we’ll probably limit group size to six people max, and we really don’t want to prep for that much for a trip ever again.
[0:43:39 – 0:43:42] Erik: Although, we’re glad we did it once.
[0:43:43 – 0:43:43] Adam: Yes.
[0:43:47 – 0:43:50] Erik: Happy belated birthday, Sam Squanch, 22.
[0:43:53 – 0:43:53] Erik: May 14th.
[0:43:54 – 0:43:56] Adam: Way back then.
[0:43:56 – 0:43:58] Erik: Happy belated or pre.
[0:43:58 – 0:44:00] Erik: Hey, happy birthday coming up.
[0:44:00 – 0:44:02] Adam: I think we’re closer to your 38th now.
[0:44:02 – 0:44:03] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:44:03 – 0:44:05] Erik: I wish it was May 14th right now.
[0:44:05 – 0:44:07] Erik: Time marches on.
[0:44:12 – 0:44:14] Erik: December rain.
[0:44:16 – 0:44:16] Adam: Loving it.
[0:44:17 – 0:44:18] Adam: It’s more of a frozen mist.
[0:44:19 – 0:44:22] Adam: You can hear it out there on the shed roof right now.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:23] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:44:23 – 0:44:23] Erik: We are weak.
[0:44:23 – 0:44:24] Erik: What ended up happening?
[0:44:24 – 0:44:27] Erik: Was it a rain or was it freezing mist?
[0:44:27 – 0:44:28] Adam: It’s still going.
[0:44:28 – 0:44:28] Adam: Never going away.
[0:44:29 – 0:44:32] Adam: Just in a continuous Alberta clipper down here.
[0:44:35 – 0:44:36] Adam: Happy Thanksgiving.
[0:44:36 – 0:44:37] Adam: Merry Christmas.
[0:44:37 – 0:44:38] Adam: Who knows what day it is?
[0:44:42 – 0:44:42] Erik: Not good night.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:43] Erik: Good morning.
[0:44:44 – 0:44:46] Erik: From the big sag.
[0:44:46 – 0:44:47] Adam: Arrivederci.
[0:44:49 – 0:44:50] Erik: Oh.
[0:44:51 – 0:44:52] Erik: Never mind.
[0:44:52 – 0:44:53] Erik: Distracted loon.
[0:44:53 – 0:44:54] Erik: Sorry.
[0:44:55 – 0:44:55] Adam: Easy, easy.
[0:44:56 – 0:44:57] Erik: Easy, buddy.
[0:44:57 – 0:44:57] Adam: Easy.
[0:44:57 – 0:44:58] Adam: I was not pre-scrolled.
[0:44:59 – 0:44:59] Erik: Not pre-scrolled?
[0:44:59 – 0:45:00] Erik: You didn’t pre-scroll me.
[0:45:00 – 0:45:02] Erik: Distracted underscore loon.
[0:45:02 – 0:45:03] Erik: Two of three trips planned.
[0:45:03 – 0:45:04] Erik: Canceled.
[0:45:05 – 0:45:05] Erik: Sorry.
[0:45:05 – 0:45:06] Erik: Wait, what?
[0:45:06 – 0:45:09] Erik: Two of three planned trips completed.
[0:45:12 – 0:45:13] Erik: This old brain of mine.
[0:45:15 – 0:45:18] Erik: Including my first solo after my plant.
[0:45:18 – 0:45:19] Erik: This is the one.
[0:45:19 – 0:45:19] Adam: I just read this.
[0:45:20 – 0:45:21] Adam: What?
[0:45:21 – 0:45:22] Adam: You two-scrolled.
[0:45:22 – 0:45:23] Adam: You went backwards.
[0:45:24 – 0:45:27] Adam: This is like what happens if you don’t have a proper P-trap in your plumbing.
[0:45:28 – 0:45:30] Adam: You end up getting vapor-locked, Eric.
[0:45:31 – 0:45:33] Adam: You underscrolled it.
[0:45:33 – 0:45:33] Adam: Go back.
[0:45:34 – 0:45:34] Adam: Go down.
[0:45:34 – 0:45:36] Adam: That’s the one I just read.
[0:45:37 – 0:45:38] Erik: No, you just read Sam Squanch.
[0:45:38 – 0:45:40] Adam: Yeah, but isn’t that what I just read?
[0:45:40 – 0:45:42] Adam: Seriously, are their stories the same?
[0:45:42 – 0:45:49] Erik: I completed three out of four adventures, Sam Squanch, Distracted Loon, two of three planned trips completed.
[0:45:49 – 0:45:50] Adam: Okay.
[0:45:51 – 0:45:52] Adam: I stand corrected.
[0:45:52 – 0:45:52] Erik: You do.
[0:45:52 – 0:45:55] Erik: You sit corrected like an idiot.
[0:45:55 – 0:45:57] Erik: I can’t even see the screen right now.
[0:45:57 – 0:45:58] Adam: Who am I to judge?
[0:45:58 – 0:46:09] Erik: Distracted Loon, two of three planned trips completed, including my first solo after my planned companion failed to notify his wife early enough.
[0:46:10 – 0:46:10] Erik: Okay.
[0:46:11 – 0:46:12] Adam: Sounds like a rough discussion.
[0:46:12 – 0:46:14] Adam: No bueno.
[0:46:14 – 0:46:17] Erik: Hon, I was planning on going on a Boundary Waters trip this weekend.
[0:46:17 – 0:46:17] Adam: What?
[0:46:17 – 0:46:19] Adam: This is the first I’m hearing of it.
[0:46:19 – 0:46:20] Adam: We got the company picnic.
[0:46:21 – 0:46:22] Adam: We got the three-legged race.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:24] Adam: The potato sack.
[0:46:25 – 0:46:26] Adam: I already purchased the potato sack.
[0:46:26 – 0:46:27] Adam: I already got the potato sack.
[0:46:27 – 0:46:29] Erik: You’re not backing out of me now, Doug.
[0:46:30 – 0:46:36] Erik: I chanced my shipment from Karachi to get this premium potato sack.
[0:46:36 – 0:46:39] Adam: Silk-lined Karachi leather.
[0:46:39 – 0:46:42] Erik: Featured from the making of Little Giants.
[0:46:43 – 0:46:46] Erik: Isn’t there a three-legged race in Little Giants?
[0:46:48 – 0:46:48] Adam: Yeah.
[0:46:49 – 0:46:53] Adam: Well, that doesn’t sound good.
[0:46:53 – 0:46:56] Erik: Well, I love that we just lightly roasted the companion.
[0:46:57 – 0:46:57] Adam: Poor companion.
[0:46:58 – 0:46:58] Erik: Poor companion.
[0:46:58 – 0:47:01] Adam: Well, you know, get your stuff together.
[0:47:01 – 0:47:02] Erik: Planned companion.
[0:47:03 – 0:47:05] Adam: It’s all about communication, companion.
[0:47:05 – 0:47:12] Adam: Got to make sure you have clear communication on what you want and what you need and what you’re willing to give.
[0:47:13 – 0:47:14] Adam: Also, think about that.
[0:47:14 – 0:47:17] Erik: What’s the leading candidate for this episode?
[0:47:17 – 0:47:18] Erik: Still Lone Jogger.
[0:47:18 – 0:47:19] Erik: Lone Jogger?
[0:47:19 – 0:47:20] Erik: Yeah, what do you think?
[0:47:20 – 0:47:21] Erik: Planned Companion.
[0:47:21 – 0:47:22] Adam: Planned Companion.
[0:47:22 – 0:47:23] Adam: I’m going to add it in there.
[0:47:23 – 0:47:24] Erik: Okay.
[0:47:24 – 0:47:24] Erik: Nice.
[0:47:25 – 0:47:27] Erik: So far, it’s up there running.
[0:47:27 – 0:47:32] Erik: I’m sure I will cut to me putting together this episode and be like, I can’t think of anything to name this.
[0:47:32 – 0:47:33] Adam: What were we talking about?
[0:47:33 – 0:47:34] Erik: What were we talking about?
[0:47:35 – 0:47:45] Erik: It’s almost like we’re being force-fed large jugs of high alcohol beer like geese in the foie gras factory.
[0:47:48 – 0:47:49] Erik: You got goosed.
[0:47:49 – 0:47:50] Erik: All for your entertainment.
[0:47:50 – 0:47:51] Erik: Yeah, that’s right.
[0:47:51 – 0:47:51] Erik: Goosed.
[0:47:51 – 0:47:53] Erik: We’re a delicacy.
[0:47:54 – 0:47:54] Adam: Yeah, we are.
[0:47:55 – 0:47:58] Adam: If you cut my liver open, it looks like an agate as well.
[0:47:58 – 0:48:00] Erik: Years and years of abuse.
[0:48:02 – 0:48:02] Adam: Of love.
[0:48:03 – 0:48:03] Adam: Love.
[0:48:04 – 0:48:05] Adam: Yeah, liquid love.
[0:48:05 – 0:48:06] Erik: See that white line there?
[0:48:07 – 0:48:10] Erik: That’s the two weeks I gave it a break one time four years ago.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:13] Adam: Yeah, it’s like the rings on a tree.
[0:48:13 – 0:48:20] Adam: It’s like gaseous bubbles from a volcano trapped in… What kind of rock do they get trapped in, Eric?
[0:48:22 – 0:48:23] Erik: Ignatius?
[0:48:23 – 0:48:25] Adam: Yeah, I think it is Ignatius.
[0:48:26 – 0:48:27] Adam: Ignatius Riley.
[0:48:27 – 0:48:28] Erik: Ignatius Riley.
[0:48:29 – 0:48:33] Erik: Solo trip Baker Lake North to the Temperance Twin Lakes.
[0:48:35 – 0:48:36] Erik: Temperance?
[0:48:36 – 0:48:38] Erik: The week before fishing opener.
[0:48:40 – 0:48:40] Adam: That’s early.
[0:48:41 – 0:48:41] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:46] Erik: Saw no other person the first day and a half and got to see a moose.
[0:48:46 – 0:48:47] Adam: Pew, pew, pew.
[0:48:47 – 0:48:49] Erik: Got a little bored, to be honest.
[0:48:49 – 0:48:53] Erik: I think next solo attempt, I’ll bring the dog along for company.
[0:48:53 – 0:48:54] Erik: Yeah, you gotta bring a dog.
[0:48:54 – 0:48:55] Erik: Dog or a book.
[0:48:55 – 0:48:57] Erik: Or an Ignatius J. Reilly.
[0:48:59 – 0:49:01] Erik: Second trip was during peak season early August.
[0:49:02 – 0:49:06] Erik: Late planning forced the use of the dreaded skipper in Portage Lake EP.
[0:49:07 – 0:49:08] Erik: Is it, I don’t know, is it dreaded?
[0:49:08 – 0:49:09] Adam: I don’t think skipper, no.
[0:49:10 – 0:49:10] Adam: Skipper’s nice.
[0:49:11 – 0:49:13] Erik: It’s that meads entry point that’s dreaded.
[0:49:13 – 0:49:14] Erik: Yeah, meads can, uh,
[0:49:16 – 0:49:18] Adam: can go ahead and go on and get.
[0:49:18 – 0:49:19] Adam: Go on and get.
[0:49:19 – 0:49:22] Adam: I’m going to politely say you’re going to have to go on and get meads.
[0:49:22 – 0:49:24] Adam: Skipper, you’re welcome to stay.
[0:49:24 – 0:49:25] Erik: Yeah, for sure.
[0:49:26 – 0:49:27] Erik: That’s a garden walk.
[0:49:27 – 0:49:27] Erik: It is.
[0:49:27 – 0:49:29] Erik: We’ve discussed this at length in the past.
[0:49:29 – 0:49:29] Adam: We have.
[0:49:30 – 0:49:31] Adam: See episode 132.
[0:49:31 – 0:49:32] Erik: Or 78.
[0:49:32 – 0:49:33] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:49:34 – 0:49:35] Adam: One of those is probably right.
[0:49:35 – 0:49:36] Erik: Somewhere in between there.
[0:49:37 – 0:49:37] Adam: Split the difference.
[0:49:38 – 0:49:38] Adam: 50-50.
[0:49:38 – 0:49:39] Adam: I give us a chance.
[0:49:39 – 0:49:40] Erik: I give us a chance.
[0:49:41 – 0:49:45] Erik: Brought along my son’s friend who had never slept in a tent before.
[0:49:48 – 0:49:49] Erik: Like a good tent.
[0:49:49 – 0:49:50] Erik: Just the sun’s friend?
[0:49:52 – 0:49:55] Adam: I assume the sun also went, but…
[0:49:56 – 0:49:57] Adam: You don’t know.
[0:49:57 – 0:49:58] Adam: Who knows?
[0:49:58 – 0:50:05] Adam: Unclear language, but I assume it was just meant to be like they brought a kid along that had never been in a tent before.
[0:50:06 – 0:50:12] Erik: I would really like, I mean, I can’t imagine a scenario in which I just went on a trip with another friend of mine’s dad.
[0:50:13 – 0:50:20] Erik: I’m thinking of like back in high school, but I honestly, I could see like a weird set of circumstances where that did happen.
[0:50:20 – 0:50:24] Adam: You can take my son on a trip if you want in like 10 years.
[0:50:25 – 0:50:26] Erik: No, I’ve already said my piece.
[0:50:27 – 0:50:32] Erik: I told him earlier in this episode that I’m probably gone.
[0:50:34 – 0:50:35] Erik: Or was that last episode?
[0:50:35 – 0:50:35] Erik: I can’t remember.
[0:50:36 – 0:50:38] Erik: I said my goodbye from the future already.
[0:50:39 – 0:50:41] Adam: Yeah, because you moved south.
[0:50:41 – 0:50:42] Adam: You moved to Orlando.
[0:50:43 – 0:50:43] Erik: Yeah.
[0:50:43 – 0:50:44] Adam: No paddling.
[0:50:44 – 0:50:47] Erik: I’m saying goodbye from warm, sunny Orlando.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:49] Adam: Why would you?
[0:50:49 – 0:50:51] Adam: I cannot believe you moved to Orlando in the future.
[0:50:51 – 0:50:52] Adam: I’m so mad at you right now.
[0:50:52 – 0:50:55] Erik: I’m going to become an Everglades expert.
[0:50:56 – 0:51:01] Erik: I’m going to start rating all the platform campsites and their danger from crocodile attacks.
[0:51:01 – 0:51:03] Adam: You leather-skinned beast.
[0:51:03 – 0:51:04] Adam: Fan boat noise.
[0:51:04 – 0:51:06] Adam: You don’t even need a leather vest.
[0:51:06 – 0:51:09] Adam: You got your own leathery Orlando skin.
[0:51:09 – 0:51:10] Erik: Yeah, why buy a vest?
[0:51:10 – 0:51:12] Erik: Half man, half alligator.
[0:51:12 – 0:51:14] Erik: Why buy a vest when you can grow one?
[0:51:14 – 0:51:17] Adam: The sea salt off the spray of the seashore.
[0:51:18 – 0:51:23] Adam: Who needs frozen mist when you got sea salts coming off the sandy beach?
[0:51:23 – 0:51:25] Erik: Yeah, they’re going to call me Dr. Brackish.
[0:51:26 – 0:51:26] Erik: Brr.
[0:51:27 – 0:51:32] Adam: Dr. Brackish.
[0:51:32 – 0:51:37] Erik: I mixed in with the salties from the ocean and the freshies from like Okeechobee.
[0:51:41 – 0:51:43] Adam: I feel like I’m in Florida right now.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:44] Adam: Yeah.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:46] Adam: All this hot Florida talk right now.
[0:51:47 – 0:51:48] Adam: Making me quite thirsty.
[0:51:49 – 0:51:49] Erik: For what?
[0:51:49 – 0:51:54] Adam: For a Venn Brewing Company Northodox New England Pale Ale.
[0:51:55 – 0:51:56] Erik: I’ve got a DDT Citra.
[0:52:00 – 0:52:00] Adam: IPA.
[0:52:01 – 0:52:03] Adam: Thanks to SquareJaw77 and wife.
[0:52:04 – 0:52:05] Adam: I will never.
[0:52:05 – 0:52:06] Adam: I vow right now.
[0:52:08 – 0:52:11] Adam: Here and evermore, I will never go back to Orlando ever again.
[0:52:11 – 0:52:13] Adam: Orlando, you can trust us.
[0:52:13 – 0:52:14] Adam: Why don’t?
[0:52:15 – 0:52:15] Adam: Ever.
[0:52:16 – 0:52:18] Adam: Ever again, Orlando.
[0:52:19 – 0:52:21] Adam: Worst karaoke jam I’ve ever been a part of.
[0:52:22 – 0:52:22] Erik: Agreed.
[0:52:22 – 0:52:25] Adam: And I’m never buying a part of your timeshare, Orlando.
[0:52:25 – 0:52:26] Erik: Not agreed.
[0:52:26 – 0:52:27] Adam: Not agreed.
[0:52:28 – 0:52:28] Adam: All right.
[0:52:31 – 0:52:32] Erik: Open the dossier.
[0:52:32 – 0:52:33] Erik: Open the dossier.
[0:52:33 – 0:52:36] Erik: Hopefully the friend of the friend is not listening.
[0:52:37 – 0:52:39] Erik: This is getting awkward.
[0:52:39 – 0:52:44] Adam: Timing kept us away from the more popular… You went on a trip with my friend and not with me, Dad?
[0:52:45 – 0:52:48] Adam: Yeah, well, you’re just not that good at paddling, son.
[0:52:48 – 0:53:09] Erik: the friend showed a lot of personal grope sorry gropes gropes the friend showed a lot of personal growth starting out as a whiny teenager to a real team player helping out with camp activities and offering assistance the disappointment with poor fishing was offset with the sighting oh yes
[0:53:11 – 0:53:11] Adam: Okay.
[0:53:12 – 0:53:18] Erik: That looks like sitting, but it is sighting of a huge moose in Bannadad Lake.
[0:53:20 – 0:53:20] Erik: Nice.
[0:53:21 – 0:53:25] Erik: Yeah, fishing through that stretch of waters is not ideal.
[0:53:26 – 0:53:32] Erik: Basically, light to moderate smallmouth bass fishing.
[0:53:32 – 0:53:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:34 – 0:53:36] Erik: Some decent pike maybe in Bannadad.
[0:53:36 – 0:53:37] Adam: A lot of lily pads.
[0:53:38 – 0:53:39] Erik: Depending on the time of year.
[0:53:39 – 0:53:41] Adam: You want to get a frog bait.
[0:53:42 – 0:53:45] Adam: And just rip that thing through the lily pads.
[0:53:45 – 0:53:47] Adam: A moss boss?
[0:53:47 – 0:53:48] Adam: Yeah, a moss boss.
[0:53:49 – 0:53:49] Adam: Thank you.
[0:53:50 – 0:53:50] Adam: Yeah.
[0:53:51 – 0:53:52] Adam: Planned companion.
[0:53:53 – 0:53:53] Adam: Shout out.
[0:53:56 – 0:54:00] Erik: Yeah, I can’t tell if the sun was on that trip or not.
[0:54:00 – 0:54:01] Adam: Yeah, the sun was there.
[0:54:01 – 0:54:02] Adam: Come on.
[0:54:03 – 0:54:04] Adam: They’re not going on a trip without the boy.
[0:54:04 – 0:54:06] Adam: Hey, boy.
[0:54:06 – 0:54:07] Erik: I love how confident you are.
[0:54:08 – 0:54:08] Adam: Yeah.
[0:54:08 – 0:54:09] Erik: He ain’t going on a trip without a boy.
[0:54:09 – 0:54:10] Erik: Yeah, I know, dude.
[0:54:11 – 0:54:14] Adam: Next up on the show, the big sag.
[0:54:16 – 0:54:17] Adam: Three boxes of wine.
[0:54:18 – 0:54:18] Adam: All right.
[0:54:19 – 0:54:19] Adam: We’ll see about this.
[0:54:20 – 0:54:24] Adam: Four and a half trips in 2021, a new personal record.
[0:54:25 – 0:54:28] Adam: Number one, early June solo.
[0:54:29 – 0:54:34] Adam: Lake One south through the PMA 11 to Clearwater out through the K-Wish.
[0:54:35 – 0:54:35] Adam: Nice.
[0:54:35 – 0:54:40] Adam: My pooch and I cut a four-day trip a bit short due to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
[0:54:41 – 0:54:43] Adam: No clouds and minimal wind.
[0:54:44 – 0:54:44] Adam: What was this?
[0:54:45 – 0:54:45] Adam: What was this?
[0:54:46 – 0:54:46] Adam: Oh, my.
[0:54:47 – 0:54:47] Adam: Early June.
[0:54:47 – 0:54:49] Adam: Yeah, it was about when we were out there.
[0:54:49 – 0:54:50] Adam: Heat wave, yeah.
[0:54:51 – 0:54:52] Adam: It was quite hot.
[0:54:52 – 0:54:54] Erik: Is that the Weasel Lake PMA?
[0:54:55 – 0:54:57] Adam: PMA 11.
[0:54:57 – 0:54:59] Erik: I think it’s Weasel.
[0:54:59 – 0:55:01] Erik: It’s got to be Weasel, huh?
[0:55:01 – 0:55:01] Erik: Or drag?
[0:55:02 – 0:55:04] Erik: No, they said they went out through Clearwater.
[0:55:04 – 0:55:04] Adam: Yeah, that’s Weasel.
[0:55:05 – 0:55:06] Erik: Yeah, that’s Weasel.
[0:55:06 – 0:55:07] Adam: That’s a Weasel Lake PMA.
[0:55:08 – 0:55:08] Adam: Got it.
[0:55:08 – 0:55:09] Adam: Ball buster.
[0:55:09 – 0:55:09] Adam: Ball buster.
[0:55:10 – 0:55:11] Adam: All right, we’re back on the comment.
[0:55:12 – 0:55:12] Adam: No wind.
[0:55:13 – 0:55:14] Adam: It was a ball buster.
[0:55:15 – 0:55:17] Adam: Those were… Jesus, Lord.
[0:55:17 – 0:55:18] Adam: Read two.
[0:55:18 – 0:55:19] Adam: One, two, three.
[0:55:20 – 0:55:22] Adam: Those who were there that week know what I’m talking about.
[0:55:22 – 0:55:22] Adam: See?
[0:55:23 – 0:55:23] Adam: We do.
[0:55:24 – 0:55:28] Adam: 90F plus at 9 p.m. equals sucky, but still magical.
[0:55:29 – 0:55:30] Adam: All right.
[0:55:31 – 0:55:33] Adam: A couple of hashtags.
[0:55:35 – 0:55:37] Adam: I’m going to leave the hashtags B on that one.
[0:55:37 – 0:55:37] Adam: Okay.
[0:55:37 – 0:55:38] Adam: Trip two.
[0:55:38 – 0:55:43] Adam: Mid-August annual trip with three Dodds and three 14-year-old daughters.
[0:55:44 – 0:55:45] Adam: Entry point 54.
[0:55:45 – 0:55:47] Adam: Seagull sag loop.
[0:55:48 – 0:55:52] Adam: Cool and very windy, but we were thrilled to get great stargazing despite the fires.
[0:55:53 – 0:56:07] Adam: What was not cool was the group of three that interrupted our mid-afternoon nappy time and actually beached their canoes, walked into our site, woke us up and asked if they could share the site with us at 2.30 p.m. on SAG.
[0:56:07 – 0:56:07] Adam: What?
[0:56:08 – 0:56:09] Adam: No emergencies.
[0:56:11 – 0:56:30] Adam: see episode 19 airing of grievances this one tops my list we politely invited them to find the next open site okay then yeah 2 30 in the afternoon is uh unacceptable manner with these people uh trip three you don’t want to see a trip marred by some sort of nonsense like that you hate to see it
[0:56:31 – 0:56:32] Erik: We need to do another airing of grievances.
[0:56:33 – 0:56:34] Erik: We haven’t… Yeah, we need to.
[0:56:34 – 0:56:35] Erik: Episode 19?
[0:56:36 – 0:56:37] Adam: Maybe in January.
[0:56:37 – 0:56:38] Adam: We’ll have to air some more.
[0:56:38 – 0:56:39] Adam: Trip three.
[0:56:39 – 0:56:43] Adam: Late August annual trip with three dads and five boys.
[0:56:43 – 0:56:49] Adam: Our planned trip to entry point Wood Lake didn’t happen due to that shutdown two days prior to entry.
[0:56:49 – 0:56:51] Adam: This is the half trip.
[0:56:51 – 0:56:52] Adam: Oh, okay.
[0:56:52 – 0:56:53] Adam: That makes sense now.
[0:56:53 – 0:56:57] Adam: As any true and manly father would do, we threw together an alternate trip
[0:56:58 – 0:57:01] Adam: For three days down the flambeau in Wisconsin.
[0:57:01 – 0:57:01] Adam: There you go.
[0:57:02 – 0:57:04] Adam: Decent backup plan, but definitely not the B-dubs.
[0:57:05 – 0:57:12] Adam: With a current and no portages, the 10- to 12-year-old boys didn’t have enough to complain about, but they still did.
[0:57:12 – 0:57:13] Adam: All right.
[0:57:15 – 0:57:18] Adam: Trip four, early September solo trip with the dog.
[0:57:19 – 0:57:21] Adam: Entry point 30, lake four and back.
[0:57:21 – 0:57:22] Adam: So relaxing.
[0:57:22 – 0:57:23] Adam: Perfect.
[0:57:23 – 0:57:24] Adam: Everything one could ask for.
[0:57:25 – 0:57:28] Adam: Soaked in the magic of this place we all love so much.
[0:57:28 – 0:57:29] Adam: I like that one.
[0:57:30 – 0:57:34] Adam: And finally, trip five, early October three-day trip with my two boys.
[0:57:35 – 0:57:37] Adam: Entry point 62, Clearwater Lake.
[0:57:37 – 0:57:38] Adam: Which one?
[0:57:38 – 0:57:38] Erik: 62.
[0:57:40 – 0:57:44] Adam: First October trip ever and probably my favorite trip of the year.
[0:57:44 – 0:57:47] Adam: Three days of zero wind, mirrored waters.
[0:57:48 – 0:57:49] Adam: Tail end of fall peak.
[0:57:50 – 0:57:52] Adam: Pictures just don’t do justice.
[0:57:52 – 0:57:59] Adam: Spent 45 minutes fishing a ham’s beer can circa 1965 from 20 feet of crystal clear water.
[0:58:01 – 0:58:02] Adam: Got it, I hope.
[0:58:02 – 0:58:05] Adam: A bit of a lake cleanup and treasure for the boys.
[0:58:05 – 0:58:07] Adam: Can’t wait for open water 2022.
[0:58:07 – 0:58:10] Adam: Huzzah, huzzah, huzzah.
[0:58:11 – 0:58:11] Adam: All right.
[0:58:11 – 0:58:13] Erik: Huzzah, huzzah.
[0:58:13 – 0:58:13] Adam: Very good.
[0:58:16 – 0:58:17] Erik: Did you scroll me?
[0:58:17 – 0:58:18] Adam: I did.
[0:58:18 – 0:58:19] Adam: You’re pretty scrawled this time.
[0:58:21 – 0:58:22] Erik: Are we going to be able to do it, you think?
[0:58:23 – 0:58:23] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:58:23 – 0:58:24] Adam: What do we got left?
[0:58:25 – 0:58:27] Adam: Got about a third of this beer left.
[0:58:30 – 0:58:32] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:58:32 – 0:58:32] Erik: We got it.
[0:58:32 – 0:58:33] Adam: We got it.
[0:58:33 – 0:58:34] Adam: I think we got it.
[0:58:34 – 0:58:35] Adam: Gonna take a break?
[0:58:35 – 0:58:36] Adam: Think about it?
[0:58:36 – 0:58:36] Erik: No.
[0:58:39 – 0:58:41] Erik: No!
[0:58:41 – 0:58:42] Erik: Nash Kato.
[0:58:42 – 0:58:44] Erik: 2021.
[0:58:47 – 0:58:47] Erik: Not bad.
[0:58:48 – 0:58:50] Erik: Bit different than planned.
[0:58:51 – 0:58:53] Erik: Isn’t that always the case?
[0:58:53 – 0:58:56] Erik: Early June, family trip to a clear water cabin.
[0:58:57 – 0:59:00] Erik: A few easy day trips and trail runs into the park.
[0:59:01 – 0:59:03] Erik: Met Eric just after the Lake One trip.
[0:59:04 – 0:59:08] Erik: Not sure if our beer got lost or is still in the tumble shed.
[0:59:08 – 0:59:10] Erik: We’ll just have to bring you more in 2022.
[0:59:10 – 0:59:10] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:59:11 – 0:59:14] Adam: Is this the Leinenkugel’s lime ade?
[0:59:14 – 0:59:15] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:59:15 – 0:59:16] Erik: We have quite a bit of beers.
[0:59:16 – 0:59:19] Adam: We have a lot of beer left.
[0:59:19 – 0:59:20] Adam: Depends.
[0:59:20 – 0:59:20] Adam: What was it?
[0:59:20 – 0:59:21] Adam: Yeah, we need to know.
[0:59:21 – 0:59:22] Adam: Yeah, what was it?
[0:59:23 – 0:59:26] Adam: We had some real weird ones in there that had not gotten cracked.
[0:59:26 – 0:59:30] Erik: Yeah, there’s definitely some that have been represented out of order as well.
[0:59:30 – 0:59:30] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:59:30 – 0:59:33] Adam: We’re definitely, as we said, we don’t have a whiteboard for the beer yet.
[0:59:34 – 0:59:34] Erik: Yeah.
[0:59:35 – 0:59:38] Adam: We’ve got our movies organized, but sort of.
[0:59:38 – 0:59:43] Erik: Movies are basically an Excel spreadsheet on that smart whiteboard.
[0:59:44 – 0:59:54] Erik: July 1 through 4, a planned father-son granite river trip with my 12-year-old was postponed for his activities, so I went anyway.
[0:59:54 – 0:59:58] Erik: My brother from out of state just happened to be in Minnesota and available.
[0:59:58 – 0:59:58] Adam: Brother?
[0:59:59 – 0:59:59] Adam: Are you out there?
[0:59:59 – 1:00:00] Adam: Are you listening?
[1:00:00 – 1:00:01] Adam: Hello, brother.
[1:00:01 – 1:00:02] Adam: I miss you, brother.
[1:00:03 – 1:00:03] Erik: Yes.
[1:00:04 – 1:00:04] Erik: What?
[1:00:05 – 1:00:08] Erik: Is that you?
[1:00:08 – 1:00:10] Adam: Oh, no, the mannequins are back.
[1:00:10 – 1:00:11] Adam: Oh, gosh.
[1:00:11 – 1:00:12] Adam: No.
[1:00:13 – 1:00:15] Erik: Eric, I tell you what, I really miss my brother.
[1:00:15 – 1:00:16] Erik: I wish he’d come up.
[1:00:16 – 1:00:18] Erik: Oh, boy, me too, actually.
[1:00:18 – 1:00:19] Erik: I don’t have a brother.
[1:00:19 – 1:00:20] Erik: What’s it like to have one?
[1:00:20 – 1:00:22] Adam: Well, you’re my brother, Eric.
[1:00:23 – 1:00:24] Adam: Oh, thanks.
[1:00:24 – 1:00:24] Adam: I’m your brother.
[1:00:25 – 1:00:26] Adam: Who’s talking now?
[1:00:26 – 1:00:27] Erik: I’m not crying.
[1:00:27 – 1:00:27] Erik: You’re crying.
[1:00:27 – 1:00:30] Adam: Oh, weeping.
[1:00:30 – 1:00:38] Erik: So we did our first ever middle-aged brothers trip.
[1:00:38 – 1:00:39] Erik: Brothers.
[1:00:39 – 1:00:40] Erik: It was awesome.
[1:00:41 – 1:00:44] Erik: Hot, hazy, mixed fishing, but a blast and memorable.
[1:00:44 – 1:00:46] Erik: No Bobby and or Rex.
[1:00:46 – 1:00:52] Erik: In fact, most people, sorry, in fact, almost no people on two days of the trip around Marabou.
[1:00:53 – 1:00:54] Erik: Do you pronounce the F?
[1:00:55 – 1:00:55] Erik: Marabou?
[1:00:55 – 1:00:56] Erik: Marabouf?
[1:00:56 – 1:00:57] Adam: Marabouaf.
[1:00:57 – 1:00:58] Erik: Marabouaf.
[1:00:58 – 1:01:01] Erik: Bouf.
[1:01:02 – 1:01:04] Erik: It’s got to be a French word, right?
[1:01:04 – 1:01:05] Erik: It is, yeah.
[1:01:06 – 1:01:06] Erik: What does it mean?
[1:01:07 – 1:01:09] Erik: What’s Mara and Omarah?
[1:01:10 – 1:01:11] Erik: Is it bouf, beef?
[1:01:11 – 1:01:13] Adam: I think it’s meatloaf.
[1:01:13 – 1:01:14] Erik: Meatloaf lake?
[1:01:14 – 1:01:15] Erik: That would be amazing.
[1:01:15 – 1:01:16] Adam: I think that’s what it means.
[1:01:17 – 1:01:18] Adam: That’s my best guess.
[1:01:19 – 1:01:20] Adam: Marabouaf.
[1:01:23 – 1:01:23] Adam: You got to check it.
[1:01:23 – 1:01:26] Erik: We’re going to fact check this one on the fly.
[1:01:26 – 1:01:29] Adam: I hope it is.
[1:01:29 – 1:01:30] Adam: I hope I’m right.
[1:01:33 – 1:01:35] Adam: I want to do a Granite River trip this year.
[1:01:35 – 1:01:37] Adam: So, I mean, if that’s true, then we have to stay on meatloaf.
[1:01:42 – 1:01:45] Erik: Well, we’ll continue the translation search in a second here.
[1:01:49 – 1:01:52] Erik: Early August, rescheduled Father-Son trip cancelled by me.
[1:01:52 – 1:01:55] Erik: Fire ban and low water situation freaked me out.
[1:01:55 – 1:02:05] Erik: Late September, found myself wishing badly I could get back up after the park reopened, but it’s just too long of a drive from St. Louis and there was no room on the calendar.
[1:02:05 – 1:02:09] Erik: Currently planning a 2022 Father-Son trip.
[1:02:09 – 1:02:14] Erik: Once again, we’re going to splurge and get a fishing guide for a day or two.
[1:02:14 – 1:02:15] Erik: Damn.
[1:02:17 – 1:02:20] Erik: We will both have fun, and it will take the stress off of me.
[1:02:21 – 1:02:21] Erik: Yeah.
[1:02:22 – 1:02:23] Erik: Well, don’t hire me.
[1:02:23 – 1:02:25] Erik: I am definitely not a fishing guide.
[1:02:25 – 1:02:27] Adam: I think it’s something to do with a moose, actually.
[1:02:28 – 1:02:30] Adam: Not moose loaf, just the moose.
[1:02:30 – 1:02:31] Erik: Moose beef?
[1:02:32 – 1:02:33] Adam: Moose roast.
[1:02:33 – 1:02:35] Adam: Moose roast.
[1:02:36 – 1:02:39] Erik: Moose.
[1:02:41 – 1:02:42] Erik: Are we pressing on?
[1:02:43 – 1:02:44] Adam: It’s your call, chief.
[1:02:45 – 1:02:45] Erik: Oh, boy.
[1:02:45 – 1:02:47] Adam: We think we got her, and we don’t.
[1:02:47 – 1:02:49] Adam: What do we have for time?
[1:02:49 – 1:02:50] Adam: Hour four.
[1:02:50 – 1:02:51] Adam: Hour four.
[1:02:51 – 1:02:52] Adam: We’re clear.
[1:02:52 – 1:02:53] Adam: Do we have enough left?
[1:02:53 – 1:02:53] Erik: We’re clear.
[1:02:53 – 1:02:55] Erik: Do we have enough juice in the tanks?
[1:02:56 – 1:02:56] Adam: Well, I don’t know.
[1:02:57 – 1:03:00] Adam: Do we have enough for another episode, though, if we stop here?
[1:03:02 – 1:03:03] Erik: Probably.
[1:03:03 – 1:03:05] Erik: The way you’re scrolling.
[1:03:05 – 1:03:07] Erik: There’s still nine comments.
[1:03:07 – 1:03:08] Adam: Yeah, we can.
[1:03:08 – 1:03:09] Adam: All right, let’s cut it.
[1:03:10 – 1:03:11] Adam: Part six coming up next.
[1:03:11 – 1:03:12] Erik: Part four of six.
[1:03:13 – 1:03:16] Adam: No, and the next one should just be called six of six.
[1:03:16 – 1:03:16] Adam: Yes.
[1:03:16 – 1:03:17] Adam: And they don’t have the middle.
[1:03:17 – 1:03:18] Adam: Eight of six.
[1:03:18 – 1:03:18] Adam: All right.
[1:03:19 – 1:03:19] Adam: I’m going to do it.
[1:03:20 – 1:03:21] Adam: Eight of six.
[1:03:22 – 1:03:23] Adam: A one, seven, five.
[1:03:23 – 1:03:24] Adam: Oh my God.
[1:03:24 – 1:03:25] Adam: I wrote that wrong.
[1:03:25 – 1:03:28] Erik: These guys are just, all they do is they drink beer for 20 minutes.
[1:03:30 – 1:03:35] Erik: They BS about Hamburglar’s backstory.
[1:03:35 – 1:03:35] Erik: Yeah.
[1:03:36 – 1:03:39] Erik: And then they read three comments and they call it a podcast.
[1:03:39 – 1:03:41] Erik: We read like 10 comments this episode.

[1:04:17 – 1:04:17] Erik: Moving on.
[1:04:18 – 1:04:19] Erik: All right.
[1:04:19 – 1:04:20] Erik: Bird dogging it.

[1:04:25 – 1:04:26] Erik: Yes.
[1:04:26 – 1:04:29] Erik: Probably will be next week because it’s late and I’m tired.
[1:04:30 – 1:04:30] Adam: Yeah.
[1:04:30 – 1:04:31] Adam: Probably will actually have to wait.
[1:04:32 – 1:04:35] Adam: I got a big day ahead.
[1:04:35 – 1:04:36] Adam: A lot of plumbing.
[1:04:37 – 1:04:39] Erik: Big, intricate plumbing maneuvers.
[1:04:39 – 1:04:39] Adam: What do you think?
[1:04:39 – 1:04:42] Adam: Maybe by the end of this year, I’ll have that kitchen sink finished.
[1:04:42 – 1:04:43] Erik: All right.
[1:04:43 – 1:04:44] Erik: Good luck.
[1:04:44 – 1:04:44] Erik: God bless.
[1:04:44 – 1:04:54] Adam: Thank you to our beer sponsors this week, Squarejaw77, who had a comment on this show, I believe, and Wife.
[1:04:56 – 1:05:01] Adam: Thank you for the fine, large beers the size of a massive blimp.
[1:05:02 – 1:05:02] Adam: What are the odds?
[1:05:02 – 1:05:04] Adam: Delicious liquid.
[1:05:05 – 1:05:09] Erik: Does a blimp of delicious liquid fly, or does it sink?
[1:05:09 – 1:05:09] Erik: Who knows?
[1:05:12 – 1:05:15] Adam: I still got a couple sips of this one, though, but it is going down good.
[1:05:15 – 1:05:16] Adam: I have to report.
[1:05:21 – 1:05:24] Adam: Yes, I don’t… That’s always a great way to finish.
[1:05:26 – 1:05:30] Adam: Hit the chiptunes, bud.
[1:05:31 – 1:05:32] Adam: Happy…
[1:05:34 – 1:05:36] Erik: Happy snowshoeing.
[1:05:36 – 1:05:37] Adam: The end.
