[0:01:11 – 0:01:14] Adam: Life is precious, and every day is a miracle.
[0:01:15 – 0:01:20] Erik: Ooh, is it going to be one of those reverse episodes where we start with the end and end with the beginning?
[0:01:20 – 0:01:22] Adam: Happy paddling, Eric.
[0:01:22 – 0:01:23] Adam: Happy paddling, everybody.
[0:01:23 – 0:01:25] Erik: All right, we’ll see you next week.
[0:01:25 – 0:01:26] Erik: We should do one of those.
[0:01:27 – 0:01:28] Adam: That would be real spooky.
[0:01:30 – 0:01:32] Adam: Maybe in a couple weeks when we talk about costumes.
[0:01:33 – 0:01:34] Erik: Yeah, question of the week.
[0:01:34 – 0:01:35] Erik: It’s up on the subreddit.
[0:01:37 – 0:01:38] Erik: Paddling costumes.
[0:01:38 – 0:01:43] Erik: It’s going to be a Halloween bonanza episode coming out in a couple of weeks.
[0:01:44 – 0:01:48] Erik: This week we’re just talking about October paddling.
[0:01:48 – 0:01:49] Erik: General thoughts.
[0:01:49 – 0:01:53] Erik: Some responses from listeners.
[0:01:54 – 0:01:56] Adam: Maybe we’ll have a story or two to share.
[0:01:56 – 0:01:58] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:01:58 – 0:01:59] Erik: I’ve never really paddled in October.
[0:02:02 – 0:02:02] Adam: That’s a lie.
[0:02:02 – 0:02:03] Erik: That’s a bold.
[0:02:03 – 0:02:04] Erik: Bald or bold?
[0:02:04 – 0:02:04] Erik: Bold.
[0:02:07 – 0:02:07] Adam: Bald.
[0:02:07 – 0:02:08] Erik: What’s a bald-faced lie, then?
[0:02:09 – 0:02:09] Erik: It’s bald-faced.
[0:02:10 – 0:02:11] Erik: Bald-faced.
[0:02:11 – 0:02:12] Adam: Bald-faced.
[0:02:12 – 0:02:13] Erik: Why is it bald?
[0:02:13 – 0:02:15] Erik: A beardless man telling you a lie?
[0:02:15 – 0:02:19] Adam: Yeah, you can’t trust somebody with no hair, I guess.
[0:02:19 – 0:02:20] Adam: Yeah, I mean…
[0:02:20 – 0:02:22] Adam: Either on their head or their face.
[0:02:23 – 0:02:25] Adam: Just a bald-faced.
[0:02:25 – 0:02:27] Erik: No, not even any eyebrows?
[0:02:27 – 0:02:27] Adam: No eyebrows.
[0:02:27 – 0:02:28] Adam: I think that’s the key.
[0:02:29 – 0:02:33] Adam: If you ever meet somebody with no eyebrows, they’re probably like the men in black or whatever.
[0:02:33 – 0:02:35] Adam: One of those little… One of those demon people.
[0:02:36 – 0:02:42] Erik: Yeah, or one of those little games with the magnet sticks that you could drag the magnetic hair onto the head.
[0:02:43 – 0:02:44] Erik: Yeah.
[0:02:44 – 0:02:45] Adam: Yeah.
[0:02:45 – 0:02:46] Adam: Can’t trust them either.
[0:02:46 – 0:02:46] Erik: No.
[0:02:47 – 0:02:50] Erik: Sponsored as always by our fine friends.
[0:02:51 – 0:02:52] Erik: Fine, fine friends.
[0:02:52 – 0:02:54] Erik: Are you guys tired of being called fine friends?
[0:02:54 – 0:02:58] Erik: By our magnanimous friends on Patreon.
[0:02:59 – 0:03:00] Adam: Our lovely friends.
[0:03:00 – 0:03:01] Adam: And lovely.
[0:03:01 – 0:03:01] Adam: Aren’t we lucky?
[0:03:02 – 0:03:04] Adam: Aren’t we lucky to have lovely friends like them?
[0:03:05 – 0:03:06] Erik: All of the adjectives.
[0:03:06 – 0:03:08] Erik: Just wait until Thanksgiving and we’ll pour it on.
[0:03:09 – 0:03:15] Adam: This is episode 0166 of Tumble Home, a Boundary Waters podcast.
[0:03:15 – 0:03:18] Erik: So close to the number of the beast, but thank you, patrons.
[0:03:18 – 0:03:19] Erik: Stay tuned.
[0:03:20 – 0:03:21] Erik: Evil Dead 2.
[0:03:22 – 0:03:24] Erik: TCC coming at you.
[0:03:24 – 0:03:25] Erik: Don’t read.
[0:03:25 – 0:03:28] Erik: Don’t read the text.
[0:03:28 – 0:03:29] Erik: Don’t do it.
[0:03:30 – 0:03:32] Erik: Yeah, a little bit different from last year.
[0:03:32 – 0:03:32] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:03:32 – 0:03:35] Erik: I think we did Spooky in October and then we got to Over the Garden Wall.
[0:03:36 – 0:03:39] Adam: Yeah, we did over the Garden Wall in November last year, I think.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:48] Erik: I mean, I am proud of everything that we’ve done up to this point with this podcast and the conversations and community that we’ve built around the Boundary Waters and everything that that stands for.
[0:03:49 – 0:03:55] Erik: But there is a little bit of me that, based on some of the emails that I have gotten, am very happy.
[0:03:55 – 0:03:57] Erik: I don’t know if it’s necessarily proud.
[0:03:57 – 0:04:00] Erik: I didn’t put any of the work into creating over the Garden Wall, but…
[0:04:02 – 0:04:17] Erik: some of the emails i’ve gotten from people that are like thank you so much for turning this on to my family like we are like we’re kind of obsessed with it now and we watch it like all the time and one of my favorite emails that i got like i think in the last month
[0:04:18 – 0:04:21] Erik: Somebody was like, thanks for sharing Over the Garden Wall with our family.
[0:04:21 – 0:04:26] Erik: We watch it and it’s great for us because of all the quotes that we know.
[0:04:27 – 0:04:29] Erik: But then all of – but he’s – I think it was he.
[0:04:30 – 0:04:37] Erik: He’s like, I think my preschool teacher is a little confused by my son constantly dropping the quote.
[0:04:37 – 0:04:39] Erik: The beast is upon me.
[0:04:39 – 0:04:43] Erik: I was like, that’s so funny.
[0:04:44 – 0:04:45] Erik: Like the beast.
[0:04:45 – 0:04:50] Erik: And it was also is just upon me individually.
[0:04:50 – 0:04:51] Erik: The beast is upon me.
[0:04:51 – 0:04:52] Adam: It’s from over the garden wall.
[0:04:52 – 0:04:53] Adam: Don’t worry about it.
[0:04:54 – 0:04:54] Adam: Yeah.
[0:04:55 – 0:04:55] Erik: It’s fine.
[0:04:55 – 0:04:59] Erik: So yeah, stay tuned to this week for Evil Dead 2.
[0:04:59 – 0:05:01] Erik: A little bit of a different vibe than over the garden wall.
[0:05:02 – 0:05:03] Adam: Just a little.
[0:05:03 – 0:05:04] Adam: I mean, kind of the same though.
[0:05:05 – 0:05:06] Erik: Yeah, similar lighting.
[0:05:07 – 0:05:08] Erik: Yeah, a lot of weird shadows.
[0:05:09 – 0:05:18] Erik: Some lighting similarities, maybe some differences in the amount of limbs and appendages lost, but it is the spooky month.
[0:05:18 – 0:05:19] Erik: Yeah.
[0:05:19 – 0:05:22] Erik: And hopefully at some point you will divulge with me what…
[0:05:23 – 0:05:24] Erik: Your spooky movie of the month.
[0:05:24 – 0:05:25] Erik: I still haven’t picked it.
[0:05:25 – 0:05:30] Adam: Maybe by the end of this episode or the beginning of this episode, we’ll figure out what the pick is.
[0:05:31 – 0:05:32] Adam: I have no idea.
[0:05:32 – 0:05:35] Adam: I guess we’re just going to pick whatever sounds the spookiest from the list.
[0:05:35 – 0:05:36] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:05:36 – 0:05:36] Erik: Grizzly.
[0:05:36 – 0:05:38] Erik: Somebody emailed us.
[0:05:38 – 0:05:40] Adam: We got to add that to the list, by the way.
[0:05:40 – 0:05:40] Adam: I think it’s up there.
[0:05:40 – 0:05:41] Adam: Is it now?
[0:05:41 – 0:05:41] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:41 – 0:05:41] Adam: 76.
[0:05:42 – 0:05:42] Adam: Grizzly.
[0:05:42 – 0:05:43] Adam: It’s always been up there.
[0:05:43 – 0:05:44] Erik: Yeah.
[0:05:44 – 0:05:46] Erik: Another showcasing of Bart the Bear.
[0:05:47 – 0:05:47] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:48 – 0:05:50] Adam: You can’t ever have enough Bart the Bear content.
[0:05:51 – 0:05:51] Adam: No.
[0:05:51 – 0:05:57] Adam: We’re probably the number one Bart the Bear podcast in probably North America at this point.
[0:05:58 – 0:05:59] Adam: I’d venture to say that’s accurate.
[0:06:00 – 0:06:00] Adam: That’s a rock fact.
[0:06:01 – 0:06:02] Erik: That’s a fact.
[0:06:04 – 0:06:32] Adam: in tonight’s ron shara outdoor calendar fact of the day in fact is uh i uh i just told eric before the episode started i’m gonna be a dodd no he already knew that but i am gonna be a dodd and uh found out today it’s a boyo a little boyo on the way um found out today pretty special that is pretty special pretty exciting uh don’t know i really don’t know how to feel i guess but i’m excited
[0:06:33 – 0:06:35] Erik: All my stupid friends are having stupid children.
[0:06:35 – 0:06:40] Adam: Yeah, but I’m smart, and little Boyo is going to be a smart boy.
[0:06:41 – 0:06:46] Erik: Yeah, you have to put some folks out there into the world to combat.
[0:06:46 – 0:06:48] Adam: We don’t want idiocracy to happen.
[0:06:50 – 0:06:51] Adam: Some of us smart folks.
[0:06:51 – 0:06:55] Adam: So, yeah, Natalie and I are going to be proud parents to a son coming up here.
[0:06:56 – 0:06:58] Erik: Congrats on that all around.
[0:06:59 – 0:07:00] Erik: You got to battle those dry tongues.
[0:07:01 – 0:07:03] Erik: You do not want the dry tongues to take over.
[0:07:04 – 0:07:05] Adam: No way.
[0:07:08 – 0:07:09] Erik: Well, yeah.
[0:07:09 – 0:07:10] Adam: Oh, I’m sorry.
[0:07:10 – 0:07:14] Adam: Sunset is at 6.27 p.m. That’s in seven minutes.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:23] Adam: Yeah, I’m just thinking like 2029, paddling the boundary waters with my son.
[0:07:23 – 0:07:24] Erik: 2029?
[0:07:24 – 0:07:27] Erik: That’s the first year you would consider paddling with him?
[0:07:27 – 0:07:28] Adam: Yeah, for sure.
[0:07:29 – 0:07:30] Adam: You’re not allowed to touch a paddle.
[0:07:33 – 0:07:38] Adam: No, you know, I’m sure it’ll be like 2023 probably would be the first trip.
[0:07:39 – 0:07:39] Erik: Wow.
[0:07:39 – 0:07:40] Erik: That’s a…
[0:07:40 – 0:07:41] Adam: I mean… Get them going right away, you know?
[0:07:42 – 0:07:43] Adam: It worked pretty good with my cat.
[0:07:43 – 0:07:43] Adam: Yeah.
[0:07:44 – 0:07:46] Adam: You know, she put her in the canoe as a kitten.
[0:07:46 – 0:07:47] Adam: She hates it.
[0:07:47 – 0:07:48] Adam: Yeah, and now she hates it.
[0:07:48 – 0:07:54] Adam: Yeah, so we don’t want to undo that, but… Yeah, it’s…
[0:07:55 – 0:07:55] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:07:56 – 0:08:00] Adam: It’s just one of them days where you’re like, I don’t know.
[0:08:01 – 0:08:02] Adam: I’m up in the clouds right now, I think.
[0:08:03 – 0:08:03] Erik: In a good way.
[0:08:04 – 0:08:04] Adam: Yeah.
[0:08:04 – 0:08:04] Erik: Nice.
[0:08:04 – 0:08:05] Adam: In a real good way.
[0:08:05 – 0:08:06] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:08:06 – 0:08:07] Adam: I’m just floating around today.
[0:08:08 – 0:08:08] Erik: That’s good.
[0:08:08 – 0:08:10] Adam: I’m thinking this episode is going to go pretty smoothly.
[0:08:11 – 0:08:12] Erik: That’s even better.
[0:08:12 – 0:08:12] Adam: I hope.
[0:08:13 – 0:08:13] Erik: Yeah.
[0:08:14 – 0:08:15] Erik: Well, again, yeah.
[0:08:15 – 0:08:16] Erik: Congratulations.
[0:08:17 – 0:08:18] Erik: That’s amazing.
[0:08:18 – 0:08:25] Erik: I wish you and the future son all of the happiest of paddlings.
[0:08:26 – 0:08:31] Adam: Yeah, I definitely am going to start whittling like a tiny little bent shaft canoe paddle.
[0:08:32 – 0:08:32] Erik: Nice.
[0:08:33 – 0:08:39] Adam: Yeah, I need to get a 3D printer for the shed so we can start making little like baby paddle little zavarals.
[0:08:39 – 0:08:45] Erik: I think we probably would need some more power strips in here, but I think if we get a couple extra power strips, we can make that happen.
[0:08:47 – 0:08:48] Adam: Yeah, we definitely need a little more juice.
[0:08:48 – 0:08:51] Adam: Currently, all of our outlets are filled with party lights.
[0:08:51 – 0:08:51] Adam: Too many lights.
[0:08:53 – 0:08:55] Adam: Not enough 3D printers in the shed.
[0:08:56 – 0:08:58] Adam: We do have the heater going in the shed tonight.
[0:08:59 – 0:08:59] Adam: It’s a chilly one.
[0:08:59 – 0:09:00] Adam: It feels good.
[0:09:00 – 0:09:00] Adam: 47.
[0:09:01 – 0:09:02] Adam: Got two hoodies on.
[0:09:02 – 0:09:04] Adam: Eric’s wearing a knit hat tonight.
[0:09:04 – 0:09:12] Erik: Double hoodie, knit hat from shout out friend of the show, Boats and Hodags.
[0:09:12 – 0:09:13] Erik: Oh, wow.
[0:09:13 – 0:09:13] Erik: Thank you.
[0:09:13 – 0:09:14] Erik: Still wearing it.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:15] Erik: Love the colors.
[0:09:15 – 0:09:16] Erik: Keeping me nice and warm.
[0:09:17 – 0:09:19] Erik: It’s the finest palm I’ve ever seen.
[0:09:19 – 0:09:20] Erik: It looks good.
[0:09:20 – 0:09:21] Adam: It looks really good.
[0:09:21 – 0:09:22] Erik: Oh, I get compliments.
[0:09:23 – 0:09:24] Erik: I get compliments regularly.
[0:09:24 – 0:09:25] Adam: I can see why.
[0:09:26 – 0:09:30] Adam: Got a fact-checked from last week.
[0:09:30 – 0:09:32] Adam: This is a self-fact-check.
[0:09:32 – 0:09:35] Adam: Self-checked.
[0:09:35 – 0:09:36] Adam: Gump ranker.
[0:09:39 – 0:09:43] Erik: Just, yeah, FYI, Tori’s favorite Gump was Shrimp Boat Gump.
[0:09:44 – 0:09:45] Adam: That’s what I was going to say.
[0:09:45 – 0:09:49] Adam: I had several people approach me and were like, you didn’t even mention Shrimp Gump.
[0:09:50 – 0:09:50] Erik: Yeah.
[0:09:51 – 0:09:51] Adam: I mean.
[0:09:51 – 0:09:52] Adam: Fair enough.
[0:09:52 – 0:09:52] Adam: We should have.
[0:09:53 – 0:09:54] Erik: It’s the memiest of the Gumps.
[0:09:55 – 0:09:59] Erik: One of my favorite, not the memiest, but the giffiest.
[0:09:59 – 0:09:59] Adam: Yeah.
[0:10:00 – 0:10:00] Adam: Still memiest.
[0:10:01 – 0:10:02] Erik: Still not 100% sure.
[0:10:02 – 0:10:07] Erik: I’m 35 going on 40.
[0:10:08 – 0:10:10] Erik: And I’m steadfast in GIF.
[0:10:11 – 0:10:14] Erik: It’s a hard G. Get that J out of here.
[0:10:14 – 0:10:27] Erik: But one of my favorites to send out is just the most earnest and aloof and friendliest big wave from Gump when he’s on the back of the boat.
[0:10:27 – 0:10:27] Erik: Just like…
[0:10:28 – 0:10:31] Erik: That’s like one of my favorite go-tos to randomly send to people.
[0:10:31 – 0:10:31] Adam: Yeah.
[0:10:31 – 0:10:34] Adam: Why isn’t he, he’s impervious to a hurricane.
[0:10:35 – 0:10:35] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:10:36 – 0:10:37] Erik: That’s how they made their fortune.
[0:10:38 – 0:10:38] Adam: Yeah.
[0:10:38 – 0:10:39] Adam: Survive that hurricane.
[0:10:40 – 0:10:43] Erik: I mean, it’s just the nature of that man.
[0:10:43 – 0:10:44] Erik: We should put that on TCC.
[0:10:44 – 0:10:45] Erik: That would be a fun rewatch.
[0:10:45 – 0:10:46] Erik: Yeah.
[0:10:46 – 0:10:48] Erik: We’re just adding constantly.
[0:10:48 – 0:10:48] Erik: He camps.
[0:10:48 – 0:10:52] Erik: We just have to start doing… We just have to start doing more TCCs.
[0:10:53 – 0:10:53] Adam: Yeah.
[0:10:53 – 0:10:59] Adam: More TCCs, more tumble tunes, and less tumble home, maybe.
[0:10:59 – 0:10:59] Adam: Yeah, yeah.
[0:11:00 – 0:11:02] Adam: Formula’s a little askew here.
[0:11:02 – 0:11:02] Adam: Yeah.
[0:11:02 – 0:11:07] Erik: Well, also, this is technically, technically, our 200th episode.
[0:11:12 – 0:11:13] Adam: And can this day get any better?
[0:11:14 – 0:11:17] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:11:17 – 0:11:19] Erik: Sons, 200 episodes of a podcast.
[0:11:20 – 0:11:21] Erik: I was just looking.
[0:11:21 – 0:11:23] Erik: And yes, if you count them individually, this is 200.
[0:11:24 – 0:11:27] Erik: Are you counting all the Tumble Home Expresses?
[0:11:27 – 0:11:28] Adam: Yes.
[0:11:29 – 0:11:34] Adam: And the Tumble Home Cinema Classics and the Tumble Home TVs.
[0:11:34 – 0:11:37] Adam: And all those too.
[0:11:38 – 0:11:38] Adam: Wow.
[0:11:38 – 0:11:38] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:38 – 0:11:40] Erik: No, it’s according to Spotify.
[0:11:40 – 0:11:42] Erik: We’ve got 199 out there in the world.
[0:11:42 – 0:11:43] Erik: This is 200.
[0:11:44 – 0:11:44] Erik: Wow.
[0:11:44 – 0:11:45] Erik: All right.
[0:11:45 – 0:11:45] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:45 – 0:11:52] Erik: Well, we’re officially not going to blow the top off of the champagne until we actually get to the proper.
[0:11:52 – 0:11:54] Adam: This is the technical 200.
[0:11:54 – 0:11:55] Adam: Technically.
[0:11:55 – 0:11:56] Adam: Technical 200.
[0:11:57 – 0:12:02] Erik: All right, well, I’m extra thirsty, as is the case typically in the shed here.
[0:12:03 – 0:12:06] Erik: We can get to more of your notes, but we should.
[0:12:06 – 0:12:20] Erik: I know Hopalicious likes to tune out as soon as we get to the beer sponsorship, so let’s let him get back to his regularly scheduled life and get to this beer sponsorship, which I did get an email on.
[0:12:21 – 0:12:24] Adam: Concerned heart donor.
[0:12:24 – 0:12:26] Adam: Have you heard of our patronage?
[0:12:26 – 0:12:51] Adam: please please let go let my father be free yeah they i think we mentioned that one of the beers from last week was uh from a certain date and time and this uh this fellow reached out and was like i just want to make sure my beard didn’t get lost in the mix i also want to make sure go ahead and say right now we do have a whiteboard but we have not actually cataloged the current uh catalog of beer so
[0:12:51 – 0:12:58] Adam: No, we’ve only been using it to just… We’re still going to be going on guesstimation for at least the next, I don’t know, I would say 200 episodes.
[0:12:58 – 0:13:01] Adam: But after that, we’re probably going to have it all sorted out.
[0:13:01 – 0:13:09] Erik: This is, yeah, we’ve only used the whiteboard for accruing all of the potential movies we’re going to review.
[0:13:09 – 0:13:11] Adam: A couple cool magnets up there.
[0:13:12 – 0:13:13] Erik: Yeah, got a nice Florida magnet.
[0:13:14 – 0:13:22] Erik: This is from you backslash USS underscore sun glitter.
[0:13:23 – 0:13:25] Erik: And it’s from Chanhassen.
[0:13:26 – 0:13:27] Erik: Chanhassen Brewing Company.
[0:13:28 – 0:13:30] Erik: And this is a Chanhassen.
[0:13:32 – 0:13:38] Erik: And the artwork seems to me like it is the side profile of some stacked logs.
[0:13:38 – 0:13:39] Erik: Looks like a woodshed.
[0:13:39 – 0:13:41] Erik: Which is appropriate for this time of year.
[0:13:41 – 0:13:43] Erik: If your woodshed’s not in order, you’re in trouble, my friend.
[0:13:43 – 0:13:44] Adam: Better get your woodshed together.
[0:13:46 – 0:13:46] Erik: Oh.
[0:13:46 – 0:13:47] Erik: That’s stereo.
[0:13:47 – 0:13:49] Erik: Wow, that was a… 3D.
[0:13:49 – 0:13:54] Erik: That was a slosher over onto the computer that is currently recording our words.
[0:13:54 – 0:13:55] Adam: Yeah, don’t worry about that.
[0:13:55 – 0:13:58] Erik: This is the last you ever hear from us.
[0:13:58 – 0:13:59] Erik: You can blame…
[0:14:00 – 0:14:09] Adam: Either the computers electrocuted us or there was a demon in the Chanhassen that was summoned by Eric reading from the Book of the Dead.
[0:14:09 – 0:14:11] Adam: Either way, pretty good looking can.
[0:14:11 – 0:14:15] Adam: This thing’s about the size of a small child.
[0:14:15 – 0:14:18] Erik: Yeah, it’s probably the size of your child right now.
[0:14:19 – 0:14:20] Erik: That’s an image.
[0:14:20 – 0:14:28] Adam: Seriously, if you look at the app right now, it says, like, yeah, baby’s about the size of a large Chanhassen Chattin’ Hoppin’ In.
[0:14:29 – 0:14:30] Erik: Chattin’ Hoppin’ In.
[0:14:30 – 0:14:31] Erik: Same weight, too.
[0:14:31 – 0:14:35] Erik: I mean, it makes sense that they would compare that to sizes of, like, beer cans.
[0:14:36 – 0:14:37] Erik: Seems medically appropriate.
[0:14:38 – 0:14:41] Adam: Yeah, something I can relate to.
[0:14:41 – 0:14:42] Adam: Yeah, well.
[0:14:42 – 0:14:43] Adam: He knows.
[0:14:43 – 0:14:49] Erik: You put in your information into the app, and then they know exactly what should I relate the size of this child to them.
[0:14:50 – 0:14:53] Erik: You take somebody, for example, who’s into something entirely different.
[0:14:54 – 0:14:57] Erik: Let’s say, like, cantaloupe gardening.
[0:14:57 – 0:15:02] Erik: You’d be like, well, it’s currently the size of a four-month-old cantaloupe.
[0:15:03 – 0:15:05] Adam: Or one of those small cantaloupes they have.
[0:15:05 – 0:15:07] Adam: Or a two-month-old cantaloupe.
[0:15:07 – 0:15:09] Adam: Those pygmy cantaloupes.
[0:15:09 – 0:15:10] Adam: Pygmy cantaloupes.
[0:15:10 – 0:15:12] Adam: Pickled pygmy cantaloupes.
[0:15:12 – 0:15:13] Adam: Oh, it’s so good.
[0:15:13 – 0:15:14] Adam: It’s so good.
[0:15:14 – 0:15:16] Adam: We should get some of those for the shed.
[0:15:16 – 0:15:18] Erik: It might be a little off-season.
[0:15:19 – 0:15:43] Erik: yeah let’s ship them in okay ship them in what’s the uh gold uh golden lion what’s that uh there’s that uh food website slash app where you can just get like food from any restaurant in the country it’s gold lion i think it’s called that the food app i don’t know i don’t we don’t have that up here i’m pretty sure no you can get it anywhere
[0:15:44 – 0:15:45] Adam: The Food Lion will show up?
[0:15:46 – 0:15:46] Erik: The Food Lion.
[0:15:46 – 0:15:47] Erik: I don’t think so.
[0:15:48 – 0:15:49] Adam: Well, Eric’s looking up the Food Lion.
[0:15:49 – 0:15:50] Adam: Gold Belly.
[0:15:50 – 0:15:51] Adam: Gold Belly.
[0:15:51 – 0:15:52] Erik: Check out Gold Belly.
[0:15:52 – 0:16:11] Erik: You can literally, like, if you’ve been to a restaurant that you really liked in another city, they will, like, ship to you with, like, prepackaged, basically, like, whatever the, like, same idea behind, like, blue menu or blue… Half of the different…
[0:16:12 – 0:16:24] Erik: advertisers on podcasts these days for like make at home meals you can get that from like some of your favorite like restaurants more like like specific restaurants not chains or anything so
[0:16:25 – 0:16:30] Adam: This is like a meal kit or like the food is cooked and then like vacuum sealed and shipped to you.
[0:16:30 – 0:16:34] Erik: No, I would say closer to like a meal kit thing where you like, you kind of have to do some prep.
[0:16:34 – 0:16:37] Adam: Yeah, I’ve toyed with the idea of putting out like a meal kit.
[0:16:38 – 0:16:39] Adam: I’ve seen this.
[0:16:39 – 0:16:41] Adam: Starting another business where you put out a meal kit?
[0:16:41 – 0:16:41] Adam: No, just at the co-op.
[0:16:42 – 0:16:42] Erik: Oh, sure.
[0:16:42 – 0:16:43] Erik: I got you.
[0:16:43 – 0:16:45] Adam: You know, throw it in the case.
[0:16:45 – 0:16:46] Adam: There you go.
[0:16:46 – 0:16:46] Adam: Dinner.
[0:16:47 – 0:16:47] Adam: Yeah.
[0:16:48 – 0:16:48] Adam: There you go.
[0:16:48 – 0:16:49] Adam: That’s dinner.
[0:16:49 – 0:16:49] Erik: Yeah.
[0:16:49 – 0:16:53] Erik: Like you could get sushi from like a crazy.
[0:16:53 – 0:16:53] Erik: Yeah.
[0:16:54 – 0:16:57] Erik: You could get some New York City sushi to your door.
[0:16:57 – 0:17:02] Erik: You can choose the date and it’ll show up in like a big insulated container.
[0:17:02 – 0:17:03] Erik: I’ve never done this.
[0:17:03 – 0:17:03] Erik: I’m just assuming.
[0:17:04 – 0:17:05] Adam: Boy, are you sure?
[0:17:05 – 0:17:05] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:17:05 – 0:17:07] Adam: I can’t even get like labels for my labeler.
[0:17:09 – 0:17:10] Erik: It’s a supply chain issue.
[0:17:10 – 0:17:13] Adam: Can I get labels for the labeler any time in the next month?
[0:17:13 – 0:17:14] Adam: No.
[0:17:14 – 0:17:20] Adam: Can I get sushi from insert famous sushi restaurant in Manhattan tomorrow?
[0:17:20 – 0:17:22] Erik: Oui.
[0:17:23 – 0:17:32] Erik: Well, you know, just get big Sharpies and just start writing on the packaging at the co-op in big Sharpies.
[0:17:32 – 0:17:33] Adam: I think that’s legal.
[0:17:34 – 0:17:37] Adam: As a certified food safety manager, I’m pretty sure that’s legal.
[0:17:37 – 0:17:43] Erik: Yeah, just draw a QR code with a… Yeah, I’m pretty good at that, actually.
[0:17:43 – 0:17:47] Erik: Yeah, just get a fine tip sharpie, draw a QR code, and that links to the ingredients.
[0:17:47 – 0:17:50] Adam: Ultimate doodles.
[0:17:50 – 0:17:53] Adam: Big shout out on the subreddit.
[0:17:54 – 0:17:56] Adam: We’re over 700 now?
[0:17:56 – 0:17:58] Erik: No, we should be.
[0:17:58 – 0:17:58] Erik: 640?
[0:17:59 – 0:18:01] Adam: Well, someday we’ll be there.
[0:18:01 – 0:18:03] Erik: Come home, the boat game.
[0:18:03 – 0:18:07] Erik: I’ll eat a bucket of Squatchos if we make it to 700 by Thanksgiving.
[0:18:08 – 0:18:08] Adam: Wow.
[0:18:10 – 0:18:11] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:18:11 – 0:18:13] Erik: It’s the fifth or sixth time I’ve made the Squatcho promise.
[0:18:13 – 0:18:16] Adam: Squatchos, they never get you.
[0:18:16 – 0:18:18] Adam: One of these days they’re going to get you, though, Eric.
[0:18:19 – 0:18:23] Erik: Yeah, it’s the Jude Law sequel, Squatcho Promises.
[0:18:24 – 0:18:25] Adam: Who put up the…
[0:18:26 – 0:18:30] Adam: It was a beautiful Tumble Home boat board.
[0:18:30 – 0:18:32] Adam: It was a boat game, like a video boat game.
[0:18:32 – 0:18:33] Erik: Oh, Aldi One.
[0:18:33 – 0:18:40] Erik: You always know if there’s somebody that puts in a lot of effort into something like that, Aldi One is to blame in a good way.
[0:18:40 – 0:18:40] Adam: Yeah.
[0:18:41 – 0:18:43] Adam: Probably a moderator on high-quality gifts, I would say.
[0:18:43 – 0:18:47] Erik: Yeah, it’s like an arcade video to start Tumble Home.
[0:18:47 – 0:18:48] Erik: Choose your boat.
[0:18:48 – 0:18:49] Erik: Choose your boat.
[0:18:49 – 0:18:51] Erik: And I love the different…
[0:18:51 – 0:18:51] Erik: There’s…
[0:18:53 – 0:18:58] Adam: I got to say right now, this is better than any version of Tumble Home, the board game that ever occurred.
[0:18:59 – 0:19:03] Adam: This little, this like 15 second super gif.
[0:19:03 – 0:19:07] Erik: I was super, like for a hot second, I was like trying to click on it.
[0:19:07 – 0:19:10] Adam: I think a lot of the comments were like, I was trying to select a boat.
[0:19:11 – 0:19:12] Adam: I don’t want to be an otto.
[0:19:13 – 0:19:14] Adam: Maybe I did want to be an otto.
[0:19:14 – 0:19:17] Erik: Chinese wabakini made it in as a hard setting.
[0:19:17 – 0:19:19] Erik: Of course, language barrier.
[0:19:19 – 0:19:20] Erik: Yeah.
[0:19:23 – 0:19:34] Erik: I thought the 16, 8, maybe 8-bit representation of both of us was pretty accurate.
[0:19:34 – 0:19:39] Adam: Yeah, it looked more like a Super Nintendo, like a 16-bit, I would say, rep. Yeah.
[0:19:40 – 0:19:41] Adam: Yeah, they did pretty good.
[0:19:41 – 0:19:43] Adam: Are there pictures of us on the internet or something?
[0:19:43 – 0:19:45] Adam: How do they know what we look like?
[0:19:45 – 0:19:50] Erik: Yeah, we keep things pretty close to the chest when it comes to our personal lives and our appearances and sharing all that stuff.
[0:19:50 – 0:19:59] Adam: Not sharing all my major milestones in my life on this podcast as they happen or oversharing on Instagram with images of me wearing no shirts or anything.
[0:19:59 – 0:20:00] Adam: Yeah, no.
[0:20:00 – 0:20:01] Erik: We wouldn’t do that.
[0:20:01 – 0:20:01] Erik: No.
[0:20:02 – 0:20:03] Erik: I mean, it’s mysterious.
[0:20:03 – 0:20:05] Erik: I mean, that was from the get-go.
[0:20:05 – 0:20:07] Erik: We said, let’s keep it mysterious.
[0:20:07 – 0:20:09] Erik: Let’s be very vague about everything.
[0:20:09 – 0:20:12] Erik: And I think we followed through on that, which has been our goal.
[0:20:12 – 0:20:14] Adam: We’re 200 episodes in and we still don’t know their names.
[0:20:15 – 0:20:19] Erik: Yeah, they’re very esoteric, and we’re going to keep it that way.
[0:20:19 – 0:20:22] Erik: Do you have any other notes over there?
[0:20:22 – 0:20:23] Adam: Yeah, the Vindleys.
[0:20:24 – 0:20:24] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:20:24 – 0:20:26] Erik: You seen them?
[0:20:26 – 0:20:26] Erik: I saw them.
[0:20:26 – 0:20:27] Erik: You heard about this?
[0:20:27 – 0:20:28] Erik: I saw them.
[0:20:28 – 0:20:30] Adam: Anybody else listening seen them?
[0:20:31 – 0:20:31] Adam: Did you?
[0:20:33 – 0:20:35] Adam: Monday night, ring a bell?
[0:20:35 – 0:20:37] Erik: Does Monday night ring a bell?
[0:20:37 – 0:20:43] Adam: So it was like a KPS 6, and it was cloudy to beat the Dickens, like a serious fog storm almost.
[0:20:44 – 0:20:47] Adam: When I got home, I was like, well, I guess I ain’t going to see him.
[0:20:47 – 0:20:49] Adam: I guess I ain’t going to see him.
[0:20:50 – 0:20:53] Adam: I was watching some Westworld quite late.
[0:20:53 – 0:20:54] Adam: It was like 11.30.
[0:20:54 – 0:20:57] Adam: I got to go take the dog out.
[0:20:57 – 0:21:01] Adam: I’m like, those are some stars and…
[0:21:02 – 0:21:03] Adam: It is appearing to be the northern lights.
[0:21:03 – 0:21:05] Adam: So then I let the dog out.
[0:21:05 – 0:21:05] Adam: I come back in.
[0:21:05 – 0:21:07] Adam: I turned off all the lights in the house.
[0:21:07 – 0:21:09] Adam: Turned off all the lights outside.
[0:21:09 – 0:21:11] Adam: Even all the Christmas lights, Eric.
[0:21:11 – 0:21:13] Adam: You know, I liked my Christmas lights.
[0:21:14 – 0:21:15] Adam: And went out.
[0:21:15 – 0:21:17] Adam: And sure enough, the northern lights are out.
[0:21:18 – 0:21:19] Adam: Pretty cool.
[0:21:19 – 0:21:19] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:20 – 0:21:23] Adam: Probably some of the best ones I’ve seen in the last couple years, I would say.
[0:21:23 – 0:21:24] Erik: It’s been years, yeah.
[0:21:24 – 0:21:26] Erik: And it was like a crack in the clouds.
[0:21:26 – 0:21:29] Adam: Yeah, and there was clouds moving over them, which made them almost better somehow.
[0:21:30 – 0:21:32] Adam: Yeah, I stayed up quite late.
[0:21:34 – 0:21:35] Adam: It was exquisite.
[0:21:35 – 0:21:36] Adam: And I’m not even kidding.
[0:21:36 – 0:21:38] Adam: I got this fancy phone now.
[0:21:39 – 0:21:48] Adam: I used to have, as Eric did, this tripod with the remote control and three-minute exposures with the…
[0:21:49 – 0:21:50] Adam: What’s a high ISO?
[0:21:50 – 0:21:50] Adam: 1,200?
[0:21:50 – 0:21:51] Adam: Not anymore.
[0:21:51 – 0:21:53] Erik: That’s too much ISO.
[0:21:53 – 0:21:57] Erik: It used to be high, but you can go 10,000.
[0:21:57 – 0:21:58] Erik: What?
[0:21:58 – 0:21:59] Erik: You get a lot of noise.
[0:22:00 – 0:22:02] Erik: That’s the problem with going with a high ISO.
[0:22:02 – 0:22:04] Adam: I think 1,200 is fine for an ISO.
[0:22:04 – 0:22:05] Adam: Anyways, you don’t need any of that now.
[0:22:05 – 0:22:11] Adam: You just point your phone at it with your hand, four-second exposure, and you got yourself a pretty nice picture.
[0:22:12 – 0:22:12] Erik: Crazy.
[0:22:13 – 0:22:20] Adam: I was like super impressed with, I’m not shilling for the phone or whatever, but very impressed with the camera on the phone.
[0:22:20 – 0:22:22] Adam: It like just straight up with like a handhold.
[0:22:22 – 0:22:26] Adam: I wasn’t even trying to brace it on the edge of the decking or anything.
[0:22:26 – 0:22:29] Erik: Just, yeah, it looks pretty good.
[0:22:29 – 0:22:30] Erik: It looks pretty good.
[0:22:30 – 0:22:30] Adam: Yeah.
[0:22:30 – 0:22:35] Adam: I stayed up, I would say until one and then I went to bed and I could still see him like out the window.
[0:22:36 – 0:22:38] Adam: So I couldn’t sleep at all, but it was worth it.
[0:22:39 – 0:22:41] Adam: Got my week off on the right foot.
[0:22:41 – 0:22:42] Adam: You saw him.
[0:22:42 – 0:22:44] Erik: Yeah.
[0:22:44 – 0:22:51] Erik: I have a steep hill to the north, so it wasn’t quite as extreme as I imagined some people who had large horizons or lakes to the north.
[0:22:52 – 0:22:53] Erik: But even where I was at, it was…
[0:22:54 – 0:22:56] Adam: I’m just in the woods by the river here.
[0:22:56 – 0:22:57] Erik: You could see the spires.
[0:22:57 – 0:23:03] Erik: And there was always just that low cloud where I was like, I guarantee if I busted out the camera, it would be a massive wall of…
[0:23:05 – 0:23:33] Erik: highly green fog but then you know for a while it was like yeah it just looks like a lit up cloud but then we hung out long enough and it was like you started getting the yeah the beamers big beamers pulsers yeah big beamers i’m gonna go back and big beamers retroactively change the name of the uh episodes that we talked about the vindleys and christian berkland just call them big beamers yeah one two and tree big beamers yeah that’s pretty good uh
[0:23:35 – 0:23:36] Adam: Arrow, knock it off.
[0:23:37 – 0:23:38] Adam: Arrow’s here with us in the shed.
[0:23:39 – 0:23:41] Adam: She likes the Northern Lights as well.
[0:23:44 – 0:24:12] Adam: yeah it was a pretty good show um but yeah then the clouds kind of moved back in and it was like all right i gotta go lay down but you can still even through the clouds see them later they were bright i mean i don’t really have a horizon but they’re up there and it’s one of the few times where i’ve actually seen like the pink to reddish color like just naked eye naked eye yeah and the phone was picking them up like crazy i mean like i said it’s like a three second exposure
[0:24:12 – 0:24:13] Adam: Something like that on night mode.
[0:24:14 – 0:24:15] Adam: Night mode.
[0:24:15 – 0:24:15] Adam: Just auto.
[0:24:16 – 0:24:16] Adam: Nailing them.
[0:24:17 – 0:24:19] Adam: I was like, geez, these are some of the best.
[0:24:19 – 0:24:25] Adam: I used to have a camera on a tripod and never got pictures like that.
[0:24:26 – 0:24:27] Adam: Just like holding it.
[0:24:28 – 0:24:29] Adam: I mean, it doesn’t even seem right.
[0:24:30 – 0:24:31] Erik: Does not seem right.
[0:24:31 – 0:24:31] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:24:31 – 0:24:36] Erik: We’re not necessarily to the point where the camera phone has replaced the digital SLR.
[0:24:37 – 0:24:38] Erik: But boy, for ease…
[0:24:40 – 0:24:43] Erik: It’s hard to bust out that chonker of a camera these days.
[0:24:44 – 0:24:45] Erik: What are you giving these Chanhassans?
[0:24:45 – 0:24:52] Adam: I’m going to give this chonker happening digital SLR hazy IPA.
[0:24:52 – 0:24:57] Adam: I’m going to give it a 6 out of 6 KP indexes.
[0:24:57 – 0:24:58] Erik: Wow.
[0:24:58 – 0:25:00] Erik: What’s the max on the KP?
[0:25:00 – 0:25:00] Erik: Isn’t it 8?
[0:25:01 – 0:25:01] Adam: 8.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:04] Adam: Never seen to 8.
[0:25:04 – 0:25:05] Adam: No.
[0:25:05 – 0:25:10] Adam: Well, 10’s like, you know, your precious little phone camera’s never going to work again.
[0:25:11 – 0:25:12] Adam: You get to a 10.
[0:25:12 – 0:25:13] Erik: Nobody’s ever going to work again.
[0:25:13 – 0:25:17] Adam: The party lights in the shed, they’ve gone dark.
[0:25:17 – 0:25:26] Erik: Yeah, the entire electromagnetic field will shut down human life as we know it if we get a 10, at least for some time.
[0:25:27 – 0:25:29] Adam: And the poles will shift several times.
[0:25:30 – 0:25:32] Erik: Yeah, I’ll go ahead and give it…
[0:25:32 – 0:25:32] Erik: Pretty good.
[0:25:33 – 0:25:40] Erik: Pretty good out of you don’t have your woodshed filled up enough for the time of year.
[0:25:40 – 0:25:40] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:40 – 0:25:44] Adam: I feel like the woodshed’s pretty set.
[0:25:44 – 0:25:50] Adam: I mean, last weekend already, I was kind of getting yard stuff together, waiting for that first snow.
[0:25:50 – 0:25:51] Adam: It’s right there.
[0:25:51 – 0:25:52] Adam: I haven’t gotten it yet.
[0:25:52 – 0:25:52] Adam: You can feel it.
[0:25:53 – 0:25:54] Erik: Are we going to get a frost this weekend?
[0:25:55 – 0:25:56] Adam: I mean, it’s cold right now in the shed.
[0:25:57 – 0:25:59] Adam: Yeah, I almost could see your breath before.
[0:25:59 – 0:25:59] Adam: You can.
[0:25:59 – 0:26:00] Erik: Look at that.
[0:26:00 – 0:26:06] Adam: Yeah, we got the heater going, but it’s quite a nice, hard shed.
[0:26:06 – 0:26:07] Erik: Sorry, I’m just vaping, actually.
[0:26:08 – 0:26:09] Erik: Yeah, well, you had that problem.
[0:26:09 – 0:26:10] Erik: Residual vaping.
[0:26:11 – 0:26:18] Erik: Yeah, no, it’s crazy how far into this fall we’ve gotten without a legitimate frost.
[0:26:19 – 0:26:19] Adam: Yeah.
[0:26:19 – 0:26:21] Adam: We haven’t had one.
[0:26:21 – 0:26:24] Adam: The National Weather Service just put out a statement for the Northland.
[0:26:25 – 0:26:26] Adam: The North Country.
[0:26:26 – 0:26:33] Erik: And they were just like, yeah, we’re not going to issue a frost or freeze advisory now because we’re past when it really makes a difference to anybody.
[0:26:33 – 0:26:34] Erik: What about my carrots?
[0:26:34 – 0:26:35] Erik: Expect it now.
[0:26:35 – 0:26:37] Adam: I still have some carrots in the ground.
[0:26:37 – 0:26:37] Adam: Do you?
[0:26:37 – 0:26:38] Adam: Yeah.
[0:26:38 – 0:26:40] Adam: I am picking them tomorrow, though.
[0:26:40 – 0:26:40] Erik: You should wait.
[0:26:41 – 0:26:46] Erik: A frost and or a little freeze actually will imbue them with a little bit more flavor.
[0:26:46 – 0:26:51] Adam: Keep them in the, yeah, they’re in like this big like bucket pot thing.
[0:26:51 – 0:26:52] Adam: Nice.
[0:26:52 – 0:26:53] Adam: It’s like a bag pot.
[0:26:53 – 0:26:54] Adam: A bag pot.
[0:26:54 – 0:26:57] Adam: You know, anybody out there’s garden, you know what I’m saying.
[0:26:57 – 0:26:59] Adam: It’s one of those like compost bags full of carrots.
[0:27:00 – 0:27:00] Erik: Yeah.
[0:27:00 – 0:27:01] Adam: It’s looking good.
[0:27:01 – 0:27:03] Adam: I mean, I’m just getting anxious now.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:05] Adam: I want to pick them, but it seems too late.
[0:27:05 – 0:27:06] Adam: But you’re right.
[0:27:06 – 0:27:07] Adam: You’ve got to wait.
[0:27:07 – 0:27:08] Adam: Be patient.
[0:27:08 – 0:27:10] Erik: Give them a little bit of that frost juice.
[0:27:10 – 0:27:13] Adam: I think I am going to go out and dig up the compost pit, though, and turn that.
[0:27:14 – 0:27:15] Adam: I’m going to turn that sucker.
[0:27:15 – 0:27:16] Erik: Turn that sucker.
[0:27:16 – 0:27:21] Adam: Yeah, I think during the Packers game on Sunday, I’m going to go out and just play the Packers on the radio.
[0:27:22 – 0:27:28] Adam: Me, Wayne, Larry, the baby, Natalie, we’re going to get out there and churn that.
[0:27:28 – 0:27:29] Adam: The compost.
[0:27:31 – 0:27:32] Adam: Baby’s first composting.
[0:27:32 – 0:27:35] Adam: Yeah, we’re going to move that compost around a little bit on Sunday.
[0:27:35 – 0:27:39] Adam: It’s supposed to be really nice on Sunday, but that looks to me like the last really nice day.
[0:27:40 – 0:27:46] Erik: Yeah, I’m closing in on a little over a week from being able to not be homeless.
[0:27:50 – 0:27:50] Adam: Pew, pew, pew.
[0:27:50 – 0:27:51] Adam: Pew, pew, pew.
[0:27:51 – 0:27:53] Adam: Pew, pew, pew.
[0:27:53 – 0:27:54] Erik: Single tear.
[0:27:58 – 0:27:59] Erik: Is that the, why?
[0:28:00 – 0:28:01] Erik: We’re almost at 30 minutes.
[0:28:01 – 0:28:04] Erik: How does it, how does it happen?
[0:28:05 – 0:28:09] Adam: Honestly, I could talk to you for hours about anything.
[0:28:09 – 0:28:09] Adam: It doesn’t matter.
[0:28:10 – 0:28:11] Erik: Is it interesting?
[0:28:11 – 0:28:11] Erik: Is it not?
[0:28:12 – 0:28:12] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:28:13 – 0:28:19] Erik: But I do know that for the longest time I have heard, well, starting those podcasts, it’s kind of tough.
[0:28:19 – 0:28:23] Erik: It’s tough to keep the conversation going.
[0:28:23 – 0:28:24] Erik: Most people max out at 10.
[0:28:24 – 0:28:27] Erik: I’m like, I have a hard time getting to actual content.
[0:28:28 – 0:28:54] Adam: like under 20 minutes god forbid 30 at this point it’s a problem we are problematic maybe we got that heater turned up from low to high maybe is what we need but i’m feeling comfortable yeah it’s feeling pretty good in here like i said double hoodie kind of double hoodie kind of weather no i can i can feel the chill but i’m not like it’s nice it’s a good chill i’m not shivering
[0:28:55 – 0:29:03] Erik: So we’re doing just a little light question of the week, a quick one that we dropped on you five days ago.
[0:29:03 – 0:29:04] Erik: Sorry if you didn’t get in on it.
[0:29:05 – 0:29:06] Adam: Quick turnaround on that one.
[0:29:07 – 0:29:07] Adam: Unexpected.
[0:29:07 – 0:29:08] Adam: The big one.
[0:29:08 – 0:29:09] Adam: What’s with the deal?
[0:29:09 – 0:29:13] Adam: They’re beer sponsors from May, but their question of the week is from five days ago.
[0:29:14 – 0:29:15] Adam: These guys don’t know what they’re doing.
[0:29:15 – 0:29:15] Adam: That’s not fair.
[0:29:15 – 0:29:17] Erik: Have you ever podcasted before?
[0:29:17 – 0:29:18] Adam: Apparently not.
[0:29:18 – 0:29:24] Adam: Are they trying to put a rift in time and space in which a demon might come back or forth?
[0:29:25 – 0:29:25] Erik: Yeah.
[0:29:25 – 0:29:28] Erik: You know what would have been a crazy thing that we could have done is…
[0:29:34 – 0:29:47] Erik: the difference between the October paddling question and the beginning of the season, whatever the closest episode to that, drop a little like hint in there.
[0:29:47 – 0:29:59] Erik: We should start doing that, doing mathematical algorithms out and then like inciting things where we like put in like references that don’t make sense at all during the episode, but we just know in the future.
[0:30:00 – 0:30:02] Adam: Is this count as incepting?
[0:30:02 – 0:30:03] Adam: Are we incepting then?
[0:30:04 – 0:30:05] Erik: Yeah, I mean borderline incepting.
[0:30:07 – 0:30:08] Erik: I’m going to get on Amazon.
[0:30:09 – 0:30:10] Adam: That sounds okay to me.
[0:30:10 – 0:30:11] Adam: I’m going to get on Amazon.
[0:30:11 – 0:30:12] Adam: So has this already begun?
[0:30:12 – 0:30:13] Erik: I’m going to buy a bunch of tops.
[0:30:14 – 0:30:15] Adam: I’m going to buy a bunch of tops tonight.
[0:30:15 – 0:30:16] Adam: Top hats.
[0:30:16 – 0:30:17] Erik: And top hats.
[0:30:18 – 0:30:21] Adam: Well, I mean, so is this already going on then?
[0:30:22 – 0:30:24] Adam: Have we already been incepted?
[0:30:25 – 0:30:26] Adam: Will we ever know?
[0:30:27 – 0:30:29] Adam: Am I going mad?
[0:30:29 – 0:30:34] Adam: Well, that was a pretty good Unky Endicott.
[0:30:34 – 0:30:37] Adam: Pretty solid Unky Endicott there.
[0:30:37 – 0:30:38] Adam: Going mad?
[0:30:40 – 0:30:43] Erik: So yeah, October paddling in the Boundary Waters.
[0:30:44 – 0:30:45] Adam: Thoughts?
[0:30:45 – 0:30:45] Adam: Feelings?
[0:30:46 – 0:30:46] Adam: Emotions?
[0:30:48 – 0:30:52] Adam: Have you swam and been snowed on on the same day?
[0:30:52 – 0:30:53] Erik: Not on the same day.
[0:30:53 – 0:30:57] Erik: We did not get any responses that made that seem like it was a thing.
[0:30:57 – 0:31:05] Adam: I’m resolved now after talking about that that when it starts to snow whatever day in the next week, go jump in the lake quick.
[0:31:06 – 0:31:07] Adam: Just swim in the snow.
[0:31:07 – 0:31:07] Adam: Sure.
[0:31:08 – 0:31:08] Adam: Same day.
[0:31:09 – 0:31:10] Adam: That would be the thing to do.
[0:31:10 – 0:31:11] Adam: Yeah, I want to try it.
[0:31:12 – 0:31:13] Adam: It’s the opposite of a hot spring.
[0:31:14 – 0:31:15] Erik: It’s a snow spring.
[0:31:15 – 0:31:16] Erik: It’s a snow spring.
[0:31:16 – 0:31:19] Erik: You got to have a sauna close at hand.
[0:31:20 – 0:31:20] Adam: Yeah, you do.
[0:31:21 – 0:31:23] Adam: Not just a Pontiac Vibe with the heater on full blast.
[0:31:24 – 0:31:24] Adam: This week.
[0:31:24 – 0:31:25] Erik: That’ll do.
[0:31:25 – 0:31:29] Erik: Also sponsored by Coghlan’s brand pocket sauna.
[0:31:32 – 0:31:34] Erik: It’s just a garbage bag.
[0:31:34 – 0:31:37] Adam: Yeah, what about like a helmet sauna?
[0:31:38 – 0:31:39] Adam: Ooh, just for the head.
[0:31:41 – 0:31:41] Adam: Keep your brain warm.
[0:31:42 – 0:31:43] Adam: You’re just fine.
[0:31:43 – 0:31:45] Adam: Yeah, don’t want to get that brain freeze.
[0:31:45 – 0:31:46] Adam: The body will follow.
[0:31:47 – 0:31:49] Adam: Coghlan’s brain sauna.
[0:31:50 – 0:31:54] Adam: Coghlan’s brain sauna.
[0:31:55 – 0:31:57] Adam: I just experienced a brain sauna, I believe.
[0:31:58 – 0:31:58] Erik: Yeah.
[0:31:58 – 0:32:01] Erik: I mean, if anybody has taught me anything… Shan Hassan.
[0:32:02 – 0:32:03] Adam: Brain saunas.
[0:32:04 – 0:32:05] Erik: All right.
[0:32:05 – 0:32:06] Erik: Good night.
[0:32:06 – 0:32:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:32:06 – 0:32:12] Erik: I mean, welcome to Tumble Home, the first ever reverse podcast.
[0:32:14 – 0:32:17] Erik: We’re all over the board.
[0:32:18 – 0:32:19] Erik: Let’s get into some responses.
[0:32:19 – 0:32:21] Erik: I mean, I think at this point…
[0:32:22 – 0:32:24] Erik: Unless this is your first episode, hello, welcome.
[0:32:25 – 0:32:26] Erik: What was it?
[0:32:26 – 0:32:28] Erik: TumbleHomeCast at gmail.com.
[0:32:28 – 0:32:34] Erik: What was it about the episode title that drew you to this being your first listen?
[0:32:34 – 0:32:35] Erik: Because I want to know.
[0:32:36 – 0:32:40] Adam: We don’t even know what the episode title is at this point, so that’s even more interesting.
[0:32:40 – 0:32:42] Erik: I mean, there’s some frontrunners.
[0:32:43 – 0:32:45] Erik: We’ve got Revisiting Eggs.
[0:32:46 – 0:32:47] Erik: We’ve got Brain Sauna.
[0:32:48 – 0:32:49] Adam: Brain sauna’s pretty good.
[0:32:49 – 0:32:50] Erik: Brain sauna’s pretty good.
[0:32:50 – 0:32:51] Erik: Pocket sauna.
[0:32:51 – 0:32:54] Adam: I’m going to just go ahead and write down brain sauna.
[0:32:55 – 0:32:55] Adam: Yeah, write it down.
[0:32:56 – 0:32:58] Adam: Now I know for sure I’m being reverse-incepted.
[0:33:00 – 0:33:03] Erik: But if this is your first episode, welcome.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:05] Erik: Hello.
[0:33:05 – 0:33:12] Erik: But obviously most, if not all, of our listeners have been with us for darn near 300 episodes.
[0:33:15 – 0:33:22] Erik: And you’ve heard our stories on the October paddling that we’ve been endeavored on.
[0:33:23 – 0:33:24] Erik: Multiple Quetico trips.
[0:33:26 – 0:33:40] Erik: Yes, starting out in the sun, the swim, the bask, and then end on the pain, the numb fingers, the breaking through of ice, and the ruining of wood paddles.
[0:33:42 – 0:33:46] Erik: And the short days, my God, the days they get short towards the end of October.
[0:33:46 – 0:33:49] Adam: Yeah, it’s always after dark, almost.
[0:33:50 – 0:33:51] Erik: Almost always after dark.
[0:33:51 – 0:33:52] Erik: No sleeping in.
[0:33:52 – 0:33:53] Erik: No time to sleep in.
[0:33:53 – 0:33:54] Erik: You got to get up.
[0:33:54 – 0:33:56] Erik: You got to paddle.
[0:33:58 – 0:34:01] Erik: But there are certain aspects, especially of the first half of October, that
[0:34:03 – 0:34:04] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:34:04 – 0:34:07] Erik: At the risk of blowing it up even more than it already has been.
[0:34:09 – 0:34:10] Erik: Severely underrated.
[0:34:10 – 0:34:14] Erik: They might need to bump that permit entry quota date back a couple of weeks.
[0:34:15 – 0:34:16] Adam: Don’t give them any ideas, please.
[0:34:17 – 0:34:20] Erik: I could give the Forest Service all of the ideas and they wouldn’t take them.
[0:34:21 – 0:34:21] Adam: I’d sue you.
[0:34:22 – 0:34:24] Adam: Accus you of being a paddle witch.
[0:34:25 – 0:34:26] Adam: A paddle witch.
[0:34:30 – 0:34:32] Erik: That paddle’s been 3D printed.
[0:34:35 – 0:34:35] Erik: Yeah.
[0:34:35 – 0:34:38] Erik: So, I mean, I’m sure some of our stories will come up.
[0:34:39 – 0:34:45] Erik: We don’t have a ton of responses, but, you know, I think we’ll start with some of the thoughts we generally just wanted to know.
[0:34:46 – 0:34:57] Erik: Like October, I would say in general, up until maybe a few years ago, was just one of those months that never really like flew in the face of very many people as a
[0:34:58 – 0:35:25] Erik: hey let’s head up to the boundary waters and go on a trip that’s your grizzled solo when i first started up here they were like we’re closing the lodge down on labor day well yeah and there was also that you’re crazy outfitters and lodges are all all closing down anyway too so you kind of have to be well like prepared on your own end it’s pro season i mean this is the playoffs there you go that’s another good title for the episode pro write that one down too write it down whiteboard
[0:35:26 – 0:35:28] Adam: Yeah, old paperboard down here.
[0:35:28 – 0:35:29] Adam: Just throw it to the whiteboard.
[0:35:30 – 0:35:31] Erik: I just wrote produce.
[0:35:31 – 0:35:34] Erik: Is there such a thing as a smart whiteboard?
[0:35:34 – 0:35:35] Erik: Just throw it to the whiteboard.
[0:35:35 – 0:35:36] Erik: Just jot it down and then go like that.
[0:35:36 – 0:35:37] Adam: I have an old iPad 1.
[0:35:37 – 0:35:39] Adam: We can get like a trace on that.
[0:35:39 – 0:35:40] Erik: Flip it to the whiteboard.
[0:35:41 – 0:35:42] Erik: An iBoard.
[0:35:44 – 0:35:47] Erik: Tim Cook, Jeffrey Bezos, are you listening?
[0:35:48 – 0:35:50] Erik: Invent a smart whiteboard.
[0:35:50 – 0:35:52] Adam: Trent Reznor, are you listening?
[0:35:52 – 0:35:53] Adam: I mean, really.
[0:35:54 – 0:35:55] Adam: I thought you were going to hook us up.
[0:35:57 – 0:35:58] Adam: We love you, Trent.
[0:35:58 – 0:36:01] Adam: Please, be our super patron.
[0:36:02 – 0:36:05] Adam: There’s one level available for $1 million.
[0:36:06 – 0:36:07] Adam: It’s the Trent Reznor level.
[0:36:07 – 0:36:13] Adam: Please, for $1 million, you too can help a small independent podcast.
[0:36:14 – 0:36:21] Adam: Talk about mostly nonsense, brain saunas, any movie you can think of, and occasionally paddling even.
[0:36:22 – 0:36:22] Adam: Occasionally paddling?
[0:36:22 – 0:36:24] Adam: In the month of October, even better.
[0:36:24 – 0:36:26] Adam: I love it.
[0:36:27 – 0:36:27] Erik: I love it.
[0:36:27 – 0:36:30] Erik: What’s the top comment on the thread?
[0:36:30 – 0:36:35] Erik: We want to hear the stories of your good, bad, and ugly October paddling.
[0:36:36 – 0:36:40] Erik: It can be the best of times, and it can be the blurst of times, blurst of times.
[0:36:41 – 0:36:43] Erik: B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-burst.
[0:36:44 – 0:36:45] Erik: Swimming.
[0:36:47 – 0:36:48] Erik: Breaking through skim ice.
[0:36:49 – 0:36:55] Erik: Shivering next to a… A fire that you just cannot make hot enough.
[0:36:57 – 0:36:58] Erik: Interminable rain.
[0:36:59 – 0:37:00] Erik: And wind.
[0:37:02 – 0:37:07] Erik: All of the horrible aspects, the edge is right there.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:11] Erik: You’re always flirting on that edge in October with paddling.
[0:37:12 – 0:37:21] Erik: This year, I would say, has probably been the best year for October paddling since, boy, it’s probably been almost a decade.
[0:37:21 – 0:37:22] Adam: Easily.
[0:37:22 – 0:37:23] Adam: Easily.
[0:37:23 – 0:37:26] Erik: I remember my first Quetico trip that I did.
[0:37:27 – 0:37:32] Erik: It was three weeks of blue skies, 70 degrees, no wind.
[0:37:33 – 0:37:34] Adam: I think I’ve mentioned this.
[0:37:34 – 0:37:35] Erik: Yeah, that was the one.
[0:37:35 – 0:37:36] Erik: Yeah, in the past.
[0:37:36 – 0:37:40] Erik: And that’s how I hoodwinked everybody in to the next two years of those trips.
[0:37:40 – 0:37:41] Erik: It was like, it’s amazing.
[0:37:41 – 0:37:41] Adam: Yeah.
[0:37:41 – 0:37:43] Erik: Nothing ever bad happens.
[0:37:43 – 0:37:44] Erik: The wind never blows.
[0:37:44 – 0:37:46] Erik: Quetico’s empty.
[0:37:47 – 0:37:47] Erik: It is.
[0:37:48 – 0:37:49] Erik: Well, also, that’s always true.
[0:37:49 – 0:37:50] Adam: That part was always true.
[0:37:50 – 0:37:51] Adam: Yeah.
[0:37:51 – 0:37:52] Adam: Still is, I believe.
[0:37:52 – 0:37:52] Adam: Yeah.
[0:37:53 – 0:37:59] Erik: But then, you know, the next two years that we did those trips, I made multiple people cry, including my wife.
[0:38:00 – 0:38:01] Erik: I broke up a relationship.
[0:38:02 – 0:38:04] Erik: But I was still happy with the whole experience.
[0:38:05 – 0:38:09] Erik: But it offers a wide range of experiences, more so than any other month.
[0:38:09 – 0:38:18] Erik: Sure, you can get like a freak like northeast wind blowing in with the heavy mists and deep low clouds in August.
[0:38:18 – 0:38:18] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[0:38:19 – 0:38:21] Erik: It’s just the nature of the Northwoods.
[0:38:21 – 0:38:30] Erik: But October, I mean, today is probably the first day of this month where it’s felt like October.
[0:38:30 – 0:38:33] Adam: Yeah, like windy this week too now.
[0:38:33 – 0:38:34] Erik: Yeah, yesterday was really windy.
[0:38:36 – 0:38:39] Erik: The leaves, I was like, the colors are really hanging around.
[0:38:39 – 0:38:44] Erik: Yesterday, it was just like, there’s all the leaves on the ground now.
[0:38:45 – 0:38:49] Erik: Driving up towards your place here, it was like, yeah, trees are bare.
[0:38:50 – 0:38:51] Erik: Trees are bare.
[0:38:52 – 0:38:55] Erik: Got a few responses on the generals of October.
[0:38:57 – 0:39:05] Erik: I think if you’re going to go on an October trip and you’ve never done it before, first half for sure.
[0:39:07 – 0:39:11] Erik: And the nice thing about the way that the permit system works in the Bajau waters in October is you can stay flexible.
[0:39:12 – 0:39:12] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:39:13 – 0:39:19] Erik: Keep an eye on that forecast and choose the right window.
[0:39:21 – 0:39:26] Erik: FZ6Camp did a five-day solo trip.
[0:39:27 – 0:39:27] Erik: Here it is.
[0:39:28 – 0:39:29] Erik: How many Franzia?
[0:39:29 – 0:39:34] Erik: Five now, six Franzias.
[0:39:35 – 0:39:36] Erik: I haven’t even read it.
[0:39:36 – 0:39:38] Erik: It’s just a blanket Franzia.
[0:39:38 – 0:39:41] Adam: Well, it’s the top Franzia of the week.
[0:39:41 – 0:39:41] Adam: Yeah.
[0:39:41 – 0:39:50] Erik: I have to trust the fellow Tumble Home casters that this is the one that deserves the most bags slash boxes of wine.
[0:39:51 – 0:39:53] Erik: Did a five-day solo trip last October.
[0:39:53 – 0:40:01] Erik: Temperatures and lack of crowds were fantastic, but those October slash autumn midday winds were brutal.
[0:40:03 – 0:40:11] Erik: A couple of the days I resorted to waking up before the sunrise in order to put in some miles before settling in early once those winds inevitably picked up.
[0:40:12 – 0:40:14] Erik: Overall, an enjoyable and memorable trip.
[0:40:16 – 0:40:16] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:40:16 – 0:40:20] Erik: I think it’s probably luck of the draw more than anything else.
[0:40:20 – 0:40:21] Erik: But yeah, October.
[0:40:21 – 0:40:22] Erik: I don’t know what it is.
[0:40:24 – 0:40:25] Erik: You gotta get Paul Hutner on here.
[0:40:25 – 0:40:26] Erik: Should I send him an email?
[0:40:26 – 0:40:29] Erik: Ask him about why the shoulder months are windier?
[0:40:30 – 0:40:31] Erik: Well, in fact, Eric…
[0:40:32 – 0:40:42] Erik: Well, in fact, Eric, but yeah, it seems like April, like April, May, early June, late September, October, early November.
[0:40:42 – 0:40:45] Erik: That’s when the gales, they’ll sink a ship.
[0:40:46 – 0:40:52] Adam: Yeah, I think October is the month where I’ve heard the most like wind in the night, too, or just don’t quit.
[0:40:53 – 0:40:53] Adam: Yeah, it just doesn’t quit.
[0:40:53 – 0:40:54] Erik: Can’t quit.
[0:40:54 – 0:40:55] Erik: Night winds?
[0:40:55 – 0:40:55] Erik: Yeah.
[0:40:55 – 0:40:56] Erik: That’s never a good sign.
[0:40:57 – 0:40:57] Erik: Nobody wants that.
[0:40:58 – 0:40:58] Erik: Night winds?
[0:40:58 – 0:41:03] Erik: Yeah, just troubling laying down in the hammock at the end of the day when you’re like, or you wake up.
[0:41:03 – 0:41:07] Adam: Worse is when you go to bed in the hammock and it’s calm and you wake up to the night wind.
[0:41:07 – 0:41:08] Adam: Even worse.
[0:41:08 – 0:41:09] Adam: Yeah.
[0:41:10 – 0:41:11] Adam: Don’t like it.
[0:41:11 – 0:41:12] Adam: It makes me nervous.
[0:41:13 – 0:41:14] Adam: Still, I’m clenched.
[0:41:15 – 0:41:16] Adam: Fully clenched.
[0:41:17 – 0:41:17] Erik: Fully clenched?
[0:41:18 – 0:41:22] Erik: I mean, there’s still something like… What is it about the… From the butt to the chaps, I’m clenched right now.
[0:41:23 – 0:41:23] Erik: Is it the…
[0:41:26 – 0:41:45] Erik: uh is it the fleeting nature the ephemerality is that a word it is about the fall colors that make them so um there’s something i mean why why are fall colors so pretty is it just because very desire desirable for sure
[0:41:45 – 0:41:53] Erik: Because it’s just something that you don’t, I mean, green leaves, they’re around for five months, and then you get crazy reds and yellows, and it’s just you don’t see them.
[0:41:53 – 0:41:55] Adam: This is a whole other question of the week.
[0:41:56 – 0:42:02] Erik: I mean, it’s a part of fall, and it’s part of like the, that’s the one, like, you know, the question that I would get, hey, when’s peak?
[0:42:02 – 0:42:03] Erik: Like, when should I plan?
[0:42:03 – 0:42:04] Erik: I want to go for peak fall colors.
[0:42:05 – 0:42:11] Erik: And I know it’s definitely a huge question that people ask, but I, you know, really, why?
[0:42:11 – 0:42:13] Adam: Because everybody loves autumn.
[0:42:13 – 0:42:13] Adam: Is it?
[0:42:13 – 0:42:14] Adam: Yeah, but why?
[0:42:14 – 0:42:15] Adam: Autumn is so good.
[0:42:16 – 0:42:43] Adam: it’s the best of all the all the seasons all put together and i just love winter so it just means hey winter’s coming which is great sure for me but i don’t think that’s it i i just think it’s that autumn is the best of the season well that’s really not i mean i get what you’re saying and i feel i feel the same way but that’s not really a great way to describe like not why is it your question it’s because it’s the best yeah it’s the best it’s like it’s this weird like
[0:42:45 – 0:42:47] Adam: Indescribable feeling.
[0:42:47 – 0:42:48] Adam: Are you into Pokemon, Eric?
[0:42:49 – 0:42:49] Erik: Man?
[0:42:50 – 0:42:51] Adam: Pokemon.
[0:42:51 – 0:42:53] Adam: Are you into the Pokemon?
[0:42:53 – 0:42:54] Erik: I’m into Pokemen.
[0:42:57 – 0:43:02] Adam: You understand in Pokemons, they like, what’s the right term for it?
[0:43:02 – 0:43:03] Adam: Evolve?
[0:43:03 – 0:43:04] Adam: Yeah.
[0:43:04 – 0:43:09] Adam: We’re going to really upset a lot of avid Pokemon catch-ems.
[0:43:10 – 0:43:10] Adam: Pokemens?
[0:43:10 – 0:43:11] Adam: Catch-em.
[0:43:11 – 0:43:14] Adam: You know, the main Pokemon is Ash.
[0:43:14 – 0:43:17] Adam: Also, the main character in Evil Dead 2, Ash.
[0:43:18 – 0:43:18] Erik: Yes.
[0:43:19 – 0:43:20] Adam: Are they related?
[0:43:22 – 0:43:23] Erik: I don’t know about related.
[0:43:23 – 0:43:24] Adam: Gotta catch all those demons.
[0:43:25 – 0:43:25] Erik: Yes.
[0:43:25 – 0:43:27] Adam: Anyways, I think you’ve said it’s evolved.
[0:43:27 – 0:43:35] Adam: I don’t know if that’s the right term for Pokemons or whatever, but there’s like the main Pokemon, and then it’s like level two Pokemon.
[0:43:36 – 0:43:39] Adam: I think Autumn is the top level of the tree Pokemon.
[0:43:40 – 0:43:40] Adam: Does that make sense?
[0:43:41 – 0:43:42] Adam: Just in terms of the trees.
[0:43:43 – 0:43:44] Adam: I don’t know anything about Pokemon.
[0:43:44 – 0:43:46] Adam: Why am I choosing to describe it this way?
[0:43:46 – 0:43:48] Adam: You are definitely out of your league here.
[0:43:48 – 0:43:54] Adam: I shouldn’t be talking about Pokemon, but I think this is, I don’t know why that’s the first one that came to mind, but it’s like this leveling up idea.
[0:43:55 – 0:43:57] Adam: This is the top level of tree.
[0:43:58 – 0:44:00] Adam: It’s not winter leafless tree.
[0:44:00 – 0:44:01] Adam: It’s not spring buds.
[0:44:01 – 0:44:04] Adam: It’s not lush green verdant summer tree.
[0:44:05 – 0:44:07] Adam: It’s autumn tree is the top level of tree.
[0:44:07 – 0:44:08] Adam: That’s why.
[0:44:08 – 0:44:12] Erik: That should have really been the question is like just fall question mark?
[0:44:12 – 0:44:12] Erik: Why?
[0:44:12 – 0:44:13] Erik: Why?
[0:44:13 – 0:44:14] UNKNOWN: Why?
[0:44:14 – 0:44:14] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[0:44:14 – 0:44:16] Adam: There you go.
[0:44:17 – 0:44:23] Erik: Because it’s one of those things where it’s like, yeah, like I guarantee, especially in the Midwest or any place that has seasons.
[0:44:23 – 0:44:24] Erik: Yeah.
[0:44:24 – 0:44:27] Erik: And you ask somebody like, what’s your favorite time of year?
[0:44:27 – 0:44:28] Erik: Yeah.
[0:44:28 – 0:44:29] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:44:29 – 0:44:33] Erik: I would feel like it probably would have to be well over half would say autumn.
[0:44:33 – 0:44:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:44:34 – 0:44:41] Adam: Yeah, and we talked about you’re in the autumn of your ice fishing or whatever, the spring of your ice fishing.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:44] Adam: And when you’re in the autumn of it, that’s when you’re at your best.
[0:44:44 – 0:44:55] Adam: And then you get to the winter, which is like a doldrum in which you are quiet for a long time until you re-interest yourself into it, which would be your new spring.
[0:44:55 – 0:44:55] Erik: Yeah.
[0:44:55 – 0:44:58] Adam: Yeah, the fall or the autumn of your anything.
[0:44:59 – 0:45:02] Adam: We’ve talked about this idea of the cycles of life or whatever.
[0:45:02 – 0:45:02] Adam: Yeah.
[0:45:02 – 0:45:05] Adam: The autumn is always the best part of that cycle.
[0:45:05 – 0:45:05] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:06 – 0:45:08] Adam: So that makes sense too in that way.
[0:45:08 – 0:45:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:09 – 0:45:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:09 – 0:45:20] Erik: No, but it’s so, I mean, and not to dwell on it too much, but it is one of those things where if you really think about it, you know, it’s not the most popular time of year in terms of numbers.
[0:45:21 – 0:45:21] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:21 – 0:45:24] Erik: And it might be a kid, you know, school scheduling thing.
[0:45:25 – 0:45:25] Erik: Yes.
[0:45:25 – 0:45:26] Erik: And temperatures.
[0:45:26 – 0:45:31] Erik: But I think just in general, there’s something that’s…
[0:45:33 – 0:45:35] Erik: Like summer is summer.
[0:45:35 – 0:45:43] Erik: Like you’ve got – all right, at least in Minnesota, you’ve got your three, four months of just like kind of a blur of –
[0:45:45 – 0:45:48] Erik: good times, good weather, it’s summer.
[0:45:49 – 0:45:54] Erik: And like, yeah, like a lot of times that is people’s favorite time of year, but it’s so, it’s like, it’s long.
[0:45:55 – 0:46:06] Erik: And so it kind of gets drawn out, but then it’s like, I think it’s the concentration of like how quick it is and just the memories that are like formed during autumn.
[0:46:07 – 0:46:09] Erik: They just seem like they’re way more like
[0:46:09 – 0:46:11] Erik: visceral and memorable.
[0:46:11 – 0:46:18] Erik: I don’t know what it is about fall that’s like, it’s more of a, it’s like a, it’s like a feeling more than anything else.
[0:46:18 – 0:46:21] Erik: And it’s not just the colors of the leaves.
[0:46:21 – 0:46:22] Adam: Better shadows too.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:23] Erik: Yeah, sure.
[0:46:24 – 0:46:25] Erik: Like even today it was like,
[0:46:25 – 0:46:35] Erik: I was just parked down at Artist Point and there was just these rolling dark clouds where at one point the sun had broken through and had these…
[0:46:35 – 0:46:39] Erik: The god rays came down and was hitting the Lutzen Mountains.
[0:46:40 – 0:46:43] Erik: And I was just like, you don’t see this in the summer.
[0:46:43 – 0:46:44] Erik: You don’t.
[0:46:44 – 0:46:45] Adam: The angles are all off.
[0:46:45 – 0:46:47] Adam: Angles and like… That side sun.
[0:46:47 – 0:46:48] Erik: Like no humidity.
[0:46:48 – 0:46:50] Erik: So you get like… Everything’s sharper now.
[0:46:51 – 0:46:53] Adam: Yeah, but you still can get nice clouds.
[0:46:53 – 0:46:53] Erik: Yeah.
[0:46:53 – 0:46:54] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:46:54 – 0:46:58] Adam: You can still have humidity, but you just usually don’t, which is why it’s so nice.
[0:46:58 – 0:47:02] Erik: Yeah, it’s been a relatively warm, humid October so far, actually.
[0:47:03 – 0:47:08] Adam: Some of the craziest thunderstorms of the whole year have been in the fall this year.
[0:47:08 – 0:47:09] Erik: Oh, man.
[0:47:09 – 0:47:10] Erik: We’ve had some crazy thunderstorms.
[0:47:10 – 0:47:11] Erik: We got hailed on last week.
[0:47:11 – 0:47:14] Adam: We got hailed on and saw the northern lights this week.
[0:47:14 – 0:47:31] Erik: We were coming down off the trail last week and Tori actually filmed this and she like with her camera to the right was filming clear skies with a half moon and then went in front of the vehicle and it was just a wall of black and like constantly thundering and lightning.
[0:47:31 – 0:47:32] Erik: It was a strobe light.
[0:47:32 – 0:47:34] Erik: It was the craziest storm.
[0:47:35 – 0:47:40] Erik: Like that’s not something that we typically experience ever really and especially not in October.
[0:47:40 – 0:47:40] Erik: Yeah.
[0:47:41 – 0:47:45] Erik: So yeah, I don’t know if we’ve answered any questions here, but I think it’s just…
[0:47:46 – 0:47:51] Erik: There’s so many senses to fall to, like the smell, the chill, the cold.
[0:47:51 – 0:47:58] Erik: It pulls everything that our bodies use to make memories and puts it all into action.
[0:47:59 – 0:48:00] Erik: It has something to do with it, I think.
[0:48:01 – 0:48:02] Erik: Like the smells.
[0:48:03 – 0:48:03] Erik: There’s no…
[0:48:04 – 0:48:28] Adam: there’s no candle in the world that can capture like they can try like yeah they’ll then darn it anyways they will try darn it anyways but you can’t you can’t possibly capture it there it goes ghost of ed abby on the show is our friend of the show good friend of the show ghost of ed abby a different thread uh
[0:48:30 – 0:48:45] Adam: Ghost of Addabby was talking about how, I think it was on a thread about Yellowstone that got started, and Ghost of Addabby was talking about how Edward Abbey was talking about how the overcrowding of the national parks was a huge issue.
[0:48:46 – 0:48:53] Adam: And one of my favorite comments of the whole month was just like, it’s odd, off-putting to hear somebody talk about themselves in the first person.
[0:48:53 – 0:48:55] Adam: What?
[0:48:55 – 0:48:55] Erik: What?
[0:48:55 – 0:48:59] Adam: Because the ghost of Ed Abbey was talking about Edward Abbey.
[0:49:00 – 0:49:00] Erik: I got you.
[0:49:00 – 0:49:00] Erik: Yeah.
[0:49:01 – 0:49:01] Erik: It was funny.
[0:49:02 – 0:49:02] Adam: It was pretty good.
[0:49:03 – 0:49:09] Erik: Well, just before you get to that, like the last of the American Campground series, if you’ve been enjoying that or not.
[0:49:09 – 0:49:11] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:49:11 – 0:49:12] Erik: The last one’s coming out next week.
[0:49:12 – 0:49:20] Erik: It is actually going to be typed out thoughts read into a microphone.
[0:49:20 – 0:49:22] Adam: I wish that, oh, really?
[0:49:22 – 0:49:27] Erik: If you’ve been really enjoying those long pauses, those won’t be there.
[0:49:27 – 0:49:30] Adam: I was going to just say, I mean, I’ve been enjoying it, but I feel like you’re rushing.
[0:49:30 – 0:49:31] Erik: Please.
[0:49:31 – 0:49:32] Erik: A little too quickly.
[0:49:33 – 0:49:34] Adam: Let the thoughts seep.
[0:49:34 – 0:49:34] Erik: Yeah.
[0:49:35 – 0:49:45] Erik: So last one next week with, yeah, I thought my experience in Yellowstone deserved a sit down with a keypad slash typewriter in front of me.
[0:49:45 – 0:49:46] Erik: The old writing.
[0:49:46 – 0:49:48] Erik: So I put down a little bit more conscious thought.
[0:49:49 – 0:49:52] Erik: And so it’s going to finish with just me reading what I wrote.
[0:49:53 – 0:50:01] Erik: I’m just going to drive around and read it into a field mic while driving so I don’t miss out on that sound quality.
[0:50:01 – 0:50:02] Erik: Oh, that’s a good idea.
[0:50:02 – 0:50:05] Erik: It also sounds very dangerous.
[0:50:05 – 0:50:06] Adam: I’m sure it’s fine.
[0:50:06 – 0:50:07] Adam: Do you want me to drive and you can read?
[0:50:07 – 0:50:07] Adam: No.
[0:50:08 – 0:50:11] Erik: You can go for a road trip after this episode.
[0:50:11 – 0:50:13] Erik: Just sit shotgun while I read.
[0:50:13 – 0:50:13] Erik: Take a ride.
[0:50:14 – 0:50:20] Adam: Next up on the show, ghost of Ed Abbey, five box of fronds.
[0:50:20 – 0:50:24] Adam: I have only had the bad, but because both trips had to be canceled.
[0:50:25 – 0:50:29] Adam: Last year, the schedule only worked for the last part of October, and the lakes froze up.
[0:50:29 – 0:50:38] Adam: Two years ago, it was planned with a newbie, and our scheduled weekend was freezing rain to snow, which was not a realistic first trip and potentially dangerous.
[0:50:39 – 0:50:39] Erik: Potentially dangerous.
[0:50:40 – 0:50:53] Adam: With the late summer uncertainty this year around the BWCA being open and the long lead time usually needed for scheduling around work and family, I decided to put October into a boys’ brule steelhead trip.
[0:50:53 – 0:50:55] Adam: And that resulted in my first steelhead.
[0:50:55 – 0:50:57] Adam: Hey!
[0:50:57 – 0:50:58] Erik: Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
[0:50:59 – 0:51:00] Adam: Hey, you got her first.
[0:51:00 – 0:51:03] Adam: I guess I have to pay out on that bet ghost of Ed Abbey.
[0:51:03 – 0:51:04] Adam: I’ve still yet to get one.
[0:51:05 – 0:51:06] Adam: Congratulations.
[0:51:07 – 0:51:08] Adam: The Boise Brule.
[0:51:08 – 0:51:10] Adam: The Boise Brule?
[0:51:10 – 0:51:11] Adam: Is that how you say this?
[0:51:12 – 0:51:13] Adam: Yeah, beautiful river.
[0:51:14 – 0:51:18] Adam: I think that’s going to be a future episode of Tumble Home for sure.
[0:51:18 – 0:51:21] Adam: One of those off-park parks, if you know what I’m saying.
[0:51:22 – 0:51:24] Adam: It’s more of a Wisconsin Wabakimi.
[0:51:25 – 0:51:26] Adam: Wisconsin Wabakimi?
[0:51:26 – 0:51:27] Adam: There’s one way to put it.
[0:51:30 – 0:51:39] Adam: Got a couple of interested questions about the Boise Brule, which I believe is some sort of French language.
[0:51:39 – 0:51:40] Adam: I’m not sure.
[0:51:40 – 0:51:44] Adam: Looks like it was a hiking trip with some fishing involved.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:47] Adam: Next up on the show, kind measurement.
[0:51:47 – 0:51:48] Adam: Oh, first time?
[0:51:48 – 0:51:49] Adam: 4690.
[0:51:49 – 0:51:52] Adam: I will do this one and then turn it back to you.
[0:51:52 – 0:51:53] Adam: Does that sound fair?
[0:51:53 – 0:51:54] Erik: First time, long time.
[0:51:54 – 0:51:56] Adam: First time, welcome to the show.
[0:51:56 – 0:51:57] Adam: Five box of Franzia.
[0:51:58 – 0:52:04] Adam: The Tumble Home community has been very generous, but I’m sure the comment has earned it.
[0:52:04 – 0:52:04] Adam: Let’s see.
[0:52:05 – 0:52:08] Adam: Haven’t got water in October yet, but have five…
[0:52:10 – 0:52:12] Adam: Have five the last week of September.
[0:52:12 – 0:52:14] Adam: Listening to you guys, it’s now on my list.
[0:52:15 – 0:52:18] Adam: I’ve always wanted to paddle open water while there is snow on shore.
[0:52:18 – 0:52:20] Adam: October might give me that.
[0:52:20 – 0:52:20] Adam: It might.
[0:52:20 – 0:52:21] Adam: Yeah.
[0:52:21 – 0:52:22] Adam: Thank you for the comment.
[0:52:23 – 0:52:25] Erik: Most likely it could and most likely will.
[0:52:26 – 0:52:27] Erik: But so far this year, I don’t know.
[0:52:28 – 0:52:30] Erik: The ground is probably still like 65 degrees.
[0:52:30 – 0:52:36] Erik: It’s going to probably take another few weeks of significantly colder weather for snow to stick.
[0:52:37 – 0:52:45] Adam: It’s crazy thinking about… No, that night the Vindleys were out, I was just literally sitting on the porch in a t-shirt at 11.30 p.m.
[0:52:45 – 0:52:46] Adam: There’s no wind.
[0:52:46 – 0:52:47] Adam: It’s been nuts.
[0:52:47 – 0:52:49] Adam: I mean, very little wind, I would say.
[0:52:49 – 0:52:51] Adam: I was just sitting out there, just chilling.
[0:52:52 – 0:52:53] Erik: I think the future is… Too nice.
[0:52:53 – 0:52:54] Erik: The future is now.
[0:52:54 – 0:52:54] Erik: Yeah.
[0:52:55 – 0:52:56] Erik: In terms of climate change.
[0:52:58 – 0:52:59] Erik: I don’t want to crack that egg.
[0:52:59 – 0:53:00] Erik: Let’s not get into it too much.
[0:53:01 – 0:53:03] Erik: Bird dogging it.
[0:53:04 – 0:53:18] Erik: October is one of the best months to paddle because being able to experience foliage that looks like a bowl of fruity pebbles paired with a lack of crowds is balanced by an added element of consequence.
[0:53:19 – 0:53:28] Erik: For some reason, I seem to really enjoy the twinge of anxiety and excitement that pops up when you know you cannot afford to make a mistake.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:38] Erik: There’s also something to be said about being able to wear a cozy wool shirt and knit cap while eating fresh grouse and duck cooked over a Smith Foundry grape.
[0:53:39 – 0:53:40] Erik: Smith Foundry.
[0:53:41 – 0:53:41] Adam: Cha-chunk.
[0:53:42 – 0:53:42] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:42 – 0:53:43] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:44 – 0:53:45] Erik: Kind of summed it up there for sure.
[0:53:45 – 0:53:47] Erik: There is an edge, like I said.
[0:53:51 – 0:53:55] Erik: I’m sitting on death right now, depending on the time of year.
[0:53:56 – 0:53:59] Erik: Not depending on the time of year, but depending on the October and the fall you get.
[0:54:00 – 0:54:05] Erik: I don’t think the waters right now, even on October 15th, are necessarily deadly.
[0:54:06 – 0:54:09] Erik: It really hasn’t been that cold, but most Octobers by now…
[0:54:09 – 0:54:16] Erik: Yeah, you’re not going to want to be flirting with getting too much of your body in that if you can’t immediately get back out and dry off.
[0:54:18 – 0:54:23] Erik: The good, comfortable days, cozy fires, your choice of campsites.
[0:54:24 – 0:54:25] Erik: I’m going to add on to that.
[0:54:25 – 0:54:26] Erik: Lack of bugs.
[0:54:28 – 0:54:28] Erik: No bugs.
[0:54:29 – 0:54:32] Adam: Yeah, that’s one of the better parts of it for sure.
[0:54:32 – 0:54:42] Erik: The bad, discovering a hole in your muck boots, inches of fresh wet snow that chills you to your core and forces you to hibernate in your sleeping bag during the long cold nights.
[0:54:43 – 0:54:54] Erik: The hack, ooh we have a hack, the lightweight seek outside teepee with collapsible wood stove has become a game changer for fall and winter trips into the park.
[0:54:57 – 0:55:05] Erik: Yeah, there’s a certain wetness that occurs in the fall that gets you way more than a dry cold.
[0:55:09 – 0:55:10] Erik: Deep winter, dry, cold.
[0:55:11 – 0:55:11] Erik: I can handle that.
[0:55:11 – 0:55:12] Erik: Layer up.
[0:55:13 – 0:55:16] Erik: But that like soaking wet snow.
[0:55:16 – 0:55:23] Erik: I remember my days of having to get dogs trained in at the kennel on the back of a four-wheeler.
[0:55:23 – 0:55:30] Erik: Where it was just like off and on, drizzle, heavy mists, 35.
[0:55:33 – 0:55:34] Erik: Soaks you right to the bone.
[0:55:36 – 0:55:38] Adam: Yeah, there’s no level of cold that can match that.
[0:55:39 – 0:55:39] Erik: No.
[0:55:40 – 0:55:42] Erik: Wet cold is bad cold.
[0:55:44 – 0:55:46] Erik: I think it got you queued up all right.
[0:55:46 – 0:55:47] Adam: It looks good, yeah.
[0:55:49 – 0:56:03] Adam: After the break, we got a couple of really good comments from Nash Kato and Red Spoon on Tumble Home, a Boundary Waters podcast, a proud independent paddling podcast.
[0:56:04 – 0:56:04] Adam: After this.
[0:56:04 – 0:56:05] Erik: I love the pause.
[0:56:07 – 0:56:08] Erik: When is this again?
[0:56:10 – 0:56:10] Adam: Dude.
[0:56:15 – 0:56:17] Adam: Next up on the show, Nash Cato.
[0:56:18 – 0:56:20] Adam: Three boxes of Franzia.
[0:56:21 – 0:56:25] Adam: October 2021 looks amazing so far with warm weather.
[0:56:25 – 0:56:28] Adam: Alas, no room on my calendar this year.
[0:56:28 – 0:56:31] Adam: My only October trip is the ugly one.
[0:56:32 – 0:56:35] Adam: I’m retelling a story from the Spooktacular post from two years ago.
[0:56:35 – 0:56:36] Adam: Here we go.
[0:56:36 – 0:56:40] Adam: Mid-October, 1990, MEA weekend, I think.
[0:56:40 – 0:56:41] Adam: Family trip.
[0:56:41 – 0:56:50] Adam: Dad, mom, 19-year-old brother in college, 15-year-old me, cold, cloudy, windy the whole time, and nobody had much fun.
[0:56:50 – 0:56:51] Adam: Zero fish.
[0:56:52 – 0:56:53] Adam: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
[0:56:53 – 0:56:56] Adam: Think we did lake one entry into insula.
[0:56:57 – 0:57:00] Adam: We were paddling out in two canoes and freezing our butts.
[0:57:00 – 0:57:03] Adam: Mom and brother approached a portage with a small falls.
[0:57:03 – 0:57:05] Adam: They had trouble with the landing and ended up under the falls.
[0:57:06 – 0:57:08] Adam: Their canoe instantly filled with water.
[0:57:09 – 0:57:11] Adam: Both went under for a moment that felt like an eternity.
[0:57:12 – 0:57:16] Adam: They got to shore and we saved everything, but it was a hypothermia situation.
[0:57:16 – 0:57:17] Erik: Yikes.
[0:57:18 – 0:57:23] Adam: They changed into dry clothes, and my dad made a small fire at the portage to warm up and calm nerves.
[0:57:23 – 0:57:29] Adam: This was my mom’s first and only BWCA trip, and the last time she ever camped.
[0:57:29 – 0:57:29] Adam: The end.
[0:57:30 – 0:57:31] Erik: That’s the end of that.
[0:57:32 – 0:57:33] Adam: Thank you for the comment.
[0:57:34 – 0:57:35] Adam: Terrifying.
[0:57:35 – 0:57:35] Adam: It was spooky.
[0:57:35 – 0:57:37] Adam: Well, it was not terrifying, but it was definitely chilling.
[0:57:41 – 0:57:41] Erik: We don’t want that.
[0:57:44 – 0:57:53] Erik: time she ever capped red spoon first time question mark welcome welcome
[0:57:56 – 0:58:00] Erik: Got the canoe used from Paragus last October.
[0:58:01 – 0:58:09] Erik: Went to pick it up over MEA and figured we might as well go into the park for a few days since I had work off and we were up in Ely anyways.
[0:58:09 – 0:58:10] Adam: You might as well.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:11] Erik: Might as well.
[0:58:12 – 0:58:15] Erik: I’ve been out in the park cold and I’ve been out in the park wet.
[0:58:16 – 0:58:21] Erik: But we were not really prepared to be out in the park when it’s cold and wet.
[0:58:21 – 0:58:22] Erik: Hey, there you go.
[0:58:22 – 0:58:22] Erik: Look at that.
[0:58:23 – 0:58:24] Erik: We were foreshadowing this comment.
[0:58:25 – 0:58:26] Erik: Learned a lot real quick.
[0:58:27 – 0:58:28] Erik: We just had the wrong gear.
[0:58:29 – 0:58:31] Erik: I let the water filter freeze.
[0:58:31 – 0:58:33] Erik: Sleeping bags were not quite rated for how cold it got.
[0:58:34 – 0:58:38] Erik: Probably could have picked a warmer trip for my friend’s first ever camping experience.
[0:58:39 – 0:58:41] Erik: We didn’t travel as far as originally planned.
[0:58:42 – 0:58:44] Erik: Ended up taking everything slowly and carefully.
[0:58:45 – 0:58:53] Erik: Special thanks to a pair of choppers for lending me a pair of muck boots and saving my feet from freezing off.
[0:58:53 – 0:58:55] Erik: That’s very nice of you, pair of choppers.
[0:58:55 – 0:58:56] Erik: Nicely done.
[0:58:57 – 0:59:05] Erik: We should come up with like a pinned thread on the subreddit for like gear needs.
[0:59:07 – 0:59:09] Erik: Half of the stuff I have just sits around.
[0:59:09 – 0:59:11] Erik: I get emails a lot about winter camping.
[0:59:11 – 0:59:11] Erik: Yeah.
[0:59:11 – 0:59:13] Erik: And I’m always like, hey, you let me know.
[0:59:13 – 0:59:15] Erik: I’ll borrow out my wall tent.
[0:59:15 – 0:59:15] Erik: Yeah.
[0:59:15 – 0:59:16] Erik: Stop by the co-op.
[0:59:16 – 0:59:19] Adam: I don’t use it like 50 weeks out of the year.
[0:59:19 – 0:59:23] Adam: You deposit a keg of Heineken and you can borrow the tent.
[0:59:23 – 0:59:25] Adam: And then when you get back, we’ll give you back your keg.
[0:59:25 – 0:59:26] Adam: That’s the way we should.
[0:59:26 – 0:59:27] Adam: That’s really the way.
[0:59:27 – 0:59:28] Erik: That’s the way we’ve always done it.
[0:59:28 – 0:59:29] Erik: It should be done.
[0:59:30 – 0:59:30] Erik: Gear.
[0:59:30 – 0:59:32] Erik: There should be a pinned like gear borrowing thread.
[0:59:32 – 0:59:33] Adam: It’s an outfitting cooperative.
[0:59:34 – 0:59:34] Erik: Hopalicious.
[0:59:34 – 0:59:35] Erik: Get on it.
[0:59:35 – 0:59:35] Adam: Let’s do it.
[0:59:36 – 0:59:37] Adam: We need a website.
[0:59:37 – 0:59:39] Adam: Does anybody out there know HTML5?
[0:59:39 – 0:59:43] Erik: It could basically be like, there’s so many of these now these days.
[0:59:43 – 0:59:47] Erik: There’s literally a website where you can go and rent other people’s pools.
[0:59:48 – 0:59:48] Erik: I don’t like that.
[0:59:48 – 0:59:52] Erik: Well, I’m not saying that we would be any money involved, but it’s like basically like a gear.
[0:59:52 – 0:59:54] Adam: I just don’t want to rent someone’s pool.
[0:59:54 – 0:59:55] Adam: I don’t mind money.
[0:59:55 – 0:59:56] Adam: Yeah, no, that would be weird.
[0:59:56 – 0:59:59] Erik: But like Airbnb, except there’s no money involved.
[0:59:59 – 0:59:59] Erik: Yeah.
[0:59:59 – 1:00:01] Erik: And it’s just like a gear like, hey, what do you need?
[1:00:02 – 1:00:05] Erik: Like, you want to go out and actually experience this?
[1:00:06 – 1:00:08] Erik: There you go.
[1:00:09 – 1:00:13] Erik: New idea number 50 that we probably will never follow through on.
[1:00:13 – 1:00:14] Erik: Oh, put it on the board.
[1:00:14 – 1:00:15] Erik: Put it on the board.
[1:00:15 – 1:00:17] Erik: Put it up on the board.
[1:00:17 – 1:00:17] Erik: Yeah, for sure.
[1:00:18 – 1:00:21] Erik: But that is crazy that, yeah, there was just, yeah.
[1:00:21 – 1:00:25] Erik: I don’t know what the story is behind the lending of boots, but great.
[1:00:26 – 1:00:27] Erik: To finish up on red.
[1:00:27 – 1:00:28] Adam: Some good teamsmanship there.
[1:00:29 – 1:00:31] Erik: It’s Red Spoon or Red’s Poon.
[1:00:32 – 1:00:43] Erik: However, it was also stunningly beautiful to paddle through a calm lake in light snow, skim ice, and watch a family of otters eat breakfast as we were headed to our next portage.
[1:00:45 – 1:00:47] Adam: What kind of frittata does an otter eat?
[1:00:49 – 1:00:50] Adam: Frittata.
[1:00:54 – 1:00:54] Adam: Good night.
[1:00:54 – 1:00:55] Adam: Nailed it.
[1:00:55 – 1:00:57] Adam: That’s the end of the show, folks.
[1:00:58 – 1:00:58] Adam: Thanks for being here.
[1:00:59 – 1:01:02] Erik: But by the end of the show, I mean, welcome to Tumble Home.
[1:01:02 – 1:01:05] Erik: Amazing to have the park essentially to ourselves.
[1:01:05 – 1:01:07] Erik: Pros outweighed the cons for sure.
[1:01:07 – 1:01:08] Erik: We’re headed back up in a week.
[1:01:08 – 1:01:10] Erik: Wow.
[1:01:10 – 1:01:11] Erik: Talk about an arc.
[1:01:12 – 1:01:15] Erik: That thing went from like cold and wet.
[1:01:16 – 1:01:17] Erik: Sleeping bags were too cold.
[1:01:17 – 1:01:18] Erik: Water filter froze up.
[1:01:19 – 1:01:21] Erik: Now they’re just like, yeah, we’re going back up.
[1:01:21 – 1:01:22] Adam: Can’t get enough.
[1:01:22 – 1:01:23] Erik: Can’t get enough.
[1:01:23 – 1:01:26] Adam: Snow so fluffy, you can’t get enoughy.
[1:01:27 – 1:01:28] Erik: Can’t stop.
[1:01:28 – 1:01:29] Erik: Won’t stop.
[1:01:32 – 1:01:33] Erik: Temporary.
[1:01:33 – 1:01:37] Adam: I actually saw that posted in a tree one time on a portage.
[1:01:38 – 1:01:41] Adam: That was written on a piece of paper in a Ziploc bag.
[1:01:42 – 1:01:42] Adam: Pinned?
[1:01:43 – 1:01:43] Adam: Pinned to the tree.
[1:01:44 – 1:01:45] Erik: Along with a slice of bread?
[1:01:45 – 1:01:47] Adam: No, no bread involved.
[1:01:47 – 1:01:49] Adam: Well, I mean, maybe there was at one time.
[1:01:50 – 1:02:15] Erik: the bread had rotted away or possibly been eaten another first time i believe first time long time temporary feedback 47 i just got back from a six-day solo to the south arm of knife i base camped on the big island and searched for the infamous tip ripper island maybe you were on it
[1:02:15 – 1:02:16] Erik: I think I found it.
[1:02:17 – 1:02:21] Erik: Walleyes aplenty in 20 feet of water.
[1:02:21 – 1:02:21] Adam: 20 inches.
[1:02:21 – 1:02:25] Erik: 20 inches of water, jigging at 20 inches of water.
[1:02:25 – 1:02:29] Adam: Walleyes standing on their tails, perfectly synchronized in dance.
[1:02:29 – 1:02:31] Erik: Synchronized walleye dancing.
[1:02:31 – 1:02:34] Erik: Beautiful weather for the most part, but a little windy.
[1:02:34 – 1:02:38] Erik: I seemed like I had the saw thermo knife to myself.
[1:02:39 – 1:02:40] Erik: Well, very nice.
[1:02:40 – 1:02:42] Erik: Temporary feedback.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:44] Adam: Tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip.
[1:02:44 – 1:02:46] Erik: Ripters.
[1:02:47 – 1:02:51] Erik: Well, only two more comments on the Oktoberfest.
[1:02:51 – 1:02:53] Erik: We could just call this episode Oktoberfest.
[1:02:53 – 1:02:53] Erik: Oktoberfest.
[1:02:53 – 1:02:54] Adam: There you go.
[1:02:55 – 1:02:55] Adam: Brain sauna.
[1:02:55 – 1:02:56] Adam: What’s going on with this thing?
[1:02:56 – 1:02:58] Erik: What’s going on with this thing?
[1:02:58 – 1:02:58] Adam: What the heck’s going on here?
[1:02:59 – 1:03:00] Adam: Next up on the show.
[1:03:02 – 1:03:22] Adam: cabin after friend of the show three box of fronds i went in mid-october with a college class of about 30 people which included first-timers and experienced campers that ain’t legal that let me tell you one thing that ain’t legal we rented canoes and based on a saw bill
[1:03:23 – 1:03:26] Adam: And the group spread out into camps around Burnt Lake.
[1:03:26 – 1:03:28] Adam: Okay, that is legal.
[1:03:29 – 1:03:30] Adam: Did you get to Weird, though?
[1:03:31 – 1:03:32] Adam: More on that later.
[1:03:33 – 1:03:39] Adam: Adapting to colder weather was new, and I was bewildered by wearing rubber boots instead of wet footing.
[1:03:40 – 1:03:41] Adam: My tent mate had it worse.
[1:03:43 – 1:03:53] Adam: He was one of the first timers who didn’t want to pay the extra money to rent a cold weather sleeping bag, and his translation of a sleeping pad was a yoga mat.
[1:03:54 – 1:03:54] Erik: Ugh.
[1:03:54 – 1:03:56] Adam: The group survived.
[1:03:57 – 1:03:59] Adam: The group did survive.
[1:04:00 – 1:04:08] Adam: Campfires were appreciated on a new level, and it was the introductions to the headspace of, will I be warm enough a half hour from now?
[1:04:09 – 1:04:14] Adam: My biggest takeaways were seeing a loon in winter plumage with its colors flip-flopped.
[1:04:15 – 1:04:22] Adam: The other was learning that my professor always left a cedar branch on the fire grate as a symbol of good kinship.
[1:04:23 – 1:04:24] Adam: To future travelers.
[1:04:24 – 1:04:25] Adam: That’s a different kind of wood gnoming.
[1:04:26 – 1:04:27] Adam: I like that.
[1:04:27 – 1:04:32] Erik: I feel like the flip-flopping of the winter plumage is just a adolescent loon.
[1:04:32 – 1:04:33] Adam: It could have been.
[1:04:33 – 1:04:36] Adam: Yeah, they usually are very hesitant to find.
[1:04:36 – 1:04:37] Adam: They’re the ones that are.
[1:04:37 – 1:04:38] Adam: They will not fly south.
[1:04:38 – 1:04:39] Erik: They always hang out the longest.
[1:04:39 – 1:04:41] Erik: You kind of feel bad for them.
[1:04:41 – 1:04:42] Adam: I’ve seen them.
[1:04:43 – 1:04:44] Adam: I’ve seen them.
[1:04:44 – 1:04:45] Erik: I’ve saw them.
[1:04:45 – 1:04:46] Adam: And they always are like.
[1:04:48 – 1:04:49] Erik: Have you seen my parents?
[1:04:49 – 1:04:50] Erik: Yeah, they’re always just looking around.
[1:04:50 – 1:04:51] Adam: Do you have any fish to spare?
[1:04:51 – 1:04:52] Erik: They don’t make noise.
[1:04:53 – 1:04:56] Erik: They’re always just kind of like, eh, looking left, looking right.
[1:04:56 – 1:04:57] Erik: Like, do I fly?
[1:04:57 – 1:04:58] Erik: Yeah, you fly.
[1:04:58 – 1:05:01] Erik: All of your family has left.
[1:05:01 – 1:05:02] Erik: If you don’t find them, you’ll die.
[1:05:03 – 1:05:08] Erik: And this is the part of evolution that cuts you off from procreating.
[1:05:08 – 1:05:09] Adam: Do you think they ever fly?
[1:05:10 – 1:05:11] Adam: Those ones you see late?
[1:05:11 – 1:05:12] Erik: Oh, I don’t know.
[1:05:12 – 1:05:14] Adam: Maybe those are the ones that are just like, hmm.
[1:05:14 – 1:05:16] Adam: I’m going to try and be a chickadee, actually.
[1:05:16 – 1:05:16] Adam: I’m going to stay.
[1:05:16 – 1:05:17] Erik: I’m going to try to winter over.
[1:05:17 – 1:05:18] Erik: I’m going to hunker down.
[1:05:19 – 1:05:20] Erik: I’m just going to hunker down.
[1:05:20 – 1:05:21] Adam: I don’t think they make it.
[1:05:21 – 1:05:22] Erik: No, maybe, yeah.
[1:05:23 – 1:05:32] Erik: We’ve seen some late in October up in Quetico where you’re like, dude, you’re fully grown, but you are the color of, yeah.
[1:05:32 – 1:05:37] Adam: I’ve yelled at seven to eight different juvenile loons like, go south, you idiot.
[1:05:38 – 1:05:39] Erik: You have to go now.
[1:05:39 – 1:05:40] Erik: Fly.
[1:05:40 – 1:05:41] Erik: Fly.
[1:05:42 – 1:05:43] Erik: Follow the grebes.
[1:05:46 – 1:05:48] Erik: Point your needle south and fly.
[1:05:48 – 1:05:50] Adam: Follow the grebes, yeah.
[1:05:50 – 1:05:52] Adam: You got to follow the grebes.
[1:05:52 – 1:05:54] Adam: All right, I’m going to finish her off.
[1:05:54 – 1:05:55] Adam: I’m feeling feisty right now.
[1:05:55 – 1:05:56] Adam: Last one.
[1:05:56 – 1:05:58] Adam: Last comment of the show.
[1:05:59 – 1:06:02] Adam: Squarejaw77, friend of the show.
[1:06:02 – 1:06:03] Adam: Hello.
[1:06:04 – 1:06:07] Adam: One lonely box of Franzia.
[1:06:08 – 1:06:11] Adam: This was submitted three minutes ago, though.
[1:06:11 – 1:06:12] Adam: Three minutes ago?
[1:06:12 – 1:06:13] Adam: I will give extra Franzia.
[1:06:13 – 1:06:14] Adam: There you go.
[1:06:14 – 1:06:14] Adam: Squarejaw77.
[1:06:15 – 1:06:16] Erik: You’ve been Franzia’d.
[1:06:21 – 1:06:22] Adam: You have been.
[1:06:23 – 1:06:31] Adam: I’m not sure if this fits perfectly here, but I do more motorboat access fishing in the BWCA in October rather than canoe camping.
[1:06:32 – 1:06:38] Adam: I have had instances where something happened to my motor and I had to paddle to shore.
[1:06:38 – 1:06:40] Adam: That’s paddling in October, right?
[1:06:40 – 1:06:41] Erik: Oh, rowing.
[1:06:41 – 1:06:43] Adam: Yeah, it’s maybe rowing.
[1:06:43 – 1:06:44] Erik: O-ring.
[1:06:45 – 1:06:45] Adam: Ooh.
[1:06:46 – 1:06:55] Adam: I was able to get it started eventually, but I have a tip for anyone that goes motoring into the BWCA on HP restricted lakes late in the season.
[1:06:56 – 1:06:59] Adam: Get a 25 horsepower motor that has a pull start.
[1:06:59 – 1:07:06] Adam: Mine has both a pull start and an electric, but the electric start can fail and you might be stranded.
[1:07:07 – 1:07:12] Adam: I have had my steering wheel freeze in place as well, which kind of makes motoring around tough.
[1:07:13 – 1:07:14] Adam: Yeah, I would imagine.
[1:07:14 – 1:07:20] Adam: Sorry, I couldn’t contribute more, but that is my October paddle experience.
[1:07:20 – 1:07:23] Adam: I think it’s more of an oaring experience, but thank you.
[1:07:23 – 1:07:28] Adam: And I’m glad you’ve been awarded the second box of Franzia Squarejaw 77 Convertible.
[1:07:29 – 1:07:33] Adam: Closing out, I would say, has been a pretty excellent episode, Eric.
[1:07:33 – 1:07:34] Adam: B-W-O-A?
[1:07:35 – 1:07:37] Adam: O-ring.
[1:07:38 – 1:07:38] Erik: R?
[1:07:38 – 1:07:39] Erik: Of a revolution?
[1:07:39 – 1:07:40] Erik: Remember them?
[1:07:40 – 1:07:40] Erik: Yeah.
[1:07:41 – 1:07:43] Adam: That was a crazy game of poker.
[1:07:44 – 1:07:46] Adam: Yeah, that’s how it went, I think.
[1:07:46 – 1:07:47] Adam: Pretty good.
[1:07:47 – 1:07:49] Erik: That was pretty good.
[1:07:50 – 1:07:54] Adam: That was a crazy game of puker.
[1:07:54 – 1:07:56] Adam: I think that’s how it went.
[1:07:56 – 1:07:59] Erik: Yeah, you kind of got there a little bit, surprisingly.
[1:07:59 – 1:08:01] Adam: At the beginning, not so much at the end.
[1:08:01 – 1:08:02] Adam: Not so much, you came around.
[1:08:02 – 1:08:04] Adam: Kind of messed it up at the end there.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:09] Erik: That’s the hook.
[1:08:12 – 1:08:13] Adam: Do you think aura is still out there?
[1:08:14 – 1:08:15] Erik: OAR?
[1:08:15 – 1:08:15] Erik: Yeah.
[1:08:15 – 1:08:26] Erik: Oh, I’m sure there’s a bunch of high school to college-aged girls that are still getting down and dirty to people of those sorts.
[1:08:27 – 1:08:28] Erik: I don’t even know what that means.
[1:08:30 – 1:08:31] Erik: They still have a million listeners.
[1:08:32 – 1:08:32] Adam: There it is.
[1:08:32 – 1:08:34] Adam: They still have a million listeners.
[1:08:35 – 1:08:36] Adam: 200 episodes.
[1:08:36 – 1:08:38] Adam: Do you think they’re going to…
[1:08:38 – 1:08:45] Adam: The first time we played O-A-R. Bondrew Waters Ore area.
[1:08:47 – 1:08:49] Adam: This is like an acoustic version, I think.
[1:08:49 – 1:08:50] Erik: No, this is the version.
[1:08:50 – 1:08:51] Adam: This is it.
[1:08:51 – 1:08:52] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[1:08:52 – 1:08:54] Adam: It’s acoustic by nature.
[1:08:54 – 1:08:58] Adam: That’s O-A-R. Of our revolution.
[1:09:02 – 1:09:03] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:04 – 1:09:05] Adam: How’s your beer doing?
[1:09:05 – 1:09:05] Adam: Did you finish your beer?
[1:09:08 – 1:09:10] Adam: My beer is, this is the last sip for my beer.
[1:09:10 – 1:09:15] Erik: USS Sun Glitter, we did in fact get to your Chanhapenins.
[1:09:15 – 1:09:15] Adam: All right.
[1:09:16 – 1:09:19] Adam: Well, you can’t really cheers it now, but we’re cheersing it.
[1:09:31 – 1:09:32] Adam: All right, well, that’s enough of those.
[1:09:32 – 1:09:35] Adam: We’re going to get copyrighted, but you guys get the gist.
[1:09:36 – 1:09:41] Adam: That was a crazy game of poker.
[1:09:41 – 1:09:45] Adam: It was the last game I ever played.
[1:09:45 – 1:09:47] Adam: I think we pretty much got it.
[1:09:47 – 1:09:48] Erik: Stay tuned.
[1:09:48 – 1:09:53] Erik: Next week, we’re going to have a game of poker where I will divulge my cards and Adam will
