Speaker 2 0:34

Yeah, we haven't even really chopped it up together in a long time. We kind of got together with the Al Moreno show, but Emilio, emilio, but that was Al's show. I mean, it had to be about him, not about us so much.

Yeah, I see it, I mean every time, I mean Kyle's been coming.

Speaker 1 1:11

Dude dude, hey, kyle is a busy dude right now, just like me, and you know Kyle is one heck of a coach. Yeah, and what he does for those boys at the local school is he's a good coach. Dude, god, you know I'm not gonna dog him. I will never dog him. I will never dog him. But God lay that. That program is elite, that a program that he coaches is top notch. I would say maybe one, two. There's some good ones, some great ones. On the West I would say they're one, two man, one of the one two punches in the state of Washington, wow.

Speaker 2 1:59

Yeah, dude, yeah, kyle's good. That's crazy. Yeah, that you know. Just to think that he coaches. You know a cross country team here in the Tri-Cities at sea level that you know. I've seen him actually have run into him with his team making him run. You know five and a half minute mile pace of Owens Road up top of Jump Off Joe Running to Kyle up there and he's like, yeah, those guys, some of them guys, are just rolling it out at five and a half minute mile pace up this Scrabble Road. Yeah, but yeah, no, I'm always excited to see Kyle. I think it's likewise.

Speaker 1 2:37

No, dude, but then you see him right, he's coaching, he has his kids. I think that's the greatest thing ever, man, his kids hanging out with him during, you know, the meets. And to see him run. I'm like, dude, are you hurt? He's like kind of they come to find out. I hear from other people that dude, he has like a, he has like a bone spur and his Achilles that he can't even do anything with. If he did anything, he would have to go to, like overseas somewhere. Yeah, and to see him run it makes me hurt, dude, and he's still old.

Speaker 2 3:12

Right, but with that said, even with that, he's still very competitive, godless. He still will roll out there. You know podium almost.

Speaker 1 3:21

Did you sign up for his new challenge?

Speaker 2 3:24

Speaker 1 6:17

Yeah.

Speaker 2 6:18

And yeah, and I can't believe that we've connected so strongly in just a short amount of time. I mean, I don't know. It's just it's incredible to watch you just how the podcast has grown and how passionate you are about it, and just to be a part of that with you and I support you, you support me and I love it, man. Yeah, yeah, it's awesome.

Speaker 1 6:54

I'm happy. I'm happy you're here. I really am. I'm happy to still be accomplishing something that I never thought I had to accomplish. Man, I thought this was dead on arrival. I really did, and I thought like a hundred was too much. I thought a hundred fifty was like God, what am I doing still? And then it started picking up. And then it was just picking up more. And then I'm at 200 and I'm like, and I'm gonna be honest with you, should I stop? And then it's getting in the way second year of cross country and I'm gonna go three years. I'm going three years on the podcast, next fall, next summer, actually.

Reflecting on Podcast Success and Burnout

Speaker 1 7:53

And I'm just like, why am I doing this? And I feel now, I feel like it is getting the way. I do feel that way, but I don't know. But I changed 200 was the changing point of the podcast to what I feel I'm more interested in Running. Guess, dude, larry Yellow, his episode that I put out yesterday is freaking, killing it right now. But then, on top of that, dude, I don't even like broadcast the, the Western sports guys, and they kill it too. So it's like, dude, what, what should I do? What should I do? So, like, right now, since I've been at 200 and I took a week off because, dude, I'm like burn, work, work, work, work, podcast, running, coaching, coaching, running, coaching, I'm burnt. And I'm just like, alright, so I have you, and If I was so burnt I wouldn't have you on. But, man, I just got that feeling like I gotta keep going. But then I'm like, god, I'm burnt. Does that make sense?

I'm just think you were struggling, but you were doubting yourself the whole time, didn't? Doubt it once we hit that stop. You were doubting yourself.

Speaker 2 23:16

Well, where I was having issues is once you hit the, the summit, the ridge up there, and I, looking at that, I'm like Should I stop now or cuz I'm?

Speaker 1 23:52

Should I stay or should I go now much.

Speaker 2 23:55

Colorado Adventure Highlights

Speaker 1 30:15

Skippity toilet. Yeah, this is where it's in there. So you conquered beer stat.

Speaker 2 30:21

Yep, that was in Colorado. I was down there for nine days with my equal better, my daughter. Yeah, I love her to death.

Speaker 1 30:30

That was pretty cool to experience that with you, man. You did a good job.

Speaker 2 30:35

Yeah.

Speaker 1 30:35

Highlighting all that.

Speaker 2 30:37

Yeah, and there was a gentleman that was a campground host that I actually passed coming down, that we've connected on. Um, yeah, there was a campground host that I connected with or didn't I connected with on Instagram because of that, because he had was just like two miles down the road from this trailhead of that and I actually passed him when I was going down. He was going up and he had attempted a couple of times, but yeah, Wait Tonight.

Speaker 1 31:29

I thought it was tonight, okay.

Speaker 2 31:38

So yeah, I was just trying to say is, yeah, running that 14er in Colorado. I was running back down and there was a gentleman I passed it Me and him are the only ones that had beards. I had a beard, he had one. I was halfway down Back to Denver to to my daughter.

Speaker 2 31:58

Well, he saw a campground yeah, softball for my daughter, but he was a campground host up there. And blue school he was a schooly. He had a schooly bus that's blue, converted to like a motor home and we connected because of that. But that that was the first part of the trip. Like I said, I was down there for nine days and then we were. The tournament was done a day early and we were still going to be down there a couple of days and so I started looking for another one. It would be relatively easy and not easy, but just something I could do. I could leave it three o'clock in the morning, go hit it, come back down and then still have the day with my daughter and I went and you could drive to the mountain, to top of Mount Evans in Colorado. It's one of the highest.

Speaker 1 32:44

And you did that.

Speaker 2 32:45

I didn't drive to the top.

Speaker 1 32:46

No, no I did Evans.

Speaker 2 32:47

Yes, I found a route from. I can't remember the name of the lake, but you basically started like 11,000 feet and I ended up hitting. I ended up hitting. There was Mount Spalding, the route that I took. Mount Spalding was a 13er and then all the way up and around it. That was like one of the most awesome like trips down there End up tagging the top of Evans on foot and then just made a loop about it and it was really awesome. That was an awesome trip to Evans trip Cause it felt like I was actually climbing a mountain.

Speaker 2 33:22

But you go from pretty much being acclimated here. Yeah, I was in Denver, that was like day eight. You know I was in Denver, but still that's not true acclimated. But you get up there and it's just like, once I got about 13,000 feet, it was on Evans, it was like shoot man, I was working, it was working me over, but, yeah, I hit Evans down in Colorado, two 14ers, okay, and that was pretty much my summer and just you know. And then you know we hit the steams together and it was awesome, Dude.

Speaker 1 33:57

that was quite the adventure.

Speaker 2 33:59

I am so happy that you came down there and I've been like we've talked about on the AI episode, right that was-.

Speaker 1 34:10

Emilio. I ate to this day. I call him Emilio.

Speaker 2 34:13

And he loves it.

Speaker 1 34:14

Yeah, it's crazy. It's like dude.

Speaker 2 34:17

Okay, I've been trying to get you know friends that go do that. So you know, for five years and you know you were first one on board. You're like I'll go, I'm gonna do it with you, let's go do it.

Speaker 1 34:30

I'm gonna do it again this year.

Speaker 2 34:31

Yeah, you signed up for it. And then the dolls, stephanie and Charlie, signed up for it and it was cool. They're good people, man. Yeah, oh, yeah, they're awesome. Quiet, yeah Well, charlie, she'd get a little bit of Jim Beam or whatever he was doing, God damn.

Speaker 1 34:47

That dude was drinking a bottle. Never seen a dude drink Jim Beam. I drank Jim Beam when I was a freaking high school, or that dude was drinking Jim Beam as a grown adult, 50 years old or whatever. Yeah, jeez.

Speaker 2 35:04

Charlie, down to earth, they're both good people. Yeah, but I was. Yeah, those are some of my highlights for the summer was, you know the hood, the 14ers down in Colorado, the Steens? Now, there's probably some other stuff I did, but I know that you have, you know you-.

Speaker 1 35:23

I'm going back, yeah, and I'm gonna do, I'm gonna walk the whole thing.

Speaker 2 35:29

I think you know. If you wanna sign up for the walk, it's just. I feel, that you, you know, the first time. I have only done the walk one year and I ended up getting second in my age group.

Speaker 1 35:40

There's that one lady man, she was conquering it. I'm gonna take her out. I'm gonna take her out, dude, I'm gonna take her out. I don't care, I'm gonna push her in the bar, ditch let's go. What's that?

Speaker 2 35:53

You're gonna push her over in the bar ditch.

Speaker 1 35:55

Dude, that was a mother, yeah, that was a mother. Effort, dude. And to know that it's just there's, you can't get comfortable on that, you can't. The moment you get comfortable it's like, oh, dude, it's more up. And then you go up, and you go up.

Speaker 1 36:15

And then I heard a guy that I just had on the podcast, J Dubb Marriott. He sent me a message. Just like, dude, bro, I appreciate you having me on the podcast, because a huge contractor, Montana contractor, right, Huge Montana contractor, listen to the episode that he was on and offered him a job. So he's been busy, right, J Dubb Marriott shout out to J Dubb Marriott. You know, and I mean, this is 200, we're celebrating Dan the man right, and he says, dude, he offered me to be there. I'm gonna be there throughout the summer.

Speaker 1 37:01

And I'm like, bro, I'm so thankful, Bro, you pumped me up after I just did this gnarly mountain race, right. And I'm like, bro, what the hell, dude, you pumped me up and all of a sudden I go to the ridge of Steen Mountain. You know, I go to the. I finish with you, right, I finish with you. I go up and I'm like holy shit, oh my God, he's like what? Oh my God, I gotta show you this man.

Speaker 1 37:33

It is crazy. You know what it reminds me of. It reminds me of Rattlesnake Mountain, dude, the fact that it's a gradual uphill when you look at it from you know, on the way to Yakima right. And then when you go into, when you look at it, what is East to Vantage right, that's a cliff. Rattlesnake is a cliff, dude, and but this is rocky. The Steens Mountain, where we, where we summited, is rocky and I'm like, holy crap, if you fall you're dead. Dude, he's like what's going on? I'm like, bro, if only you can see what I am seeing right now. I almost fell off the damn mountain. Dude, Just celebrating his victory on, you know, earning his time, earning his time with the contractor, a huge Montana contractor, with bulls fighting bulls. Dude, I never, bro, I'll tell you this man. I never thought this podcast will do what it did.

Speaker 2 38:46

Yeah.

Speaker 1 38:47

I never thought that man being 100 to 200, having the Western sports crew, the world Western sports world, listen to this podcast and take a guy from Northern Northeast Washington I never thought it would get that big and when he told me what he received he earned was like holy crap, dude, people actually listen, right, people actually listen and are giving these guys that I put on a chance. It was huge, man. It was huge for the podcast, it was huge for me. It was unbelievable to hear that dude, what I'm doing is working.

Speaker 2 39:45

Right and it's you know connecting and networking and and yeah, it was huge, man, Like I said.

Speaker 1 39:52

You know, I said it's huge.

Speaker 2 39:54

The connections you've made through this, like we'll be somewhere, we'll be at a rodeo somewhere. Like you know, after the Steens, you know, I was going to hit Strawberry Mountain but, you know, dolls, and you were like, hey, man, I, you know, want to do your own thing. That was fine. And so nobody was going to go to the Strawberry Mountain with me to do that. The next day after the Steens and I caught the dolls and and Burns you had left because you were heading going to do your own thing and they said, hey, yeah, he's going to go do a. You know, go check out the rodeo at John Day. And so we're like we're going to go to the rodeo at John Day, and you didn't know I was surprised surprised the crap out of you.

Speaker 1 40:35

but Then you took a picture of my truck.

Speaker 2 40:38

I was like bro you here.

Speaker 1 40:40

Hey man, I'm in the grandstands.

Speaker 2 40:43

And you know to go down there and and you know, just to, that was probably one of the funnest little rodeos that that I'd been to and just you know to connect me with that and you know it's just networking and things that you do. I mean, like I said, you know, like I said, one of the episodes we did. You know, you just you know the running world and then you got the rodeo world and you know, as I'd right now, that you're, you're feeling wherever you're going with it, but you're connecting these.

Speaker 1 41:14

It's up in the air though man.

Speaker 1 41:15

Because some days the running world don't even hit right, right, and then the Western world don't even hit. But the Western world is steady. Is steady Running world? Not so much Running world, let's say, if I get it or local, that's when it becomes Western. If you know what I mean, you know when it comes to big, like I can put anybody on the Western and it hits. Running if it's local, it hits. If it's Eric, it hits. But internationally, if I put Ben Light on, not so much If I put Mike McKnight on, I put him on twice, it hits to an extent.

Speaker 1 42:07

You know what I mean. It's who, it's who promotes it the most, it promotes it the most. And James Larello, my friend, just like you, I don't say too many people are my friends they promote it, it hits. It is so weird, man, it's so weird and I hate it. I hate it. I hate it to the extent that, bro, I'm to the point that I'm gonna put anybody on. That is freaking top notch athlete who does what they do the best. They don't even have to be the top notch athlete at that moment. But, dude, I'll tell you this man the high with J Dub Marriott, right, getting the huge contract from Montana.

Speaker 1 43:03

Dude, I'm telling you the highlight of my year besides you guys, you and Ben bro, cade Madsen getting I don't know if I I kind of talked about him, cade Madsen, this year. He was on, he was doing CCT. Young kid, 17 years old, turns 18, and he gets drafted out of the PBR teams. Dude, missouri Thunder and Guy Lee, I'm all like what the hell? I'm like, yeah, man, I'm like I couldn't believe it. I'm like, dude, let me have you on. I'm like, man, let's just celebrate and then, dude, I'll let you know. Man, I was number one fan. I was like hell yeah man.

Speaker 1 44:05

Then I found out real life dude, and it was a kick in the rear. It was a kick in the rear because I'd noticed other people were joining in on what I was doing and they took what I loved from me. They took the excitement from me. I shouldn't have let them do that.

Speaker 2 44:32

Right.

Speaker 1 44:35

But the fact that they are high branded money talks. I felt like I was undercutted, dude, and I don't wanna talk about it that much. Right, but it's true money talks, and I had them going on to number episode two and it's like nope, dude, it's a having a podcast. Be so successful. Talking to you, right, dan the man, having a successful podcast is not that easy, man. It's not that easy. It is difficult. And to be undercutted by the Western sports world and be dogged the way I was Dude I did my best to turn it around, to make it my own and I feel I did that. But dude to know that I was celebrating a kid that's never been on a podcast before, never been on a podcast before. Right To be so successful, to be the dog that he is, man, the guy bro, 18 years old and killing it, killing it, slaying it.

Speaker 2 46:17

It hurt, it hurt man.

Speaker 1 46:19

It hurt. It hurt a lot and I learned a lot. I learned a lot. I didn't put all eggs in a basket, but to know that there's Western sports willing to just undercut the hell out of you, it says a lot to what I'm trying to do and what I'm doing. I'm a threat. I'll say I'm a threat.

Speaker 2 46:50

Right, yeah, that's what you're saying. I feel that I gotta take your lead on a lot of things with this and just with the simple things that you had there in your right hand, just things that you've given caution about there. I'm not gonna say what it is that I haven't dealt with the stuff that you have or witnessed it. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, what the oh, the stickers.

Speaker 1 47:28

You know the stickers, as these point your thing. You've grown you've learned.

Speaker 2 47:33

you've learned the undercutting, you've learned that, where this it was a learning curve. It's a huge learning curve.

Speaker 1 47:43

This year was a learning curve, even at I mean dude, I'm going 200 plus right now.

Conquering Mountains and Podcast Recommendations

Speaker 2 47:49

Yeah, and so I mean I get that and you know every. You've grown. I feel you've grown with your podcasts and what this is and where you wanna take it. That you know I have my opinion, which isn't much. I've never listened to a podcast until you know you brought me on and you know I've only listened to yours Some Joe Rogan.

Speaker 1 48:13

You're welcome, some dude.

Speaker 2 48:17

That guy, I don't know how he does. He's like I went to a day or every day.

Speaker 1 48:22

He'll go like I've been listening to his four hour ones, post Malone. I've been listening to a lot of them lately because at work I've been having some time and when I have some time I'll eat my lunch and then some with some Joe Rogan, and damn, he's one of the best interviewers out there and I'm just like bro, if I can make it, if I can do half the shit he does. Yeah, he's been doing it for what? 14, 15 years plus. I think it was last year was 13, so 14 years. I mean, he's the God of podcasters, right, and I listened to him. And the Post Malone God, have you listened to that? Post Malone, four hours, four freaking hours, four. I don't know, man, I don't know if I can ever do that. And man, post dude, I was never a fan until he went on there the first time. And, dude, you ever listen to Post?

Speaker 2 49:35

I've listened to him. Yeah, not listened to the podcast, but the music.

Speaker 1 49:39

Well, listen to the podcast with Rogan. Dude Bro is pretty smart man for his age and man, listen to him. I listened to that guy. That was Amazon. I've been listening to some Rogan lately I took a break because of summer, you know, but dude Rogan is all I listen to. Man. Rogan's the best man, but go ahead.

Speaker 2 50:08

Well, I was just gonna say that just I've talked about, you know, mountain, suffite, concord, and we wanted to get back. I wanted to get back to Nick Coleman.

Speaker 1 50:17

Nick Coleman. So what did he do? My question to you, man Next year, next year, next year season and season, you know we gotta hit that season mountaineer time right. What's your next mountain? Are you willing? Are you willing to go out with me again and conquer mountain?

Speaker 1 50:48

That's the only question Okay, that means a lot, dude. That means a lot. So what do you think? I mentioned one mountain. I went, I mentioned one mountain. Would you be able to conquer that mountain next year with me? And then, on the way back, hit the highest point in Idaho and then go home and then call it quits. Call it quits, man. Would you be able to do that? Give me three, four days, Would you be able to? And then with me.

Speaker 2 51:30

I was gonna say what state was it? You said Utah. What was the other state?

Speaker 1 51:37

Idaho.

Speaker 2 51:38

And Idaho Nautipamp.

Speaker 1 51:40

No.

Speaker 2 51:41

I said I'm the Pimp.

Speaker 1 51:42

Yeah.

Speaker 2 51:43

You said Idaho right.

Speaker 1 51:44

Idaho and Nautipamp.

Speaker 2 51:49

No, shut up which one in Idaho?

Speaker 1 51:52

Bora Utah.

Speaker 2 51:54

Bora.

Speaker 1 51:55

Bora Kings.

Speaker 2 51:57

Highest point in Utah.

Speaker 1 51:58

Kings is pretty large. It takes it's 23, 25 miles.

Speaker 2 52:06

So the one that you haven't brought up yet? What was that 22 round trip that you did this summer that you haven't brought up yet?

Speaker 1 52:15

Whitney yeah, I don't think I will.

Speaker 2 52:18

Okay, I want to. Okay, how many miles was that round trip on that one that you? Can you talk?

Speaker 1 52:25

about it. No, whitney did it in less than 24 hours. Man, not a lot of people do it 24 hours. There's a ton of people that go to the base. It's disgusting. It's disgusting To know that people shit in the water that people filter to drink. It's gross.

Speaker 2 52:46

Yeah.

Speaker 1 52:47

It's nasty. Whitney, whitney, dude, there is no other mountain like Whitney. You don't, whitney? There's nothing like Whitney. You want to do it? Well, you want to do it.

Speaker 2 53:03

I want to do the Utah and Idaho trip over Whitney.

Bad Experience on Mount Whitney

Speaker 1 53:09

The more I go to the busy sections, man, the more I just get turned off. If you want to do Whitney, I'll do Whitney with you. We can conquer that bitch like nobody's business. The person I went with God, I thought he turned a new leaf. No, I'm very particular with the people I go with. That person's not the one. I learned a lot. I learned a lot that less than 24 hours, I conquered it. I would say I conquered it alone. The aftermath the dude was threatened. I feel he was a piece of shit. He was threatened. I did what I did, called it, finished it. It is what it is. Right, god, it's one hell of a mountain, though, dude. Whitney is one hell of a mountain. There is nothing like it, dude. The fact that you go to the shoe right, the hood what 500, maybe 500 feet right, is it 500 feet for the ridge line to the finish when you're in hood?

Speaker 2 54:44

When you're in hood.

Speaker 1 54:45

Yeah, okay, you know when we're going up the shoe, it's 500.

Speaker 2 54:49

From hogs back to the top, I think 10-4 to 11-2, so it's 700, 800 feet elevation difference between the hogs back and the true summit.

Speaker 1 55:05

So the shoe, whitney man, is two times that. So, dude, it is gnarly. So you're on all fours for at least an hour, almost two hours, depending on what you do right? So you get that, you got 1.9 miles to the top and it is up and down, up and down, right? And then you're like, okay, there's a snow field, there's a rock field. You're like, whatever you feel comfortable doing, I did the rock field. Okay, did it Pick your poison, right?

Speaker 1 55:43

Mm-hmm, I picked my poison. I did what I had to do. I did what I did, stoked everything else. Persona was a buzz kill, buzz kill Killed. It went down, ended up being elevation and I had a elevation throw. You remember that? Yeah, dude, I had elevation throw for two weeks afterwards. You ever had that? Never, bro, I'd rather have COVID and strep. It was almost like strep, but for two weeks.

Speaker 1 56:29

And then, on top of that, I had to deal with an asshole that was all like, hey, dude, you don't know, you ain't nothing, you ain't nobody. And I'm like all right, man, whatever, dude, you know? And to know, when we were going up, I was having issues with my crampons. Right, I was having issues with my crampons. To know, I had issues with my crampons. To know that I was having issues with my crampons and to know that I was beating his ass up the fucking mountain Sorry for the F-bomb, it says a lot, right. And the guy little man syndrome, you know it showed didn't want to deal with him. God, there was so much shit that was going on. I was trying to enjoy the moment. I enjoyed the moment. I do what I had to do without the guy Afterwards said a lot never in my life will I go with that person again. Right, and when it comes to accomplishing the big feats, dude, I'm all for supporting you, the person. This one, not so much man Does that makes any sense.

Speaker 2 57:56

No, I get it. And to me, it all depends on the heart of the person. And for you, for me, I don't know this person, never met him, don't know him.

Speaker 1 58:11

I don't think you will.

Speaker 2 58:12

You will, I will, man it's like you know, I don't know, kind of biased Cause, you know, I think really I love you and we've had nothing but good times and I've had struggles with you and it's like struggle Just on hood, like whole time up there I'm like, I'm doing, I'm struggling, but you're constantly building me up Like you got this, let's go, let's do this. There's nothing but positive from you and it's like I don't know. It's just it's tough for me to think that if there's somebody out there that you went with up in the mountains, it put you in a spot like Bro, it was hell.

Speaker 1 58:52

It's like I'm going to tell you it was hell. It was hell, it was hell, and afterwards was even more. It was a nightmare. It was a nightmare Because I didn't call the person out. I didn't call him out, right. The thing is is that I conquered it with the shit throw right. He didn't want to finish. I finished, I kept going Right, dude, it was hell, I couldn't drink. I couldn't drink. It hurt to drink, it hurt to eat, it hurt to do whatever right.

Speaker 1 59:36

And to know that afterwards, the way the treatment was going on, though I didn't have to call him out, he called himself out To know what I went through and to know what I did, conquered it, minus this asshole that I went with, you know, who wanted to fight for the smallest thing Little man syndrome. Let's just say that. Little man syndrome. It said a lot. It said a lot and because it said a lot, it made me feel that the guy was way below my league, you know. And when it comes to people, who I am with, the person that I'm with is number one. It's me the mountain, it's my buddy, the mountain. He did not share the same, he didn't share the same thought process as I did. No, I get that.

Speaker 2 1:00:50

You know just, you know, major, just, I'm going to say just saying hood with you, doing hood with you. I absolutely you on the way up, like I was struggling on the way up, you take pause, time out. You know, take a break, wait for me to get up there, ask me. You doing okay, bro, you doing good man, you doing good, you crushing this, and you know, and on the way down, I felt that it was the same as me, it was coming down faster and you were like I was hanging out.

Speaker 1 1:01:21

You're fucking hobbit dude.

Speaker 2 1:01:23

Right, but I'm just saying that You're fucking hobbit, I mean. I don't know it, just low center of gravity, bro, with that beard, I'm just saying you're a great person, Nick, and I am glad to be friends with you, and it just I wish that your experience on Whitney would have been better with somebody that I will never do Whitney again.

Speaker 1 1:01:46

I will never do Whitney again.

Speaker 2 1:01:49

I have no desire to ever do it.

Speaker 1 1:01:50

If you want to do Whitney, I will consider, I will reconsider, but I feel that was one of the shittiest experiences. That and clouds rest when I went with shitbag, when I went with him. I've had some shitty ass experiences. You might say a common denominator is me, but, dude, when somebody is on empty and water need the necessities to get past and somebody's offering and somebody wants to fight, I don't know if I'm the common denominator, but, dude, when I go out and I have these issues, dude, and I'm the one that's able to say, hey, dude, you can take my water, I don't think it's me, dude, I honestly don't think it's me. And people might say otherwise. But, bro, I've been learning the past two to five years that, bro, I go solo for a reason. I go solo for a reason, man.

Speaker 2 1:03:11

I just wanted to know that I don't ever think there would be a conflict with us ever, because I get your kindness from you and I feel you and it just sucks that you've I don't know. It just sucks that the people you've encountered can't match that same thing with you. I just feel like we match that, like you have the same thought. You've been around, dude and we come together and I understand I almost say I understand you. I'm not going to say that.

Speaker 1 1:03:47

Come together right now.

Speaker 2 1:03:50

You know everything, it's just it's like I'll hear you out. You have a lot of experience. You've done a lot of things.

Speaker 1 1:03:58

I just don't talk about it. And that's. You mentioned that this year. Yeah, I don't talk about it. Why? Because, dude, you know what? I just want to have fun. Man, it's not my penis is bigger than yours, or that guy's penis is bigger than mine, it is. It's like, dude, let's have fucking fun.

Speaker 2 1:04:20

Yeah, you've done a lot of stuff. Like every time we go out on something that we've we're doing together or jogging together or running together, there's like you drop something, like you've done that, holy crap, you've done that. And it's like shoot, you've got a lot under your belt and you don't share that a lot.

Speaker 1 1:04:38

And I drank half, and I drank half, and I drank half. I partied with somebody who had just a two-seater Mustang right and I sat in the back. I mean, that's how messed up I was on half right.

Speaker 1 1:11:40

I'm like hey bro, I was at a resort in San Diego All right and a high end resort for a wedding you know brother-in-law at the time and I ended up six, let's say I was on a good day six one Fittin' on the back of a two-seater Mustang and I'm like, dude, let's get some Blue Moon. I bought a 12 pack of Blue Moon, never even finished it, didn't even drink. I drank one beer but half Couldn't drink it, left it in the main hallway afterwards because I couldn't drink it.

Wow, I remember the story. I just didn't tell you. It's kind of crazy because I have a similar story, but mine with Blue Moon, and then the night with Blue Moon I ended up taking. This is before I started my journey, like 2010,.

Speaker 2 1:13:00

I went down to Clam-a-Fall Merrill your area went to school and went down there, I took my brother-in-law storage box from back in my super duty board. Yeah, and my plan was once we got that off there, he knew it. I was like I'm just planning on drinking all day and I was drinking heffa-wising.

Regular Participation in Podcast Discussions

Speaker 2 1:13:47

We left the running Y and the whole family. We decided to go up to what's that lake up there? You know I'm talking about Lake of the Woods.

Speaker 1 1:13:56

Lake of the Woods, lake of the.

Speaker 2 1:13:57

Woods and I'd been drinking all day and Lake of the Woods is like what? 5,000 feet, 6,000 feet, it's good, it's good feet.

Speaker 1 1:14:05

It's good feet.

Speaker 2 1:14:06

And it's a pretty big lake. I used to par you.

Speaker 1 1:14:08

It's pretty choppy, yep. Not too much choppy, it's not too choppy.

Speaker 2 1:14:13

Well, the wind was blowing.

Speaker 1 1:14:14

Wind is blowing. It's high up there, yes, and they had a dock the lofflin's right there and it's high, yes.

Speaker 2 1:14:20

It was a dock. It was out there Like, I would say, two-thirds of the way out to the center of it and, like I said, I've been drinking and thinking I was back in high school and so I was like I'm gonna go out to that furthest dock out in the lake and so just a little lightning pad is all it is.

Speaker 1 1:14:38

Guys, I'll let you know it is colder than the motherfucker, than anything throughout the year.

Speaker 2 1:14:48

Right, I go out there and my brother-in-law's there and I mean he's a wild land firefighter but he's kind of off season at that moment and I said I'm gonna go swim out there. Well, I get two-thirds of the way out to that and I'm like gassed because I've been drinking all day, my body's taking in alcohol. I'm like looking, there's another one closer, another little pad on the way back or at the shoreline, another little dock that's there. And so I was like, well, shoot, and then the water's choppy from the wind and just splashing my face and tired swimming. And so I was like I better go back to shore. I get back heading back to the shore and I'm like sucking water, I'm gassed, I am not good, I'm, I am. I don't have the energy. Been drinking heffa-wise and wind-a-mirro-heffy all day.

Speaker 1 1:15:43

How many do you think you had?

Speaker 2 1:15:47

Shoot.

Speaker 1 1:15:50

Cans or bottles, bottles.

Speaker 2 1:15:52

I don't think they had cans back then. Yeah, yeah and so I at least 30, I know that it's well over a case and that whole day.

Speaker 2 1:16:01

And it was, and so I'm swimming back and I remember I was like so I'm like taking in water, like like cause it's splashing over my face. It's splashing over my face, yeah, and I'm like, okay, I see the dock in my brother-in-law's there, like I said, he's, he's a firefighter and he wasn't drinking as much as I was. Yeah, I don't even, I don't even think it was drinking that much. But you know, and I'm like, okay, one last dish effort and I remember going in my face is underwater and I reached my hand up and I got the dock and I like sat up there right close to the shoreline and just recovered for like 10 minutes.

Speaker 1 1:16:43

Just hanging there, hanging there, and Lake of the Woods, lake of the Woods Between, was it Jack? Is it Jackson County? Is it Jackson County is between Klamath County?

Speaker 2 1:16:55

I don't think it's Klamath County, I think it's Jack.

Speaker 1 1:16:57

Jackson yeah.

Speaker 2 1:16:58

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I finally get recovered. I get to the shoreline and I'm there and, like, gassed out, I'm like holy crap, I almost felt like I could have died there.

Speaker 1 1:17:09

Right.

Speaker 2 1:17:10

But on the way back to Merrill that's where my brother-in-law and sister lived we stopped at a place in Klamath Falls and I ended up getting like a six pack of Blue Moon because they didn't have anything else there and I think it had like two of those and I couldn't finish the Blue Moon and it was. It was shitty, it was all shitty. So it's your story of what you said you got the Blue Moon, Couldn't you, bro, couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 1:17:36

He came in here as Heisenberg but and then he's it. Just he's an actor, he, you know, I get it, but you know, but yeah, I it's. Yeah, I ended up getting this boundary. I guess I don't want to say how much on on air here, but I got it more. But it was a motorhome as a 87 boundary, as a year newer than the boundary Smells clean dude, how many miles?
