Luke's so often, people email us, and they have this story. They're out in their woods, and they're looking in the bushes, and they go, what's that? And when you are pouring your dog food and your dog's bowl, that's the last thing you want to say. What is that? What is this stuff coming out of this bag? You know, I don't think a lot of us think about maybe what we feed our dogs, and that's why we partner with rough greens.

Most of us would love to have our dogs, you know, live as long as possible. I just lost my dog in December. And I would have just, I would have loved more time with Carl. And one of the things you can do to get more time with your dog is to feed them better. Dog owners don't usually realize that live nutrients that their dog needs to thrive or missing from the food. You just talked about. What is that, right?

And thousands of dogs are feeling younger, more energetic and healthier than they have in years. That's why we love it. I'm giving it to our two dogs.

You know, and I've got older dogs, Nate, as I said. And so since they've been getting Rough Greens with their food, I've noticed they have more energy. Their joints hurt less. They're older. I mean, they were talking 12 and 13 years old. And Rough Green's really made a difference in their energy levels and the pep in their step.

I always think it's funny Luke Every time we talk about Mount Herman I just think to myself That's the camp I went to every year growing up Yeah didn't you work there too? Yeah I worked there I have, it's just so bizarre and wild that this camp I went to my whole life called Mount Herman. We used to call it Mount hormone.

Yeah, Mount Hormone is the right. When you go to Christian camp, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, dude. The old Christian baseball, we used to call it, where, you know, it wasn't like playing baseball. It was like, you know, first base was like holding the hands and then second base is like slow dancing with a Bible's distance between you. Yeah. I think third base was like touch of the touch of the, touch of the thigh. Touch of the thigh.

Not too far. Not too far. Maybe you got smooching in the back of the bus and the way home from camp. Was that hitting one out of the park? Yeah, a little smooch, yeah. Smooch or two with the good Christian girl on the back of the bus and the way back from. Here's how deep this is. This is in the heart of the Santa Cruz mountains in Bigfoot country.

Redwood trees meets the ocean. I went to a Bigfoot museum right near Mount Hermann. years later, right? How'd that go? Was it at the mystery spot? It's near the mystery spot. Technically, it was in Felton, California, right at the base of Mount Herman. But everything comes full circle on this show.

You've been trying to run away from your Bigfoot beliefs in Mount Herman and the watchers and the weird narrative in the Bible that you never knew was true. And here we are, man. I had no idea. I was thinking about summer camp. So you went to Mount Herman. I went to a place called Alliance Redwoods. Yeah.

in Occidental, California. Ox where? Occidental. I knocked out a kid in fourth grade in a pillow fight. You knocked out a kid? Yeah. I thought I was going to get sent home. He was a bigger kid.

He bullied everybody in the cabin. And, you know, sometimes you just, you got to punch back. Yeah. I did it with a pillow and just knocked him. When your counselor came over, you just like, I didn't do it on purpose. It was an oxidant. There you go. It was an Occidental knockout.

But you didn't try to kiss girls in the 80s. Maybe you did. Sometimes? Sometimes you just got to try, you know? Did you kiss a girl in the 80s, Luke? The fans want to know. That would have made me eight years old by the end of 1989. Mm-hmm.

There was a girl that kissed me repeatedly, and it was not at my behest in kindergarten. You didn't want it. try to, didn't want it. Nope. I'd be at the water fountain and I'd get a kiss on the cheek and I was like, I did not want that. I did not ask for that. And that was the, that was how it went, the rest of his life.

No, actually, at some point, Nate, I did want it. Well, I'm just saying you always get kissed by the lady you don't want to get kissed by it. No, that ended after kindergarten, Nate. She didn't keep it up. It was one down year. I had a slump that year. And after that, it was, uh, only the kisses you want. Dude, I see you're wearing your Bigfoot shirt.
