This, this, this, this is Mythical.
DQ presents Picture This.
Picture the Reese's Extreme Blizzard.
Reese's peanut butter cups and Reese's Pieces in one Blizzard treat.
Wait, are you dreaming? No?
Then yeah, this Reese's Extreme Blizzard is real.
And for a limited time at DQ.
Happy tastes good.
Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time.
I'm Rhett.
And I'm Link.
This week at the roundtable of dim lighting, we thought it would be good to go ahead and follow up
the college friend adventure trip with planning for our next trip.
We usually plan starting around now.
You got to plan ahead of time.
And so we asked for your input
and some of you just volunteered it
after that episode was distributed.
So we just wanna talk through that because-
You got decisions to make.
The best time to plan a trip is when you're on a trip.
But then this, and that,
well that annoys Christy off, but it annoys her off. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't even know you're on a trip. But then this, and that, boy that annoys Christy off.
It annoys her off.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't even know if that's a phrase.
It was kind of a joke right after a trip.
Right after a successful trip,
that oh man, we gotta do that again.
Let's go ahead and, you know, we had a group of friends
that we did like, we did a weekend away,
not our college friends, a different group, and right on the heels of that, I was like, we did a weekend away, not our college friends,
a different group, and right on the heels of that,
I was like, let's pick it, let's pick it.
It's a good technique.
I agree with that, right on the heels,
right on the heels, got the momentum.
Ride the afterglow of any nice little outing
or get together, because when you're talking about
five different entities, when you're bringing together more people,
and let's face it, at our age,
we're trying to bring together as many people
so that our wives don't have to just put up with our shit
every time we go on a trip.
And everyone's life is complicated.
You got to get the calendars out early.
Everybody's got all kinds of stuff going on.
Everybody's got something that has to be accommodated.
It's like, well, I'd usually do this.
And well, this won't work for me because of this.
And I mean.
I need trips to look forward to, man.
But aren't you always a little bit like,
I mean, the balance that I'm trying to strike in my life
is not looking too forward to a trip.
Well, I know, yeah, you don't wanna build it up.
Yep, it's a good, yeah, you gotta have that balance.
Continue making the plans, but keep the expectations low.
Oh, I'm surprised, I'm having a great time.
Let's do another one of these.
But always expect that it's gonna go
just completely haywire.
So we have voicemails, we have some tweets,
we have some suggestions from people
who work closely with us.
Let's see, and I got some websites pulled up.
Oh, you have websites, wow.
I got a couple of things pulled up.
And we're not gonna commit to anything,
right, today, just so you know, okay?
I mean, let's set you right, well, maybe we will.
If we're both really, really convinced.
And we're gonna put it, yeah,
because we can't decide for the group,
but we gotta find a couple of things to put forward.
And if you made a bad suggestion.
We're gonna let you have it.
We'll probably just, you know,
we'll probably just have a backhanded way
of letting you know that, you know.
Yeah. We won't directly tell you that it's a bad idea.
We'll just talk about it in a way that causes you to realize that it's a bad idea.
Should we get into it?
Yeah.
All right.
Let's hear a voicemail.
Hey, Red Link.
It's your boy Will down here in sunny southwest Florida,
and I'm going to make my pitch for your next college boys vacation.
We got the beaches.
We got two beautiful towns, Fort Myers and Naples.
And for adventure, you have the Everglades next door.
You got some airboat rides.
I could even take you on a personal swamp hike, you know, you won't regret it, but do some research.
It'd be great.
Come on down to sunny Southwest Florida
and keep on being mythical, guys.
You guys are great.
Southwest Florida.
We're starting with Florida, really?
We gotta set the bar. This is the first place?
Gotta set the bar somewhere.
I'm scared of Florida.
Well, listen, hey, listen, it's a peninsula.
It does have beautiful beaches,
and we're talking about the Gulf side.
I mean, beautiful white sand beaches.
I mean, it's been many years since-
I don't want to go to the beach.
I'm just saying.
I don't wanna be on a beach with my college buddies.
I mean, I go to the beach.
Yeah, you can do adventurous things on the beach though,
and you're very close to Everglades.
Which I actually, I did Everglades boat ride.
But you didn't, you said that you weren't south enough.
You didn't go like to the deep glades.
No, I was in Miami.
You were too far south.
Too far south, yeah.
Yeah, so I mean, I saw Gators.
And I've never done that.
I saw Gators.
I would be up for Everglades
if there was a gator wrestling class.
Like I wanna see my boys tussle with a gator.
Yeah, that's probably not gonna happen.
Can we Google that?
Gator wrestling?
I can do it.
We can all do it.
Yeah, I don't believe that's a consumer activity.
Gator wrestling class?
It's a professional.
It's the kind of thing a professional does
and it's a professional guy
who isn't actually a professional at it
because that's not a profession.
Where can I wrestle Gator in Florida?
You could go to Gator Golf Adventure Park
in Orlando and you can maybe watch somebody do it there.
What about Everglades Holiday Park?
Where can I wrestle a gator?
To wrestle an alligator is a popular pastime
in the Sunshine State and witnessing a live show
is loads of fun.
Where are the gators?
I think it's gonna be too hot, man.
Can we just say that?
It's gonna be too hot.
I mean this website that I'm reading,
here's the next sentence.
You can them throughout Alligator Alley.
You can what?
You can probably find them.
They took out the verb.
Well, they want you to find the word find.
Literally the verb. In your own mind.
Like the one thing I'm looking for,
wrestle, was like taken out.
You can them throughout Alligator Alley
and on Everglades National Park boat tours.
You can wrestle them? Listen, if you're good. Or canning, is it like you can can them? You can them throughout Alligator Alley and on Everglades National Park boat tours. You can wrestle them?
Listen, if you're good.
Or canning, is it like you can can them?
You can them.
You can them.
Oh, once you wrestle them, kill them.
And you make your own purses and stuff.
You can can or bottle them.
If you're really good at alligator wrestling,
you're not great at writing copy on websites.
You know the Venn diagram,
it's a pair of binoculars.
This does say how it's done,
with every gator handler has a different approach.
I think you're going too deep into this.
Secure a seat on the gator's back, control the jaws.
Yeah, this isn't gonna happen.
Pay your fee.
It's too hot in Florida at this time of year
when we're gonna be doing this.
Summertime, late summer.
But you're saying that you can't,
well you can do whatever you want.
Here's a Groupon, $49 for an alligator wrestling class
at Alligator Adventure.
Groupon, $50.
I mean.
They got a little girl in the advertisement.
Currently unavailable.
Yeah, currently unavailable.
The guy who teaches it got eaten.
Gator handling class, learn behavior and anatomy,
wade in a pool with real gators.
Whatever, they all got their mouths taped shut.
This isn't no fun.
You must be 10 or older to wrestle a gator.
Limit four per person.
For gators?
You can only wrestle the gator four times.
I'm looking at the reviews.
Not what I expected, but was small, private, and hands-on.
I like that.
I like those three.
Those are my three catchphrases.
What are the gators?
Small, private, and hands-on.
What do the gators think about this though?
Yeah, this is, we are joking.
It feels exploitive.
We do not actually want to wrestle a gator,
but I just want to know about it.
Okay, well we'll take that into consideration.
Alligator wrestling class, yes, it's a thing.
WFLX.
Yeah, I don't thing. WFLX.
Yeah, I don't wanna wrestle a gator.
And other than, I just, I don't know. Florida's too hot.
Yeah, I've been to Florida multiple times
in the past like two years.
Let's go a different direction.
There's things I love about it
and there's things I don't want to see about it anymore.
Hi, Rhett and Link.
My name is Melvina.
I'm from Seattle, and I have a suggestion for your next trip with the boys.
I thought of this because you mentioned Alaska, and this is in Alaska,
and I was actually there last summer, and it was incredible.
It is Katmai National Park, and if you've never heard of Katmai, you're about to.
It's a beautiful national park, lovely scenery, but there's also bears that roam wild and free,
and you can see them kind of up close.
You can't get more than 50 feet away from them, I think.
But very cool, very immersive, very serene, very beautiful experience.
And also, the only way to get there is by a tiny little seaplane.
And honestly, taking the seaplane was equally as enjoyable as hanging out with the bears.
Oh, and there's a really, really good buffet-style cafeteria in the park in a little cabin.
I'm sold.
So I would recommend.
You can also kayak and do lots of other stuff.
It was a beautiful day trip.
I think you'd enjoy it.
Thanks for listening.
So wrestling bears in Alaska.
Yeah, yeah, while eating at a buffet.
This is a step up.
Alaska's a long way out there.
We're trying to make this a long weekend
and Alaska creates, presents challenges for a long weekend,
especially when then you have to go to Alaska
and then take a small seaplane to your destination.
Right.
And if you're telling me the seaplane is the best,
just as good as watching the bears, I'm like, oh.
I'm sure it's scenic.
Well, I think this is an opportunity.
This is an opportunity to,
we're not gonna go to Alaska for this trip.
Just, I'm sorry.
You really like to shut these things down quick.
We're not going to the two peninsula states
that I can think of right now.
There might be others.
I think part of Louisiana is a peninsula.
Well, part of lots of states have a peninsula
if you're just carving out different little spots
of the coastline.
I'm talking about the state itself is a peninsula.
Okay.
I mean, Maine could be.
Is there a top part to Maine that's Canada
that we don't see on our maps?
Yeah, there is.
Here's the issue with this,
or I just wanna explore this.
From an adventure standpoint,
is interacting with bears,
and this would be observing bears from 50 feet,
that's adventurous.
Is it the kind of adventure that you had in mind?
Well, I mean, if they got closer than 50 feet,
you could feel like you were gonna die.
So yeah, I think that's what I'm after
is feeling a little threatened on a life level.
But these are grizzly bears, potentially polar bears.
I don't know, but both very deadly.
This isn't black bear territory like we got down here.
But you know, they're just out there.
Well, how far is 50 feet?
That's actually, that's pretty close actually for a bear.
It's closer than I, it's too close to get away
if they decide that they wanna wrestle you.
Now, if I'm on like an ATV or something,
then now we're talking. Or I don't know, if I'm on like an ATV or something, then now we're talking.
Or, I don't know, if I'm on a horse.
Maybe you're in a vehicle.
Maybe a tamer bear.
Ride the tame bears to the wild bears.
Is that a thing?
We could probably get a tame bear.
All right, I'm gonna Google it.
Riding bears, can we ride bears where?
Where to ride bears?
Yeah, you're gonna get yourself in trouble.
How to ride a bear in Zelda Breath of the Wild.
Yeah, you can do that.
And Link, you can do that.
You know what, boys?
This year, we're just gonna play Zelda Breath of the Wild.
Remotely. Over LAN.
Yeah.
No, we'll be in the same room.
We'll be on a LAN.
That's it, that's the only way we're gonna ride a bear.
Okay, Alaska probably not gonna happen.
Just can't fit it.
Can't fit it. It's too far.
It's too far.
We had a tweet from Randall.
Y'all should check out Galena, Illinois.
Is that what IL is?
I believe so.
Great little town about three hours west of Chicago.
Tons of history.
Who gives a shit about history?
Well, hold on, Kanye.
For an adventure vacation,
my boys don't wanna go to President Grant's house.
Listen, before you shit on history, history's important.
But I mean, while I'm in adventure vacation mode.
But I agree with you.
In this context, I don't wanna go to a president's house. But I agree with you, in this context,
I don't wanna go to a president's house.
Can I ride President Grant?
Unless we're gonna jump off.
Can I wrestle him?
We're gonna jump off the house into like a,
apparently like a pool full of alligators.
He does gonna say there are tons of fun
extreme activities outside of town.
Skiing hill with massive slide.
Tour of the Mississippi River. Okay, Tour of the Mississippi River.
Okay, tour of the Mississippi River.
Is that like getting on a ferry?
I think it might be just getting on a boat of some sort.
Caves and more.
Now caves, I mentioned to you that I was into
the idea of caves.
There's some great caves in the continental United States.
Let me throw out a cave. I think it's called Mammoth Cave,
is that the one in Kentucky?
Mammoth Cave.
Good God.
Let me read you about this.
It's a national park in South Central Kentucky.
This is not what I wanted, this is not where I wanted to go.
It's very big.
Why is Mammoth Cave so famous, some people ask.
You could click on that.
See, do we wanna go all the way out to Kentucky?
We could do that.
Well, one of the most popular attractions in Kentucky,
Mammoth Cave National Park was established
to preserve the cave system.
It is the longest recorded cave system in the world
with more than 400 miles explored and mapped.
And I think there's like another 600 miles
that's never been explored.
So that's what we're gonna do.
At Missionton National Park is free.
This could be cool.
Have you ever been there?
You've been around Kentucky?
Yeah, I lived in Louisville for a while,
but I actually haven't been to Mammoth Cave before.
Does it have a good rep, good reputation?
Oh yeah, real good rep.
I mean, I had some friends who got into this caving thing
for a while where you go to certain places
and you, I'm not talking about walking in
and grandma is on her walker next to you
and you go, I'm talking about like,
you're dropping in from the surface of the earth
straight down on this rope and it takes you like two hours
to get back up, you know?
Oh, for real?
You go spelunking.
Yeah, and then you're down there
and you spend multiple days in a cave.
And multiple days in a cave,
I think one of the things we talked about
is we wanted to be able to come back
to a nice house every night, not spend the night inside a cave. I think one of the things we talked about is we wanted to be able to come back to a nice house every night,
not spend the night inside a cave.
No, we don't wanna spend the night,
but I mean, I just searched mammoth cave luxury cabins.
Oh, they got cabins in caves?
They're not in there, they're just around there.
I've always wanted to sleep in a cave if it was nice.
So if I look on the map here,
and again, this is my idea.
No, you didn't suggest this cave.
Well, I said caves right when we got done
with our last trip.
Where are we?
I'm a cave man.
Where are we?
I wanna get, I don't know how to use this.
But then when you, here's the only issue,
I'm not saying that there's nothing to slight Kentucky here,
but I'm just saying, when you get out of the cave,
you're in Kentucky.
Which is.
Yeah, which is no slight to Kentucky.
Which is just, it's just something to consider.
I'm not, I'm just saying it's one of the things to consider.
Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
And Kentucky's a beautiful place.
I've been there multiple times.
Luxury cabins in Mammoth Cave from $17.
Yeah, well, the dollar goes a long way in Kentucky.
Wow, I think that's something to think about
is a little bit of Kentucky,
but I think what you're saying is
we're familiar with Kentucky.
It doesn't seem like, when we've been going to Colorado,
it seems like a whole other ball of wax.
We already talked about Durango, but boy,
who's the guy in The Princess Bride who plays,
you killed my father, what's his name?
Manny.
Diego Montoya.
What's the real guy's name?
I can't remember. Who cares?
Well, a lot of people care, he's a famous actor,
he's very accomplished,
and he has a very interesting TikTok with his wife,
and he's history. Mandy Patinkin.
Yeah, yeah, Mandy Patinkin.
I love him, I care about him.
He was talking about a road trip that he was going on.
Okay. On his TikTok.
And he was talking all about it,
and his final stop was Durango, Colorado.
And I was like, even Mandy knows.
It's gonna be tough.
There's no Durango in Kentucky.
Maybe we need to quit while we're ahead.
You're saying we don't need to plan a trip?
I'm just saying there's a reason that Colorado has arisen
to be this, it's got so much to offer.
I mean, I don't know, I'm still open-minded.
I'm not saying we're not going to Kentucky.
I'm just saying you wanna think about that a little.
What about Montana?
Now Montana's got quite a reputation.
Now I found this fancy schmancy place called Paw's Up.
P-A-W-S, I don't know why it's called Paw's Up.
Montana Ranch with wilderness activities.
They've got all that you could horseback riding adventure.
We've been talking about that.
Ooh, sporting clays.
Sporting clays, ATV tour.
I actually, I mean, I would love to do that.
I'm afraid to ask unless we can rule it out.
How do you feel about fly fishing?
I've never, I've never, I fished a lot.
I've never fly fished.
It seems cumbersome.
Oh good, good.
Keep that negativity going
because I don't want any fly fishing either.
But if I click on- It's too hard.
It's too hard to be good at.
Horseback riding adventure time to cowboy up
from spectacular views of the legendary Blackfoot River and Jones Pond
to sprawling meadows.
The horseback thing does sound fun.
You'll take in a wide-eyed gulp
of the surrounding wilderness.
You do have to get your- Whether you're experienced
or you've never ridden horseback before,
you'll lay eyes on historical and breathtaking sites
and you'll wrestle a horse for free.
I mean, he says, or try your hand running
and sorting cattle with an authentic cattle drive.
Again, this is City Slickers stuff,
which I'm totally not above.
Nope, and they have luxury homes on the property.
Oh.
I wanna rustle some cattle and then go back to my luxury.
But yeah, like-
The City Slickers thing-
A cattle drive?
The cattle drive thing is intriguing on a number of levels.
You gotta get your crotch ready to ride a horse
for a few days though.
I'm up for that training.
To like some mechanical, oh well, it's different.
I think we're gonna have to rent a mechanical bull
and put it on low power and just go out there
a couple hours a day to get our horse legs ready.
You gotta get your crotch worked up
because you'll have a horrible time.
The chafing, your taint will just be on fire.
Right.
Let me see, horseback riding.
See, if I click on cattle drive,
how does this actually work?
Novice and advanced riders alike will join
with seasoned ranch hands in driving a herd of cattle
for the experience of a lifetime.
Yeah, curly.
It's an unforgettable adventure
that will help you discover your inner wrangler.
Novice guests should experience a trail ride
prior to signing up for a cattle drive
so they get a better understanding
of how to steer a horse independently from the group.
Yeah, there's no wheel link.
I wanna do this.
Cattle drive right now, number one choice for me.
But the picture, okay, they're wearing helmets.
I guess that's good.
Never seen a cowboy wearing a helmet
unless he's on a rodeo, but okay. Yeah, I guess that's good. Never seen a cowboy wearing a helmet unless he's on a rodeo, but okay.
Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
And I see that there's cows,
but I also see that there's a fence.
Are they just like pushing them around from fence to fence?
I mean- No, I mean-
We're trying to get them across the Rockies?
Is it a real cattle drive?
No, let's just say no. These these just, these cattle are just like,
why are we always going back and forth for these tourists?
Which actually, if you think about it,
at least we're not driving them to their death
to be turned into hamburgers at the end of it.
No, that's part of it.
Unless that is part of it.
I think it is cattle to table.
Oh gosh.
Cattle drive to table.
Well, I've got to reassess that.
So that's an option.
Montana, I'm loving that.
Location and getting here.
Montana has got, Montana has a tourist.
Montana's a new Colorado.
It's got like a tourist economy, meaning that.
People come for this type of stuff.
When you get out of the cave in Montana,
you're in Montana and you're in some cool little city
that's got these like, you know.
Right, and we could watch city-
Restaurants for soft boys.
You're ready for it, which I've-
Don't think I've never seen.
Well, I'm familiar with it.
I haven't had a need to see it.
I mean, but now it could be homework.
Oh, but let's take a second
and promote our retro striped tee and socks.
Yes, we've got a new shirt and some socks.
Some of the favorite merch that we have released,
my favorite merch that we've released this year.
70 style color blocked.
Well, I call it striped,
it's vintage stripes.
Yeah, available in cream with red
and yellow color block stripes.
And we've also got three colorways of socks
that you can get.
This is a, what is the company
that we're working with on this?
American Trench, it's a collaboration
with American Trench, which is like what all
of my vintage socks are,
that's where they're from.
Yeah, so we've got blue and red,
we've got blue, green, and orange,
and we've got red, pink, and orange.
Well, they're called Seaside GMM and Sunset,
so get all that at mythical.com.
Summer is like a cocktail.
It has to be mixed just right.
Start with a handful of great friends.
Now, add your favorite music.
And then, finally, add Bacardi Rum.
Shake it together.
And there you have it.
The perfect summer mix.
Bacardi. Do what moves you.
Live passionately. Drink responsibly.

Rum 40% alcohol by volume.
Let's get into, I asked Kara, you know,
like Kara helped like plan the logistics of our last one.
And she sent a list of stuff.
And she Googled feeling like you're gonna die trips,
I think is how she put it.
Okay, great.
On that list, not least on that list,
is aerial dog fighting.
Now this is not a Michael Vick thing in the sky.
Yeah. This is jets.
Right, no dogs will be harmed.
Where is this?
Right here.
Of course this is in Vegas.
Now we're to the Vegas of it all, okay?
And I don't think there's any way around it.
Vegas has got a lot of things, man.
Lot of things.
You can go up in a fighter jet
and you get to fly the maneuvers.
Why ride along when you can fly your own air show routine?
Best part, you fly the plane.
What?
I have seen this, yeah.
Both basic and advanced aerobatics.
I'm not gonna be in a plane where you're in control.
Just so you know.
You take the controls and become-
You won't be in the same plane.
Okay, good. Meaning he doesn't have to land it. just so you know. You take the controls and become- You won't be in the same plane.
Meaning he doesn't have to land it. Once our highly trained instructor pilots
show you how to do a maneuver, they eject.
And it's your turn to take control.
Don't worry, no flight experience is necessary.
There is an identical set of flight controls in the back
so your instructor pilot is there to back you up.
It's like driver's ed, they don't work.
Right.
He's like looking over your shoulder like try to,
It's like your little brother.
Try to really sync it up.
Your little brother with the Nintendo controller.
Right.
You will be amazed at what you can do
in these unbelievable planes
after a small amount of training.
I have some issues with this.
I'm just gonna go and throw it out there.
I think I'm gonna get motion sickness,
pretty bad in this situation.
Well, you bring it on yourself.
And I also think that-
You get motion sickness
when you're behind the wheel though?
Never, I don't get car sick.
I get seasick and I think that I would get air sick
in this situation.
Yeah, they do spin and they pull a few Gs.
Like I'm not good on roller coasters.
I also don't fit very well.
What's the maximum height?
Does it have that?
Go to the FAQ.
What's the maximum height?
Because I couldn't be in the Air Force.
I'm too tall for the Air Force.
There's not an FAQ.
Because my head would go,
I would get decapitated every time the top of the plane attached itself to the,
I'm too tall.
There's also an air combat, sky combat version
where they keep saying this is not a simulation,
you're flying real high performance airplanes
with real fighter planes.
You fly the plane and you shoot down your friends?
It's not real ammo, it's just,
it's kind of like laser tag.
It'll give you every thrill of an actual aerial dog fight,
including the satisfaction of scoring a direct hit
with optical targeting system and watching smoke
come out of your opponent's aircraft.
So you get to simulate killing your friends.
Okay, this is getting better.
That's cool.
That's cool.
And when you wake up, you're in Vegas.
When you come to, you're in Vegas.
I'm just saying there's a lot of stuff to experience there.
It's okay, I mean, nothing against the boys
on the East Coast, but this would be pretty easy
for us to get to. Yeah, it would be very easy. It's direct flight, against the boys on the East Coast, but this would be pretty easy for us to get to.
Yeah, it would be very easy.
It's direct flight, takes a couple hours.
We could walk and get there before 10.
As long as it takes him to get in place.
Well, let me just say something.
In no water either.
In defense of Vegas, as it relates to everyone
coming from all over the nation where the guys come from,
everybody would probably be able
to get a direct flight to Vegas.
But then you're in Vegas.
I know you're in Vegas.
Vegas, you know, it's like-
No, but we would go say-
It's kind of cliche, boys trip to Vegas.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we would say,
I'm just trying to consider it, you know?
I'm not planning on Vegas, I'm just trying to consider it.
We would be like, we're doing a non-Vegas trip.
But you're still, I don't know if you could do like,
maybe you could stay outside of Vegas.
We're doing all the adventure stuff in Vegas.
Like not stay in like a casino hotel type thing.
I don't think we're gonna wanna do that.
No gambling.
Maybe see a show.
Maybe see a show.
Yeah.
Maybe hit a couple of buffets, I mean.
I have another friend group that I go to Vegas with.
Buffet in Alaska.
That's the other part.
I have friends who I go to.
But do you know how many things you can do?
There's actually, we should talk about this,
maybe this doesn't happen for this trip.
Chase was telling me that there's like
some incredible scuba diving situations in Vegas
where you dive in a just giant pool
with all these like cool features
and you're just like really deep.
Oh, it's like a playground?
Yeah, it's like a scuba playground.
Look that up real quick,
maybe we should just do that, the two of us.
Before we move off of flight,
I did want to acknowledge the Zero-G experience
and this is also flying out of Vegas and some other places.
Oh no, this is when they,
oh, this is when you go into the flight.
The Zero-G experience starts at $9,000 plus 5% tax
and fees per person and includes 15 parabolas.
It's really the 5.2% tax
that's really throwing me off here.
So you're paying 10 grand.
Per person? Which we're not gonna do.
Yeah, yeah, let's move on.
But you fly 15 parabolas,
including lunar and zero gravity.
You also get a zero G flight suit
and a completion pin if you complete.
I don't, I mean, yes, I would like to experience it,
but not that much more than bungee jumping or skydiving,
which I don't have a desire to do either one of those.
I like to do something where it's more paced.
It's not like over before you know it.
Yeah. You know?
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
15 parabolas, you're not gonna feel good about that,
physically.
But what about driving a tank?
Which you can- Is this the same place?
No. Is this Vegas?
You can certainly do this in Vegas,
but I'm highlighting driveatank.com, which is in-
Kentucky? No, it's in-
Drive a tank into a cave.
Where is drive, I think it's in.
Let's look at the contact information.
Minnesota.
Minnesota.
You can drive a tank in Minnesota.
History, oh gosh.
It led with history.
Who gives a shit?
Power, yeah, tanks, yeah. Yeah, and then they start with history. It led with history. Who gives a shit? Power, yeah, tanks, yeah.
Yeah, and then they got different packages.
Three star, four star, five star, Sherman and Ultimate.
Crush a car with a tank.
Crush two cars.
Drive a tank through a house.
Okay, all right, I'm listening.
Click on drive a tank through a house.
It might be over before you know it.
And do they have to rebuild the house?
That's a trailer. This is a mobile home.
This is a tank driving through a mobile home, y'all.
And it's been gutted.
No one is living there.
I wanna see people evacuated before I go through the tank.
Yeah, yeah, I wanna drive a tank to an occupied home.
I do want them to know,
but I want them to know as late as possible so that-
We've called them 30 seconds before.
And you, but you know what? You gotta make the call.
Yeah, yeah.
You have to call.
You call.
You call as the tank's in motion.
You have to personally call.
It's part of like...
They could be taking a shit.
It doesn't matter.
They gotta get out of that house
because you're coming through
and you paid.
You paid good money to do it.
You learn people skills, you know?
It's not just about driving the tank
through their house.
I don't know how to say this.
It's about alerting them.
Are you sitting down?
I hope not because I'm about to drive
a tank through their house. I don't know how to say this. It's about alerting them. Are you sitting down? I hope not, because I'm about to drive a tank
through your house.
I think they rebuild, they bring in these mobile homes
that are gutted.
The next day Habitat for Humanity comes in
and you all build a home again.
That's how it works.
Then you get to take parts of it.
Mobile home destruction, a rare opportunity
to make a huge mess.
Wow.
Your goal will be to leave nothing standing,
both inside and out will be demolished by the end of this.
You get one trailer per tank?
Mm-hmm.
Well, how much does this cost?
This feels expensive, maybe not nine grand.
Drive a tank is the only place in the world
where you can drive a tank through a mobile home.
Yeah, this doesn't feel like a very in demand thing.
It's pretty badass though.
We could be the second company.
Oh, what's it?
Well, here's a guy with a baseball bat.
Why the hell?
Well, I think you can go and tear up the mobile home too.
I think you go in there first with a bat if you want to,
if you wanna ease into it.
That guy's got mobile home all over his tank.
I love it.
It's just a picture of a mobile home
with like, I mean clearly, they just,
all right, everybody gather around who works here,
pick up insulation for this mobile home
and pile it on top of this tank for the photo op.
For the website.
This is great.
This is fun. Pricing, click on pricing.
I just, I gotta know.
Purchase?
Well it was down there at the bottom.
But sure, you have to call.
Yeah they don't tell you.
Pick your package, call our office, purchase your package.
Well I don't know how much, I don't know.
That's pretty fun, right?
I mean I think it'd be fun, but again,
when you get out of the tank with the mobile home
still attached to it, you're in Minnesota.
Now, and nothing against Minnesota,
is that something we want?
I love Minnesota.
Minneapolis is one of my favorite cities that I've been to
on our different tours and stuff.
The frequently asked questions page is broken.
Well, because no one has any questions.
It's driving a tank through a mobile home.
What else do you need to know?
You get it, you get it.
Well, let's take another voicemail,
see if somebody else has some better ideas.
Hi guys, my name is Alisa and I'm from Alberta, Canada.
I just listened to your podcast talking about your second adventure to Colorado and I wanted to give you maybe a recommend.
I worked at a fishing lodge in the Northwest Territories, Canada.
It's on Great Slave Lake and the fishing lodge is called Frontier Fishing.
It's pretty sick it's the deepest lake in north america at over 2200 feet deep so it feels basically like you're
on the ocean but it's a lake it's a long line the town is co-run or sorry the lodge is co-run by the town called Litsike, the Thayden and Nene indigenous people.
And you take a float plane from Yellowknife to the lodge.
You can do like a three-day trip where you fish with a guide.
And then you stay at the lodge that has just been redone and all the cabins that have just been redone.
And you are served every meal.
Yeah, and it's pretty cool.
I would suggest that.
There's like grayling fishing, pike fishing, lake trout fishing, all like trophy worthy,
super fun.
And then hanging out in Yellowknife is really fun too.
There's like good historical sites, museums, restaurants, et cetera.
So that would be my recommend.
Thank you, goodbye.
So it's international, but it's Canada.
Yeah, she said fishing a lot.
But Northwest territory.
A lot of fishing.
So let's talk about fishing.
You obviously are not responding to fishing.
And I'm not a proponent.
I'm not saying that I definitely was thinking
we should be fishing.
I don't think we should be fishing.
But like, why?
Can I be clear?
Why not?
What do you, what do you,
let me just wanna, I wanna understand.
Well, I've fished.
I've never, I've never had a good.
I have, I have fished.
I've never had a good fishing experience.
It's, I wouldn't call it scary.
Well, tell me about your fishing experiences. I don't, I don't wanna talk scary. Well tell me about your fishing experiences.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I would bore myself to death.
Well.
I was like, you know what,
I regret clicking on this one, I mean thank you.
Well but let me just say, I'm not pushing for fishing,
but I will say that I think that your fishing experiences
are probably not a great indicator of a-
Like a fly fishing when you're walking in a river, maybe.
Like standing on a shore, no.
Sitting on a boat, no.
Right, right, right.
But I think you're thinking about like your father-in-law
taking you out in a boat on a lake in Eastern North Carolina,
which is, again, nothing-
Let's not throw him under the boat.
No, wait, listen, nothing against him,
but like when you pay to go on these things-
I get it, when you get out of the boat,
you're still in Kinston.
No, when you pay to go on these things. I get it, when you get out of the boat, you're still in Kinston. No, when you pay to go on these things,
there's people like making sure that you don't have
to really know what you're doing.
They're like hand you a rod.
I mean, I went deep sea fishing one time
and they gave me a rod that had a button on it
that reeled it in.
And it was just like, here, let me hook this giant fish
and then you press this button and then we'll put you
in the paper with a 55 pound amberjack.
I mean, listen, I've been talking about that for years.
And then you get to eat it.
You get to eat the thing.
That's like you're gonna summit Everest
but then you get to the bottom and they say,
close your eyes, they hitch it over the head
with a, conk you down and then
I'm just saying it's different.
You'll catch something.
They give you smelling salts at the top.
You'll catch something.
Mounted Everest.
I don't think we should fish either.
I'm just letting you know,
it's not as bad as you think it would be.
And you get to eat stuff that you catch,
which would be kind of fun.
That would be kind of fun.
But what about the cattle drive?
You get to eat the burgers.
Probably not, you have to let it age.
Hey, Rhett and Link, I just finished watching drive you get to eat the burgers probably not you have to let it age hey um rent link um i just
finished watching your adventures podcast the one you just came out with looking for places to go
for your next adventure yeah i think that my hometown bentonville arkansas is easily one of
the best options for your thrills we have mountain biking and we call ourselves the mountain biking capital of the
world you do we host my mountain biking stuff there all the time and it's not just mountain
biking it's one wheeling too so there's plenty of thrills downtown pinville is one of the coolest
kind of environments i've ever seen in a town i mean there's places to drink there's places to
eat some of the best food i've ever had is in that town.
There's art, we're the home of Walmart. So all that money just gets funneled into the town.
So you're welcome.
If you don't come, then I'll be extremely upset.
Thank you, love you guys, bye.
We don't wanna upset you,
but all of our friends don't mountain bike.
Yeah, okay, you're 100% true, right about that.
And I don't really mountain bike anymore.
I know about Bentonville.
That's cool.
Because of our friends Lance and Lacey.
Right.
Who opened up the hotel not too far from there,
the Bearden Lady.
And Lance has told me the same thing.
He was like, the Walmart family, the Walton family,
they put all this money into Bentonville.
And so there's, I think it's like legitimately
the best mountain biking in America.
There's also UTVs, like the side-by-sides,
and they go like really deep into the woods.
There's just a lot, and there's caves, there's caving.
Oh, cavey.
And also Bentonville is supposed to be
like a really cool place because of that,
because of all the money that's gone into the town.
So there's just like, it's like a cool town.
I mean, they've been trying to sell us
on that location for a while,
which we'll end up going there.
I just don't know if it's gonna be for this trip,
but it is a good, pretty central location.
Be a little bit high in the late summer.
Yeah, it could be.
But you're right, I don't think
the mountain biking thing is something that,
the whole group's not gonna do that.
I might need to think about that with other people.
Because obviously, this is like-
I'm gonna do all of this.
Mountain biking is like your thing
and everybody else would just kind of be like,
well, we can ride bikes.
Yeah.
It's a little bit different.
You don't think of Benville,
but I mean, he did sell it pretty well, you know,
and you got some corroboration from Lance and Lacey.
Lots of people talking about how it's like the next Austin.
I think about it.
Another place, VELV71 tweeted,
Hocking Hills, Ohio.
Hocking Hills, Ohio. Hocking Hills, Ohio.
Cabins, hotels, zip lining, hiking, ax throwing,
adventure, beautiful scenery, waterfalls, caves.
Caves keep coming up for us.
I think we might need to be caving.
Hot tubs, cool town, good food.
Check, check, check, check, check.
Well, let's-
But we're gonna, okay,
why don't you say the thing about,
yeah, but when you get out of the cave.
You're in Ohio.
You're in Ohio.
Hey, I love Ohio.
Yeah, prove it wrong.
Best crowds we've ever had for anything mythical
while we're traveling.
We love the people of Ohio.
I will just say that ax throwing,
I just don't think you can put that on your list.
You can't.
Because that's everywhere now. Yeah. Yep. You know what I mean? Like that's can put that on your list. You can't. Because that's everywhere now.
Yeah.
Yep.
You know what I mean?
Like that's not something that your town offers.
That's just something that bars offer now.
But I mean, a little bit of like rappelling,
that would be kind of fun.
We got...
Rock challenges, squeeze, cramble, crawl, have fun.
I'm trying to look for like caving,
but they don't put it on.
Huh.
I mean, people like the zip line,
but every picture on the Hockinghills.com website
is children.
And we do not like those.
Yeah, we don't wanna see any kids.
We don't wanna see any children.
There's too many children having fun.
It's like, we need to do things
that you can't be a child to do.
Right, right.
Even the repelling is just some dumb ass little
11 year old boy grinning from ear to ear
like a possum eating shit.
Yeah.
I don't want to be with that kid on the side of a rock.
Don't wanna hear his voice.
Don't wanna hear what he's interested in.
Where's the adult Hocking Hills doctor?
There they are, there they are, go away.
Those are college students.
They're wearing hoodies.
College students are fine.
College students are okay.
You wanna rank people by age?
Okay, so kids are the worst.
Old people are the second worst.
College students the third worst.
If it was a better time of year,
I would say we need to go to Moab
because then you can go from Moab,
you could do some off-roading,
we can go to Arches and canyon lands.
I really want to go out. Too hot though.
I want to go out, it's too hot.
Too hot this time. Too hot.
That's why I'm back in.
So caves are always cool, no matter what time of year it is.
Like 58 degrees or something like that.
What about Montana getting there?
This is a double flight situation.
I feel like I've got PTSD on behalf of Tim
and how hard it was for him to get to and from.
Well, he's gotta do better next time.
What is he gonna do, take a chopper?

Hi, I just finished listening to your episode on your guy's trip with your college buddies and asked for recommendations of where to go next. And I've got to tell you, I live in Montana
and there's a town here called Whitefish, Montana. And I think it'd be the perfect place for you guys to come
because we've got a little bit of everything.
You've got whitewater rafting, ATVing, horseback riding.
You've got lakes and rivers.
You can do guided fishing tours, mountain biking,
pretty much all the great outdoor sports you could ask for,
as well as Glacier National Park, which is just breathtakingly amazing.
And on top of all that,
you also have some really nice luxury hotels
and good food and culture and live music.
It's an awesome place.
I live here, and it's like being on vacation every day.
I think you guys would love it.
Come out and see us in Montana.
I think it would be an awesome trip for you guys. That think you guys would love it. Come out and see us in Montana.
I think it would be an awesome trip for you guys.
Woo, okay, okay. That's all I wanted to say.
Look, can I say something?
Whitefish Lake at Whitefish.
Yeah, say it, man.
What if, and this is just a what if.
Maybe fate can help us decide a little bit.
Like what if there's a band that we all wanna see?
You think that's cool?
Just playing at like a really cool venue
in one of these places.
That, I mean, because like the last time we went to Colorado,
not this year, but last year,
we went to Red Rocks so we could see it.
You know, you could, during the day it's just like a park.
And we were talking about how cool it would be to see a band
and the Avett brothers were playing there
a few weeks ahead.
But that would be a nice little thing
because everyone in the group really likes music.
If we found a band that we really liked
that was playing at a really cool venue,
that could be a way to kind of switch it up a little bit.
I'm just saying that it's better than fishing, am I right?
I mean, I don't, the thing I like about Whitefish, Montana
is that it gets you up there to Glacier.
I don't think I would ever have an occasion
to get to Glacier National Park otherwise.
I mean, it looks absolutely amazing.
It's near Missoula, home of Hank Green.
Yeah.
I don't know, maybe this is,
maybe we need to dig deeper into this place.
Montana is bringing a lot, you know?
You wake up, you're in Montana.
That's one thing to think about.
Right, and I bet there's caves
that when you come out of them,
You're in Montana.
You're still in Montana.
The weather would be perfect.
Still a pretty good central location.
Yeah.
Jay Hammerhand tweeted, I know it's not that far,
but come on up to Portland, Oregon.
You got windsurfing on the Columbia.
This is close to Greg, so he could like grease his skids.
Sturgeon fishing, people like to talk about fishing.
Well do you know how big a sturgeon can get?
No.
Okay, new tab, I gotta show you.
We're gonna take a little break.
I know I keep pushing fishing, but just put big sturgeon.
Just, no, big sturgeon.
What about sturgeon big?
It'll get you there, images.
Good gosh, this is, that's bigger than a dolphin.
Hell yeah, it's bigger than a dolphin.
Oh my gosh, what the?
You don't know about this, man?
What the heck?
I look up pictures of sturgeon every couple of weeks.
You know.
And so these people are just laying in the water with.
Yeah, you catch it.
There's like four or five people standing there
and like strung out in the water next to a sturgeon
that's like longer than all of them.
And do you know what sturgeon gives?
Love?
Caviar.
Ew, I don't wanna eat no caviar.
I'm just saying. Black eggs.
I'm just, man, we can't let your particular taste
dictate too many things.
Like if you're like saying we can't have the caviar
that we squeeze out of the sturgeon.
You can have it all.
You can have it all.
Plus hiking in the gorge, skydiving,
surfing, kite surfing.
And then Portland itself is pretty cool.
What about a city adventure?
That's what he's kinda saying.
Portland is a great, great town.
I liked it when I was there.
But we were only there for like two days.
Okay, well what do you think about
the kite surfing thing?
That feels hard.
I've always wanted, I really wanted to do that.
We can also just do that here.
Like if we really, really wanted to get into that,
we could just like, I'm sure that you go to Ventura
or whatever or go to like Long Beach
and there's probably some guy that like has a van full
of this stuff and like tells you how to do it, you know?
Right, yeah.
And I think like caving is a new type of adventure
that we would start to feel like,
oh, we're really doing something.
Little bit nervous.
But we can, but you can do it.
It's not like you've got to be.
You don't have to practice.
She-Hulk or something.
Yeah, you don't have to practice.
Thanks for that.
Thanks for saying She-Hulk.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Instead of just Hulk.
Yeah, I think caving seems to be really calling us.
You know what I'm saying?
What about horseback caving?
Can you ride a horse into a cave?
I mean, probably Mammoth Cave.
Look up that.
Horseback caving.
It's a special kind of horse, probably. Caving and horseback riding tour in Iceland. It's a special kind of horse probably.
Caving and horseback riding tour in Iceland.
It's a cave horse.
That's too far.
On this horseback ride, we explored a cave.
Mammoth Cave Horse Camp, Kentucky.
There you go.
The Black Lava Tour, Horses in Caving.
We're combining our two things here.
Where is this?
No, they're not inside.
Oh, this is Reykjavik.
This is in Norway, wherever, oh, it's in Iceland.
Iceland.
Still in Iceland.
Iceland would be awesome.
We're not going to Iceland for a three-day weekend. But I desperately want to go're not going to Iceland for a three day weekend.
But I desperately want to go.
We're going to Iceland on a three day weekend?
I do wanna go.
Combining Icelandic horse riding
and an amazing lava caving tour.
So we gotta stay in the, I need to add U.S. to this.
Horseback caving.
Continental.
U.S. Continental. US.
Lower 48.
Horseback riding mammoth cave.
You can't ride into the cave though.
You could ride around the cave.
Can you ride horses at mammoth cave?
Horses get spooked inside a cave.
You don't know, but yeah.
Oh, Ohio horseback tour to 21 Horses Cave in Hocking Hills.
We're back in Hocking Hills.
I got 21 horses in there.
I mean, apparently the journey to 21 Horses Cave
begins at the parking area.
Okay, good start.
Across the street from, why is this what I'm reading?
I don't know how to get there,
that's mission number one.
Now you're riding a horse through the woods
and then you're going under some rocks
but then when you get to the cave,
I don't see the horses going in.
Wow, what's that?
That's an ad for-
Toenail fungus.
Toenail fungus. Toenail fungus.
You have something you need to tell us about?
I mean, we keep getting called back to Hocking Hills too.
Well, we've been called twice.
So that's something, because I don't think there's,
I mean, anywhere else,
is there anything else that's calling us
besides caving, horseback riding?
Montana.
I think Montana in general is calling pretty hard.
Because it's, again, it's got the-
Montana, cave, horseback.
The tourism infrastructure.
You know what I mean?
Like they know what to do with the people from out of town
because everybody's from out of town.
Right.
I mean the locals probably hate it.
And that's their fault for living in a beautiful state.
Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park.
No mention of horses.
I don't think riding a horse into a cave
should be a prerequisite.
Okay, all right, that's fair enough.
I think that might be too high of a bar.
Toto Tichario said Leavenworth, Washington.
That's really far there too.
It's a really beautiful Bavarian themed town
with great food and architecture.
Architecture?
Yeah.
We don't give a shit about architecture.
You're taking a little too far.
Jeff X Poo, the edge walk at the CN Tower in Toronto.
What is that?
Well, I googled it.
Edge?
Well let's guess what it is.
Is it just walking very close to the edge of a building?
Is that the tower from Drake's album Views?
Toronto's a long way on the east side there.
Edge walk. Can you ride a horse on the east side there. Edgewalk.
Can you ride a horse on the edgewalk?
CN Tower.
Edgewalk CN Tower accident.
Let's not add accident.
Brave the edgewalk.
Oh, it's just like.
Oh yeah, it's on that tower from, yeah.
So you go all the way to the top.
Yeah, I'm not doing that.
You're not doing that?
And then you lean over.
Yeah, I'm really good at this.
You're strapped in, good God, that's high.
Oh God, I can't even watch this.
You are way up there.
Look at that guy, he needs to shut his mouth.
There are no horses though.
It'd be tough to get a horse up there.
So you just, you put your toes over the edge
and you lean forward knowing that you're strapped in,
but you don't jump.
It's like bungee, no jump.
No, no, no, no, no.
I mean, I would do it.
I'd do it for the thrills.
They got the picture of that guy,
he's just in such awe that his mouth is gaping open,
but the more I look at him,
it just looks like he's yawning up there.
He's bored.
Edge, watch, it keeps repeating.
It's gonna come around to him again.
Tell me you didn't look sleepy.
Like he's yawning.
He's yawning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he is actually yawning.
I think he was yawning.
They thought he was excited, but he was bored.
So there you go, that's done for.
I'm not going all the way to the other side of Canada
just to hang my toes off the edge of a tower.
Now, but I'm surprised that when we were in Sydney
that you did the Sydney Harbor Bridge walk.
Well, I wasn't hanging off the side of it like that.
It was scary and it was awesome.
Well, I was definitely not comfortable, but I was-
Yeah, Jenna, you were up there with us, right?
I was the one that convinced you to do it.
Yeah, I was having a great time.
So I was very happy, because I got to come along.
I'm not-
Christy didn't go up there.
She didn't, no.
I'm not scared if I'm,
if I feel really secure, like,
I would not feel really secure with just a thing on my back
like I'm hanging out over the edge.
You're hanging out a little bit.
So what about bungee jumping?
Would you ever do it?
I don't think I would.
Man, that would be so hard.
It doesn't last long enough.
Hang gliding. People dive. I might do think I would. Man, that would be so hard. It doesn't last long enough. Hang gliding.
People die.
I might do paragliding.
Like a tandem seat paragliding.
You're seated, you're not just hanging on.
You mean like being hauled behind a boat?
No, no, no.
I'm talking about.
Jumping off of something.
You're in a glider.
It's like a hang glider, but you have a seat.
That's dangerous stuff, man.
Yeah, it is pretty dangerous.
That's some real dangerous stuff.
I love the idea of it, but it's just very dangerous.
Hmm.
This is all we got.
Well, some people, somebody tweeted at me
that skydiving would be bad for my back.
I don't think I'll, I think I will live my life
without doing that, I'm fine with it.
Cause Shepard really wants to do it.
They said that like hitting the ground
would be bad for your back.
If you hit, if you, you gotta open a parachute.
Yeah, I've done it before.
I'm not talking about, you recommend?
I recommend.
Tandem?
Yeah, you go tandem the first time for sure.
Isn't it over before you know it?
Yeah, it's over pretty quick.
Like the falling part is over pretty quickly.
But then you get to just kind of parachute around
and sometimes they let me control the little things.
So I get to mess around with like turning the parachute parachute around and sometimes they let me control the little things so we got to,
I got to mess around with like turning the parachute
a little bit which was fun but.
It didn't hurt my back at all when we landed.
Maybe it's just, but you seem to be taking issue, Link,
with the brevity of this.
Yeah, I think that is a factor.
But you enjoy sex with your wife.
Okay. Do you not?
I understand why your eyebrow was doing that sly crinkle.
As you started trying to.
But hold on, but honestly,
if we are gonna do a collection of things,
one afternoon of skydiving, it's fine.
With a quick reset. It's thrilling. I mean, maybe a day. I can do it again skydiving, it's fine. With a quick reset. Is thrilling.
I mean, maybe a day.
I can do it again.
I can do it again.
Like if I was gonna get.
Are you talking about skydiving still?
I'm talking about sex.
Oh.
But if skydiving is something.
How long of a reset do you need?
Why did, I mean, the refractory period.
Increases it with age.
It's not really about that as much as it's like,
when's the next time we want to
is really the refractory period.
Okay, all right.
But yeah, we could do it again,
and then the next day we could do it again.
And if I wanted to get into skydiving as a thing,
yes, that makes sense.
Like I now enjoy the thrill of jumping out of a plane,
the free fall, I get good at it, I can do it on my own.
Well that takes a lot of jumps.
Yes, but I think that's the only,
that's when it starts to be something
that I'd be interested in,
where it's something you can enjoy.
Doing it once to me feels more like,
I just want, I wanna say I did it
and I want to experience it,
but then it was just like, it's like an amusement park ride.
I'm not gonna travel somewhere and build it up
as like this is the thing I'm doing.
It's like, hey, you wanna go skydiving this weekend?
Sure, I might do that.
I still won't, but I might.
Noted, noted, because I went in Santa Barbara, it's not far.
Yeah, I mean, it's not something you build a trip.
I could find a Groupon.
Well, I'm just saying it might be something
you add into an otherwise well-planned trip
that doesn't include fishing.
I mean, I'd rather do it than bungee jumping.
I think I would too.
Have you bungeed?
I have, yes.
There's a close place, the Bridge to Nowhere.
It's a- Yes.
Up the tube?
Yeah, it's a five mile hike up to the bridge
and you can bungee off of the bridge.
And you did that?
Yes, yes I did.
Did you hike up there knowing you were gonna do it or?
Yes, yeah.
Yeah, it's just not like a,
I was like, I was thinking about, yeah, bungee.
What did it, what?
Bungee is really fun.
I got to jump twice.
So the first time I jumped facing forward
and then the second time I jumped facing backwards.
So like falling backwards.
Was it hard to, at that last second,
actually make the choice to leap?
No.
It would be very hard for me.
It may be impossible.
There's a lot of people watching.
So I was also one of those people where I was just like,
I'm not gonna hesitate.
I'm gonna get up there and they're gonna do three, two,
and I'm gonna just do it.
Just step off the ledge.
If I was by myself, I wouldn't do it.
If people are watching, I'm definitely gonna do it.
Like those TikTok videos where it's like,
Crumble.
That version of like jumping off something
and then at the negative last second,
like they jump and then decide they didn't want to jump
and somehow turn around and like grab on somehow
and then the employees like-
Oh gosh, no.
Ripping their hands off of the thing
and like tossing them out.
I'm not doing that.
That's so unsafe.
You seen those on TikTok?
Yeah, yeah.
That's so unsafe.
It is a totally different sensation bungee jumping falling
than skydiving falling.
Very different feeling of falling.
The thing that I get concerned about is the head rush.
Like right there at the end when it's like,
when you're about to boing up, like.
Were you afraid of a headache?
What about that, yeah.
Yeah, of course.
That's.
The thing he's afraid of is the headache
that will come from it.
Yeah, I mean, doesn't, don't you get a big head rush?
I mean, yes, but it's not bad.
Then you just kind of swing for a bit. Do you have to close your eyes
so they don't pop out of your head?
No, no.
I think I just close my eyes
from the feeling of it pulling you back, you know,
and you're just like, kind of.
Can we combine fishing with it?
Yeah, it's like, I mean, it's usually over water.
Because if you get, if you-
Just tying your line.
No, if they, I think you hand grab a catfish.
Oh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you get the weight right.
So this is bungee noodling.
Yeah, yeah.
Grab a catfish and you get it for free.
Or sturgeon, how about that?
You grab a sturgeon, get a little caviar out.
Get yourself a little trout. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
I want the longer adventure.
The horseback riding, okay, so the things that spoke to me
in this trips through these things.
Montana. The cowboy.
The cowboy thing seems like it would be fun.
We really enjoy the UTVing, ATVing, UTVing.
I think we would potentially do that again.
I'm not completely opposed to the Vegas thing
because it would be like basically curating
a bunch of really ridiculous things that we would do.
But it doesn't feel.
But it doesn't feel like adventure of wilderness.
It feels like a totally fake civilization
sprouted up in the desert with all this water
from other places and then a bunch of people
just decided to make frivolous activities
for a bunch of people to do, which has a different vibe.
Not to mention that it's hot as balls.
Yeah, that's true, that's true, especially that time.
At that time of year, so.
Okay, so let's rule that out.
I don't know, right now, it's Montana in my mind.
But in caves, don't forget about caves.
Oh yeah, yeah, caves, horses.
Cabins, luxury.
Good food.
Yeah.
And then maybe, I don't know, I'm just saying,
it depends, let's not plan our trip around it,
but I'm saying that whenever we plan,
we're gonna plan the trip based on where everybody
wants to go and when everybody can go.
But if we find out.
And now we don't have to talk to our friends,
they can just listen to this.
Yeah.
And then tell us what they think.
But if we find that there's gonna be a band
that we all like that's playing in a place,
we should see it.
I mean, the other guys talked about,
they really wanted live music.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea.
Multiple times.
And we did, in fact, we enjoyed some live music
at the hot tub, at the hot springs.
Yeah. I mean, well,
there was live music at the hot springs.
Right.
Hashtag Ear Biscuits let us know.
You got a rec, right?
I do.
Also. Speaking of music.
Leave a voicemail though.
1-888-
EarPod1.
You got a music rec?
I do have a music rec,
and I've told you that I was gonna do this.
Oh yeah.
So.
I'm actually gonna add this
because I keep forgetting to add him.
A country music guy who's been doing his thing for a while
but he's been working with our friend Shooter Jennings,
a Grammy award winning producer.
Logan Ledger is his name.
And Logan has got this throwback vibe,
this incredible voice, and I like
everything that he's done, but the stuff he's doing with Shooter right now, which,
I don't know, by the time this comes out, maybe the whole album will be out. I
don't know exactly when the album drops. But the song that, like, turned me on to
Logan was Where Will I Go? And I played it for you guys on the trip. It's perfect
to make this a rec because I played it for you guys on the trip. It's perfect to make this a rec
because I played it for you around the fire
and everybody was just like, this is incredible.
And we were talking to Shooter,
I was telling Shooter how much I enjoyed
this stuff that he's making with Logan.
And you know, I'm looking on here
and it's like people don't know about him.
You know, not enough people know about
this incredible music that he's making so,
this thing does not have nearly as many listens
as it should so let's change that.
Where will I go?
Where will I go?
Logan Ledger and just let that be your introduction
into the rabbit hole that is his music
and looking forward to the new album
which may be out by the time this comes out.
I don't know the date but follow him and you'll find out.
There goes my mind.
It's got three songs on it at this point.
Cool.
I just added it to my favorites
because I kept forgetting.
All right, we'll speak at you next week.
Thank you for listening in on us playing in a trip.
You're invited.
Emotionally.
Yes.
Hey, guys.
This is Jared.
I just finished listening to the episode with the fox crates
and Brett's rack at the end with the bat separator.
Another really cool application that you can use it for
because it's also really good to make gravy
do pretty much the same thing like you did with separating and pouring it back over the beef but
then you take the fat out of it and then make the gravy and it makes more gravy uh thanks guys
that's all i wanted to say have a good one
