6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: got something to shamelessly plug. I wanted to just get

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: it over with. I feel really bad about this. I

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,600

00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: So um, everybody, Chuck and I just made and Jerry

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: Jerry was a huge part of it, agreed, our producer, Jerry.

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: It would have just been steaming had Jerry not been

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: involved in this, right, agreed. Chuck and I just recorded

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: our first spoken word album. Right. We have joined the

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: likes of Jack Kerouac and Barack Obama except our spoken

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: word albums on the economy economics? Right, Chuck, We took

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: the path less traveled, did something that's kind of obscure

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: and people you know are talking about much of these days. Um,

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: And what's it called, Chuck? It is called the Stuff

Speaker 1: this will allow us to keep doing what we do. Yeah.

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: So that's have we reached the end of the shameless plug.

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: So if you want to go buy it, that would

31
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: be totally fine with us. That would be great. Okay,

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: So that now we've reached them the same as yes,

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: and it's time to get into your shameless segue. Yeah,

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: which is this? Have you ever mountain climbed? I know

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: you've repelled, but where you ever on a mountain to

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: repel mine was one must climb? Now, I've never actually

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: rock climbed, but I've done plenty of hiking in the mountains,

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: but not rock face climbing. That's was there snow in

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: any of these mountains? Were you up so high that

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: there's like perennial snow. Really yeah, where like Colorado stuff

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: like that. Huh wow, that's pretty impressive. That was shocking.

42
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: I see you like wearing your little shorts and hiking

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: boots with like thick socks kind of pushed down. Um,

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: so far, so good. Yeah, and just kind of hiking

45
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: along what most people would call like a hill or

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: something like that. Certainly not like where there's like kenne

47
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: Saw Mountain kind of yeah, which is I can't say

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: anything because it's way out of my league. Kenna Saw

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: Mountain is let alone the Rockies. I mean, trust me, dude,

50
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: I'm not You won't think I'm a sharpa like scaling

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: the mount Everest or anything like that. Yeah, And I

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: think at this point I can tell you left untoward

53
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: behind and sharpa is now my favorite word right now. Okay,

54
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: I love that word. It just rolls off the tongue.

55
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: You're cute little guys. Yeah, agreed, Um, okay, So you

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: have done some mountain climbing, so so you can speak

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: to what we're going to talk about with reasonable authority.

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: I can defer to you when I get confused, inevitably, So, Chuck,

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: have you ever read into thin air? I have not,

60
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: but I did read Into the Wild, which is John

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: hour That his name, yeah, John crack Our. He is

62
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: a journalist for Outside magazine, and he knows how to

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: take an outdoor UM event and turn it into a

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: good book. Into the Wild is a great example. Chris McCandless,

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: who actually went to school down the road at Emery

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: and decided that he was going to go to Alaska

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: and basically just didn't quite do it right. Yeah, died

68
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: after three months of exposure the elements. I think there's

69
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: some varying theories on why I died, but that's not

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: what this is about. Okay, Well, no, we're thin Air.

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Into thin Air is much much more pertinent to this

72
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: topic than I think. Okay, So, Um, that's actually about

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: an an expedition on Mount Everest, um and that took

74
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: place in May. He was actually on this one, right, Yes,

75
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: he was, UM, which is one of the reasons the

76
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: book is so incredible. UM. And it was a complete

77
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: cluster of a um of an expedition. Eight people died,

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: accounting for um more than half of the deaths on

79
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: Everest that year. It's one expedition. UM. There was a

80
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: rogue storm that whipped up and it killed some people

81
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: and others were lost and then they died, but then

82
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: other people went after them to try to rescue him,

83
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: and then they died. And it was just more like

84
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: a let's get out of here whenever we can. You

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: basically just have to write everybody off right, um. And

86
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: and like, like I said, it's a very very good book. Um.

87
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: But one of the things that I took from it

88
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: is that number one, Mount Everest is a total bear

89
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: as far as mountains go, completely inhospitable for humans. Yeah,

90
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: you want to talk about you want to talk a

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: little bit about Everest. Yeah, I guess we should get it.

92
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: Just a couple of stats out of the way. Everyone

93
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: knows just the tallest peak in the world. They call

94
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: it the roof top of the world they do, and

95
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: good reason. Quick aside, um, there is a Discovery micro

96
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: site on Everest and it has a three hundred and

97
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: sixty degree panoramic view. You shall remember you show me

98
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: that like my first week here. It's amazing. It was unbelievable.

99
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: And I said to myself, that is awesome. And this

100
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: Josh dude has it going on. That's all it takes.

101
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: That's how I've collected all of my friends. That's how

102
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: the magic starts. You send him the Everest photo. Yeah,

103
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: I just I pay it out a little bit at

104
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: a time. Start with the Everest photo. It's really cool.

105
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: You're sitting up at night. You actually feel like you're

106
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: there when you look at this panoramic picture, and so

107
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: much so that I don't feel like I need to climate.

108
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: You can almost hear the wind whipping. Yeah, so okay,

109
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: So give me some more steps. The tallest peak in

110
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: the world, share which is what's the peak? How? How

111
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: it tall? Is it thousand thirty five ft which is

112
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: eight thousand, eight hundred and fifty meters for our friends

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: who don't live in the US or Liberia or Burma? Correct?

114
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: Very well done, uh little shout out insider, shout out

115
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: to our SNAr mail or. She wrote in with that, um,

116
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: and the mountain itself shares a border with Nepal and Tibet,

117
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: but the actual peak is in Nepal, so India is

118
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: not involved, not as far as I know. Um, why

119
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: did you say that you're trying to throw me off

120
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: my game? Yeah, don't worry about it. Checking No one

121
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: can throw you after game, right, not even me? Josh

122
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: messes with me sometimes people, but it usually gets cut out.

123
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I have a feeling this will make it in so

124
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: check out. Have a question for you, Shoot, what is

125
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: the worst season to go on Everest? Well, really anything

126
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: outside of um May in June May to June. Yeah,

127
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: that's when you want to climb Everest. June is the

128
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: time you want to go. Yes, oh well, okay, got so, Josh.

129
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: An average day, if you want to talk weather, an

130
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: average day in May of two thousand and eight was

131
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: minus seventeen degrease fahrenheit, which is mine degrees celsius true

132
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: and wins of fifty one eighty one KOs right, very good.

133
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: So that's during the most hospitable time in the year,

134
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: barring no like freak storms and unusual activity. Other times

135
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: of the year, the jet stream passes directly by the summit,

136
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: which is in made of June, the jet stream does

137
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: not do that, which is why that's the time to go.

138
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: And you can get winds up to like, you know,

139
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty miles an hour and miles an hour,

140
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: which would be a hundred and eighty nine kilometers an

141
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: hour and minus a hundred degrees fahrenheit. So which is

142
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: minus seventy three degrees celsius. Right, so you cannot imagine.

143
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: Have you ever been up in then a tall, tall building?

144
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: Um get in the wintertime? No outside, Okay, I climb

145
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: the Empire. There's no mountain climbing, certainly, no Colorado hiking,

146
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: no tall buildings in the wintertime. But you've been to Malta.

147
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: Um I just a few years ago, Emily and I

148
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: were at the top of the Empire State Building around

149
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: Christmas time and dude, that's the Empire State Building and

150
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna die the wind in the cold,

151
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: and that's the Empire stabling. So imagine Mount Everest at

152
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine feet Well, were you properly outfitted on the

153
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: roof of the Empire stuff? Yeah, you established a base

154
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: camp by then, yeah, on the on the ground floor

155
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: comes out. I was like, what are you doing? Right? Yeah? Okay, So, so, Chuck,

156
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: I think we got it down. Mount Everest is not

157
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: the place to be, especially with your Empire state allegory.

158
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: That's pretty good, thanks, okay, so um and we've also

159
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: established that people die on Everest. How many was there?

160
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: Eighty nine? So that's the that's the current count, and

161
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: you said that two thousand people have died or have

162
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: have successfully summitted Everest. Right, that was as of a

163
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: few years ago. That was the count, And the BBC

164
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: told me, well, you so somewhere between there for every stat,

165
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: there's another stat when it comes to stuff like this

166
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: and equal enough isite stant like some guy might have

167
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: snuck up to Everest and not officially logged it with

168
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: the BBC. You know. Well, the problem is is that, um,

169
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: if you die on Everest, apparently you stay on Everest

170
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: pretty much. Yeah, which is what your article is about, right, Yeah,

171
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: it's much. Uh, it's a suicide mission to try and

172
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: bring a body down from the death zone. And the

173
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: death zone is above twenty six feet. That's like the

174
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: final area, above the final base camp where you go

175
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: to reach the summit, and that's where most people die.

176
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: And not everybody who's died on Everest is still there,

177
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: but a significant portion is, like of the nine, there's

178
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: one twenty. And also we should probably say before you

179
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: sharpen your pencils and email us, we're working off of

180
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: what like two thousand four stats right here, So at

181
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: least several people have died since then. I think I

182
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: know at least one guy died in two thousand six

183
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: on everest Um. The thing is is you can't even

184
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: bring your oxygen canister down. Basically, a dead person and

185
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: an oxygen cancer not the same thing. But it kind

186
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: of puts it in perspective like you are going up

187
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: there and getting back down and you're lucky to escape

188
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: with your life, basically exactly. And from what I what

189
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: I've read and had been described to me, to try

190
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: and bring a body down is as suicide mission for

191
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: everyone involved. So it's like, you can't save this person

192
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: because you put your entire crew at risk, So you

193
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: just have to march on um. Now that's kind of

194
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: the predominant view of people who who climb everest Um.

195
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: But it seems like it's starting to change, like technology

196
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: is advancing enough, and people's gear and and oxygen equipment

197
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: it's getting good enough so that that that sentiment is

198
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: almost um being outlived. It's already been outlived obviously. Sir

199
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Edmond Hillary is the guy who summited everest for the

200
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: first time. With their debates about that too, did they

201
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: think nor Gay beat him? Uh? Well, George Lee Mallory

202
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: actually is an other climber and there's there's some speculation

203
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: as to who actually got there first, because Mallory was

204
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: found dead and actually in the article there's a picture

205
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: of his i know, petrified, frozen, headless body. It is

206
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: a cool picture. Yeah, yeah, his head is just pretty

207
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: much withered away. The weird thing is is like if

208
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: you look at his left hand, it's totally intact, Like

209
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: it looks like he's just laying there if you just

210
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: look at his arm. But where did they find him?

211
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean, did they find him at the summit or

212
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: they think he made it to the summit and started

213
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: to climb down and died maybe exactly. I think that's

214
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: the speculation. They did not find they found beneath the summit,

215
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: And there's speculation as to whether what you said, whether

216
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: he made it all the way down and died on

217
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: the way back, or whether he never made it all

218
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: the way up and he would have been before Hillary.

219
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: So that's that's a pretty big deal. Yeah. He was

220
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: in the twenties, right, Yeah, And it looks like he

221
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: was running around in like a burlap sack. I think

222
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: it's not good climbing. It weathered some over the years. Well.

223
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Either way, the first person to be to document their

224
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: place at the top of Mount Everest is Sir Edmund

225
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: Hillary and he did it with the nepolie serpa tending

226
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: nor Gay, who's just got the best name. Yeah, he's

227
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: got Sherpa right there. And then Tensing in nor Gay.

228
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: I love that guy's name. That's that's your fake name

229
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: when you check in the hotels, isn't it. Why did

230
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: you do that? I tell you things in confidence. Thank you,

231
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: Chuck to change my name. This brings up a point though,

232
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: that he's he's obviously the most well known serpa ever.

233
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of any other Sherpa? I have,

234
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: but I never retained their names, like Tensing nor Gay. Well,

235
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: they get a raw deal, as my point, Like you

236
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: always see the guy, you know, the white dude and

237
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: the jam Sport North face gear on top of Everest,

238
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: and you don't see like there's like two on the

239
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: outside of the frame. It's their third trip up that week.

240
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: You know, they're like big deal. Did you ever see

241
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: the episode of The Simpsons where Homer climbs Mound Springfield

242
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: and the two Sharps are like doing cartwheels on the

243
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: way down and dragging him up while he sleeps at night. Yeah, yeah,

244
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: I imagine that that's probably. I think it's a thankless job,

245
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. I think of the world, they

246
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: need to form a union or something. So how did

247
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: we get on Hillary? Well, you said that he was

248
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: the first man. Okay, well, I know, I know what

249
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: I was going to say. He lived until two thou eight,

250
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: so he lived to see a lot of people follow

251
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: in his footsteps and die and um. In two thousand

252
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: and six, this guy named John Sharp. I believe he

253
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: died on the mountain. I think of exposure maybe, and

254
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: as many as forty climbers passed right past him and

255
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: not like him and didn't see him like past him,

256
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: noted he was dead, dying, dying, and just kept going

257
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: because that that mentality is still around, like hey, it's

258
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: too dangerous, right. The thing that so Hillary came out

259
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: and publicly criticized the people who didn't even do anything

260
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: make an attempt um. And then the thing that really

261
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of drove that criticism home was the following year,

262
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: a Nepalese woman was successfully rescued by an American climber,

263
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: very experienced American climber, but she was in virtually the

264
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: same spot under virtually the same conditionings, and he got

265
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: her out. But forty people walk past this guy just

266
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: under the assumption that, And I can imagine it's drilled

267
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: into your head like if you die or you're dying,

268
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: we're going to leave you here. But I don't think

269
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: that's necessarily I don't think that necessarily has to be

270
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: the case anymore as that that American guide proved by

271
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: saving the Nepalese woman. Right, And this is this is

272
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: me speculating here, but I bet a certain amount of

273
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: this too, in addition to having that drilled in your head,

274
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: is it's so much effort and a lot of money

275
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: to go on one of these expeditions and not you know,

276
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: some people climb it more than once, but a lot

277
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: of people this is there there one shot and they

278
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: hear this, and they might see someone dying and they think,

279
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, I can't ruin my opportunity to climb Everest

280
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: and potentially die in the process to rescue the stranger

281
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: or so it's pretty sad. And I know there's a

282
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: lot of controversy. Well there was. There's definitely one guy

283
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: who has probably received the most public eye or of

284
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: anybody who's let somebody die on ever. So his name

285
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: is Ian Woodall, and he actually figures as basically the

286
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: villain in Into Thin Air. He was actually he was

287
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: on the mountain when crack Howard's expedition went pear shaped,

288
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: and um so crack Hower was. You know, these expeditions

289
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: were very close together and oftentime, like coming into the

290
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: same place at the same time, and they try to

291
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: stagger it kind of like golf, except much much deadlier.

292
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Um where so everybody's not hitting the same points at

293
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: the same time, right, Yeah, Well, what All apparently was

294
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: not down with waiting for anybody. I think his famous

295
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: quote in the book is will make it to the

296
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: top any time, we damn well please, or something like that.

297
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: So he's unwilling to coordinate with other expeditions. He um

298
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't allow another expedi and I think craik Iur was

299
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: expedition to use his radio to call for help um

300
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I don't remember. I read the book

301
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: like a decade ago, but he craik Are definitely doesn't

302
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: like this guy. And basically, if he doesn't say in

303
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: so many words, he insinuates that this people died on

304
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: the mountain because of this man's action or in action. Right. So,

305
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: and there was actually one another climb that would all

306
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: went on where he Yeah, he was with a dying woman.

307
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: He and his partner Kathy o' doubt his his wife actually,

308
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: but I think they're they're climbing partners as well. Um,

309
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: we're going on their initial ascent, right, and um came

310
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: upon a woman and what is her name? Her name

311
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: is Francis are Arcentievay. Um. Yeah, and she was laying

312
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: there dying, and so they went over and hung out

313
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: with her for an hour and tried to see what

314
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: they could do. And what happened, well, they left her

315
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: behind and she said apparently the last words she said,

316
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: we're don't leave me behind. And they were forced to

317
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: leave her behind. And I didn't know that part about

318
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: the end of thin Air that he figured into that book,

319
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: but apparently he went back in two thousand seven to

320
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: bury her body up there. He did, with a couple

321
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: of others. She had. He was racked with guilt, apparently, Yeah,

322
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: she had. Um. I read an article in the Daily

323
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: Mail about him doing that. Um, And it was right

324
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: before he was actually on the mountain. They were interviewing

325
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: a via satellite phone. Um, and apparently Fran as everybody

326
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: called her, had become kind of this um ghoulish landmark,

327
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: like I think Cathy O'Dowd put it, like you get

328
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: to Fran and turn left, because she was right there

329
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: on the trail and and you know, apparently like in

330
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: like a kind of a really horrible frozen state. And

331
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: also her husband was on the climb with her and

332
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: he died. They assumed they never found him again going

333
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: to get help. Um. So yeah, it's a horrible story.

334
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: They both left their a son behind, I believe. Um.

335
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, so so what all wanted to go barrier

336
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: and uh he ultimately ended up like lowering down, lowering

337
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: her down and dropping her down the north face instead. Yeah, um,

338
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, he's not a very well liked person among

339
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: a lot of climbing circles. I get the impression. Well,

340
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: I know there's certainly a lot of controversy around that. Um.

341
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: I know that there's also been efforts. It's a big

342
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: trash dump too, which is what's really sad, because like

343
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: you said, people will just dump their gear to make

344
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: it easier on the way down. And uh, I got

345
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: a good stat for you here. Uh, we're talking a

346
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty tons of trash each year or left

347
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: behind the mountain verse by climbers. Wait each year. I

348
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: thought that was total each year, says ABC News. Holy

349
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: and climbing teams in China. They lead expeditions now to

350
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: go up and clean some of the stuff up, and

351
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: they're trying to get some of these bodies down that

352
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: are within you know, safe reach. Because if me think

353
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: about there's a hundred and twenty bodies on Everest, the

354
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: ones that are up in what'd you call it the

355
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: death zone? Um, they're they're pretty preserved, like you can

356
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: see in that picture of George Mallory, right, Um, so

357
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: they're close to trails generally, so that it I mean

358
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: imagine that. Imagine climbing Everest knowing that your own mortality

359
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: is at risk and then having like these reminders along

360
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: the way. I felt that way at the Empire State Building.

361
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: Did you were there a lot of dead bodies on

362
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: the Empire State up the stairs? You know, every couple

363
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: of days it's an elevator. So I got you. I

364
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: really had nothing to complain about. There's no stairs in

365
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: the Empire State Building like a violation of I'm sure

366
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: there are stairs, but you don't climb them to get

367
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: to the observation deck. That's why you're still just doing

368
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: the Rockies, buddy. Yeah, so okay, Well, Chuck, UM, I

369
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: guess we've answered that question. Dead bodies, Uh, hopefully less

370
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: as they retrieve them, if they can retrieve them, and

371
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: hopefully less as time goes on, because I know that

372
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: every year that goes by a fewer and fewer people

373
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: are dying because of climbing technology, satellite phones and stuff

374
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: like that, and possibly maybe a change in mentality about

375
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: what happens to you if you get injured or you

376
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: get exhausted. It's a new bang up generation of service

377
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: as well. Yes, there's no tensing nor days though he's

378
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: he's the one last of a breed. Yeah, well again,

379
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: thank you for listening to that. Are their dead bodies

380
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: on Mount Everest? You can read more about it. It's

381
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: a Chuck article, which means it's the market quality. You

382
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: can type in dead bodies Mount Everest and it's gonna

383
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: come up in our handy search bar on how stuff

384
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: works dot com and UM while I'm sitting here thinking

385
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: about a new UM pseudonym to come up with when

386
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: I check into hotels. Um, Chuck's gonna talk about our blog. Yes,

Speaker 1: even better? There's a for Friday the March. There's a

399
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 1: blog post where Josh and I are actually have been

400
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: made into a comic strip by an artist named Greg

401
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: Williams for the Tampa Tribune in Tampa, Florida, and it's

402
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: regarding our junk Mail podcast and it's up on our

403
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: blog now and it's awesome. It's really really good. It

404
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: is very cool. Um he he found the one moment

405
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: of scatological humor out of all of our podcasts and

406
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: amplified it like a million times. It's he did a

407
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: good job. And also I never realized how round my

408
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: head is until I saw it in cartoon form, and

409
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: he clearly used a compass to draw to draw me. Um,

410
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, I have a big round head. That's good.

411
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah it looks nice. But yeah, that's up and blog

412
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: and thank you to Mr Greg Waynes. Yes we're doing that.

413
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: We feel very honored. Yes, and now and I know

414
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: what's time. It is listener mail, So chuck, the bring

415
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: has occurred, the toned down bring, as per the request

416
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: of some the listener mail chime, let's do it? Uh

417
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: this one? Um wait, wait wait, there's no high coup

418
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: in here, is there? Well, there's a brief one. Hi's

419
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: are brief? All right? I said, no more highkus. But

420
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: this one's funny because, um, originally I called high coups

421
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: that were corrections correction coups. I thought it was kind

422
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: of funny. But Jonathan M. Pesky of Redlands, California wrote,

423
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: as this one correction coup, No, such a clunky moniker.

424
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: Try high correction that is a little more clever, much

425
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: more better. So it's more bid. Getting on with the

426
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: correction coup. H I know, and uh I think last

427
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: week we mentioned the listener mail someone wrote in about

428
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: the MK Ultra video game. Yeah, the guy who's on acid.

429
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: While he wrote us, right, can we listen to a

430
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: little click at that real quick? Let's do that because

431
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: it was funny. Uh. In it, you were a weird

432
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: costumed a man with a gun for an arm, and

433
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: you went through and violently killed everything in your midst.

434
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: The world you were in was very interesting, different colors,

435
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: the walls moved, weird sounds. There was a talking dog.

436
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: It's your sidekick, so right, he wrote us in, And

437
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: I was really really disappointed to find out. We had

438
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: quite a few people email us and tell us that

439
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: it was not a game called MK Ultra. It's a

440
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: game called m d K. And while there was a

441
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: weird costume man with a gun on his hand and

442
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: a talking dog and lots of weird trippy things in

443
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: dark sense of humor, it apparently had nothing to do

444
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: with the MK Ultra. So I was disappointed to learn that.

445
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: But I want to thank rue from Atlanta Ali boy

446
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: eat has uh you think you practiced? That's not bad? Robbie, Yeah, Alejandro, Okay,

447
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: Charlie and Michael or and they all are video game guys,

448
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: I guess. And they wrote in um tell Us that

449
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: they had played m d K. It was a PC

450
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: game and it looked pretty cool. I looked at it

451
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: on YouTube. I haven't seen it yet. Yeah, it's pretty rad,

452
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: but there's no um there's no mk ultrack going on. Well,

453
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: thanks to everybody who wrote in. And if you want

454
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: to write to us about your video gaming experiences, or

455
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: just to say hi, or to suggest a new pseudonym

456
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: for me when I check into hotels, send it to

457
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:51,560
