Good do it. We asked the 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.880 questions you always want to know, but no one ever asked, 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:29.600 let's cut to it. You ain't heard am about it? 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:42.280 Then we're about to let you know. It's all that's hurt. 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.879 What up? What up? What up? Man? I got a 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:50.440 story for you. Oh so with chit chat and you know, 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.680 just trying to be a lot more not a lot more, 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.080 little bit more approachable. All right. So I was talking 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.240 to my neighbor and he he was telling me the 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.680 story and like everybody else, you know, how you live 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.839 in neighborhoods and there's people you talk to that's really 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.400 like what they're either on your in your radius of 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.240 like a cross the street or to the right of 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.319 to the left of you, but very few people really 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.760 interact with depending on the size of your neighborhood, like 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.600 somebody that's in the front interest if you live in 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:29.120 the back, or maybe just like your next door name. Yeah, 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.160 So this is like across the street. Like our kids 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.800 play together a lot, so we're you know, hey, how 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.720 are you doing, how's your week? Blah blah. So this 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.840 one of my neighbors. He is like a cyclist, like 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.839 mountain bike, has the outfits like he's he's the guy 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:50.360 like on Sunday when you maybe Saturday, or during the week, 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.440 or even in the afternoon if there's like a hot day, 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:58.360 he's outside like redoing his retooling his bike, washing the bike, golf. 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.680 You know. He about that life. He's about that life. 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:06.120 So he tells me about some folks in the neighborhood. 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.880 He goes, Man, I rode my bike. I got invited 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:14.040 to ride with some guys in the neighborhood. And I'm like, 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.040 all right, So I'm telling the story as my neighbor. 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.480 Just man, I'm riding a bike. And he said, Man, 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:25.160 we go and I don't know. But he says, riding 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:31.400 a bike with speed it's important. But also you have 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.200 to know your surroundings. So they're in a they're riding 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:40.040 a bike in the area he doesn't know. So this guy, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:45.000 he says, the neighbor in our neighborhood. He says, first 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.840 of all, I'll never ride bikes with this dude ever again. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.400 I said it was that bad. He goes, let me 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.000 tell you why it was bad. I said why. He said, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.720 they're riding. So now he's riding his bike in a 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:02.480 unfamiliar trail. So he's ride and he says, every single 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.280 time he catches up with the guy, the guy takes off. 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.919 He's like, he's trying not to be rude, but he's like, man, 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.000 this dude needs to slow down. But every time he 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.000 catches up to him, the guy takes off. So he's like, 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.400 you know, and he doesn't want to be the guy's like, hey, 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.600 slow down, you're going too fast. Because he's a new 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.880 guy and if these guys are cool, he doesn't want 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.760 to lose the opportunity to ride bikes with some new guys. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.200 Because this guy just moved. He moved to several months 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.440 ago from Detroit. There's a whole etiquette behind this. Yes, 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.800 but he said, this dude is really just he's like, 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.600 he's huffing and puffing like and guy's like you all right, 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:46.200 and he's he you know, his his breathing is no, 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.920 but he says, oh, yeah, I'm fine. But he says, Steve, 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.920 I am dying, like this dude is kicking my ass. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:54.760 And I'm like, oh, what's the problem. He said, well, 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:59.920 here's the problem. This dude. Does it really look like 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.600 the guy that should be peddling consistently as fast as 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:09.000 he's peddling. I said, I don't get it, all right. Look, 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:14.920 the dude is a little bit. His weight and his 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:20.400 speed don't compute. Okay, big big bones, bones, But he said, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.120 just pounding his ass off. And he said, bro. And 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.640 I'm I'm a pretty good writer. You know. I don't 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.400 mean to judge, but I understand why this dude it's 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.880 killing me, Like I'm killing me. So he said. This 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:43.160 goes on for the next hour, in twenty minutes, so 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.479 he's going, He's going, And then they finally finished with 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.920 the trail and he's like, man, he was like, how 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.680 are you doing? He's like, man, it was all right, 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.839 it was cool. You want to come next week? He's like, yeah, well, 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.760 you know, I gotta talk with the wife and see 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.960 how and things going. So it was three of them, 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.320 my neighboring and the other two guys, he says. The 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:13.520 friend spills the beans. The friend tells them the guy 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.440 that invited him over. This dude is riding guess what 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:26.200 an e bike? Mm hmm, he was riding electrical bike. Cold. 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:37.120 He said, if I had Superman heat seeking eyes, I 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.320 would have killed him on the spot. He said. It 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.680 was so the dude, you can still generate the pedals 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.800 even on an e bike. Bro, I guess the e 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.440 bike is doing all the work. You can do it. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.800 But he said, the dude, but here's the party, He said, 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:56.400 he was piste off about the guy who invited him 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.360 didn't even tell him. His body told on him. So 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:04.280 the whole time transmission, for the whole hour and a 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.039 half to do our fifty minutes just bike ride over 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:11.480 thirty forty miles fifty miles, this dude barely did anything. 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.280 So I said, what are you gonna do? He said, Man, 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.760 I'm not riding with that dude ever again. And that 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.040 just kind of like, it's so, why are you telling 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.640 the story. What's the whole point? The point is made. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:35.640 People are doing things and just cutting short, capping and 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.000 snitching is what I got from that story. Can you 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.080 imagine me you working out or something like in a 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.760 gym and I got I got forty five place, But 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.719 they really attend they just look like for yes, and 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.599 you keep them clean though yeah we we we max 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:57.720 and you maxing like to fifty times. But really yes, 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.120 like you got you got their weights from like say 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.520 a movie. Yeah right, they got him at like the 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.520 here in Charlotte is this little discovery place where they 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.960 look they look like they're heavy, but they're really not. Yeah. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.920 So it was just I was like, man and they 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.360 just told his story and I just thought it was 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:23.520 hilarious because really, how many times have you done something 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.600 or been with somebody and co and you comparing and 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.960 realize you're comparing the to a person who's really not 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.640 even putting it in that work. So I just thought 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.760 that was I thought it was a stop yes, you 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:43.040 leading people astrain? Yeah, yeah, and stopping for doughnuts after 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.440 the bike in the pacie didn't match up, not even close. 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.640 So who we got coming up on the Cut to 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.880 It podcast, We've got Jeff Gordon, the retired driver of 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.880 the number twenty four car.

Yeah, yeah, 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.599 that's why I don't live there. I'll be honest. I 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.320 like to drive. I do not like to sit. I 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.800 need to be moving. I just like going fishing. I'm 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.000 not going to just put a hook in the water. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.920 I want to actually catch some fish. That's why I 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.800 don't fish. You don't have the patience for it. I've 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.200 never something got to go with the right people. Someone 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.120 invited me to fish. I will not say the name, 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.080 because you hit me with the flex and say, hey, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.360 I'm going fishing and you want to join. I said, 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.160 maybe we could do something else, but I don't fish. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:57.960 I used to be yeah, you don't fish with the 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.280 right people. I used to be like that until until 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.400 I started finding the right experiences where I was like, oh, oh, 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.439 this is a whole another level fishing right here, and 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.439 I can get into So you're fishing up nor No. No, 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.880 I mean my parents have a pond that they stocked 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.600 and and I'll take my kids out there and we'll 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.520 do a little you know, kitching release. Yeah, just like 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.440 bass carp stuff like that. But I've been with with 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.600 Rick Hendrick on his his fishing boat and we actually 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:30.200 did a Trea. You didn't want to play, Yeah, those 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.400 arms are coming out of the head of that button 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:41.720 fish with that guy, it's it's the next level. So 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:47.600 a little little side side story. Uh, I purchased word 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.200 on the Lake Norman streets. I think I purchased your 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.960 old condom up in Lake Norman. It used to be 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:59.079 Queen's Landing across. Yes, I had that back in UM. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.160 It was actually people used to think I was trying 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.559 to hold out when I told my hand Frakes and 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.920 I had said, if I wanted to hold out, I'll 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.640 just go up to my lakehouse. And there was a 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:12.160 lakehouse right up there. I had a boat at the UM. No, no, no, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.800 it was. It wasn't flexed because here's why I learned 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:22.200 very quickly electricity and water equals a lot of expensive repairs. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.400 So I had I had a I had a boat, 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.079 UM and then I had had that condo that was 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.560 up there that they said it was yours when you 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.280 first came here. Yeah, that was I first I lived 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.000 out near the speedway and that didn't last very long 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.000 and boom, I was I was up to the the lake. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:45.280 So it's true. Huh man, I sold the change on 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.600 the which if our first segment is called get ice 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.280 We haven't even started. Yeah, we just we went straight 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.520 into it. But our first segment is called get ice Up. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.800 Their random icebreakers developed by some many. You don't know 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.640 what's coming up. There may be a follow up, there 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.800 may not be. It may be a about who's your 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.160 favorite me go. I have no idea, but Smithie go 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.679 ahead and give him the first one and we'll get 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:10.080 your iced up. Are you ready? Uh no? But it 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.120 is a test about yourself. So if you fail, yeah, 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:23.000 I'm myself, got it all right? So automatic or stick shift? Oh? 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.160 Is paddle an option in there? Paddle is like, what 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.640 kind of paddle are you talking about? Well, we're not 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:37.280 that first. You know, I'm a technology guy, like I 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.800 love technology, and to me, these days, what's happening in 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.840 automobiles of I mean, you could even go electric. There's 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:49.040 there's no gears at all. Um. But but okay, I 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.760 grew up racing with stick shift, so I love stick 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.200 But these days, you know, the fastest race cars on 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.800 the plane are all paddle So you know, you just 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.880 got the paddles on. I know someone I didn't know 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.400 it was a paddle. I just knew it was the 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.280 thing on the back of the sterium wheel. I don't 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:12.400 just talk about something now, so it probably leaned more 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.280 towards believe it or not. Automatic. These days, these like 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.600 ten speed automatics are faster than than than you know, 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.560 just a manual stick shift. So I'm all about speed. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:30.160 Favorite vacation spot. Oh so, I mean, I don't know 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:31.800 if this is the top of my list, but but 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.800 I gotta say that my wife playing this trip pre 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:39.599 COVID where we're going to go to someplace in in Alaska, 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.320 and I was like, man, Alaska. You know that's cold. 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.360 There's a lot of snow and ice and and but 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.120 I love the mountains. And she didn't give me the 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:53.040 full low down on on how remote this place was. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.280 So we finally technology guy, Yeah, we made we just 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.640 made up this trip. This place was spect accurate, Like 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.600 it was one of those things where I got to 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.840 the airport and I was like, okay, you know what 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.920 what what? What's the plane? So I was in Phoenix 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.240 at the race, finished the broadcast, flew to Seattle, met 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.320 up with the kids and my wife, Ingrid, and the 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:19.600 next morning we're taken off to go to um to Anchorage, Alaska, 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.680 and so we get the Anchorage, Alaska. I'm like, well, 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.560 what's what's the plane here? What's going on? I like 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:29.120 to be surprised sometimes on on the my wife's pretty 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:33.359 good at it. I never lose faith in her abilities 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.440 to uh to come up some pretty spectacular things. Anyway. 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:41.160 So all of a sudden, it's it's like a blizzard outside, 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.160 and I'm like, how are we gonna get there? Well, 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.920 where they're the only way you can get to this 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.960 place is either by a plane that can land on it, 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:53.200 like on the on the snow, or a helicopter. And 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.200 there's no way we can helicopter in this weather. So 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.320 they pick they get us out of the plane, and 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.800 they it gets over this hangar with a helicopter pilot. 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.840 He's like, hey, you know I've flew in the military. Um, 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.080 you don't have anything to worry about. I wouldn't fly 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.600 if it was dangerous. We're all good. He's like, it's 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.720 clear five minutes from here. We just got to get 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.720 through the first five minutes of snow. I'm like, snow 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:20.200 in a helicopter, Like that doesn't that's that. But I 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.360 gotta say this guy was one of the most spectacular 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.440 pilots I've ever flown with, and and he was super confident. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:26.760 We got out there and he was right. It was 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.440 Blue Skies five minutes away. And and we flew into 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.480 the Denali National Park. And I didn't, you know, I 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.640 know about Denali, heard of it and all that stuff, 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.640 but it never really knew a lot about it. And 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.560 I gotta say it was just one of the most 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.800 spectacular places I've ever been. Just the beauty. Um you 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.320 know that I learned so much about, uh, the glaciers, 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.480 how how you know, how they melt and how the 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.240 snow builds up on hom of the winter. How tall 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.800 Denali is, you know, when the tallest mountains in in 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.360 the world, certainly tallest peak in North America. So I 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.760 gotta say that on was fresh on my mind right now. 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.920 Prior to that, we did a trip a few summers ago. 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:11.280 We went to Indonesia. My son love uh Komodo Dragon 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.480 still does, and so every time, you know, we go 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.360 to a zoo or something, or he's watching the show 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.160 on TV's like Komodo Dragons, Comodo Dragons. So my wife 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.320 she's like, well, We're gonna take him to see Komodo 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:26.640 dragons on Komodo Island. So so we went, we went Indonesia, 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:37.600 not just not just ask bur Zoo Indonesia. Man, I 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:44.000 feel terrible. I'm like, I'm not trying to flex. Time 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:51.760 is a habitual flex. He flex effortlessly. Yes, I know, 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:58.240 he's a vis I'm just living my life. Sorry, I'm 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.080 just asking to answer the question. I said a favorite vacation. 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.119 I didn't say my favorite vacation. I just asked the 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.280 man about it. So, I mean those are probably so 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.440 tell us about vacations I've been on. So you went 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.160 on the glaciers, and then you saw how they make, 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:18.040 how they make and invent dragons? What else? What else? 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:24.040 Magic dragon? We're going to see you know, next week, 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.679 we're going to see you know where rock they pulled 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:32.280 the sword out of the stone. Right when my wife says, 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.960 I've got this, Uh, I got this idea of going 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.800 somewhere on a vacation. I get, I get worried. I'm like, 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:42.439 oh boy, I gotta work. Okay, So I think I 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.760 know by your face. What do you get worried about 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.359 the location? How much it's gonna There's only one thing. 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:55.280 I'm I'm an adventurer. I'll go anywhere. Uh, you know, 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.199 it takes a lot to make me nervous. But but 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:03.360 paying for that's my first question. How much it cost? Hey, 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.960 we can go, how much it costs. I've actually had 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:10.000 to tell myself to last two or three times, like, Okay, 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.520 don't let that be the first thing that comes out 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.639 of your mouth. I know you're thinking it, but you 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.800 have to have with yourself. With my I'm talking to myself, 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:19.680 I'm like, I'm don't do it, don't do it, don't 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:21.320 do it, don't do it. So I didn't realize how 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.560 hard it is. It is so hard for me not 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:29.720 to immediately just go, well, that sounds expensive. Same thing. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:35.679 We just we just booked our summer trip, and I 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.840 was thinking that the whole time. Now you stay in 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:39.880 domestic with all the COVID stuff, I know it's hard. 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.399 So we actually, my wife has been trying to get 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.440 me so long, and so we finally committed that first. 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.119 She'son was trying to get me to buy a sprinter 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:53.639 van and in the RV and I said, let's rent first. 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.360 Let's rent let's rent this first to see So we're 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:02.280 taking a So we're taking I think it's like twelve 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:12.520 thirteen days flying to l a driving to Orange County, 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.320 standing for a couple of days, then driving to Lake pal, 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:25.040 then from Lake pal going to Moab or Zion, glamping, 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:30.080 glamping under the lights, under the star. So inphasis on 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:34.119 glamping because his brother right here, I don't camp. Oh 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:38.040 you're gonna glamp, I'm but it's got a little like 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:43.560 the No, it's called glamping, so it's it's open tent 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:48.800 with a shower, no technology, but we can have lunch 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.760 and breakfast in a low So everything's under a tent, 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:53.840 no open doors. So I'm a little worried about that, 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.440 though I'm a little bit nervous about something walking up 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.080 on me right a nothing. It is worse than having 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.920 to go pee and something sneak up on you. That's 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.160 the whole point of camping. You suppose that your survivalist 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.960 does this ninja look like you want to camp. See, 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:14.119 I don't worry about I can't camp in Jordan's about bugs. 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.359 I don't like mosquito bites and stuff like that. But 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:21.919 but the like snakes and bears that don't bother me. 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:28.200 I just saw afraid a guy said, a grizzly bear 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.080 cound get up to thirty miles per hour. My peak 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:36.480 was good. The man, don't add up, man, get some 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:41.240 sparking me twenty five point seven. I'm still short. The 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.560 first thing is don't try to outrun the bear. I'm 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.680 a brother, that's the first instinct. Yeah, I ain't got 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.919 the outrun the bear. He gotta catch me. I just 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.800 got the outrun. But the last guy can't be with 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:59.840 your kids. Yeah, so damn shame't what Steve didn't want this? 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.440 You left them home? Um, and then from there we're 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.600 driving to So I love that. I love hearing this 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:10.400 because to me, that that's that's that's my kind of vacation. 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:12.320 That's not my wife's kind of vacation. That's my kind 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.879 of vacation because every year I run an airstream and 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.480 I go somewhere and I just but it's just me, 0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.879 like I just kind of do my my zen solo 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.400 trip once a while. I just rent this. You get 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.760 a pass for that. I do. I do every year. 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.520 My wife said, you're gonna go to you can't get 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.560 an air stream to a campground by yourself. And I'm 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.920 like yeah, she's like hmm, She's like, gives me that look, 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.959 give me inspiration. Jeff I'm gonna try this.

Well, yeah, 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:49.120 we're gonna drive up and down the coach. So we're 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.639 going l A and finishing Utah.

Yeah, we're gonna say that.
