And 14 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: they did this after Brad's grandmother told him she regretted 15 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: in life. 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: How few trips she'd ever taken. 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: And he said, I want to get rid of that 18 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: regret and I'm gonna help you out.

It's been really great, it really has. 27 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 3: We've seen so many wonderful sights and wonderful people that 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: makes you peppy. 29 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: Hey, Brad, we think this is such a cool idea. 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 4: Hey, I think everybody should take their grandma out. Hopefully 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 4: we're starting a new trend. 32 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, how'd you end up pulling this off? 33 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 4: You know, honestly, it couldn't have happened without Grandma Joy's 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 4: spirit being what it is. I mean, really, you have 35 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 4: to have a willing spirit in life. You have to 36 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 4: be willing to say yes when opportunities present themselves. And luckily, 37 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 4: when I opened by passenger door, she was gained for it, 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 4: and really her whole life changed because of one simple word, 39 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 4: and that's yes. 40 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: But what struck you, I mean, what really resonated with 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: you that you heard from your grandmother to take her 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: to do all this? 43 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 4: Well? She told me that she had never seen a mountain, 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 4: and that was really the start of it. Because I 45 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 4: had been fortunate enough to do a lot of traveling 46 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 4: in my life, and I hiked the Appalachian Trail in 47 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 4: two thousand and nine. And so when you when you 48 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 4: see somebody like Grandma Joy, who is so full of 49 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: potential and zes for life, even in her eighties, and 50 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: she tells you that she regrets never seeing a mountain 51 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 4: something that so many of us take for granted. That 52 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 4: was that was really a seed that got planted that 53 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: I couldn't I couldn't forget, And so it took a 54 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 4: few years. But when the opportunity presented itself to go 55 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: see that first mountain, she was there, and she climbed 56 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 4: a mountain with me, and I think that's why we 57 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 4: kept writing more adventures together. 58 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: And they went to sixty three national parks. Grandma Joy, 59 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: did you have a favorite park? 60 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 3: All? Well, I guess it was funny. It's really exciting 61 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 3: to be tied to set the young man and rift 62 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 3: through the trees. Not very many people get to do that. 63 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And would you do it all over again? 64 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 3: I surely? 65 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: Would you recommend people go out and see these parks? 66 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: Huh? 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: Oh? 68 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: Yes, the parks are beautiful. People don't know what they're missing. 69 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 3: They go overseas and they have all these wonderful things 70 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: right in their backyard. That's for me to wake up 71 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: and at least go to one. Anyway, they could surely 72 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: do that. 73 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: Well, Grandma Joy, what was your impression of seeing your 74 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: first mountain? 75 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 3: Oh? Great, I even climbed the daggon things. 76 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: How was the view from the top. 77 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: Well, when I got to the top, all the college 78 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: kids was at the top and they gave me a roaring. 79 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: So I get a pretty good job. That's awesome. 80 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: Oh, Brad, that's awesome.

She's 86 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: ninety three years old, climbing mountains, going to all those parks. 87 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: So I'm doing the math. 88 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: I mean, she was born in nineteen thirty. 89 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 2: They don't ask me to do the math. I just 90 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: did it nineteen thirty.
