[SPEAKER_03]: How many days do you think it took you to get from you know Nevada, your last recipe type?
[SPEAKER_03]: You were on the edge of Nevada into Arizona.
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably a little longer than normal, I think, just because hobby is still a little sickies.
[SPEAKER_00]: By the time we get there, he's better.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, by the time we get there, he's better, but maybe we take like a little longer.
[SPEAKER_03]: I do think hobby is like hosting like PDLite and like Gatorade to different kinds because like you're in your anathletes here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: You keep getting like muscle cramps every once in a while just from being so dehydrated that you're trying to return to hydration.
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, you guys take a bit of time to get there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you still driving?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah, I think I just will until there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I could drive.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you don't.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, don't answer that.
[SPEAKER_03]: The caves are pretty big.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be really looking like you fit in the cave.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, maybe we should try this cave.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, we said no cave.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry to think about maybe caves.
[SPEAKER_02]: See, this is what it was.
[SPEAKER_02]: He puffed, let's do this route.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said you weren't no caves.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, I was just thinking like we were going to be crawling and shit.
[SPEAKER_04]: But you just thought about not crawling then.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe, maybe Kaves is not too bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, Kaves.
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, no, Kaves.
[SPEAKER_02]: We didn't.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fair.
[SPEAKER_02]: We didn't specify what kind of Kaves were off limits.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I feel like no Kaves applied all Kaves.

[SPEAKER_03]: We can talk a little walk.
[SPEAKER_03]: We can walk as we talk.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're not going to stop very much, but we will stop and see the little sightseeing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like we'll get everyone three minutes at different positions of of the hike to look at the beautiful natural occurrence that is the grand canyon.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see it from different angles.
[SPEAKER_03]: You'll take lots of pictures.
[SPEAKER_03]: You have three minutes for pictures.
[SPEAKER_03]: we will have one potty break here and we will have one potty break when we get back here.
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you need to go potty, go now.
[SPEAKER_03]: You have three minutes.
[SPEAKER_03]: The ladies, I'll give you five.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no body, I actually do have to pee out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you guys here understand anything?
[SPEAKER_04]: This guy talks so fast.
[SPEAKER_02]: Something about party breaks.
[SPEAKER_02]: We should let go of the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a really good inflection.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have five minutes to go.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really easy to follow, actually.
[SPEAKER_00]: Break.
[SPEAKER_00]: We break to go potty.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'll get you back then.
[SPEAKER_00]: We come back, drain the snake.
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys line up your kind of usher down this little, little, kind of pathway.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll go ahead and do one big look.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, that's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Please stay away from the edges, you see like a little kid like climbing up like something and the dad's like right and like yanks him back and we begin the hike and you guys start hiking.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would like you all to, I want to paint me a picture of what you saw that you liked, what you saw that you loved.
[SPEAKER_03]: What you saw that you were like huh like that's kind of boring where I thought maybe saw something that you were like didn't expect it to be there But in like a mundane way and then if you thought you saw anything Supernatural or cryptidess
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I see what I think is a jack-alope.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, we found it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I started pointing and then I just had a bunny and it had just had like, it was just next to a tree.
[SPEAKER_03]: Which is it?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think, Ellie is like, I'm sorry, it's like just tearing through her, her film.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then the minute the bunny jumps out and is very clearly not a jack-alope, she's like, I'm like mad at you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: It looked like a jack-alope.
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess it did.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you fucked the left.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh man.
[SPEAKER_00]: You put a head on your shoulder.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a rough dude.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry for trying to put some whimsy in here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean it did look like a chocolate.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It did look like a chocolate.
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I thought it was too.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just need a moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think.
[SPEAKER_00]: I really liked looking out and seeing like, you know how it's sort of like plateaued later rock and just like, oh, that's like millions of years.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like, that's a lot of time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like just the wonder of time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think there's dinosaur bones in there?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like genuinely?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, there's some, there's for sure some dinosaur bones in there somewhere.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, definitely.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I always wanted to see like a dinosaur up close.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like real?
[SPEAKER_00]: or like bones.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe both.
[SPEAKER_00]: We should visit a museum one of these days because the one that was near our hometown wasn't that great.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, it was like, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: one of the small little Yeah, I don't want to see like the real like I don't want to see like the ones that are just plaster like I want to see the real But yeah, super cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll put museum on the list.
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't it weird that things like it existed before we did and It was like I just like I just Yeah, I'm going on yeah, yeah, I think
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's just like one of those things of like the rock is really what's really cool and then like also saying like I think I'm also like taking it back by the little bile in this town here because like you know you think of Grand Canyon and it's like it's just rock but it's like no there's like a bunch of little like plants a little critters down here but I also do think that at first it scares the shit out of me because I hear a rustle up like oh my god yeah oh my god we're gonna get we're gonna eat and then another bunny
[SPEAKER_04]: I think a cave back in me.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're near a cave, and like looking at it, I'm like, I don't know what's in there.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I just start slowly walking towards it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think I'm talking to Harvey about the bones in the rock.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I can't say, really cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't know what it's like.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a fossil ordinary.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, like,
[SPEAKER_00]: Like when I die like I hope that the elements align to where that my bones get preserved into What is it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm stone or whatever.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's made out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Zeke.
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you approach as cave a bit and for a moment you swear you hear music.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh And then your friends are kind of like hey, hey, wait don't get over here.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you doing?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I just like I don't know Yeah, yeah, no case no caves, but what a little cave.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you mean what what is okay?
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't get left behind and you see they're like a couple of paces ahead of you guys now hurry up Okay, okay, okay Now I won't go into cave.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay now, but I mean if we circle back.
[SPEAKER_02]: What is what is your definition of a little cave Like a little cave like what does that mean like like does that mean like looking at the cave or like more than that?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you know, just as long as there's sunlight, I think we're good, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a cave Oh, yeah, I think the very definition of cave is there's no sunlight
[SPEAKER_00]: You will be with Skyrim now?
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we should just ignore it and maybe it'll go.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess you might, but what if you just wander yourself by itself then?
[SPEAKER_02]: They can't see us to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: What if we have a Sieg?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I can't front of us.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're a Sieg.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: You just see his feet sticking out of the hole.
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys pretty you know, it's just a simple hike.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not hard for you guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're all very young It's heating up a little bit, but your hike is done roughly in about two hours
[SPEAKER_01]: Starting to get hot.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, is there anything else of note that you saw and really appreciate it or that you want to mention about This beautiful place.
[SPEAKER_03]: You just visited saw snake saw snake.
[SPEAKER_02]: Saw snake.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, I scream like a girl.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah Everyone calm down.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're in his home walk around him.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's letting us know that we're here.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's letting us know that he's there.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's okay
[SPEAKER_03]: walk around him.
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like that same kid that tried to climb over is getting a little too close.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sir if your child gets bit, there's nothing I can do.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, sorry.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to fix the kid up.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like awkwardly walk around it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't turn your back to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like trying to walk non-shallot, like I'm not scared of it, but like I'm just like, keep flinching.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, everything's nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: What about you, Harvey?
[SPEAKER_03]: Any last notes?
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, no, I think maybe like for a second he just like kind of trails into the back just to watch his friends walk ahead of him and just like enjoy that view.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think there's something very you guys are walking and like this little crevice down the way you're not like in the Grand Canyon, but you're down that way and
[SPEAKER_03]: The sun has isn't at its peak, but it's like peeking over portions of the rock and kind of cascading down and it hits all of you guys in this very like kind way.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes especially since you've been in the desert, the sun is beating and intense.
[SPEAKER_03]: And here there's this moment hobby especially for you as you watch your friends is that the sun is so much life.
[SPEAKER_03]: And, not only that, it's illuminating your friends, it's keeping you and your friends warm, and is guiding you, functionally, it's ahead of you, it's in the way that you walk, and you see your friends ahead walking this path, a little bit ahead of you, for a moment, a little too far ahead of you.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I kind of let them, like, be a little too far ahead of me for a little longer than anyone else probably would just, like yeah, like that looks, that looks right, you know, like what if it's like, yeah, your pocket that had been light for a day is heavy again, if you know it's there, it's just heavy in your mind as our your feet as your, it looks right that they walk a bit ahead of you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Zeke.
[SPEAKER_03]: He has been walking a bit.
[SPEAKER_03]: hobbies.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, trailing behind or something.
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you doing as this hike kind of comes to the end?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm, I think I'm going to kind of hot.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's getting a little hot.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Man, those caves look so cool and relaxing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I do think Zeke, again, you hear this like dump in this rhythm from inside the cave.
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't climb my- won't we just check out this cave broke quick?
[SPEAKER_02]: I see.
[SPEAKER_02]: We said no cave.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I mean... What?
[SPEAKER_04]: I just need to take five.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, just need a minute to cool off the sun's hitting us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we could do that not in cave.
[SPEAKER_04]: But look, look how cool it looks.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's not in do that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, help out power through.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're almost done.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_02]: No cave.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, I'll ignore the cave for now, but I look longingly into it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you don't have to do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: You hear what sounds like hoof beads.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know the cascade of them from inside the cave.
[SPEAKER_03]: You feel it even rumble into your legs.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you think there's something in there?
[SPEAKER_04]: You hear that?
[SPEAKER_01]: Do I hear that?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, not at all.
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: At this point, they've kind of slowed down and stopped and now you catch up with them, Harvey.
[SPEAKER_02]: See, look at him at the caves again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he really wants to go inside.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you hear anything?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, there's like something like hooves like a horse or something like that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe there's like donkey in there, let's stock.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me, I'm just gonna go step inside.
[SPEAKER_00]: What, what, what are you going?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just gonna check which one doesn't have the license to take us in here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't have rice wool.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't have licenses to go in the cave.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna eat trouble.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't care about what the government says about where I can and can't go.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like the slowest turn.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Seek out of there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hold on.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me just list.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've just started listening.
[SPEAKER_04]: See if I can hear it again.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you like getting closer to the cave?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you approach this cave.
[SPEAKER_03]: You kind of like tilt your ear in and use.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you feel it in your fingers and your legs.
[SPEAKER_03]: This vibration.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's something in there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, there's definitely something in here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't hear anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you hear anything of it?
[SPEAKER_00]: I really don't.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Freakland's trying to get a little pissed off.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we should just keep going.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're getting kind of bar ahead of us.
[SPEAKER_04]: Really yelling.
[SPEAKER_04]: Really like, hey, someone's someone in there?
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, someone's someone in there?
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, that was just that goes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's just, it's just you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's let's go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, yeah, probably just that going after the cave.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's cave.
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably just echoing off the cave and stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: See, it's just you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's make you catch up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go catch up.

[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to go ahead and so I believe if I'm not mistaken one of one of our guides is is smoking some ribs at home and he's going to bring those also, but we're just going to do how dog and hamburgers and typical stuff some good sides.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to have like, you know, cups of corn things like that, but so.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah it's a $5 entry and we provide everything.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's going to be lots of food.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all you can eat.
[SPEAKER_03]: You just save yourself up.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you're hungry, we'll have s'mores the end of the day.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is unfortunately a three s'more limit per person.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then we're going to do a little bit of star scene.
[SPEAKER_03]: And
[SPEAKER_04]: What if someone doesn't eat all three of theirs?
[SPEAKER_04]: Can someone have that other one?
[SPEAKER_02]: Are they playing?
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't prevent you from giving your s'mores to other people, but you will not be allowed to go up and say you're claiming someone else's s'more.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: You have that makes sense.
[UNKNOWN]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, I'm down.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, what is the cave situation?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, the cave.
[SPEAKER_03]: At night, especially, we tend to stray away from the caves.
[SPEAKER_03]: OK.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's just, it's senseless to enter a cave at night without any proper gear in one way.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some say it's senseless to enter a cave in the jungle.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, also, that it's going to be up here.
[SPEAKER_03]: OK. Yeah, it's going to be up here.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you can overlook, still, you see things down there and maybe shine a light, get to see something.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to look up and see the stars.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, yeah, I'm done.
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably books.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if I books.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, let's pay it right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, they should give you a little tickets.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I also look around the gift shop to see if there's any fun, like, like, keychains or anything like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, there's one keychain that is just like kind of like an acrylic, like the, uh, the, the Grand Canyon, but like an acrylic.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'll take that.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's also one with like a rock and a jackal hoop.
[SPEAKER_00]: I get that and give it to Zika.
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we can just tell people we saw a jack-alope, like... Well, you did, it's right here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: You saw a jack-alope?
[SPEAKER_00]: Zeke did.
[SPEAKER_00]: You saw a jack-alope?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: What, how big was it?
[SPEAKER_03]: I've never seen one in person.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I've heard that they're larger than you expect.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're not quite bunny-sides.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I was just a regular bunny.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just next to a tree.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yep.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's how it got me also.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought I saw one who was a bunny with a tree antlers.
[SPEAKER_01]: and three outliers, kind of funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a shame.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we'll be see you later tonight.
[SPEAKER_03]: Get back around 7 p.m., APM the latest, and we'll get everything going.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you just kind of like wander around.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do what we can to kill time for now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure there's a little like factoid, like, you know, like national parts people have like factoid boards, just go around and read those.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's like, you know, there's lots of little things to do and just to kill time.
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, you guys hang out here for a bit, maybe you go down to like the drive a bit away and get like there's a diner up at home.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: You eat some and you guys make it back around seven.
[SPEAKER_03]: you take it's your original guide is back and he's changed into like warmer clothes you know the sometimes those desert nights can really cool down especially by the grand canyon you can get some intense draft.
[SPEAKER_03]: Alrighty everybody, go ahead and line up one of our lovely guides brought some ribs, uh, he did say that it is a three rib per person, maximum Um, if you're not interested in ribs, you don't have to get into the rib line.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have hot dogs, hamburgers and regular old sides.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've got chips, we've got all that fun stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: For all of that, you can eat.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have all kinds of it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a special summer night, and we're going to go ahead and see if we can catch the meteor storm that's going on tonight.
[SPEAKER_03]: If we're so lucky, we have to hit a certain angle.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a chance that if, you know, if our math was off, we might not get to see it from here, but if we're lucky, we'll get to see it either way.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll go and see the beautiful, you know,
[SPEAKER_03]: natural stars uh something that uh not everyone has gotten to see in their lives uh so we have extra blankets if you didn't bring any you can lay them out lay on your back and we're kind of doing this picnic style and um yeah uh we'll we'll go and get some more started soon enough uh we have our fire going right there and enjoy yourselves i'm gonna get in that ribline
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't get in the red line, I don't get in the red line, I go get one hot dog, one hamburger.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I'm going to talk up, get in the red line, you can give us your ribs.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's only three, we don't get three.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want more than three.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, we're going to need more than three ribs.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fine, I guess I hear what you're looking at.
[SPEAKER_00]: Going boys.
[SPEAKER_04]: All I've had to eat is breakfast and at lunch, we had a cheeseburger and fries, like I'm stripping up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I'll get in the red line, I get in the
[SPEAKER_03]: So you guys all are in the red line, you know, get your ribs and you can hop in the other line get your hamburgers and hot dogs How good are these ribs?
[SPEAKER_03]: They're very good.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're like slow smoke.
[SPEAKER_02]: You could tell like I like took his time on them I give one and one to them, and then I tell them they have to fight over the last rib Okay, uh, let's I don't want to do this seek look.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not worth it Look at look at me in the eye.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we are not with it How about we do a game to decide who gets the last rib?
[SPEAKER_04]: Give him a chance
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what flipping a coin?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, we'll roll dice because we have dice on front of us, it's convenient.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've ever rolled high, it's gets the, gets it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You son of a bitch.
[SPEAKER_04]: Alright, got a D6.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got a 5.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just give me the rib.
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't even have to roll it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna roll.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm gonna get a 6.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a 6.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it over.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can give it time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm the king of the ribs.
[SPEAKER_00]: Making sweet, sweet love to these three days too.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm playing it after them.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just watching angry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have to do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't even want an extra rib, I just...
[SPEAKER_03]: After where you guys are shooting there after that little dice rolling incident and you tear it up the ribs The lady that you guys bought the tickets from earlier comes and I just say oh Well, I had some of these and I just didn't want them and she places six more ribs down on the double real quick No, you're giving it to it
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you guys all eat your fill.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have hot dogs hammer's data salad.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I'm full but I still eat another rib.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, my god You barbecue sauce all over your base.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's only big I didn't have to do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hopefully nothing attacks us this night cuz we're just gonna die You guys didn't have to eat those ribs like that.
[SPEAKER_04]: They were so good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have a rib?
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't I was okay
[SPEAKER_04]: They were delicious and the best ribs I've ever had.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe for yet all about the caves.
[SPEAKER_04]: No way.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody gather around.
[SPEAKER_03]: We are going to go ahead and do s'mores.
[SPEAKER_03]: And unfortunately, it doesn't seem like we're getting the storm just yet.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I was hoping that maybe we could all tell some scary stories and maybe
[SPEAKER_03]: the the vibes and the energy we bring to this campfire might bless us with a nice little celestial storm everyone grab your marshmallows everyone grab your graham crackers and I'll start with our first scary story if you all don't mind stepping my face
[SPEAKER_00]: My spores.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I start, I eat it just like real slow because I'm absolutely stuffed with ribs.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, how many, how many spores did I read?
[SPEAKER_00]: I have four.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have like half of one.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so you guys all gather around the small campfire.
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of the people you saw earlier in your guys's hike at are also here, but also some other people are here.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not huge, it's not a giant gathering.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would say there's roughly about 10 people, not counting three workers, so 13 people in total.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm glad everyone could make it today, but sometimes the grand canyon, not everybody, can make it out.
[SPEAKER_03]: When I was a young guy, I remember.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was told that one of the other guides in a small party had gone missing, day or two previous, and that we were on high alert, and that there was a lot of some of the park guards and things like that going out, and if we had the time and energy after shifts to attend and help, we would, and I did, I was young, I wanted to be helpful.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I did.
[SPEAKER_03]: I went out pretty much day after day and I, after night, I stayed out there hiking and looking and searching for these six missing people, hours.
[SPEAKER_03]: After day two, everyone got pretty resolute that they were going to call off the search pretty soon.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's the Grand Canyon.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's not many places to go.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we just had a rain and they feared that they'd either been washed over, washed away.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't really know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't make those calls at the time, especially.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hadn't had all the experience, but one night I was just convinced.
[SPEAKER_03]: that I would find them and I walked out and I just kept going and walking.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is before I'd done any professional caving before I'd done any of the work and learned the safe way to go about things and I swore I heard the rumble of foot steps or hoof beats or maybe a drum from inside these caves.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not personally
[SPEAKER_03]: of Native American descent but in that moment I felt called to by the spirits and I heard from inside the cave these footsteps these rumbles I felt it in my bones and in my body and I was gonna take a step in and I heard voices I knew that guide I'd been working here for a week or two and I knew his voice and I heard it but when I called out to him I heard my own voice
[SPEAKER_03]: But if someone talking to me, I went into that cave, I found them.
[SPEAKER_03]: They had unfortunately all passed away and by the time that there was, you know, some officials had done all the works and whatnot.
[SPEAKER_03]: They chalked it up to weathering, to exposure, and likely that's what it was.
[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe this is a sad story, but I was called to that cave that night.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I do fear what might have happened if I had gone a little deeper.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's my story, everybody else.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, man, good thing I didn't go on that cake.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm telling you.
[SPEAKER_02]: No cake, he's our bad news, dude.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cays are always bad news.
[SPEAKER_02]: Clim doesn't want to contribute to the weird energy that this white man is giving on.
[SPEAKER_03]: But maybe you can sway the energy.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he gets up to say something, but like the indigestion from all the ribs.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, and he just sits right down.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I got rib juice all over me.
[SPEAKER_02]: And... How did it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would you not clean yourself out?
[SPEAKER_04]: I forgot.
[SPEAKER_00]: You did not forget.
[SPEAKER_04]: You did not forget.
[SPEAKER_04]: They ain't going to have enough wet wipes.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Lord don't even, can you even fathom the amount of wet wipes I need.
[SPEAKER_03]: As you guys discuss your wet wipes and the vibes are a little rancid.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is white man says something about the spirits Something about chilling the hammer and said I I'm like oh, no, I have to go and then but The the woman you had met earlier in the shop gets up and tells just a very like candid like spooky scary Like ghost story and really switches the vibes up a couple more people will hop in they tell a couple more stories and then the guys
[SPEAKER_03]: Hold on, it looks and he like gets everyone to look up and you guys do see a really really beautiful meteor shower What is everyone fill in this moment?
[SPEAKER_03]: I want you just to describe to me how you experience something that kind of is beyond like human grasp really, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for like the first, like, second to see it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, whoa, like, that's really cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's really pretty.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then like, oh, like an uneasy, like, sense of dread.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like a sort of, oh, like, that's from out there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, where did that come from?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, where did that originate?
[SPEAKER_00]: How far away did those things come from?
[SPEAKER_00]: To be right here in front of me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, they don't like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's kind of where he leaves off.
[SPEAKER_04]: Zeke just has no thoughts.
[SPEAKER_04]: He just kind of, he lays down, just looking up at it, and I think he feels, he's feeling better.
[SPEAKER_04]: He just kind of feels like a calm.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: The cave's no longer back in him as he just kind of looks up at the shooting stars.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, your body comes itself.
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't feel a rumble and you see this storm, this combat storm, this shower, if you will.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's just really pretty, and it's like very cool in clams eyes of just like those are stars and they're falling And this is rock really, but it's also so cool, and it's like coming from so far away And there's so many of that
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the the night sky streaks with these bits of flaming gas and rock for quite some time it's it's a lengthy meteor shower You just see these little I thought it would be but I would just be like, you know, you're the shooting star.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_03]: Rock?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, wrong.
[SPEAKER_03]: It ends.
[SPEAKER_03]: You won't get like a little goody bag to go.
[SPEAKER_03]: They have little things from the shop inside.
[SPEAKER_03]: You paid $5, so it's kind of like a you get a shirt too.
[SPEAKER_03]: The lady that you talked to in the shop, she's snuthed an entire bag of marshmallows into Clum's bag, and yeah, you guys have successfully seen the Grand Canyon and got to see a meteor shower and are walking back up the way to your van.
[SPEAKER_03]: What's the topic of conversation as you all kind of meander that way?
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you walking in silence?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I think that dinosaur saw those two.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure at least a percentage of them can.
[SPEAKER_02]: Could guess I guess that's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the long-known problem is that they were like meteor shower.
[SPEAKER_02]: But was it just a bunch of light to them?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, would they be scared?
[SPEAKER_04]: They definitely noticed the last one that they saw.
[SPEAKER_02]: that is messed up but they definitely noticed that one for sure do you think that they're like that one looks different and then they're like oh no I think you think that'll happen to us one day I hope not and we could probably shoot it with a
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's out of here.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the year 2025, probably.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, we got nukes.
[SPEAKER_04]: We could nuke them.
[SPEAKER_00]: 26.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is far away enough.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's technology.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: We might be, we might be in space by then.
[SPEAKER_02]: We might like see these things.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like close living in space us.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: We should go live on the moon.
[SPEAKER_04]: That'd be cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: And my sister going to be alive in 26.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe we'll get lucky enough that there's a rich guy who sends us to Mars.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's not crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I don't want anyone who wants to be out there is gotta be a little.
[SPEAKER_00]: To get point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely a little, but like also like it's kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like having my air around me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like constantly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm not just like conditionally.
[SPEAKER_00]: But science, you know, science will figure it out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we could terraform Mars.
[SPEAKER_02]: 27, maybe.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe there'll be a movie about a guy living on Mars.
[SPEAKER_00]: and stuff in twenty twenty seven likely.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's far away.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's far away enough for that to happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, for sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a Russell in a bush.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just off.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just off from.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Bobby's screaming scares me more than the Russell does.
[SPEAKER_02]: It always does.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're not quite at the van yet.
[SPEAKER_03]: You look as these red eyes looking at you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are y'all stopped or you?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm gonna go down and pick up a rock.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll just throw it at it.
[SPEAKER_03]: As the rock skitters into this bush, a roughly
[SPEAKER_03]: three-foot rabbit with these deer-like antlers bounds out of this bush and away before stopping from moment and peering right at music and then bounding away again.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's where we're gonna end today's episode They found the jackalope.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, they've seen the rancan and they've seen a meteor shower We saw we came we conquered or whatever they were beckoned.
[SPEAKER_03]: They were beckoned by the noises of the caves But did not enter and God yeah, and we end here This has been five times a trench coat season five from inside the tent.
[SPEAKER_03]: You hope you've enjoyed being in the tent with us thus far
