Podcasts about Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Not only did David Cross teach me it was okay to be named Ronnie, but he put Aqua Teen Hunger Force on the map. Big time. Fresh off his successful stint on Broadway (yes-- THAT Broadway), David takes the next logical step in his career and spends some time on a podcast about a cartoon he was on a few times. I don't know why he did, I advised him not to do it. Touching briefly on his time on Aqua Teen, David gives us the down low on having two versions of his standup sets, the origin of his nom de plume Sir Willups Brightslymoore, and his love for insane Hallmark movies.   References: • David's new special WORST DADDY IN THE WORLD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fnw65BBrlY4 • David on VH1 Goes Inside Adult Swim (2003): https://youtu.be/rTC-pDN3Rn0?t=795 • David and Bob Odenkirk on Space Ghost Coast to Coast: https://www.adultswim.com/videos/space-ghost-coast-to-coast/gallagher • Love, Lights, Hanukkah Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBY_DSb-FJk • Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Wild God: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAgsn7la3jg • The Dark Divide: https://tubitv.com/movies/599303/the-dark-divide     ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon Affiliate Links • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Discord: https://discord.gg/NpjSXPECw6 Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: DancingIsForbiddenPod@gmail.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Thanks for tuning in, spacefarers!

Grab your Bible and your crystal meth because we're in for a good time! Bible Fruit (totally not a VeggieTales ripoff) is one of the strongest Aqua Teen episodes, and has a heck of a history around it. We're covering the first mention of this idea back in 2004 & the (short lived) legacy it left behind in Soul Quest OverDrive. Other topics discussed include playing the vocoder for Alan Jackson, the good ol' days of MySpace, and Nick Gibbons tells us about working on Horton Hears A Who.   References: • How I've Read Podcast: https://sites.libsyn.com/530777 • Bob Pettitt on Meat Kingdom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ9GE8jleM4 • Nick Gibbons on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicknickgibbons/ • GOAT Dads Podcast: https://www.goatdadspod.com/ ♫ Alan Jackson - Good Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSROm-vgVRk • 2008 Forum Thread on Bible Fruit: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-bible-fruit-3-23.4510371/   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon ATHF Affiliate Links - Buy ATHF Stuff, Take Money From Jeff Bezos and Give It To Me! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:10:38] March 23rd, 2008 Pop Culture [00:26:41] Bible Fruit Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: Hello@DancingIsForbidden.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Listen up devildog, drop down and give me ONE listen to today's podcast diving into The Marines! If you were thinking of going AWOL from today's episode, well do I have a game for you... in Canada. Involving bread ties and Rush records. Today on the pod we're oorah'ing into the inspiration behind Warrior Gum's insane 3D ad, getting all Sherlock Holmes in the search for the elusive voice actor Michael E. Smith, listening to some of the DVD commentary, and MORE while we discuss this excellent Aqua Teen focused episode. I mean, Meatwad enlists Shake in the Marines, what's not to love! Other topics discussed include lame Canada jokes (and how ATHF subverts this), Janet Jackson NOT covering her brother's hit song, and archival podcast recordings from Vietnam in 1966.   • AQUA TEEN EPISODE RANKING FORM: https://forms.gle/1qAH58xekfDHaV1r6   References: • Matt Maiellaro's MEAT KINGDOM w/ Scott Luallen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEGT_9IoEhE ♫ Janet Jackson - Feedback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU0ucfoBcXM ♫ Why? - Fatalist Palmistry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYRRHZSI4MA • ATHF Fandom Wiki for The Marines: https://aqua-teen-hunger-force.fandom.com/wiki/The_Marines • K-Fee - Screamers (2004, Germany): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jddbSWPbHoA • 1998 Marine Corps Commercial "Rite of Passage": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mw1SB5P_FM • 1987 Marine Corps Commercial "Knight": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyYTK_hYeEo • Bob Pettitt's 'The Marines' Concept Art: https://www.instagram.com/pettitt_art/p/C2QXjq-vXyf/ ♫ 9LB Hammer - Carl's Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgEj9CgP37k ♫ 9LB Hammer - 12 Oz Mouse Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLW--c60lxI • 2008 Forum Thread on The Marines: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-the-marines-3-16.4507441/#post-69255181   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon ATHF Affiliate Links - Buy ATHF Stuff, Take Money From Jeff Bezos and Give It To Me! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:08:35] March 16th, 2008 Pop Culture [00:24:50] The Marines Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: Hello@DancingIsForbidden.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Some people turn lemons into lemonade, and others turn... immortal dummies into magic shows. Optimism is the point here, and optimism will land your ass right in jail. Today we've got ATHF co-creator Dave Willis chiming in on Dummy Love, a fun exploration by the Aqua Teen guys into horror tropes. We're learning how T-Pain and Josh Homme got involved in this episode, we're finding out the original plan for the Skulldilocks book, and marveling at a non-proscenium shot in ATHF. Other topics discussed include T-Pain's autotune mastery (and why he doesn't need it), being upset that 10,000 BC isn't about man-on-mammoth love, a brand new and highly affordable Meatwad ringtone, and we're hearing from an old... well, not so old friend.   • AQUA TEEN EPISODE RANKING FORM: https://forms.gle/1qAH58xekfDHaV1r6   References: ♫ Usher - Love in This Club (ft.

If you don't want someone to steal your contact lenses and torture you with their new-found abilities, you'd better get LASIK! If only Frylock had read this warning, then he could have saved himself, Carl, and Meatwad! ...Hmm, but then this episode of Aqua Teen wouldn't exist.... and then what would this podcast episode have been about???? THEN WHAT WOULD YOU BE READING RIGHT NOW??!!!!???!!??!!!?? Maybe a question for M. Night Shyamalan. Anyways, back to the podcast thing: today we're diving into the incredibly loved Laser Lenses! We're touching (with our plastic bat extensions) on the origins of the episode, gossiping about Carl's randomly new blue-tinted pool, and giving props to Terry's uncredited voice actor Vincent Pastore. I'm also telling you about a video I was in with ATHF badboys Matt Maiellaro and John Brestan! Other topics discussed include the 2000-era ATHF adultswim.com game Head Games, Davey Grohl's masterful PR team, and how reading about The Sims DLC turned me into a perv.   • AQUA TEEN EPISODE RANKING FORM: https://forms.gle/1qAH58xekfDHaV1r6   References: • Meat Kingdom 3: Five Sausage Finger Death Punch Chili: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnSwub5IDHc • Head Games (Carl & Meatwad Adult Swim Game): https://flashmuseum.org/aqua-teen-hunger-force-head-games/ ♫ Jack Johnson - If I Had Eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZcOJgdC9R0 ♫ Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=308KpFZ4cT8 • Nathan Churney & Joshua Mullinax Interview: https://www.dancingisforbidden.com/e/nathan-churney-joshua-mullinax-interview/ • 2008 Forum Thread on Laser Lenses: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-laser-lenses-3-02.4501011/   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon ATHF Affiliate Links - Buy ATHF Stuff, Take Money From Jeff Bezos and Give It To Me! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:10:09] March 2nd, 2008 Pop Culture [00:28:11] Laser Lenses Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: Hello@DancingIsForbidden.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

In a late-night quest to get chicks, Carl ends up succumbing to the power of the recorder, becoming a musical slave for Hoppy Bunny and his religious covenant of furries. Today we're packing this podcast out with input from FOUR of the critical figures behind this critter-full episode-- Aqua Teen co-creator Dave Willis tells us about turning Frylock's room into a parking garage, Matt Maiellaro gives the low-down on performing as the live-action Recorder Wizard, producer/editor Jay Wade Edwards fills us in on his costume origin, and this episode's original writer Ted Murphy shares with us the power of Apple computer discounts. We're also learning about the surprising medieval-based origin of this episode, Matt gives us his preference on playing the guitar instructor vs recorder instructor, and I'm figuring out what my fursona is. Other topics discussed include how expensive furry suits are, the lingering effects of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and Communist Manifesto sheet music. I also toot my 'corder along the way!   • AQUA TEEN EPISODE RANKING FORM: https://forms.gle/1qAH58xekfDHaV1r6   References: • Matt Maiellaro's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@mattmaiellaro7460 ♫ Aqua Teen Hunger Force Production Music - Chirpy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSVGpAX_J9c ♫ Aqua Teen Hunger Force Production Music - Re-Percussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eToXKMJT20o • Bob Pettitt on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pettitt_art/ • 2008 Forum Thread on Hoppy Bunny: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-hoppy-bunny-2-17.4493951/ • Ted Murphy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spookytoons • Jay Wade Edwards on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaywadeedwards/ • Matt Maiellaro on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattMaiellaro • Dave Willis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davewillisshaketable   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon ATHF Affiliate Links - Buy ATHF Stuff, Take Money From Jeff Bezos and Give It To Me! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:07:30] February 17th, 2008 Pop Culture [00:23:04] Hoppy Bunny Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: Hello@DancingIsForbidden.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

If you're looking to expand the size of your Johnson... and/or make love to zombie animals.... this is the episode for you! Carl's new male enhancement device leads to the Aqua Teens being haunted by the pets of Meatwad's past... and Shake's sexual future. We're diving into the original song Meatwad was supposed to sing to Terrance (and a joke that only makes sense knowing this hot info), why Shake's microwaving of a cat is funny, and how Carl's golden poo is a reused asset. Other topics discussed include the non-effects of the film Juno on teenage pregnancy, how the world of ATHF is better off now than four years ago, the new Carl Voting PSA, and Dave Willis himself is filling us in on a few of the projects he has in the works!   References: • Carl "Get Out The Vote" PSA: https://www.instagram.com/p/DAWHyropdDf/?hl=en ♫ Anyone Else But You (Juno Version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBDbUVXXp-U ♫ Aqua Teen Hunger Force/SGC2C Production Music - Home Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ieo8CGsPFA ♫ Lionel Richie and Diana Ross - Endless Love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsqDoz2Co4o ♫ Aqua Teen Hunger Force Production Music - Isolated Landscape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP1cp0ZDtd0 • 2008 Forum Thread on Reedickyoulus: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-reedickyoulus-2-10.4490201/ • Dave Willis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davewillisshaketable   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon ATHF Affiliate Links - Buy ATHF Stuff, Take Money From Jeff Bezos and Give It To Me! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:09:10] February 10th, 2008 Pop Culture [00:22:51] Reedickyoulus Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: Hello@DancingIsForbidden.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

The Aqua Teens are BACK in the third and final chapter of the Carl Trilogy! Carl has had enough of the revolving door of neighbors, and heroically saves the Aqua Teens from Markula... only for them to quickly abandon him. In this episode ATHF editor John Brestan gives us some intel on the IRL Tree Wizard, art director Bob Pettitt clues us in on the creation of his mall-informed art assets, and we're getting to the bottom of the ATHF's chair color. Of course being the last episode of this trilogy, we're also reflecting on the three episodes as a whole.... hardcore. Other topics discussed include Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, not being sponsored by Temu, and stock music producer reunions.   References: • Dave Willis & Dana Snyder at Galaxy Con Des Moines Sept 27-29: https://galaxycon.com/pages/animate-des-moines ♫ Ronnie's Skit / Trey Dog Whistle - Bitter Rhyme, But Sweet Inside: https://melody-garden.bandcamp.com/track/vindication ♫ Seether - Fake It: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy8HPSIFXEM • Space Ghost Coast to Coast - Girl Hair: https://www.adultswim.com/videos/space-ghost-coast-to-coast/girl-hair ♫ Aqua Teen Hunger Force Production Music - Jackn' the Box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45t9BWOpf14 ♫ Aqua Teen Hunger Force Production Music - Boogie Up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiDMceesqWc ♫ Aqua Teen Hunger Force Production Music - Cryonic Suspension: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj0mFsHQU4A • 2008 Forum Thread on Couples Skate: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-couples-skate-2-03.4486091/ • Bob Pettitt on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pettitt_art/   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon ATHF Affiliate Links - Buy ATHF Stuff, Take Money From Jeff Bezos and Give It To Me! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:06:00] February 3rd, 2008 Pop Culture [00:25:05] Couples Skate Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: Ronnie@DancingIsForbidden.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

The ancient Greeks often told of the Sirens, who with their beautiful songs of... 69'ing... would cause you to cut your nipples off. And they were right! In our first truly Aqua Teen-less episode, Carl spends some time with his new kinky mythological neighbors. What they're into isn't Carl's cup of tea... but his credit card is maxed out so he has no other option. Dave Willis briefly joins us to talk about getting John Kruk, Kelly Hogan, and Neko Case on this nipple-centric episode. We're also getting into this episode's Hellraiser influence, Carl's spinoff series "I'm Pissed," and how Markula steals the show on this episode. Other topics discussed include the spoof films of the aughts (and why they died), Robert Plant's dick outline, getting low to Low, a swashbuckling MMORPG that refuses to die, and why wooden paneling truly is the best feature.   References: • Matt Maiellaro's Meat Kingdom ft.

Better the food you know than the... robots... you don't..? The Aqua Teens are held captive over in the MoDe (that's slang for Mojave Desert) and it's up to Carl to... sell their house. Well, it's not really up to him, but he's doing it anyways-- until vampire landlord Markula shows up. We're kicking off our Season 5 coverage, getting some insight from ATHF creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis. They're telling us about the creation of new character Markula, their initial ideas for this season, and where the episode name comes from (and NO it's not as obvious as you'd think!) While Robots Everywhere gets hate for not featuring the Aqua Teens, blast that out of your head (with a Gatling gun) and spend some time with it on its own merits. You might just come around to appreciate Robots Everywhere, just like how Carl comes to appreciate the Aqua Teens. Other topics discussed include an upcoming piece of Aqua Teen media, the time a murderer was hiding out nextdoor to me, Radiohead giving their album away (Space Ghost is just gonna copy it anyways), and your dad's ugly sack.   Thanks Thorin the Grumpy Dwarf for signing up to the Patreon!   References: ♫ Radiohead - Weird Fishes/ Arpeggi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUjGtyYEi90 • Aqua Teen Hunger Force/Squidbillies Production Music - First Strike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghz6MGARuzg • 2008 Toonzone Thread on Robots Everywhere: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-robots-everywhere-1-20.4479281/ • Dave Willis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davewillisshaketable • Matt Maiellaro on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattMaiellaro   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon ATHF Affiliate Links - Buy ATHF Stuff, Take Money From Jeff Bezos and Give It To Me! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:11:22] January 20th, 2008 Pop Culture [00:29:39] Robots Everywhere Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: Ronnie@DancingIsForbidden.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Zakk describes the Berzerkus Festival as a large-scale version of high school keg parties, bringing together friends and bands for a party. He emphasizes reaching out to friends in various bands, including Cody Jinks, to participate. The festival features diverse activities like beer tasting, food trucks, a car show, and a battle of the bands. Zakk reflects on celebrating the legacy of Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul through Pantera's music, noting the emotional impact on fans and the importance of honoring past musicians. He shares his personal connections and experiences, expressing excitement for the festival and the camaraderie within the Pantera camp. Zakk speaks on learning Pantera songs on YouTube and how most of the time if he learns by ear, he will learn them more difficule than they really are. Zakk expresses admiration for Dimebag Darrell's unique writing style and chord choices, comparing him to other greats like Jimi Hendrix and Randy Rhoads. They note the interesting and unconventional aspects of Dime's compositions, highlighting how his choices made the music distinctive. Zakk enjoys discovering the deeper nuances in Dime's work, which puts him in the same league as other legendary guitarists. Zakk recalled his appearance on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, describing it as hilarious and the most ridiculous thing he had ever seen. He was asked to do a reading for the show, which he found hilarious despite not being very familiar with it beforehand. When discussing the riff from "No More Tears," Wylde credited its inspiration to Tony Iommi and detailed how it came together during rehearsals with bandmates contributing different parts. Reflecting on playing "in the round" on tour with Metallica and Pantera, he described the challenges of performing without stage monitors and adapting to various settings. Despite technical issues and the enormity of the shows, Wylde enjoyed the experience and emphasized the importance of entertaining the entire audience.TI from Titans Idiot Nation also joins the podcast to speak on his recent trip to Titans training camp, the origins of Titans Idiot Nation and his newest venture, Sports Idiot Nation. TI talks about the easiest NFL fan bases to get riled up and even some that have come along for the TIN ride.

Creativity is a mysterious, ethereal force in the universe that can be harnessed only with a tremendous amount of effort. As writer, musician and comedian Brendon Small knows, learning to wield it in your favor is a hell of a thing. But once you do, unlimited potential opens up to you. Brendon Small is the mind behind the Squigglevision classic Home Movies as well as the death-metal cartoon Metalocalypse. He's also a talented voice actor with a resume that includes Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Venture Bros, and Bob's Burgers.

This episode was originally published August 29, 2022. Proper Season 5 coverage starts August 5th-- in the mean time, enjoy re-living this episode similar to Robots Everywhere in that the Frat Aliens are annoying (but funny) as hell! ---------------------------- Imagine buying a home security system so incredible that it causes aliens to crash land in front of your house. How would you feel? Shocked? Excited? Annoyed? If you choose the last option, you might be Carl. In this episode of Aqua Teen, Carl accidentally summons two incredibly annoying frat bros to Earth, where they inflict a short-lived reign of unwanted sexual advances, vomit, and family braggery. Frylock builds a rocketship, Meatwad defends his sexuality, and Shake watches The Jeffersons in this episode that kicks off the Volume 3 DVD. Ronnie also gets into some ideas ditched from the original script, where "My Dad Owns a Dealership" comes from, and how "Frat Aliens" compares to "The Cubing". Other topics discussed include MySpace's failed server migration, Patton Oswalt's career, and why we use "lbs" for pounds.

You can spend your whole life fighting to be the next big star and still end up with nothing. Or you can double down on whatever makes you weirdly uniquely yourself, like comedian, musician and co-creator of Adult Swim's Metalocalypse and Home Movies Brendon Small did, and there's a decent chance it might resonate enough with people that you build a dedicated following around the world.

Is Rachel omniscient? Is this all taking place in the Meego-verse? And his name is WHAT?! We explain these jokes and more as we watch Season 2, Episode 21 of Family Matters.Alex Diamond, David Kenny, and John McDaniel heard that the long-running network sitcom Family Matters ends with side character Steve Urkel going to space. And the best way to figure out how that happened - obviously - is to watch the last episode first and make our way backwards through nearly ten years of television.Join our countdown to number one (and our slow descent into madness) in all the places you expect internet people to be:Website: jumpingtheshuttle.spaceEmail: jumpingtheshuttle@gmail.comInstagram: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Twitter: @JumpingShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577TikTok: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Brought to you by Smooth My Balls

Ben and Zane were worried that they were losing their street cred. They were known as the Cartoncasters, sure, but did anybody know about their detective careers? That time they saved the world? The horrible monsters they created/defeated/rebirthed? They brought Ian in to give them a makeover and to let the whole world know that they were the true Land-based Adult Action Squad.

Hollywood in 2023 faced challenges in transitioning from cable to streaming, with the box office struggling and late-night television experiencing an identity crisis. The industry is expected to see additional consolidations and a decrease in the number of wide release films in 2024. Streaming services may run out of time if they continue losing money, and TikTok could potentially rival Netflix. The competition among media conglomerates and streamers has led to a glut of content and a lack of quality control. Disney, in particular, has faced issues with superhero movies, theme parks, and Disney Plus. Late night television is considered a dying medium, with the younger generation no longer interested in staying up late to watch these shows. The rise of streaming platforms and online content has changed viewing habits. Adult Swim on Cartoon Network has become a popular late-night alternative, with shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Eric Andre Show gaining a cult following. The traditional late-night format, popularized by Johnny Carson, may never regain its former glory. However, there are still comedians and entertainers who want to revive the genre and bring their own unique spin to late-night television. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kevin-mumphrey/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kevin-mumphrey/support

Season 4 of Aqua Teen is certainly the most interesting season. While the season has its share of classic-formula episodes, it also sees Matt and Dave pushing the envelope of what Aqua Teen even is. From fourth-wall breaking episodes (Boost Mobile), to dramatic episodes (Party All The Time), to clip-show episodes (Deleted Scenes, partially Grim Reaper Gutters), to some of the show's most shocking (Dickesode, Handbanana)-- this ain't your grandma's Aqua Teen. Well, unless you're Dave Willis, cuz his grandma was literally in an episode. Today on the podcast we're diving into this unique season, diving into its highs and lows. We're also diving through the top films, albums, and games of 2006! Other topics discussed include Amy Winehouse making me lose my show notes, sneaking my gigantic Nintendo DS into class to play Pokemon Diamond, and Timbaland not having time to credit people he rips off for his smash hit selling records.   References: • Ron's Season 4 Episode Ranking: https://youtu.be/Ct7rVfsy-xU ♫ Justin Timberlake - SexyBack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gOHvDP_vCs ♫ Nelly Furtado - Do It: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asy6Cpbtwfs ♫ Janne Suni - Acidjazzed Evening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amXNbaRtLpQ ♫ Amy Winehouse - Rehab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUmZp8pR1uc ♫ Phoenix - Consolation Prizes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnkVUReUVpQ ♫ The Prize Fighter Inferno - The Going Price for Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV3lFDVisaI ♫ The Radio Dept. - Pet Grief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWVflrtliHI • Ronnie's Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley ♫ Distance & Skream: Wise Man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAR2ZEg1e08   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon ATHF Affiliate Links - Buy ATHF Stuff, Take Money From Jeff Bezos and Give It To Me! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:3:34] Top Films of 2006 [00:11:31] Ron's Fav Films of 2006 [00:13:43] Top Albums of 2006 [00:22:37] Ron's Fav Albums of 2006 [00:29:07] Top Video Games of 2006 [00:34:18] Adult Swim 2006 Thoughts [00:40:53] Ron's Top 3 Season 4 Episodes [00:50:19] Ron's Top 3 Season 4 Villains [01:01:13] Final Season 4 Thoughts   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: Hello@DancingIsForbidden.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

If you found out you suddenly had a son, how would you handle the situation? If you answered "force him to become the best athlete of all time or else kill myself," you're clearly in the Master Shake school of thought. In this iconic Aqua Teen episode Patton Oswalt returns as yet another memorable character, proving age has nothing to do with innocence. We dive into Carl's shiny new black shotgun, Shake's actually correct baby handling advice, and why Aqua Teen's grounded writing approach keeps the show relatable despite being crazy as hell. Other topics discussed include stupid liquor laws, Willy Smith being the best actor of all time forever (for real!), and Incubus' Xavier Renegade Angel-esque album naming conventions.   References: • Matt Jenkins' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matthewijenkins ♫ Incubus - Anna Molly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA_xjBaXor0 ♫ Native American Flute Main: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVjYarxm17s&ab_channel=Born2Beats ♫ Beyoncé - Irreplaceable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EwViQxSJJQ&ab_channel=Beyonc%C3%A9VEVO • Reddit Thread about Carl's Shotgun: https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFind/comments/15b83vw/help_me_find_this_specific_stock_photo_of_a/ • AquaDonk Side Pieces: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQl8zBB7bPvJAB_ak87ztVoPiKUxZr47x ♫ Aqua Teen Hunger Force/SGC2C Production Music - Home Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ieo8CGsPFA&ab_channel=VideoKilledTheRadioStar • Bob Pettitt on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pettitt_art • Bob Pettitt on Twitter: https://twitter.com/pettitt_art • 2006 RPG.net thread on Ezekiel: https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ezekial-possibly-the-best-aqua-teen-hunger-force-ever.301924/ • 2006 Toonzone Thread on Ezekiel: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-ezekial-12-15.4256391/   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon ATHF Affiliate Links - Buy ATHF Stuff, Take Money From Jeff Bezos and Give It To Me! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:06:56] December 17th, 2006 Pop Culture [00:23:48] Ezekiel Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: Ronnie@DancingIsForbidden.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Would you put a giant tower over your house for 40 yorlocks? Cuz Carl sure did. In a return to the classic Aqua Teen formula, Frylock is solving the case of the menacing antenna... sort of. Kinda. Not really. We're diving into George Lowe's glorious 2 minutes in this episode, gushing over Mike Judge, and marvelling at the framing device on this episode. Other topics discussed include projection TVs, Jay-Z's short lived retirement, and the influence of Beavis and Butthead on Aqua Teen.    References: • Dave, Dana, Carey, and mc chris panel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac_bO-y_bK0&ab_channel=GalaxyCon • Jay Wade Edwards on Effectively Wild Podcast: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/effectively-wild-episode-2133-eternal-rest-day/ ♫ JAY-Z - Show Me What You Got: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS4U-HAHwps&ab_channel=JayZVEVO ♫ Touring Ammos/Kane Music: https://touring-aimlessly-nowhere94.bandcamp.com/album/soulful-homunculus-blues-beat-tape • HeadOn Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_SwD7RveNE&ab_channel=KyleLC • Mike Judge on Space Ghost Coast to Coast: https://www.adultswim.com/videos/space-ghost-coast-to-coast/sphinx • George Lowe 2007 Folk Art FOX NEWS piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f16q_jVj6O0&ab_channel=ClydeMcCain • George Lowe 2021 Folk Art FOX NEWS piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPJfyXXSnm4&ab_channel=FOX13TampaBay • Projection Screen TV: https://i.redd.it/lvn1mqgerdi61.jpg • 2006 Forum Thread on Antenna: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-antenna-12-8.4252481/   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon Affiliate Links - Support The Podcast At No Extra Cost! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:05:53] December 10th, 2006 Pop Culture [00:22:15] Antenna Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Discord: https://discord.gg/NpjSXPECw6 Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: DancingIsForbiddenPod@gmail.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

This week we're chatting with Flesh and Blood Robot.The recently reunited Chris Fox (vocals) & Nick (guitarist) discuss everything from burgers & tattoos to Magic, bouldering, origins, the Metalcore “golden era”, MySpace, zombies, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, talks of new music, long song titles, gold foil merch, DIY tours, speed bills and bengay, cornfield surfing going cabless, taxers and more.

Huddle up, running crew! We're going long and deep into the end zone this week with a full-on blitz about Bart Oates, the gridiron great… and the Aqua Teen episode, too! Dave Willis, Bob Pettitt, and Jay Wade Edwards are bringing their A-game (via e-mail) to the podcast, tackling this story-heavy episode of ATHF like a quarterback sack. We're going to break down the play-by-play of the working title of this episode, an audible that's easy to miss if you're not listening for the snap count-- and don't forget about the background artwork that didn't quite make it past the goal line. Other topics on the scrimmage line include how other games are pulling an offsides by ripping off Garry's Mod, some Hail Mary attempts to deal with your rap set being cut 15 minutes short, and in a matchup as mismatched as a linebacker versus a kicker, we're comparing Carl and Maya Angelou.  So strap on your helmets and cinch up your chinstraps, because we're about to kick off this discussion. Hut, hut, hike!   References: ♫ (Carey Means Cameo) DrxQuinnx - Initial 頭​文​字 Q: https://bittaperecords.bandcamp.com/album/initial-q ♫ The Game - It's Okay (One Blood) ft.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, often abbreviated as ATHF, emerged as a groundbreaking animated television series that carved its niche in the surreal and absurd. Created by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, the show debuted on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block in 2000, becoming a cult favorite for its unique brand of humor, unconventional characters, and offbeat storytelling.Set in the fictional city of New Jersey, the series revolves around three anthropomorphic fast-food items: Master Shake, a selfish and erratic milkshake; Frylock, an intelligent and rational box of fries; and Meatwad, a lovable but naive ball of meat. Together, they form the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, often embarking on bizarre adventures that defy the norms of traditional storytelling.One of the distinctive features of ATHF is its episodic structure, where each 11-minute segment presents a standalone story, often absurd and chaotic. The series thrives on randomness, incorporating elements of science fiction, fantasy, and surrealism. The narrative weaves through a tapestry of strange occurrences, with the Aqua Teens encountering eccentric characters like the Mooninites, the Plutonians, and the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future.Master Shake, voiced by Dana Snyder, embodies the epitome of self-centeredness and delusional grandeur. His erratic behavior often serves as a catalyst for the team's misadventures. Frylock, voiced by Carey Means, provides a voice of reason, possessing superhuman abilities like levitation and eye lasers. Meatwad, voiced by series co-creator Dave Willis, is the innocent and childlike member, often acting as the heart of the group.One of the defining aspects of Aqua Teen Hunger Force is its irreverent humor, which ranges from absurdity and wordplay to satirical commentary. The show fearlessly parodies pop culture, societal norms, and the conventions of traditional animated storytelling. It often blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, leaving viewers in a perpetual state of comedic disorientation.The Aqua Teen Hunger Force not only engages with its audience through humor but also employs a unique visual style. The animation is intentionally simplistic, enhancing the overall absurdity of the series. The show's opening sequence, featuring the Aqua Teens driving through the streets of New Jersey, has become iconic, accompanied by the catchy and surreal theme song.Throughout its run, ATHF maintained a loyal fan base drawn to its unpredictability and subversive comedic style. The series became a staple of Adult Swim's programming, contributing to the network's reputation for unconventional and boundary-pushing content. Aqua Teen Hunger Force concluded its run in 2015 after 11 seasons, leaving behind a legacy as a pioneering force in the world of animated comedy.In retrospect, Aqua Teen Hunger Force stands as a testament to the creativity and innovation that can flourish in the realm of adult animation. Its legacy is not just in its longevity but in the cultural impact it had on a generation of viewers who embraced the unconventional and celebrated the absurdity that unfolded within the walls of the Aqua Teens' humble abode in New Jersey.www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and presented to you by The Barn Media Group.

It's good movie week, so we're talking about Predator, which directly inspired that one episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force where Carl has a toilet bowl with an invisibility cloak that destroys his body, but only before he gets a new body made completely out of eyeballs! We've got nothing clever to say here, so we'll get right into the yelling. Arnold and almost Apollo annihilate adversary! Geena Davis jabs galore! Skinned humans still shocking! Hunters getting hunted! Blain's MTV T-Shirt! Dillon's pencil pushing puts platoon in peril! Psychological impact on Mac! Arnie gets a Rambo reel! Accolade sack dipping! Alabama tick digs! Cowering under the power! Gay slander... not so good! Predator's glowing porn water! Wild boar battles! Not enough bomb spears, and much, much more on this week's episode of The Worst Movie Ever Made! www.theworstmovieevermade.com

We're diving into Moonajuana, the last proper Mooninites episode. Is this yet another successful entry in the Mooninites saga? Man, I'm too high on moony jane, I couldn't tell ya. Other topics discussed include Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, Now That's What I Call Music's dwindling variety, and how Assy McGee gets a bad wrap.    References (well, Reference): • Bob Pettitt Cable Spool Table Post: https://twitter.com/Pettitt_Art/status/1645585020550086657?t=Oewim-VzwPYa2rhM3fZVqg&s=19   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon Affiliate Links - Support The Podcast At No Extra Cost! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:07:39] November 26th, 2006 Pop Culture [00:23:22] Moonajuana Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Discord: https://discord.gg/NpjSXPECw6 Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: DancingIsForbiddenPod@gmail.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Dan at Grim Reaper Gutters won't leave until he makes a sale... just like I can't leave til I tell you all about this episode. The ATHF clip-show parody turned dadaist nonsense, this is a supremely unique episode. Meatwad and Shake reminisce... Frylock made a movie... Tera Patrick enjoys hanging out with the Aqua Teens... and Carl dies but I mean, that always happens. Are you surprised? We're also critiquing Frylock's film to see how much he actually saved Shake and Meatwad's asses. Other topics discussed include the Wii coming out in 2006, how Tera Patrick can save you from a corndog, and how talking food products convey the human experience better than most other shows.   References: • Bob Pettitt on Instagram: https://instagram.com/pettitt_art • Final Deployment 4 Queen Battle Walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKjmDPGJI-4&ab_channel=AdultSwim • Adult Swim commercials from November 19th, 2006: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT2A1-HesT0&t=2309s&ab_channel=CBZVHS • Lear Bunda on IG: https://www.instagram.com/learshow/ • Tera Patrick Eats a Hot Dog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcT0ir9Ny48&ab_channel=AdultSwim • 2006 Forum Thread on Grim Reaper Gutters: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-grim-reaper-gutters-11-17.4240031/   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon Affiliate Links - Support The Podcast At No Extra Cost! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:07:39] November 19th, 2006 Pop Culture [00:23:22] Grim Reaper Gutters Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Discord: https://discord.gg/NpjSXPECw6 Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: DancingIsForbiddenPod@gmail.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Merry Christmas, Creepazoids! The big day is finally here! On this episode, Joe is joined by his fiancée Nikki to share a few of their favorite Adult Swim Christmas episodes. Nikki brings us "Dethmas", the Christmas episode of Metalocalypse, in which heavy metal band Dethklok get unwittingly roped into not only taking part in a TV Christmas special, but also into entertaining their mothers for Christmas. It's brutal. Then, Joe comes bearing the gift of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and "Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future", the single greatest episode title in television history. To all our listeners, thank you so much for making us a part of your podcast rotation. 2023 has been a bit of a rocky year for us here at Christmas Creeps, but we've still tried to bring you the most entertaining, ridiculous Christmas media podcast of them all.

Transcript Live Like the World is Dying: Pat on Working Outside Margaret 00:14 Hello and welcome to Live Like the World is Dying, your podcast for what feels like the end times. I'm your host today, Margaret Killjoy. And this week...Okay, so you know sometimes I have these shows and it's basically like I find people who talk to me about the things that I've decided I'm really interested in that week. Well, this is one of those examples! And so I'm really excited about it. I think you'll all be excited about it too because this week I am talking to Pat who works outside for a living and he gets to do search and rescue and help people access parks because he is a backwoods...person...at a national park. And yeah, I don't know, I think...I'm excited for the conversation. I can't tell you what's gonna be in it because I haven't done it yet because I record these before I do the interview instead of afterwards. But! This podcast is a proud member of the Channel Zero Network of anarchist podcasts and here's a jingle from another show on the network. Baba Baba bu ba baa ba ba baaa. [Making noises like a song melody] Margaret 01:51 Okay, and we're back. Pat, so if you could introduce yourself with your name, your pronouns, and then just like a little bit about the work you do? Pat 02:02 Yeah. So I'm Pat. He/him. I am a back country ranger for the National Park Service and I've been doing it for about 10 years. So I basically just hike around to talk with people, help out with search and rescue, clean toilets, do whatever needs doing. Yeah. Margaret 02:24 Hell yeah. Okay, I have one question up front. Pat 02:26 Yes. Margaret 02:27 Okay, once when I was doing this forest campaign in a national forest--so not the Park Service, but, you know, the National Forest Service--there was this pit toilet. And--because he brought up toilets--there was this pit toilet and it had a door. And we would prop the door open to avoid it smelling. But then the Ranger came by and yelled at us and says that it works better...The like ventilation system is built on the door being closed. But then other times, I feel like I've seen ones that say, "Leave the door open." What's the deal? Pat 03:00 That is...I'm going to chalk it up to every toilet in the back country is different. So maybe one of them was like designed in such a way with specific ventilation systems, because they get pretty high tech. We have some that have like little solar powered computer fans that will like vent air out and bring fresh air in to try to dry them out. It's kind of neat. It's a huge part of the job. Margaret 03:25 This was like 20 years ago I think...Probably didn't have a solar panel Pat 03:27 Probably not solar powered then. [At the same time as Margaret says above Margaret 03:28 I just couldn't figure out whether she was like fucking with us because she didn't like us or whether she was just like annoyed at these idiots who thought they knew about the woods but didn't. Pat 03:41 Well, the reason they gave may have not been like 100% accurate. Like one thing that comes to mind is--it really sucks--but you know, critters find their way down into there. And so if the door's open like, you know, a raccoon or something may climb down there and like it really sucks because oftentimes they get down there and they can't get out. And you know, at my park, we shovel all of that waste out into buckets and hike it out. [Margaret makes a "pee-yew" noise of disgust] And sometimes you know little chipmunks and stuff are in there. It's really sad. Margaret 04:12 Yeah, Is there like a back entrance where you can go down and access the pit? Or do you have to just literally like drop buckets and like it's a terrible well? Pat 04:24 Oh, no, those structures are literally just...like you just you just like rock them and move the wooden structures off. They're not secured to the ground. and then you put a hole in the ground with just like posthole diggers. Margaret 04:44 That's fun. I'm glad that this is the first question I asked you. [Laughing] Pat 04:48 It's part of the job. Sorry, gonna turn all the listeners away. Margaret 04:52 No, no, no, no, I asked. And I think that that's like....Okay, I mean, that even gets kind of...Um, when I would do any kind of forest defense or anything that involves living in the woods, I feel like one of the main signs of like a newbie in a bad way was people who didn't dig a hole before they took a shit. Pat 04:53 Yes. Margaret 04:54 You know? And so the stuff that when you're like in houses and stuff that you sort of take for granted, you can't take for granted when you're not. So it sort of makes sense that shit is the defining characteristic. Pat 05:28 Yeah, it's kind of fun. Margaret 05:29 But, speaking of shitty jobs...Hehe, I had to make the pun at least once. I'm very sorry. What got you deciding that you want to work outside? Pat 05:41 I feel like I was kind of like destined for it. Kind of a weird way to put it. I was basically...my first backpacking trip was before I could walk. My dad put me on his shoulders. And I was out in the woods when I still in diapers. I grew up doing Boy Scouts so I was backpacking basically once a month. And so I just continuously did that essentially my whole life, and then, weirdly enough, in college kind of fell off for a bit. And then, you know, I graduated and decided to volunteer and have been doing it ever since. Margaret 06:17 Okay, and you moved from volunteer to now this is what you do professionally, right? Pat 06:20 Yeah, that's kind of the primary path to get in. If you're not coming from some sort of military background or something, you kind of have to volunteer or do an internship or something like that. It's a pretty small community. So getting your foot in the door and learning the lingo is kind of important. And having a name that a hiring manager can call for a reference check that's like in the system is kind of an important deal. Margaret 06:49 That makes sense. Pat 06:50 Yeah. Kind of a small community. Margaret 06:53 What do you like about it? Like, I think that a lot of people listening...So the reason I wanted to had you on, part of it is about search and rescue stuff--which I want to talk to you about in a bit--But part of why I wanted to have you on is I think that a lot of the listeners, a lot of listeners do either work outside or spend...Like I actually work inside, but almost all of my hobbies--and I make it this way on purpose--take me outside. And then I often sort of live outside. I don't currently, but I have at various points. But I think that a lot of people are looking for ways to get outside and don't like their current work or don't have work at all or whatever. And so I guess I want to ask you about what you like and don't like about having a job that has you outside all the time? Pat 07:43 Yeah. I mean, it's...I love that my job like requires me to be out there. It's like such a huge boost for mental health and everything. It's nice that I don't have to, like take time off for my family to go out and get those experiences. So that's really huge. Yeah, the outdoors is like a...I'm sure a lot of people that go out regularly have the experience where it's...even if you're not religious or anything but it's kind of got a spiritual element to it where you're just like out in it in the wilderness by yourself or even with a small group, and it's just refreshing, you know. It fills you up. So that's huge that I get to do that and I get paid for it and I get to--I think most of all--I get to help people get out to get into it, pointing out trails, conditions, things that. Yeah, it's really cool to have a job where I can, like materially help people on a day to day basis, you know? Like when I recommend a day hike and someone comes back like all sweaty but smiling and thanks you for it. You know, it's a good feeling. Margaret 08:52 Yeah, yeah. So you're like the human Alltrails[.com]? Is that what you're saying? Pat 08:57 Yeah, I've got a little bit of a beef with Alltrails. But that's maybe another conversation. Margaret 09:04 Wait, I want to hear because I've been using Alltrails Pat 09:07 I, and maybe this is just me, but I dislike how Alltrails chunks everything down into like little specific trails. So like, people come in and ask about like this one trail and it's got a name that I've never heard of and I'm like, "Oh, you're talking about like this section of the trail going up to here." Like, I'm much more like destination based. But that's just me, you know. People like it. And it's really great for finding new stuff. You have the maps right there, which is really great. Although I don't think it's as robust of a GPS tool as some of the other apps. But yeah, it's got some weird stuff with like...Some of the information isn't always accurate. So don't trust it 100% is what I'm getting at. Margaret 09:54 Yeah, I have noticed that, that it never takes me to the right place to start a trail... Pat 09:59 See. Margaret 09:59 Which, i feel like it's just trying to keep me honest. It's trying to make sure I learned how to read maps right. Because it takes me to the wrong spot. But it doesn't do it when I'm like in the backwoods as much, right? Like backwoods is an exaggeration of the kind of hikes I do. Okay, no, no, I mean, because one of the things that I almost dislike about it when I started using it is I'm like...It's kind of like when I'm driving, and I used to drive without a GPS, and drive across the country and all that. And now I drive with a GPS and I know exactly how many minutes are left in my drive. It's a little weird that I have brought that into my hiking life I admit. But, I do like that there have been a couple times where I've been hiking and I'm like, "I don't know where this fucking trail is. Where the fuck am I?" And it's been like, "You're in the wrong place." And I'm like, "Thank God." Pat 10:56 Yeah. Good job, mapping tool. Margaret 11:01 Yeah, exactly. Pat 11:03 It's amazing now how the phones have replaced so many tools in my back country pack. You know, it's like, my camera, it's my GPS, it's, you know, I listen to podcasts when I'm hike. It's...Yeah, it's kind of cool. Very Powerful. Margaret 11:19 Yeah, no, I like it too. I used to hike around with an SLR [Big camera]. And I'm glad I don't anymore. Margaret 11:20 That's a lot of weight. Yeah. Margaret 11:32 Yeah. Okay, so how does it affect...You talked about like...One of the things that you said about working outdoors that actually seemed really interesting to me that seems really cool is that you don't have to take time away from your family to do it because it is the thing...You're combining the thing that you want to be doing and the thing you do for work. How else does it affect your life, working outside or even specifically working for the park service? Pat 12:00 Yeah. So you know, I have a family. I have a wife and kid at home. So...but where I work is, you know, it's a good couple hours away from where my wife and kid are. So it can be a little bit challenging at times. And I'm really lucky that I've got the situation that I do because my wife has a decent job with all the benefits and everything and I'm a seasonal employee. So I'm working May to October, and then I get like...and so in the winter months it's kind of worked out where I'm able to be a stay at home dad and take care of my kiddo. Yeah, it's pretty...It works out really well. And as she's starting school, I'm just transitioning to homemaker, which is kind of working out pretty nicely. I just get to bake bread and do the laundry and all that fun stuff. It's pretty great. Yeah, it's a good setup. But in the summers, I ended up being away from my family. I go home on my weekends. But, you know, I spend four days at a time out here in the back country and in the office. And, you know, it kind of stinks, but I'm out in the woods and I get so much family time in the actual winter that it it kind of evens out. Yeah. Margaret 13:17 No, I mean, it sounds like it has advantages over almost every office job. Like even though my parents came home every day, both of them worked easily 12 hour days most days. Yeah. Pat 13:32 And my wife's job allows her to travel in the summers. So they go and visit family. Like they're off doing stuff. So you know, the couple months where they're off doing those kinds of things, you know, it's not terrible. It lets me go off and do my own thing on my days off. So it works out nicely. Margaret 13:49 Yeah. What would you say for like...I'm obviously...I presume you can only speak specifically to the park service or whatever. But do you know much about like other outdoors jobs or like what kind of like...What would you say to someone who's like thinking about working outdoors? Pat 14:06 Yeah. So I've worked closely with some forest service stuff, forest service people. I shared an office with them for a couple of years. So, you don't just have to work for the government to work in the outdoors. You know, there are a variety of jobs working for federal or state agencies. You know, there's wildland fire. There's jobs that take you outdoors if you're interested in like biology. You know, there's people that go out and survey frogs and that's their whole...Their whole job is they spend the summers at alpine lakes just like doing frog surveys, which is pretty cool. But, there's also some of the non government jobs,. You know, there's guiding services. They're the folks that take people up those mountains like Denali and Rainier. They're private companies. That's a job that you can get in there. And also--it's not necessarily in the outdoors but adjacent to it--you know, all those national parks have concessions, you know, private companies that run the hotels and the shuttle services and all of that stuff. So you don't even necessarily like have to be a park ranger to like work in Yosemite or something like that, you know? You can be like a line cook and still live in the valley and be able to go day hiking in those gorgeous places on your days off. So... Margaret 15:30 Okay, so I actually first ran across you because I put out a call saying I'm interested in talking to people who work with search and rescue. And I had initially thought of--and I'll probably interview some other people about this, and who knows what order they'll come out, so maybe you're hearing this after I've already put out some other ones--But I was originally thinking about volunteer search and rescue, right, and the the groups that do it in different regions, but you do search and rescue as part of your work. And I wanted to talk to you about that, about what search and rescue is like. And just to...the reason I got really interested in thinking about this was I was thinking a lot about how search and rescue is a form of mutual aid that our society puts together and how there's been like--I guess every now and then people try and charge people for search and rescue services and then everyone gets really upset about it. This is like something I'm completely outside of. I just read articles every now yeah and then. So I kind of wanted to ask you about the field of search and rescue and your work with it. And what that's...What's been involved? Pat 16:31 Yeah, um, I am kind of...you mentioned it, pretty lucky in the search and rescue world in that I get a paycheck for what I do. The Park Service is unique in that it's part of like our enabling legislation to provide for the safety of our visitors. So most other places, it just goes to the county sheriff. That's just the default, the County Sheriff. They don't have the budget to have a paid search and rescue team. And there's always, always always volunteers, people willing to step up to help. Which is, yeah, kind of amazing. And yeah, it's pretty great. We don't ever charge for anything. My park owns a helicopter and we don't charge for pulling people out of places and lifting them everywhere. Yeah, it's a pretty cool setup that we're able to just purely help and not at all worry about money or anything like that. It's pretty great. It's interesting because you see it a lot just in everyday like back country interactions with, you know, non search and rescue personnel to where, you know, you get injured in the back country and complete strangers are going to help you no matter what. Like, you see someone on the trail, they will help you in pretty much any sort of issue you have. I do love that about that sort of wilderness aspect is that like, everyone helps each other. It's kind of great. Margaret 18:08 That is a...I think that's a really important point. We had a guest recently who's a wilderness guide in Arctic regions and how that work actually led him to understanding anarchism and non-hierarchical organizing was that realization of like, of some of the things that come up in the back country. And so this thing that you're talking about, about how everyone helps you when you're in the backwoods, I think about...Like, I'm a real weird looking person by most of society's standards. And if I am in most...If I'm in the back country, if I am on a hike anywhere other than kind of like a weird city trail or something, no one looks at me weird. Everyone just like nods like they do everyone else. And it reminds me...[Interrupted] Pat 19:02 Everyone says hello... Margaret 19:02 Oh, go ahead. Pat 19:03 I was just...Yeah, it's amazing. People just say hi. They wave. It's...You drive a dirt road and everyone waves. It's interesting. Margaret 19:12 Yeah. And it reminds me a little bit about what I hear about, and what I've had minor experiences of, of what happens in disaster, which is, you know, the main theme of the show, right? And I wonder whether it's just because when we're far away from civilization and like we...the alienation of society, or civilization, or whatever the fuck--I don't know what we call this--but, you know, the alienation drifts away when we're in these places that don't have as many structures in place or like...What do you think it is? Why is it...If someone's passed out in the street in a city, everyone walks by them, and it's like, "Oh, that person didn't take care of themselves. So fuck them." right?" Pat 20:00 Yeah, it's...You're absolutely right. It's an interesting phenomenon. I think it has something to do with when you're away from that safety net of society, when you're away from like, "Oh, an ambulance is just a 911 call away. Someone else will do it. Someone else has done it." When you're out there and you're...You know that, "Oh, I haven't seen anyone in two hours and here's this person who's injured." You know that like you are the only one. I think that's part of it. And also like maybe a sense of, "Well, I would want someone to help me in this situation." And I you know, when we're in the woods we we see ourselves potentially in more risky situations. I don't know. It is... Margaret 20:48 No, that that bystander effect....Go Ahead. Pat 20:50 No, I'm just, you know, it's that or it's just, you know, when you're away from all of this modern everything we've built, people just are how they naturally are, which is helpful and kind. Margaret 21:04 Yeah. And, and that's what's so interesting to me about it is that like because people talk about like--a lot of preppers, especially like the center-right preppers and things--will talk about backwoods skills as the most important prepping skills. And overall, I don't think that that's true. Although, I think backwoods skills are great and I'm personally trying to work on mine. But maybe it's like, they're getting the wrong things out of it, right? Like, I mean, it's cool to know how to hit squirrels with axes and skin them or whatever. But knowing how...Like returning to this, "We take care of us" thing, returning to this sense of like, "We're in this together," maybe that's the more important backwoods skill. Pat 21:52 Honestly, it's wild. You have, you know, just the interaction you have when you're just far enough away, where you're not, you know, close enough to society. Everyone's...everyone's really friendly. Yeah, it makes my job really easy. Margaret 22:16 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah. I always have...Like, when I talk to park rangers of various types, they're usually fairly happy and not like smiling because they have to for work. Pat 22:28 Well, it's like a customer service job at its core, but you're talking with the crowd of people that are--like we were just talking about--gonna go out into the woods and say hi to every person they see. And they're like, going off and they're spending their free time to go do this. Like it's a very specific crowd of people. And it's very like, okay, yeah, it's gonna be...[Audio distortion with missing words] Very rarely do I ever have difficult interactions with people. Margaret 22:55 Yeah. So with search and rescue, I have a couple questions about it. Okay, one, the least...the most specific--sometimes I like to just ask the most specific question that's on my mind. Which is, so I carry...like when I hike I carry a Garmin inReach Mini 2. I carry an SOS device and a satellite communicator, right. And it's the most expensive thing on my fucking pack. It probably costs as much as the rest of my pack, but I like having it because I hike by myself. I hike by myself...well, with my dog. And this seems like overall a very good thing. I'm very glad I have it, but I keep wondering, especially like when compared with like smartwatches that can send SOS's and like now phones can send an SOS, are you all like buried under fake SOS calls now? Pat 23:46 So no. Not really. We haven't...I feel like it's just that like new iPhone I think that does that SOS, but I don't think we have enough of those out there just yet to really see a lot of that. But, the inReach is our--my goodness--like gold standard. Those things it's an absolute wonder how those streamline the search and rescue process and get people to the care that they need quick. Yeah, like there's numerous situations I can think of off the top of my head where an individual would have potential...would likely have have died if they didn't have an inReach. Yeah, that...I'm sold on those things. They're just the absolute best. And there's a different brands, not inReach specifically. There's a couple other varieties, you know. I'm not here to sell Garmin products or anything, but anything that you can press a button and call 911 is huge. Margaret 24:51 Right. They haven't sent us one for free. Okay, yeah, it's funny because ever since I bought the Garmin inReach I am on their like mailing list and so I get the like...like once a month they send a story of like, "This man survived because he...on a ledge for six hours because of his Garmin inReach 2." Yeah. And it's like clearly sales propaganda. But it's also true in this case. Pat 25:18 Just last year, we had an individual who was experiencing heat stroke, was getting like combative with the rescuers. They were in such a bad way. And if they had not had the inReach, they were like 15-20 miles from the nearest road. If they had not had that inReach for us to be able to get a helicopter there like quickly, it would have been a much different mission for us. So yeah, it's...Yeah, those things are amazing. Margaret 25:49 Yeah. So if you're listening, Garmin, send us free ones to give to our listeners.. Pat 25:59 Garmin kind of stinks because you have to pay a fee, like the monthly whatever, in order to pay for it. Like the best...The only like real benefit it has over some of the other ones is that you can send messages. But the other ones, I think Spot is a simple one, you just buy once and you don't have to pay things. You just like jam a button and it's good. Also most boats have them, so if you have access to a sailboat, you could probably find one Margaret 26:24 Okay, now that actually, that's funny. I mean, one of the things, the only thing I've ever used my Garmin for, right is the text communication and the...So for anyone who's listening, it's a small device. It's like, it looks like a miniature walkie talkie. It's smaller than my cell phone, but it's like chunky and it's a satellite communicator. I pay a monthly fee. I think it's like 10 bucks. You can pause it whenever you want. So, if you're not gonna go anywhere for six months, you can stop. And it gives you like basically a phone number that you can text anywhere you can see the sky in the world. And then you're paying, you know, 25 cents a text or I'm making that number up. I don't remember how much money it is. It's around that. And yeah, and so it gives you an SOS button, which calls for help and tells people where you are, or initiates communications with the responders. And it also just lets you...like it Bluetooths to your phone, or you can very slowly and annoyingly type on this like weird thing. It doesn't have a touchscreen. And so, one of the reasons I actually do like that model is that like, I don't want to interact with authorities unless I absolutely need to, right? And I absolutely will press the like "Please save my life button," right. But, there's a lot more situations where it's just like, "Oh, I'm gonna go be off grid for a week. It would be really nice to know..." Like, recently I was off camping in the backwoods. Well, not really the backwoods. I'm playing myself up. I was fucking...I was at Joshua Tree. I didn't have cell service and my aunt was in the hospital and I just wanted to know if anything happened to her. And so it was nice to know that I was able to be reached. Pat 28:20 Yeah. Yeah. And that's, that's huge. You know, I do a lot of solo travel too. And so it's nice to be able to--just because you can send your track as well. So you can send like, "Oh, this here, you can follow me on the website." And so like, you can just send a link and initiate your tracking. Like, "I'm gonna go off trail and scramble up this little peek here. Like, go ahead and follow along." It's kind of nice, nice reassuring, at least. But then you're connecting with that outside world, which takes away that part of the wilderness a little bit. Margaret 28:55 I know. I was gonna say that part of it. And I feel bad saying it, but like... Pat 29:00 It's true. Margaret 29:01 Everywhere has cell service now and I'm like not always glad. Pat 29:06 It's nice when you can't be...[Talking over each other] Margaret 29:10 Okay, well...Go ahead. Pat 29:11 I was just saying it's nice when you can't be reached. Margaret 29:12 Yeah. For anyone who is listening is wondering why the conversation...We both have shitty internet. So there's lag and that's what you all are listening to. Which, is the fun thing about two people in a rural situation and trying to record a podcast together. And so okay. So you go and you do search and rescue and I have two questions about that. I have more questions about that. Garmin was my like weird specific one. What are people doing? What are the main takeaways that you're learning that you see hikers or campers or all vehicle, all-terrain whatever...offroaders. Whatever. Like, what are people doing that puts them in these situations where they need rescue. Like what? What lessons can you impart to our audience from having seen people both live and die in bad situations in the woods. Pat 30:05 I think the biggest thing...So it kind of depends on where we are. If we're talking about like the close in day hiking trails, the folks that are just out for a vacation and like maybe doing a hike in flip flops. For that, we're looking at a lot of the basic like, you know, the dehydration, twisted ankles, things like that. You know, people that don't hike a lot are going out and suddenly doing a, what may be for them, a really strenuous hike. And so those sort of like, broken ankle dehydration, whatever medical issues, you know. Grandma doesn't really hike and she's suddenly climbing up some switchbacks and, you know, has some some sort of condition that that causes her to go down or something like that. So that's what happens kind of in the front country. In the back country, when you're like really a little bit deeper out into the wilderness, oftentimes, what gets people into the most trouble is they are overextending themselves. They are pushing past what they are really kind of capable of doing. Oftentimes, you get a lot of like the weekend warriors who maybe haven't done a ton of hiking, who really decide like, "I want to do this one hike, because I saw it on Instagram. And I've got to do it because it looks really cool." And it's way above where their skills are at. They maybe go on too hot of a day and they don't have enough electrolytes. And so we still get a variety of, you know, the whole gambit of issues that can arise when you're out in the back country. But usually, it all stems from pushing themselves beyond what they should do for their capabilities. Yeah, and then the occasional like, whoopsie daisies breaking an ankle. Margaret 31:57 So it's actually kind of the same thing as the front country? Pat 32:00 Yeah, I mean, you're right in a sense. I don't...Yeah, it's just more of...Yeah, you're right. It ultimately comes down to just going beyond what you're, you know, expecting yourself to go do more than what you're actually able to do. Yeah. Margaret 32:15 Yeah. Alright, so are the majority of things heat related and ankle related? Pat 32:22 Oh, yeah, those are the two big examples. Those are honestly, kind of the most often are lower leg injuries, you just you step wrong, and you mess up an ankle, and then dehydration, and like heat illnesses. That's like, probably a solid like 80% of what we see on a day-to-day basis. And those are all easily resolved. You know, they're the quick in and out a couple hours and it's done. Go in. Bring some electrolytes to someone. Bring them back up and you just walk out, make sure they're okay. Or if it's an ankle, quickly pop up there, and if they're close enough, give them some crutches and help them get out. Get into a litter and wheel them out if you need to. Margaret 33:06 Okay, so the reason that I'm like...the ankle thing. I watch way too much like hiking YouTube. I wear--just because I'm an old punk--I wear boots all day every day. I used to wear big stupid steel toed boots and hike in them. And now I wear like tactical boots because they have side zippers and they're lighter. And I like them more. Not aesthetically, honestly but for my life. But but all the hikers I know are all obsessed with trail runners. And everyone is like, "No one actually rolls an ankle. What are you talking about?" But you're telling me that people roll ankles? Pat 33:45 Yeah. The people that roll ankles are usually in boots, surprisingly enough. Margaret 33:51 Oh, shit. [Laughs a little manically] Pat 33:53 Yeah. If you're like using trail runners, oftentimes, you're like strengthening your ankles and allowing that movement in your ankle, you know, because like the trail runners usually coincides with lighter pack weight as well. So, you have less weight, less risk. We're able to actually like move with you rolling an ankle. So like, yeah, like I occasionally like step weird. My ankle twists. But like, I'm not locked into something where now all of my body weight is going to be over that. I can quickly adjust and like, be fine. But yeah, it's usually the boots that you're seeing the ankle injuries with. But like if it works for you, hike your own hike. I try not to judge people for their gear. But yeah, the trail runner cult is real and for good reason. Margaret 34:45 Yeah, you're a trail runner guy. Okay. Okay. Pat 34:48 I only wear boots in snow. Margaret 34:49 I mean, everyone I know who's actually an outdoors person. Pat 34:52 Yeah. That's trail runners. Margaret 34:55 Okay. Yeah, I mean, at least like, you know, I...my friend Carrot was on talking about ultralight hiking and thru-hiking and you can hear in that episode me slowly getting sold on light weight hiking. I've always been like a maximalist. Yeah. And then in my defense I'm like, well, I used to live out of a backpack. I like know all about carrying weight many many miles. I was 25 when I lived out of a backpack I am. There's that meme from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, "I'm a full 30 or 40 years old and I don't need this anymore." Yeah. Okay, okay. Pat 35:44 Join the future. Margaret 35:45 So you would overall suggest that lighter pack weight and trail runners might be a safer method than making sure that you carry everything that would be in a Dungeons and Dragons adventuring pack? Pat 35:59 Yeah, um, honestly, you know, people aren't used to usually carrying like 40 pounds on their back. Like, it's not something humans normally do on a day-to-day basis. Like 20 is like not that much different. And most people can move pretty much the same way if they've got 20. But with 40, you're like, you're lumbering. Much more prone to the trips and falls and not being able to place your feet quickly and nicely. So...But, okay, ultimately, it's, you know, there is a trade off of like you're carrying less stuff, probably less robust stuff, you're relying on doubling things up, multi-use stuff. So that's kind of like...It's a trade off. Margaret 36:48 No, and that's really interesting to me because like what we were talking about earlier about people taking care of each other in the backwoods, I was thinking about how camping and hiking and outdoor stuff, in a way, is like making a hobby out of a little apocalypse. You're going somewhere where you can only rely on what's around you, the people around you, and the stuff that you've brought, right. And so that leads me towards my like, vaguely maximalist...Like what I do now, is that like, my pack is a weird lightweight maximalism. I like still want...Like, I carry P-cord, right? And that's like not in an ultralight hike pack. But, I'm also not throug-hhiking. So I'm kind of like, whatever. Pat 37:39 Who cares? Margaret 37:42 But I don't carry like 50 foot of climb line, you know? And like, I'm not set to repel. I could repel in an emergency with my fucking p-cord. And it would be bad idea, but I would do it if I had to, right. Pat 37:56 Terrifying. Margaret 37:57 Yeah, no, I would double it up and then be terrified. Don't do...No one should listen to me. That's why I have experts on. Pat 38:04 Don't ever do that. [Laughing] Margaret 38:07 Okay, got it. All right. Everyone makes sure to repel with P chord. If you're not, you're not ultralight. So. Okay, so I expected the answer to be like, "What goes wrong in the back country?" I expected it to be like, people aren't prepared, right? Because I have this like, tendency to think like, "Preparedness!" and like... But what you're saying is that it's a different kind of prepared. People are overestimating their capacity rather than running into a problem that they don't have the wand of magic missiles that can solve or whatever. Pat 38:47 Most of the issues we see are not solved by some like gizmo that you carry. It's usually like your preparedness, your like physical ability, things like that, you know. Some little tool in your pack, like for the most part isn't going to prevent the issues that we see. Margaret 39:10 Right? Yeah. But sometimes they're fun. Like a walkie talkie. Pat 39:15 Oh, yeah, they're great. Margaret 39:22 Okay, okay. So while we're...Is most of what you're doing like day-to-day hanging out at a back country office or the office of...What do you do in your day-to-day? I should just ask that. Pat 39:39 So like about half of my days, I am behind the desk in the front country just chatting with people, pointing out day hikes. I issue permits for backpacking things like that. And I have my, I always got my SAR [Search and rescue] pack there ready in case something pops off that I can quickly go hustle up trail to help with. And then the other half of my time I am in the field, in the back country, hiking around, chatting with folks, making sure that they're not feeding the bears, and I get the point out cool flowers and frogs to people. It's pretty cool. Explore new routes. Try to find shortcuts into places for quick access for search and rescue teams. It's a cool job. Margaret 40:24 Does your back country pack include a full SAR setup? Pat 40:29 It does. Yeah, so I...But a full SAR setup isn't...I should correct that. It does not have a full SAR setup because I don't carry a helmet with me when I'm in the back country. And whenever we're on SAR, we've always got helmets. Margaret 40:46 Like, like the Team Wendy Bump helmets? Pat 40:48 Yeah, like climbing helmets because we're often like, doing off trail stuff in the dark in weird weather and they were getting way too many search and rescue personnel getting like head injuries. And the last thing you want out there is to like bonk your head on a tree. You know, head injuries bleed a lot. They're not usually scary, but like a cut on your forehead is like...looks scary. And so it's just too much to deal with in the back country. So we got to wear helmets, even when we're hiking for SAR. It's kind of silly. Margaret 41:20 So all hikers should wear helmets at all times. [Joking tone] Pat 41:23 Yes, that's what I'm saying. Margaret 41:25 Cool. Maximalism, that's what you're here to promote. So, how heavy is your back country pack? Pat 41:36 Yeah, um, I actually got it loaded up right here because I'm heading out after this. But it is...Right now. It's probably about 25 pounds-ish. And that's loaded for three days with overnight gear, food, extra SAR stuff. SAR stuff isn't that much more in addition. It's just a little bit more robust things. Like I carry a bunch of like hand warmers. I carry just extra radio batteries, a big heavy duty like tarp emergency blanket, and then just enough layers where I can like stand outside all night long and not need shelter. Other than that, eye pro, ear pro, gloves. [Eye and ear protection] Not much different that you really need. Any like specialized equipment is coming to you. Or you would start out from the trailhead with it. Margaret 42:36 I see. So it's not like you're carrying the larger first-aid kit? Pat 42:41 No, I mean, I've got a decent sized firstaid kit, but most of the time my first-aid kit is for me. And when I'm treating, when I'm helping someone, I'm using their first-aid kit, and I've got some extra stuff for like bigger injuries. But for the most part, I'm like if you're injured on the trail, I'm finding your first-aid kit and I'm going through that first. So it there's like a cool specialized band-aid that you like, make sure that you put that in your first-aid kit. Margaret 43:15 Okay, everyone needs a full suture kit. And everyone needs at least three Sam splints. [Joking tone] Pat 43:25 Sam splints are great, but they're just so big. Margaret 43:28 I know, they're never in my pack and I always sort of wish it was, but it never is. It doesn't...Even my maximalism doesn't put my Sam split in my my pack, but I'm not like a medic. Pat 43:41 It's funny you mentioned that suture kit. I actually have a story about someone carrying a suture kit in the wilderness and it working out well. Margaret 43:49 Oh, okay. [Surprised] Pat 43:50 They...It was in Boy Scouts and we were out hiking and one of the adults with us was a dentist and like way maximalist over packed. He had like an 85 pound pack, but he had a full suture kit. And lo and behold, someone fell and like gashed their knee open like incredibly deep. It was like a big bleed. There he was, sewing right up on trail. Margaret 44:13 Hell yeah. Pat 44:14 it was pretty cool. But I don't know if it was worth all of that extra weight. I mean, it was I guess but... Margaret 44:21 Yeah. I am so...I love talking to people about this because I'm so torn between my...like I mean the main pack that I carry, I just go day hiking most of the time right now and car camping. Currently, I used to basically backpack for a...not a living, but you know I lived out of a backpack, right? Pat 44:44 You're a professional backpacker. Margaret 44:47 Yeah. And now I just have like a day hiking pack and it has, you know, it probably has more stuff than I need, but I'm not pushing myself super hard on how long I'm hiking. I have a dog with me who provides a natural limit into how much I can hike. I can't push myself too hard. I actually don't go out too much in the summer, frankly, because my dog does not like the heat. He is a cold weather dog who loves the snow. I have bad news for him about the coming world. But, I am a little bit maximalist. And so I try. I'm trying so hard to pare it down. And it's so hard. But okay. All right. So....Oh, I have so much more I want to ask you about SAR. Do you know much...Like do you all ever work with volunteers when you do SAR? Like, do you have like...Okay, so most of the SAR calls you get are like someone like calls in and it's like, "I fell. My ankles fucked. I can't walk home," and whether it's someone on a switchback in the front country, or whether they're 20 miles in or whatever, do you like? Like, how often is it? It was...I mean, I don't know, it's almost like...I mean I'm not going to put this in the title, so it's not clickbait. But like, how often is it like, "Oh, shit, we have to get there in time, someone's dying, or like, you find corpses or all the gnarly intense stuff? Margaret 46:21 Okay. So, only hike with a helicopter. Bring a helicopter with you in your maximalist pack. [Dry joking] Pat 46:21 Usually...usually every day, there's something small happening. Small meaning like, "Oh, someone twisted their ankle a quarter mile trail from the visitor center." Every...it's usually probably three or four every summer, big ones, that have a big outcome, like where it ropes in a lot of folks and ends up being a kind of a big incident. Usually at three or four. But they can also resolve incredibly quickly too. So you can have a major thing that is from the time of knowing about, it's within an hour, it's completely resolved. You know, if you have a helicopter around and someone's like impaled with an ice axe or something like that, we can quickly get them out to a hospital like within an hour if we have if we have a rush. Yeah. Pat 47:27 Yes. Bring a helicopter. [Dry joking] Margaret 47:33 Okay, and then okay, so I want to ask--I guess I asked a version of this--but it's like okay, so you're mostly saying like, bring electrolytes and don't push yourself too hard. Are there other things that people like get wrong or even sort of get right about about backpacking or about just like spending a bunch of time in the outdoors whether it's day hikes or not? Pat 47:56 Yeah, I think what people can get wrong is that like tunnel focus on the destination of like, "I have to get here because Alltrails says that's a cool hike. And it says it's moderate. So I have to do it." That's the same light vein of thinking of like people pushing themselves. Where people get right is folks usually have like their ten essentials like people usually have like a backpack, and like a water bottle, and some way to treat water, or something like that. Most folks these days have like the navigation. They've got Alltrails on their phone. They've got ways to get away like get around. So we don't see too many folks getting lost these days, at least in my current park, which is kind of nice. Margaret 48:44 Yeah that's cool. Because I only read...Like I read some article about how the ski slopes have like...Local cops near a ski slope have stopped responding to the like Apple Watch "This person fell." Pat 49:00 Oh, gosh. Margaret 49:01 Because there's like something about skiing that sets it off on your watch or something, you know? Pat 49:09 Wow. Margaret 49:10 And so I like have mostly read about the like, here's how technology is like, making some things like more complicated and worse, but it makes sense to me that...Yeah, I don't know. It's easy to...I don't get lost anymore. My phone tells me where to go. I mean the closest I've come right as you you go hiking and you're like, "Shit, I didn't charge my phone enough," or like or I always assume that in my day pack, I have a spare battery. And then like one day I was like, "I apparently didn't bring my battery in my pack," you know? So I died. No, I clearly didn't. But no, it's cool to hear that people are getting lost less. And even I think that that also even applies to the like outdoors as mini apocalypse type thing, is that it helps to like know that there's certain...I mean, obviously we rely on certain technologies that may or may not work in different situations, right? Like if we're entirely reliant on cell service and cell service is no longer available or whatever. I am trying to think of what the, what the other thing is...I feel like there's...Okay, well, one, I want to ask you what water filter you use, what water treatment system you use? Pat 50:34 I use a Sawyer. Sawyer Squeeze. Put it right on my little water bottle. I like literally have my pack right here. Margaret 50:44 Yeah, no, I got really excited when you said that because I...I like, I make fun of how like preppers always, like, nerd out about gear. But it's just impossible not to. If you get involved in a hobby, or an interest, at some point, you're going to be like, "But what did you use?" Like, you know? So...But having a way to do it. Yeah, like Sawyer Squeeze...Sawyer is what I use when I lived off grid at the beginning of the pandemic and needed to filter all my water. Pat 51:16 They're great. They're cheap. Can buy them in any outdoor store. Kind of nice. Margaret 51:24 Yeah. All right. The sad question. Maybe the answer isn't sad. How have you seen, working at one place for 10 years...I assume...Whatever. I think you've been there for 10 years. Pat 51:36 I've worked in two different parks. But yeah, ten years. Margaret 51:39 Okay. How has climate change affected? Like you see the outdoors every year? What's been changing? And what are? What are people around you saying and thinking? Like, how seriously are people taking it? And what's that? Pat 51:58 Yeah, we all kind of collectively acknowledged that, especially like the group of seasonals that are like that I'm like working with, we all kind of acknowledge that, like, "Yeah, we get to be frontline watching these places go through the changes for, you know, climate change. We're going to be like, documenting these in our patrol reports of like, how the snow melt is different from year to year and what the new normals are. And it's kind of a weird, like, yeah, like, somebody's got to document it. And so we're, we're here for that. And it's yeah, it's, it's sad. It's like a collective like, "Oh, shit, we're gonna see this place, these places change. And we're going to, we're going to be documenting that, and recording that, and being that that data collection," at least from like, firsthand accounts, so...You know, it's tough when we're just, you know, we're just little patrol Rangers. We don't have really much power other than just communicating to people. That's one of the things I like to talk about. And I like point out things on a map is like, "Oh, yeah, do you see this, like this glacier was here. And now it's way up here. And it's receding this much every year." Yeah. So we have that power to communicate with people. But it's, it's a tough part of the job. Let's put it like that. Margaret 53:25 Yeah, it...I don't know. Climate grief is a....At some point we need and episode on climate grief. Because it's something that like we all sort of avoid thinking about, even when you're like doing preparedness. Like part of the point of doing preparedness, from my point of view is to like avoid thinking about like how things might go. What have been people's responses, like, do you run across...Are most people....? Because if you hang out on Twitter, anytime someone says, "Hey, this is the hottest day ever. This is a problem." You have like 50 blue checkmarks, who may or may not be real people, being like, "Everything's seasonal, you idiots." Like do you run across those people in like a 50/50 to regular....people who actually understand what's happening. Pat 54:11 No, the vast majority of people that I talk to about that stuff....First off, I'm talking usually to backpackers. So it's usually like a certain crowd of people, and like National Park backpackers as well. There's also like a selective crowd. And so most people are like acknowledge the reality of climate change and recognize like, "Oh my gosh, this is a changing landscape now." Occasionally, though, I get the person that is like, "Oh, climate change. That's...These glaciers, they always grow and shrink. What are you talking about?" And it's, it's a delicate manner, you know, to talk my way out of that one because I'm in uniform and everything. Margaret 54:58 Yeah, you don't just like pull a gun and chase them out of the park? [Joking] Pat 55:04 That'd be nice. I'd be like, "What are you doing here? Why are you here? Go away!" No, I have to be friendly and I don't know, show them pictures of wherever glaciers used to be. Margaret 55:16 No, that makes sense. No, it actually, I mean, I actually...I think if anything is gonna get us out of...Well obviously, there's no stopping climate change, right? Like there's mitigating the worst impacts, both in terms of the level of change and how that change affects us. But like, we're well past the like...We're like, actually in it now. You know? But I do think still that like getting people...Like changing people's minds, it still actually matters. And it's still actually...You know, there's this counter inflammation program that's designed to destroy the fucking Earth and we have to counter it. And okay, but I have a non climate change related question. And it's the last one I have on my list and then I'm gonna ask you if you have anything that I should have been asking you. What can folks...You deal with a lot of different people coming in, and you talked about different people overestimating their levels of ability and stuff. And sometimes, when I run across like outdoorsy stuff, there's like this macho culture of like, who can do the most vertical feet? And who can, you know, walk the furthest in the worst climate? It's actually almost cool that the weird macho thing about gear is to have us be lighter instead of heavier. But..which is the opposite of what I what I would expect it, you know? But, how can people of different levels of ability...like one of the things I like about...We didn't really talk about the problems at the Park Service. I think that that's just a thing? Pat 57:06 That's a whole conversation. Margaret 57:11 Right? You know, the Park Service comes from a very bad place. And so does all of the United States, right? And... Pat 57:19 Yes. Margaret 57:19 You know, like, you talked earlier about like private versus public. And, you know, and it's like, is giving yuppies a safe taste of the wilderness for a private company like more ethical than working for the federal government? I don't actually think so. I think everyone has to do different things in order to survive. But...Well, actually, I guess I'm now bringing that up. If you have anything you want to say about that we could talk about. You don't have to. Pat 57:38 I don't mind. Yeah, it's it's tough. You know, I love these places. It's not my land, though. You know, I'm on indigenous land. This is where I work. And it's, it is a tough aspect to kind of try to reconcile because I love my job. And these, I'm happy these places are protected. But also, like, I don't know, if...Like, you know, I'm white. Like, I don't know, if I should be the person in the back country telling people not to step on the wildflowers, you know? I'll do it because the job is there. And honestly, I couldn't imagine doing something else. But if that land got returned to the indigenous tribes, tomorrow, I would be all for it. You know, it's, it's at the edge. It's a tough one to reconcile. And they're starting to make moves. You know, just the other day, got to go through all of our little laminated maps and sharpie out one of the names for a lake because it used to be a really offensive name for Indigenous women. And now, it's not that anymore. It's like a local indigenous word for grandmother. And it's like, "Wonderful! I get to cross this out and write in the new name on this map." Like, that's fun. But also, you know, it's still not the tribe's land anymore. So, I don't know. It's tough. Margaret 57:44 No, it makes sense. And I mean, when I think about the National Park Service, I think about a lot of really negative things and then I also think about how like as when I was doing forest defense, the National Forest Service is part of the Department of Agriculture and national forests exist federally not to be protected but to be harvested. And any like people use, or nature use that--and people are nature but you know--that comes along the way is like a byproduct. Pat 59:05 Yeah. Margaret 59:09 You know? And yeah, that's the...It's weird because the park services are like, parts of them and more some of them more than others, are like theme park for nature. And there's like all kinds of complicated things. But it's also like...I remember at one point, I was in Yosemite, and I was like on a raised walkway to go see some falls. And I'm like, "You know, it fucking rules that these falls are wheelchair accessible." Like, that's cool. And it's interesting to me that there are people working to try and figure out how to balance, access and preservation. And so even though it comes from the....I don't know, whatever. I'm not trying to be like, "The park service is great," right? But it's just like, it's fucking complicated. Pat 1:00:44 Yeah, exactly. It's, you know, you make the parks really accessible and then that degrades the quality of the resource in the that solitude in that wilderness aspects if there's a parking lot with 1000 cars, or you know, 200 people on the trail. But also, like, it's great that people can get out to these places. That is the...Yeah, give a park ranger a beer and ask them, "How do you balance access versus preservation?" and that's a that's a whole podcast series right there. Margaret 1:01:18 Yeah, no, I would totally listen to a podcast series that both talks about the weird fucked up place that the parks come from, and like the way that they do all this bad stuff, but then also, they're complicated, like...I remember being in a national park run cave and this little kid was like, "Why can't we go in that part of the cave?" And the Ranger was like, "Because there's a bat sleeping." And the kid was like, "Well, what if I want to go in anyway?" And the Ranger looks at this like little kid and is like, "If it's between you and the bat, the bat gets the cave and you don't." Like, watching the entitlement strip away from this little kid's eyes and I'm like, yeah...I don't know. Well, okay, and this actually gets into the thing that I was going to ask as my question, which is, um, what can people different levels of ability do? Right? If you try to get involved in, in, not necessarily working outdoors but like, engaging with the outdoors and you're not like, totally able to just immediately--I mean, I can't fucking hike like I used to. I'm not trying to fucking go...Like, I walk seven miles and up 2000 feet, and I'm like, "I am fucking done." And my dog is like, "We are done." You know? But like, what can people do? Like...how make more accessible? Pat 1:02:44 The best way to really get started if you don't have that experience and really want to avoid that pitfall of like, "I'm going to do this hike because I saw a guide book that says I should do this hike. So I've got to do it." It's just be completely flexible with not getting to whatever the destination of the hike is, you know? Choose something small to start off with, you know, and only do a couple miles, and set a time to like turn around. Say like, "I want to hike for two hours and turn around in one hour," regardless of if you get to the destination or not. And really try to change your mindset from the point of the hike being to get to the viewpoint or to get to the cool cave or whatever, to being the point of the hike is to like stop and see the little things along the way. Some of favorite days are like cloudy, rainy days because I'm not looking for views on those days. I'm like, focused down on like how the rain and the water makes the moss look different or changes the coloration of the wood grain and things like that. You know, rocks look a lot cooler in crummy weather. So I think like changing your mindset to like, "I'm not hiking to get somewhere. I'm hiking to be in nature," can really change like your mentality of, "I don't have to push myself to get to that place. Because just around the corner, there might be a cool thing to look at," and like really sit and explore and like look closely. Margaret 1:04:19 Yeah, okay. Pat 1:04:20 That's my advice is to treat it like a walk in the woods before a trek. And you'll eventually get better and more fit and more experience to be able to push on and do more extreme stuff. Margaret 1:04:36 I like that a lot. Okay, well, that's, that's my questions. Is there like a question you wish I had asked you or like final thoughts or anything? Pat 1:04:44 No, I think the biggest thing is that folks should get out and hike and push yourself, but have a backup plan and make sure that you don't get in over your head. Drink your electrolytes. It's hot. Margaret 1:05:06 Yeah. What electrolyte do you rep? What do you pack? Pat 1:05:12 The gold standard is the that Liquid IV brand, just because it's like four times as much electrolytes than the other stuff. It's also really expensive. So like the knockoff store brand version of that, I've found it like a Safeway has been...It's been okay. Yeah, okay. Margaret 1:05:34 Alright. Well, everyone go outside, or don't, but probably do. See the world while it's still around? I gotta admit, that's been a big part of it for me is I'm like, "But I haven't seen everywhere." Pat 1:05:53 Yeah, I want to see it before that doesn't happen there anymore. Yeah, it's tough. Go touch really faraway grass. Margaret 1:06:08 Yeah. Well, do you have anything that you want to promote or push? Or do you want people to follow you on the internet or support any given program or thing? Pat 1:06:20 I wish I had thought about this before recording, but I don't...I don't like having an online presence. So don't try to find me online. You can't. But yeah, go for a hike. And touch some grass that's really far away. That's my advice. That's what I'm gonna plug. Margaret 1:06:41 Hell yeah. Margaret 1:06:47 Thank you so much for listening.
