Podcasts about Gunpowder

We think of the Tudor period as velvet and poetry and dramatic executions. We do not think of it as siege warfare. That's a mistake. In this episode I'm looking at three Tudor sieges that completely wrecked my assumptions about this era: - Henry VIII personally showing up to besiege a French city (and having to be hoisted onto his horse to get there), - a Protestant reformer who ended up as a galley slave after one of the most dramatic castle standoffs in Scottish history, - and a massacre on an Irish headland that the Elizabethan golden age narrative tends to skip past. Gunpowder was changing everything in this period. The Tudors were living in a world of constant violence and instability that the pretty portraits don't show us. And some of the most consequential moments of the 16th century happened not in a court or a council chamber, but outside a set of walls. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Feb. 23, 1776, John Adams offered resolutions in the Continental Congress with the intent of boosting domestic production of saltpeter, a main ingredient in gunpowder, and gunpowder mills. Domestic production never really took off during the war, only accounting for a small percentage of total gunpowder. Instead, the colonies imported or smuggled supplies in from the French and the West Indies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode: 3266 Fireworks, Firecrackers, and Lunar New Year.  Today, we ring the new year in with a bang.

On Feb. 12, 1776, the journals of the Continental Congress reveal that Major Gen. Lee is very worried about New York and that troops should be sent form Pennsylvania and New Jersey to aid him. The Congress also works on distribution of salt peter for the purposes of making gunpowder and blankets for a batallion. John Hancock urges Pennsylvania Delegate John Dickinson to get to Congress on time to vote the next day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The wind-powered sawmill was invented around 1592 in the Netherlands, immediately transforming the nature of labor and industry. This mechanical marvel replaced slow, muscle-powered sawyers, allowing timber to be cut for shipbuilding and construction up to 30 times faster than manual labor, radically lowering the cost of wood products. It used a crankshaft to convert the windmill's rotating motion into the linear, up-and-down movement required for sawing wood, essentially creating an early, powerful assembly line factory. This mechanization allowed for unprecedented, rapid timber production, which quickly made the Dutch rich and enabled the massive expansion of their global fleet and construction projects. This invention, whose significance has been overlooked, has been researched by today’s guest, Jaime Davila, author of “Forgotten: How One Man Unlocked the Modern World.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're joined by Harneet Baweja: restaurateur, operator, and the man behind some of London's most-loved restaurants. Over the last decade he's built an absurdly good line-up: Gunpowder, Empire Empire, Moi et Toi, Fortune Fried Chicken, and the recently opened Master Jackie back in his hometown of Kolkata. It's a 10-year anniversary conversation with proper bite. Harneet talks about celebrating Gunpowder's first decade by doing something borderline outrageous: rolling back the menu to 2015 prices, with some dishes down around 70%. It's not a stunt. It's a clear-eyed look at what restaurants are up against right now, and what it takes to pull off something generous without collapsing, from suppliers pitching in to the team simply trying to keep the wheels turning.You also get the origin story that explains everything: the tiny Spitalfields site, the chaos of opening, doing everything yourself, and the scrappy early days that shaped how he runs a business now. Harneet unpacks what it was like trying to convince London that Indian food could sit outside the old stereotypes, and how a community of regulars, critics, and champions helped put Gunpowder on the map. He's funny, blunt, and refreshingly unpolished about the luck, the grind, and the moments that could have gone either way.Harneet also runs through his actual go-to orders and favourite spots, the drinks he really wants (whiskey, barely any water), his love for Old Monk rum, and the ultimate nibbles he'd put out for friends, from the rasam bomb to those famous lamb chops. There's Kolkata food intel, Chinatown history, late-night favourites, nightmare service stories, and a whole lot of heart underneath the swagger.

ASSASSINATION PLOTS AND THE MIRACLE OF NEW YORK Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. In 1776, a conspiracy orchestrated by Loyalist Governor Tryon to assassinate George Washington and destroy Patriot gunpowder supplies was uncovered. Thomas Hickey, a member of Washington's own Lifeguard, was implicated and subsequently executed. Later, during the Battle of Long Island, the Continental Army faced destruction, trapped against the East River. In what O'Donnell calls an "American Dunkirk," the Marblehead Regiment utilized their nautical skills to ferry 9,000 troops to safety in Manhattan under the cover of darkness and fog, saving the revolution from collapse. NUMBER 51872

THE CORNFIELD ESCAPE AND THE POWDER CRISIS Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. Patrick O'Donnellintroduces the Marblehead leadership during the critical nights of April 1775. As the British marched toward Lexingtonand Concord to seize gunpowder, three key Patriot leaders—Elbridge Gerry, Azor Orne, and Jeremiah Lee—were forced to flee the Blackhorse Tavern and hide in a cornfield to avoid arrest. O'Donnell emphasizes that the conflict was initially a civil war over resources, specifically black powder, which the Marbleheaders had been smuggling in from Spain. The British aim was to disarm the rebels by seizing these munitions, sparking the events at Lexington. NUMBER 11780

In this episode of the Guns Podcast, hosts Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington tackle the age-old question: Is reloading ammunition still a good idea in today's economy? The conversation kicks off with a relic from the past — a can of Unique powder with a price tag from the 1970s — sparking a deep dive into inflation, purchasing power, and the comparative costs of components over the last 50 years. You might be surprised to learn how many labor hours are required to buy supplies today compared to decades ago. Beyond the dollars and cents, Roy and Brent explore the intangible benefits of reloading. From chasing sub-MOA accuracy and tailoring loads for specific firearms to the simple therapeutic joy of crafting something with your hands, they discuss why "saving money" shouldn't be the only motivation.  Whether you are a seasoned handloader or considering buying your first single-stage press, this episode offers a balanced perspective on the value of rolling your own. Tune in for a candid discussion on the math, myths, and mechanics of reloading. Key Takeaways • When adjusted for inflation and wages, the cost of reloading components is relatively comparable to the 1970s. • Reloading equipment like presses pays for itself over time due to extreme longevity. • The primary value of reloading often shifts from saving money to achieving better accuracy and customization. • Beginners should start with affordable kits like the Lee Loader to test the waters before heavy investment. • Reloading allows for creating niche loads, such as low-recoil rounds for vintage lever-action rifles. • If you treat reloading purely as a mercenary money-saving venture, you might miss the enjoyment of the hobby. • Overall, reloading is often a financial 'wash' when factoring in time, but offers independence from supply chain shortages. --- The Guns Podcast is presented by TangoDown.

On November 5, 1605, a plot to destroy England's Parliament was foiled. Today, Stephen Nichols reflects on how this event has reminded generations to give glory to God for His providential deliverance.

To begin today's tale, allow me to share a translation of an ancient Chinese joke: Three men were looking at the clouds. One points to a cloud and says, that cloud is shaped like a horse. Another points to a cloud and says, that one is shaped like a whale. The third man points to a mushroom-shaped cloud, and everyone dies. On today's episode: you'll find out just how badly ancient China wanted nothing to do with you; you'll learn about an explosion so large, people miles away had to clear limbs and genitals from their rooves; and you would hear about how at the time, ancient disasters were believed to be Heaven's way of saying your Government sucked.And if you were listening on Patreon… you would hear about how people were killed in the early development of explosives, including those for whom there wasn't enough left to put a thermometer in; you would hear about the time San Francisco tried to use dynamite to fight fires, and how that didn't go as well as you'd think; and you would hear as I climb upon my pulpit and deliver unto you a sermon on blasphemy and the special place in hell reserved for insurance adjusters.As one supporter who already heard this on Patreon said – "everybody Wanggongchang tonight!"Jesus himself will make a quick cameo in this story, and he will explain how all sins are forgivable – except for the blasphemous use of his Dad's name by insurance adjusters, and how there's a toasty level of hell that awaits them all. Apologies in advance if you work in insurance, but it's better to find out now. The last time we visited China, we watched a sideways rocket launch that performed an incomplete orbit over the countryside before landing nose first onto its own launch centre 22 seconds later. Those were the good old days compared to today's story, which is much older, and much more aggressive. It won't be as gory of course, but the body count will be much more egregious. In trying to figure out this story's rightful place in history, I had to start comparing it to meteors and super volcanoes and atomic bombs. Not to spoil anything, but this is one of the more profound disasters we've ever covered, and the cause was I believe, something so innocuous and dumb, I've done it to my cat by accident before.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Andrew Alan Buhman, author of the book Nick Grayson: The Truth in the Lies. Andrew grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula within a Fundamental Baptist family, attending a private Christian school and later a renowned Bible college in South Carolina. At five, Andrew embraced faith in Christ, and at ten, inspired by a fiery summer camp sermon, devoted his life to missionary work. After college, he pursued that dream, marrying in the Philippines and eventually planting a church in Southern California. However, the pandemic marked a turning point.   Witnessing the church's response during this time led to a profound spiritual awakening and a transition from Christianity to an eclectic, Taoist-inspired spirituality. This journey of faith, disillusionment, and redemption deeply influenced Nick Grayson: The Truth in the Lies. The complex characters and morally ambiguous world—rooted in themes of voodoo, Catholicism, and personal struggle—are a reflection of Andrew's own search for truth in a shifting spiritual landscape.   In my book review, I stated Nick Grayson: The Truth in the Lies is detective mystery/thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. Set in New Orleans, this novel takes us into the seedy side of town with voodoo, drugs, and corruption.   Nick Grayson, though a present-day private investigator, looks and acts like a throwback to an earlier time. His office desk sports a rotary phone, he wear a fedora and trench coat, and he calls the women in his life 'doll.' His secretary is just the opposite, using modern technology and listening to hip hop. Together, they make an unbeatable team. However, the case they take on begins to unravel their trust and could cost them their lives.   Despite doing his job well, Nick's life is a mess. He drinks too much, he's a womanizer, and he has ghosts from his past that keep him from moving forward. And that is what makes him so endearing. His flaws make him real and keep the reading hoping for a good outcome. If you like fast-paced books with gritty characters, then you will love Nick Grayson: The Truth in the Lies.   Content note: There are some rather detailed sex scenes.

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November; Gunpowder, treason and plot; I see no reason why gunpowder, treason; should ever be forgot." Every year, people across the United Kingdom light fireworks and bonfires to commemorate the events of November 5th, 1605. Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night celebrates the capture of Fawkes (1570-1606), who was apprehended under the British Houses of Parliament with 36 barrels of gunpowder, fuses and matches, planning to blow up King James I and his entire Parliament, which would have severely altered the course of British North America.

Hello and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a spiritual experience. I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and today I'm joined by my friend Gretchen Marteney.In this episode, Gretchen discusses how her exploration of consciousness brought back into her life the joy and mystery of childhood and how the passing of her father at an early age opened up the portal to other spiritual realms for her. From there, we discuss false flags and examples in modern times of governments orchestrating covert operations with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on other parties.“Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason, Why the Gunpowder treason, Should ever be forgot!”Next, we discuss how freeing oneself from the fear of death can serve as the first step in freedom from control. From there, we discuss the Russian and Ukrainian conflict and the motivating factors behind Donald Trump's presidential campaigns. We then talk about the importance of open discourse and freedom of speech, including for topics considered taboo and controversial.From there, we talk about the power of letting go and the importance of neuro-linguistic programming in shaping our physiology. Next, we discuss this unique point in time in humanity's evolution where we're on the brink of experiencing a quantum leap forward. We then discuss new discoveries in science helping to bridge the 3rd dimensional quantum physics paradigm with which we've grown accustomed to the 5th dimensional paradigm rooted in consciousness. We end the discussion on the importance of asking questions on the journey of self-discovery and the structure of the galactic federation.Music from the show is available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”. If you like the show, please drop a 5-star review and subscribe on Substack, Spotify, X, Apple, YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.Gretchen and I discuss a number of controversial topics in this interview. I adhere to the principle that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Because of this, I decided to write an outro and provide receipts for everything we covered. Three and a half years later, I realized it was just time to send it. So, I tabled that essay, although much of the research was leveraged in a piece I wrote a few months ago, “The Great Work”, episodes 88-89.

In 1516, the Ottomans defeated the mighty Mamluk Empire in the Middle East, taking control of Gaza. How did Ottoman forces roll out scorched-earth tactics on Gaza City to punish those who had rebelled against them? How did the citrus and cotton industries develop in Ottoman Palestine? What did the rise of nationalism at the turn of the twentieth century mean for Gaza and the surrounding region? Anita Anand and William Dalrymple are joined by Eugene Rogan, author of The Fall of The Ottomans, and Professor of Modern Middle Eastern History at The University of Oxford, to discuss Ottoman rule in Gaza, from the 1500s to the early 20th century.  Join the Empire Club: Unlock the full Empire experience – with bonus episodes, ad-free listening, early access to miniseries and live show tickets, exclusive book discounts, a members-only newsletter, and access to our private Discord chatroom.

The narrator tells us that Sonya and Dunya bonded yesterday, when Dunya came to visit and ask questions about what Raskolnikov said to her. Raskolnikov tells Sonya that he has come to collect his crucifix, and jokes that he now has to bare his cross. Sonya has Raskolnikov say a prayer before he leaves. Raskolnikov starts walking towards the police station, dreading the humiliation of a confession. He takes a detour to the Haymarket, remembering Sonya's suggestion that he declare his guilt at a crossroads. While walking to his seeming doom, he takes in every detail of the city, taking particular notice of a misspelt sign, saying to himself that he will need to remember it in Siberia. At the Haymarket, he kisses the ground, but people start to laugh at him just before his public confession can escape his lips. He notices Sonya following him at a distance and feels a renewed conviction. At the police station, Raskolnikov has a friendly chat with Ilya Petrovich, "Gunpowder," who apologises to him for being suspicious of him. Ilya Petrovich mentions that a man called Svidrigailov was found dead that morning and too stunned to give a response, Raskolnikov leaves without confessing. He head out of the building, and downstairs sees Sonya, prompting him to go back up and see Ilya Petrovich again, and finally, in a strange state of mind, confesses.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...Welcome to this narration of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's masterpiece, bringing you another chapter of this incredible literary classic. In this literary fiction reading, we explore the depths of Russian literature as the a desperate young Russian man, Raskolnikov, plans the perfect crime - the murder of a despicable pawnbroker, an old woman who no one will mourn.

What happens when the hunger for yield becomes an imperial mission? In this episode, we travel to the 18th and 19th centuries to explore two seemingly unrelated substances—gunpowder and guano. One shaped the battlefield. The other reshaped the farm. But both emerged from a growing belief that nature could be extracted, measured, and conquered. We trace the rise of nitrogen obsession, colonial fertilizer wars, and the passing of the Guano Islands Act—all moments that reveal how food systems were drafted into the logic of empire. Poet William Blake reminds us that even rivers and soil were being claimed, chartered, and commodified. His words—drawn from The Chimney Sweeper and London—anchor this episode in the moral undercurrent of ecological-industrial harm. This isn't just a history of weapons or fertilizer. It's a warning about what we begin to forget when we turn living systems into engines—and when we trade birdshit for blood.

In this episode of History 102, 'WhatIfAltHist' creator Rudyard Lynch and co-host Austin Padgett explore why gunpowder democratized Europe but enabled Asian autocracy, examining Hawaii, Ottoman, Ming, and Mughal empires to understand how identical technologies create divergent civilizational outcomes. -- SPONSOR: ZCASH | SHOPIFY | NETSUITE | ORACLE The right technology reshapes politics and culture toward freedom and prosperity.

Jack Kelly joins Alan on this episode of AMSEcast to talk about his book Gunpowder: Alchemy, Bombards, and Pyrotechnics. They discuss gunpowder's accidental invention in 10th-century China and its explosive mix of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. Kelly explains how gunpowder shaped science and warfare, fueling revolutions in physics, ending the era of castles, and powering colonial empires. Though once too expensive for civilian use, gunpowder later drove mining and infrastructure projects before being replaced by safer, more powerful explosives like dynamite. Kelly also previews his upcoming book on Thomas Paine, highlighting Paine's role as both Enlightenment thinker and Revolutionary soldier.   Guest Bio Jack Kelly is an award-winning historian, journalist, and novelist, as well as a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow. His work has appeared in publications like The Wall Street Journal and American Heritage, and he's been featured on NPR, PBS, and the History Channel.

The point of warfare is to kill and win, but the means to that end must be considered. The bloodlust of mankind is seldom, if ever, suppressed at the point of considering some advantage. Then again, warfare has been a history of unfair advantages through technological innovation hidden from the enemy. Tim and Andrew discuss some of those technological advances in history, our latest technological advance (drones), and the complexity of warfare. And, please, can we remember to pray for those who have to make the actual decisions about international relations and war?***Mentioned in the episode:Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise to Western Power by Victor Davis HansonFlannery O'Connor: "If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the bind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say, of faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long since cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber" (from A Memoir of Mary Ann).Modern Times by Paul Johnson***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

"Avoid every kind of evil!" 1 Thessalonians 5:22 Be careful to guard against all occasions of sin and evil. There is no safety without setting a watch against all that is likely to prove a stumbling-block.I read one day of the remarkable precautions which are taken to avoid danger in a gunpowder manufactory. The walls are all of stone, and no wood is allowed to be in the place. Anyone who walks through has to take off his shoes, lest the nails in them should strike a spark. Then, if he has any metal on him, he must leave it at the door. The danger is so great, that everything must be done to avoid any approach to it.Oh that Christians would take heed in a similar way to keep from the peril of sin! Keep far away from any approach to temptation. You have gunpowder hearts--so ready to ignite from the least spark! A look, a word, an evil example, a sentence in a book, a suggestion from a bad companion--any of these may be the cause of a world of mischief. Therefore, make it your firm resolve to keep out of harm's way.Beware of all places, and scenes, and people--that may turn you from the right course.Don't imagine you are strong enough to go, and get no harm. Better to keep far from the edge of the precipice. Better to keep out of the lion's reach! Better to keep from the long grass where the viper is coiled up! Stop while you can--or you may go so far that it may be impossible to escape. Be careful to guard well the various gates of access to the heart--and of egress into the world.Guard well the eye. Keep it from vanity. Remember that one look cost Achan his life--and a lustful look embittered the whole of David's years. Let the eye look straight onward,

If you want an ad-free experience, you can subscribe below underneath the show description.This episode follows up on a recent analysis of the idea that western civilization, or all civilization, was only possible because of Christianity. Expanding on this theme we will explore not merely "civilization," but the idea of morality as enshrined in social and legal systems, far predating the Ten Commandments. The previous show summary is provided here: There is an idea circulating online that only white, christian, western civilization delivered morality, cleanliness, safety, and intelligence to the world, along with the most beautiful women, cars, houses, etc., all the latter things of which are obviously subjective. This all sounds good to people who are told every day that they are racists and bigots. But before one could even consider such a thing seriously, they would first need to define terms like “white,” “christian,” and “western.” Much of this sentiment is rooted in the United States, which finds itself ranked out of the top ten for life expectancy, infant mortality, and overall healthcare, with a poor 79% literacy rate of which 54% are barely educated to a 6th grand level, and with an average IQ of 98. The U.S. is also increasingly famous for its crime and filth. Many things contribute to such low markers, including education, chemicals, and cultural priorities. Such markers change over time, too, though its seems much of the unspecific western world, i.e., the U.S., lives in the shadow of past greatness. The point is: white-christian-western ideas are not faulty, but not the end-all of civilization. From Iran to Russia, South Korea, Japan and Singapore, among many others, there are substantially higher IQ scores, with Japan leading at 106.58 for an average. There is also better healthcare quality and cost, with Japan leading in life expectancy and infant mortality. Outside Singapore, which has only a 19% Christian population, or South Korea with a 31% Christian population, Japan has only a 1.5% Christian population yet is considered the overall safest, cleanest, kindest, healthiest, highest IQ country in the world. By all accounts and the definition of “civilization,” these previous countries are more civilized than the United States. The meaning here is that white christianity is not needed to produce such a society. In fact, historically, many things now considered western or American are anything but that…. Gunpowder, ketchup, and paper came from China, rubber came from Mesoamerica, the wheel from Mesopotamia, Zero was derived by the Indians, and after the collapse of the western Roman Empire it was the Islamic Golden Age that kept, translated, and expanded upon medicine, philosophy, engineering, astronomy, and math (the Arabs giving us Algebra), ultimately preserving it for the later European Renaissance. By all measures “civilization” is a combination of humanity in both times of peace and war, with none holding the title for best. If the western world is largely based on Greek philosophy which merged with Roman philosophy, itself the first major superpower, then Christianity cannot be the foundation of the former because it was only adopted in the 4th-century during the final years of the western Roman Empire.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Jo Stalnaker, US Air Force veteran, former Defense Contractor and Owner / Pitmaster of Ranch & Rifle, who discusses the challenges he and other veterans face transitioning to civilian life and how starting a food blog and then launching a veteran-owned company focused on popular spice rubs and blends became a way to connect with others and provide mental health benefits to other veterans. During the interview, Jo talks about how he was able to find solace in cooking, hunting and fishing, and how that led him to start a food blog featuring game meat and wild-caught fish. Jo discusses the importance of brotherhood in the service, emphasizing how it shapes individuals into part of something bigger than themselves. He highlights the challenges faced by veterans, including transitional stress, post-traumatic stress, and the effects of war. Jo notes that veterans tend to isolate when stressed and may have a rougher demeanor, but they care deeply about others.Jo then shares the inspiration behind their spice rubs and blends, including the Gunpowder and Hot Honey Rubs, which have been well-received. He also discusses the Mediterranean-inspired All-Purpose Rub and their Memphis-style Barbecue Rub. Jo mentions a new spicy rub, Chipotle Soy Honey, set to launch in the next two weeks. Jo talks about the growth of the company and their higher purpose of creating a space for veterans to reconnect and share their love for cooking, and to support various nonprofit organizations and veteran-owned businesses. He highlights the company's support of various organizations, including Irreverent Warriors, River Deep Foundation, and Camp Bullwheel Accessible Outdoors. Jo also mentions their efforts to support other small veteran-owned businesses through social media campaigns.Visit https://www.ranchandrifle.com to learn more about Ranch & Rifle and to shop their spices, rubs, and other merchandise.

Jay Sage is an award-winning Oklahoma based artist showing and working both nationally and internationally. He is represented in prestigious collections and strives to produce work that conveys a broad spectrum of feelings. Feelings such as loneliness, vanity, greed, hope, and even contentment permeate his imagery. He visually paves a highway into the emotional world by creating empathy in the viewer. The use of vivid contrast, and his near-graphic style, create a visual biography around the subject that shows who they are, and where they've been. His ever-changing body of work utilizes a vast array of mediums and textures (such as gunpowder, tar, gold leaf etc...), while putting classic and biblical subjects in a contemporary setting. https://www.instagram.com/sage_art/?hl=en Huge thank you to our sponsors.

Welcome to the 16th year of The Fly Fishing Consultant Podcast. Rob, Misty, and Producer Jason embarked on a day excursion to The Gunpowder River located near Baltimore, Maryland. The climate was chilly and arid, featuring a predominantly clear sky. Their objective was to locate trout that were rising to insects and aim for those fish using a selection of dry flies. This marks the first occasion for Rob and Jason to fish this renowned river. Throughout his many years of fly fishing, Rob has never expressed interest in this specific river. Tune in as he shares stories about breakfast at Misty's, finding Jason at the river, galavanting through the woods, and the lunch spot they found after navigating over boulders all morning.
