Inappropriate Questions is how I end every show. The idea is that I find a friend of my guest and record 3 questions with them. The questions can be anything that gets the guest to tell a funny, crazy, embarrassing or really, any good story. The goal is to get some gold without pissing off my  guest when I surprise them with the questions. This week, I have a long list of legends on this highlight show.  Think Angel and Johnny Collinson, Stan Rey, Uncle E, Matt Reardon, Jaren Grob, Jeff Pensiero, Kevin Quinn, and many more. This is a fan favorite segment of the show, and the final "Best Of" show.

Eroll Kerr's professional ski career is actually two ski careers.  A race part, where he was so close to making the World Cup and the US Alpine Ski Team and the other was his ski cross career, which was kick-started when he became a fully funded member of the US Ski Cross Team in his first race. Eroll has competed all over the world, raced for Jamaica in the 2010 Olympics, and was a regular at the X-Games. But, while his life seemed perfect, it hasn't always been, and we talk about the highs of winning, the lows of mental health issues, and everything in between.  Connery Lundin and I ask the Inappropriate Questions Eroll Kerr Show Notes: 4:00: The cover of Ski Magazine, Jamacia roots, Bay Area, growing up rich, BMX and Moto, moving to Truckee, losing his dad, racing and talent in Tahoe 20:00: Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better.

For a long time, fire research in the moist forests of the Pacific Northwest was dominated by two main assertions: that wildfires in the West Cascades are typically "high-severity, low frequency" (in other words, primarily characterized by stand-replacing fires that don't happen very often), and that Indigenous burning largely took place in prairies, river valleys and low-lying oak ecosystems. But extensive tree ring sampling over the last decade has shown that, in fact, these long-held assertions aren't telling the entire story. Our guest for this episode is Dr. Andrew Merschel, who is a post-doc at Oregon State University and lead scientist/co-director of the Tree Ring Lab at OSU. Andrew has spent years studying fire histories in the moist, doug fir, hemlock and cedar-dominated forests of the West Cascades by analyzing stumps and tree core samples across the PNW. His work with the Tree Ring Lab has called to question many of our longest-held assumptions about how fires burned in the Pacific Northwest prior to colonization—and the takeaway is that it's not nearly as straightforward as we once thought.  Andrew spoke about how fire "edits" forests over time, how these "edits" are crucial to the development of biodiversity, mature trees and old growth stands, and how we can use what we now know about "Westside" fire histories to inform management practices and wildfire resilience measures. We also spoke about how fire history on the Westside is not spatially or temporally stable, and that it doesn't operate on a cyclical basis; he and his team of research assistants and grad students have found, time and again, that fire histories can change based on what side of a ridge they're on, what part of a watershed they're in, what aspect they're at—making it a fascinating place to research how fire has interacted with the landscape over the last millennia. As Andrew says in this episode: "[In the East Cascades], I can tell you we'll find fire every 15 years at every site we go to. On the Westside it's an adventure, you don't know the story of each place until you get out there."  We also spoke about how this research intersects with Indigenous history, how it can be used to inform management decisions, and how Andrew's team collaborates with community groups, tribes, land management agencies and others to help them establish a better understanding of fire history in specific areas.  If you've ever had questions about how research can inform forest management decisions, about how researchers discern between Indigenous fire use and lightning-caused fires, or how we come to understand a place's relationship with fire over time, this is the episode for you.  To learn more about the Tree Ring Lab, check out their website and consider reading up on some of their recent (and fascinating!) research from the West Cascades.  To support Life with Fire, consider donating to our Patreon, writing us a review on Apple Podcasts, or telling a friend about us! 

Before the adaptation, Denis Johnson's novella won the "O' Henry" and was a finalist for the Pulitzer for what critic Anthony Doerr hailed as an "American epic writ small." In episode 385, join writer Luke Elliott and filmmaker James Bailey as they explore Johnson's Hemingway-esque prose style, unpack the ambiguity of the supernatural, find meaning by letting go of the search for it, and discuss the dark history around the railroad's construction in the PNW. Join them again next week when they compare the novella to the film by Clint Bentley starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones!

In this episode, host and Master Sommelier Chris Tanghe interviews Holly Robinson on building a spirits brand. Holly worked in restaurants before cofounding Seattle-based Captive Spirits in 2011 with partner Ben Capdevielle. Together they developed Big Gin, a London Dry style that has won many awards since its inception, then expanded their bottlings to include Bourbon Barreled Big Gin and Peat Barreled Big Gin. In 2016, Hood River Distillers acquired the brand.    Holly next launched Fast Penny Spirits, an American Amaro lineup also produced in Seattle with business partner Jamie Hunt. Dubbed Amaricano, it uses Pacific Northwest ingredients while paying homage to Jamie's Sicilian roots. Today, Holly consults for numerous PNW companies with her latest company, Fathom 35, and owns Sunny Hill restaurant in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood.  Thanks for listening.

If you've ever stared at a shrinking salmon season and wondered who decides this stuff—and why—this episode is for you. Jamie sits down with Gabe Miller, longtime fishing buyer and 14-year member of the Puget Sound Sport Fishing Advisory Group, to pull back the curtain on North of Falcon, the models behind your seasons, and the one 30-second habit that could actually help. You'll walk away understanding the system better than 99% of anglers out there.Episode Overview:How North of Falcon, the feds, the tribes, and Canada all have to line up before your inside seasons get setWhy the $3 billion economic value of WA sport fishing keeps getting ignoredWhat VTRs are and how filling them out honestly protects future seasonsWhy "don't tell the fish checker anything" is quietly hurting all of usHow the advisory group really works—and why those hallway relationships matterThe real bottleneck in the whole season-setting process (it's not what you'd think)Timestamps: 00:00 – Meet Gabe Miller & his PNW fishing background 00:02 – The serendipitous path to becoming a fishing buyer 00:05 – The $3 billion sport fishing economy nobody credits 00:11 – How losing steelhead opportunity pulled him into advocacy 00:12 – ESA, Hood Canal & how salmon stocks get managed 00:18 – Getting involved: joining the advisory group 00:24 – What VTRs are and why they matter 00:29 – The 30-second habit that protects your season 00:31 – Inside the Puget Sound Sport Fishing Advisory Group 00:38 – How the North of Falcon process actually works 00:41 – The real bottleneck: timing 00:44 – Gabe's epic fishing story with his sonKey Takeaways:WA sport fishing drives $3 billion, 17,000 jobs, and $275M in tax revenue—and rarely gets credit for it.Telling the fish checker "I caught nothing" feels clever but sabotages next year's season.Filling out a VTR honestly takes 30 seconds and genuinely helps the department manage seasons.The advisory group carries no formal weight, but the relationships built there move the needle.The biggest problem with season-setting isn't the science—it's the compressed last-minute timing.Getting involved beats complaining online every single time.Resources & Links:WDFW Fishing Regulations: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulationsNorth of Falcon process info: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/management/north-falconPacific Fishery Management Council: https://www.pcouncil.orgVTR Form https://str.wdfw-fish.us/home FREE Salmon Training: https://anglersunlimited.co/3-essential-luresJoin the Gold waitlist: https://anglersunlimited.co/goldWant the full structured learning experience?

Is spring actually showing up in the Pierce County real estate market — or is this the quietest "selling season" we've seen in years?In this episode of Inside Abode, host Dave Jones sits down with Jeff Tucker, Windermere Real Estate's Principal Economist, to break down what the latest Northwest MLS data really means for buyers, sellers, and agents across Pierce County and the greater Puget Sound.The headlines: closed sales are down 2% year-over-year, but pending sales are up 3%. New listings surged 14%, leaving 30% more active inventory than last April. The median sale price dipped about $5,000 — more evidence that PNW prices have stayed remarkably stable while other markets swing.Jeff walks us through the regional split too. Snohomish County closed sales dropped 15%. King County's median slipped 7% to $1,030,000. We talk about what that means for sellers trying to price right, for buyers who finally have options, and for the most balanced market we've seen in years.Spring is still a strong window to list — but the playbook has changed. More inventory means buyers are choosier, pricing matters more, and presentation wins.

Jeff Pensiero is a talented snowboarder and musician, but he was born to be an entrepreneur...and he knew that from an early age. Jeff grew up learning to move on after losing, which every pre Lebron Cleveland sports fan knows all about. Not being afraid to lose along with many traits taught Jeff not only to roll with the punches and preservere, but to take advantage of the opportunities and take risks that make him happy. And from Kemper to K2, to being "The Guy with a Truck" to founding and building Baldface Lodge in his 20's, Jeff's life is all about moving forward and not looking back.  On the podcast we talk about building snowboarding in Tahoe for K2, chasing a girl to Canada, founding a lodge, Travis Rice, Craig Kelly, and more. Jeff does a lot of interviews, this one is a little different.  Old School K2 Pro and rad dude, Tim Manning asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Send Mo a text about this episode!So... last month my partner Tom noticed I had a black hole on my chest- lined with a moving, purple energy. LOL! Welcome to this Solo With Mo episode on the I love it when podcast! This episode is packed with a few of my most recent "energy experiences" + my first LIVE Coaching call with special guest- Zara Smith. I had the idea this last Monday to email my database and ask if anyone wanted to volunteer to be coached live on my podcast- and I got 10 volunteers! This seems like something people are excited to participate in- so I'll probably be doing it again. I chose Zara because of her topic and the fact that she's not an entrepreneur. Often times when people hear the word "Coach" they think of the Coaches that work in sports or they think "Business Coach". And the truth is that I work with all sorts! Right now I'm currently Coaching someone who is retired- and I LOVE IT! I love the variety. Zara's desire was to be coached on the topic of letting her guard down and looking at why her heart space is a bit blocked. I know that a lot of people can relate to this. In this episode I talk about:The black hole aka "Transmutation Chamber" Tom helped me discover that I created when I was a kid to help people feel better.How I often get a migraine the day I'm speaking in front of a roomful of people- and how I work to block that energy and remove the migraine. My increasing awareness around feeling other people's energy.The last 60 minutes is my live Coaching call with Zara- where we end up utilizing the Emotion Code to remove her heart wall. Please comment on this video/post and let us know what you think! My goal from sharing this live Coaching call is to give you an idea of what it FEELS like to work with me. Thank you to Zara for allowing us to share her experience ❤️Get on Mo's newsletter: www.iloveitwhen.orgTo explore Coaching with Mo, email: Mo@iloveitwhen.orgTo try the Lifewave patches: https://www.lifewave.com/pillaroflight*************************************Hello! You're listening to I love it when...

Host Dave Jones sits down with Marguerite Martin — founder of MoveToTacoma.com, fair housing champion, and now part of the Windermere Abode family.Marguerite launched MoveToTacoma.com in 2015 when "niching down to one city" felt crazy. Eleven years later, it's one of the most trusted local real estate resources in the PNW.We get into why "what's the best neighborhood?" is a loaded question most buyers don't realize they're asking, how realtors literally segregated America, and what steering really looks like in 2026. Plus: handling Facebook trolls, civic accountability in a city small enough that everyone knows the mayor, and why Marguerite calls Tacoma "Shangri-La."

A returning guest brings one of the most intense Bigfoot Society updates yet.

Anxiety is real—and for many of us, it's something we face every single day. In this message, Pastor Brandon shares a powerful and personal look at anxiety—what causes it, how it affects us, and what Scripture says about it. Through a compelling story and honest insight, you'll see how anxiety can cause us to trust our feelings over truth—and how God invites us to something better. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, on edge, or stuck in your thoughts, this message will remind you that you're not alone—and that peace is possible. You'll also be challenged to replace fear and distrust with truth, and to anchor your life in the promises of God found in Psalm 23. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Welcome + Introduction 0:41 – Women's Conference Recap + Youth Ministry Highlight 1:50 – Introducing the Topic: Anxiety 2:20 – Overview of the “Stressed” Series 3:15 – Living in Grace Through This Series 3:47 – Philippians 4:6 – “Do Not Be Anxious” 4:51 – Story: JFK Jr. Plane Crash (Trusting Feelings vs Truth) 6:34 – What Anxiety Really Is 7:37 – How Anxiety Affects Your Mind and Body 8:31 – Types of Anxiety (Mayo Clinic Breakdown) 10:17 – Personal Story: 17 Phobias + Overcoming Fear 11:16 – Social Anxiety + Real-Life Examples 12:10 – What Triggers Anxiety 13:38 – Caffeine, Medication, and Lifestyle Factors 14:30 – Financial Stress + Living in the PNW 15:01 – Social Settings + Personality Differences

Acid embodies both a playful and hypnotic spirit. Two qualities I think engage and light up a dance floor. In this mix I tried to strike a balance between tracks with interesting sound design, midwest flavoured techno groove and wack out acid lines! DJ Hockey loves music that is strange, beautiful, and energetic. By selecting tracks designed to stimulate both your brain and body, his sets slowly unfurl and reveal a kaleidoscope of colours and emotions. He integrates his queer essence into mixes by selecting tracks with bite and sass —whether that be a jacking and energetic percussive loop, sultry low-end energy, or intriguing ear candy. One thing is certain when experiencing a DJ Hockey set: you're going IN! With well received releases including his debut vinyl release on Fixed Rhythms, in addition to various digital EP's on PPRZ and Modelfuture, DJ Hockey is propelling his signature brand of warp speed techno with his productions and is working on more for 2026. DJ Hockey started PPRZ records and mix series with Adam 2 with the intention to showcase techno from the PNW and beyond.
