- Joel SolomonWhat can I tell you about Joel Solomon that you might not find out via a Google search? Well, he is as nice in person as he appears to be on camera. Joel is the author of 'The Clean Money Revolution - Reinventing Power, Purpose, and Capitalism'. He is also a true pioneer of responsible finance and has dedicated his life's work to making wealth do as little harm as possible. We sat down with Joel at his home on Cortes Island, BC and had a little chat about life, death, clean money, fiction, happiness, the past, the future, and what it takes to not be a terrible ancestor. We are glad to have met Joel and are proud to bring you this episode.

- Michael AblemanOur conversation with Michael Ableman was an honor and a treat for us. Michael is, in the truest sense of the word, a farmer. We met him at his farm on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia. When we arrived (in the middle of planting season), Michael was on his hands and knees, planting strawberries and working the dirt. When he isn't actually farming, he is writing books, taking beautiful photos, lecturing and consulting around the world, and managing an urban agriculture project in the city of Vancouver. As two people who have quit working to go have fun and play around, being with such a hardworking and driven individual was an inspiration.LINKSMichael's BooksMichael's WebsiteSole Food Street FarmTunes In This EpisodeOscar Aleman - DelicadoJose Gonzalez - Stay in the ShadePaul & Linda McCartney - Ram onAlash Ensemble - Tractor Drivin' WomanJ.J.

- On The HiyuThese two characters, Jeff and David, are the brains, brawn, hair skin and nails behind Seattle's newest floating venue - The Hiyu. We talked about magic, acrobatics, boats, bars, and bris. Give this one a listen if you want to be inspired to take on your next challenge.48 min
- Will (Oculus)This one is a rollercoaster ride, for sure. We met Will at the bottom of a 600' granite wall, in the town of Index, WA. Will has an enormous personality, fueled by a love for life, and an intensely personal relationship to death, pain, and trauma. We laughed, we cried, and we let Pelé do all the emotional heavy lifting in this one.54 min
- Russ Yuly
Russ Yuly stopped by our van to tell us about the worst day of his life. We were happy to turn on the mics and listen in while he wove his yarn through our brains and into our hearts. This type of encounter is exactly what we had in mind when we set out to meet interesting people and share their stories with anyone willing to listen to them. Welcome to Monkey Tooth!
This episode resonates pretty close to home for us. As you may know, we lived in an RV for the last 3 1/2 years. We recently sold that RV to some friends and neighbors. Since selling it, a massive water leak was discovered, and upon further inspection, it turns out the leak ruined a substantial amount of the sub-floor. As you can imagine, this has been upsetting to our friends who bought the RV from us, and has been deeply unsettling to us, as we would never have sold the thing if we had known about the leak and water damage. This saga is ongoing, and will require quite a bit of expense on our part, and no small amount of inconvenience to our friends.
As we listened to Russ tell his tale (trying desperately to ignore the mid-level anxiety of our own lingering troubles), we were reminded everything is temporary, and, if you live through it, you win!
I think we will all live through the ordeal of our old RV. Thanks for the reminder, Russ!

59 min - Old Apple FarmOld Apple Farm (Trevor, Mike, Gregg and Dave)What can I say about this group of dudes? These four have gone the distance and are pursuing their dreams with every bit of their ingenuity, effort, passion, drive, and basically every word you have ever seen on an ad for a supplement, a boner pill or workout routine. Do you have an interest in cannabis? Have you ever smoked grass? If not, don't worry, being a pot-head is not required to enjoy this episode. If you have an interest in hearing a team of individuals working together to succeed in the face of long odds, you will enjoy this. If you are interested in botany, biology, horticulture, sustainability, or organic farming, there is plenty here for you. If you just like to imagine four hot dudes sharing one thick black microphone, passed roughly back and forth between them, then you are in for a treat!1 hr 28 min
- Ross Evans (Xtracycle)This episode of the MTP is with the creator and CEO of Xtracycle, a family-commuter-utility longtail bicycle company. Ross was kind enough to invite us over to his home to record with us. We talk bicycles, socially responsible business practices, podcasting, trusting your intuition, navigating our own hypocrisy, and getting horny on a bike. Ross is an EdgeRunner, a pioneer, and according to his two kids (Kale and Ike, ages 7 and 1), he is one part fish, one part beaver, two parts owl, three parts monkey, one part turtle, one part lion, 3.14 parts dragon. and constitutionally unemployable.

- Christina & Ellie (Mommy & Mama)In the second part of our two-part series on non-traditional parenting, (and only two days after mother's day) we struck Mom-gold! These two ladies are great moms and have a special tale to tell. We sat down with Ellie and Christina in their home in Marin, County and talked about breaking a leg in New York City, finding love, and what it takes to be a mom when your partner is also a mom.1 hr 21 min
- Peter FunchBefore we left on our journey, we got a chance to sit down in the van (behind The Boom-Boom Room, no less) with our new friend Peter. Peter is a skilled physical therapist, a personal trainer, a Dane, a world traveler, and a hopeful father to be! Check-in and learn a little something about the trials of becoming a gay dad through surrogacy!1 hr 1 min
- Dr. Christopher Ryan
Our guest today is the one and only, Dr. Christopher Ryan. You may know him as the host of the popular podcast, Tangentially Speaking, or as the New York Times Best Selling Author of "Sex at Dawn". Andrew took an 8-hour drive to Topanga Canyon to hang out with Dr. Ryan. You may be asking yourself, "HOW IN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?" Well, Dr. Chris Ryan ain't afraid of no stranger from the internet, that's how! We talked sex, Sprinter vans, disaster sociology, influential teachers, poop, and much more.
Don't be a dick...get in the van...and have a good time!
