Stumped.

As Jerry took off earlier this season to do some tree planting, he returned a couple weeks ago with his buddy Evan. - Somehow we got back on the topic of breast milk again. - They tell me an interesting story about their day off. - We talk about hauling firewood in the Yukon. - They tell me all about the bar in the Yukon that has the "toe shots". - And we may have talked about hypnotism for a little too long.

For the 40th episode milestone, returning guest Amos Mercier joins me in the brushing camp just outside of Hudson's Hope, BC. - We talk about a lot of stuff from work to art to feelings to relationships to current things and life and what not and he plays some tunes at the end. - So much fun! - Have a listen!

It's been a year since Stumped podcast has been launched! So it only seems appropriate to bring on the original podcast co hosts, Catman and Emmett Chisholm, or as they prefer to be called, Chud and Ruben Steventon. - We talk about the Steventon legacy. - We talk about pets and pet breeding. - We talk about girls. - We talk about embarrassing things from high school. - And we talk about a whole bunch of other shit. - We talked for a while, like 2.5 hours. - Most of it is nonsense but damn we had a good time!!

Finally summoning up the courage to do an episode by myself. I play a few tunes on the banjo. - I talk about taking a step back from my foreman duties to becoming just a brusher. - I talk about Scruggs, my trailer home, biking, my banjo and other things. - It's a stream of consciousness episode but pretty fun actually!

After last episodes train wreck, we shoot for redemption and bring in some co workers. - Amos Rosen is my good friend from the old time music community but a rookie to bush work. - Jerry is from the Yukon, owns a planting company called Yeti to Plant, just became a dad, and was even on my podcast last year but I lost the episode. - We talk about finding weed hook ups at local skateparks before it was legal. - We make up RV names that better suit the "anal" travel game. - And somehow we end on getting our Covid vaccination via Jerry's wife's breast milk. Enjoy.

We learn an important lesson on this one. Don't podcast after work. We were tired and not witty and didn't have much to say. Catman made a sad attempt at his anime character, Dayton Fukyama. He bailed 10 seconds in. We talk about nothing for awhile, give some shout outs, talk about boring stuff some more and end early.

We're back in the brushing camp and my original co-host, Catman is with me and he hasn't changed one bit. - High on oil, he tells a crazy story about an accident during his fall and burn contract this past winter. - He also tells about his cougar encounter. - I call my mom for mothers day but Catman refused to call his mom. - We talk about Scruggs the dog and how good of a boy he is. - Catman announces that he is going to acting school and is also providing a sexual health corner where he answers your questions about sexual health. 

Email your questions to Catman to [email protected] and we will read them on the next podcast.

After a month long break we are back with a fun one! Songwriter and host of Victoria's "Hootenanny"  Carolyn Mark joins me with her guitarist Britt Hibbert.  I find my podcast legs again as we shoot the shit, pick some original tunes, talk about farms and eats scones by our top Stumped podcast supporter Mela Saclarides. They were delicious thanks Mela!

As we kick this one off with a beautiful Celtic song by Siarimis, I am distracted with a phone call by Tereza who is lost in the woods! - I am kind of annoyed and may have said some offensive things. - Meanwhile, Luke and Kess continue to educate me on the nature of Irish music tradition. - They play like 8 songs throughout the episode. - I kind of handed over the reigns to them on this one. - Enjoy the guitars and flutes and accordions! - We update Tereza's situation throughout the episode. - She eventually found her way.
