Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Recording in BC: Homie Vibes & Canadian Hospitality (00:00–01:20)

• The crew sets up in Carter’s garage in Revelstoke: “half gym, half bar, half shop,” for a uniquely Canadian ambiance.
• Brett Turcotte returns as the first-ever recurring guest, lauded for bringing the crew out to show them around.

2. The Revelstoke Landmark Incident (01:21–09:01)

• Accident Recap: While attempting to take a simple thumbnail photo, a crew member borrows Brett’s brand-new $30,000 snowmobile. Due to a sticky throttle, the sled rockets forward, crashing into and destroying the local snow depth measuring stick—a landmark famous to North American snowmobilers.

  "Throttle sticks wide open. Wide open. On an 850 boost, the thing pretty much rockets out from underneath me. It plows over this, like, landmark of a snow depth meter." – A, 02:29

• Reactions: Crew reactions oscillate between disbelief and humor. Local bystanders are less amused. Brett tries to explain the gravity:

  “Any snowmobiler in North America has looked at that camera and said, like, how much snow is in Revelstoke?” – Brett, 02:53

  "There was a guy that was like, huh, nice move, guys. Idiots…Do you not realize the severity of the situation here?" – Brett, 06:09

• Aftermath: The accident triggers a crowd, with some spectators assuming it was staged for a stunt video. The crew reflects on how real mishaps often overshadow even the most intense stunts.

• Notable Quote:

  "No bad publicity is better than no publicity." – Brett, 08:52

3. Snowmobiling Safety & Rescue Stories (09:16–16:00)

• Brett shares his protocols for safety in the backcountry—satellite communication devices, rescue plans, and recent rescue anecdotes.

  "We were out on a ride the other day and I got an in reach message…dude, we're down in a creek. Like, we're messed up." – Brett, 10:08

• Night Rides: The crew discusses the adrenaline and anxiety of snowmobiling at night, with stories of accidental near-overnighters and the importance of grit and problem-solving.

  "My will to survive, my will to conquer is way stronger than my will to just like, okay, we're staying the night…I am scratching and clawing my way out of anything or everything that I can, you know?" – Brett, 16:42

4. Grit, Injuries & The Never Quit Mentality (16:58–23:14)

• Brett reflects on growing up in a logging family, translating that grit into snowmobiling and competition.

• Discussion of horrific injuries—Brett’s broken femur, tailbone, ankle, and a near-fatal internal bleed.

  "I lost 60% of my blood…I was just pretty much driving around dead." – Brett, 21:22

• Athlete culture: high-level riders rarely let injuries stop them, but the wear is felt with age.

5. Canadian vs. American Culture and Comedy (24:30–33:44)

• Enter Carter Hill, owner of Stoked Mountain Adventures, who is playfully dubbed “the most Canadian person I know.”

• The group riffs on Canadian accents, road quality, weather, and the unique snowmobile culture of Revelstoke.

• On comedy:

  "American comedy, American movies, American commercials are way more funny than Canadian." – Carter, 31:51

• Banter about the “Nelk boys” popularizing Canadian slang among U.S. frat boys.

6. Canadian Food, Candy, & Patriotism (41:01–55:47)

• Hilarious, meandering debates about Smarties vs. Rockets, Canadian sweets, and which nation has more bizarre snack options.

• Canadian patriotism versus American flag fanaticism; jokes about maple leaves being Canada’s default logo.

  "What's up with, like, every business feeling that they need to put a maple leaf on their logo or just on the front of their building?" – A, 54:47

  "Americans go hard. Very patriotic." – Carter, 55:41

7. The Grind of Content Creation & Sled Life (34:00–35:56)

• The realities of being a YouTube snowmobiler: filming, editing, uploading daily. Carter respects the hustle but has no desire to live it full-time.

  "Every day. Get home, upload your footage, edit it, upload the video, have a thumbnail every night, get up the next day, do it all again. That sounds literally terrible." – A, 34:39

8. Injuries, Health, & Accessing Medical Care in Canada (52:07–54:41)

• Amusing but real worries about navigating Canadian healthcare as Americans, mixed with jokes about paying in “maple syrup or beaver pelts.”

9. Friendship, Progress & Group Dynamics (50:44–60:53)

• The later segment features more friends joining, swapping injury stories, inside jokes, and celebrating each other’s riding progress.

  "Your riding has progressed so much, and I am so stoked for you guys…now it's like we're in the [mountains] and you guys are right there behind us." – Dave, 56:36

• They roast each other about lost gear, cramping forearms, and getting lost on the mountain.

10. Concussion Recovery & Wellness (39:00–40:44)

• Carter elaborates on his struggles with concussion symptoms, brain fog, and expensive treatment.

  "A week long is expensive. It was like, I bet, 150 grand Canadian." – Carter, 40:25

[A]

All right, we rolling?

[B]

We're rolling.

[A]

All right, guys, the set looks a little bit different today because we're currently in British Columbia. Revelstoke, to get specific with it, set up on a podcast in our buddy Carter's garage right now. It's like a half gym, half bar, half shop garage. We figured all of our homies are in town, our Canadian buddies, so we should rip a pod, because it's gonna be pretty funny.

[B]

Yeah, we're going. The Life Wide Open podcast has gone international.

[A]

We finally came to you, and we got Brett Turcotte on here, first guest in the hotspot over here, which is, funny enough. This is your second time on the podcast.

[C]

Yeah. Thank you guys so much for giving me the shout out. And get me. Get me in on this one. It should be fun.

[B]

I think you're the first ever reoccurring guest.

[C]

That's cool.

[D]

Yeah, actually, you are.

[A]

Whoa.

[D]

No, but we got to thank you for bringing us out, showing us around.

[E]

Well, we talked about it kind of.

[C]

Like, all summer, right? I feel like we planted the seed in the spring, and I was like, man, the borders are going to open up, and you guys are going to have to come and see what revelstoke, or burst Columbia, for that matter, is all out.

[D]

So we flew in here, which was really nice. We didn't have to drive vip, man.

[C]

Why wouldn't you?

[D]

That's what it feels like, dude. Everything here feels like vip.

[C]

Carter's got the spot.

[D]

Stoked is the stoked Mountain bazaars.

[A]

Let's just talk about what happened today. Let's just get it out of the way.

[C]

Out of the room.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[F]

So.

[A]

So we've been riding for the past three days, and it's been really insane. Like, deep snow, insane mountains, steepness. Pretty much the gnarliest of the gnarly you can get into on. On snowmobiles, right? So we're in the. Basically the most flat level parking lot, the easiest thing we have done the entire trip, right? I go, hey, Brett, can I borrow your snowmobile to take a thumbnail picture? And he goes, yeah, buddy, of course. Just be careful, though. The throttle has a little bit of ice in it, so it might stick. So just in case, wear this tether around your wrist. And I was like, okay.

[F]

All right.

[A]

Well, it should be fine. I'm literally just pulling it, like, three feet on flatness. I should have much to worry about here, right? And so, sure enough, I hop on it and pulling it around, and I'm like, oh, it. I can feel A little bit of stickiness in this throttle. Right. And then there was like, a little mound because I was trying to get up next to this measuring stick because I thought it looked good in the thumbnail. Right. And to get up this mound, I give it a little bit more pepper. Throttle sticks wide open. Wide open. On an 850 boost, the thing pretty much rockets out from underneath me. It plows over this, like, landmark of. Of a snow depth meter. Right.

[C]

Any snowmobiler in North America has looked at that camera and said, like, how much snow is in revel stoke.

[A]

Yeah. Plows through this. This six inch tree that the. That the measuring stick is bolted to.

[B]

Keep in mind, the tree is 15ft tall, and it's buried about like 8ft, right?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Breaks the tree clean in half. And then the sled. Luckily, I had the tether on my wrist. The sled then dies after. But it would. It had gotten so much speed. It.

[D]

No, it was fully airborne.

[A]

It was fully airborne.

[C]

I have, like, the perfect mental image.

[D]

In my brain right now.

[C]

Like, I'm waiting for Elon to just, like, pull my SD card so we could put that into the computer.

[G]

Dude.

[A]

So seriously?

[G]

Honestly.

[A]

Yeah, we need that. We need that. So, yeah, we have Mike. Mike is over there taking photos because we weren't planning on.

[C]

Big bummer.

[D]

I'm pointing. I'm pointing a camera right at you as this all happened. Pointing it at the scene with a wide angle, it would have got it all. But I'm in photo.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. My jaw has never been lower on the floor than seeing you do that today.

[A]

So I do that. The snowmobile rockets out, hits the. Hits the pole, snaps it in half. I'm then laying on the ground in sheer disbelief of what just happened. And the first thing I do is, like, check my body. Like, I'm good. I didn't get hit by the tree coming down or hit a tree in the process. Luckily, I kind of bailed early.

[D]

Dude, you were white as a ghost.

[A]

Oh, yeah, I was. I was, like, extremely rattled. Casper 1. I was. I was worried about Brett's sled. It's like a $30,000 snowmobile. And. And I just launched it into a specifically built.

[B]

And also. What? Brand new this week?

[C]

Yeah. I mean, it's like, not even out of break in mode yet.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm still continually putting parts on it.

[A]

Which we put on a new bumper last night, which is good timing. But I'm like, the snowmobile. And then I'm like, oh, my God, what did I just hit? I'm, like, looking over and I see two pieces of yellow laying in. I'm like, oh, I just plowed through that meter stick. And then I look up and there's like 40 people in the parking lot.

[C]

There's people, like, staring, piling out of the cabin.

[A]

Yeah. Then people start coming out of this cabin. So I guess to give a little reference, this cabin in British Columbia is, like, one of the most legendary spots to go. Like, everyone knows what the cabin is if they've written in the area or, like you said, checked the webcam, because there's a webcam on top of the cabin that points at this metering stick that is live 24 hours a day. So at any point you can check, hey, did they get snow? I mean, look at the metering stick. Boom.

[C]

Hey, did Ben.

[A]

Why is it. Why is the metering stick all of a sudden 4ft smaller? Did we get 4ft of snow or what happened? So I'm just figuring out what happened. I'm like, oh, my God, this is insane. Right? And. And I'm like, mike, turn that camera, bro. Because Michael's just taking pictures. I was like, record, record. And Mike turns it on. I'm like, trying to figure out, like, still what's going on. Turkey comes up and he's like, you good? My sled. You good?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm like. I'm, like, looking around, and then pretty soon I just see a block, swarm block of people moving in. And nobody was, like, smiling.

[C]

There was a guy that was like, huh, Nice move, guys. Idiots. And I looked at him, I was like, pardon? Like, my $30,000 snowmobile just ghost road into that thing. Like, you think that this was real? There would be cameras rolling everywhere, and for one, am I going to loan you my brand new players boost to just go kamikaze it through a six inch tree?

[A]

Like.

[B]

All of them.

[C]

And so I, like, looked at this guy and I was like, do you not realize the, like, severity of the situation here? Well, man, like, somebody's got to come up here and fix this thing. I was like, we got it. I have to go over there, make sure my buddy's alive. Like, it looks like all of the blood left his face and went to.

[A]

His feet, like, playing on the ground.

[C]

And so that guy was just like, he was so buttered because, I mean, jokingly so. Like, he was probably gonna wonder how much snow we got tonight because it's snowing right now. So he's like, he's gonna be like, so put off by the fact that the Stick is like four feet lower, dude.

[B]

People are gonna look at the camera and go, holy, there's 13ft of snow.

[D]

You know, the best part is everyone that was outside was, like, hyped on it. Whatever, you know, they. No, I mean, like, most of them that came up were like, oh, it's crazy. And then everyone that went into the cabin were like, they didn't want to. Like, I'm not going into the cabin.

[A]

I don't want.

[D]

And I was like, I think that's where the crowd a little upset. And so I went in there, and then some guy's like, yeah, Turcot's always bringing all his amateur buddies around. And I was like, in that situation, it's really funny because we're the amateur.

[A]

But it was. I thought it was also pretty funny that there was people, like, coming up and they're like, hey, yeah, we're subs and everything. I was like, man, these people gotta think that we're just so stupid.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, they gotta be like, damn, these kids are, like, always just doing this. Huh? Like, fake. It's not fake. They're not putting on a. On a show, acting like they are this stupid, you know? I don't know. I think it was. It was just probably came off, like, refreshing for them to know. God, yeah.

[C]

But you know what, dude? The video's gonna come out, and it's like, you guys were shredding, and where we were today was like, you did a sick drop. Evan did like a half a backflip off a drop. Spencer hit a drop on his snow.

[A]

Like, no, I did the day.

[C]

Guys are like, lack of skill. That was just like, man, some things are just meant to happen. Or that was like, camera was off, unfortunately. But just the way it's just like, it is what it is. The people are talking about you, you know?

[A]

Yeah. You know they say no publicity is bad publicity.

[B]

No.

[A]

Huh?

[C]

No bad publicity is better than no publicity.

[A]

I know. It's all like that.

[C]

You know what, dude? I'm honestly just like. I mean, things happen out there, and it's like all the gnarly things, like. And I've half underspun backflips and, like, stepped off and been fine and, like, no sled damage, nothing. And it's just like. It's always the. The quirky things, you know, that you're.

[D]

Like, not thinking about half hands out here being quirky.

[A]

Yeah, see, I was just goofing around. Like, some people do backflips when they're goofing around. Some people Accidentally ghost ride snowmobiles into legendary metering sticks.

[C]

I had gotten a message too on my Instagram, like, oh yeah, imagine the bills in the mail from the club.

[A]

Of course it had to be on your sled too. Well, it either been on your sled or Carter sled, so either way I would have been in the wrong ye. Do you think that it's easier to backflip in the backcountry knowing that you're probably gonna be all right if you don't land it completely, or is it just way easier to do it off of a full on freestyle ramp?

[C]

There's some confidence inspiring aspects of being in the backcountry. Flip side of that, you're miles and miles away from a hospital or medical care or, you know, you got to put some trust and faith in your buddies that you know they're going to take care of you and you have a rescue plan or you have a safety plan. You know, whether that's satellite communication, cell phone service, direct line to the heli. You know, we were out on a ride the other day and I got an in reach message from one of my buddies saying, dude, we're down in a creek. Like we're messed up. And he's like one of my high level riding buddies. And so when I got that message, like, light bulb, okay, he like seriously needs help. He's not one that would reach out and be like, dude, I'm in a creek, come give me a ski pole. It's like, yeah, I showed up. There was a snowmobile 20ft down into a hole that was 15ft wide. Like it looked like a massive crater and there's water running through it, like whitewater rapids running through the skid of the snowmobile. And it was just planted. So having those like safety plans and for him to be able to reach me. Luckily I was in cell service. Yeah, but he had satellite communication to at least get me a text. Be like, dude, we're on the same mountain. And so I just sent him another message back. Said, hey, fire up your 7s dash. I'll come right to you. And mater Gerbs and myself and Spencer came along on the snowbike. We dove down in there. I found their group on the 7s dash on the Polaris and rode right to the exact location that they were.

[A]

No way. How sick is that? That's crazy.

[C]

Doing those rescues is fun, man. I mean, I've been on a few of them this winter and it's kind of been like the kind of going trend of my Videos too. It's just like night rides and like night rescues and dude, on that.

[A]

We should have gone for a night ride. That would have been sick.

[C]

That would be sick. You guys are here for another night.

[D]

I brought my headlamp.

[C]

Yeah, dude. Night rides are so fun.

[B]

Are they really?

[A]

You make them look fun but they look terrifying. They sound terrifying.

[C]

Mellow of things feel so gnarly because you can't see outside of that 20 foot circle of yourself. That being said, you go ride spots where you're like confident of like, snow conditions are good, you know, relatively close to cell service. Ish.

[A]

Yeah, I can barely ride in the daylight. Yeah, you got to trust.

[C]

You got to trust. These are like, they're keen and they're down.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

But yeah, it could be a ton of fun and it doesn't have to be super gnarly what you're doing out there in the night. And it feels so rad.

[A]

Yeah, I bet.

[C]

Creating your own bubble, it's like, I love that aspect. Even when I was competing, I way rather jump and perform at night where it's just like channel focuses into a central area. My buddy Jamie and I tried to connect two zones together. One time, Nikki's eight months pregnant at home. We leave the house at 1 o', clock, like, oh, we should be able to loop this out and be back by four. We drop in this gnarly, gnarly drainage. I mean, you guys hear me say gnarly and you're like, yeah, everything you do is gnarly. This was like, it put me on my, like the hairs on my neck were standing up. And we were committed, you know, dropping bluffs and dodging willows and then into creeks and running water. Anyways, we're trying to connect these two zones. We got to go off of one mountain down to valley bottom and up the other one. We started, we got the descent, we got to the bottom, we high fived and we're like, man, thank goodness we're not going to climb back out of that. And then we start ascending the other side and it's about 3 o' clock at this point and we just get waterfalled out. There's no way we're getting up the next phase. And we're like, man, this is going to suck. And so we come back onto our tracks and have to navigate this like just pretty insane sort of boulder field. And it's low snow conditions and it's starting to get dark. Jamie doesn't have a headlamp. I do. He has a headlight delete kit on his sled because he was, he wanted like lightweight, you know. Yeah.

[B]

Save that pound.

[C]

I was on a Speedworks supercharger. Anyway, from 4 o' clock till midnight we spent trying to get back up our down track. Nikki's at home freaking out at eight months pregnant and she knows better to not call the search rescue. She calls the neighbors around our area and be like, brett and Jamie dove into this drainage and they're trying to connect these zones. Do you guys mind going to find them?

[A]

Why not call search and rescue?

[C]

I mean the search and rescue was just not that skilled at that point to get to where Jamie and I were. And she knew that our neighbors were, yeah, talented. And so they, they drop into the drainage at about 1 o' clock and they drop a.m. they drop in our tracks. But instead of riding and they hike down because it's terrifyingly steep and scary. They go all the way to the valley bottom. And as Jamie and I are like working our way through, we do this like half circle around each other. So like we're going up and those guys are hiking down. But they didn't have radio contact or anything to us. They didn't know what channel we were on. They could hear us. And they ended up below us, you know. And so then we get out the drainage and we get up to where their sleds are and we start lighting a fire. And at like 2:30 in the morning, we just hear them trudging up the hill. And one dude is so beat, he's lifting his legs with his hands to get his feet up out of the snow. So that was kind of like the start of the love of the night ride.

[B]

That one time I got stuck down there. That's when it became fun.

[C]

I've never had an overnight experience. That was the closest that I've ever been. But I was like, I feel like there was a little seed planted there where it was like. This is actually kind of pretty cool.

[B]

You've never done it overnight?

[D]

No, I've never surprised by.

[C]

I've done an overnight. I've been like looking to do some intentional overnights, like go up late, like super late, stay in the cabin and then get up for sunrise and go ride.

[B]

Oh, that's cool.

[C]

Or go up late and ride through the night and stay in a cabin and wake up in the morning. You know, there's lots of cool different ways I've been.

[A]

That's.

[B]

We had a video that we did like a couple years ago and we went out into Utah and spent a night in the backcountry with the Godfrey. And we went to like this teepee. There was like already kind of like a lean to made in the mountain. And we spent the entire day not snowmobiling, just building our stuff for the night. We had food, we had drinks, we had everything. It was super, super fun. The one of the cooler experiences watching the sun set and the sunrise, but sleeping in a sleeping bag with all my warm clothes, all the stuff in the snow cave. I'd spent six hours digging and it was still brutal. And I think about having spending a night after riding all day like we did today, where you're sopping wet and you're tired and you're hungry and all you want is a cheeseburger. And having to spend a night out there would be. It'd be awful.

[C]

That's when you're good fuel.

[D]

You're sitting in front of the fire, literally, like drying your socks just so.

[C]

My will to survive, my will to conquer is way stronger than my will to just like, okay, we're staying the night. I will, like, yeah, until I'm bleeding out my eyeballs and my fingertips are wore off. I am scratching and clawing my way out of anything or everything that I can, you know?

[A]

Yeah, it's that fight or flight.

[C]

Just grit, man. You can't teach grit. I just, I grew up in that sort of scenario, you know.

[A]

Like, you Canadians are built different.

[C]

Grew up in a logging family. And it was just like, when stuff breaks down on the log equipment, you do everything you can to get it fixed because every, every minute you lose is a hundred dollars or. You know what I mean? And I feel like that's carried into my career, whether it's competing or just like riding natural terrain or just like, you know, even when I'm like going for a ride and we're out in the trees, I'm like, I'm intentionally trying to punish myself. I'm like, I think I get my snowmobile through that little, like, spot right there, and then I'll get just wedged in there like. Well, I guess that didn't work.

[A]

Yeah, dude, we. I mean, we say that all the time when everything goes wrong that you can even imagine going wrong, there's always some kind of way to fix it or make the show continue to go on totally. Because, like, I mean, we figured it out on, like, all of our weird contraption vehicles. Like, we don't really show the. The process of them breaking in the videos just to keep them moving. But, like, so it's always Such a disaster. And we don't have any time to just be like, oh, well, we can't do it. Like, we have to post on Thursday. And we always. Well, I forgot to put the always.

[C]

Yeah, Separated.

[A]

So there is something to be said about that. Like, like being a problem solver for anything 100% and just like, and just.

[C]

Figuring it out, the will to conquer, you know, Like, I feel like that's just something that it just gets ground with you.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

Just like you just take. You just keep taking the beating, you know, and come out the other side. It's like that, that sort of like fulfillment is what I'm after, like all the time. I just love that feeling of like the satisfaction of just being absolutely ground down to nothing and then coming out the other side and just like high fiving your buddy or like your group and be like, man, that was absolutely gnarly. And we're like back of the trucks, you know?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

What does David call it?

[C]

It's type.

[B]

Type 2 fun. Type 2 fun.

[D]

Type 2 Fun.

[B]

It's when you're having a bad time but you're with your buddies and then afterwards it's going to be really fun.

[C]

To talk in the moment.

[G]

You're.

[A]

You made it at the moment but you look back on it.

[F]

It's awesome.

[C]

Yeah, exactly.

[B]

Type two fun.

[C]

I go with like the Tyler Beerman. The Tyler Beerman quote. Like, that dude is gnarly on a dirt bike, but he's like, he's always just like, team never quit, you know? Like, it's true though. All those top level moto dudes just get punished with injuries. And it's like, it's so cool to watch them come back and like, and rebuild and come back better, you know? And it's like I try and keep that mentality in my brain. You see me in my vlogs where I'll be like, I'll be so buggered up and just like everything that I've got, every ounce of energy to like not be stuck and come out the other side like, oh, so glad I never quit. Because if I quit, it's concreted in and I'm going to be there for hours. Yeah.

[A]

What's the worst injury you've had?

[C]

Broken femur at, man. What was I, 12 years old? Was pretty gnarly, but when I broke my ankle and my tailbone in 2017 and then was hospitalized for two weeks because I lost 60 of my blood. Yeah, I got it. I got.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What happened?

[C]

Yeah, I got dispatched from one small Town hospital, diagnosed with a broken tailbone and a broken ankle. And like, they didn't even give me crutches or anything. They just like straight off the hospital bed into the back seat of the truck. And Nikki and Hudson was like, newborn, like, not very old at all. She drives me up over this mountain pass and we're trying to get home, and I'm just like laying in the. Laying in the backseat of the truck, just excruciating pain. Hudson's crying. She's. I said newborn, but I think maybe she's like a year. She's just like, she's crying, just. Just doing baby stuff. I'm freaking out because my stomach hurts so bad, and I haven't like, pissed in 22 hours or something. And my stomach starts getting super, super hard. And I'm just like, I'm just begging Nikki, like, just drive faster. Like, we need to get to the next town anyway. This is a two hour drive between towns.

[A]

Yep.

[C]

It got so bad that I told her, like, we need more help than this, you know, like, so she calls my physical trainer and she's like, what do I do?

[B]

And.

[C]

And he got us like the hotline to the front desk at ER at the hospital in Kamloops. Called the front desk, they dispatched an ambulance to meet us at the front of the hospital. Because that's the quickest way to get yourself in.

[A]

Yep.

[C]

So they ripped me out of the backseat of the truck, put me onto the. The gurney in through er, right to the trauma unit. And, you know, I get diagnosed and they. They're doing all these scans and I was like, I'm going to say 100 mils away from, like my bladder bursting and just going full septic. And so then they started running blood tests and I was like 60, low on red blood cells. I was internally bleeding inside so bad that I was just like, my stomach was just filling up with fluid and I was just like, pretty much just driving around dead.

[A]

Holy.

[C]

And that was in 2017. I was hitting a freestyle ramp at Caldimello's house and was just doing a whip. And I whipped really hard in my hand for whatever reason, came off of the bars and I grabbed back on and I tried to straighten the bike out and just wasn't coming back straight. So I bailed and just went 90ft to my feet and just crumpled and landed on the bike. Drove the foot peg through my ass and broke my tailbone, broke my right ankle. And yeah, I guess that was, I'm gonna say that's the gnarliest One.

[A]

That is insane. After that, weren't you like man kind of dirt bikes?

[C]

A little bit. But then I was like, I love dirt bikes. Three months later, I was back riding ramps again. Six months later, I went double golds at Winter X. So it was like.

[A]

So you didn't let it slow you down too much?

[C]

No, but it slowed me down. Now that ankle is pooched.

[A]

Oh, really?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That seems to kind of be the general saying for most athletes that are performing at a. At a high level. Injuries rarely slow them down.

[C]

Especially at 35, like me. And then you're like, yeah. I wake up in the morning like, oh, there's that 2017 ankle injury, tailbone. Like any more than two hours on the airplane, I'm just like, oh, my gosh, this sucks. I need to stand up.

[A]

Yeah. Not very often.

[C]

I'm going to be that guy that packs around an inflatable donut.

[F]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

To sit on.

[C]

Just like if I'm flying to Japan or Australia or something. That's me. That's my steez.

[A]

Really?

[C]

I'd probably have like rubber ducks or something. Something rad.

[A]

Dude, I thought that was going to have to be me this morning. I had like the spiciest Korean bowl last night. Oh, my God, it was terrible. I was actually contemplating even not snowmobiling.

[D]

Dude, you.

[A]

Cuz I was like, I don't think I can. I don't think I can go out on the hill, boys. I've had such a rough morning.

[F]

I don't.

[A]

This just doesn't sound like a good idea for my pants.

[C]

That Korean was gnarly too. Dude, I seen the three peppers on the menu. I'm like, I can do spice. Yeah. This morning I was not doing spice, dude.

[A]

No, I think. I think Carter's toilets actually filing an assault charge on me.

[C]

Is that why the Mounties were here this morning?

[A]

Yeah, they were asking questions. Yeah, it wasn't good.

[C]

Go finish tightening up the bolts on the front end of that snowmobile so it doesn't fall apart.

[A]

Sounds good.

[D]

And then we'll run in there and just give it a once off.

[C]

Yeah. Come out for the final inspection and see if it's up to your standards.

[G]

All right, bro.

[A]

Thanks for hopping on the pod.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Round two. Carter, you want?

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

This is Carter Hill. He owns this whole place. It's called Stoked Mountain Adventures. I just have to say one thing about you, man. Like, you don't take. You don't skip steps anywhere. This whole place is so dialed. You even have Stoked Waters hanging right now, aren't I? Well, dude.

[G]

Carter.

[F]

What? Stoked water.

[A]

You're the most Canadian person I know, bro.

[D]

And Ben tells him that every time.

[A]

He sees him, and I love it. I love it.

[G]

It's.

[A]

It's. I hope you take it as a compliment, but I just think you're so funny, dude. Like, everything you say is just, like, effortlessly funny, and it's got the Canadian accent to it, so it just. It just adds, like, a little. Little pizzazz to it.

[F]

It goes both ways. I think you Americans are pretty funny, too, but you guys are basically Canadian where you're from. So every American friend I have talks all the time about how funny I am, but I don't think I'm like, that funny.

[A]

But it's just. It's just how you say.

[F]

It's different, man. We just talk all the time.

[B]

So I feel like I've developed a little bit more of a Canadian accent being up here. I feel like now I'm playing into just the smidge that I have as a Minnesotan.

[F]

You're day three here, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Day three in the last three years.

[B]

It's like that.

[F]

Another week, but it.

[B]

Yeah, give me a week.

[F]

Yeah, dude.

[D]

It happens fast. Because think if we went to Australia, there's no way we would just start. I mean, we'd start a little bit.

[F]

You know, my parts. Girl's Australian, so it's like, there's days I want to talk bachelor in Australian.

[D]

It'd be funny because we started sounding really Canadian.

[F]

Yeah, 100%.

[B]

Carter, we came up here three years ago, and Ben called you one night. I think that was after a long night at the bar. And he said, carter, say the most Canadian thing you can to me. And what did Carter say?

[E]

Canadian to me?

[B]

You were like, oh, some talk up.

[C]

Talk.

[F]

No, this is. Oh, yeah. I had a friend that I played hockey with, and he was from Tuktuktuk, like, Northwest Territories. So they basically live, like, on the ocean over there, and it's like the Arctic. This is how this happened, how I got this line. But we were at a hockey also. Like, it was an all sports, like, event tournament. Like, it's basically called Arctic Winter Games. And it was in. Where were we? Grand Prairie, Alberta. So red plate. Yeah, red plate, you guys. Alberta. Hey. Red plate. Okay.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Is that why people have been throwing at us when we're driving? Yeah.

[F]

You guys are in a rental red plate, though, so you're exempt. Oh, I love any. I don't give a hell. Where are you from what you do or what. What you are? I just support anyone's business.

[A]

So if Justin Trudeau walked in.

[F]

Definitely not him. No, I don't support his business.

[A]

Would you. Would you let him rent a sled from you?

[F]

Hell no.

[A]

Really?

[F]

100. I'll call everyone I know.

[A]

So Carter's how I got all of my. My Covid news for what was going on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Carry on, carry on. So sorry.

[F]

We were in Grand Prairie, Alberta, and they kind of met like an athletes lounge at all these events when they do it. So we were in there and you're like, you get to hang out and meet like, all other athletes, like, wherever they're from. Right? And there was this team of like, volleyball player Russian girls, I think it was Russia. We were all in grade 10 this time. So, like, these chicks were like dimes to all these kids from up north. Right, of course. And our friend Kevin. Yeah, like, goes up to one of these chicks and he's like, oh, man, he's like, no more than like 5 foot 5, but he would, like, f you up. Like he was. Yo. And he was like, like my buddy Evan.

[A]

And he did 20 pull ups today.

[F]

Okay, but that thing up close. Yeah, he cheated.

[A]

They were some. They were some pretty weak pull ups. Ev.

[F]

Long story, ever. Long story short, says this chick says, hey, I'm from Tuk Tuk Tuk, you want to. And she no, like, no shit, like, Lily turned around and kicked him right in the nuts.

[A]

No way.

[F]

What, like, just dropped.

[A]

Did he put him.

[D]

Yeah, I was like, put him on the ground.

[F]

Dropped him. Yeah. All of us just like, piss ourselves laughing. I bet this thing I ever seen and he was like this little, like, solid, like in a kid. And oh, my God, it was hilarious. But he had no filter. He was. Yeah, he was crazy.

[A]

You kind of gotta respect the guy for shooting a shot, though.

[F]

Yeah. And it's funny because his name is Kevin Craig. Nick Tucker from Tuck. Kevin Craig. Nick Tuck from Tuck Tuck. It was always funny.

[A]

That's some Canadian lingo right there.

[F]

Probably one of the best hockey players I played with back then. He was solid dude.

[A]

Quite the setup you got here.

[F]

Yeah. Let's talk.

[A]

Good little spot. You like living in Revelsto because you didn't grow up here, right?

[F]

No, not at all. So I'm originally from Northwest Territories, so.

[A]

It'S all way up.

[D]

Way way.

[F]

Yeah, Way up north. Yeah. 18 hour drive from here, so it's not as bad as crap. Everyone from Saskatchewan's further Ontario and stuff, so I can't complain. There's. Yeah, we have a lot of clients that drive like 30 some hours to come here, so. Which is cool.

[A]

We've met a lot of people that are like, yeah, drove here from wherever, and I'm like, nice. How far of a drive is that? Yeah, they're like, oh, it was. It wasn't too bad. It was like 18 hours. I'm like, man, we got a different definition of not that bad.

[F]

Yeah, we're used to it. I'll drive home in, like, one shot if I could.

[A]

What's up with these roads? Oh, like, what's up with Canadian roads?

[F]

Because the weather is so inconsistent. Like, it's like you have summers to repair them and then winners is the Gong Show.

[A]

Yeah. But I mean, we got kind of the same weather as you guys.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

And ours aren't this bad. But it seems like when we drove here from here. Minnesota, but from Minnesota or right above Minnesota and Canada all the way to Revelstoke, it was like some of the worst roads we've driven on. And we've. We've traveled quite a bit.

[F]

Like, quality wise or like.

[A]

Yeah, like quality.

[F]

Yeah. Well, both. And it's sketchy.

[B]

Well, you guys don't even put, like, normal places put sand on the roads. You guys just, like, dump rocks.

[F]

It's like sand and rock, they don't get, like, clean mix. For sure. In the cities, it's. It's a bit better, like, on the freeways between, like, cities. But, like, the mountains is just crazy. Like, it's. Yeah, it's hard to maintain and keep up. Like, I can't even shovel my deck off, man.

[A]

Well, that's the thing.

[F]

My snowball doesn't work on it.

[A]

A ridiculous amount of snow. How. How much snow do you get a year?

[F]

I don't even. I. I don't even keep track of that a lot. Like. Yeah.

[A]

580 inches.

[F]

Yeah. Like eight feet. What's that today?

[D]

Five.

[G]

Five.

[F]

Did you even get to see it? Because he cranked it like that, dude.

[D]

So do you ever get, like, upset that, like, frat boys from the States take your lingo? Because I think your lingo is pure. I guess I'm kind of throwing it back to, like, how everyone thinks you're funny, but I think they take, like, frat boys and like, whatever they, like, they talk, like, how Canadians actually talk.

[A]

I think it was the Nelk boys wave, like, kind of transitioning.

[F]

You could think, like, Steve's from, like, Canada.

[A]

Do you?

[G]

So true.

[A]

Does that kind of piss you off? That like all these frat boys are talking like that? Oh, it's like a sense of.

[C]

What's the word?

[A]

Ryan. Ryan's my word guy.

[B]

Your thesaurus.

[A]

Like flattery? Yeah, like flattery.

[F]

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. I would say that.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

I think Canadians aren't funny, man. Like American comedy, American movies, American commercials are way more funny than Canadian.

[B]

Do you guys even have like, TV and stuff up here?

[A]

So what what's like.

[F]

What's your Kevin from Talk to Octoc Might not on the freaking Arctic tv.

[D]

What.

[A]

What's like third world country up here?

[D]

You Canadians, it is not a thoroughbred. What's your opinion on Nell? Like, obviously you. I. I remember you watched them.

[F]

Oh, yeah. I used to watch them hard. Yeah, they're. They're funny as hell. It was just. It's because I could relate to them because like, he's like so Canadian about it. So like, that's funny. But like when it's like trying to be like serious. Like I said, like I said, like a serious movie that's supposed to be so big and it's like, ah, that wasn't funny. Like the American, like American, like version or American actors would have been funnier. But we do have funny Canadian actors like Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, people like that and stuff right there isn't so big now. It's like different. I mean, watching so long. So.

[D]

Yeah, I agree with that too though.

[F]

When they started a little more funny, like, yeah, he was just gold legit. And yeah, just being a dumbass is just how all Canadians are. We're all dumbasses. Because true is still our prime minister. So anyone under.

[D]

Is it dumb?

[F]

Yeah, we're obviously doing something wrong.

[A]

Do most people. It seems like most people say that because like the couple of times that. Well, especially our. In our audience. But the couple times that we've like mentioned. I guess Canadian politics kind of fires up the comments section for us. Like agreeing.

[F]

Yeah. And yeah, actually there's a lot of Americans that agree too, but I guess you guys don't have much better. So I don't know. Still fortunate to be from Canada, that's for sure. I live in like the most beautiful place in the world. It's not tropical, but it's tits deep snow. So.

[A]

That should be Rebels.

[F]

Slogan. Man, how sick. Where do you get yesterday? I can go to Ch?

[A]

Re. You should put that on a. So much.

[D]

It's not tropical, but it's tity snow.

[F]

Like.

[D]

Yeah, incursive dream, man. It's incursive over the.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

How many days you have on snow this year?

[F]

Two.

[G]

Two.

[F]

Yeah. That's.

[B]

That's what's crazy.

[F]

Like, here I had, like, 120, but that was, like, a lot. Like, I like, for example, like, muskoka. Like, that guy was, like, every day, so that's exhausting. Like, I couldn't imagine trying to work and do that. Well, it'd be impossible.

[B]

But he's huge up here. He's like, a household name.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

That's where I've heard him get brought.

[F]

Up, like, 100 times. Yeah. 100. Yeah. Was no one else, like, doing big YouTube, like, with sledding like that, other than, like, him and Brett. And then Nick's getting some traction now, which is cool.

[C]

So.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

That sounds terrible.

[F]

Yeah. On the average, I'll still get that.

[A]

Doesn'T sound fun at all.

[D]

Snowmobiling takes.

[F]

That's a lot, man. I couldn't go every day, dude.

[A]

Every day. Get home, upload your footage, edit it, upload the video, have a thumbnail every night, get up the next day, do it all again. That sounds literally terrible.

[F]

Hey, everyone's bred for different stuff.

[D]

Yeah. I'm impressed by it, but I agree.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Another grind.

[F]

I'm out here feeling sleds, oil and sleds, ranch on sleds, talking sleds, sleeping sleds, thinking. Yeah, every day.

[B]

You ever get sick of it? You ever get sick of people coming.

[F]

In here, like, partying? No.

[B]

Or they're, like, on vacation and you're kind of like, holy crap. Well, I guess it's probably different because not everybody's your friend. You're not always in here every night, chilling.

[F]

No, I don't hang out with everyone, but I. No, I'm. I love all the guests. I haven't had not one bad batch of guests since I started this place.

[B]

That's good.

[F]

It's been awesome. And then. No, they're. They're here to. This is their getaway. Right. So that's what I'm here to offer. I don't give a crap what they do. Five guys come sledding for the week, they get away from the wise for a week. They sat in the hot tub and drank for, like, three of those days. I didn't. Whatever. Go for it. Yeah. On a road trip. That's what I built this place.

[A]

Hey, honey, I'm going snowmobiling for three days. But they find out you just went and hot tubbed with your buddies and got drunk. What do you call the hot tub? Wiener.

[F]

Oh, I don't know.

[D]

No, no, dude, Carter did not call it that. Brad comes. Yeah.

[A]

When we got.

[D]

We're leaving the parking lot, he's like, what are you guys gonna go head back to Carter's and sit in the wiener one? And I was like, it's not just run the jets.

[F]

At least don't be the guys that's sitting there like bath water.

[B]

That was Evan and I. Yeah.

[D]

Carter's got a rule board out there, and it says, have to run the jets. If all guys in the hot tub.

[B]

We bought a bath bomb. Like, because we'd leave it up here without in there. We can't.

[F]

No, no, no, no, no. That's saltwater hot tub.

[A]

We bath bomb cars.

[C]

No, you like it.

[F]

Accommodation.

[A]

Yeah. There we go.

[F]

Just bath bomb sink in the kitchen.

[B]

Evan's sitting in it like a little.

[D]

Toddler.

[A]

In the kitchen sink.

[F]

Yeah, that's. Yeah, I guess.

[A]

Speaking of wash your hinder.

[F]

All right.

[B]

We're gonna have ev hop in, share his experiences.

[A]

Oh, boy.

[D]

Just in general, how many experiences did.

[F]

You have this week?

[E]

Well, my favorite experience was watching my.

[F]

My dear friend Ben take out a national mon.

[E]

That was a good time.

[A]

Yeah, you like that? Do you guys. Do you guys know that video of the guy going up the snowmobile ramp and then, like, blacking out the red coat, pinning it at the top, then he falls off the side in the head? No.

[F]

There was a crazy up onto.

[A]

The truck, and then the snowmobile like, launches over the truck, and the guy falls off he lawn chairs this year.

[F]

Yeah, that was at Frisbee, I think.

[A]

Oh, really?

[F]

Yeah.

[G]

So the.

[A]

Right next to the parking lot, like.

[F]

Like, further down, Next parking lot down. Do you get.

[A]

Do you think that guy was just, like, hammered, dude. He just grabbed a little throttle. There's no way that you could do that with. With being sober. Are you serious?

[F]

But no offense, there's just people that. I don't know. Maybe the throttle stuck. Who knows? There's two sides of every story. Or maybe he just had no freaking clue.

[A]

Well, my question is, why was there so many people in the background filming it?

[F]

I don't know. It was kind of odd. Yeah, because, like, that's where, like, maybe he was. Eff. Well, let's get this on video, because he's completely whiskeyless.

[A]

Yeah, that's my only.

[F]

That's why you have Jody. Whiskey throttle, Power sports. Oh, what'd you just do?

[A]

What? You just plugged.

[D]

You plugged Jody at Whiskey power Throttle sports.

[F]

Yeah. Shout out.

[A]

Weed's legal. Canada.

[B]

How long Is that.

[F]

Oh, weed's been legal since I've been smoking it. So the whole place, 2013?

[A]

What, in Canada?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Weed's been legal that long?

[F]

Well, for me, it has been. I just walk around with it everywhere.

[A]

Hold up, is that how that works?

[D]

I like that. I just love that.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

It's been legal for me since I've been smoking.

[F]

Oh, yeah. Weed's been legal since Trudeau came and burnt this country down.

[G]

Wait a minute.

[A]

One good thing. I almost don't want to say it.

[F]

One good thing. He's done. Yeah. Weed legal. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's what it.

[A]

Well, like, you smoke weed over drinking.

[F]

I'm on and off of weed. I took, like. I didn't smoke weed for a whole year last year, just for my concussions. But, like, after I finally was concussion, like, symptom free, I started smoking again. So I was on and off for a while with that.

[A]

How'd you get concussions?

[F]

Just all from sports before.

[A]

Really?

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And then just a couple other incidents, and then that's it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Hockey.

[F]

Yeah, hockey. At first. Yeah.

[A]

That's cj. You haven't met him.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

But Micah was mentioning that.

[A]

Yeah. Has a really bad concussion syndrome.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Or symptoms syndrome.

[D]

I was like, that's a thing.

[A]

No, I'd have that, too. Yeah. But, yeah, bad concussion symptoms. And, I mean, just, like, even the smallest stuff would flare him up.

[F]

Yeah. Even sledding. Like, I gotta be careful too. Right. I don't really go, like, too huge when I'm riding, but I just like to shred. But I just gotta watch. Like, I don't even like doing bow ties. Like, I just fling my neck around all the time.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

But depending on the snow, if it's really tractiony and, like, catches you off guard and you can really whiplash yourself pretty good. So it's not worth it for me. Nobody's paying me to go do both, like, ties on Instagram. So.

[A]

What, like, what kind of symptoms do you have?

[F]

Just horrible brain fog. Like, no headaches or anything, like, major. Like that. And then just, like, vertigoey, just. But brain fog and, like, head pressure. That's probably not even. It doesn't even exist. It's just. Yeah. It just feels like it.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

I've been to Brain Centers. I've been to Orlando. I've done a bunch of stuff, so.

[A]

Oh, really? Yeah. What. What. What all have you tried?

[F]

I went to a neuroplasticity center in Florida that fixed me after my, like, first few initial concussions. So it's like A week long. But they could. They do it like three week thing. But a week long is expensive. It was like, I bet 150 grand Canadian.

[D]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

What?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

And what do they do?

[F]

They just put you, like, in machines all day and have your eyes connected to, like, lasers and cameras. And, like, they put you in this, like, spinning like crazy. Like state of the art, freaking down spaceship machines.

[D]

And would you say that it helped?

[F]

Yeah, it definitely helped me. Yeah, it fixed me completely.

[A]

Crepes.

[F]

Grapes.

[C]

Grapes, Frick.

[G]

I don't know about crazy. From Talladega Nights.

[F]

Micah calls rockets Smarties.

[D]

Okay. And that's what I was super interested, I'm pretty sure.

[A]

Are you talking about Smarties?

[D]

Smarties started in Canada.

[F]

Yeah. And trying to get them.

[D]

Then America wanted to make Smarties, but they were like, well, we want the Smarties to be.

[C]

They want them to look like the rockets.

[F]

Or they call smart sweets those ones. Or you actually. What?

[A]

Were you just eating that candy that you were eating in the rocket? No, those are Smarties. Yeah.

[F]

No, Smarties is a chocolate.

[A]

You don't?

[C]

[F]

Yeah, man.

[A]

Who brings you your eggs, man?

[F]

Ever since I Stopped getting chocolate eggs. I just stopped believing.

[A]

What about Santa?

[F]

No, I still believe in him.

[A]

I was gonna say dude, I think Canada chocolate is different in some way though, because Kit Kats taste way better.

[D]

The kitkats here are way better.

[A]

Way better.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

You guys have way more junk food, though. No, that's why I get socks. Didn't bring me crispy chip Selection is bizarre.

[B]

No way, dude.

[F]

You guys.

[G]

Ketchup and flavors.

[F]

Ketchup? What do you mean ketchup? Oh, yeah. You guys don't have ketchup?

[E]

No, we have lots of ketchup.

[F]

Just. No ketchup.

[A]

Ketchup. Just what's regular old fashioned cats up. We don't have lays.

[E]

Ketchup chips.

[F]

What?

[B]

Really?

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

That's not a thing. Well, we don't have like spray cheese and 40 different types of Oreos.

[G]

Spray.

[A]

No one like mine should have Third world country.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Cheese whiz. Yeah.

[F]

Yeah. But in the spray can.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Cheese.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

We've never had that here.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

And no one should.

[F]

No. Yeah. Even it's not good for you, but food in America is way too bad for you.

[A]

Do you guys look at Americans like, man, those guys are idiots. Like, like, do Canadians.

[G]

You gotta think about it.

[F]

Honestly, man. There's like Americans that know nothing about their own country.

[D]

Yes, that's true.

[A]

Yeah, as in, hold up, we learn.

[F]

About America and social studies here. I failed social studies, but I just know we learned about America a lot.

[A]

So I didn't teach a.

[D]

About you can tell you what. That's what it.

[A]

You know what's crazy, bro? In the last podcast, who was it? Somebody thought that Canada was owned by England and you guys had a. A queen.

[F]

Really?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Who was that? I think it might have been Ryan. Yeah, Ryan. Everyone was gonna have to finger blast the queen to get in because his passport wasn't bad.

[F]

I was at a hockey camp in Penticton and a kid didn't know Wayne Gretzky was what? Yeah, I was at a hockey camp in Penticton. Like, I go there every summer and the kid in my hockey camp didn't know who Wayne Gretzky was.

[A]

What?

[C]

That's tough.

[A]

Did you guys bully the out of them and, like.

[F]

No, I don't bully. I like friendly bug friends. Like, I pick on Nick. I pick on mater every day.

[G]

I'm gonna call it that. I'm friendly bugging.

[F]

Yeah, man. Canadian. No, but it's like, you like. I guess you like, get the kid a hard time. Was he like, like cozy up to them right when you get comfortable. The kid was a beauty. But I was like, dude, you know who the Gretzky is. Like, what's wrong with you, man?

[D]

Like, also, they're just not into hockey.

[F]

One of the smallest sports. It's underpaid, too. Well, not like underpaid, but they just don't have that big of salary caps. Like football teams and baseball teams and NBA. Those guys made big money. What is your opinion of soccer? I actually watched World cup for the first time the other day because my barber, which is like, I got him in the sledding and his buddy. These guys are hilarious. Oh, my God, I wish you guys were here to ride with these guys. Brett has some crazy stories with them. Brad even night rescued them on their last clinic.

[A]

Really?

[F]

Yeah. But my barber is from, like, England, and his other buddy is, like, Italian. But, like, I can't remember. Luke's maybe born in Canada, but Enrico's born in, like, in Calgary, but his family is, like, hardcore Italian. So they're a little bit more like bougie guys, like, from Calgary or whatever. And I snow checked them two brand new matrixes. Like, one of them, like, broke his whole, like, leg and had surgery their first time sledding. All of them literally came here, rented sleds. Obviously, waivers were signed and all this stuff. Like, I was legit when we started, right off the bat, no funny business. And like, we, like, fell. Like, he was like, I don't know, just like it was a socked in day. So, like, your vision was horrible. And he, like, went down, like, unexpected, like, kind of drop, like, kind of like a little bit of a gully. And he like, his leg came off the running board. He, like, snapped his leg. They had to, like, get him out of there. Like, never been up there before. Like, they just rented sleds. Like, when you rent sleds, you're on your own, right? Like, we're. None of us are guides. We can't guide. So that's all up to great Canad here that runs the guiding tenure. So anyways, yeah, they, like, had a crazy trip that time. And then I love the details that you add on. Like, they literally came here and just rented and just wanted to go ride because I met my barber in Calgary last year. They snow checked sleds off me and like, yo, like, should we do Brett's clinic? I'm like, yeah, you should do Brett's clinic. 100. Like, you guys are clueless out there right now. Like, which is whatever. That's how not everyone starts. Everyone's Gonna start somewhere.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

So they do Brett's clinics. Last year, I think they did, like, two, and they did one this year already. And they are, like, absolute sh. Fighters.

[D]

That's amazing.

[F]

Yeah, they run, like, finger throttles and everything. They've never been, like, on a sled in their life.

[A]

What was the original question?

[F]

They're not, like, just soccer. What is your. Okay, I smoked. I smoked weed before this damn episode, so that's how I got into it. Because they're huge soccer fans.

[A]

Dude, we all.

[F]

Smoke to join.

[A]

Can we have another?

[F]

Oh, God. Can we go.

[G]

Another.

[A]

Oh, no, we're ever.

[F]

Episode, so I'm not used to talking on camera.

[A]

Oh, no, no. I just finished.

[F]

Let's go to that. They're huge soccer fans. And, like, Luke's from England and Enrico's from Italy. They're Die Hard.

[A]

Okay.

[F]

These guys go to the games, like. And Enrico's in Italy right now, actually. And they were here doing Brett's clinic in December for Luke's birthday. And that was when World cup finals were on.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

You never really ever, like, put effort into watching soccer or football, as you call it, and it was pretty entertaining. No, we don't.

[C]

We.

[F]

We don't call it. No. But as they call it. Oh, yeah, someone does. Not us. It was entertaining, but there was, like, seven or six, like, I don't know. I've seen, like, eight, like, on the field. For sure. They were, like, all diving and just, like, holding their shins and stuff. Like, I played hockey and have my teeth smashed out, like, four times. I got my teeth smashed out a fifth time getting kicked in the mouth at Cowboys in Calgary. Like.

[A]

Oh.

[F]

And I still went to Denny's at 4am and had whatever drinks they served in eight pancakes. So, like, no joke story. Yeah, man. Holy. I don't know if they have, like.

[G]

No, no, not like.

[F]

They do not have alcohol at Denny's, I don't think.

[G]

Have you been?

[D]

I don't think they do.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

That's why I kind of have hash browns. Denny's has a bar in it again, but I think.

[F]

But you guys serve alcohol. I've been to Denny's. I've served alcohol. Maybe they didn't give me alcohol at 4am that night, but I don't know. But, like, it was. Yeah, I went there for sure. They breakfast. No teeth.

[E]

No one.

[F]

Blood all down my chest.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

No one was surprised my teeth kicked.

[F]

Out while I was handcuffed.

[D]

And no one was surprised that it was your time losing the crap out.

[F]

Of, like, five Guys in the casino with my buddy Trevor Grapes and our whole hockey team.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Trevor, let's. Let's get on.

[F]

Yeah. Let's go with some crepes at the Denny's. Yeah.

[A]

Celebrate.

[F]

Yeah. Watching the soccer game, I don't know, people were, like, getting hurt, but it was entertaining for, like, the. The hype of it. Like, big crowd and, like, the. And it was like, tie game. And that one guy. The other team, I don't know, he was like, the superstar.

[A]

So is there anything else? Should we call in Brent? Let's just call in David.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

All right. Okay. I think we're gonna call in Trent real quick.

[F]

Real, real quick. Do I gotta roll one? Do I gotta roll another? Okay.

[G]

Yeah.

[E]

Can we get tr.

[F]

And they go.

[B]

I don't know if you want.

[F]

Trent.

[A]

Trent, what are you doing? Take a seat, dude. Just keep in mind. Keep in mind what? This is a Keep it Family program.

[F]

What? Whoever. I'm good.

[G]

Oh.

[F]

Oh, God.

[A]

Oh, I'm so sorry, Carter.

[D]

I don't care.

[F]

Like I said, like I said, you guys are here to enjoy yourselves.

[A]

I guess.

[F]

I'm not gonna hold it.

[A]

We'll see how this goes.

[G]

All right.

[D]

So much, man. Carter's been hooking it up all week.

[B]

It's.

[G]

It's been.

[D]

It's been such a good time having you. He's the most Canadian man we know, bro.

[A]

I love the stories. Yeah, I love the story. It's like going through, like, a maze following sometimes. But that's because I'm stupid.

[G]

What's the.

[A]

I'm not drunk.

[C]

I just pretend to be.

[E]

No, you're drunk.

[A]

All right. Okay. For the final segment of this podcast, it has been a bit random one, but it's been good. We have Trent and David, two of our good buddies.

[G]

Best friends, I'd say.

[D]

Okay.

[G]

Yeah, Close that down a little bit on that.

[A]

No, no, no. I just wasn't sure if you felt that same way, so I wasn't gonna just say that and then have it be awkward.

[D]

You know what? Does go a long way, though? You guys are the friends in the group chat that we use the most.

[G]

I was just saying that.

[D]

Use that the most.

[G]

I feel like I talk to you guys all the time and I. And I watch your guys videos, so it's like I hang out with you all the time, but then when you guys see me, it's literally the first time you've seen me in a year.

[D]

Hey, Trent.

[C]

Yeah?

[D]

You still cool, then?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Somebody else has also said, like, I. So I listen to the podcast I watch the videos and everything. And then when I'm around you, I don't really know what to talk about because I know everything. All my questions about. All my questions that I was going to ask you, so I don't even ask.

[G]

I definitely talk to myself when I'm listening to your guys podcast. Shout things back into my radio. Yeah, I like almost call you guys to be like, no, you're wrong. We were talking about something that I called people at Heydays and Hill Rods.

[A]

Hill Rods.

[G]

Hill Rods was the name.

[A]

What did Ryan say? He said rat lot Lizards.

[F]

Yeah.

[G]

I'm like, ryan, that's so wrong. And I wanted to call you guys. I'm like, wouldn't do any good. It was a week ago. You guys recorded this.

[A]

So what's the story with. With both you and Mike having tendonitis in your arms here?

[G]

I don't think Mike's is tendinitis.

[C]

I think you're faking it.

[G]

Secondary.

[A]

So what's that? Your forearm is. Your forearm is disturbingly large right now, Trent. I'm gonna be honest here, Mike. What do we got going on over here?

[D]

It's pretty big.

[C]

It's pretty big.

[G]

Oh, my God. Here, come.

[D]

Like, come over here.

[A]

Let me see.

[E]

So we have the odds of you guys getting these specific issues at the exact same time on a trip.

[D]

I've never had this before, and it's. It's brutal. Like, it makes it not.

[G]

Yours looks a lot different than mine.

[F]

Let me see.

[D]

Dude, it's huge. It's on fire right now too.

[A]

So much different.

[E]

Oh, that's a lot less hair.

[G]

No, it's not. Yeah, it is. Look it.

[E]

No, look it.

[G]

Dude, my arm is like souvenir.

[A]

First of all, my arm. My arm is so fat.

[G]

Dude, you should sign this.

[A]

Hey, I think you were just gonna grab it like that.

[F]

Hey, the.

[G]

The. The comment with the most likes gets signed KT tape.

[A]

Okay, well, you, Sandman, we're gonna have you be the man responsible for that one. Yeah.

[F]

Oh, my God, that's gross.

[A]

So much hair on that.

[C]

Ryan.

[A]

It's like the scene.

[D]

Let me see that.

[A]

It's like the scene in Monsters, Inc. When they get the dirty sock on them. Yeah. 23:19.

[G]

I meant to make that a lot smoother, but I couldn't get a grasp on it.

[A]

I don't know, it just seems like weirdly hurts, doesn't it? Weirdly suspicious that Mike and Trent's forearms are both cramping and overused. Are you guys both right handed?

[D]

Yes.

[G]

I've had an ongoing issue with bicep tendonitis and this bi weekly something.

[C]

I don't know.

[G]

Bicep tendonitis.

[D]

It literally looks like my arm is broken.

[G]

It might be.

[E]

Yeah. You got. Going up higher there.

[G]

We don't know how health care works in Canada, so we can't even go to the doc.

[E]

All joking aside, that is a massive concern of mine when I'm up here. I've never googled that, like, how does it. But a u. S. Citizen in Canada, health care work.

[A]

I'm sure they would still accept you. We could ask you a hospital. Could you go to a hospital in Canada as an American?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

And then what?

[E]

Yeah, that's a problem.

[G]

That's gotta pay in maple syrup.

[C]

Beaver pills.

[A]

You're playing maple syrup. Hey, actually, Carter, I have one more question for you here. You can just hop in right here. What's up with, like, every business feeling that they need to put a maple leaf on. On their logo or just on the front of their building? Here you get real close.

[F]

It's like all the Americans love their flag so much.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Skin's hood. It's got two American.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Ben, do you think we're just desensitized to it and we just don't notice the American?

[C]

Totally.

[G]

We love.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Never.

[C]

Look at.

[E]

Hey, look at all your drops. You guys do so many red, white, and blue drops.

[A]

We do. Do you think that here. Do you think that Canadians have the same sense of patriotism? If that's the right word.

[F]

No, you guys are way more.

[A]

You guys patriotic.

[F]

Americans. Go hard. Very patriotic.

[A]

Nice.

[D]

All right, so you have it.

[F]

That's sick.

[A]

Thanks, bro.

[G]

Yeah, I like Canada, but I like Canada too.

[B]

True.

[A]

On that note, this has just been a. Educating the Americans on Canadian culture. You can't have a sub conversation in a podcast.

[C]

Yeah, we can.

[F]

No, you can't.

[A]

We just did.

[G]

We're having a conversation about thin pancakes.

[A]

Crepes. Are you saying crepes or crepes?

[F]

Yes.

[E]

I want to say one thing on a serious note. I told you guys numerous times this week, but, like, the videos you guys will see in the videos you're riding the last four years. Ben did a pretty massive drop today. Like, a respectable, proper drop today. Your riding has progressed so much, and I am so stoked for you guys. Like, originally it was a joke, like.

[C]

Oh, let's see what kind of.

[D]

We can get him in.

[E]

And now it's like we're in the. And you guys are right there behind us. And I am so proud of you boys.

[D]

Thank you, Dave.

[C]

You.

[E]

You too, Ryan.

[A]

Hey, hey, hold up, hold up. Ryan, can you sit down? Actually, Ryan, have a seat right here.

[D]

Give me an angry rush.

[A]

First off. Thank you, Dave. I. I actually think that we have.

[F]

Oh.

[A]

Progressed a lot more than the amount of time that we've put in would equate to. And I think it's just because, like, we ride, like, four times a year.

[E]

Realistically, it's been 20 days.

[A]

Four days a year.

[E]

20 days a mountain. Since we first rode together in the mountain.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

So not a whole lot of time. But I think it's just the fact, like, go, like, being forced into the. And then also watching, like, the best riders in the world do their thing and, like, kind of just having to follow.

[F]

Somebody called the cops.

[A]

Oh, God. They shouldn't be far. They. They've been. They've been swarming the block. But anyway, do you mean all of us or. Or, like, most of us? Who are we eliminated?

[B]

I've had a tough trip.

[A]

Okay.

[G]

Ryan had a bad couple days.

[A]

I've had a tough time.

[E]

You know, I did. Ryan, you did struggle a bit.

[B]

You did.

[G]

But you can't let the anger get in the way, Ryan.

[E]

Yeah, I, I.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

Today, I don't know if you saw my story. There was this screenshot of Ryan when he was straight up and down stuck next to, like, three trees. And I said the caption was dead inside.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

And he was just looking into the camera with these blank, like, nothing in his eyes. I saw that more on this trip than I have in a long time.

[A]

Yeah. It was a sign of defeat.

[B]

It's just a bummer, too, because I've been. I've been trying to be better vibes type of guys.

[C]

Yeah.

[G]

Lately, you kind of not working.

[B]

And that's what's unfortunate is, like, when you are making an effort and then people go, oh, yeah, you've really been crabby this trip. And you go, have I? But. And no, it's been a tough. It's been a tough go around. And I honestly, I've done some of my best snowmobiling.

[A]

Just not on the camera.

[B]

Just not on camera.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Just.

[A]

Nobody saw it.

[B]

Nobody was around.

[C]

No. At the end of the day yesterday.

[E]

I said that to you in the truck yesterday. I was like, dude, you were shredding at the end. No cameras on. But I promise it happened.

[B]

Yeah, I kind of, like, get nervous. A little camera shy, you know?

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

The irony.

[A]

It's crazy because. Yeah. I mean, we haven't been, like, filming for that Long. So you still get, like, camera shy and.

[B]

I'm working on it.

[G]

Did you guys talk about how Mike was lost all day?

[A]

Dude, Mike, for the last six years of our friendship.

[G]

Okay, but we covered that topic earlier in the podcast.

[A]

No, but we should talk about that. I mean, what's to be said?

[G]

He was gone.

[E]

It was kind of like he wasn't on the trip.

[F]

I know.

[G]

Everyone's like, where's Mike? Like, the whole.

[E]

You. You lost us in the trail back.

[G]

To the truck multiple times.

[B]

He did that because of me. My goggles were fogged up.

[F]

I think I did.

[A]

Dude.

[D]

I was making new friends. Me and. Me and Kyle, 28 billion were hanging out.

[G]

And, dude, Evan, I got to the parking lot today at the end of the day, and Evan was just hooked up to a random articat. He pulled him into the lot.

[E]

So, yeah, that's called making more of.

[A]

The story is my friend. Well, when Ev said, I just did that to get some good karma, I go, that was sure nice of you. And, yeah, I just did it because. Because I wanted some good karma with the mountain.

[G]

You got it once in a while.

[D]

Karma Mountain. You know, I want more karma Mountains.

[G]

Mountains are crazy plates.

[A]

We have a mirror in the trailer.

[G]

To check for vampires.

[E]

Nobody gets that joke.

[G]

Very specific joke.

[F]

But you see.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

If you.

[D]

If you find a secret vampire, you don't stab it in the neck. You draw a dick on its forehead because it can't look in the mirror.

[G]

Yeah.

[E]

But everybody else can see it.

[A]

I feel like we got a rap on that. Yeah, please. All right. Okay. On that note, thank you guys for making it to the end of the podcast. Subscribe if you have not already, and we'll see you in the next one.

[D]

See you back at home.
