Oh my goodness, good morning, good afternoon.

Whatever it is for you, I hope you're having a fantastic day.

My name is Zach Schamler, This is Strong Opinion Sports episode 517.

Welcome in to the podcasting pickup. I am in a town called Steelacoom, Washington.

I don't know why it's called that,

but I'm also not gonna make fun of it

because it's really pretty here.

It kind of reminds me of,

it's like if Hawaii was not tropical and very wet and very rainy so it's just it's a it's a place

on the Washington coast it's beautiful here I really like it happened here by accident

I found a park along the beach called Sunnyside Beach Parking lot

Where I think people fish here. It's a great spot to record because there's no one here. There's cars driving by

There's a train. Holy crap! Can you hear or see that? There's a train right behind me. I don't know.

Huh. I don't know man. That was wild. Didn't expect a train to happen. It is, uh, what time is it? 3.30 on the dot and the train is going through town. That's pretty wild.

Hope we're doing well. It is relentlessly raining outside. I think it kind of adds like an ambience behind the scenes

as like man the train could not have been worse timing by the way like

can you hear I'm sure you can hear it in the background it's very loud and we're almost at the end of the

train so I'm not gonna stop recording because like that would be silly

just to wait like 30 seconds I don't know maybe Maybe it's a right thing to do. I don't know.

Let me cut one second.

That was hilarious and amazing timing in some way.

Like, of all times, right as I start recording a podcast bam a train goes by of
