All right, this episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by Stateside with Kai and Carter, a new podcast from The Guardian. And they are using this podcast to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions that we all have about what's happening in the world. And they do it three times a week, Jason. Does that sound familiar to you? We don't really talk about, you know, a lot of international global news items and climates and cultures and sports and things like that we do talk about fashion and

wellness but for everything else kai and carter are a great place all right so who couldn't

use more news listen wherever you get your podcast or watch on youtube How long gone, brother Chris is in the building coming to you live from so deep in western Canada that I don't want to pronounce the name of the city because it would feel disrespectful, I think, to the local people.

Just the way that the sounds would come out of your mouth, there's no way it won't be offensive.

Let me spell it for you.

I was talking to Tim Mish today.

I sent him the Wikipedia and he said, that's too many vowels for me, big bro. It's O-O-O-S-O-S-Y-O-O-O-S. O-S-O-S-O-S-Y-O-S. Yes. Ose-E-E-S-E. The motto, Canada's warmest welcome because I'm in the desert over here, Jason.

This is, and just so you know, it's the southernmost...

It's the southernmost town in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia between Penticton and Omak.

It's Canada's only true desert environment. Yeah, which is funny because when we got here, it was 90 degrees. And yesterday, it rained all day like we were in London and it was in the 60s. So it's been a confusing. Temperature-wise, it's confusing. It's pretty beautiful, I have to say. It's on the water. It's pretty breathtaking.

And the drive was really nice. But this was a, just to walk you through, just a quick travel store. It was a three-flight one-hour drive day to get here. And the final flight. Three flights,

as in three separate airplane trips. Three separate airplane trips. LaG about stairs no we're not talking about stairs because i did 64 yesterday

if we're gonna fucking you know but go ahead i went from laguardia to minneapolis then we went to

minneapolis to vancouver then in vancouver you land at the main terminal vancouver airport one of

the world's best unbelievable airport land at the Vancouver

airport then the the terminal that we had to leave from to fly on the smallest plane I've ever

been on that's not private to Penticton was a 15-minute cab ride and still considered part of

the Vancouver airport so we get out I have to go get in a cab, go to this other terminal, get on a

plane that Alex squeezed my hand so hard. It was purple. Like it was truly scary. This, this plane
