| 0:13.0 | I am Greg, the Frequent Miler, and I'm here with Nicholas Reyes, my right-hand man. |
| 0:20.5 | That's me. That's me. |
| 0:21.6 | That's him. |
| 0:22.7 | So Nick has been, as most viewers and listeners now, has been traveling quite a bit. |
| 0:29.8 | We last ran into him in Bora Bora. |
| 0:34.4 | And more recently, some of us saw him in California, and he's been very slowly moving east, not even close to his home now. So where are you now? |
| 0:46.0 | Well, today I'm in a beautiful South Lake Tahoe, California. So the southern kind of tip of Lake Tahoe right near the state line with Nevada. |

Yeah, so it's at the top of the mountain. You have to take the lift up to like 9,000 feet or something. And then it kind of goes up from there. So it takes you up like a roller coaster does. And then around it, you don't go upside down, but you go around on what looks like a traditional roller coaster track. Okay. All right. So that does sound different. |
| 2:01.6 | Yeah. |
| 2:02.1 | The alpine slides that I know are usually tracks that are just laid down a mountain. |
| 2:08.8 | So you go up to the top and you get in a little car like thing that you control yourself, |
