| 0:00.0 | Hey, folks, welcome to the adventure sports podcast. I am recording this right before I'm leaving for a two-day guided trip. |
| 0:22.9 | You know, you heard about my last guided trip in the last episode with Barry Cruz. |
| 0:26.9 | But today I'm actually, this past weekend, I took me and some friends, just invited a bunch of friends. |
| 0:32.2 | We took almost 40 people down some rivers in Florida, some paddleboarding. |
| 0:36.8 | You know, we've got a mixture of paddleboarding, canoeing, and kayaking. |

| 1:35.7 | more about that than we did in the previous episode. In his first episode, we talked about his |
