Yo, what is going on everybody? My name is Kyle O'Grady. I am a throughhiker. I am a backpacker. I am a huge hiking nerd. And every single week on this podcast, I chat with other hiking nerds about their experiences on the trail. This week's guest is quad fricking Zilla, a highly requested guest. One of the most

badass people we've ever had on the show, and I do not say that lightly. I'm so grateful to

talk with Quadzilla. If you're not familiar with him in 2022, he did the calendar year Triple

Crown, and he's done lots of other stuff before that as well.

And so we talk about it all. He was a firefighter, a wildfire fighter for a while, and we talked about that.

So sick, dude. I'm so grateful he came on the show. So Quadzilla, when you hear this, thank you very much.

One thing I want to say real quick is that there was some internet issues between us,

and so you're going to hear his audio, like, I don't even know how to describe it.

It's just like a little delay every now and again.

The audio quality is still really good.

He had like a professional microphone and everything, so it still sounds good.

You'll hear what I mean, so I just want to apologize for that, but I don't think it's that big a deal.

And then the other thing I want to say is, please leave a five-star review.

Have you ever heard a podcaster say that before, dude? Leave my podcast a five-star review. Have you ever heard a podcaster?

Say that before, dude.

Leave my podcast a five-star review.

I want to give a shout-out to whoever wrote professional and fun on Apple Podcasts.

I want to give a shout-out to John for leaving a review.

Backcountry rookies.

Those are the last three on iTunes. Thank you guys.

Five star reviews, nothing less, nothing less, nothing more unless they're actually, actually, if you can go over five, then maybe do it.

But nothing less than five stars on whatever your podcast app is, especially Spotify too.
