Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister Podcast on the Blister Podcast Network. I'm Jonathan Ellsworth,

and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

Well, today, Cody Townsend and I are back to review some of the outdoors-focused news from August,

and you're not going to want to miss this one.

It is full of controversy, crap, yeah, literally crap, and a whole lot more.

So Cody and I recorded this conversation this past Thursday while I was on the road in

Ogden, Utah at the time, in a hotel room, and we got done recording, and then I headed straight

away to Sun Valley, Idaho to participate in Rebecca Rush's gravel event called Rebecca's

Private Idaho. And I just want to say thank you to all of the

folks in the Blister community and all of the Blister Plus members who stopped by to say hello.

It was a really, really fun event. I did end up riding just the short, the 19-miler on Sunday because I was having so many

conversations just about Blister and Blister Plus in the expo area that I wanted to just knock

out a ride, get back, and continue to talk to everybody. So yeah, so Rebecca is still making

fun of me and calling me Tate now

for a whole other year because that 19 mile event is called the Tater Tot race. So yeah,

she just calls me Tate now. And that's actually the only bad thing that has happened to me

while I've been in Idaho.

So yeah, it's not great.

But it was a fun day, good day of riding, beautiful day.

And again, thanks to everybody who came by to say hello, to learn more about Blister Plus.

And, you know, just say hi.

A number of folks who has been to multiple blister summits, they came by.
