Hey, happy campers!

Welcome back to Trail Mix.

This is our mini episode where we read listeners submitted stories brought to you by listeners like you.

Thank you.

I want to start off today's episode by starting with a moment of gratitude for something that really brought me joy today.

Feeling great, Bob. I was on TikTok, which brings me such immense story. Like, I think a lot of people

look at that app as like the downfall of everything, you know, horrible it is and how much it's

contributed to so many negative things. I have to go on record and say it changed my life in a good way, so like I can't be that mad at it. But, like, I also think I've truly trained my algorithm to be so joyous and ridiculous. Like, I always have a very funny for you, Paige. You do. Ours differ. Because I don't get sucked in because I know what it does. It just, like, you feed off of it, right? So it's like if you're looking like, I was kind of getting fed into the hanta virus stuff. I was like really seeking it. And then I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now I'm getting paranoid. Now I'm getting really like crazy on here. to remedy that you just have to go to the search bar and type in like Ham Taro, cutest clips and then like one video and you're good.

Reset the whole thing.

That's a very good plan.

If Ham Taro is what you want for me, I'd be like,

now I'm even more in the hole. For me, the chugiest thing about me is my love of a good animal clip. Like, you know how many videos I send you, of dogs and cats. I like just they animals are so funny to me like truly

your kids probably suck but your animals are probably the best. I'm kidding. I saw this video of

this girl and it was so it was amazing. She was like I've always wanted a horse but I can't have a

horse because that's not like a pet you can just get. No. It really is like advanced pet care.

It needs its own house. Like you got in a barn, you got to get a stable for that. Oh, baby. She needs square footage. She needs a foundation. You're taking a quick ride through the drive-thru. No, you've got to get that little thing, the buggy on the back. No, exactly. So she always wanted a horse, she can get one.

So she trained her on a horse. She can get one.

So she trained her cat in the backyard to jump over those, like, railings. Okay. Do you know when people, the horses do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, horse jumping. Yeah, what is that called? Jumping horse. We both, Jonathan and I both did horseback writing lessons as kids. We have a lot of like similarities in our childhood

And like I want to We both, Jonathan and I both did horseback writing lessons as kids. We have a lot of, like, similarities in our childhood.
