0:00.0	Hey, everyone. No intro today. Yeah, it's like kind of like a really, I feel aggressive
0:22.9	about this. And hi, there's a little music that they'll hear though. So it's not just
0:27.5	our voices stark. Yeah, that's true. I'm just out of the groove and it feels weird. But
0:33.6	yeah, we have a completely different type of episode for you everyone today. So hi,
0:38.0	welcome to National Park after dark. Danielle and I decided to do a collab episode today.
0:42.6	So we're both going to tell you some stories. We were inspired. We were a little too much,
0:47.4	actually. Yeah. We just got back from our BAMF trip where we went to BAMF Yoho Jasper.
0:55.0	It was our group trip. It was our MPAD group trip. And we had just such a wonderful time. And one
1:00.7	of the days we had off in the town, we like to run around and look for books that are for the
1:07.8	National Park, so the surrounding areas and low and behold, we went home with like four books
1:14.8	and decided, well, we have these stories. Let's do a combination episode and tell a couple of

1:38.5	is going to want to hear like 10 BAMF stories or Jasper, Yoho National Park stories in a row. So
1:45.7	we had to be a little bit selective. So there are more stories coming at some point when I have no
1:51.5	idea, but they'll be sitting on our bookshelf for when we're feeling inspired again to talk about
1:55.6	these parts. Yeah. So we have two different stories. One of them actually wasn't in any of the books
2:02.0	that I got. We were actually verbally told this story by one of our guides. Yeah. And we got
2:07.9	t-shirts to commemorate this this mascot. Is that the egg I'd turn for it? The mascot of BAMF,
2:15.3	the violent and I don't know aggressive and massive mascot of BAMF National Park. Yeah, we're
2:22.3	getting ahead of the king. Well, tell them about the king. Okay. Okay. Yeah. We're getting ahead
