How's it going, everybody? My name is Kyle O'Grady. I'm a through hiker. I am a backpacker. I am a huge hiking nerd. And every single week on this podcast, we chat with other through hikers and other backpackers and other

hiking nerds about their experiences on the trail. And that's what we do. You know that's what we do.

Do you like that intro song? I actually heard the same song that I've been using since the

start of this podcast in another YouTube video the other day is like of some guy fishing.

I was with Flossi and it was like playing in the background and he was like, dude, that's the song.

And I was like, oh my goodness.

So send me a message somewhere if you've heard that song in other places because it's not my song.

Anyways, episode number 141, we have an

awesome episode. Asia Cording is on the show. She has hiked the PCT. Not once. I already made

this joke in the episode actually, so I'm going to stop it there. But you'll hear what I'm talking about in

just a second. She's hiked the PCT a bunch of times.

I'll just say that.

And I had the pleasure of meeting her and hiking with her a little bit on the PCT last

year in 2022.

And it was awesome.

We go through tons of great stories in this episode.

Of course, I asked her why she's hiked the PCT so many times instead of some other trails.

And she tells a really funny story about how when we first met each other, which I didn't even realize this until she told this.

You're going to hear my reaction live.

When she first met me, she was kind of fucking with me a little bit.

She knew who I was and she was fucking with me a little bit, which is pretty funny.

So it was awesome.
