Episode 25: On tour with JT and the BAG.

Jonathan showing off his “resting face”.

On Episode 25, our one year anniversary episode, we finish the Green River chronicles by floating and rapping about international climbing travel. Jonathan Thesenga and Brittany Griffith are both consummate world travelers and let us in on the beta for safe and satisfying touring abroad. From JT’s know before you go stance, to Brittany’s beta for barfing in a bowl, this episode will prepare you for anything the 3rd world, or even Canada, can throw at you. Kick back and soak it in as the sounds of the water tinkling on the oars becomes a balm for our troubled times.

Episode 24: Brittany Griffith- Mary Anne with a vengeance.

On Episode 24, we take a 1 hour cruise to a deserted island in the Green River to meet up with Brittany Anne Griffith- affectionately known to her friends as the BAG. Two parts Mary Anne, one part Ginger, a dash of the professor, and a scosh of Mrs Howell for good measure, Brittany brings a formidable package to the outing. Climber, caterer, athlete, sorority girl, world traveler, entrepreneur, dirtbag, ambassador, and spy are all titles she’s swapped out with ease over the years. Listen while she spins a tail that starts in the cornfields of Iowa and ends on the desert landscapes of Algeria.

The Enormocast Booze Bingo

Bored of hearing about the Trifecta- Indian Creek, The Black Canyon, Rifle– on every fucking Enormocast? Are you like James Lucas and sick and tired of me relentlessly bringing up my glorious ascent of the Freerider on El Cap? Well, that’s nothing a little booze can’t cure. Just gather your friends, a a couple cases of PBR, a bottle of whiskey, and cue up an episode.

 

 

SUGGESTED RULES:

Any time you hear “Indian Creek” take a slug of delicious beer.

“Black Canyon” gets you two swigs.

A “Rifle” mention, the weapon or the climbing area, and its time to shotgun one of those barley sodas.

“Free Rider” is a shot. No puking.

And after you loosen up a little, don’t be afraid to make up your own. For example, a reference to anything “back in the day” could be followed by shouting CLIMB! and toasting. Dropping “Sharma” could mean you make-out with the person next to you.

Clue into the overused rhetorical devices. “What’s interesting to me…” could mean you remove a piece of clothing. “Whatever else…” means its body-shot time. And on and on.

Just let your imagination, your growing inebriation, and the relative sexiness and gender of your immediate compadres be your guide.

NOTE: Do not play Enormocast Booze Bingo while driving or operating heavy machinery.

And don’t forget to tie-in BEFORE you start drinking.
