Here it is!

Our conversation with Travel Channel Host, Stand Up Comedian, Author, and Podcaster: Bert Kreischer!

Some of you might also recognize Bert from his appearances on podcasts such as: “The Joe Rogan Experience”, “The Duncan Trussell Family Hour”, and “Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend”.

Maybe you know Bert as “The Machine”, but in this podcast we have a wonderful opportunity to discuss the amazing locations visits and the experiences Bert has hosting his show “Trip Flip”.

We also get some behind the scenes info about the show:
- He tells us about one of his most favorite mornings…ever!
- We discuss his most rewarding outdoor experience.
- And Yellow Snow

Oh! And if you don’t recognize that female voice, it is My Wife.
Don’t worry, Puss will be back next episode!

Bert tells us about the time he hiked the Appalachian Trail in Virginia with brand new boots.
We have confirmation.

Pox manages to work in a plug for Thru Hiker Prom and spill beer on his phone.
Bert tells us about some words of wisdom Patrice O’Neal gave him years ago.
Mr. Microphone makes an appearance.
We discuss “Dream Guests” we’d like to have on our respective podcasts.
Cat Calling? Who Cat Calls anymore?
The workout Bert talks about can be found here.

We’ll see y’all in two weeks.
Our next show will be a kind of “Potpouri” category on Jeopardy.

This week Pox & Puss discuss: The stuff in your pack
Have you ever carried a piece of gear that was teetering on the edge of "unusable"?
Have you carried something in your pack that served no practical purpose? Did it have sentimental value?
Have you ever carried something that you didn't know was in your pack? A rock....or a canned ham?

We have a conversation with 2014 Northbounder, Zachsquatch. He tells us about an interesting time he had on trail with a sword-wielding Russian, he describes the average day in the life of an iPhone on the Appalachian Trail, and he has a close encounter with a horse.

ATTENTION! Thru-Hikers past and present!
Be sure to visit the Thru-Hiker Registry at http://www.appalachiantrials.com/thru-hiker-registry/
This makes it much easier to keep in touch with your Trail Friends once you've re-entered "The Real World" and you start using your "Real Names".

OK...put on your Carolina Panthers "Basketball Jersey", break out your pie server, and get ready for Episode #39 - "Zachsquatch & The Stuff In Your Pack" !!!


Next Episode:
We've received a few voicemails about snakes...so let's talk about your Snake Stories!
Please leave us a voicemail by calling 828-394-4526
Thank you so much for all of your calls, they really help the show!

A simple joke on TV took Pox down a rabbit hole of Appalachian Trail information websites.

Wether you're looking for gear reviews, want to read some trail journals, or you need to see how one turns a Coca-Cola can into an alcohol stove, there is almost too much information out there!

We discuss the sites (or books in Pox's case) we used before setting out on our Thru-Hikes.

Zach Davis, the author of Appalachian Trials, joins us to talk about his site: AppalachianTrials.com

We also sift through the online B.S. to bring you some interesting Appalachian Trail stories from around the inter-webs.

Finally, we listen to some of your voicemails...and Pox takes some friendly criticisim.

Finally back from vacation!
Ice Cold is here to teach us all how NOT to behave in a hostel.
Pox finally tells the story of how he was kicked out of North Adams.
Puss washes her hair in the sink of every hut in the Whites.
And we set a record for how long we can NOT talk about the Appalachian Trail on an Appalachian Trail podcast.

Do you like to watch?
We hope you do.

You might have gone to Trail Days...but we have a few questions for you:

Did you see the lady from the Traveling Wilbury's?
Were you licked by that guy with the mohawk?
Did you eat roadkill deer meat?
Did you see that woman in mom-jeans almost break her ankle while dancing to "Happy"?
Did "Rainbow Not-So-Bright" yell at you too?
Do you currently have a bear claw in a pouch around your neck?
Are you one of the two guys wearing bowties who are shorter than Pox?
Did someone ask you "Where are you sleeping tonight"? More than once?

If not...you'll probably want to check out this episode.

Our second annual Trail Days podcast is here!
Set up in front of MoJoe's Coffeehouse, we interview six thru-hikers about their experiences along the Appalachian Trail so far.
You'll hear from some names you might recognize...and some new friends.

What do you do in the woods that you would never catch yourself doing in the "real world"?
Now that's what I call a "Bounce Box"! Oh!
Pox talks about "Ghost Get-ups".
Puss could make a Tarzan outfit out of her couch...if she had to.

This week Pox interviews world traveling comedian, Tom Rhodes.
The interview took place at the Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta.
We discuss Tom's trip to Machu Picchu in Peru, his best travel advice, and lots more.
While this might not be our normal type of episode, we're sure you're all going to love it!

Our big Appalachian Trail Days Festival announcements are here!
Where will you be able to find us? You'll have to listen!
We listen to a voicemail....it's about booze.
We recorded this episode via FaceTime, and Puss wanted me to tell you that she was drunk. I was at work. On my lunch break.
Let's get ready to party folks!!!
