Let me talk to the wife
Matt Price can I say this
He joins us and will be joining us again
On the music end of the year music episode
For a view from the Chiefs
As he does every year with Jay Logic and Jonah Ray
It is one of my favorite episodes that we always do
I'm so looking forward to your musical choices
I'm breaking it down right now
I had a giant list
So we get a big list
and we bring it down. So Matt Price is, for those who
don't know... Do you guys do six? How many songs do you listen to?
Three each. Three each.
A fourth for Patreon.
So here's the deal. Matt Price has been
in our lives and a close friend of ours for
over a quarter of a century.
We didn't know each other. I feel real good.
Yeah, we haven't even talked to you.
By the time this drops, but you'll still be in the hunt, so it won't even matter.
People don't want to hear about this.
Why not?
But we're happy.
We're happy.
People should be happy hearing people's joy.
Two decades of wandering in a desert of losses, and we've just felt this way.
Can I tell you guys something?
One of my favorite things about, first of all, the tweet.
I was very happy with myself with the tweet that I put out of YouTube.
I did the GIF of Conor McGregor walking, and I wrote,
this is the Sklars heading to Twitter after this Michigan win.
After the Ohio State win.
Yes.
I laughed so hard.
It was me.
Here's what I love is when people would come at you guys and go,
we haven't won much in the last 20 years.
And then you guys would be like, well, the overall record, right?
And then they would say something shitty.
And none of you did this.
I wanted to chime in so bad, and I just wanted to go.
So you want to go, you want to live in the past, but not too far in the past.
You want to define what the past is.
Right.
You only want to go back to a time that feels good for you.
Right.
You want to leap this.
You add another decade to that.
One of my favorite things
is they're so
angry.
Randy and
Jay are so
angry when
we lose.
They're angry
while they're
winning.
Finally they
win.
They're going
to the playoffs.
Never happened.
I text them
go blue
and they're
right back.
Feels good.
I was like
the nicest
thing I could
say to them.
No, no, no. I was like great win thing I could say to them no no no I was
like great win
I said it feels
I'm surprised at how much I'm riding this off
Randy writes me back and goes I mean
my daughter's guinea pig died so
it's not all happiness
and I wrote back I go
he was holding on for this victory
and then I wrote it back and said
it's a she anyway so, there is dumbness happening in the world
and some of it being perpetrated by us.
And we'll get into some of what Matt Price is working on
and how you can follow him.
And a dumb story from him for our Patreon fans,
but let's jump into it while we're at it.
Our favorite G-man, Liz Haggerty,
at Liz Haggerty sent this in.
You can do just like Liz Haggerty did.
You can go to Twitter Liz Haggerty did.
You can go to Twitter at DanielVanKirk,
hashtag dumb people town,
and just send it to me in a reply. Not a DM.
The slide is open, but not a DM.
Just at DanielVanKirk, hashtag dumb people town.
Ready?
I love it.
Yes.
Nimble Will Nomad is oldest to hike Appalachian Trail.
Is this like a new-
His name is Nimble Will Nomad? That's what it says here. Nimble Will Nomad is oldest to hike Appalachian Trail. Is this like a new... His name is Nimble Will Nomad?
That's what it says here.
Nimble Will Nomad.
Was he mad that Nomadland came out?
Or is it...
Is he pooping in a pot?
Have you guys seen Wild?
Pot Pooping Nomad.
Reese Witherspoon, Wild.
Yes.
She doesn't like to hike.
She liked the Appalachian Trail.
Oh, my God.
And then they play that song,
the title I can never remember,
from Simon and Garfunkel, I'd Rather Be the Hammer Than the Nail. What's the name of that song the title I can never remember from Simon and Garfunkel
I'd rather be the hammer
than the nail
what's the name of that song
if I could
if I could
but it's like
an extravagant name
the conquistador
oh it's something like that
yes
oh okay right right
it's not conquistador
no but you're right
it's something like that
he had a lot of parentheticals
he'd be like
blah blah blah
Kathy's song
right
sounds like his thing
for sure they don't do that anymore I'd rather if I could oh my god such a great movie he'd be like, blah, blah, blah, Kathy's song. Right? That was like his thing. For sure.
They don't do that anymore.
I'd rather, okay.
If I could.
Oh, my God, such a great movie.
Hiking movie is why we brought that up
for anybody who doesn't know.
Portland, Maine.
Love it.
A man in Alabama started walking years ago
and never stopped.
Isn't that an old Ellen DeGeneres bit?
El Condor Pasa. Oh bit? El Condor Pasa.
Oh, yeah.
El Condor Pasa.
If I could.
If I could.
So wasn't that an old Ellen DeGeneres joke?
My parents started walking five years ago, and now we have no idea where they are.
My grandmother started walking.
My grandmother started walking.
Oh, that's funny.
Five years ago, and then they started walking.
All right.
Good job.
So there's a guy years ago.
He started walking from Alabama.
A man in Alabama started walking years ago and never stopped.
Yes, indeed.
Am I the only person in this room that ever has a fantasy of just leaving your house and seeing how far you can get?
Do you have that fantasy?
Well, can I tell you something?
Our friend, my former roommate, Mike Blyden, used to take walks from our place in mid-city LA.
And then he would just be like,
he would just call me.
He'd be like,
I'm going to call you in an hour to pick me up.
He would just walk down Wilshire or walk down San Vicente.
And he'd be like,
hey, I'm at the gas station on Overland.
Venice, can you come grab me?
Yeah.
So far.
I'm like, what's down there?
He's like, nothing.
He just walked.
Walked.
He was.
Maybe I'm a weirdo,
or maybe I'm like,
something I'm not dealing with in my life, but I just have this.
Sometimes I have this fantasy of just like, and I'm talking like far.
Phoenix.
Yeah.
How far across the country could I get?
Didn't we interview that comic?
There's a comic of Jessica.
Yeah.
Who like, what is her last name?
Walter.
Watkins.
Jessica Watkins.
She walked literally across the entire country.
Really?
Yes.
And this is tightening and hanging away from her because I love Jessica and I think she's
great.
And every time I hung out with her, she's awesome.
And I think it's cool that she did this.
A lot of preface.
A lot of preface.
I would almost do it with no...
I wouldn't even tell anybody, but I could totally get why doing that and I think it's
amazing.
I mean, it's a woman.
It's different.
But I just want to see how far I would get.
I mean, I love walking.
So, Rand and I have been walking so much.
And, Bryce, you've come up and walked with us up in the hills.
You took me on a walk and then turned into a sprint a couple times.
I know.
I did some running.
What are you doing, Jay?
I was like, I thought this was a walk.
No, no, no.
You were like, dude, push it.
Push it.
Come on.
I put you.
I'm wearing jeans.
So, no, but I looked down.
Stop.
I looked down, and I recognized there were denim sweats.
And I recognized that I've walked,
like oftentimes when we were in Toronto,
I walked like 10 miles in a day.
10, 11 miles.
If you walked 10 miles a day,
and that was only like three hours.
Which is what these two really care about here.
All the snacks you want. All the snacks you want.
All the snacks you want.
Chips in the world.
Chips.
All the chocolate raisins.
Is that what this guy does?
MJ, Sonny Eberhardt.
I hope he's related to Noah.
Yeah.
MJ, Sonny Eberhardt strode into Record Book Sunday as the oldest hiker to complete the Appalachian Trail.
How long is that?
Do we know?
It's from Alabama all the way up to Maine.
I think so, yeah.
That's the whole eastern seaboard.
I'm going to say 2,500 miles.
Everhart, known by the trail name Nimble Will Nomad.
Yeah.
Weird name.
Like, get a better name.
But, Ran, you can't argue against people's trail names
because you went to Burning Man.
Oh, yeah.
That's a playa name, so just chill out. People are allowed to have trail names. Have you done Burning Man. Oh, yeah. So just chill out.
People are allowed to have trail names.
Do you do Burning Man, Matt? Do I hate on it?
No. Have you done it? Oh, have I done it?
No, I have not. Would you? No, look at me.
No, I've never done it. Oh, I could see you doing it.
For real? Yeah. That means a lot.
I'm going to be honest with you. This is going to sound like a bit.
One of the reasons, I mean, I'm
100% going to go to Burning Man.
You absolutely should. I want to go.
Rand, you and I are going to do a two-person dump.
What if I go and we do it?
I'll go.
100%.
But part of me wanting to go, there is a sizable part.
Let's put it at 15% is I want to know what my playa name would end up being.
Because you don't pick it, right, Rand?
It picks you.
You're not even on mic.
I don't even know if I like hot clip.
I love hot clip. Can I make a know if I like hot clip. I love hot clip.
Dan, can I make a suggestion?
Yeah.
You walk to Burning Man.
Could you imagine?
Two birds.
Two birds right there.
I'd get a lot of respect for that.
Or is that too intentional for you?
Because I know you don't like the intentionality.
It would be a little intentional.
Good call.
What if you walk in that direction?
You're like, if I get there, I get there.
What if I end up in Burning Man?
Okay.
What are you looking for, Ray?
I'm trying to find out how long the Apple Edge and Trail is, and it wants to put me to the answers.com
app, and I'm like, I don't want that.
You and Jeeves hanging out?
I don't want it.
I don't want it.
I walked one quarter mile of the Appalachian Trail this summer.
Really?
Yeah.
How was it?
First time I was on it.
How was it?
It was great.
It was beautiful.
It was in Bear Mountain, New York.
Have you thought about at all doing, at some point in your life, doing the other three parts?
My father does it.
My parents do it.
Let's guess.
It's kind of amazing to say.
My parents do it.
Let's guess.
Let's guess how long it is.
I said 2,500 miles.
I think it might be in here, but I don't remember.
What do you think?
2,200.
2,600.
2,600, 2,500.
One of you is less than 25 miles off.
Ooh.
Who do you think that is?
Me.
Me.
Me.
Matt Price. Matt Price.
Matt Price.
Get your answers in, townies,
because the Appalachian Trail
is said to be
in the summer of 2008
it was said to be.
I don't know if it's changed since then.
Adding miles?
Climate change.
Climate change.
You never know.
What'd you say, Price?
22?
I said 22.
26.
25.
2,176.
My parents do it.
My parents do it.
My parents do it. He kind of cheated. He walked a quarter of it. I walked My parents do it.
He kind of cheated.
He walked a quarter of it.
He just quadrupled what he did.
A quarter mile, you said of it.
I walked a quarter mile.
Not a quarter of the trail.
I didn't walk 750 miles.
No, that's a ridiculous amount.
Okay.
Anyway.
I thought you said you walked a quarter of it.
What is the code?
Oh, no, no.
What was your trail name? What was your trail name?
What was your trail name, Price?
From walking a quarter of a mile of it
My trail name?
Shit in a pot Price?
My trail name was Angry Cabs
Perfect
He's known as Nimble No Man
He acknowledged that despite having tens of thousands
of miles under his belt, the trail
was tough going at his age,
leading to quite a few spills on slippery rocks.
You shouldn't be.
I know.
Should it be that slippery, the Appalachian Trail?
He wrote, I got a couple of skid marks on me, but I'm okay.
He said in a recent interview.
Not good wording there.
He said in a recent interview.
Not too nimble with the language.
You've got to have incredible resolve to do this.
He hiked the trail out of order in sections
to take advantage of optimal weather.
Just like you, Price.
Couldn't avoid the slippery rocks, though.
Quarter mile at a time.
And had already completed northern sections,
including Maine's Mount Cahodan?
Cahodan?
I don't know.
Oh, side thing.
I can't believe I haven't thought about this.
Have any of you watched 14 Peaks or whatever it is?
No.
About the Netflix documentary about the guy who wanted to climb the...
All 14.
All...
So...
The highest mountain in the world.
The 8,000ers.
There's 14 of them that are above 8,000.
Yes.
8,000 meters.
8,000 meters, yeah.
Yeah.
And he wanted to do all of them.
The fastest it had ever been done was seven years.
He wanted to do them in
seven months. No way.
You can't do that. Watch it. It is wild.
14 peaks? How many relationships
did he not...
He maintained one good one.
I know. Free solo.
There was a story of a
14-year-old kid who summited
to the top of K2.
Not Kilimanjaro.
K2.
I mean, and we were like,
that is going to be your accomplishment for the rest of your life. You'll never do anything like that.
You literally peaked in high school.
Yeah, right.
That's good.
He hiked the trail out of order, as I said.
Joining Eberhardt for the finish was former record holder
Dale Greybeard Sanders, who lives out of Memphis, Tennessee.
He's got a jug. Some
nicknames you hear and you know they are self
imposed. Sometimes you hear a nickname
and go Greybeard. Just call me Greybeard.
You gave that to yourself. I'll call you Dan.
No, no, no. Greybeard. Let's go with Greybeard.
He completed the hike in 2017,
but he's not sad to see my record fall.
Quote, my dear friend Nimble
Will is taking my record away from me
and I'm happy for him. Records are
made to be broken. I feel that way
too. Dale, old gray
beard. Sanders,
it's gray beard if you're nasty.
He confirmed the
completion of the feat as Eberhardt was toasted
with Champagna at a friend's house.
Jordan Bowen of
the Appalachian Trail Conservatory
in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia,
confirmed that Eberhardt is the oldest to finish the trail,
surpassing Sanders.
Eberhardt began his wanderlust in earnest
after retiring as an optometrist in Florida
how many years ago?
So your guess is how many years did he begin
going on the Appalachian Trail
and how many did it take him to finish the Appalachian Trail, and how many
did it take him to finish?
Right.
The irony is that he's an optometrist, and he can't see that this is a bad idea.
There you go.
There you go.
There you go.
Okay.
Price.
Oh, gray eyes.
How many years?
From the first time he started it, until he finally got done with it.
A little bit of a whistle test.
Jeez.
How many?
Well, he's going in sections.
I know from my quarter mile.
I know.
You can really speak from experience.
Yeah, that quarter mile took a good 20, 25.
Years?
Yeah, 25 years.
Off your life.
He's going.
He did the whole thing?
Sorry.
Yeah.
In sections.
I'm going to say old Opti took nine years.
Nine years.
Wow.
All right.
Jason Sklar.
I'm going to say he did it in five years.
Okay, five.
I think he made this his life.
He retired in seven years.
Seven years.
All right.
We're going to take a quick break.
When we come back, we'll find out.
We'll talk to everything that Matt Price has going on.
Yeah, yeah.
In addition to being a great man.
Nimble Matt.
We'll tell you stuff that we have,
and we'll find out how many years it's been since Nimble Will started the Appalachian Trail.
Excuse me, Nimble Will the Nomad?
Yes.
And then finished.
We'll be right back.
Stick around.
Make a sound.
There's more Dumb People Town.
Hey guys, welcome back to the show.
We got Matt Price with us.
We're going to find out what he's up to or how you can follow and support him.
And then also, before we get to that,
we'll let you know what we're doing.
What are you doing?
We're on New Year's Eve.
We are going to Aurora, Illinois,
the Chicagoland area.
Matt, tell your friends, damn it,
all your friends to come see us.
We're doing shows on New Year's Eve.
I didn't think we'd actually ever do that again.
We did it like maybe over 10 years ago in Sacramento.
And we thought, man,
I don't think we're going to do this again.
But then the people in Aurora
at the Comedy Shrine
came a-calling
and we said,
you know what?
We're going to do it.
Let's have a celebration.
The fact that we can gather
and do comedy
in front of people,
I'm assuming it's
fully vaccinated people.
I'm pretty sure
that's what it's going to be.
You know what?
Right after you guys
count it down,
get some people
in the audience
to text someone
they don't speak to anymore
and say,
Happy New Year.
Let's do that.
Yeah, that's great.
That's a great thing.
Everyone look in your phone.
Who has a fence that needs mending?
We are seconds into this new year to say, Happy New Year.
We're all going to resolve to go to the gym together.
So, I mean, look, it's going to be fun.
It's at the Comedy Shrine, so come see us do that.
Then we have lots of stand-up dates.
Denver, Cleveland, D.C.
We're going to probably be doing Moon Tower in April.
And we're going to Seattle at the Croc in May.
Superschoolers.com, get all that stuff.
Plus new episodes of Cheap Seats.
We're doing cheaper seats on our Patreon.
So if you want to see, we get to do Cornhole
and the Balloon World Championships,
high-diving competitions, slap fights, all of it.
Five bucks a month, you can join our Patreon. You guys are so in the pocket with that stuff.
It's worth every penny. It's the most fun.
And then a big news to discuss
in the new year that we will describe
for you of Cheap Seat Relays. That'll be fun.
Daniel, what do you got going? DanielVanCrook.com.

of months, so you can sign up for my newsletter

hangs literally it's like 12 people in me if you
want to spend like an hour and a half just hanging out playing some

Right.
You want people to look for it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Make it.
Make it harder on people.
Yeah.
Right.
You're hiking the Appalachian Trail.
You got to.
You're hiking one quarter of one mile.
Sure.
Sure.
One chunk at a time.
Way to bring us back.
Okay.
And what was our guesses for how long?
When he started versus when he finished?
I said seven years.
Jay said five.
Nine.
The answer is, get him in townies wherever you're at.
Scream it into your car.
Because.
Into your pillow.
He started his wanderlust 25 years ago.
Yeah.
He did it in chunks, that guy.
He's old.
The man with flowing locks and an impressive beard
actually hiked farther than most
who traversed the 2,193-mile trail.
Oh, wow.
So Price was even closer than I thought.
That runs between Georgia's Springer Mountain and Maine's...
I'm sorry, friends.
I've never been there.
That's why I don't know how to say it.
Katadin?
Maine?
Katadin?
I tried.
He started out his hike in February at his home in Flag Mountain, Alabama.
So he literally did what I'm talking about.
He just left his house.
Yeah, walked out the door.
Adding hundreds of extra miles to the route.
How much do you not want to be around your wife to do this?
The journey represented a modest distance, relatively speaking, for a guy who
trekked 4,400 miles from
he also did this once. He trekked
4,400 miles from the Florida Keys
to northern Quebec, an adventure he
chronicled in the book Ten Million Steps.
I bet that was beautiful.
Can you imagine starting the Keys
and going up to Quebec?
But like you're walking along the highway?
What are you doing? You have to at some point.
We did a story once about a guy in a bear costume
walking on a highway.
He grew up that Fitbit is what he did.
He did.
He later hiked from Newfoundland to Florida
an even greater distance,
and he also walked from Chicago to California on Route 66.
I mean, there's way unhealthier hobbies.
Yeah.
No, it's wonderful that he's doing this.
Literally, you guys are think i'm teasing
you he every day on those hikes he could eat whatever he wanted now sure you can't eat stuff
that's gonna like make you feel sick or boggy down you need energy and corn nuts guys all the
snacks you love you literally could be like anyway i don't care i'm not walking it from
route 66 this is also so if you did it for 25 years, this is before phones, right?
Yes, he's doing it.
He's totally alone walking in Newfoundland.
With mad libs or whatever he has to keep him busy.
Any townies?
Or you guys want it?
I'm restarting Alone.
I want to watch all of it again.
Oh, really?
I just love it.
There's something about it I enjoy.
Do I watch Alone?
Yeah, that show.
The show Alone. Oh, I thought you meant like when I'm watching TV. You watch TV Alone. I do watch it. There's something about it I enjoy. Do I watch the show alone?
I do watch alone.
I do sometimes.
My wife is busy at times.
Matt, you just start crying
but we don't know why.
She doesn't like succession
so yeah, I'm there alone.
I mean, is that a big deal?
Is that a crime?
The TV show.
I do not watch the show.
You would love it.
It's really, really crazy.
It's super intense.
It's like the only competition show
I'll actually get down with.
Oh, it's a competition show.
Well, they drop off seven people. It's like crazy. It's super intense. It's like the only competition show I'll actually get down. Oh, it's a competition show. Well, they drop off seven people.
It's like who can stay out in the wilderness by themselves.
You're within your own three square mile, five square mile.
You've got to build a shelter.
You've got to make sure.
And you never know.
You don't know if anybody else has left yet.
So one day they just show up and tell you you're the last one and you're out.
But you're really competing against yourself.
And nature.
You're alone.
So the thing about it is that there why a lot of people don't like it
there's a guy day one who's like I got no kids
I got no wife I got nothing I'm like
you're gonna win and then two days later he's like
that squirrel reminds me of my brother I'm like
you're going home
Jason that was
a perfect joke
it was a perfect joke
there are people
that squirrel reminds me of my brother and he doesn't even have to be dead.
I'm like, you're going home.
No, I didn't picture that.
I can't kill it.
I can't kill my brother.
You're going home, motherfucker.
No, but I mean.
Jerry!
Come here!
Don't come to me.
That definitely happens.
No, but there are people that are really good
like really good at it
and they're just
and you're like
watching them
like they've built
a rocking chair
out of like
wooden stuff
but Randy's
Randy's
the bit that I would do
is that I
was watching with my wife
and I would just
the character I started
to do as we would watch it
is the Canadian guy
who is just pointing out stuff that just happened like she hadn't seen it.
Sure.
Shouldn't have had that salmon roe, Abe.
Yeah.
Should have sheathed that axe.
Maybe throw your old gill net out a little farther next time, Abe.
I don't know why he's putting that wolverine so close to the ground.
They're going to eat it.
That's a bad place to put the food.
I don't know. close to the ground. They're going to eat it. That's a bad place to put the food in.
I don't know.
So much I just kept doing and she just wouldn't
respond back to me
that finally after like
episodes and episodes
of me doing this
dumb character
just laying down
on the couch
I said something dumb
to her like
shouldn't have touched
that squirrel ape
and then she's like
yup.
So now she became
part of this
dumb character thing
that I was doing.
Okay here we go. So he hiked part of this dumb character thing that I was doing. Okay, here we go.
So he hiked Chicago to California.
We're at 66.
He said he was feeling his age on this hike.
His reflexes weren't what they once were,
so he tried to limit himself to eight hours a day of hiking.
That's insane.
So he basically hiked the Chardet song.
But he still got banged up.
On a recent day in New Hampshire, he took a tumble and bloodied his elbow. A hiking companion
asked if he wanted a break.
Nimble Will, a.k.a.
Everhart, retorted,
Do you think if I complain about it, it'll
go away? I'm just going to
tell him to call his kids.
Yeah.
Just say you're
sorry. Right, right, right.
Some pains are on the inside.
Say you're sorry, man.
It's okay, nimble will.
Say you're sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, it's like just take credit for the conflict,
and then you'll get past it.
He said that before picking himself up and pressing onward,
said Odie Norman of Huntsville, Alabama,
who hiked 100 miles with nimble will.
Everhart's age puts him at the opposite extreme
from a pair of young hikers who completed the trail during the pandemic.
A four-year-old, Juniper Netberg, finished her journey with her missionary parents last year,
and a five-year-old, Harvey Sutton from Lynchburg, Virginia, completed the trail with his parents in August.
Five-year-old named Harvey.
I was going to say, no five-year-old has ever been named Harvey.
No.
Thank you.
There's no five-year-old Garys.
Nope. No. If you're a five- five year old Gary's. Nope. No.
If you're a five year old Harvey, you're walking that trail. Yeah. Sure. Good news,
bad news.
Bad news, bad news. Bad news, bad news.
Bad news is your name is Harvey. The bad news is you gotta
walk the trail. Harvey Sutton was actually
met by Everhart.
Sutton has his own trail name. It's called
Little Man. The youngster
impressed the dickens out of me, Eberhardt said.
Eberhardt hasn't lost a desire to keep moving or to seek a sense of calm that he finds on the trail.
Impressed the dickens out of me.
Then he kicked me in the knee and ran off.
And then I ate him.
His first major hike coincided with the search for peace after lugging emotional and mental baggage that involved a divorce and losing the respect of his children.
Dan, you called it. I swear to God, the respect of his children. Dan, you called it.
I swear to God, I forgot that was in there.
Anybody who thinks that I read these well enough
to remember anything hasn't met.
Also doesn't listen to Pen Pals because they can't even remember
what we talk about on that show.
But also, I will say
for Nimba Will, I'm glad that he found
a way to search for his peace.
We talk about it with BetterHelp and Headspace
and stuff like that.
He's doing it in a productive way.
He had a lot of emotional and mental baggage, and he's like, I'm going to go for a walk.
I hope it served him well, and his family.
I like how you're like, he's doing it in a productive way by walking from Newfoundland to Florida.
From literally getting away from his problems.
With the hike over, Everhart will return to his home in Flag Mountain,
the southernmost mountain topping 1,000 feet in the Appalachians, where he serves as caretaker of a fire tower and
cabins built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Norman.
What a great job to have for an old person.
That's so much better than a Walmart greeter or any of that stuff.
It's like, hey, go watch that fire tower.
Yeah, be a lookout.
Norman, who publishes the Hiker Yearbook,
said Eberhardt probably
won't hang up his boots
anytime soon.
He said,
What did he hang up his boots for?
You know they're calling this
my final hike?
Then he laughed.
I don't think it's going to be
his last hike, said Norman.
I just don't think he knows
what he's going to hike next.
I just don't think anyone
can determine what his
laughter meant.
Alright, we'll get out of here on this.
Matthew Price,
Jason and Randy. I know what this is
building to. How old is MJ
all of a sudden he has
another name. MJ
Sonny Eberhardt. MJ said
the nimble nomad. I guess we did call him that
at the very beginning for some reason. MJ Sonny Eberhardt. MJ said the nimble nomad. I guess we did call him that at the very beginning.
MJ.
That's what I've been thinking the whole time. He is the MJ of hiking.
Michael Jordan, of course.
Michael Jackson.
I thought you meant MJ like in Spider-Man.
He's the Mary Jane.
He likes upside down kiss.
He's got to be older than Harvey Sutton, right?
Five-year-old Harvey Sutton?
I'm sorry, are you talking about Little Man?
Little Man.
Good job, Little Man. Okay.
Good job,
Little Man.
You the Little Man now,
dog.
Are we offering guesses?
Yes.
Go for it.
He's got to be older than Gray.
Gray beard has got to be 60.
Okay.
I'm going to say,
I'm going to give him a seven,
no,
84. Ooh. Because he's been doing it for 25 years. He was an optometrist for a bit. I'm going to say, I'm going to give him a seven, no, 84.
Because he'd been doing it for 25 years.
He was an optometrist for a bit.
I'm going to say 84.
Okay.
So you're saying he was an optometrist until he was 60?
I'm going to say he started at the end.
I might start walking.
I don't know.
He said one or two, one or two.
You know, he's like working in conversation.
Then he starts hiking.
This is back to your days on the trail.
You know what those first few steps are like. Yeah. I is back to your days on the trail. You know what those
first few steps are like.
Yeah.
I caught it.
I was contagious.
Those were also
his last few steps.
Yeah.
I hiked a quarter mile.
I'm going to say,
you said 82?
84.
I'm going to say 89.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Randy.
I think he's 90 years old.
90 years old.
I know.
All right.
I feel like his nickname would be like, it'd be like, old Niner. Nimble 90 think he's 90 years old. 90 years old. I know. All right. I feel like his nickname would be like,
it'd be like,
old Niners.
Nimble 90.
Nimble 90.
All right.
One of you is only one year off.
So all of you will now change up a year or down a year.
Oh.
Matt Price.
Oh, then I'm going to go up a year.
I'm going to say 85.
Okay.
I'm going to go down a year, 88.
Okay.
I'm going to say go down.
I'm going to just go up a year, 91 going to say I'm going to go up a year 91
Because he was 89
You're so far off the mic I don't know what you're doing
We don't have headphones on
I'm trusting you to tell us
I'm going to go up a year to 91
Because you were 89
And I can't go down
My reasoning being is that you probably stopped work
At 66
You add 25 years and this is it
I would check out MJ Sonny Reasoning being is that you probably stopped work at 66. You add 25 years and this is it.
I would check out.
MJ, Sonny Eberhardt.
The nimble nomad.
The nimble nomad is 83 years old.
Wow, Bryce.
You are so close.
All these guesses are close.
Just like your almost completion of the Appalachian Trail. So close. And the truth is I probably was your almost completion of the Appalachian Trail.
So close.
And the truth is, I probably was off on my guess the Appalachian Trail.
I probably hiked like 0.2 miles.
Fair enough.
You almost got that.
Price gets both on this one.
Wow.
There you go.
I have a trail bond.
I just have a trail bond.
And I am nimble.
December 19th at the Hollywood Improv go see Matt Price do stand up
his triumphant return
to the stage
and then in the new year
you'll get many other chimes
to check him out
