You can go right out your door and be in the most awesome hiking spot ever.
And we're live, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, thank you for joining NPR.
Please, no, I don't want to do that.
Bud Bretzman, Jeff Evans, Bud Bretzman, good friend of mine, next door neighbor.
And Jeff Evans, his buddy who apparently has lived a fucking crazy life,
rescuing people off of Everest, traveling up there.
And Bud told me we were at this little carnival with our kids.
He's like, gotta get this guy on, gotta talk to him. So, no pressure.
Yeah.
Your arm got put behind your back.
No, it didn't. It sounded good. I was interested.
Bring this asshole on your shoulder.
How did you get involved with, first of all, when was the first time you summited Everest?
2001.
God damn man. How many times have you done it?
Just once.
Just good move.
I kind of get a 1.5 because I had a blind dude with me.
Yeah, so you took a blind dude all the way to the top.
Why didn't you take him like halfway?
