Eric wants to learn poker, so I recorded our first full conversation.  This is a good intro to poker discussing things to think about on the felt.  We talk position, bet sizing, ranges, and the importance of being tight and aggressive, especially early in the learning process.  Thanks for listening, please post any comments or questions and I'll incorporate them into the next show!

Thomas Fuller (Gnightmoon) and I talk this week's main slate like a couple of touts.  This conversation came after an hour about the process, which I will publish soon.  

Thomas is a 16th year guide and my boss.  He came to Terlingua from the Arkansas River, Vernal, the Salt River, and Moab.  In this episode, he tells us about the time he spent a night in Santa Elena Canyon with all the guests' boats, but no guests.  Bumbling by Pictures of the Floating World, courtesy of FreeMusicArchive.

draft.com/MaverickUSC My passion is the river, but my profession is gambling.  For years I have played fantasy football professionally, and this season I have been a bit obsessive with best-ball contests.  This is a recording of me talking my way through my 51st best-ball draft of 2019.  I hope you enjoy!

On our way to drink beer and podcast by the river, Randolph and I were first responders in what quickly became a search and rescue mission.  After transferring care to the professionals, we then drank beer and recorded this episode.  Randolph is a guide in Moab by summer and Terlingua by winter.   Hooligan by Adam Henry Garcia, courtesy of FreeMusicArchive.

Today I dedicate the podcast to Gavin Smith, tell a story about almost having to give rescue breaths to a dog, reflect on my quest for life balance, get nerdy on Polaris, and consider what the best day of my life has been in listener questions.  Look at the River by Ayla Nereo, track from FreeMusicArchive.  Sound effects from SoundBible and XenoCanto.  Edited and recorded with Audacity.
