Chris breaks down his interest in the pumpkin float record, everything that went into the record attempt and barely surviving (not actually) the Delaware river.

Gonna tell my kids this was George WashZINgton crossing the Delaware

[@jakecarlson5748]

Would definitely love more of these types of stories

[@dawnhenson2147]

Love the pumpkin adventure! You are all winners in my book!

[@Abundant_Lax]

Valiant effort; great adventure!

[@davidcrawford1551]

From London U.K. - Great effort and respect for going for it. Good to know everybody's ok. But keep testing yourself.

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

Failure? The crew involved will be telling this story until they die. How often do we do something that stays with us forever. Especially, with a positive vibe.

Wetsuit sponsor + Sonar sponsor + Helmet sponsor + Hot hands stickum chem packs sponsor + yellow rubber duckies with gps tags sponsor = world record. Amazing you made it so far on white knuckled guts alone!

[@MichaelW969]

I watched your.Monday pod but had NO idea it was a real f'in pumpkin. LMAO.

[@rogerleikness9883]

My 10 year old wants to wear an inflatable pumpkin, his Waterboys t-shirt and headlamp carrying a paddle for his Halloween costume

[@joshmowry6514]

I dig all this; avid whitewater kayaker...prefer to go solo, but to your point to test myself Climbing does the same thing for me...

[@kitziezacharias3111]

Great story, you guys should be so proud.

[@custosdesign1053]

Could you guys post a map of exactly where you went? I kayak on the Delaware a lot & it’d be so interesting to see the stretch you covered. Especially where those rapids were.

[@ChrisLong-dy2uo]

Basically Milton beach to Portland

[@RandyOlsen-w5q]

What a great and crazy adventure. Thanks for sharing all the details.

[@elizabeth7563]

Epic

[@stephenmadeira8889]

I’m from stroudsburg grew up going to that part of the Delaware river. One of my favorite places glad you guys got to see it. Definitely worth a trip back that isn’t as challenging. A lot of cool spots along that river and cool hiking spots all over that area.

[@stevenspurlock7417]

Congratulations Chris "I'm not trying to turn a pumpkin float into a self help video... challenges that humble you and break you down" I couldn't relate more. Very well spoken.

[@johnbrown-sc8in]

Susquehanna river next time..much more manageable,,great story

[@charlenewoodley9495]

Went kayaking on the Delaware with my husband and a friend this past Friday. Came across a giant pumpkin. Didn't know what a pumpkin was doing in the river! 😂 Figured someone was trying to use it as a boat. Then I came across this video. Sooooo close!

[@peterbparis]

Really profound pod. Ryen russilo who?

[@pwnsl1707]

I did not plan on listening to this whole thing but it was a great story told well. Very inspirational to people who understand what it is to be a person who needs things like this in their life to feel solid. Thanks for sharing!

[@ShelbyBaby27]

Charlie Brown has 24hrs to respond I'm convinced that giant pumpkin floating down the Delaware is responsible for The Phillies success!

[@denimchicken420]

The adventures of Stoner Chris ;) *And yes, I know he said he wasn't stoned during the trip - I'm talking about the inception of the trip. Cannabis and/or shrooms were definitely part of that process.

[@peterbparis]

Macon was right to worry about this being a life threatening act of stupidity!

[@rollandpacheco1858]

Your next challenge should be grabbing a Fighting Bull (the bulls arn’t huge, might I say black bear size.) If you look up Portuguese Suicide Squad you will find all sorts of videos. “Forcado” is the Portuguese word. It takes a team of 8 so you can either practice with a group, then participate. Or if you can find 8 willing friends to practice together that would be amazing! This is the High School Football of Portugal, a lot of just regular dudes that milk cows and rip cigs do it. Fits perfectly the description of “just ballsy, not skilled.” I grabbed for 2 years until I took my now wife and she watched me get my head stepped on lol. Don’t worry I’m fine, only got concussed.

[@rollandpacheco1858]

I think the nearest place to you that holds these bloodless bullfights would be Dundalk, Ontario.

[@stolve8847]

A friend of mine lost his phone in kayak. "My phone!" dips the ore in the water can't reach the bottom. "Oh well, it's gone." Gotta keep your composure and accept the L.

[@chancesmith3589]

Python Cowboy check him out. Boar or snake hunt. Give it a run. He’s had Warren Sapp out on a hunt.

[@lindaheflin3191]

Macon was truly worried so I kept trying to follow. Your wife is amazing, I would have really put my hubby in straight jacket! Glad you all are alright. Love the podcast.
