The 420 Episode is a collection of true stories from myself, friends, and athletes that I think you'll find entertaining. I've never done a proper 4/20 episode before, and I wanted to make sure I got one in before I end this podcast. So, this week you get a different episode. It's the 420 episode, the weed episode, the cannabis episode, the marijuana episode. If you have kids, maybe have them skip this podcast. But if you like to laugh, tune in. Some names have been changed to protect identity and image.

Benny and Luca Harrington were both born to be pro skiers. Their parents were featured in Warren Miller movies in the 90's, and these kids were born with skiing genes and the passion to be the best. And right now, the Harrington brothers are killing it. Benny's the built-like-a-tank older brother that's 2-time Olympic halfpipe skier and Luca is coming off back-to-back seasons of X Games Slopestyle Gold and recently took home his first piece of Olympic hardware with a Bronze. It's the "2 brothers, one podcast," episode and Uncle E asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Josh Malczyk is the Global Brand Director for K2 and Line Skis, he's a good friend, and a guy that I saw go from the bottom of the barrel of ski marketing with a niche brand, to the top of the food chain directing one of the industry's most iconic brands....From the core skier wearing Tall T's to the collared shirt wearing brand guy. It's fun to see friends grow up/move up and last time I talked with Josh on the podcast, he was secretly on his way out of Line Skis for the first time. On part 2,we talk about leaving his job, Season Equipment, coming back to Elevate Outdoor Collective, how K2 became a boot company, and how to bring K2 Skis back.
