Ep.227 Summer Break - 2025 Float Trip Recap

Send us Fan Mail This week on The Days Grimm, join hosts Brian and Tom as they take a break from their usual schedule to bring you a special recap of their annual 2025 summer float trip. The duo recounts their adventurous weekend on the Current River in Donovan, Missouri, filled with hilarious mishaps and unforgettable moments. The episode kicks off with a story about a stop at a quirky, "redneck Buc-ee's"-style store called Boomland, where a search for the perfect garden gnome ensued. The main event, however, was the "Night of the Raccoons," a wild tale of a campsite invasion by a tactical team of trash pandas. Listen as the hosts describe their face-to-face encounter with a mother raccoon and her army of beady-eyed babies, leading to a late-night Google session on whether raccoons can open zippers and smell sealed Pop-Tarts. The adventure continues on the water with a harrowing tale of their tube flotilla getting dangerously tangled in a tree, resulting in a popped tube and a moment of pure helplessness against the river's current. Amidst the chaos, Tom showcases his legendary campfire cooking skills, whipping up everything from steak and rice to giant homemade meatballs. Tune in to hear all the details, from funny anecdotes about their fellow campers to brainstorming future float trip ideas like creating a "Current River Pirates" flag and training a raccoon army. It's a classic episode of bullshitting and reminiscing that gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the hosts' yearly tradition.
