Paddock didn’t have to auger any ice to find this beast.


 

Some quotes from the episode: 

“I think those guys were like the degenerate illuminate – they just knew all things dirtbag.” 
“We came up with the food pyramid of bad kid stuff.”
“Drink deeply, live freely deviate and discover.” 
“We did an entire series based on serial killers.” 
“They didn’t like the Gangplank – because the base said, gang.” 
“It turned into a passion project for us – we were given the opportunity to work on this (The Degenerati) during our own time.”
“I could hear a fart from a mile away in this office.” 
“…it started on a coaches jacket.” 
“Paddock, I think your car’s on fire!” 
“I think that stigma of it (weed) as being a rebellion thing is gone.” 
“…Slopestyle bong hits post-X-Games run.” 
“Everything in snowboarding is so image conscious – along with skate and surf. We can smell bullshit a mile away.” 
“I can smell weed right now!” 
“It’s a start-up mentality. There’s no sense dumping a ton of money into something that’s unproven…. We did what we could with the resources we were provided.” 
“It’s a pyramid scheme!”  
“Yo Dev – you get your (fishing) license? Nah, I’m not that worried about it.” 

“We’ll fish before work. I fish on my lunch break. We’ll fish after work.” 

Matt Stillman AKA Yung Bucket Mouse…

“We’re slowly trying to become the hill people.” 
“It’s muddy as hell here – you gotta have your shit kickers.” 
“We had an elaborate plan for the unveiling… that involved robes, a bum barrel fire, and sacrifices…” 
“Riding powder and fly fishing are very similar in my mind…”
