Like we just flew forever in a helicopter over nothing at all.

Nothing except for this French family that we picked up randomly along the way.

And everybody's looking around and there's this real moment of what the hell are we going to do?

And then the guy who was the expedition leader recognizes these two dudes and he's like, oh, friends.

Oh, good to see you.

Blah, blah, blah.

And I'm thinking, what's going to happen?

When they realize we don't have any more vodka, medical ethanol.

And it turns out that they are, they were members of the Dolgon community, which is an actual family of subsistence people that still live up on the time era.

They heard reindeer and they had seen the helicopter and had wondered what we were up to and just set out over the landscape that they normally live on to try to find us.

Yeah.

Pretty cool, actually.

Well, we did.

They were disappointed that we didn't have any alcohol, obviously.

That's a theme.

It's a theme.

It was Russia, so it's a fair theme.

But the French couple...

This is just, you're not going to believe me when I say this, right?

Okay.
