The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

He goes, all right, get your chute and let's go.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

You're holding up the show.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

And so I struggle into my chute and I waddle after the leprechaun and I pile into the plane last because I'm going to be first out.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

And we are at 3,000 feet, way sooner than I want to be.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

There's a bunch of yelling.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

They cut the engine and a leprechaun turns to me and just goes, put your feet out, get out and go.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

Well, I've never done this before and it's windy out there, you know?

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

So I turned to the leprechaun and I say, sir, I'm having a boom.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

He stiff arms me out of the plane.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

And you know, my first thought was, wow, I've just been thrown out of a plane.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

My second thought was I wasn't ready, and my third, there was no third thought.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

My personally packed parachute deployed beautifully.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

Oh no!

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

I had it wrapped wrongly around my testicles, and it's like I'm floating to Earth on my testicles.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

And so what's a hippie to do?

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

I pull up on those risers, and I'm doing a pull-up, and I'm flying that chute everywhere.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

And I am zooming.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

And so just then, the leprechaun comes flying by in one of those really cool parafoil chutes, a modern one, and all I heard was, what the hell are you doing?

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

And all he heard was, my balls.

The Moth
Mission: Improbable: The Moth Radio Hour

And so things are happening pretty fast.
