All right, it is KXPs

0:03

runcast the Ragnar edition of

0:05

the runcast I'm Kevin Cole here with

0:07

Megan Jasper.

0:08

Hello Kevin, and it's

0:10

a little different this year So it's

0:12

gonna be an interesting experience So we're gonna bring

0:14

you some of the sounds and the

0:17

feelings and what we're experiencing over

0:20

the course of this podcast Over

0:22

the course of our running the Ragnar

0:25

this year, which is about a 30 hour race

0:28

Yeah, we're gonna be running non-stop

0:30

all day all night and Anyone

0:33

who has done any endurance sport

0:36

knows that it really is all

0:38

about curveballs And we've already

0:40

had a bunch of curveballs because

0:43

we've had injuries on our team We've had people

0:45

who have had to duck out people who

0:47

last-minute have had to duck in So

0:50

we're starting with curveballs

0:51

hundred percent. And first of all Megan

0:54

is a curveball Megan

0:57

it is amazing to have you here on the

1:00

Ragnar relay because You're

1:03

such a integral part of the KXP

1:05

experience with Ragnar and you're

1:08

hurt you're injured So you can't actually run

1:10

this

1:10

year. I can't run I have a meniscus tear

1:12

and I've been told not to run and

1:15

I still really want to be part

1:17

of the team and Contribute so the

1:19

team was nice enough to keep

1:21

me included and I am the designated

1:23

driver So that you guys can just

1:26

focus on running I am going

1:28

to get that van everywhere it needs

1:30

to go and Just keep things orderly

1:32

in that way and that's

1:33

hero status because normally we

1:35

don't have a designated driver So

1:38

John can't make it this year. He's

1:40

injured and he had to bail like a

1:43

week or two ago I know he didn't want to it's

1:45

excruciating

1:46

We're so sad because John

1:48

brings such a special energy. He's

1:51

so inspiring so amazing

1:53

He holds so much of it all together

1:56

and he drives a ton and

1:58

runs like a maniac

1:59

And he's really gonna be missed. Yeah,

2:02

we're gonna miss him big time. He's our captain. And

2:04

we're gonna meet Kim and Scott

2:07

and Finn. Yep. While

2:09

we run 200 miles over the next day

2:12

and a half or so.

2:13

And we already love them because they're already

2:15

willing to sit in a smelly van with all of

2:17

us. Oh, 100%. So let's let

2:20

the adventure begin. But do you

2:22

wanna start with the song? Let's start

2:24

with the song. And if you don't

2:26

mind, let's start with Bully. Let's do

2:29

it.

2:29

Oh. Oh.

2:37

Oh. Oh.

2:46

Sometimes when I was an adder now, I'd

2:48

forget you had a side like

2:51

living before you were gone.

2:54

So I read up on the ephthalah,

2:56

I don't believe in Jesus Christ,

2:59

just somewhere we can all be alone.

3:03

And he moves slow, I'm really missing.

3:10

Back home, this love is on

3:13

the grave. And close,

3:15

so this has changed. Oh,

3:18

I know. Oh.

3:24

Oh. Oh.

3:30

And I'm stuck somewhere in between your

3:32

death and my lucid dream. I know,

3:34

help, mainly I know. But

3:38

I'm tired of trying to prove my worth to

3:41

be accepted on this earth. Maybe

3:43

I'm ready to go. And

3:47

he moves slow,

3:50

I'm really missing. Back

3:54

home, this love is on the grave. And

3:57

close, so this has changed.

4:00

14:17

is free with Beggin' For You, Girl Gang

14:19

with Rude Awakening, one at Ken's Picks,

14:21

Broncho with Class Historian, and

14:24

Megan starting things off with Bully in the song

14:26

Days Move Slow. I'm

14:28

Kevin Cole, on the road, literally, at

14:31

the Ragnar Relay, a road race

14:33

that starts at the Canadian border and takes you 200 miles

14:36

through forests, over mountains, and along

14:39

the sea. We're going to bring you along

14:41

throughout this podcast with musical

14:43

picks and reflections from some

14:45

of our team KEXP

14:46

Radiohead runners. Right

14:49

now we're at a major exchange where DJ Morgan

14:51

just finished running one of her legs on

14:54

both her legs,

14:56

barely. I sprained my ankle on

14:58

the first leg on a pothole. And

15:01

everybody's nightmare. I know, but it

15:03

could have been a lot worse, I'm thankful, because I

15:06

was able to run it off immediately and it didn't

15:08

hurt at first and it didn't start hurting until

15:10

after I was resting. So I've

15:12

been able to warm it up and I was

15:15

able to run my second leg successfully. And you've

15:17

been

15:17

advised by an expert that it's okay

15:19

to run right now. Yeah, one of my van mates. You aren't

15:21

further hurting yourself. Yeah, exactly. One of my van mates

15:24

is literally a running coach. Cool,

15:26

so do you listen to music when you run

15:29

a race like this? Oh yeah, definitely. So

15:31

what have you been listening to and what do you want to share?

15:34

Yeah, so one of my favorite albums

15:36

of the year is local band Spirit Award. The

15:39

Fear loved that album so much, but

15:41

the song Fantasy is so fun and it's such

15:43

a great song to run to, so that's definitely one. And

15:46

then another of my favorite songs from the last year

15:48

is Genesis Ousus, Get Inspired.

15:51

And how appropriate, Get Inspired, you know?

15:54

We're inspired in van 2, a little

15:57

fun fact, because it's Spirit Awards

15:59

Van. It is? And Thunderpussies.

16:02

I didn't know that! That's so cool! It's got great

16:04

energy. Nice, I love it.

17:30

I'm not a

17:32

bad man, but there's no pressure in

17:34

my head. You're over anything I have to

17:37

cry on. I got

17:39

to let you do what you

17:41

ask me to. Feel like an

17:43

angel in the moonlight. You

17:47

had to leave for the night. I'm only

17:49

gonna beat

17:51

your friends. And

17:54

I hope I see you again

17:58

soon. If

18:00

I would say to you If

18:07

I would say to you If

18:30

I would say to you If

18:41

18:48

18:56

19:11

Scotch has finished a grilling at 10 mile

32:16

overnight run and he ran

32:18

so fast we're being held up

32:20

at the exchange point which happens

32:22

to be in the parking lot of a casino where

32:25

we all stumbled out of the band, cold

32:28

and delirious to see what the hell was

32:31

going on so the word

32:33

that's going around to all the Ragnar

32:35

teams is that f*** from Van 1 has

32:37

a pretty hardcore gambling addiction and

32:40

so he ended up, cause there's so much

32:42

money going to the casino that

32:46

they just comped him a ton of rooms real

32:48

luxurious California kings, massive

32:51

screens, huge TV's so Van 1 is

32:53

here? Van 1 is here, everyone

32:56

has their own room they all

32:58

have room service Massachusetts?

33:00

yeah, they're all getting free massage

33:02

right now and their van

33:05

has two beds, two huge

33:08

televisions it's

33:10

a Vanchon they're

33:13

in a Vanchon right now and they're

33:15

all just getting spoiled and rotten at the casino

33:18

Why did

33:21

I love you babe? Just

we tried, even a thousand

34:07

times Would

34:12

they come back, or

34:16

am I dreaming? I

34:20

must be dreaming, yeah,

34:23

I must be dreaming

34:28

I keep believing,

34:31

fabled, and very

34:35

true I know I'm leaving,

34:40

inside my feeling

34:44

I thought our love

34:47

was meant to last I'm

35:01

sitting

35:19

blinded, mixing on

35:21

words To

35:27

scream, if I will,

35:29

now I've

35:32

been un-milled

35:39

All that reminds you

35:42

of everything going that's

35:44

deep I must

35:47

be dreaming, yeah,

35:49

I must be dreaming

35:54

I keep believing, fabled,

35:59

and very true I cry

36:01

on my own time Lamenting

36:11

days far

36:14

away If

36:17

we try even a

36:19

thousand

36:22

times I

36:25

say come back Or

36:29

am I dreaming? Dreaming

36:34

I must be dreaming Yeah

36:38

I must be dreaming I

36:40

can't believe it They

36:44

all And fairies

36:47

fail I know

36:49

I'm deep in Inside

36:54

my being I

36:56

thought our love Was

37:01

meant to last Whoa

37:28

That

37:28

is Raw Hill, a track featuring Beck

37:30

called Fables. One

37:32

of my runs was an overnight run alongside

37:34

the industrial outskirts of the Anacortes,

37:38

and alongside a refinery which looks

37:40

totally frickin' surreal all lit

37:42

up at night, knowing around.

37:45

From there I run about a half mile

37:47

on a footbridge over Fidalgo Bay, just

37:49

amazing, then drop into the dark woods

37:52

for about a quarter of a mile. Super

37:54

magical, transcendent run. Now

37:57

normally I like to run to rockin' up

37:59

tempo music

37:59

helps power me, but for this secluded

38:02

overnight run, I wanted to set a

38:04

moody, down-tempo electronic music

38:07

that would enhance the ambiance of running

38:09

alone in the middle of the night. I

38:12

started the set with a new song from

38:14

George Fitzgerald, a track featuring local

38:16

artist Simo, a song called

38:19

Mother.

38:30

All different I

38:36

take a pill but do feel more

38:39

like taking a moment Paper

38:45

in the race I'm

38:49

forever changed I

39:00

can lose control when nobody here knows that

39:18

I can be explosive bombs

39:20

of a back down nobody

39:34

here looks sorak was

39:37

it just like this? I

39:43

took one medicine, some

39:45

part of me wasn't living

39:50

they had to hold me down from

39:54

cello disease no,

39:59

I don't know I'm calling

40:01

the thing I love to release

40:03

here I've

40:07

kept it in the cave Starting

40:12

it for days I

40:16

can lose control when nobody

40:18

here knows that I

40:24

can be explosive, bones

40:26

of a bad day I'm

40:31

calling the thing I love to release here I

40:37

can be explosive, bones of a bad day I

40:44

can be explosive, bones of a bad day I

40:51

can be

40:53

explosive, bones of a

40:56

bad day I

40:58

can be explosive, bones of a bad

41:00

day I

41:06

can be explosive, bones

41:08

of a bad day I

41:13

can be explosive, bones of a

41:16

bad day I

41:18

can be explosive,

41:21

bones of a bad day I

41:30

can be explosive,

41:33

bones of a bad day I

41:49

can be explosive, bones of a bad

41:53

day I

41:55

can be explosive, bones of a bad day

42:29

whoa

43:19

thanks And

45:30

before me

45:33

in vanity

45:40

A lullaby from

45:43

45:45

1:01:52

That's new from Golden Features Romaren

1:01:55

on the track called Yield and T-Shaw

1:01:57

right before that song called The Light

1:02:00

I think it's hard to run while you're sobbing,

1:02:03

but I love the song, Hold

1:02:06

My Hand by Wild Pink. The

1:02:08

leader of Wild Pink, John Ross, had cancer

1:02:10

surgery recently and he

1:02:12

remembered a member of the

1:02:15

surgery team holding his hand

1:02:17

as he descended into

1:02:20

unconsciousness. And the song

1:02:23

with Julian Baker singing gorgeously

1:02:26

on it is an

1:02:28

affirmation about that. It

1:02:30

is so pretty. I really like

1:02:33

it a lot.

1:02:58

I was lost like a ring

1:03:00

of keys,

1:03:04

but you were there like light

1:03:07

in the morning. He

1:03:12

brought the birds back with

1:03:15

a song in that tree. I

1:03:17

never

1:03:20

I go when I go down.

1:03:27

Will you be there when I come

1:03:30

around again? To

1:03:36

hold my hand. Hold

1:03:44

my hand. Hold my hand.

1:03:51

Hold my hand. I

1:04:07

don't understand Everything

1:04:14

that's happened to me

1:04:20

God in my eyes quietly

1:04:22

tends Like

1:04:27

a deer underneath

1:04:29

the apple tree Just

1:04:36

lay right here with me

1:04:41

Cause I love

1:04:43

you so much I'm

1:04:47

laughing Every

1:04:50

week going we go for

1:04:52

good Do

1:04:57

you think we really need care

1:04:59

like we would? Hold

1:05:07

my hand I'm

1:05:41

laughing

1:05:45

Every

1:05:52

week going

1:05:56

1:06:03

my hand

1:06:27

Hold

1:06:29

1:07:58

of lust Out

1:08:02

1:08:06

1:08:08

the sky above my head Sun

1:08:12

came up through my

1:08:14

hands Sun came

1:08:17

up with no plan Sun

1:08:20

came up Strike

1:08:24

1:16:04

a man, I'm a man To

1:16:18

the end of life To

1:16:21

the end of life To

1:16:31

see something that feels

1:16:33

so wrong So

1:16:38

I say Is

1:16:45

that what I

1:16:47

need for yesterday?

1:16:52

Said that you'd think that

1:16:54

I'd walk Would

1:17:23

you want to hold on high? Was

1:17:35

that this time a killer's known?

1:17:45

So I say Is

1:17:51

that what you're running for yesterday?

1:18:00

Said that you'd think about

1:18:09

Said that

1:18:11

you'd think about Said

1:18:14

that you'd think about Said

1:18:24

that you'd think about Said

1:18:30

that you'd think about Said

1:18:39

that you'd think about Said

1:18:53

it's me Yes,

1:19:02

take the dream and be

1:19:05

afraid Said

1:19:13

it's me Yes,

1:19:23

take the dream

1:19:27

and be afraid Said

1:19:31

it's me Yes,

1:19:37

take the dream and be afraid

1:19:44

Yes, take the dream

1:19:46

and be afraid Said

1:19:50

it's me

1:19:57

of

1:20:00

her right before that bedroom with

1:20:02

it's just a bit of blood. My song

1:20:04

here is Pale Hounds, The Clutch. I

1:20:07

heard this song a couple weeks ago on KXP

1:20:09

and it's become one of my favorite songs in general

1:20:11

and also to run for.

1:20:12

As far as running, it has a couple of the qualities

1:20:15

that I like in a lot of songs, which is plenty

1:20:17

of energy for one thing and then a healthy

1:20:19

dose of angst in case I'm working something

1:20:22

out while I'm running.

1:20:23

The song in particular just has a lot of great things

1:20:25

about it. The guitar sound is amazing

1:20:27

and the whole sound really.

1:20:29

The solo and then I just

1:20:31

love the end, just kind of

1:20:33

the ending sequence. I'm glad you figured

1:20:35

things out and you found yourself but you did

1:20:37

need my help. Tell us such a great story on it's own.

1:20:40

So yeah, I love this song.

1:20:41

I didn't want to see that bloody hand

1:20:43

on your stomach, that my

1:20:45

hand. Take

1:20:48

a time on top of

1:20:50

the earth where

1:20:52

there's the land. I didn't want you

1:20:54

to see me naked and back

1:20:57

to where I'm laying down. And staring

1:20:59

at the sun, staring at the sun. I

1:21:11

didn't want

1:21:13

to talk and find more

1:21:16

reasons to keep the sun secure. Thank

1:21:48

you. I

1:22:20

didn't mean to hurt you, you didn't

1:22:22

mean to show me how

1:22:26

Sudden wind drags the coal up through the

1:22:28

far out of the bend

1:22:31

The sands, I'm glad that you know

1:22:33

better now And I'm glad

1:22:36

that you found yourself, but you didn't need

1:22:38

my home No,

1:22:43

you didn't need my home No,

1:22:50

you didn't need my home No,

1:22:56

you didn't need my home You

1:23:03

didn't need my house You

1:23:08

didn't need my house You

1:23:15

didn't need my house You

1:23:29

didn't need

1:23:31

my house You didn't

1:23:33

need my home You

1:23:37

didn't need my... You

1:23:44

didn't need my house Can

1:23:50

we erase our history? Is

1:23:53

it as easy as this? Plausible,

1:23:57

deny it, birdie I

1:24:00

swear I'm in a head of

1:24:02

it And I can

1:24:04

close the door on us

1:24:07

But the room still exists

1:24:10

And I know you're in it Hours

1:24:14

of phrases I've memorized Thousands

1:24:18

of lines on the page All

1:24:21

of my notes in a desolate

1:24:23

pile I haven't touched

1:24:25

an image And

1:24:28

I can burn the evidence But

1:24:31

I can't bear the pain

1:24:34

I can't forget How

1:24:39

does it feel to be

1:24:42

an expert in a dying field? And

1:24:45

how do you

1:24:48

know it's over When you can't

1:24:50

let go, you can't let go

1:24:53

You can't stop, you can't rewind

1:24:56

But I've just learned over time Tell

1:24:59

you're an expert in a dying

1:25:01

field The

1:25:17

city is painted with memory The

1:25:20

water will never run clear The

1:25:24

birds and the bees and the flowers and

1:25:26

trees They know that we're both

1:25:29

in here And

1:25:31

I can flee the country

1:25:33

for the last of a

1:25:36

year But I'll come back to it

1:25:41

How does it feel

1:25:44

to be an expert in a dying

1:25:46

field? And how

1:25:49

do you know it's over

1:25:52

When you can't let go, you

1:25:54

can't let go You can't stop,

1:25:56

you can't rewind But I've just learned

1:25:59

over time So you've got

1:26:01

time, till you're an expert

1:26:03

in a dying field

1:26:20

Can we raise our history?

1:26:23

Is it as easy as this? Maybe

1:26:27

in other realities, the

1:26:30

road never took this twist

1:26:34

And I can close the door

1:26:36

on us, but the room still

1:26:39

exists How

1:26:52

does it feel? How do you know?

1:26:57

How do you know? Can't

1:27:05

stop, can't rewind, love

1:27:07

is land of a type

1:27:11

Till you're an expert

1:27:13

in a dying field How

1:27:18

do you know?

1:27:20

How do you know? My

1:27:28

name is Finn Sutherland. It's my first time doing

1:27:30

Ragnar. It was a great experience overall.

1:27:34

One moment that I'm just thinking of that really sticks out

1:27:36

was right at the end of my last leg. It

1:27:39

had been kind of a tough leg, physically. I was having a good time,

1:27:41

but my body was tired. And

1:27:43

the end was just going down a big hill, into

1:27:46

the breeze, towards the ocean, listening to good music. And

1:27:50

I had such a big second wind and got to kind

1:27:52

of race into my team. They

1:27:55

had their toilet paper finish line out for me. And

1:27:57

it was just a really fun time. I

1:28:07

get

1:28:10

anxious on the weekends

1:28:12

When I feel

1:28:15

I'm wasting time But

1:28:18

then I think about

1:28:21

Tom Petty And

1:28:23

how he wrote his best songs when he

1:28:25

was 39 Say

1:28:30

I'm young enough to change

1:28:32

Please say I'm young enough Say

1:28:35

I'm young enough

1:28:38

1:28:40

1:28:43

1:28:46

you want to And let

1:28:48

your spirit flow Step

1:28:52

into whatever you

1:28:54

want to I

1:28:59

get anxious on the weekdays

1:29:04

With the fear of missing out

1:29:09

But then I think about my good

1:29:11

friends And how they always

1:29:14

love me when I am feeling down

1:29:18

Say I'm young

1:29:20
