All right, just a little added context for this one before we dive in. You know I've been

interested in Patrice and her experiences with Mount Cantagoo and the portal ever since the

conversations with Richard Stanley and Miguel Connor, who I think was the first one to tell me

about this. Miguel's got a couple good interviews with Patrice as well if you're compelled to

hear more, but I didn't think this was going to happen. She's 85 years

She happens to live less than an hour from me, and maybe she ends up being a THC guest sometime too.

Who knows?

But Sochi does get mentioned a few times, so there's a little info about who she is, but she got me in contact with Patrice and we got it done. And that's all good to know, but the reason I would preface this interview at all is that we

had to do it in chunks.

The first and second chunks were the same day, so I think that flows together just fine.

But we had to record a third chunk about a week later, and without saying that up front,

it would just come off as weird.

You can imagine, after a week, there's a little bit of, did I say this last time?

And I can't remember if we talked about X, Y, or Z, etc.

So as we always do, we cleaned it up to be as smooth as possible.

And first hour listeners won't really notice.

But for the plus members who do get the full two-hour show, there is a split around an hour and 20 minutes, and then the last 40 minutes was

recorded a week later, and it was all stitched together. Not exactly ideal, but the good
