Shaun Murray is a legendary wakeboarder who, after 29 pro models, is working on his 30th...Insane! On the podcast, we talk about his Best Day “Can You Ride It” event at Sea-Fair, Darin Shapiro’s Wakeboard “camp”, Tony Hawk, and more. Before we do that, I chat with Best Day Brewing Founder Tate Huffard about life, business, and beer. It’s a best of both worlds episode.

The Final Best of Inappropriate Questions, aka Part 2, is even better than Part 1. More laugh out loud stories, more uncomfortable answers, and and my favorite surprise guest of all time. This time, it's not just snow athletes that get into the mix and it makes for a great listen. Back to interviews next week.

Inappropriate Questions is how I end every show. The idea is that I find a friend of my guest and record 3 questions with them. The questions can be anything that gets the guest to tell a funny, crazy, embarrassing or really, any good story. The goal is to get some gold without pissing off the guest when I surprise them with the questions. This week, I have a long list of legends on this highlight show. Think Shannon Dunn, Tina Basich, Andy Hetzel, Colby Stevensen, Dane Tudor, Peter Olenick and many more. This is a fan favorite segment of the show, and this is some of the best of them.

Sammo Cohen was born into the ski industry. He had a famous ski photographer father, a mom at Alta, and he grew up skiing with ski industry royalty. That said, nothing was ever handed to Sammo. While there were early opportunities, to make it Sam had to break away from his Dad and become his own man in the ski industry. Doing that involved betting his college fund ojn a ski trip to Alaska that helped fuel the career that Sammo has built. On the podcast we talk about religion, death, Utah, skiing, money and so much more. Sam’s dad, Lee Cohen, askes the Inappropriate Questions.

Sammo Cohen Show Notes:

Lee Cohen may be the most dirtbag ski bum I’ve had on the podcast, and that's an honor, but that was back in his early 20’s. Eventually, Lee moved west from New York, picked up a camera and became the authority on what powder skiing photos should look like. Along the way, he followed the dead, had a pro skier kid, and shot some of the best photos that Utah skiing has to offer. It’s a business episode with one of those early creatives, who maybe weren’t all business, but still crushed it. Lee’s kid, Sammo Cohen asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Lee Cohen Show Notes:

Bas van Steenbergen has been a dual threat on his mountain bike for over a decade. Part racer and part freerider, Bas has the rare ability to compete at the highest level in both disciplines. While that’s cool, his story is even better. Growing up overseas with his equally as rad little brother Tom, Bas, raced BMX until he moved to Canada and bought a mountain bike. And while he got on a big bike later than most, that didn’t stop him and the rest is history. On the podcast, we talk about the status of the bike industry, sponsorship, Downhill, Rampage, content and more. Little brother Tom van Steenbergen asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Bas Van Steenbergen Show Notes:

4:00: Snowboarding, the bike industry, carnage after the pandemic, sponsors, bike compoundnds, movies, his crazy upbringing, biking in EU,

Sam Kuch has been blowing the collective ski world’s mind since he blew up after skiing with Stan Rey and crew on a 2016 Powder Highway trip. Since then, Sam has established himself as arguably one of the best skiers in the world. Between his Matchstick Productions parts and his Natural Selection performance, if you know skiing, you know Sam and if you don’t, now’s the time to find out what a rad dude he is. Plus, he has that throwback mentality that I love. Cole Richardson asks the Inappropriate Questions

Craig Murray, aka Weezy Davis, is arguably the best skier in the world. Fresh off a win at Travis Rice’s Natural Selection, an event where Craig went head-to-head with the best big mountain skierrs in the world and showcased a different vision, speed and style than almost anyone else in the comp…But what’s different about Craig is how humble he is. While skiing is something that he does and he’s one of the best, he can easily get lost in the crowd off the hill because he has zero ego or need to be known. He's one of those guys that's the best at what he’s doing now, and at some point, he’ll be the best at something else. He’s smart, calculated, and who knows where life will take this guy. Finn Woods askes the Inappropriate Questions

Craig Murray Show Notes:

4:00: His nickname, traveling with no passport, his brother, does biking influence his skiing, his sister, his adventure racer parents, growing up without a TV and having a loose leash, and moving to Chamonix at 17
