Josh Lin:
Tag, I want you to meet my cousin Natalie. And Natalie, I want you to meet my old friend Tag.
Tag:
You two are cousins?
Natalie Bauer:
Yeah. Uh. We... Well...
Josh Lin:
From my stepmom's side, so that would technically make us step-cousins.
Tag:
Oh.
Natalie Bauer:
A distinction that only really matters if you're from Alabama.
Josh Lin:
[laughs]
She's such a joker.
[Natalie laughs]
Tag:
Yeah. Walden?
Natalie Bauer:
Oh.
Tag:
That's my favorite book. I reread it every year.
Natalie Bauer:
Really?
Tag:
Yeah.
Natalie Bauer:
Wow.
Tag:
No way!
Tag:
[chuckles]
Yeah. Isn't Thoreau the best?
Natalie Bauer:
Well, some people find him a self-obsessed narcissist, fanatical about self-control, not to mention a total hypocrite, but personally, I find him so inspiring.
Tag:
"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
[sighs]
Tag:
I'm sorry. It gets me every time.
[chuckles]
Natalie Bauer:
If anyone gets it, it's me.
Tag:
God. Have we met before? Because you look so familiar. I... I just can't put my finger on it.
Josh Lin:
Unlikely. Natalie just flew in from California this morning.
Natalie Bauer:
This morning.
Tag:
I actually teach a survival course in Yosemite every summer.
Natalie Bauer:
Savage!
[clears throat]
Tag:
I guess you could say that, yeah.
Natalie Bauer:
I love Yosemite. It's, uh, I mean, there's some gnar-like, gnarly climbing there.
Tag:
You climb?
Natalie Bauer:
Me?
[scoffs]
Natalie Bauer:
Do I climb? I'll climb anything that moves. I'm an aggro.
Tag:
Aggro?
Josh Lin:
Yeah, like aggressive. Aggro.
[growls]
Natalie Bauer:
An aggressive climber. I climb all kinds of things like ladders, um, houses, um, trees, ladders... Mostly ladders.
[chuckles]
Tag:
That's cool. Um, a few of us are climbing at Rock Ventures tomorrow. Wanna join?
Josh Lin:
Hell yeah! Let's do it.
Tag:
Great.
Natalie Bauer:
Mm-hmm.
Tag:
10:00 a.m.?
Natalie Bauer:
Perfect.
Tag:
Um. Well, hey, it was nice to meet you, Natalie. I'll see you guys at 10:00 a.m.
Josh Lin:
See you, bro.
Natalie Bauer:
Climb you later!
[chuckles]
