Isaac, Don’t Tripp

[Spoken Intro] Steve Tripp had a son… And somehow, the bad ideas got worse. Isaac “Don’t” Tripp! [Verse 1] DOC ranger down in Te Anau, Guarding the wild while he’s out running wild. Patella tendons screaming, headphones dying, But Dad’s still in, so Isaac keeps climbing. Thirteen times up Cargill through the dark and rain, Nineteen backyard loops to properly cook his brain. Ran Rakiura unsupported with his dad and Wild Chris, 125 k of mud-soaked family bliss. [Chorus] Isaac, don’t Tripp! Isaac, don’t fall! Line 5 is waiting, so he’ll climb it once more. 50,011 meters, 5.65 Everests high, Thirty days behind him, one last day to survive. Isaac, don’t Tripp! The finish is in sight, 3,100 more, then nuggets Friday night! [Verse 2] Kepler in 9:25, Three Peaks in the rain, When your father manufactures suffering, it must run in your veins. He signed up saying, “Sounds dumb, I’m in,” Which explains the entire Tripp family tree again. No music sounds good and no podcast remains, Just hash browns, chicken nuggets and malfunctioning knees. Ask him for a random fact, he hasn’t got a clue, Ask him why he keeps climbing: “Dad’s still in, so I am too.” [Final Chorus] Isaac, don’t Tripp! Isaac, stand tall! Tomorrow’s the last time Line 5 gets the call. Run, hike, survive till the final watch beep, Then beat Steve home and let the old bastard sleep. Isaac, don’t Tripp! One last summit to go— Finish what your father started and steal the bloody show! [Outro] Dad’s still in… So I am too.
