Welcome to Rick and That Michelle Chick, the weekly
0:05
podcast where your hosts, Rick and Michelle, confidently dive
0:10
into topics they know absolutely nothing about and somehow make
0:15
it sound legit. They're not experts.
0:17
They're not qualified. Honestly, they barely googled
0:20
it. So grab a drink, lower your
0:23
expectations, and let's pretend this counts as content.
0:28
So buckle up. Facts are optional, but the
0:31
bullshit? That's premium grade.
0:34
This is Rick and that Michelle chick.
0:41
So just like UMM Logan, who likes to critique our podcast my
0:46
my Cousin Tara, what are you doing?
0:51
It's my it's my new microphone. For the people that can't are
0:54
not watching on video, Rick is. Rick is being weird.
0:58
I know what was that. It's the charge, it's the
1:00
charger. So not to get you off course,
1:02
but last week, remember, the dog went underneath.
1:05
The went underneath. Oh yeah, your ring light ripped
1:09
this out and it went flying. And so now I can't get it to
1:11
work. I mean, it's a $15.
1:15
Ring light. Yeah, I know.
1:16
Exactly. Looks like the O from Hollywood
1:19
Squares. Yeah, yeah, actually it does.
1:22
What am I? Yeah.
1:23
So, I mean, you can put that on your your Christmas list.
1:25
Now you need a new ring. So right, So right now we've got
1:27
the guest room lane. We're so high tech.
1:31
Big. Big budget on this podcast, you
1:34
know, I sit around I I see all the big stars, I see the boy Boy
1:38
Meets World podcast people I see you name it, they've all got
1:42
podcasts and I have to make the assumption they got a bigger
1:45
budget than this because this is I would.
1:47
Yeah, maybe just a little, just a little bit bigger.
1:50
Yeah. Yeah.
1:52
OK, well, let's get back. So my cousin Tara, like Logan,
1:56
listens and she called me because she had a couple things
2:00
to say about our podcast. She agrees with Logan that you
2:05
talk too much and she, which we know that we are.
2:09
This is nothing new to any of us, and that she now knows way
2:13
more than she even wanted to about comic books.
2:17
Oh, well, I told you. Well, I had, we had discussed,
2:20
we had discussed that no one would care about that
2:23
particular, that subject that much and.
2:25
We all know way more than we wanted to.
2:27
I will, you know what, now I will defend myself really quick
2:31
in terms of comic books, as long as we and as long as we work
2:34
together. Michelle, how often did I bring
2:37
up comic books? Honestly, Truthfully.
2:39
I mean, very rarely, unless it again, like you were bidding on
2:43
one on eBay while we were doing a radio show because you were
2:48
distracted by eBay or something like that.
2:51
Then we would discuss it like, Oh well, which one are you
2:54
trying to get or? Right, right, but but that.
2:57
Kind of thing. But no, you didn't you didn't
3:00
like drone on and on about your comic book.
3:03
So which ones you have? And no, you never did that.
3:07
You're not that. But but, yeah, even as long as
3:09
you know me, 20 + 20 + 30 years that I've known you and a lot of
3:13
people have made that comment like, you know, yeah, they know
3:15
I collect comic books, but it's like I don't, I don't ever
3:18
discuss it. I really don't.
3:19
That was the one time that we actually discussed it.
3:23
And so it's like, and, and so a normal conversation or where if
3:27
you're a rabid super fan, so I've got a Co worker at work,
3:30
he's a rabid super fan of the Seahawks, of the Kraken, of the
3:34
Mariners, of comic books, of Star Wars.
3:37
And so the first like minute or two you're like, oh, that's
3:41
interesting. And then, OK, now I'm done, you
3:43
know? That's a lot of things to.
3:46
Oh yeah. Have those like a hobby type
3:49
thing. Normally I have one or two and,
3:51
but that's a. Lot so I've come to the
3:53
conclusion that my Co worker he has got to be a little bit on
3:58
the spectrum. His son, his son is autistic.
4:01
I know for sure, but I thought he like we've talked about this
4:04
in the podcast. He's an expert at everything
4:07
like if you mentioned if you mentioned like my my my big
4:10
truck outside and it's jacked up.
4:12
Oh, he, he knows all about the hydraulic hydraulic system and,
4:15
you know, so, so I mean, he like, yeah, I could go on for
4:19
hours about all the things that he likes.
4:21
And he's the, I mean, he's the expert in those, those
4:24
particular things. I'm like, I'm like, that's too
4:26
much brain. I mean, I, my brain has so much
4:30
capacity. Yeah.
4:33
Doesn't your brain have so much capacity?
4:35
Yeah, mine has less than yours. Well, it's so much capacity, so
4:39
it's like it's hard enough to concentrate on, on just what
4:42
things I do like. Yeah, it's it's hard for me to
4:45
remember what I ate yesterday. So I don't even have kids like,
4:50
like younger kids at home anymore.
4:52
Like that was chaos back when they were all under the roof.
4:55
But yeah. And I also checked in with our
4:58
friend John Taylor and he said he's good.
5:01
He said to send you his best and that he's enjoying the podcast.
5:05
So there's there's three people that listen to us right there,
5:09
Logan, Tara and John Taylor. So.
5:11
That's wonderful. Well, thank you.
5:13
And yes, I and I have, I have taken it all under advisements
5:17
that that you know. You need to talk less.
5:22
Well, it's there, yeah, it's but it.
5:25
Is and we discussed like you mentioned before, there are no
5:30
commercial breaks or music and yeah, so we can just drone on
5:35
and on and on. Not that people want to hear
5:38
that, but. So the cool thing about radio
5:40
is, you know, you really have to look at it like in two to three
5:43
minute segments. And even at 3 minutes, you're
5:46
you're, you're really overshooting.
5:48
Yeah, yeah. Because the the thing about
5:51
radio is a little behind the scenes about radio is the
5:55
average person's commute is 1520 minutes.
5:58
So your goal is to get a couple songs in, play some commercials,
6:02
hopefully do something that's interesting to keep them
6:04
engaged. And and that's why on radio,
6:07
especially at music station and a morning show, you know, once
6:10
you hit two to well, once you get 3 minutes, man, it's like.
6:15
Right, which is why a lot of times too you would hear stuff
6:19
recycled. So like if ever like if somebody
6:21
listened for the entire 3 or 4 hours.
6:24
So that's why you would hear like something that you heard in
6:27
the 6:00 hour, in the 8:00 hour again, so.
6:31
Yeah, because like because the average person that listens to
6:34
radio really only listens 20 minutes a day, right.
6:36
But and then they go in and out and so, and then and then if, if
6:40
you've been listening to a morning show for many years,
6:43
they're going to, I mean, there's going to be the same
6:44
stories or the same topics. The nice thing about radio,
6:47
though, is they hadn't heard the story before.
6:50
So, so a great example on on the air today.
6:53
We were talking about Thanksgiving site.
6:56
Oh, no. In our other people's problems,
6:57
we had a situation where there was a little boy, he was 8 years
7:00
old and all he wants is pizza. And so his mom is trying to
7:05
figure out, right. And so I had told the, I had
7:08
told the story from my book about Pearl.
7:12
I had to at least try one food at least at least once.
7:16
And then if I didn't like it, I didn't have to eat it.
7:17
And so a great example is they they I like sauerkraut or liver
7:23
onions or cow's tongue or. Any of that stuff.
7:27
Yeah, so even when I was 8 years old, the down on the Bogans
7:30
Oasis, my mom is a great cook. I'm a great cook.
7:34
And it was interesting that I that that was the beauty of
7:36
living in the restaurant is the fact that they would, she would
7:39
make that, like she'd make mom and dad sauerkraut or whatever
7:42
and I'd get a hamburger, which was cool.
7:45
So really. The exception to most kids?
7:49
Like right? So the.
7:50
Moms are not a short order cook and they're.
7:52
No, no, I get it. So the cool thing is I'm doing
7:55
this on the air today and I get this Facebook message from
7:58
somebody and they got my book open to where I'm talking about
8:03
the, the, the food now. And like this she goes, this
8:05
sure seems familiar. The, the, the Facebook person
8:08
who, you know, And so they had it open to that, that chapter
8:12
where I'm talking about and, and then I'm on the air talking
8:14
about other people's problems or that particular situation.
8:16
So it's interesting how all that is nebulous and, and different
8:20
things like that and all these, these different stories that,
8:23
that, that we have to tell. And, and so the nice thing about
8:26
the podcast is, yeah, we do get to embellish or we get to, you
8:29
know, talk a little more about well, yeah, but I think you get
8:33
a, you get an opportunity to, to, to, I think dwell deeper.
8:37
Yes. Into into into a story.
8:40
And so hopefully, you know, and hopefully it's not boring, you
8:42
know, and I get it. I get I mean, I get comic books
8:45
for some people like no, I mean, I but but see, I think you've
8:50
got to be. I've been very fortunate that
8:54
and you know this about me too self aware that I know like I
8:58
can tell when I'm in a conversation where I'm like, oh,
9:00
this is a this is a dud. Right, right.
9:03
You know I need to. Right.
9:06
Find an off ramp and talk about something.
9:07
Different right, but but you and I both had Co workers where
9:10
you're like Oh my God, I I can't you know they.
9:12
They don't get it. They don't get the cues.
9:15
Well, it's a great example. I have a Co worker at work right
9:17
now who their kid is. It's a great, she's a great
9:20
baseball player, which is awesome.
9:22
But what's so funny is he'll come in, talk about two minutes
9:25
about, oh, my, my daughter. I'm like, oh, that's awesome.
9:28
Then he starts going, well, Coach says.
9:30
And then he starts breaking down into rules and the complexities
9:33
of softball, and I'm like, OK, all right, you know, And he just
9:37
keeps going, going, going, going, going, like I'm kind of
9:39
doing on the podcast right now. Right.
9:41
Yeah, yeah. And I'd just be thinking, you
9:44
know what, your kid is not gonna make it in the majors.
9:47
So I mean. Oh, don't go.
9:49
Oh, I mean, the percentage, I don't, I mean, the likelihood
9:53
that your kid is going to make it in the majors is a very, very
9:57
small percentage. I mean, when my son played
10:00
baseball at nine years old and these men that are coaching are
10:03
losing their goddamn minds because we're losing.
10:07
And it's like, and they're yelling at the kids.
10:09
It's like they're nine. They are not going to end up in
10:14
Major League Baseball. The percentage of any of these
10:17
kids is slim to none, but they're going to make it on a
10:19
Major League Baseball team. Sure, it could happen and that
10:22
would be awesome, but let's just let them play baseball because
10:26
they're nine and have fun, not like sucking the life out of it.
10:30
You know, for a short period in in Yakima.
10:33
So Logan. Logan has done the YMCA, He's
10:37
done basketball. Logan in high school, he was on
10:40
the wrestling team, he was on the football team.
10:42
He's on all these things that I that I wasn't.
10:44
But I will tell you that he was probably about eight or nine
10:47
years old and. And coach Will you remember
10:50
Coach Will? I don't know what's that you
10:52
remember Coach Will in Yakima. OK, so so that's How I Met Coach
10:56
Will was Logan was on the soccer team in Yakima.
10:58
I think it was for the Y Navy. So Logan, at that age, I saw him
11:03
out on the field and he was struggling.
11:06
And of course, me being that dad, no, I didn't do it to I
11:09
never did it to Logan. I run fast.
11:11
No, no, no, no, I'm not. Again, again.
11:14
Yeah, I'm not that guy. But but I remember going up to
11:17
the coach and saying and I went and I go, how's how's Logan
11:20
doing? You know, and coach, we all
11:22
being awesome. He just looks at me and goes and
11:25
Logan was out there huffing and puffing and doing the best he
11:28
could. He.
11:28
Was trying. He was trying and that's really
11:31
what counts. And coach Will goes.
11:33
He goes. You know what?
11:34
Logan may not be the fastest on the team.
11:37
He goes, but he plays with hearts and she and he goes, I
11:41
take. I goes, I take, he goes.
11:43
I take 10 Logan's over the the best player on the team.
11:46
Well, you'd need 10 Logan's to win, I mean.
11:48
Right. Well, and usually usually they
11:51
are easily coachable. Like they are.
11:53
Coachable, You know, so they listen better, right?
11:55
So. Then so.
11:56
I've had, you know, I've had those, those proud, those proud
11:59
moments with Logan that I mean, and I have the photo, I got to
12:02
bring out the photo someday, but I got the photo, yeah, packed
12:05
away of him. So yeah, that.
12:07
Yeah. Now we could talk about that on
12:08
a different podcast about what what an expectation is from for
12:12
sports. It's not.
12:13
Yeah, yeah, cuz Benjamin, he, he hit like a winning run for like
12:19
this inner city league. So I could tell that story
12:21
because it's probably like the one time like I was like crying
12:25
like during one of my kids games cuz it was so important and so
12:29
important to him. But yeah, we can save that for
12:31
another podcast. I did find something in storage.
12:34
What'd you find? It's the little bull.
12:37
Yeah, Oh my. God, little bee baby like a.
12:43
Beanie, Beanie bowl. It's a beanie bowl.
12:45
Yeah, it's like the last three boxes out of storage.
12:47
They were all the kids stuffed animals.
12:50
Wow. Yeah, I think Jackson had one
12:51
and Shaylee had one. This is the other one doesn't
12:54
have its shirt on. I don't know what the kids were
12:55
doing, but this one came with this little 92.9 the bull shirt.
13:00
So yeah, I'm just beginning with my radio stuff.
13:03
Those Beanie Bulls were so popular.
13:05
I think I may have one in storage still tucked away
13:07
underneath our underneath our stairs.
13:09
I will tell you one of the coolest things, coolest memories
13:11
of those those Beanie Bulls was Chris Cagle had come to the
13:15
Yakima Fair. And so during one of the
13:18
concerts and we had gotten the presents for Chris Cagle.
13:21
This is back in the day when they gave you presents or
13:23
welcomed your presents and so. OK, well explain.
13:25
I don't think we've discussed presents or welcome before in
13:28
like past podcasts or just. And it's really OK.
13:32
Yeah, you. Yeah.
13:33
And this is really, and this has really changed in radio.
13:35
But it used to be 1 hell of a fight.
13:38
So what happened? It was like knock down drag out
13:41
who got. To and now and now looking back,
13:44
truthfully, it's ridiculous when you think about it's just the
13:46
dumbest crap ever. But hey, that's the way radio
13:49
rolled back in the day. So here's the deal.
13:52
When an artist comes to town, like this weekend, this weekend
13:55
we've got Zach Top coming. You know, huge country artist.
13:57
He's doing 2 shows Saturday and Sunday night.
14:00
He's the biggest this thing on the planet right now.
14:01
He's from Sunnyside. Zach Top, he's from Sunnyside.
14:04
Huge deal. He's up for several Cmas.
14:06
He's I don't know if you've heard of him, Michelle yet, but
14:09
he's a traditional country artist like in the vein of
14:12
George Strait, Alan Jackson. He's got three big number one
14:15
hits on the radio. So it we're playing Zach top
14:18
nonstop and he's from Sunnyside, which is an amazing thing.
14:21
So so he's come to town. So this weekend, my competition,
14:26
the Wolf and KORD, we're both allowed to be on site.
14:30
Like we could be on site. Now, back in the day, they would
14:33
divvy up who could be on site, who could have access to the
14:37
artists. And there's this thing I know we
14:40
did discuss being a reporter like you reported your records
14:44
and then we talked about the promoter and different things
14:46
like that. So if you were a reporter, it
14:48
weighed heavily to where, oh, well, KXDD is going to get the,
14:53
the presents. And so when we signed the bull
14:55
on way back in 2000, 2001, I wasn't even part of the station
14:59
at the time for the bowl. I remember Cheryl going to have
15:02
to go to the, the, the fair of award and they, you know, so the
15:06
night is so a great example if you're, if you're the only
15:09
classic rocket station in town. Well, if Blue Öyster Cult was
15:12
coming, you got that show automatically.
15:14
Right. But, but you would fight over
15:18
the, the, the, the, the country station would fight or the Top
15:20
40 would fight or. The two country stations in town
15:23
that we have. Yes.
15:25
Now what that got you was basically, oh, you got to go on
15:27
stage. Hi everybody, right before.
15:29
The Yeah. Yes, Oh my gosh, that's Chris
15:31
Hagel. I welcome to the fair.
15:33
Now the cool thing, Michelle, back in the day was they used to
15:38
let you like right and like the band would come out and start
15:41
the show. That was the cool thing about
15:44
it. So you'd be like, and here's
15:45
Chris Kegel and they go that music are already playing.
15:49
It's a it's a rock star moment. Well, nowadays they do what they
15:53
call soft openings. So guess what, your ass and if
15:57
even if you get the welcomes, your ass goes out there 15
16:01
minutes before the the the even the first act I.
16:06
Mean nobody's even in their seats they're.
16:08
Also getting their you welcome people, you can throw out some
16:11
T-shirts or whatever, you get to welcome them and that's it at
16:15
the fair here. The hilarity at the fair here is
16:18
you welcome everybody. They do the Star Spangled Banner
16:22
or the national national anthem or whatever.
16:24
Then you wait 10 minutes before the ACT even come comes out.
16:27
So and they call it a soft opening.
16:29
So but we used to fight like cats and dogs to get the
16:33
presents and welcome. So when you hear these promos,
16:36
which is a little recorded commercial on the air, they go
16:38
92.9. The bull welcomes Chris Cagle to
16:41
the you know, welcome is not is not the same as presents.
16:45
So then you hear KXTD going KXTD presents Garth Brooks at the
16:49
fair, and so you'd know who has welcomes or presents welcomes.
16:53
Means nobody knows the difference.
16:54
Who? Knows.
16:56
Like normal listeners understands that other than us
17:00
and radio like who would even know the difference?
17:05
No one. No, no, exactly.
17:07
And no. And so and so you would fight
17:09
like cats and dogs to get these things for your two minutes up
17:11
on stage. And then and then you'd be
17:14
dastardly about it. I mean, you would try to do
17:16
whatever you could do to undermine the other guy.
17:19
So he'd had, let's say he had his roller banners up or
17:21
whatever, and you'd go and take all of his roller banners.
17:23
And these were vicious radio. We used to go in roller banner
17:26
the night before, remember? That Oh yeah, so none of that's
17:30
allowed anymore. Like it's not a well who has OK
17:34
number one, who has roller banner?
17:36
Who has T-shirts? Who has stickers we don't have,
17:39
We don't have any of that stuff. And so but, but, but the venues
17:44
got tired. The venues got tired of all the
17:47
fighting. And I'm going to call my record
17:50
Rep. And, and So what happened was,
17:53
especially with country music, Carrie Underwood or whoever
17:57
would say, said, I want both country stations there.
18:00
It's more, I mean more ticket sales for them.
18:03
It's better for them. It it makes you're both.
18:05
There and on equal footing. Yeah.
18:08
And so and so, so, yeah, it was very, it was interesting.
18:12
Now in the big city like Seattle, I used to love this
18:14
with Becky Brenner, who was our consultant.
18:17
They would have airplanes in the air.
18:19
They would have wrapped semi trucks.
18:21
Now the radio stations didn't pay for that.
18:24
It's all record Rep going, hey, man, if you don't do this, we're
18:29
going to pull the record. And so, and so that's basically
18:32
you're holding these people hostage.
18:34
And so I, I, I said, I used to tell Becky, I said, man, so cool
18:38
seeing a, you know, a rap semi. And she goes and she goes, well,
18:41
the radio, she goes, I used to work for CBS and I, yeah, it was
18:44
so awesome. She goes can't buy shit.
18:48
CBS can't buy shit. So that, you know, they force
18:52
the record Rep. Yeah, they force the record Rep
18:54
or the management into just absurd.
18:56
I need an airplane in the air with a banner that says, you
18:59
know, KMPS welcomes Garth Brooks.
19:04
Gosh I know it feels so bad asking for just tickets and
19:06
backstage passes because that all comes out of their own
19:09
budget. The.
19:10
Record does. It's not just like free tickets
19:13
magically out of the air for anyone and.
19:15
Everybody. And So what happened in Seattle
19:17
was OK, so KMPS has KMPS has an airplane.
19:20
Well, suddenly the Wolf has an airplane because it was tit for
19:23
tat. Yes, yes.
19:25
You know, so, yeah, anyway, a bunch of horror stories there.
19:29
So you learn something new. Well, so, so.
19:33
Yeah. So nowadays, yeah.
19:34
You, you it's not one of those things that you have to like,
19:37
you're like, everybody's technically welcome.
19:39
And again, no one's got. And then now you can't because
19:43
what would happen is at the end, let's say we're doing, let's say
19:46
you're doing the ferret Yakima or even tri-cities is the radio
19:49
station would leave their banner, the roller banner
19:51
everywhere, and it would get trashed.
19:54
So it looked, it looked shitty and it looked dumpy.
19:58
And so, so the venue people are like, hey man, no, no more.
20:02
So now with what? The nice thing about the
20:04
electronic screens is they just put your logo up.
20:06
Right. And and The funny thing at our
20:09
fair, it just rotates with everybody else.
20:12
So even if it's. Turn I do most places that I've
20:15
seen them besides the fares. Yeah, so the good news is here
20:19
in in Tri-cities, at least for the fair, they still do welcomes
20:23
they still you. Know I mean.
20:24
I mean, they still do presents. Yeah.
20:26
And you're rotating, and you're rotating on this big sign.
20:29
The hilarity is again, you're 20 minutes before the ACT ever
20:33
comes on stage and no one's in. There aren't in their states,
20:35
Yeah, no. So you learn something, you
20:37
learn something new today. There you go.
20:39
Yep. Yep.
20:40
All right. Well, I want to talk about this
20:41
hunting story that I teased the end of last podcast or during
20:45
last podcast, I don't remember. Why you don't?
20:48
Hunt right? So I think I was probably like 6
20:52
because my brother was an infant and my mom told me that I needed
20:57
to stay in the house. I couldn't go outside to play.
21:00
I had this brand new swing set. So of course me, a little 6 year
21:03
old me, wants to go outside and always be on the swing set,
21:06
swinging, going down the slide. And my mom is adamant that I
21:10
cannot go outside even though I know that my dad is outside.
21:16
So I know that it would be all right for me to be outside
21:18
because my dad is outside. So while my mom is changing my
21:23
brother's a diaper in the other room, little 6 year old me slips
21:27
out the back door and I go tearing around the side of the
21:31
house. And as I come to see my swing
21:34
set, hanging from my swing set by its legs is this deer.
21:42
It has its entire like stomach cut open.
21:45
His little head is like hanging there with those little brown
21:48
eyes staring right at me. me and I like dead stop and turn right
21:55
around and go yelling back into the house.
21:59
Dad killed Bambi, Dad killed Bambi because at this time Bambi
22:04
had also came out. And I am like bawling like I am
22:08
crying. I am inconsolable.
22:10
And of course my mom is like, I told you not to go outside.
22:13
She has no sympathy for me whatsoever.
22:16
I mean, you did what? You were supposed to be.
22:19
Doing right, right but I mean, my dad tried to tell me it's not
22:21
Bambi, he tried to calm me down. It's not Bambi, it's OK and so
22:27
from. Bambi's mom.
22:28
Because that. Yeah, it's Mom.
22:30
Yes, but. That's a Disney.
22:31
Little 6 year old me just thought it was Bambi yeah yeah
22:34
yeah that yeah that movie. I also cried watching that movie
22:38
when I. Was like 6.
22:39
Everybody does, but yeah. Dumbo.
22:41
Famous Dumbo. Yeah, oh God, yes.
22:43
And so from that point on, anytime we had any type of meat,
22:47
I would I would ask, yes, I would ask like, what is this?
22:52
Where did it come from? Like every single time.
22:56
And I know they probably lied to me at I mean, because I just
22:59
kept asking and I wouldn't eat if I thought it was like deer or
23:02
elk. I mean, my dad has killed a
23:04
black bear, mountain goat, but he eats all the meat.
23:09
So it's not like it goes to waste or anything.
23:11
But yeah, that is my hunting story.
23:14
And I just never, to me getting up super early in the freezing
23:18
cold and sitting there for hours, you know, you have to be
23:22
still and quiet for hours. And there's no way it does.
23:28
Which, you know, my hat's off to all the hunters that have that
23:31
kind of patience. And I know a lot of them use the
23:33
meat and, and I think it's great for them, but not for me, not my
23:39
gym so. Yeah, I know that Kyron.
23:41
Kyron. So if you didn't know this, I
23:43
don't know if we talked about this, but Megan's family has a
23:45
giant farm out in Condon, Oregon, and it's 8000 acres.
23:50
And so the family goes out hunting every single year.
23:53
And so Kyron this year got his very first buck.
23:56
And but he had his, he had his tags and he applied for it and
24:00
he did it. He did it legally.
24:02
And I think the head is now buried out in the chicken coop
24:04
or whatever, or whatever, but the meat's all cut up.
24:07
It went and got taken care of. And, and even though I'm not,
24:11
even though I'm not a hunter, I definitely grew up around it on
24:15
the Grand Ronde River and very familiar with it.
24:17
And, and I've been on multiple hunting just never was my thing.
24:20
But but I was, I was proud of him.
24:22
He got it. And again, I, you know me, I'm
24:25
in the camp if it's legal. Yeah.
24:27
You know, I'm, I'm good with that.
24:29
Now what I think, what I think of hunting when being a a coward
24:33
is Ted Nugent, who he's a bow, bow copter.
24:38
Well, he's a bow and arrow hunter.
24:40
And so he dropped a pig into his compound, dropped a pig into a
24:43
wild pig into his compound. I'm like, the pig has nowhere to
24:47
run. Like it's not a fighting chance.
24:50
Great. So I.
24:51
Thought you were going to say he was like flying in a helicopter.
24:54
You know those people that like fly in the helicopter and shoot
24:57
the animal as it's running. It's like, I'm sorry that.
25:00
I don't want to. I don't want to say.
25:01
I don't want to say the word, but I may just say it.
25:03
Pussies. I can't.
25:05
You know, it's OK. I always mark us as explicit,
25:09
so. Well, just in terms of that,
25:10
because I, I, I find that to be cowardly.
25:14
I find I mean again, I mean if you got your tags and your
25:16
legal, so be it Go go but. I think, you know, where we grew
25:20
up was you didn't hunt like that.
25:22
Like you went out there and trucked in the woods for miles
25:27
and miles and then sat there and wait.
25:29
You know, there were no helicopters.
25:31
Yeah, and there's or. People hunting like that where
25:33
we are. Yeah.
25:35
And even like ATVs, I mean, horseback, my dad would go
25:39
horseback. But this would be like way in
25:42
the, you know, the back country where they didn't have a choice.
25:45
They would have to ride their horses in and then set up camp.
25:48
And the horses stayed at camp. They didn't go, you know,
25:51
chasing after the elk, obviously, or deer or whatever
25:54
it was they were after. So.
25:55
Yeah. Oh, no.
25:56
I, I, my fresh parents were, they were big.
25:59
They were big, there are big gang people and big, big camping
26:03
and all that and going up And one of the pictures of my foster
26:06
dad, I don't have very many pictures of Joe, my dog, but one
26:09
of the pictures I do have is of my foster dad and he's on he's
26:13
on Chico and I think morning Glory, morning Glory's got the
26:16
dead deer on the back of morning Glory.
26:19
And then there's Joe, Joe and polar bear kind of circling
26:21
around the dead deer. So you know, that's my childhood
26:24
there on the grand run. So again, it's like, I mean, now
26:28
I now when you talk about not shooting, have you ever shot
26:32
like a gun like like. Yeah, I've shot like guns, but
26:36
not at a thing. Not at a living.
26:38
Thing not at a living thing I would I don't even want to like
26:43
no, I think I would have really have AI would I would have a
26:47
very difficult time like knowing that I took this life, even if
26:52
it is for food purposes I know you know like I'm going to feed
26:55
my family I just can't personally myself do that and I
27:00
know other people can and that's all fine I do like to fish I can
27:03
go fishing all day long so. Yeah, my, my, yeah, my, my, my
27:09
dad, my real dad, big fisherman. And my sister's a big fisherman.
27:13
She goes on massive fishing trips to Alaska.
27:15
She got that for my dad. We went fishing as kids.
27:18
I mean, I did all, I did all of those things as kids.
27:21
And now I just prefer to go to Safeway and get what I need.
27:24
And not not, I just don't, I don't take, I, I guess I don't
27:29
take enjoyment in taking a life, even if it is food.
27:33
I understand. I understand why we do it.
27:35
Circle of life. But all I'm going to say is when
27:38
aliens come and they're and they're popping off humans, I am
27:42
not going to feel sorry. And I'm going to give them a
27:44
list of humans they can go after first, right?
27:46
Ted Nugent's going to be at the top.
27:48
He'll be at the top. Yeah, I've got.
27:49
No, I've got no problem. If I, you know, I see some alien
27:51
gorging on Ted Nugent, I'll be like, yeah.
27:56
I'll be like, fuck yeah. Which when we watch The Walking
28:00
Dead, I'm always like, I don't, I will, I just want to die.
28:03
I don't want to live through this because I would not be able
28:06
to hunt for my own food. I, you know, there wouldn't be
28:09
coffee and hot water. I'm like, I don't, I don't want
28:12
to try and live through the zombie apocalypse.
28:14
I'm I'm fine with just going outgoing.
28:16
Outgoing out now see. To try to survive and don't.
28:21
Want out now? Megan hates when I mentioned
28:24
this, but I'm going to mention it.
28:25
It's like if there's a zombie apocalypse, guess who I want on
28:29
my team? I want Team Megan because she
28:31
is. She knows how to hunt and fish
28:33
and, well, she's. Resourceful.
28:35
Well, Megan is resourceful. I guess it's, you know, it's
28:37
like, it's like, yeah, you know, make Megan is resourceful.
28:41
And so I, that would be, it was funny.
28:44
She sent me a, she sent me a TikTok a couple days ago with
28:47
where the, where the wife is the, the Carpenter at the house.
28:51
And so, and so Home Depot's like, Oh yeah, can we talk to
28:54
the man of the house to get a water heater and, and she's out
28:57
there. Well, the wife's building shit
28:59
and all, you know, cabinets and all, you know, replacing the
29:02
siding on the House and all these different things.
29:04
And so, so I've always said if there was a zombie apocalypse, I
29:07
I would like to believe that one thing.
29:10
Megan will keep you alive. Well, yeah, well, Megan's got a
29:13
cool head. I mean, I think she's I think, I
29:15
mean, like you said, we'd be like, yeah, we like, yeah, we
29:20
probably back it out. But as they say, cooler heads.
29:24
So I think that she would have a better chance of surviving for
29:27
the for the resourcefulness. Now, again, I just understand
29:30
why we can't just outrun these damn zombies.
29:31
I mean, they're not going that fast.
29:33
I mean, I am a fast runner. Same with like The Last of Us.
29:36
Well, until like, they kind of. I don't know what the word is
29:42
for what I stopped watching. Oh well.
29:44
When they adapt. When they adapt.
29:46
Yes, when they adapt and yes and kind of almost when they I.
29:50
Don't know when they evolve. Yes.
29:51
Evolve. Sorry, I was like my brain is.
29:53
Blushing for a second. Yes, I know you were talking
29:56
earlier about who you would put. OK, so we said we said, let's
29:59
say Ted Nugent. You know, I I put Scott Baio on
30:03
the list. I'd put Kid Rock on the list.
30:07
I mean, Jon Voight, I mean, I shouldn't say these things, but
30:10
but God. So you know exactly where I'm
30:12
headed by just naming those people.
30:14
Yeah. They're the topic that I know
30:15
you want to talk about. And I'm going to give you, I'm
30:18
going to give you the floor right now for this.
30:20
Time. Well, I mean, we did mention
30:22
that we try not to, we talk about politics too much.
30:25
But since you just mentioned all those people, something that
30:28
happened this week that really it really like, I felt it like I
30:34
was that reporter. So it's when the president is on
30:39
Air Force One, he's taking questions from all these
30:41
reporters and one of the female reporters fires a question at
30:45
him. I think it was about Jeffrey
30:46
Epstein. I don't even remember the
30:48
question now, but he his response was quiet, quiet piggy.
30:54
And that when I saw that video again, like I was that reporter,
31:01
like I felt that with every fiber of my being because I have
31:06
been in that situation, whether it's with bosses or coworkers, I
31:11
have been the one being bullied and demeaned like that.
31:14
And so it really upset me. I mean, I know he says some
31:19
controversial things and everybody tries to give him a
31:22
pass that oh, you know, he just says those things.
31:24
He's different. But I don't I don't.
31:28
This just felt gross and icky and just a lot more horrible
31:34
than he normally is towards reporters, if that makes sense.
31:38
I don't know if you understand that because you're a man.
31:41
And so which I don't want to say that this doesn't happen to men.
31:45
You know I'm not saying that. No, no, no, we have, we've,
31:48
we've had this talk quite a bit. Number one, my foster mom would
31:53
have beaten the crap out of me. That would have been that would
31:58
I? So we, we can be, the crazy
32:00
thing is we can be a, you know, opposing viewpoints on anything,
32:03
politics, whatever religion, you name it, when it becomes
32:07
harassment, you know. Right or calling people names.
32:10
And I think the name too. I think the fact that it was
32:13
like Piggy because when you think of a pig, you think of as
32:17
an animal that is dirty and gross or were fat or, you know,
32:21
whatever it is. And so just that word itself
32:25
being, you know, woman being called that is.
32:28
And from the president and I guess, you know, to me, it's
32:31
like, I don't care if it was Bill Clinton.
32:32
I don't care if it's Obama. I don't care if it's Jimmy
32:34
Carter, Ronald Reagan, the Bushes.
32:37
I just think my biggest problem more than anything else, I don't
32:41
care. You know, it's like I want the
32:44
president to be presidential, yes, and so and so and that and,
32:48
and for me, that is the job. Whether I agree or disagree with
32:52
anybody who's on office, I expect them to take the High
32:55
Road. But you were never going to get
32:57
this from a guy who who went after Rosie O'Donnell, who
33:01
right, the list goes on and on. So the that's his.
33:04
MO, that's his MO, you know, is especially women.
33:08
It's more so women. I mean, I know he's done it to a
33:10
few men, yes. Yeah, and and, but, but they
33:14
defended there was the more sad situation.
33:16
Michelle is not one man. Right defended her or stood up
33:21
for. Her.
33:21
You know which. I think they're afraid, they're
33:25
all afraid they're going to lose their access, their press
33:28
passes, but still it's like your integrity or I mean, I, I don't
33:34
know, or I mean, I guess it would be their job.
33:36
So maybe, maybe they have to. I've had their job over
33:41
integrity. I don't know.
33:42
I've had several moments in my life where I've, I've stood up
33:49
for people in, in situations because it, I, I feel like it's
33:54
an injustice and I'm not going to, I won't let it happen.
33:57
So many years ago when I was working at the skating rink,
34:00
This is back when I was like 1819 years old and there was
34:04
some, there was some teenagers. There were girl, they were girls
34:06
or teenagers, right? Well, a couple of them didn't
34:10
smell so good. And so it was funny that
34:14
somebody skated up next to. So they were so they're on the
34:16
backside of the DJ booth. They were making a request.
34:19
I'm polite. I don't say anything.
34:21
Well, some, some teenager skates right up next to them and goes,
34:25
you know, Pew. Oh, you.
34:27
Yeah. And so I benched the guy.
34:30
I benched him. I benched him like you're
34:32
getting benched. And I went and I explained to
34:34
him, OK, number one, they were complete strangers, but it's
34:38
just, you don't treat people that way.
34:41
And so and so, and I've seen this a lot and it's like, I, I
34:47
can't be a part. I, I can't support people.
34:51
Like I don't care. I don't care if they gave, I've
34:53
talked about this. I don't care if they gave me
34:55
$1,000,000. Right.
34:57
I can't how you treat people as my number one, my number one and
35:03
we can disagree about. Anything that's also an
35:06
indicator of who you are as a person, like how you would treat
35:10
the wait staff or any of. That's my #1.
35:13
It shows who you truly are as a person.
35:17
But there's no but again, there's no fallout.
35:19
There's no retribution. There's no no it's allowed.
35:23
Yeah, and and I would not want my daughter.
35:25
And you got a portion, yeah, but you got a portion of the country
35:28
who just cheers, cheers it on. I mean, they like that.
35:34
That means that he's a strong guy.
35:36
It's like you're, again, you're picking on women.
35:38
It's mainly women. Yeah, but.
35:41
He is doing this too. But it's but it's interesting
35:45
who they've decided to be their their macho male role model.
35:50
I agree. I don't, I don't understand.
35:53
So when we're when we're talking about cults, I'm very
35:56
fascinated. Allison Mack, who recently got
35:58
out of prison. She's part of the Smallville
36:00
thing. And she's part of the next
36:02
whatever. Next some she's part of next
36:05
some she just did a podcast with one of the guys from Smallville
36:09
and I have I watched it because she was she was trafficking, she
36:12
was trafficking young girls that they were branded.
36:15
I mean the list goes on and on. And I thought it was interesting
36:18
and we can do this on a different podcast, but she
36:21
talked about that. She says that good people can do
36:26
bad things, but it doesn't make them bad people.
36:30
Now, some people are just born evil or just bad.
36:34
That is true. I do believe that.
36:36
So but I but for me, I OK, I do believe that yeah, good people
36:40
can do bad things, but you rectify it.
36:44
You learn, right? Once you recognize, oh, you
36:48
know, because I look back, Patty and I talk about this on the air
36:50
lot or off the air lot is remember when we were kids and
36:54
we used to, I used to say a lot of well, number one, I, I mean,
36:57
I've, I've been very honest about it.
37:00
Like I was probably, I was probably homophobic in my youth,
37:04
you know, to some extent or, or you would you?
37:06
I wouldn't say homophobic, but I'd go, Oh, that's gay.
37:09
Right. But right you're, but you're 12
37:11
years old, you're 13, right? You know, remember when we used
37:14
to make the slanted eyes? Yes.
37:17
When you were a kid, yes I mean I I've done all those horrific
37:21
things no and and Megan even taught me when I first met Megan
37:24
one time I said Oh well that's retarded and she don't say that
37:28
no right now or. That's my grandma used to say
37:33
I'm going to Jew her down. It's like, well, you don't say
37:35
that either. Like that's horrible.
37:37
But but being a good person means I recognize the behavior
37:42
and I will never do it again. You don't say so going back to
37:44
Piggy, when you continually do that, think about how we I mean,
37:48
what would you would you want to work for this guy?
37:50
I wouldn't want to. I don't care.
37:52
I would not want to work. I would never work.
37:53
Well, I just wouldn't. No, and I would not want my
37:56
daughter talked to by some man at her job like that or anyone,
38:01
anyone that I know I would not want them to talk to like that.
38:04
It's just it's not called for. I mean, there isn't.
38:07
And I get that. Like maybe he didn't like the
38:09
question, but then don't don't respond with that like an insult
38:15
just because. Next question please take.
38:18
The question. Yeah.
38:21
But I think one of the I think one of the my biggest struggle
38:23
with more than anything else is it's one OK, So like, well, he
38:27
but he loves beautiful women. OK, I like beautiful women.
38:30
I, I could, I admire beautiful women from afar.
38:32
I know when I see an attractive woman, I know she's attractive.
38:36
Guess what? I don't drag my knuckles like a
38:39
Neanderthal and and and and try to alpha male her out and
38:43
you're. Not like Cat calling her.
38:45
You've got a great blank or you got a great duh, duh, duh.
38:50
You know, Now I may think that in my head, but being a grown
38:52
up, you don't say those things. And so and so I do I, I expect
38:58
from my president, I expect, I don't care if they're Republican
39:02
or Democrat. I don't care if they're
39:03
independent. I don't care if they're Green
39:04
Party. I expect them to be
39:07
presidential. And when you take that office,
39:09
you are supposed to be. This is why I already have a
39:12
problem is you're supposed to be the president for everybody.
39:15
Yes. And you're supposed to hear what
39:17
everybody has to say and. Which I think is right, which I
39:23
think that is a huge problem in politics is the, the Republicans
39:28
or the Democrats. It's I'm only for my base or, or
39:32
I'm only going to do this for my base or my people or whatever.
39:35
And I somebody said this, it's been a couple weeks that if
39:39
you're a politician, you need to think of all your constituents
39:43
as your family. Like they are all your family
39:46
members regardless of Democrat, Republican, they are all in your
39:50
family and you need to take care of them equally.
39:55
I think it's gotten I was thinking about a couple days
39:57
ago. I think it's creepy that so I so
40:00
I've unfollowed. I'm still friends with a lot of
40:02
people. I don't I don't unfriend
40:03
somebody. I don't unfriend somebody on
40:05
Facebook because they don't believe politically like I do.
40:07
I just don't believe. I think that's childish, right?
40:09
But. I think it's creepy, creepily
40:12
weird that their entire makeup is their political party.
40:16
Does that make sense? Like, we were talking, we were
40:18
talking about earlier, like, yeah, I love comic books, right?
40:21
But but I like a lot of other things.
40:23
I like football. I like Ford Mustangs.
40:26
I mean the I mean, there's tons of things I like besides comic
40:29
books. Your complete identity isn't.
40:32
So my whole identity isn't based on the only thing he likes is is
40:35
comic books or the only thing he likes is Mr. Mr. Which, thank
40:40
you. But you know we.
40:41
Haven't talked very much about that yet, so we haven't.
40:44
Talked about Mr. Mr. yeah, get Richard Page, get Richard Page
40:46
on the show. So so I think it's sad to see
40:50
somebody's whole and we have former Co workers which I had to
40:53
unfollow because their whole identity is the party they
40:59
belong to and it's OK. I mean I get it.
41:02
It's I get it. But it's like, yeah, but but if
41:06
but if somebody in your party, like I said, if, if, if somebody
41:09
in in, in the and I'm not, you know, you know, if I like you
41:13
said if that was Bill Clinton, if that was Obama, you.
41:16
Know they would have lost their everybody.
41:17
Like held their. Minds.
41:20
I would not support him. I wouldn't vote for.
41:22
Him. No, I would be, I would be, I
41:24
would equally be. I would equally have felt that
41:26
because again, I have been that woman, you know, in that
41:31
situation. And it even goes back to the
41:33
Epstein files. I don't care who's on the list.
41:36
They all go to jail like I don't care I.
41:40
Mean I don't deserve to go to jail.
41:41
Yeah, yeah. Well, and and that goes back to
41:43
that Nexium, the Allison Mack podcast, which you should go
41:48
listen to was very fascinating. Oh yeah, well, she's, I watched
41:51
the documentary about it. It's been.
41:52
A Yeah. So so she said over 12 years.
41:55
She was in Nexium for 12 years. It wasn't until the 8th or 9th
41:59
year that they really started doing bad things.
42:02
Oh, but by that time, she said, you're in the cult.
42:05
You're brainwashed. You're brainwashed.
42:07
And so your only job is to exemplify what everybody else is
42:13
speaking and doing. And yeah, so and so right now I
42:19
do, I do believe that we've got, we've got a political cult that
42:23
you're, there's nothing you're going to say that's good.
42:26
You know, there are men. It's disgusting.
42:28
There are men rooting on comments like Quiet Piggy and
42:32
that's that's horrific. Yeah.
42:34
And again, men, if that was your daughter or wife, would you want
42:37
her to talk to like that? No.
42:40
Or maybe. Or maybe that's how they talk to
42:42
their modern daughter and wives. I don't know.
42:44
But it really isn't right. Well, I, I don't like when
42:49
someone says, oh, they're just, they were just joking.
42:52
Like what? Words hurt.
42:54
I don't, you know, I don't care what they say.
42:55
Words hurt. And it's like, and I expect so
42:58
it's the same thing as my minister at church.
43:00
I expect better. And he was meant.
43:03
It was meant to be demeaning. Of course it was in her place.
43:07
It wasn't a joke. It wasn't.
43:10
A joke, yeah. But they all say, oh, he
43:12
doesn't, you know, he's just joking.
43:13
Like, no, you don't joke about crap like that.
43:15
No. Yeah, I mean, and we've all
43:18
yeah. And and again, it plays to their
43:22
base. They love it.
43:23
And but a brand new poll even from Fox News has him down to
43:27
32% so. That's surprising.
43:32
He's he's at his lowest ratings ever.
43:35
Well, that could be because Thanksgiving is coming up and
43:39
the price of turkeys is 40% higher.
43:42
I mean, everything is higher. I I think we talked about my
43:44
coffee so. Yeah, I think, I think it's
43:46
interesting, James Carville once said.
43:48
It's the economy, dummy. Stupid.
43:50
Yeah, so so when people feel like the economy is good, it
43:53
doesn't matter what party you're in.
43:55
No. You're going to be voted in so.
43:58
But I do want to talk about turkeys since we did mention
44:00
them and Thanksgiving is coming up, which we will be off next
44:03
week so that we can spend Thanksgiving our families.
44:06
Yes, we are. I'm.
44:07
Not just taking over the podcast and spend a whole hour of
44:11
ranting. No.
44:13
I mean that's what you do normally.
44:14
What are you talking about? Well, next week while while
44:19
Michelle, while Michelle is off next week, we'll have an entire
44:21
hour devoted to Mr. Mr. Yeah, that's true.
44:25
We haven't talked about them yet.
44:27
Yeah. We'll talk about the greatest
44:28
band that it that never was. And why am I?
44:32
You know my my boys. My boys, man, my boys are the
44:35
best. Right.
44:36
OK. Well, I want to talk about
44:37
turkeys, OK, because I have a story.
44:41
So when my grandma passed away she would always get her ham and
44:45
turkeys from the local Birch butcher here in town, raise
44:49
retail meats. Shout out to them they are the
44:50
best. And so when she passed away, so
44:52
we would always go to her house for Thanksgiving dinner.
44:55
When she passed away I took on that responsibility of cooking
44:59
dinner at our house. First couple years, great
45:02
learning experience and I'm not a great cook, but I did, I did
45:06
OK. And so I made sure that I got my
45:10
Turkey and ham from the same place as my grandma.
45:13
So my husband went with me one time to pick them up and he did
45:18
not like the price of them. Well, it's more expensive than
45:21
getting your Turkey and your ham.
45:23
Yes, from the grocery store. And I told him, I said, well,
45:27
there is, there is a difference, the taste difference is there.
45:31
And he tried to tell me there wasn't.
45:33
And so Thanksgiving we got them from Ray's Retail Meats.
45:38
And then at Christmas time I got the Turkey and the ham from the
45:41
grocery store and cooked it and then asked him which I, no, I
45:47
don't think I asked him. I think he made the comment that
45:51
something happened to the Turkey and the ham because it wasn't as
45:53
good as it usually is. Right, Right.
45:56
And I said, well, that's because this Turkey and ham is from the
46:00
grocery store, not the butcher. So what do you think?
46:04
What? What do you what do you think?
46:05
And he's like, yeah, you were right.
46:08
There is a taste difference. The ones from the butcher do
46:12
taste better. So now when we go pick up our
46:15
Turkey and ham, he says nothing about the price.
46:19
And even though it's going to be a little bit more expensive this
46:21
year, I'm sure he'll say nothing.
46:22
So yeah. Well, but.
46:24
That's the learning lesson my husband learned.
46:26
Well, fresh is better. I mean that that's, yeah.
46:29
I mean, there's just no doubt, no doubt about that.
46:31
But I mean, some people just think that isn't true or it's
46:35
not going to be the case. And it is definitely the case.
46:38
So yeah. Yeah, I remember my one of my
46:42
Turkey stories was Cephas's dad. Micah's dad raised turkeys one
46:47
year. Or raised turkeys.
46:49
And so I had to do something for the radio station.
46:50
So I went and saw the turkeys and then and then his dad.
46:54
Do you want to hang around and watch me kill him?
46:56
I'm like. No.
46:57
Right. I'm like, no, I'm sorry.
47:00
I'd be, I'd be the president and be pardoning the turkeys.
47:02
That's that would be that would be the Rick Michaels thing to do
47:06
so. Right.
47:07
Right, Yeah, I mean, again, I'm a carnivore.
47:10
I I eat meat, I eat fish, I eat chicken, you know, but I've but
47:13
I've always said, and Megan and I've joked about this too, when
47:16
we had our little ranch down there and Prosser our little
47:18
farm, it's like she kept saying, oh, let's get a cow.
47:21
And I'm like, well, I'm not going to eat Betsy if Betsy's
47:23
out in the and then Megan, Megan's joke is always that
47:26
steak. And I'm like, no, if Betsy out
47:30
in the if Betsy out in the field, I am not eating Betsy
47:33
now. I'll eat everybody elses, Betsy.
47:35
Oh yeah, because you're not attached to their Betsy.
47:38
I'm not attached to Betsy. I'm not attached to their Betsy.
47:40
So chop that, chop it up. Now.
47:42
I'm not coming over to chop up Betsy with you though, but.
47:45
No. But I I understand that, Yeah.
47:48
So, yeah. So are you, are you having, are
47:50
you doing cooking this year? You have the big family coming.
47:52
What's? That yes, so my daughter in
47:54
law's family usually comes over. Our oldest son is coming home.
47:58
He was on defense because of the government shut shutdown because
48:01
he has to fly home from San Francisco.
48:03
And so it was well, I don't know if I'm coming home and then now
48:07
he's coming home. So yay.
48:09
So yeah, all the kids will be home and he'll get to meet his
48:12
niece for the first time. So yeah, isn't.
48:14
That the best. So yeah, it'll be great.
48:16
I'm super excited. It, it is a lot of work, but
48:19
it's it's worth it, so. Well, you got to well, you have
48:22
a great little family and it's the, it's the time of year, I
48:25
think. We're going to work.
48:27
Does Megan cook? Oh, it's been years.
48:32
So her mom called. Her.
48:34
She heard me. Oh, Oh no.
48:37
I know. Yeah, it's been a few years.
48:41
She's going to kick your ass. I know she is going to kick my
48:44
ass. So we're going to go to Oregon,
48:46
which is great actually. Actually, I want to say she
48:48
cooks it with her mother. So they they do a great job.
48:51
They tag team. That's nice.
48:53
Yeah, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
48:55
Yeah. That helps when you have like
48:57
multiple people. Yeah, her mom, they do.
49:00
They do a great job. They tag teammate but but in
49:03
years past we've gone to Cousins restaurant in the dowels and
49:06
just met there. And had dinner Cousins.
49:07
Yeah, and done it, done those kind of things.
49:10
And so, yeah, I mean, it's really varied through the years.
49:12
Like one year we went to Baker City and had it with my foster
49:15
sister, which was an amazing, you know, amazing experience.
49:19
I like, you know, you know, you know, my foster family, they're
49:22
like even Logan, No, Logan, as cynical as he is, and he is
49:27
cynical as they come. He and the Foster.
49:29
Family many years ago, years ago and he goes, no, they are not
49:33
real people. I'm like they are real people.
49:35
And he goes no, they're that's Mayberry.
49:38
And I said I know. Look what you know again.
49:40
That's where I grew up. Look what the look what the
49:42
government did to me. I had, I had Mayberry.
49:45
I had Mayberry. And they just Nope, Nope.
49:49
You don't get Mayberry, You get, you get Amityville Horror.
49:52
Yeah. So just think how different I
49:56
would have been if I would have had Mayberry all the way
49:58
through. I mean, you wouldn't have had
50:00
all these traumatizing issues. Would not have.
50:03
Wouldn't have a podcast, probably wouldn't be on the
50:05
radio, who knows who. Wouldn't have all these funds
50:08
things I'd probably. Be some hedge fund manager and
50:10
rich and scrooged and going to jail for embezzlement or some
50:14
crazy thing because because I had to reject Mayberry or
50:17
something. Like that some Bernie Madoff
50:18
types pyramid team. Some crazy story like that.
50:23
But yeah, it's going to be a fun trip to Oregon.
50:24
I I'm going to try to go see Logan, maybe not this weekend,
50:28
but maybe next weekend and spend a little time with him.
50:31
He wants to it is kind of fun. I, I didn't realize this.
50:34
He wants. So he had me on Spotify make a
50:37
playlist of all my favorite songs.
50:39
So he wants to go through those songs.
50:41
So this is going to be. All your favorite songs?
50:45
Yeah, he wants to hear all yours.
50:47
Well, I already made it a long time ago and it's called the
50:50
Dad. It's called the Dad 100.
50:53
So so he wants to kind of go. He said, hey, he he was like, he
50:59
goes, yeah, this was his. Idea then yeah, what's his?
51:02
My kids said that to me. I'd be Oh yeah, we're doing
51:05
this. No, no and.
51:06
If it's their idea. I'm excited.
51:08
I'm excited because The funny thing is he goes dad, you know,
51:11
there's some bops on your your playlist that I didn't expect to
51:14
cause them bops. They're bops.
51:15
And and so one of the songs was Nelson After the Rain.
51:19
Oh yes. See, that's isn't that Fremo?
51:22
So it's funny is we we haven't talked a lot about our musical
51:26
taste, but it's hilarious with my musical taste.
51:29
As you know, there is definitely a theme and a sound.
51:33
Of what? Right.
51:34
So, so, yeah. So, so when you hear what we
51:38
call Rick Music, you, you know. That they're it's like yacht
51:42
rock. Well, yeah, I mean, that's
51:44
what's I guess that's one vein of it, right?
51:47
That's definitely, that's definitely one.
51:49
Vein, vein, yeah. Yeah, you know, so, yeah.
51:52
So I am definitely not not that I don't enjoy.
51:55
I'm definitely not a headbanger, That's obvious.
51:58
I'm not a so I. Mean, I love a good rock ballad
52:01
though because I'm a girl, so. Well, I'm pretty easy because
52:05
again, I grew up on Top 40. Yes, so.
52:08
So yeah, so, so right now, like Sabrina Carpenter's awesome.
52:12
I mean, Lola Young is awesome. I mean, there's a lot of great,
52:15
you know, Gaga, you name it, Alex, Alex Warren, Ordinary, a
52:18
lot of great pop right now. That's yeah.
52:21
So are the pop songs that I loved in the 80s.
52:23
Nine. I'm a pop guy.
52:24
So. Yeah.
52:25
But he was just funny goes oh, there's some there's some bops
52:27
on there, dad. So we're going to go through and
52:29
apparently go through and hear some of these songs, but they're
52:31
songs from like the, the late 70s.
52:35
I mean, you, you're the same as me.
52:36
There's, we've been influenced by so many songs that that it's
52:40
a, it's a fun playlist. So it always makes me feel happy
52:44
when he doesn't just make fun of.
52:46
Me right. I mean, he'll throw that in
52:48
there as you're listening to some of these songs, but.
52:50
Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure.
52:51
Well, he's like, yeah, he, he you know, but but you know,
52:54
there was what is what is on this playlist, Sheriff, when I'm
52:57
with you. Oh yeah, definitely.
53:00
Yeah. Rocks.
53:01
Total, Rick. Yeah, Rock.
53:03
But but Rick Music, you know what I'm saying?
53:04
It's. So yes.
53:05
It's so easy. It's like it's, you know,
53:08
there's night rain through when you close your eyes, you know,
53:11
Smoky Mountain rain, Ronnie Millsap.
53:12
I mean, right. That's that's where I that's
53:15
where I live. Mine's going to be like Vanilla
53:16
ice ice ice baby. You know so.
53:19
Before. We go before we go.
53:22
OK, number one, Vanilla Ice today got a shitty deal because
53:27
you got all these tick tokers mouthing stuff and make becoming
53:31
millionaires off TikTok for lip syncing.
53:33
Okay, so back in the day, so they were Millie Vanilli was the
53:37
biggest thing. You know Michelle was the
53:39
biggest thing on the planet for that brief time that year or
53:41
two, right? And they were on the record
53:44
label Arista Records. And I had bought my Millie
53:47
Vanilli album through Columbia House.
53:49
Or RCA or What was the Tank? The penny for like 10 CD.
53:54
So I got a card in the mail after that thing blew up from
53:58
Arista Records that said, hey, if you want to have a free album
54:02
on us because of the Milli Vanilli catastrophe.
54:06
Yeah. So they set a card in the mail
54:08
and you were able to order another, another album, A free
54:11
album from Columbia House or because of fraud?
54:14
Because Nelly frauded everybody. I'm like, holy shit, the whole
54:17
world's fraud right now. I.
54:18
Was gonna say everyone lip syncs especially nowadays like I mean
54:22
or auto tune. I mean back then we didn't have
54:24
auto tune at least not to the capacity it is now.
54:27
But but. But, and for me, it's like I I
54:30
still love that album to this day.
54:32
And to me, me too, I don't care. I don't care who sang the songs.
54:35
No, those are jams. Yeah.
54:37
Yeah, those are, those are jams, part of my childhood.
54:39
I don't care that they met, you know, And then like, and then
54:41
again, like you see the day where everybody's famous for
54:44
being on YouTube. Or I mean, I mean, they're doing
54:47
people are doing reviews of people's reviews.
54:51
That is the most bizarre thing. It's almost like, it's almost
54:53
like us taking our podcast next week and getting on YouTube and
54:56
critiquing like, OK, So what are they going on?
54:58
OK, let's stop it here. They're going to say this.
55:00
Oh God, I don't want to do that. It paints me just to listen back
55:04
to our podcast when I have to edit it and put in the chapter
55:07
tile. Yeah.
55:09
So to me, it's like Milli Vanilli got screwed.
55:12
It's wrong. They deserve their place in
55:15
musical history. They earned it.
55:18
I think that does it for our time.
55:20
We're coming up on like an hour. So happy.
55:24
Thanksgiving, we're going to go put on the mill.
55:26
Vanilli girls know it's. True for the for our road trip
55:30
driving, anybody who needs to travel, you can listen to Milli
55:33
Vanilli. Can you before you go?
55:35
So girl, you know it's true. Blame it on the rain.
55:37
Yes. I'm going to miss you, girl.
55:41
Oh yes, I forget about that one. Yeah, I only remember like the.
55:45
You know my. #2. Maybe, yes, my number, look at
55:48
you, there was like 5 or 6, you know, all or nothing.
55:52
I got the wallop. You can, you can.
55:55
You'll have to add it to like your top 100.
55:58
You know what I think blame it on the rain is actually in the
56:01
Dad 100. Yeah, it would be on mine too.
56:04
So yeah, I got it. Yeah.
