  Speaker 1: but I still listen every day. Thanks for all you do.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I've been a little surprised at how many of my
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: friends and family in Utah have no idea that Salt
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Lake has a professional softball team, the Utah Talons, to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: say nothing of the fact that they're leading their league.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: They are really good.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It would be a great honor to hear more from
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the players, and I guess I was hoping that you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: all might be an avenue for that. Thanks for letting
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: me listen, Mike, and then he sent a link to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the Talons schedule and the sports desk. I will and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: then then there is this one. So I said that
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I needed verification of turkeys in rose Park wild there
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: are wild turkeys.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: In the photographic evidence if.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: The pictures are isn't real. And we got a picture
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: yesterday and it was from somebody who took the picture
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: from the window of their car and it was raining,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: but you could you could sell it with there probably
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: wild turkey as well. I've got another one. I heard
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you needed proof of the rose Park turkeys. So here
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: they are.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: My first encounter with a turkey in this neighborhood was
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty. During this account encounter there was
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: only one. Turns out, there were probably several turkeys, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as the years go by, their numbers increase.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I enjoy them greatly.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: They're huge.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: The worst thing they do is stop traffic for a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes when they're crossing the street. But that's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: okay by me. Oh, there's even there's an even better picture, Dawson.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that that one you put up.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: There's two?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Did he put up the other way?
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I see Okay, yeah, great, that.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: One very enormous man.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And they're mean, yeah, they oh, they'll chase you. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I my one encounter with a turkey. He was very friendly,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a very pleasant friendly turkey. But I don't know, maybe
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they're I would.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Suggest not getting close to the turkeys.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And then finally this, it's a picture of carry and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I carry and me, I should say, to be grammatically correct,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: an old picture.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: That's very old.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Somebody sent that and said, hey, whatever happened to Kaboom Days.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: They don't do it anymore.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: No, not.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we put the end. We
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: made the end of Kaboom Days. What it was, it
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: was in Elsinore, Utah. Elsin Or, Utah, which is out
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: there by Richfield and it's sort of nowhere, yeah kind
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of maybe it's near the town of Monroe. And what
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it was is the Volunteer Fire Department. I guess they
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: would do this as a fundraiser. Every year they would
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: do this thing called Kaboom Days where they would set
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: up some targets on the side of a mountain, you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and they they put little explosive charges behind the targets
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: so you could go up and shoot at the targets
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and if you hit the target just right there would
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: be a small explosion. Yeah, kaboom kaboom days. And as
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I recall, they had it, they tied it to some
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Danish ancestry tradition or something, which was probably all bs.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And so we thought that was interesting, and we got
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in contact with the Volunteer Fire Department and they said, well,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: come on out, you can come on out and shoot
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: some guns. So it was a road pri We stayed
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: overnight two nights some I think in that area, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: we went to Kaboom Days and the Volunteer Fire department
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: guys that were really nice, and there was a nice
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: chief fire department chief, and we had we got rifles
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and they let us shoot at these targets.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: And did you blow stuff up?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah a little bit. And I believe how long ago
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: this was.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I was having one of my children and that's why
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I didn't go. So this has been at least nineteen
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: years since you did that. Maybe longer because if I
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: was pregnant with Jonesy, that would have been like twenty
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: one years.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So anyway, we did had a good time. We went
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to some cafe somewhere, you know, a little town where
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a guy came in who invented the frisbee. Oh yes,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: remember that. And it was cafe owned by a rodeo
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: star's parents. Remember that. I can't remember the name of it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Somebody will remember better than I am.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I said, this was like twenty years ago.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And but this guy came in, he and he's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and he was the guy who invented the frisbee. And
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it was I mean, really it really was.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: The guy who names Walter Morrison Morrison.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: That's the way they named the disc golf course that
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I play after him.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And I believe he's a relative or direct descendant of
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: John Waynes because John was in John Wayne's real name
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Marion Morrison. And I think he's a relative of John Wayne's.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And he invented the frisbee for the for the Whamo Corporation. Uh.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And he he died in twenty ten.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And what he lived in that little town I think
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in Monroe, Monroe, Yeah, the little town of Monroe. And
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: so anyway, kaboom days. We we actually didn't put an
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: end to it. It was like a two or three
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: day event. Yeah, and I think it was the next day,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it was after we left. Yeah, it was that because
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: we didn't see this happen. They were shooting the targets
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and they started a fire on the mountain and it
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: got kind of out of hand, and fortunately the volunteer
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: fire department was the one who was doing it, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it was kind of embarrassing that the volunteer fire department
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: had started a fire on the mountain. And so that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: was it was the end of That was the end
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of Kaboom Days. So there is that story.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I was looking up the restaurants in Monroe.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think it was in the restaurant was in moment.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: That's where he was from. There's Bullies Drive.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: In Marianna's Country Cafe might be it Ace's Place.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Restaurant Marianna And it might have changed names by this
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: time because it was it was somehow associated with a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: famous rodeo cowboy from that area who I think he
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: was from Monroe. And he's probably still around and there
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: are people who will now let us know what we
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: have forgotten. But that yeah, so there it is. That's memory,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that's Kaboom Days. Richard Davidson said that where So I
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: wonder where Richard Davison got this picture. Maybe maybe it
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was something weird posted well, it looked like a still
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: from a news report, because there's a news Oh yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I think you're right.
• 7:26
