• 5:23
  Speaker 5: be it's gonna be a very wet day.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I think I might have done something that will
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: prevent us from getting too much rain. What would this be?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I brought my rain jacket in this morning?
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: You brought you have a rain jacket, rain jacket?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You walk?
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: You walk like ten steps to your truck. What do
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: you need a rain jacket for?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Because I don't like having wetness.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: See, that's the things like I've never I don't think.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: I think the reason I don't have a rain jacket
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: is I have never had enough opportunity to be outdoors
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: long enough I thought I needed. It's like, okay, well,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: all I need to do is make it from point
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: A to point B. I'll just run. Yeah, point A
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: being my house, to the driveway. I'll just run. Point
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: A being the back door of the radio station, to
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: my car. I'll just run. I've never ever thought about
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: selling just put on a coat for these rain geary.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not a rain I'm not an umbrella guy by
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: any stretch that good rain gear is especially I mean,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you're saying, you know, I just run from here to there,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just from the driveway to the house. Whatever. However, what
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: what would happen, Tucker if for some reason your vehicle
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: broke down on the way home. Oh yeah, you had
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to get out and walk.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: It, or or I had to get out and change tires.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and change a tire, yeah, and then you would
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: be miserable and wet.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: The way I've thought about it is that if you
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: just get like, let's say here in the middle of
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: a thunderstorm, right and like today, and I get stuck outside,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: just commit to it just as soon as you as
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: soon as you get soaked through, like all the way through.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: It's fine.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Depends on the time of year.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm talking to July July year on if it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: in January. Got a little bit of a different conversation.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: I will say this, though, I had a I came
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: home from Corpus yesterday and yesterday when I was driving,
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: it rained on me probably eighty percent of the time.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: And I'm not talking the cute little light rain. I'm
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: talking to kind where you're supposed to go seventy five
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: and you're driving like fifty because everyone else there.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Were big drops coming down yesterday, for sure, and it
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: looks like I mean back towards your back home there, Riley,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: is where the chances of up like two feet of rain.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: That's the gnarliest part is Yeah, if you're in South
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Texas or west of San Antonio, including San Antonio, which
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: is I mean, honestly, if you had to have the
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: place in Texas, you really don't want that much rain
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: kind of Ever, it's that part of the state.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Although they don't get much, it's going to recharge a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: lot of aqua first down there, look better.

  Speaker 6: dad and then all the farmers can't cut any grain
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: or start on defoliating cotton because of the rain at all.

• 27:38
  Speaker 1: coming off of their peak and they're fantastic.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: So you were you you were in you were in heaven.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I was in heaven. I had perhaps the best blueberry
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: pie I've ever had. It was a blueberry lavender pie.

  Speaker 1: my cousins uh and and their kids. Then we drove
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: to Bend and you drive through this. There's the mountain
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: pass up there. It's the Mackenzie Scenic Byway right, and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: it is like the old school way that you could
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: get from Eugene to Bend. It is a it's a
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: two lane small road and it is currently opened generally
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: three to four months a year.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's one of those.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: It's one of those that they have to put the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: gates up and so forth, and it is it is
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: currently open. Uh. And so we went and it was
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: just a stunning drive, Tucker. It takes you right over
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: the pass, over the sisters, it over, you know, round.
• 28:45

  Speaker 9: Sure?
• 29:19

• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Son of a guy.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because we're taking them out. And my question was this,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: why couldn't it be moths, because nobody cares about moths.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: You just drove, you drove straight through.
• 29:34
