• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We have in the studio with us Brian Nicholson. Brian,
• 0:04
  good morning, How are.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: You hi, guys? How are you happy to be here?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Brian is here to talk about we'd mentioned yesterday or
• 0:10
  the day before, the time capsule that they're putting together
• 0:15
  up in Ogden at the Union Station, So just start there.
• 0:20
  Where did that all start out? Well?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I was approached about I don't know two or three
• 0:24
  weeks ago by the Hope Egga who's in the museum administration,
• 0:30
  and she mentioned that she would like me to provide
• 0:33
  some kind of a memento from the I Am Ogden book,
• 0:37
  and that the book would be too big because it's
• 0:40
  I think the box they're using for the capsules only
• 0:42
  like eight and a half inches by twelve inches or
• 0:45
  something like that, so the book wouldn't fit. So I
• 0:48
  tried to come up with an idea. I printed up
• 0:51
  this small eight inch by eight inch version of it
• 0:55
  so that they can include it in the time capsule.
• 0:57
  I guess what had happened back in May They dug
• 1:01
  up a time capsule from.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Nineteen twenty five hundred years ago.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one hundred years.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: They're celebrating the entire year it's like a cornerstone at
• 1:10
  the Ogden Union.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that. And they dug up a box
• 1:15
  and there was a bunch of business documents and other stuff.
• 1:18
  I guess what was important to them at the time.
• 1:21
  And so Hope, who's the administrator of the station, she
• 1:26
  wants to put in stuff now that are more representative
• 1:30
  of Ogden, like try and grab artists stuff, things that
• 1:36
  are more important to people now and more representative of
• 1:38
  the broader community.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, some years ago you put together this book
• 1:42
  called I Am Ogden, and it's just it's a large
• 1:46
  coffee table sized book of really nice black and white
• 1:50
  portraits of people from Ogden. Yeah, that's right, people that
• 1:54
  represent Ogden.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I'm showing the picture of Bill that is in He's
• 1:59
  the very first featured picture.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: It's the angry picture. It's me looking angry. There's another
• 2:07
  one where I'm looking cheery and I am holding you.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We're holding up a radio. Well, if you want to
• 2:12
  flip to the cover, you can look at the right
• 2:15
  at the below the Ogden, the og Maybe that's actually significant,
• 2:20
  the original gangster right below that is Bill already.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so so I'm featured prominently in the book.
• 2:27
  And and you did you put me in the in
• 2:31
  the reprint here? Why? Who did you? How did you
• 2:33
  decide who to put in the reprint?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I it was on Monday morning. The book was
• 2:39
  the sample book was due at one o'clock that same day.
• 2:42
  So I just grabbed the old the whole file of
• 2:46
  the old book, and just hand picked from a tiny thumbnails,
• 2:50
  just a handful of pictures I wanted in there.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: There's our good friend Craig Beelick.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And you were saying that many of the people that
• 2:58
  are in here are dead now.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Joe mc queen's in here. Joe McQueen's passed away. So
• 3:02
  is Willie Moore, who's famous for that barber shop.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to bad Brad Wheeler was not
• 3:09
  in the book, was he?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: That's why I was just thinking about that this morning.
• 3:13
  He should have he should have been sure, maybe the
• 3:15
  next one. Maybe I should do the next one. I
• 3:16
  think you should.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: He's he's just as ogged and his bill.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Is yeah, yeah, he's and he was great friends with
• 3:22
  Joe McQueen over the years. So anyway, these portraits are
• 3:27
  just great. So I'm going to go up there tomorrow,
• 3:30
  I'm going to take the train up to Ogden, the
• 3:32
  front Runner. I'll go to Union Station and there's a
• 3:35
  ceremony at five o'clock.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Right, that's correct, five o'clock. It starts. There's a list
• 3:39
  of a quite extensive list of about twenty seven entities
• 3:43
  that are also going to be placing items in the
• 3:46
  time capsule. One a few noteworthy ones that they're going
• 3:51
  to be putting. A stuffed animal of Waldo the Wildcat
• 3:54
  from Weaver State makes sense. Yeah, there will be some
• 3:58
  samples and sketches from a guy named Alphonso and I'm
• 4:02
  probably gonna murder this last name, but it's ten Rio ten. Anyway,
• 4:07
  he's got a symphonic piece that will be performed tomorrow
• 4:10
  as well. Uh, and there'll be some stuff from him
• 4:13
  in the in the time capsule as well as a
• 4:16
  Weaver State professor pepper Glass has a book called Misplacing Ogden, Utah,
• 4:21
  which I haven't I haven't seen before.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But uh, that's why you were going to You're going
• 4:25
  to say they were going to put the professor in
• 4:26
  the time time capsule. Uh, well, it's a it's a
• 4:30
  it's an honor. Now you are supposed to be the
• 4:32
  one to put this in the time capsule. Nobody even
• 4:34
  considered that I should do it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Well, right, well, I'll be out of town, so I thought.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So, so I'm filling in for I'm filling in for
• 4:43
  Brian at the time capsule.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Well you are mister Ogden, aren't you?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Well? I I think I am, but I think there
• 4:49
  are other people who don't think.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Weren't you the parade? Uh they call it Grand Marshal
• 4:55
  of the Parade one year.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: No, never been to Grand Marshal marshall. I announced the

  parade one year, okay, because Lann Allen was sick, so
• 5:05
  I did it. And then I announced it the Rodeo
• 5:08
  one year because.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I called post Malone and he wasn't going to
• 5:13
  be able to do it, so I thought you should
• 5:14
  probably do.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It well post Malone. We're trying to get a hold
• 5:17
  of him because last year I was best Utah in
• 5:20
  in City Weekly. Right, he's best Utahon this year. I
• 5:23
  need to give him my best best uton sash. Oh yeah,
• 5:27
  that's nice, sort of a peaceful transfer of power between
• 5:30
  me and post Malone. So I'm trying to get a
• 5:32
  hold of it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Let me know when that happens, I'll come photograph it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Nice, So this is very nice. I'm looking forward
• 5:38
  to it. I'll be there five o'clock. You have any
• 5:40
  idea what time I'm actually gonna do it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Well, if if they're going by the list here, you're
• 5:46
  third in the list of these twenty seven presenters. But
• 5:48
  I think this is mostly alphabetical, so who knows if
• 5:51
  they'll stick to that.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, and I'm gonna Katie, we could record this portion too,
• 5:55
