you have you flipped more canoes than kayaks oh yeah testing testing
tommy ever go to camp earl wallace where camp earl wallace yeah it's like a little 4-h camp
in east kentucky a lot of east kentucky kids go to i went till i was too old to go i was the only
kid there with boobs but uh i flipped canoes left and right over there flipped every canoe they had
well i flipped a canoe one time on a canoe camping trip with all the camping gear in it
oh i mean everything was in dry bags but it was such a pain in the ass getting everything back in
the oh i'm sure canoe just having to swim around after shit we saw an osprey, though, this weekend. Like a bird. It's a massive bird.
And it swooped down and, like, you know, grabbed the fish out of the water.
Oh, love that.
And then as it was flying off, it shook.
And all this water came off of it.
Oh, we saw some herons pull that shit in Colorado.
Really?
Yeah, it was incredible.
I also saw a golden, no, no, no, a golden hawk.? Yeah, it was incredible. I also saw a golden...
No, no, no. A golden hawk.
That's what it was. Flaming golden hawk.
Yeah, a golden hawk.
You want me to tell you
a little something about the golden hawk you might not know?
An osprey. What do they look like?
Sorry. They look like hawks, but bigger.
Oh.
What do you know about the golden hawk?
When you hear a bald eagleagles cry you know like that iconic
yeah you know freedom cry that's actually a golden hawks cry because bald eagles cries really like
pussy so like oh no we gotta beef this one up so america basically their animal mascot is like
uh you know they took made an amalgam of two different types of hogs.
One that looks physically imposing and one that sounds physically imposing.
My sister went hiking, excuse me, in Canada one time with some people.
It's actually crazy.
Her luggage got lost and she just literally went on like a 10-day hike with nothing.
She's fucking crazy. She's like, I ain't letting this ruin my bad time. She didn't have no 10-day hike with nothing. She's fucking crazy.
She's like, I ain't letting this ruin my bad time.
She didn't have no gear, no shoes, nothing.
Just absolute loon.
But anyway, she said that her and her friend were out and they saw a bald eagle.
And the friend was like, what is that?
She said, oh, it's a bald eagle.
And the girl looked at her and said but we're in canada
like the bald eagle respects the borders
it's like i know my range hey we're getting a little little northern maine we're getting a
little too close for comfort let's dial it back in but i was in the russell fork this weekend
and there were a ton of kayakers over there.
But, you know, every weekend in October, they release more water through the dam.
And so it's like a great run in October.
I really want to do it this year.
Every year I say I'm going to.
Isn't it dangerous?
Well, an outfitter comes over there and runs it just in October every year.
An outfitter comes.
Like in a big, one of those tubes?
What are you talking about a tube well are you talking about running it in a kayak yeah damn isn't that really dangerous
no no not especially not when the water's high isn't there like class four and five rapids well
when the water's high it's not like what makes rapids the most dangerous are rocks and when
water's really high it's above the dangerous rocks you see i'm saying but it's a fast fun run it's still big water but won't the rocks
still be there you can get literally ripped apart by a tide strong enough like a rip what do you
what do you call them rivers i thought the rocks though they'll still be there they'll just be
under the water so you still get hit by them not if you're you're not in the water what we're
forgetting is tanya's a seasoned pro oh right i forgot in october there were a ton of kayakers
over there just this past weekend but it's not there's not a ton of great water and it is more
dangerous this time of year i wouldn't do it but in october an outfitter comes and you they rent
you all the stuff and they like you might they might even got
it let's say your life insurance policy for two dollars they're that confident i just always feel
like that makes it so that makes it more uh safe if there's a outfitter because they could get sued
let me tell you something when i used to hire i want to say this if you want just in my time
booking concerts you can get a million dollar insurance policy in 2015 for 600 dollars
so basically your life's worth 600 dollars that'd take a flyer but they could have you sign a
release form that releases all liability no that don't stand up in court listen
need some lawyers on this anyway listen if an outfitter had any any percentage of deaths like
if they had more than one percent deaths they couldn't run you know what i mean yeah but like
how many people a day does like die in frito Frito-Lay warehouses, but nobody cares anymore?
Well, that's because they're workers.
We really hate workers in this country.
Okay, but, like, um...
We love tourists.
In America, we hate workers.
We're obsessed with tourists.
With tourists and customers.
But even then, though, still, like, people still get, you know, poisoned by, poisoned by like water and stuff but nobody cares
so you're saying it don't nobody cares about rafters nine but we would at least hear about it
i mean it's probably low on the list of priorities but we would at least hear about it if there were
a bunch of deaths in the rustle fork well it certainly would be bad for the 2022 Outfitter Run. But by 2024, everybody's going to forget about it.
Y'all, Steve Kayak's over there three days a week.
He has been for 50 fucking years.
That's the point, though.
He's been doing it for 50 fucking years.
I'm a pussy.
I'm not.
So you're telling me, do you know Sarah and Jonathan did it?
And almost died, if you recall.
No, they didn't.
And I told them not to. I literally died if you recall. No, they did.
And I told them not to.
I literally told them not to.
And they did anyway.
And now we're telling you.
Don't do it. All right, all right.
I like that.
Don't you and Jonathan soon?
I was like, yeah, and Sarah complained she couldn't walk for three weeks afterwards.
Yeah, she did.
It was bad.
They should have done it.
And they're a little dingy.
Well, I thought October was the time to do it.
I mean, hundreds of kayakers flocked to the...
Well, I thought that they flocked
because it was so dangerous and insane.
No, it's not that it's dangerous.
It's just big, fun water.
And so it looks dangerous,
but that doesn't...
Big water isn't necessarily what makes a river...
The danger.
It isn't what creates the danger.
It's just but one element.
See, I've been taught by everything growing up
that big water... Noah? Or you know in the ark bad news climate change moses split the water
and then when they when they redid it back all the water came rushing back i'm charleston just
saying big water historically has failed a lot of even civilizations. I know. Well, listen, I'm not an expert, and big water is a component, of course.
I'm not saying it's not.
Are you in the pocket of big water?
Oh, for God's sake.
Yes.
Yeah.
Between my legs.
Just let...
Okay.
This is September.
We're going to give it a month.
It's literally just next month.
We just don't want you to die.
I'm going to... I'm not trying to
be a stick in the mud. Especially not
that way. Don't you think that would be
a fun way to go out though? That would be one of the worst.
Drowning?
Fun way to go out would be taking
one to the back of the head while you're
execution style.
Eating pussy. You don't
know. You get smothered.
Jealous husband shoots you in the back of my head while eating pussy that would be an ideal way to go
all right i'm gonna do more research between now and october on the russell fork in particular
but i just i guess i'll just have blind faith if an outfitter is running it that is fine this i'm
very shocked hearing this from you
i feel like everything we know about america would disabuse us of the idea that anybody is looking
out for us or that anybody has any incentive to not what i love most is the last institution
tanya's hanging on to the white water
i'm turning to extreme sports to alert me away from reality i mean i've just at this point i've
done as much drugs as i can i think you've moved on i'm at the top tier layer of drugs that i can
take in without freaking out you're gonna be an extreme athlete your second act but i'm not very
athletic i do have good hand-eye coordination i played softball and i do feel but i'm not very athletic. I do have good hand-eye coordination. I played softball, and I do feel, but I'm not fast, obviously.
Are there any extreme sports that...
And I love water.
Are there any extreme sports that require good hand-eye coordination?
Extreme sports?
Like where just the most minor slip-up could result in death?
Well, being in a large rapid i would say is that a
hand-eye coordination or just i just want to say something you tried to sell us on five minutes
ago to be perfectly safe no i didn't say it was perfectly safe i just said i thought it was safe
enough i mean i've done like over a hundred no like nothing's without its risks i've done over
200 miles with the colorado river now i feel like I could do a local river, surely.
Does 200 miles on the Colorado River.
Dies in the Russell Fork.
That actually checks out.
Dies at pool point.
Drowns in Russell.
Over at the breaks, National Park.
God damn it.
All right, I'm going to think about it a little more.
How was your trip, by the way?
We've not even debriefed about that. Really? We didn't? Oh, yeah, y'all didn't even ask me about it. All right. I'm going to think about it a little more. How was your trip, by the way? Yeah, we've not even debriefed about that.
Really?
We didn't?
Oh, yeah.
Y'all didn't even ask me about it.
Are y'all still called the Wonders?
Yeah.
It's because we were the Whitewater Women, but it got gayer.
So now we're the Whitewater Wonders.
To throw off the, to make it more non-binary.
Right. I see. Well, how did this i mean last time you when you were on the new with wonders that was a classic episode well how did
this one go it it was incredible i didn't want to leave i told you it's like heaven and the new
that was in west virginia that was when we did a local this week we went back out west this is my
third trip out west i've done the new
the news great i love it but i've not done the colorado and the galley did you see me i heard
the galley is like brutal it is i didn't do i don't think i did the hardest part of it i think
i did the lower galley that's where i've heard like people been like yeah and half and drown
and shit i don't know about all that but yes drown yes ripped in half i'm not
the guy named ed tierney told me that he had seen people ripped in half
oh my god oh my god
it was incredible i um you know on those big trips the guides do a lot of the work
i mean we joked about it being glamping last time yeah yeah although i trips the guides do a lot of the work i mean we joked about it being
glamping last time yeah yeah although i mean you still do a lot of work and it is fucking
really dangerous but the guides like carry you around like a little baby and cook all your meals
it's incredible yeah they carry you almost like you know they carry yeah they got platforms they
just carries around it's incredible but like um it's just it's just like magic one because it was incredible but like um it's just it's just like magic one because it was six days
there's no phone service nobody has any phones out no one we literally do not know what's happening
in the world completely living in the moment it's in a huge gorgeous canyon this was cataract canyon
it was a six-day run in cataract canyon we had a layover day so we just partied a whole day and at the place we
camped on our layover day there was like an eddy that um would take you in the opposite direction
really slow of the river and so we just day drank a whole day and we're getting that eddy and float
up and then catch the actual river current and come back down and we called it the fucking clear
canyon tilt-a-whirl we were just or clear
water the camp we were at was called clear water and we we were just we'd be like come get on the
tilt-a-whirl bitch we're just chilling in the circle all day it was so magical um but yeah i
just loved it and i just like being on water is so healing and so fucking good and the world is so
fucking bad i also like as soon as i
go into colorado i got to go to a dispensary and get like you know good grade edibles and i was
just huh i was just like literally as high and happy as imaginable so you six straight days you
feel more comfortable on water now is it going is it going to become
your um yeah you're like natural habitat it always has been i have a hot tub i mean every day i'm
essentially a hot tub mermaid you're amphibious yeah i'm in water every day i can't take the land
is i mean it's probably it's it is probably a good way to be because we are losing more and more land
we should probably get more and more comfortable on water i really did like i tried not to slip
into apocalyptic thinking while i was out there because i'm like this is bliss like
i don't i tried to like keep myself and we would tell each other it's like a whole bunch of like
stay in the canyon you know stay in the canyon don't start talking about bullshit in the outside world it's just
bullshit to stay here at least all we have six days you know the fantasy yeah all we have are
these six days we can at least just be here with each other you know it's least we can do for each
other and i tried not to slip into apocalyptic thinking but i definitely did think like
whether it's floods or fire that gets us it would be smart to have a little you know
boat packed near a waterway yeah just to be ready to get gone well i don't want to be the
apocalyptic guy but being on the colorado would have just because i lived in las vegas and like
every day you're constantly reminded yep uh well our water supply is kind of yeah didn't they find like this was the first year
that it was actually part of it was like bone dry or something yeah well no so i actually took out
at i learned a bunch um about this i took we took out on our last day in like we went through lake
powell and an article actually dropped the day we came off the water about Lake Powell and how. Where's Lake Powell at? So it's in, it's a lake they created basically in.
In the river.
In the river.
Which I guess that's where all lakes are created.
In the river.
But past where we took Al of the river, it's all like houseboats and shit.
Yeah.
But Lake Powell's drying up.
And so it's returning to the natural river bed um
and so a lot of like environmentalists even the fucking an uber driver was like them green ass
tree huggers he went on about it fucking nut about the fact that they they want they want it to they
want the lake to go dry they want it to return to its original um river pattern
i don't know all about it i don't understand i don't want to speak on things i don't
no i know i do that somebody's gonna step up and say well actually yeah well and fine fine i you
know i'm i don't know anything about anything don't i'm no expert on goddamn nothing but i just
said the other day i said i've said more about that i know yeah i literally i've always said more about anything than i know because i never shut the fuck up
okay but the so what the way the guides talked about it is that new rapids have come back that
no one had ever gotten to ride in the last decades because it became a fucking lake so now we have
these new rapids so i got to ride these new rapids that have been buried under a lake for however long were you the first were you one of the first maybe i don't know
tanya you're gonna be like the inverse or the reverse of uh you know like how they said that
humans started with like some fish crawling out and think it'd be cool i'm going back you're going
back to the wall yeah i'll evolve backwards i want to become a mermaid i mean i've always just like i mean i was the kid who didn't want to get out of the bath
cried to get out of the bath and like i just i'm a trip i'm literally a triple water sign i don't
know like i'm obsessed with water i cry all the time just like i just need hydration i just water
is very important to me um and yeah it was just pure goddamn bliss all weekend and on the
last night we always do a sexy dress up night and my crazy ass used the very limited space in my
dry bag we each get one fucking dry bag i asked for two and they wouldn't give me an extra
one dry bag each and you have to fit your stupid fucking um sleeping bag in there
so you have very little space in the dry bag uh-huh your girl went all the way down the
colorado river just with these items that were just for the last night a floor length pink silk robe two different sets of lingerie and a pink cowboy hat just for the
last night in a boat no hydration you don't carry water in your dry bag you don't no no this is just
the dry bag just for my personal shit yeah yeah yeah we've got all these coolers and shit with water and food
yeah that's why these ore boats are like goddamn it's like they have basements or something they're
just packed so efficiently and again not to be apocalyptic but it's just really reassuring to
me about my ability to survive honestly i've had every confidence in you since i saw that that uh what you call that
bug out bag you just keep by the door you've been ready at a moment's notice i got a baseball bat
by my bed i got a go bag i'm fucking with these people i have no confidence in my ability to
survive i mean i'm slow so i worry i mean i have two shotguns but nobody i don't really i'm not in
like the guy that came
and worked on my hot water heater he was like oh you afraid of boogers up here you're gonna get a
booger with i said i am the fucking booger ain't nothing in my house worth shooting nobody over
ain't gonna shoot nobody you know i ain't got nothing to value yeah well they're gonna take
the fucking tv a laptop my boss owns i don't give a fuck i mean this house is full of fucking
crystals and herbs tar Tarot decks.
Nobody ain't got enough fucking value.
I got one knockoff Gucci bag.
They're welcome to.
Yeah.
I mean, that's about the only thing I'd stick in a fucking safe.
I'll get an Alibaba and get me another one.
Yeah, hell.
But no, I just, I have felt better than I had in a really long time.
I mean, y'all know that I had a terrible winter.
And every time I do one of these Colorado trips,
I say it changes my life every time.
And this did again.
It was just like.
That's just the reset button you need.
Yeah.
Last time, I said, I think not the last trip,
but the trip before that.
Wasn't there like some sort of fire situation y'all were escaping?
Yeah.
One of our days on the river, we talked about it a bunch on this trip because it was so traumatic one of our days on the
river it the wind was so bad we only made it five miles and like we're supposed to i mean we're on a
time we're on a schedule to or like take out you know what i mean and we can't we only have a
satellite phone for emergencies it's not like we can text somebody and be like hey we're gonna be
a day late or whatever and we only have a certain amount of food. It's not like we can text somebody and be like, hey, we're going to be a day late or whatever.
And we only have a certain amount of food and water.
Also, you can't just shit in the woods around there.
Like, these are protected.
This is a natural fucking park.
We were going through Canyonlands National Park.
And we shit in buckets and take it with us.
They don't let you shit in the woods in national parks?
No, no.
I mean, not this one.
This is very protected.
I mean, we saw petroglyphs pictographs like there's like this is remnants
of lots of ancient civilizations right but they don't let the civilizations live there they're
like you can't shit here but the natives can't live here they're not shitting here either which
when i did gates of ledor the whole left i can't remember if it was left or right but one whole
side of the bank of
that river is native lands and we couldn't even camp over there we couldn't even step foot over
there um what kind of critters did you say not a ton but um bighorn sheep um a lot of herons
there were a couple rabbits one time that's a little unsampling yeah but there weren't there
wasn't a ton of deer the witch oh rabbits rabbits freak me they're my neighborhood's covered in
rabbits and you can't take and i'm like out at night and when they'll just like stand there and
look at you and just like do that little well bighorn sheep look like demonic uh goats yeah i
mean a bighorn sheep looks like a goat i mean if i if people
didn't tell me that's a bighorn sheep i would think it was some gnarly ass goat yeah like
they're wild looking and it's just crazy they scale a straight up fucking canyon just straight
up i just i'd love to see the feet on these fuckers right they just yeah just run straight
up because like somebody will spot one and be like sheep sheep and we'll like try to like you know yell down the boat so everybody can see it
um but by the time my dumb ass i'm like i've missed it that motherfucker's moving like that
straight up a goddamn canyon god it's wild but we saw um several granaries is what they called
them but like places where um native people had like hid and stored their
grains. Yeah.
That's crazy. It's just, it's
Well, I saw mounds recently.
Oh yeah, how'd that go?
Is that the big serpent one in Ohio? Yeah.
Yeah, I've been there. It's pretty cool. Where is the
serpent mound that you said on the show the other day?
Like Chillicothe? Yeah, it's like an hour
or 45, it's like 45 minutes or an hour
from Chillicothe. Yeah. South of Chillicothe. Davina lives around there. It's like an hour, 45. It's like 45 minutes or an hour from Chillicothe.
Yeah.
South of Chillicothe.
Davina lives around there.
Yeah.
West Union.
Yeah.
Ohio.
Yeah.
So you're rebranding as an extreme sportsman.
It's not a rebrand.
It's not a rebrand.
You've always been a extreme sportsman. No, no, no.
You've been an extreme sportsman, not told us.
This whole time?
Not water.
You're like snowboarding? You all know I'm obsessed with water. I love to swim. What are even extreme sports we're not told this whole time not water snowboarding you
all know i'm obsessed with water i love to swim what are the extreme sports snowboarding
skateboarding there's no way i could stand on a skateboard are you getting into surfing come on
that's gotta be surfing look at me i'm so top heavy you guys like there's just no way like i
just jonah hill's gotten into surfing and he's top.
Me and him are built exactly
on the same line. I do not have a great
center of gravity, I'll tell you that.
I just like,
it's just so, I felt so lucky to be
out there. You've had a second life
as an extreme sports woman.
I did my first trip
Gates of Lador in 2015.
That was my first. That was my first trip Gates of Lador in 2015 That was my first
That was my first rafting trip
I went out west and I missed my flight and everything
It's a god damn miracle I got out there
Here we go
We've got base jumping
We've got bungee jumping
I'm afraid of heights
Skydiving
Surfing, rafting, rock climbing
So rafting is considered an extreme sport
I guess so.
It's in the Olympics.
I didn't know that until this year.
Scuba diving.
Ice climbing.
There's water involved in ice climbing.
Chaos magic.
That's my sweet spot.
Chaos magic.
Calculus.
I had such a good time.
And afterwards, we went to Mesa Verde
I sent you a picture of New Mexico
you went to the four corners
it's funny
the funny thing about the four corners
growing up I was like
oh this is a big thing and I got to visit it one time
we had a swim meet in Farmington
and we went to the four corners
and I was like wow this is incredible
and then the older I got I was like it's just a line like people drew two lines and then just made it uh yeah yeah well
there's a pinnacle in Bell County and if you get to go up to the pinnacle um it's in Cumberland
Gap State Park yeah you can see where I grew up you can see four or five states you can see like
Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky and and maybe even North Carolina.
Right.
All from the pinnacle.
Yeah.
But what was so cool, I mean, Mesa Verde was all the-
You got to see Mesa Verde?
Yeah, dude.
Dog, I went to Mesa Verde a couple years ago.
The cliff dwellings?
The cliff dwellings was fucking crazy.
Fucked me up.
Yeah.
What I could not understand, so there's all this lore. We should do a Fucked me up. Yeah. What I could not understand.
So there's like all this lore.
We should do a whole episode about this.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm down.
I don't know.
You noticed our turn lately.
We're digging into the weird.
That's all we got.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And trying to, let's see, I've got a running list of things.
Now I don't even put lists together of things to talk about.
I put lists together of things not to talk about amazing so yeah we got on the list jason is
you just start bleeping
start me for the while but basically two things one the cliff dwellings like one like why did
they choose to build i mean they had literal palaces with 150 fucking rooms carved into the side of a cliff.
Why?
I think it's, I don't know.
Do you think the water was up that high?
No, I think it's probably, it offers you a lot of shelter, for one.
But didn't they also, it's been five years since i was there
didn't they also use though the top of the cliffs to run um uh cattle and buffalo off the side so
they would fall and die and then they could collect the meat and the bones and everything
oh i must have missed that placard i think that the whole area because like being there there's
several different cliff dwellings there's ones that are
close to the canyon floor and then over time they moved up into the canyon i mean i'm sure it was
like safety there's like a handful of yeah but they just really don't know they've done a lot
of guessing what i also didn't realize so mesa verde is a national park but it is a world heritage
site it's pretty it's an internationally protected place is it like yeah i'm imagining like spiritual
very like i i almost wasn't even comfortable being there.
I was like, this...
I mean, and I feel like this in a lot of state parks,
a lot of national parks.
Our national parks are really incredible
and we don't belong there.
It just was like...
Is it like...
Same with Serpent Man.
Are they like...
No, they're not caves.
I'm imagining like Petra and Jordan.
No, it's... Yeah, they're not caves. They carved imagining like Petra and Jordan. No, it's... Yeah, they're not caves.
They carved it out of the side of these cliffs.
You'll just have to Google it and look at it.
I mean, it's incredible.
But the other crazy thing is that they have no evidence.
There's no evidence that we have been able to find on why or how they left.
There's no bones.
There's no like mass bones.
There's no showing that they had a
mass like you know like a lot of civilizations that are gone there's all this evidence that
they had a plague and all died or genocide or genocide or yeah there's lots of well like there's
either evidence or documentation of what happened there's no evidence documentation of what happened
to these people and it's assumed that they moved but there's no evidence of where they went how
they like yeah there's just like a lot of questions they just dipped down and there's a lot of of
course um conspiracy theories about aliens yeah i mean um the same thing i mean because if you
think of the mounds and then have you heard of the nasca lines I might be saying that wrong Nazca Nazca lines in Peru
they're these massive earthworks that um if you you can only tell like from really high up in the
air but it um portrays a monkey it's a massive monkey it's even I think it's bigger than serpent
mound um but it does raise the question of like, they never got to see, you know, this.
So who did?
I don't know.
Or what did?
Right.
Yeah.
What was the point here?
Yeah.
I mean, granted, it was obviously,
it was for the deities.
It was for their deities.
But it isn't.
I always do find that interesting.
Especially when Serpent Mound is considered because, and a lot of earthworks in general in Ohio and Wisconsin, they were, and in like, yeah, like in the upper Midwest, they were made on the sides of hills to give them the appearance of motion.
You know what I mean?
Like to look like it was going up.
Serpent Mound itself was built on the side of a crater
yeah like 250
million years ago an asteroid struck the earth right
there on the side of it is where they built Serpent Mound
and
and so it is an interesting
thing
especially when like
western supremacists or white supremacists
are like they didn't have like
this amazing
like painting tradition or whatever
that they had in Europe,
like in the Renaissance and stuff.
And it's like, well, I mean,
this is pretty incredible in its own right.
They built these huge, you know,
earthworks that had an aesthetic.
You could tell that there was an aesthetic.
The Incas could have painted the Sistine Chapel,
but the Italians could not have did the giant monkey oh my god they carved palaces out of the side of
fucking yeah that's that's insane yeah because that that's what's really crazy about the cliff
dwellings yeah it's they didn't build them out of the cliffs they built into into the cliffs yeah
the biggest one that they call the palace was 150 rooms yeah like you
couldn't get close to it because it's a lot of it a lot of it's shut down because of covid like
they're when there's when covid's not happening they'll give you guided tours through it but it's
also on mesa verde but they also like there's all this wild i mean it's like the pyramids and
shit there's all this really wild dimension shit around the windows all being exactly the same size and like one window to the other is like precisely exactly even and
this kind of shit and there's one whole building that we got to like walk around and look at
and all the all the writing about it all the placards around it had said that there's just
like lots of disagreement among scholars about what that building in particular was even for
because it didn't make any sense.
And they like the only like agreed upon thing is that it was probably built
for celestial research.
Wow.
Interesting.
They did that just to stargaze,
baby.
They've got a problem.
All we do is work.
I'm just reading this from,
I'm just reading this from American cowboy magazine about the cliff palace. Oh wow. I'm about reading this from American Cowboy magazine about the Cliff Palace.
Oh, wow.
I'm about to subscribe.
This is from the episode that featured Thomas Hayden Church,
who those wings heads in the audience will remember as Lowell from Wings.
Tell us, what did American Cowboy magazine have to say about the Cliff Palace?
Just, you know, spurred by his findings at Mesa Verde,
Richard Weatherill would continue searching for ancient dwellings
and artifacts for years to come.
Today, he's credited with discovering Keats Hill, too,
a cliff dwelling now included in the Navajo National Monument.
But it is a cliff palace for which he is remembered,
the largest cliff dwelling in North America.
I like it.
Good on American Cowboy Magazine
for putting discovering in scare quotes.
Yeah, yeah.
Discovered.
This thing that obviously no one had been here
and built before.
Yeah, yeah.
It just happened to palm us.
Yeah.
I agree with you.
It does feel weird to be there and wrong.
I mean, well, you weren't even, we were talking about,
I was telling Tom and Aaron, you know,
the Adena is one of the civilizations that is rumored to have built
maybe Serpent Mound.
And I think they know that the Adina built Alligator Effigy Mound in Ohio.
Regardless, Adina is just a name that some white landowner in Ohio made up.
Exactly. And even like, what everything says is much better.
It's like the Pueblo people.
That just means village.
Just town people. Yeah. It's like ridiculous. isn't it a Spanish word just the locally local Spanish word for town people like I'm sure like granted like whoever was the Adina was not around
by the time of European contact but I guarantee you there was a name for them in the traditions of the civilizations
that were around at that time you know what i'm saying yeah like but we just don't listen
or had driven them off the land or you know what i'm saying totally uh um what's what's kind of
wild well one thing about my severe day and then i there's another thing i want to say about the
um river and the rapids.
One about Mesa Verde
is the coolest thing maybe.
Well,
I won't say that,
but like something
that was really wild
was being in the fire,
the watchtower.
And it's a 24 hour
watchtower at the highest peak.
You went to the top of the peak?
Yeah.
The peak was insane.
It's insane.
And there's a watchtower up there
that uses all this like like, really old technology.
Like, it's just like, they've literally just got a bunch of maps and fucking doodle, like,
little tools and shit up there.
And it's a fire watch.
They are the ones who, they're the first response, like, first emergency shit when they see any
smoke anywhere and they watch lightning storms.
Podcast studio, basically.
Yeah, they're just the front lines.
Right.
Yeah, they're just in there dicking around waiting for lightning to strike.
And like any amount of smoke, they like call the coordinates in and all this shit.
It's wild.
And then they had all this information up like they had dry erase boards where they were just like,
these are the states that you're seeing smoke in right now because it was fairly smoky.
states that you're seeing smoke in right now because it was fairly smoky yeah and that fucking dry erase board said that the dixie fire which is in california had already burned a half a million
acres god damn i didn't realize that i have a friend that's fighting fires in washington state
right now oh my god i was like brother be careful man it's fucking it's so wild man man. It was bad, bad, bad. Yeah.
But back to the river.
One, you know, it's like a super intergenerational group.
The group was ages 19.
Our full group, we had 22 people, 23 people counting the guides, including guides.
Our ages ranged from 19 to 74.
God damn.
It's pretty fucking wild and incredible.
I mean, these are just like
literal
legends of the goddamn civil rights
movement, truly. It's like pretty
incredible.
Just southern queer icons.
Literally.
I'm a legend of the civil rights movement, but you never give me any. Terrence is a southern queer icons. Well, I'm a legend of the civil rights movement, but you never give me any.
Darren says a southern queer icon.
Why didn't he get the call out?
Yeah, what the fuck?
So you think it was...
What?
You really think that UFOs, they may have had contact with extraterrestrials?
I have no idea.
I heard, though, someone told me that there's a new National Explorer show out about it.
Or National...
Geographic?
Yeah, National Geographic show.
About ancient aliens among the natives?
Yeah, I heard that there's a new show about it that's good.
So maybe I'll watch it.
I don't know.
And then I'll know everything there is to know about it.
I don't know.
But the crazy shit about the rapids is that almost all the rapids are named after the first,
like, basically the first white dude that survived that river and journaled about it.
Teddy Roosevelt.
Yeah, T-R.
Teddy.
No, I can't remember his name.
I mean, it's like some Lewis and Clark shit.
But there's a lot of really funny stories about why the rapids are named certain things.
Like there's, there's like a 50 foot drop across three rapids.
They call Satan's gut.
And another one.
I've got some of that going on right now.
Highly relatable name.
Yeah.
It's like a very short amount of space and time where you drop like each one.
The total of the drop is 50 feet.
It's pretty wild
um it was great we flipped a couple boats in it but anyway it was fine um but i i didn't paddle
no no we didn't do any little boats in those actually in the we didn't do any duckies we'd
have to roll we'd have to like put all the boats on the big boat the little boats on the big boats
to get through those but anyway who's the captain sort of of the wonders? Like, who's the one that's like the Steve Zissou character?
Well, this is all around one person's birthday.
She's like a huge rafting.
Like, she's rafted since college.
And I actually just interviewed her.
Her name's Pam.
And she was the last episode of my Patreon pleasure podcast.
Shout out Pam.
My Hainty stuff.
Shout out Pam.
Go subscribe to Tanya.
Yeah. At patreon.com slash haintank t my closing out of season one can you believe i stuck it out for a whole year you know depressed as hell
i always believed in you i won't say and stuck out a pleasure pot it's 12 episodes of joy
anyway so we talk all about and she talks all about like how she feels like she's been called
in her life to help adults play and experience joy and she feels like water is a big way to do
that and anyway so they're all all of the trips are centered around her like she does all the
invites and stuff and coordination only a virgo could do this tons of spreadsheets to figure it
all out because it's a really remote place like we all have to fly into different places and drive
like we're renting cars we're all trying to get to each other i mean it's wild
um and it's just pretty crazy that we all just find each other we all just end up in the same
place like 20 of us i mean it's always crazy to me but i don't do that much like big group travel
so it's always like holy shit we all just made it here somehow in a pandemic how do we do this
um but anyway there's a head guide and our head we've had the
same head guide in out of because we use the same outfitter on the colorado on the colorado river
we've had her every time she's been going with them since for 26 years wow brenda shout out to
brenda she's a real one shout out brenda um so she's just incredible um but yeah 1974 pretty rad that's crazy what i was
gonna say about this i can't remember the dude's name but um in one of the rapids in the door
fucking insane he they had wooden boats i mean they were going down with literally wooden boats
there in one of the rapids that he ended up calling like hell for certain or something i don't even remember the whole their entire boats shattered like hit a
rock and just shattered and they had to camp there for months until they could get enough
trees down in a canyon and build a new fucking boat we just ain't built for shit no no can you
imagine but in his journals what's the funniest part is that that day that's when he found
out his whole he this was like supposed to be an alcohol drug-free trip i mean i mean this was in
like the early 1900s or 18 i can't remember i don't even know my dates are so my history is bad
but uh the day the boat shattered is when he found out his entire crew was drunk the whole time because he found out they they
their huge barrel of whiskey was emerged and they were trying to save a barrel of whiskey
just a bunch of guys there i'm scratching my head out here. They're literally like trying to rescue a fucking barrel of whiskey.
My goddamn journals would be like Captain's Log Day 57.
Dealing with something the locals call crotch rot.
Basically, my birds are going to fall off.
I'm out here trying to rebuild this boat while these street toughs over here trying to get and cop a damn buzz.
But yeah, he's like he found out his whole crew were drugs that day.
He's like, I didn't find a barrel of whiskey.
I mean, I couldn't handle it.
I've had a tummy ache all day today.
And I'm just in the comfort of my own home.
Paris, you've had a tummy ache for six years.
Imagine the wild. You've had a tummy ache since I met you. Yeah comfort of my own home. Terrence, you've had a tummy ache for six years. Imagine the wild.
You've had a tummy ache since I met you.
Yeah, it's not good.
I think it was with Sarah or something.
We were talking about you and food.
And they said, Terrence don't eat nothing.
I said, he can't.
He's got two sins and a belly.
Terrence eats for survival.
Terrence eats like spelt millet.
Terrence only eats the calories he has to to live. Terrence only eats the
raw grains mentioned in the scriptures.
Terrence can't eat. He's got too
sensitive of a belly. It's true.
Nothing likes
what's in there. No.
No, it's bad. Everything hits your belly
and goes apeshit.
It's wild.
Just punching one out.
I'm just too high strung to live.
He's too high strung to process a goddamn carrot.
I'm too high strung to process.
I used to get on my mom all the time about staying worried, and I've become her, essentially.
I just worry about every goddamn thing coming and going.
It is wild to grow up and
realize that people like my dad we used to say he had nerves you know it was like we talked about it
like his nerve he had bad nerves he had nerve peel and now it's like oh uh anxiety runs in my family
and we never spoke about it and just yeah that was just what it was called now you know it's
everybody had an anxiety disorder yeah well yeah i'm just also soft as hell, though.
You know, like, I'm realizing, like, you know, I've not had the hardest life by any means.
Relatively pretty easily.
But the hard times I have had have affected me greatly.
Just about took you out.
Yeah.
So it's like, but people have had it so much harder and they're so much more, so much stronger.
Every time I have a bad day, it's awful because it's like you have a really shitty day and
on and then you'll just spiral about how it wasn't actually that bad, but it did so much
mental damage.
It's like, so it's just double guilt of like, oh, I had a terrible day.
It probably wasn't even that bad.
I have no one.
it probably wasn't even that bad i have no one i i always guilt myself out of feeling like i actually deserve to pity or just to heal and like talk myself out of feeling like i went
through trauma and it's always be telling myself because no one's relying on me for life i don't
have children because it's like i guess just that's a good that is a good feeling that's my
oh it's so great i mean my i'd like obviously my animals rely on me and which
they're pretty independent i've worked out some pretty independent plants and animals in my house
i got about 40 plants and i can leave them for about two weeks and they're okay yeah i left i
accidentally left the cat out along a long weekend with no food and water because i thought she was
in the house but she comes and goes in and out of the house like yours but she don't have a window
i have to let her in and out and while i was loading the car i guess she took off and i didn't know i come back like four
days later and is it missing me no she was fine i hadn't left her out no food or water but she
i think i told you all she came in ate a bunch and then left for another few hours it's like
she had to go end another life she'd started without me yeah i thought back somewhere we had some laughs but uh i gotta go back home so i do anyway just
like even on my worst days i'm not really letting anybody else down that bad because no one relies
on me no children are relying on me i didn't mean to drag us into a bad place but it is sucks no
you're right i feel like you can't even well it's because like growing up anytime you'd be like,
I mean, it's like growing up anytime that you would talk about
how things were suboptimal,
your mom would be like, stop having a pity party.
Oh, yeah.
Constantly just like, buck up, you little bitch.
Just like.
And I was.
I mean.
I was such a whiny little bitch too.
I mean, I still am.
Oh, that's all I do is complain.
My mom lived an incredibly hard life.
And just nothing that I could come to her with the troubles would she sympathize with.
No, no.
You know what I mean?
I mean, you know, going through my breakup this winter.
I went through, last fall, a close friend died.
Three weeks later, i had a bad falling
out with my sister still ain't talking to her my other sister and then uh went through a bad breakup
all in like six weeks time all this happened like three horrible things happened to me and i was
just out like i mean i was as sad as i've ever been in my life and my mom literally looked at
me she said oh you're stronger nis get the fuck over it i mean she looked at me and she said, oh, you're stronger, Nia. Get the fuck over it. She looked at me.
She's like, you're still sad.
Because she'd call me and be like, hey, what are you doing?
Little bitch.
She'd literally be like, hey, what's up?
And I'm like, I got out of bed.
Little bitch.
And she said, why?
What's wrong?
I was like, well, mom, do I need to recap for you the hell I'm living through?
She said, hey, that was five days ago.
Yeah, I was like, god damn, that was a month ago.
You still crying over that
pussy
you can't let people
have this kind of control
over your life
and I was like
what do you think
you monster
I was like
god damn mom
finally around Christmas
oh
whoa
whoa
somebody had a little
too much kibble
whoa
okay
people be putting
on a show here
holy fuck yeah talk about bad times poopy butt just
set it up the front way whoa she got a little worked up she she just gets a little worked up
when people are some more damn pb in the house god damn it looks nasty cats are bad to throw shit up. I mean, uh... Amazing gag reflex, though, to have it up.
I guess I'll clean that up later.
They all seem totally unfazed by it, too.
She seems pretty fazed.
Wow.
PB, you okay?
You okay, bub?
If I don't catch the cat puke before the dog does, the dog eats it.
Are you okay?
You all right, PB?
See, she looks fine.
She's already...
She's wagging her tail yeah
she's fine yeah and all up you can just she's like uh did y'all see that
damn i'm embarrassed anyway no i love sheila she finally around christmas mom said
all right it seems like you've took this pretty seriously it's like three months of me just being an absolute shamble.
She finally
was like, I just hate you.
Going through it.
And you told me to snap out of it about ten times
to see if I could get over it.
My mom said, well, you know, have you ever
considered praying about it?
God.
I said, you know, I guess I didn't consider
petitioning the God of heaven and earth
that should be my first move i'm looking at other extreme sports we've got um parkour
that's considered an extreme that caught that caught some yeah that caught some
some traction this year that got popular people were really into parkour for a while. Well, it's COVID safe.
There's wakeboarding,
canyoning,
something called zorbing.
It's a fun activity
every child can practice.
The sport is the act of rolling down a hill
in a giant inflatable ball.
I don't think I'd put my child in a giant ball.
Every kid can enjoy this.
Wait, okay.
So, but it's considered an extreme sport?
Yeah.
Did you just Google extreme sports?
I did, yes.
List of extreme sports.
Hey, well, I've took up rafting.
You all got to pick one each.
Oh, God.
Extreme.
I'll probably do that ball thing.
That sounds cool.
Zorbing.
Most of COVID, you've wanted to be in a ball. I like being in a ball thing. That sounds cool. Zorbing? Zorbing.
Most of COVID, you've wanted to be in a ball.
I like being in a ball.
Being a bubble boy.
I like the, I don't think I would ever do this, but I do like when they put the GoPro cameras on the helmets and they get in the wingsuits and jump off of the mountain.
Have y'all ever watched that?
And then they like.
Yes.
Ain't it parasailing or something?
They call it wingsuit flying.
Oh, wait.
You basically become like a flying squirrel.
They're in a suit.
They're in a suit.
Yeah, basically a flying squirrel, yes.
Oh, wow.
Like our man that we did that first live show.
I think he was the pioneer of that, and it didn't really pan out, so...
Oh, yeah.
When y'all had...
Franz Reichelt.
When y'all showed a literal snuff film at a live show.
This is how, like...
Yeah, I didn't even perceive it as a snuff film.
That's how, like, completely detached,
or I guess...
Or maybe just acculturated or naturalized it.
People were very nice about it.
They were like,
that was fun, but we'll trigger warning next i was like what
they literally just post put up a oh yeah let's do a live show world's put up
early 20th century like somebody jumping off a building flattened out at the bottom well it's
i mean it's so cartoonish that i didn't think that anybody would like you all essentially showed Midsommar
just an original Midsommar
moment
honestly though that scene in
Midsommar is more traumatic than this
like the way it's filmed
like how shocking
it is like
yeah right
the man really died in this video
yeah
fair point anyway uh franz left a three foot
crater in the earth so these guys could fly did he really create a crater what do you know oh my god
i thought he did i thought he left oh he did yeah you're right it was like an indentation it wasn't
like a yeah not like a asteroid not big enough to You know put serpent mount
On the side of it
But
Wow
Um
No Franz Reichelt
A hero honestly
I think he's pretty tight
Um
That's just me
I have a couple other stories
For you guys
But I don't want to hog
All the
Screen time here
Hog away
What else do we got going on we got to record another
episode after this yeah well i'll let y'all pick yeah maybe we'll save one for the next episode
but i'll let you pick for this one you i've got a tinder story okay and a local festival
tale let's do let's do local festival now i'm tender for... Yeah, for the primo.
Okay.
Is this one the free episode?
I don't know.
I'm not the boss. I ain't in charge around here.
Neither am I, which
leaves only one person left.
PB's our manager.
Let's go with the local festival.
I like a little local flavor.
Okay, well, I have been to most of the local.
Letcher County, maybe Tom can give us a little background on why this is.
But Letcher County, which is one of 120 counties in Kentucky, is so segregated and full of, like, extreme localism
that they have.
Extreme sportsmen.
Letcher County has like six
separate community
festivals every summer.
Every single little community has
its own festival. We've got Isom Days,
Neon Days, Jenkins
Days, Mountain Heritage.
That's the big one in the middle of the White
River. That's the coup de grace
Blackie Days
I think there's one more
Let's see
I think that's it
There might be another one
Well I've been to Blackie Days
I love the Awesome Rodeo
I've been to many Awesome Rodeos
Which is coming up this weekend
I'm going to be out of town though
Nothing holds a flame to the
Lee County Fair and Rodeo
In Lee County, New Mexico
In Lovington
As a new reader of American Cowboy Magazine
I hope to see that one
New subscriber
I fucking love a rodeo
It's just glorious anyway been
to awesome days been to blackie days of course been to mountain heritage um and been to neon
days because i have friends up neon so i'd go to neon days i wouldn't tell it but yeah they do a
duck race i've even gambled in the duck race bought me several ducks screamed because they
drop them in at one point of the oh yeah they race to the
end anyway yeah but i had never been to jenkins days for some reason and it was this past weekend
and we before you do before you go there there's only two other things i know about jenkins days
i've never been one was the year gary stewart played it and flipped his corvette he was so
drunk incredible he died at jenkins they didn't die but he they said he flipped and then he hopped One was the year Gary Stewart played it and flipped his Corvette. He was so drunk.
Incredible.
He died at Jenkins.
No, he didn't die, but they said he flipped it,
and then he hopped out of there like,
that was crazy.
And then went and jumped on stage.
He was fine. Had a funnel kick.
Didn't have a scratch on him.
And then the other one was when a rogue cop,
which I guess in a way they're all rogues,
pulled a shotgun on the county attorney up there
and made him get on his knees.
Oh, my God.
In the middle of Jenkins Day in front of everybody.
Yeah.
The guy was like, don't you know who I am?
The guy did not care.
Well, essentially the same thing happened to me
at this Jenkins Day this past weekend.
Yeah.
And I had to pull a don't you know who I am.
Don't you know who i am don't you know god damn it
no i would have been in russell fork all day swimming and on the way back through i was like
i think if we double mask and just creep into this crowd we could get out with a funnel cake
yeah that's what i wanted was some like greasy food it's the best thing to get at a festival
and of course had the dog's the best thing to get at a festival and of course had the dog was the
only thing to get well covid and maybe some uh press weed yeah um so uh i changed clothes in
the car so i look presentable i get ruby harnessed up and we're trotting through jenkins days and
all these kids are running up to ruby and petting her and talking about how beautiful she is.
Also, I finally figured out what breed of dog Ruby is.
What?
What is she?
Did you buy the 23andMe for pups?
No, no.
I feel like I've got several running bets on what kind of breed Ruby is.
Okay, what's your top three?
She's got to be some kind of lab, right?
I think she's a pit bull mix.
No.
Pit, lab, hound.
She's got to be like boxer mix.
I would say boxer has got to be there too.
I got her at seven weeks old
at the Cocke County Animal Shelter in Tennessee
because they thought she was a boxer
and I wanted a boxer.
She's got like boxer legs kind of.
Yeah, and little boxer ears.
But her nap is a little lab-ish little she definitely has a long snout like unlike a boxer she doesn't
look like a boxer in fact she did as a puppy though before her like snout grew out she did
look like a boxer puppy a little bit so i could see why they thought that anyway she's definitely
not a boxer and people are always trying to guess what she is and i'm like i don't know she's just a
whatever like because you can't somebody called her a pointer dog one time yeah i can see that yeah yeah and she looks like she
doesn't have a hound yeah she doesn't look she has a hound in her well that's what happened
when we come out of russell ford there was this gaggle of redneck boys
sitting there hanging out and they went ape shit over her they loved her they're like oh oh oh what
kind of dog is that and i had a life jacket on her she'd been swimming all day she was looking so cute and they insisted that she was a blue tick
hound and i was like i don't really know they thought she was a boxer but she always before i
could even say she's obviously not a boxer she ain't no boxer you know they went crazy they just
they loved her we're going on and on about her and so finally i was like i've got to figure out
what kind of dog she is and i started googling stuff and i had done this before but never come up with anything and i even had two
house sitters one time that said that they searched the internet high and low and could
not figure out what kind of dog she was and i was like she's kind of got a head like a
boxer pit kind of thing but she's got the snout like a lab you know she's i don't know it's hard
to she's got a lot of hound tendencies And like hound tendencies and ears in a way.
This is all correct because what I have found out is she is a purebred redneck mountain
cur.
A mountain cur.
She's a fucking mountain cur, which is a dog bred only in Kentucky and Tennessee and redneck
parts of Ohio.
They've been considered official like like aca whatever registered dog since
1998 but there's been a redneck mountain cur association that has met of breeders that have
met since the 50s wow she's a fucking purebred redneck not the most popular dog in the country
i would imagine i did look this up recently like the most popular breed in america you probably
guess golden retriever it's like so vanilla i do like golden retrievers but yeah i mean i'll show
you pictures like i was like oh this is her this is 100 her she's a fucking mountain cur she and
stuff i looked up on a mountain curves was so funny you can tell the ones that have been written
by just like national animal people who are just like this is just a literal redneck dog and people who are
here who are writing about it like called it a national the mountain cur a national treasure
like a uniquely american dog yeah i've loved it but she's a mountain cur
i'm just like oh my she God. She looks exactly like that.
That's 100% her.
My uncle had one named Joe, and whenever he would leave,
everybody would always be afraid to go feed it
because Joe had some temperamental territorial problems.
And he'd put them off on his dog.
Well, you just go up there and you have to be real careful
because you don't want to let Joe know you're up there.
Because if he does even
yeah wait so what happened to jenkins days okay so anyway that's the day that i was like i have
to figure out what kind of dog she is because i just kind of been like she's just a mutt she's
just too she's got too much mixed up to know but no she's purebred redneck honey through and through
interesting love it so much um but she's and
and she could be a water dog like she's a great swimmer she has webbed paws she was a terrific
swimmer just like immediately took to the water really oh yeah she swam all the way up to pull
point from ratliff hole huh yeah that's quite a yeah yeah me and her swam the river together this
past weekend it was awesome she never cried never whined one time at home.
She whines and cries all the goddamn time.
That's because she wants that outdoor activity.
Yeah, she's got the whole fucking, I don't walk her in the yard unless I leave.
She can run the hills all day long, her and Sassy both.
They just want to whine and cry up my ass.

fumbling around his fucking wallet fumbling around with his wallet and he's like and i have a mask

And he's getting so close to me that I'm about to tell him to back the fuck up.

Why are you walking toward me so quickly?
Fumbling around with your wallet.

woody from toy story badge that looks more legit than his he said maybe you gotta take that dog

other aspect i mean i all i cared was all i wanted was a fucking funnel cake. But now, I've got something to prove
to this dumb dick.
And the kids, the future.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's the best part.
He says this,
and right after he tells me that,
I said, why?
He said, well, you know,

I said, I didn't see no sign.
And I didn't see no sign until I left.
I did see it on the way out.
Well, yeah, well, fuck you.

kim was like oh i'll just take her out i said no i ain't giving you all my money i'm going to the mexican restaurant getting a margarita and that's what i
did because they've built a whole new deck out front and they don't care to have dogs out there
they're wonderful there's a speaker piece about the jenkins cops dude you got to read that one
oh they're awful um they're so notoriously bad and have always been bad because you know i've
been researching the unite stuff and have been
you know looking over years and years of speak your pieces um and it's like amazing how even
back in the 90s and early 2000s people always hated the jenkins cops yeah they always sucked
well before tom reads this did you see recently in the paper they let that couple off that killed
that homeless guy in jenkins that was squatting in their house their empty house uh they let them off free wow not
that they were gonna get any justice served whatever but like they literally killed they
had premeditated they premeditated sat they hunted this man they knew he was coming back
because he was squatting their empty house they went to mow the fucking grass in an empty fucking
house a man was squatting they shot him like three or four times as soon as he
come through the door literally in the back he tried to run away and they just let him off jesus
that's so bad and that fucked it was on the cover of the paper like a few couple weeks ago
did you find it tom yeah that's uh
someone wanted to know about the jenkins police department we are a stopping point
for the whitesburg police department we hire them educate them and send them on to whitesburg
we should do just like pound virginia did and get rid of our police department
not a bad idea great idea is this their threat? We'll just pack up and leave.
Please.
Please.
Get the fuck out of here.
They are sore on the backs of us taxpayers.
Thank you.
Talking about Weisberg Police, sir.
No, probably Jenkins.
Jenkins cops. But maybe police in general.
I don't know.
They are.
My wife voted for Donald John Trump and still believes he got cheated out of the election.
I'm going to take her off my checking account and quit paying her car note.
I'm through with her.
She can go live in Mar-a-Lago with Trump.
I've just been waiting for all these lawyers to come on the TV saying,
if you have the COVID-19 vaccine, call me.
You'll see people running to get vaccinated then.
That was an interesting thing because I thought where they were going with that was people are going to,
this vaccine is going to be like mesothelioma or asbestos or whatever.
And so they're going to be like, but like where they were at.
Wire mesh.
Yeah, but what they were actually saying is that like that is going to be the case, but it's
going to be like people jumping in front of cars like they're going to be getting vaccinated.
Slipping jammies.
Everybody's getting vaccines.
Everybody's going to get vaccinated so they can get a class action.
Oh, my God.
Can you imagine how bizarre if there are class action lawsuits against these vaccines while
the pandemic rains on?
Everything is so fucked up and bizarre. I wouldn't rule it out at this point oh my god who the fuck knows
i had a buddy brian that did some time in uh over manchester uh for his involvement while being an
irs agent and having some dealings with russian russian mob people that check counting scheme
did two years and the pen for it
and he said that you know like you see these like sokolov and sokolov and i mean i don't know if
it's sokolov and sokolov i shouldn't say that but like those type well those type late night uh did
you take this drug between september 76 and 92 he said that a lot of those law firms are privy to FDA approvals before they are handed down.
And there's pots of money, apparently.
I don't know if this is true or not.
So let me just say this up top.
I've put an asterisk beside this claim.
We should just put that asterisk on our website or whatever.
Just like everything we say, dude.
It wouldn't matter.
It wouldn't matter.
Joke's on you, dummy.
You're listening to three fucking repubrates
out of Legend County. Well, someone said
that. They were like, you say that you just
jaw with your friends, but this causes real
harm. Okay, well, we're recording
in a moldy cabin
surrounded by cat ball pits but so eat my asshole how
about that and i have a tummy ache and terence got ibs literally down to his toenails so basically
he says that like these law firms like those like kind of like got mesothelioma or whatever are aware of
these things and are aware that the government sets aside like huge pots of money for like
because they know there will be a certain amount of deaths or like people get fucked up from and
stuff and they know that and that's why they fish for these people that like do that like it's like
like apparently the government already knows like what things by it. I don't know if this is just jailhouse talk,
but isn't Clay County like a white-collar prison mostly?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it stands to reason those people might know about that.
Anyway, just another little conspiracy I'm peddling
because apparently I'm peddling those now.
To the meth head.
Oh, my God.
The one and only. You think you're real smart by blowing up your mother's house you think you're fooling everybody but you're not i'd say uh they they're
under no illusions about who they're fooling uh the rulers in great britain are calling biden's
move in afghanistan imbecilic.
One officer there who fought in Afghanistan said Biden
should be court-martialed.
The only reason I circled that one
is because, like, can you court-martial a president?
It's like,
he is the commander-in-chief, I guess.
What does court-martialing actually mean?
Is it like serving a warrant?
What if you were not impeached
but court-martialed as the commander of the
Chief of Armed Forces? You can't handle
the truth. No, I'm going to run up to a citizen's
arrest. I'm buying it.
What if you were court-martialed and thrown in
a military prison, but you weren't impeached,
so you were still in office? You're still president, yeah.
But you're in prison, in military prison.
Quantico.
I guess they would call that a junta, I guess.
Many judge executives in eastern Kentucky have ran supreme from jail.
That's true.
And walking tall John Hall tried to this past time.
Clay County and Knott County were ran from jail for years.
Donnie Newsome.
He was signing checks in visitation.
I like how smart the Republicans are.
They're against the COVID-19 vaccine shop.
They'll go in these hollers and get a shot from their dope-head neighbors to put in their veins.
That is what you call stupidity.
Throw it in the middle.
There you go.
Okay.
They will love you all the way to the bank, but not coming back.
I want to comment on Joe Biden and the mess he has made in afghanistan
why on earth isn't that man thrown out of office he needs thrown out by the seat of his pants along
with every general around him thank you which are probably still all of trump's generals probably
i don't know but maybe to the caller who continues to attack me over his hatred of what's called wokeism.
Is this the math ad?
As for your God-given freedoms, they end where my freedoms start, pal.
You can believe anything you want as long as you keep out of my face and out of my life.
Your church doesn't run things in this country, buddy.
And the best advice I can give you is to learn to live with that.
There's not a penny's worth of difference between people like you and the damn Taliban.
Oh, my God.
I love that.
Not a penny's worth.
Oh, boy.
Last one here.
Just a little local interest.
As a TVS cable subscriber in Wattsburg, I'm beyond peeved by the cable company's continued refusal to bring us Cincinnati Reds baseball.
God damn it.
If the Mount Neagle would go through its archives, they'd find that the main reason the Whitesburg City Council granted the CATV franchise to TVS in the first place was because a TVS has pledged to carry Reds baseball in the company.
They replaced would not.
Are you kidding me?
It is beyond disgusting.
And we can't get access to our favorite baseball team on the same cable
that finds room for disgusting stations such as OAN and Newsmax.
Oh, my God.
The Whitesburg City Council needs to address this matter immediately.
I would also love to hear an answer from my comment from someone at TVS Cable.
It's called a special call meeting of Whitesburg City Council because of the Cincinnati Reds.
Are they having a good – did they just have a good season?
I doubt it.
We made the playoffs.
Did we?
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, last season.
I said I was going to follow baseball this year, and then I didn't.
I did go to a game, though.
One minor league.
Well, you guys want to switch it over to the next episode now?
I need a pee break.
All right, I need a drink, too.
All right, thanks for listening, everybody.
I don't know where this will be but
