The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Ricky Skaggs (Encore)
"Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show with your host, Eric Metaxas. Sometimes you have the privilege of having a guest on the program who really is what we call a legend. And I never would say this if he were here because I wouldn't want to embarrass him, but the person that I'm going to interview in a couple of seconds, some of you know all about him. If you don't, you will very soon. His name is Ricky Skaggs. He is a legend in the music industry. He has 15 Grammy Awards in 1982. He was the youngest member ever at that time to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. When he was six years old, the father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe, picked this six -year -old out and said, would you play for us? He went on to become a seven -year -old playing with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. There's videotape of it. In 1971, when he was still extremely young, teenager, went off to play with Ralph Stanley in his band. By about 1980, country legend Chet Atkins credited him, my guest Ricky Skaggs, with saving country music. Have you heard enough? He has played, performed, produced with Barry Gibb. Emmylou Harris in the 70s produced Dolly Parton, worked with Bruce Hornsby in the Amana Radar range. In 2021, the President of the United States gave him the National Medal of Arts. Again, I wouldn't say this if he was here in the studio, but he is a legend. And I'm very embarrassed to say I think he's right here in the studio. I never would have said this, Ricky, if I knew you were sitting here. Ricky, my new friend, welcome. It's great to be here, Eric. I was sitting there listening to you make all these nice things, and we could be talking about all kinds of other things. So anyway, I appreciate it, and you're a man of honor. I made a lot of this stuff up. I just want my audience to know this couldn't be true. So I'll have to live up to the things that you said. When you were six years old, now, you know, you're in your late 60s now. So when you were six years old, which would put us back about 1960, you played with Bill Monroe. That is very hard to comprehend. I know my dad bought me a mandolin when I was five. And so I learned, you know, why do you do that? I had been singing in church with him and mom since I was like three years old. And this is in old Kentucky. In Kentucky, and we would sing songs together at home. And then when we go to church, we'd get up and they would set me, literally set me on the pulpit, and I would sing harmony with mom and dad. They would set you on the pulpit. Yeah. See, up here, we'd say, put you up on the pulpit. But down there, they would set you on the pulpit. That sounds better. That sounds more American. But you, the reason I'm saying this is you obviously at that time already had a gift for harmonizing. You could hear and sing. And so they knew that they needed to encourage you. So your dad at age five gets you a mandolin. And already at age six, Bill Monroe is taking notice of you. Well, mom and dad and I would play at church, like I said. And then dad and I would go to this little local grocery store there in Blaine, Kentucky, and they would set me up on the pop case, you know, that had that. So it wasn't a pulpit. It was the pop case. That's the marketplace version. Right. Yeah. So I was getting I was getting my teeth ready for the marketplace back then. But I would sit and play and sing and people would want to get a Coke. So I'd have to scoot over and they, you know, it was a double door. And look, you were so cute. I saw the video of you I saw with flat and scrubs, which people can look up on YouTube. But I mean, you were so darn cute at age seven. And when he says, what's your name? You say, Ricky Skaggs. It's so cute. It's unbelievably cute. But even cuter is the song you sing. Because for a seven year old to sing a song about a broken heart and a woman who left me is funny. Yeah, I didn't understand those things back then. I just liked the song and the song was Ruby. Are you mad at your man? Ruby. Oh, Ruby. I mean, to hear you mad at your man and the 70 year old singing it while he's playing. And that's what I sung with the Bill Monroe thing. You know, it was a hit. Are you mad at your man? You know, the neighbors in the hood at this little high school for Bill Monroe was playing. And you know, they started shouting out after half hour, Mr. Monroe's set. They started shouting out, let little Ricky Skaggs get up and sing, you know. And my dad didn't plant these people, I promise you, you know. And anyway, I didn't even take a mandolin with me. So the irony of the whole thing is that I had to play this size mandolin. You had to play. I had to play his mandolin. You played Bill Monroe's mandolin when you were six years old? Six years old. And I, you know. Not many people can say that. He took the strap around and, you know, wrapped it around the curl here so that it would fit me. Right. Set it on me. And I said, you know, they said, what do you want to do? And I said, Ruby. And so it was a popular song by the Osborne brothers, Bob and Sonny Osborne. And so away we went, you know, and you know, no mistakes, no, you know, I didn't flip out, didn't faint or anything, fall on the floor, didn't drop his mandolin. Well, you were too young to be self -conscious, probably. Yeah, I didn't know what that was, you know. If you were 11, you would have just freaked out. I probably would have. But he sent me back off stage and then did his big famous Mule Skinner Blues just to rat me, show me up. No, I don't know that for sure. But I just, you know, the crazy thing about that is when I became a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, they wanted me to take out of the, they got some, some instruments in a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum called the Precious Jewels. They have Earl Scruggs' banjo. They have Maybelle Carter's famous archtop. What? They still have that? Yeah. They have Bill Monroe's F5 mandolin in the case, so they took it out for me. Do they have Mother Maybelle's tortoiseshell combs? Maybe. I'm just kidding. But I mean, who knew that? Unless you're sitting here, I wouldn't know that they would have these objects. These are like sacred relics. But they let me play that same mandolin that I played when I was six years old. He kept that mandolin all his life. He got it in 1945, found it in a barber shop in Miami, Florida. Of all places, you know, to be in Miami, Florida, walking the streets, just out walking around, and happened to look in a barber shop with thousands of barber shops in Miami, Florida. So Bill Monroe found it in 1945. And went in and bought it for $200. And used it for the 15 years until he met you. Then he lets you play it. He keeps playing it, and today it still exists. Yeah, it does. And was busted up, and still, you know, Gibson put it back together meticulously. But it's amazing. And it just brought back so many memories. It almost closed a door, or closed a season of my life, you know, to play that mandolin at six years old, and then get to play it again, going into the most famous, you know. When did they induct you into the Country Music Hall of Fame? 2018. So they waited way too long. Shame on you. No, it's almost funny to me, because it is, you know, you, listen, if in 1980, Chet Atkins, the legend, you know, credits you with saving country music from the commercialization that it was undergoing because of the urban cowboy fad and John Travolta hiss. But it's just kind of funny to me, because you've been in this world, you know, forever. The idea that you were playing with Ralph Stanley, when you were just a kid, what was it, 1971, so you're like 17, were you still in high school? I mean, you're still in high school. Yeah. Did you graduate? No, I wanted to go to the Stanley School of Music, so I wanted to stay. We started, Keith Whitley and I started when we were 16, and played the summer with Ralph, and then we had to go back to school, and, you know, Ralph wanted us to go get our education, and I thought, man, this is the education I want right here, you know. I think a lot of people understand. Folks, I'm talking, in case you're just tuning in, this is Ricky Skaggs sitting here, we will continue the conversation on all kinds of subjects, don't go away.

"Naturally. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we're a net out is sort of with this idea that we want to be a little bit in our mindset like historiographers, historiographers are historians who study how we study history. And when her choreographers do is they take stock of whose perspective is this coming from or what might be left out of this story. And sometimes it's staring us right in the face is like, you know, I'm celebrated July 4th my whole life, red, white, and blue and all the joys of that day and what it honors in our country, and I literally until a few years ago, it didn't dawn on me that July 4th 1776 was not a day when everybody became free. And so the historiographer approach is to sort of take this lens of what am I not seeing and what's right in front of me. So any time a holiday rolls around or there's a big news story where we get into an argument about painful history to put the goggles on of historiography. What is the narrative I've been served and who served it to me? Yeah, exactly. And easy thought experiment is to think about anything that's happened in your family. And if you were to go around and ask everyone who would have some knowledge of that incident, what happened, would you get the same story from your uncle from your parents from your siblings, what everybody tell the same story and almost every family the answer is no. There would be some big, variants in that story and the same is true for history. It's just another story. How do we find alternative sources? Because most of us aren't spending a ton of time steeped in history, so it seems like it would take some work to get a different point of view on a major historical event. Yeah, I think right now it's actually become much easier than it was just a few years ago. So the easiest approach I've offered to people is whatever media you like to consume or whatever content, podcasts, movies, video games, books, whatever it is, look at the last 5 to ten that you consumed and see how much similarity there is in perspective between the creators and the voices that are centered between them and between you and them. And then see if you can just make it, you know, let's use your number 10% more varied in the content you're getting in the voices that are represented. That alone will start adding different perspectives about lived experience and where that lived experience comes from historically. I mean, history doesn't have to be like textbooks and documentaries. We talk about history all the time, right? We're always referring to sort of things that came before us and our grandparents and holidays. Those are all examples of history and historical narratives. Yeah, so if I'm hearing you correctly, you're recommending something that I've recommended a lot to people is try to vary your media diet and try to expose yourself on the regular to ideas you may not like. I love that. I'm just thinking back to that moment of you standing on the Prairie and remembering, oh yeah, this land belonged to indigenous people before little house in the Prairie started cranking up their cameras and pumping out family entertainment. You did not want to see it in the moment, and that is so common. We don't want to see it. So even if we've decided okay I'm going to think like a historiographer, I'm going to start diversifying my media diet. I'm committed to seeing things clearly. There is just this resistance that's pretty deep. Have you been able to overcome that and what do you recommend for others? Yeah, well, I mean, that actually sets us up for the next tool in the books, the next chapter, which is dressing for the weather. And I do think I've made some progress myself on this, which is dressing for the weather refers to, you know, it's like when you go for an outing and you don't look at the forecast or you're surprised by some rainfall and you don't have enough layers, you don't have an umbrella or you don't have some block. And it really messes with the day. And that kind of anticipation of what's coming can be really useful here. And so dressing for the weather by that, I mean, to expect that there will be some emotions that feel like, ugh, they might feel like disbelief or anger or shame or guilt. And this is another place where I thought it reminded me of what I've been learning as a very beginner to meditation, but the piece about regulating emotions, like how a lot of what we're doing is just allowing emotions to come up, but not be owned by them, and know that they will pass, that we don't have to sort of view them as permanent in the experience we're having. And so part of dressing for the weather is thinking about where those emotions are coming from. And I talk in the book about social identity, which is distinctive for my individual identity. My individual identity is that I Dolly chug might feel defensive if somebody says I'm not a good mother or I'm not a good teacher or something like that. My social identity is more about the groups I belong to. So I might, it's not that somebody said something directly about me, but they might say, well, mothers who work are not good parents. That feels like even though they're not saying it specifically about me, it feels like it's specifically about me. And so our social identity sometimes get threatened when we are learning about a holiday like Thanksgiving and hearing that it wasn't actually quite as congenial and warm and example of solidarity as we thought we might feel threatened. That's a critique of me or it's a critique of a group by associate with in terms of my family's history, resting for the weather means just knowing that's going to come up. Like history is complicated, people are complicated, emotions are going to come up. You have a term you use belief grief, what is that? Yeah, belief grief comes from a really personal place for me of like when I would sort of learn something about my country and be like, wow, I didn't know that. I didn't know that the GI Bill was basically for white veterans black veterans. My whole life, I thought that was for all veterans. And so that bummed me out that I was so out of touch. And so that feeling afterwards of really, it just felt like grief to me of a very particular sort of really feeling the loss of something that felt true and real for me. I felt like I needed a word for it. So I called it belief grief. It's interesting because it's got two sides. You're sort of grieving that you thought America was better than that on some level. On the other hand, you're sort of grieving because you realize that you are out of touch and you believed in something without questioning it. Yes, oh my God, that's such a great point. And actually that second part of it, the one about I'm also grieving my belief that I am in touch and informed and I would have thought I would have known that. But it turns out, by the way, most Americans don't know that. And I wrote about it in my first book and I, in a lot of talks, I gave back when we did more in person talks, I would often ask for a show of hands of how many people knew it and the majority of people didn't, at least this was 2018, 2019. And that included in rooms of educators. So it says to me, this isn't about individuals knowing or not knowing something, it's about kind of our systems where we just haven't brought this knowledge forward in a way that people could easily know it. Just to reset for folks, we are on the second of 7 tools for dealing with America's painful history and the second is dressed for the weather. You've got a number of tenants, some of which we've covered. The next few we haven't yet avoid denial

"Greetings, my fellow suffering beings. The human animal does not love paradox. We love a clear, simple story. Us versus them, good versus evil, but life is rarely like that. This is especially true when it comes to wrestling with or reckoning with history. My guest today calls it the Patriots dilemma. How do you love your country while also acknowledging the painful and horrifying stuff that has happened in the past? Dolly chug is a professor at New York University's stern school of business where she teaches MBA courses in leadership and management. This is her second time on the show. The last time she came on, she taught me about a concept called good ish. One of the reasons we get defensive when people criticize us is that we feel like it's a threat to our precious notion of being a good person. At least that's true for me. But as Dolly says, if you have a good ish mindset, then there's always room to grow. Her new book, which is called a more just future, basically encourage us to do the whole good ish thing for America. In this conversation, we talked about why Dolly was scared to write this book. What the home team bias is and how it shows up when we think about our past frequently as a nation. What belief grief is, the long time ago illusion and what Dolly calls being a Gritty patriot. A few quick notes, there are some brief mentions of slavery and violence here. There's also a conversation about Barbara Walters. My former colleague, the great ABC News anchor, that conversation took place before Barbara passed away. So you'll hear us reference her as if she's still alive, which, sadly, she is not.

The next time I went to Chicago to see a play with one of was one of my guests. So I'll have to make an effort to go to Arizona. Now that it's not a 120 degrees there right now. Yeah. Well, and next summer, I mean, we're still in the process of trying to figure everything out, but next summer we might be in California. Like I might bring her because that's where my husband lives. So that's a little closer than that. Who knows? You know what I mean? Like black can happen in a year or whatever. So, but yeah, if we didn't learn that from the last two and a half years, you're never going to learn that life is very unpredictable, but that would be great. Yeah, if you guys make it to California, definitely let me know. Because I have a hybrid so I can drive from one end of the state to the other. Well, I drove for my old hometown to LA and a third of the way back before I needed gas. So I can get to wherever you are pretty easily. Oh, wow. Yeah. Oh, I'm so glad we have a hybrid right now. California's gas is insane. I know. I was just there. It was pretty crazy. Yeah, I love it how people are like, oh my God, I paid $4. It's like, I can't remember the last time I paid $4 shut up.

Thank you for sharing. That you were going to be on this morning with your Instagram followers. I'm contemplating TikTok, but I really am not a fan of making videos all the time. So I might have to get over that and just jump on over there. She does have a cow running around in a pen and all of a sudden you become viral. It's pretty insane. I mean, some of her videos have hit like 15 million views. That's crazy. I said, you know, like there's the therapy that I bring her into the memory care. There's the people that see her on the street and they're like, you just made my day. You just, and you're like, okay, that's great. You know, check it off. I made somebody's day to day, you know, whatever. And then we get that on social media as well. Like, I'll post her in a costume or I'll post her. Running around or, you know what? You know, the number one video is me washing her. People love to watch me giving her back. So it's on there. It's on TikTok. It's on our Instagram. So if you wanna see how I give her back, I mean, that one gets 15 million views. That's crazy. I know. I know. You see, I don't have anything that exciting to do videos, and my mom's gone, so it's like, that's my dog is asleep on the couch. I'm sitting here talking on the computer. That is not a very interesting video. Maybe you have to give him a bath. Well, I need to get a better camera or phone case because the dogs and I go paddleboarding. Oh, and now my husband assures me that my iPhone is good for 30 minutes underwater, but, you know, I use my phone as my web camera. I use my phone for a lot of things I really don't want to run the rigs of killing it. Yeah. Because I was playing in the water, but yeah, the dogs get a ton of attention like our community knows Luna on the paddle board. I'm not sure they know that there's a human on the battle board too, right? Right. That's kind of crazy. People are just, I don't know, we just have this connection with animals that's just, I think it's more wholesome. It was unconditional love, right? Yeah. You know, you don't care if I'm heavy, you don't care if I'm bald, you don't care if I'm, you know, whatever, right? If I'm having a bad day, you love me if I'm having a great day, you still love me. It's that absolute unconditional love. And Luna loves me more when I'm in the kitchen. She's a huge beggar. Yeah. Well, I appreciate this. This has been very interesting. I'm really looking forward to meeting you guys in person, whether I have to get to Arizona or you come to California. We'll make it happen sometime in 2023. All right, sounds good. Thanks so much.

"It was very late. We were very tired of very hungry and it was very dark and very narrow and it was trial by fire so we learned pretty well. It was kind of how you learned some things, but yeah, so they were there, the two men were there and then the us two wives flew in and then my husband and I drove up the eastern part of California to get home because he's like, well, we could go from Phoenix to LA and then drive up by 5. I'm like, no thanks, I'd rather stay home. Nothing interesting to see on I 5. There are cows. You probably heard a hair sprang pass through that. But that's not very interesting. So we're going up the eastern part of California now. I am a like at least third generation Californian. I have to ask about my great grandmother or my great great grandmother, got to ask my uncle about that one. I don't know how far back it goes because we have a lot of cognitive disease on my mom's side of the family, so there's a lot of family history that's lost. But I'm like, where in the hell is this this beautiful park of California been my whole life? I'm just like, I did not know how beautiful the eastern part of California was. It's embarrassing. Because I've only been here 55 years. But you never know. You know, like the plan is to grow Dolly star foundation. We would like to actually get a physical building where we can do because right now I take her to facilities, but I know there's a lot of people that want one on one Cal therapy or whatever. We just write at the moment, don't have a facility that we can do that. So eventually, you know, with fundraising and things like that, we want to get a facility, get some more cows. We can do. My husband lives in California. That would be another great place to have an additional Dolly star foundation. I think they'd be great everywhere, but we have to start in one spot. One step at a time. I'm 7 of them. I got visions. You'll be seeing count therapy. Everyone. Well, there is, let's see. There's one up here. I can not remember the name of it. There's in the San Francisco Bay Area. In Livermore, which we were talking about Livermore is not where her husband is. He's in a similar sounding town near Fresno, but in Livermore, is a foundation called connected horse. So it's a similar therapy, it's equine therapy, obviously. And they work with the person with the cognitive impairment and their care partner. The stories they told me when they did their podcast many, many years ago now. Was really fascinating. So it's interesting how, you know, you hear the typical, oh, you know, play the music from their teenage years or the music that they love and it brings them back. Well, my mom listened to talk radio, so I never got success with music therapy with her, but ma'am, she absolutely loved spending time with me and the dogs at the dog park. She would talk to everybody. Oh yeah. It would tell you that all her dogs were named misty, which was the last one. I thought that was very interesting. But yeah, she just absolutely loved just interacting with the dogs because she had dogs all her life, which was her story. She would tell people she's a dog's all her life, and then she would launch into this embarrassing part that when she was pregnant with me, my paternal grandmother asked her well, since you're going to have a baby, you're going to get rid of the dogs. That apparently pissed off my mom to the point that she can't remember all the way till she died. And my patron grandmother lived longer than my mom. So there were times I had to figure out how to abort that story because she would tell it to somebody in front of my grandmother. Those were awkward days. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, like, hey lady, you really upset her because do you remember this? Yeah. Advanced Alzheimer's, but she remembers this story from many, many years ago. Oh, 'cause it's a core memory for her, right? Apparently, yeah, I had to learn how when she started, I've had dogs all my life. I'd immediately start asking questions about her dogs. And that's how I learned that the first one was named misty, which was not true. The last one was named miss D and they liked that name so much they just gave all the dogs names misty. Well, that wasn't true either. But it was interesting, you know, we could talk about dogs for a few minutes and then I didn't have to hear her tell that story again. Because even two and a half years after she passed away, I'm still not ready to hear that story again. So let's see. How old is Dolly now? She's won. Oh, she's one. That's right. You told me that. I knew I knew that. It just was trying to escape my brain. So how do you do you contact the care homes? Do they ask you to come, some of both? We've gotten some major national coverage because, again, this has never been done before. We have a very we have a very big following on TikTok. We're growing our Instagram, and so I think just because people see her and they contact us or I'm like, oh, I'm going to be in that area. It would be really great if we can like, you know, if I could get three that are like, boom boom boom, right? Then I'll contact one that's in the place or whatever. You know, our plan is is that, you know, the memory care part is the part that feeds my soul and is my passion because of the situation that why I started it, right? But we get requests from children's hospitals. We get requests for schools and all tied to different other facilities. And so I'm trying to grow it again to build a second team of people that will be like, hey, you know, you're going to be our school people. You're going to be the people that go to all the elementary schools or you're going to go to the preschools or anything like that. But it is that slow growing process, right? You have to find somebody who knows how to drive a trailer. You have to find somebody who is very, very in sync with Dolly and knows all the things. And that takes a little bit of time. And so we're less than a year old. Our nonprofit will be one year old and December. And so, you know, I think we've really made some amazing movement and I just look forward to the next year and the 5 years and ten years and you'll be like, oh my God, I was her birth podcast. Yeah, that is true. And they live on forever. That's the thing that really kind of like is interesting because you know, after my mom passed away and then my grandmother and it's like, I did an episode as a tribute to my mom because she's the catalyst for the podcast, obviously. And it's like, even when I'm gone, that's still out there. I'm not even sure you can pull stuff. Unpublished that episode. But I'm not sure it would go away forever. Not that I'm ever going to do that, but you know, it's an interesting thing to think. It's like, man, something happened to me, you know, driving home from my hair play with two hours away. It's like, that stuff's there forever. It's like kind of creepy, but kind of neat too. It's like, I'm going to live on. And I always tell people, I'm going to live as long as my paternal grandmother did, so I got like 47 years to go. Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, if I do the math right, 56 and 47. Yeah, that's right. That's correct math. I could do have to make sure that I alter the math in a year. So I've been saying 47 years for a little bit. So I found you guys on Instagram. Excuse me, where else so TikTok, Instagram, where can people find out more about you and Dolly, especially if they're in the Gilbert, Arizona area, or we have a website Dolly star foundation dot com that has links for donations as well on that site. We have Instagram, which is miss MI SS Dolly Starr. We have TikTok, which is also miss Dolly star.

"It was very late. We were very tired of very hungry and it was very dark and very narrow and it was trial by fire so we learned pretty well. It was kind of how you learned some things, but yeah, so they were there, the two men were there and then the us two wives flew in and then my husband and I drove up the eastern part of California to get home because he's like, well, we could go from Phoenix to LA and then drive up by 5. I'm like, no thanks, I'd rather stay home. Nothing interesting to see on I 5. There are cows. You probably heard a hair sprang pass through that. But that's not very interesting. So we're going up the eastern part of California now. I am a like at least third generation Californian. I have to ask about my great grandmother or my great great grandmother, got to ask my uncle about that one. I don't know how far back it goes because we have a lot of cognitive disease on my mom's side of the family, so there's a lot of family history that's lost. But I'm like, where in the hell is this this beautiful park of California been my whole life? I'm just like, I did not know how beautiful the eastern part of California was. It's embarrassing. Because I've only been here 55 years. But you never know. You know, like the plan is to grow Dolly star foundation. We would like to actually get a physical building where we can do because right now I take her to facilities, but I know there's a lot of people that want one on one Cal therapy or whatever. We just write at the moment, don't have a facility that we can do that. So eventually, you know, with fundraising and things like that, we want to get a facility, get some more cows. We can do. My husband lives in California. That would be another great place to have an additional Dolly star foundation. I think they'd be great everywhere, but we have to start in one spot.

"I knew that there were, there are many cows out there, right? And so when I spoke when I finally found a breeder that, you know, was able to kind of get me something sooner than later because there's like a 5 to 7 year waiting list for these animals. Hikes. I was like, my dad's in the hot, like, my dad's there now, right? But being on the list, but I don't want to wait 5 years. So that's a long time. It is. And you know, you don't know what happens in 5 years. But you know, I knew that this was something I needed to do. So when I found this woman and she's like, you know what? Well, just find you the right animal. And I was like, the smaller the better, right? Because the plan is is that I'm taking her in. So when Dolly was born, she is, she's extra tiny. She's really, really tiny. So she's like 36 inches tall. Is that to the shoulder? Yeah, she's about 30 four. Right now, 34 grand. Okay. When I'm done hearing enough to measure how tall my golden retrievers are. They're not that tall, but I just need the visualization. Yeah. We take her, we've taken her downtown Gilbert. There's a lot of things going on over there or whatever. And there are dogs that are bigger than her. So we have dogs in my neighborhood that make my golden retrievers, like people think golden retrievers are large. Technically golden retrievers are a medium sized breed. So there's a dog in my neighborhood named boomer, I forget what breed he is. But he makes my youngest dog Remy was a rescue and he was malnourished, so it 7 months old. He weighed 35 pounds instead of like 70. So the mail that was my soul mate that was actually supposed to be a show dog weighed 85 pounds, Remy was 64. So you could kind of like so he's like weighs about 400. That's a lot. But she's much bigger and stockier. So. Yes, but you know, and then the other thing is, it's like a traditional cow, right? A traditional milking cow, like a whole steam cow. There's 15, 1500 pounds. So that just kind of gives you an idea of the smallness of what she is. So she's like 25% sized. Yeah, if I'm doing the math close, maybe a little bit bigger than 24th. Yeah. So have you ever run across any resident? Like when I took Remy to the memory care, I thought, well, let me take him over to the assisted living. And so we walked in to the activity area of the assisted living, and this one woman she had to be like, a 150 feet away from me. We were not close. And he's on a leash, obviously, and she freaked the heck out, just keep him away from me. I'm like, it's a golden retriever. Like give me a break. It's not a rottweiler, it's not like scary police dog looking dog. It's a tiny little retriever. And having grown up with dogs, I get really a bit perturbed with people that are terrified of dogs because to me it's just, it's just like wrong. I mean, I get it. They've had a bad experience, so I didn't try to force them on or anything. Yes, it makes me a little irritated because dogs bring so much joy to your life, but I am not stupid enough to try to rehab somebody. So, you know, it was, Everybody in the memory care just loved on the dog, even the ones that were kind of, there was something there were a little bit indifferent, but they still kind of enjoyed watching the other residents interact. And this woman was like practically screaming in the street. It was just quite wild. I'm assuming you probably don't get that with a cow. Well, you know, like when we walk in, like, obviously we all know that they also like, whether it's assisted living or memory care or whatever, everybody has their own issues that they have, right? So some people like animals, some people don't. You know, like, maybe you have not a fondness of a cow. You know what I mean? I don't know. So we walk in and then, you know, we kind of allow the residents, whether it's, like I said, assisting our memory, to kind of lead how we're going to have our experience, right? Some of them are like, let me take my picture, you know? And so we did the selfies and some people want to brush her and we get out the brushes. We brush and some people are like, you know what? That's fine. You can keep it right over here, right? Like some people just have a fear of stuff. So we never we never push anything or anything like that. We just, you know, whatever is where your comfort level is, is where we allow ourselves to be. I guess my suburban roots are showing because I'm thinking, in general, people probably have had less negative experiences with a cow than they would a dog. But if I guess you grew up in an agricultural town, that might not be true. Yeah, I mean, who knows? My suburban bias is flying flying free. See, this is like, I love to be curious about new things. I didn't just like as a dog lover, look at Dolly and go, are you kidding me? Why the heck would they do that? I'm like, no, that sounds really interesting. And I have not had the opportunity to pet a miniature cow. I'm assuming, I don't know if it's called fur, but is there high soft, not soft, but coarse? This morning. And I live in Arizona, right? So in Arizona, it's like a 115°. She's white. I mean, there's different color cows or whatever. But she's white. And so, you know, her fur, sheds a lot during the summer. And like, right now, even though it's only, let's see what it's only 90. Degrees here. She is shedding a little bit more. But that's because she's going to get a little bit of a thicker coat, right? So if you guys follow me on social media, you'll notice she kind of has one kind of hairstyle during the summer and then she'll have like a furry or type of hairstyle in the winter, right? But we can also click that down, you know, we can go out and give him a haircut or whatever the face you can do, but it's like for like a dog. Okay. Yeah. My the most experiences I have had with cows is riding my bike past them, and they have a tendency to move at cyclists. So we move back. So Dolly will move at anybody who doesn't pay attention to her. Oh gosh, that is hysterical and I love it because one of my old my girl golden, if you watch her, we had a group of people here a couple of weeks ago. And she literally goes from one person to another, sticks her head under their hand, keeps moving her head until they pet. And once she feels that she's gotten all she can get out of that person, she moves on to the next one. And does the same thing. And most people aren't aware because they're not watching her, but I love to watch her because it is just the funniest thing. It's like she's just like a love Ho. And so I love it that Dolly does the same thing. Probably does this in the beginning and it's been like that since the very beginning. Like we would walk her down the neighborhood, right? And if there were people that were walking in the direction, most of the time people

"Which caused the memory loss. But so my family was like, what did you do now? And I'm like, well, I started this because of my dad, but I'm sure there's other people in need. So now I go to like, that's my little passion. And I take her to memory care facilities, and I bring joy and comfort to those people that are in those residents, right? And it is so rewarding, and it's never been done before. Right? That's true. I was just having a conversation with another caregiver coach, we both have dogs named Remy, mine's golden retriever, hers is like a black lab mix. And we were like, um, this is different to cow in the memory care. I'm like, I'm really looking forward to learning more because I took two of my three dogs. I only have two at this point, but I took the oldest one with me to visit mom, and he was not having it. He literally slept under the chair, touching me. I could just sense the please get me the hell out of here, mom. I hate this place. I don't understand this place, which is kind of strange because if you know anything about golden retrievers, they love everybody. So I don't know what vibe he was getting, but he did not like it. And then I don't know what possessed me to take the youngest one who is 5 and a half currently, but he had a blast. I didn't know if I was going to get him out of there, including one woman that decided he belonged to her, and she was very unhappy that he had the pinch call. It was just like, I thought, oh my gosh, I'm never gonna get this dog home. She's gonna fight me for this doll. Well, I guess the same thing. Like people are always like, hey, can you just leave her here? Right now, the our foundation is very, very little, like I pretty much do this on my side, days, my days off at the salon. And so I try to back up my appointments. I try to do three every single time I take her out, right? So typically, the second, the third visit, she's a little tired, and she will typically just lay down. You know, like a dog will sometimes lay down, but she will just lay. And, you know, at first it was like, the first few times it happened. I was like, oh, you know, people aren't going to like that, right? Like they were walking around or whatever. Actually, they love it. They want her to stay all the time. They just literally watch her eating chewing on her cud, and they're like, this is so soothing. This is so relaxing. And I'm like, all right, there you go, right? It's something you don't ever see. And I will say going into these memory care facilities, I've learned so much, like I grew up on a dairy, and of course I have the memories I have because, you know, that's how it was, right? But you walk into these merry care facilities and a lot of these places, you know, you're 60, 70, 80, 90, even a hundred, right? There was no technology back then. So the people in those facilities have a core memory from their childhood that brings them back to agriculture. So whether it was like my grandma grew up on a farm, and when we were kids, we would spend every summer there, or my first job was at a dairy, and I milk cows or I mean, we have this woman that milk cows in Norway. That we found out at all. You know, like, so to hear these memories and their core memories, their childhood memories. Those long, long time memories. So people remember those. They may not remember what they just had for lunch. But they will remember, oh my gosh, like a cow in here, I remember seeing cows when I was a kid. Like, it is really, really rewarding. And like I said, like, I don't think anybody's ever thought about that before. I've never seen it. I have a friend who's very senior dog at this point. They do hospital visits, and she has to bathe her every time to go in. So that was where I'm like, do they have any requirements to bring Dolly in? Obviously you don't want to pasture cook on her hooves. So I, I'm bougie, right? My bougie. That's just what we do. Dolly gets a bath. Every time we go for a visit. So like she, it's a process. Glamour out. She gets all the shampoo on her. We do her hugs. We do everything. And I mean, she absolutely loves it. And of course, when you see this sparkling white cow that walks into your facility, her eyelashes naturally are like just how, right? She has the most amazing eyelashes. It's just like, this is so weird. So, you know, but fun, you know? But yes, she gets groomed. And that's why the process takes so long. You know, it takes me two hours to groomer. We got a dryer. We gotta do all the things. We got a holler over to where she is, or where we're gonna take her. We usually do an hour visit, but she absolutely loves it. So we've been training her since the day I got her. I got her when she was 28 days old. Wow. So she lived in my backyard. She is my furry daughter. That's what everybody calls her. You know, my family just knows that's just our other kid, right? Or the grand cow, whatever. But we walk her all the time, you know? Like, we train her, like, you know, because I want to make sure not only are my senior safe that we're going to visit, but I want to make sure she feels comfortable. And she's safe as well, right? So lots of training, lots of wheelchairs coming out all the time. You know, we do all of that type of stuff. Yeah. So amazing. So there was my old hometown was it still is an agricultural town. Now it's a agricultural suburb of San Francisco. It's an interesting it's an interesting personality. It's a little schizophrenic, but this is a fun place to be. And there was a gentleman that had to miniature cows and he just walked them along the sidewalk like they were dogs and he got kind of similar attention. So I'm familiar a little bit with miniature cows, obviously she's not a dairy cow, right? Give me the lowdown on the breed. So she's a beef breed. Okay. They took beef cows and they kind of like made them smaller smaller. People ask all the time, like, does she give milk? That's a little bit more on the education of the process. Cows don't give milk unless they have a baby of their own, right? So she doesn't have a baby, right? She's only one, we will not breed her. She's very, very little. So the likelihood of her having an extra tiny, tiny cow. It's you just never know. So, you know, we're not going to, we're not going to breed her. Did you spit split up? Choose her specifically because she was an extra small miniature cow, which did some, that's giving me fun bar candy sizes. It has not even lunchtime here.

"Which caused the memory loss. But so my family was like, what did you do now? And I'm like, well, I started this because of my dad, but I'm sure there's other people in need. So now I go to like, that's my little passion. And I take her to memory care facilities, and I bring joy and comfort to those people that are in those residents, right? And it is so rewarding, and it's never been done before. Right? That's true. I was just having a conversation with another caregiver coach, we both have dogs named Remy, mine's golden retriever, hers is like a black lab mix. And we were like, um, this is different to cow in the memory care. I'm like, I'm really looking forward to learning more because I took two of my three dogs. I only have two at this point, but I took the oldest one with me to visit mom, and he was not having it. He literally slept under the chair, touching me. I could just sense the please get me the hell out of here, mom. I hate this place. I don't understand this place, which is kind of strange because if you know anything about golden retrievers, they love everybody. So I don't know what vibe he was getting, but he did not like it. And then I don't know what possessed me to take the youngest one who is 5 and a half currently, but he had a blast. I didn't know if I was going to get him out of there, including one woman that decided he belonged to her, and she was very unhappy that he had the pinch call. It was just like, I thought, oh my gosh, I'm never gonna get this dog home. She's gonna fight me for this doll. Well, I guess the same thing. Like people are always like, hey, can you just leave her here? Right now, the our foundation is very, very little, like I pretty much do this on my side, days, my days off at the salon. And so I try to back up my appointments. I try to do three every single time I take her out, right? So typically, the second, the third visit, she's a little tired, and she will typically just lay down. You know, like a dog will sometimes lay down, but she will just lay. And, you know, at first it was like, the first few times it happened. I was like, oh, you know, people aren't going to like that, right? Like they were walking around or whatever. Actually, they love it. They want her to stay all the time. They just literally watch her eating chewing on her cud, and they're like, this is so soothing. This is so relaxing. And I'm like, all right, there you go, right? It's something you don't ever see. And I will say going into these memory care facilities, I've learned so much, like I grew up on a dairy, and of course I have the memories I have because, you know, that's how it was, right? But you walk into these merry care facilities and a lot of these places, you know, you're 60, 70, 80, 90, even a hundred, right? There was no technology back then. So the people in those facilities have a core memory from their childhood that brings them back to agriculture.

"Caregivers, you've heard me talk a lot about pharmacy products over the past year, but today I want to highlight two products I know you'll want sooner or later. Bathing cloths and no rinse, shampoo and body wash might be the solution to shower adverse loved ones. Did you know that the water hitting their skin actually can be quite painful? And the lack of contrast can make a shower stall feel confusing and then water hits you, I hope that inside helps you understand why showering can become an issue for many of our loved ones.

because of Beijing's refusal to allow access to financial audits the U.S. and China have been at odds over the disclosure policy for years and the SEC is cracking down on firms that just don't comply And finally Dolly Parton says she is honored and humbled to accept her induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame The country music star initially did resist the honor saying she hadn't earned the right But she has said on social media she'll now accept the accolade gracefully Eminem Lionel Richie and Duran Duran have also been voted in Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries and Leon guerin's this is Bloomberg Caroline Is The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame an actual hall Does anybody know A physical hall I don't think it is a museum Sorry I know the answer to this But all I just want to say is she's my idol Dolly Parton and Tom Mack and I actually go to a boxing class together on a Friday and the guy sometimes plays country music and I've requested Dolly Parton to be revelations about our exercise habits good stuff We're gonna get a rendition from Leanne on jolene jolene maybe One of my favorite songs actually No but I think you know Dolly Parton is just such a legend and it is absolutely amazing that she has been considered she's had a bit of a revival She was at Glastonbury not that long ago Well maybe four years ago but she's back on the scene And the Hollywood I don't know if this is a Hall of Fame or its physical maybe our next guest knows who knows Okay let's get back to the central banks now And the focus today is on the Bank of England but of course we're still digesting the decision by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 50 basis points That was the first hike of that size for since the year 2000 Interestingly Jay Powell the fed chair Jerome Powell pushed back on the idea that 75 basis points is on the table at least for now All of this of course whilst the spectrum and the specter of slowing growth in China continues and certainly that was also mentioned by the FOMC yesterday That's as travel and spending plummeted over the national Labor Day holiday as those COVID zero restrictions continue in the world's second largest economy Joining us now is Mark Matthews managing a director head of research Asia Julius bear in Singapore Mark let me start with the fed's decision Was this a dovish hike from J pound the FOMC Tom if I may just say that Dolly Parton is my idol too By the way she's a very very wealthy lady I think she's worth half a $1 billion because she makes at least because she makes royalties on her songs The songs that she wrote Anyway Mark I love that you've I love that you've weighed in I love that you've weighed in on that and given us giving us a valuation on her wealth That's fantastic Carry on with the fed I'm not fitting I really do love her Yeah they did a great job at pitching it as a dovish hike and that's because of all the communication they've been doing over the last three months that did a lot of the work for them already And the market So I think investors are now thinking that maybe the bond market even got a little ahead of ahead of itself And I think in the context of inflation the market likes the fact that some of this huge cash infusion that the fed put in the economy is being taken away because the economy is hot And we're starting to see an effect mortgage rates as I'm sure you know 3% higher than where they were at the beginning of this year That's the fastest increase in decades And so the average mortgage payment is up about 40% Just as the last week of April compared to the last week of April last year and I was interested that real per dot com most visited real estate website in America showing that house prices are falling in places like Los Angeles Chicago Detroit Anyway I don't want to ramble on but I think that it's been portrayed positively because it helps to slow a hot economy down Okay But I suppose the question is around whether the soft landing can be achieved Speaking of which Chinese stocks reopen after a three day hiatus I mean we see some rises now but there's real concern about China sticking to COVID zero policies and that having a huge impact on supply chains economic weakness and what that means then the knock on effect for central banks again I agree And all I can see is we are entirely at the whim of the government and I remember prior to the fall of the Soviet Union there was a field of study called kremlinology and these professors who were reportedly experts on the Kremlin would spend hours looking at photographs who was standing next to who And we found out they didn't know at all what was going on in the Kremlin So it's the same in China Nobody knows really what the government is thinking I would say though that there are about a half dozen really big ports And Shanghai is the biggest and it handles about twice as much TEU as the second biggest But the other ones combined are still operating And so as much as Shanghai is bad the other ones I want to say are more than enough to compensate in my opinion as far as the supply chains go Where does this leave you then The tightening of those economic conditions the financial conditions you highlighted that with your nod to mortgage rates and slowing house prices in the U.S. What's happening in China they are kind of the decision making there How are you thinking about the quarters ahead and your advice to investors around positioning.
What a Weird Week
"dolly" Discussed on What a Weird Week
"Hall of Fame. I don't know what would happen if all the votes go to Dolly and not exactly sure. I mean, people have won and not showed up before, but Dolly's two classy for that. We'll have to wait and see. See what goes on with this. 9. Number 9 is the Russian news protester. Everyone had this story earlier this week. The reporter named Marina, Marina, who held up an anti war sign during the news program on Russian TV, everybody was worried about her. She disappeared for a little while. She was interrogated for 14 hours. She received a fine, a little bit under $300. She's resigned from her job, will there be more repercussions? That's what everyone is afraid of. World leaders have issued statements about how brave she was to do this. France offered her asylum, but I'm gonna go with Marina pronunciation. I've heard it both ways. Marina has turned them down the offer of asylum. So this one is to be continued. Here's the fold message translation, the sign she was holding up said, no war, stop the war, don't believe the propaganda, they are lying to you here. 8. All right, number 8 is the no more changing the clocks in the fall and in the spring this week in the U.S., they voted to keep clocks where they are. Permanent daylight saving. It's not a 100% yet. Listen, I'm a Canadian fellow, so I don't understand the entire process, but I do remember the I'm just a Bill song. I'm just a bill. Yes, I'm only a bill and I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill. It still has to go to the house and then it would still have to be signed by the president and then now Bill you're alone. No one thought this would be a unanimous vote in the Senate, and that happened. So it might be the changing the clocks will be going away. This would start in 2023. However, after that news broke and people were like, wow, we really can get along. In politicians, both sides, we really can get along sometimes. It turns out it was kind of a mistake. People who wanted to, I mean, again, Canadian guy talking about American politics, but my understanding is it can get past as long as no one objects. Unanimous vote. And people didn't know what was happening. People who would have objected and nobody objected, but that was sort of an accident, and now we'll see what happens. It has to go to the house. We'll see where it goes from here. If the U.S. does it, will we do it here in Canada? Seems like it would make sense. Another wait and see, we've got a lot of weight in seas this week. 7. Number 7 is the Starbucks cup plan. This one's a lofty goal, I think, but it also seems like, you know, it's not a spur of the moment thing. This would not have arrived to this decision without a lot of thought. Better for the environment, Starbucks wants to partially phase out disposable coffee cups and switch to a bring your own cup model or returnable cups, I hardly ever make it to Starbucks. I drive by about 7 Tim Hortons. It would be like, I would see honestly about 70 Morton's on my way to driving to the Starbucks. So I don't know the Starbucks culture too much. Is this something that would catch on? The goal is by 2025 that this would happen, not a total ban on disposable cups, but they want to make disposable cups unless attractive. The option of taking the disposable cup being less attractive, I think means probably costs more or something, do you think? Anyway, another wait and see. Oh my gosh, you guys, this is a record amount of weight and sees this week. 6. Number 6 is that dancing study that says it's good for manliness. That was kind of the headline I saw all over, maybe you caught this in one of your favorite news programs. The headline about dancing in manliness, the story started making the rounds this past week. I'm like, why are they studying manliness? We're studying whether dancing is just for girls. That's the headline made it seem that way, right? That's not really what's going on. The research shows that when boys dance as youngsters, they grow up to be more confident and have qualities that are helpful as an adult. Basically, I'm summarizing somehow the headline got turned into more like you could still be a manly man and dance. It was more about it's like sports and other activities that kids do, it can be good for kids to do these activities. They just, you know, they're including dancing in there and they kind of focused in on the dancing. I don't know if I ever mentioned it before I won a dance contest with my sister one time. Did I ever mention that on this podcast? Did you notice how confident I am? What a confident man I have become just saying, yes to dance. 5. Number 5 is the Kmart sign. Somebody put a giant Kmart sign on a guy's front lawn in North Dakota pastor Paul knight. Doesn't know what the deal is. He thinks maybe someone from the church did this as a joke. And he's hoping someone will take away the giant K his wife is also concerned about getting that giant K sign gone from the front lawn. It has attracted some attention, some selfie takers. We put a photo in the show notes again, the website easy to remember, you can find everything. If you go to show notes page. Four. I feel like maybe I jumped the gun with four. It's a four button a little loose guys. Four. Four. There we go. All right, I feel like we got at that time. Do you know what number we're on you guys? Yeah, that's four. Right, number four. Don't use emojis and work emails according to a study. It makes you seem weak or gives the impression you have less authority, even if you're powerful and your company, using pictures or emojis will basically cause you to lose the respect of others, then you'll have to be twice as much of an a hole to get people to respect you. And you don't want that. I've never been a boss. I don't know, but I assume that at some point you're like, all right, today's the day, I got to start being an a hole. And you don't want to have to be twice the a hole. You really have to be. Right? Bossing. Three. Number three is the gross sounding ice cream flavors that are still a thing. This actually came out a little more than a week ago, still gaining some steam last week, so we put it in this countdown. Walmart in the USA is carrying Kraft Mac and cheese flavor ice cream. Last year, this ice cream company put the flavor out and it sold out in an hour. Mac and cheese flavored ice cream. Same company also has an exclusive to Walmart pizza ice cream flavor. Gross or great, not sure, think and gross, but not sure. Sold out last year. Two. Savory ice cream. I just not sure you guys. Did I mention already? I'm not sure. Okay, my uncertainty is established that. Okay. Number two is the Mary janes soda. You know the Jones soda company. The kind of publicity they invented the turkey and gravy soda and they have some normal kind of sodas like root beer in that, but they also have the weird every year it seemed for a while they were like this holiday season, whatever and it was usually something disgusting that you would buy as a joke and everybody would try to drink it. Well, they are getting into Jones soda companies getting into a branch. The name is Mary Jones soda. And it's cannabis. Soda, where cannabis is legal, they are going to start with the cannabis infused drinks and other things gummies in that, but here's the quote, the sodas will debut in a company's four most popular flavors, root beer, berry lemonade, green apple, and orange cream, ten milligrams of cannabis. That's for the 12 ounce bottle, and different sizes and all that. So this is the thing for me, this is a bit wild that it's going to be here where we are. The east coast of Canada, you can get cannabis drinks tonight. You can buy its legal marijuana stuff. But it's usually like some weird flavor. It's not like delicious orange or root beer. You have to be really careful with that stuff. Somebody comes home after her hard day and they just want a nice, just have a root beer or something. I'm gonna have this and I have this orange cream. Does anybody care if I have the last orange cream? And maybe you think you're getting just a nice normal pop. And you're not. At some point, you will realize, uh oh, that wasn't Jones soda that was Mary Jones. Interesting. But the company's very excited. They think this could be a big thing. One. Okay, number one is the giant potato oh, we gotta go back to a previous episode of this podcast. If you're new to the podcast, first of all, thank you for subscribing. In the archives, we always put a link to the archives if you click the show notes. So all of that, all you gotta remember is show notes that page, boom, podcast stuff, links to stuff. But we had a story earlier the couple who found this guy was hoeing in the yard. He and his wife found a giant potato. They didn't know at first what it was. And they dug it up, he was like, I think this is a potato. There's only one way to find out this mysterious thing I just dug up. I'll take a bite, and he did, and he confirmed through taste testing. It was, in fact, a potato. And then it was so big, they got curious and they looked up and wow, we have a world record potato on our hands. They contacted the Guinness Book of World Records. Wonderful story if you could stop there. But it turns to heartbreak. The potato was actually poisonous, wasn't a wasn't edible, and now that man is, no, I'm just kidding. But the giant potato that we talked about in a previous episode did not break the world record. The Guinness Book people say it is not a potato. Here's the part of the letter they wrote back to Colin. He's the one he was the fellow taste of the I'm just gonna taste it. Honey, I'm just gonna taste it. Then below for sure if it's a potato. Dear Colin, sadly, the specimen is not a potato and is in fact the tuber of a type of gourd. For this reason, we do unfortunately have to disqualify the.

Real Estate Rookie
Is It Possible to Make a Profit With Campground Investing
"Had their welcome to the show. Thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you. I appreciate you. Having me to get started. Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started in real estate investing absolutely so ten years ago i was driving across the country in a camper from florida. California saying in all these different campgrounds house like hey it's just renting parking spots. It's not just writing parking spots. However i started google searching campgrounds for sale campgrounds in my area trying to figure out. Hey is this something i could do. And i found one that was in bankruptcy. I called the bank long story short and bought a campground before. I got california so by the time i was leaving. California to head back to tennessee. I'd bought property. I'd never seen in. I knew nothing about real estate or investing at all ten years later owned about three hundred units and have rv parks mobile home parks and section. Eight multifamily okay. That is insane so you didn't have any real estate background at all and you just jump for it and buyer campground. Yes they might be mildly. Impulsive okay. i want to start with that. So how did you even analyze the deal. How did you find it. What did that look like before we answer that question. I guess had you had any real estate investing experience before that i was at the very first for rain real estate. Investing you'd ever done literally there. I didn't even know an rv. Park was real estate or didn't know what the word analyzed meant. It just seemed like a good idea. Okay so yeah. It's tell us from the beginning. So you decide you want to do this. How did you find the power. Cobb did you finance it. What did that. I deal look like yet so i started google searching. Rv parks for sale campgrounds for sale in my area and i found this property that was next to dollywood which is our version at disneyworld. Only we have dolly parton instead of mickey mouse in tennessee which was an hour from where i lived in our tourist towns. I thought how could it go wrong. I mean how could something next to the number one attraction in the area not dwell call the bank and they want three point two million dollars in they. They're like how much money do you have. A twenty six years old Have any money. This was a different time in the market it was after the market had collapsed so it was two thousand eleven so they still had banks that still had properties on their books. Were willing to get rid of them. In a different way than you can buy properties now. So they gave me a non recourse loan in for anybody. That doesn't know what that means would be similar if you bought a house and you didn't pay your mortgage in the bank was going to take that back you file bankruptcy or whatever the repercussions were non-recourse. Means you're going to have any of those repercussions and no money down which you don't hear of now. It was nothing but a huge blessing. And in sam's els book who's one of the largest owners of in the mobile home park in rb park space. He talks about his first deal and he says i was successful. Because i didn't know i shouldn't have

"dolly" Discussed on Nightly Pop
"Do you have a push gift in mind. No no the gift is the beautiful child. Okay i agree. I'm gonna get her a gift though you got to okay. I understand that now. I like to fight for men getting pushed gifts to right. Because you know what we push the baby in. Oh okay that's why would love you to continue on that point. Call me crazy. Yeah i think the pushing out part is less fun than the pushing in part. Now i think about why is. I'm glad that we stayed correct. It is and let me tell you something pushing. It's like you used to throw that ball coming out of a part of you ju- imagine use with throw it. Just going to correct morgan on that. You've realized that i'm actually a wide receiver. Now i know that she was baseball or basketball football by no it was. I was football and i know wide receivers. Don't throw hold the ball. When they posed for a photo sometimes which going back to me pushing out six pounds as being difficult. It's definitely not an easy feat and men should not be getting gifts for anything that they've done god. There's some things that we've done that deserve e were helpful and you get to have a child after and you get to be supportive but like the gift of actually pushing out a baby i think should be reserved for what was your puskas. I got a canary demand for it with her. Yeah i got a yellow dye was yellow because her room is yellow. And i like yellow and it was a big teardrop. You would love it by that. Was it united's big giants blue. Oh i was only going to give. It was on present within the. That's very very expensive. I know how much we you're not worth of ten years ago. It was twenty two to one thousand four hundred. I got it in france so it was like cheaper. You got a big size twenty two still paying on it. So let's talk. Okay all right.

"In a Playboy Bunny outfit for her husband's Um, so she presented her husband, Carl, who we never see with a memorial. I'm sorry, not a memorial birthday present a memorable birthday present by recreating the iconic 1978 Playboy cover picture that she was a part of it The time she did an original photo shoot in. 78 became the first country singer to pose for the magazine. So she didn't show too much because it wasn't about Nudity. It was really about promoting her brand, and so I think we have a little audio of her talking about it on instagram. Today is July. 20 is my husband Carl's birthday and you're probably wondering why I'm dressed like this one is for my husband's birthday. Remember sometime back I said I was going to pose on the Playboy magazine 75. Well, I'm 75. They don't have a magazine anymore. My husband always loved the original cover. Fire. Oy. So I was trying to think of something to do to make him happy. He still thinks I'm hot chick every 37 years and I'm not gonna try to talk him out of that. And I hope he agreed. What do you think, anyway? What I did for his birthday? I did a little photo shoot in just all outfit, and, uh, I had a cover made. Of the new Dolly, the old new darling, and in the first one say, Remember this. I was kind of a little butter ball in that one about extreme cheese. Now he'll probably think I'm cream cheese. I hope

How Libraries Can Help You Learn, Connect and Grow With Rebecca Stoltz
"I am excited today. Because you've got a guest on. This is a guess as a little out of the box. From who've you brought on before. And i'm really excited that rebecca salsas here and What what are you guys talking about today. yes so. I'm really excited. That rebecca was able to join us today. Rebecca is the executive director of the josephine county Library foundation and is really an integral part. The library there in just being county. Where grants pass. Where i live is located. And i just wanted to spend some time talking with rebecca about the value that libraries bring to our community and to our lives and so rebecca. Thank you so much for being here. Absolutely thank you for having me ma. It's our pleasure our pleasure so We tell us just a little bit about how long you've been working with the library and What your position entails right now so i have been through. Many different transitions At our library. And i've been working about eight years back. When the library was a nonprofit i was doing the fundraising and now i've transitioned over to the library foundation and i'm not the executive director and my job is to help raise funds to support special programs and things that are outside of the library. District's budget very nice. Very nice and and i know there's a long history there with what happened in josephine county with the library system Do you want to just give a brief overview of that of what happened to it. Seems like almost twenty years ago now with libraries being defended and then what what happened in the community after that absolutely so in two thousand and eight the libraries were closed and e funded and the community really rallied. They wanted to have a library in their communities so it was a grassroots efforts and they raced funds and was able to st- originally started out of you know checking out. Books are lending out books in their vehicles in a parking lot and then they were able to raise enough money to open up. The libraries and tons of work was involved with that and our library system. Which has four branches. One in grants pass one in williams one out in the ohio valley and one out of wolf creek operated as a nonprofit for ten years so phenomenal work. I'm and it was really exciting to see a community so passionate and really finding the value of libraries in a community because there there weren't a whole lot of libraries being run as nonprofits at that time. We're there no. Our library system is kind of like a unicorn very unique. We had over three hundred volunteers at one time. Doing all of that work which is just amazing. And even within it becoming a nonprofit. There were still three over three hundred volunteers that were checking in books. Checking out books doing all of that work. In fact we have about two hundred fifty volunteers. That still are doing that. Work today. so wonderful i my. My sister has has volunteered to the library. Here for years before covid. Kind of shut down the the day to day operations of checking in and out books but What what. I wanted to kind of touch on i. I remember this is this is my embarrassing story is probably sixteen. Seventeen years ago. I was much younger and definitely not as wise and i was standing in line at a community event here in jackson county and we were at the library and i had made an offhand comment about. Why do people need libraries anymore. and what. i didn't realize. I was standing right behind. One of the board members for the jackson county library and she took me to task for about five minutes explaining the value of libraries to the community. So i would love for you to just take a minute And i'm gonna humbly ask why our library still relevant today. It's a great question and we hear it quite often. Actually you know not. Everyone has the same resources in today's world and libraries are the technology access points for so many people and we see that even more now that we've endured through a pandemic and libraries as a whole. There's just so much more than book. Repositories the cultural and community centers. And our library here in grants pass even attracts more foot traffic then the local post office so when you think about all those long lines in the post office and how busy it always. Is your library here. Josephine community library is is busier than that. And really we service as venues for community meetings host workshops from anything of you wanna learn about coating to changing a tire and i could also take a task for a long time about the importance of libraries. But just a couple numbers to run by. You is each month. More than twenty. Two thousand items are checked out. And they're in homes within our community and in a county where at least a third of our residents don't have computer or internet access at home patrons lock more than fifteen thousand computer sessions in a year and have nearly forty three thousand personal devices. Connect to the library's wifi so it is a library is so much more than just books in building. It's really an important piece of the community where people can connect and grow. I just can't agree more promptly. What got me back into. The library was have having a daughter. She's six now. You know taking her back to the library to have those experiences in the children's roman being able to kind of just see the books touch the books and kind of just have that that feel of what a library feels like is just phenomenal. I know you. There's just so many Children's programs happening at the library is as well absolutely and we have families with kids of all ages coming to participate. Whether it's our summer reading program we have sensory story times the dolly parton imagination library program or registering kits through josephine county to receive free books.
