#100 Lord, I Thought You Hung the Moon

It's always fun when my wife laughs at me when I'm doing home chores and then just start laughing at some podcasts that I'm listening to like a maniac and she's like what's so funny? When you really get into podcasts, like I hope some of our listeners do with ours, you start picking up on the inside jokes and the callbacks and some of the things that you get used to, and then you use, you are laughing and then you can't explain it why it's so funny based on, like, some sort of past thing that was said or the 20-minute conversation that ends with an extra joke and then, well, I think some crazier than she already does.

Speaker 1: 1:09

Yeah, it's kind of like becoming a part of the cabin cast family. My family has Seinfeld and other movies that we quote to each other all the time. So, we feel kind of sorry for anybody new to the family that doesn't know like a friend's over and they can't really follow along with what we're saying. So it's probably the same for you know, cabin cast listeners drop a line and their spouse is like what are you talking about?

Speaker 2: 1:33

Yeah, there's one thing we wanted to give a really quick shout out to. When we used to have a store down in Madison, we used to go to the Lake Holman cabin show all the time with our store and just due to staffing things and how far away, it's been a little more challenging. We've even done the one in Minneapolis and they've recently changed their name to the Up North Expo. It's this. Probably a lot of our listeners in the Minnesota and Madison and even Northern Illinois areas have gone to these Lake Holman cabin shows, but they're coming back up again. Unfortunately we're not going to be able to make it, but we're hoping to next year and they changed the name to the Up North Expo.

Speaker 2: 2:09

What's your Up North? Up North, the aroma of balsam for the taste of a Friday fish fry, the sounds of a crackling bonfire and a loon's call echoing across the lake so many reasons we Midwesterners escape to Up North with family and friends. Whether we make the trek up the highway to a lake home or rent a cozy cabin in a birch grove or a camp under the stars, we seek the same thing a chance to unplug from the weekly grind. Join them in March for all the new Up North Expo in either Minneapolis or Madison, or both, to celebrate this unique lifestyle. Connect with companies who embrace the Northwoods vibe with quality products or services. Mingle with a crowd who is as passionate about their weekends Up North as you are.

Speaker 2: 2:49

So the Minneapolis Minnesota show is March 1st through the 3rd and the Madison show is March 15th through the 17th, and I actually think my sister and brother-in-law will be there with their company Hutchin Hyde, which is this amazing little gift shop in Nuglaris, wisconsin. If our listeners have been there and they're gonna be there showcasing their reclaimed barnwood cabinets that we manufactured, they sell them. They're awesome. So stop by the Hutchin Hyde booth at the Madison Up North Expo as well.

Speaker 1: 3:18

Yeah, that would be great and it would be so much fun if we can make it next year and actually meet face to face some of the people that maybe don't make it into the Minakwa area and into our shops, and I'd love to go to and just learn. I think we could learn a lot of things from the other people that are there.

Speaker 2: 3:34

So yeah, great ways to connect. Yeah, they're great shows, so it's a lot about vacations, camping cabins, gear. They always have good food there and it's been a great experience before, and I love the new name. It's got kind of a cool loon and tree logo. So good luck to everyone there and hope our listeners can stop by.

Speaker 1: 3:51

Yeah, that would be great. You know, I was thinking about something when we first started talking and we were saying that you know, listening to the cabin cast gives you some inside scoop. And I started laughing to myself and thinking about a new friend that I have that just moved up from Illinois. It was kind of their dream, as I entered retirement, to move up north. She started listening to the cabin cast and then she recommended it to her husband and he travels a lot so he's been, he's like, way ahead of her in listening.

Speaker 2: 4:23

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 4:24

So he'll come home and tell her things about me and she's like wait, she's my friend and you know these things and I don't even know them yet. So it's kind of a neat story and I love that too, that they're both listening and then they can talk about it and share things with us so it's really fun.

Speaker 2: 4:44

She's being pretty gracious. It's not like the watching a TV show together. Podcasts are such a personal thing. You can listen in the car when you're together, but I listen to them mostly when I'm. You know everyone's asleep, I'm doing the dishes or cleaning something at the house or driving along, drive by myself and but it is funny that he's like ahead in episodes and she's got to catch up and he's yeah, that's awesome. No spoilers Right. Save the spoilers.

Speaker 1: 5:09

Well, she said he reached out. She reached out to me when we started recording again after the holidays, because he said wait, what happened? There's not another episode. And she said I don't know, I'll find out. So she texted me and I said oh, we're back in the studio. Yeah, so that's how fast he went through them too.

Speaker 2: 5:27

Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1: 5:28

But it made me also think that there are a lot of new listeners and we have almost a hundred. Yep by the time this one airs maybe a hundred episodes for people to go back re-listen to. I mean, even as we talk, eric, we're like I think we shared that Like we need to go back and listen to, right.

Speaker 2: 5:46

Right and follow up things like articles that we've read, that we've shared in the past, and then it's a new update. But sometimes they just regurgitate articles, so the you have to go back, read the article to see, and then the updates like, yeah, everything's still the same.

Speaker 1: 6:00

Or we can't find the update, like what, what? What ended up happening? Yeah, so it made me think that there's some older episodes that would be great for people to pull up and listen. And I was actually reading this little book of poetry and essays from an author that we interviewed way back when we started. It's episode number 30. So this was back when we even had to do so many things over the phone because quarantine was just opening up. So it's one of those first phone interviews, so the sound is not as clear, but the stories in that episode, the inspiration that Kyle White that we talked to shares in that episode, it is really one worth listening to. I remember it as a favorite because of just how inspired I felt after I listened to it. It was called can't fire smoke in your beard, episode 30. And this little book I was reading of his is Winter, is Scissors.

Speaker 2: 7:02

Winter is Scissors.

Speaker 1: 7:03

So what do you think that means?

Speaker 2: 7:05

I don't know.

Speaker 1: 7:06

So it's 31 small daily readings for winter, and this is his little intro that explains the title, the forward. In winter, people say things like the cold cuts right through ya, or that wind cuts to the bone. These 31 small daily readings are an exercise in extending the metaphor that winter cuts. Winter is scissors.

Speaker 2: 7:27

Okay.

Speaker 1: 7:28

I was really enjoying reading these and thought they could bring up some conversation for us. I marked some pages for us to-.

Speaker 2: 7:38

Yeah, while you're finding that, I love that metaphor Right, you know, when, like right now, we have this weird weather where it's kind of cold but it's sort of warm.

Speaker 2: 7:47

It's the strange winter that we're having and probably not as cutting as usual, but it has me messing up my winter clothing way too often because even during the day I'll throw on like a hooded sweatshirt and go outside and then night hits and I realize I never grabbed my jacket, which in a normal winter I would never forget a jacket.

Speaker 2: 8:07

You'd at least throw it in your truck to make sure when it got to nighttime. But you just it's not quite in your mind of how, when you walk out and that cold kind of zings you pretty good, and then you find out really quick when the wind does pick up and it reminds you that like yeah, winter's cold and it's blowing through, they're like, oh, this is a, some of the weaves on your clothing will stop the wind better and some of it just blows right through. You might as well be wearing a t-shirt. So it's like I've had a couple of days here where I've totally made complete, like I dropped the kids off at school and I was just wearing like a button up and it was not a warm one, so I was freezing when I was getting the kids. And then, you know, other times you have a jacket in the car, you can throw it on, even just a vest, but that totally makes sense.

Speaker 1: 8:46

You are so right, and one of the things I love about living where we do is the change of seasons, because it's the change of closets too, and I have so many coats, hats, boots, sweaters, you know, all that winter wardrobe that I love to wear and right now, yeah, I can be comfortable and all that. But you do start thinking, oh, I don't need to throw that on and I want to still enjoy all my winter clothes and this kind of fits, this reading that you brought up about enjoying the winter On winter days like this, when you thought it was over, but the forecast calls for more of it, or maybe some things you thought were going to come around or nowhere on the radar. Here is what I recommend Step out into it and feel the weight of it. Go for a walk in the cold, cut a new path and all that snow that is coming or not coming.

Speaker 1: 9:37

Then do something bigger than you Read, something powerful, make something with your hands, write something, pray out loud Love your neighbor, god, yes, love your neighbor. You could even make a list of vague prescriptions and pronouncements advising others what to do. Anything but wishing out the window which just lets in the cold. I loved this, because how many times do we sit there in a typical winter, when do you have bitter cold and long lasting snow on the ground and we do start wishing out the window that it wasn't cold and winter anymore? And he's like no, embrace it, yeah, do something big. That's what I love. It's not even just like, oh, just go for a walk. It's like use it, let's do it oh for sure I like.

Speaker 2: 10:22

It's so mindset that ready this for it reminds me of a time in college. We had a college house that was so far away from downtown whitewater UW whitewater that you'd have to walk. It feels like 10 blocks in my mind, but maybe it wasn't that far. It was quite a while of a walk to get back and of course you don't want to drive when you've been out with your buddies all night. So we would have these really long walks back, which were really awesome in the the fall and spring, but when you go out in the winter it was a really cold walk because you wouldn't want to bring your jackets out.

Speaker 2: 10:52

That was when a lot of the bars still allowed smoking in the bar, so you wouldn't want to ruin your entire winter outfit and smell, like you know, cigarettes at the time. So I remember one distinct walk where we're walking back and the wind was just whipping through and we're all wearing just way underdressed for that and I'm like just pretend it's summer and you're standing in front of the air conditioner and how like it's so nice when it's cold, when you feel like it's too hot, and try and switch your mind. And my roommates are probably like this is not working and like just switch your mindset. It's all up in your head. If you want it to be cold in the summer, pretend it's a summer and you're in front of an air conditioner.

Speaker 1: 11:29

And they still give me crap about that sometimes like it's just in your head yeah yeah, I do think about that sometimes, like I can get through this, it's just just think warm thoughts.

Speaker 2: 11:38

Yeah right, you ever tell your kids that, oh yeah, just think warm thoughts yeah, we've been starting to tell my kids we do hard things because they, you know if it's tying a shoelace or this is hard. I don't want to pick up my little five-year-old, I don't want to pick up all the Legos, it's too hard. Well, we do hard things in this family, that's right.

Speaker 1: 11:54

Pick up those Legos. Yeah, okay, now this one.

Speaker 1: 11:58

I'm gonna want your feedback okay because it's a debate oh and I want to know what you think the great debate over how to make the best campfire, tp or log cabin. The answer is log cabin and a debate. Get out your hatchet and split some logs about the forearms length. Layer them three or four high like a log cabin. Crisscross in the space in between loosely packed twigs, newspaper bark and other kindling. Birch bark from downed trees will burn, even if wet. I learned that this fall. Next, light the center with a match. Do this in the winter, in the snow. Then pull up an Adirondack chair and be present in the pine. Smoke and the winter breath in the foreground, heat and the background, cold in the light and in the dark, all crisscrossed.

Speaker 2: 13:42

Be at home and the lilting embers all around you yeah, I think that he's probably right that it's an easier fire to make if you have the right material. Sometimes the TP is easier if you're limited on the amount of sticks and kindling because you you have to get, get it hot enough to catch the big logs. Where a cabin it sounds like, okay, you got plenty of things to fill the center. But if you have big logs on the outside you need a lot of fill for the center. So a TP is easier to start a small fire and build it into a bigger fire and kind of work your way up. But a log cabin if you have everything laid out perfect, I think, is a great way to do it yeah, and I can't fire versus a in the fireplace fire yeah when you have less space, you can use the log cabin.

Speaker 1: 14:26

So I think that's an interesting debate. I'd love to know what other people were thinking on. Is it a TP or log cabin that works best? And I mean, it's probably a debate you have often with your friends. Yeah, well, we talk, yeah I think sometimes the guys.

Speaker 2: 14:38

It's funny it's like whoever gets the fire going and then if they start struggling then it's like the other dads are thrown in their opinion and and trying to help out. But the my boys are getting to the age where I'm starting to teach them how to light a proper campfire and just getting a. Usually I think I'm more of. I've done a TP more often, but I've. I think a log cabin is great way to do it too.

Speaker 1: 15:00

I have to say that I can light a fire, but I may light one like once a year yeah it's one of those sweet ways that I feel loved at my house is that Brian always gets the fire going, or if he's leaving he'll tell one of my boys make sure there's a fire for mom.

Speaker 2: 15:19

So I just let myself get a little spoiled that's nice and I think that I mean if guys are like me, I love getting a good fire going and there's just not the satisfaction for exactly what you're talking about. You feel like a provider a little bit.

Speaker 1: 15:32

That's a good way to do it well, and I love his writing because it it's practical, and then it turns into something more meaningful and deep, like at the end of this one that I read be present, make the fire, do it even in the winter, and then be present in that moment, feel all the you know, the winter, breath and smell the pine smoke, and then be at home with what's around you and I think that's you can get so caught up and build the fire and get it going, and then it's like wait, but we're doing this so we can relax here and either think about things by ourselves, by the fire and let it be quiet, or just have fun together.

Speaker 1: 16:17

So I loved that one. So this one is a little short one about ice fishing, all right, and this one is one of my favorite ones we ever recorded because it was our first on location yes episode. It was ice fishing episode number 58, walleyes on the rocks and we went to your little cabin by the water with your buddies and you guys were ice fishing and I got to come in for the old-fashioned so it worked out really well for me, but you even have great photos from that day.

Speaker 1: 16:52

Like you guys had great success fishing and another episode I just highly recommend listening to and that that will reference back to. But here is his little. I think it's a haiku Cut hole in lake, ice, plunk line and void Wait, freeze curse, eat fish, for I at Bar.

Speaker 2: 17:14

Yeah, that's so true.

Speaker 1: 17:15

Yeah, so I love too that his little small book of writings shows different styles, different kinds of poetry, just free thought, different things like that. So that's inspiring too.

Speaker 2: 17:27

Yeah, that's a great coffee table book, just for your guests to pull up and just have a quick meditation.

Speaker 1: 17:33

Or, as your family probably does, read over dinner, read one reading at night.

Speaker 3: 17:39

Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 2: 17:40

That's a good way to do it.

Speaker 1: 17:41

So I loved that. Do you remember what was your favorite memory of that episode of the walleyes Um?

Speaker 2: 17:47

I just think that just the setting where we were at and just being able to record and then run out when a tip up would go up and capture that we still haven't gotten that little cottage is unfinished. So we're working on probably going to do the tear out on it this spring and work through it, which I hope to share with everybody. But you know life changes priorities on you all the time.

Speaker 3: 18:10

So it's hard to.

Speaker 2: 18:11

You know, I think I mentioned this in the last podcast. I met with the previous owner of our house. It saw him out at a Northwood sporting event and he would, hey, did you ever get that cabin remodeled? And I said, no, we haven't gotten around to it yet. And then his friends laughed about it and the show and said, hey, that's what you always used to say, Like you always said you were going to get this little cottage redone. And then you know, he lived there all these years and never did it. And I said, hey, to be fair, I did replace the roof already. We're drawing up plans and we've been going through stuff and getting it figured out, but it it's always fun to share that time on the lake and hopefully, hopefully, the lack of moisture doesn't affect our lake too much, because it can. It can rise and fall and I think it's had trending downwards right now.

Speaker 1: 18:56

So Well, and I think some people love to go fish to get away from things.

Speaker 2: 19:00

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 19:01

But sometimes it's fun to do it, like you did, right off the back of your property because the kids can come check in, yep, and you can run up and get a sandwich. Yes, it's, I like it that way, when you know my family stays kind of close with what they're doing so we can can peek in on it. But some people like it as a get, away, get quiet. So, yeah, go back and listen to episode 58 and episode 30 and then pull out a journal or your notes on your phone and start writing a little bit about just the day to day things like the weather, and let your thoughts flow. So then send us the work.

Speaker 2: 19:42

Yes, and then we'll read it on the air.

Speaker 1: 19:45

So, yeah, I love that I found an article, too, that I want to share with you. I was, I love stacking up all these things to share with, with you and our listeners. I started thinking the other day about names of towns and that some of them are weird, oh right.

Speaker 1: 20:02

Like would you live in? I mean some of the towns I'm like I would not live in that town, right? Because it's just either a negative sounding word or just like. I don't want to have to say that all the time when I have to get my address.

Speaker 2: 20:15

Sure, it's like a town like Dead Horse Creek or something Like what could could happen in Dead Horse Creek.

Speaker 1: 20:22

So I was kind of Googling to see like what are some weird names and this article came up from babblecom. Have you ever gotten the babble to learn the language?

Speaker 2: 20:30

I have not.

Speaker 1: 20:31

Or Duolingo or any of those Right.

Speaker 2: 20:33

Right? No, I'm not. I'm not sure. I'm sure I'm going to get the second language thing.

Speaker 1: 20:37

But I'm not either. I, I put them on my phone, but I'm not good at staying up with it.

Speaker 1: 20:42

Staying up with it, even though they make it so easy. I do have a couple of my children that are very gifted in languages. I have a daughter that lives in Germany and when she calls me with the kids that she nannies for she's no pair. It's one of my favorite things in the whole world to listen to her just babbling in German with the kids. I'm like who are you? It's amazing. I'm just in awe of people that it is a gift for and I'm thankful for these apps that can help people that do need to learn quicker and in easy ways.

Speaker 1: 21:15

Babblecom had this article and what's interesting about it to me is it's written by an Italian and their take on some names in America. So this is the 35 weirdest American city names from an Italian's point of view.

Speaker 1: 21:28

Yep, and so it was written in May of 2023. So you know, just less than a year ago. I will link this in the show notes because I don't know if I'll go through all 35, and then everybody can read it on their on their own and reference it to share. But here's what it says. Federico Prondi, I probably didn't get out the pronunciation exactly right. You want to try it?

Speaker 2: 21:53

That's the writer's name Frederico.

Speaker 1: 21:55

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 21:55

Prondie.

Speaker 1: 21:56

Uh-huh, this is kind of funny. This is way side note, but when my youngest is Brooks Anthony, that's his name, and when he was baptized when he was a baby, the priest goes Brooks. I'm funny, did like this whole little like I can't roll my Rs, but he rolled it. It was like forever we would pronounce his name that way was so cute. It's easy to overlook strange place names once you get used to them, but as an Italian, I'm shocked that people in the US actually live in cities and towns with names like these. Now, when I first heard that intro, I thought, oh, these names are probably scandalous.

Speaker 2: 22:32

Right.

Speaker 1: 22:32

Like, can I even read this article?

Speaker 2: 22:34

Yeah, or the words in Italian that aren't are improper.

Speaker 1: 22:37

Yeah. But then as I started reading I'm like, oh no, this is just funny. So he says you know that thing where you repeat a word so many times that it loses its meaning. It made me realize that our lives are full of words that aren't really words anymore, but often faces, places or memories. For example, the fact that my childhood best friend is called Luna Moon in Italian doesn't impress me much, even though the only other Luna I know is from Harry Potter. I also don't burst into laughter every time I visit my friend's house. That means furry alley, or act shocked when my mother tells me she's picking up groceries in a town that just has a weird name in Italian. But the weirdest city names become everyday vocabulary when you have them on speed dial. This is also why I can't blame distracted Americans for living their lives in certain towns and cities while ignoring that they have very silly names. All I'm going to do is list some of them, my favorites among the weirdest city names in the US Bangs, texas.

Speaker 2: 23:29

Bangs.

Speaker 1: 23:30

My theory. So this is where it gets funny. He gives a theory of how the town gets this name. All 1,603 inhabitants of this Texas town are obligated by city law to wear a fringe of hair on their foreheads, regardless of their gender or degree of sympathy for Zoe Dashnell. Furry animals are not exempt. The boring reality the town was named after Samuel Bangs, a printer during the Texas revolution, who was awarded the land that later took his name.

Speaker 2: 23:56

Bangs, Texas. Everybody hits like they walk in and they're like, okay, it's right to the barber shop for you.

Speaker 1: 24:02

Which I did show my kids a picture of myself my senior of high school in 1992. Bangs, I didn't have the big, big Bangs.

Speaker 2: 24:09

Yeah, Most of my classmates did. They fluff them out right.

Speaker 1: 24:12

I'm like, yeah, that was when I would roll the top part back and the bottom part down. Yeah, Soda Springs, Idaho. His theory the town was founded by junk food extremists who somehow managed to replace all natural water sources with Coke Springs, Pepsi waterfalls and Mountain View Ponds. The boring reality the name came from the presence of many carbonated water springs in the area surrounding the town.

Speaker 2: 24:35

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 24:36

Bluff, Alaska. So like we hear this and we're like these aren't that?

Speaker 2: 24:39

weird, they're just normal.

Speaker 1: 24:40

There's someone who's from not here. Although the origin of this town's name remains unknown, my instinct tells me you don't want to play poker against these inhabitants, who I assume are called bluffers. This one's kind of interesting Truth or consequences. New Mexico have you ever heard of that place?

Speaker 2: 24:56

It rings a bell, but it's probably just from some sort of book reference. Truth and consequence New Mexico.

Speaker 1: 25:03

I mean my gosh. Can you imagine coming up sitting around a table trying to think of a name?

Speaker 2: 25:08

I would imagine it's like some sort of Puritan creature named after some sort of Footloose yeah new, yeah footloose. Some sort of new.

Speaker 1: 25:16

In 1950, popular NBC radio host Ralph Edwards challenged American cities to rename themselves after his quiz show Hot Spring. New Mexico promptly accepted the challenge and became truth or consequences. This means that any American citizen could wake up tomorrow and be a resident of Game of Thrones or the Big Bang Theory. Sleep well, america. The weirdest city names have yet to air.

Speaker 2: 25:39

Wait. So is that his idea of what happened or what actually happened?

Speaker 1: 25:42

That's what actually happened. Oh okay, yeah, that one the radio host.

Speaker 2: 25:48

Or the game show host.

Speaker 1: 25:50

The host challenged a town to rename it after oh, fun, truth or consequence. Do you want to throw that challenge out there to name.

Speaker 2: 25:56

Yeah, rename your town, everyone, yeah, torgerson, torgerson town, yeah that.

Speaker 1: 26:01

Cabin cast. Can we have a cabin cast town please? Fries Virginia, his theory. At some point during the 19th century children took over the local government and banished all vegetables in favor of an all French fry diet. The boring reality the town was named after colonial Francis Fry, a cotton mill owner who played a key role in the town's establishment. So it just goes on and on with the different, like his theory for the weird town. And then what really happened? But I loved the twist on it of like first let's just make up what we think happened and then let's find out the truth.

Speaker 2: 26:39

Yeah, I think the same way about that for Italian noodles. Right, you have like these beautiful Italian names ravioli and mastic, and rigatoni and lasagna and all these things. And then somehow the Americans are like and then there's angel hair. And you're like, wait, who named these? Like, all these Italian guys come up with these names. And then their buddy, steve, is there. Like Steve, you name that one, he's like, uh, angel hair. And then, yeah, and they're like why do you mean angel hair, steve? What do you think? An angel's hair looks like Like wet noodles, right, what? It's just like. What kind of angel are we talking about here? We're like that's obviously, you know, lasagna, rigatoni, mastic, chili, angel hair. It's like why are pasta's named like that?

Speaker 1: 27:24

I think you're exactly right. When we hear it from the other way and thinking of the story makes it so much fun. Have you ever? I don't know if you've done this with your kids yet, but like, maybe you're sitting in the airport and you see people walk by, or you see people at a different table and you're like, let's make up a story of their life, what they're saying and doing. Yeah.

Speaker 2: 27:44

That's super funny.

Speaker 1: 27:45

Yeah, Like you're waiting for your food at a table and you're like oh, look at those people over there. What do you think their story is?

Speaker 2: 27:51

Oh sure.

Speaker 1: 27:52

Like he's a lumber baron from you know Alaska and he had to come back here for you know. Like, just get creative and think of what the story is.

Speaker 2: 28:01

Oh, that's super fun.

Speaker 1: 28:02

And then you could find out what it really is Like. No, they slip down the street every Thursday.

They're both on a business trip and they're miserable.

Speaker 1: 28:11

So, um, we'll link it. This, like I said, and you can read about all the different towns, and maybe one of you lives in these towns and then you can see what he he thought of, cause they're pretty funny and there's all different states in here. So, um, we will, we will link that.

Speaker 2: 28:32

All right. One of the songs I think we we may have done before was a cover of a song called Jersey giant, and Jersey giant is a Tyler Childress song and I love the reference to this because a Jersey giant is a kind of chicken and there's a saying harder than getting socks on a Jersey giant Like it's, it's like herding cats, like trying to get socks on a chicken. So somehow he changed the lyrics to this to hotter than the socks on a Jersey giant, which I still trying to understand the tie in, but it's, it's a really wonderful song and there's a a singer named Ella King who, if, if, a lot of you remember sing X's and O's that song. That was really popular and she just came out with a a new album called come get your wife, which I just so I I love the idea of that whole entire thing and she did a cover of Jersey giant. That's really fantastic and we thought everyone would enjoy. So this is a single from 2022 for Jersey giant, which is a cover of a Tyler children's song.

I remember all them songs playing till my fingers play. We get drunk and go to bed Looking back at all their memories. I hate to sleep alone. If you ever get the notion that you need me, let me know. This is just you. I can make back that now, so hold you close. It's my skin. You used to sing. One of the lady in the long back there Should have seen One of the signs. I love to hear you. I am awesome, hard and strong, even if it was a little attitude. Harder than socks on Jersey.

Speaker 2: 31:11

So I love the lyric Lord, I thought you hung the moon. It's just such a cool way to think about somebody where you're just like they couldn't do anything more. They're so amazing. Like I thought they hung the moon is an older kind of reference, but pretty cool.

Speaker 1: 31:26

Well, and I just I don't know if you noticed, I'm over here like bopping my head and tapping my. I mean, it's a song that I'm like I don't want this to end. It feels the beat of it, it just feels good and I love that. I love that.

Speaker 2: 31:39

Tyler Childress, original singer. I mentioned that Josiah and the Bonnevilles, which is really cool because he's just one singer, but he's Josiah and the Bonnevilles and the Bonnevilles are his fans, so he he sings a really great version of Jersey Giant, and then, of course, ella King does as well too.

Speaker 1: 31:56

That's a great one to share.

Speaker 2: 31:58

All right. Well, thank you everyone for following along with us. Enjoy your week ahead and we'll see you next time.
