Welcome everyone.
You have now entered the cosmic radio receptors
of KCIW
one hundred point seven FM in Brookings, Oregon.
Thank you so much for tuning in to
Wix this week's interesting program.
I'm doctor Gigi, and my cohost is, as
always, Jacques Kepner. How are you, Jacques Kipu?
I'm doing finer than a well, a couple
weeks ago, I said defeated 49 or so.
I don't know how I'm doing. I'm doing
fine. Greetings, everyone, and welcome to the Doc
and Jacques Radio Variety Show. Special thanks to
sound engineer Ray Simon. And and, Tom, if
you're listening, hope your ankle unsprains itself.
Linda Bozak, who's sitting out listening and and
a host of all sorts of other people
that I'll mention in just a moment. But
you're hearing this live syndicated show on KCOW
in Brookings, Oregon. That said, the same syndicated
show will be rebroadcast in exactly one week
from today,
every Wednesday, at 8AM on KZZH
ninety six point seven FM in Eureka Humboldt.
And then a few hours later at my
at 01:00, my old alma mater, KFUG in
Crescent City, California. So now you know, doctor
Gigi and I have your coast covered. And
in addition to today's regularly broadcast
produced
audio, we have a live
radio or a a video broadcast. Right? Video.
Yeah. And a certain wizard of the of
the studio, namely Top Gun Gun Gun
Michael Gorse is now fully documenting each and
every show by videotaping
it. So thank you very much, Michael. Thank
you, Michael. We really appreciate Okay. It's that
time when good medicine and health tips are
presented by my German medical doctor, not with
not one, as you told me, or two
or three. I had to look it up
on Google. She has four patents in her
name as a scientist and a university professor,
doctor Gigi. Alright. That said,
what medical marvels do you have for us
today on this week's health segment of the
MDGG?
Excuse me. One last thing.
One last time. I need to tell the
audience about what happened this morning, doc. You
know, when I went downstairs after she'd left,
I found a note on the refrigerator
and it said, Jacques, between you and me,
it's not working anymore.
Doctor, I open up the refrigerator and it's
working fine.
Okay. I'm trying too hard. Alright. What do
you got, doc?
Today,
you actually selected the subject, and we are
going to discuss
tendons,
cartilage, and ligaments.
Oh, kinda crucial, but kind of the unsung
heroes of our human body. Right? So when
we walk, run, or even wiggle our fingers
We're all wiggling our fingers. Right? There's a
lot happening beneath our skin that we don't
see.
Three unsung heroes, as you mentioned,
in movement, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage quietly do
the work of holding our body together and
keeping our joints moving shamoosely.
Did you say joints? I did. Oh, okay.
Speaking of joints and such, you know, doctor,
I had recently quit marijuana altogether.
My cholesterol was getting way too high.
Why can't I get the joints down?
Alright. Continue, please.
It's a very cute joke. I like it.
Yeah. That's cute. Okay. So think of tendons,
ligaments, and cartilage as the body's connective
team.
Tendons are the tough cords that attach muscles
to the bones,
allowing our muscles to pull and move our
skeleton, our bones around,
the mostly. The famous Achilles tendon behind our
heel is one, and it can handle forces
several times
our body weight. Well, I know a lot
of football players spring Right. Or Very easily.
Track the field too. Right? Now, ligaments link
bones to other bones, especially around joints like
our knees and ankles or any other joints.
They act like sturdy
so called straps. They keep bones properly aligned
while still allowing some flexibility.
Damage
to one, let's say ACL,
anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, and we
click quickly see how crucial they are for
our stability
or knee. Very interesting. Doctor. Gigi,
what do you give a guy who has
absolutely
everything?
What? Penicillin.
K. Go on.
Okay. Let's go deep dive deeper in cartilage.
Cartilage is the smooth, flexible tissue that cushions
the joints or the bones that shapes
part of our body like the nose and
ears. Right. And it keeps,
it it what it keeps our knees bent
without bones grinding together. All the joints, the
the so called cenobral joints,
the bones are covered with a cartilage. I
know you do a lot of work. Right?
You're a lot of I do a lot
of work. You're breaking three different jobs.
You have a lot of patients that come
in. They need knee shots, so you're getting
a lot of experience giving people joint shots
over Yep. Day ahead of shoulder. Mhmm. A
shoulder? Really. Yeah. Folks, I'm no good at
math, but I am comforted
in knowing that five out of every three
people struggle with it also. Five of three?
Yeah. Okay. Well,
delete that one. What else?
Dylan,
all those three tissues develop from the same
early body material called mesenchyme.
What? If you wanna study any biology, you
will learn about the mesenchyme.
Okay. And the mesenchyme also forms forms the
bones. Oh. They're loaded with collagen. Collagen injections?
Yeah. The the ladies with big lips. Yeah.
K. So that's the protein that gives him
strength and a little bit of a stretch.
Tendons and ligaments
are also made out of packed collagen fibers,
and then they're usually lined up either in
the right door in the same direction or
crisscrossing depending on what strength or what kind
of sturdiness they have to show Okay.
Or what kind of shock they have to
be able to absorb, like the cartilage,
that our meniscus is made out of, for
example. Also, you have taught me from these,
nice little conversations, medical notes, that all of
our
blood cells
are manufactured inside the bones. Mhmm. Bone marrow
is Bone marrow. That's where our blood comes
from. Right. So bizarre, but it leaches out
through the bones.
That's pretty wild. Well, yeah. It doesn't leach
out, but there are yeah. There is a
blood vessel going in and out. Doctor Gigi,
what do you call a nose without a
body?
What? No body nose.
Simple.
Good. I got her laughing.
Alright.
One big downside
of those tissues is that they don't get
much blood flow, or they don't really have
hardly at all their own blood flow, meaning
they don't get oxygen or nutrients
to the tendons, the cartilage,
or the ligaments.
That means they have slower healing
when they're injured. So for example, if somebody
sprains their ankle, their Tom Bozak. Tom Bozak.
Hi, Tom. Their ligaments are stretched or even
torn, and it takes longer than actually bones
to heal because they don't have their own
blood supply.
The
so that's why Or sometimes they don't heal
at all. Right? I mean, I Well, no.
Sometimes everything. It snaps. It's not oh, well,
but even if it's torn, it can What
about my torn ligaments in my shoulder?
What is that called? That's corn Oh, corn
husk. No. It's part of the the cuff.
Okay. Keep going. A rotator cuff. Those two
A rotator cuff. There you go. There there's
all the four muscles.
Okay. Okay. Well, as most of you know,
if you haven't heard on Facebook that, last
week, my Visa card was yes, indeed. It
was stolen.
Now it's everywhere that I wanna be.
But
I don't think I'm gonna report it stolen
because the thief, he's spending a lot less
than I do.
I don't know if it's a he or
she, but I've seen a couple of signatures.
Yeah. I thought it was funny. Alright. So
a cup and a couple more plenty cute
marvels.
The slippery
slippery cartilage
coating of our joints is so smooth
and it's more frictionless or less frictionless
than many machine lubricants.
Pretty cool. Right? Wow. Babies start life with
more cartilage than adults. What? Because much of
it later turns into bones as they grow.
For example, the pisiform in the wrist
or the,
patella, the kneecap.
Well, as testified by our guests in the
studio today, they their hands are working all
the time because they are accomplished,
musicians and guitarists. I mean, you've gotta have
strong hands to be able to play as
well and as long as the gentleman sitting
across from us. Okay. One last joke. Okay.
Do you mind that? Should I say the
risque one? I'm gonna tell you risque one.
How do you know how I satisfy
doctor Gigi
in bed
by sleeping on the sofa?
See? Not funny.
Come on. Darn it.
Great. You don't like that one either. Okay.
Thanks, doctor Gigi, for
cartilages,
joints.
Tendon ligament. Okay. There we go. Those are
the ones that you wanted to discuss. Alright.
Thank you so much. That was interesting, and
we're right on time. Good afternoon, friends, and
welcome back to this edition of the Doc
and Jacques Live Radio Show on KZHKCIW
and, of course, KFUG coming to you from
this wild and wonderful stretch of coastal magic
along the Northern California coast and Southern Oregon
shoreline. Today's guest,
we're really excited about it. Really, truly. I've
been after these guys come up here for
quite a while and it finally happened.
This will be the first show of February.
Yeah. Right? And it will be continued for
the next five Wednesdays in a row with,
guess what,
musical guests. Woo hoo. And today, we're joined
by two absolutely
incredible
musicians who have become a rhythmic,
beating heart.
Arrhythmia
or a rhythmic?
Arrhythmic.
Okay.
Of our local music scene. They really are
good. We we watch them develop and grow,
and we just love watching. They have such
a good time when these gentlemen take the
stage. Michael Schmidt and Ross Morgan
from the Wayouts.
The Wayouts. The Wayouts. Great bands are in
the studio today. And if
you've been anywhere near a stage, a festival,
or a lively coastal bar in Crested City
or Brookings, chances are
that you've seen these two
in action. And that is, of course, with
their other two teammates, which we will discuss
soon. Michael and Ross are more than just
a backbone of the wayouts. They're the spark
behind several other bands that bring our community
together
week after week.
Their energy is infectious. Their talent is undeniable,
and their joy for entertaining is
absolutely contagious. From heartfelt ballads to rock driven
rhythm and soulful grooves, these,
music,
crosses their music crosses genres. Like, this guy
came up with this. This is a good
one. There are crosses genres with ease.
There is comfortable reinventing a classic cover tune
as they are driving into their own original
material.
Songs that speak of life on the coast,
the people who live here and the endless
rhythm of the ocean just around the corner.
What makes Michael and Ross so special isn't
just their music, it's the feeling they
create. Again, they have fun. They bring people
together. They they make strangers become friends. Dance
floors fill up.
Laughter flows freely into the night. So today,
we get to know them a little better,
talk about their lives and interests, their journeys
through music. And then, best of all, we
get a long set today
of ready,
live experience
and see them perform well, hear them. And
we'll see them because of Michael Gorse's
videotaping this whole thing right here in the
KCIW
studio. So stick around, friends. You don't wanna
miss this show with Ross Morgan and Michael
Schmidt. Both of you, welcome to the Doc
and Jacques Show. Hello. Thank you. Hi. Welcome

And then you hit Gasky. Yep. What was
it like growing up in Gaski? Kinda cool.
It was great. Yeah. Is it hot? Hotter
than it is now?
No.
Cooler?
Yeah. Because it's known to be really super
hot now. I mean, it's only 20 miles
up the canyon. It came out. I mean,
Hyuchi's already Who do we know that lives
in there? Greg Greg Strong lives up there,
I think. You know, Greg?
He's Hyuchi, I think. Yeah. Yeah. It's hotter
in the summer,
but it just I mean, it just rains
like Right. Like paradise. Okay. Where do you
live now? In Gaskie. In Gaskie. You're still

coming a long way for this trip. Yeah.
But that's that's Very nice. Really cool. Alright,
Todd. Keep on asking those. Okay. What else
do you guys,
wear,
what, when do you guys play other than
in the wayouts?
Well, they're what are the bands? We played
it with Well, whatever they want. The two
of us Yeah. That we're gonna do here.
Uh-huh.
Occasionally. Wait. You guys are banned by you
two? By just you two? We've run we've
run around and oh, is this kinda started?
Is this,
like, M and R or or what's the
name? What is the band called? It's Morgan
Schmidt. Morgan Schmidt? Morgan Schmidt. Okay. Good. Simple.
I like it. We kinda started out that
way Mhmm. Some
five years ago or so Alright. That we've
been playing together. Oh, so as Morgan Schmidt,
you too? And then the other bands? We
had a much bigger group of folks that
were getting together until the COVID thing happened
and Yeah. Split, and we decided to keep
on going. Very nice. Now what do you
do outside of playing fantastic music?
My business card says restaurateur,
musician, fisherman. Chef too. Right? That's all part
of that. That's it. Fisherman too? I like
the fish. You got a boat?
No. Not anymore. Darn it.
For looking we want somebody to take us
out to Saint George Reef. Hey, by the
way, Saint George Reef, they're offering helicopter trips,
I think, in a couple weeks. There's only
two? Yeah. So reach out to the Saint
George Reef Lighthouse,
Preservation Society. I talked to our friend, John
Zimmerman, and he can set you up going
out there. I'd love to if you've been
out to the island and looked around? I
buy it in a boat. Right. But I
have had I have had friends go out
on the helicopter. I know. Like it. Right?
It's pretty impressive. It's gotta be. Very cool.
Yeah. It's gotta be. Okay. So what is
the other restauranteur?
What does that mean?
I own and operate the House of Jambalaya.
Oh. Right on. H o h o j.
I said H O A really,
but H O J. And that's in Crescent
City. It is in Crescent City. And it's
out there by the water. Right? Where you
Just fit. The sea lions are hanging out.
Where the sea lions are. Yes. They are.
Very cool. Yeah. Yeah. How about Ross Morgan?
What do you do besides playing fantastic music?
I work in education at Castle Rock Charter
School in Ross City. Really? So my title
is support teacher.
Support teacher. Who am I?
Mostly teach music right now. And how old?
Year is kinda different depending on which students
we have and How old are the students,
gentlemen?
I work mostly with fourth and fifth graders.
Cool. But most of our students are in
middle school, high school. Did not know that.
I'm glad to hear that. Do you ever
see like total prodigies? People kids coming up
there and you go, wow, this kid knows
more than I do and he's only
10.
I
I feel really lucky. I often get to
interact with, I mean, 10 year olds are
often just like, wow.
You don't you don't know any theory about
any of this or anything, but what you're
doing is amazing.
And sometimes the stuff they can just pick
up by ear is
incredible. Okay. We ask all musicians this question.
Ross, you're teaching music. Do you read music?
I can read music. Yeah. Okay. I mean,
I'd say 75% of all our guests have
say they don't.
I have, and, Bas, how about you, Michael?
I once upon a time, I could do
pretty good. Right. I can pick through it,
but I, have kinda let that go Yeah.
The wayside. Now when I say you guys
play, and I cannot even think of you
reading music as fast as you, you know,
do this guitar thing. So that I can't.
You can't read that fast. Right? You just
have to hear it, I'm guessing. You read
that fast?
No. I probably
I I even, like
I was thinking about this earlier for some
reason. But it's like you're processing
matrix stuff. Right? You have your visual and
you have your sound. And when I'm in
my visual space, I don't I can't hear
as,
presently.
So I like to learn stuff from paper
often, but then get away from it so
that I can actually focus on the sound.
Wow. Cool. Does Morgan Schmidt play mostly originals?
You do cover I know that The Wayouts,
you have quite a repertoire
of
of original
songs. We go back and forth. Yeah. We
like fiendishly learned songs. Yeah. And so mostly
that's covers. But we I don't know. We
do have a good amount of originals too.
Right on. Okay. Do you guys have any
of you? Do you do you know what
synesthesia is?
Synesthesia.
When you,
when you perceive
some sense, but then you see another sense,
for example,
or you see the color orange, but you
think of the number 24 or Or David
Sedgwick, your your keyboard guy, when he plays,
he sees he with the music, he sees
equations. Did you know that? He's Oh, waves
or something. And it's not just a music.
He says if it's in a separate key,
if it's an e flat, for example. I
remember him saying that I don't even know
you know, I mean, so he hears the
different keys. Yes.
Or colors.
I have perceived him seeing colors. What is
the way?
He's a shaman, I found out. He's like
a
shaman guide doing certain things. I think that's
pretty cool.
Tell us about the other members of the
wayouts.
Well, David Sedgwick. Okay. You mentioned. The board
guy. Yeah. Yeah. Super talented guy in our
area. And drummer. Mhmm.
Who's drummer? Tom Boylan. Tom Boylan. Oh, it's
Boylan.
Is it Boylan? No. Boylan. It's Boylan. Uh-oh.
Ray just gave me a he just he's
saying do not
tap the table like that. I Yeah. We
knew that. Okay. He's he's shaking his finger.
So sorry, but that's what live radio is
all about. How about the McCools? There are,
like, 30 people here. I agree. I would
just have to say,
you must have very a lot of patience.
Right? Yes. He has a lot of patience.
Do you see the patience as equations or
colors?
I have the patience with a CE and
a TS.
That's pretty funny.
So McCools has,
your wife, Michael? Yeah. There's a pile of
this. Yeah. So you so your wife, Jen,
plays
the Bellotica and the Whistle. Penny Whistle. Is
that Perpetition. Penny whistle or piccolo? Is that
It's a penny whistle. Oh, it's a pale
it's So cool. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Really
fantastic. Okay. Go ahead because there's
Yeah. Then there's the fiddle player, Ally. Ally.
Yeah. Grandassy.
Her son. Yeah. Her son, Declan. Yes. Declan
makes it in when he can. Oh, is
he the one with the other drum that
you Nope. That's
Tyler Reynolds. Tyler. That's right. He's another HOA'er.
Tom Boylan also often Mhmm. Plays the kit
with that group too.
And there's more. Isn't it? Sedgwick.
Yeah. You two. And now Sedgwick, David. Yeah.
There we go. Yeah. So This is our
biggest fear we were gonna forget somebody in
this particular band.
But your big big big moment is coming
up. Right? Yeah. We get busy this time.
Which is when? What's your big moment? Saint
Patrick's Day. Saint Patrick's Day. Right? McCool's. Usually
at where? Porta Pines, Northcrest? Northcrest.
It's really cool because you guys play
different kind of music, but super specialized. Like,
the MacCools, the the Irish music, I mean,
this is super I mean, not even if
you have never been to Ireland, like, I
haven't been, you just know it's Irish music.
And it's so fun, and you kind of
get tapping,
foot tapping and stuff. But then the way
out play
I don't know what you call that music,
but it's really good. What do you call
that music?
Your music? Rock?
It's it's our music.
I mean, it's very
different from any other music really that I
have heard.
Right? Yeah. You also you you do classics.
You do, dead. You do your own stuff,
and it's pop. You got some great beats.
You guys are on fire. That's what we
love
about when you guys are playing. And people
we you guys are infectious. The thing we
like to do with it is kinda take
it out
into whatever direction we feel like we
end up going at that point. So if
you got people dancing, do you pretty much
then say, okay. Let's go off script. Let's
play the faster songs?
Yeah. I mean, you'd you'd have the in
in in,
a relationship with the audience. That's one of
the things about the Irish band that was
so interesting to me because I only started
doing that, like, three years ago
when you brought me that huge stack of
stuff and we're like, we're doing this. But,
you know, most bands I've been in, you
kind of win the audience over or you
bring them in, where the Irish music is,
like, from the first note that the crowd
is on. Right? Yeah. So how come you
don't have a bagpipe player? Well, yeah. That's
coming. Maybe they're I believe they're probably few
and far between. Right. And then when it's
gonna sound good. Yeah. True. That's true. They
can sound pretty awful. You're right. Yeah. It's
just they could play out outside the door.
That's how we got Ally too.
Said you were playing fiddle. Fiddle. Yeah.
The violin she plays very Yeah. Very nice.
And when you play in Oregon, which one
is your or Brookings Harbor? Which one is
your favorite venue to play?
I don't know if I could pick one.
Yeah. Not to be diplomatic, but different different
places for different things. Right. Checo's stage is
great. Yeah. So huge. Right? And you have
a lot of how about, Crescent City then
anywhere too?
Again. Right? We're just yeah. Just where who
are you? Got Inotecum
and you've got South Beach and North Beach,
but they're not playing very much at North
Beach anymore. I think that's more We hid
in at the House Of Jambalaya Yeah. That's
on fire. Occasions. You do. Yes, sir. Oh,
it's good for your side. Yeah. Outside door.
The outside is a great place to play.
Yeah. But Could be windy. Windy. Yeah. It
can be Last time. Weather's trouble in the
summer. Yeah. Yeah. Be nice. Alright. What's coming
up on the horizon? We have something else
to announce, and that is
drum roll without the drum, Ray.
What do you have coming up on the
February 20?
Battle of the Bands at Battle. Inoteca. Battle
of the Put on by One King Entertainment.
Right. John Mendoza, Barbara, Birdie,
Ray Martel.
It's gonna be a fun, fun time. And

years? Yeah. A little bit less work, a
little more fishing. There we go. Gotta get

rowboat. How how how about us?
I just hope I get to keep doing
what I'm doing. You're in Nirvana already? Yeah.

Your last name is Schmidt, which is German
Jambalaya House. It's usually more Louisianian.
Well Where does that come up?
Actually,

believe it comes from Belgium.
I am mostly Scottish and Irish and Welsh.
Okay.
So

Cool.
Alright. It's an original song here on KCW.
Morgan Schmidt. Yeah.

Picked up a bright shining penny, baby.
Threw it away.
Because I just don't feel like this. It's
my lucky day.
Ecky

Yesterday, I found out that

Leaving, but this ain't the way I come

Can you tell me what home can it

Tomorrow's coming,
and it
won't change a thing.
Welcome this morning.
The black guy crossed my bed.
That was right after I woke up, and
I fell out of
bed. Looked right on up at me.
Like, I was his old friend,
so I picked him right on up, and
I scratched him on his big old furry
head.
He don't scam with none.
Wow.
Wow. Nice.
Gentlemen.
Wow.
Very cool. So Cool. So how long how
many years ago did you write that, did
you say? I don't recall.
More than two? There's no way. Less than
ten? There's no way. No.
I would say it had to be yeah.
Were you talking like a monster under the
bed with a big furry head, or is
that like a dog? That was That was
the cat. Oh, cat. Okay. There we go.
The black cat. The black cat. There we
go. Cool. Wow. What a neat
you guys got the rhythm. You guys got
the talent. It's so good watching you. Thank
you. Thank you. Alright. What else have we
got? Thanks for all the nice things you
said about us earlier. Oh, thank you. You
are more than welcome, sir. You guys deserve
it. What's up next? Martha. Martha. Now that
was my mother's name. So what My mother's.

is one of mine. And this is about
mom?
Yeah. Cool. Sure.
Alright.
Cool. Alright. Martha by Morgan and Schmidt here
in the KCOW studios.
And when I leave this town, if I
ever do,
all my friends get together
and make small talk about the weather
and
let them go.
When the rivers rise,
you get those tears in your eyes.
Don't pump the brakes.
I help me
bullshit my hand
when I'm alone.
Wow.
Now I have to ask a personal question
about I assume your mother has passed. No.
Oh, my mom has passed. But because I
serpentine stone, I was thinking of a gravestone.
Is that not what I was thinking of?
Growing up in Gatsky.
Oh, k. There is that serpentine. Alright. Well,
then I'm very sorry. Martha, many, many, many
good years to you. Seriously, we hope This
song is about leaving home, though. Yeah. As
I see where you'd pick that up. But,
man, it hits it that both songs have
hit me on an emotional level. So,
man, the more the emotional, the better music
and especially on radio. Wonderful. Thank you so
much for those two. So what I like
Yeah. Was the harmony.
Love harmony. She's a harmony girl. I'm a
harmony girl. Well, I yeah. And I really
like I never hear. I I don't have
to hear the hearing for a bass. That's
a bass. Right? It is. So
I don't usually hear it, but I usually
can hear it when you guys when you
play because I don't know if you're louder
than others, but
that's really cool when I hear it because
I can hear all kinds of music and
then, you know, people are allowed for the
bass and I never hear it. I prefer
to call
distinctiveness of your bass playing. More distinctive.
This is what we love here at the
studio
to hear these kind of songs. We are
really,
fortunate to have you two in the studio.
Wow. Long overdue. Alright. We got two more
songs. Maybe you got a harmonic on this
one. You could play three more songs or
four if you want. Three?
Okay. Good. We have plenty of time. We
have seventeen minutes. Let's do it. Let's fill
up the whole hour. What are you gonna
play?
This one's called Nobody's Fool.
Nobody's
Fool.
Okay. I would call this my probably my
protest song Okay.
Even longer ago than the other one
when I was
working at Pepsi Cola and
shop stored for the Teamsters.
Woah.
Back in Philadelphia area.
Yeah. Reading out in town. Wow. Cool. Alright.
So nobody's fool.

It's working class country.
It's a bandit.
Oh, my my shies up and die.
Here about

as his day was long.

Yeah. He's
been doing that for a while. Has he
been pinning me down? So if you have
something on your feet, you would also do
something with it. I mean, playing the guitar,
bass, and the harmonica is quite
a feat, I think. I mean, I wouldn't
be able to do either one by itself.
Pretty cool. Yeah. Sometimes I can't either.
