Speaker 0: 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? Speaker 1: 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? Speaker 0: Video. Yeah. Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 0: Thank you, Michael. Speaker 1: 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? Speaker 0: Today, you actually selected the subject, and we are going to discuss tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Speaker 1: Oh, kinda crucial, but kind of the unsung heroes of our human body. Right? Speaker 0: So when we walk, run, or even wiggle our fingers Speaker 1: We're all wiggling our fingers. Right? Speaker 0: 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. Speaker 1: Did you say joints? Speaker 0: I did. Speaker 1: 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 Speaker 2: I get the joints down? Speaker 1: Alright. Continue, please. Speaker 0: It's a very cute joke. I like it. Yeah. Speaker 1: That's cute. Speaker 0: 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. Speaker 1: Well, I know a lot of football players spring Right. Speaker 0: Or Very easily. Speaker 1: Track the field too. Right? Speaker 0: 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. Speaker 1: Very interesting. Doctor. Gigi, what do you give a guy who has absolutely everything? Speaker 0: What? Speaker 1: Penicillin. Speaker 2: K. Go on. Speaker 0: 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. Speaker 1: Right. Speaker 0: 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. Speaker 1: I know you do a lot of work. Right? You're a lot of I do Speaker 0: a lot of work. Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 0: Day ahead of shoulder. Mhmm. Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 0: Five of three? Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. Well, delete that one. Speaker 0: 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. Speaker 1: Okay. Speaker 0: And the mesenchyme also forms forms the bones. Oh. They're loaded with collagen. Collagen injections? Speaker 1: Yeah. The the ladies with big lips. Speaker 0: 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, Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 2: Mhmm. Speaker 1: Bone marrow is Bone marrow. That's where our blood comes from. Speaker 2: Right. Speaker 1: So bizarre, but it leaches out through the bones. That's pretty wild. Speaker 0: Well, yeah. It doesn't leach out, but there are yeah. There is a blood vessel going in and out. Speaker 1: Doctor Gigi, what do you call a nose without a body? What? No body nose. Simple. Good. I got her laughing. Speaker 2: Alright. Speaker 0: 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 Speaker 1: Tom Bozak. Speaker 0: Tom Bozak. Speaker 1: Hi, Tom. Speaker 0: 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 Speaker 1: Or sometimes they don't heal at all. Right? I mean, I Speaker 0: Well, no. Sometimes everything. Speaker 1: It snaps. Speaker 2: It's not Speaker 0: oh, well, but even if it's torn, it can What about Speaker 1: my torn ligaments in my shoulder? What is that called? Speaker 0: That's corn Speaker 1: Oh, corn husk. No. It's part of the the cuff. Okay. Keep going. Speaker 0: A rotator cuff. Those two Speaker 1: A rotator cuff. There you go. Speaker 0: There there's all the four muscles. Okay. Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 2: I don't Speaker 1: know if it's a he or she, but I've seen a couple of signatures. Yeah. Speaker 0: I thought it was funny. Speaker 1: Alright. Speaker 0: 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? Speaker 1: Wow. Speaker 0: Babies start life with more cartilage than adults. Speaker 1: What? Speaker 0: Because much of it later turns into bones as they grow. For example, the pisiform in the wrist or the, patella, the kneecap. Speaker 1: 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 Speaker 2: do Speaker 1: you know how I satisfy doctor Gigi in bed by sleeping on the sofa? Speaker 0: See? Not funny. Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 0: Those are the ones that you wanted to discuss. Speaker 1: 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 Speaker 3: the first show of February. Speaker 1: Yeah. Right? And it will be continued for the next five Wednesdays in a row with, guess what, musical guests. Speaker 2: Woo hoo. Speaker 1: And today, we're joined by two absolutely incredible musicians who have become a rhythmic, beating heart. Speaker 0: Arrhythmia or a rhythmic? Speaker 1: 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.

Mostly teach music right now. Speaker 1: And how old? Speaker 4: 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. Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 4: 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. Speaker 1: Okay. We ask all musicians this question. Ross, you're teaching music. Do you read music? Speaker 4: I can read music. Speaker 1: 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? Speaker 3: 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. Speaker 0: 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 Speaker 1: I can't. Speaker 0: You can't read that fast. Right? You just have to hear it, I'm guessing. You read that fast? Speaker 4: 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. Speaker 1: Does Morgan Schmidt play mostly originals? You do cover I know that The Wayouts, you have quite a repertoire of of original songs. Speaker 3: We go back and forth. Speaker 4: Yeah. We like fiendishly learned songs. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 4: And so mostly that's covers. But we I don't know. We do have a good amount of originals too. Right on. Speaker 0: 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 Speaker 1: David Sedgwick, your your keyboard guy, when he plays, he sees he with the music, he sees equations. Did you know that? He's Speaker 0: 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. Speaker 1: Yes. Or colors. Speaker 3: I have perceived him seeing colors. What is the way? Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 4: Well, David Sedgwick. Speaker 1: Okay. You mentioned. The board guy. Yeah. Yeah. Super talented guy in Speaker 0: our area. Speaker 3: And drummer. Mhmm. Who's drummer? Tom Boylan. Tom Boylan. Speaker 1: Oh, it's Boylan. Speaker 2: Is it Boylan? No. Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 0: We knew that. Speaker 1: 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 Speaker 3: agree. I would just have to say, you must have very Speaker 1: a lot of patience. Right? Speaker 2: Yes. He has a Speaker 1: lot of patience. Speaker 4: Do you see the patience as equations or colors? Speaker 0: I have the patience with a CE and a TS. That's pretty funny. Speaker 1: So McCools has, your wife, Michael? Speaker 3: Yeah. There's a pile of this. Speaker 4: Yeah. So you so your wife, Jen, plays the Bellotica and the Whistle. Penny Whistle. Speaker 0: Is that Perpetition. Penny whistle or piccolo? Is that It's Speaker 3: a penny whistle. Speaker 0: Oh, it's a pale it's So cool. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Really fantastic. Okay. Go ahead because there's Speaker 4: Yeah. Then there's the fiddle player, Ally. Speaker 3: Ally. Yeah. Grandassy. Her son. Speaker 4: Yeah. Her son, Declan. Speaker 3: Yes. Declan makes it in when he can. Speaker 0: Oh, is he the one with the other drum that you Speaker 3: Nope. That's Tyler Reynolds. Tyler. Speaker 1: That's right. Speaker 3: He's another HOA'er. Speaker 4: Tom Boylan also often Mhmm. Plays the kit with that group too. And there's more. Isn't it? Sedgwick. Yeah. Speaker 1: You two. And now Sedgwick, David. Yeah. There we go. Yeah. So This is our biggest fear we Speaker 3: were gonna forget somebody in this particular band. Speaker 1: But your big big big moment is coming up. Right? Speaker 4: Yeah. We get busy this time. Speaker 1: 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? Speaker 0: 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? Speaker 4: Your music? Rock? It's it's our music. Speaker 0: I mean, it's very different from any other music really that I have heard. Speaker 1: 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 Speaker 3: with it is kinda take it out into whatever direction we feel like we end up going at that point. Speaker 1: So if you got people dancing, do you pretty much then say, okay. Let's go off script. Let's play the faster songs? Speaker 4: 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 Speaker 1: the crowd is on. Right? Yeah. So how come you don't have a bagpipe player? Well, yeah. That's coming. Maybe they're Speaker 3: I believe they're probably few and far between. Right. And then when it's gonna sound good. Yeah. True. That's true. Speaker 1: They can sound pretty awful. Speaker 0: You're right. Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just they could play out outside the door. Speaker 3: That's how we got Ally too. Said you were playing fiddle. Speaker 1: Fiddle. Yeah. The violin she plays very Yeah. Speaker 0: Very nice. Speaker 2: And Speaker 0: when you play in Oregon, which one is your or Brookings Harbor? Which one is your favorite venue to play? Speaker 3: I don't know if I could pick one. Speaker 4: Yeah. Not to be diplomatic, but different different places for different things. Speaker 0: Right. Speaker 4: Checo's stage is great. Yeah. Speaker 0: So huge. Right? And you have a lot of how about, Crescent City then anywhere too? Speaker 3: Again. Speaker 0: Right? Speaker 1: 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. Speaker 3: I think that's more We hid in at the House Of Jambalaya Speaker 2: Yeah. That's on fire. Speaker 1: Occasions. You do. Yes, sir. Speaker 4: Oh, it's good for your Speaker 0: side. Yeah. Outside door. Speaker 3: The outside is a great place to play. Speaker 1: Yeah. But Could be windy. Speaker 3: Windy. Yeah. It can be Speaker 0: Last time. Speaker 3: Weather's trouble in the summer. Speaker 1: 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.
