Welcome.
You have now entered the cosmic radio receptors
of KCIW
one hundred point seven FM
located just a few miles north of the
California border in lovely coastal Brookings, Oregon. Woo
hoo. Thank you for tuning into this week's
interesting and fun program.
I'm doctor Gigi, and my cohost is, as
always, Jacques Kepner. How are you today, Jacques
Kepner? Greetings, everyone.
Doing finer than a well,
welcome to the Doc and Jacques Radio Variety
Show. Special thanks to today's sound engineer, Ray
Simon, who's in there
doing his stuff. He's an industrious man. And
then another
man that is a big, big part of
this station and that's Michael Gorse,
who is today manning the video
of this same show broadcast so you can
watch it as well as hear it.
You can find it real quickly by going
to kciw.org
and just checking into our past shows and
you will find them all. You are hearing
this live syndicated show on KCIW in Brookings,
Oregon. That said, the same
syndicated show will be heard and rebroadcast in
exactly one week from now, each and every
Wednesday at 8AM,
or you get up before eight. I'm up
before eight. On our coastal southern friends KZH
ninety six point seven FM in Eureka Humboldt
Region. Hello to all of you down there
listening to the show.
And at my old alma mater, KFUG
one zero one oh, wait. 1101.1FM
in Coastal Crescent City. So there you go.
Doctor Gigi and I have your coast
covered. Okay. It's that time when good medicine
and health tips are colorfully
presented by my German American practicing medical doctor
who's also a research scientist
who holds
she wants me to cut this out, but
I don't know. I gotta tell I'm proud
of you. You hold four, DNA technology patents
in your name. You've been a university professor.
You are now a a really distinguished artist.
I'm really proud of you. You're also a
newspaper columnist, which is the latest thing, and
a syndicated broadcaster, and so much more. Did
I mention that she has, does incredibly
emotional work at our region's hospice as a
hospice physician?
Good for you, doctor Gigi. Tell us, what
medical marvels do you have for us today
on this week's segment of MDGG?
You're turning kinda red.
Are you blushing?
Maybe.
Maybe it's just hot in here. You could
laugh all you want. Alright. So today, we'll
focus
we will focus our attention
to a virus, Epstein Barr virus no hold
it.
EBV, Epstein Barr virus, is a widespread
purpose virus best known for causing infectious mononucleosis
or mono or
say it. The kissing disease. That's how I
know it as. You know? Right? And, like,
ninety percent of the people in the world
have had the kissing disease. You have read
my thing. Okay. Oh. So it spreads mainly
through the saliva, hence Oh, amazing. Hissing disease
Breast like gum.
But can also be transmitted by blood, semen,
organ transplants, or breast milk.
Once people are infected,
EBV usually stays in the body for life,
lying dormant in cells and occasionally
reactivating,
especially when the immune system is weakened
or under stress.
Woah. By the way, that's just like the
herpes zoster virus that causes shingles. It's also
herpes virus. K. So, yes, you're right. More
than ninety percent of adults worldwide
carry the virus. Right on. So the Epstein,
the Epstein files
are are are out there everywhere. Right?
Okay. We're talking about Oh, the Epstein Barr.
ABV was first discovered in 1964
when you were a wee lad
by British pathologist,
Michael Epstein
and Yvonne Barr.
Jeffrey and Michael Epstein and Yvonne Barr, who
identified it in a tumor in tumor cells
from African children with a lymphoma called Burkitt
lymphoma.
So it's like a cancer lymphoma.
This finding was groundbreaking
because it revealed that a virus could play
a role in cancer,
making EBV the first known human
oncogenic
virus.
Wow. Sweet. That's cool. Hey. They used to
time me with a stopwatch doctor. Now they
use a calendar.
Okay. What else do you have for us?
Since then, it has been linked to a
number of cancers including
the before mentioned Burkitt lymphoma,
Hodgkin's,
and some non Hodgkin's lymphomas, which is, you
know, some other blood cancers.
Nasopharyngeal
carcinoma,
which we have found out a dog of
our
friend's dog had it and he had to
be taken Oh, that's right. That's right. That's,
Annie and John's dog, Cooper. Cooper. Some types
of stomach cancer and
some other disorders that can develop after organ
transplants
when, again, the immune system is suppressed. Cool.
And aren't your ladies gonna sing a song
later called Cooper? Did I just Hot Connor.
Oh, Hot Connor. Okay.
Hot Connor. Close. Okay. Hey, doc doc, I
I just can't get enough out of this.
This is my one of my favorite jokes,
but I've heard here a few times, what's
dead
and sits in a closet?
What? The hide and seek champion from 1995.
That one is a pretty funny one.
I just ignore people that call me fat
folks. I'm much bigger than that.
Wow. Yeah. They've lost a couple of pounds.
K. What else, Doug? In most people, we
already talked about
the kissing disease. Yeah. So especially in teenagers
and young adults,
before they get the EBV virus for the
first time, when they get it for the
first time, it causes many times mononucleosis,
which is which causes fatigue,
fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.
Now and and a different thing that is
very well known is also that it
gives you a huge spleen
and an enlargement of the spleen. That's all?
K.
Well, this is because it activates the so
called CD eight,
CD eight T cells. There are the T
cells that activate. They are busy with the
viruses. But, anyway,
the big thing is
those people who have that enlarged spleen
are not supposed to play contact sports like
football as a teenager. But I mean
so you're basically gonna get infected if you're
a kisser, if you kiss
a lot of people.
And other things. Yeah. Well, don't kiss before
you went on with playing football as a
teenager.
Why? You should say, why is it so
dangerous? Why is it so dangerous? That drinking,
why, doctor?
An enlarged spleen, if you get hit just
in the right way, you bleed to death
within minutes. That's what happened to Gary Houdini.
Houdini died that way when he took a
punch to the stomach and it's burst his
spleen and he He didn't have an enlarged
spleen?
I believe so. Hey, it's better to have
a bottle in front of me than a
frontal lobotomy.
Okay? I finally got her to hey, I'm
I'm currently boycotting
any company
that sells items that I can't afford.
Same. Good one.
Damn.
What else? So beyond mononucleosis,
EBV plays a role in several long term
diseases. Now this is interesting. This is semi
now. It's strongly associated with the autoimmune conditions
such
as multiple sclerosis.
Oh, weird. Woah. Lupus. Woah. Rheumatoid arthritis.
Woah. Sjogren's syndrome. Woah. Well Type one
diabetes. These are all And celiac disease. Wow.
They're just all autoimmune diseases. They're semi colonized.
Epstein file does everything. Wreked everything.
So anyway, so those people with multiple sclerosis,
pretty much every single one has been previously
infected with EBV. If you have not had
the EBV, then it's very, very unlikely to
get multiple sclerosis.
Wow. You know, I this morning, I asked
Siri, why am I so unpopular and no
one ever kisses me?
And she turned on the self facing portrait
camera.
Right. She was.
So now
other inquiring minds say, why would an infection
cause that? Why would an infection So the
main thought is that
EBV, one of the proteins that EBV makes,
looks very much like a protein that our
myelin cells make. Myelin cells are the nerve
protecting cells. So
instead of really being a 100% matched to
the EBV, they're matched a little bit to
the myelin protein and ta da, there you
have your autoimmune disease, for example. I'm just
talking doctor Reese again. That stuff. Okay. I
recently changed my name from well, I changed
the name of my toilet from John from
John to Jim. Now I tell everybody that
I'm just going to the gym.
Do you spend a lot of time at
the gym?
No. Worse.
Lots of time in there. Just doing squats.
So now, obviously, people wanna prevent that. They
wanna prevent EBV from even happening. Mononucleosis
is not a big deal, but then what
comes after. Right? So they're trying to get
vaccines, which haven't happened yet. But ninety percent
of the people have it. That's I know
it. Hold on. You've been pissing frogs all
your life or something.
We'll see. If you can give a, an
a vaccine and so
you don't get it, wouldn't that be better?
Yeah. True. So there. Do they genetically
alternate this stuff? Can they? Because that leads
into my next joke. Please bring me your
note. Well, I've got no problems with genetically
modified food.
Yep. Last night, I had a lovely leg
of salmon.
There you go. How much more, doc? Okay.
Is that it? Just one last sentence to
Okay. You're kind of giving a well, this
is a this isn't
serious time I get. What's doing this by
off script? Okay. Anyway
What else? Overall,
Epstein Barr virus is one of the most
common and medically important viruses in humans.
Wow. Even though the infections are very mild
and really don't mean much
because they're carcinote cancer causing
carcinogenic Oh, it's not good. And autoimmune disease
causing, they have to be watched and hopefully
treated one way or another. Wow. That's it
now. Okay. I think I get the Epstein
file very well.
There's lots of people mentioned in there. I'm
not one of them. You aren't either that
we know of yet.
Lacey, there's a nudist convention in town next
week. You should go if you've got nothing
going on. I put it together.
Good response. Not like that about you.
Alright. Thank you, doctor. That was very interesting.
Now we know more about the kissing disease.
I don't think I've had. I've never had
any sores in my tongue or nail. I
really haven't. Maybe
So you feel sore. You're doing
Oh. I could have somebody wasn't listening. Okay.
Yeah. Okay. Sorry. Today's guests are returning guests
that have been on the show fairly recently.
They were both so interesting, so captivated, and
so darn talented
that we had to have them back on

Lacey and Yana, where were you
each separately born and raised?
Do you wanna start? Yeah. One of you.
You start, Jan. Me start? Yeah. May start.
Jano. That's Jano. I'm actually Bulgarian.
I was born in a little town next
to the Turkey border,
and I've lived here for nineteen years this
year. So And you didn't start playing until
I barely start playing about six years ago.
Comes down to that. Macy gave you old
Betsy or something? She didn't give me old
Betty. Old Betty. Old Betty. Old
Betty. I don't even know where that guitar
is. Right? Oh, so Bulgaria
to here. Yes. I have a lot of
accent, but it doesn't really show when I
sing, which is interesting. Yeah. People say they
don't have that. So We have noticed that
because But I grew up in a, you
know, musical family, and that's always been a
music has been always a love of my
life. Family still in Bulgaria? Yes. Alright. And
grandma told me, stop singing. You're never gonna
get anywhere. I was like,
How about you, Lacey?
I was born,
by default in Salinas,
California. K. My mom was down there with
my dad while she was pregnant with me
for a job that they were doing. But,
basically, we have lived here almost my whole
life. Right on. Gold Beach. Gold Beach. Yes.
Gold Beach, Perkins area. Yeah. Cool. How fun
is that? Okay, Doug. Okay. So
you lived here, so nothing brought you here
but living here. How about Yana? What brought
you here?
I
came to work so I can pay for
my college, and eventually, I got married to
her what is it? Seventh cousin by seventh
knee? I don't even know. He's my cousin.
It's better that you didn't marry your cousin,
though. Right? So that's better. No. She did
not. Not. We're all from Missouri. No. I
fell in love, and, you know, we did
the whole marrying the, you know, thing. And,
you know, the rest followed. I had to
learn how to drive and all these other
things, and just life carried on. Yeah. We
did a lot of it. We wasn't hanging
out until 2018,
literally. Yeah. No. We've known each other for
a long time, but just I was at
your wedding. Yes. You were.
I had the pictures of it. I wasn't
at yours, though. Rude.
Nobody was.
What a dynamic. We did to Reno.
Well, he went to Reno. We went to
Reno. I'll tell anybody. I heard about it
from a phone call from his mom.
She was in Mexico. Yeah.
So but yeah. So we connected at a
Super Bowl party in 2018.
Yeah. I had been writing for a while,
and I'd wrote a song about my parents,
called I Still Miss You. And I was
super excited because before,
my mom had passed away, she would always
tell her brother, who's, like, her best friend
that I was work trying, like, trying to
write songs. And I couldn't play guitar when
she was still alive. Couldn't sing, couldn't do
any of the things, but I just had,
like, these ideas in my head. So I'd
write them down. I'd give her my lyric
sheets is what I called them. Right. And
so he had come to visit, and she'd
be like, look at what she's doing. Look
at what she's doing. She was so excited.
He'd be like, okay. I'm like,
looks excited. Yeah. She was like, suck. Eye
roll. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I was really
proud of it, and I just wanted to
share it with him because he was, like,
her best friend. And he's, like, my favorite
uncle. And she made us cry. Not only
do you guys
both play the guitar and both sing, you
also both write your own songs. This is
I mean, pretty much every single song is
homemade
by one or the other or together. Right?
Together. Right? Together as
well. Which is cool. To hear some of
these, and we will get to that. But
we have about five, to three minutes. And
then we can bust into one of your
songs at that point, and then we can
play the rest of the half. However you
wanted to go. Yeah. We only told you
four but then we changed just before we
went on air, we asked you to do
five and that they've agreed to do five.
All original work, all original songs. What gets
inside your head, Lacey? How do you write
your do you write your music first or
then or do you listen write a poem
first and then put it to music? It
kind of just depends. Sometimes you can like,
if sometimes I'll be messing around with just
different random chords and I'll hear something that
I like and then it'll kind of grow
from there. But a lot of the times
when I write, it comes from a personal
experience or an idea or a thought or,
like, some cool line that I heard somebody
say at some point in time, and it
just always, like, wormhole
and just
just play around with an idea. It'd be
both. I think, Yana, you said that last
time you were on that it was kind
of a combination of both. It's similar. Yes.
It's based on you play some music on
a guitar and you find some
progression, and I was like, oh, what does
this remind me of? Is it sad? Is
it happy? Is it, you know, silly?
Right on. I've written some silly stuff too,
but also very serious. A lot of your
words are, you know, having shots,
drinking whiskey,
taking on a cowboy. Call the style fermented
folk. I give my carbs a fermented
folk. That's what I'm talking about. Folk. And
I was like, we made it up. I
don't know.
Fermented folks.
You two are are so talented. Should we
get right into it? Yeah. Let's do it.
Let's let's get you in. We have, wait.
We got ten minutes to break, but let's
have you play one song and we could
talk about it. Before you do it, what
what is the name of the song you
wanna play? Mister Cooper? Hot Cooper? Hot Connor.
Hot Connor. I think I was gonna die
as well. Shoot. Okay. And and you played
this down at the Porta Pines South Beach,
last couple weeks ago? Yes. Yeah. It's about
a guy that just says a hot bod
and Okay. So,
okay, his name is Connor O'Dwyer,
and
he, like, probably over a decade ago,
he was always, like, running through town, through
Gold Beach, half naked, just, like, just super
super hot, super sweaty.
And all the girls, nobody would say Connor's
name without saying hot Connor.
And Yeah. So,
we were kind of joking around one day,
and I was like, we should write a
song about hot Connor because, like, I thought
it was so funny because I personally don't
think that he is
as hot as everybody exclaims he is. I
think he's great because he's got a great
personality. He's very attractive and everything, but I'm
just not like, oh my god, Connor.
But Didn't he get married to his first
cousin or something? No. No. No. No. No.
No. No. We're not gonna get that rumor
started. No. Let's not do that to him.
Don't.
Just hoping for some shoes to come. Together
with a girl called Jan, Jennifer, and she's
an amazing photographer. And they finally just got
married last year after nineteen years of engagement
or whatever that they're supposed to be. Forever.
Uh-huh. But he doesn't run to town anymore?
Not that I've seen. Okay. No. He doesn't
run anymore.
He works for ODOT now. Yeah. Oh, no.
No. That's a part of the lyric in
that song.
But in the beginning, he was a construction
worker, I think, before he got a job
at ODOT. He was a construction worker. I'm
gonna say this. I'll give you an excuse
here because they have not practiced this. They
were planning on for the four. So this
is gonna be the first lead off on
their songs, Hot Connor,
by the Rogue Strings, Yanna and Lacey here
at the KCAW studio. So, yeah, go ahead.
You'll you'll do fine. Can I correct you?
It's we named it Ode to Connor because
we have another song that's called The Hot
Cop.
A Hot Cop.
That's even funnier than anything. Oh, we could
do the Hot Cop. We should do the
Hot cock song.
Yeah, you wanna do the hot cock. Do
the hot cock. This is a hot cock.
Okay, the hot cock. You can hear
Ode to Connor on our Spotify account. Oh,
yeah, that's how. We have Apple Play and
Spotify. It's called Ode to Connor. It's produced
in the studio. And I'm the drums. I'm
super happy about it. And it's kinda named
after the Rogue River, where you're from here
in Gold Beach. I really think it was.
So Rogue Strings, look them up. They're all
over the place. Let's hear about a hot
corrupt cop. Hot cop.
So I was I have to tell you
the story because it's really funny.
It started with me paying my paying my
electric bill at the Go Beach County
Electric Place,
and an undercover cop in a gray charger
pulled somewhere over right there. Yeah. Undercover. It
wasn't a marked vehicle. It was great. So
I sat there for a while. It was
a hot summer. They had one of the
kids in the bag. The other one was
in school. Anyway, I'm sitting there.
I can't leave. People are slowing so, so
slow. Like, I can't leave, and I have
a good, you know, behind view. And then
he comes to my window. He tilts his
hat. He's like, you know, I'm gonna leave
so you can go. And I was like,
thanks.
So I'm going home. I'm driving home, and
I can't stop thinking about just what happened
ten minutes of my time as I was
sitting on the parking lot. Staring at a
cop's butt. Staring at the so anyway, I
have this little melody in my head that
goes like this. He had a pretty great
charger on the cover cup. Sorry, but I
couldn't help clumpy. Look at your butt.
Okay.
Then I go to Lacey's house the next
day. I was like, this is what happened.
She's like, we should we should write a
song about it. And I'm like, nah.
So, like, every time that she come over
for months, I'd say, can we work on
that song idea? Like, I don't I don't
like the melody. I like the idea. Wow.
And,
she didn't. She's like, no. No. Let's do
something else today. Let's do something else today.
So I ended up writing it. So this
is my my lyrics to
her. Neil's like her yeah. Oh, okay. We
got seven minutes till the break, so you
got up to seven minutes, but it is
part of about four or five minutes. Oh,
that's probably Yeah. Okay. Sure. I have to
keep them up. Hot, hot by Road Strand.
Yeah.
Yana, G, Laub and Lacey Young.
He was looking pretty good in the knee.
Oh, that's the wrong song.
That tequila's kicking in. It's okay. What's my
words?
It's looking pretty good. No. Goddamn it. It's
gosh darn it. See what happens? Oh, we
didn't have a breakfast in my words.
I was waiting on trumpet. I got it.
I got it. I got it. Here it
comes. The start of the story. I was
waiting on traffic,
sunshine baiting down. He walked up to my
window, so I rolled it down.
So damn cute in that shade of blue.
Yeah, girl. You know I think I saw
him too. And the way that he was
talking had me thinking, God he stopped me.
Jail couldn't be that bad.
Couldn't take my eyes off. I shouldn't say
hated him to go off him walking away.
I didn't look away, couldn't help myself.
Yeah, girl. You and everybody
else. I'd be a starlight bandit if he'd
chase me around. A real bad girl if
he'd hold me down.
I'll bet he's real good. When he goes
undercover, there's a thing or two. I'd help
him discover no need
Oh,
what should I do to spend just a
little more time with you? And, oh, I
think you should know. You got my heartbeat
beating out of control the way you got
me fantasizing.
I ain't gonna lie. Coulda wrote 50 Shades
of Grey.
I'd put that book to shame. I believe
in you. You believe in me too.
I'll bet he's real good. When he goes
undercover,
there's a thing or two. I help him
discover no need for evidence. I'm ready to
confess.
Just slap the handcuffs
on.
I used to be a good girl, but
he got me wanting to break the law.
I used to be a good girl, but
he got me wanting to break the law.
Wow,
he can frisk me,
pat me down, make me walk the line,
then turn around.
Honestly, I was gonna do anything he asked
me to do at that point. Fuck. Samezies.
Right.
I'll bang his real good. When he goes
undercover, there's a thing or two. I'd help
him discover no need for evidence. I'm ready
to confess. Just slap the handcuffs
on.
I used to be a good girl, but
he got me one and she'd break the
law.
I used to be a good girl, but
he got me wanting to break the law.
I used to be a good girl. I
used to be a good girl. Ask her
I was a good girl. Let's go break
the law.
Woo woo.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Congratulations.
What
a fun song. Did I tell you? They
were most fun. The dynamic duo, they really
cook while they sing and have fun. Thank
you. So about the hot cop Very cool.
I like he was an undercover cop, but
you were changing the under the cover kind
of like the big cover. Yes. Yeah. Yes.
Thank God. He was from the Kings actually
also. That's what I meant when I was
saying earlier to, like, take kind of innocent
situations and Have you seen him since? Them?
No. No. You haven't seen him since? Because
he's on our cover. Yes. Yes.
But I hope that we I hope that
we find him in the crowd someday and
that we can say that he's the inspiration.
Wow.
Hilarious. I'll probably be breaking that his behind.
Yeah. Probably more so than his face. How?
It's like, wait. Turn around.

Hey. Yeah. We did. We ordered all Oh

tell you. It's gonna be it's gonna be
tough to judge because I look at their
lineup of bands and Oh, it's gonna be
crazy. Really and it has to be all
original songs. Yes. That's a big caveat of
this. We like that. Yeah. And how do
you keep all these songs in your head?
No. I know. We don't know. Wow. You
saw what happened. Well That'll mix up our
lyrics. To be fair, I just had the
fifth song. So okay. What are we gonna
hear again? It's gonna be
so this is called Hard to Mind Your
Business in a Bar and
Longest nickname ever. So long. So, like, the
idea I first started because long time ago,
actually, I texted a group of girlfriends, and
I was like, give me some of your,
like, dirty bar stories because my sister was
a bartender and stuff. And so I was
wanting, like, some real specific,
ideas, story lines. And so when Yann and
I started working on this together, we decided
we well, well, nobody gave us anything really
good to work with anyway. So we decided
we were gonna just make it, like, Yeah.
A story. Yeah. Just a very neutral
neutral kind of thing. So it's not really
about anybody.
Yeah.
I could just I just just picture us,
picture, like, a dark bar, and we're sitting
in a booth drinking. And then there's a
guy at the at the bar by himself,
and this hot girl walks in and walks
up next to him. And we know that
he's married, and he's flirting with her, and
then the wife comes in. And, you know,
like, when you're in a dark bar and
the door opens and the person that's coming
is all silhouetted, and there's, like, just a
light pouring. That's, like, what I see whenever
we play on a song. You know, Michael
Gorst did the the Young and Restless or
what was it? One Day at a Time?
No. Young and Restless. The Young and Restless,
he was a cameraman with Oh. During that
during the soap opera. So he knows the
soap opera. Okay. This sounds good. Alright. Yeah.
Let's hear about it.
Alright. Ready? Mhmm.
Two, three, four.
She walked in the bar looking like trouble,
sat next to him, so he ordered another
drink.
That boy don't think, no he ain't, dumbass.
Look in her eyes driving him crazy, that
kind of smile he hasn't seen lately. Girl,
you're gonna get him hurt. Ouch.
Mom always said,
you better mind your ride.
But it's hard to mind your business
in a bar.
Yeah. It's hard to mind your business
in a bar.
Rumors fly and everyone knows small town drama
makes a good show.
Yeah, it's hard to mind your business in
a bar.
I would. Right?
Next thing you know the white box in.
Both of us have been waiting for this.
Oh lord. Oh lord. We're gonna need one
more or two or three. Mama always said,
you better mind your home.
But it's hard to mind your business
in a bar.
Yeah, it's hard to mind your business in
a bar.
Rumors fly and everyone knows small town drama
makes a good show.
Yeah, it's It's hard to mind your business
in a bar.
He didn't see it coming, but we sure
did. She had him crying like a little
bitch.
And that's the way it goes. What else
do you do you expect?
More love of the story you don't wanna
miss. You act like that. You deserve what
you get. You ought to know
about Girl Code. Girl Code. Mama always said,
mind your own,
but it's hard to mind your business
in a bar.
Yeah, it's hard to mind your business in
a bar.
Wow.
Was that mod phone? And it's so funny.
I heard a tempering, and I said, where
is that coming from? Who am I supposed
Michael, were you filming the the her red
she's got, like, Dorothy's,
red shoes. Mhmm. And a I have my
sparklies.
Yeah. I have my sparklies.
Oh my god. So the little bling there
on that boot, that cowboy boot, but that
is a trademark working today. Yeah. And you're
tapping your foot on it. Oh, this is
great. Speaking of working, are you also you
work at the,
information center? Or I work at the Gold
Beach Visitor Center as the lead slash director.
You are the Very important role. Yeah. Well,
good. And you are air telling all these
tourists that are coming in, so they come
in five rounds right now, but I will
be organizing some events in the summer. Have
you ever had any Bulgarians walk in? Not
yet. Not yet. They're on their way. Germans?
I'll still tell them. Germans? Yes. Yeah. They're
everywhere. I say.
Cool. Well, what a fun song. That guy
that guy got everything he deserved, that darn
guy,
playing around like that. Okay.
Wonderful. What else do we have now?
We have a song that,
we're gonna throw this song. It's a serious
song that we really love. Mhmm. It's called
Six Feet on There. And during when COVID
hit and I woke up this one day
and I keep hearing this chanting in my
head.
Six feet under.
And I I told her about it. So
we spent
some time on the beach, and we walked,
talked about it, talked, walked, and then because
they're trying to figure out exactly, like, what
we wanted, what direction we wanted to go
in. At one point, I was like, are
we like, are we killing somebody in this
song? Like, what are we denying? That. And
she's like, no. I don't think so. I
was like, okay. Because if Carrie Underwood could
do it in two black Cadillacs, like, we
can totally do it too. That's fine. And
but when we're walking on the beach one
day,
I remembered what Yana had said to me
when we first started working together,
and it was that she wants to leave
her thumbprint in the sands of time. And
it was a very specific,
comment, and it really stuck with me. And
so I'd like because I felt that too.
It really resonated. I just had never put
it into those words.
And so I was like, well, what about
making it about that? Like, what about using
that? Can we use that as the whole,
like, base for this? Because I think it
is really important for people
to leave something of themselves behind, and I
think especially as musicians too. Right on. Like,
that's why we write this stuff and we
share and we want to connect with people
and leave some something. Something behind. Yeah. Something
bigger than ourselves.
Very, very beautiful.
Well said. Okay. The name of the song
again is Six feet under. Six feet under.
I stopped
counting
what I put.
Whiskey
ain't working
anymore.
I need something stronger.
I need something stronger
to help me walk the way.
No one
understands how their
story
ends. But when I'm six feet under, I
can rest his and my words
will carry on. When I'm six feet under,
all that will matters.
I left
my thumbprint
in the sands of time
as a part
of music history.
Embracing
my tears
and mistakes.
I guess an empty bottle is what it
takes. Face
seen all my fears.
Facing all my fears.
Can't just run away.
Since I can't take
Wow.
Why? I'm
emotional.
I'm here like
close to tearing up. What would you say
about their songs? If they're harmonizing, he's the
Harmonist. I'm not. But there's such a thing
as a Harmonist.
You like harmony. I love harmony. Yeah. Man,
that was so good. That is so touching.
Bring that. You're gonna be play that at
the Yes. Mhmm. Folks. You get a chance
to see these incredibly talented ladies. You I
was so emotionally invested in that song. I
forgot to videotape it. Darn it. Good. No.
That's what I wanted to hear. Yes. But
Michael Michael,
Gorsuch got it all on film. So thank
you, Michael, for that. But thank you for
that song. It's a good song.
Wow. You have the entire world ahead of
you. I I really believe I really think
you're gonna go big places, and it's just
a matter of time. Thank you. Hopefully, the
sooner the better. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. We
have we have five minutes. No. We have
fifteen minutes. Sorry.
We got plenty of time. Plenty of time.
We got plenty of time. We got plenty
of time. I was gonna mention this song
is also available on Spotify, and it was
a funny story because I was so picky
about the baseline.
And we we rendered it, like, three times.
Yeah. The How's it? I don't like this.
I don't like this. I'm so picky.
Yeah. Our engineer, our sound tech guy, he
was like, what you are hearing is not,
like, appropriate for what what it was Something
was the real thing. And I was like,
I wanna stand up bass player.
Anyway, Ryan's doing a great job of doing
the bass player. Right. Right. But I've been
thinking about the songs.
A big shout out to Ryan and and,
Ty. Ty's doing a really settled drum there.
It's pretty good. Yeah. I'm excited about that.
We never had a full band.
So it's kinda very cool. It's new it's
new to us. So very nice. That there
are gonna be the switch outs between the
bands. People say, I don't wanna be there.
They're really good. Redwood Records just puts it
together. They have all the sound equipment. Everything
goes they just switch in and out Oh,
literally. Quick. Yeah. Yeah. It was, like, five
minutes. Right. You know, and Damien, who's in
charge of all of Oh, yeah. Damien. Gonna
go down Friday and do a sound check.
And he said once he's got he'll have
his programmed kind of in, so it'll be
just super fast. And since we're
just two guitars, basically, and Right. So it'll
be super fast. Because, yeah. And and,
Ty or Ty's drums. Yes. Yeah. And then
Ryan is gonna be Bass. Mhmm. How about
the underwear cop? I mean, the undercover cop.
Sorry. Hopefully, he shows up too. That keeps
spontaneous.
The underwear cop. Underwear.
Captain Underpants.
My boys read that book all the time.
Oh my goodness gracious. I did. That came
out spontaneously. Okay. It's really funny. What's the
next treat that we get to hear? Folks,
I hope you're enjoying this as much as
BR. This is fabulous having Rogue Strings, Lacey
and Yana in the studio. What do we
got next?
We are gonna play,
Hoan Church.
Oh, so Hoenn
Sweating like a Hoenn shirt. Like a Sweating
like a Hoenn shirt. Yeah. I think when
I first heard you sing that, right, I'm
and I knew it was infectious right away.
So how did that one come along for
you? We were we were up the creek,
one summer. For verbal. For verbal. So we
have kids. Yeah. We're eating the guitar. Yeah.
We had we'd taken,
like, snacks and drinks and whatever, and we
were just up at the creek hanging out
playing guitars and messing around. And it was
really hot. And my husband has said,
so hot. I'm sweating like a hoe in
church, like, so many times. And I said
it, and she'd never heard of it before.
And so she started laughing really hard. And
I was like, what? Because it's just, like,
normal to me.
And, she's like, we should write a song
about that. And I was like, we can't
write a song about that. She goes, yes,
we can. And so then we ended up,
like, kind of messing around with the idea.
And then she ended up coming and staying
at my house that night. Stayed the night.
Oh, okay. Stayed until, like, two in the
morning. I was just, like, having so much
fun. Just, like In her laundry room. Yeah.
And but then but then we moved into
the the other end of the house because
we woke up your kid. My little oh,
but he was I don't know how old
was he. And he was like, you guys
are so loud. And I was like, go
back to bed.
We're we're right now. Sweating over the shirt.
We are working really hard. We pretty much
had the whole song ready within the one
night. I think it was so fast. It
just came together. It came together. It's like
a it's an anthem. It really is an
anthem. It will be an anthem. I truly
believe it will. It's, it it's universal. It
just stands up. And you get to hear
it live right now or listen later, and
