Food, Porn, & Stories is Our SkillsetSunday, October 3
The gals have a civilized conversation about nut busting...(walnuts & pecans of course) & collared green soda...which leads to more brainstorming product ideas. Along the way we hear about Byron's trouble in the garden, winter crops, their thoughts on code-switching & how much they love okra. Alicia declares that watching apples dry into faces is better than watching the damned news lately.. They must have been hungry!

Desk clerks are heartless - porno edition
The gals talk about their travels & experiences with hotel life. Byron tells about the time she  "went full on Appalachian" at a hotel in Ohio, which prompts Alicia to start spilling the beans   about what really goes on behind the scenes...
Along the way. Byron apologize to Asheville hookers from the 80's, Alicia tells even more   juicy tales, & we learn about the erotic tour of  Asheville...
Obiviously yall, this episode is NSFW.  Don't even  think about listening if you get offended easily...

In this episode, Byron declares that it's been a rough week, even though it's only Wednesday..
Heat, daily storms,  Covid, and staying home too much is dragging them down! There's talk of green beans & road trips--maybe even a visit to the local porn shops…(yes, porn not pawn!)..
The gals want to know how you are doing, and what crafts are you working on?

"Hard Times"
written by
Gillian Welch & Dave RawlingsThere was a camp town man, used to plow and singAnd he loved that mule and the mule loved himWhen the day got long as it does about nowI'd hear him singing to his muley-cowCalling, "Come on my sweet old girl, and I'd bet the whole damn worldThat we're gonna make it yet to the end of the row"Singing "hard times ain't gonna rule my mindHard times ain't gonna rule my mind, BessieHard times ain't gonna rule my mind no more"Said it's a mean old world, heavy in need.That big machine is just picking up speedThey were supping on tears, they were supping on wineWe all get to heaven in our own sweet timeSo come all you Asheville boys and turn up your old-time noiseAnd kick 'til the dust comes up from the cracks in the floorSinging, hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, brotherHard times ain't gonna rule my mindHard times ain't gonna rule my mind no moreBut the camp town man, he doesn't plow no moreI seen him walking down to the cigarette storeGuess he lost that knack and he forgot that songWoke up one morning and the mule was goneSo come on, you ragtime kings, and come on, you dogs, and singAnd pick up the dusty old horn and give it a blowPlaying, hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, honeyHard times ain't gonna rule my mind, sugarHard times ain't gonna rule my mind no more

Hot As All Get Out-Part 2
Coming Sunday August 16, 2020
Well, they are still going on about the groundhog. (It appears his days are numbered). Byron is almost finished "canning everything in the world". The harvest is coming in, magical oil is being put up, and neither gal is shy about their opinion on the state of today's world.. There's talk of bees and chickens.
PS-Do you know your state's official toast?.

Hot As All Get Out-Part 1
Dog Days are here & the gals are just about over.....well...they're just about over most everything these days.  It's a long episode, to go along with the long days of unrelenting heat, then rain, then heat, then some more rain.  At least Alicia is happy about the good mushroom crop this year, in spite of losing her temper earlier in the week (gasp!)  Byron is pushing on & the tales are flyiing in this longer than usual episode.
