Lydia is from Idaho. Growing up, never was a hunter. But, she loved the outdoors. Art has always been inspired by her journeys to the mountains. She decided she wanted to learn how to hunt. That's all it took. Now, she takes every advantage to be in the outdoors, hunting as much as she can. Oh, and she's also a champion elk caller, too. Learned that quickly just like she did hunting. Enjoy!

Taking you to the way back machine to catch up with Lyndsey. I had the opportunity to meet Lyndsey many years ago. When she was just a girl playing hockey in Arizona. Fast forward 15 years and she has accomplished so much. From playing in the desert, going cross the country to attend Harvard as well as play for the women's hockey team. Then, on to the US women's Olympic hockey team. Winning a silver at the 2014 Olympics. And, today, she is back in Arizona doing as a radio color analyst for the Arizona Coyotes. She is the face of women's hockey in the state of Arizona. An inspiration to all of the young girl hockey players there. And, she also started a charity called, Skatin for Leighton. Enjoy!

Today's episode features Dr Tim Jay from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. He's retired now. But, his work still lives on. We discuss how he decided to come up with this study. His findings, how it is different today with language being communicated through text, social media, his friendship with the legendary comic, George Carlin - he loosely based his "Seven Words You Can't Say on TV" bit on Tim's work. Great interview. Great guy. Good times were had. Now, let's see if you are, in fact, borderline genius. Or, just a moron. Enjoy!
