Mrs. Allen joins me in our new home studio as we relaunch Garage Talk in its new form. Find out why we're doing it and what we plan on doing.

This is not one of my traditional episodes but I though it was worth sharing.  Our friend and country legend Pam Tillis joined us on KRRM.  Pam is one of the best people you will ever meet.

Ashley and I will host the new morning show 94-7 KRRM Your Brand of Country.  We talked about how this all came about and why decided to take a leap of faith.  We also rolled a live video at the same time and answer questions along the way.  This was a lot of fun!

Gretchen is a Special Education Teacher at Grants Pass High School.  She also put out a country music album, played college basketball, is a coach, and much more.  We talked about A LOT!  From the effects Covid has had on her students to pooping your pants and everything in between.  This episode is probably not for the kids.  You've been warned!  Enjoy!

Stepped into the garage for a few minutes to give a quick update on life.

Many of my friends have been affected by the fires in Oregon this year.  If you listened to Episode 009 you know that Joe is from Mill City, Oregon.  I wanted to have him back over so we could talk about what happened in his hometown and in the Santiam Canyon he once called home.  We discussed forest policy, a legendary environmentalist, the fall of once great timber towns, and much more.

Michael and I got together to talk about the Almeda Fire.  He is on the Phoenix School Board and his wife is a teacher at the high school where she was preparing for school to start when the fire broke out.  We discussed the devastation, emergency response, emergency preparedness, where do we go from here, and much more.

Find out how this amazing couple ended up leading the Josephine County chapter of Sleep In Heavenly Peace.  It all started with a video they saw of Mike Rowe while sipping coffee on their porch in Williams, OR.  The goal is NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN.  This episode covers so much more!  It's worth a listen.

Where do we start?  Ashley was a guest in the garage about 8 months ago.  Much has changed for her since then.  Covid-19 changed how we do our radio show together on Q100.3, how she does her job, and she also took on a part time job at a gym.  She has completely changed how she lives her life with fitness becoming a lifestyle.  We took a deep dive into all of the above over a bottle of Snoop Dogg wine.  Warning...there is some profanity!

Jaqi is one of my favorite people and she's also one of the nicest people you will ever meet.  She was a mechanic in the Army.  We talked about her tour in Bosnia in the early 2000's, music, tattoos, art, kindness, and more.  Enjoy!
