Labor Day Laughs, Bluegrass Banter, and Workplace Woes: A Hilarious Holiday Special
Ever fantasized about ditching your dreary desk job for a light-hearted gig at McDonald's or a local convenience store? Join us for a rollicking Labor Day weekend where we kick things off by sharing our workplace grievances and clowning around with hypothetical job switches. We then take you to the vibrant Happy Valley Fiddlers Convention, where the energy is as infectious as our banter. Along the way, we sprinkle in our irreverent takes on Kamala Harris's latest interview and the West Nile virus scare.
Expect the unexpected as we meet Ludwig, a retired German journalist with a deep love for bluegrass music. Our discussion with him delves into the legacy of the legendary Doyle Lawson and the success of his band's new iteration, Authentic Unlimited. We share our own eclectic music tastes and even flirt with the wild idea of mixing bluegrass with rap. Plus, we highlight the charm and accessibility of community-based music gatherings, proving that sometimes the best experiences are free.
From outrageous workplace rumors to playful name-calling, we wrap up the episode with some laugh-out-loud moments. Ever heard of "Manufactured Home Communities"? We poke fun at the rebranding of trailer parks and share our own hurricane prep fiascos. The hilarity continues as we recount being booted from all-you-can-eat buffets and decode bizarre British sayings. Tune in for witty commentary and relatable frustrations that make this episode a must-listen!

Bluegrass Music Festival Conversations
Speaker 2And I'm sitting at home one day last year around this time and I get this little car keeps going by the house and it looks like they're looking for something . Someone looking for Dooley's Grave again or something . Another stranger , yep , yep , another stranger .
Speaker 3So I should become a tour guide .
Speaker 2Yep , I run out stranger so I should become a tour guide . Yep , I run out there and I meet this guy . His name is Ludwig Hello Ludwig and he's from Germany and he was on a walkabout , as he called it , for five months , where he's a retired journalist . He was a very interesting gentleman and he said that he comes out here . I asked him what brought him out here and he said I like the area and mostly the bluegrass background . Well , he said bluegrass . I'm like hey , have you ever been to the Fiddler's Convention ? He said that's why I'm out here . Well , he was going to go and everything and he got to telling me about . He asked me if I knew Doyle Lawson .
Speaker 2And I'm like , of course I know Doyle Lawson In bluegrass , who doesn't and he said , well , Doyle Lawson retired and they , the members , formed another band and they decided that they were going to . They had to do something . And I see it on an interview where one of the guys said the reason they had to do something was because they had to get back making all the millions of dollars .
Speaker 3Okay , right , you can imagine that .
Speaker 2But he decided that he wanted to make this band . But he decided that he wanted to make this band and after Doyle had retired from what they had once called Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver . Now , those of you who don't know , doyle Doyle was like 19 years old when he played with people like JD Crowe and the Country Gentlemen .
Speaker 3Okay .
Speaker 2And that was when he was 19 years old .
Speaker 3This was a while ago , yeah .
Speaker 2Okay , and so until 1979 , around there he formed the band Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver where they did mostly gospel-based bluegrass . And that was always one of the most important parts about his background was he wanted to stay gospel-based , and so he got together with some of these boys and formed Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver until around 1980 . Then he retired just recently . He formed it in 1979 , 1980 . Then just recently retired , back in 22 , somewhere in there , and these other guys decided they were going to move on . They had to do something else . So they formed a band called Authentic , unlimited and that name doesn't really roll off the tongue it really doesn't .
Speaker 3I gotta be honest , we're both struggling to remember since you've told me this and I can never remember I always want to say authentic , unlimited , and listen to some of the videos you sent me . Yeah , some of the videos I do like their music . Like I said , I like bluegrass in the right atmosphere , right you know me , I'm more of a rock guy . I always have been right . But I appreciate different music , right and , like I said , bluegrass . If I'm in the right setting somewhere like an outing , you know .
Speaker 2You know what I'm talking about exactly mingling with people you know yep , having a good time with friends like an old old timers convention exactly you got .
Speaker 3You're talking to people getting advice on stuff while this music's in the background , or or even just sitting there just drinking my beverage , watching them , listening , getting into it . It's pretty cool .
Speaker 2Yeah , pretty cool . But yeah , and a lot of these . Here's what I find most impressive about the band Form Authentic Unlimited . Their first two albums debuted in the top five of the Bluegrass Music Awards .
Speaker 3Okay .
Speaker 2And they won . I think it was this year , 2024 , they won New Artist of the Year Already .
Speaker 3They're new .
Speaker 2Yeah , because fairly new oh okay , in 2022, . They formed Okay . In 23, . They had two albums come out in the top five .
Speaker 3This seems like new means . New to me , Right 2024 .
Speaker 2But then also they had two albums at the same time . They were working on two albums at the same time . When they did all this , it was amazing . They're very , very scoped on what they love and what they want to do , and I think that's what I do like the harmonizing . I got beautiful harmonizing . I like that . It is so good , good on their instruments .
Speaker 3The musicianship is the best .
Speaker 2I appreciate that it takes a special person to play a mandolin .
Speaker 3There's some songs I've listened to that are a little too mellow for my liking .
Speaker 2Yeah , bluegrass does get kind of slow .
Speaker 3Some . I don't mind , though , but some it's just .
Speaker 2Well , let's think about old-timey bluegrass . Most of the bluegrass that was played was for solemn purposes like deaths .
Speaker 3Well , there was a lot of bluegrass mixed with . I like that uppity-uppity bluegrass . Well , everyone who knows , me , I'm having a good time .
Speaker 2Everyone who knows me knows I love any kind of genre of music . I don't get into a lot of rap .
Speaker 3Me either New country .
Speaker 2I know a couple rap songs that click in my mind , it's just . I don't mind the beats on a lot of them , it's just when they repeat the stupid stuff over and over and over If there's any rap , if there's any rap people out there , I would like to suggest maybe this little opportunity I'm going to put a coin in your pocket . If you can come up with a way to do bluegrass rap , you're probably going to be alright , so if you think you need to rap , do it to bluegrass , send it to me .
Speaker 2I'll let you know whether it's going to be all right or not , because I do have a critic that wants to hear that so you know time as you're talking here and I'm looking at some stuff .
Speaker 3This is a free event yeah , cost nothing but gas to get there yeah , that's impressive . Yeah , and they bring , as we talked about concert ticket prices so many times- before A lot of local people who just play around in their basement . Sounds like a good family event .
Speaker 2It is . It's wonderful . The one thing I did notice when I drove by this morning they have big tents and stuff with stuff for sale and a lot of flags , American flags . I'm seeing a lot of American flags .
Speaker 3Well , you should have been there last night , buddy , and that was awesome . They had a joke contest .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 3Storytelling with Rob McHale . Yeah , they had a cake walk and more Well see .
Speaker 2The problem was I would have out , told them in the joke suit I would have won that with no shoot , that's okay . And then cake on that one , don't you ? That's okay . And then cake . You know I'm going to eat cake .
Speaker 3No , it's a cake walk .
Speaker 2I'd walk anywhere for cake .
Speaker 3Oh , alright then .
Speaker 2So you know , it wouldn't work out here .
Speaker 3That does sound like a decent time . I'm looking at today's event Junior Appalachian musicians Right Showcase flatfoot dance workshop .
Speaker 2Well , that's like a clogging thing .
Speaker 3I'm flatfooted , yeah , so I could dance .
Speaker 2You could attempt .
Speaker 3But I'm flatfooted . It says flatfooted .

Speaker 3And then they swap them . I don't like mine here , have mine .
