Welcome, millions upon millions, practical millions of faithful podcast listeners. We are your hosts, Jason Kimber and Dave Simmons. We'll bring you along with us as we share life stories from our experiences living in small towns, or in Jason's case, an unincorporated community.
SPEAKER_00That's true. Along with genius suggestions for solving world problems and a whole lot of laughs. This is the Small Towns Podcast.
SPEAKER_01Well, good morning, fellow podcast listeners. Jason Kimber back here with the incomparable.
SPEAKER_00I'm Dave Simmons.
SPEAKER_01Dave Simmons, yes. I sorry. I always I never know how to start at these. I every time I get a little bit of stage fright, and I don't quite know what exactly. It's a little awkward. It is a little awkward, and I always say incomparable, which is true. You are without compare.
SPEAKER_00Well, thank you. And I'd like to come up with something a little different one of these times. I'm gonna look for some some descriptive words that I would like you to use.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yes. Maybe like a little bit of an intro, if you will.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'll I'll write a little thing for you. Yeah. By the way, Jim, I have I've had, I don't, I'm not contagious. No, you're fine. You're fine. Yeah, I'm feeling fine. But I've had a uh bit of an issue.
SPEAKER_01Bit of a bit of a throat cold.
SPEAKER_00Bit of a throat cold. So if you get me laughing hard today, I'm gonna sound like a 90-year-old dude, but I'll go to the corner. Yeah, you just I'll just yak it out over there.
SPEAKER_01Just cough it into the corner. Yeah, well, I mean, this is live. I mean, what do you do? Yeah, listen, and we don't as as all of our our fellow listen our loyal listeners know, we do no editing.
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_01So if we hear a couple, we hear a cough, yeah. Um I always for I I shouldn't say I always forget, but there's a lot of things we've got to talk about. And I feel a little sheepish because I'm kind of the guy that posts these and I've been a little bit slack as of lately. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
SPEAKER_00We've got maybe two people out there that are waiting.
SPEAKER_01But but uh we just post- I mean, I realize that this date's not gonna mean anything to anybody, but we posted one just a few days ago. And we're gonna post another one here uh next week as well. And then we're anxious to get this one out as well before the holidays. And by the holidays, of course, I mean Christmas.
SPEAKER_00Well, you've just put yourself a little deadline there.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I just kind of timestamped everything. Yeah, you sure did.
SPEAKER_00And when it comes out in March, people are like, wait, you're crunching the numbers and it'll go, it doesn't work out. It doesn't work.
SPEAKER_01It doesn't work out. It's like, did I say Christmas 2023? I meant Christmas 2024.
SPEAKER_00You might might want to look at that.
SPEAKER_01Um, but speaking of, I mean, I'm not comparing anything uh as it relates to um your throat cold. I I get that. You've got a throat cold, and I and I want to be respective respectful of that. But just this morning, and I know we've already done an episode about ailments and maybe getting old, I took a bit of a tumble this morning.
SPEAKER_00You fell down?
SPEAKER_01I fell down.
SPEAKER_00Okay, here's my question. First of all, you can tell me the whole story. Yeah. Did your children laugh?
SPEAKER_01Well, I see, everybody would have laughed, however, and I said to Heather, I wish it actually would have been recorded because it would have been funny. But on the flip side, nobody witnessed it, which is fine.
SPEAKER_00Okay, because I feel like there's a time in life where if a man falls down and their children and his children laugh, he's still young. But if they don't laugh, you're to that age. Because I almost went down the other day and I looked at my sons and I said, now had I have gone down, would you have laughed, or would you have been, oh dad, are you okay? And they're like, no, I'd laugh. Okay, good. Yeah, I kind of want him to laugh. Although I would have been in extreme pain. Like if my dad went down, I'd be concerned. You'd be concerned. I'm like, Dad, are you okay? Okay.
SPEAKER_01Uh but I wouldn't like Well, I'm a little nervous that my girls and Heather, they have maybe slipped already into the uh are you okay phase? That's problem. That means you are old. It is so it and it was it was it was not graceful. I had to take the uh I had to take the snowblower down to get a little service down to iPacum. And they they do a great job down there, they get it all fixed up, starts right up. It's fantastic. I load it up, you know, you go there, they load it for you, they gotta ramp you back up too, and it's fine. But of course, getting it here, it's a bit more of a challenge to get it unloaded out of the back of the truck. Right. But I do have some ramps that I have. They just go right up on the tailgate. And I really should have started the snowblower because if you start the snowblower in the back of the truck and put it in reverse, it's in gear, and so it'll only it won't go too fast, it won't go too slow. It'll go in whatever the reverse speed. Does that make sense? Sure. I thought, well, I don't need to start it. You know, I'll just pull it out and I'm kind of walking behind it. I'm up on top of the ramps, and well, gravity is a thing, and so gravity was working very, very well, and it kind of got away from me, and I tried to back up the ramp as quickly as I could. Well, I finally I did get to the cement, however, it was icy, and I went all the way down on both knees, it came crashing down. I I held on to it for with all my might. I mean, I wasn't gonna let go of it, that's all the support that I had. But if I could paint the picture, it came crashing down and tipped backwards kind of on me, but I still had both of the handles in my grip. It looked as if I was praying to the snowblower itself. Okay, now there also is a very large um kind of a joystick on the snowblower that helps you to direct which way you're gonna throw the snow. You gotta be careful where that thing comes down. Right here, right in my cheek. Right in your face. Right at my face, right at my cheek, and I'll be. I mean, I don't think so, because I I first thought that was gonna be the worst. Yeah, give it a look. I thought it was gonna be the worst part of the injury. It turns out that was the least of my worries because that came down and I'm like, man, it could have like could like black my eye. Yeah, dental work, something. I don't know.
SPEAKER_00I take care of my all my own dental work always other than yours.
SPEAKER_01Well, you've never had a cavity, so it should be just fine.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm fine.
SPEAKER_01But uh then then all of a sudden my knees kind of hurt a little bit. And then Heather and I went on our Saturday drive where we go to McDonald's, grab a Coke and a sandwich, and just you know, talk about the week, do our thing. Yeah. And my right arm started to hurt and my back really started. I think I tweaked my back. Really? I think I threw my back out a little bit. Now I you know you wouldn't know it to look at me. I I feel uh I look great. Like a hundred dollars. Yeah. Do you want me to try to tweak that back in a while? I don't know, something. It's more of a it's more of a pull of the muscle, so I don't know. But I just I sat there and I'm like, Dave, oh I'm no chiropractor, but I'll take a look.
SPEAKER_00Getting old, buddy. I'm getting old. Yeah, if you I would like to think I wouldn't have laughed at you. But I feel like it's a good thing to laugh at somebody because that makes you think, nah, he's a young, strapping man. I would be fine.
SPEAKER_01Now that you've said the because you're exactly right. Like if if if your first reaction is concerned that's because the person that has fallen may not get up.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You break a hip at this age, exactly you're done. So I need a laugh out of you. Oh well, I'll start laughing actually. And I said to Heather, I'm like, I really do do wish somebody would have been recording that, because it would have been funny to watch back. So there were no workers? No. No. We were just this is my this is right here in my Oh here. It wasn't at iPad. No, I brought it home and it was unloading it.
SPEAKER_00And you just went down on your own.
SPEAKER_01Right in the front driveway.
SPEAKER_00Did you say anything out loud when you went down? I might have said a few. You know how I get it.
SPEAKER_01I know how you roll. You little colorful language here and there.
SPEAKER_00Well, it keeps you keeps you. Look, I got them all built up inside of me. Yeah. One of these days you go let loose. No, it's gonna be.
SPEAKER_01So I just can't let it go. Well, I I wouldn't if I were you, because I'm afraid if you the day comes that you let loose. I'm gonna turn the air blue. We think we got bad air quality here in Cache Valley. It's gonna be bad. Uh, this will be the weather burn. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, we have some swearing from a Dave Simmons.
SPEAKER_00This is unprecedented. It's coming up from the south.
SPEAKER_01And now the air quality isn't red. Um did a ship full of sailors just come on in?
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_01Sorry, now Can you hear the rasp? I can hear a little bit of the rasp.
SPEAKER_00I'd like to get this microphone right by my throat so you can actually hear the cackling going on. I'm like a witch.
SPEAKER_01Well, I did, and then I I feel a little superstood I refer to it as a throat cold, because that immediately just puts me at about age 80.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it is. To refer to anything as a throat cold. Got a slug of s of some sort of alcohol to now, guys.
SPEAKER_01Listen, that's funny. That was a little bit of a I I kind of gave gave away a our we got a big surprise today.
SPEAKER_00A big surprise. Probably the biggest we've ever had.

SPEAKER_03Thank you. Thank you.
SPEAKER_01Now, the reason um Bennett's got a lot of qualities. He's got a lot of fantastic qualities, but one of the number one reasons that I wanted to bring him on the show today is because I I really do think he is our number one fan, Dave.
SPEAKER_00If there's a bigger fan out there than Bennett. Prove it. I yeah, we want to see, we want to meet this person.
SPEAKER_01Just simply by me asking uh Bennett, how many how how often do you listen to the podcast? How how many times would you say you've listened to the podcast?
SPEAKER_03Well, I've done it a lot. Like when like when you hadn't like uh like posted like 51, 52, those guys I've listened to all 50 like twice. That sounds crazy. And then I've also like just gone on my favorite ones and just doing um and I've I've listened to 52 like a couple nights ago because we posted it.
SPEAKER_01We just read it posted too didn't we?
SPEAKER_03So I w I I listened to that and that that one was actually really good because I I love like the parades and all that.
SPEAKER_00Have you been to a parade with Jason?
SPEAKER_03Oh, we uh no, but I have been to a July parade.
SPEAKER_00Okay, you have got to go to a parade with Jason. He turns into the parade, he is the parade. Everybody else is going by, driving by, and everybody's watching Jason screwing at the floats and being pelted with bitter honeys the entire time. Oh, I do if only they would help me with bitter honey.
SPEAKER_01That's my favorite parade candy. You'll poke your eye out with those bitter honeys.
SPEAKER_03It's not it's kind of crazy how I kind of like the July 4th parade, because like it's always so hot there, but I love it because like some of my favorite things, like there's some floats, like there's like there's like a it's like a giant, it's a truck, and I think I can't remember what their name was, but I think they like wash off like maybe garbage chanc cans or whatever, uh-huh. And they actually like they use like the little like water sprayer thing and spray the cake. Spray you. And it's it's actually really it's super refreshing and nice.
SPEAKER_00I would like to I would probably take my shirt off. Oh well, I guarantee.
SPEAKER_03That's fun, that's fun for the whole.
SPEAKER_00For the whole movie. For the whole parade. Then I become the parade. Yeah, exactly. If somebody get me a float, I'm getting on that thing.
SPEAKER_03Like the the cop rolled Dave Simmons with his shirt off.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, surprise, surprise. Tell us something we don't know. Dave Simmons got his shirt off.
SPEAKER_00Have you guys ever been to parades when they throw uh otter pops?
SPEAKER_03Oh, I yes, like break.
SPEAKER_00You can't throw an otter pop and have it hit the ground and then you go to eat them and then they it's all over again.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, like I had like one of my like recent July 4th parade, uh like July like I've been to like the July 4th parade, and also some like sounds crazy, but in this whole world didn't know that. I bet there's some a lot of people out there that have July 4th birthdays and uh birthdays, and I'm one of them actually. You are? Yeah. Yeah, I have a July 4th birthday.
SPEAKER_00Then I'll be celebrating your birthday with fireworks. Exactly.
SPEAKER_03I know that's I I just love the fireworks, but back to the Otter Pops is like because like I remember like I put my Otter Pop in my bag, first mistake by me, and then like when I get home, it's just like I I just see all the juice. Like everything is super sticky. Like my toot my my Tootsie Rolls, it sounds good, they tasted kind of like the Otter Pops. Oh I know. So I'm like I'm like nasty.
SPEAKER_00How old are you, Bennett?
SPEAKER_03Uh I'm 11.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03And I'm in sixth grade. Since I have a like uh summer birthday, I'm a little younger than people in my class, but I it's fine.
SPEAKER_01Smarter. Yeah, yeah. He's sharp as a tack. He's sharp as a tack. I think I think he I think he gets it from me. I think you even say that there's a relation here? Yeah, he's my nephew. Did you say that? I think I said that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, sometimes sometimes I zone Jason out.
SPEAKER_01But yeah, fair enough. Sometimes I zone myself out. But in the spirit of full disclosure, this is Heather's younger brother, Matthews' son. Okay. Uh-huh. So he probably still does get it from me.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. I love the talk just like you. Like ever since you did the podcast, I I just I just love the podcast. It's awesome. I'm so glad to be on here.
SPEAKER_01Well, that's why we love having you here, buddy. But I want to I want to do a little surprise for Dave. And I I gave a little bit of warning about this, but you surprised me with this just last night or the night before. It was it was recent. But give me a give me a little flavor. Uh why don't you practice your Bulgarian on Dave? No way. Yeah, listen, buddy, he does. He speaks, it seems fluent, but you be the judge.
SPEAKER_03But like, so I memorized, I remember like it was in the like the movie like episode. I I can't remember what the number was, but like I remember I memorized what like they said in that thing. Is it so it this is like it's like Izvanistyo, Bozostju, we need style.
SPEAKER_00Actually, what you just you're speaking Russian.
SPEAKER_03Oh no.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's uh it's from spies like us when they accidentally launch a nuclear weapon. I know, I know you're saying that.
SPEAKER_03That's just so funny. I'm just waiting for the moment, like if like if like maybe like me and my friends accidentally get in trouble, I I have to like say to the person like Eastern Pulsosh to We just be so funny. Oh my gosh. So look at the moment, just like like where you like we're with Dan Gre like, was it Dan Green? Like to rip off your clothes and have a wrestling scene with it. Oh wait, no, that was you. That was you, sorry, that was you.
SPEAKER_00Fine. Dan is always up for a wrestling match. Yeah. Well, you have to be wearing a singlet at all times.
SPEAKER_01I think you could just show up on his doorstep. Davis threatened to do it. I have.
SPEAKER_00The problem is his Dan's way bigger than me, and he'd be up.
SPEAKER_01He wouldn't be too like that's so funny.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01What uh I I remember now, I'm glad you said that. I thought it was Bulgarian, but now of course I do remember. That's a great line from spies like us. What's the translation though? I can't remember.
SPEAKER_00It's like, excuse us. Um we're sorry.
SPEAKER_03We didn't know. And you have to like like incorporate the tone of that into like the like Izvanishu, Pozoshu, Winasty. Because like you have to like, you have to do it like it's like literally like, oh, Izvanishu, Pozosthu, Winasty.
SPEAKER_00That's true.
SPEAKER_03You have to do it like that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, excuse us, we're sorry. We didn't know it was a lot of things.
SPEAKER_01That's so funny. Bennett, um, that was a that was a great episode. I loved that one. That was a movie episode, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, yeah. Movie quotes.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, did you have a favorite one in that?
SPEAKER_03I mean, that's a pretty good one that you just did, but I don't know, like, favorite quotes, probably, there's a lot of good ones, and like I remember I think it was I think it was you guys said Back to the Future 2's like give him the dance, Grandma, or something like that. Hey, that's where are you going? I remember this one episode where you said that you like I think it was it your grandma that I think your siblings, uh my or cousins could lift her up and put her on top of the fridge. My uncles. Or your uncles.
SPEAKER_00I mean, she's just this little lady. Can you imagine saying mom and then picking your mom up, putting her on the fridge, and walking away?
SPEAKER_03He's like, somebody help me get down.
SPEAKER_01Listen, listen. I bet I'm impressed because like all of a sudden you're saying, we had a podcast where lifted some top of the fridge.
SPEAKER_00We meet him more often because then you'll say, You guys, you've already said that.
SPEAKER_01You've already said that. You've said it again. Uh-huh. Other favorite episodes, buddy. Feel free. Just turn it on to you for a minute.
SPEAKER_03Well, one of my favorite episodes is things we learned the hard way. And Dave, you had some pretty good ones that you learned. Learned some things.
SPEAKER_00I hope you're learning from this.
SPEAKER_03Been there, done that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like don't say things to your wife that we've accidentally said that we shouldn't say. Yeah, that's not good. We're here, this is public service. We're trying to help the younger generation.
SPEAKER_03And like, and also, I'll never like go to like a like I might instead I might like just ask someone like maybe my dad or my mom, like how to like strap a baby in into a car seat. Because I'm not gonna go to a person like that if they're like putting like if they say to put their legs and the arms through the the same hole. Like, ow!
SPEAKER_01Like, now that was on me. I feel bad because I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_03No, no, no, it's fine because I felt like that was her her fault.
SPEAKER_01Thank you, thank you. I make you feel better.
SPEAKER_03Because like like she was the one that carried that. You were you were just like uh new dads. You like you're just trying to like figure out how to get like get through all of it, like just and you know what it's just hard.
SPEAKER_00Kennedy's just fine. Yeah, well, she's fine, she only walks sideways a little bit. She's got that little bit of a lip, a little bit of a side.
SPEAKER_03She plays volleyball, she plays volleyball, so I so I don't I think she's fine. She'll be fine.
SPEAKER_00If she gets pulled over for drunk driving and she has to walk that line and she goes a little crooked, sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
SPEAKER_01Maybe I can get like a little card that she can pack in her wallet. My dad put me across very wrong. I think people have that, like if they got like a fake hip, like a like a metal hip, they gotta have a little card when they walk through the metal detector at the airport. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00How does a guy get one of those?
SPEAKER_01Do you have to have a phone? I think you gotta get a fake hip.
SPEAKER_03Speaking of fake, I remember it was in epit like like uh episode 52, talk about the fake belly buttons. That is, oh my god. No, no, no, no, there's no way I'm doing that. I am fine with how tall I am. I do not I do not care if my legs are longer. But if you I'm average, my mom says I'm average, so I'm like, oh, that's fine. I can't be average.
SPEAKER_01Average is funny. Plus, I mean, I think you've got I mean, you've got some growing years ahead of you, buddy.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And your dad's tall, so I think you're gonna be fine. But if not, again, you could just buy some high-waisted jeans and put that belly and wear them midrift. Maybe you could borrow Dave's midriff shirt. Yeah. But he wore this.
SPEAKER_02Has he seen that picture? I don't think he was.
SPEAKER_00I was about your age, and I was wearing a belly shirt.
SPEAKER_02Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_00It was bad. And I had shorts that are about that short, and my socks came up to my knees.
SPEAKER_02Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00I actually was for the day. I'm sure I was really stylish.
SPEAKER_01You that was like a like the ultimate fit check. Yeah, I'd like to start.
SPEAKER_03I'm trying to remember also, like, I remember you like did that episode about like like teenager like slang and like was it dapper? I can't remember what you said if you're like, oh, dripping, like you're dripping, you're dripping. Sorry, like uh he's dripping.
SPEAKER_00But the thing is like they changed so fast. I know. We need to do a a uh teen talk two episode updated. Because they've been saying some stuff at my house.
SPEAKER_01I'm like, that's not a word. Yeah, that's not I know. I feel like I heard one just the other day, but now it doesn't it does no good for me to say that because I can't remember it. If it was more than six months ago, it's probably out now. Yeah, it's like dad, don't say that. You can't say that. Do you have do you know any new ones, Bennett, that we missed? Pre-teen talk. Pre-teen talk.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, maybe I maybe I don't know. I haven't.
SPEAKER_01Are you what grade are you in, buddy?
SPEAKER_03I'm in sixth grade. So I'm not in the middle school. For my for like for sixth grade and like where I live, it's actually in elementary school, so that's probably why I haven't got much of a teenage slang yet.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, don't worry, it's coming. Give us some time. Give us some time.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I've been able to tell anyone. And I'll and also Jason and Dave, uh I hope I'll just cut you slack and I'll let you guys use all the words you want instead of like your two sons that said that like X'd yaw on everything.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's a real good guy. Yeah, listen, he's gonna rebound.
SPEAKER_03I'm not gonna be embarrassed. I'm not gonna be embarrassed. It's actually kind of cool sometimes.
SPEAKER_01That's what I've been saying in my chat. Oh my goodness. I I it's it's fun to kind of relive some of these episodes with you.
SPEAKER_03Like, speaking of like, like I remember I was gonna say this after like when it's like like after like the eight minutes you guys talking, just doing the intro, I was gonna say like if you fell down and I didn't witness it, or either to you, I'll like I don't want to make you feel old, but I feel like if I laugh, that makes it more rude though, almost like he's a better person than us. Well if you're if it's your if it's your kids, then but I don't know, still I don't know, because I don't want to make you guys feel old because you're not. Well I mean you're not in you're not in your 50s yet, so you're close.
SPEAKER_00Look, it's you look right. It's the bald spot. You look great, yeah. But I asked Susie cuts my hair. She does a great job. Well, she must be cutting that bald spot in. I think she likes it. Every cut just gets a little bit bigger. I really like that bald spot. I'm gonna keep it really thin up there. She's all like everyone's hands on your head. I've been trying to grow it in, but she's not living though, so that's that's her. That's crazy. Hey, Bet Bennett, have you seen have you seen the new Top Gun? It's PG 13, so you probably shouldn't have seen it.
SPEAKER_03No, I haven't really seen any of the Top Gun movies. But I bet. I want to watch it too, though.
SPEAKER_00Well, here is a song from that movie. Okay? Okay. I just want to see something. Let's play it.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You've all heard it, right? Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03I haven't, but but wait, we just wait for it.
SPEAKER_00Have you heard it?
SPEAKER_03No. I don't think I have.
SPEAKER_00It makes me want to grow a mustache. Oh yeah. You look good with a mustache. I feel like if I immediately want to grow a mustache and play some volleyball on the beach. Yeah, but you're without your shirt on. Without my shirt on. Actually, it might be football. But like you know how there's a line that you you've there's certain music that you've listened to and you was it wasn't there uh Neil Diamond or something that you used to sing that you that they got the the lyrics wrong? Yeah, the lyrics wrong.
SPEAKER_01It was like uh give me the beach voice, free my soul.
SPEAKER_00There's a word in here.
unknownI am running back.
SPEAKER_00Okay. I think they're saying Pete Rose.
SPEAKER_03I know, sometimes it's like it's hard to understand what they're actually saying in the song sometimes. Because like they're like singing so freaking fast.
SPEAKER_02I know.
SPEAKER_03Like faster than like some of my Spanish teachers have talked like because like like like people that that like Spanish, they talk super fast. Like like Senor Mejia, he's my fourth grade fourth grade and fifth grade Spanish, like Spanish teacher, he talks like so fast. Like now that I have like a new teacher for like there's a new teacher, Spanish teacher for sixth grade in my elementary school, like I just realized how fast like Senor Mojia actually was talking after I've listened to like uh Senor like uh Muhica wait yeah Mejia and Muhica I know so like super similar names and like and I'm like oh wow like so that it's talking fast I'm like crazy.
SPEAKER_01I forget that you're in dual immersion.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I am in dual immersion.
SPEAKER_01But but see, it's muy bueno, me gusta mucho y that's like when I order my uh order at McDonald's, it's like mucho yellow, and then I don't know how to say no. Is that mustard? Oh no, guess what?
SPEAKER_03No is no in Spanish. No, no.
SPEAKER_01Mucho yellow, no queso.
SPEAKER_03Wait, how do you say ice queso?
SPEAKER_00Yellow. Well, that's yellow.
