Fasting at the anniversary. At the anniversary, So we have had a whirlwind
the past couple of weeks. There's been a lot of stuff going on.
And I reminded you this morning we were going to do an entirely different topic,
and I was like, you know what we need to do. We
need to make a little fuss to ourselves with ourselves about our fifteen year anniversary,
because it's not every day that you do the same thing for fifteen years.
You know, like there are some marriages that don't last as long,
God knows, and celebrity circles. There are no celebrity marriages that last as
long as our little business as lasted. It's true, and we're planning on
going for fifteen years. More so I figured we let's reminisce, let's do
a little walk down memory lane and talk a little bit about Chicks on the
Right and how far we've come. And you know, I feel like we're
pioneers in this industry. A lot of youngsters out there doing what we do,
but are We've been around since some of these people were in diapers,
and we would not be able to do what we do as well as we
do it. If I do say so myself, if not for the fact
that we get pretty good sleep because of my pillow dot com slash true Chicks

Okay. So we won't go into like how we started or anything like that,
because people can watch that in a whole other podcast. I think it's
like twenty one or twenty two or something like that. We did a podcast
a long time ago on how we started, which is a pretty cool,
serendipitous, divine story on how we got started, as Chick's on the right
back in two thousand and nine. We've been doing this since two thousand and
nine. But what we wanted to do is take a look back on just
some of like our favorite interviews or favorite memories, some of the videos we've
done we forgot. I mean, it's it's easy to forget some of the
things that you've done in fifteen years, especially when you're in midlife and you
forget what you had for breakfast this morning. It's easy to forget some of
the things that have gone on in fifteen years, because I mean, there's
a lot of stuff out there. But I just quick, like right off
the bat, I want to ask you, like what your favorite interview is
and or event over the past fifteen years. Do you have a favorite r
It's hard. You don't have to pick just one, Like do you have
a favorite interview or like, oh my gosh, so couple of favorites.
I loved that. Very early on, we did an interview with Mike Rowe
and he sang opera music to us. Yes, he was super awesome and
he spent like he spent like forty five minutes with us. He was one
of the original Like I like, what you see is what you get?
Guy, where I met him, and I'm like, he is the real
deal. He's there, He's he was so genuine and so sweet to us,
and so he was on my list too. I really really enjoyed having
him super sweet man. But gosh, I mean there's been so many I
loved it when we had Scott Walker in our yeah, in studio, when
he was there and he was just so precious, and I just loved,
loved, loved that you loved him, you wanted him to be president at
one point. Yeah, he was my horse that year. Whatever he was
was that you called him aggressive, aggressively normal. He there is himself that
aggressively normal. I love that, which means that he was never going to
win yea because he was so normal, so that I thought it was We
we've interviewed al Vida King. I think that just just knowing who she is
and the family that she's in, I thought that was really cool. I
mean just I mean, I'm like a nobody, and I'm thinking, I
get to interview Alvita King, Like, how cool is that? And and
then I love the fact, like we interviewed Jannia Broadrick, we live through,
you know, everything that happened with the Clintons back in the day and
being able to interview her was really cool for us. And then I also
I think my favorite, one of my favorites was Dennis Miller. Yes,
and I have actually because we we interviewed him, we were on his show,
and then he also came to Indianapolis to do like his stand up stuff,
and we went and thanks to a friend of ours who has a mutual
friend of his, we were able to get backstage with him, which was
so fun, and I thought, I have a video of the moment that
we were backstage with him and he was getting photographs with us, which we
thought were photos but turned out to be video. So this is kind of
funny that we're like posing and just standing there like this video. Like Dorothy,
he was so precious and he held up our book. He was just
he was so dear and very very cool. And then I kept thinking,
like he that was the Saturday Night Live cast that I loved so much.
Was his cast, yes back when like Farley was on it, David Spade
and all those guys. That was like the last great SNL cast, at
least to me, and so I just, yeah, that was good time.
And then remember remember when he was in that movie was Sandra Bullock.
Yes, The Net, The Net. I love that movie The Net.
That was so good. Oh my god. He was in a couple.
He was in great movies like Joe Dirt. He played a radio guy in
Joe Dirt. You probably don't remember that at all, but he was.
He's just you know, and now he's sort of like off the grid because
he probably he doesn't want to dabble in any of this anymore because he can,
you know. But he was his his reference pool is so deep,
super smart guy. You and I saw him, like you said, we
saw him on concert. He was and I think that's the last time that
we really, you know, had anything to do with him. But he
was really fun to So he was one of my favorites. So and then,
like any events that you can remember over the past fifteen years that you
that were super fun for you, because for me, I think one of
the most fun. You're going to be surprised by this by my answer for
this, but I think that it would have it would have been the Governor's
Ball, for the Indiana Governor's Ball. Yeah, when we were tapped to
do that. I just think it was it was really it was one of
those I like bucket list kind of things, like we're never going to do
this again. And it certainly we'll never do it again because I think it
was it's very establishment dy, kind of an establishment y thing to do,
but it was a you should be clear, I mean, just so it's
clear we am seed that right. It didn't just go We were actually tapped
to ms see it. Yeah, and there were two thousand guests in attendance,
and it's formal and like all it's like, oh my god. Yeah,
it was a really big deal. We were decked out and like formal
gowns and we were on the stage and we were yeah, we were announcing
everything. And it's when Eric Holcombe, Governor Eric Holcomb became the governor of
Indiana and his wife Janet, and so they tapped us to do that and
it was I mean, it was an honor to do it. Granted we're
not super close to them now and I don't think we'd ever be tapped to
do that ever again because we're not really in the establishment d circles. But
it was a really cool experience to go through that and to be able to
do it, and so looking back. It's just something that I'm like,
I'm glad I did that. I'm glad that we were able to do it.
And at the time it was kind of neat, you know, it
was definitely neat. I would not have picked that as one of my favorites
because I feel like my favorite events for us have been the ones that we've
hosted. Yeah, meet and greets are amazing. The one that sticks out,
of course, is the very first one, which is just which was
September of twenty twelve, and you know, we had rent it. We
didn't know what we were doing. We didn't even know that we were going
to get so many people, but we ended up having quite a few people
when we rented out through connections that we have. Of course, we had
no money. We rented out this little golf country club thing here in Indianapolis,
and to our shock and surprise and total happiness, Governor Mitch Daniels at
the time surprised us by being there. And he was. He's another one
of those guys that's super genuine too. He was always really good to us.
He always gave us time. He's just a super super nice guy.
Just to interject, when it comes to interviews and meeting people. I think
I need to add to that list just as of last week. Glenn Back
is one of the additions to that list. Also, like he yeah,
major highlight of at least my career because like he was, he's another wizywig,
like what you see is what you get kind of person. Sure,
and you don't know what to expect from people because they could be total divas.
He's so not. So that was a wonderful interview that we had last
week. So that was super fun. And then back in our radio days,
this is really just like opening up the hope chest in the attic,
see all of our and you're surprising. And she surprised me with these because
I said, Okay, let's get some video and she and I'm like,
let me see some of the She's like, nope, I'm gonna surprise you.
We're gonna surprise you. And man, I started looking through all the
different videos that we made together and I was dying laughing. But there were
so many that there's there's so much more than what I'm about to share with
you that I couldn't even we didn't even know. There's not enough time,
Like there's not enough time to hit on the highlights. But man, some
of these I had completely forgotten about. I was so young. I'll speak
for myself. You actually look exactly the same kind of looks so young this
video look exactly the same. Oh my god, I do not. I
had hair back then. It was so great. It was glorious to have
hair. We cannot not behind everybody, but the reason everything because I keep
it. Then you sell their skincare line, and their whole line is absolutely

slash shick. What else you got and the grab bag of goodies Today?
Well, there was a we did a recap of some of our hate mail.
Oh my god, two pieces of hate mail that were especially hilarious,
and here is the first. I like the chicks, but when they start
talking in their high pitchy voices, when they speak about I have to turn
because he don't like you talk about dogs. Don't like it, I think
to you either, And you don't like dogs, My dogs look like you
either. Do you think that's the voice that he was referring to me?
They repeat what the other one says about ten times in a row, in
a row, in a row, ten times in a row, ten times
in a row. So they're saying, we repeat each other ten times in
a row, what the other says. What the other one says ten times
in a row, ten times in a row, ten times in a row,
ten times in a row. As if we would ever repeat each other
ten times in a row in a row. We wouldn't do that. Oh
my god, I totally forgot about that. I totally did. I wonder
how Matt's doing. Yeah, I wonder if you kind of an animal.
I want my feet. Oh my gosh. I we still get hate mail,
but now, but now what we do is we turn it around.
And mock is so brutal. She turns it around and puts it on the
Wall of Shames so we can make money off of it. That's right,
that's right. Here is another piece of hate mail. And I actually don't
remember which one this is already, even though I just collected it. Zach
said this is my favorite one. In fact, a dedicated entire post to
Zach on our website. Chicks had no business being on during rush hour anyway.
Everyone is trapped in their vehicles and can't escape. He doesn't know about
the buttons, buttons and dials and you can turn it off and you can
also get out of your car. Oh my god, these are good times.
Oh my god, people in their hate mail, right, that's I
think. That's one of the things that I was most surprised about when we
started is how much hate we were going to get and the first couple of
years were tough. Like you and I had a tough time adjusting to all
the hate because we were such nice people and now we're total bitches. We
were neither, but we were super nice and now we developed this really thick
skin and now we're awful. Yeah, it's because of all the all the
hate that we received and all the people calling us racist and white supremacists and
all the horrible things that they call us. Because eventually it just kind of
rolls off and you're like whatever, whatever. Yeah, sticks and stones Man.
We wrote a book. We did, and it still exists today in
the world on Amazon, and it's still relevant and you should read it if
you haven't yet. It's pretty timeless. I think the shelf life on that
is pretty good. Yeah, we went through a number of videographers. Actually
there was three, right, So we had we had Felicia, and we
had Tyler, and we had Maddie. Yes, Maddie was the last one.
Yes, I feel like I'm forgetting. I think there may have been
one more, but I honestly can't remember who the fourth one was. It
may have been so quick that that person has such a quick turnaround, but
those are the three big ones that we had. Yes, and and they,
you know, especially Felicia and Tyler, they were so talented and they
always had these phenomenal ideas. And one time Tyler decided, you know what
you guys should do, you should you should do a laugh challenge, and
so he was basically showing us surprise videos and we were competing against each other
to see who would break first. And I thought it'd be you for sure,
because you're such You're such a laugher. And I thought, there's I
got this in the bag one. I totally I can't believe it. But
we both lost on one particular round and it was this, all right,
I've got this. Oh this is harsh. This is harsh. We are
said, oh, no, get respect, no signs. Why did they
get respects? Why are they like the bread dogs. It's like we're like,
we have to go home and try that on our dogs. Immediately.
I have to shove bread on my dog snoot. Oh my god, that
was the best. That was absolute. Yeah, there's no way we were
making out of it that we were not making it out alive and not not
laughing at that way. But I think it was actually Maddie. If I'm
not mistaken, who convinced us that we needed to try to do a dramatic
reading of Was it Cardi By or Cardi B or China whoever had like the
most disgusting lyrics ever it could have been. It was either Beyonce or Black
China or China. I think it was Black China. I can't remember somebody
with disgusting lyrics. We did it and we looked absolutely ridiculous. And I
completely forgot about this clip. But I didn't do here. It is I'm
a bad suck some If that gets slick, I'll cut the I'll cut up
the I'll get the the man won't shoot her, but I will gun But
I totally forgot that existed. Same until write this minute. Where did you
find that? I it was with all the other ones from WYBS. I
cannot believe that exists in the world. The stuff that we did on radio,
Oh my god, God. And okay, so like anything before we
cut out here, anything that you would want to say that you've learned most
of all in the fifteen years. Definitely to have a thick skin and to
not give a crap or crap load, know what, others think or think
we should be, or think we should say, or think we should do,
or think we should change. Yeah, we have always been the best
when we're just ourselves. Yeah I agree with that. Yeah. So yeah,
I'd say for me, it's like, don't be afraid, because too
many conservatives are afraid to be conservative. That's the one theme I've seen over
the past fifteen years. So many people are like, I agree with what
you say, but I'm afraid to say it. So I think that that
keeps us from winning, that keeps us from doing better as a party.
And then also, I think the thing I'm most proud of. I think
we've said this many times is our community. We've built such a kick ass
community. I love the people that we get to hang out with every single
day in our podcast, and I hope we get to do it for another
fifteen more years. Same same cheers, actually cheers. Indeed, we've got
some reviews I share that people have left for us on the Apple podcast platform.
But before we get to those, I want to remind everybody about Omaha

own choice of meats or sides or desserts, or a combination of all three

Steaks has. They have little risotto balls, they have potatoes, they have
all sorts of yummy sides. So you could just do sides. You could

to Right and it says these chicks are on fire. This spin off from
Chicks on the Right is just the perfect ear candy for me. Living in
SoCal. Sometimes it gets a little too far left for this seventy year old
to put up with. It is so great to hear your humorous common sense
takes to go along with your political views. Keep smiling. That's from art
in so cal I love it nice. That's so sweet. And then eight
and counting said, seeing through the lens of of conservative women, I've been
listening to the chicks from their radio days then and now they are a part
of my daily news feed. It is so hard to get straight talk from
like minded conservative women. The chicks definitely deliver. They feel like the girlfriends
you agree with on everything. Keep it up, ladies, I love that's
so sweet. There's so many, but we'll finish it off with this one,
because this is great. This is from Missus Dowd and it says,
feels like morning coffee with good friends. I look forward to listening to these
ladies every morning. It feels like I'm sitting at the kitchen table having coffee
with my own two friends, chatting about the day's events, the good,
the bad, the ugly, and they always leave you feeling better about all
the things than when you came in. I even miss them on days they
don't have their show as they have become a wonderful part of my daily routine.
Thanks ladies, keep it up and ignore the trolls. That's what it's
all about. That's what our community is all about. Yeah, so tell
your friends and join the community because our community is awesome. It's not just
us, it's the people that have come into our community that make it feel
like that we're one big, happy family. That is damn right. So
cheers to fifteen and until next time, We'll talk to you guys later. I
