This week, Jeremy reports his chickens have tripled in size and plans continue for the great coop expansion. Chris breaks down the Silicon Valley Bank crash for everyone, and why it’s important to Utah.
However, our main focus is a fun discussion with one of the owners and Vice President of Wallaroo’s Furniture & Mattresses. Bailee Nebeker walks us through growing up as a farm girl in Pleasant Grove and debating her way through high school before moving to the pacific northwest.
Three full years into law school she leaves and meets her husband running a furniture selling business. That business is now making its own furniture with 12 stores in four states, and plans for more. It’s a great chat.
As always thank you to Folk Hogan for our intro music.

After an intro filled with us discussing sausage and car issues, we get to chat with our old friend, Alexi Fisher from The Hammered Copper and Cocktail Collective. We get to catch up on what new things she has and how the year has been. But we also dive into a lot of talk about types of booze and drinking and just life in general.

It’s Utah Adventure week and this month we go to a Utah Grizzlies Game. After talking about Julia’s Vegas adventures, we dive into the history of the Maverick Center and hockey in the state of Utah.

The night we went it was Pups on the Pond, where everyone voted for the little dogs instead of the smart dogs!

This episode we take the show on the road! We are recording in the Red Rock Brewery with Michael Druce. We get to check out the operations, the beer store and talk all about the beer and story behind Red Rock.
Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune
We start off talking about Michael’s history, and find out, much like Jeremy, he’s an Idaho boy to start. The two of them wax poetic about the old days in Pocatello, before we push them to get on with the beer history portion of the show. It turns out that Michael has loved Red Rock since it began back in 1989, as the LLC was introduced to American business. He has been drinking their beers since the first week of the pub being open.
We take a trip through tastings of various beers. We start with their hands down most popular, Elephino. A nice IPA that they can’t seem to make enough of to be honest. We get a taste of their Pride Beer, Double White Rainbow, and my favorite, their Anniversary Imperial Red. We also get to taste their Marvela, which happens to be their #2 selling beer. Jeremy and I are in love, and highly recommend it to all.

But we also get to talk about some other stuff they have done in the community. Aside from winning an insane number of awards and being a big part in legislative changes, it turns out they do special projects. For example, Harmons has engaged in it’s own line of beer, and none other than Red Rock is collaborating with them on it. We got to sample the 24/7 365 American Lager, and it’s the perfect lawn mowing beer if there ever was one!
Harmons
Red Rock has been around since the start, only Squatters is technically older. And they continue to be a big part of the community and local brewing scene. You can’t ask for a better community steward than them.

We start the week with a discussion of local news, featuring Bryan Brandenburg, co-founder of FanX, being arrested. This leads us to a bit of discussion on the convention itself and how we all feel about it several years in.
But that conversation gives way to our guest of the week. Patrick Cat of Patrick Cat Tattoo. He is an incredibly tattoo artist, based right here out of Utah. He brings and amazing amount of color and unique imagery to his tattoos. You can find him at Misery and Co. Tattoo Collective, but you have to message him first as he doesn’t do walk ins.
Patrick was born in New York City to parents from near the Mexico City area. We got to talk a lot to Patrick about his influences, and how moving back and forth from Mexico City to the United States during his early years impacted his education and life. It’s a fairly unique and very interesting story.

When it was time for college, a hard decision had to be made; Go to school in New York or stay in Mexico and pursue his artwork that he loved. He decided to stay in Mexico, where he started to tattoo to support his other art work. After gaining experience in Mexico, he tattoo’d in parts of the US and even moved to France for 2 years to tattoo.
Now he calls Salt Lake City his home, with his lovely wife, who he met in Mexico, and has a thriving tattoo business. He does guest spots around the world, and its no wonder based on the amazing artwork. We spend a lot of time talking about his style, and how he makes Neo Organic Watercolor come to life on human skin.

He gives all his customers their own artwork, sculpture or otherwise, that is the inspiration for the final tattoo. His consultations are selective, and he won’t do tattoos he doesn’t think will work or look good. And he charges by the project, not by the hour. We really loved our chat with Patrick, and hope you enjoy it as well.

This episode we talk about the passing of a true Utah activist to start the show. A former guest, Psarah Johnson, was a true social warrior. She was almost always found at the center of any social justice movement for women, the LGBTQ+ community and people with disabilities. If you ever had the pleasure of meeting her or working with her, you knew she believed in what she fought for, and never let anything get her down without a damn good reason.

We also find out Bre has yet another sister out in the world. A very different store with this one and for now, we aren’t giving too many details, but suffice to say, we question how many more there may be for sure.
We also talk a lot about the existing Utah drought, and the levels of the reservoirs around the west. Lake Mead in particular has been so low, that all manner of things are being found, including bodies inside of barrels from the 70s and 80s. We urge everyone to cut back on their watering this year, and talk about how dead our lawns will be too. Plus we get a bee update from Jeremy.

The heart of the episode though is spent talking with Valerie Trujillo, the owner and creator of Tru Creations Crochet, a local crochet artist that makes clothes and all manner of fun crochet oddities. Her instagram is full of all the things she makes. She was even outside the studio, finishing the top she wore in studio.

While her clothes are fantastic, I can’t get over all the other stuff she makes personally. From butts, to penises, to baby Gorgus, she is extremely talented. She does it all as a hobby, when she is just sitting around. She takes custom orders, and clearly nothing is off the table. We really enjoyed talking to her and hope you enjoy listening.

We had the pleasure of speaking at length to Alan Dee Geddes this episode. He is a life long magician and Tarot reader. Based out of Ogden, Utah, Alan is a life long Utahn. You can often find him at The Ogden Monarch like so many of our other past guests. He also has a YouTube Channel, where you can find his magic trick videos.

Alan grew up in Utah, but decided at 17 years of age, to take a life journey to Las Vegas. He already knew he liked magic and tarot by that point, and joined the Las Vegas magic club. Of course we talk all about his time in Vegas and the history of Magic there. While incredibly impressionable on Alan, his time in Vegas did not last long, and he made his way back to Utah.
We walk through some of his early Utah years in Ogden. He spent time at The Fun Shop, learning magic tricks. He would do magic on the side at Grizzly Bear Pizza. And at some point in all of this, Alan found his first tarot deck and was instantly hooked.

The Waite Smith Tarot deck, is really what hooked Alan. It still remains his favorite in terms of art, but he has many, many more. We get to take a really deep dive with Alan about Tarot. He learned a lot in the pre-internet days, simply by reading books he checked out from the public library system. The complete guide to tarot was his first book on tarot. And for years he preformed magic, and tarot readings, all while working at Xerox / Kinkos and the IRS.
Now Alan has decided to read tarot, work on his magic, practice Wicca and practice reiki full time. He gives us insight into what people ask the most about (psst its Love, Health and Money) and how he likes to read. He even does a small reading for the podcast, pulling a card for each of the hosts. But I’m going to make you listen to find out what we pulled, and if I pulled the death card or not again.
