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.

This week we finally get to talk to Frank Falk, the creator of iHorns. We have been looking at his stuff for years at the Farmers Market and Jeremy even has one at home. The horns are made from musical instruments, car horns, animal horns, and anything conical!
Frank Falk, iHorns creator
Frank makes custom speakers for your phone out of antique horns and other devices. But we talk a lot more about American history than we do the actual horns, since that is such a big part of the art itself. We are grateful because he brought each of us a horn!

Our guest says the best thing about Utah is that the people and the topography are diverse. The people make room for all and accept differences.

This week we sit down with Max Born, the President and owner of Chili Beak. Chili Beak is a local chili oil company, but also so much more.
Max Born recording at Ugly Baboon Studios (Jeremy)
Aside from just making amazing oil, sauce and caramels, Max is a firm believer in helping grow the local business community. With a history of successful branding and distribution, he has grown chili beak into quite the brand, and launched a successful hot sauce festival in Salt Lake. Sauce Lake City was held in June of 2022 so watch for it in the spring of 2023!

After purchasing Chili Beak from Giselle and Jason McClure about three years ago, he not only grew the brand they started but Max has also started a couple of other business Chili Beak adjacent, one of them being Chill Beak. Chill Beak produces cannabis chews with Chili Beak’s trademark habanero punch!

Max says the most interesting and unique thing about Utah is our community and our tribe. Pockets of people who jump in to help and support! As always, thank you to Folk Hogan for our intro and outtro music.

Now back to Candice….

Candice is a native Utahn, born in Salt Lake City raised, in the Clearfield, Ogden, area. Canidce is a mother, partner and fierce feminist who found her love for making art in the form of quasi vintage underclothing about 9 years ago. After only a short time of being in business Candice went viral with her ‘Golden Girls’ panties. Sales went through the roof…UNTIL Betty white filed a cease and desist order ultimately breaking up the group (You can still purchase the other 3 golden girls on her website) Each one was designed with the particular character in mind.

The Dorothy design is black a nod to her characters dark side.

The Sophia has a sensible support top

The Blanche who is Candice’s favorite golden girl, sums up Candice’s view “Life’s short, get fucked”. You will notice the Blanche is crotchless, in true Blanche style.
Candice has had several unfortunate and unforeseen challenges thrown her way the past few years; her sister passed way followed by her mother. Covid threw a wrench in the business with home schooling, and all the garbage that came along with the Covid shutdowns, quarantines, etc. Candice is a one woman show who puts family first and the support of her kids and husband at the front of everything she does.
Candice is however on a new path to bring Bullets and Bees back into the mainstream and she has begun creating new items again. Each item Candice produces is hand made, and made to fit the person ordering them. Custom orders are available as well as some of the standards she has in stock. Here are a few of our favorites.

This was such a fun interview; Candice is a joy to talk to and you can feel the passion she has in her work. Once again check out her work, place an order, or just say hello… Bullets and Bees Boutique

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.
Psarah Johnson, sltrib.com
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.
Valier Trujillo – Etsy
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.
