Conversation 51: Talking Disinformation with Congressman Denver Riggleman
Manage episode 313505403 series 3140931
Denver mentioned getting in fights at Friendly’s. There are not many of the iconic ice cream shops left. I failed to ask him what his favorite treat there was…I still remember the Jim Dandy fondly.
We talk extensively about Denver’s book – but here is the link to Bigfoot, It’s Complicated.
Denver challenged me about looking up his name and Bigfoot on Google images…well, you know I had to do it.
Olympic National Park is where Denver took his wife for their 15th anniversary.
Denver referenced getting skewered on Saturday Night Live and the late night talk shows. I couldn’t find the episodes for the Jimmys – Kimmel and Fallon but here is Stephen Colbert. All of this proves – you really make it when the late night shows make fun of you.
I love how Denver “hugged the cactus” and embraced the disinformation two times – coming from both sides of the aisle. See this recent article in the New York Times.
Denver told the story of how they got into the distilling business and it started with a trip to oh Ben Nevis Distillery and Highland cows.
