Danger: High Voltage! with CJ Hawkinson
Manage episode 336898204 series 2943729
Local business owner and longtime friend of the show CJ Hawkinson stops by with a few bottles of top-shelf whiskey and some delightful conversation. CJ talks about his rise through the ranks of Ford Electric to become a part-owner of the company in 2019, his son Gabe's life-threatening heart condition that led to neonatal heart surgery just hours after birth, and he recounts many glorious tales from Ilwaco High School.
Some topics you will hear:
- Jeff and CJ try several high-end whiskeys as they recount their first time using tobacco as kids.
- Countless stories about our wacky PNW childhoods.
- Jeff's neighbor/nemesis becomes a murder.
- CJ finds something under an oven that you will never forget.
- A rat loses his life because of his sloppy electrical repair techniques.
- The typical home range of an adult male cougar.
This episode also features a short appearance by Elsa Linquist.
CJ has been a friend for a very long time (not to mention a supporter of the podcast) and I had a blast making this with him. I hope you enjoy!
