Welcome back to Ramble by the River, the podcast where we explore the stories and musings of interesting people from all walks of life. Today, we have a very special guest: Nick Matson! In this episode, we dive into a variety of topics ranging from fairy tale romance to Chinese weather balloons. So, let’s jump right in!
We start off by learning about Nick’s career as a longshoreman and the corruption that can occur in large-scale industrial shipping. Then we shift gears and talk about the world of online dating in small towns and how sometimes it leads to fairy tale romance. We also explore the crawfish culture of the Oregon swamp people and chat about some delicious comfort foods like pancakes, biscuits, scones, and pastries.
As Nick shares his experiences raising kids and cooking at home, we discuss the importance of home-cooked meals and the tricks to successful step-parenting. We also touch on geo-engineering, public disclosures, and cover-ups, which leads us to question the motives of TV news: is it to inform or entertain?
Nick’s love for music takes center stage as we delve into his time as a touring musician and his passion for creating art while managing pride and ego. We also talk about some fun Finn facts and folklore, and learn the true story behind St. Patrick’s “snake” genocide.
Moving on to more controversial topics, we discuss the need for a third political party and some of our own political opinions, such as Second Amendment and Abortion rights. We even float the idea of a new political movement: Gun-toting Liberals?
Throughout the episode, we sprinkle in some hilarious and wild stories, like the time Jeff got b*tch-slapped by Nick’s wife in school and the dangers of bath salts. And of course, we can’t forget to mention Nick’s childhood on John Day Slough, his boats, and his float house on the Columbia River.
Sit back, relax, and join us for a thought-provoking and entertaining episode of Ramble by the River with Jeff Nesbitt and special guest Nick “Foggy Auggie” Matson.
