Hey, welcome to the Happy Ramp Podcast. I am Ted Cluck back in studio,

joined as always by my good friends and partners in radio, Barnabas Piper and Ronald J Martin boys it's

it's good to be back on the program with you I feel a little rusty

uh... knocking the not gonna rust off in the midst of a busy week and boys I got to tell you

I got nothing today I don't know what we're gonna be talking about so it's gonna be a little

free free free form exploration here on the happy rant. We're very busy people. The three of us are in high

demand and we're running a lot of different places. I'm actually Piper traveling this week

so I'm going to be living the kind of

lanyard life that Ronnie Martin has grown accustomed to over the years.

Are you are you speaking at something or are you attending or what's a what

do you know capacity are you traveling I'm attending this is the

glitz and glamor known as the Southeast journalism conference so I'm taking

students I usually

take like seven or eight students we go to just a super glamorous locale here in the southeast and

um listen to some usually really bad talks and win some awards for our

newspaper and magazine and uh... do a bunch of fun stuff in the evening.

So it's kind of all about the evening stuff.

Like last year I took them roller skating and we bold, we played a bunch of guitar hero so it's really all about the

evening time yeah that sounds that sounds super retro I guess the real question is

are you gonna wear your most ill-fitting clothes since it is a journalism conference?

Dude, yeah, schlumpy, dumpy, like I need to actually engage Andy Stanley Pipe on that idea that we talked about.

So I need, I need to be able to dress for the journalism program I want not the one that I currently have so maybe I can I can talk to a stand before I before I hit the road here because I want to be able to travel in style you know
