This is Jim Beaver from Deadwood, and you cock suckers are listening to Story Worthy.

Welcome to the Story Worthy podcast. Here are your hosts, Christine Blackburn and Hannah Spine.

Welcome to Story Worthy.

My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hanna Spenny, and we're coming to you from the home of Charles M. Schultz in Santa Rosa, California.

Why you would ask, the creator of Peanuts, because of his famous catchphrase, good grief.

And grief is our topic tonight.

Oh, I see.

Well, that's a twist.

So instead of going with a grief counseling center, I decided to go with a fun version. Of good grief. Yes, exactly. Interesting. You know, I'm a huge peanuts fan, Honest. I share a lot of Charlie Brown with my daughter. She's five. One of our favorite phrases is good grief. But it's funny. you should say it the way you just said it because I never thought of it as good grief.

I just thought it was like, oh, brother. Well, yes. It is technically, I believe, a nice way of saying, oh, shit. Right. So, but it's, it's, it's fun. So are you saying good grief, that there's good grief? No, I'm saying that I put the best possible sin on the word grief I could do.

Otherwise, we'd be coming from a grief counseling center somewhere, and that was not going to be a lot of fun. All right, all right. Here's what Honest is getting at, ladies and gentlemen. Jim Beaver is our guest tonight. Jim Beaver. He's an actor. And not only he's an actor, Hansis, but he's like a real actor. He's a real working actor. He's an author.

Yeah, well, I was going to get to the author.

I'm going to get to the writer of the author.

I'm going to get to that.

But my point is when I say, a real actor. He's a real working actor. He's an author. Yeah, well, I was going to get to the author.

I'm going to get to the writer of the author. I'm going to get to that. But my point is when I say actor. He actually won a pole vaulting event in Helsinki in 1948. A lot of people do not know that. Do you think that would be in his special skills? Yes, special skills. Pole vaulting. I like when people put under their special skills like a good driver standard

a midwestern accent on mine like really as that's not a special skill that's all i have i don't have
