stupid.Did you ever meet Jim?Yes.Okay.Oh, yes.Okay, cause I couldn't remember.Yes.Like, cause it's all kind of my memory kind of- Yeah, very blurred.you know, got super blurry after that.Right.So you knew him when he was alive.Yep, I sure did.Okay, gotcha.So then I wanna say you probably worked here in 2007 and startedMaybe.It could've beencause I don't know if I worked here before I went to college.You didn't.Okay, so then it was- That summer before you went to college.Okay.Yeah, so I don't know if I started like before I graduated, but it was before I went to college.So it was 2006.Okay, it was 2006.Yes.Jeez, I don't even know.Um, so anyways, you got married really young.You got married at 18, right?Yep, right at 18.You met your high school sweetheart.Now, w- was he your high school sweetheart, or- Yeah.how did you meet Kyle?Iso Kyle and I worked at Menards in Elk River.Okay.And we met, I think, our sophomore year of high school.And we were just kind of on and off throughout all of high school.Um, and then we got some great idea to get engaged and married.What I remember- That sounds like a horrible fucking idea.is you got engaged- At 18?Yes.Yeah.What the fuck?Who does that?Yeah, totally.We all told her, Don't do it, but-he was being deployed or something.Mm-hmm.He was going tohe joined the military, went to basic training, um, and then shortly after, he moved to Kentucky, where he got stationed.Yep.He deployed like 6 or 7 months after that.So you got married before he even went to boot camp?Um, no.We got married after he came back and went and got stationed in Kentucky.Oh.And then I moved down there and promptly got married like 6 days later.Oh, so you got married down there?okay.In a courthouse.All right, so I have my story screwed up, but anyway.It's okay.She married him at 18.Um, she moved across the country to Kentucky.Been down in Kentucky until just recently, last year?Yeah, about a year ago.Yeah.She haswell, you are a professional cake decorator.Not that you're doing that for a living right now.No.But she can do it.She's phenomenal at it.Yes, I do.And, um, she has a German shepherd.Mm-hmm.Who's her BFF, named George.He is my baby.He is my baby.Oh, so you remember Paul from back in the day?Yes, I remember Paul.All right.I met a time or 2.A time or 2.Drunken stupors at the lake house.Goddamn.Um, well, let's take it back to 2006, 2007.You're 18.You walk into Frontier and you're looking for a job.Um, I'm not sure if I had an ad out or what the deal was, but kinda walk us through that.Remind me how all that all went down.I don't remember if I was here when you walked in.I honestly have no clue, Kristi.Okay.I just know it was back when like before everything was like apply online, like you came in and got a paper application.Yeah, old school.Right.Yeah.Um- You came in and applied.I probably ad out somewhere.And I think my dad used to come here and get, um, like beer on the way up to Garrison.Okay.Um, and I don't know why I was looking for a job.I've worked like my entire life since I was 14.Yeah.So I don't know if I just got bored with my other job, or whatever.Cause where were you working before that?Menards?I assume at, umI used to work at like the Country Inn & Suites in Elk River.Okay.So maybe it was there, and the hours just kinda sucked.It was like 3:00 to 11:00, so it wasn't like great for a high schooler.Right.Um, but also, what?Is a liquor store great for a high schooler?Yeah.Who knows?It's the best place ever.What are you talking about?I mean, you get-you get a lot of friends real quick.Yeah, right?Exactly.Um, so maybe my dad was just like, Hey, why don't you go see if they're hiring a Frontier or something?Okay.He's like, I need a fucking discount.Yeah, and then I started here.I know it was like the beginning of the summer.Yeah.You must've just got outta school and came in.I think Sarah maybe is the one that like encountered me, and maybe she interviewed me.I don't know, cause she was a manager at the time, but- I don't remember.She was the manager, yeah.I don't remember.Um- I just started working here suddenly.So let's talk about while you worked here.Um, what was a typical shift like working here?What did you work?You worked nights, not the day shift, right?I think I worked either mids or closing.Okay.Um, and it was just always so much fun.Like, I think this is probably the- one of the funnest jobs I've ever had.Cause it was justI don't know, it was just always something crazy going on.I love hearing that, hear it a lot- Yeah.from people that have gone on and done their career, their careers or whatever.Right.Whether it be nursing or-They're like, I'll- I'll never forget working here.It was the best- Ever.place to work ever.We had more fun.Literally.Like, super lots of fun, so- Literally.Um, cause it was either me and Sarah working or me and Lydia.And then, like, you all-would show up on your bikes- This should show.like, on your way to somewhere-and just, like, come and, like, fuck up our whole day.Like- And not, like, in a bad way, but like- Right.I don't know, just I don't know.It's like sitting here listening to you all, like BS at the table in the back, like before all this was here.Yeah.Um, I don't know.It was just so much fun cause me and Sarah were always doing something- Ugh.Right.like stupid at work.Right, right.It was- Um- Working with her was super fun.Yeah.Or like- She always made it fun.I don't know, I forgot what it was.Jimmy had something put outside and he told us one day, he was like, You girls should wear swimsuits and go out by the road and get people to come in.So we did.And then my dad drove by and called me and was like, What are you doing?I'm like, Ooh, just working.Advertising.Yeah.Exactly.Did you ever do one of the bikini car washes that we've done?Yeah.You did do- Okay.I did a couple of them I think.Okay.All right.Do you do ha- do you remember anyI mean, w- I feel like we get a lot of weirdos in here.I mean, especially at night.Yes.Like what's- what's some of the- Just drunken mayhem-what do you remember the random- Literally.fucking dipshits coming in.weird- Yeah.Like Sarah has had i-Sarah cakes the cake with having weirdos.she would get so much random- She just attracts weirdos.I don't know if water- Wash- She does.why or how.She called- I think she called them in.She's like- She does.Hey, come to my working- She does.A fucking tractor meeting.She says, You're not even gonna believe what happened tonight.Right.Um, I think I was, umI don't know ifI think I was by myself one night, which is very rare.Yeah.I was by myself and this guy came in, like walking in, and like, he's like leaned almost all the way back, like walking past the half wall.I'm like, Oh, he's had enough to drink tonight.Oh.And he comes up and like-he's kind of like meandering around.I say hello to him.He doesn't say anything to me, so I don't even know if-he's like all there.And then he like comes up and grabs something and then puts it on the counter, and I told him like what the total was.Yeah.And I- I shouldn't have like sold him anyways, to be honest, but like, I tell him and then he just kind of like turns around, looks around, like he didn't hear me.And then, um, I tell him again, and he like turns and like squares up with me and faces me, and all of a sudden like he's wearing gray sweatpants, and there's like a wet spot, and it just grows.And he's peeing his pants-right in front of me on the counter.Oh my god.And he still doesn't say anything.What the f- So this was my cue to be like- I just grabbed his stuff- Yeah.and like pulled it back.I was like, You can't buy this.You need to get out.And then he didn't say anything and just walks out.He just walked out.Just walked out.Wow.What the fuck?That- yeah that's something when I- Yeah, I think that's when I called Sarah.I was like, Could you please come here?Yeah.I don't feel comfortable.Somebody just peed their pants in front of me.That is funny.So, when you worked here you were only 18, and so you weren't even old enough to buy alcohol for yourself, but so what was it like?Did you get a lot of shit having to card people?Like that were older than you?No.No?Never?Not really.Nobody really cared.I know Jenna when she worked here, um, she would get that.You're not even old enough toAnd she goes, That'sYeah.Well, she-is now like gonna be- Well, she is 30.She still looks like she's fricking 17.Yeah.Yeah, she does.She should be in fucking like 8th grade or

High Noon Raspberry?Yep.Okay.And what's the price on this?you.That I'mI've never- Oh, that kind of smells like- I'm standing on-those Bacardi Razzies back in the day.the bar for Judy's today.Ooh, yeah, it does.Wait, what is the price on this?God, I used to drink the fuck out of those things.I$32.99.For how much?Yep.Damn.Jesus leaves.And these are onlyWell, they're only four and a half percent.Oh, it tastes like it too.Kinda, yeah.Not, not a fan.It's okay.What's our seltzer crazy rate?I just don't like the fucking bubbles.I don't think Ethan'll like it.It's, it's good.It tastes good.It reminds me of, uh, I was telling her, those Bacardi Razzes.Kinda.Yes.Remember?They used to sell them in those- Yes.like, whatever, 12-packs, or- Mm-hmm.Bacardi Razz, Bacardi Ol.My friends used to- Yes.give me so much shit when I drank those cause I'd just get, like, fucking white girl wasted.And they're like, Oh, he's having a fucking Razz attack.A little Razz attack.Just giving me shit.Oh.That's funny.Not to mention, they're all like, You fucking pussy.You're drinking this, like, ginger juice.I- it's okay.It's got a hint of raspberry, but it's not real strong raspberry- Mm-hmm.Yeah.like flavoring at all.It's, yeah, it's a seltzer.I don't know.I'd give it, like, a seven.Yeah.Yeah.I'd say, like, 6.I don't know.B- cu- like, all the old, like, seltzers, like, the Mike's Hard- Yeah.that made me puke one night, so, like, that sort of taste just brings back bad memories.All right.Well, we're gonna try a different flavor, and that one's lime.This one's the lime flavor.Is it lime or kiwi?I thought I read kiwi.Is it really?Mine says kiwi.Oh, okay.It looks like a lime, though.This one's kiwi.Not lime, it's kiwi.Just kidding.I don't know how to read.I don't know how I feel about this one.Smells better than the last one.Smells like toothpaste.Like kids toothpaste.Toothpaste?Oh, god.This is fucking awful.I like this one better.Holy fuck.It smells like toothpaste.Well, maybe it wouldn't- Ugh.taste so bad if you didn't say.We sell the shit out of this stuff.Mm-hmm.We have to order it literally every week.My buddy was drinking it this weekend.I don't know which ones he had, but, yeah, that kiwi's fucking disgusting.Where do you get toothpaste from that?I don't know.I smell the kids toothpaste.Kids toothpaste?Yeah.Smells like fluoride or some shit.That- No need to know that.That's it, yes.Yeah.That's exactly it.So, I'm assuming, eh, meh, mehI don't know.I just gotta- I give it, like, a seven.negative fucking 10.Negative 10.Renee?I give it a seven.Okay.It's a seven.So you like the kiwi better than the Razz?Yes.Ugh.Cause it doesn't remind me of- Yuck.What's wrong with you?high school alcohol.Um, as we were talking about yourYou worked here over your first summer out of high school, um, and then getting prepared to go to college.Mm-hmm.And you got accepted into Duluth.Mm-hmm.And the plan was you were gonna go up there- Wow, I can't wait.and then come back at Christmas, work here.Mm-hmm.Or come back on weekends and work here.Yeah.And stuff like that.Um, so tell us, what, what di- what were you going to school for up there?Um- I want to say it was business, wasn't it?Yeah, it was business and marketing.Um, and it just wasn't my vibe, I guess.So you gotYou're a freshman, and you got into a dorm.Yes, and it was- How many roommates did you have?There was 4 of us girls.Cause I was like, you had a lot of roommates.Yes.There was 4 of us girls on campus apartments.Okay.So there was still, like, no drinking or anything allowed.Yeah.Like, it was still on campus.Um, and at first, me and all the girls got along very well, but I think it's because, like, I grew up with guys who were seniors up there.Okay.So, like, my first night up there - Ah.I totally forgot about that.My first night up there, the guys I grew up with invited me to their house party.Sure.So I went, and I was the first one to move in.So I was all moved in by the time these girls- TheSo you were the first one in there, okay.Yeah, I was, I was already moved in and out atAnd then, by the time I came back, so like, I was- White girl wasted.White girl wasted.Like, fresh white.Fresh little girl.White, white, yes.Oh, my God.Duluth parties.Uh, oh, my God.So, II remember my brothers called me a taxicab.This was before Uber and everything.They called me a taxicab and there was another girl on the corner waiting for the cab for me who was going to, like, the same place.Okay.So somehow, they're like, You 2 are taking the same cab.And I don't know what it was, but me and this girl just started fighting.Really?Like, just started, like, brawling- What?on the street corner.What?What?What do you mean what"?Fucking savages.Jesus.But I ended up getting into the cab-with this girl.With her.What the fuck?And we're fine, but she had ripped- You're all, like, close quarters.You're like, All right.I know.Fucking Civilization rules or whatever.She must've said something shitty or something.Yeah.I don't know.Well, yeah, back then a girl could look at me wronggo nuts, but I was wearingI remember I was wearing, like, Abercrombie jeans that were, like, came pre-ripped and everything.Yeah.And she ripped off- Ripped them all off.one of my pant legs so I had half shorts on.What?What the fuck?Who does that?So I get back to my dorm.I can't get in cause I don't have my key, so I wait around for somebody to let me in the building.So they let me in the building, I get up to my floor.I can't get in my apartment, so I'm- You're super good at this game.I know.So I'm banging on the apartment door and finally the girls open the door.It's like 3:00 in the morning.Oh.Oh.They open the door and they're like, You must be- Serious, you a fucking mess.They're like, You must be Renee.What napAnd I'm, like, sitting- Does it look like a drowned rat coming in hot?I'm sitting on the floor, like, in the hallway, like, with my half shorts, half pants.And they open the door and they're like, You must be Renee.I'm likeI'm your other roommate.We heard stories.I'm your new roommate.I know, and then, um, so then after that- You're all of a sudden, What the fuck kind of shit try to sign up for?Yo, what the fuck are you sitting on for her?they, the next morning, you know.I know.The next morning, I wake up and they're like, Where were you?And I told them, like, and they're like, Well, how are you already at a senior party?they- I was like, I don't know.I grew up with them.They're like my brothers.So then- You're like, Bitch, I know people.Right.Yeah, I know people.So then from there on out, they wanted to go, like, all the parties with me.But then, like, halfway through that semester, they turned and they were so mean, like they were the meanest girls ever.I remember this.And, um, finally, yeah, I just was like, This isn't for me.So, okay.What I rememberedOne of the stories that when I think about Duluth in college, I think of you and I think of this story.So she wasShe came back here on Christmas break, but she knew that she wasn't gonna go back to Duluth.Like, she's, she was done.Yeah.She had packed up all of her shit, but she was the last one to leave.Everyone else had already left.And now she was not vibing with these girls at all.They're mean.They was- I don't know, like, yeah.Fucking bitches.Yeah.So, um, well, first of all, do you regret not sticking it out?Do you regret not going back?UmmAnd ending up going there.No, I mean, honestly, I've had a lot of shit happened in my life and I don't think I really regret anything.Okay.It's definitely a learning experience.Yeah.Um, I'm happy that I had the experience, cause, you know, a lot of kids don't have the, um, college dorm life experience.I think it's necessary.Yeah.Um, but- Yours was pretty short-lived.Yeah, I just, I mean, I learned that it just wasn't for me.Did you even go to class?Yep, there it is.I went to some classes.It was a very expensive $9,000 experience.Oh, like that wo- So-fucking movie where he's like, I dabbled.Oh, yeah.I did, I did dabble in some classes.For, like, 9 years.So IThis story just makes me laugh.So she comes back and she's telling me and Sarah this, what she did to her roommates before she left.She fucking opened up cans of tuna- Ugh.and hid them throughout the fucking dorm- Whoa.before she left.What the- Knowing they're all gonna be gone for 2 weeks.Fuck.So they came back to that smell in their- Just rancid- She goes-just, like, pouring that juice, like, in the carpet or something.And she goes, I fucking hid them so good, they're gonna have a long time trying to find all those cans.I'm like- That's gotta be the worst, too, cause it's like, you know there's a smell, so you obviously know there's something in there.But how many?How many?And the thing is, like- And then where the fuck are they?The furniture in there, like, the furniture is bolted down.But, like, underneath the dressers, there's, like, the little decorative, like, arch.Yep.So I, like, slid them under there as far as I could.Oh, my God.They're probably still- It wasn't, like, one can.There was, like, several.Yeah.Ugh, just dried out, crusty eggs.My mom helped.I would've loved to have, like, seen their- Your mom helped?She sure did.What?I totally would've had them.She sure did.Ah, that's awesome.She probably didn't want to give you the fucking idea.Well, no.No, that's hilarious.If she does.I don't know yourI didn't know your mom.My mom she's very- She's like, I've been there, done that.We'll fix these bitches wagons.Yeah.No, she's- My mom, that's the thing is my- my mom is a saint.Like, she's very, like, she wouldn't do any of that.But, like, I remember one time in, um, high school, our house kept getting, like, messed with.Like, they put, like, like, um, like the blocking, like, of a road closure at the end of our driveway.Oh, yeah.What the fuck?They forked our yard, they egged our house.So finally one day- Wow.me and my ex, well, my, uh, Kyle- Yep.before we were married, in high school, she was so sick of people messing with us, she bought us both a dozen eggs and told us to hide.Yes.She says, If anybody comes by, egg them.Well, that's funny.That'd be awesome.Ah, I've never met your mom, have I?Um, probably not.Let's see.No.No, probably not.No.She sounds amazing.She, yeah, she is amazing.Um, so if you today, how old are you?37.37.So 20 years later, what would you tell 18-year-oldUm, to shut the fuck up sometimes.Shut the fuck up is a lesson to Chrissie.Yes, yes.Um, I don't know.Honestly, like, I just had so much fun in high school, and I, I mean, I guess looking back on it now, I'd probably say don't marry him.Yeah.But, uh, I don't know.Like, Ilife is just- But you learned.Yeah.Do you feel like you learned from that marriage?Like you learned what youI mean, cause like I had a son, you know?Mm-hmm.With my, my son's dad.Never married him, but we were together for 6 years.Yeah.And I just feel like I got my son from him, and I learned a lot about at least what I don't want.Yeah.Yes.And what, what I don't want in a relationship or a marriage or anything like that.Mm-hmm.So, I mean, I feel like even the shitty relationships, they all give us a learning experience that we- Oh, yeah.You're gonna learn something.wouldn't other, you know, we wouldn't have experienced any other way than through heartache and- Yeah.fucking turmoil.Right.Um, Maddie can relate.We all gotta go through it sometimes.I know.Okay, so we're gonna do our second drink.We're doing these Sunny D's.I wanna try

Don't do it, you don't need to get married, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.I know, I know.But she was gonna Renee wanted to do.Um, so why, what, what was the dis- the deciding factor?Was it knowing that he was gonna be deployed he, you guys got married?It's just what army people do.Oh.Just get married.Because I wanna, I wanna s- uh, in my mind though, I'm thinking, it's because he's gonna be deployed that you- Well yeah, so-got married so quick.He's gonna be deployed, so.But I mean, I guess you were engaged already, so.Yes.We were engaged already.I think the biggest thing when it comes to military people and getting married so quickly is the pay difference.Oh.You get to live off of post, you get to live in your own- Okay.Either un- in military housing.So if you live in military housing, you don't get the extra money, um, you just live in a shitty house on post.Oh.Um, or you can live off post, and I think it was like an add- extra $800 a month.Okay.So, but that's kind of it, is like- That was-that's why a lot of people- Would you live- The money factor.Yeah.Did you live on base then or off?We lived off base.Off?We bought a home, like, right across the street from, like, the main gate of base.Mm-hmm.Yeah, I knew it was near the base.I thought maybe it was on base.Did you live on base at all, ever?Uh, when I moved down there, I lived, um, in the barracks with him for like a week, and our dog.Okay, yeah.And then- I knew there was something like that.Yeah, and that was, that's not okay.Awesome?Yeah.And you guys bought a house right away?Yes.So when he got deployed, you were down there?You were down in Kentucky when he was deployed?I was down in Kentucky, um, and then- But did you come back?I was back here for a little bit.Yeah.Yeah, I was gonna say, for whatever reason, I remember you came back- Mm-hmm.and, you know, stayed here, cause there was no reason for you to be down there for whatever.Right, yeah.And then, but that, okay, so that's when we bought the house.So, I forgot about this.A lot of this marriage I've blocked-um, out of my memory.Um- Yeah.Funny that we're here, it's bringing everything up.Um, so before his deployment, we lived, I forgot, with his sergeant and family, and I nannied for them, and we stayed with them.Okay.And then they deployed, and then I came up here for a little bit, and then I went back down there, bought a house, got that ready for whenever he came back from deployment.So you bought the house on your own without him- Well-even seeing it?Yes.Okay.Yeah.I had to come back down here a couple of times to look at homes, and then I ended up, you know, finally finding one and buying it.Just picking one and buying it?Yeah.Nice.I mean, you're 19, like- Yeah.You can look at one house and be like, Yeah.I want my first home.Yeah, right?I want this one.Fuck yeah.Then you look at the next one, you're like, I'll take this one too.Yeah, whatever, I'll take all of them.Um, so when he was deployed, I mean, how was it, were you nervous?Were you, like, ready for him to go?Like were you, uh, tell, walk us through that feeling of like- Where was he deployed to?somebody you just married is now going off to war.Yeah, so this was, what, 5, 6 years post 9/11, which was, I mean, terrifying for all of us.Yeah.Um, it was scary.I, I was terrified for him.You know, like, being a new wife.Yeah.Your husband's going off, you don't know what's gonna happen.Right.Um, and that was back before, now, I mean, their deployments, no offense military people, but your deployments are a lot different.Um, because a lot of times you can take your phone with you now.Oh.Before I c- you couldn't.Oh.Like, I heard from him, like, once a week on a satellite phone.Um, I heard everything in the background, and it was not- And you weren't, did, were you even allowed to know where he was at?Um, knew- The general area, I'm sure.Yeah, the general area.The country that he's in.Yes.Cause he was in Iraq.Yeah.That was Yeah.He was in Iraq.He was, um, in Baghdad.And yeah, there was times where we could, umI can't remember.Maybe it was Zoom- Sure.back in the day.I don't know what we used.Yeah.Yeah.But there were some times we could see each other on camera.Um, a lot of times- Probably really shitty.Yeah.Yeah, it was super shitty.Um- Just gritty fucking- Literally.bitch.Literally.Like watching when you were a kid.Yeah, trying to watch- Trying to watch the porn.Porn, yeah.Yeah, the fuzzy porn.That's basically what it was, seeing my husband, yeah.I see a boob.Yeah.I know.Exactly.It's probably what it was, him watching me too, trying to take my shirt off more.Yeah, right?He's like, Just get naked.Yeah.Just get naked.but yeah, it was, it was not a, um, easy experience for either one of us.Oh.Um, he did go through a lot of stuff over there, um, a lot of very close calls.He went throughHe was a gunner on the top of a, um, Humvee, which means, like- Oh, God.Yes.That'd be such a sketchy position- Yeah.to be in.Yep, and get- Being, like, the most vulnerable.And how old was, was Kyle at the time?Kyle is 19.Vulnerable.Just a kid.Yep.Fuck.To be put into that position.I know.Um- You know what's fucked up is, like, that kid gets to run around shooting fucking.50 cal machine guns, right?Yeah.Killing people, but can't come back here and buy a fucking beer.Can't even buy cigarettes nowadays.What?Oh, yeah.They changed the age.You gotta be 21 to smoke.What?Why?Well, welcome to 2025, Paul.Holy fuck.Yeah.Yeah.When did they pass that?years ago.6 years ago?Really?Yeah.ItWhat?So I had to wait a year after being 18.Cause itYeah, you used to be 18, and now it's 21 to buy smokes.What the fuck?Yeah, it's so dumb, but whatever.Um- Yeah, it didn't affect me.No.I don't give a fuck.affect me either.You're like, Son of a bitches.So you were able to speak with him, but not very often.Yeah.You said.Um- He was definitely a different person when he came back.I willI'll say that much.Um- He was?Okay.Yeah.I, um- And how long was he gone in total?So this was- The first deployment, cause he was deployed for sure once.Yeah.This was before theyI think they changed everything for a while, and I don't know what it is now.But, um, be- he was gone for, I think, 13 or 14 months.Oh, it was that long.Yeah, and then they changed it shortly after they got back to, um, I think maybe 6 or couldn't be longer than 12 months or something.Oh, really?Because that'sI mean, that's a really long time for those guys to be gone.Yeah, like a whole year?Yeah, that's a long time, especially just starting out a marriage.Well, especiallyShit, yeah.I was just gonna say, especially starting out a marriage.You've been fuckingWell, I mean- Come on.if you think of it, it's like your adult life.Like- Yes.you are so muchThat, that's like who you're becoming as, like, who you're gonna probably be for the rest of your life.You're transitioning.Yes.And that's the first thing that you encounter after high school out of your parents wings.Yeah.Is that.Like, that is- That's a lot.So yeah.That's a lot.He, he went through a lot, and he was, uh, a lot different when he came home.Um, so let's talk a little bit about Jim.Aw.So- I love Jim.Me too.What was your experience with Jim?So I couldn't even remember.Like I said, after he died, my whole world just flipped upside down, so I don't remember, I think, a lot of stuff, like how it happened or in order of how it happened.Yeah.So I'm to the point now where I'm starting to think that some of the stuff that Jim and I did, Mike did them with me.You know what I mean?It's just all so jumbled up in my mind, butSo you got to experience Jim a little bit.Um, what, what was your experience of him?HeMan, Jim was amazing.The first time you met him.Let's just- Um, huge.A lot.But, like, I lo- I loved it though.Yeah.Like, it's so funny because as much as, like, Jim was this big, like, hard ass dude.Like-He would've been such a good girl dad.Oh.He really would've.Oh, God, yes.He would've been such a good girl dad.Yeah.He babied me.Oh my God.It was so funny.He literallyHe just babied all of us girls.Yeah.And, um, I, I, I really did look at him like he could've been a second dad to me.Good.And, um, I don't know.He was just so much fun, and like, his very- He's just a giant kid.Yes.Literally.You know what I would wanna see?Is, like- Giant kid.if you guys had a daughter, and then thatShe brings home some kid that he's or she's dating.She'd become a lesbian because she couldn't bring anybody home.Yeah, right?Like, literally.Dude.Oh, my God.Be like, I got you, Dad.You just show up to this motherfucker.You're like-Ah, fuck.This ain't gonna end well.Oh, I know.Exactly.He's the reason probably why you all didn't get to know Kyle that well.Well, I don't- Cause I guarantee you if I would've brought Kyle around, he would've been like, What the fuck?I'll be honest.Right?Who the fuck is this kid?I don't thinkNo, cause that was his- Mm-hmm.That was his daughter.Basically, yeah.Like, in his mind.In his mind, she's- Yeah.Literally.the perfectAs crazy and as mental as she is.Fucking Twisted Tornado is what she is.But he, Mike just loved her.her.Absolutely.Like, justShe could do no wrong.No.No, she really couldn't.She could do no wrong.Mm-hmm.I mean, she tried but- He was really close with Carrie as well.Yeah.Yeah.Um, but Sarah just wasYeah.You know, he wishedAnd Sarah didn't have a, really, a dad, so it kinda worked for both of them in that aspect, you know?Yeah.Yeah.So, um, well, glad that you did get to meet Jim and you did get to experience him.Yeah.Cause I know ithe died not long after, His funeral was amazing.Yeah.That was something.Man, that was, that was something.Yeah.And I know you were there for that because you guys were all wearing your short shorts and your Harley Davidson shirts thatThose- The Frontier Girls.Yep, yep.Yeah.It's exactly what he would've wanted.Yeah.Exactly what he would've wanted.Right.Um, ah, and I didn't bring it cause I got in such a hurry this morning, but I s- you, she made me a book after Jim passed away.You did.Do you remember that?No.A picture book.Did I?Yes.And it's a scrapbook.Sounds like something I would do.And you went online, probably Myspace at the time-and like got all these pictures- This fucking creeper.off there, printed em.And made, like, these little poems and stuff.I still, to this day, 20 some years later, 20 years later, I have it displayed- Aw.in my living room.Aw.Aw.I have to wipe the dust off of it every now and then.And I was gonna grab it to, to bring to show up, but I- Oh, I wish you would've.completely forgot.But it means the world to me.I sh- still cherish it.Like I said, I'd still displayed right in the same spot that it's been forever.For the last 20 years.Um, so I really appreciate that, yeah.Literally.Yeah.Um, well, let's talk about your move to Kentucky.Um, so the deciding factor on that move was, um, obviously the military.Yeah.Right?Yep.He was based down there.How did youWere you excited for the move?You, were you excited to start a life down there or were you kind of dreading it?No, I could not wait to get out of that sucker.To get out of there, okay.Oh my God.We literallySo the way I moved forHe was there and then it wasWe left on, I think-New Year's Eve night, and his, he was in Kentucky, I was up here.His best friend, Jessie, was here, um, and he had his truck, so we packed up all of my stuff in my parent's snow mobile trailer.Mm-hmm.And Jessie and I hooked up to it, and just dipped on out.And we got there, um- Like peace motherfuckin mom.Yep.We got there January 1st, and then I got married, I think, January 8th.Did you?Yep.Damn, girl.Oh, I still remember that day.So you were excited to start on your own.Leaving your f- leaving all of us.I know, I left everybody.Leaving your family, your friends, Fucking asshole.Because I know you and Sarah were really close at that time.Yes, we were very close.And I know that she came down there I think quite a few times to- Mm-hmm.She sure did.visit with you and stuff like that.Um- Are you guys doing a podcast?Yeah.We are.Are you really?Yes.You wanna be in on it?Oh my God.You just fucking wrecked it.What theI'm just kidding.Say hi.Hi.So you left, went down there.What did you do down there for work?Like you just said you nannied for the, the one person for a while.Just started.Yeah, I nannied for them, and then I think my very first job was waitressing at, like, this little diner.Okay.Um, we livedOh, we did rent a house too.God bless.All these memories are coming up.We did, so we did rent a house.And it was in like, it was in a rough part of town.Okay.Because I remember when I started waitressing, there was a table full of sheriff's deputies and I, I mean, like, where we lived, Hopkinsville, is a very small town and, um, they didn't, I mean they didn't recognize me.They were like, Oh, you're new here.You're new, yeah.Whatever.They're like, So where are you staying at?And I told them, uh, Well, I'm renting a house off of Bell Street.And you would've thought it was like the record like stops and they're like- Oh, damn.You're living on Bell Street?Oh, shit.And I was like- You're like, Ah, fuck.Is it that bad?I don't know.No, no.I, I- It's like an 8 mile or what?Yeah, no shit right.It is, it was such a culture shock because back then, like, Minnesota was like, well, I mean, growing up in Zimmerman-Alker River- Yeah.it was just all white folks.Minnesota in the 90s, everyone was nice as fuck.Like nothing like, um, you just had some like crackheads in Zimmerman, that's probably the most culture we had.Yeah, the meth addicts.Yeah, literally.And then, so then I go down there and it's, I mean, it's an army base and there's every culture- Everybody.every race, everything.Everyone from all over the country.Yeah, yeah.They set up in there with their paws.And then little old me, these deputies, I'm like, Yeah, I live on Bell Street.Like, why?They're like, Are you by yourself?And I said, No, you know my husband's in the military.We have a pit bull.And they're like, you know they took a breath, they're like, Well, thank God.Um, and yeah.It turns out that we lived across one of the biggest crack houses, um, across the street from us.Aw.Super nice guys, though.Was your rent very high?Yes.Right.They were really nice guys.They really were.Oh, I'm sure they were.They were.They were very nice guys, actually, and then their house got raided and they went to jail and then their- Um- I swear I had nothing to do with that.I know.I know.After just so- I mean, okay, this is how-telling them to talk to the sheriff some shit.This is how naive I was.So, like, we're moving in whenever, um, we get done moving and Kelyan's like, um, "Renee, I think we live a cr- across the street from the drug dealers."And I was like, "Why, 'cause they're black?"You know, like, all that.Right.You know, like don't say that.Yeah, right.And he's like, "No," like- Because- He was like-there's high traffic?There's aYeah.He's like, "There's a car there every 5 minutes."Yeah, there's like 30 cars coming in every- all day long.I was like, "Well, maybe they have a lot of friends."Yeah.Yep, sure it sure was.Friends that stay for 5 minutes and leave.Yeah.Yeah, very successful guys, very nice, but- That'll give you a pretty good clue.Yeah.Yeah, nice guys.Pretty good clue.Really, honestly.Big E and Little Mike was their names.Biggie?Very ni- Big E.Oh, Big E.And Little Mike.Okay.That's awesome.Nice guys.They did, they watched over the house.Whenever Kyle went to the field he let them know.Um, they would shoo, like, crack heads off of my front porch.They were good guys.Yes, wow.That's awesome.I mean, as long as they were good to you.Yeah, right?That's all that matters.So you got a w- you got a job waitressing.You already said that you were renting a house off the- Mm-hmm.kiddie area.Um, so fast forwarding, the marriage with Kyle didn't work out as- Mm-hmm.we know.Um, we're not really gonna get into the details of all of that.But how long were you guys actually married then?We were married legally for six and a half years.Okay.So I think, um, I would say, like, the last year and a half was kind of a, um, a downfall and a struggle.Sure.So, yeah.Okay.Like, to- in total, like, I guess including- So was it when he ended his military career that kind of things went south?Um, yeah.He had gotten a couple jobs.Um, I think the last job that he got when he went to Reno, Nevada, um, just kind of got himself mixed with the wrong people and, uh, just some stuff happened and, I mean, again, we were very young.Yeah.And very, um, impressionable.Uh, but, I mean, honestly to this day I'm, I try to be a really forgiving person.Yeah.So I- I really do hope that- So at this point you're 20- Yeah.25, I think?25 years old?Yeah, no 24 I think.Okay.Yeah.But, yeah.so you get divorced.You move to Kentucky because that's where he was going to be.But yet when the divorce happened, you stayed in Kentucky and he came back.Yes, I did.Yes.Yes, I did.So what was that deciding factor?What was going on in Kentucky that you,What- It was the derby.That you decided to stay?You just wanted to wear that fancy fucking hat.It was, it was the derby.Yeah, it was the derby of bourbon.Yep.I knew it.Um, no, I guess just in those 6 years or whatever that I was there, I had just planted my roots and- Okay.I had built such a community of people andThat's good.Um, I think I was working at a golf course at the time that was like a semi-private and I had done- Oh, that would be a fun job.Yeah, it was super fun.Fuck.I was a cart girl.Fun.Oh my God.Oh my God.They made banks pop.Other than this place, itYes, good money and- Right?super fun.Yeah, okay.We- we were out at the golf course.I don't golf for shit, but I went with my buddies this weekend and they're like, "Yeah, we- we're just gonna go golf."And I'm like, "Sweet, I'm gonna sit at this cart and fucking drink.You guys go golf."Like, I tried, I tried it.Like, I- I did the first hole and it was, I think, a par 3, I got 4.I don'tI think they said it was like a bogey or something.Not bad.So it wasn't bad.Not bad.Fucking dumbest sport there is, dude.I just cannot stand it.Uh, justIt's like- I don't know.here, let's hit a ball and then- If you're trash-hey, go chase it.playing and you're not taking it serious it can be really fun, but- I don't even see how it could be fun then, 'cause it's like you still gotta go find your fucking ball and chase it down.If you want.It's like fuck this.Yeah.This podcast- Get another one.Yeah.This podcast is literally turning into how much Paul hates golf.Right?Because this is the second episode that he's talked about- It's so bad.how much he hates golf.It was- Well, place, I own a place on a golf course up north in Hill City.You're the one in Hill City?I love Hill City.Yeah.And I've golfed it twice.Really?Twice.And neverThe entire time with Jim we never, he would've never gotten golf course for anything.Yeah, 'cause it's fucking stupid game.But then I had golf clubs and we pretty fucking hammered up one day and we were just like, "Fuck yeah, let's just play" and it was only 9 holes.Oh, dude, I'd accidentally hit, like, a house or some shit.Oh,Dude, like- I used 2 golf clubs, the putter and the driver, and that was it.That's all you need.Yeah, that's all I, like, did.That's all you need.Yep, needed.When we were up there fi- this is fucking funny 'cause it was a small course so, like, you only, you use a wedge I think what they call it, or something, on every hole.On a putter.It's like a par 3.Oh, you'reThere was no drivers.Right.one of my buddies, he's like super confident on this hole and he's like, "I bet you 50 bucks I can get within 10 feet of the hole."I'm like, "No fucking way."I'm like, "Bet."So he's like, "Well, you gotta give me odds."I'm like, "What?Why?"And I'm likeHe's like, "Three to one."So I'm like, "I owe you 150 then?"He's like, "Yeah."I'm like, "Fuck it.Bet."He walked up so confident, like he was gonna fucking damn near drain this thing, right?Gets up there, hits it, just fucking yoink.Goes shooting across, bounces off, like, the little fucking, uh, cart path and shit.Yeah, yeah.Yeah.Oh my God, it was fucking hilarious.Bender, you owe me 50 bucks.Uh-huh.Here y'all bucks.So you stayed together for 6 years.Mm-hmm.And then-You just both kind ofDid you both agree that it wasn't going to work, or did you leave him?Did he leave you?Like, how did it end?Oh.So without getting into too much- Yeah, you don't need to get into super details.yes, out of respect for him.He moved back to Minnesota.Yep.Um, he did not want to come back and work on the marriage in Kentucky, and I did not want to go to Minnesota.Okay.Um- And that was that.That wasSo you couldPretty much you agreed that it was over and done and- Yes.In other words- Did the divorce itself get messy or was it pretty easy?No, it was really easy, um, because we don't have kids.Right.Uh, we didn't have any assets except for the house.House.Um- Now, did you keep the house?Did you buy him out of it?No.Or did you sell it?He, he kept the house.Um, so it was in his name, um, and I just told him, like, you know, "I'm not staying here."Yeah.Um, and so he kept it.I don't know.I- So he must have sold it, obviously.I don't know.'Cause he moved back.Yeah.So I know where you lived.You weren't too far from Nashville.Not very far from Nashville at all.At all.Like an hour?An hour or so.We're about 45, 50 minutes from Nashville.Yeah.And I know I've seen through your, um, Instagram and stuff that you went there, not a lot, but- No.you went there a few times.Mm-hmm.That I could see.So what was your favorite bar in Nashville and why?Um, uh, to be honest, I wasn't a big fan of downtown because it was very, like, touristy and stuff.Yeah.But I do love that city because- Yes.Hmm.No matter how much- Nashville is fucking awesome.I know.It is amazing.Yeah.And, like, no

you meet him, and what was it about him that decide- was the deciding factor like, Oh, I'll marry him"?I don't know.UmThe way that we filmed it.That we literallyUm, I don't know.It'd been like maybe 3 or 4 years since my last divorce.Yep.And, um, I was working at a rock quarry at the time, um, that mythis ex-husband's company was moving the dirt, like, the earth for us- Okay.because were gonna shoot a shot in the rock.So they were moving all the earth off the rock for us, we were drilling holes and packing it with dynamite.And I don'tI really don't know what it was.I know that he told me, um, cause I was one of the only girls that worked at the rock quarry, and I had just got done packing a shot with dynamite, and they had to go check on things, so somebody has to sit on that shot for safety.So what was your job?I was a, uh- Is this like, is this like fucking couch, uhit called?Couch- Ted Talk.Yeah, it's a Ted Talk.Ted Talk.Straight as hell.Oh, there's a nevermind.Yep, you just fucked everything up.Way to go.I'm just kidding.No, you didn't.Start over.No.Now I gotta do this whole fucking thing?Yes.Goddamn it.even.Fucking an hour and a half in and you just wrecked it.My

who knows?So you met him there.Yes.Or he met you.was a heavy equipment operator.I was sitting on a full, like, rock wall- Well, wait a minute.So how did you learn that?You just get to bullshit up, right?Um- How the fuck does this even happen?You go to school if you have any equipment?No, I like literally bullshitted my entire life.Oh, like- Yeah, yeah, like you just walk in, this hot chick walks in, you're like, Yeah, we'll let you run whatever you want.Exactly.We don't give a fuck, see what happens.Yeah.I mean, not far off, um- Yeah, right?my boss- A ton of dudes just like never seen a hot chick, just like, Ah, fuck, whatever you wanna do, you can have a job.My boss thereI've literally gotten jobs that way.I know, and I know you have too.Exactly.Exactly.Well, that's how I got it.He wasUm, he would come to the bar I was bartending at.And then I wasCause I was also going into, like, nursing school at the time.I don't know how we got on the topic of it, but he was like, You should come work at the rock quarry.And like, he gave me a number of what he'd pay.I'm like, Fuck yeah.Yeah, I imagine that's great.Yeah, right?And, uh, and I was like, Yeah, but I don't know how to run equipment.And so he ended up teaching me.I started just driving the water truck- Yep.which is the easiest job ever.Yeah.Yeah.Like, you just fill up the water truck- Empty the water truck.blow all the water out in like 15 seconds-and then go spend an hour and a half filling it up again.UmThat sounds great.But then from there they taught me how to run the equipment and then, like, from there, taught me how to, uh, play with dynamite, um, so- Oh, God, that sounds glorious.Why'd you quit this job?I don'tOh, because we, um, the job site ended up- You blew off the wrong shit, didn't you?Yes.No.It's gone now.The whole place is gone.He no longer has a job.It's leveled.Yeah, right.Just leveled the fucking company.We had no more rocket fuel left.Like, if they off- Right?it wouldn't just strike me.Dude!that's a, okay, so that's how- You give her a fucking dynamite, super emotional- Oh.It's like, Get fucked, motherfucker.Yes.She's not messing with coot tunica any more.That's literally- She's messing with dynamite.We're fucking up their game.That's literally, like, part of how me and this guy met.So I'm sitting there, I had to sit there and wait because- Both just strung on old employees.once everything is hacked, somebody has to stay up there for safety.And they're working behind me, and they're on lunch break, and one of his buddies was like, Hey, she's by herself finally.Go holler at her.Um, and he's looking at me, and there's, it's, again, a field of dynamite.I'm sitting there smoking a cigarette on top of it and he was like- This sounds about right.He was like, She is smoking a cigarette on dynamite.She doesn't give a fuck about me or anybody right now.And I was like, You're correct.I'm pretty sure that's not all but sh- all, all she's saying.She says, god, she's just burning one right on the top of dynamite.And, and well, also, I was so mad because it was windy and cold and they just left me.Like, no vehicle, nothing.So yeah- Like 0 thought to give them up.I, it was, yeah.It was a good idea that he didn't come talk to me.But then, like later on at the bar we were all there with my crew- Just on warpath.Yeah.So you met him there.Yes.And then you started, he asked you out?He asked me on a date.Did you become friends first?Um, no, he asked me on a date.Our first date was a 12-mile kayak paddle.Oh, okay.That's aggressive.Um, yeah.I'm a very aggressive woman.So.Well, you, you definitely like your excursions.Yes.You like to hike- Yes.you know, all that stuff.Yeah.So- So that's right up your alley.Yeah.We had that in common, like we had hunting, fishing, kayaking in common.Because you're definitely a wilderness- Yes.girl, girl.And then, I don't know, just from there we dated for 5 years before he proposed to me.5 years you were with him?Mm-hmm.Oh, I thought this was- Well-kind of a quick thing.No, dated for 5 years and then, um, got engaged and then were married for 2.Okay.I did not know that.I thought you kind of met him and just did a whirlwind- Nope.thing.So you were with him, you put time in.7 year stretch.Yes.Okay.All right.Yeah.Very much a time person.So what happened there without getting into too much detail?Oh, god.Um.Just- He just, the longer time went on, he really showed his true personality.Oh.And, um, it ended up being just a safety factor for myself- Okay.and I finally got out of it.Okay.So he was kind of dangerous.Was he a heavy drinker?He smoked a lot of weed.When he didn't have weed or when he was running low his, like, crazy would come out- Oh, really?He'd get really aggressive.Um, he actually just went to jail last month for first degree strangulation charges, so.Against a girl?Yes.Oh, man.Fuck.Yep.So I dodged a bullet- Yeah.Or he dodged a bullet because I would've shot him if he would've done that to me.Yeah.Right?ButYeah, he did dodge a bullet.I don't know if he would've dodged a bullet beating on weed.No, he wouldn't have dodged a bullet, I would've killed, I would've killed him.Probably wouldn't have even moved and just been like, Ah, fuck.This happens.Yeah, he did drink a lot.Shit.Am I bleeding?Um, he smoked a lot of weed and he had a lot of anger problems.Yeah, like, normally, yeah, if you don't have it?No.Yeah.I've never heard of anyone not being able to get high and like getting violent though.Hmm, interesting.Obviously has some violent tendencies in him.Great
