Greetings and Welcome to The 405 Coffee Break with O.K. Solberg
New episodes tend to air over the local KMMR radio station @ 5 minutes past 4PM each M-F. And have been doing so, nearly every week since Sept 2018.
I'm D.J. Rasmussen, O.K.s friend since junior high, possibly your neighbor & this websites maintainer, whom strives to get each episode's show notes written, the transcript proofed and the audio posted to the internet within a few hours of that days KMMR air time. NOTE: recently been publishing most new releases by 4:30PM.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy the time we can spend together.
I wanna again welcome you to the 405 coffee break. Friday, guys, the weekends near. Get you a cup of coffee, glass iced tea, bottle of water, blah blah blah blah blah. He says that every day. Spring Wheat $5.37 a pound.
OK Solberg:550lb steer calf $4.09. A butcher hog in Iowa, 57¢ a pound, and a 100lb fat lamb in Billings at a dollar 85. But guys, there's more, much more. I'll start out with a Bible verse. He will once again fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.
OK Solberg:Job 8:21 I'm feeling chipper. I'll share another Bible verse with you after I share my chipper story. Working cattle for Larry Matthews way back in the 1980s, we're running cattle through the chute, you know, one after another after another after another. The crew was working quietly, and no one was talking.
OK Solberg:All of a sudden, out of the blue with a smile on his face, Tom Bowes says, are you a chipper chopper? I don't know about chopper, but it sure made me chipper. And I'm feeling chipper today, so here's a 2nd bible verse for the price of one. We were filled with laughter and we sang for joy. And the other nation said, what amazing things the Lord has done for them.
OK Solberg:Psalm a 126 verse two. Yesterday, I started my episode with these words. If I knew the way, I'd go back home. But the countryside has changed so much, I'd surely end up lost, half remembering names and faces so far in the past. On the other side of bridges that were burned once, they were crossed.
OK Solberg:Tell me where. Where does a fool go when there's no one left to listen to a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear? Tell me where. Where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing? Tell me.
OK Solberg:Where do I go from here? To get back home where my childhood dreams and wishes still outnumber my regrets, get back to a place where I can figure on the odds, have a fighting chance to lose the blues, and win my share of bets. Tell me where. Where does a fool go when there's no one left to listen to a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear? Oh, it's a good one.
OK Solberg:It's a theme song from the movie Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, and it was written and sung by Paul Williams. I loved the movie. I loved the song. And suddenly, like a bear trap slammed shut, I realized when there's no one left to listen to a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear, Orvin, that's you. Say goodnight.
OK Solberg:So until next time, as you go out there, remember now, don't be bitter.
