Greetings 405 listener!
The 405 airs over KMMR Radio Station. At 5 Minutes past 4 PM. Normally each M-F week day of the year. Here on the website we'll get it posted for you within a few hours, normally.
Your neighbor and website maintainer,
D.J. Rasmussen
P.S. Oct 8th, 2025 Update. Finally back and published the Oct 3, 6th & 7th episodes, today on the 8th. We've had a recording equipment failure, hopefully fixed by tomorrow or very soon. Until then, I'm picking up the KMMR master recording copy and publishing that the day after The 405 airs or as soon as possible. Thanks for stopping by and listening.
I wanna again welcome you to the 04:05 coffee break. Guys, get you a cup of coffee, glass iced tea, bottle of water. Let's see what's happening out there. Spring wheat, $5.14 a bushel. 550 pounds steer calf, $3.41 a pound on the top end.
OK Solberg:I'll tell you more about Orvin eating crow later. Butcher hog in Iowa will bring you 61ยข a pound and a 100 pound lamb that's fat in Billings, $2 and a nickel, $2.05 a pound. But guys, there's more, much more.
OK Solberg:Okay. It's Friday, and I have our Friday bible verse to set the stage. Here it is. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, rather, in humility value others above yourselves. Philippians 2:5 I selected that verse for a very important reason. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.
OK Solberg:See? If I disregard that verse, well, I just might talk about baseball all the time. I like baseball. You know that. But not everyone enjoys it as much as I do, so I shouldn't try to shove my stuff down your throats all the time.
OK Solberg:But did you hear that Cal Raleigh from the Seattle Mariners now has hit 60 home runs in a single season? The most of any catcher in the history of the sport, Oh, yeah. And did you know the regular season ends on Sunday, the day after tomorrow? That means the playoffs start on Tuesday. Yes.
OK Solberg:Oh, yeah. And the World Series begins on October 24. But enough of that. I'm speaking out of selfish ambition. I know some that like to look at old Phillips County newspapers, so let's do that.
OK Solberg:Did you realize that back in 1980, some 45 years passed, Lynn and Don Brewer were married, as well as Alan and Christine Snyder. They too were married, and there's a couple here that tied the knot named Orvin and Thea that same year. 1980 was a good year. Flashback even further. In the fall of 1969, we see a front page heading that reads, Gene Peigneux shot Sunday by unknown party.
OK Solberg:Eugene Walter Gene Peigneux, 17, is reported to be doing well at the Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow after being struck with a high powered rifle while hunting on Sunday morning. Gene and his brother, Larry, 15, were hunting on separate ridges on their father's ranch north of First Creek Hall about 40 miles south of Malta. A stray rifle bullet hit Gene passing through his right wrist without touching the bone and into his right side passing through his body out through his back on the left side. End of quote. And I want you to know that Gene is still alive and doing well in the town called Billings, Montana because I spoke with him on the phone just yesterday.
OK Solberg:It wasn't his time, guys. Someone was looking over him. Now that story should never be forgotten. I'm gonna do even more on it on Monday. Okay.
OK Solberg:So I threw in a little baseball. Hey. Hey. I'm getting better. A little from old Phillips County newspapers.
OK Solberg:Now how about a bit of quilting trivia? Did you know that in World War two, American women made red Red Cross quilts for military personnel and donated them to hospitals in Europe. Some even stitched them out of flower sacks, parachute silk, or old clothing due to wartime rationing. Interestingly, secret messages and names were sometimes sewn into the quilts. A way to send love, to send prayers, or to send a patriotic encouragement to the front lines.
OK Solberg:I like that. The clock is ticking, but I have time for one more. You know, guys on The 405 we cover a vast array of items. For you old rock and roll lovers out there, did you realize in the 1969 hit song by the Rolling Stones titled Gimme Shelter? Now it was an apocalyptic anthem born out of the chaos of the late sixties.
OK Solberg:Guys, remember? Late sixties were tragic. Keith Richards wrote the haunting riff while waiting for his girlfriend who was late. Mick Jagger's vocals are searing, but what really made the song is Mary Clayton's spine chilling guest vocals recorded at 2AM while she was pregnant. And side note, Keith Richards is still alive and well at 81 years of age, and he'll turn 82 on December 18.
OK Solberg:All sorts of interesting stuff out there. I don't think I'll ever run out of things to talk about. And, oh, PS, Mustang football tonight in Cutbank. The Mustangs take on the Wolves. Go blue. Mustangs, undefeated thus far.
OK Solberg:So until next time, as you go out there, remember now, don't be bitter.
Doc The DJ:Okay. We have a special announcement, so I'm going to turn it over to Orvin to make the announcement.
OK Solberg:I wanna again welcome you to the 04:05 coffee break. No. That's not what I meant. We interrupt this program for this special bulletin. Guys, if you listen to The 405, I told you Alan and Christine Snyder got married. Don and Lynn Brewer got married back in 1980. In fact, Orvin and Thea got married back in 1980. But guess what? In 1980, KMMR came on the airwaves when? September 26th. That's today.
OK Solberg:I am so thankful that my friend Greg Kielb told me that. I said, I'll go down and do a special right now. That cannot be missed. 09/26/1980, KMMR went on the air, and that night, guess what was happening? Malta was playing football. Who were they playing against? The Cutbank Wolves. Congratulations, KMMR. 45 successful years, and doc, thank you very much.
