Habitat Enrichment

Mar 16, 2023 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

My buddy used to work at a trucking business. He taugh me all the lingo and music
Christine 𓅓 8:24:17 AM
So he's imprisoned by the freedom of the road? 🤔 I guess we're not supposed to analyze the lyrics too deeply.
TAndy 8:24:17 AM
My uncle used to have a Jimmy, could be opened and started with any key hahahah

If your name is Red and you sing in a deep bass voice at times... you might be...
Brian D 8:26:23 AM
Was just thinking about Trout Fishing.. on the drive in today. Something made me think of "When I Was a Dinosaur"
Brian D 8:27:28 AM
This one 18 Wheels... and the Proper Coffee Pot song are fun to try to keep up singing along
Watching You Watching Mok 8:27:46 AM
18 wheels and a dozen roses

3s and 8s = slang for good luck i seem to remember..
Krista (host) 8:31:15 AM
yes, means "good luck" or best wishes but WHY ?? 3s and 8s?? what is lucky about 3s and 8s?
Brian D 8:32:00 AM
Another person who was huge on country radio. Kathy Mattea returned to her Bluegrass roots in recent decades as many do. And she kicks it!
Krista (host) 8:32:35 AM
yes, she has a good black lung song
Brian D 8:34:47 AM
3s & 8s: maybe originated from codes speak on amateur radio. Shortened from 2 digit codes for common sign off/ goodbye phrases. No special numerology meaning to the numbers
