Watch the WKRP lost pilot episode, a rare look at the very beginning of the show with Dennis and Rob. From deep in the archieves we present the "The Lost Pilot", which in this case could be a double entendre. Our good friend, local celebrity, pilot and philanthropist Gary "GT" Bustin agreed to be our very first guest on WKRP Montrose. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. In this episode we started to discover what the show could look and feel like and what types of personalities we should seek out for the show. Gary did not dissapoint. Sharing stories from his arrival to Montrose, to the most "puckering moment" he experienced as a pilot to his work with PNG Tribe in Papa New Guinea. There was a lot of laughter and some great moments. Check out the very first episode of WKRP Montrose.
[00:00:00] Hey everybody, this is Dennis from WKRP. Rob and I are out of the studio this week, but we've got something special for you. We actually found the first pilot episode of WKRP, a lost pilot episode, and we thought we'd share it with you this week. So going all the way back to the very beginning with our good friend Gary Bustin, you guys are going to enjoy this. We'll see you soon.
[00:00:33] Welcome to WKRP Montrose, a radio station masquerading as a podcast about Montrose, Colorado and the Western Slope.
[00:00:42] All right, everybody, welcome to WKRP in Montrose. It's a beautiful, I guess, afternoon now. I never thought I'd be on a radio show that started in the afternoon or in the morning, but it's supposed to be morning. We didn't get officially started until whatever time it is now. It's 1230.
[00:01:15] But the idea is we're going to sit down. We're going to talk with you a little bit every week and bring some stories that you may or may not know from some people that you may or may not know here in Montrose. Joining me today is Rob. He requests to remain anonymous, even though you can see him right there on the camera. I mean, no, no, no, no. Let's not misrepresent what I said. Okay. Okay. Well, I don't necessarily want to be anonymous. I just don't want to be plastered all over the Internet.
[00:01:44] And then to make me the least attractive of the threesome here, it's Gary Bustin, GT, man. Thanks for joining us. How you been, man? Hey, it's great to be with you guys. It's been a crazy road and I just wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world than right here right now. Really? Oh, yeah. I call bullshit because you're only here every so often because of your work. I said right now. Tomorrow when he's somewhere else. Tomorrow I want to be somewhere else. I don't want to be here. But right now I'm stoked to be with you guys. Right on.
[00:02:15] So this morning, one of the first things that I saw going on here in Montrose is we have this tiny bar in town called Town Hall. And they're doing karaoke night coming up here fairly soon. So I got a question. As a man who shows up on his Harley in his boots, what's your go-to karaoke song? I'm a very talented person. I'm very talented. But modest too.
[00:02:45] But and very humble. Very humiliating. Very humble. But I am also a terrible singer. Really? Terrible singer. And people ask me all the time, like, you do all of these things. What can you not do? And my answer is sing. I can't sing. But I can do Willie Nelson. Pretty damn well. Oh, my. A couple drinks. And you wouldn't know that it's not Willie Nelson. You just got to close your eyes. And you're at a Willie concert. It's mostly nasal.
[00:03:13] It's just kind of mostly, you know, nasal, which fits my singing anyway. So it works out. It's going to sound like you're on death's door. Exactly right. And Dennis, I presume you cannot sing. I have the voice of an angel. What are you talking about? No. An angel that maybe has smoked cigars the whole time. I mean, you've got a great broadcasting voice. I got a face for radio. Thank you very much. That's why we added video. Yeah. That's what I can show. Yeah, we're going to try and turn off as many people as quickly as we can. I think we just did. Yeah.
[00:03:43] Well, so here's the question. Montrose, right? You're a world traveler. Yep. We're joking. You said this is where you want to be right now. Yes. Where do you rank Montrose in your favorite places that you've ever been? I guess if you live here, it's going to be in the top. But Montrose actually in the summer can't be beat. You just can't. Amen.
[00:04:12] You cannot beat Montrose in the summer because it can be warm down here. You want to be cool. You just go up in the mountains and also all the activities that you can do. I mean, I race motorcycles, kayak, raft, you know, just hike all the outdoor stuff. Mountain bike. It's perfect. It's like dreamland for that. Winter, I snowboard, but I'm tropical, so I don't like to be cold. So I'm not here most of the winter. Yeah. I prefer spring, summer, and fall to winter.
[00:04:41] Yeah. But I guess the thing for all three of us and a lot of people in Montrose is we are choosing to be here. And I think that speaks for itself. And, you know, if people, people haven't been here, you know, they know about the Black Canyon and stuff like that, but you've got to come here to, to really appreciate all the awesome stuff we have. Well, that used to be the, that used to be the joke, right? It's like everybody, everybody comes here for the winters and then they stay for the summers. Yeah.
[00:05:08] Like you come here to go skiing because we're in the middle of like three or four like world class ski areas. But then if you get a chance to come for a summer festival, like the summer concert series that's coming up, you end up like, it's kind of hard to leave after that. Yeah. Well, and it's a great town. I mean, I raised my kids here and I've, I've been here about 24 years now. Wow. And I just, I love the community.
[00:05:38] I love the town. I love, I mean, in the summer, I just looking at all the toys and trying to figure out which one I want to go outside and play with, you know, that's the big challenge. It's like, am I going to ride my mountain bike today? Or am I going to blow the raft up and go do the river today? Or am I going to jump on the motorcycle and go ride the adobes? Or am I going to jump in the plane and fly to gateway or, you know what? It's just, it's too many options. And we have. Everybody just officially wanted to become Gary.
[00:06:07] Just now, just from that moment. They're like, yeah. Go ahead, Rob. I mean, river surfing, you know, hiking in the Dominguez and Escalante and all that. So we have just everything you could ever want as an outdoor enthusiast. Yeah. Here. Yeah. And I guess this is the funny thing. This, what we're talking about, it is going to piss some people off because you always have those people who are like, it's our little secret place. Don't tell anybody. Yeah. But you know what? If the word didn't get out, we wouldn't be here. So I'm not a gatekeeper.
[00:06:37] I kind of, I don't like that attitude. We need people to come in to diversify the town, to bring things with them, bring skills and ideas and all that stuff. So yeah, it's going to piss a couple of people off, but I don't care. I always say you can't stop change, but you can influence it. Right. And so, you know, we can shape things, but you're not going to just say, oh, nobody else, you know, we found it and we're the lucky ones and no one else can come.
[00:07:04] That's ridiculous because at some point we came here and people were here before us and people were before them. Yeah, exactly. And yeah, I think if I remember correctly, the, you know, that Colorado bumper sticker, you know, the one that's on everybody's car. The guy that designed that, I don't, he wasn't from Colorado. Are you talking about Colorado, the native? Yeah. The Colorado native bumper sticker? I don't know if it's true or not. I don't think he was from Colorado. I always, I always feel like that's a joke.
[00:07:33] I tell people like I've lived here for 24 years now. Yeah. And people are like, oh, you're a native. And I'm like, no, but like I have been here a while. So like, I know the routine, but I do feel like that's a, is that like a joke? Like, I don't know. I don't think it's a joke. I think a lot of people take that seriously. Yeah. But I don't know. I mean, it's kind of, that's stupid anyway. I mean, it's just a way to differentiate, to say, hey, I'm this and you're not. Yeah.
[00:08:01] It's kind of backward looking. I mean, you know, like where you were born. So now you have a right to be there. You don't have a right to be there. I think it's ridiculous. I think, you know, just be a good person and, and, and contribute to the community. And then you have every right to be there. Yeah, exactly. Absolutely. Don't be, don't be a, don't be a sideline coach. That's just yelling from the sidelines. Like this should be this way. This should be that way.
[00:08:29] I kind of, I, I just jumped on you yesterday about this, Rob. Oh yeah. Like if you've got something to say. I don't pay much attention to what you're saying. You prefer not to listen. Selective hearing is what it is. But my biggest pet peeve for people that are moving here, we've got a lot of great people moving into the area. But my biggest pet peeve is when they're, they dislike something or they're, you know, they have something to add, you know, that the community needs or their opinion that the community needs.
[00:08:59] And then I'm like, great, what are you going to do about it? Right. And, and, and then there's this glaze that comes over everybody's face. Like, well, I don't want to do anything about it. Like you should do something about it or somebody else should make this happen or whatever. And that always just frustrates me. It's like, like you said, I think, I don't know if I can't remember if this was on air before we were talking, but you know, the idea that you come to someplace and then expect
[00:09:25] it to be different than when it was, when you got there. Oh, we were talking about like people moving above a bar and then complaining about the sound that's in the bar. It's like, come on. You knew the bar was there. It's like one of my professors in college, I was already a pilot and, and he, you know, he pulls me aside and he's like, I got a problem. I think maybe you can help me. And I said, well, what's the problem? He said, I bought, I bought a house next to the airport and I'm trying to figure out how
[00:09:54] to get them to stop making airplane noise. And this, this was a professor. It was a professor and he was dead serious. He's like, what can I do to get, get them to quit flying over my house? And I said, my suggestions to you are one, learn to like airplane noise or to sell your house. You're the one who bought a house by the airport. Yeah. That's dare I say maybe the dumbest comment I've heard in a while from an educated person
[00:10:22] because you know, and that's, I guess that's the thing about places like Montrose is, you know, we don't have a lot of things here, right? If you come from a city, we're missing things. We're missing, you know, certain kinds of restaurants and people, people miss. And it's okay to say, Hey, I hope that one day we get this thing. Yeah. But bitching and complaining about a place that you chose to move to is not, well, it's not very smart, but it's not the answer.
[00:10:47] Like Dennis said, you really want sushi or you really want this or that open a place. Yeah. Or just accept that Montrose, what it has and accept, accept what we have here and you know, go to Denver, go to places for weekends and enjoy the things that are there. But yeah, complaining and not doing anything about it is just going to make you miserable. Yeah. As a pilot, I'm going to change tones here for just a second. As a pilot, what's been your biggest butt pucker moment?
[00:11:17] As a pilot. Well, I've had a few because I've been flying for almost 30 years now. But I mean, flying overall, it's just very safe. I mean, you look at when you're in an airplane, you're, you're in an environment that's very controlled and there's a lot of rules. But when you're driving down, say a two lane road and you're going 65 miles an hour, you're what? Eight feet apart from somebody. You have no idea who they are, if they're texting or drunk or whatever it is.
[00:11:45] And you've got a combined speed of 130 miles an hour if they're going 65 miles an hour as well. And you know, you're, you're eight, eight feet from death and, and, and accidents in cars happen all the time and they don't even really show up in the news because it's just a given. But when a plane crashes, oh my God, a plane crashed, you know, and everyone knows about it across the whole country because it's been publicized. And so I think because of that, people have this false fear of flying.
[00:12:14] And also it's just doesn't seem natural, even though it's a scientific principle that, you know, the Bernoulli principle that makes it work. But have you come close to death in a plane? A few times. Yeah. One time, one of the closest times was in, I was flying through Orlando airspace and air traffic control messed up. And there was a King air that came right across my windscreen and I could see like, I could see the divots in the bottom of the plane.
[00:12:44] I mean, we must've missed each other by maybe 30 feet. Wow. And it's at that speed. I mean, you don't, you don't see it coming or whatever. It's just all of a sudden your windscreen is full of King air and, and then it's gone. And then you're just like, you know, get on the, get, get on the mic and be like, okay, somebody's head's going to roll because this is your job to keep me separate. Yeah. And then you go and change your underwear. Yeah. Exactly. Okay.
[00:13:11] So like Travis Patron has got one of my favorite quotes. He's like, I did this trick and he's like, I don't know what happened, but somebody took a huge crap in my pants. He'd gotten not, he'd gotten knocked out and he said, I don't know what happened, but somebody took a huge shit in my pants. That's so funny. Okay. All right.
[00:13:36] So either D miss D myth that I'm asking, I'm going to say it wrong. Don't edit that. Yeah. I'll leave it there. So mystify demystify, not demystify. I was going to say, uh, there's a myth, but it's not a myth. There's no, there's no, uh, flight tower in the Montrose airport. There's no air traffic control. Thank you. I was struggling for the words. Okay. So how does that work? Well, from the time you get your pilot's license,
[00:14:05] most of the places where you learn to fly don't have towers and it's self-reporting and it's a system that works really well. Sometimes people think, Oh, that's not safe. But actually the, a control tower only controls the area that's right around the airport. And then you get handed off, you get hand off to center. So like, for example, right after you take off from Montrose, you're, you're on with center in Denver and Denver.
[00:14:30] And then they hand you off through their sex sectors, wherever you, you know, you're flying. So Montrose is really just a small area that a tower would control. And we don't have that many flights. And so you have self-reporting. So when you're say 20 miles out, you'll call in and say, I'm at this altitude and I'm descending and I'm planning to come to Montrose from this direction. And I'm going to be entering a left base on runway three, one, let's just say.
[00:15:00] And so everyone that's listening goes, okay, that guy's there and he's coming. So then maybe somebody just took off a runway one seven and they'll be like, I'm taking off a one seven and I'm going to be hanging a left base and going, um, out, you know, out to the East or whatever. And then, um, and then, well, I guess that would be West, but then, um, those two people will talk to each other. So the guy that just took off from one seven, I'll be like, okay, where are you at now?
[00:15:26] And the guy coming in from three to three, one will say, oh, I'm, you know, now I'm two miles at, at, at, uh, 10,000 feet or whatever it is. So, yeah, I mean, it sounds like, I mean, really when you think about if you have four cars approaching a four way stop sign, you know, you have to just be aware of what's going on. You don't need it. You don't need somebody there with a bullhorn telling you what to do and where to go. Right. It's just kind of a bigger, well, seemingly scarier version when it's. Yeah. But it's, it's essentially just common sense, right? Yeah.
[00:15:56] Eventually Montrose will have a tower just because you'll have so much traffic and then it's too many people talking at once. Like for example, sometimes when I descend into Centennial in Denver, it's difficult just to get, to be able to get your voice in to speak to the tower because they're barking commands as fast as they can go. You know? And so at that point it would be unsafe for people to be self-reporting because sometimes people draw it out a little too long or, you know, things are happening too quickly.
[00:16:26] Then you need a tower, but Montrose isn't to that place yet. So it's not unsafe. Okay. Yeah. So help, help me if we, you know, when this goes out to the rest of the public, help everybody else calm the fuck down for a minute. I've never been able to do that, but okay. So we sit on the plane and we end up on the tarmac. But as I understand that a lot of times that's because we're waiting for, to get in line for wherever we're going. Not necessarily like that.
[00:16:54] The airport in Montrose is holding us there at that gate and people get really, I don't know why, but people get really freaking antsy once they get out on the tarmac and the plane's not moving. Really? Like you can, there's a powerful stress in the plane and then people eventually start talking and saying stuff and particularly usually from the front of the plane. I won't call those people out, but I just did the front of the plane.
[00:17:21] Like, you know, they have an agenda and a timeframe that doesn't match everybody else's I guess. But is that, am I saying that right? Is that, are you stuck out there oftentimes because you're waiting in line for the destination that you're going to? Like, yeah. Montrose, I mean, there's no hold you. It's one of the quickest places to get in the air is because there's not that much traffic. The taxis aren't that long till you get, especially if you take off a runway one seven. I mean, you're just a couple of minutes and then you're, you're ready to go.
[00:17:49] But let's just say you're flying into Denver. Then this, the center in Denver is going to give you a time slot when you arrive and they're going to hold you based on that time slot on when you can arrive. Because let's just say they had a snow storm or they have particularly busy traffic or whatever it is, then their time slots get tight and they know if you take off at this particular time, you're going to be arriving at that particular time based on the speeds that they've given you.
[00:18:16] And so you're, you're going to arrive in your time slot when they hold you and say, okay, now we'll have you wait for 15 minutes. And then that means you'll arrive at your time slot at the right time. Otherwise you're going to be circling around Denver somewhere and people are going to be like, oh my God, we're not landing. We should be landing. Something's wrong with the plane or whatever. It's just a function of you can't land all the planes at the same time. So I made this an aviation podcast really quickly. You definitely did.
[00:18:45] I'm going to have to clip that out for social media. And we all like planes. I like being on planes. Well, but it's about Montrose. It is about Montrose. Well, I mean, maybe I'll take this opportunity quickly though, to say that we're very fortunate here because Montrose is sort of semi-rural, but the Montrose regional airport is spectacularly well connected. And it's largely because of Crested Butte and Telluride ski resorts. But in the winter and in the summer, we have flights available in and out of Montrose to all over the country.
[00:19:13] I mean, we're really lucky and it's very easy to get out of here. And within two flights, you can go Montrose, Denver, Denver, Tokyo, if you want to. Yeah. I think my understanding is Montrose has the second most flights of any airport in Colorado, even more than Colorado Springs. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. I can see how that makes sense in winter, especially. Even more than Grand Junction. Yeah. Don't we have the longest runway not in Denver? I think Colorado Springs.
[00:19:42] I don't know. It'd be close with Colorado Springs. Yeah. Because Colorado Springs has some long ones. But yeah, we definitely have a long runway here. Okay. Somebody comes to Montrose visiting for the first time. We've talked about all the crazy things that you can do during the day, right? Yeah. And that's a little bit like obvious that people discover Montrose. Rob, GT, what do you do after 7 p.m.? Get a beer.
[00:20:12] I like Phelanese. Oh, yeah? The speakeasy. That's a cool place. I like hanging out there. And it's just got a really cool vibe. And actually, I went to some speakeasies in Denver. And there are some cool ones over there. But this one is a lot better than some of the ones I went to. I mean, there's one that's like you go to this ice cream shop in Denver. And then there's a freezer door. Oh, yeah?
[00:20:39] And then it just looks like a freezer door on the wall of this little ice cream shop. And you open it up. And then you go in. And then it's a whole speakeasy. Oh, that's cool. It's cool. But actually, the speakeasy is no different than almost like a Chili's bar or something. It's not that cool. The coolest thing about it is the freezer door. Yeah. But the one here, like it's, you know. Yeah, the decor is pretty cool. And I like the... You've got like section... The one thing I really like about the speakeasy, you've got the bar. Yeah.
[00:21:06] And then you do have kind of like sections of seating that feel like it's kind of your living room or your place away from home. Yeah. I think that's part of one of the cool things. You can take a few people and kind of huddle in a corner and be somewhat, you know. And it's 1920s decor, you know. So you have to say your little phrase at the door and stuff. I think it's fun. I like it. They close too early. You know, I think if they're... You know, I would appreciate if they stayed open a little longer. Yeah. But I guess that's one thing you could do. Yeah.
[00:21:35] I mean, I go, I mean, on a semi-frequent basis to Pomona. That's somebody trying not to sound like an alcoholic on the radio. That is exactly what that is. I don't have that problem, Rob. I go as often as I damn well please. Yeah. You're the one who's married. You don't do shit without approval. But Pomona Brewing is... That's very true. It's like... It's the newest brewery in town. It's been open. Pomona. Just over a year. And it's great. Yeah. It's great.
[00:22:04] I go there frequently, especially now in the summer. They have an outdoor patio. People take their dogs. It's kind of... It's kind of more of what you would probably expect from the front range in terms of a brewery. And they do... It's great beer and, you know, I really like it there. It's got good vibes. I like to ride a motorcycle there in the summer. Yeah. In the afternoon and evening and hang out. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm going to go... Since you guys took Pomona and Felonies, I'll just stay on the drinking train and say that Storm King. Storm King. It's got to be...
[00:22:31] So is the sushi guy still there at Storm King? He's there in the summer. Yeah. Okay. Seasonal, right? Yeah. And he... I think he's... My understanding is he's in Aspen during the winter. I mean, he's quite an accomplished chef. Yeah. He's very... The sushi's great. Yeah. Yeah. And he parks... He's like Novu quality. Yeah. And yeah, he parks at Storm King Distilling, which is... Well, for now, it's the only distillery in town, but their little cocktail bar is great and they produce great stuff.
[00:23:02] So I know you didn't want to focus on this, but we at least got to mention it before we let you go. So how in the hell... In the hell... Did you... And Samaritan Air becomes... Or doesn't become, but leads to PNG Tribe. And for those that don't know, the Papua New Guinea Tribal Foundation, which is your organization
[00:23:28] that you do some amazing work with in a developing country. But first and foremost, I'm going to ask this question because I know people aren't going to know where in the hell is Papua New Guinea. Yeah. So it's down by Australia. It's off the coast of Australia, about a three-hour flight from Brisbane. Oftentimes, people think it's in Africa because there's a couple of Guineas in Africa. But New Guinea is one of the most exotic countries in the world.
[00:23:58] 850 languages. So it's got a fifth of the world's languages on an island that's got about 12 million people. Wow. And you speak one of those languages. Yeah. I speak a couple. Well, I was born and raised there in the jungle. Really? Yeah. Just when I thought you couldn't get more interesting. And you have a nickname, right? Because you have a... What's your nickname? Well, it's not a nickname. It's my village name. So I went through initiation. Okay. And it's Yombromari, which means white crocodile.
[00:24:27] And it's not because my skin is white. It's characteristic. So there's two crocodiles in this area. There's Kavak, which is a smaller black crocodile. And then there's Yombromari, which is a larger, lighter skinned crocodile. And it's kind of like a yin and yang type of situation with Kavak and Yombromari. And so the village leaders from the Samanyak clan, which is my clan, called me in and said,
[00:24:54] we want to do initiation and give you this name, which is the most powerful of all the names in that region, which is Yombromari. So it's a massive honor. So yeah, a lot of people in New Guinea call me Yombromari. You don't want to mess with this man is basically what he's, it's a humble way of saying it. But if he does manage, you do piss him off and he manages to, I don't know, fuck you up somehow. He'll fly you to hospital too. That's very true. Tell us. It depends. Have you ever? Yeah, exactly.
[00:25:24] I'm not committed to that. Tell us, just tell us a little bit about the foundation though and what you do and that kind of thing. Well, I started, so I think to your first question, Dennis, and then I'll get to that, how I ended up in Montrose. My uncle had a ranch here and I grew up in New Guinea, but then went to high school in Florida. And I used to come out and see my cousins and got familiar with the area and just fell in love with it, you know?
[00:25:50] And so after college started the first medical aviation program, which was my, which was my, I mean, my first venture. And it was Samaritan Aviation and I based it here and we did all kinds of mercy flights for people from Montrose, especially. And then launched a float plane operation in New Guinea, which has saved, you know, thousands of lives.
[00:26:15] And then I started the tribal foundation in 2009, was president of both until 2012 and then left Samaritan and focused on the tribal foundations. It operates nationally in the country in New Guinea. We do three things. First of all, we do leadership development, which is very important in any country, but especially a developing country. And then we do women's empowerment, gender-based violence. So in New Guinea, there's about 70% of women experience gender-based violence.
[00:26:44] And also they have what's called sorcery accusation related violence, which is like think Salem witch trials. Wow. And there's five to 700 cases of that a year. So oftentimes two a day. Wow. And our organization's the leading organization working to end that. So we've actually written laws that are now passed by parliament and are part of the criminal code. And we're prosecuting people based on the laws that we wrote because we found a gap in the laws.
[00:27:13] And so we're having a huge impact in that area, but it's a big fight. And then the last thing we do is special medical projects. So we're partnered with Children's Hospital Colorado, which is an amazing partner of ours and an awesome, awesome hospital. And Project Cure in Denver, we've done about $25 million in medical supplies together. And we have our medical directors are from Telluride. Wow.
[00:27:39] So a man and woman that are both doctors, Mark Oswald and Nancy Kerr. And they're skiers, but they're in New Guinea all the time working with us. And you brought those two worlds together a few years back because you brought the first lady of Papua New Guinea here to visit the Children's Hospital in Denver, right? Yeah. Well, actually, it's funny. Project Cure, which is a medical supplier, they have a first lady's luncheon every year. That's what it was.
[00:28:07] And they had a first lady from a country, I won't say. And I went to it because we've done a lot of containers with them. And so I went to this 1,200 business people at downtown Denver at this luncheon. And she was just yammering on, you know, not very exciting, not very impressive. And the first lady of New Guinea is a very close friend of mine.
[00:28:32] And I was thinking she could completely have all these people on the edge of their seats and in tiers. So I suggested that they invite her. And so they're like, yeah, do it. So I invited her and then I got Exxon, which is one of my partners, to sponsor it. And we raised $4 million worth of medical supplies that then we delivered to Papua New Guinea. And so she, but she came here.
[00:29:00] I brought her to Telluride and had a friend who's got a house up on Eagle's Rest. I think what's one of the big ski in, ski outs up above Mountain Village. I'm the worst. I lived up there for 18 years and I don't, I know Sundance is about one of the only runs that I know. So, yeah, but this is along Woosley's, not Woosley's way, Teddy's way, you know, in that area.
[00:29:27] And anyway, so she stayed up there and then spoke to kids at Telluride. And then we had a thing here in Montrose and then flew across to Denver and she spoke there. And just, it was, it was a huge accomplishment because it was the first time the first lady of Papua New Guinea, any first lady of Papua New Guinea had ever done a public speech internationally, you know, especially to that scale. And so she's a pretty, she's, I mean, I happen to be there.
[00:29:57] She's a really dynamic lady and she's very well-spoken and just it's one, she's one of those people that makes an impression on you the first time you meet her for sure. Exactly. Yeah. That was a cool experience. And she loved Colorado. Did she? Yeah, loved it. Yeah. Rob? Yeah. Do you have anything to take us out here? No, you're the, you're the outro guy. Okay. So of the many languages that you speak, one of the most unique that I heard was Pidgin that I got to hear.
[00:30:27] Am I saying that right? Yeah. Okay. So what would, what would be a phrase that you could say in Pidgin to take us out? Yeah. So I'm going to stop on the people. Nah, me like talk, I'm saying Montrose and when a good, you mean stop. And that means I'm really happy to be with you guys here today. And Montrose is a great place to live. It is. It is. All right. That's WKRP in Montrose. We'll see you again next week. Thanks for joining us. GT. You're the man. Thanks for having me, Rob.
[00:30:57] You're okay too. Yeah, I know. Colorable. I'm grateful.
