SPEAKER 03 : 0:30

Welcome to The Good News with Angie Austin. Now, with The Good News, here’s Angie.

SPEAKER 05 : 0:39

Hey there, friend. It is Angie Austin and Jim Stovall with the good news. Hey, Jim.

SPEAKER 04 : 0:43

Hey, it is always good to be with you.

SPEAKER 05 : 0:46

Always good. Well, we’re talking about your winner’s wisdom column, the one opinion that matters. And I just wanted to tell you that I’m not going to be quite in your neck of the woods, but I have four trips this month for college visits and tournaments. We have two tournaments in Florida, which could they have picked a better month than July, you know, to be in Florida, right?

SPEAKER 04 : 1:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER 05 : 1:09

We have to go to Kansas for colleges and Portland, Oregon for ThriftCon. Oh, Cincinnati for a basketball tournament. So I just looked at all the dates and I realized my husband had slightly overlapped them. And normally I do all of the travel. That’s my job under my marriage job description. But I wrote to him and I said, you overlap. And he’s like, oh, well, one of us, you’ll just have to go to Cincinnati for the basketball tournament. alone i said no we’re going to rearrange things like we have to share the pain i mean the delight yeah it was in your wedding vows to have them to hold and share the travel vein yes travel yes to share the travel to tournaments in cincinnati not actually in cincinnati but like in a small town outside of cincinnati you know what these small towns have done now jim uh this is new since you were an athlete and you probably know about it but So they’ll take a small town and they’ll put in a whole bunch of these giant venues for basketball. So you can change it over to basketball and volleyball and probably even lay down a floor for hockey. I don’t know. But they then can bring in all kinds of people. They sell out all the hotels in town and the neighboring cities. And then these little towns make all this money off of these tournaments. And it’s just like a. metal building, you know, like you would build on a farm for like chickens or cows, you know, and then they insulate it. It’s cheap construction, relatively speaking. And then it’s an economy for these little towns.

SPEAKER 04 : 2:36

Oh, I think it’s amazing. I’ve always fascinated that up in the Dakotas, in the middle of winter, there are all these high profile basketball tournaments, college and high school basketball tournaments. and you wonder why they go there in the middle of the winter to the Dakotas. Well, they built these amazing facilities, and everybody can play there, and it just, you know, the communities attracted people, and… And the big thing is in the middle of the winter in the Dakotas, you can get a crowd for a basketball game because what else are you going to do? So it’s really pretty amazing.

SPEAKER 05 : 3:10

Yeah, I think it’s genius. And the other thing they do is they force you to stay at their hotels, right? Like I can’t rent a house or I’m not supposed to stay with a friend per se. You’re supposed to because you’re using taxpayer money. then they want you to stay at a hotel, and then the taxes get returned, and blah, blah, blah. So it’s like a machine that they put you through to generate income for the town. But I do think it’s pretty sharp.

SPEAKER 04 : 3:35

Yeah, just so you know, they invariably passed a bond issue with a hotel-motel tax that paid for that building that you’re playing in. So as you’re sleeping in their motel, just remember, You paid for the venue, too. So it’s just a great thing.

SPEAKER 05 : 3:52

Okay, I figured it linked in like that. Okay, cool. That’s good to know. All right, well, let’s talk about the one opinion that matters your column this week.

SPEAKER 04 : 4:01

Well, one of the saddest things I see, Angie, is people who get all their self-esteem from other people. And they worry about what everybody thinks of them. Instead of the one opinion that matters, and it’s what you really think about yourself. Until you can be still, be quiet, be alone, and be happy, you’re really never going to have a wonderful life. Because, you know, your opinion of yourself, if it’s swayed by everyone else or social media, you’re never getting anywhere. You know, and we were all born like Miss America. We had one of those banners across us. instead of saying, Miss Colorado, it says, you know, your name, and then it’s a clean banner. And then, you know, when we were young, the banner, you know, would say things like, I’m lovable, I’m capable, I’m able to do anything I want to do. And when we’re little kids, we believe that. Then we start letting other people write on our banner. And they say, you’re stupid, you don’t know what you’re doing, remember all the times you screwed up. And if you start believing them, these people become really, really valuable. And, you know, I Always think of the arena events where I go to make speeches. And, you know, if you have 14,000 salespeople or executives there, if I said, who wants to come up here on this stage and sing a song or draw a picture or do a dance, you would get very few, if any, people. But if I had an arena full of 14,000 third graders, everybody wants to come up there.

SPEAKER 05 : 5:29

Oh, you’re so right.

SPEAKER 04 : 5:31

You know, they haven’t had that scared out of them yet. And, you know, really the only opinion that matters is the one that we have of ourselves. And I remember reading a study, a profile about Warren Buffett, and this reporter stayed with him for 30 days to mirror what he did. And he picked her up in his car at the airport. And he has a three-year-old Lincoln. And she said, why does Warren Buffett, why do you, one of the wealthiest men in the world, drive a three-year-old car? He said, because I’m not willing to invest any time or money impressing you with my automobile. Hilarious. But very few people ever get to that point. We care about what people think. And, you know, we give them far too much power, and we give away all our strength when we worry about what everybody else thinks, and we forget what we think of ourselves.

SPEAKER 05 : 6:26

I love that. You know, I’ve heard things about him and I remember Sam Walton with the old truck. I joke that my husband’s, his isn’t Ford, it’s Chevy, but it’s a 2000. So it’s 24 years old and he’s one of the founders of the company and one of the other founders. I can’t remember if he drives a Beamer or a Porsche Cayenne. And then the other one is a car collector. So he’s always bringing fancy cars. And there’s my husband pulling up in his 24-year-old Chevy truck, and he just loves it. Like today he could have taken my Tesla, the only new car in the family of the four that we have with all the teenagers. We’ve got all these 20-year-old cars. Anyway, he could have taken my Tesla, but no, he didn’t even ask me. He took his 24-year-old Chevy to work, you know, and mine’s just sitting there today. So it just cracks me up because it’s just, I think too, Jim, does it come with success or with age? Like I cared more about what people thought of me when I was maybe in my 20s. And, you know, I grew up really poor, so it was embarrassing where I lived. I’d have people drop me off sometimes at a different like apartment complex because we lived in low-income housing. And I was so embarrassed because it all looked the same and everybody knew what it was and They were all cookie-cutter, low-income housing projects or whatever they were. So I’d have them drop me off down the street, and then I’d just kind of in the dark run to a different door and just wait until they pulled out of the parking lot and then walk to my house or my apartment. But I cared then, because maybe it was out of my control. It wasn’t my fault, per se. I wasn’t earning money yet, but I was embarrassed. So when does that go away? I think part of it was my faith, when I became confident in my faith, that I was complete through my faith, that… I didn’t care as much and then getting older and then reaching some level of success because I did buy the oceanfront penthouse in Marina del Rey in California when I worked at NBC in LA and the convertible 911 Porsche. But then like now I couldn’t care less really.

SPEAKER 04 : 8:15

Yeah, I mean, there’s nothing wrong with the Porsche or the house on the beach if that’s what you want. But if you’re doing it to impress other people, you know, too often we’re spending money we don’t have. to buy stuff we don’t want to impress people that don’t care. You know, and, and even, even if they’re impressed with your stuff, wait 10 minutes, there’ll be somebody along with something more impressive than that. You know, and that’s the different, uh, I’m writing a piece today that you and I will talk about probably in the fall. And the difference between character and charisma, character never goes away. Charisma is just the outer shell of whatever we are. And it, it comes and goes. And, uh, And character never goes away. So, you know, I think when we can get up in the morning and look ourselves in the mirror and be pleased with what is there, and when that becomes enough, I think we’ve really achieved wisdom and success.

SPEAKER 05 : 9:16

I love that. So for you, did you ever care? I mean, you had a pretty solid, nice family, and I’m sure you probably had the things you needed for school and things like that and could pay for your books and braces and things. So did you ever still feel as a teenager that these things were important for your identity or your self-esteem?

SPEAKER 04 : 9:40

You know, my parents made a good income. And we lived in a nice area of town. Unfortunately for me, we lived on the edge of the nice area of town and we were the poorest people in the rich area. So, you know, I’m driving the used car and the used this and all my friends have a, you know, brand new cars and they’re, they’re taking the, the spring break trip to all these exotic places and I’m working, you know, and I’m working, you know, and, uh, And, you know, and it’s funny, Crystal and I are now members at a very, very elite country club in our town.

SPEAKER 05 : 10:16

And she plays tennis, right? So that’s a big deal for her tennis, you know.

SPEAKER 04 : 10:20

And it’s where they have the U.S. Open Golf Tournament. The PGA Championship was there two years ago. And, you know, when I grew up, all my friends were a member of that club. I never could go there. Well, now they’re all broke and Crystal and I are members of the club. And, you know, and it just… You know, things that come to you that easily really don’t matter to you. I mean, everything in life is identified in our mind in proportion to what did we have to give up to get it. You know, I mean, when I first started out as a kid, I used to, you know, mow a lawn for three bucks. I mean, three dollars to me was a lawn, and that is hard work. And, you know, so I came to appreciate that. And if somebody gives you the keys to a brand new car for no reason other than you turn 16, You know, you can’t tell. Zig Ziglar used to say, I can go through any high school or college parking lot and tell who paid for their car based on the way they wash it and maintain it. You know, the people that paid for that car themselves, you’re going to see a clean, well-maintained car. The people whose parents gave them the car, you’re going to see a dirty, unmaintained vehicle sitting right there.

SPEAKER 05 : 11:30

Isn’t that funny? I never even, but that is, that’s a really good point. Yeah, I was just thinking about how my husband washed it yesterday because we let our son take the car. And, you know, he knows we track him, right, with a tracker. And so we can see each trip, you know, how many hard stops, how many fast takeoffs, how many times he used his phone, everything. Well, he went, I think, what was it my husband said, 93 or was it 94 times? And then one of the other kids, they narc on each other. Is that what they still call it? They tattle on each other. And so one of them told the other, because, you know, and then they have friends of friends that go, oh, look at this picture that so-and-so posted of your brother doing such and such. Look at this video of her. Or your brother told me he was racing someone in your mom’s car. You know, and then they tell, of course, my daughter. And then my daughter tells my husband. And then my husband tells me. And then we look that day on the video camera because there’s cameras all around the car. And all the video is erased.

SPEAKER 04 : 12:30

Yeah. Well, I used to have an old lawyer when I first started out. In fact, he’s the basis for the lawyer in three of my movies, the Ultimate Gift Trilogy. But anyway, he said, as you go through your life in business or your personal life, just assume the truth is going to ultimately be known. Sooner or later, everybody’s going to know what you did. And if you keep that in mind when you start out, you’re just going to have a carefree, wonderful life. But if you assume you’re going to do something that people aren’t going to know about, you’re going to have a disaster.

SPEAKER 05 : 13:03

It’s funny because I said to one of them yesterday, why do they even try to hide things from us? Because we find everything out. I mean, I’d say within two weeks of something happening, that’s the beauty, I guess, for me of social media is that then when I share it with other moms, like my kid will see something on my friend’s kid’s page. My kid will show me something. I’ll say, send me a screenshot of that, and they’ll send me the screenshot. And then I go tell the mom, but the mom doesn’t know where it comes from. And then the mom says, oh, one of the swim team moms told me. mean that’s like 400 parents right so you know it’s like i said you could tell her one of the swim team moms because i like this kid right so i don’t really want the kid like you know icing me out or my kids out right so i mean that’s to me the beauty of social media is that you keep people on the up and up i mean i’ve seen things that my friends kids have done on social media that maybe i don’t know them well enough to let them know and i’m kind of mortified And we’ve repeatedly told our kids, like, if we ever see anything like this, and because we monitor them so closely, nothing really slides through the cracks that gets on their social media. But it’s a great way to find out, you know, what the kids are up to. Oh, Jim, we’re out of time. JimStoval.com and this week’s column, The One Opinion That Matters. Thank you, friend. That was fun. You’re welcome.

SPEAKER 05 : 15:25

Georgetown is tuned to the mighty 670 KLT. Hey there, Angie Austin here with the good news. I love it when Chef Jamie Quinn joins us. Why? Well, she’s very charming, but listen to this. I mean, I didn’t even know all this. She’s a former MasterChef judge, a Culinary Institute of America and Le Cordon Bleu graduate, a celebrity chef, a lifestyle expert, a nationally syndicated radio host, a certified sommelier, and a seven-time cookbook author, and I could go on and on, and a mom. Is that right, Jamie? Do I have all this right?

SPEAKER 06 : 15:58

You have it all. I’m most proud to be a mommy, and thank you for the lovely compliments.

SPEAKER 05 : 16:03

I just think you’re charming. So that’s why I love to talk to you and you have such great ideas. So we’re talking about 4th of July and we’re talking about really shining when it comes to our entertaining and adding that extra little touch. So do you want to start with that beyond the food itself in terms of like decor touches that can really elevate the party atmosphere? Because I have friends that can do it and I have friends that can definitely not. And I would probably veer a little more towards the not.

SPEAKER 06 : 16:30

OK, and I’d like to say I’m with you, Angie. I’m kind of right in between, but I have a new like secret arsenal now. OK, I love where you started because. I think we’ve all come to the point where there are phenomenal cooks out there and those that entertain in true style, and you kind of have to step up your game, right? Although you still want to enjoy the party. It’s supposed to be a laid-back summer celebration. But as much as I love a star-spangled mix of food and drink, and I’d like to say my parties always have those, I do love a festive patriotic table setting or anything festive depending upon the holiday. So now I have a new addiction. My new favorite tool to get cookout ready for the 4th of July and every holiday beyond, by the way, is the Cricut Joy Extra. Do you have friends with a Cricut, Angie?

SPEAKER 05 : 17:21

I know about this. I actually suggested it to one of my girlfriends. So explain to us how it works because I send it to her for her blankets that she makes.

SPEAKER 06 : 17:32

Yes. You can make anything. So I have now personalized all of my grilling utensils. I made craft custom seasoning jars with my signature dry rub for the summer. And everybody’s going on with a party favor. I customized my mason jars red, white, and blue. It was really easy. Cricut Joy Extra is a machine. It’s the ultimate tool. It’s not very big. It’s just very powerful. And it turns every party into a DIY masterpiece. So you can cut 50-plus materials like vinyl and cardstock and iron-on. You can foil. You can make professional-looking stickers and full-color labels and cards and tags and aprons and T-shirts and oh my… So now everything is patriotic, all American, red, white, and blue. And I am like wonderfully addicted to my crickets.

SPEAKER 05 : 18:27

You know, this is going to sound crazy to you, but I’m actually thinking about getting one to send to my daughter’s going to school outside of Nashville on a volleyball scholarship. So there’s a big volleyball team and they all live together in the dorms. And I first she does really good eyelashes and nails. Right. I was trying to set up with a business. Yes, because they decorate their tennis shoes. I don’t know if you’ve seen how these kids do that. there’s sneakers and stuff. And I thought, you know, I could send her to school with this and she could kind of create her own little dorm business to make a little side hustle to make money during college for her friends.

SPEAKER 06 : 19:01

Absolutely. Absolutely brilliant. And I’ll tell you, they’ll all get involved. The ideas and the inspiration that come, you know, from everybody’s, you know, adding their two cents to, oh, we should make this. That’s really smart. Of course, if you’re having a party, by the way, you need fabulous food, but the crickets, you know, definitely essential.

SPEAKER 05 : 19:21

Well, and one more thing I was going to say, they all decorate, like they all do like a team shirt or they do a team this. So they could each, usually they pay like a team mom, like five or 10 bucks to do whatever it is they’re going to do. So I figured, well, she can do that. Okay. So now we’re going to move on to food. So we’ve got the decorating covered and my, my, my daughter’s new college business. And then what’s next?

SPEAKER 06 : 19:41

Next is recipes that scream USA. Okay. So I make a patriotic sheet pan cheese board. Just imagine a flag with blueberries top left and you cut out stars of cheese or you have your kiddo do it like I did. And then stripes of red and white, everything delicious. I did raspberries. I did the round rice crackers. Then I did layers of cheese and mini marshmallows. If you have marshmallows, Marcona almonds. I mean, everything you can clean out your pantry and your fridge with because we have an excess of cheese in my house. And I’ve got this red, white, and blue beautiful cheese and charcuterie board. I use some salami folded in quarters, and they kind of fan out beautifully. But I’ll tell you, it’s a wonderful make-ahead. And I do it on a sheet pan and not a board because it maintains the chill. So store it in the fridge, and then when you put it out, I really do think it keeps colder longer, which is important during those warmer months.

SPEAKER 05 : 20:43

Now, a sheet pan, is it like a cookie sheet?

SPEAKER 06 : 20:45

Yes, exactly, a cookie sheet. And you could do, like, a half size, or depending upon what you have, you could put the crackers on the exterior and build the flag in the middle. But, yes, exactly, a cookie sheet with sides.

SPEAKER 05 : 20:57

Okay, cool. All right, you know, in terms of prep, I know there’s a lot of prep, and you just mentioned one good time-saving tip, you know, to get that board ready prior and have it chilled and, you know, pull it out. What else in terms of prep do you do to save a little time to do ahead of time?

SPEAKER 06 : 21:13

Sure. I choose recipes that are make-ahead, especially when I want to enjoy the party. And I’m a girl at the grill, but oftentimes instead of grilling live fire, I’ll do something slow smoked because it gives me more time with the family, right? But I do believe that most of the menus should be make-ahead. And I have a summery anti-pasto pasta salad recipe, Angie, that you have to make. I think it is the best summer pasta salad. I love a pasta salad. This is a great way to use up your pantry, too. I like to mix pasta shapes. It doesn’t have to all be the same noodle. Cook off your pasta, drain it, cool it down, and then mix in fresh mozzarella, garbanzo beans, and salami for protein. Add the sweet bell peppers, the cherry tomatoes. Make sure you have my favorite Pearl’s ripe black olives. We don’t want to forget the briny, lovely olive. And you know I love a Pearl’s olive. And then you could really clean out your produce bin with anything you have left. Add cucumber or chopped celery, et cetera. It’s a very simple Dijon vinaigrette that you shake in a jar. And by the way, Pearl’s black ripe olives now have nothing but sea salt and water added to the can. It’s very traditional for a black olive to be made blacker, like with dye. They are all natural, no artificial colors, no preservatives the way Mother Nature intended. And I think they taste better than ever. So please look for the can of Pearl’s olives. This is a recipe, Angie, that tastes better the next day. And you and I love those. I know because we’ve talked about it before. You want the flavors to meld. Make it a day or two in advance. It will only get better.

SPEAKER 05 : 22:53

You know, my mom’s in her mid 80s. She lives with us. Big Cheryl. Actually, she’s little Cheryl now. She lost like 100 pounds. So Cheryl. So Cheryl made the other day a pasta salad. So I go in the fridge, and I look in there, and I’m like, I love a good pasta salad. And all it had in it was edamame. And I’m like, Mom, that’s a little light on the ingredients. It’s just pasta and edamame. She goes, well, we didn’t have anything else. I’m like, okay, well, I’ll run to the store and get some other stuff. But I love that she at least found the edamame in the freezer, but it was just two ingredients and some bottled dressing. But my husband gobbled it down, so I’m sure he’d be more – being Italian, a little more impressed with that fresh mozzarella – A salami version.

SPEAKER 06 : 23:31

Yeah, and you can add anything you like. Maybe you have a wedge of Parmesan, grate it or chunk it in there, right?

SPEAKER 05 : 23:37

Nice.

SPEAKER 06 : 23:37

Maybe you have leftover, it could be snap peas or any veggie in your produce floor. This becomes kind of like a use it up. And I was raised, Angie, waste not, want not. So my mom made leftovers from nothing. and they were so delicious, and I think I find inspiration in that when it comes to pasta salad. Anything can go in it.

SPEAKER 05 : 24:00

Well, I want to make sure people can get that recipe, and then also tell us where to find you, like on social media, and if you have a new cookbook out, and I know you’ve got your syndicated radio show as well, again, for Chef Jamie Gwynn.

SPEAKER 06 : 24:11

I do. Thank you. It’s very kind, Angie. I appreciate very much the support. So first and foremost, if you want my summary antipasto pasta salad, if you want to see the patriotic sheet pan cheese board so you can copy it and call it your own. And because you need a cricket and to know everything about it, go to dailylounge.com. Everything is posted there, dailylounge.com. And then my website has thousands of free recipes at chefjamie.com. And on social, I post daily gluttony at chefjamiegwen. And the cookbook you referenced, thank you, is actually called Sizzle and Smoke. It’s a grilling cookbook, but it’s totally digital. You can download it. And that, too, is on my website at chefjamie.com. I love that.

SPEAKER 05 : 25:00

My neighbor does the digital grilling, and I actually get to throw in an extra roast. We just got pork shoulder or something yesterday, and we get two, and then she grills for me on that digital thing. And those things are amazing.

SPEAKER 06 : 25:13

Yeah, fabulous. I agree with you. This cookbook is electronically sent to you. It’s got lots of inspiration.

SPEAKER 05 : 25:19

Oh, I see.

SPEAKER 06 : 25:20

So you’ll find something you love in it. Yeah.

SPEAKER 05 : 25:22

I got it.

SPEAKER 06 : 25:23

Okay.

SPEAKER 05 : 25:24

That kind of digital. Got it. Okay. Thank you, Chef Jimmy Gwynn. Always a pleasure. I just love talking to you. You’re so fun.

SPEAKER 06 : 25:31

Angie, thank you. Thank you. Happy Fourth to you, and God bless the USA.

SPEAKER 05 : 25:35

You bet. You too. I’m talking to Jamie Gwynn because I feel like Jamie and I would be friends. You know what I mean? I have several people that I’ve become radio friends with. You probably recently heard me talking to Dr. Cheryl Lentz. We’ve become friends and we’re finally going to get to meet each other. I think this summer I wrote down the date of her big event coming up at the zoo. So I’m hoping to go to Chicago then. All right. Jamie lives in California and this has a link to California. So I’m going to tell you the other story first and then link it to California. This multimillion-dollar Badger Bridge is going to enable wildlife to be saved in Cornwall. So this is over in England, and they’re building these bridges or corridors for animals who are getting killed crossing major highways. Now, this one in Cornwall doesn’t look nearly as big as the one that they built in California. But it’s over a four-lane highway, and they’ve nicknamed it the Badger Bridge. And it won’t just say badgers, but lots of other animals. It’s designed to provide safe passage across the road for various wildlife species, including badgers, voles, and other small animals, insects, and birds. Now, insects, I would think. would just stay on their side of the highway, but apparently they also will be using the Badger Bridge. And it’s just a really cool project because obviously they know that by tracking animals, you know, and tagging them, that they’re losing some, you know, to this area of the highway. And in California, a very wealthy do-gooder, her name is Wallace Annenberg, She helped or funded the construction of the Wallace-Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. Now, she’s done a lot of good things with her money, but my sister-in-law was telling me that she was going to volunteer for the information aspect of this. So she would take people on little tours and and kind of fill them in on the history and the need for this Walden Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. It’s the world’s largest wildlife bridge, provides safe passage for animals crossing the busy 101 freeway. And if you’ve been in California, this is like, you know, 20 lanes, you know, like 10 each side kind of thing. I mean, maybe 16, but they’re huge. these freeways in California. So safe passage for the animals across the busy 101 freeway in Agoura Hills. Now, the project aims to reconnect fragmented habitats, reduce wildlife vehicle collisions, and help endangered species. Like in particular, the ones that they figured out through tagging that were being killed there were wild, pardon me, mountain lions. And so they had figured out they were losing some of these mountain lions, and they thought this bridge would be a good idea. But obviously it was more than mountain lions, lots of other animals as well. It’s a $92 million project, and some of it is funded by Wallace Annenberg. So a lot of private donations, nonprofits donating to that. And the crossing is a crucial step in preserving biodiversity and connecting habitats – In particular, the mountain lions and the Santa Monica Mountains. And it’s kind of a model, they say, for urban wildlife conservation. So that started in 2022 and is right about completion right now, the one in California. And so interesting that there’s this one now in England as well. I just think it’s a neat idea to help, you know, conserve our wildlife and, you know, provide protection for them.
