    Comin' in hot, friends... welcoming back Mr. McGiggles!

    Mr. McGiggles is back.  And not a minute too soon, as I had a hellish long Honey Do list for him here on the farm.  As usual we mock modern woke pop culture... I swear A LOT... we probably piss off a few people... and we spend a good amount of time discussing how to successfully buy and own property (especially property with land) when one of you deploys or spends long periods away from home.  Part of country living is being a steward of your land and that can be a lot for one person.  Trees fall down.  Tractors break.  Wells go dry.  Basements flood.  Just life as usual, but to survive and thrive it takes a team and support and planning.  It's a work in progress for us.  Please join us AND forgive the technical difficulties about 3/4th of the way through.  Didn't think this episode was going to make it to air but we recovered the damaged file for the episode and figured out a way to reverse engineer an ending to it.  We think of this episode as the Rocky of podcasts episodes.  Please listen and subscribe and like.  We're grateful for every listener and take on all thoughtful critiques.  Jerks will be ignored.  Many thanks for your support.

    ChiChi Goes Solo...

    Sometimes you just have to get it done.  Join me, just little ol' me and my now and again foul language, to discuss red herd changes (nothing stays the same, does it?), where in the heck my husband has gone off to for so damn long, growing older, day light savings (what  suck that is, right?), the possibility that dudes with loud, buzzy, obnoxious little cars might have been born without a penis, and maybe some inside baseball about avoiding trainers who don't feed your baby horse when you send them for training (not MY trainers... mine are amazing), etc.  The usual.  So pull up a chair, get comfy, let's schmooze, and maybe even subscribe, review, share, follow, whatevs.  We'd be grateful if you just listen and maybe follow along on one of our social media accounts.  Thanks! www.chichimcgiggles.com Insta    @chichi7062 FB    chichimcgiggles          mcgigglesandtheredherd

    Just another trashy episode...

    You know those nights when you clearly should have gone to bed, but you don't?  And then you start to get a little punchy?  That's this episode.  So of course that's the best time to discuss meditation, marriage, horses, the importance of having good babysitters/pet sitters/neighbors, and what the future holds.  If you can follow, you're doing better than we did for much of the time.  Please give it a listen, like, and subscribe.

    This wild, wild west sounding counterculture... WTF is a cowgirl who is a hippie who doesn't even actually ranch for a living? We have answers.

    What the heck is this podcast about?  Seriously.  It's important for everyone to understand that while I'm clearly obsessed with horses and working cows (I'm also really into those lush pearly lip glosses right now- sorry- I digress), this podcast is about that and more.  Not so much about lip gloss.  But sometimes.  It's about the cowgirl and the cowboy we could all be if we wanted.  The farmer inside the city girl.  The lumberjack inside the suburban dude.  OK.  Not so muc h that one maybe.  Sorta weird. It's about wanting to connect to something that remains primitive and elemental inside most of us.  And yet it seems the world is also moving away from this basic connection to the wild and one another.  Our differences seem to define us.  But we think there is common ground to find one another and our connection to the wild.  For McGiggles, that's me, your host, it's through horses.  And ranching when time allows.  This episode expands on where we're coming from and where we'd like to arrive.  Also, as promised, some awkward moments.  It's not like you didn't get a warning order.  Thanks for listening.  Please come back for our next episode... TBD. www.chichimcgiggles.com and please look for us on Facebook and Insta @chichi7062.  And yes we know there is a nonworking FB link on the web page.  We're on it.

    McGiggles & The Red Herd Warning- Hey do a podcast, they said. It will be FUN. What were we thinking?? Get ready, because it's almost here.

    Hi ya'll.  As promised, we're back.  Final edits are done.  So it suddenly occurred to us, oh damn, we need to warn people that we are letting this podcast into the wild.  Especially given that my former Green Beret, EXTREMELY extroverted husband will be my first co host (permanent position is still available HINT HINT).  So this is just a quick ad to promote what we here in The Red Herd are calling a "soft opening" episode.  A dry run.  Practice.  Expect it to be a little clunky.  Things will get better as time goes by.  I promise.  I'd apologize for my many awkward digressions but that's just normal and those will continue. Enjoy the short promo.  Should help ya'll to understand what it is we are trying to achieve in our primitive little podcast.  Enjoy.

    McGiggles & The Red Herd Warning- Hey do a podcast, they said. It will be FUN. What were we thinking?? Get ready, because it's almost here.
