Talkin’ Without Talkin’ (The Sideways Way) | S 5 E 11
About this episode
The episode explores unconventional communication methods and modern slang through humor and storytelling.
This week on the Den, we take a good hard look at all the folks who’ve decided talkin’ is optional. Colt Curd brings in a feller who refuses to use his mouth for anything but breathin’, tappin’ out his alibis like he’s billin’ by the emoji. Will tackles a handful of modern terms that sound like they were invented by a committee of tired raccoons, and Critter Corner checks in on the animals who’ve been communicatin’ sideways since long before humans invented “read receipts.” We wrap it all with a Western‑Swing toe‑tapper about sayin’ what you mean without ever lettin’ your lips get involved. For the wanderers driftin’ past the porch: If you’re huntin’ frontier humor, sideways talkin’, critter wisdom, Colt Curd calamity, Western‑Swing mischief, or just a little small‑town radio magic to keep you company on the long road home… well, you’ve found your stop.
