Mr. Windy's Running On Empty Podcast

In this episode of Running on Empty, Mr. Windy heads to Murfreesboro, Arkansas, chasing the dream of striking it rich at the Crater of Diamonds State Park. Joined by guests Phil and Joseph, from Murfreesboro Ace Hardware, dive into the gritty details of diamond hunting, from hauling a gorilla cart and shovel to sifting through every rock that might hide a treasure. But it wouldn’t be Mr. Windy without plenty of laughs along the way, as he riffs on being broke, battling dry-county liquor laws, and his shrimp-boat drinking stories. Can Mr. Windy turn gravel into glory, or will this quest leave him running on empty once again?

On this wild episode of Mr. Windy's Running On Empty Podcast, travel prep spirals into chaos as Mr. Windy stresses over digital bus tickets, charging his phone, and Arkansas marijuana laws. Windy is balancing nerves, money issues, and family drama. Something about chickens, eggs, and baseball. This has got to be one of the most unpredictable, laugh-out-loud episodes yet. Tune in as Windy slides into Texarkana, TX, off the rails.

Mr. Windy is mad as hell and ain't gonna take it anymore. And you know what that means—time to leave the UP, and Mr. Windy needs a ride to his next adventure. Who's game? Must like chickens, cigarette smoke, whiskey, and, well, Mr. Windy. Keep listening to learn the location of Mr. Windy's next dig. 

Mr. Windy's Running On Empty - Season 5, Episode 35. It's hard to believe that the Mr. Windy podcast is still on the air and doing surprisingly well. Mr Windy hasn't changed much over the years; he still has his drink in one hand and his chaser in the other. Still smoking the good ones and the bad ones. Still scratchin' around on thin ice, still running on empty. HEY AND YOU KNOW WHAT F YOU TOO! HOW BOUT THAT? LIKE MY LIFE STYLE NOW? YOU C GUZZLIN PETR LEACHH!

Mr. Windy’s back, and this week he’s got feathers in his cap, and maybe a little egg on his face. After a classic Mr. Windy blunder, he’s eating crow (not chicken), and now there’s a hen on the lam. With 25 hens supposed to be in the coop, it’s time to round up some young helpers to see if the headcount is right—or else, as Mr. Windy puts it, “there’s a cat that’s gonna die.” Meanwhile, the birds are feasting on the garden, and Mr. Windy’s patience is wearing thin—those garden thieves might be next on the chopping block.

Listen in as Mr. Windy admits he’s so dumb, he gives the eggs away for free, and let’s say his fishing and farming skills aren’t winning him any blue ribbons. But don’t worry, he promises, “everything’s gonna be all white.” The episode takes a wild turn as Mr. Windy tackles questions about the Civil War, spinning tales about the North, the South, and who’s really to blame, plus, is Charles really a Yankee Doodle from Connecticut?

It’s chaos, comedy, and a little bit of country wisdom, Mr. Windy style. Until next week… get out of here, Drag Queen!
