Mr. Windy's Running On Empty Podcast

After six unpredictable years, hundreds of episodes, and more chaos than a hurricane on the high seas, Charlie Diamond’s (formerly Mr. Windy) legendary show crashes to earth in spectacular fashion. In this explosive episode, once known as Running on Empty and reborn as Running on Jet Fuel, Diamond gives a fiery update from his diamond-mining adventure — only to ignite a long-distance showdown with a producer over 700 miles away. Between the sound effects, the shouting, and the emotional “OK Bye,” one of podcasting’s most eccentric icons might have just signed off for good. Did we lose a great show… or witness the birth of something even wilder? Tune in for mining, mayhem, and the dramatic end of an era on Running on Jet Fuel with Charlie Diamond.

Charles “Mr. Windy” Shaw is camped out at the famed Miners Camp near the Crater of Diamonds, gearing up to strike it rich. With heartfelt thanks to Phil and Joseph at Murfreesboro Ace Hardware for their ongoing support, Charlie’s new digs are top-notch, with hot showers, a clean potty, and a price that’s just right. But not everything’s sparkling: a mysterious “thief in the mist” has swiped some cigarettes. The real diamond of this episode is Whisper Artango, a Navajo woman whose friendship and mining know-how could change everything. In a heartfelt twist, Charles bids farewell to his long-time alter ego, “Mr. Windy,” and embraces a new identity, Charlie Diamond. The show itself gets a boost, too: Running on Empty is now Running on Jet Fuel with Charlie Diamond. Adventure awaits! #CharlieDiamond 

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!

Wow! Mr. Windy's Diss Track is Savage. OK!! A "diss track" is a song that aims to attack or disparage another person verbally, often stemming from an existing feud or conflict. Mr. Windy's Diss Track is for Omelette and Finster on WKLT in Northern Travers City, Michigan! OK BYE.

Tumble Weed is itching to be on the road again. Northern Michigan in the rearview? Packin' up and leaving? Well, Summertime is close, ok I'll Stay.  Wow! Charles Gets F'ed everyday and twice on Sunday. Let's get RB's Funny Little Starfish Man.
