My guests this week are a pair of ladies that have found off road as enthusiasts, and then taken that love of the lifestyle and progressed to become competitors within the Rebelle Rally. My guests are Angela Rickerson and Adriana Stovall. Well, hello, ladies. Today, we have Angela Rickerson and Adriana Stovall. They are Rebelle Rally competitors, and we are going to talk to them about their life and how they got into off-road, and find out more about the Rebelle. So ladies, thank you for coming on and being guests.
[00:01:52.960] – Adriana Stovall
Thanks so much for having us, Rich.
[00:01:54.350] – Big Rich Klein
Thanks for having us. Yeah. So let’s get started. And with the question ask everybody, Angela, where were you born and raised?
[00:02:04.180] – Angela Rickerson
I was born here in Seattle, Washington, and I’ve never moved.
[00:02:10.520] – Big Rich Klein
Okay. And Adriana, how about yourself?
[00:02:14.820] – Adriana Stovall
So I was born and raised in Oxnard, California, and I have been in Ventura County my whole life as well. So pretty boring. Never left.
[00:02:23.540] – Big Rich Klein
Okay. So let’s… One of the things that I always… Anybody I talk to with Seattle, I always ask about web feet. Angela, do you have web feet?
[00:02:36.540] – Angela Rickerson
Not currently, because it’s a beautiful sunny day here in Seattle. But it’s very common that we have a rain outside. In fact, I almost always am wearing Crocs, and it’s a good option since you don’t have to wear socks, then they don’t get soggy.
[00:02:56.180] – Big Rich Klein
Right. Dry out pretty fast.
[00:02:58.360] – Angela Rickerson
Yeah, exactly I have to admit, I’ve never worn a set of Crocs. Please don’t. Don’t take my advice. I got addicted to them, and they are a fashion… No, they’re not good.
[00:03:12.720] – Adriana Stovall
A friend of mine had- They’re super embarrassing, but I’m on that train now, too. They’re so cool.
[00:03:17.420] – Big Rich Klein
A good friend of mine wore Crocs, and I can remember him taking them off one day, and he had sun-tanned spots. His feet were white, and he had sun spots on his feet from the sun-tanned. And I was like, okay, I will never own crocs. That’s hilarious. Anyway, so let’s find out a little bit more about your upbringings. Angela, you grew up in the Seattle area. What was life like for you as a kid in Seattle? READ MORE
