What’s to Do? – Page 3 – The "Prescott Pickle Lady"

Packing Heat

People in Prescott like guns. We kind of knew that when we moved here. But what surprised us most is that guns in Prescott really aren't all about self-defense... or hunting... or any of the things we were expecting coming from Texas and Louisiana. In this episode, we give our take on the whole gun thing and what it might mean to you if you move here. 

Gun Ranges We Recommend

Video Transcript

well hello hello hello peeps fellow pickle peeps got the prescott pickle lady here that’s right this is diane bro this is my better half randall bro i’m the sidekick that’s right we are here uh we’re with exp realty happy to join you today and talk about some of the fun stuff here in prescott one of them is if you are not a gun aficionado you might want to skip this one and i understand yeah well in arizona in general uh guns are popular uh and we were amazed at just how many of our friends like to shoot had no idea so it’s not just for defense yeah uh prescott is a really great town people love to go to the shooting ranges to relax and practice their shooting there’s also a lot of outdoor ranges and outdoor areas so you can go especially in the fall and enjoy beautiful weather and shoot at targets yeah if it gets a little dry you might have a shooting ban outside because evidently you can start a fire that way but uh you know yeah in the in the fall in other areas that that’s all lifted you know you go out and have a nice picnic shoot your gun shoot your rifles perhaps your ars yeah your ars yeah unbelievable uh france had some of the these uh advanced weaponry which are a lot of fun to share it’s a lot of fun to share and so if you are a gun enthusiast prescott is the town that is your place uh first of all arizona it does allow open carry yes uh you can also get your concealed weapon if you want to go one step further um and so it is kind of still has a little feel of a little western town yeah we see some people uh you know carry on their side and if that makes you feel uncomfortable um i understand but for most people here they’re very responsible um it’s an enjoyment thing for them they are either hunters or they just love to practice and target you yeah well one thing about people who shoot they do know gun safety that’s basically what it’s all about recently there was something in the news about a a gun accident that happened in hollywood and all of her friends play he should have known better you should have known better yes that’s the thing about guns it’s all about knowing the safety and you know and how to be safe and uh people who know guns that they’re pretty good about yeah so if you are like i said a gun enthusiast you will really enjoy it here um people love to there’s clubs you can join um you can go shoot for fun um as well as for your own protection if that’s your thing is that your thing um yeah a lot of shooting ranges uh some to avoid um and well at least one in particular but uh we don’t want to record that so you can call we also put on the relocation center the ones that we recommend oh absolutely there’s some great ranges so if you’re coming here and you’re wondering hey do they have shooting ranges there are we allowed to shoot outdoors the answer to that question is yes yes um is it an open carry yes um if you are you know but it’s it’s all to each his own yeah you know and everybody here is extremely responsible yeah and the only thing you’re going to do is have fun you’re not particularly concerned about security which honestly don’t have to worry about security really not a big deal just a whole lot of fun uh you can shoot handguns uh some people shoot skate that’s fun yes that’s a lot of fun that just can be a lot of fun a lot of people who are into it and can do it with you uh and they got some really cool stuff there’s a noise cancellation headphones yeah where you put the headphones on and it actually has a microphone so you’re talking to your friends and everything but when someone fires a gun it automatically cuts out and that’s pretty high tech i was very impressed by that we are very impressed we had a great time we got invited by some friends we’ve since joined a couple of gun ranges we’ve learned what it’s all about um and uh it’s uh kind of a new little chapter it’s fun yeah so if that’s your thing if that’s your thing and that’s your hobby prescott is the place for you absolutely you would really enjoy it so i just want to give you a little heads up on that um lots of folks here who belong to different gun ranges and have a lot of fun it’s kind of a meditative thing sometimes yeah you know that’s that i i shot for the first time i guess a year or two ago and uh i thought it was going to be sort of a testosterone filled you know like you see on the movie screens and everything and uh honestly it was quite zen yes uh because you’re focusing it it was amazing just how tranquil the whole thing was i i liked it a lot more yeah we did too so uh anyway just

Cool Trees

Prescott is its own little ecosystem, so the plants and animals you see here can be quite different from what you're used to (especially if you've grew up in - say - the swamps of Louisiana).  In this episode we call out some of our very favorite trees, which we were delighted to discover when we moved here.

Video Transcript

hello hello hello hello peeps this is randall and i am diane bro they’re a prescott pickle lady that’s right and uh we are your local husband and wife team here in prescott um ready willing and able to help you to serve you uh amazing customer service if i say so myself but anyway here to talk about cool trees yeah this was something you know now that we’re kind of spring has sprung we’re heading into summer all of our beautiful trees here you know we’re from the deep south yeah so we have now been exposed to trees we’ve never seen never heard of we’re from the land of oak trees and spanish moss cypress and all that pine trees just plain old pine trees so when we moved here we were like wow yeah what is this tree that’s just getting leaves and blossoming and completely different floor totally different so we just love it and one of my favorite is the smoke tree smoke trees are so cool so cool you won’t find them down i thought it was the strangest thing i remember the first time i’m driving through prescott lakes yeah they take us on smoketree and i was like why is this what do you smoke but we actually have trees here and they call them smoke trees and the reason why is a certain time of year now it’s basically now right now right now we’re in june yep this is it this is it you can kind of see why they call them smoke trees it’s like uh they’ve got this sort of fluffy thing fluffy little flowers looks like the leaves are kind of purple um and they’ll start leafing out first and then these little puffs of this little flower comes out and it looks like little cups of smoke so in prescott lakes one of the main drags on the way to the club is called smoke tree and it’s lined with these smoke trees so now i get it now again connection yeah and um so those are really unusual beautiful trees i’ve never seen them where i’m from so i appreciate that yeah i don’t know how far i feel you can go uh where how far out smoke trees are whether that’s uh yeah i don’t know not to look at it but they’re big here yeah they’re very big here very big here another one that’s uh really cool is the quaking aspen yeah beautiful trees beautiful and the winds blow and the leaves they literally quick and shaky and it’s just but it’s just beautiful to see the breeze go through them and it’s all leafy and green and you know both that one and the um smoke tree they will lose their leaves yeah but then it all comes back in the spring and summer and it’s just beautiful and of course an aspen when it when it loses its leaves it’s beautiful in the fall it’s just beautiful yeah it’s got that silver bark yeah that’s really cool i like a good aspen not a good good aspirin everybody likes a good um yeah i get it the other tree that we would uh we would call out is called the red leaf plum what’s your favorite favorite yeah also purpley who are you talking to this is this is my very favorite and it’s a beautiful tree and it goes through very different phases yes um so most of the year it it kind of looks like the leaves are made of like a red purple leather almost or velvet it’s like so descriptive yeah they’re beautiful beautiful trees just sort of normally yes uh but when they blossom in the early spring they look like cherry blossoms they do it does it looks like you’re in washington dc washington amongst the cherry blossoms that’s true bright bright pink light pink beautiful yeah and they almost look like a snow cone yeah absolutely it’s stunning so and there they are fruit trees you know what else i love them we didn’t talk about this but i love it’s called a desert willow oh okay and sometimes a desert willow is more it’s usually a bush but some of the uh landscapers will train it to grow into a tree and that takes very little water it’s in the willow family but it makes beautiful purple and pink flowers yeah all throughout the summer so it’s a little different than your traditional weeping willow which is what i’m used to so i’m all about the desert willow yeah yeah one of the things you look forward to in coming here is learning all the local flora and fauna the different kinds of trees they have here we’ve done an episode before on birds and the crazy kinds of birds that we get here a lot of birds coming through so there’s a great variety yeah uh and just taking the time to learn more about the local nature and yeah and you know uh citrus doesn’t do so well here citrus trees because we do get kind of chilly willy in the winter yeah but i tell you what cherries plums um what are some of the others well the red leaf plums we mentioned yeah before they are edible and they’re actually pretty good yeah apples apricots yeah apples not a problem not a problem all those and those two are just as equally beautiful so anyway we’ve had fun kind of learning about all the different trees and enjoying them it’s something we’ve never got to experience down in the south so here it’s like a whole new world people a whole new world you can learn all kinds of new things here yeah and expand your horizons and isn’t that what it’s all about get yourself some cherries or some red plums aspen grab yourself and grab grab and ask rub it out and grab this mask i don’t know if there’s anything you can eat no but it’s so pretty i like the way it shakes though i like that shaking the shaking aspen anyway okay so yeah i can tell you we’re heading in that direction we’re trying to connect it together yeah i get it it’s not easy being a comedian folks not easy being a realtor either if you’re looking for information about real estate the place to go is pickle411.com that is our information site whether you are a buyer seller somewhere in between you’re looking for information on plums or trees or quaking aspens um that’s

hill right in front of home depot and we had to every time we took a drive with our dogs can we drive by that restaurant i want to see what’s coming sure anyway they are open much to our delight it is a cocky’s chicken chicken and brewery and it is probably the best chicken fingers we’ve ever had fried catfish you can also get roasted chicken yeah you can they have what they call bone in chicken we just go right for them yeah i guess that’s just regular chicken we go right for the chicken tea the chicken tenders catfish the cat they have a southern style uh catfish which is the uh uh cornmeal

science are very good coleslaw yeah you name it and and they have it in there they in fact they have a bar you can go in and just drink if you want you can go through the drive-through as well um

spontaneous performer and so it’s really hard for me to follow direction anyway speaking of performances is that a transition or what that’s a great transition yeah good job here to talk about the elks theater the alex is back baby we are having the time of our lives the elk theater is a lovely very old-fashioned theater historic historic beautiful right near the square of downtown prescott and for the past two years because of covet no shows nothing it’s been very very sad yeah um but recently they reopened to the mass crowd and we were so excited to be one of the first ones to attend uh cover band called tapestry uh that covers carol king and we had the time of our lives it was amazing and so the the old-fashioned theater opened up every city it was sold out folks sold out shows so that was so the elks theater has uh well i’ve been to two venues i think there might be others there’s a there’s what they call the crystal room which is on the third floor and that’s relatively small it’s like a small bank smaller more intimate more intimate yeah a more intimate music experience so they’ve they’ve been having uh performances there for a while uh it was completely shut down four times and they started doing the crystal room i guess you know there was a limit on the number of people like that i i don’t know uh but you know it became a regular thing the crystal room yeah um it wasn’t until tapestry yeah that they opened the big theater now the big theater is big it’s big uh they opened the whole thing and i think it was it was backed i mean people it was packed we were so excited to rejoin the the wonderful world that was oh yeah before covid and um what was really great was uh when you go to see a show at the elks they kind of have little mini dance floors so couples can get up and dance as the cover bands play and i don’t know who that couple was but you were amazing it just made my heart just so full um i was just so happy to see this couple i mean they were

opened and uh red white and blue so we we went there with a couple of our friends that’s right and it was it was a good experience it was it was not what i was expecting not at all we give it a thumbs up yeah um we just kind of thought it might be bar food pub food kind of things given that it’s called red white and brew you would think it’s kind of a brewpub but it’s it’s really not no it isn’t

hello hello hello the beeps randall and diane bro here choose fickle lady in prescott arizona we’re your fellow helpful realtors eager to help you find a place here or eager we’re here to serve what can i say what can i say i like it yeah so we’re here to talk about something that is huge here and it may be huge where you are i’m not sure um but you know this is a big retirement town so a lot of folks come and now they can have the time of their lives no more work schedule no more commuting uh everybody’s worked hard and they’re like we are here to partay yeah so they’re looking for things to do and socialize and share time together and the thing that’s kind of taken off is pickleball pickleball well i i think pickleball has taken over the whole nation yeah it’s become very popular it’s a lot easier on the joints and and you know so um as we age you know it’s not quite so hard but you can still be active but without damaging yourself as we have done yeah and also too if you if you’re playing i have found that if you’re playing pickleball and the other players are much better than you you can still kind of have a game yes whereas if you’re playing tennis and the other person’s really good i mean it’s not going to be fun yeah it’s not fun so it’s it’s very social and very social and uh so a lot of people pick it up they have women’s pickleball they have men’s they have um men and women mixed doubles i knew there was a phrase for you i just was like yeah pickleball singles well i like it as as it’s also true in tennis uh when you play doubles it’s a lot easier yes you might have to cover half the court so we have the balls the same way i played singles once or twice a lot harder doubles is a lot more fun but we have a lot of friends who have picked up pickleball they love it they’ve like oh my gosh it’s become quite the social event for them and so in particular like we live in prescott lakes uh they have six or seven pickleball courts that’s how big it’s gotten and they keep adding more courts and so a lot of people here have joined the pickleball club and so they meet and they have all the way from the very beginners to advanced so don’t feel intimidated if you move here uh everybody’s super welcoming happy to teach you and you can as you grow you can bump up uh so it’s as competitive or as relaxed and fun as you want to make it absolutely so we tried a couple of times we’re just too busy and we’re not retired that and it’s hard for us not to curse it’s hard yeah i wasn’t gonna say it but they do have some nice rules everybody’s uh very uh gentlemanly and ladylike and i missed a couple of times and i said the s word you know and um so yeah that was very hard for me um but i would i would train myself if i had more time i would learn how to control that but so even if you don’t live in prescott lakes they have public pickleball courts uh off of willow uh creek and that off of that street they have public courts and lots of people join there so even if you’re not a resident of prescott lakes there’s plenty of other opportunity for you to play pickleball and those things are big too rumor is rumor is we had an old sears that closed in the shopping center and we have heard i think it’s pretty definite they are gonna they they’re working on converting the whole interior into indoor pickleball courts yeah which i think is pretty cool that’s like yeah that’s like yeah yeah the the [Music] shopping center thing is is in decline has been for at least you know they’re dying on the vine and it’s sad you know to see especially around christmas time you know shopping centers were such an important part of christmas and now they’re kind of dying on the vines so yeah i was wondering i wish someone would come up with a new use for these spaces and yeah a place where the community can come together and when i heard the pickleball i think it’s brilliant oh my god that’s brilliant because then if it’s too hot in the summer you can be inside if it gets chilly willy in the winter i mean i think that’s ideal yeah you do the food court thing and it’ll be open to the public and everything else so anyway if you are a huge pickleball player or you’re thinking about picking it up uh prescott is the town for pickleball it is huge and people just have so much fun meeting other couples other people and then you develop other friendships so it’s a great way to meet people so we highly recommend prescott for pickleball there you go yeah and even at prescott lakes they hire the national pickleball coach yeah there’s a national pickleball coach and he came to prescott lakes to give personalized instruction and uh classes yeah so it’s uh it’s a big deal here so anyway if you’re thinking about it or if you are already
