We just what's on top of our mind if there's anything that is on our mind, if we do have a mind. We we just love to sit around, talk about it, help it out because we have been meeting together for about, oh, I don't know what it was. It's been right about 4 years now. Yeah. 4. And, and just been having just having good conversations. So we've talked about this, that, these, those, and other stuff, and it's just it's a a great way.

So, anyhow, God likes to say hello. Welcome. And, dude, what's been happening in your world today?
[00:01:31] Duuude-Ron :
Well, dude has been having, well, it was yesterday and today was a long driving day. So, yeah, I put in 13 hours yesterday, and what I put in today? 9 hours. So it wasn't as bad, but, yep, just the wonderful people out there that we call or us semi drivers and tractor trailer drivers call 4 wheelers are just out of control.
[00:02:04] Rich Chelson:
They're non truck driving personnel.
[00:02:06] Duuude-Ron :
Non truck drivers. Personnel. Personnel. Yeah. Four wheelers. They are Yeah. Yeah. Four wheelers. And granted, I'm a 4 wheeler because as soon as I step out of my truck, you know, am I doing the same thing? You know, I used to until I stepped foot in a truck, and now I will not cut off a truck. I will give them plenty of room before I merge into a lane that has a truck in it because now I know how them guys feel.
[00:02:42] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Funny thing about go ahead. Go ahead. Keep going. Go. I didn't realize you're still going, so keep going.
[00:02:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. As far as that has changed my outlook on my driving as a 4 wheeler. But for those individuals that don't have a class a license, you know, they it is it is chaotic out there right now, especially post, COVID. Everybody is in such a hurry to get no place in record time. So my my week has been you know, it's been an okay week. Hopefully, I get to when when when I check my, lottery tickets, I have the winning lottery ticket number. That would be wonderful. Absolutely. Yes. That would definitely help.
[00:03:35] Bryan Goodwin:
But, you you talk about 4 wheelers and stuff. Reminds me of, back whenever I first started up driving for, for a, a company that I drove previously. We had all were making a, making a run over to, oh, crap. I would forget the name of the damn town. Anyhow, it was just just outside of Shreveport. As we were going through there, we were go passing through Dallas. And it was about, I don't know, probably 5 or 6 of us, and it was I was, closer to the to the end, and, Papa Goose was one of the, drivers. And he was heading he was just barreling right through there. We got into Dallas, oh, just a little bit after or right before the, rush hour hit. And we were on I twenty going through the mix master, just right around 5 o'clock. It's so it was everything was turning to crap in a big hurry.
We ended up jumping over to one lane. And if you don't know about semitrucks, they don't whenever you turn your your wheel, left to right after turning on the blinker, it doesn't we don't have the little trip bar on there that that knocks the, blinker back into place. So you actually have to hit you actually have to disengage your your blinker if you wanna if, if you wanna stop the blinking blinker from blinking. And so that's a lot of times. That's why you'll see truck drivers driving down the road, and they'll have their left blinker going because they they moved over to the left and didn't, didn't hit disengage the blinker. Well, I did that once. And I had, headed on and a a guy behind me, his name was, name was Ricky.
He was, I don't know, probably about 15 minutes after we all jumped over to, left one lane and stuff. All of a sudden, I hear I hear Ricky could pop in there. Hey, Potter. Turn your bliker off. You're fucking up the 4 wheelers. Because everybody was wanting to pass me, but I had that damn left blinker going on so people would stop or not stop, but kinda pace behind me waiting to see if I was gonna jump over into the left hand lane or not, and then they would start going. So I was building a parade and not and and and not on purpose. But every time I've heard 4 wheelers now, that's kind of the big thing that I think of is, hey. You're fucking up the 4 wheelers. Turn
[00:06:04] Rich Chelson:
the biker up. Don't feed the bears or feed the 4 wheelers.
[00:06:11] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No kidding.
[00:06:14] Bryan Goodwin:
So and, Rich, how about you? What's going on in your world?
[00:06:19] Rich Chelson:
Not too much, except I don't think I'm a fan of, of buying a house.
[00:06:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Buying a house can be a bit crazy. It can be a roller coaster ride to say the
[00:06:31] Rich Chelson:
least. You think? Yeah. It's it's I I'm like, yeah. That's, I mean, I've got like 3 or 4 people I deal with and, and, you know, I gotta call, you know, and check on the insurance and, and, and then I've got the loan officer lady, and I've, I've got to get this information, that information, this information. It's like, what the fuck? You know? And it's like, oh, oh, we need it right now. We need it. And, and while I get some papers, about 5 o'clock And it says, oh, oh, we need these documents signed and all like this. And I'm sitting there looking at him going through it. And I'm like, you know what? This shit can wait till tomorrow.
[00:07:14] Bryan Goodwin:
And that's that's precisely what you need to do. Yeah. They wanna get things moving as quick as possible, and there's a reason why because, because once you get it on contract, things will breathe a little bit more because then the that goes to the abstract, and the abstract has to collect all the all the documents of all the changes and the history of the house and all that. Right. And and and then the lawyers and the our agents start all kinda talking and bashing. You could kinda catch a breather. But, yeah, there's a there's a period couple periods in there where you're just like going, holy shit. Then there's gonna be times where they're going. I don't know. We've gonna need something some more. Oh, we're gonna need an extra, you know, $4,000 for this. Or, no, that's not gonna work. We're gonna need something like this. And you're just going, dude.
No. Man, I I actually they're, they were fixing to we were at the point when they were wrapping everything up, and we were prepared for what they they claimed the closing costs were. Mhmm. And I think he said so they said it's something, like, gonna be, like, $4,000 in closing cost or something. I I can't, just a number I pull out of my head. It's not actually the amount, but Right. You know, that's kinda but then they said, as we're getting ready, for the closing, like, alright. Well, we're gonna we got closings, gonna start b tomorrow.
And so we are going to need, you to have a cashier's check for, $9,280. And I was like and I remember that number. 9,280. Oh my god. And I was like, I'm sorry. How much? Well, we need the that's the closing cost. No. No. No. No. No. No. You told me $4,000. Right. And I understand. It's an estimate. It might be $4,500. It might be $3,500. But a reasonable swing is about a about $500 plus or minus in my book. Right. An extra swing of another $4,500. You know? Yeah. That's sorry. But y'all are no. Never mind. And they were, like, going, well, if you back out now, it's gonna hit your hit your credit. And I was like, I've got shitty credit as it is. Why do you think I've got an adjustable rate mortgage, and I'm okay with 9% interest? This is back, you know, back in, in 2002. Right. It's like, I know I've got shitty credit. You ain't telling me nothing I ain't aware of.
Yeah. No. Let me see what I can do. And so they figured out a way to bundle it and wrap it up into the, into the loan itself. Well, basically yeah. They yeah. Yeah. It sounds like they screwed you is what it was. It was, it was a new Gladys. Gladys was the it was one of the, one of the ladies. It was it was a a it's yeah. They screwed me, but it was it was a fly by night. You know, how they talked about the, the predatory lending lenders? Yeah. No. Okay. That's that's Gladys and, and this other person. Okay. And her husband. Yeah. They was just trying to They had they had an office, and it was a rough looking office. And me and Jana kinda cracked up about it because, like, the second or third time we we went over to meet, meet with the, with the mortgage brokers.
Gladys showed up, and she was in pajama pants and not really cared. And we were just like, now there's professional quality out there, but we were already, you know, well into the end of the process. And we're like, alright. Well, we'll just we'll just deal with it as we deal with it, and we'll just No. I get you. We'll just wink. Down. You can go Oh, I know what you get at, but at the same time, I was living At the time when we were getting the get the house, I was working in Elk City. So I was in Elk City. Jana and the kids were all still living in Sunray, Texas Mhmm.
Which is 2 and a half hours away. Mhmm. You know? As, anything over, you know, anything over, over 2 hours is considered long distance in in Texas time.
[00:11:18] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:11:20] Bryan Goodwin:
And so it was it was a long ways to drive there and not a long ways to drive back. And so I was not wasn't going home at the end of the day. I was going I was having to work until I got told that, hey. You've got, your your weekend is coming up, and the weekend could be out Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, Friday, or Wednesday, 3rd you know, it's gonna be 2 days together, but you never knew exactly where in the week they were gonna fall. Right. So there would be you know, I was always I was always gone. You know, where I was working for a company called EPIC. They're no longer around anymore. EPIC Well Services, and they, we set up the, monitoring equipment for for drilling wells.
So they were they were, I would just I would work there, and then I actually would get had a, a pay by week, apartment or not apartment, but a hotel room. Mhmm. And, over at the, over at the Travelodge in in Elk City, which is no longer there. They tore it down about 3 years ago, but still, at the time, got to know the owners of it, and they're nice, nice couple. But, but, anyhow, so I I was needing to find a place that we could live at because we knew that, that, the the owner of the house we were renting in Sunray wasn't gonna be was getting tired of renting and, actually kinda rented to us just because I was a friend of the family. Right. And so they were, they were getting tired of renting, and so I we were needing to find a new place to go anyhow. So I we're looking around, found the house that we're in, which at the time, it wasn't in the greatest shape, but at the same time, it was low enough that I knew I had a swinging chance of at least being able to get it. Right. And so we we went ahead and got it. But, yeah, I could've backed out, but wasn't about to back out because I was like, oh, we're too we're we're already on on this path. We're gonna we're gonna stick through this puppy to the, to the bitter end because, you know, there's a there's an element of fear in thereof. If I say no or I fight back out, then there's gonna be a chance they go, yeah. We are not gonna be able to find anything else for you. You you yeah. We we tried. You might need to try, you know, about an hour south of us or an hour north of us or someplace. You know? Have you looked at Woodwork? You know? I was like, no. We're I don't wanna go anywhere else other than in this area. This is where this is where employment is. I wanna stay in the employment area.
[00:13:49] Rich Chelson:
Well, see, that's where well, I mean, I mean, o 2. I mean, things have changed a lot over the years over the last 20 years with realtors and stuff like that. Mhmm. So, but yeah. No. Did those people that you bought your house through, did they make you sign an agreement that you was only gonna use them?
[00:14:09] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't know. Probably. Agreement? Well, I mean, it was with the mortgage company. I mean, as far as I know.
[00:14:17] Rich Chelson:
No. This is not. I this is just with the realtor you Oh, no. No. The realtor realtor no. I
[00:14:25] Bryan Goodwin:
the realtor that I that I used is, is reputable when they're hell, they're still around. No. I still talk to the the lady the son, the lady who we bought the who's, who was the realtor for the house. So Okay.
[00:14:41] Rich Chelson:
So, yeah, that's that's what that's what I've been doing. And, yeah, when I saw those papers and I was reading them and all like this, because this is the first time I've I've seen actual numbers, And I I just I just closed it out and I'm like, nah, you know what? I'm gonna sit on this for a minute.
[00:15:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Let's
[00:15:01] Rich Chelson:
how how how badly do I really wanna spend this money? So Oh, I mean, you know, no. It's not that. It's just that, yeah, I guess I, well, I've well, I need to look at the papers again. But, I think I think I have to pay for the appraisal up front, but I think it's wrapped up in the loan too. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. It's typically is that typically is. Yeah. What?
[00:15:31] Bryan Goodwin:
The inspection and the appraisal. Yeah. That Is what? That's usually, usually, the the, buyer does that. Yeah, you can typically have that wrapped up in the in the in the, loan. And then you you also usually have the seller do the closing costs.
[00:15:56] Rich Chelson:
Well, okay. Hold on here. Hold on. I'm I'm, doing a VA loan. I'm not doing a conventional loan. Right. And the VA loan, okay, seller is only allowed to pay 5% of the closing costs. And that that is from the VA. That's not from the that's not from anybody else. The the VA states that in there that the, seller can only pay 5% of the closing cost. What did they realize? There's still a whole other 95% of the stuff that's not been getting paid out of that. Yeah. You know, it's like it's like, what the hell? I mean, I mean, the VA is funding the loan. Okay. So Right. So it's guaranteed money, you know. It, you know, it'll get paid.
But, and say, trying to find insurance because, see, down here, I have to have a homeowner's policy, wouldn't inhale and flood.
[00:16:57] Bryan Goodwin:
K. Okay.
[00:16:59] Rich Chelson:
Just because I live so close to the Gulf. Right. And everything on and that, I've talked to a few other people, and one person's paying, like, 34100 a year. Another one's paying 32100. I got one quote. I was staring at about $5, but I was talking with this other guy, and I'm still waiting to hear back from him on the final number. Excuse me. But it'll sound like it'll be around 36, 37100. And that's for all of that. Right. Which and then and then, of course, my my loan officer wants wants me to talk to a few more people about the insurance. And it's like, just give me the best fucking price and let me go. I hate this. Right.
You know? I mean,
[00:17:54] Bryan Goodwin:
I Choices. Choices. Choices. No. When it comes to insurance, no. There's not any choices, but, no, they wanna give you the impression that's choices.
[00:18:03] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I know. But it's like, no. You know? If you can keep me around 34, 35100, sign sign me up. So, yeah, I don't know. I I just I just had to shut everything down and shut my mind down because because otherwise, I had just searched and walked away. Right. I lost $500 because I put $500 down for earnest money,
[00:18:29] Bryan Goodwin:
but I don't care. Right.
[00:18:32] Rich Chelson:
You know? Because, yeah, when it's like that, it's just like, you know, I've got I've got, you know, my phone's going off texting or someone will call, you know, how you doing? Hey. We're doing this and this and this, and we'll have this stuff tell you. And then, yeah, it just it's just like stop. So, you know, flip the switch off. So okay.
[00:18:57] Bryan Goodwin:
That's where you wanna go off and saying, no.
[00:19:05] Rich Chelson:
Say it in Italian.
[00:19:07] Bryan Goodwin:
I haven't gotten what English is, or, as of yet. So
[00:19:12] Rich Chelson:
yo. Shut the hell up. But yeah. So yeah. That's that's been my week so far.
[00:19:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Sounds like fun. Outrageous. Well, that's what I'm gonna call it. Okay. So And me? No. No. It had the biggest thing that happened to me was I got to go go over, hang out with with, with, Goober and spend some time with her and hang out with the kids. And and I've, I've got a biggest thing I've I've come to the realization and I've been kinda watching videos on is I've gotta figure out how to train my get my damn dogs trained. And that's just because they are too big to be as freaking hyper as they are. They need to learn how to manage their, their their energy level a lot more.
Now some of it is due to the fact that, yeah, I was you know, we I don't get to walk them until on the weekends, and stuff, so they they have a lot of pent up energy. Mhmm. But, but at the same time, I mean, now and, see, my my dane and my daughter's dogs are okay with each other until my dog gets too wound up and loon it it it's a very specific, number, elements that, fall in line. Rain's excited. Luna's in the picture, is in in the area. And if I'm in the picture if I'm in the picture and Luna gets too close to me and and Rain is excited, Not sure who it is, but somebody light sides okay. It's time. It's on, bitch. And the 2 girls go after each other.
And there's a reason why the German shepherd corgi okay. This is a little short fucking dog. Alright? It's the take take a German shepherd and shrink it down to a quarter size. Mhmm. This is what Luna is. He is a German shepherd Corgi mix. So short little thing, but her her nickname now is chainsaw.
[00:21:27] Rich Chelson:
Oh, wow.
[00:21:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Because she got rain. She got her right above the eye and below the eye. Got her on the shoulder. And, I mean, these are all pretty re pretty respectable little puncture wounds. I mean, there's no blood gushing and pouring out, but there was there were puncture wounds around her face. There's puncture wounds on her shoulder, puncture wounds on her lip. And, I mean, this dog and I've I've had I've had experience with with chainsaw before because they were her and Rain were fighting 1 morning, and I went to go pull them apart. And as I did, my finger decided to become the, got in the middle of teeth. And Oh, wow. Yeah. So and it was just one bite, but, by gosh, there was, like, 6 little punctures in there. It was like, so Wow. And I I can't get mad at them because they're just their dogs are doing what the what dogs are doing. Rain's being unstable.
And and, and and Luna is just saying, hey. You you gotta calm the fuck down, bitch. We're this is Right. No place for you to go losing your shit.
[00:22:33] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[00:22:34] Bryan Goodwin:
So I've I'm going to have to figure out how to get rain to calm down. And that's the same process. Also need to make sure I get Watson calm down because Watson will go off and get rain worked up, especially whenever I walk in because he since he's got hearing, he hears me walk in. Rain will be sleeping on the bed or something, and I'll walk in and he'll come in, and he'll get himself all excited. And I'll, the only thing I really know is don't look, don't talk, don't touch. But it doesn't work off him because he still starts just bouncing off, man, and you're not supposed to push him away. Right. Because you're just essentially, you're interacting with them. You're pushing you're you're feeding into the their their chaos.
Mhmm. And so I can't I'm not supposed to push him away. But he, at the same time, this dude got Wolverine claws. And for whatever reason, he likes to he likes to poke you in poke you in the back and on the sides and in the legs and in the nuts, all with the tip of those damn claws. And it's like, son of a bit, you know, I'll so eventually, I have to pay attention to them. They just, you know, if anything, just to to to get them shoved away and to, you know, and try to Calm down. Yeah. Let's see. Well, that's not calming down. Because what I'll do is if I get them calmed down or if I stop looking, then he's like, oh, okay. Well, well, I'm gonna go get rain. And so he runs into the bedroom, wakes her up, and she'll come walking out, like, going, what the fuck, man? I was sleeping and then see me. And she's like, oh, okay. And so then he all of a sudden starts going, oh, hey. Alright. It's time to get rowdy. She's up. She's all excited. So it's he starts making all sorts of noises and racket and growling type of noises, but he's wanting to try to wrestle with her. And it's like, so now it all has devolved into a, alright. I'm home to a, oh my god. We're gonna we gotta, you know, we're gonna tear the house down type of type of scene. And it's like, Jesus freaking h Christ. So, yeah, I've gotta get the dogs trained. I'm like, that that's pretty much what I'm gonna be doing for the next probably year is, is I probably start out with, with general corrections and probably devolve into bull whips.
So Well by my side. They do have
[00:24:50] Rich Chelson:
they, they, they do have, vibrating collars.
[00:24:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, we we looked at vibrating collar for And they beeps. Because that's to to get her attention. For him, I'm I'm thinking of just getting a collar that plugs into the wall.
[00:25:11] Rich Chelson:
But no. They Get me off.
[00:25:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Watch all that girl straighten out.
[00:25:18] Rich Chelson:
They've got those colors and, because, Matt used used 1 on, Troop. And, I and and and saying that most Matt ever had to do, I think was beat, you know, just beep him. Right. You know, he would listen, you know,
[00:25:38] Bryan Goodwin:
So Well, that's that's what our our trainer that we have. We got a a friend who's a trainer. She actually trained, the dogs we had before, before this. And, and she and she was, we had talked to her about rain just as a means of how do we train a deaf dog. You know? And she was like, well, it's it's a little bit harder, but it is doable. And big thing you wanna make sure you do is get her a vibrating collar, something that will get her attention. Mhmm. And, she was like, and this is the best one that, that I know of that we that you can use, and it's something like $350. Just like, goddamn, man. That's a you know?
That's that's that's a lot of money for a dog collar that you gotta charge recharge from time to time. So
[00:26:29] Rich Chelson:
I mean I mean, find one that's half that price, sir. I mean, look on Amazon, dude. Because they all Well, this one here has got plenty of it's I think most of it is the range
[00:26:41] Bryan Goodwin:
so that if she, you know, she does get, get a little ways away from you, you know, you can still because it's kinda like the time that, whenever we're over in Pottsville. What if for whatever reason, this dog just, you know, got a wild hair up her ass that, that boogeyman was coming after or something. Because we've gone over to the cemetery and we're playing is playing catch because it was a open area. There was one one gate that, that she could get out of, and she I had to at first, I had to pick her up and put her over the over the cattle crosser to that goes into the, into the the the cemetery because she wasn't sure exactly how you navigate that, that cattle crossing.
[00:27:24] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm.
[00:27:25] Bryan Goodwin:
And so I was like, sweet. Awesome. She's she I can just kinda let her roam around and do her thing, and and, I could sit there and and mess around, look at the, look at the headstones and stuff, which is what I like to do. I mean, I'm always finding new things. That's the first time, like, last time I, not this last time or the time before. I went there. Heck, I was walking around. I never noticed the, the grave for some dude's arm.
[00:27:52] Rich Chelson:
What?
[00:27:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Some dude had his arm amputated. And he buried
[00:27:58] Rich Chelson:
it. And, and, and it, it had a grave marker.
[00:28:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah.
[00:28:03] Rich Chelson:
Wow. Okay.
[00:28:05] Bryan Goodwin:
It says amputated arm. Something.
[00:28:09] Duuude-Ron :
Amputated arm. Amputated arm.
[00:28:12] Rich Chelson:
Oh my gosh.
[00:28:15] Bryan Goodwin:
So Yeah. It's and it's, I mean, it's fun. It's, you walk around in Pottsville Cemetery. I mean, we've got, you've got the, you kinda see where the, where the the the Spanish flu hit because there's a whole bunch of children's deaths there. One family, I mean, just heartbroken, every time you get around to look at it because it's like little baby, little baby, little baby, little baby, little baby, little baby, little baby, all from the same family. It's just chimney. So and then there's a lot of deaths, like, in 18 in the 1800, somewhere. And it was just it's fascinating to look at those and go try to figure out. It's like, alright. So what was happening back in, you know, 1864 or whatever it is?
Because, you know, there's a lot of people who died right then. And now, yeah, I've not ever found out what what the actual cause of it was, but like that. Right. The 19, the 1918, or 9, yeah, 1918 Spanish flu epidemic that hit. That was you got a got quite a few of those. So but, anyhow, anyhow, side sidetracked. So, anyhow, took rain over there, and we're I was had a couple of the of her fetch balls, and I'd toss a I could sling them out there real get a little ways. She'd go run out after it, and she would grab the grab the ball. And she'd come running back, and then I'd have to chase her around to try to get the ball back from her instead of and this is a good time. It's a great time. And then I threw it and she ran.
She picked the ball up. She stopped, dropped the ball, and shifted into 5th gear and started heading towards the gate. I was like, how son of a bitch. And so and she'd sit past me before I have a chance to grab her. And I'm my fat ass start trying to jog after her. Go, hey. Come on. Come you know, I was hauling out a deaf dog, which does no good. And this dog gets up to the, the cattle guard, slings herself across it, hit, you know, just jumps across it like lands and makes hangs hooks left, right hand turn and just zips down the road. I'm like, oh, shit. Now she's really loose. And we had some dogs over on the side that didn't look like they were too happy to be seeing seeing an extra dog running around and, and stuff. And I was like, oh, crap. So I go I run. And by the time I get to the, get to the cattle guard and look around the corner, I see her going around the edge of the, of the road heading towards the, head towards back towards the house. Oh, son of a bitch. So I was like, stop. I tried calling my wife. No answer. I called motherfucker. Goddamn it. Call again.
Nothing. I was like, some and I call her again. It's finally, she's like, what do you will need? I was like, reins loose. Get the car. Get up here to the cemetery. Like, well, where's the like, you know where the cemetery is. Just stop panicking, breathe. You know how to get to the cemetery. It's right in front it's the road right in front of you. She's like, alright. Alright. So she's like, I'll I'll get up there. And then about 5 minutes later, she calls back, goes, oh, I got her. She's here. She ran ran a mile and a half in, like, 7 minutes. I mean, Jeff. Why?
Well, hey. At least at least she knew where to go. Yeah. She knew where to go, but damn it. Just the fact that, one, she's deaf, so she doesn't know she's in a blind panic. She's deaf. And so if she was to cross the highway at the wrong damn time, she would've we would've had a really, really large greasy spot on the road, and I would not have liked that. Well, no. No. That
[00:31:52] Rich Chelson:
that would not have been a a good thing.
[00:31:56] Bryan Goodwin:
So but but, I mean, no. It's just things like that. It's just need to definitely need to, to get a get her under control. And if I would love to go off and have Cesar Millan show me what to do. But sadly, he is $65100 for a lesson. Really? Yeah. It's like and that's a group lesson.
[00:32:21] Rich Chelson:
Oh, wow.
[00:32:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. It's like oh, and that's part 1. But Do you have another $65100 that you gotta pay for the, for the next lesson? So
[00:32:32] Rich Chelson:
Wow. Yeah. So you know Yeah. No.
[00:32:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. No. No. You know, and I've I've I've never watched his show. I love his show. Commercials of it. But now knowing that it's $6,500 for one lesson, it nobody's worth that in in Ron's opinion.
[00:32:57] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. No. I I think he's worth that. I because I I mean, just from what he and that's the that credits the the power of of media. Alright? Because he's shown time and time and time again that he knows how to essentially speak a dog's language, how to show people that how to speak that dog's language. So that dog's language is not hard. It's actually calm and assertive. Yeah. When we wig out, we get ourselves all all wound up, we lose that ability to be the leader.
[00:33:38] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[00:33:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You're right. To stay calm. You have to stay even. And, yeah, when it's time to correct, you don't you don't just, oh my god. You got you. You start whapping on the dog. You you you know, you're you do it a very firm, very intentional correction on what it is. You need to know what your what your, intention is and work to that intention. Mhmm. So if I want a dog to be calm, I have to first show them what calm is
[00:34:12] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[00:34:13] Bryan Goodwin:
And not respond to the to the the very overly excited brain of of Watson, to the overly excited brain of Rayne. It is ignoring them until they calm down. Right. That that's kind of a tough one. Like I said, they because Watson's got freaking Wolverine claws that he likes to poke into you everywhere. And so it's, you know, eventually, it it that's that's my that's where I I struggle the most if there's any any type of struggle. Because I, yeah, I can walk in. I can ignore him. I don't look at him. Right. But eventually, he gets he he wins because he again, I'm tempted to just I'm I'm almost tempted to, you know, tape his feet up. Well, see
[00:35:07] Rich Chelson:
see, the thing is okay. I I mean, I don't I don't have a dog, but, you know, I've you know, I got family members that have dogs and, you know, I've seen dogs all over the place. And, like, you know, when I'd go to a friend's house, it has well, like, okay. When I'd go to Arkansas Right. I've got Trooper and Tater. When I walk in, those dogs get all excited and jumping up and down, you know, and all like that. The first thing I do before I even say hi to anybody is I pet them dogs. I pet them and, you know, stuff like this. And then
[00:35:44] Bryan Goodwin:
they're like, okay. I'm good. And then they'll go back and forth. That's actually your feeding into that bad behavior. If they're jumping up and down and and and, and being unruly in some way, being a rude dog in in whatever way you deemed it to be rude. If you if you look at them, if you push them away, if you touch them in some way, if you talk to them in some way, those are the 3 things that they receive as being as being good, reinforcements. Now if you were to correct them and you actually do kind of a bump on the on their shoulder or on their neck, then that's a a type of correction.
But again, you still have to stay calm when you're doing that correction.
[00:36:42] Rich Chelson:
Right. But no. No. What I'm saying is is like, you know, when I walk in the house, they're excited to see me. So so instead of ignoring them, I acknowledge them, you know, and take just a few seconds, and then they go back and lay down. And then, you know, I can say hi to everybody else and all like that. Right. You know? And that's that's normally how it goes. Right. You know? So
[00:37:09] Bryan Goodwin:
And that yeah. Yeah. And and no. And I and I I understand. But, again, like, what Caesar would do is he would actually say, when the dogs actually sit down and go into a relaxed state, that's when you give them the love it. That's when you say, good job. Hey. Good. How you doing? And you don't get do it in a way to get them re excited. Okay. Yeah. But you you go to them and you're like and you give them the pets, the lemons, you know, a treat or whatever it is you wanna give them as a good job attaboy type of thing. The moment and you wanna try to catch it as soon as they as soon as they hit it. So as soon as you see, like, if Watson if I was to ignore Watson and and to do everything that's supposed to be done, or what I deep what I believe is supposed to be done, in moment, Watson was to relax, he would sit down and and be calm, that's when I would, you know, start to start to to to pat his head, give him a give him a, a a treat and and and love on it. Mhmm.
And then, you know, again, same thing for for Rain. Rain's easy to calm down. Right? The moment I sit down on the couch, she's like, okay. You're here. You're sitting down. We're good. Alright. Then she proceeds to lay on. So It's like, here, I've got my pillow now. It's not My pillow my pillow's home now. Yes. This is good. This is very good. Alright. Now all is right in the world.
[00:38:38] Rich Chelson:
So That is fun. Yeah.
[00:38:40] Bryan Goodwin:
And in the like, the way she acted in in, in Amarillo this last weekend. And and I came to the conclusion and the, they, noticed that, yeah, I've gotta go ahead just I've gotta be the one who trains her because one, she doesn't wig out with Jana. She doesn't wig out with anybody else. She they just both of them just wig out whenever I get I at all. I guess I'm just the one who is the ball of energy that feeds them the the energy that they think they need to have, and so they're they're matching whatever energy I show up or at least that's the assumption that I have come up with. Right. And so yeah. I'm what do they say to you?
[00:39:24] Duuude-Ron :
Have. Connect. And within that aspect, with you being gone as long as you're gone for, you know, 5 days a week Yeah. You know, they only get 2 days. So, yeah, they're gonna try and cram every bit of 7 days into 2 days because you're gone. And I know that is, you you know, just like in a military families and being gone, You know, they all kids, pets, whatever. Right. Especially when somebody gets deployed. You know, like I was with a quick reactionary force with the 82nd. And, you know, for 3 months out of the year, you're in the field Monday through Friday.
Come back on the weekends. Monday, you're back out in the field. You know, you do that for 2 months. Right. You know, it yeah. They they are excited to see you, the family members, because they're always there, you know, are accustomed to them always being there.
[00:40:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[00:40:36] Duuude-Ron :
So, yeah. It's, you know, their anxiety level, because you're gone and then you're there, then you're gone, then you're there. You know, it just upsets their apple cart.
[00:40:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[00:40:50] Duuude-Ron :
And, you know, how do you overcome that? You know? And with you trying to be in the primary disciplinary in 2 days a week, you know, now they're gonna get possibly confused because they get to do things one way when you're not there, and then things change. And then, you know, it's just a back and forth thing.
[00:41:16] Bryan Goodwin:
So yeah. Well, and, yeah, of course, at the same time, Jane is the meaner one, Darren. She she's, she, she has a lot more I don't know if I'd say pull, but anyhow, she's got she's got her own you know, she's got her her ways of doing it like you were saying. So Oh, yeah. And
[00:41:35] Rich Chelson:
And it seems to work?
[00:41:37] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, she they still they still get all wound up and stuff, but, like, what if she goes out, leaves the house for for to go to the group grab groceries or whatever and comes back, they they're wound up, but and and stuff, but they're I don't see them going as Gonzo as as they do whenever I whenever I show up. And like I said, I think 90% of that is just because I do feed into it. Right. How I'm not a 100% sure as of yet, but I'm I'm examining that and trying to figure out exactly what's causing that, causing me to to to actually feed their bad behavior.
[00:42:21] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, maybe, maybe it could just be your your overall, personality or your, you know, overall thought process when you're coming home, you know,
[00:42:33] Bryan Goodwin:
And very well could be, but, and again, because dogs are pretty tough kids. Feeding into that, feeding the the bad behavior and start rewarding the proper behavior.
[00:42:48] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Because, well, you see, I I mean, when I go see my great nieces and nephews, you know, when I walk in the house, they're all, like, jumping up and down and running up and, you know, hugging me and stuff like this. You know? Right. I ain't gonna make them stop and sit down and then, you know, you know, and then walk up and, you know, nah.
[00:43:12] Bryan Goodwin:
No. But at the same time, you're, you know, the kids aren't going to go off and start start, you know, start shiving each other because, you know, one got in the way of the other one. So You ain't saying MJ and and and Frank and Brisey go at it sometimes. Oh my God.
[00:43:32] Rich Chelson:
It's funny because I remember one time I walked in the front door and, MJ come, Breezy was hugging me. And I mean, no sooner. I mean, I was still I was still hugging Breezy and MJ comes running up a little shit. And he was about, just under my waist high. And he comes running right into me and throws his arms around my leg. I'm like, oh my God. It's like I couldn't move, you know? He's like, I'm home. You know? And, I mean, it was funny, but
[00:44:04] Bryan Goodwin:
I ain't gonna stop him from doing that. Hell no. Oh, no. No. No. And I wouldn't stop. I'm not gonna stop Aspen when she's gets around to running and and if she's that excited to see see me and and and Jay and I, I'm not gonna stop that either. I'm not gonna I I I you know? Yeah. No. I know that. At the same time, we expect our dogs to behave in a way Because right now, our kids, essentially, they begrudgingly allow our dogs into the house.
[00:44:30] Rich Chelson:
Okay. What's why why don't they like
[00:44:33] Bryan Goodwin:
the dogs? Because they're so big and they are they they get to be in they get to be rambunctious because we'll leave them at the house. They'll get put out in the backyard with the other dogs for a little while. And then whenever we come back, they bring all the dogs in. All of a sudden, here's all the dogs and and Okay. Now Boone, he's Boone's a great dog. He's he gets excited. He wants to say hi to everybody and and all that. And but, yeah, at the same time, here comes Watson and he he shoves, Boone out of the way. And and and Boone's like, oh, okay. Well, I'll go ahead and come back over here. And so they get to they get to, kinda doing a shoving match, but it's nothing any big. But then what's it starts Watson has a fascination with faces. I don't know what the fascination with faces are, but, it it irritates Boone to the to no end. So Watson's just sitting there doing Watson's stuff of getting into Boone's face after a bit and Watson and and Boone gets tired of it. So he starts making all sorts of noises and stuff to try to tell him to, hey, back off, asshat. I'm getting tired of you being in my fucking face. Right. And then then they've got also got another dog named, Koda, and he's just he's a he's a katahua, cur. And so he's just kind of he he's just kind of this dopey dog that just he he he kinda he he just kinda lopes around a little bit here and there. And, I mean, at times, if he's, you know, if the dog's not the right at the right energy level, then Koda just kinda lets him know by by just growling at him. So you got one dog making making a whole bunch of racket and noises, then you got another one that's growling at anybody who comes close to him. That's not the not the energy that he wants. And then Rain, who is, you know, part horse. So, you know, I got a tail that's going off clearing out the coffee table and bouncing around. And, you know, it becomes a big level of chaos, and it's a level that is too much for the for the environment.
It become it the and it does. And I recognize the fact that it is too much. And the fact that when we go to Pottsville, I have to I I don't get to go actually, past couple 2 or 3 years, I haven't been able to go hang out with mom my mom because I've got the dogs.
[00:46:47] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay.
[00:46:49] Bryan Goodwin:
And she's got 2 dogs. And one of the dogs is a not it it doesn't like anybody else. It I mean, he anybody else comes around. Any other dog comes around, I'll say that. Any other dog comes around, he's going to he's he's not going he's not gonna be friendly to him and in any form, fashion, or another. Right. But yet I can't leave well, I mean, you saw rain even when she you know, when we were over it, she you leave her behind. She is going to make noise until she gets up next to me. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, that's, that is true. It gets, it gets to and so that bark, she hasn't she, her balls haven't dropped yet. Her bark is still that high piercing yip.
And so, you know, so you have to deal with that and not to mention she's smart enough. She knows how to open lever do lever doors. Oh, really? So she, you know, if it's got a lever on it, she's gonna sit there and bump on it with her nose until she gets the door open.
[00:47:53] Rich Chelson:
Wow.
[00:47:54] Bryan Goodwin:
If she, if if she had thinks she's got a chance of being able to see me, she doesn't quit. So we've gotta get her her separation anxiety under control. And to be able to be in a room calmly because if she comes into the end of the house where the other 2 where mom's other 2 dog mom's 2 dogs, not other 2 dogs, but her 2 dogs are, one, Lucy, she's typically fairly well behaved, but same time, there's she's had instances of where, you know, she's she gets tired of somebody being rude. She's gonna she's gonna be rude right back at him. And then Charlie, again, he he's he's an asshole. He doesn't like anybody. And so we have you know, it's it's a hard medium to mix together.
I usually end wind up being setting out on the, in the sunroom for the majority of the well, for about half the day. The other half of the day, I'm I've got the dogs on the leash, and I'm walk either walking them all over Pottsville, or we go over to my aunt's house Right. Who's got, you know, about 3 acres of land, that, that is all fenced off. And so we just I take them over there, make sure all the gates are closed, and just let them run themselves stupid for a while. Oh, hell yeah. And, I mean, that usually takes about 3 hours before they start kind of start trying to find ways of getting themselves in trouble. So which usually involves my my aunt Diane's, flower beds and and stuff. So so once they stop stop wrestling so much, it's okay. Let's throw on the throw on the leashes again, and let's at least keep walking.
So it's it's me being out and about, which I mean, Pottsville, that's what I always do. I've always been the, let's not stay at home. We're in Potts ville. Let's walk the countryside. Let's see. Can we cover a 100 miles in the next 2 hours? Type of type of, mentality. So I mean Right. And we and I do. I've walked from I've I've walked, you know, 30 miles in a day before. Oh my god. And, well, I didn't walk all 30 miles. I actually did end up having a farmer come along, pick me up, and and and, and hold up. And take me over to, so but anyhow so yeah. There I've got a lot of freaking work I have to do with the dogs. So and that's just because I haven't been a responsible dog owner.
I have not taught them manners or or how to behave. And the only thing I know is to wear them out whenever I we go to Pottsville, which means I am out and about in in Pottsville for for, for the majority of the day.
[00:50:46] Rich Chelson:
Wow. You know? And and yeah. I I mean, yeah, that's cool. And I know I know you like to walk and do all that sort of stuff. But at the same time, I would be like, I came here to relax too
[00:51:01] Bryan Goodwin:
and visit, you know? That is relaxing in Pottsville, sadly, at least for me. So, anyhow so, yeah, that's that's that's what we've all been up to at the moment. So what do y'all wanna talk about? Now that we've talked probably about half the half the, the show about, about random stuff in our lives. So Well, yeah. No.
[00:51:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. About half the show. Yeah. Because, oh, hang on. Hang on. What was that? I hang on. No. I was up here somewhere. It was another, another article I read, and, now maybe no. It wasn't that one. Shoot. I gotta find it. Excuse me. Because they here. Let me look on here because I saw it, and I I looked at it. And I excuse me. I was like, oh, hell no. And, I mean, I got wound up.
[00:52:01] Duuude-Ron :
What'd you get wound up on?
[00:52:04] Rich Chelson:
Well, hang on. I'm trying to get it up. Oh, I did. I did actually get to go crabbing, for blue crabs, and I tell you what. I'm freaking paying for it.
[00:52:19] Bryan Goodwin:
So you got any of those crabs back after you, after y'all got finished?
[00:52:25] Rich Chelson:
No. I haven't seen mister Keith today. I I I hope he didn't, hurt himself or nothing because he had just had a double hernia surgery about a month ago. And, his doc told him to take it easy and not to crab.
[00:52:46] Bryan Goodwin:
And, So 2 weeks later, he's out crabbing?
[00:52:49] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, when when I saw him the other day, I asked him. I said, is this the first time you've been out crabbing? He says, no, the second. Come on, mister Keith. And and this guy's like 70 years old. Okay? Oh, yeah. You can't stop 70 year old man. And and I mean I mean, nice I mean, nice nice guy. Knows no stranger at all. And, but, yeah, he had set out some traps and well, when it I was I was at this park just minding my own business. I look over, I see his car there and I'm like, oh, wow. So I went over and talked to him. And, I'd saw him throw some traps out and everything, and so I went up was, asking him about them. And, he threw 5 traps out, and he just checked 1. I mean, as soon as he threw the 5 out, he went back to that first one, pulled it in to check it. He had 3 crabs in it.
And I'm talking across their bodies on the point to point, it was like it was like at least this wide. I mean, they were good size at about this tall, about this tall and everything. And, yeah, those are those are keepers. It has to be 5 inches wide or or wider. Minimum of 5 inches. If it's smaller than 5 inches, you gotta do them back. But, and I also found out if if you pull a crab up and, and and the underneath is brown Uh-huh. And see instead of white, it's like a brownish white. That means they haven't shed for quite a while and Yeah. I found out that, they have a lot more meat on
[00:54:40] Duuude-Ron :
them. Well, if they haven't if they haven't shed.
[00:54:44] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I figured I figured you it was the ones that have shed. The crust the you'd want the soft shell crabs.
[00:54:51] Rich Chelson:
Well, these are blue crabs.
[00:54:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. But, I mean, the but all crabs, well, even lobster, I mean, most crustaceans that shed their their exoskeleton Mhmm. For a little while, their their their exoskeleton is very soft and Oh, yeah. Yeah. And stuff. So and that was I always heard that was actually the better, the better ones to get was, were the ones if you could get them when they're, as close to their their
[00:55:21] Rich Chelson:
dumb shedding as possible, that was excellent. That was all that always hurt. Right. Best of luck. It's very yeah. Very well might be true. I don't know. Because like I said, I had never seen, a blue crab up close. It had never, you know, and so he did that. And then, I walked with him back to his car, and he he got, like, 6 more traps. And, you know, and I'm like I'm sitting here thinking. It's like, dude, you're gonna worry yourself out. And he had a bucket to carry the crabs, so so I helped him. I jumped in and started helping him. And, it was actually pretty cool, you know, getting pull them in and throw them back out. And, like, the crabs, I mean, I didn't touch them or nothing because they were pissed.
But but I did learn I did. I did learn how to pick up a crab because on the, on the blue crab, there's like 2, like tail feathers.
[00:56:23] Bryan Goodwin:
They're not feathers. They're shit. Yeah. Yeah. They're but they're fins. It's what they used to.
[00:56:28] Rich Chelson:
But, the thing is, you reach behind them and grab them right there Uh-huh. They they can't get you
[00:56:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Anywhere else? It was kinda like kinda like making sure you grab the right part of, right part of the shell on a snap. Or Yes, sir. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
[00:56:44] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. And so but, but, yeah. And like the traps, you know, if there's crabs in the traps, I would just hit the bucket right there. I'd flip the net over and oh yeah, some of them crabs, it was, dude, it was piss. It was like, oh, I'm hanging on motherfucker. I'm hanging on. You know, and their their claws, you know, like this, you know, they got, you know, fucking big old meat hooks on the side here. You know, they got guns right there. And they're like, I'm hanging on here. You know? And it's like, yeah, no, yeah, you do. Just smack it a couple of times and drop in the bucket.
So, yeah. And on one run out of 11 traps, we pulled in, 31, 32 crabs.
[00:57:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Nice.
[00:57:31] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Oh, but we lost the dude. Lost the dude.
[00:57:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Let's see if we can get him to come back in.
[00:57:39] Rich Chelson:
His phone is, acting up a little early tonight.
[00:57:44] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. It is.
[00:57:45] Rich Chelson:
So yeah. And and check this out. Check this out. Believe it or not, in the time in the time I helped mister Keith, we caught 49 crab. There he is. And dude is back. Yeah. Maybe.
[00:58:03] Bryan Goodwin:
He's trying. Dude.
[00:58:06] Rich Chelson:
Okay. But, yeah, we've got Dude, dude.
[00:58:11] Duuude-Ron :
Here. Dude. Dude. Dude.
[00:58:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh man. Hey. Hey.
[00:58:18] Rich Chelson:
You're gonna have to listen to that because when, when Iran said dude, I pushed a sound pad. Uh-huh. It was like stereo.
[00:58:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[00:58:30] Rich Chelson:
It, I mean, it sounded, yeah, it was like, that was cool. I was like, that's cool shit.
[00:58:35] Bryan Goodwin:
But,
[00:58:36] Rich Chelson:
but no, seriously, 49 crab in, and I I was just like and come to find out in Mississippi, you don't need a fishing license to go grab it. For crabs. Nope. For fur. For crabbing. You don't need one. And, chicken legs. That leg quarters. Oh, crabs love the hell out of some chicken now.
[00:59:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Mhmm. I just thought that. So what was you what was the other thing you thought of that you wanted to talk about?
[00:59:11] Rich Chelson:
I scrolled off on the crabs too.
[00:59:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Were you talking were you wanting to talk about that? Was it the map of this? Squirrel.
[00:59:19] Rich Chelson:
You know? No. Probably not. Maybe not maybe not this time. Maybe next week. Give me give me a little more time to get, To contemplate the Get my thoughts in there. Yeah. Because because I I just I just I had been I had read it and I got wound up and I didn't.
[00:59:40] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Oh man. Yeah.
[00:59:42] Rich Chelson:
I know. Right. But, yeah. And I was sitting there thinking. It's like, no. Let me let me get my thoughts lined out a little more. Because if I don't, then then I'd be all over the place and Right. Someone would be listening and be like, what the hell is he talking about? I mean, they freaking probably do that now as it is, but, you know Oh, yeah. I'll say
[01:00:06] Duuude-Ron :
I wanna say they're they're they're listening to the podcast. They're like, where are these guys taking this to? Well, hell. We don't even know where the hell it couldn't go to until it's done. We don't. Yeah. Right. Until it goes done.
[01:00:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Alright. Well, we do know last weekend, they had the, the gal the Met Gala. And What's that? The Met Gala is from what I understand, it's supposed to be a big fundraiser for the for the Metropolitan The Met, which is,
[01:00:41] Rich Chelson:
the Yeah. Concert. Metropolitan Museum of Art.
[01:00:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. And so what they do is they have this big gala, this big fundraiser, and all these celebrities, well known celebrities all get together, and they usually will do dress up. They'll have a theme. And I forget what this is. Some type of garden, some garden, and it was they always have some type of theme. And so everybody gets together, supposed to do this theme, except for the fact that a lot of folks these days, a lot of the women, they show up and they have just their they'll either a, do it real classy. They'll be dressed to the nines in, some type of, very, you know, high high high fashion, dress.
Mhmm. While others show up and are in just a just a fashion disaster. And I'm not a fashion critic, but they're to me, I'm I see them. I'm going. There were several of them that showed up this year. Basically, they were they were just about 3 threads away from being completely naked. Oh, wow. And Okay. But but the thing that I noticed on here because you have, like, Lauren Sanchez, which is Jeff Bezos's, girlfriend. I'm gonna call her girlfriend. Maybe fiance. So I I don't think they're married. Okay. And I've seen her back before the Met of this year.
And everything that I saw, of the pictures of a lot of the women, it just cements my theory that feminism is out to make as much beauty out there ugly. Make it as ugly as possible. You've got, like, Madonna. Seen pictures of Madonna that she's what she's done to her face. She went from I mean, Graham, she wasn't the hottest looking chick in the world, but she was okay. Look. She was pleasant to the eyes. Yeah. She was easy on the And she now looks like a fucking alien.
[01:02:44] Rich Chelson:
I believe that.
[01:02:47] Bryan Goodwin:
But and, but Lauren Sanchez got this just horrible face on her that on herself now. She has gotten so much plastic surgery that she doesn't look beautiful.
[01:03:02] Rich Chelson:
Right. Okay. Okay. Let me ask you something then, though. I mean I mean, what what about this is is, has you worked up?
[01:03:14] Bryan Goodwin:
The fact that they are so against beauty. No. Okay. It feminism is equal opportunity for ugly women. That's one reason why they're tr the, the feminists are working so hard to get men into women's sports into men to to act like women. Because if there's anything that makes makes for an ugly woman, it's a dude. Not this, but a dude. Yeah. Not not not Not the dude. Not
[01:03:48] Duuude-Ron :
the dude. But but dude's in general. Yeah. But, you know, this dude is not going to do dude drag. No thank you. Sir. Whatsoever. And, yeah, this dude is probably, he's got a face for radio. That's why you don't see it. And but you know, yeah, it's it people that wanna have so much plastic surgery to stay young, knowing that that is not going to happen. Everybody gets old, and it just comes back around and it backfires because they have done so many alterations and liposuction and then both.
[01:04:43] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And that's I mean, you look at Yeah. It did. There's actually, article. If you if you do searches for it, there's actually articles out there talking about how Gen Z is aging like milk. They are, you know, mid twenties to early thirties right now. And they look like they're 45, 50 years old. And a lot of that is also because the 45, 50 year old women are getting the exact same surgeries. So there's no delineation between ages and so people are just going, okay. Well, she's she's probably about 35 years old and come to find out, she's only 22.
[01:05:24] Duuude-Ron :
But Wow.
[01:05:25] Bryan Goodwin:
What I'm but the thing is that I'm really getting at I mean, you look at, well, Goldie Hahn. Goldie Hahn does not look like Goldie Hahn anymore.
[01:05:35] Rich Chelson:
Really? I haven't No. No. No. She is. I am. She do not recognize
[01:05:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Goldie Hahn until she talks.
[01:05:42] Rich Chelson:
Oh my gosh.
[01:05:44] Bryan Goodwin:
But the the biggest crimes against humanity from, the Met Gala was my my ultimate, celebrity crush. Nicole Kidman. I don't know what they did to her, but it's like they took the took her hair and cranked it all the way back to the back of her head. She's got like a 16 head. It's not even an 8 head. It's a freak it's a full size 16 head. This sadly, the most beautiful woman that was that was in, in Hollywood is a freaking disaster nowadays.
[01:06:21] Rich Chelson:
That's crazy.
[01:06:22] Bryan Goodwin:
And it's it I I almost wanted to cry whenever I saw a picture of her there. I was like, oh, no. You was I'm Nicole Kidman. I mean, come on. The greatest I mean, Eyes Wide Shut was a weird show, but at least you got to go off and see her fully naked for a brief second. That was, you know, that was the height of my my young my young wife. It's like, yes. I got her boobs and her cooter at the same time. It's amazing.
[01:06:47] Rich Chelson:
You know? Hey. That's that's a feat. Okay?
[01:06:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly. And no, that that wasn't feet. That was that was not not a foot at at all. But but at the same time, it was but, you know, it was for at the same time, she was she's always been just that, you know, that va va boom, hubba hubba type of type lady anytime you saw her. You know? What was that one? Far and Away that she did with, Yeah. I love that movie with her. With, with, with Tom Cruise before they decided to do their amicable split, and Tom went off the deep end. Right. I mean, she was a great show. I mean, she's getting anytime you saw her, it was like, she she didn't age.
Right. Right. And then all of a sudden, she's like, oh, well, I guess I'm aging. I better go on ahead and make myself as ugly as possible because society wants me ugly now. It's like, no. You don't need to have pronounced cheekbones and and have what whatever the fuck they did to their to her forehead. I don't know if they just ballooned it out or what. But, I mean, she's got this gigantic forehead all of a sudden.
[01:07:55] Rich Chelson:
And it's just Saying saying that's like it's like it's like why you see, this is what I don't get is why is why people do this. And then, of course, the people that follow these people, the fans and all of this, and I will say this. Thank God you have not fallen the the way of Nicole Kidman.
[01:08:19] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. I mean, I I would make one I would I would make the ugliest of the young dudes. So I would Right. Right. But but now I've embraced the fact that I I I I and if you did not ever see my beard, I whenever I was I did never, grow my beard out for the longest time. And whenever I finally sat, I was like, yo, I really the way I wanted my beard to grow out was I wanted to all be black with a white stripe down the middle. I wanted a white skunk stripe. Right. And God says, I hear you, but, no, we're gonna do it my way. And so he flipped it. So I've got white beard, and I've got a black stripe down the middle of my beard. So, you know, I'm a reverse skunk.
So but it's but, you know, I I understand. I would make a very, you know, a very ugly dude. Right. Right. But but no. No. What I'm saying is is I may because I do make a very ugly dude. So No. What I'm saying is what I said. I was like, oh, yeah. You know, it is in the bathroom. Oh, shit. I have one. And
[01:09:22] Rich Chelson:
these people it is is these people think they have to follow these freaking celebrities? And it's like and and no. I mean, so so actually, I agree with you on that because, you know, with, you know, things are beautiful. People, I mean, objects, people are beautiful the way they are. Don't change it, You know?
[01:09:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Like like Learn to be happy with yourself. Yeah. Well, look at her all. Look at me. You know, I got more wrinkles. I got wrinkles on top of wrinkles. You know? Okay. I'm 55 years old. I've hurt those wrinkles. Yeah. Right. You think I'm gonna worry about getting beautified and getting rid of the wrinkles? Hell, I've earned these.
[01:10:14] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Right. And that's I mean, that and that's the thing that I I I understand. We each sex has their own sin. Men, our sin, is is lust. We see a beautiful woman. We're gonna lust after her. We fall we fall prey to that to that particular sin. For women though, the biggest sin they have is comparison I have to look as good if not better than that other woman And that's the biggest problem because no, you don't need to look better. Allow yourself to just age. A lot of it A lot of them have sadly succumb to the the marketing that that cosmetic companies have put out. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's one reason why you can't 12 year old, 11, 10 year olds aren't allowed into Sephora anymore because they, 1, they think they that's what they have to buy is Sephora makeup.
And they go in and they do all the testers and they leave the place in a complete and absolute disaster.
[01:11:18] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[01:11:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Because they go in there looking like fresh face of 11 and 12 year olds, and they come out with, you know, more makeup than than a, than the, than a hooker on Martin Luther King, Boulevard.
[01:11:33] Rich Chelson:
Well, well, what was funny is, Breezy video chatted me. This was probably a year ago, year and a half ago. And, or Britt Britt video chatted. One of them did. And Breezy jumped on there, and she was wearing lipstick and and something on her eyes. I'm like, excuse me. Who the hell is this? And she's like, honkam, it's me. I'm like, what? Why the hell you got makeup? And and ever since then, in fact, just probably about 3 or 4 weeks ago, I was talking to Breezy and she said something about makeup. I'm like, no, honey. You don't need makeup. You you you are naturally beautiful, you know? And so,
[01:12:22] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean You can wear makeup when you are comfortable enough that you don't you know, you don't have to wear makeup. Right. And you're okay with not wearing makeup. Then, okay. If you wanna put some makeup on, I take situate the the great parts of you. Okay. Yeah. Then let's go do that.
[01:12:41] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I mean, no. No. I no. I don't do makeup, so
[01:12:46] Bryan Goodwin:
God don't ever have to worry about me. But makeup is supposed to be like Brillo cream. A little dab will do you.
[01:12:53] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. But yeah, no, I just, cause yeah. Cause you see, that's the thing. There, there are, there are, so many women out here and I mean men too, you know, and all like this. They, they don't need all these Beauty 8. They don't need all these moisturizers or scrubs or or, you know, or whatever.
[01:13:19] Bryan Goodwin:
You know, they just That's that's the reason why women got so mad at men because we didn't use all that crap. Right. We used bar soap on our face, on our butts, and then our hair. And it all came out smelling just fine.
[01:13:35] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:13:37] Bryan Goodwin:
And that irritated the crap out of women because they had to go off. They had to do their more they use their face soap and then their body soap and then special hair shampoo, and then the conditioner for the hair shampoo. And then after that, we got out, you dried yourself, yet put on the moisturizer, which you were just in the shower. So why why do you need a moisturizer? And then the lotion. Moisturizer and then the this and that and the scrub and the exfoliator and all this. And by the time yeah. No wonder your face looks like you're 70. You've done taken 14 years off of it. So, you know yeah. It's got a oh, it's got a overcompensate for the amount of damage that you've done trying to make yourself look younger.
[01:14:18] Rich Chelson:
And and and that's the thing. All that takes an hour and a half, 2 hours.
[01:14:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. That's like guys, man. Shit. 5 minutes, we can be ready. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. We we use just use bar soap, and we're good.
[01:14:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. 5 minutes from waking up.
[01:14:34] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:14:35] Duuude-Ron :
Wake up, 5 minutes, ready to go out the door. Some females, 2 hours. That's after the previous 2 hours of deciding what to do for the 2 hours to get ready. You know, me, I can wake up, throw on a pair of shorts, throw on a t shirt, get the Crocs on, and out the door.
[01:15:02] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I see. I I see. I can get I can get the shorts on, the shirt on, but sorry. I'm not about to I am not about to do the the the ugly shoes. So
[01:15:11] Rich Chelson:
The Crocs. Yeah. No.
[01:15:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Crocs? You do realize Crocs are an idiocracy. Right?
[01:15:18] Duuude-Ron :
But you know what? They are the ultimate wheeling shoes for a Jeep.
[01:15:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna plead my ignorance on that one because one, I don't have a Jeep. 2, I don't I don't have plastic shoes. So
[01:15:34] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I tell you what. My rubber slash plastic slash Crocs are comfortable.
[01:15:43] Bryan Goodwin:
And I don't see how that is because it looks like I would be I I would walk, and every time I walked, I'd get a farting sound from all the sweat pulling in the bottom.
[01:15:54] Duuude-Ron :
And just I'm being I have worn holes into the bottoms of crock.
[01:16:00] Bryan Goodwin:
That's possible. Well, yeah. I mean, they are marshmallows, so, yeah. I guess it does make sense. Yeah. But I You know what? But they are 7 inches thick, so that's it's still kind of, kinda astounds me that you could do that.
[01:16:13] Duuude-Ron :
I I love my Crocs.
[01:16:16] Rich Chelson:
Well, you see the thing is with me and Crocs, I would just, I would just feel like I've got, like, I I don't know, boat shoes or something. Just some some god awful glob that I'd feel like I was had them fins, you know, if I was gonna go swimming.
[01:16:34] Bryan Goodwin:
I feel like I would need to go start yodeling or something. Look like clogs. Get some them wood shoes from Holland.
[01:16:44] Duuude-Ron :
That's right. And you know what?
[01:16:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Clogs over in Holland are
[01:16:52] Duuude-Ron :
Incredibly comfortable from what everybody says. Well, yeah. That and they're rated for steel mill, steel toed shoes. Well, but they're not bull toed. They're wood toed. You're you're right. But they are they are deemed safety shoes.
[01:17:13] Rich Chelson:
What kind of wood are they made of?
[01:17:17] Duuude-Ron :
Ironwood. No. There's a lot of the a lot of those are I can't remember the name of the wood, but it is a very, very, very hard wood that they make those out of.
[01:17:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Speaking of Ironwood, I was looking around to see what, you know because we've always I've heard Ironwood mentioned many times, mostly through, through Stephen King's, Dark Tower series. Because Mhmm. Roland Dashain, the, the the gunslinger, the pistols that he had had ironwood grips. I was like, what the hell is that? Apparently, mesquite is a type of ironwood. Did you know that? No. I no. That I had no idea either until about a month ago, and I was just kinda looking at us. I finally somebody mentioned Ironwood, and I was like, what the hell is Ironwood anyhow? And went to look it through, and I was like, mesquite?
Well, so? Not what I thought it was, but it's a it's a type of very extra very dense wood. And it's Well, yeah, I could see that. But so I could yeah. I could see that too, but I didn't realize that mesquite was considered ironwood. No. No. I didn't either.
[01:18:35] Rich Chelson:
So so if the wood is extra dense, that's that's that's considered ironwood.
[01:18:41] Bryan Goodwin:
That's a a type of ironwood. Yeah. Okay. Or something to that effect. Yeah. Okay. No. I I
[01:18:47] Rich Chelson:
I had no idea because, I mean, I mean, freaking mosquito's great for smoking meat. Oh, yeah. It's great for smoking.
[01:18:55] Bryan Goodwin:
And I mean, granted, if you grab you can find one that's straight enough that you can turn into into a club. I always heard those were some of the best head knockers you can ever come across, but so Really? Mhmm. Yeah. Okay. So that makes sense. I mean, if they if it is actually considered Ironwood. So
[01:19:12] Duuude-Ron :
So going so going back to Crocs, if you've never owned a pair of Croc, you don't know what you're missing. Well I think they are a comfortable hue.
[01:19:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Yes. But also at one time, young women, young girls wanted to wear shoes that were called UGGs.
[01:19:39] Rich Chelson:
Yes. UGGs were a big thing. And they were ugly.
[01:19:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. They'll come up. The sad thing was is they could have been alright, but the the but their souls I don't know if their souls were just weren't made right or what the actual problem was because none of the girls ever actually walked on the soles of the damn boot. Because the sole on the boot would eventually work off to the inside of their foot. Mhmm. And so they were actually walking on the just the side of the boot itself. Every girl I ever saw who and is when I say girl, I'm talking like, my youngest daughter, she when, she wanted to wear them, she was like in the 6th, 7th, 8th grade, somewhere along that area. Okay. And so and but all of them would go walking around, and they, every single one of the shoes, they were soles were cranked off into the, on into the inside of their foot. They were just walking on the sides of the boots, essentially.
And it was just like Well They're ugly for 1. I mean, and they were. They were uglier and sin freaking boots. Yeah. They were. And and then on top of that, their soles didn't even stay where the soles were supposed to be.
[01:20:56] Rich Chelson:
But by god, that company made a buttload of money. They made a pretty damn fortune. Yeah.
[01:21:02] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, I the only thing I wish they would bring back and I would buy a pair is if they brought actually made moon boots again. Oh
[01:21:11] Duuude-Ron :
my god. Remember that? Pair of those. Yeah. I had a pair of those.
[01:21:16] Rich Chelson:
I say, I don't I don't think I had a pair of those. You didn't have any moon boots? It No. You know, you said Poor
[01:21:23] Bryan Goodwin:
man. Oh, man. You were you were abused, weren't you? Yeah. I
[01:21:27] Duuude-Ron :
was. You know, and if you didn't you would know if you had Moon boots.
[01:21:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, hell yeah. So you know what? I don't know what the extra fluffy round boot they look like astronaut boots. They literally look like astronaut boots. No. Never had them. Yep. The only problem is is when you go to take it off, the inside liner, which is the insulation, which is essentially nothing more than than than foam.
[01:21:50] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm.
[01:21:52] Bryan Goodwin:
Would come out of your, come out on your on your foot, and it was wrapped in plastic. So it would come out. And so trying to get its stuff back into the boot was next to impossible. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Those are awesome.
[01:22:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. This is what I wish to paint legs in there? It's great. This is what I wish they would bring back. Ocean Pacific Corduroy. A corduroy short. Yep. Corduroy short.
[01:22:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, corduroy shorts and all. I've got dogs that shed. I couldn't do corduroy, man. I'd be I'd have I'd have my midsection my mid my mid crotch area would be hairier than what's be allowed. I'd be end up getting flagged for indecency.
[01:22:42] Duuude-Ron :
Man, but I tell you what, ocean pacific shorts, they were they were also comfortable. Oh, no. I get I I agree there. I had Yeah. No. They were had OP shorts and shirts and Shirts and yep.
[01:22:54] Rich Chelson:
And I had a few shirts and a and a and a and and, like, a hoodie, but that was it. I didn't have any OP shorts. But, yeah, OP is still in business too.
[01:23:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. They just they mainly do shirts. They they I don't see them doing shorts at all. Yeah. Yeah. They don't make shorts anymore. No. It's it's doll t shirts.
[01:23:16] Duuude-Ron :
That's just wrong, man. Yeah. Yeah. Because I would love to fucking have another pair of OP Shorts.
[01:23:23] Bryan Goodwin:
But one thing that has come has come back into style that I am just 8 ways inside. I've been trying to hope I get a decent enough paycheck so I can grab a few. But Hawaiian shirts have come back. Really? And they're not just a flowery Hawaiian. They've got some some, you know, unique or they've upgraded the the Hawaiian shirts so that they're got better graphics on them now. Okay. Okay, man. I'm, like, 4 And there's one that I I keep seeing on Facebook, and I just I've I I wanna get it just because of because it's, it's it's kicking chicken. It's just chicken, and he's got a he got his foot out there. He's you know, like he's kicking somebody. It's it just cracks me up every time I see a picture of this damn chicken kicking something.
So is and and I get a lot of them that are just cool colors and bright, bright colors. I mean, I've always been one for the louder the shirt, the better. No. Because I have 2 pretty Oh, hell yeah.
[01:24:20] Duuude-Ron :
And see, I could never do a Hawaiian shirt. It doesn't matter what the pattern. If it is florals, if it is hot rod cars, if it is flags,
[01:24:32] Bryan Goodwin:
I do in a Hawaiian shirt. But do you I used to have a I used to have a Hawaiian shirt that had a bunch of Swordfish on them. It was amazing.
[01:24:40] Rich Chelson:
With a pair with a pair of OP shorts, your crotch and a Hawaiian shirt. Man, you do. You'd you'd be The honey is up after you. Be having to knock the women off with a stick. I'm telling you, man.
[01:24:53] Duuude-Ron :
Well, if that's the case,
[01:24:56] Bryan Goodwin:
possibly, maybe you can shorts and and we could take your beard off. Just leave the mustache. You we'd save your magnum PI.
[01:25:04] Rich Chelson:
Dude, there you go, man.
[01:25:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Get you a fake looking Ferrari.
[01:25:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It it's called a Jeep.
[01:25:14] Bryan Goodwin:
Get a Jeep and put a little Ferrari emblem on the nose? There you go.
[01:25:18] Duuude-Ron :
You know, actually, what I wanna do is 1 of 2 emblems on my Jeep. I just haven't decided on which one I should get. And one of them for a hood ornament being the Mack dog from the Mack truck. Yeah. Or or the duck. From convoy? From convoy. Convoy. The rubber duck? The rubber duck. And he had that angry looking duck on the front of his hood. Yep. And they I've seen those on, Amazon.

Okay. Oh, they've got them here. They've actually, they've got a they've got the got them here at the
[01:26:04] Rich Chelson:
Truck stop?
[01:26:05] Bryan Goodwin:
It's truck stop here.
[01:26:07] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm. What they run at the truck stop now.
[01:26:11] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't know. I I just see them and just kinda go, I know that one and and kinda carry on. I remember I remember when,
[01:26:19] Rich Chelson:
crumbing your truck out and everything was a big thing. And and this was this was right when this was right when, show trucks was getting started.
[01:26:30] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. Okay.
[01:26:31] Rich Chelson:
And, yeah. Like those, we call them hood grabbers, but the like the angry duck, I think. Yeah. I think there was one like a 102 at the time. And, Mac Bulldog, you could get from, like, 65 to 85 depending on where you was at in the country.
[01:26:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Yeah. I don't I don't know if it's any cheaper or what. But I don't know. But I know that they're still shiny plastic is still stupid expensive.
[01:27:03] Rich Chelson:
It shouldn't be plastic. Stuff out. Should be metal. It it's it's shiny plastic.
[01:27:09] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, wow. It's not actual chromium strips or anything like that. It's Right. Very very highly polished silver plastic.
[01:27:19] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. Yeah. And I would like to actually get a metal duct because for those individuals, listening to the podcast, if you are not a cheap owner, you don't know the lifestyle of having a vehicle. Duh. Well, Jeeps, and I know everybody has probably seen it, but, jeep owners having a whole windshield of duck, you know, on their on their windshield. And I'm not a a duck fan. I don't have any ducks on my windshield, but I would put that hood ornament, that duck, on my Jeep.
[01:28:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Still like to know what the what it is about the ducks and the jeep. I don't fully understand that. Whatever it It started
[01:28:17] Rich Chelson:
is up on the east coast.
[01:28:18] Duuude-Ron :
It No. It started.
[01:28:20] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Go ahead.
[01:28:22] Duuude-Ron :
There was and I don't remember exactly the name of the town. There was a lady that, had a jeep, and she got ducks, little rubber ducks. And if she thought that you had a real cool Jeep, she put a duck on the handle the door handle, the driver's side door handle to let you know that you had a real cool Jeep, that somebody really like whatever lift or design or graphics or whatever you had on your Jeep. Right. They she thought it was really neat. And it has just grown into a a cult that if you have a Jeep, eventually, you're gonna get a duck on it. And it's just grown through and it's not all Jeeps. It is 98% of it is the Wranglers.
None of the other Jeeps, the,
[01:29:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Grand Cherokees, Laredos, or Wagoneer.
[01:29:31] Duuude-Ron :
Or none of those. It is only the rack or the, wagon not the Wagoneers, but the Wranglers. Wranglers. Is the Jeep community that does the Ducks and it is just blown out of I can't say out of proportion, but it has just become a cult association with Wrangler Jeeps, and getting a duck put on your jeep. Yeah. I mean But it started up in Canada.
[01:30:01] Rich Chelson:
But see, it makes people feel good, you know.
[01:30:06] Duuude-Ron :
You know, you know, if I get a job and see, like I said, I I don't have any ducks on the dash of my jeep. Now if I get a duck on my jeep, I will reduck. So I will take that duck from my Jeep. And if let's say it's in a Walmart parking lot, and I get a jeep or a duck in a Walmart parking lot, I will find another jeep in that Walmart parking lot and take that duck and put it on that jeep. So I reduck. Now the only ones that I don't reduck are the ones that have the mohawk. Right. I have I have 6 ducks that have mohawks. Those are the ones that I have collected. I think they're cool.
Other than the other 6 that have a lot of meaning to me on who gave them to me and how they were given. Those 6 ducks, I will have forever. Same way with the the ducks that I have or that have the Mohawk. You know? Now somebody ducks my Jeep, and that duck has a mohawk in some way, shape, or form, that goes into my collection.
[01:31:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay.
[01:31:30] Duuude-Ron :
So I yeah. I do have a very small collection of ducks, but they all got mohawks.
[01:31:39] Rich Chelson:
Well, I've got I've got I've got 2 ducks in, in in my Jeep Wrangler. And my Mohawk Duck actually, my little green alien looks like he's screwing my Mohawk Duck because I've got him sitting right behind the duck. Yeah. Laying into one side while the duck actually looks like it's leaning or facing towards the right just a little bit with its beak open and the alien's looking off to the left side. And I had just sat him there and actually had forgotten all about it. And when you look at it from the front, though, it yeah. It looks like looks like the duck is like, oh my god. Oh my god. You know?
So but that's all I have because since I've been down here, I've I've only gotten one duck. And that was that was my Mohawk duck.
[01:32:38] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And I've only And there's one and there's one there's one guy in one of the clubs around here. I mean, he has a milk crate in the back of his duck or in the back of his Jeep that is full of duck. A milk crate full of duck. And he has, on his Jeep, he has 3 rows of ducks on his dash.
[01:33:08] Rich Chelson:
That makes him happy.
[01:33:10] Duuude-Ron :
That may you you know what? If that makes him happier than happier than happy, more power to you. You have as many ducks and a dash of your Jeep as you want to. Right. Right. I'm gonna have 0.
[01:33:29] Bryan Goodwin:
So one of something else I wanna jump into.
[01:33:33] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:33:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Is, we all know that the the, the young skulls full of mush that think that they're doing something wonderful up in the colleges. They have, they are now making, some of them are still still hanging out. They're still still putting up the good fight and all that. Mhmm. And one of them is the university of Chicago. And, couple weeks ago, they actually put out a list of supplies that they were running low on. And these are amazing. The things that they're needing. And, they've actually have shown 2 2 different lists. The first one was what they need is a caretit. With those caretit, they need COVID test, battery powered lanterns, flashlight, behind the ear, mask buffers to take the pressure off of wearing a mask for too long. So they're apparently, these kids are still are so indoctrinated by the, by the the woke mind virus that they think they still need to be wearing COVID masks. So you know, because they they got a virtual signal by by covering their face. Right. And then a food tent with serving utensils and, serving bowls.
And so that's, and then oh, come on. Get out of my way. And then, well, it's not gonna work for me. So keep you on.
[01:34:57] Rich Chelson:
Hold it. This is a college?
[01:34:59] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah.
[01:35:00] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's like it's like, okay, what have they done with all the money that all the students have paid?
[01:35:05] Bryan Goodwin:
What do you mean what have they done? They have done with it. Those that's given to the college. We've paid the they paid the college so that the college can, can give them good education.
[01:35:16] Rich Chelson:
Really? But but yet but yet the college is asking for, what, donations
[01:35:22] Bryan Goodwin:
for the students? Not the college. The students who are have have barricaded themselves into, in in the in the Uh-huh. Into places. These the kids the the the kids and little kids because they're throwing temper tantrums because they're not getting their way Right. Have made a list of, of things that they need so that they can actually properly revolt, essentially is what they're.
[01:35:44] Rich Chelson:
Okay. So, so they pay money
[01:35:48] Bryan Goodwin:
to go to college. And right now, no, no, they don't pay anything for college. Oh, Oh, that's right. They don't loan. What do you think the loans are for? Well, they yeah. Okay. They don't they they don't you expect them to work. Yeah. Right. What type of racist bigoted man are you?
[01:36:05] Rich Chelson:
White male on top of that. Exactly. You know what I mean? You're white too. Aren't you? Right. Yeah. I am. But, but, okay. So, so so these kids are protesting. Yep. And then and then they need all this extra stuff.
[01:36:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, yeah. I mean, come on. It's an impromptu protest that took several months to get professional professionally made signs and and everybody get matching tents for solidarity because everyone has the same color green freaking tent. You know? But it's very impromptu. So they didn't have time to plan. And what were, how would we know that we were going to need COVID masks and COVID tests? And and and, you know, after wearing those masks for for 7 hours straight, that starts to hurt the back of years. So you need the little, little, protection pads to take the pressure off and a food tip. Billy Fetzner, That's not all that they actually asked for. They they expanded a little bit. They need a medical tent.
And with that tent or with that tent, they need a table. Needed most urgent is what they said in parentheses needed most urgent. Heat gloves, which I don't know what a heat glove is. I I hear heat glove and I think of a, of a, Oven Mitt? Of a pot holder. But I guess I guess that's the newfangled name that they give roach clips now. So I don't know. But, they need heat gloves and it's needed most, but but not urgent. Wound packing gods. I don't know how many people are getting shaved in the, in in their, in the re their their their revolt, you know, in their little United camp, but apparently people are getting getting shanked left and right and center because they need wound packing gauze.
Portable chargers because well, we gotta be able to see you gotta be able to go on Facebook and Twitter and well, they don't do Twitter. They probably do, blue sky or or mastodon. Or TikTok. Or TikTok. Well, they gotta do TikTok. Of course. Of course. You gotta have you gotta get a little dopamine in there because this is such hard stuff, man. I mean, you expect us to ditch classes and sit around inside of a green tent for hours on end demanding that Palestine be, you know, get, get a the their chance to wipe, Israel off the map? I mean, hell yeah, man. Got a need, Karel X gauze. I don't know what Karel X gauze is, but it's needed most. I don't know how many needed moat. Well, there's quite a few needed moat most items on here. But, cat tourniquets. So apparently someone's gonna lose a leg eventually, and they need to put a tourniquet on them. Ace bandages because, well, yeah, you know, 4 by 4 gauze because, you know, in case their their car breaks down, ABD pads for wounds, which I don't know what an ABD. I know what an ABS is, but I don't know what an a b d is. Yeah. I do. But, all of these so far have all been needed most.
So, goggles, needed most emergency bandages. Well, isn't that what the gauze and the 4 by 4, patches and all that are, and that one, emergency bandages are. I would think so. Yeah. Trauma shears needed most also. And what are they, they also need that thing.
[01:39:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[01:39:28] Duuude-Ron :
But that's all In Palestine, dude. Yeah. Yeah. So if it's all about the protesting for Palestine Mhmm. Here is an absolute great thought. If that is so much that you want to, you know, help out Palestine? Go get your ass a ticket, get on a plane, go to Palestine, and stay.
[01:39:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, go. Look at this racist dude here. You know, you were not making any sense because if you go to Palestine, no one's going to see you. No one's gonna have a camera pointed in your face going, oh, poor baby. Right. You gotta get the recognition that I stood out in the rain and the and the 60 degrees sunshine for for days on end for the suffering of Palestine because Israel, you know, Israel's horrible, terrible, no good off of people. But because they're they're mostly white people. So, you know, you can't have Israel. You went out. They gotta start gotta stop picking on the on Palestinians. But another and some of this more some of the other things they need, Vaseline, you know, so they take temperatures.
Tweezers, you know, in case you get a sticker. CPR masks because, you you know, why not? Butterfly suture closures because I guess, again, someone's running around with a with a with straight razors or something. I don't know who is causing all these all these, problems, but they're they're Yes. Yes. They're they're needing they need butterfly suture closures, disposable stethoscopes because I guess they're cheaper than a full, real, stethoscopes, a camping sink, buckets with lids, helmets, and this one this one's funny. HIV test, dental dams, and plan b.
So you know what they're doing. They're bored as hell. So they're just loinking each other for fun because, you know, we're suffering for Palestine. Doesn't mean we have to go abstinent. Right. Diva cups, if you're if you're, you know, they're they're, you know, because you can't use pads because, you know, ew. What? Chapstick because, you know, you know, your lips get chapped. Mylar blanket for, your lips get chapped.
[01:41:53] Duuude-Ron :
What do you get? What are your lips getting chapped from so much?
[01:41:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Something Well, the for the same reason that your h I you need HIV test, dental dams, and plan b, man. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. Okay. Your lips are gonna get dry after about the 4th one you do. Alright? So, but also because they you know, these these these protesters, they're doing such a good job. They can't be seen with their ugly glasses on. So they need contact solution cases. Oh my god. On top of that. So and then I f a, I f a k pouches, which I don't, I guess I don't fucking ask, thing pouches. I don't know what I f a k stands for. But anyhow, they've got and they need these these pouches too because, you know, suffering and stuff. But yeah. I mean, it's sorry, kids.
I wanna I'd love to go down there and just smack them upside the head and and figuratively, not literally. I could do that with my with my words and make them cry. All I'd have to just say is the truth to them and they couldn't handle it. Right. But just to go down there and go tell them and go, this is your choice, asshat. If you want some comforts of home, then go home. All you have to do is pack your stuff up and go, this ain't worth it. I'm gonna go home where I can have a warm shower and and and my Diva cup. Alright. And Lee.
[01:43:22] Rich Chelson:
Right. Where but I I can have my HIV test.
[01:43:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And I got, and I got all of, and one of the things they didn't ask for condoms, they didn't ask for condoms. They wanted plan B HIV HIV. And who why is all of a sudden HIV a big thing again? Well, never mind. I know. Never mind. I and it's gonna sound bad, but yeah. Yeah. Never mind. I know why. So yeah. Anyhow. Dude, what was she gonna say? Get a job. And get off my lawn.
[01:44:00] Duuude-Ron :
Good job, bitch.
[01:44:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Precisely. So but that's, that's the fact that I mean, this was a lot of the same moronic stupidity that you saw back in, what was that, 2,000 and 8, 2009 when they did the occupy Wall Street, Yeah. Movement, which was, again, completely grass roots by by, creation because, some some, NGOs decided to get, acorn, is, was one of them that got together and said, Hey, we need to get to all the teenagers together and let the or not teenagers, but the college kids. I'll all have sit in the middle of Wall Street and protest the financing financial sector, which was funny because the financial sector hasn't been in Wall Street since the eighties, early since the nineties.
They spread out their their upper, on the upper, upper Manhattan area. They're, you know, they move. They're not on Wall Street anymore. Wall Street is just a name of a street now with a bull that sits on the sidewalk. And some dumb guy who decided he was gonna add to the, add to the effect of of Wall Street, the Wall Street bull and put the little girl that's with her hands on her hips.
[01:45:24] Rich Chelson:
So Right.
[01:45:26] Bryan Goodwin:
But it's just and those
[01:45:29] Rich Chelson:
Well, you see, that's the thing, though. If you if you if you look at it, I mean, every generation, we've had something for for years.
[01:45:39] Bryan Goodwin:
No, I mean, often. Yeah. In the, in the S you had, and the boomers, the boomers had, had their, the protest in the cities.
[01:45:49] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:45:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Gen x didn't have a really big protest. We weren't bitching about anything. We were too busy trying to find ways of making money and having a good time and enjoying the line. You say you say well, yeah. But think about it. From the sixties
[01:46:02] Rich Chelson:
all the way now for the okay. From 64 to now, that's 60 years. There was only about a 20 year span in there with, Gen X, which is us, that no. We didn't really protest anything because we were out kicking ass.
[01:46:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And but we did then I will say we did drop the ball. When when the iron curtain fell, we dropped the ball. We should have been on the lookout for communism to come back. Right. And we were asleep during the communism. Now we've got the freaking red diaper doper babies that are teaching the students and call it.
[01:46:44] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But
[01:46:46] Bryan Goodwin:
And that that's our fault. And and the the the whiny ass kids that were, that were known as the millennials and and, and Gen z. It that that's that's our fault too whether we like to admit it or not. Well, you know what? Either way, though, life will fix it. Oh, yeah. No. Life life comes along and there's a hard teacher. But, yeah, that that teacher's gonna bitch slap the crap out of anybody who whines. Well, you know what? Welcome to the real world. Exactly. No. That's Is I mean, exactly. My daughter quickly realized that. She many times, she called me up crying and boohooing about something about how hard it was living out on the real world. And I was like, yeah.
It sucks. You're gonna get the hang of it, though. And when you do, you're going to love your life a lot more. Right. It sucks balls. I guarantee you, kids. It does. And if you're if you're gen z, you're gen alpha, alright, this is more towards you. Yes. It is going to suck balls. Growing up, having to mature, it's uncomfortable. You're going to be wanting to to go out and explore the world and you're only gonna have $3 to your name. You're not gonna be able to do shit. You're right. You're not gonna even have enough money to take the car to work. You're gonna have to get up 2 hours earlier to hoof it to work sometime. You're gonna have to find somebody, become friends with somebody that goes, hey, man. I don't have any gas. Could you come by, pick me up, and take me to work with you tomorrow?
You Those are things you have to do. You have to start building a network. Sitting there too busy playing on your damn phone's not gonna do him. You've got to step up, grow up, do Shut up. What you really don't wanna have to. I mean, this is not fair. No one said life was fair.
[01:48:46] Rich Chelson:
No. That is not one statement that has ever been uttered that's saying life is fair. No. That's never
[01:48:54] Bryan Goodwin:
been uttered. No. It's never fair. But There are gonna be those who have things that you want and you're gonna wish that you could have those things. And you can't. You just had to work harder than that person did to get it. Right. And now in all honesty, you probably don't even know the full story and what that person had to cry crawl through to get To get it. To get what they have that you want. Right. Why did they have why did they have a $1,000,000 in the bank? Oh, probably because they didn't get 5 bucks coffee every single day.
They probably went with lettuce sandwiches and and ramen noodle soup for a couple of years. I know a guy who in Amarillo. He lived in his car on purpose so that he could take every, every cent that he made and roll it into his business. Right. He didn't wanna have to spend extra money on on electricity or paying for rent or paying on any other type of unneeded luxury. And now this dude owns a freaking subdivision. He builds houses just so he can rent out. That's cool. This dude is a gabajillionaire. Right. Right.
[01:50:12] Rich Chelson:
And, that's And see and see, that's the thing. He went out and did that himself and Yeah. He sacrificed all the all the grandkids want want someone to give it to them. Yeah.
[01:50:26] Bryan Goodwin:
It's like, no. It don't work like that. And so many kids stand around and they they have bought into the whole communist, line of thinking that things should be given to them. And it's like, no. Well, I Because because they're like, well, I we should. All we do is we work for this for so that we can actually have a place to live and sleep. It's like, yeah. That's true. And guess what? If you increase the value, you get to live and sleep in a nicer area. Mhmm. If you do crappy, then guess what? You have to actually sleep in a crappier area. It's like, well, we don't have that should it shouldn't be like that according to who.
Right. If you if you lived in in Russia back in the Soviet era, if you lived in North Korea now, you're still going to end up busting your ass from sun up Actually longer from before the sun gets up to after the sun goes down doing bat breaking work for less food. You're gonna get like a half a bowl of rice and that's all you get to have because you did a good job. Yeah. And, in Russia, there was lines for soup. There was line bread lines, famous bread lines of of Russia because there wasn't enough bread, and people had to stand in line. This is like great Russian, you know, everything is provided by the government. No. The guy when it's all provided for the government, nobody wins. Nope. No one wins. If you're wanting to if you have the incentive to work hard, well, we shouldn't have to eat. You have to work. You have to work to eat. Even if we didn't have a government, you were out in the middle of Savannah, you still would be getting up, going out, hunting food. Guess what, folks? That's work. And you don't always guarantee getting the habit of that antelope at the end of the day. Right. Mhmm. You may be eating some really sour, bitter tasting berries that you really can't, aren't sure if they're poisonous or not.
[01:52:25] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That you stole from a chipmunk.
[01:52:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly. You you robbed a chipmunk for them, man. You're you you It's it's it's rough life out there. But again, thanks to capitalism, you have a computer that is more powerful than what got us to the moon in your hand. You have 10,000 television shows at your at your choosing on a television screen that is the size of your freaking wall. I was growing up, We had I think a 24 inch was a huge freaking television. Oh my god. A 24 inch was like he's at the movies, dude. Oh, hell yeah. You can actually sit at the back of the back of the living room, on the couch, and what, you know, granted it weighed a ton and a half.
Yeah. But it, and you were really cool if it also had the stereo and the record player up, in it too, which we had. Oh, you were just high cotton. Hell, yeah. We were. Yeah. It had the 8 track. It had the it had the record player and the radio, and and it had television. So it was an amazing set. It was the entertainment system.
[01:53:43] Duuude-Ron :
It Yeah. You're right. The entertainment entertainment system. And when you say it weighed a ton and a half,
[01:53:51] Bryan Goodwin:
you are correct. It's a literal ton and a half of me.
[01:53:54] Duuude-Ron :
You whatever put whatever location in your house you wanted it, that is where it was gonna stay because nobody was gonna try and fucking move that motherfucker around. No one was stealing that bitch. No. Right. And and you ain't gonna
[01:54:11] Bryan Goodwin:
it 10 years later and it you finally got a new television, you moved it, there was an indention in your carpet for the rest of the time you had that carpet. Oh, yeah. I guarantee.
[01:54:22] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You had. Yeah. It was it was that indention had been there so long. There was no re reraising it. No.
[01:54:31] Bryan Goodwin:
No raking of that shag carpet would get that damn thing up. Nope.
[01:54:38] Duuude-Ron :
Without without a doubt.
[01:54:40] Rich Chelson:

You just think you do. I think I do. You're right. I do. So but anyhow, so guys, if, again, love to love to hear from you. Love to hear, if you got any comments, questions, wanna have our thought catch our thoughts and and insights on something that you've come across, shoot us a message. Either rchelson@[email protected]. Both either one of those will get to us, and, we'll we'll start talking about them on on the show. So, guys, with that, I wanna say thanks a lot. Rich, you have any last parting words for, for the for the fine folks listening?
[01:59:05] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Just yeah. Just a couple. Just yeah. Reach out and say hey to us and, let us know you're listening whether you like us or don't like us. And, yeah, we would love to hear from you and love to interact with you. And, you know, that's that's about it. You know, be safe until next week because we're gonna do this again.
[01:59:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Absolutely. And and and, dude, we the last words you got.
[01:59:31] Duuude-Ron :
And the last words that I have for this evening is, again, the one thing that I will always reiterate. 22 a day is 22 too many of veterans committing suicide on a daily basis. If you have a friend that is a veteran that is showing signs of depression, just that is got a lot on their shoulders that they just need to get off of their shoulders. Get get in contact with any of the veteran friends that you have and ask them, hey. Are you doing okay? Is there anything that I can do for you? And a lot of times is, the only thing that the the one thing that they would love to have is your time just to listen.
And hopefully, just by somebody listening to a friend that is a vet, you might have saved them from being one of those 22 a day that commit suicide in the United States. And that's 22 a day That is too many for, depression and, suicidal, rate for veterans. So stay in touch with your veteran friends. And if they're if you feel that they need to to somebody to for them to listen to, you know what? That is probably one of the best things you can do is just be an ear to let them vent and let them get it off their chest. And a lot of the times, that's all they're needing to do.
Right. So and for all the veterans that are out there listening, the problem that a permanent solution to a fixable problem is never it won't change the problem. So try to find a different way to change the problem or to, again, talk to somebody because there's a lot of us out there that have no problems. If you give me a call at 2 o'clock in the morning and you got something on your mind and it is to the point where you think you're gonna do that particular act, yeah, you damn right I'll answer the phone and listen to you. Absolutely.
[02:02:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Absolutely. So Yeah. Alright, guys. I hope y'all have yourselves a good rest of the week. We will see y'all next, next Thursday. And I'm I'm gonna do a little examination, see what I can do on getting a live show going for us. And, and next week also, Rich, I'm gonna we're gonna see what we can do on expanding one of the options that we do on this show. And I'm gonna leave it at that just so and we'll talk it out during the show. How about that? So Okay.
[02:02:55] Duuude-Ron :
Alright. We're gonna
[02:02:56] Bryan Goodwin:

Anyhow, guys, with that, y'all have yourselves a good rest of the night. We will catch y'all later.
[02:03:09] Duuude-Ron :

That's what it was. I was thinking about the about the, the the brownie I have in my pocket. So
[00:00:06] Rich Chelson:
Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. A freaking brownie in your pocket made you think of 2 angry vets.
[00:00:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, I hadn't had my I hadn't had my my my 5, 5, 5. My brownie gets my fucking grumpy. Hey, man. Welcome to 2 Grumpy Vets and the Dude. I'm your host, Brian, and am here with the other host, Rich Chelsea, and the other host, the dude. And we are here to each week, we talk about all of what's happening in the world and and given our thoughts, our views, our insights of what's happening. We just what's on top of our mind if there's anything that is on our mind, if we do have a mind. We we just love to sit around, talk about it, help it out because we have been meeting together for about, oh, I don't know what it was. It's been right about 4 years now. Yeah. 4. And, and just been having just having good conversations. So we've talked about this, that, these, those, and other stuff, and it's just it's a a great way. We're here to show that everybody that you can have intentional meetings with other people and be able to grow. This podcast is also a 2 point a podcast of 2.0, type of podcast. So we also encourage everybody to bring in their their time, talent, treasures of however it is you'd like to share, and we'll get into more of that closer to the end. So, anyhow, God likes to say hello. Welcome. And, dude, what's been happening in your world today?
[00:01:31] Duuude-Ron :
Well, dude has been having, well, it was yesterday and today was a long driving day. So, yeah, I put in 13 hours yesterday, and what I put in today? 9 hours. So it wasn't as bad, but, yep, just the wonderful people out there that we call or us semi drivers and tractor trailer drivers call 4 wheelers are just out of control.
[00:02:04] Rich Chelson:
They're non truck driving personnel.
[00:02:06] Duuude-Ron :
Non truck drivers. Personnel. Personnel. Yeah. Four wheelers. They are Yeah. Yeah. Four wheelers. And granted, I'm a 4 wheeler because as soon as I step out of my truck, you know, am I doing the same thing? You know, I used to until I stepped foot in a truck, and now I will not cut off a truck. I will give them plenty of room before I merge into a lane that has a truck in it because now I know how them guys feel.
[00:02:42] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Funny thing about go ahead. Go ahead. Keep going. Go. I didn't realize you're still going, so keep going.
[00:02:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. As far as that has changed my outlook on my driving as a 4 wheeler. But for those individuals that don't have a class a license, you know, they it is it is chaotic out there right now, especially post, COVID. Everybody is in such a hurry to get no place in record time. So my my week has been you know, it's been an okay week. Hopefully, I get to when when when I check my, lottery tickets, I have the winning lottery ticket number. That would be wonderful. Absolutely. Yes. That would definitely help.
[00:03:35] Bryan Goodwin:
But, you you talk about 4 wheelers and stuff. Reminds me of, back whenever I first started up driving for, for a, a company that I drove previously. We had all were making a, making a run over to, oh, crap. I would forget the name of the damn town. Anyhow, it was just just outside of Shreveport. As we were going through there, we were go passing through Dallas. And it was about, I don't know, probably 5 or 6 of us, and it was I was, closer to the to the end, and, Papa Goose was one of the, drivers. And he was heading he was just barreling right through there. We got into Dallas, oh, just a little bit after or right before the, rush hour hit. And we were on I twenty going through the mix master, just right around 5 o'clock. It's so it was everything was turning to crap in a big hurry.
We ended up jumping over to one lane. And if you don't know about semitrucks, they don't whenever you turn your your wheel, left to right after turning on the blinker, it doesn't we don't have the little trip bar on there that that knocks the, blinker back into place. So you actually have to hit you actually have to disengage your your blinker if you wanna if, if you wanna stop the blinking blinker from blinking. And so that's a lot of times. That's why you'll see truck drivers driving down the road, and they'll have their left blinker going because they they moved over to the left and didn't, didn't hit disengage the blinker. Well, I did that once. And I had, headed on and a a guy behind me, his name was, name was Ricky.
He was, I don't know, probably about 15 minutes after we all jumped over to, left one lane and stuff. All of a sudden, I hear I hear Ricky could pop in there. Hey, Potter. Turn your bliker off. You're fucking up the 4 wheelers. Because everybody was wanting to pass me, but I had that damn left blinker going on so people would stop or not stop, but kinda pace behind me waiting to see if I was gonna jump over into the left hand lane or not, and then they would start going. So I was building a parade and not and and and not on purpose. But every time I've heard 4 wheelers now, that's kind of the big thing that I think of is, hey. You're fucking up the 4 wheelers. Turn
[00:06:04] Rich Chelson:
the biker up. Don't feed the bears or feed the 4 wheelers.
[00:06:11] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No kidding.
[00:06:14] Bryan Goodwin:
So and, Rich, how about you? What's going on in your world?
[00:06:19] Rich Chelson:
Not too much, except I don't think I'm a fan of, of buying a house.
[00:06:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Buying a house can be a bit crazy. It can be a roller coaster ride to say the
[00:06:31] Rich Chelson:
least. You think? Yeah. It's it's I I'm like, yeah. That's, I mean, I've got like 3 or 4 people I deal with and, and, you know, I gotta call, you know, and check on the insurance and, and, and then I've got the loan officer lady, and I've, I've got to get this information, that information, this information. It's like, what the fuck? You know? And it's like, oh, oh, we need it right now. We need it. And, and while I get some papers, about 5 o'clock And it says, oh, oh, we need these documents signed and all like this. And I'm sitting there looking at him going through it. And I'm like, you know what? This shit can wait till tomorrow.
[00:07:14] Bryan Goodwin:
And that's that's precisely what you need to do. Yeah. They wanna get things moving as quick as possible, and there's a reason why because, because once you get it on contract, things will breathe a little bit more because then the that goes to the abstract, and the abstract has to collect all the all the documents of all the changes and the history of the house and all that. Right. And and and then the lawyers and the our agents start all kinda talking and bashing. You could kinda catch a breather. But, yeah, there's a there's a period couple periods in there where you're just like going, holy shit. Then there's gonna be times where they're going. I don't know. We've gonna need something some more. Oh, we're gonna need an extra, you know, $4,000 for this. Or, no, that's not gonna work. We're gonna need something like this. And you're just going, dude.
No. Man, I I actually they're, they were fixing to we were at the point when they were wrapping everything up, and we were prepared for what they they claimed the closing costs were. Mhmm. And I think he said so they said it's something, like, gonna be, like, $4,000 in closing cost or something. I I can't, just a number I pull out of my head. It's not actually the amount, but Right. You know, that's kinda but then they said, as we're getting ready, for the closing, like, alright. Well, we're gonna we got closings, gonna start b tomorrow.
And so we are going to need, you to have a cashier's check for, $9,280. And I was like and I remember that number. 9,280. Oh my god. And I was like, I'm sorry. How much? Well, we need the that's the closing cost. No. No. No. No. No. No. You told me $4,000. Right. And I understand. It's an estimate. It might be $4,500. It might be $3,500. But a reasonable swing is about a about $500 plus or minus in my book. Right. An extra swing of another $4,500. You know? Yeah. That's sorry. But y'all are no. Never mind. And they were, like, going, well, if you back out now, it's gonna hit your hit your credit. And I was like, I've got shitty credit as it is. Why do you think I've got an adjustable rate mortgage, and I'm okay with 9% interest? This is back, you know, back in, in 2002. Right. It's like, I know I've got shitty credit. You ain't telling me nothing I ain't aware of.
Yeah. No. Let me see what I can do. And so they figured out a way to bundle it and wrap it up into the, into the loan itself. Well, basically yeah. They yeah. Yeah. It sounds like they screwed you is what it was. It was, it was a new Gladys. Gladys was the it was one of the, one of the ladies. It was it was a a it's yeah. They screwed me, but it was it was a fly by night. You know, how they talked about the, the predatory lending lenders? Yeah. No. Okay. That's that's Gladys and, and this other person. Okay. And her husband. Yeah. They was just trying to They had they had an office, and it was a rough looking office. And me and Jana kinda cracked up about it because, like, the second or third time we we went over to meet, meet with the, with the mortgage brokers.
Gladys showed up, and she was in pajama pants and not really cared. And we were just like, now there's professional quality out there, but we were already, you know, well into the end of the process. And we're like, alright. Well, we'll just we'll just deal with it as we deal with it, and we'll just No. I get you. We'll just wink. Down. You can go Oh, I know what you get at, but at the same time, I was living At the time when we were getting the get the house, I was working in Elk City. So I was in Elk City. Jana and the kids were all still living in Sunray, Texas Mhmm.
Which is 2 and a half hours away. Mhmm. You know? As, anything over, you know, anything over, over 2 hours is considered long distance in in Texas time.
[00:11:18] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:11:20] Bryan Goodwin:
And so it was it was a long ways to drive there and not a long ways to drive back. And so I was not wasn't going home at the end of the day. I was going I was having to work until I got told that, hey. You've got, your your weekend is coming up, and the weekend could be out Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, Friday, or Wednesday, 3rd you know, it's gonna be 2 days together, but you never knew exactly where in the week they were gonna fall. Right. So there would be you know, I was always I was always gone. You know, where I was working for a company called EPIC. They're no longer around anymore. EPIC Well Services, and they, we set up the, monitoring equipment for for drilling wells.
So they were they were, I would just I would work there, and then I actually would get had a, a pay by week, apartment or not apartment, but a hotel room. Mhmm. And, over at the, over at the Travelodge in in Elk City, which is no longer there. They tore it down about 3 years ago, but still, at the time, got to know the owners of it, and they're nice, nice couple. But, but, anyhow, so I I was needing to find a place that we could live at because we knew that, that, the the owner of the house we were renting in Sunray wasn't gonna be was getting tired of renting and, actually kinda rented to us just because I was a friend of the family. Right. And so they were, they were getting tired of renting, and so I we were needing to find a new place to go anyhow. So I we're looking around, found the house that we're in, which at the time, it wasn't in the greatest shape, but at the same time, it was low enough that I knew I had a swinging chance of at least being able to get it. Right. And so we we went ahead and got it. But, yeah, I could've backed out, but wasn't about to back out because I was like, oh, we're too we're we're already on on this path. We're gonna we're gonna stick through this puppy to the, to the bitter end because, you know, there's a there's an element of fear in thereof. If I say no or I fight back out, then there's gonna be a chance they go, yeah. We are not gonna be able to find anything else for you. You you yeah. We we tried. You might need to try, you know, about an hour south of us or an hour north of us or someplace. You know? Have you looked at Woodwork? You know? I was like, no. We're I don't wanna go anywhere else other than in this area. This is where this is where employment is. I wanna stay in the employment area.
[00:13:49] Rich Chelson:
Well, see, that's where well, I mean, I mean, o 2. I mean, things have changed a lot over the years over the last 20 years with realtors and stuff like that. Mhmm. So, but yeah. No. Did those people that you bought your house through, did they make you sign an agreement that you was only gonna use them?
[00:14:09] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't know. Probably. Agreement? Well, I mean, it was with the mortgage company. I mean, as far as I know.
[00:14:17] Rich Chelson:
No. This is not. I this is just with the realtor you Oh, no. No. The realtor realtor no. I
[00:14:25] Bryan Goodwin:
the realtor that I that I used is, is reputable when they're hell, they're still around. No. I still talk to the the lady the son, the lady who we bought the who's, who was the realtor for the house. So Okay.
[00:14:41] Rich Chelson:
So, yeah, that's that's what that's what I've been doing. And, yeah, when I saw those papers and I was reading them and all like this, because this is the first time I've I've seen actual numbers, And I I just I just closed it out and I'm like, nah, you know what? I'm gonna sit on this for a minute.
[00:15:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Let's
[00:15:01] Rich Chelson:
how how how badly do I really wanna spend this money? So Oh, I mean, you know, no. It's not that. It's just that, yeah, I guess I, well, I've well, I need to look at the papers again. But, I think I think I have to pay for the appraisal up front, but I think it's wrapped up in the loan too. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. It's typically is that typically is. Yeah. What?
[00:15:31] Bryan Goodwin:
The inspection and the appraisal. Yeah. That Is what? That's usually, usually, the the, buyer does that. Yeah, you can typically have that wrapped up in the in the in the, loan. And then you you also usually have the seller do the closing costs.
[00:15:56] Rich Chelson:
Well, okay. Hold on here. Hold on. I'm I'm, doing a VA loan. I'm not doing a conventional loan. Right. And the VA loan, okay, seller is only allowed to pay 5% of the closing costs. And that that is from the VA. That's not from the that's not from anybody else. The the VA states that in there that the, seller can only pay 5% of the closing cost. What did they realize? There's still a whole other 95% of the stuff that's not been getting paid out of that. Yeah. You know, it's like it's like, what the hell? I mean, I mean, the VA is funding the loan. Okay. So Right. So it's guaranteed money, you know. It, you know, it'll get paid.
But, and say, trying to find insurance because, see, down here, I have to have a homeowner's policy, wouldn't inhale and flood.
[00:16:57] Bryan Goodwin:
K. Okay.
[00:16:59] Rich Chelson:
Just because I live so close to the Gulf. Right. And everything on and that, I've talked to a few other people, and one person's paying, like, 34100 a year. Another one's paying 32100. I got one quote. I was staring at about $5, but I was talking with this other guy, and I'm still waiting to hear back from him on the final number. Excuse me. But it'll sound like it'll be around 36, 37100. And that's for all of that. Right. Which and then and then, of course, my my loan officer wants wants me to talk to a few more people about the insurance. And it's like, just give me the best fucking price and let me go. I hate this. Right.
You know? I mean,
[00:17:54] Bryan Goodwin:
I Choices. Choices. Choices. No. When it comes to insurance, no. There's not any choices, but, no, they wanna give you the impression that's choices.
[00:18:03] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I know. But it's like, no. You know? If you can keep me around 34, 35100, sign sign me up. So, yeah, I don't know. I I just I just had to shut everything down and shut my mind down because because otherwise, I had just searched and walked away. Right. I lost $500 because I put $500 down for earnest money,
[00:18:29] Bryan Goodwin:
but I don't care. Right.
[00:18:32] Rich Chelson:
You know? Because, yeah, when it's like that, it's just like, you know, I've got I've got, you know, my phone's going off texting or someone will call, you know, how you doing? Hey. We're doing this and this and this, and we'll have this stuff tell you. And then, yeah, it just it's just like stop. So, you know, flip the switch off. So okay.
[00:18:57] Bryan Goodwin:
That's where you wanna go off and saying, no.
[00:19:05] Rich Chelson:
Say it in Italian.
[00:19:07] Bryan Goodwin:
I haven't gotten what English is, or, as of yet. So
[00:19:12] Rich Chelson:
yo. Shut the hell up. But yeah. So yeah. That's that's been my week so far.
[00:19:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Sounds like fun. Outrageous. Well, that's what I'm gonna call it. Okay. So And me? No. No. It had the biggest thing that happened to me was I got to go go over, hang out with with, with, Goober and spend some time with her and hang out with the kids. And and I've, I've got a biggest thing I've I've come to the realization and I've been kinda watching videos on is I've gotta figure out how to train my get my damn dogs trained. And that's just because they are too big to be as freaking hyper as they are. They need to learn how to manage their, their their energy level a lot more.
Now some of it is due to the fact that, yeah, I was you know, we I don't get to walk them until on the weekends, and stuff, so they they have a lot of pent up energy. Mhmm. But, but at the same time, I mean, now and, see, my my dane and my daughter's dogs are okay with each other until my dog gets too wound up and loon it it it's a very specific, number, elements that, fall in line. Rain's excited. Luna's in the picture, is in in the area. And if I'm in the picture if I'm in the picture and Luna gets too close to me and and Rain is excited, Not sure who it is, but somebody light sides okay. It's time. It's on, bitch. And the 2 girls go after each other.
And there's a reason why the German shepherd corgi okay. This is a little short fucking dog. Alright? It's the take take a German shepherd and shrink it down to a quarter size. Mhmm. This is what Luna is. He is a German shepherd Corgi mix. So short little thing, but her her nickname now is chainsaw.
[00:21:27] Rich Chelson:
Oh, wow.
[00:21:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Because she got rain. She got her right above the eye and below the eye. Got her on the shoulder. And, I mean, these are all pretty re pretty respectable little puncture wounds. I mean, there's no blood gushing and pouring out, but there was there were puncture wounds around her face. There's puncture wounds on her shoulder, puncture wounds on her lip. And, I mean, this dog and I've I've had I've had experience with with chainsaw before because they were her and Rain were fighting 1 morning, and I went to go pull them apart. And as I did, my finger decided to become the, got in the middle of teeth. And Oh, wow. Yeah. So and it was just one bite, but, by gosh, there was, like, 6 little punctures in there. It was like, so Wow. And I I can't get mad at them because they're just their dogs are doing what the what dogs are doing. Rain's being unstable.
And and, and and Luna is just saying, hey. You you gotta calm the fuck down, bitch. We're this is Right. No place for you to go losing your shit.
[00:22:33] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[00:22:34] Bryan Goodwin:
So I've I'm going to have to figure out how to get rain to calm down. And that's the same process. Also need to make sure I get Watson calm down because Watson will go off and get rain worked up, especially whenever I walk in because he since he's got hearing, he hears me walk in. Rain will be sleeping on the bed or something, and I'll walk in and he'll come in, and he'll get himself all excited. And I'll, the only thing I really know is don't look, don't talk, don't touch. But it doesn't work off him because he still starts just bouncing off, man, and you're not supposed to push him away. Right. Because you're just essentially, you're interacting with them. You're pushing you're you're feeding into the their their chaos.
Mhmm. And so I can't I'm not supposed to push him away. But he, at the same time, this dude got Wolverine claws. And for whatever reason, he likes to he likes to poke you in poke you in the back and on the sides and in the legs and in the nuts, all with the tip of those damn claws. And it's like, son of a bit, you know, I'll so eventually, I have to pay attention to them. They just, you know, if anything, just to to to get them shoved away and to, you know, and try to Calm down. Yeah. Let's see. Well, that's not calming down. Because what I'll do is if I get them calmed down or if I stop looking, then he's like, oh, okay. Well, well, I'm gonna go get rain. And so he runs into the bedroom, wakes her up, and she'll come walking out, like, going, what the fuck, man? I was sleeping and then see me. And she's like, oh, okay. And so then he all of a sudden starts going, oh, hey. Alright. It's time to get rowdy. She's up. She's all excited. So it's he starts making all sorts of noises and racket and growling type of noises, but he's wanting to try to wrestle with her. And it's like, so now it all has devolved into a, alright. I'm home to a, oh my god. We're gonna we gotta, you know, we're gonna tear the house down type of type of scene. And it's like, Jesus freaking h Christ. So, yeah, I've gotta get the dogs trained. I'm like, that that's pretty much what I'm gonna be doing for the next probably year is, is I probably start out with, with general corrections and probably devolve into bull whips.
So Well by my side. They do have
[00:24:50] Rich Chelson:
they, they, they do have, vibrating collars.
[00:24:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, we we looked at vibrating collar for And they beeps. Because that's to to get her attention. For him, I'm I'm thinking of just getting a collar that plugs into the wall.
[00:25:11] Rich Chelson:
But no. They Get me off.
[00:25:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Watch all that girl straighten out.
[00:25:18] Rich Chelson:
They've got those colors and, because, Matt used used 1 on, Troop. And, I and and and saying that most Matt ever had to do, I think was beat, you know, just beep him. Right. You know, he would listen, you know,
[00:25:38] Bryan Goodwin:
So Well, that's that's what our our trainer that we have. We got a a friend who's a trainer. She actually trained, the dogs we had before, before this. And, and she and she was, we had talked to her about rain just as a means of how do we train a deaf dog. You know? And she was like, well, it's it's a little bit harder, but it is doable. And big thing you wanna make sure you do is get her a vibrating collar, something that will get her attention. Mhmm. And, she was like, and this is the best one that, that I know of that we that you can use, and it's something like $350. Just like, goddamn, man. That's a you know?
That's that's that's a lot of money for a dog collar that you gotta charge recharge from time to time. So
[00:26:29] Rich Chelson:
I mean I mean, find one that's half that price, sir. I mean, look on Amazon, dude. Because they all Well, this one here has got plenty of it's I think most of it is the range
[00:26:41] Bryan Goodwin:
so that if she, you know, she does get, get a little ways away from you, you know, you can still because it's kinda like the time that, whenever we're over in Pottsville. What if for whatever reason, this dog just, you know, got a wild hair up her ass that, that boogeyman was coming after or something. Because we've gone over to the cemetery and we're playing is playing catch because it was a open area. There was one one gate that, that she could get out of, and she I had to at first, I had to pick her up and put her over the over the cattle crosser to that goes into the, into the the the cemetery because she wasn't sure exactly how you navigate that, that cattle crossing.
[00:27:24] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm.
[00:27:25] Bryan Goodwin:
And so I was like, sweet. Awesome. She's she I can just kinda let her roam around and do her thing, and and, I could sit there and and mess around, look at the, look at the headstones and stuff, which is what I like to do. I mean, I'm always finding new things. That's the first time, like, last time I, not this last time or the time before. I went there. Heck, I was walking around. I never noticed the, the grave for some dude's arm.
[00:27:52] Rich Chelson:
What?
[00:27:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Some dude had his arm amputated. And he buried
[00:27:58] Rich Chelson:
it. And, and, and it, it had a grave marker.
[00:28:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah.
[00:28:03] Rich Chelson:
Wow. Okay.
[00:28:05] Bryan Goodwin:
It says amputated arm. Something.
[00:28:09] Duuude-Ron :
Amputated arm. Amputated arm.
[00:28:12] Rich Chelson:
Oh my gosh.
[00:28:15] Bryan Goodwin:
So Yeah. It's and it's, I mean, it's fun. It's, you walk around in Pottsville Cemetery. I mean, we've got, you've got the, you kinda see where the, where the the the Spanish flu hit because there's a whole bunch of children's deaths there. One family, I mean, just heartbroken, every time you get around to look at it because it's like little baby, little baby, little baby, little baby, little baby, little baby, little baby, all from the same family. It's just chimney. So and then there's a lot of deaths, like, in 18 in the 1800, somewhere. And it was just it's fascinating to look at those and go try to figure out. It's like, alright. So what was happening back in, you know, 1864 or whatever it is?
Because, you know, there's a lot of people who died right then. And now, yeah, I've not ever found out what what the actual cause of it was, but like that. Right. The 19, the 1918, or 9, yeah, 1918 Spanish flu epidemic that hit. That was you got a got quite a few of those. So but, anyhow, anyhow, side sidetracked. So, anyhow, took rain over there, and we're I was had a couple of the of her fetch balls, and I'd toss a I could sling them out there real get a little ways. She'd go run out after it, and she would grab the grab the ball. And she'd come running back, and then I'd have to chase her around to try to get the ball back from her instead of and this is a good time. It's a great time. And then I threw it and she ran.
She picked the ball up. She stopped, dropped the ball, and shifted into 5th gear and started heading towards the gate. I was like, how son of a bitch. And so and she'd sit past me before I have a chance to grab her. And I'm my fat ass start trying to jog after her. Go, hey. Come on. Come you know, I was hauling out a deaf dog, which does no good. And this dog gets up to the, the cattle guard, slings herself across it, hit, you know, just jumps across it like lands and makes hangs hooks left, right hand turn and just zips down the road. I'm like, oh, shit. Now she's really loose. And we had some dogs over on the side that didn't look like they were too happy to be seeing seeing an extra dog running around and, and stuff. And I was like, oh, crap. So I go I run. And by the time I get to the, get to the cattle guard and look around the corner, I see her going around the edge of the, of the road heading towards the, head towards back towards the house. Oh, son of a bitch. So I was like, stop. I tried calling my wife. No answer. I called motherfucker. Goddamn it. Call again.
Nothing. I was like, some and I call her again. It's finally, she's like, what do you will need? I was like, reins loose. Get the car. Get up here to the cemetery. Like, well, where's the like, you know where the cemetery is. Just stop panicking, breathe. You know how to get to the cemetery. It's right in front it's the road right in front of you. She's like, alright. Alright. So she's like, I'll I'll get up there. And then about 5 minutes later, she calls back, goes, oh, I got her. She's here. She ran ran a mile and a half in, like, 7 minutes. I mean, Jeff. Why?
Well, hey. At least at least she knew where to go. Yeah. She knew where to go, but damn it. Just the fact that, one, she's deaf, so she doesn't know she's in a blind panic. She's deaf. And so if she was to cross the highway at the wrong damn time, she would've we would've had a really, really large greasy spot on the road, and I would not have liked that. Well, no. No. That
[00:31:52] Rich Chelson:
that would not have been a a good thing.
[00:31:56] Bryan Goodwin:
So but but, I mean, no. It's just things like that. It's just need to definitely need to, to get a get her under control. And if I would love to go off and have Cesar Millan show me what to do. But sadly, he is $65100 for a lesson. Really? Yeah. It's like and that's a group lesson.
[00:32:21] Rich Chelson:
Oh, wow.
[00:32:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. It's like oh, and that's part 1. But Do you have another $65100 that you gotta pay for the, for the next lesson? So
[00:32:32] Rich Chelson:
Wow. Yeah. So you know Yeah. No.
[00:32:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. No. No. You know, and I've I've I've never watched his show. I love his show. Commercials of it. But now knowing that it's $6,500 for one lesson, it nobody's worth that in in Ron's opinion.
[00:32:57] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. No. I I think he's worth that. I because I I mean, just from what he and that's the that credits the the power of of media. Alright? Because he's shown time and time and time again that he knows how to essentially speak a dog's language, how to show people that how to speak that dog's language. So that dog's language is not hard. It's actually calm and assertive. Yeah. When we wig out, we get ourselves all all wound up, we lose that ability to be the leader.
[00:33:38] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[00:33:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You're right. To stay calm. You have to stay even. And, yeah, when it's time to correct, you don't you don't just, oh my god. You got you. You start whapping on the dog. You you you know, you're you do it a very firm, very intentional correction on what it is. You need to know what your what your, intention is and work to that intention. Mhmm. So if I want a dog to be calm, I have to first show them what calm is
[00:34:12] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[00:34:13] Bryan Goodwin:
And not respond to the to the the very overly excited brain of of Watson, to the overly excited brain of Rayne. It is ignoring them until they calm down. Right. That that's kind of a tough one. Like I said, they because Watson's got freaking Wolverine claws that he likes to poke into you everywhere. And so it's, you know, eventually, it it that's that's my that's where I I struggle the most if there's any any type of struggle. Because I, yeah, I can walk in. I can ignore him. I don't look at him. Right. But eventually, he gets he he wins because he again, I'm tempted to just I'm I'm almost tempted to, you know, tape his feet up. Well, see
[00:35:07] Rich Chelson:
see, the thing is okay. I I mean, I don't I don't have a dog, but, you know, I've you know, I got family members that have dogs and, you know, I've seen dogs all over the place. And, like, you know, when I'd go to a friend's house, it has well, like, okay. When I'd go to Arkansas Right. I've got Trooper and Tater. When I walk in, those dogs get all excited and jumping up and down, you know, and all like that. The first thing I do before I even say hi to anybody is I pet them dogs. I pet them and, you know, stuff like this. And then
[00:35:44] Bryan Goodwin:
they're like, okay. I'm good. And then they'll go back and forth. That's actually your feeding into that bad behavior. If they're jumping up and down and and and, and being unruly in some way, being a rude dog in in whatever way you deemed it to be rude. If you if you look at them, if you push them away, if you touch them in some way, if you talk to them in some way, those are the 3 things that they receive as being as being good, reinforcements. Now if you were to correct them and you actually do kind of a bump on the on their shoulder or on their neck, then that's a a type of correction.
But again, you still have to stay calm when you're doing that correction.
[00:36:42] Rich Chelson:
Right. But no. No. What I'm saying is is like, you know, when I walk in the house, they're excited to see me. So so instead of ignoring them, I acknowledge them, you know, and take just a few seconds, and then they go back and lay down. And then, you know, I can say hi to everybody else and all like that. Right. You know? And that's that's normally how it goes. Right. You know? So
[00:37:09] Bryan Goodwin:
And that yeah. Yeah. And and no. And I and I I understand. But, again, like, what Caesar would do is he would actually say, when the dogs actually sit down and go into a relaxed state, that's when you give them the love it. That's when you say, good job. Hey. Good. How you doing? And you don't get do it in a way to get them re excited. Okay. Yeah. But you you go to them and you're like and you give them the pets, the lemons, you know, a treat or whatever it is you wanna give them as a good job attaboy type of thing. The moment and you wanna try to catch it as soon as they as soon as they hit it. So as soon as you see, like, if Watson if I was to ignore Watson and and to do everything that's supposed to be done, or what I deep what I believe is supposed to be done, in moment, Watson was to relax, he would sit down and and be calm, that's when I would, you know, start to start to to to pat his head, give him a give him a, a a treat and and and love on it. Mhmm.
And then, you know, again, same thing for for Rain. Rain's easy to calm down. Right? The moment I sit down on the couch, she's like, okay. You're here. You're sitting down. We're good. Alright. Then she proceeds to lay on. So It's like, here, I've got my pillow now. It's not My pillow my pillow's home now. Yes. This is good. This is very good. Alright. Now all is right in the world.
[00:38:38] Rich Chelson:
So That is fun. Yeah.
[00:38:40] Bryan Goodwin:
And in the like, the way she acted in in, in Amarillo this last weekend. And and I came to the conclusion and the, they, noticed that, yeah, I've gotta go ahead just I've gotta be the one who trains her because one, she doesn't wig out with Jana. She doesn't wig out with anybody else. She they just both of them just wig out whenever I get I at all. I guess I'm just the one who is the ball of energy that feeds them the the energy that they think they need to have, and so they're they're matching whatever energy I show up or at least that's the assumption that I have come up with. Right. And so yeah. I'm what do they say to you?
[00:39:24] Duuude-Ron :
Have. Connect. And within that aspect, with you being gone as long as you're gone for, you know, 5 days a week Yeah. You know, they only get 2 days. So, yeah, they're gonna try and cram every bit of 7 days into 2 days because you're gone. And I know that is, you you know, just like in a military families and being gone, You know, they all kids, pets, whatever. Right. Especially when somebody gets deployed. You know, like I was with a quick reactionary force with the 82nd. And, you know, for 3 months out of the year, you're in the field Monday through Friday.
Come back on the weekends. Monday, you're back out in the field. You know, you do that for 2 months. Right. You know, it yeah. They they are excited to see you, the family members, because they're always there, you know, are accustomed to them always being there.
[00:40:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[00:40:36] Duuude-Ron :
So, yeah. It's, you know, their anxiety level, because you're gone and then you're there, then you're gone, then you're there. You know, it just upsets their apple cart.
[00:40:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[00:40:50] Duuude-Ron :
And, you know, how do you overcome that? You know? And with you trying to be in the primary disciplinary in 2 days a week, you know, now they're gonna get possibly confused because they get to do things one way when you're not there, and then things change. And then, you know, it's just a back and forth thing.
[00:41:16] Bryan Goodwin:
So yeah. Well, and, yeah, of course, at the same time, Jane is the meaner one, Darren. She she's, she, she has a lot more I don't know if I'd say pull, but anyhow, she's got she's got her own you know, she's got her her ways of doing it like you were saying. So Oh, yeah. And
[00:41:35] Rich Chelson:
And it seems to work?
[00:41:37] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, she they still they still get all wound up and stuff, but, like, what if she goes out, leaves the house for for to go to the group grab groceries or whatever and comes back, they they're wound up, but and and stuff, but they're I don't see them going as Gonzo as as they do whenever I whenever I show up. And like I said, I think 90% of that is just because I do feed into it. Right. How I'm not a 100% sure as of yet, but I'm I'm examining that and trying to figure out exactly what's causing that, causing me to to to actually feed their bad behavior.
[00:42:21] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, maybe, maybe it could just be your your overall, personality or your, you know, overall thought process when you're coming home, you know,
[00:42:33] Bryan Goodwin:
And very well could be, but, and again, because dogs are pretty tough kids. Feeding into that, feeding the the bad behavior and start rewarding the proper behavior.
[00:42:48] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Because, well, you see, I I mean, when I go see my great nieces and nephews, you know, when I walk in the house, they're all, like, jumping up and down and running up and, you know, hugging me and stuff like this. You know? Right. I ain't gonna make them stop and sit down and then, you know, you know, and then walk up and, you know, nah.
[00:43:12] Bryan Goodwin:
No. But at the same time, you're, you know, the kids aren't going to go off and start start, you know, start shiving each other because, you know, one got in the way of the other one. So You ain't saying MJ and and and Frank and Brisey go at it sometimes. Oh my God.
[00:43:32] Rich Chelson:
It's funny because I remember one time I walked in the front door and, MJ come, Breezy was hugging me. And I mean, no sooner. I mean, I was still I was still hugging Breezy and MJ comes running up a little shit. And he was about, just under my waist high. And he comes running right into me and throws his arms around my leg. I'm like, oh my God. It's like I couldn't move, you know? He's like, I'm home. You know? And, I mean, it was funny, but
[00:44:04] Bryan Goodwin:
I ain't gonna stop him from doing that. Hell no. Oh, no. No. No. And I wouldn't stop. I'm not gonna stop Aspen when she's gets around to running and and if she's that excited to see see me and and and Jay and I, I'm not gonna stop that either. I'm not gonna I I I you know? Yeah. No. I know that. At the same time, we expect our dogs to behave in a way Because right now, our kids, essentially, they begrudgingly allow our dogs into the house.
[00:44:30] Rich Chelson:
Okay. What's why why don't they like
[00:44:33] Bryan Goodwin:
the dogs? Because they're so big and they are they they get to be in they get to be rambunctious because we'll leave them at the house. They'll get put out in the backyard with the other dogs for a little while. And then whenever we come back, they bring all the dogs in. All of a sudden, here's all the dogs and and Okay. Now Boone, he's Boone's a great dog. He's he gets excited. He wants to say hi to everybody and and all that. And but, yeah, at the same time, here comes Watson and he he shoves, Boone out of the way. And and and Boone's like, oh, okay. Well, I'll go ahead and come back over here. And so they get to they get to, kinda doing a shoving match, but it's nothing any big. But then what's it starts Watson has a fascination with faces. I don't know what the fascination with faces are, but, it it irritates Boone to the to no end. So Watson's just sitting there doing Watson's stuff of getting into Boone's face after a bit and Watson and and Boone gets tired of it. So he starts making all sorts of noises and stuff to try to tell him to, hey, back off, asshat. I'm getting tired of you being in my fucking face. Right. And then then they've got also got another dog named, Koda, and he's just he's a he's a katahua, cur. And so he's just kind of he he's just kind of this dopey dog that just he he he kinda he he just kinda lopes around a little bit here and there. And, I mean, at times, if he's, you know, if the dog's not the right at the right energy level, then Koda just kinda lets him know by by just growling at him. So you got one dog making making a whole bunch of racket and noises, then you got another one that's growling at anybody who comes close to him. That's not the not the energy that he wants. And then Rain, who is, you know, part horse. So, you know, I got a tail that's going off clearing out the coffee table and bouncing around. And, you know, it becomes a big level of chaos, and it's a level that is too much for the for the environment.
It become it the and it does. And I recognize the fact that it is too much. And the fact that when we go to Pottsville, I have to I I don't get to go actually, past couple 2 or 3 years, I haven't been able to go hang out with mom my mom because I've got the dogs.
[00:46:47] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay.
[00:46:49] Bryan Goodwin:
And she's got 2 dogs. And one of the dogs is a not it it doesn't like anybody else. It I mean, he anybody else comes around. Any other dog comes around, I'll say that. Any other dog comes around, he's going to he's he's not going he's not gonna be friendly to him and in any form, fashion, or another. Right. But yet I can't leave well, I mean, you saw rain even when she you know, when we were over it, she you leave her behind. She is going to make noise until she gets up next to me. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, that's, that is true. It gets, it gets to and so that bark, she hasn't she, her balls haven't dropped yet. Her bark is still that high piercing yip.
And so, you know, so you have to deal with that and not to mention she's smart enough. She knows how to open lever do lever doors. Oh, really? So she, you know, if it's got a lever on it, she's gonna sit there and bump on it with her nose until she gets the door open.
[00:47:53] Rich Chelson:
Wow.
[00:47:54] Bryan Goodwin:
If she, if if she had thinks she's got a chance of being able to see me, she doesn't quit. So we've gotta get her her separation anxiety under control. And to be able to be in a room calmly because if she comes into the end of the house where the other 2 where mom's other 2 dog mom's 2 dogs, not other 2 dogs, but her 2 dogs are, one, Lucy, she's typically fairly well behaved, but same time, there's she's had instances of where, you know, she's she gets tired of somebody being rude. She's gonna she's gonna be rude right back at him. And then Charlie, again, he he's he's an asshole. He doesn't like anybody. And so we have you know, it's it's a hard medium to mix together.
I usually end wind up being setting out on the, in the sunroom for the majority of the well, for about half the day. The other half of the day, I'm I've got the dogs on the leash, and I'm walk either walking them all over Pottsville, or we go over to my aunt's house Right. Who's got, you know, about 3 acres of land, that, that is all fenced off. And so we just I take them over there, make sure all the gates are closed, and just let them run themselves stupid for a while. Oh, hell yeah. And, I mean, that usually takes about 3 hours before they start kind of start trying to find ways of getting themselves in trouble. So which usually involves my my aunt Diane's, flower beds and and stuff. So so once they stop stop wrestling so much, it's okay. Let's throw on the throw on the leashes again, and let's at least keep walking.
So it's it's me being out and about, which I mean, Pottsville, that's what I always do. I've always been the, let's not stay at home. We're in Potts ville. Let's walk the countryside. Let's see. Can we cover a 100 miles in the next 2 hours? Type of type of, mentality. So I mean Right. And we and I do. I've walked from I've I've walked, you know, 30 miles in a day before. Oh my god. And, well, I didn't walk all 30 miles. I actually did end up having a farmer come along, pick me up, and and and, and hold up. And take me over to, so but anyhow so yeah. There I've got a lot of freaking work I have to do with the dogs. So and that's just because I haven't been a responsible dog owner.
I have not taught them manners or or how to behave. And the only thing I know is to wear them out whenever I we go to Pottsville, which means I am out and about in in Pottsville for for, for the majority of the day.
[00:50:46] Rich Chelson:
Wow. You know? And and yeah. I I mean, yeah, that's cool. And I know I know you like to walk and do all that sort of stuff. But at the same time, I would be like, I came here to relax too
[00:51:01] Bryan Goodwin:
and visit, you know? That is relaxing in Pottsville, sadly, at least for me. So, anyhow so, yeah, that's that's that's what we've all been up to at the moment. So what do y'all wanna talk about? Now that we've talked probably about half the half the, the show about, about random stuff in our lives. So Well, yeah. No.
[00:51:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. About half the show. Yeah. Because, oh, hang on. Hang on. What was that? I hang on. No. I was up here somewhere. It was another, another article I read, and, now maybe no. It wasn't that one. Shoot. I gotta find it. Excuse me. Because they here. Let me look on here because I saw it, and I I looked at it. And I excuse me. I was like, oh, hell no. And, I mean, I got wound up.
[00:52:01] Duuude-Ron :
What'd you get wound up on?
[00:52:04] Rich Chelson:
Well, hang on. I'm trying to get it up. Oh, I did. I did actually get to go crabbing, for blue crabs, and I tell you what. I'm freaking paying for it.
[00:52:19] Bryan Goodwin:
So you got any of those crabs back after you, after y'all got finished?
[00:52:25] Rich Chelson:
No. I haven't seen mister Keith today. I I I hope he didn't, hurt himself or nothing because he had just had a double hernia surgery about a month ago. And, his doc told him to take it easy and not to crab.
[00:52:46] Bryan Goodwin:
And, So 2 weeks later, he's out crabbing?
[00:52:49] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, when when I saw him the other day, I asked him. I said, is this the first time you've been out crabbing? He says, no, the second. Come on, mister Keith. And and this guy's like 70 years old. Okay? Oh, yeah. You can't stop 70 year old man. And and I mean I mean, nice I mean, nice nice guy. Knows no stranger at all. And, but, yeah, he had set out some traps and well, when it I was I was at this park just minding my own business. I look over, I see his car there and I'm like, oh, wow. So I went over and talked to him. And, I'd saw him throw some traps out and everything, and so I went up was, asking him about them. And, he threw 5 traps out, and he just checked 1. I mean, as soon as he threw the 5 out, he went back to that first one, pulled it in to check it. He had 3 crabs in it.
And I'm talking across their bodies on the point to point, it was like it was like at least this wide. I mean, they were good size at about this tall, about this tall and everything. And, yeah, those are those are keepers. It has to be 5 inches wide or or wider. Minimum of 5 inches. If it's smaller than 5 inches, you gotta do them back. But, and I also found out if if you pull a crab up and, and and the underneath is brown Uh-huh. And see instead of white, it's like a brownish white. That means they haven't shed for quite a while and Yeah. I found out that, they have a lot more meat on
[00:54:40] Duuude-Ron :
them. Well, if they haven't if they haven't shed.
[00:54:44] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I figured I figured you it was the ones that have shed. The crust the you'd want the soft shell crabs.
[00:54:51] Rich Chelson:
Well, these are blue crabs.
[00:54:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. But, I mean, the but all crabs, well, even lobster, I mean, most crustaceans that shed their their exoskeleton Mhmm. For a little while, their their their exoskeleton is very soft and Oh, yeah. Yeah. And stuff. So and that was I always heard that was actually the better, the better ones to get was, were the ones if you could get them when they're, as close to their their
[00:55:21] Rich Chelson:
dumb shedding as possible, that was excellent. That was all that always hurt. Right. Best of luck. It's very yeah. Very well might be true. I don't know. Because like I said, I had never seen, a blue crab up close. It had never, you know, and so he did that. And then, I walked with him back to his car, and he he got, like, 6 more traps. And, you know, and I'm like I'm sitting here thinking. It's like, dude, you're gonna worry yourself out. And he had a bucket to carry the crabs, so so I helped him. I jumped in and started helping him. And, it was actually pretty cool, you know, getting pull them in and throw them back out. And, like, the crabs, I mean, I didn't touch them or nothing because they were pissed.
But but I did learn I did. I did learn how to pick up a crab because on the, on the blue crab, there's like 2, like tail feathers.
[00:56:23] Bryan Goodwin:
They're not feathers. They're shit. Yeah. Yeah. They're but they're fins. It's what they used to.
[00:56:28] Rich Chelson:
But, the thing is, you reach behind them and grab them right there Uh-huh. They they can't get you
[00:56:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Anywhere else? It was kinda like kinda like making sure you grab the right part of, right part of the shell on a snap. Or Yes, sir. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
[00:56:44] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. And so but, but, yeah. And like the traps, you know, if there's crabs in the traps, I would just hit the bucket right there. I'd flip the net over and oh yeah, some of them crabs, it was, dude, it was piss. It was like, oh, I'm hanging on motherfucker. I'm hanging on. You know, and their their claws, you know, like this, you know, they got, you know, fucking big old meat hooks on the side here. You know, they got guns right there. And they're like, I'm hanging on here. You know? And it's like, yeah, no, yeah, you do. Just smack it a couple of times and drop in the bucket.
So, yeah. And on one run out of 11 traps, we pulled in, 31, 32 crabs.
[00:57:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Nice.
[00:57:31] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Oh, but we lost the dude. Lost the dude.
[00:57:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Let's see if we can get him to come back in.
[00:57:39] Rich Chelson:
His phone is, acting up a little early tonight.
[00:57:44] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. It is.
[00:57:45] Rich Chelson:
So yeah. And and check this out. Check this out. Believe it or not, in the time in the time I helped mister Keith, we caught 49 crab. There he is. And dude is back. Yeah. Maybe.
[00:58:03] Bryan Goodwin:
He's trying. Dude.
[00:58:06] Rich Chelson:
Okay. But, yeah, we've got Dude, dude.
[00:58:11] Duuude-Ron :
Here. Dude. Dude. Dude.
[00:58:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh man. Hey. Hey.
[00:58:18] Rich Chelson:
You're gonna have to listen to that because when, when Iran said dude, I pushed a sound pad. Uh-huh. It was like stereo.
[00:58:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[00:58:30] Rich Chelson:
It, I mean, it sounded, yeah, it was like, that was cool. I was like, that's cool shit.
[00:58:35] Bryan Goodwin:
But,
[00:58:36] Rich Chelson:
but no, seriously, 49 crab in, and I I was just like and come to find out in Mississippi, you don't need a fishing license to go grab it. For crabs. Nope. For fur. For crabbing. You don't need one. And, chicken legs. That leg quarters. Oh, crabs love the hell out of some chicken now.
[00:59:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Mhmm. I just thought that. So what was you what was the other thing you thought of that you wanted to talk about?
[00:59:11] Rich Chelson:
I scrolled off on the crabs too.
[00:59:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Were you talking were you wanting to talk about that? Was it the map of this? Squirrel.
[00:59:19] Rich Chelson:
You know? No. Probably not. Maybe not maybe not this time. Maybe next week. Give me give me a little more time to get, To contemplate the Get my thoughts in there. Yeah. Because because I I just I just I had been I had read it and I got wound up and I didn't.
[00:59:40] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Oh man. Yeah.
[00:59:42] Rich Chelson:
I know. Right. But, yeah. And I was sitting there thinking. It's like, no. Let me let me get my thoughts lined out a little more. Because if I don't, then then I'd be all over the place and Right. Someone would be listening and be like, what the hell is he talking about? I mean, they freaking probably do that now as it is, but, you know Oh, yeah. I'll say
[01:00:06] Duuude-Ron :
I wanna say they're they're they're listening to the podcast. They're like, where are these guys taking this to? Well, hell. We don't even know where the hell it couldn't go to until it's done. We don't. Yeah. Right. Until it goes done.
[01:00:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Alright. Well, we do know last weekend, they had the, the gal the Met Gala. And What's that? The Met Gala is from what I understand, it's supposed to be a big fundraiser for the for the Metropolitan The Met, which is,
[01:00:41] Rich Chelson:
the Yeah. Concert. Metropolitan Museum of Art.
[01:00:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. And so what they do is they have this big gala, this big fundraiser, and all these celebrities, well known celebrities all get together, and they usually will do dress up. They'll have a theme. And I forget what this is. Some type of garden, some garden, and it was they always have some type of theme. And so everybody gets together, supposed to do this theme, except for the fact that a lot of folks these days, a lot of the women, they show up and they have just their they'll either a, do it real classy. They'll be dressed to the nines in, some type of, very, you know, high high high fashion, dress.
Mhmm. While others show up and are in just a just a fashion disaster. And I'm not a fashion critic, but they're to me, I'm I see them. I'm going. There were several of them that showed up this year. Basically, they were they were just about 3 threads away from being completely naked. Oh, wow. And Okay. But but the thing that I noticed on here because you have, like, Lauren Sanchez, which is Jeff Bezos's, girlfriend. I'm gonna call her girlfriend. Maybe fiance. So I I don't think they're married. Okay. And I've seen her back before the Met of this year.
And everything that I saw, of the pictures of a lot of the women, it just cements my theory that feminism is out to make as much beauty out there ugly. Make it as ugly as possible. You've got, like, Madonna. Seen pictures of Madonna that she's what she's done to her face. She went from I mean, Graham, she wasn't the hottest looking chick in the world, but she was okay. Look. She was pleasant to the eyes. Yeah. She was easy on the And she now looks like a fucking alien.
[01:02:44] Rich Chelson:
I believe that.
[01:02:47] Bryan Goodwin:
But and, but Lauren Sanchez got this just horrible face on her that on herself now. She has gotten so much plastic surgery that she doesn't look beautiful.
[01:03:02] Rich Chelson:
Right. Okay. Okay. Let me ask you something then, though. I mean I mean, what what about this is is, has you worked up?
[01:03:14] Bryan Goodwin:
The fact that they are so against beauty. No. Okay. It feminism is equal opportunity for ugly women. That's one reason why they're tr the, the feminists are working so hard to get men into women's sports into men to to act like women. Because if there's anything that makes makes for an ugly woman, it's a dude. Not this, but a dude. Yeah. Not not not Not the dude. Not
[01:03:48] Duuude-Ron :
the dude. But but dude's in general. Yeah. But, you know, this dude is not going to do dude drag. No thank you. Sir. Whatsoever. And, yeah, this dude is probably, he's got a face for radio. That's why you don't see it. And but you know, yeah, it's it people that wanna have so much plastic surgery to stay young, knowing that that is not going to happen. Everybody gets old, and it just comes back around and it backfires because they have done so many alterations and liposuction and then both.
[01:04:43] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And that's I mean, you look at Yeah. It did. There's actually, article. If you if you do searches for it, there's actually articles out there talking about how Gen Z is aging like milk. They are, you know, mid twenties to early thirties right now. And they look like they're 45, 50 years old. And a lot of that is also because the 45, 50 year old women are getting the exact same surgeries. So there's no delineation between ages and so people are just going, okay. Well, she's she's probably about 35 years old and come to find out, she's only 22.
[01:05:24] Duuude-Ron :
But Wow.
[01:05:25] Bryan Goodwin:
What I'm but the thing is that I'm really getting at I mean, you look at, well, Goldie Hahn. Goldie Hahn does not look like Goldie Hahn anymore.
[01:05:35] Rich Chelson:
Really? I haven't No. No. No. She is. I am. She do not recognize
[01:05:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Goldie Hahn until she talks.
[01:05:42] Rich Chelson:
Oh my gosh.
[01:05:44] Bryan Goodwin:
But the the biggest crimes against humanity from, the Met Gala was my my ultimate, celebrity crush. Nicole Kidman. I don't know what they did to her, but it's like they took the took her hair and cranked it all the way back to the back of her head. She's got like a 16 head. It's not even an 8 head. It's a freak it's a full size 16 head. This sadly, the most beautiful woman that was that was in, in Hollywood is a freaking disaster nowadays.
[01:06:21] Rich Chelson:
That's crazy.
[01:06:22] Bryan Goodwin:
And it's it I I almost wanted to cry whenever I saw a picture of her there. I was like, oh, no. You was I'm Nicole Kidman. I mean, come on. The greatest I mean, Eyes Wide Shut was a weird show, but at least you got to go off and see her fully naked for a brief second. That was, you know, that was the height of my my young my young wife. It's like, yes. I got her boobs and her cooter at the same time. It's amazing.
[01:06:47] Rich Chelson:
You know? Hey. That's that's a feat. Okay?
[01:06:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly. And no, that that wasn't feet. That was that was not not a foot at at all. But but at the same time, it was but, you know, it was for at the same time, she was she's always been just that, you know, that va va boom, hubba hubba type of type lady anytime you saw her. You know? What was that one? Far and Away that she did with, Yeah. I love that movie with her. With, with, with Tom Cruise before they decided to do their amicable split, and Tom went off the deep end. Right. I mean, she was a great show. I mean, she's getting anytime you saw her, it was like, she she didn't age.
Right. Right. And then all of a sudden, she's like, oh, well, I guess I'm aging. I better go on ahead and make myself as ugly as possible because society wants me ugly now. It's like, no. You don't need to have pronounced cheekbones and and have what whatever the fuck they did to their to her forehead. I don't know if they just ballooned it out or what. But, I mean, she's got this gigantic forehead all of a sudden.
[01:07:55] Rich Chelson:
And it's just Saying saying that's like it's like it's like why you see, this is what I don't get is why is why people do this. And then, of course, the people that follow these people, the fans and all of this, and I will say this. Thank God you have not fallen the the way of Nicole Kidman.
[01:08:19] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. I mean, I I would make one I would I would make the ugliest of the young dudes. So I would Right. Right. But but now I've embraced the fact that I I I I and if you did not ever see my beard, I whenever I was I did never, grow my beard out for the longest time. And whenever I finally sat, I was like, yo, I really the way I wanted my beard to grow out was I wanted to all be black with a white stripe down the middle. I wanted a white skunk stripe. Right. And God says, I hear you, but, no, we're gonna do it my way. And so he flipped it. So I've got white beard, and I've got a black stripe down the middle of my beard. So, you know, I'm a reverse skunk.
So but it's but, you know, I I understand. I would make a very, you know, a very ugly dude. Right. Right. But but no. No. What I'm saying is is I may because I do make a very ugly dude. So No. What I'm saying is what I said. I was like, oh, yeah. You know, it is in the bathroom. Oh, shit. I have one. And
[01:09:22] Rich Chelson:
these people it is is these people think they have to follow these freaking celebrities? And it's like and and no. I mean, so so actually, I agree with you on that because, you know, with, you know, things are beautiful. People, I mean, objects, people are beautiful the way they are. Don't change it, You know?
[01:09:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Like like Learn to be happy with yourself. Yeah. Well, look at her all. Look at me. You know, I got more wrinkles. I got wrinkles on top of wrinkles. You know? Okay. I'm 55 years old. I've hurt those wrinkles. Yeah. Right. You think I'm gonna worry about getting beautified and getting rid of the wrinkles? Hell, I've earned these.
[01:10:14] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Right. And that's I mean, that and that's the thing that I I I understand. We each sex has their own sin. Men, our sin, is is lust. We see a beautiful woman. We're gonna lust after her. We fall we fall prey to that to that particular sin. For women though, the biggest sin they have is comparison I have to look as good if not better than that other woman And that's the biggest problem because no, you don't need to look better. Allow yourself to just age. A lot of it A lot of them have sadly succumb to the the marketing that that cosmetic companies have put out. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's one reason why you can't 12 year old, 11, 10 year olds aren't allowed into Sephora anymore because they, 1, they think they that's what they have to buy is Sephora makeup.
And they go in and they do all the testers and they leave the place in a complete and absolute disaster.
[01:11:18] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[01:11:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Because they go in there looking like fresh face of 11 and 12 year olds, and they come out with, you know, more makeup than than a, than the, than a hooker on Martin Luther King, Boulevard.
[01:11:33] Rich Chelson:
Well, well, what was funny is, Breezy video chatted me. This was probably a year ago, year and a half ago. And, or Britt Britt video chatted. One of them did. And Breezy jumped on there, and she was wearing lipstick and and something on her eyes. I'm like, excuse me. Who the hell is this? And she's like, honkam, it's me. I'm like, what? Why the hell you got makeup? And and ever since then, in fact, just probably about 3 or 4 weeks ago, I was talking to Breezy and she said something about makeup. I'm like, no, honey. You don't need makeup. You you you are naturally beautiful, you know? And so,
[01:12:22] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean You can wear makeup when you are comfortable enough that you don't you know, you don't have to wear makeup. Right. And you're okay with not wearing makeup. Then, okay. If you wanna put some makeup on, I take situate the the great parts of you. Okay. Yeah. Then let's go do that.
[01:12:41] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I mean, no. No. I no. I don't do makeup, so
[01:12:46] Bryan Goodwin:
God don't ever have to worry about me. But makeup is supposed to be like Brillo cream. A little dab will do you.
[01:12:53] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. But yeah, no, I just, cause yeah. Cause you see, that's the thing. There, there are, there are, so many women out here and I mean men too, you know, and all like this. They, they don't need all these Beauty 8. They don't need all these moisturizers or scrubs or or, you know, or whatever.
[01:13:19] Bryan Goodwin:
You know, they just That's that's the reason why women got so mad at men because we didn't use all that crap. Right. We used bar soap on our face, on our butts, and then our hair. And it all came out smelling just fine.
[01:13:35] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:13:37] Bryan Goodwin:
And that irritated the crap out of women because they had to go off. They had to do their more they use their face soap and then their body soap and then special hair shampoo, and then the conditioner for the hair shampoo. And then after that, we got out, you dried yourself, yet put on the moisturizer, which you were just in the shower. So why why do you need a moisturizer? And then the lotion. Moisturizer and then the this and that and the scrub and the exfoliator and all this. And by the time yeah. No wonder your face looks like you're 70. You've done taken 14 years off of it. So, you know yeah. It's got a oh, it's got a overcompensate for the amount of damage that you've done trying to make yourself look younger.
[01:14:18] Rich Chelson:
And and and that's the thing. All that takes an hour and a half, 2 hours.
[01:14:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. That's like guys, man. Shit. 5 minutes, we can be ready. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. We we use just use bar soap, and we're good.
[01:14:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. 5 minutes from waking up.
[01:14:34] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:14:35] Duuude-Ron :
Wake up, 5 minutes, ready to go out the door. Some females, 2 hours. That's after the previous 2 hours of deciding what to do for the 2 hours to get ready. You know, me, I can wake up, throw on a pair of shorts, throw on a t shirt, get the Crocs on, and out the door.
[01:15:02] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I see. I I see. I can get I can get the shorts on, the shirt on, but sorry. I'm not about to I am not about to do the the the ugly shoes. So
[01:15:11] Rich Chelson:
The Crocs. Yeah. No.
[01:15:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Crocs? You do realize Crocs are an idiocracy. Right?
[01:15:18] Duuude-Ron :
But you know what? They are the ultimate wheeling shoes for a Jeep.
[01:15:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna plead my ignorance on that one because one, I don't have a Jeep. 2, I don't I don't have plastic shoes. So
[01:15:34] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I tell you what. My rubber slash plastic slash Crocs are comfortable.
[01:15:43] Bryan Goodwin:
And I don't see how that is because it looks like I would be I I would walk, and every time I walked, I'd get a farting sound from all the sweat pulling in the bottom.
[01:15:54] Duuude-Ron :
And just I'm being I have worn holes into the bottoms of crock.
[01:16:00] Bryan Goodwin:
That's possible. Well, yeah. I mean, they are marshmallows, so, yeah. I guess it does make sense. Yeah. But I You know what? But they are 7 inches thick, so that's it's still kind of, kinda astounds me that you could do that.
[01:16:13] Duuude-Ron :
I I love my Crocs.
[01:16:16] Rich Chelson:
Well, you see the thing is with me and Crocs, I would just, I would just feel like I've got, like, I I don't know, boat shoes or something. Just some some god awful glob that I'd feel like I was had them fins, you know, if I was gonna go swimming.
[01:16:34] Bryan Goodwin:
I feel like I would need to go start yodeling or something. Look like clogs. Get some them wood shoes from Holland.
[01:16:44] Duuude-Ron :
That's right. And you know what?
[01:16:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Clogs over in Holland are
[01:16:52] Duuude-Ron :
Incredibly comfortable from what everybody says. Well, yeah. That and they're rated for steel mill, steel toed shoes. Well, but they're not bull toed. They're wood toed. You're you're right. But they are they are deemed safety shoes.
[01:17:13] Rich Chelson:
What kind of wood are they made of?
[01:17:17] Duuude-Ron :
Ironwood. No. There's a lot of the a lot of those are I can't remember the name of the wood, but it is a very, very, very hard wood that they make those out of.
[01:17:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Speaking of Ironwood, I was looking around to see what, you know because we've always I've heard Ironwood mentioned many times, mostly through, through Stephen King's, Dark Tower series. Because Mhmm. Roland Dashain, the, the the gunslinger, the pistols that he had had ironwood grips. I was like, what the hell is that? Apparently, mesquite is a type of ironwood. Did you know that? No. I no. That I had no idea either until about a month ago, and I was just kinda looking at us. I finally somebody mentioned Ironwood, and I was like, what the hell is Ironwood anyhow? And went to look it through, and I was like, mesquite?
Well, so? Not what I thought it was, but it's a it's a type of very extra very dense wood. And it's Well, yeah, I could see that. But so I could yeah. I could see that too, but I didn't realize that mesquite was considered ironwood. No. No. I didn't either.
[01:18:35] Rich Chelson:
So so if the wood is extra dense, that's that's that's considered ironwood.
[01:18:41] Bryan Goodwin:
That's a a type of ironwood. Yeah. Okay. Or something to that effect. Yeah. Okay. No. I I
[01:18:47] Rich Chelson:
I had no idea because, I mean, I mean, freaking mosquito's great for smoking meat. Oh, yeah. It's great for smoking.
[01:18:55] Bryan Goodwin:
And I mean, granted, if you grab you can find one that's straight enough that you can turn into into a club. I always heard those were some of the best head knockers you can ever come across, but so Really? Mhmm. Yeah. Okay. So that makes sense. I mean, if they if it is actually considered Ironwood. So
[01:19:12] Duuude-Ron :
So going so going back to Crocs, if you've never owned a pair of Croc, you don't know what you're missing. Well I think they are a comfortable hue.
[01:19:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Yes. But also at one time, young women, young girls wanted to wear shoes that were called UGGs.
[01:19:39] Rich Chelson:
Yes. UGGs were a big thing. And they were ugly.
[01:19:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. They'll come up. The sad thing was is they could have been alright, but the the but their souls I don't know if their souls were just weren't made right or what the actual problem was because none of the girls ever actually walked on the soles of the damn boot. Because the sole on the boot would eventually work off to the inside of their foot. Mhmm. And so they were actually walking on the just the side of the boot itself. Every girl I ever saw who and is when I say girl, I'm talking like, my youngest daughter, she when, she wanted to wear them, she was like in the 6th, 7th, 8th grade, somewhere along that area. Okay. And so and but all of them would go walking around, and they, every single one of the shoes, they were soles were cranked off into the, on into the inside of their foot. They were just walking on the sides of the boots, essentially.
And it was just like Well They're ugly for 1. I mean, and they were. They were uglier and sin freaking boots. Yeah. They were. And and then on top of that, their soles didn't even stay where the soles were supposed to be.
[01:20:56] Rich Chelson:
But by god, that company made a buttload of money. They made a pretty damn fortune. Yeah.
[01:21:02] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, I the only thing I wish they would bring back and I would buy a pair is if they brought actually made moon boots again. Oh
[01:21:11] Duuude-Ron :
my god. Remember that? Pair of those. Yeah. I had a pair of those.
[01:21:16] Rich Chelson:
I say, I don't I don't think I had a pair of those. You didn't have any moon boots? It No. You know, you said Poor
[01:21:23] Bryan Goodwin:
man. Oh, man. You were you were abused, weren't you? Yeah. I
[01:21:27] Duuude-Ron :
was. You know, and if you didn't you would know if you had Moon boots.
[01:21:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, hell yeah. So you know what? I don't know what the extra fluffy round boot they look like astronaut boots. They literally look like astronaut boots. No. Never had them. Yep. The only problem is is when you go to take it off, the inside liner, which is the insulation, which is essentially nothing more than than than foam.
[01:21:50] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm.
[01:21:52] Bryan Goodwin:
Would come out of your, come out on your on your foot, and it was wrapped in plastic. So it would come out. And so trying to get its stuff back into the boot was next to impossible. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Those are awesome.
[01:22:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. This is what I wish to paint legs in there? It's great. This is what I wish they would bring back. Ocean Pacific Corduroy. A corduroy short. Yep. Corduroy short.
[01:22:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, corduroy shorts and all. I've got dogs that shed. I couldn't do corduroy, man. I'd be I'd have I'd have my midsection my mid my mid crotch area would be hairier than what's be allowed. I'd be end up getting flagged for indecency.
[01:22:42] Duuude-Ron :
Man, but I tell you what, ocean pacific shorts, they were they were also comfortable. Oh, no. I get I I agree there. I had Yeah. No. They were had OP shorts and shirts and Shirts and yep.
[01:22:54] Rich Chelson:
And I had a few shirts and a and a and a and and, like, a hoodie, but that was it. I didn't have any OP shorts. But, yeah, OP is still in business too.
[01:23:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. They just they mainly do shirts. They they I don't see them doing shorts at all. Yeah. Yeah. They don't make shorts anymore. No. It's it's doll t shirts.
[01:23:16] Duuude-Ron :
That's just wrong, man. Yeah. Yeah. Because I would love to fucking have another pair of OP Shorts.
[01:23:23] Bryan Goodwin:
But one thing that has come has come back into style that I am just 8 ways inside. I've been trying to hope I get a decent enough paycheck so I can grab a few. But Hawaiian shirts have come back. Really? And they're not just a flowery Hawaiian. They've got some some, you know, unique or they've upgraded the the Hawaiian shirts so that they're got better graphics on them now. Okay. Okay, man. I'm, like, 4 And there's one that I I keep seeing on Facebook, and I just I've I I wanna get it just because of because it's, it's it's kicking chicken. It's just chicken, and he's got a he got his foot out there. He's you know, like he's kicking somebody. It's it just cracks me up every time I see a picture of this damn chicken kicking something.
So is and and I get a lot of them that are just cool colors and bright, bright colors. I mean, I've always been one for the louder the shirt, the better. No. Because I have 2 pretty Oh, hell yeah.
[01:24:20] Duuude-Ron :
And see, I could never do a Hawaiian shirt. It doesn't matter what the pattern. If it is florals, if it is hot rod cars, if it is flags,
[01:24:32] Bryan Goodwin:
I do in a Hawaiian shirt. But do you I used to have a I used to have a Hawaiian shirt that had a bunch of Swordfish on them. It was amazing.
[01:24:40] Rich Chelson:
With a pair with a pair of OP shorts, your crotch and a Hawaiian shirt. Man, you do. You'd you'd be The honey is up after you. Be having to knock the women off with a stick. I'm telling you, man.
[01:24:53] Duuude-Ron :
Well, if that's the case,
[01:24:56] Bryan Goodwin:
possibly, maybe you can shorts and and we could take your beard off. Just leave the mustache. You we'd save your magnum PI.
[01:25:04] Rich Chelson:
Dude, there you go, man.
[01:25:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Get you a fake looking Ferrari.
[01:25:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It it's called a Jeep.
[01:25:14] Bryan Goodwin:
Get a Jeep and put a little Ferrari emblem on the nose? There you go.
[01:25:18] Duuude-Ron :
You know, actually, what I wanna do is 1 of 2 emblems on my Jeep. I just haven't decided on which one I should get. And one of them for a hood ornament being the Mack dog from the Mack truck. Yeah. Or or the duck. From convoy? From convoy. Convoy. The rubber duck? The rubber duck. And he had that angry looking duck on the front of his hood. Yep. And they I've seen those on, Amazon.
[01:25:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Oh, they've got them here. They've actually, they've got a they've got the got them here at the
[01:26:04] Rich Chelson:
Truck stop?
[01:26:05] Bryan Goodwin:
It's truck stop here.
[01:26:07] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm. What they run at the truck stop now.
[01:26:11] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't know. I I just see them and just kinda go, I know that one and and kinda carry on. I remember I remember when,
[01:26:19] Rich Chelson:
crumbing your truck out and everything was a big thing. And and this was this was right when this was right when, show trucks was getting started.
[01:26:30] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. Okay.
[01:26:31] Rich Chelson:
And, yeah. Like those, we call them hood grabbers, but the like the angry duck, I think. Yeah. I think there was one like a 102 at the time. And, Mac Bulldog, you could get from, like, 65 to 85 depending on where you was at in the country.
[01:26:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Yeah. I don't I don't know if it's any cheaper or what. But I don't know. But I know that they're still shiny plastic is still stupid expensive.
[01:27:03] Rich Chelson:
It shouldn't be plastic. Stuff out. Should be metal. It it's it's shiny plastic.
[01:27:09] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, wow. It's not actual chromium strips or anything like that. It's Right. Very very highly polished silver plastic.
[01:27:19] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. Yeah. And I would like to actually get a metal duct because for those individuals, listening to the podcast, if you are not a cheap owner, you don't know the lifestyle of having a vehicle. Duh. Well, Jeeps, and I know everybody has probably seen it, but, jeep owners having a whole windshield of duck, you know, on their on their windshield. And I'm not a a duck fan. I don't have any ducks on my windshield, but I would put that hood ornament, that duck, on my Jeep.
[01:28:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Still like to know what the what it is about the ducks and the jeep. I don't fully understand that. Whatever it It started
[01:28:17] Rich Chelson:
is up on the east coast.
[01:28:18] Duuude-Ron :
It No. It started.
[01:28:20] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Go ahead.
[01:28:22] Duuude-Ron :
There was and I don't remember exactly the name of the town. There was a lady that, had a jeep, and she got ducks, little rubber ducks. And if she thought that you had a real cool Jeep, she put a duck on the handle the door handle, the driver's side door handle to let you know that you had a real cool Jeep, that somebody really like whatever lift or design or graphics or whatever you had on your Jeep. Right. They she thought it was really neat. And it has just grown into a a cult that if you have a Jeep, eventually, you're gonna get a duck on it. And it's just grown through and it's not all Jeeps. It is 98% of it is the Wranglers.
None of the other Jeeps, the,
[01:29:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Grand Cherokees, Laredos, or Wagoneer.
[01:29:31] Duuude-Ron :
Or none of those. It is only the rack or the, wagon not the Wagoneers, but the Wranglers. Wranglers. Is the Jeep community that does the Ducks and it is just blown out of I can't say out of proportion, but it has just become a cult association with Wrangler Jeeps, and getting a duck put on your jeep. Yeah. I mean But it started up in Canada.
[01:30:01] Rich Chelson:
But see, it makes people feel good, you know.
[01:30:06] Duuude-Ron :
You know, you know, if I get a job and see, like I said, I I don't have any ducks on the dash of my jeep. Now if I get a duck on my jeep, I will reduck. So I will take that duck from my Jeep. And if let's say it's in a Walmart parking lot, and I get a jeep or a duck in a Walmart parking lot, I will find another jeep in that Walmart parking lot and take that duck and put it on that jeep. So I reduck. Now the only ones that I don't reduck are the ones that have the mohawk. Right. I have I have 6 ducks that have mohawks. Those are the ones that I have collected. I think they're cool.
Other than the other 6 that have a lot of meaning to me on who gave them to me and how they were given. Those 6 ducks, I will have forever. Same way with the the ducks that I have or that have the Mohawk. You know? Now somebody ducks my Jeep, and that duck has a mohawk in some way, shape, or form, that goes into my collection.
[01:31:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay.
[01:31:30] Duuude-Ron :
So I yeah. I do have a very small collection of ducks, but they all got mohawks.
[01:31:39] Rich Chelson:
Well, I've got I've got I've got 2 ducks in, in in my Jeep Wrangler. And my Mohawk Duck actually, my little green alien looks like he's screwing my Mohawk Duck because I've got him sitting right behind the duck. Yeah. Laying into one side while the duck actually looks like it's leaning or facing towards the right just a little bit with its beak open and the alien's looking off to the left side. And I had just sat him there and actually had forgotten all about it. And when you look at it from the front, though, it yeah. It looks like looks like the duck is like, oh my god. Oh my god. You know?
So but that's all I have because since I've been down here, I've I've only gotten one duck. And that was that was my Mohawk duck.
[01:32:38] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And I've only And there's one and there's one there's one guy in one of the clubs around here. I mean, he has a milk crate in the back of his duck or in the back of his Jeep that is full of duck. A milk crate full of duck. And he has, on his Jeep, he has 3 rows of ducks on his dash.
[01:33:08] Rich Chelson:
That makes him happy.
[01:33:10] Duuude-Ron :
That may you you know what? If that makes him happier than happier than happy, more power to you. You have as many ducks and a dash of your Jeep as you want to. Right. Right. I'm gonna have 0.
[01:33:29] Bryan Goodwin:
So one of something else I wanna jump into.
[01:33:33] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:33:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Is, we all know that the the, the young skulls full of mush that think that they're doing something wonderful up in the colleges. They have, they are now making, some of them are still still hanging out. They're still still putting up the good fight and all that. Mhmm. And one of them is the university of Chicago. And, couple weeks ago, they actually put out a list of supplies that they were running low on. And these are amazing. The things that they're needing. And, they've actually have shown 2 2 different lists. The first one was what they need is a caretit. With those caretit, they need COVID test, battery powered lanterns, flashlight, behind the ear, mask buffers to take the pressure off of wearing a mask for too long. So they're apparently, these kids are still are so indoctrinated by the, by the the woke mind virus that they think they still need to be wearing COVID masks. So you know, because they they got a virtual signal by by covering their face. Right. And then a food tent with serving utensils and, serving bowls.
And so that's, and then oh, come on. Get out of my way. And then, well, it's not gonna work for me. So keep you on.
[01:34:57] Rich Chelson:
Hold it. This is a college?
[01:34:59] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah.
[01:35:00] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's like it's like, okay, what have they done with all the money that all the students have paid?
[01:35:05] Bryan Goodwin:
What do you mean what have they done? They have done with it. Those that's given to the college. We've paid the they paid the college so that the college can, can give them good education.
[01:35:16] Rich Chelson:
Really? But but yet but yet the college is asking for, what, donations
[01:35:22] Bryan Goodwin:
for the students? Not the college. The students who are have have barricaded themselves into, in in the in the Uh-huh. Into places. These the kids the the the kids and little kids because they're throwing temper tantrums because they're not getting their way Right. Have made a list of, of things that they need so that they can actually properly revolt, essentially is what they're.
[01:35:44] Rich Chelson:
Okay. So, so they pay money
[01:35:48] Bryan Goodwin:
to go to college. And right now, no, no, they don't pay anything for college. Oh, Oh, that's right. They don't loan. What do you think the loans are for? Well, they yeah. Okay. They don't they they don't you expect them to work. Yeah. Right. What type of racist bigoted man are you?
[01:36:05] Rich Chelson:
White male on top of that. Exactly. You know what I mean? You're white too. Aren't you? Right. Yeah. I am. But, but, okay. So, so so these kids are protesting. Yep. And then and then they need all this extra stuff.
[01:36:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, yeah. I mean, come on. It's an impromptu protest that took several months to get professional professionally made signs and and everybody get matching tents for solidarity because everyone has the same color green freaking tent. You know? But it's very impromptu. So they didn't have time to plan. And what were, how would we know that we were going to need COVID masks and COVID tests? And and and, you know, after wearing those masks for for 7 hours straight, that starts to hurt the back of years. So you need the little, little, protection pads to take the pressure off and a food tip. Billy Fetzner, That's not all that they actually asked for. They they expanded a little bit. They need a medical tent.
And with that tent or with that tent, they need a table. Needed most urgent is what they said in parentheses needed most urgent. Heat gloves, which I don't know what a heat glove is. I I hear heat glove and I think of a, of a, Oven Mitt? Of a pot holder. But I guess I guess that's the newfangled name that they give roach clips now. So I don't know. But, they need heat gloves and it's needed most, but but not urgent. Wound packing gods. I don't know how many people are getting shaved in the, in in their, in the re their their their revolt, you know, in their little United camp, but apparently people are getting getting shanked left and right and center because they need wound packing gauze.
Portable chargers because well, we gotta be able to see you gotta be able to go on Facebook and Twitter and well, they don't do Twitter. They probably do, blue sky or or mastodon. Or TikTok. Or TikTok. Well, they gotta do TikTok. Of course. Of course. You gotta have you gotta get a little dopamine in there because this is such hard stuff, man. I mean, you expect us to ditch classes and sit around inside of a green tent for hours on end demanding that Palestine be, you know, get, get a the their chance to wipe, Israel off the map? I mean, hell yeah, man. Got a need, Karel X gauze. I don't know what Karel X gauze is, but it's needed most. I don't know how many needed moat. Well, there's quite a few needed moat most items on here. But, cat tourniquets. So apparently someone's gonna lose a leg eventually, and they need to put a tourniquet on them. Ace bandages because, well, yeah, you know, 4 by 4 gauze because, you know, in case their their car breaks down, ABD pads for wounds, which I don't know what an ABD. I know what an ABS is, but I don't know what an a b d is. Yeah. I do. But, all of these so far have all been needed most.
So, goggles, needed most emergency bandages. Well, isn't that what the gauze and the 4 by 4, patches and all that are, and that one, emergency bandages are. I would think so. Yeah. Trauma shears needed most also. And what are they, they also need that thing.
[01:39:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[01:39:28] Duuude-Ron :
But that's all In Palestine, dude. Yeah. Yeah. So if it's all about the protesting for Palestine Mhmm. Here is an absolute great thought. If that is so much that you want to, you know, help out Palestine? Go get your ass a ticket, get on a plane, go to Palestine, and stay.
[01:39:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, go. Look at this racist dude here. You know, you were not making any sense because if you go to Palestine, no one's going to see you. No one's gonna have a camera pointed in your face going, oh, poor baby. Right. You gotta get the recognition that I stood out in the rain and the and the 60 degrees sunshine for for days on end for the suffering of Palestine because Israel, you know, Israel's horrible, terrible, no good off of people. But because they're they're mostly white people. So, you know, you can't have Israel. You went out. They gotta start gotta stop picking on the on Palestinians. But another and some of this more some of the other things they need, Vaseline, you know, so they take temperatures.
Tweezers, you know, in case you get a sticker. CPR masks because, you you know, why not? Butterfly suture closures because I guess, again, someone's running around with a with a with straight razors or something. I don't know who is causing all these all these, problems, but they're they're Yes. Yes. They're they're needing they need butterfly suture closures, disposable stethoscopes because I guess they're cheaper than a full, real, stethoscopes, a camping sink, buckets with lids, helmets, and this one this one's funny. HIV test, dental dams, and plan b.
So you know what they're doing. They're bored as hell. So they're just loinking each other for fun because, you know, we're suffering for Palestine. Doesn't mean we have to go abstinent. Right. Diva cups, if you're if you're, you know, they're they're, you know, because you can't use pads because, you know, ew. What? Chapstick because, you know, you know, your lips get chapped. Mylar blanket for, your lips get chapped.
[01:41:53] Duuude-Ron :
What do you get? What are your lips getting chapped from so much?
[01:41:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Something Well, the for the same reason that your h I you need HIV test, dental dams, and plan b, man. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. Okay. Your lips are gonna get dry after about the 4th one you do. Alright? So, but also because they you know, these these these protesters, they're doing such a good job. They can't be seen with their ugly glasses on. So they need contact solution cases. Oh my god. On top of that. So and then I f a, I f a k pouches, which I don't, I guess I don't fucking ask, thing pouches. I don't know what I f a k stands for. But anyhow, they've got and they need these these pouches too because, you know, suffering and stuff. But yeah. I mean, it's sorry, kids.
I wanna I'd love to go down there and just smack them upside the head and and figuratively, not literally. I could do that with my with my words and make them cry. All I'd have to just say is the truth to them and they couldn't handle it. Right. But just to go down there and go tell them and go, this is your choice, asshat. If you want some comforts of home, then go home. All you have to do is pack your stuff up and go, this ain't worth it. I'm gonna go home where I can have a warm shower and and and my Diva cup. Alright. And Lee.
[01:43:22] Rich Chelson:
Right. Where but I I can have my HIV test.
[01:43:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And I got, and I got all of, and one of the things they didn't ask for condoms, they didn't ask for condoms. They wanted plan B HIV HIV. And who why is all of a sudden HIV a big thing again? Well, never mind. I know. Never mind. I and it's gonna sound bad, but yeah. Yeah. Never mind. I know why. So yeah. Anyhow. Dude, what was she gonna say? Get a job. And get off my lawn.
[01:44:00] Duuude-Ron :
Good job, bitch.
[01:44:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Precisely. So but that's, that's the fact that I mean, this was a lot of the same moronic stupidity that you saw back in, what was that, 2,000 and 8, 2009 when they did the occupy Wall Street, Yeah. Movement, which was, again, completely grass roots by by, creation because, some some, NGOs decided to get, acorn, is, was one of them that got together and said, Hey, we need to get to all the teenagers together and let the or not teenagers, but the college kids. I'll all have sit in the middle of Wall Street and protest the financing financial sector, which was funny because the financial sector hasn't been in Wall Street since the eighties, early since the nineties.
They spread out their their upper, on the upper, upper Manhattan area. They're, you know, they move. They're not on Wall Street anymore. Wall Street is just a name of a street now with a bull that sits on the sidewalk. And some dumb guy who decided he was gonna add to the, add to the effect of of Wall Street, the Wall Street bull and put the little girl that's with her hands on her hips.
[01:45:24] Rich Chelson:
So Right.
[01:45:26] Bryan Goodwin:
But it's just and those
[01:45:29] Rich Chelson:
Well, you see, that's the thing, though. If you if you if you look at it, I mean, every generation, we've had something for for years.
[01:45:39] Bryan Goodwin:
No, I mean, often. Yeah. In the, in the S you had, and the boomers, the boomers had, had their, the protest in the cities.
[01:45:49] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:45:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Gen x didn't have a really big protest. We weren't bitching about anything. We were too busy trying to find ways of making money and having a good time and enjoying the line. You say you say well, yeah. But think about it. From the sixties
[01:46:02] Rich Chelson:
all the way now for the okay. From 64 to now, that's 60 years. There was only about a 20 year span in there with, Gen X, which is us, that no. We didn't really protest anything because we were out kicking ass.
[01:46:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And but we did then I will say we did drop the ball. When when the iron curtain fell, we dropped the ball. We should have been on the lookout for communism to come back. Right. And we were asleep during the communism. Now we've got the freaking red diaper doper babies that are teaching the students and call it.
[01:46:44] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But
[01:46:46] Bryan Goodwin:
And that that's our fault. And and the the the whiny ass kids that were, that were known as the millennials and and, and Gen z. It that that's that's our fault too whether we like to admit it or not. Well, you know what? Either way, though, life will fix it. Oh, yeah. No. Life life comes along and there's a hard teacher. But, yeah, that that teacher's gonna bitch slap the crap out of anybody who whines. Well, you know what? Welcome to the real world. Exactly. No. That's Is I mean, exactly. My daughter quickly realized that. She many times, she called me up crying and boohooing about something about how hard it was living out on the real world. And I was like, yeah.
It sucks. You're gonna get the hang of it, though. And when you do, you're going to love your life a lot more. Right. It sucks balls. I guarantee you, kids. It does. And if you're if you're gen z, you're gen alpha, alright, this is more towards you. Yes. It is going to suck balls. Growing up, having to mature, it's uncomfortable. You're going to be wanting to to go out and explore the world and you're only gonna have $3 to your name. You're not gonna be able to do shit. You're right. You're not gonna even have enough money to take the car to work. You're gonna have to get up 2 hours earlier to hoof it to work sometime. You're gonna have to find somebody, become friends with somebody that goes, hey, man. I don't have any gas. Could you come by, pick me up, and take me to work with you tomorrow?
You Those are things you have to do. You have to start building a network. Sitting there too busy playing on your damn phone's not gonna do him. You've got to step up, grow up, do Shut up. What you really don't wanna have to. I mean, this is not fair. No one said life was fair.
[01:48:46] Rich Chelson:
No. That is not one statement that has ever been uttered that's saying life is fair. No. That's never
[01:48:54] Bryan Goodwin:
been uttered. No. It's never fair. But There are gonna be those who have things that you want and you're gonna wish that you could have those things. And you can't. You just had to work harder than that person did to get it. Right. And now in all honesty, you probably don't even know the full story and what that person had to cry crawl through to get To get it. To get what they have that you want. Right. Why did they have why did they have a $1,000,000 in the bank? Oh, probably because they didn't get 5 bucks coffee every single day.
They probably went with lettuce sandwiches and and ramen noodle soup for a couple of years. I know a guy who in Amarillo. He lived in his car on purpose so that he could take every, every cent that he made and roll it into his business. Right. He didn't wanna have to spend extra money on on electricity or paying for rent or paying on any other type of unneeded luxury. And now this dude owns a freaking subdivision. He builds houses just so he can rent out. That's cool. This dude is a gabajillionaire. Right. Right.
[01:50:12] Rich Chelson:
And, that's And see and see, that's the thing. He went out and did that himself and Yeah. He sacrificed all the all the grandkids want want someone to give it to them. Yeah.
[01:50:26] Bryan Goodwin:
It's like, no. It don't work like that. And so many kids stand around and they they have bought into the whole communist, line of thinking that things should be given to them. And it's like, no. Well, I Because because they're like, well, I we should. All we do is we work for this for so that we can actually have a place to live and sleep. It's like, yeah. That's true. And guess what? If you increase the value, you get to live and sleep in a nicer area. Mhmm. If you do crappy, then guess what? You have to actually sleep in a crappier area. It's like, well, we don't have that should it shouldn't be like that according to who.
Right. If you if you lived in in Russia back in the Soviet era, if you lived in North Korea now, you're still going to end up busting your ass from sun up Actually longer from before the sun gets up to after the sun goes down doing bat breaking work for less food. You're gonna get like a half a bowl of rice and that's all you get to have because you did a good job. Yeah. And, in Russia, there was lines for soup. There was line bread lines, famous bread lines of of Russia because there wasn't enough bread, and people had to stand in line. This is like great Russian, you know, everything is provided by the government. No. The guy when it's all provided for the government, nobody wins. Nope. No one wins. If you're wanting to if you have the incentive to work hard, well, we shouldn't have to eat. You have to work. You have to work to eat. Even if we didn't have a government, you were out in the middle of Savannah, you still would be getting up, going out, hunting food. Guess what, folks? That's work. And you don't always guarantee getting the habit of that antelope at the end of the day. Right. Mhmm. You may be eating some really sour, bitter tasting berries that you really can't, aren't sure if they're poisonous or not.
[01:52:25] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That you stole from a chipmunk.
[01:52:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly. You you robbed a chipmunk for them, man. You're you you It's it's it's rough life out there. But again, thanks to capitalism, you have a computer that is more powerful than what got us to the moon in your hand. You have 10,000 television shows at your at your choosing on a television screen that is the size of your freaking wall. I was growing up, We had I think a 24 inch was a huge freaking television. Oh my god. A 24 inch was like he's at the movies, dude. Oh, hell yeah. You can actually sit at the back of the back of the living room, on the couch, and what, you know, granted it weighed a ton and a half.
Yeah. But it, and you were really cool if it also had the stereo and the record player up, in it too, which we had. Oh, you were just high cotton. Hell, yeah. We were. Yeah. It had the 8 track. It had the it had the record player and the radio, and and it had television. So it was an amazing set. It was the entertainment system.
[01:53:43] Duuude-Ron :
It Yeah. You're right. The entertainment entertainment system. And when you say it weighed a ton and a half,
[01:53:51] Bryan Goodwin:
you are correct. It's a literal ton and a half of me.
[01:53:54] Duuude-Ron :
You whatever put whatever location in your house you wanted it, that is where it was gonna stay because nobody was gonna try and fucking move that motherfucker around. No one was stealing that bitch. No. Right. And and you ain't gonna
[01:54:11] Bryan Goodwin:
it 10 years later and it you finally got a new television, you moved it, there was an indention in your carpet for the rest of the time you had that carpet. Oh, yeah. I guarantee.
[01:54:22] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You had. Yeah. It was it was that indention had been there so long. There was no re reraising it. No.
[01:54:31] Bryan Goodwin:
No raking of that shag carpet would get that damn thing up. Nope.
[01:54:38] Duuude-Ron :
Without without a doubt.
[01:54:40] Rich Chelson:
Mister Brian, I I I think it,
[01:54:46] Bryan Goodwin:

[01:59:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Absolutely. And and and, dude, we the last words you got.
[01:59:31] Duuude-Ron :
And the last words that I have for this evening is, again, the one thing that I will always reiterate. 22 a day is 22 too many of veterans committing suicide on a daily basis. If you have a friend that is a veteran that is showing signs of depression, just that is got a lot on their shoulders that they just need to get off of their shoulders. Get get in contact with any of the veteran friends that you have and ask them, hey. Are you doing okay? Is there anything that I can do for you? And a lot of times is, the only thing that the the one thing that they would love to have is your time just to listen.
And hopefully, just by somebody listening to a friend that is a vet, you might have saved them from being one of those 22 a day that commit suicide in the United States. And that's 22 a day That is too many for, depression and, suicidal, rate for veterans. So stay in touch with your veteran friends. And if they're if you feel that they need to to somebody to for them to listen to, you know what? That is probably one of the best things you can do is just be an ear to let them vent and let them get it off their chest. And a lot of the times, that's all they're needing to do.
Right. So and for all the veterans that are out there listening, the problem that a permanent solution to a fixable problem is never it won't change the problem. So try to find a different way to change the problem or to, again, talk to somebody because there's a lot of us out there that have no problems. If you give me a call at 2 o'clock in the morning and you got something on your mind and it is to the point where you think you're gonna do that particular act, yeah, you damn right I'll answer the phone and listen to you. Absolutely.
[02:02:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Absolutely. So Yeah. Alright, guys. I hope y'all have yourselves a good rest of the week. We will see y'all next, next Thursday. And I'm I'm gonna do a little examination, see what I can do on getting a live show going for us. And, and next week also, Rich, I'm gonna we're gonna see what we can do on expanding one of the options that we do on this show. And I'm gonna leave it at that just so and we'll talk it out during the show. How about that? So Okay.
