Bryan Goodwin:
Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude, this is a show that each week allows for three friends to get together and live life intentionally.
[00:00:11] Rich Chelson:
We do this by throwing a little social commentary with our own weird sense of humor and our thoughts together to show folks that living having weekly conversations is a good way to help each other out, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Brian, Rich, and the dude.
[00:00:34] Duuude-Ron :
Mister Brian.
[00:00:40] Unknown:
There we go.
[00:00:41] Duuude-Ron :
There you go. There you go. There you are.
[00:00:47] Rich Chelson:
So you're back home again home again?
[00:00:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I got home last night. God, it was I don't like flying.
[00:00:57] Rich Chelson:
Bet not.
[00:00:58] Duuude-Ron :
Do not. Although the ride back was nice was nicer than the ride out for sure, but I still don't like flying.
[00:01:10] Rich Chelson:
No. No. I mean, I used to enjoy flying. I used used to be kinda nice, but these days, no. It's just they've it is degraded to the point that it is absurd.
[00:01:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And, you know, in, May, if if I read the sign right, you have to have a real ID or or a passport card or something to fly in The United States?
[00:01:39] Rich Chelson:
Well, ain't that gonna be cool?
[00:01:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I mean, I I've got the real ID. I've got, you know, the passport card. I mean, I I can fly, but it's just the fact that, yeah, if you don't have it, you don't have a choice. If you want to fly in in the Continental United States, you have to have it.
[00:01:58] Rich Chelson:
Ain't it funny how they go off and start restricting interstate travel?
[00:02:03] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right.
[00:02:06] Rich Chelson:
In our own state. Oh, you can't fly. You can't go there that fast unless you have this, this approved, approved form of identification. It's like, well, what happened to the driver's license?
[00:02:18] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Exactly. Hold on a second.
[00:02:21] Rich Chelson:
You've got somebody wanting to get ahold of you. Yeah. Answer the phone with I don't need this isn't even my desk.
[00:02:39] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. I'm back. Alright. But, yeah, I was, yeah, it was my nephew, trying to video chat me. I said he saw my headphones on. He's like, oh, I said, I'm podcasting. He said, how long? I said, three hours. I'll call you later. Alright.
[00:02:59] Rich Chelson:
Where's Ron? Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron.
[00:03:03] Duuude-Ron :
So, yeah, it was yeah. I tell you what, I damn near I damn near said fuck it and turned around and flew home once I got to Dallas. Oh, no shit. Really? Yeah. Well well, storms had I I mean, it wasn't the airline's fault. Right. Or or anything like this, but, I mean, because the storms had screwed things up. And I left from Gulfport, and we got behind and didn't make it to Dallas in time to catch my flight
[00:03:37] Unknown:
Oh.
[00:03:38] Duuude-Ron :
And everything because of the storms. And then I had to wait till the next morning, okay Uh-huh. To fly up to Northwest Arkansas, and and it was set for, I don't know, like, 06:40 or something. And it was, like, four or 05:00 in the morning. And, they had pushed it to, like, 09:00. And then it was, like, seven, seven thirty, and and and then they just canceled it. Just canceled the fucking flight. And, you know, of course, I'm I'm I'm on the phone with, you know, Matt and Dee and stuff like that. Hey. Fucking help me figure this shit out. I don't, you know, I don't do this shit. And so, there was another flight, and, so it was it was sketchy because I I I went to the gate for it.
And then I had asked the guy, I said, is this good? He's like, yeah. I can I can get you on this flight? And then, like, they were boarding the plane, fixing to board the plane. The guy looks at me, and he says, no. You have to go to customer service. And that's up and around in yeah. Because the Dallas Fort Worth terminal is a freaking nightmare. Yep. Oh my god. So you went to you actually flew into DFW and not Love Field then? No. I flew into D N Fucking W. Oh my god. Dude, Skynet. Skynet is is is running strong in DFW.
[00:05:13] Rich Chelson:
I bet it.
[00:05:14] Duuude-Ron :
Because, they got these little tram cars that run along run along the outside of Oh, yeah. All the terminals. You know? And I had to ride one, get over on the other side, and then, I wound up I had to ride another one because they changed the gate. And the first time I got on, there was a whole bunch of people on. I didn't you know, I just like, whatever. Okay. Let's go. And then second time, there wasn't so many people on. I I you know, I figured I'd jump on and and, ride by the driver. Right? Right. I ain't no driver.
[00:05:52] Rich Chelson:
Uh-uh.
[00:05:54] Duuude-Ron :
No driver, what so never. And I was like, oh, fuck. Robot's coming for us. I was like, oh, shit. They've invaded DFW. I want dude, I was I was nervous, you know, because, I mean, I I mean, seriously, it's like it's like when we came up to a stop, you know, there's a voice come up, you know, blah blah blah, you know, and they and no driver. I'm like, oh god. Didn't know. I was freaking out. Recordings. Yeah. I'm like, I don't like this. You know? I I mean
[00:06:26] Rich Chelson:
those trams there in in the DFW area for since at least since the eighties, because I remember riding on them in the eighties. So now they may have updated them and made them all a little more expensive, but, yeah, they're they've been there forever.
[00:06:43] Duuude-Ron :
Well, this this first time I had ever seen anything like that, and so or or had experienced anything like that. So, you know, I'm sitting here thinking I'm in I'm in, the fucking Man, I'm outside of I'm outside of Missouri for sure. Right. Right. And and I was just like, oh, hell no. And but, yeah, right at the last minute, I got my ticket straight, and they they fucking let me on the plane. And, well, I'd called Matt. I was pissed by this this thing because I because I you know, it wasn't his fault, you know, but still it was just I hadn't had no sleep. You know, I was I was I was hurting to beat hell because you gotta walk every fucking place. Oh, yeah. You know, and shit like this. And it was just it was just pain in the ass. And, you know, I was talking to Matt on the phone, and I told him, I said, Bubba, I said, I'll tell you right now. If this shit don't get off quick, my ass goes the fuck home.
I coulda drove here faster than it took me to get there to fly. Right. Seriously. I mean, it was it was supposed to be a total time of three hours to go from here, DFW, and XNA. Total time of three hours. Yeah. About that, it took over, what, twelve? Say seven. Yeah.
[00:08:05] Unknown:
And it takes about twelve hours.
[00:08:07] Duuude-Ron :
It's almost
[00:08:09] Rich Chelson:
air airline travel has almost gotten as bad as bus travel.
[00:08:14] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Well, we'll say on the way back, though, the flights on the way back, three hours. Oh. Pretty good. Well well well, three and a half hours. Because I left out of Lexington, Kentucky, went to Charlotte, jumped on a plane there, and was back in Gulfport. Yeah. So, yeah, I left at 06:00. So well, what the time zone difference, about four hours total time with the labor. So Wow. So yeah. It yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. When I was up there, I told Matt, I said, next time? My I said, well, first off, I'm I'm never moving you again. So you just might as well light a torch to the fucking house and walk away because I'm not helping.
[00:09:04] Rich Chelson:
I'm done. Yep. If you wanna move, then I would suggest suggest Atlas Van Lines and let them pick shit up and they move it over.
[00:09:12] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I guess I guess he called a moving company, and they said something like starting at $10.
[00:09:18] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's it's stupid. It's You know? Yeah.
[00:09:23] Duuude-Ron :
So so yeah. You you know? But but he told me he said, nah, dude. I ain't move I ain't moving again. I said, that's good because my ass ain't gonna help you. Because I ain't moving your ass. I mean, hey. I don't know. I mean I mean I mean, the trip was was okay, you know, and everything. Going out there was okay. It was it it was just fucking rough, whatever. But it's just the fact that I had to fly, and I could've drove there faster. So Yeah. Yeah.
[00:09:53] Rich Chelson:
It would've seemed prettier countryside too.
[00:09:56] Duuude-Ron :
That's for damn sure.
[00:09:58] Rich Chelson:
Because hell, you don't have to go off and go from from Mississippi over to Dallas back up to to to Central Arkansas. You can just drive to our Central Arkansas.
[00:10:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Exactly. I mean, I can I can stay in Mississippi for most for half the way, cross into Arkansas, and be in Arkansas the other half? Yep.
[00:10:20] Unknown:
And it would've been cheaper too.
[00:10:23] Duuude-Ron :
Right. But yeah. No. I so, yeah, that's that's, that was my, experience with flying. And it was funny when I went through TSA here in Gulfport, I had to take out my CPAP, my tablet, damn near strip naked Yeah. Get my picture took of my whole body and, get groped, which, yeah, I I wasn't happy about that, but whatever. And, and so but but after that, I I was never groped or I still got my picture took, but they didn't have to have me pull my CPAP out and that I even carried a lighter,
[00:11:13] Rich Chelson:
a BIC lighter in my pocket. Accomplish that because you're not supposed to allow that to happen.
[00:11:19] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, it's funny because when I was in Gulfport, talk to us because Gulfport still has a smoking lounge after we go through TSA. And, I was talking with the lady because I didn't bring a lighter or nothing because I didn't think I could. And this lady looked at me and she said, I fly all over the place. She said, in fact, I just got back from Japan. And she says, I carry ladders all the time. She says, they see them, but they don't touch them. Okay. Cool. So I brought one back with me. I stole it from the hat, but you know? Yeah. I'll have it still. Right. But yeah. So so, yeah, I was I was never so glad to see my Jeep.
I'm serious, man. I was I was walking. I was still a ways away, and I hit the button. I'm like, oh, shit. I heard her. I heard her. Where is she at? And, you know, it was dark. I couldn't see. And, so, I kept I kept hitting the buttons, and then I heard her and saw her. And I'm like, yeah. There we go. Okay. I'm happy. Yeah. I miss my Jeep. I I I I'm I'm not leaving my Jeep again.

[00:12:54] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. It is. You you have to have your ID just to get into TSA. And then when they take a picture of you, it's your whole body. You gotta hold your hands up over your head, and and they go, and they take a picture of your whole body and make sure you ain't carrying nothing.
[00:13:12] Unknown:

[00:49:23] Unknown:
And that's why I only run my mouth these days. That's just that's the only running I do. That's the only running I do. So I guess I shouldn't piss too many people off that have guns.

And first, they, they went through and, wanted to do go ahead and do a, fit for, fit for work exam Yep. Which was where they go through. It's like, can you, you know, your, your blood pressure okay, yada yada yada. And then they went off and, and, had me do 20 squats. Just squat down, stand up, squat down, stand up, do that 20 times. Mhmm. And then walk up two steps, walk back down, two steps of a of a step ladder, do that 10 times. Man, that was just a combination of first just to see if my you know, I didn't make sure I didn't have any type of knee problems or anything like that, knee, hip problems, but also to get my blood, my my pulse, my heart rate up so they could, check and make sure that there wasn't anything there. So it's kinda like a little little, moderate, stress test.
And, then after that, they had me carry basically pick 50 pounds up off the ground, walk, like, 15 feet, put it on to a put it on to a counter, and then pick it back up, move it back, put it, put it on the floor, and basically repeat that also 10 times.
[01:00:28] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, hell no. So
[01:00:31] Rich Chelson:
thing I found out about that, my legs are out of shape. You think? I woke up this morning, and I was sore. I was like, what the hell is with my legs? Why are they so oh, yeah. I did all those 20 squats and walked up to this, you know, tens. There's basically two steps times 10, so 20 steps. It's like well, walked up and down 10 times, so that's ten forty steps. It's like, god dang, man. My legs won't let stand out. Let's get out of the truck, stand up, and go to stretch and be like, oh god. Oh oh oh oh oh, what the hell? Yep. Yep. So so yeah. Yeah. My

You know, I resembled that remark.
[01:01:19] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It was it was kind of a, bit of a, of a learning experience. I'm gonna have to now start doing, doing about 20 squats every day just to get my to get my endurance up. Can't be having legs get sore just because I'm walking a little bit, especially if I ever plan on completing my, checking off my bucket list to walk walking the Camino De Santiago. Right. Right.

Throw in some bacon and oh my god. You're fixing to have an orgasm.
[01:08:54] Unknown:
Now that that salt and pepper can taste can have anything taste good. I will definitely disagree with you on that one.

He looks at me, and he's like, I don't really care. I said, do you know this is gonna be a culture shock for her? He's like he started laughing. He's like, yep. Because it was funny. Not long after that, we saw a we saw a lady walking down the street, and she wasn't in her right mind.
And and and it wasn't very long after we saw our d comes out. Did you see that crack here walking down the street? I just turned around and started laughing. I'm like, welcome to Kentucky. You know, it happens everywhere. You know? I'm not just picking on Kentucky, but, yeah, this is Dee Who is? Who's lived in the city. And and, oh my god, if if if if everything ain't right, you know, you know, if it's not the way she thinks it should, she loses it. I was just I was just thinking it's like, oh my god. She is gonna just eat it up here.
[01:17:18] Rich Chelson:
You know? Yep. Gonna have to learn to slow down a little bit, and that's for sure.
[01:17:23] Duuude-Ron :
Honestly, I don't I don't know if she can. One of her biggest things is is, going to the Walmart. I'm I'm dead serious, man. I mean I mean, she is all about that day in Walmart. And,
[01:17:43] Unknown:
I mean, good. We'll see how long she'll be about all about that Walmart driving a fucking hour just to get to it.
[01:17:54] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, she'll do it, dude. She don't care.
[01:17:57] Rich Chelson:
Once she realizes how far and stuff and that she has to get what she wants, she'll she'll get very comfortable in in making the proper choices. Nah. You know, I don't know because when they lived in Montana, Walmart was up in in Kalispell, and that was over 50 miles away. And, when were they even living in Montana? When were they living in mon oh, no. No. They were looking at moving to, to Idaho. That's who it was. I was like, why? Wait. Wait. Wait. They moved up there and then suddenly they're
[01:18:27] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. No. No. They no. This was back in, 2016 Okay. 2015.
[01:18:34] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You don't wanna live in Montana. Montana's cold.
[01:18:37] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. No. No. It's too cold for me. But Yep. It's not true. But Oh, yeah.
[01:18:44] Unknown:
Except for when it's cold and the fucking wind is blowing at 60 miles an hour.
[01:18:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Which is nine months out of the year. Winter is like yeah. Winter's like nine months out of the year. I mean, it it it still snows in June up there. Okay? I know because I I saw it with my own eyes. Well,
[01:19:05] Unknown:
my ass ain't going up there.
[01:19:07] Duuude-Ron :
But well, you see, when they lived up there, the nearest decent jobs was Kalispell, and that was over 50 miles from where we lived out out in the middle of fucking nowhere. And, every day when, when, Dee went to work, she had to go to Walmart every single day. And, I mean, she was always coming home with stuff. I mean, she is totally hooked on the Walmart. So I I don't know if she'll ever give the Walmart up or not. She might maybe in twenty years, but I ain't holding my breath.
[01:20:06] Unknown:
You know? Yes. I do my shopping at Walmart. But for me to have to fuck. I ain't too Yeah. No. I am I try to be in and out just because I really don't wanna be there in the first place.
[01:20:30] Duuude-Ron :
Right. No. No. You see you see, you go to the Walmart just to do your shopping and get out. You don't go just to go. Or or like like like, oh, I I need a pack of pens. I need to go to Walmart. You don't do that. She
[01:20:48] Unknown:

[01:21:02] Rich Chelson:
No, sir. Of course not. That's a cheap people place. Hey. Again, I resemble that remark. Oh, I'm not you ain't hearing me complain about it. I'm Okay.
[01:21:17] Duuude-Ron :
I'm a cheap old better student. Honestly, Dollar General got almost too expensive for me. Dollar General's getting really freaking expensive. Absolutely.
[01:21:26] Unknown:
Yeah. I know. It's no longer Dollar General. It's dollar fifty five General. Yeah. Right. Right. Well, the dollar store is two bits. Yeah. And the dollar store is four and a quarter.
[01:21:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:21:50] Unknown:
So I know that I came into the converse again, came into the conversation late. So our who did you interview with?
[01:21:58] Rich Chelson:
Gore Nitrogen. It's an oilfield company. Yeah. Oilfield company. The only thing that they talked about, though, that I heard and the first thing I thought of is, oh, that's not gonna be fun. They apparently have the same damn system in their trucks that you have in yours.
[01:22:16] Unknown:
Now you said whatever nitrogen. Gore? Yeah. Are you gonna be hauling nitrogen?
[01:22:25] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. I mean, the way they the reason why they call themselves Gore Nitrogen is because they started off being nitrogen frack company. And Oh. What they with, nitrogen fracking, what they did is they took liquid nitrogen and would pump it down hole. And so it would go down at a lower pressure. So if you have a really high pressure, well that you've gotta get broke up, you would use liquid nitrogen because once it got went down hole, it's hot down there. So all that air all that nitrogen is gonna expand.
[01:23:02] Unknown:
Well, yeah, the the difference between liquid nitrogen and compressed nitrogen or even atmospheric is three I'd I'd have to get back in the book, but it's, like, several thousand like, one cubic cubic inch of liquid will expand to, like, 1,800 cubic feet of gas.
[01:23:36] Rich Chelson:
Something like that. Yeah. I don't believe that. Something like that. Yeah.
[01:23:43] Unknown:
And like I said, I'd have to get back in the books to fucking remember what all the gas's expansion aspect is from liquid to gas. So that when they did that, that's where their name came about, but they don't do
[01:23:59] Rich Chelson:
the nitrogen Well, they still do some of that. They do a bit what's called now called, foam fracking. And, basically, they send, basically, a foam. From what I understand, I'm not because I wasn't whenever I was in the land of of hydraulic fracturing, I was we were doing slick wells, slick water. Basically, it was a water it was a they would take water, mix it with a chemical that was a friction reducer for water. And so it'd be the slimy, nasty shit. You got it on your gloves. You could never wash it off, and it would crust up, and then you take it take it off. The moment your hands got wet again, it would slime up again. You never could get rid of the shit.
But, but it was, but, yeah, they would do, basically use, use slick water and and sand and send that down the well using just the pump pressures of the, of the machines themselves.
[01:25:06] Unknown:
So So so what are you actually going to be, driving?
[01:25:14] Rich Chelson:
I'm gonna be driving. Basically, it's a Freightliner, but it's a day cab. And What
[01:25:21] Unknown:
what are you hauling?
[01:25:23] Rich Chelson:
Hauling a frac sand. Oh, okay. So I'll, basically, what I'll do is in the morning, well, depending on shift because we work twelve hour shifts. We start off, six nights at night. You get twenty four hours off, six nights of days, and then we have six nights or six days off. So we, have a we have six days of days and nights, so six full days of of, being absolutely off. Don't have to don't have to worry about calling. Unless you wanna go and work some more, and then you can go back in and you can work and, for four more days, and you take another day off. I think you could then work two days four off.
Forget how they did it. Or just work two more days, you're off a day, two more days, then you're off another day. So Anyhow, they they want you to do a twenty four hour reset before you get back go back in so that, you have plenty of time.
[01:26:31] Unknown:
Right. So, basically, you're gonna be gone from the house for two weeks to work. Time. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
[01:26:41] Rich Chelson:
So
[01:26:44] Duuude-Ron :
And where are they working at? I mean, is it they are the
[01:26:49] Rich Chelson:
Basically, right now, they are the biggest hydraulic fracturing company in Oklahoma. They had one instance back in 2015 where they did layoff. The last few, slow periods that they had, like in, like, in '20 what would that been? 2020, '20 '1, about the time where all of a sudden there was too much, too much oil, or no. That was in the, that was yeah. No. That was during, during the Wuhan flu. No. No. That was during when was that? I don't know. Yeah. It was during Wuhan Flu period. It was March of twenty twenty. Shortly there or shortly thereafter, after March 2020 or that area because, yeah, Trump was still in office, and that's when oil got so low that it actually was negative $25 a barrel.
You Yeah. Could actually would've been paid by the oil companies to take oil off their hands. Yeah. I remember that. And so there was there was that, and where it got real flow in that period, they, they actually took a took a hit in their profits, but they kept everybody on. They just found stuff for people to do. It might have been that you were sleep sweeping out the corners, of all the buildings. You know? You might be sweeping the dirt in the parking lot or whatever, but they were gonna find something for you to do so that you could at least and they may they dropped them down to eight hours at a time, but they were still working.
[01:28:37] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[01:28:39] Rich Chelson:
So and it's $27 an hour. So and I'll be getting my hazmat because if you get your hazmat, then they bump you up to $28 an hour. So it's like, alright. Well and then if I need to and and I have to move to to Central Texas, I guess I could always just run over to Temple and go, hey. I know I know this Ron dude. He I know he's kind of a jerk, but I I can work with him.
[01:29:08] Unknown:
Yeah. He would be. Man, that that that sounds like that guy's a real fucking asshole. Yeah. Major dickhead.

[01:29:49] Rich Chelson:

[01:33:04] Duuude-Ron :
Oh my bad.
[01:33:07] Unknown:
God. It's free.
[01:33:13] Duuude-Ron :
That would hold your stuff, dude.
[01:33:15] Rich Chelson:
It would hold stuff. Plus half a cow. No. I thought it's just I'd never heard of a of a 60 gallon cooler before. It's like, holy crap, man. That's that's what,
[01:33:28] Unknown:
fucking Matt had in his, camping trailer for the alcohol. Oh, was it? Yeah. That was a 60 gallon tour cooler. Yeah. They had two of them in there.
[01:33:39] Duuude-Ron :
Holly.
[01:33:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Those big coolers. Yeah.
[01:33:45] Rich Chelson:
It's insane.
[01:33:48] Duuude-Ron :
You you you had never seen them bacons? I guess not. Yeah. No. They got they got some massive ones, dude.
[01:34:00] Rich Chelson:
Hell, I need a semi truck just to be able to transport it.
[01:34:05] Unknown:
Well, I put it to you like this. It would not fit into the fucking cab of a day cab.
[01:34:12] Rich Chelson:
That's for damn sure. I'd have to go off, get, get some ratchet straps and and and strap it to the into the, the catwalk on the back. Yeah. Yeah. Yes.
[01:34:24] Unknown:
Pretty much. Arbor freight. Would have to do that. Arbor freight. Yep.
[01:34:30] Duuude-Ron :
Get you ready? And and freaking get the automatic ones. Those things are freaking nice, man. Automatic ratchet straps. What? Yeah. Yeah. You just oh, it's it's it's cool as shit. They're they're, like, on a little spool. You you hook the, end where the spool's at, hold the other end over your stuff, hook it on, and then hit a button, and it tightens up. Very slick. And and and, taking it off is just as easy. Just hit the button, and it releases it. And oh, yeah. I I didn't know they made them either till, say, was it last year or sometime? But, Matt had some, and he's like, oh, check this shit out. And he pulled them out. I'm like, look at you getting all fucking bougie.
What the hell, dude? And but yeah. And I wanna say, I wanna say Harbor Freight's got them. They're, like, ten, twelve foot, you know, but, yeah, they're you just and, actually, once you use them once or twice, you'll be like, why the fuck haven't I found these before?
[01:35:39] Rich Chelson:
You know? Because it it it makes sense to me. It hasn't applied enough tension on it to to hold everything tight? You can ratchet it too. Oh, okay. Okay. So it just sucks it all up for, all the all the loose up. So Yeah. Yeah.
[01:35:55] Duuude-Ron :
And then and then you ratchet a couple times, you know, snug it up. And then and then when you're done, just just hit the button, and it'll loosen it, and you can take it off. I don't know that. They're actually pretty dadgum slick, dude.
[01:36:12] Rich Chelson:
I agree.
[01:36:13] Duuude-Ron :
I mean, I don't have any personally, but I've used a couple of them. And I'm just like, damn. Where have these been my whole life? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It makes strapping a whole lot easier.
[01:36:33] Rich Chelson:
And it'll let the let the guys over here at the Up to Grove know about about that. Too bad they don't have them for trailers.
[01:36:42] Duuude-Ron :
You know, I don't know if they do.
[01:36:44] Rich Chelson:
They probably don't. I'm sure DOT would I'm sure there's something about DOT rules that requires manual labor.
[01:36:52] Duuude-Ron :
So I think it could be. I mean, those straps, they're I think they're rated for, like, a thousand pounds. And Oh, okay. Yeah. They're those are little little one inch straps then. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Your four inches are, what, 4,700 if I remember right? 57. 50 7. Okay.
[01:37:14] Unknown:
Well, you know what? Just get yourself a cordless drill. Yeah. Get yourself a, you know, a little, you know, your own invention type thing and, you know, put it on the strap and, you you know, turn on the drill and it'll take up all that you want. Oh, they've
[01:37:35] Duuude-Ron :
they've got a winder tool for them four inch straps. You can put your drill on it and and Yeah. Yeah. Wind up a four inch strap. I know I had one when I flatbed it. I thought I thought that thing wasn't anything since cupcakes.
[01:37:49] Unknown:
Okay. Well, yeah.
[01:37:51] Duuude-Ron :
You know, when you're sitting there rolling up four inch straps, rolling up, you know, 10 or 12 of them, that takes By hand? Yeah. By hand. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It no. Fuck that. Yep. You get this. I think I paid, like, $60 for that little tool, and it's nothing really to make. It just it just sits on the rail, and it's it's a forked thing. And you just Yeah. Spin it with your hand, but, oh my god, it it saves so much time.
[01:38:21] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I've seen them. I've never had one, but I've seen them.
[01:38:27] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I like to.
[01:38:29] Unknown:
Yeah. I'm sure. But, you know, our pallets are we have ratchet straps that, secure the pallets onto the onto the back. But
[01:38:42] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:38:43] Unknown:
They're what? That strap is only what? I think my tails are, like, 12 inches long after I get done tightening the straps. Oh. Yeah. So, yeah, not not quite the as difficult of a as flat bedding life is. No. Hopefully, I'll never have to go through that shit.
[01:39:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. What Come on now. Builds character, dude.
[01:39:25] Unknown:
Now, you know, just getting there, at in there in the morning. Make sure that my that, you know, I got everything on the truck that I need to have on it. Get my paperwork. Get my, haz or my, manifest hazmat, and just go to the destination, unload, reload, come back, and then go to fuck home. That's what's nice about this. I'm home every night.
[01:40:01] Rich Chelson:

[01:40:05] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I'm home every night too.
[01:40:07] Unknown:
Yeah. We know. Fuck you. You're home every day too. You know? Right. Any any fucking thing else you wanna, like, you know, add to the conversation within that aspects, asshole?
[01:40:24] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I did find out I'm still fighting to get my fucking title.
[01:40:29] Rich Chelson:
I think I was that was fucking resolved.
[01:40:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So did I. And and and, I was last time I talked to him, I was told it was in progress, that Mississippi had the title. And today, I called the state and talked to him, and they're like, no. The title is not in the system. I'm like, what the fuck? So so I had called back to,
[01:40:55] Rich Chelson:
Broadcaster and
[01:40:59] Duuude-Ron :
had to had to, call them again and and because they sent the title. I've I've got I've got the delivery receipt from back in January. Okay? They don't have the actual title, so it's somewhere in Mississippi.
[01:41:17] Unknown:
Oh, that's yeah. Okay.
[01:41:19] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right. It would be in a fucking landfill right now. But, so so I had to call back to Bridgecrest and get they, they made a copy of paperwork, you know, saying my title and stuff like this. And, they, they they sent it to me. They were real helpful. I was I was actually happy for that. It was real helpful. And, so I've gotta send this to, Mississippi, and they say they can issue me a Mississippi title off of what I'm fixing to send them, apparently. So I'm gonna try this again. But, yeah, yeah, somehow, my title got lost. I was told it was in Mississippi. They were working on it, and then I'm told today it's not even in the system.
And I'm told awful. The hell. Yeah. It's this is
[01:42:18] Unknown:
So are you gonna go down in person to do this?
[01:42:22] Duuude-Ron :
No. I can't, dude. I can't because they do the titles in in the state
[01:42:28] Unknown:
at the state. I understand that, but can you take the paperwork that you're gonna get to generate the title? Because, obviously, you're not gonna get the title. It's being held by the lienholder.
[01:42:42] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. No. Right. It is. I you see, that's the thing. I don't know because if I mean, you know, if I took it down there, I I mean, honestly,
[01:42:56] Unknown:
I couldn't It sounds like anything that gets mailed as far as the title for your vehicle, it just comes to a fucking nightmare. And when do you have to title a fucking vehicle by?
[01:43:07] Duuude-Ron :
The end of last month.
[01:43:11] Unknown:
Nice.
[01:43:12] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right. So yeah. But, I mean, I've I've got they emailed me the paperwork, so I could probably print this out and take this in and try it tomorrow and see if that'll fly. But I'm almost scared to even try that. But I've I've I've got I've got the copy the certificate of title PDF from from Bridgecrest. They emailed it to me, so I've got it to where it was registered in Missouri. But and the lady in, up in Jackson at the state said they can do it, I guess, off this piece of papers. You know, she said they like to have the actual title. It's like, honey, I ain't got the title.
The lien company don't have the title. They sent it. You know? Because the dude I was talking to today, he's like, you know, I could give you the tracking number, he says, but you you have it. I said, yes, sir. I've got the delivery receipt from back in January when they received it. So I don't know. I might I might print it out and take it up there and see if I can do something about it tomorrow. I just might email it to the state. I don't know. I know. Right now, I don't know what to do.
[01:44:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Because
[01:44:43] Rich Chelson:
irritating as can be.
[01:44:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It is.
[01:44:47] Unknown:
You know? Because right now, you have what? Thirty day grace Fifteen. Before they can fifteen? Well, yeah, that's in, like, fucking five days. I don't know. Right?
[01:45:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Exactly. Or
[01:45:02] Unknown:
the grace is actually up to where they can cite you for, you know
[01:45:10] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, no. They can cite me now. They can cite me now. And and and in four days is when they start adding on extra money.
[01:45:22] Unknown:
Oh.
[01:45:23] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They can yeah. If I get stopped, they can write me a ticket for for having expired tax. But in four days is when, DMV starts saying, okay. You owe us more money as late fees. And it's like, this is none of this is my fault. I have been trying to work on this since last, like, freaking year. And I thought I was making headway, but apparently not.
[01:45:58] Unknown:
Nope.
[01:46:00] Duuude-Ron :
Because, you see, every time I call them, I I write down the date and, you know, kind of a little blip of what of what, you know, was talked about, you know, the answers I found out. And so I've I've I've got I've got a list of every time I've called and everything. Bridgecrest or or the DMV. You know?
[01:46:31] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:46:32] Duuude-Ron :
So, I mean, I don't know why I just do it. So when I'm talking to somebody, because I don't get the same person every time, and sometimes I kinda have to reexplain everything.
[01:46:45] Unknown:
Oh, yeah.
[01:46:47] Duuude-Ron :
That's why I make notes.
[01:46:52] Unknown:
Absolutely. Well, hopefully, you don't get pulled over.
[01:46:57] Duuude-Ron :
I hope not. I hope not.
[01:47:03] Unknown:
Well, I would, you know, I would go in and say, you know, this is my situation. You know? Even though they can't do anything right there at the counter, but, you know, but then that that is somebody that you can go and revisit Right. You know, and to be able to, you know, hopefully get a status. And while you're there, once they find out the status, hopefully, you can get the damn vehicle registered.
[01:47:44] Duuude-Ron :
I I hope so. I mean, I really do. I I don't know. I'm I might try and print this off and take this in and, see if they can. Because on this piece of paper, it says the original motor vehicle title receipt. It's it's it's not the actual title, but it is it is the original motor vehicle title receipt. And it lists my information and the Jeep and,
[01:48:16] Unknown:
you know, and it has a But it's gonna list everything that's on the title, obviously, the VIN, the all that shit. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
[01:48:25] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So I don't know. Maybe maybe I'll go down there and and try and use this because other than that, yeah, I'm I'm lost. I don't know what to do. I really don't. Unless unless unless I ask for a duplicate title from Missouri. It's the only thing I can think of. Right. And then wait on that and then have, Missouri send it to me. And then I can go down and get it redone and tell them to send it to fucking Carvana. I don't care who holds the motherfucker just as long as it says Mississippi.
[01:49:15] Unknown:
Exactly. That's all I can do. Yeah. Yeah.
[01:49:22] Duuude-Ron :
You know, it's it's as simple as that. I don't care who holds the motherfucker. Just make it say Mississippi and let me pay for my tags.
[01:49:35] Unknown:
So Well, maybe if you take that down there, you may be able to renew the tags while this process is going through.
[01:49:48] Duuude-Ron :
Well yeah. Well yeah. Say say if they'll take this and and make a title off of it, that'll be done at the state level then, you know, if this will work, then they should be able to renew my tags right there on the spot, which which is what I would work.
[01:50:08] Unknown:
I would definitely take it in and see what they can do. Right. That kind of stuff.
[01:50:19] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. No. This is yeah. This was not
[01:50:24] Unknown:
It turned into a goddamn clusterfuck You think? Rather quickly. Because it's already gone past a gaggle screw. Now it's coming onto a cluster. A gaggle screw.
[01:50:37] Duuude-Ron :
That's a good one. I like that. Gaggles. Dude, where are you coming up with these, man? These are awesome.
[01:50:42] Unknown:
You you never, when you were in the army, ever heard gaggle screw?
[01:50:49] Duuude-Ron :
No. I'd never heard gaggle screw. I'd always just heard fuck. Oh, yeah.
[01:50:55] Unknown:
But never heard of a gaggle screw.
[01:50:58] Duuude-Ron :
No. Never never heard of a gaggle screw.
[01:51:02] Unknown:
Damn. Wow. I know we used it a lot on the eighty second, but, you know, I can't remember if we if I ever used it in the leg world. So you were a leg. Yeah. Yeah. I was a leg. Yeah. You're a leg, non airborne folk. The dirty nasty leg at that is what we always call them. Right. If you ain't airborne, you're a dirty nasty leg. Where the hell that came from? I have no idea. I never ever researched why non airborne folk are called legs. Don't have to worry about it. They don't they don't float it through the sky.
[01:51:52] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. That's true. Airplanes. They have to walk everywhere.
[01:51:55] Unknown:
That could be. That that very well could be. You got, you know, the airborne infantry that fly in, then you have the regular infantry that walks every place. Really? Okay. I could I can I can get that, but I still need to research it on where that saying came from in the first place? Because after you fucking drop, yeah, you fucking every bit of
[01:52:24] Duuude-Ron :
walking. Oh, that's true. Yeah. That's true.
[01:52:32] Unknown:
Yeah. You the eighty second, they didn't fucking jump into place and be able to get into vehicles. Hell no. Well, it's just You're you're kind of lamberfitties. Lambert.

They made a brigade tobacco run for cigarettes and Copenhagen dip was about, for the whole brigade. It was something like $40,000, and it took two Blackhawk helicopters filled with tobacco for the brigade run. To go get tobacco for everybody in the brigade. Well, shit. That's only thousand fucking people. No. Brigade. Yeah. Brigade task force is about a thousand people.
[01:54:56] Duuude-Ron :

[01:56:06] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. It it's sad. It won't it won't happen.
[01:56:10] Unknown:
No. Because if I was in the military, it sure the hell would never be a fucking smoke free military because I'd be the last one fucking holding out. Right.
[01:56:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's yeah. I went I went to the dock, and then, they asked me about my my smoking and all like that. I said I I just told them smoking. I said, yeah. Pack and a half, two packs a day, thirty plus years. Just shut the fuck in and stop asking me. You
[01:56:43] Unknown:

And they say, you know, that's bad for you. I'm like, you know what? It's been bad for me for the last forty fucking years because I started when I was 14. So forty three years. I know that it's bad for me. Well, do you wanna quit? No. No.
[01:57:20] Duuude-Ron :
If I wanted to quit, I would ask.
[01:57:23] Unknown:
You know, I have tried several times to quit. The only time that I have ever quit was eight weeks of basic training.
[01:57:34] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:57:35] Unknown:
Yeah. When my dumbass when they said in AIT that, you know, we could have tobacco, my dumbass fucking went and bought tobacco. Yep.
[01:57:46] Duuude-Ron :
What? So Well, you see what was funny? We weren't supposed to smoke in basic training, but I I got a couple hits off a couple cigarettes every now and again. We'd we'd hide out in the bathroom at the exhaust fan and and. Oh, yeah. Late at night too. And and and when we knew the fire watch guy, you know, if he liked us. Because Sometimes I just have to pay him with a couple cigarettes of yourself. Hey. Hey. Shit. We were good with that. You know? Yeah. No. You you know, as long as we could puff puff past, we didn't care.
[01:58:28] Unknown:
Yeah. But the problem is is fucking finding a a damn good hiding spot for it. Right.
[01:58:36] Duuude-Ron :
And then and then freaking dispose another cigarettes afterwards. Well, we just flush them, really. And then, yeah, AIT, oh, it was unlike Donkey Kong.
[01:58:47] Unknown:
Unlike Donkey Kong. I ain't heard that one in fucking coon's age. I remember it.
[01:58:57] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. That's not something you hear every once in a while. I'll say it, but that's me.
[01:59:06] Unknown:
Yep. That's not something you hear very often.
[01:59:09] Duuude-Ron :
Right. So, Brian
[01:59:14] Unknown:
Yep.
[01:59:15] Duuude-Ron :
Did y'all do anything crazy in basic training?
[01:59:19] Rich Chelson:
No. Honestly, I was I I was I was actually trying to be, trying to be exemplary there at first. So yeah. Right. No. No. Actually, I I I I graduated out of out of basic, top of the division.
[01:59:41] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, wow.
[01:59:43] Rich Chelson:
Then got to the Kitty Hawkman LS one Lemaster and said, you know what? Fuck you. I ain't doing this bullshit. I'm gonna I'm just gonna be I'm just gonna do the bare minimum so I can hide and keep out of everybody's way. So it goes to show the power of a good leader versus a shitty leader.
[02:00:05] Duuude-Ron :
Right. So But then you see, though, that's the thing, though. You're that that that one dude, you know, wasn't gonna be your leader for the whole time.
[02:00:30] Rich Chelson:
No. But at the same time, within, like, the first week, he'd already said that you can't wait until he gets my till he, until I, became a a third class petty officer so he get so he can get my Chevron. And I was like, oh, okay. Good luck with that.
[02:00:51] Duuude-Ron :
What? He was wanting to bust you back down? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's something he he was
[02:00:57] Rich Chelson:
known to do.
[02:01:01] Duuude-Ron :
Damn. That's crazy.
[02:01:02] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. He was he's an asshole. That he's the one that, Scott's always talking about.
[02:01:08] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right.
[02:01:11] Rich Chelson:
Yep. He might be an asshole, but he's our asshole. I was like, no, dude. Let us let him get his fucking ass kicked. He needs to learn to show his fucking mouth sometime.
[02:01:22] Unknown:
Right. So what what what e rank was he?
[02:01:26] Rich Chelson:
He was, he was in E5. Oh, okay. So yeah. Three no. Sayre. One, two, three. Third, say semen. Fourth is, yeah. Yeah. No? Fourth is, is, E321. So E6E6.
[02:01:54] Duuude-Ron :
It was an E 6 in acting like that as well? First class by the officer.
[02:02:00] Unknown:
Because,
[02:02:02] Duuude-Ron :
you know, some of the e fives I knew, they were dickheads, major dickheads because they got power and they just let it go to their head. But e sixes once people made e six, they were more laid back than anything.
[02:02:19] Rich Chelson:
Nah. No. Well, that was just it. The second class petty officers were usually pretty cool. The e threes or the no e threes. The, third class petty officers, second class petty officers, they were cool. And the most a good deal of the first classes were cool, but it wasn't until you became a chief, which is, a seven, that, you know, which is, you know, their the navy's version of an of an NCO. Right. So but, yeah, the first lot of cool lot of cool first classes, but, yeah, you had o s one Lemaster. Yeah. Yeah. He could he could suck a turd out of my ass for all I care. I'm still not a big fan of him.
So Right.
[02:03:09] Unknown:
Well, I'll tell you what. When I was a first sergeant, I was not I didn't have any fans as for damn sure. But, you know, they also knew that well, in one, I would take care of them. I would go to bat form if they were in the right. But if you weren't in the right, I'm gonna I would bury your ass.
[02:03:35] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[02:03:36] Unknown:
You know, There's no I really don't have any gray area. It's pretty much black and fucking white.
[02:03:45] Rich Chelson:
Right. Hey. Got let me well, okay. Never mind. Looks like she finally gave isn't it stopped? No. I was fixing to say, hey. I may have to answer this call because got my aunt who's trying to call me and keep telling us, like, call you back here in here in an hour. Call you back here in a night. She keeps trying to call. So I don't know if she's just she calls me. Usually, sadly, means she's probably been drinking. Fucking shit. Oh, damn it. Alright. Hey, guys. Let me see what that get to see what it's gonna take to get her off the phone. I'll I'll be back here in a moment.
[02:04:20] Unknown:
Alright. Alright. Alright. That'll be it.
[02:04:28] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yeah. Hopefully, we're back. I didn't end the live, so maybe that's going good. We'll see if dude can get back on, and I think he's trying to get back on. So, yeah, this is this is a a this has been a full night, really, is my trip. And then, of course, we talk about military and trucking and work and all this other stuff, and and then Brian's aunt wants to call him and everything. So yeah. Let's see. Well yeah. Maybe dude's not able to get in. I don't know. Oh, this is a oh, dude.
[02:05:34] Unknown:
You back? Alright. Alright. Gotcha. Okay. Alright. Oh, alright.
[02:05:40] Duuude-Ron :
I was beginning to wonder, dude.
[02:05:42] Unknown:
I was like, what the when he went off, it's like, mine shut off. I'm like, what the hell?
[02:05:48] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you see, normally normally, a Brian cuts out, Zoom, automatically and switches me to being the host.
[02:05:56] Unknown:
Okay.
[02:05:57] Duuude-Ron :
And and I just thought I just oh, well, no. Brian's on his phone too. So so, yeah, normally, when Zoom cuts out, it just switches me to being the host, and things go on, and and no one knows anything except, you know, except for me. You know? So it's it's like and this time when it cut off, I was just like, okay. Alright. Well, we're still broadcasting as far as I know. You know? I haven't changed none of that. So so, yeah, it's I don't know.
[02:06:26] Unknown:
I don't know. You guys are the ones that play with all the buttons. I I just I just press four buttons, and I'm good. Right. Right. You know? You guys start pressing buttons, and everything just goes haywire.
[02:06:45] Duuude-Ron :
That's right. Leave it to us.
[02:06:47] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, yeah, I'm a leave it to you because if I start pressing button, we all fuck.
[02:06:53] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Should've blow up then.
[02:06:56] Unknown:
Yeah. You don't want me fucking pressing buttons. Like, I you know, the system that we have that controls all of our inventory and everything is called SAP. Don't don't give me to tell you what that acronym stands for, but the operating system is SAP. Okay. I have no clue whatsoever as to how to do anything on SAP. Why? Because I don't need I have no purpose to get on a computer work other than my ELD in the truck, and that's it. Right. So, you know, I'll tell these guys when I go to locations, like, you know, if you want me to get on SAP, that's fine. I can fuck some shit up for you. Don't ask me how to fucking fix it, but I can probably fuck some shit up for you. Right.
Yeah. Yeah. No.
[02:08:00] Duuude-Ron :
I mean, it it gets I mean, honestly, messing with computers is not that hard, you know, unless you unless you get into the actual,
[02:08:10] Unknown:
operating system or whatnot. But No. Yeah. No. That that will never happen. No. I'm good. I'm good.
[02:08:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. I used to play around with stuff like that, but I I gave that up probably twenty some years ago, and I've got no inkling to go that deep into computers anymore just because Yeah.
[02:08:36] Unknown:
Yeah. I ain't doing any programming. Well, I fuck. I ain't had a computer in my house in fifth let's see. Twelve years. Now I have two computers at my house, but, you know, one of them is a desktop that's probably hasn't been out of the box now in ten years. So that that fucking operating system I doubt of it can even get anything put on it anymore. And then I I have a laptop that has Windows eight, but can you can you put an operating system in on a computer? Yes. Okay.
[02:09:26] Duuude-Ron :
Yes. You can. The only the only thing that would come into play is the hardware requirements for the operating systems, and you'd have to, you know, figure out the the, hardware that's installed on the computer, the motherboard, the the chipset, and all that. But Oh, okay. I mean, if it if it has the right, specifications, yes. But since those are sold, they're probably running slower than what what these newer, operating systems want. And so, honestly, it would be cheaper just to go buy a new one.
[02:10:12] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[02:10:13] Duuude-Ron :
I mean, it would be yeah. Because on the desktop, you can buy a parts and and, you know, change out the RAM and change out the motherboard and all like that, but you'd be money ahead going and buying buying a new one.
[02:10:29] Unknown:
Oh, okay. So Yeah. Because I got I was looking at them the other day, you know, just for, you know, seeing what is out there possibly for the grandkids. Mhmm. And there was a what was it? It was a my oh, fuck. Microsoft? No. Wait a minute. Hewlett Packard was the, the computer itself. Right. And it and it had six 64 megabytes. And it was only, like you know, it wasn't a freaking major computer, but it was, you know, only $310. Yeah. Yeah. Also yeah. Trying to piece together and, you know, figure out an operating system on the old ones versus, okay, $310 for a brand new computer that has, you know, all the current operating and all that other shit.
[02:11:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Your, yeah, your best bet is don't but just throw the others away because they're non usable for because if if you don't know enough about computers, the old ones are just headaches. Okay? So just go out, spend your $300, you know, plus tax, and get your get a brand new computer. It'll run Windows 10, Windows 11, probably Windows 11 because it's Hewlett Packard. Hewlett Packard only makes Windows computers, so it'll be Windows 11. And, just just go with it from there.
[02:12:27] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:12:31] Duuude-Ron :
Because, I mean, yeah, you don't need I and you see, that's the thing. Most people surf the Internet. That's all they do. You don't need a $2,000 computer to surf the Internet.
[02:12:43] Unknown:
Well, this would just be for schoolwork. Primarily is the reason why I was, you know, looking at them.
[02:12:50] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Well, still, you don't need a $2,000 computer because, you know you know, the school work and stuff like that, it would be more than fast enough
[02:13:02] Unknown:
for Yeah. And it also and the reason why I was looking at this specific one, it was Wi Fi capable, and all of that was inside the computer.
[02:13:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Just about just about every computer nowadays has has all that.
[02:13:21] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[02:13:22] Duuude-Ron :
So, yeah, it's I mean, it's yeah. It can all do wireless. It can it can do you know? They all do about the same. Some do it faster than others, and some have more memory storage. But, again, most people don't save a lot of shit on their on their hard drives.
[02:13:42] Unknown:
They put apps
[02:13:43] Duuude-Ron :
they put apps and stuff, and that's it.
[02:13:47] Unknown:
And most of the time and I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong because I'm probably wrong. You know, the only thing you need as far as the speed and all that stuff is gaming.
[02:13:59] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, and and, and, some programs, you know, regular programs like to have, more speed. You know, they can they can operate on on less speed, but to work efficiently, they want more speed because I've got some programs that they want, minimum of 16 gigs of RAM just to run. You know, they'll work on eight, but it's it's sluggish.
[02:14:34] Unknown:
I think this the one that I was looking at was, like, 64
[02:14:40] Duuude-Ron :
Gigs of RAM. RAM. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. That's fine. That that would be that would run that would run anything you need.
[02:14:49] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[02:14:51] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Yeah. And and most hard drives are 500 gigs or a one terabyte, maybe two. So you know? And that's again, for what most people do on them, that is more than enough.
[02:15:09] Unknown:
Right.
[02:15:10] Duuude-Ron :
So now if they're doing video editing stuff like that, then, yeah, no. No. You need to spend some money. But, you know, if they're just doing schoolwork and surfing the Internet, $300 will definitely get that job done very well.
[02:15:30] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Yeah. And that's the primary aspect is, you know, is just the schoolwork. Right.
[02:15:40] Duuude-Ron :
So yeah. I'd do that. And shoot shoot. Get one for yourself, dude.
[02:15:50] Unknown:
You know, I will I'll get back, and it was on Amazon. I'll get back with you. I'll send you a picture of what the specs are in the computer that I'm looking at, and you can let me know if it's a, you know, a good investment. I'm sure it is for the price. I have no doubt, but I'd just rather send you a picture and say, okay. Yeah. This, this, and this. You know? Yeah. You're good to go.
[02:16:18] Duuude-Ron :
Well, what's the name of it? I can look it up.
[02:16:21] Unknown:
Oh, fuck. You would have to ask me that shit.
[02:16:25] Duuude-Ron :
Well well, you know what? I talk on a laptop. So, I mean
[02:16:30] Unknown:
Yeah. You know?
[02:16:32] Duuude-Ron :
I got browser. I shoot. I I run, like, three different browsers. Well, four, actually. No. Three. Oh, well, you know,
[02:16:42] Unknown:
sure. Okay. I run zero. Right. Hero. I run zero hero.
[02:16:53] Unknown:
Yeah. No. I I got I'm not that I'm not that damn sophisticated.
[02:16:59] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I use Chrome, Opera, and Firefox once in a while.
[02:17:06] Unknown:
Sure. Okay. Every bit of it, I I would have to agree with you on that. And so well,
[02:17:17] Unknown:
shit. Well, it fucking didn't save in my in my Amazon, so I'm gonna have to figure that out.
[02:17:31] Duuude-Ron :
I'm looking at your browsing history.
[02:17:36] Unknown:
Oh, I already got it open for let's see.
[02:17:46] Unknown:
See if I can't find it real quick. I think this was the one. Okay. So it's got
[02:18:01] Unknown:

[02:18:43] Duuude-Ron :
h laptop?
[02:18:45] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:18:46] Duuude-Ron :
14 inch HP laptop. I can find it just off that. Shit. There's one for, $2.72 on sale.
[02:18:59] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:19:00] Duuude-Ron :
$3.49. Yeah. I saw you back, dude. You you cut all of us out. It didn't switch.
[02:19:10] Rich Chelson:
Did it jump does it dump everybody?
[02:19:13] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It yeah. Yeah. It dumped all of us, dude. Normally normally, it switches over and just Yeah. You know? Makes me the host passed it over to you. But Yeah. Yeah. Normally, it switches, but it didn't this time. It dude called me. I said, hang on. And and I was I was going back in. He's like, I'll get back on. I said, alright, man. And I was like, I was like, okay. Well
[02:19:37] Rich Chelson:
so, yeah, we'll we'll have two audio files. Yeah. We're gonna have two audios this run. So, man,
[02:19:42] Duuude-Ron :
that's fine. I can I can put them together and blend them? I'm not worried.
[02:19:48] Rich Chelson:
Yeah, dude. There's a a Yeah. When, when we do or when you do and and wherever it all cuts off at, we need to find a good fart sound just knowing that whatever happened, it just took a big shit.
[02:20:02] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me make a note, and and I'll I'll do that. Yeah, dude. Actually, I'm saying they've got one. It's an HP, 14 inch, 16 gigs of RAM, 320 gigs of storage, Intel quad core n forty one twenty, Windows 11, for $2.72. It's normally $3.99.
[02:20:37] Unknown:
Oh, okay. But I have not come across that one yet.
[02:20:41] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. But yeah. No. Those those would work. The the only thing is when you get it, do not sign up for the one year Microsoft Office because there's a free there's a there's a couple free versions that work exactly like Microsoft Office, and, yeah, you don't have to pay for them at all. There's LibreOffice.
[02:21:04] Rich Chelson:
There's OpenOffice. There's Google, Docs. I mean, there's a lot of different ways you can do that.
[02:21:11] Duuude-Ron :
And they all and they all intermingle and work with Microsoft Office. Yep. So yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. It is yeah. It's funny when you get a new laptop. Oh oh oh, get get Microsoft Office, you know, one year free. Fuck you.
[02:21:31] Rich Chelson:
No. Thank you.
[02:21:32] Duuude-Ron :
No. Because after that year, you want a hundred bucks or a hundred and 30.
[02:21:37] Rich Chelson:
Closer to 400, so half the time.
[02:21:41] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I think I think if you just keep Microsoft Office as a subscription, it's, like, $1.30 a year. Yeah. As a as
[02:21:51] Rich Chelson:
a software as a service. Yeah. Yeah.
[02:21:54] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. If you buy it outright, then, yeah, it's like $400. And it's like, no. I don't I don't care what you do because
[02:22:02] Rich Chelson:
You do not provide that amount of value.
[02:22:05] Duuude-Ron :
No. Not at all. I use I use LibreOffice, and and I've even, donated to them.
[02:22:11] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:22:12] Duuude-Ron :
Because, I mean, it you can save in so many different formats. It's unreal. You know? Yep. So
[02:22:28] Rich Chelson:
Take everything. Save it as a PDF if you want.
[02:22:32] Duuude-Ron :
Right. So But you see, lee LibreOffice comes with a PDF reader, editor. Mhmm. And you can save it as a PDF, and Microsoft Office will run it.
[02:22:49] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:22:53] Duuude-Ron :
So, yeah, it's yeah. It's, that's why, yeah, that I gave up Microsoft Office years ago.
[02:23:00] Rich Chelson:
Same here.
[02:23:02] Duuude-Ron :
Now now, you know, it's funny. A lot of people bitch about the paperclip. I always kinda like the paperclip.
[02:23:08] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You kinda like clippy?
[02:23:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I did. That yeah. It was just I I mean, it was okay for a little bit, but after a while, I got annoyed with it.
[02:23:19] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Just about everybody did. Right.
[02:23:27] Duuude-Ron :
But but, yeah, I gotta say I gotta say back back when they had it for a minute, I I enjoyed that. I just I just thought it was, you know, cool. Right. Because it it was because that was you know, most most programs didn't have something extra like that. You know? Uh-huh. They were just programs and, you know, at least at least Microsoft Office had had a little, you know, moving icons. Oh, hey. Oh, yeah. You you have an iPhone. I read an article today. Well, this is for you too. Keep up on your, updates with your iPhone.
[02:24:14] Unknown:
Yep.
[02:24:15] Duuude-Ron :
Because, yeah, they're guess they're starting to, hammer Android and iPhone, operating systems trying to exploit them. Oh, yeah.
[02:24:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It they actually recommend about, the, the more paranoid safety folks, they recommend you restart your phone once, once a day, and I'm like, oh, yeah. Well, we ain't playing that game. So once a week will work.
[02:24:44] Duuude-Ron :
So Yeah. You you
[02:24:46] Unknown:
You said did you say reset or restart?
[02:24:50] Rich Chelson:
Restart. I mean, oh, you really wanna be secure, then, yeah, you re you just go through to a factory reset.
[02:24:58] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. That would be a lot of fun.
[02:25:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. No. I I I norm I normally, restart mine once a week if I remember. But as as far as updating, normally, I just let, you know, the software updater do it. Yeah. But but when I read that article, I checked, and there was a major operating system upgrade for my phone. Oh, yeah. And it hadn't come through yet, and I'm like, no. I'll take it. Thank you. And so so I went ahead and downloaded it. I mean and, yeah, it changed the whole Outlook or changed The whole layout? Yeah. Well, it my icons are still there, but everything is is a much more natural look, I guess.
Okay. You know? I mean, it it didn't move any of the icons. It just, layout's not the word. It's, it's, I guess, the eye candy of of Yeah. When everything is done.
[02:26:07] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I know what you're talking about.
[02:26:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I can't I can't think of the right word, but I kinda like it. It's it's it's it's it's actually kinda cool. And that's like that's like now all my you see, before, you know, when I go to all my icons, they, they used to be on, like, four different pages I would have to swipe over. You know? Not now. I just I just swipe down or swipe up, and they're all on on on one page. There you go. Yeah. So that's that's actually kinda cool because I don't I don't have to Nope. Not on that page. Nope. Not on that page. Nope. Not on that page. I just scroll up. I still probably miss it, but, oh, well.
So, dude, I I I forgot. What is, the tip of the week?
[02:27:06] Unknown:
Oh, well,
[02:27:11] Rich Chelson:
Tip of the week. Remember that there's a tip of the week.
[02:27:16] Unknown:
No shit. Yeah. My mind has been so fucking occupied with with other things in life that's going on in life right now. So let's see. Tip of the day. I think I remember what I said last week. Last week's tip of the day was don't let the door hit you where the good Lord splits you. Correct? Yep. Yeah. Okay.
[02:27:49] Rich Chelson:
Love our sign, better sign.
[02:27:51] Unknown:
Alright. Tip of the day. Do not have a screen door on a submarine.
[02:28:04] Rich Chelson:
That is very helpful. Yes. Yes. That And wise on top of that.
[02:28:09] Duuude-Ron :
It would be very wise. Now now what if you had to what what if you had a a a screen door on the inside of the outside door? Would that make sense?
[02:28:21] Rich Chelson:
Now why would you do that?
[02:28:24] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I I don't know.
[02:28:28] Unknown:
Keep the bugs out? Well, you know, if you have, you know, most of the stuff away or or the shrimp. You know? But still, if you had a screen door on the screen when you opened up the big part, you don't see you know, if there's any fish on the outside of the sun. Right?
[02:28:51] Rich Chelson:
Well, yeah. It wouldn't help if you knew if there were fish. True.
[02:28:58] Duuude-Ron :
You you could get that fresh sea air.
[02:29:03] Unknown:
There you go. Or better you step outside to have a smoke.
[02:29:09] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Shit. I did find out on my house on the front porch. It used to be a screened in front porch.
[02:29:20] Rich Chelson:
Oh, and someone took it down.
[02:29:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. So, I I've actually, I don't know, a couple weeks ago. I was sitting outside and enjoying it, and I I was I was I was kinda looking around everything. It's like, alright. How can I screen this back in? You know? Not not sure if I really wanna do it, but kinda wanting to do it because Lowe's down here sells screen doors for, like, $65. They're cheap. Okay. It was 65.
[02:29:58] Unknown:
So the half screen door is a full door screen. Basically, the frame, and then it's all the rest of the screen.
[02:30:06] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, it's got it's got a wood, you know, wooden divider and stuff like that, but, yeah, it's all screen. Okay.
[02:30:15] Unknown:
Because you remember back in the days when they had, you know, half the screen with the windows and the metal bottom and all that other good shit? Yeah. The the desk stoppers.
[02:30:26] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. No. This here this here is an actual screen door. Oh, okay. There's Got it. There's no metal. It's all wood. So but yeah. I Okay. Yeah. I'd gotten to, thinking about that. And, I I just had to look on Lowe's and because I didn't know. Because I know what North Lowe's does not sell screen doors because I guess people don't buy them or whatnot. But I looked on lowes.com for down here, and sure as shit, they keep them in stock. Grandma approved. I'm like, you know, I'm like, you know what? That would be cool to put a screen door on the front and back of my house. I could open the doors and
[02:31:12] Unknown:

I I think it was like they didn't have air conditioning in this house till, like, the seventies.
[02:32:06] Rich Chelson:
I believe that.
[02:32:08] Duuude-Ron :
You know? And I'm like, oh my god.
[02:32:12] Rich Chelson:
That's crazy. You know? Because, you know, think about it. Heats in front of the in front of the windows.
[02:32:17] Duuude-Ron :
Right? And fans in the windows? Because, I mean, that I mean, the the freaking humidity is just oh, it you know, it it it's rough.
[02:32:29] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:32:30] Duuude-Ron :
You know? I mean, yeah, I enjoy it, but I've got AC to go into. So it's like, when I get too hot, I just go inside, dry off a little bit, and then walk back outside. Poof. I'm I'm I'm wet again.
[02:32:46] Rich Chelson:

Her her parents, I think, it was in the seventies when they put it in. I was like, oh my god. That's crazy. That's that's kinda tough. I don't care who you are. Exact well, I mean, that's
[02:33:20] Rich Chelson:
how a lot of them did. I mean, hell, even my grandparents, for the longest time, they, they didn't have, air conditioning in their house. And then late eighties, they stuck they put a couple swamp coolers in. Well, swamp coolers is better than nothing. Oh, yeah. The only problem is they don't work very good if you're in a humid environment. So
[02:33:45] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. No. Yeah. Yeah. If you're in a humid environment, swamp coolers are not efficient.
[02:33:55] Unknown:
No.
[02:33:57] Rich Chelson:
I don't care who you are. But, yeah, there was many nights. I remember going to bed in the front bedroom there at my great grandparents' house there in Pottsville, and all they'd have is they'd have, two windows open and a, and a fan running. And, boy, you loved it when that fan comes sweeping across. You're like, oh, yeah. Uh-uh. Oh, yeah. Uh-oh.
[02:34:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. We, when I I don't know. I was probably 11 or 12. We lived in a house, didn't have no AC, and and we had a big ass window in our fan. And we slept upstairs. And, Yeah. That that fan, we'd flip that on high, and, I'd I'd tell you what, it moves some air. It it pulled hot air out pretty quick and made it tolerable. So so, yeah, I do I do I I do remember them days. I just don't I just don't wish to revisit them. Yep. But I will if I have to. You know? But but, actually, before that, I've got a brand new, window AC unit that's still in the box that I'll pull out and fire up the generator first.
[02:35:27] Rich Chelson:
There you go.
[02:35:30] Unknown:
Yeah. I got that I got that for my tent. Generator air conditioner fucking there. Right? I am no long I am no longer camping. I will motherfucking glamp.

Dude, I remember I I remember the first time you freaking told me you had an AC unit for your for your tent. I bought shit.
[02:35:53] Rich Chelson:
I was like, oh my god. Well, apparently, Matt thought that was a good idea because I remember sure the the second, second, event that, tears did. Heck, he had a had a AC unit stuck right there in front of his, in in one of his tents.
[02:36:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Damn right. Know. Yeah. He he saw Ron did it, and he's like, oh, fuck. No. I gotta do it.

[02:36:39] Rich Chelson:
I don't like to like to do it either, but, I mean, heck, that's what the river's for is to go jump in it and cool off and then go to bed.
[02:36:48] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah, that'd be cool. But, yeah, wake up three hours later at 01:30 in the morning, sweating your ass off, wait you Oh, yeah. No. I did that, definitely over Moyers.
[02:37:00] Rich Chelson:

[03:02:16] Duuude-Ron :
Bye.
Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude, this is a show that each week allows for three friends to get together and live life intentionally.
[00:00:11] Rich Chelson:
We do this by throwing a little social commentary with our own weird sense of humor and our thoughts together to show folks that living having weekly conversations is a good way to help each other out, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Brian, Rich, and the dude.
[00:00:34] Duuude-Ron :
Mister Brian.
[00:00:40] Unknown:
There we go.
[00:00:41] Duuude-Ron :
There you go. There you go. There you are.
[00:00:47] Rich Chelson:
So you're back home again home again?
[00:00:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I got home last night. God, it was I don't like flying.
[00:00:57] Rich Chelson:
Bet not.
[00:00:58] Duuude-Ron :
Do not. Although the ride back was nice was nicer than the ride out for sure, but I still don't like flying.
[00:01:10] Rich Chelson:
No. No. I mean, I used to enjoy flying. I used used to be kinda nice, but these days, no. It's just they've it is degraded to the point that it is absurd.
[00:01:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And, you know, in, May, if if I read the sign right, you have to have a real ID or or a passport card or something to fly in The United States?
[00:01:39] Rich Chelson:
Well, ain't that gonna be cool?
[00:01:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I mean, I I've got the real ID. I've got, you know, the passport card. I mean, I I can fly, but it's just the fact that, yeah, if you don't have it, you don't have a choice. If you want to fly in in the Continental United States, you have to have it.
[00:01:58] Rich Chelson:
Ain't it funny how they go off and start restricting interstate travel?
[00:02:03] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right.
[00:02:06] Rich Chelson:
In our own state. Oh, you can't fly. You can't go there that fast unless you have this, this approved, approved form of identification. It's like, well, what happened to the driver's license?
[00:02:18] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Exactly. Hold on a second.
[00:02:21] Rich Chelson:
You've got somebody wanting to get ahold of you. Yeah. Answer the phone with I don't need this isn't even my desk.
[00:02:39] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. I'm back. Alright. But, yeah, I was, yeah, it was my nephew, trying to video chat me. I said he saw my headphones on. He's like, oh, I said, I'm podcasting. He said, how long? I said, three hours. I'll call you later. Alright.
[00:02:59] Rich Chelson:
Where's Ron? Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron.
[00:03:03] Duuude-Ron :
So, yeah, it was yeah. I tell you what, I damn near I damn near said fuck it and turned around and flew home once I got to Dallas. Oh, no shit. Really? Yeah. Well well, storms had I I mean, it wasn't the airline's fault. Right. Or or anything like this, but, I mean, because the storms had screwed things up. And I left from Gulfport, and we got behind and didn't make it to Dallas in time to catch my flight
[00:03:37] Unknown:
Oh.
[00:03:38] Duuude-Ron :
And everything because of the storms. And then I had to wait till the next morning, okay Uh-huh. To fly up to Northwest Arkansas, and and it was set for, I don't know, like, 06:40 or something. And it was, like, four or 05:00 in the morning. And, they had pushed it to, like, 09:00. And then it was, like, seven, seven thirty, and and and then they just canceled it. Just canceled the fucking flight. And, you know, of course, I'm I'm I'm on the phone with, you know, Matt and Dee and stuff like that. Hey. Fucking help me figure this shit out. I don't, you know, I don't do this shit. And so, there was another flight, and, so it was it was sketchy because I I I went to the gate for it.
And then I had asked the guy, I said, is this good? He's like, yeah. I can I can get you on this flight? And then, like, they were boarding the plane, fixing to board the plane. The guy looks at me, and he says, no. You have to go to customer service. And that's up and around in yeah. Because the Dallas Fort Worth terminal is a freaking nightmare. Yep. Oh my god. So you went to you actually flew into DFW and not Love Field then? No. I flew into D N Fucking W. Oh my god. Dude, Skynet. Skynet is is is running strong in DFW.
[00:05:13] Rich Chelson:
I bet it.
[00:05:14] Duuude-Ron :
Because, they got these little tram cars that run along run along the outside of Oh, yeah. All the terminals. You know? And I had to ride one, get over on the other side, and then, I wound up I had to ride another one because they changed the gate. And the first time I got on, there was a whole bunch of people on. I didn't you know, I just like, whatever. Okay. Let's go. And then second time, there wasn't so many people on. I I you know, I figured I'd jump on and and, ride by the driver. Right? Right. I ain't no driver.
[00:05:52] Rich Chelson:
Uh-uh.
[00:05:54] Duuude-Ron :
No driver, what so never. And I was like, oh, fuck. Robot's coming for us. I was like, oh, shit. They've invaded DFW. I want dude, I was I was nervous, you know, because, I mean, I I mean, seriously, it's like it's like when we came up to a stop, you know, there's a voice come up, you know, blah blah blah, you know, and they and no driver. I'm like, oh god. Didn't know. I was freaking out. Recordings. Yeah. I'm like, I don't like this. You know? I I mean
[00:06:26] Rich Chelson:
those trams there in in the DFW area for since at least since the eighties, because I remember riding on them in the eighties. So now they may have updated them and made them all a little more expensive, but, yeah, they're they've been there forever.
[00:06:43] Duuude-Ron :
Well, this this first time I had ever seen anything like that, and so or or had experienced anything like that. So, you know, I'm sitting here thinking I'm in I'm in, the fucking Man, I'm outside of I'm outside of Missouri for sure. Right. Right. And and I was just like, oh, hell no. And but, yeah, right at the last minute, I got my ticket straight, and they they fucking let me on the plane. And, well, I'd called Matt. I was pissed by this this thing because I because I you know, it wasn't his fault, you know, but still it was just I hadn't had no sleep. You know, I was I was I was hurting to beat hell because you gotta walk every fucking place. Oh, yeah. You know, and shit like this. And it was just it was just pain in the ass. And, you know, I was talking to Matt on the phone, and I told him, I said, Bubba, I said, I'll tell you right now. If this shit don't get off quick, my ass goes the fuck home.
I coulda drove here faster than it took me to get there to fly. Right. Seriously. I mean, it was it was supposed to be a total time of three hours to go from here, DFW, and XNA. Total time of three hours. Yeah. About that, it took over, what, twelve? Say seven. Yeah.
[00:08:05] Unknown:
And it takes about twelve hours.
[00:08:07] Duuude-Ron :
It's almost
[00:08:09] Rich Chelson:
air airline travel has almost gotten as bad as bus travel.
[00:08:14] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Well, we'll say on the way back, though, the flights on the way back, three hours. Oh. Pretty good. Well well well, three and a half hours. Because I left out of Lexington, Kentucky, went to Charlotte, jumped on a plane there, and was back in Gulfport. Yeah. So, yeah, I left at 06:00. So well, what the time zone difference, about four hours total time with the labor. So Wow. So yeah. It yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. When I was up there, I told Matt, I said, next time? My I said, well, first off, I'm I'm never moving you again. So you just might as well light a torch to the fucking house and walk away because I'm not helping.
[00:09:04] Rich Chelson:
I'm done. Yep. If you wanna move, then I would suggest suggest Atlas Van Lines and let them pick shit up and they move it over.
[00:09:12] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I guess I guess he called a moving company, and they said something like starting at $10.
[00:09:18] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's it's stupid. It's You know? Yeah.
[00:09:23] Duuude-Ron :
So so yeah. You you know? But but he told me he said, nah, dude. I ain't move I ain't moving again. I said, that's good because my ass ain't gonna help you. Because I ain't moving your ass. I mean, hey. I don't know. I mean I mean I mean, the trip was was okay, you know, and everything. Going out there was okay. It was it it was just fucking rough, whatever. But it's just the fact that I had to fly, and I could've drove there faster. So Yeah. Yeah.
[00:09:53] Rich Chelson:
It would've seemed prettier countryside too.
[00:09:56] Duuude-Ron :
That's for damn sure.
[00:09:58] Rich Chelson:
Because hell, you don't have to go off and go from from Mississippi over to Dallas back up to to to Central Arkansas. You can just drive to our Central Arkansas.
[00:10:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Exactly. I mean, I can I can stay in Mississippi for most for half the way, cross into Arkansas, and be in Arkansas the other half? Yep.
[00:10:20] Unknown:
And it would've been cheaper too.
[00:10:23] Duuude-Ron :
Right. But yeah. No. I so, yeah, that's that's, that was my, experience with flying. And it was funny when I went through TSA here in Gulfport, I had to take out my CPAP, my tablet, damn near strip naked Yeah. Get my picture took of my whole body and, get groped, which, yeah, I I wasn't happy about that, but whatever. And, and so but but after that, I I was never groped or I still got my picture took, but they didn't have to have me pull my CPAP out and that I even carried a lighter,
[00:11:13] Rich Chelson:
a BIC lighter in my pocket. Accomplish that because you're not supposed to allow that to happen.
[00:11:19] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, it's funny because when I was in Gulfport, talk to us because Gulfport still has a smoking lounge after we go through TSA. And, I was talking with the lady because I didn't bring a lighter or nothing because I didn't think I could. And this lady looked at me and she said, I fly all over the place. She said, in fact, I just got back from Japan. And she says, I carry ladders all the time. She says, they see them, but they don't touch them. Okay. Cool. So I brought one back with me. I stole it from the hat, but you know? Yeah. I'll have it still. Right. But yeah. So so, yeah, I was I was never so glad to see my Jeep.
I'm serious, man. I was I was walking. I was still a ways away, and I hit the button. I'm like, oh, shit. I heard her. I heard her. Where is she at? And, you know, it was dark. I couldn't see. And, so, I kept I kept hitting the buttons, and then I heard her and saw her. And I'm like, yeah. There we go. Okay. I'm happy. Yeah. I miss my Jeep. I I I I'm I'm not leaving my Jeep again.
[00:12:32] Rich Chelson:
Don't blame him.
[00:12:34] Duuude-Ron :
No. I'm driving.
[00:12:36] Unknown:
So yeah. I know I know I got in on this conversation a little bit late, and I know that we had talked, you know, about your flight and something like that previous. But why did they fucking take a picture of you? What the fuck? Your ID is not good enough?
[00:12:54] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. It is. You you have to have your ID just to get into TSA. And then when they take a picture of you, it's your whole body. You gotta hold your hands up over your head, and and they go, and they take a picture of your whole body and make sure you ain't carrying nothing.
[00:13:12] Unknown:
Is is that everybody?
[00:13:17] Duuude-Ron :
Sometimes, not always. Man, that's yeah.
[00:13:25] Unknown:

[00:13:54] Unknown:
You know, I I I that's just fucking outrageous. It is. I hope I don't have to fucking fly anytime soon. Right. Because they you know what? If they'd had me put up my hands, I might fucking add two goddamn, fingers to go along with, you know, my arms being raised. They they can't tell you how to, you know, manipulate your finger. Right?

[00:15:13] Duuude-Ron :

Sure. I mean, they don't they're not pretty looking guns. I'll see if I can find one for you.
[00:15:56] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Because, I was talking with Matt because, you know, Matt does three d printing. Right? Yeah. And, you know, he wasn't talking about three d printing a gun, but, you know, he we were talking about, like, a spring loaded, like, clamp or something. You can even three d print a working spring. It works just like a spring. So, yes, you can three d print every part on a firearm. You just need a a metal bullet.
[00:16:28] Unknown:
Well and and I understand that because just having the threat of a weapon, whether it's loaded or unloaded, you don't know that. But, you know, the threat is still real. It's a handgun. I, you know, I can understand that. Jesus. Yeah. Oh, man. Words and in the words of Buford t Justice of Texas, What in the war what in the world or what in the hell has the world come to? Exactly. You know, that's just, like, so much fucking fraud, especially coming from India.

I mean, they do offer both, but now, the FAA and the government has said that you as of May seventh of this year, you have to have a real ID, a passport card, passport, some other type of identification to fly in the Continental United States. So

[00:49:23] Unknown:
And that's why I only run my mouth these days. That's just that's the only running I do. That's the only running I do. So I guess I shouldn't piss too many people off that have guns.

And first, they, they went through and, wanted to do go ahead and do a, fit for, fit for work exam Yep. Which was where they go through. It's like, can you, you know, your, your blood pressure okay, yada yada yada. And then they went off and, and, had me do 20 squats. Just squat down, stand up, squat down, stand up, do that 20 times. Mhmm. And then walk up two steps, walk back down, two steps of a of a step ladder, do that 10 times. Man, that was just a combination of first just to see if my you know, I didn't make sure I didn't have any type of knee problems or anything like that, knee, hip problems, but also to get my blood, my my pulse, my heart rate up so they could, check and make sure that there wasn't anything there. So it's kinda like a little little, moderate, stress test.
And, then after that, they had me carry basically pick 50 pounds up off the ground, walk, like, 15 feet, put it on to a put it on to a counter, and then pick it back up, move it back, put it, put it on the floor, and basically repeat that also 10 times.
[01:00:28] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, hell no. So
[01:00:31] Rich Chelson:
thing I found out about that, my legs are out of shape. You think? I woke up this morning, and I was sore. I was like, what the hell is with my legs? Why are they so oh, yeah. I did all those 20 squats and walked up to this, you know, tens. There's basically two steps times 10, so 20 steps. It's like well, walked up and down 10 times, so that's ten forty steps. It's like, god dang, man. My legs won't let stand out. Let's get out of the truck, stand up, and go to stretch and be like, oh god. Oh oh oh oh oh, what the hell? Yep. Yep. So so yeah. Yeah. My

You know, I resembled that remark.
[01:01:19] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It was it was kind of a, bit of a, of a learning experience. I'm gonna have to now start doing, doing about 20 squats every day just to get my to get my endurance up. Can't be having legs get sore just because I'm walking a little bit, especially if I ever plan on completing my, checking off my bucket list to walk walking the Camino De Santiago. Right. Right.

Throw in some bacon and oh my god. You're fixing to have an orgasm.
[01:08:54] Unknown:
Now that that salt and pepper can taste can have anything taste good. I will definitely disagree with you on that one.

He looks at me, and he's like, I don't really care. I said, do you know this is gonna be a culture shock for her? He's like he started laughing. He's like, yep. Because it was funny. Not long after that, we saw a we saw a lady walking down the street, and she wasn't in her right mind.
And and and it wasn't very long after we saw our d comes out. Did you see that crack here walking down the street? I just turned around and started laughing. I'm like, welcome to Kentucky. You know, it happens everywhere. You know? I'm not just picking on Kentucky, but, yeah, this is Dee Who is? Who's lived in the city. And and, oh my god, if if if if everything ain't right, you know, you know, if it's not the way she thinks it should, she loses it. I was just I was just thinking it's like, oh my god. She is gonna just eat it up here.
[01:17:18] Rich Chelson:
You know? Yep. Gonna have to learn to slow down a little bit, and that's for sure.
[01:17:23] Duuude-Ron :
Honestly, I don't I don't know if she can. One of her biggest things is is, going to the Walmart. I'm I'm dead serious, man. I mean I mean, she is all about that day in Walmart. And,
[01:17:43] Unknown:
I mean, good. We'll see how long she'll be about all about that Walmart driving a fucking hour just to get to it.
[01:17:54] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, she'll do it, dude. She don't care.
[01:17:57] Rich Chelson:
Once she realizes how far and stuff and that she has to get what she wants, she'll she'll get very comfortable in in making the proper choices. Nah. You know, I don't know because when they lived in Montana, Walmart was up in in Kalispell, and that was over 50 miles away. And, when were they even living in Montana? When were they living in mon oh, no. No. They were looking at moving to, to Idaho. That's who it was. I was like, why? Wait. Wait. Wait. They moved up there and then suddenly they're
[01:18:27] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. No. No. They no. This was back in, 2016 Okay. 2015.
[01:18:34] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You don't wanna live in Montana. Montana's cold.
[01:18:37] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. No. No. It's too cold for me. But Yep. It's not true. But Oh, yeah.
[01:18:44] Unknown:
Except for when it's cold and the fucking wind is blowing at 60 miles an hour.
[01:18:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Which is nine months out of the year. Winter is like yeah. Winter's like nine months out of the year. I mean, it it it still snows in June up there. Okay? I know because I I saw it with my own eyes. Well,
[01:19:05] Unknown:
my ass ain't going up there.
[01:19:07] Duuude-Ron :
But well, you see, when they lived up there, the nearest decent jobs was Kalispell, and that was over 50 miles from where we lived out out in the middle of fucking nowhere. And, every day when, when, Dee went to work, she had to go to Walmart every single day. And, I mean, she was always coming home with stuff. I mean, she is totally hooked on the Walmart. So I I don't know if she'll ever give the Walmart up or not. She might maybe in twenty years, but I ain't holding my breath.
[01:20:06] Unknown:
You know? Yes. I do my shopping at Walmart. But for me to have to fuck. I ain't too Yeah. No. I am I try to be in and out just because I really don't wanna be there in the first place.
[01:20:30] Duuude-Ron :
Right. No. No. You see you see, you go to the Walmart just to do your shopping and get out. You don't go just to go. Or or like like like, oh, I I need a pack of pens. I need to go to Walmart. You don't do that. She
[01:20:48] Unknown:

[01:21:02] Rich Chelson:
No, sir. Of course not. That's a cheap people place. Hey. Again, I resemble that remark. Oh, I'm not you ain't hearing me complain about it. I'm Okay.
[01:21:17] Duuude-Ron :
I'm a cheap old better student. Honestly, Dollar General got almost too expensive for me. Dollar General's getting really freaking expensive. Absolutely.
[01:21:26] Unknown:
Yeah. I know. It's no longer Dollar General. It's dollar fifty five General. Yeah. Right. Right. Well, the dollar store is two bits. Yeah. And the dollar store is four and a quarter.
[01:21:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:21:50] Unknown:
So I know that I came into the converse again, came into the conversation late. So our who did you interview with?
[01:21:58] Rich Chelson:
Gore Nitrogen. It's an oilfield company. Yeah. Oilfield company. The only thing that they talked about, though, that I heard and the first thing I thought of is, oh, that's not gonna be fun. They apparently have the same damn system in their trucks that you have in yours.
[01:22:16] Unknown:
Now you said whatever nitrogen. Gore? Yeah. Are you gonna be hauling nitrogen?
[01:22:25] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. I mean, the way they the reason why they call themselves Gore Nitrogen is because they started off being nitrogen frack company. And Oh. What they with, nitrogen fracking, what they did is they took liquid nitrogen and would pump it down hole. And so it would go down at a lower pressure. So if you have a really high pressure, well that you've gotta get broke up, you would use liquid nitrogen because once it got went down hole, it's hot down there. So all that air all that nitrogen is gonna expand.
[01:23:02] Unknown:
Well, yeah, the the difference between liquid nitrogen and compressed nitrogen or even atmospheric is three I'd I'd have to get back in the book, but it's, like, several thousand like, one cubic cubic inch of liquid will expand to, like, 1,800 cubic feet of gas.
[01:23:36] Rich Chelson:
Something like that. Yeah. I don't believe that. Something like that. Yeah.
[01:23:43] Unknown:
And like I said, I'd have to get back in the books to fucking remember what all the gas's expansion aspect is from liquid to gas. So that when they did that, that's where their name came about, but they don't do
[01:23:59] Rich Chelson:
the nitrogen Well, they still do some of that. They do a bit what's called now called, foam fracking. And, basically, they send, basically, a foam. From what I understand, I'm not because I wasn't whenever I was in the land of of hydraulic fracturing, I was we were doing slick wells, slick water. Basically, it was a water it was a they would take water, mix it with a chemical that was a friction reducer for water. And so it'd be the slimy, nasty shit. You got it on your gloves. You could never wash it off, and it would crust up, and then you take it take it off. The moment your hands got wet again, it would slime up again. You never could get rid of the shit.
But, but it was, but, yeah, they would do, basically use, use slick water and and sand and send that down the well using just the pump pressures of the, of the machines themselves.
[01:25:06] Unknown:
So So so what are you actually going to be, driving?
[01:25:14] Rich Chelson:
I'm gonna be driving. Basically, it's a Freightliner, but it's a day cab. And What
[01:25:21] Unknown:
what are you hauling?
[01:25:23] Rich Chelson:
Hauling a frac sand. Oh, okay. So I'll, basically, what I'll do is in the morning, well, depending on shift because we work twelve hour shifts. We start off, six nights at night. You get twenty four hours off, six nights of days, and then we have six nights or six days off. So we, have a we have six days of days and nights, so six full days of of, being absolutely off. Don't have to don't have to worry about calling. Unless you wanna go and work some more, and then you can go back in and you can work and, for four more days, and you take another day off. I think you could then work two days four off.
Forget how they did it. Or just work two more days, you're off a day, two more days, then you're off another day. So Anyhow, they they want you to do a twenty four hour reset before you get back go back in so that, you have plenty of time.
[01:26:31] Unknown:
Right. So, basically, you're gonna be gone from the house for two weeks to work. Time. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
[01:26:41] Rich Chelson:
So
[01:26:44] Duuude-Ron :
And where are they working at? I mean, is it they are the
[01:26:49] Rich Chelson:
Basically, right now, they are the biggest hydraulic fracturing company in Oklahoma. They had one instance back in 2015 where they did layoff. The last few, slow periods that they had, like in, like, in '20 what would that been? 2020, '20 '1, about the time where all of a sudden there was too much, too much oil, or no. That was in the, that was yeah. No. That was during, during the Wuhan flu. No. No. That was during when was that? I don't know. Yeah. It was during Wuhan Flu period. It was March of twenty twenty. Shortly there or shortly thereafter, after March 2020 or that area because, yeah, Trump was still in office, and that's when oil got so low that it actually was negative $25 a barrel.
You Yeah. Could actually would've been paid by the oil companies to take oil off their hands. Yeah. I remember that. And so there was there was that, and where it got real flow in that period, they, they actually took a took a hit in their profits, but they kept everybody on. They just found stuff for people to do. It might have been that you were sleep sweeping out the corners, of all the buildings. You know? You might be sweeping the dirt in the parking lot or whatever, but they were gonna find something for you to do so that you could at least and they may they dropped them down to eight hours at a time, but they were still working.
[01:28:37] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[01:28:39] Rich Chelson:
So and it's $27 an hour. So and I'll be getting my hazmat because if you get your hazmat, then they bump you up to $28 an hour. So it's like, alright. Well and then if I need to and and I have to move to to Central Texas, I guess I could always just run over to Temple and go, hey. I know I know this Ron dude. He I know he's kind of a jerk, but I I can work with him.
[01:29:08] Unknown:
Yeah. He would be. Man, that that that sounds like that guy's a real fucking asshole. Yeah. Major dickhead.

[01:29:49] Rich Chelson:

[01:33:04] Duuude-Ron :
Oh my bad.
[01:33:07] Unknown:
God. It's free.
[01:33:13] Duuude-Ron :
That would hold your stuff, dude.
[01:33:15] Rich Chelson:
It would hold stuff. Plus half a cow. No. I thought it's just I'd never heard of a of a 60 gallon cooler before. It's like, holy crap, man. That's that's what,
[01:33:28] Unknown:
fucking Matt had in his, camping trailer for the alcohol. Oh, was it? Yeah. That was a 60 gallon tour cooler. Yeah. They had two of them in there.
[01:33:39] Duuude-Ron :
Holly.
[01:33:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Those big coolers. Yeah.
[01:33:45] Rich Chelson:
It's insane.
[01:33:48] Duuude-Ron :
You you you had never seen them bacons? I guess not. Yeah. No. They got they got some massive ones, dude.
[01:34:00] Rich Chelson:
Hell, I need a semi truck just to be able to transport it.
[01:34:05] Unknown:
Well, I put it to you like this. It would not fit into the fucking cab of a day cab.
[01:34:12] Rich Chelson:
That's for damn sure. I'd have to go off, get, get some ratchet straps and and and strap it to the into the, the catwalk on the back. Yeah. Yeah. Yes.
[01:34:24] Unknown:
Pretty much. Arbor freight. Would have to do that. Arbor freight. Yep.
[01:34:30] Duuude-Ron :
Get you ready? And and freaking get the automatic ones. Those things are freaking nice, man. Automatic ratchet straps. What? Yeah. Yeah. You just oh, it's it's it's cool as shit. They're they're, like, on a little spool. You you hook the, end where the spool's at, hold the other end over your stuff, hook it on, and then hit a button, and it tightens up. Very slick. And and and, taking it off is just as easy. Just hit the button, and it releases it. And oh, yeah. I I didn't know they made them either till, say, was it last year or sometime? But, Matt had some, and he's like, oh, check this shit out. And he pulled them out. I'm like, look at you getting all fucking bougie.
What the hell, dude? And but yeah. And I wanna say, I wanna say Harbor Freight's got them. They're, like, ten, twelve foot, you know, but, yeah, they're you just and, actually, once you use them once or twice, you'll be like, why the fuck haven't I found these before?
[01:35:39] Rich Chelson:
You know? Because it it it makes sense to me. It hasn't applied enough tension on it to to hold everything tight? You can ratchet it too. Oh, okay. Okay. So it just sucks it all up for, all the all the loose up. So Yeah. Yeah.
[01:35:55] Duuude-Ron :
And then and then you ratchet a couple times, you know, snug it up. And then and then when you're done, just just hit the button, and it'll loosen it, and you can take it off. I don't know that. They're actually pretty dadgum slick, dude.
[01:36:12] Rich Chelson:
I agree.
[01:36:13] Duuude-Ron :
I mean, I don't have any personally, but I've used a couple of them. And I'm just like, damn. Where have these been my whole life? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It makes strapping a whole lot easier.
[01:36:33] Rich Chelson:
And it'll let the let the guys over here at the Up to Grove know about about that. Too bad they don't have them for trailers.
[01:36:42] Duuude-Ron :
You know, I don't know if they do.
[01:36:44] Rich Chelson:
They probably don't. I'm sure DOT would I'm sure there's something about DOT rules that requires manual labor.
[01:36:52] Duuude-Ron :
So I think it could be. I mean, those straps, they're I think they're rated for, like, a thousand pounds. And Oh, okay. Yeah. They're those are little little one inch straps then. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Your four inches are, what, 4,700 if I remember right? 57. 50 7. Okay.
[01:37:14] Unknown:
Well, you know what? Just get yourself a cordless drill. Yeah. Get yourself a, you know, a little, you know, your own invention type thing and, you know, put it on the strap and, you you know, turn on the drill and it'll take up all that you want. Oh, they've
[01:37:35] Duuude-Ron :
they've got a winder tool for them four inch straps. You can put your drill on it and and Yeah. Yeah. Wind up a four inch strap. I know I had one when I flatbed it. I thought I thought that thing wasn't anything since cupcakes.
[01:37:49] Unknown:
Okay. Well, yeah.
[01:37:51] Duuude-Ron :
You know, when you're sitting there rolling up four inch straps, rolling up, you know, 10 or 12 of them, that takes By hand? Yeah. By hand. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It no. Fuck that. Yep. You get this. I think I paid, like, $60 for that little tool, and it's nothing really to make. It just it just sits on the rail, and it's it's a forked thing. And you just Yeah. Spin it with your hand, but, oh my god, it it saves so much time.
[01:38:21] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I've seen them. I've never had one, but I've seen them.
[01:38:27] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I like to.
[01:38:29] Unknown:
Yeah. I'm sure. But, you know, our pallets are we have ratchet straps that, secure the pallets onto the onto the back. But
[01:38:42] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:38:43] Unknown:
They're what? That strap is only what? I think my tails are, like, 12 inches long after I get done tightening the straps. Oh. Yeah. So, yeah, not not quite the as difficult of a as flat bedding life is. No. Hopefully, I'll never have to go through that shit.
[01:39:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. What Come on now. Builds character, dude.
[01:39:25] Unknown:
Now, you know, just getting there, at in there in the morning. Make sure that my that, you know, I got everything on the truck that I need to have on it. Get my paperwork. Get my, haz or my, manifest hazmat, and just go to the destination, unload, reload, come back, and then go to fuck home. That's what's nice about this. I'm home every night.
[01:40:01] Rich Chelson:

[01:40:05] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I'm home every night too.
[01:40:07] Unknown:
Yeah. We know. Fuck you. You're home every day too. You know? Right. Any any fucking thing else you wanna, like, you know, add to the conversation within that aspects, asshole?
[01:40:24] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I did find out I'm still fighting to get my fucking title.
[01:40:29] Rich Chelson:
I think I was that was fucking resolved.
[01:40:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So did I. And and and, I was last time I talked to him, I was told it was in progress, that Mississippi had the title. And today, I called the state and talked to him, and they're like, no. The title is not in the system. I'm like, what the fuck? So so I had called back to,
[01:40:55] Rich Chelson:
Broadcaster and
[01:40:59] Duuude-Ron :
had to had to, call them again and and because they sent the title. I've I've got I've got the delivery receipt from back in January. Okay? They don't have the actual title, so it's somewhere in Mississippi.
[01:41:17] Unknown:
Oh, that's yeah. Okay.
[01:41:19] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right. It would be in a fucking landfill right now. But, so so I had to call back to Bridgecrest and get they, they made a copy of paperwork, you know, saying my title and stuff like this. And, they, they they sent it to me. They were real helpful. I was I was actually happy for that. It was real helpful. And, so I've gotta send this to, Mississippi, and they say they can issue me a Mississippi title off of what I'm fixing to send them, apparently. So I'm gonna try this again. But, yeah, yeah, somehow, my title got lost. I was told it was in Mississippi. They were working on it, and then I'm told today it's not even in the system.
And I'm told awful. The hell. Yeah. It's this is
[01:42:18] Unknown:
So are you gonna go down in person to do this?
[01:42:22] Duuude-Ron :
No. I can't, dude. I can't because they do the titles in in the state
[01:42:28] Unknown:
at the state. I understand that, but can you take the paperwork that you're gonna get to generate the title? Because, obviously, you're not gonna get the title. It's being held by the lienholder.
[01:42:42] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. No. Right. It is. I you see, that's the thing. I don't know because if I mean, you know, if I took it down there, I I mean, honestly,
[01:42:56] Unknown:
I couldn't It sounds like anything that gets mailed as far as the title for your vehicle, it just comes to a fucking nightmare. And when do you have to title a fucking vehicle by?
[01:43:07] Duuude-Ron :
The end of last month.
[01:43:11] Unknown:
Nice.
[01:43:12] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right. So yeah. But, I mean, I've I've got they emailed me the paperwork, so I could probably print this out and take this in and try it tomorrow and see if that'll fly. But I'm almost scared to even try that. But I've I've I've got I've got the copy the certificate of title PDF from from Bridgecrest. They emailed it to me, so I've got it to where it was registered in Missouri. But and the lady in, up in Jackson at the state said they can do it, I guess, off this piece of papers. You know, she said they like to have the actual title. It's like, honey, I ain't got the title.
The lien company don't have the title. They sent it. You know? Because the dude I was talking to today, he's like, you know, I could give you the tracking number, he says, but you you have it. I said, yes, sir. I've got the delivery receipt from back in January when they received it. So I don't know. I might I might print it out and take it up there and see if I can do something about it tomorrow. I just might email it to the state. I don't know. I know. Right now, I don't know what to do.
[01:44:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Because
[01:44:43] Rich Chelson:
irritating as can be.
[01:44:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It is.
[01:44:47] Unknown:
You know? Because right now, you have what? Thirty day grace Fifteen. Before they can fifteen? Well, yeah, that's in, like, fucking five days. I don't know. Right?
[01:45:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Exactly. Or
[01:45:02] Unknown:
the grace is actually up to where they can cite you for, you know
[01:45:10] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, no. They can cite me now. They can cite me now. And and and in four days is when they start adding on extra money.
[01:45:22] Unknown:
Oh.
[01:45:23] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They can yeah. If I get stopped, they can write me a ticket for for having expired tax. But in four days is when, DMV starts saying, okay. You owe us more money as late fees. And it's like, this is none of this is my fault. I have been trying to work on this since last, like, freaking year. And I thought I was making headway, but apparently not.
[01:45:58] Unknown:
Nope.
[01:46:00] Duuude-Ron :
Because, you see, every time I call them, I I write down the date and, you know, kind of a little blip of what of what, you know, was talked about, you know, the answers I found out. And so I've I've I've got I've got a list of every time I've called and everything. Bridgecrest or or the DMV. You know?
[01:46:31] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:46:32] Duuude-Ron :
So, I mean, I don't know why I just do it. So when I'm talking to somebody, because I don't get the same person every time, and sometimes I kinda have to reexplain everything.
[01:46:45] Unknown:
Oh, yeah.
[01:46:47] Duuude-Ron :
That's why I make notes.
[01:46:52] Unknown:
Absolutely. Well, hopefully, you don't get pulled over.
[01:46:57] Duuude-Ron :
I hope not. I hope not.
[01:47:03] Unknown:
Well, I would, you know, I would go in and say, you know, this is my situation. You know? Even though they can't do anything right there at the counter, but, you know, but then that that is somebody that you can go and revisit Right. You know, and to be able to, you know, hopefully get a status. And while you're there, once they find out the status, hopefully, you can get the damn vehicle registered.
[01:47:44] Duuude-Ron :
I I hope so. I mean, I really do. I I don't know. I'm I might try and print this off and take this in and, see if they can. Because on this piece of paper, it says the original motor vehicle title receipt. It's it's it's not the actual title, but it is it is the original motor vehicle title receipt. And it lists my information and the Jeep and,
[01:48:16] Unknown:
you know, and it has a But it's gonna list everything that's on the title, obviously, the VIN, the all that shit. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
[01:48:25] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So I don't know. Maybe maybe I'll go down there and and try and use this because other than that, yeah, I'm I'm lost. I don't know what to do. I really don't. Unless unless unless I ask for a duplicate title from Missouri. It's the only thing I can think of. Right. And then wait on that and then have, Missouri send it to me. And then I can go down and get it redone and tell them to send it to fucking Carvana. I don't care who holds the motherfucker just as long as it says Mississippi.
[01:49:15] Unknown:
Exactly. That's all I can do. Yeah. Yeah.
[01:49:22] Duuude-Ron :
You know, it's it's as simple as that. I don't care who holds the motherfucker. Just make it say Mississippi and let me pay for my tags.
[01:49:35] Unknown:
So Well, maybe if you take that down there, you may be able to renew the tags while this process is going through.
[01:49:48] Duuude-Ron :
Well yeah. Well yeah. Say say if they'll take this and and make a title off of it, that'll be done at the state level then, you know, if this will work, then they should be able to renew my tags right there on the spot, which which is what I would work.
[01:50:08] Unknown:
I would definitely take it in and see what they can do. Right. That kind of stuff.
[01:50:19] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. No. This is yeah. This was not
[01:50:24] Unknown:
It turned into a goddamn clusterfuck You think? Rather quickly. Because it's already gone past a gaggle screw. Now it's coming onto a cluster. A gaggle screw.
[01:50:37] Duuude-Ron :
That's a good one. I like that. Gaggles. Dude, where are you coming up with these, man? These are awesome.
[01:50:42] Unknown:
You you never, when you were in the army, ever heard gaggle screw?
[01:50:49] Duuude-Ron :
No. I'd never heard gaggle screw. I'd always just heard fuck. Oh, yeah.
[01:50:55] Unknown:
But never heard of a gaggle screw.
[01:50:58] Duuude-Ron :
No. Never never heard of a gaggle screw.
[01:51:02] Unknown:
Damn. Wow. I know we used it a lot on the eighty second, but, you know, I can't remember if we if I ever used it in the leg world. So you were a leg. Yeah. Yeah. I was a leg. Yeah. You're a leg, non airborne folk. The dirty nasty leg at that is what we always call them. Right. If you ain't airborne, you're a dirty nasty leg. Where the hell that came from? I have no idea. I never ever researched why non airborne folk are called legs. Don't have to worry about it. They don't they don't float it through the sky.
[01:51:52] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. That's true. Airplanes. They have to walk everywhere.
[01:51:55] Unknown:
That could be. That that very well could be. You got, you know, the airborne infantry that fly in, then you have the regular infantry that walks every place. Really? Okay. I could I can I can get that, but I still need to research it on where that saying came from in the first place? Because after you fucking drop, yeah, you fucking every bit of
[01:52:24] Duuude-Ron :
walking. Oh, that's true. Yeah. That's true.
[01:52:32] Unknown:
Yeah. You the eighty second, they didn't fucking jump into place and be able to get into vehicles. Hell no. Well, it's just You're you're kind of lamberfitties. Lambert.

They made a brigade tobacco run for cigarettes and Copenhagen dip was about, for the whole brigade. It was something like $40,000, and it took two Blackhawk helicopters filled with tobacco for the brigade run. To go get tobacco for everybody in the brigade. Well, shit. That's only thousand fucking people. No. Brigade. Yeah. Brigade task force is about a thousand people.
[01:54:56] Duuude-Ron :

[01:56:06] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. It it's sad. It won't it won't happen.
[01:56:10] Unknown:
No. Because if I was in the military, it sure the hell would never be a fucking smoke free military because I'd be the last one fucking holding out. Right.
[01:56:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's yeah. I went I went to the dock, and then, they asked me about my my smoking and all like that. I said I I just told them smoking. I said, yeah. Pack and a half, two packs a day, thirty plus years. Just shut the fuck in and stop asking me. You
[01:56:43] Unknown:

And they say, you know, that's bad for you. I'm like, you know what? It's been bad for me for the last forty fucking years because I started when I was 14. So forty three years. I know that it's bad for me. Well, do you wanna quit? No. No.
[01:57:20] Duuude-Ron :
If I wanted to quit, I would ask.
[01:57:23] Unknown:
You know, I have tried several times to quit. The only time that I have ever quit was eight weeks of basic training.
[01:57:34] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:57:35] Unknown:
Yeah. When my dumbass when they said in AIT that, you know, we could have tobacco, my dumbass fucking went and bought tobacco. Yep.
[01:57:46] Duuude-Ron :
What? So Well, you see what was funny? We weren't supposed to smoke in basic training, but I I got a couple hits off a couple cigarettes every now and again. We'd we'd hide out in the bathroom at the exhaust fan and and. Oh, yeah. Late at night too. And and and when we knew the fire watch guy, you know, if he liked us. Because Sometimes I just have to pay him with a couple cigarettes of yourself. Hey. Hey. Shit. We were good with that. You know? Yeah. No. You you know, as long as we could puff puff past, we didn't care.
[01:58:28] Unknown:
Yeah. But the problem is is fucking finding a a damn good hiding spot for it. Right.
[01:58:36] Duuude-Ron :
And then and then freaking dispose another cigarettes afterwards. Well, we just flush them, really. And then, yeah, AIT, oh, it was unlike Donkey Kong.
[01:58:47] Unknown:
Unlike Donkey Kong. I ain't heard that one in fucking coon's age. I remember it.
[01:58:57] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. That's not something you hear every once in a while. I'll say it, but that's me.
[01:59:06] Unknown:
Yep. That's not something you hear very often.
[01:59:09] Duuude-Ron :
Right. So, Brian
[01:59:14] Unknown:
Yep.
[01:59:15] Duuude-Ron :
Did y'all do anything crazy in basic training?
[01:59:19] Rich Chelson:
No. Honestly, I was I I was I was actually trying to be, trying to be exemplary there at first. So yeah. Right. No. No. Actually, I I I I graduated out of out of basic, top of the division.
[01:59:41] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, wow.
[01:59:43] Rich Chelson:
Then got to the Kitty Hawkman LS one Lemaster and said, you know what? Fuck you. I ain't doing this bullshit. I'm gonna I'm just gonna be I'm just gonna do the bare minimum so I can hide and keep out of everybody's way. So it goes to show the power of a good leader versus a shitty leader.
[02:00:05] Duuude-Ron :
Right. So But then you see, though, that's the thing, though. You're that that that one dude, you know, wasn't gonna be your leader for the whole time.
[02:00:30] Rich Chelson:
No. But at the same time, within, like, the first week, he'd already said that you can't wait until he gets my till he, until I, became a a third class petty officer so he get so he can get my Chevron. And I was like, oh, okay. Good luck with that.
[02:00:51] Duuude-Ron :
What? He was wanting to bust you back down? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's something he he was
[02:00:57] Rich Chelson:
known to do.
[02:01:01] Duuude-Ron :
Damn. That's crazy.
[02:01:02] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. He was he's an asshole. That he's the one that, Scott's always talking about.
[02:01:08] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right.
[02:01:11] Rich Chelson:
Yep. He might be an asshole, but he's our asshole. I was like, no, dude. Let us let him get his fucking ass kicked. He needs to learn to show his fucking mouth sometime.
[02:01:22] Unknown:
Right. So what what what e rank was he?
[02:01:26] Rich Chelson:
He was, he was in E5. Oh, okay. So yeah. Three no. Sayre. One, two, three. Third, say semen. Fourth is, yeah. Yeah. No? Fourth is, is, E321. So E6E6.
[02:01:54] Duuude-Ron :
It was an E 6 in acting like that as well? First class by the officer.
[02:02:00] Unknown:
Because,
[02:02:02] Duuude-Ron :
you know, some of the e fives I knew, they were dickheads, major dickheads because they got power and they just let it go to their head. But e sixes once people made e six, they were more laid back than anything.
[02:02:19] Rich Chelson:
Nah. No. Well, that was just it. The second class petty officers were usually pretty cool. The e threes or the no e threes. The, third class petty officers, second class petty officers, they were cool. And the most a good deal of the first classes were cool, but it wasn't until you became a chief, which is, a seven, that, you know, which is, you know, their the navy's version of an of an NCO. Right. So but, yeah, the first lot of cool lot of cool first classes, but, yeah, you had o s one Lemaster. Yeah. Yeah. He could he could suck a turd out of my ass for all I care. I'm still not a big fan of him.
So Right.
[02:03:09] Unknown:
Well, I'll tell you what. When I was a first sergeant, I was not I didn't have any fans as for damn sure. But, you know, they also knew that well, in one, I would take care of them. I would go to bat form if they were in the right. But if you weren't in the right, I'm gonna I would bury your ass.
[02:03:35] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[02:03:36] Unknown:
You know, There's no I really don't have any gray area. It's pretty much black and fucking white.
[02:03:45] Rich Chelson:
Right. Hey. Got let me well, okay. Never mind. Looks like she finally gave isn't it stopped? No. I was fixing to say, hey. I may have to answer this call because got my aunt who's trying to call me and keep telling us, like, call you back here in here in an hour. Call you back here in a night. She keeps trying to call. So I don't know if she's just she calls me. Usually, sadly, means she's probably been drinking. Fucking shit. Oh, damn it. Alright. Hey, guys. Let me see what that get to see what it's gonna take to get her off the phone. I'll I'll be back here in a moment.
[02:04:20] Unknown:
Alright. Alright. Alright. That'll be it.
[02:04:28] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yeah. Hopefully, we're back. I didn't end the live, so maybe that's going good. We'll see if dude can get back on, and I think he's trying to get back on. So, yeah, this is this is a a this has been a full night, really, is my trip. And then, of course, we talk about military and trucking and work and all this other stuff, and and then Brian's aunt wants to call him and everything. So yeah. Let's see. Well yeah. Maybe dude's not able to get in. I don't know. Oh, this is a oh, dude.
[02:05:34] Unknown:
You back? Alright. Alright. Gotcha. Okay. Alright. Oh, alright.
[02:05:40] Duuude-Ron :
I was beginning to wonder, dude.
[02:05:42] Unknown:
I was like, what the when he went off, it's like, mine shut off. I'm like, what the hell?
[02:05:48] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you see, normally normally, a Brian cuts out, Zoom, automatically and switches me to being the host.
[02:05:56] Unknown:
Okay.
[02:05:57] Duuude-Ron :
And and I just thought I just oh, well, no. Brian's on his phone too. So so, yeah, normally, when Zoom cuts out, it just switches me to being the host, and things go on, and and no one knows anything except, you know, except for me. You know? So it's it's like and this time when it cut off, I was just like, okay. Alright. Well, we're still broadcasting as far as I know. You know? I haven't changed none of that. So so, yeah, it's I don't know.
[02:06:26] Unknown:
I don't know. You guys are the ones that play with all the buttons. I I just I just press four buttons, and I'm good. Right. Right. You know? You guys start pressing buttons, and everything just goes haywire.
[02:06:45] Duuude-Ron :
That's right. Leave it to us.
[02:06:47] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, yeah, I'm a leave it to you because if I start pressing button, we all fuck.
[02:06:53] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Should've blow up then.
[02:06:56] Unknown:
Yeah. You don't want me fucking pressing buttons. Like, I you know, the system that we have that controls all of our inventory and everything is called SAP. Don't don't give me to tell you what that acronym stands for, but the operating system is SAP. Okay. I have no clue whatsoever as to how to do anything on SAP. Why? Because I don't need I have no purpose to get on a computer work other than my ELD in the truck, and that's it. Right. So, you know, I'll tell these guys when I go to locations, like, you know, if you want me to get on SAP, that's fine. I can fuck some shit up for you. Don't ask me how to fucking fix it, but I can probably fuck some shit up for you. Right.
Yeah. Yeah. No.
[02:08:00] Duuude-Ron :
I mean, it it gets I mean, honestly, messing with computers is not that hard, you know, unless you unless you get into the actual,
[02:08:10] Unknown:
operating system or whatnot. But No. Yeah. No. That that will never happen. No. I'm good. I'm good.
[02:08:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. I used to play around with stuff like that, but I I gave that up probably twenty some years ago, and I've got no inkling to go that deep into computers anymore just because Yeah.
[02:08:36] Unknown:
Yeah. I ain't doing any programming. Well, I fuck. I ain't had a computer in my house in fifth let's see. Twelve years. Now I have two computers at my house, but, you know, one of them is a desktop that's probably hasn't been out of the box now in ten years. So that that fucking operating system I doubt of it can even get anything put on it anymore. And then I I have a laptop that has Windows eight, but can you can you put an operating system in on a computer? Yes. Okay.
[02:09:26] Duuude-Ron :
Yes. You can. The only the only thing that would come into play is the hardware requirements for the operating systems, and you'd have to, you know, figure out the the, hardware that's installed on the computer, the motherboard, the the chipset, and all that. But Oh, okay. I mean, if it if it has the right, specifications, yes. But since those are sold, they're probably running slower than what what these newer, operating systems want. And so, honestly, it would be cheaper just to go buy a new one.
[02:10:12] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[02:10:13] Duuude-Ron :
I mean, it would be yeah. Because on the desktop, you can buy a parts and and, you know, change out the RAM and change out the motherboard and all like that, but you'd be money ahead going and buying buying a new one.
[02:10:29] Unknown:
Oh, okay. So Yeah. Because I got I was looking at them the other day, you know, just for, you know, seeing what is out there possibly for the grandkids. Mhmm. And there was a what was it? It was a my oh, fuck. Microsoft? No. Wait a minute. Hewlett Packard was the, the computer itself. Right. And it and it had six 64 megabytes. And it was only, like you know, it wasn't a freaking major computer, but it was, you know, only $310. Yeah. Yeah. Also yeah. Trying to piece together and, you know, figure out an operating system on the old ones versus, okay, $310 for a brand new computer that has, you know, all the current operating and all that other shit.
[02:11:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Your, yeah, your best bet is don't but just throw the others away because they're non usable for because if if you don't know enough about computers, the old ones are just headaches. Okay? So just go out, spend your $300, you know, plus tax, and get your get a brand new computer. It'll run Windows 10, Windows 11, probably Windows 11 because it's Hewlett Packard. Hewlett Packard only makes Windows computers, so it'll be Windows 11. And, just just go with it from there.
[02:12:27] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:12:31] Duuude-Ron :
Because, I mean, yeah, you don't need I and you see, that's the thing. Most people surf the Internet. That's all they do. You don't need a $2,000 computer to surf the Internet.
[02:12:43] Unknown:
Well, this would just be for schoolwork. Primarily is the reason why I was, you know, looking at them.
[02:12:50] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Well, still, you don't need a $2,000 computer because, you know you know, the school work and stuff like that, it would be more than fast enough
[02:13:02] Unknown:
for Yeah. And it also and the reason why I was looking at this specific one, it was Wi Fi capable, and all of that was inside the computer.
[02:13:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Just about just about every computer nowadays has has all that.
[02:13:21] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[02:13:22] Duuude-Ron :
So, yeah, it's I mean, it's yeah. It can all do wireless. It can it can do you know? They all do about the same. Some do it faster than others, and some have more memory storage. But, again, most people don't save a lot of shit on their on their hard drives.
[02:13:42] Unknown:
They put apps
[02:13:43] Duuude-Ron :
they put apps and stuff, and that's it.
[02:13:47] Unknown:
And most of the time and I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong because I'm probably wrong. You know, the only thing you need as far as the speed and all that stuff is gaming.
[02:13:59] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, and and, and, some programs, you know, regular programs like to have, more speed. You know, they can they can operate on on less speed, but to work efficiently, they want more speed because I've got some programs that they want, minimum of 16 gigs of RAM just to run. You know, they'll work on eight, but it's it's sluggish.
[02:14:34] Unknown:
I think this the one that I was looking at was, like, 64
[02:14:40] Duuude-Ron :
Gigs of RAM. RAM. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. That's fine. That that would be that would run that would run anything you need.
[02:14:49] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[02:14:51] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Yeah. And and most hard drives are 500 gigs or a one terabyte, maybe two. So you know? And that's again, for what most people do on them, that is more than enough.
[02:15:09] Unknown:
Right.
[02:15:10] Duuude-Ron :
So now if they're doing video editing stuff like that, then, yeah, no. No. You need to spend some money. But, you know, if they're just doing schoolwork and surfing the Internet, $300 will definitely get that job done very well.
[02:15:30] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Yeah. And that's the primary aspect is, you know, is just the schoolwork. Right.
[02:15:40] Duuude-Ron :
So yeah. I'd do that. And shoot shoot. Get one for yourself, dude.
[02:15:50] Unknown:
You know, I will I'll get back, and it was on Amazon. I'll get back with you. I'll send you a picture of what the specs are in the computer that I'm looking at, and you can let me know if it's a, you know, a good investment. I'm sure it is for the price. I have no doubt, but I'd just rather send you a picture and say, okay. Yeah. This, this, and this. You know? Yeah. You're good to go.
[02:16:18] Duuude-Ron :
Well, what's the name of it? I can look it up.
[02:16:21] Unknown:
Oh, fuck. You would have to ask me that shit.
[02:16:25] Duuude-Ron :
Well well, you know what? I talk on a laptop. So, I mean
[02:16:30] Unknown:
Yeah. You know?
[02:16:32] Duuude-Ron :
I got browser. I shoot. I I run, like, three different browsers. Well, four, actually. No. Three. Oh, well, you know,
[02:16:42] Unknown:
sure. Okay. I run zero. Right. Hero. I run zero hero.
[02:16:53] Unknown:
Yeah. No. I I got I'm not that I'm not that damn sophisticated.
[02:16:59] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I use Chrome, Opera, and Firefox once in a while.
[02:17:06] Unknown:
Sure. Okay. Every bit of it, I I would have to agree with you on that. And so well,
[02:17:17] Unknown:
shit. Well, it fucking didn't save in my in my Amazon, so I'm gonna have to figure that out.
[02:17:31] Duuude-Ron :
I'm looking at your browsing history.
[02:17:36] Unknown:
Oh, I already got it open for let's see.
[02:17:46] Unknown:
See if I can't find it real quick. I think this was the one. Okay. So it's got
[02:18:01] Unknown:

[02:18:43] Duuude-Ron :
h laptop?
[02:18:45] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:18:46] Duuude-Ron :
14 inch HP laptop. I can find it just off that. Shit. There's one for, $2.72 on sale.
[02:18:59] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:19:00] Duuude-Ron :
$3.49. Yeah. I saw you back, dude. You you cut all of us out. It didn't switch.
[02:19:10] Rich Chelson:
Did it jump does it dump everybody?
[02:19:13] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It yeah. Yeah. It dumped all of us, dude. Normally normally, it switches over and just Yeah. You know? Makes me the host passed it over to you. But Yeah. Yeah. Normally, it switches, but it didn't this time. It dude called me. I said, hang on. And and I was I was going back in. He's like, I'll get back on. I said, alright, man. And I was like, I was like, okay. Well
[02:19:37] Rich Chelson:
so, yeah, we'll we'll have two audio files. Yeah. We're gonna have two audios this run. So, man,
[02:19:42] Duuude-Ron :
that's fine. I can I can put them together and blend them? I'm not worried.
[02:19:48] Rich Chelson:
Yeah, dude. There's a a Yeah. When, when we do or when you do and and wherever it all cuts off at, we need to find a good fart sound just knowing that whatever happened, it just took a big shit.
[02:20:02] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me make a note, and and I'll I'll do that. Yeah, dude. Actually, I'm saying they've got one. It's an HP, 14 inch, 16 gigs of RAM, 320 gigs of storage, Intel quad core n forty one twenty, Windows 11, for $2.72. It's normally $3.99.
[02:20:37] Unknown:
Oh, okay. But I have not come across that one yet.
[02:20:41] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. But yeah. No. Those those would work. The the only thing is when you get it, do not sign up for the one year Microsoft Office because there's a free there's a there's a couple free versions that work exactly like Microsoft Office, and, yeah, you don't have to pay for them at all. There's LibreOffice.
[02:21:04] Rich Chelson:
There's OpenOffice. There's Google, Docs. I mean, there's a lot of different ways you can do that.
[02:21:11] Duuude-Ron :
And they all and they all intermingle and work with Microsoft Office. Yep. So yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. It is yeah. It's funny when you get a new laptop. Oh oh oh, get get Microsoft Office, you know, one year free. Fuck you.
[02:21:31] Rich Chelson:
No. Thank you.
[02:21:32] Duuude-Ron :
No. Because after that year, you want a hundred bucks or a hundred and 30.
[02:21:37] Rich Chelson:
Closer to 400, so half the time.
[02:21:41] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I think I think if you just keep Microsoft Office as a subscription, it's, like, $1.30 a year. Yeah. As a as
[02:21:51] Rich Chelson:
a software as a service. Yeah. Yeah.
[02:21:54] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. If you buy it outright, then, yeah, it's like $400. And it's like, no. I don't I don't care what you do because
[02:22:02] Rich Chelson:
You do not provide that amount of value.
[02:22:05] Duuude-Ron :
No. Not at all. I use I use LibreOffice, and and I've even, donated to them.
[02:22:11] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:22:12] Duuude-Ron :
Because, I mean, it you can save in so many different formats. It's unreal. You know? Yep. So
[02:22:28] Rich Chelson:
Take everything. Save it as a PDF if you want.
[02:22:32] Duuude-Ron :
Right. So But you see, lee LibreOffice comes with a PDF reader, editor. Mhmm. And you can save it as a PDF, and Microsoft Office will run it.
[02:22:49] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:22:53] Duuude-Ron :
So, yeah, it's yeah. It's, that's why, yeah, that I gave up Microsoft Office years ago.
[02:23:00] Rich Chelson:
Same here.
[02:23:02] Duuude-Ron :
Now now, you know, it's funny. A lot of people bitch about the paperclip. I always kinda like the paperclip.
[02:23:08] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You kinda like clippy?
[02:23:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I did. That yeah. It was just I I mean, it was okay for a little bit, but after a while, I got annoyed with it.
[02:23:19] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Just about everybody did. Right.
[02:23:27] Duuude-Ron :
But but, yeah, I gotta say I gotta say back back when they had it for a minute, I I enjoyed that. I just I just thought it was, you know, cool. Right. Because it it was because that was you know, most most programs didn't have something extra like that. You know? Uh-huh. They were just programs and, you know, at least at least Microsoft Office had had a little, you know, moving icons. Oh, hey. Oh, yeah. You you have an iPhone. I read an article today. Well, this is for you too. Keep up on your, updates with your iPhone.
[02:24:14] Unknown:
Yep.
[02:24:15] Duuude-Ron :
Because, yeah, they're guess they're starting to, hammer Android and iPhone, operating systems trying to exploit them. Oh, yeah.
[02:24:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It they actually recommend about, the, the more paranoid safety folks, they recommend you restart your phone once, once a day, and I'm like, oh, yeah. Well, we ain't playing that game. So once a week will work.
[02:24:44] Duuude-Ron :
So Yeah. You you
[02:24:46] Unknown:
You said did you say reset or restart?
[02:24:50] Rich Chelson:
Restart. I mean, oh, you really wanna be secure, then, yeah, you re you just go through to a factory reset.
[02:24:58] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. That would be a lot of fun.
[02:25:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. No. I I I norm I normally, restart mine once a week if I remember. But as as far as updating, normally, I just let, you know, the software updater do it. Yeah. But but when I read that article, I checked, and there was a major operating system upgrade for my phone. Oh, yeah. And it hadn't come through yet, and I'm like, no. I'll take it. Thank you. And so so I went ahead and downloaded it. I mean and, yeah, it changed the whole Outlook or changed The whole layout? Yeah. Well, it my icons are still there, but everything is is a much more natural look, I guess.
Okay. You know? I mean, it it didn't move any of the icons. It just, layout's not the word. It's, it's, I guess, the eye candy of of Yeah. When everything is done.
[02:26:07] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I know what you're talking about.
[02:26:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I can't I can't think of the right word, but I kinda like it. It's it's it's it's it's actually kinda cool. And that's like that's like now all my you see, before, you know, when I go to all my icons, they, they used to be on, like, four different pages I would have to swipe over. You know? Not now. I just I just swipe down or swipe up, and they're all on on on one page. There you go. Yeah. So that's that's actually kinda cool because I don't I don't have to Nope. Not on that page. Nope. Not on that page. Nope. Not on that page. I just scroll up. I still probably miss it, but, oh, well.
So, dude, I I I forgot. What is, the tip of the week?
[02:27:06] Unknown:
Oh, well,
[02:27:11] Rich Chelson:
Tip of the week. Remember that there's a tip of the week.
[02:27:16] Unknown:
No shit. Yeah. My mind has been so fucking occupied with with other things in life that's going on in life right now. So let's see. Tip of the day. I think I remember what I said last week. Last week's tip of the day was don't let the door hit you where the good Lord splits you. Correct? Yep. Yeah. Okay.
[02:27:49] Rich Chelson:
Love our sign, better sign.
[02:27:51] Unknown:
Alright. Tip of the day. Do not have a screen door on a submarine.
[02:28:04] Rich Chelson:
That is very helpful. Yes. Yes. That And wise on top of that.
[02:28:09] Duuude-Ron :
It would be very wise. Now now what if you had to what what if you had a a a screen door on the inside of the outside door? Would that make sense?
[02:28:21] Rich Chelson:
Now why would you do that?
[02:28:24] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I I don't know.
[02:28:28] Unknown:
Keep the bugs out? Well, you know, if you have, you know, most of the stuff away or or the shrimp. You know? But still, if you had a screen door on the screen when you opened up the big part, you don't see you know, if there's any fish on the outside of the sun. Right?
[02:28:51] Rich Chelson:
Well, yeah. It wouldn't help if you knew if there were fish. True.
[02:28:58] Duuude-Ron :
You you could get that fresh sea air.
[02:29:03] Unknown:
There you go. Or better you step outside to have a smoke.
[02:29:09] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Shit. I did find out on my house on the front porch. It used to be a screened in front porch.
[02:29:20] Rich Chelson:
Oh, and someone took it down.
[02:29:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. So, I I've actually, I don't know, a couple weeks ago. I was sitting outside and enjoying it, and I I was I was I was kinda looking around everything. It's like, alright. How can I screen this back in? You know? Not not sure if I really wanna do it, but kinda wanting to do it because Lowe's down here sells screen doors for, like, $65. They're cheap. Okay. It was 65.
[02:29:58] Unknown:
So the half screen door is a full door screen. Basically, the frame, and then it's all the rest of the screen.
[02:30:06] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, it's got it's got a wood, you know, wooden divider and stuff like that, but, yeah, it's all screen. Okay.
[02:30:15] Unknown:
Because you remember back in the days when they had, you know, half the screen with the windows and the metal bottom and all that other good shit? Yeah. The the desk stoppers.
[02:30:26] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. No. This here this here is an actual screen door. Oh, okay. There's Got it. There's no metal. It's all wood. So but yeah. I Okay. Yeah. I'd gotten to, thinking about that. And, I I just had to look on Lowe's and because I didn't know. Because I know what North Lowe's does not sell screen doors because I guess people don't buy them or whatnot. But I looked on lowes.com for down here, and sure as shit, they keep them in stock. Grandma approved. I'm like, you know, I'm like, you know what? That would be cool to put a screen door on the front and back of my house. I could open the doors and
[02:31:12] Unknown:

I I think it was like they didn't have air conditioning in this house till, like, the seventies.
[02:32:06] Rich Chelson:
I believe that.
[02:32:08] Duuude-Ron :
You know? And I'm like, oh my god.
[02:32:12] Rich Chelson:
That's crazy. You know? Because, you know, think about it. Heats in front of the in front of the windows.
[02:32:17] Duuude-Ron :
Right? And fans in the windows? Because, I mean, that I mean, the the freaking humidity is just oh, it you know, it it it's rough.
[02:32:29] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:32:30] Duuude-Ron :
You know? I mean, yeah, I enjoy it, but I've got AC to go into. So it's like, when I get too hot, I just go inside, dry off a little bit, and then walk back outside. Poof. I'm I'm I'm wet again.
[02:32:46] Rich Chelson:

Her her parents, I think, it was in the seventies when they put it in. I was like, oh my god. That's crazy. That's that's kinda tough. I don't care who you are. Exact well, I mean, that's
[02:33:20] Rich Chelson:
how a lot of them did. I mean, hell, even my grandparents, for the longest time, they, they didn't have, air conditioning in their house. And then late eighties, they stuck they put a couple swamp coolers in. Well, swamp coolers is better than nothing. Oh, yeah. The only problem is they don't work very good if you're in a humid environment. So
[02:33:45] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. No. Yeah. Yeah. If you're in a humid environment, swamp coolers are not efficient.
[02:33:55] Unknown:
No.
[02:33:57] Rich Chelson:
I don't care who you are. But, yeah, there was many nights. I remember going to bed in the front bedroom there at my great grandparents' house there in Pottsville, and all they'd have is they'd have, two windows open and a, and a fan running. And, boy, you loved it when that fan comes sweeping across. You're like, oh, yeah. Uh-uh. Oh, yeah. Uh-oh.
[02:34:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. We, when I I don't know. I was probably 11 or 12. We lived in a house, didn't have no AC, and and we had a big ass window in our fan. And we slept upstairs. And, Yeah. That that fan, we'd flip that on high, and, I'd I'd tell you what, it moves some air. It it pulled hot air out pretty quick and made it tolerable. So so, yeah, I do I do I I do remember them days. I just don't I just don't wish to revisit them. Yep. But I will if I have to. You know? But but, actually, before that, I've got a brand new, window AC unit that's still in the box that I'll pull out and fire up the generator first.
[02:35:27] Rich Chelson:
There you go.
[02:35:30] Unknown:
Yeah. I got that I got that for my tent. Generator air conditioner fucking there. Right? I am no long I am no longer camping. I will motherfucking glamp.

Dude, I remember I I remember the first time you freaking told me you had an AC unit for your for your tent. I bought shit.
[02:35:53] Rich Chelson:
I was like, oh my god. Well, apparently, Matt thought that was a good idea because I remember sure the the second, second, event that, tears did. Heck, he had a had a AC unit stuck right there in front of his, in in one of his tents.
[02:36:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Damn right. Know. Yeah. He he saw Ron did it, and he's like, oh, fuck. No. I gotta do it.

[02:36:39] Rich Chelson:
I don't like to like to do it either, but, I mean, heck, that's what the river's for is to go jump in it and cool off and then go to bed.
[02:36:48] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah, that'd be cool. But, yeah, wake up three hours later at 01:30 in the morning, sweating your ass off, wait you Oh, yeah. No. I did that, definitely over Moyers.
[02:37:00] Rich Chelson:
