I'm just a wee little squirrel in a big man's world just trying to get in that.  

[00:00:05] Unknown:

Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to Two Grumpy Vets and a duuude. I am your host, Bryan. I am here with my other host, Rich Chelson, and then my other host,   the duuude. And we are here today having a great old time. We've got a   got a great show. What we're gonna talk about, honestly, I don't know. Oh, because I actually I went off completely flubbed what I was gonna start with because I was I had a whole line of of jokes that I was gonna make up about, about,   the duuude being in the land of the temple.   Rich being in the land,   of   of    holy squirrels.  

And mine, I was actually gonna just use the, the the random fact that my,   town I live in is actually named after a king that was the king of both,   both the,   the Netherlands   and England.   But Mhmm. Anyhow, so I completely flubbed that up. So, anyhow, hey, guys. How y'all doing? Oh, yeah. Okay, Brian. I, you know, that that actually We're off to a great start tonight. Yeah. Alright.  

[00:01:13] Unknown:

Well, you know, obviously, it's been So what has been so then what is the name of the town?   Canute.   Oh, okay.  

[00:01:22] Unknown:

King Canute? King Canute. Yep. There is a there there   King Canute was a was the king of of England for a while, but he was also the king of the Netherlands.   Oddly enough, I don't know how he was able to be king of both, but somehow he was able to. And they,   he was very much beloved   in in, the Netherlands,   during his rule, from what everything I've understood.   This is back when   the Vikings used to come over and and have,   pick up their girlfriends out of England. So   so it's a little wild.  

[00:02:02] Unknown:

Leave the wive at home. Leave the wive at home and go pick up the girlfriends and then go sailing and take them back. And then   oh, Lord have mercy.   So, so, so how did you figure out that, Canute  

[00:02:20] Unknown:

was named after a king?   Well, because,   back in,   2007,   while my kids were in school, that was   Oklahoma's,   Centennial   celebration.   They joined the, union in 1907.   And, so they were throwing out little interesting facts of all the school of all the towns that were around us. Like, we have one town called Red Trop.   And the only reason why it's called Red Trop is because there was already a porter Oklahoma,   and the guy's last name was Porter,   and he wanted to make sure he had a town named after him. And since Porter was taken, he just spelled his name backwards, and we got retroped.   And then, Canute was another one where they talked about it was named after   a the   the, another king in of in Netherlands.  

And,   and yeah. So it was just kinda   I I forget exactly what they said, why how Elk City got named for,   Elk City.   But, but yeah.   Weatherford is named after a guy. His last name was Weatherford.   Clinton,   not a clue.   But  

[00:03:37] Unknown:

You, sure, you, sure, Bill and Hillary wasn't in on that one? Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. That's that's Arkansas.   Well, I I mean,   where they live in Arkansas, isn't too far from Oklahoma, man. Yeah.  

[00:03:53] Unknown:

Oh, and, and we've already got our first correction.  

[00:03:56] Unknown:

What's that?   Pontification.  

[00:04:00] Unknown:

Okay. It is about speaking like, like we were saying, because I was giving out kind of what the definition of   pontificate was.  

[00:04:08] Unknown:

Uh-huh.  

[00:04:09] Unknown:

But it's too,   not boldly, but,   oh, crap. What's the word?   Kinda snobbishly   give a speech is essentially what it boils down to, where you're given because it's, it's the pontiff.   So you're with, with, with authority, you're speaking with authority. So it can be that you're pontificating   and you're speaking with authority, but it also can be that you're just   speaking. Yeah. You know, speaking   like a bully. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So speaking  

[00:04:44] Unknown:

speaking down to people?  

[00:04:45] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. Pontification   would also be kind of speaking down with people too. Yeah. Oh, okay.  

[00:04:51] Unknown:

So it all depends on your tone that you have as to the meaning of pontification   or pontificate.   You know, I just love saying that word now. Thanks, Bryan.   My pleasure.   I just love saying that word pontificate.  

[00:05:08] Unknown:

That just, yeah. Today's word is convivial.  

[00:05:14] Unknown:

So what? Who? Convivial.  

[00:05:17] Unknown:

Convivial. Alright.   You're gonna have to give me a discount.  

[00:05:20] Unknown:

And the reason and I know this one because when I was actually   toying with the using the word   as the name of my of a social media company.   But anyhow, it just means friendly,   friendly, and inviting.  

[00:05:38] Unknown:

Really?   Yeah.   When,   did you happen to find out in in what time frame this this word was used in?  

[00:05:49] Unknown:

No. But I have heard it say,   I I you don't hardly ever hear the word being used.   Right. But I have heard   it mentioned in a couple of, a couple books before.  

[00:06:02] Unknown:

And,   you know, I gotta, yo, dude, back up a couple sentences.   We need to talk about these couple words here,   you know?  

[00:07:37] Unknown:

[00:08:39] Unknown:

Well, you you know you know, it'd be funny.   You know, when that happens, if, they can see you blow a kiss back at him and just, and just watch him just shit themselves.   Seriously. I mean, they'd be like   and then just speed up and take off because they're like, oh my god. He's gay.   No. No. He can't get on me. I don't know. I'm just I'm just making shit up. You know, I've I've I've gotten told that I'm

[00:09:29] Unknown:

Right.   You know, push past,   push.   What's that saying?   Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of my way.  

[00:09:42] Unknown:

Right.   Right.   And Yeah. It's funny. Cars have a hard time with that.   They have a hard time following those simple   little instructions.  

[00:09:54] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:09:56] Unknown:

I know. I I it's like, I don't get it. It's simple.   Either take the lead,   follow behind me, or just get the fuck out of my way.  

[00:10:07] Unknown:

Yeah. Because I'm coming through. I had a semi   I had a semi today, and I'm running with a freaking   hazmat.   Okay?   This guy   go through   temple.   He was on his phone or or whatever.   So I'm at full   throttle   and I can get it to get it up to speed. Unrestime. And keep it squeaky. For her.   That's right. And and I passed him.   And then   he comes   on me.  

[00:10:46] Unknown:

And, I mean, you could probably  

[00:10:50] Unknown:

find   cannot go any faster than that unless I'm unless I'm going   and it picks the 60.   And he pronounces me   not at a good rate. I know he was doing 70 miles an hour. Gets in front of me and hits the brake.   So he's back down to 62 miles an hour.   I'm like,   what   did that just prove?   So I get out from behind him   and try to pass him, and he decides he wants to speed up.   And I finally got around him, and he does it again.   And this is a a semi driver.   Yeah. I'm like,   dude, what is your problem?  

[00:11:41] Unknown:

He's a little boy.  

[00:11:43] Unknown:

That's that Drive. Yeah. Some people like just like   some people have a big case. The me me first me first. So they they gotta be first.  

[00:11:52] Unknown:

They're just little boys and little girls that that act like that because,   oh my   God, you pissed them off because you didn't do what they thought you should have done. So they're gonna do everything to piss you off   and they're gonna act whatever way. And I don't care if they're 80 or   20.  

[00:12:11] Unknown:

They're a little. Yeah. They get mad because they they, they wanna try to blame you for your their emotional distress.   Yeah. And it's not your it's not your doing. They're they're mad because they made themselves mad.   But again, that's,   that that that's humans in in a nutshell. We're always getting mad at the fact that somebody else,   did something   that we did. And they didn't make us happy.   And so we take it very personal.   Speaking of personally and stuff, you were, you were saying earlier today, Rich, you had bit of a a bit of an adventure today.  

[00:12:49] Unknown:

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this,   last night after our alright. After,   vet call last night, you know, it was it was cool, but, you know, it was like, you know, we all jumped off around 10 o'clock or so.   And, you know, I'm sitting there just messing around and finally it's like, man, I'm tired. I can't stay awake. So it's like, okay. I freaking go to bed.   Take them headache powders,   take some gabapentin,   2 of them. I'm like, you know, alright. Ought to be good. Ought to be passed out and and be roaring. No.   No. No.  

Laid down in bed.   Eyes went.   I'm like, what the hell?   So I get up. Right?   It's like, because I'm sorry. I can't lie in bed and be awake.   And, so I got up   and, was, messing around. And about 1:30, I finally went to bed. Well, apparently those gabapentin decided to wait till then to kick in   and didn't tell me about it.   Because I woke, I woke up at 11 o'clock today   and I was like, what the hell? Oh, shit.   I mean, yeah.   My left side was like, dude, you do that again, and I'm really gonna fucking hurt. Like, and I'm thinking, like, you don't hurt now. Come on, dude.   And so,   I get up, take my pills,   and I get my first cup of coffee.  

1st cup, single cup.   And and it's like, I've I've gotta have my cigarette.   I walk outside.   My neighbor sees he's outside.   Jesus, sweetheart. And but,   we start talking.   And then it wasn't   10 minutes later.   The guy, a couple of doors down, Mr. Warren, nice guy,   just awesome Southern gentleman   comes up and wanting to talk.   Now mind you, I'm doing all this on 1 cup of coffee,   1.   Okay.   My brain has been gone since.   And, and,   so, so, so, Mr. Warren and I got done talking and of course me, and   once he left, I looked as soon as he I said, I'm getting another cup of coffee.   I cannot talk anymore unless I got more coffee in me. So I made another cup,   went outside and, you know, cause cause I like to have a couple cigarettes in the morning just to, you know,   get everything   rolling and smoking and, you know, all like that kick started.  

And,   and then,   I was like,   I need to go into town. And I I had plans to go play ham radio today. That didn't happen. Because by the time I got out the house,   it was already 2:15.   So from 11 to 2:15,   I only had 2 cups of coffee.   And I, and, and, and, and, and I was,   I had, I had   more conversation   than I had coffee.   That's not a good sign.  

[00:16:05] Unknown:

Well, that's not good. It's not.  

[00:16:07] Unknown:

It's not that it's not a good sign.   It is definitely not a good combination.  

[00:16:14] Unknown:

Right.   And so and so actually,   I came in, took the shower,   went out, did my running. And then next thing I know, oh shit, it's 5 o'clock.   And I'm thinking, fuck, I gotta get home and eat.   And then   we got to do our show.   I'm like, Holy crap. And I'm, I'm all the way over in past Kigoula.   And so I come back.   I stopped at the store, got a couple of things, made it back here   and,   finally   got everything to eat and all like that   and got done about 20 till 7.   And it's like, I still,   This is like my 4th cup of coffee   today.   No. Yeah. Yeah. Normally, I have a pot.  

I don't have cup.   I have a pot.   So, yeah, that's that's been that's been my day.  

[00:17:11] Unknown:

Well, it means you probably,   probably actually sleep tonight, you know.   If you're if you haven't gotten yourself out, overly octane, it it should be,   should be able to kinda   pass out at a fairly respectable hour.  

[00:17:26] Unknown:

Well, I hope so. I mean, either way either way, how  

[00:17:31] Unknown:

Speaking of octane.   Speak speaking of octane.   Right. I think I'm going to go, make some 93%   octane.  

[00:17:43] Unknown:

Okay.   It's called instant.   Hey, that works too.   But,   the thing is though, is that,   I will be up regardless of how many hours sleep I get. I will be up by, by a 7:30 tomorrow.

[00:22:00] Unknown:

Well, that's why when my son was   1, 2 years old,   and he got in got around to watching PBS and all that,   and Barney would come on. We made it I personally made it a point to point out that Barney was actually very evil. He hypnotized   kids so he could eat them.   And   he told he told his kindergartner   kindergarten,   teacher that or pre, pre not kindergarten, but pre k teacher that. He's like, oh, we don't play with Barney. Barney's evil.   He eats kids.   And, yeah. So we ended up having to have a discussion with the, with the kindergarten or pre k teacher.   Yeah. You said That first week.

Well, I've I've sat there and watched rambunctious   kids who are just climbing the walls,   just bouncing off of everything,   turn that purple dinosaur on and just watch them go   become docile,   slack jawed, just   glazed overlooking on the television. It's like,   that's scary. No. We're not I mean,   now we enjoyed Teletubbies.   Teletubbies was was pretty darn cool,   but it was just funny because their whole actions were just   so quirky enough that we it was like, okay. Yeah.   Then that same company,   I think it's the same company or at least from England,   they had another one that came out that was just a absolute horrendous   terrible mess. I think it was called boobah   or something like that. And that one was a dis was was rather disturbing.  

Of course, you asked my wife, and the only one that nobody no one in our house could actually ever fully,   fully like,   off of the PBS kids stuff was, Okayu. He was just the whiniest little fucking bitch you ever come across.

I know I know there's   there's one down through there that that they,   no one can really catch you. So   so, yeah. And and since you are since you are   non computer   literate or,   you know,   then the bill man   can't find you.   You know?   So they would just,   you know, be like,   shit. Write it off and then   put it on your credit report.

[00:37:15] Unknown:

Well well, what what, what a language are you learning? Because I see you have gone 5 days streak with Duolingo.   I'm doing Italian.  

[00:37:25] Unknown:

Oh, you're do okay. Okay. Yeah. And the reason why Italian, because it's not Spanish.   It's close to Spanish. It's just it's right there next door. I mean, they're   they say c for yes and no for no. And and you have, and you have latte and and and and cappuccino   and,   and   c.   What is the,   what is the,   say Leucro is for sugar.   Oh, shoot. What was the   see,   cafe is coffee,   croissant.   Oh, it's Coroneto.   Yeah.   It's   just Coroneto.   Coroneto.   Not Coroneto. It is corn, c o r n eto.  

[00:38:24] Unknown:

Cornetto.   Cornetto.  

[00:38:27] Unknown:

I believe that's what it is. Yeah. That's the one that keeps hanging me,   Giving me a big, a big prop.  

[00:38:38] Unknown:

Bless you. Bless you, Rod. Thank you. So why can't they just say croissant?  

[00:38:43] Unknown:

Because that would be French.  

[00:38:46] Unknown:

And God forbid if the French and the Italian Can't have the French,  

[00:38:51] Unknown:

Italian speaking French. What type of world you get that you fall into? Gee whiz, man. Oh my god. World War 3 would start over that, dude.  

[00:39:01] Unknown:

Oh, lord. Well, that showed that that shows to be how stupid I am, I guess.  

[00:39:07] Unknown:

You're not stupid.   And just   it's just some it's just something you had   had never learned.   Yeah. It it and it doesn't make you stupid.  

[00:39:21] Unknown:

You know? You know? And   I always and that's very true. That is very true. You don't   you don't have the knowledge   because you've never been in that situation.   But the one   phrase that I always   come back around   when   people are talking about, like, country music or the you know, talking about   heavy metal rock and do this and that.   The statement always comes around   from smoking a bandit   when the bandit is telling frog,   it all depends   on   where you're at in the United States as to how stupid   you are.  

[00:40:11] Unknown:

Mhmm.  

[00:40:13] Unknown:

Which is very true.   You know?   If you don't know,   like,   Louisiana   is French and Cajun   like that.   Right. Okay. The way they speak and all that other stuff   and,   you know, their heritage.   And if you're somebody from New York,   you know, you don't have a clue   on,   you know, their heritage.   And they may not have a clue on   a New Yorker's   heritage,   but it all depends on where you're from in the United States as to how stupid you are.  

[00:40:53] Unknown:

Right. But see, the thing is, you see, actually, that's where the the word in that case should be ignorant   as in as in the dictionary term and actually stupid.   Believe it or not, this is my opinion now. This is not based on any fact   because I haven't looked it up. But in, but in my opinion, stupid   is basically doing something   that you know   is not gonna work   and is and is not gonna be right. That's stupid,   but that's my opinion.  

[00:41:25] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:41:26] Unknown:

So   but yeah. No. And and see, that's the thing. You know? If you don't know, say and I mean, yeah, I've called myself stupid before, but   because I've done something, now when it's not gonna fucking work, so I call myself a dumbass.  

[00:41:40] Unknown:

Yeah. Well yeah.   Yeah. That's about to And we call and we'll call you a dumbass too. You know? Right.   You know, just not yourself will be called dumb you calling yourself a dumbass.   We will help you with that  

[00:41:54] Unknown:

Silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row.   Right.   So the the the cockles of of the heart is just, you know,   the the the flora,   whatever, now and I'd have to look it up. I can't quite remember what a cockle chiller is.   But if I'm thinking right, it's some type of flower.

Yeah.   I think it is. I I'm not sure. Like I said, I was I was god, I was a kid when I heard that.   And, I mean, it was used,   a few times, and so I learned, you know, I learned I learned what it meant   and,   everything. And, yeah, I've just I've used it. I hell. I thought I thought everybody knew it.

[00:44:46] Unknown:

No. I I wouldn't let that spill, but yeah.   Yeah. That was  

[00:44:52] Unknown:

that was Well, once you go ahead and enlighten the,   the, the,   the audience on that little adventure there, Rich. Oh, that adventure. Yeah, that was,  

[00:45:02] Unknown:

that was, yeah, we had just,   recorded last week   and   computer had had 2 2 weeks, 2 weeks, maybe, if that. Anyway, I went to get a drink and I kept it near my laptop, and I thought I had a hold of it.   And, yeah, my hand said otherwise.  

[00:45:22] Unknown:

And so it just he went off and broke the cardinal rule   of, of,   of laptops.   Never have your drink close to the laptop.  

[00:45:34] Unknown:

Yeah. I broke that cardinal rule and it spilled all over this laptop and the screen flashed and flickered and I'm like, oh,   no. And,   and I tried to wipe up the water and all like that, and I had   to tilt   tilt the laptop.   And and then   I hit the power button. It said no bootable disk.   Oh, crap. So now this was on Friday when this happened.   So I called because I bought it from Best Buy. I called Best Buy, set it up to go see him the next day,   went saw   him, took the computer, showed the dude and he saw the same thing I did. No bootable disk. He's like, yo, dude.   Can't help you. You're done.  

I'm like, well, dude, I need a laptop regardless. So I, apparently, I'm gonna go have to buy another one.   It's like, okay. And so he put   that let the the laptop I brought in on the back counter.   Well, I'm over at the laptops looking   and, oh my God, I see this one here,   24 gigs of Ram, 2 terabyte hard drive its own separate,   g force RTX video card with 6 gigs of Ram by itself,   you know, OLED display. I'm just like, I'm just like nutting on myself. It's just was awesome.   And   then the salesman guy comes up, and we was talking about it. We were geeking out over it   because he hadn't even had a chance to look at it.  

And,   so I I bit the bullet and went ahead and   bought this, and   I won't tell you how much it costs because it's it's not cheap.   I mean, it's not as cheap as one would think, but it's not cheap   because  

[00:47:20] Unknown:

Okay. So enlighten us. So please enlighten us. What   what was the ballpark?

[00:47:36] Unknown:

Okay.  

[00:47:37] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. Grand plus.   Well, let's just say that. I mean, yeah, it was pricey.   But anyway, so I get it. And then Sunday,   Best Buy calls me.   It's about 1 o'clock in the afternoon   And, I'm like, what the hell is Best Buy calling me for?   So I answered it and he's like, hey, dude.   It's Aaron from Best Buy. Remember me? I said, yeah. What's up? He's like, you know, your computer you brought in? I said, yeah.   I said,   I said, dude,   it was sitting on the back counter and I just figured I'd try it for whatever. He says, it works.   I said, get out of here. He's like, no, man. It works.  

And so   I was I was like, what? He's like, well, if you want, you can come get it. It is your computer. You bought and paid for it. I said, dude,   I just bought a freaking computer. He says, yeah. I know I looked.   And I saw the one you bought. And he's like, dude, that yeah. That thing rocks.   He's like, well, hang on.   He's like, I can,   return this   and get you your money back. I said, really?   He said, yeah.   It works. It's working so I can return this to the manufacturer.   Hell, yes. Sign me up.   So he did that. Shit. The money was back in my account by Monday.   And this on Sunday when he did it, money was back in my account on Monday because I I was like, yeah. There after after having this laptop,   yeah,   it'd be really, really hard to go back to anything less. Oh, okay. So that's a detail I didn't understand.  



[00:49:13] Unknown:

So you actually returned your old laptop that you you baptized,   with with with an accident.  

[00:49:20] Unknown:

Well, well say, I was thinking since it was so new, I was thinking, hopefully   praying   that, that there was,   there was a chance that I could maybe get it returned, exchanged, whatever, something like that.   Right. Okay. I wasn't I wasn't you know? But yeah. No. They said the manufacturer warranties   only covers defect,   not spills.   So yeah. So yeah. That's   so yeah. And then and then when the guy flipped it on and it started working,   he called me up and he's like, dude, you can come get it if you want. It's yours.   And then he's like, well, since it's working,   you know, he says, I just wanna tell him it's, you know, water damage. I'll just send it back to the company.

[00:56:44] Unknown:

So  

[00:56:45] Unknown:

Okay. Because you Have you had the, have you had the combat training yet? I think I'm doing that now. Oh, Okay. So, yeah, it's just, you just gotta figure out how to, how to actually,  

[00:56:56] Unknown:

whoop his ass.   Yeah.  

[00:56:59] Unknown:

Okay. Actually, you just gotta figure out how to sneak past his ass, I think, is what it is. Unless it's the one where you gotta sit there and punch him and then, yeah, that gets to be kinda.  

[00:57:10] Unknown:

Well, I I think I think I have to punch him because,   the few times that I have, I I see his little status bar go down go down. And it's like, I know I'm hitting you harder than that, you motherfucker, but   it it it only goes down so far. And then he's like, yeah. Okay. We're done.  

[00:57:28] Unknown:

Boom. You're done. Okay. Now now if he's pulling out a gun and you don't you've and you're not able to have the gun yet, then no. It's, I would say probably is closer to you needing   that or,   actually might be what it is is you need to sneak up behind them and you, hit grab.   Okay.   And then when you grab him   from behind, you have the ability to either incapacitate   or kill.   Okay.  

[00:57:59] Unknown:

Okay. I'll try that then because you And I think grab is square if I'm thinking, right?   Yeah.   Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think you're right. Grab is square.   But, yeah, I'll try that because,   yeah, that's that's, where I'm stuck right now in cyberpunk. I mean, it looks cool. It's I mean, it looks fun. Oh, it's beautiful. If you go into settings and stuff and the graphics  

[00:58:20] Unknown:

side and turn on the ray tracing and all,   just turns into just this beautiful masterpiece. I mean, it's a, it's a great game. I mean, it's hard to believe   that   just   2,   maybe 3 years ago,   it was just a flaming pile of dog crap,   just as glitchy as could be. You'd be running along and all of a sudden you'd fall through the map.   You'd what? Fall through the map? You'd be running   along, and and you would just there'd be places where you just happen to fall out in a hole in the map, and you just   you'd fall through the map. You you'd go to hit something and it would sling you about 5,000 feet up in the air.   You go to try to drive a car or you try to scare, scare somebody. A lot of times,   because the crowds in the city were supposed to all kinda react to you being, you know, just this   chaotic force in in the world.  

And so, like, if you shot at a bad guy, everybody around was supposed to, run, but there was times that it would glitch. And so you'd you'd fire,   and everybody would revert to the default   NPC pose, which is this people standing up straight with their arms out to the side.   So you'd have all these people all of a sudden just standing there being teased, and you're like, what the heck?   You'd have people driving down you'd have NPCs driving motorcycles, except they're standing on there in their in their, in their t pose, their default pose stuff. It was just Yeah. It was it was a horrendous terrible mess. You could only play for, like, 5 to 10 minutes,   and the, and the game would crash.  

Wow.   So yeah, it was, and I mean, they, they got to, they got into a lot of trouble for it.   Right. And they have turned it around and they have made it this amazing game now. And it's a beautiful game. I know just the story itself. I mean, you can all all the the side quests   Yeah.   Are fascinating   because there's not   a good, bad,   good, bad,   decision.   It's, really ambiguous. You might choose something and it'd be okay,   except,   you are always gonna get these little shards   from people,   from people. And they kind of tell put together a a story about that,   about the underworld   of of night city.  

And so you may kill somebody   who is the, who is after somebody else who has done some somebody else wrong. Who's done this other person wrong.   And so   if you key, you may kill 1 person, but that's gonna cause this other guy to this other bad guy to have,   to have his,   to have a good day.   Okay. And then when you get around to taking out that that guy and making his day bad,   you know, depending on what you choose, you may end up causing another, another person to have,   a bad day or, you know, it's a very   ambiguous,   chain of events and it,   it everything's kind of how they got everything to connect together like they do is is phenomenal.  

And,   and, no, just so just so you know Yeah. Yeah.   Yeah. And but I will let you know that,   you've got, romance abilities in here.   Okay.   And   so   if you're running around as a guy,   you'll you'll you'll enjoy the Pan Am in the tank,   scene. Just to let you know on that one.   K.   But if you play as a girl,   you're supposed to have you're supposed to have fun times with, with a girl named Judy and you'll figure out who Judy is down the road.  

[01:02:17] Unknown:

That don't sound like a fun time.  

[01:02:20] Unknown:

I don't know.   It depends on which way you wanna swing, man. But now it's   all in all, no cyber punk is,   is probably my second favorite game right now.  

[01:02:38] Unknown:

Okay.  

[01:02:39] Unknown:

Red dead 2 is still my favorite.   Just that whole story arc   is phenomenal. And yes, I know it starts off real. It starts off cold,  

[01:02:49] Unknown:

but it gets better.   Yeah. I'm I, I mean, I'm, I'm in the warmth. I just, I don't know. I just,   I   I'm actually waiting for the townspeople to cool down because I think they're still pissed off because I, because I went in and accidentally   well,  

[01:03:07] Unknown:

while it killed a prostitute. Well, if you got a bounty on your head, yeah, they're gonna be a little pissed. But if you don't have a bounty on your head, they they nah.   Now if you go off and shoot like the, if you go off and accidentally shoot the,   like the shopkeeper   Right?   And you go back in, he's gonna remember that you shot him.   Oh. And he'll actually even have, like, if you shoot him in the arm, he'll have a bandage on his arm   and stuff.   So   like I said, it, these, the, the thought that went into these games is just phenomenal.   Right. But, yeah, Red Dead,   is still my still my favorite   followed by by,   Cyberpunk.  

And, right now, you know, I'm playing I'm still I'm playing around with, with Borderlands,   3 just   bouncing around in it.  

[01:04:00] Unknown:

That's fun.  

[01:04:01] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. It's it's actually a lot of fun. Funnier than hell. 1 (1h 45m 20s): Yeah. It is.   The only thing that is, is the weapons are kind of set. Some of them. Not well, most Yeah. Yeah. You get some a lot of them that are I've I've got a couple of,   couple of legendaries that have got,   that have got corrosive on them, and they're they're great until I come across a boss and all it seems like all the bosses   are are resistant to corrosive. It's like, right. Damn it.   So,   but now playing that one and  

[01:04:39] Unknown:

I was asking Ron if you fell asleep on us. Sorry. I thought I thought you were done.  

[01:04:45] Unknown:

No. No. I'm here.  

[01:04:47] Unknown:

Okay. Okay. Just checking, dude. Okay.   But,  

[01:04:52] Unknown:

yeah. Go ahead. But try but I'm kinda balanced between that one and I'm got an old,   an old p,   PlayStation game,   near automata.   Never heard of that. Or automata, if   you wanted potato, patata.   And,   Haters.  

[01:05:12] Unknown:

Haters, Todd.  

[01:05:15] Unknown:

Haters, Todd.  

[01:05:16] Unknown:

But it's a but it's a   I don't   I've just kinda started started with it just because I got to a point on on   on Borderlands where I was just like, oh, screw it.   Right. Just kinda kinda threw my hands up in the air and just said, never mind. I don't wanna play this anymore.   Because I made the mistake of going into the heck hole,   and I'm just by myself.   Oh, no.   Yeah. Yeah.   Sat there and I   fight that the fight the   the the main honcho there, and I'd get them all get them worked down about halfway, and then he'd put a shield up and heal and   and all that. And I was just like Down there down there with, with, with all his minions and all like that. Yeah. Yeah. That guy. Oh, yeah, dude. You, yeah. Hey, you gotta sit there and shoot those 3 spheres to blow them up. Yeah. And those damn things are freaking bullet sponges.  



[01:06:15] Unknown:

Yeah, no, no, you gotta shoot them and then shoot all them guys. And then,   and  

[01:06:21] Unknown:

with the man And then hit him.   But but what it is is that's one of those things you actually have to,   you have to actually   it works better when you have multiple people so that you've got, like, 3 people who are   taking care of the,   taking care of the orbs so that you get rid of them, the orbs really fast. And then the 3rd guy or the 4th 3rd or 4th guy just runs around and just blows the heck out of the,   out out of, out of the the main guy.  

[01:06:50] Unknown:

Now now the thing is, though,   do you,   do you refill quick   when you get hit?  

[01:07:02] Unknown:

What do you mean by refill? Like, well, the life or the, or my, Yeah. Yeah. You can tell.   For the shield, is it? It it it well, the shield itself heals,   goes pretty good. I've found one that is   think I've got an 8 or 900,   shield. So it's like a   900 units of shield  

[01:07:25] Unknown:

protection in there. Okay. Okay. Because because the thing is because because   I've beat that guy before. It's it's harder now. It took me like 5 or 6 tries.   Okay. Took me, like, 5 or 6 tries, but when I got   all the minions out and then those orbs and stuff like that,   When I went to working on him, I'd nail him about 3, 4,   about 4 times, and then I'd roll over to another side and then   hit him again.   And I I just kept sticking and moving.   And and and I and I only hit him about 4 or 5 times and then stick and move because this way here, it doesn't drain him too fast. So he's like, oh, I, oh, I need to,  

[01:08:07] Unknown:

shield up.  

[01:08:09] Unknown:

Yeah. And so and so   by, like, the 3rd or 4th round,   you've got him to where you're 4 or 5 and then and then go, like, 6 or 7 or 8 shots.   You can take him all out and you get a whole, a whole bunch of shit.  

[01:08:24] Unknown:

I mean Yeah. I figured you got a bunch, but   Yeah. I was,   just I I I went through,   I don't know, probably 6 cycles of him shielding up and fill and and healing back up. And I'm running around blowing all the all the bad guys to pieces and   and, then taking going through and just   shooting the hell out out of, out of each of the spheres. And then by the time I got out of them all blown up, he's already full health again. I'm like,  

[01:08:53] Unknown:

Yeah.   That's why you hit him, move, hit him, move, hit him, move. And then just   once he gets,   once you get him down past to, you know, about a quarter left and then land to it,   pray to God, you don't run out of bullets.  

[01:09:10] Unknown:

Well, I had never run out of bullets. It's ever seems like everybody   drops plenty of them, but Right. But, yeah, it was just a it was, like I said, after about the   the bajillionth time of of   him refilling and stuff, I was just like, screw it. Screw it. Braves quit.   We're we're done with this bullshit. And so I was like, alright. Well, I've got near automata, so let's let's get him let's download this one and play it. And what it's supposed to be is it's supposed to be a very distant future,   and,   you're a,   an Android of some sort from what I understand, and you've got, and   I like I said, I'm just started. I'm maybe an hour in and,   trying to get past   and and I know why everybody   talks about how this is the the main thing about this, game is it's got save points.  

So you can't just go along and go, okay. Well, I'm gonna save here. Okay. Well, I'm gonna save here. Okay. Well, I'm gonna save here. You can't save just whenever you want.   And the tutorial   deal is an hour long.   Oh, shit. Tutorial. And you've got this big ass boss,   with,   boss fight   that you have to beat.   And I'm struggling beating him,   beating it because apparently all of it it's a it's a it's a robotic,   dredger that has basically become sentient and has gardened something on this, on this,   on this,   not oil reserve, but, this, the this   petroleum plant is what it kinda reminds me of.  

Well, what do you do?  

[01:11:03] Unknown:

No wonder why it started to get into, I mean, shit. You sealing from the government. That ain't gonna be shitting.  

[01:11:10] Unknown:

But,   I'm just waiting for and, the remaining reason why I'm playing that one as hard as I am is just that it's,   that,   playing that one is because I'm still waiting for, Elden Ring to, to finally drop in price enough to where I could go off and buy it. So cause that's the actual game that I'd really like to play.  

[01:11:30] Unknown:

What's that Elden ring you said? Yeah.   Yeah. I never heard of that one. I don't think   it doesn't ring a bell.   I've probably seen it. I just I just didn't Oh, yeah. Pay attention.   But yeah. So, yeah, so far, I mean, that's that's about what I'm doing on there. It's just   I get, yeah, at night, I squirrel so hard that,   you know, it'd be like, I'm gonna go play a game. Oh, wait, look, I've gotta do this. And then I've got, and I mean, it could be something as well. Shit. I've got clothes in the dryer from   now 4 or 5 days ago when I did laundry.  

And it's like, I'm gonna fold my clothes.   No, I ain't.   They're still in the dryer.   I might I might I might try and get them by Sunday, but we'll see.  

[01:12:27] Unknown:

We're gonna have to we're gonna have to make a little change on this. I didn't prepare my phone properly   while I'm doing this because yeah. For so for those of y'all behind the,   behind the scenes,   I do this on a mobile setup. And,   and, basically, I send everything through the phone.   But, I didn't prepare my phone this time, so I was down at 2%. I was like, yeah, I better go ahead.  

[01:12:50] Unknown:

Oh,   yeah. That's insane.  

[01:12:53] Unknown:

So my sound quality is probably going to change dramatically,  

[01:12:58] Unknown:

and that's fine. Well, once it gets up through a phonic, it shouldn't be that bad. Yeah. It should level 8 everything out.   Right.  

[01:13:06] Unknown:

So  

[01:13:08] Unknown:

Right?  

[01:13:09] Unknown:

Ron. So, Ron, what video games you playing?

[01:14:29] Unknown:

I know.   Sure. I do. Like I said, back in junior high, me me and a friend.   50¢. We were on that game for 8 hours and it cost us 50¢.   A quarter a piece.  

[01:14:45] Unknown:

That's a deal right there.  

[01:14:47] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. That was a cheap entertainment right there.

[01:16:08] Unknown:

Make it Well, I got   well, well,   Dave   had   a group down to   Hidden Falls,   I think,   Saturday.   Uh-huh. And he's hit nothing but level fives   the whole   day.  

[01:16:29] Unknown:

Okay. Well, it doesn't doesn't mean you have to go follow them.  

[01:16:33] Unknown:

Well, yeah, you're right.   But the level 5 trails, those are the ones that are the fun.  

[01:16:40] Unknown:

Yeah. But but is isn't the level 5 trails, the easiest one to break your Jeep on?  

[01:16:47] Unknown:

Well, yeah, it is.   It is.  

[01:16:55] Unknown:

Say but but you said you you didn't wanna break your Jeep?  

[01:17:01] Unknown:

Yeah. I don't wanna break the jeep right now because I just can't afford to fix it. Right. Right. I So,   you know, but the kind but just my current life situation right now is just   I don't have very much joy going out and wheeling right now. And   once a couple things change my life, then I'm sure that will be, you know, a joyous   events. But right now, it's like just,   nah. Just got no joy for it.   Dude. But, of course, I don't   have joy for anything.   Of course, I don't have much joy for anything right now, but Well, that's exactly what I'm saying.  

[01:17:45] Unknown:

It's exactly what I'm saying. I know this. So at least getting out and at least doing something.   I mean, because   part of you still enjoys it.   Oh, yeah. You know? So so   like I said, go out,   do the easy trails   and just and just   just ride, man.   Yeah.   Well, a hundred Yeah.  

[01:18:11] Unknown:

Oh, I completely understand you.  

[01:18:14] Unknown:

Yeah. I know, but you'll sit at home while everybody else goes wheels.   Yeah.  

[01:18:21] Unknown:

Yeah. I know. That's kinda how it's been. That's alright.   I'll get over it.  

[01:18:28] Unknown:

I mean, shoot. Why don't you get ahold of Thomas? See if he wants to go.   He'd be game.  

[01:18:34] Unknown:

Oh, yeah. I know. He would be same way with Patrick.  

[01:18:37] Unknown:

Right.   Yeah.   Just, you know, say, hey.   Let's go with it. You know, let's let's just take the easy trails so I don't break my Jeep because I can't afford it. Thomas being a guide. I don't care.  

[01:18:52] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[01:18:53] Unknown:

Thomas. I know. That's why I love Thomas. I mean, cause the dude, he's just like,   well, he's game for just about anything,   you know? In,   you know, whether it's like, like, like, when,   Thomas was with us,   see, was it the first event at K River where we went wheeling up   that creek behind Adam's house and that and that waterfall step?   Remember that? Uh-huh.  

[01:19:25] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[01:19:27] Unknown:

I think   I think you went up   it with your lockers. Matt went around,   and I was riding with Thomas.   I think I think someone else went up. I Patrick. I think Patrick   went up and over it.   And Thomas wanted to try it, and you was ground guiding,   you and your lovely crocs. I was just standing in the water. That was great. I loved it. But,   Thomas rolled up and, tried   to crawl up, but his,   his bumper   was even with the rock, with the face of the rock.  

[01:20:05] Unknown:

He didn't Oh, yeah. That's right. Uh-huh.  

[01:20:07] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't he didn't have enough height to get up.   You know, if he had enough height, yeah, he would've   probably well, I don't know. Thomas ain't locked, is he?  

[01:20:23] Unknown:

No. He's not locked.  

[01:20:24] Unknown:

Okay. I didn't think so.   But, I mean, yeah, Thomas is game, and that's that's why that's why I love Thomas. You know? You know, if he thinks he can do it, he'll do   it. You know?  

[01:20:36] Unknown:

Hell, he took his Jeep up, the last time we went out there.   This was I rode with Patrick,   for the military Jeepers event,   and   he took his   open,   barely over   3   modifications   and took it up west.  

[01:21:04] Unknown:

Really?  

[01:21:06] Unknown:

Oh, yeah. West is not   not for the faint of heart. I'll put it to you like that.   You can tear you can tear some shit up very easily   on west   and east on those two trails.  

[01:21:25] Unknown:

Right.  

[01:21:26] Unknown:

Yep. And   he got his jeep up west.  

[01:21:32] Unknown:

[01:21:48] Unknown:

Without lockers?  

[01:21:50] Unknown:

Yes. Exactly. Without lockers.  

[01:21:53] Unknown:

[01:22:28] Unknown:

It's a You need to look into Ox Lockers.  

[01:22:31] Unknown:

I have looked into Ox Lockers, dude. $1200 a pop. Okay.  

[01:22:35] Unknown:

How much?   God.   It's   Yeah. Damn. How much was it?   1200  

[01:22:42] Unknown:

a pop. 1200 a pop.   Yep. Each half.  

[01:22:47] Unknown:

Yep.   But the good thing about   all soccer   is that they're mechanical   and not electric.  

[01:22:55] Unknown:

I know.   I know. Trust me. I look, I, yeah, I look because they've, they've got electric, they've got air. And I looked at all those,   but yeah. Yep.   But, yeah, they they are not cheap.   Mm-mm.  

[01:23:11] Unknown:

Well, what is cheap when it comes to   modifying a Jeep?   Not a damn thing.   Right.   That's true.   Lift,   shock,   the freaking if you wanna go a long arm,   you know, configuration,   yeah, the freaking price should just keep going up and up and up and up. Right?   We got one guy here.   He put a long car long arm kit   on his JK   and put a 4 inch lift   on it.   And he didn't do it. He had a shop do it for him   for that long arm kit and everything that he got and all the   and he got the upper end stuff,   which is great.   When was when it was all said and done,   80   Breaking up. It is winter.  



[01:24:22] Unknown:

Okay. I was gonna say it must be It was 88.  

[01:24:27] Unknown:

It was $88100  

[01:24:30] Unknown:

Wow.  

[01:24:31] Unknown:

To get his lip put on   and and the cost of the lift.   But he also did a long arm compression.   You know?   That ain't cheap.  

[01:24:43] Unknown:

Well, no. It's not cheap, but dadgum, dude.   I mean $88100  

[01:24:48] Unknown:

he spent on that that lift and getting it put in.  

[01:24:53] Unknown:

Well, I mean I mean, not all lifts cost that.  

[01:24:57] Unknown:

Oh, no.   No. No. But he got   you know, he had to get the brackets fabricated and get them welded on the right place on the frame and all that other stuff. And it's like,   you know, if you have $88100   to do that, knock yourself out.   Right. But, of course, he got,   he got,   what was the name of the components he got?   Yeah. I don't remember the name of the components.   It's the same components that I have on the front of   my Jeep when I bent the,   tie rod and the  

[01:25:44] Unknown:

Yeah. You said it, and I can't think of it. Yeah. Freaking drawing a blank.   Woods or Adams?  

[01:25:53] Unknown:

No. That's the drive shaft.  

[01:25:55] Unknown:

Okay. Okay. Okay.   Now you had told me I know, and I I I'm freaking drawing a blank.  

[01:26:02] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[01:26:03] Unknown:

But either way, you know, it's, it's yeah.   I don't know. I mean,   you know, it's the dude's money.   Yeah. He earned it.  

[01:26:14] Unknown:

Yeah. And trust me, it, he will not bend or break any of these components. He will bust the hind joints.  

[01:26:22] Unknown:

Well,   I think I think I I would I would rather bust the hind joints than   anything else. Hind joints are cheaper.  

[01:26:30] Unknown:

Yeah. Exactly. That's that's the they're they   they   designed   it that the Heim joints will break first.   Right.   Yep.   So but, yeah, they're, yeah, they're the real thick walled   tubing, and   I won't bend I won't bend my tie rod and my drag link   ever again.  

[01:26:56] Unknown:

That's cool.  

[01:26:57] Unknown:

Yeah. But, of course, those two pieces cost me,   just the parts were $1200   for those two pieces.  

[01:27:06] Unknown:

Oh, that's I mean, I mean, when you want   quadriplext.  

[01:27:12] Unknown:

Quadraflex.   Quadraflex?  

[01:27:14] Unknown:

Yeah. Quadraflex.  

[01:27:16] Unknown:

That was   that's the components that the other guy put all the way around his Jeep.   Okay. With the upper and lower control arms, with the long arm   Right.   Kit front and back,   4 inch, 4 and a half inch lift.   Yeah.   Was all Quadratech.  

[01:27:37] Unknown:

Okay.   Okay.  

[01:27:40] Unknown:

Which is, yeah, the very pretty much the top end line   of the parts.   But, yeah, it cost him over. It his total bill came out to be $88100   to get it installed   and the part.   Right.  

[01:27:57] Unknown:

Well, that I mean, that was his choice.   Yep.  

[01:28:03] Unknown:

You know? And I can do just as well with the short arm kit. So I'll just leave the short arm kit on there.   That way I don't have to fabricate any brackets.   Right. Right.  

[01:28:18] Unknown:

Yeah. No. I mean, yeah, some people just go, you know, overboard, but that's what they want.   So Yep.  

[01:28:28] Unknown:

And then you have then you have the actual rock crawlers that are on   1 ton steerable   rear axles.  

[01:28:37] Unknown:

Yeah. Those boys those boys got more money and cents. I mean,   those those rock crawler crawlers, and Brian can testify because Brian got to riding  

[01:28:47] Unknown:

1. Mhmm. Yep.  

[01:28:50] Unknown:

And yeah. I mean yeah. Yeah. Those guys will drop $50,000   and that's just a start.  

[01:28:56] Unknown:

Oh, that's just a start.   You you once you get the whole configuration   done and you got the rear steering and you got the 44 inch tires, you got 1 ton rear steering, all that,   you're close to a $100,000   for a rig. Oh, yeah. Well, absolutely. Yeah.  

[01:29:14] Unknown:

So, Brian, it it it   explain about your   your ride in that in that,   rock crawler.  

[01:29:23] Unknown:

That was that was wild, man.   Just the fact that, I mean, yeah, you get I mean, it's got like a 75 point harness that you you buckle yourself into. You think you take it off to the   to the moon just because   that thing, you know,   it's   one, it's got a big freaking engine on it. You didn't you wouldn't think that it would actually be able to get up as high as it does, but it   it crawled. The reason they call it a rock crawling. That thing that's rock crawler. It crawls and it's   and it'll push it. Well, I mean, that and it uses,   you know, centrifugal force to get itself up. So because I mean, you'll   you'll get, it'll it'll push you back in the seat when it takes off.  



[01:30:11] Unknown:

It's Oh, yeah.  

[01:30:12] Unknown:

And Well, it's it's a trip. And I mean, you don't think you're, you know,   got up to the top and then or almost to the top, and he there's a little area that he was having to kind of pernagle himself in so he could jump up and over.   And,   yeah, once he once he hit it just right and he bumped up and over, I mean, you're   it you you caught some air on on my ass end. It was a it was a trip.   It was Where Exhilarating is a good way to describe it.  

[01:30:42] Unknown:

Yep. Where did you get the chance to ride in the rock crawler at?   Birds.  

[01:30:49] Unknown:

Birds? Uh-huh. Yeah. Remember that purple one that had the 4 wheel steering?  

[01:30:53] Unknown:

Hey, Rhonda.   1st year of our event  

[01:30:57] Unknown:

[01:31:03] Unknown:

[01:31:10] Unknown:

I am vague I vaguely remember them.  

[01:31:16] Unknown:

Yeah. No. I'd I didn't get a chance to go ride in 1. I would have loved to, but I didn't get a chance. Yeah. You were you were busier in 1 arm paper.   Yeah.   That ain't no lie. I was. So but yeah. No. It's one day, I'll I'll,   get to riding a rock crawler.  

[01:31:34] Unknown:

Oh, yeah.  

[01:31:35] Unknown:

So  

[01:31:40] Unknown:

Well, as soon as you get this Jeep paid off, you can buy my trailer.   So at least you have 2 pieces and then the next piece you save up your money,   $100,000   and go buy yourself a rock collar.  

[01:31:53] Unknown:

Oh, yeah.   My Jeep wouldn't pull it, dude.  

[01:31:59] Unknown:

No. Your Jeep wouldn't like that at all. No. It wouldn't.   At at   all.  

[01:32:05] Unknown:

It would And hook and I hook the trailer up, put the rock crawling on there, and that Jeep would go.   Let's walk you. Alright. We're out of here.  

[01:32:18] Unknown:

It wouldn't so much be the starting aspect   as would it be the stopping   aspect.  

[01:32:28] Unknown:

Yeah. Because yeah. No.  

[01:32:30] Unknown:

That's what the other putting the brakes on and then yeah. They're putting the brakes on and getting the trailer pushing you through the intersection.  

[01:32:38] Unknown:

I would need to throw an anchor out just to help slow down. Just get your get your boat anchor out. Right. Right. Mhmm.  

[01:32:46] Unknown:

Without a doubt.  

[01:32:49] Unknown:

So   ah, well, let's go ahead and, well, I guess, we'll start wrapping her on up.  

[01:32:55] Unknown:

Okay.  

[01:32:56] Unknown:

And, and and any any key points of insight, knowledge, or or wisdom,   dude, you'd like to impart upon,   upon the listeners?  

[01:33:10] Unknown:

Yeah. Do not step on Superman's   cape   and don't piss into the wind.  

[01:33:18] Unknown:

Nice.   I like that.  

[01:33:23] Unknown:

Don't pull the mask on a old lone ranger, and don't mess around with Slim.  

[01:33:28] Unknown:

That's right.   That's right. Excellent problem.  

[01:33:37] Unknown:

That was awesome. I liked it.  

[01:33:40] Unknown:

Yeah. But my wisdom for the day is don't step on Superman's cape and don't piss in the wind.  

[01:33:48] Unknown:

Yeah. That's just never a good thing.  

[01:33:50] Unknown:

Yeah. No.   Especially if you try to pee off of a cliff and the wind blows back up, that that always winds up having a bigger mess.   So Gotcha. Anyhow, so, Rich, how about you? What's what big merge of wisdom do you got for for the listeners?  

[01:34:07] Unknown:
