[00:08:12] Bryan Goodwin:
I mowed a portion of my lawn.
[00:08:17] Rich Chelson:
A portion?
[00:08:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[00:08:19] Rich Chelson:
Why only a portion?
[00:08:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Because I haven't mowed my lawn in about two and a half weeks.
[00:08:26] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay.
[00:08:27] Bryan Goodwin:
And it's rain. That's the reason why I hadn't moved my lawn in two and a half weeks.
[00:08:34] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yep. You got a pretty good sized lot? Four lots. Yeah.
[00:08:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Four lots? Yeah. That's what they call that's what what they say. I mean, it's right. If I was to guess, I'd say it's about the same size as anybody else's, but that's normal average, piece of property. Okay. Not huge by any stretch of the imagination. So I don't know if lot is a is a measurement of area like acres are. But
[00:09:08] Duuude-Ron :
No. Not really because there is really no such thing as a standard lot. Yeah. I didn't think so.
[00:09:17] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. No. Yeah. Well, do you know the footage on one side at least, or is it is it like a rectangle or a square? Or
[00:09:27] Bryan Goodwin:
it's pretty much a square.
[00:09:29] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Do you know the footage on, like, two sides? Nope. Nope. I had never measured it out. Oh, okay. Because, I mean, mine mine's a rectangle, and I've got about, almost, like, right at a half an acre on mine.
[00:09:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I'm I'm sure I'm probably in the general vicinity of that. I just know it takes a while to mow, and and, yeah. It's it it gets, it gets thick fast thanks to, the the added,
[00:10:07] Duuude-Ron :
fertilizer. Yeah.
[00:10:12] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. That's why that's why I, bought a zero turn. I'm on my yard in about I'm on my yard in about thirty, forty five minutes. Yep. And and I'm on my lawn in about
[00:10:25] Bryan Goodwin:

And and hope to god, I kill them.
[00:11:31] Rich Chelson:

That's that's when if you know, you always need to have a real small bottle of Tabasco sauce relatively handy. So if she goes to lick it, you know, you just put some on your finger and, you know, go down her tongue. I wonder how that I wonder how that would work. I wonder if she'd look at you and then head butt you. No idea, honestly.
[00:17:30] Bryan Goodwin:
That'd be one of
[00:17:33] Duuude-Ron :

[00:18:23] Rich Chelson:
Like, damn it. I wanna do this. I know. Right? I was like, that's just rude.
[00:18:30] Duuude-Ron :
Then you should've just fucking went goddamn back to bed.
[00:18:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, what's that, what's that one? There's a there's a
[00:18:39] Rich Chelson:
yeah. It's
[00:18:41] Bryan Goodwin:
a oh, it is it's off of, Death Becomes Her. I guess, the musical. They got made a musical into from the movie Death Becomes Her.
[00:18:54] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:18:55] Bryan Goodwin:
And it's, you know, the the have you seen the the movie Death Becomes Her?
[00:19:03] Rich Chelson:
No. I don't think so. Okay.
[00:19:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, anyhow, what it is is it's basically, it's just kind of the a a a commentary on on on the eighties and how they were people were very stuck on themselves. Right. So, so, anyhow, you have Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis, let's see who else is in this. Goldie Hawn. Yeah. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are kind of the two that are duking it out. Bam. They end up dying. And through they they end up making a deal with, with, a witch or something like that to where they don't they they don't die. Okay. And so they're starting to decay and stuff, and they're lose you know, they're they're trying to find ways of keeping them their skin on in place and all that. But at the same time, they can't stand each other.
And so they're, eventually, one gets shot with I forget exactly what happens now. She winds up getting a basketball sized hole in her midsection.
[00:20:27] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh.
[00:20:28] Bryan Goodwin:
And, she's sitting there looking through it, and, she, in the, in the play is kind of the, she kinda looks up, and all of a sudden you hear her go, oh, that was really rude. Or no. Shit. How's it going? Hold up. Hold up. I gotta look at that. Now that I'm talking about it, I've completely lost the song in my head. I'm I'm TikTok.com.
[00:21:01] Rich Chelson:

[00:21:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Well, it's it's the sounds are all all there. So, anyhow, where is my profile? There we go. We had favorites. Well, where where did my sounds go?
[00:21:29] Duuude-Ron :
That was weird. Well, while you're looking for, a sound bite. Hey, Rich. Why did you stay up till two if you're fucking tired?
[00:21:41] Rich Chelson:
Well What was the point? Well, one, I had took my pills late. And two
[00:21:47] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[00:21:49] Rich Chelson:
I was trying to wait until Europe opened up and try and make few contacts, and that didn't work out too well for me last night. And there was there was a few, stations on I could hear, but I couldn't hear them that well because there was that storm coming in, and, I could I could hear the lightning crashes and stuff like that through the radio. So but that's why that's why I was trying to stay up because I, you know, I was hoping Europe would come in and, you know, I could talk to, like, England or, you know, European Russia or something like that. But it did not pan out.
[00:22:35] Duuude-Ron :

And, I mean, it was it was an okay movie at best. You know? Alright. I I I guess. And when I'm like, how much time's left? Oh, shit. Twenty eight minutes left. You know?

It's messing around. Hey. Look who's back. And, yeah. Apparently apparently, the new pope or old pope or running pope is, is is, is got a few extra, abnormal, attachments and stuff is what I've heard. Yeah.
[00:28:09] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I mean I mean, it was a good movie overall, but it was just like I I mean, I did not expect that at the end. You know? But, I mean, it was a good movie, but still, it it's like it's it it just wasn't it lacked pizzazz. Hey, dude. Oh, that was that was a 12¢ word. Yeah. I just it just dropped like a hot rock. Oh, I know, dude. You left, and we figured you said, fuck it. I'm a go watch twist or didn't even say buy or nothing.
[00:28:41] Duuude-Ron :
I didn't even I didn't even realize. I didn't get no nothing. No sage. Just drop like a hot rock. Right. I'm like Oh, yeah. Damn. Yeah. It's early Yeah. I this early in the fucking evening? Great.
[00:28:54] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. I'd heard the ding, and I'm like, oh, shit, dude. You there? And I looked. I'm like, nope. And Brian was like, no, man. Dude just dropped. He he he bolted. Bolted. You know? Yeah. That's why that
[00:29:10] Duuude-Ron :

[00:29:15] Rich Chelson:
Helen Hunt.
[00:29:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's right. Okay.
[00:29:19] Rich Chelson:
Yes. A very beautiful, beautiful woman. Mhmm. And still to this day. And she's, like, what, 60,
[00:29:31] Duuude-Ron :
I think. Something like that. Yeah. 60.
[00:29:38] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. I I I still I still I well, she's 61. 60 one. Yeah. Yep. Yep. She'll be, say this is 25. She'll be 62 in June.
[00:29:55] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[00:29:56] Rich Chelson:
But, yeah, I still would not kick her out of bed for eating crackers.
[00:30:02] Duuude-Ron :
No. You know?
[00:30:05] Rich Chelson:
No. Not at all.
[00:30:07] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-uh.
[00:30:09] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But but, yeah, Ellen Hunt, Platon Twister. Her and Bill Pullman and, oh, few other people. And, I mean, it's just it's an excellent movie, dude. You need to watch it. It is it's cool.
[00:30:24] Duuude-Ron :
And Right. Because I've seen the trailers when the house flies by.
[00:30:30] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You need to watch it because it's and and when the movie came out, it was it was, like, way ahead of its time for CGI.
[00:30:43] Bryan Goodwin:
You know? I came out in '96 because, yeah, I was still in, I was in OSA school at that time.
[00:30:51] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Yeah. I was I was driving trucks, so I didn't see it for a few years. But afterwards, when I watched it, yeah, you know, it, you know, wouldn't I wouldn't say the most up to date on on weather and storm chasing, but, I mean, they did really well with it, to be honest with you. Yeah. I think. And, I mean, hell, I've I've watched it, fuck, three or four times since then. You know? At least three or four times, if not more. Just because just because there's so much Jamie Gertz is in it too. But but, yeah, you dude, you need to watch that movie. That is a really good movie.
You'd like Dusty on there. The barn burner drives a short bus, and it's loaded with it's, loaded with, measuring equipment and shit like this. And and, I mean, he is just he's just off the chain. It's it's funnier than hell. He is funny as crap. Oh, yeah.
[00:32:11] Duuude-Ron :
Got this little yellow bus turned into a meteorology, fucking what?
[00:32:22] Rich Chelson:
Epicenter. Okay. Yeah. I don't know. It's got travel a traveling
[00:32:29] Duuude-Ron :
meteorology center. Yeah. Storm chaser. Yep. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:32:35] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. Yeah. He's got he's got computers and screens and all like this. And that is you just need to watch it, man. You just do. Okay. Because it's it's it will not waste your time.
[00:32:53] Duuude-Ron :
Nope.
[00:32:54] Rich Chelson:
That is not like the last two movies I've watched. It will not waste your time. So, yeah, I'm, yeah, I'm looking for a and you say that's the thing. All the good movies, you have to pay, like, $15 for now.
[00:33:20] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I know. Right. It's a pain free. I ain't paying for it. Fuck that shit.
[00:33:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[00:33:29] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, that reminds me. Let me see if I can get this on. Top Gun Maverick was supposed to be on tonight.
[00:33:46] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay. Yeah. I've seen that movie. It's it's a good movie.
[00:33:51] Duuude-Ron :
I like that movie. But guess not, or it might be on tomorrow night. Top Gun was on last night. Oh, okay. Of course. Had to watch that for the umpteenth billionth time.
[00:34:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, yeah.
[00:34:15] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I I mean, I can I can watch I've watched Top Gun so much when it first came out? Oh my god. I, yeah, I think I watched it, like, four or five times back to back in, like, matter of of one day.
[00:34:34] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:34:35] Rich Chelson:
And and that was when it was on VHS, and and I would I would play it. I would hit rewind. I'd play it again. Hit rewind, play it again. And, yeah. And, and so now it's like, I gotta wait a year or two and and and then I'll and then I'll, watch it again. Yeah.
[00:34:59] Duuude-Ron :
You know, it's remember when it was Blockbuster and they had the little thing on the outside of the cassette hole or, the tape hole that says be kind and rewind?
[00:35:11] Rich Chelson:
Yep. Yep. Right?
[00:35:14] Duuude-Ron :
Picture that particular sticker. When I was over in Bamholder, Germany, they had a real small cassette DVD place where you could, you know, on post and I don't even remember if it costed anything to rent a tape, but that sticker was on the outside container of a DVD. I'm like when I took it back and I showed them that sticker, I'm like, you know what? I do apologize. I did not rewind this DVD. Lady looked at me like I was fucking out there. Yeah. Well, you're the one that fucking put the damn sticker on it. Exactly. Trying to rewind the DVD. Are you fucking kidding me?
[00:36:09] Rich Chelson:
That's funny.
[00:36:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It is. I was just like it wasn't just isolated to that one. Every fucking one of them had a fucking sticker on a DVD that said, be kind and rewind. Like, wow. That's that's somebody at their very fucking
[00:36:38] Bryan Goodwin:
And more likely a boss said said, I don't care what what it is. You need to have be putting those stickers on every single case.
[00:36:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And everybody's looking going,
[00:36:52] Rich Chelson:
why? Alright, idiot. Why?
[00:36:57] Duuude-Ron :
That's just why. That's past the stupid point. That's just why.
[00:37:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep.
[00:37:12] Duuude-Ron :
And answer it. Can't. Not gonna.
[00:37:16] Bryan Goodwin:
Nope.
[00:37:19] Duuude-Ron :
So
[00:37:21] Bryan Goodwin:
but no. So so what's been happening in your world there there, dude?
[00:37:29] Duuude-Ron :
Well, weather's been fun here recently, especially in the truck. You know? And, of course, you got all the four runners, the little cars that just they're people are just getting fucking stupid. I mean, outright, what the fuck are you even thinking trying to cut off a fucking truck? It was so funny. This Jeep was yesterday. Yeah. Coming back from Ennis. This Jeep, I saw it from way back, and I was trying to pass this truck, and here comes this Jeep and just gets right on that truck's ass. And there was no room left for that Jeep to pull over in front of me, which I knew he wanted to do.
Right. I'm like, come on up. Just keep on coming because you're gonna fucking go around me on the other damn side. And what did you do about fifteen seconds later? He passed me on the left hand side. I'm like, good. You should've fucking done that in the first place. You fucking idiot. I'm just wondering because I know, Rich, you have a handicap placard on your plate. Right? So it's department. No. I don't. You don't you don't have a handicap plate?
[00:38:56] Rich Chelson:
Nope. Nope. I did not.
[00:39:01] Duuude-Ron :
Did you have one in Missouri?
[00:39:03] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. We we got a veteran.
[00:39:06] Duuude-Ron :
I I knew you could well, you can have you can have both. I could've swore you had a handicap plate with the disabled veteran, you know, insignia on it.
[00:39:18] Rich Chelson:
No. No. I just I it just says disabled veteran. It doesn't have the handicap or and I don't even have the handicap tag because I'm too prideful.
[00:39:30] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. So some of these people that do have handicap plates or and or handicap placards Mhmm. It amazes me that a lot of those, I'm wondering if it is because they're mentally handicapped.
[00:39:49] Rich Chelson:
Could be.
[00:39:51] Duuude-Ron :
Fuck. Yeah. They're some stupid motherfuckers.
[00:39:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah.
[00:39:55] Rich Chelson:
And and this is what this is what I don't get. Okay? This is what I don't get. People with handicap, not everybody, but about ninety nine percent of them, they drive 500 mile an hour.
[00:40:12] Bryan Goodwin:
I I mean What what are you expecting? 500?
[00:40:16] Duuude-Ron :
It's either 500 or five.
[00:40:19] Rich Chelson:
Right? Nothing in between. It's like, what the fuck, people?
[00:40:25] Duuude-Ron :
I had one, you know, kinda blow past me, get in front of me, and then fucking slow down. I'm like, what was the fucking purpose for that?
[00:40:41] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:40:41] Duuude-Ron :
You're gonna blow past me. Then as soon as you get in front of me, you're gonna slow down. What the fuck? Yeah. Mentally handicap.
[00:40:53] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. And, yeah, I don't get I just shake my head. You know? And it's just it's like, yeah. Okay. Whatever, guys.
[00:41:05] Duuude-Ron :
I one, I wish we could lose the cameras. Two, I wish I could get a train Admiral Spear on the front end of all the steam locomotive and attach that to my fucking truck, and just start moving people the fuck out of the way.
[00:41:30] Rich Chelson:
Well, see, the thing is I always wanted to try and make a make a big old plate that that I could mount up under the front of my truck between the wheels and come up behind a car and roll that thing out and just pick cars up by the by all four wheels, pick them up, lift them up, and and make it to where they couldn't drive off, you know, so I I wouldn't hit it. And then I would just do a hundred mile an hour and fucking push him down the road. And then when I was done, I'd set him back on the ground, and then I would retract that back. And then I'd take, I'll see you later. Bye.
[00:42:10] Duuude-Ron :
But
[00:42:11] Rich Chelson:
I could never figure out how to achieve that status.
[00:42:18] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And that would be relatively hard because there's a lot of hydraulics and all kinds of shit that would get involved. You know? And that would just tear up the looks of a fucking long nose Peterbilt.
[00:42:34] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I could never get the math to work out right.
[00:42:40] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. What would be actually great, though, is if you could get some Claymore mines.
[00:42:51] Rich Chelson:
Oh, that would be cool.
[00:42:55] Duuude-Ron :
That would yeah. That would be excellent. Yeah. There was a thing came up, you know, on my Facebook bleep that, there was a dually someplace down by Houston and mounted in the bed on a fucking on a regular stand for it was a fucking 50 cal. So I get the fuck out of my way. Right. That was pretty cool. I like me personally, I like to get a mark 19 myself. Right. Put it on top of the Jeep. Yeah. So you it's still gonna do pretty good damage, you know, even if you miss.
[00:43:50] Rich Chelson:
Well, yeah. But you don't wanna tear up the road you're fixing to drive on, though.
[00:43:57] Duuude-Ron :
I'm in a Jeep. What's it make a difference to me?
[00:44:02] Rich Chelson:
Well, okay.
[00:44:04] Duuude-Ron :
If I do that, though, I'll just make sure that, you know, I have the tires aired down just a little bit. I'm not gonna go down to 15 pounds on the fucking interstate doing 70 miles an hour at 15 pounds. No. But I could probably drop them down to about 25 and just kinda glide over that, pothole that I created. And I got and you've seen the stinger on the front of my Jeep. You know what? I just put I could just push them the hell off the road, and ain't gonna bother my Jeep one fucking bit. It might dent up the license plate. That's about it.
[00:44:46] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. Yeah. You see, I I ain't got a plate on the front of my Jeep, so I ain't gotta worry about it. I just smack them. I don't care.
[00:45:02] Duuude-Ron :
Well, see now, if I wanted to, I could just because it's hooked on to my the winch rollers. Uh-huh. Yeah. I can just pop that right off and just put it in the, you know, in the passenger seat, get done with what I need to do, and then, you know, put it back on.
[00:45:20] Rich Chelson:
In your life, it would be
[00:45:24] Duuude-Ron :
where you only have one plate. Yeah. And if I did that, it'd be North Carolina, probably.
[00:45:30] Rich Chelson:
No. Either way. Just saying.
[00:45:34] Duuude-Ron :
Somewhere by the fucking beach. Okay. But not too close that, you know, shit starts to rust.
[00:45:47] Rich Chelson:
Well, then you won't be that close to the beach. You know?
[00:45:52] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, I'll probably never be able to afford it either. You never know, dude. I'm telling you. Right. I know. Yeah. Because you're how far away from the beach?
[00:46:03] Rich Chelson:
1,900 feet. As the drone flies.
[00:46:10] Duuude-Ron :
As the drone flies. Yep. When's the last time you've taken your drone out? It's been a while since you've talked about doing anything with your drone.
[00:46:22] Rich Chelson:
It's been a minute. It it has been a minute. I mean, I'm not I'm not I'm not trying to, I don't know. It just I'm still still dealing with the state on trying to get my Jeep legal so I can legally fucking drive it.
[00:46:44] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah.
[00:46:46] Rich Chelson:
And that's yeah. I've been I've been dealing with this since fucking well, April, but, apparently, Mississippi has lost my title, and I'm gonna have to get in touch with Missouri and get a duplicate title so I can take it down to the courthouse. And,
[00:47:05] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Personally down to the courthouse.
[00:47:07] Rich Chelson:
And then, have them fix it. But you see, that's the thing. I'm afraid I'm afraid if I do that, they're gonna find my original title up at the state level and then issue a Mississippi title, and then what the hell do I do? Just freaking destroy the second title?
[00:47:28] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Because the original is always gonna supersede.
[00:47:34] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But but, yeah, but, see, in Missouri, if if they cancel the first title and they issue a duplicate, say so I'm I don't know. I mean, I called him today and talked to him, and lady tried to get me to freaking run around again. And I'm like, nope. And so so I explained in everything to her, and, you know, she did tell me she was gonna have someone look for my title and took my name and phone number. Now I would like to believe they're gonna do that. But
[00:48:11] Duuude-Ron :
But yeah. You know what they yeah. You know what they did as soon as they fucking hung up with you? Next.
[00:48:20] Rich Chelson:
It's very possible.
[00:48:21] Duuude-Ron :
Next in line. Alright. Hopefully, they do. You know, that would be very nice for you to get fucking legal. And Oh, yeah. Here's the only here yeah. And you get fucking and if you get pulled over, oh, it's, yeah, your fault. But not a damn bit of it has been your fault. It's been the fucking the agencies.
[00:48:51] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. It's not it's not my fault At all. But but I'm the one paying for it, though.
[00:48:59] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:49:00] Rich Chelson:
You know?
[00:49:02] Duuude-Ron :
And right now, especially with your time. Right. I have to deal with stupid people.
[00:49:10] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I know. And it's just so I don't know. I'm I'm a wait till Tuesday. If if if I don't hear anything by Tuesday Mhmm. I'm, Yeah. I'm I'm, I'm going to, just contact Missouri and get this process started and get it done because I am sick and tired of driving around on a plate that's now on its second. Yeah. Yeah. On its second month they end out of date. Yeah. You know? Because I I don't I don't like to I don't wanna get a ticket. I haven't had a ticket Yeah. In years.
[00:50:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I I completely understand that. So Yeah. But if you get pulled over and you're explaining to the police officer, it's like, well, any other excuses you got for me? You know? And for you, they're legitimate, you know, for that. And they do have yeah. Again, they always got bad bad apples, and you get that one cop, it's like, well, you know what? It sounds like a rich problem.
[00:50:33] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. And, I mean, you say the the the officer can choose to let me go, and then the next one might write me a ticket. You know? Yeah. Mhmm. You know? Hey. It just it it's it's so far I've been lucky the few times that I've had to drive. I've been really lucky and, great a lot.
[00:50:54] Duuude-Ron :
And, you know Yeah.
[00:50:57] Rich Chelson:
So so, yeah, so far, everything's okay, but I only go, you know, when I have to. And I only do what I have to do when I come back home. And I I don't wanna do that because, you know, I wanna go POTA, maybe, you know, take my drone out, you know, or whatnot and everything, but I don't just because.
[00:51:21] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Oh, I gotcha.
[00:51:24] Rich Chelson:
So, yeah, I don't know. I'm just frustrated.
[00:51:30] Duuude-Ron :
I get you. I get yeah. And here within probably by the time I come and visit you, hopefully, I'll and I'm not trying to be an asshole by any sense of word. I will have the title of my Jeep in my hands.
[00:51:53] Rich Chelson:
Well, I hope so. That would be cool. Yeah. I mean I mean, just a fact because it's paid off. You know?
[00:52:00] Duuude-Ron :
That's the whole thing. Yep.
[00:52:02] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. No. No. That's yeah. Yeah. That would
[00:52:05] Duuude-Ron :
be That's the happy thing.
[00:52:08] Rich Chelson:
Right? Doing the happy dance.
[00:52:13] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And I'll actually be able to verify that on Monday
[00:52:20] Rich Chelson:
Awesome.
[00:52:22] Duuude-Ron :
When the payment does not come out of my account.
[00:52:27] Rich Chelson:
Well, it's a good deal. If it does, I'd be making a phone call.
[00:52:32] Duuude-Ron :
Well and this and the only reason why I knew that it's it was fixing to but I couldn't I didn't know what month. My last payment was about $200 smaller than the usual payment always was. And I knew my last payment was going to be not the full amount payment. So when that hit last month, it's like, yes. This will this should be the last payment. And then, again, I'll verify on Monday because it always came out on third. If it doesn't come out on third, I'm golden. Then it'll probably come out on the fucking fourth because that's the Monday. Wouldn't that be a bitch?
[00:53:26] Rich Chelson:
Well, no. Monday is the fifth, isn't it? Yeah. It is.
[00:53:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. But it's the first work a day. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But even even though it hit on the weekends, it always my payment always came out on the third.
[00:53:44] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay.
[00:53:47] Duuude-Ron :
So we shall see
[00:53:49] Rich Chelson:
That's Saturday.
[00:53:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's Saturday.
[00:53:52] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Okay. Okay. Because, yeah, the fifth is Cinco de Mayo.
[00:53:58] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Woo hoo. Doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
[00:54:03] Rich Chelson:
I don't care. You know? Yeah. I don't worry about it.
[00:54:11] Duuude-Ron :
No. I don't. Because it doesn't affect me either way.
[00:54:16] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:54:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Same here. Looks like well, it looks like the storm has gone a different direction other than over my house. Yay. Yeah. Getting a little bit of blue sky with some clouds, but, you know, it's not the it's not the dark, dark shit.
[00:54:43] Rich Chelson:
Well, that's a good thing.
[00:54:45] Duuude-Ron :
Hell, yeah. I kinda need any fuck anything more to happen to this roof before I get it replaced.
[00:54:57] Rich Chelson:
When are you planning to do that?
[00:55:01] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I can come up with a fucking
[00:55:04] Bryan Goodwin:
$15,000 or whatever it's gonna cost?
[00:55:07] Duuude-Ron :
Whatever the deductible is, which is about $4,000. Oh, okay. Because I really don't wanna fucking have another goddamn payment of anything.
[00:55:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Don't blame you there.
[00:55:25] Duuude-Ron :
Especially having the fucking $12,000 for an air conditioning unit. That was a lot of fun.
[00:55:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[00:55:38] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, well.
[00:55:41] Rich Chelson:
But at least at least you're staying cool and not paying an ass load of money.
[00:55:47] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I did so far, I am not. Mhmm. I think last month's electric was a hundred and hundred and 37. But, again, it has not gotten hot yet. However, in the days that it has gotten warm, it is cool in the house, and I don't have to fucking use window unit.
[00:56:16] Rich Chelson:
See? There you go, dude.
[00:56:18] Duuude-Ron :
As a as a booster.
[00:56:21] Rich Chelson:
See? There you go.
[00:56:23] Duuude-Ron :
So absolutely. And there's a retail place. It's off the Lou Mead out there by Waco. I saw it when I drove by because I took the loop to avoid the accident that they had on 35. And I saw a place that had some rolls of, it looks like insulation. You know? But it is used. But still, you know, if I could get a good size of that rolling, I gotta go up there probably not this weekend because I'm driving.
[00:57:09] Rich Chelson:
Are you there, dude? He just kinda cut off again, didn't he? Yeah. He was talking, and all of a sudden, it just gone. Silence. And it it's still showing he's here, but I don't think it's gonna be for long.
[00:57:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Gone. Daddy gone. It's the love is gone. Gone, baby gone. It's the love is gone.
[00:57:33] Rich Chelson:
So, yeah, I I got a feeling dude's gonna drop off anytime now.
[00:57:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Any moment. Any moment.
[00:57:44] Rich Chelson:
Not yet.
[00:57:48] Bryan Goodwin:
I'm still showing he's on. Yep. I'm still seeing he's on too. There he goes. There he there he goes.
[00:57:55] Rich Chelson:
You know? It's pretty sad. When when dude cuts out, we sit here and, actually, when is he gonna go? When is he gonna go? We we just kinda rub our hands together waiting for him to drop. Go. And and it's and it's always, it's, always a big deal. Oh my gosh. Oh, we are terrible, man. We're just fucking terrible. I don't care who it is. So Oh, shit.
[00:58:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Hey. Did you see the, Yeah. I think you did reply to it. Names on the for, for the the prepping side.
[00:58:40] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You had sent me the the names.
[00:58:45] Bryan Goodwin:
The names? Yeah. Okay. And,
[00:58:48] Rich Chelson:
number one still is still alive and with Ready without fear? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The I mean, I mean, the others were good. And and, I mean, number one and number four were my two favorites.
[00:59:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. That's right. That's right. Yeah. You like to win also.
[00:59:04] Rich Chelson:
With three as a maybe a backup kicker. Right. But, but but then the more I thought about it yeah. Number one was, yeah, number one was, like yeah. I'm I'm, like, vibing with that one. Yeah. It's really hard. So Have you decided on that?
[00:59:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. That's kinda the one I'm I'm really setting on.
[00:59:28] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:59:29] Bryan Goodwin:
The only issue that I kinda run into is since it is kinda I'm wanting to aim for to get prepping to be in that toll prepping, SEO wise, that prepping or prepper, term in it. But at the same time, I'm thinking that's gonna work because I kinda like the, I asked, went ahead and did a like to see what, what Chad GPT, will throw out at you as, just as a just an idea of what to work with. Right. And, with what it threw out and threw, you know, confidence for whatever comes, kind of, prepared, peaceful, ready, use kind of different taglines and stuff. And it came up with one. It was ready for life.
And I kinda like the way that came out, but not just life ready for life, not just emergencies Okay. Would be a good good tagline for that.
[01:00:42] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Hey. You see, the reason reason I I I kinda steered away from prepper or prepping or whatnot, there's there's less of a stigma, I think. And and this is my opinion. Okay? It's it's not based in anything. Just just my weird little pea brain. But, you know, some people think, you know, if you talk about prepping and all like that, they're like, oh, he's one of them crazy ass kooks. Yeah. I might they might or might not listen. You know? So that's why that's why ready without fear, that's it's it it it's still it's still gets you what you want, and it and, you know, people might be like, what's that mean, ready without fear?
So they'll click on it to figure it out.
[01:01:38] Bryan Goodwin:
But, yeah, I don't know. Like, oh, hey. Wait a minute. Okay. So it's not the work. We're not spazzing out about all the
[01:01:45] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And it's and it's you know? And and and I don't know. I mean, like I said, I might I might be just talking out my ass here, but, you know, I just think as you know, because some people, you know, the way they you know, with with the stigma they've heard from the media and everybody else about preppers being you know? And, I mean, shit, you can see videos of, you know, people talking about prepping and they're in nothing but camos and they're old fat guys, you know, with fucking active fifteens. It's like, yeah. Okay. I really don't wanna be associated with that.
[01:02:27] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:02:28] Rich Chelson:
You know? I wanna be I wanna separate myself from that. So that's why I like I was vibing really good with the first one.
[01:02:37] Duuude-Ron :
And I think that's the one that I selected, and I Why? You know? And, you knew you didn't answer me on my on my question.
[01:02:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, did I not? I'm sorry. What question is that? I
[01:02:49] Duuude-Ron :
I fucking don't. Hold on. Damn it. I can't remember shit. I gotta look fucking shit up. Remember? Shit up now.
[01:02:56] Rich Chelson:
You know, you knew I was gonna ask you.
[01:03:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[01:03:01] Rich Chelson:
Shut up. You knew I was gonna ask you what the fucking question was because I I never saw a question.
[01:03:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Let's see. My my response was is I can agree with your point of the abstract comment concept of coaching because of the instant gratification generation. And my question was is,
[01:03:23] Bryan Goodwin:
what will What will your coaching skills. To sell? Yeah. Some skills in general or for general or maybe, specific prepping. Well, actually, what I plan on selling is a combination of different things, kinda altogether. Yeah. There is gonna be a store associated with it, but then if someone is wanting, say, some type, I'm a I'm gonna almost call it consulting, but though it's not consulting because I again, when people are struggling with, well, what type of go bag should I have? Well, I don't know. What do you want in your go bag? Your go bags are so
[01:04:10] Rich Chelson:
personal. Yeah. Yeah. Well You know? Yes. But but you should have some basic resources. Everyone should have the same basic resources
[01:04:19] Bryan Goodwin:
in their go bag. Well And Okay. But, again, to a to a small point, that's true. Yes. They may need to have, you know, maybe a first aid kit, but also, you know, what it not just the very sterile base elements. But, besides, on top of that, what is your definition of a base element versus what my definition of base element is versus what a new person's base element is? I mean, right, we get to the point where we start going, alright. Well, we've gotta really start looking at, weight. You know? All of a sudden, you don't wanna have a 200 pound go bag. You're you're trying to, you know, keep that thing as close to, as close to 10 pounds as you can. Maybe that's, you know, maybe that's your target while somebody else is is aiming for, aiming for an ultralight go bag.
[01:05:19] Rich Chelson:
So saying that's that's where that's where you, you kinda need to, I guess, list out basic things every go bag should have. Right. Because you're gonna get people that don't know shit from Shinola.
[01:05:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, absolutely. Or that's kinda what I mean. Is is,
[01:05:39] Rich Chelson:
you know, to the McDonald's on the corner. You know? Yeah. And so and so that's why you know? And then and then from there, you can talk about adding, you know, different things and, you know, you might wanna change this or change that depending on and then, of course, you you know, where the people live, weather's gonna come into play one way or another.
[01:06:05] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And, I mean, that might be what your go bag is for is, you know, maybe you've got, you're living, here in Oklahoma, and you're tornado alley. So what do you need when the tornado show up? You know? You're gonna have you're gonna wanna have some, you know, have a supply of your, of your of your medications if you're if you need them. You're gonna wanna have, you know, leashes for the animals if you got them. You know? Yeah. You gotta have a spare set of those, have, you know, all the different spare items. And so that's where the personal is. Yeah. Is there the basic stuff? Yeah. You wanna make sure that you have a bag that's got, you you know, like, a first aid kit and a few basic items and how basic you want those items to be.
That's kind of where I'm wanting to do the pay or do the, set up a, different style products. Would you stop it just groaning at me? She'd want me over on the couch. So she's sitting there looking at me going.
[01:07:16] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know who wears the pants in your family.
[01:07:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. The wife.
[01:07:20] Duuude-Ron :
No. The dog. But
[01:07:29] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. No. It just yeah. It just it just, you know, so many different things that but but there's basically some everybody should have.
[01:07:39] Duuude-Ron :
That's very true. But what is the the first thing the very first thing that comes to mind? Doomsday preppers.
[01:07:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. That would that would be because what I'm wanting I'm wanting to have, like, a five
[01:07:55] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:07:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Five level, system set up. So you got your your level one. This is just people who are what is level one prepping? That is, you know, keeping some extra cans in your in your pantry. Keeping you know, having an extra set just in case, you know, you don't have to run to the grocery store, because you heard the storm's coming so that you can get, you can join the rest of the crowd as they go buy, you know, go buy milk, so they make milk sandwiches because they always take run off with the bread and the milk. So they gotta be making milk sandwiches out of the damn thing. Right. Must be? Must be. So Must be.
So we so when you're prepared, you know, alright. Well, what is being prepared, mean for weather? Well, level one preparedness would be okay. For us, Canoe, we actually have run into more problems with in the wintertime. We have an ice storm. We're gonna be out of we're gonna be out of electricity for a week Yeah. On average. Boom. Right. Ice storm we're gonna and we lose electricity, this would be gone a week, sometimes two.
[01:09:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:09:19] Bryan Goodwin:
So what do we need? Well, we need oil lanterns, which well, I've got two of those. We got candles too, but we've got oil based lanterns. Got and also need to have plenty of wood so that we can use the wood stove.
[01:09:35] Duuude-Ron :
Alright.
[01:09:37] Bryan Goodwin:
And then on top of that, I've got, I've got, pots so that we could set up and and sleep in front of the stove. We don't have to worry about being cold in the in the, in the bedroom, keep the water dripping. You know? We know what we what we need to do. Right. So that's a level one. You know? Tornado might be something completely different. Or, you know, if you're in, hurricane areas, hurricane might be you know, you might you're prepared you're preparedness might be that you need to go ahead and buy two cases of whiskey. So you have your make sure you have plenty of a party. You know, it's it is what whatever it is pertaining to that area, you know, for whatever the weather. Level one is just your basics.
How do you get prepared? That's almost mindset wise. All the way up to level five, which is the dude making the fallout bunker, doomsday bunker, thinking that, and, how do we you know, level four might be off grid living. You know, and why, you know, how do you keep from falling into the, oh my gosh. I've got, I've got a four story deep, fallout shelter now. How do you keep from doing that? Because I think what most people do is when they start getting into it, all of a sudden, they realize how much power is in being self reliant.
I get to rely on myself. I don't have to worry about government, and they go overboard. And sometimes the government overreaches quite a bit because the government, you know, will try to, there's been instances of people who have wanted to just, live off the grid and didn't have electric electricity or anything like that. They didn't want it. They didn't care for it. And cities have condemned their house because it just simply didn't have electricity.
[01:11:37] Duuude-Ron :
Right? Yeah. Or they're using rainwater, and they get cited for storing rainwater.
[01:11:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. There's places that where it's illegal to, impede the flow of water.
[01:11:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:11:52] Bryan Goodwin:
Forget what the name of the car wash was, but there was a car wash that had a huge fifth turn up set up underneath it as a means to recycle the water and the rainwater and stuff like that. And, yeah, they got cited for, for, for controlling, state water. The state wants to say they control the water, while at the same time, the feds wanna say they control the water too. Mhmm. Because, I mean, that's what, the, EPA has always used. You dig a hole in your in your backyard and it fills up with water. I mean, we'll help. Do it. What was it? Obama administration. They were working real hard to try to say that ditches were wetlands so they could be controlled by the Environmental Protection Agency.
And there's a lot of lot of irrigation people who, use the ditches. They were, like, going, nuh-uh. No. We ain't playing that game. Yep. There's guys who have gone off and people have gone off and built a pond. Yep. And then right next to it started building their house, and the EPA came along and goes, no. This is a wetland. That's a pond. You can't build your house this close to a pond. And they're going, we bought the land. This is our land. And EPA goes, no. Doesn't matter whether you bought the land or government bought the land. We're saying you can't build your house on your land because there's a pond here.
[01:13:28] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:13:29] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, that's yeah. There's a lot of instances of government overreach in that department, and that's why a lot of people go off and, yeah, they wanna start doing the off the grid stuff so they can essentially just give the middle finger to the government and go, I don't need you. What's the government that pisses the government off because the government has to have you need them.
[01:13:51] Rich Chelson:
This is true.
[01:13:52] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Gotta gotta have that huge fucking, income tax return. Yep. Because they cannot be disciplined enough to save the money each month, put it into a savings account, and let themselves earn the interest versus the government earning the interest.
[01:14:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[01:14:27] Duuude-Ron :
Because you're only gonna get the principal. Yeah. You don't get you don't get the Fuck. The interest.
[01:14:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Interest at all. No. No.
[01:14:37] Duuude-Ron :
But 95% of The United States citizens cannot fucking do that whatsoever, where, like, over in Germany, there is no such thing as a car payment for the most part over in Germany. Now they say each month, but when they go in to buy a car, they trade the car in that they had. Whatever the remaining amount is, they pay it off, so they don't have a car payment. You know, they're making the interest when they save for their car. They're earning the interest on it versus the bank charging you the interest on that loan. Right.
But how many people in United States do you know personally that does that?
[01:15:44] Bryan Goodwin:
Unfortunately, I don't know anybody personally. No. I I mean, I I did the, what is that? The $10.99 thing before. That's I ain't responsible enough. I know I ain't responsible enough because, no. What you need to do is you you need to be setting aside 30 percent of what you're, what you bring in on your, for for taxes. And I didn't do that.
[01:16:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:16:19] Rich Chelson:
Yep. Well, if you don't do that, the best thing to do then is, itemize.
[01:16:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, no. I I did, and, I mean, I still ended up owing. I ended up owing, like, $500 or something like that. Right. But at the same time, if I had actually done what I needed to, I wouldn't have owed. Or what I would have owed, it wouldn't have been a a poke in the ass. Right. You would have gotten a reach around then. Yeah. Yeah. At least had that. I mean, been like, oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. That's kinda at least at least pleasant. So
[01:16:56] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No shit. You know, even if there's a couple of bucks. Yep. You know, I try to I try to break even. So Even though I can't save what I'm breaking even of, But, again, I'm still not letting the government fucking get interest on, you know, a major you know, a large chunk of my money. Right? I think my refund this year was around $800. And as soon as I got it, it was fucking spent.
[01:17:31] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. But you've got $800.
[01:17:34] Duuude-Ron :
That's true. But I'm not one of these people that is wanting to get a $10,000 return. No. Put that money aside in your own fucking bank and save it yourself. But nobody can do that.
[01:17:52] Rich Chelson:
No.
[01:17:53] Duuude-Ron :
Because this is the instant gratification generation. Everybody wants it now. Pay for it tomorrow if they pay for it at all. Right. Oh, that's that?
[01:18:06] Rich Chelson:
That's been life for the last twenty years.
[01:18:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. And no and nobody's learning. The younger generation is not learning any discipline.
[01:18:20] Rich Chelson:
Oh, no. But they won't.
[01:18:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. But they they'll but, again, that's gonna be it's the same thing as what happened. I mean, we're leading up to another great depression. Whether we wanna admit to it or not, we're we are. I mean, we look at, the look at how people lived in, in the, in the nineteen fifteens and nineteen twenties. I mean, the nineteen twenties. Yeah. They did have a, they'd had a, a, a depression in, at the beginning of 1920. And the government actually did what was what they're supposed to. They cut, they cut their budget in half and and pulled, pulled back on on the spending and all and brought them out of the, out of the depression.
Yeah. And But So everybody got used to not having to plan for these types of, those types of of emergencies. And so what happened is the then, the Great Depression happened in in the, you know, in the early thirties. And all of a sudden, everyone had to learn how to, how to handle their, their finances, and they they did. And it became a it became a way of life. And, I mean, that's why the greatest generation used to save things like their, like their their, their tinfoil.
[01:20:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Yep. Very much so. That's why they call ring twenties. Yeah. It was all about instant gratification. Well, shit. We did it in the fucking eighties too. Yeah. And now it's back again. So
[01:20:26] Bryan Goodwin:
so yeah. I mean, we're gonna we're gonna we'll have the, we're gonna have the same hard points, and I think and and people don't like to hear it, but, but those, those tough times are actually, are needed. We're we become better when we have those those those struggles.
[01:20:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Do you think that'll ever do you think that'll happen in our lifetime?
[01:20:56] Bryan Goodwin:
It would be it'd be nice if it did. It would help a lot of people out. A lot of people become a lot stronger, and then we'd burn off all the bullshit of, well, I think I'm a girl today type of crap. Yeah. No. Because all of a sudden, people start becoming really aware of what's truly important because Yeah. That's one reason why we have so many of the weird stupid crap that's going on right now is because there is no strife true strife for the people to to pit against. So they're having to make up their own struggles, and it's like, oh, oh, struggle. Yeah. Yeah. We need to have more, more freedom of expression.
Well, no. Really, you don't. You just need to figure out that okay. If you have them Need to understand. You you're one who's got the equipment that you sit, and the other person sitting next to you has the equipment to where they can stand. May not be fair, but we don't care about fair.
[01:22:03] Duuude-Ron :
Because nobody in life is gonna say life ain't fair.
[01:22:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Nope.
[01:22:09] Duuude-Ron :
Just ain't it never will be. The haves will have, and the have nots will never have. Exactly.
[01:22:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly.
[01:22:24] Duuude-Ron :
Because we want Jeeps, and then we have to buy Jeep parts.
[01:22:31] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And upgrades. Jimmy.
[01:22:34] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. You gotta upgrade it too. Gotta make sure you have enough to upgrade.
[01:22:41] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You better start another four zero one k just for that. Well
[01:22:50] Duuude-Ron :
yeah. You're right. My Jeep is my four zero one k's. Right. Now I'll never get what I paid for, but, you know and I don't plan on selling myself. Somebody else will get my 401K.
[01:23:12] Rich Chelson:
That's why you have a backup 401K.
[01:23:17] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, when I die, somebody's gonna fucking sell the Jeep. I don't know. They may keep it.
[01:23:26] Rich Chelson:
They might. Let them know. Will it to to Brian?
[01:23:30] Bryan Goodwin:
There you go. Oh, boy. That's mine.
[01:23:40] Rich Chelson:
That would be funny. That would be hilarious.
[01:23:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Of course, I would then have to just bronze it and find some way of setting it on top of a mantle so that it was forever memorialized.
[01:23:53] Duuude-Ron :
Why the why the fuck could you do that?
[01:23:59] Bryan Goodwin:
Why the hell would why the hell would you Why the hell do people bronze baby shoes?
[01:24:07] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, that's a good dog gun question.
[01:24:11] Duuude-Ron :
You well, you know what? My mom bronzed mine.
[01:24:14] Bryan Goodwin:
I've got mine up here. I've got my my baby shoe bronze baby shoes up up on the shelf. They're set up as book, bookends.
[01:24:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I have no idea where the hell mine are at. I'm sure they're packed in a tote someplace in my garage. I don't know. If Yeah. I don't even remember seeing them when I when I packed up the estate, to be honest with you. But I didn't do that with my daughters.
[01:24:45] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't even think she had fucking walking shoes. Do it either. We didn't do it to our kids.
[01:24:52] Duuude-Ron :
But I I don't even think we had fucking our kids even had the walking shoes like we had.
[01:24:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, the hard soled?
[01:25:00] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm.
[01:25:01] Bryan Goodwin:
At Yeah. The North Napa. Dollars.
[01:25:04] Duuude-Ron :
I don't remember. That's a that's a relic of the past. Yep. Yep. Pretty much. And going and going back to the Jeep, why the hell would you bronze the Jeep and set it up on your fucking mantle? Go out there and fucking Yeah. Fucking abuse it.
[01:25:26] Bryan Goodwin:
For that very reason, that is why. They have you set there up in heaven going, why ain't he's driving that damn thing.
[01:25:35] Duuude-Ron :
You know what? And and if you wanna take that mindset, fine. I'll just get buried in a motherfucker. How about that?
[01:25:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Nobody gets it. There's nobody in the fucking world. Drive it all over hell and high water. Hey. I drive it. I drive it.
[01:25:56] Duuude-Ron :
I know you would.
[01:25:58] Rich Chelson:
I'd drive the hell out of it. Yeah.
[01:26:03] Duuude-Ron :
And then once you break it, it'll sit because then you're gonna be like, damn. Those fucking parts are expensive.
[01:26:11] Rich Chelson:
Well yeah. Because by that time, the parts will probably be quadruple.
[01:26:17] Duuude-Ron :
I'm sure. That's why you need to hurry the hell up, get whatever the hell you need to get fixed, and get start saving up a little bit and get your damn lift.
[01:26:33] Rich Chelson:
You know you know, the other day when when I was at the VA and and I used the valet and they they was bringing my Jeep up, I I I I had looked down and I saw them turning and and driving my Jeep up to me. And I was just like, you know, you see, I don't know if I can get a lift because, god, my bitch looks sexy as is.
[01:27:00] Duuude-Ron :
Your bitch would look a lot sexier on fucking 30 fives, and you know it.
[01:27:07] Rich Chelson:
Maybe, but I don't know. Maybe. It's possible. It's possible. Very, very possible.
[01:27:19] Duuude-Ron :
No. Yours is yours is yours isn't a Rubicon, is it? No. No? Okay.
[01:27:24] Rich Chelson:
No. Mine is not a Rubicon.
[01:27:29] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Oh, I didn't know if if you had the lockers or not.
[01:27:33] Rich Chelson:
No. I don't have lockers. Okay. So, yeah, that would be that would be an added expense.
[01:27:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And that that that is not a cheap added expense either. If you go air or mechanical
[01:28:00] Rich Chelson:
Right. Which which I would go mechanical.
[01:28:05] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And I can't remember the aux. Yeah. It's called an aux locker. It's cable driven.
[01:28:10] Rich Chelson:
Yep. I know. Yep. I've priced them. Oh, have you? Okay. $1,100 a pop.
[01:28:19] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:28:21] Rich Chelson:
Yep. Oh, yeah. No. I've I've I've priced them. I would love to have a set, but at that price, I gotta save some more pennies.
[01:28:32] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yep. And, of course, you need the springs. You need the shocks. You need the brake line extensions.
[01:28:44] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. All that's about 1,500. So, yeah, we're up to 3,700, almost 4,000.
[01:28:52] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:28:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. I know. Hey. We do a really good job of spending money there, Rich. Right. I
[01:28:59] Rich Chelson:
mean, shit.
[01:29:01] Bryan Goodwin:
With friends like, y'all, I don't need enemies. Hell no, man. We'll make we'll take care of it.
[01:29:07] Duuude-Ron :
And, you know, here and here is the the knife in the back. What's that? So we spent basically $4,000 of your money. Uh-huh. Now will you even be able to fucking get into it?
[01:29:25] Rich Chelson:
You see, that's the whole thing about my Lyft. That's that I mean, now okay, there is a company out here, and we'll probably see them at Jeep in the coast because I saw them at Jeep in the coast last year. Oh my god. They make a a a step. Okay? That that is dual purpose. It's a rock slider and a built in step that's automatic. When you open the doors, it drops another step down. And Yeah. Uh-huh. And and and you step on that and then get in the Jeep and then shut the door and it closes up radically. Right. Yeah. And it's and it's trail rated. It's waterproof. It's it's yeah. But they're, like, $2,600.
[01:30:14] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. The first time you truly hit a fucking obstacle,
[01:30:19] Rich Chelson:
that ain't gonna fucking work. No. No. No. No. These have been trail fucking tested and battle tested, dude. These guys didn't put them out until they they had it perfect. No. It's called Rock Slide Engineering.
[01:30:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay.
[01:30:37] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. No. These things are solid. And,
[01:30:40] Duuude-Ron :
And you know the cheaper aspect of, that same thing?
[01:30:46] Rich Chelson:
What's that?
[01:30:48] Duuude-Ron :
Fucking what's on the saddle stirrup? What do they call those that you put your feet in? Stirrups. Yeah. There you go. Just put a stirrup on a fucking you know? Now, you have to anchor it to your seat. But when you open up your door, you flip the stirrup out, step in the stirrup, get in your Jeep, then tuck it back in the up underneath your seat. Shut your door and go about your merry way. I knew some your same. I I know somebody that has a stirrup as their step up for their Jeep.
[01:31:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[01:31:28] Duuude-Ron :
That's awesome. Ted serious. Yep.
[01:31:35] Rich Chelson:
But no. I I had saw these last year at Jeep in the coast, and, I mean, it was cool as shit. You know, everything's tucked away. There's no wire, and it's it and it and it all works with, stock. You know? It's the the the wiring's all plug and play.
[01:31:53] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And everything. Yeah.
[01:31:55] Rich Chelson:
And, I asked the dude. I said I said, does this thing work? He says, we'll jump in as Gladiator here. It's raised up on it's it's raised up three inches, and it's on 30 sevens. And I opened the door, and, that thing dropped down, and I walked right up into it just like natural. It was natural.
[01:32:20] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You know, I was just somebody that had I know somebody that had those on their, JK, and they fucking hit an obstacle, guess what? They never fucking worked again.
[01:32:32] Rich Chelson:
Really?
[01:32:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yes.
[01:32:35] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:32:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Now you could see the dent Right. In that step. They hit it all. They hit a fucking rock. It was pretty damn hard, but that particular step never worked again.
[01:32:54] Rich Chelson:
See, that's see, this guy was saying I I didn't really look at him because, I mean, it was at way out of my price range. Yeah. You know? But, you know, I'm not sure I'm not sure what kind of warranty they have on it.
[01:33:15] Duuude-Ron :
Well, the difference between the way you wheel and the way I wheel Right. You know, that is you know, that's the determining factor. But you know what? If you just got a a fucking saddle stirrup, be fucking good to go.
[01:33:35] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. That would wanna swing too much. So my body don't swing, dude.
[01:33:42] Bryan Goodwin:
My body don't swing swinging swinging. It groans.
[01:33:49] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I'd I would probably follow my coxes.
[01:33:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Watch your mouth.
[01:34:00] Rich Chelson:
But no. That's, I don't know. I I just it it's
[01:34:06] Duuude-Ron :
I'm still Hold on. We can always get you a rope ladder.
[01:34:14] Rich Chelson:
A rope ladder, I don't know about that either. I mean, right now, I mean, it's I do somewhat alright with with my Jeep the way it is now. Yours because you're lifted, what, two, three inches?
[01:34:36] Duuude-Ron :
Three inches on 30 sevens. Yeah. Three inches on 30 sevens? Yeah. I'm
[01:34:42] Rich Chelson:
I'm probably gonna have to work getting in. And you're Oh, yeah. Getting out, I'll just slide down.
[01:34:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, yeah. Getting out is not the hard part because you can always roll over and just fall the fuck out if you want.
[01:34:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Right. Well
[01:35:00] Duuude-Ron :
yeah. So, yeah, getting in, that's that's a different story. Falling out is easy. Getting getting in yeah. Let gravity do its job. Yeah. Yeah. Gravity, my friend.
[01:35:21] Rich Chelson:
Day two, I've got two two black eyes.
[01:35:28] Duuude-Ron :
And a hugely swollen knee.
[01:35:31] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:35:34] Duuude-Ron :
But I got, you know, I got handles on the a pillar as well.
[01:35:38] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well no. That's good because, yeah, they will definitely get used on the passenger side. I guarantee it.
[01:35:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:35:46] Rich Chelson:
I'm sure they will. I used one of them on the driver's side getting in.
[01:35:52] Duuude-Ron :
Well, see, I'm still, you know, not as vertically challenged, and I can swing my leg up and, you know, just have to give a little oomph getting up into and on the seat. Yeah. Right. You know? And then swing the other leg in, but, you know, I'm still able to do that.
[01:36:14] Rich Chelson:
Well yeah. And you've got, you know, height on me too. So
[01:36:18] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's why I'm saying I'm not as vertically challenged as some people.
[01:36:24] Rich Chelson:
Right. But, yeah, I don't know. We'll see. But, yeah, I don't know. Like I said, the other day when when, they was bringing my Jeep up, I was just like, oh, god dang. She looks sexy. I was just I I was just falling in love with my Jeep all over again.
[01:36:47] Duuude-Ron :
Now do you you haven't done anything with any wheels and tires yet, have you?
[01:36:52] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I've got thirty three twelve fifties on it right now.
[01:36:56] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:36:57] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I got 30 yeah. I've got the stock wheels yet. It's but, the wheels I want are, like, $2.50 a pop.
[01:37:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I think mine ran almost 400. Right. My whole, yeah, my whole setup when I bought rims and tires was $303,400, something like that.
[01:37:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. My my tires alone were 25 by themselves. I got all five.
[01:37:32] Duuude-Ron :
Well, so did I.
[01:37:34] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Yeah. Mine were, yeah, mine were 400 a pop. That's why I didn't mess with wheels.
[01:37:41] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. For 30 threes? Wow. Well, for 30 sevens, mine are running, what, $4.85 each now?
[01:37:51] Rich Chelson:
Right. So so yeah. I mean I mean, I will get wheels eventually, but but just not right at the moment. Just not the moment? No. Yeah. Not right at the moment? I got
[01:38:12] Duuude-Ron :
well, I got a set of five. No. I think I got eight rims, six rims, something like that sitting in the backyard. Really? Just in there. Well, they're factories.
[01:38:27] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[01:38:29] Duuude-Ron :
You know, the stuff that nobody wants.
[01:38:34] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:38:35] Duuude-Ron :
Nobody wants fucking stock rims and tires for a Jeep, but that's okay. I still got them.
[01:38:48] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know what? Make something out of them. You know?
[01:38:59] Bryan Goodwin:
Don't know what. Yeah.
[01:39:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. We could probably make you cut one in half and make you a step stool. Right?
[01:39:09] Rich Chelson:
As long as it has a Jeep logo on it, there you go, dude.
[01:39:14] Duuude-Ron :
Well, see, I don't know if it has the egg on I don't think those rims have the eggs on them. Oh. They're just the the silver alloy stock very basic stock rims.
[01:39:30] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:39:33] Duuude-Ron :
And the only reason why I got them is because I I wanted the tires for the, trailer. Yeah. And the guy says, you either take it all or you take nothing. I was like, fine. I'll take them all then. So but I got tires for the, for the trailers. Yeah. So I'm good there? Yeah. Now I just gotta get it, registered. I don't think it fuck. The registration went out fucking October. No. September of last year.
[01:40:23] Rich Chelson:
You see, that's the thing. Like in Missouri and here in Mississippi, when you, register a trailer, it's lifetime. You do it once. Never had to pay for it again.
[01:40:37] Duuude-Ron :
Really? Wow. Yeah. I think my this trailer is $70 a year for registration.
[01:40:48] Rich Chelson:
Oh my god.
[01:40:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. For any trailer. When I had my car when I had my car hauler Uh-huh. Same same thing. $75 a year. Wow. Yep. Sure is. God makes little green apples. But, yeah, it would be nice it would be nice if Texas went to a per permanent plate.
[01:41:13] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. No. In in, in, Mississippi and and Missouri both, you a registered trailer? It's it's lifetime. Arkansas is the same way.
[01:41:28] Duuude-Ron :
Oh.
[01:41:29] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. That's crazy.
[01:41:33] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, we don't have any, state taxes. So,
[01:41:42] Rich Chelson:
I understand, but come on now. It's a trailer.
[01:41:46] Bryan Goodwin:
You're right. And Yeah. That's $70
[01:41:49] Rich Chelson:
a bucks a year. Well, yeah, this is Texas. Everyone's got three or four trailers.
[01:41:57] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You know what? That's about right. You know, I had two trailers. Yeah. Patrick has two trailers. Nick has three trailers.
[01:42:11] Rich Chelson:
So okay. When you add it up, that's that's a powerful lot of money that that tax would be missing out on.
[01:42:18] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Especially when they don't have a state state tax. Right. You know, they get the revenue from
[01:42:26] Bryan Goodwin:
sales tax. Sales and property.
[01:42:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Sales and property. And my fucking property taxes just went up again. It's so amazing.
[01:42:36] Rich Chelson:
Dude, get your %.
[01:42:38] Duuude-Ron :
I I know. Yes. I know. Make you known. Yeah. I know.
[01:42:44] Rich Chelson:
January of this year, I went down to Sasha's office and said, yo. I'm a %. Showed them everything. They're like, see you later. Bye.
[01:42:55] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:42:56] Rich Chelson:
Do I have to come back? Oh, no. No. Only if something changes. Okay. So yeah. No. I I I ain't gotta pay nothing. I ain't gotta do nothing.
[01:43:08] Duuude-Ron :
I'm good. Yep. Yeah. Texas is the same way. What is, Mississippi's sales tax?
[01:43:15] Rich Chelson:
7%.
[01:43:16] Duuude-Ron :
Seven %. Yeah. Ours ours is eight and three quarter.
[01:43:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. So and that's well, let's see. That's like Arkansas is 10.
[01:43:29] Duuude-Ron :
Do they have a state tax as well? Or Oh, hell no. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Really? Well Shit. Yeah. Our
[01:43:36] Rich Chelson:
Arkansas, they they just want your freaking money.
[01:43:41] Duuude-Ron :
Well, fucking, does the any
[01:43:43] Rich Chelson:
municipality just want your fucking money? Well, yeah. Pretty much. But but Arkansas not only wants your money, but you're gonna pay, 10% sales tax on everything.
[01:43:56] Duuude-Ron :
It don't matter. So they could so they could put it into a fund to fix the roads. And when it comes time for that, the only thing they do is think about it.
[01:44:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, it costs money to think about fixing roads.
[01:44:12] Rich Chelson:
They appoint a blue ribbon commission
[01:44:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly. Study. That cost a lot of freaking money right there.
[01:44:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. We gotta get the we gotta get the study done first. Yep. Yeah. It's the amount of fucking money that The United States spends on stupid shit instead of actually, you know, getting shit done. You know, we we had the interstate at thirty five and 290 that goes into Killeen was down to right at that intersection that comes off to go northbound on 35 and down to one fucking lane for five days. And you know why? Because they were fixing a two foot by two foot hole in the fucking center lane in the interstate that was caused by a a rollover from a, steel scrap truck that rolled over.
Took them five days to fucking fix or patch the fucking two by two foot piece of concrete. Had it down to one lane for five days.
[01:45:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh my gosh. Yeah. That is crazy.
[01:45:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Stupid shit. So on Monday, when I went was going up to Grand Prairie from my the exit or from our plant to Sixth Street, which is less than a mile away, It took me an hour to get this get past that cluster fuck.
[01:46:05] Rich Chelson:
That's crazy.
[01:46:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yes. We're a two by two foot fucking patch. It's like, goddamn. You you look at fucking Japan, and they get a fucking, a sinkhole, and they showed the the thing to where they got a sinkhole in one of the major cities. The fucking sinkhole, everything, the street was back to usable condition in forty eight hours
[01:46:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. If that.
[01:46:42] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And I'm not we're talking about a fucking sinkhole that was two two lanes wide and was, what, twenty twenty, 20 five feet deep?
[01:46:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Some yeah.
[01:46:55] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They had it all filled in everything and finalized and traffic back on it within forty eight hours. Oh, yeah. We can't we can't fucking patch a fucking hole two feet by two feet and takes five fucking days. Nope.
[01:47:11] Rich Chelson:
It's crazy.
[01:47:13] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And the fucking the the highway that they ex it, you know, expanded 35 from Dallas to, San Antonio, the the fucking shit's already falling apart. And it ain't been there for fucking five years yet. And I've got all kinds of goddamn fucking holes in the fucking concrete.
[01:47:38] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:47:40] Duuude-Ron :
You know, they need to fucking go back and figure out what the composite is for the Autobahn over in Germany and figure that the fuck out, and then we wouldn't have to worry about it.
[01:47:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, but then that would you would end up having to, you wouldn't be able to make as much money.
[01:48:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I know. Thank you very much for, you know, that tidbit of information, but that is very true. You know? We gotta That's the very reason that they,
[01:48:13] Bryan Goodwin:
things don't last as long as they used to. I mean, they actually had, light bulbs that would last a hundred years. And they Yep. They got together and said, you know what? We probably don't need to be missing and putting out a hundred year old light, long light bulbs because, you know, that we there's only so many houses we can, we can put these light bulbs in.
[01:48:38] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:48:39] Bryan Goodwin:
And so they, as a group, got together and said, you know what? We're not gonna make the hundred year old light. Boom again. Thank you, dog. That's a just solar plexus. Oh, I thought I thought she might have caught a nut. No. No. No. Just right in my side right in my side. Just
[01:49:02] Duuude-Ron :
well, you're the one that just had to get a great Dane.
[01:49:09] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah.
[01:49:13] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. No. You're right. That's the thing. You know? Anything that lasts or or goes for a long time, they always change it up because, god forbid, they need that money. Oh, yeah. And that's that's just exactly what it is. You know? Yeah. Yeah. It's they just want the money. And so that's why things don't last as long. Like like, back in the day, man, you know, like, your your baking dishes, cooking bowls, all all that stuff, all the glass stuff. You know? Yeah. What's handed? For forty, fifty years.
[01:49:50] Duuude-Ron :
It was handed down.
[01:49:53] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But not now because ship breaks too easy.
[01:49:58] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right. Absolutely. 100%.
[01:50:06] Rich Chelson:
So yeah. It's, yeah, it's, Yeah. It's, yeah, it's a racket, man. It's a racket, I tell
[01:50:16] Duuude-Ron :
you. And who is the largest consumer of goods in the world? We are. United States. Why? Because we just have to have, you know, the latest and greatest. Well Always.
[01:50:36] Rich Chelson:
Everyone throws stuff away instead of fixing it. Because, like, like, back in the day and and you can still find these places because they're still around some of them. There's a few, not many anymore, but there's still a few around. But, like, you know, if an appliance breaks, you go down to the appliance store and a lot of times get parts and fix the stuff. It's it's fairly easy. You know? Dryers, ovens, because, you know, most time on an oven or a dryer, the heating element goes out. That's a five minute job. Literally, a five minute job. You know?
[01:51:16] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh.
[01:51:17] Rich Chelson:
So, yeah, it's it's it's not hard, but no. Everyone throws it away and goes by as a new one. Yep. Right. Yeah. So that's the thing. You know, we used to fix stuff.
[01:51:37] Duuude-Ron :
And Yeah. Or they make it to where the average person can't fix it. Right. Well Even though it's fixable.
[01:51:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Well Yeah. John Deere is famous for that. That's why farmers are fighting for right to, right to repair.
[01:51:57] Rich Chelson:
What do you mean?
[01:51:59] Bryan Goodwin:
John Deere won't, John Deere will not, since everything has got so many damn sensors and stuff on it.
[01:52:08] Rich Chelson:
Uh-huh.
[01:52:09] Bryan Goodwin:
That if you make a if you fix something, they have to update the sensors on the on the, on the the tractor. And so a lot of the farmers actually will can't get, well, they they went off and were starting to use they had a, had a third party, a third party went along came out and created a, basically, a ROM for the computers for the John Deere tractors computers. Okay. And so that it did everything that a, that the John Deere technician could do without having to call in the John Deere technician. Right. Because the John Deere technician would have to come out and do all the work and would charge the charge the farmer, you know, couple thousand dollars because, you know, well, you had to have a specialist come out, plug, plug a computer in and go, yep. They're okay. There's a problem. Made the made the adjustment. Okay. We're good. And so it is I think it's a Russian company that actually went through and made this. And, they, they John Deere was actually going over and suing people for, for it's not copyright infringement, but a basically, a violation of the terms of use.
[01:53:45] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
[01:53:49] Duuude-Ron :
No way. To hear. Well
[01:53:52] Bryan Goodwin:
I'll see if I can find that.
[01:53:56] Rich Chelson:
John Dennis. Well, that's like that's like with big trucks. You used to be able to get a spend $5,000, get a program for a laptop. Right? And, if you had a Detroit engine, you could plug that thing in or a Cat or a Cummins. Plug that thing in and, read everything on that motor and make any changes you want and all like that. And, yeah, I think they stopped that. I'm not sure. I think only dealerships can have it now.
[01:54:26] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, I'm sure. And like my new truck, you can't just buy a fucking little light bulb anymore. It's the whole damn housing. It's 11 it's $1,100 for one headlight on my truck.
[01:54:40] Rich Chelson:
Oh, no way.
[01:54:42] Duuude-Ron :
Yes. Way. Because it's all LED, and it's all in a housing.
[01:54:51] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. You can't take the light out. You can't take the light bulb out of the of the headlight housing. You actually have to spend it's like a thousand dollars for a damn house for a damn Yeah. To change out the headlight.
[01:55:05] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. For my truck, it's $1,100. Yeah. Yep. Fucking ridiculous. And where is it made? And where is it made?
[01:55:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Down there.
[01:55:20] Duuude-Ron :
Probably in China and, you know, and comes through Mexico, so they're not parent paying tariffs. But, you know, I'm not the one setting the prices. Thank goodness I'm not the one paying the prices either. Right?
[01:55:42] Rich Chelson:
Well, yeah. Definitely. But you see, that's the thing. It's like they shouldn't it shouldn't cost that much. I mean I mean, good god. The plastic shouldn't, but does. The plastic is still plastic?
[01:55:57] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It is. You know?
[01:56:00] Rich Chelson:
It's just you you know, there again, that just goes to show it's something that that instead of people standing up and saying, kiss my ass.
[01:56:11] Bryan Goodwin:
Well but, actually, I was just looking at apparently, January of this year, the FTC has sued, Deere and Company for, for their, for their practices of limiting farmers' ability to, repair their equipment. So thank god for for Trump again. So Right.
[01:56:33] Rich Chelson:
Yep. Well, good. You know? Because that's the thing. You know? It's you see, that's that's wrong.
[01:56:41] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly. It is. You're right. It is. Because the owners of the but it's the owners of the company that is, you know, doing it. Oh, yeah. All about the money. That's right. It's all about the money. See, the bad thing about it is is they know who they're selling this shit to. Yeah. You think a farmer can fucking actually afford that damn combine?
[01:57:08] Rich Chelson:
No. Fucking combines are minimum hundred and 50, hundred and 80,000.
[01:57:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Probably million nowadays.
[01:57:15] Duuude-Ron :
It quotes. They'll probably yeah. Now I'll put it to you like this. It's more my fucking house. And you think these motherfuckers, that's just one piece of equipment.
[01:57:29] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah.
[01:57:31] Duuude-Ron :
No. It's yeah, when they had long time ago, when they had Farm Aid, you know, they helped the farmers. Uh-huh. I yeah. I can't it was, John Mellencamp, one of his songs. Yeah. And at the beginning of yeah. And at the end of the video, you know, one of the farmers' kids said, you wanna buy a farm? Because they can't fucking afford it. Right?
[01:58:08] Rich Chelson:
I'm seeing that's where that's where the, agricultural industry has gone mostly to big business, big agribusiness. You know? Yeah.
[01:58:24] Duuude-Ron :
And it's bullshit, but, you know
[01:58:28] Rich Chelson:
Oh, it is bullshit.
[01:58:30] Duuude-Ron :
What can one individual do?
[01:58:33] Rich Chelson:
Well, one one can't do anything. But if if everybody would stand up and say, kiss my ass, shit would change.
[01:58:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But
[01:58:48] Rich Chelson:
But that's again never People don't wanna rock the boat. People are afraid to rock the boat. Rock the boat, baby. Rock the boat to turn the boat over. Sorry. I didn't
[01:58:59] Duuude-Ron :
I didn't even think about that song when I said that. I did. I did even before he started thinking about it. I don't know. I'm
[01:59:08] Rich Chelson:
just doing it because,
[01:59:10] Duuude-Ron :
you know, my singing voice,
[01:59:14] Bryan Goodwin:
scares the fucking tiles off the wall in the shower. Well, but see, I'm used to scare I'm used to scared small children, so I'm just kinda used to everyone go, oh, god. So
[01:59:29] Duuude-Ron :
You can only imagine what I'm thinking about that statement.
[01:59:36] Bryan Goodwin:
You you scaring small children? Oh, I scare small children all the time. It's great.
[01:59:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I'll let your mind roll with that as well of what I'm thinking.
[01:59:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, you're just because you're a dirty old man.
[01:59:49] Duuude-Ron :
No. That has nothing to do with it. Not one that that would never enter my mind because that is just fucking disgusting. That little gusty. Yeah. I would agree. I would love to I think you if you're a pedophile, you don't get registered. You get your shit fucking cut the fuck off. You then you don't have to worry about registering as a pedophile. You ain't gonna fucking have nothing to to fucking do anything with. Right. Fucking just chop that shit the fuck off. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
[02:00:42] Bryan Goodwin:
And, you know That's all I got to say about that.
[02:00:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And and I understand. You know, I can't there's only one person that can judge, and that's God.
[02:00:57] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, you know, okay. On that whole line of thought, no. Actually, we all make judgments.
[02:01:05] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. We all do make judgments. And there's actually nothing wrong with a day. With those judgments.
[02:01:13] Bryan Goodwin:
It the the problem that a lot of people have with judgments is they don't agree with what the judgments were. I can sit there and say you are one of the greatest granddads around, and you'd be okay. But that's a judgment. That's just me judging you and thinking that you're a really good granddad. You're a really good dad. That's just me judging you. Yeah. Now if I said you're a shitty dad and you don't like it, why do you not like it? Because you don't like the fact that I gave you a judgment that you don't agree with or that you actually secretly do agree with, but I got a little too close to the fact, and that's where the that's why it hurt.
[02:02:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. That's you know, I completely understand that whole chain of thoughts right there, very much so. However, what is and, you know, I can't I I don't know, and I will never have a clue, and I'm not even gonna study it, is how many people believe in their God. Well, we call him God. He's also called Allah. You know, different religions called by different names, But there's all there's an end goal of where I want my soul to go to. Right. Okay? So there's only one person that can get me into heaven. Actually, two that can get me into heaven.
Me and God. And that's it. Yeah. So you ain't gonna get me into heaven. Rich ain't gonna get me into heaven or hell. You know? It's all on me. Right. So what kind of person do I want to want to be? You know? Yeah. Do we make judgments? Probably several hundred times a day. You know? Especially when somebody cuts me off. You know? I call them everything, but a white man.
[02:03:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[02:03:34] Duuude-Ron :
You know? So yeah. And so I judged them, judged their driving ability. Did it do anything? Not a fucking thing. No. Because that driver don't don't even remember what my truck looked like. Oh, no. He just had to be in front of me so he wouldn't get slowed down and cost him, what, six seconds of his destination time?
[02:04:10] Bryan Goodwin:
If that.
[02:04:12] Duuude-Ron :
If that. Exactly. But it's a hilarious when I can block them off, and they can't cut in front of me. And they need all that energy to go, damn. I gotta get in front of that truck. Come on now. I gotta get in front of that truck. Gotta get in front of them. Gotta beat them. Gotta beat them. Gotta beat them. Yep. And it didn't fucking happen. I think that's just fucking hilarious. Now do I cut off big trucks when I'm in my Jeep? Yeah. Sometimes I do. You know? But most part, no. Because I know what they're thinking about if I get right past them and I, you know, get in front of them with three tenths of a second in between us, yeah, I know exactly what he's saying because I say it.
Right. So I I very much limit, you know, my distance of when I'm gonna get in front of a truck. Right. Things how that is my profession. And now if I didn't have a governed truck, I didn't have a King Hammer, and I had a a spade in the front of the truck, I'd just be a happy motherfucker. Oh, absolutely. Just get right up on that fucking that car's ass and fucking blow the air horn. And they're just right there in the rearview mirror. Can't see nothing but the fucking spade. Right. That's the funny part. But, of course, they're probably thinking, well, you know what, motherfucker? I'm in front of you, aren't I? Bastards.
Alright. So before we get to and, no, I don't fucking have a tip of the day.
[02:06:23] Rich Chelson:
I'll take a one though. Gonna ask.
[02:06:25] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. I'll I'll take a one. Yeah. What? We should never even made that damn suggestion. Because I ain't the one that fucking come up with the brightest stuff. But, anyway, so when you start, Brian, you're,
[02:06:44] Bryan Goodwin:
as much as tomorrow morning bright and early.
[02:06:49] Duuude-Ron :
So where the fuck are you at right now? You're at that house. Right? Yeah. Where the fuck is your location at that you're gonna be out of?
[02:06:57] Bryan Goodwin:
It's about an hour away from here. It's a town called Sealing.
[02:07:01] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[02:07:03] Bryan Goodwin:
That's the, main base, actually. The, the Gore family pretty much owns the darn town. So but,
[02:07:14] Duuude-Ron :
it's name Al?
[02:07:16] Bryan Goodwin:
I can't remember. No. No. Not Al. Not Al Gore. But, Okay. Good. No. It's He invented the Internet. Done he does he is all about giving back to the community and stuff. So he's, I mean, he he's, the daycare there in in Ceiling is done by the Gore family. I mean, it's it's all about they everything they do, they they try to ensure that ensure that, folks can, they they help the the community in in every way possible.
[02:08:00] Duuude-Ron :
Is a is that a mining town?
[02:08:04] Bryan Goodwin:
No. It's it's just kind of a little just a little, little farming community more than anything. Oh, okay. Oh, okay.
[02:08:13] Duuude-Ron :
But they're the ones that own
[02:08:16] Bryan Goodwin:
this trucking company. Right? Yeah. They've got a trucking company. There's a large, travel center there that,
[02:08:25] Rich Chelson:
that they,
[02:08:29] Bryan Goodwin:
that's that's called Gore, Gore Travel Center.
[02:08:33] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[02:08:34] Bryan Goodwin:
So, I mean, yeah, it's they've got they've got all sorts of good stuff.
[02:08:40] Duuude-Ron :
That's good. Oh, yeah. So well, glad it's only an hour away.
[02:08:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. It's not it's not too far. Yeah. Just far enough that I I wouldn't want to to be bought back and forth from from work back to to the house, but but, just, just close enough that it, doesn't doesn't bother me that I, to to drive at the drive that far home after, after, a long week's work.
[02:09:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, how long are they gonna be are you gonna be at this particular location? It's gonna be a good while?
[02:09:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Pretty much. I mean, there, I mean, there might be chance times that I am, in going to other places, but, but it just really depends on, depends on what's needed.
[02:09:43] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. So I was thinking you're having to go back into the Panhandle Of Texas
[02:09:48] Bryan Goodwin:
area. No. Not not so much.
[02:09:52] Duuude-Ron :
Good.
[02:09:57] Rich Chelson:
So it's just
[02:09:58] Bryan Goodwin:
eight hour drive versus a one hour drive to the house. No. No. It's, it's not it's not that, not that, thankfully.
[02:10:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Good. So then with the podcast, what time do we think we're gonna be starting starting that?
[02:10:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, they'll depending on I mean, I it should be able to keep, keep the running time because they do provide a headset. So we're gonna see how how well my headset sounds while we're while we're talking. And, if it doesn't work, well, then okay. If it doesn't work, we'll, we'll just kinda have to play all that by ear then. I think Okay.
[02:10:51] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Gotcha.
[02:10:53] Bryan Goodwin:
But, I think, I think if push comes to shove, I think we still got enough stuff to you know, we can continue to talk. I may it may end up being where, the nights that I am, Thursday nights that I am out, out and about are maybe, may only be on for short short bits of time.
[02:11:19] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. I didn't know if we're going to, you know, adjust it and, you know, start it, like, about eight, eight thirty, you know, because of your
[02:11:31] Bryan Goodwin:
day and then night schedule. So Yeah. My my time's off they're all starting at eight to 08:00. So eight in the morning to eight at night and then eight at night to eight in the morning.
[02:11:42] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Alright. Well yeah. So we're gonna continue with the norm? I'm thinking so.
[02:11:57] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. We'll keep on pushing until we can't push anymore.
[02:12:02] Rich Chelson:
I, I hadn't heard anything about it. So
[02:12:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Oh, the only thing that we're actually probably need to go ahead and do, and I'll do it right now while I'm thinking about it, is get, the veteran's call, adjusted. Go ahead and send everybody out a new, new link so that it is doesn't have everybody waiting in the in the waiting to be be admitted. Everybody can just hop on when they're, when they're able to.
[02:12:32] Rich Chelson:
Well, can't you just change the setting in in the current room? You know, I thought I could, but no.
[02:12:39] Duuude-Ron :
Really? Yep. Okay. Because
[02:12:43] Bryan Goodwin:
I thought you could. But Yeah. I thought I could too, and I was like, yeah. I'll just change that. No. Not. No love Charlie Brown.
[02:12:56] Rich Chelson:
Okay. I I mean, I was saying it was a matter of a simple, you
[02:13:03] Bryan Goodwin:
know, setting change. Yeah. And typical and all reality, it is. But you can't change the setting after it's set.
[02:13:12] Duuude-Ron :
That's just rude. I know. Is it So so why did they not why the hell then do they so why the hell then do they even call it a setting?
[02:13:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Because you set it and forget it. Well, yeah. You okay. I can. I mean, they ought to just and I I think, technically, it should be called a a Ronco setting.
[02:13:32] Rich Chelson:
Right. I mean yeah. See yeah. They see. That's the thing, man. Zoom should've just just let it be. Let you make your changes like you want when you need them. Right. Don't fucking control it. I mean, shit. Well People pay enough for Zoom. Zoom isn't cheap.
[02:13:57] Bryan Goodwin:
No. It can become quite expensive. I do agree, especially if you are are trying to do, webinars and and things like that. That becomes even more expensive. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You can easily crank, crank the the cost up to, to hundreds a month.
[02:14:32] Duuude-Ron :
It's like, wow. That is not a that is not cool. Well, I'm glad I'm not I'm glad I'm not technically glad that I am not technical savvy. Because if I had to start looking at that and worried about it, it's like, no. I'm fucking done.
[02:14:54] Rich Chelson:
Well, you see that you see, that's why that's why if you ever wanna do a webinar, you just do a Zoom call and have a max of a hundred people and just do multiple Zoom calls.
[02:15:06] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Like, I don't know. Unless you're the,
[02:15:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Democrat party, and then you wanna go on the you wanna try to stuff the, stuff that as high as you can so that you get the, you know, you get to get to brag and say, yeah. We had 4,000 people on our call.
[02:15:26] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Well, fine. Just because you found 4,000 people that were just as stupid as you doesn't mean I wouldn't be going in Doesn't mean it's a consensus.
[02:15:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly.
[02:15:38] Rich Chelson:
I mean, come on now.
[02:15:41] Duuude-Ron :
And most of their placards are for, you know, mental disabilities
[02:15:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[02:15:48] Duuude-Ron :
For their placards. Because they almost seem stupid fucking people. Right. Did you see that did you see the fucking thing? What was it? A week ago last Sunday, two fucking democratic congressmen had a fucking sit in on the steps of the Capitol. It just started as them two, and then just people started coming. And after about twelve hours, they had about 20 people, sitting on the stairs, and then they started singing like the Democrats do. And, I mean, for, fucking some stupid ass motherfucking don't make any sense song was just fucking stupid.
It's like so why? Oh, so they could have their, you know, five minutes of fame on Facebook or TikTok or whatever the fuck they used. Yeah. Like, come on, people.
[02:17:13] Rich Chelson:
Well, let's see. They're still butthurt because they lost the election, and they're probably not gonna win the the next one. And they know it, so they're doing everything they can to, you know, hopefully, people will remember them for in four years.
[02:17:35] Duuude-Ron :
Hope I hope I hope I you know? And wouldn't it just be nice if they fucking all came together for one fucking common goal?
[02:17:45] Rich Chelson:
I know that that is absolutely be a really great thing.
[02:17:53] Duuude-Ron :
You know, when the last time that probably fucking happened?
[02:17:58] Rich Chelson:
In the sixties, fifties. When a Democrat was still was was middle of the road?
[02:18:06] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you're right. In the sixties, maybe. The seventeen sixties.
[02:18:18] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. No. It just yeah. But, I mean, they won't do it. They're gonna keep on this path, and, they're gonna try and keep as many people with them. And you would think, you know, after the election map of last year that, they would realize that, yeah, they're, they lost the battle in the war. Yeah. You know? You probably ought to shift gears.
[02:18:56] Duuude-Ron :
And what are they doing right now? We need to the I word. We need to impeach Insanity? Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. That's them. You're right. Insanity. Now they're they're fucking just up in arms about fucking trying to do another impeachment.
[02:19:16] Rich Chelson:
Oh my god. Yes. They they ain't even got the majority anywhere. So what the hell?
[02:19:26] Duuude-Ron :
Well, they gotta fucking have something to rant and rave about. They can't fucking do their jobs that the fucking American people voted for them to do. It doesn't matter what party.
[02:19:43] Bryan Goodwin:
Do your fucking job that the people voted for for you to do.
[02:19:50] Rich Chelson:
They can't do anything to help the American people. Wow.
[02:19:57] Duuude-Ron :
No? No. Because it's not their personal agenda. They talk a lot to get those votes, but when they get in there, it's all about their personal agenda.
[02:20:13] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. That's exactly what it is.
[02:20:18] Duuude-Ron :
And that's both parties.
[02:20:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[02:20:26] Duuude-Ron :
That's why the next president needs to go in there and be wearing bib overalls and a flannel shirt that the sleeves are cut off.
[02:20:41] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But, sadly, that's not gonna happen.
[02:20:44] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. It's not gonna happen. You're I you're right. But that would be cool.
[02:20:54] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:20:54] Duuude-Ron :
And especially somebody that, like me, that does not do well with politics and get up in front of the camera and say, you know, somebody asks a stupid question. It's like, you know what? I got an answer for that. Shut the fuck up. I've already answered the question. Don't ask it again. You already got an answer. Did you not listen the first fucking time? Shut the fuck up. And that you know, you do that quite a few times and you're consistent. Doesn't matter what media outlet. You know what? If you're gonna ask a stupid question, I'm gonna tell you to shut the fuck up. I don't know.
I don't do well with politics at all. I thought you did rather well there, dude. So you know? I do. You know what? Personally, I thought I did pretty well as well, but, you know, I don't think I would be able to earn a hundred bucks, let alone a hundred million dollars for a campaign. Right. And what's a hundred bucks gonna get you? About ten tenth of a second of airtime for one commercial?
[02:22:26] Rich Chelson:
If they had. I don't know. What what is it what is it for a commercial? What? 2,800,000.0 or something?
[02:22:33] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, it's, more money than I got.
[02:22:36] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For the Super Bowl, right now, this past year, for the Super Bowl for a thirty second commercial was $8,000,000.
[02:22:49] Rich Chelson:
Good god. Yep. That's just messed up.
[02:22:57] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep.
[02:23:00] Duuude-Ron :
Now they got some this past year, they had some good commercials. I will tell you that. That's why I watched the Super Bowl. It's for the commercials, especially the one with the seal with the Mountain Dew commercial. That was a good one. I can't remember the other ones offhand, but, you know, they had some good ones this year.
[02:23:26] Rich Chelson:
They did have some good ones. I can't remember them. It's that that was fucked. That was back in, what, February?
[02:23:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. We've ate and slept since then. Yeah. I know. They did have a lot that, you know, I fucking laughed at.
[02:23:42] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I will Oh, yeah. There was there there was a few commercials that that were really, really good. They were funny and and just they were awesome.
[02:23:53] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Like the Pringles one where all the, mustaches started ripping off of people's faces.
[02:24:00] Rich Chelson:
Don't quite remember that one.
[02:24:07] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. Was a good one. And I don't I can't I can't remember why it did that, but, you know, the the mustaches were just ripping off of people's faces.
[02:24:23] Rich Chelson:
There was a few that were that were really, really good and well done and funny and everything, and I I was impressed. I was like, y'all finally got your head out your asses. Absolutely. So I I was I was glad to see that. You know?
[02:24:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:24:51] Rich Chelson:
Because, you know, previous years, they were just stupid.
[02:24:55] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[02:25:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. Sadly, there's a lot of, lot of times where that was just they're the commercials were just of no good.
[02:25:11] Rich Chelson:
What the hell? What the hell? Oh, yeah. There was, yeah, there was quite a few years they were just shit. Yep. But this year, they there was, I'd say, what, half Half to three quarters that were actually really well done. It's like someone actually used their head and and actually came up with something creative.
[02:25:37] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yep.
[02:25:39] Rich Chelson:
You know, I was like, wow. This is nice.
[02:25:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Creativity is not as dead as we thought it was.
[02:25:53] Rich Chelson:
No. It it was just squashed.
[02:25:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. It was just sorry. But, a lot of the a lot of folks have a have a hard time with, being funny when you can't express yourself.
[02:26:12] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:26:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yes. I think the the best ones were the the Budweiser frogs and the Bud Bull. Right?
[02:26:25] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. The Budweiser frogs, that's that's tops. I mean, that'll be tops forever in my book.
[02:26:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. You know? And then the ones And I can't remember what it was with all the Clydesdales, back in the, what, nineties. I can't remember what the Widesdales were doing, but they had their own football game or their own game going as well with as long with the Super Bowl, didn't they?
[02:26:58] Bryan Goodwin:
I think that was the Puppy Bowl.
[02:27:00] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. The puppy show. They had the yeah. I know they had the puppy bowl. I'm not I'm not sure about the Clydesdales and and having their own bowl. I don't know about that. But, normally normally, when they, when I gotta say Budweiser knows how to put out a good fucking commercial, especially when they use the classic they want to. Yeah. When they want to. I mean, they they can really come up with some damn good shit if they want. And Yep. And, honestly, this year at the Super Bowl, I mean, Budweiser knocked it out of the park with with the one they did, and they're just, you know, trying to rebuild from that Bud Light fiasco.
[02:27:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:27:48] Rich Chelson:
You know? Yeah. I mean, they knew they knew they fucked up, and they they had to, had to eat a lot of crow. Yeah. And and Yeah. They lost them.
[02:28:02] Duuude-Ron :
They lost millions and millions of dollars overnight.
[02:28:08] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Yep. But they knew they knew this year at the Super Bowl, they they had to come hot and heavy with the commercial, and they did. They did not disappoint.
[02:28:23] Duuude-Ron :
Was it with the Clydesdale?
[02:28:25] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Or it was with it was with the young Colt of a Clydesdale.
[02:28:30] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[02:28:31] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. The guy was fixing to, you know, take out the, you know, the older Clydesdales and pull the wagon. And and the little Colt wanted to go, and he's like, no. You can't. And that Colt broke out of the stall and, wound up following and then showed up. I remember that one.
[02:28:56] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Okay. I don't remember that one.
[02:29:01] Rich Chelson:
That one I for some reason, that one I do remember because that was unique. It I mean, it had never been done before, you know, with the Colt of a Clydesdale.
[02:29:15] Duuude-Ron :
Well, they did have a few with the Colt of a Clydesdale with the dog, And those were cool commercials too Yeah. Yeah. With the with the young Colt and the dog, you know, interacting. Don't be a little lion.
[02:29:39] Rich Chelson:
I know. I know. I know. I know. I've probably seen them.
[02:29:44] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. I'm sure you have. But, again, you've eaten and slept since the last time you saw a Budweiser commercial. This is But you know you know but you know what type of vehicle that chick dude, him, her, she, he, whatever the fuck it was, you know, kind of vehicle they owned. Right? No. A a Ford Bronco. Oh, really? Because the people that drink Bud Light owns Ford Broncos.
[02:30:26] Rich Chelson:
Shoot. You just angered all all the Ford owners, all the Ford Bronco owners now.
[02:30:35] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[02:30:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Wait a minute. Sorry. Heartbroken about it. Yeah. We will we will get together an issue of, a formal, apologies at some time down the road. Don't know when. But Yeah.
[02:30:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You, you know, you work on that formulated paper, and, you know, you can read it to the group and we'll be okay. Yeah. I don't think so. No. Yeah. I personally own a Jeep. Rich owns a Jeep.
[02:31:11] Rich Chelson:
Brian owns a Mazda.
[02:31:13] Bryan Goodwin:
I got a I I got a Mazda that's trying to shit the bed.
[02:31:17] Rich Chelson:
But at at least it's not a Bronco. It's not a Bronco.
[02:31:23] Duuude-Ron :
Now the the newer, the bigger ones, those ain't too awfully bad. You know, that actually can accept a three inch lift and 37 inch tires and still look decent. Now are they gonna buy one? No.
[02:31:45] Rich Chelson:
They still scream liberal. Well Oh, yeah. Did I say that out loud?
[02:31:51] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Internal dialogue, external dialogue.
[02:31:55] Rich Chelson:
There you go. I get it mixed up, man.
[02:31:58] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But you know what? I ain't gonna own it because it has an IFS. I ain't fucking wheeling a goddamn vehicle that has independent front suspension. Don't think so.
[02:32:08] Rich Chelson:
Why not?
[02:32:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I I saw one of those the last time I went out at Hidden Falls, and one tire was straight and one tire was turning real hard to the left.
[02:32:23] Rich Chelson:
Well, he fucked up. Oh, yes. He fucked up. I mean, that's I mean, you could do that on a Jeep, dude, with a solid axle. You can do the same thing with the Jeep.
[02:32:35] Duuude-Ron :
You're you're right. So Yeah. You're right. But
[02:32:40] Rich Chelson:
So it's not the IFS part. You know?
[02:32:44] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you're still not gonna be able to fucking articulate very well with an IFS compared to a straight axle.
[02:32:54] Rich Chelson:
Right. But some people think they can. So
[02:33:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And you do if you wanna get And you know what? They take you out in Hidden Falls. You'll see the fucking Land Rover's club go out there, the Discover's club go out there, and it's fucking hilarious to watch these people that have money and have no fucking clue as to what the hell they're doing. And they get centered or what we call turtles on a fucking rock, and it'll take them fucking an hour to try and figure out how to get the fuck off that rock. And we're just all the Jeepers are just, you know, standing at the top of the ledge of this particular incident. And we're you know, we kinda had to stop because he was in the center of the fucking trail, and we're just all watching him going, yeah.
You could do it like this. You could do it like this, but you ain't gonna do it like that because you don't know how to do it like that. So we're just gonna stand here and laugh.
[02:34:07] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, make a sandwich, pour a glass of sweet tea, and get jiggy with it.
[02:34:13] Duuude-Ron :
And do we do? Yeah. We just yeah. Exactly. So if you're gonna be there and and and interrupt the trail, yeah, we'll just all fucking take a lunch and watch you and laugh at you. Because they ain't they ain't gonna ask for fucking help because, you know, they're better than the people that do this every weekend.
[02:34:42] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know We That's We got we got money.
[02:34:46] Duuude-Ron :
We're better. Yeah?
[02:34:49] Rich Chelson:
Let them think that.
[02:34:53] Duuude-Ron :
Right? Yeah. Yeah. Let them think that because it's funny to watch. Oh, yeah. They're
[02:35:03] Rich Chelson:
they're spending their money, not yours.
[02:35:06] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. And, boy, they can tear some fucking shit up. That's for damn sure. No. I could tear some shit up, but at least, you know, I'm going up a fucking, carnage canyon when I tear my shit up, but not on the fucking Trail Road. It's actually a yeah. It's an actual fucking just dirt road. Right.
[02:35:37] Rich Chelson:
You freaking broke your shit on dirt road.
[02:35:43] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That is the you know, that's how cool they are. That's okay. More power to them. They want a Bronco? They can have a Bronco. For those individuals who want a Gladiator, knock yourself out. Buy two. I'm personally never gonna own one. That's okay. Oh, shit. It's getting up at 04:00, and this morning was yeah. It's starting to kick my ass now. It's starting to that that you're feeling it. Yeah. So I was actually able to Then I get in there, and I'm getting all my paperwork done up. And one of our admin lady says, did you get these cylinders?
I'm like, did anybody tell me about these cylinders? Well, I left it out on the clipboard out on the table. I'm like
[02:36:59] Bryan Goodwin:
Nah. Don't tell me anything.
[02:37:01] Duuude-Ron :
That don't tell me a damn thing. Did anybody tell me about these six cylinders? Nope. Let me go see if I can't find them, but, you know, that would have been real nice information as soon as I walked in. You know? Hey. These, are direct ticket from Austin to Abilene. They're going on the truck today. You know? And at that point in time, I didn't have everything up on my truck. It's like it would have been it wouldn't have been a waste of my time at the end until the very end when she tells me. And then I gotta go fucking hunt for them and then start start out, getting my truck reset for those cylinders.
You know, that cost me twenty minutes of time that I could have been on the damn road. Right. But, no. But I got up there nine I rolled in there, what, 09:45 this morning. So that was pretty good.
[02:38:15] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I wouldn't have even gone check for them cylinders. And, like, you didn't tell me then I didn't get them.
[02:38:25] Duuude-Ron :
Well, thankfully, thankfully, yeah, thankfully, they were all on their own pallet. So all I had to do is take an empty pallet off my truck, put that one on there, but it was the fact of you coulda told me when I first got in about these cylinders, but you didn't say shit to me. So but, yes, from here on out, when I get in there in the morning, I will be asking her, is there any changes from last night? So I can do this while you're trying to do my paperwork and my tickets. So yes or no? If no, don't come back here and bug me with it. Watch me.
Gotta call but, of course, my luck is my best my if I get right down the street and, you know, my boss finds out about it, it's like, well, you just need to turn your ass back around and come pick these fucking cylinders up. Yeah. Well yeah. But let's get our shit with other people.
[02:39:57] Rich Chelson:
See, I'd tell him wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up faster. Whether I got paid by the hour or not. Because if I left already, screw that. Means I gotta fight traffic coming back down. Yep.
[02:40:17] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I've been called back three times since I've been driving. And, you know, okay. And this is my boss's philosophy, and I agree with it. It's like, well, I can call you back because you get paid by the hour, and you can go up to fourteen hours a day if need be. So just turn around, come back, pick it up, and then try it again.
[02:40:50] Rich Chelson:
And then one day, you're gonna do that, and you're gonna leave and go back out, and you're gonna wind up in the biggest fucking backup and spend eight fucking hours. And by the time you get up there, you're gonna be out of hours. So yeah. About that. You're not gonna sleep in your bed that night.
[02:41:09] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. I will. You know why? Because my boss will come pick my ass up. And and he will. Really? Yes. We had a a major rollover on 35 Southbound, and I had gotten most of the way through it when my boss called because we had a truck that had to go to the Waco location. So it was in a fenced in area, and he had to go pick up the driver in Waco and deal through all that traffic to bring him back down.
[02:41:56] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[02:41:58] Duuude-Ron :
Then our boss will do I mean, I mean much of a choice.
[02:42:02] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. But, you know, that's the thing. You know? That's where that's where I'd be like, you know, till you prove it to me or I see it be done, I ain't gonna believe it. You know? Yeah. I've been told many times before, oh, yeah. We'll be there to pick you up. We'll be there. Mhmm. Nope.
[02:42:24] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, well,
[02:42:26] Bryan Goodwin:
yeah. That's actually, that's one of the things they were they were talking about over at, over Gore is, when you're when you, if, you're driving in, like, the end of the shift and stuff, and you're driving in and say you're four miles away from, from the hotel and you're down to two, like, two minutes or whatever, better get yourself stopped and shut down. And then what you do is you call and talk to, talk to your supervisor, and what they'll do is they'll get they'll find someone to bring the truck in, and, they'll have someone come, come drag you pick you up in a pickup and, and take you on to, on over to the hotel.
[02:43:16] Rich Chelson:
Really?
[02:43:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Mhmm.
[02:43:18] Rich Chelson:
Wow. Okay.
[02:43:21] Bryan Goodwin:
They said PC is only allowed for when you are actually off duty. So there's there's no, no more, of me cheating going. Yeah. I've got thirty minutes till I till I get over to, like, Grant. I'm just gonna and I've only got ten minutes left. Yeah. Alright. Yep. We're gonna throw it in the PC. Right. Can't do that no more. Well, I mean I mean, yeah, it's always out. That actually was all that's all illegal anyhow. So Well, yeah, it was.
[02:43:59] Rich Chelson:
But, yeah, if something like that happens, I you know? I mean, you know, if they actually do that, that'd be really fucking cool. That that means that'd be a stand up company.
[02:44:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. And Gore is. Everybody I've talked to is like, oh, this is one of the best companies you'll ever find.
[02:44:17] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[02:44:18] Bryan Goodwin:
That's good. And, you know, and It's better than I've got one of the easiest jobs you'll ever come across.
[02:44:25] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. Because you're not touching anything, you know, other than, the
[02:44:29] Bryan Goodwin:
I'm just dropping it. Yep. Just lowering landing gears. Yeah. Fifth wheels.
[02:44:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I was gonna say the only thing you're really getting hands on is pulling the lock on the fifth wheel and the landing gear. Yep. Yeah. Of course, I'd be doing a in-depth, you know, pre trip inspection on that trailer. That's for damn sure.
[02:44:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[02:45:02] Duuude-Ron :
But I'm sure they have more than one empty Oh, yeah. You know, sitting there when you come to get them. Oh, very much so. Yeah. So if that one is mechanically, you know, unsuitable to get driven, then you take another one and go on your merry way. Yeah. They just report then. What do you do? Just report the incident and, you know, they go from there, get it fixed, and they can travel on its merry way.
[02:45:39] Bryan Goodwin:
That's the room. Yeah. So I mean, what they'll do, that like the, they'll you go through and you have your, you'll have your your drop and hooks and and stuff. But, yeah, if you're, like, if you end up, having to, shut down for, for whatever reason, like, for being out of time is the big one. It's like, yeah. You just go ahead and get shut down. Everyone else will get everything taken care of. You'll get, we'll get you to the to the house because they they're they're not gonna they don't want to, have a violation. You violate if you have a violation, you're it's an automatic twenty four hour reset, which means you don't get paid.
[02:46:30] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[02:46:31] Bryan Goodwin:
So an incentive to stop. Yep. And then if it ends up happening again, this is the three day reset with no pay. So but at the same time, they've got some leeway in there. So, you know, if, like, if that the first one happened and about a year and a half later, all of a sudden, you you fuck up again and you end up doing it again, they're it's gonna be treated like the like, in the first time again. They're not gonna oh, oh, you know, they're not gonna hold the, hold the line of, oh, well, this is your second time. You know? It was granted, it was eight and a half years ago, but it was this is your second time. This is three. So
[02:47:13] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You would think, you know, after that long, you know, they would they would reset the clock at some point.
[02:47:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. My big deal is I'm definitely gonna be setting a five hour, timer on my on my phone
[02:47:31] Rich Chelson:
so that,
[02:47:32] Bryan Goodwin:
because they say the biggest thing that catches everybody is that thirty minute break. So about five and a half, six hours in, find a place to just make sure you get get your your thirty minute break in.
[02:47:50] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[02:47:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Because that's where most like I said, most people that's where their most of their violation comes into play.
[02:48:03] Duuude-Ron :
So
[02:48:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. It's looking to be about that time, man. Yep. Yeah. I was thinking the same thing just looking at that. So I think it's about time we go on ahead and start trying to get this old this big bird landed in and for the night so the two truck drivers can go take a nap. So, anyhow, guys, I wanna say thank you very much for all the fun and excitement, and thank y'all for coming by and having a listen and seeing what the world, two grumpy vets and dude are all about. And, this show is not your typical type of show. You're not going to see a a mattress ad. You're not gonna see McDonald's popping up on here. You're not gonna see some type of, seeing us trying to change words around become a little, little more acceptable to, to to the the advertising community because, well, honestly, we don't care in that department.
But, also, we're not a commercial type of show. We're not here doing commercials. We're not doing advertisements because, well, they're they're forms of of censorship. I've used to watch people on YouTube and and stuff like that where they start talking, and all of a sudden, they don't mention porn if there's even if they're a show about porn addiction. They're not about talking about porn. They're they're talking about porn addiction, which is just absolutely asinine, if you ask me. Or you talk about, if you're, talking about suicide awareness. Well, you ain't gonna say suicide. You're gonna say self deletion or or or something to that effect. And it's like, come on. No. If you're gonna talk about suicide, talk about suicide.
Don't be skittish about whether or not the advertisers are going to agree with the fact that that's not a a good word or not. But to be able to do that, you have to be a show that does not work in the same means as what all the other podcasts do. And in doing so, we are a value for value show, which means if we provide if you find that we have provided some type of value to you, we made you laugh laugh, cry, think, groan, or anything in that effect, then say thank you in some form, faster, or another. You can say thank you by providing time. You can help us by laying out our our chapters or setting up, and installing, chapter art. You could help us by designing chapter art. You could help us by designing, episodic art. You could help us in some way there. You can use your time. You can use your talents. Or if you want, you can also use your treasure. That just helps us to be able to pay the bills like hosting and and that type of stuff so that we can we can actually be able to keep this going without having some type of financial burden that that that befalls us, and all of a sudden, the show goes away because, well, it's not that we didn't wanna do it. It's just because we just, we couldn't afford it. Now at the moment, we're we're not really running into that big of a big of a problem. But who says that down the road, all of a sudden, that does become a problem? And so we would definitely need your help, and we'd love to be able to set that aside and have a, and have a little bit of a AV nest egg, if you will, set aside so that we could, keep this, show going for as long as we wanted to keep going.
And so with that, we do offer, means of that you could actually provide your, your treasure, and that is, on any modern podcasting app like True Fans or, or Fountain or Podcaster, you will see a button somewhere on there that says support this show. And when you click that button, it'll take you over to the pod the PayPal page, and there you can actually set up for a a reoccurring a onetime, payment, or you could do a reoccurring if you want, and you could give however much you want. $1, 1 hundred thousand dollars. Doesn't matter. Just however way you'd like to do so. So with that, guys, I wanna say thank y'all again for, for watching.
And if you have any comments, questions, anything along those lines, then please reach on out to me. My name is Brian with a y. You can get me over at CircleCast, that's acirclecast,@Gmail.com. You can get ahold of rich at [email protected]. Chelson is c h e l s o n. And, would love to be able to hear you hear from you, hear any comments, any insights. Love to be able to talk about whatever you have. Even if you do end up, tweaking, Rachel's nose just a little bit there. So but, but anyhow, so we'd love to hear from y'all. Love to hear what y'all what y'all got to got to say. And so, Rich, what do you have as closing shots?
[02:53:30] Rich Chelson:
Oh, just yeah. I wanna say everyone, thank everyone for listening. We're at 2,500 downloads. I just checked it before we started all this, here at the end. So, yeah, we're at 2,500 downloads. That's awesome. And, dude, I love your freaking, picture that you put up.
[02:53:54] Bryan Goodwin:
No one can see it. All that, dude. I was, like, going, holy smokes. It's still it's still sunny.
[02:54:00] Rich Chelson:
Right. But, but, yeah, just just yeah. Just man, this has been awesome. And, you know, I mean I mean, we're still getting downloads, paper, listening, and coming back, and share this out with your friends. You know, tell them about us. You know? Three angry vets that just say what we feel and say what's on our mind and what we think and, you know, you know, you might agree with this and you might not. But either way, just, you know, if you wanna reach out and say, hey. That's fine. Yeah. As Brian said, you know, [email protected] is Brian's email, and mine is [email protected].
Now as as as Brian said, if you call me Rachel, you will find out what I feel and think about it. And I probably won't talk about it on the air. I might, though. It depends. Anyway yeah. Because I'm not a Rachel by no means. Last time I checked, and that was, I think, what, last week, so we're good. But, yeah, no. Thanks for listening, and, keep listening. And, you know, keep coming back. So, dude, what you got with your bald head and white goatee?
[02:55:24] Duuude-Ron :
Hello? I guess there's a bunch of silence. Again, allowing us to, just ramble on without anything and everything. And if that is your interest to listening, and we continue to do it in a absolute professional execution of our skit. That was a big phrase for this time of night. Heck yeah. It was. So, you know, everybody enjoying what we have to do. I think we jumped in, what, freaking 18 different rabbit holes tonight?
[02:56:16] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, roughly that. Yeah.
[02:56:18] Rich Chelson:
I lost count after two.
[02:56:20] Duuude-Ron :
Damn. Okay. So and, join us next week to see how many more rabbit holes we can dig ourselves into and not be able to dig out.
[02:56:37] Bryan Goodwin:
So alright. Well, guys, both Rich, dude, appreciate y'all coming on again. Love being able to talk to y'all. Have a good time and, and see what direction we all, all commits to, to to talking and just learning new things about each other. So, anyhow, guys, we'll see y'all, next week. Alright? So Sounds good. I'm Brian. Thank you. We'll see y'all next week. Till then. Bye. Peace.
[02:57:10] Duuude-Ron :
Peace out.
[02:57:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Alright, guys. Schedule then. Alright. Be safe, guys. Yep. Alright.
[02:57:17] Rich Chelson:
Bye.
