Bryan Goodwin:
Hey man, hello, and welcome to Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude. This is a show that each week allows for three friends to get together and live life intentionally. We do this by throwing a little social commentary with our own weird sense of humor and our thoughts together to show folks that living. Music. Having weekly conversations is a good way to help each other out, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude. Dude, we're all in here in just like two seconds of each other. Well, you know I'm always going to be last because I can't host.
Well, dude, actually, you can, if you jumped on first, you would be the first host. And then it would switch when Bryan would get on. Yeah, just automatically just jump over to me, so. No, I'll be last. I'm good. I don't need to talk with any goddamn buttons. You guys are the ones that... Push the buttons. Push the buttons. You know you don't want to push the buttons. Come on, dude. It's a box. Just yours. So. So, you've got four legs running around you yet? No, tomorrow, man. Oh, tomorrow. Dang it, that's it today. Hey, Bryan. Question. Answer. You sound muffled.
Yeah. Driving home right now, so I've got the damn headset on. Oh, okay. Okay. So. I was just making sure that I knew what it was before I got all discombobulated. Right. Let's make sure I can talk directly into the mic. Oh, no, I can hear you. I can hear you just fine. It sounds like shit. Yeah, it does. I thought the conversation was over when you said question answer. I thought we were fucking done. No, the problem is, is he doesn't, he doesn't have the headset on. He's being muffled by a fucking rag with chloroform. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, I got a chick with big boobies Who's trying to kidnap me, In a daycap It's a bad thing I mean, that's why your old wife won't like it But you know, I'm war for him I'm knocked out, what can I do?
Well, you know I might not like it, but you know Then again, you just might Who knows, So, what's up with y'all since y'all are like on the ball tonight? Oh, not much. Just racing the clock. I've got, let's see here, I don't even know how much time I've actually got left. Yeah, I've got an hour and a half, and I think I'll have about 15 minutes left by the time I get to the yard. So, yeah. So, what is, I know that you're on the oil field DOT laws, but what is that for hours? Is it a 14 and 10? Yeah, it's all basically the same as normal over the road, normal DOT rules. The only two big differences are, one, 24-hour reset. I don't have to do a day and a half.
I just have to do a full 24 hours, and the whole thing resets, the cycle and all. Oh, okay. The weather is way, way cool, and I wish they would kind of set up and stick this out to all the other places. You have an extra line for waiting. And what that does is, if you are on an oil-filled location, that's the very distinct portion of it. You have to be on location doing oil-filled shit. You can get a waiting, and it stops your clock cold. So I could stop and sit there for 15 hours and my clock would not tick down anymore. Actually, if I sat there for 15 hours, I would go ahead and I'd be getting my 10-hour reset automatically.
Well, and you'd probably be getting your pink slip too. No, no. There's a lot of times before I have sat on location for 10 hours. Really? Yeah. Yeah. wire line fucks up, they dropped their gun down the well, and so you're sitting there until they get cold tubing out there to fish out the gun. Yeah, we're sitting there waiting until they get it fished out and everything hooked back up and right out of go again. Oh, okay. So yeah, there's been a few times I've had to sit on location for 10 hours. As a matter of fact, the last time I got to use it, I was, uh. Had the, had the crawl down ship that we were doing.
And by the time I got done, I had only used four hours. Oh, okay. So out of 12 hours, I used up four hours of DOT time. I still had, you know, like 30 hours left by the end of my six days. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. So it was, it's cool, but like I said, you have to be on location. Oh, okay. You're in direct violation of DOT rules. If you are sitting on the side of the road and you're waiting for a tow truck to show up, you just got to let your time run. Yeah, and see, with the new system that we had, on our old ELD system, we had a provision that, with being a 14 and 10 day with the 150 mile error rule, if you were broke down and you were fixing to run out of time, it gave you basically two hours to get back right to the home plant yeah i don't know if they've still actually got that rule specifically i know that there is the there is the.
Weather rule that uh oh yeah okay uh-huh yeah if you get caught in like you know icing uh Icing conditions or snowstorm or something like that, you've got an hour over your drive time. I think it's just an hour. It might be two hours. But you've got a little bit of over your drive time to be able to get to a safe place to stop. Yeah, okay. But you have to annotate it on your logs. Yeah, see, ours is... Yeah, I got you. But see, I don't know if our new ELD system has that feature. You use SAMSERA, don't you? Do what? You use SAMSERA as your e-log, right?
I have no freaking clue. I'd have to get back with you on that one. Unless the rules have changed, it should stay the same. Yeah, but we had a button on the old ELD that you could press to get that two hours for your log. Oh. Yeah. But the new computer or the ELD that we have, I don't know if that has that feature. I haven't looked into it. Do you have a tablet that's connected into your truck, or do you just use an app on your phone? No, it's the tablet that's in the truck. Oh, okay. It might still be Sam Serra, but I'm... So a couple, three, I mean, there's several different DLD logs.
So, yeah, unfortunately, I could not answer that question of what is the operating system that we use. Right. I just don't know. I log in, make sure that the damn thing logs me in. It took me the other day, because it's hooked onto the box basically for the internet, and it took me a half an hour before that thing finally identified that I'm trying to use the tablet. Yeah, our plan is a dead zone for that ELD system. It must be on T-Mobile, huh? Probably. I couldn't pass that one up, dude. Sorry. You what? I didn't hear it. I said it must be using T-Mobile if it's in a dead zone. Yeah, for the cell service.
That wouldn't surprise me. Wouldn't surprise me a damn bit. When it rains here, our computers at work slow down to a freaking turtle going in reverse that's crazy yeah that tells me that they don't have their lines. Sealed very well i don't know that's 15 levels above my experience i can hook the cable up to my tv that's pretty good one that's pretty easy one we, Yeah, but you don't have T-Mobile, so you TV. Or you've got a different service provider, so you TV. Yeah, I got Spectrum. You're right. So I take the cable that comes out of the wall. I hook that up. Hook it up to the box. Hook the box to the TV. I'm good.
I don't have to press any buttons. Nothing. Dude, I swear you're so scared of the buttons, man. What's up? You can't be scared of the buttons, dude. Yeah, you're never going to get a good girlfriend if you don't push the right button. Right? Yeah, I understand that. Maybe I'll win the lottery next week and, you know, don't have to worry about that shit anymore. Go find me a man cave. Go find me a man cave and, you know, I'd be happy. And you don't push them. You mash them. Do what? You mash the buttons. You don't push them. Oh, man. Oh, okay. You smash them. You have to mash them. Yeah. Okay. Well, it depends on which button. You push the wrong button. You mash the wrong button.
Your girlfriend's going to get a little pissed off at you. Well, you know, that's just. Some buttons need to be stroked. Oh, shoot. Yeah. win the lottery go buy me a stilt house in florida on the beach you and them still houses, lottery for them bitches especially down there in florida you're gonna pay for it down there, oh no i i ain't gonna i ain't gonna buy one i'm gonna build one you better win the lottery then you're right i you're right because you just go by yourself full phone of telephone, and then just go get a tiny, you know, like one of them pre-made outpies just floating down in the middle of the ocean and just.
Set the telephone poles, park your house on top of them, and you're good. And all you have to do is build the steps. True. I definitely wouldn't have any salesmen coming to my door, now would I? No. Actually, you could even do better than that. Get yourself some really long metal poles and make a platform that is just a bunch of just got little rings on the side and have the bottom of the platform all styrofoam. Set your house on top of that and as the tide and the waves go up and down you go up and down so there you go that's even better, yeah just hope you don't get a really big wave because then you might just float away yeah that's possible.
Clear the rings yeah so what's one of those houses down there in Mississippi going for about 600,000 plus yeah yeah Yeah, something like that. And then when we traveled down to where basically the road ended, I can't remember where that was, to the parking lot where the beach was at. Oh, where the steps and everything? Yeah, that's Beach Boulevard. No, this was the one that had all the stilt houses. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, okay. You said that it was Beach Boulevard? Yeah, here in Pasco. Here in Pasco, it's called B-Town, yeah. Oh, okay. So, B-Town, yeah, because a couple of those had freaking, you know, elevated swimming pools.
Yeah. Yeah. Much time i got an hour 16 see that's the thing though i don't know why you would want a swimming pool when you got the freaking gulf right there i mean makes no sense you're gonna spend all this money every month maintaining that pool and you got a big old pool right outside your front door yeah but you've got fish that have sex in it out there so you don't want to be in that water. Really? I mean, have you ever seen a shark take a dump around one of those cages before? Have you? Actually, yeah. I haven't been in a cage, but I've seen videos of sharks that go swimming by it. They let one rip.
It's the biggest green, as nastiest looking frog you ever see produced. Okay. And then it floats away. Floats around, so yeah, it kind of gets dissipated, so yeah. And floats away. So you're swimming in fish poo. Okay, what are you doing in a river? Same thing. Oh, that ain't shark poo. It don't matter. I don't care if it's a shark or bluegill. I mean, I'll still swim. I don't give a shit. Yeah, but still, a river doesn't have fish bigger than you are. You want to bet? Well, I ain't going down that deep for a channel cat to run that chance. I was going to say, some of them mud cats and them blue cats and all like that, and them freaking channels, motherfuckers got eyeballs as big as Volkswagen headlights. Yeah.
So, you know, I mean, I understand what you're saying, but still, you know, it's. I have no problem with this woman in motion. But apparently the people who have a stilted swan and pull. Yeah, they have a phobia, apparently. I want to be next to the water, but not in it. Yeah, it's one of those that just things that make you go, hmm. I'm going to have a swimming pool on the deck of a stilted house. All I have to do is go down the stairs and several steps in the ocean. It's one of those things that boggles the mind. Well, and I would be my wife has a friend. She loves everything about the water, but she won't get in it.
Except for a bath. Well, yeah, except for a bath, but she won't. When it goes to like going to, she has a, she loves being on the, on the lake. She'll go to the lake. She'll be on the boat. But as long as the boat, you know, if the boat is going to go skiing around, she won't be on the boat because there's a chance she's going to be, she's going to get wet. She will not go in the water. She will not get wet. Yeah. A river, lake, ocean, anything like that. She just wants to be seen around the water. She doesn't want to be anywhere close to the water. She doesn't want to be touched by the water. Why? Yeah.
Well, according to, and I've asked her that, because there was one time where we were trying to have her come down with us to New Brunsville when we took our New Brunsville trip. And she was like, no, no, I'm not going into the river. I wouldn't, I'm not going to do that. And I was like, why would you want to go to the river, but not get in and go to it? And she was like, cause I have curly hair. That's her whole thing. She got curly hair. And so it'd be a pain in the ass for her to have to brush her hair out. That's the excuses she gets to pluck her hair out. No, to calm. C O M E.
Oh, okay. Okay. So, yeah, I gotcha. Okay. Wow. Yeah. It's just like, okay. Yeah. But you have to do that every time you go and wash your hair. So, you know, the difference is what? It's called conditioner. Yeah. That's the only thing I can make. I hope they make a product for that. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Some people. I mean, I got hangups. Everybody's got hangups, but dad gone. Don't hang up just to defy Annie and all logic. Right. That is no lie. That's one of those where you slap your forehead, you know, kind of like in the movie, Naked Gun. Naked Gun, yeah.
Right, where you slap yourself on the forehead, and then right after that, you slap that person on the back of the head. Right. Right. Mike, are you fucking serious? Are you serious? It was a heart attack. As serious as a coronary. Nowhere near as fun. I don't know. I've never experienced one, so maybe if I ever do, I'll let you know. Oh, you did? No, I've not ever had one, no. Oh, okay. It took me to, say, what, about 37, 38 for me to actually get my first set of stitches. Oh, my God. Did you live in a bubble? No, no, no. That was you. You had the bubble. You had the protected life.
No, I just never got that. I mean, I've cut myself pretty good several times. I've got plenty of scars. It's just, that's the first time I'd had a deep enough rash. And it was because one of our dogs that we had, he got his leg caught. And caught up and I was trying to help him get loose and when I did, I pulled on the leg and hurt him and just out of instinct he clamped onto my leg and so he had a big old barrel whip in my leg and it was an interesting look and I was like going, yeah! I think I started my stitches at age five and just continue I can't tell you how many times I've been stitched Well my son and daughter Both have got Well they didn't get, Actual stitches per se They got the They got the glue, Stitches Yeah they didn't have that back in the 70s, But yeah they both have got Their eyebrow, They've got scars I think on the same eyebrow too Now that I'm thinking of it One was because, uh, my son, my son is, uh, God damn how old is he?
About three, maybe four. Um, well, back in 2000, because Alexis was, was a, uh, was a baby. It just, just, you know, fairly newborn, maybe, maybe up to, well, not quite a year. It may be close to a year. Actually. Yeah. It'd been about a year. So she was out of year, maybe just a little under. And we went to Scarborough Fair there in Waxahachie. And while there, we got an ox horn, you know, horn. So it was made out of an ox horn that you're able to blow into. And you can, you know, make, you know, make noise. But it was made out of an actual ox horn or a bull horn.
And Jaden and Alexis were fighting. And she went off and yeeted that damn thing at him and caught him right on the eye. And split it open. So we had to take him to the vet. Took him to the vet. He was a wild kid. Take him to the emergency room and get some stitches. Get some stitches and so they put him, to cut shut and then. Texas was about 11 or 12, whatever reason she would like to sleep on the couch, couldn't get her to sleep in the bedroom. And then one night, uh, she rolled off the couch and banged her head against the, uh, the glass coffee table and split her eyebrow.
So that one night, there we go. They threw her eyebrows shut. Yeah. I started my days when they still use fishing line as a, for stitches are pretty much the fishing line. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. It was like 72 years. I had my first set at five years old and then just continued from there. Kept getting them. Yep. That's all right. It's one of those. I avoid pain. I try to avoid pain as much as possible. So, yeah. Oh, so do I, because I'm allergic to it. Trust me. I avoid. Well, apparently not. If you kept getting stitches, I'd look at it and go, you know what? That looks like that probably would hurt.
And the two times I did something and it hurt, I was like going, oh. Stupid. That was stupid. Oh, God. It was instantly. But you know what? I never, ever again did that same action. That same action. It was a learning curve. You know, each curve was different. Well, each curve was different. That was a problem. It wasn't the same curve. So i conquered one curve but you know once you get down the curve and go you know that straight line there comes another curve there's another curve oh damn it so it was like you know it was never the same curve yep don't hit a curve straight on because then you fly over your handlebars all right i've done that too yeah yeah i've done that don't try to take your bicycle go across the cattle guard that doesn't always work out either you hit those pipes wrong all of a sudden your handlebars go sideways and off you go yeah and you know what really sucks about that is then you bend a rim, times you will. Yeah. Then you got to walk back home with a damn bent taco rim. Yeah.
And explain why you need a new rim. And then if it's in the budget in six months, you'll get a new rim. Yeah. Luckily I never taco to rim, but yeah, I did. Cause I was, I was going, I thought I had it smart. I was smart enough. I was going slow. Yeah. Just barely was able to keep my, uh, my balance on the on the bike, but then it, I happened to hit just funny and that thing yoinked over to a turn and down the bike went forward and off to the side. And on my back and again was that. A BMX bike or was that one of those with the ape hangers and the banana seat? No, no, no. It was, actually it was, It was before the mountain bikes came out, but it was a big, 21-inch wheel, BMX-style bike. It was that style.
It didn't have a three-speed or anything. It didn't have a transmission of any type. It was just the speed that you wanted to go, but it was bigger than a BMX bike was. It was closer to the size of a, uh, of a, of a mountain bike. Oh, okay. Gotcha. So, yeah, I wrote that, put that bike all the way over here and back. Yeah. I did the same thing. Started out with a banana seat with ape hangers. Yeah. Yeah. My first bike, my very first bike was a, was a healthy bicycle with banana seat. So. I think the only time y'all see those now is in a museum. So yeah i rode that thing until i was pretty much too big of course well i had it for a long time i was always been a bit of a late bloomer when it comes to the big advances and stuff so i didn't actually start losing teeth until i was like eight or nine years old which you know when you're five at six years old when all your friends are losing teeth, it's like, oh, what the hell, man? That's not cool.
I don't want to lose my teeth. I don't want to make money. No, I had to wait until... So, it was... I didn't actually learn to ride a bicycle until I was about six or seven. You know, most of the kids on the block were on a bike, and I was about two, three years after everybody else went. That kind of sucks. Ah, yeah. But once I learned by a damn, I was perpetually grounded off that bike. So. Yeah. I know that feeling. Yeah, there was, I think it was the fifth or sixth grade. Yeah, that was the shittiest summer of my life because I was grounded from my bike the whole damn summer.
I can tell you what I did wrong, but, you know, all I know is I was pissed off of my sister because she basically did the same damn thing I did. And she got, she was grounded off of for a week. And I think the difference between the two was that that was her first offense. And this was like my 37th offense. So probably like I'd gone off and probably was late coming, coming home or something like that. And my youngest sister, that was her first time being late. So, but that's the only thing I could figure. That was probably the big difference between the two, But my little, my little mind thought, oh, God damn, that's not fair.
I didn't get to ride my bike at all that summer. But yeah. I never got that punished or that much of a punishment. But anytime you couldn't ride your bike, that just, those days just sucked. Oh yeah. I had to walk everywhere. Of course I got around to where I got, I was okay with walking. And I quickly realized it's like, yeah, well, the best way to, uh, to get back in parents is not let the punishment bother you. And so, yeah, I'd get, I'd get grounded and I'd be like, oh, well, if that's how you want to do it, then, you know, that's, that's how you, that's how you want to do it. I'll just, that's fine.
I'll just walk. And so there's times after I got, after I got my, uh, my car, I'd get grounded off the maverick and i'd be like oh you know sweet i don't know it means i don't have to take my sister to school now so so don't be punished for uh for my for my punishment so i also meant that i was at school at 6 30 in the morning because i was if i hung around too long and waited too long at the at the house then uh that mom would probably just take the uh take uh her car take girls in her car and be like, for fucking hell, I don't want to have to do that because then I have to walk back to the house.
I go back to the house and then walk to school and then I'm late and I don't want to be late. There's a couple of times where about 6.30, almost 7 o'clock and I'll be like, I didn't zip out of the back and I was only two blocks out of town. High school was two blocks away. Elementary tree was two blocks away. So it's not going to kill them to walk. She didn't think it was going to. And yeah, they, they complained and bitch moaned and groan and threw a fit. Eventually I'd get the car back and I'd get the driver for about a month and I'd go off and see my girlfriend and be late coming home. And I'd be driving off of it. Yeah.
So that's the same car though, that would go off and tattle on me. If I tried to sneak in late, because anytime I got home, if I drove over 55 miles an hour, moment I, if I stopped, turn the car off, it backfire. So, so one, I got in trouble for speeding because there was still 55 mile an hour speed limit. And, uh, and two, it fire after, you know, after 10, 10 30 or whatever, whatever the, uh, the curfew was at that time, which is usually about 10 o'clock. So, yeah, I think mine was 10 o'clock on a school night and it was midnight or one on the weekends. Oh, no, no.
It was 10 o'clock on the weekends, and I didn't go out on weeknights. Well, I didn't go out on weeknights for the most part. But that was our curfew. Yeah. My brother's curfew. I just wouldn't ask for permission to go out to back to school nights. So it wasn't worth the hassle, in my opinion. So, yeah, go on my broom, turn on whichever, whatever tune, uh, at the moment was, uh, popular and less did, uh, until my, until, did we lose Brian? My sister discovered it. I discovered the song. Yeah, well, you're up there for about 15 seconds. Well, darn it. It's a lacquer. I tell you.
I was talking the whole time. Yeah, your headset is cutting in and out. Really? I've got four bars. What's going on here? You'll stop and then come back. I don't know if it's your wired Bluetooth aspect. I don't know. I don't know. That's, uh, hmm. Or if it's. Oh, yeah. I'm looking at the, uh, the, the post captioning and yeah, I see where it stops. Cause it was like, oh yeah. And then, okay. Now we'll start talking again. So, well, that's what happens when you, you know, you're still at work and get to do those wonderful things. Yeah. If I was still at work, guess what?
I wouldn't be having this conversation anyway with my company. I'm not confused. Yeah, we cannot use wireless headset, nothing. But that's okay. Don't bother me a bit. Just all these other morons that are freaking semi-drivers going down the road just texting away, running off the side of the road and it's like, you know, dude, you're an idiot. We can't have the phone in our hand. So that's the big thing. You can't have the phone in your hand and be seen on the camera. Yeah, the same way with us. But in turn, we can't have any type of wireless system either. We can't have any wireless distractions.
Now I have my phone positioned to where I can see it, but the camera can't. Gonna ask so what do you how do you what do you listen to your music on or do you just listen oh god i have radio well oh you know i i can i'm sure i can get you in on uh over here at gordon ishington but you know what here's the good thing from belton to abilene i got five stations, that play my style of music. Well, but you've got commercials on all five of those stations that play your kind of music. Shit, I have commercials on freaking... What the fuck is that? What the hell is that?
IHeartRadio? No, well, that too, and YouTube. Oh, yeah, but you can fill up... If you go off and you spend like $12 for Spotify or Apple, since you've got an angel you'd be Spotify, you don't get commercials you can still listen to music you won't listen to no commercials you can even listen to actual podcasts YouTube and get the same thing. 10 or is it 10 for 10 for YouTube premium yeah. But again that's I'm almost tempted to do that god damn those commercials are annoying as hell, yeah especially well and like i'll have mine on for the music and uh in the jeep and after every fucking song it's worse than the damn radio yeah song is a commercial oh you ought to try to try the shows that have gone off and allowed monetization and they're like 15 minute uh episodes 15 minute videos it's like every two and a half three minutes, commercials two commercials it's like mother fucker you're wearing me out here yeah you're right, yeah I get watching some stuff on YouTube that is you know I may have to do that I'll get at least twice where it stops and get commercials, so yeah Spotify 12 hours won't have to worry about it won't get commercials and yeah.
I might have to consider that if YouTube is $10. Yeah, YouTube likes to think they are the number one podcasting app on the internet. Oh! You all didn't catch any of the Time Magazine's Top 100 Most Influential Podcasts? Guess who's not there we aren't, but neither and this is where a lot of people are like I'm not pushing on this guess who also, isn't on there don't know Joe Graham gets not on there who is not one of the top 100 most influential podcasts, Phil Vaughn apparently is not considered one of the most influential podcasters out there both of those shows had the, president of the United States on there and they think that that was probably one of the biggest reasons why he was as influential as he was but yeah we have just some stupid ass damn shows and I don't think they're making it down But at the same time, I'm just like, I'm sitting there looking at what the heck it's like.
Man, you're coming in some bad Chinese salary. And I'm down to two bars. Yeah, you're coming in some bad Chinese salary. Did you hear that, Rich? Nope, I did not. Oh, okay. I came through nice for Rich, but not nice for Ron, huh? No, you didn't come through nice for me. I didn't hear a word you said, dude. Oh, okay. So I was silent. See, well, that just goes to show you. That just goes to show Ron likes me more. He heard more of what I said than you did. Well, that's up for debate. That is definitely up for debate. But that's a debate for another time.
So who beat him out? Cookie Monster? Hold up real quick. I'm down in a hole. Uh, just about right. There we go. Yeah. I don't know if I would have said that, but you went, I'm down in a hole. I don't mind. I'm in a hole. Just cause you're just, make sure you come up for air then. Or just hit the skinny pedal. Yeah. We've got the 100 best podcasts of all time. I don't think they're actually in order of most influential at least. What's showing up here is Tito Queens. So I don't know. I've not ever heard of this. It's Unfiltered Conversations. So I don't know exactly what that is. 30 for 30.
I have no idea what that one is. 99% Invisible. I have heard of that one. I listened to it a couple of times. Boring as Snot. Acquired Never heard of that one The Armchair, I've heard of Dax Shepard Never knew he had a podcast The Pools of Interest is another one Never heard of that one That is done by the meaning behind What We Were Okay, Bear Brook I don't know who that is Murad's Take on Tragedy Jake King okay yeah so a beautiful uh beautiful stories from anonymous people but they dig the big picture we have simon's podcast yeah every single one of those is like you know yep but i don't know daddy i've heard that one that's uh uh call daddy that's uh basically it's a podcast of The girl sits around all the time talking about fucking blowjobs.
It's just about the most boring thing you ever come across when it comes to her discussions and stuff. Just, yeah. And she's in the top 100 list of influencer podcasts. Yeah. The reason why is because that is about the only... She had Kamala on her show. So, yeah. Cocaine and rhinestones Yeah I could switch again I could switch, a friend. I've heard of that one. I don't know who it is. Criminal, The Daily. I've heard of The Daily. Then they got one that I actually do listen to. Dan Collins, Hardcore History. Yeah. That one is an amazing podcast.
They got Dead Eyes, Deer Shurgers, Breath, Sex, and Money, Dakota Ring, Dirty John, The Dream, The Dropout, Ear Hustle Embedded, everything is. The Ezra Klein Show I've heard of Ezra Klein But again didn't know they had a podcast Yasco Fighting in the real room Freshman Doing their guys, With Good Hang with Amy Poehler, Well that's a Disgusting damn podcast That ever was one Good Inside with Dr. Becky The Hobbitat It keeps going but you know I'm just down to the H's, well good let's go ahead and just we're good I figured you might have said that, you know I think I got the point so yeah I mean, ain't never listening to none of them yep never listened to I've listened to a couple three of them and there's only one of those that I currently listen to as of now And he hadn't put out an episode in a while, Doesn't mean anything It just means that he hadn't put out an episode in a little while, Okay But if you ever get a chance And you want a good podcast to listen to Hardcore History Is a podcast to listen to And you can turn it on And you will listen to it for pretty much Your whole, Whole day of Working Because his episodes are typically six to eight hours long.
And they're multi-part, too. Like, what was one of the ones he's done here? Three ones that I've heard here recently. Or not recently. It's been a couple years since I've listened to them. But it was Supernova in the East. It was about the Pacific Theater during World War II. And that was I mean that was like five six part series that he did on that on Japan in the war and they were six to eight hours a piece so you bet you have days of listening. And, you know, that one wouldn't be too bad for me because I like watching, I think it's on the History Channel, World War II in Color.
Yeah, World War II in Color. Very good show, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I like to watch those. So listen to that podcast. You know, you never know. Right. Yeah, Dan Carlin's way of telling stories about stuff, it's fascinating. He talks about, I forget what the actual series is called, but he talked about World War I and what it must have been like to be in that era because like Battle of the Somme and what they used to call Rolling Thunder, which was just artillery, just a line going forward, and just multiple lines of artillery, you know, scooching forward the whole time. And it was just a fascinating tale that Dan would talk about. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I know all about the Rolling Thunder. Not World War II, World War I. I think I said World War II. But yeah, World War I, whenever, yeah. Uh, first time Germany invaded, uh, France. That was both of them. I know it was both of them, but I was talking about the first time they invaded France. Yeah, because that was the Versailles Treaty that ended. Yeah, World War II. Yeah. Treaty of Versailles was, yeah, ended World War I and Hitler said, fuck you. I was like, I don't like this deal. We're going to try something different. Yeah so true so there we go and hopefully no one pays attention and speaking about wars did you guys hear that Loretta Swit passed away who?
Hot lips off of MASH oh yeah yeah she had passed away like a month ago was it a month ago or was it just a couple I thought it was a couple weeks ago it's only been a couple weeks Yeah And then Lonnie Anderson Passed away too Yeah Lonnie Anderson Passed last week Yeah, He saw that I'm like Well, And hopefully They don't bury her at sea Because she will Definitely float. Well everyone Was talking about How her hair Might be a wig Because of how, Like a WKRP How it would Just Almost look like a helmet It was perfect All the time Oh yeah It was perfect all the damn time.
Yeah, never had one hair out of place. Nope. Nope, not at all. I wonder how much hairspray she went through in her lifetime. Probably about 20, 55-gallon drums worth. Dude, she had stock in a Aquanet, man. I'm sure she did. Me, I haven't ever had to worry about that. You just got Stunky Johnson paste wax, don't you? Yeah. Yep. Pretty much. Buffing in there and shines right up. You can put a flashlight on that bald head and make it light the sky, man. Airplanes get blinded by it. Yep. And don't be standing around me when the sun is shining. That's the truth. But you know, I am sexy though. All right, you're damn.
Yeah, I'm not gonna agree with that statement. Yeah, well you can go fuck yourself too. I'm not going to agree with that, hoss. I didn't say you had to. Oh, I said you have to go fuck yourself. But you know, Hey, I don't mean terrible. So, all right, man. All right. Is it really all right? Truthfully? You've got a toupee. What? No, no, I don't have to toupee. I'm prepaid. You're prepaid. Okay. Not to pay. Prepaid. Okay. Well. For the moment since I'm out. Yeah. Yo, you. Hey, I used to rock a mullet. I used to rock a mullet in the day. Never had one of those. But today wasn't that day. That was like, yeah. 1985.
Yeah, I tried one for a short bit, and it just got out. It was nice to actually be allowed to have his touch my collar. But shortly thereafter, I was like, yeah, okay, never mind. I don't see what the... I didn't have the nerve to go it out any further. So I was just like, yeah, we're not... I'm definitely not hippie material. Yeah, mine was down to the bottom of my shoulder blades when I came in the Army. And it has never been shit longer than a quarter of an inch ever since then now if it touches my ears that drives me fucking nuts if i don't shave early enough and it touches my ears man, the the beard on my face is the longest hair i've had since high school wow it's just what i can braid on my back but you know we'll we won't talk about that but we won't talk about that, always recedes but did any radio recently there rich did i lose everybody no no no i'm not here might have lost rich huh.
Start bumping. We had to wander off the bathroom. Right. Right when we're trying to talk to him. He wanders off. I had to pee. I had to pee. I got to pee. You got to grump. Hey, when you got to go, you got to go. Absolutely. Played any radio there recently, Rich? No, I haven't. No. I haven't really. It looks like since it's getting later in the summer, the signals are getting better. I got to try it out tomorrow. I might play some tonight, though. Oh, okay. Because they're saying all the bands are supposed to be pretty good tonight. Oh, okay. So see if I can't talk around the world. Yeah.
But just the summertime in general? is just always bad yeah summertime is normally pretty rough okay and yeah it'll start it'll start picking back up because i mean i mean shoot i mean i'm not saying it's done getting hot down here but it's actually been really really nice it's been tolerable uh i was gonna say i don't know i don't know how what y'all what your temperature got up to today we hit 101 yeah Yeah, no, see, we didn't. We did. Mid to high 80s. Mid to high 80s. You know, so, yeah, it's not. Come on, snowman, you're the one of those bitches about being cold. You ain't even down where it's warm.
What? Hey, I'm not cold. I'm not cold. I'm enjoying the fucking weather, guys. I'm enjoying this shit. I was enjoying it when it was melting temperatures. You know, I mean, I did not bitch. Right. In fact, in fact, in fact, I got out and hacked up my other two edge bushes today. Oh, okay. And mowed my lawns, so I got that done. I bet you that was a lot of enjoyment. I fucking hacked that shit up them bitches. Fucking dig them up then. I want, cause they look nice once he gets finished hacking them up, you know, kind of like a fresh haircut. They look a little ugly when you first get the, get it done, but then they go in and, and, uh, I don't like them.
Oh, do you not? No, I hate hedges. The only reason why I cut them is because when I pull out of my driveway, I could not see left or right to see if traffic was coming. Why did you just get a sawzall and cut the damn things to the ground? Well, you know, I want to, but if I bend down that low, I'm not going to get back up. So, yeah, I've got a sawzall. I've got a 100-foot cord. And if you want to come cut him down, by God, dude, come on. I can't bend over for that long. Seriously. I can't either. I just bend over like that to tie my shoes. And I, I, I get all wide headed and stuff.
Yeah, no, I say I, yeah, I, uh, I mean, shit, it was bad enough. No, I just, I just, I just cut these things down to where when I pull out of my driveway, I can look left and I can look right and I can see who's coming and who's not coming. Well, man, you could have gone off and just, you know, just taking it and, uh, plunge cut into it and just cut a circle in the middle. And that way he could have looked through. No, no, I just know that would require too much effort, right? Oh, that would have been funny though. I just, I just, I just hacked everything off and then I hooked up my trailer and I backed my trailer up in the front yard and I loaded and I loaded my shit on my trailer and then drove across the yard and unloaded it.
Wisdom. You said you were thinking those bushes were hollies, so they've got the little sharp pokey leaves then, right? No, no, no, no. No, no, the small leaf holly doesn't have the pokey leaves. Oh, okay. The regular holly, yes, they do. Gotcha. So, yeah, no, I looked that up because, you know, like I said yesterday, I've got a tree that's a small leaf holly. And because when I saw the tree and saw the berries, I'm like, what the hell is this? So I asked Google and that's what Google said. Google said a buttweed. I don't know. So why didn't you ask Siri or whoever you're paying me this? I don't have, what?
Oh, oh, oh, you mean Gemini? Yeah. Well, I did. I just said Google. oh okay oh yeah so you said fuck Gemini no no hell no. No, you've got, um, the well that we were at in the, in the, uh, ditches are some, some interesting looking plants. The what now? So at the well that we're, that we're, that we're working at. All right. In the ditches along the side of the road. Okay. There are these little, almost look like orange spider whips over these patches of grass, patches of, of, of other plants. And I sat there and I looked at that. I stopped and I got a picture of the damn thing. Cause I was like, oh, okay, what the hell is this?
And well posted for us. Well, I'm, I'm, I'm, I will. Oh, okay. I was trying to look at the, what it was called. Yeah. And it's apparently is a type of water plant. D-O-D-D-E-R. But see here. No wrong button. Bring that one up. And bring that up in chat right there. Photos. We have got one, two, three, four. And the fifth one is kind of the, kind of shows you what the, uh, what the, the, uh, kind of shows you what I'm seeing. You'll see little orange splotches over on the side of the ditch and it's called a daughter, but apparently it's a parasitic plant of some sort, but I have not ever seen these damn things before.
And I just, I thought it was, I didn't know if maybe the, uh, body snatchers actually started trying to, uh, invade and just a bunch of them landed on the side of the, uh, on the side of the road and didn't make it into somebody's, uh, make it into somebody's house like they were needing to. Saying, I ain't going to lie. Neither are. Yeah. Looks more like a viney. Yeah, it's kind of a viney looking thing, but it's, like I said, it's just, it's odd. Because, I mean, I've not ever seen them before, and I mean, they're just spread out on top of the other plants.
Yeah, I see that. And at first I was like going, what the hell type of orange spider web is that? I'm going to find out it's not an orange planter whip somehow, they're unique that's for sure yeah I've never seen and once I got the name Donnard I was like alright well let's see what plant identifier I think is what it's called, plant net yeah plant net and see what plant net came up with, and they called it a buckwheat daughter. Buckwheat. Not a buckwheat. Wrong little rascal. Alfalfa daughter. Well, it is parasitic. Yeah. It is. Going for domination of that little patch of plants.
Yeah. It's hungry. Well, yeah, so was the other plant going. Man, I don't know. I don't think I've got a daughter. I keep eating and keep losing weight. I don't have that problem. I don't either. Opposite on me yeah no i've got i don't i don't i don't have any major contests coming up till uh we'll see october i think okay so well it's a winter time is when the northern hemisphere has all the contests isn't it oh no oh no they're they're going year-round worldwide, oh yeah yeah yeah it don't matter they run them and sometimes it's good for propagation and sometimes it's not i'm gonna say it's actually that'd be a good way to up the difficulty is to do it during the summer well some do and some i mean i don't know why they they run them in the winter, but well, well, I see in the summer, everyone's out vacationing and doing that.
And then the wintertime, you know, everyone's at home. So, you know, it's best to get maximum participation, you know, so. Right. And then, you know, that's about your, your aspect and, you know, participation trophy. Right. No, I'm, I go for the win. I just don't make it. I always go for the win. He's going the distance. He's going for speed. But yeah, no, it's, uh, yeah, like I said, I just, I just looked when I got back here tonight and it's, it's showing, it's showing signals ought to be pretty good. And I need to kind of jump on and check.
Well, there you go. Just been lazy. Yeah. And we know after tomorrow, you ain't going to get much ham time anyway. Right. I'm going to be bugged you're going to be super busy yeah. Little pupper dog on the ins and outs of rich life, how to sit, stay, especially when the Jeep is moving. Well, that's when you put a body harness and a zip line across the top of the Jeep. You know, actually, this dog is so short, I don't think she can jump that high. Oh, she can. I don't know. Well, she can jump out. I've seen little short-legged dogs like boxons jump into semi-trucks, so she'll be able to jump into the team.
She may not want to, so she may sit there and look at you with those eyes and go, but I can't, Dad. And you can go, okay, and pick her up and put her in there. I'll be like, no, touch your ass on up in there. I'll teach her. Yeah, a friend of mine, when he took, he had two dogs that he would always take out wheeling with him, and he got body harnesses and then real short leashes that he had attached to. I can't remember if he had it made or bought but it was a bar going across the top of his, roll cage on the back seats so that if he had the doors off you know the dogs could get just enough to get to the edge but it wouldn't allow him to go any further yeah oh come on now that's what, My granddad used to, of course, he wouldn't do it on purpose.
Of course, my granddad was, he was old school. His dog's name was Dog. And so... Dog led the ride on the back of the back of the toolbox of his pickup and there was more than one time you'd sit there and see granddad go around the corner and dog would just go shoot right off of it he'd get back up and run and jump back in the bed of the pickup before granddad even got himself, put back into fourth gear yeah I knew a guy that had two labs, he'd set his labs and he had a Ford Ranger they'd jump in the back and they'd just ride right there they wouldn't jump out nothing oh yeah, I could do that my dumb ass my dumb ass dogs sit there and I stop at the traffic light they'd both hop out want to go play, or visit and go visit everybody or go snip and pee Watson would definitely do that Watson's definitely a leg hiker, It irritates the hell out of me too.
Cause there's many times where rain will come up, something, she'll find something really interesting. And so she'll be sitting there smelling and watch her walk up there. He'll smell it for a little bit and then come along and take a leg on her head. It's like, God damn it, dog. Got this bright yellow streak on her on top of her noggin now. So she pissed at me cause I have to go off and wash her head. Like, geez, man, I'm not trying to piss you off. It's just your brother. Yeah. Siblings, they can, they can duke it out. But when the parents come along, yeah, it's a whole different, that's a whole different story.
So. Oh, I know I said this last night, but I'll repeat it again tonight for the podcast. What was it the other day? Driving down the road. What did we discuss? It was a GMC Denali. I think it was. Right. Three rows of fucking ducks on the dash. That's not that dash. Three rows. That could have been easily a good 80, 90, 100 ducks. I'm like, wow. No, thank you. The one that I got from the Jeep meet that we had at the end of July that somebody put on my handlebar or on my whatever the fuck you call that to get in a fucking vehicle. So anyway, so I just ducked another Jeep that just happened to be sitting in the Walmart parking lot.
So I think I'm going to have to grab like about six of those ducks I got from down in a, down a Jeep week and going ducks more Jeeps in a Walmart parking lot. Well, you would make your day. Oh yeah, you'd make your day a hundred percent. Now, especially if it's, you know, and the one that I happened to put the duck on was a stock Jeep, and it had maybe four ducks on the dash. I'm sure I just absolutely made that person's day. Or maybe that person just wanted four ducks. Well, you know what? They may have taken it from their door handle and put it on another Jeep. Who knows? By that time I was already probably at the house unloading the groceries who knows but yeah, but the ones that display them you know they're happy to get they're happy to get ducks the ones that don't display them well we just pass them along, to somebody that does enjoy them but that's okay we'll get a whole bunch of ducks on Richard's Jeep when I come down. I don't see how.
Whole collection just while i'm in your jeep just start pulling out of the backpack and you know get the double-sided tape and your your dash will be all kinds of ducked up, remember that i'm gonna hide them all over your jeep so everywhere you look you find one find one here find one there find one here yeah but as soon as i find it just that's the longer richie jeep Put it in the handle. Put it in all the door handles. Put three of them per door handle on your Jeep. That would be fucking hilarious. I was going to say, I've only got two doors, man. Right. Now you got three. You got three. Well, yeah, okay.
All right, technically, oh my God. Got to get technical here. Yeah, we're going to get technical. God dang. Because I could wedge a couple of them in there as well. What if I don't have my doors on now? What are you going to do then? I'll wedge them in your drill. No, I got double-sided tape in my toolbox in the back. I'll just tape that, and you know what? You'll have all kinds of ducts on your stinger bumper. You know what? I got Gorilla Glue. I'll put them all over your bumpers. And I'll even take the ones that I have. because I haven't mailed them to the kids yet. You've got the stock bumpers, don't you?
Who, me? No, you don't. No, I got a stinger on the front. Oh, yeah. Now, the back is the stock, but not the front. Yeah. He has 200 ducks stuck to his bumper. That's all right. I got a grinding wheel. Meow, meow, meow. That would definitely fuck up the finish on that stinger bumper, though. But, you know, I could always get some more car paint or what's that stuff that they use for the bedlining stuff. Yeah. And just repaint it. Right. No big deal. Or just leave it the fuck alone and say, you know, it was when I went out wheeling. What was that? I just jumped out of the trees.
Actually I've seen a guy who has a he actually had it done to his pickup but, do that to a Jeep would be just as almost just as awesome but had, rhinoskin bed liner done to his whole pickup I've seen that on Jeeps and pickups I was like no I don't have to worry about scratching shit, yeah no I got a couple of friends that had their whole fucking Body of their Jeep is freaking bedlining. Colored bedlining at that. Because you can order custom colors for that bedliner shit. Yep, you can. She got done doing that Jeep. I'm like, you know what? More power to you. But yeah, there's a whole, I'd say there's probably about five, six Jeeps within all the clubs I'm in.
Yeah, bed liners on the whole body. Yeah, it takes about seven rattle cans is all it takes. Wow. Yeah, seriously, ask Matt. He'll tell you. I'm not lying. He's Donny. I've watched him do it. I mean, that sounds like something Matt would do. Right? But yeah. What did he do? it. Paint it is deep with bed liner paint. Say it with Prylon. Is that his current one or the previous one? Previous one. Yeah, that was all rattle can. The base coat was a bed liner paint. Oh, okay. What did he do, roll on the bed liner and then rattle can spray on pocket? No, no. No, he spray painted the bed liner paint on, and then the other colors he spray painted them on.
Oh, okay. It was all rattle can, dude. Oh, okay. I didn't know that they had the bed liner in a rattle can. Oh, hell yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, I've never researched it either, but. But yeah, it's, I mean, I watched, I mean, it's not hard. I can't spray with a spray can, so I knew I wasn't going to try it. Handle things now that you can use to put on the top of a spray can and, you know, spray out the paint. Yeah, I'm still not that good. My thing is I tend to stay in one spot too long. Oh, okay. Well, that just means it's better protected, especially if you're doing down by the bottom of the doors.
Yeah, but there's long streaks. It runs. Nah. Trying to chase a run in spray paint? Yeah, that's a lesson in fetal right there. Ain't that the truth? You know, I mean, I've tried that. I've tried to chase a run. That didn't work out so well. It never does. No, it just, yeah, that don't work. No, it doesn't. Yeah, you're right. It doesn't. Yeah. Neighbor just bought a he's got what is it a chevy 3500 with a i don't know what that big diesel is in that truck but it gets like instead of miles to the gallon gallons to the mile type aspect so he bought himself just a beater truck to get past you know get to and from work because it's Well, from here, my house to Fort Hood, the back entrance is like, oh, 18 miles, 20 miles.
So basically 50 miles a day, just two and some work. So he bought himself a beater, an old Nissan two-door extended cab pickup, and it's blue. And he, last weekend, decided to paint his rims gold, his mirrors gold, and the truck is blue. So it doesn't look too awfully bad. But yeah, both of his mirrors, yeah, you can see the runs of where he stayed too long with the paint. Not on just one mirror, but on both of them. Hey, a matching set, man. You're right exactly a matching set you know i'll have to mention that to him you know he has screwed up on the first one so he had to make the other one match.
Yeah pretty much the struggle is real man i get it yeah so but that's his unique, you know going to work pickup says it's going to save him probably a. Several thousand dollars a year in gas by getting this truck to go to work at. Probably. What did they use this other truck for? Navigate. Just sits in the driveway. Weekend, now his nice truck is basically the weekend going places truck if they go anyplace. Oh, okay. But his wife has a Jeep. It's not the Wagoneer. Let me guess. It's a Renegade. No, it's not the Renegade. What, Patriot? No. What was the shitbox's name? Cherokee. Cherokee, that's it. I believe that's the version she has, the newer one.
So it's a two-wheel drive. My Cherokee was four-wheel drive, but mine was older too. Yeah, hers is within the 2020 years. Oh, okay. So yeah, it was probably a two-wheel drive then. Oh, yeah, it is. I've looked. Okay. Because I asked her when we're going to go out wheeling. It's like I don't think that's gonna happen like why not it's Jeep well I don't even know if I have four-wheel drive so I looked up underneath this like nope you only got two wheel drive two-wheel drive so yeah we ain't gonna go wheeling well, You can go wheeling in a two-wheel drive. It depends on where you go as to if you make it or not. Well, yeah, that's true.
Take the baby routes and not the big boy routes. Yeah. But I did look on the side and it doesn't have any trail-rated badges on it. I think those are just freaking stupid. well getting that trail rated badge on on a vehicle that was that that wouldn't be too funny to go off and have some trail rated badges slapped on on the side of a out of a stock jeep, well they do yeah i bet you they do i bet you they do but you know it looks like they had gone went off tech like black bear road or black bear trail yeah black yeah black house yeah Yeah, but yeah, stock Jeeps, you know, some of them have the trail-rated badges.
You know what? Trail-rated badges still look like they're still being used as mall crawlers. Of course, yeah, you know. All Jeep Wranglers made are trail-rated. They have been since 1941, okay? Now, your Cherokees, your Grand Wagoneers, your Wagoneers. Oh, what's the little bitty freaking the compasses? Yeah. Yeah, or the freaking renegades. And even they even have some of the renegades that they put trail rated badges on. Now, I would never take a renegade on a freaking trail. I mean, good God. A turtle has more height clearance than them things. Yeah. You know? But, you know, it's, it's, I don't know, some of the stuff they say, oh yeah, it can go on a trail.
Yeah. What? A half of a gravel road. A jogging trail is not a trail. Yeah. That just, yeah. No, I saw one, I saw a compass the other day and I wanted to, if I, if I wasn't in the truck, I would have gotten a picture of it just because of how absurd it was. Because again, the weird, you know, she had ducks on her, on her, uh, on her dash. And it was a chick that was driving it and it was like, you know, like metallic blue or whatever. And I saw that and I was going, yeah, technically you're a Jeep, but you're not a Jeep. You're technically you have the jeep name on on your on the nose of your car of the vehicle but you're not a fucking jeep i'm not a jeep person even i know that.
And did she have three rows of ducks stacked on her dash no but she didn't have she had some of the little bitty one little ones she had some of the bigger ones about the size that you actually would have in a bathtub. Oh my God. I was just like going, geez, what a, what a jump out in front of her, make her stop, reach in there, take all those off. Look, you don't deserve those. Fuck you thinking, chick? Get caught. Well. Get a real freaking Jeep, and then you can have these back. Come see me. Well, that's like the Volkswagen bug I've seen come up on my Facebook feed that has semi-stack pipes. Now, that's cool, though. That would be cool. That's heavily modified vehicles.
Those are awesome. But no, to go off in that. Go ahead. Go ahead. it also had the five clearance lights on the top and that would be cool yeah yeah well if it comes back up around again I'll send it to y'all, yeah it was yeah it was cool it would never be anything I would do, no no it wouldn't be anything I would do either but I tell you what some of those rat rods that I see come across my Facebook feed them are fucking cool pool. Them what? Oh, the rat rods? Yeah, rat rods. Yeah, just wait. You're gonna see them all over the place down here. Knocked over. Maybe. You're gonna, oh my god, you're gonna see all kinds of shit. I'm sure I will.
Actually, I can't wait, you know. Yeah, one day I'll have one again. One day. But Today is not that day And tomorrow is not looking much better Well, that says you have to have it right now Well, it would be nice to have it right now Well, yeah, it would be But, you know, today is just not your day Today is not my day Nope But that doesn't mean that one day That's right That's right, one day. There's a, there's a so-called new strain of the flu, AKA COVID. I'd say that there's a new strain of COVID. I know that China right now is wicked out because they've got Chaga's disease going, going running rampant.
Well, there was a Chaga. It is, it's present here in the U S but you only get it from when kissing bugs bite you. They're usually the carriers of, of child disease, but anyhow, what it does is it causes severe pain in your joints. Oh, well. Yeah. So from what I, from remember it, right. Or they call it, or that might be just how they describe it, but I thought they called it something along the lines of like shattered glass. It feels like shattered glass being stuck in your joints. Ooh. Yeah. Stupid, painful. And apparently that's going through, going around and they've got like 7,000 cases of it in one part of China, which no, my luck probably got a, uh, got some type of, uh, of, of viral labs next to it.
Well I'm sure yeah you know and that's kind of interesting that yeah a new strain of flu is now called or associated with COVID. Yeah well that's like you'll never why is the common cold not common, because COVID is the common cold it just means the name of it and that's all it is no one knows it as the common cold or the flu anymore it's all known as COVID yeah and if you look at the symptoms it's the same thing as I'm in cold or the flu okay and yeah but they'll like a hundred and ninety eight. Of the cold virus, so you'll never catch any two. You'll never catch all of them in your lifetime. No. And when you get vaccinated, you're not even vaccinated for the current one. Yeah, that's correct.
You're vaccinated for last year's version of the flu. Mm-hmm. Yep. But, yeah, it's called XFG, X-ray Fox Golf. That's the new strain that it has hit America and all like that. But, yeah, whatever. It's the flu. Right. I read the article, and that's just like, yeah. They listed the symptoms. I'm like, yeah, that's a cold. You know, and I never got COVID during the pandemic. I never did. No, I didn't either. But half the plant did. I say that's a thing they caught the flu like like they probably do every year, uh you know i don't know because i haven't caught the flu for like the last time it kicked my motherfucking ass i was out for a week i think that was about seven years ago and yeah i couldn't even fucking hardly get out of bed for seven days.
It's been, it's been, it's been quite a while since, since been knocked on my ass like that. And I did not enjoy it one bit. No. Oh, I was not at all. Not at all. Yeah. It kind of like sucked. I start calling you the Grinch. Okay, that's nothing new. I mean, I've probably branched out for the last, I don't know, 20, 30 years. So that's nothing new. No, I was going to say 100 years, but you know, okay. Well, we'll go with years. Well, you know what? And actually it's only been 40 years. No. Was it 40 years? Yeah. 35 years ago today is when they deployed forces to Iraq for Desert Shield.
Yeah. And I was part of the very first brigade in country. That kind of sucked. I bet it did. Yeah, it did. Because that's when the only thing that didn't have any, you know, dining facilities, nothing like that. We were in a big fucking airplane hangar for about, oh shit, three weeks. Yeah, it was all MREs. Day in, day out. That was a lot of fun. Yeah, you talking about having a hard time pooping? You see. So you're saying if you ever have a case of the severe shits, just go buy yourself a bunch of MREs and proceed to eat them. Uh, yeah. They will bind you up. They will bind your ass up in a heartbeat. That shit is cement.
Um, pretty much. Pretty much. You see, I never had a problem with that. I can still shit. Man, I tell you, being out in the field for a couple weeks eating MREs, yeah. Coming home? Yeah, I could, but that motherfucker was a goddamn Lincoln log. Rick, Lincoln log. Hey, whichever way it came, it came, dude. I was happy. Yeah. I was happy, too, after that one. I was like, God damn. He was a singing. See, I never had a problem pooping. MREs are not. I never had a problem. Well, aren't you just the fucking special one? Yes, I am, by God. Don't you forget. You weren't just special.
You are special. I don't understand why there is no. You are special. Special ed, maybe. special ed special k you know you take your pick either way you had to get your helmet on to ride the little yellow bus there we go sorry i'm turning on the the roadcaster so i'm getting myself all set up here for last you know hour and 15 of the of the show. Hotel with you well i'm not i'm in a trailer house now, well why don't you just bachelor too hey man yeah i am i have got a dedicated room and i have actually got the company man's operations room oh so i have got i mean but i have to share a bathroom with one of the other, other guys that said that's here, but you know, we, you know, that's one of the guys just, he doesn't, uh, he, he actually lives like 10 miles down the road. So he's like, Oh, I ain't never gonna sleep here.
And so, so that's. I actually have a bathroom in my room, but, but same time I have got a, a desk that hits all four corners or all four walls, three of the four walls in this room. Yeah. So I've got like desk room for, for days. I just got to go off and get myself a, uh, a chair that I can bring in here. So for the time being, I have to take my bed and scoot you around to, to, to fit places that I'm at. Oh, well, that sounds like a lot of fun. Me. Me, myself, and I, if I'm running 12-hour shifts, let's see, I'll be 12 hours on, an hour unwinding, 10 hours asleep or trying to get to sleep, and then an hour getting ready the next day.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry myself about a damn chair, Well, you know, sometimes it's just nice Sometimes it's just nice to sit in a chair, dude Well, yeah, you're right I got my ass propped in a chair right now My recliner Where my ass usually hangs out at When I'm at home, Watching your court TV, And why did Brian come on twice? Because I throw myself in front of a loop hold up I sound drunk yeah you do dude. Okay that's got to take it no I've still got my voice in the air so hold up hold up hold up yeah you definitely sound like you're in a barrel just shut down the phone alright. Let's see let's come on twice is he, Now, let's get the other earpiece in.
Yeah. And can I hear y'all now? I don't know. Oh, yeah, I can. All right. I don't know if you can. Let me turn the volume up just a little bit for the Bluetooth. I will tell you right now, your audio sounds a lot. Shit done better, doesn't it? Oh, God dang, dude. That's my man. I mean, I was like, whatever. We'll deal with it. But that's one of the reasons why I was trying to get myself over to, over here to the, uh, to the, to the trailer as quick as I can. But same time, I was just like, no, no, no, it's so good. It just, it just, you just sounds a lot better when you have.
Yeah, I got it. Yeah, I got it. I'm yeah. Yeah, no life. Basically, the trailer just got like small kitchenette and two rooms and a bathroom type setup. Um, it's, uh, yeah, it's got, it's not, it's not a small kitchenette. It's a full size kitchen. So is it like a full size home? Yeah, it's a full size trailer house. Oh, okay. So, so yeah, it's, uh, got a three bedroom, technically two bath, but they turn. One closet into a. Bathroom, and I just noticed that I've got little nightlights underneath the cabinets here. Ain't that cool? Of course, like I said, this used to be for the company man.
He would have all his computers. This was his operating room, so he's supposed to have all his computers and well-monitoring equipment all stashed up. So. Gotcha. But yeah. Dude, I'd be spreading out in that thing then. Say again? I'd be spreading out in that thing. Oh, I do my darndest. The only issue that you have is you don't want to get too spread out because you have a cleaning lady that comes in from time to time. And it just gets a little embarrassing for her to have to come in and pick up after me like I'm a damn five-year-old or something. So, hey, if that's what she gets paid to do, I mean, I wouldn't be nasty or nothing, but I ain't go for it, right?
You know, I mean, I mean, I got to pick up after myself, but, you know, I don't care. It's like, fuck it. You know, that's like, that's like hotel rooms. I don't, I don't leave them trash, but you know, I, you know, I, I mean, I, I take all my stuff, put it by the trash can or whatnot. I don't know why, but I always half-ass make my bed. Oh yeah. You know, cause that's just me. Cause I make my bed every morning, but you know, yeah. In a hotel room. No, I don't, I don't worry about it too much. Yeah. My bed dude really really gotta at least make your bed man uncle sam is gonna cry now that he knows that right i mean well he he can cry he can go cry a fucking river for all i care.
Why why make my bed i understand it's the because you accomplished one thing above all else that day You're right. You're right. That, that is the first accomplishment of a day. That is correct. I accomplished something else first. Well, I do too. I usually like to go poop before I make my bed, but I'm here. I make my, I just, it's not a, it's not by military standards, by any stretch of the imagination. It's just me taking blankets and throwing them back over and just kind of smooth them out a little bit. But, but no, I mean, a quarter is no, is not going to bounce by, uh, by any sense of grandeur.
Yeah. Or any stance of any standards. Exactly. Yeah. Oh no, same, no, same here. But you know, I, you know, I, you know, my sheets and blankets, I, I make them smooth and make them look nice. Right. Just in, just in case. I mean, I know it's a girly coming by to say hi. No, anybody really. I mean, you know, someone comes by, at least my bed is going to be made. The rest of the house could look like shit, but my bed is going to be made. It's weird. I know. No, I try and keep the house in decent shape. I got my kitchen or my dining room table. This guy. It. Yeah. Well, your dining room table, that, well, your dining room table is like my dining room table. It's just a total clusterfuck.
Yep. It sure is. And I've never seen your dining room table, but I'll take your word for it. It pretty much looks like yours. Okay. Well, I don't feel bad then. Oh no, don't feel bad. It's normal. I mean, one day I will get around to getting it back you know straight again but you know but that day is not today nope and tomorrow's not looking good either. And on the weekend right I don't do that on the weekends man that's it I'm out, I was gonna say you should be doing a whole bunch of shit on the weekends no I go do my piano lessons on the weekends And I'm pretty much good.
Well, you could go fly your drone. Well, yeah, I need, yeah. Yeah, no, I just, yeah. And, and since, and, and since I'm going to have a puppy now, you know, I don't, I don't know about this whole walking thing. It'll do. Good and that's what you say but you know what trade me please hey i walk i walk a great dane and a and a dipshit so you can now granted i haven't walked i walk them whenever i'm home and. And here the last well last time i was here i didn't because it kept getting up into the 90s and so i don't walk them when it's that hot just because the cement gets the asphalt gets too hot for the feet yeah but but i mean hell you might start checking around and seeing if there's a dog park or is there a dog beach yeah yeah i know where i know where there's a couple of so yeah and uh you might just by keeping her on the on the uh on the on a leash for the first you know the first a bit of time while, you know, other dogs come around and sniff her to just try and kind of see how she reacts.
Because, yeah, she may in the in the high stress environment of of the dog pound, she was probably a bit on the scared side. But when she starts to come into herself a bit more, she may she may be coming, start having a great time just running around being a being a social little dog. Or you might be one of those who goes, you know, my dog doesn't need to be socialized. It's the dog social with me and doesn't need to be social with anybody else. And that's cool too. You can find that usually find a, uh, a park that has a, uh, uh, a non-used baseball field that you can let her run free in.
Well, I know of a park that's hardly ever used though. I mean, well, there you go. Just hopefully she's a, uh, tennis ball enthusiasm. Yeah, well, I have to see, that's for sure. We can hope. Yeah. Life is all about the ball. Oh, yeah. I just set a chair out in the backyard and throw a tennis ball and let it go running get it. Well, see, but then you can go get those tennis ball launchers. You know, the stick that holds a tennis ball. yeah and that way you can go out to uh like the the park or whatever and you can really yeet the shit out of that damn thing and let her go chase after it and who knows she might just had the best time in her life he might i don't know we'll find out we'll find or he might or he might toss the ball and the dog will look at and go yeah i don't fucking think so he tosses and she goes, goes his way down. You're fixing to have to go walking.
My ass, because I'm going to leave that tennis ball there. He'll be like, yep, sorry. That's not how this game is played. Yeah. Or I'll just, I'll just tie a string to it. Oh, there you go. Use a fishing pole and just cast it out there. There you go. Just get a, get a shore pole and just. Zing it out there. Right. And this way she says, no, I ain't getting it. I just sit there and reel it back in. He gets within 10 feet of her. She's like, all right, there it is. I can get it now. Like, oh no. Who knows? Maybe she's just a low energy dog and she's just like, yeah, okay. I'm just, I'm okay with just kind of wandering around the backyard a little bit.
Everything looks good here. We'll see. Yeah. You know, we'll see. I got a feeling when she calms down and realizes that, hey, everything's okay. You know, she'll, she'll, be more playful and stuff. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's going to take a little while to get climatized. Yeah. Well, I know that. But the best part about it, in her mind, is, damn, I got a forever home now. Right. And I'm sure that she'll also be thinking, damn, it's nice and quiet at night around here. Well, you see, yeah, you know, it's funny. You know when I was walking back there there was only probably three maybe four dogs that didn't bark and she was one of them right, all the rest of them were just barking you know like look at me look at me look at me you know and I mean I get it you know being at a pound and stuff like that you know oh yeah they know they know but yeah Yeah, I walked by her, and I had seen her picture on Facebook and on the website and everything like that.
She just looked and was just like, here I am. But the first thing. Probably gave you a little smile oh i don't i don't know but the first dog i i looked at he was a puppy he was maybe oh god six months old and uh and uh i mean didn't bark didn't didn't really do anything went and sat with him in their in their you know little room oh my god he was he was way rambunctious i'm like dude i mean i understand you've got a lot of energy and i'm thinking yeah that would not wear me the hell out every day yeah because. Because you can't match your inner that that puppy's energy right right i mean i mean i'm not saying i'm not saying it's a bad dog it's not you know it's just it's just you know got a lot of energy the energy level was off the charts yeah lovable dog though, well they're all lovable right and even the ones that have been trained to be mean can be brought back yeah oh yeah and see I had told Dee because Dee had messaged me texted me and I had told her I had gotten a puppy and told her what kind and everything like that.
And of course, Dee was like, well, hopefully, you know, she's not, you know, mean or nothing. And then I told her, I said, any dog, any breed can be mean. If you treat it bad or abuse it. Yeah. Yeah. Don't take care of it. I don't. And you see, just because it's a pit bull, it's not a mean dog naturally. Nope. I mean, there's a reason why Petey was a pit bull from the Little Rascals. It was for the longest time. It was the number one breed in the U.S. Yeah. There were more pit bull terriers, pit bulls that were in homes with kids. Yeah. It's just, you know, people started breeding them for fighting and for aggression. And that's where the problem really started creeping up.
Well, the thing is, the freaking media got a hold of it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah, you're right. You're right. People started bringing them for, you know, bad things and stuff like that. But then the freaking media got a hold of it. And now, you know, a lot of people are like, oh, God, it's a pit bull. It's a pit bull. No, because all of the pit bulls I have ever known have been really nice, calm, lovable, caring dogs. Yeah. And, I mean, I've known a lot of people that have pit bulls. And I've always enjoyed them because they're fun, lovable to play with. Yeah. It's the environment that they, unfortunately, get put into. That's right.
Because just like any child born, are they racist? No. No. It is developed. Yep. It is. That's exactly right. And it don't matter what color you are. And when you're born, they're, you know, I've seen some videos of kids. Kids do not care what skin color is. Don't give nay damn. No, they don't. If they click and they get along, they don't give a shit what color skin they're, what they have. This is my friend. That's right. that's it they they're not racist that's what they're yeah you're right it'll never get to that though it will never get to that, because again look at all.
The crime look at New York City Chicago look at all the black on black crime it will, go away ever well no and I mean that's just that's part of some of, man's nature but at the same time you have the ghetto mindset that has taken over a lot of of the black community that is and that's where a lot of people are getting black fatigue and it's sad to say, say that, but I mean, even black people are getting black fatigue because they are not of the ghetto mind, the ghetto mindset. They are the ghetto culture. They're of the. American mindset, the African-American mindset. Some of them will still stick with that.
They're like going, no, they're the ones who go, no, I'm not an African-American. I'm American. I'm just, I'm that, you know, they make that particular line. They won't, they won't divide. I've noticed that on TikTok, a lot of black people are saying, no, I'm not African American. I'm a fucking American. Right. And it's like, finally, you know, and, and more people need to acknowledge it. They're Americans. Their, their whole family was American, you know? Yeah. But everyone wants to, keep us fighting against each other because they can get us better yeah that's all it is you know and, Joe's it's like you know I'm not racist I hate everybody equally you know but which is not true you, present yourself as a human decent person with you know some morals ethics and values I don't give a shit what color your skin is we can sit down and have a conversation all day long, but when you start throwing in the race aspect no conversation's done we ain't talking about that we'll talk about something else but it's just like you know.
I got a lot of black friends you know we can carry on a conversation for days about the same conversations that the three of us hold every week. Just about you know nothing and I don't even look at their skin. The skin is irrelevant. They just have more pigment than I do. That's it. Well, my best friend in high school was a black man. I played basketball with him. You played basketball? Yeah. Yeah, I used to play basketball, man. What was the rim set at, about four feet high? No, it was 10 foot. It was 10 foot And I did dunk it once That was the only time I ever did it But did the ball actually go in?
Yes, the ball went in Oh, okay That was going to be my next question It's like, okay Did you ever dunk one? Well, you just proved that you did Yeah, I did But you have to remember I was about half the size I am now. So so i i mean i i i didn't have a i didn't have all that weight holding me to the ground i was able to actually jump a minute yeah gravity does suck yeah but yeah no it's i mean yeah i don't i don't i don't i don't have a problem with people unless they're being dickhead Right. Yeah. Yeah. If you're going to be a dumbass, you know, no thank you. You'd be a dumbass someplace else. Right.
Absolutely. You know what I just thought of? Uh-oh. I'm going to have some of my ice cream tonight with the orange marmalade on it. With orange marmalade. Oh, my God. Orange marmalade is the best. Well, yeah, orange marmalade is good on toast, but. Didn't you just say ice cream? Yeah, I did. Vanilla. I still have some. Well, you know, I've put strawberry jam on ice cream. What's the difference? Orange marmalade? Oh my God. That just looks so good. I don't know why it just popped into my head. It's like, oh yeah, I got ice cream and I got orange marmalade. Because that's something that you can't always find in the store is orange marmalade.
No, but they come real popular about every time Paddington Bear comes out. The what? Paddington Bear. What the hell is that? Oh, bullshit, dude. You know who Paddington Bear is. Uh, I don't know. What about Paddington Bear? He liked orange marmalade. Oh, okay. Okay. I never had one of those bears. Well, I never had one either, but I know who Paddington Bear is. Unlike some uncultured swine around here. I have what you're talking about. I really don't. Oh, look it up. Paddington, just as a spell, B-A-D-D-I-N-G-T-O-N-B-E-A-R. Paddington Bath. He had the, I don't know, the plan.
Oh, okay. I see who you're talking about now. Had a corduroy coat. He's a, he's, he had it. The plaid corduroy? Oh, yep. He's the newer, he's a newer version of Winnie the Pooh, isn't he? No, actually he is, let's see here, there's a Wikipedia for Paddington. Though his name is just Paddington, the bear simply serves as a confirmed species known as Paddington Brown. For some, he first came about, and the first appearance was a bear called Paddington on October 13th of 1958. Well, that was that problem you did, because we had a problem with his book, right? I think he's just a statue of Paddington eating a marmalade sandwich in Lanchester Shire, or Lanchester.
Lancaster Square, London. That's just, yeah. He's a speckled bear. Yeah, he's a cartoon character, right? And he's from Peru. From Peru. Yeah, Origins Peru nationality is Peruvian-British. It was created by Thomas, what was his name? Thomas Michael Bond. Created by Michael Bond. Bond. James Bond. No, this is Michael Bond. Probably cousin to James Bond. Bring the anthropomorphized, pickled bear from the darkest Peru with his old hat, battered suitcase, duffel coat, and the love for marmalade sandwiches has become a classic character in British children's literature. Paddington, light, addressing people as Mr., Mrs., or Miss, but rarely by first names.
And kind-hearted, though, he inflicts hard stares on those who incur his disapproval. So, he's a very British bear. Very British. Yeah. Aristocratic bear. Just very properly mannered bear. Say, did they make movies? Oh, they made, actually, they put out some fairly recent ones. Okay, I guess I'm going to have to look them up and see if I can't watch one of the movies. Let's see here. 89, Paddington Bear in 89 is a television series, Adventures of Paddington Bear in 97. Let's see here. Please, I know that they had some movies, actual movies, film adaptations in 2007. Studio Canal announced the film adaptation of Paddington Bear.
Amish McCall, who penned Mrs. Bean's Holiday, would write the script with Paul King, serving as co-writer and director. In 2012, the official teaser poster was released. So, yeah, about 2012. They've got some fairly new ones, and he's fairly not overly done CGI, but he's definitely been CGI'd. But everything's been CGI, dude, or AI. Yeah, you got. You see, that's the thing, you know. I mean, making that a thing, it's happened. It's going to happen. It's going to continue to happen. So, you know, what's the big deal? Just know that from, you know, whenever they created, whenever it came out to now, you're probably going to see it and go, oh, yeah, that was CGI.
Well, yeah. I mean, no, no. I mean, dude, I've watched movies now that were made back in, you know, the 80s and 70s, you know, and I'm like, oh, God, that's like, and back then, we thought that was just the cream of the crop, you know? Well, yeah, but at the same time, I mean, I still think Tron's one of the best ones out there. It's been a long time since I watched Tron. Oh, God, it's so amazing. The original. Tron Legacy's not bad. I mean, it's got Olivia Wilde in it. It's like, mm-hmm. Right. So, I mean, you can't go wrong with that. Can't go wrong with that. Nope. But. And they're coming out with another Tron, actually.
I don't know what it's going to be, how they're going to work that into the mix, but somehow they're going to. Oh. You know, Disney, I'm sure they're going to. What was the thing that Disney released here recently just fell hard on its fucking nose? Oh, that was amazing. Snow White? No, no. It's actually after Snow White. They were... What was it? There was something that... Ah, shit. What was it? I don't know. What was it? I have no clue. Neither do I? No. No. The last one was... Who had the dwarfs? Sleeping Beauty? No. No, that's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Okay, yeah. Yeah, that one. just oh that's what it was go ahead keep going that one just fucking royally tanked yeah yeah well everyone was excited about moana too or not moana too but but moana not moana lilo and stitch i was like oh no no it's it's another hawaii one lilo and stitch they did a live action lilo and stitch oh yeah stupid no and the the television the show is apparently they they were, at least giving the impression that it was going to be very.
Loyal to the original cartoon. And everything that they showed was, except for they changed the end. Because what was the, Rich, you probably have seen it. Because Lilo and Stitch is about what? It's actually, of course, it's supposed to be about family, right? I've never seen Lilo and Stitch. You've not ever said, oh, come on. You've got to watch Leo Stitch. Oh, man. I mean, I don't think I have. It doesn't ring a bell. But anyhow, it's about family because what happens is you've got a young woman who is trying to raise her sister, her younger sister. Her younger sister is kind of a wild child. Gets into everything, very curious, very precocious, things like that, and yada, yada, yada.
And the, uh, basically the child protective services shows up one more time to do an inspection and, uh, and, and Lilo has done something again. And so sister is on, basically she's on her, she's getting her third strike and she's got. She's got to get things straight, or they're going to take Lilo away from her and stuff. And they're trying to convince her. It's like, well, it's probably a good thing. So you can actually go and live a life, because what type of life is this? They're trying to convince her to give up Lilo. And then here comes Stitch, Stitch being this monster of an alien that's supposed to have this horrendous, terrible thing, being this horrible, terrible killing machine, but eventually befriends Lilo and her sister and all that.
And at the end, they kind of press it through the cartoon that Ohana means family. But in the live-action version, what they ended up doing was the big older sister, gives Lilo up to some family so she can go to college and live her life. Just basically everything that the story was supposed to be about. They're like going, oh, yeah, but that's not important. We don't want you to hang around and ruin your life because you're your sister. You know, family's not that important. Let's not worry about that. Go enjoy your life. Go get your liberal studies because college is a lot more important than you taking care of your sister.
Wow. Yeah. I mean, just, and it was, it did a really good job all the way up to that last little point. And then it wasn't like, yeah, we got to go liberal. We got to go progressive. It was like, oh my God, no, y'all were so damn close. So Disney still has yet to actually get it. They still haven't. Fully understood what their audience needs and it's not to be preached at it is not told that your your your little sister the little orphan sister that you have been that you decided you're going to take care of is nowhere near as important as your liberal education study all right that's your liberal education study going to college and living a life and going and sleeping with 35 guys getting a septum piercing and several eyebrow piercings, getting a bunch of tattoos over your face, make yourself as ugly as possible is a lot more important because that's what most of the girls these days learn is that they've got to make themselves as ugly as possible because, again, feminism is not equal access for women.
It's equal access for ugly women. And so the pretty women have to lower themselves down to the level of the ugly chicks. So, but yeah, it's, Disney, again, has just, does not get why they're fucking up. And it's sad because I have to keep, I'm holding on to it just because they still are showing the good old flicks like Tron, Black Hole. Even the Black Cauldron. But then you have to go over to, you have to do a search online. You can't actually find the full version of song of the south which is still way cool because that's a great movie it's got a great great moral and it has nothing to do with racism which is the funny thing it's nothing about racism it's all about it's all about being you know being responsible yeah but because it takes place in antebellum south it's like oh my god you can't do that well you've seen the new release on blazing saddles right what do you mean a new release yeah i got a new release on blazing saddles i don't it's all about uh it's all about 32 seconds long since it has the opening song and goes into the closing credits.
You had me for a second I was like what no they are not doing oh okay I see what you did there, the whole part that wasn't offensive yes, The opening area and then the closing credits. Can you see them making a Blazing Saddles 2? Oh, they couldn't do that. That's what I'm saying. Blazing Saddles wouldn't be made today. I think it would be fucking hilarious. Oh, it still is. It still is relevant now. It's even more relevant now than it was even back in the 70s, when it was first released. Yeah. Or 80s, early 80s. Yeah. Nope, nope. It actually came out in 70s, 74. No shit, really? Damn. We're fucking old.
I am way fucking old. I didn't realize that, I mean, I didn't realize it came out. Yeah, I didn't get to, obviously I didn't get to see it in the theaters, but it is a fucking cult classic. Oh, yeah. Where are the white women at? I didn't get a hrump out of you. Give him a hrump. Hrump. Got your sweet ass. Oh, man. Hell, I was enjoying the hell out of that damn movie. I'd go through it. I would enjoy the different scenes and wasn't even thinking while I was sweeping the birthing compartment. One day I was sitting there just, just in my own little head. And I was like, that was doing the, doing the scene where, oh, what is his, uh, character's name?
I got to pull up IMDB just so I know. Or better yet going through the toll booth. Hey, I'm going to go back and shitload of quarters. And button. Open country, either side. Yeah, they could have gone around it. The William J. Lepetimane Tollbooth. Wasn't this the next thing that asshole's going to come up with? See, there's Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens. Lyle, yeah, yeah, Lyle. Talking to Bart and Bart's friends as they're working on the railroad and stuff. And, and yes, they, you do use the, uh, use the language. And that was kind of the, one of the reasons why I got, uh, I got, uh, I got some serious looks from some of the, uh, brothers on the, uh, in the birthing at the time, because I was, I was sitting there swinging, sweeping and stuff.
And it was like, you know, when y'all were slaves, you sling, sing like birds. So come on, give me a good work song. And, you know, it's like, they were like, it's like, it's like, oh, you know, like swing low, sweet chariot, swing low, sweet chariot. No, don't, don't know that one yet. Huh? No. All right. See, no, actually it's been a while. I got it. I even still got it all, all mixed up. No, no, that's right. That's right. Cause then they break into the, into their song. So no, it was. And so you had the, the Chinese guy fall out and then doc, doc, that chink a half a day's pay for sleeping on the job.
And, uh, see, and then they have. Song that the, I get a belt out of you song was the one that just always cracked me up. So, so yeah, they were, could you imagine them making another Rocky horror picture show? Oh, they would love that. They'd probably actually, they would throw a fit if, if Tim Curry was that try to do it again. So they'd probably actually stick a real, uh, a real, uh, drag queen into the damn thing. a real Transylvania what the hell was he sweet transvestite from Transylvania haha. But that's I mean that's one that I've got my daughter into I'm still looking for around October, looking for a live playing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show so I could take her to it just make sure you bring all the props with you.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. You got to bring your squirt guns and some rice and some toast. Yep. Toast. And some toilet paper for great Scott. Got to bring the Scott toilet paper. I don't remember that part. Oh, yeah. Anytime he said, Dr. Scott. There goes the toilet paper. There's a Scott toilet tissue. Well, yeah, I get that. But the one that I went to, and the only things I remember where the squirt gun the rice and the toast those are the, remember. See, we'll draw all the call outs. Let's see here. Virgin's guide to the Rocky war picture show call outs. So yeah, let's see here. And so starts off Tim Curry is the criminologist narrator.
When, anytime you see the narrator. Yeah. Anytime you haven't seen the narrator come on, the audience is supposed to, yeah, he's got no fucking neck. And uh see and then uh janet uh see that uh that'll be a janet i'm coming with you and this you the audience is supposed to yell back that'll be a first the owner of that phone might be a beautiful woman he is, and you might never come back again you should be so lucky so and then it ends up being And the song, uh, sweet transvestite Frank, uh, and he's good for relieving my sexual tension. And cause he puts that little pause in there. Yeah.
And then, uh, I see you shiver it with antisa say it patient. So you can jump in there with that. Um, so, uh, Oh, Janet was, Oh, Brad, how's your, how do you, everybody yells out? How's your sex life, Brad? Brad replies, it's all right, Janet. Frank says when he says, well, really everybody hollers back. No, frankly, that's no way to behave on your first day out of the closet. So, uh. When first, first time you see his two, Frank's two, oh, I guess not henchmen because that's the, that's the handyman. But anyhow, the two women, the, the, the maid and, and, uh, and the scully girl, is one of the lines that I always remembered was, Hey Frank, where do you get your drugs? And he would holler out Columbia.
And what's your favorite color? Magenta. And so it was always great it was a great way it's a great it's a great experience to have and it's just one of those where yeah yet hey where's the free Shakespeare in the Park at I don't know what I'm seeing here, I am always a sucker for a Shakespeare in the Park now if it's in something I don't know where in the heck this is at though, the rich you ever seen what was the name of the movie we were just talking about Rocky Horror Rocky Horror Picture Show. Have you ever seen that, Rich? Yeah, I think I saw it once, but I don't remember it. Love that show.
Yeah, I just, I mean, I don't watch movies and remember much about any of them. I mean, maybe for a little bit. You know, I mean, some movies I've watched over and over and, you know, you know, and I know about them. But, yeah, it's not like I really remember any lines or anything. Oh, okay. Yeah, they do have an Oklahoma Shakespeare in the park. Just got myself on a little... on a, uh... on a nice little, uh, side tangent here. Love's labor's lost. So when do they start doing these? Calendar? Play, by, uh... I don't know. Sneak me at time. Go, come, come, come, come. I know the stage. Stop doors. Good fix for a garden.
Say, oh... Yep. Yep. It's all the way down to the 17th song. Dallas used to do, I don't know if Dallas, I'm sure they still do, but there was an amphitheater in Dallas. And every summer they would do Shakespeare in the Park. And they would do kind of a rotation of two or three different plays, like Midsummer Dream and Romeo and Juliet. It was another one. and I can't even remember what knows. Taming of the Shrew, I think was the third one that we had seen. But yeah, I used to love going to see Shakespeare in the park in Dallas. And hell, I hadn't even thought of doing that forever until I just saw that they had a Shakespeare in the park there and here in Oklahoma. So I don't know where.
Let's see here, map-wise. 2920 Paseo, Oklahoma City. Oh, okay. Wow. That looks like it's in the middle of a damn neighborhood. An amphitheater. No, it's not an amphitheater. Okay, that's not making a whole lot of it because it's a building and it looks like they've got a little bitty, looks like a little bitty park. So that might be where they have everybody just throw their blankets out and sit but yeah we used to do it on being in this little little uh little area and they just uh you just brought your uh your your blankets and your coolers and throughout threw everything out and you sat down you want had a good good play and ate whatever you brought with you and it's a good time inexpensive i think it even back in the early 90s when I used to go, it was maybe like $8, $9.
Yeah, they used to have something like that in Pioneer Park on the south part of Lincoln. Oh, yeah? And they had a big amphitheater. And I mean, they had the slope grounds to cover it. And they would have the concert in the park series every summer. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Those were the fun times. I said. Yeah, Pioneer Park used to be the hangout on Sundays. Oh, was it really? Oh, when I was in high school. It was about five miles from when you entered the park down to the main park area that everybody hung out at. And there was a huge statue of, I can't remember, Indian tribe leader it was, but there was, oh shit, that statue was probably about 40, 50 feet high. Oh, wow. Yeah.
But to get from the entrance of the park down to the main park body was about five miles. And on Sundays, it would easily take you an hour. to get from the end. Sounds like Caldera Canyon. When they do Texas. To get down to the main park. Yeah, to get down to the main park because that's how busy it was. Right. And don't even try to find it. If you didn't get there early, you weren't fucking finding a parking spot, period. Well, that's kind of what, like I said, that's a lot like how Caldera Canyon is. I mean, you've got, of course, you've got a switchback road that you're going down.
So it's uh it and then and some it's big enough of a change of a change for for uh for tour buses to go down a wide enough road for the tour buses to go down but there's a couple of really hard hairpin turns that they take and stuff but yeah there's there's been several times where it takes you get a little while to get down to the floor of the canyon then you got to go over to where, texas is being shown so yeah it's a it could be a be a bit of a uh of a tour to get into paladar canyon so i'd believe it for the for the park that you're talking about so yeah and now the last time i was in lincoln yeah there there was nobody in that park really that's it that's Yeah, that's where we hung out on Sundays.
Yep. Playing hacky sack and frisbee. Yep. Huh. Now, yeah. No one hangs out. No one knows how to hang out. Well, yeah, that's just it. People only hang out on their phones these days. Yep. They don't do freaking, no fucking socializing, except for on that damn phone. Yeah. That's sad, but true. Yep. Electronic, fucking cell phones and tablets is what's, killing the youth of today. I will say when I was living up north and times I went to Des Moines, because Des Moines got parks built in throughout the city, right? And believe it or not, people up there used the parks up there.
You could see people at parks all the time. Yeah. And that was during the week, let alone on weekends. Yeah. But, yeah, no, you're right. Most of them, like the park I normally go to, it's not, it's during the week, there ain't hardly anyone there. Which is fine for me because, I mean, I can go, you know, wherever I want in the park and not see another soul. Right. And, I mean, that's fine. You know, I mean, I, you know, I don't mind seeing people. But yeah, like what you were just saying, there's nobody at the park, so there's no social interaction.
Well, down here, a lot of people are all at work. So, I mean, that's, but I mean, just at that park, like the park I took you where the big boats ride across the way. I'll tell you what, man Cruising in the daytime, I mean You can sit there And within 30 minutes Oh, you'll see 100 cars come through there And it's mostly older people Out cruising I think It's cool, Yeah You know Yep, like we used to do with O Street in Lincoln, Cruise down O Street from 9th to 72nd Street turn around do it again oh yeah yeah I used to cruise during uh when I was in high school lived in Boonville Missouri I cruised up Main Street up and down there I did I do that all night yeah and Lincoln I can't.
I mean, like 2000 and no, it's like 2000, year 2000, 2005 or something like that. Lincoln banned cruising on O street. Yeah. I guess it was, you know, the kids were getting too far out of control fights and, you know, all that kind of shit. So they banned it. And if you got, if a cop saw you, you could go up once and back down. But if you got seen a third time, they pulled you over. Yeah, a lot of cities are like that now. Yeah. You can't cruise. Yeah, because they don't know how to fucking control themselves. Well, I mean, they were raised without any discipline. That's just all it is.
Yeah, Dad is exactly right, unfortunately. So, yeah, I know a lot of places are that there's no cruising allowed. But down here, we just do it during the day. I mean, why not? Exactly. It's just as much fun as night. No, it's not. No, it's not. Why? Why isn't it? What can you do at night that you can't do during the day? See everything lit up. No, it's not. Okay, I can. Okay. All right. I was kind of worried about you. I was kind of worried about if he's going to come up with something viable. But, yeah, okay. So you got a point. Because, yeah, I mean, at night, seeing towns and cities lit up like that a certain way, it just looks cool, you know?
Yeah. When I was a kid, not so much cruising. This was before I got a driver's license. But we go downtown and roller skate on the sidewalks in downtown. Yeah. That was a lot of fun. Now now uh that also has been outlawed in many cities roller skating skateboarding all that stuff and i can understand, Because they don't know how to control themselves. Well, it's not a matter of controlling themselves or not. Because most of the time, they're not actually doing anything. But, again, insurance ruins, takes the fun out of everything. Yeah. They're afraid that they're going to get sued because little Johnny goes off and tries to jump up to a rail slide and ends up busting and cracking his skull on the edge of a bin.
Well, whose fault is that? Well, in all reality, it's Johnny's. He's a dumbass who went off and tried to jump up on the bench on a skateboard. So it's his fault. But again, Johnny's parents won't see that and be, oh, well, you should have not sure that he wasn't, that he was staying safe. It's like, no, it's not the business's responsibility to make sure your son doesn't get himself hurt. That is one Johnny's responsibility. And then if he doesn't do it, then it falls upon you. Maybe, but in all reality, I don't think it even falls upon the parents. I think it's Johnny's fault.
And it shows. So yeah, he, he going to end up probably being fed through a tube for the, for the next 40 years. Yeah. Because he scrambled his brains. It's not anybody else's fault. Yeah, because we have come in to be a Sioux happy nation. Well, there is no one will own up to their mistakes anymore. They always want to blame everybody else. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So, I mean, that's just how it is. And that's not going to change either. No, it's never going to change. You're right about that well Brian looks like it's about that time yeah it is check that out so yeah it looks like it's about time to get our, little fun time of a show settled down for the night so a couple of us can go to bed and the other we can go dream about puppy dogs.
But anyhow guys I want to say thanks very much for taking the time to see what the world three that who are good friends have to say about what's happening around our world, what's happening in our lives, what's happening in each other's, commenting on each other, commenting on news and other assorted items. But probably one of the biggest things you've noticed here is that we didn't really do an ad. We didn't sit there and talk about mattresses or toothbrushes or razors or loot boxes or anything like that. We just, we just talked and the reason behind that is because of what type of system we.
To step into. And it's not a advertising model. That is because, well, as you kind of heard us talking when we were talking about the YouTube and all that, was that ads are kind of a crappy model to go on. You can, one, it is a means of punishing the poor on items that they cannot afford and one reason why i say that is because the rich are going to pay to not have the ads, if you're rich enough you're not going to pay to listen to ads so the people who can actually afford the you know the the the thousand dollar mattress isn't the guy who is trying to figure out how to make his little 400 square foot, or not even 400, 40 square foot apartment.
Hospitable, he's just, you know, he's not, he's not doing, he's not doing that. He's not going to go off and buy a thousand dollar mattress. And he's definitely doesn't have the money to go off and have those ads removed. So ads are actually a means of punishing the poor. And, oh, I'm sorry, I don't care to punish the poor. We're not here to point a finger at the poor or the rich. Both of them are allowed to come and listen equally because we are an equal opportunity podcast, if you want to call it that. We are all about the three T's of value for value.
We are about time, talent, and or treasure. And that means that if you have the time that you want to donate to the show and help get our show in order or get our show lined out, love to have you here. If you've got the talent to create art or anything like that, you can contribute that too. Or if you happen to have treasure, you happen to have the money you would like to be able to send to us to help support the show, then you can support that way. We accept support in any way possible. And that is one of the great things about this type of model is because you get to decide what the value is.
We're not standing around going, well, we think you need to start. If you'd like to help us out, you can be part of our two grumpy vets at a dude club and for seven bucks a month. No, because then I'm excluding people who only have a dollar to give. I'm excluding the people who don't even have the dollar to give, but have plenty of talent and know how to do AI so that they can create their own episodic art or chapter art or whatever it is they want to create. Wow. Who really likes the show goes, you know what? I would like to give a little bit more than that. And the way we are able to do, you're able to, to give monetarily if you want to, is thanks to the invention of the modern podcast app, because your legacy apps, honestly, they did their job, but they are, they're obsolete these days.
And yeah, that includes Spotify, that includes YouTube, that includes Apple Podcasts, that even includes one of my favorites, Overcast. But you have Pocket Casts, accepts the funding tag, Podcast Guru, True Fans, and many more that you can view by going over to Podcasts Apps. I believe that's P-O-D-C-A-S-T apps.com I believe is the or is it? Nope, it's podcasts. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. Podcastapps.com You can actually, that'll take you over to the podcast index and you can see all the different types of apps there from True Fans to Podverse to Podcast Guru, Fountain, and many, many more.
And you can actually filter through to what you want to have. You want to have apps that have the funding tag? Beautiful. You can do that. So like on Podcast Guru, you can actually go to the support this show. And when you click on it, it brings up our PayPal page. And there you're able to provide a monetary amount that you want to give. And you can decide, is it just a one-time payment? Is this something you want to give Eric once a month? It's all completely up to you. And that's the glory of what value for value is. It is what do you think the value is of the show?
It's not up to me. I don't know what you think about how much value we brought to the show. Or you may decide, you know what? You brought a lot of it. Or I didn't break any. Or, you know, what? And it's all completely up to you. You get to be the judge. Judge, you get to be the, the controller of your destiny and your future. And so if you want to be able to give some, some money to the, to the show, then please do. We'd love to have you do so. So with that, I want to say thank you very much again for, for listening to the show, sticking around, seeing what we have to say, and I'm going to pass it on over to Rich and see what he has to say. I just want to say.
You know, it's good to know that we still have listeners and everything like that. And it's, you know, oh, I think, Brian, I think you forgot to say the emails, man. Oh, I think I did, yeah.

But, yeah, I mean, thanks for listening and keep coming back from everywhere because we have listeners all over the world, believe it or not, which is still kind of cool. Three old guys just sitting here just barking and, about anything and everything, and there's people around the world that listen to us, you know, besides America. It's funny. It's awesome. So other than that, I feel sorry for those that are listening to this show for trying to get better English. That's for damn sure. We are not English majors or teachers or anything. We have our own English. So, but thanks for listening and be sure to catch us next week.
Dude what you got man you know you were just talking about English yeah we speak in bad English that's how we speak, it is the true form of broken English very broken it's so broke it is P-O-P-O broke.

Dragging each other through the mud you know it's just the way we talk and the way our friendship is so it's our love language man definitely our love language, like I said because you know I said earlier I'm sexy so that's their love language but anyway send us an email let us know what's on your mind, so alright well gentlemen appreciate it again y'all coming on and allowing me to talk with y'all and I'm glad to be able to hear that y'all are all both still doing great and all the listeners out there y'all have a great rest of the week and a safe weekend and we will catch y'all next week.

Hey man, hello, and welcome to Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude. This is a show that each week allows for three friends to get together and live life intentionally. We do this by throwing a little social commentary with our own weird sense of humor and our thoughts together to show folks that living. Music. Having weekly conversations is a good way to help each other out, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude. Dude, we're all in here in just like two seconds of each other. Well, you know I'm always going to be last because I can't host.
Well, dude, actually, you can, if you jumped on first, you would be the first host. And then it would switch when Bryan would get on. Yeah, just automatically just jump over to me, so. No, I'll be last. I'm good. I don't need to talk with any goddamn buttons. You guys are the ones that... Push the buttons. Push the buttons. You know you don't want to push the buttons. Come on, dude. It's a box. Just yours. So. So, you've got four legs running around you yet? No, tomorrow, man. Oh, tomorrow. Dang it, that's it today. Hey, Bryan. Question. Answer. You sound muffled.
Yeah. Driving home right now, so I've got the damn headset on. Oh, okay. Okay. So. I was just making sure that I knew what it was before I got all discombobulated. Right. Let's make sure I can talk directly into the mic. Oh, no, I can hear you. I can hear you just fine. It sounds like shit. Yeah, it does. I thought the conversation was over when you said question answer. I thought we were fucking done. No, the problem is, is he doesn't, he doesn't have the headset on. He's being muffled by a fucking rag with chloroform. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, I got a chick with big boobies Who's trying to kidnap me, In a daycap It's a bad thing I mean, that's why your old wife won't like it But you know, I'm war for him I'm knocked out, what can I do?
Well, you know I might not like it, but you know Then again, you just might Who knows, So, what's up with y'all since y'all are like on the ball tonight? Oh, not much. Just racing the clock. I've got, let's see here, I don't even know how much time I've actually got left. Yeah, I've got an hour and a half, and I think I'll have about 15 minutes left by the time I get to the yard. So, yeah. So, what is, I know that you're on the oil field DOT laws, but what is that for hours? Is it a 14 and 10? Yeah, it's all basically the same as normal over the road, normal DOT rules. The only two big differences are, one, 24-hour reset. I don't have to do a day and a half.
I just have to do a full 24 hours, and the whole thing resets, the cycle and all. Oh, okay. The weather is way, way cool, and I wish they would kind of set up and stick this out to all the other places. You have an extra line for waiting. And what that does is, if you are on an oil-filled location, that's the very distinct portion of it. You have to be on location doing oil-filled shit. You can get a waiting, and it stops your clock cold. So I could stop and sit there for 15 hours and my clock would not tick down anymore. Actually, if I sat there for 15 hours, I would go ahead and I'd be getting my 10-hour reset automatically.
Well, and you'd probably be getting your pink slip too. No, no. There's a lot of times before I have sat on location for 10 hours. Really? Yeah. Yeah. wire line fucks up, they dropped their gun down the well, and so you're sitting there until they get cold tubing out there to fish out the gun. Yeah, we're sitting there waiting until they get it fished out and everything hooked back up and right out of go again. Oh, okay. So yeah, there's been a few times I've had to sit on location for 10 hours. As a matter of fact, the last time I got to use it, I was, uh. Had the, had the crawl down ship that we were doing.
And by the time I got done, I had only used four hours. Oh, okay. So out of 12 hours, I used up four hours of DOT time. I still had, you know, like 30 hours left by the end of my six days. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. So it was, it's cool, but like I said, you have to be on location. Oh, okay. You're in direct violation of DOT rules. If you are sitting on the side of the road and you're waiting for a tow truck to show up, you just got to let your time run. Yeah, and see, with the new system that we had, on our old ELD system, we had a provision that, with being a 14 and 10 day with the 150 mile error rule, if you were broke down and you were fixing to run out of time, it gave you basically two hours to get back right to the home plant yeah i don't know if they've still actually got that rule specifically i know that there is the there is the.
Weather rule that uh oh yeah okay uh-huh yeah if you get caught in like you know icing uh Icing conditions or snowstorm or something like that, you've got an hour over your drive time. I think it's just an hour. It might be two hours. But you've got a little bit of over your drive time to be able to get to a safe place to stop. Yeah, okay. But you have to annotate it on your logs. Yeah, see, ours is... Yeah, I got you. But see, I don't know if our new ELD system has that feature. You use SAMSERA, don't you? Do what? You use SAMSERA as your e-log, right?
I have no freaking clue. I'd have to get back with you on that one. Unless the rules have changed, it should stay the same. Yeah, but we had a button on the old ELD that you could press to get that two hours for your log. Oh. Yeah. But the new computer or the ELD that we have, I don't know if that has that feature. I haven't looked into it. Do you have a tablet that's connected into your truck, or do you just use an app on your phone? No, it's the tablet that's in the truck. Oh, okay. It might still be Sam Serra, but I'm... So a couple, three, I mean, there's several different DLD logs.
So, yeah, unfortunately, I could not answer that question of what is the operating system that we use. Right. I just don't know. I log in, make sure that the damn thing logs me in. It took me the other day, because it's hooked onto the box basically for the internet, and it took me a half an hour before that thing finally identified that I'm trying to use the tablet. Yeah, our plan is a dead zone for that ELD system. It must be on T-Mobile, huh? Probably. I couldn't pass that one up, dude. Sorry. You what? I didn't hear it. I said it must be using T-Mobile if it's in a dead zone. Yeah, for the cell service.
That wouldn't surprise me. Wouldn't surprise me a damn bit. When it rains here, our computers at work slow down to a freaking turtle going in reverse that's crazy yeah that tells me that they don't have their lines. Sealed very well i don't know that's 15 levels above my experience i can hook the cable up to my tv that's pretty good one that's pretty easy one we, Yeah, but you don't have T-Mobile, so you TV. Or you've got a different service provider, so you TV. Yeah, I got Spectrum. You're right. So I take the cable that comes out of the wall. I hook that up. Hook it up to the box. Hook the box to the TV. I'm good.
I don't have to press any buttons. Nothing. Dude, I swear you're so scared of the buttons, man. What's up? You can't be scared of the buttons, dude. Yeah, you're never going to get a good girlfriend if you don't push the right button. Right? Yeah, I understand that. Maybe I'll win the lottery next week and, you know, don't have to worry about that shit anymore. Go find me a man cave. Go find me a man cave and, you know, I'd be happy. And you don't push them. You mash them. Do what? You mash the buttons. You don't push them. Oh, man. Oh, okay. You smash them. You have to mash them. Yeah. Okay. Well, it depends on which button. You push the wrong button. You mash the wrong button.
Your girlfriend's going to get a little pissed off at you. Well, you know, that's just. Some buttons need to be stroked. Oh, shoot. Yeah. win the lottery go buy me a stilt house in florida on the beach you and them still houses, lottery for them bitches especially down there in florida you're gonna pay for it down there, oh no i i ain't gonna i ain't gonna buy one i'm gonna build one you better win the lottery then you're right i you're right because you just go by yourself full phone of telephone, and then just go get a tiny, you know, like one of them pre-made outpies just floating down in the middle of the ocean and just.
Set the telephone poles, park your house on top of them, and you're good. And all you have to do is build the steps. True. I definitely wouldn't have any salesmen coming to my door, now would I? No. Actually, you could even do better than that. Get yourself some really long metal poles and make a platform that is just a bunch of just got little rings on the side and have the bottom of the platform all styrofoam. Set your house on top of that and as the tide and the waves go up and down you go up and down so there you go that's even better, yeah just hope you don't get a really big wave because then you might just float away yeah that's possible.
Clear the rings yeah so what's one of those houses down there in Mississippi going for about 600,000 plus yeah yeah Yeah, something like that. And then when we traveled down to where basically the road ended, I can't remember where that was, to the parking lot where the beach was at. Oh, where the steps and everything? Yeah, that's Beach Boulevard. No, this was the one that had all the stilt houses. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, okay. You said that it was Beach Boulevard? Yeah, here in Pasco. Here in Pasco, it's called B-Town, yeah. Oh, okay. So, B-Town, yeah, because a couple of those had freaking, you know, elevated swimming pools.
Yeah. Yeah. Much time i got an hour 16 see that's the thing though i don't know why you would want a swimming pool when you got the freaking gulf right there i mean makes no sense you're gonna spend all this money every month maintaining that pool and you got a big old pool right outside your front door yeah but you've got fish that have sex in it out there so you don't want to be in that water. Really? I mean, have you ever seen a shark take a dump around one of those cages before? Have you? Actually, yeah. I haven't been in a cage, but I've seen videos of sharks that go swimming by it. They let one rip.
It's the biggest green, as nastiest looking frog you ever see produced. Okay. And then it floats away. Floats around, so yeah, it kind of gets dissipated, so yeah. And floats away. So you're swimming in fish poo. Okay, what are you doing in a river? Same thing. Oh, that ain't shark poo. It don't matter. I don't care if it's a shark or bluegill. I mean, I'll still swim. I don't give a shit. Yeah, but still, a river doesn't have fish bigger than you are. You want to bet? Well, I ain't going down that deep for a channel cat to run that chance. I was going to say, some of them mud cats and them blue cats and all like that, and them freaking channels, motherfuckers got eyeballs as big as Volkswagen headlights. Yeah.
So, you know, I mean, I understand what you're saying, but still, you know, it's. I have no problem with this woman in motion. But apparently the people who have a stilted swan and pull. Yeah, they have a phobia, apparently. I want to be next to the water, but not in it. Yeah, it's one of those that just things that make you go, hmm. I'm going to have a swimming pool on the deck of a stilted house. All I have to do is go down the stairs and several steps in the ocean. It's one of those things that boggles the mind. Well, and I would be my wife has a friend. She loves everything about the water, but she won't get in it.
Except for a bath. Well, yeah, except for a bath, but she won't. When it goes to like going to, she has a, she loves being on the, on the lake. She'll go to the lake. She'll be on the boat. But as long as the boat, you know, if the boat is going to go skiing around, she won't be on the boat because there's a chance she's going to be, she's going to get wet. She will not go in the water. She will not get wet. Yeah. A river, lake, ocean, anything like that. She just wants to be seen around the water. She doesn't want to be anywhere close to the water. She doesn't want to be touched by the water. Why? Yeah.
Well, according to, and I've asked her that, because there was one time where we were trying to have her come down with us to New Brunsville when we took our New Brunsville trip. And she was like, no, no, I'm not going into the river. I wouldn't, I'm not going to do that. And I was like, why would you want to go to the river, but not get in and go to it? And she was like, cause I have curly hair. That's her whole thing. She got curly hair. And so it'd be a pain in the ass for her to have to brush her hair out. That's the excuses she gets to pluck her hair out. No, to calm. C O M E.
Oh, okay. Okay. So, yeah, I gotcha. Okay. Wow. Yeah. It's just like, okay. Yeah. But you have to do that every time you go and wash your hair. So, you know, the difference is what? It's called conditioner. Yeah. That's the only thing I can make. I hope they make a product for that. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Some people. I mean, I got hangups. Everybody's got hangups, but dad gone. Don't hang up just to defy Annie and all logic. Right. That is no lie. That's one of those where you slap your forehead, you know, kind of like in the movie, Naked Gun. Naked Gun, yeah.
Right, where you slap yourself on the forehead, and then right after that, you slap that person on the back of the head. Right. Right. Mike, are you fucking serious? Are you serious? It was a heart attack. As serious as a coronary. Nowhere near as fun. I don't know. I've never experienced one, so maybe if I ever do, I'll let you know. Oh, you did? No, I've not ever had one, no. Oh, okay. It took me to, say, what, about 37, 38 for me to actually get my first set of stitches. Oh, my God. Did you live in a bubble? No, no, no. That was you. You had the bubble. You had the protected life.
No, I just never got that. I mean, I've cut myself pretty good several times. I've got plenty of scars. It's just, that's the first time I'd had a deep enough rash. And it was because one of our dogs that we had, he got his leg caught. And caught up and I was trying to help him get loose and when I did, I pulled on the leg and hurt him and just out of instinct he clamped onto my leg and so he had a big old barrel whip in my leg and it was an interesting look and I was like going, yeah! I think I started my stitches at age five and just continue I can't tell you how many times I've been stitched Well my son and daughter Both have got Well they didn't get, Actual stitches per se They got the They got the glue, Stitches Yeah they didn't have that back in the 70s, But yeah they both have got Their eyebrow, They've got scars I think on the same eyebrow too Now that I'm thinking of it One was because, uh, my son, my son is, uh, God damn how old is he?
About three, maybe four. Um, well, back in 2000, because Alexis was, was a, uh, was a baby. It just, just, you know, fairly newborn, maybe, maybe up to, well, not quite a year. It may be close to a year. Actually. Yeah. It'd been about a year. So she was out of year, maybe just a little under. And we went to Scarborough Fair there in Waxahachie. And while there, we got an ox horn, you know, horn. So it was made out of an ox horn that you're able to blow into. And you can, you know, make, you know, make noise. But it was made out of an actual ox horn or a bull horn.
And Jaden and Alexis were fighting. And she went off and yeeted that damn thing at him and caught him right on the eye. And split it open. So we had to take him to the vet. Took him to the vet. He was a wild kid. Take him to the emergency room and get some stitches. Get some stitches and so they put him, to cut shut and then. Texas was about 11 or 12, whatever reason she would like to sleep on the couch, couldn't get her to sleep in the bedroom. And then one night, uh, she rolled off the couch and banged her head against the, uh, the glass coffee table and split her eyebrow.
So that one night, there we go. They threw her eyebrows shut. Yeah. I started my days when they still use fishing line as a, for stitches are pretty much the fishing line. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. It was like 72 years. I had my first set at five years old and then just continued from there. Kept getting them. Yep. That's all right. It's one of those. I avoid pain. I try to avoid pain as much as possible. So, yeah. Oh, so do I, because I'm allergic to it. Trust me. I avoid. Well, apparently not. If you kept getting stitches, I'd look at it and go, you know what? That looks like that probably would hurt.
And the two times I did something and it hurt, I was like going, oh. Stupid. That was stupid. Oh, God. It was instantly. But you know what? I never, ever again did that same action. That same action. It was a learning curve. You know, each curve was different. Well, each curve was different. That was a problem. It wasn't the same curve. So i conquered one curve but you know once you get down the curve and go you know that straight line there comes another curve there's another curve oh damn it so it was like you know it was never the same curve yep don't hit a curve straight on because then you fly over your handlebars all right i've done that too yeah yeah i've done that don't try to take your bicycle go across the cattle guard that doesn't always work out either you hit those pipes wrong all of a sudden your handlebars go sideways and off you go yeah and you know what really sucks about that is then you bend a rim, times you will. Yeah. Then you got to walk back home with a damn bent taco rim. Yeah.
And explain why you need a new rim. And then if it's in the budget in six months, you'll get a new rim. Yeah. Luckily I never taco to rim, but yeah, I did. Cause I was, I was going, I thought I had it smart. I was smart enough. I was going slow. Yeah. Just barely was able to keep my, uh, my balance on the on the bike, but then it, I happened to hit just funny and that thing yoinked over to a turn and down the bike went forward and off to the side. And on my back and again was that. A BMX bike or was that one of those with the ape hangers and the banana seat? No, no, no. It was, actually it was, It was before the mountain bikes came out, but it was a big, 21-inch wheel, BMX-style bike. It was that style.
It didn't have a three-speed or anything. It didn't have a transmission of any type. It was just the speed that you wanted to go, but it was bigger than a BMX bike was. It was closer to the size of a, uh, of a, of a mountain bike. Oh, okay. Gotcha. So, yeah, I wrote that, put that bike all the way over here and back. Yeah. I did the same thing. Started out with a banana seat with ape hangers. Yeah. Yeah. My first bike, my very first bike was a, was a healthy bicycle with banana seat. So. I think the only time y'all see those now is in a museum. So yeah i rode that thing until i was pretty much too big of course well i had it for a long time i was always been a bit of a late bloomer when it comes to the big advances and stuff so i didn't actually start losing teeth until i was like eight or nine years old which you know when you're five at six years old when all your friends are losing teeth, it's like, oh, what the hell, man? That's not cool.
I don't want to lose my teeth. I don't want to make money. No, I had to wait until... So, it was... I didn't actually learn to ride a bicycle until I was about six or seven. You know, most of the kids on the block were on a bike, and I was about two, three years after everybody else went. That kind of sucks. Ah, yeah. But once I learned by a damn, I was perpetually grounded off that bike. So. Yeah. I know that feeling. Yeah, there was, I think it was the fifth or sixth grade. Yeah, that was the shittiest summer of my life because I was grounded from my bike the whole damn summer.
I can tell you what I did wrong, but, you know, all I know is I was pissed off of my sister because she basically did the same damn thing I did. And she got, she was grounded off of for a week. And I think the difference between the two was that that was her first offense. And this was like my 37th offense. So probably like I'd gone off and probably was late coming, coming home or something like that. And my youngest sister, that was her first time being late. So, but that's the only thing I could figure. That was probably the big difference between the two, But my little, my little mind thought, oh, God damn, that's not fair.
I didn't get to ride my bike at all that summer. But yeah. I never got that punished or that much of a punishment. But anytime you couldn't ride your bike, that just, those days just sucked. Oh yeah. I had to walk everywhere. Of course I got around to where I got, I was okay with walking. And I quickly realized it's like, yeah, well, the best way to, uh, to get back in parents is not let the punishment bother you. And so, yeah, I'd get, I'd get grounded and I'd be like, oh, well, if that's how you want to do it, then, you know, that's, that's how you, that's how you want to do it. I'll just, that's fine.
I'll just walk. And so there's times after I got, after I got my, uh, my car, I'd get grounded off the maverick and i'd be like oh you know sweet i don't know it means i don't have to take my sister to school now so so don't be punished for uh for my for my punishment so i also meant that i was at school at 6 30 in the morning because i was if i hung around too long and waited too long at the at the house then uh that mom would probably just take the uh take uh her car take girls in her car and be like, for fucking hell, I don't want to have to do that because then I have to walk back to the house.
I go back to the house and then walk to school and then I'm late and I don't want to be late. There's a couple of times where about 6.30, almost 7 o'clock and I'll be like, I didn't zip out of the back and I was only two blocks out of town. High school was two blocks away. Elementary tree was two blocks away. So it's not going to kill them to walk. She didn't think it was going to. And yeah, they, they complained and bitch moaned and groan and threw a fit. Eventually I'd get the car back and I'd get the driver for about a month and I'd go off and see my girlfriend and be late coming home. And I'd be driving off of it. Yeah.
So that's the same car though, that would go off and tattle on me. If I tried to sneak in late, because anytime I got home, if I drove over 55 miles an hour, moment I, if I stopped, turn the car off, it backfire. So, so one, I got in trouble for speeding because there was still 55 mile an hour speed limit. And, uh, and two, it fire after, you know, after 10, 10 30 or whatever, whatever the, uh, the curfew was at that time, which is usually about 10 o'clock. So, yeah, I think mine was 10 o'clock on a school night and it was midnight or one on the weekends. Oh, no, no.
It was 10 o'clock on the weekends, and I didn't go out on weeknights. Well, I didn't go out on weeknights for the most part. But that was our curfew. Yeah. My brother's curfew. I just wouldn't ask for permission to go out to back to school nights. So it wasn't worth the hassle, in my opinion. So, yeah, go on my broom, turn on whichever, whatever tune, uh, at the moment was, uh, popular and less did, uh, until my, until, did we lose Brian? My sister discovered it. I discovered the song. Yeah, well, you're up there for about 15 seconds. Well, darn it. It's a lacquer. I tell you.
I was talking the whole time. Yeah, your headset is cutting in and out. Really? I've got four bars. What's going on here? You'll stop and then come back. I don't know if it's your wired Bluetooth aspect. I don't know. I don't know. That's, uh, hmm. Or if it's. Oh, yeah. I'm looking at the, uh, the, the post captioning and yeah, I see where it stops. Cause it was like, oh yeah. And then, okay. Now we'll start talking again. So, well, that's what happens when you, you know, you're still at work and get to do those wonderful things. Yeah. If I was still at work, guess what?
I wouldn't be having this conversation anyway with my company. I'm not confused. Yeah, we cannot use wireless headset, nothing. But that's okay. Don't bother me a bit. Just all these other morons that are freaking semi-drivers going down the road just texting away, running off the side of the road and it's like, you know, dude, you're an idiot. We can't have the phone in our hand. So that's the big thing. You can't have the phone in your hand and be seen on the camera. Yeah, the same way with us. But in turn, we can't have any type of wireless system either. We can't have any wireless distractions.
Now I have my phone positioned to where I can see it, but the camera can't. Gonna ask so what do you how do you what do you listen to your music on or do you just listen oh god i have radio well oh you know i i can i'm sure i can get you in on uh over here at gordon ishington but you know what here's the good thing from belton to abilene i got five stations, that play my style of music. Well, but you've got commercials on all five of those stations that play your kind of music. Shit, I have commercials on freaking... What the fuck is that? What the hell is that?
IHeartRadio? No, well, that too, and YouTube. Oh, yeah, but you can fill up... If you go off and you spend like $12 for Spotify or Apple, since you've got an angel you'd be Spotify, you don't get commercials you can still listen to music you won't listen to no commercials you can even listen to actual podcasts YouTube and get the same thing. 10 or is it 10 for 10 for YouTube premium yeah. But again that's I'm almost tempted to do that god damn those commercials are annoying as hell, yeah especially well and like i'll have mine on for the music and uh in the jeep and after every fucking song it's worse than the damn radio yeah song is a commercial oh you ought to try to try the shows that have gone off and allowed monetization and they're like 15 minute uh episodes 15 minute videos it's like every two and a half three minutes, commercials two commercials it's like mother fucker you're wearing me out here yeah you're right, yeah I get watching some stuff on YouTube that is you know I may have to do that I'll get at least twice where it stops and get commercials, so yeah Spotify 12 hours won't have to worry about it won't get commercials and yeah.
I might have to consider that if YouTube is $10. Yeah, YouTube likes to think they are the number one podcasting app on the internet. Oh! You all didn't catch any of the Time Magazine's Top 100 Most Influential Podcasts? Guess who's not there we aren't, but neither and this is where a lot of people are like I'm not pushing on this guess who also, isn't on there don't know Joe Graham gets not on there who is not one of the top 100 most influential podcasts, Phil Vaughn apparently is not considered one of the most influential podcasters out there both of those shows had the, president of the United States on there and they think that that was probably one of the biggest reasons why he was as influential as he was but yeah we have just some stupid ass damn shows and I don't think they're making it down But at the same time, I'm just like, I'm sitting there looking at what the heck it's like.
Man, you're coming in some bad Chinese salary. And I'm down to two bars. Yeah, you're coming in some bad Chinese salary. Did you hear that, Rich? Nope, I did not. Oh, okay. I came through nice for Rich, but not nice for Ron, huh? No, you didn't come through nice for me. I didn't hear a word you said, dude. Oh, okay. So I was silent. See, well, that just goes to show you. That just goes to show Ron likes me more. He heard more of what I said than you did. Well, that's up for debate. That is definitely up for debate. But that's a debate for another time.
So who beat him out? Cookie Monster? Hold up real quick. I'm down in a hole. Uh, just about right. There we go. Yeah. I don't know if I would have said that, but you went, I'm down in a hole. I don't mind. I'm in a hole. Just cause you're just, make sure you come up for air then. Or just hit the skinny pedal. Yeah. We've got the 100 best podcasts of all time. I don't think they're actually in order of most influential at least. What's showing up here is Tito Queens. So I don't know. I've not ever heard of this. It's Unfiltered Conversations. So I don't know exactly what that is. 30 for 30.
I have no idea what that one is. 99% Invisible. I have heard of that one. I listened to it a couple of times. Boring as Snot. Acquired Never heard of that one The Armchair, I've heard of Dax Shepard Never knew he had a podcast The Pools of Interest is another one Never heard of that one That is done by the meaning behind What We Were Okay, Bear Brook I don't know who that is Murad's Take on Tragedy Jake King okay yeah so a beautiful uh beautiful stories from anonymous people but they dig the big picture we have simon's podcast yeah every single one of those is like you know yep but i don't know daddy i've heard that one that's uh uh call daddy that's uh basically it's a podcast of The girl sits around all the time talking about fucking blowjobs.
It's just about the most boring thing you ever come across when it comes to her discussions and stuff. Just, yeah. And she's in the top 100 list of influencer podcasts. Yeah. The reason why is because that is about the only... She had Kamala on her show. So, yeah. Cocaine and rhinestones Yeah I could switch again I could switch, a friend. I've heard of that one. I don't know who it is. Criminal, The Daily. I've heard of The Daily. Then they got one that I actually do listen to. Dan Collins, Hardcore History. Yeah. That one is an amazing podcast.
They got Dead Eyes, Deer Shurgers, Breath, Sex, and Money, Dakota Ring, Dirty John, The Dream, The Dropout, Ear Hustle Embedded, everything is. The Ezra Klein Show I've heard of Ezra Klein But again didn't know they had a podcast Yasco Fighting in the real room Freshman Doing their guys, With Good Hang with Amy Poehler, Well that's a Disgusting damn podcast That ever was one Good Inside with Dr. Becky The Hobbitat It keeps going but you know I'm just down to the H's, well good let's go ahead and just we're good I figured you might have said that, you know I think I got the point so yeah I mean, ain't never listening to none of them yep never listened to I've listened to a couple three of them and there's only one of those that I currently listen to as of now And he hadn't put out an episode in a while, Doesn't mean anything It just means that he hadn't put out an episode in a little while, Okay But if you ever get a chance And you want a good podcast to listen to Hardcore History Is a podcast to listen to And you can turn it on And you will listen to it for pretty much Your whole, Whole day of Working Because his episodes are typically six to eight hours long.
And they're multi-part, too. Like, what was one of the ones he's done here? Three ones that I've heard here recently. Or not recently. It's been a couple years since I've listened to them. But it was Supernova in the East. It was about the Pacific Theater during World War II. And that was I mean that was like five six part series that he did on that on Japan in the war and they were six to eight hours a piece so you bet you have days of listening. And, you know, that one wouldn't be too bad for me because I like watching, I think it's on the History Channel, World War II in Color.
Yeah, World War II in Color. Very good show, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I like to watch those. So listen to that podcast. You know, you never know. Right. Yeah, Dan Carlin's way of telling stories about stuff, it's fascinating. He talks about, I forget what the actual series is called, but he talked about World War I and what it must have been like to be in that era because like Battle of the Somme and what they used to call Rolling Thunder, which was just artillery, just a line going forward, and just multiple lines of artillery, you know, scooching forward the whole time. And it was just a fascinating tale that Dan would talk about. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I know all about the Rolling Thunder. Not World War II, World War I. I think I said World War II. But yeah, World War I, whenever, yeah. Uh, first time Germany invaded, uh, France. That was both of them. I know it was both of them, but I was talking about the first time they invaded France. Yeah, because that was the Versailles Treaty that ended. Yeah, World War II. Yeah. Treaty of Versailles was, yeah, ended World War I and Hitler said, fuck you. I was like, I don't like this deal. We're going to try something different. Yeah so true so there we go and hopefully no one pays attention and speaking about wars did you guys hear that Loretta Swit passed away who?
Hot lips off of MASH oh yeah yeah she had passed away like a month ago was it a month ago or was it just a couple I thought it was a couple weeks ago it's only been a couple weeks Yeah And then Lonnie Anderson Passed away too Yeah Lonnie Anderson Passed last week Yeah, He saw that I'm like Well, And hopefully They don't bury her at sea Because she will Definitely float. Well everyone Was talking about How her hair Might be a wig Because of how, Like a WKRP How it would Just Almost look like a helmet It was perfect All the time Oh yeah It was perfect all the damn time.
Yeah, never had one hair out of place. Nope. Nope, not at all. I wonder how much hairspray she went through in her lifetime. Probably about 20, 55-gallon drums worth. Dude, she had stock in a Aquanet, man. I'm sure she did. Me, I haven't ever had to worry about that. You just got Stunky Johnson paste wax, don't you? Yeah. Yep. Pretty much. Buffing in there and shines right up. You can put a flashlight on that bald head and make it light the sky, man. Airplanes get blinded by it. Yep. And don't be standing around me when the sun is shining. That's the truth. But you know, I am sexy though. All right, you're damn.
Yeah, I'm not gonna agree with that statement. Yeah, well you can go fuck yourself too. I'm not going to agree with that, hoss. I didn't say you had to. Oh, I said you have to go fuck yourself. But you know, Hey, I don't mean terrible. So, all right, man. All right. Is it really all right? Truthfully? You've got a toupee. What? No, no, I don't have to toupee. I'm prepaid. You're prepaid. Okay. Not to pay. Prepaid. Okay. Well. For the moment since I'm out. Yeah. Yo, you. Hey, I used to rock a mullet. I used to rock a mullet in the day. Never had one of those. But today wasn't that day. That was like, yeah. 1985.
Yeah, I tried one for a short bit, and it just got out. It was nice to actually be allowed to have his touch my collar. But shortly thereafter, I was like, yeah, okay, never mind. I don't see what the... I didn't have the nerve to go it out any further. So I was just like, yeah, we're not... I'm definitely not hippie material. Yeah, mine was down to the bottom of my shoulder blades when I came in the Army. And it has never been shit longer than a quarter of an inch ever since then now if it touches my ears that drives me fucking nuts if i don't shave early enough and it touches my ears man, the the beard on my face is the longest hair i've had since high school wow it's just what i can braid on my back but you know we'll we won't talk about that but we won't talk about that, always recedes but did any radio recently there rich did i lose everybody no no no i'm not here might have lost rich huh.
Start bumping. We had to wander off the bathroom. Right. Right when we're trying to talk to him. He wanders off. I had to pee. I had to pee. I got to pee. You got to grump. Hey, when you got to go, you got to go. Absolutely. Played any radio there recently, Rich? No, I haven't. No. I haven't really. It looks like since it's getting later in the summer, the signals are getting better. I got to try it out tomorrow. I might play some tonight, though. Oh, okay. Because they're saying all the bands are supposed to be pretty good tonight. Oh, okay. So see if I can't talk around the world. Yeah.
But just the summertime in general? is just always bad yeah summertime is normally pretty rough okay and yeah it'll start it'll start picking back up because i mean i mean shoot i mean i'm not saying it's done getting hot down here but it's actually been really really nice it's been tolerable uh i was gonna say i don't know i don't know how what y'all what your temperature got up to today we hit 101 yeah Yeah, no, see, we didn't. We did. Mid to high 80s. Mid to high 80s. You know, so, yeah, it's not. Come on, snowman, you're the one of those bitches about being cold. You ain't even down where it's warm.
What? Hey, I'm not cold. I'm not cold. I'm enjoying the fucking weather, guys. I'm enjoying this shit. I was enjoying it when it was melting temperatures. You know, I mean, I did not bitch. Right. In fact, in fact, in fact, I got out and hacked up my other two edge bushes today. Oh, okay. And mowed my lawns, so I got that done. I bet you that was a lot of enjoyment. I fucking hacked that shit up them bitches. Fucking dig them up then. I want, cause they look nice once he gets finished hacking them up, you know, kind of like a fresh haircut. They look a little ugly when you first get the, get it done, but then they go in and, and, uh, I don't like them.
Oh, do you not? No, I hate hedges. The only reason why I cut them is because when I pull out of my driveway, I could not see left or right to see if traffic was coming. Why did you just get a sawzall and cut the damn things to the ground? Well, you know, I want to, but if I bend down that low, I'm not going to get back up. So, yeah, I've got a sawzall. I've got a 100-foot cord. And if you want to come cut him down, by God, dude, come on. I can't bend over for that long. Seriously. I can't either. I just bend over like that to tie my shoes. And I, I, I get all wide headed and stuff.
Yeah, no, I say I, yeah, I, uh, I mean, shit, it was bad enough. No, I just, I just, I just cut these things down to where when I pull out of my driveway, I can look left and I can look right and I can see who's coming and who's not coming. Well, man, you could have gone off and just, you know, just taking it and, uh, plunge cut into it and just cut a circle in the middle. And that way he could have looked through. No, no, I just know that would require too much effort, right? Oh, that would have been funny though. I just, I just, I just hacked everything off and then I hooked up my trailer and I backed my trailer up in the front yard and I loaded and I loaded my shit on my trailer and then drove across the yard and unloaded it.
Wisdom. You said you were thinking those bushes were hollies, so they've got the little sharp pokey leaves then, right? No, no, no, no. No, no, the small leaf holly doesn't have the pokey leaves. Oh, okay. The regular holly, yes, they do. Gotcha. So, yeah, no, I looked that up because, you know, like I said yesterday, I've got a tree that's a small leaf holly. And because when I saw the tree and saw the berries, I'm like, what the hell is this? So I asked Google and that's what Google said. Google said a buttweed. I don't know. So why didn't you ask Siri or whoever you're paying me this? I don't have, what?
Oh, oh, oh, you mean Gemini? Yeah. Well, I did. I just said Google. oh okay oh yeah so you said fuck Gemini no no hell no. No, you've got, um, the well that we were at in the, in the, uh, ditches are some, some interesting looking plants. The what now? So at the well that we're, that we're, that we're working at. All right. In the ditches along the side of the road. Okay. There are these little, almost look like orange spider whips over these patches of grass, patches of, of, of other plants. And I sat there and I looked at that. I stopped and I got a picture of the damn thing. Cause I was like, oh, okay, what the hell is this?
And well posted for us. Well, I'm, I'm, I'm, I will. Oh, okay. I was trying to look at the, what it was called. Yeah. And it's apparently is a type of water plant. D-O-D-D-E-R. But see here. No wrong button. Bring that one up. And bring that up in chat right there. Photos. We have got one, two, three, four. And the fifth one is kind of the, kind of shows you what the, uh, what the, the, uh, kind of shows you what I'm seeing. You'll see little orange splotches over on the side of the ditch and it's called a daughter, but apparently it's a parasitic plant of some sort, but I have not ever seen these damn things before.
And I just, I thought it was, I didn't know if maybe the, uh, body snatchers actually started trying to, uh, invade and just a bunch of them landed on the side of the, uh, on the side of the road and didn't make it into somebody's, uh, make it into somebody's house like they were needing to. Saying, I ain't going to lie. Neither are. Yeah. Looks more like a viney. Yeah, it's kind of a viney looking thing, but it's, like I said, it's just, it's odd. Because, I mean, I've not ever seen them before, and I mean, they're just spread out on top of the other plants.
Yeah, I see that. And at first I was like going, what the hell type of orange spider web is that? I'm going to find out it's not an orange planter whip somehow, they're unique that's for sure yeah I've never seen and once I got the name Donnard I was like alright well let's see what plant identifier I think is what it's called, plant net yeah plant net and see what plant net came up with, and they called it a buckwheat daughter. Buckwheat. Not a buckwheat. Wrong little rascal. Alfalfa daughter. Well, it is parasitic. Yeah. It is. Going for domination of that little patch of plants.
Yeah. It's hungry. Well, yeah, so was the other plant going. Man, I don't know. I don't think I've got a daughter. I keep eating and keep losing weight. I don't have that problem. I don't either. Opposite on me yeah no i've got i don't i don't i don't have any major contests coming up till uh we'll see october i think okay so well it's a winter time is when the northern hemisphere has all the contests isn't it oh no oh no they're they're going year-round worldwide, oh yeah yeah yeah it don't matter they run them and sometimes it's good for propagation and sometimes it's not i'm gonna say it's actually that'd be a good way to up the difficulty is to do it during the summer well some do and some i mean i don't know why they they run them in the winter, but well, well, I see in the summer, everyone's out vacationing and doing that.
And then the wintertime, you know, everyone's at home. So, you know, it's best to get maximum participation, you know, so. Right. And then, you know, that's about your, your aspect and, you know, participation trophy. Right. No, I'm, I go for the win. I just don't make it. I always go for the win. He's going the distance. He's going for speed. But yeah, no, it's, uh, yeah, like I said, I just, I just looked when I got back here tonight and it's, it's showing, it's showing signals ought to be pretty good. And I need to kind of jump on and check.
Well, there you go. Just been lazy. Yeah. And we know after tomorrow, you ain't going to get much ham time anyway. Right. I'm going to be bugged you're going to be super busy yeah. Little pupper dog on the ins and outs of rich life, how to sit, stay, especially when the Jeep is moving. Well, that's when you put a body harness and a zip line across the top of the Jeep. You know, actually, this dog is so short, I don't think she can jump that high. Oh, she can. I don't know. Well, she can jump out. I've seen little short-legged dogs like boxons jump into semi-trucks, so she'll be able to jump into the team.
She may not want to, so she may sit there and look at you with those eyes and go, but I can't, Dad. And you can go, okay, and pick her up and put her in there. I'll be like, no, touch your ass on up in there. I'll teach her. Yeah, a friend of mine, when he took, he had two dogs that he would always take out wheeling with him, and he got body harnesses and then real short leashes that he had attached to. I can't remember if he had it made or bought but it was a bar going across the top of his, roll cage on the back seats so that if he had the doors off you know the dogs could get just enough to get to the edge but it wouldn't allow him to go any further yeah oh come on now that's what, My granddad used to, of course, he wouldn't do it on purpose.
Of course, my granddad was, he was old school. His dog's name was Dog. And so... Dog led the ride on the back of the back of the toolbox of his pickup and there was more than one time you'd sit there and see granddad go around the corner and dog would just go shoot right off of it he'd get back up and run and jump back in the bed of the pickup before granddad even got himself, put back into fourth gear yeah I knew a guy that had two labs, he'd set his labs and he had a Ford Ranger they'd jump in the back and they'd just ride right there they wouldn't jump out nothing oh yeah, I could do that my dumb ass my dumb ass dogs sit there and I stop at the traffic light they'd both hop out want to go play, or visit and go visit everybody or go snip and pee Watson would definitely do that Watson's definitely a leg hiker, It irritates the hell out of me too.
Cause there's many times where rain will come up, something, she'll find something really interesting. And so she'll be sitting there smelling and watch her walk up there. He'll smell it for a little bit and then come along and take a leg on her head. It's like, God damn it, dog. Got this bright yellow streak on her on top of her noggin now. So she pissed at me cause I have to go off and wash her head. Like, geez, man, I'm not trying to piss you off. It's just your brother. Yeah. Siblings, they can, they can duke it out. But when the parents come along, yeah, it's a whole different, that's a whole different story.
So. Oh, I know I said this last night, but I'll repeat it again tonight for the podcast. What was it the other day? Driving down the road. What did we discuss? It was a GMC Denali. I think it was. Right. Three rows of fucking ducks on the dash. That's not that dash. Three rows. That could have been easily a good 80, 90, 100 ducks. I'm like, wow. No, thank you. The one that I got from the Jeep meet that we had at the end of July that somebody put on my handlebar or on my whatever the fuck you call that to get in a fucking vehicle. So anyway, so I just ducked another Jeep that just happened to be sitting in the Walmart parking lot.
So I think I'm going to have to grab like about six of those ducks I got from down in a, down a Jeep week and going ducks more Jeeps in a Walmart parking lot. Well, you would make your day. Oh yeah, you'd make your day a hundred percent. Now, especially if it's, you know, and the one that I happened to put the duck on was a stock Jeep, and it had maybe four ducks on the dash. I'm sure I just absolutely made that person's day. Or maybe that person just wanted four ducks. Well, you know what? They may have taken it from their door handle and put it on another Jeep. Who knows? By that time I was already probably at the house unloading the groceries who knows but yeah, but the ones that display them you know they're happy to get they're happy to get ducks the ones that don't display them well we just pass them along, to somebody that does enjoy them but that's okay we'll get a whole bunch of ducks on Richard's Jeep when I come down. I don't see how.
Whole collection just while i'm in your jeep just start pulling out of the backpack and you know get the double-sided tape and your your dash will be all kinds of ducked up, remember that i'm gonna hide them all over your jeep so everywhere you look you find one find one here find one there find one here yeah but as soon as i find it just that's the longer richie jeep Put it in the handle. Put it in all the door handles. Put three of them per door handle on your Jeep. That would be fucking hilarious. I was going to say, I've only got two doors, man. Right. Now you got three. You got three. Well, yeah, okay.
All right, technically, oh my God. Got to get technical here. Yeah, we're going to get technical. God dang. Because I could wedge a couple of them in there as well. What if I don't have my doors on now? What are you going to do then? I'll wedge them in your drill. No, I got double-sided tape in my toolbox in the back. I'll just tape that, and you know what? You'll have all kinds of ducts on your stinger bumper. You know what? I got Gorilla Glue. I'll put them all over your bumpers. And I'll even take the ones that I have. because I haven't mailed them to the kids yet. You've got the stock bumpers, don't you?
Who, me? No, you don't. No, I got a stinger on the front. Oh, yeah. Now, the back is the stock, but not the front. Yeah. He has 200 ducks stuck to his bumper. That's all right. I got a grinding wheel. Meow, meow, meow. That would definitely fuck up the finish on that stinger bumper, though. But, you know, I could always get some more car paint or what's that stuff that they use for the bedlining stuff. Yeah. And just repaint it. Right. No big deal. Or just leave it the fuck alone and say, you know, it was when I went out wheeling. What was that? I just jumped out of the trees.
Actually I've seen a guy who has a he actually had it done to his pickup but, do that to a Jeep would be just as almost just as awesome but had, rhinoskin bed liner done to his whole pickup I've seen that on Jeeps and pickups I was like no I don't have to worry about scratching shit, yeah no I got a couple of friends that had their whole fucking Body of their Jeep is freaking bedlining. Colored bedlining at that. Because you can order custom colors for that bedliner shit. Yep, you can. She got done doing that Jeep. I'm like, you know what? More power to you. But yeah, there's a whole, I'd say there's probably about five, six Jeeps within all the clubs I'm in.
Yeah, bed liners on the whole body. Yeah, it takes about seven rattle cans is all it takes. Wow. Yeah, seriously, ask Matt. He'll tell you. I'm not lying. He's Donny. I've watched him do it. I mean, that sounds like something Matt would do. Right? But yeah. What did he do? it. Paint it is deep with bed liner paint. Say it with Prylon. Is that his current one or the previous one? Previous one. Yeah, that was all rattle can. The base coat was a bed liner paint. Oh, okay. What did he do, roll on the bed liner and then rattle can spray on pocket? No, no. No, he spray painted the bed liner paint on, and then the other colors he spray painted them on.
Oh, okay. It was all rattle can, dude. Oh, okay. I didn't know that they had the bed liner in a rattle can. Oh, hell yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, I've never researched it either, but. But yeah, it's, I mean, I watched, I mean, it's not hard. I can't spray with a spray can, so I knew I wasn't going to try it. Handle things now that you can use to put on the top of a spray can and, you know, spray out the paint. Yeah, I'm still not that good. My thing is I tend to stay in one spot too long. Oh, okay. Well, that just means it's better protected, especially if you're doing down by the bottom of the doors.
Yeah, but there's long streaks. It runs. Nah. Trying to chase a run in spray paint? Yeah, that's a lesson in fetal right there. Ain't that the truth? You know, I mean, I've tried that. I've tried to chase a run. That didn't work out so well. It never does. No, it just, yeah, that don't work. No, it doesn't. Yeah, you're right. It doesn't. Yeah. Neighbor just bought a he's got what is it a chevy 3500 with a i don't know what that big diesel is in that truck but it gets like instead of miles to the gallon gallons to the mile type aspect so he bought himself just a beater truck to get past you know get to and from work because it's Well, from here, my house to Fort Hood, the back entrance is like, oh, 18 miles, 20 miles.
So basically 50 miles a day, just two and some work. So he bought himself a beater, an old Nissan two-door extended cab pickup, and it's blue. And he, last weekend, decided to paint his rims gold, his mirrors gold, and the truck is blue. So it doesn't look too awfully bad. But yeah, both of his mirrors, yeah, you can see the runs of where he stayed too long with the paint. Not on just one mirror, but on both of them. Hey, a matching set, man. You're right exactly a matching set you know i'll have to mention that to him you know he has screwed up on the first one so he had to make the other one match.
Yeah pretty much the struggle is real man i get it yeah so but that's his unique, you know going to work pickup says it's going to save him probably a. Several thousand dollars a year in gas by getting this truck to go to work at. Probably. What did they use this other truck for? Navigate. Just sits in the driveway. Weekend, now his nice truck is basically the weekend going places truck if they go anyplace. Oh, okay. But his wife has a Jeep. It's not the Wagoneer. Let me guess. It's a Renegade. No, it's not the Renegade. What, Patriot? No. What was the shitbox's name? Cherokee. Cherokee, that's it. I believe that's the version she has, the newer one.
So it's a two-wheel drive. My Cherokee was four-wheel drive, but mine was older too. Yeah, hers is within the 2020 years. Oh, okay. So yeah, it was probably a two-wheel drive then. Oh, yeah, it is. I've looked. Okay. Because I asked her when we're going to go out wheeling. It's like I don't think that's gonna happen like why not it's Jeep well I don't even know if I have four-wheel drive so I looked up underneath this like nope you only got two wheel drive two-wheel drive so yeah we ain't gonna go wheeling well, You can go wheeling in a two-wheel drive. It depends on where you go as to if you make it or not. Well, yeah, that's true.
Take the baby routes and not the big boy routes. Yeah. But I did look on the side and it doesn't have any trail-rated badges on it. I think those are just freaking stupid. well getting that trail rated badge on on a vehicle that was that that wouldn't be too funny to go off and have some trail rated badges slapped on on the side of a out of a stock jeep, well they do yeah i bet you they do i bet you they do but you know it looks like they had gone went off tech like black bear road or black bear trail yeah black yeah black house yeah Yeah, but yeah, stock Jeeps, you know, some of them have the trail-rated badges.
You know what? Trail-rated badges still look like they're still being used as mall crawlers. Of course, yeah, you know. All Jeep Wranglers made are trail-rated. They have been since 1941, okay? Now, your Cherokees, your Grand Wagoneers, your Wagoneers. Oh, what's the little bitty freaking the compasses? Yeah. Yeah, or the freaking renegades. And even they even have some of the renegades that they put trail rated badges on. Now, I would never take a renegade on a freaking trail. I mean, good God. A turtle has more height clearance than them things. Yeah. You know? But, you know, it's, it's, I don't know, some of the stuff they say, oh yeah, it can go on a trail.
Yeah. What? A half of a gravel road. A jogging trail is not a trail. Yeah. That just, yeah. No, I saw one, I saw a compass the other day and I wanted to, if I, if I wasn't in the truck, I would have gotten a picture of it just because of how absurd it was. Because again, the weird, you know, she had ducks on her, on her, uh, on her dash. And it was a chick that was driving it and it was like, you know, like metallic blue or whatever. And I saw that and I was going, yeah, technically you're a Jeep, but you're not a Jeep. You're technically you have the jeep name on on your on the nose of your car of the vehicle but you're not a fucking jeep i'm not a jeep person even i know that.
And did she have three rows of ducks stacked on her dash no but she didn't have she had some of the little bitty one little ones she had some of the bigger ones about the size that you actually would have in a bathtub. Oh my God. I was just like going, geez, what a, what a jump out in front of her, make her stop, reach in there, take all those off. Look, you don't deserve those. Fuck you thinking, chick? Get caught. Well. Get a real freaking Jeep, and then you can have these back. Come see me. Well, that's like the Volkswagen bug I've seen come up on my Facebook feed that has semi-stack pipes. Now, that's cool, though. That would be cool. That's heavily modified vehicles.
Those are awesome. But no, to go off in that. Go ahead. Go ahead. it also had the five clearance lights on the top and that would be cool yeah yeah well if it comes back up around again I'll send it to y'all, yeah it was yeah it was cool it would never be anything I would do, no no it wouldn't be anything I would do either but I tell you what some of those rat rods that I see come across my Facebook feed them are fucking cool pool. Them what? Oh, the rat rods? Yeah, rat rods. Yeah, just wait. You're gonna see them all over the place down here. Knocked over. Maybe. You're gonna, oh my god, you're gonna see all kinds of shit. I'm sure I will.
Actually, I can't wait, you know. Yeah, one day I'll have one again. One day. But Today is not that day And tomorrow is not looking much better Well, that says you have to have it right now Well, it would be nice to have it right now Well, yeah, it would be But, you know, today is just not your day Today is not my day Nope But that doesn't mean that one day That's right That's right, one day. There's a, there's a so-called new strain of the flu, AKA COVID. I'd say that there's a new strain of COVID. I know that China right now is wicked out because they've got Chaga's disease going, going running rampant.
Well, there was a Chaga. It is, it's present here in the U S but you only get it from when kissing bugs bite you. They're usually the carriers of, of child disease, but anyhow, what it does is it causes severe pain in your joints. Oh, well. Yeah. So from what I, from remember it, right. Or they call it, or that might be just how they describe it, but I thought they called it something along the lines of like shattered glass. It feels like shattered glass being stuck in your joints. Ooh. Yeah. Stupid, painful. And apparently that's going through, going around and they've got like 7,000 cases of it in one part of China, which no, my luck probably got a, uh, got some type of, uh, of, of viral labs next to it.
Well I'm sure yeah you know and that's kind of interesting that yeah a new strain of flu is now called or associated with COVID. Yeah well that's like you'll never why is the common cold not common, because COVID is the common cold it just means the name of it and that's all it is no one knows it as the common cold or the flu anymore it's all known as COVID yeah and if you look at the symptoms it's the same thing as I'm in cold or the flu okay and yeah but they'll like a hundred and ninety eight. Of the cold virus, so you'll never catch any two. You'll never catch all of them in your lifetime. No. And when you get vaccinated, you're not even vaccinated for the current one. Yeah, that's correct.
You're vaccinated for last year's version of the flu. Mm-hmm. Yep. But, yeah, it's called XFG, X-ray Fox Golf. That's the new strain that it has hit America and all like that. But, yeah, whatever. It's the flu. Right. I read the article, and that's just like, yeah. They listed the symptoms. I'm like, yeah, that's a cold. You know, and I never got COVID during the pandemic. I never did. No, I didn't either. But half the plant did. I say that's a thing they caught the flu like like they probably do every year, uh you know i don't know because i haven't caught the flu for like the last time it kicked my motherfucking ass i was out for a week i think that was about seven years ago and yeah i couldn't even fucking hardly get out of bed for seven days.
It's been, it's been, it's been quite a while since, since been knocked on my ass like that. And I did not enjoy it one bit. No. Oh, I was not at all. Not at all. Yeah. It kind of like sucked. I start calling you the Grinch. Okay, that's nothing new. I mean, I've probably branched out for the last, I don't know, 20, 30 years. So that's nothing new. No, I was going to say 100 years, but you know, okay. Well, we'll go with years. Well, you know what? And actually it's only been 40 years. No. Was it 40 years? Yeah. 35 years ago today is when they deployed forces to Iraq for Desert Shield.
Yeah. And I was part of the very first brigade in country. That kind of sucked. I bet it did. Yeah, it did. Because that's when the only thing that didn't have any, you know, dining facilities, nothing like that. We were in a big fucking airplane hangar for about, oh shit, three weeks. Yeah, it was all MREs. Day in, day out. That was a lot of fun. Yeah, you talking about having a hard time pooping? You see. So you're saying if you ever have a case of the severe shits, just go buy yourself a bunch of MREs and proceed to eat them. Uh, yeah. They will bind you up. They will bind your ass up in a heartbeat. That shit is cement.
Um, pretty much. Pretty much. You see, I never had a problem with that. I can still shit. Man, I tell you, being out in the field for a couple weeks eating MREs, yeah. Coming home? Yeah, I could, but that motherfucker was a goddamn Lincoln log. Rick, Lincoln log. Hey, whichever way it came, it came, dude. I was happy. Yeah. I was happy, too, after that one. I was like, God damn. He was a singing. See, I never had a problem pooping. MREs are not. I never had a problem. Well, aren't you just the fucking special one? Yes, I am, by God. Don't you forget. You weren't just special.
You are special. I don't understand why there is no. You are special. Special ed, maybe. special ed special k you know you take your pick either way you had to get your helmet on to ride the little yellow bus there we go sorry i'm turning on the the roadcaster so i'm getting myself all set up here for last you know hour and 15 of the of the show. Hotel with you well i'm not i'm in a trailer house now, well why don't you just bachelor too hey man yeah i am i have got a dedicated room and i have actually got the company man's operations room oh so i have got i mean but i have to share a bathroom with one of the other, other guys that said that's here, but you know, we, you know, that's one of the guys just, he doesn't, uh, he, he actually lives like 10 miles down the road. So he's like, Oh, I ain't never gonna sleep here.
And so, so that's. I actually have a bathroom in my room, but, but same time I have got a, a desk that hits all four corners or all four walls, three of the four walls in this room. Yeah. So I've got like desk room for, for days. I just got to go off and get myself a, uh, a chair that I can bring in here. So for the time being, I have to take my bed and scoot you around to, to, to fit places that I'm at. Oh, well, that sounds like a lot of fun. Me. Me, myself, and I, if I'm running 12-hour shifts, let's see, I'll be 12 hours on, an hour unwinding, 10 hours asleep or trying to get to sleep, and then an hour getting ready the next day.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry myself about a damn chair, Well, you know, sometimes it's just nice Sometimes it's just nice to sit in a chair, dude Well, yeah, you're right I got my ass propped in a chair right now My recliner Where my ass usually hangs out at When I'm at home, Watching your court TV, And why did Brian come on twice? Because I throw myself in front of a loop hold up I sound drunk yeah you do dude. Okay that's got to take it no I've still got my voice in the air so hold up hold up hold up yeah you definitely sound like you're in a barrel just shut down the phone alright. Let's see let's come on twice is he, Now, let's get the other earpiece in.
Yeah. And can I hear y'all now? I don't know. Oh, yeah, I can. All right. I don't know if you can. Let me turn the volume up just a little bit for the Bluetooth. I will tell you right now, your audio sounds a lot. Shit done better, doesn't it? Oh, God dang, dude. That's my man. I mean, I was like, whatever. We'll deal with it. But that's one of the reasons why I was trying to get myself over to, over here to the, uh, to the, to the trailer as quick as I can. But same time, I was just like, no, no, no, it's so good. It just, it just, you just sounds a lot better when you have.
Yeah, I got it. Yeah, I got it. I'm yeah. Yeah, no life. Basically, the trailer just got like small kitchenette and two rooms and a bathroom type setup. Um, it's, uh, yeah, it's got, it's not, it's not a small kitchenette. It's a full size kitchen. So is it like a full size home? Yeah, it's a full size trailer house. Oh, okay. So, so yeah, it's, uh, got a three bedroom, technically two bath, but they turn. One closet into a. Bathroom, and I just noticed that I've got little nightlights underneath the cabinets here. Ain't that cool? Of course, like I said, this used to be for the company man.
He would have all his computers. This was his operating room, so he's supposed to have all his computers and well-monitoring equipment all stashed up. So. Gotcha. But yeah. Dude, I'd be spreading out in that thing then. Say again? I'd be spreading out in that thing. Oh, I do my darndest. The only issue that you have is you don't want to get too spread out because you have a cleaning lady that comes in from time to time. And it just gets a little embarrassing for her to have to come in and pick up after me like I'm a damn five-year-old or something. So, hey, if that's what she gets paid to do, I mean, I wouldn't be nasty or nothing, but I ain't go for it, right?
You know, I mean, I mean, I got to pick up after myself, but, you know, I don't care. It's like, fuck it. You know, that's like, that's like hotel rooms. I don't, I don't leave them trash, but you know, I, you know, I, I mean, I, I take all my stuff, put it by the trash can or whatnot. I don't know why, but I always half-ass make my bed. Oh yeah. You know, cause that's just me. Cause I make my bed every morning, but you know, yeah. In a hotel room. No, I don't, I don't worry about it too much. Yeah. My bed dude really really gotta at least make your bed man uncle sam is gonna cry now that he knows that right i mean well he he can cry he can go cry a fucking river for all i care.
Why why make my bed i understand it's the because you accomplished one thing above all else that day You're right. You're right. That, that is the first accomplishment of a day. That is correct. I accomplished something else first. Well, I do too. I usually like to go poop before I make my bed, but I'm here. I make my, I just, it's not a, it's not by military standards, by any stretch of the imagination. It's just me taking blankets and throwing them back over and just kind of smooth them out a little bit. But, but no, I mean, a quarter is no, is not going to bounce by, uh, by any sense of grandeur.
Yeah. Or any stance of any standards. Exactly. Yeah. Oh no, same, no, same here. But you know, I, you know, I, you know, my sheets and blankets, I, I make them smooth and make them look nice. Right. Just in, just in case. I mean, I know it's a girly coming by to say hi. No, anybody really. I mean, you know, someone comes by, at least my bed is going to be made. The rest of the house could look like shit, but my bed is going to be made. It's weird. I know. No, I try and keep the house in decent shape. I got my kitchen or my dining room table. This guy. It. Yeah. Well, your dining room table, that, well, your dining room table is like my dining room table. It's just a total clusterfuck.
Yep. It sure is. And I've never seen your dining room table, but I'll take your word for it. It pretty much looks like yours. Okay. Well, I don't feel bad then. Oh no, don't feel bad. It's normal. I mean, one day I will get around to getting it back you know straight again but you know but that day is not today nope and tomorrow's not looking good either. And on the weekend right I don't do that on the weekends man that's it I'm out, I was gonna say you should be doing a whole bunch of shit on the weekends no I go do my piano lessons on the weekends And I'm pretty much good.
Well, you could go fly your drone. Well, yeah, I need, yeah. Yeah, no, I just, yeah. And, and since, and, and since I'm going to have a puppy now, you know, I don't, I don't know about this whole walking thing. It'll do. Good and that's what you say but you know what trade me please hey i walk i walk a great dane and a and a dipshit so you can now granted i haven't walked i walk them whenever i'm home and. And here the last well last time i was here i didn't because it kept getting up into the 90s and so i don't walk them when it's that hot just because the cement gets the asphalt gets too hot for the feet yeah but but i mean hell you might start checking around and seeing if there's a dog park or is there a dog beach yeah yeah i know where i know where there's a couple of so yeah and uh you might just by keeping her on the on the uh on the on a leash for the first you know the first a bit of time while, you know, other dogs come around and sniff her to just try and kind of see how she reacts.
Because, yeah, she may in the in the high stress environment of of the dog pound, she was probably a bit on the scared side. But when she starts to come into herself a bit more, she may she may be coming, start having a great time just running around being a being a social little dog. Or you might be one of those who goes, you know, my dog doesn't need to be socialized. It's the dog social with me and doesn't need to be social with anybody else. And that's cool too. You can find that usually find a, uh, a park that has a, uh, uh, a non-used baseball field that you can let her run free in.
Well, I know of a park that's hardly ever used though. I mean, well, there you go. Just hopefully she's a, uh, tennis ball enthusiasm. Yeah, well, I have to see, that's for sure. We can hope. Yeah. Life is all about the ball. Oh, yeah. I just set a chair out in the backyard and throw a tennis ball and let it go running get it. Well, see, but then you can go get those tennis ball launchers. You know, the stick that holds a tennis ball. yeah and that way you can go out to uh like the the park or whatever and you can really yeet the shit out of that damn thing and let her go chase after it and who knows she might just had the best time in her life he might i don't know we'll find out we'll find or he might or he might toss the ball and the dog will look at and go yeah i don't fucking think so he tosses and she goes, goes his way down. You're fixing to have to go walking.
My ass, because I'm going to leave that tennis ball there. He'll be like, yep, sorry. That's not how this game is played. Yeah. Or I'll just, I'll just tie a string to it. Oh, there you go. Use a fishing pole and just cast it out there. There you go. Just get a, get a shore pole and just. Zing it out there. Right. And this way she says, no, I ain't getting it. I just sit there and reel it back in. He gets within 10 feet of her. She's like, all right, there it is. I can get it now. Like, oh no. Who knows? Maybe she's just a low energy dog and she's just like, yeah, okay. I'm just, I'm okay with just kind of wandering around the backyard a little bit.
Everything looks good here. We'll see. Yeah. You know, we'll see. I got a feeling when she calms down and realizes that, hey, everything's okay. You know, she'll, she'll, be more playful and stuff. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's going to take a little while to get climatized. Yeah. Well, I know that. But the best part about it, in her mind, is, damn, I got a forever home now. Right. And I'm sure that she'll also be thinking, damn, it's nice and quiet at night around here. Well, you see, yeah, you know, it's funny. You know when I was walking back there there was only probably three maybe four dogs that didn't bark and she was one of them right, all the rest of them were just barking you know like look at me look at me look at me you know and I mean I get it you know being at a pound and stuff like that you know oh yeah they know they know but yeah Yeah, I walked by her, and I had seen her picture on Facebook and on the website and everything like that.
She just looked and was just like, here I am. But the first thing. Probably gave you a little smile oh i don't i don't know but the first dog i i looked at he was a puppy he was maybe oh god six months old and uh and uh i mean didn't bark didn't didn't really do anything went and sat with him in their in their you know little room oh my god he was he was way rambunctious i'm like dude i mean i understand you've got a lot of energy and i'm thinking yeah that would not wear me the hell out every day yeah because. Because you can't match your inner that that puppy's energy right right i mean i mean i'm not saying i'm not saying it's a bad dog it's not you know it's just it's just you know got a lot of energy the energy level was off the charts yeah lovable dog though, well they're all lovable right and even the ones that have been trained to be mean can be brought back yeah oh yeah and see I had told Dee because Dee had messaged me texted me and I had told her I had gotten a puppy and told her what kind and everything like that.
And of course, Dee was like, well, hopefully, you know, she's not, you know, mean or nothing. And then I told her, I said, any dog, any breed can be mean. If you treat it bad or abuse it. Yeah. Yeah. Don't take care of it. I don't. And you see, just because it's a pit bull, it's not a mean dog naturally. Nope. I mean, there's a reason why Petey was a pit bull from the Little Rascals. It was for the longest time. It was the number one breed in the U.S. Yeah. There were more pit bull terriers, pit bulls that were in homes with kids. Yeah. It's just, you know, people started breeding them for fighting and for aggression. And that's where the problem really started creeping up.
Well, the thing is, the freaking media got a hold of it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah, you're right. You're right. People started bringing them for, you know, bad things and stuff like that. But then the freaking media got a hold of it. And now, you know, a lot of people are like, oh, God, it's a pit bull. It's a pit bull. No, because all of the pit bulls I have ever known have been really nice, calm, lovable, caring dogs. Yeah. And, I mean, I've known a lot of people that have pit bulls. And I've always enjoyed them because they're fun, lovable to play with. Yeah. It's the environment that they, unfortunately, get put into. That's right.
Because just like any child born, are they racist? No. No. It is developed. Yep. It is. That's exactly right. And it don't matter what color you are. And when you're born, they're, you know, I've seen some videos of kids. Kids do not care what skin color is. Don't give nay damn. No, they don't. If they click and they get along, they don't give a shit what color skin they're, what they have. This is my friend. That's right. that's it they they're not racist that's what they're yeah you're right it'll never get to that though it will never get to that, because again look at all.
The crime look at New York City Chicago look at all the black on black crime it will, go away ever well no and I mean that's just that's part of some of, man's nature but at the same time you have the ghetto mindset that has taken over a lot of of the black community that is and that's where a lot of people are getting black fatigue and it's sad to say, say that, but I mean, even black people are getting black fatigue because they are not of the ghetto mind, the ghetto mindset. They are the ghetto culture. They're of the. American mindset, the African-American mindset. Some of them will still stick with that.
They're like going, no, they're the ones who go, no, I'm not an African-American. I'm American. I'm just, I'm that, you know, they make that particular line. They won't, they won't divide. I've noticed that on TikTok, a lot of black people are saying, no, I'm not African American. I'm a fucking American. Right. And it's like, finally, you know, and, and more people need to acknowledge it. They're Americans. Their, their whole family was American, you know? Yeah. But everyone wants to, keep us fighting against each other because they can get us better yeah that's all it is you know and, Joe's it's like you know I'm not racist I hate everybody equally you know but which is not true you, present yourself as a human decent person with you know some morals ethics and values I don't give a shit what color your skin is we can sit down and have a conversation all day long, but when you start throwing in the race aspect no conversation's done we ain't talking about that we'll talk about something else but it's just like you know.
I got a lot of black friends you know we can carry on a conversation for days about the same conversations that the three of us hold every week. Just about you know nothing and I don't even look at their skin. The skin is irrelevant. They just have more pigment than I do. That's it. Well, my best friend in high school was a black man. I played basketball with him. You played basketball? Yeah. Yeah, I used to play basketball, man. What was the rim set at, about four feet high? No, it was 10 foot. It was 10 foot And I did dunk it once That was the only time I ever did it But did the ball actually go in?
Yes, the ball went in Oh, okay That was going to be my next question It's like, okay Did you ever dunk one? Well, you just proved that you did Yeah, I did But you have to remember I was about half the size I am now. So so i i mean i i i didn't have a i didn't have all that weight holding me to the ground i was able to actually jump a minute yeah gravity does suck yeah but yeah no it's i mean yeah i don't i don't i don't i don't have a problem with people unless they're being dickhead Right. Yeah. Yeah. If you're going to be a dumbass, you know, no thank you. You'd be a dumbass someplace else. Right.
Absolutely. You know what I just thought of? Uh-oh. I'm going to have some of my ice cream tonight with the orange marmalade on it. With orange marmalade. Oh, my God. Orange marmalade is the best. Well, yeah, orange marmalade is good on toast, but. Didn't you just say ice cream? Yeah, I did. Vanilla. I still have some. Well, you know, I've put strawberry jam on ice cream. What's the difference? Orange marmalade? Oh my God. That just looks so good. I don't know why it just popped into my head. It's like, oh yeah, I got ice cream and I got orange marmalade. Because that's something that you can't always find in the store is orange marmalade.
No, but they come real popular about every time Paddington Bear comes out. The what? Paddington Bear. What the hell is that? Oh, bullshit, dude. You know who Paddington Bear is. Uh, I don't know. What about Paddington Bear? He liked orange marmalade. Oh, okay. Okay. I never had one of those bears. Well, I never had one either, but I know who Paddington Bear is. Unlike some uncultured swine around here. I have what you're talking about. I really don't. Oh, look it up. Paddington, just as a spell, B-A-D-D-I-N-G-T-O-N-B-E-A-R. Paddington Bath. He had the, I don't know, the plan.
Oh, okay. I see who you're talking about now. Had a corduroy coat. He's a, he's, he had it. The plaid corduroy? Oh, yep. He's the newer, he's a newer version of Winnie the Pooh, isn't he? No, actually he is, let's see here, there's a Wikipedia for Paddington. Though his name is just Paddington, the bear simply serves as a confirmed species known as Paddington Brown. For some, he first came about, and the first appearance was a bear called Paddington on October 13th of 1958. Well, that was that problem you did, because we had a problem with his book, right? I think he's just a statue of Paddington eating a marmalade sandwich in Lanchester Shire, or Lanchester.
Lancaster Square, London. That's just, yeah. He's a speckled bear. Yeah, he's a cartoon character, right? And he's from Peru. From Peru. Yeah, Origins Peru nationality is Peruvian-British. It was created by Thomas, what was his name? Thomas Michael Bond. Created by Michael Bond. Bond. James Bond. No, this is Michael Bond. Probably cousin to James Bond. Bring the anthropomorphized, pickled bear from the darkest Peru with his old hat, battered suitcase, duffel coat, and the love for marmalade sandwiches has become a classic character in British children's literature. Paddington, light, addressing people as Mr., Mrs., or Miss, but rarely by first names.
And kind-hearted, though, he inflicts hard stares on those who incur his disapproval. So, he's a very British bear. Very British. Yeah. Aristocratic bear. Just very properly mannered bear. Say, did they make movies? Oh, they made, actually, they put out some fairly recent ones. Okay, I guess I'm going to have to look them up and see if I can't watch one of the movies. Let's see here. 89, Paddington Bear in 89 is a television series, Adventures of Paddington Bear in 97. Let's see here. Please, I know that they had some movies, actual movies, film adaptations in 2007. Studio Canal announced the film adaptation of Paddington Bear.
Amish McCall, who penned Mrs. Bean's Holiday, would write the script with Paul King, serving as co-writer and director. In 2012, the official teaser poster was released. So, yeah, about 2012. They've got some fairly new ones, and he's fairly not overly done CGI, but he's definitely been CGI'd. But everything's been CGI, dude, or AI. Yeah, you got. You see, that's the thing, you know. I mean, making that a thing, it's happened. It's going to happen. It's going to continue to happen. So, you know, what's the big deal? Just know that from, you know, whenever they created, whenever it came out to now, you're probably going to see it and go, oh, yeah, that was CGI.
Well, yeah. I mean, no, no. I mean, dude, I've watched movies now that were made back in, you know, the 80s and 70s, you know, and I'm like, oh, God, that's like, and back then, we thought that was just the cream of the crop, you know? Well, yeah, but at the same time, I mean, I still think Tron's one of the best ones out there. It's been a long time since I watched Tron. Oh, God, it's so amazing. The original. Tron Legacy's not bad. I mean, it's got Olivia Wilde in it. It's like, mm-hmm. Right. So, I mean, you can't go wrong with that. Can't go wrong with that. Nope. But. And they're coming out with another Tron, actually.
I don't know what it's going to be, how they're going to work that into the mix, but somehow they're going to. Oh. You know, Disney, I'm sure they're going to. What was the thing that Disney released here recently just fell hard on its fucking nose? Oh, that was amazing. Snow White? No, no. It's actually after Snow White. They were... What was it? There was something that... Ah, shit. What was it? I don't know. What was it? I have no clue. Neither do I? No. No. The last one was... Who had the dwarfs? Sleeping Beauty? No. No, that's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Okay, yeah. Yeah, that one. just oh that's what it was go ahead keep going that one just fucking royally tanked yeah yeah well everyone was excited about moana too or not moana too but but moana not moana lilo and stitch i was like oh no no it's it's another hawaii one lilo and stitch they did a live action lilo and stitch oh yeah stupid no and the the television the show is apparently they they were, at least giving the impression that it was going to be very.
Loyal to the original cartoon. And everything that they showed was, except for they changed the end. Because what was the, Rich, you probably have seen it. Because Lilo and Stitch is about what? It's actually, of course, it's supposed to be about family, right? I've never seen Lilo and Stitch. You've not ever said, oh, come on. You've got to watch Leo Stitch. Oh, man. I mean, I don't think I have. It doesn't ring a bell. But anyhow, it's about family because what happens is you've got a young woman who is trying to raise her sister, her younger sister. Her younger sister is kind of a wild child. Gets into everything, very curious, very precocious, things like that, and yada, yada, yada.
And the, uh, basically the child protective services shows up one more time to do an inspection and, uh, and, and Lilo has done something again. And so sister is on, basically she's on her, she's getting her third strike and she's got. She's got to get things straight, or they're going to take Lilo away from her and stuff. And they're trying to convince her. It's like, well, it's probably a good thing. So you can actually go and live a life, because what type of life is this? They're trying to convince her to give up Lilo. And then here comes Stitch, Stitch being this monster of an alien that's supposed to have this horrendous, terrible thing, being this horrible, terrible killing machine, but eventually befriends Lilo and her sister and all that.
And at the end, they kind of press it through the cartoon that Ohana means family. But in the live-action version, what they ended up doing was the big older sister, gives Lilo up to some family so she can go to college and live her life. Just basically everything that the story was supposed to be about. They're like going, oh, yeah, but that's not important. We don't want you to hang around and ruin your life because you're your sister. You know, family's not that important. Let's not worry about that. Go enjoy your life. Go get your liberal studies because college is a lot more important than you taking care of your sister.
Wow. Yeah. I mean, just, and it was, it did a really good job all the way up to that last little point. And then it wasn't like, yeah, we got to go liberal. We got to go progressive. It was like, oh my God, no, y'all were so damn close. So Disney still has yet to actually get it. They still haven't. Fully understood what their audience needs and it's not to be preached at it is not told that your your your little sister the little orphan sister that you have been that you decided you're going to take care of is nowhere near as important as your liberal education study all right that's your liberal education study going to college and living a life and going and sleeping with 35 guys getting a septum piercing and several eyebrow piercings, getting a bunch of tattoos over your face, make yourself as ugly as possible is a lot more important because that's what most of the girls these days learn is that they've got to make themselves as ugly as possible because, again, feminism is not equal access for women.
It's equal access for ugly women. And so the pretty women have to lower themselves down to the level of the ugly chicks. So, but yeah, it's, Disney, again, has just, does not get why they're fucking up. And it's sad because I have to keep, I'm holding on to it just because they still are showing the good old flicks like Tron, Black Hole. Even the Black Cauldron. But then you have to go over to, you have to do a search online. You can't actually find the full version of song of the south which is still way cool because that's a great movie it's got a great great moral and it has nothing to do with racism which is the funny thing it's nothing about racism it's all about it's all about being you know being responsible yeah but because it takes place in antebellum south it's like oh my god you can't do that well you've seen the new release on blazing saddles right what do you mean a new release yeah i got a new release on blazing saddles i don't it's all about uh it's all about 32 seconds long since it has the opening song and goes into the closing credits.
You had me for a second I was like what no they are not doing oh okay I see what you did there, the whole part that wasn't offensive yes, The opening area and then the closing credits. Can you see them making a Blazing Saddles 2? Oh, they couldn't do that. That's what I'm saying. Blazing Saddles wouldn't be made today. I think it would be fucking hilarious. Oh, it still is. It still is relevant now. It's even more relevant now than it was even back in the 70s, when it was first released. Yeah. Or 80s, early 80s. Yeah. Nope, nope. It actually came out in 70s, 74. No shit, really? Damn. We're fucking old.
I am way fucking old. I didn't realize that, I mean, I didn't realize it came out. Yeah, I didn't get to, obviously I didn't get to see it in the theaters, but it is a fucking cult classic. Oh, yeah. Where are the white women at? I didn't get a hrump out of you. Give him a hrump. Hrump. Got your sweet ass. Oh, man. Hell, I was enjoying the hell out of that damn movie. I'd go through it. I would enjoy the different scenes and wasn't even thinking while I was sweeping the birthing compartment. One day I was sitting there just, just in my own little head. And I was like, that was doing the, doing the scene where, oh, what is his, uh, character's name?
I got to pull up IMDB just so I know. Or better yet going through the toll booth. Hey, I'm going to go back and shitload of quarters. And button. Open country, either side. Yeah, they could have gone around it. The William J. Lepetimane Tollbooth. Wasn't this the next thing that asshole's going to come up with? See, there's Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens. Lyle, yeah, yeah, Lyle. Talking to Bart and Bart's friends as they're working on the railroad and stuff. And, and yes, they, you do use the, uh, use the language. And that was kind of the, one of the reasons why I got, uh, I got, uh, I got some serious looks from some of the, uh, brothers on the, uh, in the birthing at the time, because I was, I was sitting there swinging, sweeping and stuff.
And it was like, you know, when y'all were slaves, you sling, sing like birds. So come on, give me a good work song. And, you know, it's like, they were like, it's like, it's like, oh, you know, like swing low, sweet chariot, swing low, sweet chariot. No, don't, don't know that one yet. Huh? No. All right. See, no, actually it's been a while. I got it. I even still got it all, all mixed up. No, no, that's right. That's right. Cause then they break into the, into their song. So no, it was. And so you had the, the Chinese guy fall out and then doc, doc, that chink a half a day's pay for sleeping on the job.
And, uh, see, and then they have. Song that the, I get a belt out of you song was the one that just always cracked me up. So, so yeah, they were, could you imagine them making another Rocky horror picture show? Oh, they would love that. They'd probably actually, they would throw a fit if, if Tim Curry was that try to do it again. So they'd probably actually stick a real, uh, a real, uh, drag queen into the damn thing. a real Transylvania what the hell was he sweet transvestite from Transylvania haha. But that's I mean that's one that I've got my daughter into I'm still looking for around October, looking for a live playing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show so I could take her to it just make sure you bring all the props with you.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. You got to bring your squirt guns and some rice and some toast. Yep. Toast. And some toilet paper for great Scott. Got to bring the Scott toilet paper. I don't remember that part. Oh, yeah. Anytime he said, Dr. Scott. There goes the toilet paper. There's a Scott toilet tissue. Well, yeah, I get that. But the one that I went to, and the only things I remember where the squirt gun the rice and the toast those are the, remember. See, we'll draw all the call outs. Let's see here. Virgin's guide to the Rocky war picture show call outs. So yeah, let's see here. And so starts off Tim Curry is the criminologist narrator.
When, anytime you see the narrator. Yeah. Anytime you haven't seen the narrator come on, the audience is supposed to, yeah, he's got no fucking neck. And uh see and then uh janet uh see that uh that'll be a janet i'm coming with you and this you the audience is supposed to yell back that'll be a first the owner of that phone might be a beautiful woman he is, and you might never come back again you should be so lucky so and then it ends up being And the song, uh, sweet transvestite Frank, uh, and he's good for relieving my sexual tension. And cause he puts that little pause in there. Yeah.
And then, uh, I see you shiver it with antisa say it patient. So you can jump in there with that. Um, so, uh, Oh, Janet was, Oh, Brad, how's your, how do you, everybody yells out? How's your sex life, Brad? Brad replies, it's all right, Janet. Frank says when he says, well, really everybody hollers back. No, frankly, that's no way to behave on your first day out of the closet. So, uh. When first, first time you see his two, Frank's two, oh, I guess not henchmen because that's the, that's the handyman. But anyhow, the two women, the, the, the maid and, and, uh, and the scully girl, is one of the lines that I always remembered was, Hey Frank, where do you get your drugs? And he would holler out Columbia.
And what's your favorite color? Magenta. And so it was always great it was a great way it's a great it's a great experience to have and it's just one of those where yeah yet hey where's the free Shakespeare in the Park at I don't know what I'm seeing here, I am always a sucker for a Shakespeare in the Park now if it's in something I don't know where in the heck this is at though, the rich you ever seen what was the name of the movie we were just talking about Rocky Horror Rocky Horror Picture Show. Have you ever seen that, Rich? Yeah, I think I saw it once, but I don't remember it. Love that show.
Yeah, I just, I mean, I don't watch movies and remember much about any of them. I mean, maybe for a little bit. You know, I mean, some movies I've watched over and over and, you know, you know, and I know about them. But, yeah, it's not like I really remember any lines or anything. Oh, okay. Yeah, they do have an Oklahoma Shakespeare in the park. Just got myself on a little... on a, uh... on a nice little, uh, side tangent here. Love's labor's lost. So when do they start doing these? Calendar? Play, by, uh... I don't know. Sneak me at time. Go, come, come, come, come. I know the stage. Stop doors. Good fix for a garden.
Say, oh... Yep. Yep. It's all the way down to the 17th song. Dallas used to do, I don't know if Dallas, I'm sure they still do, but there was an amphitheater in Dallas. And every summer they would do Shakespeare in the Park. And they would do kind of a rotation of two or three different plays, like Midsummer Dream and Romeo and Juliet. It was another one. and I can't even remember what knows. Taming of the Shrew, I think was the third one that we had seen. But yeah, I used to love going to see Shakespeare in the park in Dallas. And hell, I hadn't even thought of doing that forever until I just saw that they had a Shakespeare in the park there and here in Oklahoma. So I don't know where.
Let's see here, map-wise. 2920 Paseo, Oklahoma City. Oh, okay. Wow. That looks like it's in the middle of a damn neighborhood. An amphitheater. No, it's not an amphitheater. Okay, that's not making a whole lot of it because it's a building and it looks like they've got a little bitty, looks like a little bitty park. So that might be where they have everybody just throw their blankets out and sit but yeah we used to do it on being in this little little uh little area and they just uh you just brought your uh your your blankets and your coolers and throughout threw everything out and you sat down you want had a good good play and ate whatever you brought with you and it's a good time inexpensive i think it even back in the early 90s when I used to go, it was maybe like $8, $9.
Yeah, they used to have something like that in Pioneer Park on the south part of Lincoln. Oh, yeah? And they had a big amphitheater. And I mean, they had the slope grounds to cover it. And they would have the concert in the park series every summer. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Those were the fun times. I said. Yeah, Pioneer Park used to be the hangout on Sundays. Oh, was it really? Oh, when I was in high school. It was about five miles from when you entered the park down to the main park area that everybody hung out at. And there was a huge statue of, I can't remember, Indian tribe leader it was, but there was, oh shit, that statue was probably about 40, 50 feet high. Oh, wow. Yeah.
But to get from the entrance of the park down to the main park body was about five miles. And on Sundays, it would easily take you an hour. to get from the end. Sounds like Caldera Canyon. When they do Texas. To get down to the main park. Yeah, to get down to the main park because that's how busy it was. Right. And don't even try to find it. If you didn't get there early, you weren't fucking finding a parking spot, period. Well, that's kind of what, like I said, that's a lot like how Caldera Canyon is. I mean, you've got, of course, you've got a switchback road that you're going down.
So it's uh it and then and some it's big enough of a change of a change for for uh for tour buses to go down a wide enough road for the tour buses to go down but there's a couple of really hard hairpin turns that they take and stuff but yeah there's there's been several times where it takes you get a little while to get down to the floor of the canyon then you got to go over to where, texas is being shown so yeah it's a it could be a be a bit of a uh of a tour to get into paladar canyon so i'd believe it for the for the park that you're talking about so yeah and now the last time i was in lincoln yeah there there was nobody in that park really that's it that's Yeah, that's where we hung out on Sundays.
Yep. Playing hacky sack and frisbee. Yep. Huh. Now, yeah. No one hangs out. No one knows how to hang out. Well, yeah, that's just it. People only hang out on their phones these days. Yep. They don't do freaking, no fucking socializing, except for on that damn phone. Yeah. That's sad, but true. Yep. Electronic, fucking cell phones and tablets is what's, killing the youth of today. I will say when I was living up north and times I went to Des Moines, because Des Moines got parks built in throughout the city, right? And believe it or not, people up there used the parks up there.
You could see people at parks all the time. Yeah. And that was during the week, let alone on weekends. Yeah. But, yeah, no, you're right. Most of them, like the park I normally go to, it's not, it's during the week, there ain't hardly anyone there. Which is fine for me because, I mean, I can go, you know, wherever I want in the park and not see another soul. Right. And, I mean, that's fine. You know, I mean, I, you know, I don't mind seeing people. But yeah, like what you were just saying, there's nobody at the park, so there's no social interaction.
Well, down here, a lot of people are all at work. So, I mean, that's, but I mean, just at that park, like the park I took you where the big boats ride across the way. I'll tell you what, man Cruising in the daytime, I mean You can sit there And within 30 minutes Oh, you'll see 100 cars come through there And it's mostly older people Out cruising I think It's cool, Yeah You know Yep, like we used to do with O Street in Lincoln, Cruise down O Street from 9th to 72nd Street turn around do it again oh yeah yeah I used to cruise during uh when I was in high school lived in Boonville Missouri I cruised up Main Street up and down there I did I do that all night yeah and Lincoln I can't.
I mean, like 2000 and no, it's like 2000, year 2000, 2005 or something like that. Lincoln banned cruising on O street. Yeah. I guess it was, you know, the kids were getting too far out of control fights and, you know, all that kind of shit. So they banned it. And if you got, if a cop saw you, you could go up once and back down. But if you got seen a third time, they pulled you over. Yeah, a lot of cities are like that now. Yeah. You can't cruise. Yeah, because they don't know how to fucking control themselves. Well, I mean, they were raised without any discipline. That's just all it is.
Yeah, Dad is exactly right, unfortunately. So, yeah, I know a lot of places are that there's no cruising allowed. But down here, we just do it during the day. I mean, why not? Exactly. It's just as much fun as night. No, it's not. No, it's not. Why? Why isn't it? What can you do at night that you can't do during the day? See everything lit up. No, it's not. Okay, I can. Okay. All right. I was kind of worried about you. I was kind of worried about if he's going to come up with something viable. But, yeah, okay. So you got a point. Because, yeah, I mean, at night, seeing towns and cities lit up like that a certain way, it just looks cool, you know?
Yeah. When I was a kid, not so much cruising. This was before I got a driver's license. But we go downtown and roller skate on the sidewalks in downtown. Yeah. That was a lot of fun. Now now uh that also has been outlawed in many cities roller skating skateboarding all that stuff and i can understand, Because they don't know how to control themselves. Well, it's not a matter of controlling themselves or not. Because most of the time, they're not actually doing anything. But, again, insurance ruins, takes the fun out of everything. Yeah. They're afraid that they're going to get sued because little Johnny goes off and tries to jump up to a rail slide and ends up busting and cracking his skull on the edge of a bin.
Well, whose fault is that? Well, in all reality, it's Johnny's. He's a dumbass who went off and tried to jump up on the bench on a skateboard. So it's his fault. But again, Johnny's parents won't see that and be, oh, well, you should have not sure that he wasn't, that he was staying safe. It's like, no, it's not the business's responsibility to make sure your son doesn't get himself hurt. That is one Johnny's responsibility. And then if he doesn't do it, then it falls upon you. Maybe, but in all reality, I don't think it even falls upon the parents. I think it's Johnny's fault.
And it shows. So yeah, he, he going to end up probably being fed through a tube for the, for the next 40 years. Yeah. Because he scrambled his brains. It's not anybody else's fault. Yeah, because we have come in to be a Sioux happy nation. Well, there is no one will own up to their mistakes anymore. They always want to blame everybody else. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So, I mean, that's just how it is. And that's not going to change either. No, it's never going to change. You're right about that well Brian looks like it's about that time yeah it is check that out so yeah it looks like it's about time to get our, little fun time of a show settled down for the night so a couple of us can go to bed and the other we can go dream about puppy dogs.
But anyhow guys I want to say thanks very much for taking the time to see what the world three that who are good friends have to say about what's happening around our world, what's happening in our lives, what's happening in each other's, commenting on each other, commenting on news and other assorted items. But probably one of the biggest things you've noticed here is that we didn't really do an ad. We didn't sit there and talk about mattresses or toothbrushes or razors or loot boxes or anything like that. We just, we just talked and the reason behind that is because of what type of system we.
To step into. And it's not a advertising model. That is because, well, as you kind of heard us talking when we were talking about the YouTube and all that, was that ads are kind of a crappy model to go on. You can, one, it is a means of punishing the poor on items that they cannot afford and one reason why i say that is because the rich are going to pay to not have the ads, if you're rich enough you're not going to pay to listen to ads so the people who can actually afford the you know the the the thousand dollar mattress isn't the guy who is trying to figure out how to make his little 400 square foot, or not even 400, 40 square foot apartment.
Hospitable, he's just, you know, he's not, he's not doing, he's not doing that. He's not going to go off and buy a thousand dollar mattress. And he's definitely doesn't have the money to go off and have those ads removed. So ads are actually a means of punishing the poor. And, oh, I'm sorry, I don't care to punish the poor. We're not here to point a finger at the poor or the rich. Both of them are allowed to come and listen equally because we are an equal opportunity podcast, if you want to call it that. We are all about the three T's of value for value.
We are about time, talent, and or treasure. And that means that if you have the time that you want to donate to the show and help get our show in order or get our show lined out, love to have you here. If you've got the talent to create art or anything like that, you can contribute that too. Or if you happen to have treasure, you happen to have the money you would like to be able to send to us to help support the show, then you can support that way. We accept support in any way possible. And that is one of the great things about this type of model is because you get to decide what the value is.
We're not standing around going, well, we think you need to start. If you'd like to help us out, you can be part of our two grumpy vets at a dude club and for seven bucks a month. No, because then I'm excluding people who only have a dollar to give. I'm excluding the people who don't even have the dollar to give, but have plenty of talent and know how to do AI so that they can create their own episodic art or chapter art or whatever it is they want to create. Wow. Who really likes the show goes, you know what? I would like to give a little bit more than that. And the way we are able to do, you're able to, to give monetarily if you want to, is thanks to the invention of the modern podcast app, because your legacy apps, honestly, they did their job, but they are, they're obsolete these days.
And yeah, that includes Spotify, that includes YouTube, that includes Apple Podcasts, that even includes one of my favorites, Overcast. But you have Pocket Casts, accepts the funding tag, Podcast Guru, True Fans, and many more that you can view by going over to Podcasts Apps. I believe that's P-O-D-C-A-S-T apps.com I believe is the or is it? Nope, it's podcasts. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. Podcastapps.com You can actually, that'll take you over to the podcast index and you can see all the different types of apps there from True Fans to Podverse to Podcast Guru, Fountain, and many, many more.
And you can actually filter through to what you want to have. You want to have apps that have the funding tag? Beautiful. You can do that. So like on Podcast Guru, you can actually go to the support this show. And when you click on it, it brings up our PayPal page. And there you're able to provide a monetary amount that you want to give. And you can decide, is it just a one-time payment? Is this something you want to give Eric once a month? It's all completely up to you. And that's the glory of what value for value is. It is what do you think the value is of the show?
It's not up to me. I don't know what you think about how much value we brought to the show. Or you may decide, you know what? You brought a lot of it. Or I didn't break any. Or, you know, what? And it's all completely up to you. You get to be the judge. Judge, you get to be the, the controller of your destiny and your future. And so if you want to be able to give some, some money to the, to the show, then please do. We'd love to have you do so. So with that, I want to say thank you very much again for, for listening to the show, sticking around, seeing what we have to say, and I'm going to pass it on over to Rich and see what he has to say. I just want to say.
You know, it's good to know that we still have listeners and everything like that. And it's, you know, oh, I think, Brian, I think you forgot to say the emails, man. Oh, I think I did, yeah.

But, yeah, I mean, thanks for listening and keep coming back from everywhere because we have listeners all over the world, believe it or not, which is still kind of cool. Three old guys just sitting here just barking and, about anything and everything, and there's people around the world that listen to us, you know, besides America. It's funny. It's awesome. So other than that, I feel sorry for those that are listening to this show for trying to get better English. That's for damn sure. We are not English majors or teachers or anything. We have our own English. So, but thanks for listening and be sure to catch us next week.
Dude what you got man you know you were just talking about English yeah we speak in bad English that's how we speak, it is the true form of broken English very broken it's so broke it is P-O-P-O broke.

Dragging each other through the mud you know it's just the way we talk and the way our friendship is so it's our love language man definitely our love language, like I said because you know I said earlier I'm sexy so that's their love language but anyway send us an email let us know what's on your mind, so alright well gentlemen appreciate it again y'all coming on and allowing me to talk with y'all and I'm glad to be able to hear that y'all are all both still doing great and all the listeners out there y'all have a great rest of the week and a safe weekend and we will catch y'all next week.
