Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude, this is a show that each week allows for 3 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 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 duuuuude. Alright. So my my big word, that my or my favorite one is actually got kind of a story behind it because the my favorite big word is discombobulated. Oh, I love that. And that is just I love that word. And it's and it and it has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that my dad used this. And what he would do is he would be sitting there trying to put something together without actually having to hold it without having to glue it together, see if it all everything was fitting right.
And it would never fail. He would sit there and he'd be concentrating, holding that thing together, trying to make sure everything's all together like it's supposed to, and then something would slip and it would just kinda all of a sudden explode. And my dad would sit there and hold the pieces that were left in his hands every single time. And no matter what it was, he'd hold them in his hand, screw his face up, and then look over at me and go, it became discombobulated. And just the fact that he would do that every single time, I'm I I had I have to laugh, and that is probably my favorite word is the discombobulated because he has he's just my dad was always one of those that just, was a great, great guy. So and, yeah, always got stories about about Pa. So
[00:01:52] Rich Chelson:
Oh, that's cool. Yeah. And honestly honestly, that word discombobulated is is a good word for just about anything in in today's world. So Oh, yeah. You know, I mean but, oh, I have to give y'all an update on everything. Okay. Now, since I got home last week, like I told y'all last night, but haven't we haven't told everybody else yet. My my, ordeal is almost over.
[00:02:26] Duuude-Ron :
It is almost over. I I So it's not going to be discombobulated. It's only gonna be combobulated. Yes. Alright.
[00:02:37] Rich Chelson:
A very expensive combobulation. But, yes. And I love how you use that that those words there, dude. That was awesome. Anyway, now, I close on my house on Monday. The final walk through is at 9 AM, and, closing is at 10 am on Monday. So shortly after 10 o'clock in the morning on Monday, I will be a homeowner.
[00:03:08] Bryan Goodwin:

[00:03:18] Bryan Goodwin:
So Got a house and a mortgage living the American dream, baby.
[00:03:22] Duuude-Ron :
Like I was gonna say, you're not gonna be a homeowner because there's very few people that actually own their home.
[00:03:31] Rich Chelson:
Well, yeah. I know the bank owns it. They just ran into me every month. Yeah. Yeah. But Hey. But the but the bank does not tell me what I can and can't do with it, though.
[00:03:44] Bryan Goodwin:

[00:03:46] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Fucking HOA. Who am I telling you that right now? Fucking HOA. But, anyway, but, yeah, Yeah. I've been signing papers. There was one, report yeah. Inspection that was being done today, and I've already seen that report and signed it. So it's all good. We're just waiting on Monday now. Closing costs are gonna fucking hit me, I guess. Well, yeah.

She's like, you know, we could do an extra 2,400, which is what my, equity is with the appraisal and the price of the house. She's like, but we'd have to run it back through underwriting, all like that. And it might, might, might add, say a day or 2 to your closing. Oh, yeah. Okay. And she knew, I see, she purposely waited on this until the last minute, because she knew 3 days. Well, yeah, 3 days from closing.
I'm not gonna hold it up. I'm just gonna say, screw it, let's do it. Which I did. But it, but I, I don't know. It's just, it's just, I'm like, you know what? And, and I freaking told her this.

I think there's another girl over here trying to hit on me. Her name's Anne Marie. She's not that old, but I think she's a few years older than me. She came from Phoenix. She's citified. I'm almost sure she is.
[00:10:12] Bryan Goodwin:

[00:10:25] Rich Chelson:

[00:11:46] Bryan Goodwin:

[00:12:19] Bryan Goodwin:
AM radio test, and see if she passes. If she passes, okay. We can we can proceed to the first step.
[00:12:26] Rich Chelson:
Well, I mean, honestly, maybe maybe if I met her, like, out in public once or twice first. Yeah. It's it's like, yeah, I don't know. We'll see. Like, you see, that's the thing. It's like it's like I'm trying to concentrate on one freaking thing, and I got 12 other things trying to
[00:12:47] Bryan Goodwin:
sneak in. Yeah. You got all these damn women knocking on your door.
[00:12:52] Rich Chelson:
Hey. It's the first time I I used to this. Give me a break. Okay? This this is the first time in in in eons that I've had this.
[00:13:05] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't know how to act. I don't know how to act when I got attention, man.
[00:13:10] Rich Chelson:
What am I supposed to do? Oh, normally, people run from me. That's true. I mean Yeah. I yeah.
[00:13:20] Bryan Goodwin:
I I ain't gonna argue that one with you at all. That's only because you're you've gotten fed up with all the Iowans running around. So the mom think I'm walking up to you, you better start snarling at them. So
[00:13:33] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I yeah. I no. We ain't going there.
[00:13:38] Bryan Goodwin:
You are out of that town. You are gone, baby. Gone.
[00:13:43] Rich Chelson:
I have closed the book on that chapter, never to be reopened or reread again. Amen. I do not need it. But
[00:13:52] Duuude-Ron :
oh. Well, we're gonna we're gonna see how well your Jeep, drives your property by itself like your other one did
[00:14:02] Bryan Goodwin:
just because it worked. Oh, yeah. It just takes off on its own and rolls down into the bush. No. No. No. No. It's safe. Because I wanted to go. Mine.
[00:14:12] Rich Chelson:
I almost forgot about that, dude. Yeah. Walk out, open the door, and, yeah, my Jeep was gone. And it went up in the trees. Yeah. Well, no, at least, at least up here, my land is flat and I, and I've got a carport. So, hey, I'm in high cotton. Right?
[00:14:32] Bryan Goodwin:
I've got a freaking carport. And you're in a place that actually understands what high cotton is. Because hell, I've I've always heard in in high cotton and I I really I guess I don't fully understand it because around, you know, around southern parts of, the Texas Panhandle and the southwestern portion of of Oklahoma, you do have cotton. There are cotton farms. And, I mean, they've got a lot of cotton gins up and all over the place.
[00:15:06] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They do.
[00:15:07] Bryan Goodwin:
And it's maybe knee high to me. Right. And there's And I'm like going yeah. That about normal. So, I mean, what would high cotton be? Would that be waist high, or would that be chest high? And, I mean, would that be that would is it better because then you don't actually have bent over the pick hit, or is it you still gonna be breaking your back? Because now you gotta deal with all the barbs and stuff that down the very bottom.
[00:15:33] Rich Chelson:
No, dude. Dude, high cotton High cotton is is, living large.
[00:15:40] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I know it means living large, but what is high cotton, though? Is it is it high as in high prices? You've got a you're living in high cotton. You're making a lot of money. Or is it ice cotton as in the cotton's tall? No. No. Cotton
[00:15:55] Rich Chelson:
cotton stays about the same height. I've I've never heard of cotton going higher.
[00:16:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, okay. You know? Let's say I've never I've never seen it go higher. That's why I was always kinda Yeah. Curious. I was like, well, if it's only me, I it's not really all that damn tall, man.
[00:16:09] Rich Chelson:
But but check this out. Do you know the state of Mississippi? Cotton is not their number one product anymore. Hasn't been for decades.
[00:16:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, no. Because I was thinking, no. Virginia used to be the cash crop for for Virginia used to be tobacco.
[00:16:29] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. No. No. Mississippi North Carolina.
[00:16:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, North Carolina.
[00:16:34] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Oh, yes. South Carolina. But the thing is the thing is Mississippi's main main crop back in the day was cotton. And and, I think in the last 30 or 40 years, they've done away with the cotton in Mississippi and gone to soybeans
[00:16:50] Bryan Goodwin:
and corn. Oh, I don't know. And soybeans are so I mean, granted, soybeans are good for replenishing the ground.
[00:17:00] Rich Chelson:
Right. And make it into But
[00:17:03] Bryan Goodwin:
But to to use it for anything else, I mean, the only the only time soybeans is actually usable for humans to as a consumption, it has to be fermented first. Okay. And that is because of it has so many phytoestrogens in it that Phytoestrogens. One reason why why vegans who swear by soy, a lot of the women who eat nothing but soy this, soy that, soy soy soy soy soy soy, they end up losing their damn losing their damn period is because they've got more more estrogen in their body than what than what, than what a, what a birth control pill has.
[00:17:53] Rich Chelson:
Oh.
[00:17:54] Bryan Goodwin:
And so, no, that's I mean, for especially for guys. I mean, you guys don't need to stay as far away from soybeans and unfermented soy products. Soy sauce? Okay. It's fermented. Tofu? Okay. It's, again, been fermented. And it's so that fermentation destroys the phytoestrogens. And so it's actually safe to be be consumed.
[00:18:22] Duuude-Ron :
So you say that for a female. That's for sure. Gotcha. So as far as males, what? Your dick's gonna fall off?
[00:18:29] Bryan Goodwin:
No. But that's they're think that's a lot of the reasons why there's a severe increase in man boobage. Man boobage? Alright. And and the decrease in testosterone as a whole in society. I mean, a lot of it also is because we're not picking up and throwing heavy objects like we used to. But, also, the fact that we have so many soy based products that we're we're just kinda bathing in this in this testosterone interrupting, interrupting hormone. Oh, wow. And and women have sort have testosterone too. And the but their bodies process it differently. And that's that's one of the things that women need to be able to have any assemblance of a libido. Is when they have a a testosterone, they're going to want to have sex more often.
While if they're if they have something going on with their system where they have a decrease of estrogen and pro or an overabundance of progesterone, because I believe progesterone I can't remember exactly. So I'm sure someone there who's listening, they can shoot me shoot us a a a a boostogram letting us know how far off we are on this. If you want to, I you can but the the estrogen and the testosterone are actually what's converted into progesterone. That's what I'm thinking right.
[00:20:00] Rich Chelson:
You know you know, there's, why do you know all this about about this?
[00:20:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Just ask. I like say it. No. It's it's a completely useless bit of knowledge and does me no good, so it sticks to my head like like freaking Velcro. It's just kinda a lot comes along and goes, yep. We're gonna stick there for a while. So I was just wondering. I mean I mean, yeah, you know, some of it's okay, but but, yeah, I went and I've never heard of
[00:20:33] Rich Chelson:
progesterone or Progesterone?
[00:20:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Progesterone actually is the hormone is the primary hormone in in actual birth control. But when you have a whole bunch of estrogen, it also disrupts the, it also disrupts the the, the the a woman's cycle.
[00:20:56] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:20:58] Bryan Goodwin:
And they've so many times, they've had women who gynecologist will talk about talked about women showing up with you know, talk about how they haven't had a period in 3 years, and they're, like, 38. And, find out what their diet is, and it's, oh, it's soy this and soy that and soy all these. And then for lunch, I have some edema, which is nothing more than soybeans. And it's soy, soy, soy, soy, soy. And the doctor will go, get off the damn soy. Especially if you wanna have kids sometime down the road. It's like, but to but it's soy. Soybeans are good for you. No. Actually, they're not. They're they're actually very bad for you.
It's better to go on ahead and give a give a kid with a nut allergy peanuts than it is to have a stuff full of soybeans.
[00:21:47] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well, you know, it's yeah. I soybean is is just not my cup of tea.
[00:21:55] Bryan Goodwin:
You know what? No. I get it. A lot of people will use it.
[00:21:58] Duuude-Ron :
A nice a nice big steak. I don't know. 42 ounce steak.
[00:22:04] Rich Chelson:
Shit. I'd take a pork chop right now.
[00:22:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that's what I was gonna say is, I mean, that's what, they used to actually use, use both, peanuts and, and soybeans for. They would just grow them because they were great rotation crops. So they would actually put the nitrogen and other micronutrients back into the earth Mhmm. For the cotton, the wheat, corn, whatever.
[00:22:31] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[00:22:32] Bryan Goodwin:
And I didn't know that. They would take the buy or they take the the produce of those and give them to the hogs. Yeah. And the hogs are you know, hogs eat anything and everything, so they they didn't throw a fit about it. The they, you know, they were they were happy. And then along come old Booker t Washington who figured out that, hey. You know, peanuts are good for several other things. And, you know, all of a sudden, peanuts became a lot more valuable than just hog feed.
[00:23:01] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. Well, I mean, I do I do like peanuts. And I'm I do too. I love I love myself. It's a good peanut butter jelly sandwich because Oh my god. Crunchy peanut butter at that. No. I don't Some
[00:23:15] Bryan Goodwin:
sometimes.
[00:23:16] Rich Chelson:
No. All the time. I I don't
[00:23:18] Bryan Goodwin:
well, no. For me, it's it's sometimes, yeah, I'll I'll just have a hankering for eating. I need something with some texture so I know I'm eating it. And but but then there's times that, no, I've gotta, just to just slap on, you know, about 2 inches worth of peanut butter and a nice little layer of of jam and
[00:23:37] Rich Chelson:
go to town and But but see, I I gotta have the crunchy. I can't do the creamy. I'm sorry. I just I just cannot do the creamy. Yeah.
[00:23:48] Duuude-Ron :
You know what? I cannot choke down a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I can eat peanut butter on a spoon. I can eat jelly on toast. I can have bread, but I ain't putting that shit together. Ain't no way in hell. Oh, thank you.
[00:24:08] Bryan Goodwin:
It's just
[00:24:09] Duuude-Ron :
You y'all keep your peanut and jelly sandwiches, you enjoy the hell out of them. I ain't gonna touch 1 because I got that jam down my throat so much as a kid. I cannot choke 1 down
[00:24:23] Bryan Goodwin:
to this day. Well, it's I mean, that that I understand. Too. I mean I mean, we've Oh, yeah. No. That was that was usually lunch in in in the summertime. I'd come walking in, My stepmom would have have a couple of, couple have, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches all prepped, slapped them into my hand, sent me back out the backyard, and told me not to come back in again. So Right. If I came back in, I'd have to go take a nap. So yeah. Yeah. I there is no way you was coming back in. There's no way I'm doing that, so I stayed outside. So I got the car. No, it's so it's it's so interesting because, you know, I always talk about, you know, kids with peanut allergies.
And it is that was one of the big, you know, that was one of the the peanut allergies were or any nut allergy actually was the end disease of, what was it, 2000. Mhmm. Yeah. That That was whatever all all the soccer moms wanted their kids to have was, oh, he's got a he's got a nut allergy. It's terrible. Well, you know, but a friend of mine made a very good observation. And I have noticed that it rings still rings true. Bless you, dude. You will not find a peanut allergy in the ghetto. You know? I can't argue. And the reason why is because the soccer moms, the uppity, the the little uppity women of of the soccer mom land, were like, I am not gonna give my kid peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. That's cheap. That's, you know, that's I'm gonna give them a lunch table. You know, I'm gonna give them some highly processed, you know, chemicals that are that are formed into the shape of a of a piece of meat. But I'm not gonna I'm not about to give them a a a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You know? Something that's got a few a lot fewer chemicals in it than than, everything else.
[00:26:17] Rich Chelson:
But yet And but yet they will they will sit in line for 40 5 minutes at a fucking McDonald's to get that shit they serve.
[00:26:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Give them give them hamburgers that never decompose and and chicken nuggets that never decompose.
[00:26:33] Rich Chelson:
French fries that last 65 years.
[00:26:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly.
[00:26:37] Rich Chelson:
Like, you have. I mean, seriously, years ago, I freaking read an article. It they was they was redoing this house from, like, in the fifties and whatnot, and they pulled the drywall down and found an actual bag of and and it looked old. They they took picture of it, a small order of French fries that were still intact. The bag was still intact
[00:27:02] Bryan Goodwin:
from Yeah. I think it was actually closer to being in, like, the eighties because that's when they really kinda started changing stuff. Yeah. It might have been in the seventies, but it was still it was the in that in that time breaks when they started
[00:27:17] Rich Chelson:
I mean, think about it. 30 some odd years. I mean, shit. I've heard of people finding, freaking McDoubles in their coat pockets, you know, 3, 4 years later.
[00:27:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Seriously. You know, it's like What's this hockey? Oh, goddamn. I forgot I had bought that. I have more than a coat for 4 years. But yet the soccer moms are are scared of the peanuts. Oh, yeah. Well, they it's not that they're scared of the peanuts. They don't. They started out because what it is is kids have allergies to things that they're not exposed to.
[00:27:50] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[00:27:52] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that and the fact that allergies are also just your immune system go on go on stupid. Yeah. But but most of the kids who have allergies to dogs, cats, have allergies to dogs and cats because they're not exposed to dogs and cats when they're babies. And when I say babies, I mean, like, infant style babies. Mhmm. And so they their body doesn't know how to react when it comes into, you know, in the, gets exposed to a, to a dog to dog dander or in this cases, we're talking about peanuts. But yet, if you you expose a a kid no. No. You can't. You're not supposed to give them, give them, what is it, honey, like, for the 1st year because it's got some type of bacteria in there, which is interesting because it's it's an antibacterial substance. But still, apparently, that's one thing that your higher was supposed to give a baby your first year life is is is honey.
But, you know, peanut butter and honey was one of the first things that, that, I remember having that was mixed together, and that was always been one of my favorites. But but okay. Okay. The thing is,
[00:29:08] Rich Chelson:
on this thing with Honey and and children in the 1st year of life, how often do you know do you know how often that that it would cause a problem in in a child's life?
[00:29:20] Bryan Goodwin:
I'm not because I don't know of any because, no one will do it.
[00:29:25] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. No. But no. No. No. Reason reason I'm asking it, you know good as hell scientists have studied this and scientists have tried this theory out. I would just like to see their numbers, to be honest with you. Yeah. Because because honestly, like you said, honey is one of the most natural antibacterial things you can use. Yeah. It's antibacterial,
[00:29:50] Bryan Goodwin:
antifungal. I mean, they used it as a means of dressing.
[00:29:54] Rich Chelson:
Exactly. And it and and and inside your body, it does even more good stuff. No. No. So so so I would like to see this work by these scientists that say that it's not good for the 1st year of the infant's life because you know back before the doctors are like they are now, and I won't even get into them because that'll be a soapbox I won't get the fuck off of.
[00:30:25] Bryan Goodwin:
But, you know, back in 18, early 1900 and stuff, you know babies got fed, honey. Oh, I'm sure they probably did. And I mean and it's They got it. I I think a lot of it is the same I'm kinda with you on the they'd more likely did, several back with back before the doctors decided they knew everything. Because, I mean, it's the same as when the in the late seventies, early eighties, when all of a sudden rice was the big taboo at at weddings. You can't throw rice because you you we've heard that way. Because can't throw rice because birds eat and it expands in their stomach and it kills them. Rice is a seed. And what did they replace it with?
[00:31:11] Rich Chelson:
Bird seed.
[00:31:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Bird seed. It's seed. They replace seeds with seeds and it's rice. Okay?
[00:31:18] Duuude-Ron :
And you And you know where the best and you know where the best place to throw rice at?
[00:31:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Where? The Rocky Horror. No. The Rocky Horror Picture Show when it's a To the wedding scene. Production.
[00:31:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yes.
[00:31:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. But they ain't gonna be a bird grab. Yeah. Yeah. I got to throw throw rice and toilet paper whenever everyone's hollers great. Scott, you gotta throw Scott the brand toilet paper.
[00:31:48] Duuude-Ron :
When they did the when they did the toast, you threw the toast.
[00:31:51] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. Yep.
[00:31:53] Duuude-Ron :
Water guns for the rain.
[00:31:55] Bryan Goodwin:
For the rain. Oh, God. Yeah. And see, and this is that's that's something that my daughter I introduced my daughter to, Rocky Horror Picture Show. She thought it was an absolute riot. I mean, she's got my bizarre sense of humor anyhow. Actually, she is she woo. Talk about talk about having some, some edgy humor. That that girl has some edgy humor. But, one of the things that she wanted to watch was Rocky Horror Picture Show and for Halloween, and she wanted to have a she brought her boyfriend over, and I was like, alright. Well, y'all can watch here in the living room. No blankets over each other's laps or anything like that. Y'all can sit there. Y'all can watch. Y'all can cuddle where I can see hands and stuff like that if I can.
Show up. Let I went ahead and I bought Rocky Orpich's show on Amazon, and I turned it on, turned it on for her. And, she loved it. Her boyfriend was, like, going, dude, this is fucking weird. I was like, yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. That's what that's the whole point of it. So the guy dressed as a woman. It's like, yeah. Yeah. Now just think, if he had actually, paid attention now and nowadays, I would have been been, been more considered normal. So Right. Yeah. Right? The transsexual
[00:33:12] Duuude-Ron :
no. What was it? The Transylvania Transsexual
[00:33:17] Bryan Goodwin:
animal. He's a transvestite a cool transsexual from Transylvania.
[00:33:25] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Transsexual transvestite from Transylvania. That's how it went. Wow. Yeah. That's a lot of big words right there.
[00:33:35] Rich Chelson:
Yep. Yep. I'm not even gonna attempt them.
[00:33:38] Bryan Goodwin:
I'm just not. Good idea. But, no, that is one of my favorites favorite shows to go actually watch, when they do the, do the theatrical and the live production that, along with it where they interact with the movie. Yep. Oh, god. That is so hilarious. And do all the call outs. So
[00:34:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:34:02] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh. Hey, Frank. What's your favorite color? Magenta. Where do you get your where do you get your cocaine? Colombia.
[00:34:12] Rich Chelson:
I have a question. I was, this for some reason, this question popped into my head for you 2.
[00:34:22] Bryan Goodwin:
No.
[00:34:23] Rich Chelson:
Just just a couple hours ago. And why it did, I don't know. But but I was I was I was in the bathroom doing my business. And,
[00:34:35] Bryan Goodwin:
like, we really need to do that. Wow. I was gonna say, Ron, it's kinda sad. It's already I'm seeing that he's equates us to turds.
[00:34:44] Rich Chelson:
So No. No. But, but, I was I was sitting there thinking. It's like now now I know I know, Brian, you have a a full beard and everything and run. And dude as a goatee and As a goatee. Yeah. He as a goatee. But I was wondering, what do y'all use to shave with? Because, Brian, I do know you shave. Yeah. You know, I'm stoked. Just use a razor.
[00:35:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I I get my neck back. Use but
[00:35:13] Rich Chelson:
do you use regular shaving cream? A a gel shaving cream?
[00:35:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Shave I use gel. I use gel. I it a lot of times, I just use soap, body soap.
[00:35:26] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Okay. Now now reason I was asking is I tried some shave butter.
[00:35:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, that stuff's good. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah. It's a little expensive, my taste though. So Yes. It is. But
[00:35:40] Rich Chelson:
but no. No. It is it is a little expensive. But man, the shave I get and and and the way everything comes out, oh my lord. I'm I'm just, I'm in hot cotton again.
[00:35:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. I mean That makes your makes your face as smooth as, as baby's butt. So this is now actually the show of 1 grumpy vet, the dude, and butt face. And what face? Butt face? Butt face. Yeah. Because his butt his face is now smooth as a baby's butt, so he's a butt face. Oh, okay. So it's a butt face. Alright.
[00:36:18] Duuude-Ron :
And you know what? It goes right along with that ass hat.
[00:36:26] Rich Chelson:
Oh, shit. No. But yeah. No. It's just an app add on. There you go. No. It just, it it just I don't know why I was just the idea popped into my head and I said, you know what? I've gotta ask. I just gotta ask.
[00:36:42] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I've been wanting to get, actually get an old shaving system, you know, where you have the shaving mug that's got the soap disc in there and the badger tail that you froth it up and that and and and do that. And then try both just the safety razor, because I hear people talk about safety razors as they're just the fucking cats meow, man. I'm good at it too. And the only thing I know about safety razors, you don't play with them as a kid because they cut the fuck out of your damn fingers. So I mean I mean, you just take a razor blade and put it in the middle. I'll tell you that. They're they're not very safe for being called safety razors. They are not safe at all. So but, but then also, I've always wanted to try using just a straight razor.
I And see what that is like. I've heard a lot of people who sit there and shave themselves with straight razor turns out great. Now you don't wanna let your wife be angry and shave for you, but, you know Well well, see, when
[00:37:42] Rich Chelson:
when I go and get my haircut
[00:37:44] Bryan Goodwin:
Uh-huh.
[00:37:46] Rich Chelson:
They do they do, what is called a white wall. And on the sides, the in my neck, they'll lather it up with,
[00:37:57] Bryan Goodwin:
shaving cream. Take your sideburns off if you don't want
[00:38:00] Rich Chelson:
them. They'll flick that razor out, that straight razor. And oh my god. It's just I sit there and I just I'm I'm in heaven. And Oh, yeah. It it freaking feels so good. Oh my I I'm serious. Well, I but that's just it. I'm not a fan of how it feels because it it It it feels great.
[00:38:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I I not to me. It doesn't. It feels like it's yanking more hairs than it's doing anything, but at the same time, I'm I double shaved. I was like, sure this thing's sharp? It's like, yeah. Why is it tugging? And he's like, okay. Okay. And he he pulled it up, grabbed another one, and it was still it's not a hard you know, it's not like it's not like the missus is going crazy, Yankee pulling your hair out or anything. But it's it's just a kind of a it it there's just a little little pulse little tug there Yeah. On on on the map you neck, and it's I mean, it's I don't know if it's just because I've got weird freaking hair, which is very possible. I don't know if my hair is weird, but, you know, I have to assume.
[00:39:00] Rich Chelson:
Well, I don't know. Because because you see on mine, every once in a while, you know, I will feel a tug and all like that, you know, especially on the sides of my head and everything. Yeah. Just back here. The thing is, when I'm done, I always run my hand back there, and it's so Oh, yeah. No. It just it is the weirdest
[00:39:21] Bryan Goodwin:
smooth feeling that you ever come across. You're like, woo. Boy, you can ice skate on that shit. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. But but you see, that's the thing. Trying to take a straight razor
[00:39:32] Rich Chelson:
and me do it myself to my face, I honestly, I don't know if I could do that.
[00:39:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Well, I'm I'm not sure I could either because, you know, everything's backwards, so I'd probably be trying to adjust and end up slicing the ear off. Yeah. It's like, alright. Shit. Damn it. Honey, we gotta go to the hospital again. Yeah. Yes. I know. Mike Tyson. 3rd time this year already. Hey. Mike Tyson
[00:40:00] Rich Chelson:
and Evander Holyfield.
[00:40:02] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. That Remember that, mate? Tip the just snip the tip.
[00:40:10] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. No. But I I mean I mean, the safety razor, I've heard I've heard a lot of people like those. And, I mean, it's simple. Just buy a box of razor blades.
[00:40:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Now let's just buy a box of razor blades. You just gotta but, but Jesus Christ plan they are proud of safety razors.
[00:40:28] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. They are.
[00:40:30] Bryan Goodwin:
All razors. I mean, I'm used to the the l disposable ones, which which run about $8 to start with. And then each, you know, then if you wanna buy just the refill pack, it's, you know, $30. But so, you know, you just contribute to the filling of the landfill by just buying new, new handles over time. But
[00:40:50] Rich Chelson:
I buy the 12 packs and I pay, like, anymore about $15 for a 12 pack.
[00:40:58] Bryan Goodwin:
I've got I've discovered Walmart has their own brand and it's like $8 for, for the handle and, like, 2 2 cartridges, and then you can grab, like, a paint pack chart cartridges that are also for $8. So Really?
[00:41:15] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:41:16] Bryan Goodwin:
So there there's that too. So
[00:41:19] Rich Chelson:
But see, that's the thing. I mean, honestly, I'd probably wanna try a safety razor.
[00:41:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But, also, I mean, I I one of the cool things that I've watched on online I don't know well, I know where I I found it at, but there is a a guy that likes to do, restorations of old equipment. And here recently, he has found a whole bunch different safety razor resharpening devices. And from time to time, he'll go through and he'll restore it. And a lot of them are, like, just little whetstones that's that's turn. You sit there, you have a little you know, you set your your razor blade in the, in this little spot. Mhmm. And you turn it, and it it sharpens for a little bit, and then it goes off and it flips it over and keeps sharpening. And so it just sits there and goes back and forth. That's how you sharpen the, the safety razor. So, you know, back in, like, the 19 thirties when during the great depression, and you couldn't afford 10¢ for a box of, safety razor razor blades, you were able to go on ahead and save a little bit up. We get 5 you know, maybe a dollar, save up dollar, dollar 50, get a, safety blade sharpener.
And so that way, you could extend the use of your of your of your blades.
[00:42:43] Rich Chelson:
That would be fucking cool, honestly. Yeah. I mean, I mean, honestly, that would be really cool, you know, sharpen my own razor blades. Yeah. To, put my razor to shave. Fuck. No. I'm game.
[00:42:58] Bryan Goodwin:
And there's one. I would I honestly, I'd probably look on online. But, I mean and that's another thing with the, would like to use in a a straight razor because you've got there's a whole new set of of sharpening system, blade sharpening systems out there. And I'm sure you've seen, like, video for, the, advertisement for, like, the tumbler, which is just a round deal and it's got a, say, like, a a 300 grit, a 600 grit, a 1200 grit, and several different and, several different grip discs and maybe a honing, honing disc on there, and then you can actually strop on some, on, like, a piece piece of leather or whatever.
Right. Right. Well, I've been built But it's got a it's got a base that if you wanna do just like regular kitchen knives and stuff that goes up to standard 22 degrees. But, but the other side is usually got a lot sharper, so you can actually sharpen it, like, 18, 15, 18 degrees or whatever it is. And so whatever the angle is for, like, like, straight razors, and, there's a guy who, who goes through that's kind of his whole kick is sharpening, sharpening knives and and things, and he'll actually because he has, like, those that, that knife sharpen, scale that has a little piece of wire strung between there, and you actually see how hard you have to push down to get it to cut through this little wire.
[00:44:31] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:44:32] Bryan Goodwin:
And they the, you know, the harder you have to push down, the duller it is. And so and they usually say, like, razors are setting a little, like, around a 100, a 100, score of 100. And there's oftentimes where he when he gets finished doing the sharpening, he's cranking out, like, 52. He's like, and let's see. Oh, wow. K. We're there. And then he'll, he'll try whatever he was, sharp the reason why he sharpened his knife. So, you know, can it cut through, can it do a fall cut on, on a lemon or something? So he'll drop the lemon and watch the at first, it may just kinda hit stick, but, whenever it gets sharpened, it's actually falls and hits and goes, like, 3 corners the way through. And so it's neat. Yeah. I mean, his his his like I said, his shtick is actually really cool and effective because it's got me going, hey. I might wanna go on ahead buy one of those. It's a $119, but I'm still also wanna just get one of the get some of the, the razor stone, you know, the razor, or not razor, the, the diamond bit, sharpening stones just because I like I'd like to be able to get back in the habit of actually knowing how to make a decently sharp knife, which I haven't. I've been out of practice at math so long that, it's almost I almost have to hand in my man card, and I'm I refuse to do so.
[00:46:00] Rich Chelson:
No. No, dude. You wouldn't. No. You're fine. Yeah. I mean, it would take you, I don't know, not even a day to get back in the swing of it. I mean, I mean, to get I mean, to get efficient like you were probably, you know, maybe a couple days, but because, I mean, I I don't I don't sharpen a lot of my knife. Well, my knives, I had sharpened them back, what, last year. I slide them back in the sheath, and, I mean, yeah, I've used them. I've got one that that I use as my cutting knife in the kitchen. And Right. It's it's, actually a, a boning knife for hunting. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I mean, it's a freaking but that is my cut knife with meat and everything, vegetables, everything in the kitchen because I, I don't use the regular quote unquote what everybody else uses, you know. Yeah.
I just haven't, you know, I mean,
[00:46:58] Bryan Goodwin:
because I like these knives. I can I can Right? And and, well, my son and the reason I got really into it is because my son made a got us, last year. We've had a a collection of of knives because we've gone through, like, 3 different types of knife sets Mhmm. In the 28 years that we've been married. And so we would have it 9 times out of 10, what would happen is the knife stand itself, the knife holder itself would eventually just kinda take a shit and fall apart for whatever reason. And because they're usually, they're cheaply made. And the first set that we ever had was actually I mean, we were idiots, but they were the serrated style, so they're they're just they were shit. Once the once that went to part went to pieces, we just kept the steak knives just as a just because that was the only thing that we really wanted out of it. Right. Because you couldn't cut a straight line with and so we got our next set and, great straight straight edges and stuff like that. And it was just we used the hell out of those and and we'd sharpen them from time to time, but it wasn't anything that was really needed. And then the, the box that it that you stored the knives in was not slotted. It was actually a whole bunch of little bitty bunch of little rots that were all packed together inside of a square. So you could just stick the knives in anywhere, and it would hold. Okay. Okay. Okay. And then one day, I went, stuck a knife in there, and box went and all the, and all the and all the rods just went flying everywhere. And so we're like, okay. Well, that's done. We started keeping them in the drawer.
And, that lasts for a while. And then we got another set, and it was just kind of another crappy crappy set, but it's still I didn't I don't like serrated edges in it, except for my rate up tomato knife. That's that has to have a a serrated edge. But if you've not ever used rated tomato knives, you get one. You'll understand why you want the serrated edge on tomato knife. Yeah. No. I don't know. But
[00:49:04] Rich Chelson:
but see, the thing is, like like, I've got I've got 3 knives. They're all hunting knives Right. On my kitchen counter. Okay. And I keep all 3 of them razor sharp. So, I mean, I mean, serrated knives, they're good. And and, I mean, I've used long as you don't sharpen. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. No. No. You don't sharpen a serrated knife. Not not at all. Hey, not. But but you see, this is why this is why I've got my 3 hunting knives because I can cut anything I need to cut with the, you know, whether it's raw, cooked, undercooked, I I, you know, however it is, I I can cut it. You know? And so Especially the cheese.
Oh, dude. Dude.
[00:49:55] Bryan Goodwin:
I love Phil. Beautiful timing, though. Yeah. That was that was beautiful, but,
[00:50:04] Rich Chelson:
so yeah. It's it's I mean, you you know, and and I can understand a chef spending money on on on on good quality steel. I I I will let you know. 2 of my knives are German made in in a Soulagen. Soulagen, Germany. And, I mean, they they were made one was made in the seventies. I think the other one was made in, fifties or sixties. Okay. So so, I mean, they're they are they are high quality high quality steel. So
[00:50:39] Duuude-Ron :
but High quality range is too low.
[00:50:42] Rich Chelson:
Oh, by god. I love me some high quality h20.
[00:50:51] Bryan Goodwin:
But yeah. And but, last Christmas, my son got, some of the Japanese style, style knives. Most knives I like. They are some of my some of my favorite, favorite knives. And cool thing about them is they're set single bevel instead of being dual beveled. So you only have to worry about actually do most Japanese knives seem to be only single beveled.
[00:51:17] Rich Chelson:
And, and Japanese make make very good knives. Yeah. They make very good knives. I
[00:51:24] Bryan Goodwin:
I will not know Japanese knives at all. No. Well, I mean, these are made to look like it because they're also supposed to be looking like they're, oh, shit. What's the name of that damn steel that's got all the wavy, the the supposed to look like it's been folded, like, 10000 times? Hibiscus?
[00:51:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:51:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Son of a bitch. What's the name? So Damascus still? Damascus still. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, So it's supposed to look like that, but if you look real closely, you can see that it was actually laser etched. Someone
[00:52:02] Rich Chelson:
You know you know, if you go to Silver Dollar City, there's an old boy in there, a knife maker. You know, they got a little shop that makes knives. This old boy took, took steel and took steel ball bearings and took the file. It was a, it was a file and basically melted these steel ball bearings onto this file and, I guess, rolled it and all like that. And it looks like and it's it's actually you can see the pieces of ball bearings. So it's been worked worked into the knife. Oh, it's it was gorgeous. I mean, dude was wanting $600 for it,
[00:52:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Finney. I believe it. And, yeah, I mean I mean, it was mean, if it was if it was if it the they're ball bearings, they're they're hardened.
[00:52:49] Rich Chelson:
So Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But, yeah, he, he affords this knife and, you know, I mean, it was gorgeous. Do not get me wrong. It was gorgeous, but
[00:52:58] Bryan Goodwin:
for me, no. He's like spend no $600? No. No. No. Because
[00:53:03] Rich Chelson:
because you see, check this out. Okay. And this is and and, you know, some people like to do this, but I'm not one of these people. They like to have knives or or stuff that they sit on the shelf and look at.
[00:53:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Okay?
[00:53:19] Rich Chelson:
And and that's fine. But but the thing is with me, any knife I have, I don't want it if it's pretty because it will be used. Yeah. For every I've I've got probably, oh god, 15, 20 knives, and I'll use each and every one of them. I I I will not set one out on on a display. Right. It might be set down on the counter,
[00:53:49] Duuude-Ron :
but it'll be used Except that's samurai sword. Right?
[00:53:54] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. How freak no. He uses the samurai sword too. He that's what he uses to pick dirt dirt out of his toenails.
[00:54:01] Rich Chelson:
My god. Or or or or a slice of watermelon, dude. Slice of watermelon. Yeah. Exactly. You know? No, swords, me and swords, I, I never, I never really got along with swords. They're they're, they're cool to look at, but and and I've had samurai swords, but they just, yeah, they just don't trip my trigger.
[00:54:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Yeah. I'm you know? I'm gonna tell you. They look they look cool. I mean, I I like the all the, like going over to, like, the different nice guy stores in each and around the different towns and, and seeing what they got. I mean, they a lot of times, they got some really cool things. Nothing I would ever actually use. And I mean, that's kind of a way, like, I'm I'm still looking for and I found, I did find one. I just didn't have freaking $60 that they they want for it, but they had I found a knife that I've been looking for. And it it's a straight edge knife. Okay. Because most knives, they they go out and then they curve up. Yep.
And and I don't want a knife that has a curved blade. I want, like, on the old timer knife, you had the long pointy knife blade. You had the little short, fingernail picket blade. And then the blade that everybody used was that straight edge blade that came out and curved over on top. So it was down. Yeah. Yeah. They curved down, but the blade itself was straight across. Mhmm. Yeah. And I've been looking for something like that as just a pocket knife. Just have, you know, a little bit larger blade, you know, about the, you know, 2, 3 inches, whatever it is. Just something, of a decent size that I could use as a as a pocket knife. And I've found some that are close. I've got kind of my my my my abused knife that I the knife that I used to and abuse with has got just a very slight curve. It's not not great. It's just it's just real slight in there. And I kinda I like that one, but, still, I found like I said, I found it over at, I found one over at exit 51 on I 35 in Oklahoma.
And, or yeah. 55. Not 51. 55. That's pretty much LA, isn't it? No. Actually, Davis. Davis. Davis exit. They got the, they got the the goal, Treasure Island Casino
[00:56:32] Rich Chelson:
right there. That shit is not the Pauls Valley, though.
[00:56:36] Bryan Goodwin:
South.

I'm glad I have I have my ring. I'm I'm married. Thank you. Shut the windows, turn everything up, lock the doors.
Yeah. I remember And a lot of times, they get very insistent. I mean, they're always wanting to know, well, can I come in, sit down in in the seat? I'm like, hell no. I'm I'm sure your jaw your your your your pimp is sitting someplace around there. And if you get in, then I have to pay up, and I ain't paying shit.
[00:59:23] Rich Chelson:
I'm broke.
[00:59:25] Duuude-Ron :
Well The old foe.
[00:59:29] Rich Chelson:
Well, see this, one night, I pulled into Paul Valley, and, I mean, it wasn't too late. It was late, but it wasn't too late. And, I come right through it. There's this girl, and she is a she was on the bigger side, a little cute, though. And, I was I I was riding slow. Said pleasantly plump. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Pleasantly plump. And, I was riding in my peak, and that step's a low step. She stepped right up. She said, hey, honey. She said, I I need some help. I said, what's up? She said, mind if I sit in your, jump seat? Said, the sheriff's looking for me. I said, why? She said, well, because I'm out here, and and I'm not supposed to be.
Yeah. What the hell? I don't care. You know? And and so she gets her I stopped. She gets over in the jump seat and all like this and get parked. And, actually, her and I got to talk, just shooting the shit. You know? It was a real nice girl. And we saw the sheriff come by a couple different times, you know, looking for her and stuff like this. And Uh-huh. I don't know. It was probably an hour later or whatnot. Before she left, she, offered to pay me
[01:01:03] Bryan Goodwin:
for For services rendered.
[01:01:07] Rich Chelson:
For a letting her sit in my truck. And, I gotta say, I I mean, I didn't argue with her. I mean, you know, 54 double d's. I'm not gonna say no. No. And they were natural. They weren't fake. They were they were all natural.
[01:01:30] Bryan Goodwin:
All natural.
[01:01:33] Rich Chelson:
So yeah. But but yeah. That was and and and ever since then and what's funny, I've been back to since that time, I've I've probably been back to the Paul Valley, I'd say, maybe a total of 4 times. So and, I mean, I wasn't looking for enough. And, I mean, you know, if I saw her, I was gonna say a. But, you know, it just I don't know. Every time because I knew Davis was close around there, and they just I always think of Pauls Valley, man. Because Right. That it was No. And Pauls Valley's I mean,
[01:02:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Pauls Valley's got a really cool toy museum. I don't know if you've ever made it over to 1 over to there. Got an actual bigger museum. Cool place to go and visit stuff, but, yeah, it's
[01:02:18] Rich Chelson:
a It's a nice town. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the thing. People are nice and friendly. You know? I'm not saying it just because of that one girl. But, no, I I mean, I would stop at the truck stop in Pauls Valley, and they were always, you know, you know, nice to me and stuff like that. And it just it just seemed like a nice place to go visit. You know? So I was like, alright. And so, yeah, that's that's just one of them towns that just sticks in your head. You know, if you've ever, you know, on on my many travels in all the towns I've been in, that one there's a few others if I thought about them, but that one always stuck in my head just because.
So I don't know. It just it just you said Davis, and I automatically thought of Paul Valle because I knew it was right around there. Right now, the general vicinity. Yeah. Yeah. So but
[01:03:20] Bryan Goodwin:
so do So Ron, you ever had any wild stories about the ladies of the night?
[01:03:27] Duuude-Ron :
No. Because I'm always back home every night.
[01:03:32] Rich Chelson:
But okay. What about driving your Jeep? I mean Nope. Nope. Nope. He's like, no. Not
[01:03:42] Duuude-Ron :
that. Dude. Have never indulged
[01:03:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, don't fret that. I haven't either. I have never I have never partook in any of the, any of those types of services. Mainly because I'm I'm a lot like my dad. I was afraid that, I would wind up picking up a policeman or a policewoman.
[01:04:07] Duuude-Ron :
Oh,
[01:04:09] Bryan Goodwin:
okay. Well because my dad tells a story he used to tell a story about the time he was hanging out. He was driving down Emerald Boulevard, and, he stopped at a lot, and he said, this girl come walking up to the door, knocked on the window, and he rolled it down. And she got got talked to him, and he realized who he what he who and what he was talking to, and he was like, oh, I don't know if that was a policewoman who was trying to nab me or if that was an actual lady of the night. I but I didn't care. I took off.
[01:04:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Well, the only thing that I picked the only thing that I have picked up, and I picked it up sometime this week, and that's a nail in my front right tire of the Jeep.
[01:04:59] Rich Chelson:
Oh. Well, dude, that Yeah. That just doesn't sound like fun, man.
[01:05:05] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, the air pressure's only gone down 10 PSI. So Saturday, I'll go over and Yeah. Oh, yeah. I've had I've had it a lot lower than that wheeling. Right. And so I you know, and I got it circled. I know where the nail's at. So Saturday, I'll take it over to discount and have them plug it up for me. So Oh, yeah. Since I paid for that privilege.
[01:05:32] Rich Chelson:

[01:05:40] Bryan Goodwin:
So now it's time for so now it's time to get a lift? So he actually owns his tires. So if the if the, repo man comes, he's gotta let him have his tires, at least.

Damn it. No. Repo man's not coming. Oh, no. Yeah, dude. I'm I'm not, Yeah. I'm not sure yet. I'm not sure yet, what I'm gonna do, but, yeah, I'm, yeah, I'm thinking about a lift. I can't do lockers right now.
[01:06:11] Duuude-Ron :
Because Well, because you want you want aux lockers. Right?
[01:06:14] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I wanna yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You want mechanicals.
[01:06:18] Duuude-Ron :

[01:06:29] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I don't know. I it's it's let me pay for these closing costs on Monday. I I'm I've got kind of an idea of what I'm going to be paying, but I don't know exactly. And all I can say is fuck Prices are expensive.
[01:06:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yep. And again, you'll be back to PO, Poe.
[01:06:52] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I will. Yeah. I will. I'll be I'll be I'll be, pulling pennies out of my penny loafers just to buy a jar of peanut butter next Tuesday. So Yeah. No. It's it's yeah. Just yeah. Closing costs are gonna hit pretty hard. I mean, I mean, I won't be totally done, but I've got no furniture, so I've gotta find furniture for this house. You know?
[01:07:27] Duuude-Ron :
I mean Well, you ain't you ain't gonna need furniture. You're gonna have a freaking desk that has a 60 inch main monitor and 15 more monitors around. That's where you're always gonna be at, so why the hell get anything else? Well, good. Get yourself a good, you know, desk chair that leans back. You know, maybe electronic massage or something like that. You know, but,
[01:07:53] Rich Chelson:
you know, but as far as the rest of furniture, hell, you never gonna use it. Well, you see though, the thing is, I mean, now now I don't know how true this is, but but like, like my neighbor, Jimmy upstairs said, they'll come see me. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. And, you know, you know, people say they'll come see me, but, you know, it's been it's been my, experience that, yeah, that's just probably not gonna happen, but still, you know, I'd like a little bit of decent furniture just in case, you know. I mean, shit, for a bed? I've got, dude, I've got, like, 3 freaking air mattresses. I'll just set an air mattress up in the rooms. It's like, y'all fight it out.
Here's some shit and blankets.
[01:08:47] Bryan Goodwin:
You know? There you go. May comfort be ever in your favor.
[01:08:54] Duuude-Ron :
If not, get the fuck out. Go sleep on the carport.
[01:09:04] Rich Chelson:
No. That's where my Jeep sleeps. No. No one sleeps with my Jeep but me.
[01:09:16] Bryan Goodwin:
This is why he has no girlfriend.
[01:09:20] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, I may have thought about that, but my Jeep is my happy place, man. I mean, really. I know what I'm saying. I I I I'm totally saying. I know it. Y'all don't have to say it. I can say it for you.
[01:09:41] Duuude-Ron :
No. It's it's see, that's not sad, though. That really is not sad. It's more on the pathetic side, but not sad.
[01:09:54] Rich Chelson:
Well, I mean, it just it just I don't know. You know? It yeah. That's why that's why I don't leave my Jeep anywhere Cause it's it. That's, you know, you know, people have service dogs and all like this. I've got a service Jeep.
[01:10:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You know? I'm so I've heard people having emotional support Jeeps before. Yeah.
[01:10:21] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But trying to take that damn thing on a leash through Walmart, though.
[01:10:27] Rich Chelson:
That's a little challenging. I'm not gonna lie.
[01:10:30] Bryan Goodwin:
And that and that's what I bet that will not fly. That core that big leash that's up on a spool at the front of the Jeep is? Ain't that the leash? Yeah. Yeah. But but yeah. Yeah. Walmart would frown upon that. Oh, wow.
[01:10:45] Rich Chelson:
Yeah, they would they would frown up on that. I don't know. But
[01:10:53] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I'm trying to take it into a pizza parlor, you know, at, Chili's or something like that. You know? Chili's
[01:11:03] Rich Chelson:
is a pizza parlor?
[01:11:05] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. I said I there was a pause in between that. Oh, I'm sorry. Either the parlor
[01:11:11] Bryan Goodwin:
or Or Chillz. You know, stories
[01:11:14] Duuude-Ron :
or, you know Okay. Okay. IHOP for that matter. There you go. Yeah. No. Hey. Hey. IHOP's the place to go,
[01:11:21] Bryan Goodwin:
man. Especially at 3 o'clock in the morning.
[01:11:24] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:11:26] Bryan Goodwin:
You know what? I Walmart used to be the place to go at 3 o'clock in the morning because if you wanted to go laugh at a bunch of tweakers, that was where you went. I walked up and down the aisle, see someone trying to stand still, looking inconspicuous, but not stopping. Well,
[01:11:43] Duuude-Ron :
the closest I'm off to me, they're not open 24 hours anymore.
[01:11:48] Rich Chelson:
Really? What?
[01:11:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. See, this is the fall of of Manhattan right there because, 1, kids I'm In Amarillo, I knew where growing up and stuff, I knew where the the where the dance, dancing places were. You know, you went to SRO if you were if you wanted to dance rock, went to midnight rodeo. If you, if you wanted to go to do country dancing and you went to, well, there for a while, it was, the Cadillac Ranch. If you wanted just kind of a cool fusion of maybe some rock and roll, makes it with some country from time to time. And those were the kind of the 3 main dance clubs go to. Right.
I don't think there's any dance clubs in Amarillo anymore. Really? I haven't looked in in, like, in Dallas see what what they were. I mean, I used to go to the Green Iguana, and there were several places several, several places down in Deep Ellum whenever I used to go clubbing in my in my early twenties. And Deep Ellum was the place to go to go hang out. You saw saw a bunch of Freakazoids hanging out there. That was always fun.
[01:13:14] Duuude-Ron :
But, Well, you know well, you know, in, Fort Worth, Mickey's is closed now.
[01:13:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Is it really?
[01:13:22] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah? You mean Gilly's?
[01:13:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Or Gilly Wash where it is. Yeah. Yeah. I know it's stopped. Like, Gilly's are Yeah. That's pretty close for a couple years. Mickey Gilly's is the place. Yeah. Gilley's and Billy Bob's is closed.
[01:13:36] Rich Chelson:
Billy Bob's?
[01:13:39] Duuude-Ron :
I you know, I I think Billy Bob's is closed as well. Let me check.
[01:13:46] Rich Chelson:
I mean, that can't be.
[01:13:50] Bryan Goodwin:
That's too much of a damn tourist attraction with the indoor rodeo and all that.
[01:13:56] Rich Chelson:
Hey, y'all. Don't get me wrong. Oh, no. Nope. It's still open. It's still open. Yeah. Yeah. I know what it's gonna be like, because yeah. Freaking Billy Bobs. I mean, that was that was a place to go back in the day. Yeah. You know? I mean, that was, yeah, that was a shit.
[01:14:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, hell yeah. Oh, it was also fun, you know, go to Mesquite to the Mesquite Rodeo and get, you know, go go watch the rodeo there. Never fail. You would you couldn't drink a beer without having some type of of floating turd in it because, you know, the cattle would get close to you and kick up the dirt. So something would land in your in your beer. So you always had you you improved your your immune system going there. So Right. Right.
[01:14:46] Rich Chelson:
You know, that's that's something that's something that I haven't done in a long, long time is going to a rodeo.
[01:14:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Gone to a rodeo? They have rodeos there in Mississippi? I don't know. Or they call them rodeos. Let's see. I don't know.
[01:15:01] Duuude-Ron :
Rodeo or rodeo. The only thing I've done in Mesquite is the dirt trap.
[01:15:09] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, it seems
[01:15:11] Rich Chelson:
like okay. Back in the day, when I was going to rodeos, I went to 2 a year. That was, Greeley, Colorado, the one in Greeley. And then, I would go to Cheyenne, Frontier Days. Oh, okay. I would go to the Cheyenne Rodeo. And, Yeah. That was yeah. That I tell you what, that was fucking awesome,
[01:15:39] Bryan Goodwin:
going to the Cheyenne. Oak City has one every Labor Day. Yeah. Because you don't wear Wyatt after Labor Day. Labor Day. So it's coming up. They have a, they have a they a rodeo there, and it's kinda it's, apparently, it's kind of a big deal. There's there's several several people from all over the country, and sometimes the world show up there from what I understand. I've only been once. But Well, yeah, think about it. I mean I mean Right. Elk City is close to Dallas, Mesquite,
[01:16:15] Rich Chelson:
you know, all the all the big rodeos. And and, honestly, to the north, they're not far from Cheyenne. They've got I mean, once they do Cheyenne and Greeley, because those 2 are big points for the for the national finals Right. Rodeos. When they do those 2, they've got smaller towns in between. They can work their way down or back up and just run that circuit right there and score enough points, make enough money to make the national finals. You know? So and so, yeah, Elk City is is, like, just on the way for them.
[01:16:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. You know? I know that a lot of people also like to go to the the Lazy E Arena.
[01:17:03] Rich Chelson:
Yep. The Lazy E in Enid. Right?
[01:17:05] Bryan Goodwin:
I think that was I was gonna say it's Enid, but I wanna a 100%. I know it's somewhere up Let me check. On a northern Oakyland.
[01:17:12] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Enid Enid's just just, right there by, OKC at night. Yeah. It's north of just north of, of of of Guthrie. It's in Guthrie. The Lazy E.
[01:17:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, okay.
[01:17:27] Rich Chelson:
It's in Guthrie.
[01:17:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Do you know that but in that general vicinity. So Yeah. Guthrie's I know Guthrie is a little closer to, little closer to to, OSU than it is OU, but
[01:17:42] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. There's yeah. It's just northeast of Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City. Yep. On my,
[01:17:50] Bryan Goodwin:
on my 35.
[01:17:52] Rich Chelson:
Yep. Yep.
[01:17:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. That's funny because my wife, and her friend went to, went to Guthrie once. Because my wife used to make, body scrubs and and soaps and things like that. She was trying to get her her own little soap business going for a while. And one of the ways that she was trying to do is was trying to go on the crafters, circuit. Right. And they had one that was over in Guthrie. And the once the once the the the show was finished, Cherry and and Jana decided, hey. Let's go let's kinda look around because Guthrie's kinda neat looking. And so they went and were looking around, and they came across this old old Victorian style house and, apparently, used to be a a mortuary. And so they were in there. They were, they were taking a little tour of it and all that.
And they were talking to, talking to this one lady, and Sherry was just sitting there. She there's this marble slab, and she was just running her hands all all over it. And so she's like, oh, this feels so amazing. It's so nice. And the lady goes, oh, yeah. That's why they do autopsies. Whoop. And those hands flew up, she was like, okay. Yeah. I mean, I mean She was she was like, alright. Well, I don't like it that bug much.
[01:19:10] Rich Chelson:
Did she realize that they do clean it after
[01:19:14] Bryan Goodwin:
they get done? I mean Oh, she if it's if it's anything bad, she just push Sherry wakes out. She's just she is one of those who's like
[01:19:24] Rich Chelson:
Oh, wow. Have a
[01:19:26] Bryan Goodwin:
go through and have her talk about the time that, her, Jana and their mutual friend, Janine. Janine's kind of the oblivious one, but, Jana and Sherry swear that, they went to the old, there used to be, back in the twenties. There was an old dance hall in Amarillo called the Nat. And this they would go everybody in town all around. I mean, you had Bob Wills go in there to to play, play on the stage. All the folks all around, they all showed up over the net to play, and everybody would dance and have a good time. Well, it's been around, like I said, since 20. So it's all well well past a 100 years of gold now.
[01:20:15] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:20:16] Bryan Goodwin:
And it's now an antique store. And or not even an antique store. It's just an antique mall. A whole bunch of people have shown up, and they sell they sell all sorts of stuff. And there was a, a section where Sherry and Jana were kinda milling around. They were talking, having a good time. And all of a sudden, this little girl jumped up, screamed, screams, like, ah, it touched me. And then went ran away. And about that time, Janet and Sherry swear up one side down the other that all of a sudden something came along and pushed right between them and and carried on and and carried off into another part of the, of the deal. And so they're swearing up one side down the other that they had a ghost that that ran them over.
And Okay. But except but except for the fact that shit that, Janine was standing kinda in between them but behind them. And she just was like going, what the hell are y'all carrying on about? What the you know, what does everybody care? You know, she's just gotta No. What the hell? And apparently, didn't bother her at all, but bothered Janet and and and, and Sherry. So they barely they almost got bowled over by, by, by a very stout ghost. And and, and Janine was just like, oh, what are y'all doing? So That's funny. So yeah. There's funny. It so yeah. She when it comes to ghosts and and spirits and the dead, Sherry Sherry just Sherry wigs out. She goes she goes from from 0 to 10 and and and faster than anything you ever see if it if she thinks that there's a ghost around.
I it's It can be kinda comical at times. Other times, it can be the most annoying effect of of Sherry, because then all of a sudden, everything's a ghost. No. The toilet the toilet we gotta sing in toilet. It just makes the noise from time to time.
[01:22:25] Rich Chelson:
It's a ghost that's on it.
[01:22:28] Bryan Goodwin:
It's gonna crawl up my cooter. No. I just took a shit, Sherry. It's fine.
[01:22:35] Rich Chelson:
Oh my gosh. Yeah. I don't I I mean yeah. Yeah. Some things scare me, but stuff like that
[01:22:45] Bryan Goodwin:
I definitely biggest thing that ever scared you? The biggest thing? Or the the greatest scare that you had from from something that you weren't expecting to to to be there?
[01:23:02] Rich Chelson:
You know, I would Jump.

[01:23:28] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's about what it was. Scared the shit out of everything apart. Until until the parachute opened, I was fine.
[01:23:37] Bryan Goodwin:
It looked round,
[01:23:39] Duuude-Ron :

[01:24:05] Rich Chelson:

[01:24:19] Bryan Goodwin:
have. Yeah. But biggest I mean, I've had a couple of big scares, but one of the funniest big scares that I ever had was for about 2 weeks, I was needing to I was needing to make some money. I'd I'd left Schlumberger because Schlumberger in Arkansas was a piece of shit, and I was tired of working for them. And I was tired of being away from my family for 3 to 3 and a half weeks at a time, and I was sick of it. So I was like, fuck this. I'm done. I'm I'm heading home. Well, got home, was trying to get on with Sandstone, and they were trying to see if they could get a position open for me. And so, while waiting, I had to make money somehow. So I was was working for, went for this water hauling company called McIntyre.
And so they 1, I'd I'd never pulled water before, so it was I had a you know, it took me 2 or 3 days of following somebody around to kinda get the drift of how you're supposed to mark on the on the the on the, the tape to find out how deep the water is, yada yada yada. And so about the second start of the 2nd week, I was on my own. And I went out to this one I was going out and I was got to the this one place. And I step out, you know, you you step out of the out of, in a place, and you ever had that, okay, something feels a little weird. You know? You're, like, stepping into some place you're not supposed to step into. Oh, yeah. Alright. And so I was like, alright. Well, kind of feel felt a little weird. What what's, a, new moon. It wasn't a full moon. It was just kinda, you know, thumbnail moon.
But I was like, alright. So I let's go start getting, get everything, get the water pulled that need to be pulled. And so as I'm climbing up and down, up and down, I, just walked around the around the back of the tank because I was needing to go pee. I don't know why I needed to go behind the tank, but I needed to go behind the tank to pee because, you know, if I'm the only one out there. I didn't want anybody else to see me. So You didn't want the coyotes or anything to see me. I didn't want coyotes. Well, the thing is is I walk around the corner. And like I said, it's not a full moon, so you don't see everything clearly. And it's not a new moon, so it's not pitch black.
But I walk around the corner and there is this skull sitting there in the dark. And it just I see it, and I'm going, oh, shit. And all of a sudden, that skull went, scared the fuck out of me. I mean, my hair stood up. I I I grew 5 4 inches worth of hair. It stood stow so far up. And I turned around. I said, fuck to the damn piss, and I shagged ass to the damn truck again and sat there for a few moments till I realized it was a fucking cow I saw. Was not expecting the damn damn cow to be standing back there. And I was I'm you know, I was just just haven't seen any of the others wandering around. And while this one was hanging out inside of the damn tank battery area is beyond me, but there he was. And by the end, fucking thing scared the shit out of me. So, yeah, we have that. And then, oh, hell. There was another time.
I was out, I was out on the, I was out in, what we call the the rock house, in Sunrise, which is on the on our, our own ranch. There's a place, it's just rock rock house and stuff. And I was just out just kinda blinking blinking rodents and stuff while with my 22. I was just having, you know, just wasting some time because it didn't have anything to do on it on a on a weekend. And, I was out there, shooting at, hanging out in a, prairie dog town that we had. I would anytime prairie dog, it should poke his head up. I'd I'd shoot at him. And I looked over, and all of a sudden, I don't know where and what my mind picked up was a was a cottontail that had lost its head and the fur had grown over the over this, over the wood.
And it was running straight for me. And I turned around and she tagged ass, and I didn't have to run very far, but, you know, like, maybe 25, 50 feet at most to, to a corner post. And I'd I'd jumped up onto that damn thing. I it wasn't it wasn't I have to clamor up. It was a jump up onto it. And about that time, once I got up and I looked down, it was a freaking prairie dog that was just hell bent on getting to another hole that he was trying that he needed to get to. And I that's I mean, it was just the weirdest damn thing I'd ever seen. I was like, holy shit. What the hell's up with this rabbit? Why is he still alive? And I got up there and this damn prairie dog just just keeps screwing right along.
So
[01:29:41] Rich Chelson:
Well, I remember I remember, there's this one time. I was that's when I was living out in Montana, and, I was working at the sawmill. And I worked I worked, overnights. Right? And I was I was I was in a boiler room, and and I had to watch, the computer and and the steam bays because we dried wood too. And I also had to walk this whole compound once an hour and, you know, as a security check. And, I mean, it's like, I don't know, 2 in the morning. You know? And, I mean, it it was chilly. I mean, it it was, like, you know, 27 Oh, Montana. Yeah. Yeah. But, well, this was in, you know, like, August.
You know, it was like it was, like, freaking 20 something degrees that night. But,
[01:30:40] Duuude-Ron :
oh, yeah. Right.
[01:30:42] Rich Chelson:
But, yeah, no, I was, I was, I was walking around just, you know, minding my own business because no one's out there. It's just me. Right. And, and well, they said that you wasn't allowed to have any weapons with you. But I'm sorry. On overnights, I normally had no 45 on my hip because there was no fences, so grizzly bears could come right down. And the mountains were, like, right at the edge of, you know, the sawmill.
[01:31:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay.
[01:31:15] Rich Chelson:
So the freaking grizzlies, the black bears, the the coyotes, whatever, could come down, eat me, and then run back up and no one ever know. You know what I mean? Right.
[01:31:26] Bryan Goodwin:
They would be like, where'd Rich go? Good grief.
[01:31:29] Rich Chelson:
Exactly. And, you know, fucking, you know, grizzly bears sitting up there putting his his napkin around his neck.
[01:31:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I got a burrito, man. No. I'm sorry.
[01:31:42] Rich Chelson:
So, so I, freaking, I walked around about 45. Right? And I had come from, the one building where they, was cutting wood and stuff like that because they would make 2 by fours, 2 by fours, sixes, twelves, whatever. And I came out of that building, and I had to go to the main office and, scan that little thing. And I'm just sitting there minding my own business walking by. And just no sooner than I stepped off in the grass, I heard, I heard a noise. And I mean, I turned and drew in one fluid motion. And it was 3 deer. Somehow, either I didn't see them or they just snuck up around behind me and then snorted.
Oh, good. I mean, I turned Drew. I looked at him. I said, you're lucky you're not fucking dead. Because I, I mean, yeah. I mean, I, I mean, I was like, yeah, and I'm like, you fuckers. Yeah. Because everything was quiet. It was desolate. It was cold and quiet. Yeah. And, you know, crisp, you know.
[01:33:02] Bryan Goodwin:
Mhmm. No no sound.
[01:33:05] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. No sound whatsoever, except that, you know, where they snort.
[01:33:11] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. They snort a lot.
[01:33:14] Rich Chelson:
That will scare the fuck out of you. Yeah. Well, you're especially not expecting it. Right. And I wasn't. So, yeah, I I I damn near shot a deer point blank with the 45. I didn't know, but I thought about it. But, yeah, there was 3 of them and I'm like, I shoot them off, you know, because I mean, these deer, deer didn't care, man. They'd they'd freaking come right up and eat right at your hand.
[01:33:42] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, okay. So they've been they've been touristized.
[01:33:45] Rich Chelson:
So Well, you see, that's the thing. I mean, there there wasn't many tourists that that stopped in this town because the only thing in this town was, Salie Lake, which, I mean, you know, big size lake, but in a couple shops on the main part of town in the sawmill. Right. It was the town. That was it. You know? So so, yeah, as far as tourists, no. I mean, now now when they had the forest fire out in Montana, you know, we had all the firefighters, you know, being in town and stuff like that. And then, yeah, we had a lot of people, you know, but I don't know. It's just but, yes. Yeah. Salie Lake, look it up on the map.
Ain't nothing around fucking anywhere. Nothing around? No. The nearest town is Missoula, and I think it's 50, 75 miles away. Uh-huh. So yeah. Yes. Yeah. There's, I mean, there's nothing close.
[01:34:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, the the reason why I was thinking they were probably, touristized is because, like, we had also you go out to the, to the country club and hang out there at the hang out there. There's elk that just lounge in the yards everywhere. And just it's like, jeez, man. I'm hunting season. Ought to be easy. Go out into that. Right. Apparently, you're not allowed to shoot Belk, or deer in in city limits for some dumb reason. We can't. They're there. Man, that's just rude. I know. It's like, jeez, man. I mean, you know, a bit Eltonburgers say Eltonburgers ready for the picking. I can just go out to my backyard and blink.
[01:35:26] Rich Chelson:
Right. Well, yeah, hate to say it, but the gun you'd have to use, it needs to be a little bit bigger than a plink.
[01:35:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Nah. Nah. Nah. You just get right up close to them. You make sure it's inside that little round circle part of their forehead.
[01:35:45] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[01:35:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. So speaking of speaking of deer, is it me or deer getting more numerous?
[01:35:58] Rich Chelson:
What do you mean?
[01:36:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I mean, like it, whenever I was growing up, never ever saw deer in the Texas Panhandle. I mean, if you went up in the top part around Canadian and and the, the Canadian River Valley and stuff, you would come across bule deers from time to time, but they were real, real rare. But white tailed ears, I never saw one. I never saw any white tailed deer in anywhere in the Texas Panhandle whenever I was a kid because, hell, I had a car and I was man.
[01:36:33] Rich Chelson:
You would, It was me at least you saw.
[01:36:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, now but but actual white tail deer never saw. Right. Right. So but within the last, I'd say, 10 years.
[01:36:57] Rich Chelson:
Uh-huh.
[01:36:58] Bryan Goodwin:
I have seen several instances of, like, driving home from, like, sunray coming back. And there'd be a couple freaking deer just hanging out in the middle of the road looking at you. White nose and humidity. My daughter actually went off and had she was, like, going how many times do y'all do have you ever had deer inside of Amor Elmo? And I was like, I don't think there's any deer in Amarillo. She's like, oh, no. There's deer in Amarillo. I saw I I saw one in the middle of the yard, someone's yard, this morning. I thought it was a statue until it turned and looked at me.
[01:37:37] Rich Chelson:
Was it a white like, holy shit. Was it a whitetail or a mule? Yeah. Yeah. It's a whitetail.
[01:37:43] Bryan Goodwin:
Really? No. Muleys are too damn big. You know, everyone Oh, muleys are freaking huge.
[01:37:49] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. They're they're huge, but that is weird that, Amarillo I mean, unless unless there's not enough food and the deer are going
[01:38:01] Bryan Goodwin:
wherever they can to get Oh, I'm I mean, I'm seeing deer everywhere, though. I mean, in in, like, Western Oklahoma. I mean, hell, there's I already started seeing, saw someone, someone was having a bad day because there was there was a a a buck, and he he was I granted, it's not it's not right yet because he still had velvet on his antlers. But there was a buck at who had got, who got creamed by by something. And about a quarter mile down the road was another another one, and he was creamed by something. So either the same person had a really bad day or or 2 different people had a rough day. So
[01:38:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That that Well, there's a place down here next to Belton and Temple called Morgan's Point. And you go into Morgan's Point, it's it's a anyway, Morgan's Point. At night, oh, you drive down through those neighborhoods. Yeah. Yeah. There'll be 30 deer in somebody's front yard.
[01:39:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep.
[01:39:15] Duuude-Ron :
30.
[01:39:16] Bryan Goodwin:
That a my uncle Arthur has a, has a friend called Animal. And his his pickup, he's his the front end of his pickup looks like absolute shit. But also, beside the door, he's got deer silhouettes for for every time he takes a damn deer out. With the truck? With the truck. So yeah. No. That is that is crazy. Being overwhelmed there. And I mean, this like I said, this the front of this pickup's got, like, 4 different colors on it. So he's changed out panels and stuff several times, and and it never fails. He'll get he'll get a new one put on and go down the road, and all of a sudden all of a sudden, you know, next time you see him, the fender's all bent up again because it's like fucking deer.
[01:40:07] Rich Chelson:
No. That that is weird that that that deer are moving in more and more. Yeah.
[01:40:14] Bryan Goodwin:
The other because I don't know if we just need to start up and turn them into, like like, hog season where there's no season for hogs? It's just you see them, you shoot them, you get rid of them, and No. No. Can't do that. You would you would freaking totally destroy the deer population that way. Yeah. But at the same time, wouldn't that
[01:40:37] Duuude-Ron :
But I have plenty of Dear Burgers.
[01:40:40] Rich Chelson:
Hey, man. I love Dear Burger, Deer Ste. I love I love all the but but, see, the thing is, though, you need to look at the hunters, from year to year. And I think it's dropping. I'm not sure. In in in some areas of the country, like like up north, like in Wisconsin or Minnesota. I mean, you know, up there that you know, just about everybody hunts up there. But Yeah. You know, Michigan's a big hunting hunting area too. Yeah. Michigan, Minnesota, all that. Illinois, I think, is I'm say I'm not sure with with the gun control laws that they have in place. You know?
But Yep.
[01:41:26] Bryan Goodwin:
But I'll I'll get to it here in a moment. So Okay. It reminded me of something.
[01:41:30] Rich Chelson:
But but, no, I was just I was just saying that that, you know, it sounds like because there's not as many hunters as there used to be because, you know, young men are are not being taught how to be a man. Yeah. You know, that that they either don't know or they're or they've been brainwashed enough to where
[01:41:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Been wussified.
[01:41:58] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Wussified. And and I'm not saying it's it's their fault. It's the people that are teaching them folk. Right. Whether that be their teachers at school, their parents, their grandparents, or anything, or a combination thereof. Right. So I'm not pointing a finger at anybody, but still the fact is
[01:42:20] Bryan Goodwin:
you've got to That there's these are men. Fewer men that are actually out hunting. Right. Right. And so sense.
[01:42:27] Rich Chelson:
And I mean, that's that's the most logical, you know, I can think of. Right. You know? Because and that's the thing. If you do that, all these channels are gonna get overran by deer. They're gonna have to open up deer season. Maybe not to Gun, but to Beau, they will. Crossbow and, compound and recurve and stuff like that. Oh, yeah. Very much so.
[01:42:53] Bryan Goodwin:
So so but anyhow, you mentioned Minnesota. Yeah. And one of the most head scratching, we're going to end up dying type of rulings just came through on on their courts, the reason. On what? And that is in Minnesota, There is no right to defense.
[01:43:27] Rich Chelson:
What?
[01:43:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You cannot defend yourself. They actually have a, what are they from what I was able to understand about it, it is the, essentially, retreat first. You actually want they want you to actually be retreating to to lead to to retreat and not stand your ground. They don't believe apparently, in Minnesota, they have a ball of ups to stand your any type of stand your ground. So even if you brandish your gun, you could actually go to jail try to defend yourself. So, like, the that, that couple that was standing out in their front yard, holding weapons, trying to keep the, trying to keep the the angry Liberals from, from destroying the, destroying their their property.
Right. I can't remember who they were, but the one where the woman didn't know how to handle the fucking gun, you could tell it because she was all
[01:44:35] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. All Waving it around. Yeah. Yeah.
[01:44:40] Bryan Goodwin:
But, but yeah. They that would have caused them to, that couple to actually go to jail just because they they weren't trying to, to flee and and retreat.
[01:44:58] Rich Chelson:
Well, okay. Check this out. No. No. No. You're right. Because, now in 23, they say, they said they said Minnesota has the castle doctrine, which allows individuals to use force, including deadly force, to protect themselves or others within their dwelling or occupied vehicle from unlawful entry or harm. But on May 2, 2024, Minnesota standard ground law. In Minnesota, a person must first attempt to escape a dangerous threat before resorting to force. So so okay. Let's say okay, Brian. Let's let's take you and me. Okay?
And let's say I was, I was being my jovial self and you pull a gun and wanna shoot me because I'm just so fucking happy, you know? And, and instead of me pulling my weapon and shooting you because you're pointing your weapon at me, which is a natural reaction by law in Minnesota, I have to run away. Yeah. While you're while you're still pointing your gun at me, you could shoot me in the back or in the side or to the heart or wherever or, in the buttocks, you know. I mean Oh, so I jumped out the pet, babe. Right.
No. I'm sorry. But but I know that answer is no. I guess I would wind up going to jail.
[01:46:45] Bryan Goodwin:
And, Right. This is I I just actually texted over to you. Myself clicked back over. That's the that's the video that raised my, my attention to the fact of what Minnesota had done. So
[01:47:03] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:47:04] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I actually just came tripped over that earlier earlier today and never act got around adding it to the list. But that was just fascinating. I was like, no. You can't defend yourself. You can't defend you know, you got a little old lady who who can't run. And even if you were to pull and say brandish a a a baseball bat and threaten someone that you're gonna bat and you know, you're gonna play play, ice hockey with their head. You could actually go to jail for that.
[01:47:34] Rich Chelson:
But but yet, what about the people that is threatening the the the older person? Nothing happened to them? What what? They just like, oh, bad boy or bad girl or Oh, I mean,
[01:47:48] Bryan Goodwin:
depending on depending on the race of the person. Yeah. It'll just be a, don't do that. And and Yeah. I see. You see. I mean, that's it it's kinda like in in England where they've got the 2 tier, 2 tier, police force. If you're if you're a white, white Englander, you can't say anything negative or bad. You can't say anything bad about anything transgender or immigrants or anything like that. You say anything like that, you can go to jail. Wow. For offending somebody. Wow. If you you retweet a post that somebody else said that has something that somebody finds offensive, you can go to jail.
But at the same time, like over in Birmingham, this last week, where they they had, they had riots going on with a bunch of bunch of men who were who were, of of, of non English descent
[01:48:56] Rich Chelson:
Uh-huh.
[01:48:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Rioting and and and causing mayhem, slashing tires and everything else. And the police did nothing. Wouldn't come over and and start trying to do any arrest or anything.
[01:49:10] Rich Chelson:
Really? Yeah. I mean, what wow. You see, this is this is what I don't get. It's like, why are we bowing to these people?
[01:49:25] Bryan Goodwin:
No. I mean, the bingo and loop because they don't have a right right to speech free speech. They claim that they have free speech, but they Oh, okay. They really don't. Oh, great. Okay. Hold on, though. Hold on, though.
[01:49:38] Rich Chelson:
Look at the United States, dude. We're letting all these all these other thoughts and ideas and all like this dictate how we act, what we say, what we think. So it's it's it's the same as over in England. Why don't we stand up? The people in England too. Okay. Stand up and say, screw you and get her done.
[01:50:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Well and they're they're trying. They're they're trying to because there was a, a guy who was he was born in England, but he is his parents are are from a from another country, and I can't remember what what, what country he's it's from. I think it was some place in actually in Africa. But anyhow, this kid went off and went on a on a slashing spree because, you know, guns aren't allowed, but everybody has knives. So, you know, they they go off and stab each other in the ass, basically. And they were and this guy went on a slashing spree, killed 3 children, hurt like 11 others, and before the police were actually able to subdue him and get him into jail.
And there was riots about that, but the riots were being spun off. And, again, this is one problem of having a a national news organization like BBC. I think this is one of the big problems because the government can go, BBC has to report what we want them to report because the government's paying for the paying their bill. So there's no actual free press so much.
[01:51:33] Rich Chelson:
Well, that's ABC, NBC, and CBS over here, dude. CNN and and and and And Fox to to a to a good point too. Good point. I mean, I mean, seriously, you know, you see, that's the thing. We haven't had freedom of press over here in the United States for a long fucking time. I'd say what, since the nineties? I mean I mean, in the eighties, you you know, when we still had Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw, you know. Before Tom Brokaw went off and made a fool of himself. Yeah. Well yeah. Yeah. That's true. But but, I mean I mean, we had people that actually reported the news. We had newspapers that Right. That only reported the facts, the truth, and and showed both sides and let you make the decision.
Yeah. Instead, now you've got every fucking newspaper around the world.
[01:52:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, the newspapers don't actually report news because the reports news would be the Walter Cronkite style of here are the facts.
[01:52:40] Rich Chelson:
And leave it at that. Oh, yeah. No. And but but, yeah, that's But now they're like what I'm saying. And Trump was,
[01:52:47] Bryan Goodwin:
said some horrible, nasty, terrible stuff. And this is what he said. You people, ugly, smelly face. You know? They're like, oh Yeah. These are all hateful words, and so they're all putting, you know, putting thoughts into in the into the public. And I I think that would be I mean And I'd love to be go off and have the money to start up my own, my own news organization. It'd be just called just the facts, man.
[01:53:21] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. Because because, yeah, you see, that's the thing. You've got all these newspapers that leave that lean, well, mostly left, but left or right. Okay. And, they, I I I don't know. You know, I mean, so we're not far off of England. No. No. We're not. And I mean, honestly, we're not. We're we're not far off I agree. And in Australia, those guys are censored just about as bad, if not worse, in England.
[01:53:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. No. They're they're just as bad. I mean, the only one I think that's slightly worse is China. So
[01:54:00] Rich Chelson:
Right. And, I mean, we don't even talk about North Korea. So but yeah. But but, see, that's the thing, though. You know? It's like it's like if if you actually sat here and looked at everything, you know what? We're all pretty much in about the same boat. I mean, we've got a, you know, a little more freedoms than than other people do and other people have a little more freedoms than we do or what. Right. Let's just say, screw it all, stand up, and take it back. Oh
[01:54:32] Bryan Goodwin:
god. I'm waiting on the, the Now you're now you're now you're you're on a watch list. So Right. You just got your house too. Darn it.
[01:54:42] Rich Chelson:
I know. Right? Ain't I ain't even moved in yet, and I'm on a I ain't even moved in.
[01:54:49] Bryan Goodwin:
You're gonna show up. They're already see all the cops already busted in your doors. Y'all they're all standing in the living room, smoking cigarettes going, you finally here? Alright. Well, we need to arrest you. So here we go. Come on. Let's go, you know,
[01:55:05] Rich Chelson:
take me to a black site or something like that. Terrogate me. You're a freaking terrorist. No. I ain't.
[01:55:12] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't know. Depends. What's your definition of a terrorist? You right wing? Yep. You're a terrorist. Alright. Well, we'll find that.
[01:55:22] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. No. It's it's I I don't know, man. It just this shit irks me and people now now I will say I did see something on Facebook, and, it was a it was a Facebook story about, Thomas Edison and, Henry Ford and Good. And everything like that where, Edison, met Ford and told him to go for, you know, because he was fixing to make the car and all like that. He's like, go for it. And then, later on, years later, Edison's, I guess, factory or whatever building burnt, and Ford wrote him a check for $750,000 Said Right. You know, you know, if you need more, ask. It's there. Rebuild.
And, in the comments, though, people were talking about Tesla. And, I mean, it was it was actually good to see a healthy debate. There was no there was no slamming. There was no shaming. There was no there was no derogatory remarks. It was all just differences of opinion to, to a one degree or another, and it was actually really, really nice to see. You know? I I Right. I I I mean, I actually enjoyed reading the comments for once on Facebook. And, you know, some people I agreed with, some people I didn't, you know, but they it was just and everybody was civil. That's what we need because you might believe one thing, I believe something else. I ain't gonna hate you because you don't believe what I believe.
Right. You're not you're not gonna hate me because I don't believe what you believe.
[01:57:18] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean May call you a name. May may call you a smelly liberal,
[01:57:22] Rich Chelson:
time. That's meant the worst of it. I'll call you a woke liberal, but, you know, you know, I mean, you're not good. But yeah. No. You see? And that's the thing. You know, we you know, people like to try and force their will onto everybody else. And sometimes they freaking take it way too far, and that's wrong. Oh, yeah. You know, that's that's freaking what we need to stop. Okay. I'll shut up now. You done got me wound up and Well, yeah. I gotta go at least once a freaking night. So I I mean, and and that's the thing. You did that sneakily.
I didn't even catch onto that until just right there when I heard when I said, woah. Hang on. You done got me wound up.
[01:58:13] Bryan Goodwin:
So but now it and it's just one of those I mean, and I know we're we're trying to stay somewhat away from politics. But at the same time, politics has worked their way into everything, but try just trying to go trying to keep away from, like, the the presidential election nonsense. And but at the same time, there's things like, you know, Minnesota going, yeah. You know what? If you try to defend yourself, you're going to jail. It's like, well, what about the, what about the criminal? I mean, if who's what about the guy who threatened me? Right. Why do I have to be the one who runs off, you know, runs off and abandons my my fort?
[01:58:57] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. But well, well, you see, that's the thing. You see, and and and like and like and like this here, what we're talking about is not really politics. It's just it's just honestly, why are we gonna let someone tell us what we can and can't do in this situation? Right. I'm sorry, but, you know, if it's Because our
[01:59:22] Duuude-Ron :
Go ahead. Because our society our society has turned into a bunch of sheeple.
[01:59:28] Rich Chelson:
Well, this is true. But you see, I'm not one of them. I I I don't look good in fuzzy white. Just saying.
[01:59:40] Duuude-Ron :
I don't look good in fuzzy white. Yeah. But we got too many sheeple out there that people that let, the liberal news dictate their thought process.
[01:59:56] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It is it's true and that's and and this is what this is what actually winds me up a lot of times because it's like people, you've got your own fucking brains. You used to think for yourself, but now Yeah. Everybody's gotten used to to having everything, you know, easily or or right there at their fingertips. And, oh, my God, they have to work for something. And, you know, now, oh my god, I can't do that. That's that's just like, no. That's wrong, man. Yep. It's like, you know, but
[02:00:34] Duuude-Ron :
Well, and nobody wants nobody wants to work anymore. Much help.
[02:00:40] Rich Chelson:
True. They all they all wanna sit at home and be, TikTokers or YouTubers. Yeah. Make the big bucks, you know.
[02:00:51] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. Big money in TikTok.
[02:00:56] Rich Chelson:
Now, now, I did, I did get to go to, I ate, I went to my Asian buffet over in Pascagoula. That first time in about a month, month and a half I'd been there. Right? So I Yeah. Like, that was like, you know, the bee's knees for me, man. That was like, oh, yeah. I was I was in heaven. But, I got my fortune cookie And and and, actually, the fortune cookies are not fortunes anymore. They're just No. They're motivation cookies now. Yeah. Yeah. They are. Well, no. It's true. It's true. And and, actually, that's not bad because this one I got is actually, very, I mean, in my eyes, 100% true.
It says, share your happiness with the world, and it will return to you tenfold.
[02:01:57] Bryan Goodwin:
And see, that doesn't work, but it see those I mean, that that's that might be very true. But the joy of fortune cookies was always doing the between the sheets. You can always take a good fortune cookie. You will see a tall, dark, mysterious woman between the sheets. You could always end it with between the sheets and it would be it it would fit all every single time. Right. Right. It's it's stuff like that. It's like going, okay. Well, it sort of works, but it's not near as good as what it used to be. Come on. The nineties were amazing with the between the sheep fortunes.
[02:02:37] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I know. I know. But no. I had just I had just gotten this in my fortune cookie, and I saw that, and I'm like, you know what? That's that's I mean, that's straight up. Yeah. That is that is 100 right there. Like like That's a very good motivation cookie. That is, that is straight up 100. And, and that's the thing, you know, I, well, I always try and share my happiness and, you know, except for some days when, when doctors wanna piss me off.
[02:03:14] Duuude-Ron :
When you're not happy?
[02:03:16] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But normally, I'm happy. But
[02:03:24] Bryan Goodwin:
I'm happy.
[02:03:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I won't. Yeah. Know what I mean. Hey. Happy. I close on my house on Monday. Okay? Yeah. I've got I've got 3 more days. 3 more days. And and I will have my own house. I'm being happy for the next 3 fucking days. Okay? And I'm getting my ham radio tomorrow, so I'm happy.
[02:03:48] Bryan Goodwin:
We will start catching more updated ham sandwiches, Rich's ham sandwiches again. So
[02:03:56] Rich Chelson:
Well well, I can say, I gotta double check. I can say we got a major solar storm coming late in the day tomorrow for the next, yeah. Let's see, see 9 o'clock minus 5. Oh, fuck. That's about 3 o'clock in the afternoon or 4. So about 4 o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, the the solar flare is gonna hit hard. We're gonna have a g two storm, and it's gonna last for minimum of 12 hours, if not 15. So it'll last into, like, 6 o'clock in the morning on August 10th. Yeah. I don't I don't expect, I'm gonna try, but I don't expect, radio signals to be good tomorrow.
So because, yeah, there's I don't know. We'll see. I'm gonna try. I I I am I am gonna try. And then now Monday, hopefully, there's no more solar flares and I can play radio on Monday too. We'll see.
[02:05:27] Bryan Goodwin:
There you go.
[02:05:28] Rich Chelson:
So that's at least says the plan.
[02:05:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, long as you got one. Yep.
[02:05:38] Rich Chelson:
I was gonna say, yeah, I got a plan. I don't know how well it's gonna work, but I got a plan. Y'all know me. Some of my plans aren't always the best, you know.
[02:05:52] Bryan Goodwin:
What was it? Man plans, God laughs. So
[02:05:56] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Really. That is true. You know, it's like that's why that's why I I I I I can't I can't really say a plan. I just kinda choose what I think I might wanna do and then just go with the flow.
[02:06:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Or was it Mike Tyson that said everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face?
[02:06:28] Rich Chelson:
That's a good one, actually. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's cool. But no. Honestly, if you ask me, we, we need to maybe give our email addresses out so if, people want to contact us.
[02:06:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, we could definitely do that. So, I mean, we definitely have, if whoever wanna be able to reach out, say hi, and see what we're up to, definitely are able to, do that by reaching out to, me. I am circlecast. That's circlecastat gmail.com, or you can get aholdrichover@rchelson. That's rchels0nlsen.
[02:07:14] Rich Chelson:
I still
[02:07:16] Bryan Goodwin:
sin. Oh, n. It is not Chelsin. So you're you're you're English. You're not you're not Norwegian. So so and, you can, send us, any comments, questions, inquiries, or anything like that because, heck, we always enjoy having a, having a good discussion. And I had damn it. I can't remember what it was now. I had a really good story that I was going to use to Appreciate it. To equate why equate the benefits of of, of helping us by by donating satoshis. I knew I should've wrote it down, and I did
[02:08:11] Rich Chelson:
shit. Shame on you. Yep.
[02:08:14] Bryan Goodwin:
I I and I know I'm terrible at that. I'm it's like, at the moment I know, I can remember this, is the tie is that should be my instant kicker of, okay. Grab a pen, Brian. Let's shoot them. Let's, you know Yeah. Because As soon as soon as you say I got
[02:08:29] Rich Chelson:
those 2 words, I got, No. You're
[02:08:31] Bryan Goodwin:
ready. Let's start writing it out. Because no. No. It was a really good analogy, that was to, to the benefit of of our, of of this benefit of the show. But but anyhow so any well, anyway, but this show is a podcast 2 point o show. It is a show that it we make for y'all. We may we like to get get together every, every every Thursday to show you guys that you can just intentionally get together. Start talking with, with other guys that you are are friends with. And just making a a having a go at it, having a good time just sitting around talking bullshit, you know, busting each other's balls time to time because hell, that's what guys do. We have fun. It's part of the camaraderie of of giving each other a little bit of shit.
And so to to show y'all that what it's like, that's why we one of the reasons why we, we all both all 3 get together so that we can show y'all what what it's like. But this is what this is what we do. We've been doing this get together, talking together on every Thursday for for quite a while now. And, and been quite a while. And we have had great, wonderful conversations. And we've done there's only been very few times that we miss a miss a Thursday, and that might be because somebody's in a place that might not have cell signal, or there's a a holiday that falls on a Thursday, which is typically Thanksgiving is usually one of the days we always miss. Right. Because, well, it's Thanksgiving. So so if it falls on a Thursday, you know, it's we're pretty much like, yeah, we're gonna have to kinda wave off this, this week.
But we are always together. But this show is a podcast 2.0 podcast. And what that means is that we add special features to our shows that you can act, that allow you to be able to, a, list to the show whenever you want. Like right now, we are actually live and lit. We are streaming live to the Internet, and if you have a podcasted 2.0 show that accepts the lit tag, you're going to be able to see us, or not a CS. You're gonna be able to hear this podcast as we're as we're recording.
[02:11:06] Rich Chelson:
If you wanna skip all those It's Twitch.
[02:11:09] Bryan Goodwin:
You have to go to Twitch. If if you wanna see us, you have to go to Twitch. If you wanna be able to see us, yeah, we were alive on on Twitch. And who knows? I might be seeing if I can find a way because somehow, or somewhere along the way, someone has changed stuff. And, we might be may have to see about, starting up a, a a TikTok, channel and see see if we can figure out how many what the, what if it's open for everybody or if it's open for just, people who are now between 500 and a1000. Because I I'm I'm at 600 and some odd people. That not and I mean, it's not like 680. It's low, like, 6 12. I can't ever get past 6:15. I get to 6:15, and then all of a sudden, the next time, it it'll I'll hang there.
And it's so aggravating because I'll hang there, and I'll I'll be still trying to get out an episode every day, an episode every day, episode every day. And then I'll get a fresh, someone to, to follow me. And TikTok does not tell you when you lose people. They will not update you until you get a new follower. So it'll be like I'll be at, like, 616, 616, 616 for, like, 4 days. And then I'll get a new follower, and I'm at 6:11. Like, fuck. Oh, shit. But Like, son of a bitch. Damn it. If Been trying to get to a 1,000 for 2 years now, and I I'm stuck in the 600.
[02:12:41] Rich Chelson:
If we add in TikTok, I'm gonna have to get a 75 inch screen and about 6 more monitors. Thanks, man.
[02:12:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, you know, we're gonna we're gonna make sure we get, use every single one of them gigabits you got in your memory. So
[02:13:00] Rich Chelson:
That's okay. That's okay. When I get Internet, I'm a get, one gig service.
[02:13:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I was gonna say you're gonna get that fiber, the feebre
[02:13:12] Rich Chelson:
stuff. But yeah. No. That's, yeah. I've done I've done plan that because, that'll give me everything I need to stream and do whatever. So shoot you. Be able to do your,
[02:13:27] Bryan Goodwin:
do your your your digital, your digital,
[02:13:33] Rich Chelson:
ham stuff too? And Yeah. FTA, f 240. Yeah. Yeah. So Yeah. That's, yeah, that's nothing but then but streaming on here and everything and sent to your window and TikTok.
[02:13:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, what we probably end up doing is, is on TikTok, we may just convert the TikTok over to, over to a, because I know for a little while, if I'm thinking right, there was an RTMP protocol, address that you could send to your TikTok, and it would Yeah. And so you could stream, like, video games and stuff.
[02:14:10] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. No. No. As no. As far as I know, because at the time, TikTok and Facebook weren't weren't playing well with each other with that RTMP, and it was Facebook side because Facebook is being a bitch. But Well, yeah. You know, I mean, I mean, look at their owner. I
[02:14:29] Bryan Goodwin:
mean, come on. He he has become a lot less autistic here recently. Well, I think it's actually the and a lot of people are thinking it's the MMA that's doing it, where he's actually starting to become a little more human. So he looks a lot less autistic, though.
[02:14:47] Rich Chelson:
Oh, so so so he's changing from a robot to a boy now?
[02:14:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. He's becoming a rebel boy. Oh, boy.
[02:14:59] Rich Chelson:
No. I mean, I mean, Lord, forgive me. That's that. It's not right to talk about someone like that, but
[02:15:05] Bryan Goodwin:
So but It isn't. But no. But at the same time, it's it is what it is. But we are also with being a podcast 2.0, podcast, we also have the ability to accept Satoshis, which you can you can stream Satoshis, you can send them as a Boostagram. And if you send a Boostagram, we actually receive the the message. And when, with the with the message, we can actually turn around, see what was, sent, look at the message, and we'll be able to reply to the message live and in person so we can actually have conversations. And and and it's great because every time you wanna talk to us, it's gonna cost you a little bit of money. Not much, but a little bit of money. And and and we're okay with that because we do enjoy the capitalist system.
And so it's it's capitalist you. Evil cat evil capitalist, I am. And so it's but there's so much more to it. I mean, you can look on our site. You see that we have a we have a pod roll. We have we have so many different ways. If you don't aren't comfortable using Satoshis, which are a form of crypto a which is a a, billion cryptocurrency. A 100 millionth or a 100 billionth? 100,000,000,000. It's a it's a I think it's a 100,000,000,000 of a of a of a Bitcoin. So it's it's a very small these are just little micropayments that that you're sending over. But a lot some people just aren't very comfortable with with doing, sending out crypto. They're not sure about crypto. They've heard crypto in association with the Silk Road, and so they don't wanna be seen as as as criminal underground. That's fine. We got to. I understand. Some people are okay with it. Other people aren't. And if you're not, that's okay. We you can go out also go over to, 2 grumpybets.com, and at the top, you'll see a tab that says value for value.
You can click that tab and, be able to send us some fiat currency, which are little green certificates of appreciation, otherwise known as dollar bills over to us. And you can all still send a message over to us. Or whatever
[02:17:19] Rich Chelson:
you have.
[02:17:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Or yeah. I mean, they convert. They they convert to to to to the greenback. So
[02:17:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. So I mean, it's and and I mean, we are global here because we've got other countries that do listen to us.
[02:17:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. And I mean, I'll that's what it was. That that I thank you for that reminder. I now I remember my whole spiel that I was coming up with. Because what it is is you walk notice on YouTube, so many people, you notice how everybody is censoring themselves on YouTube these days. Oh, yeah. You see, I mean, they can't e they won't even say porn. They say corn. It is, not rape if they're talking about the rape victim. It's r asterisk p e. Yeah. So you might be might not know what it is and say, well, why are they bleeping out rope? So, you know, you don't know what the what it is exactly. But sex, a lot of times it's segg, s e g g.
It and they use all they try to use all these kinda halfway words, but what it is is it's them censoring themselves.
[02:18:29] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm.
[02:18:30] Bryan Goodwin:
And that is because advertisers want people to be brand safe. There's a thing called the GARM, initiative. And GARM is a global alliance of for responsible media. And basically, it's a bunch of little goody twos you stand around going, well, we we wanna make sure that our advertisers, we don't want them being associated and say, like, Coca Cola doesn't wanna be associated with somebody who talks about porn all the time. So if you say porn, we're not going to be able to advertise. And and you watch on YouTube, and you won't catch people saying that. They will They'll Like video game, critics, they will since YouTube throws a fit about too much blood, they actually will either a, pixelate everything.
If it's got some blood shed on because they killed the killed the big baddie or they go gray. And it's all just a type of censoring. And that is the glory of what podcasting 2.0 is about. Podcasting 2.0 allows us to actually not have to sweat censorship. Because the people who we have to appease isn't Procter Gamble. It isn't Ford Motor Company. It isn't, you know, it isn't Honeywell. It isn't, Schlumberger. It's no company that is on the face of the earth because we don't do advertising. The reason we don't do advertising is because it is a the moment you allow advertising in is the moment you start allowing censorship into your into your, into your show. Because if you wanna get those great big bucks, you have to say say things the way that the company, your sponsor, wants you to say it. And that's never gonna happen. Limiting your exactly. And you have to start limiting yourself. I think, actually, I think you, there was a time where you and and, your previous podcast, y'all actually had a an instance of a sponsor wanting to start and put some demands on y'all. It's like, well, you need to say it this way and this way, and you need to get rid of the other guy and do this and this and this and Yeah. And, he had to Yeah. Hand his money back and go go take fly and leap, Jack wagon, because, no, we're not doing that. Exactly. And and and no. Yeah. Yeah. You're exact honestly, I'd almost forgot about that. You're exactly right. And that's the thing, you know. I,
[02:21:08] Rich Chelson:
you know, if you wanna sponsor with us, that's great. But, we're gonna say what we want, how we want, when we want, and we don't give a shit with you. That's true.
[02:21:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. We're gonna say the wordy dirts. We're gonna say we're gonna say the words that the other people are gonna shy away from. We're prob we're I'm aiming for a 0 GARM score. Alright? I don't want I want people to see this thing and go holy shit. Adam and Eve won't even touch it. You know? We're we're No. We're not gonna We're not doing that. No. That's because we This is not a show for the advertisers. This is a show for you. You, the list. And if you find any value of what it is, you get that choice whether you wanna send, you know, just a couple shekels or you wanna send a paycheck. And you, whichever way you wanna do it, we're intensely grateful.
[02:22:07] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Or or or if you have talent, wanna make you're a graphic designer, wanna make cover art, wanna work on a website. And, you know, I mean, just whatever. If if if you can help us, you know, if you can provide, you know, your talent and help us provide and all like that, we'll freaking cut you in on on the on the Satoshis we get. You know?
[02:22:33] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, because we're because it's a value for value. So if you're not we're not here to become millionaires. No. That's that's what that's what my coaching business is for. It's for me to get rich off of that. Right. So this this is this is strictly for for my health. So
[02:22:53] Rich Chelson:
So so yeah. And I mean, that's the thing, you know, so that's why that's why we say reach out to us by email or send to BoostiGram, and you don't have to wait to send the BoostiGram when we're live. You can send it anytime.
[02:23:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. You can send it whenever you like, and and we'll get it. Yeah. We will. When we when we look down before the next show, we we gather all the, all the new boostograms up and and we'll read them out. And so far, we haven't had it. So No. We haven't. Be the first one? Why don't you go ahead and try it out? See what happens. You'll find out it's actually kinda fun. You could send out a a satchel Richards if you want, which is also known of as 1111. It's a bag of, you know, because the ones look like dicks. So it's Satchel Richards. Yeah. Okay. So you got you got a you got a satchel Richards that are you send out 111111, that's a big bag of dicks. So you got you got that.
You can also have a, a row of ducks, which is, 4 twos or big row of ducks is, you know, is is 6 twos. You could also do, the the magic number, which is 3333. And they've got more. They've got the striper boost, which 7777. You could do the Star Trek boost, 1701. There's the rush boost, which is 2112. There's a whole bunch of of rate, numerology numbers out there that you could throw and love to be able to hear from. So if you, if you want, we even got the if you wanna be able to send send a a social satoshi over to us with a message, please do so. We would love to be able to hear from you. We'd love to be if you want don't wanna send satoshi, if you wanna be able to just reach out to us, send us an email. We'd love to hear it from you. Yeah. Dude, we'd love to hear it from you. Send us an email. We'll get it over to dude, and then we'll have dude get reply live on the show and and and see what he what type of wisdom that boy drops because he does. He drops a lot of wisdom when you least expect it. All of a sudden, you're just kinda left like, woah.
It's amazing.
[02:25:01] Rich Chelson:
So It is true. Guys
[02:25:03] Bryan Goodwin:
so guys, take the time. And and, it may seem like we're begging. And to a point, I I don't mind being the, being the the the the organ grinder monkey with my little cup hanging out because yeah. We're this stuff takes it does take money. It takes money to run the, to to get the website. It takes money to to host the, the the show. It takes time. It takes a lot of time, actually. This is a 2 and a half hour, sometimes 3 hour
[02:25:37] Rich Chelson:
show. Yeah. It was 3 hours. And it's a 4 to 1 ratio.
[02:25:40] Bryan Goodwin:
Alright. So for every hour, that's 4 hours of work. So we're at 8 8 hours. 8 hours. Almost 10 hours. Of work of editing of of of of everything else that goes into the goes into a a into a podcast, we, we have to, we have to put that effort in. And so we're right now, we're Yeah. We're doing this essentially at a as a money loss. And that's okay because, again, I would still be talking with Rich and the dude whether we had the show or not. But we wanted to have fun and play with the podcasting 2.0, but also show you guys, hey, this is this is how you can do men's night. Just where y'all sit around. You might drink a little bit of brown water from time to time. Have some cigars and just and talk it up. And just talk about whatever it is. What you know, you can talk politics if you wanna talk about politics. Or you can just talk about whatever you know, anything.
[02:26:50] Rich Chelson:
Right. And and not to totally cut you off, but, you know, girls can do this too. We don't wanna leave the girls out. You know how the girls get.
[02:27:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, please. That's a bunch of girls too. Dude. Dude. I was raised with sisters. Okay? I know. I know. So was I. But, I mean, there's a reason why they have the He Man Womanators Club. So and only those gen x and and and older understands that reference. Right. Right. Exactly. Some millennials, if their if their parents actually taught them correctly. So
[02:27:26] Rich Chelson:
This is true. But, yeah, no. It's that's sorry. I just I just had to throw that in there. It just seemed like it took a good time
[02:27:35] Bryan Goodwin:
to work again. But anyhow, so dude, you got any, closing, closing words of, wisdom you'd like to share with the folks?
[02:27:43] Duuude-Ron :
Just my usual be kind and because you never know what the person that you were talking to is going through in their life. Again, we, with the veterans, we lose entirely too many veterans to suicide, 22 a day on the average. It'd be nice to, cut that number down. If you know a veteran and you know that they are not going through an easy time, you know, be that ear or that shoulder to lean on or that ear to listen. Sometimes it's just a matter of they just need to get off their chest what's bothering them and, you know, that makes a, huge difference in somebody's life.
[02:28:39] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. That's exactly right.
[02:28:42] Bryan Goodwin:
