Oh, shoot. That's funny.
[00:03:21] Rich Chelson:
I'm like,
[00:03:25] Duuude-Ron :
So, basically, have you ever have you basically ever seen the, TikTok or, what, Facebook or whatever when there's a loud bang and the emu just jumps and starts running around like a head like, it has yeah. That's you, Brian.
[00:03:43] Rich Chelson:
Have you seen the one where the emus are trying to go up at, an icy hill, have you haven't you? I have not seen that one yet. Oh, I'll see if I can find that one, for consent team within that. I'm I'm driving right now, so I won't I won't quite do that type of, of of, acrobatics. So
[00:04:06] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You better not. Especially if you have a friend that has a, white vehicles with, you know, certain colored lights.
[00:04:16] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well, you know, I mean, there's times that, yeah, they have stopped me for impromptu safety meetings. So, you know, impromptu safety meeting.
[00:04:25] Duuude-Ron :
That is a fucking excellent one. I have never been I have never been stopped for an impromptu safety meeting conversation. Wow. I think, Texas DOT just write you a fucking ticket.
[00:04:46] Rich Chelson:
I think you're probably right. They just go, okay. There you go. $15 or it should cover the bill just fine.
[00:04:54] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:04:56] Rich Chelson:
Speaking of bills and things like that, alright. Have y'all been seeing the the videos running around about apparently, Arkansas is requiring to know how to read and write? Yes. I kinda heard something about that. But I wonder I'm wondering if that's actually true or if they're just, you know, just trying to make a stink.
[00:05:19] Unknown:
Well, hang on. Let me look.
[00:05:25] Duuude-Ron :
Well, let's see. If you're in the in The United States and you're driving a fucking 80,000 pound commercial vehicle, you damn right, you better fucking be able to read, write, and understand, and speak English.
[00:05:40] Rich Chelson:
Well, you're right. You should. But, again, that doesn't mean that's what the law is. Right. We should have the have the, the pledge of allegiance stated in school every morning, but we don't.
[00:05:56] Duuude-Ron :
I I I will agree with that 100%. It did when I was in fucking school.
[00:06:01] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Well, it's just a country for you. I have Rich is trying to get his get his information out. It wasn't. So alright, Rich. What you got?
[00:06:14] Unknown:
Well, first off, what I was gonna say is, actually, by the federal law, yes, truck drivers must know how to read and write the English language. But a lot of the states and and a lot of the federal DOT do not, enforce that law. So that is in the FMCSA. As far as, as far as Arkansas, they're saying yes. It's it's an act to create the Secure Roads and Safe Trucking Act of 2025 to amend the law concerning a commercial driver's license, any operators of a commercial motor vehicle to require that operators of commercial motor vehicles have proficiency in the English language, to require that operators of CMVs have a valid, commercial driver's license. Basically, what they're trying to do is, the way it reads is, enforce the rules.
[00:07:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And and to enforce the rules. But, I mean, it was just like they were having, they I forget. There were, like, three or four questions they were asking about, and if a person could not read, write, and speak English, coherently and and stuff, they were either, a, being issued a $5,000 fine.
[00:07:49] Duuude-Ron :
On the spot?
[00:07:50] Rich Chelson:
On the spot. You had to pay them or you got slapped in the handcuffs and you and you did you went to go spend some, time now buying merch. So
[00:08:00] Duuude-Ron :
And if I'm not mistaken, if you drove for a company, that company got fined mail too. $10,000 on the spot. Yep.
[00:08:12] Unknown:
Yeah. There was yeah. I had saw something about that as well. But, but yeah. No. It's it's, yeah, it's it's a federal law for truck drivers to read, write, and know the English language and understand and all like that and communicate. But no one has enforced it, and apparently, Arkansas is saying, fuck you. We're gonna enforce it. And and and, see, the thing is no one can bitch about it because they're enforcing federal law. They're not making any new laws. They're just enforcing federal law at the state level. So Yeah. But but at the same time, that is
[00:08:55] Rich Chelson:
and they they're basically trying to run on the same line as what Texas does where we're we're reinforcing federal law at the local level by ensuring that, you know, the illegal don't come across the, the the Texas border. Right. And but at the same time, the Democrats were would would throw in a huge pit and and suing Texas left, right, and center to, to get them to stop enforcing the federal law.
[00:09:26] Unknown:
Right. Well, that's like I remember when, let's see. Was it Trump's first term? When, Nikki, yeah, when Nikki Haley was was in Trump's cabinet or whatnot, and she said something about the southern border. And she come right flat out in front of a bunch of reporters, you know, because they were bitching about how we were closing the borders and, you know, deporting, migrants and shit like this. And Right. It was all it was all bitching and whining and griping and all like this. And she's like, look. We're enforcing the rules that are on the fucking books already. We're not adding any new laws. We're not changing anything.
We're enforcing what's on and, oh my god, the press had a field day with it. Oh, yeah. They were Oh, no. No. They're separating
[00:10:21] Rich Chelson:
babies from mama's.
[00:10:23] Unknown:
Yeah. It's like it's like, how fucking dare you enforce a law that is on the books?
[00:10:30] Rich Chelson:
You know what type of damage you're doing? You know how many people's feelings you're hurting?
[00:10:37] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Fuck fuck their feelings. You know how many you know how many fucking people they kill a year?
[00:10:47] Rich Chelson:
No. Not really.
[00:10:49] Duuude-Ron :
You well, neither do I, but, you know,
[00:10:54] Rich Chelson:
if they weren't here if they weren't here
[00:10:58] Duuude-Ron :
yeah. If they weren't here illegally, that fucking person would not would still be alive.
[00:11:04] Rich Chelson:
Possibly. Possibly. Have you ever watched Final Destination? No. Death finds a way. Do what? Well, you Said You see the Death finds a way. That you you if not ever seen final destination, it's basically it's a bunch of kids went off and, and cheated death. And, and now they're, as they go through, their death is slowly creeping up on each one and and taking about all sorts of wild and gruesome violent ways.
[00:11:38] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[00:11:41] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know what? You ain't going to cheat death,
[00:11:46] Rich Chelson:
Period. Well, that's kinda what the what the, the moral of the story of that movie was. Yeah. Who are you?
[00:11:54] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. And I sent you guys a video, if I'm not mistaken, where there was a guy crossing a road, and there was a high speed chase.
[00:12:08] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[00:12:09] Duuude-Ron :
The car got t boned in the intersection. It got slammed over to the corner in the telephone tree or a pole or something. Yep. And then the car went through. That guy continued walking across the road.
[00:12:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. He's got his hand up across the edge. Like, god. I'm gonna die here. And then comes, like, police
[00:12:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And then the police car continues on through the intersection. It's like Yep. You know, that is well, that was hit that day was his day.
[00:12:48] Rich Chelson:
Yep. He was, his, his guardian angel was, like, going, fuck this shit. Goddamn.
[00:13:01] Duuude-Ron :
And, you know, I can't I don't want to confirm or neither deny, but I bet you he had one hell of a fucking stain in his pants.
[00:13:11] Rich Chelson:
If he had a if not, he had a hole in his pants. So
[00:13:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You know? Could you call that cheating death? Or did his guardian angel say not today?
[00:13:27] Rich Chelson:
I think I think that was guardian angels going, yep. Never mind. Y'all go this way.
[00:13:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So he's not cheating death, but he eventually, just like all of us, will die. Yeah.
[00:13:42] Rich Chelson:
Well, I've seen the one I'd see if I can find it again. There's one of a girl. She's she's walking down down the sidewalk. For whatever reason, there was a car parked on the on the the shoulder. And for whatever reason, she walks out into this into the street and walks beside the car. And about that time, a driver who wasn't paying attention hit that, hit that parked car and launched itself up in the air and landed on landed on its side off to her side. So divided again. Same stuff. And this girl was like, oh, shit. She's like, get the fuck out of the way, man. I'm almost dead.
Yeah. No kidding. Yeah. I got You know what I mean? A video a lot of people having really close calls.
[00:14:27] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And I've seen, you know, a few of those videos. But you know what? A sad incident happened, here in as a matter of fact, it was in a junior high school in Killeen. Right?
[00:14:46] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:14:51] Duuude-Ron :
Man, I can't wait for the fucking cops to fucking find that son, bitch. That loud noise you heard was some fucking punk on a fucking a mope. Well, not a moped, but a mini bike. Fucking Yeah. Hauling ass hauling ass guys. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:15:14] Rich Chelson:
And they're not even the mini bikes. Like, we're we're used to seeing. They're they're, you know, they're like This
[00:15:22] Duuude-Ron :
this is this is that mini bike that rode by was our era our era mini bike. It's little mini minibike. Okay. Yeah. Mhmm. So, anyway, it happened Monday, I think. A 14 year old girl, stabbed another girl in the in the junior high, in the neck, and that girl succumbed to the injuries of the stabbing. Okay? So we got into a little bit of discussion at work, and I said, well, you know what? I think that 14 year old girl needs to be tried as an adult. However, the conversation continued. That girl that got stabbed had just returned back to junior high that day from being in a alternative school because of violence.
She was a bully. So they kicked her out of junior high because of her, actions as being a bully, put her into an alternative school. I I don't know how long she was in there. But the day she went back to the regular junior high, she started bullying that same girl again, and that girl stabbed her. So, you know, with that being said, yeah, I think that could be classified as self defense. One big issue.
[00:17:11] Rich Chelson:
I would think I would think so. And,
[00:17:14] Duuude-Ron :
so Especially if the especially if the bully was actually making physical contact, in that, in that realm.
[00:17:27] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:17:28] Duuude-Ron :
So you know? But still, 14 year old girl. And I can and they don't learn it from anybody but their parents. Their their manners, their
[00:17:43] Rich Chelson:
Actually, you know, I'm gonna kinda disagree a little bit because, yeah, some of it a lot of it is parents and learning stuff, And a lot of it is also just social media and and the Internet itself. They it glorifies, you know, watching all these girls, these teenage girls just going into brawl session. You know? And question, how many of these kids when they get violent like that, how many of them are actually on antidepressants?
[00:18:17] Duuude-Ron :
You know, that I don't know. And I was fixing to say that, okay. Yes. It's not all on the parents. It's on it has to do with their peers. If their peers are bullies and, you know, just social rejects as we used to call them in the eighties Yep. You know, that is also part of it. Peer pressure, you know, is part of it, but I believe the majority aspect is from the parents.
[00:18:59] Rich Chelson:
Yep. I think majority is or well, I think a very good portion is from the parents. They they, and, and the fact that they don't allow corporal punishment in schools anymore. I think schools should be allowed to take a board up against, kid's ass if they're misbehaving. You know, after about seventh or eighth session, if they still haven't gotten their their act together, then, okay, then you need to start stepping it up into into other stuff because in school suspension's a fucking joke. That's a vacation for most of the kids. The kids are like, alright. I can sit there and do nothing. Sleep. You know? No. You need to if they're if they're gonna go off and have a do an insulin school suspension, I think it should be in school work where alright. Well, give me a moment. You're gonna be doing shit you don't like to do.
And then let them sit there and try to figure out you know, figure their life out and go, you know, peeling potatoes or or, or beating toilets. Toilets. Yeah. Scrubbing toilets. Or even, you know, a little bit I think a little bit of core from punishment does goes a long way. So, you know, let them go off and figure out what a day's worth of, doing wall presses is like.
[00:20:35] Duuude-Ron :
Or, better yet, being in the position of a dying cockroach.
[00:20:42] Rich Chelson:
That was really good. Now. That was really good in military. Yeah. Yeah. That was real. And, Throw me your dead roach. Don't die.
[00:20:52] Duuude-Ron :
No. Just, you know, lay there on on your back and put your hands and your feet up in the air and see how long it's going on. Exactly. Yeah. Or better yet or better yet, lean against the wall and pretend like you're riding Harley Davidson.
[00:21:05] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Wall presence.
[00:21:08] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, is that what it is? Okay. Yeah. Oh, okay. So, yeah, it's I don't know.
[00:21:18] Rich Chelson:
But now I mean, a lot of people have decided, oh, no. You can't be spanking your child. That's, that's terrible, horrible, no good, stuff. You're you're teaching them to hit. Well, apparently, just parenting is not is not keeping them from hitting. Alright? Constance doesn't actually get the more fights.
[00:21:39] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. My daughter about went through a fucking wall one time. You know what? You wanna fucking run your mouth? I'm a fucking your mouth is gonna stop running. Yeah. Because I'm gonna hit you hard enough that you're gonna go through a fucking wall. And would I gotten charged with child abuse? Absolutely not. It's called disciplined.
[00:22:04] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You may as hell you can't even discipline your child out out in public.
[00:22:10] Duuude-Ron :
Let somebody correct me if I'm disciplining my kid out in public. I would just love to fucking have that conversation Oh, yeah. With that merchant.
[00:22:29] Rich Chelson:
No. Most of the time, I catch a parent and discipline a kid out in public. I usually walk up past them and and because, you know, I know that they're pissed off, and I it's probably not the best time to really do it, but I tell them, good job. They need more of it. Yep.
[00:22:49] Duuude-Ron :
You know what? I have no problems fucking confronting Karen. Nope. Or Ken. Doesn't matter.
[00:23:02] Rich Chelson:
So Yeah. Oh, hell. Yeah. It's but, yeah, a lot of the problem, though, is is the are the antidepressants, the SSRIs, the that, that kids are on today. Really? Because Yeah. Yeah. Because what it does is it dead now I say it it takes away the emotions. Now you talk to the psychiatrist or whoever, they're going, well, it doesn't take the emotions away. It just takes it and and and and dials it down. So the well, no. They're they're they're teenage kids for one. Well, for one, SSRIs aren't approved for anyone under the age of 18, but doctor do that and do it anyway.
The the, but the the the drugs deaden the the emotions down. And what that, ends up doing is the human body has to feel emotion. That is the crucial, intricate part of being a human. That's one reason why teenagers have their emotions all over the wall and all over the place whenever they're when they're when they're teenagers. So they get used to having emotion. They get used to having a high the highest of highs and lowest of lows. That's why they feel they act and seem to be manic depressive. Not that they are. They just act that way because that's hormones in action. And everybody wants to stand around and go, well, they you know, I I want them to feel better. No. You don't actually want them to feel better. You want them to feel like a human.
Humans don't get the chance of feeling better. We get the good stuff. We get the bad stuff. It's a fifty fifty pro that's the fifty fifth principle. Half our life is is wonderful. It's top top of the top of the mountain, and the other half is down in the bottom of the valley. You're feeling lower in a snake's belly under a wagon wheel rut. It's you're just you know, it it just sucks. It's going to have moments of of sucking. And so to to deny kids that ability to experience the emotions causes them to have to try to find ways to feel something, anything.
And the most powerful emotion out there is often anger. Yeah. And so that's why they strike out. That's why they that's why, I forget which one of the Columbine kids. I think both of them actually were wrong, some type of antidepressant. They have to feel something, anything. And so to do so, they resort to violence. They start they they do school shootings. The, the the transgender kid that went off and shot up the Christian school was on SSRIs.
[00:26:29] Duuude-Ron :
I didn't I didn't hear about that one, but, you know, you they're fucking they're unfortunately, there's so fucking many of them. Right. It's just unreal. Yeah.
[00:26:42] Rich Chelson:
Oh, there's a lot more out there than what they like to talk about because, you know, they talk about all the mass shootings. Most of the time, it's the a mass shooting is considered a shooting anymore with more than, more than two people. And so that ends up being being for you know, if you have an element of family violence, and and Paul goes off and, you know, goes to try to do a murder suicide, that's considered a mass shooting. And so media likes to go off and and and use utilize the the term for their, for their own
[00:27:29] Duuude-Ron :
game. Yeah. For their narrative. Yeah. Yeah. Now okay. Now we're we're fucking kids of the eighties. You know, the junior high, high school, eighties in fucking high school. I don't ever remember, this type of violence on on a large scale, like, all the mass shootings we had. Do we fucking have that shit in the eighties? I don't remember hearing any about anything about that.
[00:28:02] Rich Chelson:
No. We weren't on on any of the lessons either.
[00:28:06] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right. Okay. I gotcha.
[00:28:09] Unknown:
We all had guns in our trucks.
[00:28:11] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I mean, hell, we well, and that's that's another thing is that a lot of these kids just you know, they weren't they they get told, hey. Guns are these really powerful, horrible things. And so, yeah, they wanna turn to what they've been told is the scariest thing around. They've been told guns are the I mean, hell. You got you got kindergartners who get put into, who get expelled from school for eating a pizza in the into the shape of a gun. And one kid who ended up having, the teacher, made him use a different name because when he was, sign signing his name because they were learning I think they were learning sign language or whatever, but his name is Hunter.
The symbol for Hunter is is a is a finger gut. Couldn't have that. So, you know, instead of, you know, accepting the fact that's what the what the sign for Hunter is, We're not gonna call you hunter. We're gonna call you, you know, Fred or whatever.
[00:29:23] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Again, bullshit. That's just bullshit in Ron's opinion.
[00:29:28] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Well, that's be that's making guns a very scary item. Oh my. If you if you have a gun, you're gonna get kicked out of school. If you if you well, I mean, during, during COVID, whenever kids were doing Zoom having Zoom classes, There's instances and ever instances of kids who had, whose parents got police called on them, and the police would show up because the teacher saw a BB gun in the in the background. Oh my god. We got a gun in the in in class. We can't have a gun in the class. It's like, no. Wow. Yeah.
To overreact about a gun. So now the kids say, oh, there you go. You know, if if they were to be taught that taking a baseball bat was the most scariest thing around, they they, the weapon of attack wouldn't be a gun anymore. It would be a baseball bat. And I could somehow convince kids that a feather duster was the worst weapon known to man and killed hundreds of millions and caused fear and terror amongst the anybody holding it. I can guarantee you the kids would walk around with a feather duster. I mean, hell, they've already people were able to convince them that, hey. Being a boy isn't a good thing. Boys wanna be girls and girls wanna be boys. And you had mass hysteria. You had a mind virus walking loose in in world last last three years.
You got kids who were thinking, oh, yeah. I wanna be a cat. Let's use a litter box in school.
[00:31:18] Duuude-Ron :
And I and I saw a YouTube video or a fake but, you know, whatever, where there was a guy that got pulled over for speeding and gives the cop a one of those little, like, dog license, but it was a cat license. Oh, yeah. Hands that to him. When the when the police officer said, I need to see your license, and he presented the fucking little tag for, you know, a pet. He goes, I identify as a cat, and the guy sitting in the passenger seat was the owner of the cat driving the car. So the cop says, well, I don't remember what state it is. In such and such state, cats are not allowed to drive vehicles.
So if you want to claim that, then I will put you under arrest for operating illegally operating a motor
[00:32:32] Unknown:
vehicle as a cat.
[00:32:35] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly. And it just it just ran into a great big fucking, you know, scene is like and the cop says, well, you know, I can call a social worker here to come here, and we can discuss this, you know, that you are a cat and and find out why you are identifying with a cat. And then it just it just kept getting hilarious. It was just, you know, come on, people. That's just where does it where does it fucking end? You know, it will unfortunately, it'll never fucking end.
[00:33:17] Rich Chelson:
Well, it to a point, it will. But one of the big points they're gonna have to do is they're gonna have to actually start go ahead and carry through with the, with the dissolution of the Department of Education.
[00:33:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. At the federal level, what is that even doing? Nothing.
[00:33:43] Rich Chelson:
It's not yeah. It's not yeah. Well, it's not teaching our kids anything because since the development of the Department of Education, kids, kids, scores, you know, their their study scores or whatever it is they're supposed to be using to measure has been going down.
[00:34:04] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. There's no there's no lie about that. You know, how many high school kids are proficient with reading, writing, and arithmetic in the grade that they are currently in.
[00:34:22] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I think they're saying something. Now I can't remember if this was exactly fully what all the context of it was, but something like twenty five percent of adults, I think is what it is, is are not efficient, or not if it not efficient, proficient in reading. And that and I think, like, fifty percent of those can't even read in a sixth grade level.
[00:34:56] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And that is that was. And that that well, that's ridiculous. You know? Now I'm not the highest educated individual. Let's see. My graduating class in high school was 12/1996, I think.
[00:35:19] Rich Chelson:
I'm a graduate student. My home my hometown.
[00:35:24] Duuude-Ron :
That that's just my high school. There we have five other high schools in Lincoln, and our graduating class was over 1,200. You know what my ranking was? It was in the 1,200. I I didn't rank first, second, or third. I ranked in the low 12 hundreds. So, yo, did I could I apply for a full ride scholarship to college? No. Not even fucking close. You know, I barely barely passed high school. You know? But I can read. Now there's some words I you know, are eloquent words. You know, those 15 syllable syllable words I have to fucking look up to figure out the definition for them. But, you know, okay. That's what I got Google for. Right?
[00:36:26] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:36:28] Duuude-Ron :
So but, yeah, that's it. I don't know. But we are but in the world as a whole, we are probably one of the highest educated countries in the world.
[00:36:49] Unknown:
Mhmm. So and China being
[00:36:57] Duuude-Ron :
the highest educated. Right. But their country is about right.
[00:37:02] Unknown:
You think our school is one of the highest educated?
[00:37:06] Duuude-Ron :
As a country. I don't know. I could be wrong. I don't know. Maybe I'm just talking outside of my head. You know, same side of the head that I got slipped with slapped with a pecker because that's the way my luck is. If it was raining boobies, I get hit in the side of the face with a fucking pecker. So, you know, compared to okay. Like, I don't know what we're I'm sure you're looking it up right now, Rich. How's how's The United States ranked, you know, compared to the rest of the world Yes. I have it. By country. But, you know, there's a lot of Arab countries that are, you know, limited education, especially for females.
You know, South American countries. You know? But, again, I don't I don't know.
[00:38:12] Unknown:
Well, we're, 22 right now. We're 22. The world.
[00:38:18] Duuude-Ron :
22 in the world out of how many countries?
[00:38:24] Rich Chelson:
There's 200 something.
[00:38:26] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Like, two hundred and fifty and forty countries. I mean, no. No. We are not at the bottom end of the scale. No. We are not. But still, with everyone being like they are, oh, America is the greatest. America is the greatest. Which, yes, America is the greatest, I think, and always will think that. But compared to the rest of the world, 22 other countries outdoes us in education. Yeah.
[00:38:59] Duuude-Ron :
Does it does it say on your list of what countries outdo us?
[00:39:04] Unknown:
I'm looking.
[00:39:05] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. I know China.
[00:39:10] Unknown:
This was the case of, 2018. Yes. China was number one. Singapore was second. Estonia is third. See. No. Those aren't countries. That's the top three. China, Singapore, and Estonia.
[00:39:35] Unknown:
Mhmm. So Yeah. I'm seeing if there's
[00:39:42] Unknown:
I can find it. I know I can.
[00:39:55] Duuude-Ron :
You know? And, again, everybody can. I just I don't like to sit down and read. Like reading a book that is not I don't I don't know. Last I don't know the last time I sat down and read a book
[00:40:19] Unknown:
has been decades.
[00:40:23] Unknown:
Okay. What's what's the problem with that?
[00:40:30] Duuude-Ron :
Nothing. Now I read the Bible. You know, that's the only book that I will really pick up and read. You know? So but okay. When I was growing up, I had a very hard time in school, learning as a whole. Just you know? I struggled. But now there's people that you know, girl that was in high school with me, she got a full ride academic scholarship because her GPA was 4.4. So, you know but, again, I wasn't that person.
[00:41:18] Unknown:
But Yeah. But it it you see, that's the thing. Comparing you to someone else doesn't mean anything. You know? That person just excels in different areas than you do.
[00:41:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Then I could very possibly excel in, you know, does in other areas. You are absolutely correct. So comparing one person to another, when it comes to academics, everybody is different, period.
[00:41:51] Unknown:
Oh, it looks like Brian dropped out. But Well, he was driving too. But I just found a new list. It's it's, as of 2024, and South Korea is number one. We're actually ranked number 31. Alright. So It it goes South Korea, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Japan, Germany, Finland, Norway, Ireland, and Singapore. That's the top 11 right there. China is number 13. Wow. Yeah. And we're number 31.
[00:42:31] Duuude-Ron :
And Yeah. Then we're going the wrong fucking direction.
[00:42:37] Unknown:
Well, yeah, because the schools don't fucking teach anything anymore.
[00:42:41] Rich Chelson:
Nope. I mean, they they teach to for the test, and that's the closest they come to teaching. And that's not really even teaching.
[00:42:50] Unknown:
No. Because You're right. Other countries actually, they don't teach for the test. They they teach the material and then test on the material, which is the way it should be.
[00:43:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They teach them to educate them not to pass this particular test.
[00:43:06] Unknown:
And there's actually 208 countries that are on this list.
[00:43:25] Duuude-Ron :
Hopefully, one day, we will fucking get back to at least 21 or 22.
[00:43:33] Unknown:
Alright. Yeah. They need to cut out the Department of Education and, change the way things are taught in schools first.
[00:43:42] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. But it it's it's all gotten political.
[00:43:47] Unknown:
Yes. I know.
[00:43:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So we need to eliminate well, we need need to eliminate the fucking Democratic Party is what we need to do. However, we need to Right. We need to eliminate, the fucking the red tape, the the fucking all that fucking shit, and just get you know what? Get down to the basics. Let's get back to, say, oh, I don't know, maybe late eighteen hundreds and actually fucking teach shit.
[00:44:27] Unknown:
Reading and writing and arithmetic with a little history. That's all you need. Nothing else.
[00:44:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So, yeah, they really need to get rid of the Department of Education at the federal level because they ain't doing nobody nothing
[00:44:49] Unknown:
except for trying to do.
[00:44:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They are except for fraud, waste, and abuse. Yeah. Sorry that you if you have are employed by the Department of Education at the federal level, well, I guess you're just gonna have to go back into a classroom and, you know, be a teacher again. They're hurting for teachers. So but oh, I finally found out the name that I've been looking for for the last ever since the fucking, State of the Union address, who was sitting next to Schumer? It was Adam Schiff. Humperdinck. No. It was Adam Schiff.
[00:45:40] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. He well, if you'd mentioned that he had the lost look on his face, I would have been I I probably would have been better at guessing that. So
[00:45:50] Duuude-Ron :
that dude should just be him. Schumer knows you. Yeah. All those need to be in fucking jail. Yep. They all need to get audited, and, I mean, fucking dig into the fucking weeds of where their money came from. Okay. I get it if they are in stocks. However, they got that information by insider trading. Can we prove it? No. But that's how they got their information was insider trading. Right. So they need to start pulling their financials and say, okay. This was a, you know, kickback from this particular fucking, you know, money given to this group, and then that group gave you this money. They need to start fucking tying everything together and start prosecuting them fucking people.
Now this is not just the Democrats. It's Republicans too. You know? Ain't none of ain't none of not a damn one of them in DC. Well, shit, even at state level, fucking innocent. So how do you know when a politician is lying? He opens his mouth.
[00:47:25] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[00:47:27] Duuude-Ron :
This is true. Yeah. It'd be nice if they were fucking, you know, had some morals, ethics, and values, but they don't.
[00:47:39] Rich Chelson:
Not normally.
[00:47:43] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, Rich already knows this. So last weekend, Brian Uh-huh. Was it? Last weekend was a very expensive weekend in this house.
[00:47:56] Rich Chelson:
Oh, really? What happened?
[00:47:58] Duuude-Ron :
I spent 12,000 fucking dollars.
[00:48:03] Rich Chelson:
On?
[00:48:05] Duuude-Ron :
A whole new AC heater unit with ducting everything.
[00:48:11] Rich Chelson:
Oh, damn it.
[00:48:13] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. $12. But you know what? So far, it's comfortable in the house. You know? I have I have AC, and I have heat, and it's actually blowing through the ducts.
[00:48:33] Rich Chelson:
Oh, that's good.
[00:48:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So, hopefully, it'll, you know, be efficient. We'll see how the how the summer comes out. But I know that I need to insulate up in the attic because the the blown in insulation has collapsed. Right. Yeah. We did the house is freaking, what, built in '89. So it's, what, thirty thirty something years old.
[00:49:04] Unknown:
So I know that I need to insulate the attic.
[00:49:09] Duuude-Ron :
So I'm gonna get some, you know, some rigid insulation to put on top of the blown in insulation, to help possibly insulate the house just a little bit better. But, yeah, last year was, you know, $6,700 fucking a month electricity bill. So, hopefully, that'll get cut in half. That would be nice. Yeah. But at least if it if it gets cut in half, that will be paying for my payment that I'm making for to purchase the air conditioning unit. So, you know, that would be nice.
[00:49:54] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. I can then and accept that.
[00:49:58] Duuude-Ron :
You know, but the nicer aspect of is that it'll be nice and comfortable in well, a little bit more comfortable in the house Right. Than in the summertime coming home to 86 degrees in the house, and the air can get sure running full blast for several hours and not doing the damn thing. But we shall see it hasn't gotten a hundred and six here yet. Yeah. Yeah. And I know that I came on when you guys were talking about weather in some type of for fashion or form. And have you have you gotten naked yet, Rich? Or is it still the, sloppy season for rain?
[00:50:41] Unknown:
Oh, it's still sloppy, dude. We're supposed to be tomorrow.
[00:50:46] Duuude-Ron :
When when is this supposed to, like when does Mississippi stop? About mid May ish
[00:50:53] Unknown:
time frame? No. No. It should be by the March.
[00:50:57] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay.
[00:51:00] Duuude-Ron :
So And then and then you're gonna get naked?
[00:51:04] Unknown:
As long as it as long as it, stays warm and dry for more than three days, yes. But if not, then not no.
[00:51:19] Duuude-Ron :
Well, come July, you will be. Right?
[00:51:22] Unknown:
Well, hell yeah.
[00:51:24] Unknown:
Hell, yeah.
[00:51:25] Unknown:
Hell, yeah. I'll be naked in July. I'll be naked in June.
[00:51:31] Duuude-Ron :
And possibly May.
[00:51:33] Unknown:
Yeah. It's let's put it this way. If it stops raining like it has been, in March, when I take my top off, that's it.
[00:51:45] Duuude-Ron :
It must rain again.
[00:51:48] Unknown:
Yeah. But, but yeah. No. I yeah. No. I'm just I'm I'm just waiting on this rain to stop.
[00:51:57] Rich Chelson:
There we go. Good god. I lost all signal there for a bit. I don't know what the hell is going on under. Yeah. I don't know, dude. You just dropped out. Yep. I mean, I was just like, All of a sudden, nothing. And I was like, looked at it, and then I had the Apple, iPhone 15. You're able to actually if you need to talk emergency wise, you actually have the ability to connect to a satellite phone or disconnect to a satellite.
[00:52:22] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, really?
[00:52:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And so, that so it came up as, like, SOS and the satellite. Hell, I got when they took a screenshot of that one because I was like, son of a bitch. What the hell? So
[00:52:37] Duuude-Ron :
So are you parked yet? Are you still not down the road? No. No. I'm not. All good. Where are you parked at tonight?
[00:52:47] Rich Chelson:
I am in Bogota.
[00:52:51] Duuude-Ron :
Where the fuck that's at?
[00:52:53] Rich Chelson:
It is in between Mount Pleasant and Perris, Texas.
[00:52:59] Duuude-Ron :
What's the population?
[00:53:02] Rich Chelson:
Now you're asking a question that I About 1,200 ish. No. I'll tell you here real quick.
[00:53:11] Duuude-Ron :
I ain't never heard of it. I mean Of course, I don't go up and I don't go up into that area anyway. The furthest I get into that area is our store up in Athens.
[00:53:22] Rich Chelson:
Yep. Population of 1,074 according to the 2020 census.
[00:53:28] Duuude-Ron :
Alright. So they got all of what? Maybe one streetlight? Five stop signs?
[00:53:39] Rich Chelson:
I actually, I haven't well, the little section of town that I go through doesn't doesn't have any stoplights. So they've got a couple flashing lights, but that's about the extent of it.
[00:53:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Just identifying a highway intersection?
[00:53:54] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[00:53:55] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. I get plenty of those on.
[00:54:00] Unknown:
No? I think there's two.
[00:54:05] Duuude-Ron :
No. Not even that. On 36. I know I got a couple going down to more or Marble Falls.
[00:54:20] Rich Chelson:
Good old Paddock Falls. Oh, Frankster. What do you mean? Frankster. Do you have any?
[00:54:31] Unknown:
He's on wheeling this weekend?
[00:54:34] Unknown:
No. Oh, okay.
[00:54:37] Duuude-Ron :
I'm going to work on Saturday.
[00:54:39] Unknown:
Oh.
[00:54:42] Duuude-Ron :
I'm pulling the, the helium tube trailer up to Grand Prairie and picking up another one.
[00:54:49] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:54:50] Rich Chelson:
And gotta pay for that heating and air conditioning. You know?
[00:54:54] Duuude-Ron :
You know how much of a ballpark, the retail cost on helium is for a tube trailer?
[00:55:04] Rich Chelson:
Nah.
[00:55:06] Duuude-Ron :
$1,200,000.
[00:55:09] Rich Chelson:
For a tube? How many gallons does that thing hold?
[00:55:12] Duuude-Ron :
No. Compressed. Not liquid. Get compressed gas.
[00:55:18] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Okay. But, I mean, that's what they have in, like, the cylinder. The little cylinders you can bring out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That yeah. That's true. It's compressed gas.
[00:55:26] Duuude-Ron :
I think it's, fuck, 34,000 no. Okay. 17,000 cubic feet of compressed helium. Yeah. I'd I'd have to look at the the ticket when I get it on Saturday. But, yeah, the average cost of just the materials for the tube trailer is $1,200,000 for helium. No. That might be the liquid. No. That's the liquid trailer. I don't know what the high compression is. No. Yeah. 1,200,000.0 is the, cryogenic trailer that they get, up in Grand Prairie, and then they, you know, do all the pumping off of that, cryogenic trailer. That's what is $1,200,000 worth of product.
[00:56:28] Rich Chelson:
See, helium market has, has unique supply demand and storage dynamics leading to almost continual increases in prices. Over the last decade, helium demand has flatlined due to lack of supply against a backdrop of 30% global GDP growth rather than GDP linked helium demand growth with as with most commodities. The price has gone, has had to go up each year instead. Over the last twenty years, helium pricing has increased at a what is c a g r? Let's see here. What does that mean?
[00:57:09] Duuude-Ron :
C a g Look at What does what mean?
[00:57:12] Unknown:
CAGR. Don't give me the line. Yeah.
[00:57:20] Rich Chelson:
Increased at a c CAGR of eight percent. So let's see here. If we hit that and we do a lookup okay. A CAGR, California Grapes International. Oh, that's not it. Oh, it's a measurement of investments annual growth rate. I bet you that's probably what it stands for compound annual growth rate. That makes sense. Increased at a compounding compound annual growth rate of 8% reaching, around US, US dollars of 375 per million cubic feet late, 02/2022. This is around a hundred times current US natural gas pricing.
[00:58:20] Duuude-Ron :
Sure. Okay. I'll I will I'll have to agree with you on that because I have no fucking clue. That's why the cost of balloons are crazy.
[00:58:34] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well, that I mean, well, they use you do know you can actually funny thing about helium. You can actually I need a phone to stop working other than a pure helium environment. Because there are nanomachines in your phone, and one of them is a a little microscopic pendulum that helps the phone, the timing of the electronics and all.
[00:59:19] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[00:59:20] Rich Chelson:
Going. And but it is so small that a molecule of helium can actually get in there and jam up the works.
[00:59:31] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, wow.
[00:59:34] Rich Chelson:
Oh, and so what you have to do is if you find your phone stuck, you know, stops working because you're in a pure helium environment, which if you're, what actually caused people to realize this is, I think it's a in a there's a medical, machine. I I don't know if it is, MRI or or what, but, hang on, something like that, and it had a helium leak. And when people were working close to it, they noticed that their phone stopped working.
[01:00:09] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Well, it should have also been it also could have been in a with a bio bio atmospheric chamber.
[01:00:19] Rich Chelson:
Could've been. I mean, it whatever whatever they were in, it was a they're they were in a high helium content area. And Yeah. That was in there for a little while. Their phone would stop working, and they couldn't figure out what it was. And they sent messages over to over to Apple and and and Android or Samsung. And, it took them a long while to finally figure it out, and they were like, oh, yeah. It's that, it's that timing, pendulum.
[01:00:48] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[01:00:49] Duuude-Ron :
But, yeah, that would be a bile atmospheric chamber that they use for the BIMS.
[01:00:56] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. They do. They yeah. They'll often use it for that because, yeah, I don't remember watching. Oh, what it what was the the Jean Cousteau? He did something where he was he had gone down to a deep dive and part of the of it coming out was they were in this the bio at, pressure chamber and, you know, they were recording them and stuff. And so as they talked, they were in helium, so they were all funny sounding. As a kid, I thought it was just the funniest damn thing.
[01:01:29] Unknown:
Ew. Tell us Yeah. I
[01:01:35] Rich Chelson:
can't. I can't. So what else is happening, Rich? What's happening in your world? What's what's your big projects this last week?
[01:01:48] Unknown:
I just well, I went and, renewed my thing for my park that I go to, my pass because there's a park here. Yeah. That's that's normally where where I go to do my POTA activations. Right. And, I didn't realize, but it it it had lapsed. And so I went and checked and got that set up. So I'm back good for a a year.
[01:02:18] Rich Chelson:
Yay. You might definitely wanna be in the park's good graces.
[01:02:22] Unknown:
Well, yeah. Because it's well, you see the park is gated, so you're not gonna get in anyway.
[01:02:29] Unknown:
Oh, okay. You know?
[01:02:34] Unknown:
So yeah. Either way, you know, you're not gonna get there.
[01:02:40] Duuude-Ron :
So it's a private park?
[01:02:45] Unknown:
Excuse me. No. It's a state park. Believe it or not, it is a Mississippi State Park, but it is gated, and they charge $5 a day.
[01:03:01] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Sounds like, Powder Canyon. So To, to go use it. And,
[01:03:07] Unknown:
they normally use the honor system. So, like, if, you know, you show up there and no one's there, they got a box, you know, you know, put the dollars in it.
[01:03:17] Rich Chelson:
You know?
[01:03:18] Unknown:
And, everything like that. But, you know, if if you're someone like me who who will go into that park multiple times, you know, in a week or something like that, that get awful expensive. So I pay $42 a year For your pass. And, I get to go in anytime I want.
[01:03:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So Now I got, for the national parks, I don't know if you have that same pass. Yes. I do. As being a as being a veteran. Does that pass does that pass not allow for that particular park?
[01:04:03] Unknown:
No. That pass is only good for federal parks, not states.
[01:04:08] Duuude-Ron :
Well, it I got into a state. States want their money, damn it. Well Well, I got into a state park in Utah.
[01:04:16] Unknown:
Some states will accept it, but Mhmm. Not a lot of them.
[01:04:21] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:04:22] Unknown:
So, yeah, that's, yeah, because I had looked that up, you know, when I had gotten my pass, yeah, what, three, four years ago. Uh-huh. I'd looked it up in the state, you know, as far as states. And some state parks will take them, but most of them will not.
[01:04:41] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. So
[01:04:43] Unknown:
but either way, it's I mean, you know, this park, it's quiet. There's hardly anybody there. I mean, e even on the weekends, there's hardly anybody there. You don't see many people or it's just a nice little park.
[01:05:00] Duuude-Ron :
But I think. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because who wants to pay $5 to go to a park?
[01:05:07] Unknown:
Believe it or not, people do.
[01:05:10] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. Oh, I yeah. There there are people that do, but, you know, the majority will go to a free park versus paying for, you know, a membership or daily fee to go into the park. So
[01:05:27] Unknown:
I see. That's why I say, you know what? Have fun. Have fun with your bad self. Because,
[01:05:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. There you go. Into this one. You're going and enjoy yourself because it's nice and quiet.
[01:05:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, that believe it or not, this park has kept up. I mean, it's in fact, I drove through today, and, they've done a lot of clearing, clearing and a lot of work in there. It it looks it looks a whole lot nicer. I mean, it it looked nice last year, but it just looks even better now. Yeah. So but but, yeah, I did that and because it is starting to warm up. So, you know, I can I can go do, some POTA activations and shit like that, which that'll be fun?
[01:06:18] Duuude-Ron :
Some what activations?
[01:06:20] Unknown:

[01:06:45] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. It's it's Okay. Yeah. It's it's yeah. It's it's yeah. So it's right there by the Gulf.

[01:06:55] Bryan Goodwin:
of the ambiance boats? Yeah. That's in that park.
[01:07:00] Unknown:
Oh, okay. No. No. No. No. Is it not? I thought you said it was. No. There's there's a park there, but that's not the park that I'm going to. You would have to go probably another four miles west, four or five miles west by the waterway to hit to the park that I go to. So yeah. No. No. Where where I take pictures of the of the amphib ships and all like that, They, that's that's another park that's just right right down here by my house.
[01:07:40] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay. Yeah. I think corrected.
[01:07:45] Unknown:
But, no. It's it's, yeah, it got warm, so I, you know, figured I would, drive around and see things that that I hadn't looked at for a while. You know? Because I've been,
[01:08:02] Rich Chelson:
Hold up in your house.
[01:08:05] Unknown:
Yeah. Kinda hibernating. I mean, I still get out. Oh, and I finally found, eggs fairly cheaply.
[01:08:15] Duuude-Ron :
Was it at a farmer's market?
[01:08:17] Unknown:
Nope. It was in a grocery store.
[01:08:19] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah?
[01:08:21] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:08:22] Duuude-Ron :
Fine.
[01:08:23] Unknown:
$3.59 a dozen. So so yeah. Because and and it was funny. These are brown eggs. Right?
[01:08:37] Rich Chelson:
Yep. So you wanna
[01:08:39] Unknown:
for a $3.59 a dozen. The white eggs right below them, the ones everyone's buying are $6
[01:08:47] Bryan Goodwin:
or a dozen. Oh, yeah. It is. You go out in the country, I bet you could find someone selling heritage eggs. You could probably get them for about, $253. Right.
[01:09:04] Rich Chelson:
Well, and who gives a shit about what color from quail size eggs up to, you know, jumbos, but still.
[01:09:14] Unknown:
Dude, what was you gonna say?
[01:09:19] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, who gives a shit what the, shell color is? The yolk is still yellow.
[01:09:25] Unknown:
Right. Well, you see, though, that's the thing, though. A lot of people have been, brainwashed into, oh, white you know, only eat white eggs. You know? They're the you know? I I mean, everyone checks the eggs. It doesn't matter if they're white, brown, or whatever.
[01:09:43] Duuude-Ron :
Whatever I'm just checking for cracks myself. Well
[01:09:49] Unknown:
well, yeah, that's that's first thing I do is open it up right there in the store. And if I see a cracked one, I put the whole dozen back. Oh oh, yeah. Without a doubt. Yeah. No. But, but yeah. No. I I get I get, say, was it this week or was it yeah. I think it was this week. Went to the store and it's like and I was walking down where the eggs were at. And and, you know, since I was down there, I was like, well, let me look. And I had found this. It's it's the Farmhouse brand of eggs. I don't know if y'all ever heard them. No.
They were $3.59, and everything else was $4.59 up to 6 and over $6. I'm like, no. Give me the $3.59 ones. Yep.
[01:10:42] Duuude-Ron :
Do it. Here here here's the question, though. Do they taste the same? Of course, they do. Yep. Yes.
[01:10:51] Unknown:
Well, if yes, they taste, better. Oh, okay. Yeah. Because, brown eggs normally have a thicker yolk. Oh, okay. They have more flavor normally. Not always, but normally. Oh, okay. I did not know that. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. That's why that's why I get brown eggs, man.
[01:11:15] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:11:16] Unknown:
Yeah. It's
[01:11:17] Bryan Goodwin:
a And all this time, we just thought it was because you're cheap.
[01:11:21] Unknown:
Well, yeah, that's that's part of it, but now brown eggs brown eggs just just have a more robust flavor. And Gotcha. Oh, okay. Brown eggs and fried them up and fried white eggs up, you would taste the difference. Oh, okay. So because the white eggs feel or taste kinda just light and it's like, okay. Whatever. But the, brown eggs normally, they taste
[01:11:55] Unknown:
Brown.
[01:11:57] Unknown:
No. They don't taste brown.
[01:12:00] Duuude-Ron :
And the white eggs taste white.
[01:12:05] Unknown:
No. The white eggs definitely taste white. I don't I don't know really, but, hey, it just it there's a taste difference.
[01:12:16] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Yeah. I never knew that. I might have to look for brown eggs now.
[01:12:25] Unknown:
You've never had brown eggs?
[01:12:28] Duuude-Ron :
I'm sure I have. Alright. I don't know. I don't fucking remember the last time I had a brown egg, but it's you know? So
[01:12:41] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Find you some brown eggs, dude.
[01:12:44] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. And,
[01:12:46] Unknown:
get them. I I mean, like I said, I don't know if they sell this brand in in in your neck of the woods, but, farmhouse farmhouse eggs. And some of them might be brown with speckles on them. Okay? They're still farm. They're still good. Yeah. You know? Well,
[01:13:07] Duuude-Ron :
if I didn't live so damn far away from Patrick, he's got a whole fucking goddamn how many chickens does he have? I think he has, like, eight or 10 laying hens in his flock. He has a cup he has a couple roosters.
[01:13:29] Unknown:
Dude, you could take a drive down there and get a couple, two, three, four dozen. That'll be good for a month, unless you just eat eggs all the fucking time. No. I don't eat eggs all the time, but, you know Okay. And and now now you see the thing is what's funny. A lot of people think that that if they buy the eggs in the store, you know, within a week, they're bad. That's bullshit. Okay? And and, I mean, because I've kept eggs in my fridge. After I bought them at the store, I've kept them in my fridge for over a month.
[01:14:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[01:14:09] Unknown:
And they were just fine. But but most people will not.
[01:14:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And if you but if you don't clean them like, Patrick, whenever he gets whenever he pulls his eggs, he the first thing he does is clean them all. Now if they don't get cleaned properly, then, yes, they will spoil quickly.
[01:14:37] Unknown:
You know, I know someone who, had chickens, and she went and got eggs every day. And, as long as she didn't refrigerate them, the eggs lasted, three or four weeks outside of refrigerator.
[01:15:00] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Hey. But did she clean it? But I'm sure she cleaned them as soon as she, No.
[01:15:07] Unknown:
No? Really? Mhmm. Nope. Really? Nope. Never did. You know, most of them were clean already when they come out, but some some didn't. And, I mean yeah. No. It doesn't. Because you see, there's a thick membrane under that shell. You know, when you boil eggs and then you peel them, and then there's that thin membrane. Well, that Uh-huh. That thin membrane is actually really fucking thick because if it doesn't wanna come off the egg, it ain't gonna come off. Well, it'll come off. But but it's a Well, it but
[01:15:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But it's edible.
[01:15:51] Unknown:
So It don't taste good if you ask me. That's just my opinion, though. I don't No. I always take that membrane off. Make sure that that membrane because, I've I've eaten some, with that membrane on. And, yeah, I know. Mhmm. That's only on hard boiled eggs, though.
[01:16:13] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:16:14] Unknown:
You know, if I'm frying them, I crack I crack the bitches. Leave the yolks running. Oh my god. A good check.
[01:16:28] Duuude-Ron :
Hell, yeah. The best one is fucking over easy. Dip your toast into it. No.
[01:16:34] Unknown:
Sunny side up, dude. Oh, dude. You kill me, man. Sunny set up. I wanna see them yellow yellow mounds of goodness poking up.
[01:16:50] Duuude-Ron :
Those little yellow balls of sunshine?
[01:16:53] Unknown:
Yes. I wanna see them. You wanna flip them easy and make them hazy.
[01:17:04] Duuude-Ron :
Whichever. They taste good. The yolks taste good on toast. Well, yeah. Or or even on a fork too for that matter.
[01:17:14] Unknown:
Right. That also tastes good with biscuits.
[01:17:18] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I'll give you that. Well, you should you better fucking have bacon. Well, yeah. And what's better than bacon?
[01:17:28] Unknown:
More bacon.
[01:17:30] Duuude-Ron :
More bacon? That's right. That's right.
[01:17:35] Unknown:
You can throw in some saucy's gravy in there too. Absolutely. Yeah.
[01:17:43] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So, basically, so, basically, we just need to come to your place because you're making breakfast.
[01:17:49] Unknown:
Yep. Come on.
[01:17:51] Unknown:
And and Steve, come
[01:17:53] Duuude-Ron :

[01:18:00] Unknown:
You're making a waffle. I ain't making a waffle.
[01:18:04] Duuude-Ron :
No. That was the donkey in Shrek. Shrek. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. In the morning, I'm making waffles. Yeah. No. I'll no. I'll do you know, yeah, I could do, you know, sunny side up or whatever you just said about the eggs. Yeah. Sunny side up.
[01:18:28] Unknown:
I'd do them whichever way, but I prefer sunny side up if I'm doing them like that.
[01:18:37] Duuude-Ron :
But Right. Right. Yeah. You know, it's just Oh, I got
[01:18:42] Unknown:
Uh-huh. I gotcha. I gotcha. But, yeah, I did that and drove around and went to a few other parks and just looked around. Just just kinda enjoyed the day, man. Because I I mean, god dang. It was so beautiful.
[01:18:59] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yeah.
[01:19:01] Unknown:
So that's about that's about what I did today yesterday. I've been I've been I've been messing with my, AM radio antennas. I think I've got them dialed in. Finally? Well, no. No. It's no. No. My one, say, my one forty one footer, it's been up, oh, fuck, since last August.
[01:19:34] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh. And,
[01:19:36] Unknown:
yeah, the wind and everything finally broke the wire.
[01:19:40] Duuude-Ron :
So Oh, really? Okay.
[01:19:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Just because it sways in back and forth in the wind, it just it just broke the wire, and it it it just it wasn't working. So I was like, what the hell? And so I was like, I got the wild hair at my ass. I was like, well, I'm gonna make a 60 footer. Yeah. That didn't work out too well. And then, so so I went back to the 41 footer, and, I guess I had mismeasured. Had to say that slow. Otherwise, I was I was totally gonna fuck that one up.
[01:20:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[01:20:25] Unknown:
And so and so I had to do it all over again, but I've got it finally down, up, tuned, everything. So so I'm back good again. I can I can I can talk like I was because I got that one, and I've got a 25 foot Ribicoff, which is a vertical antenna?
[01:20:51] Duuude-Ron :
So Okay.
[01:20:54] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[01:20:57] Unknown:
Yeah. It's a it's a it's a 25 foot long wire on a four to one with, four ground planes underneath it. And it actually does pretty good, to be honest with you. Oh, yeah. Mhmm. It does. So but, yeah, I got that finalized and all like that. Made a couple of contacts today. Made a, let's see, one or two yesterday. Just fiddle farting around, basically.
[01:21:35] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:21:38] Unknown:
So but, yeah, it'll be probably next way into next year before I get my hex beam. I have pushed that to the back corner because I looked at my bills.
[01:22:00] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. And the bill man cometh.
[01:22:02] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. And I'm like, yeah. I got to do something about this. So I'm pushing all my projects off until probably summer of next year before I even start to think about them again and just concentrate on on getting my bills caught up and paid off. There you go. I've got a whole bunch of smaller bills that that if I just buckle down, you know, within the next four to five months, still I'll be paid off.
[01:22:37] Unknown:
Yeah.
[01:22:38] Duuude-Ron :
You know? But those are the ones that are the small ones or short ones are coming up and kicking a dick.
[01:22:45] Unknown:
Yes. They are, by god. It hurts.
[01:22:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Why? Yes. It does. I know. I just added $12,000 to mine. Right. That was that was not a happy fucking day.
[01:22:58] Unknown:
No. I know.
[01:23:00] Duuude-Ron :
It was a day that had to be done. I've been pushing that off now for a couple of years. But after after last summer, it's like, no. I can't go through that shit again.
[01:23:13] Unknown:
No, dude. No. I I mean, that's just, you know, that's just, yeah, rude.
[01:23:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But at least I'm not living in a hut in Africa and getting Africa hot.
[01:23:30] Unknown:
Right. Right. Well, I I think I think you would probably probably acclimatize to Africa pretty quick. I would hope.
[01:23:41] Duuude-Ron :
You know, it was a bitch in fucking Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
[01:23:46] Unknown:
Right.
[01:23:50] Duuude-Ron :
So, you know, who knows? But I I really don't plan on visiting Africa anytime soon or even in this lifetime. I got too much shit to see in The Fucking States.
[01:24:08] Unknown:
Right.
[01:24:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. One of my One of my bucket list things is to travel the Appalachian Trail. Right. That's what? 1,600 miles, 1,300 miles?
[01:24:23] Unknown:
Yeah. You know, take your time with it. The Yeah. You know, that'll take a month, month and a half.
[01:24:33] Duuude-Ron :
And if you walk it, it'll take you nine.
[01:24:37] Unknown:
Well, it's no. I I dude, I I never said nothing about that.
[01:24:43] Duuude-Ron :
Well, well, people actually do walk the entire Appalachian Trail.
[01:24:49] Unknown:
Oh, no. I believe you. I've I've I've I've seen where people say, oh, yeah. I walked the Appalachian Trail. Alright. You're a dumbass, but I'm happy for you. Yay. You know? I mean I mean, someone who would go for a walk about that that far. Yeah. No.
[01:25:11] Duuude-Ron :
Why? Because Fatboy ain't missing any meals?
[01:25:14] Unknown:
You're goddamn right Fatboy ain't missing any meals. And Fatboy ain't walking that far neither. It's not gonna happen.
[01:25:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right. I agree. I I ain't walking that motherfucker. No. No. Thank you. No. I'll drive it. Yeah.
[01:25:45] Unknown:
Yeah. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not I'm not knocking. Oh, did I tell you, dude, or Brian? I don't What's the deal? I told somebody, I think. I went I went and applied for my passport.
[01:26:03] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, we're we're talking about that on Tuesday.
[01:26:07] Unknown:
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I went I went and applied for my passport and, basically, just I mean, it's a simple, application. But, you know, once you get it done, you you pay the money and then, wait six to eight weeks.
[01:26:31] Unknown:
So Yeah. It's pretty easy.
[01:26:35] Duuude-Ron :
How long is a passport good for now?
[01:26:38] Unknown:
Ten years.
[01:26:39] Duuude-Ron :
Ten years. Okay. Yeah.
[01:26:42] Unknown:
And and I'm getting the book and the card.
[01:26:48] Duuude-Ron :
You can't I'm confused.
[01:26:50] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[01:26:51] Duuude-Ron :
So so the book being what everybody is used to as far as the passport, right, being the book? Yeah. What's the card?
[01:27:01] Unknown:
The card is used for let's say, I go to Canada and I drive from here to Canada.
[01:27:08] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:27:09] Unknown:
I can use the card instead of the book. If I go to Mexico, I can use the card instead of the book. If I go to The Bahamas, I can use the card. There's there's only a few places I can go and use the card. The rest of it, you have to use the book.
[01:27:31] Duuude-Ron :
Well, which makes it probably a little bit more convenient, like, if you're going on a cruise, you know, in in the Gulf area that you just have the card versus, you know, your paper passport.
[01:27:44] Unknown:
Well, you see, that's the thing. You know? Like like like, let's say you go to Aruba and Belize and all these other countries. No. You you would need the book. You couldn't use the card.
[01:27:55] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, really?
[01:27:57] Unknown:
Yes. No. No. I'm not. You see, the the card But it
[01:28:01] Duuude-Ron :
Go ahead. Go ahead. Alright. No. Go ahead.
[01:28:05] Unknown:
No. The card the card is mainly used for countries you can drive to from The United States or, like, close ports of call, you know, like The Bahamas. Okay? Right. It's just spitting distance off off of Florida. Right. You know? That looks Uh-huh. But but anywhere else further out, no. You have to have the book.
[01:28:32] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:28:33] Unknown:
So and plus and plus when you go overseas and whatnot, when you go to check into a hotel, you you, have to show your passport.
[01:28:48] Duuude-Ron :
Really?
[01:28:49] Unknown:
Yes. That's your ID. Oh, okay. And and yeah. Your driver's license picture and and address, they don't give two shits. They wanna see your passport.
[01:29:02] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. So Alright.
[01:29:06] Unknown:
But yeah. No. That's, but, yeah, passports are expensive too. They're like, say, altogether for the book, the card, and the, the other fee that goes along with it. Uh-huh. Altogether, it was, like, $2.10. It cost me, like, $2.10. Oh, okay. So but, I mean, it's, I mean, it's all good. So yeah. So I figured probably around June, July, probably get my passport.
[01:29:53] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Well saying. But at least at least you'll you will have it when it gets cold in Mississippi again so you can go wherever the hell you wanna go in the world that's warmer.
[01:30:09] Unknown:
Well, that's that was the biggest reason for me doing that.
[01:30:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I know it was.
[01:30:17] Unknown:
And and and see and see this is why also that that I'm trying to get these, smaller bills out the way. Well Yeah. So so so I can do this. You know? Yeah. And, I mean, I I did also have a, you know, another meaning for it because hurricane season's coming up. You know? And and if and if I would, for some reason, have to evacuate what I'm hearing right now, it's supposed to be, like, an average hurricane season. They're not talking about anything big. Uh-huh. So, but still, even if one hit, you know, and I had to leave, I would rather have the money in my bank rather than use a credit card.
[01:31:10] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Yeah. Uh-huh.
[01:31:12] Unknown:
So that's why yeah. I've got a dual purpose.
[01:31:16] Duuude-Ron :
But yeah. So yeah. But if you're if you're say it's, you know, hurricane is coming up, you know, protected path, whatever. So you're gonna go down to a Caribbean country that definitely is in the path.
[01:31:35] Unknown:
No. No. No. Dude, hurricane season is Haiti. No. No. Oh. Hurricane season is from June to November. Okay? So Okay. Hurricane hurricane season will be passed when I wanna go down south when it's cold up here.
[01:31:54] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:31:55] Unknown:
See see during hurricane season. No. I'm not going south into the storm. I'm going north to get away from it, dude.
[01:32:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I could let's just picture you in fucking Canada. I know you have driven a big rig up into Canada. Yeah. But I could not see you driving up to fucking Canada for anything. Oh, no. Well Maybe maybe some Canadian what's what's the liquor that they make up in Canada? Is it whiskey or no. It's not whiskey. Rye whiskey is is, normally what they make. Oh, okay.
[01:32:43] Unknown:
But, yeah, Canada really doesn't make too much. I mean, they do make whiskey, but, I mean, honestly, it's ours is better.
[01:32:53] Duuude-Ron :
Isn't it Canadian bourbon that I don't fuck I don't drink more than alcohol, so I don't fucking have a clue. There's a there's a Canada Mist or,
[01:33:05] Unknown:
god. What is it? I Yeah. Canadian Mist? Yeah. Canadian Mist. And there's there's one or two others. You can get some rye whiskey from up there, but now I mean, I don't know.
[01:33:20] Duuude-Ron :
Well, seeing as how I don't drink whiskey, but I would still like to go take the tour of the fucking Jack Daniels distillery. However, you can't buy anything, any alcohol at the distillery.
[01:33:35] Unknown:
Right. I know. It's a dry county.
[01:33:38] Duuude-Ron :
Because it's a dry county. Yep. But I would still like to love to go tour that distillery one day.

Now it's the armadillos. They're competing with the skunks.
[01:44:04] Rich Chelson:
The armored skunks.
[01:44:06] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Uh-huh. Yep. There's more and more of those when I go up 36 to Gavilan. Got a good amount of armadels on the side of the road. I guess the next ones they're gonna compete are the, feral hogs. I've seen a couple of those as well.
[01:44:32] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Someone went apparently did some, did some hunting in on 287. There is, like, six or seven of them being dumped off on the side of the highway. It's like, yeah.
[01:44:49] Duuude-Ron :
But my wife I don't even think
[01:44:51] Rich Chelson:
a buzzer will touch those. I don't think so either because good grief. They've been sitting there for a while and and yet they see any any buzzers around.
[01:45:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Yeah. But the skunks, the armadillos, and, you know, that other stuff. We got buzzards all around, but not the hogs. I watched a hawk today when I was just happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye. You know how when they have their wings folded in a dive Uh-huh. Going after their prey? I saw one going up in that same configuration and was, like, the wind was blowing just hard enough to where he was floating, just stand flying still, not moving whatsoever. I'm like, man, that was fucking cool. And then he finally got up and landed on the top of a telephone pole, but it was just like watching him and just being in flight but not moving in the in the attack position of his wings.
I was like, that was fucking cool.
[01:46:12] Unknown:
That does sound cool.
[01:46:18] Duuude-Ron :
So what do you think about all the protesters for, at the Trump Towers because they, arrested that What was the Brad student that, organized that, protest.
[01:46:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh, the dude, they they can't they, the the Arabic dude, they found out of the revoked his, his student visa?
[01:46:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Columbia.
[01:46:47] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Columbia. Yeah. Oh, no. I think they did the right thing. I mean, hell, if you invite somebody in and they started trying to burn down your toilet, you know, you would kick them out of the house. So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think, I think you're sitting there calling, calling some of your some of the, the family members, horrible names and and demanded that, we kick the, kick the the baby of the family out of the house. I'll be going, alright, dude. You you go ahead and see yourself out. Yep. Your your invitation has been rescinded.
[01:47:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Really. And now they've, stopped all federal funding to, Columbia. And there's a couple other universities that are following suit protests as well.
[01:47:35] Unknown:
Oh, yeah.
[01:47:37] Duuude-Ron :
Am I I think, what it was at? Brown University was another one that, has gotten their, federal funding stopped. It's like, oh god. Let's see. Maybe the students will have to fucking pick up the bill then. I don't think any of them should be getting federally funded.
[01:47:58] Unknown:
No.
[01:48:03] Rich Chelson:
I don't think so either.
[01:48:05] Unknown:
Well, you know, no. They can get fed, what, to colleges or to students?
[01:48:10] Rich Chelson:
I don't think the colleges should be federally funded.
[01:48:13] Unknown:
Oh, no. No. I agree.
[01:48:16] Duuude-Ron :
I mean Now I mean Now student? Yeah. Okay. I agree with scholarships for students. And, also, you know, if you apply for, not a scholarship, but, what's the other thing called? It's not a scholarship. But, you know, if you do it the process the correct way with the applying for the funds through the federal government, yeah, if those government or if those agencies, you know, allow that, by all means, I would do the same damn thing if I went to school. I'd be applying for the fucking grants and subsidies and all that that I could use, but I ain't gonna abuse the fucking system either.
[01:49:19] Unknown:
Right. But no. I mean, either way, that's fine. You know? Let the students, yeah, get funded. But, the individual colleges should not be able to apply for, you know, funding because they're already getting the money from the students. I mean, they don't cost $20,000 to to have a student go to school there. I mean, yes, I understand their salaries paying all like this, but this is why they have boosters and alumni and shit like this. You know?
[01:49:53] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:49:56] Unknown:
So, you know, I mean I mean, you know, if a kid's paying $20,000 a a year to go to school, you know, add that up for, you know, what, 4, 5 hundred, or a thousand, or 2,000 students, or however big the college is. You know? That's why did that get money.
[01:50:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yep.
[01:50:23] Unknown:
But, yeah, they're like, oh, no. We can't keep the lights on. Why the fuck not? Get another accountant.
[01:50:29] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. Exactly.
[01:50:33] Unknown:
You know? Yeah. Fire ant fire ant Betty and get and get one of your students that you're teaching.
[01:50:43] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:50:48] Unknown:
Yeah. That's I mean, that's that's where I'm at on that.
[01:50:53] Duuude-Ron :
I agree. Yep. I will agree with you, gentlemen.
[01:51:11] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I haven't kept up with what's I didn't even know about that protest.
[01:51:22] Duuude-Ron :
No. It's it was pretty well, on the news. The one in, Columbia, not the one in, Brown. But now because that guy that that grad student that initiated that protest, now Trump Towers have protesters outside Trump Towers wanting him to be released. It's like, no. And if you want to assemble without having the proper permits, I guess it's time for you to go to jail as well.
[01:52:01] Unknown:
Well, I mean I mean, you say what you say that's the thing. Trump's in in in Washington, DC. The office of the president is in Washington, DC. Why are you gonna go to one of his businesses and protest? I mean, what's what's it? I I
[01:52:21] Rich Chelson:
explain it to me, I guess. Because they can't get close enough to the, to the White House. So they gotta do it do it to something that represent that's got the word Trump in it. Oh my god. You know, it'd be fun. The whole thing. It's a really, really hardball. You ought to start doing. You see a bunch of them, protesting Trump? Start start walking around with a bunch of, playing cards. Just start handing those out to him too and watch him wig out. Hand out what? About what? Playing cards. A deck of playing cards. What is one of the playing cards often have?
[01:53:02] Unknown:
What does that have to do with anything?
[01:53:04] Rich Chelson:
Trump. Trump. The playing card Trump playing cards. Have you not ever seen the the black, the the ace of spades usually says Trump on it? I've never seen the word Trump on on a deck. Oh, yeah. I've always seen Trump on on the playing cards.
[01:53:23] Unknown:
I never have.
[01:53:24] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay. Well, I mean, I'm not I'm not It's a it's a joke that got that got die that died sadly. Oh, well. My aunt's try again later. I'll come up with something else that's out of the left field to throw you off for a loop.
[01:53:40] Unknown:
I'm sorry, dude. I yeah. I Just tell me what I'm talking about.
[01:53:45] Unknown:
I'm just telling somebody
[01:53:48] Unknown:
Okay. Okay. I wasn't I wasn't getting it. I was like, I'm I'm I'm just I mean, I took you seriously. Like, I've never seen I was like, what the hell? Oh my gosh.
[01:54:02] Rich Chelson:
Oh, it's
[01:54:03] Unknown:
Oh, lord. Okay. Yeah. I I was I was a tad slow.
[01:54:14] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, and also going into politics, you see what they did to Al Green?
[01:54:20] Rich Chelson:
I know they censored him, but that was about all I thought. They, yeah, they censored and sanctioned the hell out of him.
[01:54:29] Duuude-Ron :
They're trying to get to a point where he's not gonna be allowed on any committees.
[01:54:36] Unknown:
Well well, as far as I know, being censured, you're not allowed on any committees. Right?
[01:54:43] Duuude-Ron :
You know, I don't know how that process works.
[01:54:47] Unknown:
Well, the re the reason I'm saying is because when they censured Marjorie Taylor Greene, they, basically removed her from any and all committees.
[01:55:00] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:55:01] Unknown:
Again, I don't know how that process worked. Well, I mean, I don't either. I just that's just what I'd heard that that when they censured her that that, yeah, she didn't yeah. She can't I mean, she can still, I guess, serve her district or whatnot, but,
[01:55:21] Unknown:
you know?
[01:55:24] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know why those people vote for him and AOC and Ingmar, whatever the hell her name is. Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff. You know, what the fuck are those people thinking?
[01:55:42] Unknown:
Because they told them they would give them handouts. That's how they got the votes.
[01:55:53] Duuude-Ron :
Wonder if any of any of them have actually successfully gotten any handouts.
[01:56:00] Unknown:
Oh, I don't know, dude. But but, yeah, basically, it's just yeah. They're saying, well, you know, well and and this is, you know, why when the Democrats took over, you know, the, the, the, Democratic Party, basically, in congress, they were like, well, we'll we'll make sure to make it better for you, make it better for you, which all they did was raise, you know, the cost of living and all like that. You know? So you you know? And then, you know, they're like, oh, we're still doing good for you. We're and now it was it was a bait and switch is what it was. Yeah. People fell for it.
[01:56:51] Duuude-Ron :
And I guess those stupid people keep falling for it every time freaking elections come up.
[01:56:57] Unknown:
Well, they didn't in in in this last one.
[01:57:04] Duuude-Ron :
So Well, hopefully, in the midterm elections, none of them fucking people get voted back in.
[01:57:15] Unknown:
Well, I don't know who's up in the midterms. I mean Oh, neither do I. I mean I mean, as long as as long as we don't, lose control of the house or the senate, I don't care what they do. You know? Well
[01:57:36] Duuude-Ron :
well, it'd be nice though to see fucking AOC, Go, Schumer, Schiff, Pelosi, you know, all those people just fucking go.
[01:57:48] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. No. It would. It would. But, you know, as long as we maintain control, they can't really do anything.
[01:58:05] Duuude-Ron :
Well well yeah.
[01:58:07] Unknown:
Except whine and cry.
[01:58:11] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, and they're doing a lot of that fucking shit.
[01:58:14] Unknown:
Well, I mean, I mean, that dude, people Why? Cry all the freaking time. You know? They whine and be crying like little bitches. Yeah. Well, that's that's what people do. So, I mean, you know, that's why that's why it's like, you know what? I don't care.
[01:58:31] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Well, look at me. I whine crying, bitch.
[01:58:35] Unknown:
Right.
[01:58:39] Rich Chelson:
So And we're okay with you being doing that.
[01:58:42] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. Sure. I I I don't have a problem with that.
[01:58:47] Rich Chelson:
You know? I mean, sometimes you get a little out of hand, and we have to offer you a titty, but that's about the worst of it.
[01:58:55] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[01:58:58] Unknown:
Yep. So,
[01:59:04] Duuude-Ron :
well, it is that time for the tip of the day. It is not. However however, today is not going to be a tip. It's going to be a question. And I want you guys' you know, input on it. So question number one is, who let the dogs out? You know that song who let the dogs out? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Who let the dogs out?
[01:59:38] Rich Chelson:
I don't know. My damn kids because they wouldn't shut the front door.
[01:59:46] Unknown:
I was gonna say, I ain't got a dog, so I don't know.
[01:59:50] Duuude-Ron :
You know, it's just the the question that, you know, I was pondering is like, who the hell let the dogs out? Well, I can't answer it either. So I know you guys just couldn't answer it. I I can't answer the question either. So but it is a good question, though. Yeah. It is. Yeah. You was hoping we would answer it, and you'd be just like, yeah. Yeah. That's right.
[02:00:17] Unknown:
Okay. What's what's your other question?
[02:00:20] Duuude-Ron :
Other question is is what and I think we have probably discussed this many times before. Why is it that stupid people are allowed to breed?
[02:00:36] Rich Chelson:
Because it's easy, and they don't need a card to be able to play hide the baloney.
[02:00:44] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:00:47] Duuude-Ron :
Now granted, I'm sure that, you know, some of them can create geniuses. You know, that that's a good possibility, but still, why are stupid people allowed to breed? It's just just one of those questions of the universe that will never get answered. But, you know, I just thought I'd I just thought I'd just throw it out there. So you know? But next week, I'll I'll have a tip of the week versus a question. So those just kinda popped into my mind and, you know, had to throw them out there.
[02:01:36] Unknown:
Okay. Well, if there's if there's, anyone listening that that knows the answers to either one of these questions, please, by all means, send us an email, [email protected] or [email protected]. We would love to hear your input.

You still been fighting that. Well, finally, in, on, January seventeenth of this year, Carvana sent it to the state of Mississippi. The state of Mississippi received it on January twenty first of this year at 08:42 in the morning. Right?
[02:04:56] Unknown:
K.
[02:04:57] Unknown:
Okay. Now, just a few days ago because I had been calling trying to find out where this is at. And I, you know, you know, everyone up up at the state level here in Mississippi, oh, you know, we haven't found it yet. Give us more time. Give us more time. Well, come to find out say this would say this is the thirteenth, so it was probably, last week or the first part of this week, either way, come to find out Mississippi finally got hold of the title on February 17. And I don't know exactly how long it takes to process a title, a simple title, but it's still not done. But the state of Mississippi has the title to my Jeep in their hands.
So as soon as they get it processed, I can go down and get my plates renewed, and I'm fine.
[02:06:13] Duuude-Ron :
And that had to been done by what date?
[02:06:18] Unknown:
March 31. In other words, another 18. Holy crap.
[02:06:27] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. It's called take cutting it close.
[02:06:32] Unknown:
Yeah. I know. It's like I mean, this all this all started last year.
[02:06:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You know? This I mean Because you yeah. Because you said if they didn't get the title, you would not be able to renew your registration.
[02:06:47] Unknown:
Right. Right. Uh-huh. So, yeah, I just found out since this Thursday. I see. I I wanna say it was Tuesday. I finally got a hold of the girl over over here in, Pascagoula at the at the T. A. G. Office because I had been trying to call the state tag or, yeah, the state title division for, like, the last two weeks, and I haven't been able to get through. So I called, this girl over here for Jackson County, and I told her what was going on. You know? And I said I said I said, ma'am, I said I said, I've been I've been trying to get ahold of state and work with them and everything. I said, but I can't find anything out. You know? And she says, well, okay. Let me have your number.
Let me do some checking, and I'll call you back. It might not be today, but I'll call you back. I said, okay. That's fine. You know? Whatever. Just find me some information. And so she called me back about 05:00 that evening and, told me that, yes, it is being processed and all like this. And I and I said, hold it. Are you telling me the state of Mississippi has my title? She's like, yes, sir. Thank you. That's what I wanted to know. Because however long it takes to process I mean, I don't know if they're, you know, making the ink or whatnot to print the title with.
Yeah. You know? But, hey, it's here in the state. It's getting processed. It'll As well. Become a Mississippi title. And as soon as that happens, I can, renew my plates, and I'd be good.
[02:08:38] Duuude-Ron :
Well, now that you talked to the girl from the actual registration office, since it is here, it may not get finished processing. Will they let you renew your tags knowing that the title is in the state of Mississippi?
[02:09:04] Unknown:
No. They will not.
[02:09:06] Duuude-Ron :
Or does it have to be finalized?
[02:09:08] Unknown:
I'm I'm almost sure it has to be finalized because on the registration, okay, that is printed, there is a space for a title number. And the one I have currently right now doesn't have a title number on it. So I've got to have a title number on that registration.
[02:09:36] Rich Chelson:
Now I don't know what I'm saying. To write one on there. That'll work.
[02:09:40] Unknown:
Yeah. There you go. Make sure to use black ink. Right? Exactly. Yeah.
[02:09:45] Rich Chelson:
You know, but yeah. No. That's Oh, use that green sparkly gel shit. It it'll stand out.
[02:09:52] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. Blind the cop as he's looking at it. You know? But yeah. No. They either way, I mean, if it doesn't get done by the March, you know, if it's April, I'll get charged was it 15% as a late fee or whatnot?
[02:10:22] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:10:23] Unknown:
Okay. But that for me, that's not bad because I only pay a dollar.
[02:10:30] Rich Chelson:
Alright. P is a puffed 15, man.
[02:10:34] Unknown:
A dollar 15. God, no. I can't I can't afford that. You know? I mean, I only pay a dollar for my, tags. So
[02:10:47] Duuude-Ron :
Well, my cheapest vehicle has being a disabled vet. The Aspen, I paid $15 for that one, and then all the rest of the vehicles is just a regular registration fee. Texas only does it for one vehicle. Now all the vehicles that I have can have DV plates, but I only get one of them that gets that privilege to pay $15 for the annual registration.
[02:11:25] Unknown:
I, yeah, I can have two vehicles, with a disabled vet registration, and and be fine. Anything over that, then it's normal. Regular price.
[02:11:41] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, so Mississippi, they they allow you too to have the, discount.
[02:11:47] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[02:11:48] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Texas is only one.
[02:11:53] Unknown:
So but, yeah, either way so, yeah, 15%, I it's like, yeah. I think I think I can afford 15¢. I mean and and I think they charge, like, a a card fee of, like, 3%. So Yeah. You know you know, a total of, what, $18.20 cents, maybe? I think I can pay that. Or I might just take cash up there.
[02:12:36] Duuude-Ron :
Cash works for me. Yep.
[02:12:39] Unknown:
I don't know. It just I'm just I'm I'm just glad to finally even though I've got, you know, I I've got the printout of the confirmation from FedEx that it was delivered, hearing hearing someone else tell me, someone that works in that system saying, yes. Your title is in this state. I'm good. You know? Yeah. Yes. I would love to have my tags renewed by the March. I really would. But, you know, if I wind up and have to go into April, I'll just have to drive cautiously because I could get a ticket for it.
[02:13:24] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:13:26] Unknown:
And I don't know how much that would cost. I'm not really wanting to find out.
[02:13:36] Duuude-Ron :
But why not? Well and and most most states give a leniency anyway.
[02:13:42] Unknown:
Mississippi, they give you till the fifteenth of the following month before they charge you the the extra. Oh, uh-huh. They say you can, you can still receive a ticket for it, though. So, yeah, they do give you a grace period to get your tags, but you still run a risk of, getting a ticket.
[02:14:11] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And then, hopefully, by the time you go to court, everything's good to go, and they'll probably throw it out anyway.
[02:14:18] Unknown:
Well, I'm hoping I don't have to even worry about
[02:14:21] Unknown:
that. Well, that's true.
[02:14:23] Unknown:
This is true too. I mean, that's my goal. And, I mean, I mean, honestly, here in town, I mean, I've seen I've seen so many cars driving with no license plate, expired tags. I mean, I I I mean, there's enough people in this town. I stand a pretty good chance of not getting caught, but this is me we're talking about.
[02:14:53] Duuude-Ron :
Well and you don't do anything to, you know, draw attention to yourself either.
[02:14:58] Unknown:
No. No. That is one thing I do not do. I take I take lessons from you, dude. I I I lurk in the shadows.
[02:15:14] Duuude-Ron :
The shadow knows.
[02:15:16] Unknown:
That's right. But so yeah. No. It but, yeah, it's this has been going on since last year, and I am so glad this is almost over.
[02:15:34] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. This has been going on since you transferred from Missouri
[02:15:40] Unknown:
Yep. To Mississippi. Yep. Can you see the thing is in Missouri now now check this out. Once I get my Jeep license in Mississippi, okay, I could go back up to Missouri. I mean, I won't, but I could relicense my my Jeep in Missouri. Right? The only thing Missouri would tell me is, you know, because they would ask me if I have the title. I said no. You know, it's with the lienholder. And they're like, well, all you have to do is make sure it has a Missouri title before you sell it. So in other words, I could wait, pay it off, license it in Missouri, you know, for the next four years.
And then when it gets paid off, transfer it to Missouri, then I could sell the Jeep. Not Mississippi. No. You they want that title in Mississippi's name before they'll relicense the vehicle, which I thought was kinda different. You know? It well, it was something I wasn't used to is what it would you know, what it is.
[02:17:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:17:04] Unknown:
So
[02:17:13] Duuude-Ron :
so yeah. Hopefully, that'll be done before the end of the month, and you won't have any issues to contend with.
[02:17:19] Unknown:
I'm hoping so. Trust me. I'm hoping so. But, you know, like I said, it was a a say a big weight was lifted off when I found out my title was here. So Yeah. And and, you know, because, I had read a lot of people having problems getting titles and stuff like this. And, yeah, is it I mean, the thing is, Carvana does not give the information needed in order to do, you know, transfer titles. They're not forthcoming with the proper information. I I had to make multiple phone calls and drag it out of the, Carvana people. So
[02:18:10] Duuude-Ron :
And I Yeah. Because I got because stupid people have bred in the past, and that was the outcome.
[02:18:20] Unknown:
Right.
[02:18:21] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:18:24] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah.
[02:18:26] Unknown:
No. I mean, I yeah. I just yeah. Trying to get the the right address, phone number, and and person to talk to, and then I had gotten an email address, which I've got somewhere written down on my papers. Because, when I found this email address, I called I called Jackson County, and I said I said, here, honey. Use this email address and send them a move request. This will be faster. And that's when things started moving.
[02:19:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:19:04] Unknown:
So so, yeah, that's, yeah. Once I figured out and that was what? December, January when I found that information? So I just I was I was passing that shit on quick because I, you know, I was trying to get things done.
[02:19:28] Unknown:
So
[02:19:29] Unknown:
but it's all good. I'll be real happy here soon, And I will let y'all know when it happens. I promise. I've I've got the email address somewhere. I can't find it right now. That's okay. That's okay. And then I can close this part of my chapter and work on I've got I've got all my all my supplies for, hurricane season. You know? I just I just have to keep stocked up on water, you know, which that's not a big deal. But, you know, I got gas, and I'll, yeah, I'll fire up my generator here probably next month or so, make sure it's all good to go, ready to rock just in case.

[02:33:09] Unknown:
Well, that's that's, that's what it's saying because Fox News is saying, it's it's it's a flop, and it's boring. So Jesse Waters from Fox News says, yeah, so far it's been a flop. They've got, like, nine episodes out. So so, apparently,
[02:33:30] Rich Chelson:
our podcast is doing better than theirs. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. Well, it depends on what their definition of flop is. Their flop may be they haven't reached a million downloads per episode yet. Oh, well, yeah. Though they may be getting five, you know, 50,000.
[02:33:48] Unknown:
So Yeah. We're we're not yeah. We're not there yet.
[02:33:52] Rich Chelson:

[02:34:01] Rich Chelson:
So, now but do you y'all have heard that, there's a podcast. It's actually the the the left is celebrate. They've because the well, the left has been been wanting to bump Joe Rogan out of the top spot since 2020.
[02:34:28] Unknown:
And they finally did it.
[02:34:31] Rich Chelson:
Well, they finally did it.
[02:34:33] Unknown:
How?
[02:34:34] Rich Chelson:
How? There is a a show called the Midas Touch. Okay. And what it is, it's, it's a play on the brothers it's two brothers. His last name is Midas. But what they're doing is they're they're basically playing the numbers game. They're cutting out 15 around 15 episodes a day of about five, ten minutes, and they're all just click baity. You wouldn't believe what Trump is doing now. You know? What is Doge do you know, Doge has done completely you know, Doge has destroyed The US by doing this, you know, doing a whole bunch of just click baity little five to ten minute episode. And they spread them out 15 about 15 of them a day. And each one of them gets roughly about a million downloads because it's all YouTube based.
[02:35:32] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:35:35] Rich Chelson:
And so but they do have an actual podcast. You can't actually get it through RSS feed. So it is a a a legit, podcast, but they're also counting all the, all the hits and views that they get from from YouTube. Right. And so they're getting, you know, a million a million views per episode because they're usually kinda short and quippy and can and a lot of them are can, can be almost used as a short. And so that's how they're going. Boom. We're you were more and more popular than Joe Rogan. And because the because they're wanting the the left is wanting so desperately to topple Joe Rogan. They're looking for the liberal the Democrat version of a Joe Rogan.
And the funny thing is is they had a Democrat version of Joe Rogan. His name was Joe Rogan.
[02:36:33] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[02:36:34] Rich Chelson:
It wasn't until, you know, they were talking during until, till the COVID days. And he was actually asking insightful questions that the left was, like, left the left left Joe Rogan. And Joe Rogan was like, well, hell. The the right seems to be interested and curious about all the stuff that I'm asking about. So, you know, so they he was just like, alright. Well, cool. I'll just, I'll just join in with, with them. I'll talk with them and stuff. And and so that's how he they he became known as being right wing when in all reality well, it's like Elon Musk. Elon Musk isn't a a Republican.
[02:37:30] Unknown:

[02:38:03] Rich Chelson:
He's realized that that, again, because he was he wasn't buying all the bullshit that the left was touting and that and the fact that he bought up Twitter, their little bastion of of a of an echo chamber and turned it back into a a a more of a center of free speech. It's not a % because he's kicked off a lot of right right wings and a lot of left wing people. A lot of people at the at the extremes, he's bumped them off. But at the same time, he because he went off and bought Twitter, they were like, you know what? We don't wanna have anything to do with Elon. And, you know, I was like, oh, okay. Cool. Well, the right seems to be alright with what I'm doing. So I'll go hang out with them until the right goes off and does the same thing as what, what the left is doing, which, I mean, they are doing that. They're starting to do that already.
Starting to cancel people just because of their views.
[02:39:14] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. Some of the videos that have been popping up on TikTok, they're showing these Karens or or these people, not just Karens. Ken as as dude called them, you know, throwing a fit, for no reason thinking thinking they're above the law and everything. And, you know, I've watched a few of them, and and it's crazy because, these cops you know, like like, this one I just watched, a cop stopped this lady, and this lady is like, I'm trying to get over here to pick up my daughter, and she just takes off and goes on. Well, they run their car, catch up to her, and this girl's on her phone saying, you know, talking to whoever and then, telling the cop, I'm I'm just trying to get my blah blah blah.
And, the cop was, you know, trying to explain to her, look. You were stopped for a reason. And and they kept having this fucking discussion, and I'm like, shut the fuck up, pull her out the car, throw the cuffs on her, and throw her in the back seat.
[02:42:59] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:43:01] Unknown:
Stop. You see, that's the problem. Just stop. She broke the law. She fled the scene of a traffic stop. You've got her on fucking multiple counts here. Just yank her out the car, throw the cuffs on her, and throw her in the back of the fucking car. Yep. You know? I mean, I'm I'm not saying beat her or, you know, anything like this, but and and and you don't really you don't have to hurt her. Just grab her, yank her out the car because, one, she'll be shocked. You know? So it'll be easy to subdue her, put the cuffs on, and put her in the back of the car, walk away. You know? And but no.
They stand there and and go with this, banter back and forth. And I'm like, god. Y'all are just man, this you see, this is what I don't get about people. It's like, why do y'all wanna sit here and fucking talk about it? Let's get down to the nut cutting.
[02:44:10] Unknown:

[02:44:11] Unknown:
You know? You know, if it's something that that can be talked about, great. Let's talk it out. Okay? But when you're trying to explain to someone and they're not listening, fuck it. Walk away or or or a let's get to the nut cutting. I don't care. I ain't I ain't got time to dance. You know? Right. It's too short. You're harshing my buzz, man.

[02:45:04] Unknown:
Oh, my god. It was funny. This cop stopped this one lady, and this lady got out. She was standing up against the the strip mall. And, I mean, the cop was trying to explain to her, ma'am, you crossed the line on the street. That's why I pulled in and stalked you. And the girl was acting like she was having a panic attack. Oh my god. You know? And and just and it was, it it was it was sickening. Then they finally get her in the back of the car. Right? You know? Because, this, this lady, don't you touch me. Don't you touch me. I'm scared. I'm scared for a man to touch me. Someone call the cops. There's a cop standing right in front of her. You know? And it's like, oh my god. People are just yeah. I I I don't know, man.

Everyone everyone's been been yelling about the tariffs we put on Canada, but no one realized the tariffs Canada already had in place on goods coming in from Canada to The US. They think, oh my god. Trump's the mean worst man that Canada's had had I mean, I'm talking 200% tariffs, 50%

[02:56:09] Unknown:
And that's just a protectionist.
[02:56:12] Rich Chelson:
They're just trying to protect because they're We're farmers. Right. But okay. I get it. Yeah. Might wanna try to protect the farmer, but at the same time, I mean, you're you're gonna
[02:56:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Bitch about stuff, then then, yeah, you're gonna they it could be done back the opposite direction.
[02:56:33] Unknown:
Yeah. But but, see, that's the thing. That's saying a lot of people here in America is like, oh, poor Canada. Poor Canada. No. Canada started it first. Yep. We just let him get away with it and finally said, nope. That's it. You're done. Yep.
[02:56:51] Bryan Goodwin:
So but that's one of the good things about how about, about The US. We are we have all sorts of great and grand, wonderful ways that, we can provide value, to other people. And by gosh, did you know you can actually provide value for us? Because we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna wrap this bad boy up because we're at just about 10:00. So so, anyhow, guys, I wanna say thank you very much to everyone listening and to, for taking the opportunity to hear what, three knuckleheads have to say about, about the world, about, what's going on. And even from time to time, we bitch about people being on our grass. So, we we have a, but we all do it just mainly out of fun just because it gives us a chance to be able to, have a little bit of, camaraderie with each other because we're all three good friends. We like to hang out with each other. We like to talk with each other, and we like to like to yuck it up from time to time. And we even all we even do it all completely sober majority of the time. So and I I have to because we do it on Thursdays, and I'm I'm I'm, and I'm in a truck. So I I I can't I could get south in the truck if I wanted to. I just couldn't have the beer cans and or whatever in the truck when I go to move, but that's too much work. I just don't care to do that. So, you know, it's easier just to stay sober.
So but but, anyhow, so now it is our our show is one that is pretty unique in that we're not here to do, a show to make millions of dollars. We're not even here to do a show to make tens of dollars. We would like to make tens of dollars, but, you know, if we don't, that's okay. We're not gonna cry a whole lot about it, but we are a value for value show, which means that we if you found any inkling of value, throw a value throw, however much you think the value is, and you can pay it back. We are a value for value show. Now what do I mean by that? There's some of y'all who are going, oh my god. He's asking for money. Well, I mean, if you wanna give treasure, sweet. Awesome. Thank you very much. We're not gonna we're not gonna pooh pooh you for throwing, you know, however many dollars you think our show is worth to listen to. Well, you can go over to, if you've got a modern podcasting app like Podcast Guru or the fountain app or truefans.fm, there is a, a support the show button. You can hit that, and that'll actually bring up a, our our PayPal page.
And there you can set up a monetary donation or monetary support of, whatever you feel the the value is. And you can set that up for a one time or reoccurring, donation. And, again, we would want whatever it is is completely up to you, and we're absolutely, blessed that you decided to do that. But if, say, the some people are are saying the the economy as being a little rough, I on all reality, I'm one of those that's going, yeah. Okay. Things are getting a little tight around here. And you still wanna be able to show your appreciation for the show.
That's where the other two types of of providing value for the show come in because it's not just treasure, but it's your time, talent, and treasures. You know, there's there's total of three t's in there. You can throw in time. So if you wanna to help, by taking some time and setting up the, the chapters on the, for the show, You're more than welcome to go through and and configure the the chapters for each show and and send them over to us, and we'll get them all all taken care of. Or if you wanted, if you're got a talent for creating, cover arts and and chapter art, then you could do that too. And it's all an easy thing to be able to, to to do. All you all you have to do is decide how you want to, how you wanna do that. The only we I mean, we have some small requirements and that it needs to be a square at least 1,500 by 1,500 square image.
But, but other than that, it's, you know, it's whatever whatever you would like to send as as chapter art. And so with that, I mean, that's that's the way you can help the show continue on. Because if you give if you do provide first, then we're not just taking it and going, we're off to Aruba. We go. So that's probably where, where Rich is gonna run off. We can, but we will actually take this and help just to make sure the show keeps, keeps running. So we end up paying the hosting fees and things like that. But, but at the same time, we if you wanna be able to help in any way you want in any way possible, you could do so by going, and shooting an email over to either, me.
My, email address is circlecast, c I r c l e c a s t, at g mail dot com. Riches czarchelson at g mail dot com, and that's, c h e l s o n. And if you wanna get ahold of the dude, just send an email over to me or Rich, either one, and, because our emails are a lot easier to remember than the dudes. So if, if with with that, if you're had any comments, questions, insights, thoughts, you know, name them, name whatever, you can, also send this, send an email to us that way, and we'd love to hear from you and hear what and and like to answer those on on the show. So, anyhow, with that, I'm gonna go ahead and pass it on over to Rich. What do you gotta say?
[03:03:23] Unknown:
Oh, not too much. I gotta I gotta say I loved your transition there.
[03:03:29] Bryan Goodwin:

[00:02:14] Unknown:

Yeah.
[00:02:34] Unknown:
Yeah. I
[00:02:35] Unknown:

[00:02:42] Rich Chelson:
that. Oh, bad.
[00:02:43] Unknown:
I was not complaining at all.
[00:02:46] Rich Chelson:
I bet not.
[00:02:47] Unknown:
No. Dude, what's up?
[00:02:51] Duuude-Ron :
What's going on, you culturing chocolate bar?
[00:02:58] Rich Chelson:
You're gonna find one one day that sticks, and we're just gonna well, we're gonna be calling each other for the rest of our lives.
[00:03:07] Duuude-Ron :
Okay, mister high energy emu.
[00:03:11] Rich Chelson:
High energy emu.
[00:03:15] Unknown:
Oh, shoot. That's funny.
[00:03:21] Rich Chelson:
I'm like,
[00:03:25] Duuude-Ron :
So, basically, have you ever have you basically ever seen the, TikTok or, what, Facebook or whatever when there's a loud bang and the emu just jumps and starts running around like a head like, it has yeah. That's you, Brian.
[00:03:43] Rich Chelson:
Have you seen the one where the emus are trying to go up at, an icy hill, have you haven't you? I have not seen that one yet. Oh, I'll see if I can find that one, for consent team within that. I'm I'm driving right now, so I won't I won't quite do that type of, of of, acrobatics. So
[00:04:06] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You better not. Especially if you have a friend that has a, white vehicles with, you know, certain colored lights.
[00:04:16] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well, you know, I mean, there's times that, yeah, they have stopped me for impromptu safety meetings. So, you know, impromptu safety meeting.
[00:04:25] Duuude-Ron :
That is a fucking excellent one. I have never been I have never been stopped for an impromptu safety meeting conversation. Wow. I think, Texas DOT just write you a fucking ticket.
[00:04:46] Rich Chelson:
I think you're probably right. They just go, okay. There you go. $15 or it should cover the bill just fine.
[00:04:54] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:04:56] Rich Chelson:
Speaking of bills and things like that, alright. Have y'all been seeing the the videos running around about apparently, Arkansas is requiring to know how to read and write? Yes. I kinda heard something about that. But I wonder I'm wondering if that's actually true or if they're just, you know, just trying to make a stink.
[00:05:19] Unknown:
Well, hang on. Let me look.
[00:05:25] Duuude-Ron :
Well, let's see. If you're in the in The United States and you're driving a fucking 80,000 pound commercial vehicle, you damn right, you better fucking be able to read, write, and understand, and speak English.
[00:05:40] Rich Chelson:
Well, you're right. You should. But, again, that doesn't mean that's what the law is. Right. We should have the have the, the pledge of allegiance stated in school every morning, but we don't.
[00:05:56] Duuude-Ron :
I I I will agree with that 100%. It did when I was in fucking school.
[00:06:01] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Well, it's just a country for you. I have Rich is trying to get his get his information out. It wasn't. So alright, Rich. What you got?
[00:06:14] Unknown:
Well, first off, what I was gonna say is, actually, by the federal law, yes, truck drivers must know how to read and write the English language. But a lot of the states and and a lot of the federal DOT do not, enforce that law. So that is in the FMCSA. As far as, as far as Arkansas, they're saying yes. It's it's an act to create the Secure Roads and Safe Trucking Act of 2025 to amend the law concerning a commercial driver's license, any operators of a commercial motor vehicle to require that operators of commercial motor vehicles have proficiency in the English language, to require that operators of CMVs have a valid, commercial driver's license. Basically, what they're trying to do is, the way it reads is, enforce the rules.
[00:07:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And and to enforce the rules. But, I mean, it was just like they were having, they I forget. There were, like, three or four questions they were asking about, and if a person could not read, write, and speak English, coherently and and stuff, they were either, a, being issued a $5,000 fine.
[00:07:49] Duuude-Ron :
On the spot?
[00:07:50] Rich Chelson:
On the spot. You had to pay them or you got slapped in the handcuffs and you and you did you went to go spend some, time now buying merch. So
[00:08:00] Duuude-Ron :
And if I'm not mistaken, if you drove for a company, that company got fined mail too. $10,000 on the spot. Yep.
[00:08:12] Unknown:
Yeah. There was yeah. I had saw something about that as well. But, but yeah. No. It's it's, yeah, it's it's a federal law for truck drivers to read, write, and know the English language and understand and all like that and communicate. But no one has enforced it, and apparently, Arkansas is saying, fuck you. We're gonna enforce it. And and and, see, the thing is no one can bitch about it because they're enforcing federal law. They're not making any new laws. They're just enforcing federal law at the state level. So Yeah. But but at the same time, that is
[00:08:55] Rich Chelson:
and they they're basically trying to run on the same line as what Texas does where we're we're reinforcing federal law at the local level by ensuring that, you know, the illegal don't come across the, the the Texas border. Right. And but at the same time, the Democrats were would would throw in a huge pit and and suing Texas left, right, and center to, to get them to stop enforcing the federal law.
[00:09:26] Unknown:
Right. Well, that's like I remember when, let's see. Was it Trump's first term? When, Nikki, yeah, when Nikki Haley was was in Trump's cabinet or whatnot, and she said something about the southern border. And she come right flat out in front of a bunch of reporters, you know, because they were bitching about how we were closing the borders and, you know, deporting, migrants and shit like this. And Right. It was all it was all bitching and whining and griping and all like this. And she's like, look. We're enforcing the rules that are on the fucking books already. We're not adding any new laws. We're not changing anything.
We're enforcing what's on and, oh my god, the press had a field day with it. Oh, yeah. They were Oh, no. No. They're separating
[00:10:21] Rich Chelson:
babies from mama's.
[00:10:23] Unknown:
Yeah. It's like it's like, how fucking dare you enforce a law that is on the books?
[00:10:30] Rich Chelson:
You know what type of damage you're doing? You know how many people's feelings you're hurting?
[00:10:37] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Fuck fuck their feelings. You know how many you know how many fucking people they kill a year?
[00:10:47] Rich Chelson:
No. Not really.
[00:10:49] Duuude-Ron :
You well, neither do I, but, you know,
[00:10:54] Rich Chelson:
if they weren't here if they weren't here
[00:10:58] Duuude-Ron :
yeah. If they weren't here illegally, that fucking person would not would still be alive.
[00:11:04] Rich Chelson:
Possibly. Possibly. Have you ever watched Final Destination? No. Death finds a way. Do what? Well, you Said You see the Death finds a way. That you you if not ever seen final destination, it's basically it's a bunch of kids went off and, and cheated death. And, and now they're, as they go through, their death is slowly creeping up on each one and and taking about all sorts of wild and gruesome violent ways.
[00:11:38] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[00:11:41] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know what? You ain't going to cheat death,
[00:11:46] Rich Chelson:
Period. Well, that's kinda what the what the, the moral of the story of that movie was. Yeah. Who are you?
[00:11:54] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. And I sent you guys a video, if I'm not mistaken, where there was a guy crossing a road, and there was a high speed chase.
[00:12:08] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[00:12:09] Duuude-Ron :
The car got t boned in the intersection. It got slammed over to the corner in the telephone tree or a pole or something. Yep. And then the car went through. That guy continued walking across the road.
[00:12:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. He's got his hand up across the edge. Like, god. I'm gonna die here. And then comes, like, police
[00:12:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And then the police car continues on through the intersection. It's like Yep. You know, that is well, that was hit that day was his day.
[00:12:48] Rich Chelson:
Yep. He was, his, his guardian angel was, like, going, fuck this shit. Goddamn.
[00:13:01] Duuude-Ron :
And, you know, I can't I don't want to confirm or neither deny, but I bet you he had one hell of a fucking stain in his pants.
[00:13:11] Rich Chelson:
If he had a if not, he had a hole in his pants. So
[00:13:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You know? Could you call that cheating death? Or did his guardian angel say not today?
[00:13:27] Rich Chelson:
I think I think that was guardian angels going, yep. Never mind. Y'all go this way.
[00:13:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So he's not cheating death, but he eventually, just like all of us, will die. Yeah.
[00:13:42] Rich Chelson:
Well, I've seen the one I'd see if I can find it again. There's one of a girl. She's she's walking down down the sidewalk. For whatever reason, there was a car parked on the on the the shoulder. And for whatever reason, she walks out into this into the street and walks beside the car. And about that time, a driver who wasn't paying attention hit that, hit that parked car and launched itself up in the air and landed on landed on its side off to her side. So divided again. Same stuff. And this girl was like, oh, shit. She's like, get the fuck out of the way, man. I'm almost dead.
Yeah. No kidding. Yeah. I got You know what I mean? A video a lot of people having really close calls.
[00:14:27] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And I've seen, you know, a few of those videos. But you know what? A sad incident happened, here in as a matter of fact, it was in a junior high school in Killeen. Right?
[00:14:46] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:14:51] Duuude-Ron :
Man, I can't wait for the fucking cops to fucking find that son, bitch. That loud noise you heard was some fucking punk on a fucking a mope. Well, not a moped, but a mini bike. Fucking Yeah. Hauling ass hauling ass guys. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:15:14] Rich Chelson:
And they're not even the mini bikes. Like, we're we're used to seeing. They're they're, you know, they're like This
[00:15:22] Duuude-Ron :
this is this is that mini bike that rode by was our era our era mini bike. It's little mini minibike. Okay. Yeah. Mhmm. So, anyway, it happened Monday, I think. A 14 year old girl, stabbed another girl in the in the junior high, in the neck, and that girl succumbed to the injuries of the stabbing. Okay? So we got into a little bit of discussion at work, and I said, well, you know what? I think that 14 year old girl needs to be tried as an adult. However, the conversation continued. That girl that got stabbed had just returned back to junior high that day from being in a alternative school because of violence.
She was a bully. So they kicked her out of junior high because of her, actions as being a bully, put her into an alternative school. I I don't know how long she was in there. But the day she went back to the regular junior high, she started bullying that same girl again, and that girl stabbed her. So, you know, with that being said, yeah, I think that could be classified as self defense. One big issue.
[00:17:11] Rich Chelson:
I would think I would think so. And,
[00:17:14] Duuude-Ron :
so Especially if the especially if the bully was actually making physical contact, in that, in that realm.
[00:17:27] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:17:28] Duuude-Ron :
So you know? But still, 14 year old girl. And I can and they don't learn it from anybody but their parents. Their their manners, their
[00:17:43] Rich Chelson:
Actually, you know, I'm gonna kinda disagree a little bit because, yeah, some of it a lot of it is parents and learning stuff, And a lot of it is also just social media and and the Internet itself. They it glorifies, you know, watching all these girls, these teenage girls just going into brawl session. You know? And question, how many of these kids when they get violent like that, how many of them are actually on antidepressants?
[00:18:17] Duuude-Ron :
You know, that I don't know. And I was fixing to say that, okay. Yes. It's not all on the parents. It's on it has to do with their peers. If their peers are bullies and, you know, just social rejects as we used to call them in the eighties Yep. You know, that is also part of it. Peer pressure, you know, is part of it, but I believe the majority aspect is from the parents.
[00:18:59] Rich Chelson:
Yep. I think majority is or well, I think a very good portion is from the parents. They they, and, and the fact that they don't allow corporal punishment in schools anymore. I think schools should be allowed to take a board up against, kid's ass if they're misbehaving. You know, after about seventh or eighth session, if they still haven't gotten their their act together, then, okay, then you need to start stepping it up into into other stuff because in school suspension's a fucking joke. That's a vacation for most of the kids. The kids are like, alright. I can sit there and do nothing. Sleep. You know? No. You need to if they're if they're gonna go off and have a do an insulin school suspension, I think it should be in school work where alright. Well, give me a moment. You're gonna be doing shit you don't like to do.
And then let them sit there and try to figure out you know, figure their life out and go, you know, peeling potatoes or or, or beating toilets. Toilets. Yeah. Scrubbing toilets. Or even, you know, a little bit I think a little bit of core from punishment does goes a long way. So, you know, let them go off and figure out what a day's worth of, doing wall presses is like.
[00:20:35] Duuude-Ron :
Or, better yet, being in the position of a dying cockroach.
[00:20:42] Rich Chelson:
That was really good. Now. That was really good in military. Yeah. Yeah. That was real. And, Throw me your dead roach. Don't die.
[00:20:52] Duuude-Ron :
No. Just, you know, lay there on on your back and put your hands and your feet up in the air and see how long it's going on. Exactly. Yeah. Or better yet or better yet, lean against the wall and pretend like you're riding Harley Davidson.
[00:21:05] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Wall presence.
[00:21:08] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, is that what it is? Okay. Yeah. Oh, okay. So, yeah, it's I don't know.
[00:21:18] Rich Chelson:
But now I mean, a lot of people have decided, oh, no. You can't be spanking your child. That's, that's terrible, horrible, no good, stuff. You're you're teaching them to hit. Well, apparently, just parenting is not is not keeping them from hitting. Alright? Constance doesn't actually get the more fights.
[00:21:39] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. My daughter about went through a fucking wall one time. You know what? You wanna fucking run your mouth? I'm a fucking your mouth is gonna stop running. Yeah. Because I'm gonna hit you hard enough that you're gonna go through a fucking wall. And would I gotten charged with child abuse? Absolutely not. It's called disciplined.
[00:22:04] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You may as hell you can't even discipline your child out out in public.
[00:22:10] Duuude-Ron :
Let somebody correct me if I'm disciplining my kid out in public. I would just love to fucking have that conversation Oh, yeah. With that merchant.
[00:22:29] Rich Chelson:
No. Most of the time, I catch a parent and discipline a kid out in public. I usually walk up past them and and because, you know, I know that they're pissed off, and I it's probably not the best time to really do it, but I tell them, good job. They need more of it. Yep.
[00:22:49] Duuude-Ron :
You know what? I have no problems fucking confronting Karen. Nope. Or Ken. Doesn't matter.
[00:23:02] Rich Chelson:
So Yeah. Oh, hell. Yeah. It's but, yeah, a lot of the problem, though, is is the are the antidepressants, the SSRIs, the that, that kids are on today. Really? Because Yeah. Yeah. Because what it does is it dead now I say it it takes away the emotions. Now you talk to the psychiatrist or whoever, they're going, well, it doesn't take the emotions away. It just takes it and and and and dials it down. So the well, no. They're they're they're teenage kids for one. Well, for one, SSRIs aren't approved for anyone under the age of 18, but doctor do that and do it anyway.
The the, but the the the drugs deaden the the emotions down. And what that, ends up doing is the human body has to feel emotion. That is the crucial, intricate part of being a human. That's one reason why teenagers have their emotions all over the wall and all over the place whenever they're when they're when they're teenagers. So they get used to having emotion. They get used to having a high the highest of highs and lowest of lows. That's why they feel they act and seem to be manic depressive. Not that they are. They just act that way because that's hormones in action. And everybody wants to stand around and go, well, they you know, I I want them to feel better. No. You don't actually want them to feel better. You want them to feel like a human.
Humans don't get the chance of feeling better. We get the good stuff. We get the bad stuff. It's a fifty fifty pro that's the fifty fifth principle. Half our life is is wonderful. It's top top of the top of the mountain, and the other half is down in the bottom of the valley. You're feeling lower in a snake's belly under a wagon wheel rut. It's you're just you know, it it just sucks. It's going to have moments of of sucking. And so to to deny kids that ability to experience the emotions causes them to have to try to find ways to feel something, anything.
And the most powerful emotion out there is often anger. Yeah. And so that's why they strike out. That's why they that's why, I forget which one of the Columbine kids. I think both of them actually were wrong, some type of antidepressant. They have to feel something, anything. And so to do so, they resort to violence. They start they they do school shootings. The, the the transgender kid that went off and shot up the Christian school was on SSRIs.
[00:26:29] Duuude-Ron :
I didn't I didn't hear about that one, but, you know, you they're fucking they're unfortunately, there's so fucking many of them. Right. It's just unreal. Yeah.
[00:26:42] Rich Chelson:
Oh, there's a lot more out there than what they like to talk about because, you know, they talk about all the mass shootings. Most of the time, it's the a mass shooting is considered a shooting anymore with more than, more than two people. And so that ends up being being for you know, if you have an element of family violence, and and Paul goes off and, you know, goes to try to do a murder suicide, that's considered a mass shooting. And so media likes to go off and and and use utilize the the term for their, for their own
[00:27:29] Duuude-Ron :
game. Yeah. For their narrative. Yeah. Yeah. Now okay. Now we're we're fucking kids of the eighties. You know, the junior high, high school, eighties in fucking high school. I don't ever remember, this type of violence on on a large scale, like, all the mass shootings we had. Do we fucking have that shit in the eighties? I don't remember hearing any about anything about that.
[00:28:02] Rich Chelson:
No. We weren't on on any of the lessons either.
[00:28:06] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right. Okay. I gotcha.
[00:28:09] Unknown:
We all had guns in our trucks.
[00:28:11] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I mean, hell, we well, and that's that's another thing is that a lot of these kids just you know, they weren't they they get told, hey. Guns are these really powerful, horrible things. And so, yeah, they wanna turn to what they've been told is the scariest thing around. They've been told guns are the I mean, hell. You got you got kindergartners who get put into, who get expelled from school for eating a pizza in the into the shape of a gun. And one kid who ended up having, the teacher, made him use a different name because when he was, sign signing his name because they were learning I think they were learning sign language or whatever, but his name is Hunter.
The symbol for Hunter is is a is a finger gut. Couldn't have that. So, you know, instead of, you know, accepting the fact that's what the what the sign for Hunter is, We're not gonna call you hunter. We're gonna call you, you know, Fred or whatever.
[00:29:23] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Again, bullshit. That's just bullshit in Ron's opinion.
[00:29:28] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Well, that's be that's making guns a very scary item. Oh my. If you if you have a gun, you're gonna get kicked out of school. If you if you well, I mean, during, during COVID, whenever kids were doing Zoom having Zoom classes, There's instances and ever instances of kids who had, whose parents got police called on them, and the police would show up because the teacher saw a BB gun in the in the background. Oh my god. We got a gun in the in in class. We can't have a gun in the class. It's like, no. Wow. Yeah.
To overreact about a gun. So now the kids say, oh, there you go. You know, if if they were to be taught that taking a baseball bat was the most scariest thing around, they they, the weapon of attack wouldn't be a gun anymore. It would be a baseball bat. And I could somehow convince kids that a feather duster was the worst weapon known to man and killed hundreds of millions and caused fear and terror amongst the anybody holding it. I can guarantee you the kids would walk around with a feather duster. I mean, hell, they've already people were able to convince them that, hey. Being a boy isn't a good thing. Boys wanna be girls and girls wanna be boys. And you had mass hysteria. You had a mind virus walking loose in in world last last three years.
You got kids who were thinking, oh, yeah. I wanna be a cat. Let's use a litter box in school.
[00:31:18] Duuude-Ron :
And I and I saw a YouTube video or a fake but, you know, whatever, where there was a guy that got pulled over for speeding and gives the cop a one of those little, like, dog license, but it was a cat license. Oh, yeah. Hands that to him. When the when the police officer said, I need to see your license, and he presented the fucking little tag for, you know, a pet. He goes, I identify as a cat, and the guy sitting in the passenger seat was the owner of the cat driving the car. So the cop says, well, I don't remember what state it is. In such and such state, cats are not allowed to drive vehicles.
So if you want to claim that, then I will put you under arrest for operating illegally operating a motor
[00:32:32] Unknown:
vehicle as a cat.
[00:32:35] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly. And it just it just ran into a great big fucking, you know, scene is like and the cop says, well, you know, I can call a social worker here to come here, and we can discuss this, you know, that you are a cat and and find out why you are identifying with a cat. And then it just it just kept getting hilarious. It was just, you know, come on, people. That's just where does it where does it fucking end? You know, it will unfortunately, it'll never fucking end.
[00:33:17] Rich Chelson:
Well, it to a point, it will. But one of the big points they're gonna have to do is they're gonna have to actually start go ahead and carry through with the, with the dissolution of the Department of Education.
[00:33:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. At the federal level, what is that even doing? Nothing.
[00:33:43] Rich Chelson:
It's not yeah. It's not yeah. Well, it's not teaching our kids anything because since the development of the Department of Education, kids, kids, scores, you know, their their study scores or whatever it is they're supposed to be using to measure has been going down.
[00:34:04] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. There's no there's no lie about that. You know, how many high school kids are proficient with reading, writing, and arithmetic in the grade that they are currently in.
[00:34:22] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I think they're saying something. Now I can't remember if this was exactly fully what all the context of it was, but something like twenty five percent of adults, I think is what it is, is are not efficient, or not if it not efficient, proficient in reading. And that and I think, like, fifty percent of those can't even read in a sixth grade level.
[00:34:56] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And that is that was. And that that well, that's ridiculous. You know? Now I'm not the highest educated individual. Let's see. My graduating class in high school was 12/1996, I think.
[00:35:19] Rich Chelson:
I'm a graduate student. My home my hometown.
[00:35:24] Duuude-Ron :
That that's just my high school. There we have five other high schools in Lincoln, and our graduating class was over 1,200. You know what my ranking was? It was in the 1,200. I I didn't rank first, second, or third. I ranked in the low 12 hundreds. So, yo, did I could I apply for a full ride scholarship to college? No. Not even fucking close. You know, I barely barely passed high school. You know? But I can read. Now there's some words I you know, are eloquent words. You know, those 15 syllable syllable words I have to fucking look up to figure out the definition for them. But, you know, okay. That's what I got Google for. Right?
[00:36:26] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:36:28] Duuude-Ron :
So but, yeah, that's it. I don't know. But we are but in the world as a whole, we are probably one of the highest educated countries in the world.
[00:36:49] Unknown:
Mhmm. So and China being
[00:36:57] Duuude-Ron :
the highest educated. Right. But their country is about right.
[00:37:02] Unknown:
You think our school is one of the highest educated?
[00:37:06] Duuude-Ron :
As a country. I don't know. I could be wrong. I don't know. Maybe I'm just talking outside of my head. You know, same side of the head that I got slipped with slapped with a pecker because that's the way my luck is. If it was raining boobies, I get hit in the side of the face with a fucking pecker. So, you know, compared to okay. Like, I don't know what we're I'm sure you're looking it up right now, Rich. How's how's The United States ranked, you know, compared to the rest of the world Yes. I have it. By country. But, you know, there's a lot of Arab countries that are, you know, limited education, especially for females.
You know, South American countries. You know? But, again, I don't I don't know.
[00:38:12] Unknown:
Well, we're, 22 right now. We're 22. The world.
[00:38:18] Duuude-Ron :
22 in the world out of how many countries?
[00:38:24] Rich Chelson:
There's 200 something.
[00:38:26] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Like, two hundred and fifty and forty countries. I mean, no. No. We are not at the bottom end of the scale. No. We are not. But still, with everyone being like they are, oh, America is the greatest. America is the greatest. Which, yes, America is the greatest, I think, and always will think that. But compared to the rest of the world, 22 other countries outdoes us in education. Yeah.
[00:38:59] Duuude-Ron :
Does it does it say on your list of what countries outdo us?
[00:39:04] Unknown:
I'm looking.
[00:39:05] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. I know China.
[00:39:10] Unknown:
This was the case of, 2018. Yes. China was number one. Singapore was second. Estonia is third. See. No. Those aren't countries. That's the top three. China, Singapore, and Estonia.
[00:39:35] Unknown:
Mhmm. So Yeah. I'm seeing if there's
[00:39:42] Unknown:
I can find it. I know I can.
[00:39:55] Duuude-Ron :
You know? And, again, everybody can. I just I don't like to sit down and read. Like reading a book that is not I don't I don't know. Last I don't know the last time I sat down and read a book
[00:40:19] Unknown:
has been decades.
[00:40:23] Unknown:
Okay. What's what's the problem with that?
[00:40:30] Duuude-Ron :
Nothing. Now I read the Bible. You know, that's the only book that I will really pick up and read. You know? So but okay. When I was growing up, I had a very hard time in school, learning as a whole. Just you know? I struggled. But now there's people that you know, girl that was in high school with me, she got a full ride academic scholarship because her GPA was 4.4. So, you know but, again, I wasn't that person.
[00:41:18] Unknown:
But Yeah. But it it you see, that's the thing. Comparing you to someone else doesn't mean anything. You know? That person just excels in different areas than you do.
[00:41:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Then I could very possibly excel in, you know, does in other areas. You are absolutely correct. So comparing one person to another, when it comes to academics, everybody is different, period.
[00:41:51] Unknown:
Oh, it looks like Brian dropped out. But Well, he was driving too. But I just found a new list. It's it's, as of 2024, and South Korea is number one. We're actually ranked number 31. Alright. So It it goes South Korea, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Japan, Germany, Finland, Norway, Ireland, and Singapore. That's the top 11 right there. China is number 13. Wow. Yeah. And we're number 31.
[00:42:31] Duuude-Ron :
And Yeah. Then we're going the wrong fucking direction.
[00:42:37] Unknown:
Well, yeah, because the schools don't fucking teach anything anymore.
[00:42:41] Rich Chelson:
Nope. I mean, they they teach to for the test, and that's the closest they come to teaching. And that's not really even teaching.
[00:42:50] Unknown:
No. Because You're right. Other countries actually, they don't teach for the test. They they teach the material and then test on the material, which is the way it should be.
[00:43:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They teach them to educate them not to pass this particular test.
[00:43:06] Unknown:
And there's actually 208 countries that are on this list.
[00:43:25] Duuude-Ron :
Hopefully, one day, we will fucking get back to at least 21 or 22.
[00:43:33] Unknown:
Alright. Yeah. They need to cut out the Department of Education and, change the way things are taught in schools first.
[00:43:42] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. But it it's it's all gotten political.
[00:43:47] Unknown:
Yes. I know.
[00:43:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So we need to eliminate well, we need need to eliminate the fucking Democratic Party is what we need to do. However, we need to Right. We need to eliminate, the fucking the red tape, the the fucking all that fucking shit, and just get you know what? Get down to the basics. Let's get back to, say, oh, I don't know, maybe late eighteen hundreds and actually fucking teach shit.
[00:44:27] Unknown:
Reading and writing and arithmetic with a little history. That's all you need. Nothing else.
[00:44:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So, yeah, they really need to get rid of the Department of Education at the federal level because they ain't doing nobody nothing
[00:44:49] Unknown:
except for trying to do.
[00:44:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They are except for fraud, waste, and abuse. Yeah. Sorry that you if you have are employed by the Department of Education at the federal level, well, I guess you're just gonna have to go back into a classroom and, you know, be a teacher again. They're hurting for teachers. So but oh, I finally found out the name that I've been looking for for the last ever since the fucking, State of the Union address, who was sitting next to Schumer? It was Adam Schiff. Humperdinck. No. It was Adam Schiff.
[00:45:40] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. He well, if you'd mentioned that he had the lost look on his face, I would have been I I probably would have been better at guessing that. So
[00:45:50] Duuude-Ron :
that dude should just be him. Schumer knows you. Yeah. All those need to be in fucking jail. Yep. They all need to get audited, and, I mean, fucking dig into the fucking weeds of where their money came from. Okay. I get it if they are in stocks. However, they got that information by insider trading. Can we prove it? No. But that's how they got their information was insider trading. Right. So they need to start pulling their financials and say, okay. This was a, you know, kickback from this particular fucking, you know, money given to this group, and then that group gave you this money. They need to start fucking tying everything together and start prosecuting them fucking people.
Now this is not just the Democrats. It's Republicans too. You know? Ain't none of ain't none of not a damn one of them in DC. Well, shit, even at state level, fucking innocent. So how do you know when a politician is lying? He opens his mouth.
[00:47:25] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[00:47:27] Duuude-Ron :
This is true. Yeah. It'd be nice if they were fucking, you know, had some morals, ethics, and values, but they don't.
[00:47:39] Rich Chelson:
Not normally.
[00:47:43] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, Rich already knows this. So last weekend, Brian Uh-huh. Was it? Last weekend was a very expensive weekend in this house.
[00:47:56] Rich Chelson:
Oh, really? What happened?
[00:47:58] Duuude-Ron :
I spent 12,000 fucking dollars.
[00:48:03] Rich Chelson:
On?
[00:48:05] Duuude-Ron :
A whole new AC heater unit with ducting everything.
[00:48:11] Rich Chelson:
Oh, damn it.
[00:48:13] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. $12. But you know what? So far, it's comfortable in the house. You know? I have I have AC, and I have heat, and it's actually blowing through the ducts.
[00:48:33] Rich Chelson:
Oh, that's good.
[00:48:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So, hopefully, it'll, you know, be efficient. We'll see how the how the summer comes out. But I know that I need to insulate up in the attic because the the blown in insulation has collapsed. Right. Yeah. We did the house is freaking, what, built in '89. So it's, what, thirty thirty something years old.
[00:49:04] Unknown:
So I know that I need to insulate the attic.
[00:49:09] Duuude-Ron :
So I'm gonna get some, you know, some rigid insulation to put on top of the blown in insulation, to help possibly insulate the house just a little bit better. But, yeah, last year was, you know, $6,700 fucking a month electricity bill. So, hopefully, that'll get cut in half. That would be nice. Yeah. But at least if it if it gets cut in half, that will be paying for my payment that I'm making for to purchase the air conditioning unit. So, you know, that would be nice.
[00:49:54] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. I can then and accept that.
[00:49:58] Duuude-Ron :
You know, but the nicer aspect of is that it'll be nice and comfortable in well, a little bit more comfortable in the house Right. Than in the summertime coming home to 86 degrees in the house, and the air can get sure running full blast for several hours and not doing the damn thing. But we shall see it hasn't gotten a hundred and six here yet. Yeah. Yeah. And I know that I came on when you guys were talking about weather in some type of for fashion or form. And have you have you gotten naked yet, Rich? Or is it still the, sloppy season for rain?
[00:50:41] Unknown:
Oh, it's still sloppy, dude. We're supposed to be tomorrow.
[00:50:46] Duuude-Ron :
When when is this supposed to, like when does Mississippi stop? About mid May ish
[00:50:53] Unknown:
time frame? No. No. It should be by the March.
[00:50:57] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay.
[00:51:00] Duuude-Ron :
So And then and then you're gonna get naked?
[00:51:04] Unknown:
As long as it as long as it, stays warm and dry for more than three days, yes. But if not, then not no.
[00:51:19] Duuude-Ron :
Well, come July, you will be. Right?
[00:51:22] Unknown:
Well, hell yeah.
[00:51:24] Unknown:
Hell, yeah.
[00:51:25] Unknown:
Hell, yeah. I'll be naked in July. I'll be naked in June.
[00:51:31] Duuude-Ron :
And possibly May.
[00:51:33] Unknown:
Yeah. It's let's put it this way. If it stops raining like it has been, in March, when I take my top off, that's it.
[00:51:45] Duuude-Ron :
It must rain again.
[00:51:48] Unknown:
Yeah. But, but yeah. No. I yeah. No. I'm just I'm I'm just waiting on this rain to stop.
[00:51:57] Rich Chelson:
There we go. Good god. I lost all signal there for a bit. I don't know what the hell is going on under. Yeah. I don't know, dude. You just dropped out. Yep. I mean, I was just like, All of a sudden, nothing. And I was like, looked at it, and then I had the Apple, iPhone 15. You're able to actually if you need to talk emergency wise, you actually have the ability to connect to a satellite phone or disconnect to a satellite.
[00:52:22] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, really?
[00:52:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And so, that so it came up as, like, SOS and the satellite. Hell, I got when they took a screenshot of that one because I was like, son of a bitch. What the hell? So
[00:52:37] Duuude-Ron :
So are you parked yet? Are you still not down the road? No. No. I'm not. All good. Where are you parked at tonight?
[00:52:47] Rich Chelson:
I am in Bogota.
[00:52:51] Duuude-Ron :
Where the fuck that's at?
[00:52:53] Rich Chelson:
It is in between Mount Pleasant and Perris, Texas.
[00:52:59] Duuude-Ron :
What's the population?
[00:53:02] Rich Chelson:
Now you're asking a question that I About 1,200 ish. No. I'll tell you here real quick.
[00:53:11] Duuude-Ron :
I ain't never heard of it. I mean Of course, I don't go up and I don't go up into that area anyway. The furthest I get into that area is our store up in Athens.
[00:53:22] Rich Chelson:
Yep. Population of 1,074 according to the 2020 census.
[00:53:28] Duuude-Ron :
Alright. So they got all of what? Maybe one streetlight? Five stop signs?
[00:53:39] Rich Chelson:
I actually, I haven't well, the little section of town that I go through doesn't doesn't have any stoplights. So they've got a couple flashing lights, but that's about the extent of it.
[00:53:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Just identifying a highway intersection?
[00:53:54] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[00:53:55] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. I get plenty of those on.
[00:54:00] Unknown:
No? I think there's two.
[00:54:05] Duuude-Ron :
No. Not even that. On 36. I know I got a couple going down to more or Marble Falls.
[00:54:20] Rich Chelson:
Good old Paddock Falls. Oh, Frankster. What do you mean? Frankster. Do you have any?
[00:54:31] Unknown:
He's on wheeling this weekend?
[00:54:34] Unknown:
No. Oh, okay.
[00:54:37] Duuude-Ron :
I'm going to work on Saturday.
[00:54:39] Unknown:
Oh.
[00:54:42] Duuude-Ron :
I'm pulling the, the helium tube trailer up to Grand Prairie and picking up another one.
[00:54:49] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:54:50] Rich Chelson:
And gotta pay for that heating and air conditioning. You know?
[00:54:54] Duuude-Ron :
You know how much of a ballpark, the retail cost on helium is for a tube trailer?
[00:55:04] Rich Chelson:
Nah.
[00:55:06] Duuude-Ron :
$1,200,000.
[00:55:09] Rich Chelson:
For a tube? How many gallons does that thing hold?
[00:55:12] Duuude-Ron :
No. Compressed. Not liquid. Get compressed gas.
[00:55:18] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Okay. But, I mean, that's what they have in, like, the cylinder. The little cylinders you can bring out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That yeah. That's true. It's compressed gas.
[00:55:26] Duuude-Ron :
I think it's, fuck, 34,000 no. Okay. 17,000 cubic feet of compressed helium. Yeah. I'd I'd have to look at the the ticket when I get it on Saturday. But, yeah, the average cost of just the materials for the tube trailer is $1,200,000 for helium. No. That might be the liquid. No. That's the liquid trailer. I don't know what the high compression is. No. Yeah. 1,200,000.0 is the, cryogenic trailer that they get, up in Grand Prairie, and then they, you know, do all the pumping off of that, cryogenic trailer. That's what is $1,200,000 worth of product.
[00:56:28] Rich Chelson:
See, helium market has, has unique supply demand and storage dynamics leading to almost continual increases in prices. Over the last decade, helium demand has flatlined due to lack of supply against a backdrop of 30% global GDP growth rather than GDP linked helium demand growth with as with most commodities. The price has gone, has had to go up each year instead. Over the last twenty years, helium pricing has increased at a what is c a g r? Let's see here. What does that mean?
[00:57:09] Duuude-Ron :
C a g Look at What does what mean?
[00:57:12] Unknown:
CAGR. Don't give me the line. Yeah.
[00:57:20] Rich Chelson:
Increased at a c CAGR of eight percent. So let's see here. If we hit that and we do a lookup okay. A CAGR, California Grapes International. Oh, that's not it. Oh, it's a measurement of investments annual growth rate. I bet you that's probably what it stands for compound annual growth rate. That makes sense. Increased at a compounding compound annual growth rate of 8% reaching, around US, US dollars of 375 per million cubic feet late, 02/2022. This is around a hundred times current US natural gas pricing.
[00:58:20] Duuude-Ron :
Sure. Okay. I'll I will I'll have to agree with you on that because I have no fucking clue. That's why the cost of balloons are crazy.
[00:58:34] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well, that I mean, well, they use you do know you can actually funny thing about helium. You can actually I need a phone to stop working other than a pure helium environment. Because there are nanomachines in your phone, and one of them is a a little microscopic pendulum that helps the phone, the timing of the electronics and all.
[00:59:19] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[00:59:20] Rich Chelson:
Going. And but it is so small that a molecule of helium can actually get in there and jam up the works.
[00:59:31] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, wow.
[00:59:34] Rich Chelson:
Oh, and so what you have to do is if you find your phone stuck, you know, stops working because you're in a pure helium environment, which if you're, what actually caused people to realize this is, I think it's a in a there's a medical, machine. I I don't know if it is, MRI or or what, but, hang on, something like that, and it had a helium leak. And when people were working close to it, they noticed that their phone stopped working.
[01:00:09] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Well, it should have also been it also could have been in a with a bio bio atmospheric chamber.
[01:00:19] Rich Chelson:
Could've been. I mean, it whatever whatever they were in, it was a they're they were in a high helium content area. And Yeah. That was in there for a little while. Their phone would stop working, and they couldn't figure out what it was. And they sent messages over to over to Apple and and and Android or Samsung. And, it took them a long while to finally figure it out, and they were like, oh, yeah. It's that, it's that timing, pendulum.
[01:00:48] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[01:00:49] Duuude-Ron :
But, yeah, that would be a bile atmospheric chamber that they use for the BIMS.
[01:00:56] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. They do. They yeah. They'll often use it for that because, yeah, I don't remember watching. Oh, what it what was the the Jean Cousteau? He did something where he was he had gone down to a deep dive and part of the of it coming out was they were in this the bio at, pressure chamber and, you know, they were recording them and stuff. And so as they talked, they were in helium, so they were all funny sounding. As a kid, I thought it was just the funniest damn thing.
[01:01:29] Unknown:
Ew. Tell us Yeah. I
[01:01:35] Rich Chelson:
can't. I can't. So what else is happening, Rich? What's happening in your world? What's what's your big projects this last week?
[01:01:48] Unknown:
I just well, I went and, renewed my thing for my park that I go to, my pass because there's a park here. Yeah. That's that's normally where where I go to do my POTA activations. Right. And, I didn't realize, but it it it had lapsed. And so I went and checked and got that set up. So I'm back good for a a year.
[01:02:18] Rich Chelson:
Yay. You might definitely wanna be in the park's good graces.
[01:02:22] Unknown:
Well, yeah. Because it's well, you see the park is gated, so you're not gonna get in anyway.
[01:02:29] Unknown:
Oh, okay. You know?
[01:02:34] Unknown:
So yeah. Either way, you know, you're not gonna get there.
[01:02:40] Duuude-Ron :
So it's a private park?
[01:02:45] Unknown:
Excuse me. No. It's a state park. Believe it or not, it is a Mississippi State Park, but it is gated, and they charge $5 a day.
[01:03:01] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Sounds like, Powder Canyon. So To, to go use it. And,
[01:03:07] Unknown:
they normally use the honor system. So, like, if, you know, you show up there and no one's there, they got a box, you know, you know, put the dollars in it.
[01:03:17] Rich Chelson:
You know?
[01:03:18] Unknown:
And, everything like that. But, you know, if if you're someone like me who who will go into that park multiple times, you know, in a week or something like that, that get awful expensive. So I pay $42 a year For your pass. And, I get to go in anytime I want.
[01:03:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So Now I got, for the national parks, I don't know if you have that same pass. Yes. I do. As being a as being a veteran. Does that pass does that pass not allow for that particular park?
[01:04:03] Unknown:
No. That pass is only good for federal parks, not states.
[01:04:08] Duuude-Ron :
Well, it I got into a state. States want their money, damn it. Well Well, I got into a state park in Utah.
[01:04:16] Unknown:
Some states will accept it, but Mhmm. Not a lot of them.
[01:04:21] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:04:22] Unknown:
So, yeah, that's, yeah, because I had looked that up, you know, when I had gotten my pass, yeah, what, three, four years ago. Uh-huh. I'd looked it up in the state, you know, as far as states. And some state parks will take them, but most of them will not.
[01:04:41] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. So
[01:04:43] Unknown:
but either way, it's I mean, you know, this park, it's quiet. There's hardly anybody there. I mean, e even on the weekends, there's hardly anybody there. You don't see many people or it's just a nice little park.
[01:05:00] Duuude-Ron :
But I think. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because who wants to pay $5 to go to a park?
[01:05:07] Unknown:
Believe it or not, people do.
[01:05:10] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. Oh, I yeah. There there are people that do, but, you know, the majority will go to a free park versus paying for, you know, a membership or daily fee to go into the park. So
[01:05:27] Unknown:
I see. That's why I say, you know what? Have fun. Have fun with your bad self. Because,
[01:05:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. There you go. Into this one. You're going and enjoy yourself because it's nice and quiet.
[01:05:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, that believe it or not, this park has kept up. I mean, it's in fact, I drove through today, and, they've done a lot of clearing, clearing and a lot of work in there. It it looks it looks a whole lot nicer. I mean, it it looked nice last year, but it just looks even better now. Yeah. So but but, yeah, I did that and because it is starting to warm up. So, you know, I can I can go do, some POTA activations and shit like that, which that'll be fun?
[01:06:18] Duuude-Ron :
Some what activations?
[01:06:20] Unknown:
POTA, p o t a. Parks in there. It's a it's a ham radio thing.
[01:06:31] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:06:32] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well, you know, it's ham it up in front of everybody.
[01:06:35] Duuude-Ron :
That's right. Now is this part, adjacent to any waterways or anything like that or the Gulf?
[01:06:45] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. It's it's Okay. Yeah. It's it's yeah. It's it's yeah. So it's right there by the Gulf.
[01:06:51] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay. Yeah. He's actually in it. You know those, pictures he takes of the,
[01:06:55] Bryan Goodwin:
of the ambiance boats? Yeah. That's in that park.
[01:07:00] Unknown:
Oh, okay. No. No. No. No. Is it not? I thought you said it was. No. There's there's a park there, but that's not the park that I'm going to. You would have to go probably another four miles west, four or five miles west by the waterway to hit to the park that I go to. So yeah. No. No. Where where I take pictures of the of the amphib ships and all like that, They, that's that's another park that's just right right down here by my house.
[01:07:40] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay. Yeah. I think corrected.
[01:07:45] Unknown:
But, no. It's it's, yeah, it got warm, so I, you know, figured I would, drive around and see things that that I hadn't looked at for a while. You know? Because I've been,
[01:08:02] Rich Chelson:
Hold up in your house.
[01:08:05] Unknown:
Yeah. Kinda hibernating. I mean, I still get out. Oh, and I finally found, eggs fairly cheaply.
[01:08:15] Duuude-Ron :
Was it at a farmer's market?
[01:08:17] Unknown:
Nope. It was in a grocery store.
[01:08:19] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah?
[01:08:21] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:08:22] Duuude-Ron :
Fine.
[01:08:23] Unknown:
$3.59 a dozen. So so yeah. Because and and it was funny. These are brown eggs. Right?
[01:08:37] Rich Chelson:
Yep. So you wanna
[01:08:39] Unknown:
for a $3.59 a dozen. The white eggs right below them, the ones everyone's buying are $6
[01:08:47] Bryan Goodwin:
or a dozen. Oh, yeah. It is. You go out in the country, I bet you could find someone selling heritage eggs. You could probably get them for about, $253. Right.
[01:09:04] Rich Chelson:
Well, and who gives a shit about what color from quail size eggs up to, you know, jumbos, but still.
[01:09:14] Unknown:
Dude, what was you gonna say?
[01:09:19] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, who gives a shit what the, shell color is? The yolk is still yellow.
[01:09:25] Unknown:
Right. Well, you see, though, that's the thing, though. A lot of people have been, brainwashed into, oh, white you know, only eat white eggs. You know? They're the you know? I I mean, everyone checks the eggs. It doesn't matter if they're white, brown, or whatever.
[01:09:43] Duuude-Ron :
Whatever I'm just checking for cracks myself. Well
[01:09:49] Unknown:
well, yeah, that's that's first thing I do is open it up right there in the store. And if I see a cracked one, I put the whole dozen back. Oh oh, yeah. Without a doubt. Yeah. No. But, but yeah. No. I I get I get, say, was it this week or was it yeah. I think it was this week. Went to the store and it's like and I was walking down where the eggs were at. And and, you know, since I was down there, I was like, well, let me look. And I had found this. It's it's the Farmhouse brand of eggs. I don't know if y'all ever heard them. No.
They were $3.59, and everything else was $4.59 up to 6 and over $6. I'm like, no. Give me the $3.59 ones. Yep.
[01:10:42] Duuude-Ron :
Do it. Here here here's the question, though. Do they taste the same? Of course, they do. Yep. Yes.
[01:10:51] Unknown:
Well, if yes, they taste, better. Oh, okay. Yeah. Because, brown eggs normally have a thicker yolk. Oh, okay. They have more flavor normally. Not always, but normally. Oh, okay. I did not know that. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. That's why that's why I get brown eggs, man.
[01:11:15] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:11:16] Unknown:
Yeah. It's
[01:11:17] Bryan Goodwin:
a And all this time, we just thought it was because you're cheap.
[01:11:21] Unknown:
Well, yeah, that's that's part of it, but now brown eggs brown eggs just just have a more robust flavor. And Gotcha. Oh, okay. Brown eggs and fried them up and fried white eggs up, you would taste the difference. Oh, okay. So because the white eggs feel or taste kinda just light and it's like, okay. Whatever. But the, brown eggs normally, they taste
[01:11:55] Unknown:
Brown.
[01:11:57] Unknown:
No. They don't taste brown.
[01:12:00] Duuude-Ron :
And the white eggs taste white.
[01:12:05] Unknown:
No. The white eggs definitely taste white. I don't I don't know really, but, hey, it just it there's a taste difference.
[01:12:16] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Yeah. I never knew that. I might have to look for brown eggs now.
[01:12:25] Unknown:
You've never had brown eggs?
[01:12:28] Duuude-Ron :
I'm sure I have. Alright. I don't know. I don't fucking remember the last time I had a brown egg, but it's you know? So
[01:12:41] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Find you some brown eggs, dude.
[01:12:44] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. And,
[01:12:46] Unknown:
get them. I I mean, like I said, I don't know if they sell this brand in in in your neck of the woods, but, farmhouse farmhouse eggs. And some of them might be brown with speckles on them. Okay? They're still farm. They're still good. Yeah. You know? Well,
[01:13:07] Duuude-Ron :
if I didn't live so damn far away from Patrick, he's got a whole fucking goddamn how many chickens does he have? I think he has, like, eight or 10 laying hens in his flock. He has a cup he has a couple roosters.
[01:13:29] Unknown:
Dude, you could take a drive down there and get a couple, two, three, four dozen. That'll be good for a month, unless you just eat eggs all the fucking time. No. I don't eat eggs all the time, but, you know Okay. And and now now you see the thing is what's funny. A lot of people think that that if they buy the eggs in the store, you know, within a week, they're bad. That's bullshit. Okay? And and, I mean, because I've kept eggs in my fridge. After I bought them at the store, I've kept them in my fridge for over a month.
[01:14:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[01:14:09] Unknown:
And they were just fine. But but most people will not.
[01:14:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And if you but if you don't clean them like, Patrick, whenever he gets whenever he pulls his eggs, he the first thing he does is clean them all. Now if they don't get cleaned properly, then, yes, they will spoil quickly.
[01:14:37] Unknown:
You know, I know someone who, had chickens, and she went and got eggs every day. And, as long as she didn't refrigerate them, the eggs lasted, three or four weeks outside of refrigerator.
[01:15:00] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Hey. But did she clean it? But I'm sure she cleaned them as soon as she, No.
[01:15:07] Unknown:
No? Really? Mhmm. Nope. Really? Nope. Never did. You know, most of them were clean already when they come out, but some some didn't. And, I mean yeah. No. It doesn't. Because you see, there's a thick membrane under that shell. You know, when you boil eggs and then you peel them, and then there's that thin membrane. Well, that Uh-huh. That thin membrane is actually really fucking thick because if it doesn't wanna come off the egg, it ain't gonna come off. Well, it'll come off. But but it's a Well, it but
[01:15:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But it's edible.
[01:15:51] Unknown:
So It don't taste good if you ask me. That's just my opinion, though. I don't No. I always take that membrane off. Make sure that that membrane because, I've I've eaten some, with that membrane on. And, yeah, I know. Mhmm. That's only on hard boiled eggs, though.
[01:16:13] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:16:14] Unknown:
You know, if I'm frying them, I crack I crack the bitches. Leave the yolks running. Oh my god. A good check.
[01:16:28] Duuude-Ron :
Hell, yeah. The best one is fucking over easy. Dip your toast into it. No.
[01:16:34] Unknown:
Sunny side up, dude. Oh, dude. You kill me, man. Sunny set up. I wanna see them yellow yellow mounds of goodness poking up.
[01:16:50] Duuude-Ron :
Those little yellow balls of sunshine?
[01:16:53] Unknown:
Yes. I wanna see them. You wanna flip them easy and make them hazy.
[01:17:04] Duuude-Ron :
Whichever. They taste good. The yolks taste good on toast. Well, yeah. Or or even on a fork too for that matter.
[01:17:14] Unknown:
Right. That also tastes good with biscuits.
[01:17:18] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I'll give you that. Well, you should you better fucking have bacon. Well, yeah. And what's better than bacon?
[01:17:28] Unknown:
More bacon.
[01:17:30] Duuude-Ron :
More bacon? That's right. That's right.
[01:17:35] Unknown:
You can throw in some saucy's gravy in there too. Absolutely. Yeah.
[01:17:43] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So, basically, so, basically, we just need to come to your place because you're making breakfast.
[01:17:49] Unknown:
Yep. Come on.
[01:17:51] Unknown:
And and Steve, come

[01:18:04] Duuude-Ron :
No. That was the donkey in Shrek. Shrek. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. In the morning, I'm making waffles. Yeah. No. I'll no. I'll do you know, yeah, I could do, you know, sunny side up or whatever you just said about the eggs. Yeah. Sunny side up.
[01:18:28] Unknown:
I'd do them whichever way, but I prefer sunny side up if I'm doing them like that.
[01:18:37] Duuude-Ron :
But Right. Right. Yeah. You know, it's just Oh, I got
[01:18:42] Unknown:
Uh-huh. I gotcha. I gotcha. But, yeah, I did that and drove around and went to a few other parks and just looked around. Just just kinda enjoyed the day, man. Because I I mean, god dang. It was so beautiful.
[01:18:59] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yeah.
[01:19:01] Unknown:
So that's about that's about what I did today yesterday. I've been I've been I've been messing with my, AM radio antennas. I think I've got them dialed in. Finally? Well, no. No. It's no. No. My one, say, my one forty one footer, it's been up, oh, fuck, since last August.
[01:19:34] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh. And,
[01:19:36] Unknown:
yeah, the wind and everything finally broke the wire.
[01:19:40] Duuude-Ron :
So Oh, really? Okay.
[01:19:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Just because it sways in back and forth in the wind, it just it just broke the wire, and it it it just it wasn't working. So I was like, what the hell? And so I was like, I got the wild hair at my ass. I was like, well, I'm gonna make a 60 footer. Yeah. That didn't work out too well. And then, so so I went back to the 41 footer, and, I guess I had mismeasured. Had to say that slow. Otherwise, I was I was totally gonna fuck that one up.
[01:20:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[01:20:25] Unknown:
And so and so I had to do it all over again, but I've got it finally down, up, tuned, everything. So so I'm back good again. I can I can I can talk like I was because I got that one, and I've got a 25 foot Ribicoff, which is a vertical antenna?
[01:20:51] Duuude-Ron :
So Okay.
[01:20:54] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[01:20:57] Unknown:
Yeah. It's a it's a it's a 25 foot long wire on a four to one with, four ground planes underneath it. And it actually does pretty good, to be honest with you. Oh, yeah. Mhmm. It does. So but, yeah, I got that finalized and all like that. Made a couple of contacts today. Made a, let's see, one or two yesterday. Just fiddle farting around, basically.
[01:21:35] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:21:38] Unknown:
So but, yeah, it'll be probably next way into next year before I get my hex beam. I have pushed that to the back corner because I looked at my bills.
[01:22:00] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. And the bill man cometh.
[01:22:02] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. And I'm like, yeah. I got to do something about this. So I'm pushing all my projects off until probably summer of next year before I even start to think about them again and just concentrate on on getting my bills caught up and paid off. There you go. I've got a whole bunch of smaller bills that that if I just buckle down, you know, within the next four to five months, still I'll be paid off.
[01:22:37] Unknown:
Yeah.
[01:22:38] Duuude-Ron :
You know? But those are the ones that are the small ones or short ones are coming up and kicking a dick.
[01:22:45] Unknown:
Yes. They are, by god. It hurts.
[01:22:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Why? Yes. It does. I know. I just added $12,000 to mine. Right. That was that was not a happy fucking day.
[01:22:58] Unknown:
No. I know.
[01:23:00] Duuude-Ron :
It was a day that had to be done. I've been pushing that off now for a couple of years. But after after last summer, it's like, no. I can't go through that shit again.
[01:23:13] Unknown:
No, dude. No. I I mean, that's just, you know, that's just, yeah, rude.
[01:23:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But at least I'm not living in a hut in Africa and getting Africa hot.
[01:23:30] Unknown:
Right. Right. Well, I I think I think you would probably probably acclimatize to Africa pretty quick. I would hope.
[01:23:41] Duuude-Ron :
You know, it was a bitch in fucking Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
[01:23:46] Unknown:
Right.
[01:23:50] Duuude-Ron :
So, you know, who knows? But I I really don't plan on visiting Africa anytime soon or even in this lifetime. I got too much shit to see in The Fucking States.
[01:24:08] Unknown:
Right.
[01:24:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. One of my One of my bucket list things is to travel the Appalachian Trail. Right. That's what? 1,600 miles, 1,300 miles?
[01:24:23] Unknown:

[01:24:37] Unknown:
Well, it's no. I I dude, I I never said nothing about that.

[01:24:49] Unknown:
Oh, no. I believe you. I've I've I've I've seen where people say, oh, yeah. I walked the Appalachian Trail. Alright. You're a dumbass, but I'm happy for you. Yay. You know? I mean I mean, someone who would go for a walk about that that far. Yeah. No.
[01:25:11] Duuude-Ron :
Why? Because Fatboy ain't missing any meals?
[01:25:14] Unknown:
You're goddamn right Fatboy ain't missing any meals. And Fatboy ain't walking that far neither. It's not gonna happen.
[01:25:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right. I agree. I I ain't walking that motherfucker. No. No. Thank you. No. I'll drive it. Yeah.
[01:25:45] Unknown:
Yeah. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not I'm not knocking. Oh, did I tell you, dude, or Brian? I don't What's the deal? I told somebody, I think. I went I went and applied for my passport.
[01:26:03] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, we're we're talking about that on Tuesday.
[01:26:07] Unknown:
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I went I went and applied for my passport and, basically, just I mean, it's a simple, application. But, you know, once you get it done, you you pay the money and then, wait six to eight weeks.
[01:26:31] Unknown:
So Yeah. It's pretty easy.
[01:26:35] Duuude-Ron :
How long is a passport good for now?
[01:26:38] Unknown:
Ten years.
[01:26:39] Duuude-Ron :
Ten years. Okay. Yeah.
[01:26:42] Unknown:
And and I'm getting the book and the card.
[01:26:48] Duuude-Ron :
You can't I'm confused.
[01:26:50] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[01:26:51] Duuude-Ron :
So so the book being what everybody is used to as far as the passport, right, being the book? Yeah. What's the card?
[01:27:01] Unknown:
The card is used for let's say, I go to Canada and I drive from here to Canada.
[01:27:08] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:27:09] Unknown:
I can use the card instead of the book. If I go to Mexico, I can use the card instead of the book. If I go to The Bahamas, I can use the card. There's there's only a few places I can go and use the card. The rest of it, you have to use the book.
[01:27:31] Duuude-Ron :
Well, which makes it probably a little bit more convenient, like, if you're going on a cruise, you know, in in the Gulf area that you just have the card versus, you know, your paper passport.
[01:27:44] Unknown:
Well, you see, that's the thing. You know? Like like like, let's say you go to Aruba and Belize and all these other countries. No. You you would need the book. You couldn't use the card.
[01:27:55] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, really?
[01:27:57] Unknown:
Yes. No. No. I'm not. You see, the the card But it
[01:28:01] Duuude-Ron :
Go ahead. Go ahead. Alright. No. Go ahead.
[01:28:05] Unknown:
No. The card the card is mainly used for countries you can drive to from The United States or, like, close ports of call, you know, like The Bahamas. Okay? Right. It's just spitting distance off off of Florida. Right. You know? That looks Uh-huh. But but anywhere else further out, no. You have to have the book.
[01:28:32] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:28:33] Unknown:
So and plus and plus when you go overseas and whatnot, when you go to check into a hotel, you you, have to show your passport.
[01:28:48] Duuude-Ron :
Really?
[01:28:49] Unknown:
Yes. That's your ID. Oh, okay. And and yeah. Your driver's license picture and and address, they don't give two shits. They wanna see your passport.
[01:29:02] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. So Alright.
[01:29:06] Unknown:
But yeah. No. That's, but, yeah, passports are expensive too. They're like, say, altogether for the book, the card, and the, the other fee that goes along with it. Uh-huh. Altogether, it was, like, $2.10. It cost me, like, $2.10. Oh, okay. So but, I mean, it's, I mean, it's all good. So yeah. So I figured probably around June, July, probably get my passport.
[01:29:53] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Well saying. But at least at least you'll you will have it when it gets cold in Mississippi again so you can go wherever the hell you wanna go in the world that's warmer.
[01:30:09] Unknown:
Well, that's that was the biggest reason for me doing that.
[01:30:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I know it was.
[01:30:17] Unknown:
And and and see and see this is why also that that I'm trying to get these, smaller bills out the way. Well Yeah. So so so I can do this. You know? Yeah. And, I mean, I I did also have a, you know, another meaning for it because hurricane season's coming up. You know? And and if and if I would, for some reason, have to evacuate what I'm hearing right now, it's supposed to be, like, an average hurricane season. They're not talking about anything big. Uh-huh. So, but still, even if one hit, you know, and I had to leave, I would rather have the money in my bank rather than use a credit card.
[01:31:10] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Yeah. Uh-huh.
[01:31:12] Unknown:
So that's why yeah. I've got a dual purpose.
[01:31:16] Duuude-Ron :
But yeah. So yeah. But if you're if you're say it's, you know, hurricane is coming up, you know, protected path, whatever. So you're gonna go down to a Caribbean country that definitely is in the path.
[01:31:35] Unknown:
No. No. No. Dude, hurricane season is Haiti. No. No. Oh. Hurricane season is from June to November. Okay? So Okay. Hurricane hurricane season will be passed when I wanna go down south when it's cold up here.
[01:31:54] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:31:55] Unknown:
See see during hurricane season. No. I'm not going south into the storm. I'm going north to get away from it, dude.
[01:32:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I could let's just picture you in fucking Canada. I know you have driven a big rig up into Canada. Yeah. But I could not see you driving up to fucking Canada for anything. Oh, no. Well Maybe maybe some Canadian what's what's the liquor that they make up in Canada? Is it whiskey or no. It's not whiskey. Rye whiskey is is, normally what they make. Oh, okay.
[01:32:43] Unknown:
But, yeah, Canada really doesn't make too much. I mean, they do make whiskey, but, I mean, honestly, it's ours is better.
[01:32:53] Duuude-Ron :
Isn't it Canadian bourbon that I don't fuck I don't drink more than alcohol, so I don't fucking have a clue. There's a there's a Canada Mist or,
[01:33:05] Unknown:
god. What is it? I Yeah. Canadian Mist? Yeah. Canadian Mist. And there's there's one or two others. You can get some rye whiskey from up there, but now I mean, I don't know.
[01:33:20] Duuude-Ron :
Well, seeing as how I don't drink whiskey, but I would still like to go take the tour of the fucking Jack Daniels distillery. However, you can't buy anything, any alcohol at the distillery.
[01:33:35] Unknown:
Right. I know. It's a dry county.
[01:33:38] Duuude-Ron :

The armored skunks.
[01:44:06] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Uh-huh. Yep. There's more and more of those when I go up 36 to Gavilan. Got a good amount of armadels on the side of the road. I guess the next ones they're gonna compete are the, feral hogs. I've seen a couple of those as well.
[01:44:32] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Someone went apparently did some, did some hunting in on 287. There is, like, six or seven of them being dumped off on the side of the highway. It's like, yeah.
[01:44:49] Duuude-Ron :
But my wife I don't even think
[01:44:51] Rich Chelson:
a buzzer will touch those. I don't think so either because good grief. They've been sitting there for a while and and yet they see any any buzzers around.
[01:45:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Yeah. But the skunks, the armadillos, and, you know, that other stuff. We got buzzards all around, but not the hogs. I watched a hawk today when I was just happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye. You know how when they have their wings folded in a dive Uh-huh. Going after their prey? I saw one going up in that same configuration and was, like, the wind was blowing just hard enough to where he was floating, just stand flying still, not moving whatsoever. I'm like, man, that was fucking cool. And then he finally got up and landed on the top of a telephone pole, but it was just like watching him and just being in flight but not moving in the in the attack position of his wings.
I was like, that was fucking cool.
[01:46:12] Unknown:
That does sound cool.
[01:46:18] Duuude-Ron :
So what do you think about all the protesters for, at the Trump Towers because they, arrested that What was the Brad student that, organized that, protest.
[01:46:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh, the dude, they they can't they, the the Arabic dude, they found out of the revoked his, his student visa?
[01:46:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Columbia.
[01:46:47] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Columbia. Yeah. Oh, no. I think they did the right thing. I mean, hell, if you invite somebody in and they started trying to burn down your toilet, you know, you would kick them out of the house. So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think, I think you're sitting there calling, calling some of your some of the, the family members, horrible names and and demanded that, we kick the, kick the the baby of the family out of the house. I'll be going, alright, dude. You you go ahead and see yourself out. Yep. Your your invitation has been rescinded.
[01:47:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Really. And now they've, stopped all federal funding to, Columbia. And there's a couple other universities that are following suit protests as well.
[01:47:35] Unknown:
Oh, yeah.
[01:47:37] Duuude-Ron :
Am I I think, what it was at? Brown University was another one that, has gotten their, federal funding stopped. It's like, oh god. Let's see. Maybe the students will have to fucking pick up the bill then. I don't think any of them should be getting federally funded.
[01:47:58] Unknown:
No.
[01:48:03] Rich Chelson:
I don't think so either.
[01:48:05] Unknown:
Well, you know, no. They can get fed, what, to colleges or to students?
[01:48:10] Rich Chelson:
I don't think the colleges should be federally funded.
[01:48:13] Unknown:
Oh, no. No. I agree.
[01:48:16] Duuude-Ron :
I mean Now I mean Now student? Yeah. Okay. I agree with scholarships for students. And, also, you know, if you apply for, not a scholarship, but, what's the other thing called? It's not a scholarship. But, you know, if you do it the process the correct way with the applying for the funds through the federal government, yeah, if those government or if those agencies, you know, allow that, by all means, I would do the same damn thing if I went to school. I'd be applying for the fucking grants and subsidies and all that that I could use, but I ain't gonna abuse the fucking system either.
[01:49:19] Unknown:
Right. But no. I mean, either way, that's fine. You know? Let the students, yeah, get funded. But, the individual colleges should not be able to apply for, you know, funding because they're already getting the money from the students. I mean, they don't cost $20,000 to to have a student go to school there. I mean, yes, I understand their salaries paying all like this, but this is why they have boosters and alumni and shit like this. You know?
[01:49:53] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:49:56] Unknown:
So, you know, I mean I mean, you know, if a kid's paying $20,000 a a year to go to school, you know, add that up for, you know, what, 4, 5 hundred, or a thousand, or 2,000 students, or however big the college is. You know? That's why did that get money.
[01:50:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yep.
[01:50:23] Unknown:
But, yeah, they're like, oh, no. We can't keep the lights on. Why the fuck not? Get another accountant.
[01:50:29] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. Exactly.
[01:50:33] Unknown:
You know? Yeah. Fire ant fire ant Betty and get and get one of your students that you're teaching.
[01:50:43] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:50:48] Unknown:
Yeah. That's I mean, that's that's where I'm at on that.
[01:50:53] Duuude-Ron :
I agree. Yep. I will agree with you, gentlemen.
[01:51:11] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I haven't kept up with what's I didn't even know about that protest.
[01:51:22] Duuude-Ron :
No. It's it was pretty well, on the news. The one in, Columbia, not the one in, Brown. But now because that guy that that grad student that initiated that protest, now Trump Towers have protesters outside Trump Towers wanting him to be released. It's like, no. And if you want to assemble without having the proper permits, I guess it's time for you to go to jail as well.
[01:52:01] Unknown:
Well, I mean I mean, you say what you say that's the thing. Trump's in in in Washington, DC. The office of the president is in Washington, DC. Why are you gonna go to one of his businesses and protest? I mean, what's what's it? I I
[01:52:21] Rich Chelson:
explain it to me, I guess. Because they can't get close enough to the, to the White House. So they gotta do it do it to something that represent that's got the word Trump in it. Oh my god. You know, it'd be fun. The whole thing. It's a really, really hardball. You ought to start doing. You see a bunch of them, protesting Trump? Start start walking around with a bunch of, playing cards. Just start handing those out to him too and watch him wig out. Hand out what? About what? Playing cards. A deck of playing cards. What is one of the playing cards often have?
[01:53:02] Unknown:
What does that have to do with anything?
[01:53:04] Rich Chelson:
Trump. Trump. The playing card Trump playing cards. Have you not ever seen the the black, the the ace of spades usually says Trump on it? I've never seen the word Trump on on a deck. Oh, yeah. I've always seen Trump on on the playing cards.
[01:53:23] Unknown:
I never have.
[01:53:24] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay. Well, I mean, I'm not I'm not It's a it's a joke that got that got die that died sadly. Oh, well. My aunt's try again later. I'll come up with something else that's out of the left field to throw you off for a loop.
[01:53:40] Unknown:
I'm sorry, dude. I yeah. I Just tell me what I'm talking about.
[01:53:45] Unknown:
I'm just telling somebody
[01:53:48] Unknown:
Okay. Okay. I wasn't I wasn't getting it. I was like, I'm I'm I'm just I mean, I took you seriously. Like, I've never seen I was like, what the hell? Oh my gosh.
[01:54:02] Rich Chelson:
Oh, it's
[01:54:03] Unknown:
Oh, lord. Okay. Yeah. I I was I was a tad slow.
[01:54:14] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, and also going into politics, you see what they did to Al Green?
[01:54:20] Rich Chelson:
I know they censored him, but that was about all I thought. They, yeah, they censored and sanctioned the hell out of him.
[01:54:29] Duuude-Ron :
They're trying to get to a point where he's not gonna be allowed on any committees.
[01:54:36] Unknown:
Well well, as far as I know, being censured, you're not allowed on any committees. Right?
[01:54:43] Duuude-Ron :
You know, I don't know how that process works.
[01:54:47] Unknown:
Well, the re the reason I'm saying is because when they censured Marjorie Taylor Greene, they, basically removed her from any and all committees.
[01:55:00] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:55:01] Unknown:
Again, I don't know how that process worked. Well, I mean, I don't either. I just that's just what I'd heard that that when they censured her that that, yeah, she didn't yeah. She can't I mean, she can still, I guess, serve her district or whatnot, but,
[01:55:21] Unknown:
you know?
[01:55:24] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know why those people vote for him and AOC and Ingmar, whatever the hell her name is. Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff. You know, what the fuck are those people thinking?
[01:55:42] Unknown:
Because they told them they would give them handouts. That's how they got the votes.
[01:55:53] Duuude-Ron :
Wonder if any of any of them have actually successfully gotten any handouts.
[01:56:00] Unknown:
Oh, I don't know, dude. But but, yeah, basically, it's just yeah. They're saying, well, you know, well and and this is, you know, why when the Democrats took over, you know, the, the, the, Democratic Party, basically, in congress, they were like, well, we'll we'll make sure to make it better for you, make it better for you, which all they did was raise, you know, the cost of living and all like that. You know? So you you know? And then, you know, they're like, oh, we're still doing good for you. We're and now it was it was a bait and switch is what it was. Yeah. People fell for it.
[01:56:51] Duuude-Ron :
And I guess those stupid people keep falling for it every time freaking elections come up.
[01:56:57] Unknown:
Well, they didn't in in in this last one.
[01:57:04] Duuude-Ron :
So Well, hopefully, in the midterm elections, none of them fucking people get voted back in.
[01:57:15] Unknown:
Well, I don't know who's up in the midterms. I mean Oh, neither do I. I mean I mean, as long as as long as we don't, lose control of the house or the senate, I don't care what they do. You know? Well
[01:57:36] Duuude-Ron :
well, it'd be nice though to see fucking AOC, Go, Schumer, Schiff, Pelosi, you know, all those people just fucking go.
[01:57:48] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. No. It would. It would. But, you know, as long as we maintain control, they can't really do anything.
[01:58:05] Duuude-Ron :
Well well yeah.
[01:58:07] Unknown:
Except whine and cry.
[01:58:11] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, and they're doing a lot of that fucking shit.
[01:58:14] Unknown:
Well, I mean, I mean, that dude, people Why? Cry all the freaking time. You know? They whine and be crying like little bitches. Yeah. Well, that's that's what people do. So, I mean, you know, that's why that's why it's like, you know what? I don't care.
[01:58:31] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Well, look at me. I whine crying, bitch.
[01:58:35] Unknown:
Right.
[01:58:39] Rich Chelson:
So And we're okay with you being doing that.
[01:58:42] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. Sure. I I I don't have a problem with that.
[01:58:47] Rich Chelson:
You know? I mean, sometimes you get a little out of hand, and we have to offer you a titty, but that's about the worst of it.
[01:58:55] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[01:58:58] Unknown:
Yep. So,
[01:59:04] Duuude-Ron :
well, it is that time for the tip of the day. It is not. However however, today is not going to be a tip. It's going to be a question. And I want you guys' you know, input on it. So question number one is, who let the dogs out? You know that song who let the dogs out? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Who let the dogs out?
[01:59:38] Rich Chelson:
I don't know. My damn kids because they wouldn't shut the front door.
[01:59:46] Unknown:
I was gonna say, I ain't got a dog, so I don't know.
[01:59:50] Duuude-Ron :
You know, it's just the the question that, you know, I was pondering is like, who the hell let the dogs out? Well, I can't answer it either. So I know you guys just couldn't answer it. I I can't answer the question either. So but it is a good question, though. Yeah. It is. Yeah. You was hoping we would answer it, and you'd be just like, yeah. Yeah. That's right.
[02:00:17] Unknown:
Okay. What's what's your other question?
[02:00:20] Duuude-Ron :
Other question is is what and I think we have probably discussed this many times before. Why is it that stupid people are allowed to breed?
[02:00:36] Rich Chelson:
Because it's easy, and they don't need a card to be able to play hide the baloney.
[02:00:44] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:00:47] Duuude-Ron :
Now granted, I'm sure that, you know, some of them can create geniuses. You know, that that's a good possibility, but still, why are stupid people allowed to breed? It's just just one of those questions of the universe that will never get answered. But, you know, I just thought I'd I just thought I'd just throw it out there. So you know? But next week, I'll I'll have a tip of the week versus a question. So those just kinda popped into my mind and, you know, had to throw them out there.
[02:01:36] Unknown:
Okay. Well, if there's if there's, anyone listening that that knows the answers to either one of these questions, please, by all means, send us an email, [email protected] or [email protected]. We would love to hear your input.

Well, now that you talked to the girl from the actual registration office, since it is here, it may not get finished processing. Will they let you renew your tags knowing that the title is in the state of Mississippi?
[02:09:04] Unknown:
No. They will not.
[02:09:06] Duuude-Ron :
Or does it have to be finalized?
[02:09:08] Unknown:
I'm I'm almost sure it has to be finalized because on the registration, okay, that is printed, there is a space for a title number. And the one I have currently right now doesn't have a title number on it. So I've got to have a title number on that registration.
[02:09:36] Rich Chelson:
Now I don't know what I'm saying. To write one on there. That'll work.
[02:09:40] Unknown:
Yeah. There you go. Make sure to use black ink. Right? Exactly. Yeah.
[02:09:45] Rich Chelson:
You know, but yeah. No. That's Oh, use that green sparkly gel shit. It it'll stand out.
[02:09:52] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. Blind the cop as he's looking at it. You know? But yeah. No. They either way, I mean, if it doesn't get done by the March, you know, if it's April, I'll get charged was it 15% as a late fee or whatnot?
[02:10:22] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:10:23] Unknown:
Okay. But that for me, that's not bad because I only pay a dollar.
[02:10:30] Rich Chelson:
Alright. P is a puffed 15, man.
[02:10:34] Unknown:
A dollar 15. God, no. I can't I can't afford that. You know? I mean, I only pay a dollar for my, tags. So
[02:10:47] Duuude-Ron :
Well, my cheapest vehicle has being a disabled vet. The Aspen, I paid $15 for that one, and then all the rest of the vehicles is just a regular registration fee. Texas only does it for one vehicle. Now all the vehicles that I have can have DV plates, but I only get one of them that gets that privilege to pay $15 for the annual registration.
[02:11:25] Unknown:
I, yeah, I can have two vehicles, with a disabled vet registration, and and be fine. Anything over that, then it's normal. Regular price.
[02:11:41] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, so Mississippi, they they allow you too to have the, discount.
[02:11:47] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[02:11:48] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Texas is only one.
[02:11:53] Unknown:
So but, yeah, either way so, yeah, 15%, I it's like, yeah. I think I think I can afford 15¢. I mean and and I think they charge, like, a a card fee of, like, 3%. So Yeah. You know you know, a total of, what, $18.20 cents, maybe? I think I can pay that. Or I might just take cash up there.
[02:12:36] Duuude-Ron :
Cash works for me. Yep.
[02:12:39] Unknown:
I don't know. It just I'm just I'm I'm just glad to finally even though I've got, you know, I I've got the printout of the confirmation from FedEx that it was delivered, hearing hearing someone else tell me, someone that works in that system saying, yes. Your title is in this state. I'm good. You know? Yeah. Yes. I would love to have my tags renewed by the March. I really would. But, you know, if I wind up and have to go into April, I'll just have to drive cautiously because I could get a ticket for it.
[02:13:24] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:13:26] Unknown:
And I don't know how much that would cost. I'm not really wanting to find out.
[02:13:36] Duuude-Ron :
But why not? Well and and most most states give a leniency anyway.
[02:13:42] Unknown:
Mississippi, they give you till the fifteenth of the following month before they charge you the the extra. Oh, uh-huh. They say you can, you can still receive a ticket for it, though. So, yeah, they do give you a grace period to get your tags, but you still run a risk of, getting a ticket.
[02:14:11] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And then, hopefully, by the time you go to court, everything's good to go, and they'll probably throw it out anyway.
[02:14:18] Unknown:
Well, I'm hoping I don't have to even worry about
[02:14:21] Unknown:
that. Well, that's true.
[02:14:23] Unknown:
This is true too. I mean, that's my goal. And, I mean, I mean, honestly, here in town, I mean, I've seen I've seen so many cars driving with no license plate, expired tags. I mean, I I I mean, there's enough people in this town. I stand a pretty good chance of not getting caught, but this is me we're talking about.
[02:14:53] Duuude-Ron :
Well and you don't do anything to, you know, draw attention to yourself either.
[02:14:58] Unknown:
No. No. That is one thing I do not do. I take I take lessons from you, dude. I I I lurk in the shadows.
[02:15:14] Duuude-Ron :
The shadow knows.
[02:15:16] Unknown:
That's right. But so yeah. No. It but, yeah, it's this has been going on since last year, and I am so glad this is almost over.
[02:15:34] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. This has been going on since you transferred from Missouri
[02:15:40] Unknown:
Yep. To Mississippi. Yep. Can you see the thing is in Missouri now now check this out. Once I get my Jeep license in Mississippi, okay, I could go back up to Missouri. I mean, I won't, but I could relicense my my Jeep in Missouri. Right? The only thing Missouri would tell me is, you know, because they would ask me if I have the title. I said no. You know, it's with the lienholder. And they're like, well, all you have to do is make sure it has a Missouri title before you sell it. So in other words, I could wait, pay it off, license it in Missouri, you know, for the next four years.
And then when it gets paid off, transfer it to Missouri, then I could sell the Jeep. Not Mississippi. No. You they want that title in Mississippi's name before they'll relicense the vehicle, which I thought was kinda different. You know? It well, it was something I wasn't used to is what it would you know, what it is.
[02:17:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:17:04] Unknown:
So
[02:17:13] Duuude-Ron :
so yeah. Hopefully, that'll be done before the end of the month, and you won't have any issues to contend with.
[02:17:19] Unknown:
I'm hoping so. Trust me. I'm hoping so. But, you know, like I said, it was a a say a big weight was lifted off when I found out my title was here. So Yeah. And and, you know, because, I had read a lot of people having problems getting titles and stuff like this. And, yeah, is it I mean, the thing is, Carvana does not give the information needed in order to do, you know, transfer titles. They're not forthcoming with the proper information. I I had to make multiple phone calls and drag it out of the, Carvana people. So
[02:18:10] Duuude-Ron :
And I Yeah. Because I got because stupid people have bred in the past, and that was the outcome.
[02:18:20] Unknown:
Right.
[02:18:21] Duuude-Ron :

And that's when things started moving.
[02:19:00] Duuude-Ron :

[02:19:04] Unknown:
So so, yeah, that's, yeah. Once I figured out and that was what? December, January when I found that information? So I just I was I was passing that shit on quick because I, you know, I was trying to get things done.
[02:19:28] Unknown:

[02:19:29] Unknown:

And then I can close this part of my chapter and work on I've got I've got all my all my supplies for, hurricane season. You know? I just I just have to keep stocked up on water, you know, which that's not a big deal. But, you know, I got gas, and I'll, yeah, I'll fire up my generator here probably next month or so, make sure it's all good to go, ready to rock just in case.

[02:33:09] Unknown:
Well, that's that's, that's what it's saying because Fox News is saying, it's it's it's a flop, and it's boring. So Jesse Waters from Fox News says, yeah, so far it's been a flop. They've got, like, nine episodes out. So so, apparently,
[02:33:30] Rich Chelson:
our podcast is doing better than theirs. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. Well, it depends on what their definition of flop is. Their flop may be they haven't reached a million downloads per episode yet. Oh, well, yeah. Though they may be getting five, you know, 50,000.
[02:33:48] Unknown:
So Yeah. We're we're not yeah. We're not there yet.
[02:33:52] Rich Chelson:
We're almost there. We need three more people to join in, and we've got the we're we're there.
[02:33:57] Unknown:
Right? Three more. That's it. We're good. That's it. We're good.
[02:34:01] Rich Chelson:
So, now but do you y'all have heard that, there's a podcast. It's actually the the the left is celebrate. They've because the well, the left has been been wanting to bump Joe Rogan out of the top spot since 2020.
[02:34:28] Unknown:
And they finally did it.
[02:34:31] Rich Chelson:
Well, they finally did it.
[02:34:33] Unknown:
How?
[02:34:34] Rich Chelson:
How? There is a a show called the Midas Touch. Okay. And what it is, it's, it's a play on the brothers it's two brothers. His last name is Midas. But what they're doing is they're they're basically playing the numbers game. They're cutting out 15 around 15 episodes a day of about five, ten minutes, and they're all just click baity. You wouldn't believe what Trump is doing now. You know? What is Doge do you know, Doge has done completely you know, Doge has destroyed The US by doing this, you know, doing a whole bunch of just click baity little five to ten minute episode. And they spread them out 15 about 15 of them a day. And each one of them gets roughly about a million downloads because it's all YouTube based.
[02:35:32] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:35:35] Rich Chelson:
And so but they do have an actual podcast. You can't actually get it through RSS feed. So it is a a a legit, podcast, but they're also counting all the, all the hits and views that they get from from YouTube. Right. And so they're getting, you know, a million a million views per episode because they're usually kinda short and quippy and can and a lot of them are can, can be almost used as a short. And so that's how they're going. Boom. We're you were more and more popular than Joe Rogan. And because the because they're wanting the the left is wanting so desperately to topple Joe Rogan. They're looking for the liberal the Democrat version of a Joe Rogan.
And the funny thing is is they had a Democrat version of Joe Rogan. His name was Joe Rogan.
[02:36:33] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[02:36:34] Rich Chelson:
It wasn't until, you know, they were talking during until, till the COVID days. And he was actually asking insightful questions that the left was, like, left the left left Joe Rogan. And Joe Rogan was like, well, hell. The the right seems to be interested and curious about all the stuff that I'm asking about. So, you know, so they he was just like, alright. Well, cool. I'll just, I'll just join in with, with them. I'll talk with them and stuff. And and so that's how he they he became known as being right wing when in all reality well, it's like Elon Musk. Elon Musk isn't a a Republican.
[02:37:30] Unknown:
Right.
[02:37:31] Rich Chelson:
He's a he you know why he's doing SpaceX. Right?
[02:37:36] Unknown:
No.
[02:37:37] Rich Chelson:
So that he can get people up to Mars as we can start colonizing Mars because the the, global warming is destroy is is going to kill off man.

He's he's a devout greenie weenie.
[02:37:56] Unknown:
Okay. He's saving us an ass load of money, so I don't I don't care what he's doing. He he's doing that too.
[02:38:03] Rich Chelson:
He's realized that that, again, because he was he wasn't buying all the bullshit that the left was touting and that and the fact that he bought up Twitter, their little bastion of of a of an echo chamber and turned it back into a a a more of a center of free speech. It's not a % because he's kicked off a lot of right right wings and a lot of left wing people. A lot of people at the at the extremes, he's bumped them off. But at the same time, he because he went off and bought Twitter, they were like, you know what? We don't wanna have anything to do with Elon. And, you know, I was like, oh, okay. Cool. Well, the right seems to be alright with what I'm doing. So I'll go hang out with them until the right goes off and does the same thing as what, what the left is doing, which, I mean, they are doing that. They're starting to do that already.
Starting to cancel people just because of their views.
[02:39:14] Unknown:
Right.
[02:39:15] Rich Chelson:
I was like, no. Don't. Let's not do this, people. We're gonna we're going right down the same freaking path as what, as what the left did.
[02:39:26] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[02:39:27] Rich Chelson:
And, and pretty soon, we're gonna end up you know, we're gonna have everybody flip it again, and all of a sudden, you're gonna have more mass idiocy because all of a sudden, it's like go to the dark side because we got cookies. And ice cream. And ice cream too. Yes.
[02:39:49] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Forget the ice cream.

I mean, hell, look, you know, look at the liberals. Most of them stay home in mom and dad's basement. Oh, damn. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Did I say that out loud?

[02:41:41] Rich Chelson:
Yep.
[02:41:47] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Some of the videos that have been popping up on TikTok, they're showing these Karens or or these people, not just Karens. Ken as as dude called them, you know, throwing a fit, for no reason thinking thinking they're above the law and everything. And, you know, I've watched a few of them, and and it's crazy because, these cops you know, like like, this one I just watched, a cop stopped this lady, and this lady is like, I'm trying to get over here to pick up my daughter, and she just takes off and goes on. Well, they run their car, catch up to her, and this girl's on her phone saying, you know, talking to whoever and then, telling the cop, I'm I'm just trying to get my blah blah blah.
And, the cop was, you know, trying to explain to her, look. You were stopped for a reason. And and they kept having this fucking discussion, and I'm like, shut the fuck up, pull her out the car, throw the cuffs on her, and throw her in the back seat.
[02:42:59] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:43:01] Unknown:
Stop. You see, that's the problem. Just stop. She broke the law. She fled the scene of a traffic stop. You've got her on fucking multiple counts here. Just yank her out the car, throw the cuffs on her, and throw her in the back of the fucking car. Yep. You know? I mean, I'm I'm not saying beat her or, you know, anything like this, but and and and you don't really you don't have to hurt her. Just grab her, yank her out the car because, one, she'll be shocked. You know? So it'll be easy to subdue her, put the cuffs on, and put her in the back of the car, walk away. You know? And but no.
They stand there and and go with this, banter back and forth. And I'm like, god. Y'all are just man, this you see, this is what I don't get about people. It's like, why do y'all wanna sit here and fucking talk about it? Let's get down to the nut cutting.
[02:44:10] Unknown:

[02:44:11] Unknown:
You know? You know, if it's something that that can be talked about, great. Let's talk it out. Okay? But when you're trying to explain to someone and they're not listening, fuck it. Walk away or or or a let's get to the nut cutting. I don't care. I ain't I ain't got time to dance. You know? Right. It's too short. You're harshing my buzz, man.

[02:45:04] Unknown:
Oh, my god. It was funny. This cop stopped this one lady, and this lady got out. She was standing up against the the strip mall. And, I mean, the cop was trying to explain to her, ma'am, you crossed the line on the street. That's why I pulled in and stalked you. And the girl was acting like she was having a panic attack. Oh my god. You know? And and just and it was, it it was it was sickening. Then they finally get her in the back of the car. Right? You know? Because, this, this lady, don't you touch me. Don't you touch me. I'm scared. I'm scared for a man to touch me. Someone call the cops. There's a cop standing right in front of her. You know? And it's like, oh my god. People are just yeah. I I I don't know, man.

Everyone everyone's been been yelling about the tariffs we put on Canada, but no one realized the tariffs Canada already had in place on goods coming in from Canada to The US. They think, oh my god. Trump's the mean worst man that Canada's had had I mean, I'm talking 200% tariffs, 50%
[02:55:52] Duuude-Ron :

[02:56:07] Unknown:

[02:56:09] Unknown:
And that's just a protectionist.
[02:56:12] Rich Chelson:
They're just trying to protect because they're We're farmers. Right. But okay. I get it. Yeah. Might wanna try to protect the farmer, but at the same time, I mean, you're you're gonna
[02:56:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Bitch about stuff, then then, yeah, you're gonna they it could be done back the opposite direction.
[02:56:33] Unknown:
Yeah. But but, see, that's the thing. That's saying a lot of people here in America is like, oh, poor Canada. Poor Canada. No. Canada started it first. Yep. We just let him get away with it and finally said, nope. That's it. You're done. Yep.
[02:56:51] Bryan Goodwin:
So but that's one of the good things about how about, about The US. We are we have all sorts of great and grand, wonderful ways that, we can provide value, to other people. And by gosh, did you know you can actually provide value for us? Because we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna wrap this bad boy up because we're at just about 10:00. So so, anyhow, guys, I wanna say thank you very much to everyone listening and to, for taking the opportunity to hear what, three knuckleheads have to say about, about the world, about, what's going on. And even from time to time, we bitch about people being on our grass. So, we we have a, but we all do it just mainly out of fun just because it gives us a chance to be able to, have a little bit of, camaraderie with each other because we're all three good friends. We like to hang out with each other. We like to talk with each other, and we like to like to yuck it up from time to time. And we even all we even do it all completely sober majority of the time. So and I I have to because we do it on Thursdays, and I'm I'm I'm, and I'm in a truck. So I I I can't I could get south in the truck if I wanted to. I just couldn't have the beer cans and or whatever in the truck when I go to move, but that's too much work. I just don't care to do that. So, you know, it's easier just to stay sober.
So but but, anyhow, so now it is our our show is one that is pretty unique in that we're not here to do, a show to make millions of dollars. We're not even here to do a show to make tens of dollars. We would like to make tens of dollars, but, you know, if we don't, that's okay. We're not gonna cry a whole lot about it, but we are a value for value show, which means that we if you found any inkling of value, throw a value throw, however much you think the value is, and you can pay it back. We are a value for value show. Now what do I mean by that? There's some of y'all who are going, oh my god. He's asking for money. Well, I mean, if you wanna give treasure, sweet. Awesome. Thank you very much. We're not gonna we're not gonna pooh pooh you for throwing, you know, however many dollars you think our show is worth to listen to. Well, you can go over to, if you've got a modern podcasting app like Podcast Guru or the fountain app or truefans.fm, there is a, a support the show button. You can hit that, and that'll actually bring up a, our our PayPal page.
And there you can set up a monetary donation or monetary support of, whatever you feel the the value is. And you can set that up for a one time or reoccurring, donation. And, again, we would want whatever it is is completely up to you, and we're absolutely, blessed that you decided to do that. But if, say, the some people are are saying the the economy as being a little rough, I on all reality, I'm one of those that's going, yeah. Okay. Things are getting a little tight around here. And you still wanna be able to show your appreciation for the show.
That's where the other two types of of providing value for the show come in because it's not just treasure, but it's your time, talent, and treasures. You know, there's there's total of three t's in there. You can throw in time. So if you wanna to help, by taking some time and setting up the, the chapters on the, for the show, You're more than welcome to go through and and configure the the chapters for each show and and send them over to us, and we'll get them all all taken care of. Or if you wanted, if you're got a talent for creating, cover arts and and chapter art, then you could do that too. And it's all an easy thing to be able to, to to do. All you all you have to do is decide how you want to, how you wanna do that. The only we I mean, we have some small requirements and that it needs to be a square at least 1,500 by 1,500 square image.
But, but other than that, it's, you know, it's whatever whatever you would like to send as as chapter art. And so with that, I mean, that's that's the way you can help the show continue on. Because if you give if you do provide first, then we're not just taking it and going, we're off to Aruba. We go. So that's probably where, where Rich is gonna run off. We can, but we will actually take this and help just to make sure the show keeps, keeps running. So we end up paying the hosting fees and things like that. But, but at the same time, we if you wanna be able to help in any way you want in any way possible, you could do so by going, and shooting an email over to either, me.
My, email address is circlecast, c I r c l e c a s t, at g mail dot com. Riches czarchelson at g mail dot com, and that's, c h e l s o n. And if you wanna get ahold of the dude, just send an email over to me or Rich, either one, and, because our emails are a lot easier to remember than the dudes. So if, if with with that, if you're had any comments, questions, insights, thoughts, you know, name them, name whatever, you can, also send this, send an email to us that way, and we'd love to hear from you and hear what and and like to answer those on on the show. So, anyhow, with that, I'm gonna go ahead and pass it on over to Rich. What do you gotta say?
[03:03:23] Unknown:
Oh, not too much. I gotta I gotta say I loved your transition there.
[03:03:29] Bryan Goodwin:

[03:03:34] Unknown:
No. It worked. It worked out perfect. But now I just hey. Wanna say thank you for listening and coming back and listening to us. It's really cool. I mean, we do this just because, you know, we like talking to each other like like Brian said, but, you know, it's it's it's it's also kinda cool that that you come back and listen to some of the bull crap we, you know, we throw out there whether you agree with it or not.
