So but, but anyhow so, Rich, what's been happening in your world? World?
[00:04:22] Rich Chelson:
Well, last weekend, they had, over the, over the weekend. You know, it was 420,
[00:04:31] Bryan Goodwin:
you know? Yeah. Yeah. And, Oh, you're good. Yep.
[00:04:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh my God. Yeah. I went I went I went driving down along the beach through, Biloxi. Right? Get through, get over the bridge from Ocean Springs, get over the bridge going down into Biloxi. And I get past the 1st set of casinos coming up to the 2nd set. And they're all set up over here on, I mean, right there on on the side of 90.
[00:04:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Had all these things and all these different Alabama, rec, a rec state?
[00:05:05] Rich Chelson:
You mean Mississippi?
[00:05:06] Bryan Goodwin:
I'd Or Mississippi, Mississippi. Yeah. Yeah. I think so because
[00:05:10] Rich Chelson:
they've got they've got CBD and kratom and all that shit all over the place down here.
[00:05:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, well, I know well, Oklahoma's got the you know, you got your CBD. You got your Kratob, but they're just they're actually one of the more liberal, more open I'm not gonna say liberal. They're more open not say liberal. Because liberally speaking, thinking about the blue haired weirdo. Talking about when I talk about liberal, I mean, more more, not even open, just just, Close minded? Well, I can't even say I can't even say more more, more inviting, but they are they're they're more inviting. They're they're just a lot freer. I mean, it didn't take much. They they're starting to crank down. The the the politicians realize, oh, wait. We really opened the the the the people with the, with the the proposition, prop 420 is actually what it was.
Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. It wound up being proposition 420. And and but it was one of those where they the people who made up the who wrote up the proposition made it really easy for anybody to do just about a get into the, to get into the end of the the the business of of, commercial cannabis.
[00:06:46] Duuude-Ron :
K.
[00:06:47] Bryan Goodwin:
And it was one of those where, at first, all all these companies got or companies all the all the cities and municipalities really wigged out. They're like, oh, no. We can't have this. And so they were setting up, you know, you can't be more than a mile or more than a mile or something like that away from a from a school. And so the way they had it set up, you couldn't be you you couldn't be within a certain range of Main Street. You couldn't be within a certain range of schools, and the schools in that city are all scattered all throughout town. Right. And so they it essentially shoved was gonna shove all the dispensaries outside outside of town, like, a good, you know, good half mile or 2 mile outside of town. That'd be great. And I guess somewhere in the because there's really no laws out in the county.
Yeah. But, again, they the the municipalities all set these up, and then quickly, they were I guess, they realized, like, oh, wait a minute. We shoved them outside of our our our area, so we're not gonna get any of the, tax money. And so they quickly reversed, and so everybody started coming back in into town. And at first, yeah, they were not I mean, I mean, Elk City still has, I think, way too many dispensary because there's more dispensaries than there are convenience stores. There are there are there is see here off the top of my head, there is Natural Way, which is the one that my wife goes to. Good Place. Actually, the lady who, runs, runs that used to run the pizza joint in, in Canoe.
But, so she's a great lady. Didn't realize she was quite as hippy dippy as she is, but she and she's a great lady. She's fun. She's she's funny. She's got, like, 3 or 4 people that that that work for her. They actually even have their own little grow operation or had their own grow operation. I'll get into that moment. And, but just very inviting. You got Jana really liked it because she could go in and they would, we've got this strain, and then they would talk about all the different, terpenes and what level whether it's a salvia or an indica or in this and the that, these those. I mean, it's kinda like me. When Jana goes to talking about, about marijuana and stuff, it's like me talking crypto to Ron.
I'm just kinda like, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you get goofy on it. Is that what you do? Yeah. Okay. Okay. I understand that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. A turpentine. I don't know what turpent oh, turpin. That that's something different? Oh. Right. Which, actually, turpen are like the THC, CBD, cvg, c b,
[00:09:37] Rich Chelson:
n. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. It's a whole budget fit. Hold it. You still get goofy on it. Right?
[00:09:43] Bryan Goodwin:
That's what they claim.
[00:09:45] Rich Chelson:
That's it.
[00:09:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Enough said. So that that's the important part. I'm Just I the only thing I really know on it is that and I and honestly, I don't fully understand it because INDEKA, as my wife says, gives you a full body high. Okay. I again, whenever I was, I'd I got out of the truck for, for 6 months. I was helping a friend. And so during Thanksgiving, we're all in stuff. I was like, you know what? Give me one of those. I've learned it and I took it, I took a gummy Just because, well, I wanna try a gummy. And gets the I don't know if I would say it gets you goofy. It was I started feeling
[00:10:25] Rich Chelson:
it. Mhmm.
[00:10:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Don't know exactly what a full body high is just because well, I I I had the weirdest fucking night I had, and I woke up still stoned. Just if you've not had marijuana and or THC in your system in let's see. That was 20 22, so that would have been 20 years. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Or no well, almost 20 years. So I hadn't had had THC in my system in about 40 years. And then I go off and pop the 100, 100 milligrams or a, a 100 gram or a 100 whatever, not 100 grams. Good thought. I'd still be stoned. Micrograms? Yeah. Milligrams, micrograms, whatever it is their their measurement because you you MG. One gummy was a 100 mg. And, Janet was, like, going, a lot of people, they they cut a little strong. They go ahead and they just cut it in half. I'm like, oh, okay.
I just popped the whole thing around. I was like, that's great. You know? You only live one stop of thing. And, you know, I sat there, and we I played on the phone for a little bit and all this. And about 15 minutes in, Janet was like, feeling anything? I was like, no. No. Not moving to feeling anything. And then I and I real realized I forgot that you actually have to say. I don't think these are working for them to kick in. You actually have to say those words themselves for it to get for the actual edible to kick in. And so about 30 minutes, I was like, I don't think this is really working.
3 minutes later, all of a sudden, I was like, oh, I'm not my I'm I'm I'm moving, and I'm feeling stuff differently. And so it was just kind of like, oh, okay. Never mind. Never mind. We're or we're it's starting to kick in now. Yes. Yes. That's there for for about oh, I don't know. Probably about another 30 minutes or so, and it really kicked in. I was just realized I was just sitting there kinda on the phone, just kinda getting tired and falling and kinda leaning forward and not doing anything on the phone. So I told Danny, like, I'm going to bed. And so I go to bed, and what a reason, I was in a cycle session on that during that.
So I was laying there there, and I was, like, starting to realize, oh, my mouth is a little dry. Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely dry. And I would obsess over my mouth being really dry for, I don't know, what seemed like maybe an hour. It's probably a lot less, but at at same time, for me, at that moment, I'm with my eyes full. I was trying to sleep, seemed like an hour. After that time, it transferred into a into something else, like, where I was just it's like, wow. My body is really freaking heavy. And then it was like, I wonder if Janice and I would just start thinking randomly about Janet for, another, you know, 30 minutes to an hour or whatever. And then then you, forget what the what the 4th thing was. But then all of a sudden, I have this last the 4th thing.
Oh, it was, I think I need to go to the bathroom is what it was. And so I was like, god. I think I need to go to the bathroom. And I'd be thinking about it thinking about it thinking about it, and then all of a sudden be like, wow. My mouth is really dry. Perfect. And I would like to go and I would start obsessing again all about the mouth, and it would go to the next thing and the next thing and the next thing. And it was these four things just over and over all night long. And I I assume I must have gotten slept because because I woke up, you know, feeling refreshed except for the fact that I also as I sat up, I was, like, going, oh, shit. I'm still stuck.
I'm still high as a kite here, people. Yeah. Well, see
[00:14:16] Rich Chelson:
see, that's the thing. I see see, I can't let myself get to that point because I don't have full control over my faculties. What's that? Did you get
[00:14:33] Bryan Goodwin:
the munchies? What's that?
[00:14:36] Duuude-Ron :
Did you get the munchies?
[00:14:38] Bryan Goodwin:
I was sleeping, so no. Now but but again, that was This is coming from an indica. That was an indicator strain in edible. And there's, sativa, which is supposed to be more of I think the they my wife says it's more of a head high. And it's supposed to be more of the type of of, of high that you actually you kinda get when you're actually smoking. If you were to just go out and, you know, you you go talk to Juan down on the corner and you grab you grab a, a little, a little quarter pounder of lawn clippings, and you can't head back to place when you're rolled up smoking.
Yeah. That's what we used to call it. You know, get a not a quarter pow it's not a quarter pound, but, you know, we'd call it a quarter pounder just because, you know, we would be sending texts over to them, and we didn't want the FBI to know that we were actually out talking about talking about, talking about marijuana. So we were talk talking about quarter pounders, a quarter pounders of of lawn clippings because, you know, it's grass. So Yeah.
[00:15:41] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I like Yeah. I like that. Words So like the words lawn clippings.
[00:15:45] Bryan Goodwin:
What does it get to tip-off? I I I need I mean, I I I exactly. Yeah. So I know I'm on a watch list somewhere, but that's okay. But, anyway, I'd tell you, you know and it was just but you have sativa, which is supposed to have more of a I guess it's supposed to give you more of the tingles, which is the thing I was kind of expecting. Whenever I whenever I used to actually smoke marijuana, I that's the thing I always liked about it. I got the tingle. And it was just kinda cool. You'd sit there and be all nice, tingly, and and it it it wasn't quite, like, your foot had gone to sleep type of tingles. It was just kind of a light, like, tingly sensation that you got from head to toe. And so you just kinda, like, yeah. Okay. Yeah. We're cool. We're cool. We're feeling weird. Boys worry me. Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. Yeah, man.
[00:16:36] Rich Chelson:
I mean, tingling? No. I I know. If if something's tingling on me, that's not that's not right. Something's not right there.
[00:16:44] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, I don't know, man. You ought to try it sometime.
[00:16:49] Rich Chelson:
I'm I I may I might I might I don't know. I'm it's it's it's been many years since I have been tingly.
[00:16:59] Duuude-Ron :
You know, and being 55 years old, I have never been tingly. I have never partaken in any illegal substance. I guess I just must be a boring
[00:17:13] Bryan Goodwin:
individual, but, for but the funny thing about it is Well, we just gotta get you to some place where it's actually illegal. Well, yeah. And that wouldn't be a problem.
[00:17:24] Duuude-Ron :
But 2 2 places do not like you fully, DOT and my current employer.
[00:17:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. That's weird. So if I came up with we gotta get you out of the truck, merchant.
[00:17:36] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, yeah. That's true. But, yeah, DOT doesn't like it in my company.
[00:17:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. 70 years old, and he's gonna finally get self we're gonna get him higher than a kite, but still it'll be fun.
[00:17:48] Rich Chelson:
Right. That would Brian, seriously, take, 2 weeks off. Go see Brian in Oklahoma. Do it one time. It'll be out your system. Do it one down. But
[00:17:59] Bryan Goodwin:
go back.
[00:18:00] Rich Chelson:
So, And Yeah. No. But Knowing my luck.
[00:18:05] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Knowing knowing my luck.
[00:18:09] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. We'll hang around. And you'd have that one last THC molecule hanging out, get caught on a piece of that going, hey. Look at that. Hey.
[00:18:20] Duuude-Ron :
Well well, you know, that's And the day and the day that I come back to work, I just get
[00:18:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You get thrown in for a, thrown in for random. So Exactly. Cranberry juice that I get back. Yeah. Run. Run. Cranberry juice. Drink lots of it by the gallons. My wife used to swear by cranberry juice, but also with, I work with the canning wet. Oh, oh. Not gulf wax, but
[00:18:48] Rich Chelson:
Baraffin?
[00:18:49] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Paraffin. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Paraffin. Like, she would say she would take paraffin and mix it up in in in the cranberry juice if a drink hit. Somehow, it was supposed to beep. And I was like, oh, I'm Paraffin? I don't think paraffin is going to transfer transforms itself through the, through the the intestinal lining so that it goes through and and blocks your kidneys from having THC faster. She's she would swear by it, or she also would take it, like, a week before she was actually supposed to take and get a drug test. So
[00:19:21] Rich Chelson:
Oh my no. No. No. They've they've got they've got stuff, and all you gotta do is ask the local local dispensary.
[00:19:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, I mean, the dispensary itself also has fetish urine. So you can go off, take it, and hold it next to your body, get it to your body temperature.
[00:19:39] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But, yeah, but the thing is, DOT, though, yeah, they they've learned all them little tricks, and Oh, yeah. It's very hard to pull it over on them. But yeah. No. I get it.
[00:19:52] Bryan Goodwin:
See, that'd be cool. But, no, there's drinks. But, I mean, when you're when you're just doing going to doing just a random. And kids kids, y'all if y'all are listening, this does not give you condone that you are supposed to cheat on your DOT random urinalysis. Okay?
[00:20:08] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. But
[00:20:10] Bryan Goodwin:
do not because you will get your ass bucked. And, no, we did not encourage you to do so, so try that. Alright? Alright. In the PSA.
[00:20:20] Rich Chelson:
We're gonna have to put in gonna hey. I can have it down. Right. Right. We're gonna have to put in a disclaimer.
[00:20:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Warning. Do not try any of this at home. These are not trained professionals. They are sure as hell moron. Yeah. Do not try this at home. But but, no, it's just you know, they there's a lot because, I mean, you go in for the random. I mean, most of the time, the people who are given the randoms are women. So they just say, you you know, you can't just fill the cup up to the to the level they check to make sure that you're you know, it's the the the urine is the right body temperature. Right. But you gotta make sure it's, you know, up against up against you good and and stuff. So and if it's, if it's cold, then they're gonna be a little a little suspicious.
But, but other than that, I'm I mean, they're not standing. It's not like in in, in the army where, army or or in the navy where you end up having a, an unfortunate first class who stood over you as you peed into the cup.
[00:21:33] Rich Chelson:
So Yeah. No. That The observer.
[00:21:37] Bryan Goodwin:
The observer. Yeah.
[00:21:42] Duuude-Ron :
The observer kinda like, the dude just lurking in the shadows.
[00:21:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Lurking around.
[00:21:50] Duuude-Ron :
Just lurking in the shadows of your mind.
[00:21:53] Rich Chelson:
Oh my god. I'm shocked you haven't run away screaming yet, Ron.
[00:21:58] Duuude-Ron :
Run away screaming? You you'd done lost me now.
[00:22:02] Rich Chelson:
Well, you said you you said you was lurking in the shadows of my mind.
[00:22:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Just back here lurking. Yeah. And in the shadows of your mind, Rich, you you're right. I should be screaming, you know, because I'm sure that that is a damn scary place.
[00:22:25] Rich Chelson:
It is. It is. Oh. I don't I don't I don't even wanna go there unless I absolutely have to.
[00:22:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. God. Tell me about it. So have you Yeah. Of the, of the big hero that over in, New York City?
[00:22:40] Rich Chelson:
The big hero.
[00:22:42] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. There is a guy that has just lit Twitter on fire, and it's just got them cheering up one side and down the other. What's he done? Well, he's a construction worker. And a b c I think it was ABC that, Donald Trump, had gone down to this construction site to just kinda shake some hand because he's there because he they've got they've got, like, 15 different, you know, lawsuits going on and, you know, try to get him nail any type of criminal activity on. And the man's Yeah. Man's the man makes mister clean look like pigpen. So you there's nothing you could pin on. But they're trying goddamn it. They're trying everything they can. Oh, yeah. They are. Right? And the ones that they're and the ones that they should be going after,
[00:23:29] Duuude-Ron :
they ain't going after.
[00:23:31] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, no. But, but anyhow, ABC News went and was talking to some of the construction workers at this at this, construction site that Trump had just spoke to, and they were they were kinda getting the, you know, the insider view and hoping that they were gonna find they kinda asked him. I was like, so what do you think of all the, of all these Republicans that are here in, that are here in Washington or, in New York right now? And one guy was like, well, it's about time they start showing back up. We've been needing them for a while. And he's like and, you know, everybody kinda, oh, hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Kinda got excited about that. And then at the end, they asked him, it's like, so do you have any messages for Joe Biden? He's like, yeah. I do. Joe Biden, you.
And everybody's just like, oh my god. He has said that there are people talking about how he has said the thing that everybody around has been wanting to say. Say what everyone's thinking. And it's just this and it's amazing that we are at this point.
[00:24:35] Rich Chelson:
It is. And I mean I mean, seriously, we're I mean, because our parents back in the day when we were growing up, we weren't allowed to say it, but our parents would stand up and say what the hell was on their mind. Yeah. Where did that go? And then now, now you've got one guy that stood up and said what he wanted to say on national TV
[00:24:57] Bryan Goodwin:
and whatever. And, and, you know, everyone's going ape nuts like, oh my God, you can't do that. Really? Why can't you? No, no, no. They're excited about it. They're everybody's not finding them. Oh, y'all have a But the ones that are that are wigging out and thinking, you know, thinking about how terrible he is are all the or the, you know, the usual suspects. It's the it's the the mainstream meet well, as as, Adam Curry calls them, they're they're the the Mi 5 Media. Yeah. You know, m m I five m. So they you know, they're just the mainstream media, but it's, you know, they're just they're there to ball play ball. And, I mean, we had that when was it, last week or maybe the week before?
One of the, PBS, or in, NPR. Same thing. They're elite elitist voices.
[00:25:49] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[00:25:51] Bryan Goodwin:
Put out a a, a a a post about we lost the faith of the US. How how NPR has lost the faith and and lost the, all faith about from the US listeners. And because NPR is now I mean, well, with any any of the media. I mean, you've got even even video games are yeah. Well, yeah. But even even the video games themselves are inundated with a lot of this type of crap.
[00:26:21] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. And and see, that's the thing. Everything is is a everyone's trying to be all inclusive and not offend this person, not offend that person. Guess what? Feelings are gonna get fucking hurt.
[00:26:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Well, and trying to be inclusive is not doing anybody any favor.
[00:26:40] Rich Chelson:
No. It's not. It it's not. In fact in fact, I freaking read an article today just before we jumped on here. See, over in Sweden or Norway, they did a study on kids from age 11 to age 26. You know, the kids that, that, you know, how they say they're they're, you know, when they're born boys, they wanna be girls and all like this and all like that. Well, come to find out, They're not saying it's just a phase, but they're saying as the kids grow up, they tend to revert back to their original Yeah. Gender. And it's like Yeah. Hello.
You know? And that's why that's why a lot of countries and I think it said 27 states over here have rules against, gender affirming care for for kids, which is great. Rightfully so. Oh, hell yeah. Because because and and and you see, this is a thing. I don't get okay. And and I've heard this for years. You're gonna get me wound up on this here in a second because Yeah. That's the purpose. These kids these kids these kids were getting, you know, being bored and all like that, and they're like, oh, they they're, they can make their own decisions.
Really? Motherfucker doesn't know how to pick his or what to do after he picks his nose. Does he eat it? Does he throw it away? What the hell? You know? I mean, I'm sorry. But but, no, it don't work. These kids do not have now now kids nowadays are smarter than, we were because we were still eating better.
[00:28:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Well, I'm not gonna say smarter. They just have more access to stuff. Well, okay. They're still just dumb they're still bunch of skull a skull full of mud. Right. No matter what. I mean, you you can give a monkey a a a cell phone. Doesn't make them any smarter. They're just they're they'll eventually figure out that they can get a response when they tap tap Right. Right. Okay. So they're no. They're still they're still morons. Love kids dearly. I've got I've got 3 kids and a and a and a and a grandkid. They're Right. You know, when they're when they're from from birth to 26, they're just sadly, they're just freaking idiot. That's all there is to it. And we gotta love them for the fact that they're dumb.
[00:29:05] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. And then and then try and teach them to help them
[00:29:11] Bryan Goodwin:
opt that head out before 26. But, you know, Yeah. Well, they don't know. I already know that. No, you can't tell me this Or or I've I've known that since I was 2. Yeah. Uh-huh. And How many of those how many of those mud pods did you eat before before you realized they tasted like dirt?
[00:29:32] Rich Chelson:
Right. But yeah. I know. You say and say that's the thing. It's like it's like kids, this is why we have parents because the kids need to be taught. Right. You know? And and, yes, kids need to have some freedom to learn on their own, but they also need to be educated by the parents, not just by the teachers, not just by the school administrators, which they're doing a sucky ass job at it because, you know, it's funny. It's funny. They will allow, LGBTQ people
[00:30:06] Bryan Goodwin:
in Yeah. The alphabet mafia. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:30:10] Rich Chelson:
And to read to the kids and and then, like, shows, like, movies right now you can watch or memes on Facebook. Facebook will block out the bad words. Oh, god. We can't do that, but yet go to the freaking library. Go to a school library and check out some of the book.
[00:30:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And I mean and and what's funny and, yeah, you wanna talk about, like, the book banning and stuff. And they're they they throw a fit about, you know, some of the books that they they block, and they'll go they'll throw a pin like, look. Like, well, Tom Sawyer's on on that list. Like, well, no shit, Tom Sawyer. You know who put that Tom Sawyer on there? It wasn't the conservative folk. I can guarantee you. The conservative folk are telling, you know, the boys wear pink and and and, you know, Sally's 2 daddies and and, you know, I can I can be a girl if I wanna type of stuff? And that that's the stuff the conservatives are throwing a fit about. They they the left's throwing a fit about, you know, oh, well, we can't have the bible in the in the in the school. We can't have you know, the Quran okay. We we're a lot we can have that. You know? The satanic bible, sure. Why not? But, you know Oh, yeah. God forbid if we did because they don't wanna have the, you know, because we are a Judeo Christian country and the people who actually don't want who wanted per perpetuate the the atrocity that is this whole wokeism's bad are actually just just communist.
They're they've they're trying to get enough people to be fighting amongst themselves in enough of a way so that they can actually end reenact the stuff the same crap that that actually Hitler tried. Right. Get everybody fighting at each other's throat, have as much debauchery as you possibly can so that the proper people stand up and go, somebody do something about something about this. And all of a sudden, here comes, you know, mister mister communist, I know what to do. Mhmm. I get, hey. We're gonna get this settled down. We're gonna get it all taken care of, and everything will be great. And so they then would go through and basically piss all the, all the the the the usual idiots off by going, oh, yeah. LGBTQIA young people, you're gone. Y'all y'all don't have any rights anymore. And they would do a hard shutdown.
Yeah. A lot like what what, what the Nazis did because that's not whether they like to hear it or not, Nazis are not right wing. Right. They were National Socialists. Well They took a lot of the extreme right wing stuff to actually calm the the the the debauchery down. Right. You know, you saw, like, the burlesque, the like, the show the, burlesque. Mhmm. That was all happening dear before before World War 2 happened.
[00:33:19] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:33:20] Bryan Goodwin:
So that was that was all, back when, you know, that's they were almost having the cats and dogs sleeping together together, mass hysteria type of stuff. They were they were at that point to where, when the the proper middle of the road German stood up and went like you. Right. You're the closest thing to anybody saying anything of any sanity. So come in and fix this that you claim you can.
[00:33:48] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Okay. Now now, no, no, no. I understand you're right. And I agree with you, but but to bring it up a few years, what about China and their one child policy?
[00:34:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. They've stopped that, haven't they? Yes. They have.
[00:34:05] Rich Chelson:
They're like, oh, wait a minute. Yeah. That didn't work too well. I mean, Hey, you know, I I mean, yeah. It wasn't just, you know I mean I mean, yeah. We, we had talked a lot about Germany and, you know, Nazis and everything. And, yeah, we, you know, we shouldn't not talk about it.
[00:34:24] Bryan Goodwin:
No. I don't think we honestly still be talking about how Russia used to be. Yeah. China China's a a very good good indicator. China, Venezuela.
[00:34:36] Rich Chelson:
Ah, Venezuela. Cuba. Iran, Cuba. Yeah. I mean I mean, look at all the but but you see, that's the thing. Most of these people nowadays, they don't look any further than the end of their nose.
[00:34:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, no. Because the teachers didn't aren't bothering to teach that topic history. Well, you see, that's the thing. Because they agree with that. But so then they would have to just go off and say Russia was a wonderful place. It was great. They had they had a very powerful army and all this. Okay. But did you look at what their cars were like? I mean
[00:35:07] Rich Chelson:
You're right. Right. But okay. Hold on now. Hold on now. You also have the school boards and the school superintendents that are people that are our age that are allowing this shit to be taught.
[00:35:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. And the reason a lot of that is
[00:35:25] Rich Chelson:
well, a lot of those people the teachers.
[00:35:27] Bryan Goodwin:
No. It's not just the teachers. The school board's allowing it. But that is the reason why all that's happening is because one of the when the, the iron curtain fell and we defeated communism, we thought, hold on. Okay. Let's have a party. We're gonna have a good time. We had the nineties, and that during that whole time in the nineties, communism shrunk back. It didn't disappear. It didn't die off. It just shrunk back and goes, okay. Where do we need to go? Alright. We've gotta go into the roots. We've gotta go we we didn't kill communism off. You never will. We just turned our backs on it and said, alright. Well, they they can't do anything now. And so we didn't pay attention to the school. We didn't pay attention to the teachers. We didn't pay attention to the colleges.
Oh, yeah. Which is where the communist, ideas have always been at. We never got rid of the of that. I mean, that was evident as the back in the sixties when we when you have the student riot. What what are we having these days again? Oh, what is that? Well, we've got we got students protesting again.
[00:36:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. For for, Iran and Hamas and Palestine. Yeah. Yeah. Palestine and,
[00:36:44] Duuude-Ron :
Israel. Yep. Yeah.
[00:36:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. And you know, and
[00:36:48] Duuude-Ron :
And the bad thing about it is and the bad thing about it is the whole everything is if you forget your history and your past, you are tend to repeat it. Yeah. Well, yeah. How how's that how's that phrase go?
[00:37:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. No. You failed. Learn from the learn from the past or do repeat it. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:37:12] Duuude-Ron :
And yeah. So we're back in the cycle. It's been, what, 40 years now?
[00:37:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that I mean yeah. Well, it well, let's see. 19 48 is when Israel was created or was recreated. It wasn't actually ever just created. It was always there. Right. Because the Israel, the Israelites were dispersed from Israel thanks to thanks to, the Roman. And that area by the Romans as Palestine. So the Palestinians are actually just the rip rap that was left behind followed what what the Romans said. Right. The funny thing is is about Palestinians, though, that nobody especially the news and the and the college students and all that. Why is Palestine stuck where they're at? And they are stuck.
Because nobody else wants them. How are they stuck? Because if when they try to go to go to Egypt, they pull the same bullshit that they are pulling in Israel. Oh. It's just Israel is nice enough to at least try to appease them for the past 60 60 years or so now. Not anymore. Well, no. No. They they're they had 2 years of peace. It was great, wonderful peace. They actually were relaxing, which was kind of the the downfall. They started to relax a bit going, alright. Well, looks like Palestinians are coming and they're getting wealthy. They're getting they're getting good, good stuff and and all that. They're learning, that, hey, We're not here to oppress them. The thing is, oh my god. Iran can't have that because Iran
[00:38:49] Rich Chelson:
runs Hamas and Hezbollah. And that's what happened. The shit we have right now. Yeah. And so the the thing is all these college students all these fucking college students are like, oh, free Palestine. It's him. No. Most most of the Palestinian are tied up with Hamas and, Hezbollah.
[00:39:09] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. I'll disagree with you on that one. Most Palestinians are just there. They're just there. Now is there a blood of Hamas folks there? Yeah. But most Palestinians want to be over in Israel. They love working in Israel because they actually get to make money. They get to have some freedom. Right. Okay. Over in over in Gaza, they're like going, okay. You and you ever go and watch videos of it, you can see where Gaza Gaza ends in Israel start. Because you go into the Israel side, and this is this beautiful, clean, nice area to walk around in. People are are are talking to each other, being friendly. And then you go across just a just one wall into a Gaza neighborhood, and it is dirty, trashed out, the epitome of poverty.
And it's not that it's not that the Israel Israelites are doing anything to the to the Palestinians. They're not depriving them of anything. Their government that they elected into off into power is the one going, yeah. We're we're taking all this. We you know, this is all for us, and y'all just do without.
[00:40:19] Duuude-Ron :
But but say that sometimes, you know, way. Kinda kinda sounds like our government is doing right now.
[00:40:25] Bryan Goodwin:
A bit. Yeah. You know, where
[00:40:28] Duuude-Ron :
I I was looking I can't remember where I saw it at and there was this congress lady and throughout her years in congress, going from a net worth when she first started 40 years ago to about $50,000 or no, $500,000 net worth when she started as congressperson and now her net worth is in the 100 of 1,000,000 of dollars. Yeah. You ain't you ain't making that kind of money from the government being in congress.
[00:41:09] Bryan Goodwin:
No. What is the faceplate? And and who you're thinking of? They're actually actually, what they're talking about was, it was old Fannie Willis from, who is the DA who is trying to, trying to to prosecute Trump for election interference. And, and so she is she gets paid something like 50,000, maybe even 500,000. I don't think 500,000, but they should. She gets paid a respectable amount.
[00:41:40] Rich Chelson:
Over
[00:41:41] Bryan Goodwin:
50,000 dollars, what, that hour or what? No. You know, let let's just let's just let's just say, okay,
[00:41:48] Duuude-Ron :
a congressperson's pay is a 125. I don't know exactly what it is. Let's just say it's a $125,000 a year plus whatever benefits you get at that position. And now you're telling me your net worth is in the 100 $800,000,000?
[00:42:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Where did you make the money from? Oh, we know. Her her, well, the Penny Willis one that I saw, they're saying she's she makes maybe a $150,000 a year.
[00:42:18] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:42:19] Bryan Goodwin:
And her net her net worth now is $8,000,000 in just the time that she has been elected as the DA.
[00:42:29] Duuude-Ron :
Right. And where does her net worth come from?
[00:42:32] Bryan Goodwin:
That's what We know where it's coming from special interest. It's coming from from Lobbyists. Yeah. Lobbyists and stuff like that. And lobbyists being think people like George Sohr.
[00:42:44] Rich Chelson:
And and George. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, creepy dude. Yeah. George Soros is out to destroy America.
[00:42:52] Bryan Goodwin:
He's out to destroy the world. He he wants to watch the he's one of those who want just wants to watch the world burn. He he would he would actually, forgot forget which, which, country it was, but he's gone through and messed with country just to have them collapse, Just to see if he could do it. Really? I'd have to look it up and remember exactly which
[00:43:16] Duuude-Ron :
And what is that proving? That that he's got that much power.
[00:43:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. His sense of humor.
[00:43:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That is exactly correct. But to be able to have yeah. His I don't know what his net worth is and it's in the 1,000,000,000 of dollars, 100 of 1,000,000,000 of dollar. But for somebody just to say, gee, because I have this money, let me see if I can't destroy the world. And where did he come up with a philosophy that he wants to do that?
[00:43:48] Bryan Goodwin:
What pro Well, he is a socialist. He he's a socialist, by ideology. Okay. So he's just It's funny that he's got all this money because of capitalism. But, yeah, he he is he very much against against the the freedoms that the US has been able to allot everybody that lives in the whole country.
[00:44:12] Duuude-Ron :
And if he had and if he had such a socialist value, why doesn't he dispense his money in the socialistic aspect where everybody is gets the same?
[00:44:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, because of that. You you forgot. He he he it's the answer then they in in what you just said. He's a social. You use everybody else's money to meet your ends. Now he does take a lot of his money, and he gives it over to you know, he's got a lot of Soros backed. A lot of the a lot of the very liberal DAs that are not prosecuting, you know, theft defenders and things like that. If you go and look and see who their donors are, the vast majority of them are Soros back. Right. And, they may And it may not be the backed by Soros. Yeah. It may the the the the company that that donated to him may not be the Soros back, but it was backed by a, SOREL's company, SOREL's, NGO.
So he's
[00:45:17] Rich Chelson:
Hey. I just I just I just looked this up, and, it says, George Soros, basically in 9 in 1992 dropped a pound, the British pound, and just basically kinda crushed it. It's they call it Black Wednesday. Yeah. And that was, but, yeah, he, yeah, bet against the pound and, yeah, dropped it by 15% and, say against the German mark and 25% against the dollar. And Soros made about a1000000000 in profit off that. So Yeah. And the question, why did George Soros bet against the British pound in 92? Because he believed that Britain's position in the was unsustainable and that it would eventually have to devalue devalue its currency or leave the system And says he used his quantum fund to sell 1,000,000,000 of pounds and buy other currencies, creating a huge demand for other currencies and a sizable supply of pounds. And it lowered lowered it and just, crushed them.
He was trying to crush Britain is what it was.
[00:46:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[00:46:35] Rich Chelson:
I mean, he didn't fully do it, but he came damn close.
[00:46:39] Bryan Goodwin:
He he flexed it enough. Oh, yeah.
[00:46:43] Rich Chelson:
You have to think?
[00:46:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. That's what he was out to do. It was just kinda shows like, hey. This is what I can do.
[00:46:50] Duuude-Ron :
And Yeah. No. He just tweaked it up in 1 way. And those individuals are the ones that should be, oh, I don't know,
[00:46:57] Bryan Goodwin:
prosecuted and sent to jail. Dank. But there's no law against what he did. That's true. He did everything that was perfectly legal. That is true. They're Just is it ethical or not? You know? Was he using his his wealth to, you know he was doing everything that, you know, that we talked about in as as capitalist. He was a he did stuff that allowed himself to become richer, not by robbing anybody.
[00:47:25] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[00:47:26] Bryan Goodwin:
He played the game like he was supposed to play it, which, you know, okay. That's a lot of people would stand up and go, well, that's the reason why capitalism's so bad. No. No. Capitalism isn't bad. It's just it. Right. It's like any other tool. You could take a hammer and use it for good. You can also take a hammer and bash somebody's head in with it. Yeah. What you Is it the hammer's fault? Nope. No. The hammer is just a hammer. A gun is just a gun. Investments in a in a in a, item is just an investment. What was the intention behind that?
[00:48:04] Rich Chelson:
Right. But but and say and say that's the thing. This is this exactly what they're trying to do is is send people to jail for the intent. It's like, but there's no law. There's no law saying that that that it's wrong.
[00:48:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Shouldn't there, though. Well, I mean, like, Scotland now has if you, if you say something against a,
[00:48:28] Duuude-Ron :
you know, here's here's the the overall the overall Uh-huh. Funniest thing about everything. And the one thing that will be the kicker of it is everybody yeah. All these individuals that have all this wealth.
[00:48:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Mhmm.
[00:48:48] Duuude-Ron :
And, okay, you turn all of that wealth into gold bricks. Okay? K. Just make into a gold brick. When you get to heaven, what is the word of that gold brick? Saint Peter's going, you know what? We got a pothole right over here that needs to get filled in. Thank you for bringing the paving stones for the road because it ain't worth anything.
[00:49:17] Rich Chelson:
Well, no. You're right. It's not. And see and see that's Greets are paid.
[00:49:22] Duuude-Ron :
Greets are paid with gold, and that's that's their worth. So you have these individual and me being a Christian, I know that what my belief is is that when I die, I will be going to heaven. Okay? I'm not going there as a rich individual with paving stones for the road, but the roads are made out of gold. And the only worth that they have is to be walked on. Right. So you you going back to the ethical laws, you know, that's the thing that a lot of these individuals have just completely obliviated is their ethics and the ethical aspects of being a human to another individual.
[00:50:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. A lot of people do. They and it's, well, and it's easier to advocate your personal power over to somebody else instead of actually going, hey. I am going to use my power to achieve whatever good I wanna achieve or bad, you know, whether you're good or bad. You do have the power to to go and forward whatever direction you wanna go. But a lot of people don't wanna go that direction because it's it's takes too much work. You have to get uncomfortable. You have to do stuff that you really don't care to do at that moment. You'd rather sit at home and and, you know, play video games than to to go off and and do, you know, do the hard work to learn what it takes to make, you know, no, your millions or or mill billions or whatever it is you wanna you're trying to make, whatever your end end means are.
So a lot of people, sadly, yeah, they've got free will to do what they want. But the problem is is that it's easier to not have to worry about flexing that heart that will. It's kinda like, oh, what was that, that movie that had, shit. Was it Brad Pitt or Wahlberg? I think it's Brad Pitt. And they were, it was kinda like, the TVA for, in in Loki, except it was before the whole Marvel thing. And I wanna say Emily Blunt was in it, but I don't think that's right. It's something the bureau.
[00:51:49] Rich Chelson:
Oh, Adjustment Bureau.
[00:51:51] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. That's it. It was Yeah.
[00:51:53] Rich Chelson:
That wasn't Brad Pitt, was it?
[00:51:56] Bryan Goodwin:
I keep saying either him or, like, the the, the I do think it was Mark Woburn. I I
[00:52:03] Rich Chelson:
no. No. No. No. No. What what dang it. Wasn't it no. I don't think it was him either.
[00:52:12] Bryan Goodwin:
I was thinking Yeah. But, yeah, it was the adjustment bureau. I know I remember that now. I could well, yeah.
[00:52:18] Rich Chelson:
Matt Damon. Yeah. Yeah. What's up? Matt Damon. Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna say I was gonna say I was gonna say, hold on. Hold on. Because, well, Brad Pitt, I wasn't
[00:52:30] Bryan Goodwin:
sold on. Mark Wahlberg, no, because of his character. I think it was him, but at the same time, it was but yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, yeah, I met. And there was somebody from from, Northeast. So but, yeah, one of kind of that whole thing about what they were about, how they were the the man and the woman who were they the judgment bureau kept saying, yeah. Y'all aren't supposed to be together, and they would keep trying to get back together.
[00:53:01] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:53:02] Bryan Goodwin:
I think, I really always took that as being a movie about true will. Your free will Yeah. Can if you're willing to fight and climb over every possible obstacle that whoever it is throws in your way to keep you from reaching whatever your goal is and you still get to it, that's proof that you actually know what free will is and you're willing to exercise it so the universe will allow you. Or in this case, it was the creator. The the over overseeing creator of of the world. While most people, they just kind of accept the fact. Something gets in their way. They're like, okay. Well, I guess it wasn't meant to be, and they kinda wander off. Right. And decide, no. Never mind. We'll just go with whatever Everybody else has decided. The adjustment bureau has decided. Yeah. And that's why a lot of people sadly do these days. They just kind of like, oh, well, I was gonna try it. I did try it. Sort of tried it, but it didn't work out. So that's okay. Dude, you didn't even get out of the door and you've decided that it wasn't worth it.
You'd you know, wait until you get 5 locks off of the pajamas. Exactly. You haven't even climbed out of your pajamas. You're still standing around in your underwear. Come on, man. Just, you know, try it out. You know, do something with yourself.
[00:54:23] Rich Chelson:
Hey. Long as I got a cup of coffee on my end, I don't care.
[00:54:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly. We we can walk, you know, you'll go down the street in the underwear while you got that coffee in your hand. Yeah. By god. Amen.
[00:54:37] Duuude-Ron :
Amen. Coffee and a cigarette.
[00:54:40] Bryan Goodwin:
Yes, sir. Say well, I'll I'll do the coffee. I don't do the cigarette no more. So Well, good job. I'm glad, dude. So yeah. And had one and, and had had one since, October of, 22. Yeah.
[00:54:53] Rich Chelson:
Really? Hell yeah.
[00:54:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Dude, that's awesome. I'm glad. 2nd time I quit. Hope I believe this time, it is permanently because I I learned my lesson last time. I thought, you know, after I quit, I'd I'd quit for almost oh, actually, it's been almost 12 years that I'd quit. And I was like, you know what? Who wonder? I bet y'all could have just one on the weekend or whatever. I had that one. I was like, oh, okay. Wow. That was really nice. I mean, that that good. I mean, yeah, it it was pretty tasty. Good. So the next night, I was like, yeah. I'll have another one because it's the weekend. I just had one last night. We're good. I'm I'm holding my limit. Right. Right. And a couple hours later, I was like, you know what? I'm gonna have another one. He goes, that's pretty good.
And then so from there, about about a month later, I was at back up to 2 pack. Wow. Hacking my freaking head off, and I was noticing that smoking was fucking with me hard.
[00:55:53] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:55:54] Bryan Goodwin:
And You know, and I quit I stuck with it for 2 years.
[00:55:58] Duuude-Ron :
Wow. That's cool, dude. You know what? And I quit about 45 minutes ago, and now I'm having another one. I was gonna say, and then and it like And about like me 40 minutes ago. After I get with this one, I'll quit for about 45 minutes, and I'll have another one. Yeah. And I've
[00:56:16] Bryan Goodwin:
realized that I am a board smoker. That was that's my big problem. And so I I I wouldn't be able to do your job there there, dude, because yeah. I'm I'm just just yeah. One right after another. Yep. One right after the other. Damn near. Like, 7 took it took maybe a month for me to get back up 2 pack a day, and that was just I was like and whenever I hit that, I was like, oh, son of a bitch. Alright. We can't be doing it. I can't be doing this no more. And I'd kinda try to quit, and I would we yeah. And then the weekend would come along. I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah. I'm gonna have cigarettes, and I'd start smoking again. Because, Jana went went back to smoking also, and so I was just like it was like, oh, okay. Okay. And I finally had to since just why I had to do is I had to center myself in a place and go, we're not doing this no more. Come, and it was, let's see, 3 months before October. So that'd been what? September,
[00:57:19] Duuude-Ron :
October, November. So September, or July.
[00:57:22] Bryan Goodwin:
July. So around July, I was just like, fuck it. I am not doing this no more. I would sit there and lay down, and I I actually have a good feeling or good thought that I probably have some type of, of, arrhythmia going on. Because there were several times where I could lay down and I could feel my heart going, one's good heartbeat. 2 3. 123. 123. I I was just like, okay. Am I doing this myself or am I actually, you know, or am I actually feeling this? And so I would you know, I ended up getting up several different, of the, of the the pulse apps for, for your phone. So you could, it would actually shine the light on your finger, and it you it would actually you could actually, it would actually watch the, the blood, flow through your fingertips and stuff. Yep. And just to so I could see, am I seeing the same thing that I was seeing?
And, some some of them would show and say kinda point out. It's like, yeah. Something's going on here. And then there's others that would just go, yeah, dude. You're you're it's it's in your head, man. Stop being an idiot. So so I didn't know, but at the same time, I was like, alright. We're gonna stop this. And I've still had little instances of that, but they were not as
[00:58:53] Rich Chelson:
strong as what they were whenever I was actually smoking. Okay. Hold on. Hold on a hold on a second. Hold on. Before we go much further, let's have another PSA. Okay? Kids, we are, don't rely on the apps on your phone.
[00:59:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Don't yeah. Don't rely on apps on your phone. The closest you can actually come is and it but it's not approved by the FDA is the well, there are actual apps that you can use. But, like, the, the Apple Watch, it's EKG's, system is it's not approved by the FDA, but it is just right there next to it. Well, you know,
[00:59:31] Rich Chelson:
the, yeah.
[00:59:32] Bryan Goodwin:
And then there is one that you actually there with that. It's got a it's got a little pad that you that you actually put a finger you put one finger on each pad, and it uses a very mild form of electricity to go through to actually see how your heart acts. And it acts and it's actually FDA approved. Well,
[00:59:52] Rich Chelson:
well, either way But it toe chest to the doctor
[00:59:56] Bryan Goodwin:
and get it checked. It would it would be better to take your ass to the doctor. But I So But the problem that I have with that is that Obama fucked the damn system up. I can't afford the doctor now. I can afford the doctor back when he said nobody can afford the doctor.
[01:00:10] Rich Chelson:
Say, he was a dumbass. Well, yeah, we well, we know this. That was I I mean I mean, you say you you say But before Obamacare,
[01:00:19] Bryan Goodwin:
we I was I had health care. Right. Now I you know, every year, I go on ahead and I go over on the over on to, health care dot gov just to kinda more as it's become more of a shits and giggle type thing because it's like, alright. Let's see what our numbers are to this this year. And I'll put all my information in, and it's like, oh, yeah. We've got some. And I'll look at comp, you know, or whatever their the lowest one is. It's not copper. Bronze. The bronze. Copper's at real, real low and then as the economy level. But anyhow, the the the bronze level and they're still telling me $2,000 a month Mhmm. For me and my wife.
You know why? I'm like, fuck you. That is insane. Who can afford 2 grand?
[01:01:08] Rich Chelson:
Well, apparently, the Democrats think we can.
[01:01:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Man, I'm I'm live there's a reason why I only have a $600 a month, house payment. Right. And then granted that's expensive to some people, but considering that my kids in Amarillo struggled to find an apartment that was under $800.
[01:01:35] Rich Chelson:
Oh my God.
[01:01:36] Bryan Goodwin:
I'll trade you all. Yeah. The room. Yeah. You're you're a grand or something like that a month. Thank you.
[01:01:42] Rich Chelson:
No. I'm 13.60. Yeah. One bedroom apartment.
[01:01:47] Bryan Goodwin:
One bedroom apartment. Yeah. It has gotten stupid and insane.
[01:01:53] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. And and the thing is, this is one of the cheap ones.
[01:01:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You can go cheaper, but by damn, you ain't gonna have anything inside of that house because it's getting kicked in, but by somebody every night.
[01:02:07] Rich Chelson:
Right. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, you can find $4 and $500 rent, but that's in neighborhoods where, yeah,
[01:02:17] Bryan Goodwin:
it it it's You don't wanna go and the walls are cinder block. And yeah. Yeah. You are gonna be a grain of salt in the sea of pepper.
[01:02:26] Rich Chelson:
That's that that's right.
[01:02:29] Bryan Goodwin:
And sorry to make that sound like it's, it's racist, but I've lived in whenever I was whenever I was younger. There was a time that I actually had to go and and and was in that neck of the woods where I had to try to find, you know, 3 for me, it was way too much to be spending for $300 a month
[01:02:51] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:02:52] Bryan Goodwin:
In Emerald. But that was and that was expensive, but that was as cheap. Because I I rent at the time, I think it was, like, 500 and something. And and Emerald whenever I went lived with my roommate. And I had to live on the bad part of town. And I'm it was called bad part of town. My daughter, she knows what the bad part of town's like. That is a grand north of, what they call an Emerald North side of of town. Right. Right. Got a lot of Somalis who are fresh off the boat.
[01:03:26] Rich Chelson:
Oh, wow.
[01:03:27] Bryan Goodwin:
And so there was many times she got she came, she would go to get into her car. And for whatever reason, there was some dude that she said she knew who it was, but she and stuff. But, not about to confront him. But for whatever reason, there was a dude who liked to walk around barefoot all over the top of her car.
[01:03:50] Rich Chelson:
Really?
[01:03:52] Bryan Goodwin:
And so she she Barefoot. Yeah. Walk barefooted. Because then she said there'd be more times than not. There'd be a big or 2 right in the middle of the hood of her car. Usually, being some more some more on, on the roof and then be some more going down the, over on the trunk. Like, that she we would walk up in the cross. He didn't ever go and step on the glass. Thank god.
[01:04:17] Rich Chelson:
Well, thank goodness.
[01:04:19] Bryan Goodwin:
But at the same time, I mean, she was, like, going, I yeah. Jaden went off and loaned and gave gave her one of his pistols, and it's like, you keep us on you at all time. Right. Right. She was trying to she was just trying to make ends meet, you know, with with, her dickhead boyfriend that, she had at the moment. And, thankfully, he she finally got smart enough and saw saw the, the right way and, like, kicked his ass to the curb and quickly found another guy, and then quickly after that, got pregnant. Thank god you at least because we tell her now. I was like, you better know exactly how lucky you are that you just happen to fall on a bed with a decent guy. Because everything we heard because every time when we first were learning about Max and he knows about this, all this that we were talking about. Because my daughter calls me damn near daily.
And we just talk. Just bullshit. She's just drama at work. Oh, okay. Yeah. I'll jump in there. I have fun with drama at work and all. But, she was when she, when she called me up to tell me that she was pregnant, she was scared to death. She was, like, going, dad's gonna kill me. And, thankfully, Jen why? Because she knew she when she wasn't in any position to be getting pregnant, right, Well, I understand. She just she just left an asshat of a boyfriend. Right. Right. And, like, within 2 months after meeting up with with new boyfriend, all of a sudden, she's going, I'm pregnant.
And we're, like, going, kid, hello. You know what I was telling you? Wait. Hold off on the rest of this. Hold off trying to get another boy for I was trying to tell her wait for 2 years. Right. And the reason why I told her wait for 2 years because I wanted her to realize she can stand on her own 2 damn feet. Exactly. Exactly. She can do it when she is when she she won't be near as afraid of losing the guy or pissing the guy off where he threatened to leave her. She can go pee. Door's out there, ass. Move. You know? Yeah. See you later. Perfect. And I wanted her to have that type of power, and she didn't. She she ended up falling, falling for this one guy. And at first, we got she was kinda we were like, great. So my wife called and was like, hey. Here in a moment, Alexis is gonna call you. She's gonna tell you that she's gonna let you know that she's pregnant.
Alright. What? Man, I I was getting I kinda was thinking the truth. I was like, oh god. I'm gonna have damn it. I'm, you know, I'm gonna have to rip into her. I'm gonna let her know the fury of all 9 hells and stuff. I was getting getting worked up, and then I was, like, going, no. There's no need to. She's beating her own self up right now.
[01:07:16] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:07:17] Bryan Goodwin:
There's no need for me to get all preachy, yell y, and stuff. Just one, I'm sure Janet's already done it. I I just got that little message from Janet on it, and I was just like, okay. I'm sure Janet has already bitched at her screen better and and stuff and made her feel, you know, Lauren of snake's belly and wagon wheel rut. And then it's like, okay.
[01:07:41] Rich Chelson:
Let me ask you a question. And and, I mean, this was for all of us because I'm I'm in on this too. But the damage is already done. So why are we getting upset? You know? Because
[01:07:54] Bryan Goodwin:
we because we wanted to we wanted to make sure she understood she fucked up knowing that pro full gun and well. Because she was scared she was scared to tell me. So that tells me. She was she knew she fucked up. She was afraid. She was already feeling bad. And that's one reason why I did when it came to when I actually got the call from her, I was calm. Right. And she said that scared the shit out of her.
[01:08:18] Rich Chelson:
It's just like, oh my god. He's gonna kill me.
[01:08:21] Bryan Goodwin:
It it because it's like well, you know, because the one I was doing like, so what are we gonna do? She's like, well, I'm gonna keep it. Alright. Well, at least your your answer to the first question right. At least keep it or give it up for adoption. I would have actually preferred adoption at the time because we didn't know anything about Mac. Right. But, you know, anything other than than abortion. Right. Right. However she wanted to go, that that's fine as long as it wasn't, I'm gonna go have an abortion. I would've been like, no. No. You did. Congratulations. You fucked up. You made an adult choice. You get to sleep in the bed. You don't get the easy out. Mhmm. But so I just we talked it through. It's like, well, what are your plans and all that? Just kinda let her know. It's like, well, I'm disappointed.
You already know I'm disappointed. I can tell you, you know, I'm disappointed, but just from the sound of your voice. But she's our grandbaby. We'll bring she's welcome. Yeah. Mom may throw a fit here and there, but she's gonna welcome it in. She just gotta adjust it to the thought of her now she has to look at the fact that, yeah, she's getting older. She's going to have she's doing now grandma. Alright? Because when my my my oldest daughter, she's I I actually have another another grand grandchild. And my oldest daughter that I really don't have much of a relationship with and and and stuff. And I have a grandson, but at the same time, I I don't have a a relationship with him because, one, I can't get past the shit that my daughter pulled. Okay. 2, I can't get past the shit that her grandmother talked her into porn.
[01:10:01] Rich Chelson:
Oh, wow.
[01:10:02] Bryan Goodwin:
And it it's easy was easy for my for my daughter to do that because when she was younger, she had what was what's called reactive attachment disorder. And so essentially, what that means is attachment, she never really had a good attachment to her mom.
[01:10:21] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:10:23] Bryan Goodwin:
The 1st year of her life, I was total asshole. I was like, okay. Congratulations. Yeah. You you got, you got pregnant. You have a good time. You know, chase me down in court if that's what you feel like you need to do. It's kind of the direction I took. Right. And it took about a year, and then all of a sudden, I had had police, the, the Potter County, sheriff come knocking on my door going, are you Brian Goodwin? Yep. Hand me a handful of papers saying you've been served and walked away. And I'm like, oh, shit. What the hell am I being served about? Oh, yeah. That thing. Yeah. That will but that problem that I thought I was able to just easily walk away from came sleeping right back all of a sudden. Oh, yeah. No. No. Big life lesson.
And so we eventually, so I during that time, Melissa, was in the was in the picture, and then she'd go out. Melissa is, my daughter's biological. Okay. And she was very she she has her own actual mental illnesses. She's definitely bipolar at best. And so she would come into the picture and she would go out. And I was go I I was I'd already gotten myself all set up to go under the navy. And so and, so I got to spend basically a year with her. Now by the time she turned 2, I decided, okay. Well, I've gotta go in the navy. I've gotta find a way of being able to to pay child support on this on this, kiddo that I've I've now got. Right. And, I can't do it and, live in Amarillo at the same time.
So the only way I can know that I can actually make it bring some money in and, you know, be able to afford, everything else. It I need to and get free housing at the same time is join the military. And like I said, I didn't wanna be a bullet sponge, so there's no use of me going into being a marine. I didn't really wanna go do army just because y'all run around way too much fucking too much on your feet. So not didn't wanna do that. Not that you when wars do come up, you all eventually get in the middle of battles, and I wanted to stay away from as much flying lead as I possibly could. No. I was like, let's do let's do Air Force. And Air Force was like going, yeah.
You see this kid you got? Yeah. We're not taking it because of the kid. Motherfucker. Alright. So I ended up wind wind up in the navy. I figured, hell, yeah. I'm I'm far enough. We don't have any we don't have any any guns that will, that will shoot out 12 miles out in the sea. So, you know, I'm at least pretty safe. They have to find a way of getting a boat out there, and we'll see them coming. So so that was my my reason to go into the Navy. It's a sub, dude. Then you wouldn't say it. Sub. Yeah. Well, no. But we'd probably hear it because I'm sure you could probably hear, knowing they're lucky they'd probably come up. They'd probably be floating up next to it. They're during cold prayer or something, so you'd hear you'd hear their music coming through the, through the sub walls.
Oh, damn it. That was racist, wasn't it? Oh, well. So, no. That wasn't racist. That was theist. It's what it was. I'm making fun of their the of their, other religion. Build a bridge. Get over it. Y'all make fun of their Catholics and and, and the Protestants. So Right. Deal with it. Yeah. Build a bridge and deal with it. So but anyhow so, that was that was my, my whole line of things. So I, yeah, I I I have 2 grandkids. 1 of them I, don't see very often, and, I have seen him a few times. Do know when his birthday is and things like that. I mean, I I know I know a bit about him, but I don't see him very much just because, I see grandma, I'm liable to go to prison, and I really don't care to go to prison. I I kinda like being free.
So I would rather sacrifice my relationship with my grandson than go to prison. Yeah. It it would at least the the the best it would end up being is just elder abuse is what it would be. Because I'm I'm as I like preach, minding, you know, controlling your emotions, you're responsible for your emotions, I would be responsible for the fact that I would just have to reach out in a very forceful way and readjust her neck. So, you know Sure. Right. Right. Right. I swear. Well, you know, I and You know what I mean? More joke than it is anything. Yeah. It's funny. Y'all trying to listen to this and go, hey. He's he's advocating violence. No. It's more I'm I'm talk. Alright? I'm all talk, just to let you know. I talk more shit than I than my ass does. Alright? So so just know that. I am
[01:15:24] Rich Chelson:
no. I but I don't You're gonna tell me this, dude. I already know this.
[01:15:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But the the listeners who may be on the opposite side of the aisle of me going, oh. Oh. Look at that. He's he's he's a he's a he's advocating violence. It's like Hey.
[01:15:40] Rich Chelson:
Hey, Brian. Yeah. I think I think I think we've done sent them off to their therapist, like, 3 times over already. Oh, I'm sure we have, but at the same time, they're still willing to hang around.
[01:15:51] Bryan Goodwin:
But, but anyhow, so the whole long story on this thing is just the fact that I knew that Alexis had beat her herself up over the over the, the, fact that she had essentially not not essentially. She had messed up and had gotten pregnant from a guy that we had, knew nothing about. Right. And so we started learning more about Max. And what we were learning, honestly, wasn't good. Uh-huh. My dad, he had gone to prison for theft. He had got armed robbery. Okay. And it's been so bits there. He was, he was, at, he was a recovering junkie. Okay. His dad had actually gotten him addicted to heroin.
Was the first one to give him heroin. Oh, wow. So he he came from a really, winter family.
[01:16:46] Rich Chelson:
You know. Right.
[01:16:48] Bryan Goodwin:
And so we had, you know, all this stuff, and I kept hearing more and more about Max. I was just going, oh god, man. But that's Jesus Christ. What did she who's who's she got my end with? And what she what we come to find out is and as we got to know Max and got to learn about him, it it was yeah. He was he had back when he was, back when he was younger, yeah, he was that. And he had while he spent time in prison, he realized this fucking sucked. Right. Wanna be here no more. Well, he's been fighting in his way out of that out of that hole ever since.
And he still has to fight the ramifications of it. So he still is trying he almost got into he got a new job. He's been looking for another job because he's gotten really kinda disillusioned with the company that he's working for right now. And he's like, alright. Well, I'm you know, let's go look at this place. And this place is like, yeah. Yeah. We like it. We're gonna have to do a background check on you, though. And he's like, well, just to let you know, you're gonna find, find some, some felonies in there because of this and this and that. Mhmm. But they also happened, you know, several several years ago, and I am not that person no more. Right. And it's like, well, yeah, I'm I I know that, but at the same time, the, HR for the for the comp the corporation that he's,
[01:18:13] Rich Chelson:
that he's with, they kinda have to make the final decision on that. And, sadly, he didn't get it because of the because of those stuff. Yeah. And see and now now now now now now now to now to see, this is something this something that, that a freaking apps meant, you know, upsets me quite a bit, especially when someone who is trying to be better and do better. And I mean, let's say let's say 10, 15 years have gone by. Yeah. Okay. They've done their time. They've paid the price. Why, why, why does all these businesses, make them still pay after 10, 15 years? I mean, these guys are not getting in trouble or girls.
Okay. I want to be all inclusive on that. But still, you know, they've they've come this far. They're doing everything they can to be straight honest, but yet something that happened 10, 15 years ago, they're, oh, no. We can't do this because we can't trust you. Excuse me?
[01:19:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Sorry. If they were doing stuff that wasn't trustworthy, they would have re offended down the road a lot sooner than than 15 years ago. Right. And I that's one of the big things. I think, I I understand. Okay. If you got busted for embezzlement, you probably need to be need to not be trusted around the bank. Right. Right. Alright. Probably a good thing to to not be trusted around the bank because, you you felt you used to come to some type of temptation somewhere around. Them. So I kinda get some places where we, a scarlet letter might need to be hung around.
[01:19:56] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Yeah. But if
[01:19:59] Bryan Goodwin:
but at the same time, the vast majority of people who have gone to prison for even felonious, possession. Alright? Maybe they got busted with, you know, £4 a pot or something. Right. Alright? If anything, I would be cheering for those folks because they're freaking entrepreneurs that just went down the wrong damn line. Right. Right. They just So just and just people who are willing to bust and hustle. Yeah. They're willing to hustle. And so why not let them bring them into a sales position?
[01:20:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh, well, yeah. Let them do it legally. Yeah. Let him learn how to sell legally. And see well, okay. Hang on. Hang on. Just just to, think here, though. Okay. Let's back up to the guy who or a person who who embezzled. Let's say it was, again, 15, 20 years ago, has not done it since.
[01:21:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[01:21:02] Rich Chelson:
Why wouldn't you trust that person? I mean, you know, I mean, because there's, there's no proof it's been done again.
[01:21:10] Bryan Goodwin:
You know? No. There's no proof. And I, and I agree with that, but I, and I would almost say, give them a chance again if they if they wanted to. Right. But be they have to also be okay with the fact that they have to build that trust up, and that trust is not well, you get to be manager in 4 months. Oh, no. No. You you're gonna start out being being
[01:21:34] Rich Chelson:
a a teller, and you're probably gonna get audited twice as much as the standard person. Well yeah. And that's okay with that. Yeah. And that's fine. But but And but see, the thing is so, and you see, but, but you see, the thing is nobody's gonna hire people like that. Like, like the guy, he he was saying that got busted with £4 of weed or whatnot. No one's gonna hire him because it's a felony. He's a felon. They don't care what it is. If it's a felony, you will not have any type of decent job ever again.
[01:22:10] Bryan Goodwin:
You might
[01:22:11] Rich Chelson:
you might luck out and find 1 or 2, but you're gonna have to do a lot of looking.
[01:22:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. No. And that's what Max is having to find out right now. Right. And he's he's doing what he can. He he's hopping, as, all the leads that he can find. And he gets frustrated. Well, I justifiably so. Because, I mean, there's times where, like the, like the sales position, he was just this freaking close. They he was gonna he was gonna become it, and then they had to pass it over to, to a regional manager or someone like that to go to look it over HR someone in HR, and they went, oh, well, that's that's felony. We we can't have that. Yeah. No. But at the same time, that's that's where I actually advocate for, for criminals to actually get into get into, into entrepreneurship.
Right. Because they, 1, the ones who actually start making a good business and start making a a good living, they can bring in the others who aren't entrepreneurial material.
[01:23:21] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[01:23:23] Bryan Goodwin:
And those who aren't entrepreneurial material make good employees. They may not think on their feet as fast as an entrepreneur does, but they do know how to follow rules. They do know how to follow, and they can go. And the and the the owner or the entrepreneur can go through and go, man, I know this is tough. And he can actually help coach these people through. He can come up with a, I I'm here. I'm hiring just Khan. We we are Khan Khan Incorporated. You know? Right. We we we do we make 8383 different items, and I pay you a a decent wage. And what what is a decent wage? What they agreed to being a decent wage. Right. How all businesses actually work, you know, because so many people run around go, go, well, I'm worth a $100,000.
No. You think you're worth a $100,000. The company you're wanting to work for thinks that because you have not worked any place before and that you are only 22 years old, you've gotta prove yourself first before you become a $100,000 material. So they think you're only worth maybe $40,000, and that's being very generous. That's very generous. And and and a lot of lot of gen, the gen z, they wake out. They're like, oh, they're taking advantage of me. No. You're having to do the fucking work first, man. Right. You gotta bust your ass. You gotta put in the time. Millennials figured this out. They were bitching, moaning, groaning, crying, pissing, cussing, everything they got possibly good. Because they wanted that $100,000 also.
Mhmm. And guess what? Gen z, us Gen zers, we betched about the lack of pay y'all just as much as everybody else did. When we first started, it's like, goddamn, man. We gotta work all the goddamn time. I'd like to be able to go fucking Canyon sometime. But no. I gotta fucking work because, you know, and we would we all bitch about the same stuff because we're all learning the same stuff. Right. And it's I mean, granted, yeah, it was gen xers. We love to go off and give jit z and and the millennials a hard time just because, well, first off, they're young, they're dumb, and they're idiots. But at the same time, it's just, that's, you know, right of passage. The seniors would always haze the freshmen. Right? Right. So, you know, we we gotta give the gens, gen z and now gen alpha. We gotta give them 8 ways of hell just so they know they're full of shit. We gotta take the piss out of them. They think they they know everything and they're fixing to find out.
They don't know squat. And Right. So that's that's part of the fun. That's part of of the of the line and the becoming. And now the millennials are starting to get in the get in there, and they're seeing Gen Alpha come in. They're going goddamn, man. We are whole 8 ways of scrutiny. All we can do is stand there and go, yeah. That's kinda what we thought about to you too. So that's alright. Right. Right.
[01:26:19] Rich Chelson:
So it's Yeah. It's funny. It's funny when you actually stop and sit there and look at it and think about it, and and you're just like remembering the freaking progression over time. And it's like, oh my god. This is crazy, you know?
[01:26:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah.
[01:26:37] Rich Chelson:
It's just yeah. Because, yeah. I don't know. I mean, anymore, just, what about what do you think about that, minimum wage hike that California shoved up the their, state's ass?
[01:26:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, well, I think,
[01:26:55] Rich Chelson:
that's $20.22 an hour for a fast food.
[01:26:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And everything like that? Yeah. I mean, it's gonna be great for the robotics industry.
[01:27:05] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:27:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Because that's what they're gonna do. They're gonna put in more kiosks, and Burger King's already working on a robo burger maker.
[01:27:13] Rich Chelson:
Oh, they've done well, they've done a lot of companies have have done shutdown because they can't afford the $20, 22 food prices, at fast food restaurants have tripled.
[01:27:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. No. We go to, we go to Wendy. 22 French fries and a large Coke. We're dropping, we're dropping the $10 bill plus some change.
[01:27:37] Rich Chelson:
Oh, well, that's like, that's like down here. I, I, I, went to taco bell. I got one crunch rep. Oh God. Yeah. Okay. And and a and a sweet tea. Right? $9.73. Yeah.
[01:27:53] Bryan Goodwin:
The only thing I got in this Come on. Taco Bell was the poor man food. You can go off and get a 6 pack for $5 and eat like a king for for a week.
[01:28:03] Rich Chelson:
Not now, man. It's such a good thing. Tacos is, like, 30 freaking dollars.
[01:28:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, they took all the good for yum yum food industries. I would I would I would love to go and meet the meet the the people who make the decisions there. Right. Because I would love to line them all up, put on a heavy metal gauntlet on my hand, and then just run out with my hand out and just smack every single one of them in the face with it. Right. Because burg, Taco Bell, they took away the double decker taco, which is my favorite freaking taco. They took away the, chili cheese burrito, which is one of my favorite freaking burritos. And they took away, what was another, the steak soft tacos. Got rid of that too. It's like, god dang, man. All the the only thing left for me to really eat is the crunchwrap supreme. Oh, the grilled stuffed burrito. They got rid of it too.
Yeah. Yeah. Top of the grill is the freaking the the grilled stuffed, stuffed, tostada thing, the flat the flat talk, flat burrito thingy.
[01:29:13] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[01:29:14] Bryan Goodwin:
So I most of the time now, I go whenever I go up there, I'm ordering a 6 pack of of soft talking. Mhmm. Which I'm still walking out of there dropping our damn near 20 freaking bugs. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, what about Waffle House?
[01:29:30] Rich Chelson:
You seen a Waffle House menu lately?
[01:29:33] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. I haven't been in a Waffle House in a while. They've got they've got mainly, breakfast bowls.
[01:29:40] Rich Chelson:
They they do have, eggs and bacon and ham and waffles, but you know how they used to have steak and eggs and all this other stuff? Yeah. You can get a ham the ham steak and eggs and bacon and No. Can't afford the ham anymore. It's gone. Oh, no. No. No. The ham's there. They've just changed the menu. Okay. And now it's a it's it's say, it's like a a sausage, bacon, and and egg and hash brown bowl, a sausage, bacon, and egg, and but they don't have the steak no more. They don't, if you get like the 2 eggs and the toast and the waffle, you can get sausage, bacon, or country ham, but that's that's the only one on there. And then on the back, they have the, you know, breakfast stuff, like the Texas melt and stuff. They don't have near the they don't have near the menu that they used to have because before,
[01:30:34] Bryan Goodwin:
their menu you know, it was about Yeah. It was a it was a a tri fold menu.
[01:30:40] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But but every every square inch of that of that menu was covered with with an item, a menu item.
[01:30:50] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. No. Really?
[01:30:52] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's it's long. It's flat. It's about like that. And I got 2 rows, Both sides. Flip it. 2 rows.
[01:30:59] Bryan Goodwin:
And then Yeah. Well, I haven't made it to talk to a waffle house in forever just because my wife and Janet doesn't like Taco Bell. I I keep one I'm stuck on Taco Bell. Yeah. Doesn't like Waffle House. And so I've it's like there's been a couple times where I've parked at places, and I'm like, do I really wanna walk that half mile down the road? You go to that Right. Waffle house down there? No. No. I don't feel like blocking that part. So but Yum Industries also, it also owns, Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut's dropped their their, their lunch, lunch buffet.
Oh, I know. It pisses me off. Off. Oh, I know. It pisses me off. I used to go there. I could eat all the pizza I wanted for well, it started out at 13 and then right before the COVID hit. And they it was up, like, $15 a person. But at the same time, it was like, yes. It was you can get yourself stuff stupid. $15. It was awesome.
[01:31:56] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[01:31:58] Bryan Goodwin:
And now it's like, no. No. No. We, we don't think we're ever bringing that back. It's like, well, why? That's what brought everybody in for lunch. You know? That's that was the main lunch deal was go in because maybe they you get lucky and you got the one one chef that liked, liked jalapenos and everything. And so you can get, like, 5 different
[01:32:18] Rich Chelson:
pizzas with with jalapenos. It, though. Think about it. Think about it. $15 buffet. You could eat a $15 buffet or buy a $25 pizza.
[01:32:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, but at the same time, their pizzas now are you can buy 2 for 10 doll 10 large single topic or actually well, depending on which week it is, kinda awesome. Like, you can do a $10 one topping sometimes, or you could do $10 3 toppings. And I think they actually bumped it up to, like, $12. But still, a large 12, 3 topping for for $12. I mean, you can actually get it get in and out without spending
[01:32:59] Rich Chelson:
$50 worth of food. Right. Right. The only thing is, though, is they use they use too much tomato sauce just like tomatoes, I think.
[01:33:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Domino well, Domino's pizza, I don't know what it is. Domino's I remember growing up. Domino's was a shit, man. Because we would order we'd order out and and and well, of course, at the same time, it was whenever I only got to have Domino's whenever I went to see my mom in Dallas because, well, Dumas doesn't have Domino's. They had they they had a a a Pizza Hut. They didn't deliver to sunroom. So, you know, we had to drive all the way to do this. So it was so to to, you know, keep wanting to say Papa John's, but, Domino's, it was you know, that was really cool. It was and it was good pizza.
And they were also the people who made the get there in 30 or it's free. Right. Right. And so, yeah, you'd end up having guys. You'd hear them. He comes screeching up to the to the curb. Sometimes the car is still be in the middle of the road, and he's just got trucking. But it was Oh. But it was good. You had some wonder you you the pizza itself was good. I found out what what actually, they have a weird kind of, kind of a crumbly thing on the edge of their crust all the time. Mhmm. And it took me forever to finally figure out what that is. That's just corn meal. They take their bread they take their their dough, and as they're the as they're making it, they they pop it in into cornmeal a couple times, and that's what actually browns the edge up as much as he does. But at the same time yeah. Something's off now about about Domino. Papa John used to be really rocking for a long while, but,
[01:34:49] Rich Chelson:
again, I can only get Papa John's when I was in Dallas. So Yeah. Yeah. Papa John's, I've only had a couple times. Yeah. Domino's. Yeah. Freaking Domino's has sucked for years. I like Godfathers.
[01:35:02] Bryan Goodwin:
Give me a There there's a couple of places that I could you could actually, at exit 101. You can get Godfather's Pizza over at the over at the Loves there. And, so it was like godfather's express or whatever. But, anyhow, I'd go in and get their their all made You know? Who's out of town on that yet? Got you. Got food running down. Yeah. He got grease dripping down in kid. Yeah. You look like a rabid jungle man.
[01:35:32] Rich Chelson:
All asleep in a coma.
[01:35:35] Duuude-Ron :
I haven't had godfathers in, dang, 20 years. Yeah. It's it's been Oh, so easily easily 20 years because they had one in Lincoln, Nebraska downtown off of P Street. I think it was 15th no. 12th and P or q. They had some godfathers had some good pizza.
[01:35:59] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Last last time I had godfather's was, I think, couple years ago.
[01:36:05] Duuude-Ron :
So You guys ever had Valentino's?
[01:36:09] Rich Chelson:
Valentino's? No? No. I've never had that. Nope. Okay.
[01:36:12] Duuude-Ron :
That started in Lincoln. Yeah. Valentino started in Lincoln.
[01:36:18] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:36:19] Duuude-Ron :
And it was I've probably more of a Nebraska thing. Same way with Runza. I don't know if you've ever heard of that, let alone ate 1.
[01:36:30] Rich Chelson:
Now I've I've never eaten 1, but, yes, I've heard of them. Because, I'm guessing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I used to live in Grand Island and run all up through Lincoln and Omaha and all like that. Okay. Yeah.
[01:36:46] Duuude-Ron :
Well, if you ever, ever, ever get that far north again, you gotta try our run zone.
[01:36:54] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Yeah. Whenever
[01:36:55] Duuude-Ron :
That's what I'm saying. When I get up there oh, yeah. Cheese runza, I'll eat 3 of them. Oh, wow.
[01:37:05] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. So you Some of the some of the interesting. You're talking about all these places. Okay. We all know what a Shoney is. Right? I think it's Shawnee. Shawnee's are Stuckey. I can't remember. Anyhow, either one of those. Y'all y'all heard it. Shawnee's are Stuckey. Right? Yeah. Okay. Hey. I can't remember which one it is now, but I've now that I open my mouth, I'm I'm getting I'm not a 100% sure. But on I forty, in between Ocmogie or not Ocmogie, Okema and Shawnee, There is a I wanna say it's a Shawnee, but I'm it might be a.
[01:37:40] Rich Chelson:
I'm one of That advertises
[01:37:42] Bryan Goodwin:
themselves as being halal. Now you know what a halal is? Being halal.
[01:37:48] Duuude-Ron :
No.
[01:37:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Uh-huh. Okay. It's it's muddling kosher is the best way to put it.
[01:37:54] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:37:55] Bryan Goodwin:
So, like, how kosher food blessed food for for, for, for the, for the Jewish folk. Yeah. You know, they have to have everything kosher. Yeah. Yep. Well, for for Muslims, it is being halal. So the food has to be prepared a particular way and all this for it to be okay for Muslims for the good Muslim to eat. And it's they they follow a lot of the same rules as what, as what the, the Israelites, followed because, well, they're they're both Abraham, Abraham, both products of Abraham. We all are. Oh, yeah. We all are. But, I mean, you have the Israelites were, were Isaac's tribe.
Right. The tribe that went off with I Isaac. Well, Ishmael became, became Israel. Or not Israel, but, became, Islam.
[01:38:55] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:38:56] Bryan Goodwin:
K. So so anyhow, they've got so they they have, but it they this, the Stuckey has got a they advertise Baskin Robbins there, but it's also they have a a big halal side, emblem on there. And it's like, how do you make ice cream be halal? How is that how is that a blessed how do they do that? Because, you know, you have to you when it comes to milk, in in a, in a kosher kitchen, you can't let milk be narrowed in the same area that the rest of the food is. If there's you know, you've got, like, multiple stoves that can only be used for certain types of items.
[01:39:38] Rich Chelson:
Well, okay. Okay. Is the goat from a cow, or is it from a goat? Or No. It's no. It's a cow. It's a cow.
[01:39:45] Bryan Goodwin:
It's Baskin Robbins, man. Well yeah. But but But again, but it How can And I mean how can the how do they guarantee that the the meat that they get for the for the hamburger is gonna be is halal. Because, if I'm thinking about it, you can't cook the meat with the cheese on it. Now I could be wrong. I I mean, I may we may end up somewhere down the road getting a getting a this one guy come on here and go, y'all are a bunch of fucking morons. Who said we couldn't have cheese on our hamburger meat? You know? So I don't know. But I'm just just what and I said it's it's a cow. Okay? So No. No. Islam doesn't. That's Hindu.
[01:40:27] Duuude-Ron :
That yeah. That's India
[01:40:29] Rich Chelson:
that worships cows. Okay. Yeah. I say I don't know the freaking difference.
[01:40:36] Bryan Goodwin:
But anyhow but now it, is one is is, they're whether they like it or not, they they're the cousin of Israel. Right. It's a it's a good over Oh, gotcha. Very oversimplified way of saying it. So, yeah, I know. I'm okay. The I'm sure I've got a on my head. So I I I'll go into Heidi. Someone wound up, dude. Yeah. I'm I they are. They're they got themselves twisted up. They're they're ready to go go bonkers, and so yeah. No. I'm here. You know? Fear, get over it. So you know? Right. But it's also could be the fact that it's after 10 o'clock. It's time for me to go to bed, but still but it it's just the and I forgot exact well, I was just talking about the fact that there's this, Amarin I wanna say it's a show me.
That is Halal. And it's like, but how does that become Halal? That is one, an American diner. And I okay. Granted. Yeah. Okay. So both of them bought the store. But again, how do just slapping the hello sign, you know, marker on on the billboard doesn't make the suddenly make the the hamburger meat be be blessed. Right. Right. But Or does it? Say I don't know. It's just one of those those those, like I saw that, and I was like, what the hell? How do you do that? Because I I because stop cum, like I said, is being is is kosher, and I've got a way basic thought on how on what's kosher, what's not kosher. And I'm sure I've gotten, my Jewish friends that I do have are probably going, oh my god, dude. What are you saying? Alright. You know? Hey, Faye. Yeah. Get get over here, man. I'm gonna slap you myself. You know? They're gonna No. No. Say, I remember I remember when we hold meat, when
[01:42:31] Rich Chelson:
when I was hollering meat back in the nineties. Okay. If a load was kosher, when it got loaded, a, rabbi had to be right there to watch it and then bless it and then, you know, do their thing. And you had a certain amount of time as soon as that trailer was loaded to get it to his destination. And if you miss that time, then you had to find another rabbi along the way and pay him money to rebless the load and not like this. And then and then take it on in. And believe me, companies got pissed if they had to get a load reblessed. Oh, man. Yeah. They was, yeah, they was on it.
But, I I mean, that's what I know, and that was back in the nineties. I don't know if it's changed, but we was hauling meat back then. So Yeah. Yeah. Most of the stuff, it it was just, yeah. It was, Yeah. Yeah. It was beef. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't mess with no pork or nothing.
[01:43:37] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. And and Islam and and and, and Jewish both are the same way. When it comes to, like, pork, nope. They ain't touching that stuff. You know, you the, the the cloven animals have to have, have to have room and stomach. You can't eat anything that doesn't have, any fish and doesn't have scales. And and,
[01:44:04] Rich Chelson:
So so, so, they've never had catfish. Yeah?
[01:44:09] Bryan Goodwin:
They've never had catfish or lobster. They can't have bought bottom feeders. Nope.
[01:44:14] Rich Chelson:
Is it not man. See? I don't have enough faith for the for
[01:44:20] Bryan Goodwin:
for those religion. But but do you understand why they had those rules in place? No. Well, one, they're bottom feeder. So? They're eating all the shit off off the ground. The same way as pig. They saw what they're eating. They knew that if they didn't cook, a pig good enough, That by damn something bad was gonna happen to you. You got that damn shit called trichinosis.
[01:44:44] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Right. Okay.
[01:44:46] Bryan Goodwin:
And so they knew that the son of a bitch. Well, but that one that one they you gotta remember that back then, it was alright. We we don't know exactly what's happening. They don't know that it's, you know, under due to the undertaker. They just know that pork, not a good thing. The animal wallers in mud, like, they hang around in its own shit. Not a clean animal. We're not gonna deal with anything with that. And we'll also look the fact that the okay. We got bottom feeders. They kinda do the same thing. They wall around in the in the mud down there. That's probably not the best stuff. So animals that don't have scales, we're no. We're not doing anything with it. So we can eat carp all you want. You know? But, you know, he he ain't carp. He can eat any other fish that he pull out of the sea as long as it's got scaled. If it doesn't have a scale, boom, back in the drain.
Oh my god. Again, if the cat if the animal if the animal has cloven hoods, it better have multiple stomach.
[01:45:45] Duuude-Ron :
Wow.
[01:45:46] Bryan Goodwin:
It's gotta have a rumen. That's one one of the reasons why they don't eat horse. Horse doesn't have a rumen. K. Uh-huh. Yeah. I also think that's why they don't I I don't know I I don't know if beer does or not. I don't I think they do.
[01:46:01] Duuude-Ron :
Hey. What's better than bacon?
[01:46:04] Bryan Goodwin:
So what's better than bacon? Well well, that's just that's just the devil tempting us in in to in the in the lawlessness.
[01:46:11] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. And, Rich, you said it correctly. What's better than bacon? More bacon. More bacon. More bacon. There's no other answer, man. There's no other actual answer. So
[01:46:26] Bryan Goodwin:
but alright. Well, guys, I hope y'all had a good time while, while we just be hammering around about all sorts of stupid bullshit. Yeah. Right. You're right. All sorts of stupid bullshit.

Oh, oh, is is that really gonna happen with Rich? Oh, no. Did Rich actually make it or you know? And and who knows? Maybe they start running a a a duuude pool. It seems like, is he actually gonna buy another jeep or not? You know, who knows? What this is we're this is wide open.

So, anyhow, for helipad. But, anyhow, all of that's neither here nor there. That's just that that some of the, some of the kinks and and hiccups that we're getting into with this whole this whole system. But anyhow, one of the great things is is that we still it's being value for value means that we're we are all time, talent, or treasure. It doesn't have to be your treasure. It can be your time. You can go through and and do something, talent, if you wanna make, make, you know, jingles or or or, cover art or anything like that. Chapter art. We chapter art. All of it.

We're just this is just kind of a a a experiment that a bunch of bunch of old gray beards are sitting around going, hey. I wonder if we can do this. And by gosh, we're gonna do it whether we, you know, whether we make $1,000,000 or we make 2¢.
You know? It's fair. It is what it is. We're we're here more for just having fun, sharing our lives with each other, you to come in and partake in the lives also. So, anyhow, so we got, got a lot of things that have kinda cropped up and happened from, from last week. And, we'll be dropping those, little tidbits in from time to time. So but, but anyhow so, Rich, what's been happening in your world? World?
[00:04:22] Rich Chelson:
Well, last weekend, they had, over the, over the weekend. You know, it was 420,
[00:04:31] Bryan Goodwin:
you know? Yeah. Yeah. And, Oh, you're good. Yep.
[00:04:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh my God. Yeah. I went I went I went driving down along the beach through, Biloxi. Right? Get through, get over the bridge from Ocean Springs, get over the bridge going down into Biloxi. And I get past the 1st set of casinos coming up to the 2nd set. And they're all set up over here on, I mean, right there on on the side of 90.
[00:04:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Had all these things and all these different Alabama, rec, a rec state?
[00:05:05] Rich Chelson:
You mean Mississippi?
[00:05:06] Bryan Goodwin:
I'd Or Mississippi, Mississippi. Yeah. Yeah. I think so because
[00:05:10] Rich Chelson:
they've got they've got CBD and kratom and all that shit all over the place down here.
[00:05:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, well, I know well, Oklahoma's got the you know, you got your CBD. You got your Kratob, but they're just they're actually one of the more liberal, more open I'm not gonna say liberal. They're more open not say liberal. Because liberally speaking, thinking about the blue haired weirdo. Talking about when I talk about liberal, I mean, more more, not even open, just just, Close minded? Well, I can't even say I can't even say more more, more inviting, but they are they're they're more inviting. They're they're just a lot freer. I mean, it didn't take much. They they're starting to crank down. The the the politicians realize, oh, wait. We really opened the the the the people with the, with the the proposition, prop 420 is actually what it was.
Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. It wound up being proposition 420. And and but it was one of those where they the people who made up the who wrote up the proposition made it really easy for anybody to do just about a get into the, to get into the end of the the the business of of, commercial cannabis.
[00:06:46] Duuude-Ron :
K.
[00:06:47] Bryan Goodwin:
And it was one of those where, at first, all all these companies got or companies all the all the cities and municipalities really wigged out. They're like, oh, no. We can't have this. And so they were setting up, you know, you can't be more than a mile or more than a mile or something like that away from a from a school. And so the way they had it set up, you couldn't be you you couldn't be within a certain range of Main Street. You couldn't be within a certain range of schools, and the schools in that city are all scattered all throughout town. Right. And so they it essentially shoved was gonna shove all the dispensaries outside outside of town, like, a good, you know, good half mile or 2 mile outside of town. That'd be great. And I guess somewhere in the because there's really no laws out in the county.
Yeah. But, again, they the the municipalities all set these up, and then quickly, they were I guess, they realized, like, oh, wait a minute. We shoved them outside of our our our area, so we're not gonna get any of the, tax money. And so they quickly reversed, and so everybody started coming back in into town. And at first, yeah, they were not I mean, I mean, Elk City still has, I think, way too many dispensary because there's more dispensaries than there are convenience stores. There are there are there is see here off the top of my head, there is Natural Way, which is the one that my wife goes to. Good Place. Actually, the lady who, runs, runs that used to run the pizza joint in, in Canoe.
But, so she's a great lady. Didn't realize she was quite as hippy dippy as she is, but she and she's a great lady. She's fun. She's she's funny. She's got, like, 3 or 4 people that that that work for her. They actually even have their own little grow operation or had their own grow operation. I'll get into that moment. And, but just very inviting. You got Jana really liked it because she could go in and they would, we've got this strain, and then they would talk about all the different, terpenes and what level whether it's a salvia or an indica or in this and the that, these those. I mean, it's kinda like me. When Jana goes to talking about, about marijuana and stuff, it's like me talking crypto to Ron.
I'm just kinda like, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you get goofy on it. Is that what you do? Yeah. Okay. Okay. I understand that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. A turpentine. I don't know what turpent oh, turpin. That that's something different? Oh. Right. Which, actually, turpen are like the THC, CBD, cvg, c b,
[00:09:37] Rich Chelson:
n. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. It's a whole budget fit. Hold it. You still get goofy on it. Right?
[00:09:43] Bryan Goodwin:
That's what they claim.
[00:09:45] Rich Chelson:
That's it.
[00:09:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Enough said. So that that's the important part. I'm Just I the only thing I really know on it is that and I and honestly, I don't fully understand it because INDEKA, as my wife says, gives you a full body high. Okay. I again, whenever I was, I'd I got out of the truck for, for 6 months. I was helping a friend. And so during Thanksgiving, we're all in stuff. I was like, you know what? Give me one of those. I've learned it and I took it, I took a gummy Just because, well, I wanna try a gummy. And gets the I don't know if I would say it gets you goofy. It was I started feeling
[00:10:25] Rich Chelson:
it. Mhmm.
[00:10:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Don't know exactly what a full body high is just because well, I I I had the weirdest fucking night I had, and I woke up still stoned. Just if you've not had marijuana and or THC in your system in let's see. That was 20 22, so that would have been 20 years. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Or no well, almost 20 years. So I hadn't had had THC in my system in about 40 years. And then I go off and pop the 100, 100 milligrams or a, a 100 gram or a 100 whatever, not 100 grams. Good thought. I'd still be stoned. Micrograms? Yeah. Milligrams, micrograms, whatever it is their their measurement because you you MG. One gummy was a 100 mg. And, Janet was, like, going, a lot of people, they they cut a little strong. They go ahead and they just cut it in half. I'm like, oh, okay.
I just popped the whole thing around. I was like, that's great. You know? You only live one stop of thing. And, you know, I sat there, and we I played on the phone for a little bit and all this. And about 15 minutes in, Janet was like, feeling anything? I was like, no. No. Not moving to feeling anything. And then I and I real realized I forgot that you actually have to say. I don't think these are working for them to kick in. You actually have to say those words themselves for it to get for the actual edible to kick in. And so about 30 minutes, I was like, I don't think this is really working.
3 minutes later, all of a sudden, I was like, oh, I'm not my I'm I'm I'm moving, and I'm feeling stuff differently. And so it was just kind of like, oh, okay. Never mind. Never mind. We're or we're it's starting to kick in now. Yes. Yes. That's there for for about oh, I don't know. Probably about another 30 minutes or so, and it really kicked in. I was just realized I was just sitting there kinda on the phone, just kinda getting tired and falling and kinda leaning forward and not doing anything on the phone. So I told Danny, like, I'm going to bed. And so I go to bed, and what a reason, I was in a cycle session on that during that.
So I was laying there there, and I was, like, starting to realize, oh, my mouth is a little dry. Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely dry. And I would obsess over my mouth being really dry for, I don't know, what seemed like maybe an hour. It's probably a lot less, but at at same time, for me, at that moment, I'm with my eyes full. I was trying to sleep, seemed like an hour. After that time, it transferred into a into something else, like, where I was just it's like, wow. My body is really freaking heavy. And then it was like, I wonder if Janice and I would just start thinking randomly about Janet for, another, you know, 30 minutes to an hour or whatever. And then then you, forget what the what the 4th thing was. But then all of a sudden, I have this last the 4th thing.
Oh, it was, I think I need to go to the bathroom is what it was. And so I was like, god. I think I need to go to the bathroom. And I'd be thinking about it thinking about it thinking about it, and then all of a sudden be like, wow. My mouth is really dry. Perfect. And I would like to go and I would start obsessing again all about the mouth, and it would go to the next thing and the next thing and the next thing. And it was these four things just over and over all night long. And I I assume I must have gotten slept because because I woke up, you know, feeling refreshed except for the fact that I also as I sat up, I was, like, going, oh, shit. I'm still stuck.
I'm still high as a kite here, people. Yeah. Well, see
[00:14:16] Rich Chelson:
see, that's the thing. I see see, I can't let myself get to that point because I don't have full control over my faculties. What's that? Did you get
[00:14:33] Bryan Goodwin:
the munchies? What's that?
[00:14:36] Duuude-Ron :
Did you get the munchies?
[00:14:38] Bryan Goodwin:
I was sleeping, so no. Now but but again, that was This is coming from an indica. That was an indicator strain in edible. And there's, sativa, which is supposed to be more of I think the they my wife says it's more of a head high. And it's supposed to be more of the type of of, of high that you actually you kinda get when you're actually smoking. If you were to just go out and, you know, you you go talk to Juan down on the corner and you grab you grab a, a little, a little quarter pounder of lawn clippings, and you can't head back to place when you're rolled up smoking.
Yeah. That's what we used to call it. You know, get a not a quarter pow it's not a quarter pound, but, you know, we'd call it a quarter pounder just because, you know, we would be sending texts over to them, and we didn't want the FBI to know that we were actually out talking about talking about, talking about marijuana. So we were talk talking about quarter pounders, a quarter pounders of of lawn clippings because, you know, it's grass. So Yeah.
[00:15:41] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I like Yeah. I like that. Words So like the words lawn clippings.
[00:15:45] Bryan Goodwin:
What does it get to tip-off? I I I need I mean, I I I exactly. Yeah. So I know I'm on a watch list somewhere, but that's okay. But, anyway, I'd tell you, you know and it was just but you have sativa, which is supposed to have more of a I guess it's supposed to give you more of the tingles, which is the thing I was kind of expecting. Whenever I whenever I used to actually smoke marijuana, I that's the thing I always liked about it. I got the tingle. And it was just kinda cool. You'd sit there and be all nice, tingly, and and it it it wasn't quite, like, your foot had gone to sleep type of tingles. It was just kind of a light, like, tingly sensation that you got from head to toe. And so you just kinda, like, yeah. Okay. Yeah. We're cool. We're cool. We're feeling weird. Boys worry me. Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. Yeah, man.
[00:16:36] Rich Chelson:
I mean, tingling? No. I I know. If if something's tingling on me, that's not that's not right. Something's not right there.
[00:16:44] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, I don't know, man. You ought to try it sometime.
[00:16:49] Rich Chelson:
I'm I I may I might I might I don't know. I'm it's it's it's been many years since I have been tingly.
[00:16:59] Duuude-Ron :
You know, and being 55 years old, I have never been tingly. I have never partaken in any illegal substance. I guess I just must be a boring
[00:17:13] Bryan Goodwin:
individual, but, for but the funny thing about it is Well, we just gotta get you to some place where it's actually illegal. Well, yeah. And that wouldn't be a problem.
[00:17:24] Duuude-Ron :
But 2 2 places do not like you fully, DOT and my current employer.
[00:17:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. That's weird. So if I came up with we gotta get you out of the truck, merchant.
[00:17:36] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, yeah. That's true. But, yeah, DOT doesn't like it in my company.
[00:17:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. 70 years old, and he's gonna finally get self we're gonna get him higher than a kite, but still it'll be fun.
[00:17:48] Rich Chelson:
Right. That would Brian, seriously, take, 2 weeks off. Go see Brian in Oklahoma. Do it one time. It'll be out your system. Do it one down. But
[00:17:59] Bryan Goodwin:
go back.
[00:18:00] Rich Chelson:
So, And Yeah. No. But Knowing my luck.
[00:18:05] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Knowing knowing my luck.
[00:18:09] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. We'll hang around. And you'd have that one last THC molecule hanging out, get caught on a piece of that going, hey. Look at that. Hey.
[00:18:20] Duuude-Ron :
Well well, you know, that's And the day and the day that I come back to work, I just get
[00:18:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You get thrown in for a, thrown in for random. So Exactly. Cranberry juice that I get back. Yeah. Run. Run. Cranberry juice. Drink lots of it by the gallons. My wife used to swear by cranberry juice, but also with, I work with the canning wet. Oh, oh. Not gulf wax, but
[00:18:48] Rich Chelson:
Baraffin?
[00:18:49] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Paraffin. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Paraffin. Like, she would say she would take paraffin and mix it up in in in the cranberry juice if a drink hit. Somehow, it was supposed to beep. And I was like, oh, I'm Paraffin? I don't think paraffin is going to transfer transforms itself through the, through the the intestinal lining so that it goes through and and blocks your kidneys from having THC faster. She's she would swear by it, or she also would take it, like, a week before she was actually supposed to take and get a drug test. So
[00:19:21] Rich Chelson:
Oh my no. No. No. They've they've got they've got stuff, and all you gotta do is ask the local local dispensary.
[00:19:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, I mean, the dispensary itself also has fetish urine. So you can go off, take it, and hold it next to your body, get it to your body temperature.
[00:19:39] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But, yeah, but the thing is, DOT, though, yeah, they they've learned all them little tricks, and Oh, yeah. It's very hard to pull it over on them. But yeah. No. I get it.
[00:19:52] Bryan Goodwin:
See, that'd be cool. But, no, there's drinks. But, I mean, when you're when you're just doing going to doing just a random. And kids kids, y'all if y'all are listening, this does not give you condone that you are supposed to cheat on your DOT random urinalysis. Okay?
[00:20:08] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. But
[00:20:10] Bryan Goodwin:
do not because you will get your ass bucked. And, no, we did not encourage you to do so, so try that. Alright? Alright. In the PSA.
[00:20:20] Rich Chelson:
We're gonna have to put in gonna hey. I can have it down. Right. Right. We're gonna have to put in a disclaimer.
[00:20:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Warning. Do not try any of this at home. These are not trained professionals. They are sure as hell moron. Yeah. Do not try this at home. But but, no, it's just you know, they there's a lot because, I mean, you go in for the random. I mean, most of the time, the people who are given the randoms are women. So they just say, you you know, you can't just fill the cup up to the to the level they check to make sure that you're you know, it's the the the urine is the right body temperature. Right. But you gotta make sure it's, you know, up against up against you good and and stuff. So and if it's, if it's cold, then they're gonna be a little a little suspicious.
But, but other than that, I'm I mean, they're not standing. It's not like in in, in the army where, army or or in the navy where you end up having a, an unfortunate first class who stood over you as you peed into the cup.
[00:21:33] Rich Chelson:
So Yeah. No. That The observer.
[00:21:37] Bryan Goodwin:
The observer. Yeah.
[00:21:42] Duuude-Ron :
The observer kinda like, the dude just lurking in the shadows.
[00:21:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Lurking around.
[00:21:50] Duuude-Ron :
Just lurking in the shadows of your mind.
[00:21:53] Rich Chelson:
Oh my god. I'm shocked you haven't run away screaming yet, Ron.
[00:21:58] Duuude-Ron :
Run away screaming? You you'd done lost me now.
[00:22:02] Rich Chelson:
Well, you said you you said you was lurking in the shadows of my mind.
[00:22:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Just back here lurking. Yeah. And in the shadows of your mind, Rich, you you're right. I should be screaming, you know, because I'm sure that that is a damn scary place.
[00:22:25] Rich Chelson:
It is. It is. Oh. I don't I don't I don't even wanna go there unless I absolutely have to.
[00:22:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. God. Tell me about it. So have you Yeah. Of the, of the big hero that over in, New York City?
[00:22:40] Rich Chelson:
The big hero.
[00:22:42] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. There is a guy that has just lit Twitter on fire, and it's just got them cheering up one side and down the other. What's he done? Well, he's a construction worker. And a b c I think it was ABC that, Donald Trump, had gone down to this construction site to just kinda shake some hand because he's there because he they've got they've got, like, 15 different, you know, lawsuits going on and, you know, try to get him nail any type of criminal activity on. And the man's Yeah. Man's the man makes mister clean look like pigpen. So you there's nothing you could pin on. But they're trying goddamn it. They're trying everything they can. Oh, yeah. They are. Right? And the ones that they're and the ones that they should be going after,
[00:23:29] Duuude-Ron :
they ain't going after.
[00:23:31] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, no. But, but anyhow, ABC News went and was talking to some of the construction workers at this at this, construction site that Trump had just spoke to, and they were they were kinda getting the, you know, the insider view and hoping that they were gonna find they kinda asked him. I was like, so what do you think of all the, of all these Republicans that are here in, that are here in Washington or, in New York right now? And one guy was like, well, it's about time they start showing back up. We've been needing them for a while. And he's like and, you know, everybody kinda, oh, hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Kinda got excited about that. And then at the end, they asked him, it's like, so do you have any messages for Joe Biden? He's like, yeah. I do. Joe Biden, you.
And everybody's just like, oh my god. He has said that there are people talking about how he has said the thing that everybody around has been wanting to say. Say what everyone's thinking. And it's just this and it's amazing that we are at this point.
[00:24:35] Rich Chelson:
It is. And I mean I mean, seriously, we're I mean, because our parents back in the day when we were growing up, we weren't allowed to say it, but our parents would stand up and say what the hell was on their mind. Yeah. Where did that go? And then now, now you've got one guy that stood up and said what he wanted to say on national TV
[00:24:57] Bryan Goodwin:
and whatever. And, and, you know, everyone's going ape nuts like, oh my God, you can't do that. Really? Why can't you? No, no, no. They're excited about it. They're everybody's not finding them. Oh, y'all have a But the ones that are that are wigging out and thinking, you know, thinking about how terrible he is are all the or the, you know, the usual suspects. It's the it's the the mainstream meet well, as as, Adam Curry calls them, they're they're the the Mi 5 Media. Yeah. You know, m m I five m. So they you know, they're just the mainstream media, but it's, you know, they're just they're there to ball play ball. And, I mean, we had that when was it, last week or maybe the week before?
One of the, PBS, or in, NPR. Same thing. They're elite elitist voices.
[00:25:49] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[00:25:51] Bryan Goodwin:
Put out a a, a a a post about we lost the faith of the US. How how NPR has lost the faith and and lost the, all faith about from the US listeners. And because NPR is now I mean, well, with any any of the media. I mean, you've got even even video games are yeah. Well, yeah. But even even the video games themselves are inundated with a lot of this type of crap.
[00:26:21] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. And and see, that's the thing. Everything is is a everyone's trying to be all inclusive and not offend this person, not offend that person. Guess what? Feelings are gonna get fucking hurt.
[00:26:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Well, and trying to be inclusive is not doing anybody any favor.
[00:26:40] Rich Chelson:
No. It's not. It it's not. In fact in fact, I freaking read an article today just before we jumped on here. See, over in Sweden or Norway, they did a study on kids from age 11 to age 26. You know, the kids that, that, you know, how they say they're they're, you know, when they're born boys, they wanna be girls and all like this and all like that. Well, come to find out, They're not saying it's just a phase, but they're saying as the kids grow up, they tend to revert back to their original Yeah. Gender. And it's like Yeah. Hello.
You know? And that's why that's why a lot of countries and I think it said 27 states over here have rules against, gender affirming care for for kids, which is great. Rightfully so. Oh, hell yeah. Because because and and and you see, this is a thing. I don't get okay. And and I've heard this for years. You're gonna get me wound up on this here in a second because Yeah. That's the purpose. These kids these kids these kids were getting, you know, being bored and all like that, and they're like, oh, they they're, they can make their own decisions.
Really? Motherfucker doesn't know how to pick his or what to do after he picks his nose. Does he eat it? Does he throw it away? What the hell? You know? I mean, I'm sorry. But but, no, it don't work. These kids do not have now now kids nowadays are smarter than, we were because we were still eating better.
[00:28:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Well, I'm not gonna say smarter. They just have more access to stuff. Well, okay. They're still just dumb they're still bunch of skull a skull full of mud. Right. No matter what. I mean, you you can give a monkey a a a cell phone. Doesn't make them any smarter. They're just they're they'll eventually figure out that they can get a response when they tap tap Right. Right. Okay. So they're no. They're still they're still morons. Love kids dearly. I've got I've got 3 kids and a and a and a and a grandkid. They're Right. You know, when they're when they're from from birth to 26, they're just sadly, they're just freaking idiot. That's all there is to it. And we gotta love them for the fact that they're dumb.
[00:29:05] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. And then and then try and teach them to help them
[00:29:11] Bryan Goodwin:
opt that head out before 26. But, you know, Yeah. Well, they don't know. I already know that. No, you can't tell me this Or or I've I've known that since I was 2. Yeah. Uh-huh. And How many of those how many of those mud pods did you eat before before you realized they tasted like dirt?
[00:29:32] Rich Chelson:
Right. But yeah. I know. You say and say that's the thing. It's like it's like kids, this is why we have parents because the kids need to be taught. Right. You know? And and, yes, kids need to have some freedom to learn on their own, but they also need to be educated by the parents, not just by the teachers, not just by the school administrators, which they're doing a sucky ass job at it because, you know, it's funny. It's funny. They will allow, LGBTQ people
[00:30:06] Bryan Goodwin:
in Yeah. The alphabet mafia. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:30:10] Rich Chelson:
And to read to the kids and and then, like, shows, like, movies right now you can watch or memes on Facebook. Facebook will block out the bad words. Oh, god. We can't do that, but yet go to the freaking library. Go to a school library and check out some of the book.
[00:30:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And I mean and and what's funny and, yeah, you wanna talk about, like, the book banning and stuff. And they're they they throw a fit about, you know, some of the books that they they block, and they'll go they'll throw a pin like, look. Like, well, Tom Sawyer's on on that list. Like, well, no shit, Tom Sawyer. You know who put that Tom Sawyer on there? It wasn't the conservative folk. I can guarantee you. The conservative folk are telling, you know, the boys wear pink and and and, you know, Sally's 2 daddies and and, you know, I can I can be a girl if I wanna type of stuff? And that that's the stuff the conservatives are throwing a fit about. They they the left's throwing a fit about, you know, oh, well, we can't have the bible in the in the in the school. We can't have you know, the Quran okay. We we're a lot we can have that. You know? The satanic bible, sure. Why not? But, you know Oh, yeah. God forbid if we did because they don't wanna have the, you know, because we are a Judeo Christian country and the people who actually don't want who wanted per perpetuate the the atrocity that is this whole wokeism's bad are actually just just communist.
They're they've they're trying to get enough people to be fighting amongst themselves in enough of a way so that they can actually end reenact the stuff the same crap that that actually Hitler tried. Right. Get everybody fighting at each other's throat, have as much debauchery as you possibly can so that the proper people stand up and go, somebody do something about something about this. And all of a sudden, here comes, you know, mister mister communist, I know what to do. Mhmm. I get, hey. We're gonna get this settled down. We're gonna get it all taken care of, and everything will be great. And so they then would go through and basically piss all the, all the the the the usual idiots off by going, oh, yeah. LGBTQIA young people, you're gone. Y'all y'all don't have any rights anymore. And they would do a hard shutdown.
Yeah. A lot like what what, what the Nazis did because that's not whether they like to hear it or not, Nazis are not right wing. Right. They were National Socialists. Well They took a lot of the extreme right wing stuff to actually calm the the the the debauchery down. Right. You know, you saw, like, the burlesque, the like, the show the, burlesque. Mhmm. That was all happening dear before before World War 2 happened.
[00:33:19] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:33:20] Bryan Goodwin:
So that was that was all, back when, you know, that's they were almost having the cats and dogs sleeping together together, mass hysteria type of stuff. They were they were at that point to where, when the the proper middle of the road German stood up and went like you. Right. You're the closest thing to anybody saying anything of any sanity. So come in and fix this that you claim you can.
[00:33:48] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Okay. Now now, no, no, no. I understand you're right. And I agree with you, but but to bring it up a few years, what about China and their one child policy?
[00:34:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. They've stopped that, haven't they? Yes. They have.
[00:34:05] Rich Chelson:
They're like, oh, wait a minute. Yeah. That didn't work too well. I mean, Hey, you know, I I mean, yeah. It wasn't just, you know I mean I mean, yeah. We, we had talked a lot about Germany and, you know, Nazis and everything. And, yeah, we, you know, we shouldn't not talk about it.
[00:34:24] Bryan Goodwin:
No. I don't think we honestly still be talking about how Russia used to be. Yeah. China China's a a very good good indicator. China, Venezuela.
[00:34:36] Rich Chelson:
Ah, Venezuela. Cuba. Iran, Cuba. Yeah. I mean I mean, look at all the but but you see, that's the thing. Most of these people nowadays, they don't look any further than the end of their nose.
[00:34:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, no. Because the teachers didn't aren't bothering to teach that topic history. Well, you see, that's the thing. Because they agree with that. But so then they would have to just go off and say Russia was a wonderful place. It was great. They had they had a very powerful army and all this. Okay. But did you look at what their cars were like? I mean
[00:35:07] Rich Chelson:
You're right. Right. But okay. Hold on now. Hold on now. You also have the school boards and the school superintendents that are people that are our age that are allowing this shit to be taught.
[00:35:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. And the reason a lot of that is
[00:35:25] Rich Chelson:
well, a lot of those people the teachers.
[00:35:27] Bryan Goodwin:
No. It's not just the teachers. The school board's allowing it. But that is the reason why all that's happening is because one of the when the, the iron curtain fell and we defeated communism, we thought, hold on. Okay. Let's have a party. We're gonna have a good time. We had the nineties, and that during that whole time in the nineties, communism shrunk back. It didn't disappear. It didn't die off. It just shrunk back and goes, okay. Where do we need to go? Alright. We've gotta go into the roots. We've gotta go we we didn't kill communism off. You never will. We just turned our backs on it and said, alright. Well, they they can't do anything now. And so we didn't pay attention to the school. We didn't pay attention to the teachers. We didn't pay attention to the colleges.
Oh, yeah. Which is where the communist, ideas have always been at. We never got rid of the of that. I mean, that was evident as the back in the sixties when we when you have the student riot. What what are we having these days again? Oh, what is that? Well, we've got we got students protesting again.
[00:36:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. For for, Iran and Hamas and Palestine. Yeah. Yeah. Palestine and,
[00:36:44] Duuude-Ron :
Israel. Yep. Yeah.
[00:36:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. And you know, and
[00:36:48] Duuude-Ron :
And the bad thing about it is and the bad thing about it is the whole everything is if you forget your history and your past, you are tend to repeat it. Yeah. Well, yeah. How how's that how's that phrase go?
[00:37:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. No. You failed. Learn from the learn from the past or do repeat it. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:37:12] Duuude-Ron :
And yeah. So we're back in the cycle. It's been, what, 40 years now?
[00:37:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that I mean yeah. Well, it well, let's see. 19 48 is when Israel was created or was recreated. It wasn't actually ever just created. It was always there. Right. Because the Israel, the Israelites were dispersed from Israel thanks to thanks to, the Roman. And that area by the Romans as Palestine. So the Palestinians are actually just the rip rap that was left behind followed what what the Romans said. Right. The funny thing is is about Palestinians, though, that nobody especially the news and the and the college students and all that. Why is Palestine stuck where they're at? And they are stuck.
Because nobody else wants them. How are they stuck? Because if when they try to go to go to Egypt, they pull the same bullshit that they are pulling in Israel. Oh. It's just Israel is nice enough to at least try to appease them for the past 60 60 years or so now. Not anymore. Well, no. No. They they're they had 2 years of peace. It was great, wonderful peace. They actually were relaxing, which was kind of the the downfall. They started to relax a bit going, alright. Well, looks like Palestinians are coming and they're getting wealthy. They're getting they're getting good, good stuff and and all that. They're learning, that, hey, We're not here to oppress them. The thing is, oh my god. Iran can't have that because Iran
[00:38:49] Rich Chelson:
runs Hamas and Hezbollah. And that's what happened. The shit we have right now. Yeah. And so the the thing is all these college students all these fucking college students are like, oh, free Palestine. It's him. No. Most most of the Palestinian are tied up with Hamas and, Hezbollah.
[00:39:09] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. I'll disagree with you on that one. Most Palestinians are just there. They're just there. Now is there a blood of Hamas folks there? Yeah. But most Palestinians want to be over in Israel. They love working in Israel because they actually get to make money. They get to have some freedom. Right. Okay. Over in over in Gaza, they're like going, okay. You and you ever go and watch videos of it, you can see where Gaza Gaza ends in Israel start. Because you go into the Israel side, and this is this beautiful, clean, nice area to walk around in. People are are are talking to each other, being friendly. And then you go across just a just one wall into a Gaza neighborhood, and it is dirty, trashed out, the epitome of poverty.
And it's not that it's not that the Israel Israelites are doing anything to the to the Palestinians. They're not depriving them of anything. Their government that they elected into off into power is the one going, yeah. We're we're taking all this. We you know, this is all for us, and y'all just do without.
[00:40:19] Duuude-Ron :
But but say that sometimes, you know, way. Kinda kinda sounds like our government is doing right now.
[00:40:25] Bryan Goodwin:
A bit. Yeah. You know, where
[00:40:28] Duuude-Ron :
I I was looking I can't remember where I saw it at and there was this congress lady and throughout her years in congress, going from a net worth when she first started 40 years ago to about $50,000 or no, $500,000 net worth when she started as congressperson and now her net worth is in the 100 of 1,000,000 of dollars. Yeah. You ain't you ain't making that kind of money from the government being in congress.
[00:41:09] Bryan Goodwin:
No. What is the faceplate? And and who you're thinking of? They're actually actually, what they're talking about was, it was old Fannie Willis from, who is the DA who is trying to, trying to to prosecute Trump for election interference. And, and so she is she gets paid something like 50,000, maybe even 500,000. I don't think 500,000, but they should. She gets paid a respectable amount.
[00:41:40] Rich Chelson:
Over
[00:41:41] Bryan Goodwin:
50,000 dollars, what, that hour or what? No. You know, let let's just let's just let's just say, okay,
[00:41:48] Duuude-Ron :
a congressperson's pay is a 125. I don't know exactly what it is. Let's just say it's a $125,000 a year plus whatever benefits you get at that position. And now you're telling me your net worth is in the 100 $800,000,000?
[00:42:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Where did you make the money from? Oh, we know. Her her, well, the Penny Willis one that I saw, they're saying she's she makes maybe a $150,000 a year.
[00:42:18] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:42:19] Bryan Goodwin:
And her net her net worth now is $8,000,000 in just the time that she has been elected as the DA.
[00:42:29] Duuude-Ron :
Right. And where does her net worth come from?
[00:42:32] Bryan Goodwin:
That's what We know where it's coming from special interest. It's coming from from Lobbyists. Yeah. Lobbyists and stuff like that. And lobbyists being think people like George Sohr.
[00:42:44] Rich Chelson:
And and George. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, creepy dude. Yeah. George Soros is out to destroy America.
[00:42:52] Bryan Goodwin:
He's out to destroy the world. He he wants to watch the he's one of those who want just wants to watch the world burn. He he would he would actually, forgot forget which, which, country it was, but he's gone through and messed with country just to have them collapse, Just to see if he could do it. Really? I'd have to look it up and remember exactly which
[00:43:16] Duuude-Ron :
And what is that proving? That that he's got that much power.
[00:43:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. His sense of humor.
[00:43:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That is exactly correct. But to be able to have yeah. His I don't know what his net worth is and it's in the 1,000,000,000 of dollars, 100 of 1,000,000,000 of dollar. But for somebody just to say, gee, because I have this money, let me see if I can't destroy the world. And where did he come up with a philosophy that he wants to do that?
[00:43:48] Bryan Goodwin:
What pro Well, he is a socialist. He he's a socialist, by ideology. Okay. So he's just It's funny that he's got all this money because of capitalism. But, yeah, he he is he very much against against the the freedoms that the US has been able to allot everybody that lives in the whole country.
[00:44:12] Duuude-Ron :
And if he had and if he had such a socialist value, why doesn't he dispense his money in the socialistic aspect where everybody is gets the same?
[00:44:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, because of that. You you forgot. He he he it's the answer then they in in what you just said. He's a social. You use everybody else's money to meet your ends. Now he does take a lot of his money, and he gives it over to you know, he's got a lot of Soros backed. A lot of the a lot of the very liberal DAs that are not prosecuting, you know, theft defenders and things like that. If you go and look and see who their donors are, the vast majority of them are Soros back. Right. And, they may And it may not be the backed by Soros. Yeah. It may the the the the company that that donated to him may not be the Soros back, but it was backed by a, SOREL's company, SOREL's, NGO.
So he's
[00:45:17] Rich Chelson:
Hey. I just I just I just looked this up, and, it says, George Soros, basically in 9 in 1992 dropped a pound, the British pound, and just basically kinda crushed it. It's they call it Black Wednesday. Yeah. And that was, but, yeah, he, yeah, bet against the pound and, yeah, dropped it by 15% and, say against the German mark and 25% against the dollar. And Soros made about a1000000000 in profit off that. So Yeah. And the question, why did George Soros bet against the British pound in 92? Because he believed that Britain's position in the was unsustainable and that it would eventually have to devalue devalue its currency or leave the system And says he used his quantum fund to sell 1,000,000,000 of pounds and buy other currencies, creating a huge demand for other currencies and a sizable supply of pounds. And it lowered lowered it and just, crushed them.
He was trying to crush Britain is what it was.
[00:46:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Right.
[00:46:35] Rich Chelson:
I mean, he didn't fully do it, but he came damn close.
[00:46:39] Bryan Goodwin:
He he flexed it enough. Oh, yeah.
[00:46:43] Rich Chelson:
You have to think?
[00:46:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. That's what he was out to do. It was just kinda shows like, hey. This is what I can do.
[00:46:50] Duuude-Ron :
And Yeah. No. He just tweaked it up in 1 way. And those individuals are the ones that should be, oh, I don't know,
[00:46:57] Bryan Goodwin:
prosecuted and sent to jail. Dank. But there's no law against what he did. That's true. He did everything that was perfectly legal. That is true. They're Just is it ethical or not? You know? Was he using his his wealth to, you know he was doing everything that, you know, that we talked about in as as capitalist. He was a he did stuff that allowed himself to become richer, not by robbing anybody.
[00:47:25] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[00:47:26] Bryan Goodwin:
He played the game like he was supposed to play it, which, you know, okay. That's a lot of people would stand up and go, well, that's the reason why capitalism's so bad. No. No. Capitalism isn't bad. It's just it. Right. It's like any other tool. You could take a hammer and use it for good. You can also take a hammer and bash somebody's head in with it. Yeah. What you Is it the hammer's fault? Nope. No. The hammer is just a hammer. A gun is just a gun. Investments in a in a in a, item is just an investment. What was the intention behind that?
[00:48:04] Rich Chelson:
Right. But but and say and say that's the thing. This is this exactly what they're trying to do is is send people to jail for the intent. It's like, but there's no law. There's no law saying that that that it's wrong.
[00:48:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Shouldn't there, though. Well, I mean, like, Scotland now has if you, if you say something against a,
[00:48:28] Duuude-Ron :
you know, here's here's the the overall the overall Uh-huh. Funniest thing about everything. And the one thing that will be the kicker of it is everybody yeah. All these individuals that have all this wealth.
[00:48:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Mhmm.
[00:48:48] Duuude-Ron :
And, okay, you turn all of that wealth into gold bricks. Okay? K. Just make into a gold brick. When you get to heaven, what is the word of that gold brick? Saint Peter's going, you know what? We got a pothole right over here that needs to get filled in. Thank you for bringing the paving stones for the road because it ain't worth anything.
[00:49:17] Rich Chelson:
Well, no. You're right. It's not. And see and see that's Greets are paid.
[00:49:22] Duuude-Ron :
Greets are paid with gold, and that's that's their worth. So you have these individual and me being a Christian, I know that what my belief is is that when I die, I will be going to heaven. Okay? I'm not going there as a rich individual with paving stones for the road, but the roads are made out of gold. And the only worth that they have is to be walked on. Right. So you you going back to the ethical laws, you know, that's the thing that a lot of these individuals have just completely obliviated is their ethics and the ethical aspects of being a human to another individual.
[00:50:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. A lot of people do. They and it's, well, and it's easier to advocate your personal power over to somebody else instead of actually going, hey. I am going to use my power to achieve whatever good I wanna achieve or bad, you know, whether you're good or bad. You do have the power to to go and forward whatever direction you wanna go. But a lot of people don't wanna go that direction because it's it's takes too much work. You have to get uncomfortable. You have to do stuff that you really don't care to do at that moment. You'd rather sit at home and and, you know, play video games than to to go off and and do, you know, do the hard work to learn what it takes to make, you know, no, your millions or or mill billions or whatever it is you wanna you're trying to make, whatever your end end means are.
So a lot of people, sadly, yeah, they've got free will to do what they want. But the problem is is that it's easier to not have to worry about flexing that heart that will. It's kinda like, oh, what was that, that movie that had, shit. Was it Brad Pitt or Wahlberg? I think it's Brad Pitt. And they were, it was kinda like, the TVA for, in in Loki, except it was before the whole Marvel thing. And I wanna say Emily Blunt was in it, but I don't think that's right. It's something the bureau.
[00:51:49] Rich Chelson:
Oh, Adjustment Bureau.
[00:51:51] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. That's it. It was Yeah.
[00:51:53] Rich Chelson:
That wasn't Brad Pitt, was it?
[00:51:56] Bryan Goodwin:
I keep saying either him or, like, the the, the I do think it was Mark Woburn. I I
[00:52:03] Rich Chelson:
no. No. No. No. No. What what dang it. Wasn't it no. I don't think it was him either.
[00:52:12] Bryan Goodwin:
I was thinking Yeah. But, yeah, it was the adjustment bureau. I know I remember that now. I could well, yeah.
[00:52:18] Rich Chelson:
Matt Damon. Yeah. Yeah. What's up? Matt Damon. Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna say I was gonna say I was gonna say, hold on. Hold on. Because, well, Brad Pitt, I wasn't
[00:52:30] Bryan Goodwin:
sold on. Mark Wahlberg, no, because of his character. I think it was him, but at the same time, it was but yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, yeah, I met. And there was somebody from from, Northeast. So but, yeah, one of kind of that whole thing about what they were about, how they were the the man and the woman who were they the judgment bureau kept saying, yeah. Y'all aren't supposed to be together, and they would keep trying to get back together.
[00:53:01] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:53:02] Bryan Goodwin:
I think, I really always took that as being a movie about true will. Your free will Yeah. Can if you're willing to fight and climb over every possible obstacle that whoever it is throws in your way to keep you from reaching whatever your goal is and you still get to it, that's proof that you actually know what free will is and you're willing to exercise it so the universe will allow you. Or in this case, it was the creator. The the over overseeing creator of of the world. While most people, they just kind of accept the fact. Something gets in their way. They're like, okay. Well, I guess it wasn't meant to be, and they kinda wander off. Right. And decide, no. Never mind. We'll just go with whatever Everybody else has decided. The adjustment bureau has decided. Yeah. And that's why a lot of people sadly do these days. They just kind of like, oh, well, I was gonna try it. I did try it. Sort of tried it, but it didn't work out. So that's okay. Dude, you didn't even get out of the door and you've decided that it wasn't worth it.
You'd you know, wait until you get 5 locks off of the pajamas. Exactly. You haven't even climbed out of your pajamas. You're still standing around in your underwear. Come on, man. Just, you know, try it out. You know, do something with yourself.
[00:54:23] Rich Chelson:
Hey. Long as I got a cup of coffee on my end, I don't care.
[00:54:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly. We we can walk, you know, you'll go down the street in the underwear while you got that coffee in your hand. Yeah. By god. Amen.
[00:54:37] Duuude-Ron :
Amen. Coffee and a cigarette.
[00:54:40] Bryan Goodwin:
Yes, sir. Say well, I'll I'll do the coffee. I don't do the cigarette no more. So Well, good job. I'm glad, dude. So yeah. And had one and, and had had one since, October of, 22. Yeah.
[00:54:53] Rich Chelson:
Really? Hell yeah.
[00:54:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Dude, that's awesome. I'm glad. 2nd time I quit. Hope I believe this time, it is permanently because I I learned my lesson last time. I thought, you know, after I quit, I'd I'd quit for almost oh, actually, it's been almost 12 years that I'd quit. And I was like, you know what? Who wonder? I bet y'all could have just one on the weekend or whatever. I had that one. I was like, oh, okay. Wow. That was really nice. I mean, that that good. I mean, yeah, it it was pretty tasty. Good. So the next night, I was like, yeah. I'll have another one because it's the weekend. I just had one last night. We're good. I'm I'm holding my limit. Right. Right. And a couple hours later, I was like, you know what? I'm gonna have another one. He goes, that's pretty good.
And then so from there, about about a month later, I was at back up to 2 pack. Wow. Hacking my freaking head off, and I was noticing that smoking was fucking with me hard.
[00:55:53] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:55:54] Bryan Goodwin:
And You know, and I quit I stuck with it for 2 years.
[00:55:58] Duuude-Ron :
Wow. That's cool, dude. You know what? And I quit about 45 minutes ago, and now I'm having another one. I was gonna say, and then and it like And about like me 40 minutes ago. After I get with this one, I'll quit for about 45 minutes, and I'll have another one. Yeah. And I've
[00:56:16] Bryan Goodwin:
realized that I am a board smoker. That was that's my big problem. And so I I I wouldn't be able to do your job there there, dude, because yeah. I'm I'm just just yeah. One right after another. Yep. One right after the other. Damn near. Like, 7 took it took maybe a month for me to get back up 2 pack a day, and that was just I was like and whenever I hit that, I was like, oh, son of a bitch. Alright. We can't be doing it. I can't be doing this no more. And I'd kinda try to quit, and I would we yeah. And then the weekend would come along. I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah. I'm gonna have cigarettes, and I'd start smoking again. Because, Jana went went back to smoking also, and so I was just like it was like, oh, okay. Okay. And I finally had to since just why I had to do is I had to center myself in a place and go, we're not doing this no more. Come, and it was, let's see, 3 months before October. So that'd been what? September,
[00:57:19] Duuude-Ron :
October, November. So September, or July.
[00:57:22] Bryan Goodwin:
July. So around July, I was just like, fuck it. I am not doing this no more. I would sit there and lay down, and I I actually have a good feeling or good thought that I probably have some type of, of, arrhythmia going on. Because there were several times where I could lay down and I could feel my heart going, one's good heartbeat. 2 3. 123. 123. I I was just like, okay. Am I doing this myself or am I actually, you know, or am I actually feeling this? And so I would you know, I ended up getting up several different, of the, of the the pulse apps for, for your phone. So you could, it would actually shine the light on your finger, and it you it would actually you could actually, it would actually watch the, the blood, flow through your fingertips and stuff. Yep. And just to so I could see, am I seeing the same thing that I was seeing?
And, some some of them would show and say kinda point out. It's like, yeah. Something's going on here. And then there's others that would just go, yeah, dude. You're you're it's it's in your head, man. Stop being an idiot. So so I didn't know, but at the same time, I was like, alright. We're gonna stop this. And I've still had little instances of that, but they were not as
[00:58:53] Rich Chelson:
strong as what they were whenever I was actually smoking. Okay. Hold on. Hold on a hold on a second. Hold on. Before we go much further, let's have another PSA. Okay? Kids, we are, don't rely on the apps on your phone.
[00:59:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Don't yeah. Don't rely on apps on your phone. The closest you can actually come is and it but it's not approved by the FDA is the well, there are actual apps that you can use. But, like, the, the Apple Watch, it's EKG's, system is it's not approved by the FDA, but it is just right there next to it. Well, you know,
[00:59:31] Rich Chelson:
the, yeah.
[00:59:32] Bryan Goodwin:
And then there is one that you actually there with that. It's got a it's got a little pad that you that you actually put a finger you put one finger on each pad, and it uses a very mild form of electricity to go through to actually see how your heart acts. And it acts and it's actually FDA approved. Well,
[00:59:52] Rich Chelson:
well, either way But it toe chest to the doctor
[00:59:56] Bryan Goodwin:
and get it checked. It would it would be better to take your ass to the doctor. But I So But the problem that I have with that is that Obama fucked the damn system up. I can't afford the doctor now. I can afford the doctor back when he said nobody can afford the doctor.
[01:00:10] Rich Chelson:
Say, he was a dumbass. Well, yeah, we well, we know this. That was I I mean I mean, you say you you say But before Obamacare,
[01:00:19] Bryan Goodwin:
we I was I had health care. Right. Now I you know, every year, I go on ahead and I go over on the over on to, health care dot gov just to kinda more as it's become more of a shits and giggle type thing because it's like, alright. Let's see what our numbers are to this this year. And I'll put all my information in, and it's like, oh, yeah. We've got some. And I'll look at comp, you know, or whatever their the lowest one is. It's not copper. Bronze. The bronze. Copper's at real, real low and then as the economy level. But anyhow, the the the bronze level and they're still telling me $2,000 a month Mhmm. For me and my wife.
You know why? I'm like, fuck you. That is insane. Who can afford 2 grand?
[01:01:08] Rich Chelson:
Well, apparently, the Democrats think we can.
[01:01:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Man, I'm I'm live there's a reason why I only have a $600 a month, house payment. Right. And then granted that's expensive to some people, but considering that my kids in Amarillo struggled to find an apartment that was under $800.
[01:01:35] Rich Chelson:
Oh my God.
[01:01:36] Bryan Goodwin:
I'll trade you all. Yeah. The room. Yeah. You're you're a grand or something like that a month. Thank you.
[01:01:42] Rich Chelson:
No. I'm 13.60. Yeah. One bedroom apartment.
[01:01:47] Bryan Goodwin:
One bedroom apartment. Yeah. It has gotten stupid and insane.
[01:01:53] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. And and the thing is, this is one of the cheap ones.
[01:01:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You can go cheaper, but by damn, you ain't gonna have anything inside of that house because it's getting kicked in, but by somebody every night.
[01:02:07] Rich Chelson:
Right. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, you can find $4 and $500 rent, but that's in neighborhoods where, yeah,
[01:02:17] Bryan Goodwin:
it it it's You don't wanna go and the walls are cinder block. And yeah. Yeah. You are gonna be a grain of salt in the sea of pepper.
[01:02:26] Rich Chelson:
That's that that's right.
[01:02:29] Bryan Goodwin:
And sorry to make that sound like it's, it's racist, but I've lived in whenever I was whenever I was younger. There was a time that I actually had to go and and and was in that neck of the woods where I had to try to find, you know, 3 for me, it was way too much to be spending for $300 a month
[01:02:51] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:02:52] Bryan Goodwin:
In Emerald. But that was and that was expensive, but that was as cheap. Because I I rent at the time, I think it was, like, 500 and something. And and Emerald whenever I went lived with my roommate. And I had to live on the bad part of town. And I'm it was called bad part of town. My daughter, she knows what the bad part of town's like. That is a grand north of, what they call an Emerald North side of of town. Right. Right. Got a lot of Somalis who are fresh off the boat.
[01:03:26] Rich Chelson:
Oh, wow.
[01:03:27] Bryan Goodwin:
And so there was many times she got she came, she would go to get into her car. And for whatever reason, there was some dude that she said she knew who it was, but she and stuff. But, not about to confront him. But for whatever reason, there was a dude who liked to walk around barefoot all over the top of her car.
[01:03:50] Rich Chelson:
Really?
[01:03:52] Bryan Goodwin:
And so she she Barefoot. Yeah. Walk barefooted. Because then she said there'd be more times than not. There'd be a big or 2 right in the middle of the hood of her car. Usually, being some more some more on, on the roof and then be some more going down the, over on the trunk. Like, that she we would walk up in the cross. He didn't ever go and step on the glass. Thank god.
[01:04:17] Rich Chelson:
Well, thank goodness.
[01:04:19] Bryan Goodwin:
But at the same time, I mean, she was, like, going, I yeah. Jaden went off and loaned and gave gave her one of his pistols, and it's like, you keep us on you at all time. Right. Right. She was trying to she was just trying to make ends meet, you know, with with, her dickhead boyfriend that, she had at the moment. And, thankfully, he she finally got smart enough and saw saw the, the right way and, like, kicked his ass to the curb and quickly found another guy, and then quickly after that, got pregnant. Thank god you at least because we tell her now. I was like, you better know exactly how lucky you are that you just happen to fall on a bed with a decent guy. Because everything we heard because every time when we first were learning about Max and he knows about this, all this that we were talking about. Because my daughter calls me damn near daily.
And we just talk. Just bullshit. She's just drama at work. Oh, okay. Yeah. I'll jump in there. I have fun with drama at work and all. But, she was when she, when she called me up to tell me that she was pregnant, she was scared to death. She was, like, going, dad's gonna kill me. And, thankfully, Jen why? Because she knew she when she wasn't in any position to be getting pregnant, right, Well, I understand. She just she just left an asshat of a boyfriend. Right. Right. And, like, within 2 months after meeting up with with new boyfriend, all of a sudden, she's going, I'm pregnant.
And we're, like, going, kid, hello. You know what I was telling you? Wait. Hold off on the rest of this. Hold off trying to get another boy for I was trying to tell her wait for 2 years. Right. And the reason why I told her wait for 2 years because I wanted her to realize she can stand on her own 2 damn feet. Exactly. Exactly. She can do it when she is when she she won't be near as afraid of losing the guy or pissing the guy off where he threatened to leave her. She can go pee. Door's out there, ass. Move. You know? Yeah. See you later. Perfect. And I wanted her to have that type of power, and she didn't. She she ended up falling, falling for this one guy. And at first, we got she was kinda we were like, great. So my wife called and was like, hey. Here in a moment, Alexis is gonna call you. She's gonna tell you that she's gonna let you know that she's pregnant.
Alright. What? Man, I I was getting I kinda was thinking the truth. I was like, oh god. I'm gonna have damn it. I'm, you know, I'm gonna have to rip into her. I'm gonna let her know the fury of all 9 hells and stuff. I was getting getting worked up, and then I was, like, going, no. There's no need to. She's beating her own self up right now.
[01:07:16] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:07:17] Bryan Goodwin:
There's no need for me to get all preachy, yell y, and stuff. Just one, I'm sure Janet's already done it. I I just got that little message from Janet on it, and I was just like, okay. I'm sure Janet has already bitched at her screen better and and stuff and made her feel, you know, Lauren of snake's belly and wagon wheel rut. And then it's like, okay.
[01:07:41] Rich Chelson:
Let me ask you a question. And and, I mean, this was for all of us because I'm I'm in on this too. But the damage is already done. So why are we getting upset? You know? Because
[01:07:54] Bryan Goodwin:
we because we wanted to we wanted to make sure she understood she fucked up knowing that pro full gun and well. Because she was scared she was scared to tell me. So that tells me. She was she knew she fucked up. She was afraid. She was already feeling bad. And that's one reason why I did when it came to when I actually got the call from her, I was calm. Right. And she said that scared the shit out of her.
[01:08:18] Rich Chelson:
It's just like, oh my god. He's gonna kill me.
[01:08:21] Bryan Goodwin:
It it because it's like well, you know, because the one I was doing like, so what are we gonna do? She's like, well, I'm gonna keep it. Alright. Well, at least your your answer to the first question right. At least keep it or give it up for adoption. I would have actually preferred adoption at the time because we didn't know anything about Mac. Right. But, you know, anything other than than abortion. Right. Right. However she wanted to go, that that's fine as long as it wasn't, I'm gonna go have an abortion. I would've been like, no. No. You did. Congratulations. You fucked up. You made an adult choice. You get to sleep in the bed. You don't get the easy out. Mhmm. But so I just we talked it through. It's like, well, what are your plans and all that? Just kinda let her know. It's like, well, I'm disappointed.
You already know I'm disappointed. I can tell you, you know, I'm disappointed, but just from the sound of your voice. But she's our grandbaby. We'll bring she's welcome. Yeah. Mom may throw a fit here and there, but she's gonna welcome it in. She just gotta adjust it to the thought of her now she has to look at the fact that, yeah, she's getting older. She's going to have she's doing now grandma. Alright? Because when my my my oldest daughter, she's I I actually have another another grand grandchild. And my oldest daughter that I really don't have much of a relationship with and and and stuff. And I have a grandson, but at the same time, I I don't have a a relationship with him because, one, I can't get past the shit that my daughter pulled. Okay. 2, I can't get past the shit that her grandmother talked her into porn.
[01:10:01] Rich Chelson:
Oh, wow.
[01:10:02] Bryan Goodwin:
And it it's easy was easy for my for my daughter to do that because when she was younger, she had what was what's called reactive attachment disorder. And so essentially, what that means is attachment, she never really had a good attachment to her mom.
[01:10:21] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:10:23] Bryan Goodwin:
The 1st year of her life, I was total asshole. I was like, okay. Congratulations. Yeah. You you got, you got pregnant. You have a good time. You know, chase me down in court if that's what you feel like you need to do. It's kind of the direction I took. Right. And it took about a year, and then all of a sudden, I had had police, the, the Potter County, sheriff come knocking on my door going, are you Brian Goodwin? Yep. Hand me a handful of papers saying you've been served and walked away. And I'm like, oh, shit. What the hell am I being served about? Oh, yeah. That thing. Yeah. That will but that problem that I thought I was able to just easily walk away from came sleeping right back all of a sudden. Oh, yeah. No. No. Big life lesson.
And so we eventually, so I during that time, Melissa, was in the was in the picture, and then she'd go out. Melissa is, my daughter's biological. Okay. And she was very she she has her own actual mental illnesses. She's definitely bipolar at best. And so she would come into the picture and she would go out. And I was go I I was I'd already gotten myself all set up to go under the navy. And so and, so I got to spend basically a year with her. Now by the time she turned 2, I decided, okay. Well, I've gotta go in the navy. I've gotta find a way of being able to to pay child support on this on this, kiddo that I've I've now got. Right. And, I can't do it and, live in Amarillo at the same time.
So the only way I can know that I can actually make it bring some money in and, you know, be able to afford, everything else. It I need to and get free housing at the same time is join the military. And like I said, I didn't wanna be a bullet sponge, so there's no use of me going into being a marine. I didn't really wanna go do army just because y'all run around way too much fucking too much on your feet. So not didn't wanna do that. Not that you when wars do come up, you all eventually get in the middle of battles, and I wanted to stay away from as much flying lead as I possibly could. No. I was like, let's do let's do Air Force. And Air Force was like going, yeah.
You see this kid you got? Yeah. We're not taking it because of the kid. Motherfucker. Alright. So I ended up wind wind up in the navy. I figured, hell, yeah. I'm I'm far enough. We don't have any we don't have any any guns that will, that will shoot out 12 miles out in the sea. So, you know, I'm at least pretty safe. They have to find a way of getting a boat out there, and we'll see them coming. So so that was my my reason to go into the Navy. It's a sub, dude. Then you wouldn't say it. Sub. Yeah. Well, no. But we'd probably hear it because I'm sure you could probably hear, knowing they're lucky they'd probably come up. They'd probably be floating up next to it. They're during cold prayer or something, so you'd hear you'd hear their music coming through the, through the sub walls.
Oh, damn it. That was racist, wasn't it? Oh, well. So, no. That wasn't racist. That was theist. It's what it was. I'm making fun of their the of their, other religion. Build a bridge. Get over it. Y'all make fun of their Catholics and and, and the Protestants. So Right. Deal with it. Yeah. Build a bridge and deal with it. So but anyhow so, that was that was my, my whole line of things. So I, yeah, I I I have 2 grandkids. 1 of them I, don't see very often, and, I have seen him a few times. Do know when his birthday is and things like that. I mean, I I know I know a bit about him, but I don't see him very much just because, I see grandma, I'm liable to go to prison, and I really don't care to go to prison. I I kinda like being free.
So I would rather sacrifice my relationship with my grandson than go to prison. Yeah. It it would at least the the the best it would end up being is just elder abuse is what it would be. Because I'm I'm as I like preach, minding, you know, controlling your emotions, you're responsible for your emotions, I would be responsible for the fact that I would just have to reach out in a very forceful way and readjust her neck. So, you know Sure. Right. Right. Right. I swear. Well, you know, I and You know what I mean? More joke than it is anything. Yeah. It's funny. Y'all trying to listen to this and go, hey. He's he's advocating violence. No. It's more I'm I'm talk. Alright? I'm all talk, just to let you know. I talk more shit than I than my ass does. Alright? So so just know that. I am
[01:15:24] Rich Chelson:
no. I but I don't You're gonna tell me this, dude. I already know this.
[01:15:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But the the listeners who may be on the opposite side of the aisle of me going, oh. Oh. Look at that. He's he's he's a he's a he's advocating violence. It's like Hey.
[01:15:40] Rich Chelson:
Hey, Brian. Yeah. I think I think I think we've done sent them off to their therapist, like, 3 times over already. Oh, I'm sure we have, but at the same time, they're still willing to hang around.
[01:15:51] Bryan Goodwin:
But, but anyhow, so the whole long story on this thing is just the fact that I knew that Alexis had beat her herself up over the over the, the, fact that she had essentially not not essentially. She had messed up and had gotten pregnant from a guy that we had, knew nothing about. Right. And so we started learning more about Max. And what we were learning, honestly, wasn't good. Uh-huh. My dad, he had gone to prison for theft. He had got armed robbery. Okay. And it's been so bits there. He was, he was, at, he was a recovering junkie. Okay. His dad had actually gotten him addicted to heroin.
Was the first one to give him heroin. Oh, wow. So he he came from a really, winter family.
[01:16:46] Rich Chelson:
You know. Right.
[01:16:48] Bryan Goodwin:
And so we had, you know, all this stuff, and I kept hearing more and more about Max. I was just going, oh god, man. But that's Jesus Christ. What did she who's who's she got my end with? And what she what we come to find out is and as we got to know Max and got to learn about him, it it was yeah. He was he had back when he was, back when he was younger, yeah, he was that. And he had while he spent time in prison, he realized this fucking sucked. Right. Wanna be here no more. Well, he's been fighting in his way out of that out of that hole ever since.
And he still has to fight the ramifications of it. So he still is trying he almost got into he got a new job. He's been looking for another job because he's gotten really kinda disillusioned with the company that he's working for right now. And he's like, alright. Well, I'm you know, let's go look at this place. And this place is like, yeah. Yeah. We like it. We're gonna have to do a background check on you, though. And he's like, well, just to let you know, you're gonna find, find some, some felonies in there because of this and this and that. Mhmm. But they also happened, you know, several several years ago, and I am not that person no more. Right. And it's like, well, yeah, I'm I I know that, but at the same time, the, HR for the for the comp the corporation that he's,
[01:18:13] Rich Chelson:
that he's with, they kinda have to make the final decision on that. And, sadly, he didn't get it because of the because of those stuff. Yeah. And see and now now now now now now now to now to see, this is something this something that, that a freaking apps meant, you know, upsets me quite a bit, especially when someone who is trying to be better and do better. And I mean, let's say let's say 10, 15 years have gone by. Yeah. Okay. They've done their time. They've paid the price. Why, why, why does all these businesses, make them still pay after 10, 15 years? I mean, these guys are not getting in trouble or girls.
Okay. I want to be all inclusive on that. But still, you know, they've they've come this far. They're doing everything they can to be straight honest, but yet something that happened 10, 15 years ago, they're, oh, no. We can't do this because we can't trust you. Excuse me?
[01:19:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Sorry. If they were doing stuff that wasn't trustworthy, they would have re offended down the road a lot sooner than than 15 years ago. Right. And I that's one of the big things. I think, I I understand. Okay. If you got busted for embezzlement, you probably need to be need to not be trusted around the bank. Right. Right. Alright. Probably a good thing to to not be trusted around the bank because, you you felt you used to come to some type of temptation somewhere around. Them. So I kinda get some places where we, a scarlet letter might need to be hung around.
[01:19:56] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Yeah. But if
[01:19:59] Bryan Goodwin:
but at the same time, the vast majority of people who have gone to prison for even felonious, possession. Alright? Maybe they got busted with, you know, £4 a pot or something. Right. Alright? If anything, I would be cheering for those folks because they're freaking entrepreneurs that just went down the wrong damn line. Right. Right. They just So just and just people who are willing to bust and hustle. Yeah. They're willing to hustle. And so why not let them bring them into a sales position?
[01:20:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh, well, yeah. Let them do it legally. Yeah. Let him learn how to sell legally. And see well, okay. Hang on. Hang on. Just just to, think here, though. Okay. Let's back up to the guy who or a person who who embezzled. Let's say it was, again, 15, 20 years ago, has not done it since.
[01:21:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[01:21:02] Rich Chelson:
Why wouldn't you trust that person? I mean, you know, I mean, because there's, there's no proof it's been done again.
[01:21:10] Bryan Goodwin:
You know? No. There's no proof. And I, and I agree with that, but I, and I would almost say, give them a chance again if they if they wanted to. Right. But be they have to also be okay with the fact that they have to build that trust up, and that trust is not well, you get to be manager in 4 months. Oh, no. No. You you're gonna start out being being
[01:21:34] Rich Chelson:
a a teller, and you're probably gonna get audited twice as much as the standard person. Well yeah. And that's okay with that. Yeah. And that's fine. But but And but see, the thing is so, and you see, but, but you see, the thing is nobody's gonna hire people like that. Like, like the guy, he he was saying that got busted with £4 of weed or whatnot. No one's gonna hire him because it's a felony. He's a felon. They don't care what it is. If it's a felony, you will not have any type of decent job ever again.
[01:22:10] Bryan Goodwin:
You might
[01:22:11] Rich Chelson:
you might luck out and find 1 or 2, but you're gonna have to do a lot of looking.
[01:22:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. No. And that's what Max is having to find out right now. Right. And he's he's doing what he can. He he's hopping, as, all the leads that he can find. And he gets frustrated. Well, I justifiably so. Because, I mean, there's times where, like the, like the sales position, he was just this freaking close. They he was gonna he was gonna become it, and then they had to pass it over to, to a regional manager or someone like that to go to look it over HR someone in HR, and they went, oh, well, that's that's felony. We we can't have that. Yeah. No. But at the same time, that's that's where I actually advocate for, for criminals to actually get into get into, into entrepreneurship.
Right. Because they, 1, the ones who actually start making a good business and start making a a good living, they can bring in the others who aren't entrepreneurial material.
[01:23:21] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[01:23:23] Bryan Goodwin:
And those who aren't entrepreneurial material make good employees. They may not think on their feet as fast as an entrepreneur does, but they do know how to follow rules. They do know how to follow, and they can go. And the and the the owner or the entrepreneur can go through and go, man, I know this is tough. And he can actually help coach these people through. He can come up with a, I I'm here. I'm hiring just Khan. We we are Khan Khan Incorporated. You know? Right. We we we do we make 8383 different items, and I pay you a a decent wage. And what what is a decent wage? What they agreed to being a decent wage. Right. How all businesses actually work, you know, because so many people run around go, go, well, I'm worth a $100,000.
No. You think you're worth a $100,000. The company you're wanting to work for thinks that because you have not worked any place before and that you are only 22 years old, you've gotta prove yourself first before you become a $100,000 material. So they think you're only worth maybe $40,000, and that's being very generous. That's very generous. And and and a lot of lot of gen, the gen z, they wake out. They're like, oh, they're taking advantage of me. No. You're having to do the fucking work first, man. Right. You gotta bust your ass. You gotta put in the time. Millennials figured this out. They were bitching, moaning, groaning, crying, pissing, cussing, everything they got possibly good. Because they wanted that $100,000 also.
Mhmm. And guess what? Gen z, us Gen zers, we betched about the lack of pay y'all just as much as everybody else did. When we first started, it's like, goddamn, man. We gotta work all the goddamn time. I'd like to be able to go fucking Canyon sometime. But no. I gotta fucking work because, you know, and we would we all bitch about the same stuff because we're all learning the same stuff. Right. And it's I mean, granted, yeah, it was gen xers. We love to go off and give jit z and and the millennials a hard time just because, well, first off, they're young, they're dumb, and they're idiots. But at the same time, it's just, that's, you know, right of passage. The seniors would always haze the freshmen. Right? Right. So, you know, we we gotta give the gens, gen z and now gen alpha. We gotta give them 8 ways of hell just so they know they're full of shit. We gotta take the piss out of them. They think they they know everything and they're fixing to find out.
They don't know squat. And Right. So that's that's part of the fun. That's part of of the of the line and the becoming. And now the millennials are starting to get in the get in there, and they're seeing Gen Alpha come in. They're going goddamn, man. We are whole 8 ways of scrutiny. All we can do is stand there and go, yeah. That's kinda what we thought about to you too. So that's alright. Right. Right.
[01:26:19] Rich Chelson:
So it's Yeah. It's funny. It's funny when you actually stop and sit there and look at it and think about it, and and you're just like remembering the freaking progression over time. And it's like, oh my god. This is crazy, you know?
[01:26:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah.
[01:26:37] Rich Chelson:
It's just yeah. Because, yeah. I don't know. I mean, anymore, just, what about what do you think about that, minimum wage hike that California shoved up the their, state's ass?
[01:26:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, well, I think,
[01:26:55] Rich Chelson:
that's $20.22 an hour for a fast food.
[01:26:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And everything like that? Yeah. I mean, it's gonna be great for the robotics industry.
[01:27:05] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:27:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Because that's what they're gonna do. They're gonna put in more kiosks, and Burger King's already working on a robo burger maker.
[01:27:13] Rich Chelson:
Oh, they've done well, they've done a lot of companies have have done shutdown because they can't afford the $20, 22 food prices, at fast food restaurants have tripled.
[01:27:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. No. We go to, we go to Wendy. 22 French fries and a large Coke. We're dropping, we're dropping the $10 bill plus some change.
[01:27:37] Rich Chelson:
Oh, well, that's like, that's like down here. I, I, I, went to taco bell. I got one crunch rep. Oh God. Yeah. Okay. And and a and a sweet tea. Right? $9.73. Yeah.
[01:27:53] Bryan Goodwin:
The only thing I got in this Come on. Taco Bell was the poor man food. You can go off and get a 6 pack for $5 and eat like a king for for a week.
[01:28:03] Rich Chelson:
Not now, man. It's such a good thing. Tacos is, like, 30 freaking dollars.
[01:28:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, they took all the good for yum yum food industries. I would I would I would love to go and meet the meet the the people who make the decisions there. Right. Because I would love to line them all up, put on a heavy metal gauntlet on my hand, and then just run out with my hand out and just smack every single one of them in the face with it. Right. Because burg, Taco Bell, they took away the double decker taco, which is my favorite freaking taco. They took away the, chili cheese burrito, which is one of my favorite freaking burritos. And they took away, what was another, the steak soft tacos. Got rid of that too. It's like, god dang, man. All the the only thing left for me to really eat is the crunchwrap supreme. Oh, the grilled stuffed burrito. They got rid of it too.
Yeah. Yeah. Top of the grill is the freaking the the grilled stuffed, stuffed, tostada thing, the flat the flat talk, flat burrito thingy.
[01:29:13] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[01:29:14] Bryan Goodwin:
So I most of the time now, I go whenever I go up there, I'm ordering a 6 pack of of soft talking. Mhmm. Which I'm still walking out of there dropping our damn near 20 freaking bugs. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, what about Waffle House?
[01:29:30] Rich Chelson:
You seen a Waffle House menu lately?
[01:29:33] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. I haven't been in a Waffle House in a while. They've got they've got mainly, breakfast bowls.
[01:29:40] Rich Chelson:
They they do have, eggs and bacon and ham and waffles, but you know how they used to have steak and eggs and all this other stuff? Yeah. You can get a ham the ham steak and eggs and bacon and No. Can't afford the ham anymore. It's gone. Oh, no. No. No. The ham's there. They've just changed the menu. Okay. And now it's a it's it's say, it's like a a sausage, bacon, and and egg and hash brown bowl, a sausage, bacon, and egg, and but they don't have the steak no more. They don't, if you get like the 2 eggs and the toast and the waffle, you can get sausage, bacon, or country ham, but that's that's the only one on there. And then on the back, they have the, you know, breakfast stuff, like the Texas melt and stuff. They don't have near the they don't have near the menu that they used to have because before,
[01:30:34] Bryan Goodwin:
their menu you know, it was about Yeah. It was a it was a a tri fold menu.
[01:30:40] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But but every every square inch of that of that menu was covered with with an item, a menu item.
[01:30:50] Duuude-Ron :
No. No. No. Really?
[01:30:52] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's it's long. It's flat. It's about like that. And I got 2 rows, Both sides. Flip it. 2 rows.
[01:30:59] Bryan Goodwin:
And then Yeah. Well, I haven't made it to talk to a waffle house in forever just because my wife and Janet doesn't like Taco Bell. I I keep one I'm stuck on Taco Bell. Yeah. Doesn't like Waffle House. And so I've it's like there's been a couple times where I've parked at places, and I'm like, do I really wanna walk that half mile down the road? You go to that Right. Waffle house down there? No. No. I don't feel like blocking that part. So but Yum Industries also, it also owns, Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut's dropped their their, their lunch, lunch buffet.
Oh, I know. It pisses me off. Off. Oh, I know. It pisses me off. I used to go there. I could eat all the pizza I wanted for well, it started out at 13 and then right before the COVID hit. And they it was up, like, $15 a person. But at the same time, it was like, yes. It was you can get yourself stuff stupid. $15. It was awesome.
[01:31:56] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[01:31:58] Bryan Goodwin:
And now it's like, no. No. No. We, we don't think we're ever bringing that back. It's like, well, why? That's what brought everybody in for lunch. You know? That's that was the main lunch deal was go in because maybe they you get lucky and you got the one one chef that liked, liked jalapenos and everything. And so you can get, like, 5 different
[01:32:18] Rich Chelson:
pizzas with with jalapenos. It, though. Think about it. Think about it. $15 buffet. You could eat a $15 buffet or buy a $25 pizza.
[01:32:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, but at the same time, their pizzas now are you can buy 2 for 10 doll 10 large single topic or actually well, depending on which week it is, kinda awesome. Like, you can do a $10 one topping sometimes, or you could do $10 3 toppings. And I think they actually bumped it up to, like, $12. But still, a large 12, 3 topping for for $12. I mean, you can actually get it get in and out without spending
[01:32:59] Rich Chelson:
$50 worth of food. Right. Right. The only thing is, though, is they use they use too much tomato sauce just like tomatoes, I think.
[01:33:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Domino well, Domino's pizza, I don't know what it is. Domino's I remember growing up. Domino's was a shit, man. Because we would order we'd order out and and and well, of course, at the same time, it was whenever I only got to have Domino's whenever I went to see my mom in Dallas because, well, Dumas doesn't have Domino's. They had they they had a a a Pizza Hut. They didn't deliver to sunroom. So, you know, we had to drive all the way to do this. So it was so to to, you know, keep wanting to say Papa John's, but, Domino's, it was you know, that was really cool. It was and it was good pizza.
And they were also the people who made the get there in 30 or it's free. Right. Right. And so, yeah, you'd end up having guys. You'd hear them. He comes screeching up to the to the curb. Sometimes the car is still be in the middle of the road, and he's just got trucking. But it was Oh. But it was good. You had some wonder you you the pizza itself was good. I found out what what actually, they have a weird kind of, kind of a crumbly thing on the edge of their crust all the time. Mhmm. And it took me forever to finally figure out what that is. That's just corn meal. They take their bread they take their their dough, and as they're the as they're making it, they they pop it in into cornmeal a couple times, and that's what actually browns the edge up as much as he does. But at the same time yeah. Something's off now about about Domino. Papa John used to be really rocking for a long while, but,
[01:34:49] Rich Chelson:
again, I can only get Papa John's when I was in Dallas. So Yeah. Yeah. Papa John's, I've only had a couple times. Yeah. Domino's. Yeah. Freaking Domino's has sucked for years. I like Godfathers.
[01:35:02] Bryan Goodwin:
Give me a There there's a couple of places that I could you could actually, at exit 101. You can get Godfather's Pizza over at the over at the Loves there. And, so it was like godfather's express or whatever. But, anyhow, I'd go in and get their their all made You know? Who's out of town on that yet? Got you. Got food running down. Yeah. He got grease dripping down in kid. Yeah. You look like a rabid jungle man.
[01:35:32] Rich Chelson:
All asleep in a coma.
[01:35:35] Duuude-Ron :
I haven't had godfathers in, dang, 20 years. Yeah. It's it's been Oh, so easily easily 20 years because they had one in Lincoln, Nebraska downtown off of P Street. I think it was 15th no. 12th and P or q. They had some godfathers had some good pizza.
[01:35:59] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Last last time I had godfather's was, I think, couple years ago.
[01:36:05] Duuude-Ron :
So You guys ever had Valentino's?
[01:36:09] Rich Chelson:
Valentino's? No? No. I've never had that. Nope. Okay.
[01:36:12] Duuude-Ron :
That started in Lincoln. Yeah. Valentino started in Lincoln.
[01:36:18] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:36:19] Duuude-Ron :
And it was I've probably more of a Nebraska thing. Same way with Runza. I don't know if you've ever heard of that, let alone ate 1.
[01:36:30] Rich Chelson:
Now I've I've never eaten 1, but, yes, I've heard of them. Because, I'm guessing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I used to live in Grand Island and run all up through Lincoln and Omaha and all like that. Okay. Yeah.
[01:36:46] Duuude-Ron :
Well, if you ever, ever, ever get that far north again, you gotta try our run zone.
[01:36:54] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Yeah. Whenever
[01:36:55] Duuude-Ron :
That's what I'm saying. When I get up there oh, yeah. Cheese runza, I'll eat 3 of them. Oh, wow.
[01:37:05] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. So you Some of the some of the interesting. You're talking about all these places. Okay. We all know what a Shoney is. Right? I think it's Shawnee. Shawnee's are Stuckey. I can't remember. Anyhow, either one of those. Y'all y'all heard it. Shawnee's are Stuckey. Right? Yeah. Okay. Hey. I can't remember which one it is now, but I've now that I open my mouth, I'm I'm getting I'm not a 100% sure. But on I forty, in between Ocmogie or not Ocmogie, Okema and Shawnee, There is a I wanna say it's a Shawnee, but I'm it might be a.
[01:37:40] Rich Chelson:
I'm one of That advertises
[01:37:42] Bryan Goodwin:
themselves as being halal. Now you know what a halal is? Being halal.
[01:37:48] Duuude-Ron :
No.
[01:37:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Uh-huh. Okay. It's it's muddling kosher is the best way to put it.
[01:37:54] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:37:55] Bryan Goodwin:
So, like, how kosher food blessed food for for, for, for the, for the Jewish folk. Yeah. You know, they have to have everything kosher. Yeah. Yep. Well, for for Muslims, it is being halal. So the food has to be prepared a particular way and all this for it to be okay for Muslims for the good Muslim to eat. And it's they they follow a lot of the same rules as what, as what the, the Israelites, followed because, well, they're they're both Abraham, Abraham, both products of Abraham. We all are. Oh, yeah. We all are. But, I mean, you have the Israelites were, were Isaac's tribe.
Right. The tribe that went off with I Isaac. Well, Ishmael became, became Israel. Or not Israel, but, became, Islam.
[01:38:55] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:38:56] Bryan Goodwin:
K. So so anyhow, they've got so they they have, but it they this, the Stuckey has got a they advertise Baskin Robbins there, but it's also they have a a big halal side, emblem on there. And it's like, how do you make ice cream be halal? How is that how is that a blessed how do they do that? Because, you know, you have to you when it comes to milk, in in a, in a kosher kitchen, you can't let milk be narrowed in the same area that the rest of the food is. If there's you know, you've got, like, multiple stoves that can only be used for certain types of items.
[01:39:38] Rich Chelson:
Well, okay. Okay. Is the goat from a cow, or is it from a goat? Or No. It's no. It's a cow. It's a cow.
[01:39:45] Bryan Goodwin:
It's Baskin Robbins, man. Well yeah. But but But again, but it How can And I mean how can the how do they guarantee that the the meat that they get for the for the hamburger is gonna be is halal. Because, if I'm thinking about it, you can't cook the meat with the cheese on it. Now I could be wrong. I I mean, I may we may end up somewhere down the road getting a getting a this one guy come on here and go, y'all are a bunch of fucking morons. Who said we couldn't have cheese on our hamburger meat? You know? So I don't know. But I'm just just what and I said it's it's a cow. Okay? So No. No. Islam doesn't. That's Hindu.
[01:40:27] Duuude-Ron :
That yeah. That's India
[01:40:29] Rich Chelson:
that worships cows. Okay. Yeah. I say I don't know the freaking difference.
[01:40:36] Bryan Goodwin:
But anyhow but now it, is one is is, they're whether they like it or not, they they're the cousin of Israel. Right. It's a it's a good over Oh, gotcha. Very oversimplified way of saying it. So, yeah, I know. I'm okay. The I'm sure I've got a on my head. So I I I'll go into Heidi. Someone wound up, dude. Yeah. I'm I they are. They're they got themselves twisted up. They're they're ready to go go bonkers, and so yeah. No. I'm here. You know? Fear, get over it. So you know? Right. But it's also could be the fact that it's after 10 o'clock. It's time for me to go to bed, but still but it it's just the and I forgot exact well, I was just talking about the fact that there's this, Amarin I wanna say it's a show me.
That is Halal. And it's like, but how does that become Halal? That is one, an American diner. And I okay. Granted. Yeah. Okay. So both of them bought the store. But again, how do just slapping the hello sign, you know, marker on on the billboard doesn't make the suddenly make the the hamburger meat be be blessed. Right. Right. But Or does it? Say I don't know. It's just one of those those those, like I saw that, and I was like, what the hell? How do you do that? Because I I because stop cum, like I said, is being is is kosher, and I've got a way basic thought on how on what's kosher, what's not kosher. And I'm sure I've gotten, my Jewish friends that I do have are probably going, oh my god, dude. What are you saying? Alright. You know? Hey, Faye. Yeah. Get get over here, man. I'm gonna slap you myself. You know? They're gonna No. No. Say, I remember I remember when we hold meat, when
[01:42:31] Rich Chelson:
when I was hollering meat back in the nineties. Okay. If a load was kosher, when it got loaded, a, rabbi had to be right there to watch it and then bless it and then, you know, do their thing. And you had a certain amount of time as soon as that trailer was loaded to get it to his destination. And if you miss that time, then you had to find another rabbi along the way and pay him money to rebless the load and not like this. And then and then take it on in. And believe me, companies got pissed if they had to get a load reblessed. Oh, man. Yeah. They was, yeah, they was on it.
But, I I mean, that's what I know, and that was back in the nineties. I don't know if it's changed, but we was hauling meat back then. So Yeah. Yeah. Most of the stuff, it it was just, yeah. It was, Yeah. Yeah. It was beef. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't mess with no pork or nothing.
[01:43:37] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. And and Islam and and and, and Jewish both are the same way. When it comes to, like, pork, nope. They ain't touching that stuff. You know, you the, the the cloven animals have to have, have to have room and stomach. You can't eat anything that doesn't have, any fish and doesn't have scales. And and,
[01:44:04] Rich Chelson:
So so, so, they've never had catfish. Yeah?
[01:44:09] Bryan Goodwin:
They've never had catfish or lobster. They can't have bought bottom feeders. Nope.
[01:44:14] Rich Chelson:
Is it not man. See? I don't have enough faith for the for
[01:44:20] Bryan Goodwin:
for those religion. But but do you understand why they had those rules in place? No. Well, one, they're bottom feeder. So? They're eating all the shit off off the ground. The same way as pig. They saw what they're eating. They knew that if they didn't cook, a pig good enough, That by damn something bad was gonna happen to you. You got that damn shit called trichinosis.
[01:44:44] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Right. Okay.
[01:44:46] Bryan Goodwin:
And so they knew that the son of a bitch. Well, but that one that one they you gotta remember that back then, it was alright. We we don't know exactly what's happening. They don't know that it's, you know, under due to the undertaker. They just know that pork, not a good thing. The animal wallers in mud, like, they hang around in its own shit. Not a clean animal. We're not gonna deal with anything with that. And we'll also look the fact that the okay. We got bottom feeders. They kinda do the same thing. They wall around in the in the mud down there. That's probably not the best stuff. So animals that don't have scales, we're no. We're not doing anything with it. So we can eat carp all you want. You know? But, you know, he he ain't carp. He can eat any other fish that he pull out of the sea as long as it's got scaled. If it doesn't have a scale, boom, back in the drain.
Oh my god. Again, if the cat if the animal if the animal has cloven hoods, it better have multiple stomach.
[01:45:45] Duuude-Ron :
Wow.
[01:45:46] Bryan Goodwin:
It's gotta have a rumen. That's one one of the reasons why they don't eat horse. Horse doesn't have a rumen. K. Uh-huh. Yeah. I also think that's why they don't I I don't know I I don't know if beer does or not. I don't I think they do.
[01:46:01] Duuude-Ron :
Hey. What's better than bacon?
[01:46:04] Bryan Goodwin:
So what's better than bacon? Well well, that's just that's just the devil tempting us in in to in the in the lawlessness.
[01:46:11] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. And, Rich, you said it correctly. What's better than bacon? More bacon. More bacon. More bacon. There's no other answer, man. There's no other actual answer. So
[01:46:26] Bryan Goodwin:
but alright. Well, guys, I hope y'all had a good time while, while we just be hammering around about all sorts of stupid bullshit. Yeah. Right. You're right. All sorts of stupid bullshit. I'm sure I've got myself on about 4 different lists than tonight, because I just can't seem to shut up. But that's alright. So, guys, wanna say thank you very much for listening. If y'all,
