In this episode, we delve into a wide range of topics including personal experiences, video games, and critiques of woke culture in the entertainment industry. From Marvel movies to discussions on capitalism, Disney, gender identity, and school controversies, our conversation covers it all. We explore the impact of woke ideology in schools, the significance of upholding the American flag, and the recent actions of fraternity members at UNC Chapel Hill.
Join us as we engage in a laid-back discussion touching on video games, storytelling, human attention spans, and the art of sharing podcast episodes on social media. Our casual banter leads us to explore the realms of social media platforms, automation tools like Zapier, and ways for our listeners to show their support for the podcast. We also emphasize the importance of connecting with veterans and fostering a sense of community support.

Bryan Goodwin:
Hey, man. Hello. And welcome to 2 grumpy Vets and a duuude. I'm your host, Brian. I'm here with Rich Chelson and the duuude. And we have got all sorts of good, wonderful things that we're gonna be talking about today, like the great and wonderful duuude, guys, I hope you're you're dressed because it is gender season this year, and it is going to be a great and wonderful time. So we're gonna have a good time. We're gonna be talking about, like I said, gender season. We're gonna be talking about, about the the Gen Z Iwo Jima (Hard R), and a bunch of other good stuff out there. So let's go ahead and let's take it off. Hey, duuude, this time, we're gonna kick it off with him since he thinks he doesn't get to talk enough. How's your week been?
[00:00:49] Unknown:
Oh, my week has been, oh, pretty busy. Got to tomorrow, when I go to work, I get to have a meeting with the safety department and everybody else because my truck while I was heading up to, north on or heading north on 35 got sideswiped.
[00:01:09] Duuude-Ron :
That's not good.
[00:01:11] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. No. No. It was a, one of those sealand van cargo containers, and the the tractor on his set up past me, he got into my lane and then clipped my mirror with the trailer. So that's been my fun, this week. So I get to have a, what do we call it? A hearing tomorrow from for the safety department. But That's okay. You
[00:01:40] Bryan Goodwin:
you get No. At least the license plate or anything on on the, on the on the guy?
[00:01:46] Unknown:
No. And the camera didn't pick up any video either.
[00:01:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, it didn't have any video?
[00:01:52] Unknown:
Not of not of the incident. The good thing about it the good thing about it was is it just pushed the mirror up forward, kinda like you hold back for your car when you're going through the, car wash. Right. And it didn't break the actual mirror. The functioning of the electrical is still good. It just knocked off the beauty piece for the front of the mirror, so now you see the cables. Oh, okay. So and you well, how many times do you get sideswiped? Do you just kinda scares the shit out of you?
[00:02:30] Bryan Goodwin:
I have slapped mirrors with, with trucks twice. So, so, yeah, scares the freaking bejesus out of you both times. So
[00:02:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It's, happened to me once, on a tight bridge. And, yeah, that
[00:02:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. One was on a tight bridge over out, south of of Midland. The other one was we were outside of oh, crap. It was outside of Canadian. Outside of Higgins, actually. We were north of Higgins, Texas. And, well, I was driving along, and this other truck, he was coming along, and we were both just a trucking well, trucking along, and all of a sudden, oh, my it scared the shit out of me. I thought the world's blowing up and all that. And I got myself, pulled over. By the time I got something myself pulled over and looked around, I couldn't see the other guy. And so I was like, oh, son of a bitch. Where did the other guy go? And, so I called up my boss and I was like, hey, Larry.
Somebody just hit my mirror and just fucked it all up. It's gone and and and all that. No. But he said, really? Where you at? And I told him to road, and he's like and nobody stopped? He's like, there's no one behind me. I'm I'm looking out looking out the the window now, and I'm not seeing anything. He's like,
[00:03:48] Unknown:
Nope. That guy I'll get back to you.
[00:03:51] Bryan Goodwin:
And got to talking and come to find out the other guy that I was was one of our drivers and we apparently were just we were driving along and where we finally when we finally got ourselves stopped because there's no shoulder where the incident happened. By the time we got ourselves stopped, we were both past the, past the hill, so we couldn't see each other. Oh. And so we were both like both thought it was, was water hauler that hit us. Come to find out, no, it was a couple of sand haulers. Damn damn sand haulers that they were.
[00:04:23] Unknown:
Yeah. So So that was that was the interesting going north.
[00:04:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. So what about going east? You know my love.
[00:04:32] Unknown:
Then coming south
[00:04:33] Bryan Goodwin:
on 35 Opposite direction.
[00:04:37] Unknown:
Just south of Waco, about a 100 feet in front of me. I'm traveling in the right lane because our vehicles are governed. Yep. And a van passes me in the center lane, and he's about a 100 feet in front of me and his passenger front tire, everything, the tie the whole 9 yards, comes off the vehicle. He's doing 70 miles an hour. Comes off the vehicle and just comes right across my path.
[00:05:14] Bryan Goodwin:
You've seen those videos of the pit of the trucks that'll go off and lose their front steer tires, haven't you?
[00:05:19] Unknown:
Yeah. The same thing. And I'm like, so I get off the gas, get on the brake because I know this guy is coming right in front of me trying to get over onto the shoulder of the road. But, yeah, just watch that tire just right in front of me. I'm like, man, I'm glad that wasn't about 10 seconds ago when he was trying to pass me when that tire came off because it woulda hit my truck.
[00:05:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
[00:05:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, you've So you've seen those ones where the pickups tires come off, or even just a car's tire comes off and it gets it gets caught underneath the the front of the, of the of a just a third, a third party car? Yeah. I saw that 1. Couple of where those cars get launched up in the air. Yep.
[00:06:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. See, I not now that that I've never seen. I did see, like Ron, I was I was going up north to Vegas and a truck passed me. And sure enough, I saw his right front tire, just I saw it flapping. I knew it's fixed to come off, and it came off. And it just I watched it go on, and he just driving down the road. I mean, he was slowing down, but he didn't move over for a little bit. He finally got stopped. Well, I was gonna say, how can you not feel when your tire
[00:06:43] Bryan Goodwin:
becomes wobbly like that?
[00:06:45] Unknown:
You know, I have no I have no idea. And if that tire would've hit me, I would've had 2 incidences in one day.
[00:06:57] Bryan Goodwin:
They probably would've fired you just because you've become a a an insurance liability. It's like, he's got objects magnet somewhere. We gotta we gotta hold it keep him in the yard for the next month and a half. So That's that's about right. I'd be like, dang. I'm just like
[00:07:13] Unknown:
a a magnet now. I was like, holy. And for both of those incidences that one going northbound, one going southbound on the same day. Are you serious? Absolutely.
[00:07:28] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I'da got back, told my boss, said, dude, I'm only going east and west for the next month. The first and for the next month.
[00:07:35] Bryan Goodwin:
No north south craziness.
[00:07:37] Duuude-Ron :

[00:08:15] Bryan Goodwin:
So the, the, the depression of the north is, has melted away.
[00:08:21] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You could yeah. Yeah. You could honestly say that because yeah. Because I mean, down here, it's like, I, yeah. I've I've looked at maybe having a beer thinking about it, and I'm like, you know what? Why? Why? You know, it's just like, I mean, I'm just, I don't know. This week here, you know, I haven't done too much. Got to play ham radio for a little bit last night. Who'd you talk to?
[00:08:46] Bryan Goodwin:
If you Give us a ham sandwich update.
[00:08:49] Duuude-Ron :
Well, today, it was kinda crazy because, when I looked at the numbers, when I left, they were really good. When I got to talking on the radio, well, we had a solar flare.
[00:09:05] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. So when you say you check the numbers, how do you, I mean, what are you doing? You holding a holding a thermometer out in the air or or, I I I don't understand when you say when you say check the numbers, I know what that, from talk to you. I know that we're we're you're referring to the amount of elect I guess it's electrostat is electrostatic in the air because of the therm, the therm the the solar winds?
[00:09:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, yes. It's solar. It's strictly solar. Right. You know, winds and and electricity and stuff like that. But when I checked the numbers, there's a site that I, look at. They the sun is being measured all the time. It has a, k number. And if it's, you know, if it's like a k one, everything's fine. You can tug all over the world. Right. And, this morning, it was a k one. Well, when I left, when I got out to, play in radio, it was up to a k three. And it was saying it was saying that that the surface of the sun was, unsettled.
K.
[00:10:12] Bryan Goodwin:
And So we got to watch some some really gross out, YouTube videos. It became very unsettled. Okay. Yeah. That that was Okay. Okay. So, okay, so you say it was you started out as a one, it came up to a 3. Is that on a scale of 1 to 5 or a 1 to 10 or 1 to 9. Of course. Because you keep to 10. I mean, why would that would you gotta have an odd number. I I can almost understand why you'd have an odd number because it's easy.
[00:10:41] Duuude-Ron :
But the thing is either way, when I was, you know, making these contacts, I talked to, Oregon, Kansas, or not Kansas, Colorado, Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia. I mean, it was just it was just here in the US today Okay. Like it was yesterday. But while I was operating, though, I could hear the, the hand bands going to shit. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Talk like like, talking to someone like me and you. Uh-huh. Yeah. Right now, it's clear and normal. But when I was, you know, talking with someone on the radio, they would just drop out. Their their signal would just drop out.
Something like Ron's phone. Right.
[00:11:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Ron's phone. Well, when he gets going around 10 o'clock, you're in Ron's phone. Just go say, okay. We're done. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
[00:11:44] Unknown:
Just like Ron, 10 o'clock is bedtime. 10 o'clock is bedtime, damn it. The phone is got me up. The yeah. Exactly. That's probably what it is. The phone is saying, dude, you should not be up. We're gonna quit. You need to go to bed. Right.
[00:12:01] Duuude-Ron :
But but now you see the, that's the thing. When I got done, I made, like, 15 contacts.
[00:12:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. And, And okay. Now this is just so one for me, 2 for 2 for Ron, but 3, just for all all the listeners that we have who don't have a clue as to what ham radio is. I barely I I know it is a it is, it is what will save the world when the fit hits the shame. Yeah. It will. But but at the same time, when you say you make contacts with people, are you just going tag your it type of stuff, or is it you actually having a conversation with these people? No. Most,
[00:12:40] Duuude-Ron :
sometimes sometimes it's a very short exchange. We exchange call signs, signal reports if I'm in a park, the park number or whatnot. And then other times I've had guys wanna sit and talk for a little bit and they asked me, you know, how the weather's at where, where I'm at. What's what life is like down, you know, where I'm at. Cause you know, I'm down here in Mississippi and they could be, well, if they're over across the pond, like in England or Spain or Portugal. Yeah. They've never been over here and, you know, that is interesting to them. But even here Right.
Talking to, guys here like up in Indiana, They don't know what life is like down here on the Gulf coast. So, you know, and sometimes we have long conversations.
[00:13:31] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. And so and, and I also know that you take your you take your reports and you kinda you you you up update them because you actually you're you're kinda scored on them or something like that, aren't you? Well,
[00:13:44] Duuude-Ron :
in contests, yeah, they're scored. But Okay. I've got a log that I keep and it won. I mean, I don't have to keep a log, but I like to keep a load because I've worked so many people multiple times. And, you know, as you work a multiple times, you start to get to know them a little bit. And that's that's how we make friendships a lot of times. And believe it or not, it's not just old, old farts like me and older. There's, there's a lot of young kids, females that are, that are actually, into ham radio too. So it's not just for
[00:14:23] Bryan Goodwin:
it's it's not just It's not just for a bunch of crusty old old fart to,
[00:14:29] Duuude-Ron :
Mm-mm. No, kids. In fact, there is no age limit. As long as as long as you can understand the English language, understand the concept and understand ham radio, you can take the test. And if you pass it, you're a licensed ham. The youngest licensed ham is, I believe has been 8 years old, maybe 7. So, yeah, that's,
[00:14:56] Bryan Goodwin:
yeah, there's, there's more Well, you would go off and get the take the, take the test and stuff. So just What's that? Like, if you're wanting to take it, take the test, you want to become all hamified and stuff. Right.
[00:15:09] Duuude-Ron :
Find a, look up a, a local amateur radio club and most of them do tests. And, you know, you just say, hey, I wanna take, you know, a technician test. And the test is like $14 You know, it covers the the cost of being in the test and stuff. And, I mean, I mean, the thing is, hams don't make money from from any of this. This is No. No. It's all it's all a it's all a very,
[00:15:38] Bryan Goodwin:
financially, financially, dependent hobby. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You yeah. G sounds like g sounds like jeeps. Exactly. Yeah. But Ron,
[00:15:50] Duuude-Ron :
but Ron, I will tell you ham radios are actually a little bit cheaper than Jeeps. Not by much, but a little bit cheaper. 74 and one half cent
[00:16:00] Bryan Goodwin:
difference is all it is.
[00:16:02] Unknown:
But now And now that I, and now I used to have 2 jeeps. Now I have 1. Now, Rich has the expensive hobby because not only does he have a jeep, he has a ham radio set up. Yep. And sometimes he hams with his jeep.
[00:16:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Like I did today. You get superpowers united then.
[00:16:22] Unknown:
Yeah. And it could be and it becomes a pimento sandwich.
[00:16:35] Bryan Goodwin:
See that one coming. Don't call. That was bad. That was so bad.
[00:16:39] Duuude-Ron :
Did not see that would go with dude. That was, that would rock. I mean, that would, yeah, that one. Yeah. Yeah. It didn't sit down. So Brian,
[00:16:51] Bryan Goodwin:

I am, actually I'm sitting outside of Lubbock, Texas to this time because I've got a load of shingles that I'm taking into town.

So she's she's just getting figuring out how to how to put one foot in front of the other and and and learning to dance. So Oh, okay. That one. Yeah. That's Yeah. The little the little butt bounce thing. So That's always fun to what? Oh, heck yeah. Yeah. Just gotta get her to to start dancing to to good music as opposed to the music that her that her mom listens to. So
[00:17:59] Duuude-Ron :
What's the music her mom listens to? Oh,
[00:18:02] Bryan Goodwin:

But she is starting to she's starting to turn though because she was she was bitching bitching about Gina Alpha's music. She's like going, god, you can't listen to any of this music. It's horrible.

He's like, I was the good stuff. It's like very little of it. It's like, I was the Taylor Swift. It's like, no, that's not music either.

[00:19:34] Bryan Goodwin:
He said he had it, and he thought he thought it went real well. I don't know if this is something we need to be talking on the,
[00:19:40] Duuude-Ron :
on the show, though. I was just saying I I was just saying that that, you know
[00:19:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, no one knows his last name. So, yeah, Garrett. Alright.
[00:19:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. I mean, no. We I'm I mean, we didn't talk about nothing. You know? You know, he was just saying that he had had his interview and that he felt it went well. So I was like, cool, man. Uh-huh. Good. Good. Good. Good. Yeah.
[00:20:03] Bryan Goodwin:
So good to hear.
[00:20:05] Duuude-Ron :
But, yeah, other than that, Yeah. I've been, yeah, I've been doing too much. Got rained on on Monday.
[00:20:14] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. We had some wind and rain.
[00:20:16] Unknown:
Yeah. We got rained on Monday, Tuesday, today, and supposed to have it tomorrow.
[00:20:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Yes. Nice. But y'all's, y'all's tailwater pits are gonna get start to get full then.
[00:20:30] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. I mean, we've had, like, the rain inches in hours type rain.
[00:20:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, wow. Okay.
[00:20:39] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. We shouldn't have a drought this year.
[00:20:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, I wonder if it's raining around, Canyon Lake then.
[00:20:46] Unknown:
I you know what? I don't know. But the storm I'm looking at that. Where's Canyon where's Canyon Lake at?
[00:20:53] Bryan Goodwin:
It is outside of New Bronzeville.
[00:20:56] Duuude-Ron :
I think a big ass storm just come down through that way.
[00:20:59] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, because I know that they have been low and back in what was it? 2022? 222 21 or 22. I think it was 22. We went down there to just go go tubing on the Guadalupe, which is it gets its water from Canyon Lake. And you could tube on it, and there's a shit way too much way too many fucking people tubing on the damn thing. But because well, and I I I remember tubing, on the Guadalupe, going to a place called Whitewater Sports and, they're in New Bronzeville. Or not New Bronzeville, but, well, essentially, it's the New Bronzeville area. And, there was still a lot of people, but there was not a lot of where you it took you 2 hours to actually get into the river.
Top of lot of people. Wow. Where they actually the entrance area used to just be one side of the, you you would actually hop out. You would walk along the walk walk along the road to the other side of the Horseshoe, and you would walk down. You may have, like, 2 or 3 people ahead of you who were throwing their tubes out, jet getting in the water and and stuff like that. And at the same time, the water then was deep enough that, you know, you couldn't just step in because you're not quite sure if you would go just neck deeper underneath the water. So you you kinda had to get yourself planned and take your take inner tube and flying it firmly in your butt, then rock kinda rock back is how we always entered.
[00:22:43] Unknown:
Right. But
[00:22:44] Bryan Goodwin:
but and there was a lot what we I what I would call a lot of people, and we would go and we'd tubal tubal out around the, the horseshoe and had a great old time. Weekends, you you, you know, you may have you'd have a lot more people, and, Thursday night and Friday would be a lot less people. We'd usually go in tube for about 3 days and become thoroughly sunburned, which was righteous. And it was but we had a you know, there was a lot of people, but you could still float around without bumping off of everybody. And now, look, in 2022, now granted, it could have been post COVID or or post COOF. Sorry. I don't know. It probably will get demonetized on, on on YouTube.
If we ever decide to get you monetized on YouTube, which I really don't care.
[00:23:37] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. I don't either. But but why would we get,
[00:23:40] Bryan Goodwin:
say a say a demonetized? Because that's one of those dangerous words.
[00:23:44] Duuude-Ron :
What? COVID?
[00:23:45] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Yeah. Yeah. COVID. Now we can say the coof. So yeah. You can't say you can't say COVID because you might be talking about, you know, like, ivermectin and how how that actually would keep people from getting, you know, that that that whole that whole little, little thing. Probably shouldn't be talking about, you know, the fact that, AstraZeneca actually went off and spilled the beans on how their, how their stuff actually wasn't, nearly as effective as they claimed.
[00:24:17] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. But That was in the news.
[00:24:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. That was in the news. But still so it was COVID, but you weren't allowed to talk about COVID during, during the flu season.
[00:24:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, you you know, well and that's like, okay. Let me ask you this, because that sheet you sent, I've I've been looking a couple of these. Like, Do you know I did not know this. Okay? The hard r,
[00:24:46] Bryan Goodwin:
dude. Yeah. I don't know what the fuck that is. I do now. I it it it I've not been looking up, but it's like hard r. It's like, what the hell is a hard r? Okay. Why is that? The, n word
[00:25:01] Duuude-Ron :
with Okay. The n word with a hard r at the end.
[00:25:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. But That's it. That that people having to stretch much more than than stretch Armstrong.
[00:25:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:25:18] Bryan Goodwin:
To get. Because no. You can you can kinda understand, you know, if someone was saying, you know, that that's a chigger. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I would almost throw I would almost understand them wanting to change the change the name of chigger to something completely different because that's too close to to a to an offensive word. Well, actually,
[00:25:41] Duuude-Ron :
Chigger, isn't it wasn't Chigurh used for a while as as for a Mexican or something years ago? I don't know.
[00:25:49] Bryan Goodwin:
I, That's the, that's the, the the s p, and it rhymes with Nick.
[00:26:01] Duuude-Ron :
Oh. Well, anyway. So Yeah. Anyhow. Anyhow. But but still either way, basically basically what it is is they are flipping out over a fucking letter
[00:26:11] Bryan Goodwin:
because it's That was the the r shop, and they had the word hard graffitied on on on a on a wall and they
[00:26:20] Duuude-Ron :
Yes. Stellar Blade is a game. So so so if you play Yep. Oh, well, and Stellar it's it's funny about Stellar Blade anyhow because
[00:26:28] Bryan Goodwin:
the the, woah, gamer industry, he hates representation of the actual model. The model who is the the person who they've the or the person that they modeled, Eve, which is the name of the character that you play as in in Stellar Blade, is a is a beautiful Korean woman. And they, one to 1, maybe accentuated her butts and her boobs a little bit. But at the same time, not as much as people would like to think. Right. And, but the fact that they actually kept her beautiful.
[00:27:22] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[00:27:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Star Wars has a new game that's coming out. And, it is I think it's supposed to be an MMO or a games as, games as a service. Okay. Kinda like, kinda like Destiny and and, those types of games. Yeah. And but the the main character if you played 1 first person player, the main character is a woman and the actual person they name They they, modeled her after is a beautiful woman. Mhmm. But now, it's she they changed her features so much that she is so androgynous. She's got this jaw that would make make Jay Leno jealous. And, I mean, just turned her into this freaking mongoloid looking looking looking being that she doesn't look anything like herself.
[00:28:18] Duuude-Ron :
Well, okay. Okay. Hang on. Hang on. This is what is, I don't get what all this about this hard or about this shit with stellar blade, about all this Walt culture, you know, basically hating on on on these people that are building these games. And Because they want basically wants them to change. And Yep. And it's like it's like, no. Because is is this woke culture paying for this? No. They're not. No. They're not. And it's it's like So so then why are people why are people then caving to that?
[00:28:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Because they have been told by the investors that you have to incorporate this crap. They are have Because they have decided to sink themselves into the discrimination, indoctrination, and, exclusion ideology, the DEI ideology of being this is this is why, Bud Light shot itself in the freaking face with with Dylan Mulvaney.
[00:29:29] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right. But okay. Hold on here. And this this is this is what say, so so basically what you're saying, anybody who has investors is basically working a job.
[00:29:43] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, anytime you have investors, you've got to satisfy the people who invest.
[00:29:50] Duuude-Ron :
You gotta look at their interests before you look at your own. No. No. You say that you say that's why that's why I don't I don't I don't mess with nothing like that because I'm sorry. Like like, you know, if I was make you know, if if I was to make a video game, then, 1, why would I need an investor?
[00:30:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Because video games, like, triple a video games, actually cost in the general vicinity of 500 to a $100,000,000 to develop and create.
[00:30:30] Duuude-Ron :
Why is that?
[00:30:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Because it takes that much time. It takes that much manpower to to build 1 Have you ever looked at, watched the, the end credits of of, any of the current video games?
[00:30:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Actually, I have. Yeah. There's Okay. Yeah. And they take
[00:30:48] Bryan Goodwin:
they take 30, 45 minutes for all the credits to roll. Right. And so and that's the and that's why it takes that long. And these games are still they're gonna be in in development for 5 to 10 years. Right. Like, cyberpunk. They actually they rushed it. It was still and they they can't still well, made everybody mad about cyberpunk was be that it had been in development for something like 13, 14 years, and it came out as a half developed pile of crap at first. Right. It was buggy. You couldn't play for more than 10 minutes without it crashing. And, I mean, it took them another an additional 3, 4 years for it to come out and be the gorgeous, amazing, hick ass game that it is now.
Bless you. Thank you. So but but these games, a lot of them and there's a big stink going on about a company called, Sweet Baby Games or Sweet Baby Incorporated. K. And the all their job is is they are a a, a consulting firm. That's all they do. They're a consulting firm that goes in, looks at the story and tells people who they, what, who and what they need to change. The thing is, is that the main person in Sweet Baby Inc, demands that there be color corrections, is what I'm gonna call it, to the game. So that that that's the reason in, God of War Ragnarok.
Take a place. You've got a you've got Spartan, a Spartan guy named named Kratos who is from Greece, so he's a white dude, hanging out up in Norse Mythology land, which they're all a bunch of blonde haired, blue eyed, white dudes. Right. And in there, out of nowhere, one of the little assisting characters and it I mean, it fit in and they're okay. It didn't really I mean, you saw I saw exactly what it was when I first saw it, that it was essentially the token black person. Yes. And there is a little black there's a little well, she's she's a Jotunheim.
She's a Jotun, which in Greek mythology is they're the giants. And giants are just, a race. Now some of them are giants. They're Right. Huge monstrous people, but then there's some that are normal size. Right. But but say And this girl, she she was she's got is what I would call normal size. She was the same height of, of Kratos' son, Atreus. And it's just I mean, you see her and she's she comes in and, at a at a very crucial time to help him through a difficult part of his storyline.
[00:33:38] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Well But she was the cool. But this is you see, though, that's the thing, Brian. This is what I'm talking about. Why do we have to, sidestep everything like this. When, when the actual real world is not going to give a fuck, they are not going to give 2 shits about, about what someone thinks. They don't care if you're LGBTQIA L M N O P. I'd give them a damn, you know, why, whatever. They, life does not care. So we know why, why are we catering? Why why are we allowing this
[00:34:18] Bryan Goodwin:
bullshit to go on? Well, that's just it. In all reality, we're not. The the the the people who vote with their dollar bills are not. Yeah. The top one percent. Justice League, not Justice League.
[00:34:34] Unknown:
Yeah. The top one percenters.
[00:34:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Not it No. No. Not even top one percenters. The top The bottom one percent that likes this that likes this crap. They're they're they're about it, but not even the top 1%. I mean, we're talking about the majority of gamers right now. They had, suicide squad, kill the justice league came out. It was supposed to be a game as a service. I think the last I heard, there was something like a 1000 people playing right now on on Steam servers. Nobody's playing the game. It sucks balls. And it was heavily influenced by Sweet Baby Inc. It was it had a whole lot of of, you know, of the guys being there, always being rescued by the girls, always being, you know, just being a gay feminism, white men are bad, and and and all that. And it the they wanted to pound home the message.
And they pounded that message home time and time again to where people are going, dude, give us a story. That's all we want. We want a story. Give us some good story, maybe a little a little boob jiggle here and there, and we're happy. Cyberpunk 2077. 20 Cyberpunk 20 seven seven's got some really good, but it got some jiggle physics in there that are pretty good. Not as good as, dead or alive, you know, during their their that that game, I mean, they had amazing jiggle physics, but that was also several years ago back when before, for gamer gate.
And they they're calling this whole thing gamer gate 2. And it's be for the same reason, because they're trying to say that they're trying to to hold up the victim card. They're going, we're being victimized here. Everybody all these all these haters are coming out of the work woodwork trying to shut us down. Well, look at the game results. Nobody's buying anything that is made by Sweet Baby Inc. Even before they realize it's Sweet Baby Inc. Right. But there's a guy who didn't who started making a list of the games that our Sweet Baby Inc had, hands in.
And this is before it, from, like, God of War Ragnarok. It was a great game. I liked it, but, but a p you know, point out that, yeah, all of a sudden, Kratos, who was this big mean gruff dude, all of a energy in him. Right. And he could he could say, okay. Yeah. It's because he, you know, it's been several years since from, God of War 2016 or 2018. And God of War, Ragnarok came out. There was a couple years in between there. So, yeah, there was time for what they call, the event of symbol winner come about. And so there might have been some changes that happened in there. So it was, it was acceptable bend of energy, but it was also a just, just enough to where you kinda were like going, really? There's something, you know, something off on on on Kratos there. But you could quite put your finger on it. Well, you say that's the thing. You know? It's it's like it's like
[00:37:49] Duuude-Ron :
don't fuck with the good thing. Yeah. It's star wars.
[00:37:53] Bryan Goodwin:
If if it's not broke, don't fucking fix it. That's it. Yeah. And that's the problem with star wars. Star wars, they I mean, granted, yeah, the first one, it was like, oh my god. Come on, man. We're just retelling Star Wars here. And, you know, you got to the second one and all of a sudden it wasn't the death star. It was star killer and it was this basically, the death star inside of a planet. And we were like going, okay. Okay, guys. Come on. A little originality here. You know, we we've seen the story already, and then all of a sudden, they have the second movie come out, and it's, Girl Power All the Way.
I mean, you actually have, Laura Dern's character telling, telling, the guy who played, Cameron, or, Poe, you know, you mind, you do what I say. You know, she was basically dressing him down, telling him he better start listening to what women have to say. I did this whole raw raw raw feminism is good speech. And that's where's they they lost the Star Wars crowd fans.
[00:38:54] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:38:56] Bryan Goodwin:
And Kathleen Kennedy just Yeah. Mandalorian. I per It started out as a really good space western that somehow became all about, about Mando being a dad. Alright. Okay. Yeah. Well He's got baby Yoda. He he we're doing good. He accomplished what we needed to. We got baby Yoda to a to a, to a a, to a Jedi master, one of the last round. And okay. Yeah. Somewhere along the way it was young Luke. So I never I never got into Mandalorian or Grogu like like everybody else did. It well, the first season was really good. The second season was pretty good.
This, the I haven't I didn't even watch this last season. Wasn't interesting. Right. Didn't, I watched, Obi Wan Kenobi. And, and it was okay. It wasn't stupendous. It wasn't wonderful. But again, it was the the main character, the person who had the great redemption was this, again, this woman, who was at, who was a, a grand inquisitor, who was out to to be the bad guy, but all of a sudden kinda had a change of heart, became became a good person. I didn't even watch Ahsoka. I just was, like, kept kept keep watching them, and each one was getting a little worse. And, I mean, the barbell was going downhill fast.
Yeah. So you don't I never I after after, after, what was the one? The Eternals. Once the Eternals trying to figure out what this was all about, watched a lot of the series, you know, likes like, Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Okay. It's a decent it was a decent series. Not most wonderful, but okay. Decent series. Never had it. Had its problems. Then, WandaVision actually was a really neat concept. But then, you know, you took her and you walked, moved her over into, Multiverse of Madness, and you were kinda left scratching your head as, like, what's the purpose? She just brought a mountain down on her head.
[00:41:10] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. I mean Hang hang on. Hang on. Are these games or are these TV We're still talking Marvel movies now. Sorry. We're Oh, yes. See, I I know I know nothing about Marvel
[00:41:21] Bryan Goodwin:
movies. And and well, the the first the first set of Marvel, if you wanna watch all the way up up to, Civil War and, and and and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3
[00:41:32] Duuude-Ron :
I'm gonna read and send the first one. Oh,
[00:41:35] Bryan Goodwin:
dude. Watch them. They are The Those marbles, there's a reason why they were so popular. There's a reason why Disney went on head and bought them. Because they are absolutely great stories. They centered around the stories. You got wonderful character development and all. And for and start I would go go in house or go in chronological order. Okay. And just start with, you know, with, with Captain America, the first Avenger, and just, you know, just go through there. You can look it up online and go, hey, what's the, you know, what's the first, what's the chronological order for all the, all the the Marvel movies.
And once you get up to civil war, all great. After that, it kinda starts to really wane and go bad. And all the way to where yet the, the marbles, which was supposed to be Captain Marvel and, and a couple of the other, television series, Marvel characters that were introduced. And it, you know, I didn't even watch it. I wasn't even interested in watching it because I saw She Hulk, and She hulk could have been good. It was almost good, except for the fact that right off the bat, she could control her anger. She could control her, her emotions. She could control everything. Anything she did, she did better than, than, than, than Bruce.
And it was just, oh my god. No. You know? Don't no character arc whatsoever. All of a sudden, she's a badass hulk woman and and, could do everything better and was being a being a a a lawyer at the same time. Yeah. And somewhere in the middle decided to start working with, with Megan Thee Stallion, which if you don't know her, she's some R and B rapper chick who's got way too much fat deposits on in the butt. And, and it was a really bad, bad scene. Horrible scene. And it was just like, oh god. No. Let's not do this.
[00:43:44] Duuude-Ron :
Sound sounds like you have nightmares still from that scene. Well, I I
[00:43:49] Bryan Goodwin:
I I I watch Nerd Erotic, from time to time, and he does a really good job of expelling the, the expelling the, the the the the the trauma that was induced by it by watching that. Okay. So but there I mean and you could see the value of of Disney. Thanks to the the DEI, mindset and the policies that they put in. So I mean, and the because and it the the DI fits. It's, you know, it's not diversity, equity, inclusion. It it's discrimination. It's exclusion and it's indoctrination. That's what it's all about. It's it's about excluding anybody that doesn't include them. It's, about indoctrinating as many people as they possibly can. And the funny thing is is thanks thank God we have a capitalist system.
Now we've got a lot of crony capitalism going on. Right? Because I mean, if we if if it was a 100% capitalism, we wouldn't have the damn windmills and solar farms up that we have. But, you know, it is what it is. We've got a lot of cronies around. But thanks to capitalism, Disney's suffering. Disney's hurting their freaking asses off. They've dropped so much in in their in their, their their values. The people who went off made the video game, Alan Wake 2, thanks again to Sweet Baby Inc, had to shut their doors because they agreed. Okay. Well, we're gonna go ahead and do this. Now Microsoft didn't help in matters, Annie, because Microsoft's requiring that people go, actually implement and have to have some type of diversity, not counselor, but a consultant hired on.
[00:45:34] Duuude-Ron :
Really?
[00:45:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. So Yes. But I mean, it's Microsoft. It's it's they're going they're doing that. They're, you know, everybody's doing a bit about TikTok, but hell, we're not we're not look batting an eye at the fact of what what Google, Facebook, apple, any of those, any of the other big tech companies around all the data they have and that they're they're exploiting.
[00:45:56] Duuude-Ron :
I mean Oh, yeah. No.
[00:45:59] Unknown:
No. You said it. Personally, I think when they had Galaga, Centipede, Asteroids, Pac Man, I was good. Anything past that? No. Ain't I wouldn't play none of those games. Call of duty, you know, and I understand there's 100 of thousands of people that love that game.
[00:46:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, it's a fun game. I'll give you that. Oh, I can't stand it.
[00:46:28] Unknown:
I I won't play well, I'm not gonna get a PS 4, PS 5, or any of these gaming systems because I just can't stand the games.
[00:46:40] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, but you haven't tried Red Dead Redemption.
[00:46:45] Duuude-Ron :
God. No. No. No. I
[00:46:48] Bryan Goodwin:
was just Red Dead Redemption is the freaking most awesome game. And it's not just because of the the of the of the image. The images are great. Yes. The story is incredible. It is a story about redemption.
[00:47:04] Unknown:
I've I'm I'm the type of person that's still trying to rescue the princess in Mario Brothers.
[00:47:14] Duuude-Ron :
Dude is still trying to rescue the princess, man. He's gonna be there a minute.
[00:47:21] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't think anybody's ever been there. I can think of is is Jack Black's song. Prince of peach peach peach. I
[00:47:29] Duuude-Ron :
I love you rock. Yeah. I honestly, I I I don't know if anyone's rescued the princess.
[00:47:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Many times.
[00:47:39] Duuude-Ron :
Oh,
[00:47:41] Bryan Goodwin:
okay. Well, I never had my You do it pretty much at the end of each world. It's just that Bowser goes off, snags her, runs off again.
[00:47:48] Duuude-Ron :
So Well, yeah. So so, I mean, you don't get her. You don't end up with her. Well, you do eventually. And I mean, that's kind of the all the other Mario
[00:47:58] Bryan Goodwin:
worlds out there, I mean, like Paper Mario and Mario World and Mario RPG and all those others, you do finally get to the point where you get to actually capture, the princess. So yeah.
[00:48:11] Unknown:
Okay. Yeah. The all the only other one would be the Mario
[00:48:14] Bryan Goodwin:
go kart 1. Mario Kart. Freaking rocks, man. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. That that's probably my new Except Rainbow Road. God, that's not that that that road that track is for shit.
[00:48:31] Unknown:

Run around being being Arthur Morgan, back in the, back in the turn of the century.
[00:49:23] Duuude-Ron :
Cheers. Cyberpunk 2077,
[00:49:25] Bryan Goodwin:
man. Oh, that's that's a blast too. I mean, hell, it's it's one of the it I love the graphics on it. Oh, the graphics are amazing.
[00:49:33] Unknown:
Guess what I still have in my house?
[00:49:35] Bryan Goodwin:
What's that? I got a Commodore 64 somewhere down in the basement.
[00:49:39] Unknown:
Really? I got an Atari. Yeah. I got an Atari.
[00:49:42] Duuude-Ron :
An Atari, Dude. That's awesome.
[00:49:47] Unknown:
Now it it's not the one that has the individual cartridges for the games. It's newer than that, but it has all the games that Atari
[00:50:01] Bryan Goodwin:
ever came out. Oh, okay. So you have the, the the the Atari mini, the Atari classic that they gave out, several years ago then?
[00:50:10] Unknown:
Yeah. And has all the games already built into it. Right. Yeah. That's that's what I got.
[00:50:16] Bryan Goodwin:
All the all the awesome Activision's ones, like Kaboom and River Raid and Punch or not Punch. Yeah. They probably had Punch Out, but what was that other one? Second was called Knockout Knockout where it was it was Wow. It's a top down boxing game. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it was so fun because you would are, if you got a person in the corner and every time you hit the button, it, it, it, all you would see is this guy and his arms are out to the side and he would just punch up like this. But if you got a person in the ropes just right, you could sit there and just clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, and you would hit him. And the first person to get to a 101 is essentially what it is. If you get a 100 punches in before the time ran out, you were you know, you won by by knockout.
If not, then you the it was just a technical knockout on, on whoever had the highest score. But, yeah, it was so it was a blast just to just sit there and hit my sister in the corner and just. And she'd go, scream and go run off, and met crying, and I'd get yelled at by by my stepmom, told the letter, win 1. I know her for it. And then let her get almost there, and then run fight back and just, you know, you just can't help yourself. Can't help it. Dude. Just sorry. You should get, Brian, you should get your Commodore 64 out and play with him then. You have to see if I could find the damn thing again.
[00:51:43] Duuude-Ron :
That would be man, that would be awesome.
[00:51:46] Bryan Goodwin:
But
[00:51:47] Unknown:
but now there's a What was the name of I mean, what was the name of that game that I I said I liked that took you to all the planets in our solar system? What was the name of that game?
[00:51:57] Bryan Goodwin:
Gyruss.
[00:51:58] Unknown:
Gyruss. If I had the the the big box game, like, was in the in the arcades that I used to play on
[00:52:08] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh.
[00:52:09] Unknown:
I'd be doing that right now. I'd have it sitting in the corner of my living room, and I'd be spending about, oh, 6, 7 hours a day just playing that game. That would be my that would be the shit.
[00:52:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Absolutely. Alright. Tell me, can you see the screen?
[00:52:28] Unknown:
Can I see our screen?
[00:52:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Can yeah. Can you see what I've put up on the screen? Did I actually share this correctly? The only people now identify are with gender, see Okay. And then Alright. There we go. Yeah. Alright. So let's go ahead and let's get on let's get moving on this. So we've talked about mentioned gender season, which is, which is an amazing season that's among us. And as you can see on the picture, we've got someone who can't have natural hair color. So we know we you know what type of type of hijinks we're up against. We're up against people who are just a, definitely a nonconformist.
And young people are now identifying as, as gender season, as, meaning their gender changes with the time of the year. For example, I feel more masculine in the summer. Well, most guys feel feel more masculine during summer because we get summer dick, man. I mean, come on. It's it's just one of those things with, with guys. So our our we we like the fact that, summer comes along because now everything's just cold, And and things kinda air out a bit. So but anyhow, so this is what do y'all think about this? Do you, genders for the season. So during the summer, you might, feel a little more masculine. Or if you're a girl, you might feel a little more feminine in the, in the wintertime. That way, you can wear the big bulky sweaters and and be snuggly if you want to. Or did I just completely lose everybody?
No. That No. You got they they got sick and left.
[00:54:01] Unknown:
Right. This is my philosophy. Eve k. Was made for or Adam was made for Eve, not for Steve.
[00:54:12] Bryan Goodwin:
K. Okay. Got that.
[00:54:15] Unknown:
You know, anything other than that is man, woman. Anything other than that, you know, I just sorry. I don't believe in it based upon my faith.
[00:54:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Well, I love the fact that they've now got even more specific pronouns for these for these, for these, for these seasonal genders. So, like, if you're for the summer, you're known as summer. Summers are summer cell. Winter is winter winter's winter cell. Fall fall's fall self. Autumn autumn's autumn's autumn self. Yeah. They'd say they don't put a whole lot of thought into grammar,
[00:54:56] Duuude-Ron :
but, you know, it's put a whole lot of thought into any freaking stuff. I mean, come on, Brian.
[00:55:04] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, you got spring, spring, spring, self, weather, weather, self, sun, sun, sun, snow, snow, snow cell. And it's like dip dip dip shit. You know?
[00:55:19] Duuude-Ron :
I mean, how many ways can they figure out to say I'm a freaking dipshit?
[00:55:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, how many times can they reach out? They scream out and say, I wanna be as special as my mommy said I would. Because that's essentially what they're doing. They're just going, well, everybody says I'm supposed to be special, so I wanna be what I wanna be trouble. You know? You know what?
[00:55:44] Duuude-Ron :
Go be special, cupcake.
[00:55:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Just everybody does have to agree with you. Exactly. We don't if you wanna feel like you're a a a, a, a unicorn with with rhino skin, be my guest. But don't expect me to have to play along with your delusion. Exactly. No. I don't care to play pre play pretend with someone who, 1, probably doesn't even know what the original hair color is. 2, I gotta give you a hint on something. I'm not gonna buy anything you say if you have funky colored hair as it is, especially blue green. What is up with blue green and feminist? Well, I I actually, I understand. Feminists, we do y'all do know what feminism is actually. Right?
[00:56:30] Duuude-Ron :
No. I mean, yeah. I probably do, but not right after feminism.
[00:56:34] Bryan Goodwin:
If you ask a feminist, what's feminism about? They will usually say something to the lines of we want equal rights And the reason why they only say it that way is because they can't If they set the whole line they would lose 90% of the women. And what it is is they want equal rights for ugly women. If ugly women, they want equal rights for ugly women.
[00:57:01] Duuude-Ron :
What do you mean?
[00:57:02] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, okay. Look at who marries the really hot rich guys. Beautiful women. Right? No. Yeah. Well, yeah. But but 90% of the time. I I mean, there's some that Right. They they actually go after the girl's personality and and, and and so they get a girl who's kinda more more homely looking. But at the same time, who who do you when you're looking at women who are on television, who have the big, the big paying jobs on television, Katie Couric, pretty decent on the eyes. Yeah. The other major news anchors, pretty decent on the eyes. Right? Yeah. There Yeah. Okay. You're not gonna have you're not gonna have Zorgon the destroyer as a news anchor.
[00:57:54] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. No. Okay. Yeah.
[00:57:57] Bryan Goodwin:
So this is a equal rights for ugly women. The ugly women want to have access to the wealthy men. The ugly women wanna have access to the to the glamorous jobs. And to do that, they have to first get everybody okay with looking at a beautiful woman going. Yeah. You're you're you're too good looking. And the and the and the good looking women have sadly fallen in with this because they don't full tell the whole story. And so they're going, yeah. Yeah. We wanna we're feminist too. We want equal rights. Well, sorry, but they're the the ugly women's the the the the the women with short blue hair and 10,000, you know, it's got a strong enough neck because they're they got at least £5 of piercings on their face.
[00:58:50] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[00:58:51] Bryan Goodwin:
You know, it's kinda like on on, on on Pulp Fiction with Josh Boltz's character. Is that the one that's got all the shit on her face? And Eric Stoltz. The character's like, man, that's my wife. Oh, shit. Sorry. But
[00:59:09] Duuude-Ron :
but Yeah. No. But but see, that's the thing, you know, you know, it's like it's like, do you, boo, is is is my motto. Yeah. You know, if you want 5 or £10 of piercings on your face and on your body, and I'll tat it up from head to toe, rock on, go forward. I give them a damn,
[00:59:29] Bryan Goodwin:
but don't but again, don't expect everybody else to, to accept it. Exactly.
[00:59:35] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly right there because everything you do has consequences and every choice you make has consequences. And if you made that choice, you have to accept the consequences that come with it. So, so if you don't get that rich hot guy as, as a husband and you get, you know, you know, Fat Albert or something, hey, make the best of it. Right. And if you don't like it, stay single then.
[01:00:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, yeah. But at the same time, what what a lot of them don't realize is and they're again, they're trying to destroy what the definition of what beauty is. They're trying to change beauty so that again, like the games, you've got you've got they're throwing a fit about Stellar Blade because Stellar Blade has a hot chicken. And she's bites, and she's a badass. And she Right. She But but Okay. Hold on. Well well the other thing is different for everybody. Beauty is different for everybody though because I agree with that. But I'm I'm But at the same time we still have we still have an idea of what beauty is. Why do you think they're now trying to get men into beauty pageants? Why? Because one Do what? Men are pretty freaking ugly.
There again. Yeah. They put there there are men in miss universe pageant.
[01:00:59] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, get out of here.
[01:01:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Yes.
[01:01:01] Duuude-Ron :
Oh my god. See you.
[01:01:05] Bryan Goodwin:
See you. Men
[01:01:07] Unknown:
you know, and and talking about the the pretty and so on like that, you know, pretty is only skin deep. Right? But ugly goes to the bone. Right. You know, mine goes my ugly goes to the bone marrow.
[01:01:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. There we go. Miss Universe 2023, Browns, r bony Gabriel Crown's first transgender winner of Miss Netherlands. That's just that's just right. Now tell me, which one do you think is the man and which one's the woman?
[01:01:38] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. You gotta picture up? Yeah. Yeah. Look in the screen. It's the tall blonde, I think.
[01:01:44] Unknown:
The tall blonde is the is the guy. The one that's uglier in sin. Exactly.
[01:01:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Try real hard to to look feminine, but can't. Right. The one that has an Adam's apple. The one that has an Adam's apple. The one that has man men's facial feature. Yeah.
[01:02:01] Duuude-Ron :
But see, that's the thing, though. Because because I've known people, you know, skinny guys, real short skinny guys that love large women. And that is fine. That is great. I'm, you know, I'm, I am all for that. If, if Yeah. More cushioned
[01:02:16] Bryan Goodwin:
by gosh, you're all skin and bones. That's great. But at the same time, you know, we all have we but as a general rule, we do know what is beautiful.
[01:02:28] Duuude-Ron :
We've been brainwashed into thinking what is beautiful, Brian. No. No. No. No. No. We Yes, we have. Instinctually
[01:02:34] Bryan Goodwin:
know what is beautiful. Well, I mean Now the the the standard what is what society has the standards kinda changes except for the fact that that you've got the the hourglass figure is always there. It may not be 36, 24, 36.
[01:02:51] Duuude-Ron :
It may be Only 85, 48. 3.
[01:02:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, you know, that's the same time. Throw that in. But but, I mean, even if you look at the at the, in the middle age and all those and all those women, they were kinda plump. They were kinda chunky, but they weren't freaking dudes.
[01:03:11] Duuude-Ron :
Well, no. You're right. You do have a point. We had They went beauty standards.
[01:03:17] Bryan Goodwin:
These days, we look at why do why do all of us guys look at Sports Illustrated? Because our Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, we look at that because we wanna see hot chicks in wet t shirts, essentially. The keyword being hot chicks. And, yes, I say hot chicks on purpose because I know that piss is feminist stuff. I love tweaking their nose. So
[01:03:43] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I haven't I haven't looked at a Sports Illustrated now for
[01:03:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, I haven't either because I, if I'm thinking right, they've also had a transgender on their on their last, their last cover. I wouldn't doubt it. Yeah. No. Well, no. It's ESPN that owns Sports Illustrated, and and ESPN is owned by Disney. I think that's who it is. I think that's who owns Sports Illustrated. I think you're right. No. No. I'm, I I'm I'm I'm second guessing that now. But, yeah. Mhmm. But yeah. Yeah. They they wokeism actually, I think they had a had a dude on the on Sports Illustrated cover. I think it might have been in 2022 or maybe 2023.
Anyhow, they they they they've yeah. They already decided to do the do the uproar of doing having a dude on there. But, I mean, you look at anything that's done well, there's a good reason why the the phrase is go woke, go broke. Because, 1, nobody cares to have that crap shoved down their throat. 2, we know deep down in our core, even if you are most liberal of of of liberals, you'd know deep down in your core that's a line of hooey. You're just trying to swallow it because it'll makes you look in. It's in in, in the know. It's kinda like, you know, in the eighties, the end disease at that time was being lactose intolerant.
In the nineties, it was peanut butter. In the 2000, it was other nut allergies. 2010 was was, was, was anxiety disorder. And the 2000, it's kind of a combination of is there's a couple of them, but duking it out right now. It's one's, gender dysphoria, and the other is is narcissism. And, there's a couple others that I've I've seen they poke their head up for a second and go, never mind. I'm out of here. And they get dismissed. But but no. And they're they're fads. They're just bad diseases to make you feel like you're, you know, feel like you're you're in in on the, on the crowd, but at the same time, it's just like, jeez.
No.
[01:05:55] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. No. That is. Yeah, seeing this this is a shit that just irks me off a lot of times.
[01:06:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, there we go. Okay. Yep. Yep. I'm on the editor. So we don't have to look at his face anymore. Well,
[01:06:12] Duuude-Ron :
yeah, Ron or, Brian, when when you brought that up, for some reason, my Zoom dropped out and came back. I don't remember. Yeah. I yeah. It had to be set in my mind. I don't know what, but yeah. Because my Zoom shut down and, came right back up. Because at first, when you said, can you see my screen? And Ron's like, yeah. I can see it. And I'm thinking, guys,
[01:06:41] Bryan Goodwin:
I I can hear you, but I don't, you know, I'm sitting here thinking, yeah. Hey, you were still up. You were I still I still saw you and stuff. Yeah.
[01:06:48] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, wow. I couldn't see nothing over here. And then, and then it went down and back up and here I am.
[01:06:56] Bryan Goodwin:
So but no. That's it's this it's just it's interesting how, again, it's a lot of it is starting out in in the grade school areas where they're, you know, they're talking to, you know, 1st graders about about assorted things, but it's it I still am I'm almost well, not almost. I am in the same line of thought that a lot of people, think that the woke that's happening in the schools is more for the the pervs and the and and not just not just not gay people as how we used to refer to them as being, pervy. Because that it's not that. It's the guys who who are who get their rocks off talking to little kids about sex.
I that's closer to what they really what I think a lot a lot of what, the quote unquote woke stuff is about in in school. Because, I mean, they threw a big bit about the fact that you we were the the more sane adults were trying to get these very sexually explicit books. And I'm and there's books in the library that have explicit scenes in them. Right. But, I mean, when you have drawings, when they're picture books, essentially, of guys, you know, playing with themselves, guys slurping on each other's, each other's linguine, and and doing other assorted items like that, that's where where we I I go, yeah. Sorry, dude. Now I know you're getting your rocks off thinking that you can talk to talk sex to a to a, to a 7 year old, and you you think that's, you know, that gets you all hot and bothered.
But that's the reason why as parents throw a fit about it. That's why we want to want to just take you take you, throw you out in the middle of of nowhere and let you try to figure out how to get home. But but say but say again
[01:09:09] Duuude-Ron :
again, the school administrators are freaking allowing it.
[01:09:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. No. The and well, there's a lot of them that are. There's a lot that are not. But you and a lot of them, like, here in Oklahoma, a lot of you talk to the teacher unions and the teacher unions hate Ryan Walters, who is our, state superintendent at for Oklahoma.
[01:09:32] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:09:32] Bryan Goodwin:
And he has made huge steps denying woke ideology being able to be taught in school. Okay. Well, cool. And they get to and they they screech and holler and whine and cry and bitch and moan and groan and throw throw little temper tantrums over the fact that they can't do what they wanna do. And you will see see these teachers from time to time going, well, I know what what Ryan Walters claims, but it doesn't mean I'm not gonna stop. And then all of a sudden and you'll see them, you know, celebrating, showing their their their school, their their classroom in, on TikTok.
And then 3 days later, after the parents and and the folks on the Internet go, I don't know who that is. I know that they're over in such such school over in, so and so Oklahoma. And then next thing you know, 4 days later, they're getting fired. Now they're standing around going, oh, no. It's not good. We just But but but but
[01:10:31] Duuude-Ron :
hold it. Hold it. That's just one state. We've got 49 others.
[01:10:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And Yeah. Florida's doing a pretty damn good job of it. Texas? It's, it's, it there's places in Texas that are doing good, and there's places in Texas that. We Right. And and roof is a lot of Austin. A lot of Dallas, a lot of, a lot of, of Houston. San Antonio's get get pretty bad.
[01:11:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. See see, that's where see, that's where, you know, you know, a lot of people think, oh, we can't do this. All of, all of these school board people are elected. Yeah. They're all freaking elected. So, yeah, it's very simple today. It's called
[01:11:20] Bryan Goodwin:
vote. Yeah. And that's, that a lot of them have done that. Moms for Liberty. Vote. Yeah. Moms for Liberty has kicked a lot. But the problem that you also run into is a lot of these school board, these very woke liberal school board members are funded by Soros, money.
[01:11:40] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, I don't doubt it. But still, I mean, I mean, as as long as you can get enough people to get on the same page, which I know that's a challenge.
[01:11:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. And they but the funny thing is is they're very actions. Yeah. And they're very and the very actions that they're doing, especially during when the parents were really throwing a big fit about this, like, over in, where is that, over in Virginia, the the main school district that most of the senators' children go to.
[01:12:12] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, I I can't think of the name of it, but I I've heard about it. Is it Broward County?
[01:12:18] Bryan Goodwin:
I think it's Broward. Broward. Broward. Broward. But at the same time, I'm going, no. That's Florida.
[01:12:25] Unknown:
Ryan, what was you gonna say? Yeah. It starts with it it starts with an f. An f? That that names, that names county starts with an f if I'm not mistaken.
[01:12:36] Duuude-Ron :
Fairfax?
[01:12:37] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Not Yeah. No. No. And it's not Fairfax. I think it starts with a b, but, let's see here. Let's look here because it was, it's same school district that actually sicked, that got the, the FBI, the justice department to go after the parents, calling them, terrorists.
[01:12:59] Duuude-Ron :
I wanna say that. Parents
[01:13:02] Bryan Goodwin:
are terrorists. So weird. Well, I tell you, this is high quality, AG's, Paxton sues Biden administration for silencing prayer. Parents labeling them as terrorists. This is back in 2022. Oh, that's Ken Paxton again. That's good old state of, of, of Texas. And, let's see here. Done. Can anyone else This here, October 8, 2021, is saying,
[01:13:29] Duuude-Ron :
the, is it was in the Fairfax Times, and that's, in Fairfax County, Virginia.
[01:13:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. That might be it is that, that, that,
[01:13:40] Duuude-Ron :
the US, attorney general Merrick Garland, was, yeah, trying to get the, FBI against the parents Yeah. In the home, the school board members deemed threatening.
[01:13:54] Bryan Goodwin:
And you see, there again, this is where That's the that's the key. Deemed threatening. What does Right. Deemed threatening mean? Well, they didn't like him, so, yeah. They Yeah. So they deemed that a threat. Through their is it a threat to their ideology or that threat to their physical being? And when did somebody there actually act, act threatening towards, towards them? I mean, a whole lot of different lines
[01:14:20] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I mean, well, well, yeah. But but yeah. They say, you know, they'd say something about, oh, your speech offended me or whatnot. And you see, this is what I'm talking about. This is rampant across across the nation.
[01:14:34] Bryan Goodwin:
And Yeah. Yeah. Words are violence. Yeah. No. Words are just vibration shaped by your tongue and mouth. That's all they are. Yeah. You think that you think they got power? Crucio, you know, see if you can cast Crucio curse upon them. All of a sudden, you're not seeing them writhing in pain for some reason. Why why is that? Oh, because words don't have power. Now they did can they can carry an effect if you agree with them. Right. But that's the key. You have to actually agree with what the person's saying for it to have, to have any effect.
You're an ugly bastard. Yeah. I'm an ugly bastard. Well, fuck you. How did you know that I'm an ugly bastard? I, you know, and they're gonna get mad because people are because deep down, you agree with the with the words that were cast. Right. So that's words don't have power. Words aren't violent. Yeah. You take the word, you take that vibration and you interpret it to mean something in particular.
[01:15:39] Duuude-Ron :
Well, true. But you see, this is the way all of us were raised. And this is why this is why a lot of a lot of the people out here can't handle a lot of this stuff because they don't know how to process. They think, they think the way they were raised is, is the way life life should be. Right. You know? And, and it doesn't matter how old you are. I I don't care if you're 85 or 15. Oh, my mommy and daddy raised me this way. This is the only way I can be. No. There's a whole world out there. You just have to you just have to open your mind. And and that's the hardest job right there is trying to get your mind in sync with where you wanna go. Because believe me, your mind wants to go elsewhere.
I promise you. Yep.
[01:16:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Now let's go to it and let's change over to a new topic, still in the same field. We're still talking schools, but we're gonna talk about gen z's moment in the sun. They they're they're Iwo Jima. The moment that came about, thanks to all of the communist rap bastards that are going to school these days. Growing up, being taught how to hate the USA, how to hate what they're stand stand for. But in the midst of all that betrayal, hate, piss, vinegar, multicolored confusion, gender confusion that they have, There is a group of of fraternity brothers Pi kappa phi. From the Pi kappa phi. And they decided to stand up and protect the US flag.
So so, Rich, you got a little bit of, a little bit of information on that. And what we'll do is I'll let you I'll let you talk about it, and then I'm going to read their GoFundMe page, which is just amazing.
[01:17:44] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's in and, it's it's actually gone up almost $20,000 since we started our conversation at 7.
[01:17:54] Bryan Goodwin:
It is awesome. Second.
[01:17:56] Duuude-Ron :
But yeah. No. No. Basically, what it is is, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
[01:18:07] Bryan Goodwin:
They What was that, Ron?
[01:18:09] Unknown:
No. Yeah. Yeah. Chapel Hill. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. We're good. Yeah. They,
[01:18:15] Duuude-Ron :
well, they've been protesting now for past couple weeks. And, basically it's all the woke woke, woke, woke liberal kids that, believe, Palestine, you know, the whole Israel Palestine thing is just, you know, freaking atrocious, you know, it's like, I'm sorry, but there's been other wars and skirmishes that are worse. But I digress on that. But the students here took down the American flag and put up the Palestinian flag because these Americans I didn't know my phone was gonna do that.
[01:18:54] Bryan Goodwin:
But these American people Good timing though. It's like, hey. That's not cool. Don't do that.
[01:19:02] Duuude-Ron :
It's actually pretty cool. But no, honestly, these Marquise time. These, these are freaking kids. American kids are are so in love. They think with Palestine and, they think, oh, we need to save Palestine. And they took the American flag down and put the Palestinian flag up. And the dean of Chapel Hill said, oh, hell no. He went out, took the flag down and, put the American flag back up. Well, apparently these kids didn't get to hint. These woke liberal kids didn't get to hint, and they come and took it down again and put the Palestinian flag up. Well, the, Dean came back out, took it down in, the second time when he put it up the, I kappa phi fraternity got up under it, made sure the flag would not touch the ground and just stood there smiling at all these woke liberal kids, when they were
[01:20:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Call me bastards. That's what they are.
[01:20:15] Duuude-Ron :
When they were throwing rocks and hurling insults, you know, you know, it's funny. They wanna save Palestine and all like this, but, and, and these, these brothers of, of this fraternity was, defending the American flag. And yet these people were hating on them. It's like, it's like, I don't get it, you know, but yeah. And so they started a GoFundMe page and they, say John it says John Noonan, organized a fundraiser on behalf of Susan Ralston for the GoFundMe.
[01:20:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. And what they'd put in there was absolutely epic. And I wish I had someone humming glory, glory, hallelujah in the background mhmm, mhmm, mhmm. But because and have someone with the drums just softly planned because it reads like this. Commie losers across the country have invaded college campuses to make dumb demands of weak university administrators. But amidst the chaos, the screaming, the antisemitism, the hatred of faith and flags stood a platoon of American heroes, armed armed and Vineyard Vines and Patagonia fueled by zen and white claws. These triumphant brohemians protected, oh, glory from the unwashed Marxist horde.
Laughing at their shrieks and wails and shielded the stars to stripes from Soviet missiles. These boys, no men of the UNC Chapel Hill, pi kappa 5, gave the best to to America, and now they deserve the best as this. So help raise funds to throw off this frat par frat the party they deserve. A party worth the boats, boat shoe bro proletariat who did their country proud. And so and I I would like I said, I would love if we could find, maybe post production in there, find someone do just humming the glory, glory, or just playing the drums and just some music of the glory, glory, hallelujah.
Yeah. Okay. Duh. You know? So because, every time I read through that while I'm here, it is just a So but I mean, that's just great that these guys were willing to stand up. And they're and that's gonna be our, that's that's, that's our show to a title. The boat shooed proletariat. Love that phrase. The boat shooed proletariat.
[01:23:05] Duuude-Ron :
How do you spell that? BR0leteriat. Oh, okay. Hang on. Hang on. Spell that second word again.
[01:23:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Let's it's bravo, Romeo, Oscar, Lima, echo, tango, echo, Romeo, India, alpha tango.
[01:23:30] Duuude-Ron :
Thank you. Same. Perfect copy. I I I I'm I can't I can't do it any other way. If you spell something to me,
[01:23:42] Unknown:
do it right. Peneticly, please. Yes, please. Because
[01:23:45] Duuude-Ron :
I for some my brain has a hard time, you know. If you spell it out, if you spell it It's not the phonetic alphabet. Right? If it's You said here. If it's not phonetic,
[01:23:58] Bryan Goodwin:
I, it ain't nothing.
[01:24:00] Duuude-Ron :
No, I, I, I just, I just can't do it. You know? Yeah. I mean, that was that was perfect copy. I love that. And, you know, here here's here's my
[01:24:11] Unknown:
take on it. Okay. If you want if you want to if they want the Palestinian flag to fly, They are more than invited to move
[01:24:25] Bryan Goodwin:
to
[01:24:27] Unknown:
Palestine, join their military, and fight.
[01:24:33] Bryan Goodwin:
But that would not help change the US into a very pro Palestinian environment. They're wanting to change America. They don't give a shit about pal well, then Palestine itself. They they're not that's not their end goal. Well, no. Care about about that. They don't even actually even wanna fight. It's kinda, again,
[01:24:54] Duuude-Ron :
too hard to back the video game. They want they want all of us to bend down and kiss Amasa's ass.
[01:25:00] Bryan Goodwin:
They they wanna they wanna change us to to their line of thinking. But and is because like I said, to harken back to the games, you have people like, I was kinda, kinda briefly was mentioning it. Warhammer 40 k is a tabletop role playing game. And they're known for having these massive The, well, I can say massive, but then I'm fixing to say miniatures. They got little miniature armies that you can make, that you can sit there and paint. That's part of the fun of it is you can paint these little little miniatures and make these massive armies that you pit against other people.
And they the the company that owns 40, Warhammer 40 k is, Games Workshop. And they're fixing to through, through Amazon, do a television series, which is gonna turn out being probably just as freaking bad as as the rings of power. And, what was the other, Well, the the fallout is is they're they're kinda they kinda hard pull back a bit on the on the wokeism on on, on Fallout. But at the same time, Fallout's main character again was this was not somebody who they would have send out into the, into the the the wastelands, which was a girl.
[01:26:25] Duuude-Ron :
So they completely Actually, I've got fallout 4 on on my PS 5.
[01:26:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Fallout 4. I mean, that game last you'll be playing that for 3 hour or 300 hours easily. But it's doubt it. But it's you the the game itself, you, you know, you've got you've got, all the, the aspects and the lore about, about Fallout. And they changed some of the lore. Well, they changed the lore on warhammer 40 ks also to where one of the, there's a there's a faction that is called, oh, shit. What is it? The Adept Custodians. And essentially, the way that it started out being is it was an all handpicked, all male group that protected the the the god king, the the emperor of mankind is, I think, what they called it. I don't play warhammer.
But I've I've just heard a couple of people who are really passionate about it get in because Henry Cavill was talking about being in this Warhammer 40 k series because he got tired of the wolf. Superman. Man of steel, Superman.
[01:27:38] Duuude-Ron :
I thought that was Christopher Reeves. No. No. No. That's Superman.
[01:27:42] Bryan Goodwin:
That's 1980. This is the 2,000 something. Henry Cavill Henry Cavill, good dude. He's a super nerd. He'll he plays k. He he's a super nerd, but he's he's a he's a movie star also. I mean, I mean, Superman I I mean I mean, the last Superman I knew was Christopher Reeves. Okay? That'd be Okay. Now they, because you had Dean Cain from Smallville. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Dean Cain. And then after him knew him. The the latest Superman they came out with, which actually had, general Zod and and all them, all the bad guys from the original Superman, they they restarted them out like that. So they had, the Okay.
Oh, who was, Khalil? Crow. Russell Crow? Russell Crow. Yeah. Thank you. I kept trying to say Cameron Crow. I'm like, no. Who's the fuck is Cameron Crow? But, yeah. Russell Crowe was was Superman's dad. And then, Superman they have Superman come down and they they had, they had general Zod and and and all of them. They all came down and they were they were fighting and all that. But Henry Cavill was the, was the Superman. He was also the guy who played, Geralt in, The Witcher. If you watch The Witcher series on on, oh, come on, man. There's some good looking boobies on on The Witcher series on on Netflix. I've never heard of The Witcher. So I have missed out on the boobies. I am standing out in the middle of nowhere screaming into the nothing. All the awesome.
Anyhow, Netflix. Netflix, go go look up Watch the first, 1st season. 1st season was good. 2nd season, I didn't watch the 3rd season. Because, again, they they just kept going worse and worse and worse. And Henry Cavill was like going, dude, this this has gotten stupid. Because the witcher, Gerald, or Geralt, not Gerald. Geralt was a, is this superhuman monster hunter is the best way to call it. He is a Okay. He is, he is a essentially a mutant or a mutated human who goes out and is able to fight ghosts and and, Leshens and all these other mythical monsters out there. And he uses a combination of magic and special swords and things like that.
But he's a badass dude. He's the based on a, think a Swedish author's, set of stories. And Okay. He's got, like, 5 I think 5, 6 books out. He's got a few several books out. But they've also got several video games out about The Witcher. There's The Witcher, The Witcher 2. The Witcher 3 is the one that you can actually play these days on, PlayStation 5, which is called the Wild Hunt. And it's very good game. Very good. They, done by the same people who did, Cyberpunk 2077. And pretty much had the same line of of of problems too. They started out it was just a flaming turd.
[01:30:55] Unknown:
Right.
[01:30:56] Bryan Goodwin:
And they worked on it and worked on it and worked on it and polished that turd up until it became a really wonderful game. So you can actually polish a turd.
[01:31:09] Duuude-Ron :
So, but you're, but anyhow, I am, I am so glad. I am so glad to know that. Yes. Because I've I've tried for years and it's never worked. Yeah. I I I've tried too and I just get really smelly fingers. It's terrible.
[01:31:23] Unknown:
So You know, I've polished jump boots. I've polished a rock, but I have never attempted to polish a turd.
[01:31:32] Bryan Goodwin:
It helps if you spray paint it gold first. It's just to let you know. Because we have had the one of the one of the, joke, words we used to give give out, in in school was was, the golden the golden cow pie. And it was we'd go out to some farmer's, pasture and find a dried up cow turd, and they would take it home, put spray paint the shit out of well, we spray paint the the shit and until it was just, you know, bright and shiny and and stuff, and we glued it to a board, and then we had a we decorated it up, and, yeah, yeah, it was the, it was the Golden Terrace award.
[01:32:12] Duuude-Ron :
So
[01:32:16] Bryan Goodwin:
Wow. Wow.
[01:32:18] Duuude-Ron :
Hey. Hey. At least,
[01:32:20] Bryan Goodwin:
yeah, at least at at least we knew how to have fun back in the day. Hell, hell, yeah. We did it was it was proper to take the piss out of each other from time to time. Right. So, I mean, that we I was I was in it's still I went to school and you still were able to have initiations for the freshmen.
[01:32:40] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, really?
[01:32:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I mean, it wasn't it wasn't a it wasn't a big thing, but, yeah. They the, the seniors would come by and pick up all the, all the freshmen and then proceed to completely humiliate them. Oh, wow. Yeah. No. See, And, it was something where the whole town would get to, go out and get, and and partake in it. And and they were the seniors would it was centered around. It there was one little point where it got a little carried away. They were try they decided to have, have the freshman, it was supposed to be mud wrestling, except it was mud wrestling and and and hogshit.
And so Oh. Yeah. Yeah. And so after that, when parents were like, alright. We're gonna calm this way the fuck down. You know?
[01:33:32] Duuude-Ron :
That's the thing. Mud wrestling. Okay. But, yeah, not not Yeah. Yeah. They or Yeah. It was all hogshit. So Yeah. No. That's just, yeah, that's just rough. I don't I don't care who you are. That's just rough.
[01:33:45] Bryan Goodwin:
You know, and that But that was proper initiation. So hang on, Ron. Right. Ron. Yeah. Ron. Go ahead, Ron. You know, yeah. Proper initiation.
[01:33:55] Unknown:
It was all for the fun of the event. Nobody was getting harassed. Nobody was getting demoralized. It was out to have a fun time. It was just a rite of passage.
[01:34:16] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. That's the keyword right there. And I think that is something all young men actually need to have and do not have enough of these days is an actual right of passage. They need to be taken out. Be tested because And I mean, everybody It's not it's not a bad thing. Yet, sometimes it gets carried away and that's when it gets to be a a be a problem. But at the same time, us men have to test the newcomers to go, can we trust your ass? Are you gonna bail on us when the time gets tough? Are you gonna stick there and stand beside us through thick and thin?
If you can No. Handle the the guff, if you can handle the the smack talk, if you can handle the the the, you know, the chilelis across your ass a couple times, welcome to the club. You're gonna be a brother in arms for the rest of your life. Well, and this is why Right. Exactly. This is why this is why us vets get along with each other so well. Exactly. I mean, hell. Wait. Did the navy had an initiate. I went through initiation to become a shell back, which is when you cross from the across the equator. Mhmm. Yep. There is a ceremony. You have it's called walk day, that day, and then you go through a essentially it's an obstacle course. Eventually you have to eat it, you have to take a cherry out of the fattest guy on on deck's belly button.
And, it and it it's a there's a lot of humiliation, but at the same time, at the end, you get this you get to be able to say, I am a shellback. Or in my case, I get to I got the the honor of saying, I am a golden shellback because I crossed at the international date line and the equator.
[01:36:06] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, wow. That's cool. Okay. So,
[01:36:09] Bryan Goodwin:
there's very even fewer of the diamond shellbacks because you have to go out of your way to go to to to 0, 0 degrees latitude, 0 degrees longitude. That that makes you a dime a diamond shellback, and there's even fewer of those. But yeah. Yeah. We got got a, golden shell back and yeah. It was now they don't do it as hard as go as hard as what they used to. They used to actually go off and soak fire hoses in, in salt water and really build up the crust on it. Mhmm. And that was where the chilets they would whoop you with. Oh, wow. So, I mean, they, they don't do that anymore, but, and you don't actually have to crawl on your on your hands and knees on the non skid anymore, which is thank God. I've I've I've I've still got still got a little little scar right here on the bottom of my hand from, from from that, from non skid whenever I just tripped over the, over the binding chains that held the held the planes in place in the, in the in the hangar bay. So
[01:37:13] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, that's man.
[01:37:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. No. That shit was mean.
[01:37:17] Duuude-Ron :
But, yeah, no. It's I agree. I agree. But you say that's the thing. You know, a lot of people, you know, they just, they freaking graduate high school or college and, and they expect to be seen as, as a fully fledged, well rounded person. And it's like dude, or do that. You're, yeah. Just got started.
[01:37:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You haven't shown, you haven't proven your medal yet.
[01:37:50] Unknown:
Right. You have to you have to earn that right.
[01:37:55] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. Oh, yeah. No. Most of these kids nowadays, they freaking demand, you know, demand it. And this is why the, hence, this is why they're rioting it at at these colleges because they're not getting recognized. They're white. Yeah. Yeah. They're just, yeah. Basically throwing a temper tantrum on the floor.
[01:38:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And that's there. I've had several, TikTok spats with, with with folks who were like like Mhmm. There was one where there's a a fairly she looked like she's probably 23, 24, fairly young gal who had gone through and earned 2 degrees. And she was complaining about the fact that she cannot get a job that pays her a $100,000. And it's like, yeah. Don't you don't you don't because you've just got degrees. You've got pieces of paper. That paper doesn't mean shit. That paper does not tell just means that you went off and you talked to the government into backing your dumbass move for spending $200. Yep.
And you're the dumbass who thought, hey, I can get 2 degrees on
[01:39:09] Duuude-Ron :
God only knows what it is. Well, that's fine. That's fine. Yeah. Have 4 degrees. I give nay damn, but if you have, you still have to experience You're gonna have to experience.
[01:39:20] Bryan Goodwin:
You're still starting out at $30,000. Right? You don't have to. I mean, that's starting out a lot more than what I started out at. I didn't make $30,000 until I was 35.
[01:39:29] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:39:30] Unknown:
And and which one in the long run is gonna pay you more money? Well, not more money. It might. Having 2 colleges having 2 college degrees or have gone through the school of hard knock?
[01:39:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, it real again, it depends. If they got if this girl got any, either one of her degrees was one that allowed her to become licensed and that had a skill that that came from it. So like an accountant, a doctor, a lawyer, then, yeah, she's still gotta work her way up to a $100 and she'll make more than than, you know, truck driver dude who didn't go to college. Me. You're going you still, you know, you're she's gonna make more in that way. But if she went in for women's studies and puppetry, no. You ain't gonna get paid $30,000 at the height.
Okay. But She she got the she had to learn she's going to learn through the school of hard knocks that, oh, women's gender studies is a worthless degree. I just spent a $150,000 on shit.
[01:40:47] Duuude-Ron :
Right? Yeah. But the thing is, what's the big deal about earning a $100,000? Because
[01:40:54] Bryan Goodwin:
these days? Well, you've you've seen the housing market. You're trying to find a house down in, down in Mississippi. Right. One and and there's no dig on the state but at the same time, it is one of the most impoverished states in the union. Yes. It is. And so you would think the cost of housing there would be a lot cheaper than it is. But no. You still are having to look for to buy a house. You're still chilling out 6 figures.
[01:41:19] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I I I do have a line on one that's only 5 figures.
[01:41:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, there you go. Yeah. High five figures, I'm sure.
[01:41:30] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[01:41:31] Bryan Goodwin:
High high five figure, but Hey, it's 5 figures. Okay. Yeah. Well, in Texas, Jan, my wife is looking for, for houses down around the Hamilton area. We're finding $100,000 single wide trailer houses. Yep. Yeah. It's a freaking trailer house. I mean, come on. You can buy the damn thing for under a $100,000 and the rest of them would be moving it to the damn new property. It's like, Jesus. It's not even a double, what? Come on. It's not modular homes. Oh, dude. Buying the house and you're go paying a $100,000 and you're instantly in the per you're you've lost half your value. Oh, yeah. Trailer houses are like cars. They lose their value as time goes on. Well, the thing is trailer houses have a car title.
[01:42:21] Duuude-Ron :
Believe it or not, they
[01:42:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Do they really? Yes. That would make sense since they have have wheels. You know? My mom my mom had one years ago. And, yeah. It's her shift. They it has a heart. So every year you have to register because,
[01:42:41] Duuude-Ron :
you know, I I never owned 1, but, yeah, I know. I mean, I don't know how it worked because, you know, I, I never owned 1, but yeah, I'm just saying, yeah, they, they have a car title and not a, house title or mortgage or deed or whatever. Yeah. It's crazy.
[01:42:56] Bryan Goodwin:
But yeah. I mean, it's like, okay. I get it. And we found some that are fairly, we found some areas that are a little bit cheaper, but they're, you know, you gotta, you've, you have to make a $100,000 these days just to be able to buy a house.
[01:43:12] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you, you say, no, you see, Brian, actually you don't because you can use the VA home loan benefit,
[01:43:20] Bryan Goodwin:
but to still be able to pay it off in 30 years, that payback, that amount of money, it's gonna be $15, $2,000 a month. No. Well, I, and, and I am, I am of the rule of thumb. I was raised with the rule of thumb. Your house
[01:43:37] Duuude-Ron :
does not take up more than 25% of your take home pay. Right. I get it. No, I know. That's I get it. And that's fine. But check this out. I just got a, approved for a $150,000. Right? Right. Payments on that is only 1200 a month.
[01:43:55] Bryan Goodwin:
And my house is house payment, which is, I mean, I've I've still I'm I'm I'll I'll take the I'm a fucking moron. But I've got an adjustable rate. I've got an arm on mine. No. Yeah. Yeah. So it's gone up. It's been going up. But at the same time, I'm still only paying 600 grand or 600 grand 600,
[01:44:18] Duuude-Ron :
$600
[01:44:20] Bryan Goodwin:
600 Stuck on the 1,000. I'm key. I keep trying to because, I mean, my house is only $60,000.
[01:44:26] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:44:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Of course, I did buy it 20 almost 30 almost 20 years ago. Yeah. We're coming up on 20 years next year.
[01:44:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I would yeah. I would try I would try and pay that off as soon as I can, get out from there.
[01:44:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Or I would like to, but but there's other factors that are keeping that from happening.
[01:44:45] Duuude-Ron :
So Okay. Well, either way, it just that
[01:44:49] Bryan Goodwin:
that I can Now if I can ever talk any of the any of our our esteemed listeners, if y'all wanna wants, to, to help me out and y'all would like to improve yourself at the same time, I do ho have a, a coaching package that, that will do you just fine. So but, yeah, I'm still trying to get if I can if I could and that's my big struggle is just getting that that coaching business going. Right. Once I could once I can get past the the stutter of of getting doing the ask, and I've actually this weekend or this weekend, this week, we're still still in the week, I came up, I I came up with a game plan that I I am now actually implementing.
Because because if I use what is the the prosperous coach meant, which is I'm not so much going up knocking on doors. I'm not cold calling people, so much as I am going to them and giving them an offer. Or not even an offer. I'm just, because I can do the free. I've got the free down, because I was able to fill up my free package, in in just a couple weeks. It was just boom. Yeah. Alright. Sweet. Got 5 people off the bat. I was like, this is awesome. Until I tried to do the $300 one night, I was like, you know, it's been stumbling for the past 2 months. Right.
So the the the prosperous coach method talks about contact. Connect with the person. Connect with the person. Connect with the person. Do that over and over. Just keep connecting with them. And eventually, not even eventually, like, the 3rd connection, you make an out you make an ask. So what I've started doing is I've started just saying, hey, I am out to do 50 coaching sessions. Mhmm. If you would like to have one, hit me up. We're we'll we'll do we'll do an hour long coaching, and that's all there is. And we'll if you wanna have another one, we'll set that up at a later date. You know? That that kind of rough eye rough area of what I I'm saying. There's a good bit more. I've got a little sales deal that I kinda scraped together. Right. And so what I'm doing is I'm just starting at the a's on my on my Facebook group or Facebook page, and my friends starting with the a's is just boom.
Boom. Trying to send out at least 2 a night. I can send out more, but right now, I'm just doing 2 just so that I can say I've done. Right. So I've done it. I've So I've sent out 4. I haven't gotten No. The nights yet, but, I've done 4. So we're gonna see how this works. See if I can get some, get some extra coaching going in, possibly fill up, my Tuesdays and maybe, what's left of of Saturdays. And and maybe do some on Friday evening, but I really actually don't wanna do Friday evenings because that's typically whenever I'm just I kinda like just sitting back, relaxing, and being a vegetable.
[01:47:50] Duuude-Ron :
So Yeah. That is fun.
[01:47:52] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. Being a turnip is kinda nice.
[01:47:56] Unknown:
Yeah. Or zucchini.
[01:47:58] Bryan Goodwin:
A zucchini? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So so but, yeah, it's just that's just something that's I don't even know why that that old top came up. But, yeah, it did. I guess just because that's been the big big big the big
[01:48:16] Duuude-Ron :
bit stuck in the car.
[01:48:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, it's it's it's it's, it's something that needs to be done. And, and yeah. So but I am. Yeah. That's cool. If you guys want y'all guys wanna help, just reach out to me, [email protected]. Right. I'll I'll get you. So k. So what else y'all got? Y'all got anything on y'all's line?
[01:48:40] Duuude-Ron :
Trying to think. Hang on. What's what's next week? Let me look. Say, I've I've actually my weeks have actually picked up now because, I've I've I've started taking a CW class or a Morris could class.
[01:48:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, okay. Okay. I was thinking CW as the, as television channel. I was like, oh, really? No. Or That they do they do they do classes. And what is it? You know? How do you do Smallville? Or
[01:49:06] Duuude-Ron :
Right. No. It's it's no. It's Morse code. Okay. No. Everything like that. So, yeah, on Fridays or Tuesdays and Fridays at 7 o'clock, they use Jitsi. They don't use Zoom. Okay. But, Yeah. I've got that. And then Wednesday, of course, we have our vet call and then Thursdays, you know, we do this. So Mhmm. So, yeah, Tuesday through Friday, I'm, like, busy. And then Yeah. Well, Gary I mean, we talk, you know, whenever, but, you know, it's not it's not always every week or all the time. So Right. You know, which is fine. But so, yeah. I I mean, now if if, these sun these solar storms and stuff like this, if these will quiet back down because it seems like we've been having some, solar storms now for the last couple weeks.
And it yeah. I mean, it it really tears up. It tears up all kinds of communications. I I mean, yeah, it'll it'll freaking tank them just like that. But if if those will ease up for a while and everything, then, yeah, talking around the world will be just like we're sitting right here talking. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's a lot of fun because, you know, especially if you get like Greece or Italy, In fact, Ukraine. Believe it or not, there's hams still going in, Ukraine.
[01:50:43] Bryan Goodwin:
In Ukraine? Yeah. Yeah. He keeps the Italians and say, so so I was trying to think of the name of your damn town. I was like, I don't know. It's not it's not actually Pascagoula, but it's churn now, but suppose it's not Pascagoula. So
[01:51:01] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. Well, I don't know I don't know how how how you would say Gauthier in, Italian.
[01:51:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Go shea. Say it with an Italian. I because I've been doing on Duolingo. The thing I found out, if you're struggling with science, because they have times, little tests where you try to say the word.
[01:51:25] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[01:51:26] Bryan Goodwin:
And if you try to just say the word, you're gonna a lot of times it says, nope. Nope. Try again. Or it won't recognize it unless you say it with an Italian accent. Really? So just Mario it up.
[01:51:41] Duuude-Ron :
And if you're still retired, so it's it's salve.
[01:51:45] Bryan Goodwin:
It's salve. Philadelphia. It is you know, go through, you say it with an Italian accent and and Duolingo's like going, yeah, you did good. So so it's just fun because it's like, okay. So so, you know, if you wanna actually learn how to say speak Mexican Right. Say it with a Mexican accent. You know, say instead of just saying hola, you know, you say hola, you know, you'd say you would go through it actually through it and say it like with a Mexican accent and you'll you'll you'll, you'll be a lot closer than than us gringo speaking normally.
[01:52:27] Duuude-Ron :
Really? Okay. Yeah. Okay.
[01:52:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Which is it makes sense in a very odd way. At least to me, it does. It's just like, well, okay. Yeah.
[01:52:37] Duuude-Ron :
I mean I mean, okay. Because because then, honestly, if you think about it, it's like, you know, if you talk well, then, you know, well, I agree. You know, what if you wanna learn Greek or
[01:52:47] Bryan Goodwin:
whatnot? Then you would say it with a Greek accent.
[01:52:50] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. I've only talked to a couple Greeks in in my
[01:52:55] Bryan Goodwin:
lifetime. Well, listen to listen to My Big Fat Greek Wedding and listen to how Gus talks. Okay. And this is Nick, Nick, Nicky, Nicholas, Nikolai, Nicky, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, and I am Gus. First one was amazing movie. Second one okay. It it could've been better, and I can't believe they actually decided to do a third one. So, so
[01:53:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They yeah. They just seem to keep rehashing in instead of using their minds and and thinking of something good, they just keep rehashing a lot of stuff. Yeah. And the funny thing is is they even if they try to reuse the IP, they kill it.
[01:53:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Which is sad. It's like, come on folks. I know it's scary to put your own idea out there. You might actually get booed at if you put your own idea, your own story out. But those times those people put their own stories out there, people are just like, oh my gosh. That's an amazing story. Who would've thought that, you know? And it's like Yeah. That's one reason why I like, I play video games now. It's not so much as I am a video game nerd. I do like playin' video games. But I play Red Dead Redemption 2. I play the Cyberpunk 2077.
I play all of those for the very fact that they have an incredible story. The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt, great story. Yeah. You got a lot of little extra side store side missions that are going on, which are just little side stories, little side note of the time that, you know, Geralt went off and and was trying to defeat the the Leshen. Oh, okay. You got your ass kicked for the 7th time before you might I finally got it killed, but you you get it. And that's just it it they're great stories. You know? You talk you play Cyberpunk 20 77. One of the side stories is Skippy the AI powered gun. And, you know, it's an amazing little side story. You get to learn more. There's not ever and there and there the lessons you learn from it are often very ambiguous.
There's never a real true happy ending if you get to really digging into it because you'll find little shards, other stories scattered throughout night city.
[01:55:12] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:55:13] Bryan Goodwin:
And and you start coming across, oh, this one person who's a hacker, a real known big known hacker in Night City, you you kinda follow through and you pick up more and more shards of their story. You come to find out, oh, yeah. Super hacker dude got fried by the by night watch over at, or or by NetWatch by someone. And, now you get to go figure out where they're at and pick up all their stuff and got a little more. And it's just it's a fascinating that you got all these little stories that all connect together Yeah. To form this whole giant story that is night city and cyber.
[01:55:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I say say say that's the thing. People, you know, like you said, like you said before, people are afraid that their idea will get shot down. And Yeah. Yeah. See, I, and I used to be like this and still into some degree here and there. But not everybody's gonna hate your idea. No. And, and all these people that, that you say will hate your idea, they don't matter. Right. Because they don't control what you do and how you live. So, you know, it's just like, put your idea out there. Yeah. It it could stick to high heaven, or it could be the best thing since sliced bread. Yeah. Well and I mean, that's they've
[01:56:35] Bryan Goodwin:
we can you often you know, you're you're hearing a lot of people these days saying, that the human attention span is less than the goldfish. It's something like 3 seconds long or something like that. I can believe that. No. Actually, it's not. Really? It's just that we got a lot of we have become very good at discerning. That's a bunch of bullshit story. I don't wanna waste my time watching that. And so a lot of people don't stand around and watch because they're going, oh, that's crap. That's stupid. I've seen that 75 times already on TikTok. I don't care to watch that again. And so they jump they jump off. They get bored with it because it's there's no novelty to it.
And so, yeah, I, and I'm one of those. I'll I'll, because look at this. What are we doing? We're doing a freaking 3 hour show.
[01:57:27] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:57:28] Bryan Goodwin:
You are not if you and granted, we're nowhere near Joe Rogan esque. You know? We we can't we we're not I don't even wanna try to put myself in Joe Rogan or Adam Curry, department because I know we're nowhere near that. Right. Right. Right. I mean, we've got what what's what do we have? So far, we know that whenever we doubt, whenever we put out a show, we get what? 8 listeners? Yes. So so we've got at least 6 or 8. We got well, we I think there's 8. One of 'em's you and one of 'em's me. Right. So we've yeah. Technically, we've got 6 other people who, for whatever reason, have decided, hey. I wanna listen to these guys again. And I was like, okay. Hey.
Well, alright. So amazingly, we've already got 6 people. Let's see if we can get it up to, get up to more. But, you know. Well, actually actually, before we jumped on, I checked and we were at, this morning we were at, like, 61 downloads.
[01:58:25] Duuude-Ron :
We're at 68.
[01:58:27] Bryan Goodwin:
So yeah. So we got some some they're discovering us somewhere. Yeah. And I wish that I I I I need to look and see if there's a way that we can put at least Google Analytics on, on the to onto our site so we can, so we're gonna at least start trying to figure out who's talking about us. Right. You know, is it is it Slate going, my gosh. We've got the we've got some of the worst entertainers out there. They're just talking about all sorts of offensive stuff. Because, there's gotta be somebody who's kinda talking about us or mentioning us because I don't think my my Facebook page is get, you know, or my Facebook profile is getting that much reach.
I don't know. Are you putting it out on your on your Facebook page there, Rich? No. I don't. I don't
[01:59:19] Duuude-Ron :
I don't freaking do much on on on on my Facebook page.
[01:59:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. So How about you, Ron? You put your you have you put it out on, on your Facebook page? Uh-oh. Ron fell asleep. I talked too much again. Oh, there he is.
[01:59:38] Duuude-Ron :
I was gonna say it's 9:30. This is the prenap before the bedtime. Yeah.
[01:59:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Pre nap before bedtime. That's right. Nope. I'm just a lift then.
[01:59:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But are you are you putting, are you putting, the latest episode on your on your Facebook, page at all?
[01:59:55] Unknown:
Like, as far as the, podcast? Yeah. Yeah. It's it's they're coming.
[02:00:04] Bryan Goodwin:
I get them every week. I'd Okay. But are you share are are you sharing it? Are you hitting the share button then?
[02:00:10] Unknown:
I do. Not yet.
[02:00:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You know, we could actually grow a little more if y'all shared it. You don't have don't don't add don't invite your friends to the, to the page unless they wanna join the page. Yeah. No. Just just share it. Just just share it out. Just share it. You know, every time we get a new post up there, just go ahead and hit hit share and and and throw it out there and and let, and let everyone in in your group know. Because I share actually, I take it. I share it out on the Facebook, Twitter, threads. I don't share it on Instagram.
Haven't shared it on Instagram yet, but I think I'm gonna just take the screenshot or, take the, the cover art and share it, out on the on Instagram next week. See who else do I put it out on. I do LinkedIn. I've done Pinterest a couple times. I seem to get a lot of a lot of work, a lot of help with Pinterest, which is weird. But it it it it does do a little bit of, little bit of work. If you're if you can post it up onto on the group boards, then, let's see here. I don't put any up on on LinkedIn just because it's, I mean, it's not it's LinkedIn, and we're more this is more entertainment than it is, you know, business oriented.
[02:01:30] Duuude-Ron :
But But but the thing is at the same time, executives have to laugh too.
[02:01:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Well yeah. Yeah. You know? But I I do throw it up onto on the Mastodon social. So, I've got on there. I don't share it onto, onto, on podcast index social because that's more about podcasting 2.0 stuff. So I don't wanna necessarily put my shit there. But they pivot over onto the other one, so it is there. So, Vero. Vero is another one that I've social media site for that. I I I just dump my stuff on. Vero? Vero, v e r o. K. What is that? It's it was wanting to be an Instagram, competitor. Okay. And it came out, like, 2016 ish.
And, I mean, it's actually real pretty and stuff. It's more it's got more of a dark background and stuff, so it it's not like one of those that could go white or or black. It's just always a dark background. And it's Instagram with more options. So instead of just a picture, you can throw links up. You can you can do audio, video, and things like that. So it's it's it's neat, but at the same time, not very many people are on it. So Oh, okay. But, so, yeah. There's those are the main ones I I post to. It's, from time to time, I like to tweak the liberal noses. And, there's one called tribal, which is very, very, very liberal oriented.
And so I'll or something up there just from time to time, just watch the liberals' hair catch on fire. So
[02:03:20] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, actually, I could make a zap and have the episode uploads, like, straight to Mastodon or to some of these other sites.
[02:03:31] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I mean, you can do it if you want them to do play with, Zapier, more more welcome, man. Well I don't I've got Yes. I won't. Why? I just don't. I just don't care to play with, Zapier. Well,
[02:03:44] Duuude-Ron :
well, see the thing is, it, it, it comes with hot home, and there's Zapier does? Yes. Yes. And and and because, this last episode, when I dropped it, Uh-huh. It goes to the Facebook page. It goes to the LinkedIn page automatically. I ain't gotta do nothing. And, Sid, I think here in a couple days, right now, since since I just signed up onto it, you know, I'd say I get the premium a trial of the premium, but they have a free
[02:04:25] Bryan Goodwin:
thing. And, Yeah. But the free you're only allowed like
[02:04:29] Duuude-Ron :
2 or 3 zaps. You're only allowed a very small amount. No. No. You can do as many zaps as you want. You you where you're limited is the steps. You're only allowed 2 steps. Yeah. Yeah. That's yeah. That's right. See, that's where the zaps, you can have 500. Like like, take it from, you know, take the episode from Pod Home, drop it to Mastodon.
[02:04:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Done. Yep. Now the Yeah. The steps was is what it is because I was because I would I was taking it and taking my my, my blog post, and I was having to make one step to import the all the information. A second step to actually format the the information, and then the 3rd step was actually to post it out. And so I was having to go, like, 1 or 2 steps, 2 more than what they would file Yeah. On the free. And I was just like, okay. Never mind. This this is bullshit. Because if I throw it up there, it's like the title and not even an image. You don't get the featured image because that would be that would be like the the 4th step. Once the next step, that was too many. So it's just like, okay. Never mind. Yeah. So so yes. So yeah. That's I've yeah. The episode goes straight to,
[02:05:49] Duuude-Ron :
Facebook and LinkedIn right now. Okay. So I was like, that's just cool. I had never done that. I'm like, hell yeah.
[02:06:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. It was a lot like if this, then that, I think if, if this and that was a little more
[02:06:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You see, we didn't really learn that in school. They hadn't started teaching that.
[02:06:14] Bryan Goodwin:
What the oh, and there's the site. This there's a site called if this and that, ifttt.com. And it it's it was actually the it came out before SAP.
[02:06:27] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[02:06:28] Bryan Goodwin:
And it did pretty much the same thing. I think they've gone pay also, though. At first, it was all free because they I they thought they could make a $1,000,000 off the smile somehow. So Yeah. So but anyhow oh, I was just saying, it's that they were ringing.
[02:06:46] Duuude-Ron :
So Oh, yeah. That's I was just that that's just how I I ended I ended the discussion in a weird way. Yeah. You did. Because I was like he was like, but anyhow, and I was sitting here waiting on something else. And I was like, I look up and you're just like,
[02:07:01] Bryan Goodwin:
just smiling. Smell like the dumbass I am. So Woah. So but they you did say it was 9:30? Tom, is it? It's 9:30. 45 almost. I guess we need to go ahead and start getting this bad boy all wrapped up then. Probably so. Alright. So guys, I wanna say thank y'all very much for all the, all the all the time that you were able sit here with us. This show is a value for value podcast. That means that we are we would like for you to send, send us your treasure. You can do so by either PayPal, you and we've got a link to over at our site 2 grumpy vets, and that's the the letter twogrumpy vets.com.
You've got options of being able to send, PayPal, or we can also, if you have a podcasting 2.0 compliant app, which you can get by going to, to new podcast apps. Okay. I always get that wrong. I'll I know the other one. If you can go to my site at relaxedmail.comforward /, new apps. That's one way. Oh, I know what it was. It's, podcasting2.org. Oh, yes. Actually you can you can go to go there and, put under under pot, under listeners, you can actually choose a podcasting app. You can go from True Fans to Fountain to to just about any other, there's several out there that are great, and what they do is they allow you to be able to send us boosts, and you can interact with us. You can talk with us. And we're fixing to be getting that all set up. We're finally getting through, getting our Bitcoin stuff set up so that we can actually implement the boostograms and stuff. So once we get that all set up, then awesome, great, and wonderful, you can actually start sending us, boostograms, which are little messages that will be sent directly to us, and we will then be able to, reply to them. We could even send a reply to you via via, via Boostagrams too, or you can send a stream satoshis over to us. And that's the one of the main ways. If you're not familiar with satoshis, satoshis are it's best way to look at them are they're arcade tokens.
Alright? They're tokens you just you spend some money, you get a bunch of tokens, and you can decide every minute, I'm gonna give you one satoshi or every minute, I'm gonna give you 10 satoshis. And you can stream your satoshis like that. Or you can actually boost sats. You can send us, you know, 10,000 sets and be able to, and and a message. And that is just a great way of just saying, hey, man. Thank you for the work you're doing. Thank you for all the fun you're sharing. Thank you for all the everything you're doing. If you can't or aren't able to afford the, for giving us your treasure, that's cool, man. That's alright. We're not it it helps us to be able to pay for hosting and all that, but at the same time, it's it's not it's not a requirement.
If you are have a talent, like you are a graphic designer and you would like to design our
[02:10:19] Duuude-Ron :
cover art. Cover art.
[02:10:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Episodic art, our chapter art, or just wanna throw up some, some graphics that we could put onto the, onto the post, beautiful. Send them over to us. You can send it over to [email protected]. That's circlecast, c a I r c l ecast@gmail. We're both atgmail. Send your work over to either one of us that way, and we will gladly put it up and also give you a split on your satoshi. So probably would need to have a, have a lightning wallet set up somewhere. Because, essentially, what it is is that it is we are running off of a, off a crypto. It is Bitcoin, but it's off of what's called the lightning network. So we're kinda off chain so things move a little bit faster and a little bit cheaper.
Right. But we also or if you don't have any talent, but you have some time available, maybe you can help us with, with other places, other things. And all you have to do is jump on and go, hey, man. I think it'd be really cool if we had a, had a a Facebook group. It's like, sweet, man. I'll start up a Facebook group. We'll get everybody all together. And, maybe you've got time and you would like to be a moderator. We can turn you into a moderator and you can help us out in that way. So there's a lot of ways that you can help. It's not just the the the treasure. What do you find that we've done that is of value? Up to you. No limit. You can say if you take just one satoshi's all we're worth, alright. Or if you wanna be a douchebag and say, I don't think you're worth any satoshi.
Alright. Cool. Well, you you can be a douchebag all you want. You can listen for free. Snow skin off my nose. But, you know, at the same time, if you decide somewhere down the road you wanna stop being a douchebag and you wanna start contributing to the show, awesome, man. We'd like we'll welcome you into the fold even again. We're working on coming up with ways that we can recognize those who want to contribute to us in as many ways as possible. We're working on that. We're not there yet, but as those features and those options come about, love to be able to share it with you guys. So we and or probably will share them with you. And so, guys, with that, I wanna say thanks. Rich, you have any last words you wanna give to the guys, gals that are out there on the on the show? I wanna thank the people that, that'll keep listening every week. This this will be our 4th episode, and,

[02:13:37] Unknown:
And the 2 parting word of knowledge is, as all of us being friends, if you know of a veteran or you're friends with a veteran that is struggling and having a real hard time, talk to know them. Ask them to open of what is going on in their life. We have right now, roughly 22 a day veterans that take their own because they don't feel that 1, they have any worth, and 2, they don't have anybody to talk to. If you have a veteran that is struggling, please reach out to them for a buddy check. Say, hey, you know, how you doing? And get to know and that may be one of the 22 that get saved.
Yes.
[02:14:39] Duuude-Ron :

So we're gonna have a good time. We're gonna be talking about, like I said, gender season. We're gonna be talking about, about the the Gen Z Iwo Jima (Hard R), and a bunch of other good stuff out there. So let's go ahead and let's take it off. Hey, duuude, this time, we're gonna kick it off with him since he thinks he doesn't get to talk enough. How's your week been?
[00:00:49] Unknown:
Oh, my week has been, oh, pretty busy. Got to tomorrow, when I go to work, I get to have a meeting with the safety department and everybody else because my truck while I was heading up to, north on or heading north on 35 got sideswiped.
[00:01:09] Duuude-Ron :
That's not good.
[00:01:11] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. No. No. It was a, one of those sealand van cargo containers, and the the tractor on his set up past me, he got into my lane and then clipped my mirror with the trailer. So that's been my fun, this week. So I get to have a, what do we call it? A hearing tomorrow from for the safety department. But That's okay. You
[00:01:40] Bryan Goodwin:
you get No. At least the license plate or anything on on the, on the on the guy?
[00:01:46] Unknown:
No. And the camera didn't pick up any video either.
[00:01:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, it didn't have any video?
[00:01:52] Unknown:
Not of not of the incident. The good thing about it the good thing about it was is it just pushed the mirror up forward, kinda like you hold back for your car when you're going through the, car wash. Right. And it didn't break the actual mirror. The functioning of the electrical is still good. It just knocked off the beauty piece for the front of the mirror, so now you see the cables. Oh, okay. So and you well, how many times do you get sideswiped? Do you just kinda scares the shit out of you?
[00:02:30] Bryan Goodwin:
I have slapped mirrors with, with trucks twice. So, so, yeah, scares the freaking bejesus out of you both times. So
[00:02:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It's, happened to me once, on a tight bridge. And, yeah, that
[00:02:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. One was on a tight bridge over out, south of of Midland. The other one was we were outside of oh, crap. It was outside of Canadian. Outside of Higgins, actually. We were north of Higgins, Texas. And, well, I was driving along, and this other truck, he was coming along, and we were both just a trucking well, trucking along, and all of a sudden, oh, my it scared the shit out of me. I thought the world's blowing up and all that. And I got myself, pulled over. By the time I got something myself pulled over and looked around, I couldn't see the other guy. And so I was like, oh, son of a bitch. Where did the other guy go? And, so I called up my boss and I was like, hey, Larry.
Somebody just hit my mirror and just fucked it all up. It's gone and and and all that. No. But he said, really? Where you at? And I told him to road, and he's like and nobody stopped? He's like, there's no one behind me. I'm I'm looking out looking out the the window now, and I'm not seeing anything. He's like,
[00:03:48] Unknown:
Nope. That guy I'll get back to you.
[00:03:51] Bryan Goodwin:
And got to talking and come to find out the other guy that I was was one of our drivers and we apparently were just we were driving along and where we finally when we finally got ourselves stopped because there's no shoulder where the incident happened. By the time we got ourselves stopped, we were both past the, past the hill, so we couldn't see each other. Oh. And so we were both like both thought it was, was water hauler that hit us. Come to find out, no, it was a couple of sand haulers. Damn damn sand haulers that they were.
[00:04:23] Unknown:
Yeah. So So that was that was the interesting going north.
[00:04:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. So what about going east? You know my love.
[00:04:32] Unknown:
Then coming south
[00:04:33] Bryan Goodwin:
on 35 Opposite direction.
[00:04:37] Unknown:
Just south of Waco, about a 100 feet in front of me. I'm traveling in the right lane because our vehicles are governed. Yep. And a van passes me in the center lane, and he's about a 100 feet in front of me and his passenger front tire, everything, the tie the whole 9 yards, comes off the vehicle. He's doing 70 miles an hour. Comes off the vehicle and just comes right across my path.
[00:05:14] Bryan Goodwin:
You've seen those videos of the pit of the trucks that'll go off and lose their front steer tires, haven't you?
[00:05:19] Unknown:
Yeah. The same thing. And I'm like, so I get off the gas, get on the brake because I know this guy is coming right in front of me trying to get over onto the shoulder of the road. But, yeah, just watch that tire just right in front of me. I'm like, man, I'm glad that wasn't about 10 seconds ago when he was trying to pass me when that tire came off because it woulda hit my truck.
[00:05:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
[00:05:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, you've So you've seen those ones where the pickups tires come off, or even just a car's tire comes off and it gets it gets caught underneath the the front of the, of the of a just a third, a third party car? Yeah. I saw that 1. Couple of where those cars get launched up in the air. Yep.
[00:06:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. See, I not now that that I've never seen. I did see, like Ron, I was I was going up north to Vegas and a truck passed me. And sure enough, I saw his right front tire, just I saw it flapping. I knew it's fixed to come off, and it came off. And it just I watched it go on, and he just driving down the road. I mean, he was slowing down, but he didn't move over for a little bit. He finally got stopped. Well, I was gonna say, how can you not feel when your tire
[00:06:43] Bryan Goodwin:
becomes wobbly like that?
[00:06:45] Unknown:
You know, I have no I have no idea. And if that tire would've hit me, I would've had 2 incidences in one day.
[00:06:57] Bryan Goodwin:
They probably would've fired you just because you've become a a an insurance liability. It's like, he's got objects magnet somewhere. We gotta we gotta hold it keep him in the yard for the next month and a half. So That's that's about right. I'd be like, dang. I'm just like
[00:07:13] Unknown:
a a magnet now. I was like, holy. And for both of those incidences that one going northbound, one going southbound on the same day. Are you serious? Absolutely.
[00:07:28] Duuude-Ron :

[00:08:46] Bryan Goodwin:
If you Give us a ham sandwich update.
[00:08:49] Duuude-Ron :
Well, today, it was kinda crazy because, when I looked at the numbers, when I left, they were really good. When I got to talking on the radio, well, we had a solar flare.
[00:09:05] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. So when you say you check the numbers, how do you, I mean, what are you doing? You holding a holding a thermometer out in the air or or, I I I don't understand when you say when you say check the numbers, I know what that, from talk to you. I know that we're we're you're referring to the amount of elect I guess it's electrostat is electrostatic in the air because of the therm, the therm the the solar winds?
[00:09:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, yes. It's solar. It's strictly solar. Right. You know, winds and and electricity and stuff like that. But when I checked the numbers, there's a site that I, look at. They the sun is being measured all the time. It has a, k number. And if it's, you know, if it's like a k one, everything's fine. You can tug all over the world. Right. And, this morning, it was a k one. Well, when I left, when I got out to, play in radio, it was up to a k three. And it was saying it was saying that that the surface of the sun was, unsettled.
K.
[00:10:12] Bryan Goodwin:
And So we got to watch some some really gross out, YouTube videos. It became very unsettled. Okay. Yeah. That that was Okay. Okay. So, okay, so you say it was you started out as a one, it came up to a 3. Is that on a scale of 1 to 5 or a 1 to 10 or 1 to 9. Of course. Because you keep to 10. I mean, why would that would you gotta have an odd number. I I can almost understand why you'd have an odd number because it's easy.
[00:10:41] Duuude-Ron :
But the thing is either way, when I was, you know, making these contacts, I talked to, Oregon, Kansas, or not Kansas, Colorado, Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia. I mean, it was just it was just here in the US today Okay. Like it was yesterday. But while I was operating, though, I could hear the, the hand bands going to shit. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Talk like like, talking to someone like me and you. Uh-huh. Yeah. Right now, it's clear and normal. But when I was, you know, talking with someone on the radio, they would just drop out. Their their signal would just drop out.
Something like Ron's phone. Right.
[00:11:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Ron's phone. Well, when he gets going around 10 o'clock, you're in Ron's phone. Just go say, okay. We're done. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
[00:11:44] Unknown:
Just like Ron, 10 o'clock is bedtime. 10 o'clock is bedtime, damn it. The phone is got me up. The yeah. Exactly. That's probably what it is. The phone is saying, dude, you should not be up. We're gonna quit. You need to go to bed. Right.
[00:12:01] Duuude-Ron :
But but now you see the, that's the thing. When I got done, I made, like, 15 contacts.
[00:12:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. And, And okay. Now this is just so one for me, 2 for 2 for Ron, but 3, just for all all the listeners that we have who don't have a clue as to what ham radio is. I barely I I know it is a it is, it is what will save the world when the fit hits the shame. Yeah. It will. But but at the same time, when you say you make contacts with people, are you just going tag your it type of stuff, or is it you actually having a conversation with these people? No. Most,
[00:12:40] Duuude-Ron :
sometimes sometimes it's a very short exchange. We exchange call signs, signal reports if I'm in a park, the park number or whatnot. And then other times I've had guys wanna sit and talk for a little bit and they asked me, you know, how the weather's at where, where I'm at. What's what life is like down, you know, where I'm at. Cause you know, I'm down here in Mississippi and they could be, well, if they're over across the pond, like in England or Spain or Portugal. Yeah. They've never been over here and, you know, that is interesting to them. But even here Right.
Talking to, guys here like up in Indiana, They don't know what life is like down here on the Gulf coast. So, you know, and sometimes we have long conversations.
[00:13:31] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. And so and, and I also know that you take your you take your reports and you kinda you you you up update them because you actually you're you're kinda scored on them or something like that, aren't you? Well,
[00:13:44] Duuude-Ron :
in contests, yeah, they're scored. But Okay. I've got a log that I keep and it won. I mean, I don't have to keep a log, but I like to keep a load because I've worked so many people multiple times. And, you know, as you work a multiple times, you start to get to know them a little bit. And that's that's how we make friendships a lot of times. And believe it or not, it's not just old, old farts like me and older. There's, there's a lot of young kids, females that are, that are actually, into ham radio too. So it's not just for
[00:14:23] Bryan Goodwin:
it's it's not just It's not just for a bunch of crusty old old fart to,
[00:14:29] Duuude-Ron :
Mm-mm. No, kids. In fact, there is no age limit. As long as as long as you can understand the English language, understand the concept and understand ham radio, you can take the test. And if you pass it, you're a licensed ham. The youngest licensed ham is, I believe has been 8 years old, maybe 7. So, yeah, that's,
[00:14:56] Bryan Goodwin:
yeah, there's, there's more Well, you would go off and get the take the, take the test and stuff. So just What's that? Like, if you're wanting to take it, take the test, you want to become all hamified and stuff. Right.
[00:15:09] Duuude-Ron :
Find a, look up a, a local amateur radio club and most of them do tests. And, you know, you just say, hey, I wanna take, you know, a technician test. And the test is like $14 You know, it covers the the cost of being in the test and stuff. And, I mean, I mean, the thing is, hams don't make money from from any of this. This is No. No. It's all it's all a it's all a very,
[00:15:38] Bryan Goodwin:
financially, financially, dependent hobby. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You yeah. G sounds like g sounds like jeeps. Exactly. Yeah. But Ron,
[00:15:50] Duuude-Ron :
but Ron, I will tell you ham radios are actually a little bit cheaper than Jeeps. Not by much, but a little bit cheaper. 74 and one half cent
[00:16:00] Bryan Goodwin:
difference is all it is.
[00:16:02] Unknown:
But now And now that I, and now I used to have 2 jeeps. Now I have 1. Now, Rich has the expensive hobby because not only does he have a jeep, he has a ham radio set up. Yep. And sometimes he hams with his jeep.
[00:16:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Like I did today. You get superpowers united then.
[00:16:22] Unknown:
Yeah. And it could be and it becomes a pimento sandwich.
[00:16:35] Bryan Goodwin:
See that one coming. Don't call. That was bad. That was so bad.
[00:16:39] Duuude-Ron :
Did not see that would go with dude. That was, that would rock. I mean, that would, yeah, that one. Yeah. Yeah. It didn't sit down. So Brian,
[00:16:51] Bryan Goodwin:
how about you though? Well, I've not really anything's happened to my world. I am, actually I'm sitting outside of Lubbock, Texas to this time because I've got a load of shingles that I'm taking into town. And then I'm turning around and and, bebopping on back up to the up to the casa. But, this weekend is gonna be is big one just because I'm heading over to Amarillo, to go see see kiddos and yahoos and and and stuff like that. So
[00:17:20] Unknown:
And see the newborn?
[00:17:22] Bryan Goodwin:
The semi newborn. Yeah. She's not quite, she's she's up and trotting around now or trying. She's she's the epitome of the of the toddler right now. So she's she's just getting figuring out how to how to put one foot in front of the other and and and learning to dance. So Oh, okay. That one. Yeah. That's Yeah. The little the little butt bounce thing. So That's always fun to what? Oh, heck yeah. Yeah. Just gotta get her to to start dancing to to good music as opposed to the music that her that her mom listens to. So
[00:17:59] Duuude-Ron :
What's the music her mom listens to? Oh,
[00:18:02] Bryan Goodwin:
rap and the rest of the stuff that all the kids these days listen to? Like Yeah. Yeah. I remember. But she is starting to she's starting to turn though because she was she was bitching bitching about Gina Alpha's music. She's like going, god, you can't listen to any of this music. It's horrible. It's like, congratulations, you're a parent now. Yay. She was, god a lot. I'm serious. The music's crap. He's like, yeah, it was funny. It's what we used to say about your music. He's like, I was the good stuff. It's like very little of it. It's like, I was the Taylor Swift. It's like, no, that's not music either.
That's just that's just a woman with a grudge, except to music. So but other than that, no no, I was my my week has been wonderfully boring. Just, just got, just got the truck on Monday. Have a couple of, have a couple of of of clients that I talk to on, on Monday evening. And then after that, yeah, it's just, just a day of, day of driving, and then then, talking to talking to vets on a Wednesday. And you guys on on well, talking to y'all on Wednesday Thursday.
[00:19:17] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right. Yep. Couple double helping. So Oh. So yeah. I heard from mister Garrett.
[00:19:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Hey, Tim. Yeah. I did too, actually.
[00:19:28] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, did you? Cool. Did he, did he tell you about his, interview with Delta?
[00:19:34] Bryan Goodwin:
He said he had it, and he thought he thought it went real well. I don't know if this is something we need to be talking on the,
[00:19:40] Duuude-Ron :
on the show, though. I was just saying I I was just saying that that, you know
[00:19:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, no one knows his last name. So, yeah, Garrett. Alright.
[00:19:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. I mean, no. We I'm I mean, we didn't talk about nothing. You know? You know, he was just saying that he had had his interview and that he felt it went well. So I was like, cool, man. Uh-huh. Good. Good. Good. Good. Yeah.
[00:20:03] Bryan Goodwin:
So good to hear.
[00:20:05] Duuude-Ron :
But, yeah, other than that, Yeah. I've been, yeah, I've been doing too much. Got rained on on Monday.
[00:20:14] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. We had some wind and rain.
[00:20:16] Unknown:
Yeah. We got rained on Monday, Tuesday, today, and supposed to have it tomorrow.
[00:20:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Yes. Nice. But y'all's, y'all's tailwater pits are gonna get start to get full then.
[00:20:30] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. I mean, we've had, like, the rain inches in hours type rain.
[00:20:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, wow. Okay.
[00:20:39] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. We shouldn't have a drought this year.
[00:20:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, I wonder if it's raining around, Canyon Lake then.
[00:20:46] Unknown:
I you know what? I don't know. But the storm I'm looking at that. Where's Canyon where's Canyon Lake at?
[00:20:53] Bryan Goodwin:
It is outside of New Bronzeville.
[00:20:56] Duuude-Ron :
I think a big ass storm just come down through that way.
[00:20:59] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, because I know that they have been low and back in what was it? 2022? 222 21 or 22. I think it was 22. We went down there to just go go tubing on the Guadalupe, which is it gets its water from Canyon Lake. And you could tube on it, and there's a shit way too much way too many fucking people tubing on the damn thing. But because well, and I I I remember tubing, on the Guadalupe, going to a place called Whitewater Sports and, they're in New Bronzeville. Or not New Bronzeville, but, well, essentially, it's the New Bronzeville area. And, there was still a lot of people, but there was not a lot of where you it took you 2 hours to actually get into the river.
Top of lot of people. Wow. Where they actually the entrance area used to just be one side of the, you you would actually hop out. You would walk along the walk walk along the road to the other side of the Horseshoe, and you would walk down. You may have, like, 2 or 3 people ahead of you who were throwing their tubes out, jet getting in the water and and stuff like that. And at the same time, the water then was deep enough that, you know, you couldn't just step in because you're not quite sure if you would go just neck deeper underneath the water. So you you kinda had to get yourself planned and take your take inner tube and flying it firmly in your butt, then rock kinda rock back is how we always entered.
[00:22:43] Unknown:
Right. But
[00:22:44] Bryan Goodwin:
but and there was a lot what we I what I would call a lot of people, and we would go and we'd tubal tubal out around the, the horseshoe and had a great old time. Weekends, you you, you know, you may have you'd have a lot more people, and, Thursday night and Friday would be a lot less people. We'd usually go in tube for about 3 days and become thoroughly sunburned, which was righteous. And it was but we had a you know, there was a lot of people, but you could still float around without bumping off of everybody. And now, look, in 2022, now granted, it could have been post COVID or or post COOF. Sorry. I don't know. It probably will get demonetized on, on on YouTube.
If we ever decide to get you monetized on YouTube, which I really don't care.
[00:23:37] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. I don't either. But but why would we get,
[00:23:40] Bryan Goodwin:
say a say a demonetized? Because that's one of those dangerous words.
[00:23:44] Duuude-Ron :
What? COVID?
[00:23:45] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Yeah. Yeah. COVID. Now we can say the coof. So yeah. You can't say you can't say COVID because you might be talking about, you know, like, ivermectin and how how that actually would keep people from getting, you know, that that that whole that whole little, little thing. Probably shouldn't be talking about, you know, the fact that, AstraZeneca actually went off and spilled the beans on how their, how their stuff actually wasn't, nearly as effective as they claimed.
[00:24:17] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. But That was in the news.
[00:24:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. That was in the news. But still so it was COVID, but you weren't allowed to talk about COVID during, during the flu season.
[00:24:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, you you know, well and that's like, okay. Let me ask you this, because that sheet you sent, I've I've been looking a couple of these. Like, Do you know I did not know this. Okay? The hard r,
[00:24:46] Bryan Goodwin:
dude. Yeah. I don't know what the fuck that is. I do now. I it it it I've not been looking up, but it's like hard r. It's like, what the hell is a hard r? Okay. Why is that? The, n word
[00:25:01] Duuude-Ron :
with Okay. The n word with a hard r at the end.
[00:25:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. But That's it. That that people having to stretch much more than than stretch Armstrong.
[00:25:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:25:18] Bryan Goodwin:
To get. Because no. You can you can kinda understand, you know, if someone was saying, you know, that that's a chigger. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I would almost throw I would almost understand them wanting to change the change the name of chigger to something completely different because that's too close to to a to an offensive word. Well, actually,
[00:25:41] Duuude-Ron :
Chigger, isn't it wasn't Chigurh used for a while as as for a Mexican or something years ago? I don't know.
[00:25:49] Bryan Goodwin:
I, That's the, that's the, the the s p, and it rhymes with Nick.
[00:26:01] Duuude-Ron :
Oh. Well, anyway. So Yeah. Anyhow. Anyhow. But but still either way, basically basically what it is is they are flipping out over a fucking letter
[00:26:11] Bryan Goodwin:
because it's That was the the r shop, and they had the word hard graffitied on on on a on a wall and they
[00:26:20] Duuude-Ron :
Yes. Stellar Blade is a game. So so so if you play Yep. Oh, well, and Stellar it's it's funny about Stellar Blade anyhow because
[00:26:28] Bryan Goodwin:
the the, woah, gamer industry, he hates representation of the actual model. The model who is the the person who they've the or the person that they modeled, Eve, which is the name of the character that you play as in in Stellar Blade, is a is a beautiful Korean woman. And they, one to 1, maybe accentuated her butts and her boobs a little bit. But at the same time, not as much as people would like to think. Right. And, but the fact that they actually kept her beautiful.
[00:27:22] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[00:27:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Star Wars has a new game that's coming out. And, it is I think it's supposed to be an MMO or a games as, games as a service. Okay. Kinda like, kinda like Destiny and and, those types of games. Yeah. And but the the main character if you played 1 first person player, the main character is a woman and the actual person they name They they, modeled her after is a beautiful woman. Mhmm. But now, it's she they changed her features so much that she is so androgynous. She's got this jaw that would make make Jay Leno jealous. And, I mean, just turned her into this freaking mongoloid looking looking looking being that she doesn't look anything like herself.
[00:28:18] Duuude-Ron :
Well, okay. Okay. Hang on. Hang on. This is what is, I don't get what all this about this hard or about this shit with stellar blade, about all this Walt culture, you know, basically hating on on on these people that are building these games. And Because they want basically wants them to change. And Yep. And it's like it's like, no. Because is is this woke culture paying for this? No. They're not. No. They're not. And it's it's like So so then why are people why are people then caving to that?
[00:28:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Because they have been told by the investors that you have to incorporate this crap. They are have Because they have decided to sink themselves into the discrimination, indoctrination, and, exclusion ideology, the DEI ideology of being this is this is why, Bud Light shot itself in the freaking face with with Dylan Mulvaney.
[00:29:29] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Right. But okay. Hold on here. And this this is this is what say, so so basically what you're saying, anybody who has investors is basically working a job.
[00:29:43] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, anytime you have investors, you've got to satisfy the people who invest.
[00:29:50] Duuude-Ron :
You gotta look at their interests before you look at your own. No. No. You say that you say that's why that's why I don't I don't I don't mess with nothing like that because I'm sorry. Like like, you know, if I was make you know, if if I was to make a video game, then, 1, why would I need an investor?
[00:30:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Because video games, like, triple a video games, actually cost in the general vicinity of 500 to a $100,000,000 to develop and create.
[00:30:30] Duuude-Ron :
Why is that?
[00:30:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Because it takes that much time. It takes that much manpower to to build 1 Have you ever looked at, watched the, the end credits of of, any of the current video games?
[00:30:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Actually, I have. Yeah. There's Okay. Yeah. And they take
[00:30:48] Bryan Goodwin:
they take 30, 45 minutes for all the credits to roll. Right. And so and that's the and that's why it takes that long. And these games are still they're gonna be in in development for 5 to 10 years. Right. Like, cyberpunk. They actually they rushed it. It was still and they they can't still well, made everybody mad about cyberpunk was be that it had been in development for something like 13, 14 years, and it came out as a half developed pile of crap at first. Right. It was buggy. You couldn't play for more than 10 minutes without it crashing. And, I mean, it took them another an additional 3, 4 years for it to come out and be the gorgeous, amazing, hick ass game that it is now.
Bless you. Thank you. So but but these games, a lot of them and there's a big stink going on about a company called, Sweet Baby Games or Sweet Baby Incorporated. K. And the all their job is is they are a a, a consulting firm. That's all they do. They're a consulting firm that goes in, looks at the story and tells people who they, what, who and what they need to change. The thing is, is that the main person in Sweet Baby Inc, demands that there be color corrections, is what I'm gonna call it, to the game. So that that that's the reason in, God of War Ragnarok.
Take a place. You've got a you've got Spartan, a Spartan guy named named Kratos who is from Greece, so he's a white dude, hanging out up in Norse Mythology land, which they're all a bunch of blonde haired, blue eyed, white dudes. Right. And in there, out of nowhere, one of the little assisting characters and it I mean, it fit in and they're okay. It didn't really I mean, you saw I saw exactly what it was when I first saw it, that it was essentially the token black person. Yes. And there is a little black there's a little well, she's she's a Jotunheim.
She's a Jotun, which in Greek mythology is they're the giants. And giants are just, a race. Now some of them are giants. They're Right. Huge monstrous people, but then there's some that are normal size. Right. But but say And this girl, she she was she's got is what I would call normal size. She was the same height of, of Kratos' son, Atreus. And it's just I mean, you see her and she's she comes in and, at a at a very crucial time to help him through a difficult part of his storyline.
[00:33:38] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Well But she was the cool. But this is you see, though, that's the thing, Brian. This is what I'm talking about. Why do we have to, sidestep everything like this. When, when the actual real world is not going to give a fuck, they are not going to give 2 shits about, about what someone thinks. They don't care if you're LGBTQIA L M N O P. I'd give them a damn, you know, why, whatever. They, life does not care. So we know why, why are we catering? Why why are we allowing this
[00:34:18] Bryan Goodwin:
bullshit to go on? Well, that's just it. In all reality, we're not. The the the the people who vote with their dollar bills are not. Yeah. The top one percent. Justice League, not Justice League.
[00:34:34] Unknown:
Yeah. The top one percenters.
[00:34:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Not it No. No. Not even top one percenters. The top The bottom one percent that likes this that likes this crap. They're they're they're about it, but not even the top 1%. I mean, we're talking about the majority of gamers right now. They had, suicide squad, kill the justice league came out. It was supposed to be a game as a service. I think the last I heard, there was something like a 1000 people playing right now on on Steam servers. Nobody's playing the game. It sucks balls. And it was heavily influenced by Sweet Baby Inc. It was it had a whole lot of of, you know, of the guys being there, always being rescued by the girls, always being, you know, just being a gay feminism, white men are bad, and and and all that. And it the they wanted to pound home the message.
And they pounded that message home time and time again to where people are going, dude, give us a story. That's all we want. We want a story. Give us some good story, maybe a little a little boob jiggle here and there, and we're happy. Cyberpunk 2077. 20 Cyberpunk 20 seven seven's got some really good, but it got some jiggle physics in there that are pretty good. Not as good as, dead or alive, you know, during their their that that game, I mean, they had amazing jiggle physics, but that was also several years ago back when before, for gamer gate.
And they they're calling this whole thing gamer gate 2. And it's be for the same reason, because they're trying to say that they're trying to to hold up the victim card. They're going, we're being victimized here. Everybody all these all these haters are coming out of the work woodwork trying to shut us down. Well, look at the game results. Nobody's buying anything that is made by Sweet Baby Inc. Even before they realize it's Sweet Baby Inc. Right. But there's a guy who didn't who started making a list of the games that our Sweet Baby Inc had, hands in.
And this is before it, from, like, God of War Ragnarok. It was a great game. I liked it, but, but a p you know, point out that, yeah, all of a sudden, Kratos, who was this big mean gruff dude, all of a energy in him. Right. And he could he could say, okay. Yeah. It's because he, you know, it's been several years since from, God of War 2016 or 2018. And God of War, Ragnarok came out. There was a couple years in between there. So, yeah, there was time for what they call, the event of symbol winner come about. And so there might have been some changes that happened in there. So it was, it was acceptable bend of energy, but it was also a just, just enough to where you kinda were like going, really? There's something, you know, something off on on on Kratos there. But you could quite put your finger on it. Well, you say that's the thing. You know? It's it's like it's like
[00:37:49] Duuude-Ron :
don't fuck with the good thing. Yeah. It's star wars.
[00:37:53] Bryan Goodwin:
If if it's not broke, don't fucking fix it. That's it. Yeah. And that's the problem with star wars. Star wars, they I mean, granted, yeah, the first one, it was like, oh my god. Come on, man. We're just retelling Star Wars here. And, you know, you got to the second one and all of a sudden it wasn't the death star. It was star killer and it was this basically, the death star inside of a planet. And we were like going, okay. Okay, guys. Come on. A little originality here. You know, we we've seen the story already, and then all of a sudden, they have the second movie come out, and it's, Girl Power All the Way.
I mean, you actually have, Laura Dern's character telling, telling, the guy who played, Cameron, or, Poe, you know, you mind, you do what I say. You know, she was basically dressing him down, telling him he better start listening to what women have to say. I did this whole raw raw raw feminism is good speech. And that's where's they they lost the Star Wars crowd fans.
[00:38:54] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:38:56] Bryan Goodwin:
And Kathleen Kennedy just Yeah. Mandalorian. I per It started out as a really good space western that somehow became all about, about Mando being a dad. Alright. Okay. Yeah. Well He's got baby Yoda. He he we're doing good. He accomplished what we needed to. We got baby Yoda to a to a, to a a, to a Jedi master, one of the last round. And okay. Yeah. Somewhere along the way it was young Luke. So I never I never got into Mandalorian or Grogu like like everybody else did. It well, the first season was really good. The second season was pretty good.
This, the I haven't I didn't even watch this last season. Wasn't interesting. Right. Didn't, I watched, Obi Wan Kenobi. And, and it was okay. It wasn't stupendous. It wasn't wonderful. But again, it was the the main character, the person who had the great redemption was this, again, this woman, who was at, who was a, a grand inquisitor, who was out to to be the bad guy, but all of a sudden kinda had a change of heart, became became a good person. I didn't even watch Ahsoka. I just was, like, kept kept keep watching them, and each one was getting a little worse. And, I mean, the barbell was going downhill fast.
Yeah. So you don't I never I after after, after, what was the one? The Eternals. Once the Eternals trying to figure out what this was all about, watched a lot of the series, you know, likes like, Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Okay. It's a decent it was a decent series. Not most wonderful, but okay. Decent series. Never had it. Had its problems. Then, WandaVision actually was a really neat concept. But then, you know, you took her and you walked, moved her over into, Multiverse of Madness, and you were kinda left scratching your head as, like, what's the purpose? She just brought a mountain down on her head.
[00:41:10] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. I mean Hang hang on. Hang on. Are these games or are these TV We're still talking Marvel movies now. Sorry. We're Oh, yes. See, I I know I know nothing about Marvel
[00:41:21] Bryan Goodwin:
movies. And and well, the the first the first set of Marvel, if you wanna watch all the way up up to, Civil War and, and and and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3
[00:41:32] Duuude-Ron :
I'm gonna read and send the first one. Oh,
[00:41:35] Bryan Goodwin:
dude. Watch them. They are The Those marbles, there's a reason why they were so popular. There's a reason why Disney went on head and bought them. Because they are absolutely great stories. They centered around the stories. You got wonderful character development and all. And for and start I would go go in house or go in chronological order. Okay. And just start with, you know, with, with Captain America, the first Avenger, and just, you know, just go through there. You can look it up online and go, hey, what's the, you know, what's the first, what's the chronological order for all the, all the the Marvel movies.
And once you get up to civil war, all great. After that, it kinda starts to really wane and go bad. And all the way to where yet the, the marbles, which was supposed to be Captain Marvel and, and a couple of the other, television series, Marvel characters that were introduced. And it, you know, I didn't even watch it. I wasn't even interested in watching it because I saw She Hulk, and She hulk could have been good. It was almost good, except for the fact that right off the bat, she could control her anger. She could control her, her emotions. She could control everything. Anything she did, she did better than, than, than, than Bruce.
And it was just, oh my god. No. You know? Don't no character arc whatsoever. All of a sudden, she's a badass hulk woman and and, could do everything better and was being a being a a a lawyer at the same time. Yeah. And somewhere in the middle decided to start working with, with Megan Thee Stallion, which if you don't know her, she's some R and B rapper chick who's got way too much fat deposits on in the butt. And, and it was a really bad, bad scene. Horrible scene. And it was just like, oh god. No. Let's not do this.
[00:43:44] Duuude-Ron :
Sound sounds like you have nightmares still from that scene. Well, I I
[00:43:49] Bryan Goodwin:
I I I watch Nerd Erotic, from time to time, and he does a really good job of expelling the, the expelling the, the the the the the trauma that was induced by it by watching that. Okay. So but there I mean and you could see the value of of Disney. Thanks to the the DEI, mindset and the policies that they put in. So I mean, and the because and it the the DI fits. It's, you know, it's not diversity, equity, inclusion. It it's discrimination. It's exclusion and it's indoctrination. That's what it's all about. It's it's about excluding anybody that doesn't include them. It's, about indoctrinating as many people as they possibly can. And the funny thing is is thanks thank God we have a capitalist system.
Now we've got a lot of crony capitalism going on. Right? Because I mean, if we if if it was a 100% capitalism, we wouldn't have the damn windmills and solar farms up that we have. But, you know, it is what it is. We've got a lot of cronies around. But thanks to capitalism, Disney's suffering. Disney's hurting their freaking asses off. They've dropped so much in in their in their, their their values. The people who went off made the video game, Alan Wake 2, thanks again to Sweet Baby Inc, had to shut their doors because they agreed. Okay. Well, we're gonna go ahead and do this. Now Microsoft didn't help in matters, Annie, because Microsoft's requiring that people go, actually implement and have to have some type of diversity, not counselor, but a consultant hired on.
[00:45:34] Duuude-Ron :
Really?
[00:45:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. So Yes. But I mean, it's Microsoft. It's it's they're going they're doing that. They're, you know, everybody's doing a bit about TikTok, but hell, we're not we're not look batting an eye at the fact of what what Google, Facebook, apple, any of those, any of the other big tech companies around all the data they have and that they're they're exploiting.
[00:45:56] Duuude-Ron :
I mean Oh, yeah. No.
[00:45:59] Unknown:
No. You said it. Personally, I think when they had Galaga, Centipede, Asteroids, Pac Man, I was good. Anything past that? No. Ain't I wouldn't play none of those games. Call of duty, you know, and I understand there's 100 of thousands of people that love that game.
[00:46:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, it's a fun game. I'll give you that. Oh, I can't stand it.
[00:46:28] Unknown:
I I won't play well, I'm not gonna get a PS 4, PS 5, or any of these gaming systems because I just can't stand the games.

[00:46:45] Duuude-Ron :
God. No. No. No. I
[00:46:48] Bryan Goodwin:
was just Red Dead Redemption is the freaking most awesome game. And it's not just because of the the of the of the image. The images are great. Yes. The story is incredible. It is a story about redemption.
[00:47:04] Unknown:
I've I'm I'm the type of person that's still trying to rescue the princess in Mario Brothers.

[00:47:39] Duuude-Ron :
Oh,
[00:47:41] Bryan Goodwin:
okay. Well, I never had my You do it pretty much at the end of each world. It's just that Bowser goes off, snags her, runs off again.
[00:47:48] Duuude-Ron :
So Well, yeah. So so, I mean, you don't get her. You don't end up with her. Well, you do eventually. And I mean, that's kind of the all the other Mario
[00:47:58] Bryan Goodwin:
worlds out there, I mean, like Paper Mario and Mario World and Mario RPG and all those others, you do finally get to the point where you get to actually capture, the princess. So yeah.
[00:48:11] Unknown:
Okay. Yeah. The all the only other one would be the Mario
[00:48:14] Bryan Goodwin:
go kart 1. Mario Kart. Freaking rocks, man. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. That that's probably my new Except Rainbow Road. God, that's not that that that road that track is for shit.
[00:48:31] Unknown:
That that is the furthest extent of my gaming in my life is Mario Brothers Karts. So I haven't I haven't played anything newer than that. Okay.
[00:48:48] Duuude-Ron :
Dude, you have dated yourself. You know? Oh, yeah. You know, it's you know, it's funny. People are gonna be listening to you. Dude,

If you wanna give him a PS 5, please do. We would love to get him, set up so that he can find the wonders and joys, of of Red Dead. Run around being being Arthur Morgan, back in the, back in the turn of the century.
[00:49:23] Duuude-Ron :
Cheers. Cyberpunk 2077,
[00:49:25] Bryan Goodwin:
man. Oh, that's that's a blast too. I mean, hell, it's it's one of the it I love the graphics on it. Oh, the graphics are amazing.
[00:49:33] Unknown:
Guess what I still have in my house?
[00:49:35] Bryan Goodwin:
What's that? I got a Commodore 64 somewhere down in the basement.
[00:49:39] Unknown:
Really? I got an Atari. Yeah. I got an Atari.
[00:49:42] Duuude-Ron :
An Atari, Dude. That's awesome.
[00:49:47] Unknown:
Now it it's not the one that has the individual cartridges for the games. It's newer than that, but it has all the games that Atari
[00:50:01] Bryan Goodwin:
ever came out. Oh, okay. So you have the, the the the Atari mini, the Atari classic that they gave out, several years ago then?
[00:50:10] Unknown:
Yeah. And has all the games already built into it. Right. Yeah. That's that's what I got.
[00:50:16] Bryan Goodwin:
All the all the awesome Activision's ones, like Kaboom and River Raid and Punch or not Punch. Yeah. They probably had Punch Out, but what was that other one? Second was called Knockout Knockout where it was it was Wow. It's a top down boxing game. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it was so fun because you would are, if you got a person in the corner and every time you hit the button, it, it, it, all you would see is this guy and his arms are out to the side and he would just punch up like this. But if you got a person in the ropes just right, you could sit there and just clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, and you would hit him. And the first person to get to a 101 is essentially what it is. If you get a 100 punches in before the time ran out, you were you know, you won by by knockout.
If not, then you the it was just a technical knockout on, on whoever had the highest score. But, yeah, it was so it was a blast just to just sit there and hit my sister in the corner and just. And she'd go, scream and go run off, and met crying, and I'd get yelled at by by my stepmom, told the letter, win 1. I know her for it. And then let her get almost there, and then run fight back and just, you know, you just can't help yourself. Can't help it. Dude. Just sorry. You should get, Brian, you should get your Commodore 64 out and play with him then. You have to see if I could find the damn thing again.
[00:51:43] Duuude-Ron :
That would be man, that would be awesome.
[00:51:46] Bryan Goodwin:
But
[00:51:47] Unknown:
but now there's a What was the name of I mean, what was the name of that game that I I said I liked that took you to all the planets in our solar system? What was the name of that game?
[00:51:57] Bryan Goodwin:
Gyruss.
[00:51:58] Unknown:
Gyruss. If I had the the the big box game, like, was in the in the arcades that I used to play on
[00:52:08] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh.
[00:52:09] Unknown:
I'd be doing that right now. I'd have it sitting in the corner of my living room, and I'd be spending about, oh, 6, 7 hours a day just playing that game. That would be my that would be the shit.
[00:52:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Absolutely. Alright. Tell me, can you see the screen?
[00:52:28] Unknown:
Can I see our screen?
[00:52:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Can yeah. Can you see what I've put up on the screen? Did I actually share this correctly? The only people now identify are with gender, see Okay. And then Alright. There we go. Yeah. Alright. So let's go ahead and let's get on let's get moving on this. So we've talked about mentioned gender season, which is, which is an amazing season that's among us. And as you can see on the picture, we've got someone who can't have natural hair color. So we know we you know what type of type of hijinks we're up against. We're up against people who are just a, definitely a nonconformist.
And young people are now identifying as, as gender season, as, meaning their gender changes with the time of the year. For example, I feel more masculine in the summer. Well, most guys feel feel more masculine during summer because we get summer dick, man. I mean, come on. It's it's just one of those things with, with guys. So our our we we like the fact that, summer comes along because now everything's just cold, And and things kinda air out a bit. So but anyhow, so this is what do y'all think about this? Do you, genders for the season. So during the summer, you might, feel a little more masculine. Or if you're a girl, you might feel a little more feminine in the, in the wintertime. That way, you can wear the big bulky sweaters and and be snuggly if you want to. Or did I just completely lose everybody?
No. That No. You got they they got sick and left.
[00:54:01] Unknown:
Right. This is my philosophy. Eve k. Was made for or Adam was made for Eve, not for Steve.
[00:54:12] Bryan Goodwin:
K. Okay. Got that.
[00:54:15] Unknown:
You know, anything other than that is man, woman. Anything other than that, you know, I just sorry. I don't believe in it based upon my faith.
[00:54:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Well, I love the fact that they've now got even more specific pronouns for these for these, for these, for these seasonal genders. So, like, if you're for the summer, you're known as summer. Summers are summer cell. Winter is winter winter's winter cell. Fall fall's fall self. Autumn autumn's autumn's autumn self. Yeah. They'd say they don't put a whole lot of thought into grammar,
[00:54:56] Duuude-Ron :
but, you know, it's put a whole lot of thought into any freaking stuff. I mean, come on, Brian.
[00:55:04] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, you got spring, spring, spring, self, weather, weather, self, sun, sun, sun, snow, snow, snow cell. And it's like dip dip dip shit. You know?
[00:55:19] Duuude-Ron :
I mean, how many ways can they figure out to say I'm a freaking dipshit?
[00:55:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, how many times can they reach out? They scream out and say, I wanna be as special as my mommy said I would. Because that's essentially what they're doing. They're just going, well, everybody says I'm supposed to be special, so I wanna be what I wanna be trouble. You know? You know what?
[00:55:44] Duuude-Ron :
Go be special, cupcake.
[00:55:46] Bryan Goodwin:
Just everybody does have to agree with you. Exactly. We don't if you wanna feel like you're a a a, a, a unicorn with with rhino skin, be my guest. But don't expect me to have to play along with your delusion. Exactly. No. I don't care to play pre play pretend with someone who, 1, probably doesn't even know what the original hair color is. 2, I gotta give you a hint on something. I'm not gonna buy anything you say if you have funky colored hair as it is, especially blue green. What is up with blue green and feminist? Well, I I actually, I understand. Feminists, we do y'all do know what feminism is actually. Right?
[00:56:30] Duuude-Ron :
No. I mean, yeah. I probably do, but not right after feminism.
[00:56:34] Bryan Goodwin:
If you ask a feminist, what's feminism about? They will usually say something to the lines of we want equal rights And the reason why they only say it that way is because they can't If they set the whole line they would lose 90% of the women. And what it is is they want equal rights for ugly women. If ugly women, they want equal rights for ugly women.
[00:57:01] Duuude-Ron :
What do you mean?
[00:57:02] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, okay. Look at who marries the really hot rich guys. Beautiful women. Right? No. Yeah. Well, yeah. But but 90% of the time. I I mean, there's some that Right. They they actually go after the girl's personality and and, and and so they get a girl who's kinda more more homely looking. But at the same time, who who do you when you're looking at women who are on television, who have the big, the big paying jobs on television, Katie Couric, pretty decent on the eyes. Yeah. The other major news anchors, pretty decent on the eyes. Right? Yeah. There Yeah. Okay. You're not gonna have you're not gonna have Zorgon the destroyer as a news anchor.
[00:57:54] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. No. Okay. Yeah.
[00:57:57] Bryan Goodwin:
So this is a equal rights for ugly women. The ugly women want to have access to the wealthy men. The ugly women wanna have access to the to the glamorous jobs. And to do that, they have to first get everybody okay with looking at a beautiful woman going. Yeah. You're you're you're too good looking. And the and the and the good looking women have sadly fallen in with this because they don't full tell the whole story. And so they're going, yeah. Yeah. We wanna we're feminist too. We want equal rights. Well, sorry, but they're the the ugly women's the the the the the women with short blue hair and 10,000, you know, it's got a strong enough neck because they're they got at least £5 of piercings on their face.
[00:58:50] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[00:58:51] Bryan Goodwin:
You know, it's kinda like on on, on on Pulp Fiction with Josh Boltz's character. Is that the one that's got all the shit on her face? And Eric Stoltz. The character's like, man, that's my wife. Oh, shit. Sorry. But
[00:59:09] Duuude-Ron :
but Yeah. No. But but see, that's the thing, you know, you know, it's like it's like, do you, boo, is is is my motto. Yeah. You know, if you want 5 or £10 of piercings on your face and on your body, and I'll tat it up from head to toe, rock on, go forward. I give them a damn,
[00:59:29] Bryan Goodwin:
but don't but again, don't expect everybody else to, to accept it. Exactly.
[00:59:35] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly right there because everything you do has consequences and every choice you make has consequences. And if you made that choice, you have to accept the consequences that come with it. So, so if you don't get that rich hot guy as, as a husband and you get, you know, you know, Fat Albert or something, hey, make the best of it. Right. And if you don't like it, stay single then.
[01:00:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, yeah. But at the same time, what what a lot of them don't realize is and they're again, they're trying to destroy what the definition of what beauty is. They're trying to change beauty so that again, like the games, you've got you've got they're throwing a fit about Stellar Blade because Stellar Blade has a hot chicken. And she's bites, and she's a badass. And she Right. She But but Okay. Hold on. Well well the other thing is different for everybody. Beauty is different for everybody though because I agree with that. But I'm I'm But at the same time we still have we still have an idea of what beauty is. Why do you think they're now trying to get men into beauty pageants? Why? Because one Do what? Men are pretty freaking ugly.
There again. Yeah. They put there there are men in miss universe pageant.
[01:00:59] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, get out of here.
[01:01:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Yes.
[01:01:01] Duuude-Ron :
Oh my god. See you.
[01:01:05] Bryan Goodwin:
See you. Men
[01:01:07] Unknown:
you know, and and talking about the the pretty and so on like that, you know, pretty is only skin deep. Right? But ugly goes to the bone. Right. You know, mine goes my ugly goes to the bone marrow.
[01:01:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. There we go. Miss Universe 2023, Browns, r bony Gabriel Crown's first transgender winner of Miss Netherlands. That's just that's just right. Now tell me, which one do you think is the man and which one's the woman?
[01:01:38] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. You gotta picture up? Yeah. Yeah. Look in the screen. It's the tall blonde, I think.
[01:01:44] Unknown:
The tall blonde is the is the guy. The one that's uglier in sin. Exactly.
[01:01:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Try real hard to to look feminine, but can't. Right. The one that has an Adam's apple. The one that has an Adam's apple. The one that has man men's facial feature. Yeah.
[01:02:01] Duuude-Ron :
But see, that's the thing, though. Because because I've known people, you know, skinny guys, real short skinny guys that love large women. And that is fine. That is great. I'm, you know, I'm, I am all for that. If, if Yeah. More cushioned
[01:02:16] Bryan Goodwin:
by gosh, you're all skin and bones. That's great. But at the same time, you know, we all have we but as a general rule, we do know what is beautiful.
[01:02:28] Duuude-Ron :
We've been brainwashed into thinking what is beautiful, Brian. No. No. No. No. No. We Yes, we have. Instinctually
[01:02:34] Bryan Goodwin:
know what is beautiful. Well, I mean Now the the the standard what is what society has the standards kinda changes except for the fact that that you've got the the hourglass figure is always there. It may not be 36, 24, 36.
[01:02:51] Duuude-Ron :
It may be Only 85, 48. 3.
[01:02:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, you know, that's the same time. Throw that in. But but, I mean, even if you look at the at the, in the middle age and all those and all those women, they were kinda plump. They were kinda chunky, but they weren't freaking dudes.
[01:03:11] Duuude-Ron :
Well, no. You're right. You do have a point. We had They went beauty standards.
[01:03:17] Bryan Goodwin:
These days, we look at why do why do all of us guys look at Sports Illustrated? Because our Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, we look at that because we wanna see hot chicks in wet t shirts, essentially. The keyword being hot chicks. And, yes, I say hot chicks on purpose because I know that piss is feminist stuff. I love tweaking their nose. So
[01:03:43] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I haven't I haven't looked at a Sports Illustrated now for
[01:03:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, I haven't either because I, if I'm thinking right, they've also had a transgender on their on their last, their last cover. I wouldn't doubt it. Yeah. No. Well, no. It's ESPN that owns Sports Illustrated, and and ESPN is owned by Disney. I think that's who it is. I think that's who owns Sports Illustrated. I think you're right. No. No. I'm, I I'm I'm I'm second guessing that now. But, yeah. Mhmm. But yeah. Yeah. They they wokeism actually, I think they had a had a dude on the on Sports Illustrated cover. I think it might have been in 2022 or maybe 2023.
Anyhow, they they they they've yeah. They already decided to do the do the uproar of doing having a dude on there. But, I mean, you look at anything that's done well, there's a good reason why the the phrase is go woke, go broke. Because, 1, nobody cares to have that crap shoved down their throat. 2, we know deep down in our core, even if you are most liberal of of of liberals, you'd know deep down in your core that's a line of hooey. You're just trying to swallow it because it'll makes you look in. It's in in, in the know. It's kinda like, you know, in the eighties, the end disease at that time was being lactose intolerant.
In the nineties, it was peanut butter. In the 2000, it was other nut allergies. 2010 was was, was, was anxiety disorder. And the 2000, it's kind of a combination of is there's a couple of them, but duking it out right now. It's one's, gender dysphoria, and the other is is narcissism. And, there's a couple others that I've I've seen they poke their head up for a second and go, never mind. I'm out of here. And they get dismissed. But but no. And they're they're fads. They're just bad diseases to make you feel like you're, you know, feel like you're you're in in on the, on the crowd, but at the same time, it's just like, jeez.
No.
[01:05:55] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. No. That is. Yeah, seeing this this is a shit that just irks me off a lot of times.
[01:06:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, there we go. Okay. Yep. Yep. I'm on the editor. So we don't have to look at his face anymore. Well,
[01:06:12] Duuude-Ron :
yeah, Ron or, Brian, when when you brought that up, for some reason, my Zoom dropped out and came back. I don't remember. Yeah. I yeah. It had to be set in my mind. I don't know what, but yeah. Because my Zoom shut down and, came right back up. Because at first, when you said, can you see my screen? And Ron's like, yeah. I can see it. And I'm thinking, guys,
[01:06:41] Bryan Goodwin:
I I can hear you, but I don't, you know, I'm sitting here thinking, yeah. Hey, you were still up. You were I still I still saw you and stuff. Yeah.
[01:06:48] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, wow. I couldn't see nothing over here. And then, and then it went down and back up and here I am.
[01:06:56] Bryan Goodwin:
So but no. That's it's this it's just it's interesting how, again, it's a lot of it is starting out in in the grade school areas where they're, you know, they're talking to, you know, 1st graders about about assorted things, but it's it I still am I'm almost well, not almost. I am in the same line of thought that a lot of people, think that the woke that's happening in the schools is more for the the pervs and the and and not just not just not gay people as how we used to refer to them as being, pervy. Because that it's not that. It's the guys who who are who get their rocks off talking to little kids about sex.
I that's closer to what they really what I think a lot a lot of what, the quote unquote woke stuff is about in in school. Because, I mean, they threw a big bit about the fact that you we were the the more sane adults were trying to get these very sexually explicit books. And I'm and there's books in the library that have explicit scenes in them. Right. But, I mean, when you have drawings, when they're picture books, essentially, of guys, you know, playing with themselves, guys slurping on each other's, each other's linguine, and and doing other assorted items like that, that's where where we I I go, yeah. Sorry, dude. Now I know you're getting your rocks off thinking that you can talk to talk sex to a to a, to a 7 year old, and you you think that's, you know, that gets you all hot and bothered.
But that's the reason why as parents throw a fit about it. That's why we want to want to just take you take you, throw you out in the middle of of nowhere and let you try to figure out how to get home. But but say but say again
[01:09:09] Duuude-Ron :
again, the school administrators are freaking allowing it.
[01:09:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. No. The and well, there's a lot of them that are. There's a lot that are not. But you and a lot of them, like, here in Oklahoma, a lot of you talk to the teacher unions and the teacher unions hate Ryan Walters, who is our, state superintendent at for Oklahoma.
[01:09:32] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:09:32] Bryan Goodwin:
And he has made huge steps denying woke ideology being able to be taught in school. Okay. Well, cool. And they get to and they they screech and holler and whine and cry and bitch and moan and groan and throw throw little temper tantrums over the fact that they can't do what they wanna do. And you will see see these teachers from time to time going, well, I know what what Ryan Walters claims, but it doesn't mean I'm not gonna stop. And then all of a sudden and you'll see them, you know, celebrating, showing their their their school, their their classroom in, on TikTok.
And then 3 days later, after the parents and and the folks on the Internet go, I don't know who that is. I know that they're over in such such school over in, so and so Oklahoma. And then next thing you know, 4 days later, they're getting fired. Now they're standing around going, oh, no. It's not good. We just But but but but
[01:10:31] Duuude-Ron :
hold it. Hold it. That's just one state. We've got 49 others.
[01:10:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And Yeah. Florida's doing a pretty damn good job of it. Texas? It's, it's, it there's places in Texas that are doing good, and there's places in Texas that. We Right. And and roof is a lot of Austin. A lot of Dallas, a lot of, a lot of, of Houston. San Antonio's get get pretty bad.
[01:11:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. See see, that's where see, that's where, you know, you know, a lot of people think, oh, we can't do this. All of, all of these school board people are elected. Yeah. They're all freaking elected. So, yeah, it's very simple today. It's called
[01:11:20] Bryan Goodwin:
vote. Yeah. And that's, that a lot of them have done that. Moms for Liberty. Vote. Yeah. Moms for Liberty has kicked a lot. But the problem that you also run into is a lot of these school board, these very woke liberal school board members are funded by Soros, money.
[01:11:40] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, I don't doubt it. But still, I mean, I mean, as as long as you can get enough people to get on the same page, which I know that's a challenge.
[01:11:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. And they but the funny thing is is they're very actions. Yeah. And they're very and the very actions that they're doing, especially during when the parents were really throwing a big fit about this, like, over in, where is that, over in Virginia, the the main school district that most of the senators' children go to.
[01:12:12] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, I I can't think of the name of it, but I I've heard about it. Is it Broward County?
[01:12:18] Bryan Goodwin:
I think it's Broward. Broward. Broward. Broward. But at the same time, I'm going, no. That's Florida.
[01:12:25] Unknown:
Ryan, what was you gonna say? Yeah. It starts with it it starts with an f. An f? That that names, that names county starts with an f if I'm not mistaken.
[01:12:36] Duuude-Ron :
Fairfax?
[01:12:37] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Not Yeah. No. No. And it's not Fairfax. I think it starts with a b, but, let's see here. Let's look here because it was, it's same school district that actually sicked, that got the, the FBI, the justice department to go after the parents, calling them, terrorists.
[01:12:59] Duuude-Ron :
I wanna say that. Parents
[01:13:02] Bryan Goodwin:
are terrorists. So weird. Well, I tell you, this is high quality, AG's, Paxton sues Biden administration for silencing prayer. Parents labeling them as terrorists. This is back in 2022. Oh, that's Ken Paxton again. That's good old state of, of, of Texas. And, let's see here. Done. Can anyone else This here, October 8, 2021, is saying,
[01:13:29] Duuude-Ron :
the, is it was in the Fairfax Times, and that's, in Fairfax County, Virginia.
[01:13:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. That might be it is that, that, that,
[01:13:40] Duuude-Ron :
the US, attorney general Merrick Garland, was, yeah, trying to get the, FBI against the parents Yeah. In the home, the school board members deemed threatening.
[01:13:54] Bryan Goodwin:
And you see, there again, this is where That's the that's the key. Deemed threatening. What does Right. Deemed threatening mean? Well, they didn't like him, so, yeah. They Yeah. So they deemed that a threat. Through their is it a threat to their ideology or that threat to their physical being? And when did somebody there actually act, act threatening towards, towards them? I mean, a whole lot of different lines
[01:14:20] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I mean, well, well, yeah. But but yeah. They say, you know, they'd say something about, oh, your speech offended me or whatnot. And you see, this is what I'm talking about. This is rampant across across the nation.
[01:14:34] Bryan Goodwin:
And Yeah. Yeah. Words are violence. Yeah. No. Words are just vibration shaped by your tongue and mouth. That's all they are. Yeah. You think that you think they got power? Crucio, you know, see if you can cast Crucio curse upon them. All of a sudden, you're not seeing them writhing in pain for some reason. Why why is that? Oh, because words don't have power. Now they did can they can carry an effect if you agree with them. Right. But that's the key. You have to actually agree with what the person's saying for it to have, to have any effect.
You're an ugly bastard. Yeah. I'm an ugly bastard. Well, fuck you. How did you know that I'm an ugly bastard? I, you know, and they're gonna get mad because people are because deep down, you agree with the with the words that were cast. Right. So that's words don't have power. Words aren't violent. Yeah. You take the word, you take that vibration and you interpret it to mean something in particular.
[01:15:39] Duuude-Ron :
Well, true. But you see, this is the way all of us were raised. And this is why this is why a lot of a lot of the people out here can't handle a lot of this stuff because they don't know how to process. They think, they think the way they were raised is, is the way life life should be. Right. You know? And, and it doesn't matter how old you are. I I don't care if you're 85 or 15. Oh, my mommy and daddy raised me this way. This is the only way I can be. No. There's a whole world out there. You just have to you just have to open your mind. And and that's the hardest job right there is trying to get your mind in sync with where you wanna go. Because believe me, your mind wants to go elsewhere.
I promise you. Yep.
[01:16:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Now let's go to it and let's change over to a new topic, still in the same field. We're still talking schools, but we're gonna talk about gen z's moment in the sun. They they're they're Iwo Jima. The moment that came about, thanks to all of the communist rap bastards that are going to school these days. Growing up, being taught how to hate the USA, how to hate what they're stand stand for. But in the midst of all that betrayal, hate, piss, vinegar, multicolored confusion, gender confusion that they have, There is a group of of fraternity brothers Pi kappa phi. From the Pi kappa phi. And they decided to stand up and protect the US flag.
So so, Rich, you got a little bit of, a little bit of information on that. And what we'll do is I'll let you I'll let you talk about it, and then I'm going to read their GoFundMe page, which is just amazing.
[01:17:44] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's in and, it's it's actually gone up almost $20,000 since we started our conversation at 7.
[01:17:54] Bryan Goodwin:
It is awesome. Second.
[01:17:56] Duuude-Ron :
But yeah. No. No. Basically, what it is is, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
[01:18:07] Bryan Goodwin:
They What was that, Ron?
[01:18:09] Unknown:
No. Yeah. Yeah. Chapel Hill. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. We're good. Yeah. They,
[01:18:15] Duuude-Ron :
well, they've been protesting now for past couple weeks. And, basically it's all the woke woke, woke, woke liberal kids that, believe, Palestine, you know, the whole Israel Palestine thing is just, you know, freaking atrocious, you know, it's like, I'm sorry, but there's been other wars and skirmishes that are worse. But I digress on that. But the students here took down the American flag and put up the Palestinian flag because these Americans I didn't know my phone was gonna do that.
[01:18:54] Bryan Goodwin:
But these American people Good timing though. It's like, hey. That's not cool. Don't do that.
[01:19:02] Duuude-Ron :
It's actually pretty cool. But no, honestly, these Marquise time. These, these are freaking kids. American kids are are so in love. They think with Palestine and, they think, oh, we need to save Palestine. And they took the American flag down and put the Palestinian flag up. And the dean of Chapel Hill said, oh, hell no. He went out, took the flag down and, put the American flag back up. Well, apparently these kids didn't get to hint. These woke liberal kids didn't get to hint, and they come and took it down again and put the Palestinian flag up. Well, the, Dean came back out, took it down in, the second time when he put it up the, I kappa phi fraternity got up under it, made sure the flag would not touch the ground and just stood there smiling at all these woke liberal kids, when they were
[01:20:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Call me bastards. That's what they are.
[01:20:15] Duuude-Ron :
When they were throwing rocks and hurling insults, you know, you know, it's funny. They wanna save Palestine and all like this, but, and, and these, these brothers of, of this fraternity was, defending the American flag. And yet these people were hating on them. It's like, it's like, I don't get it, you know, but yeah. And so they started a GoFundMe page and they, say John it says John Noonan, organized a fundraiser on behalf of Susan Ralston for the GoFundMe.
[01:20:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. And what they'd put in there was absolutely epic. And I wish I had someone humming glory, glory, hallelujah in the background mhmm, mhmm, mhmm. But because and have someone with the drums just softly planned because it reads like this. Commie losers across the country have invaded college campuses to make dumb demands of weak university administrators. But amidst the chaos, the screaming, the antisemitism, the hatred of faith and flags stood a platoon of American heroes, armed armed and Vineyard Vines and Patagonia fueled by zen and white claws. These triumphant brohemians protected, oh, glory from the unwashed Marxist horde.
Laughing at their shrieks and wails and shielded the stars to stripes from Soviet missiles. These boys, no men of the UNC Chapel Hill, pi kappa 5, gave the best to to America, and now they deserve the best as this. So help raise funds to throw off this frat par frat the party they deserve. A party worth the boats, boat shoe bro proletariat who did their country proud. And so and I I would like I said, I would love if we could find, maybe post production in there, find someone do just humming the glory, glory, or just playing the drums and just some music of the glory, glory, hallelujah.
Yeah. Okay. Duh. You know? So because, every time I read through that while I'm here, it is just a So but I mean, that's just great that these guys were willing to stand up. And they're and that's gonna be our, that's that's, that's our show to a title. The boat shooed proletariat. Love that phrase. The boat shooed proletariat.
[01:23:05] Duuude-Ron :
How do you spell that? BR0leteriat. Oh, okay. Hang on. Hang on. Spell that second word again.
[01:23:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Let's it's bravo, Romeo, Oscar, Lima, echo, tango, echo, Romeo, India, alpha tango.
[01:23:30] Duuude-Ron :
Thank you. Same. Perfect copy. I I I I'm I can't I can't do it any other way. If you spell something to me,
[01:23:42] Unknown:
do it right. Peneticly, please. Yes, please. Because
[01:23:45] Duuude-Ron :
I for some my brain has a hard time, you know. If you spell it out, if you spell it It's not the phonetic alphabet. Right? If it's You said here. If it's not phonetic,
[01:23:58] Bryan Goodwin:
I, it ain't nothing.
[01:24:00] Duuude-Ron :
No, I, I, I just, I just can't do it. You know? Yeah. I mean, that was that was perfect copy. I love that. And, you know, here here's here's my
[01:24:11] Unknown:
take on it. Okay. If you want if you want to if they want the Palestinian flag to fly, They are more than invited to move
[01:24:25] Bryan Goodwin:
to
[01:24:27] Unknown:
Palestine, join their military, and fight.
[01:24:33] Bryan Goodwin:
But that would not help change the US into a very pro Palestinian environment. They're wanting to change America. They don't give a shit about pal well, then Palestine itself. They they're not that's not their end goal. Well, no. Care about about that. They don't even actually even wanna fight. It's kinda, again,
[01:24:54] Duuude-Ron :
too hard to back the video game. They want they want all of us to bend down and kiss Amasa's ass.
[01:25:00] Bryan Goodwin:
They they wanna they wanna change us to to their line of thinking. But and is because like I said, to harken back to the games, you have people like, I was kinda, kinda briefly was mentioning it. Warhammer 40 k is a tabletop role playing game. And they're known for having these massive The, well, I can say massive, but then I'm fixing to say miniatures. They got little miniature armies that you can make, that you can sit there and paint. That's part of the fun of it is you can paint these little little miniatures and make these massive armies that you pit against other people.
And they the the company that owns 40, Warhammer 40 k is, Games Workshop. And they're fixing to through, through Amazon, do a television series, which is gonna turn out being probably just as freaking bad as as the rings of power. And, what was the other, Well, the the fallout is is they're they're kinda they kinda hard pull back a bit on the on the wokeism on on, on Fallout. But at the same time, Fallout's main character again was this was not somebody who they would have send out into the, into the the the wastelands, which was a girl.
[01:26:25] Duuude-Ron :
So they completely Actually, I've got fallout 4 on on my PS 5.
[01:26:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Fallout 4. I mean, that game last you'll be playing that for 3 hour or 300 hours easily. But it's doubt it. But it's you the the game itself, you, you know, you've got you've got, all the, the aspects and the lore about, about Fallout. And they changed some of the lore. Well, they changed the lore on warhammer 40 ks also to where one of the, there's a there's a faction that is called, oh, shit. What is it? The Adept Custodians. And essentially, the way that it started out being is it was an all handpicked, all male group that protected the the the god king, the the emperor of mankind is, I think, what they called it. I don't play warhammer.
But I've I've just heard a couple of people who are really passionate about it get in because Henry Cavill was talking about being in this Warhammer 40 k series because he got tired of the wolf. Superman. Man of steel, Superman.
[01:27:38] Duuude-Ron :
I thought that was Christopher Reeves. No. No. No. That's Superman.
[01:27:42] Bryan Goodwin:
That's 1980. This is the 2,000 something. Henry Cavill Henry Cavill, good dude. He's a super nerd. He'll he plays k. He he's a super nerd, but he's he's a he's a movie star also. I mean, I mean, Superman I I mean I mean, the last Superman I knew was Christopher Reeves. Okay? That'd be Okay. Now they, because you had Dean Cain from Smallville. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Dean Cain. And then after him knew him. The the latest Superman they came out with, which actually had, general Zod and and all them, all the bad guys from the original Superman, they they restarted them out like that. So they had, the Okay.
Oh, who was, Khalil? Crow. Russell Crow? Russell Crow. Yeah. Thank you. I kept trying to say Cameron Crow. I'm like, no. Who's the fuck is Cameron Crow? But, yeah. Russell Crowe was was Superman's dad. And then, Superman they have Superman come down and they they had, they had general Zod and and and all of them. They all came down and they were they were fighting and all that. But Henry Cavill was the, was the Superman. He was also the guy who played, Geralt in, The Witcher. If you watch The Witcher series on on, oh, come on, man. There's some good looking boobies on on The Witcher series on on Netflix. I've never heard of The Witcher. So I have missed out on the boobies. I am standing out in the middle of nowhere screaming into the nothing. All the awesome.
Anyhow, Netflix. Netflix, go go look up Watch the first, 1st season. 1st season was good. 2nd season, I didn't watch the 3rd season. Because, again, they they just kept going worse and worse and worse. And Henry Cavill was like going, dude, this this has gotten stupid. Because the witcher, Gerald, or Geralt, not Gerald. Geralt was a, is this superhuman monster hunter is the best way to call it. He is a Okay. He is, he is a essentially a mutant or a mutated human who goes out and is able to fight ghosts and and, Leshens and all these other mythical monsters out there. And he uses a combination of magic and special swords and things like that.
But he's a badass dude. He's the based on a, think a Swedish author's, set of stories. And Okay. He's got, like, 5 I think 5, 6 books out. He's got a few several books out. But they've also got several video games out about The Witcher. There's The Witcher, The Witcher 2. The Witcher 3 is the one that you can actually play these days on, PlayStation 5, which is called the Wild Hunt. And it's very good game. Very good. They, done by the same people who did, Cyberpunk 2077. And pretty much had the same line of of of problems too. They started out it was just a flaming turd.
[01:30:55] Unknown:
Right.
[01:30:56] Bryan Goodwin:
And they worked on it and worked on it and worked on it and polished that turd up until it became a really wonderful game. So you can actually polish a turd.
[01:31:09] Duuude-Ron :
So, but you're, but anyhow, I am, I am so glad. I am so glad to know that. Yes. Because I've I've tried for years and it's never worked. Yeah. I I I've tried too and I just get really smelly fingers. It's terrible.
[01:31:23] Unknown:
So You know, I've polished jump boots. I've polished a rock, but I have never attempted to polish a turd.
[01:31:32] Bryan Goodwin:
It helps if you spray paint it gold first. It's just to let you know. Because we have had the one of the one of the, joke, words we used to give give out, in in school was was, the golden the golden cow pie. And it was we'd go out to some farmer's, pasture and find a dried up cow turd, and they would take it home, put spray paint the shit out of well, we spray paint the the shit and until it was just, you know, bright and shiny and and stuff, and we glued it to a board, and then we had a we decorated it up, and, yeah, yeah, it was the, it was the Golden Terrace award.
[01:32:12] Duuude-Ron :
So
[01:32:16] Bryan Goodwin:
Wow. Wow.
[01:32:18] Duuude-Ron :
Hey. Hey. At least,
[01:32:20] Bryan Goodwin:
yeah, at least at at least we knew how to have fun back in the day. Hell, hell, yeah. We did it was it was proper to take the piss out of each other from time to time. Right. So, I mean, that we I was I was in it's still I went to school and you still were able to have initiations for the freshmen.
[01:32:40] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, really?
[01:32:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I mean, it wasn't it wasn't a it wasn't a big thing, but, yeah. They the, the seniors would come by and pick up all the, all the freshmen and then proceed to completely humiliate them. Oh, wow. Yeah. No. See, And, it was something where the whole town would get to, go out and get, and and partake in it. And and they were the seniors would it was centered around. It there was one little point where it got a little carried away. They were try they decided to have, have the freshman, it was supposed to be mud wrestling, except it was mud wrestling and and and hogshit.
And so Oh. Yeah. Yeah. And so after that, when parents were like, alright. We're gonna calm this way the fuck down. You know?
[01:33:32] Duuude-Ron :
That's the thing. Mud wrestling. Okay. But, yeah, not not Yeah. Yeah. They or Yeah. It was all hogshit. So Yeah. No. That's just, yeah, that's just rough. I don't I don't care who you are. That's just rough.
[01:33:45] Bryan Goodwin:
You know, and that But that was proper initiation. So hang on, Ron. Right. Ron. Yeah. Ron. Go ahead, Ron. You know, yeah. Proper initiation.
[01:33:55] Unknown:
It was all for the fun of the event. Nobody was getting harassed. Nobody was getting demoralized. It was out to have a fun time. It was just a rite of passage.
[01:34:16] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. That's the keyword right there. And I think that is something all young men actually need to have and do not have enough of these days is an actual right of passage. They need to be taken out. Be tested because And I mean, everybody It's not it's not a bad thing. Yet, sometimes it gets carried away and that's when it gets to be a a be a problem. But at the same time, us men have to test the newcomers to go, can we trust your ass? Are you gonna bail on us when the time gets tough? Are you gonna stick there and stand beside us through thick and thin?
If you can No. Handle the the guff, if you can handle the the smack talk, if you can handle the the the, you know, the chilelis across your ass a couple times, welcome to the club. You're gonna be a brother in arms for the rest of your life. Well, and this is why Right. Exactly. This is why this is why us vets get along with each other so well. Exactly. I mean, hell. Wait. Did the navy had an initiate. I went through initiation to become a shell back, which is when you cross from the across the equator. Mhmm. Yep. There is a ceremony. You have it's called walk day, that day, and then you go through a essentially it's an obstacle course. Eventually you have to eat it, you have to take a cherry out of the fattest guy on on deck's belly button.
And, it and it it's a there's a lot of humiliation, but at the same time, at the end, you get this you get to be able to say, I am a shellback. Or in my case, I get to I got the the honor of saying, I am a golden shellback because I crossed at the international date line and the equator.
[01:36:06] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, wow. That's cool. Okay. So,
[01:36:09] Bryan Goodwin:
there's very even fewer of the diamond shellbacks because you have to go out of your way to go to to to 0, 0 degrees latitude, 0 degrees longitude. That that makes you a dime a diamond shellback, and there's even fewer of those. But yeah. Yeah. We got got a, golden shell back and yeah. It was now they don't do it as hard as go as hard as what they used to. They used to actually go off and soak fire hoses in, in salt water and really build up the crust on it. Mhmm. And that was where the chilets they would whoop you with. Oh, wow. So, I mean, they, they don't do that anymore, but, and you don't actually have to crawl on your on your hands and knees on the non skid anymore, which is thank God. I've I've I've I've still got still got a little little scar right here on the bottom of my hand from, from from that, from non skid whenever I just tripped over the, over the binding chains that held the held the planes in place in the, in the in the hangar bay. So
[01:37:13] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, that's man.
[01:37:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. No. That shit was mean.
[01:37:17] Duuude-Ron :
But, yeah, no. It's I agree. I agree. But you say that's the thing. You know, a lot of people, you know, they just, they freaking graduate high school or college and, and they expect to be seen as, as a fully fledged, well rounded person. And it's like dude, or do that. You're, yeah. Just got started.
[01:37:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You haven't shown, you haven't proven your medal yet.
[01:37:50] Unknown:
Right. You have to you have to earn that right.
[01:37:55] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. Oh, yeah. No. Most of these kids nowadays, they freaking demand, you know, demand it. And this is why the, hence, this is why they're rioting it at at these colleges because they're not getting recognized. They're white. Yeah. Yeah. They're just, yeah. Basically throwing a temper tantrum on the floor.
[01:38:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And that's there. I've had several, TikTok spats with, with with folks who were like like Mhmm. There was one where there's a a fairly she looked like she's probably 23, 24, fairly young gal who had gone through and earned 2 degrees. And she was complaining about the fact that she cannot get a job that pays her a $100,000. And it's like, yeah. Don't you don't you don't because you've just got degrees. You've got pieces of paper. That paper doesn't mean shit. That paper does not tell just means that you went off and you talked to the government into backing your dumbass move for spending $200. Yep.
And you're the dumbass who thought, hey, I can get 2 degrees on
[01:39:09] Duuude-Ron :
God only knows what it is. Well, that's fine. That's fine. Yeah. Have 4 degrees. I give nay damn, but if you have, you still have to experience You're gonna have to experience.
[01:39:20] Bryan Goodwin:
You're still starting out at $30,000. Right? You don't have to. I mean, that's starting out a lot more than what I started out at. I didn't make $30,000 until I was 35.
[01:39:29] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:39:30] Unknown:
And and which one in the long run is gonna pay you more money? Well, not more money. It might. Having 2 colleges having 2 college degrees or have gone through the school of hard knock?
[01:39:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, it real again, it depends. If they got if this girl got any, either one of her degrees was one that allowed her to become licensed and that had a skill that that came from it. So like an accountant, a doctor, a lawyer, then, yeah, she's still gotta work her way up to a $100 and she'll make more than than, you know, truck driver dude who didn't go to college. Me. You're going you still, you know, you're she's gonna make more in that way. But if she went in for women's studies and puppetry, no. You ain't gonna get paid $30,000 at the height.
Okay. But She she got the she had to learn she's going to learn through the school of hard knocks that, oh, women's gender studies is a worthless degree. I just spent a $150,000 on shit.
[01:40:47] Duuude-Ron :
Right? Yeah. But the thing is, what's the big deal about earning a $100,000? Because
[01:40:54] Bryan Goodwin:
these days? Well, you've you've seen the housing market. You're trying to find a house down in, down in Mississippi. Right. One and and there's no dig on the state but at the same time, it is one of the most impoverished states in the union. Yes. It is. And so you would think the cost of housing there would be a lot cheaper than it is. But no. You still are having to look for to buy a house. You're still chilling out 6 figures.
[01:41:19] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I I I do have a line on one that's only 5 figures.
[01:41:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, there you go. Yeah. High five figures, I'm sure.
[01:41:30] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[01:41:31] Bryan Goodwin:
High high five figure, but Hey, it's 5 figures. Okay. Yeah. Well, in Texas, Jan, my wife is looking for, for houses down around the Hamilton area. We're finding $100,000 single wide trailer houses. Yep. Yeah. It's a freaking trailer house. I mean, come on. You can buy the damn thing for under a $100,000 and the rest of them would be moving it to the damn new property. It's like, Jesus. It's not even a double, what? Come on. It's not modular homes. Oh, dude. Buying the house and you're go paying a $100,000 and you're instantly in the per you're you've lost half your value. Oh, yeah. Trailer houses are like cars. They lose their value as time goes on. Well, the thing is trailer houses have a car title.
[01:42:21] Duuude-Ron :
Believe it or not, they
[01:42:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Do they really? Yes. That would make sense since they have have wheels. You know? My mom my mom had one years ago. And, yeah. It's her shift. They it has a heart. So every year you have to register because,
[01:42:41] Duuude-Ron :
you know, I I never owned 1, but, yeah, I know. I mean, I don't know how it worked because, you know, I, I never owned 1, but yeah, I'm just saying, yeah, they, they have a car title and not a, house title or mortgage or deed or whatever. Yeah. It's crazy.
[01:42:56] Bryan Goodwin:
But yeah. I mean, it's like, okay. I get it. And we found some that are fairly, we found some areas that are a little bit cheaper, but they're, you know, you gotta, you've, you have to make a $100,000 these days just to be able to buy a house.
[01:43:12] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you, you say, no, you see, Brian, actually you don't because you can use the VA home loan benefit,
[01:43:20] Bryan Goodwin:
but to still be able to pay it off in 30 years, that payback, that amount of money, it's gonna be $15, $2,000 a month. No. Well, I, and, and I am, I am of the rule of thumb. I was raised with the rule of thumb. Your house
[01:43:37] Duuude-Ron :
does not take up more than 25% of your take home pay. Right. I get it. No, I know. That's I get it. And that's fine. But check this out. I just got a, approved for a $150,000. Right? Right. Payments on that is only 1200 a month.
[01:43:55] Bryan Goodwin:
And my house is house payment, which is, I mean, I've I've still I'm I'm I'll I'll take the I'm a fucking moron. But I've got an adjustable rate. I've got an arm on mine. No. Yeah. Yeah. So it's gone up. It's been going up. But at the same time, I'm still only paying 600 grand or 600 grand 600,
[01:44:18] Duuude-Ron :
$600
[01:44:20] Bryan Goodwin:
600 Stuck on the 1,000. I'm key. I keep trying to because, I mean, my house is only $60,000.
[01:44:26] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:44:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Of course, I did buy it 20 almost 30 almost 20 years ago. Yeah. We're coming up on 20 years next year.
[01:44:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I would yeah. I would try I would try and pay that off as soon as I can, get out from there.
[01:44:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Or I would like to, but but there's other factors that are keeping that from happening.
[01:44:45] Duuude-Ron :
So Okay. Well, either way, it just that
[01:44:49] Bryan Goodwin:
that I can Now if I can ever talk any of the any of our our esteemed listeners, if y'all wanna wants, to, to help me out and y'all would like to improve yourself at the same time, I do ho have a, a coaching package that, that will do you just fine. So but, yeah, I'm still trying to get if I can if I could and that's my big struggle is just getting that that coaching business going. Right. Once I could once I can get past the the stutter of of getting doing the ask, and I've actually this weekend or this weekend, this week, we're still still in the week, I came up, I I came up with a game plan that I I am now actually implementing.
Because because if I use what is the the prosperous coach meant, which is I'm not so much going up knocking on doors. I'm not cold calling people, so much as I am going to them and giving them an offer. Or not even an offer. I'm just, because I can do the free. I've got the free down, because I was able to fill up my free package, in in just a couple weeks. It was just boom. Yeah. Alright. Sweet. Got 5 people off the bat. I was like, this is awesome. Until I tried to do the $300 one night, I was like, you know, it's been stumbling for the past 2 months. Right.
So the the the prosperous coach method talks about contact. Connect with the person. Connect with the person. Connect with the person. Do that over and over. Just keep connecting with them. And eventually, not even eventually, like, the 3rd connection, you make an out you make an ask. So what I've started doing is I've started just saying, hey, I am out to do 50 coaching sessions. Mhmm. If you would like to have one, hit me up. We're we'll we'll do we'll do an hour long coaching, and that's all there is. And we'll if you wanna have another one, we'll set that up at a later date. You know? That that kind of rough eye rough area of what I I'm saying. There's a good bit more. I've got a little sales deal that I kinda scraped together. Right. And so what I'm doing is I'm just starting at the a's on my on my Facebook group or Facebook page, and my friends starting with the a's is just boom.
Boom. Trying to send out at least 2 a night. I can send out more, but right now, I'm just doing 2 just so that I can say I've done. Right. So I've done it. I've So I've sent out 4. I haven't gotten No. The nights yet, but, I've done 4. So we're gonna see how this works. See if I can get some, get some extra coaching going in, possibly fill up, my Tuesdays and maybe, what's left of of Saturdays. And and maybe do some on Friday evening, but I really actually don't wanna do Friday evenings because that's typically whenever I'm just I kinda like just sitting back, relaxing, and being a vegetable.
[01:47:50] Duuude-Ron :
So Yeah. That is fun.
[01:47:52] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. Being a turnip is kinda nice.
[01:47:56] Unknown:
Yeah. Or zucchini.
[01:47:58] Bryan Goodwin:
A zucchini? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So so but, yeah, it's just that's just something that's I don't even know why that that old top came up. But, yeah, it did. I guess just because that's been the big big big the big
[01:48:16] Duuude-Ron :
bit stuck in the car.
[01:48:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, it's it's it's it's, it's something that needs to be done. And, and yeah. So but I am. Yeah. That's cool. If you guys want y'all guys wanna help, just reach out to me, [email protected]. Right. I'll I'll get you. So k. So what else y'all got? Y'all got anything on y'all's line?
[01:48:40] Duuude-Ron :
Trying to think. Hang on. What's what's next week? Let me look. Say, I've I've actually my weeks have actually picked up now because, I've I've I've started taking a CW class or a Morris could class.
[01:48:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, okay. Okay. I was thinking CW as the, as television channel. I was like, oh, really? No. Or That they do they do they do classes. And what is it? You know? How do you do Smallville? Or
[01:49:06] Duuude-Ron :
Right. No. It's it's no. It's Morse code. Okay. No. Everything like that. So, yeah, on Fridays or Tuesdays and Fridays at 7 o'clock, they use Jitsi. They don't use Zoom. Okay. But, Yeah. I've got that. And then Wednesday, of course, we have our vet call and then Thursdays, you know, we do this. So Mhmm. So, yeah, Tuesday through Friday, I'm, like, busy. And then Yeah. Well, Gary I mean, we talk, you know, whenever, but, you know, it's not it's not always every week or all the time. So Right. You know, which is fine. But so, yeah. I I mean, now if if, these sun these solar storms and stuff like this, if these will quiet back down because it seems like we've been having some, solar storms now for the last couple weeks.
And it yeah. I mean, it it really tears up. It tears up all kinds of communications. I I mean, yeah, it'll it'll freaking tank them just like that. But if if those will ease up for a while and everything, then, yeah, talking around the world will be just like we're sitting right here talking. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's a lot of fun because, you know, especially if you get like Greece or Italy, In fact, Ukraine. Believe it or not, there's hams still going in, Ukraine.
[01:50:43] Bryan Goodwin:
In Ukraine? Yeah. Yeah. He keeps the Italians and say, so so I was trying to think of the name of your damn town. I was like, I don't know. It's not it's not actually Pascagoula, but it's churn now, but suppose it's not Pascagoula. So
[01:51:01] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. Well, I don't know I don't know how how how you would say Gauthier in, Italian.
[01:51:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Go shea. Say it with an Italian. I because I've been doing on Duolingo. The thing I found out, if you're struggling with science, because they have times, little tests where you try to say the word.
[01:51:25] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm.
[01:51:26] Bryan Goodwin:
And if you try to just say the word, you're gonna a lot of times it says, nope. Nope. Try again. Or it won't recognize it unless you say it with an Italian accent. Really? So just Mario it up.
[01:51:41] Duuude-Ron :
And if you're still retired, so it's it's salve.
[01:51:45] Bryan Goodwin:
It's salve. Philadelphia. It is you know, go through, you say it with an Italian accent and and Duolingo's like going, yeah, you did good. So so it's just fun because it's like, okay. So so, you know, if you wanna actually learn how to say speak Mexican Right. Say it with a Mexican accent. You know, say instead of just saying hola, you know, you say hola, you know, you'd say you would go through it actually through it and say it like with a Mexican accent and you'll you'll you'll, you'll be a lot closer than than us gringo speaking normally.
[01:52:27] Duuude-Ron :
Really? Okay. Yeah. Okay.
[01:52:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Which is it makes sense in a very odd way. At least to me, it does. It's just like, well, okay. Yeah.
[01:52:37] Duuude-Ron :
I mean I mean, okay. Because because then, honestly, if you think about it, it's like, you know, if you talk well, then, you know, well, I agree. You know, what if you wanna learn Greek or
[01:52:47] Bryan Goodwin:
whatnot? Then you would say it with a Greek accent.
[01:52:50] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. I've only talked to a couple Greeks in in my
[01:52:55] Bryan Goodwin:
lifetime. Well, listen to listen to My Big Fat Greek Wedding and listen to how Gus talks. Okay. And this is Nick, Nick, Nicky, Nicholas, Nikolai, Nicky, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, and I am Gus. First one was amazing movie. Second one okay. It it could've been better, and I can't believe they actually decided to do a third one. So, so
[01:53:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They yeah. They just seem to keep rehashing in instead of using their minds and and thinking of something good, they just keep rehashing a lot of stuff. Yeah. And the funny thing is is they even if they try to reuse the IP, they kill it.
[01:53:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Which is sad. It's like, come on folks. I know it's scary to put your own idea out there. You might actually get booed at if you put your own idea, your own story out. But those times those people put their own stories out there, people are just like, oh my gosh. That's an amazing story. Who would've thought that, you know? And it's like Yeah. That's one reason why I like, I play video games now. It's not so much as I am a video game nerd. I do like playin' video games. But I play Red Dead Redemption 2. I play the Cyberpunk 2077.
I play all of those for the very fact that they have an incredible story. The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt, great story. Yeah. You got a lot of little extra side store side missions that are going on, which are just little side stories, little side note of the time that, you know, Geralt went off and and was trying to defeat the the Leshen. Oh, okay. You got your ass kicked for the 7th time before you might I finally got it killed, but you you get it. And that's just it it they're great stories. You know? You talk you play Cyberpunk 20 77. One of the side stories is Skippy the AI powered gun. And, you know, it's an amazing little side story. You get to learn more. There's not ever and there and there the lessons you learn from it are often very ambiguous.
There's never a real true happy ending if you get to really digging into it because you'll find little shards, other stories scattered throughout night city.
[01:55:12] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:55:13] Bryan Goodwin:
And and you start coming across, oh, this one person who's a hacker, a real known big known hacker in Night City, you you kinda follow through and you pick up more and more shards of their story. You come to find out, oh, yeah. Super hacker dude got fried by the by night watch over at, or or by NetWatch by someone. And, now you get to go figure out where they're at and pick up all their stuff and got a little more. And it's just it's a fascinating that you got all these little stories that all connect together Yeah. To form this whole giant story that is night city and cyber.
[01:55:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I say say say that's the thing. People, you know, like you said, like you said before, people are afraid that their idea will get shot down. And Yeah. Yeah. See, I, and I used to be like this and still into some degree here and there. But not everybody's gonna hate your idea. No. And, and all these people that, that you say will hate your idea, they don't matter. Right. Because they don't control what you do and how you live. So, you know, it's just like, put your idea out there. Yeah. It it could stick to high heaven, or it could be the best thing since sliced bread. Yeah. Well and I mean, that's they've
[01:56:35] Bryan Goodwin:
we can you often you know, you're you're hearing a lot of people these days saying, that the human attention span is less than the goldfish. It's something like 3 seconds long or something like that. I can believe that. No. Actually, it's not. Really? It's just that we got a lot of we have become very good at discerning. That's a bunch of bullshit story. I don't wanna waste my time watching that. And so a lot of people don't stand around and watch because they're going, oh, that's crap. That's stupid. I've seen that 75 times already on TikTok. I don't care to watch that again. And so they jump they jump off. They get bored with it because it's there's no novelty to it.
And so, yeah, I, and I'm one of those. I'll I'll, because look at this. What are we doing? We're doing a freaking 3 hour show.
[01:57:27] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[01:57:28] Bryan Goodwin:
You are not if you and granted, we're nowhere near Joe Rogan esque. You know? We we can't we we're not I don't even wanna try to put myself in Joe Rogan or Adam Curry, department because I know we're nowhere near that. Right. Right. Right. I mean, we've got what what's what do we have? So far, we know that whenever we doubt, whenever we put out a show, we get what? 8 listeners? Yes. So so we've got at least 6 or 8. We got well, we I think there's 8. One of 'em's you and one of 'em's me. Right. So we've yeah. Technically, we've got 6 other people who, for whatever reason, have decided, hey. I wanna listen to these guys again. And I was like, okay. Hey.
Well, alright. So amazingly, we've already got 6 people. Let's see if we can get it up to, get up to more. But, you know. Well, actually actually, before we jumped on, I checked and we were at, this morning we were at, like, 61 downloads.
[01:58:25] Duuude-Ron :
We're at 68.
[01:58:27] Bryan Goodwin:
So yeah. So we got some some they're discovering us somewhere. Yeah. And I wish that I I I I need to look and see if there's a way that we can put at least Google Analytics on, on the to onto our site so we can, so we're gonna at least start trying to figure out who's talking about us. Right. You know, is it is it Slate going, my gosh. We've got the we've got some of the worst entertainers out there. They're just talking about all sorts of offensive stuff. Because, there's gotta be somebody who's kinda talking about us or mentioning us because I don't think my my Facebook page is get, you know, or my Facebook profile is getting that much reach.
I don't know. Are you putting it out on your on your Facebook page there, Rich? No. I don't. I don't
[01:59:19] Duuude-Ron :
I don't freaking do much on on on on my Facebook page.
[01:59:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. So How about you, Ron? You put your you have you put it out on, on your Facebook page? Uh-oh. Ron fell asleep. I talked too much again. Oh, there he is.
[01:59:38] Duuude-Ron :
I was gonna say it's 9:30. This is the prenap before the bedtime. Yeah.
[01:59:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Pre nap before bedtime. That's right. Nope. I'm just a lift then.
[01:59:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But are you are you putting, are you putting, the latest episode on your on your Facebook, page at all?
[01:59:55] Unknown:
Like, as far as the, podcast? Yeah. Yeah. It's it's they're coming.
[02:00:04] Bryan Goodwin:
I get them every week. I'd Okay. But are you share are are you sharing it? Are you hitting the share button then?
[02:00:10] Unknown:
I do. Not yet.
[02:00:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. You know, we could actually grow a little more if y'all shared it. You don't have don't don't add don't invite your friends to the, to the page unless they wanna join the page. Yeah. No. Just just share it. Just just share it out. Just share it. You know, every time we get a new post up there, just go ahead and hit hit share and and and throw it out there and and let, and let everyone in in your group know. Because I share actually, I take it. I share it out on the Facebook, Twitter, threads. I don't share it on Instagram.
Haven't shared it on Instagram yet, but I think I'm gonna just take the screenshot or, take the, the cover art and share it, out on the on Instagram next week. See who else do I put it out on. I do LinkedIn. I've done Pinterest a couple times. I seem to get a lot of a lot of work, a lot of help with Pinterest, which is weird. But it it it it does do a little bit of, little bit of work. If you're if you can post it up onto on the group boards, then, let's see here. I don't put any up on on LinkedIn just because it's, I mean, it's not it's LinkedIn, and we're more this is more entertainment than it is, you know, business oriented.
[02:01:30] Duuude-Ron :
But But but the thing is at the same time, executives have to laugh too.
[02:01:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Well yeah. Yeah. You know? But I I do throw it up onto on the Mastodon social. So, I've got on there. I don't share it onto, onto, on podcast index social because that's more about podcasting 2.0 stuff. So I don't wanna necessarily put my shit there. But they pivot over onto the other one, so it is there. So, Vero. Vero is another one that I've social media site for that. I I I just dump my stuff on. Vero? Vero, v e r o. K. What is that? It's it was wanting to be an Instagram, competitor. Okay. And it came out, like, 2016 ish.
And, I mean, it's actually real pretty and stuff. It's more it's got more of a dark background and stuff, so it it's not like one of those that could go white or or black. It's just always a dark background. And it's Instagram with more options. So instead of just a picture, you can throw links up. You can you can do audio, video, and things like that. So it's it's it's neat, but at the same time, not very many people are on it. So Oh, okay. But, so, yeah. There's those are the main ones I I post to. It's, from time to time, I like to tweak the liberal noses. And, there's one called tribal, which is very, very, very liberal oriented.
And so I'll or something up there just from time to time, just watch the liberals' hair catch on fire. So
[02:03:20] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, actually, I could make a zap and have the episode uploads, like, straight to Mastodon or to some of these other sites.
[02:03:31] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I mean, you can do it if you want them to do play with, Zapier, more more welcome, man. Well I don't I've got Yes. I won't. Why? I just don't. I just don't care to play with, Zapier. Well,
[02:03:44] Duuude-Ron :
well, see the thing is, it, it, it comes with hot home, and there's Zapier does? Yes. Yes. And and and because, this last episode, when I dropped it, Uh-huh. It goes to the Facebook page. It goes to the LinkedIn page automatically. I ain't gotta do nothing. And, Sid, I think here in a couple days, right now, since since I just signed up onto it, you know, I'd say I get the premium a trial of the premium, but they have a free
[02:04:25] Bryan Goodwin:
thing. And, Yeah. But the free you're only allowed like
[02:04:29] Duuude-Ron :
2 or 3 zaps. You're only allowed a very small amount. No. No. You can do as many zaps as you want. You you where you're limited is the steps. You're only allowed 2 steps. Yeah. Yeah. That's yeah. That's right. See, that's where the zaps, you can have 500. Like like, take it from, you know, take the episode from Pod Home, drop it to Mastodon.
[02:04:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Done. Yep. Now the Yeah. The steps was is what it is because I was because I would I was taking it and taking my my, my blog post, and I was having to make one step to import the all the information. A second step to actually format the the information, and then the 3rd step was actually to post it out. And so I was having to go, like, 1 or 2 steps, 2 more than what they would file Yeah. On the free. And I was just like, okay. Never mind. This this is bullshit. Because if I throw it up there, it's like the title and not even an image. You don't get the featured image because that would be that would be like the the 4th step. Once the next step, that was too many. So it's just like, okay. Never mind. Yeah. So so yes. So yeah. That's I've yeah. The episode goes straight to,
[02:05:49] Duuude-Ron :
Facebook and LinkedIn right now. Okay. So I was like, that's just cool. I had never done that. I'm like, hell yeah.
[02:06:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. It was a lot like if this, then that, I think if, if this and that was a little more
[02:06:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You see, we didn't really learn that in school. They hadn't started teaching that.
[02:06:14] Bryan Goodwin:
What the oh, and there's the site. This there's a site called if this and that, ifttt.com. And it it's it was actually the it came out before SAP.
[02:06:27] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[02:06:28] Bryan Goodwin:
And it did pretty much the same thing. I think they've gone pay also, though. At first, it was all free because they I they thought they could make a $1,000,000 off the smile somehow. So Yeah. So but anyhow oh, I was just saying, it's that they were ringing.
[02:06:46] Duuude-Ron :
So Oh, yeah. That's I was just that that's just how I I ended I ended the discussion in a weird way. Yeah. You did. Because I was like he was like, but anyhow, and I was sitting here waiting on something else. And I was like, I look up and you're just like,
[02:07:01] Bryan Goodwin:
just smiling. Smell like the dumbass I am. So Woah. So but they you did say it was 9:30? Tom, is it? It's 9:30. 45 almost. I guess we need to go ahead and start getting this bad boy all wrapped up then. Probably so. Alright.

You've got options of being able to send, PayPal, or we can also, if you have a podcasting 2.0 compliant app, which you can get by going to, to new podcast apps. Okay. I always get that wrong. I'll I know the other one. If you can go to my site at relaxedmail.comforward /, new apps. That's one way. Oh, I know what it was. It's, podcasting2.org. Oh, yes. Actually you can you can go to go there and, put under under pot, under listeners, you can actually choose a podcasting app. You can go from True Fans to Fountain to to just about any other, there's several out there that are great, and what they do is they allow you to be able to send us boosts, and you can interact with us. You can talk with us. And we're fixing to be getting that all set up. We're finally getting through, getting our Bitcoin stuff set up so that we can actually implement the boostograms and stuff. So once we get that all set up, then awesome, great, and wonderful, you can actually start sending us, boostograms, which are little messages that will be sent directly to us, and we will then be able to, reply to them. We could even send a reply to you via via, via Boostagrams too, or you can send a stream satoshis over to us. And that's the one of the main ways. If you're not familiar with satoshis, satoshis are it's best way to look at them are they're arcade tokens.
Alright? They're tokens you just you spend some money, you get a bunch of tokens, and you can decide every minute, I'm gonna give you one satoshi or every minute, I'm gonna give you 10 satoshis. And you can stream your satoshis like that. Or you can actually boost sats. You can send us, you know, 10,000 sets and be able to, and and a message. And that is just a great way of just saying, hey, man. Thank you for the work you're doing. Thank you for all the fun you're sharing. Thank you for all the everything you're doing. If you can't or aren't able to afford the, for giving us your treasure, that's cool, man. That's alright. We're not it it helps us to be able to pay for hosting and all that, but at the same time, it's it's not it's not a requirement.
If you are have a talent, like you are a graphic designer and you would like to design our
[02:10:19] Duuude-Ron :
cover art. Cover art.
[02:10:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Episodic art, our chapter art, or just wanna throw up some, some graphics that we could put onto the, onto the post, beautiful. Send them over to us. You can send it over to [email protected]. That's circlecast, c a I r c l ecast@gmail. We're both atgmail. Send your work over to either one of us that way, and we will gladly put it up and also give you a split on your satoshi. So probably would need to have a, have a lightning wallet set up somewhere. Because, essentially, what it is is that it is we are running off of a, off a crypto. It is Bitcoin, but it's off of what's called the lightning network. So we're kinda off chain so things move a little bit faster and a little bit cheaper.
Right. But we also or if you don't have any talent, but you have some time available, maybe you can help us with, with other places, other things. And all you have to do is jump on and go, hey, man. I think it'd be really cool if we had a, had a a Facebook group. It's like, sweet, man. I'll start up a Facebook group. We'll get everybody all together. And, maybe you've got time and you would like to be a moderator. We can turn you into a moderator and you can help us out in that way. So there's a lot of ways that you can help. It's not just the the the treasure. What do you find that we've done that is of value? Up to you. No limit. You can say if you take just one satoshi's all we're worth, alright. Or if you wanna be a douchebag and say, I don't think you're worth any satoshi.
Alright. Cool. Well, you you can be a douchebag all you want. You can listen for free. Snow skin off my nose. But, you know, at the same time, if you decide somewhere down the road you wanna stop being a douchebag and you wanna start contributing to the show, awesome, man. We'd like we'll welcome you into the fold even again. We're working on coming up with ways that we can recognize those who want to contribute to us in as many ways as possible. We're working on that. We're not there yet, but as those features and those options come about, love to be able to share it with you guys. So we and or probably will share them with you. And so, guys, with that, I wanna say thanks. Rich, you have any last words you wanna give to the guys, gals that are out there on the on the show?

[02:13:31] Bryan Goodwin:
Absolutely. Alright. So, dude, what are your parting words of knowledge?
[02:13:37] Unknown:
And the 2 parting word of knowledge is, as all of us being friends, if you know of a veteran or you're friends with a veteran that is struggling and having a real hard time, talk to know them. Ask them to open of what is going on in their life. We have right now, roughly 22 a day veterans that take their own because they don't feel that 1, they have any worth, and 2, they don't have anybody to talk to. If you have a veteran that is struggling, please reach out to them for a buddy check. Say, hey, you know, how you doing? And get to know and that may be one of the 22 that get saved.
Yes.
[02:14:39] Duuude-Ron :

It starts cutting you out at 10. Right at 10 right around 10. All of a sudden, you start creeping in with the cellular Chinese. So Alright. Well, check check on your vets. Absolutely. That is the epitome of what he was saying. So That's Yes. Yeah. That's
