Bryan Goodwin:
Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude. This is a show that each week allows for three friends to get together and live life intentionally. We do this by throwing a little social commentary with our own weird consumer and our thoughts together to show folks that living, having weekly conversations is a good way to help each other, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude.
[00:00:34] Rich Chelson:

[00:00:57] Unknown:
Bella's driving me up at this afternoon. She likes she, like, wants to constantly go outside.
[00:01:07] Rich Chelson:
And Well, yeah. She's discovered outside's good.
[00:01:11] Unknown:
And and she just hasten around, you know, walk into the back door, and then, you know, if I get it and use the bathroom, I go walk to the kitchen for anything. She's, like, at the front door wanting to go out, and I'm like, no. I'm a put her fence up tomorrow. I got to yard mowed today, so I'm a put her fence up tomorrow. I'm a open the back door and say, go. Have fun have fun with your badge. So
[00:01:36] Rich Chelson:
Okay. She'll go to scratching at the door because you're not out there with her.
[00:01:42] Unknown:
Right. Right. We like to
[00:01:44] Rich Chelson:
will not she will not exit without you.
[00:01:49] Unknown:
Oh, I can I, yeah, I can do that? I can I can easily, you know, get her to make it out there? You know? The first time, I'll probably have to walk out with her and when she sees a fence. I don't know. I mean I mean, she's been in fenced yard, so you know? But, yeah, probably the first time, I'll probably have to go out with her. But after that, I'll I'll just open that door and say, go have fun. Hiya. Just go play with your bad self. Give me a minute. But, yeah, I spent I'm I moved I moved a couple of my masks for my antennas out the way of where I'm putting the fence.
And then well, I mowed also, so that's all done. Okay.
[00:02:39] Duuude-Ron :
Well, man, you got a lot of shit accomplished in one day, didn't you?
[00:02:43] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. He is a man of action.
[00:02:46] Duuude-Ron :
I guess.
[00:02:47] Unknown:
I did. The man, the myth,
[00:02:50] Duuude-Ron :
the legend in his own mind.
[00:02:54] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. No. I was I was I was debate. Now I mean, I needed to mow, but, you know, I was, you know, I'm still I'm I'm I still haven't fully recovered from this trip. I'm tired as shit. But I was like, nah. I better get this shit done because there'd be no way I could do it. Mow, move everything, and then put that fence up, but, yeah, that would just suck.
[00:03:24] Duuude-Ron :
So, well, is the wood is the fence all wood? No. It's metal. Metal? Okay.
[00:03:30] Unknown:
Yeah. It's it's metal panels.
[00:03:33] Duuude-Ron :
How tall are they?
[00:03:35] Unknown:
They're four foot high.
[00:03:37] Duuude-Ron :
Four foot? Okay. Sure. Four foot by four foot or four foot by six foot?
[00:03:42] Unknown:
No. Four foot by 32 inches.
[00:03:45] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[00:03:47] Unknown:
But but, I mean, I mean, either way, even if I laid them, you know, even if I could lay them on her side, she still couldn't jump 32 inches.
[00:04:00] Rich Chelson:
So you say?
[00:04:02] Unknown:
Well, yeah. But, I mean I mean, I don't know. I don't I don't I don't see her jumping that high. I'm not sure. Not. I mean, Rain doesn't doesn't believe she can jump that high until she jumps that high. Right. But, I mean, well, Rain is, what, like, six foot four now?
[00:04:24] Duuude-Ron :
You know, pretty close.
[00:04:27] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. But, again, I have a four foot tall fence, and she you just she's jumped over four foot tall fences before, and that was only because she saw one of one of her her her cousins do it. So she's like, oh, okay.
[00:04:48] Unknown:
Right.
[00:04:49] Rich Chelson:
And, apparently, she thinks every fence is different when it comes to height because she'll still do it over at over in Pottsville where she learned how that she could jump over that fence. But any other fence, no. No. She's she doesn't, she doesn't jump over any of them. Well, that's a good thing. Oh, yeah.
[00:05:07] Unknown:
That's that's a real good thing. But, yeah, no other than that, you know, I got that done, took a shower, and, I was like, no. I'm done. That's it. I'm done for the day. Because I knew I had to podcast tonight, so I didn't wanna be totally wore out. Right. I'd be the one snoring, you know you know, instead of dude.
[00:05:32] Duuude-Ron :
You know, all I'd have to do is call you then. Wake Wake up, you motherfucker. Right? You know, so here's a reminder. If I do fall asleep that you can text me and my text thing is pretty loud, yeah, it would wake my ass up.
[00:05:51] Unknown:
Okay. But but let me ask you this. If you're using your phone, does your text notification
[00:05:59] Duuude-Ron :
come through text as loud? You know what? It just goes, plink. You're right there.
[00:06:05] Unknown:
Yeah. The reason I reason I was asking is my phone isn't even that loud. It it just it just makes a low, like, clunk, you know, if I'm on the phone and, you know, an email or a text comes through.
[00:06:19] Duuude-Ron :
You know? So I wonder if I wonder if a call would oversee. Yeah. Well, I've watched I was, you know, doing, like, YouTube videos, just watching a video when somebody calls me. A call coming in will supersede all of that no matter what I'm doing. Now with Zoom Yeah. Now with Zoom, I'm not sure.
[00:06:40] Unknown:
Well, you know what? I'll call you. We'll we'll we'll just find out right now. How about that? Why don't we just find out right now? How about that? It's like, instead of talking about it, let's just try the try this bad memory gym out.
[00:06:57] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, let's see how it does. Yep. It overrides it.
[00:07:02] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:07:03] Rich Chelson:
Well, I hear the I hear the, I hear the vibration. The ring the buzzer.
[00:07:10] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yeah. Because I have it on the ring and vibrate. Yep. Okay. It's an old public phone, but, yeah, that would wake me up. Okay. So you may be calling me after a while because I got about maybe three hours of sleep. You know how much and I know I know you guys know how much fun it is to go from dead asleep to sitting up in a bed hoping not to throw up because of acid reflux. And it's right there at the fucking Adam's apple. And doing everything to fuck to keep it in. And I'll just do everything else.
[00:07:53] Rich Chelson:
That I I have something similar to that. But what happens is I'll be laying there, and the ass stomach acid will go get up, but it'll act I'll actually aspirate a little bit. So I'll be like, and I'll get up, and I have that nasty, just burning, feeling all the at the back of your throat. And so for the next hour, I'm awake because I wake up every time I go, and it burns again. It was like, oh, Jesus Christ. What the hell, man? And rinse and repeat. I'm so It's all good. That's what I did most of the night last night. So Oh, yummers.
[00:08:32] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, that's always fun. Right. And help you out.
[00:08:37] Rich Chelson:
Roll up on the bed or the floor is like, keep it together, damn it. Right. Yeah. That would suck. Made it through dive part a dive school without yacking. I should be able to make it this far.
[00:08:49] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. So, yeah, as long as you guys don't talk later on in the evening about, you know, gaming and or computers, I'll be fine. Because all that just goes.
[00:09:04] Rich Chelson:
I don't think, I don't think, Rich has gotten around to doing hail divers yet. So
[00:09:10] Unknown:

[00:09:17] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's a 40. Yeah. No. It's a it's a $40,
[00:09:21] Unknown:
game, but it's a fun $40 game. I mean, I mean, I looked at some of the screenshots, you know, the videos and stuff, and, yeah, it kinda looks okay. But I'm like, is it really worth $40?
[00:09:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yes.
[00:09:34] Unknown:
See, I don't know.
[00:09:36] Rich Chelson:

[00:09:37] Duuude-Ron :
I I'm guessing. I paid 40.
[00:09:39] Rich Chelson:
I paid the price. Damn it. Gallagher.
[00:09:42] Duuude-Ron :
That's it.
[00:09:44] Unknown:

Yeah. I like it. Yes. Okay.
[00:09:49] Unknown:
I've got it on my PS five.
[00:09:51] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay. How'd you get it on PS five?
[00:09:54] Unknown:
I was looking through the PlayStation catalog and found it. I've got that, miss Pac Man. Uh-huh. And oh, shoot. I even got Atari games, man. Yeah. Yeah. If you look on the PlayStation catalog, you can find it. Mhmm. And it's the original.
[00:10:18] Rich Chelson:
At least it acts like the original.
[00:10:21] Duuude-Ron :
Looks good. Feels. But trying to navigate that game with a console you know, a hand console versus the actual game itself,
[00:10:36] Rich Chelson:
of course, it looks like it's different.
[00:10:38] Duuude-Ron :
You know? You know what? I think it's a little bit different.
[00:10:40] Unknown:
Well, you see the yeah. Because, I mean, you know, you got a trigger, but the movement is still as buggy as as as the actual arcade console. Oh, it's I mean, it's what you yeah. It is. It's it's it's it's still as buggy as as as the arcade game.
[00:11:02] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, I could probably set the controller down on the table. And with that, I'm sure it's the left hand is the one that moves the spacecraft on its, you know, around the screen, and then the other right hand button, whichever one is the one that triggers. I can I can maybe probably you know, I could probably handle that?
[00:11:24] Unknown:
Yeah. That's I I think I think that's the way it's go. I'm not a 100% sure. I don't pay attention. I just it I fired the game up, start up because I like that game also and just automatically started playing. You know? I didn't even pay attention because I knew I needed to shoot, and I needed to move. I'm just You gotta get out of the way. You gotta shoot the bad guys.
[00:11:51] Duuude-Ron :
Move. Well
[00:11:54] Unknown:
but, yeah, that's, yeah, I've got that game.
[00:11:57] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. So Have you ever made it even in the big I don't know. Did you ever play it in the big art
[00:12:04] Rich Chelson:
the big arcade game? Yeah. The stand up console? Yeah. Stand up cabinet, oh,
[00:12:10] Unknown:

[00:12:14] Duuude-Ron :
Did you ever make it to Earth? Did you ever make it to Earth?
[00:12:20] Rich Chelson:
I didn't know how you could make it to Earth. I figured it was just one of those never ending.
[00:12:25] Unknown:
Well,
[00:12:26] Duuude-Ron :

[00:12:44] Unknown:

[00:12:57] Duuude-Ron :
So I don't fucking remember. It's been shit. Last time I actually played the arcade game, I was, like, 18,
[00:13:09] Unknown:
I think. They don't have this game on PS five. At least not at least I haven't seen it. I'm not saying it's not on there, but I haven't seen it.
[00:13:19] Duuude-Ron :
I thought Gala going to the different well, like I said, that's been forty almost forty years ago since I last played it on the arcade game.
[00:13:31] Unknown:
Right.
[00:13:32] Duuude-Ron :
But me and a buddy of mine would tell play for eight hours on 50¢, a quarter apiece
[00:13:38] Unknown:
Damn.
[00:13:39] Duuude-Ron :
And play for eight hours.
[00:13:41] Unknown:
That was some cheap entertainment right there.
[00:13:44] Duuude-Ron :
That is you can't get any cheaper entertainment than that
[00:13:49] Unknown:
Right.
[00:13:50] Duuude-Ron :

[00:13:54] Unknown:
Well, yeah, that is true.
[00:13:56] Duuude-Ron :

[00:14:04] Unknown:
But yeah. No. That's, but, yeah, I've got a few I've got a few of the old arcade games you can play.
[00:14:12] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Pac Man was fun. Donkey Kong was fun.
[00:14:16] Unknown:
I don't have Donkey Kong.
[00:14:19] Rich Chelson:
Nintendo won't let you have that yet. No. No.
[00:14:24] Unknown:
Hell, freaking Nintendo just came out with Donkey Kong Blast. Right. So, yeah, they they are not giving up the Donkey Kong franchise for nothing. I believe it. I mean, maybe when we're 8085, they might.
[00:14:40] Duuude-Ron :
Doubt it. Yeah. I doubt it. Now they're bringing in a whole new generation of gamers for Donkey Kong. Now Donkey Kong Blast, I wonder if that's anything you know, I'm I know the graphics are, you know, like, phenomenally better than the arcade games back in the eighties, but I wonder if it, like, has, you know, all new adventures.
[00:15:12] Unknown:
Yeah. It does. Because, I've seen I've seen I've seen I've seen commercials on the TV, and they're showing it. And, yeah, they've they've they've changed the layout of the game and, you know, it's still Donkey Kong and everything, but now now Donkey Kong can break He runs around, like, in a big world and breaks rocks and, you know, all kinds of other stuff. So
[00:15:41] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[00:15:42] Unknown:
So, yeah, I've seen I've seen a few commercials for the new Donkey Kong game, and, yeah, the the graphics are awesome.
[00:15:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I can imagine.
[00:15:52] Unknown:
So but, I mean, I'll never have it because I'll never get a Nintendo.
[00:16:00] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I don't blame you. Probably, I don't know what the cost of a Nintendo is these days, but they buy the system for one game. Yeah. Kind of a Not a smart move. Yeah. We got a PlayState PS five that, you know,
[00:16:18] Rich Chelson:
$500.
[00:16:20] Unknown:
Well, and see, that's the thing. Nowadays nowadays, a lot of the games are going cross play. So it doesn't matter what system you have. A lot of the games, you can be I can be on my PS five. Brian can be on his PS five. You could have an Xbox, and we all could play the same game at the same time with each other.
[00:16:41] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah.
[00:16:42] Unknown:
So, yeah, a lot of games are are going cross play like that.
[00:16:47] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Well, I don't see myself in any time soon getting a PS five or Nintendo or PlayStation. Yeah. Probably not gonna happen anytime soon, or at least in my lifetime.
[00:17:02] Unknown:
Well, what about an Xbox?
[00:17:06] Duuude-Ron :
Probably won't do an I you know? Hell, I don't know.
[00:17:10] Unknown:
You might get an Xbox, Yeah. I know you won't, dude.
[00:17:15] Duuude-Ron :
No. Probably not. Yeah. Probably not. Yeah. I've just never been, except for the actual arcades, never big on, you know, gaming. I got the, you know, Atari about fifteen years ago that has all the games inside. It doesn't have any cartridges.
[00:17:37] Unknown:
Right.
[00:17:38] Duuude-Ron :
And it still sits there. I've played it maybe 10 times in the last ten years.
[00:17:47] Unknown:
Well, I mean I mean, I don't I don't I don't play mine all the time.
[00:17:52] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I know.
[00:17:53] Unknown:
You know? But, yeah, sometimes I do I do I I do pull it out. Now when I pull it out and play it, I normally play it for a good while. You know? Because, you know, if I'm a fire it up and play a game, you know, I'm a spend minimum two hours, if not four.
[00:18:14] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you're gonna win at all costs.
[00:18:18] Unknown:
Well, I'm gonna try to and
[00:18:20] Duuude-Ron :
try to finish, you know, get to the end state.
[00:18:24] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe in another four hundred hours, I might make it.
[00:18:31] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:18:32] Unknown:
I finished so what is that? Tom Clancy's breakpoint. I finished the motherland mode. I I finished it, and now I mean, I can do the I can either go back to the story mode. I I think I still have a few things to play on there Yeah. I haven't finished that one yet. So but, yeah, I'll switch characters on that and just because I've got them built up. They're all maxed out. I mean, I can't get any higher on it. So
[00:19:09] Duuude-Ron :
And as far as what what the character can, have and use?
[00:19:14] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. The strength and all that and everything. I mean, I'm I'm maxed everywhere. The only thing I can do is level up because I got one character at level sixty five and one at, I think, 48. I think so.
[00:19:31] Duuude-Ron :
So Sure. I believe you.
[00:19:34] Unknown:
But still, I got you know, I've got stuff I could still play on that game, and then I've got a whole list of other games I can play.
[00:19:44] Duuude-Ron :
But now you said you just finished the one What was that called?
[00:19:49] Unknown:
Motherland. It's, the main game's called Breakpoint. Point? Yeah. Yeah. Tom Clancy's Breakpoint, but it was a Motherland trailer that that it came out, like, a year or two ago. And I just finished it.
[00:20:08] Duuude-Ron :
So there's so there's no other lands to go to?
[00:20:13] Rich Chelson:
Not in that Hell, dog. I can't move.
[00:20:16] Unknown:
I have to go back to the story mode, and I've got I've got other areas I can go there and and, you know, shoot some more people and capture some more people. So, yeah, I I yeah. I'm not I'm not I'm not totally done with that game yet.
[00:20:36] Duuude-Ron :
But that's interesting.
[00:20:38] Rich Chelson:
And since you've gotten that version, there's what about six versions
[00:20:42] Duuude-Ron :
newer?
[00:20:43] Unknown:
No. Uh-huh. Nope. Okay. No. Not on this one. Now now Call of Duty when I play Call of Duty, say, they're up on season six, and I think I was playing season five or I I can't remember. I don't know. I can't I can't I can't keep up because the seasons only go for so long, and then and then they make a new season.
[00:21:11] Duuude-Ron :
So But you're never gonna get hot in score.
[00:21:15] Unknown:
No. Hell no. Well, you see you see see, that's the way I look at it. Okay? When I step into the game, I have already won the game. Everybody else, they're the ones that suck in high and titty because I I'm the biggest, baddest mofo there. And even if I die, I'm still ahead of them. That's the way I think. Because by god, when I walk in, I'm shooting somebody.
[00:21:45] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. Understandably. So but shot
[00:21:51] Unknown:
oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I get shot. But, you know, it's you know, it's all good. I'm you know? And and you see, that's the thing. You know? I don't play really for you know, to get on any leaderboards because I know there's, you know, people that this is what they do for hours on end, days on end. You know? I just I just go in and play my game and play what I want. And then when I'm done playing, okay. See you. Bye. I just shut it off. I don't No. And say see you. I just go, I'm out. So, yeah, trying to trying to win, no. I don't. I just play. When I get tired, I shut it off.
But the funny thing about it is, though, when I play, you know, I feel like I should be doing something else. You know what I mean? You know? So I can
[00:22:51] Duuude-Ron :
see so I can see roughs or Yeah. Trimming the edges.
[00:22:56] Unknown:
Yeah. Fuck them hedges. Fiction fiction, say it say it to need to be cut again.
[00:23:05] Duuude-Ron :
I'm dreading it. But Oh, I got Yeah. I got the Sawzall.
[00:23:10] Unknown:
Well, I got a Sawzall too. Yours is easier to use, though, because it's battery powered.
[00:23:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But it sounded to me, like, when I got down there, let them damn things would be gone. We're gonna I I just caught them down at the base.
[00:23:28] Unknown:
That's that's what I wanna do. That is that is what I wanna do.
[00:23:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. We'll take care of that.
[00:23:37] Unknown:
Freaking. Slice them at the base, stack them on my my bare spot over there, and and let the city come pick them up. Well, there you go. Now I might I might put something back there because it, you know, kinda separated, you know, my front yard from the street and stuff, but I'm not putting hedges back. Let's put it that way.
[00:23:58] Duuude-Ron :
You know what you need to do? What's that? You need to make a little miniature gnome
[00:24:09] Unknown:
society. That might be kinda fun. Yeah. That might be kinda fun.
[00:24:15] Duuude-Ron :
You know, just make your own little you know, get some, like, planter boxes. You know, about build them to where they're about, oh, two and a half feet high, and just make your miniature gnome city. You know? That would be hilarious if you actually started that.
[00:24:38] Unknown:
It would be. Get, like, the mushroom houses and everything.
[00:24:43] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:24:46] Unknown:
Make, like, a big diorama.
[00:24:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I mean It it could be your version of a train set city.
[00:24:59] Unknown:
That's funny. I hadn't even thought of that.
[00:25:03] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, here you go. I just saw something on I can't remember what I was watching. You know who has one of the biggest miniature train setups in the world? No. Rod Stewart.
[00:25:18] Unknown:
Really?
[00:25:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yes. He has he built a building, I mean, like, several 100 feet long, several 100 feet wide, and and built his train set.
[00:25:35] Unknown:
Oh, that would be cool as shit, man.
[00:25:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. He even has little beam powered engines. Oh, I see. The hell they work? You know, I don't know.
[00:25:50] Rich Chelson:
But Right.
[00:25:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. He has everything from when trains first started to current. And he has villages that are from the, you know, eighteen hundreds to metropolis in his train set. It was fucking cool.
[00:26:11] Unknown:
Yeah. I just
[00:26:12] Duuude-Ron :
And it's on several levels.
[00:26:16] Unknown:
I just I just freaking brought up pictures. Good god. This is awesome.
[00:26:23] Duuude-Ron :
And the, article that I saw is he would bring on tour some of his trains and cars that he was working on painting and doing whatever to him.
[00:26:37] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:26:38] Duuude-Ron :
Would work on those while he was on tour.
[00:26:42] Unknown:
Wow. That's what I did. I mean I mean, honestly, that that'd be a good way to unwind after a concert or something.
[00:26:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:26:52] Unknown:
You know?
[00:26:53] Duuude-Ron :
And so to occupy his time Right. Overall. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. I saw that. I was like, oh, that's fucking cool. Could I be patient enough to do that? I don't know. Probably not. You can do it. How are you doing? Because I'm sure the hell ain't rich enough to do it. Oh, no. No. No. I mean, I do. I'm sure he's got probably several million dollars in that that layout.
[00:27:24] Unknown:
I would I would venture probably 500,000. Hang on.
[00:27:30] Duuude-Ron :
Now remember now remember, he built that building for that train set.
[00:27:37] Unknown:
Right. Hang on. Let me oh my god. Is okay, Rod Stewart's Grand Street and Three Rivers City model train set is a priceless, one of a kind creation, not a commercial set for sale. He spent $30,000,000 and twenty six years building it. Jail. That's that's a lot of fucking money. Right.
[00:28:08] Duuude-Ron :
Well, he he built on his estate, he built a building specifically for that. You know, I'm sure that building is several million dollars Yeah. As as big as it is.
[00:28:21] Unknown:
Yeah. That's I mean, that's that's just insane. Because I mean I mean, if you look at the trains, the landscape, the sets, the buildings, the dirt, grass, sand I mean, yeah. Because People, buildings. Trees. Fucking trees are expensive at a hobby store.
[00:28:40] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:28:41] Unknown:
I've looked at them, you know, just because, you know, I'm like, one day, I would like to build a train set. Shit. Uh-huh. Shit. She'll spend a mini fortune in the landscaping. Oh, yeah. You know? But, yeah, $30,000,000, it says. And it says there is not a standard market price or value for this. So is it it's it's it's all custom, apparently.
[00:29:10] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. I believe that.
[00:29:12] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. And he did I think the article said he did 90% of the work as far as the building and everything. Not the building itself, but building all the layers, the landscaping was all done by him. Yep.
[00:29:28] Unknown:
That's crazy. That is crazy. Oh my god. No. That's awesome to see, you know, someone who's, you know, a famous singer that, you know, that's his that's his hobby. Because that's Mhmm. I mean, if you ask me, model trains sets or whatnot is a dying hobby anyway. I might be wrong.
[00:29:51] Duuude-Ron :
They are.
[00:29:52] Unknown:
Yeah. They are. You know, it's it's still it's still, you know, something nice to see.
[00:29:58] Duuude-Ron :
But yeah. Yeah. Especially especially on a large scale, you know, aspect. Right. You know, I've seen one in a what was it? Someplace in North Carolina, there was a museum that had it was probably a 200 square feet display, 300 square feet display train set behind glass. I think it was at a old train station where they had that set up because there was an old locomotive inside the building.
[00:30:32] Unknown:
Right. Well, over in Biloxi, I haven't been there yet, but there's a train hobby store museum over there in Biloxi.
[00:30:42] Rich Chelson:

[00:30:43] Unknown:
Yeah. And I haven't been there because because one day, I was gonna go I was driving by there, and there was three school buses in there. I'm like, yeah. I'm not going in there with all them. Nope. Sorry. I'm out. You know? But but, yeah, I would like to go see it, but yet at the same time, if they offer train sets for sale, no. I can't go because, no, I'm broke. I have no money. Yeah. Yeah. Alright? And I have no room.
[00:31:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right. Another building.

You know? So it's like Yeah.
[00:31:19] Duuude-Ron :

Your drone, your, ham radios Mhmm. You know, all that stuff. You know, it's all electronic video game.

I've got I've got unless unless I get another one of them sheds like I had, you know, lived in up north, It just, you know, make it see, I need to stop because Yeah. The money for that. And I'm sitting here thinking, let me see. How can I work that out?
[00:32:11] Duuude-Ron :
And and then, of course, you'd have to get somebody to come in there and run the wiring.
[00:32:18] Unknown:
And, of course, you'd have to I'll do that. I mean, I So Well, let's just well, see, since I live in town, I probably have to get someone to come in.
[00:32:28] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. You'd have to dig a trench and put the line ends on the ground.
[00:32:35] Unknown:
Yeah. No. That that I would have to pay somebody to do. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
[00:32:41] Rich Chelson:
Transfer line in. But Oh, you don't wanna dig dig a trench?
[00:32:46] Unknown:
Not unless you had a mini hoe.
[00:32:51] Duuude-Ron :
What about a major hoe?
[00:32:53] Unknown:
What about a major hoe? Hey. I don't care what I don't care what size a hoe is just as long as I ain't gotta hand dig that bitch.
[00:33:02] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I was gonna say let the hoe hand dig the bitch.
[00:33:07] Unknown:
Oh my god. Now you finally got it. I got it. Wow. Excuse me. Now you are for me.
[00:33:16] Duuude-Ron :
You are quick today. What snuck up my idea? Swift kick in the ass?
[00:33:21] Unknown:
Yeah. I might need one.
[00:33:23] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, you're you're always in need of a swift kick in the ass in some way, shape, or form. Right. You know, that's we need to hire a Brian, we need to hire somebody just to go over there and kick Rich's ass at least twice a day. I'm sure you could probably pay one of his neighbors to do it.
[00:33:44] Rich Chelson:
You say
[00:33:46] Unknown:
they ain't home during the day. So
[00:33:49] Rich Chelson:

That's enough to make it, you know what to not what to say to make you cringe.
[00:34:17] Unknown:
Tango alpha Sierra kilo. And what's the second word?
[00:34:21] Rich Chelson:
Rabbit. Like bugs, bunny. Rabbit.
[00:34:25] Unknown:
Bugs, bunny. Okay. Like the Easter

[00:34:31] Duuude-Ron :
Which What the fuck is that? Just is that kinda like an Angie's List type thing?
[00:34:36] Rich Chelson:
Angie's List. It's a Angie's list or no. What's the other fucking thing that's, Uber except for, instead of, instead of doing your, instead of taking you places, you have somebody come by, and they do shit for you.

[00:35:11] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, hell. And after he gets done oh, you you know, yeah, that is perfect. You know? Rich gets what he wants. We get what we want. Big, fat, sweaty guy come over, and Rich wants a hug.
[00:35:25] Rich Chelson:
And we want him to get a kick in the ass.
[00:35:28] Duuude-Ron :
Oh my god. No. No. Can facilitate on both. Mm-mm. Well, it's cheaper that way Oh. All the way around.
[00:35:38] Unknown:
Putting services together with the same person is cheaper? Oh my god. No. I'm good. But, yeah, I'd never heard of TaskRabbit.
[00:35:50] Duuude-Ron :
Neither of us. I do this shit myself for the most part.
[00:35:55] Unknown:
Right.
[00:35:56] Duuude-Ron :
And if I fuck it up, then I'll hire somebody.
[00:36:00] Unknown:
Nah. Not me. If I fuck it up, you know, unless I totally tear it up, then I ain't got no choice. But, normally, if I fuck it up, I'll rip it back apart and do it again.
[00:36:11] Duuude-Ron :
Well, that's what I'm saying. I wanna fuck something up. Up, you might as well do it. If you're gonna fuck something up, you might as well want you know, go big or go home. Right. Right? So that way, you know Then, of course, that of course, that price, though, goes up considerably because they're going, damn. What the fuck did this guy do? Now I gotta unpack everything.
[00:36:38] Unknown:
Yeah. And that those those freaking dollar signs just go through the roof.
[00:36:44] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[00:36:45] Duuude-Ron :
All I know, I'm fixing to get a roof on my house here within the next month.
[00:36:51] Unknown:
Well, that's cool.
[00:36:53] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Insurance is paying for it, so that's a better deal.
[00:36:59] Unknown:
Right. That's a whole lot better deal, dude.
[00:37:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:37:03] Unknown:
That's freaking better than what I got. I had to pay for the bitch.
[00:37:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right.
[00:37:09] Unknown:
And that's just rude. I had to call them.
[00:37:13] Duuude-Ron :
Because somebody in the past probably did it themselves and fucked it up.
[00:37:19] Unknown:
No. My I mean I mean I mean, mine was old. And, I mean, it just it just hadn't been maintained is what it was.
[00:37:27] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. So the wet the elements got to it?
[00:37:31] Unknown:
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And that's just that's just what it was. And when I called the insurance company, they was only gonna pay 8,800 of it or 8,500.
[00:37:44] Duuude-Ron :
Well, that would have been better than nothing.
[00:37:47] Unknown:
Well, true. But still, it's like, really? Y'all only gonna pay $8,000 when you know the price of a brand new roof either with shingles or metal? You're freaking stupid.
[00:38:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's it. Would've saved 8,000 in the long run, but Yeah. Well, you get your point.
[00:38:07] Unknown:
You're right. You're right. 8,500 would have gone a long way, and it would have dropped my 20 down to, what, $11.10?
[00:38:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Somewhere around there.
[00:38:18] Unknown:
Yeah. You know, payments would have been cheaper. This is true. You do have a point. But
[00:38:25] Duuude-Ron :
and and I even But in turn, would they have hiked up your your insurance rate?
[00:38:31] Unknown:
See, I don't know. Probably. I don't know. I don't know. And it could be, you know,
[00:38:38] Duuude-Ron :
with the mine being hail damaged, that's a little bit different than age and just, you know, getting it replaced. So
[00:38:48] Unknown:
right. So, yeah, I should be I should be good, though. Shouldn't have worry about it yet. Unless this storm that's, out in the Pacific keeps coming this way.
[00:39:01] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:39:02] Unknown:
It's not it's it's still it it looks like it's kinda stalled out. I looked, you know, it looks like it's about in the same place as it was yesterday.
[00:39:14] Duuude-Ron :
Is that the one that just never even came close to United States before it started going north, or is this a different storm now?
[00:39:24] Unknown:
No. This is a different storm. Oh, okay. Yeah. Those those ones that had turned those turned and went left, they're gone. See you later. Bye. Oh, okay. This is this is a new one, and it's it's coming straight across, the, The Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Cuba. Well, that's that's the way it's tracking right now. It's not close to there yet.
[00:39:52] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You know, but you were talking about it the yesterday about the spaghetti models. Yeah. That that's hilarious, those spaghetti models. It's like, you can predict all you want, but the only thing you're gonna do is you can't predict it. The only thing you can do is react because it's gonna choose its own damn path.
[00:40:14] Unknown:
Well, and see, that's the thing. I mean I mean, the national hurricane center has the same thing. You know? Well, yeah. They just watch it move along because you can't do anything with it. You can't steer it in any direction. You know?
[00:40:32] Duuude-Ron :
It's And, and and, primarily, the spaghetti models are for, you know, preparation activities. Right. Who's gonna be affected at this per certain point and so on, but, you know, until it goes where it wants to go, yeah, ain't ain't much that's gonna happen to now you could be like the guys that I don't remember where the fuck it is. He ratchet strapped his roof down.
[00:41:03] Unknown:
I'm not sure I'm not sure where that happened at. I you know, I don't know, but
[00:41:09] Duuude-Ron :
he got it it was, like, about six, and I don't even know what the length of it was. They're probably about four or 500 feet long. And then he cemented anchors into his yard, and he ratchet strapped his house and roofs to the ground. Fucking hilarious.
[00:41:29] Unknown:
Yeah. That is that is hilarious because I don't care how well you think of a job you did. If that storm wants to take that house, it's gonna take that house.
[00:41:40] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah.
[00:41:41] Unknown:
You can't you can't stop the wind. The wind's gonna do what it wants to do.
[00:41:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:41:49] Unknown:
And, you know, it it, you know, it could slow the wind up from doing its full job, but when it gets battered like that and keeps getting battered for hours upon hours, it'll take that out.
[00:42:04] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. And then the only thing that's left is the six pieces that were actually right up underneath the ratchet strap. Right. Right. Yeah. That would be hilarious too. Actually, it wouldn't because then, you know, somebody's house is gone, and I don't wish that on anybody.
[00:42:19] Unknown:
Right. Right. Same here. But, I mean, it'd still be funny.
[00:42:25] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But unless you make that I wish it happened to anybody, but I'll laugh if she does.
[00:42:29] Unknown:
Right. I would. Well, you see, that's the thing because, you know you know, you and it's sad to say, but but there's a lot of people like this. You know, they put their whole faith, their whole livelihood into, like, their house, their possessions, and shit like this. And it's like Right. People, when you live in a storm prone area, there's a good chance you're gonna lose it all.
[00:43:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yes.
[00:43:01] Unknown:
You know, insurance, maybe you'll get most of the money back. You know? But, you know you know, other than that, just deal with it. You know?
[00:43:14] Duuude-Ron :
You know, if I if I was to win the lottery and, you know, say, I moved down to, like, Miami area.
[00:43:21] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[00:43:22] Duuude-Ron :
I'd still build a stilt house. However, the stilts would be made of reinforced concrete, and the walls would be made out of cinder block. Right. And the floors would be poured concrete. Now with that said, after all is said and done, if a hurricane comes through there, it's gonna take everything but the fucking stilts and the and the walls. It'll take everything else.
[00:43:50] Unknown:
Well, yeah. Yeah. Mostly, yeah, it would take everything else except the concrete. But Yep. You can't rule out it not taking the concrete out because because when the storm's coming across, it's blowing everything else around. What if it's, you know, a big old chunk of quarter inch steel and that quarter inch steel just sliced right into your columns? You know? Hate to say it, but, yeah,
[00:44:18] Duuude-Ron :
house ain't standing no more. You know? Yeah. You just had to fucking bust my goddamn bubble, didn't you? Motherfucker. What a dickhead.
[00:44:30] Unknown:
Is it? I mean I mean, it is possible. I'm not saying it would happen. It's possible, though.
[00:44:38] Duuude-Ron :
You know? That's Yeah. And then yeah. And did you know what? If it happened, guess what? Somebody would be having a visitor visiting them and getting kicked in the dick. Like, shit, Dean.
[00:44:53] Unknown:
But it's not my fault. I just I just alerted you to the Yeah. Situation.
[00:45:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You just had to open up your fucking mouth. That's all. How rude. Right? How rude. You pink flamingo and what was the word I used? Impersonator. There you go, you pink flamingo impersonator.
[00:45:19] Unknown:
Oh, shit.
[00:45:21] Duuude-Ron :
I rehearsed that, and I knew I was still gonna fuck it up.
[00:45:28] Rich Chelson:
You ever seen that movie?
[00:45:29] Duuude-Ron :
What movie? Yeah. I saw that movie. But what about this movie?
[00:45:34] Rich Chelson:
Well, the movie, Pink Flamingos.
[00:45:37] Duuude-Ron :
No. Never heard of it. It's John Waters' slick. Whoever the hell that is. Yeah. I was gonna say it. Ever seen Crab Babies?
[00:45:46] Rich Chelson:
Nope. Nope. Nope. Well, he's he's known for making trashy films. He actually takes pride in fact when he makes trashy films.
[00:45:54] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:45:55] Rich Chelson:
And, yeah. It's a it's a it it's it's a movie. I'll say that.
[00:46:03] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It was the well crybaby, I think, was probably Johnny Depp's worst
[00:46:08] Rich Chelson:
flaw. Oh, that no. That was an amazing movie. I love crybaby. Hatchet face and all.
[00:46:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I I know a couple of the characters, but I've never watched the movie. And do I intend on watching the movie? Hell to the no.
[00:46:25] Rich Chelson:
Well, that means I just gotta I gotta ping you down now and force you to watch it.
[00:46:31] Duuude-Ron :
You know what? That's fine. I just take my drugs and go to sleep.
[00:46:39] Rich Chelson:
I'm fading out.
[00:46:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But you probably wanna poke the fucking bear all the time. Thank god damn it. Thank god damn it. Hey. You missed the good part. Missed the good part. You're about to say, rare. Watch this. Hey. You missed the good part. Here. Let's rewind it so you can see what
[00:46:56] Rich Chelson:
or or notice you fall asleep, back it up about about five minutes, and then wait until you wake back up. Oh, hey. You're waiting again. Alright. Well, I went ahead and paused it for you.
[00:47:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You would, yeah, you would probably do that.
[00:47:11] Rich Chelson:
It'd be fun. Yeah.
[00:47:13] Duuude-Ron :
Nope. You're gonna watch Crybaby.
[00:47:16] Rich Chelson:
Hey. I've got some time.
[00:47:18] Duuude-Ron :
No. I saw the trailers, and when it when it first came out, I'm like, no. Just can't do it.
[00:47:27] Unknown:
You're saying he was good.
[00:47:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I was definitely good. I was you know, I couldn't wait for the trailers to get over. They were only thirty seconds. But, of course, they were on all the fucking time. I'm like, damn. Just when the fuck is this movie gonna die? That's the only thing I could think of. However, I wish they'd make a movie out of the book scratching on scratching on the eight ball. That would be a good movie. That it would be well, the author was from Lincoln, Nebraska, my hometown, and I've actually met him and got signed autographs of all of his books. Yeah. Not, you know, a major author, but it would be kind of in the realm of the outsiders is what the movie would loosely be that would so you guys get a picture, it would be something like the outsiders.
[00:48:34] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:48:36] Duuude-Ron :
But Ponyboy would be pretty much the only main character, and then everything else would be supporting characters. But it's a damn good book. I will say that. One of very, very, very, very few books that I will read. So what was the dog doing earlier, Brian, that was pissing you off
[00:48:59] Rich Chelson:
other than trying to sit on your face? My face. Just my head in my face is all. It's like, god. No. I don't need you in my face.
[00:49:10] Unknown:
You know, I think, Brian, I think it's something in here because Bella is like like like you know, I'm back here. Normally, Bella doesn't hang out back here with me in the computer room. Uh-huh. But, yeah, she's just, like, right here by my side and, you know, you know, wanting me to pet her constantly. I think it's something in the air.
[00:49:31] Duuude-Ron :
No. It's not something in the air. It is not something in the air. It's something in the breed. That's why I said, don't give her any cheese because then you'll have to pay the cheese tax.
[00:49:44] Unknown:
Well, I haven't given like I said, Bella doesn't In fact, I gave I gave Bella half a hot dog today.
[00:49:52] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh. It took her probably three minutes to eat it. But you if you give her a piece of cheese, she'll suck that up like a she's eating nothing flat. I don't know. And then and then then you'll have to be paying then you'll have to be paying the cheese tax from here on out.
[00:50:10] Unknown:
See, that's the thing. I don't know because that's the thing. Bella really doesn't ask for food when I'm in the kitchen. You know? She does not. It's crazy. And that's good. And that's cool. No. I'm not I'm not arguing about it, but I'm just saying it's, you know, because most dogs, you know, when you're making food yeah. Most dogs are like, yeah. I want I wanna eat what you're eating. You know? Yeah. That was Augie.
[00:50:35] Duuude-Ron :
That was Augie. And Augie did get cheese tax.
[00:50:41] Unknown:
Right.
[00:50:42] Duuude-Ron :
He heard that cheese wrapper being manipulated, oh, yeah. He was dead up in your shit. I mean, right there in your face, cheese tax, motherfucker. Cheese tax. Hey. No. He was hilarious. One day, I'll get another dog. I need to get a cheap dog.
[00:51:07] Unknown:
Yeah. You do.
[00:51:08] Rich Chelson:
Great thing to get cheap dogs.
[00:51:11] Duuude-Ron :
No. No? You know, if I honestly, if I would have to choose a breed, I'd choose the one that Rich chose, pit bull.
[00:51:21] Rich Chelson:
What pit bull? You're the pitty pitty? Mhmm.
[00:51:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. And then the third breeds,
[00:51:28] Rich Chelson:
as long as you as long as you exercise them and you socialize them.
[00:51:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:51:34] Unknown:
See, that's the thing. Any dog's like that. It's it's it's it's all in how you treat them.
[00:51:40] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. Same way with kids. If you're a racist, your kids will grow up to be racist.
[00:51:48] Unknown:
Right.
[00:51:49] Duuude-Ron :
Because it's not something they're born with.
[00:51:53] Unknown:
No. That's true. That is very true.
[00:51:56] Duuude-Ron :
So how's you know, I can't I think we talked about it last night, but the mayor of Chicago, you know, there's no crime, and there's no crime going on. It's a happy go lucky place, Chicago. Labor Day weekend, they had oh, the number was up.
[00:52:12] Rich Chelson:
It went up to Oh, yeah. Oh, so 100, wasn't it?
[00:52:16] Unknown:
That's
[00:52:17] Duuude-Ron :
The last one I heard was 81 shot, and eight died. Damn. That was Labor Day weekend. Now there's no crime in Chicago.
[00:52:31] Unknown:
Right. Well, I had saw I had saw, like, a little video of of her. It was it was on a short or some Facebook short of reel or whatever, something like that. But, anyway, she was saying that since Trump is not if if Trump would go after the gun manufacturers and and and the gun dealers, then that would cure violent crime in this country. And I'm thinking, are you that stupid lady? And she I mean, she literally is because it doesn't matter what you do to the makers or the gun dealers or to the law abiding gun owners because the criminals are still gonna get the guns.
[00:53:17] Rich Chelson:
Absolutely. Well, I mean You have all the gun we should be going over going after, Carvana for, vehicular homicides and, and and, you know
[00:53:29] Unknown:
Yeah. You're down here. For
[00:53:32] Rich Chelson:
Ace Hardware for, for hammered homicides using hammers.
[00:53:36] Duuude-Ron :
Or machetes.
[00:53:38] Unknown:
Right. Or an ax. Machetes. Yeah. Yeah. Or an ax. Yeah. I mean I mean, you know you know, if we're gonna go after the guns, let's fucking go after the carmakers. Let's go after fucking everything else that kills people. And, actually, knives kill more people than fucking guns do. Yeah. Look it up. Look it up. There are more knife related deaths than there are gun related deaths.
[00:54:03] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Because every single you know, I can't say every single, but ninety nine plus percent, everybody in United States has knives in their utensil drawer.
[00:54:16] Unknown:
Mhmm. Yeah.
[00:54:18] Duuude-Ron :
And I have some big knives in my utensil drawer. They may not be as sharp as riches, but they'll stab you all the same.
[00:54:30] Unknown:
Right.
[00:54:31] Duuude-Ron :
It's just like I got four four or five guns in this house. Never once has any of those guns jumped up and shot themselves.
[00:54:43] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. Yeah. They they haven't they haven't done that yet.
[00:54:48] Duuude-Ron :
No. So yeah. If they when they outlawed the guns, the only ones that'll have guns are the outlaws.
[00:54:56] Unknown:
Yep. I mean, that's and you see, that's the thing. You know? The freaking Democrats don't want to admit that. You know? And then and then when you bring up, well, let's go after the car manufacturers. You know? Because they tried going after the cigarette manufacturers, you know, blaming them for for all the smoking smoking related deaths. Yeah. No. You can't. It's a choice. It's people. Yeah. Exactly right. People.
[00:55:28] Duuude-Ron :
It is a choice.
[00:55:30] Unknown:
You know, I mean And
[00:55:32] Duuude-Ron :
I'm And you're never gonna outlaw tobacco. No.
[00:55:37] Unknown:
They have curtailed it, but you'll
[00:55:40] Duuude-Ron :
never outlaw it. Well, yeah, they curtailed and tax the fuck out of it.
[00:55:45] Unknown:
Right. But but, see, the thing is, the cigarette companies did not kill the Marlboro man. He chose it. Yeah. Just like everybody who smokes, they choose to. No one's holding a gun to their head. You know? But no. Those people don't they don't wanna see that and admit that. You know?
[00:56:09] Duuude-Ron :
Of course not. That's that there's no narrative in it then.
[00:56:14] Unknown:
Right. Exactly. Exactly. And that's just that's just wrong, I think.
[00:56:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. When you put narrative to everything instead of actually oh, let's let's, you know, let's talk about trying to fix shit instead of let's just talk about the narrative.
[00:56:35] Unknown:
Right. And see, that's the thing. You know? People people don't wanna do that because, oh, that means action will have to be taken, and no one wants to take responsibility for it. You know? Yeah. That's just exactly what it is.
[00:56:53] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. It is. Right? They it's too easy to blame the other person than it is to fucking get shit accomplished and fixed.
[00:57:05] Unknown:
Right? That's and and and that's exactly and that's exactly what it is. You know? Everyone wants to sit and talk about it for years and years and, oh oh, we need new laws. No. We just need to the laws are there.
[00:57:24] Duuude-Ron :
You just need to enforce the laws that are there. Yep. Oh, and this like, the the immigration and the CDL and all that shit? Mhmm. Trump doesn't need to write, and nobody needs to write new laws about that because the laws were written back when Johnson and Kennedy were in fucking office.
[00:57:45] Unknown:
Right.
[00:57:46] Duuude-Ron :
Those laws were written for illegal immigrants, and CDLs were written back in president Johnson's time frame.
[00:57:57] Unknown:
Yeah.
[00:57:58] Duuude-Ron :
Or Carter. Who came after Johnson?
[00:58:01] Rich Chelson:
That was Nixon. Right? Carter. Yeah. He came after Carter. Carter was before Reagan.
[00:58:08] Unknown:
Ford. Ford came after Nixon, and, Carter came after Ford.
[00:58:13] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. So it was right in that era that they did the law about immigrants and CDLs, but nobody well, Obama wrote an executive order that didn't abolish the law but didn't take any action.
[00:58:34] Unknown:
Right.
[00:58:35] Duuude-Ron :
And I can't remember what the fuck it was called. And now, oh, god forbid. You know, we're taking it because of that one incident of the u-turn on Florida. Well, that's that's the the spark that got the fire going, and don't have to write any laws. They're there. Just enforce them.
[00:58:59] Unknown:
Right? But oh, yeah. No. But, yeah, that's like when I was coming home from Kentucky. Coming through Alabama. Oh my god. Alabama had trucks pulled over like fucking crazy.
[00:59:11] Duuude-Ron :
Good.
[00:59:12] Unknown:
I probably saw, fuck, forty forty trucks from the top of Alabama down down through to Mobile pulled over.
[00:59:23] Duuude-Ron :
So I don't care who they're pulling over. They pull me over. Right. Okay. Now, obviously, I'm not gonna have to have an English comprehension quiz given to me. But, yeah, they're gonna fucking dig up in my truck, and they're gonna fucking give me do a level two or a level one inspection. Okay. I'm not above the law. But, yeah, that and, yeah, they should be hitting it. Okay. And it's not profiling because if you have all the dot right documentation, you know, all that other stuff, you know, you'll be sent on your merry way.
[01:00:04] Unknown:
DOT cops don't give a fuck, and and the judges don't either. If it's a CDL holder yeah. It, I mean, there's no profiling involved there. They just they just if you're driving a big truck and they wanna pull you over, they just do it. They're going to. Yep.
[01:00:21] Duuude-Ron :
Why? Because they can. Yep. It's a commercial vehicle on a public roadway. That's the only justification they need.
[01:00:31] Unknown:
Yep. That's it.
[01:00:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. But
[01:00:34] Unknown:
Yeah. No. It was just it was just crazy, and I I was I was I was driving by, and I'm like, yep. I ain't gotta worry about that.
[01:00:42] Rich Chelson:
No, Moss. Nope.
[01:00:44] Unknown:
I ain't gotta worry about that, and I just kept driving.
[01:00:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. You know what you should've done? It's honked and waved.
[01:00:52] Unknown:
Oh, hell. Most now most of them, they they was getting them on exit ramps. There was a few that that were on this on the shoulder of the road, but but that that was only, like, maybe two or three. Yeah. Right. Rest of them rest of them were on exit ramps.
[01:01:12] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. And that and that's something that I would do. I don't care if the next exit ramp is five miles down the road and DPS is behind me with the lights. I'll put on my flashers, and I'll continue to drive down the road until I can exit off the interstate. Right. So I'm not gonna have I'm not gonna have, you know, his life and my life in danger for a roadside inspection on the side of the fucking interstate. And guarantee, you know, he might hit the siren a couple times, you know, to let me know he's behind me, but I'll just keep going until there's an exit, and I can get off onto, you know, an access road.
Hey. Not a problem. We'll do that then. But I'm not gonna fucking pull over on the side, you know, On the shoulder on the interstate, fuck that shit. Not if I'm hauling you know? Let's see. What was it? Last last Wednesday, I was hauling about 10,000 pounds worth of acetylene.
[01:02:16] Unknown:
Well, I mean, you see, that's the thing. A lot of trucks think they can't. You know, they have to stay on the pavement. If it hasn't rained for a month, you can half pull on the grass and you're not gonna sink. But a lot of people think, oh, I'm gonna sink. I'm 80,000 pounds. No. You're not. The ground's a little tougher than that.
[01:02:39] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And the only reason why I'm going off the road is because I don't wanna fucking get the truck back to the truck hit with fucking having flammables. No. Thank you.
[01:02:50] Unknown:
Well, see see, the thing is, even on an exit ramp or something like that, you can still get hit because people don't don't fucking pay attention to nothing.
[01:02:59] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Well, that's very true. That's why I get to a as safe as a point as possible if I'm, you know, traveling down the interstate and just one pops up behind me. Now up North Of Italy, they have an old rest stop that they do level one inspections, and there's the exit, the off or the on ramp right before that rest station. You know, if you see a DPS car there, yep, you're just going into that rest stop. Right. I'd do it anyway even if it wasn't a sting, and I'm getting off the damn road. And they you know, once you do that, then they know and they appreciate what you're doing.
[01:03:48] Unknown:
Yeah. But it doesn't score no points with them because if they find something wrong, they still gotta write your ticket.
[01:03:56] Duuude-Ron :
And that is absolutely fine. If they find something wrong, they're gonna find something wrong regardless if I'm right on the shoulder of the interstate or if I'm on the access road. That's fine. At least nobody's gonna fucking get the the chance of somebody getting killed is a lot less. Yeah. But, you know, if he finds something, he finds something. Now I try not to, you know, let them find anything.
[01:04:23] Unknown:
Well, I wouldn't either.
[01:04:25] Duuude-Ron :
That's But, again, when you have players. Well and my last level one, I was telling you guys about that. My ABS splitter on the trailer had a slight audible air leak. My mechanic had a hard time finding it, but they found one. They wrote me up, and that's fine. You know?
[01:04:48] Unknown:
Yeah. You had told us about that one.
[01:04:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So like I said, I'm gonna have a I don't have a problem when I get pulled over. Here's the document, sir. Do what you gotta do because you're gonna do it anyway.
[01:05:00] Unknown:
Right.
[01:05:03] Duuude-Ron :
O'Brien's awfully quiet this week.
[01:05:06] Rich Chelson:
Stuff in my mouth.
[01:05:07] Unknown:
Oh, he's stuffing his mouth. Okay. Yeah.
[01:05:10] Rich Chelson:
Mizzou makes good food, so I'm I'm consuming it.
[01:05:14] Unknown:
Well, what well, what did she make?
[01:05:17] Rich Chelson:
Well, I'm not sure exactly what it's called. It's got, asparagus, green hamburger meat, potatoes, cheese, and a whole lot of yum.
[01:05:27] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Sounds like a sounds like kinda like a calabash if it was seafood. I would call it shepherd's pie.
[01:05:37] Rich Chelson:
No. No. It's not, it's not mashed taters.
[01:05:40] Duuude-Ron :
Well, as long as it as long as it sets well with the taste buds, who gives a fuck?
[01:05:47] Rich Chelson:
Right? Oh, absolutely. It is just quite scrumdiddly umptuous and and marvelous as it always is.
[01:05:55] Unknown:
So Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're just saying that so when mama hear hears this podcast later, you can score points. I I
[01:06:05] Rich Chelson:
know what you're doing, Brian. Well, you know, I mean, never heard to throw that some extra in case I go off and screw up somewhere else. You know? Right. Right. You know what I mean? Maybe I'll end up today with, you know, a with a plus one.
[01:06:19] Unknown:
Right. I mean, no. I don't blame you, dude. Hey. Score them brownie points anyway you can get them. I just I just know what you're doing. No. It's it's good. I bet it. You know? I mean, I I like honestly, I like asparagus.
[01:06:35] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[01:06:37] Unknown:
But you see, then again, I also like brussels sprouts.
[01:06:40] Rich Chelson:
Well, I've actually heard something interesting about brussels sprouts.
[01:06:45] Unknown:
What's that?
[01:06:46] Rich Chelson:
That the brussels sprouts that we are eating now Mhmm. Are not the same brussels sprouts from the fifties, fifties and sixties.
[01:06:57] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:06:59] Rich Chelson:
You ain't gonna eat dog, then you ain't gonna I ain't gonna sit there and listen to you, sit there and growl just because you think it's something to do.
[01:07:06] Unknown:
I was gonna say, they were eating dog is brussels sprouts in the fifties.
[01:07:13] Duuude-Ron :
You know, that's about the way I comprehended that as well. I know. It's just Rich.
[01:07:20] Unknown:
Yeah. It took me a second to be like, oh, okay. He paused to talk with the dog first. Yeah.
[01:07:27] Rich Chelson:
Tell the dogs not to talk to. But oh, yeah. So now back in the, fifties and sixties and and earlier, the brussels sprouts actually had a had a different flavor profile. And the there's two different types of of compounds that are in in brussels sprouts that are what give it the the bitter flavor that most people would turn off by. And in the mid seventies to eighties, they actually started growing a different type of brussels sprout that had that was able to produce more brussels sprouts on higher straighter stocks because those stocks are easier to harvest.
And so in doing so, those those Yeah. Higher straighter stocked brussels sprouts actually have more of the, of the bitter compounds in them. And so they've so that's why nowadays, so many people don't like brussels sprouts because they are so bitter, and that's because of the wanting to produce a more brussel sprouts as opposed to bit producing better brussel sprouts.
[01:08:49] Unknown:
Right. Well, you see, the thing is, those people that that don't like them because of the bitterness, they're just not using enough butter. Not using enough bacon grease. Well, that too. I mean I mean, come on now.
[01:09:04] Rich Chelson:
That's about the only way I can actually eat them. Is it if they're they're drowned in in in bacon grease, okay, then then we're good.
[01:09:12] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. You so we're genetically changing the brussels sprout to a different gene of brussels sprout to chemically alterate it with bacon grease and then chemically alterate alterating it again with butter, well, fuck. We just there you go.
[01:09:33] Unknown:
Hold it. I use real butter, dude.
[01:09:36] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Not that margarine.
[01:09:37] Unknown:
I I don't I don't use margarine. I don't I don't use that tub butter. I use real butter.
[01:09:43] Rich Chelson:
The Oh, y'all hear speaking of butter, y'all hear what, what they're what they're trying to do? What? Butter your buns? No. They're making they have they have got and I heard this off of, no agenda. And Bill Gates is doing is is funded a research on making, basically, version four point o butt margarine. And what that four point o margarine is is using using, what is it?
[01:10:22] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know.
[01:10:23] Unknown:
Oh, sorry. You're in it's one molecule away from plastic. Yes. But but what it was,
[01:10:29] Rich Chelson:
version one was in in World War two during rationing. A scientist actually went off and stopped begging. What?
[01:10:40] Duuude-Ron :
Are you oh, what?
[01:10:42] Rich Chelson:
Fucking dogs are sitting there. They were two not even two inches. They're, like, on touching my my damn plate with their nose going, hey. Hey. Hey. Well, it's a fuck you. You ain't getting shit now.
[01:10:56] Unknown:
So but Mhmm. Girl,
[01:11:01] Rich Chelson:
when you can't when you ain't willing to well, to be patient, you ain't gonna get shit. So but, anyhow, version one back in World War two during the rations, the the there was a scientist who actually figured out that you can modify coal oil into becoming a edible fat, and that became the margarine, first type of margarine. And then they kinda shifted. Version two point o become oleo, which is margarine from animal fat, hydrogenated hydrogenated Possible fat. May but turned it into Olio, which is just a type of margarine, which is a little more natural closer to real butter than than anything else.
Then you had version three, which was which was vegetable oil, and they figured out how to to oxygenate that so that it became a edible edible oil. And so you've got the margarine that we have today that I can't believe it's not butter type of butter stuff. Well, Bill Gates Institute has decided we need to figure out how and they found out a way to turn carbon into margarine.
[01:12:28] Duuude-Ron :
Turn what into margarine?
[01:12:30] Rich Chelson:
Carbon. Carbon. Blackstone. Carbon. You know, carbon dioxide. Carbon. You know? Okay. The the the element that every living being in the on the planet Earth is made of. Alright. They figured out how to take carbon and turn it into a into a margarine, into an edible butter spread that that, people could consume. It would decrease the the the carbon count in in the air and all that. But if you'd really look at it, you take your your hydro you you've got hydrogenated carbon particles. You've got hydro hydrogen and oxygen. You've got the the oxygenated hydrocarbons.
So, basically, what they're doing is they're making petroleum jelly and turning it into a making it a little more firmer. Adding some butter type of flavors so people might accidentally like it. But it's Yeah. Just I mean, it's like yeah. Let's feed everybody oil bad, so let's feed them oil type of thing. And it's just a a such a a Yeah. A weird come along to, to try to draw people you know, to come up with something different. It's like, oh, well, you know, can't eat butter because, you know, butter is made from cows and, you know, for whatever reason, you can't
[01:14:05] Duuude-Ron :
get Well, why not? Genetically making meat, which has now been they're fixing to ban that in The United States.
[01:14:16] Rich Chelson:
They're working at it. Yeah. There's I mean, you got the
[01:14:19] Duuude-Ron :
What Bill Gates needs to do is just fucking go to his $180,000,000 residence and just fucking sit there and stop funding all of this bullshit.
[01:14:39] Rich Chelson:
Well, but that's no fun.
[01:14:42] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Somebody just needs to take a knife to his or it is to, his tendons right behind his, ankles.
[01:14:52] Rich Chelson:
No.
[01:14:53] Duuude-Ron :
That wouldn't shut him up, but, you know, that would I think that'd be I think that'd be just funny as hell.
[01:14:58] Rich Chelson:
Well, well, at the same time, I don't think that would be too good of a thing to to to do. But, yeah, just why he thinks he's got a medal with absolutely everything is,
[01:15:12] Duuude-Ron :
because he has god complex.
[01:15:15] Rich Chelson:
Oh, that's a good reason to put it. Yeah. Because he has so much money,
[01:15:20] Duuude-Ron :
he can play God.
[01:15:22] Unknown:
Well He thinks he
[01:15:24] Duuude-Ron :
can. Yeah. Yes. You're right. He thinks he can, but I can't wait for the day that he goes and meets that gentleman and finds finds his fate.
[01:15:35] Unknown:
Honestly, I don't think he even thinks about it.
[01:15:38] Duuude-Ron :
I know he doesn't He doesn't think he'll he's
[01:15:41] Rich Chelson:
he's one of those that's trying to find different ways of living forever. So
[01:15:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Ain't gonna happen.
[01:15:49] Unknown:
Oh, I got a recipe I gotta try.
[01:15:53] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah.
[01:15:54] Unknown:
Matt sent it to me, and he found it on TikTok. It's bacon and pancakes, but it's all made in one pan. Oh, there you go. Yeah. You cook bacon up. And in in the video, it said you only use six ounces of bacon. And I'm thinking, if six ounces is good, why not just use a whole fucking package? Because a package is is not even a pound anymore. It's only twice. It's like 12 ounces. So use a whole package. You know? And then, you know, you drain out some of the grease, not all of it, but some of it. Put the bake you know, keep the bacon in there, and then you mix up, pancake mix and few other things and then pour it in there and then throw it in the oven. I'm like, yeah. I gotta try that shit.
I'm gonna be a fat boy for a couple days.
[01:16:49] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[01:16:51] Unknown:
Because that just sounds good.
[01:16:54] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, you know it's better than bacon. Right?
[01:16:57] Unknown:
More bacon.
[01:16:58] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I have sluts buckling lutely.
[01:17:02] Unknown:
And hence why hence why I'm gonna eat well, you see the see the thing is the bacon I get is like the ends and pieces, and I get it in one and a half pound packs. So I'm a wind up cooking all the bacon, but I'm not gonna use it all in with the pancakes. I use quite a bit of it, but, I won't use all of it.
[01:17:26] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you're right. You just and crumple that up and make your after eating the you know, that dish, and you said about being a fat ass, you know, you could take the rest of that bacon, crumple it up in the beets, and put it on your fucking salad.
[01:17:43] Unknown:
Yeah. No. I just I just I just eat the bacon by itself. I mean, I mean, if if if I do happen to have salad, oh, shit. Yeah. I will I will put the rest of it on salad. I ain't scared. But, yeah, I'll probably just, eat the rest of the bacon. So
[01:18:02] Duuude-Ron :
but yeah. I Yeah. Well, yeah, have it have it as a side dish to your main course. Right?
[01:18:08] Unknown:
Right. Right. But yeah. No. I gotta I gotta run to the store and because I don't have pancake mix. I mean, I could make my own pancake mix.
[01:18:20] Duuude-Ron :
It doesn't take Yeah. You ain't you ain't gonna fucking run to the store. You ain't even gonna run down to the to the end of your driveway. No. You're right. You gotta run to the store. I'm gonna drive.
[01:18:34] Unknown:
And that includes to the end of the driveway.
[01:18:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And, you know, it's so funny that everybody wants the closest parking spot to say, okay, Walmart, Target. And where do they end up walking? All the way to the back of the store.
[01:18:50] Unknown:
Right.
[01:18:51] Duuude-Ron :
So what was the purpose? What was the purpose?
[01:18:55] Unknown:
There were so many of driving
[01:18:58] Duuude-Ron :
and trying to find that closest parking slot to walk all the way to the back of the store.
[01:19:04] Unknown:
And buy an 85 inch TV. Yeah. What's up with that?
[01:19:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I need to let you know, if you put four of those and they're they're frameless, then you would have a 170 inches by 85. Yeah. 170 inches by whatever. Yeah. That'd take up the whole fucking my whole goddamn wall. Right? Right. I bet you I bet you could probably game on that pretty damn good.
[01:19:34] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Well, you see, actually, though. Right? You see you see, that's the thing. Smart people, and I think now they have made a couple 100 inch TVs, but they never took off. You know why? Mhmm. Because they started making four k projectors. All you need is a 100.
[01:19:56] Duuude-Ron :
That may also have panels that you can build a television whatever size you want, and it say, like, 40 panels all put together.
[01:20:10] Unknown:
Yeah. But, yeah, that's, yeah, that's the thing. Freaking projectors have are, are a real big thing. So if you have a wall that's, you know, a 120 inches, you've got a 120 inch TV. Just throw it up on the wall.
[01:20:27] Duuude-Ron :
And, you know, having a four g projector is absolutely great unless you have if you don't have fucking spackled walls.
[01:20:37] Unknown:
Well, you would have to sand them down and
[01:20:40] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But the okay. The four g is only gonna be as good of a quality as your fucking wall is.
[01:20:47] Unknown:
Well, yeah. Yeah. You might have to, smooth your wall out. Mine are orange peel.
[01:20:54] Duuude-Ron :
So no. I'm you know, what is mine? 60. Fuck. I'd have to actually measure it. I think it's a 65. I'm good with that. Yeah. I can game just as well on, you know, a 65 inch.
[01:21:09] Unknown:
I do. I'm happy with mine.
[01:21:14] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I know. But if you had a 178 inch, man, you you could damn near fucking step into that motherfucking game then.
[01:21:22] Unknown:
Nah. I think I'm good.
[01:21:25] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Because then you'd have to actually run around and hold all all that shit with what was that game that you're playing? Call the Call of Duty. You actually have to haul that all that shit around. Well, there's a deal with that.
[01:21:41] Unknown:
No. Hell no. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. See see, when I play see, when I play Call of Duty, it's just me playing. When I play breakpoint, I've got I've got three other squad members that are, you know AI. Yeah. Yeah. AI. And, yeah, those guys help me out. So, you know, I've got my guns and stuff. I let them handle the rest of the stuff.
[01:22:05] Duuude-Ron :
It ain't gonna work in the real fucking world. It wouldn't work if you stepped your foot into that game itself.
[01:22:14] Unknown:
Oh, no.
[01:22:16] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, you might have some AI people that are right there to support you and carry some of that stuff. Who knows?
[01:22:25] Unknown:
Well, I mean, they they are they are they are making them robots that can, you know, traverse many different terrains, and they're made to carry shit.
[01:22:37] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah, that's very true.
[01:22:39] Unknown:
So, I mean, it's it is possible.
[01:22:42] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. And they already got fucking AI dogs. Yeah. Little fucking Pekingese or whatever the fuck they are. Why somebody would buy a fucking fake dog?
[01:22:56] Unknown:
Well, there's no mess to clean up, dude. Think about that.
[01:23:00] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. There there's no mess to clean up, but you know what? There's no love to be received.
[01:23:08] Unknown:
Well, true. This is true. I mean, there's there's no well, I would say there's no vet bills, but there'd be IT bills. Yeah. And IT bills cost a whole lot more in vet bills. But yeah. No. You're right. Because I don't think those well, robots haven't haven't come as far enough as to, have robots with, empathy in them. Yeah. They are working on it, though. I do know that. They are working on it.
[01:23:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. If I'm gonna have a dog, I'm gonna have one that I may have to clean up after if they make a mess in the house and also clean up the fucking yard too. But, you know, hey.
[01:23:58] Unknown:
It is what it is. I just mow the yard.
[01:24:01] Rich Chelson:
Exactly. Just mulch it up, turn it into fertilizer.
[01:24:05] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah, I I can agree on that. Yeah. I mean Until you until you mow it, and then you walk out there and step in a great big turd that you tried to make fertilizer out of.
[01:24:22] Rich Chelson:
It happens.
[01:24:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right. It does happen. Happens. I've done it. Right. Like, what I'm sure, you know, and I bet you did it having bare feet.
[01:24:32] Rich Chelson:
Oh, no. No. No. I don't mow the lawn barefoot.
[01:24:35] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. Oh, well no. Well, I'm talking about after you get done mowing and then you're walking bare feet. I'm I'd step in it and it'd be be wet enough to where I slide.
[01:24:47] Rich Chelson:
Like, ah, son of a bitch. Damn it.
[01:24:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's that's

Let the wheels drive over it. And, besides, my yard's huge.
[01:25:04] Duuude-Ron :
Well, it's a lot bigger than mine. That that yeah. I think your yard is probably at least three times the size of mine as minimum.
[01:25:14] Unknown:
Really? Damn. Yeah. Mhmm. That's crazy. But, yeah, I gotta go to the store and get a few things, and I'll I'll probably wind up making that bacon and then pancakes thing this weekend because I'll be have to

[01:26:02] Duuude-Ron :
Definitely too much work.
[01:26:04] Unknown:
But because because when I was married to Robin, we had a parakeet. Named him Wilbur. Oh, fucker. Oh, brother. He would sit on my shoulder.
[01:26:15] Duuude-Ron :
Right?
[01:26:16] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, the that's why we named him that. But he would sit on my shoulder, watch me work on my computer, and then, that little ship would sit there and move down my arm. And I'm like, don't you do it, you son of a bitch. And and he'd stop. He'd let me look around. And then he when he got close enough, he would jump on my desk, run across my damn computer, and then and then just run to the other side. I mean, it was like, you son of a bitch. Because he would push keys as as as he was running across my desk, like, my laptop.
And I'm like and and, I mean, he'd do it all the time. Well, shit. And it was funny when I was when I was home, I'd whistle to him. Right? And, you know, get him to whistle back, he wouldn't do it. But if I called my ex wife and talked to her on the phone and he heard my voice, he'd start whistling.
[01:27:20] Rich Chelson:
Uh-huh.
[01:27:21] Unknown:
The exact tone that I would whistle to him at home. It wouldn't do it when I was there. It was only if I was gone. Mhmm. Weird. But, yeah, the wife wife let him out. She called me crying one day, and she she's in the bathroom with him for some reason. I think giving him bath or something, and she walked out of the bathroom. And somehow he wound up on the toilet and fell in and drowned. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Oh. Oh, yeah. She was tore up over that.

You know, I was just gonna jump in and back the Jeep up. Oh, no. So I had to take her around the block, come out, back the Jeep in, you know, all the way in the carport, and then her and Jim was coming over with them fence panels. And, yeah, Bella jumped back in the back of the Jeep. She's like, I ain't getting out till till we go for another ride. And I was like, no. Get out. And she wouldn't get out until Dana fuck fuck went over and talked to her, and then then she got out. I'm like, you love hammer.

Yeah. So
[01:31:36] Unknown:
she'll be happy because, you know, that's eight miles away. So she'll be in the Jeep for a little bit. So when we get back, I shouldn't have a problem getting her out. Shouldn't.
[01:31:49] Duuude-Ron :
Hopefully not. But once she gets out, get all the doors shut. Right. And you now know that you cannot fucking go naked anymore.

[01:32:00] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Okay. Well, why can't I? Well, if spell it you take Bella out and she can get in that fucking Jeep. We're going for a ride, motherfucker.
[01:32:15] Unknown:
Well, you do have a point. Because, I was I was I was thinking about going naked. Probably taking the top off tomorrow because this they're not saying anything about rain for, like, the next week.
[01:32:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I bet your Bella would be fucking just happy as hell if you took the top off that Jeep.
[01:32:38] Unknown:
Oh, she probably would. I will I will run a cord between my rollers and Yeah. You know, tie her in. Yeah. You know? I will do that. But and yeah. Yeah. You're right. Because, yeah, if she sees the Jeep all open and everything, she'd be like, come on. Let's go for a ride. No one is. Uh-huh. She'd be like, yep. Let's go. We're going for a ride.

eventually, maybe, essentially.
[01:33:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But it's a good partnership.
[01:33:33] Unknown:
Right. You have to be somewhat careful because I got a feeling she'd go ride with anybody. You know?
[01:33:42] Rich Chelson:
Good chance. Yeah. Yeah. I I can see that.
[01:33:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Have when you got her, was she chipped?

Right.
[01:34:09] Unknown:
I mean, I I hope I don't have to ever do that, but, you know yeah. No. They the pound make sure every animal is fixed and and and, microchipped.
[01:34:23] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[01:34:24] Unknown:
Because this this is the first animal that I've ever had that's been microchipped.
[01:34:30] Duuude-Ron :
Well, the only one we had that was microchipped was Auggie.
[01:34:34] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:34:35] Duuude-Ron :
All the rest of them you know? Well, like Tinkerbell, she was the last one that we had. Maybe every once in a great while, she would take herself for a walk.
[01:34:51] Unknown:
Right.
[01:34:53] Duuude-Ron :
And I think the furthest she got the last time it happened, because I wasn't paying attention, she got, like, about five houses down. And she was still in the yard. She wasn't she never hit the street. She was still in the yard, but five houses down. Mhmm. But for the most part, she did my next door neighbors up to their driveway, the curb, my driveway. That's where she hung out. Okay. And she was she was never on a leash.
[01:35:29] Unknown:
Right.
[01:35:31] Duuude-Ron :
So Oh, I get it. She knew her limits, but every once in a while, she'd be like, you know what? I'm just gonna take myself for a walk. Right. And she won.
[01:35:43] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Freaking Bella saw her first turtle today. Yeah. It was a it was a box turtle. And, oh, yeah. She had to sniff it and everything like that, and and, she tried to kinda open her mouth, I guess, and and pick it up, and I wouldn't let her. You know? I was like, you better watch out. You get bit, honey. And so I I didn't I didn't let her go too far. Uh-huh. Hey. Come on. Then she lost interest.
[01:36:18] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. She like, okay. Thing I gotta do now
[01:36:21] Unknown:
then. Right. But, yeah, she and and the other night, when I was walking Bella, there was a stray cat right out in the middle of the street fixing to walk in my yard and Bella saw. And, yeah, that cat didn't hang around. Yeah. And it it just it just said, nope. I'm not coming in the yard. I'm a stay right here in the street. And, you know, I I mean, I I honestly, I still don't think Bella would hurt the cat. Bella just wants to sniff one is what it is, but I'm not sure. You know? No one
[01:37:01] Duuude-Ron :
that any cat is gonna really allow that in any shape or form. Right. They're gonna say, get, fuck out of my bubble butter.
[01:37:12] Unknown:
I don't you know, I I mean, I've I've known a couple cats that they didn't give a care about dogs, but but they had been raised well, some Oh, yeah. Outdoor cats, but they had been raised around dogs. You know? Yeah. So, yeah, the these cats, if a dog was around, they're like, yeah. So I don't care.

Right. And they do very quickly.
[01:37:56] Duuude-Ron :
That's good. Very
[01:37:57] Unknown:
very quickly.
[01:37:59] Duuude-Ron :
Well, it's too bad I don't have a BB gun because then a lot of the cats in my neighborhood would not be in the neighborhood anymore.
[01:38:06] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:38:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. If they go to somebody else's neighborhood, that's fine. Just as long as it ain't my neighborhood.
[01:38:13] Unknown:
Yes. They're okay.
[01:38:15] Duuude-Ron :
I'm not too much of a cat person.

You know? I mean, he's like, you dumbass. You shouldn't have said a word, or you should have rephrased your statement. But I saw that, and I just I just had to laugh. I was like

I just can't wait till he fucking get something on Adam Schiff and fucking put his ass away.
[01:43:50] Unknown:
They've got enough. They could do it anytime they want it. They just need to get it done. They just end up having to incriminate themselves at the same time. Right.
[01:43:59] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Because I'm sure if they charge them, Adam Schiff, he'd fucking be like, you wanna make a deal? Everybody down. It's called Yeah. You wanna make a deal? Destruction. Yep. You wanna make a deal? Here's this person, this person, this person. This is what they got. You know? Take them all the fuck down. Right. I don't give a shit What party you're in? If you're fucking corrupt, time to fucking go.

[01:44:34] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I may not be very good at computers, but I'm pretty you know, I ain't corrupt.
[01:44:41] Unknown:
Right.
[01:44:42] Duuude-Ron :
So I think I'd probably do a pretty good job at something. Secretariat, whatever to fuck. Yeah. You just have to find the people that are not corrupt.
[01:44:56] Unknown:
You'd not put that.
[01:44:58] Duuude-Ron :
I know. Because it sure the fuck ain't anybody in Gen z. And the bad thing about that is fucking they'll be taking care of me when I'm in the fucking nursing home. Oh, there's the I can't remember. There's one family that owns, like, two, three hundred nursing homes, and they are short staffing those nursing homes on purpose.
[01:45:25] Unknown:
Why is that?
[01:45:26] Duuude-Ron :
You know, I didn't get I didn't hear as to why, but they are short staffing the the nursing homes because they can. But I don't know. And I don't know why. I can't remember why they said, but, yeah, they're they're fucking underneath the, microscope right now with all their nursing homes. Oh, and and they're possibly gonna get indicted for Medicaid or Medicare and Social Security fraud.
[01:46:06] Unknown:
It wouldn't surprise me.
[01:46:08] Duuude-Ron :
You know, and that why? If you got that much money to own several 100 nursing homes and you're gonna be like that to all of them, you know, that shows the fucking that shows your character that, you know, the elderly are just another fucking piece of meat that they can take money from Right. And extort.
[01:46:36] Rich Chelson:
Well, it's not necessarily the the elderly that they could take the money from because most of the elderly that go into nursing homes so that they can actually go into nursing homes, they have to actually they actually have to be destitute
[01:46:54] Duuude-Ron :
due to, Well yeah. If if you are in a nursing home and being paid for those services, your net worth has to be less than $8,000.
[01:47:08] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:47:09] Duuude-Ron :
And why is that?
[01:47:11] Rich Chelson:
Because if you got more of that, then you can actually afford your own you can afford your own Partly.
[01:47:19] Duuude-Ron :
Partly. Because $8,000, that's what it costs for a funeral,
[01:47:24] Rich Chelson:
roughly. It's a little more for a funeral these days.
[01:47:28] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. But that's why you're allowed, you know, to have your combined assets no more than $8,000. Uh-huh. But, yeah, a funeral actually costs more than $8,000, but, you know, that's the reason why.
[01:47:45] Unknown:
I just tell them to fire up the barbecue grill and cook some ham. Damn right.
[01:47:49] Duuude-Ron :
Damn right. Put a skewer up my ass.
[01:47:52] Unknown:
There you go. I don't know if I'd do that, dude. Just saying.
[01:47:56] Rich Chelson:
But I guess Well, we don't do it a little kink. Just like Yeah. Yeah.
[01:48:03] Duuude-Ron :
Figuratively. However, yeah, just fucking burn my ass up. Hell, you don't even have to fucking put me in an urn. Put me in a goddamn fucking what was that coffee can that Morgan Freeman was in the movie and Jack Nicholson.
[01:48:21] Unknown:
Buckets. What was it, Brian?
[01:48:24] Duuude-Ron :
Bucket list. Bucket list. Bucket list. What was the name of the coffee can that they had their ashes put into?
[01:48:31] Rich Chelson:
I don't know. Probably just pull Chop a
[01:48:34] Duuude-Ron :
chop a nut.
[01:48:35] Rich Chelson:
Oh, chock full of nuts.
[01:48:37] Duuude-Ron :
Chock full of nuts. Yeah. That's all. Just put me in one of those fucking coffee cans and, you know, I'm good because I ain't gonna give a fuck. I don't need it anymore. So deal with what you wanna do. But, yeah, however much it costs to fucking torch my ass, and I'll make my own fucking urn before I die. Well, I made my father do that? Put me in a cardboard tube and
[01:49:05] Unknown:
throw me out with the trash.
[01:49:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. I made my father in law's urn. Right. That's cool. You know, those old 18 style casket? Yeah. I made one of those. It was about, oh, 14 inches long by about I don't know, five to six inches wide for the shoulder area.
[01:49:32] Unknown:
Yep.
[01:49:33] Duuude-Ron :
Made it out of walnut walnut mahogany. I don't fucking remember. However, I still have enough wood in there to make my own.
[01:49:42] Unknown:
That's cool. Yeah. I won't I won't I won't go to all that trouble. I I just I wanna be dead. I'm not gonna care.
[01:49:51] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly.
[01:49:52] Unknown:
You know? I seriously, I I'm not gonna care.
[01:49:58] Duuude-Ron :
Well and that's very true. And you know what? If, they bury my lashes in the backyard, Guess what? They'll no they'll no longer have to pay taxes, and the house will stay in the family until there's no more family.
[01:50:17] Unknown:
Right. But, you'd have to check the laws to see if it's it's legal to do that.
[01:50:24] Duuude-Ron :
Well, they tell me I can do whatever the fuck I want with my property.
[01:50:29] Rich Chelson:
So my property. It's the state's property. They just they just rent it to you.
[01:50:34] Duuude-Ron :
Well, that's true too.
[01:50:37] Unknown:
Yeah. You're right. This is why this is why I didn't buy a house for a long, long time because no matter how much land you own, if you don't pay them property taxes, they'll take it from you.
[01:50:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:50:50] Unknown:
So now now since now I'm in this house, I don't have to pay property taxes. That might be a little different, but the town or the state or the county might have rules on, you know you know, if I can bury a human here
[01:51:06] Rich Chelson:
and be Yeah. Well to the gulf. Yeah. Inside probably have. Inside of, inside the city limits. Yeah. They probably got some. Usually, you can have make, like, family.
[01:51:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Family burial site.
[01:51:21] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Out in the, like, out in the country. I mean, I I know in Oklahoma, my that's where my grandma's ashes were were buried there on on on their property.
[01:51:35] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, we'll say in, Southeastern Kentucky, oh my god. They got cemeteries freaking everywhere.
[01:51:44] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[01:51:45] Unknown:
But but you see, those those cemeteries, those are mostly just family cemeteries. Right. Yeah. You know? Because I mean I I mean, if you look on Google Maps at Southeast Southeast Kentucky, they list quite a few cemeteries, you know, you know, different names, of course. And they're they're normally fairly small, but, yeah, that's that's a family cemetery. And it's Yeah. And it's on on the people's lands. You know?
[01:52:17] Duuude-Ron :
Well, in talking about taxes, here you go. Temple and Killeen Mhmm. Just raised property tax again. You better get your 100%. I well, let me finish the story, and then you can say that again because they have so many veterans that have 100% disability rating that they're losing millions and millions of dollars of taxes from property tax because of all the veterans that have a 100% disability.
[01:53:01] Unknown:
Yeah. It's bullshit.
[01:53:03] Duuude-Ron :
And just one of the one of whoever in the fucking what the hell you call it? The board or the fucking who's the local? The city council? Mhmm. One of the city councilmen to make that's the statement they made. Public statement. We're losing so much revenue because of all the people that have 100% disability rating that we're losing millions and millions of tax dollars. So we're gonna raise taxes again.
[01:53:33] Unknown:
Yeah. No. They they just they just needed something that that, they could grasp onto and and make it sound plausible. They just wanted to raise property taxes, but they needed a reason.
[01:53:47] Rich Chelson:
And that's the best reason that Property properties are actually starting to fall there in Texas. There's actually signs that there's fixing there's a good chance that there might be a, a housing collapse in Texas, Florida, and a couple of the other couple of the other states. Okay. Why? Why? That, I haven't been able to grasp as to why.
[01:54:11] Duuude-Ron :
You know, it's not because it ain't because of all the fucking neighborhoods they're building in Temple. Damn. They probably got about 20 neighborhoods going up in Temple right now. Not houses, neighborhoods.
[01:54:27] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well, that can't be what what the, the origin of it is is that, you know, you get you got a shit ton of the wackadoodle, liberals that have hang been hanging out in in Texas. And now they're getting tired of all the, of how the the the state's being run, and so they wanna go try to go back and try a a liberal utopia, you know, or more closer to what they what they would deem as a utopia.
[01:55:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Then they need to take their motherfucking asses back to California or Washington or New York, wherever the fuck they came from, and go to fuck back. That's what they need to do. Yep. Go leave leave fucking Florida, leave Oklahoma, Take your ass back to California where you're happy because you're miserable.
[01:55:26] Rich Chelson:
Just because everyone else likes it here, and you die you think you ought to you ought to make everybody else miserable. Just kinda Yep.
[01:55:35] Unknown:
Yeah. And that's the thing, though. When they move, they still wanna just like the illegal immigrants that come into this country, they wanna bring their culture and all like that with them. It's like, no. There's a reason why you moved.
[01:55:52] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Yeah. If you like if you like your culture so great, go back. Exactly. Go back from where you came from. But that's so mean.
[01:56:04] Rich Chelson:
You should you should be more tolerant to us. Yeah. I know. No? No. Not that you wanna be tolerated, then go someplace where they tolerate you. Don't force everybody else to tolerate you. Right. You know? Yeah. You the price to go live in California is that you pay shit tons and shit tons of money for a property, and then you pay shit tons and shit tons of of taxes for all the free shit that you think you get because you're not actually getting any free shit.
[01:56:37] Unknown:
But they have the appearance of free shit, so that's why they go for it. Then they bitch when they find out they're actually paying for it.
[01:56:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Listen. We ain't gonna get on fucking section eight food stamps, that topic, because then I'd definitely get riled up. You know? Again, thieves. Oh, I thought this was for life, or you can't take that $3,000 a month and, you know, food stamps away from me because I have six kids, and I don't wanna work. Right. You know what? Guess what? Go out and get yourself a motherfucking job.
[01:57:24] Rich Chelson:
As I was driving home from, Pottsville yesterday, I would listen to podcast. I don't listen to it often because a lot of times, it's just a bunch of freaking nonsense, but a lot of folks were talking about it this weekend at or, well, this week. And it is Jubilee, and they had a a capitalist. I can't think of his name at top of my head, but it basically, what it is is it's called surround they do what's called a surrounded episode, and they'll have one, like, capitalist and twenty twenty anti capitalist. And so, basically, they they take turns.
The the anti capitalist take turns going up and seeing if they can do a I gotcha and try to have a debate with, with the this capitalist. And this guy was a this guy was amazing because, I mean, he was a multimillionaire. And one of the things they would would like one guy was like, I I have submitted my, my resume to, to, 700 over 700 different, businesses, and I can't get anybody to hire me. Blah blah blah blah. And just complaining that he wasn't being I'm just gonna alright. Well, I'll tell you what. What do you do? And I think he I forget exactly. He's like, well, actually, I can't remember what it was. So it he's like, I I transportation. It's like, alright. Well, I'll what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hire you I will hire you right now.
I will give you an offer. You I will pay you very, very well, and it will be you will do this, but the the deal is you're gonna have to move down to where I need you to be. And, the guy was just said, I'm gonna pay you well. And the guy was like, well, I don't know what your definition of pay well is. And and just throwing, you know, throwing excuse after excuse after excuse. And the guy was like, that's exactly why you won't be hired because you're too much of a pain in the ass. And another gal was he actually offered. It's like so she was talking about how wonderful communist country, communist, the communist ideology was. And he's like, okay. Well, I'll tell you what.
I will cover a $23,000 tab for you to renounce your citizenship US citizenship. And I will fly you first class to any communist country you want. And I will pay whatever fees needed for you to become a citizen of that, of that location. And late the gal that was was having the cop the had not the discussion with him, she wouldn't take it. She would come up with she was coming up with excuses after excuses. One of them was, well, there's no communist countries in the in the world now. It's like, yeah. There are. There are plenty of them. You choose one. No. There's not any else. So well, I you're if you're gonna sit there and argue there's not and you've come up with as many excuses as to why there's not, then you're you're, you're you're proving everybody's point.
[02:00:46] Duuude-Ron :
That's Yeah.
[02:00:48] Unknown:
And that's the thing that they actually, come to. Do you think they
[02:00:54] Rich Chelson:
those those I know. They never made a difference on who who thought, what, when, where.
[02:01:00] Unknown:
You see, that's just you see, that's why that's why people like that, I won't I won't I won't waste my time on them. You know? Right. Yeah. Because nothing Mhmm. That you say will change your mind or or or even even though you're not trying to really change your mind, they nothing you say will make any difference whatsoever Right. In the way they think, act, or feel. So it's like, why waste your breath?
[02:01:31] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:01:32] Unknown:
You know? So that's why that's why a lot of times, I won't say a word anymore. Because it's like, I'm you do you, boo. And when you have a fucking problem, don't come to me crying because I'm gonna tell you you're fucking wrong.
[02:01:48] Rich Chelson:
Absolutely.
[02:01:50] Unknown:
Yeah. And people don't like it when I tell them they're wrong. But and then and then the thing is when I tell someone they're wrong and when I say those words, I can prove it to them. You know? Right. And they get really pissed then. Yeah. I'm just like, whatever. The truth is the truth. Truth hurts. See, honestly, people get mad. When when people get mad, it's because they heard truth, and it it doesn't sit well with them. It doesn't taste well.
[02:02:27] Rich Chelson:
Well, because it interrupts the the story that they've been telling themselves.
[02:02:31] Unknown:
Right. Right.
[02:02:33] Duuude-Ron :
You know? And I had a little bit of that circumstance aspects happened to me today when I went up to Abilene, one of the other drivers, because I was placarded with nonflammable and oxygen. And we don't use the placard for the truck too very often because we're usually running flammable two and nonflammable two, which oxygen is covered under nonflammable two. So did I even have to placard my truck for oxygen? Well, by cylinder count volume, two thirds of my truck was oxygen that I was hauling up Dabollene today. The other third was all the other gases that I had. So I plackered it for oxygen because more than two thirds of my truck that I was carrying had had oxygen.
And then at the end, as I look at the rest going back, it wasn't thirds, but the count of my oxygen versus everything else, the oxygen count was higher. So I left the placards on there. One of the other drivers, because now they have three shuttle drivers, but only two trucks, so one of the drivers will be at the plant just helping out and, like, what happened to me unloading and reloading my truck. And he asked me why are you plaquing it with oxygen. So I explained to him that right there that I just told you guys. How what it actually say CFR?
That I have not read. But if more than half my load is oxygen, then I'm on a placard for it if I don't have any flammables.
[02:04:39] Unknown:
Yeah. Exactly. No. No. No. You were right, dude, because that's the thing. You know? Yeah. Like okay. Now I do know any explosive was, like, 1.4, 1.2, 1.6. Those, you you have to do the, you know, explosive. But, like, let's say let's say let's say you had acid on your truck. Okay? But you still had more oxygen than you had acid. You know? Let's say you had, like, like, three pallets of acid. You know? Three of, you know, whatever. You know? But your truck was still mostly oxygen. Yeah. You would have to placard oxygen, you know, because of the amount that you had.
You know? Now if you had hydrogen on as well, a lot of you know, let's say let's say you had of the one third left, let's say you had a quarter hydrogen on, you would also have to record for that too because that's Well that's actually the stronger one, isn't it?
[02:05:48] Duuude-Ron :
Well, if you if you have have to plant but oxygen in that case, oxygen would fall back underneath non flan two Okay. If I was running, although, the the flammable placard. Yep. Because I want more than two placards because I can well, now my truck, I can only do two placards. I used to be able to do three, but I had each side changed out for for a different placard style so I can't plan cab run three placards.
[02:06:28] Unknown:
Really?
[02:06:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:06:31] Unknown:
Okay.
[02:06:32] Duuude-Ron :
Because we haul to Koda, the racetrack, Circuit Of The Americas. Mhmm. And that whole truck will be nothing but night so since I have more than 26,001 pounds of product and cylinders, you have to placard with the UN number.
[02:07:00] Unknown:
Right. Right.
[02:07:02] Duuude-Ron :
So I had that style placard put on my truck because we, you know, we haul a lot of stuff down to the racetrack. Right. Okay. But going back to the other driver, he then he makes the statement, and, of course, I yeah. What's the word I'm looking for? He makes the statement. Well, I don't know if I could do that because I've never read up on it. So my comment was is okay. So because you're lazy and you don't wanna find out the information for yourself,
[02:07:46] Rich Chelson:
That's right.
[02:07:47] Duuude-Ron :
Somebody else logic.
[02:07:49] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:07:50] Duuude-Ron :
I love it. Somebody else to do the work for you to give you that answer because you're too lazy to go do it yourself.
[02:08:00] Unknown:
Right.
[02:08:01] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. I gotcha.
[02:08:03] Unknown:
What did he say to that? Anything?
[02:08:05] Duuude-Ron :
He kinda not really. He did not say anything more. I'm like, that's just like that special permit that I have over here on this cylinder right here. Right. One special permit. Well, look at the damn cylinder. You tell me what the special permit number is on that cylinder. Just that one cylinder. He's looking at it and kinda, you know, didn't quite get it figured out. I said, look at the DOT. It said DOTE9001. It doesn't say 3AA. It says E9001. So the special permit number is 9001. It's an exception because how the ergonomics of the metal that's inside that cylinder makes it the special permit because it could be pumped at a higher PSI than a normal 200 size cylinder can be pumped. Right. He because he was like, you know, I'm like, yeah. Because you don't you know what? Because you don't wanna educate yourself.
[02:09:23] Unknown:
Hence,
[02:09:24] Duuude-Ron :
that's about it. And I and I don't have a problem whatsoever, you know, sharing my knowledge. But when you make a statement like that, well, you know what? Don't expect any more fucking knowledge from me.
[02:09:39] Unknown:
Right.
[02:09:40] Duuude-Ron :
You get stopped by DPS and, you know, you have a DPS officer that's pretty smart and, you know, start first looking at your cylinders and find one and it's not on the the special, you know, on the hazmat sheet, well, guess what? You just got a fucking write up, and you're probably gonna get a fucking fine.
[02:10:01] Unknown:
Well,
[02:10:02] Duuude-Ron :
that's his one. Sell it. Yeah. You're right. Because you don't wanna self educate yourself.
[02:10:08] Unknown:
You know, he's the one that have to pay that money. That's right. Yeah. I I I've got I've got no sympathy for people like that. The information is out there. The information is there. And and if and you can't say, oh, I didn't know. Yeah. Yeah. Bullshit. It's your job to know. So Mhmm. You're gonna pay money.
[02:10:31] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. That's right. So Not a defense. Right? That is absolutely correct. And that particular individual is will probably won't get any more knowledge from me. You want the knowledge? I'm not gonna spoon feed it to you. Go fucking look it up.
[02:10:50] Unknown:
Well, I say that's the thing, though. He carries the book that the information's in. Because by law, you have to carry that green book.
[02:10:59] Duuude-Ron :
That is correct. But the green book has nothing to do with the special permits of the cylinders.
[02:11:12] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Okay.
[02:11:14] Duuude-Ron :
All it has to do is with the gas combinations and the UN number associated with that in case of an emergency. You know? Right. Can we use water on this? Can we use foam on this?
[02:11:34] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:11:35] Duuude-Ron :
Does it have to burn out on its own type of aspect? So that's what they're looking for within that book is how to respond or respond to an emergency on dealing with the gas within the cylinders.
[02:11:52] Unknown:
Well, say the, the, hazmat I hold, everything was basically covered by the green book. So as long as I followed the FMCSA, you know, I I never got in trouble.
[02:12:05] Duuude-Ron :
No. Absolutely. That is correct.
[02:12:08] Unknown:
Yeah. I I never hold no no gas cylinders or anything like that. Right. I was not as special as you there, dude.
[02:12:18] Duuude-Ron :
Well, actually, you're more special.
[02:12:21] Unknown:
How's that?
[02:12:22] Duuude-Ron :
Because I'm not running well, you ran explosives. Right? Did you run explosives?
[02:12:33] Rich Chelson:
I ran guys from the the
[02:12:35] Unknown:
I ran one of the lesser ones. I never Okay. I never ran 1.4 or 1.2. But I ran I ran one of the lesser one. I can't remember what it was, but that was only one time.
[02:12:50] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. So But, yeah, like you said, that book covers for because every element in the elements table is pretty well covered in that book.
[02:13:04] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I knew that, and that's that's that's what I used when I hauled hazmat. But, again, I didn't haul
[02:13:13] Duuude-Ron :
the stuff. Right. But every piece has a UN number assigned to it. Mhmm. So but it they as soon as they saw what's on the manifest and can reference it by the they're gonna be emergency or attack the emergency. Yep. Oh, yeah. And where and we'll see if Brian knows this one. Nope. Where does the where does the hazmat sheet have to go to?
[02:13:43] Rich Chelson:
What do you mean where does it have to go to?
[02:13:45] Duuude-Ron :
Where where can you put it at within the cab of your truck?
[02:13:50] Rich Chelson:
But I was told you, if you if you are hauling hazmat, of course, I don't because I I don't have that, not that endorsement.
[02:14:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Have you ever had a hazmat endorsement?
[02:14:04] Unknown:
No.
[02:14:05] Rich Chelson:
No. I figured it'd probably be in the door.
[02:14:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. It has to be in the door panel or no? The dash if you're parked. Well, yeah, if you're parked and not in the vehicle, it has to be on the driver's seat or in the door panel.
[02:14:21] Unknown:
Well, I always had mine in the driver's seat. So or in
[02:14:25] Duuude-Ron :
in the panel, in the door. Yeah. Then that's where I keep mine. That's the only thing I have in my panel is my hazmat book and my manifest and my tickets. That's the only thing that's in my door panel. So but, yeah, if you're out of the vehicle, it has to be in the driver's door panel or on the driver's seat.
[02:14:46] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[02:14:47] Unknown:
And that is that is universally known here in America and every firefighter, police, everybody, they know exactly where it's supposed to be so they could just reach in and grab it and look at it.
[02:15:01] Duuude-Ron :
That's that and that is correct. That is the reason why. It's for first responders. Yep.
[02:15:07] Unknown:
And if it's not there, oh my god. That's a big fine.
[02:15:11] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, I can only imagine how big that fine is. I never thought so. And I sure the hell don't ever ain't ever gonna fucking get one, and I don't wanna know what that fine is. I'm sure it's in the thousands of dollars
[02:15:28] Unknown:
Oh, yeah.
[02:15:29] Duuude-Ron :
Someplace. But yeah. Now when I get RSID, my roadside roadside inspection, the very first thing that DPS is gonna ask for ask from me is my manifest. And you better not have anything on top of that manifest. Nope. And don't dare hand him a clipboard with your driver's license on top of the manifest. Nope. He just We had a driver we had a driver cited for that.
[02:16:06] Unknown:
Really? Yep.
[02:16:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Because he got his driver's license out and put it on the clipboard with the hazmat, but it was on top.
[02:16:17] Unknown:
So He just lost him again.
[02:16:21] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, it gave him a warning, but it cost the company money. It didn't cost him any money because it was a warning, but it cost air gas.
[02:16:33] Unknown:
Right.
[02:16:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So for two quarters, he lost his driver's bonus.
[02:16:41] Unknown:
Well, that's what happens when you don't follow the rules.
[02:16:44] Duuude-Ron :
That's right. Alright. And I I'll put it to you like this. I didn't know specifically that that was a rule until one of the other drivers got a warning about it. But I keep my manifest on a separate clipboard, so I just hand them that clipboard, and that's the only thing on it is the manifest.
[02:17:05] Unknown:
Yeah. And you see, that's the thing. One thing I did you know, if I got stopped, I would make them ask me for you know? Like like, if I was on hauling hazmat, I would just hand them my manifest. And then I would make them ask me for my driver's license insurance. You know? Then that's what I do. If and all like that. Because this way here, they've got that first part. Okay. There is no there is no hidden anything. That's right there.
[02:17:39] Duuude-Ron :
Now if you want this, I'll just ask me for it. I give it to you. Sure. Sure. You know? And, you know, as that's the first thing I hand them when they open up the door, because they're they're expecting when they open up the door to be able to see that right right then and there. Me, I already have it in my hand. Yeah. So I handed it to them because that's always the first thing they're gonna ask for. Now I have my license out, but, yeah, I wait for them to ask for it, and then I'll hand it to them. Mhmm. And if they don't ask for, you know, all my truck and trailer paperwork, I'm not gonna volunteer it.
But in the same aspect but in the same aspect, it's always correct.
[02:18:25] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. I don't I don't I don't freely give them anything ex except my bill of lady Yep. You know, if I'm all in hazmat. Everything else, now you're gonna ask for it.
[02:18:38] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. That is exactly right. Oh, I saw a TikTok video the other day. How stupid this driver was, He was first he was pretty fucking stupid because he was hauling a, like, a Conex style container on his trailer, placard with explosives, and had zero nothing. No straps, no chains on that container driving down the interstate.
[02:19:15] Unknown:
That ain't smart.
[02:19:16] Rich Chelson:
No. Well, most of the time, Connexus have that have that locking, mechanism on there, on the, on the four corners and usually even one in the, one in the middle or or one on each each side, like the passenger and the,
[02:19:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They're all on four it's on the four corners. Yeah. No. He was he was hauling it on a flatbed.
[02:19:40] Rich Chelson:
Oh, he's on a flat. Okay. I missed that one too. I I I was just gonna ask,
[02:19:45] Unknown:
what type of trailer was he sitting on? Because, you know, if it was, like, a
[02:19:52] Duuude-Ron :
A hidden taxi and stuff. Yeah. Well, it could it's container trailer. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. Then
[02:19:58] Unknown:
then it's got the locks built in, but, yeah, you said flatbed. Yep. That wasn't smart, man.
[02:20:06] Duuude-Ron :
No. I tell you what. If I was behind that guy and it was another truck, and he was wasn't making a TikTok video, but he had his his phone to where, you know, he could hit video and play it, and then he was talking, you know, or making a commentary about it. Shit. I would have been on the phone with 911 and say, hey. I'm at this location right here. I got a truck in front of me hauling explosives, and the container is not tied down to the flatbed. I think we need to get somebody out here and get that truck stopped because I am not stopping that truck.
I'll follow him until you guys get here, but, you know, need to bring somebody out here and just give that driver a friendly words of and what's the word I'm looking for? Friendly words of encouragement to strap that container down.
[02:21:21] Unknown:
Yeah. See, now I just start writing tickets for every strap that's supposed to be on there. It isn't.
[02:21:29] Duuude-Ron :
Well, that is what he would be, you know, being, conveyed as he's getting educated about tie downs
[02:21:43] Unknown:
Right.
[02:21:44] Duuude-Ron :
As I'm writing them on the citation.
[02:21:47] Unknown:
Because I mean, honestly, because I've I've hold them pods before you
[02:21:52] Duuude-Ron :
you've seen them. Right? Yeah. Mhmm.
[02:21:54] Unknown:
Those things are normally, at the most, 3,000 pounds each. Okay? I mean, they're not very big. Yeah. Pretty much. Yeah. I mean, you know, I can throw two straps on, you know, one on the front, one on the back, and be good on each one and you get four on the trailer. You know? And
[02:22:16] Duuude-Ron :
and that's usually what I see going down the road. If it's one of those pods, it'll have two straps per pod Mhmm. Going down the road.
[02:22:25] Unknown:
And so so those those big Connexus or those freaking Connexus normally are empty. They don't they normally don't have stuff. I mean, hell, three straps. Four would hold it. You know? I mean, it's it's not and that's that's just simple. You know?
[02:22:47] Duuude-Ron :
Well, not for that driver, it wasn't.
[02:22:50] Rich Chelson:
He just said he just says very simple for him. Man, they they threw it on the back of the trailer, and he just took off.
[02:22:58] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yep.
[02:23:00] Rich Chelson:
No. He was just for nothing.
[02:23:02] Duuude-Ron :
You know, just like in the movie Smokey and a Bandit with the snowman when he was writing that letter to, to the beer house where they took all the beer. Sitting Bill to Bill Ennis Burdett, b e r. Fuck it. I gotta go. Alright. That's probably what that guy was thinking. You know what got my load? Oh, fuck it. It's time to go. I'm already thirty minutes late for being down the road. Securement. Fuck it. That's the other guy's problem.
[02:23:38] Unknown:
Right.
[02:23:39] Duuude-Ron :
When it falls off the trailer onto the car, that's that car's problem, not mine.
[02:23:45] Unknown:
Exactly. That's funny.
[02:23:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. That's what I would've been on. I was on the phone with with 911 saying, hey. We need to get somebody to fuck out here and teach this guy, give him a few words of encouragement, preferably written.
[02:24:06] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. They would, yeah, they would definitely be written out.
[02:24:10] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yes.
[02:24:12] Unknown:
That's it. I you could write him for every strap that's not on there that's supposed to be on there, unsafe equipment because that's unsafe. Probably a few other things if you looked hard enough.
[02:24:26] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Probably make it.
[02:24:28] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Endangering endangering the surrounding public because it was explosives that was not secured down. Yeah. Yeah. Let's find out what all the CFR know, what they relate to this. Yeah. He would have he would not be having a good day.
[02:24:51] Unknown:
No. No. His his day would not be happy at all. Nope. That's funny. And, yeah, I would laugh. I ain't gonna lie. I would.
[02:25:02] Duuude-Ron :
Hell, yeah. That's like I tell these other managers. It's like and I've even told their drivers to the to their faces with the the way they bring labels back that are on their truck. It's like, you know, these labels are about well, they're all this one's illegal. This one's illegal. DPS stops you can get on your truck, they're gonna have a field day. And you know what I'm gonna do? When I find out, I'm gonna come and laugh in your motherfucking face and say, told you.
[02:25:36] Unknown:
I wouldn't do that. I'd just laugh and walk away. Point and laugh.
[02:25:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I yeah. That'd be pretty funny too. Eventually, it's gonna happen. You know? I'm gonna be able to get to laugh.
[02:25:53] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Looks like looks like it's about to be getting that time.
[02:25:57] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. We're slowly getting there. No. As far as anything.
[02:26:00] Unknown:
Yep. Already.
[02:26:07] Rich Chelson:
So now the dogs have finally settled down.
[02:26:12] Duuude-Ron :
Because you don't have any more food.
[02:26:14] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You didn't That Nope. Well, they got food. But
[02:26:19] Duuude-Ron :
Well, it's almost it's almost nappy time.
[02:26:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Not like they hadn't been napping all day.
[02:26:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I've seen some of the videos on great days. It's like, yeah. It's time to get up so I can go take a nap. Yeah.
[02:26:38] Rich Chelson:
That's exactly it. It. Scared of everything.
[02:26:44] Duuude-Ron :
And you said, well, you know, the rest of them are obnoxious.
[02:26:51] Rich Chelson:
They they can be.
[02:26:53] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:26:54] Rich Chelson:
Sometimes. But when they start to chill out, they're they're actually kinda nice to have around. Yeah. But they have to wait you have to wait a couple hours for them to chill out.
[02:27:07] Duuude-Ron :
Well, then you have a heated body pillow. Right?
[02:27:11] Rich Chelson:
Well, yes. They they do very good as, as body pillows.
[02:27:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:27:17] Rich Chelson:
So Yeah. Well, anyhow, as as you've noticed on this particular show, we don't do ads. We don't do any type of, hey. Buy this mattress. Buy this razor. Buy this particular thing. Hey. Here's a here's a subscription box that cost you $49.95 once a month to give you just random stuff. We don't do that type of stuff. And the reason why we don't do that type of stuff is because we are running through a different style of of of value for value. Now the, the people who advertise, it works for them. Now I'm not not gonna pooh pooh it. I don't think it's the best for us because what we talked about, we could say something and all and offend a a a client because that would who be who we are. We'd be marketing we'd be monetizing our our our audience for for our clients, and our clients would be their advertisers.
And if we said something that the advertisers didn't like, then we'd be out of money. So that's why you get a lot of the down down top YouTube videos these days where they even if they're talking about serious topics like like suicide and things like that, they don't say suicide. They say self deletion or or things along those lines. If you're a show about pornography addiction, you can't on YouTube, you can't you don't don't wanna go off and say, talk about porn because porn is is not something people want to be they want their business to be associated with. And so people have to turn around and start talking about corn addiction, and it's no, there's no there's no there's no addiction to the to the, the bright yellow knobs. It's got the juice. It's got the juice. Such a most wonderful thing because it's porn.
And you've not ever seen that, then where are you? What's that video? That's an amazing video. But but any you've got though you've got a a means of having to self censor if you're with a a an advertiser. Well, the people who we want to receive money from is gonna be for you. And the money is not just so that we can go, ah, yeah. See, look at this. We're making a million dollars a year because now you're never gonna make a million dollars a year. There's podcasts out there that are far more popular that go on the value for value process, and they don't make a million dollars a year. And they even get upwards to 800,000 views per episode, and they do it twice a twice a week.
They have, you know, a 2,000 people on their live streams. So it's, you know, they're they're popular. They're they're well known, and they still don't make, you know, a million dollars a year. So we're not out to get rich. We're just out to do value for value if you because if you find value in what we're doing, then just ask that you return the value back, and that value being either time, talent, and or treasure. And time is take it take a little bit of time out of your, out of your week to sit down and maybe talk with Rich or or I and and do the the chapter art or do this set up the chapters, for for our cloud chapters because we're a pod we're a two point o podcast.
And that means that we have chapters. We have transcripts. We have funding tags. We can you even are able to go live and listen to us live if you want. We have these these features available that many of the other podcasts out there don't, and all those are just because you can listen to us throw up two podcasting two point o app, and I'll jump into that, what those are here in a in a in a quick moment. But the if you have the time, then you can that that's a good way to pay it back. You don't have to contribute money. You could contribute time. If you have talent, you can create cover art or episodic art or chapter art, then, hey. There you go. You would love to be able to have you help us out in that way. Provide the the talent, that you have to help us out to become a have a higher quality experience for the listeners.
And then, again, if you are have have some some treasure available and you'd rather be able to give that, then that's another way that you can do. How much are you should you give? I don't know. How much value did we give to you? That's your that all that choice is completely up to you. You get to make that choice and and and go in that direction. So we are a value for value, and we like I said, we use a the option of podcasting two point o so that apps like like True Fans or Podcast Guru or the newest one that's actually out is Pod Home. Pod Home has their own podcasting app two point o app out now.
And I've been playing around with it a little bit, and it's not a bad little app. It's pretty good. It's got some neat little, neat little features that are all their own and that kinda show you it's a neat little, discovery. I forget exactly what they call it, but it is a means that you can actually it's kinda like using Podpeng, Podpeng's tiles where you actually get to see all of the episodes that are being updated in real time. And it's a it's a pretty neat little, little setup in in in how that, that works out. So you can check things out like that. And what's neat about those is they all support the funding tag, which means that on the app, there is a support this show, support this page, support this this episode, whatever.
And when you click on it for us, it brings up our our PayPal page. And from there, you can actually go and and contribute whatever you want. You can do just a onetime payment, or you can do a a reoccurring payment. That's all we give all the freedom and all the options over to you. And so that's one reason why we do it free so that if you decide you want to, you think you need to contribute something, you have that freedom to do so. And so if you have any comments, questions about that, please send us an email over you can shoot an email over me at [email protected], or you can send Rich an email that's r chelson, [email protected].
And if you wanna get ahold of the dude, since his email is so tough, just send it over to me, me or, or Rich, and we'll get it over to, over the dude, and we will all have a conversation about it when we when we get back together on next Thursday. So, Rich, what do you have to say?
[02:35:00] Unknown:
Oh, not too much. I didn't know Pod Home had their own, podcast app on. I might have checked that out.
[02:35:07] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's a just I I just noticed it a couple days ago or a couple weeks ago. Not a couple weeks, couple last week, whatever that was.
[02:35:17] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Okay. When when I was out of town Yeah. And everything. So, yeah, I know. I've checked that out because, that'd be cool since we have Pod Home as our pod host.
[02:35:30] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:35:31] Unknown:
That's not a play on words at all, is it? No. Not at all. But, no, I just like to thank everybody who who's still listening and keep coming back and laughing at us, loving us, hating us, whatever.

Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude. This is a show that each week allows for three friends to get together and live life intentionally. We do this by throwing a little social commentary with our own weird consumer and our thoughts together to show folks that living, having weekly conversations is a good way to help each other, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude.
[00:00:34] Rich Chelson:
Recording in progress.
[00:00:36] Duuude-Ron :
Why, yes, sir. Fucking way, dog. Jeez.
[00:00:40] Unknown:
Damn. Y'all just jumped right in at the same freaking time.
[00:00:45] Duuude-Ron :
Well, what's well, what's going on with you pink flamingo yard art in impersonators doing?
[00:00:57] Unknown:
Bella's driving me up at this afternoon. She likes she, like, wants to constantly go outside.
[00:01:07] Rich Chelson:
And Well, yeah. She's discovered outside's good.
[00:01:11] Unknown:
And and she just hasten around, you know, walk into the back door, and then, you know, if I get it and use the bathroom, I go walk to the kitchen for anything. She's, like, at the front door wanting to go out, and I'm like, no. I'm a put her fence up tomorrow. I got to yard mowed today, so I'm a put her fence up tomorrow. I'm a open the back door and say, go. Have fun have fun with your badge. So
[00:01:36] Rich Chelson:
Okay. She'll go to scratching at the door because you're not out there with her.
[00:01:42] Unknown:
Right. Right. We like to
[00:01:44] Rich Chelson:
will not she will not exit without you.
[00:01:49] Unknown:
Oh, I can I, yeah, I can do that? I can I can easily, you know, get her to make it out there? You know? The first time, I'll probably have to walk out with her and when she sees a fence. I don't know. I mean I mean, she's been in fenced yard, so you know? But, yeah, probably the first time, I'll probably have to go out with her. But after that, I'll I'll just open that door and say, go have fun. Hiya. Just go play with your bad self. Give me a minute. But, yeah, I spent I'm I moved I moved a couple of my masks for my antennas out the way of where I'm putting the fence.
And then well, I mowed also, so that's all done. Okay.
[00:02:39] Duuude-Ron :
Well, man, you got a lot of shit accomplished in one day, didn't you?
[00:02:43] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. He is a man of action.
[00:02:46] Duuude-Ron :
I guess.
[00:02:47] Unknown:
I did. The man, the myth,
[00:02:50] Duuude-Ron :
the legend in his own mind.
[00:02:54] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. No. I was I was I was debate. Now I mean, I needed to mow, but, you know, I was, you know, I'm still I'm I'm I still haven't fully recovered from this trip. I'm tired as shit. But I was like, nah. I better get this shit done because there'd be no way I could do it. Mow, move everything, and then put that fence up, but, yeah, that would just suck.
[00:03:24] Duuude-Ron :
So, well, is the wood is the fence all wood? No. It's metal. Metal? Okay.
[00:03:30] Unknown:
Yeah. It's it's metal panels.
[00:03:33] Duuude-Ron :
How tall are they?
[00:03:35] Unknown:
They're four foot high.
[00:03:37] Duuude-Ron :
Four foot? Okay. Sure. Four foot by four foot or four foot by six foot?
[00:03:42] Unknown:
No. Four foot by 32 inches.
[00:03:45] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[00:03:47] Unknown:
But but, I mean, I mean, either way, even if I laid them, you know, even if I could lay them on her side, she still couldn't jump 32 inches.
[00:04:00] Rich Chelson:
So you say?
[00:04:02] Unknown:
Well, yeah. But, I mean I mean, I don't know. I don't I don't I don't see her jumping that high. I'm not sure. Not. I mean, Rain doesn't doesn't believe she can jump that high until she jumps that high. Right. But, I mean, well, Rain is, what, like, six foot four now?
[00:04:24] Duuude-Ron :
You know, pretty close.
[00:04:27] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. But, again, I have a four foot tall fence, and she you just she's jumped over four foot tall fences before, and that was only because she saw one of one of her her her cousins do it. So she's like, oh, okay.
[00:04:48] Unknown:
Right.
[00:04:49] Rich Chelson:
And, apparently, she thinks every fence is different when it comes to height because she'll still do it over at over in Pottsville where she learned how that she could jump over that fence. But any other fence, no. No. She's she doesn't, she doesn't jump over any of them. Well, that's a good thing. Oh, yeah.
[00:05:07] Unknown:
That's that's a real good thing. But, yeah, no other than that, you know, I got that done, took a shower, and, I was like, no. I'm done. That's it. I'm done for the day. Because I knew I had to podcast tonight, so I didn't wanna be totally wore out. Right. I'd be the one snoring, you know you know, instead of dude.
[00:05:32] Duuude-Ron :
You know, all I'd have to do is call you then. Wake Wake up, you motherfucker. Right? You know, so here's a reminder. If I do fall asleep that you can text me and my text thing is pretty loud, yeah, it would wake my ass up.
[00:05:51] Unknown:
Okay. But but let me ask you this. If you're using your phone, does your text notification

[00:06:19] Duuude-Ron :
You know? So I wonder if I wonder if a call would oversee. Yeah. Well, I've watched I was, you know, doing, like, YouTube videos, just watching a video when somebody calls me. A call coming in will supersede all of that no matter what I'm doing. Now with Zoom Yeah. Now with Zoom, I'm not sure.

Well, you know what? I'll call you. We'll we'll we'll just find out right now. How about that? Why don't we just find out right now? How about that? It's like, instead of talking about it, let's just try the try this bad memory gym out.

Okay. Yeah. Because I have it on the ring and vibrate. Yep. Okay. It's an old public phone, but, yeah, that would wake me up. Okay. So you may be calling me after a while because I got about maybe three hours of sleep. You know how much and I know I know you guys know how much fun it is to go from dead asleep to sitting up in a bed hoping not to throw up because of acid reflux. And it's right there at the fucking Adam's apple. And doing everything to fuck to keep it in. And I'll just do everything else.
[00:07:53] Rich Chelson:
That I I have something similar to that. But what happens is I'll be laying there, and the ass stomach acid will go get up, but it'll act I'll actually aspirate a little bit. So I'll be like, and I'll get up, and I have that nasty, just burning, feeling all the at the back of your throat. And so for the next hour, I'm awake because I wake up every time I go, and it burns again. It was like, oh, Jesus Christ. What the hell, man? And rinse and repeat. I'm so It's all good. That's what I did most of the night last night. So Oh, yummers.
[00:08:32] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, that's always fun. Right. And help you out.
[00:08:37] Rich Chelson:
Roll up on the bed or the floor is like, keep it together, damn it. Right. Yeah. That would suck. Made it through dive part a dive school without yacking. I should be able to make it this far.
[00:08:49] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. So, yeah, as long as you guys don't talk later on in the evening about, you know, gaming and or computers, I'll be fine. Because all that just goes.

[00:09:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yes.
[00:09:34] Unknown:
See, I don't know.
[00:09:36] Rich Chelson:

[00:09:51] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay. How'd you get it on PS five?
[00:09:54] Unknown:
I was looking through the PlayStation catalog and found it. I've got that, miss Pac Man. Uh-huh. And oh, shoot. I even got Atari games, man. Yeah. Yeah. If you look on the PlayStation catalog, you can find it. Mhmm. And it's the original.
[00:10:18] Rich Chelson:
At least it acts like the original.
[00:10:21] Duuude-Ron :
Looks good. Feels. But trying to navigate that game with a console you know, a hand console versus the actual game itself,
[00:10:36] Rich Chelson:
of course, it looks like it's different.
[00:10:38] Duuude-Ron :
You know? You know what? I think it's a little bit different.
[00:10:40] Unknown:
Well, you see the yeah. Because, I mean, you know, you got a trigger, but the movement is still as buggy as as as the actual arcade console. Oh, it's I mean, it's what you yeah. It is. It's it's it's it's still as buggy as as as the arcade game.
[00:11:02] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, I could probably set the controller down on the table. And with that, I'm sure it's the left hand is the one that moves the spacecraft on its, you know, around the screen, and then the other right hand button, whichever one is the one that triggers. I can I can maybe probably you know, I could probably handle that?
[00:11:24] Unknown:
Yeah. That's I I think I think that's the way it's go. I'm not a 100% sure. I don't pay attention. I just it I fired the game up, start up because I like that game also and just automatically started playing. You know? I didn't even pay attention because I knew I needed to shoot, and I needed to move. I'm just You gotta get out of the way. You gotta shoot the bad guys.
[00:11:51] Duuude-Ron :
Move. Well
[00:11:54] Unknown:
but, yeah, that's, yeah, I've got that game.
[00:11:57] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. So Have you ever made it even in the big I don't know. Did you ever play it in the big art
[00:12:04] Rich Chelson:
the big arcade game? Yeah. The stand up console? Yeah. Stand up cabinet, oh,
[00:12:10] Unknown:
years ago, but I don't I don't remember anything about it.
[00:12:14] Duuude-Ron :
Did you ever make it to Earth? Did you ever make it to Earth?
[00:12:20] Rich Chelson:
I didn't know how you could make it to Earth. I figured it was just one of those never ending.
[00:12:25] Unknown:
Well,
[00:12:26] Duuude-Ron :
you're you're fighting you're starting at or, Uranus, then what is it, Neptune, and going Oh, no. That's furthest out to the closest. That's Gyrus, dude. No. Come on now.
[00:12:44] Unknown:
No. Galaga is is, is, where you got the Oh, that's right. That's right. The the the aliens that they just line up and dive bomb you.
[00:12:57] Duuude-Ron :
So I don't fucking remember. It's been shit. Last time I actually played the arcade game, I was, like, 18,
[00:13:09] Unknown:
I think. They don't have this game on PS five. At least not at least I haven't seen it. I'm not saying it's not on there, but I haven't seen it.
[00:13:19] Duuude-Ron :
I thought Gala going to the different well, like I said, that's been forty almost forty years ago since I last played it on the arcade game.
[00:13:31] Unknown:
Right.
[00:13:32] Duuude-Ron :
But me and a buddy of mine would tell play for eight hours on 50¢, a quarter apiece
[00:13:38] Unknown:
Damn.
[00:13:39] Duuude-Ron :
And play for eight hours.
[00:13:41] Unknown:
That was some cheap entertainment right there.
[00:13:44] Duuude-Ron :
That is you can't get any cheaper entertainment than that
[00:13:49] Unknown:
Right.
[00:13:50] Duuude-Ron :
Unless you wanna go out and watch the wind blow around.
[00:13:54] Unknown:
Well, yeah, that is true.
[00:13:56] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But, no, but you you can't have any trees around. Can't have any flags around. You just have to sit there and watch the wind blow.
[00:14:04] Unknown:
But yeah. No. That's, but, yeah, I've got a few I've got a few of the old arcade games you can play.
[00:14:12] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Pac Man was fun. Donkey Kong was fun.
[00:14:16] Unknown:
I don't have Donkey Kong.
[00:14:19] Rich Chelson:
Nintendo won't let you have that yet. No. No.
[00:14:24] Unknown:
Hell, freaking Nintendo just came out with Donkey Kong Blast. Right. So, yeah, they they are not giving up the Donkey Kong franchise for nothing. I believe it. I mean, maybe when we're 8085, they might.
[00:14:40] Duuude-Ron :
Doubt it. Yeah. I doubt it. Now they're bringing in a whole new generation of gamers for Donkey Kong. Now Donkey Kong Blast, I wonder if that's anything you know, I'm I know the graphics are, you know, like, phenomenally better than the arcade games back in the eighties, but I wonder if it, like, has, you know, all new adventures.
[00:15:12] Unknown:
Yeah. It does. Because, I've seen I've seen I've seen I've seen commercials on the TV, and they're showing it. And, yeah, they've they've they've changed the layout of the game and, you know, it's still Donkey Kong and everything, but now now Donkey Kong can break He runs around, like, in a big world and breaks rocks and, you know, all kinds of other stuff. So
[00:15:41] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[00:15:42] Unknown:
So, yeah, I've seen I've seen a few commercials for the new Donkey Kong game, and, yeah, the the graphics are awesome.
[00:15:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I can imagine.
[00:15:52] Unknown:
So but, I mean, I'll never have it because I'll never get a Nintendo.
[00:16:00] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I don't blame you. Probably, I don't know what the cost of a Nintendo is these days, but they buy the system for one game. Yeah. Kind of a Not a smart move. Yeah. We got a PlayState PS five that, you know,
[00:16:18] Rich Chelson:
$500.
[00:16:20] Unknown:
Well, and see, that's the thing. Nowadays nowadays, a lot of the games are going cross play. So it doesn't matter what system you have. A lot of the games, you can be I can be on my PS five. Brian can be on his PS five. You could have an Xbox, and we all could play the same game at the same time with each other.
[00:16:41] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah.
[00:16:42] Unknown:
So, yeah, a lot of games are are going cross play like that.
[00:16:47] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. Well, I don't see myself in any time soon getting a PS five or Nintendo or PlayStation. Yeah. Probably not gonna happen anytime soon, or at least in my lifetime.
[00:17:02] Unknown:
Well, what about an Xbox?
[00:17:06] Duuude-Ron :
Probably won't do an I you know? Hell, I don't know.
[00:17:10] Unknown:
You might get an Xbox, Yeah. I know you won't, dude.
[00:17:15] Duuude-Ron :
No. Probably not. Yeah. Probably not. Yeah. I've just never been, except for the actual arcades, never big on, you know, gaming. I got the, you know, Atari about fifteen years ago that has all the games inside. It doesn't have any cartridges.
[00:17:37] Unknown:
Right.
[00:17:38] Duuude-Ron :
And it still sits there. I've played it maybe 10 times in the last ten years.
[00:17:47] Unknown:
Well, I mean I mean, I don't I don't I don't play mine all the time.
[00:17:52] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I know.
[00:17:53] Unknown:
You know? But, yeah, sometimes I do I do I I do pull it out. Now when I pull it out and play it, I normally play it for a good while. You know? Because, you know, if I'm a fire it up and play a game, you know, I'm a spend minimum two hours, if not four.
[00:18:14] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you're gonna win at all costs.
[00:18:18] Unknown:
Well, I'm gonna try to and
[00:18:20] Duuude-Ron :
try to finish, you know, get to the end state.
[00:18:24] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe in another four hundred hours, I might make it.
[00:18:31] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:18:32] Unknown:
I finished so what is that? Tom Clancy's breakpoint. I finished the motherland mode. I I finished it, and now I mean, I can do the I can either go back to the story mode. I I think I still have a few things to play on there Yeah. I haven't finished that one yet. So but, yeah, I'll switch characters on that and just because I've got them built up. They're all maxed out. I mean, I can't get any higher on it. So
[00:19:09] Duuude-Ron :
And as far as what what the character can, have and use?
[00:19:14] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. The strength and all that and everything. I mean, I'm I'm maxed everywhere. The only thing I can do is level up because I got one character at level sixty five and one at, I think, 48. I think so.
[00:19:31] Duuude-Ron :
So Sure. I believe you.
[00:19:34] Unknown:
But still, I got you know, I've got stuff I could still play on that game, and then I've got a whole list of other games I can play.
[00:19:44] Duuude-Ron :
But now you said you just finished the one What was that called?
[00:19:49] Unknown:
Motherland. It's, the main game's called Breakpoint. Point? Yeah. Yeah. Tom Clancy's Breakpoint, but it was a Motherland trailer that that it came out, like, a year or two ago. And I just finished it.
[00:20:08] Duuude-Ron :
So there's so there's no other lands to go to?
[00:20:13] Rich Chelson:
Not in that Hell, dog. I can't move.
[00:20:16] Unknown:
I have to go back to the story mode, and I've got I've got other areas I can go there and and, you know, shoot some more people and capture some more people. So, yeah, I I yeah. I'm not I'm not I'm not totally done with that game yet.
[00:20:36] Duuude-Ron :
But that's interesting.
[00:20:38] Rich Chelson:
And since you've gotten that version, there's what about six versions
[00:20:42] Duuude-Ron :
newer?
[00:20:43] Unknown:
No. Uh-huh. Nope. Okay. No. Not on this one. Now now Call of Duty when I play Call of Duty, say, they're up on season six, and I think I was playing season five or I I can't remember. I don't know. I can't I can't I can't keep up because the seasons only go for so long, and then and then they make a new season.
[00:21:11] Duuude-Ron :
So But you're never gonna get hot in score.
[00:21:15] Unknown:
No. Hell no. Well, you see you see see, that's the way I look at it. Okay? When I step into the game, I have already won the game. Everybody else, they're the ones that suck in high and titty because I I'm the biggest, baddest mofo there. And even if I die, I'm still ahead of them. That's the way I think. Because by god, when I walk in, I'm shooting somebody.
[00:21:45] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. Understandably. So but shot
[00:21:51] Unknown:
oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I get shot. But, you know, it's you know, it's all good. I'm you know? And and you see, that's the thing. You know? I don't play really for you know, to get on any leaderboards because I know there's, you know, people that this is what they do for hours on end, days on end. You know? I just I just go in and play my game and play what I want. And then when I'm done playing, okay. See you. Bye. I just shut it off. I don't No. And say see you. I just go, I'm out. So, yeah, trying to trying to win, no. I don't. I just play. When I get tired, I shut it off.
But the funny thing about it is, though, when I play, you know, I feel like I should be doing something else. You know what I mean? You know? So I can
[00:22:51] Duuude-Ron :
see so I can see roughs or Yeah. Trimming the edges.
[00:22:56] Unknown:
Yeah. Fuck them hedges. Fiction fiction, say it say it to need to be cut again.
[00:23:05] Duuude-Ron :
I'm dreading it. But Oh, I got Yeah. I got the Sawzall.
[00:23:10] Unknown:
Well, I got a Sawzall too. Yours is easier to use, though, because it's battery powered.
[00:23:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But it sounded to me, like, when I got down there, let them damn things would be gone. We're gonna I I just caught them down at the base.
[00:23:28] Unknown:
That's that's what I wanna do. That is that is what I wanna do.
[00:23:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. We'll take care of that.
[00:23:37] Unknown:
Freaking. Slice them at the base, stack them on my my bare spot over there, and and let the city come pick them up. Well, there you go. Now I might I might put something back there because it, you know, kinda separated, you know, my front yard from the street and stuff, but I'm not putting hedges back. Let's put it that way.
[00:23:58] Duuude-Ron :
You know what you need to do? What's that? You need to make a little miniature gnome
[00:24:09] Unknown:
society. That might be kinda fun. Yeah. That might be kinda fun.
[00:24:15] Duuude-Ron :
You know, just make your own little you know, get some, like, planter boxes. You know, about build them to where they're about, oh, two and a half feet high, and just make your miniature gnome city. You know? That would be hilarious if you actually started that.
[00:24:38] Unknown:
It would be. Get, like, the mushroom houses and everything.
[00:24:43] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:24:46] Unknown:
Make, like, a big diorama.
[00:24:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I mean It it could be your version of a train set city.
[00:24:59] Unknown:
That's funny. I hadn't even thought of that.
[00:25:03] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, here you go. I just saw something on I can't remember what I was watching. You know who has one of the biggest miniature train setups in the world? No. Rod Stewart.
[00:25:18] Unknown:
Really?
[00:25:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yes. He has he built a building, I mean, like, several 100 feet long, several 100 feet wide, and and built his train set.
[00:25:35] Unknown:
Oh, that would be cool as shit, man.
[00:25:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. He even has little beam powered engines. Oh, I see. The hell they work? You know, I don't know.
[00:25:50] Rich Chelson:
But Right.
[00:25:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. He has everything from when trains first started to current. And he has villages that are from the, you know, eighteen hundreds to metropolis in his train set. It was fucking cool.
[00:26:11] Unknown:
Yeah. I just
[00:26:12] Duuude-Ron :
And it's on several levels.
[00:26:16] Unknown:
I just I just freaking brought up pictures. Good god. This is awesome.
[00:26:23] Duuude-Ron :
And the, article that I saw is he would bring on tour some of his trains and cars that he was working on painting and doing whatever to him.
[00:26:37] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:26:38] Duuude-Ron :
Would work on those while he was on tour.
[00:26:42] Unknown:
Wow. That's what I did. I mean I mean, honestly, that that'd be a good way to unwind after a concert or something.
[00:26:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[00:26:52] Unknown:
You know?
[00:26:53] Duuude-Ron :
And so to occupy his time Right. Overall. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. I saw that. I was like, oh, that's fucking cool. Could I be patient enough to do that? I don't know. Probably not. You can do it. How are you doing? Because I'm sure the hell ain't rich enough to do it. Oh, no. No. No. I mean, I do. I'm sure he's got probably several million dollars in that that layout.
[00:27:24] Unknown:
I would I would venture probably 500,000. Hang on.
[00:27:30] Duuude-Ron :
Now remember now remember, he built that building for that train set.
[00:27:37] Unknown:
Right. Hang on. Let me oh my god. Is okay, Rod Stewart's Grand Street and Three Rivers City model train set is a priceless, one of a kind creation, not a commercial set for sale. He spent $30,000,000 and twenty six years building it. Jail. That's that's a lot of fucking money. Right.
[00:28:08] Duuude-Ron :
Well, he he built on his estate, he built a building specifically for that. You know, I'm sure that building is several million dollars Yeah. As as big as it is.
[00:28:21] Unknown:
Yeah. That's I mean, that's that's just insane. Because I mean I mean, if you look at the trains, the landscape, the sets, the buildings, the dirt, grass, sand I mean, yeah. Because People, buildings. Trees. Fucking trees are expensive at a hobby store.
[00:28:40] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:28:41] Unknown:
I've looked at them, you know, just because, you know, I'm like, one day, I would like to build a train set. Shit. Uh-huh. Shit. She'll spend a mini fortune in the landscaping. Oh, yeah. You know? But, yeah, $30,000,000, it says. And it says there is not a standard market price or value for this. So is it it's it's it's all custom, apparently.
[00:29:10] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. I believe that.
[00:29:12] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. And he did I think the article said he did 90% of the work as far as the building and everything. Not the building itself, but building all the layers, the landscaping was all done by him. Yep.
[00:29:28] Unknown:
That's crazy. That is crazy. Oh my god. No. That's awesome to see, you know, someone who's, you know, a famous singer that, you know, that's his that's his hobby. Because that's Mhmm. I mean, if you ask me, model trains sets or whatnot is a dying hobby anyway. I might be wrong.
[00:29:51] Duuude-Ron :
They are.
[00:29:52] Unknown:
Yeah. They are. You know, it's it's still it's still, you know, something nice to see.
[00:29:58] Duuude-Ron :
But yeah. Yeah. Especially especially on a large scale, you know, aspect. Right. You know, I've seen one in a what was it? Someplace in North Carolina, there was a museum that had it was probably a 200 square feet display, 300 square feet display train set behind glass. I think it was at a old train station where they had that set up because there was an old locomotive inside the building.
[00:30:32] Unknown:
Right. Well, over in Biloxi, I haven't been there yet, but there's a train hobby store museum over there in Biloxi.
[00:30:42] Rich Chelson:
Oh, cool.
[00:30:43] Unknown:
Yeah. And I haven't been there because because one day, I was gonna go I was driving by there, and there was three school buses in there. I'm like, yeah. I'm not going in there with all them. Nope. Sorry. I'm out. You know? But but, yeah, I would like to go see it, but yet at the same time, if they offer train sets for sale, no. I can't go because, no, I'm broke. I have no money. Yeah. Yeah. Alright? And I have no room.
[00:31:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right. Another building.
[00:31:17] Unknown:
You know? So it's like Yeah.
[00:31:19] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you got you got plenty enough hobbies at your house to choose from. Now something that you're gonna totally dedicate to one hobby, well but all your hobbies are pretty much electronic. Right. Your drone, your, ham radios Mhmm. You know, all that stuff. You know, it's all electronic video game.
[00:31:47] Unknown:
My freaking piano. Yeah. I mean and and you see, that's the thing. I've got I've got unless unless I get another one of them sheds like I had, you know, lived in up north, It just, you know, make it see, I need to stop because Yeah. The money for that. And I'm sitting here thinking, let me see. How can I work that out?
[00:32:11] Duuude-Ron :
And and then, of course, you'd have to get somebody to come in there and run the wiring.
[00:32:18] Unknown:
And, of course, you'd have to I'll do that. I mean, I So Well, let's just well, see, since I live in town, I probably have to get someone to come in.
[00:32:28] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. You'd have to dig a trench and put the line ends on the ground.
[00:32:35] Unknown:
Yeah. No. That that I would have to pay somebody to do. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
[00:32:41] Rich Chelson:
Transfer line in. But Oh, you don't wanna dig dig a trench?
[00:32:46] Unknown:
Not unless you had a mini hoe.
[00:32:51] Duuude-Ron :
What about a major hoe?
[00:32:53] Unknown:
What about a major hoe? Hey. I don't care what I don't care what size a hoe is just as long as I ain't gotta hand dig that bitch.
[00:33:02] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I was gonna say let the hoe hand dig the bitch.
[00:33:07] Unknown:
Oh my god. Now you finally got it. I got it. Wow. Excuse me. Now you are for me.

[00:33:21] Unknown:
Yeah. I might need one.
[00:33:23] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, you're you're always in need of a swift kick in the ass in some way, shape, or form. Right. You know, that's we need to hire a Brian, we need to hire somebody just to go over there and kick Rich's ass at least twice a day. I'm sure you could probably pay one of his neighbors to do it.
[00:33:44] Rich Chelson:
You say
[00:33:46] Unknown:
they ain't home during the day. So
[00:33:49] Rich Chelson:

[00:34:21] Rich Chelson:

Which What the fuck is that? Just is that kinda like an Angie's List type thing?
[00:34:36] Rich Chelson:
Angie's List. It's a Angie's list or no. What's the other fucking thing that's, Uber except for, instead of, instead of doing your, instead of taking you places, you have somebody come by, and they do shit for you.

No. You don't. You don't need no fucking help. Yep. Big fat man to come by and go, I got a hug for you. Yeah. That's okay. He'll be extra sweaty because he came running.
[00:35:11] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, hell. And after he gets done oh, you you know, yeah, that is perfect. You know? Rich gets what he wants. We get what we want. Big, fat, sweaty guy come over, and Rich wants a hug.
[00:35:25] Rich Chelson:
And we want him to get a kick in the ass.
[00:35:28] Duuude-Ron :
Oh my god. No. No. Can facilitate on both. Mm-mm. Well, it's cheaper that way Oh. All the way around.
[00:35:38] Unknown:
Putting services together with the same person is cheaper? Oh my god. No. I'm good. But, yeah, I'd never heard of TaskRabbit.
[00:35:50] Duuude-Ron :
Neither of us. I do this shit myself for the most part.
[00:35:55] Unknown:
Right.
[00:35:56] Duuude-Ron :
And if I fuck it up, then I'll hire somebody.
[00:36:00] Unknown:
Nah. Not me. If I fuck it up, you know, unless I totally tear it up, then I ain't got no choice. But, normally, if I fuck it up, I'll rip it back apart and do it again.
[00:36:11] Duuude-Ron :
Well, that's what I'm saying. I wanna fuck something up. Up, you might as well do it. If you're gonna fuck something up, you might as well want you know, go big or go home. Right. Right? So that way, you know Then, of course, that of course, that price, though, goes up considerably because they're going, damn. What the fuck did this guy do? Now I gotta unpack everything.
[00:36:38] Unknown:
Yeah. And that those those freaking dollar signs just go through the roof.
[00:36:44] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[00:36:45] Duuude-Ron :
All I know, I'm fixing to get a roof on my house here within the next month.
[00:36:51] Unknown:
Well, that's cool.
[00:36:53] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. Insurance is paying for it, so that's a better deal.
[00:36:59] Unknown:
Right. That's a whole lot better deal, dude.
[00:37:02] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:37:03] Unknown:
That's freaking better than what I got. I had to pay for the bitch.
[00:37:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right.
[00:37:09] Unknown:
And that's just rude. I had to call them.
[00:37:13] Duuude-Ron :
Because somebody in the past probably did it themselves and fucked it up.
[00:37:19] Unknown:
No. My I mean I mean I mean, mine was old. And, I mean, it just it just hadn't been maintained is what it was.
[00:37:27] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. So the wet the elements got to it?
[00:37:31] Unknown:
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And that's just that's just what it was. And when I called the insurance company, they was only gonna pay 8,800 of it or 8,500.
[00:37:44] Duuude-Ron :
Well, that would have been better than nothing.
[00:37:47] Unknown:
Well, true. But still, it's like, really? Y'all only gonna pay $8,000 when you know the price of a brand new roof either with shingles or metal? You're freaking stupid.
[00:38:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's it. Would've saved 8,000 in the long run, but Yeah. Well, you get your point.
[00:38:07] Unknown:
You're right. You're right. 8,500 would have gone a long way, and it would have dropped my 20 down to, what, $11.10?
[00:38:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Somewhere around there.
[00:38:18] Unknown:
Yeah. You know, payments would have been cheaper. This is true. You do have a point. But
[00:38:25] Duuude-Ron :
and and I even But in turn, would they have hiked up your your insurance rate?
[00:38:31] Unknown:
See, I don't know. Probably. I don't know. I don't know. And it could be, you know,
[00:38:38] Duuude-Ron :
with the mine being hail damaged, that's a little bit different than age and just, you know, getting it replaced. So
[00:38:48] Unknown:
right. So, yeah, I should be I should be good, though. Shouldn't have worry about it yet. Unless this storm that's, out in the Pacific keeps coming this way.
[00:39:01] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:39:02] Unknown:
It's not it's it's still it it looks like it's kinda stalled out. I looked, you know, it looks like it's about in the same place as it was yesterday.
[00:39:14] Duuude-Ron :
Is that the one that just never even came close to United States before it started going north, or is this a different storm now?
[00:39:24] Unknown:
No. This is a different storm. Oh, okay. Yeah. Those those ones that had turned those turned and went left, they're gone. See you later. Bye. Oh, okay. This is this is a new one, and it's it's coming straight across, the, The Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Cuba. Well, that's that's the way it's tracking right now. It's not close to there yet.
[00:39:52] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You know, but you were talking about it the yesterday about the spaghetti models. Yeah. That that's hilarious, those spaghetti models. It's like, you can predict all you want, but the only thing you're gonna do is you can't predict it. The only thing you can do is react because it's gonna choose its own damn path.
[00:40:14] Unknown:
Well, and see, that's the thing. I mean I mean, the national hurricane center has the same thing. You know? Well, yeah. They just watch it move along because you can't do anything with it. You can't steer it in any direction. You know?
[00:40:32] Duuude-Ron :
It's And, and and, primarily, the spaghetti models are for, you know, preparation activities. Right. Who's gonna be affected at this per certain point and so on, but, you know, until it goes where it wants to go, yeah, ain't ain't much that's gonna happen to now you could be like the guys that I don't remember where the fuck it is. He ratchet strapped his roof down.
[00:41:03] Unknown:
I'm not sure I'm not sure where that happened at. I you know, I don't know, but
[00:41:09] Duuude-Ron :
he got it it was, like, about six, and I don't even know what the length of it was. They're probably about four or 500 feet long. And then he cemented anchors into his yard, and he ratchet strapped his house and roofs to the ground. Fucking hilarious.
[00:41:29] Unknown:
Yeah. That is that is hilarious because I don't care how well you think of a job you did. If that storm wants to take that house, it's gonna take that house.
[00:41:40] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah.
[00:41:41] Unknown:
You can't you can't stop the wind. The wind's gonna do what it wants to do.
[00:41:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:41:49] Unknown:
And, you know, it it, you know, it could slow the wind up from doing its full job, but when it gets battered like that and keeps getting battered for hours upon hours, it'll take that out.
[00:42:04] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. And then the only thing that's left is the six pieces that were actually right up underneath the ratchet strap. Right. Right. Yeah. That would be hilarious too. Actually, it wouldn't because then, you know, somebody's house is gone, and I don't wish that on anybody.
[00:42:19] Unknown:
Right. Right. Same here. But, I mean, it'd still be funny.
[00:42:25] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But unless you make that I wish it happened to anybody, but I'll laugh if she does.
[00:42:29] Unknown:
Right. I would. Well, you see, that's the thing because, you know you know, you and it's sad to say, but but there's a lot of people like this. You know, they put their whole faith, their whole livelihood into, like, their house, their possessions, and shit like this. And it's like Right. People, when you live in a storm prone area, there's a good chance you're gonna lose it all.
[00:43:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yes.
[00:43:01] Unknown:
You know, insurance, maybe you'll get most of the money back. You know? But, you know you know, other than that, just deal with it. You know?
[00:43:14] Duuude-Ron :
You know, if I if I was to win the lottery and, you know, say, I moved down to, like, Miami area.
[00:43:21] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[00:43:22] Duuude-Ron :
I'd still build a stilt house. However, the stilts would be made of reinforced concrete, and the walls would be made out of cinder block. Right. And the floors would be poured concrete. Now with that said, after all is said and done, if a hurricane comes through there, it's gonna take everything but the fucking stilts and the and the walls. It'll take everything else.
[00:43:50] Unknown:
Well, yeah. Yeah. Mostly, yeah, it would take everything else except the concrete. But Yep. You can't rule out it not taking the concrete out because because when the storm's coming across, it's blowing everything else around. What if it's, you know, a big old chunk of quarter inch steel and that quarter inch steel just sliced right into your columns? You know? Hate to say it, but, yeah,
[00:44:18] Duuude-Ron :
house ain't standing no more. You know? Yeah. You just had to fucking bust my goddamn bubble, didn't you? Motherfucker. What a dickhead.
[00:44:30] Unknown:
Is it? I mean I mean, it is possible. I'm not saying it would happen. It's possible, though.
[00:44:38] Duuude-Ron :
You know? That's Yeah. And then yeah. And did you know what? If it happened, guess what? Somebody would be having a visitor visiting them and getting kicked in the dick. Like, shit, Dean.
[00:44:53] Unknown:
But it's not my fault. I just I just alerted you to the Yeah. Situation.
[00:45:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You just had to open up your fucking mouth. That's all. How rude. Right? How rude. You pink flamingo and what was the word I used? Impersonator. There you go, you pink flamingo impersonator.
[00:45:19] Unknown:
Oh, shit.
[00:45:21] Duuude-Ron :
I rehearsed that, and I knew I was still gonna fuck it up.
[00:45:28] Rich Chelson:
You ever seen that movie?
[00:45:29] Duuude-Ron :
What movie? Yeah. I saw that movie. But what about this movie?
[00:45:34] Rich Chelson:
Well, the movie, Pink Flamingos.
[00:45:37] Duuude-Ron :
No. Never heard of it. It's John Waters' slick. Whoever the hell that is. Yeah. I was gonna say it. Ever seen Crab Babies?
[00:45:46] Rich Chelson:
Nope. Nope. Nope. Well, he's he's known for making trashy films. He actually takes pride in fact when he makes trashy films.
[00:45:54] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:45:55] Rich Chelson:
And, yeah. It's a it's a it it's it's a movie. I'll say that.
[00:46:03] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It was the well crybaby, I think, was probably Johnny Depp's worst
[00:46:08] Rich Chelson:
flaw. Oh, that no. That was an amazing movie. I love crybaby. Hatchet face and all.
[00:46:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I I know a couple of the characters, but I've never watched the movie. And do I intend on watching the movie? Hell to the no.
[00:46:25] Rich Chelson:
Well, that means I just gotta I gotta ping you down now and force you to watch it.
[00:46:31] Duuude-Ron :
You know what? That's fine. I just take my drugs and go to sleep.
[00:46:39] Rich Chelson:
I'm fading out.
[00:46:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But you probably wanna poke the fucking bear all the time. Thank god damn it. Thank god damn it. Hey. You missed the good part. Missed the good part. You're about to say, rare. Watch this. Hey. You missed the good part. Here. Let's rewind it so you can see what
[00:46:56] Rich Chelson:
or or notice you fall asleep, back it up about about five minutes, and then wait until you wake back up. Oh, hey. You're waiting again. Alright. Well, I went ahead and paused it for you.
[00:47:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You would, yeah, you would probably do that.
[00:47:11] Rich Chelson:
It'd be fun. Yeah.
[00:47:13] Duuude-Ron :
Nope. You're gonna watch Crybaby.
[00:47:16] Rich Chelson:
Hey. I've got some time.
[00:47:18] Duuude-Ron :
No. I saw the trailers, and when it when it first came out, I'm like, no. Just can't do it.
[00:47:27] Unknown:
You're saying he was good.
[00:47:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I was definitely good. I was you know, I couldn't wait for the trailers to get over. They were only thirty seconds. But, of course, they were on all the fucking time. I'm like, damn. Just when the fuck is this movie gonna die? That's the only thing I could think of. However, I wish they'd make a movie out of the book scratching on scratching on the eight ball. That would be a good movie. That it would be well, the author was from Lincoln, Nebraska, my hometown, and I've actually met him and got signed autographs of all of his books. Yeah. Not, you know, a major author, but it would be kind of in the realm of the outsiders is what the movie would loosely be that would so you guys get a picture, it would be something like the outsiders.
[00:48:34] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:48:36] Duuude-Ron :
But Ponyboy would be pretty much the only main character, and then everything else would be supporting characters. But it's a damn good book. I will say that. One of very, very, very, very few books that I will read. So what was the dog doing earlier, Brian, that was pissing you off
[00:48:59] Rich Chelson:
other than trying to sit on your face? My face. Just my head in my face is all. It's like, god. No. I don't need you in my face.
[00:49:10] Unknown:
You know, I think, Brian, I think it's something in here because Bella is like like like you know, I'm back here. Normally, Bella doesn't hang out back here with me in the computer room. Uh-huh. But, yeah, she's just, like, right here by my side and, you know, you know, wanting me to pet her constantly. I think it's something in the air.
[00:49:31] Duuude-Ron :
No. It's not something in the air. It is not something in the air. It's something in the breed. That's why I said, don't give her any cheese because then you'll have to pay the cheese tax.
[00:49:44] Unknown:
Well, I haven't given like I said, Bella doesn't In fact, I gave I gave Bella half a hot dog today.
[00:49:52] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh. It took her probably three minutes to eat it. But you if you give her a piece of cheese, she'll suck that up like a she's eating nothing flat. I don't know. And then and then then you'll have to be paying then you'll have to be paying the cheese tax from here on out.
[00:50:10] Unknown:
See, that's the thing. I don't know because that's the thing. Bella really doesn't ask for food when I'm in the kitchen. You know? She does not. It's crazy. And that's good. And that's cool. No. I'm not I'm not arguing about it, but I'm just saying it's, you know, because most dogs, you know, when you're making food yeah. Most dogs are like, yeah. I want I wanna eat what you're eating. You know? Yeah. That was Augie.
[00:50:35] Duuude-Ron :
That was Augie. And Augie did get cheese tax.
[00:50:41] Unknown:
Right.
[00:50:42] Duuude-Ron :
He heard that cheese wrapper being manipulated, oh, yeah. He was dead up in your shit. I mean, right there in your face, cheese tax, motherfucker. Cheese tax. Hey. No. He was hilarious. One day, I'll get another dog. I need to get a cheap dog.
[00:51:07] Unknown:
Yeah. You do.
[00:51:08] Rich Chelson:
Great thing to get cheap dogs.
[00:51:11] Duuude-Ron :
No. No? You know, if I honestly, if I would have to choose a breed, I'd choose the one that Rich chose, pit bull.
[00:51:21] Rich Chelson:
What pit bull? You're the pitty pitty? Mhmm.
[00:51:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. And then the third breeds,
[00:51:28] Rich Chelson:
as long as you as long as you exercise them and you socialize them.
[00:51:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[00:51:34] Unknown:
See, that's the thing. Any dog's like that. It's it's it's it's all in how you treat them.
[00:51:40] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. Same way with kids. If you're a racist, your kids will grow up to be racist.
[00:51:48] Unknown:
Right.
[00:51:49] Duuude-Ron :
Because it's not something they're born with.
[00:51:53] Unknown:
No. That's true. That is very true.
[00:51:56] Duuude-Ron :
So how's you know, I can't I think we talked about it last night, but the mayor of Chicago, you know, there's no crime, and there's no crime going on. It's a happy go lucky place, Chicago. Labor Day weekend, they had oh, the number was up.
[00:52:12] Rich Chelson:
It went up to Oh, yeah. Oh, so 100, wasn't it?
[00:52:16] Unknown:
That's
[00:52:17] Duuude-Ron :
The last one I heard was 81 shot, and eight died. Damn. That was Labor Day weekend. Now there's no crime in Chicago.
[00:52:31] Unknown:
Right. Well, I had saw I had saw, like, a little video of of her. It was it was on a short or some Facebook short of reel or whatever, something like that. But, anyway, she was saying that since Trump is not if if Trump would go after the gun manufacturers and and and the gun dealers, then that would cure violent crime in this country. And I'm thinking, are you that stupid lady? And she I mean, she literally is because it doesn't matter what you do to the makers or the gun dealers or to the law abiding gun owners because the criminals are still gonna get the guns.
[00:53:17] Rich Chelson:
Absolutely. Well, I mean You have all the gun we should be going over going after, Carvana for, vehicular homicides and, and and, you know
[00:53:29] Unknown:
Yeah. You're down here. For
[00:53:32] Rich Chelson:
Ace Hardware for, for hammered homicides using hammers.
[00:53:36] Duuude-Ron :
Or machetes.
[00:53:38] Unknown:
Right. Or an ax. Machetes. Yeah. Yeah. Or an ax. Yeah. I mean I mean, you know you know, if we're gonna go after the guns, let's fucking go after the carmakers. Let's go after fucking everything else that kills people. And, actually, knives kill more people than fucking guns do. Yeah. Look it up. Look it up. There are more knife related deaths than there are gun related deaths.
[00:54:03] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Because every single you know, I can't say every single, but ninety nine plus percent, everybody in United States has knives in their utensil drawer.
[00:54:16] Unknown:
Mhmm. Yeah.
[00:54:18] Duuude-Ron :
And I have some big knives in my utensil drawer. They may not be as sharp as riches, but they'll stab you all the same.
[00:54:30] Unknown:
Right.
[00:54:31] Duuude-Ron :
It's just like I got four four or five guns in this house. Never once has any of those guns jumped up and shot themselves.
[00:54:43] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. Yeah. They they haven't they haven't done that yet.
[00:54:48] Duuude-Ron :
No. So yeah. If they when they outlawed the guns, the only ones that'll have guns are the outlaws.
[00:54:56] Unknown:
Yep. I mean, that's and you see, that's the thing. You know? The freaking Democrats don't want to admit that. You know? And then and then when you bring up, well, let's go after the car manufacturers. You know? Because they tried going after the cigarette manufacturers, you know, blaming them for for all the smoking smoking related deaths. Yeah. No. You can't. It's a choice. It's people. Yeah. Exactly right. People.
[00:55:28] Duuude-Ron :
It is a choice.
[00:55:30] Unknown:
You know, I mean And
[00:55:32] Duuude-Ron :
I'm And you're never gonna outlaw tobacco. No.
[00:55:37] Unknown:
They have curtailed it, but you'll
[00:55:40] Duuude-Ron :
never outlaw it. Well, yeah, they curtailed and tax the fuck out of it.
[00:55:45] Unknown:
Right. But but, see, the thing is, the cigarette companies did not kill the Marlboro man. He chose it. Yeah. Just like everybody who smokes, they choose to. No one's holding a gun to their head. You know? But no. Those people don't they don't wanna see that and admit that. You know?
[00:56:09] Duuude-Ron :
Of course not. That's that there's no narrative in it then.
[00:56:14] Unknown:
Right. Exactly. Exactly. And that's just that's just wrong, I think.
[00:56:22] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. When you put narrative to everything instead of actually oh, let's let's, you know, let's talk about trying to fix shit instead of let's just talk about the narrative.
[00:56:35] Unknown:
Right. And see, that's the thing. You know? People people don't wanna do that because, oh, that means action will have to be taken, and no one wants to take responsibility for it. You know? Yeah. That's just exactly what it is.
[00:56:53] Duuude-Ron :
Mhmm. It is. Right? They it's too easy to blame the other person than it is to fucking get shit accomplished and fixed.
[00:57:05] Unknown:
Right? That's and and and that's exactly and that's exactly what it is. You know? Everyone wants to sit and talk about it for years and years and, oh oh, we need new laws. No. We just need to the laws are there.
[00:57:24] Duuude-Ron :
You just need to enforce the laws that are there. Yep. Oh, and this like, the the immigration and the CDL and all that shit? Mhmm. Trump doesn't need to write, and nobody needs to write new laws about that because the laws were written back when Johnson and Kennedy were in fucking office.
[00:57:45] Unknown:
Right.
[00:57:46] Duuude-Ron :
Those laws were written for illegal immigrants, and CDLs were written back in president Johnson's time frame.
[00:57:57] Unknown:
Yeah.
[00:57:58] Duuude-Ron :
Or Carter. Who came after Johnson?
[00:58:01] Rich Chelson:
That was Nixon. Right? Carter. Yeah. He came after Carter. Carter was before Reagan.
[00:58:08] Unknown:
Ford. Ford came after Nixon, and, Carter came after Ford.
[00:58:13] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. So it was right in that era that they did the law about immigrants and CDLs, but nobody well, Obama wrote an executive order that didn't abolish the law but didn't take any action.
[00:58:34] Unknown:
Right.
[00:58:35] Duuude-Ron :
And I can't remember what the fuck it was called. And now, oh, god forbid. You know, we're taking it because of that one incident of the u-turn on Florida. Well, that's that's the the spark that got the fire going, and don't have to write any laws. They're there. Just enforce them.
[00:58:59] Unknown:
Right? But oh, yeah. No. But, yeah, that's like when I was coming home from Kentucky. Coming through Alabama. Oh my god. Alabama had trucks pulled over like fucking crazy.
[00:59:11] Duuude-Ron :
Good.
[00:59:12] Unknown:
I probably saw, fuck, forty forty trucks from the top of Alabama down down through to Mobile pulled over.
[00:59:23] Duuude-Ron :
So I don't care who they're pulling over. They pull me over. Right. Okay. Now, obviously, I'm not gonna have to have an English comprehension quiz given to me. But, yeah, they're gonna fucking dig up in my truck, and they're gonna fucking give me do a level two or a level one inspection. Okay. I'm not above the law. But, yeah, that and, yeah, they should be hitting it. Okay. And it's not profiling because if you have all the dot right documentation, you know, all that other stuff, you know, you'll be sent on your merry way.
[01:00:04] Unknown:
DOT cops don't give a fuck, and and the judges don't either. If it's a CDL holder yeah. It, I mean, there's no profiling involved there. They just they just if you're driving a big truck and they wanna pull you over, they just do it. They're going to. Yep.
[01:00:21] Duuude-Ron :
Why? Because they can. Yep. It's a commercial vehicle on a public roadway. That's the only justification they need.
[01:00:31] Unknown:
Yep. That's it.
[01:00:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. But
[01:00:34] Unknown:
Yeah. No. It was just it was just crazy, and I I was I was I was driving by, and I'm like, yep. I ain't gotta worry about that.
[01:00:42] Rich Chelson:
No, Moss. Nope.
[01:00:44] Unknown:
I ain't gotta worry about that, and I just kept driving.
[01:00:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. You know what you should've done? It's honked and waved.
[01:00:52] Unknown:
Oh, hell. Most now most of them, they they was getting them on exit ramps. There was a few that that were on this on the shoulder of the road, but but that that was only, like, maybe two or three. Yeah. Right. Rest of them rest of them were on exit ramps.
[01:01:12] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. And that and that's something that I would do. I don't care if the next exit ramp is five miles down the road and DPS is behind me with the lights. I'll put on my flashers, and I'll continue to drive down the road until I can exit off the interstate. Right. So I'm not gonna have I'm not gonna have, you know, his life and my life in danger for a roadside inspection on the side of the fucking interstate. And guarantee, you know, he might hit the siren a couple times, you know, to let me know he's behind me, but I'll just keep going until there's an exit, and I can get off onto, you know, an access road.
Hey. Not a problem. We'll do that then. But I'm not gonna fucking pull over on the side, you know, On the shoulder on the interstate, fuck that shit. Not if I'm hauling you know? Let's see. What was it? Last last Wednesday, I was hauling about 10,000 pounds worth of acetylene.
[01:02:16] Unknown:
Well, I mean, you see, that's the thing. A lot of trucks think they can't. You know, they have to stay on the pavement. If it hasn't rained for a month, you can half pull on the grass and you're not gonna sink. But a lot of people think, oh, I'm gonna sink. I'm 80,000 pounds. No. You're not. The ground's a little tougher than that.
[01:02:39] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And the only reason why I'm going off the road is because I don't wanna fucking get the truck back to the truck hit with fucking having flammables. No. Thank you.
[01:02:50] Unknown:
Well, see see, the thing is, even on an exit ramp or something like that, you can still get hit because people don't don't fucking pay attention to nothing.
[01:02:59] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Well, that's very true. That's why I get to a as safe as a point as possible if I'm, you know, traveling down the interstate and just one pops up behind me. Now up North Of Italy, they have an old rest stop that they do level one inspections, and there's the exit, the off or the on ramp right before that rest station. You know, if you see a DPS car there, yep, you're just going into that rest stop. Right. I'd do it anyway even if it wasn't a sting, and I'm getting off the damn road. And they you know, once you do that, then they know and they appreciate what you're doing.
[01:03:48] Unknown:
Yeah. But it doesn't score no points with them because if they find something wrong, they still gotta write your ticket.
[01:03:56] Duuude-Ron :
And that is absolutely fine. If they find something wrong, they're gonna find something wrong regardless if I'm right on the shoulder of the interstate or if I'm on the access road. That's fine. At least nobody's gonna fucking get the the chance of somebody getting killed is a lot less. Yeah. But, you know, if he finds something, he finds something. Now I try not to, you know, let them find anything.
[01:04:23] Unknown:
Well, I wouldn't either.
[01:04:25] Duuude-Ron :
That's But, again, when you have players. Well and my last level one, I was telling you guys about that. My ABS splitter on the trailer had a slight audible air leak. My mechanic had a hard time finding it, but they found one. They wrote me up, and that's fine. You know?
[01:04:48] Unknown:
Yeah. You had told us about that one.
[01:04:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So like I said, I'm gonna have a I don't have a problem when I get pulled over. Here's the document, sir. Do what you gotta do because you're gonna do it anyway.
[01:05:00] Unknown:
Right.
[01:05:03] Duuude-Ron :
O'Brien's awfully quiet this week.
[01:05:06] Rich Chelson:
Stuff in my mouth.
[01:05:07] Unknown:
Oh, he's stuffing his mouth. Okay. Yeah.
[01:05:10] Rich Chelson:
Mizzou makes good food, so I'm I'm consuming it.
[01:05:14] Unknown:
Well, what well, what did she make?
[01:05:17] Rich Chelson:
Well, I'm not sure exactly what it's called. It's got, asparagus, green hamburger meat, potatoes, cheese, and a whole lot of yum.
[01:05:27] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Sounds like a sounds like kinda like a calabash if it was seafood. I would call it shepherd's pie.
[01:05:37] Rich Chelson:
No. No. It's not, it's not mashed taters.
[01:05:40] Duuude-Ron :
Well, as long as it as long as it sets well with the taste buds, who gives a fuck?
[01:05:47] Rich Chelson:
Right? Oh, absolutely. It is just quite scrumdiddly umptuous and and marvelous as it always is.
[01:05:55] Unknown:
So Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're just saying that so when mama hear hears this podcast later, you can score points. I I
[01:06:05] Rich Chelson:
know what you're doing, Brian. Well, you know, I mean, never heard to throw that some extra in case I go off and screw up somewhere else. You know? Right. Right. You know what I mean? Maybe I'll end up today with, you know, a with a plus one.
[01:06:19] Unknown:
Right. I mean, no. I don't blame you, dude. Hey. Score them brownie points anyway you can get them. I just I just know what you're doing. No. It's it's good. I bet it. You know? I mean, I I like honestly, I like asparagus.
[01:06:35] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[01:06:37] Unknown:
But you see, then again, I also like brussels sprouts.
[01:06:40] Rich Chelson:
Well, I've actually heard something interesting about brussels sprouts.
[01:06:45] Unknown:
What's that?
[01:06:46] Rich Chelson:
That the brussels sprouts that we are eating now Mhmm. Are not the same brussels sprouts from the fifties, fifties and sixties.
[01:06:57] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:06:59] Rich Chelson:
You ain't gonna eat dog, then you ain't gonna I ain't gonna sit there and listen to you, sit there and growl just because you think it's something to do.
[01:07:06] Unknown:
I was gonna say, they were eating dog is brussels sprouts in the fifties.
[01:07:13] Duuude-Ron :
You know, that's about the way I comprehended that as well. I know. It's just Rich.
[01:07:20] Unknown:
Yeah. It took me a second to be like, oh, okay. He paused to talk with the dog first. Yeah.
[01:07:27] Rich Chelson:
Tell the dogs not to talk to. But oh, yeah. So now back in the, fifties and sixties and and earlier, the brussels sprouts actually had a had a different flavor profile. And the there's two different types of of compounds that are in in brussels sprouts that are what give it the the bitter flavor that most people would turn off by. And in the mid seventies to eighties, they actually started growing a different type of brussels sprout that had that was able to produce more brussels sprouts on higher straighter stocks because those stocks are easier to harvest.
And so in doing so, those those Yeah. Higher straighter stocked brussels sprouts actually have more of the, of the bitter compounds in them. And so they've so that's why nowadays, so many people don't like brussels sprouts because they are so bitter, and that's because of the wanting to produce a more brussel sprouts as opposed to bit producing better brussel sprouts.
[01:08:49] Unknown:
Right. Well, you see, the thing is, those people that that don't like them because of the bitterness, they're just not using enough butter. Not using enough bacon grease. Well, that too. I mean I mean, come on now.
[01:09:04] Rich Chelson:
That's about the only way I can actually eat them. Is it if they're they're drowned in in in bacon grease, okay, then then we're good.
[01:09:12] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. You so we're genetically changing the brussels sprout to a different gene of brussels sprout to chemically alterate it with bacon grease and then chemically alterate alterating it again with butter, well, fuck. We just there you go.
[01:09:33] Unknown:
Hold it. I use real butter, dude.
[01:09:36] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Not that margarine.
[01:09:37] Unknown:
I I don't I don't use margarine. I don't I don't use that tub butter. I use real butter.
[01:09:43] Rich Chelson:
The Oh, y'all hear speaking of butter, y'all hear what, what they're what they're trying to do? What? Butter your buns? No. They're making they have they have got and I heard this off of, no agenda. And Bill Gates is doing is is funded a research on making, basically, version four point o butt margarine. And what that four point o margarine is is using using, what is it?
[01:10:22] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know.
[01:10:23] Unknown:
Oh, sorry. You're in it's one molecule away from plastic. Yes. But but what it was,
[01:10:29] Rich Chelson:
version one was in in World War two during rationing. A scientist actually went off and stopped begging. What?
[01:10:40] Duuude-Ron :
Are you oh, what?
[01:10:42] Rich Chelson:
Fucking dogs are sitting there. They were two not even two inches. They're, like, on touching my my damn plate with their nose going, hey. Hey. Hey. Well, it's a fuck you. You ain't getting shit now.
[01:10:56] Unknown:
So but Mhmm. Girl,
[01:11:01] Rich Chelson:
when you can't when you ain't willing to well, to be patient, you ain't gonna get shit. So but, anyhow, version one back in World War two during the rations, the the there was a scientist who actually figured out that you can modify coal oil into becoming a edible fat, and that became the margarine, first type of margarine. And then they kinda shifted. Version two point o become oleo, which is margarine from animal fat, hydrogenated hydrogenated Possible fat. May but turned it into Olio, which is just a type of margarine, which is a little more natural closer to real butter than than anything else.
Then you had version three, which was which was vegetable oil, and they figured out how to to oxygenate that so that it became a edible edible oil. And so you've got the margarine that we have today that I can't believe it's not butter type of butter stuff. Well, Bill Gates Institute has decided we need to figure out how and they found out a way to turn carbon into margarine.
[01:12:28] Duuude-Ron :
Turn what into margarine?
[01:12:30] Rich Chelson:
Carbon. Carbon. Blackstone. Carbon. You know, carbon dioxide. Carbon. You know? Okay. The the the element that every living being in the on the planet Earth is made of. Alright. They figured out how to take carbon and turn it into a into a margarine, into an edible butter spread that that, people could consume. It would decrease the the the carbon count in in the air and all that. But if you'd really look at it, you take your your hydro you you've got hydrogenated carbon particles. You've got hydro hydrogen and oxygen. You've got the the oxygenated hydrocarbons.
So, basically, what they're doing is they're making petroleum jelly and turning it into a making it a little more firmer. Adding some butter type of flavors so people might accidentally like it. But it's Yeah. Just I mean, it's like yeah. Let's feed everybody oil bad, so let's feed them oil type of thing. And it's just a a such a a Yeah. A weird come along to, to try to draw people you know, to come up with something different. It's like, oh, well, you know, can't eat butter because, you know, butter is made from cows and, you know, for whatever reason, you can't
[01:14:05] Duuude-Ron :
get Well, why not? Genetically making meat, which has now been they're fixing to ban that in The United States.
[01:14:16] Rich Chelson:
They're working at it. Yeah. There's I mean, you got the
[01:14:19] Duuude-Ron :
What Bill Gates needs to do is just fucking go to his $180,000,000 residence and just fucking sit there and stop funding all of this bullshit.
[01:14:39] Rich Chelson:
Well, but that's no fun.
[01:14:42] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Somebody just needs to take a knife to his or it is to, his tendons right behind his, ankles.
[01:14:52] Rich Chelson:
No.
[01:14:53] Duuude-Ron :
That wouldn't shut him up, but, you know, that would I think that'd be I think that'd be just funny as hell.
[01:14:58] Rich Chelson:
Well, well, at the same time, I don't think that would be too good of a thing to to to do. But, yeah, just why he thinks he's got a medal with absolutely everything is,
[01:15:12] Duuude-Ron :
because he has god complex.
[01:15:15] Rich Chelson:
Oh, that's a good reason to put it. Yeah. Because he has so much money,
[01:15:20] Duuude-Ron :
he can play God.
[01:15:22] Unknown:
Well He thinks he
[01:15:24] Duuude-Ron :
can. Yeah. Yes. You're right. He thinks he can, but I can't wait for the day that he goes and meets that gentleman and finds finds his fate.
[01:15:35] Unknown:
Honestly, I don't think he even thinks about it.
[01:15:38] Duuude-Ron :
I know he doesn't He doesn't think he'll he's
[01:15:41] Rich Chelson:
he's one of those that's trying to find different ways of living forever. So
[01:15:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Ain't gonna happen.
[01:15:49] Unknown:
Oh, I got a recipe I gotta try.
[01:15:53] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah.
[01:15:54] Unknown:
Matt sent it to me, and he found it on TikTok. It's bacon and pancakes, but it's all made in one pan. Oh, there you go. Yeah. You cook bacon up. And in in the video, it said you only use six ounces of bacon. And I'm thinking, if six ounces is good, why not just use a whole fucking package? Because a package is is not even a pound anymore. It's only twice. It's like 12 ounces. So use a whole package. You know? And then, you know, you drain out some of the grease, not all of it, but some of it. Put the bake you know, keep the bacon in there, and then you mix up, pancake mix and few other things and then pour it in there and then throw it in the oven. I'm like, yeah. I gotta try that shit.
I'm gonna be a fat boy for a couple days.
[01:16:49] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[01:16:51] Unknown:
Because that just sounds good.
[01:16:54] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, you know it's better than bacon. Right?
[01:16:57] Unknown:
More bacon.
[01:16:58] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I have sluts buckling lutely.
[01:17:02] Unknown:
And hence why hence why I'm gonna eat well, you see the see the thing is the bacon I get is like the ends and pieces, and I get it in one and a half pound packs. So I'm a wind up cooking all the bacon, but I'm not gonna use it all in with the pancakes. I use quite a bit of it, but, I won't use all of it.
[01:17:26] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you're right. You just and crumple that up and make your after eating the you know, that dish, and you said about being a fat ass, you know, you could take the rest of that bacon, crumple it up in the beets, and put it on your fucking salad.
[01:17:43] Unknown:
Yeah. No. I just I just I just eat the bacon by itself. I mean, I mean, if if if I do happen to have salad, oh, shit. Yeah. I will I will put the rest of it on salad. I ain't scared. But, yeah, I'll probably just, eat the rest of the bacon. So
[01:18:02] Duuude-Ron :
but yeah. I Yeah. Well, yeah, have it have it as a side dish to your main course. Right?
[01:18:08] Unknown:
Right. Right. But yeah. No. I gotta I gotta run to the store and because I don't have pancake mix. I mean, I could make my own pancake mix.
[01:18:20] Duuude-Ron :
It doesn't take Yeah. You ain't you ain't gonna fucking run to the store. You ain't even gonna run down to the to the end of your driveway. No. You're right. You gotta run to the store. I'm gonna drive.
[01:18:34] Unknown:
And that includes to the end of the driveway.
[01:18:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. And, you know, it's so funny that everybody wants the closest parking spot to say, okay, Walmart, Target. And where do they end up walking? All the way to the back of the store.
[01:18:50] Unknown:
Right.
[01:18:51] Duuude-Ron :
So what was the purpose? What was the purpose?
[01:18:55] Unknown:
There were so many of driving
[01:18:58] Duuude-Ron :
and trying to find that closest parking slot to walk all the way to the back of the store.
[01:19:04] Unknown:
And buy an 85 inch TV. Yeah. What's up with that?
[01:19:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I need to let you know, if you put four of those and they're they're frameless, then you would have a 170 inches by 85. Yeah. 170 inches by whatever. Yeah. That'd take up the whole fucking my whole goddamn wall. Right? Right. I bet you I bet you could probably game on that pretty damn good.
[01:19:34] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Well, you see, actually, though. Right? You see you see, that's the thing. Smart people, and I think now they have made a couple 100 inch TVs, but they never took off. You know why? Mhmm. Because they started making four k projectors. All you need is a 100.
[01:19:56] Duuude-Ron :
That may also have panels that you can build a television whatever size you want, and it say, like, 40 panels all put together.
[01:20:10] Unknown:
Yeah. But, yeah, that's, yeah, that's the thing. Freaking projectors have are, are a real big thing. So if you have a wall that's, you know, a 120 inches, you've got a 120 inch TV. Just throw it up on the wall.
[01:20:27] Duuude-Ron :
And, you know, having a four g projector is absolutely great unless you have if you don't have fucking spackled walls.
[01:20:37] Unknown:
Well, you would have to sand them down and
[01:20:40] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But the okay. The four g is only gonna be as good of a quality as your fucking wall is.
[01:20:47] Unknown:
Well, yeah. Yeah. You might have to, smooth your wall out. Mine are orange peel.
[01:20:54] Duuude-Ron :
So no. I'm you know, what is mine? 60. Fuck. I'd have to actually measure it. I think it's a 65. I'm good with that. Yeah. I can game just as well on, you know, a 65 inch.
[01:21:09] Unknown:
I do. I'm happy with mine.
[01:21:14] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I know. But if you had a 178 inch, man, you you could damn near fucking step into that motherfucking game then.
[01:21:22] Unknown:
Nah. I think I'm good.
[01:21:25] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Because then you'd have to actually run around and hold all all that shit with what was that game that you're playing? Call the Call of Duty. You actually have to haul that all that shit around. Well, there's a deal with that.
[01:21:41] Unknown:
No. Hell no. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. See see, when I play see, when I play Call of Duty, it's just me playing. When I play breakpoint, I've got I've got three other squad members that are, you know AI. Yeah. Yeah. AI. And, yeah, those guys help me out. So, you know, I've got my guns and stuff. I let them handle the rest of the stuff.
[01:22:05] Duuude-Ron :
It ain't gonna work in the real fucking world. It wouldn't work if you stepped your foot into that game itself.
[01:22:14] Unknown:
Oh, no.
[01:22:16] Duuude-Ron :
Well, you know, you might have some AI people that are right there to support you and carry some of that stuff. Who knows?
[01:22:25] Unknown:
Well, I mean, they they are they are they are making them robots that can, you know, traverse many different terrains, and they're made to carry shit.
[01:22:37] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah, that's very true.
[01:22:39] Unknown:
So, I mean, it's it is possible.
[01:22:42] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. And they already got fucking AI dogs. Yeah. Little fucking Pekingese or whatever the fuck they are. Why somebody would buy a fucking fake dog?
[01:22:56] Unknown:
Well, there's no mess to clean up, dude. Think about that.
[01:23:00] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. There there's no mess to clean up, but you know what? There's no love to be received.
[01:23:08] Unknown:
Well, true. This is true. I mean, there's there's no well, I would say there's no vet bills, but there'd be IT bills. Yeah. And IT bills cost a whole lot more in vet bills. But yeah. No. You're right. Because I don't think those well, robots haven't haven't come as far enough as to, have robots with, empathy in them. Yeah. They are working on it, though. I do know that. They are working on it.
[01:23:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No. If I'm gonna have a dog, I'm gonna have one that I may have to clean up after if they make a mess in the house and also clean up the fucking yard too. But, you know, hey.
[01:23:58] Unknown:
It is what it is. I just mow the yard.
[01:24:01] Rich Chelson:
Exactly. Just mulch it up, turn it into fertilizer.
[01:24:05] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah, I I can agree on that. Yeah. I mean Until you until you mow it, and then you walk out there and step in a great big turd that you tried to make fertilizer out of.
[01:24:22] Rich Chelson:
It happens.
[01:24:24] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You're right. It does happen. Happens. I've done it. Right. Like, what I'm sure, you know, and I bet you did it having bare feet.
[01:24:32] Rich Chelson:
Oh, no. No. No. I don't mow the lawn barefoot.
[01:24:35] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. Oh, well no. Well, I'm talking about after you get done mowing and then you're walking bare feet. I'm I'd step in it and it'd be be wet enough to where I slide.
[01:24:47] Rich Chelson:
Like, ah, son of a bitch. Damn it.
[01:24:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's that's
[01:24:52] Unknown:
that's twenty minutes. Got a zero turn.
[01:24:56] Rich Chelson:
You got a zero turn. Yeah. Mhmm. I see it.
[01:25:00] Unknown:
Let the wheels drive over it. And, besides, my yard's huge.
[01:25:04] Duuude-Ron :

And I'm like, don't you do it, you son of a bitch. And and he'd stop. He'd let me look around. And then he when he got close enough, he would jump on my desk, run across my damn computer, and then and then just run to the other side. I mean, it was like, you son of a bitch. Because he would push keys as as as he was running across my desk, like, my laptop.
And I'm like and and, I mean, he'd do it all the time. Well, shit. And it was funny when I was when I was home, I'd whistle to him. Right? And, you know, get him to whistle back, he wouldn't do it. But if I called my ex wife and talked to her on the phone and he heard my voice, he'd start whistling.
[01:27:20] Rich Chelson:
Uh-huh.

Well, you do have a point. Because, I was I was I was thinking about going naked. Probably taking the top off tomorrow because this they're not saying anything about rain for, like, the next week.
[01:32:32] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I bet your Bella would be fucking just happy as hell if you took the top off that Jeep.

eventually, maybe, essentially.
[01:33:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But it's a good partnership.
[01:33:33] Unknown:
Right. You have to be somewhat careful because I got a feeling she'd go ride with anybody. You know?
[01:33:42] Rich Chelson:
Good chance. Yeah. Yeah. I I can see that.
[01:33:45] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Have when you got her, was she chipped?

Well, the only one we had that was microchipped was Auggie.
[01:34:34] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:34:35] Duuude-Ron :
All the rest of them you know? Well, like Tinkerbell, she was the last one that we had. Maybe every once in a great while, she would take herself for a walk.
[01:34:51] Unknown:
Right.
[01:34:53] Duuude-Ron :
And I think the furthest she got the last time it happened, because I wasn't paying attention, she got, like, about five houses down. And she was still in the yard. She wasn't she never hit the street. She was still in the yard, but five houses down. Mhmm. But for the most part, she did my next door neighbors up to their driveway, the curb, my driveway. That's where she hung out. Okay. And she was she was never on a leash.
[01:35:29] Unknown:
Right.
[01:35:31] Duuude-Ron :
So Oh, I get it. She knew her limits, but every once in a while, she'd be like, you know what? I'm just gonna take myself for a walk. Right. And she won.
[01:35:43] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Freaking Bella saw her first turtle today. Yeah. It was a it was a box turtle. And, oh, yeah. She had to sniff it and everything like that, and and, she tried to kinda open her mouth, I guess, and and pick it up, and I wouldn't let her. You know? I was like, you better watch out. You get bit, honey. And so I I didn't I didn't let her go too far. Uh-huh. Hey. Come on. Then she lost interest.
[01:36:18] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. She like, okay. Thing I gotta do now
[01:36:21] Unknown:
then. Right. But, yeah, she and and the other night, when I was walking Bella, there was a stray cat right out in the middle of the street fixing to walk in my yard and Bella saw. And, yeah, that cat didn't hang around. Yeah. And it it just it just said, nope. I'm not coming in the yard. I'm a stay right here in the street. And, you know, I I mean, I I honestly, I still don't think Bella would hurt the cat. Bella just wants to sniff one is what it is, but I'm not sure. You know? No one
[01:37:01] Duuude-Ron :
that any cat is gonna really allow that in any shape or form. Right. They're gonna say, get, fuck out of my bubble butter.
[01:37:12] Unknown:
I don't you know, I I mean, I've I've known a couple cats that they didn't give a care about dogs, but but they had been raised well, some Oh, yeah. Outdoor cats, but they had been raised around dogs. You know? Yeah. So, yeah, the these cats, if a dog was around, they're like, yeah. So I don't care.

Right. And they do very quickly.
[01:37:56] Duuude-Ron :
That's good. Very
[01:37:57] Unknown:
very quickly.
[01:37:59] Duuude-Ron :
Well, it's too bad I don't have a BB gun because then a lot of the cats in my neighborhood would not be in the neighborhood anymore.
[01:38:06] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:38:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. If they go to somebody else's neighborhood, that's fine. Just as long as it ain't my neighborhood.
[01:38:13] Unknown:
Yes. They're okay.
[01:38:15] Duuude-Ron :
I'm not too much of a cat person.

[01:38:38] Duuude-Ron :
them. No. I just move real quick so they go the other direction. That'll Yep. I'll be like, see you. Until the next time I see you, and then we'll be repeating, you know, shampoo, rinse, and retreat, and repeat. Right.
[01:38:57] Unknown:
But, yeah, other than that, I haven't seen too much happening on the news. The big thing going around right now is RFK Jr just nailed a a a Democratic senator.
[01:39:10] Rich Chelson:

[01:39:17] Unknown:
No. The the, senator tried to throw some bullshit out there in the perfect RFK Jr is about children, and RFK Jr just fucking just tore into his ass. I mean, tore him up a new one. He's like, you've been up there in that position twenty to twenty five years, and you still haven't done anything for the children. Oh, yeah. I was like, fuck yeah. That was cool.

That's I mean I mean, I'm glad someone's speaking up and and and, you know, not not hiding behind not hiding behind, you know, you know, being nice about it. They're, like, saying, screw you, dude. Right. Yeah. You know, they're saying, oh, hell no. This is the way it is. You know? And it's like, I just saw a meme earlier. I see, I think it was on Facebook, fucking Bernie Sanders. He said dumbass. He is a dumbass.
I and I'd I don't know if it was the same senate hearing or what or if there's another one, but he said everybody in this room has taken money from big pharma. Are we all corrupt? Yeah. I was like, oh my god. How stupid can you be, dude? I'm like,
[01:40:50] Duuude-Ron :
I Yo. Let him let him into or fucking, what's that word when you fucking, not interrogate. What's the word I'm looking for? Incriminate. If he wants to incriminate himself all day long, you know what? That's fine. You know, he he makes that statement. Let's see. Somebody in the justice department now? Well, let's just let's just find out exactly what he's fucking talking about.
[01:41:25] Unknown:
Well, and see, that's the thing. He didn't do it just to himself. He did it. He he freaking did it to the whole Democratic party. And, you know, probably some on the freaking Republican side too. You know? I mean, he's like, you dumbass. You shouldn't have said a word, or you should have rephrased your statement. But I saw that, and I just I just had to laugh. I was like
[01:41:51] Duuude-Ron :
Too late on rephrasing that one. Right?
[01:41:54] Unknown:
Oh, man. As soon as he said it, it was on it was on Twitter. You know that.
[01:41:59] Duuude-Ron :
Without a doubt.
[01:42:01] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:42:02] Duuude-Ron :
No. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it'll come up in my Facebook feed or my, what's that other one I have? The hell is it? Fuck. I don't know. A YouTube feed.
[01:42:17] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:42:18] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I'll come up to him. You know, and I'm just gonna do like you did. Just fucking you're stupid. And just start laughing.
[01:42:27] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. It was yeah. It was I I was just like I mean, shit. Bernie Sanders has been in congress his whole life.
[01:42:36] Rich Chelson:
You know? Well, that's the only job he's ever had. Yeah.
[01:42:40] Duuude-Ron :
And it's amazing that that's the only job he's ever had in his life, and now he has how many hundreds of millions of dollars? How does that math fucking work for somebody that gets a $125,000 a year?
[01:42:56] Rich Chelson:
Or what's her name? The,
[01:42:59] Duuude-Ron :
oh, the Pelosi.
[01:43:00] Rich Chelson:
No. Not even Pelosi. What's her name from Texas? Jasmine Green.
[01:43:05] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Jasmine Crockett.
[01:43:07] Rich Chelson:
Crockett. I mean, yeah, she's, she's already increased her wealth to be in to be in something like $30,000,000.
[01:43:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. For somebody that makes a $125,000, how does that fucking math add up?
[01:43:21] Unknown:
It's called kickbacks. That's just exactly what it's called.
[01:43:27] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It's all about fucking lies and deception. Yeah. And it's on both sides of the house. You know? But Democrats are definitely fucking leading the race.
[01:43:43] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[01:43:44] Duuude-Ron :
I just can't wait till he fucking get something on Adam Schiff and fucking put his ass away.
[01:43:50] Unknown:
They've got enough. They could do it anytime they want it. They just need to get it done. They just end up having to incriminate themselves at the same time. Right.
[01:43:59] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Because I'm sure if they charge them, Adam Schiff, he'd fucking be like, you wanna make a deal? Everybody down. It's called Yeah. You wanna make a deal? Destruction. Yep. You wanna make a deal? Here's this person, this person, this person. This is what they got. You know? Take them all the fuck down. Right. I don't give a shit What party you're in? If you're fucking corrupt, time to fucking go.
[01:44:31] Unknown:
We need to have people to replace them now.
[01:44:34] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I may not be very good at computers, but I'm pretty you know, I ain't corrupt.
[01:44:41] Unknown:
Right.
[01:44:42] Duuude-Ron :
So I think I'd probably do a pretty good job at something. Secretariat, whatever to fuck. Yeah. You just have to find the people that are not corrupt.
[01:44:56] Unknown:
You'd not put that.
[01:44:58] Duuude-Ron :
I know. Because it sure the fuck ain't anybody in Gen z. And the bad thing about that is fucking they'll be taking care of me when I'm in the fucking nursing home. Oh, there's the I can't remember. There's one family that owns, like, two, three hundred nursing homes, and they are short staffing those nursing homes on purpose.
[01:45:25] Unknown:
Why is that?
[01:45:26] Duuude-Ron :
You know, I didn't get I didn't hear as to why, but they are short staffing the the nursing homes because they can. But I don't know. And I don't know why. I can't remember why they said, but, yeah, they're they're fucking underneath the, microscope right now with all their nursing homes. Oh, and and they're possibly gonna get indicted for Medicaid or Medicare and Social Security fraud.
[01:46:06] Unknown:
It wouldn't surprise me.
[01:46:08] Duuude-Ron :
You know, and that why? If you got that much money to own several 100 nursing homes and you're gonna be like that to all of them, you know, that shows the fucking that shows your character that, you know, the elderly are just another fucking piece of meat that they can take money from Right. And extort.
[01:46:36] Rich Chelson:
Well, it's not necessarily the the elderly that they could take the money from because most of the elderly that go into nursing homes so that they can actually go into nursing homes, they have to actually they actually have to be destitute
[01:46:54] Duuude-Ron :
due to, Well yeah. If if you are in a nursing home and being paid for those services, your net worth has to be less than $8,000.
[01:47:08] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:47:09] Duuude-Ron :
And why is that?
[01:47:11] Rich Chelson:
Because if you got more of that, then you can actually afford your own you can afford your own Partly.
[01:47:19] Duuude-Ron :
Partly. Because $8,000, that's what it costs for a funeral,
[01:47:24] Rich Chelson:
roughly. It's a little more for a funeral these days.
[01:47:28] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. But that's why you're allowed, you know, to have your combined assets no more than $8,000. Uh-huh. But, yeah, a funeral actually costs more than $8,000, but, you know, that's the reason why.
[01:47:45] Unknown:
I just tell them to fire up the barbecue grill and cook some ham. Damn right.
[01:47:49] Duuude-Ron :
Damn right. Put a skewer up my ass.
[01:47:52] Unknown:
There you go. I don't know if I'd do that, dude. Just saying.
[01:47:56] Rich Chelson:
But I guess Well, we don't do it a little kink. Just like Yeah. Yeah.
[01:48:03] Duuude-Ron :
Figuratively. However, yeah, just fucking burn my ass up. Hell, you don't even have to fucking put me in an urn. Put me in a goddamn fucking what was that coffee can that Morgan Freeman was in the movie and Jack Nicholson.
[01:48:21] Unknown:
Buckets. What was it, Brian?
[01:48:24] Duuude-Ron :
Bucket list. Bucket list. Bucket list. What was the name of the coffee can that they had their ashes put into?
[01:48:31] Rich Chelson:
I don't know. Probably just pull Chop a
[01:48:34] Duuude-Ron :
chop a nut.
[01:48:35] Rich Chelson:
Oh, chock full of nuts.
[01:48:37] Duuude-Ron :
Chock full of nuts. Yeah. That's all. Just put me in one of those fucking coffee cans and, you know, I'm good because I ain't gonna give a fuck. I don't need it anymore. So deal with what you wanna do. But, yeah, however much it costs to fucking torch my ass, and I'll make my own fucking urn before I die. Well, I made my father do that? Put me in a cardboard tube and
[01:49:05] Unknown:
throw me out with the trash.
[01:49:08] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. I made my father in law's urn. Right. That's cool. You know, those old 18 style casket? Yeah. I made one of those. It was about, oh, 14 inches long by about I don't know, five to six inches wide for the shoulder area.
[01:49:32] Unknown:
Yep.
[01:49:33] Duuude-Ron :
Made it out of walnut walnut mahogany. I don't fucking remember. However, I still have enough wood in there to make my own.
[01:49:42] Unknown:
That's cool. Yeah. I won't I won't I won't go to all that trouble. I I just I wanna be dead. I'm not gonna care.
[01:49:51] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly.
[01:49:52] Unknown:
You know? I seriously, I I'm not gonna care.
[01:49:58] Duuude-Ron :
Well and that's very true. And you know what? If, they bury my lashes in the backyard, Guess what? They'll no they'll no longer have to pay taxes, and the house will stay in the family until there's no more family.
[01:50:17] Unknown:
Right. But, you'd have to check the laws to see if it's it's legal to do that.
[01:50:24] Duuude-Ron :
Well, they tell me I can do whatever the fuck I want with my property.
[01:50:29] Rich Chelson:
So my property. It's the state's property. They just they just rent it to you.
[01:50:34] Duuude-Ron :
Well, that's true too.
[01:50:37] Unknown:
Yeah. You're right. This is why this is why I didn't buy a house for a long, long time because no matter how much land you own, if you don't pay them property taxes, they'll take it from you.
[01:50:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:50:50] Unknown:
So now now since now I'm in this house, I don't have to pay property taxes. That might be a little different, but the town or the state or the county might have rules on, you know you know, if I can bury a human here
[01:51:06] Rich Chelson:
and be Yeah. Well to the gulf. Yeah. Inside probably have. Inside of, inside the city limits. Yeah. They probably got some. Usually, you can have make, like, family.
[01:51:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Family burial site.
[01:51:21] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Out in the, like, out in the country. I mean, I I know in Oklahoma, my that's where my grandma's ashes were were buried there on on on their property.
[01:51:35] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, we'll say in, Southeastern Kentucky, oh my god. They got cemeteries freaking everywhere.
[01:51:44] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[01:51:45] Unknown:
But but you see, those those cemeteries, those are mostly just family cemeteries. Right. Yeah. You know? Because I mean I I mean, if you look on Google Maps at Southeast Southeast Kentucky, they list quite a few cemeteries, you know, you know, different names, of course. And they're they're normally fairly small, but, yeah, that's that's a family cemetery. And it's Yeah. And it's on on the people's lands. You know?
[01:52:17] Duuude-Ron :
Well, in talking about taxes, here you go. Temple and Killeen Mhmm. Just raised property tax again. You better get your 100%. I well, let me finish the story, and then you can say that again because they have so many veterans that have 100% disability rating that they're losing millions and millions of dollars of taxes from property tax because of all the veterans that have a 100% disability.
[01:53:01] Unknown:
Yeah. It's bullshit.
[01:53:03] Duuude-Ron :
And just one of the one of whoever in the fucking what the hell you call it? The board or the fucking who's the local? The city council? Mhmm. One of the city councilmen to make that's the statement they made. Public statement. We're losing so much revenue because of all the people that have 100% disability rating that we're losing millions and millions of tax dollars. So we're gonna raise taxes again.
[01:53:33] Unknown:
Yeah. No. They they just they just needed something that that, they could grasp onto and and make it sound plausible. They just wanted to raise property taxes, but they needed a reason.
[01:53:47] Rich Chelson:
And that's the best reason that Property properties are actually starting to fall there in Texas. There's actually signs that there's fixing there's a good chance that there might be a, a housing collapse in Texas, Florida, and a couple of the other couple of the other states. Okay. Why? Why? That, I haven't been able to grasp as to why.
[01:54:11] Duuude-Ron :
You know, it's not because it ain't because of all the fucking neighborhoods they're building in Temple. Damn. They probably got about 20 neighborhoods going up in Temple right now. Not houses, neighborhoods.
[01:54:27] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well, that can't be what what the, the origin of it is is that, you know, you get you got a shit ton of the wackadoodle, liberals that have hang been hanging out in in Texas. And now they're getting tired of all the, of how the the the state's being run, and so they wanna go try to go back and try a a liberal utopia, you know, or more closer to what they what they would deem as a utopia.
[01:55:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Then they need to take their motherfucking asses back to California or Washington or New York, wherever the fuck they came from, and go to fuck back. That's what they need to do. Yep. Go leave leave fucking Florida, leave Oklahoma, Take your ass back to California where you're happy because you're miserable.
[01:55:26] Rich Chelson:
Just because everyone else likes it here, and you die you think you ought to you ought to make everybody else miserable. Just kinda Yep.
[01:55:35] Unknown:
Yeah. And that's the thing, though. When they move, they still wanna just like the illegal immigrants that come into this country, they wanna bring their culture and all like that with them. It's like, no. There's a reason why you moved.
[01:55:52] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Yeah. If you like if you like your culture so great, go back. Exactly. Go back from where you came from. But that's so mean.
[01:56:04] Rich Chelson:
You should you should be more tolerant to us. Yeah. I know. No? No. Not that you wanna be tolerated, then go someplace where they tolerate you. Don't force everybody else to tolerate you. Right. You know? Yeah. You the price to go live in California is that you pay shit tons and shit tons of money for a property, and then you pay shit tons and shit tons of of taxes for all the free shit that you think you get because you're not actually getting any free shit.
[01:56:37] Unknown:
But they have the appearance of free shit, so that's why they go for it. Then they bitch when they find out they're actually paying for it.
[01:56:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Listen. We ain't gonna get on fucking section eight food stamps, that topic, because then I'd definitely get riled up. You know? Again, thieves. Oh, I thought this was for life, or you can't take that $3,000 a month and, you know, food stamps away from me because I have six kids, and I don't wanna work. Right. You know what? Guess what? Go out and get yourself a motherfucking job.
[01:57:24] Rich Chelson:
As I was driving home from, Pottsville yesterday, I would listen to podcast. I don't listen to it often because a lot of times, it's just a bunch of freaking nonsense, but a lot of folks were talking about it this weekend at or, well, this week. And it is Jubilee, and they had a a capitalist. I can't think of his name at top of my head, but it basically, what it is is it's called surround they do what's called a surrounded episode, and they'll have one, like, capitalist and twenty twenty anti capitalist. And so, basically, they they take turns.
The the anti capitalist take turns going up and seeing if they can do a I gotcha and try to have a debate with, with the this capitalist. And this guy was a this guy was amazing because, I mean, he was a multimillionaire. And one of the things they would would like one guy was like, I I have submitted my, my resume to, to, 700 over 700 different, businesses, and I can't get anybody to hire me. Blah blah blah blah. And just complaining that he wasn't being I'm just gonna alright. Well, I'll tell you what. What do you do? And I think he I forget exactly. He's like, well, actually, I can't remember what it was. So it he's like, I I transportation. It's like, alright. Well, I'll what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hire you I will hire you right now.
I will give you an offer. You I will pay you very, very well, and it will be you will do this, but the the deal is you're gonna have to move down to where I need you to be. And, the guy was just said, I'm gonna pay you well. And the guy was like, well, I don't know what your definition of pay well is. And and just throwing, you know, throwing excuse after excuse after excuse. And the guy was like, that's exactly why you won't be hired because you're too much of a pain in the ass. And another gal was he actually offered. It's like so she was talking about how wonderful communist country, communist, the communist ideology was. And he's like, okay. Well, I'll tell you what.
I will cover a $23,000 tab for you to renounce your citizenship US citizenship. And I will fly you first class to any communist country you want. And I will pay whatever fees needed for you to become a citizen of that, of that location. And late the gal that was was having the cop the had not the discussion with him, she wouldn't take it. She would come up with she was coming up with excuses after excuses. One of them was, well, there's no communist countries in the in the world now. It's like, yeah. There are. There are plenty of them. You choose one. No. There's not any else. So well, I you're if you're gonna sit there and argue there's not and you've come up with as many excuses as to why there's not, then you're you're, you're you're proving everybody's point.
[02:00:46] Duuude-Ron :
That's Yeah.
[02:00:48] Unknown:
And that's the thing that they actually, come to. Do you think they
[02:00:54] Rich Chelson:
those those I know. They never made a difference on who who thought, what, when, where.
[02:01:00] Unknown:
You see, that's just you see, that's why that's why people like that, I won't I won't I won't waste my time on them. You know? Right. Yeah. Because nothing Mhmm. That you say will change your mind or or or even even though you're not trying to really change your mind, they nothing you say will make any difference whatsoever Right. In the way they think, act, or feel. So it's like, why waste your breath?
[02:01:31] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:01:32] Unknown:
You know? So that's why that's why a lot of times, I won't say a word anymore. Because it's like, I'm you do you, boo. And when you have a fucking problem, don't come to me crying because I'm gonna tell you you're fucking wrong.
[02:01:48] Rich Chelson:
Absolutely.
[02:01:50] Unknown:
Yeah. And people don't like it when I tell them they're wrong. But and then and then the thing is when I tell someone they're wrong and when I say those words, I can prove it to them. You know? Right. And they get really pissed then. Yeah. I'm just like, whatever. The truth is the truth. Truth hurts. See, honestly, people get mad. When when people get mad, it's because they heard truth, and it it doesn't sit well with them. It doesn't taste well.
[02:02:27] Rich Chelson:
Well, because it interrupts the the story that they've been telling themselves.
[02:02:31] Unknown:
Right. Right.
[02:02:33] Duuude-Ron :
You know? And I had a little bit of that circumstance aspects happened to me today when I went up to Abilene, one of the other drivers, because I was placarded with nonflammable and oxygen. And we don't use the placard for the truck too very often because we're usually running flammable two and nonflammable two, which oxygen is covered under nonflammable two. So did I even have to placard my truck for oxygen? Well, by cylinder count volume, two thirds of my truck was oxygen that I was hauling up Dabollene today. The other third was all the other gases that I had. So I plackered it for oxygen because more than two thirds of my truck that I was carrying had had oxygen.
And then at the end, as I look at the rest going back, it wasn't thirds, but the count of my oxygen versus everything else, the oxygen count was higher. So I left the placards on there. One of the other drivers, because now they have three shuttle drivers, but only two trucks, so one of the drivers will be at the plant just helping out and, like, what happened to me unloading and reloading my truck. And he asked me why are you plaquing it with oxygen. So I explained to him that right there that I just told you guys. How what it actually say CFR?
That I have not read. But if more than half my load is oxygen, then I'm on a placard for it if I don't have any flammables.
[02:04:39] Unknown:
Yeah. Exactly. No. No. No. You were right, dude, because that's the thing. You know? Yeah. Like okay. Now I do know any explosive was, like, 1.4, 1.2, 1.6. Those, you you have to do the, you know, explosive. But, like, let's say let's say let's say you had acid on your truck. Okay? But you still had more oxygen than you had acid. You know? Let's say you had, like, like, three pallets of acid. You know? Three of, you know, whatever. You know? But your truck was still mostly oxygen. Yeah. You would have to placard oxygen, you know, because of the amount that you had.
You know? Now if you had hydrogen on as well, a lot of you know, let's say let's say you had of the one third left, let's say you had a quarter hydrogen on, you would also have to record for that too because that's Well that's actually the stronger one, isn't it?
[02:05:48] Duuude-Ron :
Well, if you if you have have to plant but oxygen in that case, oxygen would fall back underneath non flan two Okay. If I was running, although, the the flammable placard. Yep. Because I want more than two placards because I can well, now my truck, I can only do two placards. I used to be able to do three, but I had each side changed out for for a different placard style so I can't plan cab run three placards.
[02:06:28] Unknown:
Really?
[02:06:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:06:31] Unknown:
Okay.
[02:06:32] Duuude-Ron :
Because we haul to Koda, the racetrack, Circuit Of The Americas. Mhmm. And that whole truck will be nothing but night so since I have more than 26,001 pounds of product and cylinders, you have to placard with the UN number.
[02:07:00] Unknown:
Right. Right.
[02:07:02] Duuude-Ron :
So I had that style placard put on my truck because we, you know, we haul a lot of stuff down to the racetrack. Right. Okay. But going back to the other driver, he then he makes the statement, and, of course, I yeah. What's the word I'm looking for? He makes the statement. Well, I don't know if I could do that because I've never read up on it. So my comment was is okay. So because you're lazy and you don't wanna find out the information for yourself,
[02:07:46] Rich Chelson:
That's right.
[02:07:47] Duuude-Ron :
Somebody else logic.
[02:07:49] Rich Chelson:
Yeah.
[02:07:50] Duuude-Ron :
I love it. Somebody else to do the work for you to give you that answer because you're too lazy to go do it yourself.
[02:08:00] Unknown:
Right.
[02:08:01] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. I gotcha.
[02:08:03] Unknown:
What did he say to that? Anything?
[02:08:05] Duuude-Ron :
He kinda not really. He did not say anything more. I'm like, that's just like that special permit that I have over here on this cylinder right here. Right. One special permit. Well, look at the damn cylinder. You tell me what the special permit number is on that cylinder. Just that one cylinder. He's looking at it and kinda, you know, didn't quite get it figured out. I said, look at the DOT. It said DOTE9001. It doesn't say 3AA. It says E9001. So the special permit number is 9001. It's an exception because how the ergonomics of the metal that's inside that cylinder makes it the special permit because it could be pumped at a higher PSI than a normal 200 size cylinder can be pumped. Right. He because he was like, you know, I'm like, yeah. Because you don't you know what? Because you don't wanna educate yourself.
[02:09:23] Unknown:
Hence,
[02:09:24] Duuude-Ron :
that's about it. And I and I don't have a problem whatsoever, you know, sharing my knowledge. But when you make a statement like that, well, you know what? Don't expect any more fucking knowledge from me.
[02:09:39] Unknown:
Right.
[02:09:40] Duuude-Ron :
You get stopped by DPS and, you know, you have a DPS officer that's pretty smart and, you know, start first looking at your cylinders and find one and it's not on the the special, you know, on the hazmat sheet, well, guess what? You just got a fucking write up, and you're probably gonna get a fucking fine.
[02:10:01] Unknown:
Well,
[02:10:02] Duuude-Ron :
that's his one. Sell it. Yeah. You're right. Because you don't wanna self educate yourself.
[02:10:08] Unknown:
You know, he's the one that have to pay that money. That's right. Yeah. I I I've got I've got no sympathy for people like that. The information is out there. The information is there. And and if and you can't say, oh, I didn't know. Yeah. Yeah. Bullshit. It's your job to know. So Mhmm. You're gonna pay money.
[02:10:31] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. That's right. So Not a defense. Right? That is absolutely correct. And that particular individual is will probably won't get any more knowledge from me. You want the knowledge? I'm not gonna spoon feed it to you. Go fucking look it up.
[02:10:50] Unknown:
Well, I say that's the thing, though. He carries the book that the information's in. Because by law, you have to carry that green book.
[02:10:59] Duuude-Ron :
That is correct. But the green book has nothing to do with the special permits of the cylinders.
[02:11:12] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Okay.
[02:11:14] Duuude-Ron :
All it has to do is with the gas combinations and the UN number associated with that in case of an emergency. You know? Right. Can we use water on this? Can we use foam on this?
[02:11:34] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:11:35] Duuude-Ron :
Does it have to burn out on its own type of aspect? So that's what they're looking for within that book is how to respond or respond to an emergency on dealing with the gas within the cylinders.
[02:11:52] Unknown:
Well, say the, the, hazmat I hold, everything was basically covered by the green book. So as long as I followed the FMCSA, you know, I I never got in trouble.
[02:12:05] Duuude-Ron :
No. Absolutely. That is correct.
[02:12:08] Unknown:
Yeah. I I never hold no no gas cylinders or anything like that. Right. I was not as special as you there, dude.
[02:12:18] Duuude-Ron :
Well, actually, you're more special.
[02:12:21] Unknown:
How's that?
[02:12:22] Duuude-Ron :
Because I'm not running well, you ran explosives. Right? Did you run explosives?
[02:12:33] Rich Chelson:
I ran guys from the the
[02:12:35] Unknown:
I ran one of the lesser ones. I never Okay. I never ran 1.4 or 1.2. But I ran I ran one of the lesser one. I can't remember what it was, but that was only one time.
[02:12:50] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay. So But, yeah, like you said, that book covers for because every element in the elements table is pretty well covered in that book.
[02:13:04] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I knew that, and that's that's that's what I used when I hauled hazmat. But, again, I didn't haul
[02:13:13] Duuude-Ron :
the stuff. Right. But every piece has a UN number assigned to it. Mhmm. So but it they as soon as they saw what's on the manifest and can reference it by the they're gonna be emergency or attack the emergency. Yep. Oh, yeah. And where and we'll see if Brian knows this one. Nope. Where does the where does the hazmat sheet have to go to?
[02:13:43] Rich Chelson:
What do you mean where does it have to go to?
[02:13:45] Duuude-Ron :
Where where can you put it at within the cab of your truck?
[02:13:50] Rich Chelson:
But I was told you, if you if you are hauling hazmat, of course, I don't because I I don't have that, not that endorsement.
[02:14:01] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Have you ever had a hazmat endorsement?
[02:14:04] Unknown:
No.
[02:14:05] Rich Chelson:
No. I figured it'd probably be in the door.
[02:14:07] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. It has to be in the door panel or no? The dash if you're parked. Well, yeah, if you're parked and not in the vehicle, it has to be on the driver's seat or in the door panel.
[02:14:21] Unknown:
Well, I always had mine in the driver's seat. So or in
[02:14:25] Duuude-Ron :
in the panel, in the door. Yeah. Then that's where I keep mine. That's the only thing I have in my panel is my hazmat book and my manifest and my tickets. That's the only thing that's in my door panel. So but, yeah, if you're out of the vehicle, it has to be in the driver's door panel or on the driver's seat.
[02:14:46] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[02:14:47] Unknown:
And that is that is universally known here in America and every firefighter, police, everybody, they know exactly where it's supposed to be so they could just reach in and grab it and look at it.
[02:15:01] Duuude-Ron :
That's that and that is correct. That is the reason why. It's for first responders. Yep.
[02:15:07] Unknown:
And if it's not there, oh my god. That's a big fine.
[02:15:11] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, I can only imagine how big that fine is. I never thought so. And I sure the hell don't ever ain't ever gonna fucking get one, and I don't wanna know what that fine is. I'm sure it's in the thousands of dollars
[02:15:28] Unknown:
Oh, yeah.
[02:15:29] Duuude-Ron :
Someplace. But yeah. Now when I get RSID, my roadside roadside inspection, the very first thing that DPS is gonna ask for ask from me is my manifest. And you better not have anything on top of that manifest. Nope. And don't dare hand him a clipboard with your driver's license on top of the manifest. Nope. He just We had a driver we had a driver cited for that.
[02:16:06] Unknown:
Really? Yep.
[02:16:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Because he got his driver's license out and put it on the clipboard with the hazmat, but it was on top.
[02:16:17] Unknown:
So He just lost him again.
[02:16:21] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, it gave him a warning, but it cost the company money. It didn't cost him any money because it was a warning, but it cost air gas.
[02:16:33] Unknown:
Right.
[02:16:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. So for two quarters, he lost his driver's bonus.
[02:16:41] Unknown:
Well, that's what happens when you don't follow the rules.
[02:16:44] Duuude-Ron :
That's right. Alright. And I I'll put it to you like this. I didn't know specifically that that was a rule until one of the other drivers got a warning about it. But I keep my manifest on a separate clipboard, so I just hand them that clipboard, and that's the only thing on it is the manifest.
[02:17:05] Unknown:
Yeah. And you see, that's the thing. One thing I did you know, if I got stopped, I would make them ask me for you know? Like like, if I was on hauling hazmat, I would just hand them my manifest. And then I would make them ask me for my driver's license insurance. You know? Then that's what I do. If and all like that. Because this way here, they've got that first part. Okay. There is no there is no hidden anything. That's right there.
[02:17:39] Duuude-Ron :
Now if you want this, I'll just ask me for it. I give it to you. Sure. Sure. You know? And, you know, as that's the first thing I hand them when they open up the door, because they're they're expecting when they open up the door to be able to see that right right then and there. Me, I already have it in my hand. Yeah. So I handed it to them because that's always the first thing they're gonna ask for. Now I have my license out, but, yeah, I wait for them to ask for it, and then I'll hand it to them. Mhmm. And if they don't ask for, you know, all my truck and trailer paperwork, I'm not gonna volunteer it.
But in the same aspect but in the same aspect, it's always correct.
[02:18:25] Unknown:
Right. Yeah. I don't I don't I don't freely give them anything ex except my bill of lady Yep. You know, if I'm all in hazmat. Everything else, now you're gonna ask for it.
[02:18:38] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. That is exactly right. Oh, I saw a TikTok video the other day. How stupid this driver was, He was first he was pretty fucking stupid because he was hauling a, like, a Conex style container on his trailer, placard with explosives, and had zero nothing. No straps, no chains on that container driving down the interstate.
[02:19:15] Unknown:
That ain't smart.
[02:19:16] Rich Chelson:
No. Well, most of the time, Connexus have that have that locking, mechanism on there, on the, on the four corners and usually even one in the, one in the middle or or one on each each side, like the passenger and the,
[02:19:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They're all on four it's on the four corners. Yeah. No. He was he was hauling it on a flatbed.
[02:19:40] Rich Chelson:
Oh, he's on a flat. Okay. I missed that one too. I I I was just gonna ask,
[02:19:45] Unknown:
what type of trailer was he sitting on? Because, you know, if it was, like, a
[02:19:52] Duuude-Ron :
A hidden taxi and stuff. Yeah. Well, it could it's container trailer. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. Then
[02:19:58] Unknown:
then it's got the locks built in, but, yeah, you said flatbed. Yep. That wasn't smart, man.
[02:20:06] Duuude-Ron :
No. I tell you what. If I was behind that guy and it was another truck, and he was wasn't making a TikTok video, but he had his his phone to where, you know, he could hit video and play it, and then he was talking, you know, or making a commentary about it. Shit. I would have been on the phone with 911 and say, hey. I'm at this location right here. I got a truck in front of me hauling explosives, and the container is not tied down to the flatbed. I think we need to get somebody out here and get that truck stopped because I am not stopping that truck.
I'll follow him until you guys get here, but, you know, need to bring somebody out here and just give that driver a friendly words of and what's the word I'm looking for? Friendly words of encouragement to strap that container down.
[02:21:21] Unknown:
Yeah. See, now I just start writing tickets for every strap that's supposed to be on there. It isn't.
[02:21:29] Duuude-Ron :
Well, that is what he would be, you know, being, conveyed as he's getting educated about tie downs
[02:21:43] Unknown:
Right.
[02:21:44] Duuude-Ron :
As I'm writing them on the citation.
[02:21:47] Unknown:
Because I mean, honestly, because I've I've hold them pods before you
[02:21:52] Duuude-Ron :
you've seen them. Right? Yeah. Mhmm.
[02:21:54] Unknown:
Those things are normally, at the most, 3,000 pounds each. Okay? I mean, they're not very big. Yeah. Pretty much. Yeah. I mean, you know, I can throw two straps on, you know, one on the front, one on the back, and be good on each one and you get four on the trailer. You know? And
[02:22:16] Duuude-Ron :
and that's usually what I see going down the road. If it's one of those pods, it'll have two straps per pod Mhmm. Going down the road.
[02:22:25] Unknown:
And so so those those big Connexus or those freaking Connexus normally are empty. They don't they normally don't have stuff. I mean, hell, three straps. Four would hold it. You know? I mean, it's it's not and that's that's just simple. You know?
[02:22:47] Duuude-Ron :
Well, not for that driver, it wasn't.
[02:22:50] Rich Chelson:
He just said he just says very simple for him. Man, they they threw it on the back of the trailer, and he just took off.
[02:22:58] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yep.
[02:23:00] Rich Chelson:
No. He was just for nothing.
[02:23:02] Duuude-Ron :
You know, just like in the movie Smokey and a Bandit with the snowman when he was writing that letter to, to the beer house where they took all the beer. Sitting Bill to Bill Ennis Burdett, b e r. Fuck it. I gotta go. Alright. That's probably what that guy was thinking. You know what got my load? Oh, fuck it. It's time to go. I'm already thirty minutes late for being down the road. Securement. Fuck it. That's the other guy's problem.
[02:23:38] Unknown:

[02:23:45] Unknown:
Exactly. That's funny.
[02:23:48] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. That's what I would've been on. I was on the phone with with 911 saying, hey. We need to get somebody to fuck out here and teach this guy, give him a few words of encouragement, preferably written.
[02:24:06] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. They would, yeah, they would definitely be written out.
[02:24:10] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yes.
[02:24:12] Unknown:
That's it. I you could write him for every strap that's not on there that's supposed to be on there, unsafe equipment because that's unsafe. Probably a few other things if you looked hard enough.
[02:24:26] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Probably make it.
[02:24:28] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Endangering endangering the surrounding public because it was explosives that was not secured down. Yeah. Yeah. Let's find out what all the CFR know, what they relate to this. Yeah. He would have he would not be having a good day.
[02:24:51] Unknown:
No. No. His his day would not be happy at all. Nope. That's funny. And, yeah, I would laugh. I ain't gonna lie. I would.
[02:25:02] Duuude-Ron :
Hell, yeah. That's like I tell these other managers. It's like and I've even told their drivers to the to their faces with the the way they bring labels back that are on their truck. It's like, you know, these labels are about well, they're all this one's illegal. This one's illegal. DPS stops you can get on your truck, they're gonna have a field day. And you know what I'm gonna do? When I find out, I'm gonna come and laugh in your motherfucking face and say, told you.
[02:25:36] Unknown:
I wouldn't do that. I'd just laugh and walk away. Point and laugh.
[02:25:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I yeah. That'd be pretty funny too. Eventually, it's gonna happen. You know? I'm gonna be able to get to laugh.
[02:25:53] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Looks like looks like it's about to be getting that time.
[02:25:57] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. We're slowly getting there. No. As far as anything.
[02:26:00] Unknown:
Yep. Already.
[02:26:07] Rich Chelson:
So now the dogs have finally settled down.
[02:26:12] Duuude-Ron :
Because you don't have any more food.
[02:26:14] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You didn't That Nope. Well, they got food. But
[02:26:19] Duuude-Ron :
Well, it's almost it's almost nappy time.
[02:26:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Not like they hadn't been napping all day.
[02:26:29] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I've seen some of the videos on great days. It's like, yeah. It's time to get up so I can go take a nap. Yeah.
[02:26:38] Rich Chelson:
That's exactly it. It. Scared of everything.
[02:26:44] Duuude-Ron :
And you said, well, you know, the rest of them are obnoxious.
[02:26:51] Rich Chelson:
They they can be.
[02:26:53] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:26:54] Rich Chelson:
Sometimes. But when they start to chill out, they're they're actually kinda nice to have around. Yeah. But they have to wait you have to wait a couple hours for them to chill out.
[02:27:07] Duuude-Ron :
Well, then you have a heated body pillow. Right?
[02:27:11] Rich Chelson:
Well, yes. They they do very good as, as body pillows.
[02:27:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[02:27:17] Rich Chelson:
So Yeah. Well, anyhow, as as you've noticed on this particular show, we don't do ads. We don't do any type of, hey. Buy this mattress. Buy this razor. Buy this particular thing. Hey. Here's a here's a subscription box that cost you $49.95 once a month to give you just random stuff. We don't do that type of stuff. And the reason why we don't do that type of stuff is because we are running through a different style of of of value for value. Now the, the people who advertise, it works for them. Now I'm not not gonna pooh pooh it. I don't think it's the best for us because what we talked about, we could say something and all and offend a a a client because that would who be who we are. We'd be marketing we'd be monetizing our our our audience for for our clients, and our clients would be their advertisers.
And if we said something that the advertisers didn't like, then we'd be out of money. So that's why you get a lot of the down down top YouTube videos these days where they even if they're talking about serious topics like like suicide and things like that, they don't say suicide. They say self deletion or or things along those lines. If you're a show about pornography addiction, you can't on YouTube, you can't you don't don't wanna go off and say, talk about porn because porn is is not something people want to be they want their business to be associated with. And so people have to turn around and start talking about corn addiction, and it's no, there's no there's no there's no addiction to the to the, the bright yellow knobs. It's got the juice. It's got the juice. Such a most wonderful thing because it's porn.
And you've not ever seen that, then where are you? What's that video? That's an amazing video. But but any you've got though you've got a a means of having to self censor if you're with a a an advertiser. Well, the people who we want to receive money from is gonna be for you. And the money is not just so that we can go, ah, yeah. See, look at this. We're making a million dollars a year because now you're never gonna make a million dollars a year. There's podcasts out there that are far more popular that go on the value for value process, and they don't make a million dollars a year. And they even get upwards to 800,000 views per episode, and they do it twice a twice a week.
They have, you know, a 2,000 people on their live streams. So it's, you know, they're they're popular. They're they're well known, and they still don't make, you know, a million dollars a year. So we're not out to get rich. We're just out to do value for value if you because if you find value in what we're doing, then just ask that you return the value back, and that value being either time, talent, and or treasure. And time is take it take a little bit of time out of your, out of your week to sit down and maybe talk with Rich or or I and and do the the chapter art or do this set up the chapters, for for our cloud chapters because we're a pod we're a two point o podcast.
And that means that we have chapters. We have transcripts. We have funding tags. We can you even are able to go live and listen to us live if you want. We have these these features available that many of the other podcasts out there don't, and all those are just because you can listen to us throw up two podcasting two point o app, and I'll jump into that, what those are here in a in a in a quick moment. But the if you have the time, then you can that that's a good way to pay it back. You don't have to contribute money. You could contribute time. If you have talent, you can create cover art or episodic art or chapter art, then, hey. There you go. You would love to be able to have you help us out in that way. Provide the the talent, that you have to help us out to become a have a higher quality experience for the listeners.
And then, again, if you are have have some some treasure available and you'd rather be able to give that, then that's another way that you can do. How much are you should you give? I don't know. How much value did we give to you? That's your that all that choice is completely up to you. You get to make that choice and and and go in that direction. So we are a value for value, and we like I said, we use a the option of podcasting two point o so that apps like like True Fans or Podcast Guru or the newest one that's actually out is Pod Home. Pod Home has their own podcasting app two point o app out now.
And I've been playing around with it a little bit, and it's not a bad little app. It's pretty good. It's got some neat little, neat little features that are all their own and that kinda show you it's a neat little, discovery. I forget exactly what they call it, but it is a means that you can actually it's kinda like using Podpeng, Podpeng's tiles where you actually get to see all of the episodes that are being updated in real time. And it's a it's a pretty neat little, little setup in in in how that, that works out. So you can check things out like that. And what's neat about those is they all support the funding tag, which means that on the app, there is a support this show, support this page, support this this episode, whatever.
And when you click on it for us, it brings up our our PayPal page. And from there, you can actually go and and contribute whatever you want. You can do just a onetime payment, or you can do a a reoccurring payment. That's all we give all the freedom and all the options over to you. And so that's one reason why we do it free so that if you decide you want to, you think you need to contribute something, you have that freedom to do so. And so if you have any comments, questions about that, please send us an email over you can shoot an email over me at [email protected], or you can send Rich an email that's r chelson, [email protected].
And if you wanna get ahold of the dude, since his email is so tough, just send it over to me, me or, or Rich, and we'll get it over to, over the dude, and we will all have a conversation about it when we when we get back together on next Thursday. So, Rich, what do you have to say?
[02:35:00] Unknown:
Oh, not too much. I didn't know Pod Home had their own, podcast app on. I might have checked that out.
[02:35:07] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's a just I I just noticed it a couple days ago or a couple weeks ago. Not a couple weeks, couple last week, whatever that was.
[02:35:17] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Okay. When when I was out of town Yeah. And everything. So, yeah, I know. I've checked that out because, that'd be cool since we have Pod Home as our pod host.
